[04:02] <cordoval> ActionParsnip: now it is checking disks
[04:02] <matthewgreyling_> ohsix: I didn't, no, but some places it tells me I'm using some sort of staging driver
[04:02] <ohsix> roothorick: wat
[04:02] <roothorick> complexity: disabling desktop effects should help though
[04:02] <cordoval> not sure what happened, this is a new asus g73jw
[04:02] <ohsix> matthewgreyling_: ahh, what wifi hw is it?
[04:02] <cordoval> power under my fingertips, it should work without problems
[04:02] <osmosis> intel audio microphone not working on ubuntu 11.04. help please.
[04:02] <roothorick> ohsix: you mean Natty will run nicely without tweaks on a machine from 2003?
[04:02] <ohsix> matthewgreyling_: is it one of those rtl8197 things
[04:03] <battle_warrior> ohsix just throwing this question out.. you really dont have to answer if its stupid..... is it feasably possible to put ubuntu.... any kind or any kind of linux on a htc android her., and make it work like a ubuntu or linux deskto[
[04:03] <cordoval> now it just shows the ubuntu logo but it is taking its time
[04:03] <ohsix> roothorick: that is different from the system requirements, at least
[04:03] <cordoval> I guess I should let it sit there for how long though?
[04:03] <battle_warrior> hero*
[04:03] <cordoval> this is my first bad experience with ubuntu and I have 2 years on it
[04:03] <ohsix> battle_warrior: didn't someone say you could already but it'd be a lot of work and pretty much nobody would help you?
[04:04] <matthewgreyling_> ohsix: I think that's what it's trying to use, yes.  I see r8712u as the driver.  It's a USB wireless card that I'm using
[04:04] <ActionParsnip> cordoval: did this all start after an upgrade from maverick to natty?
[04:04] <matthewgreyling_> ohsix: Belkin, I believe
[04:04] <roothorick> ohsix: WinXP will run nicely on machines that simply don't have and cannot have enough RAM to run recent Ubuntu comfortably
[04:04] <cordoval> ActionParsnip: no, this machine is unlike others a fresh install of natty first day it was out, then upgraded across the week
[04:04] <cordoval> then today my internet was slow so I checked atheros problem
[04:04] <ohsix> matthewgreyling_: hm i don't think i have any advice i can offer at the moment, aside from exchanging it if you can, not sure of a timeframe on the situation being all that much different with respect to that card either
[04:04] <cordoval> then I read to load the backports
[04:04] <cordoval> for natty
[04:05] <cordoval> I only loaded 2 backports
[04:05] <cordoval> the general and its requirement
[04:05] <cordoval> and all of a sudden boom
[04:05] <cordoval> g
[04:05] <ActionParsnip> cordoval: freaky
[04:05] <cordoval> so the natty backports messed it up, and now I have uninstalled the nvidia driver
[04:05] <ActionParsnip> cordoval: do you get a desktop?
[04:06] <cordoval> ActionParsnip: it is an asus g73jw laptop
[04:06] <cordoval> stealth as its name is
[04:06] <cordoval> has 2 turbines in the rear part to let the smoke out
[04:06] <cordoval> it is a work laptop I use it as desktop of course
[04:06] <cordoval> this thing cannot move
[04:06] <roothorick> ohsix: ergo complaints of "slow" and "Windows was better" on machines that are just too flipping old
[04:06] <cordoval> heave it is a plane
[04:07] <cordoval> heavy
[04:07] <ActionParsnip> cordoval: its more power than all my systems combined, and more
[04:07] <cordoval> ActionParsnip: please help me bring it back up to life
[04:07] <cordoval> this came with windows 7 but I wipe it off the first day
[04:07] <cordoval> I knew ubuntu was going to be better
[04:07] <ActionParsnip> cordoval: all I can think is to boot to liveCD, chroot to the installed OS and then remove / upgrade / fix the OS
[04:08] <cordoval> so basically reinstall?
[04:08] <mrmrscheese> before i switch over to ubuntu i should mention that i have vmware set to treat the ubuntu station indepent from my computers internet
[04:08] <cordoval> how could i fix the OS?
[04:08] <mrmrscheese> so would sudo dhclient eth0 still work
[04:08] <cordoval> ActionParsnip: if you can help me with the fixing part that would be great
[04:08] <cordoval> the ubuntu live cd should run without problems
[04:10] <sivakumar> hai to evry one

[04:12] <ActionParsnip> sivakumar: use a pastebin, imagine if everyone in the channel pasted like that, it'd be unusable.
[04:13] <ohsix> we'll never know until we try
[04:13] <ActionParsnip> wow folks still use mirc...freaky
[04:14] <sivakumar> while installing anything through terminal it is showing this error like this .........http://paste.ubuntu.com/606735/
[04:14] <magn3ts> Why does the default profile that ships on the disc have history in Firefox?
[04:15] <magn3ts> This is hilarious. Every time I install Natty and go to the Chrome download page, the links are already visited.
[04:15] <ouyes> hi all I am now in ubuntu 11.04, unify, how to search a file contains the content "do_exit" ? the engine just search the file names
[04:15] <magn3ts> And it's the same links each time.
[04:15] <sivakumar> FloodBot1, ,ActionParsnip thak u
[04:16] <magn3ts> seriously, fire up a VM, install Natty, google "Chrome dev channel" and scroll to the linux links, 3 of them will be purple even though you've never clickde them before.
[04:16] <ActionParsnip> sivakumar: where are you installing the java from?
[04:16] <ActionParsnip> magn3ts: not seen that, I always use the daily build ppa
[04:17] <sivakumar> ActionParsnip, through terminal
[04:17] <magn3ts> y
[04:17] <ActionParsnip> magn3ts: and firefox gets removed before it gets chance to do anything at all
[04:17] <ActionParsnip> magn3ts: 1.  Daily build has nice alpha features :)
[04:17] <cordoval> ActionParsnip: I am on the trying live cd what should I do
[04:17] <cordoval> ?
[04:17] <magn3ts> ActionParsnip, the dev channel installs a google specific deb repo that I actually find more trustworthy than the PPA. The Canary build is also good for testing nightlies as it keeps a completely separate profile.
[04:17] <ActionParsnip> sivakumar: no, from what repository?
[04:17] <cordoval> ActionParsnip: I have some good info backed up on that machine
[04:17] <magn3ts> I love the dev channel, it's not even fair, I've only had it crash once ever, it's more stable than firefox-4-stable is.
[04:18] <ActionParsnip> magn3ts: the daily build is built by a script once a day. It's all I use
[04:18] <ActionParsnip> cordoval: is it anywhere else?
[04:18] <cordoval> ActionParsnip: nope
[04:18] <ohsix> magn3ts: look at the computed styles :D
[04:18] <cordoval> part but not all
[04:18] <ohsix> magn3ts: they're a:visited here too
[04:18] <t3k_no> infobit: anything else??? I am able to get to the grubs options to select OS...
[04:18] <ohsix> post install, never having clicked on it
[04:18] <ActionParsnip> cordoval: you can use liveCD to copy the data off you need
[04:19] <cordoval> ActionParsnip: I will check and see if it kills me or not
[04:19] <magn3ts> ohsix, yeah! weird right!
[04:19] <ActionParsnip> magn3ts: I have a script to setup new builds including pulling off packages I don't want or need and installing nice PPAs and adding apps I do use
[04:19] <magn3ts> I think it's hilarious.
[04:19] <ohsix> shrug
[04:19] <ohsix> not too weird
[04:19] <battle_warrior> Ohsix  do you know why when tring to run synaptic it gives you a prompt asking for root password whenever i enter the right pass it says  pass is inncorect..
[04:19] <ActionParsnip> cordoval: the liveCD will be able to access the internal partitions easily
[04:19] <battle_warrior> When i know  its the right pass!
[04:19] <ohsix> battle_warrior: it's not asking for your root password
[04:20] <cordoval> sure the problem is if you are thinkng on a reinstall or a fix
[04:20] <magn3ts> ActionParsnip, it bothers me everytime I set up Ubuntu. If Ubuntu One could sync my appearance settings, DPI, and Unity dock... I would shell out a lot of money for it.
[04:20] <battle_warrior> what is it asking then...
[04:20] <cordoval> ActionParsnip: i wish you could help me with the fix so I can save on time
[04:20] <magn3ts> I hate duplicating config stuff.
[04:20] <battle_warrior> i thougth running synaptic... requires root
[04:20] <ActionParsnip> magn3ts: it is interestnig. You could log a bug if you wanted
[04:20] <KM0201> !sudo | battle_warrior
[04:20] <matthewgreyling_> ohsix: I just went through another panic/freeze and don't know what help I may have missed.  Is there somewhere helpful online I can look at?  I feel like I'll be disconnected from IRC often with this issue
[04:20] <ActionParsnip> battle_warrior: no, you can use gksudo synaptic   and it will run, no root account used
[04:21] <matthewgreyling_> ohsix: or should I just scour the wiki?
[04:21] <ohsix> magn3ts: your dpi as stored would be most assuredly wrong unless the monitor can tell the display driver what the display geometry is
[04:21] <ohsix> matthewgreyling_: the people that added the staging driver probably already know about the panic you're running into
[04:22] <ohsix> matthewgreyling_: are you using 11.04? try linux-backports-modules-net-natty-generic
[04:22] <sivakumar> ActionParsnip, synaptic manager
[04:22] <ActionParsnip> sivakumar: no spaces in linux commands dude
[04:23] <fizyplankton> i need serious help. i typed in "compiz" into a terminal (dont ask why), and now the display is all screwed up. the title bar of all the applications are missing, the panels at the top and bottom of the screen are missing, and all the windows are behaving really oddly. i tried ^c-ing the compiz terminal, but that only helped a little bit. is there any way i can fix the display without rebooting my comp? i had some importa
[04:23] <battle_warrior> ty ty ty ty
[04:23] <battle_warrior> it works!
[04:23] <battle_warrior> ]omg you aguys are aweosme
[04:23] <seanp2k> OK, I'm going crazy here...in my old system I had the let "command" key remapped to Alt_L but I can't seem to get that to work now
[04:23] <matthewgreyling_> ohsix: Yep, I'm on Natty.  I will try that, and some more Googling and see what I can come up with.  Thanks for the help!
[04:23] <ohsix> fizyplankton: start another window manager
[04:23] <philipballew> fizyplankton are you running unity>
[04:23] <seanp2k> it was like xmodmap -e '133 = Super_L' or something...but I had no .xmodmap in my old homedir (which I made a backup of)
[04:23] <cintrikz> ntrikz
[04:24] <fizyplankton> ohsix: how?
[04:24] <battle_warrior> OK nvm............ it says the pass is inocret when doing gdksynaptic!
[04:24] <seanp2k> i've been playing with this for the past hour and can't get anything working despite my best googling
[04:24] <fizyplankton> philipballew: not sure what that is, so i guess not
[04:24] <battle_warrior> i meant gdksudo synaptic
[04:24] <ohsix> matthewgreyling_: like i said i don't know much about the timeframe but it'd probably be months before it's practically useful, if you can exchange it that'd be prudent :]
[04:24] <ohsix> fizyplankton: anotherwm --replace, you basically killed compiz too, but you can restart it with compiz --replace as well
[04:25] <ActionParsnip> battle_warrior: use: gksudo software-center   you'll be ok
[04:25] <ActionParsnip> stupid american spelling
[04:25] <fizyplankton> ohsix: is it fine if i run that command from within screen?
[04:25] <sivakumar> ActionParsnip, sorry i cant get u.....actually  my friend had downloaded this java packages and give to me from his laptop....from that i directly installed it throug commands in terminal
[04:25] <matthewgreyling_> ohsix: haha I'll have to look into it, might be forced to just deal with it for the time being
[04:25] <ohsix> fizyplankton: ehh, as long as it knows what DISPLAY is, and you don't exit the screen session i guess
[04:26] <ActionParsnip> sivakumar: yes but the packages are coming from a server, did you enable the partner repo to get the packages visible
[04:26] <fizyplankton> ohsix: i have 2 monitors.........
[04:26] <ActionParsnip> sivakumar: are you using natty?
[04:26] <ActionParsnip> sivakumar: or maverick at all?
[04:27] <barking_maverick> lol
[04:27] <sivakumar> ActionParsnip, no i didnt anable the partner report.....i am using 10.04
[04:27] <Gnea> !nfs
[04:27] <indy__> hello everybody
[04:27] <ActionParsnip> sivakumar: http://www.multimediaboom.com/how-to-install-java-in-ubuntu-11-04-natty-narwhal-ppa/
[04:27] <indy__> which is the good room to ask something about php and jquery?
[04:27] <ActionParsnip> sivakumar: has a lucid branch
[04:28] <t3k_no> damnit... ubuntu is stuck and won't log in or boot... it is ubuntu 10.10 dual boot wit win vista on a compaq laptop... I do have access to GRUB
[04:28] <sivakumar> ActionParsnip, i am using 10.04 not natty
[04:28] <cordoval> ActionParsnip: i am on live cd
[04:29] <barking_maverick> ]:=>  mooooooo
[04:29] <cordoval> so no way to repair the system?
[04:29] <cordoval> right from here?
[04:29] <cordoval> I just have to save data and reinstall?
[04:29] <cordoval> I wish at least to try something
[04:29] <cordoval> or all is lost?
[04:29] <xrfang> I am trying xephyr following this guide: http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/xephyr.html
[04:29] <fizyplankton> ohsix: it says annotherwm command not found. what should i put as the window manager?
[04:29] <xrfang> my question is, can I use xephyr via direct tcp or udp communication WITHOUT ssh?
[04:29] <xrfang> thanks
[04:30] <ActionParsnip> cordoval: you can chroot and repair
[04:30] <ohsix> xrfang: you can but it's really nto a good idea
[04:30] <fizyplankton> ohsix: it says annotherwm command not found. what should i put as the window manager?
[04:30] <Tiamat__> Since upgrading some packages (including kernel, etc.) in 10.04 lts, my current wireless is totally unreliable.  Was rock solid, still is in windows 7, now traffic grinds to a halt.  Even with 90% reception, it will occassionally eventually reconnect, but it's a problem.  Should I upgrade to latest non-LTS, run an older kernel, troubleshoot otherwise?  FWIW it's a laptop Intel iwlagn (should be maybe iwlwifi 5100).
[04:30] <cordoval> repair how
[04:30] <ohsix> fizyplankton: compiz or metacity, whatever
[04:30] <ActionParsnip> cordoval: linux very fixable even if its been near totaly gutted you can rebuild
[04:31] <ActionParsnip> cordoval: websearch about chrooting in ubuntu....
[04:31] <xrfang> ohsix, the only purpose is security.  in our company lan, we hope NOT to provide any unnecessary SSH holes. how to do that please?
[04:31] <cordoval> ActionParsnip: can you tip me on the commands please?
[04:31] <cordoval> not in chrooting but in how to fix it
[04:31] <xrfang> and of course, if this is not a good idea, could you explain why?
