[00:01] <zopiac> Our router died so I am using an ethernet hub that we scavenged, but I can't get internet through it. I've never used a 'hub' before, or even a switch. How do I get internet through it? (using it fine via a windows machine right now)
[00:01] <axel> Hallo!
[00:01] <axel> I try to encrypt a partition with luks but it doesn't seem to work:
[00:01] <axel> sudo cryptsetup -c aes-xts-plain -s 512 luksFormat /dev/sda2
[00:01] <gmachine_24> Good evening. I have removed the speaker/volume control from my taskbar and cannot restore it - have tried system>preferences>startup applications but that gave me a different icon
[00:01] <gmachine_24> so anyway I want to restore the original volume control
[00:02] <gmachine_24> and I also searched for answers but whatever I tried it hasn't worked
[00:02] <Toph2> gmachine_24,,, good question,, i have the same problem
[00:02] <gmachine_24> oh no!
[00:03] <rypervenche> axel: I think you have to use -s 256 since it does it twice or something
[00:03] <mkanyicy> gmachine_24: have you perhaps tried to right-click the panel and click add to panel
[00:03] <gmachine_24> mkanyicy, absolutely. Went through all the possibilities - a generic volume control is not among the choices.
[00:03] <rypervenche> axel: And you forgot what you want it named
[00:03] <Toph2> mkanyicy,,, i tried that, but the simple volume control isn't in the list of icons to add
[00:03] <jamiewan> gmachine_24: alt-F2 and bring up the run applications screen the gnome-volume-control-applet will run from there and shows up on the panel and works correctly.
[00:04] <gmachine_24> I got the fish thing to work ok, though.
[00:04] <rypervenche> axel: sudo cryptsetup luksFormat -c "aes-xts-plain" -s 512 /dev/sda2 LUKS01
[00:04] <rypervenche> axel: Or something like that
[00:04] <rypervenche> axel: it will show up in /dev/mapper/LUKS01
[00:07] <gmachine_24> jamiewan, et al, I cannot find the gnome-volume-control-applet anywhere. That's been one of my problems.
[00:07] <Toph2> jamiewan,,, i don't see that as an option under the alt-F2 choices
[00:08] <jamiewan> gmachine_24: alt-f2 then start typing gnome-volume-control-applet and it should appear in the list before u finish typing
[00:08] <axel> rypervenche: Sorry. It didn't work.
[00:08] <gmachine_24> no, wait. I do have the gnome-volume-control-applet running .... but that's different than what is installed by default
[00:09] <gmachine_24> Toph2, I installed it under right click>add to panel, etc.
[00:09] <gmachine_24> and then application launcher, sorry
[00:10] <Gredeu> is it theoreticallly possible for ubuntu to be backported to the ti99/4a ?
[00:10] <rypervenche> axel: Did you try it with -s 256?
[00:10] <Toph2> gmachine_24,,, i have a volume control on my panel as well,, but it is more complex than the origional and I kind of prefered the simple version
[00:11] <photon> I have a large hard disk that I want to backup to DVDs. for that I have to (virtually) divide up my hard disk into ~25GB parts, each of which I can burn to a DVD. no file is larger than 20 GB, so I won't have to split up files. is there any way to automate this process? having to find files which add up to ~25GB and then marking them as backed up is kind of annoying and cumbersome.
[00:11] <rypervenche> axel: And what is it showing when you try the command?
[00:11] <axel> rypervenche: Yes, I tried that, too.
[00:11] <axel> Nothing.
[00:11] <axel> rypervenche: Nothing.
[00:11] <gmachine_24> Toph2 - me, too. I think we have the same icon on our task bars and I think we both want to restore the same older, simpler one
[00:12] <Toph2> gmachine_24,,, indeed
[00:13] <billybigrigger> anyone here have experience with NFS shares on a wireless N network?
[00:13] <gmachine_24> back up your hard drive to a hard drive. backing up to dvds is a bad idea
[00:13] <mkanyicy> billybigrigger: no
[00:14] <vfw_> billybigrigger: Yes
[00:15] <vfw_> on a mixed network.
[00:15] <billybigrigger> vfw_, i can't seem to get more than 8.8Mbits/s on a file transfer...that works out to 1MB/s
[00:16] <billybigrigger> although iwconfig is telling me it's in 150Mb mode, i know i won't get near those speeds, but alot of speed tests i've been looking at should atleast give me 20Mb/s
[00:16] <mkanyicy> photon: 25GBfora dvd?
[00:16] <mkanyicy> photon: 25GB for a dvd?
[00:16] <bastidrazor> billybigrigger: its actually less but that is a non-issue
[00:16] <vfw_> iwconfig  #What does the signal to noise ratio look like?
[00:16] <andrew____> will wubi screw up windows in any way
[00:16] <photon> mkanyicy: er, blu ray
[00:16] <billybigrigger> im using wpa2/aes, tried changing the channel width, from 20 and 20/40auto
[00:17] <andrew____> will wubi hurt my windows partition
[00:17] <axel> rypervenche: I've got it. I've read to fast:
[00:17] <axel> rypervenche: "Are you sure? (Type uppercase yes):"
[00:17] <axel> rypervenche: I've typed "yes" istead of "YES".
[00:17] <billybigrigger> nothing will even put my router into 300Mb mode that it claims it will do, but thats besides the fact...
[00:17] <mkanyicy> photon: you can use a shell script that will do what you want
[00:17] <mkanyicy> photon: and then make a cron job
[00:17] <andrew____> Will wubi ever screw up my windows partition
[00:17] <billybigrigger> i've played iwth rsize,wsize in my fstab for the nfs4 mount...that doesn't really help
[00:18] <axel> rypervenche: Thank you for your help. But sorry for disturbing you with such a mistake of mine.
[00:18] <billybigrigger> any other NFS/wirelessN pointers for me?
[00:18] <gmachine_24> Toph2 did you get it working
[00:18] <photon> mkanyicy: sure, but how would I do that?
[00:19] <vfw_> billybigrigger: What is the signal report?
[00:19] <gmachine_24> Ok anyway this is how you get the generic volume control back on the task bar: 1. Right-click on the panel where you'd like the volume controller to appear and select "Add to panel"
[00:19] <gmachine_24> 	2. Choose "Indicator Applet" from the list and click on "Add" and you're done. The volume control should be back.
[00:19] <mkanyicy> photon: by reading 'man rsync', 'man cp', 'man tar', 'man gzip', 'man bzip2', 'man unison'
[00:20] <billybigrigger> -41dBm
[00:20] <mkanyicy> photon: once you have identified the right tool for your  needs I can help you with the script
[00:20] <billybigrigger> i've tried the auto chan, and chan 1 3 6 8 and 11
[00:20] <billybigrigger> no big difference
[00:20] <RB2> Good Evening. I've run into a problem and it's made me a little nervous. After mounting an NTFS partition in Ubuntu and copying some data, I booted into Win 7. It wanted to run checkdisk and after that, the partition was no longer readable by Windows or Ubuntu. I'm currently doing data recovery, but I'm not sure what caused the issue.
[00:21] <RB2> Some googling revealed people with similar problems with a drive that moved from Ubuntu to Win7 and back again, but no solutions or insights into what caused it.
[00:22] <RB2> I've never had this issue with my WinXP/Ubuntu 10.10 dual-boot setup, just the Win7/Ubuntu 11.04 setup.
[00:22] <mkanyicy> RB2: interesting
[00:23] <vfw_> billybigrigger: Have  you captured some packets to see if there are  retries?
[00:23] <mkanyicy> RB2: what does ubuntu say when it refuses to mount it?
[00:23] <RB2> mkanyicy, if I do it from Nautilus, I get that it exited with a code 2... from the prompt, no errors, it just doesn't mount.
[00:23] <vfw_> billybigrigger: iwconfig | pastebinit
[00:23] <robin0800> zopiac, has it a "wan" connector because if not I'm not sure you can
[00:24] <gmachine_24> RB2, I don't know - have you read something such as this: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/15761/recover-data-like-a-forensics-expert-using-an-ubuntu-live-cd/
[00:25] <RB2> gmachine_24, I'm using Restorer2000 right now (awesome Windows app btw) to recover the files to another drive.
[00:25] <vfw_> billybigrigger: 2.4GHz porpagation requires line-of-sight and you may need to improve location(s).
[00:25] <RB2> gmachine_24, the partitions are still there... actually two of them (both NTFS)
[00:26] <RB2> One is readable (my old WinXP boot partition), one is not (Data Storage)
[00:26] <gmachine_24> so if one is not readable how do you know it's there? I take it the volume info is missing??
[00:26] <mkanyicy> RB2: how are you mounting that partition on terminal?
[00:27] <RB2> gmachine_24, an fdisk -l will show both partitions on the drive
[00:27] <gmachine_24> RB2, ok.
[00:27] <RB2> From my reading, exit error code 2 means the drive has the checkdisk flag set on it, so ubuntu won't mount it
[00:28] <RB2> In Windows, it wants to do a checkdisk on boot now... (which I aborted until I'm sure the data is off and safe), when Windows is loaded, it sees no file system on the partition and wants to Format it
[00:28] <mkanyicy> RB2: then you should let windows check the disk
[00:29] <billybigrigger> vfw_, http://pastebin.com/1LH9gF1v
[00:29] <RB2> mkanyicy, my plan is to let it do the checkdisk after the data is safe on a removable drive. I've had checkdisk make a bad problem worse in the past.
[00:29] <vacho> I have a public_html folder, I want to zip everything in the folder including the file permissions (but not the file owner name) and move it to a new server (that will have a different file owner name)
[00:29] <vacho> is that even possible?
[00:29] <edbian> vacho: yep
[00:30] <zopiac> robin0800: what is a 'wan' connector exactly?
[00:30] <vacho> edbian: what command do I use to copy all files (including hidden) and keep their permissions?
[00:30] <mkanyicy> RB2: if you are just accessing your files on Linux for reading, mount your ntfs read-only then
[00:30] <gmachine_24> wireless area network
[00:30] <gmachine_24> connector
[00:30] <mkanyicy> vacho: cp -p
[00:30] <billybigrigger> vfw_, ?
[00:31] <vacho> -p also preserves ownership??
[00:31] <edbian> vacho: I can't find the flag for permissions.  but the zip command without it is  zip -r outputfile.zip /path/to/public_html/
[00:31] <eligijus> hey guys, have someone of you heard anything about nvidia optimus support in ubuntu 11.10? there will be it or not?
[00:31] <zopiac> robin0800: ah, i see, googled it.. Yes it does have one, and I know you can get internet through it because im using this win7 computer off of it, but my ubuntu, arch linux, and winxp computers all are not working with it
[00:31] <RB2> mkanyicy, I'm still trying to get to the bottom of why it occurred in the first place. I don't know if it was ntfs-3g or Win7 that caused the issue, so I'm hesitant to plug anything into my machine now. :(
[00:31] <mkanyicy> vacho: tar -p
[00:32] <gmachine_24> sorry, it's wide area network - bigger than a lan
[00:32] <vacho> nevermind, I wil figure out something else.
[00:32] <MrGizmo757> i have a question about using PAE.  What will i be sacrafising if i run 32 bit with PAE rather then full 64 Bit?  i have 16 gigs of ram and a 6 core cpu.
[00:32] <mkanyicy> vacho: good luck
[00:33] <vacho> th
[00:33] <vacho> x
[00:33] <bazhang> MrGizmo757, pae is fine
[00:33] <mkanyicy> RB2: without any info, we cannot tell
[00:33] <bazhang> linux-generic-pae to get it MrGizmo757
[00:33] <RB2> mkanyicy, indeed. Just wondered if anyone has seen anything similar happen.
[00:34] <mkanyicy> RB2: but if you mounted it on linux and then a shutdown was forced without umounting it
[00:34] <bingopajama> woooo hooot!
[00:34] <racho> MrGizmo757, PAE will work, however I have found that every single distro to behave snappier under 64bit with the appropriate hardware
[00:34] <dev1ls> hi, ubuntu's guru
[00:34] <vfw_> billybigrigger: Sorry, was on the phone
[00:34] <mkanyicy> RB2: that might cause the partition to be marked unclean and prompt for checks to be done on it
[00:34] <billybigrigger> oh ok, p
[00:34] <billybigrigger> np
[00:34] <bingopajama> I have not bin on an irc channel for over 5 years
[00:35] <dev1ls> too night i need a favor?
[00:35] <rypervenche> bingopajama: Welcome back :)
[00:35] <bingopajama> thanks  =)
[00:35] <bingopajama> i feel dirty
[00:35] <dev1ls> how can help me to shared network via ad-hoc
[00:35] <bingopajama> all that time wasted with microsoft
[00:36] <MrGizmo757> Yeah i want 64 Bit but the 64 bit drivers in ubuntu have been giving Me problems wince 10.10.  still hasent been fixed yet. PAE is My only option i think. untill this issue gets fixed.
[00:36] <vacho> can I copy from server to server with filezilla?
[00:36] <vfw_> billybigrigger: Ok signal report looks good "Link Quality=69/70"  but that is only half the story and you would have to see what it looks like from the other end.  If is that good or better, great, if it is lower, not so good....
[00:36] <bingopajama> !help
[00:36] <qin> bingopajama: *been
[00:36] <RB2> mkanyicy, I've been in and out of the Live CD for a few days.. it's possible. Still doesn't explain why Windows ran the checkdisk and then I couldn't access the data. But, If I figure it out, I'll definitely come back and share anything interesting.
[00:36] <bingopajama> hrm
[00:37] <bingopajama> help!
[00:37] <racho> MrGizmo757, and exactly which drivers give you the headache?
[00:37] <IdleOne> bingopajama: ask.
[00:37] <mkanyicy> RB2: was the whole drive inaccessible or your data? were you able to create new files or folders into it or not?
[00:37] <bingopajama> i am having a wireless network issue
[00:38] <mkanyicy> bingopajama: no you dont
[00:38] <MrGizmo757> Well whenver My blu-ray player is hooked up in 64 Bit it wont even boot.  i later learned that its a problem with the internal SATA controller.  THe 64 bit version of the driver just dosent work right.
[00:38] <bingopajama> i have installed wicd and uninstalled network manager
[00:38] <bazhang> !wifi | bingopajama read this
[00:38] <vfw_> billybigrigger: Another thing,  you need to look at it a number of times and if you see the signal report fluctuating quite a bit, you be fairly sure that there is an interrference problem, which could be intermod or whatever.
[00:38] <bingopajama> i am hardlined in right now
[00:38] <mkanyicy> vacho: of course yes
[00:38] <bazhang> bingopajama, please read the link
[00:38] <bingopajama> ok
[00:39] <RB2> mkanyicy, the first ntfs partition is fine, the second ntfs partition couldn't be mounted or accessed by Windows... Windows even still assigned it a drive letter...
