[08:04] <dreamsforgotten> Dawnlight about to quit got this on ifup wlan0 siocsifflags no such file or directory sending on lpf/wlan0/macaddy received packet failed on wlan0 network is down
[08:04] <josuf107> dawnlight is gone | weems
[08:04] <Weems> oh
[08:04] <Flynn> Ok hold on
[08:04] <new_kid1> Flynn : sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[08:04] <josuf107> oh
[08:04] <josuf107> hey
[08:04] <josuf107> @flynn, if you're not sure about this
[08:05] <ondrejk> hello, after upgrading to new version my nm-applet and volume control applet disappeared, tray is not missing and nm-applet --sm-disabled exists in autostart applications, when i run nm-applet manually into console, nm-applet icon will show up
[08:05] <gnewb> Flynn: Many KDE programs run well in Gnome, Flux, OB, or many others I have forgotten to name, that like ubottu showed is a good one.
[08:05] <josuf107> flynn you should be aware that doing sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop will install a large number of packages
[08:05] <Blue1> ondrejk: ru running gnome?
[08:05] <ondrejk> Blue1: yup
[08:05] <josuf107> but sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop will not remove all of them
[08:06] <josuf107> at least, not the last time I did this
[08:06] <tx0105> Bluel - The biggest issue is that I think Intel graphics driver is shot...it's defaulting me in a 1024x768 resolution despite having a widescreen monitor (my screen has black bars on each side)....if i try to increase the resolution in the monitor config, ubuntu acts up (kubuntu 11.04 went crazy and crashed)
[08:06] <Flynn> Ok that didn't work:  Package kde is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[08:06] <Flynn> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[08:06] <Flynn> is only available from another source
[08:06] <DawnLight> ok. that worked
[08:07] <Blue1> ondrejk: okay right click on an used portion of the task bar, left click on add to panel, then left click on indicator applet
[08:07] <josuf107> nice work dawnlight
[08:07] <gnewb> Flynn: Yes, what josuf107 stated is very true, is either go full KDE or just use sme of the neato prgrams from the KDE team, I like K3B, but some of the stuff is a matter of personal preferences.
[08:07] <faryshta> Can someone help me with my microphone?
[08:07] <Blue1> ondrejk: note this works in 10.10 dunno about 11.04
[08:08] <Blue1> !sound | faryshta
[08:08] <Flynn> gnewb: Ok well how do I go full KDE?  In GUI
[08:08] <dreamsforgotten> Dawnlight thanks anyway for your time
[08:08] <ondrejk> Blue1: it does not work for network manager applet
[08:08] <josuf107> flynn: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[08:08] <gnewb> !KDE | Flynn
[08:08] <dreamsforgotten> Dawnlight I do appreciate it!
[08:08] <josuf107> i do believe
[08:08] <Flynn> Is KDE less "buggy"
[08:09] <Blue1> ondrejk: oops I though you said volume control
[08:09] <josuf107> xmonad is less buggy
[08:09] <faryshta> Blue1, not the same issue.
[08:09] <josuf107> flynn disregard former comment about xmonad
[08:10] <ondrejk> Blue1: volume control does not work also, but this is not as problematic as missing network manager plugin
[08:10] <DDAZZA> Hello, I've recently tried to upgrade to 11.4 however my computer won't boot any more and gives this error: http://pastebin.com/aZHg9q6M How can I resolve this?
[08:10] <Blue1> ondrejk: let me schlep for a sec
[08:11] <ondrejk> Blue1: i dont understand it, command which should start nm-applet is already present in autostart applications but it wont start after login, each time i log gin i need to type nm-applet into terminal
[08:11] <ondrejk> Blue1: ok
[08:11] <Blue1> ondrejk: you do have a notification area, right?
[08:11] <ondrejk> Blue1: yes i do
[08:11] <tx0105> blue1 - any advice on the video resolution issue?
[08:12] <Flynn> josuf107:  OK but, whayt do you think of KDE?
[08:13] <Flynn> All this because I wanted a simple animated wallpaper.
[08:13] <Blue1> ondrejk: worth a shot:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=423543
[08:13] <josuf107> flynn: KDE is great. lots of people I know and admire do amazing work on it
[08:14] <Flynn> K I'll try it.
[08:14] <Blue1> ondrejk: see # 4
[08:14] <ondrejk> Blue1: will check it
[08:14] <BigPalabra> hey .. It's there some kind of bug in Ubuntu 11.04 when you activate compiz ???
[08:14] <paranoidphreak> hi everybody, is there anyway to share cpu load over the network?
[08:14] <josuf107> flynn: you should know though that I don't use it myself. I have used it, and it's very attractive and useable, but I prefer something a little lighter
[08:14] <Blue1> ondrejk: best I could find -- not tried it personally
[08:14] <ondrejk> Blue1: this is not my problem, i can start nm-applet manually .. but it wont start automatically after logging in
[08:15] <Blue1> ondrejk: and this tells you how to fix that.
[08:15] <Flynn> Ubuntu can't seem to locate package Kubuntu
[08:15] <josuf107> try kubuntu-desktop
[08:15] <new_kid1> Flynn :sudo apt-get update
[08:15] <josuf107> that too
[08:15] <josuf107> jic
[08:16] <Flynn> oops! ok
[08:16] <tx0105> i guess nobody has anything to say about my issue
[08:17] <Blue1> ondrejk: iow System/Preferences/Startup Applications/Options/ click on automatically remember running apps when logging out -- then click remember currently running apps
[08:17] <josuf107> tx0105: what is your issue?
[08:17] <new_kid1>  tx0105:You must mention your graphichs hardware
[08:17] <Flynn> 382 MB!  Hopefully that can be trimmed later!
[08:17] <thegoodcushion> Good afternoon all Ubuntu people!  I hope that you're having a great day!
[08:17] <new_kid1>  tx0105: Then may be people can help
[08:18] <spix> good afternoon
[08:18] <tx0105> i have an integrated intel graphics card in a toshiba laptop....never had any issue with any distro before
[08:18] <spix> who use sabily in here?
[08:19] <red2kic> I'm back on Gnome2.30 -- I'll never take things for granted! ;o

[08:20] <DDAZZA> Hello, I've recently tried to upgrade to 11.4 however my computer won't boot any more and gives this error: http://pastebin.com/aZHg9q6M How can I resolve this?
[08:20] <gaurav_help> i am getting seriously big trouble  i updated my ubuntu 10.10 to ubuntu 11.04 and my system getting many error maximize or close button is not appreaing on window ,
[08:21] <BigPalabra> gaurav_help:  I have the same problem
[08:21] <vagvaf> DDAZZA: did u press 's' ?
[08:21] <Flynn> which display manager should I use?  Gdm or kdm
[08:21] <mr0> hi
[08:21] <giacomo_c> DawnLight, i have no idea what i did, but i fixed it... like a linux pro
[08:22] <josuf107> flynn: use kdm for the immersive kde experience
[08:22] <red2kic> Flynn: If you're using GNOME, gdm. If you're using KDE, kdm.
[08:22] <Flynn> OK that's what I thought
[08:22] <gaurav_help> my sticky notes removed automatically how i recover that contains lot of  things and much important
[08:22] <gaurav_help> plz
[08:22] <DDAZZA> vagvaf, yes
[08:22] <tx0105> new_kid1 - it's an intel mobile 4 integrated graphics controller...driver is i915 (driver module drm)
[08:22] <tx0105> what other info would be helpful?
[08:23] <mr0> anyone know how to run a .exe in ubuntu?
[08:23] <josuf107> mr0: wine?
[08:23] <red2kic> mr0: Wine.
[08:23] <Blue1> mr0: install wine?
[08:23] <Flynn> josuf107:  You're right a freakin' third of a gig seems excessive.
[08:23] <mr0> I got WINE, and PLAY ON UBUNTU, but it still wont let me open the file
[08:24] <mr0> says it doesn't have permission
[08:24] <josuf107> flynn: you're getting a lot of new software
[08:24] <josuf107> mr0: you need to chmod u+x file.exe
[08:24] <Blue1> mr0: have you checked the wine site?  ah permission error is something entirely different
[08:24] <josuf107> or right-click
[08:24] <mithran> mr0: change permissions of .exe file
[08:24] <BigPalabra> I just upgrade to 11.04 from 10.10, when I activate compiz cannot access the bar that appears on the left, and cannot close or maximize the windows
[08:24] <Blue1> mr0: what josuf107 said
[08:24] <josuf107> and and properties -> allow executing as a file
[08:24] <andyland> Hi! I'm running a server on 10.04.2 LTS, I have sphinxsearch <IP_ADDRESS>-release (r1533). I would like to update this to version 0.9.9.   I wish it had a general progress bar.
[08:25] <mr0> hmm, I'm pretty noob at ubuntu and linux in general. Is there a walkthrough for chmod u+x file.exe?
[08:26] <mr0> okay I'll try that
[08:26] <josuf107> flynn: you're getting a lot of new programs and utilities. A desktop environment comes with all kinds of trappings and gizmos which you will find very useful later
[08:26] <Flynn> KO
[08:26] <josuf107> flynn: think of it as a desktop experience instead
[08:27] <Flynn> Sounds cool.
[08:27] <mithran> andyland: download .deb abd dpkg -G
[08:27] <Flynn> Open  source confuses me.
[08:28] <josuf107> open source stimulates me
[08:28] <mithran> abd --> and
[08:28] <Blue1> Flynn: what specifically?
[08:28] <andyland> mithran: thanks will try it now
[08:29] <Blue1> Flynn: the great thing about open source, is you are your own system administrator.  the worst thing about open source is, you are your own system adminstrator.
[08:29] <Flynn> Blue1:  If x amount of people want to download something, who "foots" the bill as far as space on a server somewhere?
[08:29] <Blue1> Flynn: commercial users
[08:30] <gaurav_help> how i recover my windows buttons in ubuntu 11.04 my system is freaking me out
[08:30] <Flynn> eventually the buck will get passed to us.
[08:30] <skrite> hey all
[08:31] <jcmarini> Flynn: if you get animated wallpaper i would be very interested- but i wouldn't try it
[08:31] <Blue1> Flynn: I have been using linux for 6 years, no body has charged me yet.
[08:31] <Flynn> TV used to be free too. Remember?
[08:31] <Blue1> Flynn: i pay my cable company for net access is all.
[08:31] <Blue1> Flynn: still is
[08:32] <Flynn> you pay a cable bill right?
[08:32] <Blue1> Flynn: private message ok?
[08:32] <red2kic> ._.
[08:32] <josuf107> i don't have a tv =/
[08:32] <Flynn> I gtg anyway i think my kubun.... whatever is done i wanna try it.
[08:33] <josuf107> flynn: enjoy!
[08:33] <boomboorum> My window headers dissapered after I played a little with compiz and restarted (Ubuntu 11.04   Classic version - gnome)
[08:33] <gaurav_help> how i recover my ubuntu 10.10 to my back condition my system is not getting close button on windows and my many application is just getting removed
[08:34] <Blue1> gaurav_help: you would have to backup your system, then re-install 10.10
[08:34] <avinashhm> Hi guys ,  i used pendrivelinux.com ( Universal-USB-Installer-v1.5.1.exe ) to install ubuntu to my flash drive .. is there a similar application for ubuntu ..any help pls
[08:34] <red2kic> !usb | avinashhm

