[13:31] <kefir> Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS uses NTP server announced through DHCP, but Ubuntu 11.10 doesn't seem to do that. How can I get it to use the DHCP server announced NTP server instead of the default one?

[13:47] <DrPoO> Hi, Im running 10.04 LTS and my computer keeps rebooting once in a while and I do not know why... Where can I start looking to see what the problem is???
[13:47] <andrea1002> "!lista"
[13:48] <rohdef> theeclipse, and now that you got your anger and frustration expressed, it would be nice if you would ask for help nicely. I would love to help if I can, but I can't use your outburst for anything
[13:48] <cvam> Pici :here http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/  it  asks for ubuntu branch
[13:48] <s1> Syd23: so whats running , GDM !
[13:48] <andrea1002> "!addon"
[13:49] <andrea1002> !addon
[13:49] <Bularthip> I'd need some help with hard disk and partition permissions. Last night I used pysdm to set one hard disk and one partition to automount on system startup but now I only can read both of them, so I have lost my permissions. Why's that?
[13:49] <Pici> cvam: Thats a weird way of putting it, anyway, you probably want to check the first checkbox in each group, or include the 'sources' ones if you're a developer
[13:49] <Pici> !it | andrea1002
[13:50] <Syd23> s1:i have uninstalled gdm..its not running
[13:50] <faraway> hi .. i want to redirect all incoming connections of "eth0:1" from port 80 to 8080, the connections to "eth:0" should not be redirected. i tried it with the -i flag of iptables .. but is doesn't seem to work. now i'm wondering if the -i flag works with "eth0:1"
[13:50] <Bularthip> I guess problem solved, I'll restart ->
[13:50] <rohdef> theeclipse, btw. may I suggest you bugreport your problem(s), so they can be fixed, it's bad enough you got into that mess, but hopefully you could prevent that it happens to other people.
[13:50] <Narc> DrPoO: You could look in the logs, it's in System - Administration, if I remember correctly. Check dmesg, syslog, kernel etc, for any warning/unusual message. It helps to check the time to see what happened exactly when the system crashed.
[13:53] <Syd23> s1: what should i do?
[13:53] <s1> Syd23: you could start lightdm , running sudo service lightdm restart
[13:55] <DextroPhil> i've made an installation cd for ubuntu 11.04 which i successfully used to install it on the laptop i'm using right now. i'm using the same cd to install ubuntu on a second laptop, but this time I don't get any welcome screen, only a command line which i can't type anything into. What gives?
[13:55] <Syd23> s1: ohk
[13:55] <gnx__> is anybody c programer???
[13:56] <jose__> Hi, Im running 10.04 LT and my computer keeps rebooting once in a while, and I do not know why. Where do I start looking to find out whats going on?
[13:57] <Syd23> s1: i need to install ubuntu desktop first
[13:58] <spacebug-> jose__: see if there is anything strange in the system log /var/log/syslog
[13:58] <spacebug-> jose__: also type 'dmesg' and see if there is any problems reported
[13:59] <s1> Syd23: then do so , sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[14:00] <s1> gnx__: you might get more luck in ##c
[14:00] <Syd23> s1: will it solve d problem
[14:00] <Syd23> ?
[14:00] <s1> Syd23: it should is lightdm is part of the desktop , No !
[14:00] <s1> is/s/as
[14:01] <Syd23> s1:..???..
[14:01] <BluesKaj> hey folks'

[14:03] <tabakhase> bazhang im posting couse i want to get veryfied that "its not possible to put gnome on 11.10" where on 11.04 it was possible
[14:03] <dyd> bazhang: ^^ tnx
[14:03] <cheshair> Hi everybody! I have an freshly updated ubuntu 11.10 and Skype installed. Skype version is <IP_ADDRESS>-0natty1. When I search for Skype on Ubuntu Software Center I am told there are two versions of Skype available, both called "Skype:i386". I wonder why there are two of them and neither of them is marked as already installed on my system.
[14:03] <tabakhase> its not for bitching ;-)
[14:03] <bazhang> !notunity | tabakhase
[14:04] <bazhang> tabakhase, if by gnome you mean classic then something similar but not exactly the same as 'classic'
[14:04] <tabakhase> "While you can install that package and get a half-working GNOME menu system, you cannot get your taskbar or configurable panels back."
[14:05] <s1> Syd23: is your graphic card activated !
[14:05] <Syd23> i dnt knw
[14:05] <r1za> Русские есть??
[14:05] <bazhang> !ru | r1za
[14:05] <guanerpao> 有人吗
[14:06] <s1> Syd23: check it from Additional Drivers.

[14:06] <AlecTaylor> hi
[14:06] <AlecTaylor> GUI XML viewer for Linux with support for large file sizes + auto-format?

[14:08] <tomasm-> hi, I just installed 11.10, and for some reason, the mouse cursor is real finicky..... sometimes I see the arrow, hand, etc but especially when on the desktop/toolbar, etc its just a block of blurry pixels... any idea whats wrong, how to fix it?
[14:08] <phlak_user> tomasm-: can you try changing the cursor theme using gnome-tweak-tool?
[14:09] <Syd23> s1:...i am clue less
[14:10] <tomasm-> phlak_user, k, the odd thing is that most of the alternate cursors work, just not the standard/default one
[14:10] <phlak_user> tomasm-: ok
[14:10] <tomasm-> almost like the cursor file is corrupt or something
[14:12] <commanace> hi, i'd like to find out whether a remote sshd server supports pubkey authentication. unfortunately i have no rights to open the sshd config. is there another way to find out?
[14:12] <tomasm-> am I able to change the windowing theme somehow (ie how/where window buttons are displayed, plus colors, etc)? 11.10 is completely foreign to me
[14:12] <dyd> ù
[14:13] <josh_> i wanted to but i think we cannot move the left unity panel
[14:13] <phlak_user> commanace: by sending it a key for auth in place of password and running ssh in debug mode, you can see the messages
[14:13] <stanman246> hi i'm running 10.04 and want firefox to run dutch. How could i do that?\
[14:13] <josh_> you can load dutch webpages with english firefox
[14:13] <josh_> or change the language in ubuntu
[14:14] <stanman246> i changed the language to dutch in ubuntu
[14:14] <s1> Syd23: okay , perhaps propietray driver for your grahpic card regarding that! am clueless myself :-) .. but still you can check what driver your card is useing and what can be used .. Run / sudo lshw -C display
[14:14] <commanace> phlak_user: what do i have to look out for?
[14:14] <stanman246> then added the stable ppa and installed ff7
[14:14] <guanerpao> JOIN #ubuntu-cn
[14:14] <stanman246> but it's english :( instead of dutch
[14:14] <phlak_user> commanace: a response from the server saying accepting key or something
[14:14] <josh_> theres only a couple things thought right ^
[14:14] <kahen`> stanman246: have you installed the dutch language pack for firefox? try 'apt-cache search firefox-locale'
[14:15] <s1> Syd23: see what GPU it's & look for the driver in the configuration: line
[14:15] <tomasm-> phlak_user, k, i got that tool, and i changed the settings, but i didnt see anything change, even after closing the tool
[14:15] <lfactor> hi all, really not sure which channel to ask in, but i've just switched from Mandriva to Ubuntu 11.10 and my FPS in wine games is terrible, 1/4 before using the same wine version, i've got the latest nvidia drivers. I'm running unity 2d.
[14:15] <lfactor> any hints?
[14:15] <josh_> i cant run normal unity with my graphic card it looks like
[14:15] <Syd23> s1 : configuration: driver=i915 latency=0
[14:15] <stanman246> kahen`, no i didn't i installed thunderbird the same way and that one ran dutch... i'll try to install firefox-locale
[14:15] <josh_> lfactor good question, i can only run unity 2d too with my nvidia 260
[14:16] <kahen`> stanman246: probably firefox-locale-nl
[14:16] <lfactor> josh_, :( i've got a similar card
[14:16] <josh_> i kept windows for games only, do you thin u can have the same fps on ubuntu ? ( guess not :( )
[14:16] <s1> Syd23: okay ,  am looking for something on the release note
[14:16] <commanace> phlak_user: http://nopaste.info/dfe6b02253.html
[14:16] <lfactor> actually ,bit faster
[14:16] <lfactor> GeForce GTX 460
[14:17] <josh_> oh shit,...
[14:17] <josh_> a bit
[14:17] <Bularthip> Is someone familiar with pysdm (Storage Device Manager)? I need help, I think it has fucked things up.
[14:17] <Pessimist> josh_, depends on your card
[14:17] <commanace> phlak_user: i'm not quite sure how to interprete that, because it says it can go on with publickey... does that mean it is supported in general?
[14:17] <bazhang> Bularthip, josh_ no cursing here
[14:17] <stanman246> kahen`, did the trick, thank you!
[14:17] <josh_> really ? i thought ud lose performance sinc eu have to use wine
[14:17] <lfactor> jose__, still runs terrible with this new distro...
[14:18] <guanerpao> !cn
[14:18] <darshann> how to find file in linux
[14:18] <josh_> probably but i installed ubuntu to my girlfriend laptop and so far its the only one she dosnt see any difference in user friendly with windows
[14:18] <Pessimist> josh_, if you use wine then it depends on compability and your gpu
[14:18] <stanman246> darshann, locate
[14:18] <Syd23> can anybody help me get lightdm greeter screen
[14:18] <Pessimist> darshann, man locate
[14:18] <compdoc> darshan, locate is great. you have to run 'sudo updatedb' first
[14:18] <josh_> haha someone called pessimist give me some hope ! what an irony n! LOL
[14:19] <Pessimist> josh_, I think we (you) will be bashed for offtopic
[14:19] <commanace> phlak_user: as can be seen from the output, it doesn't work, ... but i'm not sure whether that's because it is not supported by the server or whether that's because i have an error in my config
[14:19] <Narc> Hello all. Anyone using Gnome Shell on Oneiric can tell me which way/PPA is the preferred one to get gnome-shell-extensions ? Thanks.
[14:19] <thegladiator> am facing lot of isses after upgrade mostly graphics / display issues like desktop dissapearing etc
[14:20] <Anon42> Does someone know how to get Hotspot Shield?
[14:20] <thegladiator> I need to find a stable gui replace , is there any suggestions gnome shell too is broken . Xfce too has issue
[14:20] <Pessimist> thegladiator, download 10.04.3 :)
[14:20] <thegladiator> you mean roll back ?
[14:20] <thegladiator> old version of Ubuntu ?
[14:20] <Pessimist> thegladiator, yes. The good, old gnome 2 with no unity :)
[14:21] <cheshair> Hi! When I search for Skype on Ubuntu Software Center I am told there are two versions of Skype available, both called "Skype:i386". I wonder why there are two of them and neither of them is marked as already installed on my system. (Ubuntu 11.10 and Skype already installed)
[14:21] <auronandace> thegladiator: or you could use kde
[14:21] <josh_> hey pessimist, if i have many devices to protect behind a single firewall, do you think its worth it to use an old comp with linux and configure it to serve as a pure firewall or its not worth it and ud rather have a firewall per device
[14:21] <thegladiator> lol , I wish really , but looking to some alternative because i think kernel is fine :)
[14:21] <Syd23> s1??
[14:21] <josh_> or anyone really...
[14:21] <thegladiator> yeh might have to go for KDE
[14:21] <fmancinelli> Pessimist, unity is not that bad. it's just that the there are some regressions wrt 11.04
[14:22] <Pessimist> cheshair, maybe you have two repos who have the same software in it? Try apt-get purge skype, then apt-get install skype
[14:22] <auronandace> thegladiator: if you want to stick to gtk there is xfce and lxde
[14:22] <thegladiator> i am facing lot of issues with desktop in unity .... xfce seems to have problems too actually
[14:22] <Bularthip> Well it _blew something up
[14:22] <auronandace> thegladiator: what issues in xfce?
[14:23] <cheshair> Pessimist, i'll check it out. where am i supposed to find my repos? are those the same i found in my /etc/apt/sources.list?
[14:23] <Pessimist> josh_, depends on what you want. My router provides good firewall and it satisfies me..
