[14:20] <tomodachi> does anyone haw a quick fick for ultra slow workspace switching performance? im on latest ubuntu nvidia proprietary driver
[14:20] <brahmana> szal: btw, I been following this post : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=508927 to reset the MBR and it suggests use of the package ms-sys which now seems to be removed from repo for licensing issues. Is mbr the right package to use now?
[14:20] <Traintop> pokoko222: mom
[14:20] <tktiddle> Ive enabled the partners repo but i cant find sun-java6-jdk
[14:20] <pokoko222> Traintop mom?
[14:20] <brahmana> BluesKaj: I am pretty sure I deleted the Ubuntu parition. Though I had that other problem that you stated quite a few years ago... :)
[14:21] <Traintop> pokoko222: wait a moment :-) german-online-gamer-language :-)
[14:21] <szal> brahmana: reinstalling Grub should do, unless the installation is so b0rked that even more stuff is missing
[14:21] <szal> !grub | brahmana
[14:21] <Traintop> pokoko222: install freeglut3-dev
[14:21] <tktiddle> How do i install sun/oracle java?
[14:21] <Traintop> pokoko222: packets with a red ubuntu-icon are always good to install :-)
[14:21] <kiichiro> natrixnatrix89, wait, just remembered something, how do I get to the security tab
[14:22] <brahmana> szal: aah.. um.. well I deleted the ubuntu parition from the Windows Disk Management tool..
[14:22] <pokoko222> Traintop thank you so much so so much oh boy i cant wait to get to program now
[14:22] <szal> brahmana: then there's nothing to do but to reinstall
[14:22] <natrixnatrix89> kiichiro: security? it should be seahorse
[14:22] <Traintop> pokoko222: did you get the cube-demo to compile and run?
[14:23] <pokoko222> Traintop well i needed the glut header just a sec
[14:23] <brahmana> szal: No, I just want to reset the MBR and just have windows on this machine (for now at least). Do I need to install the OS complete for that?
[14:23] <pokoko222> Traintop what do i include now i have both freeglut.h and glut.h :D
[14:23] <szal> brahmana: you better do that from an appropriate Windows install medium
[14:23] <Traintop> brahmana: boot into windows anyhow and do this chkdsk -fix-mbr ...
[14:24] <Traintop> pokoko222:should work both if both are installed by synaptic
[14:24] <szal> Traintop: afaik, incumbent instructions are different for XP and Vista/Win7
[14:24] <brahmana> ok
[14:25] <Traintop> szal: havent't booted into non-linux-os for over 6a now... -so I do not remember all the syntax-options from DOS... :-(
[14:26] <szal> Traintop: XP has a 'fixmbr' command, for Vista/Win7 I'd have to look instructions up.. </ot>
[14:26] <Traintop> szal: same for me: my last win was XP SP2; all other windows after this I haven't seen but in the commercials... :-)
[14:27] <Traintop> yesterday, a friend of mine asked my for some help with his new laptop and this runs win7 ultimate... -did not find anything at first :-)
[14:29] <Traintop> by the way: someone out there running ubuntu 11.04 64bit a
[14:29] <pokoko222> Traintop which libraries do i need to link to/
[14:29] <Traintop> nd has a running zd1211rw.ko with packet-injection... :->
[14:29] <kiichiro> natrixnatrix89, for the auto login I hear I'm suppose to open the login screen and move to the security tab, is that different in natty
[14:30] <BluesKaj> brahmana, if you can find an app called easyBCD then you should be able fix the mbr on W7/Vista using that .
[14:30] <Traintop> pokoko222: gcc cube.cpp -o cube -lGL -lGLU -lglut
[14:30] <Reikoku> Traintop: I haven't used Windows on a home PC since Clinton was in the white house :P
[14:30] <Traintop> pokoko222: the order of -lGL and -lGLU and -lglut is important...
[14:30] <natrixnatrix89> kiichiro: shouldn't be..
[14:30] <kiichiro> odd I don't have a security tab for my thing, ya sounds like a reconfigure thing for sure
[14:30] <Traintop> reikoku: clinton was early-90s, wasn't he?
[14:31] <asher^> hello, im wondering if someone can tell me how to view the current linux kernel config from a command line
[14:31] <Traintop> Reikoku: did you just give him as a time-mark or did he do something to get you off windows?
[14:31] <brahmana> BluesKaj: Just looked at easyBCD's website. Does it work when I am not able to boot into any OS at all?
[14:32] <BluesKaj> brahmana, I thought it was on a live-cd
[14:32] <pokoko222> Traintop yeah but i am in netbeans and i try to now locate those libraries
[14:33] <brahmana> BluesKaj: Ok. Will read the guides. Thank you for the suggestion.
[14:33] <szal> brahmana: Windows help is in ##windows
[14:33] <Reikoku> Traintop: Time mark :P
[14:33] <brahmana> szal: Oh ok.. thank you.
[14:33] <Reikoku> And he was up until 98 I believe
[14:33] <Traintop> pokoko222: I did not use netbeans yet; so you have to figure this out somehow, but can you compile this test-cube on the command-line with the given command; then you could at least assure your installation is working...
[14:34] <pokoko222> Traintop yeah oki doki, i will figure out now which libraries i need to link and where do i  find them
[14:34] <Traintop> ok, then late-90s; also quite a time for linux and bsds...
[14:34] <brahmana> szal: Though I would prefer to fix this MBR from my Ubuntu LiveCD that I have booted already.. :)
[14:34] <Traintop> pokoko222: I just mentioned the command so you could check if you have everything installed...
[14:35] <[THC]AcidRain> ok i have a question about mounting a drive.  in the fstab, when i associate the drive with its mount point, my drive changes names on its own.  so do i just link every possible name it could have?
[14:35] <[THC]AcidRain> it just recently started doing things i dont want it to do -.-
[14:35] <Traintop> editing the lib-paths in netbeans should be documented somewhere...
[14:35] <VEndix> Hello, i change password and procedure comes right way, but i can't login into Ubuntu One, section.
[14:35] <VEndix> Can someone help me to do that?
[14:35] <Traintop> [THC]AcidRain: if your drive changes names try mounting it via its uuid
[14:36] <XLV> brahmana, my take, boot into ubuntu from the live cd, install grub2, then use easybcd to setup a bcd entry intro windows boot manager using grub2 template.. works great
[14:36] <Traintop> then the name is not relevant anymore...
[14:36] <[THC]AcidRain> Traintop: how do i do that?
[14:36] <[THC]AcidRain> it changes from /dev/sdg1 to sdh1 sdc1
[14:36] <[THC]AcidRain> and so on
[14:36] <arcaos> any sound expert around? need some help please
[14:36] <mmocny> Hi All: I've just rebooted and after BIOS/POST the screen goes black.  I can't Ctrl+Alt+F1 to see term, I don't see any loading graphics or anything.  I _can_ ssh into the machine, so ubuntu is loading and responding.. how can I diagnose the issue?  (I totalled my home folder before reboot, in order to remove ecryptfs, and am working on fixing it now)
[14:37] <brahmana> XLV: Ok, now how do I install grub2 in the right location and in the right way?
[14:37] <Traintop> THC: just a moment
[14:37] <BluesKaj> !grub | brahmana
[14:37] <XLV> brahmana, apt-get install grub2 will do all that for you
[14:37] <[THC]AcidRain>  /dev/sdc1       /media/Server2     ext3     defaults 0   0
[14:37] <brahmana> XLV: Ubuntu LiveCD is running now and I have access to command prompt (as root)
[14:37] <[THC]AcidRain> this is what i have so far
[14:38] <kz3> is there any way I can sync apps to my iPod touch in Ubuntu
[14:38] <[THC]AcidRain> but when i unplug the drive, or reboot. it will load the drive as /dev/sdg1
[14:38] <Traintop> sudo blkid /dev/sda1
[14:38] <Traintop> or in your case /dev/sdg1
[14:38] <[THC]AcidRain> Traintop: the drive was named sdg1 for 2 months
[14:38] <[THC]AcidRain> this blocks a drive id?
[14:38] <Reikoku> kz3: RhythmBox can sync with iDevices
[14:38] <Traintop> THC: this will give you the uuid for this partition
[14:38] <brahmana> XLV: Where on the hard-disk will the installed files be? (since this is live cd)
[14:38] <Reikoku> Not sure if the patch is built in though
[14:39] <Traintop> THC: so you can mount it via fstab even if the name changes
[14:39] <XLV> brahmana, you need to mount the ubuntu / somewhere, then into shell, issue the command "sudo chroot /<path and dir of mounted ubuntu>
[14:39] <XLV> brahmana, then use the apt-get command
[14:39] <brahmana> XLV: aah.. ok.. got it
[14:39] <[THC]AcidRain> Traintop: on the command you gave me. no output...
[14:40] <Traintop> root@Lunar:~# sudo blkid /dev/sda1
[14:40] <Traintop> /dev/sda1: UUID="2be3d9ea-da14-4a77-9a27-b83ef8f3ed72" TYPE="ext4"
[14:40] <[THC]AcidRain> oh nvm
[14:40] <[THC]AcidRain> UUID="1d112679-6e31-481f-86eb-f7ec25756183" TYPE="ext3"
[14:40] <Reikoku> kz3: Looks like it's supported out of the box on Ubuntu
[14:40] <[THC]AcidRain> ok this is very interesting
[14:40] <[THC]AcidRain> now im going to link it with this in fstab?
[14:40] <kz3>  Reikoku : means?
[14:40] <Pici> kz3: 'sync apps'?
[14:40] <Traintop> THC: in fstab just alter /dev/sd... against 1D112679-....
[14:41] <Traintop> THC: wrong!
[14:41] <[THC]AcidRain> 1d112679-6e31-481f-86eb-f7ec25756183       /media/Server2     ext3     defaults 0   0
[14:41] <Reikoku> Oh wait, apps?
[14:41] <Pici> kz3: What do you mean by 'sync apps'?
[14:41] <Traintop> THC: dev/sd... should be UUID=34523452345
[14:41] <Reikoku> Hmm, can't you download them on the iPod Touch directly? :S
[14:41] <[THC]AcidRain> yea thats what i have...
[14:41] <Reikoku> Pici: He means download apps from iTunes store
[14:41] <kz3>  Pici : I mean installing apps on ipod
[14:41] <Reikoku> and sync themn
[14:41] <Reikoku> But iPod has App Store
[14:41] <Reikoku> and WiFi
[14:42] <[THC]AcidRain> i didnt get any errors regarding location not found
[14:42] <[THC]AcidRain> so i guess it worked
[14:42] <Pici> kz3: No, you cannot use any Linux programs to do that.  I don't know what the viability of running itunes in a virtual machine is though.
[14:42] <[THC]AcidRain> let me unmount and unplugg and replug. see what happens
[14:42] <Reikoku> You should be able to download them straight to the iPod assuming you have a wireless network
[14:42] <Traintop> THC: That's what UUID are for :-)
[14:43] <[THC]AcidRain> ok. umount
[14:43] <[THC]AcidRain> unplugged, and replugged.
[14:43] <[THC]AcidRain> lets see what we got
[14:43] <[THC]AcidRain> =(
[14:43] <Reikoku> kz3: Is App Store not working on your iPod/you don't have wireless?
[14:43] <[THC]AcidRain> it mounted as Server2_
[14:44] <Reikoku> On my iPad (which is basically just a big iPod Touch) I always download Apps straight on the device
[14:44] <kz3>  Reikoku :  actually the downloading speed on my iPod is very slow....I dont know why but it is
[14:44] <Traintop> THC: shouldn't it mount as /media/Server2 ?
[14:44] <Traintop> THC: according to your fstab
[14:45] <[THC]AcidRain> yes it SHOULD.
[14:45] <[THC]AcidRain> 1d112679-6e31-481f-86eb-f7ec25756183       /media/Server2     ext3     defaults 0   0
[14:45] <dr_willis> [THC]AcidRain:  unmount it. remove any extra /media/server2 dirs. plug it back in. and it should to to /media/server2
[14:45] <Reikoku> kz3: That's very odd
[14:46] <Pici> [THC]AcidRain: It needs to say UUID= in front of your UUID.
[14:46] <dr_willis> [THC]AcidRain:  but fstab may disable the automounting stuff
[14:46] <[THC]AcidRain> i took your advice dr_willis
[14:46] <[THC]AcidRain> it loaded fine as Server2 this time
[14:46] <kz3> Reikoku:  it is...what should I do?
[14:46] <[THC]AcidRain> Pici: does it HAVE to say uuid=? infront
[14:46] <[THC]AcidRain> cause it appears to be working without it
[14:47] <Reikoku> kz3: It's probably that the iPod doesn't like the encryption, the older iPods use processor instead of a dedicated chip to decrypt
[14:47] <dr_willis> [THC]AcidRain:  it automounted.. ignred the fstab entry
[14:47] <dr_willis> ignored
[14:47] <[THC]AcidRain> hmmm
[14:47] <Traintop> THC: in my fstab every uuid-entry begins with UUID=
[14:47] <[THC]AcidRain> ok. ill try again. i edited it uuid
[14:47] <Pici> [THC]AcidRain: I was under the impression that it did need to start with that.
[14:47] <[skl-]> How to make a remote list on xchat-gnome guys ? :(
[14:48] <kiamo> hi
[14:48] <[THC]AcidRain> ok trying again
[14:48] <dr_willis> [skl-]:  to do what exzactly. most people perfer the normal xchat also
[14:48] <[THC]AcidRain> :(
[14:48] <[THC]AcidRain> it says: You are not priviledged to mount the volume 'Server2'.
[14:48] <Reikoku> kz3: I expect if you turn off encryption on your router it will go much faster but that's not really a solution :P
[14:49] <CloudBlue> hi i need help
[14:49] <pokoko222> Traintop I got the most beatiful rotating cube on my screen thank you :D
[14:49] <[THC]AcidRain> do i have to sudo to mount?
[14:49] <ActionParsnip> [THC]AcidRain: prefix with sudo
[14:49] <kiamo> I seem to have a problem with my repos
[14:49] <[THC]AcidRain> i want it to automount as Server2
[14:49] <kz3>  Reikoku: my network doesnt have encryption key
[14:49] <[THC]AcidRain> i dont want to run sudo everytime to mount :(
[14:49] <ActionParsnip> kiamo: can you give a pastebin of:  sudo apt-get update; lsb_release -a
[14:49] <Traintop> pokoko222: :-) -now you should go to NeHes site to get to know how to programm opengl from bottom to top :-)
[14:49] <kiamo> sure, just a second ActionParsnip ^^
[14:50] <CloudBlue> i need help =(
[14:50] <ActionParsnip> [THC]AcidRain: you can add it in /etc/fstab and it will mount at boot, you can use nautilus and you won't need any authentication
[14:50] <ActionParsnip> CloudBlue: ask away :)
[14:50] <[THC]AcidRain> ActionParsnip: i can add sudo in fstab? :/
[14:50] <[THC]AcidRain> cause ive already added it in fstab.
[14:50] <CloudBlue> my home directory ¨does not appear to exist¨ and shows up as an empty file when i log into another account. This was after my desktop froze and i had to hard reset...
[14:50] <yuvateja> by using ping command finding ip address of a particular  domain name is taking long time there is any other command is there?
[14:51] <ActionParsnip> [THC]AcidRain: no, it needs a different syntax, I'd look into using nautilus first (far easier)
[14:51] <CloudBlue> when i loged in before it worked just fine
[14:51] <kiamo> what's a good pastebin alt?
[14:51] <[THC]AcidRain> actually fstab seems to be handling it. cause i just got an error saying Server2 not found
[14:51] <kiamo> pastebin isn't loading for me
[14:51] <[THC]AcidRain> so ill have to create the dir now
[14:51] <pokoko222> Traintop i got myself this book called interactive computer graphics top down approach but i got also beginning game programming with opengl too because i need an opengl book and this one seems to be just that
[14:51] <Traintop> kiamo: paste.ubuntu.com
[14:52] <ActionParsnip> !paste | kiamo
[14:52] <kiamo> http://paste2.org/p/1526686
[14:52] <kiamo> ah
[14:52] <kiamo> nevermind, i found another ^^
[14:52] <BluesKaj> !pastebinit
[14:52] <[THC]AcidRain> final test right here!
[14:52] <dr_willis> [THC]AcidRain:  you may want to read up on fstab and mounting. you may be overlooking some basic fundamentals and getting confused
[14:52] <sipior> yuvateja: "dig domain.name.com", if i understand your question correctly.
[14:53] <[THC]AcidRain> grrrr! got a mount priviledge error again
[14:53] <Traintop> pokoko222: if you first get some demo to compile and run the journey really starts :-)
[14:53] <[THC]AcidRain> im gonna reboot and see if it will mount automatically
[14:53] <Traintop> s/run the/run; -the/
[14:53] <CloudBlue> how can i get my home directory account back?
[14:53] <Guest30519> Hi there, I think this is relevant...I am also trying to edit /etc/fstab in order to mount a second harddrive, however I am getting an error message
