[05:26] <shaiguitar> and I want to get that compiled in, but rather not do it from soruce, rather use some supported way...
[05:26] <jaddison> shaiguitar: if you want to compile in support, you'll need to download the source.
[05:26] <shaiguitar> or at least a way that is maintainable
[05:26] <shaiguitar> srsly?
[05:26] <reisio> for serious
[05:26] <Squarism> reisio, ok.. so i uncommented it... and then run "sudo swapon -a"
[05:26] <jaddison> .deb files are precompiled.
[05:26] <Mitsukaru> i guess that makes sense
[05:26] <Squarism> swapon: cannot find the device for UUID=f29fad6a-2128-4007-abae-edb80bf97026
[05:26] <Squarism> swapon: /dev/mapper/cryptswap1: stat failed: No such file or directory
[05:26] <shaiguitar> then the ubuntu apt stuff won't be "updated" no?
[05:26] <Squarism> ...reisio <-- and got the above
[05:27] <jaddison> True.  You maintain it separately from apt packages, shaiguitar.
[05:27] <shaiguitar> well could I at least make my own deb file I guess? or register it with aptitude or what not?
[05:27] <shaiguitar> jaddison: that's sort of lame?
[05:27] <jaddison> shaiguitar: Of that, I'm not sure.  Perhaps you could.
[05:27] <jaddison> Personally, I wouldn't bother.
[05:27] <shaiguitar> I don't see why there shouldn't be some way
[05:27] <shaiguitar> why not?
[05:27] <jaddison> But that's just me.
[05:27] <Squarism> reisio, do i need to reboot?
[05:27] <jaddison> I couldn't be bothered.  ;)
[05:27] <Mitsukaru> ubuntu has encrypted swap now?
[05:28] <jaddison> So, has anyone else run into Wifi issues with 11.10 and a RT2860 chipset?  I'd love to move ahead with my server installation.
[05:28] <reisio> Squarism: dunno, it's strange blkid doesn't show it
[05:29] <reisio> Squarism: if you're sure it's sda5, try sudo mkswap /dev/sda5 && sudo swapon /dev/sda5
[05:30] <reisio> or you could try a reboot I s'pose
[05:31] <Squarism> ok.. ill try a reboot
[05:32] <Besogon> OMG!!!! I've found where the session list is saved !! Ha ha ha.. Now I'm gonna change it
[05:32] <Besogon> may be
[05:34] <phrostbite> Is there another way of managing a vpn other than using network manager?
[05:34] <Squarism> reisio, reboot didnt give any swap
[05:35] <Squarism> how can one list all physical partitions a harddisk has?
[05:36] <reisio> fdisk -l
[05:36] <reisio> if blkid isn't seeing it, I'd venture to say that means the system doesn't recognize it as anything
[05:37] <reisio> which suggests it was never mkswap'd
[05:37] <reisio> could be wrong, though
[05:37] <Squarism> in fstab, the line above the swapstuff says  "# swap was on /dev/sdb5 during installation"
[05:37] <reisio> in any even you can sudo mkswap /dev/sda5 && sudo swapon /dev/sda5, and use /dev/sda5 in /etc/fstab instead of that UUID and it _should_ work
[05:38] <reisio> Squarism: right that's just FYI, since Ubuntu uses UUIDs
[05:39] <infocus> how can I not confuse the printing side when I print first odd pages, then turn the paper to print even pages at the back? It seems that the order in which the pages come out is reversed, first page last, last page first
[05:40] <Squarism> reisio, hey
[05:40] <Squarism> i got swap!
[05:40] <reisio> hi
[05:40] <Squarism> thanx man
[05:40] <reisio> gj
[05:40] <reisio> np homie
[05:40] <winchendonspring> Can someone tell me what repo the Firefox 8 update came from? I haven't seen it yet
[05:41] <adnap> i've installed xmonad and am trying to creating an xession which integrates gnome and xmonad. i've created an xmonad-gnome.desktop file in /usr/share/xsessions which references my xmonad.session file in /usr/share/gnome-session/sessions. however, when i tried to run this xsession, lightdm complains that it can't find the session "xmonad"
[05:42] <dr_willis> !ff
[05:43] <xangua> winchendonspring: if you don't use oneiric use fx ppa
[05:43] <xangua> !fx6
[05:44] <winchendonspring> xangua: I use oneiric
[05:45] <hilarie> Does anyone know how to use a BNC server for Xchat?
[05:45] <n2diy> Ok, I've been using linux for ten years, and it just occurred to me, that I don't know how to write a simple "Hello World" program!? In the old days I'd use Qbasic, but what do I use now, Bash?
[05:46] <hilarie> n2diy Python!
[05:46] <hilarie> python type it in terminal, then type print "hello world, Hilarie rocks"
[05:46] <n2diy> hilarie, is that part of the base install?
[05:46] <XaeroX252> Okay, I'm hoping to turn some heads here, but I'm working on getting Netflix support working on Ubuntu. I've made progress (I've managed to get a loading bar on the Instant watch screen, but it errors out) Enabling logging through chromium, I see this error directly related, and am asking here for ideas on how to correct it:
[05:46] <xangua> winchendonspring: then run the update manager and you will see fx8
[05:47] <hilarie> n2diy yep
[05:47] <xangua> or you already are using it
[05:47] <n2diy> hilarie, is it in the app. menus, or do I need to start it in the terminal?
[05:48] <XaeroX252> pepper_plugin_registry.cc(135) Unable to load plugin /opt/google/chrome/pepper/netflixplugin.so libssl.so.0.9.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[05:48] <hilarie> n2diy its a terminal thing, just type in python
[05:48] <dr_willis> XaeroX252:  native netflix support is comming sometime  'soon' i hear.
[05:48] <Resistance> n2diy, you need to open a terminal window and then type in "python" and hit enter
[05:48] <Amdpc> Hi ....How to shange Network name ???
[05:49] <XaeroX252> @drwillis: This is via the native netflix plugin from chromium, which shouldn't be much different from what we will be receiving.
[05:49] <dr_willis> !hostname
[05:49] <n2diy> hilarie, Resistance, cool, thanks.
[05:49] <dr_willis> !tab
[05:49] <XaeroX252> @drwillis: or rather, from chromeOS
[05:49] <Resistance> XaeroX252, to highlight someone, don't include the @
[05:50] <Resistance> XaeroX252, this is IRC, not StackOverflow chat ;P
[05:50] <XaeroX252> Resistance, sorry force of habit.
[05:50] <KM0201> i always thought @ in front of the name would work also.
[05:50] <Resistance> XaeroX252, i hear ya ;P
[05:50] <Resistance> KM0201, it sometimes works, but some clients dont read it as such
[05:50] <dr_willis> if he got the nick right...
[05:50] <KM0201> i see.
[05:50] <winchendonspring> xangua: I do not see firefox 8
[05:50] <XaeroX252> dr_willis true, would help if I just used autolinking for nicks.
[05:52] <xangua> !info firefox oneiric | winchendonspring
[05:53] <winchendonspring> xangua: hmm
[05:54] <XaeroX252> Oh wow, I can't believe I forgot about LDD, LDD netflixplugin.so reveals all of the missing dependencies, which are (on this current installation) a few open source utilities for video, and one driver that is clearly proprietary.. looks like I need to get in touch of a Chromebook owner to finish this one off.
[05:55] <XaeroX252> I almost can't believe that netflixplugin.so from a chromebook is a proper elf file.
[05:55] <Mitsukaru> i like elves.
[05:56] <mysticete> Just wanted to thank the guys that pointed me in the right direction for the ALSA config question.
[05:56] <mysticete> so thanks.  and later.
[05:56] <adnap> anyone know the answer to my problem of lightdm not loading .session files?
[05:57] <shoolem> What is the file that starts the screensaver daemon? I want to disable gnome-screensaver and enable xscreensaver
[05:58] <Mitsukaru> afaik gnome doesnt have screensavers anymore
[05:58] <Mitsukaru> so you can just install xscreensaver
[05:59] <sandman__> Hi, I get errors trying to use Gedit/Kate to open any file even under su http://pastebin.com/7PsNQuW2
[05:59] <shoolem> it does and I can't get rid of them.  installing xscreensaver does just that, but gnome SS is still installed and activated.
[06:00] <Mitsukaru> what happens when you just try to remove the package for gnome-screensaver?
[06:01] <shoolem> not sure I want to. my guess is there will be no ss active.  I've found sites that tell what the name of the startup file is, but they're not correct on my system
[06:02] <sandman__> Can someone help me? http://pastebin.com/7PsNQuW2
[06:03] <dr_willis> sandman__:  use gksudo for gui apps as root

[06:11] <SmashingX> hello guys, does annybody know how can I set a path for a executable file, I mean every time I want to execute a file I don't have to go to the path and type the name of the file, just type it anywhere and it will execute?
[06:12] <dr_willis> SmashingX:  put it in your /home/username/bin
[06:13] <rumpe1> SmashingX, either add its directory to your $PATH-variable or link/copy/move it to a folder in your $PATH
[06:13] <dr_willis> a ln -s   link will work there
[06:13] <SmashingX> how can I add its directory to my path-variable?

[06:15] <meadhikari> Any command line torrent client that i can compile the source code, please help
[06:15] <dr_willis> meadhikari: several. try rtottent
[06:15] <Mitsukaru> meadhikari: you want an open-source command-line torrent client?
[06:16] <Mitsukaru> rtorrent
[06:16] <meadhikari> Mitsukaru, yes and the source
[06:16] <meadhikari> where can i find the source code for rtorrent
[06:16] <dr_willis> transmission has a cli mode i thought
[06:16] <gr0uch`> can someone tell me... if you use an aircard does your ip show the original state you got the card in?? i know someone that claims to have an aircard in ca and hes in NV but the ip is CA..????
[06:16] <jordan> transmission has a cli mode (and a curses-based remote control)
[06:17] <jordan> you can get the source code for transmission from http://transmissionbt.com/download/
[06:17] <Mitsukaru> rtorrent is a curses interface for libtorrent
[06:17] <gr0uch`> anyone know ?? can the range be that far that they are in another state showing an ip or somewhere else without a bouncer?
[06:18] <Jordan_U> heeeegua__: What do you see before it reboots?
[06:18] <jordan> rtorrent's at http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/wiki/Download
[06:18] <dr_willis> whats an 'aircard'
[06:19] <gr0uch`> person claims there ip is from an aircard purchased in another state. just wondering if this is possible
[06:19] <gr0uch`> ive heard they use cell phone towers
[06:19] <Mitsukaru> gr0uch`: what are you, um, talking about?
[06:20] <gr0uch`> never heard of an aircard?
[06:21] <sharpK> what's the easiest way to get full mouse functionality in 11.10?
[06:21] <sharpK> ie rest of the buttons
[06:22] <dr_willis> gr0uch`:  if the thing uses a static ip bases on its mac. it could get assugned the same ip
[06:22] <gr0uch`> the ip is dynamic, not a proxy
[06:24] <luckyluke51> .quit
[06:25] <dr_willis> it could still get the ip based on mac untill the lease expires
[06:26] <pppurple> is there any one that would be will to help answer some basic questions for a begginer getting into ubuntu?
[06:26] <hilarie> pppurple ask away
[06:26] <dr_willis> pppurple: just ask and see
[06:27] <pppurple> whats the best way to install it and also have windows installed as a back up?
[06:27] <pawan_tejwani> ubuntu not booting after installation
[06:27] <KM0201> pppurple: set up a dual boot system
[06:28] <xangua> !dualboot | pppurple
[06:28] <pppurple> and you just choose your OS when you start your comp with a dual boot correct? i havent played with Dual boot stuff so im just trying to iron out my knowldege before i do something dumb
[06:28] <KM0201> yes
[06:29] <pawan_tejwani> do we have to make any changes in the BIOS to make ubuntu boot from separate HDD other than selecting the drive on which ubuntu has to be installed seperately as first boot drive
[06:29] <KM0201> pppurple: you will have to partition your drive though
[06:29] <pppurple> can you turn the notification off in IRC that tells who is joining and disconnecting? really kind annoying
[06:30] <KM0201> pppurple: probably, but that depends on your client
[06:30] <pppurple> hmmm k
[06:30] <Guest31920> What would be the best way to back up my files/programs if I were to do a clean install of an updated image?
[06:30] <Guest31920> would dd be ok for it?
[06:30] <pppurple> so i have a windows c: drive and a d: drive could i use the D drive for Ubuntu?
[06:30] <KM0201> yes
[06:32] <KM0201> pppurple: you would just have to "manually" install in order to do that.. but.. it's not hard.
[06:33] <pppurple> i feel dumb using IRC and getting ready to install a linux OS. how can i copy paste off this chat to open that like someone posted of how to Dual boot?
[06:33] <KM0201> pppurple: can i send you a private message?
[06:33] <pppurple> yes
[06:33] <Jordan_U> pppurple: Do you have multiple physical drives or multiple partitions on a single drive? (What Windows calls "drives" are actually partitions, which can be confusing).
[06:34] <pppurple> hmmm i understand the partition but im not sure if its 2 drives or a partition
[06:34] <KM0201> pppurple: look for a tab or something with my name on it, i just sent you a message.
[06:35] <jaddison> FYI, if anyone has trouble getting their RT2860 wifi chipset to work with Ubuntu 11.10 (server version for me) after a fresh install, disable IPv6 in /etc/network/interfaces.  Worked for me.
[06:35] <jaddison> Night all.
[06:35] <sharpK> what's the easiest way to get full mouse functionality in 11.10?
[06:37] <aruncn1> how can i change ubuntuone folder to different location ?
[06:41] <gnuskool> Any recommended sbs based on server ubuntu?
[06:43] <aruncn1> any ideas?
[06:43] <Huh> ?
[06:44] <sharpK> does anyone have their mouse buttons working in 11.10?
[06:44] <aruncn1> how can i change ubuntuone folder to different location ?
[06:44] <andyn> sharpK: yes, and they work very well indeed. mine has only two plus a clickable wheel, though.
[06:45] <sharpK> two as in left and right click?