[14:23] <thegladiator> like when I try to open 2 file managers , or a paticular movie folder in my desktop ....everything dissapears
[14:23] <Pessimist> cheshair, yes. Paste it to pastebin and paste the link here
[14:24] <auronandace> thegladiator: are you using compiz with xfce?
[14:24] <thegladiator> yeah auronandace
[14:24] <thegladiator> xubuntu session basically
[14:25] <auronandace> thegladiator: compiz has always been rather buggy for me
[14:25] <thegladiator> yeah could be compiz then
[14:25] <thegladiator> how do I remove compiz ?
[14:25] <josh_> compiz been buggy for me too unfortunately :(
[14:25] <auronandace> thegladiator: try this in a terminal: xfwm4 --replace
[14:25] <josh_> unity or unity 2d wouldnt load anymore
[14:25] <ipefix> hello there! I have some doubt before installing ubuntu in dual boot on my netbook
[14:26] <thegladiator> ok I will try that , now I am in a different session
[14:26] <auronandace> thegladiator: sorry, you might need to use sudo there
[14:26] <thegladiator> need to remove cairo too I guess then
[14:26] <en1gma> im working on this guide http://www.backtrack-linux.org/forums/hardware-compatibility-list/28361-wusb600n-v2-ralink-rt3572-chipset-works-like-charm.html to build a driver that will work with my wifi adapter to it can do monitor/inject....anyhow i do not understand this part "I also had to download and extract rt3071.bin firmware (yeah, looks more than strange - rt3572 chipset, working with rt2800 driver and rt3071 firmware  ) from Debian's
[14:26] <en1gma> firmware-ralink 0.24 staging package here:"
[14:26] <thegladiator> yeah sudo ofcourse
[14:26] <FloodBot1> en1gma: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:26] <en1gma> where did he copy the rt3071 firmware too?
[14:26] <Bigbucks> How can I get a user rights to a folder through root terminal?
[14:26] <Syd23> hey can anybody help me by telling me how can i learn linux and ubuntu..i am like an intermidiate user
[14:26] <ipefix> my plan is to create 3 partitions: one for windows (about 50 gb, that will also be used for the rare softwares i will be using on windows), one for ubuntu and one for everything else
[14:26] <bazhang> en1gma, using BT?
[14:26] <reisio> Syd23: what're you trying to accomplish?
[14:26] <ipefix> do i need to create a large partition for ubuntu like for windows?
[14:26] <en1gma> im using ubuntu 11.10
[14:26] <en1gma> in wmware
[14:27] <gentoo_drummer> I used the command line installation since i hate unity and installed xfce. the system is incredible fast, even quicker than my debian and i was wondering if someone could tell me how can i get the default ubuntu font rendering
[14:27] <en1gma> bazhang is that ok
[14:27] <ipefix> or will the ubuntu softwares be installed in the 3rd partition?
[14:27] <reisio> ipefix: that's one decent way
[14:27] <reisio> ipefix: you only have to worry about areas, you'll need three: one for Windows, one for Ubuntu and possibly its swap partition, and one for your extra you were talking about
[14:27] <Bigbucks> How can I grant user rights to a folder through root terminal?
[14:28] <Bigbucks> Like change the folder ownership
[14:28] <b0ot> Could someone recommend a piece of software that would be able to take in Video streams (rtp/udp) and be able to record them, and then have an interface to be able to access those videos on demand (via rtp/udp)?
[14:28] <ipefix> ok, so let's say i will install Soft1, Soft2 and Soft3, they will automatically go to the 3rd partition? I can create a 5 GB partition for Ubuntu only then?
[14:28] <overdub> Bigbucks: chown
[14:28] <Syd23> i want to do more complex tasks using the terminal , reisio
[14:28] <pingupingu> hello folks
[14:28] <overdub> chown -R user:group
[14:28] <reisio> Syd23: like what, pick something
[14:28] <reisio> pingupingu: hi
[14:29] <reisio> ipefix: you probably don't want to deal with that
[14:29] <Syd23> umm..like package mangment
[14:29] <pingupingu> any one else got the issue with slow wireless speeds after upgrading from 11.04 to 11.10 ?
[14:29] <pingupingu> hey reisio
[14:29] <reisio> ipefix: you don't have to worry about storage, though, you will be able to access all three of your filesystems from either OS
[14:29] <shadowhywind_> morning all, just upgraded to 11.10 (used to the classic gnome), I was wondering is there a way to get the file/edit/view menu  to stay visible even when the mouse is not over it?
[14:29] <en1gma> can someone pm me that knows how to build kernels and knows their way around doing stuff like that?
[14:29] <stanman246> so, i customized a desktop theme and now i'd like to use that as a default theme for new users, how should i do that?
[14:29] <empity> I'm on ubuntu server 10.04, and I can't get monit running
[14:29] <Syd23> s1:..what should i be doing
[14:30] <empity> very strange because it doesn't really give errors, but the daemon won't load in any way
[14:30] <s1> Syd23: i didn't find anything releated to lightdm and your driver .. i was looking here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OneiricOcelot/ReleaseNotes
[14:30] <cheshair> Pessimist, here is the content of my sources.list along with a brief summary of my problem
[14:30] <ipefix> reisio: ok then, I will create a small one for Ubuntu :) thanks for your help!
[14:30] <cheshair> Pessimist, here is the content of my sources.list along with a brief summary of my problem http://pastebin.com/JtpVwv58
[14:30] <empity> anyone else got the same problem?
[14:30] <reisio> stanman246: short of copying the theme data from your ~/ every time you make a new user, you'd want to overwrite the corresponding files in /etc/
[14:30] <reisio> ipefix: that isn't what I said, is it? :p
[14:31] <BluesKaj> en1gma, there's alot of info on the net about building kernels , if you want someone's exclusive attention in PM then good luck, you'll probly be waitng a long time
[14:31] <Syd23> s1:..thanx for ur help anyway
[14:31] <reisio> ipefix: I'm saying if you accidentally give to much space to each OS, it won't matter, because you can still store personal data in that space
[14:31] <ipefix> reisio: hmmm, sorry, my English is not that perfect actually :$
[14:31] <reisio> too much*
[14:31] <darshann> i m totally new to linux
[14:31] <en1gma> yea...i would have never thought of that....
[14:31] <Pessimist> cheshair, try apt-get update
[14:31] <Syd23> reisio..like services and package mangment
[14:31] <darshann> need to search .srfsh.xml file
[14:31] <darshann> wat command i should use
[14:31] <en1gma> there is 1750 ppl in here...think anyone is really going to be able to help with something complicated in the main window?
[14:31] <darshann> igogle it
[14:32] <darshann> der are varity of it
[14:32] <ipefix> reisio: ok, but what I was wondering is just if there will be a problem if I have a partition only for Ubuntu and no softwares that I'm gonna use lol
[14:32] <en1gma> if someone knows their way around with building kernels...just pm me
[14:32] <Syd23> reisio i want to be someone who knows things..i hope u get what i mean
[14:32] <cheshair> Pessimist, I already tried with apt-get update
[14:32] <reisio> en1gma: nope, because you haven't said what the problem is, have you
[14:32] <en1gma> yea
[14:32] <reisio> Syd23: yeah...
[14:32] <arghx> darshann: if you search for a file, use "man file"
[14:32] <en1gma> im working on this guide http://www.backtrack-linux.org/forums/hardware-compatibility-list/28361-wusb600n-v2-ralink-rt3572-chipset-works-like-charm.html to build a driver that will work with my wifi adapter to it can do monitor/inject....anyhow i do not understand this part "I also had to download and extract rt3071.bin firmware (yeah, looks more than strange - rt3572 chipset, working with rt2800 driver and rt3071 firmware  ) from Debian's
[14:32] <en1gma> firmware-ralink 0.24 staging package here:"
[14:32] <en1gma> where did he copy the rt3071 firmware too?
[14:32] <arghx> darshann: sorry. use "man find"  of course
[14:32] <reisio> ipefix: you'll probably want space for some 3rd party software, yeah...
[14:33] <arghx> en1gma: I strongly suggest a backtrack forum. hwo should we know where they want their firmware?
[14:33] <en1gma> im using dang ubuntu
[14:33] <en1gma> gimmie a break
[14:33] <ipefix> reisio: ok, now that's clear :P I will give 50 GB to ubuntu too :)
[14:33] <ipefix> reisio: thanks for your help!
[14:33] <arghx> en1gma: but you don't use this firmware with ubuntu, do you?
[14:33] <bazhang> en1gma, then why follow a bt guide
[14:33] <reisio> ipefix: have fun now
[14:33] <darshann>  <arghx> so is this will be correct sysntax - man find .srfsh.xml
[14:33] <en1gma> omg you never followed a building guide have you
[14:33] <ipefix> thanks :P have a nice day!
[14:33] <en1gma> like i said if you dont know then dont reply
[14:34] <en1gma> if you know then pm me
[14:34] <tomasm-> hi, is there a windowing theme that has the window close/min/max buttons on the right corner of the window bars? i really dont like them on the left
[14:34] <tasse> hey guys i just installed gnome-shell but i got a problem: if i drag a window to the top or drag one to left it does NOT get maximized/fittet to half of the screen - if i try it with unity it works. What can i do?
[14:34] <arghx> en1gma:  please answer my question
[14:34] <popey> en1gma: http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/non-free/f/firmware-nonfree/firmware-nonfree_0.33.tar.gz
[14:34] <reisio> en1gma: you haven't said what it is you want to know
[14:34] <popey> en1gma: that is the file you want
[14:34] <bazhang> en1gma, bt is not supported here
[14:34] <en1gma> where did he copy the rt3071 firmware too?
[14:34] <Syd23> reisio ..then what should i be doing..dnt tell me to read a book..cz i dnt want to right scripts
[14:34] <en1gma> there it is again
[14:34] <popey> en1gma: probably /lib/firmware
[14:34] <en1gma> 3rd time now
[14:34] <reisio> Syd23: you don't want to do what?
[14:34] <en1gma> that is where the output of the new build goes
[14:34] <Syd23> reisio dnt want to be scripting
[14:34] <popey> en1gma: thats where firmware goes.
[14:34] <en1gma> dont it use that file to actually build the new firmware?
[14:35] <en1gma> thats where it goes after the BUILD
[14:35] <Syd23> cn you give a resource..reisio
[14:35] <en1gma> i really need someone who knows what they are doing...my question is related to building
[14:35] <reisio> Syd23: https://help.ubuntu.com/11.10/serverguide/C/package-management.html
[14:35] <arghx> en1gma: you obviously have no clue what this firmware does and what it is. please go to a backtrack forum to learn about it
[14:35] <en1gma> its not bt related...i guess you have no clue to building
[14:35] <arghx> en1gma: no it is NOT related to "building". you are not building a single bit of firmware at all
[14:36] <en1gma> leave me alone
[14:36] <Syd23> alright thanx reisio
[14:36] <en1gma> someone just pm me
[14:36] <popey> en1gma: I'm trying to help you.
[14:36] <en1gma> yes i know
[14:36] <en1gma> appreciate it
[14:36] <arghx> popey: please try to help him in #backtrack or whatever. cause it's not a ubuntu question
[14:36] <Syd23> reisio ive got a problem dt i dnt get the lightdm greeter screen ..can you help
[14:36] <reisio> Syd23: what do you get instead?
[14:37] <popey> arghx: he said he's running ubuntu
[14:37] <Syd23> resio: a lame gdm like screen..
[14:37] <en1gma> definately running ubuntu in vmware
[14:37] <Syd23> resio its not gdm
[14:37] <BBBThunda> is there an aptitude or dpkg command that tells me where a package's files were installed?
[14:37] <arghx> popey: he doesn't want to know where to put firmware in ubuntu but where to put it in BT
[14:38] <reisio> BBBThunda: dpkg -L
[14:38] <arghx> popey: therefore it's a BT question and OT
[14:38] <s1> Syd23: you can reinstall lightdm !
[14:38] <en1gma> arghx you are lyin
[14:38] <en1gma> i never said that
[14:38] <BBBThunda> ahhhhh thanks reisio
[14:38] <tomasm-> hi, is there a window list panel/bar for applications currently running I can setup in 11.10? i'm used to gnome 2 where I can add new panels, etc
[14:38] <Syd23> done that a lot of times..reisio
[14:38] <arghx> en1gma: you cannot use the firmware in your ubuntu ever. vmware has no access to your ralink wlan chip.
