[00:00] <bilz> edbian, that doesnt exist
[00:00] <edbian> bilz: ... what?
[00:00] <edbian> bilz: We like... need that :)
[00:00] <bilz> doh, an MBR and a menu.lst!
[00:00] <qin> bliket_: You propably want to connect with key not password.
[00:00] <bliket_> no its ok
[00:01] <bilz> will ubuntu automagically make me one?
[00:01] <trancegeek> linux != automagic anything
[00:01] <edbian> bilz: ha,  can you run sudo grub-mkconfig -o /mnt/boot/grub/grub.cfg     (then it will make one)
[00:01] <kercyr> I got it, thanks.
[00:01] <JamesJRH> One of my Ubuntu laptops crashed. Now it can't mount /dev/sda2. I have booted to a Natty LiveCD. 'sudo e2fsck -fv /dev/sda2' says the device is busy. Mounting hangs and becomes uninterruptible. Any ideas why this is happening or how to fix this?
[00:02] <trancegeek> sounds like a bad hdd
[00:02] <edbian> JamesJRH: the harddrive is damaged
[00:02] <edbian> JamesJRH: e2fsck checks a harddrive for errors.  It should not hang.
[00:02] <bilz> edbian, /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?)
[00:02] <edbian> bilz: ugh
[00:02] <edbian> bilz: sudo chroot /mnt/
[00:02] <tmbg> how do you set a dns suffix search order that dhclient/network manager will not mess with?
[00:03] <edbian> bilz: Then sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[00:03] <JamesJRH> edbian: e2fsck doesn't hang, it says it's busy and gives up.
[00:03] <bilz> edbian, same error
[00:03] <edbian> JamesJRH: still a bad sign.  does the live CD boot?
[00:03] <edbian> bilz: This just got harder...
[00:04] <bilz> i've no idea how I broke it so badly
[00:04] <JamesJRH> edbian: Yes, the LiveCD booted fine.
[00:04] <edbian> JamesJRH: Can you mount the drive now?
[00:04] <bilz> will it be easier to just reinstall?
[00:04] <qin> JamesJRH: Well you could try to copy sda2 make image and mount it, testdisk to check fs would be fisrt step, anyway.
[00:05] <edbian> bilz: Can you sudo update-grub   ?
[00:05] <edbian> bilz: I'm living in a fantasy world.
[00:05] <bilz> edbian, same error
[00:05] <edbian> bilz: I don't think it's easier to re-install.
[00:05] <trancegeek> i'm trying to set up an ad-hoc network to share an internet connection to my phone from my ubuntu-pc, networkmanager will not do this reliably so far and i'm not sure why, iwconfig shows the essid as set every time with networkmanager but it doesn't show up as an available network on multiple devices including a windows pc that i tried, so i tried using the manual iwconfig method, and setting the essid results in iwconfig s
[00:05] <trancegeek> till showing a blank essid
[00:06] <edbian> bilz: I found out here to fix it here: http://www.robertbeal.com/562/rebuilding-grub2-grub-cfg-from-ubuntu-live-cd
[00:06] <Spynxic> Does Wine work for *.msi?
[00:06] <edbian> bilz: Since we did that chroot you probably have to reboot the live CD
[00:06] <edbian> bilz: Reboot the live CD and then follow those instructions.  I'm here to answer any questions you have on the way.
[00:07] <NictraSavios> Spynxic, Yes
[00:07] <JamesJRH> edbian: Any attempt to mount it becomes uninterruptible. Even when I have not mounted it, there is an uninterruptible process 'jbd2/sda2-8'. Maybe this is preventing other processes from accessing it.
[00:07] <bilz> thanks edbian, going to give it a shot now
[00:08] <Spynxic> NictraSavios: I keep getting a "wine: Bad EXE format for [path to the .msi]"
[00:08] <trancegeek> useless room is useless
[00:08] <edbian> bilz: good luck!
[00:09] <edbian> JamesJRH: Take a look at the drive in disk utility or gparted
[00:09] <Guest97> Is it possible to boot into Unity from a LiveUSB?
[00:10] <Jordan_U> Guest97: If your graphics card has open source drivers available with full 3D support, yes.
[00:10] <qin> trancegeek: sudo service network-manager stop && sudo ifconfig wlan0 down && sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode ad-hoc && sudo ifconfig wlan0 up && iwconfig
[00:10] <NictraSavios> Spynxic, Thats cus theres a special wine for msi :P
[00:10] <chaddy> qin: he left with a petted lip
[00:11] <Guest97> Jordan_U Yeah I figured that was the problem, thanks.
[00:11] <NictraSavios> Spynxic, hint: msiexec
[00:11] <JamesJRH> Apparently I can't kill uninterruptible proccesses, but can I reboot the LiveCD in such a way so that 'jbd2/sda2-8' is not started in the first place. Any other utility blocks, probably because /dev/sda2 is in use by this uninterruptible process.
[00:11] <Jordan_U> Guest97: You're welcome.
[00:11] <qin> chaddy: /ignore *geek* would be much less typing!

[00:12] <cordell> What dell laptop is pictured on the ubuntu homepage?
[00:12] <JamesJRH> Note, I can access files on the partition from Grub.
[00:12] <bilz> edbian, SUCESS
[00:12] <johntramp> hi.  is it possible to run two different window managers on a dual monitor system?
[00:13] <bilz> my hero :p
[00:13] <chaddy> johntramp: yes
[00:13] <froq> so when is 11.10 due out?
[00:13] <chaddy> 10/11
[00:13] <edbian> bilz:  :D
[00:13] <edbian> bilz: Glad I could help
[00:14] <edbian> froq: in october
[00:14] <edbian> froq: in WX.YZ  the WX is the year and the YZ is the month
[00:14] <edbian> froq: Plus they always release every 6 months (april and october)
[00:14] <Guest46279> Hey can anyone help me with a problem with mp3s?
[00:14] <JamesJRH> qin: I've used GNU Ddrescue and Testdisk before, but if /dev/sda2 is busy and blocking, I don't think I can make an image.
[00:15] <chaddy> Guest46279: what's the problem?
[00:15] <Jordan_U> JamesJRH: What liveCD are you using?
[00:16] <Guest46279> I ripped my songs of of my iphone 4 using rhythmbox, but when I transfer them on to windows via flash drive it won't recognize it as an mp3
[00:16] <Guest46279> nor will they play on my ps3 off the flash drive
[00:16] <JamesJRH> Jordan_U: Natty.
[00:16] <chaddy> Guest46279: did you rip them as mp3?
[00:16] <Guest46279> yeah in ubuntu under properties of all the files it says it's an mp3
[00:17] <froq> I knew it was every 6 months, but I wasn't sure the exact months.
[00:17] <Guest46279> MP3 audio (audio/mpeg)
[00:17] <Guest46279> is what it says
[00:17] <froq> edbian, thanks
[00:17] <edbian> froq: sure
[00:17] <Guest46279> and the files work fine on ubuntu
[00:18] <chaddy> is the flash drive recognized normally on windows? ie is it formatted FAT?
[00:18] <JamesJRH> What is the 'cut here' on line 772 of http://paste.ubuntu.com/630579/ ? How do I see what has been cut?
[00:18] <froq> I wish windows had a built in VNC viewer.  stupid windows.
[00:18] <Corey> !ping
[00:19] <mgj> froq, just apt-get.... oh wait :)
[00:19] <Guest46279> windows recognizes the drive and i can put the files on to my win7 partition but no program will open the songs
[00:19] <Guest46279> it's like it turns into some other file type
[00:20] <froq> mgj, yeah haha... apt-get... o dang.
[00:20] <chaddy> Guest46279: not sure what's going on there, try installing VLC on windows and opening with that, at the least it should give some informative errors
[00:20] <Guest46279> ok
[00:20] <froq> any of you ever watched "game of thrones"
[00:20] <Corey> !ot | froq
[00:21] <froq> most amazing show! :)  BACK TO TOPIC now...
[00:21] <Jordan_U> JamesJRH: That means if you're filing a bug report you should include the text between  ------------[ cut here ]------------ and ---[ end trace 7393fc744199876c ]---
[00:21] <chaddy> Guest46279: another thought: it might be that you removed the flash disk unsafely from ubuntu and the files never had a chance to get written properly
[00:21] <chaddy> froq: watching the finale now
[00:21] <froq> is there any way to get Outlook working on Ubuntu?  I have tried Wine, but it didn't work.
[00:21] <mgj> Dont do it froq
[00:21] <mgj> Use a good email client instead
[00:22] <mgj> one which actually works on linux
[00:22] <Guest46279> chaddy: i can play the song perfectly of the flash drive in linux
[00:22] <froq> mgj, don't do what?!  use outlook?!  I want it for the calendar/ email combination, I don't like evolution
[00:22] <edbian> froq: I suggest using thunderbird
[00:22] <froq> mgj, what email clients do you recommend?!  I also need a calendar apps.
[00:22] <mgj> froq, Generally, microsoft apps dont work well in linux using wine. Maybe you like thunderbird better?
[00:23] <Jordan_U> JamesJRH: Can you pastebin the output of "mount" and "pgrep fsck"?
[00:23] <mgj> I use google for everything, cant recommend any im afraid
[00:23] <froq> mgj, i use thunderbird, but not calendar.
[00:23] <JamesJRH> Jordan_U: Ahh, Ok thanks.
[00:23] <Jordan_U> JamesJRH: You're welcome.
[00:23] <wrtpeeps_> hey guys. I just installed 11.04, I'm wondering how do I tell the "close, min and max" buttons to be on the top right of windows rather than the top left?
[00:23] <pLr> !vm
[00:23] <pLr> froq: ^
[00:23] <Jordan_U> !controls | wrtpeeps_
[00:23] <Guest46279> chaddy: when i click on file properties of the song in windows it says the file type is file
[00:24] <mgj> VirtualBox just to run outlook? Now i've seen everything
[00:24] <Guest46279> haha like literally it just says file
[00:24] <Jordan_U> wrtpeeps_: It might be a bit odd to have then on the right with the global menu though.
[00:24] <Spynxic> So I have a TB hdd, any suggestions on how big I should make the linux partition haha
[00:24] <cordell> What dell laptop is pictured on the ubuntu homepage?
[00:24] <pLr> mgj: its the most stable under linux
[00:24] <jrib> Spynxic: 1 TB?
[00:24] <froq> QEmu... gotta look @ that.
[00:24] <wrtpeeps_> ubottu: there a reason for that?
[00:25] <wrtpeeps_> oh
[00:25] <wrtpeeps_> ha!
[00:25] <wrtpeeps_> woops
[00:25] <wrtpeeps_> Jordan_U: is there a reason for that?
[00:25] <edbian> Spynxic: Make a 10Gb root, 1Gb swap, and the rest /home
[00:25] <mgj> pLr, i *like* virtualbox. But running a VM.... for an email application? Seems a bit excessive to me. But each to his own i guess
[00:25] <froq> mgj, it is so excessive.
[00:25] <JamesJRH> Jordan_U: pgrep fsck?
[00:25] <Spynxic> jrib: yes 1 TB
[00:26] <jrib> Spynxic: yes, make the linux partition 1 TB?
[00:26] <edbian> Spynxic: No!  Do what I said!
[00:26] <cordell> mgj: thunderbird?
[00:26] <JamesJRH> Jordan_U: mount hangs with no output and becomes uninterruptible.
[00:26] <Spynxic> edbian: lol
[00:26] <mgj> cordell, yes....?
[00:26] <chrisf> mgj: excessive, keeps the outlook safely contained though ;)
[00:26] <Spynxic> edbian: what is the 1 gb swap?
[00:26] <JamesJRH> Jordan_U: As do some other utils.
[00:26] <mgj> chrisf, good point :P
[00:26] <cordell> mgj: just suggesting an email application
[00:26] <edbian> Spynxic: swap is used when you run out of ram
[00:26] <jrib> Spynxic: I was assuming you were asking linux vs windows space
[00:27] <Spynxic> jrib: yes
[00:27] <mgj> cordell, oh, thanks, but im not the one that needs one. froq does
[00:27] <edbian> Spynxic: You  need one.  1gb is a good size.  maybe 2gb if you are an extreme person and do a lot at once.
[00:27] <jrib> Spynxic: yes, so give linux everything
[00:27] <lolmatic> how do i get gnome 3 on current ubuntu?
[00:27] <lolmatic> unity doesnt work.
[00:27] <Spynxic> edbian: 6 gb of ram already, although the computer has a crappy processor which slows everything down
[00:28] <edbian> Spynxic: Yes, certainly.  All of it should be used for linux.  All the harddrives in the world don't have enough combined space to fit both windows and linux
[00:28] <edbian> Spynxic: Then I think 1Gb of swap is more than enough (as if you'll ever use it)
[00:28] <jrib> Spynxic: 6gb swap if you want to suspend to disk
[00:28] <JamesJRH> Jordan_U: fsck http://paste.ubuntu.com/630588/
[00:29] <Spynxic> edbian: does the installer for ubuntu actually ask you the size you'd like to make it?
[00:29] <froq> why does sudo apt-get install lightning do nothing?
[00:29] <Spynxic> edbian: "it" being the swap
[00:29] <edbian> Spynxic: If you do it manually
[00:29] <Guest46279> anyone have any knowledge why my mp3s work on linux but when transferred to windows they are recognized as the file type: file
[00:29] <chrisf> Spynxic: it will do something sane by default, but iirc there is a 'setup partitions manually' option.
[00:29] <edbian> Spynxic: There are automatic options (like 4 of them) that don't bother you with the partitions at all other than 'next to windows' 'replace windows' etc etc
[00:30] <JamesJRH> Guest46279: Check if they have .mp3 file extension.
[00:30] <edbian> Guest46279: Do the files end in .mp3 ?  Windows freaks if you don't have the extension
[00:30]  * edbian more verbose for the loss
[00:30] <JamesJRH> Guest46279: Linux doesn't always seem to need file extensions.
[00:30] <Guest46279> edbian: haha thanks
[00:30] <Guest46279> yeah they were without the extension in the name
[00:31] <edbian> JamesJRH: It uses the magically file command instead
[00:31] <edbian> Guest46279: That's the problem.
[00:31] <Guest46279> edbian: is there any way to add .mp3 to the file names of all my songs without doing it one by one?
[00:31] <edbian> Guest46279: There are handy apps for it.  Or you could do  mv * *.mp3   in that folder
[00:32] <edbian> Guest46279: Just tested my bash bit there.  Doesn't actually work!
[00:32] <edbian> ha
[00:32] <Guest46279> haha
[00:32] <chaddy> for i in, etch
[00:32] <chaddy> etc*
[00:32] <cryptodira> anyone know why x-screensaver (when invoked) displays the the chosen module... while rapidly flashing??  10.10 amd/64
[00:33] <edbian> chaddy: probably
[00:33] <protoss_Z> hey
[00:33] <lolmatic> how do i get gnome 3 on current ubuntu?
[00:33] <edbian> Guest46279: for i in `ls`; do; mv $i $i.mp3; done;
[00:34] <protoss_Z> can any of you sugeest me a mildly challenging open source project to start hacking on? I'm going into second year of college and have a decent command of C, Java and Python
[00:34] <cogitorn> protoss_Z: nmap
[00:35] <JamesJRH> edbian: Apparently ls output should not be parsed.
[00:35] <robin0800> protoss_Z, rockbox.org?
[00:35] <edbian> JamesJRH: why?
[00:35] <Guest46279> edbian: thanks for the help
[00:35] <edbian> Guest46279: sure
[00:35] <Corey> edbian: You can get into trouble with wildcarding.
[00:35] <Corey> edbian: You want to use echo or find for that.
[00:36] <qin> protoss_Z: soucreforge.org have plenty of open project, and nem hands would be helpful.
[00:37] <JamesJRH> edbian: IIRC, It doesn't work on all files due to formatting. I was on #bash when someone mentioned it.
[00:37] <edbian> JamesJRH: I never know that!
[00:37] <sarkis> hey guys, where can I get some good info on screen?
[00:37] <Jordan_U> edbian: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashPitfalls#for_i_in_.24.28ls_.2A.mp3.29
[00:37] <edbian> Corey: thank you
[00:37] <sarkis> also, should i be using byobu over screen?
[00:37] <qin> sarkis: No! Use tmux
[00:37] <protoss_Z> anyone have other suggestions?
[00:37] <protoss_Z> sourceforge.net is intimidating
[00:38] <qin> protoss_Z: Why?
[00:38] <tensorpudding> protoss_Z: github is a better place to hack
[00:38] <protoss_Z> way too many choices. I need to narrow them down to manageable and somewhat challenging projects
[00:39] <robin0800> protoss_Z: rockbox opr