[08:35] <red2kic> avinashhm: No problem. Good luck.
[08:37] <k|oWn> whats with java on 11.04 ??  on 10.10, it was automatic and now its a bunch of headache
[08:38] <josuf107> kjown: what problems are you having? I haven't updated so I'm powerfully curious
[08:40] <mikunos> Niente da fare
[08:40] <mikunos> non sento niente
[08:41] <mikunos> la scheda audio non vuole funzionare più
[08:41] <DJones> !it | mikunos
[08:41] <mikunos> Hi guys
[08:41] <mikunos> my audio card dosn't work anymore
[08:41] <mikunos> *doesn't
[08:41] <k|oWn> josuf107: when i had 10.10 and the updater asked me if i want to goto 11.04 i did it. it took a couple hours of downloading and installing, then it completely hosed my grub and my linux install. i even couldnt access the windows side of my dualboot.
[08:42] <josuf107> kjown: sounds promising
[08:42] <k|oWn> now ive installed a fresh copy of 11.04 and it got my grub back and my windows(barf) loads ok now. but the ubuntu 11.04 doesnt have java just "working" like before
[08:42] <Blue1> k|oWn: well I know a fix for grub, but ymmv applies -- I never update, I do a fresh install
[08:42] <k|oWn> i could have hacked the grub to work i know
[08:43] <k|oWn> but with a powerful amount of problems the update is useless
[08:43] <k|oWn> so, like always with crappywindows, a fresh instal lis better
[08:43] <k|oWn> but what about java why isnt it just included like on 1010
[08:43] <k|oWn> now have to manually download it
[08:43] <andyland> mithran: Just downloaded the deb file via wget, name of the file is: sphinxsearch_0.9.9-6_i386.deb what was the dpkg install command again?
[08:43] <Blue1> k|oWn: i backup /etc/ and /home/ and then do a fresh install.
[08:44] <k|oWn> and newbs have to learn chmod
[08:44] <k|oWn> and symbolic links
[08:44] <k|oWn> and all that
[08:44] <andyland> chmod 777 * -R and everybody's happy :D
[08:44] <k|oWn> get into the terminal = bull shit just to use java especially for ubuntu, which is supposed to entice winblows people to use it ?
[08:44] <k|oWn> and you have to goto the gdamn command line just for java
[08:45] <oCean> k|oWn: stop that language please
[08:45] <gnewb> !java
[08:45] <Blue1> andyland: and there is the command of woe but we won't show that.
[08:46] <k|oWn> change the permissions to 777 damn hacks must love your systems
[08:46] <andyland> Blue1: yeah who cares about security and all. SQL Injections please
[08:46] <k|oWn> i suggest "rm -r *"
[08:46] <Blue1> k|oWn: been there, done that~!
[08:47] <oCean> k|oWn: please calm down and don't suggest such commands here,
[08:47] <k|oWn> oh cool its a link to javas web site
[08:47] <andyland> have you tried sudo rm -rf /? love that command
[08:47] <oCean> !danger
[08:47] <k|oWn> thats where i got the bin and read their instructions how to install it
[08:47] <DJones> andyland: Don't suggest that command
[08:47] <oCean> andyland: don't ever suggest that here
[08:48] <k|oWn> i suggest you put a quarter stick of TNT in your arse
[08:48] <k|oWn> and light it
[08:48] <gnewb> Yall please stop those silly and very harmful CLI commands, some of us are still trying to learn, Thank you.
[08:48] <jcmarini> burner will not recognise blank dvd but cd ok
[08:48] <forces> !compiz
[08:48] <andyland> my bad. it seems like if you're stupid enough to try it. you get what you deserve
[08:48] <k|oWn> and climb into your computers case
[08:48] <SimonPHOENIX> i made update distribution of ubuntu, and new ubuntu seems like vista-shit
[08:48] <Blue1> i thought they were going to wayland for display managment
[08:49] <k|oWn> yeah well it is
[08:49] <SimonPHOENIX> how to change my desktop
[08:49] <k|oWn> sorry to hear about your upgrade
[08:49] <Pritesh> i have upgraded from ubuntu 10.10 to 11.04 now it doesn't load and stuck on ubuntu screen
[08:49] <Pritesh> anybody seen that problem ??
[08:50] <k|oWn> Pritesh i just had that problem
[08:50] <giacomo_c> oh god, spoke too soon, now my download speeds are worse than before
[08:50] <k|oWn> for me i figured out so far that it was actually loading
[08:50] <k|oWn> it took 15 minutes
[08:50] <k|oWn> someone here suggested it might be something i have connected to my USB that makes 11.04 load slow
[08:50] <Pritesh> k|oWn its not loading at all for me
[08:50] <k|oWn> yeah mine seemed like it wasnt loading at all either
[08:51] <Pritesh> how did you fix it ?
[08:51] <k_sze> I need pointers to get a Windows CE 6.0 device to communicate with Ubuntu 10.10 through TCP/IP over USB. I don't need all those contact-list, calendar, etc synchronized; just plain-old TCP/IP communication. Is SynCE the right way to do? I have heard about rndis, but the newer versions of SynCE seem to do away with rndis, if I understand correctly.
[08:51] <k|oWn> i did turn off quiet-splash and that made it so i could watch it load slowly
[08:52] <Dattebayo> can compiz work on netook 2D?
[08:52] <k|oWn> its still loaded, i havnt tried it again with the USB thing unplugged
[08:52] <Flynn> This si freaky
[08:52] <k|oWn> but my system would make it to the ubuntu logo splash screen thing with the five scrolling dots
[08:52] <josuf107> flynn: you're already in KDE?
[08:52] <Pritesh> i don't have usb connected
[08:53] <Flynn> Yep.
[08:53] <k|oWn> pritesh: are you stuck at the ubuntu logo with the scrolling dots like i was ?
[08:53] <rafalk42> hello, I'm trying to upgrade ubuntu server to 11.04 and I get following errors: http://pastebin.com/9whvVhs1 . Can i throw out one of those offending packages?
[08:54] <Pritesh> yes thats where it is getting stuck
[08:54] <atlef> !classic | SimonPHOENIX,
[08:55] <novitololo> Hi. I'm trying to use VirtualBox because I need to do a project under Windows.  When configuring serial, I write the route of the host to /dev/ttys0 related to the COM1.  When launching Windows I keep getting an error like it's not connecting to the serial port (it doesn't see it!).  Any thoughts?
[08:55] <k|oWn> "sudo rm -fR ./*" would wipe the whole system, or would it wind up wiping itself and having half a system left, or where does it begin removing files? alphabetically ?
[08:55] <Ymer-work-> If i have 2 cron jobs, that are executed on the same minute, and the second job (slave) is depending on the first(master) to finish, does cron have any way to determine which job to be run first? In ps aux, I can see the (master) job first, and with a lower PID.
[08:56] <sudipta> can  anyone tell me where to find something about upcoming features of unity in ubuntu11.04

[08:56] <gnewb> rafalk42: Try pastbin?
[08:56] <jcmarini> Flynn: is it fun. it wil l \be
[08:57] <rafalk42> gnewb: what?
[08:57] <gnewb> !pastebin | rafalk42
[08:57] <susundberg> Ymer-work-: at least one solution is to make single perl / etc script that does fork() and handles the waiting of previous
[08:57] <rafalk42> gnewb: http://paste.ubuntu.com/603593/
[08:58] <andyland> smart people: any thoughts? http://imgur.com/x9mXk
[08:58] <k|oWn> Pritesh: try "alt-ctrl-F1" and see if there are any errors? then altctrlF7 brings you back, but at that screen with the scrolling dots, right before it , i pressed escape and removed -quiet-splash form the kernal options and it let me watch what was going on instead of staring at a bunch of neverending scrolling dots
[08:59] <k|oWn> from that i learned in not stuck or locked just its taking about fifteen minutes to load instead of the one minute that 10.10 took
[08:59] <johnm> rename u1304582312GMdga ricardo_davis_fb
[08:59] <johnm> save
[08:59] <susundberg> Ymer-work-: if they need to be runned at same time that is. if not, just run them one after another: make run_scripts.sh that contains the commands one after another.
[08:59] <gnewb> rafalk42: Thank you, that is much easier to understand, on install did you select and test Keyboard?
[09:00] <rafalk42> gnewb: I just changed sources.list and did apt-get update ; apt-get dist-upgrade
[09:01] <Ymer-work-> susundberg, well the cron jobs is actually configured, (master) */1 and slave */2, but the result will be that they will run "at the same time" every minute. The jobs are actually working as intended, was just curious if the PIDs had anything to do with the running order of the jobs.
[09:01] <Pritesh> k|oWn it simply hangs and can't do anything from that point
[09:01] <gnewb> rafalk42: apt-get update$$ upgrade then dist?

[09:05] <andyland> I'm trying to install sphinxsearch on a DokuWiki I've created for our IT infrastructure at the office. When running the indexer operation I get "sh: php: not found". I have a fully installed LAMP configuration done via tasksel so I don't understand what the problem is. Any suggestions?
[09:06] <Flynn> jcmarini:  Its like no kernel I ever used.
[09:06] <Xolor> :)
[09:06] <k_sze> !synce
[09:07] <atlef> Flynn, the kernel is the same, just a different desktop environment :-)
[09:07] <paco_> jj
[09:07] <jcmarini> you are way ahead of me-  the kernel is still a bit of a mystery to me... relax and and enjoy... Linux is very robust
[09:07] <wamer> ?
[09:08] <jcmarini> Flynn: ok?
[09:08] <gnewb> andyland: Is that a nanoweb script?

[09:14] <guyvdb_> Abhijit: On my dual monitor button is on left screen bar is on left of right screen
[09:14] <brez> new_kid1: so when I go to network manager, it's empty. I know how to manually add it via terminal, but I don't want to have to do this.. (it's an IPv6 IP)
[09:15] <Abhijit> O.o
[09:15] <Abhijit> guyvdb_, no idea then
[09:15] <evaluate> Hello.
[09:15] <guyvdb_> Anyone using nvidia-settings and dual monitors with unity?
[09:15] <evaluate> pinentry recently stopped allowing paste into it and grabs the keyboard. Is there any way to fix that?
[09:16] <new_kid1> brez: yes so try what I said
[09:16] <Abhijit> which is the standard dvorak type to be selcted ?
[09:16] <Abhijit> which one to select?
[09:17] <brez> new_kid1: eth0 is not displayed in network manager.
[09:18] <new_kid1> brez: Then what is displayed ??? Auto eth0???
[09:18] <Abhijit> any dvorak user here?
[09:18] <brez> new_kid1: nothing. I told you, it's disabled :-)
[09:18] <Abhijit> there are lots of dvorak types? which one to select?
[09:19] <new_kid1> brez: Okay if the VM is running ..shut it down
[09:19] <Viking667> Right. I've been playing a bit with compiz and Unity, now I'm trying to figure something out. How do I change _desktops_?
[09:19] <new_kid1> brez: right click on it goto settings
[09:19] <blackdoggy> 11.04 dual monitor not working
[09:19] <blackdoggy> any ideas?
[09:19] <brez> new_kid1: I may not of been specific. I'm running ubuntu in the virtual box, so therefore it's a bridged NAT connection from my windows box.
[09:19] <Viking667> I can change viewports on the one desktop, and I can throw programs onto other desktops, what I can't seem to do is to change what desktop I'm currently on.
[09:20] <zvacet> Viking667:  ck+lick on desktop on taskbar and yu will see all your desktops selet witch one you want
[09:20] <new_kid1> brez: which vitualization tool are you using ??
[09:21] <ryankask> does anyone know a linux distro with a live CD that ships with a kernel version >= 2.6.38?