[04:31] <ohsix> xrfang: so instead you propose to offer open display server "holes" ? :D
[04:32] <xrfang> ohsix, the setup is, there are 3 machines: A, B, C, A is your desktop, C is the workstation you want to access
[04:32] <xrfang> B is the gateway, direct communication between A and C must be disabled.
[04:32] <cordoval> hmm i think I get a cross on the foledrs i could have something
[04:32] <cordoval> hmm
[04:32] <cordoval> it seems i have nothing here
[04:32] <xrfang> so if there is an ssh tunnel, virtually you can do anything
[04:32] <ActionParsnip> cordoval: I'm at work, the internet will tell you more than anyone can. Why don't you try researching a bit
[04:32] <fizyplankton> ohsix: what happens if i close out of the terminal window that i metacity --replace-ed? btw, i didnt run it through screen
[04:33] <xrfang> ABC are all behind corporate firewall, generally considered secured from the outside world
[04:33] <edyn> ok now my grub menu is ok. but i cant boot into windows, any suggestions for common mistakes?
[04:33] <xrfang> any ideas, ohsix?
[04:33] <cordoval> reinstalling ...
[04:34] <wlewis> guys quick question I was upgrading from 10.x to 11.s today and had a power outtage now I can't boot into the os only the recovery console any sugestions
[04:34] <cordoval> rats some folders are unreadable
[04:34] <cordoval> so I don't know what is in there
[04:35] <cordoval> they are gone right?
[04:35] <wlewis> I do apologize as well I am logged into irc through my blackberry so I may get disconnected.
[04:35] <fizyplankton> ohsix: what happens if i close out of the terminal window that i metacity --replace-ed? btw, i didnt run it through screen
[04:36] <Tiamat__> wlewis, if it were *me*, first thing I would do is boot from CD/DVD and copy your essential documents to another network location, or to a flash drive, and test that your backup is solid.  Then, being conservative, I would install scratch to be safe.
[04:37] <edyn> What would be a common winXP grub entry?
[04:37] <fizyplankton> edyn: like just the menu entry from the GRUB main menu?
[04:38] <wlewis> thanks guys I was hoping there was a way to resume the install from the command line but meeh
[04:39] <fizyplankton> edyn: like just the menu entry from the GRUB main menu?

[04:41] <_pg_> is there anyone here who has installed piratebox?  2) i already did the merge stuff on my local repo with a sane program
[04:43] <multipass> ActionParsnip: i have access to the root, but all efforts have been fail to get music on there
[04:43] <twb> airtonix: [merge] tool = something else
[04:43] <kompdepan> look
[04:43] <airtonix> vim makes me want to destroy things
[04:43] <twb> airtonix: IIRC
[04:43] <multipass> ActionParsnip: yeah agreed, it is garbage, i want a droid
[04:43] <airtonix> twb: in .hg/hgrc ?

[04:44] <kompdepan> ping
[04:44] <KM0201> solteiro2: for crying out loud, stop doing that...
[04:44] <fizyplankton> why not use nano or pico?
[04:44] <twb> fizyplankton: because nano's functionality is limited, and pico is non-Free, and furthermore vi is a required part of a POSIX-compliant system, whereas nano/pico are not guaranteed to be installed.

[04:45] <KM0201> !war
[04:45] <KM0201> hmm
[04:45] <Tiamat__> I recently tried nano on a large file on a remote machine that didn't have emacs installed, and it hung forever on a big xml file.  It is great for small stuff, but not so much for complicated files, always.
[04:45] <qjqqyy> solteiro2, else you can try editing ur sources.list file
[04:45] <airtonix> fizyplankton: the default merge tool is some kind of ncurses version of the gnome meld tool... looks like it's based on vim
[04:45] <twb> Tiamat__: I recommend teco
[04:45] <qjqqyy> solteiro2, upload it to pastebin or something and paste URL here
[04:45] <airtonix> fizyplankton: so i'm not sure you could make it use nano instead
[04:46] <Tiamat__> twb:  I'll try it.  :)
[04:46] <twb> Tiamat__: unlike Emacs, teco can open files larger than 2^(<arch size> - 3)
[04:46] <Tiamat__> I love trying out editors.  (I'm sick that way.)
[04:46] <solteiro2> qjqqyy, ok! sorry
[04:46] <twb> This is because teco can edit files on a per-punch card basis, so you only open one punch card worth of the file at a time
[04:46] <solteiro2> ;/
[04:47] <ActionParsnip> twb: nice
[04:47] <Tiamat__> twb, does is do keyboard macros and stuff?
[04:47] <oldman129> any help for tablet pc
[04:47] <ActionParsnip> oldman129: details please
[04:47] <Tiamat__> s/is/it/
[04:47] <oldman129> want to put ubuntu on 10.2 table pc no rj45
[04:48] <oldman129> port only wifi
[04:48] <twb> Tiamat__: Emacs was originally written in TECO, so yeah
[04:48] <Tiamat__> cool.
[04:49] <cordoval> everything is on home right?
[04:50] <cordoval> i think so
[04:50] <cordoval> thanks ubuntu
[04:50] <ActionParsnip> oldman129: you can boot to usb and install the OS. You don't need a network connection to install Ubuntu if you use the desktop or alternate ISO
[04:50] <ActionParsnip> oldman129: or if the tablet has CD you can burn a CD
[04:51] <xrfang> while I have 2 monitors how can I specify on which screen a program shall start?
[04:51] <twb> xrfang: DISPLAY=:0.1 foo
[04:52] <Tiamat__> Since upgrading some packages (including kernel, etc.) in 10.04 lts, my current wireless is totally unreliable.  Was rock solid, still is in windows 7, now traffic grinds to a halt.  Even with 90% reception, it will occasionally eventually reconnect, but it's a problem.  Should I upgrade to latest non-LTS, run an older kernel, troubleshoot otherwise?  FWIW it's a laptop using Intel iwlagn (should be maybe iwlwifi 5100).
[04:52] <oldman129> had it install but cannot get wifi ti work no drivers cd does not have soft ware to get wifi to work was trying 10.10
[04:52] <Kriss-|-> when install for example python2.7 where would it be located ? because i can't seem to find it in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin
[04:53] <kb3gtn> Kriss-|-: maybe /usr/share/doc/python2.7 ?
[04:53] <xrfang> thanks twb
[04:53] <ActionParsnip> Kriss-|-: try:  which python2.7
[04:53] <c001> hey guys is there a guest account that can be enabled that comes with gnome for ubuntu 10.10?  i believe so but i'm not 100% sure.
[04:53] <Kriss-|-> thank you ActionParsnip :)
[04:54] <ActionParsnip> Kriss-|-: try tab completing stuff, if its in $PATH it wil complete :)
[04:54] <xrfang> twb: it seems not working
[04:54] <xrfang> the program I want to run is Xephyr
[04:54] <ActionParsnip> c001: check in user admin. you can always make one
[04:54] <xrfang> Xephyr -ac -nr -fullscreen +xinerama -reset -terminate 2> /dev/null :1
[04:54] <c001> I noticed that if I logged in as a user on the system, i can select "guest' in gnome in the upper right side.  and then if you check /var/log/auth.log you see all this stuff about a guest user.  like it creates a temporary home directory in /tmp for the guest user when it spawns a guest desktop.
[04:54] <xrfang> if I do this: DISPLAY=:0.1 Xephyr -ac -nr -fullscreen +xinerama -reset -terminate 2> /dev/null :1
[04:54] <xrfang> it does not start
[04:54] <c001> it just seems shady
[04:54] <Kriss-|-> very odd, i can't seem to be able to enter that directory (I'm on a dedicated server, if that would have anything to do with it)
[04:55] <magepsycho> whats the best Resolution x per dots per inch?
[04:55] <ActionParsnip> c001: I'd create users an account each, gives you an audit rather than a generic guest account with many users
[04:56] <c001> i know i agree too im just curious about a default installation of ubuntu 10.10 with gnome running.  i dont think it creates an account i think its built into the desktop
[04:56] <c001> and if you select it, it creates a guest account on the fly
[04:56] <litropy> is there a chan for psx (playstation emulation)?
[04:56] <Kriss-|-> ahh, nevermind, i had permission error
[04:57] <c001> it just seems really crappy.  because it creates a home directory in /tmp/guest-<random string>
[04:59] <ActionParsnip> litropy: try #psx or somesuch, there may be #emulators too
[04:59] <ohsix> c001: why is that crappy
[04:59] <davel_> howdy... is this the right place to get help installin 10.10 on a Macbookpro8,2?
[05:00] <ohsix> magepsycho: there is no best, though quite a few people would probably prefer higher dpi's
[05:01] <davel_> I boot, and get: initramfs: unable to find a medium containing a live filesystem
[05:02] <c001> ohsix: what I mean is, if I'm not mistaken...  with two clicks from gnome desktop, it provides the ability to easily create a user account on the fly with a home directory that is essentially hidden from where it's expected to be.
[05:02] <ohsix> it's not expected to be in /home, they're unique for each login
[05:02] <cordoval> when copying files frm chroot how do I refer to my other usb external drive?
[05:02] <cordoval> rats!
[05:03] <ohsix> it doesn't create the account either, it just creates a skeleton home directory on login
[05:03] <cordoval> my usb hard disk is mounted on live cd
[05:03] <cordoval> howeve now that I am on chroot I am on the system
[05:03] <cordoval> old system
[05:03] <c001> ohsix: does this default account also get added to sudoers?  can it su to root?
[05:03] <cordoval> how do i refer the usb hard disk?
[05:03] <cordoval> ActionParsnip:
[05:03] <ohsix> c001: you could look for yourself if you really knew anything about how users are done :]
[05:04] <ohsix> c001: or you could just try it
[05:04] <c001> ohhhhhhhhhhhh
[05:04] <c001> heheheh
[05:04] <c001> i cant from here im running ubuntu 11 and it doesnt have the guest account feature
[05:04] <cordoval> --bind?
[05:04] <cordoval> but how
[05:05] <Nautilus> I'm on 8.04LTS and need to compile the php library --with-gd but have never complied anything in *nix.  Any pointers to related link that wil help me?
[05:05] <gartral> is it safe too purge unity from the install after switcjing too classic?
[05:05] <ohsix> c001: it does still have it
[05:05] <gartral> !8.04
[05:05] <c001> I didnt see it available in my upper right corner drop down menu where you see the user accounts in a list.
[05:06] <thegoodcushion> oh crikey
[05:06] <cordoval> rats!
[05:06] <thegoodcushion> 8.04 support ended yesterday
[05:06] <cordoval> help!
[05:06] <gartral> is it safe too purge unity from the install after switcjing too classic?
[05:06] <Nautilus> yea, i know what version i'm on...
[05:06] <davel_> ^^^^^^ macbook pro install help?
[05:07] <tntc> davel_: which macbook pro?
[05:07] <KM0201> davel_: one fo the really new ones?
[05:07] <davel_> really new 8,2
[05:07] <KM0201> davel_: all i can tell you, all sorts of fun.. visit #xubuntu and ask bin_bash   she's almost an expert on the problems you'll face
[05:08] <magepsycho> guys can you help me
[05:09] <davel_> i'll  try that. thanks. I boot, and get: initramfs: unable to find a medium containing a live filesystem
[05:09] <thegoodcushion> what's your problem, magepsycho
[05:09] <cordoval> how to reference or bind a usb external disk mounted on live cd from chroot?
[05:09] <magepsycho> my dimension is: 1360 x 768
[05:09] <magepsycho> what should be the DPI?
[05:09] <KM0201> davel_: you'll have to ask her how she got arround that, i believe she used a CD, and a USB (as weird as that sounds)
[05:09] <SpaceDuck_>  I'm unable to sudo after upgrading to 11.04 - It says Authentication failure, but I know the password is correct
[05:10] <Tiamat__> 72
[05:11] <magepsycho> my dimension is: 1360 x 768 , what should be the DPI?
[05:12] <ohsix> magepsycho: it's dots per inch, measure the size of the displayed area and guess; or look at the EDID for the display, or find the panel model number and look for its datasheet
[05:12] <cordoval> rats now I don't see my home folder
[05:12] <cordoval> the contents
[05:12] <cordoval> i did the bind
[05:12] <cordoval> how to unbind
[05:12] <gartral> bind what?
[05:13] <cordoval> gartral: I am trying to bind so that I can copy from my chroot to usb hard disk
[05:13] <cordoval> how do I do that
[05:13]  * gartral shurgs
[05:14] <magepsycho> whats the best value
[05:14] <Moriartynz> Can anybody help me with advice on how to make skype and the eyetoy like eachother?  Puhlease?
[05:14] <magepsycho> i am unable to find guys
[05:14] <magepsycho> i have some blurry font issue in 11.04
[05:14] <magepsycho> i think i should downgrade to 10.10
[05:14] <Moriartynz> Mage, check your screen reso;ution for one of it's "native" settings
[05:14] <qjqqyy> magepsycho: install your latest drivers
[05:15] <Itqan> hey what is apt-get and how do i use it?
[05:15] <qjqqyy> magepsycho: and their respective kernel modules
[05:15] <qjqqyy> Itqan: it is a method used to install software
[05:15] <cordoval> okI was able to unmount it
[05:16] <Itqan> can i use it to install dependencies without redownloading the software?
[05:16] <qjqqyy> Itqan: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/installingsoftware
[05:16] <cordoval> there must be a way to copy files though
[05:16] <ohsix> magepsycho: the real resolution of that panel is probably 1366x768, not 1360, the edid is probably wrong, changing the dpi is going to do nothing
[05:16] <fakewaffle> i have my itunes library on my ubuntu server, and am running rsync on my macbook to get the updates from the server, and it is really slow, evaluating each file, why??
[05:16] <qjqqyy> Itqan, why would u need dependencies when u dont want the software?
[05:16] <tensorpudding> Itqan: it's a program which installs software, it's essentially a terminal-interface version of the software center
[05:16] <cordoval> I do sudo chroot
[05:16] <fakewaffle> i followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/rsync#Rsync Daemon, thingking it would make a difference
[05:16] <cordoval> and on media see andy,s
[05:16] <cordoval> I need to see my usbhard disk there
[05:16] <cordoval> to move files
[05:17] <fakewaffle> doesnt rysnc compare the folders first, then if it is different, go deeper??
[05:17] <tntc> cordoval: oh, it sounds like you need to do something like an old gentoo chroot.
[05:17] <cordoval> what do you mean
[05:18] <cordoval> I do a chroot and then I am in the system
[05:18] <Itqan> qjqqyy no i have a .deb file of blender i cant install it cos it say dependencies are missing
[05:18] <cordoval> but I need to copy files out
[05:18] <cordoval> how do I do that
[05:18] <cordoval> I don't see the stuff mounted there
[05:18] <ohsix> fakewaffle: rsync is only really a win when there are changes inside sets of files, you should copy them all at least once, but it probably still won't be satisfactory for you
[05:18] <cordoval> because it is mounted in the live cd and not in the chroot
[05:18] <Itqan> so can i just download the dependncies someway without redownloasding it?
[05:18] <cordoval> makes sense?
[05:18] <cordoval> you tell me if makes sense!!!