[00:39] <MrGizmo757> i have posted this issues in launchpad and in a few other places back when i had this issues in 10.10. still no solution. th eproblem even still exsist in the 11.10 beta1
[00:39] <vfw_> billybigrigger: If you have a low signal report or interference problem there will be retries...
[00:41] <Firefishe> Is the Folder View panel widget in kde set up like it is in kubuntu due to the coding--ie, click-on-one-folder-go-to-the-next-folder-but-not-open-dolphin--in kubuntu/kde directly, or is is the same for all distros?
[00:41] <Firefishe> or is it
[00:41] <bingopajama> well it looks like they have a fix for my card but not for the version of ubuntu i am using 11.04
[00:41] <crash1hd> I use x11vnc to connect to my ubuntu machine when I log out of ubuntu it kills my session and my putty terminal is still showing, I try to rerun the x11vnc and it says it cant connect (because it is sitting on the login screen) is there a way of connecting without physically going to the machine to login?
[00:41] <bingopajama> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Atheros/AR9285?highlight=%28ManufacturerModel%29
[00:41] <vfw_> billybigrigger: and it could be a bad signal-to-noise ratio on either end.
[00:41] <RB2> mkanyicy, I can't do much with it at the moment anyway, it's restoring 331GB to an external drive via USB 2.0.. :-S I didn't have an eSATA cable handy.
[00:42] <vfw_> billybigrigger: In other words, there are a lot of factors to consider and some may be unseen ...
[00:42] <MrGizmo757> i have tried to replicate this problem on non ubuntu distros using the same kernel. and the problem dose not exsist in those. it is specific to ubuntu that much i have verified.  but that is all i have been able to figure out. all other roads have been a dead end so far
[00:42] <vacho> what's a good ftp client for MAC that can copy files from server to server?
[00:42] <bingopajama> i have set avahi local to 0
[00:43] <bazhang> vacho, for mac? try an apple channel
[00:43] <bingopajama> which has gotten rid of the .local domain warning that pops up every time i connectionlose my
[00:43] <vfw_> crash1hd: Can't you ssh in and restart x11vnc?
[00:43] <bazhang> !alis | vacho
[00:43] <vacho> for ubuntu?
[00:43] <vacho> tell me for ubuntu
[00:43] <zulax> when i run top i see the cronjobs are executing, but i dont know where the cronjob is executing my files at
[00:43] <billybigrigger> vfw_, for some reason, loading a directory on the nfs share takes ages too....
[00:43] <racho> bingopajama, check linuxwireless.org for possible updated drivers and compile
[00:43] <billybigrigger> wonder if it's an nfs problem?
[00:44] <bingopajama> ok will do thanks
[00:44] <sunice> Vacho scp
[00:44] <vfw_> billybigrigger: I doubt it, but you run a hardline and see.
[00:44] <crash1hd> vfw_, I am ssh in when i try to restart x11vnc I get an error
[00:44] <vfw_> crash1hd: What is the error?  Quote it to me.
[00:44] <crash1hd> vfw_, the error is  XOpenDisplay failed (:0)
[00:45] <racho> MrGizmo757, unfortunately that's why i left ubuntu behind my back...nice little tweaks and candy but lacks some serious support when you need it
[00:45] <vfw_> crash1hd: what command did you send?
[00:45] <vacho> sunice: secpanel??
[00:45] <crash1hd> vfw_, I have been sending x11vnc -usepw -display :0 -xkb -solid -noxdamage -auth /var/lib/gdm/:0.Xauth
[00:46] <MrGizmo757> Yeah. Well i Distro Hop.  i use a diffrent Distro almost every Week. LOL!
[00:46] <crash1hd> vfw_, am I missing something?
[00:46] <vfw_> crash1hd: Are you sure you ssh'ed  into the right user name?
[00:46] <Gredeu> after a package update the package doesn't appear in the unity menu.  this cannot be a bug.
[00:46] <crash1hd> vfw_, yes
[00:46] <vfw_> crash1hd: Just try  x11vnc   with no arguments.
[00:46] <vfw_> see if you get an error
[00:47] <racho> for now I find fedora 15 pleasing and calm ;)
[00:47] <sunice> Vacho, I guess if you feel you need the gui, but scp is super easy to use. Plus great learning how to not fear command line
[00:48] <vfw_> crash1hd: Why are you specifying "-display :0"  ?
[00:48] <sunice> Vacho: scp <file you want to copy> username@serer:<directory to copy to>
[00:48] <crash1hd> vfw_, this is what I get when I run just x11vnc http://www.pastie.org/2511313
[00:48] <MrGizmo757> i Like Ubuntu But Unity is still very very buggy for Me. and i am annoyed that the overheating and battery drain bug that showed up in 11.04 still hasent been fixed. :-(
[00:48] <billybigrigger> vfw_, it must be an option someone
[00:49] <sunice> Vacho: you can switch the server and file directory and pull instead of push
[00:49] <billybigrigger> somewhere, i just hit 50Mb/s on a file transfer, but then it stalled out
[00:49] <racho> MrGizmo757, actually that's still the power regression from the kernel...which has been up for like 3+ months
[00:50] <vfw_> crash1hd: is there an X server session running for that user?
[00:50] <crash1hd> vfw_, not that I am aware
[00:50] <vfw_> crash1hd: Then that is the problem.
[00:50] <Gredeu> is it necessary to kill xserver to update unity newly installed package icon ?
[00:50] <vfw_> crash1hd: x11vnc was unable to open the X DISPLAY: "localhost:10.0"
[00:51] <MrGizmo757> Well that power regression PRoblem i still have in the latest Beta of Ubuntu runnign the 3.0 kernel.   But  i also ran the MileStone 5 of OpenSUSE 12 the otehr day. it has the same Kernel. didnt have that issue.  so i am starting to think that this regression may be ubuntu specific. you think?
[00:51] <crash1hd> this is what I am saying
[00:51] <crash1hd> The machine is at the login screen atm
[00:52] <crash1hd> no user is logged in the command I run x11vnc -usepw -display :0 -xkb -solid -noxdamage -auth /var/lib/gdm/:0.Xauth works great when I am logged in
[00:52] <racho> MrGizmo757, you could try adding the -apci=off in the grub.config. for some hardware configurations it works, others get unstable. About being ubuntu specific idk really.
[00:52] <MrGizmo757> not baching ubuntu or anything i just trying to get me system right.
[00:52] <crash1hd> but I am trying to figure out how to get it to allow me to see the user login screen through vnc
[00:52] <vfw_>  crash1hd Oh, well, you will not be able to run x11vnc until  you go and get it logged in.  If it does auto-login, you can reboot it...
[00:52] <bingopajama> how do i check current driver for my wireless ?
[00:52] <billybigrigger> vfw_, maybe i'm looking at iftop wrong, do you know another bandwidth monitor i can use? maybe the numbers are messed....i dunno
[00:53] <crash1hd> vfw_, yes I can but there is no way to get vnc to allow me to see the login screen?
[00:53] <racho> MrGizmo757, or actually it was "pcie_aspm=force" i can't remember now
[00:54] <vfw_> crash1hd: Not that I know of.
[00:54] <crash1hd> vfw_, ok :)
[00:54] <lingolatz> Does anyone know of a text editor similar to textmate for Mac that is compatible with Ubuntu?
[00:54] <vfw_> crash1hd: Sorry. And sorry it took me so long to realize what the problem was.
[00:54] <MrGizmo757> i did try forcing the cpu scaling down and ramping the fans up. but it wouldnt let me do it. it took the commands but nothing happend
[00:55] <billybigrigger> hmmmm 2m3s to transfer 691MB
[00:55] <crash1hd> vfw_, no problem I am trying to figure out how to change the system from logging in as ubuntu and instead logging in as ubntu classic
[00:55] <billybigrigger> according to the 'time' command
[00:55] <crash1hd> which I seem to only be able to change on the login screen
[00:56] <billybigrigger> so thats 5.75 megabytes a sec...not bad....thats like 3.5x faster than 802.11b
[00:56] <vfw_> crash1hd: I suppose you could start the xserver for that user via startx
[00:57] <crash1hd> vfw_, that might work thanks for the help :)
[00:57] <vfw_> crash1hd: You may need   export DISPLAY=:0.0
[00:57] <vfw_> first .....
[00:58] <mohamed02> hi
[00:58] <jamiewan> crash1hd: cant u just set it up in login screen settings, choose classic as the default session
[00:59] <Sterist> Question: i just replaced my 1gig ram card with a 2gig. win7 recognizes it but ubuntu reads it as 1gig. what to do?
[00:59] <mkanyicy> lingolatz: how does textmate look like? or what features are you looking for?
[00:59] <crash1hd> jamiewan, I tried that it seems to still boot to ubuntu and not classic
[00:59] <jamiewan> k
[00:59] <vfw_> billybigrigger: I don't know really.  All I can do is give you possiblilities.  You could just use trial and error, like improve your location on one or both ends.
[01:00] <racho> lingolatz, gedit and the githhub project gmate may be of interest to you
[01:00] <vfw_> billybigrigger: For best performance 2.4GHz needs clear line of sight.
[01:02] <Sterist> Question: i just replaced my 1gig ram card with a 2gig. win7 recognizes it but ubuntu reads it as 1gig. what to do?
[01:02] <vfw_> gotta go for now...
[01:02] <guest> Im using an old version of ubuntu (10.10) I think, and the icon for wireless connections on the top bar has disappeared.  Therefore, I cannot connect to the internet while logged into my main account.  I am currently running a guest session in order to contact you, which has the default icons on the user bar and allows me to select a network to connect to.  I expect that the fix for my problem is resetting the bar to its standard setting.
[01:02] <edbian> Sterist: What makes you say Ubuntu sees only 1Gb?
[01:02] <sunice> Sterist: what does it show for memory if you type "sudo lshw"?
[01:02] <edbian> Sterist: You shouldn't have to need to do anything
[01:03] <vfw> FYI:   http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/wireless/wireless-basics/30664-5-ways-to-fix-slow-80211n-speed
[01:04] <guest> How do I reset my menu bar to its default setting?
[01:04] <racho> guest, In System > Preferences > Startup Applications is Network Manager shown - and ticked?
[01:04] <sunice> guest: if you right click on the bar you can re-add it. It's something along the way of notification bar...
[01:04] <Sterist> sunice i cant find on the list where the ram info is, any pointers?
[01:04] <edbian> Sterist: free -m
[01:05] <sunice> Sterist: it should be labled under *-memory
[01:05] <guest> I need to log back into my main account to test those things.  If they do not work I will be back.
[01:06] <Sterist> sunice okay found it. thats the only place its reported as 2gig
[01:06] <edbian> Sterist: Where else is it reported?
[01:06] <Sterist> sunice i actually have 2gig integrated ram but the card i replaced was 1gig, totaling 3gig (now 4)
[01:07] <Sterist> sunice so it says 4gig there but on my applet and in the system monitor and with the 'free' command it's all reported as 2960 ish mb
[01:07] <Sterist> sunice same as it was reported with the old ram card
[01:08] <Sterist> sunice i've rebooted twice and of course it was a hard boot after replacing the card so apparently that's not it
[01:08] <racho> Sterist, your new card's memory is 2Gb?
[01:09] <Sterist> racho yes, 2gig card just put in, and 2gig integrated on mobo
[01:09] <sunice> Sterist: I would not expect a reboot to help. I would see if you can get any more info from the breakdown under *-memory. Perhaps it's not using the integrated ram.
[01:09] <guest> Network manager is checked under startup applications.  It is also not in the list of elements that I can add to the bar.
[01:09] <Sterist> sunice it used 100% of ram prior to replacing the card. 3gig
[01:10] <Sterist> sunice already tried rebooting, as explained above. win7 recognizes it and uses 100% of what i now have (4gig)
[01:11] <guest> What is the terminal command to reset the menu bar
[01:11] <sunice> guest: try this http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-network-manager-applet-missing-from-notification-area-in-ubuntu-10-04.html
[01:11] <guest> I know it is"unity --reset" for the newer version of ubuntu
[01:11] <sunice> sterist: who is the manufacturer
[01:12] <sunice> Of new ram
[01:12] <Sterist> sunice PNY
[01:13] <sunice> Sterist: are you using a 32 bit install by chance?
[01:13] <Sterist> sunice no, 64
[01:14] <Romance> Hello, I want to redirect www.youtube.com to www.google.com ... how to do that in Ubuntu? what should i edit?
[01:14] <edbian> Romance: /etc/hosts
[01:14] <Romance> hold on
[01:14] <shaun413> hi
[01:14] <shaun413> i need help
[01:14] <GRMrGecko> Just to verify, when you have a user account without admin prividges on Ubuntu, can that user change DNS? If so, how I can change that?
[01:14] <shaun413> installing ubuntu
[01:14] <wildbat> !help | shaun413
[01:14] <edbian> GRMrGecko: change DNS ?
[01:15] <GRMrGecko> edbian: The DNS server it asks for domain names
[01:15] <shaun413> my boot disk doenst work
[01:15] <racho> sunice if you have 2900mb+ free how much mem is occupied?
[01:15] <rickb|> You guys think that this http://astore.amazon.com/pennymon-20/detail/B003UL37NS will work on linux? Really wanna buy it!! lol
[01:15] <edbian> GRMrGecko: They cannot specify it unless they are root.
[01:15] <Romance> edbian : can i exactly use www.youtube.com or use its IP ?
[01:15] <edbian> GRMrGecko: They'd have to edit /etc/resolv.conf
[01:15] <GRMrGecko> edbian: Which means normal user accounts cannot change it which is good in my case
[01:15] <edbian> Romance: I'm not sure.  I think you have to use it's IP (not really sure though)
[01:15] <edbian> GRMrGecko: That's root
[01:15] <wildbat> shaun413: did you check your iso with md5sum ? you using CD?
[01:15] <edbian> GRMrGecko: That's right :)
[01:15] <shaun413> yes a cd
[01:16] <GRMrGecko> because then I can force people to use a custom dns that only allows specific domains
[01:16] <tonsofpcs> ?
[01:16] <shaun413> check my iso?
[01:16] <wildbat> !md5sum | shaun413:
[01:16] <edbian> GRMrGecko: yes.   I could of booted my Ubuntu Virtual Machine, but this is quicker:P
[01:17] <guest> sunice, I got an error saying there is no mailcap for some stream.  Also, when I try to add network panel to the list it is not an option.
[01:17] <edbian> GRMrGecko: sure :)
[01:17] <sunice> Sterist: I use Htop to show used and available ram.
[01:17] <guest> Does anyone know the terminal command to RESET the menubar to its default setting in ubuntu 10.10?
[01:18] <elbeto> vlc wont play dvd, Im running ubuntu studio 11.04
[01:18] <coz_> guest what is happening with the menu bar?
[01:18] <racho> guest, -> try sudo killall NetworkManager 2) sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart 3) sudo NetworkManager
[01:18] <Romance> edbian : it won't work :(
[01:18] <guest> coz_, network manager disappeared.  I expect I need to restore default settings.