[09:21] <Tumphu> does anyone have installed dealextreme DVR card to ubuntu 11.04?
[09:21] <brez> new_kid1: I'm not following? To make it simple, can this be added in /network/interfaces, rather than via the GUI?
[09:21] <digger3> Hi, I've got random freezes of my xserver with ubuntu 10.10 under Virtualbox. Sound keeps playing fine, window content completely freezes EXCEPT when I move my mouse really fast. Any hints as to what could be causing this?
[09:22] <Viking667> zvacet: hm?
[09:22] <zvacet> Viking667:  read http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1742326
[09:22] <Tumphu> I've got huge problems installing my DVR card :/
[09:22] <gaurav_help> how i recover my system system setting
[09:23] <new_kid1> brez: if you dont see a eth0 that mean networking may be disabled. you need to enable it in whatever virtualization tool you are using
[09:23] <Viking667> I'll look that up, just as soon as I can figure out how the @)%(*@% to get my Chrome and Firefox back into THIS desktop
[09:23] <Viking667> by the way, what's ck-lick?
[09:23] <brez> new_kid1: networking is not disabled, I'm irc'n via ssh from the box.
[09:23] <Viking667> And there's no "desktop on taskbar" icon that I can see.
[09:24] <brez> new_kid1: when I 'ifconfig eht0' the IP's are there.
[09:24] <zvacet> Viking667:  typing mistake click is right word
[09:24] <Viking667> where's this "desktop" icon?
[09:25] <gaurav_help> my ubuntu 11.04 graphics is setting so much wired no closing buttons no menu how i recover that
[09:25] <Viking667> hm. That's weird. I now have a blue triangle on my start icon...
[09:25] <zvacet> Viking667: I'm not at ubuntu right now but I'm sure is there because I didn't add it
[09:25] <Viking667> I read about this, but I can't get back to my browser.

[09:33] <CarNagE_123> Hello. Since upgrading to Ubuntu 11.04, the directory/file completion in Konsole does not work anymore as before. When I enter, for example, `mcedit /etc<TAB` it completes to "mcedit /etc " with a space behind "/etc" instead of a slash.
[09:33] <Kostaplenty> Hi there! I've installed apache server. When I try to browse to a file it downloads it instead of viewing it, what can be the problem ?
[09:33] <quackaduck> gaurav: then do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[09:34] <CarNagE_123> That behaviour is very annoying, does anyone know how I can fix it?
[09:34] <gnewb> !backup | gaurav_help
[09:34] <Aginor> Kostaplenty: what type of file is it?
[09:34] <Kostaplenty> php
[09:35] <Aginor> !php | Kostaplenty
[09:35] <Kostaplenty> and when trying to browse to f.ex /phpymadmin it downloads the index file :p
[09:35] <quackaduck> kostaplenty: you have to configure apache with php
[09:35] <Aginor> Kostaplenty: you need to install php to have apache be able to run it for you

[09:37] <CarNagE_123> Hello. Since upgrading to Ubuntu 11.04, the directory/file completion in Konsole does not work anymore as before. When I enter, for example, `sudo mcedit /etc<TAB` it completes to "sudo mcedit /etc " with a space behind "/etc" instead of a slash. Surprisingly, at least to me, the completion works properly if I don't use sudo, so entering `mcedit /etc<TAB>` completes to "mcedit /etc/". That behaviour is very annoying, does anyone
[09:37] <CarNagE_123> know how I can fix it?
[09:37] <Kostaplenty> I have all the installed, both php and apache
[09:37] <ex0a> !vbox | gabor0326
[09:37] <Kostaplenty> and its compiled
[09:37] <gabor0326> onay many thank everybody
[09:37] <quackaduck> kostaplenty: manually configure apache with php
[09:38] <Aginor> Kostaplenty: and have you enabled php as it states in the guide?
[09:39] <securityxxxpert> anybody know how to clone virtual machines in Vbox 2.0.6?  I have tried clonehd, and various other things..none of which seem to work
[09:39] <mikael> do you speak french?
[09:39] <Aginor> securityxxxpert: clonehd allows you to clone a hd, then you can create new vms for the hdclone
[09:41] <securityxxxpert> Aginor:  How on earth do I copy a virtual machine then?  I thought it was cloning
[09:41] <WaR> Hi, I'm having trouble with my wifi. It says driver is installed but i cant see wifi networks
[09:41] <Aginor> securityxxxpert: http://srackham.wordpress.com/cloning-and-copying-virtualbox-virtual-machines/
[09:41] <fredrik_> Some apps (like netbeans) don't work to "keep in launcher" When rebooting they are gone.. How come?
[09:43] <snake_> buondì
[09:44] <securityxxxpert> Aginor:  So if I have any snapshots, I have to discard those first then copy the vdi with clonehd?
[09:44] <Aginor> securityxxxpert: presumably, I've never tried it with snapshots
[09:45] <securityxxxpert> Aginor: i'll try it out and let you know
[09:46] <Kostaplenty> yyy, fixed it!

[10:07] <the_registred> hi
[10:07] <gaurav_help> where the package store in file systen when we download them from source centre
[10:07] <andyland> I can't find my /usr/bin/php nor /usr/bin/php5. No such file or directory error. when i run wheris php5 i get the following results: /etc/php5 /usr/lib/php5 /usr/share/php5. is it the /usr/lib/php5 dir?
[10:08] <the_registred> plz help...i cant connect to my mysql-server remotely.....i have these options on my my.cnf file :   skip-external-locking    ,   bind-address		= <IP_ADDRESS>      what i do wrong??
[10:08] <andyland> the_registred: try parsing 3306 as port number as well
[10:08] <rob_p> abhinav_singh: If your new user doesn't own his own home directory, then that may be why.  Do, "sudo chown -R user:user /home/user" and then you should be able to create whatever directories you need, as that user, within their home directory.
[10:09] <the_registred> andyland: i have port forwarded the port 3306
[10:09] <andyland> the_registred: check ifconfig to make sure you're connecting to the right address
[10:09] <the_registred> andyland: it's the right address
[10:10] <nelsonsmoreira88> I have dualboot (edubuntu10.10 and windows XP) I want now to try Ubuntu 11.04. If I install it in the linux partition, will the dualboot still work? Will i still be able to enter in the windows?
[10:10] <jcmarini> bye

[10:11] <vagvaf> nelsonsmoreira88: yes
[10:11] <the_registred> andyland: no...i 've just installed mysql-server package...and mysql gui utils
[10:11] <llutz> the_registred:" sudo lsof -i :3306"  shows mysql running?

[10:15] <llutz> the_registred: your router has nat-routeback enabled? needs to have to let this work
[10:18] <llutz> the_registred: "NAT-loopback" it is, sry
[10:18] <rob_p> abhinav_singh: welcome
[10:18] <andyland> kali`: ssh user@address -p22 -X11 application_name OR gnome-panel
[10:19] <the_registred> llutz: now i'm connected....thank you very much :)

[10:19] <TeslaTony> I just did an install of 11.04, and would like to turn off the "apps available to download" suggestions. How do I do that?

[10:22] <freakynl> Hi, is /var/log/messages deprecated in 11.04 or something? After upgrading to it (64 bit server from 10.10) /var/log/messages remains empty. Also don't see any config for rsyslogd to log to it, this remains after reinstalling rsyslog
[10:23] <Cube``> ok guys, this is really annoying. since i upgraded to ubuntu 11.04, every time i add the "Governor Plugin" to the panel, it disappears on the next reboot :SSSSS
[10:23] <Cube``> using xfce
[10:25] <securityxxxpert> Aginor: I got it working.  You take all your snapshots (delete them) up to your "current setup" then do a clonehd that way
[10:26] <Viking667> hm. Seems I can't actually do what i want to do, even though I can stick a window onto another desktop, I can't then switch to that desktop...
[10:26] <Viking667> The only thing I can do (at least inside Unity) is to switch viewports/workspaces... which I've found out, aren't desktops.
[10:27] <Viking667> actually, the definition I have for "putting an application onto another workspace" isn't strictly correct...
[10:29] <Viking667> sorry, now I'm dreadfully confused. It seems that the "Desktops" term is only used inside the General settings section of ccsm. I can't see it used anywhere else.
[10:29] <Viking667> so, I'm stuck with MxN viewports onto one desktop
[10:29] <Cube``> ok guys, this is really annoying. since i upgraded to ubuntu 11.04, every time i add the "Governor Plugin" to the panel, it disappears on the next reboot :SSSSS