[05:18] <tntc> cordoval: during the gentoo install, they have you bind some directories so that you can access dev and stuff. that'd allow you to mount devices inside the chroot
[05:18] <cordoval> right i tried that
[05:18] <qjqqyy> Itqan: there should be blender in the repos
[05:18] <cordoval> oh
[05:19] <cordoval> so I have to mount the other three directories?
[05:19] <cordoval> hmm
[05:19] <qjqqyy> Itqan: just sudo apt-get blender without the deb will do
[05:19] <fakewaffle> ohsix: i have copied them all form the server to my macbook using scp, so they are identical, is that what you mean?
[05:19] <Itqan> and that would get all dependencies too?
[05:19] <fakewaffle> ohsix: i run rsync right now, after scp, and its super slow
[05:20] <tntc> cordoval: you would have to exit the chroot to do it, I think, and then re-enter the chroot
[05:20] <cordoval> ok done
[05:20] <cordoval> thanks that is working I think
[05:20] <cordoval> ok reentering you tell me what is next
[05:20] <tntc> cordoval: wait, what did you mount?
[05:20] <cordoval> dev, proc, and sys
[05:20] <tensorpudding> Itqan: why do you want to install it via the .deb? where did you get the .deb?
[05:20] <cordoval> with --bind
[05:20] <cordoval> so now I am in chroot now what?
[05:20] <Itqan> from blender.org
[05:21] <cordoval> rats! please help me now
[05:21] <tensorpudding> Itqan: it's better to install from the software center
[05:21] <cordoval> should i try mounting ?
[05:21] <Itqan> i got the deb cos i cant download form my homes internet
[05:21] <cordoval> what shall i do?
[05:21] <tntc> cordoval: is the external drive connected already?
[05:21] <cordoval> yes
[05:21] <cordoval> it is already mounted too
[05:21] <cordoval> but on live cd
[05:21] <Itqan> my homes ets too slow to download that
[05:21] <tntc> cordoval: what's the device name?
[05:21] <Itqan> *net
[05:21] <cordoval> USB HD?
[05:21] <tensorpudding> Itqan: you still need to get the dependencies
[05:22] <tntc> cordoval: it'd be something like /dev/sdb or /dev/sda or something like that
[05:22] <tensorpudding> Itqan: and for some reason USC isn't smart enough to find them when you try to install from a .deb
[05:22] <Itqan> can i somehow just download blender with all dependencoes needed from somewhere else?
[05:22] <tntc> cordoval: if you open another terminal in the livecd, you can type "mount" and it'll show you the device name
[05:22] <cordoval> sda5 I think!
[05:22] <cordoval> oh
[05:22] <tntc> ok! good! and that's where you want to put the files, right?
[05:22] <Itqan> like every thing zipped all together?
[05:23] <cordoval> sdc1
[05:23] <cordoval> got it
[05:23] <cordoval> yes
[05:23] <tntc> cordoval: what you do then is, inside the chroot, mount /dev/sdc1 to some folder and then you can just copy stuff to it
[05:23] <tensorpudding> Itqan: There is a tool called apt-offline which can do this
[05:24] <Andorin> Question: Is there a command line command to see which mounted disks are /dev/sdb, /dev/sdc, etc etc?
[05:24] <tntc> Andorin: actually mounted? just "mount"
[05:24] <tensorpudding> Itqan: It requires you to be using an Ubuntu system to fetch the packages though
[05:24] <tensorpudding> Itqan: well, wait, not necessarily
[05:24] <Itqan> yay
[05:24] <Itqan> how?
[05:25] <cordoval> rats! trying now
[05:25] <Andorin> tntc: Thank you
[05:25] <tntc> Andorin: for all partitions on all disks, I think it's "sudo fdisk -l"
[05:25] <tntc> Andorin: np :)
[05:25] <cordoval> after I finish how to unmount it?
[05:25] <edyn> hi, i'm still duelling with grub2 (1.99) from ubuntu 11.04. I cant start my windows (on /dev/sd5 without boot flag). Any idea?
[05:25] <Andorin> Oh, that one is MUCH more informative
[05:25] <magn3ts> ~java
[05:25] <magn3ts> !java
[05:25] <tensorpudding> Itqan: it's been ported to windows
[05:25] <tntc> cordoval: just "umount /dev/sdc1"
[05:26] <Itqan> loli m already using it for last 3 yrs on windows
[05:26] <magn3ts> java6 is still the recommended? When do we expect the OpenJDK pkgs to be up to par?
[05:26] <Itqan> i want to use it on ubuntu
[05:26] <Itqan> cos i want to use the software-gl script
[05:26] <Itqan> which is linux only
[05:26] <Itqan> wont run without mesa
[05:26] <tntc> Andorin: yeah, fdisk is pretty awesome. lets you partition and stuff, though it's complicated to use. If you're lazy and want a semi-gui partitioner, check out cfdisk.
[05:27] <cordoval> rats now tring
[05:28] <Andorin> tntc: Yeah, I'm actually using fdisk to reset a flash drive onto which I dd'd a Debian .iso, but I'd forgotten it displayed disk information as well
[05:28] <tntc> cordoval: why aren't you just mounting the host disk from the liveCD and copying the folder directly? why bother with the chroot?
[05:28] <cordoval> tntc: ask ActionParsnip: he was the one that started all this mess
[05:28] <cordoval> !!
[05:29] <tntc> Andorin: I've started being lazy and using the Disk Utility applicatoin that ships with ubuntu :)
[05:29] <magn3ts> fdisk atctually does partitioning?
[05:29] <cordoval> oh no ActionParsnip: he is right
[05:29] <magn3ts> yikes, you're better off with cfdisk at the command line if you ask me
[05:29] <ubuntu> In 11.04, my wireless doesn't work anymore. It simply can't find any networks. In 10.10 and all previous versions it worked great. Now in both ubuntu/kubuntu 11.04, it says "no scan results"
[05:29] <cordoval> tntc: I could not read some folders from mounted disk
[05:29] <tensorpudding> Itqan: no, i mean apt-offline was ported to windows
[05:29] <magn3ts> a much better utility.
[05:29] <tensorpudding> Itqan: so you can fetch packages from windows
[05:29] <cordoval> tntc: the folders were not accessible
[05:29] <cordoval> how can I solve that
[05:30] <tntc> cordoval: what do you mean "not accessible"?
[05:30] <Itqan> wow
[05:30] <tntc> did you encrypt your home directory?
[05:30] <Itqan> where is it?
[05:30] <Zelozelos> im trying to change my grub background. all i keep getting is a purple screen any ideas?
[05:30] <Itqan> tensorpudding can u pls gimme a link
[05:30] <Itqan> :P
[05:30] <tensorpudding> Itqan: well, i'm trying to find out where it is
[05:30] <cordoval> I saw an X
[05:31] <cordoval> not sure if I encripted it
[05:31] <cordoval> I doubt
[05:31] <tntc> cordoval: oh, that's just permissions.
[05:31] <tensorpudding> Itqan: it's developed by debian, but alioth is really badly laid out, and their website is a mess
[05:31] <Itqan> tensorpudding thanxx :)
[05:31] <cordoval> it was some foledrs
[05:31] <cordoval> yeah permissions
[05:31] <tntc> cordoval: I hate to say it, but that doesn't require a chroot.
[05:31] <tntc> just sudo.
[05:31] <Itqan> tensorpudding lol i know
[05:31] <tensorpudding> Itqan: there might be an issue that you'll have to add the ubuntu repos by hand
[05:31] <tensorpudding> Itqan: http://apt-offline.alioth.debian.org/ is the page though
[05:32] <cordoval> rats!
[05:32] <cordoval> rats! and CATS TOO!!!
[05:32] <cordoval> how though nautilus would not give access
[05:32] <tntc> cordoval: via the command line
[05:32] <Itqan> tensorpudding add repos by hand?
[05:32] <cordoval> should I inmount before leavin chroot?
[05:32] <tntc> cordoval: yes.
[05:32] <Itqan> sorry i just startyed using linux few days ago
[05:33] <tntc> cordoval: how much data are you trying to copy?
[05:33] <tntc> are you just copying your whole home directory or something?
[05:33] <cordoval> just some folders
[05:33] <cordoval> it is ndone
[05:34] <cordoval> doyou know how to repair my system?
[05:34] <cordoval> I remove the nvidia driver then I could not get back in
[05:34] <tntc> oh, like it wouldn't launch the gui?
[05:34] <cordoval> I am planning on wiping everythin again but if you could avoid it please say now
[05:34] <cordoval> right
[05:34] <tntc> cordoval: couldn't you just use ubuntu classic? this is 11.04, right?
[05:34] <tensorpudding> Itqan: sorry
[05:34] <tntc> did GDM start? where you'd get the login screen?
[05:34] <tensorpudding> Itqan: they have like no documentation on their page
[05:35] <cordoval> I tried several things blacklisting nvidia driver, then removing nvidia driver, all in natty, beforehand i had enabled the backports for natty two, that is why I started having problems because I wanted to solve a network atheros slow problem
[05:35] <cordoval> it would not give me the grub screen either
[05:35] <cordoval> not even with esc it went to a black screen
[05:35] <Itqan> tensorpudding np i try get it working myself :) ty
[05:35] <cordoval> please speak up now before I reinstall
[05:35] <tntc> cordoval: grub screen? well, it sounds like your system is pretty broken. I think a fresh start may be a good idea
[05:35] <cordoval> tell me commands to fix this nvidia mess
[05:36] <tntc> cordoval: The reinstall is probably shorter.
[05:36] <cordoval> rats! and CATS!!!
[05:36] <cordoval> it is not shorter
[05:36] <tntc> cordoval: well, lets see if we can get it sorted without reinstalling then
[05:36] <k_sze> Transmission BT won't launch. Any idea?
[05:36] <cordoval> tntc: too late
[05:36] <tntc> cordoval: are you using a different machine to chat on IRC?
[05:37] <tntc> cordoval: did you finish copying all of your files already?
[05:37] <tntc> cordoval: you seem to be doing a lot of rushing around. What's the hurry?
[05:37] <cordoval> I have two, an hp pavilion 2GBRAM, centrino duo, and the asus g73jw 8GBRAM, 1T 4 core
[05:37] <cordoval> I need to work on framework development php
[05:37] <tensorpudding> Itqan: http://www.debian-administration.org/article/Offline_Package_Management_for_APT is a rough idea on how to use it
[05:37] <cordoval> rats! these are supposed to be my development machines
[05:38] <cordoval> I need to get going RATS AND CATS!!!
[05:38] <tntc> cordoval: calm down. if you rush, you will make mistakes, and it'll take longer.
[05:38] <cordoval> I got to solve the atheros problem, i can't navigate slow on natty
[05:38] <cordoval> that is the main problem, that I think it will come back
[05:38] <cordoval> having a wireless atheros
[05:39] <cordoval> natty does not behave well I think
[05:39] <cordoval> I did nt know how to install the backports and messed up my system
[05:39] <KM0201> cordoval: natty is fine.. my guess is, your hardware doesn't cooperate with it.
[05:39] <Itqan> tensorpudding thanxx
[05:39] <Itqan> :)
[05:39] <cordoval> can you please help me solving the wireless or even the regular internet slow down problem?
[05:39] <needlez> hey, quick question, I have libssl 0.9.8 installed but the package i want to install requires libssl 1.0.0 or higher, where can i get copy of that package??
[05:40] <Itqan> gtg guyz thanxx for help bye
[05:40] <cordoval> KM0201: back off you are trying to discourage me
[05:40] <tntc> cordoval: possibly. which wireless card is it? did you get all your files from the drive already?
[05:40] <cordoval> uses the atheros 9k driver
[05:40] <KM0201> cordoval: no i'm not, i'm jus ttelling you the problem is not ubuntu.. complain to hardware manufacturers who don't release linux drivers
[05:40] <cordoval> I got everything out
[05:40] <cordoval> new ubuntu natty is installing
[05:40] <cordoval> however how to solve the atheros problem, i will paste the links
[05:41] <needlez> hey, quick question, I have libssl 0.9.8 installed but the package i want to install requires libssl 1.0.0 or higher, where can i get copy of that package??
[05:43] <cordoval> tntc: oh these links
[05:43] <cordoval> I will tell you the atheros number asap
[05:43] <cordoval> hold on a sec
[05:44] <tntc> KM0201: I'm still annoyed with NVidia for the whole "Oh, we won't support optimus on linux. Xorg is too complicated. It's nearly impossible." thing. Of course, some hacker managed to get it working, and now I'm using bumblebee from his github repo :) The only thing I am missing is the ability to shut off the discrete card, and he says he'll be working on that in the coming weeks
[05:44] <needlez> hey, quick question, I have libssl 0.9.8 installed but the package i want to install requires libssl 1.0.0 or higher, where can i get copy of that package??
[05:44] <cordoval> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1438064
[05:45] <r3m> burp
[05:45] <roccity_> needlez, upgrading a package such as openssl to a dev version can cause damage to your system if there are other programs that require libssl-0.9.8
[05:46] <roccity_> needlez, but you can try the ubuntu package repo
[05:46] <ohsix> tntc: there is already support for the vga switcheroo stuff; they probably mean doing it without a reboot, which they aren't going to do
[05:46] <cordoval> rats! that tntc: problem made me want to switch back to windows 7 seen that in windows this is lighting fast internet
[05:46] <tntc> cordoval: I'm reluctant to follow that guide because it seems to cause problems with graphics, which is the problem you had
[05:46] <cordoval> oh
[05:46] <cordoval> then what shall I try?
[05:46] <roccity_> needlez, http://packages.ubuntu.com/
[05:46] <tntc> cordoval: dunno... :(
[05:46] <needlez> yes, alot of my programs require that, ok, so then if I cant upgrade that is there a way to use the ubuntu 11.04 repo in bt5? so i can get pyrit?
[05:46] <tntc> ohsix: there's some acpi_call thing that lets you turn off the gpu without reboot, and that's exactly what he plans to do.
[05:47] <gerrin> just installed 11.04, and my processor is having issues, is there anyway i can revert back to an earlier release without doing a fresh install
[05:47] <ActionParsnip> needlez: backtrack isnt supported here
[05:47] <cordoval> ahh this ubuntu installation freezes on the map
[05:47] <ohsix> tntc: but X won't know or care about it without restarting it
[05:47] <cordoval> rats!
[05:47] <tntc> ohsix: currently it locks up my system while using bumblebee, but I think he intends to impliment it in bumblebee differently
[05:47] <ohsix> the "without a reboot" part is the vga switcheroo; but that doesn't mean the display server will switch on the fly
[05:47] <tntc> ohsix: oh, that's easy: he's using a seperate instance of X with virtualGL or some such thing.
[05:47] <cordoval> what shall I try when map freezes
[05:48] <roccity_> needlez, have you tried the backtrack forums? I know that it is now based on Ubuntu but they may have their own patches for packages
[05:48] <cordoval> in ubuntu install?
[05:48] <tntc> ohsix: it's weird, but it should work without having to restart X :)
[05:48] <cordoval> it is like always I have to be supercareful with the buttons
[05:49] <cordoval> the samefreezes at the start if i click several times try ubuntu
[05:49] <ohsix> tntc: that's still restarting it
[05:49] <zach_> I remember using a command that listed all of the modes your wireless adapter supported (managed, master, permiscuious, etc.), but I can't remember the name of it.  Can anyone refresh my memory?