[07:27] <BluebirdShao> which software can view 'dwg' files for free?
[07:28] <BluebirdShao> guys?
[07:29] <tonyyarusso> BluebirdShao: Honestly, probably nothing.
[07:29] <Snicksie> BluebirdShao, it seems this program can do the job for you: http://lx-viewer.sourceforge.net/
[07:29] <Snicksie> but im not sure, i've never tried...
[07:30] <BluebirdShao> Snicksie: Thank you all the same.
[07:30] <BluebirdShao> Snicksie: I will take a try.
[07:32] <Snicksie> seems here's a list of autocad-like programs, some of them might support dwg files too: http://www.tech-edv.co.at/05_LUnIx/80_CAD~2f3d/10_CAD~20Links/index.php @ BluebirdShao

[07:41] <zerofly> Hi guys.
[07:41] <zerofly> What tool do you use for python on Ubuntu?
[07:41] <kcm1700> I use vim & python
[07:42] <zerofly> kcm1700, you use vim coding with python?
[07:42] <kcm1700> yes
[07:42] <killown> I constantly get system panics - the scroll lock and caps lock keyboard lights flash and so I need reset the system in the case, do anyone have any idea how can I discover where is this error is from? I looked for dmesg and system logs and I can't find something useful
[07:43] <Math^> Hello, I've very very low sound when recording with recordmydesktop, tho all my sliders in the mixer are 100%, and a Skype testcall works good too... how can I fix this?
[07:44] <zerofly> Okey, kcm1700. Thanks!
[08:00] <LigH> Greetings.
[08:01] <LigH> Where can I find information about probably compatible models to not exactly supported printers?
[08:02] <tonyyarusso> LigH: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport is one place to look
[08:08] <LigH> tonyyarusso: Thanks, seems to be a bit more complex via Cupswrapper...
[08:16] <Captain_Crow> is it possible to get a virus on ubuntu or wine?
[08:16] <auronandace> !virus | Captain_Crow
[08:19] <Captain_Crow> that sounds confusing...
[08:24] <MrWGW> hey there; I accidentally deleted my /etc/fstab on an ubuntu 10.04 box which is currently running at a remote site; I do not have remote access to it
[08:24] <MrWGW> can I recover by replacing it with a copy of /etc/mtab?
[08:25] <MrWGW> to be precise I accidentally overwrote /etc/fstab with an incorrect one
[08:25] <MrWGW> deployment script accident...
[08:25] <dr_willis> MrWGW: check mount command output also
[08:26] <dr_willis> and mtab, and try to remake fstab.
[08:27] <iceroot> Captain_Crow: on both it is technical possible
[08:27] <dr_willis> make the script make backups in the future.
[08:27] <iceroot> Captain_Crow: but there is no need to worry on GNU/Linux about that topic. On wine it is possible, some viruses for windows also working there but normally not doing anything bad
[08:28] <Math^> Please, annoying can help me with Recordmydesktop? :)
[08:29] <Math^> I tried everything, but it's recording very very low sound
[08:30] <harsh343> how to delete particular folder on remote site through terminal

[08:36] <dr_willis> oreilly
[08:36] <MrWGW> is it possible to view the UUID of a moutned partition by the way?
[08:36] <gnome-xchat> thanks
[08:37] <dr_willis> !!uuid
[08:37] <MrWGW> that said dr_willis I would assume that there's no problem if I use /dev/sd* in the /etc/fstab?   I have done this many times on other distros
[08:38] <MrWGW> the only problem would be of course if something occurred which changed the /dev/sd* address, like if sda became sdb
[08:38] <MrWGW> I would think, right?
[08:38] <soreau> MrWGW: It should still work by addressing it directly, yes
[08:38] <technokid> anyone knows alternative to wicd and gnome network manager
[08:39] <MrWGW> thanks soreau

[08:40] <harsh343> rm: cannot remove `/var/www/Dashboard_check': Is a directory
[08:40] <soreau> technokid: iwconfig, wpa_supplicant, dhclient
[08:41] <harsh343> I want to remove only this folder Dashboard_check
[08:41] <nhocht> how to learn programming on ubuntu11.10?
[08:41] <technokid> thanks soreau i am having problems with ppp and i am using wvdial but network manager doesnt detect it
[08:41] <dr_willis> harsh343:  use rmdir fir a directory. and you should spwnd 30 min reading some bash tutorials
[08:42] <harsh343> ok
[08:42] <soreau> ! ppp | technokid
[08:42] <harsh343> dr_willis, rmdir: failed to remove `/var/www/Dashboard_check': Directory not empty

[08:43] <scarleo> Hi, I suddenly have a problem with Firefox not wanting to open but download .aspx generated HTML Text. If I choose to open with Firefox as default it creates a new tab in an endless loop 'til FF crashes
[08:43] <scarleo> The link works fine on another Ubuntu 11.10 PC with firefox
[08:44] <mohanr2222_1> hey guys.. i have a weird problem... I hav 2 computers.. One with wifi (and internet) and one without.. If both are connected through ethernet cable, is is it possible to get internet on the comp without wifi? if yes, how?
[08:44] <iceroot> !ics | mohanr2222_1
[08:44] <technokid> thanks ubottu
[08:45] <soreau> mohanr2222_1: You need a crossover cable in most cases and you would have to setup connection sharing
[08:45] <dr_willis> mohanr2222_1: a cheap router is handy also
[08:46] <mohanr2222_1> the one without wifi is a very old one..
[08:47] <soreau> dr_willis: also convenient to have some cat5/6, some RJ-45s, a crimper and a switch but not everyone has everything ;)
[08:47] <mohanr2222_1> i am trying to run xampp in it and use it as a local webserver
[08:48] <harsh343> dr_willis, sudo rmdir -R /var/www/Dashboard_check is this ok ?
[08:48] <mohanr2222_1> brb, my mouse froze again
[08:48] <Corey> dr_willis: That'll only blow out empty directories.
[08:49] <LigH> Greetings again.
[08:50] <harsh343> dr_willis, rm -rf /var/www/Dashboard_check ???
[08:51] <dr_willis> i always cd to the dir. and do rm -rf foo
[08:51] <dr_willis> a typo with sudo rm -rf can be bad
[08:52] <dr_willis> very bad
[08:52] <harsh343> dr_willis, which one i am using ?
[08:52] <LigH> My Update manager lists updateable Seamonkey packages, but they appear disabled, can't be checked. May I have to update manually?
[08:52] <dr_willis> if you do  / var/foi    see the space? it will delete your is
[08:52] <dr_willis> os
[08:53] <dr_willis> cd to the dir and dont use tge full path
[08:54] <dr_willis> cd foo
[08:54] <dr_willis> rm -rf bar
[08:55] <harsh343> dr_willis, can You please give me the command I do not want to take risk because (remove command can remove all data)
[08:55] <dr_willis> replace foo and bar above as needed
[08:56] <harsh343> ok
[08:57] <dr_willis> you could just move or rename the dir if you are worried about it
[08:57] <harsh343> dr_willis, live:/var/www#
[08:57] <harsh343> live:/var/www# sudo rm -rf Dashboard_check this is ok ?
[08:58] <dr_willis> if you made no typos ut looks oj
[08:58] <harsh343> ??
[08:59] <dr_willis> seriousseriously spend some time with a few bash tutorials.
[08:59] <harsh343> dr_willis, ok
[09:00] <dr_willis> its taken you 20 min for a 20 sec command
[09:01] <Administrator> hi
[09:02] <Guest32621> Hi,
[09:02] <Guest32621> Hi,
[09:02] <soreau> harsh343: Usually, I use ls /path/to/file_name to make sure its what I want before running any commands to change the file
[09:03] <harsh343> soreau, ok thats really Good
[09:06] <dr_willis> echo *.txt   or other regrexps to test pattern/wildcards also
[09:06] <harsh343> dr_willis, yes my command works
[09:07] <Captain_Crow> I downloaded "wubi" and tried to install it and im getting a "no disk" error and a new error pops up every time i click cancle
[09:07] <soreau> Captain_Crow: I would have to suggest trying a live session instead of wubi
[09:08] <soreau> but if you must..
[09:08] <soreau> ! wubi
[09:11] <harsh343> soreau, I want to copy a folder from my sytem to remote server I know cp -r command is used for that but hows from my local system to remote server
[09:11] <Captain_Crow> ubuntu looks confusing
[09:11] <soreau> harsh343: scp
[09:11] <llutz_> harsh343: scp -r
[09:11] <Captain_Crow> why are there different installation sizes?
[09:12] <soreau> ! scp | harsh343
[09:12] <soreau> Captain_Crow: What do you mean?
[09:12] <harsh343> soreau, why scp ?
[09:12] <Captain_Crow> for installing it asks for installation size 5GB-30GB
[09:13] <soreau> harsh343: Because you want to copy a file to another machine, presumably over a network
[09:13] <harsh343> ok
[09:13] <harsh343> is this ok ? scp -r /var/www/Dashboard_check /var/www/Dashboard_check
[09:13] <soreau> Captain_Crow: You can tell it how much to use
[09:13] <soreau> harsh343: no, that isnt specifying the destination target
[09:14] <harsh343> so hows ?
[09:14] <llutz_> harsh343: see ubottu and "man scp"
[09:14] <azatoth_work> Dunno if it's a problem or not, bug when I'm trying to update the kernel atm, it's been stuck on "run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/postinst.d/dkms 3.0.0-14-generic /boot/vmlinuz-3.0.0-14-generic" for minutes now; the process "/sbin/depmod -a 3.0.0-14-generic -F /boot/System.map-3.0.0-14-generic" is constantly eating 50% of one core.
[09:14] <azatoth_work> but*
[09:14] <soreau> harsh343: For example, scp /path/to/file_name user@<IP_ADDRESS>:/path/to/destination/folder/
[09:15] <Captain_Crow> soreau what is the advantage of installing the 30GB version of the 5GB version?
[09:15] <Captain_Crow>  over* the 5GB version
[09:15] <soreau> Captain_Crow: Its not different versions, its just telling how much hard drive space to allocate
[09:15] <azatoth_work> can I kill the process, or will my system go totally broken then?
[09:16] <Captain_Crow> that sounds confusing
[09:16] <soreau> Captain_Crow: The default install is well under 5GB, 15GB should be enough to try it, 30GB should last for plenty of time if you arent populating the drive with exceedingly large files
[09:16] <azatoth_work> core == CPU core
[09:16] <Guest32621> Hi,
[09:17] <Captain_Crow> i need to have a second harddrive?
[09:17] <soreau> Captain_Crow: no
[09:18] <soreau> azatoth_work: If you have given it a considerable amount of time and it really us stuck, you can kill it and try running it again..
[09:18] <dr_willis> a hard drive can be partitioned Captain_Crow
[09:18] <Captain_Crow> so installing it partitions the drive?
[09:18] <azatoth_work> soreau, I'll try
[09:18] <azatoth_work> (it's still stuck)
[09:19] <dr_willis> Captain_Crow:  a normal install. yes.. wubi. no
[09:19] <soreau> Captain_Crow: Partitioning is a way to separate a hard drive into parts, for installing multiple different operating systems for example
[09:19] <soreau> Captain_Crow: wubi does some magic that basically puts the install on your windows ntfs file system. This is slower and can suffer from a variety of other issues
[09:19] <llutz_> Captain_Crow: wubi will create one big file on your windows-fs as an container for the linux-installation
[09:19] <dr_willis> Captain_Crow: you could try it out in virtualbox to learn about ut
[09:19] <Captain_Crow> i just want to sample ubuntu to see how it works, i thought wubi made ubuntu run in a window like a program?
[09:20] <faLUCE> hi, Is there an easy way to change the name of a user and therefore his home directory ?
[09:20] <soreau> Captain_Crow: No, for that you want virtual box
[09:20] <dr_willis> Captain_Crow:  not IN a window
[09:20] <dr_willis> vbox does that :-)
[09:20] <harsh343> soreau, but it also takes alots of time to copy
[09:21] <soreau> harsh343: Is that a random comment or are you making some statement leading to a point?
[09:21] <harsh343> is is only a comment like filezilla
[09:22] <harsh343> it also take time to copy
[09:22] <rohitmobme> hii!!! how can i 'mv' files created today to a different directory ..( any single line command for the same)
[09:22] <Captain_Crow> what is the difference between ubuntu, kubuntu, xubuntu, and mythbuntu?
[09:22] <llutz_> rohitmobme: find path/ -mtime -1d -exec mv .....
[09:22] <iceroot> Captain_Crow: the preinstalled desktop-packages
[09:23] <iceroot> Captain_Crow: kubuntu = kde4, xubuntu = xfce4, ubuntu = gnome3/unity, mythbuntu = mythtv + gnome
[09:23] <soreau> harsh343: It takes time to do anything which is the very basis of how the world works
[09:23] <Captain_Crow> i dont know what those are
[09:23] <harsh343> soreau, ok
[09:24] <rohitmobme> llutz_ thanks
[09:24] <Captain_Crow> does it make the desktop look different or something?
[09:24] <llutz_> rohitmobme: "man find" for correct options
[09:24] <dr_willis> time to research a bit.. or just use ubuntu
[09:24] <dr_willis> !kde
[09:24] <soreau> llutz: nice
[09:25] <Captain_Crow> which version is the best?
[09:25] <soreau> Captain_Crow: Yes, the desktop environment is a set of programs that work together
[09:25] <soreau> ! best
[09:26] <Captain_Crow> I just don't know which one to install :/
[09:26] <soreau> Captain_Crow: virtualbox is probably the easiest way to try ubuntu in a window.. on windows. Search youtube to see the different desktop environments in action
[09:26] <rohitmobme> llutz_ : yeah.... i m looking out for it...hope i can find smthing to 'mv' all the files created on a specified date
[09:27] <Captain_Crow> i dont know what they are for though
[09:27] <llutz_> rohitmobme:   like :  find path/ -type f -mtime -1 -exec mv "{}" target/ \;
[09:28] <soreau> Captain_Crow: For example, kde is a bit heavier (uses more cpu and takes more hard drive space) but could be considered prettier and more user friendly while xfce is lighter (uses less cpu and hard drive space) but could be considered more rudimentary and basic
[09:28] <StryKaizer> I'm looking for a crossplatform password manager.  Using keepassx atm, but investing if there's a more powerfull option
[09:28] <hda1> Hi, can i create new user without login? Something like as adduser bla -s /bin/nologin
[09:28] <soreau> Captain_Crow: gnome typically is a happy medium and is the default for the official ubuntu distribution of linux
[09:29] <faLUCE> hi, Is there an easy way to change the name of a user and therefore his home directory ?
[09:29] <llutz_> hda1: using "useradd" you can
[09:30] <llutz_> hda1 adduser also has --shell  option
[09:30] <Captain_Crow> i'll just install it and see what happens i guess
[09:31] <soreau> Captain_Crow: Good idea. Also you can search youtube for videos
[09:32] <soreau> faLUCE: It might be easiest to create a new user and copy the contents of $HOME before deleting the old user
[09:32] <faLUCE> soreau: I see but what about hidden files? can I copy them too?
[09:33] <X99> Hi
[09:33] <soreau> faLUCE: yes, you could do something like this while logged in as the new user: cp -r /home/old_user $HOME && chown -R $USER $HOME
[09:33] <llutz_> faLUCE: cp -ax old new/          make sure new user is member of the same groups as the old one
[09:34] <soreau> faLUCE: yea -a might be better since it copies ALL
[09:34] <Yanch0> guys im having problems on a newly installed mythubuntu - should i ask a question about video problems here on on mythv?
[09:34] <llutz_> -a = archive, not all
[09:34] <soreau> oh woops..
[09:34] <faLUCE> llutz_: and -ax ?
[09:35]  * soreau goes to bang his head against a man page
[09:35] <llutz_> soreau: and btw, newuser cannot chown, only owner+root can
[09:35] <soreau> llutz: yea, I figured he would figure that out eventually
[09:35] <llutz_> faLUCE: copies only one filesystem if you have different fs mounted in your home
[09:35] <faLUCE> thnks
[09:36] <andrew_46> Yanch0: what sort of video problems?
[09:36] <Yanch0>  on first boot (in live cd it was ok) just after posting, i get a lot of green bars and funny stuff on the monitor for a couple of seconds (Say 30) then the screen goes black- hard disk seems to be still active for another minute or so. any ideas what to look at pls ?
[09:37] <hda1> Hi, can i create new user without login in ubuntu? Somethin like adduser bla -s /bin/nologin
[09:37] <soreau> faLUCE: cp --help
[09:37] <llutz_> hda1 adduser  has --shell  option
[09:38] <soreau> Yanch0: sounds like possible missing firmware. Anything in dmesg?
[09:38] <hda1> llutz Yes, i know, but i cannot find nologin
[09:38] <llutz_> hda1: "which nologin"
[09:39] <llutz_> hda1: its a command, not a question
[09:39] <Yanch0> soreau, can't even do ctrl + alt + f1
[09:39] <soreau> Yanch0: Try booting with nomodeset. What gpu is it?
[09:39] <llutz_> hda1: /usr/sbin/nologin here on 10.10
[09:40] <phlak_user> hda1, also on 11.10
[09:41] <hda1> llutz yes. 10x to u. Super.
[09:41] <Yanch0> soreau, good thing is that ssh works
[09:41] <moose-machine> hi. i have been struggling with this for a while. does anyone know how to change the dvd region code of the computer once all the user-initiated change options are exhausted through ubuntu?
[09:41] <Yanch0> http://pastebin.com/ZPFCzHep no errors here
[09:42] <hda1> bye
[09:42] <soreau> Yanch0: Right, so ssh in and review dmesg
[09:42] <dr_willis> moose-machine:  i thought it was the dvd drive that had regions.
[09:43] <soreau> Yanch0: What gpu (lspci|grep VGA) and what version of ubuntu?
[09:43] <moose-machine> dr_willis: yes that is right.
[09:43] <dva_> hello!
[09:43] <moose-machine> dr_willis: any clue if it can be reset via ubuntu?
[09:43] <dr_willis> moose-machine:  you are allowed so many changes then it locks i recall
[09:44] <moose-machine> dr_willis: ouch
[09:44] <dr_willis> moose-machine:  i just image my dvds and never need to change the drives region
[09:44] <moose-machine> dr_willis: so the only option is to take it to a technician?
[09:44] <dr_willis> some apps may ignore the region.
[09:45] <moose-machine> dr_willis: i see. i am trying to help a friend out. i thought that installing ubuntu in his laptop would circumvent the problem
[09:45] <dr_willis> he changed his region a lot?
[09:45] <llutz_> moose-machine: you also want to google for alternative firmwares (regionfree) for that drive
[09:45] <moose-machine> dr_willis: i think he bought a second hand one, so the previous owner may have done his bit
[09:46] <moose-machine> llutz: thanks. but i am sorry i didn't understand the meaning of 'alternative firmware'.
[09:46] <dr_willis> vlc i think can bypass it
[09:47] <moose-machine> dr_willis: that is the first one i tried but it doesn't play. however it does play dvds from the currently set region
[09:47] <stix> Hi guys. I can set a title on my Terminal tabs/windows with this command: export PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;"TITLE"\007"' - but everytime I put the command into a script, it doesn't work. Why's that?
[09:48] <tsdead> i have problem with skype and sound
[09:48] <andyn> well, i guess that no prompt gets drawn inside a script.
[09:49] <moose-machine> i installed regionset; however it tells me that there are 4 vendor resets available; but 0 user controlled changes available on this dvd drive
[09:51] <dr_willis> stix:  export the variable and source the script. dont run it
[09:51] <dr_willis> stix:   source setmyprompt.sh
[09:52] <stix> dr_willis: can I do it within a script?
[09:52] <dr_willis> see bash prompt howto
[09:52] <stix> okay