[10:44] <ikonia> karthick87: you don't, use the gui, that's what it's there for
[10:44] <barf> ikonia: I did cat file.txt | sed "s/^M//g" no effect
[10:44] <barf> I would like to remove newline
[10:45] <llutz> barf: you want "dos2unix"
[10:45] <llutz> !info dos2unix
[10:45] <karthick87> ikonia: Not possible to remove it via terminal?
[10:45] <deffcon> can someone tell me why i can compile openelec.tv not anymore on Ubuntu natty, this is the message i got in my terminal on compiling "**** The following packages were not installed correctly **** glibc-static" referring to /usr/lib/libc.a
[10:45] <dany_>  I have read about virtual hosts . But is it possible to have differtent subdomains point to different ip adresses on the LAN?
[10:45] <ikonia> karthick87: use the gui - it's what it's there for
[10:46] <llutz> barf: using sed:        sed 's/\r//' < dos.txt > unix.txt
[10:46] <ikonia> dany_: yes, that's just dns
[10:46] <Phoenix87> My machine mounts an intel video adapter, but i have xorg-server-video packages from other vendors installed and i don't know why? Is this fine?
[10:46] <m4rtijn> hi all
[10:46] <ikonia> deffcon: your current distro does not have a statlic libc library
[10:46] <ikonia> Phoenix87: it's fine
[10:46] <barf> llutz: This is output from tidy
[10:46] <Phoenix87> ikonia, can i remove them?
[10:46] <barf> -i -xml
[10:46] <llutz> Phoenix87: the free xorg-drivers are always installed
[10:46] <deffcon> **** The following packages were not installed correctly **** glibc-static
[10:46] <Gnea> Phoenix87: mounts it?
[10:47] <ikonia> Phoenix87: just leave it, they won't be taking up that much space
[10:47] <deffcon> anyone ? ( Ubuntu Natty )
[10:47] <ikonia> deffcon: I've told you
[10:47] <dany_> Ikonia > So i can just create a name based virtual host and create a cname DNS entry?
[10:47] <ikonia> deffcon: saying anyone is pointless also
[10:47] <KrisDouglas> Ok, I have a real question now.. It's more mysql than Ubuntu but I'm going to ask. Our old ubuntu server died because of a catastrophic permissions cockup. I followed someone's advice in the channel which was to rip the /var/lib/mysql database to a backup and reinstal.
[10:47] <ikonia> dany_: it's that simple
[10:47] <dany_> WOW thanx :D
[10:48] <KrisDouglas> I have got to the stage where I have loaded them back, but when I start mysql, it is unusually slow and it doesn't seem to work. I can't connect to mysql when it starts.
[10:48] <Phoenix87> ikonia, so they do not conflict, right? 'cause i've been experiencing some video issues lately. I've reported a bug about xorg-server problems with intel chipset
[10:48] <barf> llutz: I tried sed 's/\n//' < dos.txt > unix.txt no go :-(
[10:48] <ikonia> Phoenix87: they are fine
[10:48] <Phoenix87> ikonia, thank you :D
[10:48] <ikonia> KrisDouglas: you should have dumped and imported the databases
[10:48] <KrisDouglas> ikonia, I couldn't.
[10:48] <KrisDouglas> That was the only way I could get what I had.
[10:48] <m4rtijn> i have a small problem: im at a terminal server client.. and i would like to install netbeans 7 -- if I ssh admin@ts and ./netbeans-install.sh I cant install to /usr/share -- message: read only -- am i going at it the wrong way??
[10:49] <mihaibivol> hello, I have upgraded to 11.04 and the booting process stops after checking battery state. I have an nvidia G103M video adapter, i think that can be the problem
[10:49] <ikonia> KrisDouglas: so what's the actual problem
[10:51] <m4rtijn> also, if I do sudo -i and try the install.sh I get the error: rejected, wrong authentication
[10:52] <cvam> math library functions cannot be used with gcc compiler.It shows Undefined reference to
[10:52] <KrisDouglas> ikonia, All the files have been restored, but mysql doesn't seem to be starting properly.
[10:52] <ikonia> "doesn't seem to be starting properly" you need to be more specific
[10:53] <m4rtijn> KrisDouglas: tail -f /var/log/mysql/error.log
[10:53] <freakynl> what package delivers /etc/rsyslog.d/*? Reinstalling rsyslog doesn't return the files
[10:54] <barf> This one adds \r to \n: sed 's/$'"/`echo \\\r`/" I need to remove \n
[10:54] <llutz> freakynl: you'd have to purge that package, then re-install
[10:54] <llutz> barf:       sed 's/\r//'
[10:55] <barf> 0x0a
[10:55] <barf> there is not \r
[10:56] <freakynl> llutz: thx, still nothing going to /var/log/messages tho' (at least, not according to the config), is that normal?
[10:57] <llutz> freakynl: seems to be normal, lots of guys asked about
[10:57] <m4rtijn> ah, admin@ts then sudo ./install.sh worked
[10:57] <m4rtijn> bb
[10:57] <freakynl> llutz: ok thx
[10:57] <barf> sed 's/\n//' still no good
[10:58] <Shogoot> hi people. ive updated to 11.04, from 10.04, but the dash thingy is not showing up when i press "applications" any suggestion to how i can make it work?
[10:59] <barf> I am looking to remove the 0x0a using sed from this text string
[11:00] <phonex01> Hello there
[11:00] <Shogoot> hi people. ive updated to 11.04, from 10.04, but the dash thingy is not showing up when i press "applications" any suggestion to how i can make it work?
[11:00] <llutz> barf: tr -d '\n'
[11:01] <barf> Sweet :-)
[11:02] <phonex01> guys you are all invited for my graduation project defense May 8 18:00
[11:03] <freakynl> phonex01: do you cover travel expenses?
[11:03] <phonex01> it is free
[11:03] <freakynl> phonex01: a free plane to wherever you are? :P
[11:04] <freakynl> I know my math isn't that great, but these things frequently have me stumped: /dev/md4               11T  498G  9.8T   5% /mnt/export
[11:04] <phonex01> i will use broadcast service !
[11:04] <freakynl> 11T, 0.5T in use, leaves 9.8T that's 1.2T less...
[11:05] <llutz> phonex01: take it to #ubuntu-offtopic please
[11:05] <tamer> hello, I setup an adhoc network (WEP) between two Ubuntu machines, but it's slow. Any ideas what could be wrong?
[11:05] <freakynl> tamer: yea, wireless sucks
[11:06] <freakynl> tamer: seriously, if you get 20M*bit* on a 54Mbit wlan, you should praise the lord for being that lucky
[11:06] <jiltdil> channel for open solaris please?
[11:06] <tamer> freakynl, no, it's not the usual slow wireless, it's slower
[11:06] <tamer> freakynl, an adhoc between a Windows and Ubuntu is much faster
[11:06] <ericP> when upgrading to 11.04, i acquired a mac-like task bar and menu motif, which i guess is Unity. because i use mouse focus, i can rarely get all the way to the menu bar without it changing as i pass over another app's window
[11:07] <ericP> pouring through the settings (under the off button?), i've not found a way to hide the task bar or leave menus attached to app windows
[11:07] <jiltdil> channel for open solaris ?
[11:07] <freakynl> tamer: with the same hardware, same location, same distance, no microwave running both times, etc?
[11:08] <llutz> jiltdil: /msg alis list *opensolaris*
[11:08] <tamer> freakynl, yes.
[11:08] <jiltdil> llutz:thanks
[11:08] <ericP> is it easy to switch to some other application manager besides Unity?
[11:08] <freakynl> does it matter if comp a or comp b is the windows part (to determine whether one of the devices might have sub-optimal drivers)?
[11:09] <ouyes>  I get a thinkpad t400 in hands, there is a problem about the light, when you watch a movie in night, there are a few indicating lamp for telling you the status of the laptop, but the lights of the lamp are so strong in the night, it influence the view of the screen when you watch a movie, is there a way to dim the indicating lamps? of course I am running ubuntu
[11:11] <tamer> freakynl, except it's a WEP connection now (because i am not able to get it to work using WPA), it was WPA between the Windows and Ubuntu machines before.
[11:12] <phonex01> tamer use compat-wireless drivers
[11:12] <dany_> does anyone know hot to correctly set the document root for a different LAN  ip adress with a virtualhost? (for a subdomain
[11:14] <phonex01> connect
[11:14] <phonex01> i will go sleeeeeeeeeeeeeping

[11:19] <JoshuaL> venkatesh, what happens if you login and type startx ?
[11:19] <Guest63335> how to remove openoffice
[11:19] <llutz> oops left, sry dancek not for you
[11:19] <regana> see you all....
[11:20] <red> guest63335: type "sudo apt-get remove openoffice.org" in console and then hit TAB
[11:20] <venkatesh> red: when i give sudo startx it giving a error " error while loading shared libraries libdbus-1"
[11:20] <venkatesh> loshual: when i give sudo startx it giving a error " error while loading shared libraries libdbus-1"
[11:20] <red> try dpkg-reconfigure libdbus-1
[11:21] <JoshuaL> btw 8.04 for the desktop has almost reach the end of life cycle
[11:22] <venkatesh> red:its giving "libdus-1 is not installed"
[11:22] <venkatesh> joshual : but i have my project data in it can u help me to fix it....please
[11:23] <vagvaf> venkatesh: you can boot from a live cd and retrieve your data
[11:23] <venkatesh> vagvaf: can u please tell how can i do that
[11:24] <zatan> Hi, is there anyway from terminal to change that default shell gnome-classic ?
[11:24] <venkatesh> vagvaf : can i install gdm package from live cd
[11:24] <m_fulder> hello
[11:24] <barbadillo> hi all, can I just update from 10.04 to 11.04 or I have to go through 10.10?
[11:25] <red> venkatesh: i would start from trying to install it in that case
[11:25] <vagvaf> venkatesh:  do u have an ubuntu live cd ? if yes, then boot from it, choose "try ubuntu" instead of install and then open your hardrive and copy/paste your data on a usb stick or at another location
[11:25] <m_fulder> while I write sendmail -t in my terminal I got the error message: sendmail: fatal: open /etc/postfix/main.cf: No such file or directory  how do I solve this? what should I see when just typing in sendmail??
[11:26] <venkatesh> vagvaf : can i install gdm package from live cd
[11:26] <llutz> m_fulder: sudo dpkg-reconfigure postfix
[11:26] <SmokeyD> hey everyone. I have logged in through ssh on my ubuntu machine at work. I installed tightvncserver on it, and now want to start it. but I can't start a server listening om port 5901 as normal user, but also don't want to start tightvncserver as root because I want to work on my own account
[11:26] <venkatesh> red : can u please tell me how to install it
[11:26] <SmokeyD> any clues how to solve this?
[11:26] <llutz> m_fulder: or if you just need a smtp-server to send some mails, use msmtp/ssmtp or nullmailer
[11:26] <vagvaf> venkatesh: you probably can, but i'm not sure how are you going to do it. i wield the floor to red :)
[11:27] <Jasonn> SmokeyD: sudo STARTNAMEHERE
[11:27] <venkatesh> red: can i install gdm package from live cd
[11:27] <SmokeyD> Jasonn: no that won't work. With sudo tightvncserver wants the config files to be owned by the same user that runs the vncserver
[11:28] <Jasonn> SmokeyD: Start it as root, and then log into your account
[11:28] <m_fulder> llutz, Im also hosting a webserver on this machine and while trying to send mail with PHP it fails ... so I thought that was because of sendmail failing ... I still need to fix sendmail => postfix to get it working properly ? Or can I still use smtp ?
[11:28] <red> venkatesh: you could try "sudo apt-get install libdbus" (and then hit TAB a few times to see if there is anything by the name avaialable)
[11:29] <barbadillo> m_fulder, you have to install postfix
[11:29] <llutz> m_fulder: better use a simple smtp-mailer like those above than a "monster" like postfix
[11:29] <venkatesh> red : no there is no names available
[11:29] <smotko__> Hello
[11:29] <red> can't help you more then, i'm sorry
[11:29] <llutz> m_fulder: postfix is fine but overkill for just sending some mails
[11:29] <Jasonn> SmokeyD: Or you can try giving yourself temp root access
[11:29] <bbox> sub
[11:29] <bbox> hi
[11:29] <mmiliauskas> hi
[11:30] <evenflow> hello, im using ubuntu 10.10 and am unable to access single user mode from grub
[11:30] <bbox> anyone here
[11:30] <m_fulder> barbadillo, llutz : ah then I get it ... but will still the mail() function be able to use another oackage then postfix? (maybe if I specify it in the php.ini?)
[11:30] <venkatesh> red: when i try apt-get install libdbus* is giving " Err could not resolve archive.ubuntu.com"
[11:30] <SmokeyD> Jasonn, when I logout in vnc, I don't get a loginscreen anymore, so starting as root and then logging out doesn't work
[11:30] <llutz> m_fulder: it should be able to use any installed mta
[11:30] <Jasonn> SmokeyD: Give your useraccount root privelages.
[11:31] <barbadillo> m_fulder, you can have only one mta on your system
[11:31] <Jasonn> SmokeyD: sudo adduser YOURUSERNAME root
[11:31] <venkatesh> red: when i try apt-get install libdbus* is giving " Err could not resolve archive.ubuntu.com"
[11:31] <m_fulder> ah only one :O
[11:31] <red> venkatesh: perhaps your internet connection is inactive
[11:31] <mmiliauskas> I have some strange problem, when I try to run php script in the background "php script.php &", script is stopped automatically, if I neglect ampersand then everything works but not in the background
[11:31] <red> can you "ping archive.ubuntu.com"
[11:31] <m_fulder> well will try some out and check how they works out thanks barbadillo and llutz
[11:31] <barbadillo> m_fulder, what's the problem with postfix?
[11:31] <SmokeyD> Jasonn, how can I give my account privileges to start a program listening on port 590x?
[11:31] <venkatesh> red ...ya its pinging...
[11:31] <m_fulder> barbadillo, dunno nothing atm Im installing it :P
[11:31] <devish> & this is fo BG only
[11:31] <red> odd that apt-get cannot resolve the name in that case
[11:31] <Jasonn> SmokeyD: give the account root privelages, but make sure the pass ou have is secure
[11:32] <liujixin> 大家好
[11:32] <liujixin> 谁在
[11:32] <mmiliauskas> devish, what do you mean?
[11:32] <Jasonn> !cn | liujixin
[11:32] <liujixin> 看不懂
[11:32] <SmokeyD> Jasonn: how do I give an account root privileges. There is only one root account. I can add the account to several other groups, but which one do I need to add my account to then?
[11:33] <liujixin> 我不会认识英文呢的呢
[11:33] <Jasonn> SmokeyD: Ok, I have another idea, what are you looking to edit on your account? You can do it all from the root account too!
[11:33] <devish> mmiliauskas: when u specify & then that process runs in backgroud only
[11:33] <Jasonn> !cn | liujixin
[11:33] <mmiliauskas> well yeah
[11:33] <mmiliauskas> but why is it instantly stopped then