[14:53] <brahmana> XLV: I was trying that chroot thingy and got confused in the course.
[14:54] <h4xx0r> wats up :D
[14:54] <Guest30519> hmmm.. why do I come up as Guest30519?
[14:54] <[THC]AcidRain> Guest30519: what is your error? we will make it together
[14:54] <kiamo> ActionParsnip, forgot to put your name, don't know if you saw.  http://paste2.org/p/1526686
[14:54] <kiamo> ^^
[14:54] <yuvateja> sipior:yes,thank you
[14:54] <brahmana> XLV: I have a partition with ext2 fs now and I mounted / on that parition. Am I doing it right?
[14:54] <BluesKaj> !nick | Guest30519
[14:54] <dr_willis> !fstab
[14:54] <Traintop> pokoko222: the guys over at channel #gl or #opengl are also quite friendly and some of them have very good knowledge about gl :-)
[14:54] <Guest30519> the added line is line 9.  The error message says that line 9 is bad, but it is pretty much copied from the line that lists the main harddrive
[14:54] <ActionParsnip> kiamo: sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 94E58C34A8670E8C
[14:55] <XLV> brahmana, go into /mnt, sudo mkdir test, then chroot /mnt/test
[14:55] <ActionParsnip> kiamo: the xbmc doesn't have a natty folder, so you will get that error until they update
[14:55] <Guest30519> !nick
[14:55] <XLV> brahmana, sudo chroot /mnt/test
[14:55] <[THC]AcidRain> Guest30519: run sudo blkid /dev/disk
[14:55] <kiamo> ActionParsnip, oh i see.
[14:55] <kiamo> hmm
[14:55] <[THC]AcidRain> :)
[14:55] <Guest30519> :}
[14:55] <kiamo> thanks ActionParsnip :)
[14:55] <XLV> brahmana, also, you dont have to issue sudo all the time, if you use sudo -i one time at beginning
[14:55] <ActionParsnip> kiamo: you forgot to add the GPG key for your screenlets PPA too
[14:56] <ActionParsnip> kiamo: the command imports it
[14:56] <brahmana> XLV: sudo is fine, I did sudo bash to avoid the pain.. :)
[14:56] <ActionParsnip> kiamo: you CAN change the ppa in software centre to maverick and it will be ok but it may cause issues later. Your choice
[14:56] <VEndix> Can someone, help me to understand why do the FileZilla crashes without any error when i try to upload file to the server?
[14:56] <dr_willis> better to do sudo -i or -s
[14:56] <brahmana> XLV: I am little confused here. At beginning no part of the file system points to any hard-disk parition, right?
[14:57] <kiamo> ActionParsnip, ill try it.  I just want to test xbmc out before deciding to build a machine for it.  ^^
[14:57] <CloudBlue> T.T
[14:57] <dr_willis> kiamo:  check out boxxee also
[14:57] <dr_willis> boxee
[14:57] <XLV> brahmana, lets say your root partition of your ubuntu install is /dev/sda1
[14:57] <kiamo> dr_willis, oh yea?
[14:57] <BluesKaj> sudo or aliases and sudoers
[14:57]  * kiamo googles
[14:57] <ActionParsnip> kiamo: its not bad, resource hungry but not bad at all. If you make a dedicated system for it I'd suggest using some light desktop like LXDE instead of gnome
[14:57] <VEndix> Can someone, help me to understand why do the FileZilla crashes without any error when i try to upload file to the server?
[14:58] <dr_willis> kiamo:  its xbmc +moar
[14:58] <XLV> brahmana, you mkdir /mnt/test then mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/test then chroot /mnt/test
[14:58] <ActionParsnip> VEndix: do other ftp clients work ok? does the same behaviour occur as all users?
[14:58] <brahmana> XLV:  Well, that's the problem here. No ubuntu install exists here. The parition on which Ubuntu was installed is deleted.
[14:58] <XLV> brahmana, ... then just reinstall ubuntu
[14:58] <ActionParsnip> kiamo: could just install Lubuntu to make life easier ;)
[14:59] <VEndix> ActionParsnip: well i will try, what client i should install?
[14:59] <kiamo> dr_willis, im looking for a better solution for watching movies.  at the moment I am transcoding with PMS.  However about 50% of the time I have transcode errors
[14:59] <ActionParsnip> VEndix: there are plenty available, search software centre
[14:59] <Victor_> Hi
[14:59] <K4k> I'm getting a random, blank, window on my screen at login. I'm using icewm and I've got xscreensaver, nm-applet and xfce4-power-manager starting up, all without apparent errors. Any ideas what this window might be? I'm unable to close it.
[14:59] <kiamo> ActionParsnip, I was thinking of just installing the XBMC Live.
[14:59] <kiamo> ActionParsnip, maybe easier?
[14:59] <brahmana> XLV: I am trying to just reset the MBR for now. I am trying to avoid an install here. This is an old laptop and cannot handle the regular 10.04. So I want to leave it with just Windows
[14:59] <dr_willis> kiamo:  i had issues with xbmc live
[15:00] <CloudBlue> can someone help in a personal channel, it will only take a sec...
[15:00] <ActionParsnip> kiamo: that works too, not sure how drivers would work. depends what is on the CD to how well it will work
[15:00] <dr_willis> xmbc live was a little old last i tried it
[15:00] <Assid> heya
[15:00] <brahmana> XLV: Will a grub install to a hdd partition without any ubuntu install work?
[15:00] <XLV> brahmana, ok, then just go into windows, fire up easybcd, remove all linux entries from bcd menu if they exist, then somewhere in easybcd panels, theres an option "write mbr"
[15:00] <ushills> NickServ identify ushills stanley
[15:00] <BluesKaj> kiamo, you can add the xbmc repos to your soiurces list the 10.10 repos version works
[15:01] <ActionParsnip> ushills: ooops
[15:01] <Assid> so im planning on setting up an ubuntu desktop which works over iscsi for a diskless boot
[15:01] <XLV> brahmana, why you want grub on a system with no linux or any other OS that uses grub? use windows boot manager
[15:01] <brahmana> XLV: I have no way of going into Windows.. Grub just lands me in rescue shell.. !
[15:01] <dr_willis> ushills:  time to change password
[15:01] <ushills> Ooops indeed
[15:01] <Assid> can someone help me go about this?
[15:01] <ActionParsnip> ushills: I recommend you join #freenode and change password
[15:01] <Traintop> ushills: someone has to change its password... :-)
[15:01] <ushills> Password isn't correct fortunately
[15:01] <ActionParsnip> Assid: then you'll need a pxe server
[15:01] <dr_willis> lol
[15:02] <ActionParsnip> ushills: lucky
[15:02] <brahmana> XLV: No, I do not want grub. I just want to reset the MBR so that I can boot the machine.
[15:02] <iVictor> I updated ubuntu <IP_ADDRESS> to <IP_ADDRESS> and rebooted today. Since then, the system is not booting up. It throws error & drops to BusyBox.
[15:02] <kiamo> dr_willis, ActionParsnip, i had issues on this computer too.  I figured I would buy a low end system that is compatible and suitable for 1080p playback
[15:02] <ActionParsnip> iVictor: if you hold shift at boot, can you boot to the older kernel?
[15:02] <roy__> i need help guys with installing gallium and mesa over fglrx
[15:02] <Assid> ActionParsnip i already have endian firewall
[15:02] <XLV> brahmana, well, this is then purely #windows support territory.. but just to complete it, i'll say you need to boot from windows install cd, then depending on windows version ( xp or vista/7 ) theres a # of things to do
[15:02] <kiamo> dr_willis, boxee looks intresting
[15:02] <roy__> can someone help me with that?
[15:03] <ActionParsnip> Assid: does that have a pxe server and tftp server installed?
[15:03] <iVictor> I didn't try holding shift key & booting to earlier version. Though, right now, I am logged in to <IP_ADDRESS> (recovery).
[15:03] <brahmana> XLV: ok.. so essentially no way of doing from Ubuntu then?
[15:03] <dr_willis> kiamo:  i bought a boxee device the other day for $200. does netflix and a lot moar. smaller then a mini pc also
[15:03] <XLV> brahmana, none
[15:03] <AcidRain> hmmm
[15:03] <roy_> ?
[15:03] <AcidRain> the drive mounted properly this time
[15:03] <Assid> ActionParsnip i think so.. it does let me set the filename and rootpath for any fixed leases i want to setup
[15:03] <brahmana> XLV: ok.. thank you
[15:03] <ActionParsnip> iVictor: if it boots to the older version then run:   sudo update-grub
[15:03] <Assid> ActionParsnip can we take this in pm
[15:04] <AcidRain> but i have one last question.  in ubuntu, when i create a sym link.  how can i make the contents of that link accessible through the home dir of an ftp server
[15:04] <ActionParsnip> Assid: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PXEInstallServer
[15:04] <roy_> guys since fglrx gives me lots of issues
[15:04] <ActionParsnip> Assid: I dont support in PM
[15:04] <roy_> i want to try open source drivers
[15:04] <roy_> can someone help me install it properly and configure it?
[15:04] <AcidRain> i have the sym link in the home ftp server dir now. but it says no such file or dir
[15:04] <dr_willis> AcidRain:  ftp server may need some 'follow symlinks' setting enabled
[15:04] <AcidRain> hmmm... ill check it out
[15:04] <iVictor> ActionParsnip: Before I could boot normally to <IP_ADDRESS> (recovery), I've had to do a update-grub. So essentially, I've already done update-grub.
[15:04] <AcidRain> that would be in config right?
[15:04] <kiamo> dr_willis, can it play 1080p mkvs of a smb share easily enough?
[15:05] <dr_willis> kiamo:  should do it.
[15:05] <Assid> okay so  i need a tftp server
[15:05] <AcidRain> i use ftpdpro
[15:06] <CloudBlue> help, my home dir is screwed... when i log in a message pops up that ¨it does not appear to exist¨ and i would like root to be my home dir...
[15:06] <AcidRain> it has a little buggy gftpdpro admin gui
[15:06] <dr_willis> kiamo:  it does samba well and 1080p i belive. and can play mkv. but iv no 1080p videos that i know of
[15:06] <Assid> AcidRain you use a diskless setup?
[15:06] <BluesKaj> kiamo, personally I found xbmc clunky to use , too many menus to do what you want ...I prefer the simplicity of vlc , which is very configurable , and works well for our HT on this media server pc
[15:06] <dr_willis> CloudBlue:  you mean /root? or /
[15:07] <AcidRain> yeah. its in repos
[15:07] <CloudBlue> yes slash root (/root)
[15:07] <kiamo> BluesKaj, you use vlc for your HT?  Presumably running on ubuntu and just browse for the media you want?
[15:07] <dr_willis> kiamo:  boxee and xbmc have android phone remote apps also. so does vlc.. check out gmote also if using android.
[15:07] <dr_willis> kiamo:  i use vlc that way also. depends on my mood
[15:07] <CloudBlue> then when i logged into another account the folder shows up as a empty file
[15:08] <rocket16> Hello guys. I got my new Dell Inspirion 14R today and after installing Ubuntu 11.04, it says "Warning, this partitio is misaligned by 1024 bytes" in Disk utility. So, does it really affect performance?
[15:08] <dr_willis> CloudBlue:  why not make a proper /home/username dir
[15:08] <BluesKaj> kiamo, yes altho I use kde ,but that's almost immaterial..we find vlc easy ..even wife can access and watch without grief :)
[15:09] <CloudBlue> make another one?
[15:09] <kiamo> dr_willis, I've got an android phone but no bluetooth on the pc.  Does the remote use the wifi?
[15:09] <iVictor> any suggestions?
[15:09] <dr_willis> CloudBlue:  each user has a /home/username  dir owened by them. how did yours vanish?
[15:09] <kiamo> also, google results suggest a lot of stuttering on boxee for 1080p mkvs
[15:10] <dr_willis> kiamo: they all do it via wifi
[15:10] <kiamo> too bad, it was looking nice
[15:10] <kiamo> aaah excellent :)
[15:10] <dax_> Hi, does anyone know where I can find keyboard models for sony vaio? It currently doesn't recognize my right alt and ctrl keys
[15:10] <rocket16> Any help, guys?
[15:10] <CloudBlue> i dont know, all i know is it happened after my computer froze on the same account and i had to hard shut down
[15:11] <dr_willis> CloudBlue:  i wouls suggest fscking the filesystems and remakiing a proper home dir then
[15:11] <freemoser> hi leute
[15:12] <iVictor> I updated ubuntu <IP_ADDRESS> to <IP_ADDRESS> and rebooted today. Since then, the system is not booting up. It throws error & drops to BusyBox.
[15:12] <kiamo> hmm
[15:13] <kiamo> ok, so how do I fix the xbmc repo version?
[15:13] <CloudBlue> yea i did fscking, but should i delete the empty file and create a new one, is that what your suggesting?
[15:13] <dr_willis> CloudBlue:  what empty file? the home dir.. is a directory..
[15:13] <dr_willis>  /home/yourusername
[15:14] <dr_willis> and it needs to be owned by your user also.
[15:14] <dr_willis> !chown
[15:14] <BluesKaj> kiamo, if you insist on xbmc , I suggest you join #xbmc-linux for help
[15:15] <kiamo> aaah thank you :)
[15:16] <roy_> guys can u help me out with something?
[15:16] <dr_willis> webupd8 blog site has a guide on installing xbmc. like 3 lines cut/paste
[15:17] <Traintop> roy_: depends on what you are thinking about... :-)
[15:17] <roy_> lol
[15:17] <roy_> ok
[15:17] <roy_> the issue is this, fglrx.so locks up my system after giving me two boom messages in kernel log
[15:17] <roy_> im running xubuntu 64bit 11.04
[15:17] <roy_> ati hd3850
[15:18] <roy_> and i decided to give the open source driver a try
[15:18] <Traintop> roy: sorry, but I have no knowledge about fglrx... :-(
[15:18] <roy_> but right now im stuck with software support only: OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer
[15:18] <Traintop> isn't there a whole channel for fglrx?
[15:19] <roy_> can u tell me its name?
[15:19] <roy_> actually i dont want fglrx anymore
[15:19] <roy_> i want the open source
[15:19] <farhad2161> how can i set a destionation folder for tar to extract file there.i want to untar a file from cd drive to /test/
[15:19] <roy_> i removed the fglrx
[15:20] <Traintop> farhad2161: then do "cd /test; tar -xvf /path/to/tar"
[15:21] <unop> farhad2161,  tar xvf file.tar -C /path/to/extract/to
[15:21] <rocket16> Does a misaligned partition reduce performance in real?
[15:23] <CloudBlue> um, how can i delete a file when i have no permission?
[15:24] <ilea> what program in need or how it is caled to see system info?
[15:24] <Monotoko> CloudBlue, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[15:25] <Monotoko> ilea, which system info are you after?
[15:25] <Monotoko> there are several programs
[15:25] <ilea> i knew a program that ended with the word benchmark
[15:25] <ilea> with that i could see all the info
[15:26] <ilea> procesor
[15:26] <ilea> ram
[15:26] <ilea> video card
[15:28] <Guest61894> hi I am using lubuntu lxde I was wondrig if there is a auto login setting?
[15:28] <Guest61894> wondering
[15:29] <ActionParsnip> Guest61894: sure there is
[15:29] <darnel> how can i convert ppt to pdf at the command line?
[15:30] <ActionParsnip> darnel: I believe imagemagick may be able to
[15:30] <Guest61894> ActionParsnip I cant find it
[15:30] <darnel> ActionParsnip: how?
[15:30] <farhad2161> good
[15:30] <ActionParsnip> darnel: read the man page of: convert    after you install imagemagick
[15:30] <darnel> ActionParsnip: can it do pptx also?
[15:31] <darnel> ActionParsnip: i think it cant
[15:31] <BluesKaj> darnel, http://askubuntu.com/questions/11130/how-can-i-convert-a-ppt-to-a-pdf-from-the-command-line
[15:31] <darnel> maybe pdf to ppt
[15:31] <snimavat> for my 64 bit processor, should i use 64 bit ubuntu or ? as the ubuntu site seems to recommend 32 bit
[15:32] <edbian> snimavat: go for 64 bit
[15:32] <snimavat> gret
[15:32] <edbian> snimavat: Sometimes there are some small hangups but not usually anymore
[15:32] <darnel> BluesKaj: that tool is obsolete an ddoesnt exist anymore
[15:32] <snimavat> one more thing, how do i setup wireless network between ubuntu and my win 7 laptop