[00:41] <Spynxic> I'm about to attempt to install a dual boot between Windows and Linux, theres the option "Install Ubuntu alongside Windows 7" that I know will create a booter that lets me choose between which OS to start but that option doesn't allow me to customize the partition size
[00:42] <Spynxic> There is also the option "Something else" which makes everything customizable but I'm not sure if it will create the booter that allows me to choose between linux or windows
[00:42] <robin0800> Spynxic: yes it will
[00:42] <GSF1200S> anyone with an idea of how to fix the 30-second opening of thunar on 11.04?
[00:44] <lduros> hello, I have a big tv screen and when linux boots up with it, it doesn't display anything, because it tries to show a too big screen display
[00:44] <cryptodira> anyone know why x-screensaver (when invoked) displays the the chosen module... while rapidly flashing??  10.10 amd/64
[00:44] <lduros> is there a way to reduce this screen display size automatically? preferably with keys? :-\ I can't see what's going on
[00:45] <pooltable> help config the emu for pce so i can get my PS2 contoller to work?
[00:45] <Jordan_U> JamesJRH: Can you pastebin the output of "mount" and "pgrep fsck"? Exactly those commands, nothing more and nothing less.
[00:45] <JamesJRH> Any ideas with my partition problem? Can I start the LiveCD so that it doesn't even touch /dev/sda2 because that causes all other utils to block or say it's busy at best.
[00:45] <Spynxic> robin0800: I clicked the "Something else" option which shows me 3 partition in my hdd called sda1 sda2 sda3, all are ntfs. Where do I make a new partition for ubuntu?
[00:46] <mgj> lduros, dont know if there is a keyboard shortcut, but could you not connect the PC to a monitor (supporting the resolution), and then setup the resolution to be that of the TV ?
[00:46] <sec_goat> what would be the best way to get python 3.x installed and used for programmign instead of 2.x? I know a lot of ubuntu still runs on 2.x so I don;t want otget rid of it just wan tto rogram using 3
[00:46] <sec_goat> also please excuse my horrible typing
[00:47] <lduros> mgj: but won't it come back to the max resolution to the tv? I thought I had done that once already
[00:47] <JamesJRH> Jordan_U: Ok. pgrep fsck has no output, mount...
[00:47] <robin0800> Spynxic: it would be best to delete one and then create linux in its place
[00:48] <mgj> lduros, it shouldnt. It should maintain the resolution you set. But hmm.... it might. Stupid auto-detecting-resolution-algorithm which never works for TV's =/
[00:48] <lduros> mgj: hmmm
[00:48] <mgj> but that doesnt work in windows either, so i guess i cannot complain TOO much
[00:48] <pooltable> help set Mednafen.  to use my PS2 controller ???
[00:48] <JamesJRH> Jordan_U: mount http://paste.ubuntu.com/630593/
[00:49] <mgj> lduros, perhaps you could be ghetto, and SSH to the PC, and setting the resolution that way?
[00:49] <pooltable> help set Mednafen up a easy bash file to run it ?
[00:49] <lolmatic> how do i get gnome 3 on current ubuntu?
[00:49] <rww> !gnome3 | lolmatic
[00:49] <lolmatic> :(
[00:49] <lduros> mgj: sure, I could probably do that, what would I do through ssh for this? :-) is there a config file I can change?
[00:50] <mgj> ":(" means you are a wuss
[00:50] <mgj> real men use unstable software =)
[00:50] <robin0800> lolmatic: from a ppa but it will brake unity
[00:50] <lolmatic> well
[00:50] <lolmatic> does it break gnome 2? or can it be used parallel
[00:50] <pooltable> like any one like unity
[00:50] <rww> lolmatic: yes, it breaks GNOME 2.
[00:50] <lduros> I just chrooted in the ubuntu partition, let me know what I  can do to fix the resolution ;-)
[00:50] <keyboardtalk> I cannot access my printer on ubuntu from other (windows) computers on network. How can I fix this?
[00:51] <Spynxic> robin0800: sda1 is Windows Recovery Environment (loader), sda2 is Windows 7 (loader), sda3 has no label and it's the largest (986.1 gb). I assume it's the one I'm modifying, right?
[00:51] <mgj> lduros, probably. I would use the 'xrandr' command. But ubuntu desktop doesnt come with a ssh server installed by default, you would need to install the 'openssh-server' package first
[00:51] <mgj> lduros, but using 'xrandr' isnt really a permanent solution.... hmm.... At least it would allow you to see what is happening, and then use the GUI tools to set the resolution permanently
[00:52] <lduros> mgj: I'm using the rescue mode from the ubuntu alternate install cd
[00:52] <lduros> mgj: and chrooted into the ubuntu partition
[00:52] <lduros> mgj: I can install ssh from there
[00:52] <robin0800> Spynxic: check what is on it first but yes you could use that
[00:52] <lduros> mgj: or I could edit a config file with vim but I don't know which it would be for ubuntu hehe :-)
[00:53] <Gaming4JC> Hey guys, I just setup a limited user account, but the user cannot save stuff from programs to his homefolder. Keeps giving permission errors... how much and/or what kind of setting should I give him so he can not write up, but still r/w from his own user
[00:53] <mgj> lduros, for ubuntu, i have no idea. For any other distro it would be /etc/X11/Xorg.conf , but ubuntu is a bit strange
[00:53] <lduros> hehe
[00:53] <robin0800> Spynxic: stop I think that might be windows 7
[00:54] <lduros> mgj: what I could do, is do something like: xrandr -s 800x600  -- and put that to execute at startup
[00:55] <Spynxic> robin0800: Thanks for the help, I'm going to search for a tutorial to ensure I don't mess anything up lol
[00:55] <JamesJRH> Can I start the LiveCD so that it doesn't touch /dev/sda2? Any options in the F6 boot menu?
[00:55] <mgj> lduros, sure, might work. But hmm, think that would require X to already be running? Not sure, worth a try :)
[00:55] <Spynxic> robin0800: I wish I could use the automatic installer but it doesn't offer the option to resize the ubuntu partition
[00:56] <lduros> mgj: isn't there a way to use it after x has started?
[00:56] <qin> Gaming4JC: What is purpose of it, internet cafe?
[00:56] <keyboardtalk> I have HP printer w/CUPS on ubuntu server 10.04, I cannot access the printer from other computers on network. Any help is appreciated
[00:56] <Dougie187> Can anyone tell me where encryption passwords and keyrings stores it's data?
[00:56] <pooltable> help set Mednafen.  to use my PS2 controller ???
[00:56] <mgj> lduros, i believe ~/.xinitrc is used to specify commands to execute when X starts. But im not quite sure if you can make those commands execute AFTER X is started, or if they always execute before
[00:57] <Gaming4JC> qin: game server actually. I set up a limited user account for the guy to manage his game, but I don't want him owning the whole box :P
[00:57] <lduros> mgj: hmmm I can try
[00:57] <lduros> :-P
[00:57] <Dougie187> I guess it's called passwords and encryption keys.
[00:57] <mgj> have fun :)
[00:57] <lduros> mgj: thanks for your help! ;-)
[00:57] <mgj> Not really much help i could give you im afraid, but np
[00:59]  * Gaming4JC chmods some things :)
[00:59] <qin> Gaming4JC: Well, for server you can make jailshell, or just remove user from admin group so he cannot sudo, also (dirty way) you can monitor his home for file changes and revert it, if to large file or with no reason.
[01:00] <Gaming4JC> qin: ok :)
[01:02] <qin> Gaming4JC: Easy is to make username:root ownership combo for his /home, or better username:nobody
[01:02] <mgj> lduros, wait, im wrong
[01:03] <mgj> lduros, ~/.xinitrc is NOT called when x starts, as it is GDM that starts X, not your user
[01:03] <mgj> Could still try it, but i dont think it would work
[01:03] <lduros> mgj: for some super odd reason it found the right resolution right away when i started it this time
[01:04] <qin> Gaming4JC: And some commands (which you do not want him to run) just chmod down for others, but remember to add yourself to root.
[01:04] <lduros> didn't try anything
[01:04] <mgj> lduros, wow, the auto-detection actually worked? Amazing
[01:04] <Gaming4JC> qin: ok
[01:04] <mgj> thats great!
[01:04] <lduros> hehe
[01:05] <mgj> lduros, Can i guess? You booted the PC with the TV already connected this time. You didnt before, you connected the TV after the PC was booted
[01:05] <sLaeYa> is there any way to use eth0 for all incoming/outgoing except port 21 and wlan0 for port 21 ?
[01:06] <mgj> sLaeYa, i think iptables might be able to do that for you
[01:06] <qin> sLaeYa: listen on ftp, ftp config
[01:07] <lafon> umm my computer just got to grub with error ">grub-restore" cannot find "somefile"
[01:07] <mgj> That only covers the specific ftp application tho :)
[01:07] <sLaeYa> qin, thanks, that wont affect any local network though will it ?
[01:08] <Jordan_U> lafon: Please bootfrom a liveCD, run boot info script, and pastebin the RESULTS.txt.
[01:08] <sLaeYa> I have a local netwrok (which ubuntu rus as server on) I want to only have access to internet on ubuntu server via wireless and only for ftp
[01:08] <Jordan_U> !bootinfo | lafon
[01:09] <lafon> huh... it just booted up normally and checked the disk.
[01:09] <lafon> is at 70%
[01:09] <MK``> and, whenever I reboot/log out and back in, the theme I have selected is randomly not applied to my gnome panel, it uses the default (ugly) GTK+ theme. Any idea what could be causing this? It doesn't seem to be related to me changing panel settings. Once the default theme is there, logging out and back in won't restore it, only a reboot will (sometimes)

