[10:29] <Origen> xbxx: Yes. Take an image of your box using clonezilla and then just use the command is split out to create an answer file
[10:29] <xbxx> so i have to have windows installed
[10:30] <xbxx> does clonezilla run on linux?
[10:30] <Origen> xbxx: Easiest way to tyink of Clonezilla is a linux based distro that is an opensource version of Symantec Ghost
[10:31] <xbxx> thanks
[10:31] <Origen> xbxx: Not entirely technically acruate but hey... By the way please use my nick if youre asking me more questions so it hilights on my screen or I may miss it

[10:36] <staii2_> my ubuntu system stopped loading after a hibernation, it claims it couldn't mount /dev (and others), then brings up an initramfs prompt. Also, /var/sys/syslog is truncated for some reason, what should i do?
[10:38] <incorrect> i would rather use vinagre if i could set the remote desktop resolution than remmina
[10:38] <incorrect> the docs say it can be done, but the features are just missing
[10:38] <incorrect> where these features compiled out of the deb?
[10:44] <borillion>  just curious what are the prospects of porting something like android face unlock to ubuntu or something?
[10:44] <cousin_luigi> Hello.
[10:45]  * cousin_luigi has two profiles of firefox he wants to use at the same time. Dash gets confused by this and it doesn't recognise the two running instances of ff as distinct. Any workaround?
[10:49] <cloudgeek> how copy all data together from a pendrive using cp command or with other way using command line
[10:49] <cousin_luigi> Also how can you manually edit the dash contents?
[10:49] <cloudgeek> all data means all pen-drive together

[11:01] <irhass_> hi
[11:01] <irhass_> i have a problem with a the sound
[11:02] <Sidewinder1> !sound | irhass_
[11:03] <irhass_> when i plugged an earphone the sound is not in the earphone,but in the speaker
[11:04] <cousin_luigi> nevermind, found it
[11:05] <irhass_> my laptop is Acer Aspire One 722 Linux Edition
[11:05] <cousin_luigi> How would you go on about autostarting apps?
[11:05] <cousin_luigi> putting them in .config/autostart?
[11:06] <mazda01> anyone good with bash and the unrar command. Need a bulk unrar e script to parse source folder for rar sets, IF it find one, then it should cd to that folder and  unrar e the rar set and save the resulting file to a "destiniation" folder, when done, go back to the higher level directory, and continue search for more folders that contain rar sets, etc etc.
[11:07] <irhass_> Im New in IRC ,Help me to learn the IRC
[11:07] <mazda01> oh, good morning by the way. heheheeee   Appreicate any help
[11:07] <mazda01> irhass_, what client are you using? what program are you using to display these IRC messages i meant
[11:07] <irhass_> irssi
[11:09] <mazda01> irhass_, ah, i am not familar with that client, I use a GUI type client in ubuntu. called Xchat
[11:10] <mazda01> irhass_, are you good with bash scripts?
[11:13] <ssta> if you're new to IRC then try a GUI client.  The main advantage of irssi (unless you're an old crusty like me) is that you can run it in screen.  GUI is easier to start with
[11:15] <mazda01> ssta, wow, he's gone already. I was going to second your suggestion. LOL
[11:15] <ssta> oh, I dunno, I ignore joins and parts in here...otherwise the scroll is insane
[11:18]  * coolstar-ipod uses Empathy for IRC
[11:19] <mazda01> i use xchat BUT I am far from some irc guru. LOL I just know what I need to do to help others with IRC and how to get help when I need it. LOL
[11:20] <ssta> I'm just ancient... :P
[11:20] <ssta> plus, I hate mice
[11:22] <zho> anyone here have an experience using HP Storageworks?
[11:23] <blackshirt> Zho,what the problems?
[11:23] <zho> i cannot mount the storage
[11:24] <zho> it looks like i need a driver right?
[11:24] <zho> HP only support Redhat and SUSE
[11:25] <mazda01> anyone have an awesome BULK unrar e bash script?
[11:26] <mazda01> zho, no, sorry. only HP stuff in ubuntu i do is with the printer/scanner I use which is HP and just works because of HPlip (i think it's called HPlip)
[11:27] <zho> mazda01: ic
[11:27] <dr_willis> !info unp | mazda01
[11:28] <Sidewinder1> zho, Is it a standard external hard drive or an SSD?

[11:29] <dr_willis> Ive seen some of the archive tools support wild cards like  --->   unzip      '*.zip'
[11:29] <zho> Sidewinder1: it is HP Storageworks on HP Blade, conneced using FIbrechanel
[11:29] <dr_willis> the quotes passed the wildcards to the archiver. not the shell
[11:29] <ssta> he wants them unpacked to different directories I think?
[11:29] <zho> *connected
[11:30] <Sidewinder1> zho, I don't even know what that (Blade. Fibrechanel), is; sorry. :-(
[11:31] <zho> Sidewinder1: no problems
[11:32] <niels_> hey im looking for some help to get started with ubuntu development
[11:32] <Sidewinder1> zho, It won't mount (in Nautilus), at all, or just mounts as 'root'?
[11:32] <BetaArk> Can someone help me with creating Xorg file.. I get errors with the numbers of screens doesnt match the number ....
[11:32] <zho> Sidewinder1: i use it on ubuntu-server
[11:32] <zho> Sidewinder1: no nautius
[11:33] <mazda01> dr_willis, ah boy, looks like you may have just come thru again for me. LOL  BUT does it do BULK unpacking?
[11:33] <Sidewinder1> zho, Did you 'chown', it?
[11:33] <mazda01> dr_willis, will go check it out. THANKS
[11:33] <mazda01> Sidewinder1, you're not from Florida are you?
[11:33] <zho> Sidewinder1, how to chown it since, the /dev/ not shown
[11:33] <mazda01> Sidewinder1, lol, i know someone with your "handle" from florida
[11:34] <dr_willis> mazda01:  not sure what you mean by 'bulk'
[11:34] <Sidewinder1> mazda01, No, I'm not but have enjoyed my visits, there.
[11:35] <Sidewinder1> mazda01, And, you're exactly correct; it was my "handle", back in the CB days (the 70s).
[11:35] <dr_willis> Showing your age... :)
[11:36]  * Sidewinder1 Sighs..
[11:36] <Sidewinder1> Now, where's my cane and hearing aid?

[11:42] <mazda01> dr_willis, you must have missed my statement that I am a BASH N00B. trying to write a bash script or other to "bulk" unrar e rar sets
[11:43] <dr_willis> use find then.. :)

[11:53] <mazda01> ssta, i know SAP? what's your question about ERP's?
[11:53] <mazda01> dr_willis, THANKS, will check it. YOU da man
[11:54] <ssta> mazda01: I didn't have a question about erps.  It was an involuntary noise of surprise at the epople who can call themselves unix admins these days.  It's really not appropriate for this channel, so I won't expand on it
[11:54] <mazda01> rainbowwarrior, are you running compiz?
[11:55] <rainbowwarrior> not sure Mazda01
[11:55] <mazda01> ssta, ah, if you'd like to chat about something not appropriate for pubic, id be happy to join an adult conversation with ya privately, just send me a chat room join requeest
[11:55] <busybyeski> that brings a good point up
[11:55] <busybyeski> what is the equivalent to windows task manager in a cli?
[11:55] <busybyeski> what's a good unix command to show running processes
[11:55] <mazda01> rainbowwarrior, so to the best of your knowledge, you are running  a stock ubuntu 11.10 without any custimaztions?
[11:55] <dr_willis> busybyeski:  ps, top, htop
[11:56] <ssta> mazda01: probably belongs in #ununtu-offtopic, but it's all negative ranting, so there's probably no point.  THis place is supposed to be positive reinforcement only (or something)
[11:56] <rainbowwarrior> yes mazda01 i forgot to mention its 64 bit aswell
[11:56] <mazda01> busybyeski, I use ps or top
[11:56] <Sidewinder1> busybyeski, Or, perhaps, System Monitor.
[11:57] <ssta> busybyeski: what exactly do you want to know about running processes?
[11:57] <mazda01> ssta, lol, sounds good. i guess i was just curious what you ahd to say because I am changing careers and who knows that I may get myself into? LOL  starting with SBS w/exchange setup/admin BUT if I can take my IT company I am joining to new areans I would love to talk
[11:58] <ssta> mazda01: if you want to, then join #ubuntu-offtopic.
[11:58] <mazda01> rainbowwarrior, ok, and how often does flicker did you say?
[11:58] <mazda01> ssta, oh I do! I have to get coffee, use restroom and I am ready to chat professionally
[11:58] <mazda01> BRB

[11:59] <zho> 800x600?
[11:59] <rainbowwarrior> no never though of trying that zho
[12:00] <zho> rainbowwarror: what about changing the refresh rate > 59mhz
[12:00] <Sidewinder1> rainbowwarrior, It may be a suspend/hibernate issue?
[12:00] <mazda01> rainbowwarrior, ok, first please post the results of lspci -v as well as modprobe -l
[12:01] <mazda01> brb
[12:01] <ssta> rainbowwarrior: might be worth installing pastebinit.  The then you do: lspci -v|pastebinit

[12:13] <ikonia> andyn: if it's marked as triaged, it's already triaged
[12:13] <mazda01> rainbowwarrior, oh, then you'll need to issue this instead.  gunzip -c /var/log/dmesg.1.gz | grep NVIDIA
[12:14] <mazda01> rainbowwarrior, or instead of dmesg.1.gz, use dmesg.0.gz
[12:14] <andyn> triaged as in happily marked as such without doing anything?
[12:15] <ikonia> andyn: depends what it's involved in doing,
[12:15] <andyn> sounds like mr. iraqi information minister
[12:15] <ikonia> andyn: if you feel more needs doing, just do it
[12:16] <ikonia> andyn: leave the political insults at the door please.
[12:16] <rainbowwarrior> mazda01 i pasted the log to :- http://paste.ubuntu.com/774213/
[12:17] <andyn> well, posting relevant information in launchpad is the fastest way to get angry emails and your post deleted

[12:17] <ikonia> andyn: no it's not, if it's relevant and useful it's welcomed
[12:18] <mazda01> rainbowwarrior, nope, I want a dmesg output that has NVIDIA in it otherwise you're not using the correct module for your installed graphics card
[12:20] <rainbowwarrior> hmm maybe wrong module then since it is not saying NVIDIA in the dmesg , thank you for your help mazda01
[12:20] <mazda01> rainbowwarrior, anytime. my colledted knoweldge using ubuntu over 5 yeasr has made me be able to "pay it forward" to others who are joing the revolution. LOL
[12:21] <rainbowwarrior> lol :o)
[12:21] <mazda01> rainbowwarrior, i would say when you get the correct graphics module (which BTW is nvidia-current) you'll be golden and loving ubuntu again
[12:21] <mazda01> BTW, I hate unity. LOL

[12:35] <Zentaur> i'm a begginer so i feel really stupid :)

[12:41] <orated> I went through some of ubuntu forums and community pages on backup like https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem - Is there any utiluty which dd the complete HDD and pipes it to tart or other compression media from time to time? Does rsnapshot does the same using rsync? Why is rsync preferred over dd for backup?
[12:42] <ikonia> orated: have a little look at clonezilla
[12:42] <ikonia> orated: keep in mind backig up a whole system from the same machine that's in use isn't always a wise idea
[12:43] <orated> ikonia: Yes, that isn't but afaik dd doesn't do that (does it?)
[12:43] <ikonia> orated: does do what sorry ?
[12:43] <orated> I mean one can dd from Live mode
[12:44] <ikonia> orated: live mode - do you mean a running system, or from a livecd (enviornment) based system
[12:45] <orated> ikonia: I was replying to what you asked me to make note of. I got Ubuntu 11.10 installed and with a liveCD/USB I can dd the HDD containing the OS ... ?
[12:46] <Zentaur> hey! i mede it!
[12:46] <Zentaur> made it
[12:46] <cousin_luigi> ljuspunkt: interesting, I'll try that
[12:46] <orated> and maybe pipe it to tar and all that in a script
[12:46] <ikonia> orated: you could just use "copy" if you wanted, as block level backups are not always the best way, but dd/clonezilla/copy anything will work
[12:46] <Zentaur> i went to /us/bin
[12:46] <Zentaur> executed ccsm
[12:47] <orated> ikonia: block level backups as in?

