[00:00] <javier_> israel: ok, thanks!
[00:00] <DinoMuffin> lotus-blade: sudo mkdir /media/cdimg ; sudo mount <iso image here> /media/cdimg
[00:01] <javier_> someone else has any idea, how to fix it? Repeat: I installed banshee-extension-clutterflow, everything fine, I changed some of its options and then I can't open banshee (except if I uninstall the extension, which I still would like to use). Ideas about to fix that?
[00:01] <israel> javier_: you can try, sudo find / -name *banshee*
[00:01] <DinoMuffin> that, or I think there's a program, like "furious iso mount" or something in the ubuntu package manager
[00:01] <flowerpot> with System V init, you could start up in single user mode or bring a system from multi-user mode down to single-user mode (e.g. to perform maintenance).  How is this same task accomplished with Upstart?
[00:01] <DinoMuffin> if you watn a gui
[00:01] <javier_> DinoMuffin, what did you mean with "to the logs"? I think I've never done that
[00:02] <DinoMuffin> javier_: when a program crashes, it will usually forward its error output to the /var/log directory
[00:02] <DinoMuffin> normally syslog
[00:02] <DinoMuffin> or, you can run the program from a terminal window
[00:02] <mcphail> flowerpot: debian/ubuntu have never supported use of runlevels like that
[00:02] <DinoMuffin> and it will forward it to the terminal window
[00:03] <willdabeast> How do you boot a Windows XP cd if the current OS is Ubuntu, and on Startup I cannot access my keyboard to enter the BIOS. Is there a way to start the installation while logged in?
[00:03] <acerimmer> willdabeast: you can't get to your bios?  that's not good
[00:03] <Rin> so question, does linux have a huge database of drivers that it can access?
[00:03] <DinoMuffin> willdabeast: that's a task for your bios
[00:03] <acerimmer> willdabeast: xp???  for what?
[00:03] <DinoMuffin> willdabeast: make sure that the CD drive is first inthe boot priority
[00:04] <willdabeast> acerimmer, I can get to my bios, but it won't recognize my keyboard for some reason
[00:04] <DinoMuffin> willdabeast: or hold tab when you computer starts to choose a boot drive
[00:04] <willdabeast> dinomuffin, yea that's what I am trying to change
[00:04] <israel> willdabeast: weird cuestion, mmm change the keyboard usb by ps2 and try to get in the setup
[00:04] <mcphail> Rin: the linux kernel is full of "drivers"
[00:04] <Rin> so how does it choose which one it use, and does it do it automatically?
[00:05] <DinoMuffin> willdabeast: oh, what's your keyboard? USB?
[00:05] <israel> willdabeast: try pressing F9
[00:05] <mcphail> Rin: it chooses automatically and you rarely have to override it
[00:06] <zennez0009> hello
[00:06] <Rin> so basically, i create a live cd, and boot my new computer using that cd and it will autp configure most everything?
[00:06] <willdabeast> israel, it didn't do anything.
[00:06] <willdabeast> Dinomuffin, let me check
[00:06] <zennez0009> anyone here uses zim wiki desktop?
[00:06] <javier_> DinoMuffin, what I find tehre is "Jan 31 19:04:26 javier-Aspire-5742 kernel: [15809.971686] ptrace of non-child pid 26261 was attempted by: gdb (pid 26348)"
[00:06] <mcphail> Rin: unless you are very unlucky, yes
[00:06] <javier_> DinoMuffin, doesnt say a lot to me...
[00:06] <Rin> alright.  that makes me feel a ton better about linux then.  XD
[00:07] <israel> willdabeast: mmm then you need to enter setup and set boot secuence cd first
[00:07] <DinoMuffin> javier_: but it's working now, correct?
[00:07] <fbsd> hi
[00:07] <mcphail> Rin: it is magic when it works... (which is most of the time)
[00:07] <Rin> mind if a query you mcphail, and ask a few other questions i have on my mind?
[00:07] <javier_> DinoMuffin, yes, because I unistalled the extension
[00:07] <willdabeast> dinomuffin, the keyboard flashed on and turned off, it's not a keyboard problem though I use it on my computer all the time.
[00:08] <mcphail> Rin: happy to reply in channel but I'm going to bed soon
[00:08] <DinoMuffin> javier_: I've never used banshee, but has it updated recently? the extension may no longer be compatible
[00:08] <Rin> ok, well, i was just wondering about how linux "drivers" come to be, are they done by the oem, or by other people?
[00:08] <vandal-> willdabeast, i had similiar issue with pretty new usb keyboard. problem solved with usb to ps2 adapter ;)
[00:09] <DinoMuffin> willdabeast: it's possible that the BIOS doesn't like it though. If you have a PS2 adapter, try putting that on
[00:09] <israel> willdabeast: told you earlier
[00:09] <israel> willdabeast: weird cuestion, mmm change the keyboard usb by ps2 and try to get in the setup
[00:09] <mcphail> Rin: bit of both. Some of the drivers have had to be reverse engineered
[00:09] <DinoMuffin> willdabeast: also, if you're running it through a KVM switch, it might get angry
[00:09] <magicJ> willdabeast:  it is that the bios is too old to support usb
[00:10] <javier_> DinoMuffin, but, the thing is, after installing the extension, it worked. I went then to its properties (of the extension), and make changed about the resolution that it displays some images. And then it crashed and never worked again. When I nuistall it, the changed i made in preferences are still there (I assume) and I don't get the chance to set them as they were at the beggining, because the program doesnt open
[00:10] <Rin> and also, is there a tool inside of ubuntu itself that you can use to find new drivers for your hardware?
[00:10] <DinoMuffin> javier_: have you tried deleting the config files?
[00:10] <DinoMuffin> javier_: they're probably in your home folder somewhere
[00:10] <willdabeast> dinomuffin, any other solutions? I don't have a ps2 cord
[00:11] <javier_> DinoMuffin, I can't find it there, that's the problem. There is no .banshee folder
[00:11] <mcphail> Rin: new drivers will be loaded automatically for new hardware. Ubuntu will offer alternative drivers if necessary
[00:11] <DinoMuffin> willdabeast: well, have you been able to access bios with that keyboard before?
[00:11] <Rin> cool, so for the most part its all plug and play
[00:11] <mcphail> Rin: as i said, when it works it is magic...
[00:11] <Rin> also, what about games?  is there even a such thing as steam for linux?
[00:11] <javier_> DinoMuffin, Ah! I found it! It's fixed :) Thanks a lot!
[00:12] <willdabeast> dinomuffin, no I mean that keyboard works with my other computer, this computer it doesn't let me do anything after I enter the Boot Menu
[00:12] <DinoMuffin> javier_:no prob :)
[00:12] <mcphail> Rin: some steam games work. Steam itself runs through an application called "wine"
[00:12] <Rin> and theres an app market im assuming, correct?
[00:12] <mcphail> Rin: but don't expect much major-label support for ubuntu
[00:12] <Rin> didnt figure to
[00:13] <DinoMuffin> willdabeast: ok, i guess i didn't hear the entire problem. if it stops working after you enter bios, then it sounds like the bios version may be buggy
[00:13] <DinoMuffin> willdabeast: or too old
[00:13] <Rin> there needs to be though.. windows is too much of a monopoly
[00:13] <dsirijus> could anyone help me with trackpoint (trakstyk by hp actually)? it freezes if i move it too fast (i have to move it REAL slow not to freeze)
[00:13] <mcphail> Rin: there is a user-friendly "app-market" type interface
[00:13] <israel> willdabeast: some pc dont let you use usb keyboards until de OS is running thats why you need to change for a ps2 plug
[00:13] <DinoMuffin> willdabeast: what israel said too
[00:14] <dsirijus> it's recognized as ps2 mouse, and trackpad works just fine
[00:14] <Rin> is there a such thing as java for linux?
[00:14] <metasansana> Rin yup
[00:14] <mcphail> Rin: of course
[00:14] <metasansana> Java is multi platform
[00:14] <willdabeast> dinomuffin and israel, is there a way to fix it if the bios is too old?
[00:14] <Rin> and im assuming that means any java programs are able to be run in linux as well?
[00:14] <alfredo72> Hi. I'm having audio issues since my last upgrade, audio is choppy, at best, music sounds as if played in a phonograph! some web videos work, some don't
[00:14] <DinoMuffin> willdabeast: flash the bios, if there's a newer version
[00:14] <metasansana> Rin not any but most should
[00:14] <mcphail> Rin: just about, yes
[00:14] <DinoMuffin> willdabeast: but you ususally have to be able to navigate the bios to flash it
[00:15] <Rin> alrighty.  also, anything browser based should be just like on windows, right?
[00:15] <komp24> i]
[00:15] <komp24> oi
[00:15] <alfredo72> anyone? help...?
[00:15] <fbsd> accents in my keyboard doesn't work, somedy can help?
[00:15] <mcphail> Rin: there is no real support for silverlight
[00:15] <willdabeast> dinomuffin, ok is there a way to do it while logged in?
[00:15] <metasansana> Rin: you may have font rendering issues but for the most part yup
[00:15] <fbsd> somebody
[00:16] <metasansana> silverlight barely exists
[00:16] <Rin> is firefox not the same on ubuntu as windows?
[00:16] <acerimmer> fbsd: System>Preferences>Keyboard
[00:16] <mcphail> Rin: better on ubuntu
[00:16] <Rin> thought so
[00:16] <DinoMuffin> willdabeast: flashing bios though ubuntu?
[00:16] <DinoMuffin> willdabeast: not that I know of
[00:16] <Rin> so why would fonts mess up?
[00:16] <mcphail> Rin: you can install the Windows fonts easily
[00:17] <xcyclist> Back.  I looked through synaptic, deleted obvious related items, re-installed thunderbird twice, and made sure to get an -f dist-upgrade.  I see no difference.  I still cannot send an email, because the send window has no send button.
[00:17] <alfredo72> anyone with some insight about audio problems?
[00:17] <willdabeast> dinomuffin, alright thanks, appreciate all the help. Israel as well.
[00:17] <DinoMuffin> willdabeast: good luck
[00:17] <Rin> ok, cool.
[00:17] <xcyclist> $ uname -v
[00:17] <xcyclist> #26-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 20 17:07:31 UTC 2012
[00:17] <Rin> im definitely going to use ubuntu, maybe only as a dual boot, but still
[00:17] <fbsd> acerimmer: i have already do that
[00:17] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: what computer do you have?
[00:17] <alfredo72> HP
[00:18] <DinoMuffin> HP what
[00:18] <alfredo72> desktop
[00:18] <alfredo72> hold on
[00:18] <DinoMuffin> I mean the model number
[00:18] <mcphail> Rin: remeber you can try ubuntu by installing it from "within" windows
[00:18] <Rin> i know.   im just saying, im already hooked on it
[00:18] <Rin> just because of the community behind it
[00:18] <Rin> let alone the magic
[00:18] <mcphail> Rin: lol
[00:18] <alfredo72> dinomuffin: pavillion slimline s5000
[00:18] <willdabeast> dinomuffin and israel, is there a way to fix it if the bios is too old?
[00:18] <Rin> im going to wait until ig et my new computer built, then ill be dual booting it
[00:18] <willdabeast> dinomuffin and israel, is there a way to fix it if the bios is too old?
[00:19] <willdabeast> dinomuffin and israel, is there a way to fix it if the bios is too old?
[00:19] <FloodBot1> willdabeast: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:19] <metasansana> Rin: you can even run it in a vm
[00:19] <Rin> vm?
[00:19]  * Rin is a tech noob btw. XD
[00:19] <metasansana> Rin virtual machine like virtual box
[00:19] <Rin> i have no idea how to do one of those.
[00:19] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: 1 sec
[00:19] <alfredo72> thanks Dino
[00:20] <metasansana> Rin: its actually straight forward
[00:20] <Rin> explain?
[00:20] <metasansana> like installing a new program
[00:20] <Rin> please and thanks for all the help
[00:20] <metasansana> Rin Virtual box allows you to install other operating systems without messing up your main one
[00:20] <Rin> oh.  cool
[00:21] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: does it only happen when using flash? or with everything?
[00:21] <Rin> so is it running both OS's at the same time?
[00:21] <alfredo72> Dino: everything, Banshee sounds as if played through a tin can
[00:21] <metasansana> Rin think of it like you are running a guest operating system as a regular application
[00:21] <alfredo72> some videos sound ok, most don't
[00:22] <metasansana> Rin like you would Firefox or Internet explorer
[00:22] <Rin> so its an OS as a single program inside of windows?
[00:22] <Rin> and how do i set that up to be done?
[00:22] <alfredo72> I have upgraded and updated everything
[00:22] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: and you're using pulseaudio, correct?
[00:22] <metasansana> Rin: Virtual Box is the application that you manage the Os guests from
[00:22] <alfredo72> good question Dino, how do I find that out?
[00:23] <Rin> how do i get Virtual box?
[00:23] <metasansana> Rin: https://www.virtualbox.org/
[00:23] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: open a terminal and type in pulseaudio
[00:23] <DinoMuffin> it should say the dameon is running if you do
[00:23] <alfredo72> E: [pulseaudio] pid.c: Daemon already running.
[00:23] <alfredo72> E: [pulseaudio] main.c: pa_pid_file_create() failed.
[00:23] <DinoMuffin> alrighy
[00:23] <alfredo72> getting anywhere?
[00:24] <metasansana> Rin: they have documentation on the website two
[00:24] <flowerpot> Is it possible to have a file system on a device without a partition?
[00:24] <Rin> it seems as if oracle is a really big open source backer
[00:24] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: i'm checking for bug reports
[00:24] <alfredo72> cool, thanks Dino
[00:24] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: unfortunately pulseaudio is a bit of a trainwreck
[00:24] <metasansana> Rin: They acquired Sun Micro a while ago
[00:24] <alfredo72> oook... so the recommendation is...
[00:24] <metasansana> Rin: they have an agenda like any other corp
[00:24] <dsirijus> also, it seems like the more cpu is hit, the more i get these cursor freezes (they last like second or two)
[00:24] <html_5> how do i open port 5000 -5100 on ubuntu
[00:25] <acerimmer> Found!  http://imagebin.org/196658
[00:25] <Rin> well, any company out for money has an agenda
[00:25] <aykut> slm
[00:26] <KC-45> what irc clients do you guys recommend
[00:26] <KC-45> im absolutely new to ubuntu
[00:26] <Rin> but for now, ill just use it as a dual boot, so that i can play with it and see how it would work on its own.
[00:26] <alfredo72> DinoMuffin: I began the sound troubleshooting procedure found in the ubuntu forums, but it seems that is for NO audio at all, which is NOT the case
[00:26] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: can you check your syslog?
[00:27] <Rin> thank you guys, for all the help.
[00:27] <acerimmer> KC-45: ubuntu?  chatzilla works well in firefox.  xchat is also nice
[00:27] <alfredo72> hold on Dino
[00:27] <metasansana> Rin: no probs
[00:27] <Rin> ill probably be back.  XD
[00:28] <willdabeast> dinomuffin, I love you. ps2 keyboard worked ;)
[00:28] <willdabeast> israel, I think you said to do that too, thank you
[00:28] <alfredo72> DinoMuffin: check syslog as in typing "dmesg" in terminal?
[00:28] <DinoMuffin> willdabeast: cool :)
[00:28] <acerimmer> willdabeast: http://imagebin.org/196269
[00:29] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: type in "cat /var/log/syslog | grep "pulse"
[00:29] <DinoMuffin> "
[00:29] <alfredo72> ok, hold on (thanks)
[00:30] <alfredo72> bash: cat/var/log/syslog: No such file or directory
[00:30] <DinoMuffin> there should be a space after cat
[00:30] <alfredo72> my bad
[00:30] <DinoMuffin> no worries
[00:31] <alfredo72> ok, a bunch of data pops out
[00:31] <alfredo72> do I copy paste that for you?
[00:31] <DinoMuffin> mind putting it in a pastebin?
[00:32] <willdabeast> Is there a way to rank people who answer questions up and down in this chatroom as a peon?
[00:32] <alfredo72> no, not at all... HOW? (my handle is no joke)
[00:32] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: pastebin.com, copy paste it in there and upload
[00:33] <alfredo72> yes, I'm @ pastebin, upload to where?