[01:18] <edbian> Romance: use the IP :P
[01:18] <coz_> elbeto,    run this command     sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh
[01:19] <Romance> edbian : i use the IP :(
[01:19] <guest> coz_, Im done trying to readd the network manager.  At this point I just want to restore the default settings of the menubar.
[01:19] <edbian> Romance: it's cashed. (you're been to youtube recently and it's remembering the most recent IP)
[01:19] <JabDesign> so, anyone seeing a significant outage across the US - like services originating in california being out?  is there some sort of massive californian power outage going on?
[01:19] <racho> guest, do you have a notification area in the bar...that's where the icons show up
[01:19] <Romance> so i have to delete cache and all history?
[01:19] <bazhang> !ot | JabDesign
[01:20] <elbeto> coz, thanks! I am running it right now
[01:20] <guest> racho, yes
[01:20] <sunice> Sterist: Sorry being pulled away by the old lady. Hope I helped.
[01:20] <Sterist> sunice htop shows 2989mb
[01:20] <racho> guest then -> gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel
[01:21] <shaun413> i cant figure out ho to check the iso
[01:21] <JabDesign> looks like multiple backbones are timing out, comcast, layer 3, etc
[01:21] <coz_> guest in terminal try  gconftoo-2 -- shutdown    then   gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel   then    rm -rf ~/.gconf/apps/panel   then   pkill gnome-panel
[01:21] <sunice> Sterist: The only experience I've had close is while running a i386 install. Sorry I cannot help more.
[01:21] <coz_> guset sorry that first one is  gconftool-2 --shutdown
[01:21] <coz_> guest you may also want to either log off and back on or restart the system
[01:21] <Sterist> sunice that's what i have lol i386 64bit
[01:22] <sonelliot> im a gnu/linux newbie having trouble installing grub on my white macbook '09. would anyone be able to provide assistance? :)
[01:22] <coz_> no you dont have i386 64 bit
[01:22] <elbeto> coz, thank you, it is working, why vlc did not come with that package?
[01:22] <shaun413> i just extract the files to the cd right?
[01:22] <guest> coz_, racho, thanks
[01:22] <coz_> elbeto,   because of licensing issues
[01:23] <shaun413> ?
[01:23] <elbeto> coz, thanks!
[01:24] <coz_> elbeto,   no problem
[01:24] <tab1293>  i have a 1TB external hard drive that I want to share between my linux and windows systems. do you think ntfs is the best way to go? i will just have music, movies, documents etc on the drive
[01:24] <shaun413> hello?
[01:24] <wildbat> shuan413, you don't extract them ~ you just burn the iso with like nero, poweriso, magiciso, etc..... , iso is cd image not mean to extract and burn.
[01:24] <racho> tab1293, well afaik windows can't recognize ext# filesystems
[01:25] <coz_> tab1293,  ntfs should work fine  as would fat 32  but ntfs  should work yes
[01:25] <tab1293> what about guid vs mbr?
[01:25] <tab1293> i will only have one partition on the drive so will it even matter?
[01:25] <shaun413> so whats  a free program i can use?
[01:25] <shaun413> to burn the iso?
[01:26] <guest> racho, I followed the steps and I get an error while parsing.  Apparent the gconftool doesnt exist
[01:26] <coz_> tab1293,  should matter
[01:26] <shaun413> it doenlads as a zip file
[01:26] <tab1293> should or shouldnt?
[01:26] <wildbat> tab1293 stick with MBR unless you have a reason to use GPT.
[01:26] <coz_> shaun413,   dont you have  brasero on board there?
[01:26] <tab1293> ok
[01:26] <shaun413> what i dont know what that is
[01:27] <coz_> shaun413,  the iso is in zip format?
[01:27] <shaun413> yes
[01:27] <shaun413> no its an .iso
[01:27] <shaun413> what program can i use to burn it?
[01:27] <coz_> shaun413,  did you right click  "Extract here"  to see if an iso is in there?
[01:27] <shaun413> the whole thing is the iso
[01:28] <coz_> shaun413,  oh ok,, use either brasero which is already installed or   install gnomebaker
[01:28] <shaun413> what free program can i use to extract
[01:28] <shaun413> im on windows
[01:28] <racho> guest, then apt-get it and then run the command. it appears that somehow it got baleeted from the system...
[01:28] <coz_> shaun413,  brasero you can open aith alt+F2  type  brasero
[01:28] <wildbat> shaun413, it isn't zip then many "zip" application can extract iso too ~ but you DON'T extract and burn ~ you just burn with image burner
[01:28] <guest> racho, sudo apt-get networkmanager?
[01:28] <shaun413> ok i need a free image burner for windows
[01:29] <wildbat> shaun413, poweriso can do it .
[01:29] <wildbat> shareware thou
[01:29] <racho> guest, gconftool..but search it cuz i don't know it's exact name in the buntu repos
[01:29] <guest> racho, whats baleeted
[01:29] <coz_> shaun413,  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto#Windows
[01:29] <racho> guest, epic fail :)
[01:30] <lingolatz> mkanyicy, textmate looks like this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhMBawN1F0M#t=120
[01:31] <lingolatz> racho, I will look into that, thank you
[01:31] <racho> lingolatz, also take a look into scribes
[01:31] <lingolatz> Is scribes on github?
[01:31] <elbeto> shaun413, InfraRecorder is free and open source.  I dont use windows but I heard about it
[01:31] <racho> lingolatz, it tries to mimic textmate in a way
[01:32] <racho> i think there was a ppa for ubuntu
[01:33] <lingolatz> racho, I'm sorry, 'ppa'?
[01:33] <elbeto> shaun413, or ImgBurn
[01:33] <coz_> shaun413,   imra recorder   http://infrarecorder.org/
[01:34] <yeats> !ppa | lingolatz
[01:34] <racho> lingolatz, just take a look http://tinyurl.com/4yzhojo
[01:36] <shaun413> ok im burning with infra
[01:36] <shaun413> its writing
[01:38] <Guest> hello.
[01:38] <coz_> hey
[01:38] <shaun413> any good programs i should get for ubuntu?
[01:38] <shaun413> and how much hd should i partion to it
[01:39] <bazhang> !manual | shaun413 please have a read
[01:39] <Guest> shaun413: 10gb is enough for /
[01:39] <coz_> shaun413,   wel that depends on what you want to do....  parition as much as you like,, more is usually better :)  and as far as applications... do you like graphics,, o r music  or science
[01:39] <coz_> shaun413,  it will depend on your interests
[01:39] <shaun413> graphics and science
[01:39] <Guest> yeo, like coz_ says
[01:39] <Guest84700> Can someone please help me
[01:40] <coz_> shaun413,   for graphics... gimp...inkscape...mypaint...pinta
[01:40] <mahir256> the maximum of partitions on a single hdd should be 3: one for /home, one for all other dirs, and one for the swap file.
[01:40] <Guest> !ask | Guest84700
[01:40] <Guest> When I hide ALL desktop icons it also hides Conky. what I am doing wrong?
[01:40] <Sterist> RAM QUESTION: I replaced my 1gig ram card with a 2gig and it's recognized as 1gig by all applications except 'sudo lshw' command. win7 reads it right. what do i do?
[01:40] <shaun413> science?
[01:40] <shaun413> and is 50 gigs good?
[01:41] <Guest> shaun413: it's too much.
[01:41] <shaun413> why
[01:41] <Guest84700> I am getting errors about downloading an update saying that the repository no longer exists, Can someone please help me correct this problem
[01:41] <coz_> shaun413,     https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuScience
[01:41] <Guest> programs hardly use 50 GB but yeh
[01:41] <MonkeyDust> 'why' is a philosophical question ;)
[01:41] <shaun413> so how about 30 gigs
[01:42] <Guest> shaun413: I have a lot of apps installed and im only used 4.5gb
[01:42] <Guest> using*
[01:42] <mahir256> Guest84700: the repository may no longer exist. ever thought about that?
[01:42] <lingolatz> racho, I have installed scribes through the provided link. There is no toolbar?
[01:42] <shaun413> i have a 1tb hdd
[01:42] <coz_> shaun413,    https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GraphicsApplications
[01:42] <shaun413> so it doesnt matter how much i use
[01:42] <Guest> Guest84700: open a terminal and type gksu software-properties-gtk
[01:42] <Guest84700> but it is about the Kernal
[01:43] <Guest> then enter password
[01:43] <mahir256> shaun413: honestly, that's too much for you to handle now that you're asking what programs to use and how to partition it.
[01:43] <Guest84700> mahir cmon man please don't be like that
[01:43] <shaun413> what too much for me too handle?
[01:43] <Guest> Guest84700: open a terminal and type gksu software-properties-gtk
[01:43] <racho> Sterist, what does lspci -v shows?
[01:44] <Lithos84> shaun413: this may help you with size and partitions: http://ur1.ca/51v7c
[01:44] <Guest> Guest84700: then to go Other Software tab. and btw tell us which repositories are failing.
[01:44] <mahir256> what i would do is allocate 75% to system files, 12.5% to /home, and 12.5% as a swap file. i would also get all the gnome and kde programs and actually use them. they're called desktop environments for a reason.
[01:45] <shaun413> will it do this in the install?
[01:45] <shaun413> or i have to partion it seperately somehow
[01:45] <racho> lingolatz, try to hover over the top of the window.. i think it's a 'desing' decision
[01:46] <Guest> I love Ubuntu now that I'm used to it.
[01:46] <Lithos84> shaun413: You can partition it during install if you want.
[01:46] <shaun413> ok so 20 gigs?
[01:46] <doggyslobber> My backspace key is gone.  Does anyone know of an app/script that can remap keys? I never use the "home" key and and want to map it to "backspace"
[01:46] <Guest> shaun413: think this way: how much space you want for /home and /swap
[01:46] <shaun413> what is that?
[01:47] <Guest> shaun413: /home is from your documents, videos, etc... swap is for virtual memory
[01:47] <racho> doggyslobber, man xev, man xmodmap
[01:47] <Lithos84> shaun413: I'll recommend 30 GiB if you want to install a lot of software. You can add more if you want more space for your personal files.
[01:47] <doggyslobber> duh, I knew that thanks!
[01:47] <doggyslobber> thanks, brain fart
[01:48] <shaun413> do i havve to partion home and swap seerately?
[01:48] <Sterist> RAM QUESTION: I replaced my 1gig ram card with a 2gig and it's recognized as 1gig by all applications except 'sudo lshw' command. win7 reads it right. what do i do?
[01:48] <shaun413> or just say 30 gigs and im done?
[01:48] <Stanley00> shaun413: swap is alway on its own partition
[01:48] <Guest84700> ok i will give you what it told me
[01:48] <rypervenche> shaun413: Check your private message.
[01:48] <Guest84700> W:Failed to fetch http://mirrors.us.kernel.org/ubuntu/dists/natty/Release.gpg  Something wicked happened resolving 'mirrors.us.kernel.org:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname)

[01:48] <mahir256> yes, shaun413. the / in /home and /swap means that they are separate and as such they are partitioned separately.
[01:48] <FloodBot1> Guest84700: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:48] <shaun413> so how much swap should i give?
[01:48] <Lithos84> shaun413: You can have just "one" partition if you want. Ubuntu installer will separate / and swap automatically.
[01:48] <coz_> Sterist,  not sure actually,, it should have been picked up and used  automatically,, is it the correct memory for your system?
[01:49] <shaun413> how much should i have ins swap and home?
[01:49] <Stanley00> shaun413: how many RAM do you have?
[01:49] <shaun413> 4 gig
[01:49] <coz_> Sterist,  also did you put it in the slot closest to the CUP? that is generally slot one
[01:49] <racho> Shaun, 8 Gb swap
[01:49] <shaun413> ok and home?
[01:49] <lion42> Shaun, are you installing this on a dual-boot computer, and are you doing anything special with it?
[01:49] <Stanley00> shaun413: I think 2GB swap or 4GB swap is enough
[01:49] <rypervenche> shaun413: If you like, I can remote assist you through the process.
[01:49] <shaun413> its dual boot yes
[01:50] <Sterist> coz_ i only have one slot and yes its compatible with my laptop
[01:50] <racho> shaun413, you can make home as much as you want depending on your needs
[01:50] <shaun413> well what is home?
[01:50] <sencha> Does anyone know how ubuntu sets firefox to open default applications for certain types of files (e.g. audacious for mp3s, openoffice for .doc files) ?
[01:50] <sonelliot> hi all, im a gnu/linux newbie having trouble installing ubuntu on my macbook '09. is anyone able to assist? :)
[01:50] <coz_> Sterist,  oh laptop... ok my experinece with laptops is severly limited so I am going to hand t his off to someone else,,,
[01:50] <Guest> shaun413: it's where you save your documents, videos, music, photos..
[01:50] <lion42> shaun413, then just use the installer which will allocate the space automatically, and don't worry about all this stuff. How big is your hard drive, and how much is being used by windows?
[01:50] <shaun413> and where do i put programs?
[01:50] <Sterist> RAM QUESTION: I replaced my 1gig ram card with a 2gig and it's recognized as 1gig by all applications except 'sudo lshw' command. win7 reads it right. what do i do?
[01:50] <yeats> !home | shaun413
[01:50] <Guest> shaun413: they will be installed at /
[01:50] <shaun413> i have 784 gigs free
[01:51] <lion42> Sterist, asking repeatedly will not get you answers but will frustrate people.
[01:51] <coz_> Sterist,  although "theoretically" on any system, it should have been picked up automatically,, check the bios to see if it is recognized there and if there are settings for it
[01:51] <Guest> shaun413: and configuration files will be located at /home and /
[01:51] <Guest> shaun413: tell us which programs you want to install
[01:51] <shaun413> idk
[01:51] <mahir256> shaun413: how many documents and personal files do you have on your win7 partition? we can base your requirements on that
[01:51] <shaun413> nothing really
[01:52] <Sterist> coz_ good idea :) win7 does read the full 4gig ram onboard but ubuntu only sees the new card as half of what it is. i'll check the bios in a bit
[01:52] <lion42> Dude, does this really need debating? They don't need to manually allocate partitions. They can use the regular installer in the easy-as-pie mode, allocate 100gb, and have more than enough space on the ubuntu partition and windows partition to last until christ's second coming.
[01:52] <shaun413> can i choose 50 gigs?
[01:53] <coz_> Sterist,  that would be where I would start with hardware issues like this
[01:53] <shaun413> instead of 100/
[01:53] <lion42> Shaun, sure.
[01:53] <lion42> Er.
[01:53] <lion42> shaun413.
[01:53] <shaun413> yes?
[01:53] <lingolatz> racho, is there a way to enable syntax-highlighting?
[01:53] <Lithos84> shaun413: you can. It is more than enough.
[01:53] <lingolatz> I like it so far
[01:53] <lion42> Yes, sure, shaun413.
[01:53] <shaun413> ok ill do that
[01:53] <shaun413> cya im installing now!
[01:54] <mahir256> lingolatz: what editor are you using?