[14:38] <reisio> ?
[14:38] <en1gma> i said i need to know where to put it before the build....i dont want to know where it puts it AFTER it builds it
[14:39] <Guest88540> is it possible for mu lucid to upgrade to kernel 3.x?
[14:39] <reisio> Guest88540: of course
[14:39] <arghx> Guest88540: only if you upgrade to oneiric
[14:39] <Syd23> reisio i have reinstalled lightdm more than once..nothing helped
[14:39] <arand> !notunity | tomasm-
[14:39] <reisio> Syd23: oh someone else suggested that
[14:39] <reisio> Syd23: you say it's a DM but not lightdm?
[14:39] <arghx> Syd23: have you purged lightdm before reinstalling? (in case the config files have some bad option)
[14:39] <en1gma> well i might just install ubuntu to my ssd then
[14:40] <idefix> hi, with what program can you remove sound from 3gp-movie files?
[14:40] <Syd23> reisio ..yea.
[14:40] <arand> tomasm-: For that I am guess you'd need gnome-panel
[14:40] <Syd23> reisio so what should i do..purge?..how do i do that?
[14:40] <Bularthip> So, now it seems I have lost totally my permissions as system Administrator :o
[14:40] <reisio> Syd23: but you don't think it's gdm, either?
[14:40] <shadowbank> nope, i just want to retain as lucid but i have to upgrade to kernel 3.x, could that be possible/
[14:41] <arghx> shadowbank: technically possible and unsupported
[14:41] <tomasm-> arand, yeah, this is starting to bug me, thanks
[14:41] <cheshair> Pessimist, I tried purging and reinstalling Skype with apt-get, it seems it's now retrieving <IP_ADDRESS>-0oneiric2 version
[14:41] <Syd23> reisio yes
[14:41] <cheshair> Pessimist, it's weird apt-cache policy didn't mention anything about this oneiric version before the purge
[14:41] <Syd23> reisio i uninstalled gdm
[14:41] <cheshair> Pessimist, thanks
[14:41] <reisio> idefix: permanently?
[14:42] <meta-coder> What are the reasons for having a separate partition for /boot/ ?
[14:42] <arghx> cheshair: apt-cache policy <skype package> ?
[14:42] <shadowbank> arghx: how can i upgrade to kernel 3.x and if possible also to gnome 3 :D
[14:42] <arghx> meta-coder: RAID
[14:42] <arghx> shadowbank: upgrade to oneiric
[14:42] <Pessimist> Syd23, sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm
[14:43] <josh_> arghx i had so many problems installing linux on fakeraid  ( infact i only knew it was fake raid and not real raid after i got my comp ) i had to install 10.04 and upgrade to the current version, its the only grub that works with fakeraid it looksl ike
[14:43] <Syd23> Pessimist..
[14:43] <shadowbank> arghx: what if i just want the kernel to upgrade to 3.x, how could that be?
[14:43] <wh1zz0> Anyone noticed any serious issues with oneiric?
[14:43] <arand> shadowbank: kernel 3.0, possibly, although it's not recommended, gnome3 is liekly not possible without changing half of the system, more or less..
[14:43] <Syd23> pessimist .done that sellected lightdm ..it had two options lightdm and kdm..chose lightdm
[14:43] <reisio> shadowbank: what do you want linux 3.x for?
[14:44] <Pessimist> Syd23 try signing out and signing in?
[14:44] <Syd23> Pessimist .ohk .wait a sec
[14:44] <shadowbank> reisio: i want to test its stability on laptop ;D
[14:44] <meta-coder> Which of these partitions generally used by Linux distros should be primary? / , /boot , /home , swap ? Can I use logocal partitions for / , /boot and swap?
[14:45] <reisio> shadowbank: usually people who want to be beta testers already know how to do that
[14:45] <AnAnt> Hello, is there a way to control the logo position in unity-greeter ?
[14:45] <wh1zz0> Also, if I upgrade to oneiric, I know that I will have all my files intact BUT the question is will I have all my settings intact? Like configurations as well as theme and all that?
[14:45] <Syd23> Pessimist..same old screen
[14:45] <arand> !mainline | shadowbank
[14:45] <Pessimist> Syd23, then try restarting ?
[14:45] <arand> shadowbank: But not that that is only intended for _testing_
[14:45] <Syd23> Pessimist..ohk..
[14:45] <arand> shadowbank: *note
[14:46] <cheshair> arghx, i think i ran into a very weird behaviour, i pasted some code here: http://pastebin.com/0sfJD3E5
[14:46] <shadowbank> : nah nah, it's my first time to change my lucid's config. just want to try kernel 3 before i wipe lucid :D
[14:47] <Pessimist> cheshair, what's the output after apt-get install skype?
[14:47] <a> lapin

[14:47] <cheshair> Pessimist, what output? policy?
[14:47] <Guest11587> rabbit

[14:48] <Pessimist> DId it finish apt-get install skype correctly?
[14:48] <s1> shadowbank: why don't you test it on a VM !
[14:48] <dr_willis> zolomon:  no. firewall is system wide
[14:48] <dr_willis> !firewall
[14:48] <zolomon> dr_willis: thanks
[14:48] <Syd23> Pessimist...same old screen ..after restarting
[14:48] <cheshair> Pessimist, yes
[14:48] <cheshair> it did
[14:48] <Pessimist> Syd23, try reconfiguring kdm: sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm
[14:49] <Syd23> Pessimist.den?
[14:49] <cheshair> arghx, apt-cache policy output is in my pastebin post, before and after skype reinstall
[14:49] <wh1zz0> Pessimist: Please I wish yo know.. If I upgrade to oneiric, I know that I will have all my files intact BUT the question is will I have all my settings intact? Like configurations as well as theme and all that?
[14:50] <jason___> Hey there. Does anybody know if Flash for PPC Ubuntu exists? If so, is it updated?
[14:50] <AnAnt> Hello, is there a way to control the logo position in unity-greeter ?
[14:50] <Pessimist> cheshair, try "locate / -iname 'skype'", post the output without permission errors to pastebin. Do you have the bin?

[14:52] <cheshair> Pessimist, locate? do you mean "find"?
[14:52] <dr_willis> DraiMein:  ive yet to break a flash drive by running linux on it.. but they do have a limited life... ive just never managed to kill one yet.
[14:52] <nils_> devish: doesn't show any, last message I see is mountall: Disconnected from plymouth
[14:52] <Pessimist> cheshair, just check if you have the bin in "/usr/bin"
[14:52] <mike30> Hi, I have just freshly installed 11.10 from 10.10 and I can't get the hang of unity: how do I add custom buttons to it?

[14:54] <s1> kayaman: use a converter app.
[14:54] <devish> nils_: oh login is disabled i suppose its on autologin
[14:54] <Pessimist> cheshair, so it is installed but it doesn't show on package list as installed?
[14:54] <devish> nils_: just remove that
[14:54] <mike30> easy question: how do I open another instance of an app on the unity bar? clicking on it just finds the existing one
[14:54] <kayaman> i have download converter application but nothing
[14:54] <nils_> devish: didn't set autologin, I just tried to start X from the console.
[14:54] <devish> mike30: which app

[14:55] <mike30> devish: xterm
[14:55] <_trine> mike30, try ctl n or the middle mouse button
[14:55] <kayaman>   S1 i have download converter application but nothing
[14:55] <devish> nils_: ohhh in that case you have already provided the credentials so why it will ask again
[14:55] <mike30> _trine: no middle mouse button, and ctrl-n didn't work out for xterm
[14:56] <kayaman> s1  help me  now am running ubuntu 11.10
[14:56] <devish> nils_: didn't you verify your identity when login into shell
[14:56] <nils_> devish: yeah the thing is it doesn't start the X server with the login prompt after booting.
[14:56] <Syd23> Pessimist i dnt have gdm
[14:56] <_trine> mike30, if you want another terminal alt ctl t
[14:56] <Reaper> ! notunity
[14:56] <nicofs> I need help connecting to a wlan network: For the past weeks, my network manager has had issues to the point where I can't connect anymore. Even with a simple LAN connection, I have to do dhclient manually in console. Something is awfully wrong. Please help me!
[14:56] <mike30> _trine: so there is no universal "hold this key and click" ? Any way to add one?
[14:56] <cheshair> Pessimist, skype was installed and is currently installed after the purge/reinstall. the problem is some sort of (apparent) inconsistency between apt-get and ubuntu software center
[14:57] <s1> kayaman: which app , there is many , and dfine " nothing" .
[14:57] <th_> halp someone, unity showing only top bar on desktop and nothing else
[14:57] <devish> nils_: one more guess so xserver is not set as default?
[14:57] <b0ot> my current version of ragel is 6.5
[14:57] <kayaman> may anyone help me how to convert music or video from MP4 into other format  like flv ....................etc
[14:57] <b0ot> but I need 6.6
[14:57] <b0ot> how do i get it
[14:57] <devish> nils_: try pressing ctrl +alt f7
[14:57] <kayaman> irriveter
[14:57] <Pessimist> cheshair, restart ubuntu software center. Maybe you should report a bug
[14:57] <dr_willis> kayaman:  ffmpeg, arista, winff. mencoder..
[14:58] <nils_> devish: it is, maybe it has something to do with installing nvidia drivers
[14:58] <reisio> kayaman: why... FLV is inferior to MP4
[14:58] <kayaman> s1 lets have private chat
[14:58] <Syd23> hey how do i report a bug..
[14:58] <cheshair> Pessimist, at the end of the day ubuntu software center realizes skype is installed but two same versions of skype are found
[14:58] <cheshair> Pessimist, ok i will
[14:58] <B0g4r7> flv is just a container format.
[14:58] <s1>  th_ unity -reset  !
[14:58] <B0g4r7> much like mkv.
[14:59] <s1> Syd23: Alt+F2 Run/  ubuntu-bug PACKAGE
[14:59] <devish> nils_: what  pressing ctrl +alt f7gives
[14:59] <Pessimist> Syd23, if you use kdm it should be similar to sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm. Just change gdm to kdm and try to choose (if you can) to lightdm. Maybe you have some other errors in your system or a unique configuration?
[14:59] <nils_> devish: the console screen I had after booting
[14:59] <devish> nils_: maybe it restores from the last session
[14:59] <hacktool97> hello!
[15:00] <hacktool97> или привет!
[15:00] <Pessimist> !ru | hacktool97
[15:00] <th_> s1: doesn't help
[15:00] <hacktool97> !ru
[15:00] <devish> nils_: you can try updating then upgrading then if the issue exists report back
[15:00] <Syd23> Pessimist..i choose lightdm..when i configure..i dnt knw about other errors
[15:00] <nils_> devish: I'll try, thanks.
[15:01] <arghx> cheshair: no it's not
[15:01] <devish> Syd23: lightdm is used only for changing the lock screen wallpaper?
[15:01] <arghx> cheshair: please run the command I actually gave you
[15:01] <Pessimist> Syd23, maybe kde has some other configuration tools for kde display manager? Look for them. I don't use kde much
[15:01] <nicofs> I need help connecting to a wlan network: For the past weeks, my network manager has had issues to the point where I can't connect anymore. Even with a simple LAN connection, I have to do dhclient manually in console. Something is awfully wrong. Please help me!
[15:01] <cheshair> arghx, i will immediately
[15:01] <th_> unity2d is full of gfx problems :/
[15:01] <devish> Syd23: or it has more uses
[15:02] <devish> th_: not tried;)
[15:02] <hacktool97> maybe I'll show you stupid
[15:02] <hacktool97> but how to install packages in all of your favorite linux?
[15:02] <Pessimist> !ru | hacktool97
[15:02] <arghx> cheshair: btw, it's not strange. the version number of skype didn't change between natty and oneiric so there was no reason whatsoever to update it.
[15:02] <th_> http://www.foopics.com/showfull/07083531697b7ca4b5b5b0350783a173 :/ i'm getting tired of reporting bugs though as they just don't get fixed
[15:02] <Syd23> devish no it doesnot have more uses i gues..
[15:02] <dr_willis> hacktool97:  use the software center tool. or the apt-get pacakge manager tools you perfer.