[00:33] <jefferson> !pastebin
[00:33] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: there should be a large area in the middle of the page under "new paste"
[00:33] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: paste it in there, and at the bottom click "submit"
[00:34] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: then give me the link in your address bar
[00:34] <alfredo72> gotcha, 1 min
[00:34] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: sure
[00:34] <alfredo72> Dino: http://pastebin.com/v38470Ec
[00:35] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: thanks
[00:35] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: oh I thought it was more than that lol
[00:36] <alfredo72> no, bro, thanks to you
[00:36] <evoandroidevo> does sshd recored who loged in and what they did
[00:36] <cyberjorge> hi, i want to save the results of tailf
[00:36] <cyberjorge> this doesn't work.. tailf /opt/zimbra/log/mailbox.log | grep -i<EMAIL_ADDRESS>> filetered.log
[00:36] <cyberjorge> any suggestion?
[00:36] <alfredo72> so I'm I going to have to take my computer out to the backyard and... shoot it?
[00:36] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: but good news, looks like your not the only one with this issue
[00:37] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: well, hopefully not
[00:37] <alfredo72> hahahaha! how could that be good news?
[00:37] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: means you probably don't got to shoot your computer ;)
[00:37] <alfredo72> ok I won't
[00:38] <alfredo72> so what's the prognosis Doc, Dino Sir?
[00:39] <DinoMuffin> hmm
[00:39] <altervain> hola?
[00:40] <codepal> dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libfreerdp1_1.0.0-0git1_i386.deb (--unpack):
[00:40] <codepal>  trying to overwrite '/usr/share/freerdp/keymaps/aliases', which is also in package libfreerdp0 0.8.2-2build1
[00:40] <alfredo72> "hmm"? what do you mean by "hmmm"?!?!
[00:40] <codepal> how to fix ? ^^
[00:40] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: have you ever had it where it cuts out completely?
[00:40] <vadi2> How can I cancel a dist upgrade? I did apt-get clean in the middle of it, and now it'll give me an error dialog for every single package ahead.
[00:40] <alfredo72> Dino: no, maybe with some web videos
[00:41] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: ok
[00:41] <alfredo72> DinoMuffin: but the audio is very low, choppy and sounds as if played through a can
[00:41] <iarp> anyone have experience using setfacl? i'm trying to make a certain folder only write as nobody:users nomatter who writes to it, it always must be nobody:users
[00:42] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: and i'm guessing you checked the physical connection and all that?
[00:42] <evoandroidevo> does sshd recored who loged in and what they did?
[00:42] <alfredo72> DinoMuffin: do I sound THAT stupid? ;)
[00:42] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: lol, just gotta check all the bases
[00:42] <alfredo72> I know, I know
[00:43] <ActionParsnip> evoandroidevo: its logged in /var/log/auth.log
[00:43] <xcyclist> thunderbird send problem:  I found I get this only on my main account on my laptop.  The secondary account puts up a good send window, but the primary does not.
[00:43] <stephenh> evoandroidevo: no, only their login time
[00:44] <stephenh> it does not do any sort of auditing
[00:44] <xcyclist> So, it appears to be something got corrupted in my account.
[00:44] <stephenh> well history of what they did
[00:44] <codepal> nm fixed it with dpkg --force-all
[00:44] <recon69_lap> g
[00:44] <evoandroidevo> ok thanks guys
[00:45] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: alrighty, try opening up "alsamixer" in a terminal
[00:45] <alfredo72> Dino: I've already done that, all bars are cranked all the way up and are not muted
[00:46] <xcyclist> Anyone know where to look for stuff that might mess up thunderbird configurations so I can just start over without losing my email history?
[00:46] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: i was gunna suggest reducing the PCA to < 70%
[00:46] <acerimmer> xcyclist: I'd guess there're in your /home and are hidden by default.
[00:46] <alfredo72> ok, hold on
[00:46] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: i believe that it has to digitally amplify the sound if it's above that
[00:47] <alfredo72> ummm. Dino? there is no PCA bar
[00:47] <DinoMuffin> :|
[00:47] <alfredo72> PCM?
[00:47] <DinoMuffin> oh PCM
[00:47] <DinoMuffin> yeah, sorry
[00:47] <alfredo72> lol
[00:47] <DinoMuffin> that about blew my brain
[00:48] <alfredo72> hahahaha
[00:48] <alfredo72> ok, so it's either 71 or 69, no way of putting 70
[00:48] <DinoMuffin> 69 then
[00:48] <DinoMuffin> try running some music afterwards
[00:48] <kah_> i've been running virtualbox for about a week now with ubuntu, shutting it down, starting it up and now I just shut it down and started it and out of the blue I get no launcher or top tab, any ideas? it looks like this http://www.screencast.com/t/CH47jtwa4
[00:49] <alfredo72> ok, one sec
[00:49] <DinoMuffin> kah_: did you restart it?
[00:49] <alfredo72> Dino: YOU EFFIN ROCK!!!!
[00:49] <kah_> several times
[00:49] <kah_> DinoMuffin: several times
[00:49] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: sweet :D
[00:50] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: aparently there is some issues with the alsa driver when it amplifies sound
[00:50] <alfredo72> can't believe that did it (I'm POSITIVE I hadn't touched anything there)
[00:50] <kah_> i can click on the top tab and will get the pull down menus
[00:50] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: i'll put it in a bug report
[00:50] <kah_> and they show up
[00:50] <alfredo72> thanks dude
[00:50] <alfredo72> so what can I do for you?
[00:50] <kah_> but launchy and the top menu bar are transparent
[00:50] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: if it just updated, it you might not of had to do anything
[00:50] <xcyclist> acerimmer:  okay, well I've looked in the .thunderbird directory, and it is pretty obscure, and has no serious difference from my other account.
[00:50] <alfredo72> I know: " aguy walks into a bar carring a briefcase..."
[00:50] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: lol, dont worry about it. i do this stuff for fun
[00:51] <alfredo72> so one last question: do I put all the bars in the "white zone"? all are cranked all the way up to red
[00:51] <acerimmer> xcyclist: I've been know to delete hidden config files.  logout/login and it forces a rebuild of the config.
[00:51] <kah_> DinoMuffin: any idea? :D
[00:52] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: the rest shouldn't matter, PCM is the one to look out for
[00:52] <DinoMuffin> kah_: 1 sec
[00:53] <alfredo72> DinoMuffin:
[00:53] <alfredo72> cool, thanks a lot bro, really appreciate that
[00:53] <alfredo72> and another (less important) question, this one I can live with: my monitor  is out of range but there is no option for the resolution ... any ideas on that one?
[00:53] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: no prob man
[00:54] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: is it on DVI or VGA?
[00:54] <alfredo72> ok, I hjaven't got a clue
[00:54] <DinoMuffin> kah_: try reinstalling gnome_panel in the synaptic package manager
[00:54] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: ok, is it LCD or CRT?
[00:55] <alfredo72> LCD I guess... flat screen, not a year old
[00:55] <artichoku> howdie howdie! how's it hangin'?
[00:55] <DinoMuffin> it's probably DVI then
[00:56] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: open a terminal and type "xrandr"
[00:56] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: any resolutions showing up?
[00:57] <alfredo72> Dino: yeah, a whole bunch of them
[00:57] <DinoMuffin> but they don't show up in the display options?
[00:57] <alfredo72> oh they do, it's just that the one spcific for my stupid monitor doesn't
[00:58] <DinoMuffin> oh, its on a non-native resolution?
[00:58] <DinoMuffin> hm
[00:58] <alfredo72> well it's a resolution HP thought is really cool?
[00:59] <ActionParsnip> alfredo72: what video chip do you use?
[00:59] <Oer> alfredo72, what resolution exactly ?
[00:59] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: I have to wonder now if it's actually connected through VGA, rather than DVI
[00:59] <alfredo72> that's what I'm trying to find out without shutting down the computer
[01:00] <alfredo72> how wpould I know that?
[01:00] <ActionParsnip> alfredo72: lspci | grep -i vga    what is output?
[01:00] <DinoMuffin> well VGA will likely be a thick black cable with a blue end
[01:00] <DinoMuffin> DVI will have a white end
[01:00] <alfredo72> VGA it is
[01:00] <DinoMuffin> yeah
[01:00] <haylo> vga has a bunch of pins
[01:00] <DinoMuffin> it might not be detecting the monitor correctly
[01:01] <haylo> linux sux with some resolutions alfredo72 2nd monitor im guessing?
[01:01] <DinoMuffin> you can force a specific resolution with xrandr
[01:01] <DinoMuffin> if memory serves me
[01:01] <semitones> ActionParsnip: hey, you told me a long time ago to unload psmouse and reload it when my computer resumed from sleep
[01:01] <haylo> cool DinoMuffin il try that
[01:02] <alfredo72> haylo: nope this is the monitor that came with the computer
[01:02] <alfredo72> DinoMuffin: cool, how?
[01:02] <semitones> ActionParsnip: is there a way to make that happen every time I come back from sleep, automatically?
[01:02] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: gotta remember how lol, 1 sec
[01:02] <Ben64> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution#Adding_undetected_resolutions
[01:02] <semitones> ActionParsnip: also is that still the best way of dealing with the problem of the touchpad not working properly?
[01:02] <alfredo72> sure, no prob
[01:03] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: ah yeah, that link ben posted would do it
[01:03] <alfredo72> thanks Ben64
[01:04] <DinoMuffin> hmm
[01:05] <alfredo72> Dino: it should be 1366x768
[01:05] <DinoMuffin> wow you have to know the specific h and v sync timings?
[01:05] <Ben64> 1366x768 isn't that strange
[01:05] <DinoMuffin> yeah but he's not using dvi
[01:05] <Ben64> doesn't matter
[01:05] <alfredo72> Dino: those would be H = 48kHz V = 60 Hz
[01:06] <ActionParsnip> semitones: sure, make a script to unload and reload the module, then run:  gksudo gedit  /etc/pm/sleep.d/90_psmouse     and you will need text like #2 here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1334429
[01:06] <DinoMuffin> hm
[01:06] <evoandroidevo> 1024x600 :D small screen eh
[01:07] <alfredo72> Ben64 so basically I follow instructions on the thread you kindly provided?
[01:08] <Ben64> alfredo72: yeah, should do it
[01:08] <ActionParsnip> semitones: same deal here: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+question/176273
[01:08] <ActionParsnip> semitones: also: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_configure_the_TrackPoint
[01:08] <ActionParsnip> semitones: says how its done too
[01:09] <ActionParsnip> semitones: the last one is probably the way forward
[01:09] <DinoMuffin> oh ok
[01:09] <semitones> ActionParsnip: thanks, I'll look at that one then
[01:09] <DinoMuffin> til about cvt
[01:09] <DinoMuffin> neat
[01:09] <evoandroidevo> is there anything that records the screen in Ubuntu kinda like fraps for windows
[01:10] <semitones> ActionParsnip: it had been a while... I was hoping an update would have fixed it by now. I was avoiding upgrading away from 10.10 because I didn't want to deal with trackpad issues
[01:10] <SonWighFac9> yeah the new gnome 3 have a built in screen recorder
[01:10] <DinoMuffin> evoandroidevo: have you tried "desktop recorder" in ubuntu package manager?
[01:10] <ActionParsnip> evoandroidevo: recordmydesktop or byzanz
[01:10] <evoandroidevo> yea i have tried it but i couldnt get it to save the video
[01:11] <alfredo72> uh, Ben64, quick question: I assume the mode I want doesn't exist so I have to input the second line of code?
[01:11] <ActionParsnip> semitones: some touchpads hate being hibernated
[01:11] <evoandroidevo> i tried recordmydesktop
[01:11] <whiteLime> anyone have any cool ideas i can do on ubuntu school server
[01:11] <whiteLime> ?
[01:11] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: yeah, after you enter cvt, copy what's after the Modeline bit
[01:12] <ActionParsnip> evoandroidevo: or xvidcap
[01:12] <ActionParsnip> whiteLime: in what way?
[01:12] <evoandroidevo> is xvidcap the package name
[01:12] <alfredo72> ok, hope that doesnty make me go blind
[01:12] <ActionParsnip> !info xvidcap
[01:13] <evoandroidevo> man the bot in here is so useful
[01:13] <whiteLime> ActionParsnip anyway as long as its legal.
[01:13] <Guest1635> vrms
[01:14] <alfredo72> Dino, I'm at a loss here
[01:14] <alfredo72> sorry
[01:15] <alfredo72> mind walking me through this one?
[01:15] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: ok, well try entering this in first "xrandr --addmode VGA 1366x768"
[01:17] <alfredo72> ok, cause I entered "xrandr --newmode <Mode``Line>" and got mode bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
[01:17] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: oh, well the stuff in angle brackets is where you add in the values from cvt
[01:18] <semitones> ActionParsnip: xinput list shows ps/2 mouse and alpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint as both existing on my computer. Am I safe just configiuring the alps?
[01:18] <alfredo72> Dino: hahaha, I AM stupid
[01:18] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: lol, we've all done it
[01:18] <alfredo72> and after that I got "xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
[01:18] <alfredo72> xrandr: cannot find output "VGA""
[01:18] <evoandroidevo>  whats the min requirements for 64bit?
[01:19] <evoandroidevo> as in ram
[01:19] <DinoMuffin> oh
[01:19] <DinoMuffin> make VGA VGA1
[01:19] <alfredo72> ok
[01:19] <DinoMuffin> evoandroidevo: how much ram do you have?
[01:19] <evoandroidevo> 1G
[01:20] <DinoMuffin> it'll run
[01:20] <kah_> DinoMuffin: ok, I'm not quite sure how to reinstall gnome_panel in the synaptic package manager
[01:20] <alfredo72> Dino: same message: xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
[01:20] <alfredo72> xrandr: cannot find output "VGA1"
[01:21] <semitones> ActionParsnip: take a look at the last thing on this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad -- is that gconftool command relevant?
[01:21] <ickefes> hi guys! i have a VIA 1708S internal sound card which both Windows and Ubuntu detects as "Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02)". How do I install it with VIA drivers? Regards.
[01:21] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: :/
[01:21] <alfredo72> Dino: LOL
[01:21] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: ok, type in xrandr and tell me what output is connected
[01:21] <klh> if a printer dont work w/ cups would it work with cloudprint via ubuntu?

[01:22] <ActionParsnip> semitones: not sure dude, Gnome3 uses dconf
[01:23] <kah_> i can't see anything..
[01:23] <ActionParsnip> semitones: i'd use the wake up script thing personally
[01:23] <kah_> DinoMuffin: i can call up the terminal.. can i do it from there?
[01:23] <DinoMuffin> oh
[01:23] <DinoMuffin> that's so weird
[01:23] <DinoMuffin> it sees 1368 but not 1366
[01:23] <kah_>  it looks like this http://www.screencast.com/t/CH47jtwa4
[01:23] <Guest36229> yo waz up homies
[01:23] <semitones> ActionParsnip: that's what I was going to do too, until I read the page with the xinput commands you put up. I'll go back to writing the wakeup scrpt
[01:24] <Guest36229> ...... yo?
[01:24] <semitones> ActionParsnip: this also has some confusing stuff that might be relevant: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingTouchpadDetection
[01:24] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: I think you got muted
[01:24] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: :(
[01:24] <alfredo72> no, here it is: http://pastebin.com/nJe8tDiA
[01:24] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: oh, nevermind
[01:24] <evoandroidevo> is 12.04 torrent only download?
[01:24] <alfredo72> a small faux pass on my IRC etiquette
[01:25] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: lol
[01:25] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: ok, try entering in that command from earlier, but make VGA1 default this time
[01:26] <alfredo72> Dino, if this goes wrong what's the worst that could happen?
[01:27] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: well, it shouldn't do anything if you're just adding a mode
[01:27] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: hopefully it will show up in the display settings
[01:27] <maum> how can Iisten radio on ubuntu?
[01:29] <semitones> ActionParsnip: is this what I want to save as "etc/pm/sleep.d/90_psmouse" ?