[12:47] <zacarias> any help with this thread? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1896812

[12:52] <Giggaflop> hey, tried the forums, can't seem to find my answer. i have a laptop sat next to me, not abl to connect via wired, but can via wireless
[12:53] <Giggaflop> the wired NIC is a JMC250 Gigabit Lan Adapter
[12:53] <Giggaflop> revision 5
[12:54] <Giggaflop> the make/model of laptop is Clevo w251hu, and it was working, but since updating from 10.10, to 11.10 its broken down
[12:55] <ljuspunkt> cousin_luigi: i actually did not read the page and i don't use devilspie ... isn't it enough to put the daemon in your personal autostart or even the systemwide?
[12:56] <cousin_luigi> ljuspunkt: yes, but there are other apps in there and should they start before devilspie, I guess they wouldn't be iconified
[12:57] <Giggaflop> hmm :(
[12:57] <pranitbauva1997> can i have a java program to display menu
[12:57] <Giggaflop> lolwhut?
[12:58] <VCoolio> cousin_luigi: delay the other apps and you should be good, like: sleep 5 && firefox
[12:58] <theadmin> Giggaflop: From 10.10 to 11.10? No wonder it broke, updates on Ubuntu break *everything*, I wonder how on earth you survived updating from 10.10 to even 11.04
[12:58] <Giggaflop> it wasn't me that did it
[12:58] <Giggaflop> also, i tried a linux mint lave USB
[12:58] <Giggaflop> and that couldn't connect either D:
[12:59] <Giggaflop> i figured it was just an update issue
[12:59] <theadmin> Giggaflop: Oh, okay then, not the problem with this... Hm.
[12:59] <Giggaflop> tbh the systems held up really well dispite the upgrade :P
[12:59] <Giggaflop> its really confusing me this one, and i'm not really a noob, i run archlinux myself
[13:00] <Giggaflop> if you want more info just ask :3
[13:00] <pranitbauva1997> can u all visit my blog http://computerapplications1997.wordpress.com
[13:00] <pranitbauva1997> and comment on posts

[13:01] <Giggaflop> no
[13:01] <theadmin> Giggaflop: Archlinux? Stay with that. Best distro ever.
[13:01] <Giggaflop> thats just bad advertising
[13:01] <Giggaflop> theadmin, ++
[13:01] <Giggaflop> but its not for me
[13:01] <Giggaflop> it'd for my stepdad :(
[13:01] <Giggaflop> and he only just took the linux dive
[13:01] <theadmin> Giggaflop: Arch + XFCE + yaourt-gui :P
[13:01] <Giggaflop> so arch is a bit too advanced
[13:02] <Giggaflop> arch + g3 + yaourt-gui
[13:02] <theadmin> Giggaflop: gnome3 is confusing for windows users
[13:02] <Giggaflop> with the arch theme
[13:02] <Giggaflop> thats what i run!
[13:02] <Giggaflop> :P
[13:02] <Giggaflop> seperate machines
[13:02] <Giggaflop> his is ubuntu, mines arch