[15:03] <devish> hacktool97: in what sense? what is the context?
[15:03] <Syd23> Pessimist me either used gdm earlier
[15:03] <upper2bits> Just updated a server to the new ubuntu and my shells now have a bar at the bottom. Is this new, a feaure that came with the image I got?  http://bit.ly/p5zLuy  How can I shut it off?
[15:03] <arghx> cheshair: but then you deleted it, it donwloaded the oneiric version since that's the only one available
[15:03] <devish> Syd23: this makes it cool
[15:03] <Syd23> devish i know..dts y i want it
[15:03] <dr_willis> upper2bits:  thats byobu a screen variant.
[15:03] <devish> Syd23: can't we change bootloader background here some cpio stuff in suse and other linux?///
[15:04] <kayaman> dr_wills now am running on ubuntu 11.10  may give  an application for  converting
[15:04] <dr_willis> upper2bits:  notice the F9 menu item at the bottom
[15:04] <b0ot> How would I install ragel 6.6 (how do I confirm the current version)
[15:04] <upper2bits> dr_willis: it starts when I login..
[15:04] <dr_willis> kayaman:  for converting what to what?
[15:04] <dr_willis> upper2bits:  yes... it has that ability.. again.., see the f9 keys menu items...
[15:04] <devish> b0ot: apt-get install XX
[15:04] <cheshair> arghx, that makes sense... thank you so much for your explanation!! here comes the output of apt-cache policy: http://pastebin.com/7pyi3awR
[15:04] <arghx> b0ot: dpkg -l <packagename>  will tell you the currently installed version
[15:04] <b0ot> devish, apparently that gave me 6.5
[15:04] <b0ot> i need 6.6
[15:05] <Bularthip> It seems I no longer have Administrator or root permissions on my own PC, can someone help me?
[15:05] <dr_willis> upper2bits:  you may want to read a screen tutorial or 2 and learn how to use screen. its veyr very handy
[15:05] <arghx> !info ragel
[15:05] <upper2bits> dr_willis:  Thanks! :-)
[15:05] <arghx> b0ot: do you run oneiric?
[15:05] <kayaman> dr wills converting  MP4 to flv or other format
[15:05] <dr_willis> kayaman:  i mentioned 4 tools earlier.. ffmpeg, mencoder, winff, arista
[15:05] <arghx> kayaman: ffmpeg for example
[15:05] <b0ot> arghx, not sure what that is
[15:06] <reisio> kayaman: why do you want to do that
[15:06] <arghx> b0ot: which version of ubuntu do you run? oneiric is the latest version from october 2011
[15:06] <dr_willis> kayaman:  most gui tools are front ends to winff or mencoder
[15:06] <klonkn> hello there
[15:06] <b0ot> 10.04
[15:06] <b0ot> L T S
[15:06] <arghx> b0ot: then you need to do a backport I guess
[15:06] <reisio> klonkn: hi
[15:06] <kayaman> let me check in ubuntu software center
[15:06] <klonkn> can any help me with broadcom wireless drivers?
[15:06] <b0ot> backport?
[15:07] <fastputty> hi, i cannot to my ftp because of that passive port. Someone could help me out. I have a rule iptables setuped: /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -s <IP_ADDRESS> -i eth0 --dport 9999 -j ACCEPT
[15:07] <arghx> !backport
[15:07] <magn3ts> fastputty, protip, don't use FTP.
[15:07] <devish> b0ot: if its not in the repo than u can't but u can compile;)
[15:07] <fastputty> i see the connection has been established but cannot display directoies.
[15:07] <fastputty> magn3ts: huh?
[15:07] <arghx> b0ot: only that you would need to create your own backport#
[15:07] <devish> fastputty: nice name!!!
[15:07] <b0ot> devish, how do i do that
[15:08] <BluesKaj> nicofs,  this tutorial for ethernet on Lan , http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/ , you will no longer need network manager .
[15:08] <magn3ts> fastputty, don't use FTP, it's insecure and totally unnecessary in linux land.
[15:08] <fastputty> magn3ts: what would you use then?
[15:08] <nicofs> BluesKaj: and for wlan with encryption?
[15:08] <klonkn> I installed the open source drivers supplied by broadcom but networkmanager dosentsee any networks, or that its isntalled. I think
[15:08] <magn3ts> fastputty, scp/sftp.
[15:08] <devish> b0ot: what type of package they provide
[15:08] <fastputty> hmm i see
[15:08] <devish> b0ot: for linux
[15:08] <magn3ts> fastputty, if you install openssh-server, you get a free file transfer setup with any SCP/SFTP client (basically any FTP client will wor with it) :)
[15:09] <arghx> fastputty: if you have that error with ftp it means your ftp server is behind a NAT and doesn't do the portforwarding correctly. as others suggested: use sftp which works via ssh server
[15:09] <nicofs> BluesKaj: until recently, it worked. now it doesn't. I consider that a problem i want to serve, not work around...
[15:09] <b0ot> devish .dsc?
[15:09] <BluesKaj> nicofs, it would help us help you if you mentioned what kind of network in your question
[15:09] <nicofs> BluesKaj: *solve
[15:09] <mneptok> b0ot: there is a Debian package for Ragel 6.6 that looks like its dependencies are met by 10.04 packages. you could try installing that Debian. package. but it's very, very much unsupported, and slightly dangerous. better to upgrade the Ubuntu distribution and get the newer Ragel that way.
[15:09] <devish> b0ot: what is that
[15:09] <klonkn> so if anyone has any pointers.. :D
[15:09] <devish> b0ot: deb?
[15:10] <devish> b0ot: link please
[15:10] <B0g4r7> fastputty, try 'modprobe nf_conbntrack_ftp' and try again.
[15:10] <b0ot> at Debian. package. but it's very, very much unsupported, and slightly dangerous. better to upgrade the Ubuntu distribution and get the newer Ragel that way.
[15:10] <B0g4r7> fastputty, er,  'modprobe nf_conntrack_ftp'
[15:10] <fastputty> magn3ts: sftp is not recommanded, basically its like ssh will allow user to launch some command.
[15:10] <fastputty> magn3ts: i dont want this
[15:10] <b0ot> opps
[15:10] <arghx> klonkn: why did you install those? and which broadcom chip is it?
[15:10] <nicofs> I want to connect to a wlan network using WPA2, PEAP, MSCHAPv2. It used to work via network manager, now it doesn't anymore. I can't connect.
[15:10] <th_> ok so, what to do, logging in only shows nautilus top panel, unity doesn't start. --reset didn't help
[15:10] <fastputty> magn3ts: simple user , a simple ftp is ok
[15:10] <mneptok> b0ot: uhhh ...
[15:10] <fastputty> magn3ts: data is not confidential
[15:10] <arghx> fastputty: you are wrong
[15:11] <b0ot> http://packages.debian.org/sid/ragel
[15:11] <BluesKaj> nicofs, so which is it wifi or ethernet ?
[15:11] <nicofs> BluesKaj: it's wifi.
[15:11] <arghx> fastputty: you are behind a NAT with your server. there ftpd is not really suitable
[15:11] <mneptok> fastputty: FTP is a far greater security risk than SFTP. and much harder to implement in Ubuntu.
[15:11] <klonkn> arghx: its 0576/43224
[15:11] <klonkn> arghx: and because the supplied drivers didnt work
[15:12] <kayaman> dr_wills how could get those codecs like ffmpeg
[15:12] <BluesKaj> nicofs, which chip?
[15:12] <arghx> klonkn: does ubuntu claim support for this chip?
[15:12] <B0g4r7> I agree that FTP is old and broken and should generally be avoided.
[15:12] <magn3ts> fastputty, you can allow them to scp/sftp without having a login shell.
[15:12] <arghx> !info scponly
[15:12] <fastputty> magn3ts: thanks for the info
[15:12] <tomreyn> hi, where can i get help and report oneiric upgrade issues?
[15:12] <tomreyn> *help with
[15:12] <klonkn> arghx: The restricted driver that comes with ubuntu says it supports this chip but I cant get it to work
[15:12] <nicofs> BluesKaj: Atheros AR9285 - but as i said... it worked before... and even LAN has issues
[15:12] <arghx> tomreyn: here. this is a ubuntu support channel. for reporting issues, use the bugtracking system
[15:13] <klonkn> arghx: and also, ubuntu seems to support my machine (thinkpad edge 13 amd)
[15:13] <arghx> klonkn: broadcom ones are unsupported and as you can see you can't get it to wrok either
[15:14] <b0ot> so I found the tar.gz tried to follow the install, but it says error 1
[15:14] <b0ot> when you do make
[15:14] <fireprint> Having issues after a update, with the famous black box around my cairo dock. The normal stuff does not seem to work. Anything i might've missed checking?
[15:14] <b0ot> make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
[15:14] <arghx> b0ot: you do NOT want to compiled from the tar.gz. please do a backport
[15:14] <b0ot> arghx, how?
[15:15] <arghx> b0ot: this is not the error you got. this is simply the last error shown. the important error is the first error.
[15:15] <etienne564> salut
[15:15] <klonkn> arghx: the open source broadcom driver works for some ppl, dont know why i cant get it to work
[15:15] <th_> ok so, what to do, logging in only shows nautilus top panel, unity doesn't start. --reset didn't help
[15:15] <arghx> you create a backport by downloading the ubuntu source for the ragel 6.6 package, installing the build-deps with apt-get and then running dpkg-buildpackage on it. that gives you a .deb you can install normally
[15:16] <tomreyn> okay, so i was running the upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10 on amd64 and at the same time i had the web browser open and was typing something into a HTML form. at once, a small message box popped up, stealing focus, and asked a question with two options. I was still typing and thus typed a letter which resulted in one of these options being selected. I could niot see
[15:16] <klonkn> arghx: was that last message for me?
[15:16] <arghx> klonkn: no
[15:17] <cheshair> arghx, by looking at my apt-cache policy output do you happen to find any reason why i have two different skype entries in ubuntu software center? both of them referring at the same skype:i386 package... thank you so much for your help
[15:17] <tomreyn> I could not see which option was selected or what this prompt was about. What happened next is that my gnome session was ended, and i was bumped to a broken gdm.
[15:17] <arghx> cheshair: I don't know anything about software center. I use apt-get only
[15:17] <Bularthip> This really is getting hard for me, can't find anything on google either. Does someone have any idea why have I lost my Administrator permissions, still as I am administrator and it worked correctly few hours ago?
[15:17] <mneptok> b0ot: if you're not willing to upgrade your Ubuntu version to get the newer version, download the Debian package for Wheezy (should work with Lucid)
[15:17] <fireprint> Anyone with thoughts on what it might be? (the black box on my cairo-dock)
[15:17] <monchap> hi
[15:18] <arghx> !errors | Bularthip
[15:18] <cheshair> arghx, ok i will (and i have almost ever done so), thank you very much!
[15:18] <tomreyn> this gdm now displays a lot of broken images "X" and a login prompt which is not doing anything. there are two options to the side but those are just about powering down, which doesn't seem like a good solution while i seem to be inmidst of a failed upgrade.
[15:18] <Bularthip> I won't get any errors, it's just simply that I nearly can't do anything on my own PC anymore
[15:18] <tomreyn> what should i do now?
[15:18] <mneptok> b0ot: and you only have to move one Ubuntu release forward (to Maverick 10.10) to get Ragel 6.6
[15:19] <reisio> kayaman: ?
[15:19] <arghx> Bularthip: we don't have any idea (cause we have not enough information), and we don't care either, why would we. you shouldn't care much about it either. all you should try is to regain thm. but what you wrote so far doesn't further that goal. please start asking questions, etc which we can actually help and which actually matter
[15:19] <arghx> tomreyn: ctrl+alt+f2 and reinstall the gdm package
[15:20] <jason___> Has anybody used Lightspark in Ubuntu?
[15:20] <heyitseric> Bularthip: what exactly are you trying to do?
[15:20] <kayaman> resio am here
[15:21] <kayaman> resio am here
[15:21] <reisio> kayaman: hi
[15:21] <kayaman> fine
[15:21] <b0ot> mneptok, L>T>S
[15:21] <kayaman> lets go to private chat
[15:21] <reisio> why do you want to convert your MP4?