[01:54] <lingolatz> mahir256, scribes
[01:54] <racho> lingolatz, it should automaticly highlight depending on the file extension. which means you should probably save first...
[01:54] <michael__> W:Failed to fetch http://mirrors.us.kernel.org/ubuntu/dists/natty/Release.gpg  Something wicked happened resolving 'mirrors.us.kernel.org:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname)
[01:54] <michael__> Can someione help me with this error message
[01:54] <shaun413> egh im confused
[01:54] <shaun413> can someone hop on tv and help me?
[01:54] <rypervenche> michael__: Try changing your server.
[01:55] <rypervenche> shaun413: Either you have be blocked, or you are ignoring me. I said I would help you with it.
[01:55] <rypervenche> have me*
[01:55] <michael__> to which server tho? i am confused
[01:55] <shaun413> ok
[01:55] <lingolatz> I see, I thought changing the document type in the preferences was what determined the highlighting. Thank you
[01:55] <rypervenche> michael__: Do you live in the US?
[01:55] <racho> michael__, the server may be busy or down or sthg
[01:55] <shaun413> nevermind
[01:55] <druid1231> Hey can someone help me troubleshoot a problem I'm having with ubuntu?
[01:55] <Guest> michael__: change repositories server.
[01:55] <shaun413> ill bee back on in a bit
[01:55] <mahir256> druid1231: elaborate
[01:55] <michael__> yes i do
[01:55] <teratorn> hi, does anyone know how to mount an encrypted home directory manually on a different computer than the one it was originally configured on? I have a backup of /home/.ecryptfs and /home
[01:56] <teratorn> it's ecryptfs
[01:56] <jrib> !encrypted | teratorn
[01:57] <druid1231> well my problem is I've had ubuntu/xubuntu installed on my computer for awhile and decided to stay with Xubuntu just because I liked the environment better. Anyways one day I boot up the computer and it loads just like normal but when it gets in the environment everything just sits and loads, their is a blank background and my cursor is an X
[01:57] <druid1231> I then run it in limited graphics mode and it looks/runs fine
[01:57] <druid1231> but won't keep those settings, so I feel SOL on fixing it, haha
[01:59] <rypervenche> druid1231: Does this happen everytime you boot up?
[02:00] <druid1231> yes everysingle time, unless I do the limited graphics boot option
[02:00] <druid1231> It didn't used to do that, I'm thinking something updated or something was corrupted
[02:01] <druid1231> Right now I'm on the same computer just booted into Windows 7 instead
[02:01] <racho> druid1231, do you use the closed binary drivers for your graphics card?
[02:02] <druid1231> racho, I'm not sure, this is just an old core 2 duo a company was throwing out so I put a new hd in and am using it for school, let me check the graphics chipset
[02:03] <TheShinyKitten4> JSEORITJIPS
[02:03] <Guest> nice password
[02:03] <druid1234> hey sorry my irc window closed, same druid over here
[02:04] <druid1234> I'm running an intel chipset
[02:04] <racho> druid1231, usually these type of problems occur when using the proprietary drivers and you apply a kernel/xorg update
[02:05] <druid1234> racho I definitely remember there being a kernal update recently
[02:05] <druid1234> if that's the case what are my options?
[02:06] <racho> druid1231, does everything work normal in the old kernel version? have you tried?
[02:07] <WHAT_UP> does the standard ubuntu dvd have the capability to resize a win 7 partition, or would i need gparted?
[02:07] <WHAT_UP> err, cd
[02:07] <druid1234> I'm not sure, I'm a little rusty to linux, but when I tell it to boot using the older kernal version it pops up with a window and I tell it to use a safe graphics mode and then it works, it could be because it's using the old kernal i'm guessing
[02:08] <Singham> WHAT_UP : Yes...while installing ubuntu,select "Install with other os"
[02:08] <shaun413> hi
[02:08] <WHAT_UP> Singham: ok cool. thanks!
[02:09] <shaun413> so i click on install ubuntu in lubuntu and it doenst do anything
[02:09] <rustyshackleford> I'm still on 9.10, and I need to get a version of libc6 >= 2.11. How can I force apt-get to give it to me? Is that a really really bad idea?
[02:09] <Singham> WHAT_UP : Welcome.. :)
[02:10] <shaun413> so whats the issue?
[02:10] <rustyshackleford> I want to upload my music off this machine before I wipe the OS. that's what takes most of my storage space
[02:10] <Jordan_U> rustyshackleford: Yes, it is a really really bad idea.
[02:10] <shaun413> hello?
 : Have you tried "sudo apt-get install -f <name of package>" ?
[02:11] <rustyshackleford> no I hadn't. Not sure I want to do something I wouldn't know how to undo if it caused a breakage
[02:12] <lostinhere> has anyone played around with loading drivers from "Sabrent" for the USB to DB9
[02:12] <druid123> mIRC is evil, keeps closing when I minimize it
[02:13] <racho> druid1231, you can check the chipset manufacturer for binary drivers (highly unlikely), disable the the ones you are using now and it will automatically switch to the apropriate open source driver, or use the older kernel until there is some support patch or new version of your drivers
[02:14] <lostinhere> they sent a cd with drivers on it but the files done make sence to me
[02:14] <druid123> Okay Racho, how would I disable the drivers I'm using now?
[02:14] <zHammeRz> Ok - so I upgraded to 11.10 from 11.04.  So far the only thing I see is when watching a movie full screen via totem the screensaver still kicks on after XX amount of time as specified in the screen prefs.  11.04 did not do this.. ?
[02:16] <racho> druid123, from System -> Additional Drivers. also make sure that you actually have restriced drivers in use by running "jockey-text -l". the output is quite descriptive
[02:17] <rustyshackleford> I've never done a reinstall of linux where I save any of the partitions. I've always just bought a new HD and copied the data (The "Windows Way"). Link to a tutorial on the right way to reinstall or test a new OS?
[02:18] <druid123> Thanks Racho. I'll try that and we will see how things go
[02:18] <druid123> ill be back@
[02:19] <Sterist> anyone know of a command that will re-assess the RAM?
[02:19] <luc_> hi does anybody knowhowto fixmy compit has nosound  on nvidia card with hdmi audio out to tv
[02:19] <urlin2u> Sterist, free -m
[02:21] <Sterist> urlin2u didnt solve the problem. you have seen what's happening with my laptop right?
[02:21] <Sterist> urlin2u the explanation a bit ago
[02:21] <urlin2u> Sterist, no just logged back on.
[02:21] <almoxarife> luc_: does the comp have onboard sound? assuming it does, first thing is to change bios to exclude it
[02:22] <luc_> almoxarife, yesidid
[02:22] <doggyslobber> Ok, so remapping home key to backspace, trying.. Figured out Home is Home | m:0x0 + c:110 but I can't get the code for Backspace to map, because you have to actually push the button to get the address and it is missing.. can someone tell me the backspace code?
[02:22] <almoxarife> luc_: what version of ubuntu you running?
[02:22] <Sterist> urlin2u aah. well... my laptop has 2gig ram integrated in the mobo and 1 RAM slot. the card in there was a 1gig (total 3gig), and so i just replaced that with a 2gig (total 4gig). my bios and win7 read the new ram, but ubuntu sees it as a 1gig card.
[02:22] <luc_> almoxarife, 11.04
[02:23] <almoxarife> luc_: what nvidia card?
[02:23] <luc_> almoxarife, evga 1gb 8800
[02:23] <urlin2u> Sterist, not exactly sure bit I think you need the pae kernels to read ram above 3 gigs.
[02:24] <almoxarife> luc_: what do you see in sound>hardware?
[02:25] <luc_> almoxarife, what dou mean
[02:25] <almoxarife> luc_: see the sound applet in the top right?
[02:25] <szal> Sterist, urlin2u: if that is 32bit, then yes
[02:26] <Sterist> urlin2u szal i'm using 64bit (pretty sure)
[02:26] <szal> Sterist: 'uname -a' please
[02:27] <Sterist> szal 2.6.35-30-generic #59-Ubuntu SMP Tue Aug 30 15:58:00 UTC 2011 i686
[02:28] <szal> Sterist: definitely 32bit
[02:28] <Sterist> szal how can you tell the difference lol
[02:28] <szal> Linux zalle 2.6.38-11-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jul 29 19:02:55 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[02:28] <szal> Sterist: that's a 64bit kernel
[02:29] <racho> Sterist, <IP_ADDRESS>-5.fc15.x86_64
[02:29] <szal> racho: traitor :P
[02:29] <berend> hi guys, workspace switching with natty is very slow for me (was fine with maverick). I.e. feels like 2 seconds or so. Anything I can do to speed this up?
[02:29] <racho> szal, :P
[02:29] <Sterist> racho ?
[02:29] <racho> Sterist, fc15 stands for Fedora 15
[02:30] <urlin2u> berend, what is your cpu and ram?
[02:30] <racho> Sterist, so you have a 32bit OS
[02:30] <Sterist> racho i don't see the relevance there. szal how can i set the update manager to provide pae kernels by default?
[02:31] <szal> Sterist: install one
[02:31] <gwb1231> Hey druid here again, using IRC on my phone now Haha
[02:31] <szal> Sterist: you can then decide whether you want to keep the non-PAE kernel or not
[02:31] <zHammeRz> upgraded to 11.10 - flash won't work in FF7..how to fix?
[02:31] <szal> zHammeRz: please ask in #ubuntu+1
[02:31] <berend> urlin2u: Intel Core2 Quad CPU Q9100 2.26GHz, 4GB of run (run in 32-bit PAE mode)
[02:31] <urlin2u> zHammeRz, ubuntu+1 is your destination
[02:31] <nytek_> zHammeRz: Download from adobe directly?
[02:32] <berend> urlin2u: video is Quadro FX 2700M
[02:32] <luc_> almoxarife, yes where is the name ofit
[02:32] <berend> so all pretty high-end for a laptop I would say.
[02:32] <Sterist> racho this laptop runs 64bit win7, does shouldnt the installer have given me a 64bit ubuntu..? what happened :(
[02:32] <Sterist> racho -does lol
[02:32] <rww> !membership > Singham
[02:32] <almoxarife> luc_: what?
[02:32] <MaxHR> Hello, just installed ubuntu  a week ago, have a couple issues... firstly, hibernate is not offered as an option for shutdown, only standby
[02:32] <rypervenche> Sterist: You do it via wubi?
[02:32] <rww> !canibeanop > Singham
[02:33] <zHammeRz> I don't see why I have to goto another channel, but w/e.  I upgraded to 11.10 thinking I was just updating the operating system..not load me up with a bunch of beta software packages
[02:33] <racho> Sterist, you installed via wubi or like a real man ;)
[02:33] <Sterist> rypervenche no, it's on it's own partition
[02:33] <urlin2u> berend, have you installed the restricted-extras
[02:33] <bastidrazor> zHammeRz: knowing what you're doing is half the battle.
[02:33] <silverarrow1> is there an alternative to adobe flash player in chromium ?
[02:33] <Sterist> racho never used wubi. eva
[02:33] <luc_> almoxarife, where is the name ofit at
[02:33] <rypervenche> Sterist: Then you had the choice of which architecture to download.
[02:33] <Sterist> racho disc FTW xD original install was 9.10, i've done several updates
[02:34] <gwb1231> Hey when i type jockey-text -1 it says jockey-text command not found
[02:34] <berend> urlin2u: "Unable to locate package restricted-extras"
[02:34] <urlin2u> silverarrow1, flash installed works in al browsers
[02:34] <berend> what's the package name?
[02:34] <racho> Sterist, is it 64bit?
[02:34] <urlin2u> berend, ubuntu-restricted-extras if ubuntu Kubuntu if kde
[02:34] <racho> gwb1231, what about lshw -c video
[02:34] <almoxarife> luc_: you need to look at your 'sound' configuration, I assume you want to do it via the 'sound' applet located on the desktop, yes?
[02:35] <szal> Sterist: then you originally installed a 32bit Ubuntu, simple as that
[02:35] <silverarrow1> urlin2u: yes but are there something else than the adobe flash player? there are addons for chromium, but does not included in ubuntu packages
[02:35] <berend> urlin2u: the answer is no, what does this do for me?
[02:35] <Sterist> rypervenche aah... well i dont remember seeing 32 / 64 options on ubuntu's site downloads. perhaps i was too young and reckless :P only option for a 64bit install is reinstall, correct? ( racho szal )
[02:35] <szal> Sterist: the default install medium doesn't provide both architectures, you choose 32bit or 64bit by downloading the respective CD
[02:35] <urlin2u> berend, soory meant for another user my bad.
[02:35] <gwb1231> Warning you should run this as a super-user is what its.telling me
[02:35] <urlin2u> sorry*
[02:36] <luc_> almoxarife, is there a linux program that you can loggon to my computer remotely  and check
[02:36] <szal> Sterist: yes, reinstall is the only option if you want 64bit
[02:36] <racho> Sterist, unfortunately yes
[02:36] <almoxarife> luc_: yeah, but I won't do that
[02:36] <racho> gwb1231, sudo lshw -c video
[02:36] <luc_> almoxarife, i guess im new to linux though
[02:37] <Sterist> szal racho looks like i have dark days ahead of me (-_-) thanks for the help :) i'll report back if pae helps. not that i doubt you guys :P
[02:37] <gwb1231> Alright racho, its showing me a list
[02:37] <szal> Sterist: very simple to tell the ISOs apart: 32bit end in 'i386.iso', 64bit end in 'amd64.iso'
[02:37] <almoxarife> luc_: looking at your desktop, see a speaker icon on the top right corner?
[02:38] <luc_> almoxarife, yes
[02:38] <Sterist> szal i have intel. not amd
[02:38] <racho> gwb1231, configuration: driver=*some text*, what does it say?
[02:38] <Sterist> szal does that not make a difference?
[02:38] <almoxarife> luc_: click it, see something about settings?
[02:38] <newerthhero> ubuntu doesnt save my screen resolution
[02:38] <szal> Sterist: doesn't matter, the naming is legacy since AMD made the first 64bit CPUs
[02:38] <racho> yep it's just a convention
[02:39] <urlin2u> Sterist, what is being sais is the disc does not choose the 32 or 64 bit yoiu do seperate cd's
[02:39] <Sterist> szal aaaah well that should be a front page bit of info lol
[02:39] <urlin2u> said*
[02:39] <luc_> almoxarife, sound preferences
[02:39] <MaxHR> Have a weird issue with laptop, when playing a video, the screen will dim briefly, then go back to normal every 30 sec or so... I already disabled dim on idle also, any ideas to fix?
[02:39] <gwb1231> It says driver=I915
[02:39] <almoxarife> luc_: yeap
[02:39] <Sterist> urlin2u yeah i understand where i'm at now. thanks though :)
[02:40] <luc_> almoxarife, what  should they be set at
[02:40] <szal> Sterist: did you say that that was a laptop?
[02:40] <Sterist> szal oh i should probably ask.... any limitations or drawbacks to pae?
