[01:31] <Andre_Gondim> Hi, I am from Ubuntu Brazil, and I need to be a admin from our official channel, how may I do it?
[01:32] <bazhang> try /msg chanserv access #ubuntu-br list and contact the founder +f flag iirc
[01:33] <Andre_Gondim> thanks
[01:38] <jpds> Andre_Gondim: BTW, we fixed br.archive yesterday.
[01:39] <jpds> Andre_Gondim: Mirror issues should be reported to mirrors --at-- ubuntu.com or #ubuntu-mirrors (where the br. admin hangs out too).
[01:39] <Andre_Gondim> I saw that, I just need to know if this happens again, where can I report it?
[01:39] <Andre_Gondim> hmmmmm, thanks
[03:18] <nhandler> bazhang: FYI, +F (capital F) is Founder, but people with +f can add other people to the access list (but they can only grant flags that they themself have)
[05:54] <vorian> nhandler: can you set a ban on me in #fn and then change my cloak to ubuntu/member
[05:54] <vorian> thanks
[12:50] <pehden> how can i install ubottu

[23:27] <edbian> amaroks, http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/how-to-reset-unity-launcher-icons-or.html
[23:27] <mongy> deli, prntscrn
[23:27]  * Tech-1 goes for coffee brb
[23:27] <Boreeas> e2b04836: Should be, yes
[23:28] <paulsomebody> Okay, I did put the disc out of the drive; but it is still making noise, like trying to spin the drive. And the red light is shining inside, so that probably means that the laser is still on.
[23:28] <paulsomebody> I will reboot and see what happens.
[23:28] <e2b04836> Boreeas: well i'd check the permissions on the directory to make sure the ftp user can actually read from them
[23:28] <paulsomebody> Thanks for the help, everyone.
[23:28] <edbian> deli, xfce4-screenshootern:
[23:28] <edbian> deli, at it to your panel or run it in the term
[23:29] <edbian> deli, without that : at the end of course
[23:29] <edbian> add it to*
[23:30] <Boreeas> e2b04836: Well, I'm trying to read from my home directory. Would be horrible if I didn't have read permissions there :D
[23:32] <edbian> deli, ?
[23:33] <e2b04836> Boreeas: try this: http://www.nodans.com/index.cfm/2008/4/24/Fix-for-Filezilla-Failing-to-Retrieve-Directory-Listing other than that i have no idea
[23:33] <deli> edbian, it is taking some time, sorry
[23:33] <edbian> deli, that's ok :)
[23:35] <Boreeas> e2b04836: Hmm, didn't work :/
[23:35] <Boreeas> Thanks for your time, though
[23:36] <paulsomebody> Okay, thank you everyone. Simply turning the power off and the booting up fixed the issue after I removed the disc.
[23:36] <Tech-1> cool
[23:36] <Tech-1> throw that disc away
[23:36] <deli> edbian, cant mount the usb in the comp, but there is another problem, after closing and reopening gparted , now another partition of the hd has an exclamation mark
[23:37] <paulsomebody> It appears I have been doing it wrong before, judging from the fact that rebooting did not help.
[23:37] <edbian> deli, sounds like the drive is failing,  I suggest getting your data off it using the live USB
[23:37] <paulsomebody> Tech-1: I am not superstitious, so I checked it on the other laptop. It is simply unreadable.
[23:37] <Tech-1> next time, trun the machine off, to remove the cd
[23:37] <paulsomebody> Tech-1: Yes, sounds much better then what I did.
[23:38] <Tech-1> your good 2 go
[23:38] <paulsomebody> No, that still leaves me unable to login.
[23:38] <allu2> Hello, i tried installing ubuntu on 500GB external HD with tough i can just plug it in and use my home system anywhere i go, well works just perfectly on the eeepc i used to install the system on the hd but when i try on my desktop grub doesn't seem to start, how i can solve this and boot the full installation on any computer ubuntu runs on?
[23:38] <deli> edbian, no way to fix it?( this one doesnt have the check greyed out)
[23:38] <edbian> deli, try to check
[23:38] <edbian> deli, try to repair
[23:39] <edbian> deli, but backing up your data is the priority
[23:39] <paulsomebody> allu2: You need to go to BIOS and specify from which drive to boot.