[13:11] <airtonix> theadmin: it is? i think you'll find windows is confusing for windows users
[13:12] <theadmin> airtonix: Sometimes indeed xD
[13:12] <airtonix> theadmin: no not sometimes, pretty much all the time.
[13:12] <conntrack> lol
[13:13] <peter-adfadfaj> What is the best way to transcode video to play on Android devices? I've tried some basic ffmpeg stuff which works, but the quality is less than YouTube videos. Has anyone got a preferred command, script or otherwise?
[13:13] <sulpheric> morning..anybody who could help me with a problem on LDAP?
[13:14] <case__> i'm having trouble with my panel opacity, using metacity, the latest ati drivers and xinerama in Ubuntu 11.10. Any pointers how to get transparancy working?
[13:14] <ikonia> case__: you're using xinerama with ati (dual head I'm sure)
[13:15] <case__> ikonia: yes, two monitors
[13:15] <ikonia> case__: very intersting, are they the closed sourced ati drivers ?
[13:15] <ikonia> case__: using xinerama always used to disable 3d capabilities on the cards (ati/nvidia) is 3d capabilities working for you
[13:15] <case__> ikonia: I made an Ubuntu package with the official ati installer
[13:15] <ikonia> or could that be part of the issue you are seeing ?
[13:15] <case__> ikonia: yes, Google earth is working
[13:16] <ikonia> case__: very interesting, is that the open or closed ati modules ?
[13:16] <case__> ikonia: I don't know if ati has shared the source code. I bet it's closed
[13:16] <ikonia> case__: there are open and closed modules - where did you get them
[13:17] <mongy> peter-adfadfaj, try arist
[13:17] <kvijayreddy10> oracle apache service  got deleted from services.msc on window 2000 server  , please help
[13:17] <mongy> peter-adfadfaj,  I mean arista
[13:17] <case__> ikonia: amd.com/ati
[13:17] <ikonia> case__: ah, the closed ones, still interesting to see you get 3d support with xinerama now
[13:17] <ikonia> case__: are you SURE your using xinerama and not the ati dual head tools ?
[13:17] <iceman45> hello
[13:18] <peter-adfadfaj> Thanks mongy, looking at it again...
[13:18] <case__> ikonia: yes, xinerama is enabled in my xorg.conf
[13:18] <ikonia> case__: could I have a look (pastebin it please) ?
[13:18] <case__> ikonia: sure, hangon
[13:18] <mongy> peter-adfadfaj, as for ffmpeg, you need to give it the right settings.   did you set the bitrate and video codec to use?
[13:19] <iceman45> how can i fully download and install all codecs required for all sorts of multimedia easily/automatically
[13:19] <ikonia> case__: sorry, just curious as this is a good change in capabilities
[13:19] <Giggaflop> iceman45, medibuntu
[13:20] <peter-adfadfaj> mongy, this is what I'm confused about.
[13:20] <iceman45> Giggaflop, i tried that but after i downloaded and installed it, it didnt work (do i have to restart thre pc ?
[13:20]  * conntrack roll on the floor laughing
[13:20] <Giggaflop> you downloade all of the medibuntu repo?
[13:20] <case__> ikonia: http://pastebin.com/u6vNgKLn
[13:20] <mongy> peter-adfadfaj, go with arista, I think it might even use ffmpeg but is a nice gui
[13:20] <Giggaflop> O_O
[13:20] <Giggaflop> how do you have a HDD left?
[13:21] <iceman45> Giggaflop, yes
[13:21] <ikonia> case__: thanks
[13:21] <Giggaflop> you sure you didn't jsut add them :P
[13:21] <Starman83> hey guys, ever since I've updated to Kernel 3.x I've got poor Samba performance. Anyone else experiencing this problem? If I boot into an older 2.6 kernel, the problem goes away
[13:21] <Giggaflop> you have to find the codecs you need
[13:21] <Giggaflop> and install them
[13:21] <Starman83> 3.x kernel ~ 5 mb/s, 2.6 kernel ~ 20 mb/s
[13:21] <iceman45> each one maually Giggaflop ?
[13:22] <Giggaflop> well
[13:22] <Giggaflop> gstreamer-good, gstreamer-bad, gstreamer-ugly
[13:22] <Giggaflop> then if you want DVD playback, libdvdcss2
[13:22] <case__> ikonia: the composite enabled could be the problem that opacity is not working, as it has no effect/is broken with xinerama
[13:22] <case__> ikonia: that's my best guess
[13:22] <ikonia> case__: a reasonable guess
[13:23] <CQ> can I jump from maverick to oneiric, or do I need to go via natty?
[13:23] <ikonia> case__: just give me a minute to finish reading
[13:23] <iceman45> Giggaflop, isnt there a command that would do all the job automatically ?
[13:23] <iceman45> or package ?
[13:23] <case__> ikonia: take your time, i'm watching BreakingBad S04 ;)
[13:23] <Giggaflop> dunno iceman45 i don't use ubuntu
[13:23] <Giggaflop> :P
[13:24] <ikonia> case__: ok - so your config as a comcept looks spot on for what you are describing
[13:24] <ikonia> concept even
[13:25] <nansi> hello
[13:25] <ikonia> case__: out of interest do you get 3d support on both monitors or just one
[13:25] <nansi> hi
[13:25] <nansi> slt
[13:25] <case__> ikonia: don't know, let me check
[13:25] <case__> ikonia: yeah, both
[13:26] <ikonia> case__: ok, I'm shocked (but nicley shocked) by that, looks like ati/xinerama made a good jump
[13:26] <ikonia> case__: is the transparancy a problem on both screens, or just one
[13:27] <case__> ikonia: I don't know how to put the panel on the other monitor
[13:27] <mazda01> case__, which ATI card is it?
[13:27] <case__> mazda01: it's a HD 4850
[13:27] <ikonia> case__: ahhh unity, of course, didn't think that through
[13:28] <mazda01> case__, awesome, so you got duel monitors working with 3d accleration?
[13:28] <sulpheric> question on ldap..how do I make a backend config ldif from a existing server
[13:28] <case__> mazda01: yep!
[13:28] <iceroot> sulpheric: #slapd or #openldap
[13:29] <tx909> hi pinurocks, its tx909
[13:29] <mazda01> case__, and that's with the closed source code from ati's website? which Ubuntu version?
[13:29] <tx909> dont mention any original names ok
[13:29] <iceroot> sulpheric: put if you only want a complete dump use "slapcat > backup.ldif"
[13:29] <mazda01> case__, which desktop manager?
[13:29] <case__> mazda01: yes, I used ati-driver-installer-11-12-x86.x86_64.run to build Ubuntu/11.10 packages
[13:29] <tx909> pinurocks dont mention any real names ok
[13:30] <case__> oneiric
[13:30] <sulpheric> iceroot: yeah I get that one. the problem is that I need to add a new syncrep consumer to an existing environment...some jerk in the office removed my configuration files so I have to build out of the existing ldap
[13:30] <cousin_luigi> VCoolio: are apps inside autostart launched in sequence or in parallel?
[13:30] <resonantsky> hey
[13:30] <sulpheric> not a problem with old style LDAP, but new style is a bit..mind boggling
[13:30] <case__> mazda01: I think it's called metacity?
[13:30] <cousin_luigi> ljuspunkt: that might be an option, but I'd rather not touch the innards of the OS if I can avoid it.
[13:31] <iceroot> sulpheric: #slapd or #openldap
[13:31] <mazda01> case__, the default one that comes with Ubuntu 11.10? metacity is the window manager. You using Gnome?
[13:31] <sulpheric> ok thx
[13:31] <resonantsky> can anyone give me a hand, i have some strange locking on my ubuntu session when working with files, compiz/unity etc freeze when I try to make/delete files/directories...
[13:31] <case__> mazda01: ah yes, Gnome
[13:32] <resonantsky> i think its some kind of su/gksu sudo problem
[13:32] <mazda01> case__, this is wonderful news to me! I gave up duel displays back in lucid lynx and that was with an Nvidia card and trying to get compiz and stuff like google earth working. now knowing it works with an ATI card? HUGE
[13:32] <alpha-aquilae> Do you know any virtual sound board (like http://bit.ly/uN3CNk ) running under ubuntu?
[13:32] <tx909> ;
[13:33] <mazda01> case__, this is with Unity also?
[13:33] <case__> mazda01: ah :) Well compiz isn't working because it's giving an error that the composite plugin isn't loaded
[13:33] <ikonia> case__: there are a few bugs logged against xorg and certain ati module versions regarding compoisiting support
[13:33] <compapps_> please visit my blog http://computerapplications1997.wordpress.com
[13:33] <ikonia> compapps_: pleae don't spam
[13:33] <case__> mazda01: haven't tried Unity yet
[13:34] <case__> ikonia: ok
[13:34] <VCoolio> cousin_luigi: parallel I think, but you could write your own sequence in a script and put only that in autostart to make sure devilspie starts before the rest
[13:34] <mazda01> case__, ah, ok. i could care less about compiz to be honest. don't need the flashy stuff BUT google earth is awesome!
[13:34] <tx909> yo compapps
[13:34] <ikonia> case__: ubuntu 11.10 is unity
[13:34] <resonantsky> anyone? it seems whenever i try to make a directory or delete a file that my GUI locks up and i have to use a vty to restart it
[13:34] <mazda01> case__, oh, so you're using 11.10 something other then unity?
[13:34] <case__> mazda01: what ikonia said :)
[13:34] <mazda01> case__, yea, what ikonia said
[13:34] <mazda01> case__, lol
[13:34] <tx909> if u want to talk to someone in particular, mention the nickname and that sentence will be highlighted compapps
[13:34] <mazda01> case__, i hate unity but that's just my personal pref
[13:34] <ikonia> case__: looking at some of the bug reports, it does suggest similar symptoms and issue as what you are describing
[13:35] <case__> ikonia: hmm allright
[13:35] <mazda01> case__, i could let it grow on me as I have Ubuntu over the last 5 years. don't need MS anymore. LOL
[13:35] <ikonia> case__: just having a little more in depth look
[13:35] <tx909> compapps this is the same as xchat
[13:35] <tx909> are u following me compapps?
[13:35] <ikonia> mazda01: we don't need this converation in #ubuntu - it's a support channel, pleae keep that for #ubuntu-offtopic
[13:35] <genoobie> hey everybody
[13:35] <case__> mazda01: geh, I switched about a week ago from Windows7. It's still active in my grub options
[13:35] <genoobie> I'm using pcman
[13:36] <case__> ikonia: thanks
[13:36] <genoobie> but I have  a network drive and I also have a ton of pics that I'd like to be able to see thumbnails
[13:36] <genoobie> doesn't seem like pcman is very good at this
[13:36] <mazda01> case__, aweseome for you
[13:36] <genoobie> are there other filemanagers that don't require gnome / kde but have that functionality
[13:37] <case__> mazda01: the reason was that i had to work with an Apple macbook pro for work btw
[13:37] <ikonia> case__: the bugs appear to be across distributions and linked to the xorg/ati interactions with new gnome3 design
[13:37] <ikonia> case__: there are older bugs for gnome2 but they appear to be fixible to an extent
[13:37] <case__> mazda01: which made me realize I needed a good shell :)
[13:37] <mazda01> case__, ah, makes sense
[13:37] <ljuspunkt> cousin_luigi: it isn't that dangerous since the rc.local-file is meant to start stuff which isn't covered by the normal startscript-procedure. The only thing you have to remember is that you used this file, it should be empty on a standard installation
[13:37] <mazda01> case__, I have plenty of VM's (Oracles running Vbox) in my ubuntu machines for windows and osx
[13:37] <resonantsky> oh well :)
[13:38] <resonantsky> maybe ikonia can help me...
[13:38] <case__> ikonia: are those bugs still active? Is someone looking at them?
[13:38] <resonantsky> when he/she is done with everyone else ;)
[13:38] <ikonia> guys - this is a support channel, please take the stories to #ubuntu-offtopic
[13:38] <ikonia> case__: they are, however keep in mind that the ati component is closed source,
[13:38] <case__> ikonia: I see
[13:38] <mazda01> ikonia, sorry
[13:38] <mazda01> case__, if you want to chat im over there in #ubuntu-offtopic
[13:38] <ikonia> case__: xorg appears to have set out an interaction api for xinerama and duel headed configs, it looks like some of the changes/interactions just haven't caught up/been made yet
[13:39] <genoobie> dolphin?
[13:39] <case__> mazda01: my daughter just woke up :) So I have to go
[13:39] <mazda01> case__, LOL, take care
[13:39] <mazda01> case__, i am dannyboy79 on ubuntuforums.org
[13:40] <case__> mazda01: ok! I don't have an account yet
[13:40] <mazda01> case__, if you want help and not live help, get an account. just my opinion
[13:40] <resonantsky> ikonia, can you?
[13:41] <mazda01> case__, it's helpful for those support questions where you don't need it immediatly, so you can post a thread and leave. when you come back most likely it's answered
[13:41] <ikonia> resonantsky: can I what ?
[13:41] <resonantsky> ikonia: help me out?
[13:41] <ikonia> resonantsky: no idea, what's the issue ?
[13:41] <resonantsky> using unity my gui locks up when manipulating files/directories, i think its a file ownership/rights issue
[13:42] <ikonia> resonantsky: that's odd
[13:42] <resonantsky> when using gnome-fallback its ok
[13:42] <ikonia> resonantsky: can you give me an example
[13:42] <ikonia> resonantsky: what file are you trying to modify and how ?
[13:42] <resonantsky> ikonia: i'm using thunar/nautilus to edit a file or remove it, and the system locks, i have to use a vty to login and htop to kill compiz/unity and then it works
[13:42] <dinar_> hello. i had upgraded ubuntu 9 10 to 10 04 and that installation maybe was hacked. now i have made fresh installation. and see differences. and i see that in old installation was linux 2.6.32-37  but in new it is only 2.6.32-36  .  can it be so?  i have checked with main repository in new installation , but it is ...-36.   may be that 37 th version was there but then was canceled?
[13:42] <resonantsky> ikonia: the actual file operation succeeds... but it locks up every time.
[13:43] <resonantsky> ikonia: same happens when using a term to rmdir/rm mv etc
[13:43] <ikonia> dinar_: sounds like you had the experimental/proposed repo enabled
[13:43] <ikonia> resonantsky: is it any file or just certain files
[13:43] <resonantsky> ikona - any file and any directory, even creating directories, it freezes when i try to name the directory
[13:43] <resonantsky> ikonia: any file
[13:43] <ikonia> resonantsky: ok, if I ask you to do a test with me now, can you do that ?
[13:44] <resonantsky> ikonia: sure thing :]
[13:44] <dinar_> ikonia, thank you, indeed , there were proposed updates in old install
[13:44] <ikonia> resonantsky: ok - open a terminal and enter your home drive
[13:44] <resonantsky> ikonia: thanks :]
[13:44] <ikonia> resonantsky: home directory sorry
[13:44] <resonantsky> ikonia: ready
[13:44] <ikonia> resonantsky: ok - can you pastebin the output of "ls -la" for me in that directory
[13:45] <resonantsky> ikonia: i think i found it here, the problem
[13:45] <ikonia> resonantsky: ok, do tell
[13:45] <resonantsky> ikonia: i will pastebin if wrong
[13:45] <resonantsky> ikonia: my username is 'codex' the group i am in for many of the dirs/files is 1001
[13:46] <resonantsky> ikonia: some others are 'codex' as group, some are 'root' as group
[13:46] <ikonia> resonantsky: ok, so it looks like that group has been removed (whatever 1001 was)
[13:46] <ikonia> resonantsky: root isn't good in your home directory
[13:46] <user1> i dont know WTF Is wrong with flash players. as soon as i open a youtube video or any streaming flash ( may also be a animationof news website ) the cpu overloads to 100% and machine stops. occurs both on windows and ubuntu. why?
[13:46] <ikonia> resonantsky: the missing group 1001 also isn't good
[13:46] <resonantsky> ikonia: sometimes i sudo to create files, i will try to keep those sudo'ed files elsewhere...
[13:46] <ikonia> user1: tone down the language please
[13:46] <conntrack> ha!
[13:46] <ikonia> resonantsky: ok - lets do a tidy up
[13:47] <resonantsky> ikonia: ok :)
[13:47] <ikonia> resonantsky: can you paste in the channel the output of the comannd "id"
[13:47] <resonantsky> uid=1000(codex) gid=1000(codex) groups=1000(codex),0(root),4(adm),20(dialout),24(cdrom),27(sudo),29(audio),44(video),46(plugdev),116(lpadmin),118(admin),119(pulse),120(pulse-access),124(sambashare)
[13:47] <user1> ikonia: will do only on getting resolution
[13:47] <froes> hi guys. is ubuntu able to do software raid ? like zfs or something ?
[13:47] <ikonia> user1: no - you'll tone it down or leave the channel
[13:48] <ikonia> froes: zfs isn't raid
[13:48] <ikonia> froes: ubuntu can do software raid though
[13:48] <user1> ikonia: ok rephrasing it - i dont know WTS Is wrong with flash players. as soon as i open a youtube video or any streaming flash ( may also be a animationof news website ) the cpu overloads to 100% and machine stops. occurs both on windows and ubuntu. why?
[13:48] <ikonia> resonantsky: do "sudo chown -R codex:codex /home/codex"
[13:48] <ikonia> user1: WTS ?
[13:48] <user1> ikonia: not needed for you
[13:48] <resonantsky> ikonia: aahh thats the mistake i made :)
[13:49] <ikonia> user1: I've sent you a pm - please repond before continuing to use the channel
[13:50] <resonantsky> ikonia: i get permission denid on a file called /home/codex/.gvfs
[13:50] <ikonia> resonantsky: once you've done that "sudo chmod -R 755 /home/codex"
[13:50] <arlo> hello, im trying to install ubuntu i gets thats error on installation unable to open /dev/sda
[13:50] <ikonia> resonantsky: don't worry about .gvfs, rebooting will clear that up
[13:50] <user1> ikonia: ok rephrasing it - i dont know what Is wrong with flash players. as soon as i open a youtube video or any streaming flash ( may also be a animationof news website ) the cpu overloads to 100% and machine stops. occurs both on windows and ubuntu. why?
[13:51] <resonantsky> ikonia: ahh the directory structure looks much better... my console colours also have less red in them ;)
[13:51] <ikonia> resonantsky: understandibly
[13:51] <ikonia> resonantsky: ok, now lets do a quick test
[13:51] <ikonia> resonantsky: do the command "touch ikonia"
[13:51] <ikonia> resonantsky: you should have a file called ikonia
[13:51] <ikonia> resonantsky: did it freeze ?
[13:52] <resonantsky> yep
[13:52] <ikonia> resonantsky: it did freeze ?
[13:52] <resonantsky> ikonia: yes it frooze
[13:52] <arlo> hello, im trying to install ubuntu i gets thats error on installation unable to open /dev/sda anyone can help me?
[13:52] <arlo> im new to ubuntu
[13:52] <ikonia> resonantsky: ok - and that was in the terminal
[13:52] <resonantsky> ikonia: i had to crtl+alt+f2 and htop , now my unity panel etc is gone
[13:53] <resonantsky> ikonia: if it freezes again i'm going to have to log, the file ikonia exists
[13:53] <Giggaflop> http://www.myfacewhen.com/399/
[13:53] <ikonia> resonantsky: so the whole machine isn't freezing, just the desktop
[13:53] <ikonia> Giggaflop: please don't spam
[13:53] <resonantsky> ikonia: yep exactly
[13:53] <ikonia> resonantsky: ok - so lets go back a little more basic
[13:53] <ikonia> resonantsky: can you disable compiz/desktop effects
[13:53] <resonantsky> ikonia: ok
[13:54] <mazda01> ikonia, are you buy chance from dallas? maybe france?
[13:54] <resonantsky> ikonia: probably not without rebooting
[13:54] <mazda01> ikonia, buy = by
[13:54] <resonantsky> ikonia: untiy --replace?
[13:54] <ikonia> mazda01: I've told you the topic of this channel
[13:54] <paolonibus> ciaoooo
[13:54] <ikonia> resonantsky: ok - do a reboot and disable any desktop effects you have enabled
[13:54] <ikonia> resonantsky: (keep in mind I don't know what you have enabled since install, so I'm being a little generic)
[13:55] <resonantsky> ikonia:  i can promise you it has to do with compiz
[13:55] <resonantsky> ikonia: because using gnome-fallback or xfce session i don't get the problem
[13:55] <ikonia> resonantsky: I don't doubt you, that's why I'm saying lets strip it back a little
[13:55] <mazda01> ikonia, LOL, you're right. YOU HAVE. take care bud, im know what's going on. im not stupid despite what you THINK  you know about me
[13:55] <ikonia> resonantsky: what video card do you have ?
[13:55] <mazda01> ikonia, have a nice day
[13:55] <resonantsky> ikonia: its an old intel gma 950
[13:55] <ikonia> resonantsky: Hmm, they normally have quite good support
[13:56] <resonantsky> ikonia: i don't think its drivers, could it be some kind of compiz directory issue, seeing as .compiz-1 exists in that directory...
[13:56] <ikonia> resonantsky: doubt it's a directory issue
[13:56] <mazda01> ikonia, federal charges can be sought if I wanted to pursue this. last comment. you have nice day
[13:56] <resonantsky> ikonia: so would you like me to now log and rejoin after disabling compiz?
[13:57] <resonantsky> ikonia: let me do that...
[13:57] <resonantsky> ikonia: brb
[13:57] <ikonia> resonantsky: take your time
[13:57] <arlo> hello, im trying to install ubuntu i gets thats error on installation unable to open /dev/sda anyone can help me - im new to ubuntu.
[13:59] <Snii> There is a feature in Ubuntu where I can select programs that will autorun on login. Is it possible to change these items from the console/some file? I cannot log in to my system anymore.
[13:59] <user1> repost - i dont know what Is wrong with flash players. as soon as i open a youtube video or any streaming flash ( may also be a animationof news website ) the cpu overloads to 100% and machine stops. occurs both on windows and ubuntu. why?
[13:59] <resonantsky> ikonia: ok, no more compiz... gnome-fallback, although unity is still running because of my startup scripts... it doesn't load automatically
[14:00] <resonantsky> ikonia: let me know when we can continue :]
[14:00] <ikonia> resonantsky: ok, same test touch ikonia-1