[01:29] <semitones> http://paste.ubuntu.com/824650/
[01:29] <alfredo72>  Dino: so the command would be... I'm lost here
[01:30] <alfredo72> xrandr --newmode <1366x768>
[01:30] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: try "xrandr --addmode default 1366x768"
[01:30] <alfredo72> ok will do
[01:30] <evoandroidevo> where is the power settings to change how long it takes for the computer to lock
[01:30] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: it might not do anything though
[01:31] <alfredo72> you were right Dino: xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
[01:31] <alfredo72> xrandr: cannot find mode "1366x768"
[01:31] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: ok
[01:32] <evoandroidevo> nevermind found it
[01:33] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: lemme check one thing
[01:34] <alfredo72> by all means
[01:34] <semitones> ActionParsnip: i don't understand the original script so I hope i'm doing it right
[01:34] <html_5> how do i open port 5000 -5100 on ubuntu
[01:34] <infekted> how do you call on a browser in ubuntu and i mean not a specific one just default
[01:35] <kah_> DinoMuffin: hmmm if i take off hte 3d acceleration on the virtualbox, all is better
[01:35] <pfifo> infekted, `/etc/alternatives/x-www-browser`
[01:36] <kah_> DinoMuffin: since im only programming ruby i guess i don't need the 3d +D
[01:36] <infekted> thanx
[01:36] <pfifo> html_5, you dont have todo anything, the firewall is open by default, if you closed ports then just reopen them the same way
[01:38] <infekted> it didnt do the default but it instead opened epiphany
[01:38] <pfifo> silly xchant, why you no remember my hide join/part messages settings
[01:39] <html_5> trying to setup a local ftp/like such  server locally... but i dont know how, (filezilla) pfifo
[01:39] <infekted> i have chromium as default
[01:39] <infekted> but i dont want to straight call on chromium
[01:40] <infekted> hold on im going to try something
[01:40] <pfifo> infekted, you can run `update-alternatives` to select the default x-www-browser
[01:41] <infekted> got it
[01:41] <infekted> thanx man
[01:41] <pfifo> html_5, https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/ftp-server.html
[01:42] <semitones> if I want to make a script that runs a command on resume from sleep, is this how to do it? http://paste.ubuntu.com/824650/ --> /etc/pm/sleep.d/90_psmouse ?
[01:42] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: aparently vesa likes to round things
[01:42] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: >:/
[01:42] <evoandroidevo> i have a stupid question but why do alot of people still use 10.04 or 10.10
[01:42] <alfredo72> huh? vesa?
[01:42] <infekted> would you know how to call on default instant messenger?
[01:42] <semitones> evoandroidevo: because 11.04 introduces bugs :( >:(
[01:42] <semitones> i'm so sorry I ever updated
[01:42] <pfifo> !lts | evoandroidevo
[01:42] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: basically cvt won't give me the paramaters for 1366x768 because vesa rounds to the nearist 8
[01:43] <DinoMuffin> so imma try something else
[01:43] <Glowball> Hi. I have been using the Chromium beta ppa on Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick (https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/beta) for a while now, but recently, Chromium has stopped updating. It is still in 15.0.874.106, while the ppa lists a newer version available for Maverick. In Ubuntu Software Center, only the libvpx package is listed, not chromium-browser.
[01:43] <evoandroidevo> isnt 12.04 going to be a LTS
[01:43] <alfredo72> ok, I think I get what you said, not that I understood the way you said it
[01:43] <pfifo> infekted, look in /etc/alternatives... IM programs might not have defaults since there all different
[01:44] <pooltable> help installed firefox 10???
[01:44] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: actually, can you tell me what monitor you have?
[01:45] <pfifo> Glowball, 10.10 is out of date
[01:45] <pfifo> evoandroidevo, yes 12.04 will be LTS
[01:45] <Glowball> pfifo: It is still supported till April. And the ppa still lists a newer version of Chromium for Marverick.
[01:45] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: is it "great wall"
[01:45] <DinoMuffin> ?
[01:45] <alfredo72> as in "made in china"?
[01:45] <alfredo72> lol
[01:46] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: well, I saw a report sayign that some of those monitors say they can support higher resolutions when they really cant
[01:46] <pfifo> Glowball, since its a ppa theres no real EOL, the maintainer mostlikely just doesnt update it.
[01:46] <DinoMuffin> and they just scale it back
[01:46] <alfredo72> weird... can't find model or make
[01:46] <semitones> if I want to make a script that runs a command on resume from sleep, is this how to do it? http://paste.ubuntu.com/824650/ --> /etc/pm/sleep.d/90_psmouse ? (ping: ActionParsnip)
[01:46] <DinoMuffin> :S
[01:46] <Glowball> pfifo: If you click on the link, it says there is a newer version available in the PPA. Ubuntu just doesn't pic it up.
[01:47] <Glowball> pick*
[01:47] <dsirijus> so, i guess my trackpoint (recognized as "ps/2 generic mouse") is something like guest mouse to touch pad
[01:47] <dsirijus> all ran as evdev drivers
[01:47] <alfredo72> oh here: HPS1931a
[01:47] <dsirijus> and trackpoint doesn't work (locks every few seconds of usage)
[01:47] <panosdk> hi can someone tell me how can i automount my win partition.Its sda1 but i cant find in on pysdm
[01:48] <dsirijus> can i run it as separate mouse or something?
[01:48] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: well, one thing you can try is setting the monitor to 1280x768
[01:48] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: it might look a bit better
[01:48] <dsirijus> (it even shows in settings as plain mouse)
[01:48] <jason> hello??
[01:48] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: but until I find out the timings for 1366x768, I cant generate the xrandr command
[01:49] <pfifo> Glowball, its saying that the build failed
[01:49] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: brb
[01:49] <alfredo72> ok, no worries Dino,
[01:49] <Glowball> pfifo: Oh, you're right O.o The packages are only about the source version number?
[01:49] <alfredo72> oh, you mean you'd write them now?
[01:50] <BlueProtoman> Anyone here mind helping me out with my hardware acceleration?    Ubuntu 11.04, Intel HD 3000 and nVidia GeForce 520M, both controlled via Optimus.  I've tried this https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee/wiki/Troubleshooting and https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee/wiki/Upgrading-on-Ubuntu , and after resetting numerous times I still have no luck.
[01:50] <dsirijus> no one has any idea? this is killing me, completely unusable
[01:51] <pfifo> Glowball, what do you mean?
[01:51] <JermBob> hey how can i remove the mail icon in the top menu bar on my ubuntu 11.10 install please ?
[01:51] <pooltable> help installed firefox 10???
[01:51] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: back
[01:52] <Glowball> pfifo: The package list at the end of the page lists v17 as the latest version. Synaptic/Software Centre can't find it and won't update higher than 15.
[01:52] <DinoMuffin> well, to add a new resolution to xrandr, you have to have the sync timings
[01:52] <DinoMuffin> but cvt won't give it to me for that resolution
[01:52] <bazhang> JermBob, right click remove from panel after unlock from panel ?
[01:52] <pfifo> Glowball, ohh, well if the build failed, then launchpad wont make a package for it
[01:53] <somsip> pooltable: where are you trying to install it from?
[01:53] <JermBob> bazhang its not the panel its the main bar at the top which has shutdown and stuff on it ?
[01:53] <alfredo72> Dino: how would the sync timings look like? as an example?
[01:53] <Glowball> pfifo: So there still is something wrong which prevents my Ubuntu from updating to the latest version, right?
[01:53] <bazhang> JermBob, yes, try that
[01:53] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: well the command, in the end, should look somethign like "xrandr --addmode "1368x768_60.00"   85.25  1368 1440 1576 1784  768 771 781 798 -hsync +vsync"
[01:54] <pfifo> Glowball, no, you just have to wait for the build to be fixed, then the latest version will be available in the repo
[01:54] <JermBob> bazhang if i right click it or anything it gives me a list of Avaliable, Away, Busy, Invisible, Offline | Clear
[01:54] <pooltable> somsip here it is on desktop
[01:54] <alfredo72> Dino; ah, but nothing the monitor itself could give me
[01:54] <JermBob> its that dumb chat thing that it comes with
[01:54] <pooltable> http://www.tomsguide.com/us/download/Mozilla-Firefox,0301-7374-37899.html
[01:54] <wchan_> im using xubuntu. i want to create a launcher to eclipse .. how can i do it?  i created one and it says it cant find my JRE ... how can i ensure the launcher does something like source ~/.bashrc before launching the ecilpse
[01:55] <somsip> pooltable: what have you downloaded?
[01:55] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: nope
[01:55] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: have you tried setting it to 1280x768?
[01:55] <alfredo72> Dino: so I guess that will remain unsolved
[01:55] <alfredo72> yes but not much improvement
[01:56] <pooltable> somsip firefox-10.0.tar.bz2
[01:56] <pfifo> wchan_, you could try running it like this `PATH=$PATH:/usr/java/bin /full/path/to/eclipse`
[01:56] <somsip> pooltable: nah - I can't help you with installing form source
[01:56] <wchan_> pfifo: no semicolon needed?
[01:57] <pfifo> wchan_, no thats all 1 command
[01:57] <BlueProtoman> Anyone here mind helping me out with my hardware acceleration?    Ubuntu 11.04, Intel HD 3000 and nVidia GeForce 520M, both controlled via Optimus.

[01:57] <pooltable> somsip ok i just have a take a few day to the they update it o well
[01:57] <alfredo72> Dino: changed settings but everything looks awful! all fuzzy
[01:57] <somsip> pooltable: that would be the easiest and recommended course of action
[01:57] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: change em back
[01:58] <alfredo72> Dino: so I'll just keep on searching, thanks anyway
[01:58] <alfredo72> oh I did, instantly! lol
[01:58] <pooltable> somsip at least my $$ windows will have it now
[01:58] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: yeah, sorry bout that. maybe someone on the ubuntu forums could help more
[01:59] <DinoMuffin> alfredo72: or if I could find the timings for that resolution
[01:59] <alfredo72> no worries Dino, the audio thing was important, it was driving me crazy

[02:02] <Miggs> Hi guys. I got myself into a spot of PPA trouble with Pidgin. I'm trying to clean it up but apt is giving me an error that I don't know how to deal with. Can someone please look at this http://pastie.org/3292911 and give me a hint?
[02:03] <scientes> Miggs, what files are in ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
[02:03] <ablyss> Miggs, whats a PPA
[02:03] <scientes> !ppa
[02:03] <ablyss> thx
[02:04] <Miggs> scientes: morgan@lappy:~$ ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* | grep -i pidgin  finds nothing.
[02:05] <Miggs> There is also no mention of pidgin in /etc/apt/sources.list
[02:05] <pfifo> ubottu, thanks but wheres the $20 you owe me?
[02:05] <ablyss> Miggs, so basically your PPA wants to install something but your system does not support it
[02:05] <scientes> OK, then it is some PPA-foo, i'm not sure about how all that stuff works
[02:05] <metasansana> wow ubottu responds!
[02:05] <Miggs> The ppa has been purged already and I can't find anywhere where that could be being referenced.
[02:06] <ablyss> Miggs, you use sudo apt-get update you should see the PPA in the list
[02:06] <scientes> Miggs, apt-get update
[02:06] <metasansana> :(
[02:06] <Miggs> I've already done that a bunch but I'll do it again now
[02:07] <scientes> Miggs, then do apt-get remove pidgin && apt-get install pidgin
[02:07] <scientes> or apt-get -t your-version-codename install pidgin
[02:07] <haylo> miggs put in synaptic and then deselcet pigin and go ahead and install- it will just install the dependencis
[02:07] <Miggs> No mention of pidgin in the apt-get update output.
[02:07] <jtannenbaum> I'm on 10.04 and my monitor resolution is screwed up. I knew this because the bottom left corner of my screen can do this: http://i.imgur.com/fRtex.png
[02:07] <jtannenbaum> it's clearly cut off
[02:08] <jtannenbaum> changing the resolution just makes it obviously messed up
[02:08] <Miggs> morgan@lappy:~$ sudo apt-get remove pidgin leads to Package pidgin is not installed, so not removed
[02:08] <pfifo> Miggs, according to the pastebin, pidgin is trying to install a pidgin-data that is too new for it to use, so I am thinking your trying to install a non-ppa version of pidgin that is pulling in a ppa verson of pidgin-data, double check your PPA and ensure your desired package isnt named something different from just plain 'pidgin'
[02:08] <haylo> miggs it sounds like you tried to remove pigin then reinstall it?
[02:08] <ablyss> jtannenbaum, do you have reset or recalibrate button on your monitor?
[02:08] <jtannenbaum> don't think so, it might be in the menu
[02:09] <haylo> yeah i dont think you should draw pigin from a ppa- its in almost every repo i think
[02:09] <Miggs> haylo: that's right - I used the ppa on the pidgin site then cleared that out so I could use the one in the Ubuntu repo instead.
[02:09] <ablyss> jtannenbaum, maybe restarting gdm
[02:09] <scientes> Miggs, apt-get remove pidgin && apt-get install pidgin
[02:09] <haylo> Miggs, put the name in synaptic
[02:09] <haylo> that will tell you the depends Miggs
[02:09] <Miggs> scientes: apt says pidgin is not installed so it can't remove it, then the install has the error in nthe pastie.
[02:10] <Miggs> haylo: Cheers, I'll give that a try.
[02:10] <haylo> then deselct it and install those depends will still be selected
[02:10] <haylo> its a pain but at least it gives you some options
[02:11] <jtannenbaum> ablyss: I've restarted the computer, which I assume restarts gdm
[02:11] <jtannenbaum> and no luck
[02:13] <jtannenbaum> anything I can install? the resolution in general looks kind of garbage, like everything is very slightly fuzzy
[02:13] <abstrakt> can I install a 32bit firefox?
[02:14] <abstrakt> I need to run the flash debugger plugin, but it's only available for 32bit (apparently)
[02:14] <pfifo> abstrakt, you might have to build form source
[02:14] <abstrakt> ouch
[02:15] <pfifo> abstrakt, along with all its 32bit deps, but in the end, you can install a 32bit FF
[02:15] <dmitry_> good evening, I have  aproblem using the ls command in ubuntu, every time I type in the command it seems to look for a directory
[02:15] <dmitry_> giving me the error bash: ls: No such file or directory
[02:16] <jeremiah_> how do i figure out the size of a file in linux?
[02:16] <Ben64> jeremiah_: ls -ho <file>
[02:17] <pfifo> jeremiah_, ls -lh <filename>
 what?
[02:17] <dmitry_> hmm it doesn't work I'm trying to us "ls -la" command
[02:17] <Timmaah> hey guys.. got a bizarre bug. Currently coding on a big piece of work and I'm in the process of editing it.. and the file becomes read-only. I then change file permissions.. nope.. rw-rw--r.. I then try to sudo su.. to see if I can fix it that way but get the following error message: "Sudo: Can't open /var/lib/sudo/%user/0: Read-only file system
[02:17] <JermBob> whats the command to list all running processes ? ps - ??
 what??
[02:17] <pfifo> dmitry_, try `/bin/ls`
[02:17] <Ben64> jeremiah_: you asked how to figure out the size of a file....
[02:17] <meberhart> ps -aux
[02:17] <dmitry_> all I get is bash: ls: No such file or directory
[02:17] <Timmaah> Other files in the directory have the same issue.. outside that directory i can edit the files. Directory permissions are create/delete files :/
[02:17] <Timmaah> any ideas?
[02:18] <dagerik> How can I find out what version of sudo I have?
[02:18] <subb1> os> ubuntu lucid. Not able to find grub.conf or menu.lst file. how do i edit grub options?
[02:18] <meberhart> JermBob - ps -aux
[02:18] <JermBob> thannks meberhart
 but what am i soppose to do with that?!
[02:18] <Ben64> type it
[02:18] <dmitry_> ok awesome, tI think I delteted this from my PATH variable
[02:18] <pfifo> jeremiah_, it a command intended to be run on the command line
 tried, and did not work
[02:19] <JermBob> anyone know the process name for the chat program that comes installed on ubuntu ? i want to remove the mail icon at the top of the screen as its no use to me
[02:19] <ablyss> jtannenbaum, i try signing in as guest user
[02:19] <pfifo> jeremiah_, what didnt work?
[02:19] <jooic> ooi
[02:19] <dr_willis> JermBob:  i think the webupd8 blog site had that mentioned in their ubuntu tweaking guide
[02:19] <semitones> Does ubuntu still use HAL as of 11.10?
[02:19] <ablyss> jtannenbaum, its possible your settings are fubar
[02:20] <JermBob> dr_willis thanks ill check it out
[02:20] <dr_willis> semitones:  its slowly being phased out. I dont think hal is included by default
 typing that in it brought up an error
[02:20] <dr_willis> !hal | semitones
[02:20] <pfifo> jeremiah_, what was the error?
[02:20] <semitones> dr_willis: I wonder if this page should be updated to include that at the top: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHal
[02:20] <semitones> dr_willis: I got there from a page saying that trackpad problems could be HAL related
[02:21] <Miggs> haylo: Thank you very much for the help - synaptic pointed me in the right direction and I got it sorted out.