[15:21] <nicofs> BluesKaj: still with me?
[15:22] <kayaman> my car fails to play mp4
[15:22] <kayaman> my car radio fails to play
[15:22] <tomreyn> arghx: i just did, it is already the newest version. also, there are unresolved dependencies. should i apt-get -f install as suggested? is there something i should do to retain logs before i go on so that this situation csn be examined by someone lster?
[15:22] <arghx> tomreyn: yes you should
[15:22] <b0ot> arghx, at Debian. package. but it's very, very much unsupported, and slightly dangerous. better to upgrade the Ubuntu distribution and get the newer Ragel that way.
[15:22] <b0ot> shoot
[15:23] <Bularthip> heyitseric, last night I needed help here with automounting my hard disk with the system. I was told and helped to install and use pysdm (Storage Device Manager) and I got the hard disk to automount correctly. Few hours ago, I noticed that the hard disk had read-only mode on, and I thought that I should restart. Well, I restarted and now, for example, I can't Unlock my User at User Control, because it says I need to contact the adminis
[15:23] <Bularthip> trator.
[15:23] <b0ot> sorry i'm running ubuntu in a vm and i keep forgeting i can't copy paste
[15:23] <tomreyn> arghx: which of my two questions were you responding to?
[15:23] <mneptok> b0ot: you run LTS for the stability. installing a Debian package may well interrupt such stability. you're choosing LTS because you don't want the latest and greatest that may have rough edges. live with that decision, i'm afraid.
[15:23] <b0ot> I added backports.debian.org to my sources.list
[15:23] <Bularthip> heyitseric, also I can't open the hard disk anymore, as I don't have permission for it.
[15:23] <kayaman> reisio  my car radio fails to play
[15:23] <mneptok> b0ot: do NOT do that
[15:23] <b0ot> file but it said signitures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available
[15:23] <arghx> tomreyn: run apt-get -f install please
[15:24] <arghx> b0ot: bad bad idea. please do your own backport from maverick. do NOT use debian packages.
[15:24] <mneptok> b0ot: you either install a single package from Debian, or do nothing.
[15:24] <kayaman> reisio  my car radio fails to play  mp4 files
[15:24] <arghx> mneptok: no. don't tell people to install anything from debian.
[15:24] <nicofs> I need someone who can help me troubleshoot a wifi connection...
[15:24] <mneptok> arghx: it's his only option other than an Ubuntu upgrade.
[15:24] <arghx> mneptok: wrong
[15:25] <BluesKaj> nicofs, http://askubuntu.com/questions/67437/how-do-i-install-a-driver-for-an-atheros-ar9285
[15:25] <kayaman> reisio are you there
[15:25] <mneptok> arghx: and if you read backscroll, i have hardly been encouraging.
[15:25] <th_> grah, finally
[15:25] <arghx> mneptok: he can do a backport
[15:25] <Bularthip> and heyitseric, I even can't see my bookmarks on Mozilla anymore, as it seems I don't have permission to use the path they're located, lol.
[15:25] <th_> crashing compizconfig corrupted compiz files and caused unity plugin to get disabled
[15:25] <arghx> kayaman: do you have a ubuntu related question? if so pose it. if you want to chat with reisio, go to a -offtopic channel please
[15:25] <th_> sometimes ubuntu and unity feel like one big ball of hacky bubblegum
[15:25] <Bularthip> th_, tell me about it
[15:26] <mneptok> arghx: infinitely more complex for a package with fairly vanilla dependencies.
[15:26] <nicofs> BluesKaj: Why do I suddenly need a new driver? I didn't upgrade and it worked...
[15:26] <kayaman> yes i have please help me
[15:26] <tomreyn> arghx: is there a way to have the unattended upgrade process restart from where it has left off or do i need to continue the update manually using apt-get dist-upgrade next?
[15:26] <kayaman> arghx help me
[15:26] <arghx> tomreyn: have you run apt-get -f install
[15:26] <heyitseric> Bularthip, thats the first time ive ever heard of someone not being able to see bookmarks
[15:26] <klonkn> Has anyone got wireless to work with a broadcom 43224 chip?
[15:26] <b0ot> The whole thing I'm trying to do is install feng... has anyone had any experience with it?
[15:27] <tomreyn> arghx: it's still running, i just wanted to get an idea of the next steps
[15:27] <b0ot> feng requires ragel
[15:27] <Bularthip> heyitseric yeah, me too. It's like... weird.
[15:27] <arghx> kayaman: do you need help commiting suicide? do you need help to get a date? to get laid? to win the lottery? please think (even if it's hard) before typing. thank you
[15:27] <kayaman> am fail to convert mp4 to other format like flv
[15:27] <mneptok> arghx: please lose the attitude
[15:27] <BluesKaj> nicofs, ok it's a suggestion, some driv ers need to be remodprobed , but it's up to you , good luck
[15:27] <arghx> mneptok: feel free to +b if you feel the urge.
[15:27] <sskniranjan> can we call for free to those on the skype even when they are not logged in at that time
[15:27] <Milos_SD> Hi
[15:28] <kayaman> now am running ubuntu 11.10
[15:28] <Milos_SD> I have a problem with ubuntu 11.10 on IBM ThinkPad T42 and pulseaudio
[15:28] <mneptok> arghx: uhhhh ... that's you're solution?
[15:28] <nicofs> BluesKaj: erm... what would "remoprobe" mean?
[15:28] <mneptok> *your
[15:28] <Milos_SD> pulse doesn't detect the alsa card, but it is present
[15:28] <kayaman> arghx do you get me what i need
[15:28] <Milos_SD> something about ibm_acpi is too old...
[15:28] <arghx> mneptok: solution for what? I don't have a problem the way I type. apparently you do. so you need a solution, not me
[15:28] <s1> klonkn: I know i got my wireless working with BCM4401 .
[15:29] <tomreyn> mneptok: may i ask you for help then?
[15:29] <mneptok> someone just woke the wrong dog.
[15:29] <mneptok> tomreyn: stand by
[15:29] <BluesKaj> rm the module , the modprobe it after rebooting , that was one method that worked , another is the url I posted . nicofs
[15:29] <kayaman> arghx refer my question  on music convention
[15:30] <jason___> I wonder... is there a way to break up an ISO into 2 sections for non-DVD systems, so you can have it prompt you for disc 2, etc?
[15:30] <sskniranjan> sir plzz tell me can we call any one for free who  are in skype even when they are not logged in at that time
[15:30] <Harmonium> Hey, people, what happened with Gnome Baker in 11.10? It got uninstalled by the update. How can I install it again?
[15:30] <nicofs> BluesKaj: how could i install the package without internet connection? is there a way to dl it?
[15:30] <reisio> kayaman: what format does your radio need?
[15:30] <heyitseric> Bularthip: but then again i dont mount windows partitions
[15:30] <mneptok> tomreyn: sudo apt-get -f install && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[15:30] <klonkn> s1: what driver did you use?
[15:31] <reisio> jason___: just split it with 'split', rejoin it on the new hard disk, then mount it virtually
[15:31] <nicofs> BluesKaj: how do i find out how the module is called and remove it?
[15:31] <sskniranjan> hay any one listening me
[15:31] <reisio> sskniranjan: ?
[15:31] <reisio> jason___: or better yet transfer it over a network, don't split it at all
[15:31] <BluesKaj> nicofs, you aren't deleting it , merely temporarily removing it , then re insterting the module
[15:31] <kayaman> reisio
[15:31] <s1> klonkn: the iwl3945 one.
[15:31] <reisio> kayaman: yeah?
[15:31] <jason___> reisio: mount it virtually? How do I do that? What I'm hoping to do is put Ubuntu PPC onan iBook with a CD drive, but the image is oversized @ like 710MB.
[15:31] <jason___> reisio: what I'd like to do is install it with disc 1 and it promptme for disc 2.
[15:31] <tomreyn> mneptok: okay, that's what i would have done if nobody here would have had a better solution. and i assume this means there is no better solution, such as continuing on the unattended upgrade?
[15:32] <kayaman> okay help me on sound converion
[15:32] <reisio> jason___: ah
[15:32] <sskniranjan> sir i want to know than can we call any one for free on skype even when they are not logged on at that time
[15:32] <reisio> jason___: no USB?
[15:32] <jason___> reisio: I dont think they USB boot. They're *that* old.
[15:32] <reisio> kayaman: you want to convert an MP4 audio file to something else?  What?
[15:32] <jason___> reisio: besides I think the startup disk creator doesnt support PPC ISOs
[15:32] <jason___> reisio: I tried that already
[15:32] <s1> kayaman: you still looking for that sound converter! .. try mobile media converter.
[15:32] <mneptok> tomreyn: that is an unattended upgrade. are you trying to get a new version of Ubuntu as well?
[15:32] <kayaman>  yes
[15:32] <nicofs> BluesKaj: personally, i don't care how exactly it is called, what i am doing... i'd just be happy to know what i have to type where to do it...
[15:32] <kayaman> okay
[15:32] <kayaman> s1
[15:32] <reisio> jason___: maybe https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot
[15:33] <heyitseric> kayaman: why not just buy an mp4 player
[15:33] <tomreyn> mneptok: well my 11.04 to 11.10 upgrade failed somewher ein the middle.
[15:33] <orated> Everytime I try to use recovery mode, the process ends with something like - couldn't find whiptail, cannot start recovery mode. And then drops to prompt. Can anyone help me fix it?
[15:33] <reisio> jason___: it's 710?  I assume the ubuntu unattended GUI release upgrade does a little more than just the steps you suggested? suh as applying some extra patches etc.
[15:34] <Reaper> ! not unity
[15:34] <Reaper> ! notunity
[15:34] <reisio> jason___: that sounds pretty odd
[15:34] <reisio> jason___: where'd you get it?
[15:35] <evelyn> hi guys, is there a webpage or similar that can display how the various worldwide ubuntu repo mirrors are performing?
[15:35] <mneptok> tomreyn: sudo apt-get -f install && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo do-release-upgrade
[15:35] <reisio> evelyn: performing?
[15:35] <tomreyn> mneptok: i was also wondering whether there's something i should do to keep logs for someone to examine what may have gone wrong with my upgrade.
[15:35] <kayaman> reisio
[15:35] <s1> klonkn: is yours a b43xxx one !
[15:35] <kayaman> help me
[15:35] <evelyn> reisio: as in which are being swamped
[15:35] <reisio> kayaman: you have to tell me what you want
[15:35] <jason___> reisio: this is at work. We have a fleet of old mac systems that are near-useless due to everybody dropping the PPC platform on mac. So I was thinking about throwing linux on them and seeing if htey work. Of course, we need flash, but I'll cross that bridge hwen I get there. I need to get linux PPC ON the darn machines before I can test further.
[15:36] <tomreyn> aha do-release-upgrade sounds good.
[15:36] <kayaman> let go  to our private chat
[15:36] <dr_willis> jason___:  there is no flash on ppc linux last i looked.
[15:36] <s1> !pm | kayaman
[15:36] <jason___> dr_willis: there are 2 alternatives I want to test out. gnash and lightspark.
[15:36] <kayaman>  so how could i get those  codecs
[15:36] <jason___> dr_willis: I want to see how well they perform. BUT, I need LInux PPC on a darn PPC system to test it :P
[15:36] <kayaman>  so how could i get those  codecs
[15:36] <reisio> jason___: sounds like a good idea
[15:37] <jason___> dr_willis: ad since the image is 741mb, too big for a CD, yet they dont USB boot, and they don't have DVD drives... I'm stuck...
[15:37] <dr_willis> jason___:  last i checked into those. they were lacking.  but in general i found ppc linux on my old imac dv to be rather poor.
[15:37] <b0ot> So without installing ubuntu 10.10 (sticking with 10.04) how would I get ragel 6.6
[15:37] <reisio> jason___: that can't be the right image then :p
[15:37] <orated> My recovery mode option on grub is not working. Can anyone help me fix it?
[15:37] <tomreyn> mneptok: apt-get update won't work since i'm on a terminal and thus have no network connection
[15:37] <jason___> dr_willis: lightspark only came out in 2010, but sounded like it had a decent following, so I was hoping ti may work.
[15:37] <dr_willis> jason___:   what image is 741mb?