[10:08] <freakynl> hi, having an issue with 11.04 live. On most computers it runs just fine, but now I have one where I see a gdm logon prompt (it should automatically log on) with an automatic login thingy, but clicking that immediately returns me to the logon prompt again
[10:08] <freakynl> any way to bypass it? Just need to secure some files on the computer before reinstalling it
[10:09] <linuxuz3r> is it gdm or plymouth
[10:09] <freakynl> I don't know, looks like gdm, dunno plymouth tho'
[10:09] <linuxuz3r> freakynl: try deleting your stuff in the home directory
[10:09] <linuxuz3r> its a settings problem most likely
[10:10] <freakynl> no it's gdm
[10:10] <freakynl> it works fine on other computers, kinda hard throwing stuff away since I can't get it, doesn't appear to have consoles either (ctrl+alt+F[1-6] don't show logon prompts)
[10:10] <tero> what filesystem should i use on a external usb hdd that i can read and write in ubuntu, windows and osx? i have a lot of large video files
[10:11] <freakynl> s/get it/get in/
[10:11] <llutz_> tero: ntfs (not sure about os x)
[10:11] <freakynl> tero: you're screwed
[10:11] <freakynl> osx has no ntfs afaik

[10:13] <scarleo> How can I fix it?
[10:15] <llutz_> tero: freakynl snowleopard can read ntfs and has a hidden write-function for ntfs, so it should be the fs to go
[10:15] <tero> hidden write-function...
[10:15] <tero> hmm
[10:15] <freakynl> sorry dunno iphone (and hate apple, they're worse than ms). My android can just turn into a wireless access point to share the internet, seems much easier to me... not sure if there are iphone thingies to do the same (doubt it since apple is a serious dictator when it comes to this kind of access)
[10:15] <tero> i don't like the sound of that
[10:15] <tero> :)
[10:15] <llutz_> tero: not officially supported
[10:15] <harsh343> soreau, I think i have to change the permissions
[10:16] <soreau> harsh343: I have no idea

[10:28] <harsh343> deej1976, Hello
[10:33] <deej1976> harsh343: I'm here, but I can't help with your problem.
[10:34] <harsh343> deej1976, hi here is my question http://pastebin.com/0Ha4b5ru
[10:34] <freakynl> vagothcpp: it might, firefox is becoming bloated in rapid pace
[10:34] <Anomie211> Does anyone know a way to install build-essentials or linux-source without an direct internet connection? (I can still download via this PC and move via USB)
[10:34] <freakynl> Anomie211: yea download the files and run dpkg -i <filename>
[10:35] <deej1976> chown -R www-data:root Dashboard_check
[10:35] <deej1976> harsh343: chown -R www-data:root Dashboard_check
[10:35] <Anomie211> freakynl: I can't find the files anywhere and when I was in here the other day most people reckoned they wouldnt be available online.
[10:36] <Anomie211> freaknyl: All that I could find were 'meta-packages' apparently, which just gave instructions on where to download from...
[10:37] <freakynl> Anomie211: read them then, not that familiar with ubuntu, I use the live version quite often but run gentoo myself
[10:37] <almoxarife> is it possible to sync google calendar to evolutions calendar?
[10:37] <Anomie211> freakynl: Wha? read what?
[10:37] <acibademli_74> hello!
[10:37] <freakynl> or browse this: ftp://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/os/linux/ubuntu/pool/
[10:38] <freakynl> Anomie211: the meta files, if they contain links, get the links from em :)
[10:38] <Anomie211> freakynl: I think you've misunderstood 'instructions'
[10:38] <acibademli_74> hello!
[10:38] <freakynl> Anomie211: I think you're missing the fact I don't get paid for this
[10:39] <Anomie211> freakynl: no wonder, you arent very good.
[10:39] <freakynl> Anomie211: welcome to ignore list
[10:39] <inashdeen> hi is there a good gui for ffmpeg to record esktop
[10:39] <acibademli_74> is there any application for linux which can make a burn(write) operation to the cd(or dvd) which is even rurned CD-R (or DVD-R) (even to damage the datas)?
[10:39] <oCean> !offline | Anomie211
[10:40] <harsh343> deej1976, I am able to change the permissions but my problem not solved http://pastebin.com/6UKdV1hT
[10:40] <Anomie211> Thank you oCean
[10:40] <harsh343> it works fine on my localhost
[10:41] <Anomie211> I just found a post online saying that build-essentials is on the install CD and that you can install it from there. This is from 2008 though does it still hold true? https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/build-essential/+question/49690
[10:43] <geirha> Anomie211: It doesn't look like the 11.10 desktop iso has it
[10:43] <Anomie211> geirha: Ah, ok thanks
[10:44] <geirha> Anomie211: The live session may have it installed though. I didn't check for that.
[10:45] <acibademli_74> is there any application for linux which can make a burn(write) operation to the cd(or dvd) which is even rurned CD-R (or DVD-R) (even to damage the datas)?
[10:46] <Anomie211> Am I doing this correct? It's returning no search results... http://i.imgur.com/zhxRI.png
[10:46] <geirha> acibademli_74: huh?
[10:46] <geirha> Anomie211: Without the plural s iirc
[10:47] <acibademli_74> geirha: as you heard. to do not look if exist a data on CD (or DVD).
[10:47] <Anomie211> geirha: thanks!

[10:48] <skilz> kHow do I permanently disable caps lock and num lock?
[10:48] <Anomie211> It spat out this URL http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/b/build-essential/build-essential_11.5ubuntu1_i386.deb   -- but it's only 5Kb? does that seem right?
[10:48] <geirha> acibademli_74: I don't know. A CD-R disc is only designed to be burned once. I don't know of any application that would allow you to burn the same part of the CD-R again.
[10:48] <andyn> skilz: by .Xmodmapping. at least it works for caps lock. lemme show you.
[10:48] <phlak_user> Anomie211, thats cos its a meta package; it will download a whole bunch of other packages
[10:48] <joseph_> hi guys
[10:49] <Anomie211> phlak_user: But I don't have internet :( I need the full package
[10:49] <acibademli_74> geirha: OK. thanks anyway.
[10:49] <freakynl> acibademli_74: if you want to make the data inaccessible just bend the cd a couple of times and it will shatter into thousands of pieces
[10:49] <phlak_user> Anomie211, if its in the component main, it should be on the DVD?
[10:49] <andyn> skilz: gedit ~/.Xmodmap and paste in this http://pastie.org/2932575
[10:50] <andyn> skilz: it gets loaded when you login; alternatively you can run xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap
[10:50] <joseph_> I would like to get  some informations on how to monitor samba on my linux box
[10:50] <Anomie211> phlak_user: The DVD? You mean the install CD? Someone just said in here that it wasnt included on that..
[10:50] <geirha> Anomie211: DVD != CD
[10:50] <joseph_> I would like to meseare the traffic and data volume passed over a week on my box
[10:50] <phlak_user> Anomie211, you should search for it on the DVD
[10:50] <acibademli_74>  freakynl: i need to damage cd without a physical damages when you look it from outside ( with your eyes ).
[10:51] <Anomie211> What DVD?
[10:52] <geirha> Anomie211: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download#dvd
[10:52] <Anomie211> geirha: ty
[10:52] <phlak_user> acibademli_74, scratch with a pin/needle
[10:53] <Anomie211> This the correct one?  ubuntu-11.10-preinstalled-desktop-armel+omap4.img.gz
[10:56] <acibademli_74>  phlak_user: the person which looks the CD (or DVD) from outside (with his eyes) must not understand if i damage the CD (or DVD). if i scratch the other people can understand if i damage the CD (or DVD).
[10:56] <skilz> Okay that disabled caps lock now what about num lock?