[14:00] <inashdeen> hi, is there any freelance programmer around interested to build a new linux shell? I would love to speak to them if any
[14:00] <resonantsky> ikonia: no problem, file is created, no freezing
[14:00] <user1> inashdeen: yes
[14:00] <oCean> inashdeen: that's offtopic here
[14:00] <ikonia> inashdeen: please don't advertise in this cahnnel
[14:00] <krieg1> rofl
[14:01] <inashdeen> ok sorry, will move to offtopic
[14:01] <ikonia> resonantsky: ok, so you appear to be in the ball park on your reasoning
[14:01] <user1> inashdeen: please ping me. i am interested
[14:01] <ikonia> resonantsky: can you reboot back into unity again with 3d support
[14:01] <Kurdistan> hi. which fonts are ubuntu using by default?
[14:01] <inashdeen> done :)
[14:01] <resonantsky> ikonia: i'm not a bad batter, but i'm better  at outfielding...
[14:01] <resonantsky> ikonia: brb ;)
[14:01] <Kurdistan> my xubuntu 11.10 fonts looks bad with firefox/chrome
[14:02] <majnoon> anyone have experience with  bttv  cards (analog) tv/radio ??
[14:02] <n4dsp> I know I can go to www.help.ubuntu and download the User's Guide that show some commands like 'apt-get' BUT is there a book that shows commands by learn by doing?
[14:03] <resonantsky> ikonia: and then? :]
[14:03] <ikonia> resonantsky: back in unity ?
[14:03] <resonantsky> ikonia: back in unity+compiz... wobbly windows enabled :s
[14:04] <resonantsky> ikonia: damn those wobbly windows... one you start with them...
[14:04] <ikonia> resonantsky: ok - can you get rid of all the effects like wobbly windows, strip it down as far as it goes
[14:04] <VCoolio> Snii: those are in ~/.config/autostart
[14:04] <resonantsky> ikonia: just the 'general' checkboxes then?
[14:04] <ikonia> resonantsky: as little as you can
[14:04] <ikonia> resonantsky: trying to see if it's compiz at the root or one of the effects
[14:05] <resonantsky> ikonia: 'file watcher?'
[14:05] <resonantsky> ikonia: was enabled
[14:05] <ikonia> resonantsky: (shamefully) I don't know what that plugin is, so I'll say yes, blanket
[14:05] <Kurdistan> any one setting on ubuntu and can look up the default fonts it uses?
[14:05] <resonantsky> ikonia: your helping for sure
[14:05] <ikonia> resonantsky: get rid of as much as possible
[14:05] <ikonia> resonantsky: then we can work forward
[14:06] <Kurdistan> I find my answer on askubuntu.
[14:06] <resonantsky> ikonia: i'll disable all hang on
[14:06] <resonantsky> ikonia: its a mission because unity just crashed and all
[14:06] <ikonia> resonantsky: I know it's frustrating
[14:07] <resonantsky> ikonia: frustrated? i worked in IT support for 7 years... i know the feeling
[14:07] <resonantsky> ikonia: this'll take a couple minutes, thanks for your help
[14:07] <sonuvthomas> i m  using ubuntu 10.04 how to reinstall grub from live cd
[14:07] <ikonia> resonantsky: I'm going nowhere
[14:07] <iceroot> !grub | sonuvthomas
[14:08] <sonuvthomas> k
[14:08] <sonuvthomas> thanks
[14:08] <resonantsky> ikonia: cssm now closes if i try to uncheck anything more
[14:08] <ManDay> How would I transparently mount a directory (which itsself is not a mountpoint) somewhere?
[14:08] <resonantsky> ikonia: it also doesn't uncheck any more options
[14:08] <ikonia> resonantsky: close as in "exit crash" or close as in " all is done, I'm closing"
[14:09] <resonantsky> ikonia: it doesn't say anything on the terminal running it, the last line of output is 'initializing vpswitch options...done'
[14:09] <ikonia> resonantsky: ok, lets re-run the test
[14:10] <if> grrr
[14:10] <if> ;)
[14:10] <resonantsky> ikonia: touch ikonia works with no issues... i think its one of the settings under 'utility'
[14:10] <ikonia> resonantsky: can you remove ikonia
[14:10] <resonantsky> ikonia: done
[14:11] <resonantsky> ikonia: let me enable 'file watcher' under utilities and see if its causing the issue
[14:11] <ikonia> resonantsky: ok - so we are now in a much small but more tedious ball park
[14:11] <ikonia> resonantsky: that's the idea, one at a time (only ever having one enabled) go through them
[14:11] <ikonia> resonantsky: then if that's all clear, move through it one at a time adding a new one each time
[14:11] <ikonia> resonantsky: so you end up with 1+1+1+1+1+1
[14:11] <ikonia> where as the first test is 1-1+1-1+1
[14:11] <ManDay> (nvm my question)
[14:12] <resonantsky> ikonia: ok :) i think i can continue helping myself with this...
[14:12] <resonantsky> ikonia: thanks a bunch :)
[14:12] <ikonia> resonantsky: yeah, you see where I am going
[14:12] <Snii> VCoolio: thanks, that helped :)
[14:12] <resonantsky> ikonia: know a good compiz manpage?
[14:12] <ikonia> resonantsky: there used to be a good wiki page
[14:13] <resonantsky> ikonia: its cool i'll google it...
[14:13] <ikonia> !ccsm
[14:16] <n4dsp> Is there a book that teaches the commands by learning by doing?
[14:16] <BluesKaj> Hey all
[14:17] <n4dsp> I will ask later
[14:18] <resonantsky> ah, thats better...
[14:18] <resonantsky> ikonia: all better... loaded compiz defaults
[14:18] <ikonia> resonantsky: nice idea
[14:18] <ikonia> resonantsky: defaults are normally fallsafe
[14:19] <resonantsky> ikonia: i think it was the D-bus...
[14:19] <ikonia> resonantsky: really, what do you think that ?
[14:19] <resonantsky> ikonia: its off now, a D-bus utility plugin... because its the one that was enabled, which is now disabled that I couldn't disable without the window closing
[14:20] <ikonia> resonantsky: ahh the dbus plugin, rather than dbugs
[14:20] <ikonia> dbus
[14:20] <ikonia> resonantsky: that is possible
[14:21] <resonantsky> ikonia: i just keep realizing the more i do in linux out of ignorance the more problems i create for myself... default settings are good for something ;)
[14:21] <oneliner> hello there i can boot from live cd without any problems and conclude installation successfuly but cannot boot the system afterward
[14:21] <zatan> Hi, is there anyway that i can restart ubuntu, but keep my all windows opened as it was before ?
[14:21] <ikonia> resonantsky: they are not a bad place to start, and always a good place to fall back to
[14:21] <resonantsky> ikonia: definately ;]
[14:21] <dr_willis> zatan:  there used to bea 'save session' features.. but it had issues..
[14:22] <resonantsky> ikonia: thanks again mate!
[14:22] <dr_willis> zatan:  not even sure where the setting is at in gnome any more
[14:22] <bahr> Has anybody experienced small consistent "breaks" while streaming .pls files with banshee, vlc. etc? I'm listening to Digitally Imported, and the stream makes a break every 1-2 minute or so
[14:22] <zatan> dr_willis, thanks i will check on google
[14:22] <oneliner> i believe it can be two things, video drivers (nvidia gtx 550 ti) and a gpt partition (2tb drive), any one wants to give me some pointers id appreciate
[14:22] <ikonia> resonantsky: any time
[14:23] <Sidewinder1> Mornin' BluesKaj
[14:24] <magesing> Hi everyone, I am trying to make a bootable ubuntu USB stick using http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download, however, I am running debian and not ubuntu, so I do not have the startup disk creator utility... How do I correctly configure grub on a usb key to boot the live ubuntu distribution?
[14:24] <BluesKaj> hi Sidewinder1
[14:24] <menak> hi
[14:24] <menak> i
[14:24] <resonantsky> ikonia: one last thing, when using chown is it imperative to include the user group (user:group) ? before I just used the username...
[14:25] <ikonia> resonantsky: it's "better" to do both, but the group can be excluded
[14:25] <ikonia> resonantsky: just good practice
[14:25] <resonantsky> ikonia: it fixed my folders proper, i had just used the username before and it was a little different
[14:26] <Acorn> What's the best way to switch to the chromium beta channel on ubuntu?
[14:26] <resonantsky> ikonia: for instance now i own my .wine directory when before it belonged to root and i couldn't change it... is there some precedence when including the usergroup in that sense?
[14:27] <oneliner> sorry if this looks like trolling but i realised the two separate statements where hard to read>> hello there i can boot from live cd without any problems and conclude installation successfuly but cannot boot the system afterward i believe it can be two things, video drivers (nvidia gtx 550 ti) and a gpt partition (2tb drive), any one wants to give me some pointers id appreciate
[14:27] <ikonia> resonantsky: again - that should be$user:$group
[14:27] <Sidewinder1> Acorn, Just /join the channel-that-you-want..
[14:27] <ikonia> resonantsky: from a file system point of view, root is just another user
[14:27] <przemysaw> hi
[14:27] <Acorn> Sidewinder1: haha, not irc channel, the build channel of the program, ie. stable/beta/dev/canary
[14:28] <resonantsky> ikonia: yep, in this case including the group made it permissable to change those rights... which is most important,
[14:28] <Sidewinder1> Acorn, Oops, sorry.. :D
[14:28] <ikonia> resonantsky: good good, try to keep with that good practice if you can
[14:28] <resonantsky> ikonia: will do :]
[14:29] <eve_> где я ?
[14:30] <icq> hey guys
[14:30] <cousin_luigi> Is there a way to have certain folders not indexed for the dash menu?
[14:30] <icq> I just upgraded to ubuntu 11.10
[14:30] <icq> and for some reason the x server is not running
[14:30] <icq> and I get this problem watching the log:
[14:31] <icq> ddxSigGiveUp: Closing log
[14:31] <opticlove> where can i read the system logs on the last shutdown?
[14:31] <icq> any idea about it?
[14:33] <iceroot> opticlove: /var/log/syslog
[14:34] <iceroot> icq: any output from "sudo service gdm start"?
[14:34] <iceroot> icq: any output from "sudo service lightdm start"?
[14:34] <icq> iceroot, the weird thing is that I just tried startx and it worked
[14:34] <conntrack> tut, tut, tut all the technology
[14:34] <icq> iceroot, gimme a minute I'll restart and have a look again
[14:36] <icq> iceroot, service gdm start does not say anything important
[14:36] <arlo> hello im try to install ubuntu it says unable to open /dev/da ?
[14:37] <icq> just that it started the process
[14:37] <arlo> dev/sda ?
[14:37] <Gerges> hey
[14:37] <arlo> yes no
[14:38] <arlo> its loading
[14:38] <arlo> and i click esc i can see error there
[14:38] <icq> and lightdm it is not a recognized service
[14:39] <przemysaw> Hello, jest tu ktoś z Polski?
[14:39] <xiexie> hi folks
[14:39] <ActionParsnip> !pl
[14:40] <xiexie> could anyone hel me the link where I could find security features go with version, e.g. NX go with Ubuntu version xxx?
[14:40] <xiexie> *help
[14:40] <Radith> Wooy
[14:41] <ActionParsnip> xiexie: you could look at the changelog on launchpad I guess
[14:41] <opticlove> is there a way to see the messages that appear when shutting down?
[14:41] <Gerbes> like
[14:41] <ActionParsnip> opticlove: maybe press ESC to make plymouth vanish
[14:41] <xiexie> ActionParsnip: okay, this one is better, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Security/Features/Historical
[14:44] <the_cyber_guy> some how i am unable to change icon theme and gtk theme on gnome 3 shell with onieric. what has could've gone wrong ?
[14:44] <jdavidboyd> I installed ubuntu 11.10 on my acer netbook, and it worked fine.  But the network (wireless) keeps going away.  By which I mean that even though ubuntu says it is connected, nothing transfers, and web browsers and pings time out.  But ubuntu says the network is there, and connected at full speed.  Is there a hidden firewall somewhere I need to find?  And, sometimes it works.  Is this a buggy windows-type machine being the problem?
[14:45] <ActionParsnip> the_cyber_guy: use gnome-tweak-tool
[14:45] <ActionParsnip> jdavidboyd: can you ping <IP_ADDRESS> over the wifi?
[14:45] <the_cyber_guy> ActionParsnip: i am but still nothing happening. a while back everything was working fine
[14:46] <ActionParsnip> the_cyber_guy: or you can use dconf-editor
[14:46] <the_cyber_guy> ActionParsnip: i think i have once ran gnome-tweak-tool with root permission. could it be the reason ?
[14:46] <bastidrazor> dconf-editor or gconf-editor?
[14:46] <Gerbes> any cool softwares to customize ubuntu ?
[14:46] <ActionParsnip> the_cyber_guy: running it as root will change roots icon theme.....
[14:47] <ActionParsnip> Gerbes: what do you want to change?
[14:47] <the_cyber_guy> ActionParsnip: yes, but now even normal user themes are now gone. i m trying with gconf-editor now
[14:47] <oneliner> hey guys am really stomped on this one, i cant find a viable reason for this machine not to work properly, spanking new and boots live cd perfectly, but the installation never boots, anyone willing to give me a hand_
[14:47] <Gerbes> there was something that made the windows shake and so on
[14:48] <ActionParsnip> oneliner: what happens when you try to boot
[14:48] <ActionParsnip> Gerbes: install compizconfig-settings-manager  and enable wobbly windows
[14:48] <jdavidboyd> ActionParsnip: nah, ping <IP_ADDRESS> times out.
[14:49] <ActionParsnip> jdavidboyd: what wireless chip do you use?
[14:49] <oneliner> boot sequence seems to run properly, but it stops at the mauve colored screen, never gets to the splash screen and can go to any of the tty terminals nor get a cursor on screen
[14:50] <oneliner> ActionParsnip: i have two possible sources of culprit ,, one nvidia drivers for gtx 550 ti card, another, gpt partition (have efi compliant motherboard)
[14:50] <jdavidboyd> ActionParsnip: don't know how to tell without booting back into windows.   Ubuntu is using the ath9k driver.
[14:50] <ActionParsnip> oneliner: log in to unity2D and you can setup 3D accelleration if you need proprietary driver
[14:51] <ActionParsnip> jdavidboyd: run:  sudo lshw -C network    and it will tell you
[14:52] <ActionParsnip> oneliner: add the boot option:  nouveau.blacklist=1
[14:53] <oneliner> ActionParsnip: sorry lost me at log into unity2d
[14:53] <oneliner> ohh wait, reboot the live cd and tap any key while loading?
[14:53] <ActionParsnip> oneliner: if you don'y have 3D accelleration then unity won't run. You can log in to unity2D and it will run on any hardware
[14:54] <newguy> How do you get a camera on ubuntu working, what app. and stuff for like tinychat  and facebook
[14:55] <ActionParsnip> newguy: does it work in cheese?
[14:55] <newguy> whats cheese
[14:55] <theadmin> newguy: Um, you need Flash
[14:55] <ActionParsnip> !info cheese
[14:55] <ActionParsnip> newguy: if it works in cheese then the driver is already loaded
[14:55] <newguy> i need something that installs to the whole OS. so you can use any program
[14:55] <SuprEngr> In case anyone hasn't realised yet:  http://developers.slashdot.org/story/11/12/18/1425230/canonical-to-remove-sun-java-from-repositories-users-machines?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Slashdot%2Fslashdot+%28Slashdot%29
[14:55] <oneliner> sorry ActionParsnip please explain procedure for logging into unity 2d
[14:56] <theadmin> newguy: I tell you, to use the camera in browsers you likely need Flash
[14:56] <ActionParsnip> oneliner: its an option when you login
[14:56] <jdavidboyd> ActionParsnip: It says AR9285 Wureless Network Adapter
[14:56] <newguy> okwhat about avg antivirus, does it run in background on linux cause it named a list of tools
[14:56] <oneliner> erm, am confused, i cant loging, cant boot, do you mean live cd?
[14:56] <ActionParsnip> newguy: the default install installs a great deal, you can install apps as you desire in software centre
[14:56] <ActionParsnip> !av | newguy
[14:57] <oneliner> i was expecting i could try to chroot the install from live cd and install drivers permanently on system from there
[14:57] <ActionParsnip> !bootoptions | oneliner
[14:58] <ActionParsnip> oneliner: some nvidia chips don't like nouveau driver, so you can blacklist it with the boot option, you can then install the nvidia driver
[14:59] <oneliner> ActionParsnip: understood, will try, thanks
[15:00] <raidgh0st> Acer aspire one, 2GB of ram 500GB Hybriddisk 4GB swap. Would ubuntu remix run okey without slowness?
[15:01] <ActionParsnip> raidgh0st: sure, thats more than anything I have
[15:01] <blackshirt> Yeah,i think
[15:01] <cloudgeek> asidgh0st:yeah sure
[15:01] <ActionParsnip> raidgh0st: only needs 2Gb swap really, unless you anticipate using a tonne of ram
[15:01] <raidgh0st> I was wrong in my writing.
[15:02] <raidgh0st> It i a 500GB Hybriddisk where 4GB is ssd flash
[15:02] <cloudgeek> raidgh0st:yep (y) , i also same system without no prob
[15:02] <raidgh0st> cloudgeek: how is youtube and watching diff movie formats
[15:02] <raidgh0st> Ive tried watching my preedited home movie (MKV)
[15:03] <raidgh0st> and it was a sadness.
[15:03] <raidgh0st> And the STLAB company makes trash.
[15:03] <ActionParsnip> raidgh0st: what GPU does it have?
[15:04] <raidgh0st> it has a 950 or 900
[15:04] <raidgh0st> gma
[15:04] <raidgh0st> intel something
[15:04] <ActionParsnip> raidgh0st: should be ok
[15:04] <raidgh0st> intel graphics media accelerator 500
[15:05] <raidgh0st> I`ve heard that there`s no driver for that card in ubuntu, that works 100% on the fly
[15:06] <cloudgeek> raidh0st: it working fine for video , but my work is developing , and coding
[15:06] <cloudgeek> raidh0st: it fine and best for me , i think for you too :)
[15:07] <raidgh0st> cloudgeek: could you play 720P?
[15:07] <Promethes> hi, i want window buttons on the right in Oneiric, ive set it up but Google Chrome still have this buttons on the left, anyone knows how to fix this?
[15:08] <theadmin> Promethes: Try Settings -> Under the hood -> Use system window borders
[15:08] <cloudgeek> raidh0st: yep 1024 also working here
[15:09] <raidgh0st> 1024? i dont speak resolution
[15:09] <Promethes> theadmin: but i want to have Google Chrome native window borders not gtk
[15:09] <raidgh0st> I wanna know if its posible to watch a mkv 720P without frame by frame picture by picture
[15:09] <raidgh0st> It is so * annoying.
[15:09] <theadmin> Promethes: Then I don't think you can do anything, really, it's native borders are hardcoded and you can't change how they look
[15:11] <Promethes> theadmin: in ubuntu 11.04 those butons were on the right side of the window, in 11.10 on left, i upgraded yesterday my ubuntu from 11.04 to 11.10, google chrome package was not reinstalled or modified in any way
[15:11] <theadmin> Promethes: Uh, you think?... Hm... I dunno. Do you get the same stuff in Chromium?
[15:12] <mariusz_> hej jak tam
[15:13] <Promethes> theadmin: i will check
[15:13] <paulina> aha
[15:13] <paulina> tAK
[15:15] <Promethes> theadmin: in chromium those buttons are on left side too
[15:15] <Satin> does anybody know the right software to download to use the internet in 10.04.3 LTS?
[15:15] <theadmin> Promethes: Hm, okay, check the installed package list for anything related to that
[15:15] <paulina> AHA
[15:15] <theadmin> Satin: lolwut?
[15:17] <Promethes> theadmin: in 11.04 and previous versions there was Ubuntu Tweak option for this, now i just changed gtk theme to Advaita
[15:18] <Satin> theadmin, i am at a motel with wifi and i just installed 10.04.3 LTS. should the install come with the right software to us the wifi here, or do i need to setup the connection in the wireless editor
[15:18] <Promethes> theadmin: btw buttons on the left is only a ubuntu feature or is this also by default in Gnome3?
[15:18] <theadmin> Promethes: No, vanilla Gnome3 has them on the right
[15:19] <Satin> in the terminal how do i find the mac address
[15:20] <marisn> Satin: ifconfig
[15:21] <marisn> ideas why nm-applet is not running by default?
[15:22] <theadmin> Satin: ifconfig, search for HWaddr
[15:23] <Satin> Pici, please read to 'theadmin'
[15:23] <MetaJake> might anyone be able to recommend a fast, comprehensive, from the ground up learning/teaching/tutorial style introduction book to C programming?
[15:23] <theadmin> Satin: Also, wi-fi works out of the box with most chipsets
[15:23] <marisn> MetaJake: K&R?
[15:24] <MetaJake> Marisn, What is K&R?
[15:25] <llutz> kernighan ritchie
[15:25] <nb-ben> MetaJake, the internet's web is the most extensive book you can find about C
[15:26] <jaypro> i want to copy the contents of one harddrive to another using ddrescue, but fdisk shows unrecognized disk volume for both hard drives... should i just force the ddrescue?
[15:26] <jaypro> ddrescue /dev/sdb /dev/sda??
[15:26] <nb-ben> or almost any programming language for that matter... the books I bought sit in the shelf
[15:26] <MetaJake> nb-ben, "googling fast complete guide to C"
[15:26] <nb-ben> MetaJake, why do you need the complete guide?
[15:27] <nb-ben> MetaJake, why not read a getting started tutorial, then read a "create an irc bot" tutorial, and then go for another topic, finding completely different guides on the net
[15:27] <paulina> hej jak tam
[15:27] <oCean> MetaJake: I don't see how yours is an #ubuntu issue. There's specific channels such as ##C and ##programming
[15:27] <nb-ben> I am sure different websites cover different topics better than just one exclusive guide
[15:28] <MetaJake> ocean, thank you
[15:28] <xrdodrx> Can anyone test a program I wrote to see if it works on a default Ubuntu install? It's in Python if you want to check the sources, I wrote it for one of my classes: (run the lottery file) http://www.mediafire.com/?kaa23lorcs3l4am
[15:28] <oCean> !pl | paulina
[15:28] <oCean> xrdodrx: pleaes use #ubuntu-offtopic for that
[15:29] <xrdodrx> oCean, okay
[15:29] <xrdodrx> sorry
[15:29] <oCean> np
[15:29] <paulina> aha