[15:37] <kayaman>  so how could i get those  codecs like ffmpeg
[15:37] <jason___> reisio: yes, it is. It has a notation underneath it on the ubuntu daily image site that its oversized.
[15:37] <darshann> srfsh# request opensrf.math add 2 2 ,after running this i m getting  received no data from server
[15:37] <reisio> jason___: oh it looks like Ubuntu doesn't do PPC anymore
[15:37] <jason___> reisio: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/
[15:37] <reisio> jason___: should use Debian
[15:37] <jason___> reisio: its community supported
[15:38] <dr_willis> kayaman:  ffmpeg is compiled with support for differnt formats nornally. winff is a front end to ffmpeg.
[15:38] <jason___> reisio: I tried, but ubuntu (community supported) seems to work better than debian (officially supported)
[15:38] <reisio> looks like the community doesn't know how big CDs are
[15:38] <reisio> jason___: better how?
[15:38] <jason___> reisio: last I tried I couldnt even INSTALL debian PPC because hte boot loader gave me the bird. Meanwhile Ubuntu PPC installed like a champ.
[15:38] <tomreyn> mneptok: okay i just did 'dhclient eth0' so i've got networking now.
[15:38] <reisio> kayaman: I don't know what format you want for your radio thing — MP3?
[15:38] <jason___> reisio: speaking of which, I have a dekstop system with a DVD drive...
[15:38] <jason___> reisio: I wonder if I could install it, image it with clonzilla, and fire it out to the other ones
[15:39] <dr_willis> jason___:  supposubly a mac can somehow boot from a second mac.. via a firewire cable...
[15:39] <jason___> reisio: but clonezilla needs to have a PPC edition... I wonder if they do...
[15:39] <jason___> dr_willis: that's only mac to mac. firewire.
[15:39] <jason___> dr_willis: target disk mode.
[15:39] <reisio> jason___: image from what to what
[15:39] <darshann> ne1 can help me__srfsh# request opensrf.math add 2 2 ,after running this i m getting  received no data from server
[15:39] <Um_cara_qualquer> does anyone know a "cloud storage" server?
[15:39] <jason___> reisio: install Ubuntu PPC on the desktop mac with a DVD drive, upload it to my external drive, then deploy it to othe rmacs with no DVD drive.
[15:39] <kayaman> okay dr_will but tell me how can get those winff
[15:39] <jason___> reisio: problem is I need clonezilla PPC edition. I wonder if they have it
[15:39] <dr_willis> kayaman:  its in teh  software center...
[15:39] <dr_willis> !info winff
[15:39] <reisio> jason___: have you tried burning this 707MB image?
[15:40] <jason___> reisio: stab me http://clonezilla.org/downloads/stable/iso-zip-files.php
[15:40] <reisio> jason___: external drive?
[15:40] <dr_willis> jason___:  there is also some possible issue with how the # of mb is counted.. Mb vs MiB - the image might fit on a 700mb cd
[15:40] <jason___> reisio: yes, external drive.
[15:40] <jason___> dr_willis: it wont burn. it says insert larger disc.
[15:40] <kayaman> okay thanks alot dr_wills  now i see
[15:40] <reisio> jason___: oh copy from a live OS?
[15:41] <dr_willis> kayaman:  theres other tools in the software center for converting stuff.. depends on the detals of what you want to convert
[15:41] <kayaman> okay dr_wills
[15:41] <darshan_> ne1 can help me plzz...srfsh# request opensrf.math add 2 2 ,after running this i m getting  received no data from server
[15:42] <kayaman> let me update that winff then  i shall inform you
[15:42] <kayaman> let me update that winff then  i shall inform you
[15:42] <reisio> jason___: you don't need clonezilla, you can just mount the external and copy a tarball over, then extract it
[15:43] <djjonex> can somebody give me the name of a good distro that can run perfect with 1gb ram
[15:43] <reisio> jason___: http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/ for extra driver stuffo
[15:43] <dr_willis> djjonex:  most of them can
[15:43] <djjonex> dr_willis: im running ubuntu 11.10 and my video are lacking
[15:44] <dr_willis> djjonex:  thats not a 1gb of ram issue then..
[15:44] <djjonex> dr_willis: what you recommend?
[15:44] <heyitseric> new video card
[15:45] <djjonex> lol
[15:45] <daschel> Hello, and thanks in advance.  I installed 11.10 a few hours ago and can't get my usb logitech headset to work.  I've found similar threads on ubuntuforums, but they didn't resolve my issue.   In sound settings under hardware, it recognizes my headset, but under the input and output tabs it does not.  Any suggestions?
[15:45] <heyitseric> djjonex,  what movie player are you using
[15:46] <djjonex> heyitseric: Movie Player
[15:46] <heyitseric> djjonex: is the video choppy or whats it doing
[15:47] <djjonex> heyitseric: the audio is perfect is just the video thats chopping
[15:47] <djjonex> heyitseric: looks like if the fps are to low lol
[15:47] <heyitseric> djjonex,  what file type mp4 mkv
[15:47] <nicofs> Can someone help me get my wifi to work?
[15:47] <djjonex> avi
[15:47] <djjonex> heyitseric: avi
[15:47] <heyitseric> nicofs: ask your question
[15:48] <reisio> djjonex: what res
[15:48] <neshtc> Xvid format?
[15:48] <neshtc> Codecs-_-
[15:48] <heyitseric> djjonex, does it do that to all files or only this one, might be a bad encode
[15:48] <dios_mio> i think new ubuntu is out
[15:49] <dios_mio> when did it come out?
[15:49] <nils-> dios_mio: you are a bit late to the party ;)
[15:49] <s1> klonkn: which model is your card! perhaps it's been blaklisted or conflicted with bcma and ssb.
[15:49] <dios_mio> nils-.. yes... how long has it been?
[15:49] <nicofs> I can't connect to a connection I could previously connect to. Network Manager displays the "connecting..." icon for ages and repetetively asks me to confirm my name and pw for the connection - but never establishes one...
[15:49] <djjonex> heyitseric:  i think is hardware because u just try to do something else with the display and  the sounds chpped too
[15:49] <nils-> dios_mio: October 13th if I remember correctly
[15:50] <djjonex> heyitseric: maybe need a new videdo card
[15:50] <dios_mio> ty nils-
[15:50] <dr_willis> djjonex:  and your video card is what?
[15:50] <djjonex> how i know that?
[15:50] <dr_willis> lspci command, or  the jockey-gtk tool may offer some info
[15:51] <BadDesign> Where is everybody?
[15:51] <heyitseric> nicofs: most pswd are case sensitive, make sure youre typing it right
[15:51] <neshtc> Terminal lspci to list hardware
[15:51] <s1> sudo lshw -C video
[15:51] <djjonex> dr_willis: ok i just have a fresh install of 11.10 and thats my 1st movie downloaded ...let me open the terminal brb
[15:51] <heyitseric> djjonex, sudo apt-get install smplayer . try this player see if it works better
[15:52] <djjonex> heyitseric: thanks ill try it
[15:52] <dr_willis> I  did just discover a nice little Home theater pc disrto -> http://www.openelec.tv/
[15:52] <nicofs> heyitseric: thank you - but i never changed it, since it worked - and i'm quite sure that i didn't type it incorrectly all the 100 times i entered it - and i suppose neither did my mate whose credentials we also tried...
[15:52] <dr_willis> similer to geexbox.
[15:52] <orated> How can I find processor fan rpm? Does acpi helps to find that?
[15:52] <dr_willis> If its to bne  Just aa video playeer .
[15:53] <dr_willis> bbl
[15:53] <klonkn> Awesome!!! Got my wireless working, finally
[15:53] <edbian> klonkn: :)
[15:54] <dabukalam> after installing fluxbox on ubuntu minimal, how can i get it to start on bootup, so I don't have to login and launch it from commandline
[15:54] <klonkn> edbian: damn it feels good
[15:54] <heyitseric> nicofs: i get this problem if i switch off my wireless card, a reboot fixes it for me
[15:55] <nicofs> heyitseric: during these last days of wifi crisis, i rebooted my netbook several times...
[15:55] <dfalcao> i'm in live with unity now
[15:55] <dfalcao> oops, love
[15:55] <jaypetey> can anyone tell me how to setup a custom lightdm session in 11.10?
[15:56] <tantewillem> hello
[15:56] <heyitseric> nicofs: have you tried logging into the router and trying a new pswd
[15:56] <tantewillem> i want to ask a question
[15:56] <luis_> Go
[15:56] <heyitseric> ask your question
[15:56] <jrib> tantewillem: ok, just ask then :)
[15:56] <tantewillem> does anyone now why the hardrive prices are so high
[15:56] <nicofs> heyitseric: it's not my router, it's my university's
[15:57] <tantewillem> i want to make a pc with ubuntu but hardrive was 4
[15:57] <jrib> jaypetey: why?
[15:57] <tantewillem> 0
[15:57] <tantewillem>  euros
[15:57] <jrib> !enter | tantewillem
[15:57] <tantewillem> and now it's 80 euros
[15:57] <tantewillem> okay
[15:57] <tantewillem> sorry
[15:57] <sniperjo> i have gdm running, how can i get the correct DISPLAY variable from a serial connection on another computer ?
[15:57] <heyitseric> tantewillem, last hdd i bought was a 300 gig for 32 bucks
[15:57] <nicofs> heyitseric: the way i see it, something is awfully wrong with my netbook. even connecting to LAN or completely unsecured networks is not working properly.
[15:58] <tantewillem> yeah but my 1tb hardrive normaly cost 40
[15:58] <tantewillem> but now its 80
[15:58] <heyitseric> tantewillem,  theyve never cost 40 here lol
[15:59] <tantewillem> in belgium it cost 42 euros and 99 cent exactly$
[15:59] <tantewillem> now it 85 euros
[15:59] <jrib> tantewillem: I still fail to see how this is related to ubuntu
[16:00] <luis_> Buy from the US
[16:00] <oCean> tantewillem: you might try netherlands/belgium specific #ubuntu-nl channel
[16:00] <tantewillem> no its evry where in the world
[16:00] <oCean> tantewillem: please don't continue here
[16:00] <luist> why i cant ssh to my ubuntu? says no route to host
[16:00] <tantewillem> k i go to ubuntu-nl
[16:01] <MonkeyDust> luist: is your ubuntu in the same network range as your other pc?
[16:01] <_jfb> anyone have any ideas why the ibus icon keeps reappearing on 11.10 even though I've set the preferences to off?
[16:01] <luist> MonkeyDust: yep :T
[16:02] <MonkeyDust> luist: can you ping to your ubuntu?
[16:02] <iceroot> if anyone is having kernel-panics on eeepcs with 11.10 can you please append to this bug? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/869502
[16:02] <luist> MonkeyDust: oh i found the problem… thanks :)
[16:02] <evelyn> is someone able to advise the difference between upgrade, dist-upgrade, full-upgrade and safe-upgrade in the context of 11.10 apt?
[16:03] <bobweaver> Hi there Ihope that every one is doing great! After updating to 11.10 all well almost all of my perl programs dont work:>( I think that there are a couple of versions insatalled. is there something for perl like update-alternitves --configure  ?
[16:03] <bobweaver> use 5.10 insrtead of 5.12 ?
[16:03] <iceroot> evelyn: man apt-get   man aptitude
[16:04] <iceroot> evelyn: the first and second are apt-get
[16:04] <iceroot> evelyn: the rest is aptitude
[16:06] <luis_> What is aptitude?
[16:06] <bobweaver> or what about pointing the perl some how ? under ~/.local/applications/perlapp.desktop ?
[16:06] <_jfb> luis_: a better apt-get
[16:06] <luis_> Cool
[16:06] <bobweaver> !aptitude
[16:06] <bobweaver> !perl
[16:06] <iceroot> hm, aptitude is a frontend to dpkg and not to apt-get
[16:06] <iceroot> or?
[16:07] <syn-ack> no, to apt-get
[16:07] <syn-ack> hence the name
[16:07] <jrib> iceroot: I would think of apt-get and aptitude as frontends to libapt
[16:07] <syn-ack> rather, what jrib said.
[16:08] <syn-ack> Sorry, been up waaaaaaaaaay too long to do any sort of critical thinking.