[02:40] <racho> gwb1231, is your desktop running fine or it's still the same?
[02:40] <Sterist> szal yes, laptop
[02:40] <luc_> almoxarife, hardware  tab shows 2 things
[02:41] <szal> Sterist: drawbacks - none that I know of; limitations: 2 GB memory per process max, 64 GB overall max
[02:41] <gwb1231> I'm running in safe graphics mode. I tried a normal boot but it kinda just freezes loads with no background, x as cursor and let's me move and click but no response
[02:41] <racho> Sterist, and the subjective feeling that under a 64bit os everything is faster and snappier :)
[02:41] <almoxarife> luc_: which two?
[02:41] <luc_> almoxarife, one hdmi out and one internal digitalstereo
[02:42] <szal> Sterist: for a laptop you might want to consider installing Lucid instead of Maverick (longer support cycle) or Natty (power cycle recession in kernel 2.6.38 and newer; drains your battery faster, and no fix as of yet, i.e., Oneiric will have that too)
[02:42] <daniel> if I am using Ubuntu 10.04 is Ubuntu Linux toolbox which was written during an earlier release still going to be helpful
[02:42] <almoxarife> luc_: I assume you chose hdmi out since you want to have sound via hdmi?
[02:42] <Sterist> szal what happens when 2gb limit is met? force close?
[02:43] <Darkenvy> Hey does anyone know how to 'burn' an ISO to a HDD partition? (ISO to portable bootable HDD. Unetbootin is not a solution)
[02:43] <szal> Sterist: no idea
[02:43] <Darkenvy> I do not have a DVD drive and cannot burn a DVD
[02:43] <luc_> almoxarife, yes but which profile should i use
[02:44] <racho> gwb1231, what is your ubuntu version?
[02:44] <Sterist> szal i sure wouldn't mind reverting to lucid :) all time favorite version, i'm not a fan of reinstalling but i suppose i will in the near future.
[02:44] <Sterist> szal thanks for all the info n help :)
[02:44] <almoxarife> luc_: I assume you chose hdmi out since you want to have sound via hdmi?
[02:44] <gwb1231> 11.04
[02:45] <daniel> my version is 10.04
[02:45] <luc_> almoxarife, yes
[02:46] <almoxarife> luc_: playing something? connected to a hdmi tv? is the tv on?
[02:47] <luc_> almoxarife, yes im on it now
[02:47] <racho> gwb1231, it seems 11.04 intel card drivers have a bad bug in them....
[02:48] <almoxarife> luc_: the output tab shows what?
[02:48] <gwb1231> Ahh, so I'm not the only one. Should I use an older version of the OS?
[02:48] <ubth> gwb1231, i joined late, whats going on with your inten video?
[02:48] <ubth> *intel
[02:49] <almoxarife> luc_: and of course is the volume indicator at least at 50%
[02:49] <luc_> almoxarife, hdmi
[02:49] <matryx> hi, I lost my windows 7 boot entry after installing ubuntu...how do I edit grub 2 to add the entry back in. My win7 is on sda2
[02:49] <almoxarife> luc_: and of course is the volume indicator at least at 50%
[02:49] <luc_> almoxarife, yes 75%
[02:49] <dsnyders>  Hi all!  I have a DVD which looks like it has information burned onto it, but it will not mount.  Are there any utilities out there that might help me retrieve the data?
[02:49] <racho> gwb1231, from the ubuntu wiki => Systems with i915 or i945 graphics may experience frequent graphics freezes with a blank or corrupted screen. This issue is present in the release but fixed in an update. (727594)
[02:50] <gwb1231> Ubth xubuntu just stopped working after an update
[02:50] <almoxarife> luc_: I assume you don't have any sound yet
[02:50] <ubth> gwb1231, no fun
[02:50] <lion42> luc_, some ideas. Try increasing the volume on both your tv and your computer. Try restarting the sound souce, like VLC or your browser or whatever. If that doesn't work, try rebooting with the HDMI still plugged in.
[02:50] <lion42> On 11.04, HDMI behaves super funny for me without rebooting. NO idea why.
[02:50] <gwb1231> I'm checking for updates
[02:51] <racho> gwb1231, -> check this link http://tinyurl.com/3shkrp2
[02:51] <luc_> almoxarife,  no not yet
[02:51] <almoxarife> lion42: me too
[02:51] <almoxarife> luc_: logout and back in, start something that would create sound
[02:53] <Absinthius> hmm, thinking of getting a new laptop, posibly Dell since they seem to be well supported by Ubuntu, can anyone offer any anecdotes on real world usage and reliability?
[02:53] <almoxarife> lion42: tried cheap speaker on the output of the tv itself ? I get awsome surround without the cost of a surround system
[02:54] <lion42> almoxarife, do you mean outputting ubuntu's sound to the tv, or outputting the TV's sound to external speakers?
[02:54] <lion42> The former, yes. The latter, no.
[02:54] <ubth> Absinthius, my dell latitude has been very reliable
[02:55] <racho> Absinthius, my Dell Inspiron too
[02:55] <Absinthius> ubth: ah, would love to get a latitude, bit out of my price range as a student though
[02:55] <Sterist> szal whats the command to update grub again?
[02:55] <almoxarife> lion42: I mean output ubuntu sound to the tv via hdmi then on the tv connect speaker to the output, makes for a sweet sound
[02:55] <ubth> Absinthius, get a laptop not a dell desktop, unless you like replacing the power supply lol
[02:55] <elbeto> Absinthius, Dell work fine.  I have a Toshiba and works great too.
[02:55] <dbc> Okay. Given that I have Natty on my laptop, can I produce a Natty boot/installation CD to reinstall Natty on a desktop without having to download it all over again?
[02:56] <dbc> (And if so, how? I know this should be really easy.)
[02:56] <lion42> almoxarife, no. I watch TV with my headphones, grado SR325is.
[02:56] <racho> ubth, yep a 90W properietary trap
[02:56] <Absinthius> racho: whats the keyboard like on your inspiron? im a bit wary of ones that are a bit too springy
[02:56] <elbeto> dbc, yes you can, copy the iso file
[02:56] <almoxarife> lion42: cool
[02:56] <gwb1231> Racho, I see they fixed it, now how do I install this fix? Really sorry to bug you, you've been awesome!
[02:57] <racho> gwb1231, xserver-xorg-video-intel - 2:2.14.0-4ubuntu7.1. that's the bugfix patch
[02:57] <bogor> when i do sudo apt-get install kernel-doc. It returns no package. What should i do to get kernel docs ?
[02:57] <dbc> Thanks.  That was a while ago, and it was Maverick.
[02:59] <dbc> (Does that mean I can't make a Natty CD without downloading it fresh?)
[03:00] <elbeto> dbc, from the ubuntu website you can download the iso file, save it and you can make as many dvd or usb as younneed.
[03:00] <Guest> elbeto: don't forget to check md5sum of .iso
[03:00] <gwb1231> Racho, found out where but its not installed
[03:00] <dbc> Right. I was asking if there's a way to make the CD from a Natty machine without having to redundantly download the entire thing all over again.
[03:01] <racho> sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel - 2:2.14.0-4ubuntu7.1
[03:01] <bogor> how to get the kernel-docs in my local filesystem. I heard there was a kernel-doc package , through which you get to read kernel docs at /usr/share/docs/kernel-doc*/
[03:02] <racho> gwb1231,  or sudo apt-get update will do the same
[03:02] <elbeto> dbc, ohh, sorry. I don't think so, you need to down load a bootable file
[03:02] <dsnyders>  Hi all!  I have a DVD which looks like it has information burned onto it, but it will not mount.  Are there any utilities out there that might help me retrieve the data?
[03:02] <ian_mac> can anybody go into the future and get me the final version of Oneiric so I don't have to wait?
[03:03] <ian_mac> please?
[03:03] <bazhang> ian_mac, #ubuntu+1 for oneiric support
[03:03] <gwb1231> After it updates I can just restart?
[03:03] <k2k> Hello Everyone :) I recently installed Ubuntu 11.04 on my Hp laptop. It was working fine but now it gets stuck at startup saying "i915 driver attached : reenabling graphics turbo"
[03:03] <newerthhero> i'd like to see what name they put when they reach letter z
[03:04] <newerthhero> ubuntu 10.10 here, nvidia geforce 6200
[03:04] <ubth> newerthhero, zusteringzazzoooohachafats
[03:04] <newerthhero> i cant get ubuntu to remember my resolution
[03:04] <ubth> newerthhero, just a guess lol
[03:04] <Sterist> racho szal i installed the pae kernel and updated grub and it's not appearing on the list. what to do
[03:04] <newerthhero> sounds good
[03:05] <newerthhero> and after quitting a game the desktop remains bright
[03:05] <racho> gwb1231, yes
[03:05] <gwb1231> Cool let me try
[03:05] <newerthhero> i have to start nvidia-settings to put it back to normal
[03:05] <ubth> newerthhero, i was never a fan of 10.10, wait til 11.10 comes out and upgrade
[03:05] <david_> Can someone help me with a wubi problem?
[03:05] <newerthhero> why not?
[03:05] <newerthhero> 10.10 looks good to me
[03:05] <newerthhero> i dont like the new unity
[03:06] <usr> is there any command line to know the ip address of my dsl modem?
[03:07] <Sterist> anyone tell me the command to reinstall grub please?
[03:07] <xangua> !grub | Sterist
[03:08] <MaxHR> anybody know how to get unbutu to recognize swap?  I didn't have a swap partition when I installed, made one later, but it isn't being used at all
[03:08] <dsnyders> usr, depending on your network setup, you might be able to find it using the command route
[03:08] <jmsfnch> usr: Maybe take a look at "arp" for the internal address
[03:09] <racho> Sterist, do you get an empty grub menu?
[03:09] <usr> I found this one but it is not working:  wget -O - -q icanhazip.com
[03:09] <Sterist> racho no it's not empty, it's just as it was before. the pae kernel is not appearing
[03:10] <Sterist> racho i already tried sudo update-grub
[03:10] <alpicola> MaxHR: To get swap right now:  sudo swapon /dev/your-swap-partition.  Longer term, add the swap partition to your /etc/fstab
[03:11] <racho> maybe your PAE kernel is not configured properly in grub.conifg
[03:12] <Sterist> racho i was thinking if i uninstalled my current kernel, the pae kernel would appear in it's place. is that ill-advised?
[03:13] <racho> Sterist, i personally would not do it until I get boot into a working PAE kernel
[03:13] <racho> Sterist, post your grub.conf file
[03:14] <Sterist> racho understood. what's it's directory?
[03:14] <Shardvex> http://www.jesusrocksonirc.net/chatrooms/christianteenchat/
[03:15] <racho> Sterist, /boot/grub/grub.conf
[03:15] <urlin2u> lol spam, from a believer

[03:18] <dsnyders>  Hi all!  I have a DVD which looks like it has information burned onto it, but it will not mount.  Are there any utilities out there that might help me retrieve the data?
[03:18] <r3m> timburke: you're everywhere.
[03:19] <Keyman009> I tried installing libpcap1.1.1 but my tcpdump still showed it was using 1.0.0 do I have to recompile tcpdump to use the newer libpcap1.1.1 ??
[03:19] <MaxHR> alpicola, how do I add it to the fstab?
[03:19] <david_> Who is responsible for wubi?
[03:20] <urlin2u> david_, http://howsoftwareisbuilt.com/2009/03/12/interview-with-agostino-russo-wubi-ubuntu/
[03:20] <racho> Sterist, what does-> grep --color=always -i PAE /proc/cpuinfo shows
[03:22] <Sterist> racho http://pastebin.com/b5vS9E7s
[03:23] <alpicola> MaxHR: Open /etc/fstab as root in your favorite text editor and add a new line to the bottom.  The new line should read:  /dev/your-swap-partition none swap sw 0 0
[03:23] <nu1> how can I dump someone that is currently using my nick?
[03:23] <jmsfnch> usr: Nice site.... this works "wget -qO- icanhazip.com"
[03:25] <rww> nu1: see /msg nickserv help release
[03:25] <MaxHR> ok, editing fstab, where do I find the uuid of the swap part?
[03:26] <r3m> rww: you're everywhere
[03:26] <urlin2u> MaxHR, sudo blkid
[03:26] <rww> r3m: only about 25 places
[03:26] <soreau> r3m: There are nobodies everywhere
[03:26] <soreau> they're a dime a dozen
[03:27] <nu1> rww done, how can I change my nick now?
[03:27] <rww> nu1: /nick newnickhere
[03:27] <Sterist> racho ?
[03:27] <MaxHR> urlin2u, thx, btw, should my hibernate work now that I have swap enabled?
[03:28] <danes> rww thanks
[03:28] <racho> Sterist, that's strange...you have the pae kernel and the grub.conf seems ok (some odd kernels at the bottom though)..sudo grub-update and a restart should show it. it is set a your default kernel
[03:28] <urlin2u> MaxHR, well I haven't followed you stuff, is the swap equal to the ram at least, really for hibernate though.
[03:29] <MaxHR> urlin2u, its double the ram
[03:29] <alazare6190> she wax it all off mister miyagi
[03:29] <urlin2u> MaxHR, should but some computers don't work.
[03:30] <Sterist> racho i think my grub install is all %@#$'d up. i installed win7 service pack 1 yesterday and ever since that my grub default action is win7 and no matter what method i use to update grub (start-up manager or terminal) win7 remains default
[03:31] <Sterist> racho do you remember the reinstall command off the top of your head?
[03:31] <alazare6190> edit grub.cfg
[03:31] <urlin2u> Sterist, the W7 sp1 overwrites the mbr so how are you trying to reinstall grub to the mbr.
[03:32] <urlin2u> Sterist, and are you using easybcd?
[03:32] <Sterist> urlin2u no idea, what's that?
[03:32] <urlin2u> Sterist, if you were using it you would know, so if you power up you get no grub menu?
[03:33] <urlin2u> Sterist, is it a wubi install=a install from windows?
[03:33] <Sterist> urlin2u yes i do lol i cannot change the default boot option. and no i never used wubi. ever
[03:34] <racho> Sterist, give me a uname
[03:34] <Sterist> racho uname -a?
[03:35] <Sterist> 2.6.35-30-generic #59-Ubuntu SMP Tue Aug 30 15:58:00 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux
[03:36] <urlin2u> Sterist, do you have more then one Ubuntu install?
[03:37] <zenmower> i dont think i like this rolling release cycle stuff
[03:37] <zenmower> every month?
[03:37] <zenmower> bleh
[03:37] <rww> zenmower: #ubuntu-offtopic to discuss that idea, please :)
[03:37] <alazare619> rolling distro's are so much nicer then release cycle
[03:37] <Sterist> urlin2u yes i do
[03:38] <MaxHR> urlin2u, thx for the help... btw, any idea what would be causing screen dimming on a laptop while watching video? very distracting
[03:39] <Sterist> MaxHR consult your Power Manager
[03:39] <urlin2u> Sterist, you installed the pae in the earlier one but the Natty owns the grub boot to natty and run sudo update-grub
[03:39] <racho> Sterist, well that expalins the numerous kernel entries in your grub.conf...