[15:31] <sogeking99> hey guys, how can i stop the screen from turning off while watching videos on youtube and stuff
[15:31] <sogeking99> so i don't have to move the mouse every few mins
[15:31] <marisn> how can I completely disable smbd and sshd from starting on boot? I did it once still today I see that they have "magically" returned :(
[15:31] <christian__1> please can anyone help me
[15:32] <marisn> christian__1: restart apache after conf. changes.
[15:32] <christian__1> i did

[15:32] <christian__1> i will upload it on pastebin one moment
[15:33] <paulina> papa
[15:33] <oCean> christian__1: you should add your port in /etc/apache2/ports.conf
[15:33] <christian__1> i did
[15:33] <llutz> marisn: mv /etc/init/ssh.conf /etc/init/ssh.conf-disabled   (same for smbd)

[15:49] <popey> AndrewW: is it a wacom tablet (the screen)?
[15:49] <AndrewW> Im not sure, I think so
[15:49] <popey> AndrewW: if so i think you can use xsetwacom to rotate the input device
[15:50] <ashmew2> How can i make a small script for GUI Automation for entering data in the system dialogs that Ubuntu asks me for ?
[15:50] <AndrewW> Ok. I'll try that

[15:51] <bad_alloc> Hi, I'm trying to backup a C++ project to a harddrive somthere on the network. I'd like to always have an exact copy of the current project status on the remote drive, so files I remove locally shall also be removed on the network drive. How do I do this with rsync? Currently I've got rsync -avh [source] [target] but that doesn't remove files. (Furthermore, nothing must be changed by rsync in the local directo

[15:51] <ashmew2> popey, i want to output  stuff i already know like "Hello" and press some button like the OK Button

[15:52] <ashmew2> popey, ill look into xnee though
[15:52] <popey> ashmew2: i dont think that was the one though, i cant remember what the one a friend uses is, and he's offline
[15:52] <bad_alloc> mongy: only rsync --delete [source] [target] ?