[16:08] <iceroot> yes and libapt is using dpkg as backend
[16:08] <sniperjo> i can't seem to find the right $DISPLAY variable
[16:08] <andi__> error: cannot open Packages index using db5
[16:08] <syn-ack> alright, later guys.
[16:09] <chris1234> hello worlkd
[16:10] <babble> (double post, sorry) hey all - I'm using apt-get download to download all of my installed packages, but it apparently can't find *two* packages out of the list of installed generated with Synapytic (Save Markings As...) *or* dpkg --get-selections (it fails with either list for two packages); is there a way to get verbose output for apt-get failures so I can see what it can't find?
[16:11] <evelyn> iceroot: ok thanks for the pointers. my understanding is that full-upgrade = dist-upgrade and safe-upgrade = upgrade. full-upgrade/dist-upgrade is the less conservitive of the methods (and thus most likely to break things) - am i understanding this correctly?
[16:11] <intok> 11.04, how do I transcode a video into a dvd.iso file?
[16:11] <hellhammer> I'm installing openSUSE 11.4 how do i make it so my ubuntu partition shows up in grub so i can boot into ubuntu?
[16:11] <iceroot> evelyn: not exactly
[16:11] <ShawnRisk> how do I add an app to the unity sidebar in Ubuntu 11.10?
[16:11] <iceroot> evelyn: you have installed package A and it has a dependency to package B
[16:12] <evelyn> yep
[16:12] <Rainy-day> Hi, where do I set up the option to switch desktops by using mouse wheel on desktop?
[16:12] <iceroot> evelyn: now a new version of B is out
[16:12] <LaFlakitaBnAsika> emmmmmmmm
[16:12] <LaFlakitaBnAsika> spanish??
[16:12] <iceroot> evelyn: sudo apt-get upgrade will NOT update package B. upgrade will not change any OTHER package, only the directlys installed package
[16:13] <th_> ShawnRisk: drag it there from dash
[16:13] <evelyn> iceroot: yep understand thus far
[16:13] <th_> ShawnRisk: or start the software and 2nd click on it > keep in launcher
[16:13] <nicofs> Please... can someone help me with my wifi connection? I can't connect even to completely open networks. I addition, even connecting to LAN has issues (i have to do dhclient manually). This happens with wicd and network manager (no, i don't run both at the same time). Yes, i checked the spelling of all passwords, and i rebooted several times. All connections I use have worked before. I did not perform an upgrade to 11.10. I just wan
[16:13] <iceroot> evelyn: also (and that is the common case) upgrade will NEVER update package A if package A is installing a new Version of B
[16:13] <iceroot> evelyn: e.g. the metapackage for the kernel is A, the new kernel is B
[16:14] <iceroot> evelyn: dist-upgrade will also change dependencies
[16:14] <ShawnRisk> th_: thanks but this is the documents folder
[16:14] <s1> !es > LaFlakitaBnAsika
[16:14] <iceroot> evelyn: upgrade will show "package B has been hold back"
[16:15] <iceroot> evelyn: that is the difference between upgrade and dist-upgrade. to keep your system with the latest security patches, always use dist-upgrade. remeber, dist-upgrade does NOT mean to update your ubuntu from 11.04 to 11.10 or similar
[16:16] <th_> ShawnRisk: i don't think you can do that, you can however bookmark them in nautilus
[16:16] <ShawnRisk> th_: okay thanks
[16:17] <zee> Hi, what's the risk of continue using ubuntu 8.04LTS which is not supported anymore?
[16:17] <GinoMan> so I'm not sure why, but I tried to do a dist-upgrade from the upgrade tool.... and it left my system in an unusable state, so much so, that I had to download the disk to my windows partition, burn it, and upgrade from that
[16:17] <ShawnRisk> one more question, how do I start programs in minimised mode all the time not max mode?
[16:17] <luis_> running 11.04 on a HP Pavilion dv6000 laptop. AMD Turion 64x2, Nvidia GPU, 2gb mem. Broadcom Wireless.  Is it safe to upgrade to 11.10?
[16:17] <evelyn> iceroot: ok that all seems straightforward enough. just to confirm something, is the following true: 'aptitude dist-upgrade' == 'aptitude safe-upgrade' ==  'apt-get dist-upgrade'  ??
[16:17] <GinoMan> and it keeps choking on the fglrx packages
[16:18] <evelyn> sorry correction: 'aptitude dist-upgrade' == 'aptitude FULL-upgrade' ==  'apt-get dist-upgrade
[16:18] <martin__> does latest Ubuntu come with the game "Connect four" aka. "Four in a row"?
[16:19] <iceroot> evelyn: dont know, never using aptitude
[16:19] <martin__> evelyn: what's the problem with aptitude?
[16:20] <evelyn> iceroot: why dont you use aptitude? i have always been told to use it over apt-get... is one better than the other or is this a myth?
[16:20] <iceroot> evelyn: yes its better and its recommend by debian
[16:20] <idefix> hi, with what program can you remove sound from 3gp-movie files?
[16:20] <iceroot> evelyn: but i am fine with apt-get, so never touch a running system :)
[16:21] <idefix> and with what program can you rotate clockwise a 3gp-movie file?
[16:21] <GinoMan> I'm not sure why this happened but then when I went to install the fglrx packages, it choked on them and made it so I couldn't use unity again.... so then I went and downloaded fglrx from amd's website and installed it and it seems to work ok
[16:21] <evelyn> iceroot: ahh ok, i come from a background in debian so old habits stick... :)
[16:21] <llutz> evelyn: why should full-upgrade/dist-upgrade break more things than apt-get upgrade? in case of conflicts apt-get upgrade will leave things untouched while aptitude full-upgrade pulls new/changed dependencies.
[16:22] <GooeY> hi all. Could anyone help me resolve a wireless internet connectivity issue after installing ubuntu for the first time?
[16:22] <iceroot> evelyn: yes :) feel free to use aptitude, its much nicer e.g. when dependency-conflicts are happening
[16:23] <evelyn> llutz: i guess i say things may break because dist-upgrade by nature upgrades/removes more packages than a safe-upgrade does. though in reality im not sure how often that breaks systems anymore
[16:23] <PanArtur> GooeY: describe your problem
[16:23] <Reaper> ok ive dl ed the gnome pkg and I still cant get classic gnome on here.
[16:23] <Reaper> ! notunity
[16:24] <llutz> evelyn: for me: never since aptitude appeared in debian (using stable + unstable) ;)
[16:24] <GinoMan> I just reinstalled "chromium-browser" and "quassel"
[16:24] <orated> Do I need to reinstall the system if recovery mode is not working?
[16:25] <PanArtur> orated: what error do you get?
[16:25] <GooeY> Thanks. It says it can't activate the broadcom wireless driver (or card, can't remember). It gives me a log of the error. Someone told me I have to install the 4 files described in the error. Don't know how to do that.
[16:25] <orated> PanArtur: It says could not find whiptail. Cannot enter recovery mode
[16:26] <evelyn> martin__: if zou want connect four search for "four-in-a-row" in ubuntu software centre. i see it in mine, not sure if its installed in 11.10 by default
[16:26] <PanArtur> GooeY: go to synaptic or software center and search for them
[16:26] <GinoMan> but I don't think aptitude will let me install any of the 3D stuff unless I install the errant fglrx packages
[16:26] <GinoMan> does anyone know if anyone else has had problems with fglrx?
[16:27] <GooeY> PanArthur, I have the files. The error says "can't fetch http...." so I just downloaded those.
[16:27] <orated> PanArtur: But I can see whiptail package to be installed. It shows that error and drops to prompt
[16:27] <luis_> any suggestions?
[16:27] <s1> nicofs: could you state the issue ,  and what card is it Run / sudo lshw -C Network
[16:28] <PanArtur> GooeY: can you connect to wireless?
[16:28] <intok> 11.04, how do I transcode a .wmv file into a dvd.iso file?
[16:28] <PanArtur> orated: pastebin your /etc/hosts
[16:28] <GooeY> no, i have no internet connection, wired doesn't work either
[16:28] <orated> PanArtur: /etc/hosts ? for recovery mode?
[16:29] <martin__> ecolitan: I got it by installing "gnome-games", but I don't seem to have any "Network Game" option - do you know why?
[16:29] <martin__> I know I used to have that
[16:29] <newuser2> Installing another desktop environment decided to go and change my grub bootloader splash screen, how do I revert it back to how it was when I installed ubuntu?
[16:30] <s1> GooeY: which Brodcom model , i know i have mine working.
[16:30] <martian> If I just enabled my eth1 by adding it to my /etc/network/interfaces, how can I enable it without restarting?
[16:30] <PanArtur> orated: have you got deborphan installed?
[16:30] <heyitseric> man oh man squid is giving me all kinds of a hard time today
[16:30] <nicofs> s1: the issue is that all of my connections - be it LAN or wifi - do not work (reliably). I constantly loose connections or can't establish them in the first place, have to to dhclient manually - and just now i could ping google.com right until the moment when i tried to open google in a browser, which let ping return could not find... until i did dhclient again... it's all completely nuts...
[16:30] <GooeY> S1, let me find out
[16:30] <Rainy-day> In 11.04 unity, ctrl-u shortcut does not work in terminal.. how can I turn it on?
[16:31] <orated> PanArtur: No
[16:31] <Bragex9> ubuntu freezes during startup. Right after the ubunto logo shows up. Is there a way to start in like e.g a safe mode or recovery mode?
[16:31] <yagoo> Bragex9, there should be a recovery mode in grub menu? tsk tsk
[16:31] <zorobabel> in grub menu at boot-up
[16:31] <zorobabel> default it's the second option
[16:32] <Bragex9> how do I get to the grub menu?
[16:32] <Rainy-day> Err, never mind, I was hitting the stupid thinkpad Fn key
[16:32] <yagoo> omg
[16:32] <orated> PanArtur: Priority - optional. Do you want me to install it?
[16:32] <heyitseric> the grub menu is the first thing youll see when booting up
[16:32] <yagoo> Bragex9, grub is a bootloader for linux.. figure "Boot".
[16:32] <zorobabel> when you boot up, is there a pink screen where you choose your OS?
[16:32] <GooeY> Broadcom 440x
[16:32] <newuser2> that might not be true if it's a linux-only install not sure though
[16:32] <troll> someone know where i can set a system wide proxy on the new ubuntu?
[16:32] <Guest77764> is it even possible?
[16:33] <PanArtur> orated:  no, could you tell me, where your boot stops?
[16:33] <Bragex9> zorobabel: no pink screen to choose os. There is no menu there... It just starts
[16:33] <zorobabel> oh...
[16:34] <Guest77764> is it possible to set a system wide socks5 proxy in ubuntu 11.10
[16:34] <yagoo> Bragex9, edit /etc/default/grub .. have a value for the timeout.. then update-grub2
[16:34] <yagoo> Bragex9, (and uncomment as necessary)
[16:34] <Guest77764> is it possible to set a system wide socks5 proxy in ubuntu 11.10
[16:34] <zorobabel> yagoo, I think he's going to need a step-by-step guide for that
[16:34] <yagoo> (uncomment means remove # at the start of the line)
[16:35] <Narc> Hi everyone. Anyone using Gnome Shell on Oneiric can tell me what's the best PPA/way to get gnome-shell-extensions ? Thanks.
[16:35] <yagoo> zorobabel, that's 2 steps
[16:35] <Bragex9> yagoo: but I can't even start the computer to do those commands...
[16:35] <orated> PanArtur: Sure. Ubuntu boots fine in normal mode. But in recovery mode, it loads the kernel and other things remaining in the black screen and stops with whiptail message that it cannot find whiptail, cannot run recovery mode and drops to prompt. Usually, it goes to a blue screen with a menu box giving options like drop to root, fix missing packages, netroot and such but it doesn't show that up
[16:36] <PanArtur> orated: maybe you are missing some path in your /etc/profile
[16:36] <s1> nicofs: check if DHCP enabled method automaticallyin Network Manager .
[16:37] <orated> PanArtur: http://paste.ubuntu.com/715270/
[16:37] <Bragex9> yagoo: ctrl alt f1 does not work....