[01:09] <qin> sLaeYa: You can set ftpd to listen on ip:port, with dhcp it looks more tricky, but you are on premanent lan anyway. Rest belong to firewall, if you feel need.
[01:10] <Jordan_U> lafon: After getting the "rescue>" prompt you rebooted?
[01:10] <lafon> yup
[01:10] <john_rambo>  Hi, I am using Geforce 9500 GT || Ubuntu 11.04 || 2 Monitors are connected to thr card 1 via dvi & the 2nd using vga cable ....Cant see any display on the CRT (VGA)

[01:11] <lafon> its working as normal again
[01:12] <lafon> and thats the 2nd time this problem happened
[01:12] <Jordan_U> lafon: Please run boot info script anyway then (you can run it from the booted system, no need for a liveCD).
[01:12] <john_rambo> bazhang, I am using the proprietary nvidia driver .....xrandr ? dunno
[01:13] <lafon> ok give me a couple of min
[01:13] <bazhang> !xrandr | john_rambo this may help
[01:13] <qin> sLaeYa: also there is bind command, or binding method via bind.so (good for clients)
[01:14] <john_rambo> bazhang, Trying ...BRB
[01:14] <sLaeYa> qin, thankyou will look into that
[01:14] <qin> sLaeYa: Firewall on private lan (protected by router) is not really that important.

[01:15] <billybigrigger__> no, just plain jane repos im using
[01:15] <sLaeYa> private lan isn't my issue at all.  cisco firewall will deal with that.  It is just managing the wlan0 to handle any outgoing ftp transactions from ubuntu
[01:15] <bazhang> billybigrigger__, there are no plain jane repos for that
[01:15] <billybigrigger__> for what?
[01:16] <babalu> could someone help me plz

[01:24] <FlashSmith> Hello everyone
[01:24] <FlashSmith> I tried installing something to ubuntu, but at the Ubuntu Software Center is said: libnspr4-0d (>= 4.7.1)
[01:25] <FlashSmith> What does that mean?
[01:25] <qin> jstoone: Really?
[01:26] <jstoone> qin: are you being ironic ? ;) I'm not good with permissions and ownership :S
[01:27] <FlashSmith> Anybody?
[01:28] <alnr> i'm running 11.04 and firefox4.0.1, i cant seem to get rid of the error 'adobe flash plugin has crashed'. I've tried flash-aid. is this a known issue?
[01:28] <jstoone> FlashSmith: that you'r libnspr4-0d has to be greater than or equals version 4.7.1 - not use
[01:28] <JamesJRH> FlashSmith: Try updating.
[01:28] <jstoone> FlashSmith: sure.
[01:28] <FlashSmith> updating? What does libnspr4-0d even mean? Sorry I'm new to this
[01:29] <qin> jstoone: Not, just sheer surprise, ok, can you give one line from ls -l in your web directory?
[01:29] <johnnee> i hope someone can help me.. my 10.10 is no longer booting since i performed an automatic update 3 mths ago. Nothing i tried alone or with expert help has helped so far. Can someone pls help me? im using the live cd now to chat here and i can see/mount the install.
[01:29] <JamesJRH> FlashSmith: It's a library. The thing your installing depends on it.
[01:30] <FlashSmith> How would I update that? I just tried installing chrome?
[01:30] <JamesJRH> FlashSmith: But it may depend on a newer version of it, so try updating.
[01:30] <jstoone> qin: sure!
[01:31] <JamesJRH> FlashSmith: Update Manager.

[01:40] <jstoone> qin: Thank you very much mate (:
[01:40] <qin> jstoone: Better do: man chmod, man chown

[01:41] <bricas> Jordan_U: i cut it short after about 10-15 seconds. seems like an infinite loop to me.
[01:41] <Jordan_U> bricas: Can you pastebin the output of "mountpoint /media/goflex/Music/"?
[01:41] <bricas> Jordan_U: no error per-se.

[01:44] <Monotoko> hey guys...anyone here know how to deal with a postfix "relay access denied" message?
[01:44] <[FKU]Greycloak> so...I upgraded ubuntu from 9.10 to 10.04 and then to 10.10. Everything worked fine. Now I'm trying to upgrade to 11.04 and I keep getting a partial upgrade message.
[01:45] <donkeyinspace> hello , im using a ubuntu live usb pen. how do i turn off unity , anyone know?
[01:45] <Monotoko> donkeyinspace, log out and log back in again under the "classic" desktop
[01:45] <mrapple> just started up UFW, and trying to block an ip. ufw status http://pastebin.com/89P1bsq4
[01:45] <mrapple> <IP_ADDRESS> can still connect to my server
[01:46] <Monotoko> mrapple: iptables -A INPUT -s <IP_ADDRESS> -p tcp -j DROP
[01:47] <Monotoko> should stop them in there tracks :)
[01:47] <iaindalton> I'm trying to create an upstart script. I have it start on filesystem, but not all the files from an NFS share are mounted, so I have to sleep in a loop until they exist. Is there a better way?
[01:47] <mrapple> Monotoko: ok, but why isnt ufw working?
[01:47] <mrapple> and someone told me they use 'block ip reason'?
[01:47] <Monotoko> mrapple, I don't use it...I prefer commmand line
[01:47] <mrapple> im using the command line
[01:47] <Monotoko> 'block ip reason'?
[01:48] <mrapple> like typing 'block <ip> <reason>' into the command line
[01:48] <mrapple> probably a custom thing eh
[01:48] <Monotoko> mrapple, not sure...iptables is a lot more effective
[01:48] <Jordan_U> [FKU]Greycloak: How are you trying to upgrade? What is the exact error message you see?
[01:48] <jimi_> When I create a bootable usb per the instructions on the website, i get "can not find kernel image vesamenu.c32"   am i doing something wrong? or is this a bad iso?
[01:48] <mrapple> so should i disable ufw?
[01:48] <qin> mrapple: What service is it?
[01:48] <mrapple> and lets say i want to delete that rule...
[01:49] <mrapple> qin: they can still ping/ssh
[01:49] <qin> mrapple: install fail2ban
[01:49] <[FKU]Greycloak> Jordan_U, through update manager. Give me a moment and i'll replicate the error
[01:49] <donkeyinspace> Monotoko , im using an ubuntu live in an usb pen
[01:49] <Spynxic> When you manually install ubuntu, according to most tutorials I've read, you delete the partition you're going to install on but the partition i'm using is the place where everything I have is stored, by deleting it wouldn't I be deleting all my documents and programs as well?
[01:49] <Monotoko> donkeyinspace, doesn't mean you can't log out?
[01:49] <sarkis> hey guys when i installed this .otf font where does ubuntu put that?
[01:50] <sarkis> i want to uninstall it
[01:50] <mrapple> qin: ok, why?
[01:50] <sarkis> i opened a .otf file and clicked install
[01:50] <mrapple> and at first i thought that was an insult, but apt-get tells me its not
[01:50] <donkeyinspace> Monotoko , i can t log out
[01:50] <[FKU]Greycloak> as soon as i open update mgr it tells me that not all updates can be installed, and offers a partial upgrade
[01:51] <Monotoko> donkeyinspace, why not? Just hit the button on the top right and hit "log out"
[01:51] <qin> mrapple: That will ban host after number of failed attempts, neat way to reduce junk-traffic.
[01:51] <qin> mrapple: even better, change ssh listening port.
[01:51] <bfh198> uh stupid question which one is linux ? bash or batch , i just keep forgetting
[01:51] <mrapple> qin: ok, cool, but thats not what im worried about
[01:51] <bricas> Jordan_U: fyi, i've been mounting it via fstab, not that it would matter, necessarily?
[01:51] <keyboardtalk> How do you share a [CUPS] printer via command line?
[01:52] <donkeyinspace> Monotoko , there are no users in an ubuntu live cd or usb
[01:52] <qin> mrapple: Then what?
[01:52] <mrapple> qin: im curious how i would remove the rule 'iptables -A INPUT -s <IP_ADDRESS> -p tcp -j DROP'
[01:53] <qin> mrapple: Overwrite it with ACCEPT
[01:53] <mrapple> can i just delete it?
[01:53] <sarkis> hey guys where do .otf files get installed to in ubuntu? i want to uninstall a font i installed by double clickign an otf file and hitting install
[01:54] <mrapple> ah iptables -D
[01:54] <Monotoko> donkeyinspace...add a user?
[01:56] <keyboardtalk> How do I share a cups printer?
[01:56] <mrapple> Monotoko: the user from ip <IP_ADDRESS> can still ping my server after running the command you sent me

[02:03] <Chilaquiles> p_res: what should I do?
[02:04] <JAWC> mrapple, you might need to delete that rule, and insert it before any rules that allow what you're trying to block.
[02:04] <donkeyinspace> lafon , thanks , going to restart and see if it work
[02:04] <Chilaquiles> p_res: did you see the output?
[02:04] <p_res> Chilaquiles: nope