[02:21] <jeremiah_> l<pfifo> s: cannot access tree63: No such file or directory
[02:21] <Ben64> jeremiah_: you have to use it on a file that exists
[02:22] <dmitry_> Can anyone also help me figure out why this doesn't work:
[02:22] <dmitry_> dmitry@dmitry-desktop:~$ PATH=$PATH:$HOME/dmitry/arm-2007q3/bin/
[02:22] <dmitry_> PATH=$PATH:$HOME/dmitry/arm-2007q3/bin/

[02:22] <njmikell0226> running 11.04, how do i install a theme found on gnome-look.org? noob to linux
 it does! it is on my desktop
[02:22] <dr_willis> njmikell0226:  depends on what the theme is for.
[02:22] <semitones> could someone take a look at this forum thread and point me in the right direction? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11655215#post11655215
[02:22] <haylo> awesome Miggs :)
[02:22] <Ben64> jeremiah_: you have to be in that directory, or specify the full path of the file you want
[02:22] <pfifo> jeremiah_, make sure to include the path ex. `ls -lh /path/to/file.ext` or use the cd command to navigate to the directory in question... or just run `ls` by itself to determine what files are in your working direstory

[02:23] <evoandroidevo> how do i update kernel to latest stable?
[02:23] <Ben64> evoandroidevo: check in the update manager
[02:23] <njmikell0226> meaning?. gtk? is what is shows, but no idea. its android ICS theme
[02:24] <pfifo> dmitry_, pastebin that info and I might be able to read it
[02:24] <dmitry_> sorry I'm just trying to PATH=$PATH:$HOME/dmitry/arm-2007q3/bin/
[02:24] <evoandroidevo> lol i has ICS on my phone
[02:24] <dmitry_> but i get  PATH=$PATH:$HOME/dmitry/arm-2007q3/bin/
 way to compex but whatever
[02:24] <dmitry_> I mean    arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc: command not found
[02:25] <pfifo> dmitry_, setting your path shouldnt try to call a cross gcc
[02:25] <dmitry_> sorry can you explain?
[02:26] <dr_willis> njmikell0226:  could be a gnome shell theme, or a gtk2, or gtk3 theme.. the webupd8 blog site has a PPA setup with a lot of differnt themes.  plus guides on using them
[02:26] <dr_willis> njmikell0226:  i thinkyou are refering to the ICS gnome-shell theme. which is in the webupd8 ppa.
[02:26] <pfifo> dmitry_, it looks like your trying to set your path, right? that doesnt involve running any commands
[02:27] <evoandroidevo> dr_willis arent you the one that fully install ubuntu on a 16gb flash drive so that u could use the dd command on it
[02:27] <dr_willis> http://www.webupd8.org/2012/01/holo-android-ice-cream-sandwich-like.html       ICS gnome shell/gtk3 theme
[02:27] <dr_willis> evoandroidevo:  its a 32gb flash  :)  running on it right now
[02:28] <pfifo> I want a 32gb flash :(
[02:28] <dr_willis> Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
[02:28] <dr_willis> /dev/sdf1              29G   11G   17G  40% /
[02:28] <Ben64> dr_willis: what speed is the flash?
[02:29] <dr_willis> using 11 out of 17gb on it at the moment - i wonder where i partioned the other 16gb at...
 what should I do instead? I'm trying to follow this tutorial, http://groups.google.com/group/beagleboard/browse_thread/thread/452ba83aa2bd69aa
[02:29] <dr_willis> Ben64:  normal usb2
[02:29] <evoandroidevo> wish i had a 32gb too but anyways say it was a 16gb how would i dd the flash drive over with out makeing the partion 16gb how would u make it bigger
[02:29] <Ben64> dr_willis: i mean the actual speed...
[02:29] <dr_willis> Ben64:  no idea.
[02:29] <pfifo> dmitry_, is your cross compiler working?
[02:30] <Ben64> dr_willis: any of my flash drives would be horribly slow for a running system
[02:30] <semitones> hey -- could i get  a sanity check on a script I'm making?
[02:30] <dr_willis> Ben64:  just a sandisk i found on same.
[02:30] <Ben64> dr_willis: sudo hdparm -t /dev/sdf
[02:30] <evoandroidevo> Ben64 so are mine
[02:30] <dr_willis> work time for me. bbl.
[02:31] <dr_willis> may be nback in about 20 min
[02:31] <pfifo> Ben64, Ive been stuck with a 1GB flash for the last year, if you use casper+toram it runs really fast :)
[02:31] <Ben64> aw
[02:31] <Ben64> he left
[02:31] <evoandroidevo> i have a 4gb for my live usb
[02:31] <Karmaon> fucking hell, why does filezilla crash every time?
[02:31] <bazhang> Karmaon, no cursing here
[02:32] <Karmaon> bazhang: sorry
[02:32] <semitones> bazhang: could you take a look at a script that i don't understand real quick
[02:32] <Ben64> my flash drive =  Timing buffered disk reads:   48 MB in  3.11 seconds =  15.43 MB/sec
[02:32] <bazhang> semitones, to accomplish what
[02:33] <Ben64> my boot drive =  Timing buffered disk reads:  424 MB in  3.01 seconds = 141.02 MB/sec
[02:33] <jin> hi
[02:33] <pfifo> semitones, try rmmod instead
[02:33] <semitones> bazhang: to accompish a fixing of my trackpad by automatically running a line in bash that I currently type every time I resume from sleep
[02:34] <semitones> pfifo: just replace modprobe with rmmode?
[02:34] <evoandroidevo> im getting a 16gb class 10 micro sd for my phine ^.^
[02:34] <Ben64> semitones: what do you type each time
[02:35] <pfifo> semeion, disregard that, if you type it and it works on the command line then rmmod isnt needed
[02:35] <pfifo> semitones, what is the script just not executing on resume?
[02:35] <semitones> Ben64: "sudo modprobe -r psmouse; sleep 2; sudo modprobe psmouse" -- if I could get it to run every resume, that would be great.
[02:36] <Ben64> sudo is probably the problem
[02:36] <semitones> pfifo: I don't know bash scripting, or how to make a script run on resume
[02:36] <Ben64> how would a script enter your password
[02:36] <pfifo> Ben64, the script should be running as root though
[02:36] <Nach0z> semitones: pfifo: you can have crontab execute something on startup using the @reboot instead of the * * * * * at the front of the command
[02:36] <semitones> pfifo: this is the one I copied from someone else: ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11655215#post11655215 (look at the last post)
[02:36] <DinoMuffin> why would you have a script enter your password
[02:36] <DinoMuffin> defeats the purpose
[02:37] <Girffe> Hey, I'm trying to change the appearance of Ubuntu, but when I use gnome color chooser to change the color of the top panel, it only changes part of it
[02:37] <Ben64> pfifo: not sure if it does
[02:37] <dmitry_> yes, it seems to be working if I run it fromthat directory
[02:37] <evoandroidevo> if u run a script dont u have to enter the password after sudo excutes before it contunes
[02:37] <pfifo> semeion, im already looking at it, when you run `sudo modprobe -r psmouse; sleep 2; sudo modprobe psmouse` does it fix your mouse?
[02:38] <Ben64> semitones: remove the sudo from the script
[02:38] <Nach0z> Got a question for yall that's more technical than most of what I know about ubuntu
[02:38] <pfifo> dmitry_, can you try your command once more and pastebin everything it says
[02:38] <dmitry_> I got it, it was supposed to be PATH=$PATH:$HOME/arm-2007q3/bin/
[02:39] <Nach0z> when I try to start up, my ubuntu refused to connect to the system bus, so I get no networking
[02:39] <semitones> pfifo: yes, it fixes the mouse. it's really handy!
[02:39] <semitones> Ben64: got it
[02:39] <Nach0z> says that it can't connect to /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket or something
[02:39] <dmitry_> do I need to export the PATH to save it? Will it overwrite the existing paths?
[02:39] <pfifo> dmitry_, and by pastebin I mean http://fpaste.org not ctrl+v in this channel
[02:39] <evoandroidevo> or pastbin.com lol
[02:39] <pfifo> semitones, then perhaps your forgot to chmod 0755 the file?
[02:40] <javier_> Hi! I installed coverflow extension for banshee and then changed its options (selected more resolution for some images it displays). After that, banshee crashed , and I can only make it work if I uninstall the extension, that I still would like to use. I believe the problem are those settings I made in coverflow extension, that persist after uninstalling and reinstalling it. Is there a way to reset those properties manually>? Thanks!
[02:40] <evoandroidevo> oh forgot the e always do that
[02:40] <DinoMuffin> Nach0z: so, how do you get it connected afterwards?
[02:40] <Nach0z> DinoMuffin: I don't. it never connects
[02:40] <DinoMuffin> oh
[02:40] <semitones> pfifo: i haven't saved the file yet, I just wanted to see if it made sense. Right now it looks like it would run the command when I suspended too, which doesn't make sense to me
[02:40] <DinoMuffin> can you post the exact log entry
[02:40] <DinoMuffin> ?
[02:41] <Nach0z> um. I can look. where's the system log in Ubuntu again?
[02:41] <DinoMuffin> /var/log
[02:41] <pfifo> semitones, ohh well you should try it and adjust accordingly, there doesnt seem to be any problems with the script
[02:41] <Nach0z> thanks. one sec
[02:41] <Girffe> When I try to edit the color of the panel in Ubuntu using Gnome color chooser, it only does this:
[02:41] <Girffe> http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/q594/Girffe/ubuntu.png
[02:41] <Girffe> Is there a way to change the color of the entire bar>
[02:41] <semitones> pfifo: alright I'll give it a try. Thanks!
[02:41] <Nach0z> DinoMuffin: what's the actual logfile called that I'm looking in?
[02:42] <Nach0z> oh nevermind
[02:42] <DinoMuffin> probably either dmseg or syslog
[02:42] <Xdoc> Whos going to be Preident
[02:42] <Nach0z> DinoMuffin: pasting into pastebin now. I'm not actually ON my ubuntu right now, it's a different partition on this laptop, I'm just accessing the partition through an EXT3 reader
[02:42] <pfifo> Xdoc, #ubuntu-offtopic is going to win
[02:42] <DinoMuffin> ok
[02:42] <Nach0z> DinoMuffin: http://pastebin.com/pAMHge1P
[02:43] <DinoMuffin> thankies
[02:43] <Nach0z> DinoMuffin: hope you can help with this. I've tried a dozen times to fix this setup. I'd just reinstall manually if I had the disk and some way to keep my encrypted home folder thingy.
[02:45] <DinoMuffin> Nach0z: looks like a known bug
[02:46] <Nach0z> DinoMuffin: I aint had a look at that partition in almost three months so... dunno XD
[02:46] <DinoMuffin> Nach0z: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1859432
[02:46] <DinoMuffin> try wegorz solution
[02:47] <Nach0z> DinoMuffin: thanks.lemme try this out
[02:48] <DinoMuffin> k
[02:50] <Nach0z> DinoMuffin: ffs cygwin can't access the drive XD this might take a while
[02:50] <DinoMuffin> cygwin?
[02:50] <Nach0z> DinoMuffin: Um. What if there's no /var/lock? :S
[02:50] <DinoMuffin> why not boot into that partition?
[02:50] <Nach0z> DinoMuffin: cuz is broke :|
[02:50] <Nach0z> but yeah it looks like i'll have to resort to that
[02:50] <DinoMuffin> Nach0z: the installation is broken? or the harddrive?
[02:51] <Nach0z> but there's no /var/lock on my partition....
[02:51] <evoandroidevo> cygwin i could never get that to work
[02:51] <Nach0z> the installation is borked
[02:51] <DinoMuffin> Nach0z: oh :|
[02:51] <Nach0z> DinoMuffin: yeah. lol. that's what I'm tryin to fix
[02:51] <DinoMuffin> well, that's probably why it can't connect to the network
[02:51] <DinoMuffin> lol
[02:51] <DinoMuffin> so, reinstall ubuntu?
[02:51] <Nach0z> DinoMuffin: that's my point XD that's why I'm coming in here askin for help. the installation messed up the /run and /var/run stuff
[02:52] <Nach0z> DinoMuffin: I'd reinstall but my home folder is encrypted and I don't wanna lose all that work.
[02:52] <Nach0z> might copy my /var/lock off of my ubuntu server...
[02:52] <DinoMuffin> you shouldnt need to delete the home folder
[02:52] <Nach0z> to overwrite the OS on the drive?
[02:53] <DinoMuffin> well, is home it's own partition?
[02:53] <evoandroidevo> Nach0z y not just copy to a extrunal hard drive ? just in case
[02:53] <Nach0z> DinoMuffin: not that I'm aware of. it's encrypted but I'm not sure how that process works
[02:53] <DinoMuffin> hm
[02:53] <Nach0z> evoandroidevo: cant copy encrypted hidden stuff >_> can't even find it
[02:53] <Nach0z> brb though, letting the dog inside
[02:54] <DinoMuffin> i don't remember if ubuntu defaults to having it all one big partition, or a sepereate home partition
[02:54] <evoandroidevo> one big partion
[02:56] <Lirth> Anyone know why when I try to log in to Roboform Chrome extension for the first time it will crash Ubuntu? I get an error message about Kernels when it happens.
[02:57] <DinoMuffin> Nach0z: ok then, do you have a ubuntu live cd?
[02:57] <pfifo> no I remember it creating a swap partition when i used the default partition recommendation
[02:57] <dagerik> I am having trouble with running ubuntu(10.04) on a GMA500 laptop. The graphics are really sluggish. Should I upgrade to latest ubuntu?
[02:58] <Nach0z> DinoMuffin: nope. wish I did.
[02:58] <evoandroidevo> Lirth if u posted the log in a http://pastebin.com someone could help you
[02:58] <DinoMuffin> Nach0z: well, you need one
[02:58] <Nach0z> DinoMuffin: I've needed one for a looong time.
[02:58] <pfifo> Nach0z, you dont have 50 livecd coasters on your coffee table?
[02:59] <Lirth> evoandroidevo: My problem is it crashes, shows the error message for a second or two, and then goes to the log in screen and I don't get a chance to take it down.
[02:59] <DinoMuffin> Nach0z: you can manually access the data off the encrypted folders, but you need a live cd and the mount password
[02:59] <evoandroidevo> pfifo Y 50 u olny need 5
[03:00] <pfifo> ...per distro
[03:00] <evoandroidevo> lol
[03:00] <DinoMuffin> Lirth: it will save the last log to the dmesg.0 file in your /var/log folder
[03:00] <Nach0z> DinoMuffin: ah I see. that'd be cool. gonna reboot right now and see if I can beat this thing into submission. brb
[03:00] <JermBob> hey another question, how can i change the resolution in ubuntu ?
[03:01] <quixotedon> go to display
[03:01] <evoandroidevo> system settings then display
[03:01] <kah_> When I click delete, it redirects me to the page, without asking about if I want to delete... what ... is.. going... on... http://pastie.org/3293177
[03:01] <quixotedon> or type displays
[03:01] <quixotedon> JermBob: type displays
[03:01] <JermBob> ah my bad
[03:02] <JermBob> i was in the screen part
[03:02] <JermBob> thanks again
[03:02] <pfifo> kah_, this is ubuntu support
[03:02] <JermBob> you guys are choice with your help even if my questions are dumb
[03:02] <JermBob> haha
[03:02] <kah_> pfifo: shit! whoops sorry
[03:02] <pfifo> np
[03:04] <DinoMuffin> captain planet... he's a hero...gunna take polution down to zeero
[03:05] <DinoMuffin> Nach0z: so did it work?
[03:05] <LABcrab> Hello people!  i have a 2 GB and 4 GB DDR3 sticks in my laptop, but only the 2 GB stick is detected.  What went wrong?
[03:05] <DinoMuffin> Does it show up in your bios?
[03:05] <Lirth> Ok, my log from crashing in ubuntu when I tried to log into the chrome extension is here. I don't have any problems when I use it in WIndows 7. http://pastebin.com/Ckzwyuts
[03:05] <dagerik> LABcrab: It was not automatically mounted. You have to mount it manually.
[03:05] <pfifo> LABcrab, does the 4gb stick work when you install it by itself?
[03:05] <LABcrab> dagerik: Really?
[03:06] <LABcrab> pfifo: Don't feel like trying.
[03:06] <LABcrab> Not yet.
[03:06] <LABcrab> Not tonight.