[16:16] <WindowsMojave> Hey guy's :)
[16:17] <WindowsMojave> Anyone looking for quality paid web hosting?  I need some clients.
[16:17] <WindowsMojave> Just launched my host Wednesday
[16:18] <n4dsp> top menu bar has a red triangle that when clicked on it downloads upgrades. What are these upgrades? Thought Ubuntu does it automatically
[16:18] <MrPopinjay> Does anyone know an idiot proof for batch encoding files to FLAC? flac isn't overly helpful as I don't know what values to specify for half the options, there are no defaults and the man page gives no examples.
[16:19] <oCean> WindowsMojave: don't advertise here, thank you
[16:20] <BluesKaj> MrPopinjay, try soundKonverter , it's kde app , but there may be agnome equivalent in your package manager
[16:20] <MrPopinjay> Thanks BluesKaj, I'll have a look now
[16:20] <Mjondras> Hi, I'm an ubuntu newbie. I need some help on wrapping my head around the terminal. And also on getting a driver for my touchpad.
[16:22] <MrPopinjay> BluesKaj, Aha, it's here. This looks like what I'm after, thank you
[16:22] <Satin> what does 'error 22' mean while booting
[16:22] <mariusz_> HEJ
[16:23] <PAULINA> hej
[16:23] <caio> hi guys
[16:23] <rbg> hola
[16:23] <King_Ozzy> hi
[16:23] <Satin> hi
[16:24] <caio> i installed ubuntu on my machine, but in boot it shows a error
[16:26] <caio> i will try again later... but, anybody received an error message after installed it with wubi?
[16:26] <CharminTheMoose> I'm having a problem firefox and X's sloppy focus. The menus (File, Edit, View) and the right click menu just disappear when mousing over them, so I can't click on anything in those menus, though surfing the web works fine, for the most part.
[16:26] <monkinto> Nope I have installed ubuntu multiple times and have never had an error on startup
[16:28] <MrPopinjay> BluesKaj, Why is this program around 200meg? :o
[16:28] <zacktu> how can i remove all files in my ubuntuone repository?
[16:29] <Satin> caio, what error did you get
[16:29] <mongy> MrPopinjay, soundconverter can do it
[16:30] <MrPopinjay> mongy, Yeah, someone directed me to it :) I would like to know why it's 200meg in size though...
[16:30] <mongy> MrPopinjay, it's not.  the soundKonverter version might because of all the KDE libs it needs.
[16:30] <arlo__> hello are there apache expert here, my problem is i can not connect to my domain with www but with mydomain.dk is working , this is my apache code : http://pastebin.com/JsAjab24
[16:31] <conntrack> Oh bugger
[16:31] <conntrack> I lost some photos :(
[16:32] <mongy> arlo, could it be as simple as having the directory called www.mydomain.dk
[16:33] <schnuffle> arlo: add a ServerAlias for the www domain
[16:33] <arlo__> mongy no
[16:33] <arlo__> my directory  name mydomain.dk
[16:34] <arlo__> but i can not connect to my browser with www
[16:34] <mongy> arlo, set an alias
[16:34] <schnuffle> arlo__:  ServerAlias www.mydomain.dk
[16:34] <arlo__>  yes right
[16:34] <arlo__> 2 sek i try
[16:34] <arlo__> :-)
[16:34] <tsets> I got 10Gs of unallocated disk space, I'm trying to create that space as a ext4 partition, but whenever I do that, it also creates a 1 mb of unallocated space.  Is that normal or is there any way to use that 1 meg?
[16:35] <MrPopinjay> These programs are all pretty trashy. I wish TLH was avalible for linux
[16:35] <Cube``> popey: lol
[16:36] <escott> tsets, you can allocate it but you probably dont. its trying to maintain alignment. if you arent aligned the drive will be much much slower
[16:36] <LemonAid> tsets, i believe it`s normal.
[16:37] <arlo__> Thanks mongy and schnuffle is working :-)
[16:37] <mongy> MrPopinjay, soundconverter can encode all your files to what you want and put them into folders based on the artist/album name, and uses multiple threads.  what more does it need to do
[16:38] <tsets> Well thanks, I guess is normal then, because with gparted don't allow me to set the "free space preceding option" to less than 1
[16:39] <MrPopinjay> mongy, The interface is a bit clunky by comparison, it works with fewer file formats and there are fewer options. It does the job but it's not as good as what I would normally be using.
[16:40] <mongy> MrPopinjay,  try arista, I believe it can do audio as well as video.  soundKonverter, the kde version, is a bit more bells and whistles than the gnome version
[16:42] <Sidewinder1> caio, Don't use WUBI!
[16:42] <D-coy> =S
[16:42] <escott> tsets, there is a checkbox for 1mb alignment in gparted, but if dont do 1mb alignment make sure you are properly aligned for your disk
[16:42] <Sidewinder1> :D
[16:43] <daniel_mircea> hi does anyone know where i can get some help on a broken /etc/sudoers file on ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS Live USB with persistent storage ?
[16:43] <daniel_mircea> or can someone help ?
[16:43] <zacktu> can i delete all of the files in my ubuntuone repository so that I can sync everything again?
[16:44] <linux-admin> :D
[16:45] <schnuffle> daniel_mircea: use visudo -c to check the file for errors
[16:45] <Sidewinder1> Daniel0108, I'm on 10.04, but, what did you do to the "sudoers" file, to cause thew problem? I know, that doesn't really help, but it's a start.
[16:46] <tsets> Thanks all for the help!  I made it, I just deleted it and recreated  it as a primary partition
[16:46] <daniel_mircea> schnuffle: visudo -c spills out : visudo: unable to open /etc/sudoers: Input/output error
[16:46] <dnalfuak> hi, i am need help
[16:46] <Scarra3> alright I am having some trouble with my graphics card I just installed ubuntu and installed the restricted drivers but it seem like I have 2 choices NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (verstion current) [Recommened] or NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (post-release updates) (version current-updates)
[16:46] <fschuindt> someone knows how can I get my window border and top bar again without stop compiz?
[16:46] <escott> daniel_mircea, sounds like the filesystem on the usb is corrupted. usb dongles are not very stable for long term storage. you may have to rebuild the os on that usb
[16:46] <Scarra3> I don't know which one I should go with
[16:47] <hcsifnuht> dnalfuak: hi, is your problem with ubuntu?
[16:47] <daniel_mircea> escott: yeah.. so i've heard :))
[16:47] <dnalfuak> hcsifnuht:
[16:47] <Scarra3> Any ideas?
[16:47] <[random]> Hi guys. I'm a ubuntu newb and having a bit of problem with systems settings. Whatever change I make doesn't actually change anything. Anybody have insights how can I go about fixing this problem?
[16:48] <daniel_mircea> escott: from what i've searched the net i think a possible ..rather barbaric solution would be erasing casper-rw file on usb stick and making a fresh one
[16:48] <Sidewinder1> !details | [random]
[16:49] <escott> daniel_mircea, casper is the system disk image. so yes that would get rid of the os on the flash
[16:49] <[random]> sorry. I'm a little slow with CLI irc
[16:49] <[random]> it's 11.10
[16:49] <[random]> i'm trying to change appearance, time/date, mouse sensitivity, and language
[16:49] <Scarra3> I am running Ubuntu 11.10 and the integrated graphics driver is an NVIDIA GeForce 9100 and the one in my PCI Slot is an NVIDIA GeForce 210 I am trying to decide what driver I should use for the 210 NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (verstion current) [Recommened] or NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (post-release updates) (version current-updates)
[16:50] <airman00> I want to log the output of netstat -su every 15 seconds, what sort of bash command can do this?
[16:50] <Sidewinder1> [random], 'Tis OK, just state the problem with as many details as you can..
[16:50] <dannel> airman00, a cron job?
[16:50] <llutz> airman00: watch -n 15 netstat -su
[16:50] <airman00> llutz: thanks, that was it
[16:51] <[random]> i posted the problem on ubuntu forums but the person who replied suggested that i submit it as a bug and i'm not confident that it is one. so i came here
[16:51] <[random]> so after i make changes, nothing really changes. when i go back to systems settings, all the changes i made, like the options i checked or languages i added are still checked off
[16:52] <[random]> and uname gave me Linux T 3.0.0-14-generic #23-Ubuntu SMP Mon Nov 21 20:28:43 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[16:53] <[random]> when i first installed ubuntu i didn't have any problems
[16:53] <[random]> but after last couple of updates, everything kinda broke. my trackpad on my laptop doesn't work anymore. ubuntu doesn't recognize any of the removable storage devices
[16:54] <[random]> and i havne't tinkered with the kernal or anything yet since i'm not quite comfortable doing so
[16:55] <[random]> so there's my story/spam
[16:55] <[random]> wish i could give you more details but not sure what is quite relevant to the problem
[16:55] <Scarra3> Any ideas/.
[17:00] <kamilnadeem> Hi
[17:01] <kamilnadeem> How does one stop Ubuntu one from auto starting at startup in 11.10. ?
[17:02] <kamilnadeem> Whenever I start the system I find it enabled, have tried disabling it from the Ubuntu one but everytime it auto enables?
[17:02] <qcjn> hi, i've installed gnome-panel , on oneiric, but some tutorial seems to suggest gnome-session-fallback, is there one better ? and if i install gnome-session-fallback, must i uninstall gnome-panel ?
[17:03] <qcjn> or gnome-panel is like already integrated in session-fallback ?
[17:03] <Cradam> is there a way in gnome-panel to see the command behind the launcher?
[17:03] <ssta> gnmome-panel is a dependency of gnome-session-fallback
[17:04] <Acorn> how do you make an application start with focus when you launch it from the command line?
[17:04] <oxmox> what is wrong with samba ????
[17:04] <Cradam> n/m found it
[17:04] <qcjn> ssta, sp there s no problem in installing gnome-session-fallback, it will just not install gnome-panelsince it s already there
[17:04] <ssta> qcjn: yes
[17:04] <qcjn> ssta, thanks
[17:05] <ssta> oxmox: I take it you mean besides it being an implementation of an absolutely awful protocol?
[17:05] <oxmox> i cant even install it
[17:05] <ssta> what are you trying to do exactly?

[17:06] <benahmed> yqs
[17:06] <benahmed> biro

[17:06] <oCean> benahmed: do you have a support question?
[17:06] <benahmed> no
[17:08] <ssta> what happens when you try to install samba?  (they conflist IIRC)
[17:08] <N1ghtCrawler> what problems to expect if I add 11.10 repos to a 9.04 server?
[17:09] <oCean> N1ghtCrawler: *lots* of dependency issues and breakage, don't do it
[17:09] <oxmox> Please remove the smb.conf file and let provision generate it
[17:09] <itaylor57> N1ghtCrawler, a borked system
[17:09] <ssta> oxmox: have you tried that?
[17:09] <Scarra3> oCean: do you think you can help me with my issues with ubuntu 11.10
[17:10] <oxmox> i just installed it
[17:10] <N1ghtCrawler> Well, it seems like the 9.04 repos is shutdown :/ I would like to install some software on my server and I can't update the server...
[17:10] <oCean> Scarra3: sorry, I've hardly any knowledge of graphic controllers/drivers etc
[17:11] <oCean> N1ghtCrawler: repositories are moved to old-releases.ubuntu.com
[17:11] <Scarra3> alright thanks anyways do you happen to have experience with web cameras?
[17:11] <oCean> N1ghtCrawler: there are no updates, just the original packages there
[17:11] <oCean> Scarra3: nope, again sorry :(
[17:11] <N1ghtCrawler> well, should do it for me
[17:12] <oCean> Scarra3: maybe try later, in a couple of hours the channel might be busier
[17:12] <Scarra3> No problem im just trying to figure out how to get the microphone on the webcamera to work
[17:12] <xtgyal> wine is frozon on Ubuntu Lucid and xkill from Terminal doesn't work, how do i close it?
[17:12] <oxmox> how i can install the old samba that works

[17:15] <doritoDan> Guys, is there a way to make application top bars as well as the leftmost launch sidebar NOT autohide?

[17:17] <Lydia> Nex4: xD
[17:17] <cousteau> just downloaded the crayon physics demo for Linux.  I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 64b.  The game is for 32b but it runs here, also it has some bundled libraries.  Howeve, when I run the game all I see is a white screen with a mouse pointer, with music playing.  I get no error messages, not even with gdb.  I'm not using composition, just plain Metacity.  What could be happening?
[17:18] <Scarra3> oCean: Do you know how I can tell if my graphics card is working properly?
[17:18] <oneliner>  so this is day 2 of my crusade to get an nvidia gtx 550 ti working on my new system, anyone wants to give me a hand, am stuck at : blank screen on boot
[17:18] <escott> !nomodeset | oneliner
[17:19] <cousteau> and when I run glxgears the gears run smoothly, I have accelerated graphics with the nvidia 96 driver
[17:19] <spencer_> i need some help!!! my left click stop working in unity :( works in lightdm sceen.
[17:22] <spencer_> seems like my udev is missing the hid rule.. can anyone help me?
[17:22] <oneliner> escott adding nomodeset to grub boot edit gives me : blinking cursor
[17:23] <escott> spencer_, its more likely you have something in your xmodmap that is disabling the click
[17:23] <spencer_> escott, where can i config that?
[17:24] <escott> spencer_, i would check if the click is appearing in xev, then start looking in your . files
[17:24] <spencer_> ok.. let me check..
[17:25] <oneliner> will nomodeset also disable nouveau?
[17:25] <satty> hey guys
[17:26] <doritoDan> Anybody know if there's a way to make application top bars as well as the leftmost launch sidebar NOT autohide?
[17:26] <spencer_> escott, what exactly should i be searching for
[17:26] <escott> oneliner, it doesn't disable anything about the graphics cards except for kernel modesetting
[17:26] <escott> spencer_, do you see the clicks in xev?
[17:26] <spencer_> where is xev?
[17:26] <escott> spencer_, its a command line tool
[17:27] <oxmox> where i become the samba 3.6.1 deb
[17:27] <fff> hi
[17:27] <Scarra3> should I install drivers or update first?
[17:27] <oneliner> so i could add nouveau.modeset=0 to try and get vesa for the card?
[17:28] <spencer_> escott, kb and mouse movement is working.. no clicks though :(
[17:28] <escott> oneliner, getting vesa would be a different boot option
[17:28] <escott> spencer_, of any clicks or just the left?
[17:28] <meco> Is there something syntactically wrong with this line in /etc/fstab: UUID=E6B08D1CB08CF479 /mnt/windows ntfs defaults 0 2
[17:29] <escott> meco, you probably want ntfs-3g not ntfs
[17:29] <oneliner> ok so my pickle is this: live cd boot graphical interface without problem, how can i make the install boot with the same method for graphic configuration the live cd uses?
[17:29] <meco> escott: I've been told it's supposed to be just ntfs when it's in  /etc/fstab
[17:30] <escott> meco, if you want ro sure. but if you want rw its ntfs-3g. other things you probably want to do are specify user as an option, and convert the uuid format to match the others 8-4-4-12 lowercase
[17:30] <lantizia> Lets say I've made an app... where should settings be stored in $HOME?  (i.e. directly in home? or in .local? or what?)
[17:31] <spencer_> escott, just left click.. and mouse btn 4
[17:32] <Nineain> ciao winusers!
[17:32] <meco> escott: What do you mean about specifying user as an option? What would that look like?
[17:32] <escott> spencer_, so look at .Xmodmap, you might also investigate input settings with xinput
[17:33] <spencer_> escott, where's the xinput?? in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf?
[17:33] <N1ghtCrawler> oCean: Thanks to you I solved my problem. Cudos
[17:33] <resonantsky> ls
[17:34] <escott> meco, as currently written it will be mounted and all files will be root owned. you want to put defaults,user

[17:34] <selite> On the desktop computer I connect it via DVI.
[17:34] <escott> spencer_, xinput is another command line tool. xinput --list to get the input id xinput --list-props # to see properties. what kind of mouse is this. normal usb mouse

[17:36] <spencer_> escott, it's a logitech bluetooth bundle
[17:36] <escott> Odaym, its probably sdb1 but use the disk utility to find it
[17:36] <Odaym> ah right
[17:36] <Odaym> right
[17:37] <Odaym> it's just sdb, escott
[17:37] <Odaym> that's...normal, right?
[17:37] <escott> Odaym, that would be the device, sdb1 is partition one on that device
[17:37] <Odaym> right
[17:37] <cousteau> well, some devices don't have partitions, they have a partition table format that only allows 1 partition
[17:38] <cousteau> so there's no sdb1, just sdb
[17:38] <cousteau> I've seen this in many MP3 players

[17:38] <Odaym> referring to the capacity of his pen drive?
[17:39] <escott> meco, you just type it in lower case and put the "-"s in the right places
[17:39] <meco> escott: There aren't that many ciphers... can't do that
[17:40] <escott> Odaym, presumably 32767 is the size of that swap partition in something... blocks maybe

[17:41] <Luca__> hi
[17:41] <escott> meco, a uuid is by definition 32 hex characters
[17:41] <Luca__> is there any major difference fro using 11.10 instead of 11.04 as a rescue cd?
[17:42] <Luca__> i only have 11.04 downloaded and wanted tosave time
[17:42] <escott> spencer_, "the key is mapped for the mouse". I dont know what that means. you might use xinput set-props if you think it is set wrong
[17:42] <escott> Luca__, nothing major
[17:42] <Luca__> thanks
[17:42] <meco> escott: It can't be: http://pastebin.com/v4FPK26H
[17:43] <cousteau> Luca__, as a rescue (live) CD?  there shouldn't be many differences
[17:43] <Luca__> i will dl 11.10 anyway as i 99% need a reinstall
[17:43] <Odaym> is it working for me now, escott ? http://pastebin.com/GtyLXxuq

[17:45] <cousteau> Luca__, uh maybe...
[17:45] <cousteau> you could try to recover some files with testdisk and photorec
[17:46] <escott> spencer_, what property is this