[11:34] <FreeHCK> hi2all
[11:34] <SmokeyD> Jasonn, I am just trying to use some graphical programs on my computer at work. That is why I need vnc. Just a remote desktop of my desktop at work.
[11:34] <evenflow> hey, when i add "single" or "1' to the grub linux directive i am unable to reach cli, does anyone know how can i troubleshoot this?

[11:34] <saimanoj> i want to create another user account for my sis. But it is unable to mount drives from that account
[11:34] <Jasonn> SmokeyD: Try another VNC program, because I have never hadthis issue before
[11:35] <devish> mmiliauskas: might be thats all it can do
[11:35] <Jasonn> liujixin: liujixin: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道：打字 /join #ubuntu-cn 或者 打字 /join #ubuntu-tw  或者 打字 /join #ubuntu-hk
[11:35] <venkatesh> red: libdbus is installed what should i do next
[11:35] <saimanoj> i too want to create another user account for my sis. But it is unable to mount drives from that account
[11:35] <devish> mmiliauskas: you can use >>file.txt to get the required info
[11:35] <Jasonn> saimanoj: give it sudo privelages
[11:35] <SmokeyD> Jasonn: you mean to say you have always been able to launch programs on privileged ports as a normal user?
[11:35] <red> venkatesh: try "sudo startx" again
[11:36] <saimanoj> how to give those privelages
[11:36] <Jasonn> SmokeyD: No, I am saying that normal vnc programs dont require root to run
[11:36] <Jasonn> saimanoj: sudo adduser USERNAMEOFYOURSISTER sudo
[11:36] <sharique> Hi, i am trying to install gnome3 on Natty using ppa. But stuck on this: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net natty Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY F1773AF13B1510FD...... Can anyone help me??
[11:37] <saimanoj> jasson:thank you jasonn
[11:37] <Jasonn> saimanoj:  :D
[11:37] <jiltdil> which is better gnome3 or unity?
[11:37] <SmokeyD> Jasonn: any program listening on a priviliged port needs root privileges. All the services in /etc/init.d/ also need to be started with sudo.
[11:37] <llutz> saimanoj: sudo adduser "user" admin                   not sudo
[11:37] <sharique> unity is crashing
[11:37] <saimanoj> any other way instead of making that user super user

[11:38] <Jasonn> SmokeyD: Yeah, I understand that... How about this.. Make it use a different port
[11:38] <mendel_> hi all, how do I run a certain app as root, but without using sudo (so give that program the ability to run as root)
[11:38] <jiltdil> llutz:sudo adduser "user" admin   why we use admin here is we are adding the user to admin group
[11:38] <mendel_> read about  a pkg for that, but can't find it

[11:43] <saimanoj> becoz i need to know it for contributing in code...
[11:43] <devish> saimanoj: google it buddy .....its very easy
[11:44] <llutz> m_fulder: sudo dpkg-reconfigure postfix                 configure to use a smarthost
[11:44] <saimanoj> ok, thanks.
[11:44] <Jasonn> !google | devish
[11:44] <devish> !lol
[11:46] <devish> Jasonn: but I think google could explain this better then any one here
[11:46] <barbadillo> m_fulder, i can't understand, if the recipient is outside, the mail is sent outside
[11:46] <Viking667> Another uh, tricky thing... each time I try starting Ubuntu One, it brings up this window saying "An internet connection is required to join or sign into Ubuntu One", and none of the other links in the window can be clicked on.
[11:46] <fooztha> Hi, i am just getting a black screen saying "Read Error" after a fresh install of ubuntu 10.10 and 11.04. What can be causing this? I have run a diagnostics on all of the hardware in the server.
[11:46] <devish> saimanoj: if oyu further have some problem then oyu are welcome
[11:47] <saimanoj> okay, thankyou.
[11:47] <saimanoj> I will try on some software and will come back later

[11:50] <serif> i have a problem with gdebi package installer
[11:51] <serif> i cant install debian packages
[11:51] <courpse> using apt, trying to install gnome, it keeps saying needs X but its not going to be installed.
[11:51] <courpse> Is there a way to force dependency installs?
[11:52] <serif> any body help me pls
[11:52] <ThinkT510> serif: have you checked the ubuntu repos to see if your package is there first?
[11:53] <serif> yes let me explain
[11:53] <courpse> sorry, X is a bad variable, it needs dependency's, but is not going to be installed.
[11:53] <serif> i installed gdebi
[11:53] <ThinkT510> !enter | serif
[11:53] <serif> when deb package is saved  i can install with gdebi
[11:54] <mrkrrtft> Hi all.  I've had a problem getting wireless to work in 11.04 since RC1.  I've searched and read bug reports on Launchpad, but none of them fix my issue.  I can connect just fine to my access point in 10.10.  The error is wifi keeps cycling and then ending.  Logs stat that association took too long and then it deactivates the device and never connects.  Any ideas?
[11:55] <serif> but when i getting a deb file directly from internet without saving it cant load installation
[11:55] <Viking667> mrkrrtft: heh. And I have yet another wireless problem - I can't set my computer up as an AP...
[11:55] <ThinkT510> serif: what is the package you are trying to install and from where are you getting it?
[11:55] <serif> eg from getdeb site
[11:55] <mrkrrtft> serif: you need to save it before you install it.  Otherwise the temp file that is created when "running from the internet" doesn't work correctly.
[11:56] <wodim> how does one disable a service at startup?
[11:56] <connor__> my battery metre is not showing
[11:56] <wodim> i'd use rcconf in debian, but i have no network access here
[11:56] <mrkrrtft> Viking667: heh yep, a different issue entirely.  I may have to stay on 10.10 for a while yet until I can get this figured out.
[11:56] <serif> i tried thro fx4 apps but failed
[11:57] <m_fulder> barbadillo, sry was fixing some coffee :P .. hm I have configured postfix as smarthost now .. and when I do mail("myMail", "subject", "message"); it returns true but I still don't get any mail in my inbox :S
[11:57] <connor__> does anyone know how to install utorrent
[11:57] <serif> i cannot open with gdebi installer on direct installation from net
[11:57] <Glycan> Can you make a liveCD out of GRUB?
[11:58] <LjL> connor__: install wine first ("sudo apt-get install wine"), then just download it and click on its icon
[11:58] <ThinkT510> serif: like mrkrrtft said, you have to save it then install
[11:58] <mrkrrtft> connor__: isn't utorrent a Windows client?  For Ubuntu try Deluge.  It seems to be the best one I can find.
[11:58] <connor__> can you help me ubuntu 11.04 is a bit slow on my acer aspire one
[11:58] <serif> u know getdeb site that u cant save deb file it suggests direct auto install
[11:58] <mrkrrtft> Any ideas folks?  .......  Hi all.  I've had a problem getting wireless to work in 11.04 since RC1.  I've searched and read bug reports on Launchpad, but none of them fix my issue.  I can connect just fine to my access point in 10.10.  The error is wifi keeps cycling and then ending.  Logs stat that association took too long and then it deactivates the device and never connects.  Any ideas?
[11:58] <Viking667> wodim: I often wander into /etc/init and find the service to disable, rename the .conf file so it's something like myservice.conf.disabled
[11:59] <wodim> don't think that's a good idea
[11:59] <Viking667> Anyhow, I need to bepart...
[11:59] <connor__> can somebody help me speed up my system
[11:59] <jimrew> hi
[11:59] <serif> thinkT510?
[11:59] <Viking667> Well, it's one of the ways to do that job. If you want the "official" way to do it, I don't know what that is (yet) though I'm itching to find out.
[12:00] <venkatesh> devish : can i install gdm packge to my system using a live cd
[12:00] <ThinkT510> serif: you still haven't told me what exactly you are trying to install
[12:00] <jimrew> hi
[12:00] <mrkrrtft> serif: have you followed the instructions on the getdeb site to install the getdeb files?
[12:00] <serif> u know getdeb site that u cant save deb file it suggests direct auto install
[12:00] <jimrew> hi
[12:00] <jimrew> hi
[12:00] <serif> and gedbi cant load installation
[12:00] <jimrew> hi