[03:06] <pfifo> LABcrab, well i can tell you for sure, your not allowed to mix memory like that
[03:06] <LABcrab> Says who?
[03:07] <pfifo> LABcrab, dual channel memory doesnt work that way
[03:07] <LABcrab> Plus i have the other problem where if i put my mouse in the lower right corner, it gets trapped.
[03:07] <LABcrab> pfifo: So i have to put 8 GB and that's it?  What do i do with the 2 GB + 2 GB that comes with the laptop?
[03:07] <evoandroidevo> sell it
[03:07] <dagerik> LABcrab: Nevermnd my comment. I though you were mounting usb sticks
[03:07] <pfifo> LABcrab, the memory needs to be the same, 2, 2+2, 4, 4+4
[03:07] <evoandroidevo> keep it for just in case
[03:08] <DinoMuffin> Lirth: has it ever crashed like this before with any other program?
[03:08] <pfifo> LABcrab, its also possible your board doesnt support 4gb sticks, and the most you can have is 2+2
[03:08] <Lirth> DinoMuffin: Only with the Roboform extension right after turn my computer on and only in Ubuntu.
[03:08] <LABcrab> pfifo: but that's not fair, another computer has 1 GB + ½ GB of RAM DDR1.
[03:08] <LABcrab> pfifo: Up to 8GB according to Crucial.
[03:09] <DinoMuffin> Lirth: how many times, do you think?
[03:09] <pfifo> LABcrab, that was before dual channel architectures
[03:09] <LABcrab> Well, darn.  Gotta pay another $25.
[03:09] <LABcrab> Why is dual channel better?
[03:09] <pfifo> LABcrab, not reall, use only the 4 stick for now
[03:09] <Lirth> DinoMuffin: I don't turn my computer off often, but it happens every time as I can remember.
[03:09] <pfifo> LABcrab, twice as fast
[03:10] <LABcrab> pfifo: Then i'm not ahead compared to 2 GB + 2 GB i had before!
[03:10] <LABcrab> i get 0 GB of new memory!
[03:10] <pfifo> LABcrab, the 2+2 will be faster then the 4 alone
[03:10] <DinoMuffin> Lirth: and this is a laptop?
[03:10] <pfifo> LABcrab, but you should still test the 4 works all by itself
[03:11] <themaster_> Need some help
[03:11] <Lirth> DinoMuffin: Yes, HP Pavillion dv6
[03:11] <DinoMuffin> Lirth: thanks, 1 sec
[03:11] <Nach0z> DinoMuffin: IT WORKZ mwahahaha (thanks)
[03:11] <Lirth> DinoMuffin: It happens only once per time I turn the computer on. After that it's fine until I turn off the computer again.
[03:12] <themaster_> I need help with ubuntu server getting a command to run on boot
[03:13] <pfifo> !ask | themaster_
[03:13] <DinoMuffin> Nach0z: no prob :)
[03:13] <DinoMuffin> Lirth: oh
[03:14] <DinoMuffin> Lirth: sorry I misunderstood, I thought it was kernel panicking
[03:14] <themaster_> problem is this is urgent DX
[03:14] <evoandroidevo> themaster_ ask in more detail
[03:14] <LABcrab> pfifo: It's brand new and sealed from the store!  Unlikely it won't work.  What do i do with the 2 GB and 2 GB i have left?  Other computers with DDR2 won't take them!  Darn, who makes RAM like this?
[03:14] <Lirth> DinoMuffin: I'm completely new to ubuntu and the word kernel keeps coming up. What exactly is it?
[03:14] <themaster_> I need to launch a flash policy daemon on boot so it can run along my IRC server
[03:15] <themaster_> I have no idea how to start..
[03:15] <xangua> Lirth: the linux kernel
[03:15] <DinoMuffin> Lirth: kernel panic is the equivilant of a windows BSOD, basically
[03:15] <pfifo> LABcrab, I suggest you mail the 2 2GB to me.
[03:15] <DinoMuffin> Lirth: means something pretty bad happened and it can no longer run
[03:15] <LABcrab> pfifo: As a donation?
[03:16] <evoandroidevo> LABcrab u could sell them or keep them in case ur ram goes bad better safe than sorry
[03:16] <scientes> DinoMuffin, he is just seeing informational messages, probably on boot
[03:16] <DinoMuffin> Lirth: when it happens, either the computer completely freeses and nothing happens, or it goes to a terminal screen that gives you a stack trace
[03:16] <scientes> Lirth, to see kernel information, largely about hardware, type dmesg
[03:16] <LABcrab> evoandroidevo: Never had a RAM problem for almost four years on my older laptop, but maybe.
[03:17] <evoandroidevo> the computer im on now the ram goes out easily but its not mine so idc
[03:17] <pfifo> LABcrab, also, intel made memory like this
[03:17] <DinoMuffin> if it's a software error, as in you can still use your computer after the crash, it will likely be in your syslog file, rather than dmesg
[03:17] <LABcrab> What about my mouse being "trapped" at the bottom right, and i have to jig it out to get it out?
[03:18] <pfifo> LABcrab, I would keep the sticks, you might obtain a craptastic used box in the future that could use them
[03:18] <Guest32940> hi
[03:18] <DinoMuffin> Lirth: sorry if that's confusing, but if it's a kernel panic, you cannot use your computer until you manually restart it again
[03:18] <LABcrab> i guess.  They're only worth $12.50 a piece anyway, if you consider 4 GB = $25.
[03:18] <LABcrab> But the mouse problem is bugging me.  Fix please?
[03:18] <Lirth> DinoMuffin: I don't think it's that. It crashes and takes me to the log in screen, but I don't have to restart.
[03:19] <Nach0z> DinoMuffin: in the time that my ubuntu's been offline... I just did sudo apt-get update... 579 packages to be updated :| almost 600 megs
[03:19] <DinoMuffin> Lirth: ok, what it's doing then is killing the X server
[03:19] <DinoMuffin> Lirth: and restarting it
[03:19] <Guest32940> colorado state
[03:19] <DinoMuffin> Nach0z: lol, have fun with that
[03:19] <MrKeuner> hello, default LANG for a box is A, if I want B as for my user, how should I be handling this? I guess I should write LANG=B somewhere? .bashrc? .bash_login?
[03:19] <DinoMuffin> :{
[03:19] <DinoMuffin> :P
[03:20] <Nach0z> DinoMuffin: ikr :'<
[03:20] <scientes> B? LANG=C
[03:20] <DinoMuffin> Lirth: anyways, the log for that is Xorg.0.log.old
[03:20] <themaster_> >*>
[03:20] <xangua> MrKeuner: select the language on your login screen
[03:20] <scientes> export LANG=C
[03:20] <DinoMuffin> Lirth: if you can pastebin that, that would be awesome
[03:20] <scientes> otherwise you need a read region, ie LANG=zh_CN
[03:20] <evoandroidevo> brb
[03:20] <cyclicflux> Hello all!!!!
[03:21] <tycel2> hello
[03:21] <Lirth> DinoMuffin: As I said, I'm new to linux and ubunu, so... Huh? What is Xorg.0.log.old?
[03:21] <pfifo> MrKeuner, I put it in .profile
[03:21] <scientes> LANG=C means to skip gettext, and use the original text, instead of the translations
[03:21] <MrKeuner> xangua, no X access here
[03:21] <tycel2> so, appearantly Ubuntu wubi didn't find my drivers properly for my video card
[03:21] <DinoMuffin> Lirth: Xorg is the graphical user interface manager, so to speak.
[03:21] <scientes> MrKeuner, you see my stuff about LAND?
[03:21] <MrKeuner> pfifo, does that work for ssh sessions?
[03:21] <tycel2> its nvidia I believe (atleast it says so on the toshiba website)
[03:21] <scientes> *LANG
[03:21] <tycel2> so what do I have to install to get them to wrok?
[03:21] <DinoMuffin> Lirth: when programs crash under linux, they forward their error messages to /var/log
[03:21] <LABcrab> Am i the only person in the world that gets the mouse stuck on the bottom right, and then when i try to get it out, i have to shake it very hard so it moves elsewhere on the screen?
[03:21] <tycel2> work*?
[03:22] <tycel2> catalayst?
[03:22] <evoandroidevo> ahh better
[03:22] <dr_willis> hmm?
[03:22] <Guest32940> @Labcrap are you using a vm
[03:22] <MrKeuner> scientes, just notices, nut don't understand if I need de_DE.utf would still LANG=C work?
[03:22] <Lirth> DinoMuffin: I found it. Should I paste the whole thing?
[03:22] <DinoMuffin> Lirth: the file Xorg.0.log.old is the log from the last time X server ran
[03:22] <DinoMuffin> Lirth: yeah
[03:22] <pfifo> lol labcrap
[03:23] <scientes> MrKeuner, LANG=C gives you english, for 99.9% percent of packages, as most packages are written in english
[03:23] <LABcrab> Guest21792: one, it's "crab", two, i use VirtualBox once in a while, but happens with or without VBox.
[03:23] <scientes> but they don't have to be written in english, and otherwise you need the specific region code, even if en_US
[03:23] <Lirth> DinoMuffin: I can't figure out how to open it. I can't seem to find the way to open it in a text editor
[03:23] <scientes> *.utf8
[03:23] <cyclicflux> I am having some kind of strange issue with regard to my monitor intermittently going to sleep while I am using my computer. It goes to sleep fine when it is left, however, when I am using it, it appears that it intermittently goes to sleep. I changed my graphics settings to kms for my ati-5770, and blacklisted the appropriate modules in '/etc/modprobe.d/', as well as updated the 'GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT', with the 'radeon.m
[03:23] <cyclicflux> odeset=1', and then ran 'update-grub'
[03:24] <LABcrab> For example, i'm running Ubuntu natively right now, mouse gets stuck at bottom right unless i shake very hard.
[03:24] <themaster_> How do I get ubuntu server to initiate a command on boot?
[03:24] <scientes> LABcrab, that sounds very strange
[03:24] <cyclicflux> however, this appears to still intermittently happen, its kind of sporadic, and random, but has a tendency of coming in bursts
[03:24] <DinoMuffin> Lirth: if you're at a terminal, run "gedit Xorg.0.log.old"
[03:24] <DinoMuffin> Lirth: otherwise right click and open it with gedit
[03:24] <cyclicflux> themaster, I would think it would be something either in grub, or init-scripts
[03:25] <dr_willis> themaster_:  /etc/rc.local is one way
[03:25] <Lirth> DinoMuffin: Ok, it is at http://pastebin.com/KATsrmfr
[03:25] <pfifo> MrKeuner, yes if your shell is /ben/bash on the remote machine
[03:25] <pfifo> bin
[03:25] <themaster_> dr_willis how would I do it with that?
[03:26] <LABcrab> scientes: Why does this happen?  One of my only Ubuntu problems.
[03:26] <DinoMuffin> Lirth: thanks
[03:26] <cyclicflux> themaster, that would def. work, or you could source a script in your xsession. But it is important to remember what run-level you want it to occur on.
[03:26] <dr_willis> themaster_:  edit the file. its a script
[03:26] <themaster_> well it is a flashpolicy daemon
[03:26] <cyclicflux> Is anyone familiar with this happening with the hibernate/etc... of the monitor??? I am beginning to think that I am just going to have to recompile the damn kernel to get rid of the excess fat.
[03:27] <dr_willis> themaster_:  x gui app?
[03:27] <MrKeuner> pfifo, what about cron running as your user? can it have the LANG variable when you put it in .profile?
[03:27] <themaster_> No, not GUI its all terminal ubuntu server dr_willis
[03:27] <dr_willis> themaster_:  try rc.local then
[03:27] <DinoMuffin> Lirth: one more question, did this just start happening recently?
[03:27] <pfifo> MrKeuner, cron uses a blank enviroment, you need to take care to setup things correctly in cron
[03:27] <themaster_> dr_willis, it starts like ./flashpolicyd.rb
[03:27] <North_> ihavnoth:  Are you Korean?
[03:28] <cyclicflux>  I am having some kind of strange issue with regard to my monitor intermittently going to sleep while I am using my computer. It goes to sleep fine when it is left, however, when I am using it, it appears that it intermittently goes to sleep. I changed my graphics settings to kms for my ati-5770, and blacklisted the appropriate modules in '/etc/modprobe.d/', as well as updated the 'GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT', with the 'radeon.
[03:28] <cyclicflux> modeset=1', and then ran 'update-grub'. Does anyone know what else it could be?
[03:28] <MrKeuner> pfifo, ah OK, always thought my scripts not running well in cron was due to .bashrc .profile .bash_login confusion
[03:28] <dr_willis> themaster_:  use the full path and end it with &  in rc.local
[03:29] <DinoMuffin> cyclicflux: does it only happen under ubuntu?
[03:29] <Lirth> DinoMuffin: I just started with Linux after Christmas this year, and I didn't start using the Roboform Extension until about a week or two afterwards. I really started noticing it after I experienced it a few times which was last weekish. So it's been going on for almost the entire time.
[03:29] <evandro> hello
[03:30] <DinoMuffin> Lirth: ok
[03:30] <evandro> any asterisk users?
[03:30] <evoandroidevo> gtg
[03:30] <scientes> !any
[03:30] <scientes> evandro, #asterisk
[03:31] <evandro> I use freepbx
[03:31] <_pr0t0type_> hey guys, I put some old ppa repository that no longer works (url is dead), I deleted it from my /ect/apt/sources.list, however every time I run 'sudo apt-get update' the upgrade complains about errors from the already deleted deb ppa.  Is there anyway to fix this?
[03:31] <evandro> I just upgraded from 2.9 to 2.10 and I have problem with IRV
[03:32] <DinoMuffin> Lirth: well it's definitely crashing the X server, and it's not an unknown problem
[03:32] <Lirth> DinoMuffin: Is that good or bad?
[03:33] <cyclicflux> DinoMuffin, well aside from windows and ubuntu, I have had archlinux on here, however, not long enough to see it happen. It starts up, and then I did the kms setting and then it stopped for like a few weeks
[03:34] <cyclicflux> DinoMuffin, I thought maybe it could have been something in xorg setup. However, ubuntu's is very different than what I am used to with i.e. gentoo, archlinux, slax etc...
[03:34] <DinoMuffin> Lirth: it's good, it'll give me a better idea of how to approach the issue
[03:35] <cyclicflux> DinoMuffin, I checked the X.org.0.log, and there were no errors, and xsession-errors(I am not that familiar with what to look for in this), as well as the x-configuration
[03:35] <DinoMuffin> Lirth: lemme ask you, are you set on using chrome as your web browser?
[03:36] <DinoMuffin> cyclicflux: well what I was asking is weather or not your monitor is dying
[03:36] <cyclicflux> DinoMuffin, I thought it was the monitor however, it doesn't happen on Windows.
[03:36] <Lirth> DinoMuffin: Does this mean chrome is the cause?
[03:36] <cyclicflux> DinoMuffin, It could very well be(its only a year old)
[03:36] <DinoMuffin> Lirth: it looks like there are known conflicts with roboform and chrome on all operating systems
[03:36] <DinoMuffin> It might not be an issue on firefox
[03:37] <Lirth> DinoMuffin: That's strange. I haven't noticed it on windows 7 on this laptop or on XP at school.
[03:37] <DinoMuffin> cyclicflux: well, if the backlight is dying, the monitor will still have a green light
[03:37] <troy-> i have 11.10 installed - how can i encrypt the entire fs?
[03:37] <DinoMuffin> Lirth: well, those computers probably aren't using the same version of chrome
[03:38] <cyclicflux> DinoMuffin, greenlight? And is there a way to check?
[03:38] <Lirth> DinoMuffin: I just updated it. School doesn't preinstall chrome so I do it myself and it's the most recent version.
[03:38] <DinoMuffin> cyclicflux: if it doesn't have a glowing power button, next time it blanks out, hold a flashlight to the monitor
[03:39] <DinoMuffin> cyclicflux: if there's still a picture, your backlight or controller is dying
[03:39] <DinoMuffin> cyclicflux: if there's no picture at all, it just lost signal
[03:39] <cyclicflux> DinoMuffin, its stating it has lost signal
[03:40] <DinoMuffin> Lirth: I'm not sure how it is for Chrome, but for firefox, it lags behind the windows versions
[03:40] <DinoMuffin> cyclicflux: ok, nevermind then
[03:40] <cyclicflux> DinoMuffin, it says something like going into standby-mode. Do you think its something with the acpi/power-mgmt(thats included in ubuntu) for laptops, or pm-utils that is causing it?