[02:07] <kermit69> how can I add shortcuts to unity side panel please
[02:07] <qin> Gaming4JC: Ok, step back, what did you change? and does mysql restart did anything? local or remote access?
[02:07] <wildbat> Stingray88: chown / chmod
[02:07] <chaddy> kermit69: drag them there
[02:07] <p_res> kermit69: drag icon to it
[02:07] <kermit69> i mean a link to a ttxt doc, it wont stick
[02:08] <p_res> kermit69: only add launchers i think
[02:08] <Gaming4JC> qin: Well, I made the user a desktop user straight from Users and Groups. I was going through advanced settings there but opted to just let him be desktop user.
[02:08] <wildbat> Stingray88: like ~     chown -R $USER:$USER /media/TheDisk
[02:08] <Gaming4JC> qin: Once I did that a chmodded some of his directories back to his ownership, then rebooted the server. MySQL updated but was working fine prior to that
[02:09] <Gaming4JC> me thinks update caused a ghost bug, google reports the same
[02:09] <kermit69> so I make launcher to open specific file with say gedit then drag it there?
[02:09] <chaddy> sounds good, kermit69
[02:09] <utente> ciaoo a tuttii
[02:09] <p_res> kermit69: no, i don't think that will stick
[02:09] <kermit69> thx
[02:10] <p_res> kermit69: gedit launcher should stick, but not a created document
[02:10] <Gaming4JC> qin: This fixed it for me. http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?s=b378b688c10198dc6b4016e1a19ad0f8&p=4799712&postcount=48 :)
[02:10] <Gaming4JC> testing as normal user now.
[02:11] <qin> Gaming4JC: Neat.
[02:11] <BrianMBI> is there an upgrade here lately for Unity killing the -y of sudo apt-get install -y
[02:11] <BrianMBI> ?
[02:12] <Stingray88> so what kind of benefit does ubuntu get by default a newly formatted drive to be owned by the root
[02:12] <BrianMBI> something about a --force
[02:12] <Stingray88> that makes no sense
[02:12] <Stingray88> I formatted it, obviously I want to use it
[02:12] <kermit69> thx got it working
[02:12] <p_res> kermit69: what, the doc or launcher?
[02:12] <qin> Stingray88: How did you format it?
[02:12] <Stingray88> gparted
[02:13] <Chilaquiles> p_res: It worked! nice, thanks a lot!
[02:13] <keyboardtalk> How do I access a shared printer from Windows?
[02:13] <kermit69> the launcher opens the doc, and is now on the side panel
[02:13] <chaddy> good stuff, kermit69
[02:13] <glassresistor> the errors dd is giving me is like UNC and BDMA or something like that, had to lose the log, could two tb drives be of differnt size or could the cache size be a problem
[02:13] <p_res> Chilaquiles: no probs. glad you got it sorted. ;-)
[02:13] <p_res> kermit69: great!
[02:14] <johnnee> i hope someone can help me repair/restore my 10.10 install which is no longer booting since i performed an automatic update 3 mths ago. Nothing i tried alone or with expert forum help has helped so far.  im using the live cd now to chat here and i can see/mount the install. Can someone pls help me?
[02:14] <devral> i keep getting a segmentation fault error when running 'screen' -- how can i fix this?
[02:14] <Chilaquiles> p_res: although I see that now I don´t have any swap assigned to ubuntu, I had it before I installed debian, and I see I have the space reserved (it says swap space) but when I run top it says 0bytes. Do you know how to fix that?
[02:15] <robinsch> hi
[02:15] <Chilaquiles> devral: have you tried reinstalling the app?
[02:15] <p_res> Chilaquiles: debian and ubuntu should both share the same swap
[02:15] <Gaming4JC> qin: odd. The above page does fix it, but upon system reboot it fails again. Dunno what would be causing that.
[02:15] <robinsch> I need help with a startup script in /etc/init.d
[02:16] <lafon> johnee, is there any error or anything showing up when you boot?
[02:16] <NFischer> Hi everybody!!!! can anyone tell me how i can grep to a certain line ? for example: i want to grep from line containing "Summer" till line "Summer ends".. how can i do that?
[02:16] <Chilaquiles> p_res: well, I thought they had to have their own, so I created 2 swaps, but ubuntu isn't using any of them
[02:16] <robinsch> the config file is stored in a encrypted drive that is needed to run the program started in the init script
[02:16] <Spynxic> I'm partitioning my drive to install ubuntu 11.04 to dual boot with win 7. The partition I'd like to partition again to install ubuntu on has all my documents and programs on it. How can I avoid deleting all my documents and still partition it for ubuntu
[02:16] <p_res> Chilaquiles: only need one swap per system
[02:16] <robinsch> my home directory
[02:17] <p_res> Chilaquiles: regardless of how many linux system you have installed
[02:17] <robinsch> but the script has root owner and executable bits set
[02:17] <Blue1> Spynxic: use a different partition.
[02:17] <Chilaquiles> p_res: And do you think thats why Ubuntu is not getting that swap?
[02:17] <robinsch> I even the suid
[02:17] <utente_> ciaoooa tuttii
[02:17] <Stingray88> how do I take ownership of this USB drive from root
[02:18] <Chilaquiles> p_res: So are you saying Ubuntu doesn´t know what swap to take and doesn't take any?
[02:18] <p_res> Chilaquiles: just delete the non-used swap
[02:18] <lafon> jhonnee, use the public chat
[02:18] <lafon> johnnee*
[02:18] <Chilaquiles> p_res: Ok I will do that
[02:18] <robinsch> I am not sure if I have to move the config file out of the encrypted directory for the script to work?
[02:18] <Blue1> Stingray88: you would need to dismount it, and remount it - but those are sudo functions
[02:19] <utente_> !list
[02:19] <Stingray88> I don't know how to do that
[02:19] <Blue1> Stingray88: so for example if you did sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt -- once it is mounted you could just cd /mnt and accesss it -- to unmount -- sudo umount /dev/sdb1 (for example)
[02:20] <sarkis> hey guys how do i restart X after i modify ~/.fonts.conf?
[02:20] <sarkis> im trying to making my fonts look nicer in ubuntu
[02:20] <Blue1> sarkis: sudo service gdm restart
[02:20] <Stingray88> so wait
[02:20] <sarkis> http://superuser.com/questions/8824/bad-font-anti-aliasing-in-ubuntu
[02:20] <Stingray88> when I unmount it I can't see it anymore
[02:20] <johnnee> lafon: check PM pls
[02:20] <sarkis> i found that.. do you guys do anything with your .fonts.conf to make the anti aliasing look nicer?
[02:23] <Chilaquiles> p_res: Do you know if I can make that swap to be part of my ubuntu system?
[02:24] <chaddy> Chilaquiles: you may want "swapon"
[02:24] <devral> Chilaquiles: yes, i did an apt-get install --reinstall screen but it did not help
[02:24] <johnnee> my install is with windows XP.. when i try booting the laptop, i do get the list of options except the countdown timer is absent,  and windows works fine. But whenever i select any of the ubuntu entries i get all the way to the splash screen and as that's where the real problem starts.
[02:24] <lafon> so what's the problem
[02:24] <robinsch> solution: use virtualbox
[02:24] <chaddy> devral: did you try aptitude remove --purge screen? will get shot of any (bad) config files
[02:25] <sarkis> have you guys tried autohint via .fonts.conf?
[02:25] <Feadin> hey anyone using ubuntu server? Just did an apt-get update && apt-get upgrade and it wants to upgrade language-pack-en which now suddenly has LOTS of crazy dependencies, including firefox and many X libs... anyone noticed this?
[02:25] <robinsch> just use windows nt
[02:25] <bazhang> robinsch, pardom?
[02:26] <robinsch> you can use vms
[02:26] <bazhang> -m +n
[02:26] <devral> chaddy: doing so asks if i wish to remove the ubuntu-desktop package :|
[02:26] <johnnee> my user name comes up but i have no field for the password and wehn i click my name it switches to ubuntu 10.10 and vice versa..
[02:26] <Chilaquiles> devral: Have you tried after you restart your ubuntu? Thay problem has to do with accessing an area of memory that doesn't exist or its only for system use.
[02:26] <chaddy> devral: you probably don't ;)
[02:26] <bazhang> devral, thats safe to remove its a metapackage
[02:26] <frank_> hello - first time on this
[02:26] <bazhang> !metapackage | devral

[02:27] <Feadin> I forgot to say I'm using v11.04
[02:27] <linus_> @jose just ask your question
[02:27] <bazhang> Feadin, you may also ask in #ubuntu-server if you dont get a timely response here
[02:27] <johnnee> i don't have a field for the password, are you saying that will make it appear??
[02:27] <robinsch> no one is helping me :(
[02:28] <bazhang> robinsch, with what
[02:28] <lafon> no it'll bring up the cli
[02:28] <Gaming4JC> Anyone know why " sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start" works, but upon reboot I get "ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)" when I type "mysql"... ? :S
[02:28] <Gaming4JC> happened after some dumb mysql update *sigh*
[02:28] <Gaming4JC> need this fixed ASAP
[02:28] <Jose> OK, I'm having a problem that seems to be common, but I still can't find a solution to it
[02:28] <keyboardtalk> How does one access a shared printer (CUPS) hosted on ubuntu server 10.04 from Windows client?
[02:28] <GermainA> will ubuntu come with bitcoin built in?
[02:28] <robinsch> I am trying to autostart rtorrent (has executable bit and root privlages) but it won't read my settings because .rtorrent.rc is in my encrypted home directory
[02:28] <Jose> Hold on, brb
[02:29] <utente_> #ubuntu guard bot
[02:29] <Chilaquiles> chaddy: swapon: cannot find the device for UUID=17d748af-9906-42f6-897d-6141b3e3cf3f
[02:29] <robinsch> i am using /etc/init.d script
[02:29] <Gaming4JC> GermainA: doubtful, but you can install bitcoin via http://deb.tuxsoul.com  xP
[02:29] <Jose> OK, back
[02:29] <johnnee> also it might help to tell you that since that issue started, upon reboot, my computer displays an error mssg before booting any choice i make: "error: no argument specified"..
[02:29] <robinsch> the service starts but loads without my settings
[02:29]  * Gaming4JC tries to understand why mysql is NOT working >_<
[02:30] <chaddy> Chilaquiles: new to me, sorry
[02:30] <chaddy> very late, too, should be in bed ;)
[02:30] <izinucs> How do I put my computer to sleep via command line?
[02:30] <robinsch> see no one wants to help me :(
[02:30] <lafon> johnnee: follow the post here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and paste the result in pastebin
[02:30] <pappa_bear_> google
[02:30] <lafon> might show you whats wrong
[02:31] <devral> chaddy: i did an apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop and byobu (the --purge said those 2 were broken), but now it shows ubuntu-desktop: Depends: screen but it is not installable
[02:31] <bazhang> !google | pappa_bear_
[02:31] <johnnee> and when i get to the login screen, i can't click on anything  except the UAP.. i can't even click the shutdown option icon and select shutdown or restart.. i have to manually press the power button.