[12:00] <jimrew> yeah
[12:00] <connor__> does anyone know how to get the cube affect in linux working
[12:01] <Viking667> wodim: by the way, have you walked through the man page for "upstart(8)" yet?
[12:01] <Viking667> connor__: which cube?
[12:01] <jimrew> yes think
[12:01] <fooztha> What does "Read Error" indicate at boot?
[12:01] <connor__> the workspace switcher cube that ive heard about
[12:01] <ThinkT510> jimrew: it's a big channel, tell us your problem and somebody may help you
[12:01] <Viking667> That may be a CCSM module (compiz Configuration settings manager, I think it means)
[12:01] <jimrew> will ubuntu continu to have gnome 2 to download???
[12:02] <Viking667> I've just been playing with that tonight actually.
[12:02] <connor__> ok ill install compiz
[12:02] <Viking667> jimrew: I hope so...
[12:02] <DarsVaeda> hi, how do i give a partition a permanent mount point?
[12:02] <Fahmida> Hi, I have sound problem with Ubuntu 11.04. I cannot hear no sound at all. Though I can hear that in Windows. Please help.
[12:02] <jimrew> well will it?
[12:02] <Viking667> I'm getting a little tired of Unity... and I've only run it for two days
[12:02] <venkatesh> devish : can i install gdm packge to my system using a live cd
[12:02] <Viking667> jimrew: all I can say is: check what's in your repositories...
[12:02] <karthick87> Is there any alternative to ping tester software ?
[12:03] <jimrew> i cant use gnome 3 i dont like it
[12:03] <Viking667> can't use???
[12:03] <plouffe> what could happen if you unplug an external USB disk while it is still mounted?
[12:03] <jimrew> i like gnome 2
[12:03] <mrkrrtft> karthick87: regular "ping" doesn't work?
[12:03] <Viking667> heh.  But i need time with the ping report..
[12:03] <connor__> so im installing compiz what do i do after that
[12:03] <ThinkT510> jimrew: gnome 2 won't be around forever, i like xfce
[12:04] <mrkrrtft> karthick87: you mean date/time stamp?
[12:04] <karthick87> mrkrrtft: Yes
[12:04] <jimrew> how about a commuity porject?
[12:04] <ajdonnison> plouffe, you could end up with data not written to the drive, and an inconsistent filesystem.  You may need to run fsck on in the next time you mount it.
[12:04] <connor__> what do i do after i install compiz
[12:05] <plouffe> ajdonnison, could any of this occur if I didn't write anything to the disk since mount?
[12:05] <jimrew> why is ubuntu puting gnome 3 in with unity?
[12:05] <devish`> venkatesh: that depends whether your cd has that package or not
[12:05] <Glycan> Sorry, I missed my answer: Can I make a live usb out of grub?
[12:05] <ajdonnison> plouffe, there is always a possibility, although in practice it is unlikely.
[12:05] <ThinkT510> jimrew: i'm sure if there is enough interest there may be a community project to continue gnome 2 (like trinity for kde3), but this is getting off-topic
[12:05] <mrkrrtft> brb
[12:05] <plouffe> ajdonnison, thanks
[12:05] <devish`> if it has then then you can
[12:05] <connor__> how do you install unity web player on ubuntu
[12:05] <fooztha> What does "Read Error" indicate at boot?
[12:06] <jimrew> oh sory dude i just like gnome 2
[12:06] <ajdonnison> plouffe, it depends on the filesystem type of the drive, though.
[12:06] <xbmcuser> help anyone? i want to access tvheadends webGUI. I can access it from the lan, but don't know how to get in using my IP
[12:06] <Viking667> I'd have to look at Gnome 3 and evaluate that separately from Unity. Frankly I'm not a fan of Unity, but hey. I haven't run it for a full month, so I'm hardly qualified to really comment.
[12:06] <Glycan> (The firmware on the box I'm trying to fix points to a broken bootstraper, e.g. the half-deleted windwos one)
[12:06] <Glycan> Well?
[12:06] <plouffe> ajdonnison, so fat or ntfs drives have that problem?
[12:06] <jimrew> i like unity to but gnome 2 is better
[12:06] <jimrew> and KDe
[12:07] <mrkrrtft> for the ping with a time stamp here is a script someone ran. don't know if it will work though.  ......    http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1212848
[12:07]  * Viking667 waves goodnight
[12:07] <connor__> this is a ubuntu server not gnome server
[12:07] <Fahmida> Okay, I will ask again. I have sound problem with Ubuntu 11.04. I cannot hear no sound at all. Though I can hear that in Windows. Please help.
[12:07] <jimrew> alsamixer
[12:07] <jimrew> go to alsamixer
[12:08] <connor__> this place isnt any help
[12:08] <ajdonnison> plouffe, not sure about that.  Unix file systems tend to mark the filesystem as dirty on mount so you need to clear that flag before it will mount cleanly again.
[12:08] <andyland> how do I close a session when using smbclient? using it for a backup job over to a 2k3 smb server but it seems to be listening all the time which makes it not possible to delete files and folders
[12:08] <Glycan> Guys!
[12:09] <Glycan> Hepl me out here!
[12:09] <connor__> can somebody help me speed up my operating system ubuntu 11.04
[12:09] <Glycan> I/my friend had Windows vista on a toshiba laptop. The screen broke, I took it from him, hooked it up to another screen, put U on it (11.04), the computer was very cluttered so I only put the gb partition, then when space became very tight I tryed cleaning the windows, deleted windows (didn't get my space back- How do you change partition borders?), then a while later when I rebooted, it tryed
[12:09] <Glycan> to poitn to windows (normally boot points to windows, and windows asks you what you want, and you go to ubuntu from there.), but most of windows wosn't there, so I can't get to U. A live CD I made only shows test console, and doesn't even let past the cd, I think. "BusyBox v1.17.1, build in shell (ash). How do I get to U?
[12:09] <Glycan> Correction: How do I get to GRUB? Can I make a live USB?
[12:10] <Glycan> (For th e 3rd time today, and the 3rd day I'm asking too, and I still havn't recived much help/
[12:10] <mouzil> hello
[12:10] <connor__> what time is it
[12:10] <andyland> peanutbutter jelly time
[12:10] <connor__> no
[12:10] <andyland> :D
[12:11] <connor__> that is not a time besides im just here to help
[12:11] <mrkrrtft> Glycan: you can try using GParted.  download the iso, burn it and boot from it.  It will resize partitions for you.  http://gparted.sourceforge.net/
[12:12] <Glycan> What do partition shave to do with it?
[12:12] <connor__> that will probably work
[12:12] <hw> hey, I have a U 10.04.2 box that is kicking my butt...
[12:12] <jimrew> why is ubuntu puting gnome3 in with unity???
[12:12] <kali`> what is gnome3 with unity
[12:12] <Glycan> I mean, sure I need to resize partitions, too, but that's not important right now..
[12:12] <botcity> Glycan, there is also #grub  channel
[12:12] <kali`> i'm on 10.10 & 10.04's
[12:12] <connor__> i need to get the compiz cube working please help
[12:12] <Glycan> Noted.
[12:12] <mouzil> do you know which ppa repository is for indicator-weather?
[12:12] <hw> I log in, it says I have 26 packages and 17 security updates, but apt-get update, apt-get upgrade dont show any, and I am logged in as root
[12:13] <jimrew> tha will put in with unity in an update but why?
[12:13] <hw> trying to update apache/mysql to the latest, the version on there is not PCI compliant
[12:13] <ThinkT510> hw: you shouldn't log in as root

[12:14] <kali`> hw, i have the same issue
[12:14] <kali`> what is going on?
[12:14] <ThinkT510> hw: there is a #ubuntu-server channel, maybe that will be more help
[12:14] <Glycan> botcity, can _you_ help me? Grub is slightly dead.
[12:14] <kali`> glycan, you'll have to wait a while
[12:14] <hw> Think: thanks didnt know that
[12:15] <Glycan> Oh, no, nothing, I just have this problem that I've been asking for 3 days, and no-one has helped me much so far.
[12:15] <ThinkT510> hw: np
[12:15] <Glycan> I have been, for three days...
[12:15] <m_fulder> barbadillo, you still here? :P
[12:15] <kali`> thinkt510, it happens on the desktop distro as well
[12:15] <ThinkT510> Glycan: it sounds like you are not familiar with partitioning
[12:15] <mouzil> adamJ: then I have to type: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:weather-indicator-team ??
[12:16] <botcity> Glycan, you say you have deleted windows! then i would use a live disk to make the free space a ext3 partition. is a clean install out of the question?
[12:16] <ThinkT510> kali`: what does?
[12:16] <adamJ> mouzil:that should be right
[12:16] <Fahmida> Ah solved it. Thanks everyone. :D
[12:16] <kali`> the problem hw  is experiencing, thinkt510
[12:16] <mouzil> adamJ: thank you, I'll try that
[12:16] <ThinkT510> kali`: oh
[12:16] <Glycan> ThinkT510: I am not.
[12:17] <Glycan> Yes, clean install is indeed out of the question- There are some slightly important stuff there.
[12:17] <connor__> help the applications on my sidebar just disapeared ubuntu11.04
[12:17] <ThinkT510> Glycan: from your description above it sounds as if you deleted the windows partition for space and now you can access windows and wonder why
[12:18] <ThinkT510> Glycan: sorry if i misunderstand what you wrote
[12:18] <connor__> applications on my side bar disapeered
[12:18] <ThinkT510> Glycan: *can't
[12:18] <Glycan> No- deleded /host/Windows/*.*- evrything else is there- program files, kernel (presumably) and so on.
[12:19] <LeeDrOiD-DHD> guys, any news/solutions for the blank screen issue on 11.04, acer aspire one aoa150, managet to boot using 2.6.38-8
[12:19] <Glycan> Misforntune upon me- as soon I am close to geting help, I must go. An email I will recive stuff from is<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[12:19] <Glycan> But I am still here for ten minutes.
[12:20] <botcity> Glycan, will it boot ?
[12:20] <Glycan> Er, ThinkT510?
[12:20] <Glycan> Will whom boot?
[12:20] <ThinkT510> Glycan: yes?
[12:20] <mrkrrtft> Glycan: so you did a dual install (side-by-side Windows and Ubuntu) and then decided to delete the Windows directory files?
[12:20] <Glycan> Yes,
[12:20] <Glycan> Exactly.
[12:21] <Pumpkin-> "(!$&!*"&$!, so grub2 has a 1.x version number. That makes SO much sense. I'm correct though yeah ?
[12:21] <kali`> and now it's not booting linux?
[12:21] <Glycan> As far as I understand, I need to put a bootloader that works on a liveCD.
[12:21] <Glycan> BEfore it booted window's bootloader, first thing.
[12:21] <botcity> Glycan, and extend the linux distro to fill the empty space ?
[12:21] <Glycan> ?
[12:21] <Glycan> botcity, what do you mean?
[12:22] <mrkrrtft> Glycan: let's step back one step.  What is the ultimate goal you are trying to reach?
[12:22] <jinppk> hey peeps, im on 11.04 and compiz is loseing it... its up to 67
[12:22] <Glycan> From window's bootloader, I could load grub, and then U. I'm trying to get to U, and make it so that I don't get this again.
[12:22] <jinppk> hey peeps, im on 11.04 and compiz is loseing it... its up to 67% memory useage and on idle at least 10% cpu, i have 4gig ram and a Q6600 cpu
[12:22] <kali`> you upgraded too soon jinppk ;)
[12:22] <jinppk> obviously
[12:22] <jinppk> ...
[12:23] <jinppk> is this a known bug?
[12:23] <Glycan> So I assume that I should first put GRUB on a liveusb/cd, to get acces, and then somehow change what the firmware points to.
[12:23] <mrkrrtft> Glycan: So right now the Windows bootloader isn't working?
[12:23] <Glycan> Yes.
[12:23] <mrkrrtft> Glycan: hold on a sec.
[12:23] <Glycan> Ditto windows, obv.

[12:25] <mrkrrtft> Glycan: I knew I saw this page somewhere before.  Here is an Ubuntu wiki page that shows you how to recover Grub.  You do need an Ubuntu Live CD.  ..............    https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[12:25] <sss314> How do I add a directory to the left menu of Natty Ubuntu?
[12:25] <mrkrrtft> Glycan: I think that will help.
[12:25] <Glycan> mrkrrtft, botcity, ThinkT510, et all, I have to go in five minuets. Please email me about what I Should do at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[12:25] <Glycan> Oh.
[12:25] <jcmarini> later
[12:25] <mrkrrtft> Glycan: save that URL and it should help you out.
[12:25] <Glycan> I have a live cd of ubuntu- it doesn't work.
[12:26] <mrkrrtft> Glycan: Unfortunately that is a requirement for what you need done.  You *will* need an Ubuntu Live CD.
[12:27] <mrkrrtft> Glycan: maybe download a new ISO, do an MD5 check on it, before you burn it, to make sure it downloaded correctly.
[12:27] <Glycan> Okay..
[12:27] <Glycan> What's a good ISO burner for windows?
[12:27] <mrkrrtft> Glycan: what version of Windows do you have?
[12:27] <botcity> Glycan, and burn at the slowest speed.