[17:47] <Odaym> well yes it's being listed under there
[17:47] <Odaym> but what about the 32676
[17:47] <escott> Luca__, very possibly
[17:47] <Luca__> is there anything i could do? try this testdisk thing?
[17:47] <Odaym> and it doesn't say anything under "Used" for the /dev/sdb (USB pen) when I do "swapon -s"
[17:48] <spencer_> escott, my xinput --list-props # showed me "Button Labels (255)" : Button Left (124)
[17:48] <cousteau> Luca__, well, first try with a live cd and see if it manages to mount any file system

[17:51] <josue> yes
[17:52] <josue> theadmin: yes
[17:52] <theadmin> josue: That's the problem, NTFS does not support Unix permissions. Copy them elsewhere, mount the filesystem with uid= flag, or just... well... do something like that

[17:55] <escott> Odaym, you certainly dont need that much swap, but you are using a little bit of it so it would be slightly faster
[17:55] <Luca__> uh-oh
[17:55] <Luca__> i CAN mount the disks
[17:56] <Odaym> I'm currently running Chrome, Pidgin, Xchat, a terminal session, Eclipse (along with the android emulator), Audacity, Eric 4 (Python IDE), K3B, Netbeans, Software Center, Google Earth, Medeley, Gimp, Brasero
[17:56] <Luca__> but where the Linux install was, now i have a pretty Ubuntu 11.10 installation disk
[17:56] <escott> Odaym, it would make more sense to use that usb as a /tmp partition
[17:56] <meco> I can't seem to be able to mount my ntfs partition during boot. I have the following line in /etc/fstab: UUID=E6B08D1CB08CF479 /mnt/windows ntfs defaults,user 0 2

[17:58] <oneliner> blacklist?
[17:58] <mongy> escott, I believe there is now an ntfschk tool in 11.10
[17:58] <mongy> escott, sorry, ntfsck
[17:58] <BluesKaj> !blacklist | oneliner
[18:00] <meco> mongy: That ntfsck, do you know how to use it. It doesn't have a man page.
[18:00] <josue> theadmin: I lost my connection for one minute here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/774512/
[18:01] <escott> meco, also you probably dont want to be using the ntfs driver but rather the ntfs-3g driver and if you want it to mount on boot you need to specify uid and gitd
[18:01] <theadmin> josue: That's not interesting, what is your ntfs partition in /dev/sd notation?
[18:01] <linuxor> hi, what to do to get a copy of my soft installed to use it with other distr ?
[18:01] <meco> escott: What would be the additions here then: UUID=E6B08D1CB08CF479 /mnt/windows ntfs defaults,user 0 2
[18:01] <mongy> meco, no idea.  never used it.
[18:02] <mongy> meco, you are better off letting windows handle its own partitions.
[18:02] <meco> mongy: Ok, typing it by itself just returns the prompt..
[18:02] <escott> meco, ntfs-3g instead of ntfs and defaults,user,uid=1000,gid=1000 (assuming you are 1000)
[18:02] <theadmin> linuxor: You can't use Ubuntu software with other distributions. It's not like Windows exe's. Software from one distribution won't work in another.
[18:02] <josue> theadmin: /dev/sda3   Mountpoint: /media/archivos
[18:02] <bullgard4> !gnome-shell | l11
[18:02] <meco> escott: I don't know what those values represent so how do I make sure?
[18:03] <linuxor> theadmin: why? if it ie .deb ?
[18:04] <linuxor> theadmin: for example vlc.deb I can use it in ubuntu, debian, mint ....
[18:05] <theadmin> josue: Okay, good, then run this: echo "/dev/sda3 /media/archivos ntfs-3g defaults,uid=$(id -u) 0 0" | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab
[18:05] <theadmin> josue: And reboot, now you should be able to work fine
[18:05] <theadmin> linuxor: No, you can't use Ubuntu packages in Debian...
[18:05] <escott> meco, they should match the output of "id" in the terminal
[18:05] <theadmin> linuxor: Would work with Mint though, because Mint is Ubuntu

[18:07] <theadmin> Saik: errr, wrong channel, try ##windows
[18:07] <Saik> lol thought I'd try theadmin
[18:08] <theadmin> Saik: Might try in #ubuntu-offtopic, but not here
[18:08] <Saik> theadmin, I've actually had answers given in here before. so I thought it was worth trying

[18:08] <pangolin> !windows
[18:08] <theadmin> Saik: Against the channel policy to ask non-Ubuntu-support questions
[18:09] <Saik> theadmin: yea, we do that sometimes lol
[18:09] <theadmin> linuxor: Well, basically, files downloaded via APT-aware applications (e.g. apt-get, aptitude, synaptic, software-center) are stored in /var/cache/apt/archives/

[18:11] <CaptainKnots> theadmin: I know it well...this is my girlfriend's laptop running xubuntu and I'd rather not have her playing with synaptic
[18:11] <milamber> zpul: when you install there will be a dual boot option
[18:11] <BetaArk> anyone here with a sandy bridge motherboard?
[18:11] <oneliner> looks like there will be no way to use gtx 550 ti nvidia cards with ubuntu for a while, at least not with 11.10
[18:11] <theadmin> DemonWitch: Most likely it's in /etc/motd or something
[18:11] <escott> CaptainKnots, just take here out of the admin group
[18:12] <zpul> ehm yes, but I have already 4 primary partitions
[18:12] <zpul> no logical partition

[18:13] <xxx_x> theadmin, thanks
[18:13] <milamber> zpul: are they the default ones that came with the computer?
[18:13] <Nepomuk> ??
[18:13] <Nepomuk> no kde
[18:13] <zpul> milyes
[18:13] <josue> theadmin: I did As you said but after pasting the command, it didn´t return to as it would normaly to the command prompt. I reboothe the pc and its the same
[18:13] <zpul> milamber: yes
[18:14] <theadmin> josue: Huh... Didn't return? Did you type everything exactly as I gave?
[18:14] <meco> If there was something the matter with the ntfs partition, then why is it only during boot that I cannot mount it? It works fine from terminal.
[18:14] <milamber> zpul: then the installer will do the work for you, it will replace the windows boot loader with grub and you will still have all your options.
[18:15] <oneliner> does anyone know what graphics configuration does the live cd use ? and why it works when the actual installed os dosent? and how can i boot with that same graphics setting?
[18:15] <CaptainKnots> what's the easiest way to install windows after ubuntu?
[18:15] <escott> meco, usually you would not have that "2" at the end of your fstab line for ntfs. you cant fix it so dont fsck it. the ntfs-3g utility will do some sanity checks before mounting
[18:15] <josue> theadmin: this is what I pasted /dev/sda3 /media/archivos ntfs-3g defaults,uid=$(id -u) 0 0" | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab
[18:15] <theadmin> josue: You forgot echo and the initial quote... Here's the command again: echo "/dev/sda3 /media/archivos ntfs-3g defaults,uid=$(id -u) 0 0" | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab
[18:15] <escott> josue, you lost an echo " that should start that (prior to /dev/sda3"
[18:16] <meco> escott: If I just drop that last '2' then it won't attempt to check before mounting?
[18:16] <escott> meco, change it to a 0
[18:16] <milamber> !nomodeset | oneliner
[18:16] <meco> ok
[18:17] <josue> theadmin: thanks it gave me /dev/sda3 /media/archivos ntfs-3g defaults,uid=1000 0 0
[18:17] <josue> I will reboot now.
[18:17] <meco> me too
[18:17] <theadmin> josue: Sounds right.
[18:17] <zpul> milamber: OK, right now I have the following situation /dev/sda < 1 primary NTFS, 2 primary NTFS, 3 primary NTFS, primary SYSTEM-RECOVERY >. partition 3 can be removed, the others no as long as I can tell. the only option left is to have a single primary partition for ubuntu and no swap?
[18:17] <theadmin> zpul: Why not a extended?
[18:18] <escott> zpul, you can replace partition 3 with an extended and then 5,6 become ubuntu root and swap
[18:18] <oneliner> milamber already tried that
[18:18] <zpul> ok, but grub can start linux from an extended partition?
[18:18] <oneliner> thanks
[18:18] <milamber> zpul: it will ask you a couple questions about size and repartition for you. depending on the size of that last partition you could split that into your /home, main, and swap
[18:19] <escott> zpul, grub usually isnt bothered. sometimes bioses won't let grub access stuff in an extended, but grub doesnt care
[18:19] <zpul> milamber: yes I will like to have it split in /home, root and swap

[18:21] <theadmin> Mjoo: You do it the other way around, normally, but yes. It's just a bit of a hassle this way.
[18:21] <oneliner> does anyone know what graphics configuration does the live cd use ? and why it works when the actual installed os dosent? and how can i boot with that same graphics setting?

[18:21] <zpul> CaptainKnots: I cannot remove it, I suppose..
[18:21] <milamber> zpul: are you sure it isn't the recovery?
[18:21] <IHateHavingToReg> theadmin: wait, what is "whatever.deb" ?
[18:21] <CaptainKnots> zpul: if you don't want windows to break, no :P
[18:21] <zpul> milamber: no the recovery is 15GB at the end of the disk
[18:21] <theadmin> IHateHavingToReg: The file name, I was too lazy to paste it in xD