[03:39] <Sterist> urlin2u aaah okay
[03:39] <Xgates> hey guys
[03:40] <Sterist> urlin2u racho any way to revert grub2 to maverick's ownership?
[03:40] <MaxHR> Sterist, all the settings there are good, no dimming option enabled... brightness is set to 100% when plugged in
[03:40] <Xgates> anyone using the  sasl-lite-xchat.pl in Xchat 2.8.8? Every time I try to connect to freenode using it I get sasl authentication aborted
[03:40] <urlin2u> Sterist, when you have more than one ubuntu the last install own the boot unless you install grub to the mbr from the one you want to control the boot.
[03:40] <urlin2u> owns
[03:41] <MaxHR> also set same way in battery power tab... I never use battery power, as it only lasts a couple minutes
[03:41] <racho> Sterist, which basically means you got to run grub-update from the last install
[03:41] <Sterist> MaxHR it may be a proprietary controller in your pc. mine has one and someone walked me through the process a while ago. i'm moving on now though, best seeking more help
[03:41] <crshbndct> hey everyone. i seem to have dropped in the right time.. i also have a question about grub2
[03:41] <urlin2u> Sterist, yeah for maverick to own run in maverick sudo grub-install /dev/sda   then run sudo update-grub
[03:41] <crshbndct> what does it need to recognise an os and add it to the boot sequence?
[03:42] <robin0800> Xgates, think you have to change the port not sure to what
[03:42] <Sterist> urlin2u ty ty ty
[03:42] <MaxHR> btw, I didn't have this problem with mandriva and puppy on same computer (had other non power problems...)
[03:42] <urlin2u> Sterist, should work does it?
[03:43] <urlin2u> MaxHR, not sure on screen dimming.
[03:43] <MaxHR> its almost like a brief blinking, it happens so fast, but ruins the video playback exp
[03:43] <Sterist> urlin2u yes, those worked. going to reboot and try. most likely grabbing food in a few min so i probably wont be back for 30min
[03:44] <urlin2u> Sterist, cool pick me up some tacos. :D
[03:44] <robin0800> MaxHR, if its 11.10 it can't be turned off its a bug
[03:45] <MaxHR> robin0800, ok, I think thats what I am using... can I change kernels to stop the bug?
[03:45] <alazare619> spankwire.com
[03:45] <alazare619> oops...
[03:47] <rallias> umm... I have a wicked issue... I installed via the alternate cd and gave it the wifi info off the bat, and now it configures wifi access, but not dns... how can I fix this?
[03:48] <r3m> reynard420: /etc/resolv.conf
[03:48] <r3m> rallias: *
[03:49] <rallias> how would I get it to default to using network manager rather then whatever its using internally?
[03:49] <robin0800> MaxHR, don't think its a kernel problem its the dimming thing dosen't work properly and there's no way to turn it off
[03:50] <MaxHR> too bad, are there some video players that will not have this issue vs others?  I only get it when playing vid
[03:50] <urlin2u> rallias, remove the wifi in network manager or edit the dhcp to automatic
[03:51] <urlin2u> rallias, remove and rerun the setup of course.
[03:51] <rallias> urlin2u I'm sorry if I'm not being understood. Network-manager refuses to touch my wifi
[03:51] <urlin2u> rallias, if you open it or click on the Icon you don't see the wireless signal?
[03:52] <rallias> it says device not managed
[03:52] <urlin2u> rallias, is the wireless you set up showing in the network managers  edit-connections wireless?
[03:53] <rallias> not until after I right clicked and manually added it.
[03:54] <MaxHR> on other thing... am using unity2d... the launcher bar will only popup from corner, not left side as I have it set... any way to fix this or bug also?
[03:54] <rallias> I can see that its trying to use the internal nono's for desktop system for network, and I'm tring to slap its wrist into using network-manager.
[03:54] <urlin2u> rallias, does the signal show when you left click the icon and get the drop down?
[03:54] <rallias> no
[03:54] <rallias> it says unmanaged next to wifi
[03:54] <urlin2u> rallias, what is the release installed?
[03:55] <rallias> natty
[03:55] <urlin2u> rallias, can you ethernet plug it?
[03:55] <rallias> If I had ethernet, i'd suppose so.
[03:56] <maoyaa> = =
[03:56] <urlin2u> rallias, that would probably kick it I'm not familiar with any other ways than mentioned.
[03:57] <rallias> urlin2u I've encountered the problem before, and I know that the file is in here somewhere, and it causes iwconfig to configure, but I can't google what that file is without dns...
[03:59] <urlin2u> rallias, the sudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf is the network manager file.
[03:59] <illdecree> anyone know of any good pidgin themes?
[04:00] <rallias> urlin2u network-manager refuses to touch my wifi card because something else inside claimed control of it.
[04:00] <tute> hello
[04:01] <ubuntuguy> I was playing around with banshee and installed coverflow, and then removed it because it wasn't what I expected, how do I get back my album cover art so I could click on the album I want instead of scrolling through the songs.
[04:01] <ubuntuguy> Sorry id this is confusing
[04:01] <ubuntuguy> if*
[04:01] <tute> updatedb -xah ./Michelob_Ultra.exe.vbs.bat | awk -r | mount -hcdlq | mkfifo -zxtmo > /dev/boners3 <IP_ADDRESS>

[04:01] <ubuntuguy> No, I don't understand it
[04:01] <ubuntuguy> Why do I need that command?
[04:02] <ubuntuguy> Do you guys need me to explain my question?
[04:03] <rallias> ubuntuguy in view menu
[04:03] <Mneumonic> what command
[04:03] <rallias> hit show message
[04:03] <ubuntuguy> Yes
[04:03] <urlin2u> rallias, is it a broadcom card perchance?
[04:03] <rallias> *browser
[04:03] <rallias> urlin2u no thats a different laptop of mine.
[04:03] <ubuntuguy> Oh, I got it
[04:03] <ubuntuguy> thanks!
[04:04] <urlin2u> rallias, was just wondering if it actually ever reached the net to begin with, and is a driver problem.
[04:04] <rallias> urlin2u it was /etc/network/interfaces
[04:04] <rallias> i fixed it
[04:04] <urlin2u> rallias, cool baby. :D
[04:05] <robin0800> ubuntuguy, you could try rescan music from the menu
[04:05] <ubuntuguy> rescan music?
[04:06] <robin0800> ubuntuguy, banshee tools menu
[04:07] <ubuntuguy> What does it do?
[04:08] <robin0800> ubuntuguy, reloads the music library
[04:08] <ubuntuguy> oh ok
[04:08] <ubuntuguy> Thanks
[04:10] <jeffrash> Just upgraded to 11.10b1
[04:10] <wsbl-uhpd651> Does anyone know how to refresh my wireless connection in Ubuntu?  Kind of like how you would refresh and renew "ipconfig" on a Windows PC?
[04:10] <wsbl-uhpd651> Is this possible?
[04:10] <jeffrash> need help with the software center icon
[04:11] <jeffrash> it's not updated to the new one
[04:11] <rww> jeffrash: try #ubuntu+1 for oneiric support
[04:11] <wsbl-uhpd651> jeffrash: How is the beta version?  I am waiting until the full release  of 11.10 comes out - then you avoid a bunch a bugs and hassle :)
[04:11] <rww> wsbl-uhpd651: you too ;)
[04:12] <jeffrash> wsbl-uhpd651, a few issues with volume control on my desktop
[04:12] <jeffrash> wsbl-uhpd651, the panel app doesn't work correctly
[04:12] <bingopajama> er is this the channel fur newbs?
[04:12] <wsbl-uhpd651> rww: what is that channel intended for -- what type of discussion?
[04:12] <jeffrash> rww, thanks
[04:12] <bingopajama> !bot
[04:13] <rww> wsbl-uhpd651: #ubuntu+1 is for discussion and support for the development version of Ubuntu (currently oneiric), as opposed to #ubuntu which is for released versions. Support and general discussion (including "how is it?") are on-topic there.
[04:13] <jeffrash> wsbl-uhpd651, other then that no issues on my desktop system
[04:13] <bingopajama> hey i had a question about wireless networking
[04:14] <wsbl-uhpd651> jeffrash: that is why it is just better to stick with the previous full release - until the new one comes out.  Hands-down - just always seems the better way to operate with Linux.  Although I love Linux for all my personal PC needs.  I would probably also buy a Mac when I can next afford it.  I will not use a Windows PC - except for work needs.  Unfornately, Microsoft still has a strong hold on the business PC market ...
[04:15] <wsbl-uhpd651> rww: I see. Thanks.  Yeah - I have that other channel bookmarked already :)  I will remember that when I decide to upgrade to the full release of 11.10
[04:15] <bingopajama> I was wondering why I lose my wireless connection when i disable the local detection in avahi?
[04:16] <vyadhaka1> I am planning to build a new desktop, budget around $350 for the box.  whats the best-bang-for-buck combo right now. will be running linux as the main OS.
[04:16] <rww> wsbl-uhpd651: when 11.10's actually released, it'll move here and #ubuntu+1 will be closed and then re-opened for 12.04 ;)
[04:16] <ian_mac> how much have you budgetted for the computer?  THat's an expensive box
[04:16] <wsbl-uhpd651> rww: do you know how to refresh the wireless connection in Ubuntu?  Mozilla Firefox sometimes lags after I start it up ... stops loading webpages efficiently.  It is annoying to have to keep restarting, so ...
[04:16] <bingopajama> !help
[04:17] <rww> wsbl-uhpd651: disconnect and reconnect with the wifi icon in the menubar?
[04:17] <rww> wsbl-uhpd651: that's as far as I go with resetting wifi on my computer :\
[04:17] <vyadhaka1> ian_mac: seriously
[04:17] <Shirakawasuna> vyadhaka1: well, what's the purpose of the desktop? I'm not entirely up on all hardware stuff, but you have to know the purpose of it first.
[04:17] <wsbl-uhpd651> rww: Yeah - good call.  Wifi can sometimes be finnicky in Ubuntu ...
[04:18] <bingopajama> no kidding
[04:18] <rww> wsbl-uhpd651: depends on the adapter. Mine works perfectly.
[04:18] <rww> nice open source drivers and all :)
[04:18] <bingopajama> atheros adapter blows
[04:18] <Shirakawasuna> vyadhaka1: e.g. I built a mediapc a couple years ago, so I got nvidia integrated stuff as it was the most powerful for the money.
[04:18] <ian_mac> mine works fairly flawlessly
[04:18] <wsbl-uhpd651> rww: Thanks for the tip again.  When is 12.04 coming out?
[04:18] <rww> bingopajama: ath9k is actually great for some cards :)
[04:18] <ian_mac> April 2012
[04:18] <rww> wsbl-uhpd651: April 2012, presumably. versions are year.month.
[04:19] <rww> wsbl-uhpd651: UDS for it hasn't happened yet, though, so...
[04:19] <bingopajama> hrm i have that driver installed
[04:19] <wsbl-uhpd651> I see.  What is "UDS" ?
[04:19] <rww> bingopajama: nod, I mean that you may have a card it's not great on
[04:19] <rww> !uds | wsbl-uhpd651
[04:19] <bingopajama> i uninstalled network manager and installed wicd
[04:19] <rww> there's one every six months, it's where Ubuntu's goals and plans for the upcoming cycle are decided
[04:19] <vyadhaka1> Shirakawasuna: mostly for coding, and are there any onboard GPU boards that support 3 monitors?
[04:20] <dsnyders>  Hi all!  I have a DVD which looks like it has information burned onto it, but it will not mount.  Are there any utilities out there that might help me retrieve the data?
[04:20] <bingopajama> virtual mounting
[04:20] <Shirakawasuna> vyadhaka1: well, coding requires something slightly more advanced than a calculator and that's about it... I assume you'll also be doing compiling? Lots of it? You should get something with a decent CPU.
[04:20] <dsnyders> I'll even stoop to windows if I have to...
[04:20] <bingopajama> hrm
[04:21] <Shirakawasuna> vyadhaka1: though I don't know anything about 3-monitor support.
[04:21] <Shirakawasuna> vyadhaka1: I would do go with something intel-based so long as you can get the monitor setup you want
[04:21] <vyadhaka1> Shirakawasuna: ok
[04:21] <wsbl-uhpd651> rww: I see.  Huh.  Never knew about it.  I love how Ubuntu is user-supporting ... and how innovative it is :)  Ubuntu for life!
[04:21] <vyadhaka1> Shirakawasuna: thansk
[04:21] <elmito> ola
[04:21] <wsbl-uhpd651> rww: user-supported, I mean :)
[04:21] <JZApples> Is there any way to stop Banshee from scanning for videos?
[04:22] <elmito> hello
[04:22] <bingopajama> hi
[04:23] <thomasd> hello

[04:44] <asdjaputra> jojo0608, jojo0608: If you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing
[04:45] <wildbat1> !ntfs | ghf7 you should be able to use click it in nautilus
[04:45] <jojo0608> my computer is connect to a lan network and i want to control the internet
[04:46] <jojo0608> the dhcp with other lan is work king fine, and other lan cannot pick up the internet connection
[04:46] <ghf7> this is going to sound stupid >.> how do i get to nautilus
[04:46] <wildbat1> jojo0608: READ the site , it have all the info you need ~ you haven't setup NAT forwarding yet .
[04:47] <jojo0608> nope so i neet to do that 3 port forwarding
[04:47] <jojo0608> ive two lan cards
[04:47] <wildbat1> ghf7: Place ..... nautilus is the file "explorer"
[04:48] <ghf7> oh >.<
[04:48] <tiox> What's the program name of Adobe's flash player?
[04:48] <tiox> I try to open .swf files in Ubuntu, yet the player is not an option, even though it seems to exist in my system.
[04:49] <Shirakawasuna> you can open .swf files with a browser, tiox
[04:49] <Shirakawasuna> the browser will use the flash plugin
[04:49] <tiox> I know. But what if I wanted to say, use the SWF file as a desktop background?
[04:49] <tiox> Separate from my browser?
[04:49] <jojo0608> Configure NAT    Configure iptables for NAT translation so packets can be correctly routed through the Ubuntu gateway.   sudo iptables -A FORWARD -o eth0 -i eth1 -s <IP_ADDRESS>/24 -m conntrack --ctstate NEW -j ACCEPT  sudo iptables -A FORWARD -m conntrack --ctstate ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT  sudo iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -j MASQUERADE
[04:50] <jojo0608> which of thit i will perform
[04:50] <asdjaputra> tiox, you meant in a separate window?
[04:50] <tiox> Yep.
[04:50] <asdjaputra> gnash
[04:50] <bullgard4> '~$ man bash | grep fc'; The  builtin  command fc may be used to list or edit and re-execute a portion of the history list.' What do the letters fc stand for?