[12:28] <DogEars> Hi, I installed Virtualbox-ose instead of Virtualbox4.0 what is the difference?
[12:29] <tramm> Please, tell me how do Ubuntu people call the greeting screen of Live CD which gives choices to "Try Ubuntu" or "Install Ubuntu"? Maybe you can even point me out where the background image of this greeting screen is defined? Thanks in advance!
[12:29] <sockbanana> is this the right channel for noobs
[12:29] <sss314> How do I a directory shortcut to the left menu bar of Unity?
[12:29] <Guest1884> tramm, do you mean maybe "gdm" ... Gnome Desktop Manager?
[12:30] <Glycan> WinXP
[12:30] <Glycan> I did.
[12:30] <ThinkT510> sockbanana: this is ubuntu support, need any help?
[12:30] <DogEars> I've been a noob for 6 years
[12:30] <LeeDrOiD-DHD> bump..
[12:30] <Guest1884> tramm, sorry it's Display not Desktop :)
[12:30] <S2D0> Any idea why gedit doesn't have the same gtk look as my other applications? It's got the raw one.
[12:30] <mrkrrtft> Glycan: for free software I have had good luck with ISO Recorder.  ...................             http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm
[12:31] <mrkrrtft> Glycan: good luck.  Make sure to back up your data before you try anything though.
[12:31] <adit> ThinkT510 : metacity keybindings alternative for Unity plz
[12:31] <Guest1884> S2D0, it has been compiled with different configuration directories? and cannot find your GTK config?? just a guess...
[12:31] <tramm> Guest1884: Is it the same screen for Login menu and the "Install/try Ubuntu" choices? It could be, I'll check it out, thanks!
[12:31] <ThinkT510> adit: i don't use unity or metacity so i can't help sorry, i'm more of an xfce guy
[12:32] <Guest1884> tramm, i'm not sure ... if that's before Linux is booting, it could be GRUB .. after your Ubuntu boots, the Login presented is GDM
[12:33] <adit> ThinkT510 do you use any program for keybindings ?
[12:33] <botcity> adit, why do you need an alterantive ?
[12:33] <sockbanana> I just installed ubuntu on a usb (first) time using any king of linux system (loving it). I have the most basic question, may you could refer me to a faq. How do I instal packages? sorry

[12:45] <morning> Having trouble with what should be an ordinary task: using a standard USB memory stick. Ubuntu at first saw it as an "8GB" file system & listed the content with wild-looking filenames. I put the stick in a Windows machine, which then reported it as corrupt. I reformatted it there. Now Ubuntu doesn't see it. I've had trouble with Ubuntu & USB sticks before. For me, at least, it doesn't at all "just work." What to do? (The version is Natty
[12:45] <morning> .)
[12:45] <coachj> bazhang_  radon 7500 this site list it as supported if i am reading it right
[12:45] <bazhang_> coachj, check system administartion additional drivers
[12:45] <bazhang_> err administration
[12:46] <quassel_> bazhang_: ok, im puling from lp, that was the old source
[12:46] <coachj> bazhang_ it says no prop. drivers are in use on this system or something similar

[12:49] <ThinkT510> quassel_: sudo apt-get install chromium_browser
[12:49] <phungvantu_> How to/
[12:49] <Dr_Willis> phungvantu_:  theres tips/tweak sites that give a lot of info on that area. In short. install 'ccsm' and the Unity pklugin has the settings for that . :)
[12:49] <Dr_Willis> !ccsm
[12:49] <ThinkT510> quassel_: sudo apt-get install chromium-browser

[13:06] <morning> I'm having trouble with what should be an ordinary task: using a standard USB stick to transfer files back and forth between Ubuntu & Windows. The stick has been "known good," but today Ubuntu saw it only as an "8mb file system," listed its contents with wild filenames, & then sometimes didn't see it at all. I put it in a Windows machine, which reported it as corrupt. I reformatted it there, and now Ubuntu doesn't see it at all. I've had
[13:06] <morning>  problems on Ubuntu with USB sticks before. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Something I need to know?
[13:06] <ThinkT510> vamsi: i think a few people have problems with nvidia and require the nomodeset option
[13:06] <celthunder> astro_: hmm wierd issue
[13:06] <vamsi> ya
[13:07] <coachj> trying again_I need support to get 3d have a RV200 QW Radon 7500 card, please
[13:07] <vamsi> I used to select thta option and run it
[13:07] <vamsi> How to overcome that issue
[13:07] <celthunder> morning: do you have ntfs-3g installed?
[13:07] <Flippo_> hi ! is there a command to activate "shift" ? in order to avoid to push the buttons
[13:07] <morning> Celthunder: Not sure. Will check.
[13:07] <ThinkT510> vamsi: you'll likely want to add that option to your boot parameters
[13:08] <yuan> There comes some trouble
[13:08] <DJones> morning: How big are the files you need to transfer? If they're small files, maybe dropbox would be an alternative
[13:08] <vamsi> I dont want to . i want to run it normally
[13:08] <optraz> how do i cut a portion of the video?
[13:08] <vamsi> How to make run normally
[13:08] <yuan> did you mount it?
[13:09] <astro_> celthunder, test
[13:09] <morning> Celthunder: Yes, I have ntfs-3g installed. But in any case: I deliberately formatted the stick as FAT-32.
[13:09] <celthunder> astro_: there you go
[13:09] <DogWater> Is there a kickstart generator for Ubuntu or does anyone have an example of an Ubuntu desktop system kickstart?
[13:09] <ThinkT510> vamsi: not sure sorry, it is likely an issue with the nvidia driver and ubuntu can fix it because its proprietry
[13:09] <ThinkT510> cant*
[13:09] <celthunder> morning: do you have uatofs installed and set up properly?
[13:09] <morning> Celthunder: will check.
[13:09] <astro_> celthunder, kool, yeah so spamming the shift keys is like the only way to get the login manger to appear
[13:09] <vamsi> How to fix the issue permanently
[13:10] <celthunder> vamsi: add nomodeset to grub.cfg
[13:10] <astro_> celthunder, but i can get to the login screen everytime on the older kernel version but i can login
[13:10] <vamsi> How to add that ?
[13:10] <morning> Celthunder: Uatofs? Don't know what it is & don't see it in the repos.
[13:10] <vamsi> when i used 11.04 i didnt find the new features
[13:11] <celthunder> morning: autofs sorry typo
[13:11] <morning> Celthunder: Thanks. Checking. . .
[13:11] <yuan> 11.04 is a beta one
[13:11] <celthunder> astro_: did you try a different login manager like slim/kdm? make sure it's gdm that's the issue?
[13:12] <rkvirani> exit
[13:12] <astro_> celthunder, how would i do that? is it just install from the software center?
[13:12] <morning> Celthunder: No, not installed. Repo says, "This transitional package helps users to transition from the autofs package to
[13:12] <morning> the autofs5 package. Once this package and its dependencies are installed you can safely remove it." (I don't have autofs5 installed either.)
[13:12] <astro_> celthunder, sorry mate im a bit of a nub.
[13:13] <celthunder> astro_: yeah it should be in the repo's
[13:13] <vamsi> How to add nomodeset to grub.cfg ?
[13:14] <celthunder> morning: ok all it really does is monitor for devices and automounts them according to settings you specify and unmounts them automatically
[13:14] <morning> Celthunder: So then I should give it a try?
[13:14] <celthunder> vamsi: on your install? from the livecd mount your /boot partition in /tmp somewhere and then vi /tmp/a/boot/grub.cfg find the line and add it
[13:15] <astro_> celthunder, and to clarify thats the correct spelling of the application? also how do i make slim/kdm the default login service?
[13:15] <Dr_Willis> vamsi:  edit your /etc/default/grub is how i do it.
[13:15] <vamsi> when i used 11.04 i didnt find the new features
[13:15] <Pici> vamsi: If you're using grub2 (the default) modify /etc/default/grub , specificly GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT, then follow the instructions at the top of that file.
[13:15] <celthunder> morning: it's what i use, have had no problems with usb
[13:15] <mah454> where is youtube video cache in ubuntu-11.04 ? (in 10.10 is /tmp)
[13:15] <morning> Celthunder: Thanks. Will try.
[13:15] <kali`> do i need to install packages to get iptables with nat support?
[13:15] <kali`> it's been a while since i configured nat on my other server
[13:15] <celthunder> astro_: slim/kdm are two different programs, kdm is for kde slim is more general both work with any DE though.  and yes both are spelt right
[13:16] <kali`> i thought iptables could do it on its own
[13:16] <Pici> dmart: You're joining and quitting a lot, we'd appreciate if you parted the ubuntu channels you're in while you fix whatever you're doing, as you're creating a lot of noise.
[13:16] <kali`> but now i'm not so sure
[13:16] <celthunder> kali`: it should be able to on its own...
[13:16] <wuxu69> 这里有说chinese的吗？
[13:16] <Pici> !zh | wuxu69
[13:17] <kali`> yeah zhungly
[13:17] <kali`> i must be doing something wrong!
[13:17] <tramm> Guest1884: Thanks, you were right, this was gdm background!
[13:17] <mah454> where is youtube video cache in ubuntu-11.04 ? (in 10.10 is /tmp)

[13:19] <astro_> celthunder, ok final question before i go and reboot and test this. im gonna use the KDM. how do i make KDM the default login manger over gdm upon startup?
[13:19] <celthunder> deffcon: install them?
[13:19] <kali`> i already have an iptables-save file which i intend on using ;)