[02:31] <bazhang> robinsch, be patient, could be no one knows the answer

[02:32] <bazhang> robinsch, using rtorrent and an encrypted directory you said
[02:32] <linus_> @jose are you using qjackctl?
[02:32] <robinsch> bazhang: yes
[02:32] <Guest14151> hi
[02:33] <bazhang> robinsch, certainly worth a try, I'm not using such a setup though so cannot say for certain

[02:39] <jrolland-ubuntu_> my new ubuntu install keeps failing to "wake up" from having it's screen locked
[02:39] <jrolland-ubuntu_> It only happens if I haven't used it in a couple of hours
[02:39] <jrolland-ubuntu_> It's an Acer desktop with Natty installed
[02:40] <jrolland-ubuntu_> I use it as a mail server so I **HATE** rebooting it
[02:40] <ohzie> jrolland-ubuntu_: tty screen locked?
[02:41] <robinsch> http://paste.ubuntu.com/630615/
[02:41] <jrolland-ubuntu_> No, it's a "desktop server": it's desktop Ubuntu, but I installed some server apps and made firewall exceptions
[02:41] <robinsch> the startup file
[02:41] <JoseP> Hello, can someone please help me with JACK Control?
[02:42] <robinsch> please tell me if anything is wrong with it
[02:42] <robinsch> any why it won't load with my configurations
[02:43] <wildgoose> JoseP, Ask your question.
[02:43] <JoseP> I'm having an issue setting up the sound server, or whatever it's called
[02:43] <JoseP> I'm putting a log up on PasteBin
[02:44] <jrolland-ubuntu_> Any guesses
[02:44] <JoseP> http://pastebin.com/nW0CwKLG
[02:44] <jrolland-ubuntu_> I really hate doing a hard shutdown - I'm afraid it won't start up again
[02:46] <JoseP> The question is, how could I set this up?
[02:46] <JoseP> I'm not able to create a startup DVD to put Ubuntu Studio on it...
[02:46] <qin> jrolland-ubuntu_: Can you check if it still have network connection?
[02:46] <qin> jrolland-ubuntu_: like ssh, or something
[02:47] <jrolland-ubuntu_> I already rebooted - I will try that from one of my other computers the next time it misbehaves
[02:47] <jrolland-ubuntu_> (I guess I should have talked to you guys the before rebooting :/)
[02:48] <qin> jrolland-ubuntu_: oh, what about having visit in /var/log/
[02:48] <jrolland-ubuntu_> I'll check
[02:48] <cntb> wow must say new terminal is a very nice surprise  /showing computer data communication OS data, very nice

[02:49] <acp_> hi I have already added 'options snd-hda-intel model=ideapad' in alsa-base.conf but still my internal mic in thinkpad edge 11 does not work any idea why?
[02:49] <jrolland-ubuntu_> I'm an idiot: at what should I look in /var/log/?
[02:49] <Spynxic> I found a post that said if you're unable to resize a partition with gparted then try defragging that drive and try again. True?
[02:50] <wildgoose> Spynxic, Worth a shot.
[02:50] <qin> jrolland-ubuntu_: syslog, messages, kern.log, Xorg.0.log, dmesg (with menu > system > admin.. > log viewer , is easier.)
[02:52] <qin> jrolland-ubuntu_: If you see error, or fail, or somethig repeats itself endlessly, you found it (also seg fault is a good hint)
[02:52] <jrolland-ubuntu_> ls
[02:52] <acp_> or do I need to update my kernel? Im using 2.6.32-32-generic ubuntu 10.04 amd64

[02:54] <jrolland-ubuntu_> That's a tail of /var/log/auth.log
[02:55] <jrolland-ubuntu_> Some things seem fishy
[02:55] <qin> Looks clean
[02:57] <jrolland-ubuntu_> http://pastebin.com/7EdThWij
[02:57] <qin> auth just show crontab activity and user elevation and logins

[03:00] <PythonPup> Howdy.  I found how to fix scroll bars in 11.04 to make them usable again.  Now, if I can find how to disable global menus, I'll be happy.  Any ideas?

I googled and only thing I found was to try "$sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove" but that didn't work... it's still going to the standard login

[03:56] <edbian> Lawlcat: Why didn't you install server edition in the first place?
[03:56] <Lawlcat> No particular reason
[03:56] <Lawlcat> :)
[03:56] <mistermcfisher> I'm having some trouble with grub, I have ubuntu 11.04 dual booted next to windows vista nd it says " Verifying DMI Pool Data......... error: symbol not found: 'grub_env_export'.  grub rescue>"
[03:56] <edbian> Lawlcat: server edition does not have a gui by default :)  (you could also uninstall gnome and gdm)
[03:57] <Lawlcat> Is there anyway I can just edit the grub entry? I need to hit E and type in acpi=off every time anyway to get the laptop to boot, might as well throw that in there as well
[03:57] <qin> Lawlcat: sudo vim /etc/default/grub
[03:57] <bazhang> Lawlcat, hold shift at boot to get grub menu
[03:58] <PythonPup> Lawlcat, edit /etc/default/grub
[03:58] <edbian> Lawlcat: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132
[03:58] <mistermcfisher> anyone have info?
[03:58] <Lawlcat> Actually, scratch that all anyway. It won't boot with it set to text. It's sitting at * Checking battery state.... [OK] and is just chillin. Seems I have to launch X on this thing
[03:58] <edbian> Lawlcat: uninstall the ubuntu-desktop package
[03:58] <bazhang> edbian, thats just a metapackage
[03:59] <edbian> bazhang: Won't it get rid of everything else as well?
[03:59] <mistermcfisher> anyone?
[03:59] <bazhang> edbian, nope
[03:59] <edbian> bazhang: oh
[03:59] <edbian>  :P
[03:59] <qin> Lawlcat: Right, removing slpash from kernel option is good idea
[03:59] <bazhang> mistermcfisher, patience
[04:01] <PythonPup> Is there any downside to removing   indicator-applet-appmenu, appmenu-gtk, and indicator-appmenu packages?  In a quick test, removing them make Unity much more pleasant, but I wonder about subtle effects I have not found yet.  I am thinking about putting that as a recommendation for Ubuntu users in an article I am writing..
[04:02] <bazhang> PythonPup, removing the global menu and such? probably not
[04:02] <bazhang> PythonPup, far less usable though
[04:02] <PythonPup> That is my goal.  To remove the global menu.
[04:02] <Roasted> Are you not able to DD an Ubuntu ISO to a flash drive? I did it in fedora without issue, but its failing on Ubuntu's ISO
[04:02] <bazhang> indicator-applet-appmenu is it then
[04:02] <bazhang> Roasted, use unetbootin
[04:02] <PythonPup> The desktop is so much easier to use and quicker without the global menu.
[04:03] <Roasted> bazhang, that wasn't my question...
[04:03] <mistermcfisher> bazhang, sorry, got the upgradee breathing down my neck just kinda nervous.
[04:03] <PythonPup> Are you saying I really just need to remove indicator-applet-appmenu?
[04:03] <bazhang> PythonPup, thats global menu
[04:04] <PythonPup> OK, thanks.  I'd rather not remove anything extra  Thank you.
[04:04] <bazhang> Roasted, no, use unetbootin
[04:04] <Roasted> bazhang, thanks, but I'll wait for somebody who answers my actual question.
[04:04] <bazhang> Roasted, I just did
[04:05] <Roasted> bazhang, you gave me an alternative to what I'm trying to do, but what you suggested is not answering my question. period. but thank you for trying to help.

[04:12] <Carolissbliss> Please helP!
[04:12] <PythonPup> Carolissbliss, rebooting should fix it.  Unity crashes every once in a while  It used to happen a lot, but is not very often for me now.

[04:12] <alex__> !repeat
[04:12] <Carolissbliss> it happens all the time, i cant reboot this often
[04:13] <Carolissbliss> how can i restart unity?
[04:13] <isk3ndar> unity as in unity3D?
[04:13] <Carolissbliss> PythonPup can i just restart the process?
[04:13] <PythonPup> Carolissbliss, I'd suggest you switch to Ubuntu Classic.  It is probably unstable video drivers.  Unity needs good 3d support.
[04:14] <Carolissbliss> I have the FGLRX drivers. They make the desktop laggy, but run games well. I bet thats the problem. but it happens in ubuntu classic to. How about "ubuntu classic (no effects)? PythonPup
[04:15] <Carolissbliss> but, using system monitor, is there a way to restart the process?
[04:15] <PythonPup> Carolissbliss, No simple fix I ever found would solve that problem.  When Natty was in Beta testing, mine crashed all the time and it was frustrating.  Ubuntu Classic(no effects) runs the desktop in 2d.  I would try that.
[04:15] <mistermcfisher> wildgoose, thanks but what do I do if I am live cd-less?  All I have right now is this computer that I'm on, the computer with the error, and a ubuntu 11.04 live cd
[04:15] <qin> Carolissbliss: Couple to try: compiz --replace , or: sudo service gdm resart (latter for whole xserver)
[04:16] <Carolissbliss> PythonPup, will do.
[04:16] <[FKU]Greycloak> was just going to suggest compiz --replace
[04:16] <Carolissbliss> qin, alrighty
[04:16] <qin> Was it right now sasl spam?
[04:16] <PythonPup> Let us know if it works, Carolissbliss
[04:16] <isk3ndar> good channel!
[04:17] <Carolissbliss> compiz --replace works

[04:26] <nbros652> qin: tried testdisk... it was useless. It couldn't find the old partition
[04:26] <PythonPup> bazhang, In case you are curious, I actually had to remove indicator-applet-appmenu and indicator-appmenu.  Removing the first one alone still left the global menu.
[04:27] <qin> nbros652: Why nD comes befor nb with TAB????
[04:28] <nbros652> qin: what?
[04:29] <qin> nbros652: Are the files you want to read named .doc
[04:29] <alex__> Why does this pop up when trying to sync my key?? Couldn't resolve address: keyserver.pgp.com
[04:29] <nbros652> qin: yeah... basically I just want to compose a text file with the recovered name followed by the first few lines of a file.
[04:30] <nbros652> qin: simple script if I can get the first few lines of the .doc file

[04:32] <nbros652> qin: but that doesn't actually read the text in the .doc file. That returns junk from an ascii read of the file.
[04:33] <bazhang> sasquatchzorin, thats not really an on topic question here, try #ubuntu-offtopic

[04:38] <Malwyn> Hi folks, odd issue I'm having with 11.04, if anyone's around?

[04:38] <wildgoose> !anyone | Malwyn
[04:39] <Malwyn> er, okay? I have an nvidia 7300 pci-e installed, and as far as I can tell, the official, proprietary driver is installed and running. My desktop is not compositing though.
[04:39] <Guest48707> is there a plugin for exporting pdf from libraoffice or is that outside of foss?
[04:39] <dlong> I am trying to connect a ubuntu 11.04 computer and a 10.04 box via wired connection and can't get them to talk.  The network cables are connected via a switch, their link lights are on, ethtool says link detected and the ip addresses are <IP_ADDRESS> and <IP_ADDRESS>, respectively.  iptables is off on both machines, yet they can't ping each other.  Any ideas to help?
[04:40] <PythonPup> nbros652, I don't know just what you are trying to accomplish.  a .doc file is a binary format.  If you are looking for certain text in the files, you could use unoconv to batch convert the files to text and then grep through the results.    On the <IP_ADDRESS> machine, open a terminal prompt and type   ping -c 4 <IP_ADDRESS>
[04:42] <nbros652> PythonPup: thanks. that may work. I just want to grab the first few lines out of each doc file and create a separate reference file because when I recovered the files the names got trashed. If I can make a reference file, I can look at the first few lines to find out what each doc file is about without having to open each one individually.
[04:42] <qin> nbros652: Try catdoc, if this wont do, there is few php based scripts, or some in development
[04:42] <Seven_Six_Two> Malwyn, if you issue    glxinfo | grep direct   does it say you're using direct rendering?
[04:42] <teal> Ubuntu 10.10 extended desktop extends each monitor, is this the proper chat to post this issue, tks

[04:45] <PythonPup> dlong, Don't be mysterious.  What is your router IP?
[04:45] <widewake> -- i can access setting when i am on youtube, however if i am on a website like TinyChat.com where it uses a camera and mic i cannot access,
[04:45] <Malwyn> I've tried classic and ubuntu, with the same result.