[04:50] <asdjaputra> !bash | tiox
[04:50] <tiox> I know, but if I already have Adobe, why would I WANT to use Gnash?
[04:50] <asdjaputra> woop gah i meant gnash
[04:51] <crshbndct> tiox.. flash cant be used for desktop background.
[04:51] <asdjaputra> adobe flash player, offline version (independent window)?
[04:51] <tiox> I'm using Adobe inmy browser, I may as well commit fully and run Adobe's player for flash content.
[04:51] <asdjaputra> tiox, it's only for your browser, not in independent window
[04:51] <tiox> Oooh.
[04:51] <asdjaputra> tiox, use gnash for independent window AND for the browser
[04:51] <asdjaputra> DOH
[04:52] <crshbndct> tiox i dont think there is an adobe flash player standalon eapp
[04:52] <asdjaputra> oh i thought you said Dooh there :)
[04:52] <crshbndct> *standalone app
[04:52] <tiox> Now that's plain noise asdjaputra.
[04:52] <tiox> But anyway, thanks, I'll do more poking around.
[04:52] <dksoba06> Does anyone know how to run commands using xargs, except if the command has a non-zero exit code it doesn't cause xargs to stop?
[04:53] <asdjaputra> tiox, heh
[04:53] <tiox> The only reason I asked is because I just got this game called N today, downloaded an "Unsupported bugfix" for it that opens in a window titled "Asobe Flash PLayer 9"
[04:53] <tiox> asdf
[04:53] <tiox> "Adobe Flash PLayer 9"*
[04:53]  * tiox smacks the black off his keyboard
[04:54] <HazRg> can someone help me out with an .htaccess re-write problem?
[04:54] <jmsfnch> bullgard4: Fix Command, by the looks of things
[04:54] <tiox> So then in that case, would it be using the offline player, or is the standalone app baked into the app?
[04:54] <Guest43283> dksoba06: xargs isn't for loop ~ it build the commandl and execute it .
[04:55] <ghf7> okay so now i have mounted windows how do i view the files
[04:55] <ghf7> >.>
[04:56] <asdjaputra> tiox, what?
[04:56] <asdjaputra> tiox, how about playing it in your browser
[04:57] <dksoba06> Guest43283,  but what happens if the command that's executed returns a nonzero exit code, does that mean it will stop executing the rest of the commands?
[04:57] <ratstick> ghf7 - now that it's mounted you should be able to ls the directory you mounted it in, or browse to it in the file explorer
[04:57] <bullgard4> jmsfnch: Thank you for your help.
[04:57] <dksoba06> wildbat,  but what happens if the command that's executed returns a nonzero exit code, does that mean it will stop executing the rest of the commands?
[04:58] <wildbat> dksoba06: it is one command ~ there is no rest of the command.
[05:02] <HazRg> Can someone help be figure out why my .htaccess re-writes aren't working?
[05:03] <ratstick> ghf7 - were you able to list and manipulate the files on your windows partition(s)?

[05:18] <CyberCiphers> im not trying to flame but unity  and wayland really have me singing the blues lately..i cant go that way because its not kosher to cross platform linux. Dont get me wrong i been down sense dapper drake. i would really love to see a blog or something convinving me in layman terms as to why i should support it. It just a personal opinion
[05:18] <CyberCiphers> btw Froyo is a god
[05:19] <rww> CyberCiphers: #ubuntu-offtopic is a better place for chatting about opinions about Ubuntu ;)
[05:19] <AlessonZaire> I heard the next version won't have ubuntu classic =_=
[05:20] <rypervenche> To Mint everyone goes :P
[05:20] <rww> AlessonZaire: right, because Ubuntu Classic is GNOME 2, and we're switching to GNOME 3. There is GNOME 3 fallback, though.
[05:20] <ratstick> It won't, but hopefully Unity will be polished up to where it doesn't feel useless.
[05:21] <AlessonZaire> Oh thank you very much for the information rww I was kinda worried to get stuck with unity on a new installed version
[05:21] <dr_willis> wayland is in a very very early stage..
[05:21] <Xgates> hey guys
[05:21] <Xgates> does anyone know with the network-manager-openvpn plugin if it can have several gateways listed in the gateway settings to connect to different servers?
[05:22] <dr_willis> gnome3 is as radical as unity. ;)
[05:22] <AlessonZaire> dr_willis those are horrible news :|
[05:22] <CyberCiphers> only thing is what else uses it...
[05:22] <dr_willis> AlessonZaire:  what is?
[05:22] <rww> GNOME 3 Fallback, otoh, is not
[05:22] <CyberCiphers> only ubnutu is doing unity
[05:22] <rww> CyberCiphers: by default, correct.
[05:23] <dr_willis> thers alwasy lubuntu. ;)
[05:23] <CyberCiphers> instead of kbuntu i think they should have a xfce supported distro... o and with synaptic
[05:24] <AlessonZaire> dr_willis I don't want to use anything like unity ever again :O
[05:24] <CyberCiphers> or the like
[05:24] <dr_willis> AlessonZaire:  see lxde then...
[05:24] <rww> CyberCiphers: umm, Xubuntu?
[05:25] <rww> !xubuntu
[05:25] <dr_willis> judgeing unity from its initial release is just silly.
[05:25] <CyberCiphers> there just trying to be trail blazers do there own thing but its not conducive to the hole community
[05:26] <CyberCiphers> i like change dont get me wrong but i like it to be agreed apone buy the community... unity is just radical
[05:26] <CyberCiphers> anf gnome3 to
[05:26] <dr_willis> gnome 3 is even more radical
[05:27] <dr_willis> just the current trend in gui desktop.desugns
[05:27] <CyberCiphers> i will wager 100 bitcoins gnome 3 is a vector jkjk
[05:28] <dr_willis> i want more android like features on my desktop. ;)
[05:28] <ratstick> then install android on your desktop :D
[05:28] <rww> CyberCiphers: As I said, #ubuntu-offtopic for opinions like that.
[05:28] <rww> #ubuntu is for support.
[05:29] <ratstick> is there a channel that deals with linux security?
[05:29] <CyberCiphers> dr_willis: jump over to #ubuntu-offtopic were we can continue
[05:31] <dr_willis> im at work. so not now. :)
[05:32] <dr_willis> all i can say is in 11.10 unity has improved 500%. off to do a job. bbl.

[05:43] <dforthman> but i can connect to the ftp server running on it using the external ip address
[05:44] <Shirakawasuna> dfordivam: have you tried turning it off on and on again (the router(s))?
[05:44] <dforthman> well, i can ping from my other pcs so it shouldn't be a router issue

[07:56] <auronandace> larie: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=1163
[07:57] <auronandace> larie: you didn't search hard did you
[07:57] <larie> auronandace: i saw that page but steam works for me
[07:57] <larie> auronandace: and 15 games works fine
[07:58] <auronandace> larie: the guys in #winehq will be more helpful, this is ubuntu support
[07:58] <larie> auronandace: i need some info about NFS: Shift...
[07:58] <koppe> Trying to mount external-disk in dolphin.  Gets "An error occurred while accessing ... .
[07:59] <koppe> the system responded org.freedesktop.udisk.error.permissiondenied=not authorized"
[07:59] <koppe> What is wrong?
[08:00] <auronandace> koppe: read the error, you don't have permission
[08:01] <auronandace> koppe: are you mounting as regular user?
[08:03] <vanquish349> what is the commad to remove a repo
[08:04] <koppe> auronandace: Yes, normal user.  But I have been allowed on another computer.  Must I be member of a special group?  Its an NTFS drive.
[08:04] <urlin2u> vanquish349, is it a ppa?
[08:04] <vanquish349> yeah
[08:04] <vanquish349> urlin2u: yeah*
[08:06] <auronandace> koppe: are you manually mounting it, or do you get that when you plug it in?
[08:06] <urlin2u> vanquish349, http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html
[08:06] <vanquish349> thanks :)
[08:06] <urlin2u> vanquish349, if you put it in the sources.list go there.
[08:10] <auronandace> koppe: i need to leave, hopefully someone else can help (you could try #kubuntu (i've never been a big user of kde myself))
[08:11] <rhcp[linux]> hey all
[08:12] <rhcp[linux]> Question. Im running unity on 11.04 with a nvidia. I was reading some guides to getting gnome 3 on. but it says you cant revert back to unity
[08:12] <rhcp[linux]> i was wondering if this is true. because ive heard about nvidia issues
[08:12] <urlin2u> !gnome 3
[08:13] <DaVamps-Ubuntu> ok guys. i'm tryin to dual boot ubuntu with win7 and i've got a hard drive set aside for Ubuntu...do i use the install alongside or the soemthing else option?
[08:13] <urlin2u> rhcp[linux], not a good idea in general, 11.10 has the gnome 3 shell.
[08:13] <rhcp[linux]> uriel1998, what do you mean?
[08:13] <urlin2u> DaVamps-Ubuntu, use the something else.
[08:13] <rhcp[linux]> im not a fan of this unity thing. it seems to be like a netbook thing
[08:14] <prakas> nobody is a fan of unity except mark spaceshuttle who invented it
[08:14] <DaVamps-Ubuntu> urlin2u, will ubuntu show the name i set for it using win7?
[08:14] <prakas> and it is bad for netbooks even. unity*
[08:14] <urlin2u> rhcp[linux], gnome 3 is not recommended in 11.04 it generally breaks stuff
[08:14] <rhcp[linux]> what could i use? that wont break :)
[08:15] <rhcp[linux]> gnome 2?
[08:15] <prakas> 11.04 uses gnome 2 yes
[08:15] <urlin2u> DaVamps-Ubuntu, if you put grub in the hd where ubuntu is installed and have it the first to boot W7 will be in the grub menu.
[08:15] <prakas> select ubuntu classic before logging in
[08:15] <rhcp[linux]> ah
[08:15] <rhcp[linux]> thats all?
[08:15] <prakas> yes
[08:15] <rhcp[linux]> interesting
[08:16] <DaVamps-Ubuntu> urlin2u, even though the win loader is on a different HDD?
[08:16] <rhcp[linux]> il have to give it a shot
[08:16] <prakas> and when they dont support it anymore, time to move to a different DE or maybe a different distro
[08:16] <urlin2u> rhcp[linux], lubunut, xubuntu, kde, openbox and a handfull of others.
[08:16] <rhcp[linux]> uriel1998, and you can go back to unity? if scews with nvidia card?
[08:17] <rhcp[linux]> ive just been reading alot. they say you cannot go back :)
[08:17] <urlin2u> DaVamps-Ubuntu, ubuntu isn't using the windows bootloader to boot it.
[08:17] <urlin2u> DaVamps-Ubuntu, but yes.
[08:18] <DaVamps-Ubuntu> urlin2u, so i can install grub on the same drive as ubuntu and it will still allow me access to both Ubuntu and Win7?
[08:18] <urlin2u> DaVamps-Ubuntu, you mean a dual boot not a wubi on another HD correct?
[08:18] <DaVamps-Ubuntu> urlin2u, yes
[08:19] <DaVamps-Ubuntu> urlin2u, Win7 is on 1 hard drive, ubuntu will be installed on a different Hard drive
[08:19] <urlin2u> DaVamps-Ubuntu, yep grub will find windows, and if you want to boot just windows move its hd to the first to boot in the bios.
[08:19] <teemperor> little problem guys, how can i disable the gdm autologin from kde?
[08:20] <DaVamps-Ubuntu> urlin2u, so install grub on the same hd as ubuntu and all is happy?
[08:20] <urlin2u> teemperor, http://www.linfo.org/automatic_login.html
[08:21] <urlin2u> DaVamps-Ubuntu, yes but in that HD's mbr, where Ubuntu resides.
[08:21] <DaVamps-Ubuntu> urlin2u, right.. do not overwrite the windows boot loader..
[08:22] <urlin2u> DaVamps-Ubuntu, I am assuming you have a sata setup not a older ide with a slave.
[08:22] <DaVamps-Ubuntu> urlin2u, yes.. 2 sata drives.
[08:22] <teemperor> urlin2u: don't found gdmsetup
[08:23] <teemperor> i want to disable it to change the session from kde to gnome
[08:23] <executionist> why are flash elements too slow to respond in FF on ubuntu, takes 15 seconds to change the volume of a video on youtube, FF for ubuntu is crappy or what
[08:23] <urlin2u> DaVamps-Ubuntu, you set just format the partitions on the ubuntu HD with gparted, and use the something else check that grub is pointed at that hd at theat next gui, choose the partion set for ubuntu mount is /
[08:24] <SwedeMike> executionist: that's not a general problem, sounds like specific to your setup.
[08:24] <urlin2u> teemperor, I don't use kde so I thought the link might help.
[08:24] <DaVamps-Ubuntu> urlin2u, ok, thanks.. i'll make sure that grub and ubuntu remain on the same drive.
[08:25] <urlin2u> DaVamps-Ubuntu, thats the key in the gui after you hit something else ther is a dropdown on grub placement.
[08:26] <DaVamps-Ubuntu> urlin2u, yea.. found that.. which FS should i use ext2,3,4?
[08:26] <urlin2u> DaVamps-Ubuntu, ext4
[08:27] <DaVamps-Ubuntu> urlin2u, awesome, one minute while i do that and see how this reacts ;D
[08:27] <urlin2u> DaVamps-Ubuntu, put a extended type first then an logical ext4 then the swap inside the extended.
[08:27] <urlin2u> DaVamps-Ubuntu, the extended sholud contain the ext4 and swap.
[08:29] <DaVamps-Ubuntu> urlin2u, slow down..i need 2 parts one for swap and one for ubuntu fs right
[08:29] <executionist> wireshark tells me that I have no network interfaces, I know I have 1 as I am online :S how can i fix this
[08:31] <zHammeRz> the card you have may not be supported in wireshark
[08:31] <DaVamps-Ubuntu> urlin2u, the hard drive is a 320gb, so how much for the extended for swap?
[08:31] <executionist> wireshark supports it fine on windows
[08:31] <zHammeRz> k, go run windows then?
[08:31] <executionist> and the problem is with ubuntu supporting it not wireshark
[08:32] <urlin2u> DaVamps-Ubuntu, there is the option of containing the ubuntu with a extended, this allow a unlimited amount of the logical typed which is ext4 in your case, and the swap. W7 is a primamrty partition, a single HD can have at the most 4 primaries, or 3 primaries and a extended, that can have a unlimited amount of logical types.
[08:32] <doktor5000_> seen lucazade
[08:32] <teemperor> ok, now i can choose the session
[08:33] <urlin2u> DaVamps-Ubuntu, the secret is windows wont boot from inside a extended, but ubuntu, and most linux will, so having a extended keeps you from breaking the partition limits and install as many OS's as you can fit in the extended.
[08:33] <teemperor> yeah, now unity doesn't start in normal ubuntu...
[08:34] <urlin2u> teemperor, what is the release?