[15:32] <snimavat> both are connected to a wireless router
[15:33] <ActionParsnip> Guest61894: gksudo leafpad /etc/lxdm/lxdm.conf
[15:33] <edbian> snimavat: What are you trying to share between the two machines?
[15:33] <Traintop> snimavat: just go to "Network" in nautilus :-)(
[15:33] <snimavat> files and printer
[15:33] <Guest61894> ok thanks
[15:34] <snimavat> the main thing is, i want to share win7 files in linux and vice-versa
[15:34] <snimavat> Traintop: what after that ?
[15:35] <Traintop> snimavat: if you have installed samba you can easily browse the win-shares via network in nautilus; if you want to share dirs on your ubuntu-machine for win-machines right-click them and go to "Freigabeoptionen" don't know how this is called in english
[15:35] <snimavat> okey
[15:35] <snimavat> let me try it, does any one know the english name for it, btw ?
[15:36] <Snicers-Work2> where do I set a custom lib path for php?
[15:36] <Traintop> should be something like "share-options" or similar
[15:36] <ActionParsnip> snimavat: look into samba
[15:36] <Traintop> in german it's the third entry from the bottom of that context-menu
[15:36] <Guest61894> ActonParsnip thank you have the settings up what do i need to change auto login setting to
[15:38] <ActionParsnip> Guest61894: try READING the file...
[15:38] <Traintop> in german from bottom there are: "Eigenschaften, Senden an, Freigabeoptionen"
[15:39] <Traintop> so in english it should be: "Properties, Send to, Share...."
[15:39] <Guest61894> autologin=dgod read it
[15:40] <ActionParsnip> Guest61894: make sure it isn't commented out and autologin will happen
[15:42] <Guest61894> ok thank you
[15:42] <ActionParsnip> Guest61894: make sure the session is session=/usr/bin/startlxde
[15:42] <ActionParsnip> Guest61894: save the new file, reboot to test
[15:43] <AlfE1> hello
[15:43] <snimavat> shared it
[15:43] <snimavat> but still win7 doesnt see the folder.
[15:44] <AlfE1> where does network manager store vpn logs?
[15:44] <Traintop> snimavat: did you look for "Workgroup", the samba-shares are in this group
[15:45] <Snicers-Work2> TML-prv: ok, so if i want to recompile php from source and overwrite my old compiled php what do I do?
[15:45] <Snicers-Work2> sorry
[15:45] <snimavat> Traintop: how do i do that ?
[15:45] <Beelsebob> Hey, OS X has a command "atos" that translates an address in either a process or a library to a string (i.e. will convert a function pointer to it's name)  – is there a similar command under linux?
[15:45] <snimavat> i just did \\
[15:46] <snimavat> with the ip
[15:46] <TML-prv> Snicers-Work2: Well, if you installed PHP via a package, you should use "apt-get source php5" and then build yourself some custom .debs
[15:48] <Snicers-Work2> So I need to recompile apache and have it replace the old apt-get version of apache. How do I do this?
[15:48] <TML-prv> apt-get source apache2 && apt-get build-dep apache2
[15:48] <TML-prv> That will give you a source tree and all the build dependencies
[15:49] <Snicers-Work2> TML-prv: I did that, it did not change the php configure command in phpinfo
[15:49] <TML-prv> Snicers-Work2: Recompiling Apache wouldn't change PHP, no
[15:49] <jrib> Snicers-Work2: why do you believe you need to recompile apache?
[15:50] <Snicers-Work2> jrib: I did not mean to type apache at all, I meant php5.
[15:50] <jrib> Snicers-Work2: why do you believe you need to recompile php5?
[15:51] <TML-prv> Snicers-Work2: Well, then you should be saying 'php5' instead of 'apache2' in my above suggestions, but jrib's question still bears merit
[15:51] <Snicers-Work2> jrib: Because I need to change the configure command, can I do this without recompiling php5? I was told I had to.
[15:51] <TML-prv> Snicers-Work2: Why do you need to change the configure command?
[15:51] <TML-prv> What's the *real* problem you're trying to solve with all of this/
[15:51] <jrib> Snicers-Work2: *why*?  What is your end goal that the version in the repositories is not allowing you to accomplish?
[15:51] <Snicers-Work2> TML-prv: Because I am including MSSQL library and was told it had to be included via the configure command line.
[15:52] <Snicers-Work2> TML-prv: Freetds is not a part of PHP out of the box, I need to include it.
[15:53] <TML-prv> Snicers-Work2: apt-get install php5-sybase
[15:53] <Snicers-Work2> TML-prv: that has freetds?
[15:53] <isarl> I upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04, and now my computer won't start. I suspect it's due to the graphics - if I time it just right, I can Ctrl-Alt-F3 into a virtual terminal before the drivers load, but it's tricky timing. I'm using a LiveCD right now. How can I fix it?
[15:54] <isarl> I already tried removing my xorg.conf so that a new one would get autogenerated; no luck.
[15:54] <TML-prv> Snicers-Work2: Although, honestly, unixODBC is going to be a lot smooth for you than freetds.
[15:54] <petanilinux> hello all
[15:54] <TML-prv> s/smooth/smoother/
[15:54] <thrasher456> hello ^^
[15:54] <ActionParsnip> isarl: what video chip do you use?
[15:54] <petanilinux> some one can help me
[15:55] <isarl> ATi Radeon HD 5480, IIRC
[15:55] <Snicers-Work2> TML-prv: I can work on unixODBC another day, this is just to apease the microsoft department.
[15:55] <isarl> *5450
[15:55] <petanilinux> i can't setting my printer
[15:55] <kz3> can wine support Photoshop CS5?
[15:55] <Pici> !appdb | kz3
[15:55] <petanilinux> how to setting EPSON STYLUS OFFICE T30
[15:55] <petanilinux> ?
[15:56] <petanilinux> on ubuntu
[15:56] <isarl> ActionParsnip: I have the ATi driver downloaded, but from within the LiveCD, a chroot to my hard drive isn't enough to get the installer working.
[15:56] <petanilinux> i didn't found driver for it
[15:56] <lok> Hi everyone ... does anybody now about the package Sip-Api-7.1 or can anyone help me to install serna ... it always tells me that I need this package ... I read that python-sip was a virtual package for sip-api-7.1 ... I've installed that already but still it asks for the sip-api-7.1 ... anyone got an idea?
[15:56] <AlfE1> where does network manager store the vpn logs?
[15:57] <bytesaber_work> How do I make smb mount point show up in ubuntu's nautilus as mounted drives?
[15:57] <Snicers-Work2> TML-prv: Do I need to restart a service after running 'apt-get install php5-sybase'?
[15:57] <TML-prv> Snicers-Work2: Well, at this point, I don't think this conversation belongs in #ubuntu - we can discuss the quality (or lack thereof) of PHP MSSQL drivers on Linux in ##PHP
[15:57] <ActionParsnip> petanilinux: http://www.openprinting.org/printer/Epson/Epson-Stylus_Office_T30
[15:57] <Mindspider> Hey. I'm having a problem with Chromium on Ubuntu 11.04. For seemingly no reason it has started loading websites painfully slow, not at all or without any kind of style, just text. Other applications, including other browsers work fine.
[15:57] <petanilinux> ActionParsnip: thx brother
[15:57] <ActionParsnip> isarl: i'd uninstall theproprietary driver in the installed OS, then reboot and install thedriver
[15:57] <jason__> ActionParsnip thank you auto login now works
[15:58] <ActionParsnip> petanilinux: all I did was websearch.....
[15:58] <ActionParsnip> jason__: sweet
[15:58] <isarl> ActionParsnip: How do I do that? I can't even boot...
[15:58] <ActionParsnip> isarl: hold shift at boot, select recovery mode, select root.No X server to get in the way
[15:59] <petanilinux> ActionParsnip: oke i am sorry.. brother
[15:59] <isarl> ActionParsnip: Thanks; I'll give that a try.  Is that just for Grub2, or for classic as well?
[15:59] <petanilinux> thx all
[15:59] <zeroburn> hay all. I am experiencing a problem with getting apache to run. I installed ubuntu 10.04 32bit alternative install, followed by an install of xinit and xubuntu-desktop. I aslo installed apache2 (using synaptic) and then downloaded and installed webmin to administrate te server. But apache refuses to run. the only output in the terminal is: "no such file or directory: apache2: could not open error log file logs/error_log. unable to open logs." then it exit
[15:59] <NielsMkn> Hey guys
[15:59] <ActionParsnip> isarl: you just need recovery mode root, get it however you normally would
[15:59] <coder21> pra
[16:00] <lok> Hi everyone ... does anybody now about the package Sip-Api-7.1 or can anyone help me to install serna ... it always tells me that I need this package ... I read that python-sip was a virtual package for sip-api-7.1 ... I've installed that already but still it asks for the sip-api-7.1 ... anyone got an idea?
[16:00] <isarl> ActionParsnip: cheers. If I'm not back in 10 minutes, it's because it's worked.
[16:00] <NielsMkn> I don't wish to be a troll, but is xubuntu 11.04 more similar to gnome 2.6? I don't like unity but I want to stay with the latest release
[16:01] <szal> lok: what tells you to install that?
[16:01] <szal> !classic | NielsMkn
[16:01] <petanilinux> ActionParsnip : thx brother i am found driver for it
[16:01] <zeroburn> NielsMkn: its very simmilar to win 2000 and pre....
[16:02] <zeroburn> NielsMkn: the xubuntu interface...
[16:02] <lok> szal: apt-get or the software center, depending on which one I try it with ... it says there are unresolved dependecies
[16:02] <NielsMkn> ah is it true that the rollback option to gnome will be removed in 11.10?
[16:03] <zeroburn> NielsMkn: yep.. unfortunatly.. according to the ubuntu forums, Gnome3 wont support the "classic" desktop out the box.. needs to be installed seperately (or something simmilar to the clasic desktop)
[16:03] <dyd> i've downloaded a file in tar.gz
[16:03] <dyd> i suppose i have to unzip that in usr folder
[16:03] <dyd> how can i do that by command line?
[16:03] <NielsMkn> I hate both gnome 3 and unity :((
[16:04] <NielsMkn> I hate typing things everytime in search
[16:04] <surfdue> Hello, is there a way to make the system recognize extra space if its on avirtual machine without a restart
[16:04] <Pici> NielsMkn: GNOME isn't supporting gnome2 anymore, so we don't have much of a choice.
[16:04] <ActionParsnip> NielsMkn: then use a different DE
[16:04] <coder21> i am using ubuntu 11.04 ,before i was using lucid 10.04 lts ,in that my graphics card was working 3d appearance were working but in 11.04 not working,any suggestions??
[16:04] <szal> lok: what *buntu version?
[16:04] <zeroburn> NielsMkn: wel.. haha i never flame windows, but atleast ubuntu gives you a chance to get used to the new desktop environment before making the full switch :)...
[16:04] <lok> szal: 11.04, natty
[16:04] <NielsMkn> well yeah :D
[16:05] <ActionParsnip> NielsMkn: problem solved :D
[16:05] <szal> lok: a quick search suggests that Natty doesn't have sip-api-7.1, it has 8.0 and 8.1
[16:05] <NielsMkn> ActionParsnip, which DE?
[16:06] <ActionParsnip> NielsMkn: KDE, LXDE, XFCE or just go with openbox, fluxbox etc ;)
[16:06] <surfdue> hmm
[16:06] <NielsMkn> Well which one is most like gnome 2.6?
[16:07] <Neoncamouflage> KDE reminds me of Windows too much, it's irritating.
[16:07] <ActionParsnip> NielsMkn: look at some screenshots, see which you like
[16:07] <NielsMkn> eh, I don't want my ubuntu to look like Windows :/
[16:07] <Neoncamouflage> Nor do I, why I used it for like 15 minutes and switched back to Gnome
[16:07] <lok> szal: thanks ... the problem is, now, can I use a former version or would that ruin other programms or how can I get serna ...
[16:07] <coder21> compiz manager,3D settings not working in ubuntu 11.04 natty
[16:07] <NielsMkn> Well ActionParsnip I looked at them, and found xfce similar :o
[16:07] <Reikoku> NielsMkn: LXDE is pretty GNOME-like
[16:08] <NielsMkn> not gnome 3 right? :O
[16:08] <szal> lok: what the ... is serna?
[16:08] <ActionParsnip> NielsMkn: then use that, sudo apt-get install xfce4   log off, select xfce as the session and log in
[16:08] <Neoncamouflage> I have a question, how is Gnome pronounced? I've heard three different ways of saying it, is there an official pronunciation?
[16:08] <dcorking> the committer of the apt changelog I mentioned earlier tells me that the linked LP bug is private, which is why it is invisible to the web.
[16:08] <lok> szal: serna is a WYSIWYG xml editor ... actually the best open source one
[16:08] <NielsMkn> but right now, you guys told me it was like windows 2000 :O
[16:08] <NielsMkn> and I dont' want windows and definetely not an old one :P
[16:09] <Reikoku> Neoncamouflage: I pronounce it as in Gnome with a silent G
[16:09] <Reikoku> So nome
[16:09] <zeroburn> NielsMkn: follow the other guy's advice... google... lolz..
[16:09] <Neoncamouflage> I've always said it as like Gee-Nome.
[16:09] <Neoncamouflage> As does my friend
[16:09] <NielsMkn> doing that, just wanted your opinions as well :D
[16:09] <ActionParsnip> NielsMkn: look at screenshots and try it, you can always add another panel if you like the double panel look
[16:10] <Reikoku> NielsMkn: Try all of them out
[16:10] <NielsMkn> All of them :O
[16:10] <szal> !info serna
[16:10] <surfdue> Hello, is there a way to make the system recognize extra space if its on avirtual machine without a restart
[16:10] <Reikoku> Pick the one you don't like
[16:10] <ActionParsnip> Neoncamouflage: Gnomes are little fictitious people
[16:10] <Reikoku> you like*
[16:10] <NielsMkn> lol why would I pick one I don't like :P
[16:10] <NielsMkn> oh
[16:10] <ActionParsnip> Neoncamouflage: I use lxde personally but I theme it so it looks like gnome :)
[16:10] <Reikoku> I'd try at least kde4, gnome 3, xfce 4 and lxde
[16:10] <zeroburn> NielsMkn: KDE is very win7/vista like... If you HAVE to compare... Unity people say is alot like osx.(dont know if this is true) but really, just theme it?
[16:10] <Neoncamouflage> ActionParsnip: My desktop is fictitious? O.o
[16:10] <ActionParsnip> Neoncamouflage: just its name
[16:11] <Reikoku> I like fluxbox lol
[16:11] <zeroburn> surfdue: please explain your question in more detail?
[16:11] <NielsMkn> so what do you guys use?
[16:11] <Pici> !poll
[16:11] <Reikoku> I like unity too, but can't get it over here
[16:11] <ActionParsnip> NielsMkn: in short, there is more selection of desktop in Ubuntu.  More than just Gnome, I'd try a few and review
[16:11] <Reikoku> NielsMkn: FluxBox or xfce or e17 I use
[16:11] <szal> lok: file a bug
[16:12] <Reikoku> Right now xfce4
[16:12] <lok> szal: sorry, I don't understand
[16:12] <Reikoku> But I don't like panels, period
[16:12] <NielsMkn> can I try them in ubuntu maverick as well?
[16:12] <NielsMkn> Using it right now
[16:12] <Neoncamouflage> I use Gnome 2.x with both panels on autohide. I like it as minimalistic as possible.
[16:14] <Reikoku> NielsMkn: You might have to find a 3rd party repo to try the latest builds
[16:14] <Reikoku> But on the whole yes
[16:15] <NielsMkn> or just adapt to unity... :s
[16:15] <Reikoku> lol so many people hate unity
[16:16] <Reikoku> I love it :P
[16:16]  * szal never tried it & probably never will
[16:16] <Neoncamouflage> I've been refusing to upgrade just because of all the Unity hate. I like Gnome and I'm keeping it.
[16:16] <NielsMkn> I tried it and hate it
[16:16]  * szal just uses KDE
[16:17]  * Neoncamouflage shudders at the thought of KDE
[16:17] <szal> all the way back to 2003 (3.2)
[16:17] <NielsMkn> Why did it change the menu bar at the top ? :(
[16:17] <Reikoku> I don't like kde at all but DEs are an aesthetics thing
[16:17] <Reikoku> e17 has been my favourite DE so far
[16:18] <Neoncamouflage> never even heard of that, will have to look it up
[16:18] <femi> can someone help me?
[16:18]  * szal would have a hard time w/o all the kioslaves