[03:40] <LABcrab> Did i miss anything regarding how to fix the mouse?
[03:40] <DinoMuffin> cyclicflux: only two things I can think of that would shutdown the monitor are power settings and the screensaver program
[03:41] <Lirth> DinoMuffin: Do you have any idea (no matter how unlikely) why it works for windows but not Ubuntu for me?
[03:42] <cyclicflux> DinoMuffin, would you like me to pastebin one of my logs for you to see??
[03:42] <DinoMuffin> Lirth: it's hard to be exactly sure without more information. But there could be an issue between the versions, there could be some rendering issue or memory access violation
[03:43] <DinoMuffin> cyclicflux: sure
[03:43] <Lirth> DinoMuffin: You said that it lags behind the versions. Does this mean that I have to be patient when I'm logging in and let it load?
[03:43] <DinoMuffin> Lirth: usually things don't take down the Xserver though
[03:44] <cyclicflux> DinoMuffin, which one would you like to see xsessionerrors?? or syslog-ng??
[03:44] <DinoMuffin> Lirth: did you say before that it only crashes once and then works fine afterwards?
[03:44] <H264> hey, I have a .deb where the dependency is already met (I compiled and installed it myself), how do I tell dpkg that this dependency is met?
[03:44] <Lirth> DInoMuffin: Correct. It takes me to the log in screen. Then I log in and I can open Chrome, do the same thing, and it works fine.
[03:45] <DinoMuffin> cyclicflux: lemme ask, does it happen when you're typing? Or just when you leave it alone for a few seconds?
[03:45] <MrKeuner> hi, how can I change the LANG that sudo uses?
[03:45] <DinoMuffin> Lirth: that is a bit odd
[03:46] <Lirth> DinoMuffin: Exactly!
[03:46] <MrKeuner> hi, how can I change the LANG that sudo uses? added de_DE.utf8 to /root/.profile but did not work
[03:46] <DinoMuffin> Lirth: lol sorry, it's a pretty complex problem
[03:47] <cyclicflux> DinoMuffin, it happens most of the time when I am typing, and maybe once when I leave it alone. However, it always happens when I am using the computer(as little as once a week, or as much as 8x's a day). Its been going on for like a few weeks or so
[03:47] <DinoMuffin> cyclicflux: but it wakes up afterwards right?
[03:48] <DinoMuffin> Lirth: it's almost acting like there is some driver issue
[03:48] <DinoMuffin> Lirth: but that's not something that normally clears up by itself
[03:48] <cyclicflux> DinoMuffin, yes, if it is in its genuine sleep/hibernation(when I've left the computer). However, when using the PC, and it does it doesn't wake up. Nothing I have tried can wake it, I even tried 'setterm' command from archlinux.org and it didn't work
[03:49] <LABcrab> Nobody has a solution for mouse stuck in lower right corner?  10 minutes before i leave.
[03:49] <Nach0z> LABcrab: I'm assuming you've tried rebooting?
[03:49] <DinoMuffin> cyclicflux: that's bizzare too
[03:50] <DinoMuffin> cyclicflux: almost like its not seeing the interrupt
[03:50] <DinoMuffin> man you people and your weird problems today
[03:50] <DinoMuffin> lol
[03:50] <DinoMuffin> 1 sec
[03:50] <cyclicflux> DinoMuffin, even though the monitor disconnects like its going to sleep, it really isn't due to the fact its not waking up.
[03:50] <unnamed12593> Could someone point me in the right direction here, I'm trying to figure out what channel I should ask a question regarding creating and mounting volumes using dmsetup on ubuntu.  #lvm is completely silent
[03:51] <Lirth> DinoMuffin: Thanks for all the help. Honestly, I have no idea why nice people sit in the chat rooms to help out people like me. I really appreciate it though.
[03:51] <cyclicflux> DinoMuffin, in one of the xsession-error logs, I saw that the gnome-settings-daemon stated it lost connection with the display or screen(or something like that), due to something else using it. However, it didn't disclose what else could be using it.
[03:51] <LABcrab> Nach0z: for the mouse?  Does nothing.
[03:52] <DinoMuffin> Lirth: no problem :). I enjoy doign it
[03:52] <Nach0z> LABcrab: so you HAVE rebooted then. If that didn't help, then I don't know. sounds like either A. a bad driver or B. you got some broke hardware
[03:52] <cyclicflux> DinoMuffin, hahahahahaha I have never had this happen before
[03:52] <DinoMuffin> Lirth: sometiems these problems get really complicated however
[03:53] <LABcrab> Nach0z: will test it on another machine, but yeah, pretty sure it's driver.
[03:53] <Nach0z> LABcrab: sorry I can't help more
[03:53] <semitones> hello
[03:53] <semitones> I'd like to run a script on "resume" -- how can I do that?
[03:54] <Lirth> DinoMuffin: Takes a lot of focus and a lot of time. Wish I had either.
[03:54] <DinoMuffin> cyclicflux: if it happens again, try pressing ctrl + alt + f1 to enter single user mode
[03:54] <semitones> I have a command I run every time I resume from sleep. How can I make it a script that runs automatically?
[03:54] <cyclicflux> DinoMuffin, didn't work, hahahahaha
[03:54] <DinoMuffin> cyclicflux: :|
[03:55] <cyclicflux> DinoMuffin, what could take the connection from gnome-settings-daemon?
[03:55] <dagerik> Ubuntu is not detecting my external 24' screen's highest resolution. I tried adding the 1920x1080 resolution using xrandr like this: http://folk.ntnu.no/dageriv/images/2012-02-01_04.50.38.png But it "Failed to change the screen configuration!". Suggestions?
[03:55] <DinoMuffin> Lirth: i'd reccomend trying it under firefox
[03:55] <DinoMuffin> oh he left
[03:55] <cyclicflux> DinoMuffin, should I maybe re-compile the kernel? Eliminate all modules and make it monolithic?
[03:55] <DinoMuffin> :/
[03:56] <DinoMuffin> cyclicflux: sorry, i don't remember if i asked, but is this a recent thing that has started happening?
[03:57] <Jordan_U> cyclicflux: Making your kernel image more monolithic isn't going to help anything.
[03:57] <cyclicflux> dinomuffin, yes, and I know my problem sucks, I would rather have a different one as well!!
[03:57] <DinoMuffin> cyclicflux: lol
[03:57] <cyclicflux> dinomuffin, hahahahaha
[03:57] <cyclicflux> Jordan_U, why wouldn't it?
[03:58] <DinoMuffin> cyclicflux: well, if its something that just started happening recently...
[03:58] <Jordan_U> cyclicflux: Becuase it's the same code, with the same policy, either way. Why would it?
[03:58] <DinoMuffin> cyclicflux: i know the kernel was updated a few days ago
[03:59] <Barblah> Hi all.  I just upgraded a 10.04.3 machine and got a firefox9 upgrade.  is firefox 3.6 deprecated on 10.4.3?
[03:59] <DinoMuffin> hmmmmmmz
[03:59] <Barblah> and is there anyway to downgrade to 3.6.x?
[03:59] <cyclicflux> Jordan_U, to stream-line it, minimize excess code, as well as load-time, which not only would boost performance it would minimize the likelihood for error, which if my history serves me right is the reason they initially created the monolithic kernel for Multix
[04:00] <Nach0z> Barblah: I don't think there's ANY way to get firefox 3.6 on ubuntu anymore. that's olllld.
[04:00] <floorlava> I have no forward-back icons in epiphany, or power button on GDM. What icon pack am I missing?
[04:00] <DinoMuffin> cyclicflux: well, the fact that single user mode isn't overriding the blank tells me it's gotta be a kernel or driver issue
[04:00] <cyclicflux> DinoMuffin, you want me to pastebin the dmesg log
[04:00] <DinoMuffin> cyclicflux: what's your graphics adapter?
[04:00] <DinoMuffin> cyclicflux: sure
[04:00] <cyclicflux> dinomuffin, ati5770
[04:01] <cyclicflux> dinomuffin, juniper I believe
[04:01] <gopiballava> "The attempt to mount a file system with type swap in SCSI3 (0,0,0), partition #6 (sdb) at none failed"
[04:01] <LABcrab> Good night y'all and thanks!
[04:01] <gopiballava> Why is it trying to set up swap on sdb? Swap is supposed to be sda2
[04:02] <Jordan_U> cyclicflux: Building modules into the kernel doesn't actually make the code more monolithic. Reducing the modules, and thus code, that are loaded *might* make a difference, but I very much doubt it. Most bugs are in the logic of the code interaction with hardware. Neither of those is going to change by building your module into the kernel.
[04:02] <righteousRat> anyone know how to launch a desktop gui over x11
[04:02] <Jordan_U> cyclicflux: *logic of the code or interaction with hardware.
[04:03] <DinoMuffin> the ati driver might also be buggy now
[04:03] <gopiballava> It just hangs at this point. I've tried a few times.
[04:03] <righteousRat> ive seen someone do ssh'd into centos with some command. i think it had nautilus and gnome in the command name but i cant recall at the moment
[04:03] <Barblah> righteousRat: you mean X forwarding?  as in, ssh -YCc blowfish user@host xeyes
[04:03] <righteousRat> hmm let me rephrase my question. anyone know how to launch the desktop gui through ssh -X user@domain
[04:04] <DinoMuffin> try starting the file browser when in the ssh session
[04:04] <righteousRat> Barblah:  theres a command you type in the terminal you ssh'd into and it launches a desktop window
[04:04] <righteousRat> but i cant recall. was hoping someone here might remember it
[04:04] <righteousRat> even just a file browser really would be fine
[04:04] <gopiballava> Booting from USB. Any suggestions?
[04:04] <Barblah> righteousRat: nautilus is what you would want then
[04:04] <DinoMuffin> when in the session, type nautilus
[04:05] <DinoMuffin> yeah
[04:05] <righteousRat> thanks Barblah
[04:05] <gopiballava> (11.10 desktop 32 bit)
[04:06] <Gnea> !flash
[04:06] <gopiballava> I've never had much trouble with Linux installers, *especially* not just randomly hanging with silly error messages like this.
[04:08] <gopiballava> Any suggestions for a less broken installer? CLI installer?
[04:09]  * Gnea frowns at the fact that the flashplugin-installer for 11.04 doesn't install anything that works on amd64 with chromium
[04:09] <cyclicflux> Jordan_U, the basis for my statement was due to the fact that there are unnecessary modules with the ubuntu install things for laptop power-mgmt/etc, and although the modules are blacklisted, and the kernel has the right modules, there could still be memory mismanagement from other miscellaneous modules that didn't get filtered in the kernel's logic. Many times I would agree, however, this problem is something that I have tried
[04:09] <cyclicflux>  many things to solve and yet it hasn't worked
[04:09] <gopiballava> Told it not to use swap.  Plus, the ubuntu packages have a tendency of lagging a bit with regard to versions of the code
[04:11] <cyclicflux> DinoMuffin, what do you think. I will gladly pastebin my dmesg log or any other log
[04:11] <DinoMuffin> dmesg would be a good start
[04:11] <gopiballava> What Linux distribution should I switch to? Cause I don't have the patience to deal with installers that hang like this.
[04:12] <dr_willis> gopiballava:  go to the distrowatch website and pick one
[04:12] <Gnea> !ppa
[04:12] <ben_zen> hey, so I've got a question about how the LiveCD creates what it sees as a « hard drive »
[04:13] <J7> my microphone isn't working. can someone please help me?
[04:13] <DinoMuffin> !tmpfs
[04:13] <J7> it's the jack
[04:13] <DinoMuffin> ben_zen: you mean the temp file system?
[04:13] <J7> the microphone input won't work
[04:14] <cyclicflux> DinoMuffin, I checked X.org's site for the ati-5770 support and it is fully supported for KMS, and benchmarks from phoronix state it is undoubtedly faster. The one semi-weird thing I think is that of the connector I am using and that is I believe a parallel port to vga connector(this came with the computer)
[04:14] <ben_zen> DinoMuffin: sort of, I guess.
[04:14] <DinoMuffin> J7: go to your alsamixer and check the mic level
[04:14] <ben_zen> (I'm trying to figure out if I've got a bad memory slot or bad firmware, and this may be the solution.)
[04:15] <DinoMuffin> ben_zen: oh? booting issues?
[04:15] <ben_zen> DinoMuffin: no booting issues
[04:15] <ben_zen> but I installed two 4GB SODIMMs and it's telling me it only sees one
[04:15] <ben_zen> even after flipping them
[04:16] <DinoMuffin> cyclicflux: did you post your dmesg?
[04:16] <ben_zen> however, when I loaded up the live cd, it said I had 3.6GiB of RAM, and 3.9GB of disk space
[04:16] <ben_zen> that looks mysteriously similar to a full 8GB of RAM installed to me.
[04:16] <DinoMuffin> ben_zen: were you using a 32x cd?
[04:16] <ben_zen> DinoMuffin: no, AMD64
[04:18] <DinoMuffin> ben_zen: well tmpfs has a max size limit
[04:18] <DinoMuffin> I think it defaults to half physical ram size
[04:19] <ben_zen> DinoMuffin: that answered my question, I think. The answer isn't pretty, but that's what I was wondering about.
[04:19] <DinoMuffin> I can link you to further specs if you'd like
[04:20] <ben_zen> DinoMuffin: yeah, definitely. I just want to be sure that's what's up
[04:20] <DinoMuffin> I don't remember if a livecd retains that limit or not, but it would make sense given what youv'e said
[04:20] <ben_zen> (since now I get to yell at Apple about EFI not working)
[04:20] <DinoMuffin> ben_zen: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/marcelo/linux-2.4/Documentation/filesystems/tmpfs.txt
[04:21] <ben_zen> yep, half of physical RAM.
[04:21] <ben_zen> Which means Ubuntu could read everything in my system ...
[04:21] <ben_zen> but the Apple Hardware Tool, OS X itself, and memtest couldn't … -_-
[04:22] <DinoMuffin> ben_zen: osx couldn't read >4gb o_O
[04:22] <J7> my mic levels are all the way up, DinoMuffin
[04:22] <ben_zen> DinoMuffin: I think it's an EFI problem
[04:22] <DinoMuffin> ben_zen: oh
[04:22] <ben_zen> because it's only reading the existence of a SODIMM in bank0/dimm0
[04:22] <ben_zen> bank1/dimm0 reads as empty
[04:23] <DinoMuffin> ben_zen: weird
[04:23] <ben_zen> DinoMuffin: in a word, yes. This was happening before, too, I discovered … when I cracked the case, expecting to see one DIMM, and saw two.
[04:23] <ben_zen> (I upgraded from 4GB to 8GB today, only I thought I was upgrading from 2GB)
[04:24] <DinoMuffin> J7: what are you trying to do, if you don't mind me asking?
[04:24] <J7> I'm trying to get my mic to work on Skype, DinoMuffin
[04:24] <J7> it doesn't work for anything, DinoMuffin
[04:25] <byoungmn> Is the mic working on anything else???
[04:25] <J7> ni
[04:25] <J7> no
[04:25] <byoungmn> Oh, you answered that
[04:25] <J7> I know the mic itself works
[04:26] <J7> works with other computers
[04:26] <byoungmn> Do the speakers work
[04:26] <J7> yes
[04:27] <byoungmn> just not the mic
[04:27] <ben_zen> DinoMuffin: thanks for the help!
[04:28] <J7> byoungman, that's right
[04:28] <J7> byoungmn, that is correct
[04:29] <byoungmn> Are you sure the mic port on the card is good
[04:29] <J7> no, i'm not
[04:30] <byoungmn> I'd first try a meter on the port and see if your gettign a signal from the port
[04:30] <gopiballava> Ok, bug report for the installer filed.
[04:30] <byoungmn> play some music
[04:31] <byoungmn> into the mic
[04:32] <byoungmn> or a card if you have a known good one
[04:32] <harris> hello
[04:32] <DinoMuffin> hi
[04:33] <harris> i tried making linux USB bootable
[04:33] <cyclicflux> DinoMuffin, well thanks for your help, I know there is some logical explanation for it, however as of now no one has been sure. I feel like I need to find someone or some instructions that are very very illustrative of the inner-workings of x, framebuffer, graphics/video, & debugging the kernel. This is undoubtedly the most terrible of terrible problems.