[10:58] <Anomie211> Ah, I think I've got the right one now [ubuntu-11.10-dvd-i386.iso    ]
[11:00] <Captain_Crow> hello
[11:01] <acibademli_74>  phlak_user: yes. we have all documants about out discuss. we need to make sure also if we can do this operation with an application (i think it must as root or something).
[11:01] <phlak_user> Anomie211, also look at this -> http://keryxproject.org/
[11:01] <soreau> ! who | skilz
[11:01] <Captain_Crow> so if i burn ubuntu onto a cd i can boot from the disk w/o installing it or something?
[11:02] <phlak_user> acibademli_74, whats the Ubuntu support question here? you want to physically deface a CD
[11:02] <skilz> andyl,
[11:02] <skilz> andyn
[11:02] <soreau> Captain_Crow: Yes, it runs in memory without modifying your system. Its called a live session
[11:02] <andyn> skilz: yes?
[11:02] <skilz> Okay that disabled caps lock now what about num lock?
[11:03] <acibademli_74> phlak_user: i did not ask this. i ask how to do with an application or it is possible to do with applcation? so someone(user here) write me do this. i told him that not with phisical damage! what the problem here...
[11:03] <soreau> skilz: Better to do nickname: message here, so they get highlighted
[11:03] <andyn> skilz: http://superuser.com/questions/71630/numlock-is-completely-useless-and-i-want-to-disable-it-completely-on-linux
[11:03] <acibademli_74> phlak_user: ı ask ubuntu supoort if there is program which works ass root to do this operation. android as root supports officially many bad thinks. what is the problem...
[11:03] <deej1976> harsh343: Have you tried placing simple test.html files in the directory structure to see where the problem starts this could indicate the directory that needs fixing.
[11:05] <engammalsko> How do I install the classic gnome shell in 11.10?
[11:05] <engammalsko> Like the one in 10.10
[11:05] <Anomie211> phlak_user: woo, looks promising.
[11:06] <pangolin> !notunity | engammalsko
[11:06] <Captain_Crow> i installed isorecorder so i can burn ubuntu, but i dont see any icons to open isorecorder
[11:07] <engammalsko> So I shall install gnome-shell, gnome-tweak-tool and gnome-panel?
[11:07] <ne2k> how can I set a USB audio device as the default pulseaudio output device? every time I hibernate and wake up, it reverts to the onboard one
[11:08] <freakynl> Captain_Crow: you might want to have a look at brasero
[11:09] <freakynl> Captain_Crow: or k3b if ubuntu has it
[11:09] <Anomie211> phlak_user: maybe not, lol ; http://i.imgur.com/anF5X.png
[11:09] <unomi> Hiyas - I am seeing somewhat poor performance copying files between 2 11.04 computers I was getting ~600kbs
[11:10] <rumpe1> unomi, which kind of connection? from which filesystem to which filesystem?
[11:11] <unomi> after setting netbios name and ensuring that they are mounted via 'cifs' I am now seeing ~1.2 mb/s which is still alot slower than I think it should be
[11:11] <unomi> rumpe1: at these speeds the filesystem doesn't matter, the connection is wifi though
[11:12] <ne2k> unomi: adhoc or infrastructure?
[11:12] <unomi> there is an infrastructure router between them
[11:12] <ne2k> unomi: btw, kbs is not a measure of transfer rate
[11:12] <UnrealPancake> Hello. I Have a 64 bit computer with Windows 7 and Ubuntu Dual Booted. Would It be a bad Idea to add Kubuntu as well?
[11:12] <UnrealPancake> Laptop*
[11:12] <unomi> ne2k: sure.
[11:12] <ne2k> unomi: access point in between? or is it really going through a router?
[11:14] <unomi> ne2k: I couldn't tell you tbh, they are close enough that they could talk directly - but they are both being served by a wifi router that gives them their IP
[11:14] <hittt> Is there any good program for real time beat detection?
[11:14] <phlak_user> Anomie211, shows up properly in my browser
[11:14] <ne2k> unomi: what is the wifi data rate reported by each?
[11:14] <ne2k> unomi: they can't talk directly if it's infrastructure; but obviously they share a channel so only one can talk at once
[11:15] <phlak_user> unomi, youll get better performance with 802.11n on router, and both laptops (around 150 Mb/s)
[11:15] <unomi> 1. Bit Rate=54 Mb/s   Tx-Power=20 dBm  Link Quality=42/70  Signal level=-68 dBm
[11:15] <ne2k> can people please stop calling access points "routers"?
[11:15] <unomi> 2. Bit Rate=54 Mb/s   Tx-Power:24 dBm  Link Quality=5/5  Signal level=-45 dBm  Noise level=-96 dBm
[11:16] <Anomie211> phlak_user: I dont think the program works in 11.10
[11:16] <phlak_user> Anomie211, which one?
[11:16] <andyn> since most of them feature SNAT, i think calling them routers is appropriate.
[11:16] <UnrealPancake> ?
[11:17] <Anomie211> Keryx
[11:17] <unomi> ne2k: waiting for a transfer to finish up, then I'll try to look at rates for other transports
[11:17] <deej1976> UnrealPancake: Just install the kubuntu-desktop and select session when logging.
[11:17] <phlak_user> Anomie211, oh yes, its been tested on 10.04 and 10.10 as per the website
[11:17] <UnrealPancake> deej1976: But will Ubuntu, Kubuntu, or Windows 7 interfere with each other?
[11:17] <Anomie211> phlak_user: yeah but I'm on 11.10, not 10.10
[11:18] <sattu94> UnrealPancake: no.
[11:18] <Anomie211> There's a work-around to get it working on 11.04, but nothing for 11.10
[11:18] <UnrealPancake> so its completely safe to dual boot all three OS's? sattu94
[11:18] <ne2k> unomi: with 54Mb/s, you can expect to get about 15Mb/s of real throughput. this is obviously shared between them, though, as they are on the same channel, so 7.5Mb/s would be a maximum for end-to-end
[11:18] <phlak_user> ne2k, if you buy a router and use it as an AP it still is a router; also most home users buy wifi routers not APs (which enterprises do)
[11:19] <sattu94> UnrealPancake: yes, actually i would suggest using ubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-desktop on the same base ubuntu, and another win7.
[11:19] <engammalsko> !notunity
[11:19] <engammalsko> !notunity
[11:19] <ne2k> unomi: a general rule of thumb is that with TCP transfer, on a 10Mb/s link you get about 1MB/s of throughput. so on your 7.5Mb/s link, I would expect about 750kB/s of actual data transfer
[11:19] <deej1976> UnrealPancake: You would only need to dual boot two, as kubuntu-desktop would be installed on the same ubuntu install. just select the KDE version you want when logging in.
[11:20] <phlak_user> unomi, best way to check is by running iperf between the two laptops
[11:20] <phlak_user> !info iperf | unomi
[11:21] <UnrealPancake> sattu94: deej1976: so I should just install Kubuntu how?
[11:21] <phlak_user> UnrealPancake, can you not just install the kde-desktop on your existing ubuntu installation?
[11:21] <deej1976> Yes, in a terminal type: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[11:21] <pax> I installed kernel 3.2.* and now I can't remove it, its not listed in dpkg but comes up in grub and I can load ubuntu just fine except that lots of my hardware doesn't work.
[11:21] <ne2k> phlak_user: no, incorrect. a "wifi router" as you put it is a Wi-Fi access point and a router in the same box. two stations connected to the access point and transferring data between themselves are not "going through the router", they are going through the access point
[11:21] <pax> is it fine to just remove the kernal image from /boot/ and update grub ?
[11:22] <phlak_user> ne2k, and it might not happen if you enable client isolation :)
[11:22] <UnrealPancake> phlak_user: to be completely honest, Im not all that familliar with Linux.
[11:22] <ne2k> phlak_user: enable client isolation, or disable "forwarding", or whatever a given manufacturer calls it, yes
[11:22] <phlak_user> UnrealPancake, oh ok, just do what deej1976 told you
[11:22] <UnrealPancake> My friend uses my ubuntu dual boot and I use my Win7. he suggested I try Kubuntu
[11:23] <UnrealPancake> phlak_user: deej1976: Could you try and walk me through it?
[11:23] <sattu94> UnrealPancake: Ubuntu is a Base, ubuntu,kubuntu,xubuntu all run on base ubuntu with different GUI, so u can have all 3 on the same base ubuntu installation, you can select between them while logging in.
[11:23] <phlak_user> UnrealPancake, kubuntu has a different window manager called KDE as against GNOME used by standard Ubuntu; and they can both live in the same distribution
[11:24] <ne2k> andyn: my issue was never with calling the router bit a router -- of course it's a router. my issue is with not distinguishing between the router and the AP
[11:24]  * Captain_Crow thinks there are too many different ubuntu types
[11:24]  * sattu94 laughs...
[11:24] <ne2k> the thing that most people in the UK have in their house is an ADSL modem/router/access point
[11:24] <UnrealPancake> sattu94: is that why when I start my computer I get the purpleish screen with different choices to boot to?
[11:25] <sattu94> UnrealPancake: no. that allows you to select between Operating systems.
[11:25] <ne2k> sometimes with a switch thrown in for good measure too
[11:25] <sattu94> UnrealPancake: that is, win7 or ubuntu,
[11:25] <deej1976> Captain_Crow: I want to see an O'buntu ( best on openbox :D ), e17buntu ( best on guess what e17 :D ) choice is good
[11:25] <sattu94> UnrealPancake: and it's called Grub.
[11:25] <UnrealPancake> oh alright
[11:25] <pax> exit
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> deej1976: you can make it using remastersys
[11:25] <phlak_user> UnrealPancake, in other words, a Boot Loader
[11:26] <deej1976> UnrealPancake: From the start open an terminal in ubuntu
[11:26] <unomi> phlak_user:  0.0-10.2 sec  10.1 MBytes  8.35 Mbits/sec - so it looks like cifs is hitting that pretty well
[11:26] <Captain_Crow> I still think its confusing...
[11:26] <UnrealPancake> Im boted as Win7 ATM
[11:26] <deej1976> ActionParsnip: I know
[11:26] <phlak_user> unomi, so thats good, you have established that the wifi medium is not the bottleneck
[11:27] <UnrealPancake> booted*
[11:27] <sattu94> UnrealPancake: after you select ubuntu from grub menu, you will get a login screen from which you can select between ubuntu(unity),ubuntu-classic(gnome3) etc.. if u install Kubuntu-desktop, here you can also get option for selecting kubuntu desktop..
[11:27] <UnrealPancake> really? I never knew that.
[11:27] <unomi> phlak_user: hmm? isn't iperf showing the same throughput as Samba? ~ 1 mb/s
[11:27] <UnrealPancake> so r u saying that I already have Kubuntu installed?
[11:28] <sattu94> UnrealPancake: Effectively you dont need to restart ubuntu as a whole to switch between unity,gnome,kde,xfce,lxde...et al..
[11:28] <ne2k> unomi: 8.35Mb/s is comparable to the 7.5Mb/s I suggested you would get
[11:28] <sattu94> UnrealPancake: If you have it installed.
[11:28] <phlak_user> unomi, nope; iperf just shows you raw throughput without application overhead
[11:28] <Captain_Crow> can ubuntu run dx11 games?
[11:28] <ne2k> unomi: you really have to use m, M, b and B correctly when talking about this stuff
[11:28] <unomi> ne2k: sure, are you?
[11:29] <UnrealPancake> sattu94: I only (as far as I know) have Ubuntu installed. do I need to download Kubuntu, install it and then I can choose between the 2 distributions anytime I want?
[11:29] <ne2k> unomi: errm, yes
[11:29] <phlak_user> ne2k, he is reporting exactly what iperf gave
[11:29]  * Captain_Crow wants to play battlefield3 on ubuntu
[11:29] <ne2k> phlak_user: I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about his "600 kbs" and his "1 mb/s"
[11:29] <Yanch0>  on first boot (in live cd it was ok) just after posting, i get a lot of green bars and funny stuff on the monitor for a couple of seconds (Say 30) then the screen goes black- hard disk seems to be still active for another minute or so. any ideas what to look at pls ? this is my dmsg : http://pastebin.com/iVpX7wxt
[11:30]  * UnrealPancake likes Battlefield 3 on Xbox 360
[11:30] <phlak_user> ne2k, oh yes, 1mb/s is the same as 1Mb/s (theres no mega and Mega)
[11:30] <ne2k> phlak_user: m is milli
[11:30] <sattu94> UnrealPancake: No all you need to do is download the Kubuntu desktop graphical environment, not the base OS, which you already have installed. To just get kubuntu desktop environment, do "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop", that will download and install kubuntu for you.
[11:30] <NeoTriX> hello
[11:30] <phlak_user> ne2k, not in bitrate world
[11:30] <unomi> ne2k: anyway - iperf is telling me ~8 MBits which I interpret as ~1 MByte/s no?
[11:30] <NeoTriX> need help
[11:30] <phlak_user> unomi, yes
[11:30] <vagothcpp> What is the latest stable release of the ubuntu kernel
[11:31] <UnrealPancake> sattu94: by any chance do you have a link for me?
[11:31] <phlak_user> !ask | Neo_Kipling
[11:31] <phlak_user> oops
[11:31] <phlak_user> !ask | NeoTriX
[11:31] <sattu94> UnrealPancake: Trust me, the command will be easier.
[11:31] <ne2k> unomi: yes -- but you didn't say that, you said 1 mb/s. sorry for being pedantic but it's actually really important in a discussion like this
[11:31] <unomi> ne2k: only if context escapes you
[11:32] <ne2k> unomi: errm, well, how should I know what the program you're using to transfer files reports?
[11:32] <unomi> that said - I should work on being more precise
[11:32] <UnrealPancake> sattu94: by any chance do you have a link for me?
[11:32] <sattu94> UnrealPancake: why do u want a link?
[11:32] <UnrealPancake> oops sorry bout that
[11:32] <phlak_user> unomi, just to compare; you could try an scp copy between the laptops

[11:32] <sattu94> UnrealPancake: just run the command.
[11:33] <phlak_user> NeoTriX, did you do sudo make install ?
[11:33] <ne2k> unomi: anyway, 8Mb/s of iperf throughput means you will generally get something like 0.8MB/s of real data throughput once you've got TCP and other protocol overheads
[11:33] <UnrealPancake> sattu94: you lost me at "do sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop"
[11:33] <UnrealPancake> where do I do that?
[11:34]  * sattu94 Loves Package Manangement..
[11:34] <ne2k> unomi: so your 0.6MB/s that you initially reported is a little low, but not massively
[11:34] <sattu94> UnrealPancake: Open a !terminal.
[11:34] <sattu94> !terminal > UnrealPancake