[16:32] <aikInsaan> hey folks...I have upgraded to natty from maverick hoping to use Unity....but I am still on the classic gnome
[16:32] <Anon1234> ActionParsnip: yes
[16:32] <ActionParsnip> Panarchy: do you mean unity?
[16:33] <Panarchy> yeah
[16:33] <ActionParsnip> Anon1234: I'd read slower
[16:33] <ActionParsnip> Panarchy: its currently immovable
[16:33] <Neoncamouflage> Does anyone know how to make an application launcher that runs with java? I tried the command to run it with java as a prefix but it didn't work.
[16:33] <Panarchy> No, I mean, I want to add /home/projects to that dock
[16:33] <Panarchy> Neoncamouflage: You can just wrap it in C
[16:34] <Neoncamouflage> Panarchy: I don't know C
[16:34] <Phr3d13> Panarchy, scroll to the bottom there's a add location thing i think
[16:34] <fonfy> how do I tell Ubuntu 10.10 LTS where to look for nvidia drivers, or do I have to do this manually?
[16:34] <Panarchy> Phr3d13: But I already have the Home folder on the dock, I want an extra folder link for my Projects folder
[16:34] <aikInsaan> hey folks...I have upgraded to natty from maverick hoping to use Unity....but I am still on the classic gnome
[16:34] <Anon1234> ActionParsnip: It is rather short. And I was mainly looking for the gaps. They are mainly around remounting
[16:34] <sandetri> it would be under system
[16:35] <ActionParsnip> Panarchy: I've seen a replacemenr /usr/share/applications which you can add entries to the right click menu
[16:35] <Neoncamouflage> aikInsann-When on the login screen there'll be an option to change from gnome classic to Unity.