[13:22] <deffcon> yes
[13:23] <viskos> After update from 10.10 to 11.04 my desktop is missing. The backround pic is showing but the Unfiy seems to be missing. What to do? Format?
[13:23] <evenflow> hello, after update my ubuntu 10.10 freezes, when i try to get into recovery mode or single user mode it just stalls when it reaches: "firewire core: created device fw0:...", i suspect this has something to do with display as when i try to do a normal boot it reaches the ubuntu screen and freezes
[13:24] <__Alex_> viskos: try to type: 'sudo aptitude reinstall ubuntu-desktop'
[13:24] <Dr_Willis> viskos:  were you usuing the Autologin feature? or the netbook edition?
[13:24] <ShawnRisk> how do I make sure that my wireless connection stays connected at all times?  I am using Ubuntu 11.04.  Maybe this is the password is not saved or knows what connection to look for.  Ideas?
[13:24] <viskos> Auto login
[13:24] <Pici> deffcon: It doest look like we ship libc.a in that path. Heres a paste with the packages that ship that file: http://paste.ubuntu.com/603689/
[13:24] <Dr_Willis> viskos:  saw a friend today, his 'auto login' was set to the wrong desktop enviroment.
[13:24] <kali`> fixed it!
[13:25] <viskos> Do I use th Ctrl At F12 to fins terminal?
[13:25] <Dr_Willis> viskos:   his was set to 'une' instead of 'ubuntu'
[13:25] <ErezCohen> hey guys, Can i list only the directories in a backup file? all i find is the -tzvf commands.... 10x :-)
[13:25] <Dr_Willis> I would suggest logging out to the GDM screen and seeing if you can select a differnt desktop.
[13:25] <coachj> if i run 11.4 from live CD will unity run?
[13:25] <__Alex_> ShawnRisk: Are you using 'Network Manager' or 'WICD'?
[13:25] <kali`> dr_willis, your friend is a guinea pig ;)
[13:25] <Dr_Willis> I also suggest disabling autologin in gdm for now viskos .
[13:25] <astro_> celthunder, ok, cool and i am guessing the location of the kdm bin file is the same, just replace gdm with kdm?
[13:25] <viskos> aha I will check that
[13:26] <Dr_Willis> kali`:  yep. He had a netbook edition that has been upgraded time and time again. its still using Grub1
[13:26] <ShawnRisk> __Alex_: I am not near the laptop at the moment, but I believe I installed both.
[13:26] <Dr_Willis> kali`:  i just happened to notice the gdm configs had him autologing in to 'une'
[13:27] <zvacet> coachj:  it should
[13:27] <ErezCohen> come on, help a nurd.....LOL
[13:27] <coachj> zvacet; ok thks
[13:27] <viskos> What command on the kayboard do I use for the GDM screen?
[13:27] <Flippo_> hi ! is there a command to activate "shift" ? in order to avoid to push the buttons
[13:27] <viskos> And terminal?
[13:28] <Dr_Willis> viskos:  somthing like 'sudo service gdm stop' or 'start' or 'restart' depending on wha tyou want to do.
[13:28] <kali`> dr_willis, haha
[13:28] <kali`> when's the next lts release scheduled? will it be 12.04?
[13:29] <kali`> how does it go: 10.04 10.10 11.04 11.10
[13:29] <kali`> 12.04.. etc
[13:29] <zvacet> viskos: you can use ctrl+f1 to f6 and ctrl +f7 to go back to gui
[13:29] <karthick87> I am unable to connect to windows domain from ubuntu, Can anyone help me ?
[13:29] <zvacet> kali`:  10.10
[13:29] <viskos> Thanks!!
[13:29] <zvacet> *11.10
[13:30] <kali`> zvacet, that's the lts? i thought lts always end on *.04
[13:30] <popey> kali`: 12.04 is the next LTS
[13:30] <popey> kali`: its roughly every 2 years
[13:30] <kali`> but yeah, six months between releases no matter how mature they are
[13:30] <arquebus> Erez- just list files? ls -a
[13:30] <kali`> ah popey
[13:30] <morning> celthunder: Autofs5 seems to have solved the issue.  I killed a root server this way once, wanted to format something locally, ended up formatting the serv :D
[13:32] <kali`> nice frostschutz
[13:33] <CalicoJack> jiohdi: principle of least privilege suggests that this is, in general, a bad idea
[13:33] <CalicoJack> jiohdi: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Least_privilege

[13:36] <Wolf_22> If you get a 403 "Forbidden" when trying to access a LAMP host, is that enough leeway to at least be convinced that the server is up and running--just not adjusted for visitors?
[13:38] <zvacet> __Alex_: if I remember correctly I installed wicd but not remove nm I think it was removed by wicd install or was intact because wicd take it's place
[13:38] <frostschutz> Wolf_22: if it wasn't running you'd be getting a timeout or connection refused, not any http status error reply

[13:41] <Wolf_22> What do you guys advise in terms of assigning permissions to groups? For example, I'd like to have access to this box through the browser (duh), but I'm a bit unsure how to assign permissions to "visitors". Is there already a group for this out-of-the-can?

[13:47] <Crackofdawn> I have a pair of weird issues that seemed to start occuring around the same time recently after a random package update...  first, when I log into my 10.04.2 LTS system, it displays the issue twice - once appears to be the 'new' issue where it shows the version, and any package updates available (none right now), and one where it shows the current version again, and then tells me I have 70 updates, 28 of which are security updates,
[13:48] <karthick87> How to disable USB ?
[13:48] <bazhang_> karthick87, why would you want to
[13:48] <Distress> put gum in the usb port
[13:49] <karthick87> bazhang_: Do you want a reason ? Its a  database company, so we have to block the USB port..
[13:49] <nonesoblind> For some reason the application menu (file | edit | view...)  isn't appearing for some apps, for example, Chrome and Virtualbox. Anyone run into this problem before?
[13:49] <bazhang_> nonesoblind, on unity? check the app name in the top panel for them
[13:50] <tom1> hello, I am trying to create a MEX file using Matlab R2008a  in Ubuntu 11.04. It is worked fine in the previous 4 Ubuntu releases, but I now get some sort of library error (I think)...http://paste.ubuntu.com/603697/
[13:50] <Pici> karthick87: I suppose you could blacklist the kernel module(s) that provide usb support.
[13:50] <nonesoblind> Yes sorry unity on 11.04.  What do you mean by check the top panel?  The app menu options (file, edit, view, etc) are appearing for terminal but not Virtualbox or Chrome
[13:50] <Distress> hover the top panal nonesoblind
[13:50] <Distress> panel*
[13:50] <Distress> in chrome
[13:51] <Distress> kinda like in OSX
[13:51] <nonesoblind> I understand how it's supposed to work...what I am saying is it's working for some apps and not others
[13:51] <karthick87> Pici: I just want to block only storage devices, because Mouse and keyboards are connected via USB ports.
[13:51] <Distress> ah
[13:51] <CalicoJack> nonesoblind: well, that is because unity is inconsistent
[13:51] <Distress> karthick87,  is that even possible? disable all usb devices or disable none
[13:52] <Pici> karthick87: hmm..
[13:52] <CalicoJack> nonesoblind: some apps move menus to the top, some leave them in the traditional place.  in the case of chrome, it doesn't use a menu like the one you are describing
[13:52] <jrdnyquist> dang, http://amplicate.com/hate/unity
[13:52] <nonesoblind> Calicojack: it actually worked yesterday and it's not working today.
[13:52] <CalicoJack> nonesoblind: click on the wrench on the right hand side of the chrome window
[13:53] <karthick87> Distress: As i said i want to disable only external storage devices like USB harddisk or flash drives..
[13:53] <bazhang_> jrdnyquist, thats not on topic here
[13:53] <jrdnyquist> bazhang_, ok just kinda surpised me
[13:53] <Dr_Willis> karthick87:  its proberly possible to  stop them from automounting via some gnome settings. and then you can lock down where users cant mount things by hand. But it may be easier to just lock the PC in a cabinent.
[13:54] <Dr_Willis> I recall some GNOME KOISK mode settings once.. but its been ages ago.
[13:54] <nonesoblind> Calicojack: I've been using Ubuntu for some time and I actually don't mind Unity.  I understand what they are trying to do and I commend them, they are taking a risk.
[13:55] <evenflow> does anyone know how to go into single user mode in ubuntu?
[13:55] <Pici> karthick87: I have Let me look for something, one moment.
[13:55] <ecinx3> For those who know how to use the HP 50g calculator: How do you use m,k,M,n  instead of E-3,E3,E6,E9 Respectively?
[13:55] <karthick87> Dr_Willis: If so we have to do it for more than 500 ubuntu systems :) LOL
[13:55] <Dr_Willis> evenflow:  at the grub menu. you can edit the boot line so it has 'single' at the end.
[13:55] <evenflow> Dr_Willis , tried that, doesnt work
[13:55] <ojii> how can I enable desktop notifications when a song changes in banshee?
[13:55] <Dr_Willis> karthick87:  sounds like you are goind to be doing some deeper research.
[13:55] <evenflow> also tried "single"
[13:55] <CalicoJack> nonesoblind: have you tried gnome shell at all?
[13:56] <Dr_Willis> evenflow:  theres also the 'recovery' mode.
[13:56] <evenflow> that one also doesnt work
[13:56] <Dr_Willis> Im not even sure 'single' really applies to ubuntu any more. since its using upstart and not the normal runlevels.
[13:56] <Dr_Willis> evenflow:  you got deeper issues then it seems. how about the 'text' mode? :)
[13:56] <nonesoblind> CalicoJack, you mean Gnome3?
[13:56] <evenflow> how can i enter text mode?
[13:56] <Dr_Willis> evenflow:  replace splash quiet with 'text'
[13:56] <aBs0lut30> hey guys, need some help, just loaded up natty and am trying to get some bonded interfaces to work, bond0 comes up no problem, but for the life of me I cannot get bond1 to come up, also cant figure out where to tell it to let me run two bond's...
[13:57] <CalicoJack> nonesoblind: well, gnome shell is the interface for gnome 3. so... kinda. yes.
[13:57] <Dr_Willis> in the grub menu listing
[13:57] <evenflow> ok
[13:57] <Pici> karthick87: I don't have a real Ubuntu machine to check this on (On my VPS at the moment), but take a look at this: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-disable-modprobe-loading-of-usb-storage-driver/
[13:57] <Dr_Willis> text = disables plymouth, and gdm. goes to a normal LOGIN console.
[13:57] <nonesoblind> Calicojack: I see, yes I've used it.  It seems more responsive than unity.  There are things I like/dislike from both UIs.
[13:58] <evenflow> Dr_Willis, no go, stuck on firewire_core: created device fw0: GUID blablabala...
[13:58] <ruan> i need a /dev/serialport for a USB device to monitor my UPS, where should i start?
[13:58] <crystal-cola> I can't figure out how to set icecat as my default browser
[13:58] <nonesoblind> By the way, I think this application menu problem is my own doing.  Somehow I had proposed updates turned on
[13:58] <Dr_Willis> evenflow:  sounds like some  deeper issue then.  You have a firewire hard drive plugged in?
[13:58] <evenflow> nope
[13:58] <CalicoJack> nonesoblind: anyway, the point is, I think Gnome shell kind does what Unity tried to do, but does it a lot better. I have some gripes about it, but overall it is a better interface than unity because it is *consistent*
[13:58] <Dr_Willis> evenflow:  you could perhaps blacklist the firewire modules.
[13:59] <evenflow> hmm
[13:59] <evenflow> good idea
[13:59] <evenflow> ill have to boot from a cd then
[13:59] <karthick87> Pici: Thankyou i will try it out.
[13:59] <Dr_Willis> evenflow:  of course it could be some bug happening right after that message. thats not even showing a message.
[13:59] <CalicoJack> nonesoblind: i'm not really upset about unity taking a risk, i'm upset about them forking gnome3 and then doing a sub-par job
[13:59] <aBs0lut30> anybody?? a second bonded interface on natty??
[14:00] <Dr_Willis> !bond
[14:00] <evenflow> the weird thing is, if i press ctrl-alt-delete it will start the shutdown sequence but aside from that no response
[14:00] <ruan> i need a /dev/serialport name for a USB device, where can i find it?
[14:00] <Dr_Willis> evenflow:  you have ssh server installed where you can ssh in?
[14:00] <evenflow> i dont think sshd has started
[14:01] <Alexia_Death_> ruan: usb seialports end up as /dev/ttyUSB# where # is a number, usually 0.
[14:02] <evenflow> nope, ssh isnt running yet
[14:02] <evenflow> i am however, going to reboot from cd and blacklist the firewire module
[14:03] <ruan> Alexia_Death_: somehow i dont see any ttyUSB entries in /dev/
[14:03] <kevinyoung> hi all