[11:36] <phlak_user> NeoTriX, thats pretty clear; that user is not allowed to act as admin; add him to the admin group
[11:36] <UnrealPancake> sattu94: I can try connecting through my phone.
[11:36] <NeoTriX> have you commande to add it
[11:37] <UnrealPancake> I have AndroIRC
[11:37] <sattu94> UnrealPancake: just open Firefox in ubuntu, then go to webchat.freenode.net
[11:37] <sattu94> UnrealPancake: from there connect to #ubuntu.
[11:37] <UnrealPancake> i am on my phone
[11:37] <phlak_user> NeoTriX, usermod -G admin username-to-be-modified
[11:37] <UnrealPancake> its connecting my hostname
[11:38] <NeoTriX> ok
[11:38] <sattu94> UnrealPancake: Fine, if that suits you.
[11:38] <UnrealPancake> im entering the cat as PancakeMan
[11:38] <sattu94> UnrealPancake: boot to ubuntu. -_-
[11:38] <phlak_user> NeoTriX, but you need to login as the admin user first otherwise this will not work too
[11:38] <UnrealPancake> sattu94: k
[11:38] <phlak_user> NeoTriX, are you on Ubuntu?
[11:38] <NeoTriX> yes
[11:39] <phlak_user> NeoTriX, server or desktop?
[11:39] <NeoTriX> now im in admin
[11:39] <NeoTriX> root
[11:39] <phlak_user> NeoTriX, ok run that usermod command
[11:39] <unomi> phlak_user: yup.. scp is showing the same basic pattern - starts off at ~ 2.5MB/s ends up at 995KB/s
[11:39] <NeoTriX> ok
[11:39] <UnrealPancake> Hi
[11:40] <UnrealPancake> On my phone
[11:40] <NeoTriX> okey  now its work with sudo su
[11:40] <NeoTriX> thanks
[11:40] <phlak_user> unomi, how many users off that router/ap?
[11:40] <phlak_user> NeoTriX, yw
[11:41] <ActionParsnip> NeoTriX: I suggest you use: sudo -i
[11:41] <Captain_Crow> does the fancy 3d desktop effects and physics come standard on ubuntu or do i have to download something specific to make that stuff work?
[11:41] <ActionParsnip> phlak_user: not: sudo -a -G admin username    ?
[11:41] <UnrealPancake> phlak_user what do i do now?
[11:42] <ActionParsnip> Captain_Crow: compiz and unity are in a default install
[11:42] <gappie> hi. how do you enable auto login in ubuntu server?
[11:42] <unomi> phlak_user: just these 2 boxes, but I should say that they are both engaging in internet traffic through it ~ 200 KiB/s in total
[11:42] <sattu94> UnrealPancake: good, you in Ubuntu?
[11:42] <UnrealPancake> Yes
[11:42] <sattu94> UnrealPancake: Do you have a terminal open?
[11:42] <UnrealPancake> No
[11:42] <UnrealPancake> How do i do that
[11:42] <ActionParsnip> gappie: not very secure, why do you need to autologin?
[11:43] <gappie> specific project
[11:43] <ActionParsnip> gappie: usually the server sits on the login prompt and the background services run
[11:43] <gappie> ActionParsnip : how do i do it
[11:43] <ActionParsnip> gappie: http://www.lalitkapoor.com/blog/2008/06/30/ubuntu-server-desktop-autologin/    may say
[11:43] <sattu94> UnrealPancake: You know how to open Ubuntu Software Centre?
[11:44] <UnrealPancake> No.
[11:44] <deej1976> UnrealPancake: Click the clog in the top left corner
[11:44] <sattu94> UnrealPancake: You have the Bar on the left side?
[11:44] <deej1976> UnrealPancake: In the search box type terminal and hit return
[11:44] <UnrealPancake> Yes
[11:45] <sattu94> deej1976: i was preferring to go through the software centre. ?
[11:45] <UnrealPancake> K
[11:45] <UnrealPancake> Done
[11:45] <deej1976> sattu94: Sorry, old time cli user
[11:45] <sattu94> UnrealPancake: In terminal type "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop"..
[11:46] <sattu94> deej1976: me too ^-^..
[11:46] <phlak_user> unomi, you can also use something like wondershaper to prioritize traffic from your laptop and test
[11:46] <deej1976> sattu94: Get things done so much faster :D
[11:46] <sattu94> deej1976: yes!
[11:48] <phlak_user> !info wondershaper | unomi
[11:49] <UnrealPancake> sattu94 ok thank you
[11:50] <unomi> phlak_user: thanks, it looks interesting, my upload speed is already reined in for the other traffic, but I'll give it a go
[11:50] <sattu94> UnrealPancake: Once the installation finishes, log off, select Kubuntu from the session menu at the bottom, then log in.
[11:50] <UnrealPancake> Ok ty
[11:50] <sattu94> UnrealPancake: no need to restart anything..etc..
[11:50] <gappie> how do you change the network settings in ubuntu server?
[11:50] <sattu94> gappie: /etc/network/interfaces
[11:50] <UnrealPancake> Alright
[11:51] <MonkeyDust> gappie  /etc/resolvconf/
[11:51] <gappie> which one?
[11:51] <MonkeyDust> gappie  /etc/resolv.conf
[11:51] <MonkeyDust> gappie  why do want a server if you don't know the basics of networking?
[11:52] <MonkeyDust> you*
[11:52] <ActionParsnip> gappie: you can use wicd-curses if you want a GUI
[11:52] <meadhikari> How would I create a symbolic link for a python script, please help
[11:52] <ActionParsnip> MonkeyDust: there is a difference between understanding network config and how to set network addresses and such in a new OS
[11:53] <ActionParsnip> meadhikari: same as any other file
[11:53] <ActionParsnip> meadhikari: ln -s source dest
[11:53] <meadhikari> I just mean how
[11:53] <meadhikari> i made ln -s a.py /home/b
[11:53] <meadhikari> now i can not run python b
[11:53] <meadhikari> or am i missing something
[11:55] <ActionParsnip> meadhikari: try: ln -s ./a.py /home/b/a.py
[11:55] <sattu94> MonkeyDust: yes, one may understand how everything works, but may not know how to do that in a new OS, it's akin to asking _where_ to change the network preferences using a GUI...
[11:55] <ActionParsnip> meadhikari: I assume a.py is in PWD
[11:55] <MonkeyDust> fair enough
[11:57] <gappie> on a standard ubuntu server install, would the network be automatically configured to use dhcp?
[11:57] <gappie> or do i  need to setup networking
[11:58] <phlak_user> gappie, when you did the install it wouldve asked you exactly this
[11:58] <ActionParsnip> gappie: by default, yes
[11:58] <ActionParsnip> gappie: you can manually specify addesses and DNS servers if you desire but the default is DHCP for all interfaces (except lo)
[11:59] <gappie> acmeinc so where do I see the dhcp settings
[11:59] <Captain_Crow> is there a version of ubuntu with wine integrated where windows apps just work, or does wine have to be manually installed and fiddled with on each version?
[12:01] <photon> hi. now, for the second time today, my computer just hangs for about half an hour doing heavy hard disk work. I don't know why, and System Monitor doesn't show the culprit. However, I got a glimpse of an error message in my console saying something like "/etc/update-motd/98-fsck-at-reboot failed" ... Is it possible that Ubuntu is fsck'ing my hard drives w/o my consent causing my computer to freeze for so long? is there any other explanation? what can
[12:01] <photon> I do if it happens again?
[12:01] <photon> Btw, I did NOT reboot at that time.
[12:01] <photon> syslog doesn't show anything related, either.
[12:02] <gappie> ActionParsnip so where do I see the dhcp settings
[12:02] <phlak_user> photon, do you have any indexing tool installed like google desktop or beagle?
[12:03] <photon> phlak_user: no.
[12:03] <ActionParsnip> gappie: you can see the interface addresses by running:  ifconfig; cat /etc/resolv.conf
[12:03] <photon> the weird thing is, I often do work that involves a lot of writes/reads to/from my hard drive, but never does it freeze up like that.
[12:04] <phlak_user> photon, any NFS read-writes?
[12:04] <photon> phlak_user: no.
[12:05] <gappie> I had to run "sudo dhclient" on startup before I could get my networking going on ubuntu server. Why is this?
[12:06] <gappie> I need it working without sending commands
[12:06] <phlak_user> gappie, edit /etc/network/interfaces and set it up
[12:07] <ActionParsnip> gappie: in /etc/rc.local    above the exit 0  line, add the command you run and it will run as root at startup
[12:07] <gappie> ActionParsnip is it normal to do that?
[12:07] <phlak_user> gappie, like this line ->  iface eth0 inet dhcp
[12:08] <phlak_user> gappie, "man interfaces"  should give you the various examples
[12:08] <gappie> phlak_user : i have the iface eth0 inet dhcp line in /etc/network/interfaces
[12:09] <gappie> but still it does not work on startup
[12:09] <TotalNonsense> Hey, so how does this Pangolin of #ubuntu-offtopic accuse me of being someone who was in that channel last week?
[12:09] <pangolin> wrong channel
[12:09] <TotalNonsense> #freenode asked me to ask here
[12:09] <pangolin> why not just ask me in the offtopic channel
[12:10] <TotalNonsense> I already tried; no one gave anything constructive.
[12:10] <TotalNonsense> No evidence, no log, nothing but hearsay
[12:10] <pangolin> ok, well this is still not the right place
[12:11] <ActionParsnip> gappie: it can be with some hardware configs, I've seen it needed.
[12:11] <Anomie211> Got the 11.10 dvd downloaded now, can I check if build-essentials can be installed from it by extracting it or do I need to mount/burn it?
[12:11] <ActionParsnip> !logs | TotalNonsense
[12:11] <phlak_user> gappie, do you also have an auto eth0 before that?
[12:12] <TotalNonsense> "loco?"
[12:12] <gappie> phlak_user : yes
[12:12] <ActionParsnip> TotalNonsense: the link has the logs of the chanels, so you can see what is what
[12:12] <breakdown> Hi,i may play GTA San Andreas MultiPlayer on Ubuntu?
[12:12] <phlak_user> gappie, does doing ifdown eth0 and then ifup eth0 bring up the interface and assign a dhcp address automatically?
[12:12] <gappie> phlak_user : when i run ifconfig I see eth1 and not eth0
[12:13] <gappie> whynot use eth0?
[12:13] <TotalNonsense> ActionParsnip: Sorry, nothing about -offtopic
[12:13] <phlak_user> gappie, ah, so you need to change that eth0 to eth1
[12:13] <TotalNonsense> Is there a search-all feature?
[12:13] <gappie> ok
[12:13] <phlak_user> gappie, dunno if you have two interfaces, maybe you connected to the one called eth1
[12:13] <pangolin> there are no logs for -offtopic.
[12:13] <hotkeys> i have been installing a distro upgrade over SSH and it keeps giving me set: unable to open display i keep hitting enter and it resumes. am I doing something wrong?
[12:14] <ActionParsnip> TotalNonsense: is offtopic not logged
[12:14] <gappie> phlak_user : i installed the system on a drive connected to aother system than the one now
[12:14] <phlak_user> hotkeys, have you forwarded X? or only a text-only upgrade
[12:14] <phlak_user> gappie, so that mustve screwed up the interface numbering
[12:15] <ActionParsnip> gappie: the change I suggested is a little easier than playing with the interfaces file, although it is a good thing to learn
[12:16] <hotkeys> phlak_user I have not forwarded X i would be interested in knowing how
[12:16] <dr_willis> hotkeys:  ssh -x  server       or was it -X
[12:17] <WinstonSmith> -X
[12:17] <dr_willis> hotkeys:  i set my ssh to do it by default
[12:17] <hotkeys> Thank you
[12:17] <dr_willis> upper case X
[12:17] <ActionParsnip> also add -C too, enables compression
[12:18] <dr_willis> hotkeys:  if you are on an os with an x server  :-)
[12:19] <hotkeys> dr_willis I am on ubuntu desktop. I use SSH to manage my ubuntu server edition. I dont think I understand your question/comment.
[12:19] <dr_willis> also when updateing over ssh. you may want to be using screen
[12:19] <hotkeys> yes I do run my do-release with screen -S name
[12:19] <dr_willis> hotkeys:  so use   ssh -X server
[12:20] <dr_willis> or -XC :-)
[12:20] <hotkeys> dr_willis I will research, thank you
[12:21] <ucenik02> ima nekoj >>>>
[12:21] <ucenik02> mk nekoj ?
[12:22] <ActionParsnip> dr_willis: angry ssh :)
[12:22] <hotkeys> ActionParsnip I may try that one first
[12:25] <gappie> my /etc/apt/sources.list is emty. is this normal for a fresh install?
[12:25] <gappie> *empty
[12:26] <pangolin> no
[12:26] <rumpe1> gappie, choose a server in package management and check again
[12:26] <pangolin> gappie: how are you checking?
[12:26] <gappie> how do this in console mode?
[12:26] <gappie> sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:27] <pangolin> gappie: you sure you typed in the correct path?
[12:27] <gappie> no
[12:27] <gappie> missed the s
[12:27] <pangolin> :)
[12:27] <gappie> heh
[12:29] <ActionParsnip> gappie: use TAB to complete files and folder names, fewer mistakes
[12:32] <Gere> Can you tell me flv to mp3 converter pls without  winff in ubutnu?
[12:32] <ActionParsnip> Gere: did you download the flv from youtube?
[12:33] <Timewarper> HEY
[12:33] <Timewarper>  whats the best data recovery software (undelete) for linux?
[12:33] <Gere> yas I have download it
[12:33] <ActionParsnip> Gere: http://www.youtube-mp3.org/   use that instead, easier
[12:33] <ActionParsnip> Gere: no need to download the video first
[12:33] <ActionParsnip> Timewarper: there is no single best app for any problem in any OS
[12:34] <ActionParsnip> !datarecovery | Timewarper
[12:34] <pangolin> !undelete
[12:34] <ActionParsnip> Timewarper: the most reliable will be to use your backups
[12:34] <sharpK> anyone know where to find the specific driver files for a printer installed in windows (I need to put the files on the ubuntu home server so that people can use the printer and install it from the server)
[12:34] <sharpK> ?
[12:35] <luca_bi> How can I start mysql on ubuntu 11.10??
[12:35] <ActionParsnip> sharpK: I'd ask in ##windows
[12:35] <ActionParsnip> luca_bi: sudo service mysql start
[12:35] <LilleCarl> luca_bi apt-get install mysql-server
[12:35] <ActionParsnip> luca_bi: use tab to complete the mysql word
[12:35] <ActionParsnip> LilleCarl: start, not install ;)
[12:36] <LilleCarl> a /etc/init.d/mysql start i think
[12:36] <MonkeyDust>  must be confusing for luca_bi ;)
[12:37] <luca_bi> luca@luca-Satellite-A200:~$ sudo service mysql start
[12:37] <luca_bi> start: Job is already running: mysql
[12:37] <luca_bi> Is it open?
[12:37] <gappie> after adding "deb http://ubuntu.mirror.cambrium.nl/ubuntu/ lucid main universe" to sources.list I still cannot run "sudo apt-get bluez-hcidump"
[12:38] <Gere> tnx again
[12:38] <ActionParsnip> luca_bi: then it's running and good to go
[12:38] <gappie> "invalid operation bluez-hcidump"
[12:38] <MonkeyDust> gappie  you forgot 'install'
[12:38] <gappie> thanks!
[12:39] <luca_bi> ActionParsnip: I've create a document but when i run it on localhost  I have: Unable to connect!
[12:39] <ActionParsnip> gappie: and run:  sudo apt-get update    first
[12:39] <ActionParsnip> luca_bi: I know very little of SQL
[12:39] <gappie> ok thanks

[13:00] <jwtiyar> i have .zip files of an program how i can install it?