[16:36] <Phr3d13> Panarchy, i'd have to log into my unity, but as far as i know, down at the bottom of the unity sidebar, there's options to add stuff to it

[16:38] <Panarchy> yuvateja: Sure, in Perl
[16:38] <Phr3d13> Panarchy, scroll to the bottom of the sidebar and there's two add stuff options
[16:38] <szal> aikInsaan: what _is_ listed there?
[16:38] <meg_> :0
[16:39] <Panarchy> Phr3d13: Can't see that option :\
[16:40] <Anon1234> ActionParsnip: it seems it's a problem with nouveau drivers. But I've got an ATI card, not nVidia
[16:40] <yuvateja> panarchy: not possible in shell script
[16:41] <ActionParsnip> Panarchy: http://paste.ubuntu.com/646628/   here is mine, I can right click and the extra entries appear :)
[16:41] <wcchandler_work> When messing with SLES or RHEL during the install I have an option to use network based logins.  Is that possible on Ubuntu?  Is it trivial?
[16:41] <Phr3d13> Panarchy, try opening what you want to add and then find it in the sidebar, right click on it, select keep in launcher
[16:41] <ActionParsnip> Anon1234: could blacklist the nouveau driver, may help
[16:41] <Anon1234> ActionParsnip: Alright, I'll see
[16:42] <Anon1234> ActionParsnip: But it doesn't even seem to be loaded right now. The only ones related to graphics are fglrx and radeon
[16:42] <Panarchy> Phr3d13: That's what I was planning on doing, but since I already have a nautilus shortcut in the dock (for Home) I can't add a second one for \home\projects
[16:43] <yuvateja> panarchy: is n't possible in shell script ?
[16:43] <tertl3> lol

[16:44] <Phr3d13> how do i register my nick here?