[04:49] <Seven_Six_Two> Malwyn, I experienced that earlier on today while trying to fix my xine issue. it has something to do with compiz I think. I kept getting errors about modules not loading. I couldn't move any windows, had no window decorations
[04:49] <dlong> PythonPup: there is no router.  these two boxes are just on the same subnet, that's it

[04:51] <Seven_Six_Two> teal, I'm not sure how it works with other cards' config utilities. what chipset? how did you configure it before? I have dualhead but I don't use xinerama because it clashes with compiz, I use twinview with absolute positioning
[04:51] <wero> to play movies look bad and even install codecs
[04:51] <wero> problem persists
[04:51] <wero> help
[04:51] <nbros652> qin: don't worry about testing. I should be good to go from here.
[04:52] <dlong> PythonPup: there is a route for eth0 at <IP_ADDRESS>/24.
[04:52] <hcook> ok, this is going to sound crazy. l have a dual boot machine which has always run great with win and ubuntu 10.04 and then 11.04. but i put 10.10 on recently, and it worked for a few minutes until i installed updates...then the network broke completely. i can configure static or dhcp, but my onboard gig-e nic won't even give a link light. and craziest of all, it no longer works in windows...
[04:52] <hcook> ...7!!! how could this be?
[04:52] <Malwyn> huh. so metacity was running, compiz wasn't. I tried compiz --replace, and now my screen is frozen.
[04:52] <Seven_Six_Two> hcook, maybe a change in bios, or your card failed? or a port on the router. try a different router port and a different cable or two
[04:53] <qin> Malwyn: Alt-Ctrl-F1 and login and: sudo service gdm restart
[04:53] <Seven_Six_Two> Malwyn, one monitor or two? have you created an xorg.conf for any reason?
[04:54] <Malwyn> one monitor. I'm SSHing in from another computer, doing most of this through that session.
[04:54] <qin> hcook: LiveCD?
[04:54] <Malwyn> I haven't touched xorg.conf, but a manual nvidia installation has.
[04:55] <dlong> PythonPup: any other ideas.  I am stumped
[04:55] <hcook> Seven_Six_Two: i've tried different router ports and cables. and the chance of my 6-month old onboard nic failing at the exact moment that my post-install (net-based!) updates finished seems remote.
[04:55] <jtreminio> How can I upgrade metacity to 2.34? Been trying to compile from source but I'm now stuck on "No package 'libcanberra-gtk' found" and I can't find the solution to this one :(
[04:55] <Seven_Six_Two> Malwyn, manual as in one was created by nvidia-settings?
[04:55] <Malwyn> Seven_Six_Two, yes.
[04:55] <izinucs> How do I put my computer to sleep via command line?  would it be sudo sleep now? kinda like sudo shutdown -P now?
[04:55] <hcook> qin: i installed from a livecd...but it worked after booting into 10.10 ...until i did updates
[04:55] <mistermcfisher> wildgoose, thanks but I'm still completely lost...
[04:55] <mistermcfisher> what is a UUID?
[04:56] <Seven_Six_Two> hcook, yes, that's unlikely
[04:56] <hcook> qin: the wild part is that now that nic doesnt work in windows either
[04:56] <qin> izinucs: sudo pm-suspend, or sudo pm-hibernate
[04:56] <izinucs> qin: cool.. thanks.. pm being powermanager?
[04:56] <qin> hcook: Died? Check in LiveCD. Is it laptop?
[04:57] <PythonPup> dlong, you probably don't have the nics setup right.  I am guessing, because you have not said much, that you setup static IP addresses.  You probably have the netmack or gateway wrong.  So, the NICs don't know how to communicate with other machines.
[04:57] <Seven_Six_Two> hcook, will it work if you run from livecd again? I can't explain why windows wouldn't work though. the only reasons I can think of are hw fail and bios.
[04:57] <teal> Seven_Six_Two. I am not sure what the chipset type is. Previously the desk top has been extended simply by clicking system/preferences/monitors/detect monitors/monitor on/rotation: normal/ show monitors in panel/apply.   Now  both monitors are extended, however 1/2 is out of view.  They appear as mirrored.
[04:57] <ilopez> hello?
[04:58] <qin> izinucs: I think of it as "Pause for Meal and reconsideration of my daily plans..."

[04:58] <ilopez> anyone?
[04:58] <qin> kevinyoung: Me
[04:58] <kevinyoung> could you invite me
[04:59] <PythonPup> No gateway at all.  How do you expect to talk to the world, dlong?