[05:49] <ActionParsnip> zach_: sudo lshw -C network
[05:49] <cordoval> I now gave Ctrl+Alt+Del
[05:49] <ohsix> anyways, the point was to explain exactly what they won't do; and that support for vga arbitration is already there
[05:49] <cordoval> and it suddlently changed
[05:49] <cordoval> i think it is time to kill this guy
[05:49] <ohsix> zach_: "iw"
[05:50] <cordoval> going no where
[05:50] <ohsix> zach_: it can s how the phy and dev properties, fromt he sounds of it you want to see the phy
[05:50] <heaisfhgaisrjdfp> Hello
[05:50] <cordoval> it says update_release_notes_label()
[05:50] <cordoval> like it is having problems
[05:50] <cordoval> with something
[05:50] <heaisfhgaisrjdfp> how do i switch back to the gnome layout on ubuntu
[05:50] <cordoval> rats!
[05:50] <roccity_> zach_, iw list?
[05:51] <IdleOne> !classic | heaisfhgaisrjdfp
[05:51] <cordoval> frustrating
[05:51] <cordoval> how do I kill superkill the installer?
[05:51] <heaisfhgaisrjdfp> oh
[05:51] <heaisfhgaisrjdfp> thanks
[05:52] <cordoval> ok again
[05:52] <tntc> ohsix: I think it's still "restarting X" to an extent, but it won't require, say, logging out and logging back in.
[05:52] <cordoval> i had to superkill it with the on off button
[05:52] <cordoval> i will be careful this itme
[05:52] <cordoval> time rats
[05:52] <tntc> ohsix: It'll only be the second, NVidia-only X server. So when the card isn't in use, that one is down.
[05:52] <tntc> I think?
[05:52] <zach_> ActionParsnip, I don't see it here.  ohsix, roccity_, I don't remember installing anything like that, but I'll give it a try.  it should give me what I need.
[05:53] <cordoval> tntc: do you have ideas on the atheros problem then, how could I solve it without breaking or what can I try?
[05:53] <jrmcm> I need some help with a wireless adapter. this is some debug output http://paste.ubuntu.com/606757/
[05:53] <roccity_> zach_, using that command gave me managed and monitor as modes
[05:53] <tntc> cordoval: unfortunately, not really. I don't have an aetheros wireless card. Do you have another card you could swap in?
[05:54] <zach_> roccity_: which command?  iw or lshw?
[05:54] <Mr19> hrmm, /, /boot, swap, /home, am I missing something?
[05:54] <acershang> no
[05:54] <Mr19> acershang, no to me?
[05:54] <cordoval> I could swap my intel card, from the hp, not sure how accessible it would be though
[05:54] <cordoval> do you know?
[05:54] <roccity_> zach_, iw list
[05:55] <cordoval> are they compatible or standard to swap?
[05:55] <tntc> cordoval: they should both be mini-pci
[05:55] <cordoval> oh ok
[05:55] <magepsycho> guys how to downgrade to 10.10 from 11.04?
[05:55] <roccity_> zach_, you may have to install it. I don't think that it is installed by default
[05:55] <cordoval> hmm, not sure if i maimed one and heal the other
[05:55] <tntc> and they're usually underneath the main bottom panel. Intel works pretty well with Linux too...
[05:55] <magepsycho> i have installed 11,04 in separate drive
[05:55] <zach_> roccity_, it shows IBSS, managed, and monitor for my card.
[05:55] <cordoval> atheros is trash? perhaps that atheros well configured can be faster than this one
[05:55] <acershang> Mr19,yes
[05:55] <Mr19> acershang, Thank you.
[05:56] <tntc> cordoval: atheros isn't trash, it's just not well supported on linux. Is one machine linux and the other windows?
[05:56] <acershang> my pleasure
[05:56] <jrmcm> I need some help with a wireless adapter. this is some debug output http://paste.ubuntu.com/606757/  the usb adapter shows up but i cant connect to any networks
[05:56] <tntc> cordoval: because if that's the case, put the ath in the windows box.
[05:56] <Mr19> You know what's trash?
[05:56] <Mr19> Ralink.
[05:56] <zach_> roccity_, okay I got it.  Thanks!
[05:56] <magepsycho> guys how to downgrade to 10.10 from 11.04? FYI, i have installed 11,04 in separate drive
[05:56] <cordoval> both are ubunt
[05:57] <ohsix> my ath5k is gr8 on the loonix
[05:57] <roccity_> zach_, no worries
[05:57] <ohsix> mac80211 for life
[05:57] <tntc> ohsix: I think this is an ath9k or something...
[05:57] <cordoval> rats! but that is for the wireless
[05:57] <cordoval> notice that I have attached the eth0
[05:57] <tntc> cordoval: wait, the /ethernet/ is slow?
[05:57] <cordoval> both
[05:57] <ohsix> tntc: ath5k is also atheros, unless by "it's" you meant only the ath9k instead of all of their devices?
[05:58] <cordoval> for some reason this is ubuntu man
[05:58] <cordoval> i am telling you
[05:58] <tntc> ohsix: oh, yeah, I meant the ath9k
[05:58] <tntc> ohsix: I should've been more specific.
[05:58] <cordoval> yes
[05:58] <cordoval> all was slow
[05:58] <tntc> cordoval: so wireless AND wired were slow?
[05:59] <ohsix> tntc: oh ok, sorry
[05:59] <cordoval> I am in 9k
[05:59] <cordoval> yes both were slow
[05:59] <tntc> ohsix: I'm not convinced it's his wireless card anyhow
[05:59] <tntc> cordoval: yeah, that sounds like a totally different problem
[05:59] <cordoval> now again freeze on map for where are you install
[05:59] <cordoval> something must be wrong
[05:59] <cordoval> should i let it rest?
[05:59] <litropy> So ... let me get something straight. I'm no longer running X11. I'm running Wayland. Which is why I'm getting this: error while loading shared libraries: libgtkglext-x11-1.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[05:59] <cordoval> or dump and start install agian?
[05:59] <litropy> right?
[05:59] <tntc> cordoval: are you installing fro ma CD, or a flash drive?
[05:59] <cordoval> CD
[06:00] <Bangkalan> •¤%•¤•%¤•%¤•%
[06:00] <tntc> cordoval: it might be hanging because your CD is bad. If you can, try installing from a flash drive maybe.
[06:00] <Zelozelos> how can i duplicate a user's account into a new one?
[06:00] <jrmcm> I need some help with a wireless adapter. this is some debug output http://paste.ubuntu.com/606757/  the usb adapter shows up but i cant connect to any networks
[06:00] <Zelozelos> w the same settings and everything
[06:00] <litropy> would sudo apt-get install libgtkglext1 hurt?
[06:00] <Mr19> Is gnome 3 the default Gnome on Ubuntu 11?
[06:01] <cordoval> no
[06:01] <Mr19> and if not, is it worth getting Gnome 3?
[06:01] <tntc> Mr19: I think they switched to Unity.
[06:01] <cordoval> just woke up suddently and is going forward
[06:01] <cordoval> just needed to wait
[06:01] <cordoval> but it is strange
[06:01] <tntc> cordoval: your machine seems to have many problems.
[06:01] <Mr19> tntc, I see. I was planning on  removing Unity.
[06:01] <cordoval> it is new
[06:01] <cordoval> asus g73jw powerful
[06:02] <cordoval> it is huge
[06:02] <cordoval> 18''
[06:02] <cordoval> plus a 24'' monitor
[06:02] <cordoval> LG
[06:02] <FloodBot1> cordoval: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:02] <cordoval> ok now installing
[06:02] <uRock> #ubuntuforums-mods
[06:02] <magepsycho> guys how to downgrade to 10.10 from 11.04? FYI, i have installed 11,04 in separate drive
[06:02] <genjix> what has happened to the system tray in unity? it does not work.
[06:02] <tntc> magepsycho: AFAIK, you can't downgrade.
[06:02] <IdleOne> !downgrade | magepsycho
[06:02] <cordoval> ok so it is going to finish soon
[06:02] <cordoval> I did not set upgrades on
[06:03] <IdleOne> magepsycho: that means, clean install.
[06:03] <cordoval> nor third party
[06:03] <Mr19> wait
[06:03] <Mr19> so with unity
[06:03] <magepsycho> how to downgrade then
[06:03] <Mr19> I don't need Synapse?
[06:03] <bazhang> cordoval, please stop flooding
[06:03] <magepsycho> oh
[06:03] <cordoval> what shall I do then? i will try the wireless, so one of the things i did not know tntc: is how to test speed
[06:03] <magepsycho> how to uninstall 11.04?
[06:03] <FloodBot1> cordoval: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:03] <cordoval> how to test speed I went to speedtest.net but it was not enough
[06:03] <magepsycho> how to uninstall ubuntu?
[06:03] <IdleOne> magepsycho: I told you how
[06:03] <magepsycho> clean install? but don
[06:04] <tntc> cordoval: What do you mean "not enough"?
[06:04] <magepsycho> dont we need toformat the ubuntu drive then clean install?
[06:04] <cordoval> tntc: because it was not telling me the exact numbers, because it gave me similar results with my other laptop but i noticed that it was super slow
[06:04] <Mr19> magepsycho, sounds like you want to format your hard drive?
[06:04] <magepsycho> whts the procedure for removing ubuntu?
[06:04] <cordoval> so I needed to resolve how slower was, because it should have been much faster
[06:04] <bazhang> magepsycho, install over it
[06:04] <Mr19> or what bazhang said.
[06:05] <magepsycho> i see.... so there is no need to format first
[06:05] <tntc> cordoval: should've been much faster on what, speedtest.net? or doing something else?
[06:05] <acershang> be careful of the part of where the grub installed
[06:05] <cordoval> tntc: how should i measure speed or test for good communication?
[06:05] <bazhang> magepsycho, the installer will do all that for you
[06:05] <cordoval> loading pages and stuff
[06:05] <cordoval> my other laptop was lighting fast
[06:05] <magepsycho> great
[06:05] <Mr19> magepsycho, usually, when you install over it, the OS will format your hard drive and use a fs that supports it, usually Windows uses NTFS
[06:05] <bazhang> cordoval, please stop repeating and flooding.
[06:05] <IdleOne> !enter | cordoval
[06:05] <cordoval> bazhang: I amnot repeating
[06:06] <cordoval> I am trying hard
[06:06] <cordoval> don't be spammy yourselves
[06:06] <magepsycho> to be frank guys.. 11.04 was not supported by my PC also it's Unity is not good enough
[06:06] <bazhang> cordoval, not hard enough
[06:06] <Mr19> What happened to Open Office O.o?
[06:06] <cordoval> let tntc: help me
[06:06] <bazhang> Mr19, replace by libreoffice
[06:06] <cordoval> if you are not using it yourselves let other people use it
[06:06] <Mr19> Oh
[06:06] <tntc> cordoval: you just used 3 lines when one would suffice.  It really hurts the flow of the channel.
[06:06] <k_sze> Mr19: because Oracle is EVIL!!!... XD
[06:06] <cordoval> ok I will try harder
[06:07] <Severian> Mr19, OpenOffice was forked to become LibreOffice.  Natty uses the fork, along with several other Linux distros.
[06:07] <tntc> cordoval: You're complaining of general slowness, which doesn't seem to make sense. Are you sure your not having problems because your internet connection is being flakey?
[06:07] <Mr19> May I ask, if unity has a Search, is it still worth getting Synapse/Gnome-do
[06:08] <Bangkalan> Oneiric Ocelot is come . . ? ?
[06:08] <bazhang> Bangkalan, no
[06:10] <Severian> Mr19, install both and see which gives you the results you prefer.  The nicest thing about the built in search is that it is built in.  So assembly required.
[06:10]  * cordoval talking off line with tntc
[06:10] <Severian> I see Natty does not have the dontzap package.  Is there a preferred way to enable the Ctrl-Alt-Bkspace functionality?
[06:13] <ohsix> Severian: you can still drop a file with the config fragment in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d or just in /etc/X11/xorg.conf even
[06:13] <gigatropolis> upgraded VIrtualBox vm to 11.04 but Unity was disabled. Enabled 3D exceleration but ubuntu always comes up in Gnome even though it is logging in as ubuntu on loggin screen. How can I get desktop to log in on Unity?
[06:13] <bazhang> gigatropolis, in a vm? dont think thats possible
[06:14] <gigatropolis> I see it being done. The 3D eceleration needed to be enabled, but now it's stuck booting as gnome. How to let Ubuntu know I want to boot in unity?
[06:15] <Snakkah> Hi. Is there a way to have an application in the Startup Applications preferences startup minimized? The application in question is Mozilla Thunderbird.
[06:15] <gigatropolis> Login screen has "ubuntu" not "ubuntu classic"
[06:15] <Snakkah> I'm running Ubuntu 10.04
[06:16] <litropy> I need to kill pulseaudio, and it needs to stay dead until I tell it to start.
[06:16] <Severian> ohsix, thanks.  I'll try that.  I thought that might be the way and wanted to check if anyone had a preferred method.  I am documenting some tweaks for a user group newsletter.
[06:16] <ohsix> Severian: well that's probably all dontzap did, whatever it was
[06:17] <Mr19> Awesome
[06:18] <Mr19> AMD finally fixed the tearing <3
[06:18] <Severian> ohsix, I think you are right.  I always just edited the file myself.  I was thinking of using dontzap because it was easy and safe to recommend.  There is less chance of someone messing up their video.
[06:20] <Yusuke> whats wrong with my Ubuntu 10.04 , sometimes the windows just crashed ( no minimize,maximize, exit button i mean )
[06:20] <rd> c
[06:21] <Severian> Yusuke, Do you really mean 10.04 or do you mean 11.04?
[06:21] <Yusuke> 10.04
[06:21] <Yusuke> netbook remix edition
[06:22] <Severian> Yusuke, OK.  I don't know about that, then.  I have seen what you described during the beta testing of 11.04, but not in the final 11.04.
[06:22] <cardiel> I need help compiling custmo kernel, where can i find a guide?
[06:23] <PseudoGou> Does anyone know where the DSDT is located in 11.04?
[06:23] <Mr19> I'll have to admit
[06:23] <Mr19> Unity looks ugly in Triple Monitor setup >.>
[06:23] <PseudoGou> has /proc/acpi been deprecated and by what?
[06:23] <PseudoGou> Unity is ugly, period.  Use KDE.
[06:24] <MattEdward`> I prefer how maverick meerkat looked over 11.04
[06:24] <Snakkah> Hi. Is there a way to have an application in the Startup Applications preferences startup minimized? The application in question is Mozilla Thunderbird. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04. No one to answer this? Ugh.
[06:24] <Mr19> hmm, I got Stopping System V runlevel compatibility
[06:24] <PseudoGou> You're not going to get an answer with that attitude.
[06:25] <cardiel> which packages do i need to compile kernel?