[16:46] <fonfy> ActionParsnip, just bought a brand new Acer Aspire 5755G laptop
[16:47] <ActionParsnip> fonfy: you may need the xorg edger updates ppa to get the 270 driver
[16:47] <Lok> Hi, can anyone tell me if I can have two version of the same package on my pc ... I would need sip-api-7.1 but I already have sip-api-8.1 and I am not sure whether 8.1 is needed by other packages so I can't just remove it
[16:47] <fonfy> ActionParsnip, i'll be happy to just get the 1366 pixel resolution resolved
[16:47] <fonfy> ActionParsnip, i'm locked to 1024
[16:47] <ikonia> Lok: how have you got 2 versions of the same package on the PC ?
[16:47] <Phr3d13> Yay I'm registered!
[16:48] <Guest14388> Question: What type of formatting should I give to my secondary harddrive if I want to use it as a mirror/backup for my primary drive?
[16:48] <ActionParsnip> fonfy: the driver will help a lot. You are currently using the open driver
[16:48] <Lok> ikonia: I haven't ... I have 8.1 cause it is in the package repositories, but for another programm I would need a former one
[16:48] <aikInsaan> so the options on the log in screen are 'ubuntu' 'recovery console' 'ubuntu classic' 'ubuntu safe mode' 'user defined'
[16:48] <Rudolf_> Y i dont get the option of 'install ubuntu alongside windows 7' while installing ubuntu?
[16:48] <[snake]> can you get atlantis2 plugin for compiz on ubuntu 10.04 x86_64?
[16:48] <fonfy> ActionParsnip, you mean the previous sudo apt-get recommendation may fix the problem?
[16:48] <Guest14388> gparted does not seem to hande ext4 which is what my primary harddrive is
[16:48] <ikonia> Lok: do you have any ide of the software you want to use needs that specific version or a minimum of that version ?
[16:49] <aikInsaan> there is no option for unity...and i have tried these options...unity isn't one of them
[16:49] <ActionParsnip> fonfy: the command I gave installs the driver for you
[16:49] <Phr3d13> aikInsaan, i believe ubuntu if the 'unity' option
[16:49] <Lok> ikonia: you mean if I know what it is? or if I know the source?
[16:49] <ikonia> Lok: what software do you want to use ?
[16:49] <aikInsaan> Phr3d13: that's what I thought....turns out it isn't
[16:49] <[snake]> can you get atlantis2 plugin for compiz on ubuntu 10.04 64bit?
[16:50] <Lok> ikonia: Serna ... it is a graphical xml editor... the best i know acutally and I did not find any equivalent free alternative
[16:50] <Phr3d13> aikInsaan, if you don't have a good enough card/the right drivers the unity interface won't show up
[16:50] <aikInsaan> Phr3d13: i read somewhere that there are some hardware requirements
[16:50] <fonfy> ActionParsnip, I tried running the drivers directly from the nvidia website before. it was a shell script but it didn't seem to work.  I guess the apt-get maybe works nicer because its aimed directly for ubuntu right? (its nearly finished downloading)
[16:50] <ikonia> Lok: ok , so have you tried it with sip 8.1 ?
[16:50] <ikonia> Lok: or do you know it specfically needs sip 7
[16:50] <aikInsaan> Phr3d13: hmm...is there a way around that
[16:50] <Phr3d13> aikInsaan, do you still have the default drivers for your video card?
[16:50] <[snake]> i want some fish inside my desktop cube
[16:50] <aikInsaan> Phr3d13: yea, it's all runnning on default drivers
[16:51] <Phr3d13> aik System > Administration > Additional Drivers
[16:51] <fonfy> ActionParsnip, may I ask. Does edger ppa thing give me anything better than the plain sudo apt-get ?
[16:51] <aikInsaan> Phr3d13: i remember reading that you can install specific drivers to make unity work on most boxes where it doesn't work by default
[16:51] <ActionParsnip> fonfy: the packaged version will upgrade automatically. Makes life easier
[16:51] <Lok> ikonia: if I say like "sudo apt-get install serna" it tells me it depends on sip-api-7.1, but this one cannot be installed, so I guess I need exactly that one
[16:51] <ikonia> Lok: what repo are you getting serna from ?
[16:52] <fonfy> ActionParsnip, is there any reason it wasn't offered to me in the System->Administration->Hardware Drivers section?
[16:52] <ActionParsnip> fonfy: it will give a later version than the maverick repo can. The natty one is a bit newer than the maverick one

[16:53] <[snake]> how can I get the atlantis2 plugin for compiz?
[16:53] <skegeek> EHCP claims to be built specifically for Ubuntu, if that's so I wonder why it has an easy installation script but nothing for removal?
[16:53] <aikInsaan> is it true that if Unity isn't enabled on my Natty box with the default drivers, I can still get drivers which will make it work?

[16:55] <Lok> yes

[16:55] <ActionParsnip> aikInsaan: if you enable 3D accelleration then Unity will work
[16:55] <fonfy> ActionParsnip, does that seem ok?
[16:56] <aikInsaan> ActionParsnip: and how do I go about doing that?
[16:56] <ActionParsnip> fonfy: thats fine bcause natty doesn't ship with xorg.conf, you just made one

[16:59] <Phr3d13> SuperMiguel, how long did you wait?
[16:59] <Lok> ikonia: I should uninstall python-sip (the virtual package of sip-api-7.1) and then try to install serna?
[16:59] <ActionParsnip> ActionParsnip: test
[17:00] <SuperMiguel> Phr3d13, 10 min
[17:00] <OY1R> ikonia, i have no idea

[17:00] <BrianOfTacoma> Compositing seems to work fine on my first monitor, but when I have windows on my second they have no title bar etc.
[17:00] <ikonia> Lok: no, as that's what serna wants

[17:00] <szal> ikonia: I tried earlier, it does complain, hence I recommended Lok to file a bug
[17:00] <Phr3d13> might be

[17:00] <szal> ikonia: and I have nothing to do w/ SIP
[17:01] <ikonia> szal: apologies, I missed that note earlier, what package does it complain about
[17:01] <Lok> szal, ikonia: what does it mean to file a bug? do you mean to send a bug report?

[17:02] <ikonia> szal: Lok what happens if you try to remove sip-api-8 ?
[17:02] <SuperMiguel> is ubuntu compatible with intel raids?
[17:02] <Phr3d13> SuperMiguel, definitely sounds like it could be your raid causing peoblems then, and i have no exp with raid...
[17:02] <ikonia> SuperMiguel: fakeraid in general has poor support in linux

[17:03] <ikonia> szal: one moment so I can just check something
[17:03] <Lok> ikonia: well, it is the python-sip package which is a virtual one for sip-api-8 as far as I know, and if I uninstall it, nothing further happens  ...

[17:03] <Lok> ikonia: but either way, with or without it, I cannot install serna ... cause it always asks for sip-aip-7.1
[17:04] <ikonia> it's a bug, just confirmed it
[17:04] <BrianOfTacoma> craigbass1976: Hp has been good for us with LM and Ubuntu laptops
[17:04] <ikonia> Lok: szal it's a bug, wrong package dependencies
[17:04] <BrianOfTacoma> So has Dell
[17:04] <BrianOfTacoma> And Asus
[17:04] <Lok> ikonia: means I have to wait for a fix, i guess there's no workaround right?
[17:05] <ikonia> Lok: unless you want to re-package it yourself
[17:05] <Phr3d13> chriswr, try running the "wine whatever.exe" from the terminal
[17:05] <maujhsn> Can a newly issue PGP key issued by launchpad.net via gmail that is encrypted be cut & pasted in gnome terminal to be decrypted?
[17:05] <ikonia> Lok: which I'm assuming not, however as it's a dependency issue, rather than code, it should be quick/simple to fix

[17:08] <maujhsn> Pici gpg would be the command?
[17:08] <chriswr> Phr3d13, ok what would i cd to for desktop "cd home/username/Desktop"?

[17:30] <roxxo> BluesKaj: actually, me-tv the GTK DVB application -> https://launchpad.net/me-tv

What is the common practice to make sure that this happens after upstart has configured the network interface?
[17:31] <roxxo> Dasc: open files is a per-process limit, you'd probably have to just restart that process

[18:01] <wardc> hey everyone - sorry for the double post - can anyone help me set up fancontrol (from lm_sensors) on a new HP Pavilion G6 running natty?
[18:01] <KM0201> sorry babble never had to set up lmsensors, and don't have the slightest clue how to do it.
[18:01] <KM0201> !lmsensors
[18:01] <crackerjackz> i hit cancel while it was hanging on creating image checksum... disk appears to be working fine though..
[18:02] <babble> ubottu: thanks - I have sensors installed and 'sensors' in the terminal gives me info, but pwmconfig complains I have no pwm-compatible modules installed.
[18:02] <KM0201> babble: i think lmsensors though, is strictly a "monitor".. i don't think it will turn on/off fans
[18:02] <babble> haha, i'm a newb :)
[18:03] <babble> KM: I need the pwmconfig command to set up an /etc/fancontrol script for the fancontrol service .
[18:03] <babble> KM0201 (sorry)
[18:03] <babble> (I keep forgetting Xchat has nickcomplete. hehe)
[18:04] <KM0201> are you sure as pwmconfig, will work w/ your hardware?
[18:04] <babble> KM0201, that I'm not at all sure of :)
[18:04] <babble> heh
[18:06] <babble> KM0201, there's a default BIOS setting in my BIOS config for "Fan Always On" - *disabling* that doesn't change anything - is there something the natty installer would have inherited from that?
[18:06] <KM0201> babble: so "fans always on" in the BIOS, dosn't make them stay always on?... thats weird.. i don't think the Natty Installer would have "inherited" anything from that, but like I said, i've never had that issue.
[18:07] <KM0201> babble: what is your laptop model again
[18:07] <babble> KM0201, my fault - I"m not explaining my problem. my fans *are* always on. In Winders, they cycle on and off as needed. I'll live with the fan running for now if that's my best bet
[18:07] <babble> I'm on an HP Pavilion G6 (I can get you the exact model string if it helps)
[18:08] <KM0201> babble: ok.. so your fans are always on, but you're trying to figure out a way to shut them on/off, like in 'doze, correct?
[18:08] <suramprabhakar> sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat5 start now i use this command for staring the tomcat ofter running this when i typed loop back address in browser but i does not give any value
[18:08] <babble> KM0201, ideally, yeah, I'd like 'sensors' to turn fans on/off as needed. ('sensors' or whatever else I may need)
[18:09] <suramprabhakar> can u help me to configre the tomcat server
[18:11] <fonfy_> I have an Acer Aspire 5755G and I can't get the screen resolution to 1366 x 768 pixels.  It has an i5 core processor and also a NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M graphics chipset.  How do I tell ubuntu to use the i5 GPU and not the NVIDIA chipset??
[18:11] <babble> KM0201, thanks for fiddling with this for me :)
[18:11] <KM0201> babble: turns up a lot of hits on that machine and "fans not working" but not much else.
[18:12] <babble> KM0201, yeah, I've been through the forums and googling for a week or so. hehe.
[18:12] <babble> I was wondering if there was an easy-to-install kernel module I needed or something handy
[18:12] <KM0201> babble: yeah, unfortunately thats the extent of my knowledge on this, which sadly, is very limited.
[18:12] <suramprabhakar> i need tomacat serever plz help me
[18:12] <KM0201> babble: i dunno.. i would just set the fans to be "always on" if it were me...
[18:13] <babble> KM0201, no problem; I'd rather have them always on than not running at all :)
[18:13] <babble> KM0201, I can live with it for now.