[05:00] <flowbee__> right after seeing : "Jun 19 14:17:46 BigArooni kernel: [1022455.780120] CPU0: Temperature/speed normal" ... my ubuntu 10.04 crashed.  current sensors output is: http://pastebin.com/EQdztyxB
[05:01] <dlong> Seven_Six_Two: I tried just using crossover cable, that didn't work either.  So I thought that putting the switch in the middle would help
[05:01] <kevinyoung> qin: the room has how many people?
[05:02] <alex__> Can anyone help me with Signing the Ubuntu code of conduct?
[05:02] <qin> kevinyoung: Ubuntu? 1422
[05:02] <Seven_Six_Two> dlong, I've used a crossover successfully. can I see your /etc/network/interfaces
[05:02] <kevinyoung> qin: hacker
[05:02] <kevinyoung> ?
[05:02] <qin> No idea
[05:02] <Seven_Six_Two> alex__, it's on launchpad I believe
[05:03] <Seven_Six_Two> dlong, and the output of ifconfig
[05:03] <deathblade99> join irc.esper.net
[05:03] <RenaKunisaki> fail.
[05:03] <deathblade99> ikr
[05:04] <qin> deathblade99: /connect ...
[05:04] <deathblade99> yeah i was used to icechat on windows :/
[05:04] <dlong> Seven_Six_Two: /etc/network/interfaces is not being used because of networkmanager
[05:04] <hcook> qin: shoot, sorry i didnt grab that lspci before rebooting to the livecd. its a realtek gig-e card onboard an asus intel board for an i7 proc. seems like real easy, compatible hardware. just checked out the bios and it's enabled and all...
[05:05] <kevinyoung> qin: do you have a facebook i have some question to ask you
[05:05] <wildgoose> yikes
[05:05] <bazhang> !ot | kevinyoung
[05:05] <dlong> Seven_Six_Two: http://pastebin.com/2dLwuTgz
[05:06] <RazupX> there is itnunes 10.5 for ubuntu?
[05:06] <qin> kevinyoung: /msg qin <question> (fb do not do well for me)
[05:06] <bazhang> RazupX, nope
[05:06] <kevinyoung> ubottu: oh yeah
[05:06] <alex__> Seven Six Two They do want me to download it, so i have to cd into the directory?
[05:07] <bazhang> kevinyoung, please chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic NOT here
[05:07] <qin> hcook: It sound like hardware failure.
[05:07] <Seven_Six_Two> alex__, unless you are explicit about the path to the text file, yes
[05:07] <dlong> Seven_Six_Two: http://pastebin.com/403E80ie
[05:07] <kevinyoung> bazhang: you a chinese?
[05:07] <bazhang> kevinyoung, please stop
[05:08] <Seven_Six_Two> dlong, now how about the output of route
[05:08] <hcook> qin: hmf. it booted back to the drive. the lspci shows it as "03:00.0 Ethernet Controller: RealTek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 03)"
[05:08] <qin> hcook: ifconfig ?
[05:09] <Guest56362> anyone else having trouble downloading updates for 11.04?
[05:09] <hcook> qin: you're saying the nic was fine, went and grabbed all the updates and immediately failed?
[05:09] <qin> hcook: This would indicate driver
[05:09] <RazupX> whats different between cd or dvd version ?
[05:09] <bazhang> Guest56362, earlier yes, tried changing server repos?
[05:10] <Seven_Six_Two> RazupX, the number of packages that can be installed without going to the internet
[05:11] <dlong> Seven_Six_Two: http://pastebin.com/TpxstaSV  -  You will notice some routes for my wireless and my VPN, but they are fine and I don't think they should be affecting my eth0
[05:11] <RazupX> seven_six_two : when i open wubi i can't choose my dvd ubuntu.. its just downloading a ubuntu cd version
[05:11] <bsmith093> going from gpodder to rhythmbox, how do i import my podcast feds
[05:11] <bsmith093> all at once
[05:11] <hcook> qin: ifconfig looks perfectly normal, just without an addr cause it's setup dhcp right now. if i put an addr on it it shows it. says "UP BROADCAST MULTICAST" w/ a bunch of zeros on the counters and reasonable values everywhere else
[05:11] <hcook> gonna try to boot into the cd again...
[05:12] <alex__> Seven Six Two Thanks for the help, got it to create a new file, but im guessing the new file is encrypted cause when i open it, it tells me no signatures are found, even though i have a valid Key
[05:13] <hcook> oh, found my MB model as well. asus p7h55 ...that'd be an intel h55 chipset
[05:13] <Seven_Six_Two> hcook, while it's dhcp, have you run  dhclient eth0
[05:13] <alex__> Seven Six Two WHen i try to open with verify signature, it still says it cannot open it
[05:13] <dlong> Seven_Six_Two: route for other box: http://pastebin.com/Bhtapmg7
[05:13] <hcook> Seven_Six_Two: no. i did disable/re-enable networking a few times, which i understood to run the client...
[05:14] <Seven_Six_Two> alex__, a previous error you posted mentioned a gpg-client or something. you have that installed?
[05:15] <Malwyn> hm. I can manually start unity, but it freezes.
[05:15] <alex__> Seven Six Two I installed Seahorse, which decrypts files, but i dont have the gpg-client, lemme check the software center
[05:16] <Seven_Six_Two> dlong, what kind of switch do you have? is anything else plugged in?
[05:16] <hcook> harrumf...network doesnt work in 10.10 livecd either
[05:17] <dlong> Seven_Six_Two: nothing else plugged in...just a linksys SLM2008 8 port switch
[05:17] <alex__> Seven Six Two Seems like i do have a gpg addon installed for thunderbird for emails
[05:20] <Seven_Six_Two> alex__, sudo apt-get install gnupg-agent
[05:20] <Seven_Six_Two> dlong, is there any config required for that switch?
[05:22] <dlong> dlong: possibly.  That is why I tried using the crossover cable first.  Tried regular cable too, because my understanding is that you don't have to have crossover cable for most modern nic cards
[05:22] <Seven_Six_Two> dlong, I don't know about that. I know some switches can detect...
[05:22] <dlong> Seven_Six_Two: possibly.  That is why I tried using the crossover cable first.  Tried regular cable too, because my understanding is that you don't have to have crossover cable for most modern nic cards
[05:23] <PythonPup> dlong, the gigabit standard says that ports must support MDI-X, or essentially automatic crossover as needed.  Many 10/100 cards do not support that feature.
[05:23] <alex__> Seven Six Two Let me Restart, even with that installed it wont decrypt the end of the message
[05:24] <teal> Seven_Six_Two. I am not sure what the chipset type is. Previously the desk top has been extended  by clicking system/preferences/monitors/detect monitors/monitor on/rotation: normal/ show monitors in panel/apply.   Now  both monitors are extended, however 1/2 is out of view.  Of what can be seen the two monitors appear as mirrored.
[05:24] <Seven_Six_Two> dlong, that switch defaults to <IP_ADDRESS>
[05:25] <dlong> Seven_Six_Two: I will take a look at the switch.  Thanks for your help
[05:25] <dlong> PythonPup: thanks for your help as well
[05:25] <Seven_Six_Two> teal, I'm sorry, I've never done it that way, and my menu is broken so I can't even try it. you can find your chipset by issuing lspci -v  at the command prompt.
[05:26] <Seven_Six_Two> dlong, http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/lanwan/lanwan-reviews/30226-linksys-slm2008-8-port-101001000-gigabit-smart-switch-review?showall=&start=1
[05:27] <PythonPup> Seven_Six_Two, Thanks.  I had not realized you could get the chipset that way.
[05:27] <anthony_alan> Hey, is there an easy way to make it so that pressing my middle mouse button and dragging will scroll using Ubuntu 11.04?
[05:27] <Seven_Six_Two> teal, there's another command too, I think it's  hwinfo     anyone to confirm?
[05:28] <dlong> Seven_Six_Two: awe, great link...thx
[05:28] <PythonPup> anthony, use the wheel to scroll.
[05:28] <Seven_Six_Two> dlong, np..hope it helps!
[05:29] <hcook> qin: Seven_Six_Two: doesnt work on 11.04 livecd either. dhclient eth0 gives me self assigned <IP_ADDRESS> with /16 netmask
[05:29] <anthony_alan> PythonPup: thanks, but that's not what I was asking :p
[05:29] <mascarijunior> ola
[05:30] <PythonPup> anthony_alan, Tell me more, then.  That is what it sounded like.
[05:30] <anthony_alan> the wheel is an inferior scrolling mechanism
[05:30] <PythonPup> anthony_alan, I agree.  I actually use a scrollpoint mouse.
[05:31] <gulzar> how to check if MONO package is installed or not?
[05:31] <arooni-mobile> i'm having trouble understanding: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PowerManagement/ReducedPower ... specifically how to install the power.d example script
[05:32] <anthony_alan> PythonPup: looks cool, never seen that type of mouse.  holding the scrollwheel down and pulling is supported in both Mac and Windows, I would assume that it'd be available for Ubuntu
[05:33] <Seven_Six_Two> wheel click and drag was available. not anymore. I don't know why
[05:33] <Seven_Six_Two> I'd be happy if ubuntu got multitouch on a synaptics touchpad like suse
[05:34] <DaZ> anthony_alan: opera has checkbox in options for that
[05:34] <alex__> Seven Six Two I can decrypt via terminal, but i cant seem to find a program to open it with, and when i paste what the terminal gives me, it says i have 1 error. lol
[05:35] <PythonPup> In mouse preferences, you can set drag click.  I don't understand what you want the wheel drag to do.
[05:35] <Seven_Six_Two> alex__, can you do the command again, but add     | tee output.txt    to the command, and pastebin that textfile?
[05:36] <gulzar> how to check if MONO package is installed or not?
[05:37] <Seven_Six_Two> PythonPup, if you push the wheel button (on some mice) in for example a long browser page, a circle appears with up and down arrows. move the cursor above the indicator and you scroll up, put the cursor below the indicator, and you scroll down
[05:38] <Seven_Six_Two> PythonPup, it's a lot easier than using a wheel over and over and over and over and over and over
[05:38] <arooni-mobile> after following http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installing_Ubuntu_11.04_on_a_ThinkPad_X201 ... it appears as though i can *only* log in via fingerprint reader.  can i set it up so its password *or* fingerprint reader?
[05:38] <Seven_Six_Two> gulzar, check in synaptic
[05:39] <gulzar> Seven_Six_Two: is there any command to do so?
[05:39] <OverTheHillAndFa> anyone have an idea how to take a 1920x1080 h264 .mp4 file and export every x' frame to a new video file?
[05:40] <OverTheHillAndFa> kind of make a timelapse film from a regular film
[05:40] <PythonPup> Seven_Six_Two, It sounds like it would interfere with the use of the wheel as the 3rd button.  I don't see any advantage, since I use a scrollpoint mouse.  You just push the scrollpoint as long as you want it to scroll.  But, most people don't use those mice.  I don't think they even sell them anymore.
[05:41] <alex__> Seven Six Two WHen i do that, it creates a txt file, but there is nothing inside of it
[05:41] <Seven_Six_Two> PythonPup, it doesn't interfere if that's how it's supposed to be mapped. programs like blender that use it don't have a problem
[05:41] <EpicCyndaquil> hello, is there a specific channel for Ubuntu 10.10?
[05:42] <Seven_Six_Two> alex__, ok, try running    script output.txt    and then run your commands
[05:42] <PythonPup> OverTheHillAndFa, mplayer has options for that, I am pretty sure.
[05:42] <izinucs> EpicCyndaquil: nope.. here's good
[05:42] <Seven_Six_Two> alex__, exit when you're done
[05:43] <gulzar> how to check if MONO package is installed or not? And How to PREVENT its installation?
[05:43] <OverTheHillAndFa> PythonPup: hm ok thank you
[05:44] <EpicCyndaquil> Alright, I threw LXDE on my Ubuntu install, and I want to remove Gnome. I've tried using the first command on this web page (http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekdemaverick.php), but it requires installation of packages that cannot be found. What should I do?
[05:44] <EpicCyndaquil> And yes, disk space is an issue.
[05:45] <gulzar>  EpicCyndaquil: I did similar think for replacing unity+gnome with XFCE.....but the system broke....and I have to install Xubuntu.....
[05:46] <EpicCyndaquil> I'm on 10.10 though, so there's no Unity. But why would it break the system?
[05:46] <mrdeb> 10.10 is good for you EpicCyndaquil ?
[05:47] <Malwyn> hey, just a followup to before, I managed to manually start compositing with the 2D-desktop-settings app.
[05:47] <EpicCyndaquil> Well, honestly, I don't feel like upgrading. I'm doing this on my cr-48, and I really don't want to deal with uninstalling all the extra bloat.
[05:47] <Malwyn> unity still freezes, but at least I have translucent terminals again.
[05:47] <ThePaRaDoX> mrdeb: when the full ver of 11.04 is released it will be available as an update?
[05:47] <mrdeb> EpicCyndaquil: stay on 10.10
[05:48] <gulzar>  EpicCyndaquil: might be beacuse to install DE we need only one command but to remove it a long list of commands is requried which is not much stable........
[05:48] <gulzar>  EpicCyndaquil: yup! stay on 10.10
[05:48] <EpicCyndaquil> okay, but can I remove Gnome? /:
[05:49] <Seven_Six_Two> gulzar, dpkg --get-selections | grep mono
[05:49] <EpicCyndaquil> again, that site presents a command to do so, but requires the installation of a few things that cannot be found (and I excluded the other desktop installation command)
[05:49] <gulzar>  EpicCyndaquil: yes you can..... not only gnome but KDE also but make a BACKUP first.
[05:49] <EpicCyndaquil> well, I have nothing to lose right now
[05:50] <EpicCyndaquil> other than time.
[05:50] <din> EpicCyndaquil: dpkg --get-selections|grep -i gnome will give you a good idea of what you have to uninstall
[05:50] <gulzar> Seven_Six_Two: nothing happened!
[05:50] <Seven_Six_Two> gulzar, then you don't have mono installed
[05:51] <kj_> Test
[05:51] <gulzar> Seven_Six_Two: fantastic........ now how to prevent it from installing?
[05:51] <Seven_Six_Two> gulzar, at least not through the package manager
[05:51] <Seven_Six_Two> gulzar, do you have to do it from the command prompt?
[05:51] <EpicCyndaquil> din: but isn't there a way to uninstall it all without going one by one?
[05:51] <gulzar> Seven_Six_Two: I am using Xubuntu so is there any default mono there?
[05:51] <Seven_Six_Two> EpicCyndaquil, there's probably a meta package for a lot of it
[05:52] <din> EpicCyndaquil: dpkg --get-selections|grep -i gnome|awk '{print $1}'|xargs apt-get -y remove
[05:52] <din> :)
[05:52] <gulzar> Seven_Six_Two: no terminal ./...........then what?
[05:52] <Seven_Six_Two> gulzar, you would have seen output if there was anything that has "mono" in the title. even if it's not mono
[05:52] <din> that will remove each individual package for your
[05:52] <din> you*
[05:53] <gulzar> Seven_Six_Two: in terminal there is no output...........
[05:53] <Seven_Six_Two> gulzar, ok, but are you in a gui? can you run synaptic?
[05:53] <EpicCyndaquil> din: even when I sudo, it's giving me permission denied...
[05:53] <din> EpicCyndaquil: run sudo su -
[05:53] <din> EpicCyndaquil: then run the command i posted
[05:54] <gulzar> Seven_Six_Two: yup XFCE
[05:54] <Seven_Six_Two> gulzar, oh wait. You can only lock an installed deb through synaptic.
[05:54] <EpicCyndaquil> ah okay, thanks din, that was going to be my next try :P
[05:55] <EpicCyndaquil> and now, I wait 43 minutes+.
[05:55] <din> lol
[05:55] <Seven_Six_Two> gulzar, I don't know if you can block an install, except by not installing it. and not giving out admin access
[05:55] <gulzar> Seven_Six_Two:  not understanding ....... I want to check if there is any mono package or not. And not to install it in any case. How to do these two things?
[05:55] <gulzar> Seven_Six_Two:  ok
[05:56] <EpicCyndaquil> I guess that's a side-effect of an atom processor
[05:56] <Seven_Six_Two> gulzar, ok,   apt-cache search | grep mono | less      will list all packages with "mono" in title but not install anything
[05:56] <EpicCyndaquil> Think it could handle Terrarria through WINE? :P
[05:56] <alex__> Seven Six Two Apparently a restart did the trick, got it to work with my text editor, thanks for the help man, i really appreciate it.
[05:57] <Seven_Six_Two> alex__, excellent!
[05:58] <Seven_Six_Two> gulzar, let me correct that:     apt-cache search mono | less
[05:58] <gulzar> Seven_Six_Two: it says that - E: You must give at least one search pattern
[05:58] <gulzar> Seven_Six_Two: ok
[05:59] <gulzar> Seven_Six_Two: it showed a long list
[06:00] <maum> hi
[06:00] <Seven_Six_Two> gulzar, yes, that's everything available with mono in the title. I don't know exactly what you're looking for. there are a bunch of mono libs
[06:00] <EpicCyndaquil> din: I don't quite understand why it's downloading/installing packages when it's supposed to be uninstalling
[06:00] <EpicCyndaquil> can you fill me in on that?
[06:01] <gulzar> Seven_Six_Two:  sorry! I want to check the installed packages and not Non-installed....
[06:01] <din> EpicCyndaquil: maybe you had some unfinished installs prior to this?
[06:01] <EpicCyndaquil> nope, at least not as far as I know
[06:01] <din> that has happened to me before as well
[06:01] <Seven_Six_Two> gulzar, you don't have any installed...
[06:02] <gulzar> Seven_Six_Two: phewwwwwwww Thank God and Thank you!
[06:02] <maum> I see the message whenever I start ubuntu system : Could not apply stored configuration for monitors
[06:02] <gulzar> Seven_Six_Two: I now have to install monono to prevent its future installation...... :)
[06:03] <gantrixx> After I installed Ubuntu 11.04, I noticed that the X select-and-paste no longer works.  Is there a way to fix this?
[06:03] <ccarter> Hey guys, first time ever on irc - big ubuntu problem if anyone can help
[06:03] <PythonPup> OverTheHillAndFa, Particularly, you should look at the framestep filter in mplayer.
[06:03] <gulzar> ccarter: what?
[06:04] <EpicCyndaquil> din: looks like it's installing icon themes, which is confusing.
[06:04] <OverTheHillAndFa> PythonPup: thank again :)
[06:04] <ccarter> accessing wireless
[06:04] <ccarter> broadcom 4312
[06:05] <din> EpicCyndaquil: yeah that's strange. basically that command finds all installed packages containing the pattern gnome and runs apt-get -y remove on each one
[06:05] <EpicCyndaquil> what does the -y do?
[06:05] <din> doesn't ask you "are you sure" for each removal
[06:05] <gulzar> ccarter: explain.......
[06:05] <din> it just assumes yes
[06:05] <EpicCyndaquil> ah
[06:06] <gulzar> I have a d.php file (25MB). How to open it. and for what is it? I don't work with php.
[06:07] <maum> I got the message like this: Could not apply stored configuration for monitors
[06:10] <din> EpicCyndaquil: still going?
[06:10] <EpicCyndaquil> of course, ETA is jumping from days to 30 minutes
[06:10] <gantrixx> what is gpointing-device-settings?
[06:10] <EpicCyndaquil> no clue how long it will take din
[06:11] <din> is it doing an upgrade or something?
[06:11] <din> it really sounds like the system had some unfinished installations
[06:11] <din> a removal shouldn't take nearly that long
[06:11] <maum> I got the message like this: Could not apply stored configuration for monitors
[06:12] <EpicCyndaquil> yeah, it's installing SO MANY THINGS. now it's installing "python-kde4"
[06:12] <EpicCyndaquil> 41%. >.>
[06:13] <din> haha it's upgrading to remove
[06:13] <din> nice.
[06:13] <EpicCyndaquil> I'm not sure exactly how or why, but I suppose it's better not to question these things.
[06:13] <EpicCyndaquil> it's also getting a ton of 404s.
[06:14] <din> EpicCyndaquil: well once it's done, you can use the same command substituting kde for gnome ;)
[06:14] <home-alone> hi...is there any way i can get ubuntu with gnome 3....???
[06:14] <EpicCyndaquil> din: and then it will install gnome for me? ;P
[06:14] <din> haha
[06:15] <din> i have to take off. work in the morning.
[06:15] <din> good luck.
[06:16] <EpicCyndaquil> ffff, my router just restarted
[06:17] <PythonPup> OverTheHillAndFa, I tried mplayer -vf framestep=60 16-sat.avi   and it played the video, every 60th frame.  That may get you started.  I have never used that feature.  I am going to look at it some more.
[06:17] <kjafshlkjh23> anyone use an rfid reader/writer with ubuntu?
[06:17] <LUEshi> yo, my whole channel got klined what is up with that?
[06:17] <rww> LUEshi: ask #freenode
[06:17] <mrdeb> what happened
[06:18] <mrdeb> is every1 ok
[06:18] <LUEshi> i dont know lolz
[06:18] <LUEshi> everyone got klined but me
[06:18] <LUEshi> its funny
[06:18] <mrdeb> yes
[06:18] <EpicCyndaquil> note to self: never uninstall gnome.
[06:18] <rww> LUEshi: #ubuntu is for Ubuntu technical support. See #freenode for network issues.
[06:18] <LUEshi> ye i know i just figured the linux geeks with their 1.5k users would have an answer
[06:18] <LUEshi> or well thanks guys
[06:18] <OverTheHillAndFa> PythonPup: cool.. thank you.
[06:19] <OverTheHillAndFa> :)
[06:19] <josePhoenix> Hey all. A regular dist-upgrade seems to have killed my server. How can I get it to boot from a grub prompt?
[06:19] <josePhoenix> It drops to that after saying "No such device"
[06:20] <PythonPup> OverTheHillAndFa, mplayer -speed 24 -vf framestep=60 16-sat.avi   was more like what I think you want
[06:21] <teal> Seven_Six_Two  After upgrading to Ubuntu 10.10 the extend desktop feature in preferences malfunctioned here is the chipset info you requested The chip set is;ATI 9200 SE (chipset RV280, AGP
[06:21] <OverTheHillAndFa> PythonPup: i do not want to change anything but the frames. will this be written to a new file or do i have to add some export command?
[06:22] <gulzar> I have a d.php file (25MB). How to open it. and for what is it? I don't work with php.
[06:24] <bazhang> gulzar, why do you need to?
[06:24] <PythonPup> OverTheHillAndFa, you have to add something to have it save.  It is the dumpstream option, I expect.
[06:24] <bazhang> gulzar, is there some connection to ubuntu with this?
[06:24] <gulzar> bazhang: I don't know why it is there. and that too 25MB. Want info abt it?
[06:24] <gulzar> bazhang: I don't know.
[06:25] <OverTheHillAndFa> PythonPup: hmm. ok i am all new to this mplayer stuff :) this is where the source files is from: http://www.nrk.no/hurtigruten/?lang=en
[06:25] <rww> gulzar: you probably downloaded a file from a website that's not configured properly.
[06:25] <rww> gulzar: what's the output of 'file d.php' in the terminal?
[06:25] <OverTheHillAndFa> see the download tab down on the right side of the page
[06:25] <josePhoenix> How can I start going about making a system boot when all I have is a grub prompt?
[06:25] <gulzar> rww: Ok! then I will remove it..... no prob.... there is one more file with .php but 0bytes......
[06:25] <oconnore> so, in 11.10alpha, what is going on with gnome-desktop-environment?
[06:25] <gulzar> rww: thanks
[06:26] <rww> oconnore: #ubuntu+1 for oneiric questions, please
[06:26] <OverTheHillAndFa> it is a world record in direct sent TV
[06:26] <oconnore> cool
[06:26] <oconnore> thanks
[06:26] <OverTheHillAndFa> in time length
[06:26] <op_amp> Hi, I am trying to compile c++ source code which is in another drive, but getting permission denied msg. How should I solve this issue?
[06:26] <PythonPup> OverTheHillAndFa,  The download tab does not work for me.  I don't run javascript.  It is way to much of a security threat.
[06:27] <gulzar> one more thing.... I copied the .tomboy folder from /home. But now using XFCE so no mono. It is possible to extract the NOTES from it without installing Tomboy+mono?
[06:27] <PythonPup> I really enjoyed my trip to Bergen, though, OverTheHillAndFa
[06:27] <gulzar>  op_amp: check the permissions of that file. Right click>properties>permisions
[06:27] <OverTheHillAndFa> PythonPup: ok i see :) the site is norways national television
[06:28] <OverTheHillAndFa> quite secure i guess :P
[06:28] <rww> gulzar: What does using Xfce have to do with not using Mono?
[06:28] <PythonPup> OverTheHillAndFa, You can decide that for yourself.  I don't run javascript.
[06:29] <gulzar> rww: Xubuntu 's default installation is free of MONO and I don't want to install (Widows product).
[06:29] <rww> gulzar: Mono is not an acronym or a "Windows product".
[06:29] <OverTheHillAndFa> PythonPup: no problemo :)
[06:29] <dinkdink> gulzar: lubuntu-desktop is faster than xfce
[06:30] <gulzar> rww: but whatever is done by Widows ........is not Good for humanity and FREEDOM and I don't want to use them............
[06:30] <PythonPup> Mono is close enough to being a Windows product that I agree with gulzar.
[06:30] <gulzar> dinkdink: yup! but I want Gtk so went for XFCE. Dual core, 1.25GB RAM, 500GB HDD
[06:30] <rww> gulzar: What, precisely, does Mono have to do with Microsoft Windows?
[06:31] <PythonPup> gtk apps run fine on Lubuntu.
[06:31] <gulzar> PythonPup: Thank You!. I was just going to isntall mononono
[06:31] <dinkdink> gulzar: sah-weet
[06:31] <bazhang> gulzar, lets take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:31] <gulzar> rww: not interested on mono talk. But it seems like you are a big fan......
[06:31] <bazhang> gulzar, thats enough.
[06:31] <OverTheHillAndFa> PythonPup: i am not able to test your suggestions yet because i am waiting for the file to be downloaded. i have a quite slow line here. but thank you very much
[06:32] <op_amp> gulzar, *cpp file, read and write both set to current user
[06:32] <PythonPup> Mono is a patent trap set for Linux by Microsoft.  My opinion, anyway.
[06:32] <bazhang> PythonPup, lets move on please
[06:32] <gulzar> bazhang:OK . But I was asking to extract contents from tombot folder and not to disscuss abt Mono.. ;)
[06:33] <PythonPup> OverTheHillAndFa, Good luck.  I have to go home now.  I expect you will need to tweak those parameters a bit, but you should have enough to get started.
[06:33] <OverTheHillAndFa> PythonPup:  yes thanks again
[06:33] <gulzar> Ok mono topic is gone. so my problem- I copied the .tomboy folder from /home. But now using XFCE so not interested in  mono. It is possible to extract the NOTES from it without installing Tomboy+mono?