[23:39] <edbian> deli, booting it, checking it, and repairing it may damage it worse
[23:39] <paulsomebody> allu2: That must be DEL or F8 key while rebooting.
[23:39] <allu2> paulsomebody: i selected the HD but was greeted by blinkin promp with no progress
[23:39] <allu2> paulsomebody: f8, and i selected the right HD, and double checked :)
[23:39] <paulsomebody> allu2: I think you must simply wait for a minute.
[23:39] <paulsomebody> allu2: While at the blinking promt.
[23:39] <allu2> i went to wash my theeths :P
[23:40] <Tech-1> lol
[23:40] <edbian> deli, how old is this hdd?
[23:40] <edbian> hdd's usually last around 5 - 7 years
[23:40] <allu2> paulsomebody: it shouldn't take more then 30 for grub to start
[23:40] <deli> edbian, 2 years maybe or less
[23:40] <allu2> ubuntu starting i can understand if it takes a while but i can't get to grub
[23:40] <paulsomebody> allu2: I know, but sometimes it does. Happened to me before.
[23:40] <edbian> deli, mmm, I could be wrong and it just needs to be repartitioned.  In either case you'll want to get the data backed up
[23:41] <deli> edbian, check and repair finished(in only 28 sec) but the exclamation mark is still there
[23:41] <paulsomebody> allu2: Are you sure that you have written GRUB on that external disk, not on the MBR of your laptop?
[23:41] <insectatorious> 'buntu 11.10 using Gnome Shell. Any way to clear all notifications on the bottom right side of the screen?
[23:41] <edbian> deli, right click, read information, tell me what it says
[23:41] <allu2> paulsomebody: i recall doing that, how i check again?
[23:41] <_chaos_> ok im fukn trippin where the heck can i customize this ubuntu 11.10 interface, white bright shiit dont cut it for me...  I am not sure, better ask someone else.
[23:44] <tab1293> i installed node.js in ubuntu by sudo apt-get install nodejs nodejs-dev nodejs-dbg but i cant use npm install socket.io to install socket.io because ubuntu doesnt recognize npm as a command. anyone know how to install npm?
[23:44] <edbian> allu2, the easy way or the hard way?
[23:44] <Ben64> So, when I run TF2 or even just move a window around the screen, X uses a lot of CPU. Is there anything I can do to lessen it? It messes with my fps in game.
[23:44] <allu2> edbian: fast way :)
[23:44] <paulsomebody> _chaos_: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/12/unity-tweak-tool-myunity-gets-new-look-coming-to-ubuntu-software-centre/
[23:45] <paulsomebody> Okay, I have been nice; can someone please help me login now?
[23:45] <edbian> allu2, boot that hdd (does it boot?)
[23:45] <allu2> Ben64: nvidia proprietary?
[23:45] <Ben64> allu2: yep
[23:45] <edbian> paulsomebody, still can't login?
[23:45] <allu2> edbian: boots on the eeepc
[23:45] <edbian> allu2, how many hdd's do you have?
[23:45] <deli> edbian, file sys: ext4,  size 150 gb. flags: boot, path: dev/sda1, status: not mounted, label (empty), uuid(empty), first sector: 2048, last sector: 310505741, total sec: 310503424, warning: failed to change to directory'.'(stale nfs file handle)(twice, unbable to read contents of file system
[23:45] <Ben64> but my laptop on intel uses a lot of CPU while moving a window around too
[23:45] <paulsomebody> edbian: No, but we fixed the rest of the issues.
[23:45] <allu2> Ben64: try running "metacity --replace" before playing games, worked miracles for me
[23:45] <edbian> deli, stale nfs file handle huh.  googling that...
[23:45] <allu2> edbian: one on eeepc, one external, one on my desktop computer
[23:46] <deli> edbian,firefox
[23:46] <paulsomebody> _chaos_: Tell me if it worked for you.
[23:46] <Tech-1> which eeeps you have
[23:46] <edbian> deli, sorry?