[04:33] <harris> on thumbdrive
[04:33] <harris> i tried unetbootin
[04:33] <cyclicflux> hahahahahahahahaha
[04:33] <DinoMuffin> cyclicflux: lol, sorry bout that
[04:33] <harris> but my computer will not boot from it, it keeps getting stuck on here http://askubuntu.com/questions/68781/installation-problems-on-dell-xps-15z
[04:33] <harris> and keeps refreshing
[04:33] <harris> i used a sandisk cruzer usb drive, could that sandisk be the problem?
[04:34] <kurtul> how can i type 5digit unicode characters? i can type 4 digits using ctrl+shift+u+4digit.
[04:34] <cyclicflux> DinoMuffin, its all good you def. recommended everything that I eventually found to do in the past few weeks. Do you think I should move up to ubuntu 11.04, I am using ubuntu 10.04 Backtrack 5 R1 with gnome2
[04:34] <cyclicflux> dinomuffin, as of now
[04:34] <em> is there a way to view all used sockets and release them if wanted?
[04:35] <DinoMuffin> cyclicflux: oh, any reason you're holding back?
[04:35] <Guest12237> hello all, Is it possible to encrypt the main folder after i have already installed ubuntu.or can that only bee done via installation
[04:36] <DinoMuffin> harris: probably not
[04:36] <cyclicflux> dinomuffin, because I am using backtrack's ubuntu. Is there a way to avoid having to re-install by changing the sources.list, and going with the official ubuntu 11.04 repositories???
[04:36] <cyclicflux> dinomuffin, it does look pretty sick, it being ubuntu 11.04
[04:37] <Guest12237> anyone know
[04:37] <DinoMuffin> cyclicflux: it's not something i've attempted before
[04:37] <Guest12237> if i can somehow encrypt my files after the installation proccess
[04:37] <cyclicflux> dinomuffin, I know typically one would only have to do a 'apt-get update && apt-get upgrade' followed by an 'apt-get dist-upgrade'
[04:37] <benbloom> is tehre a way to route my webcam through vlc, in such a way that skype will recognize vlc's output as a webcam?
[04:38] <cyclicflux> DinoMuffin, do you think it would work??
[04:38] <DinoMuffin> cyclicflux: for backtrack?
[04:38] <Guest12237> that sounds interesting benbloom?
[04:39] <DinoMuffin> cyclicflux: i doubt going from bt to stock ubuntu through updates would go smoothly
[04:39] <Guest12237> Does Anyone know if it is possible to turn on encryption for my main folder After the installation process
[04:39] <benbloom> well Guest12237, most webcams come with a bundled app that allows you to preprocess video before skype/msn or whatever. I'm looking to VLC to do the same i guess
[04:40] <DinoMuffin> depends on how the kernel handles the camera
[04:40] <Guest12237> Yea true my logitech has this little program that lets you add things to it like back grounds etc. it also allows you to Pan tilt and zoom
[04:40] <Guest12237> pre skype
[04:40] <Guest12237> Does Anyone know if it is possible to turn on encryption for my main folder After the installation process
[04:41] <harris> what is BSSID for wireless connection?
[04:41] <DinoMuffin> Guest12237: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory#Setup_Your_Encrypted_Private_Directory
[04:41] <Guest12237> thanks
[04:42] <DinoMuffin> harris: you mean the mac address?
[04:42] <Guest12237> is this the same thing that is available in the installation process
[04:43] <DinoMuffin> or sorry not mac address
[04:43] <DinoMuffin> media access control
[04:43] <DinoMuffin> wait
[04:43] <Guest12237> i assumed it encrypted all of your files, from the glance that i gave it it looks like it makes a ./private dir
[04:43] <Ben64> mac address
[04:43] <DinoMuffin> damn i need to go to bed
[04:44] <DinoMuffin> my brain decided they weren't the same thing for some reaosn
[04:44] <cyclicflux> dinomuffin, werrrrrd!!! I am going to have to get going to bed as well shortly myself
[04:44] <cyclicflux> dinomuffin, thanks again bro
[04:44] <DinoMuffin> cyclicflux: no prob man
[04:46] <gopiballava> Hmm. So there are these warnings about Debian mirrors throttling bandwidth. I wonder what they throttle it to. I'm getting just over 25 mbits/sec.
[04:46] <rick__> anyone familiar with bluefish
[04:48] <xangua> !anyone | rick__
[04:48] <rick__> i opened it up and created a html doc very simple just a background color and put it on the server and thier is no color present
[04:48] <DinoMuffin> pastebin the code
[04:49] <DinoMuffin> even though its not really a ubuntu problem
[04:49] <harris> how do i setup wireless on LUBUNTU?
[04:49] <harris> when i try UBUNTU the wireless is very easy, but on LUBUNTU its not showing up right away, in fact, it does not even show the wireless card LED lighting up
[04:49] <danes> which is the best action game for ubuntu?
[04:50] <redscare> hello. is there a way to have alt-tab always show a window preview in unity?
[04:50] <aeon-ltd> danes: no best, and discuss in #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:51] <danes> aeon-ltd, I already did and nobody wants to discuss
[04:51] <rick__> can anyone anser?
[04:51] <Sebastien> answer *
[04:51] <Sebastien> rick__ this is #ubuntu not #html :/
[04:51] <Sebastien> people might not know.
[04:52] <DinoMuffin> rick__: it's either gunna be a problem with the html code, your browser (unlikely), or apache (very unlikely)
[04:53] <sqeeKEY> Does anyone know how to use fbsplash?
[04:55] <noyb> Hello.  I'm using Ubuntu 11.10.  When I tried to mount a cd-rom using gmount I got the little gmount-iso window.  It asks for the "image file (.iso).  No matter what I try it seems impossible to mount.  I've also tried using the command line.  I've looked online for a gmount tutorial.  The only ones I've found assume that you know how to figure out what the .iso file is on the cd-rom you are trying to mount.  I am thoroughly confused.  Any idea
[04:55] <redscare> is there anything that I can do to bind keys to window actions
[04:55] <noyb> s, anybody.  Thanks in advance from a lost noob.
[04:56] <Ben64> noyb: i'm confused, are you trying to mount a cd or an iso
[04:56] <DinoMuffin> noyb: what command did you try?
[04:56] <rick__> its coded like the book says
[04:57] <rick__> and it has always worked
[04:57] <noyb> Hello, Ben64... I'm trying to mount a cd-rom for my d-link dir-615 router.
[04:57] <cheapie> I accidentaly melted my keyboard. Can somebody suggest a good virtual keyboard?
[04:57] <Ben64> noyb: you don't need a cd for a router
[04:58] <harris> i want to make a bootable USB linux that actually works
[04:58] <harris> how?
[04:58] <pedahzur> Does anyone know why Chromium Browser is at v16 for i386 but only v14 for AMD64?
[04:58] <pedahzur> harris: unetbootin
[04:59] <dagerik> harris: Use startup disk creator or some other tool for creating startupdisks. One such other program is unetbootin
[04:59] <DinoMuffin> harris: what drive are you using?
[04:59] <noyb> Ben64... originally, I set up the router with the cd-rom... then forgot my password... I want to reset & reinstall the software... to do that I assume that I will need to use the cd-rom... just like last time.  Yes?  No?
[04:59] <cheapie> Hello? Anybody?
[04:59] <Ben64> noyb: you can reset the router with the button on the back of it
[04:59] <noyb> understood...
[05:00] <DinoMuffin> resetting the router doesn't erase the firmware
[05:00] <Ben64> noyb: also, the software on the cd is unnecessary and probably windows only
[05:00] <goddard> i can't click on the flash "Allow" button
[05:00] <goddard> it does nothing
[05:00] <LordKow> but resetting a router does reset the settings. beyond that there is not much else for a router reset button to reset.
[05:00] <DinoMuffin> cheapie: why not buy a new keyboard?
[05:01] <gandhijee> hey is there away to get a list of the recently installed packages, and what they mighthave changed?
[05:01] <goddard> anyone know how i can click it?
[05:01] <noyb> thanks, DinoMuffin...  understood LordKow...  be all that as it may... the real question is how to mount the cd-rom...
[05:02] <harris> i used UNETbootin
[05:02] <noyb> that is my primary area of confusion... or maybe not :-)
[05:02] <buntu> Can I use a capture card in ubuntu without mythtv?
[05:02] <harris> but now everytime i try to boot into the USB it gets stuck on the loadign screen
[05:02] <Ben64> noyb: the software on the cd will most likely not work in ubuntu
[05:03] <cheapie> DinoMuffin: I don't think my parents will take me to the store right now. I'm supposed to be sleeping...
[05:03] <harris> i keep getting stuck here: http://www.liberiangeek.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Install-Ubuntu-.04-Natty-Narwhal-via-USB_AB0F/natty_unethbootin_3.png
[05:03] <LordKow> noyb, no router should require software to be setup. so, I would maybe go to the router manufacturer's website and find the setup instructions there. having said that, ubuntu should still be able to mount the cd whether it can run the software or not.
[05:03] <DinoMuffin> cheapie: i don't know of any that work *well*, but there are a few in the ubuntu package manager
[05:03] <noyb> hmmm... on the envelope it says "for mac and linux users please use the documentation on the cd located in the 'docs' folder...
[05:03] <DinoMuffin> noyb: why do you need the cd in the first place?
[05:04] <LordKow> router or dsl modem?
[05:04] <harris> is LUBUNTU compatible with unetbootin?
[05:05] <DinoMuffin> noyb: I can't think of why ubuntu would need extra software to use or access a router
[05:05] <cheapie> DinoMuffin: OK. I'll try taking it apart and pressing the rubber domes.
[05:05] <noyb> DinoMuffin... because I can't get into my router to tweak it because I forgot my password & the only way to get in is to start over with a fresh install which can only be accomplished with the cd... unless I'm more of a noob than I thought.
[05:05] <Ben64> noyb: just hold down the reset button on the back of the router for about 30 seconds
[05:06] <noyb> understood...
[05:06] <LordKow> harris, you might have better luck asking in #lubuntu
[05:06] <DinoMuffin> noyb: usually you can hold the reset button down for 10 seconds and it will reset it to factoy defaults
[05:06] <noyb> understood...
[05:06] <DinoMuffin> noyb: then look up the model of your router and find the default password
[05:06] <DinoMuffin> noyb: it's usually some combination of admin and password
[05:07] <urlin2u> harris, should be but there are other usb loader look at pendrivelinux
[05:07] <urlin2u> loaders*
[05:07] <harris> ok, should my drive be FAT32 or NTFS? or it does not matter?
[05:07] <urlin2u> harris, fat32
[05:07] <harris> how can i see what my drive is right now?
[05:08] <harris> from windows 7
[05:08] <harris> oh nevermind, it is fat32 alread
[05:08] <urlin2u> harris, in the disk utility  in ubuntu or install gparted it is a partitioner as well
[05:08] <harris> should i format it and try again with pendrivelinux? i already made one with unetbootin
[05:08] <ubuntunewbie> Hello users , may i know how to access the files located in ubuntu ..those files are on the same partition in which ubuntu has been installed... did wubi...
[05:08] <urlin2u> harris, in ubuntu you can right click the thumb icon and format as well.
[05:09] <noyb> ok... but my problem remains the same... not the router... but how do I mount the cd... as I said, I tried using gmount as well as the command line... until I figure that out everything else is secondary... maybe I didn't explain myself clearly enough at first... it's been a l-o-n-g day.
[05:09] <dagerik> noyb: check out the mount commanad
[05:09] <noyb> tried that
[05:09] <DinoMuffin> noyb: you can mount a cd rom drive with: "sudo mkdir /media/cd ; sudo mount /dev/<cd drive> /media/cd"
[05:09] <DinoMuffin> <cd drive> being the block device for the drive. ususally sr0
[05:09] <harris> http://www.pendrivelinux.com which one do i get?
[05:10] <DinoMuffin> unmount with "sudo umount /media/cd"
[05:12] <noyb> I'll give it a try DinoMuffin... brb
[05:14] <cordoval> where do i find this folder? cd /apacheserverroot/conf/ssl.key (ssl.key is the default key directory.)
[05:15] <buntu> Is the ubuntu software center downloading things very slow - is that my problem or perhaps the application I'm downloading?
[05:15] <Zandow-X> hello
[05:15] <urlin2u> harris, one that is for linux
[05:15] <urlin2u> harris, I think unetbootin will do it have youtried?
[05:15] <Zandow-X> alguien habla español??
[05:16] <urlin2u> !es | Zandow-X
[05:16] <harris> yes i tried unetbootin, but now i am trying  pendrivelinux
[05:16] <Zandow-X> jeje es que en ubuntu-es nadie responde
[05:16] <Zandow-X>  veo que aca hay mas movimiento
[05:16] <cordoval> where do i find this ssl.key folderS?
[05:16] <cordoval> cd /apacheserverroot/conf/ssl.key (ssl.key is the default key directory.)
[05:16] <Ben64> Zandow-X: this is an English only channel
[05:16] <haylo> buntu in my experiance software center gets about 100 kb.s so yeah its slow
[05:17] <haylo> but not tooo slow
[05:17] <haylo> there are slower repos to draw from
[05:17] <haylo> try an unsupported local us repo if you really like fast DLs
[05:17] <goddard> i can't click on the flash "Allow" button
[05:18] <haylo> or whatever countries i snearest you
[05:18] <cheapie_> DinoMuffin: I just wanted to let you know that it is working now that I removed the top cover. I am pressing the little rubber domes manually.
[05:19] <buntu> hallo thank you.
[05:19] <saikat> can anyone tell me how to set 1200x800 resolution in ubuntu 10.04
[05:20] <saikat> using xrandr
[05:20] <noyb> DinoMuffin... typed in both items as per your suggestion... although the command line says /media/cd file exists. when i try to access it then it says it can't find /dev/sr0/media/cd in /etc/fstab or
[05:20] <noyb> sorry...
[05:20] <noyb> DinoMuffin... /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[05:21] <urlin2u> harris, I use this one the page is in french if you have your flash block turned off it will let you do a google translate, read carefully I suspect you may have problems, but works you just have to know how to load it. AND use gparted to format the thumb to fat32, http://www.pendrivelinux.com/multiboot-create-a-multiboot-usb-from-linux/
[05:21] <urlin2u> *it
[05:21] <noyb> maybe I should go back to using an abacus... :-)
[05:21] <Guest12237> cya
[05:21] <DinoMuffin> noyb: type lsblk
[05:22] <noyb> Isblk
[05:22] <DinoMuffin> L
[05:22] <urlin2u> harris, I guess it has a download from there now so follow the directions
[05:22] <noyb> lsblk
[05:22] <DinoMuffin> yes
[05:22] <noyb> ok
[05:22] <DinoMuffin> it will show what the block device is fior your cd
[05:22] <DinoMuffin> probably at the end
[05:23] <noyb> ok... checking
[05:23] <harris> pendrivelinux worked!
[05:23] <harris> it worked really well!
[05:23] <harris> thanks
[05:23] <harris> do i HAVE to format the usb drive before doing this process?
[05:25] <saikat> i need to set 1200x800 display resolution in ubuntu 10.04
[05:25] <saikat> can anyone help me
[05:25] <Miggs> Quick check with you guys - should a Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz/4GB/Nvidia m8400GS laptop be laggy with Ubuntu 11.10 in either Unity or Gnome Shell? I don't think it should be but I'm having the damnedest time working out the problem.
[05:26] <noyb> format: name - maj:min - rm - size - ro - mountpoint... as follows: sr0 - 11:0 - 1 - 76.5m - 0 - /media/DIR-615B2
[05:26] <xangua> Miggs: try a live cd and see
[05:26] <__vincent> is ubuntu currently the FASTEST distro?
[05:27] <Miggs> xangua: which live cd? I've got 11.10 on here now and it's laggy and often only does partial screen updates for several seconds.
[05:27] <aeon-ltd> __vincent: fastest for what?
[05:27] <__vincent> boot time and app start up
[05:27] <__vincent> and execution
[05:27] <aeon-ltd> __vincent: heheh no
[05:27] <aeon-ltd> sadly
[05:27] <__vincent> which one would you recommend
[05:27] <xangua> !ot | __vincent
[05:27] <aeon-ltd> __vincent: depends on how much you know and how much spare time you've got
[05:28] <__vincent> you cant compile kernel in ubuntu?