[06:38] <wrek-gar> is there a directory containing 'hotplug' in ubuntu?
[06:39] <Spynxic> I just spent an hour defragging my computer in hope I would be able to partition my C:\ to install ubuntu, but when I try to resize my partition the bar in gparted refuses to move. Any solutions?
[06:40] <dinkdink> Spynxic: which filing system is it
[06:40] <wrek-gar> is there a directory containing 'hotplug' in ubuntu?
[06:40] <Spynxic> It is NTFS, I'm going to dual boot between windows and ubuntu
[06:41] <jmcantrell> what's the file indexing service in natty?
[06:42] <dinkdink> Spynxic: you're using the most up to date live cd of gparted?
[06:42] <Spynxic> dinkdink: I have another partition on the same drive that is a NTFS format but it will allow me to resize it
[06:43] <Spynxic> dinkdink: I'm not using the gparted live cd, I'm using it from ubuntu (which is on my flash drive)
[06:43] <dinkdink> Spynxic: is the disk mounted
[06:44] <Spynxic> dinkdink: no because there are 3 partitions on the disk and 2/3 will allow me to resize them, but the 3rd won't move
[06:45] <Spynxic> dinkdink: one partition is the windows recovery, the other is the windows loader, the 3rd is all my documents and programs and the one i am trying to partition
[06:46] <dinkdink> Spynxic: i think i remember from the other day 15gb recovery 100mb loader and 480gb windows correct
[06:46] <Nexte> Bonjour; In OSX there is a way to configure applications to, launch and stick to particular viewports. How do I do this with 11.04? I tried devilspie but it appears to not be compatible with compiz (it appears to not support moving windows to the Y axis)
[06:47] <Spynxic> dinkdink: 13 gb recovery, 100 mb loader, 918 gb windows
[06:47] <Nexte> Also how does one make the same applications which were open, launch upon startup and in the same workspace position?
[06:47] <brown_fern> spynxic: When I recently defragged a Microsoft Windows XP system in order to resize it and make room for Ubuntu, in defragging, I had the third-party tool, which was graphical like the old first-party disk defrag tools of Windows, move all of the data within the Windows partition to the front of the drive. I then used an application from within Windows to resize that partition.
[06:47] <Spynxic> dinkdink: I should mention in gparted, beside the drive I'm trying to partition there is a red exclamation point. It's the only with that symbol though
[06:48] <brown_fern> spynxic: I believe that it is best to use Windows tools for a Windows issue.
[06:48] <Spynxic> brown_fern: I wouldn't be able to unmount the drive that is running windows to partition the drive that is running windows...
[06:48] <dinkdink> partition magic works nicely
[06:49] <Spynxic> brown_fern: Am I right?
[06:49] <rdav> I used gparted to move and resize win7 partition on a HP-mini before in installed Ubuntu in march
[06:49] <dinkdink> Spynxic: the software of partition magic i think writes your edits on next reboot etc.
[06:50] <Spynxic> dinkdink: oh ok, thanks. Guess I'll see you guys in a few minutes then to let you know how it goes
[06:50] <Nexte> How does one make the same applications which were open, launch upon startup and in the same workspace position?
[06:50] <blakez> sup?
[06:51] <acp_> can any one direct me to how-to to fix thinkpad internal mic using 10.04? I have added the option in alsa-base.conf but still did not work, do I need to update my kernel right now Im using 2.6.32-32-generic
[06:51] <op_amp> when I am trying to run output file of cpp source code I am getting bash: ./a.out: Permission denied error. I have set the permission of *.cpp file by using chmod a+x filename.cpp
[06:51] <blakez> acp_: sorry
[06:51] <blakez> can't help
[06:51] <op_amp> The cpp file is in another drive, ntfs partition.
[06:52] <acp_> thanks blakez, i'll just try to google it again
[06:53] <Nexte> Hello :D
[06:53] <Nexte> Anyone have any idea how to save running applications and positions upon reboot and restore etc.
[06:53] <wildbat> op_amp: cpp is't the executable file , you need to change a.out. but it is ntfs ~ you can't use chmod ~ remount it with executable mask or cp to /home then chmod and run it
[06:53] <demonspork> Quick: Best windows software to access ext3 partitions? I need to get some files off of it before I format it.
[06:55] <DarthCaitSith> I am having a very strange bug. There is a section on my screen where my mouse clicks don't work. (for instance clicking on a hyperlink in chrome, or on a directory in nautilus)

[06:55] <DarthCaitSith> it doesn't change my mouse cursor when hovering either, its like there is some invisible window covering the spot
[06:56] <dinkdink> demonspork: your best bet is a livecd, mount the device and transfer via linux. i'm not aware of any windows reading ext3
[06:56] <rcconf> how can I undone? "apt-get build-dep vlc" ?
[06:57] <demonspork> dinkdink, I know that there are 5 or 6 different drivers/software to do it, I am merely asking opinions and if people have used any of them before.