[06:26] <ohsix> PseudoGou: haha kde :D
[06:26] <ohsix> PseudoGou: they're still available somewhere in /sys; but you hsould just use acpidump, that's what most people will have you use if you need to provide them information anyways
[06:26] <PseudoGou> What's so funny?
[06:26] <ohsix> PseudoGou: oh you weren't making a joke? my condolences
[06:27] <PseudoGou> Condolences!?  What in the world do you have against KDE?
[06:27] <PseudoGou> The latest one with Dolphin is great
[06:27] <ohsix> /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/
[06:29] <PseudoGou> OHSIX:  I thank you, it's there
[06:29] <PseudoGou> What I need it for is to recompile it
[06:29] <PseudoGou> There's a thread about it at the forums
[06:29] <PseudoGou> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1036051
[06:29] <Severian> cardiel, I'd start with looking at google.  The first link I got was https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile
[06:29] <PseudoGou> ohsix:  Do you know if LMSENSORS is uneccesary by the new /sys/ HW monitoring structure?
[06:29] <ohsix> PseudoGou: iasl; chances are you're doing something very wrong if you need to do anything with them
[06:30] <ohsix> lmsensors talks to hw devices with sensors; only acpi generally has temperature/hw monitoring stuff in /sys; which doesn't include those sensors
[06:30] <PseudoGou> ohsix:  No, I've done this before.  It's a well documented process.  You just insert a custom DSDT with the corrections when you recompile the kernel
[06:30] <cardiel> Severian: in that link its just guides for older ubuntu versions..
[06:30] <PseudoGou> It's safe, I've done it before.
[06:30] <Mr19> Compiz is not shipped with Ubuntu 11?
[06:30] <ohsix> PseudoGou: i didn't say it wasn't "safe", i said it was almost certainly very wrong
[06:30] <ohsix> Mr19: that'd be a trick, cuz unity is a plugin for compiz
[06:31] <PseudoGou> No, read the thread, it's well established.  The ACPI tables do contain errors
[06:31] <PseudoGou> Check your own
[06:31] <Mr19> ohsix, Oh really, cuz I cannot find it under settings.
[06:31] <Severian> cardiel, so, try their method for the latest kernel they list and see if it works for Natty
[06:31] <PseudoGou> cat /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/DSDT > dsdt.dst
[06:31] <ohsix> PseudoGou: that doesn't mean you should be rebuilding them, and that DEFINITELY means you aren'tn solving a specific problem in doing so
[06:31] <PseudoGou> then recompile it with iasl
[06:32] <PseudoGou> Yes you are.  You're obviously ignorant in this respect.
[06:32] <ohsix> recompiling and fixing syntax errors doesn't do anything at best, and can cause problems at worse
[06:32] <ohsix> haha
[06:32] <PseudoGou> Programmers make very poor hardware diagnosticians -- I've found this to be true.
[06:32] <PseudoGou> And that's why we haven't had a working version of bootlogd for 5 years
[06:32] <ohsix> what do you purport to say with such a statement
[06:33] <ohsix> bootlogd?
[06:33] <PseudoGou> A very simple program which used to log boot time messages into a file
[06:33] <PseudoGou> They "deprecated" it, the problem is they replaced it with nothing
[06:33] <ohsix> i'm not sure what that has to do with anything
[06:33] <PseudoGou> I'd like to know what modules and drivers have to say when they're loading at boot time
[06:33] <ohsix> that's because it sounds like it was replaced with just cat /proc/kmsg
[06:33] <PseudoGou> Without using a serial console
[06:34] <ohsix> you do
[06:34] <PseudoGou> Let me see...
[06:34] <ohsix> you know that the buffer that dmesg reads is a circular one right
[06:34] <Mr19> When ever I am trying to reboot Ubuntu, I keep getting a black screen with a lot of text. It says "Stopping System V runlevel compatibility"
[06:34] <ohsix> and it will drain after boot into the syslog
[06:34] <PseudoGou> KMSG and DMESG do not display boot time messages
[06:34] <ohsix> not to mention you can just read the entire buffer with dmesg
[06:35] <ohsix> that's exactly what they do bro
[06:35] <PseudoGou> You know, before we used Plymouth, the stuff that used to scroll down your screen while you were booting...
[06:35] <ohsix> yes
[06:35] <PseudoGou> ohsix:  No, DMESG will not display everything
[06:35] <ohsix> you mean the console contents, not kernel messages?
[06:35] <ohsix> dmesg will display everything the kernel printed.
[06:35] <Severian> PseudoGou, did you remove the quiet option on the kernel?  I always do that and I see more infor during boot.  I actually replace it with the word verbose.
[06:35] <PseudoGou> bootlogd will display more than dmesg if you manipulate it's order of execution in init.d, but neither of them are entirely adequate
[06:35] <ohsix> you can do that too, when you need to
[06:35] <ohsix> adequate for what
[06:36] <PseudoGou> Severian, yes, I know about that, but it's too fast
[06:36] <ohsix> you said you wanted to see the kernel messages
[06:36] <PseudoGou> I would like it saved to a file so I can read it later
[06:36] <ohsix> because it's highly useful information to read at your leisure
[06:36] <PseudoGou> I don't want to see output messages, I want to see everything loaded while it boots, forgive me for not knowing the precise terminology
[06:36] <ohsix> just like running your dsdt through iasl -d and iasl is useful
[06:36] <Mr19> hmm, now it won't boot up :/
[06:37] <PseudoGou> ohsix:  Like I said - programmers shouldn't be left to hardware matters just as scientists shouldn't spout philosophy
[06:37] <ohsix> PseudoGou: if you want to know what ran at boot; look at the configuration that drives it, if you're wanting to look there for possible candidates to disable, you'd be looking at the same place you'd disable it too, it's magic
[06:38] <ohsix> PseudoGou: man you really have no clue what you're talking about, and making those statements on top of it is just really silly
[06:38] <PseudoGou> ohsix:  You'll never see EVERYTHING....
[06:38] <PseudoGou> ohsix:  Your help was well received, now be quiet.
[06:38] <FordPrefect> I am trying to install a .tar.gz file and when I download it and do tar xvpf name.tar.gz it works fine but after that nothing works
[06:38] <ohsix> PseudoGou: you're even injecting personal bias and an unabashed outlook of ignorance on the subject
[06:38] <FordPrefect> it tells me comment not found when I do name.tar.gz build or name.tar.gz install
[06:38] <PseudoGou> try tar -xzvf
[06:38] <mickep> If I want to copy the file a.pdf to /home/mickep/, and write cp a.pdf /ho and then hit the tab key to complete /home/ I get "/home " (without the ""). This is quite annoying. I am on an upgraded (to 11.04) ubuntu installation. Any ideas? This ofcourse happens with all directories, not just the /home one.
[06:39] <ohsix> FordPrefect: what's supposed to work? you just extracted the file
[06:39] <PseudoGou> ohsix:  I suppose you're from the school of thought that tells people not to use root
[06:39] <FordPrefect> ohsix,  after I extract the file I am trying to use an install and build command
[06:39] <PseudoGou> http://www.imperial-command.net/myths-about-root.html
[06:39] <FordPrefect> and the command is not responsding
[06:40] <ohsix> PseudoGou: you're embarassing yourself, really; i know enough about acpi to say what you are doing is in fact useless at best, harmful at worse; and harmful in ways you aren't equipped to figure out yourself; i'm not making generalizations, i'm talking about _you_
[06:40] <mattypants> back to classic desktop, man unity is painful
[06:40] <Severian> FordPrefect, There is not a universal answer A tar.gz file is like a zip file of a directory.  Usually, there is a README file that gives you further instructions.  Sometimes, you change into the new directory and do a configure/make cycle on it.
[06:40] <istok> FordPrefect, tar -zxvf filename.tar.gz <- then possibly a cd tothatdir <- followed by a possibly ./configure - you probably want to use documentation or README to follow
[06:40] <PseudoGou> ohsix:  You talk, but you say nothing...  Your words are meaningless and empty.
[06:40] <IdleOne> !ot
[06:40] <bazhang> ohsix, PseudoGou thats enough
[06:41] <mithran> hi all how do i see the /msg help thing?
[06:41] <scott951> how do i get root permissions?
[06:41] <ohsix> PseudoGou: how about dazzling me with your knowledge of acpi and what you actually attempt to solve, and or fix by doing these incantations that you insist are a universal win
[06:41] <bazhang> ohsix, ?
[06:41] <PseudoGou> I don't know much about ACPI, but you certainly know even less
[06:41] <Severian> scott951, ask the administrator if you can have them.
[06:41] <PseudoGou> evidently
[06:41] <IdleOne> ohsix: please drop it or take it to another channel/PM
[06:41] <PseudoGou> Yes, please hush ohsix, I didn't ask for your opinion.
[06:41] <ohsix> i think the admission is enough, what i know is unimportant
[06:42] <istok> :/
[06:42] <IdleOne> !attitude > PseudoGou
[06:42] <ohsix> bazhang: uncalled for
[06:42] <jasongriffee> how to set manual label for time zone?
[06:42] <scott951> its my computer severian, I want to unzip apktool to usr/bin
[06:42] <IdleOne> ohsix: lets get back to helping please
[06:42] <bazhang> ohsix, drop it
[06:42] <ohsix> and you fucked up my window order
[06:42] <ohsix> no, i'm pissed, i'll come back later
[06:42] <ohsix> thanks
[06:43] <IdleOne> .mode -q<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[06:43] <Severian> scott951, There are several ways to do it.  Most people would do a sudo cp of the files.
[06:43] <Mr19> Has anyone managed to get multi-monitor set up working on the new Version?
[06:44] <Mr19> It keeps crashing for me.
[06:44] <jasongriffee> i want to change the label for my time zone (city name), how do i do this?
[06:44] <Severian> scott951, Do you know about sudo?  It is used to do administrative stuff and is available to you, if you are an administrator.   What would be the syntax to do "wget -mk http://example.com/[1-98]/"?
[06:46] <Severian> PseudoGou, bazhang was entirely right to kick you.  Stay on topic and don't assault people.  Those are channel rules.  I don't think he should have kicked ohsix, but that was a judgement call and he is the operator, not me.
[06:46] <istok> PseudoGou, you were given plenty of warning, even asked nicely.   If apktool is the executable, then something like     sudo cp apktool /usr/bin
[06:48] <alastair_> I'm using wget and trying to mirror all 98 folders on a website. What would be the syntax to do "wget -mk http://example.com/[1-98]/"?
[06:48] <cardiel> Is 915resolutio hack available for 11.04?
[06:48] <scott951> ok where do i find the file from deskstop
[06:48] <Severian> PseudoGou, I take that as your confirmation that I was right.    I just freshly installed ubuntu on my laptop and I can't select any higher resolutions.  Suggestions?
[06:49] <istok> :P
[06:49] <mithran> when i use pipe a commands output to more, how do i go up?
[06:49] <mickep> Noone have an idea about my cp problem. Or can tell if they are also affected?
[06:49] <Severian> scott951, Do you mean the apktool program?
[06:49] <scott951> yeah
[06:49] <Flynn> jasongriffee, what version are you using?
[06:50] <xinel> mithran, shift page up
[06:50] <Severian> open a terminal shell.  That is the way I always do it.  type   find -name apktool
[06:50] <jasongriffee> Flynn, 11.04
[06:50] <scott951>   /Desktop/apktool
[06:50] <scott951> ok
[06:50] <mithran> xinel: thanks, but isnt that kind of cheaing?
[06:51] <Flynn> jasongriffee, Oh, maybe that's it.  I'm using 10.10
[06:51] <mithran> cheating*
[06:51] <jasongriffee> Flynn, u know how ubuntu remote works?
[06:52] <xinel> mithran, no such thing as cheating :P
[06:52] <Flynn> jasongriffee, no.
[06:52] <Severian> scott951, OK, then    sudo cp /Desktop/apktool /usr/bin     will copy that to /usr/bin.  If you downloaded it, you probably need to make it executable.  Something like   sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/apktool
[06:52] <tntc> Drab: what kind of video card si it?
[06:52] <jasongriffee> Flynn, have any advice to fix label?
[06:52] <Drab> How would I check that?
[06:53]  * Drab googles info about model
[06:53] <tntc> Drab: well, usually there's a sticker on the outside of the laptop, but you can also run lspci
[06:53] <mithran> xinel: thats a really good tip, thanks
[06:53] <xinel> mithran, np :)
[06:53] <tntc> Drab: look for ATI or NVidia or Intel near the letters "VGA"
[06:53] <Flynn> jasongriffee, what happens when you right click the time?
[06:54] <jasongriffee> Flynn, I got it
[06:54] <Flynn> jasongriffee, good.
[06:54] <emergion> If I am running unity, should I see the sidebar by default
[06:54] <jasongriffee> Flynn, I went into time settings and manually typed in my city
[06:54] <Severian> Yes, emergion
[06:54] <xinel> emergion, yes
[06:55] <emergion> ? I just selected "Ubunti" from my login screen preferences and it looks just like gnome used to, probably worse
[06:55] <tntc> emergion: it hides if there is a window near it
[06:55] <emergion> *"Ubuntu"
[06:55] <tntc> Drab: did you find it?
[06:55] <scott951> Severian, didn't work cp: cannot stat `/Desktop/apktool': No such file or directory
[06:55] <v3nil> hi
[06:55] <v3nil> anyone with embedded knowledge?
[06:55] <Drab> Intel GMA 500 Shared video memory (UMA)
[06:55] <v3nil> i mean embedded system
[06:55] <emergion> xinel: So if I select "Ubuntu" from my login screen preferences, that would enable unity?
[06:56] <tntc> Drab: GMA 500... hold on a sec
[06:56] <scott951> is there a link to a help page
[06:56] <Flynn> jasongriffee, cool
[06:56] <Severian> emergion, Your video card does not support 3d and you are using GNOME, not unity.  If you have an nvidea video card, installing the proprietary drivers may let you login to Unity.
[06:56] <xinel> emergion, yes, but it might not show if you don't have the restricted drivers installed
[06:56] <v3nil> anyone knows about embedded systems?
[06:56] <tntc> Drab: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_GMA#GMA_500_on_Linux
[06:56] <tntc> Drab: it's not very well supported, but you might be able to get it working. I think it's supported in the restricted drivers?
[06:56] <Severian> v3nil, I setup embedded systems.  What do you want to know?
[06:57] <Mr19> Does the new Ubuntu support mutli-monitors?
[06:57] <emergion> Ah yeah, ps lax shows gnome running
[06:57] <emergion> damn
[06:57] <Mr19> Cuz when I set mine up it keeps crashing.
[06:57] <jasongriffee> Flynn, thanks though
[06:57] <Severian> scott951, My best guess is a type on your part.  Look at the results from the find command.  That shows you where the file is.  You need to cp the file just as it shows.
[06:58] <Flynn> jasongriffee, np
[06:59] <v3nil> Severian, i wanted to know of some cheap boards that support linux and has usb host/otg support
[06:59] <sabiterian> anyone know how to enable spelling check in pidgin??
[06:59] <mickep> Never mind me, I was hit by https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bash-completion/+bug/769866
[06:59] <Drab> Okay, so after rading that section of the wiki, I still am unsure of how to go about this.  I'm not opposed to using non-libre software.