[13:03] <dr_willis> gappie:  yes.. what filesystem is the flash using?
[13:03] <gappie> fat32
[13:03] <dr_willis>  -t auto should work
[13:03] <dr_willis> !windows
[13:03] <dr_willis> !vfat
[13:04] <gappie> huh
[13:04] <gappie> sudo mount /dev/sdb /mnt should change to what?
[13:04] <dr_willis> You may want to read that mount factoid  a bit.
[13:04] <dr_willis> gappie:  add -t vfat   or -t auto
[13:04] <dr_willis> gappie:  and most likely its sdb1 not sdb
[13:05] <dr_willis> mount -t auto /dev/sdb1  /mnt

[13:06] <user1> !oneric
[13:07] <user1> does hiberante work with oneric for netbooks? is it fixed
[13:07] <dr_willis> it may depend on the specific netbook user1
[13:07] <zagibu> hibernation is very hardware-dependant, so no general answer is possible
[13:08] <user1> dr_wiilis: oh so there is still problem.  i have asus 1215B
[13:08] <dr_willis> user1:  i never said there was or was not.. it depends on your specific netbook
[13:08] <user1> zagibu: come on . dont blame hardware and when windows is/are/whatever doing it fine
[13:09] <zagibu> i don't blame anyone
[13:09] <gappie> how do you go one folderdeeper in console?
[13:09] <gappie> cd wants fll patch
[13:09] <john_rambo> I am getting segmentation fault while trying to add the deluge ppa ..How to solve this ?
[13:09] <dr_willis> user1:  the hw makers are the ones not releaseing specs. or not following the specs that do exist.
[13:09] <gappie> cd, dir?
[13:09] <ball> dir
[13:10] <dr_willis> windows is doing it 'fine' because they specifically make drivers/test them to work with windows.
[13:10] <user1> dr_wiilis: i cant understand when version prior to 11.04 can hibernate why cant these?
[13:10] <zagibu> user1: are you still in the "linux is a free windows" phase?
[13:10] <dr_willis> user1:  new kernel version most likely
[13:10]  * dr_willis wonders why his laptop crashes in windows when it hibernates.. but not in linux...
[13:11] <user1> zagibu: i am in "linux is windows is not needed " phase
[13:11] <zagibu> whatever that means
[13:11] <truefx> i cant play movies in fullscreen +gnome mplayer plz help
[13:11] <user1> yeah nowadays ubuntu has lot of "whatever" guys. they have become kind of lethargic
[13:11] <dr_willis> id have to suggest checking the forums and askubuntu.com for your specific laptop.
[13:12]  * deej1976 Wonders why windows won't boot, then remember he wiped 5 minutes after open the box :D
[13:12] <zagibu> user1: yeah, you seem to be one of them...why not write some code and fix your hibernation problem yourself instead of waiting for "them" to fix it?
[13:13] <user1> zagibu : :-) yes i am the most lethargic. just kindling there
[13:13] <truefx> dr_willis, i cant play movies in fullscreen +gnome mplayer +in linux. But not in windows
[13:13] <user1> zagibu: lots of porn you know. no time.
[13:14] <zagibu> don't worry, it will get better with age
[13:15] <zagibu> well, it won't, your time will be eaten away by other things
[13:16] <dr_willis> truefx:  and your video card is? and what drivers are you using..
[13:16] <dr_willis> truefx:  and your ubuntu version is?
[13:17] <user1> zagibu: its also because females getting into that we getting into coding. its becoming complementing each other with most coders into that
[13:17] <dr_willis> and excatly what does happwn when you try to play a movie......
[13:17] <truefx> dr_willis, VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV100 QY [Radeon 7000/VE]

[13:17] <zagibu> user1: not sure I want to understand what you're talking about, but it sounds kinky
[13:17] <deej1976> !pastebin | truefx
[13:18] <dr_willis> so you have an ATI RV100 and using the Radeon drivers.. its possible the fglrx drivers may work better for you. Or may not. I dont use ati.
[13:18] <user1> zagibu: i can see your browser cache. hmmm quite kinky you as well ;)
[13:18] <dr_willis> truefx:  you ran the 'addational-drivers' tool and looked to see if it could install the fglrx drivers? (run jockey-gtk from terminal if you cant find it in the menus)
[13:18] <truefx> dr_willis, ubuntu 10.04 i can decrease size properly but i cant increase or play in fullscreen, Size remains original
[13:19] <zagibu> user1: so jenkins build logs turn you on? to each his own, I guess
[13:19] <dr_willis> truefx:  you mean it has a large black border around the video?
[13:19] <truefx> yep
[13:20] <dr_willis> try some of the differnt 'video output' optins in your video player. or try the fglrx drivers.
[13:20] <user1> zagibu: so you mean you are clean as crystal
[13:20] <zagibu> user1: i'm on a business computer, and I actually don't want to lose my job, it pays quite well
[13:21] <zagibu> user1: btw, this is quite offtopic...I suggest personal messages if you want to continue
[13:22] <truefx> dr_willis, no prop,, drivers. and i cant push enable button as root
[13:23] <dr_willis> truefx:  i dont use ati. its piossible that card does not use fglrx any more. so you shoudl try a differnt player like vlc, and/or the differnt video out options for the  players
[13:23] <user1> zagibu: nothing personal unless you want to continue. just want to know if i can just upgrade only my kernel. it takes 1.04 GB to dist upgrade11 is that really required?
[13:24] <truefx> i can play it in vls but it s slow and vlc consumes too much cpu, i have an old system
[13:24] <luca_bi> Unable to connect:Access denied for user 'www-data'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
[13:24] <luca_bi> which is the problem?
[13:24] <truefx> dr_willis, i can play it in vls but it s slow and vlc consumes too much cpu, i have an old system
[13:25] <dr_willis> truefx:  so that leaves you with 'trying the differnt video out options in the player'
[13:25] <iceroot> luca_bi: there is no mysql-user called "www-data"
[13:25] <truefx> dr_willis, like what ?
[13:25] <dr_willis> truefx:  also in the monitors/displays tools there Might be a 'use hardware scaleing' option
[13:26] <dr_willis> vlc has perhaps a dozen differnt 'video out' drivers. i havent used mplayer in ages.. but it has several also. check your settings for your player
[13:27] <singkong> can ubuntu use dial up connection bloototh ?
[13:28] <luca_bi> iceroot: Why www-data?
[13:29] <john_rambo> opening deluge gives segmentation fault
[13:29] <zagibu> user1: if you don't have the desired kernel in your packages, you either have to adjust the package sources, or get and install it manually
[13:30] <user1> i dont understand why i need 1 GB for just a image.
[13:32] <asif_> hi..I have installed ubuntu 11.10 there is no panel in the bottom so what i minimize just disappears  how to add a panel
[13:32] <dr_willis> should be a panel at the left asif_
[13:32] <MonkeyDust> nounity| asif_
[13:32] <dr_willis> mouse over to the side and see...
[13:32] <skilz> asif_, sudo apt-get install cairo-dock
[13:32] <MonkeyDust> !nounity| asif_
[13:33] <asif_> there is no pannel by default , what i minimize goes to launcher...??
[13:34] <dr_willis> what you minimize goes to the left side panel and the icon changes to get an arrow by it.
[13:34] <dr_willis> http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/04/our-complete-guide-to-unity-in-ubuntu-11-04/
[13:34] <dr_willis> I reall need to find some good unity 'guides' :)
[13:34] <LilleCarl> I think unity is stupid, Gnome ATW
[13:35] <asif_> ok got it . I am loving this learning curve
[13:35] <dr_willis> whats to learn. :)
[13:35] <dr_willis> click to launch.. click to bring back..
[13:36] <asif_> one more question how can i reduce icon size of the launcher
[13:36] <MonkeyDust> yes, but you cannot click in the launchbar to minimize
[13:36] <MonkeyDust> asif_  it's in ccsm
[13:37] <asif_> mongy, CCSM..?
[13:37] <MonkeyDust> compiz configuration
[13:37] <iceroot> luca_bi: because you defined that user
[13:37] <dr_willis> no real need to i guess.. never noticed.
[13:37] <iceroot> luca_bi: and if you dont put a user for the mysql-command the user which is calling the mysql client will be used
[13:37] <dr_willis> start up about 4 terminal windows and click on the terminal icon in the panel..
[13:37] <Reikoku> How do I change my MSN display name in empathy?
[13:38] <asif_> thank you guyz , I am feeling excitement as i felt when i used computer 1st time
[13:38] <luca_bi> iceroot: http://ideone.com/NhhBE
[13:39] <iceroot> luca_bi: what?
[13:39] <luca_bi> iceroot: I defined root as username
[13:39] <iceroot> luca_bi: you looked at that code?
[13:39] <luca_bi> Yes it's my code
[13:39] <iceroot> luca_bi: you defined $user but using $root
[13:40] <iceroot> luca_bi: and $root is empty so the user which is calling it will be used
[13:40] <franksouza1831> franksouza1831: hello
[13:40] <luca_bi> iceroot: Yes I use root as username
[13:40] <iceroot> luca_bi: you are using php complety wrong
[13:40] <dr_willis> root as a users name? Hmmm...
[13:40] <iceroot> dr_willis: for mysql
[13:40] <iceroot> dr_willis: which is the default
[13:40] <iceroot> luca_bi: $connection = mysql_connect($server, $root, $filiberto) or die ("Unable to connect:".mysql_error());
[13:40] <luca_bi> iceroot: Which username should I use?
[13:40] <Reikoku> I'm clearly not the only person here using Empathy (the built in messenger) -- how do I change my MSN display name which other contacts see?
[13:40] <iceroot> luca_bi: why $server and $root?
[13:41]  * dr_willis recalls an old installer bug in ubuntu where you could add a user named 'root' as your initial user....
[13:41] <iceroot> luca_bi: that variables are not defined
[13:41] <luca_bi> iceroot: should I use $localhost instead of $server?
[13:42] <iceroot> luca_bi: $host = "localhost";
[13:42] <iceroot> luca_bi: of course you have to use "$host"
[13:42] <iceroot> luca_bi: also please join #php
[13:42] <oCean> luca_bi: this is really not a php or html support channel. Try ##php
[13:43] <gappie> how can i check if ssh is installed?
[13:43] <iceroot> gappie: dpkg -l openssh-server
[13:43] <luca_bi> it doesn't work
[13:43] <MonkeyDust> gappie  apt-cache policy ssh
[13:43] <iceroot> luca_bi: /join ##php
[13:43] <iceroot> gappie: ii means installed
[13:44] <verdoc> did apt-get drop the --nodeps option?
[13:44] <iceroot> verdoc: man apt-get
[13:44] <verdoc> iceroot, right, it's not in there and I don't see a replacement
[13:45] <john21> hello
[13:45] <agen-m> hi
[13:45] <john21> has anybody tried unity-2d from daily builds?
[13:45] <iceroot> john21: #ubuntu+1
[13:46] <agen-m> what is unity-2d?
[13:46] <verdoc> iceroot, so what's the equivalent?
[13:46] <Dante_> john21 , yes i have tried unity-2d
[13:47] <iceroot> verdoc: looking at it at the moment but cant find an alternate that fast
[13:47] <agen-m> привет!
[13:47] <vagothcpp> is GRUB still the bootloader for Ubuntu/Xubuntu?
[13:47] <dr_willis> vagothcpp:  grub2 is the standard these days. yes.
[13:47] <vagothcpp> dr_willis, thank you
[13:48] <iceroot> verdoc: sorry
[13:48] <verdoc> iceroot, it's just gone?

[13:50] <Nertskull> Is there a way to install imagemagick with the latest version with the package manager?  Or if I want the latest version will I have to install from source?
[13:50] <Razec> hi ALL
[13:50] <Baccari> hi
[13:50] <sipior> verdoc: might you be thinking of rpm instead?
[13:51] <gappie> how do you logout from a ssh session?
[13:51] <vagothcpp> On the ubuntu help page the kernel compile guide is a little bit old, so would the latest published kernel guide on the site still be relevant?
[13:51] <dr_willis> Nertskull:  there might be a PPA for it.
[13:51] <dr_willis> !ppa
[13:51] <dr_willis> gappie:  'exit' command or 'logout'
[13:51] <gappie> dr_willis thnks
[13:52] <dr_willis> gappie:  you can also hit ctrl-d a few times i recall. :)
[13:53] <verdoc> sipior, I found a post referencing, I guess the end result is just wanna ignore deps

[14:02] <anAngel> Hello. My ubuntu 11.10 router is resetting randomly. How can i troubleshoot it or locate the problem?
[14:02] <Gentoo64> anAngel, what do you mean ubuntu router?
[14:03] <fhussain> With upstart, what's the best way to switch to a console login instead of X? Earlier it used to be /etc/inittab.
[14:03] <Gentoo64> are you using a comp as a router?
[14:03] <dusf> !bluetooth
[14:03] <dusf> that bluetooth guide is out of date and the commands do not work
[14:03] <xiwenbin2010> what?
[14:03] <dusf> dusf@banshee:/usr/share/doc/bluez/examples$ sudo ./simple-agent hci0 00:11:67:00:00:00
[14:03] <dusf> sudo: ./simple-agent: command not found
[14:03] <anAngel> Gentoo64: ubuntu 11.10 server installation configured as NAT router
[14:04] <Gentoo64> anAngel, resetting as in rebooting?
[14:04] <Gentoo64> or settings
[14:04] <mfilipe> what is the channel to support ubuntu-one?
[14:04] <xiwenbin2010> tall somtthing