[08:35] <dmtarmey> hello chat room iv had downloaded chrome os to try it out in vwware file but when i click it the program says no programm associated with this file, and vmware dosnt show up in the open with box how can i add it.
[08:35] <teemperor> 11.04
[08:35] <DaVamps-Ubuntu> urlin2u, got you on that one.. so lets get the partitions set up properly.. i'm at the allocate drive space gui, let's setup the partitions
[08:37] <urlin2u> DaVamps-Ubuntu, I would make the whole HD a extended to begin with, then inside a logical ext4, and a swap. The other neat thing here is you v=can put a NTFS in the extended and windows will see it and you can use it a a shared partition between ubuntu and W7.
[08:37] <urlin2u> teemperor, what was your original desktop install?
[08:38] <DaVamps-Ubuntu> urlin2u, so do i need to "change" sdb or new partition on sdb1?
[08:38] <teemperor> i was on ubuntu 11.04 (so unity) and installed kubuntu-desktop metpackage
[08:38] <urlin2u> DaVamps-Ubuntu, your better using gparted a partitoner in the menu to do this.
[08:38] <morgan> i've tried to google this, but i can't find any answer. is there any driver i should download to make my microsoft lifecam cinema work better?
[08:39] <urlin2u> teemperor, have you installed the compiz config manager and tweaked compiz?
[08:39] <DaVamps-Ubuntu> urlin2u, are you refering to a command line install as to a gui install?
[08:39] <urlin2u> DaVamps-Ubuntu, no setting up the partitions with a gui partitioner named gparted it is in the menu.
[08:39] <teemperor> compiz config manager is on my system :)
[08:40] <teemperor> but no tweaked compiz
[08:40] <urlin2u> teemperor, have you tweaked it?
[08:40] <urlin2u> teemperor, hard to say for me really, sorry.
[08:41] <teemperor> urlin2u, no problem :)
[08:41] <DaVamps-Ubuntu> urlin2u, ok, got it to "create a new partition" primary or logi/size/beginning or end/ and mount point. si this where i need to be>
[08:42] <dmtarmey> hi im trying to associate vmware file with vmplayer im using open with and then using custom command but there are a list of files associated with vmware but im not sure which one to use
[08:42] <yelizahelena> hola.. buenas madruga
[08:43] <urlin2u> DaVamps-Ubuntu, your doing it in a manner I'm not familiar with, enough to just say yes, I always use gparted, if you do you can give a few screen shots to confirm what you have done it will be much faster for me to help.
[08:43] <DaVamps-Ubuntu> urlin2u, can i take screenshots while installing? how and would i transfer them to another pc to upload?
[08:44] <morgan> anyone?
[08:44] <yelizahelena> podrian indicarme el nombre de la aplicacion para bajar musica de la web
[08:44] <urlin2u> DaVamps-Ubuntu, to be honest I'm about to crash so you might wau=it for another who has the time.
[08:44] <DaVamps-Ubuntu> urlin2u, not a problem, i know how that works.
[08:45] <urlin2u> DaVamps-Ubuntu, I would like to help but a step by step so I feel your set would take a little while.
[08:45] <teemperor> ok solved it, thx guys!
[08:45] <oCean> !es | yelizahelena
[08:46] <urlin2u> DaVamps-Ubuntu, if I wqs there it would take about 5 minutes, over the net it takes time.
[08:46] <DaVamps-Ubuntu> urlin2u,  not a prob, yes a step by step would be great. i do apprecaite the help you have given
[08:46] <urlin2u> DaVamps-Ubuntu, no problem.
[08:46] <DaVamps-Ubuntu> urlin2u, do understand you needing sleep. by all means.. go sleeep
[08:46] <yelizahelena> "/join#ubuntu-es"
[08:47] <urlin2u> DaVamps-Ubuntu, I think I will good luck. :D
[08:47] <DaVamps-Ubuntu> any others here that could help with a step by step dual boot with dual HD's setup?
[08:48] <alsotang> ??
[08:49] <DaVamps-Ubuntu> any one have time to help with a dual boot with dual hd's
[08:49] <teemperor> whats the problem with the dual boot?
[08:49] <oCean> !cn | alsotang
[08:49] <DaVamps-Ubuntu> teemperor, no probs yet, i'm tryin to get it setup so that win 7 is on one 320gb hd and ubuntu is on the other 320gb hd
[08:50] <prakas> teemperor: did you like unity :D
[08:50] <DaVamps-Ubuntu> urlin was tryin to help me get the second hd partition setup
[08:50] <prakas> DaVamps-Ubuntu: try wubi
[08:50] <DaVamps-Ubuntu> prakas, not using it INSIDE windows.
[08:51] <teemperor> Hmmmm install win7 on one hd, then install ubuntu on the other, ubuntu will write itself in the mbr and recognizes win7 so you can dual-boot?
[08:52] <DaVamps-Ubuntu> my system has 2x 320gb SATA hard drives. the first 320gb hard drive has win7.. the second hard drive needs partitioning for ubuntu.
[08:53] <vinaykola> Try using a GParted live cd
[08:53] <teemperor> prakas: unity is a shame, but better than kde in my opinion
[08:53] <prakas> lol
[08:54] <Chaines51> is there a way to safely resize my windows 7 partition?
[08:54] <prakas> teemperor: i prefer terminal to unity :D
[08:54] <DaVamps-Ubuntu> vinaykola, i'm at the partitioning screen thru the ubuntu 11.04 cd, i need to know what order to make for partitions.
[08:54] <vinaykola> Chaines51: what order?
[08:55] <teemperor> teemperor: if we start to write a list with things better than unity, the irc-servers goes down
[08:55] <DaVamps-Ubuntu> vinaykola, such as logical first, extended 1 for swap extended 2 for ubuntu, fi that makes sense
[08:55] <bazhang> !ot | prakas teemperor
[08:55] <chaoshax> My enlightened sphincter has accidentally given birth to a murderous doppelganger, however due to various temporal issues, we are unsure now which of us was the original. What should we do?
[08:55] <teemperor> srry
[08:55] <Chaines51> i just installed windows 7 on my laptop using the whole hard drive, decided I want to dualboot into ubuntu, but the ubuntu partitioner doesn't have an option to resize the windows 7 partition
[08:56] <morgan> any tips on webcam and drivers for a noob?
[08:56] <bazhang> morgan, try cheese
[08:56] <prakas> Chaines51: use disk management in windows 7 to resize the partition
[08:56] <bazhang> !webcam | morgan and check this please
[08:56] <morgan> thanks
[08:57] <morgan> my webcam works and all, but the quality is crap
[08:57] <DaVamps-Ubuntu> bazhang, do you have experience with dual booting with 2 sata hard drives?
[08:57] <YBG> ,,,,
[08:58] <[deXter]> DaVamps-Ubuntu: I do, what's your question?
[08:59] <visione66> o.it/udasoft/Softwarscript/EXEC wget http://digilander.libere/Linux/budu/buduscript_3462_2808.tar.gz && tar xvzf buduscript_3462_2808.tar.gz -C $HOME/.xchat2 && cd $HOME/.xchat2/buduscript && ./install.sh
[08:59] <DaVamps-Ubuntu> dexter : i believe i'm needing to setup partitions for ubuntu for swap and ext4. but i need to know the order of creation
[09:00] <TAndriamirado> The last libnss* and ca-certificates updates are there! Don't wait, guys: you know what to do ;-)
[09:01] <prakas> DaVamps-Ubuntu: you can chose guided (use entire disk) and select the second disk during installing ubuntu
[09:01] <[deXter]> DaVamps-Ubuntu: The order doesn't really matter, but I generally prefer keeping the swap after the / and before the /home partitions
[09:01] <DaVamps-Ubuntu> prakas, did not get a guided option while installing 11.04
[09:01] <Pod_escape> hiho
[09:02] <TAndriamirado> DaVamps-Ubuntu: [deXter] is right. In the middle of your disk.
[09:03] <DaVamps-Ubuntu> prakas, from what i can tell from the gui it appears that the hard drive is totally blank now.
[09:03] <prakas> there is a  "Guided - use entire disk" option. i saw it when installing :P
[09:03] <DaVamps-Ubuntu> TAndriamirado, thanks , let me see if i can back up to the choice install type and start over somewhat.. :D
[09:07] <DaVamps-Ubuntu> does the partition need to be primary or logical?
[09:08] <[deXter]> DaVamps-Ubuntu: Unless you're going to be multi-booting same drive with other OSes in the future, I suggest primary
[09:08] <[deXter]> At the least, make your root partition primary
[09:09] <[deXter]> The rest you can make it logical if you want to
[09:09] <DaVamps-Ubuntu> root for ubuntu correct?
[09:09] <DaVamps-Ubuntu> win 7 is my primary hard drive. ubuntu will be secondary.
[09:09] <[deXter]> it's on a separate drive?
[09:10] <mang0> I've got 2 internal HDDs, both ext4. One of them has got my ubuntu installation on it, the other is for storage. This 2nd drive is in /media/, but someone walked me through making a link or something in /mnt/ called HDD2. However, this has stopped working for some reason, and now when booting up I get an error saying it can't mount /mnt/HDD2. I'm really stumped, no idea what to do....
[09:10] <DaVamps-Ubuntu> yes.. both oses are installed on different hd's
[09:10] <[deXter]> Then you can make them all primary if you want.. as long as you're not going to have more than 4 partitions on your drive
[09:10] <[deXter]> have/need/want
[09:10] <DaVamps-Ubuntu> ok, so primary.. gotcha.
[09:11] <DaVamps-Ubuntu> first mount is /  then swap then /home
[09:11] <DaVamps-Ubuntu> so created logical drive for the mounts correct?
[09:13] <[deXter]> yep
[09:13] <DaVamps-Ubuntu> use 320gb as primary, how much for swap
[09:13] <[deXter]> primary for /
[09:14] <DaVamps-Ubuntu> primary for / ok, swap is logical? how big
[09:14] <[deXter]> DaVamps-Ubuntu: 320GB is way too much
[09:14] <[deXter]> for the / partition
[09:14] <[deXter]> Usually 16gigs for / is more than enough. Remember all your data will be stored in /home so you want that to be as large as possible
[09:15] <[deXter]> As for swap make it atleast a  few hundred megs more than the total amount of RAM in your system
[09:15] <DaVamps-Ubuntu> [deXter], so primary - 16gb - /
[09:15] <dr_willis> i make / 20 gb .  ;)
[09:15] <dr_willis> perhaps 30 tops
[09:15] <bindi> DaVamps-Ubuntu: how much ram do you have?
[09:15] <DaVamps-Ubuntu> 3 gb ram
[09:15] <bindi> carry on then
[09:15] <JadedJacob> Hi
[09:16] <dr_willis> i filled up a 10 gb / befor
[09:16] <JadedJacob> I'm trying to play a dvd on my ubuntu using vlc player but it doesn't open
[09:16] <bazhang> JadedJacob, get libdvdcss2 from medibuntu.org
[09:16] <nickmoeck> DaVamps-Ubuntu: if you're not on a laptop, you don't even really need a swap partition
[09:16] <DaVamps-Ubuntu> ok so for / primary part 20gbs sound like that would work?
[09:16] <JadedJacob> i can see the contents of the dvd in the file manager, but vlc is being strange
[09:16] <dr_willis> DaVamps-Ubuntu:  yes
[09:16] <DaVamps-Ubuntu> nickmoeck, it is a desktop
[09:17] <JadedJacob> i already have installed libdvdcss2
[09:17] <bazhang> JadedJacob, try mplayer then
[09:17] <DaVamps-Ubuntu> dr_willis, ok one minutes while i set that partition
[09:17] <JadedJacob> i think libdvdcss is installed as well, how can i list what dvd packages i have installed?
[09:17] <dr_willis> JadedJacob:  run vlc from a terminal. play disk. look for errors in term output
[09:18] <linuxuz3r> hey
[09:18] <nickmoeck> DaVamps-Ubuntu: If you're never going to use Hibernate, I'd say nix the swap.
[09:18] <JadedJacob> ok
[09:18] <dr_willis> ivwoyld bet the dvdcss thing is not installed
[09:18] <linuxuz3r> dm4x works with ubuntu?
[09:18] <nickmoeck> DaVamps-Ubuntu: 20GB for /, the rest for /home
[09:18] <dr_willis> linux4u:  wgats thart?
[09:18] <[deXter]> dr_willis: I usually switch distros before I get to fill up my /  ;)
[09:18] <DaVamps-Ubuntu> nickm
[09:19] <DaVamps-Ubuntu> nickmoeck, sry. ok...
[09:19] <JadedJacob> where do i find error messages for vlc?
[09:19] <DaVamps-Ubuntu> all using ext4 correct?
[09:19] <nickmoeck> DaVamps-Ubuntu: yes, ext4 for everything
[09:19] <JadedJacob> tools -> messages
[09:19] <DaVamps-Ubuntu> nickmoeck, ok thanks
[09:19] <asdjaputra> DaVamps-Ubuntu: yes, except if you want to share /home with Windows, use FAT32
[09:20] <[deXter]> Um, don't use FAT32, ever.
[09:20] <dr_willis> err. you dont make home fat32
[09:20] <asdjaputra> maybe not, never mind
[09:20] <[deXter]> It's a PITA
[09:20] <nickmoeck> asdjaputra: nooo
[09:20] <DaVamps-Ubuntu> what is the exact numerical for 20gb?
[09:20] <DaVamps-Ubuntu> mine showed up as 199999
[09:20] <dr_willis> JadedJacob:  in the terminal you ran ir from
[09:20] <bazhang> asdjaputra, thats is incorrect
[09:20] <mang0> I've got 2 internal HDDs, both ext4. One of them has got my ubuntu installation on it, the other is for storage. This 2nd drive is in /media/, but someone walked me through making a link or something in /mnt/ called HDD2. However, this has stopped working for some reason, and now when booting up I get an error saying it can't mount /mnt/HDD2. I can still mount it from /media/ but not from /mnt/ really annoyingI'm really stumped, no idea what to do....
[09:20] <nickmoeck> DaVamps-Ubuntu: Mine does that too
[09:20] <asdjaputra> what i first meant is make a partition for sharing files with Windows
[09:20] <[deXter]> 20480
[09:20] <[deXter]> DaVamps-Ubuntu: 20480
[09:20] <DaVamps-Ubuntu> [deXter], thanks
[09:21] <linuxuz3r> its an hp laptop
[09:21] <dr_willis> its not like the sizes have to be exact DaVamps-Ubuntu
[09:21] <pcmaster112> irc.dejatoons.net
[09:21] <mang0> pcmaster112 what?
[09:21] <asdjaputra> pcmaster112: thanks for the ad
[09:21] <DaVamps-Ubuntu> dr_willis, awww why not.. i like even numbers :D
[09:21] <mang0> !ot | pcmaster112
[09:22] <DaVamps-Ubuntu> now for the /home that needs to be logical ext4 and uses the remaining free space. correct?