[06:59] <Drab> reading*
[07:00] <scott951> Thanks Severian
[07:00] <Mr19> "the selected configuration for displays could not be applied"
[07:00] <Mr19> I get that error when I am trying to set up multiple monitors.
[07:01] <tntc> Drab: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1746934

[07:05] <root> hello all
[07:05] <Israfel-Laptop> OK, I need a list of wireless cards that work with Ubuntu. I've bought my 12th non-working wireless card.
[07:05] <tntc> Israfel-Laptop: laptop wireless, or desktop?
[07:06] <Israfel-Laptop> tntc, My laptop is fine. It's the desktop that's without wireless.
[07:06] <kevinyoung> how to start ubuntu into x-window
[07:06] <kevinyoung> please
[07:06] <Mr19> Has anyone coped with Unity + Multi-Monitor set up?
[07:07] <tntc> ah, ok. Israfel-Laptop: first, have you tried ndiswrapper with the non-working cards?
[07:07] <google_> ..............
[07:07] <google_> good job
[07:07] <kevinyoung> please tell me how to start ubuntu into x-window
[07:07] <Israfel-Laptop> tntc, Yes, I'm in the process of trying all the drivers for different windows versions now.
[07:08] <ActionParsnip> kevinyoung: it is default action in the desktop OS
[07:08] <tntc> Israfel-Laptop: yuck :) Well, do you mind waiting? It'll probably be tough to find one just by going to Best Buy or something, but I'm sure you can order one online that'll work
[07:08] <Severian> kevinyoung, turning on the computer usually does it.
[07:09] <lwizardl> OK I have been dealing with this since the official release and still even in CCSM I have the snap windows unchecked and it is still using that feature. Please how do i turn this very very anoying feature off for good >
[07:09] <lwizardl> ?
[07:09] <Israfel-Laptop> tntc, I've thought about that. I'm surprised that this many cards don't work.
[07:09] <kevinyoung> Severian: but i can´t
[07:09] <Israfel-Laptop> tntc, Especially since these are fairly generic cards.
[07:09] <Severian> If you can't turn on the computer, kevinyoung, you have a problem.
[07:10] <tntc> Israfel-Laptop: a lot of them rely on goofy software to work. There was a similar problem with modems, many years ago
[07:10] <tntc> Israfel-Laptop: are you in the US, or...?
[07:10] <xinel> kevinyoung, startx
[07:11] <kevinyoung> xinel: i know
[07:11] <Israfel-Laptop> tntc, US. So far the best one that worked was a Linksys card that was capped at 5kB/s down.
[07:11] <tntc> Israfel-Laptop: also, do you care about wireless N?
[07:11] <kevinyoung> xinel: i want into x directly
[07:11]  * Mr19 raises a torch. *Down with firefox*
[07:11] <Israfel-Laptop> tntc, Don't care really, It's not used for intranet.
[07:12] <Severian> Yeah for Firefox.
[07:12] <RusAlex> hi guys
[07:12] <tatzenblogde> hi
[07:12] <Mr19> Chrome ftw
[07:12] <RusAlex> can anyone help me to undersand file permissions
[07:12] <tatzenblogde> midori is cool to, but i use firefox because adblock
[07:12] <tntc> Israfel-Laptop: are you looking for USB or PCI?
[07:12] <Severian> kevinyoung, Do you mean you want to have the comuter login to X when you start the system?
[07:12] <Israfel-Laptop> tntc, PCI.
[07:12] <kevinyoung> yes
[07:12] <Flynn> What's so bad about firefox?
[07:12] <Israfel-Laptop> tntc, But I'll need a USB for my laptop that's capable of injection.
 sucks! <y> are SO much better!
[07:12] <lwizardl> down with google,
[07:13] <kevinyoung> Severian: YES\
[07:13] <cryptodira> hi folks..... using update manager to update 10.10 amd/64 ..... i am getting the following warning: Requires installation of untrusted packages
[07:13] <cryptodira> The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources......  how can i resolve this issue?
[07:13] <Severian> Mr19, Chrome is too insecure.  Noscript with Firefox is the winning solution.
[07:13] <kevinyoung> EDIT WHAT
[07:13] <tntc> Israfel-Laptop: that's tougher to find, the USB bit. You'll have to special order that likely.
[07:13] <meNtha> where can i check my zip code for weather widget?
[07:13] <Israfel-Laptop> tntc, Yeah, the laptop can wait. I just need the server online.
[07:14] <Severian> kevinyoung, Ok, there is a place to set that.  I'll have to look and see where it is in Natty.
[07:14] <tntc> Israfel-Laptop: http://www2.proxim.com/wireless-lan/orinocor-client-products/orinocor-80211abgn-usb-adapter.html
[07:14] <tntc> Israfel-Laptop: anything with orinoco is probably supported.
[07:14] <tntc> I'd double check though
[07:15] <kevinyoung> Severian: OK
[07:15] <Severian> kevinyoung, run gdmsetup
[07:15] <RusAlex> when i under root,  https://gist.github.com/970071  but when i under my user https://gist.github.com/970072   i didn't understand why i cant see files. /media has a+r permission
[07:15] <kevinyoung> Severian: I Try it
[07:15] <tntc> Israfel-Laptop: if you get really desperate, just buy a dd-wrtable router (which is probably easier to find) and put it in client mode
[07:15] <tntc> then hook it up with an ethernet cable to the server.
[07:15] <awhitehatter> anyone install BeEF to ubuntu lately?
[07:16] <Severian> tntc, those work great.  I have setup several.
[07:16] <Israfel-Laptop> tntc, I did that before, but I recently moved and it wasn't my router. I had it in Bridge client mode.
[07:16] <omid> hi.i had installed kubuntu using wubi.and accidentaly formatted the partition which contained kubuntu installition.now i want to remove it from windows boot loader and i dont want a kubuntu option to show up.(i also have openSUSE installed but it is a full instalition and has its grub bootloader)
[07:16] <tntc> Israfel-Laptop: the other option is to buy a PCMCIA to PCI adapter and buy a decent PCMCIA card.
[07:17] <Israfel-Laptop> tntc, I'm surprised there's so few wireless cards that work. I thought there'd be a list somewhere.
[07:17] <tntc> Israfel-Laptop: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Devices/PCI check this out
[07:17] <cordoval> thank you guys I got it solved
[07:17] <banpdtr_> I want to change the permissions of my USB Pendrive... I tried chmod.. it failed and got message : changing permissions of Read-only file system . Could someone tell me how can I change my USB Pendrive filesystem's permissions..
[07:18] <bazhang> banpdtr_, whats the filesystem on it
[07:18] <Severian> Israfel-Laptop, Look for used routers on CraigsList.  I bought one for 10 buck, reflashed it to dd-wrt and it is a nice client bridge.  You do have to be careful to pick a compatible model.  A lot can run DD-wrt and a lot cannot.
[07:18] <banpdtr_> bazhang: How to find out that.. sorry I'm beginner :(
[07:18] <david> #ubuntu
[07:19] <bazhang> banpdtr_, a usb key? did you change it?
[07:19] <tntc> Israfel-Laptop: does that list help?
[07:19] <Israfel-Laptop> tntc, I think so. It doesn't have the card I just bought that's 4+ years old.
[07:20] <tntc> Israfel-Laptop: the DWA-556 looks promising
[07:20] <Israfel-Laptop> tntc, It's a list, how do I know they work on LInux?
[07:20] <tntc> It even does wireless N
[07:20] <Pirsch> Hello. I just bought the Samsung Galaxy Tab. I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 on my laptop. Is there any known issues I should be aware of?
[07:20] <cryptodira> The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources......  how can i resolve this issue?
[07:20] <tntc> Israfel-Laptop: it's a list of cards known to work on linux, and the drivers they use :)
[07:20] <banpdtr_> bazhang: No.. I didn't change anything
[07:20] <tntc> Israfel-Laptop: you can sort by form factor (you're looking for PCI or PCI Express)
[07:20] <Severian> Pirsch, Samsung is slow with the updates.
[07:21] <Israfel-Laptop> tntc, haha, there's a few cards on there that don't work.
[07:21] <Guest67511> I want my cmputers to log in to my router with specific ip address can that be done, but only the computers that i assign so if i log off, noone else can use that ip? I have a belkin 54g router
[07:21] <Israfel-Laptop> tntc, The WMP54GS was the one that's capped at 5kB down
[07:21] <Pirsch> Severian: In general, are there any issues with communication between Ubuntu and Android?
[07:21] <bazhang> banpdtr_, did you remove it from a windows system or your ubuntu system by yanking it out?
[07:21] <tntc> Israfel-Laptop: the problem is vendors change chipsets with revision numbers, so a linksys WMP54GS V1 will have a different chipset
[07:21] <tntc> Israfel-Laptop: which driver did you use with the WMP54GS?
[07:21] <lwizardl> OK I have been dealing with this since the official release and still even in CCSM I have the snap windows unchecked and it is still using that feature. Please how do i turn this very very anoying feature off for good ?
[07:21] <tntc> Israfel-Laptop: b43? wl?
[07:22] <bazhang> banpdtr_, ie a non-clean removal?
[07:22] <banpdtr_> bazhang: No.. nothing like that
[07:22] <tntc> Israfel-Laptop: they released a new broadcom driver fairly recently, so it's possible you were using the old, bad ones.
[07:22] <Guest67511> I want my cmputers to log in to my router with specific ip address can that be done, but only the computers that i assign so if i log off, noone else can use that ip? I have a belkin 54g router
[07:22] <Israfel-Laptop> tntc, I tried everything. That was my first card and the only one that was detected and got online.
[07:22] <tntc> Israfel-Laptop: how long ago was that?
[07:22] <Severian> Guest67511, no wireless security is perfect.  You can set a strong  WPA password and only give it to certain people.  That will stop most people.
[07:23] <Israfel-Laptop> tntc, I've been using it for a year. (alongside the ethernet connection.)
[07:23] <SuperLag> Question about bridging. My Ubuntu machine has two network interfaces. One wired, one wireless. The wired NIC gets its IP by DHCP. If I bridge the wireless to the wired, does that mean the wireless will get the IP from the same DHCP server as the other interface?
[07:23] <tntc> Israfel-Laptop: you have it right now?
[07:23] <Mr19> How do you remove Unity?
[07:23] <Israfel-Laptop> tntc, I just pulled it out.
[07:23] <tntc> Israfel-Laptop: put it back in. which driver was it using?
[07:23] <bazhang> Mr19, you dont. choose classic at login window
[07:23] <kaushal> Hi
[07:23] <html_inprogress> how do change my system lanuage back to english?
[07:23] <html_inprogress> hui
[07:23] <kaushal> vostro 1014 ubuntu 11.04 keyboard issue
[07:24] <Israfel-Laptop> tntc, Not sure, I messed with it a lot over a year ago.
[07:24] <Severian> Mr19, don't try.  I can tell you from a test that you will just mess up the system.  If you don't like Unity, just don't use it.
[07:24] <roccity_> Mr19, what version of Ubuntu are you running?
[07:24] <tntc> Israfel-Laptop: the wl driver went from downright awful to very usable in the span of a single release. Are you on 11.04?
[07:24] <banpdtr_> bazhang: But previously I have used my USB device for creating usb bootable device using unetbootin
[07:24] <Mr19> roccity_, 11
[07:25] <roccity_> Mr19, dont think you can but you can choose ubuntu classic from the gdm login
[07:25] <lwizardl> Guest67511, I think the only way to do that is to turn off DHCP on your router and then setup each computer a static internal IP ex 192.168.1.x then you would also have to do that for each new computer or device on the network
[07:25] <bazhang> banpdtr_, and now you are trying to format it for storage use?
[07:25] <Mr19> roccity_, I dont see it.
[07:25] <bazhang> Mr19, login window
[07:25] <banpdtr_> bazhang: yeah.. exactly
[07:26] <Mr19> bazhang, I logged out and I don't see anything about classic
[07:26] <Israfel-Laptop> tntc, ok, I just put the old card back in.
[07:26] <tntc> which driver is it using?
[07:26] <roccity_> Mr19, on the login click on your name and then at the bottom you will see a drop menu that says Ubuntu click this and then you can choose Ubuntu classic
[07:26] <Israfel-Laptop> tntc, I'm on 11.04, yes.
[07:26] <tntc> Israfel-Laptop: good!
[07:26] <Mr19> roccity_, Thanks@
[07:26] <Mr19> s/@/!/
[07:27] <lwizardl> Mr19, log out of your user, then center of bottom screen you will see the desktop type selection dropbox. choose Classic (this is what I use also, I hate unity)
[07:27] <Mr19> roccity_, It will boot by default to classic?
[07:27] <ActionParsnip> !classic
[07:27] <raju> how can i contribute to ubuntu ?
[07:27] <Severian> html_inprogress, Log out.  When you log back in, look at the bottom of the screen.  After selecting the user, but before you press the Login button, you can change the language.
[07:28] <lwizardl> Mr19, after you use the classic once it will auto use the last selected so if you never rechange it yes it will always keep that setting
[07:28] <roccity_> Mr19, after choosing this I think
[07:28] <tntc> Israfel-Laptop: check in the "Additional Drivers" application. Look for something called "wl"
[07:28] <kaushal> I have a Dell vostro 1014 running ubuntu 11.04 with keyboard issue.
[07:28] <kaushal> Any clue ?
[07:28] <tntc> kaushal: what do you mean by "keyboard issue"
[07:29] <Raptors> Does anyone on here know how to install local chromium themes?
[07:29] <ActionParsnip> Mr19: the last session for each user is remembered
[07:29] <kaushal> tntc: I am not able to type anything
[07:29] <Raptors> I'm trying to install Orta chromium theme
[07:29] <Mr19> hmm it has occurred to me that unity isn't compatible with multi monitor.
[07:29] <Israfel> tntc, Checking for additional drivers now.
[07:29] <ActionParsnip> kaushal: what is the issue exactly?
[07:29] <roccity_> Mr19, yes it is I'm running it now
[07:29] <Mr19> roccity_, gpu?
[07:30] <Israfel> tntc, Only thing that showed up was the NVIDIA graphics driver.
[07:30] <kaushal> ActionParsnip: I have upgraded it to 11.04 and the laptop keyboard stops functioning
[07:30] <Severian> Mr19, I have seen demoes with Unity and 2 monitors.  It worked fine.
[07:30] <tntc> kaushal: not even in a console, with ctrl+alt+f1?
[07:30] <kaushal> yes
[07:30] <tntc> Israfel: what does lspci say?
[07:30] <kaushal> tntc: yes
[07:30] <roccity_> Mr19, Intel
[07:30] <tntc> kaushal: hrm... I honestly dunno what to do about that. Did it work on the liveCD?
[07:30] <Mr19> Severian, Really, because everytime I have to set up the monitors again.
[07:30] <ActionParsnip> Raptors: open the theme file with the browser. Should be applied
[07:30] <tntc> Israfel: look for the card vendor: see which chipset it uses.