[14:05] <harsh343> copy from one folder to another in remote server
[14:05] <Gentoo64> anAngel, maybe its the psu?
[14:05] <harsh343> all folder
[14:05] <harsh343> ?
[14:05] <Phoenix87> i have an ati radeon x1600 pro card and foobillard doesn't look too good. I'm not using proprietary driver and I was wondering if maybe I should
[14:05] <dusf> does ubuntu not support bluetooth?
[14:06] <RonaldJ> Witch package do I need for client gssapiauthentication support?
[14:06] <dusf> jesus, bluetooth is something so basic and should be plug and play
[14:07] <dusf> it's easier to just log onto windows for a few minutes
[14:07] <RonaldJ> When I connect to ssh it waits a while before the password prompt. I found that this is a GSS problem.
[14:08] <harsh343> how to copy folder dashboard_check in the same place but different name dashboard_check2 in remote server
[14:08] <madm1ke> hi, i have a widescreen (1366x768) intel gpu notebook and can't get plymouth to work nicely. on shutdown i get the correct theme and on bootup it falls back to text mode. does anyone know how to debug this or repair this?
[14:08] <harsh343> using ubuntu terminal
[14:08] <skilz> harsh343, cp dashboard_check dashboard_check2
[14:09] <harsh343> skilz, and also the path required
[14:09] <harsh343> /var/www
[14:10] <JoshuaP>  /srv/http
 that the same problem.What is GSS?
[14:10] <harsh343> skilz, live:~# /var/www cp dashboard_check dashboard_check2
[14:10] <harsh343>  is this ok ?
[14:11] <dr_willis> hmm.. poor dusf.. bluetooth is plug and play ehre on my linux box.. under windows - i have to fight with it.
[14:11] <skilz> where is the file located? in /var/www?
[14:11] <skilz> If so cd /var/www/
[14:11] <harsh343> skilz, live:/var/www/Dashboard_check
[14:11] <dr_willis> harsh343:  you might want to install 'mc' and learn to use it.. it is a console based file manager using F keys to do all sorts of things...
[14:11] <skilz> yeah
[14:11] <dr_willis> or spend some time reasing some bash guides. :)
[14:11] <skilz> thats right then
[14:12] <harsh343> ok
[14:12] <skilz> harsh343, man bash
[14:13] <txomon> Hi, I remember there was a distribution that was made up for hacking linux, not for getting into other systems, to learn about security. I think it was sth like ubuntu... anyonw knows?
[14:13] <raven> ssmtp hangs up without message, without ctrl-c option and does not send any mails - config file written and confirmed - any ideas?
[14:13] <Phoenix87> i have an ati radeon x1600 pro card and foobillard doesn't look too good. I'm not using proprietary driver and I was wondering if maybe I should
[14:13] <txomon> Phoenix87, you should
[14:14] <Phoenix87> txomon, can't I just boost the non proprietary drivers via xorg.conf?
[14:14] <martian> Since I upgraded my server to 11.10, I have been getting messages from apt saying that nfs-common has been held back from upgrade. Why would that be?
[14:15] <txomon> Phoenix87, you can use the default drivers, but usually, X guys don't develop as good as the builder drivers for those cards
[14:15] <raven> ssmtp hangs up without message, without ctrl-c option and does not send any mails - config file written and confirmed - any ideas?
[14:16] <sipior> raven: is it not just waiting on standard input? does ctrl-D help?
[14:16] <txomon> raven, man ssmtp
[14:17] <txomon> Phoenix87, if you want to use only opensource programs, you will have to accept that they are in develop
[14:17] <Phoenix87> ok txomon i'll give ati drivers a try thanks :D
[14:18] <harsh343> skilz, http://pastebin.com/6eri9mPe
[14:20] <RonaldJ> how do I install gssapiauthentication support for ssh-client?
[14:21] <ssbpls> hei,man,could anyone recommend some books about gtk programming?
[14:21] <gappie> what is the best for running shell script at startup: using cron jobs or using /etc/rc.local ?
[14:21] <raven> sipior oh yes that is this mode but ssmtp -vvv<EMAIL_ADDRESS>should do anything right?
[14:21] <me-1> hi..how can i install google chrome in ubuntu 11.10
[14:22] <Phoenix87> txomon, what if my card is no longer officially supported?
[14:22] <userone> when i insert a usb i want ubuntu to 'do nothing' (except mount the usb). i dont want nautilus to start up. how can i change this?
[14:23] <deej1976> me-1: http://www.google.com/chrome/eula.html in firefox and download deb file
[14:23] <sipior> raven: if i read the man page correctly, that command will expect mail on standard input.
[14:23] <txomon> Phoenix87, no idea, never had that problem...
[14:23] <txomon> Phoenix87, and I think they never get "unsupported"
[14:23] <skilz> harsh343, Is it a directory or a file?
[14:23] <gappie> what is the best for running shell script at startup: using cron jobs or using /etc/rc.local ?
[14:23] <txomon> only distros get unsupported
[14:24] <me-1> deej1976,  is it not in repos..?
[14:24] <raven> sipior, it should send to that address!!??
[14:24] <txomon> (not pretty sure about that)
[14:24] <sipior> raven: send what, exactly?
[14:24] <deej1976> me-1: Nope
[14:24] <sipior> raven: (hint, hint)
[14:24] <me-1> deej1976, thank you
[14:24] <harsh343> skilz, it is a folder contain many files
[14:24] <raven> sipior, an empty mail to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>using the config file
[14:24] <skilz> harsh343, In that case cp -rf is what you are after.
[14:25] <RonaldJ> how do I install gssapiauthentication support for ssh-client?
[14:25] <deej1976> me-1: It will install a repositry and keep upto date, through the normal update-manager.
[14:25] <sipior> raven: well, it's possible the man page i'm consulting is out of date, but how about just giving it a real message on stdin?
[14:25] <skilz> Roasted, apt-cache search ssh
[14:25] <me-1> deej1976,  downloading right now thanx
[14:26] <raven> sipior, i never did anything with stdin/out - how to do that?
[14:27] <sipior> raven: "ssmtp<EMAIL_ADDRESS>< message.txt"
[14:27] <sipior> raven: or just invoke "ssmtp<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and then type a message, ending with ctrl-D.
[14:27] <skilz> RonaldJ, apt-cache search ssh
[14:28] <me-1> what is difference between apt-get update and apt-get upgrade..?
[14:29] <RonaldJ> skilz it is not that simple
[14:29] <martian> me-1: the first one just updates apt's list of available software
[14:29] <harsh343> skilz, ok thanks
[14:29] <oCean> me-1: update refreshes the local cache/softwarelist
[14:29] <skilz> me-1, update syncs the repos and upgrade upgrades your software.
[14:29] <deej1976> me-1: update updates the repositry information, upgrade installs new packages
[14:29] <raven> sipior, yes then i get a line with status 220 but no mail
[14:30] <me-1> deej1976, I have just installed ubuntu 11.10 should i ubdate or upgrade or both..?
[14:30] <sipior> raven: you've specified the smart relay host correctly?
[14:30] <skilz> me-1, both
[14:30] <deej1976> me-1: Run sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade
[14:30] <Wiz_KeeD> how do i unzip a file from one to location to another location?
[14:30] <raven> sipior, i think so
[14:30] <skilz> me-1, It's a good idea to do both at least once a week for security updates and such.
[14:31] <deej1976> me-1: This will update your system, i.e. firefox 7 upto 8
[14:31] <skilz> Wiz_KeeD, Depends on the zip format.
[14:31] <sipior> raven: might take a few minutes for the message to show up, at any rate.
[14:31] <Wiz_KeeD> idk...just zip
[14:31] <Wiz_KeeD> works with unzip
[14:31] <Wiz_KeeD> i just want to place it in the same folder as the original zip
[14:31] <raven> sipior, did it like the gmx example for arcor (me) on that page http://linuxundich.de/de/software/system-mails-ohne-einen-mail-server-mit-ssmtp-verschicken/#more-15889
[14:32] <skilz> i.e; unzip foo.zip /home/foo/bar/
[14:32] <me-1> ok
[14:32] <ssbpls> any help for me?
[14:33] <Wiz_KeeD> skilz, i did that
[14:33] <Wiz_KeeD> didn't work
[14:33] <skilz> Did the command return any errors?
[14:33] <Wiz_KeeD> filename not matched:

[14:34] <skilz> Wiz_KeeD, unzip file.zip /path/to/dir/*
[14:34] <Wiz_KeeD> use wildcard at the end?

[14:35] <Reikoku> Anyone using Unity-2D, how do I make the alt-f2 quick launch screen automatically appear maximised like in Unity-3D? There is a maximise button in the bottom right so I'm assuming it can be on by default.
[14:36] <Wiz_KeeD> didn't work either :(