[18:14] <os3> anyone know a server to download ubuntu repositories as an iso file
[18:14] <WelshDragon> Does anybody know of a PPF patcher for linux?
[18:15] <ppetraki> os3, nope, but there's nothing stopping you from doing that yourself
[18:15] <Make> hola
[18:15] <BluesKaj> iso file os3 ? why ?
[18:16] <aetas> I've seen people mounting NTFS partitions different ways.  Currently I can mount mine with mount type: ntfs, ntfs-3g, and fuseblk.  Can someone give me an idea of the differences or point me to the right place?
[18:16] <bluezone> ubuntu fails to detect "my monitor" because i am running it in virtualBox, and as a result it denies my access to wide-screen resolutions, any ways to force it to a certain resolution?
[18:17] <aetas> what video card?
[18:17] <Logan_> !es | Make
[18:18] <Make> alguien me puede ayudar con arch linux o un chat de ayuda???
[18:18] <bluezone> i have no 3d/2d acceleration because i am running ubuntu in virtualbox
[18:18] <aetas> err sorry, working at the same time :)
[18:18] <Make> alguien me puede ayudar con arch linux o un chat de ayuda???
[18:19] <Make> alguien me puede ayudar con arch linux o un chat de ayuda???
[18:19] <bluezone> Make, spanish?
[18:19] <Logan_> WelshDragon: I found this: http://sourceforge.net/projects/lppf/
[18:19] <WelshDragon> Logan_, unfortunately that seems to fail on ISO's larger than 2GB.
[18:19] <bluezone> Make, #ubuntu-es
[18:19] <Pici> Make: #archlinux-es
[18:19] <aetas> blue, you can put your resolutions in the xorg.conf file
[18:19] <bluezone> aetas, i should really look into what that file does lol
[18:19] <Carnage\> I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 and I have a davfs2-Mount in my fstab, that is supposed to be mounted during startup. However, I regularly get a message that this mount cannot be performed because the network is not yet available. What is the common practice to make sure that this happens after upstart has configured the network interface?
[18:20] <Logan_> WelshDragon: That's unfortunate.  It seems that you would have to run all of the other PPF patchers under Wine.
[18:20] <aetas> bluezone: it handles X startup, the monitor, and mouse and keyboard input
[18:20] <WelshDragon> Ok Logan_. That's for looking anyway :)
[18:20] <WelshDragon> Thanks*
[18:21] <Logan_> WelshDragon: No problem.  Good luck!
[18:21] <kongo_86> so i knowyall prob get his 100x a day.
[18:21] <aetas> Carnage\, services are started using the rc.x directories.  They are started in order based on the filename of the link in those directories
[18:22] <kongo_86> i upgraded to 11.04... but having issues with just plain ubuntu classic
[18:22] <kongo_86> my apps i open get placed weird on top of the screen with out no title bar... to close minimize or maximize...
[18:22] <kongo_86> i have to start in ubuntu-classic no graphics...
[18:22] <kongo_86> any ideas
[18:23] <bluezone> kongo_86, omg, i had an idea and i lost it
[18:23] <aetas> sounds like the windowmanager
[18:23] <jbwiv> guys, after an apt-get update and a reboot today, my system is unbootable. After the grub screen, I get a blank screen with a flashing cursor, and then moments later I'm dropped to busybox. Obviously no logs at this stage, but dmesg has messages like "ata1 Failed to identify. I/O Error, err_mask=0x40" or something very close to that, and also "scsi_alloc_dev: allocation failure during scan, some devices might not be configured". I'm b
[18:23] <Carnage\> aetas: It used to work like that, by now, most services are started by upstart.
[18:24] <bluezone> kongo_86, you can try ctrl-alt-backspace, i have no idea if itlle work though xD
[18:24] <aetas> Carnage\, what service was this again?
[18:24] <wilhart> anyone got flickering program om projector screen ?
[18:24] <wilhart> playbacking movies
[18:24] <nolcotin> I would like to do a fresh install of Ubuntu, it's been a while since I've tried linux in the desktop environment (as opposed to for development and work only). Is the 64 bit version recommmended?
[18:25] <coz_> nolcotin,  that should be fine,, I generally use 32 bit here
[18:25] <Carnage\> aetas: I guess it's the service mountall that mounts all mounts given in /etc/fstab. Unfortunately, it also tries to mount the network dependent mounts like samba and others which are not available yet since networking was not yet setup.
[18:25] <bluezone> nolcotin, yeah if your machine can handle it
[18:26] <bluezone> kongo_86, did it work?
[18:26] <coz_> nolcotin,   you have several options,, live cd...alternate cd..and minimal in stall cd
[18:26] <jbwiv> any ideas? I'm completely dead in the water :-/. is it a bad drive?
[18:26] <nolcotin> @coz_ I've incstalled ubuntu before
[18:26] <nolcotin> in 2006 :|
[18:26] <aetas> Carnage\, yeah that will complicate things.  Most likely you will need to write a script file for that mount in /etc/init/ and on the start line use net-device-up I believe
[18:26] <nolcotin> the 64 bit was flaky then
[18:26] <Corey> jbwiv: LiveCD time?
[18:26] <Carnage\> aetas: And mountall is definitely configured via upstart, I checked that already. There is also another service called mountall-net which seems to be what I want but I have no idea how I can use it.
[18:26] <kongo_86> bluezone:  im in ubuntu classic no graphhics. let me log off an dlog back in
[18:27] <jbwiv> Corey: as noted, I'm booted into a livecd now
[18:27] <nolcotin> will I be able to leverage the package manager with the 64 bit?
[18:27] <aetas> Carnage\, hold on, lemme look at that one
[18:27] <jbwiv> Corey: but aside from re-installing grub, which I did, I'm not sure what to do at this point
[18:27] <Carnage\> aetas: Yep, that would work for this single mount. Do you also know how I can use the existing mountall-net event?
[18:27] <Corey> I *think* there's a fixgrub option.
[18:27] <nolcotin> \help
[18:27] <Carnage\> Since that would be a more general solution to the problem
[18:28] <jbwiv> Corey: but I'm not certain this is even a grub problem? do you think it is?
[18:28] <bluezone> aetas, where is xorg.conf? lol
[18:28] <Corey> jbwiv: It's a good first start I'd figure?
[18:28] <Carnage\> bluezone: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[18:29] <jbwiv> Corey: but what about the problem leads you to believe it's a grub issue? The grub menu still comes up, after all
[18:29] <Merrioc> has anyone had issue's recently with software raid/mdadm creating md partitions as /dev/md/0 and calling them via /dev/md0
[18:29] <bluezone> Carnage\, doesnt seem to be there
[18:30] <SuperMiguel> does the alternate ubuntu installer include any window manager?
[18:30] <Phr3d13> still trying to get a hard drive working hooked to a via vt6410 pci ide card
[18:30] <jbwiv> guys, after an apt-get update and a reboot today, my system is unbootable. After the grub screen, I get a blank screen with a flashing cursor, and then moments later I'm dropped to busybox. Obviously no logs at this stage, but dmesg has messages like "ata1 Failed to identify.