[07:30] <Israfel> tntc, 03:0a.0 Network controller: Ralink corp. RT2500 802.11g (rev 01)
[07:31] <tntc> AH HA!
[07:31] <roccity_> Mr19, choose monitors from settings in the applicaton menu
[07:31] <tntc> It's a RALINK card, not a broadcom one.
[07:31] <Mr19> roccity_, That's what I used.
[07:31] <roccity_> Mr19, you need to select make default
[07:31] <Severian> Mr19, yes, really.  I only have 1 monitor, so I can't tell you more.  But, it did work in the demo.
[07:31] <Mr19> and it wont allow me to set all 6 of my monitors.
[07:31] <Mr19> I have to use the AMD software to manually set it.
[07:31] <ActionParsnip> Six? Yowser
[07:32] <Kalebman5000> wow
[07:32] <Severian> Mr19, maybe it has a bug above 3 monitors or some limit.  You might test other numbers of monitors and submit a bug report.
[07:33] <roccity_> Mr19, did you untick 'same image for all manitors"?
[07:33] <Mr19> roccity_, I do, but it does not display them.
[07:34] <Mr19> it stays 1 red block.
[07:34] <tntc> Israfel: I'm looking into it, bear with me
[07:34] <Mr19> but I am not on unity anymore and classic satisfies me
[07:34] <roccity_> Mr19, and you can left click and move all the monitors around?
[07:34] <roccity_> Mr19, and position them?
[07:34] <ActionParsnip> kaushal: if you boot the old kernel is it ok?
[07:35] <Mr19> roccity_, I am aware of that, I just did it on classic.
[07:35] <kaushal> ActionParsnip: please give me a moment
[07:35] <roccity_> Mr19, ok just checking
[07:35] <Mr19> roccity_, However, it wont let me left click and drag it respectively.
[07:35] <Israfel> tntc, Same here. The website says that card is Broadcom, but the chipset isn't
[07:35] <tntc> Israfel: It's a different version of the same card
[07:36] <ActionParsnip> Mr19: what video hardware do you use?
[07:36] <roccity_> Mr19,  is this intel? they may have a limit on the number of monitors
[07:36] <Mr19> ATI HD Radeon 5750 2x with Eyefinity
[07:36] <Mr19> roccity_, No.
[07:36] <roccity_> Mr19, sorry mate don't know them
[07:36] <ActionParsnip> Israfel: its the chip as seen by Linux that counts
[07:37] <tntc> Israfel: one thing you might try is changing the wireless channel in your router.
[07:37] <guddu> hi friends will you tell me about ping
[07:37] <tntc> Israfel: that has given me some improvement in the past
[07:37] <Israfel> tntc, I've done everything possible for router settings.
[07:37] <bgsmith> greetings channel (connection dropped earlier), I am unable to install natty narwhal due to keyboard/mouse freezes during installation. Tried a. regular image b. alternate image c. alternate image with expert mode. Has anybody faced this problem and what are my options?
[07:37] <ActionParsnip> Mr19: ahh I'm no good with Ati chips. Nvidia is far easier :-)
[07:38] <html_inprogress> ok
[07:38] <lwizardl> guddu, http://ping.windowsdream.com/ or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ping
[07:38] <Israfel> tntc, The slow speed on that card is a common complaint. It's part of Google's autocomplete searches.
[07:38] <tntc> Israfel: hrm... well, if push comes to shove, I'd do the router thing
[07:38] <tntc> Israfel:  as in buy a cheap router for dd-wrt to put in client mode
[07:38] <Mr19> ActionParsnip, I don't mind. It's just that ATi has never been fond of Linux
[07:38] <ActionParsnip> bgsmith: what make + model is the keyboard?
[07:38] <Mr19> Until recently there has been work done.
[07:39] <ComputerChic> Hi all :)
[07:39] <ActionParsnip> Mr19: i'm well aware. I've been using Linux since 2000
[07:39] <Severian> bgsmith, Sometimes I find a piece of hardware that is problematic to install.  There are several ways to proceed, but it depends on the hardware.  Is this a computer with a very new chipset or video that may not have drivers yet?  Is it a old piece of hardware that may not get tested much?
[07:39] <ActionParsnip> Mr19: ;-)
[07:40] <bgsmith> it is a standard logitech model no. y-sm46  named "easy keyboard deluxe" US layout
[07:40] <Mr19> ActionParsnip, While you are here.
[07:40] <guddu> hi tell me about telnet
[07:40] <Mr19> I accidentally deleted the thingy on my panel
[07:40] <Mr19> Where it tells time / date etc
[07:40] <tntc> Jeeze, it's 2:40am. Time for me to go :/
[07:40] <Mr19> How do I get it back O.o
[07:41] <ActionParsnip> Guddu: its a unencrypted terminal session using tcp protocol
[07:41] <bgsmith> um, this is a two year old Athlon 64 x2 dual core board based PC and Fedora used to work fine on it. Now it has WinXP on it.
[07:41] <tntc> Israfel: I'd say, last ditch effort for a card, find a PCMCIA one and use a PCMCIA / PCI adapter, which i think you can still get at best buy and staples
[07:41] <Severian> bgsmith, you are installing Ubuntu on just a keyboard?
[07:41] <Israfel> tntc, That's the expensive route to bypass the problem.
[07:41] <ActionParsnip> !panel | Mr19
[07:41] <ActionParsnip> !panels
[07:42] <bgsmith> Severian: that response was to ActionParsnips question about the make
[07:42] <bgsmith> Severian: and model of the keyboard
[07:42] <tntc> Israfel: yeah, I know. I mean, the other option is to just run a long cable
[07:42] <tntc> which is also expensive.
[07:42] <tntc> In any case, back tomorrow. Good luck!
[07:42] <ActionParsnip> bgsmith: is the keyboard usb based?
[07:43] <FordPrefect> Hey guys I get the following error when I run sudo-apt-get install xclip
[07:43] <FordPrefect> E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (13: Permission denied)
[07:43] <FordPrefect> E: Unable to lock directory /var/lib/apt/lists/

[07:43] <FordPrefect> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
[07:43] <FloodBot1> FordPrefect: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:43] <guddu> andy what do you mean
[07:43] <idodeisuke> I got ubuntu 11.04 you know how to install a gdm theme there?
[07:43] <bazhang> FordPrefect, did you use sudo?
[07:43] <FordPrefect> Yes
[07:43] <Mr19> ActionParsnip, Thanks!
[07:43] <bgsmith> no ... the old ps2 connector
[07:43] <FordPrefect> That is why im confused. I used sudo, so i shouldnt be getting this error.
[07:43] <bazhang> FordPrefect, check that other processes are not running then
[07:43] <Severian> FordPrefect, you probably have synaptic or software center open at the same time as you are trying to use apt-get.
[07:44] <lwizardl> FordPrefect, sounds like another application is using the source
[07:44] <ActionParsnip> !aptfix | FordPrefect please don't flood in future
[07:44] <Mr19> ActionParsnip, How do you remove parts of the icons in the gnome-panel
[07:44] <ActionParsnip> bgsmith: do you have another ps2 keyboard?
[07:44] <bgsmith> When I use the standard install CD, the mouse and keyboard freeze on the first screen where the language must be frozen, using the alternate installer - the console freezes after network configuration is over
[07:45] <Mr19> For example, I don't want the mail icon and my name showing.
[07:45] <ActionParsnip> Mr19: how do you mean?
[07:45] <bgsmith> er .. s/where the language must be frozen/where the language must be chose/
[07:45] <ActionParsnip> Mr19: rightclick -> u
[07:45] <bgsmith> er .. s/where the language must be frozen/where the language must be chosen/
[07:45] <cordoval> sorry one last thing
[07:46] <Mr19> ActionParsnip, huh?
[07:46] <ActionParsnip> Mr19: sorry, rightclick -> unlock. Rightclick -> remove
[07:46] <cordoval> I issued sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras but someof the plugins or files failed to download for some time, how can I redo teh command? reissuing the command does not succed, anyone please can hint me on how to fix it?
[07:46] <Mr19> ActionParsnip, if I do that, it removes it all.
[07:47] <bgsmith> ActionParsnip: I might have some old keyboards lying around, I'll try installing with one of those. But the freeze happens halfway during the text based install :(
[07:48] <Severian> You might try installing Maverick or Lucid and upgrading, bgsmith.  I have had hardware where I needed to do that.
[07:48] <acjoven> How does one specify a remote location for rsync's --backup-dir= option?
[07:48] <ActionParsnip> Mr19: then kill the process. I guess that's what it is. There are packages with the word indicator in which give those
[07:49] <Severian> acjoven, where do you want the backup?
[07:49] <idodeisuke> what nobody wants to tell me how to install gmd themes in ubuntu 11.04? ;( ;(
[07:49] <brad_> hi, just installed a fresh 10.10, but when i open update manager, it isnt giving me the option to upgrade to 11.04, could anyone please help?
[07:50] <anebi> hi
[07:50] <bazhang> brad_, is is fully updated?
[07:50] <ActionParsnip> bgsmith: test ram using the cd. When you see the stickman, press space and you can test there. I assume you md5 tested the iso you downloaded
[07:50] <brad_> yes, i installed off liveUSB 10.10, then ran all updates
[07:50] <anebi> do you know if percona xtrabackup scripts are available for ubuntu 10.x ?
[07:50] <anebi> i tried to find them in repo, but i cannot see them
[07:50] <Severian>  brad_, is there a button that says check?  Click on that.  Perhaps, you do not have a good network connection.
[07:50] <acjoven> Severian, it's on a remote server, which I can access via ssh
[07:51] <brad_> Severian, i did click check, and im connected to the internet now obviously O.o
[07:51] <brad_> Severian, i clicked multiple times
[07:51] <ActionParsnip> Brad_: just ignore it. You can upgrade but keep current release with: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade
[07:52] <Severian> brad_, go into Setting and see if it says to check for normal releases.  I probably does.
[07:52] <bgsmith1> Severian: ok thanks, that sounds like the way to go. I'll try starting from Lucid and then do release-upgrades
[07:52] <brad_> Severian, it does indeed say check for normal releases, it has 3 options, never, normal, and LTS only
[07:53] <Severian> acjoven, That option is for backing up to a directory.  Are you just trying to rsync to a remote machine over ssh?
[07:53] <ActionParsnip> Brad_: i'd select never :)
[07:53] <brad_> ActionParsnip, that still doesnt give me the option to upgrade
[07:54] <cordoval> any hint? trying to fix sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras that had some failurs
[07:54] <ActionParsnip> Severian: nice one knowing that, dude :-)
[07:54] <brad_> ActionParsnip, Severian I installed 10.10 because i can not use liveUSB with 11.04 (there is a bug with my brand of flashdrive), the only way for me to get 11.04 is to install 10.10 and upgrade from there
[07:55] <ActionParsnip> cordoval: can you pastebin the output please
[07:55] <acjoven> Severian, yes I am trying to back up my laptop files with rsync over ssh, while using the backup option to store differences in a remote directory
[07:55] <cordoval> ActionParsnip: I don't have the full output, only some elements that were downloaded failed, the majority was successful
[07:56] <ActionParsnip> brad_: check the upgrade notes and use the server method. Its super easy
[07:57] <brad_> ActionParsnip, how do i do that?
[07:57] <ActionParsnip> cordoval: rerun the command. If you get issues, pastebin the text
[07:57] <ActionParsnip> !upgrade
[07:57] <cordoval> ActionParsnip: it does not do anything anymore, but i know it failed some downloads, can I force it somehow?
[07:59] <ActionParsnip> cordoval: sudo apt-get --reinstall install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[08:00] <ActionParsnip> cordoval: may want to try: sudo apt-get -f install
[08:00] <cordoval> ActionParsnip: same output, it does not download missing packages
[08:01] <cordoval> ActionParsnip: should I try uninstalling and reinstalling? or would that be harmful?
[08:02] <scb> Hi guys, I am having an issue with Unity. When I use multiple desktops and my windows are close to the border (read, close not on the border) using the Super-# shortcuts fails miserably. Anyone experiencing this?
[08:02] <Jon--> wmctrl -R someWindowTitle is not moving the window title to the current workspace, it is instead moving my workspace view to that window. Any ideas? I recently reconfigured some things in Compiz desktop wall, but I don't see how this would effect things?
[08:03] <brad_> ActionParsnip, i followed the instructions, and it still says there is no upgrades or updates available
[08:03] <brad_> wtf
[08:03] <ActionParsnip> cordoval: then I'd say you had them as the metapackage would install the gaps. Add medibuntu repo and install vlc gnome-mplayer and w32codecs (i assume 32bit os)
[08:04] <cordoval> ActionParsnip: 64 bit asus
[08:04] <ActionParsnip> Brad_: grab alternate iso, mount it and run the upgrade script on there
[08:05] <cordoval> thanks
[08:06] <ulysses_> how to create a keyboard shortcut from commandline?
[08:06] <brad_> i dont have any blank discs >.< and 11.04 will not install from my USB drive, known bug w/ sandisk cruzers
[08:06] <ActionParsnip> cordoval: you can run 32bit OS on 64bit cpu. Just because you have a 64bit cpu doesn't automatically mean your OS is 64bit
[08:06] <yigal> anyone connect ssh through usb?
[08:06] <Severian> acjoven, the directory you specify with that option is on the remote machine, as far as I can tell.  I don't use the option myself.  See  http://lists.samba.org/archive/rsync/2005-December/014309.html
[08:07] <Guest35548> guys hpw do u make software
[08:07] <ActionParsnip> Yigal: usb what? Millions of devices are usb based...
[08:07] <yigal> Guest35548: very carefully, if you want a good product
[08:07] <Guest35548> yeah basically
[08:07] <yigal> ActionParsnip: read the question, answer the question
[08:07] <bazhang> !packaging > Guest35548
[08:08] <Guest35548> that's right]
[08:08] <Guest35548> which one?
[08:08] <ulysses_> anybody pls tell me how to create a mapping or a keyboard shortcut to launch things
[08:09] <Guest35548> the only guide is in the internet...don't ask any other people...
[08:09] <yigal> ulysses_: what things, what GUI are you using, I'm asuming GNOME?
[08:09] <Guest35548> find it yourself
[08:09] <Guest35548> hiks hiks
[08:09] <bazhang> Guest35548, pardon?
[08:09] <yigal> Guest35548: RTFM lol
[08:09] <bazhang> yigal, stop that
[08:10] <ActionParsnip> Yigal: ok you can easily setup a Bluetooth network or it could be an infared sender connecting via usb. Neither of which i have used to ssh over
[08:10] <yigal> ActionParsnip: and neither of which I'm asking help for
[08:10] <yigal> ActionParsnip: and no it isn't easy using the hardware I'm using
[08:10] <bazhang> yigal, then ask a clear question
[08:11] <inaety> trying to upgrade to 11.04 (ubuntu and xubuntu) gives me this error (printed out in the apt.log) http://pastebin.com/0QQ9TJYd
[08:11] <ulysses_> yigal: no i'm using linux mint which has ubuntu as base but no keyboard config manager so it has to be from cmdline i think
[08:11] <bazhang> Guest35548, dont recommend searching the internet here
[08:11] <acjoven> Severian, thanks for that.  Now to figure out whether I need the single colon syntax there or not...