[14:38] <Gentoo64> e01: i think skype uses qt
[14:39] <sipior> raven: are you quite sure the message was not delivered? smtp 220 means "service ready".
[14:39] <Baccari> yes, it's qt
[14:39] <e01> xangua, i was try but it won't work
[14:40] <raven> sipior, yes its not there
[14:40] <e01> raven, well, we have to start from somewhere
[14:40] <e01> ;)
[14:40] <sipior> raven: look through your logs, or contact support at GMX.
[14:40] <EisNerd> moin
[14:40] <raven> sipior, which log for example?
[14:41] <skilz> raven, /var/log/skype*
[14:41] <EisNerd> could someone tell what I have to do besaide configuring ldap stuff, to allow users to login in lightdm on 11.10?
[14:41] <EisNerd> beside
[14:41] <sipior> raven: hey, you *did* format the message correctly, right? with a "To:" and "From:", &cet.?
[14:42] <sipior> raven: have a look here: http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/10/21/sending-email-from-your-system-with-ssmtp/
[14:42] <bagero> hii
[14:43] <raven> sipior, i thought that all would be not necessary because of sending an empty mail as it is performed in this tutorial...
[14:43] <raven> sipior, ok
[14:43] <bagero> any one here from egy
[14:44] <moDuLeSs> Hi! I've got a couple of webbooks. One of them has fedora preinstalled by my company. I've installed ubuntu in the other one, but I'm unable to detect wireless networks. Although the fedora one detects them. How could I extract the module that uses fedora in order to use it in ubuntu??
[14:45] <ph8> is there any way i can get a taskbar back in oneiric?
[14:46] <ph8> I can deal with the menu and everything but task switching by just using alt+tab all the time is killing me!
[14:48] <e01> ph8, the big buttons in the left seems to be a pale copy of the futuristic taskbar, but for now it's just a junk
[14:49] <usl12> skilz, thanks. I want to login to console, no X.
[14:49] <usl12> I'm trying with modifying grub to use "text"
[14:49] <ph8> with the buttons on the left...
[14:49] <ph8> how do i start something more than once?
[14:49] <iceroot> !nox | usl12
[14:49] <ph8> if i want more than one nautilus window for example, is there some trick?
[14:50] <me-1> I cant install anything ...http://paste.ubuntu.com/752534/
[14:50] <iceroot> ph8: start it two times
[14:50] <ph8> i'm also on a three screen setup so going all the way to the left to get to the 'futuristic' task bar is a pain
[14:50] <e01> ph8, middle click
[14:50] <john21> has legacy systray of unity-2d been fixed in daily builds ppa?
[14:50] <ph8> and if i don't have a middle mouse button?
[14:50] <ph8> (i actually don't)
[14:50] <e01> right click and new window
[14:50] <ph8> if i right click i don't see a new window option
[14:50] <iceroot> me-1: output of "cat /etc/issue" and "cat /etc/apt/sources.list" please
[14:50] <iceroot> !paste | me-1
[14:51] <Gentoo64> ph8: you might need alt-right click or something like that
[14:51] <ph8> oh you mean from nautilus itself?
[14:51] <Gentoo64> ph8: whatever way its a pita
[14:51] <ph8> i want to do it from the task bar though
[14:51] <e01> if you want to switch between grouped application you have to click twice on the button (wich is totally insane)
[14:51] <ph8> this just feels really untested right?
[14:51] <ph8> like it's gone through no UAT whatsoever?
[14:51] <Gentoo64> yeah everyone hates it
[14:51] <ph8> it's not just me?
[14:51] <e01> ph8, no from the unity launcher, there is "New window" option
[14:51] <me-1> iceroot, Ubuntu 11.10 \n \l
[14:51] <ph8> so if i open the launcher, hover over the folder that opens 'home folder' (i.e. the quickest way to nautilus)
[14:51] <ph8> and i right click, i don't see a new window option
[14:52] <e01> ph8, just try the classic ubuntu or go to kde
[14:52] <ph8> but i can't go back to classic from oneiric without downgrading? or has that changed?
[14:52] <iceroot> ph8: gnome-panel is like gnome2
[14:52] <iceroot> !nounity | ph8
[14:52] <iceroot> ph8: but the real classic gnome2 is not available in 11.10
[14:52] <ph8> thanks :/
[14:53] <ph8> :/ for the complexity
[14:53] <ph8> thanks for the help
[14:53] <me-1> iceroot, http://paste.ubuntu.com/752537/
[14:53] <dr_willis> You click once on the button to show the groups.. then you can select specifkc windows and move them to other desktops - i think is the reason for the 2nd click being needed
[14:53] <Gentoo64> One day, Gnome has got to sort out a different fallback mode, one thats exactly like Gnome2
[14:53] <Gentoo64> otherwise no ones gona use it
[14:53] <iceroot> me-1: also please "apt-cache policy gimp"
[14:54] <iceroot> Gentoo64: like kde4? now everyone is using kde4 and not kde3 or any fallbacks to kde3
[14:54] <iceroot> Gentoo64: just a matter of time until gnome2 will be forgotten
[14:54] <Gentoo64> iceroot: kde hasnt changed drastically though
[14:54] <iceroot> Gentoo64: of course it has
[14:54] <Gentoo64> its always had the panel etc
[14:54] <iceroot> Gentoo64: from bad to very very bad
[14:55] <Gentoo64> lol
[14:55] <me-1> iceroot,  http://paste.ubuntu.com/752538/
[14:55] <Gentoo64> but the layout is still predictable
[14:55] <iceroot> me-1: sudo apt-get install -f
[14:55] <gappie> I added /home/itsblue1/Desktop/blue.sh to rc.local before the "exit 0". When i run rc.local the shell script executes, but on system startup it does not. Any ideas?
[14:55] <Gentoo64> i mean its stupid that people actually have to ask how to open a new program window
[14:55] <dr_willis> I think they should totally get rid of the fallback stuff. :) make people change!
[14:55] <me-1> iceroot,  the problem started when chrom .deb faild to install
[14:56] <dr_willis> gappie:  whats the exact line you have in  rc.local ?
[14:56] <Inumedia> For some reason the effects I enabled with CompizConfig doesn't seem to actually be enabled.  I've tried rebooting multiple times.
[14:56] <gappie> dr_willis : /home/itsblue1/Desktop/blue.sh
[14:56] <Inumedia> I've got the proprietary driver for ATI installed and working properly, could that still be the issue?
[14:56] <dr_willis> gappie:  and what does blue.sh do?
[14:56] <gappie> shell script
[14:57] <gappie> runs in continues loop
[14:57] <Gentoo64> Inumedia: no, youll need it for effects afaik
[14:57] <gappie> bluetooth functions
[14:57] <dr_willis> gappie:    and do you need it to run as root?
[14:57] <gappie> yes
[14:57] <Inumedia> What would cause the effects to just not work?
[14:57] <lucidguy> Is it extremely NOT recommended to attach a single server physically to multiple networks.  Example. WebServer with 3nics .. 1nic in DMZ public access and remaining 2 to two different local vlans?  Is that some sort of naughty bad best practice?
[14:57] <gappie> root access is in shell script
[14:57] <dr_willis> gappie:  you may want to be starging it with a & at the end.
[14:57] <dr_willis> gappie:  what do you mean root access is in shell script?
[14:57] <Yanch0>  on first boot (in live cd it was ok) just after posting, i get a lot of green bars and funny stuff on the monitor for a couple of seconds (Say 30) then the screen goes black- hard disk seems to be still active for another minute or so. any ideas what to look at pls ? this is my dmesg : http://pastebin.com/iVpX7wxt
[14:58] <Pici> lucidguy: Thats not really in-scope for this channel. ##networking may be a better place to ask
[14:58] <gappie> dr_willis : the sudo passwordis included in the shell script
[14:58] <me-1> iceroot,  http://paste.ubuntu.com/752540/  is it fine now
[14:58] <dr_willis> gappie:  err.. anything ran by rc.local is allready running as root.
[14:58] <lucidguy> Pici: gotcha .. it is an Ubuntu server.
[14:58] <dr_willis> gappie:  no need for  sudo
[14:58] <Pici> lucidguy: Still.
[14:58] <gappie> dr_willis : ok so what does the & do?
[14:58] <Wiz_KeeD> so how do i unzeip from /path/to/zip.zip and put it in /path/to/unzipped/location ?
[14:58] <dr_willis> spawns it to the background so it dosent hang rc.local
[14:59] <gappie> ok
[14:59] <gappie> so i wont see the echo commands?
[14:59] <dr_willis> running from rc.local you most likely wont see any commands anyway.
[14:59] <dr_willis> you are not starting any X apps/gui stuff from that script are you?
[14:59] <gappie> dr_willis : is it /home/itsblue1/Desktop/blue.sh & or no space "...blue.sh&"
[15:00] <gappie> no gui
[15:00] <dr_willis> bash 101.. no space. :)
[15:00] <gappie> will try it thanks
[15:00] <Pici> gappie: doesn't matter.
[15:00] <dr_willis> cant say ive really noticed.. :) i tend to  just do it from habbit.
[15:01] <Inumedia> Could it be that I just don't have something enabled?  I know that I disabled something in CompizConfig and everything just turned off and I had to re-enable everything manually.
[15:01] <dr_willis> i guess with a space is eaier to read
[15:01] <me-1> iceroot,  the problem is fixed thank you
[15:01] <dr_willis> gappie:  you most likely shold be putting that script in a better location. and if it still has issues. you may want to pastebin that script
[15:01] <gappie> dr_willis : where is a better location?
[15:02] <dr_willis> gappie:  anywhere other then your users desktop.. :)
[15:02] <gappie> oh you mean folder
[15:02] <dr_willis> gappie:  'directory' :P
[15:02] <BluesKaj> Hey all
[15:02] <gappie> dr_willis : so where then?
[15:03] <dr_willis>  /home/username/bin/  or /root/bin   or /opt/bin    somewhere where you wont accidnetlyd elete it.. and see it all the time..
[15:03] <gappie> it is a server system
[15:03] <gappie> so no desktop
[15:03] <dr_willis> gappie:   you can have desktops on server systems..
[15:03] <dr_willis> put it in your bin dir.. thats where scripts should go.
[15:03] <gappie> ok
[15:04] <gappie> still not woring
[15:04] <dr_willis> a neat and tidy system is a happy system...
[15:04] <dr_willis> pastebin the script perhaps..
[15:05] <skilz> gappie, I have a server with no monitor which I vnc into and use the desktop on my laptop
[15:05] <dr_willis> the 'server/desktop' defintion is a bit blury at times. :)
[15:06] <gappie> dr_willis : the script works. runs without problems. just not on startup
[15:06] <dr_willis> my 'desktop' machine is now a headless server.
[15:06] <dr_willis> gappie:  so its somthing the script is doing i imagine.. try a simpiler test script...
[15:06] <Gentoo64> dr_willis: whats tghe use of that?> lol
[15:06] <dr_willis> Gentoo64:  i needed the monitor for a differnt machine. :)
[15:07] <gappie> in ubuntu desktop i could get it running on system startup
[15:07] <dr_willis> Gentoo64:  so that desktop box got moved to the  basement. :) its my znc server for now.
[15:07] <gappie> ok have to go home
[15:07] <gappie> work day over
[15:07] <gappie> thanks anyway
[15:07] <nitin_> ping
[15:08] <nitin_> hi...i m new at linux....can i have help over dat
[15:08] <Gentoo64> nitin_: whats the problem
[15:09] <SpiderFred> hi i need some lightweight vpn client program I prefer programs with command line interface, any ideas?
[15:10] <chriswk> SpiderFred: have a look at openvpn
[15:14] <Wiz_KeeD> so how do i unzeip from /path/to/zip.zip and put it in /path/to/unzipped/location ?
[15:15] <geirha> Wiz_KeeD: (cd /path/to/unzipped && unzip /path/to/zip.zip)
[15:15] <martian> Wiz_KeeD: from a terminal? Try running 'man unzip' and take a look at the -d option
[15:16] <BluesKaj> Wiz_KeeD, cd to the location , unzip the file , then move the new unzipped folder to your desired path
[15:17] <maher> where do i find the packages for pre-hardy releases?
[15:17] <BluesKaj> !hardy
[15:18] <Pici> maher: old-releases.ubuntu.com, but you should highly consider upgrading.
[15:18] <biopyte> hi, i have problems a website not working with microsoft silverlight. i installed the moonlight packages ... still not working. any idea?
[15:19] <Timewarper> hey
[15:20] <Timewarper> does hard disk performance decrease when its loaded with more data/
[15:20] <Timewarper> ?
[15:20] <thisistheaussiet> Does anyone have this problem in Ubuntu? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcI-OfPQ3aU
[15:20] <auronandace> biopyte: convince them to stop using silverlight
[15:20] <richthegeek> hi - i want to swap the _ and - keys and can't figure out the xmodmap format for doing that. Anyone know how to do it properly?
[15:20] <Gentoo64> Timewarper: shouldnt do
[15:20] <maher> Pici: thanks
[15:21] <Gentoo64> Timewarper: i think ssds performance goes down the more its full though
[15:21] <Luke> Does anyone know what the new gear/on-off indicator menu is called on the top right of the screen?
[15:21] <maher> Timewarper: usually slightly
[15:21] <biopyte> auronandace: you are right, usually i wouldnt give a damn, but this particular website i would like running ... whatever i give up ... i dont see a chance to work that out
[15:22] <auronandace> biopyte: could use a vm
[15:23] <tjingboem> where is the file for the autostart applications?
[15:23] <biopyte> right
[15:23] <auronandace> biopyte: a vm would be a bit overkill just for silverlight though
[15:23]  * teddie runs a vm for shockwave
[15:23] <auronandace> lol
[15:24] <recon69_lap> hi all, anyone got information on when network manager will not connect to wireless ap without a reboot
[15:24] <biopyte> correct, i better forget it
[15:25] <recon69_lap> getting sick of rebooting ubuntu repeatedly , starting to make me think of trying out windows again, 2 reboots today already
[15:27] <Tebyghenya> Hi! I have an offline Ubuntu 11.10. I want to make it read .mp3/.avi files. Do you know how? Google/Yahoo don't give me answers.
[15:27] <auronandace> !aptoncd | Tebyghenya
[15:27] <Tebyghenya> Ok, can I get it from synapticon?
[15:28] <Tebyghenya> Yes I can. Let's install it.
[15:30] <sereal> has anyone had any luck getting dual monitors working with a ati 6950?
[15:31] <sereal> I'm doing a dist upgrade to ubuntu 11.10 right now see if that makes any difference
[15:31] <apol> i'd like to try unity2d on my netbook. what do I have to download? the desktop version?

[15:32] <sereal> apol, do you have ubuntu already installed?
[15:32] <NixGeek> I'm trying to remove sun-java6-jre from my server, but it wants to install openjdk6 automatically.  How can I stop it from installing and remove the old java?
[15:33] <Tebyghenya> If I know how to make aptoncd it will be fantastic! I just read the description of the program
[15:33] <apol> sereal: i want to nuke what i have, so it's ok
[15:33] <apol> :P
[15:33] <Tebyghenya> *how to make aptoncd run
[15:33] <Tebyghenya> apol: XD
[15:34] <apol> btw, is it possible to create a usb stick without this gui app?
[15:34] <apol> i don't have an ubuntu system to do so
[15:34] <sereal> why do you want to get rid of what you have?
[15:34] <NixGeek> apol: I don't think so on windows
[15:34] <apol> sereal: it's a broken opensuse install where I was playing with plasma active beta versions
[15:34] <Tebyghenya> apol: yes you can.
[15:34] <Tebyghenya> apol: what OS do you have?
[15:35] <apol> Tebyghenya: an opensuse and an archlinux
[15:35] <Tebyghenya> apol: at least you don't have windows XD
[15:35] <NixGeek> Tebyghenya: a-man
[15:35] <apol> ¬¬ what do you mean by "at least"
[15:36] <Tebyghenya> apol: I don't know what you might have understand.  I'm trying to compile my first C program, and I'm getting an error code
[15:37] <Tebyghenya> orkester: you should ask in a C room then.
[15:37] <apol> Tebyghenya: can you tell me how? will just a regular dd work?
[15:37] <Gentoo64> orkester, why not as in c
[15:37] <Tebyghenya> apol: yeah, yeah, I am in.
[15:37] <apol> ok sorry :)

[15:39] <truefx> how can i assign run commant to windows+R keys instead of Alt+F2 ?
[15:39] <ecu_> buenas tardes, tengo un problemilla con el grub, sin cambiar nada de la noche a la mañana a dejado de hacer la cuenta atras y arrancar automaticamente porque puede ser? he realizado un update-grub sin mucho resultado
[15:40] <ecu_> good afternoon, I have a little problem with grub, without changing anything about overnight has left to do the countdown and boot automatically because it can be? I did a update-grub without much result
[15:40] <apol> dr_willis: i'm fine with using the console
[15:40] <truefx> dr_willis, how can i assign run commant to windows+R keys instead of Alt+F2 ?
[15:40] <Tebyghenya> apol: it is hard to find a program.
[15:41] <Tebyghenya> apol: I think that you could install WIne and try this program
[15:41] <apol> uh oh
[15:41] <apol> I think you're workarounding a lot xD
[15:41] <Gentoo64> apol, arch has unetbootinm

[15:47] <Yanch0> how to remove nvidia-current from your machine and install legacy drivers pls? its oneirc
[15:48] <Gentoo64> Yanch0, go into the additional driver bit
[15:48] <Gentoo64> same way you installed them
[15:48] <Gentoo64> should be in the system settings, if not try jockey-gtk in terminal (might need sudo)
[15:49] <binni> audio recording works yet I can't find the device in /dev/, neither dsp* or audio* is in there, where is it?
[15:49] <Yanch0> Gentoo64, can't get more than console. modprobe nvidia is showing: FATAL: Error inserting nvidia_current_updates (/lib/modules/3.0.0-13-generic/updates/dkms/nvidia_current_updates.ko): No such device and  The NVIDIA GeForce FX 5600 GPU installed in this system is supported through the NVIDIA 173.14.xx Legacy drivers. Please
[15:49] <sereal> Yanch0, your first mistake was using a nvidia card
[15:50] <Gentoo64> ?
[15:50] <pauluntu> funny i switched to nvidia cause everyone complained about ati now i am on nvidia and everyone complaining about that
[15:50] <biopyte> i know there is a download in the background writing to a file on my hdd, but i dont know which one? how can i find out where the download is written to?
[15:50] <Gentoo64> Yanch0, no idea if apt-get remove nvidia-current works
[15:51] <Gentoo64> pauluntu, nvidia is good
[15:51] <Gentoo64> its the best
[15:52] <Yanch0> pauluntu, make that +1
[15:52] <Gentoo64> well nvidia has the best drivers, and cuda and vdpau

[16:05] <pauluntu> Reikoku, ali baba slots is free with no sound
[16:06] <Reikoku> pauluntu: Hog Heaven crashed my Firefox outright :P
[16:06] <raven> how to write date and times to files in format yyyy-mm-dd--hh.mm.ss?
[16:06] <fhussain> I get no sound on login. WHat should I check. I'm using startx with .xinitrc. It has pulseaudio --daemonize and start-pulseaudio-x11
[16:07] <Reikoku> Going to ask another awkward question which seems to have no documentation anywhere: how do I remove indicators from the unity-2d panel? It appears that the whitelist method to remove Skype from the panel only worked in 3d...
[16:07] <Reikoku> pauluntu: Yeah these are straight up crashing my Firefox :S
[16:07] <sharpK> does anyone know of a program to display dd-wrt stats (bandwidth monitor, etc) on the desktop?
[16:08] <sharpK> and possibly log those stats?
[16:08] <pauluntu> Reikoku, yeah openjdk does that, thats why i had to install the real java :P
[16:08] <Gentoo64> sharpK, can you not view them in the router? Tomato has a bandwidth monitor
[16:08] <apol> dr_willis: dd worked great
[16:08] <apol> thanks
[16:09] <sharpK> Gentoo64, I can view them in the browser with DD-wrt, but I was wondering if there is an app that can acutally show this (all the status tabs) on the desktop, and be able to log this kind of activity for extended periods...
[16:10] <Gentoo64> sharpK, not as far as i know. i think youd need a comp to act as the router to log it all that way. i could be wrong though
[16:10] <sharpK> Gentoo64 Thanks anywhoos
[16:10] <Gentoo64> but the only app would be the browser afaik
[16:11] <Gentoo64> you should be able to choose a log destination to a comp from ddwrt
[16:11] <Gentoo64> i think
[16:12] <sharpK> ill look into it thanks