[23:46] <Tech-1> eeepc
[23:47] <deli> edbian, wrong keyboard again sorry
[23:47] <allu2> Tech-1: uh 1001PX i think
[23:47] <hiexpo> merry x-mas all
[23:47] <Tech-1> ok
[23:47] <allu2> hiexpo: merry x-mas
[23:48] <mongy> merry xmas in 12 mins
[23:48] <allu2> is it possible to install multiple proprietary graphics drivers? if i'm moving the HD around different HW would love to have drivers for all sorts of cards
[23:48] <allu2> nother trick to show off my friends ;)
[23:48] <edbian> deli, what partition are we talking about?
[23:48] <paulsomebody> mongy: That strongly depends on the timezone, you know. :)
[23:48] <insectatorious> 'buntu 11.10 using Gnome Shell. Any way to clear all notifications on the bottom right side of the screen?
[23:48] <edbian> deli, sudo e2fsck -p /dev/sd<letter>
[23:49] <allu2> mongy: 1:48 am here :D
[23:49] <hiexpo> nope only one at atime allu2
[23:49] <edbian> deli, sorry, sudo e2fsck -p /dev/sd<letter><number>
[23:49] <edbian> deli, You can get the letter / number by using gparted
[23:49] <allu2> edbian: so how i see if the grub is installed on the correct device?
[23:49] <edbian> deli, this command attempts to fix the partition in question.
[23:49] <edbian> allu2, boot that device
[23:49] <edbian> allu2, if grub is installed you will see grub / linux
[23:50] <deli> edbian, it says clean
[23:50] <hiexpo> hola edbian
[23:50] <paulsomebody> There must be connected issue - I can neither shut down or reboot from LightDM, nor login.
[23:50] <edbian> hiexpo, hi
[23:50] <edbian> deli, do it on all the partitions that had issues
[23:50] <edbian> deli, restart gparted
[23:50] <edbian> deli, see if the triangles go away
[23:51] <edbian> deli, You can run sudo e2fsck -p -v  /dev/sd<letter><number>  to get more info (add -v)
[23:51] <paulsomebody> edbian: I am using an encrypted /home, may this be relevant?
[23:51] <allu2> edbian: ok, but this doesn't make sense, since the grub when i boot from external HD shows the ubuntu on the external HD and on the eeepc, but when i boot from eeepc hd i see only eeepc ubuntu as option, henche grub should be installed on the external hd, yet still it doesn't load on my desktop computer
[23:51] <edbian> paulsomebody, maybe
[23:51] <deli> edbian the other one says bad magic number in super- block while trying to open /dev/sda5
[23:52] <edbian> deli, did it fix that issue?
[23:52] <edbian> deli, or just freak
[23:52] <deli> edbian, it says you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock
[23:52] <edbian> deli, how many partitions you got?  (don't check non-ext partitions)
[23:52] <deli> edbian 3
[23:52] <allu2> is there possibly some "simpler" boot loader that would automaticly load the ubuntu on the HD ?
[23:53] <allu2> syslinux?
[23:54] <somasin> whats the name of a gui tool to select a wireless network so I can start it from the command line?
[23:55] <aBound> Hey all is it wise to upgrade to a newer kernel in Ubuntu?
[23:55] <hiexpo> allu2, i think ubuntu uses grub2
[23:55]  * allu2 tried reinstalling grub, goes to see if it helped
[23:55] <allu2> hiexpo: ment grub2, sorry
[23:56] <aBound> Definitely, seems like Ubuntu 11.10 is unstable.
[23:56]  * allu2 watches promp blinking
[23:56] <allu2> aBound: how so ?
[23:57] <hiexpo> < thats why hiexpo is still  using 10.04
[23:58] <allu2> ubuntu 11.10 has been very stable for me :S
[23:58] <aBound> Had nothing but problems with my new System76 laptop. From the nVidia binary driver to the lightdm causing a mountall: disconnected from plymouth bug to my login screen not appearing.
[23:58] <aBound> Reinstalled it about four times already.
[23:58] <allu2> tough well.. i've manage to make debian stable unstable :S
[23:58] <insectatorious> 'buntu 11.10 using Gnome Shell. Any way to clear all notifications on the bottom right side of the screen?
[23:59] <aBound> I can't say if it's the kernel I'm using or what have you.
[23:59] <hiexpo> aBound, use 10.04 it is lts
[23:59] <aBound> hiexpo, what kernel you running on your system?