[08:11] <yigal> ulysses_: no if you are using Ubuntu plain, has keyboard editing
[08:11] <ActionParsnip> Yigal: then give DETAILS rather than waste peoples time having them guess and you'll get help
[08:12] <yigal> my question is very clear
[08:12] <yigal> has anyone connected via ssh over usb
[08:12] <ActionParsnip> ulysses_: mint isn't supported here
[08:12] <yigal> ?
[08:12] <bazhang> yigal, need details. please stop repeating.
[08:12] <yigal> if you haven't why do I care?
[08:13] <moroki> yigal: try irc.spotchat.org server for Mint support
[08:14] <yigal> moroki: I'm not using Mint dude
[08:14] <bazhang> moroki, you mean ulysses_
[08:14] <yigal> moroki: why do you think I'm using Mint?
[08:14] <ActionParsnip> Yigal: its not clear or we wouldnt ask would we.  I'm going to help others. If you decide to grow up and stop playing games then i am happy to help. Your move
[08:14] <moroki> ulysses:  try irc.spotchat.org server for Mint support
[08:14] <ulysses_> moroki: ya ll give tat a try..
[08:15] <moroki> yigal: my mistake
[08:15] <yigal> ActionParsnip: you're inability to use simple network interfaces is only helping you out, if you want to blame my maturity then so be it
[08:16] <lwizardl> OK I have been dealing with this since the official release and still even in CCSM I have the snap windows unchecked and it is still using that feature. Please how do i turn this very very anoying feature off for good ?
[08:16] <ActionParsnip> Yigal: i asked for clarification and got riddles. I'm competent in networks and manage them for my job
[08:17] <yigal> ActionParsnip: just because you have a job in something doesn't make you an expert I'm afraid, but so be it
[08:17] <bazhang> yigal, please lets move on.
[08:17] <ActionParsnip> Lwizardl: if you switch effects off then on, is it applied?
[08:18] <ActionParsnip> yigal: notice how nobody is helping you....strange huh....
[08:18] <yigal> ActionParsnip: notice the dead air, and that you are and I are the only one's distrubing it
[08:19]  * ActionParsnip moves on
[08:19] <yigal> good little man
[08:19] <bazhang> !attitude | yigal
[08:19] <lwizardl> ActionParsnip, yes if i turn off for example windows borders effect it changes and when i turn it back on it changese again
[08:19] <yigal> bazhang: I'm not asking for immediate assistance
[08:19] <lwizardl> but if i do that with snap nothing happens'
[08:19] <yigal> I'm not asking for much
[08:19] <yigal> bazhang: leave me alone dude
[08:19] <html_inprogress> yigal is right on, when he nows his stuff, and he helps like half the ppl here AT THE SAME TIME, , and he is doing thing more productive,and by the irc rules
[08:20] <bazhang> yigal, post your question every 15-20 minutes with full details
[08:20] <ActionParsnip> Lwizardl: i believe there is a plugjn which has to disable the snapping
[08:20] <lwizardl> ActionParsnip, yeah and i wish i could find it
[08:20] <yigal> lwizardl: yes, are you familiar with ccsm?
[08:21] <fredrik_> everytime I connect my 3g modem I'm asked to enter my pin. I have done so in connection properties. How can I correct this?
[08:21] <lwizardl> yigal, I've used it a few times
[08:21] <ActionParsnip> Lwizardl: try wobbly windows
[08:22] <lwizardl> ActionParsnip, yes on they wobble and of is straight edges
[08:22] <lwizardl> of=on
[08:22] <aureianimus> okay, so i got a message i don't have the hardware requirements for unity, but it worked earlier. is there a risk to forcing to use unity?
[08:22] <yigal> lwizardl: interesting, wonder what's going on in gconf
[08:22] <yigal> aureianimus: yes
[08:22] <yigal> aureianimus: it could break xorg, the GUI
[08:22] <yigal> aureianimus: but you say it worked before?
[08:23] <aureianimus> i tried a live cd in the store on this laptop and it worked
[08:23] <lwizardl> ActionParsnip, in CCSM  the snap feature is under window management
[08:23] <ActionParsnip> aureianimus: if you press ALT+F2 and run: compiz --replace   does the unity bar run
[08:23] <yigal> aureianimus: was it 11.04?
[08:24] <aureianimus> yes
[08:24] <yigal> aureianimus: do you know what graphics card you have in your computer?
[08:24] <yigal> aureianimus: let me rephrase, what graphics card are you using?
[08:25] <aureianimus> compiz --replace messes up the screen for a bit and then returns to what i have before, no unity bar
[08:25] <ActionParsnip> Lwizardl: if i was at my lappy i could tell you but i'm on the way home from work
[08:25] <lwizardl> ah ok
[08:25] <lwizardl> is there a dev channel for ubuntu ?
[08:25] <aureianimus> i have a nvdia gt 540m, but it might be running on  the intel integrated graphics, not sure about that
[08:25] <yigal> lwizardl: is the snap feature for full screen, or for smaller windows?
[08:26] <yigal> aureianimus: ?
[08:26] <lwizardl> yigal, full
[08:26] <aureianimus> o
[08:26] <aureianimus> i'm not sure if the nvidia is working
[08:26] <yigal> lwizardl: I suspect you'll get an immediate answer from #compiz
[08:26] <lwizardl> yigal, you drag a window to the top of screen edge and it fills the screen
[08:26] <yigal> yes, yes
[08:27] <fredrik_> everytime I connect my 3g modem I'm asked to enter my pin. I have done so in connection properties. How can I correct this?
[08:27] <yigal> aureianimus: oh
[08:27] <yigal> fredrik_: you are tethering over bluetooth?
[08:27] <ActionParsnip> aureianimus: if you run: nvidia-settings   it will give an error if the driver isn't loaded
[08:28] <fredrik_> nope.. USB 3G dongle
[08:28] <fredrik_> yigal, nope... USB dongle
[08:28] <yigal> fredrik_: got it, twic :D
[08:28] <yigal> twice
[08:28] <osmosis> does ubuntu 11.04  come with the gnome3 interface available in addition to the new ubuntu interface?
[08:28] <aureianimus> okay, the driver isn't loaded
[08:28] <yigal> fredrik_: I'm afraid I've only used T-Mobile tethering which doesn't require a pin
[08:28] <yigal> fredrik_: as of yet
[08:29] <zatan> hi is there anyway that i can downgrade Intel graphics drivers ?
[08:29] <ActionParsnip> aureianimus: do you get an error? Does the app run?
[08:29] <yigal> osmosis: that's the GNOME 3 interface
[08:29] <fredrik_> yigal, ok, thanks anyway
[08:29] <yigal> fredrik_: cool dude
[08:29] <aureianimus> You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver.  Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.
[08:29] <osmosis> yigal, whats the gnome 3 interface?
[08:29] <aureianimus> but the app does run
[08:29] <lwizardl> asking in compiz now
[08:29] <ActionParsnip> !gnome3
[08:30] <yigal> osmosis: I spoke too soon I'm afraid
[08:30] <yigal> osmosis: my apologies
[08:30] <osmosis> ActionParsnip, i see
[08:31] <ActionParsnip> osmosis: Natty uses gnome2 by default. Gnome3 has a ppa and is not supported here. You are free to install it if you wish
[08:31] <amin4> guys i have install virtualboxOSE
[08:32] <amin4> is it possible to connect the virtualbox running linux os via screen command in my ubuntu terminal
[08:32] <yigal> amin4: good job?
[08:32] <nicksa> amin4: Congratulations!
[08:32] <aureianimus> ActionParsnip, so if compiz --replace doesn't launch the unity bar i probably shouldn't try to force it, right?
[08:32] <amin4> woooa
[08:32] <yigal> nicksa: :D
[08:32] <amin4> nice
[08:32] <yigal> amin4: :D
[08:32] <amin4> is it possible?
[08:32] <nicksa> ;)
[08:33] <nicksa> whats that amin4
[08:33] <amin4> i want to screen the running linux os on vbox
[08:33] <amin4> in my terminal
[08:33] <ActionParsnip> aureianimus: try: sudo nvidia-xconfig   then reboot. If you get no X server then drop to root recovery console and rename /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[08:33] <ziz> hi, i got trouble recording . when i 'rec a.wav' and 'play a.wav' it makes no sound.
[08:33] <amin4> use the screen command to manage the vbox os
[08:34] <amin4> ?????
[08:34] <yigal> aureianimus: there's a command for unity, /usr/bin/unity, is that the bar?
[08:34] <lwizardl> OK to everyone that hates how the windows drag to a side and then it auto expands that to fill the screen. To STOP that feature in CompizConfig Settings Manager look for the section called "Windows Management" and uncheck "Grid" to remove that for good
[08:34] <nicksa> amin4: why not , try it out.
[08:34] <aureianimus> ActionParsnip, rename /etc/X11/xorg.conf        rename to what?
[08:35] <amin4> I mean can I ssh the vbox
[08:35] <ActionParsnip> amin4: do you mean ssh to the virtualbox system?
[08:35] <amin4> YESSSSSSSSSSSSS
[08:35] <nicksa> ;/
[08:35] <yigal> lwizardl: ty, congratulations :D
[08:36] <ActionParsnip> aureianimus: something different. Anything that isn't a filename already in that folder
[08:36] <aureianimus> okay, i'll give that a shot
[08:36] <lwizardl> yigal, not a problem i asked in compiz and soreau told me how to fix it
[08:36] <austinium> I am unable to update apt, Ubuntu 10.04, http://pastebin.com/Pnv7Yptv
[08:36] <ActionParsnip> amin4: do you use a home router?
[08:36] <soreau> ;)
[08:36] <yigal> lwizardl: I knew they would know :D
[08:36] <austinium> i tried both apt-get and synaptic
[08:37] <austinium> "...Something wicked happened resolving..."
[08:37] <amin4> ActionParsnip: I have ADSL _WIFI ROUTER MODEM
[08:37] <lwizardl> yigal, yeah thank you for telling me about them
[08:37] <austinium> i am able to browse the web okay on the machine, but apt/synaptic wont work!
[08:37] <amin4> look i have ubuntu in ubuntu i have terminal and vobx
[08:37] <amin4> co
[08:37] <yigal> lwizardl: cool, glad it worked
[08:38] <amin4> ssh from terminal to vbox
[08:38] <amin4> any one
[08:38] <yigal> lwizardl: and thanks for sharing the how to
[08:38] <lwizardl> yigal, I am sure that it will help others I will be adding the fix also to my facebook to help others
[08:38] <aureianimus> ActionParsnip, sudo nvidia-xconfig gives this: http://pastebin.com/2GN22E7E
[08:38] <austinium> help!
[08:39] <ActionParsnip> Amin4: perfect. Set the virtualbox to use a bridged connection and it will get dhcp from the router. It will appear in the routers routing table and will be as if you added a new physical system to the lan. Just connect to its ip and you will connect
[08:39] <nicksa> austinium: try http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=606975
[08:39] <yigal> amin4: check this blog out http://mydebian.blogdns.org/?p=148
[08:39] <yigal> amin4: I think it goes over exactly what you want to do
[08:40] <aureianimus> nvm, i still need to reboot
[08:41] <ActionParsnip> aureianimus: that's fine. Reboot to test
[08:41] <AxonetBE> how can you see why SSL certificate and https gives unsecure?
[08:42] <Severian> yigal, that is a handy link.  I wanted to know how to do that, too.
[08:42] <austinium> nicksa: do i have to restart network after changing /etc/hosts???
[08:42] <Severian> austinium, No

[08:43] <nicksa> austinium: i whould also look in /etc/apt/sources.list
[08:44] <austinium> anything particular that i should be looking for there?
[08:44] <austinium> i have tried keeping just one apt-line there, with the main server's URL in it
[08:44] <austinium> it didnt work
[08:44] <yigal> austinium: you are using the computer with the problems?
[08:44] <dittersdorf> Hi all. how do I install gnome desktop, with compiz effects, a-f-t-e-r installing mythubuntu?
[08:45] <austinium> have an ssh to it
[08:45] <nicksa> austinium: look for a missing space or malformed line !
[08:45] <yigal> austinium: but does it have web access?
[08:45] <austinium> yigal:yes
[08:45] <johnson_> #mythubuntu
[08:45] <austinium> can browse fine
[08:45] <yigal> austinium: ok
[08:46] <nicksa> Well it appears to be attempting to resolve 'in.archive.ubuntu.com:http'
[08:46] <johnson_> is it possible to pause a terminal process ans start again later
[08:46] <Severian> austinium, will you put your /etc/apt/sources.lst in a pastebin?
[08:46] <austinium> i have also tried disabling all 3rd party repos...still no go
[08:47] <llutz> austinium: "echo $http_proxy" is empty? "grep -ri proxy /etc/apt/* " any output?
[08:47] <austinium> Severian: in a moment
[08:47] <yigal> johnson_: what do you mean, you can put something away with <CTRL>z
[08:47] <yigal> johnson_: bring it back with fg
[08:47] <yigal> johnson_: though I'm not sure if that's what you're trying to do
[08:48] <austinium> sources.list - http://pastebin.com/NrfKA82f
[08:48] <johnson_> yigal: i meant to restart a downloading process which interrupted due to connection problems
[08:48] <yigal> austinium: well from what you're telling us, it isn't the repos
[08:48] <yigal> johnson_: usually not but curl and wget can
[08:48] <yigal> johnson_: or if your are bit torrenting
[08:49] <yigal> johnson_: if you are using wget make sure to use the -c switch so that you can start from where you left off
[08:49] <__machine> is it possible to use PAM to authenticate SFTP users against a different passwd file (e.g. created with htpasswd) so i can give people sftp access only without creating a system account? and can i make all files created by these "virtual" users be owner/group sftpuser or something?
[08:49] <dittersdorf> Hi all. how do I install gnome desktop, with compiz effects, a-f-t-e-r installing mythubuntu or xubuntu or kubuntu?

[08:50] <austinium> thanks a lot people, good day
[08:50] <nicksa> austinium: that was on my mind !

[08:50] <dittersdorf> thank yigal. i'm looking for something more basic. how to install gnome desktop?

[08:50] <yigal> johnson_: so wget -c <address>
[08:51] <johnson_> yigal: thanks it is a new knowledge to me
[08:51] <yigal> johnson_: I think you understand how useful it can be though :D
[08:52] <johnson_> yigal: that man was trying to install gnome shell packages
[08:53] <yigal> johnson_: oh? from apt, git, or ?
[08:53] <yigal> johnson_: I guess static file

[09:13] <prakashg> the status of system(smbmount...) must be different for success and for failure but it is always giving -1 in my program
[09:13] <Octodigit> or something else?
[09:13] <Severian> prakashg, nevermind, I did not use Python.  I just have a bash shell script.  Would that help?

[09:15] <revilodraw> Octodigit: ok, i'm not great with the shell. how do i do that?
[09:15] <johnson_> TuffPoo; might be ur monitor not supported or u missing graphics drivers
[09:15] <Tensibai> Hi there