[05:28] <aeon-ltd> __vincent: you can
[05:28] <xangua> you can also try ##linux for a linux general discussion __vincent , but Lubuntu is the lighter flavor of ubuntu, uses lxde destop and few resources
[05:28] <aeon-ltd> __vincent: i'll meet you in ##linux
[05:30] <rick__> anyone know how to change the channel on smuxi to #html
[05:30] <noyb> DinoMuffin... format: name - maj:min - rm - size - ro - mountpoint... as follows: sr0 - 11:0 - 1 - 76.5m - 0 - /media/DIR-615B2
[05:31] <rick__> window
[05:31] <noyb> DinoMuffin... is /media/DIR-615B2 the block device you spoke of?
[05:31] <sartan> ack, forget the package to install to return the old gnome behavior instead of unity.. gnome-something, and apt-cache search is giving me a few too hundred many results
[05:32] <rick__> help please
[05:33] <Ben64> rick__: /join #html
[05:33] <sqeeKEY> Does anyone know how to use fbsplash?
[05:34] <cheapie_> Finished working on my keyboard. Turns out I have 4 backslash keys.
[05:35] <DinoMuffin> oh
[05:35] <DinoMuffin> noyb: there's a space between those two paramaters you put in earlier
[05:35] <__vincent> i cant write to that channel
[05:35] <__vincent> what do you think of this article http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=ubuntu_arch_faster&num=1
[05:35] <DinoMuffin> it should look exactly like this: sudo mount /dev/sr0 /media/cd
[05:36] <urlin2u> sqeeKEY, where you getting it from?
[05:36] <noyb> DinoMuffin... I'll try it again
[05:36] <LordKow> sartan, perhaps you are looking for gnome-session-fallback
[05:36] <sartan> that sounds right, thanks.
[05:36] <cheapie_> Now... is there a way to change the num lock state via software?
[05:37] <dagerik> I just noticed remote desktop is on my startup applications. Is thi sby default in 10.04?
[05:38] <urlin2u> dagerik, yes
[05:38] <acidrain> i have installed a gtk user interface for an application. when i type "monosim" as the tutorial suggests, i get command not found. any solutions?
[05:38] <urlin2u> dagerik, not setup you have to do that.
[05:38] <dagerik> urlin2u: I dont understand your last sentence
[05:39] <sartan> LordKow: aced it, that was exactly what i was looking for. thanks mate
[05:39] <acerimmer> dagerik: yes.
[05:39] <urlin2u> dagerik, you have to set up a remote desktop situation, I never have myself .
[05:39] <noyb> DinoMuffin... typed it exactly... heard the cd drive spool up... "command line says: "mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
[05:40] <urlin2u> !remotedesktop
[05:40] <DinoMuffin> that's fine
[05:40] <DinoMuffin> noyb: go to /media/cd in your file browser and the files will be there
[05:40] <sqeeKEY> urlin2u, I have not got it yet, but just doing some research. I would like to set a background image for the console, I do not use X
[05:40] <DinoMuffin> noyb: unmount it later with: sudo umount /media/cd
[05:40] <DinoMuffin> now it is nappytime
[05:40] <DinoMuffin> g'night
[05:41] <sqeeKEY> urlin2u, I believe I must recompile the kernel for it to work.
[05:41] <urlin2u> sqeeKEY, not in the ubuntu repos not really supported here per say, does not mean nobody will help but I would not hold my breath.
[05:42] <urlin2u> sqeeKEY, I think this is it not sure really. http://www.liberiangeek.net/2010/07/connect-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx-remote-desktop-windows-machines/
[05:42] <noyb> thanks, DinoMuffin... later
[05:42] <urlin2u> sqeeKEY, maybe not either.
[05:43] <sqeeKEY> urlin2u: remote-desktop-windows?
[05:43] <urlin2u> sqeeKEY, there are a number of ways people remote to other computers if you have an I dea what you want to do I would just ask how to do that here.
[05:44] <sqeeKEY> urlin2u: I do not want to remote.. I would like to set the background image for a TTY
[05:44] <sqeeKEY> urlin2u: I think it uses framebuffer
[05:44] <urlin2u> sqeeKEY, way outside my pay range. :D
[05:45] <sqeeKEY> urlin2u: well, thanks for trying ;)
[05:45] <urlin2u> sqeeKEY, np.
[05:45] <sqeeKEY> urlin2u: gentoo, & backtrack both have a nice fbsplash..ubuntu has a splash image for the boot menu but the console is still just black
[05:46] <urlin2u> sqeeKEY, I use burg it is adequate, there is appa for it.
[05:46] <urlin2u> a ppa*
[05:46] <thetinyjesus> does anyone know when ios 5 support will happen?
[05:47] <Ben64> thetinyjesus: what support
[05:47] <thetinyjesus> i can mount my iphone 4s, but when I transfer it says it's successful but the songs don't show up
[05:47] <urlin2u> sqeeKEY, burg is awhole bootloader though just to get a image to choose from you would want to know how to load the mbr.
[05:47] <Zandow-X> i phone sucks!!!
[05:47] <sqeeKEY> urlin2u: burg looks cool
[05:48] <Zandow-X> burg is cool XD
[05:48] <thetinyjesus> actually it does not suck it is nice to have a phone that never crashes or needs to be rebooted kinda like linux on a pc
[05:48] <urlin2u> I have like 5 OS right now on my HD so burg looks nicer with all those kernel lines
[05:49] <thetinyjesus> i just didn't know if there was a way to actually transfer music to an ios 5 device yet
[05:49] <sherif> hi guys anyone knows how to make flash applications works faster on ubuntu
[05:50] <sqeeKEY> urlin2u: what do you need 5 OS for..ubuntu is the only thing needed ;)
[05:50] <urlin2u> sherif, your using chrome or firefox?
[05:50] <acerimmer> urlin2u: commitment issues?
[05:50] <sherif> urlin2u chromium
[05:50] <obelich> hiyas good night all
[05:50] <bullgard4> Who is the user of »User ID 324821 « in http://www.identi.ca/ubuntudev?
[05:50] <urlin2u> sqeeKEY, one is W7 the others are for helping other users on other channels, and I like a variety to learn from.
[05:51] <almoxarife> sherif: which flash version you using?
[05:51] <sqeeKEY> urlin2u: yeah, I use virtualbox :D
[05:51] <obelich> one question anyone know where can download the brainstorm in clean ? http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/
[05:51] <sherif> urlin2u how cud i know?
[05:51] <urlin2u> sqeeKEY, I only have a netbook with 2 gigs ram, so they run to slow in a virtual.
[05:52] <urlin2u> bullgard4, how would we know?
[05:54] <obelich> or any app like ubuntu brainstorm
[05:54] <obelich> ?
[05:54] <sherif> urlin2u i update my system from update manager is flash included?
[05:54] <sherif> urlin2u or it has different update?
[05:54] <urlin2u> sherif, not n a stock setup in chromium I don't know don't use it.
[05:54] <urlin2u> in
[05:54] <sherif> almoxarife how cud i know
[05:55] <sherif> urlin2u do u use mozilla?
[05:55] <urlin2u> sherif, yeah F with some select addons runs pretty fast.
[05:55] <urlin2u> firefox
[05:56] <sherif> urlin2u i c so there shud be addons for chromium too right?
[05:56] <almoxarife> bullgard4: http://identi.ca/conversation/89569647#notice-89757060 <-- that help?
[05:57] <urlin2u> sherif, don't use it not sure, if there is not even a 1% of FF's addons at best
[05:57] <urlin2u> sherif, what is your chip speed and ram amount?
[05:57] <almoxarife> sherif: u kud luk at i-der extensions or plugins
[05:58] <sherif> urlin2u dont know but flas works well on windows
[05:58] <sherif> almoxarife where is that
[05:58] <sherif> flash*
[05:59] <goddard> anyone used luckyBackup?
[06:00] <urlin2u> goddard, I like grsync better for a gui back up using rsync.
[06:01] <almoxarife> sherif: flash is an installed app, what ever you use to install apps should allow you to look for 'flash', i use synaptic, so i would look for 'flash' in the 'installed' tab, i would see that i installed the official adobe flash for amd64
[06:01] <urlin2u> goddard, you want a full OS backup?
[06:02] <goddard> urlin2u: complete as possible would be nice but mostly just configuration settings and home information
[06:02] <goddard> urlin2u: i would like the option though so i can make a complete back up at times but then switch to a simple one later
[06:02] <urlin2u> goddard, I just use grsync for home and clonezilla for the whole OS.
[06:02] <sherif> almoxarife its adobe flash plugin for mozilla maybe thats y it doesnt work well with chromium
[06:03] <almoxarife> goddard: when you are done fiddling with all the various methods look at 'deja-dup', its too simple and allows for restoring via nautilus files/folders
[06:04] <goddard> urlin2u: ahh nice those look good
[06:04] <goddard> anyone else have problems with flash that needs you to click their warning menu ? i can't click on the flash "Allow" button
[06:04] <almoxarife> sherif: no, cant be, i use chromium, and adobe flash 64, then again 'fast' is relative, i dont know what you are seeing that is 'slow'
[06:05] <urlin2u> goddard, I also have all ny own stuff on a external drive mostly just the OS on the netbook.
[06:05] <sherif> almoxarifeflashplugin-installer <IP_ADDRESS>ubuntu<IP_ADDRESS> i have this version installed
[06:06] <sherif> almoxarife flashplugin-installer <IP_ADDRESS>ubuntu<IP_ADDRESS>
[06:06] <almoxarife> goddard: flash running on what comes up with a warning?
[06:06] <urlin2u> !rsync
[06:06] <sherif> almoxarife when u play flash games on facebook its very slow
[06:06] <bullgard4> almoxarife: How does http://identi.ca/conversation/89569647#notice-89757060 answer my question?
[06:07] <codepython777> I want to convert a png file to a windows ".ico"file on ubuntu. I tried "convert" but it errors out --convert: width or height exceeds limit  -- any other ideas?
[06:07] <almoxarife> sherif: i have 'adobe-flash' installed, you on a 32bit system?
[06:08] <sherif> almoxarife yes
[06:08] <almoxarife> bullgard4: should have answered the 'who' wrote it
[06:09] <LordKow> codepython777, i believe you want your png to be 256x256 or smaller, has to be square as well
[06:09] <sherif> almoxarife is it adobe flash plugin 11
[06:09] <codepython777> LordKow: it indeed is
[06:09] <almoxarife> sherif: yeap
[06:09] <bullgard4> almoxarife: You said: "{It} should." But did it?
[06:09] <codepython777> i even tried 128x128 -- same error
[06:10] <LordKow> what about 48x48 just for testing purposes?
[06:10] <sherif> almoxarife there are 2 softwares in the software store
[06:10] <almoxarife> sherif: do i guess what they are?
[06:10] <codepython777> cant live with that size
[06:11] <urlin2u> codelurker, resize in gimp
[06:11] <acerimmer> codepython777: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa511280.aspx
[06:11] <Jimu_> Ubuntu's (11.10) default desktop is Gnome 3? Unity is just the launcher on the left, right?
[06:11] <urlin2u> codepython777, resize in gimp
[06:11] <bullgard4> Jimu_: No.
[06:11] <urlin2u> Jimu_, unity is its own desktop, nt gnome 3
[06:12] <urlin2u> not*
[06:12] <bullgard4> Jimu_: Default is Unity.
[06:12] <sherif> almoxarife 1-Adobe Flash plugin installer for the Adobe Flash plugin for Mozilla  2-Adobe flash plugin 10
[06:12] <almoxarife> bullgard4: yes it did, google is a power tool, may i help you in its use? i would recommend 'googlizer' for gnome, i have a script that would do same for kde
[06:13] <idarkside> hi
[06:13] <idarkside> how can i install sslv2 on ubuntu
[06:13] <Jimu_> Okay, so Unity is Gtk 3.0 then? Cause I can alter the desktop icon text colors under /usr/share/themes/THEMENAME/...something i forget
[06:13] <almoxarife> sherif: be reckless, try the 11
[06:13] <sherif> almoxarife i did
[06:14] <codepython777> png -> ico converters on ubuntu? any?
[06:14] <LordKow> Jimu_, do not feel like you're the only lost linux user, most are. there are layers upon layers of APIs
[06:15] <Jimu_> If I'm trying to learn how to create a window/shell theme for Ubuntu's Unity, do I aim for Gtk 3.0?
[06:15] <LordKow> frontends to the frontends of the backends which frontend ten more backends and it never ends
[06:15] <almoxarife> sherif: when all is done i dont think you will see any appreciable change, but who knows, i believe your slow flash is a slow connection
[06:15] <Jimu_> LordKow: heh, yep
[06:15] <idarkside> possible
[06:15] <sherif> almoxarife i dont think so its 1 mega and i told u it works very fine on windows
[06:15] <idarkside> ?
[06:15] <bullgard4> almoxarife: i asked at the outset: "Who is the user of »User ID 324821 « in http://www.identi.ca/ubuntudev?" Now you are telling me "google is a power tool." Is that all you are able to answer this question? I know Goggle well, and this does not answer my question at the outset.
[06:16] <scriptwarlock> The problem is the login screen is divided into two showing a onscreen keyboard like thing in the left side and the same magnified in the other side
[06:16] <scriptwarlock> anyone?
[06:16] <almoxarife> sherif: windows then sounds like the ticket, i am telling you now
[06:17] <scriptwarlock> anyone knows how to sort this out?: The problem is the login screen is divided into two showing a onscreen keyboard like thing in the left side and the same magnified in the other side
[06:17] <Jimu_> scriptwarlock: this is on a desktop computer?
[06:17] <scriptwarlock> Jimu_: yes
[06:17] <idarkside> how can i install sslv2 on ubuntu please
[06:17] <sherif> almoxarife wut ticket?
[06:17] <Ben64> you can install flash from adobe.com
[06:17] <Jimu_> scriptwarlock: and this happened on a new install, or maybe a reboot after an ill-conceived config change?
[06:17] <scriptwarlock> Jimu_:  can't launch safe mode can't type any letters nothing but a magnifier
[06:18] <scriptwarlock> Jimu_:  not fresh install
[06:18] <scriptwarlock> Jimu_:  kids playing the login screen, darn
[06:19] <Ben64> have you tried turning it off and then on again?
[06:19] <scriptwarlock> Jimu_:  but i have now fired the live cd but i need to locate the on screen keyboard to disable, you have idea where to hunt the config?
[06:19] <idarkside> _m2crypto is calling sslv2qq in ubuntu n i need to fix it plz
[06:20] <Jimu_> scriptwarlock: ugh, that's the worst. The right side of the screen is a magnified view of the left side? does it move? i don't know anything about it, but this is gathering details
[06:20] <scriptwarlock> Jimu_:  yeah worst than i think of, yes magnified but it's black so i'm dead blind to the login screen.
[06:22] <Jimu_> sounds like two different accessibility features at once - a zoom feature and the virtual keyboard feature. I'd start by looking up how to turn on and off those features on the login. The kids didn't actually log in, right? so it must be settings you can make from the login?
[06:23] <scriptwarlock> Jimu_:  yeah
[06:24] <urlin2u> scriptwarlock, your going to have to change your nic now. :D
[06:24] <scriptwarlock> Jimu_:  the only remedy i think was to hunt down the conf file via live cd heres the command to disable but i have no clue where to find this file "sudo -u gdm gconftool-2 /desktop/gnome/applications/at/screen_magnifier_enabled --type bool --set false"
[06:24] <scriptwarlock> urlin2u: why?
[06:25] <Jimu_> scriptwarlock: looks like something called orca is involved with both accessibility features
[06:25] <urlin2u> scriptwarlock, a nic like that i am surprised your even asking, just ribbing yiu.
[06:25] <urlin2u> you
[06:25] <scriptwarlock> urlin2u: heheh
[06:25] <urlin2u> orca is what I thought to
[06:25] <idarkside> please can someone answer me
[06:25] <scriptwarlock> Jimu_:  ok so where can i find the orca config file so that i can disable via text editor
[06:26] <acerimmer> idarkside: greetings
[06:26] <idarkside> hi
[06:26] <Jimu_> scriptwarlock: i'm googling here, no direct knowledge
[06:26] <idarkside> how can i install sslv2 on ubuntu please
[06:26] <wrektjet> is there a way to end the activity in a terminal without closing it for example I initiated top and want to end it w/o closing the terminal bec its running via a program called guake
[06:26] <scriptwarlock> Jimu_:  phew darn kids
[06:26] <urlin2u> idarkside, sslv2qq shows nothing on google.
[06:26] <urlin2u> empty page
[06:27] <idarkside> sslv2
[06:27] <Jimu_> scriptwarlock: what version of Ubuntu?
[06:27] <scriptwarlock> Jimu_:  10.04