[18:24] <theadmin> IHateHavingToReg: pine's a mail client, right? What's wrong with mutt?
[18:24] <theadmin> lol
[18:24]  * milamber still uses alpine
[18:24] <zpul> another question guys, I can safely install ubuntu after building the system recovery DVDs for this laptop or shall I do something more before starting?
[18:24] <CaptainKnots> I used pine back in the day
[18:24] <IHateHavingToReg> i dunno, i don't know a lot, just know the last time i dabbled with my own box i used pine and worked reasonably well
[18:24] <oneliner> cipherboy: can have graphical boot from live cd, hang with no access to tty1-6 otherwise normal boot
[18:24] <escott> zpul, those system recovery dvds never work
[18:25] <zpul> CaptainKnots: and probably they like having a partition more to annoy linux users..
[18:25] <milamber> zpul: you can check your hardware by running it as a live cd/usb first
[18:25] <n4dsp> Is Rute's a good beginner book for Linux students?
[18:25] <CaptainKnots> zpul: ditch windows completely
[18:25] <escott> zpul, use the windows backup tool to backup to an external drive thats all you need to do
[18:25] <CaptainKnots> and use a vm of it
[18:25] <escott> zpul, or rather can do
[18:25] <IHateHavingToReg> woo hoo! it works. Thanks guys :0
[18:25] <IHateHavingToReg> :) i meant
[18:26] <milamber> escott: why not have the new guy just get his feet wet by running the live cd, mounting the hard drive read only, and then dd'ng it?
[18:26] <milamber> :)
[18:26] <CaptainKnots> zpul: that partition is more to prevent bootloader injections to pirate windows
[18:26] <transpissed1> [19:22] <transpissed> hey, im sitting here with a problem, that is transmission update nad its blocklist-related, that im not able to solve for myself  is there anyone who can help? i tried updating to 2.42 but i t just update d to transmission 2.04, and im not able to create blocklist entries
[18:26] <zpul> this laptop has a broadcom wireless card, it should work out-of-the-box?
[18:26] <theadmin> IHateHavingToReg: What's the point in thanking guys if the one who helped you figure it out is a girl? :P
[18:26] <milamber> !broadcom
[18:26] <CaptainKnots> transpissed1: use the ppa
[18:26] <zpul> thanks
[18:27] <cristian_c> Hello, I have to change the key number code manager from the default one in ubuntu to that used by an alternative program, such as keytouch
[18:27] <meco> Does anyone know where I might find a .openboxrc file?
[18:27] <Mjoo> theadmin: how would you go about if you were to install W7 upon a ubuntu install?
[18:27] <theadmin> Mjoo: Install win7, reinstall grub
[18:27] <transpissed1> captainknots: tried to but i need help with the commands here
[18:27] <Mjoo> Grub being some boot file?
[18:27] <escott> milamber, having someone new to linux backup his system with command line tools that he doesnt know how to use, and if he does it incorrectly will force him to pay $200 out of pocket to get windows? no i think using windows own backup tool is better
[18:27] <theadmin> Mjoo: The bootloader, yeah
[18:28] <Mjoo> Cool, thanks!
[18:28] <CaptainKnots> !ppa | transpissed1
[18:28] <theadmin> !restoregrub | Mjoo
[18:28] <josue> theadmin:  now I see that I have read and write for all files in the permision tab, but when I eog on one of the pics it  still tells me permision denied
[18:28] <transpissed1> CaptainKnots, do you have experienc ewith transmission? i use 10.4 lucid
[18:28] <josue> :(
[18:28] <theadmin> josue: weird...
[18:28] <CaptainKnots> transpissed1: yes, I use 2.42
[18:28] <theadmin> josue: I no longer have any idea, sorry... >.<
[18:28] <transpissed1> i know what that is,CaptainKnots, i alreday added one but it doesnt seem to wörrrk
[18:28] <josue> theadmin: Thanks for all your help!
[18:29] <CaptainKnots> apt-get update and then apt-get upgrade then transpissed1
[18:29] <transpissed1> and, CaptainKnots, i failed to upgrade to 2.42
[18:29] <theadmin> josue: Except I didn't help >.<
[18:29] <cristian_c> I checked a configuration file called 55keytouchd_launch (found in / etc/X11/Xsession.d) whose content is as follows:
[18:30] <cristian_c> http://paste.ubuntu.com/774537/
, what distro r ui using?
[18:31] <oneliner> i am truly starting to wonder if ubuntu albeit free, made me lose money betting on a top notch nvidia card, that would be ironic
[18:31] <CaptainKnots> transpissed1: xubuntu 11.10
[18:31] <cristian_c> I do not think it is very useful to the cause :(
[18:31] <orated> For linux kernel 3.1 I should use http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.1.5-precise/ or www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.0/linux-3.1.5.tar.bz2 ?
[18:31] <dr_willis> oneliner:  with linux you normally dont want 'just released last week hardware'  stuff that has been out for a few months is normally much better supported
, ok this is also one i tried
[18:32] <dr_willis> oneliner:  of course one wonders why one would need a 'top notch video card
[18:32] <Scarra3> what's a way to see if my graphics card is working properly in Ubuntu 11.10
[18:32] <dr_willis> for a linux box.
[18:32] <cristian_c> What should I do to bypass the management of numerical codes by udev?
[18:32] <dr_willis> Scarra3:  whats the card? theres the glxinfo command that should give some info.
[18:33] <cristian_c> may also be the X server to run this stuff by default in ubuntu
[18:33] <Scarra3> dr_willis Its an NVIDIA GeForce 210 I installed the restricted drivers idk if it works properly because I have an integrated on and theres no way to turn it off threw bios
[18:34] <oneliner> dr_willis: maybe you are not aware that linux is mostly command line and surfing the web, but thats for you to find out, besides gtx550ti has been out for a while, and the linux crash pages with that card abound, i just thought i could try to find the issue, but after two days and your attitude am getting the sense i wont
[18:34] <cristian_c> so for you too?
[18:34] <escott> oneliner, if this is a new machine with an intel chip then why not disable the nvidia in the bios and boot with intel graphics
[18:34] <dr_willis> Scarra3:  ive had nvidia+built in  working befor. but been ages. what chipset is the onboard?
[18:34] <flexnsniff> Ok, so i'm stuck. Can you point me the right direction: trying to set /dev/video0 to be static as aswell as /video1 and /video2
[18:34] <cristian_c> This of course if the X server is running
[18:34] <oneliner> escott: am out of luck there; amd chip, no integrated graphics
[18:34] <dr_willis> oneliner:  ive been using linux for 12+ yrs..    theres much more to it then command line ans surfing the web.
[18:35] <flexnsniff> muuuuuch more to it =D
[18:35] <Scarra3> NVIDIA GeForce 9100 HD
[18:35] <cristian_c> but I do not know of any other known video servers, so I do not think anything else could be running it
[18:35] <flexnsniff> i've got a DVR, a PBX, and a Survelliance server running on one machine =D
[18:35] <meco> Does anyone know where I might find a .openboxrc file?
[18:35] <oneliner> dr_willis: then you may have an idea or two for for answering "why would anyone need a top notch video card for running a linux box" which makes me wonder about your intention phrsing that in the first place
[18:36] <escott> oneliner, in a laptop? thats a weird configuration for a laptop
[18:36] <cristian_c> There is also this?
[18:36] <dr_willis> oneliner:  my low end/mid range work great. thers not many games out for linux that demand a top end video card.
[18:36] <CaptainKnots> dr_willis: trine
[18:36] <pm-> i am tickled pink that my laptops intelHD works
[18:37] <zpul> milamber, theadmin, CaptainKnots: thanks
[18:37] <fidel> hi - seems like my sounds is pretty noisy/electronic in flash-usage since 11.10
[18:37] <pm-> to me, that is high end
[18:37] <oneliner> escott: am sorry i think i never said it was a laptop, its a new box with an bulldozer phenom 2 x6 processor and 8gb ram, and the afore mentioned stuborn card
[18:37] <fidel> is that a known issue? any ideas how to fix that?
[18:37] <milamber> zpul: np
[18:37] <Tech-1> pm-:  kernel 3 on up have excellent intel support now
[18:37] <BobZhome> How do I go about reverting some recent changes that "Update Manager"applied to 10.10?
[18:37] <escott> oneliner, in that case spend $25 on a graphics card from a couple years ago. in 6months give the high end graphics card another try
[18:38] <theadmin> BobZhome: you can't, downgrading is not supported
[18:38] <dr_willis> !pin | BobZhome
[18:38] <theadmin> !downgrade | dr_willis :P
[18:38] <dr_willis> BobZhome:  do you know what package youa re hacving issues with?
[18:39] <bucky> Scarra3, according to this it is but I don't know if the 185.18.14 nvidia driver is available in the proprietary drivers repo
[18:39] <theadmin> Oh, okay, that's not related
[18:39] <bucky> ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/185.18.14/README/appendix-a.html
[18:39] <BobZhome> Java is the issue
, upadte and upgrade commands didnt work, update command just returne d 1 error: Fetched 12.6MB in 1min 25s (147kB/s)                                            Reading package lists... Done W: GPG error: http://archive.getdeb.net lucid-getdeb Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available:
[18:39] <escott> BobZhome, if you have an old package in /var/apt/cache you can install it with deb and then pin to that version
[18:39] <theadmin> escott: Rather, /var/cache/apt/
[18:39] <dr_willis> BobZhome:  which java are you using? theres like 2 differnt ones you can use.
[18:40] <oneliner_> great now the batery of the backup laptop am using died on me
[18:40] <BobZhome> sun-java6-jdk
[18:40] <oneliner_> this is gonna be a long sunday
[18:41] <oneliner_> escott: did my last line get through, the box aint a laptop, standard pc bulldozer phenom 2 amd 8gb ram and that stuborn card of mine
[18:41] <oneliner_> i think that what frustrates me most is that the live cd has no trouble booting a visual interface
[18:41] <escott> oneliner, yes. i said go buy yourself a $25 card from a couple years ago and then try again with 12.04
[18:42] <escott> oneliner, you can boot the live cd and then cat /proc/cmdline to see what boot options work there
[18:42] <milamber> oneliner: can you describe the issue and what steps you have taken? that would make it easier to provide support. have you tried the nomodeset option?
[18:43] <transpissed1> CaptainKnots, are you still there?
[18:43] <Scarra3> Should I worry about disabling the integrated one
[18:43] <ppcblaster> Trying to get PVR 350 going to watch and record tv ntsc, need help
[18:44] <ppcblaster> 11.10
[18:44] <escott> BobZhome, there was an announcement from oracle on java6, and thats why it was removed. if you pin that in you are not going to get any security updates
[18:44] <escott> BobZhome, oracle is itself moving to openjdk
[18:45] <transpissed1> k
[18:45] <BluesKaj> escott, i have an old 7600gt running perfectly fine on 12.04...it was 50bucks when i bought it used
[18:46] <escott> BluesKaj, i wasnt following what model oneliner was using. i just heard nvidia and stopped paying attention after that
[18:46] <fhonor> hola
[18:46] <fhonor> alguien español?
[18:46] <transpissed1> chello
[18:46] <escott> !es | fhonor
[18:46] <BobZhome> k, thanks for the info
[18:47] <dannel> sucks nokia killed qt jambi :-/
[18:47] <transpissed1> can someone jelp me get the new transmission version and the current blocklist(s)?
[18:48] <transpissed1> using 10.4 lucid
[18:48] <milamber> transpissed1: i was only half following, didn't someone tell you to use the ppa? is that where you are at?
[18:48] <CharminTheMoose> I'm having a problem firefox and X's sloppy focus. The menus (File, Edit, View) and the right click menu just disappear when mousing over them, so I can't click on anything in those menus, though surfing the web works fine, for the most part.
[18:49] <BluesKaj> escott, duno if you have tried 12.04 with nvidia , but there are a lot fewer graphics problems in general than with the 11.10 alpha/beta and none whatsover so far on 12.04 with nvidia
[18:49] <transpissed1> milamber, ? half what?
[18:49] <milamber> transpissed1: half following the conversation you were having
[18:49] <transpissed1> ok
[18:49] <escott> BluesKaj, then tell that to oneliner. i dont use nvidia
[18:49] <fidel> searching for an audio-player which allows live pitching (speed up/down). any recommendation?
[18:50] <fidel> i see alsa-player-gtk offers that - but its not really a user-friendly player
[18:50] <escott> fidel, mplayer can do that
[18:50] <transpissed1> using 10.4 lucid, tried to update from transm. 1.93 to 2.42 to solve the problem. only made it to 2.4, and there is still the problem that the prog doesnt load the blocklist, milamber
[18:50] <fidel> escott: at the end i am looking for a user-friendly gui - the backend can for sure be mplayer or anything else
[18:50] <bigblowhard> if I'm really happy with my installation of ubuntu 10.04 32 bit, but I just upgraded from 2 gigs to 8 gigs of memory, should I just upgrade to 10.04 64bit, or should I go to the latest 11.10 64bit?
[18:51] <theadmin> bigblowhard: Depends on whether you want Unity or not :D
[18:51] <transpissed1> milamber, made it to transmission 2.04, not 2.4
[18:51] <fidel> bigblowhard: both should work pretty out of the box
[18:51] <bigblowhard> i don't think I like unity
[18:51] <ppcblaster> Trying to get PVR 350 going to watch and record tv ntsc, need help
[18:51] <escott> bigblowhard, without pae you wont see more than 4gigs so you might as well use the 64bit
[18:51] <fidel> bigblowhard: nobody forces you to use unity ;)
[18:51] <BluesKaj> escott, well since you mentioned nvidia and 12.04 in a negative sense , I thought i'd mention my nvidia on 12.04 experience to you.
[18:52] <ppcblaster> Trying to get PVR 350 going to watch and record tv ntsc, need help
[18:52] <transpissed1> milamber, in several blogs i found somewhere a ppa which i added bit i think it didnt have any effect...
[18:52] <escott> BluesKaj, i didnt say anything negative about it. i said if it isn't working for 11.10 wait until 12.04. how is that negative. please talk to oneliner if you have useful information for him
[18:52] <Scarra3> How do you run a .run file im gonna install the drivers from nvidias website
[18:52] <is_null> hi all, can anybody confirm this bug on oneiric: click "sound" icon in topbar, click banshee "play", try a "media" volume up/down keyboard combination
[18:52] <milamber> transpissed1: ok, let me look into it
[18:53] <transpissed1> appreciate your time for this, milamber
[18:53] <is_null> it should not work
[18:53] <semitones-irssi> how do you view multiple pages side by side in open office?
[18:53] <dannel> semitones-irssi, you can't
[18:53] <dannel> best you can do is copy the document and open it twice :-/
[18:53] <dannel> i think open office has less features than word 97..
[18:53] <is_null> the dropdown menu seems to have focus over the shell and intercepts volume up/down keypresses, but fails to adjust volume
[18:54] <is_null> dannel: how much of word 97 features do you use ? 10% ?!!!
[18:54] <fidel> ;)
[18:54] <escott> dannel, semitones-irssi The automatic view layout displays pages side by side, as many as the zoom factor allows.
[18:55] <semitones-irssi> dannel: :(
[18:55] <semitones-irssi> are you sure
[18:55] <semitones-irssi> escott: how do yo do it?
[18:55] <dannel> semitones-irssi, if you mean page split view
[18:55] <dannel> split page*
[18:56] <milamber> transpissed1: it looks like if you want 2.4 you are going to have to build it from source
[18:56] <BluesKaj> escott, , I tried to help one liner ... he only replied about trying nomodeset , but nothing about my nouveau blacklist suggestion
[18:56] <Flannel> semitones-irssi, dannel: The internet seems to think that as of 3.0 you can, by just reducing the zoom percentage of the document.
[18:56] <aguitel> can i write to usb  xubuntu-11.10-desktop-i386.iso     with dd command ?
[18:56] <escott> semitones-irssi, dannel set it to automatic view and then set the zoom to a lower factor
[18:56] <milamber> the highest ppa i found listed was 2.3
[18:57] <escott> semitones-irssi, dannel its possible its a libreoffice feature thats not in openoffice but it works in my libreoffice
[18:57] <hivemind> hi
[18:57] <mongy> Anyone know about the 'multicore:1' setting in the .devede config file, if its 0 or 1 for yes/no or if that's the number of cpu's ?
[18:57] <semitones-irssi> Flannel: escott : dannel : I just figured it out. Nowhere in the settings does it say "automatic layout" but if you look near the zoom at the bottom, there's one page, two pages, and two facing pages. YOu have to click on the two side-by-side pages, and then it works.
[18:57] <milamber> transpissed1: also is there a feature needed that makes the current version unusable?
[18:57] <caesar_> what vbox software will support usb devices?
[18:58] <semitones-irssi> also it doesn't give any indication that it will do what you think it will until you actually have two pages
[18:58] <dannel> semitones-irssi, but they must be successive pages?
[18:58] <transpissed1> milamber, cwhat feature could this be??
[18:58] <semitones-irssi> dannel: yeah, i guess. that's what I wanted anyway
[18:58] <dannel> ok
[18:58] <milamber> transpissed1: i am just wondering why you need 2.4 instead of what you do have?
[18:58] <semitones-irssi> :)
[18:59] <transpissed1> milamber, well first of all i wanted to use the blocklists, for which the url changed , and i cant reconfigure the stuff
[18:59] <aguitel> can i write to usb  xubuntu-11.10-desktop-i386.iso     with dd command ?
[19:00] <Ashfame> I am trying to install Ubuntu on my new laptop but somethng messed up related to partitions. Can anyone help?