[18:30] <aetas> bluezone, should be there if you have X running on it
[18:30] <bluezone> Carnage\, http://img14.imageshack.us/i/screenshotxu.png/
[18:30] <Carnage\> bluezone: It might not exist in case your xserver is configured through HAL
[18:31] <bluezone> hmm
[18:31] <asdfasdfasdfasdf> hello my touchpad block key is not working, also in kde system settings in the touchpad area it says i should check if synaptics is installed and correctly configured, can you help me?
[18:31] <Carnage\> aetas: xorg.conf does not need to be there.
[18:32] <Carnage\> If you make no special settings and are ok with the default, everything is configured through HAL afaik and for that, no xorg.conf is needed
[18:32] <jbwiv> is there a way to verify that a disk is healthy from the command line?
[18:32] <aetas> Carnage\, thats why I said should :)
[18:32] <Carnage\> :)
[18:32] <Carnage\> You have a clue about that mountall-net thingie?
[18:32] <bluezone> i found an xorg.conf with a search but it has almost nothing in it
[18:32] <Phr3d13> still trying to get a hard drive working hooked to a via vt6410 pci ide card
[18:33] <macUzer> how do i make a folder unmovable or undeletable yet allow users to save, edit, modify, delete files in that folder?
[18:33] <aetas> still looking at it, they have no documentation anywhere
[18:33] <chuwy> hi is anyone availible thats familure with banshee and getting it to be remotely accessed to a smart phone
[18:33] <Carnage\> aetas: Ye that was my problem too :) The main reason I want to fix it is that this problem stalls my boot process. It tells me "Could not mount blabla. Press M to fix it manually or S to skip."
[18:34] <Carnage\> I guess that if I skip it, mountall-net would be able to mouont it somehow, though I don't know how I can configure it
[18:34] <itilious> how can i have a complete passwordless logon account on ubuntu 10.04?
[18:34] <kierge> gwibber for facebook doesn't retrieve much data for me when i load it i only got two posts when i fired it up.
[18:34] <aetas> Carnage\, looks like it doesn't use a config, from what it looks like they just do network mounts again if they aren't currently mounted
[18:35] <itilious> I can logon without password on first login screen, but if "switch user" screen or "locked screen" appears i have to go back to the main logon screen, why?
[18:35] <aetas> Carnage\, we just have to get it to skip your mount on the first go around
[18:35] <Carnage\> aetas: Ye, that's what I understand too
[18:35] <kierge> anyone having issues with gwibber and facebook ?
[18:35] <Carnage\> Exactly :)
[18:35] <Carnage\> It somehow does not recognize that it is a network mount and attempts it anyway
[18:35] <itilious> when i type blank password i can't login, i must go back to user selection and then i can click user, how can i set ubuntu to not ever require a password for this account?
[18:36] <chuwy> does anyone now you to open a port with banshee so it can be remotly accessed
[18:36] <Carnage\> Of course I could just add some code in mountall-net.conf that performs my mount, but I thought there might be a better solution.
[18:37] <Tigerboy> hello
[18:37] <crackerjackz> i'm trying to install ubuntu on this  computer... i'm at the partition table i'm trying to make a partition for swap but when i select mount point swap isnt there
[18:38] <MrNthDegree> crackerjackz, IIRC swap doesn't get mounted anywhere
[18:38] <aetas> Carnage\, it would likely still hang you though, as long as you're ok with that
[18:38] <oCean> crackerjackz: swap has no mountpoint
[18:38] <crackerjackz> oCean, how do i make a swap then?
[18:38] <MrNthDegree> crackerjackz, basically you format it as the swap type of filesystem
[18:38] <crackerjackz> i see it now.. use as swap area
[18:38] <oCean> crackerjackz: you assign a certain partition to be swap... yes
[18:39] <crackerjackz> oCean, should it be a logical or primary partition?
[18:39] <Carnage\> aetas: Why should it hang? mountall-net.conf waits on net-device-up which should make it work, shouldn't it?
[18:39] <oCean> crackerjackz: does not matter
[18:39] <usman> hello, i have installed apache server on my machine and it works fine when i type the server ip, but i want to access the web pages by using domain how do i do that ?
[18:39] <aetas> Carnage\, how are you going to stop it from mounting the net mount point on the initial mountall?  Remove it from the fstab and enter it manually into that conf file?
[18:40] <ikonia> usman: you need to have a dns zone for that domain pointing at the IP address of your web server
[18:40] <Carnage\> aetas: Ye, that was what I thought
[18:40] <Phr3d13> still trying to get a hard drive working hooked to a via vt6410 pci ide card
[18:40] <Carnage\> Not very nice, but should work...
[18:40] <aetas> Carnage\, yeah thats true
[18:40] <crackerjackz> oCean, do i need to make a partition for boot?
[18:41] <crackerjackz> for /boot*
[18:41] <usman> ikonia: i have dns set for the server and i have defined A Record for the www
[18:41] <ikonia> crackerjackz: it's worth googling "fhs file system" and working out what you want/need
[18:41] <ikonia> crackerjackz: there is no "need" more what you want
[18:41] <crackerjackz> i see
[18:41] <ikonia> usman: ok, so it it resolving to the ip address of your machine ?
[18:41] <aetas> Carnage\, what is the fstab line you are using?  can remove any relevant info
[18:42] <Phr3d13> still trying to get a hard drive working hooked to a via vt6410 pci ide/raid card
[18:42] <jbwiv> I'm seeing a number of ata errors in my dmesg output: http://pastie.org/2233075 . can someone please take a look when you have a sec? Does this indicate I'm having multiple device failures?
[18:42] <ikonia> Phr3d13: are you using it in raid mode or jbod mode
[18:42] <Carnage\> http://webdav.foobar.org                  /media/webdav     davfs rw,uid=<user>,gid=<group>    0      0
[18:42] <ikonia> Phr3d13: I believe I looked at one of these cards a few days ago and it wasn't supported under linux
[18:43] <Phr3d13> ikonia, i keep seeing old workarounds and patches, but nothing that works anymore
[18:43] <aetas> Carnage\, and the msg it is giving you on boot-up?
[18:43] <ikonia> Phr3d13: probably because the cards not supported
[18:43] <ikonia> Phr3d13: are you using it in raid mode ?
[18:43] <Phr3d13> trying to get it to run two separate ide drives
[18:43] <ikonia> Phr3d13: in raid mode ?
[18:44] <ikonia> Phr3d13: as I recall it didn't actually have a jbod mode
[18:44] <Carnage\> aetas: I can't recall it exactly, but I think it just says "blabla could not be mounted."
[18:44] <ikonia> but I'm working from memory so don't know
[18:44] <Phr3d13> so how does windoes do it?
[18:44] <ikonia> Phr3d13: it has support for the card
[18:45] <Carnage\> aetas: Surprisingly, I cannot find a corresponding entry in syslog
[18:45] <Phr3d13> so that totally bites... anyone got a spare pci ide card that works with linux/ubuntu?
[18:45] <ikonia> Phr3d13: please don't ask that sort of thing here
[18:46] <Phr3d13> it is a support related question though
[18:46] <ikonia> Phr3d13: no, it's not, asking for people to give you hardware is not support
[18:46] <aetas> Carnage\, there's a mount option called nofail that would remove the error.  If its causing a delay, it may not help that.  The delay may have something to do with you mounting the directory using a DNS name that would have to be resolved.  Giving it an IP may make it fail faster.  Anyway, you can also change the mount option to noauto and then add the manual line to start it in your mountall-net.conf
[18:46] <Phr3d13> ok, so then how do i get what i have working?
[18:46] <ikonia> Phr3d13: it's not supported, I don't think you'll get it working
[18:47] <Phr3d13> but people were able to get it working on older releases
[18:47] <Phr3d13> what's the difference?
[18:47] <ikonia> Phr3d13: yes, a lot has changed and the card isn't maintained
[18:47] <Carnage\> aetas: I'll try the nofail option and give an IP adress
[18:47] <Carnage\> If that fails, I shall go for noauto
[18:47] <Carnage\> Thank you for your help!
[18:47] <aetas> it looks like this script was something they chucked together quickly so there's no command line options or a config file :(
[18:48] <aetas> atleast they admit its temporary
[18:48] <jbwiv> I'm seeing a number of ata errors in my dmesg output: http://pastie.org/2233075 . can someone please take a look when you have a sec? Does this indicate I'm having multiple device failures?
[18:49] <aetas> jbache, does your drive have SMART?
[18:49] <aetas> oops
[18:49] <aetas> jbwiv thats you
[18:49] <jbwiv> aetas: it does
[18:49] <jbwiv> smart reports two drives healthy
[18:49] <jbwiv> two have bad blcoks
[18:49] <MrNthDegree> healthy doesn't mean without bad blocks
[18:49] <jbwiv> but, of the two, one says the number of bad blocks is 16
[18:50] <jbwiv> the other says -1
[18:50] <MrNthDegree> healthy just means it isn't going to completely crap out entirely
[18:50] <jbwiv> MrNthDegree: so what should I look for?
[18:50] <MrNthDegree> smart usually triggers days before a disk is about to completely die
[18:50] <MrNthDegree> it's not that reliable
[18:50] <dr_willis> at not today....
[18:50] <Phr3d13> can anyone recommend me a pci ide card that works in ubuntu 11.04?
[18:51] <jbwiv> actually, via the disk utility, the smart status is "Disk has a few bad sectors"
[18:51] <ikonia> !hcl | Phr3d13
[18:51] <jbwiv> MrNthDegree: is there a reliable way to determine if a disck is bad?
[18:51] <aetas> jbwiv, use a disk scanner
[18:51] <MrNthDegree> jbwiv, not in my experience
[18:51] <dr_willis> Phr3d13: the generic pic ide controlles ive found all worked. but ther are in a closet somewhere.. so i dont know the brand
[18:52] <jbwiv> aetas: can you suggest one?
[18:52] <MrNthDegree> jbwiv, the most exhaustive software-based method is to do a full format for ext2/3/4 as it runs badblocks in a destructive way, which overwrites the whole disk multiple times with different patterns and verifies
[18:52] <Phr3d13> dr_willis, figures, the one card i buy because it has all i need doesn't work for me in ubuntu
[18:52] <MrNthDegree> and by full format I don't mean the way without arguments
[18:53] <aetas> jbwiv, one sec
[18:53] <jbwiv> MrNthDegree: that'll wipe data though?
[18:53] <jbwiv> aetas: ok, thx
[18:53] <dr_willis> Phr3d13:  mine are very old 4+ yrs
[18:54] <Phr3d13> dr_willis, if ya ever dig em out, lemme know... i could sure use one of em...
[18:55] <ikonia> Phr3d13: did I not make myself clear about asking for hardware
[18:56] <aetas> jbwiv, you can try badblocks.  you likely have it installed already
[18:56] <humansky> Can I run an Apache virtual host site from my home directory in Ubuntu Natty, even though my home directory is encrypted??
[18:56] <humansky> The reason I ask, I get the following error in the log file: (13)Permission denied: /home/humansky/workspace/novus/public/.htaccess pcfg_openfile: unable to check htaccess file, ensure it is readable
[18:56] <aetas> jbwiv, this will check it for bad blocks and while this is running make sure you are watching your logs because it may be throwing ATA errors in the background
[18:57] <Phr3d13> ikonia, what part of my last statement was asking for hardware?
[18:57] <jbwiv> aetas: ok, thanks. I'll give that a shot. I appreciate it
[18:57] <usman> ikonia: my dns is down, it was working few days ago
[18:57] <aetas> jbwiv, anytime.  I wish you luck
[18:57] <Phr3d13> ikonia, i merely stated that if he/she found them to let me know...
[18:57] <usman> thanks for pointing that out :)
[18:57] <ikonia> Phr3d13:  if ya ever dig em out, lemme know.I could sure use them
[18:57] <ikonia> Phr3d13: that means you want them and would like them from him
[18:57] <aetas> humansky, disable htaccess files for that directory
[18:58] <ikonia> usman: there you go, you have found the problem, well done
[18:58] <Phr3d13> right, but i didn't ask for them, i asked that if he found them to met me know, because i could use them
[18:59] <doug_f> installing 11.04 from iso downloaded today. getting crappy grub install error. grub-probe: error: cannot stat `aufs'. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/703009 shows no solution in the near future. Any ideas?
[18:59] <sirkiller> hello!
[19:00] <sirkiller> any1 there?
[19:00] <dr_willis> doug_f:  seen others in here asking a similer question.
[19:00] <io> sirkiller: ofcourse
[19:00] <humansky> aetas: I had to chmod my home directory to at least +x
[19:00] <humansky> and now it works
[19:00] <doug_f> dr_willis, any answers seen?
[19:00] <humansky> uggg, willy mistake
[19:01] <humansky> silly*
[19:01] <sirkiller> what do you guys think should i run KDE or GNOME?
[19:01] <worstadmin> Just run
[19:01] <Pici> sirkiller: whatever you like better.
[19:01] <dr_willis> doug_f:  nope
[19:01] <sirkiller> which one should be more stable/fast?
[19:01] <dr_willis> sirkiller:  install both
[19:01] <io> sirkiller: or Unity?
[19:02] <dr_willis> try them iut
[19:02] <sirkiller> don't like unity for some reason
[19:02] <fishscene> sirkiller: Gnome is more for enforced simplified use. KDE is more for people who like to customize their environment.
[19:02] <dr_willis> go with kde then
[19:02] <aetas> humansky, yeah that would do it too
[19:02] <sirkiller> ok, thanks!
[19:03] <sirkiller> anybody knows why flash is so laggy?
[19:03] <sirkiller> it's bumps up to almost 90%
[19:03] <JonathanLima> hello... i have ubuntu karmic installed here and i need to install samba on it without updating... is there any way to do it?
[19:03] <sirkiller> cpu usage*
[19:03] <fishscene> sirkiller: are you using the adobe flashplayer?
[19:03] <sirkiller> yeah
[19:04] <sirkiller> the one for ubuntu
[19:04] <fishscene> sirkiller: flash is known to be a resource hog. I'm wondering if you are using specialized video drivers- which may help to offload flash video processing to your GPU.
[19:04] <sirkiller> i used the one you can find in additional drivers tab
[19:05] <sirkiller> latest one
[19:05] <fishscene> sirkiller: Try rebooting to see if that fixes the flash playback issue. (I'm assuming you aren't using LTSP or full-screen HD playback)
[19:05] <itilious> how can i have ubuntu always go straight to login screen after lock?
[19:06] <Merrioc> Question: where would be the best place to ask questions regarding preseed pxe boot installations and issues with software raid
[19:06] <sirkiller> im using fullscreen 1080P
[19:06] <fishscene> merrioc: #ubuntu-server (I think)
[19:07] <Merrioc> thanx FishFace
[19:07] <fishscene> ...you're welcome I think
[19:07] <crackerjackz> pros and cons to encrypting the home folder?
[19:08] <fishscene> sirkiller: Unfortunately, that may be beyond the capabilities of your hardware and/or flash. I don't have any hardware that can perform to that level, so I'm not able to assist further other than seeing what a reboot does.
[19:08] <asdfasdfasdfasdf> hello i can't install windows 7 SP1 because i get the error code 800F0A12. i have ubuntu installed on system i'm googling and apparently the error code is because grub is installed,  the solution is to mark windows partition as active from within windows, would that be ok?
[19:09] <ikonia> asdfasdfasdfasdf: don't see why not
[19:09] <asdfasdfasdfasdf> ikonia, does grub rely on active partitions to boot? i don't want to endup with an unbootable system..
[19:10] <ikonia> asdfasdfasdfasdf: grub relys on the masterboot record, it will be fine
[19:10] <asdfasdfasdfasdf> ikonia, is there a linux command to see which partition is currently set to active so if a disaster happens i can rstore it?
[19:10] <asdfasdfasdfasdf> (from kubuntu's livecd)
[19:10] <ikonia> asdfasdfasdfasdf: sudo fdisk -l will show
[19:10] <gridbag> can you have 2 different users logged in on 2 different screens?
[19:10] <gridbag>   how do you set that up?
[19:11] <fishscene> gridbag: you can by using LTSP- but I'm not sure if that's what you are looking for.
[19:12] <JonathanLima> i´m trying to use old-releases repository to install samba on karmic 9.10, but it just tries to connect without success... is there any problem with that repository?
[19:12] <asdfasdfasdfasdf> ikonia, i ran that command, how could i tell it's active?
[19:13] <ikonia> asdfasdfasdfasdf: see the * next to boot
[19:13] <itilious> how can i have ubuntu show login screen after coming back from screensaver?
[19:13] <itilious> instead of "switch user" screen?
[19:14] <asdfasdfasdfasdf> ikonia, oh the * is actually in a extended one. i have two question: how many active partitions can there be at the same time in a HD? do i have to format to re set it as active/unactive?
[19:14] <itilious> only forum postings i've found are years old and offer no solution :(
[19:14] <ikonia> asdfasdfasdfasdf: just one
[19:14] <asdfasdfasdfasdf> ah great
[19:14] <asdfasdfasdfasdf> do i need to format it to change it's activeness?
[19:15] <ikonia> asdfasdfasdfasdf: no
[19:16] <mang0> ikonia: Remember yesturday I couldn't chose a dock? Well I've got the GLX-Dock OpenGL. Tis epic. Like, totally epic.
[19:16] <roasted> Networking question - What is optimal when setting up a static interface in Ubuntu? Should I ONLY have IP/subnet/gateway in the interfaces file? Or should I have more entries listed, such as network, braodcast, etc?
[19:16] <cmyland> Hi guys. I have a weird problem on an -old- Packard Bell R1984 laptop with a rt2560pci wlan card. Ubuntu 11.04 reports that the wless card is disabled by hardware switch, but the computer doesn't have one except for a Fn+F1 combo that doesn't work (not in Windows either, btw). Rfkill lists it as hardblocked. Stopping network manager, rmmod-ing the rt2500pci driver, rfill unblock all, modprobe rt2500pci and rfkill list lists the card as NOT b
[19:16] <cmyland> locked, but as soon as I start network manager again it returns to Blocked: Yes.
[19:16] <ikonia> mang0: errr, "ok"
[19:16] <cmyland> I had some initial issues with ubuntu (bios?) not being able to give the pci card an IRQ address, but that is fixed, dmesg doesn't list any more issues, and the card is detected just fine.
[19:16] <john_rambo> I want that cpu meter >>>http://youtu.be/3vAsy1l2ewU    What to install ?
[19:17] <mang0> hehe
[19:17] <Abhijit> john_rambo, next time try to not use tinyurls
[19:17] <Abhijit> use original ones only
[19:17] <john_rambo> Abhijit, Ok
[19:17] <Abhijit> john_rambo, that cpu clock is in mac theme of cairo dock
[19:18] <asdfasdfasdfasdf> ikonia, okay i googled and apparently using fdisk isn't reaaaally hard i¡ll mark is as active using window's tool.
[19:19] <john_rambo> Abhijit, Thats a problem actually, I dont want cairo dock ....Thanks
[19:19] <Abhijit> ok
[19:19] <nobody-inparticu> I have personally had problems with caido dock in the past
[19:19] <oCean> Abhijit: why would we have full/long urls clutter the channel if one can use a shortened url?
[19:20] <Neoncamouflage> Is there any way to set up different backgrounds for separate workstations?
[19:20] <Abhijit> oCean, it was youtube url it was not long
[19:20] <Abhijit> oCean, one can not predict what lies there in tinyurl
[19:20] <fishscene> shortened url's are technicly proxy's and can hide nasty things that no one would know unless the link is clicked.
[19:22] <zykotick9> oCean, i do believe, not known the true URL can lead to some problems is "some" cases, open for misuse.
[19:22] <JuJuBee_> I just install 11.04 and mounted an ntfs partition as /DATA  I can't seem to change owner or perms on this mount/subdirectories
[19:23] <JuJuBee_> everything is root:plugdev and 770
[19:23] <zykotick9> JuJuBee_, you can't apply POSIX permission on a FAT or NTFS drive, it's handled by the mount command you use.
[19:23] <ikonia> JuJuBee_: you won't be able to mount sub directoires as it's mounted through fuse
[19:23] <ikonia> JuJuBee_: it's a 1 time file system, treated "flat"
[19:24] <JuJuBee_> I am used to seeing 777 on this in older version of ubuntu
[19:24] <carlos> nao consigo visualizar as fotos do cd , da como cd vazio???? alqguem sabe do que se trata? estou usando o ubuntu 1104
[19:24] <ikonia> !br | carlos
[19:24] <zykotick9> !es > carlos
[19:24] <JuJuBee_> wait, my bad, this is ext3 partition
[19:25] <carlos> obrigado
[19:25] <JuJuBee_> maybe not... hang on
[19:25] <JuJuBee_> I was correct the first time... ntfs
[19:25] <JuJuBee_> How can I allow anyone to read write?
[19:26] <edbian> JuJuBee_: Is the folder windows 7 or windows xp ?
[19:26] <JuJuBee_> no just data
[19:26] <JuJuBee_> that I use between linux and windows
[19:26] <nit-wit> JuJuBee_, did you mount it with fstab?
[19:26] <JuJuBee_> yes
[19:26] <JuJuBee_> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/646743/
[19:26] <nit-wit> JuJuBee_, give us a pastebin of the fstab
[19:27] <nit-wit> JuJuBee_, that is probably it eh.;)
[19:27] <ikonia> JuJuBee_: change the umask
[19:27] <mads> Afternoon guys :D
[19:27] <ikonia> JuJuBee_: it's treated as a mount mask
[19:27] <JuJuBee_> to 000
[19:27] <SuperMiguel> how do i remove all the gnome crap that comes with ubuntu, including gnome it self?
[19:28] <fishscene> SuperMiguel: I believe the package is called "ubuntu-desktop"
[19:28] <JuJuBee_> ikonia: change to 000?
[19:28] <ikonia> SuperMiguel: open the package manager, search for "gnome" and mark for removal
[19:28] <MrNthDegree> SuperMiguel, why not just install Xubuntu or Lubuntu or Kubuntu if you want an alternate DE?
[19:28] <nit-wit> JuJuBee_, look at the wiki.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fstab
[19:28] <zykotick9> JuJuBee_, umask are subtracted, so your OTHER group has No permission
[19:28] <ikonia> fishscene: that's just a meta package
[19:28] <ikonia> JuJuBee_: what ever permissions you feel fit
[19:28] <fishscene> nvm then :)
[19:28] <noOneknows> Can anyone here tell me how to figure out if my Sony Vaio's biometric finger scanner is detected?
[19:28] <MrNthDegree> SuperMiguel, my advice is sudo apt-get purge gnome* to remove all of gnome
[19:28] <SuperMiguel> MrNthDegree, cuz i want fluxbox :)
[19:28] <kinheads> i know this may sound weird
[19:28] <nit-wit> JuJuBee_,  this is the line    /dev/hda1       /mnt/WinXP      ntfs-3g      quiet,defaults,locale=en_US.utf8,umask=0
[19:28] <kinheads> but is their an irc for general advice
[19:29] <ikonia> kinheads: ask in #freenode
[19:29] <Pici> kinheads: there is #ubuntu-offtopic as well.
[19:29] <celthunder> kinheads: general advice on what
[19:29] <kinheads> girls, honestly
[19:29] <celthunder> kinheads: gl lol
[19:30] <MrNthDegree> SuperMiguel, Lubuntu and then stick fluxbox on it - but `sudo apt-get purge gnome*` will wipe out all of gnome including GDM for you =]
[19:30] <kinheads> so no?
[19:30] <ikonia> SuperMiguel: or use fluxbuntu
[19:30] <MrNthDegree> ikonia, outdated by loads, it has 9.04 as the newest version
[19:31] <SuperMiguel> ikonia, they are back in 9.04 :S
[19:31] <ikonia> terrible
[19:31] <MrNthDegree> i'm surprised fluxbox is still used given LXDE's light footprint
[19:32] <MrNthDegree> it's the ultimate light-but-functional-like-winexplorer setup
[19:32] <doug_f> dr_willis, I got it to work! cannot stat `aufs' avoided. Steps wipe current MBR -> Start installer from live disk with updates -> Custom partioning with dedicated /boot and / partions NO LVM. -> 11.04 installed and Working!!!
[19:33] <SuperMiguel> MrNthDegree, i use it cuz i can customize everything, and i get more screen space
[19:34] <SuperMiguel> MrNthDegree, not really care about light, 16GB of ram, 1gb/s raid 0, and i7 cpu oc to 5.0 Ghz
[19:34] <MrNthDegree> nice
[19:35] <SuperMiguel> MrNthDegree, u use gnome?
[19:35] <Kazilla> SuperMiguel: you could start a small webhosting company with that much power, it you use it right
[19:35] <Kazilla> *if
[19:35] <MrNthDegree> SuperMiguel, gnome 2.x yeah, hate 3.x and Unity
[19:35] <SuperMiguel> Kazilla, sucks that my upload speed are only 5 mb :(
[19:37] <aetas> Anyone know the difference between the ntfs, ntfs-3g and fuseblk mount types?
[19:37] <MrNthDegree> aetas, I can explain ntfs vs. ntfs-3g
[19:37] <aetas> MrNibbles, go fori t
[19:37] <MrNthDegree> aetas, Linux has an in-kernel NTFS module.  It is read-only with limited write abilities, it sucks
[19:38] <edbian> MrNthDegree: there is ntfs-3g that comes with Ubuntu and is read write and works great
[19:38] <MrNthDegree> aetas, ntfs-3g is a userland daemon which uses FUSE within the kernel to provide NTFS drivers
[19:38] <edbian> MrNthDegree: nevermind! :D
[19:38] <MrNthDegree> aetas, it works well and has read/write abilities
[19:38] <Jordan_U> doug_f: Were you using the LiveCD installer or the alternate CD installer? I think only the alternate install CD supports LVM, which may have been your original problem.
[19:38] <aetas> MrNibbles, see thats where I get confused.  I thought that one was mounted as fuseblk
[19:39] <MrNthDegree> aetas, ntfs-3g uses FUSE, but it can be mounted using ntfs-3g as the type IIRC
[19:39] <aetas> MrNthDegree, gotcha.  Much more info than I've been able to find atleast.
[19:39] <doug_f> Jordan_U, I was using the standard installer. Manually setting the partitions may have been the clue.
[19:39] <MrNthDegree> aetas, FUSE just means it's a filesystem in userspace, which means it'll be slower than a kernelspace driver, but it also means you won't suffer kernel panics with bugs (usually) ;)
[19:41] <MrNthDegree> aetas, ntfs-3g is the best route to go currently though and it's well-tested, it is even used by Mac and Solaris users ^^
[19:41] <aetas> MrNibbles, yeah I'm familiar with FUSE, I just started getting confused when fuseblk showed up.  I spent awhile looking through Google to tell the difference but couldn't find anything
[19:41] <aetas> MrNibbles, I just wanted to make sure ntfs-3g wasn't an old deprecated driver or something and fuseblk was the new one
[19:41] <amalgameate> hi, i've added ubuntu ALL=(ALL) ALL to my /etc/sudoers file, but i'm still getting "ubuntu is not allowed to run sudo on www".  does anyone know how i can enable my ubuntu user to run sudo?
[19:42] <SuperMiguel> amalgameate, try sudo -i
[19:43] <rstaples> does anyone know of a ubuntu/linux equivalent command to windows {windows-s} for screen captures?
[19:43] <Jordan_U> doug_f: If you want to use LVM you should use the alternate install CD.
[19:43] <deathwolf_> can anyone help me with a video problem?
[19:43] <MrNthDegree> aetas, fuseblk is the mount name for when a FUSE-based driver is used
[19:43] <awkisopen> Is the new point release of Ubuntu likely to allow me to adjust the brightness on my laptop (finally)? I tried upgrading but the upgrade broke my touchpad =/
[19:43] <KM0201> rstaples: ctrl + prtscrn, i think
[19:43] <MrNthDegree> aetas, or that has been my experience after checking mtab, at least
[19:43] <amalgameate> SuperMiguel: still the same result.  the weird thing is it's asking for my password for ubuntu and not for root
[19:43] <Jakman85> rstaples, will the standard screencapture utility not work?
[19:44] <SuperMiguel> amalgameate, thats the way it should be
[19:44] <aetas> MrNthDegree, sounds like you're saying fuseblk and ntfs-3g could be the same thing, just different in what started the mount
[19:44] <KM0201> rstaples: if you're noot deadset on using a keyboard command, you can just use the screenshot utility, it's under application/accessories
[19:44] <HackerII> rstaples  are you a bot ?     tab + prt/scr
[19:44] <rstaples> Jakman85, not sure how to activate it
[19:44] <Jakman85> rstaples, are you using 11.04?
[19:45] <amalgameate> SuperMiguel: ah ok, is my /etc/sudoers file correct with the line "ubuntu ALL=(ALL) ALL"?
[19:45] <rstaples> HackerII, no, I know about the prnt screen, I was looking for something that would allow me to select a portion of the screen then capture it
[19:45] <HackerII> o
[19:45] <rstaples> Jack87|Away, yes
[19:45] <lurchmeister> hey all!
[19:45] <SuperMiguel> amalgameate,  is ubuntu ur user?
[19:45] <KM0201> rstaples: then you'll want to use the screenshot utility for that.. it has a way to capture only a specific window, or to "select an area"... to screenshot
[19:45] <rstaples> using 11.04 but turn off that unity  ugh
[19:45] <amalgameate> SuperMiguel: yea
[19:45] <intlkleinblue> I just want to say thanks for such an amazing operating system and experience. I've been using Ubuntu only for about a year and half now and used to have all these little annoynances and problems. A couple of days ago, I started from scratch with a new Lucid 10.04 install after backing up my music and *every* problem I used to have is gone. Everything works flawlessly. Evolution doesn't hang. Brightness keys for my laptop work. Wireless
[19:45] <HackerII> ok, well there are some pgms that do that, just do a screen capture search, you'll find it, I've esed it a couple yrs back
[19:46] <Jakman85> rstaples, its a program called "Take Screenshot"
[19:46] <lurchmeister> I am having internet connection issues on my linux box.  I need to know where the normal location of the adsl username/password file is located.  can anyone help me out?
[19:46] <rstaples> KM0201, ok I thought there was something by default - ok thanks
[19:46] <awkisopen> intlkleinblue: I wish the brightness keys for my laptop worked :(
[19:46] <KM0201> rstaples: it should be under application/accessories, it's fairly straight foward
[19:46] <mang0> What's the command to switch workspaces?
[19:46] <bobg_> Looking for some assistance in delivering pre-configured NoMachine client connections from a web browser for users to connect to Ubuntu desktops? Is this the right place?
[19:46] <SuperMiguel> amalgameate, then yes =)
[19:47] <amalgameate> SuperMiguel: hmm, any idea why i still can't sudo then?
[19:47] <SuperMiguel> amalgameate, u using the user password right?
[19:47] <rstaples> Jakman85, thats the one, knew it was something like that.  Thanks Jak
[19:47] <HackerII> rstaples   http://ostatic.com/blog/six-top-screen-capture-tools-for-linux
[19:47] <intlkleinblue> awkisopen: yeah, that was a big issue before (was also running 10.04 before, but now it's a newer kernel or something and it works great out of the box; actually I just discovered it seconds ago as I tested it) The fresh install alleviated all of my old problems. Themed with Elegant Gnome Theme from gnome-look.org, it all looks and works fantastically.
[19:48] <KM0201> the program is actually called "gnome-screenshot"... but it's labeled "Take Screenshot"... ;)
[19:48] <rstaples> its been a while since I been on linux/ubuntu.  Loving it so far
[19:48] <awkisopen> intlkleinblue: Do you have an HP laptop by any chance? Shot in the dark
[19:48] <mads> guys, how do I connect to ubuntu-offtopic room? Been way to many years since i used IRC
[19:48] <rstaples> How many people here the Unity?  In 11.04?
[19:48] <awkisopen> Also, that's why I'm hoping/praying for the point release to fix some issues
[19:48] <fructose> Unity seemed to go buggy and I can't see the titlebar on my windows now. Is there any way to 'reset' the view?
[19:48] <awkisopen> rstaples: I do! It works great in a virtual machine
[19:49] <Jakman85> rstaples, i use unity
[19:49] <awkisopen> well, technically, Unity-2d
[19:49] <mang0> mads: type /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[19:49] <rstaples> awkisopen, I found it confusing, removed it. hmm
[19:49] <amalgameate> SuperMiguel: o wow....i had never setup a password...doh! thanks haha
[19:49]  * KM0201 not a fan of unity.. :(
[19:49] <HackerII> rstaples  shutter looks like what you want
[19:49] <rstaples> I had a hard time finding my apps
[19:49] <mang0> How do I switch workspace? tab + ?
[19:50] <bobg_> rstaples - I am using UNITY, I like it it but I can't get it to run in the Cloud.
[19:50] <rstaples> HackerII, nice, I'll give that a try
[19:50] <mang0> got it
[19:50] <HackerII> ok, it will take captures of only what you want
[19:50] <mang0> ctrl + tab + left/right arrow
[19:50] <amalgameate> SuperMiguel: o..wait..nvm :(
[19:50] <noOneknows> how can i figure how the device name of my fingerprint reader on my sony vaio?
[19:50] <amalgameate> SuperMiguel: yea, my password is correct but still the same "not allowed to run sudo on www"
[19:51] <SuperMiguel> amalgameate, wa u mean by sudo in www?
[19:51] <awkisopen> intlkleinblue: I happen to currently have that problem on my new HP laptop. I tried installing 10.10 instead, hoping it was fixed, but the touchpad drivers didn't work...
[19:51] <amalgameate> SuperMiguel: the error message i get is : "ubuntu is not allowed to run sudo on www.  This incident will be reported."
[19:51] <fructose> Found my answer... compiz -replace
[19:51] <fructose> Err.. compiz --replace