[16:37] <prouter> Please help, gnome terminal bell is not working
[16:37] <doodlewolfdude> does anyone have any knoledge as to why my newly updated 11.10 instalation is eating up my entire processing power with find processes?
[16:37] <orated> System recovery mode option in grub is not working. How can I fix it?
[16:37] <nicofs> s1: it is...
[16:38] <prouter> I also dont get the ubuntu log in jingle, I assume the problem is connected
[16:38] <PanArtur> orated: enter in terminal whereis whiptail
[16:38] <orated> PanArtur: whiptail: /usr/bin/whiptail /usr/share/man/man1/whiptail.1.gz
[16:38] <Guest77764> is it possible to set a system wide socks5 proxy in ubuntu 11.10
[16:39] <orated> PanArtur: Its a fresh install, no upgrades
[16:39] <mistercece> !list
[16:39] <Syd23> is there a way to reinstall ubuntu 11.10
[16:39] <Guest77764> is it possible to set a system wide socks5 proxy in ubuntu 11.10
[16:40] <Guest77764> is it possible to set a system wide socks5 proxy in ubuntu 11.10
[16:40] <newuser2> Syd23: if you have an 11.10 install disc it should be very easy
[16:40] <Syd23> newuser2..nope..i upgraded it from 11.14
[16:40] <Syd23> newuser2 *11.04
[16:41] <Guest77764> is it possible to set a system wide socks5 proxy in ubuntu 11.10
[16:41] <yagoo> Guest17604, probably for a desktop type like gnome or kde.. then gnome-specific or kde-specific applications would need to have hteir proxy set to "system" choice..
[16:41] <yagoo> Guest77764, ^
[16:42] <Guest77764> yagoo its unity
[16:42] <s1> nicofs: okay .. IPv4 or 6
[16:42] <Guest77764> ipv4
[16:42] <nicofs> s1: v4
[16:43] <doodlewolfdude> screw it
[16:43] <yagoo> Guest77764, um.. if the application doesn't have a proxy option, then um no.. it won't use proxy (unless you setup a special server that does a transparent proxy)
[16:43] <micutz> hello
[16:43] <nachow> sup
[16:43] <prouter> yo
[16:43] <s1> nicofs: okay , then check if 6 is ignored.
[16:43] <micutz> i have 1 problem
[16:44] <Guest77764> LOL ubuntu is so freakin done -.-
[16:44] <s1> GooeY: what is the issue with that card ..
[16:44] <prouter> Please help I have no login jingle
[16:44] <Guest77764> im getting backtrack or sth that actually still works
[16:44] <heyitseric> Bragex9, reboot, as soon as it turns on click on the esc key then F11 for system recovery. try this
[16:44] <PanArtur> orated: could you install dialog?
[16:45] <nachow> micutz: what's going on buddy ? what's the problem ?
[16:46] <Guest77764> you know any other OS where i can set a system wide proxy?
[16:46] <nicofs> s1: in nm settings it's ignored...
[16:46] <micutz> i don't know what to do to make my ubuntu 11.10 to work
[16:46] <Bragex9> heyitseric: ok. I will give it a try
[16:46] <orated> PanArtur: Umm ok. Do you find any thing missing in the paste bin linked?
[16:46] <newuser2> micutz: what's wrong with it?
[16:47] <yagoo> Guest77764, it's not an OS thing necessarily.
[16:47] <Guest77764> micutz u need a big hammer
[16:47] <micutz> my sistem it freezez when the login screen should apear
[16:47] <yagoo> micutz, u using nvidia or nouveau?
[16:48] <nachow> micutz, have you changed you'r xorg config file ?
[16:48] <micutz> yagoo i have a gigabyte hd 6850 video card
[16:48] <under> How can I share my BroadBand connection via WiFI?
[16:49] <yagoo> micutz, that sounds like ati
[16:49] <PanArtur> orated: could you add this into your /etc/profile at the beginning http://goo.gl/sLw8D
[16:49] <micutz> yep
[16:49] <micutz> yes yagoo is ati
[16:49] <newuser2> under, do you mean to everyone or just people with a password?
[16:49] <micutz> but with 11.04 i don't have this problem
[16:49] <Guest77764> yagoo i need to connect a program (i cant config proxy there) through the tor network
[16:49] <dschlittler1> How do you enable window transparency in Xubuntu 11.10?
[16:50] <Guest77764> yagoo i need to connect a program (i cant config proxy there) through the tor network but i dont know where i can set a system wide socks 5
[16:50] <under> newuser2, it's the same. i did but a wifi client has not internet access
[16:50] <dschlittler1> I have XFCE 4.8.
[16:50] <s1> nicofs: okay , from this point i'd go and check if i got the right driver & firmware for the card.
[16:50] <arand> under: Create a new wireless network, (add some security,) and check the "share with..." tick box
[16:50] <zee> Hi, what's risk of continue using Ubuntu 8.04LTS which is not supported anymore?
[16:51] <s1> nicofs: is it a Broadcom ..
[16:51] <Guest77764> yagoo i need to connect a program (i cant config proxy there) through the tor network but i dont know where i can set a system wide socks 5
[16:51] <arand> under: This assuming the broadband is wired and you're relaying to wireless.
[16:51] <nicofs> s1: how could i do that? lsmod returns a few entries that seem to reflect my wlan chip... (Atheros AR9285)
[16:51] <under> arand, the broadband is wireless (usb umts connection)
[16:51] <Polah> zee: It'll be supported until 2013 for the server edition. For the desktop version thought you won't get any security updates and it's far behind on updates on other packages most likely.
[16:52] <dschlittler1> How do you enable window transparency in Xubuntu 11.10? For Panels, etc...
[16:52] <yagoo> Guest77764, i already said in braces about a "Transparent" proxy server. You'll need to do some homework. This transparent proxy (would be a middle point) to help unconfigured clients.. I can't elaborate more.. there must be X ways of doing this..
[16:52] <arand> under: Or rather, that they are separate in some way, so if the broadband doesn't use the standard wireless card it's possible to relay it.
[16:52] <yagoo> Guest77764, also this transparent middle point server would be running on the local machine.. you'll need to somehow redirect your client's request to this transparent proxy..
[16:53] <sara> ciao
[16:54] <under> arand, yes, the broadband uses umts (so a usb key) and i share it with a integrated wifi card (is a laptop) and the connection bewteen my laptop and a wifi client work but internet doesnt work on the client. may I set ip on the wifi client?
[16:54] <zorobabel> 2d is running excellently on my netbook
[16:54] <orated> PanArtur: Ok. Done. Do you want me to install dialog?
[16:54] <Guest77764> yagoo well you proberply know a working way right know while i have to do hours of google to find a unergonomic one
[16:54] <Guest77764> yagoo sugest one
[16:55] <zee> Polah: what is the risk of continue using the desktop version? Worse case scenario.
[16:55] <dschlittler1> How do you enable window transparency in Xubuntu 11.10?
[16:56] <PanArtur> orated: no, you could reboot now
[16:56] <arand> under: I think this should be the basic steps: https://jeremy.visser.name/2009/03/simple-internet-connection-sharing-with-networkmanager/
[16:56] <orated> PanArtur: But what I could not understand that immediately after fresh install this error in recovery mode was observed. And the media, image file everything was perfect
[16:56] <PanArtur> orated: and check if it work
[16:56] <Guest77764> dschlittler install compiz-config manager
[16:57] <tomreyn> mneptok: thanks for your help earlier. i'm up an running now.

[16:58] <Bragex9> heyitseric: I did what you said and managed to get into a virtual console. What should I do next? My problem with startup hangup started after I had upgraded the nvidia driver from inside unity...
[16:58] <orated> PanArtur: Ok, brb
[16:58] <Reaper> lol
[16:58] <Guest77764> come on guys... its not that hard... tell me a way how to install a system wide proxy
[16:58] <zee> Polah : thanks for the info
[16:59] <Migaaresno> How is the virtual file system on ubuntu server called? I need some information stored on it, but the server is down.
[16:59] <Migaaresno> Guest77764: Is there not a proxy program?
[16:59] <Bragex9> anyone... how do I remove the current nvidia driver and install a new one from virtual console?
[17:00] <Guest77764> Migaaresna in the newer ubuntus it seems no...
[17:00] <heyitseric> Bragex9,  this might help http://askubuntu.com/questions/37590/nvidia-drivers-not-working-after-upgrade-why-can-i-only-see-terminal
[17:00] <Bragex9> heyitseric: ok, thanks
[17:01] <usuari2> hola
[17:01] <Harmonium> Is there a channel for Unity support?
 not in the newer ubuntu versions it seems... u know how to install one?
[17:01] <usuari2> uops,
[17:01] <Migaaresno> Guest77764: That is odd.   Run/ ifconfig  , and paste the output if can
 nah just in the software center... trying now
[17:02] <PanArtur> newuser2: describe your problem
[17:02] <under> arand, is what i did exaclty
[17:02] <yagoo> Bragex9, if u use the nvidia driver.. did u blacklist nouveau? (add "blacklist nouveau" at the end of /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf  -- without the quotes)
[17:02] <zee> Polah : what could happen if the system is attacked? what are the risks?
[17:03] <under> arand, in the umts broadband tab i cannot tick 'share with other0
[17:03] <newuser2> I boot the computer and the GRUB bootloader uses a splash image with Debian written on it and some green and mostly black etc.
 result is a couple of programs but i cant tell if they do what i need sry
[17:03] <Polah> zee: You could lose your data, have personal information stolen and suchlike.
[17:03] <arand> under: It's just for the ad-hoc network that should be necessary
[17:04] <Migaaresno> Guest77764: Run this in terminal: gnome-network-properties
[17:04] <Harmonium>  Is there a support channel for Unity?
[17:04] <Bragex9> yagoo: no, this is way over my head. I am at the "sudo apt-get update" competence level
[17:04] <PanArtur> newuser2: and you want ?
[17:04] <zee> Polah : Noted. Thanks for the tip.
 command not found -.-
[17:05] <newuser2> PanArtur, the default that came with the Ubuntu install, a plain purple background
[17:05] <Bragex9> yagoo: what does blacklist nouveau do?
[17:05] <Migaaresno> Guest77764: Does it give a apt-get command?
[17:05] <under> arand, so what have i to do?
[17:05] <arand> under: I do not know I'm afraid.
[17:05] <PanArtur> newuser2: boot into ubuntu, open terminal and enter sudo grub-install /dev/sda1
[17:05] <heyitseric> Harmonium, try #unity3d
[17:06] <Guest77764> gnome-network-admin - GNOME Network Administration Tool
[17:06] <Guest77764> does it help?
[17:06] <Harmonium> heyitseric: thanks!
[17:06] <Migaaresno> Guest77764: Install it and try to run the command again?
[17:06] <itbcn8> Bragex9: do you know if your graphics card is nvidia?
[17:07] <Jordan_U> newuser2: Do *not* run grub-install /dev/sda1
[17:07] <vector> yeah
[17:07] <vector> don't want it on partition
[17:07] <PanArtur> oouch ... my mistake
[17:07] <Bragex9> itbcn8: yes it is nvidia. It worked before, but got messed up after upgrading to 11.10
[17:07] <Mathuin_> Is there a problem with usernames longer than eight characters?  When I use 'ps', I see the uid (1001) instead of the username.
[17:07] <newuser2> don't worry, I haven't done anything
[17:07] <PanArtur> should be grub-install /dev/sda
[17:07] <yagoo> Bragex9, do you know the difference between "nvidia" and "nouveau" x drivers?
[17:07] <Jordan_U> PanArtur: grub should almost never be installed to a PBR.
 no good
[17:08] <Bragex9> yagoo: no, do not know the difference
[17:08] <PanArtur> Jordan_U: yes i know.... I have pres enter tooooo fast
[17:08] <newuser2> and you're sure this won't screw with the entries already present and everything will be fine?
[17:08] <Jordan_U> newuser2: Are you using both Ubuntu and Debian?
[17:09] <PanArtur> newuser2: sudo grub-install /dev/sda
[17:09] <Migaaresno> Guest77764: Im sorry. But I am all out of idears. I cant help you.
[17:09] <itbcn8> Bragex9: So you need to open a file called blacklist and add  nouveau
[17:09] <Guest77764> so someone know a OS where i can configure a global proxy
[17:09] <Guest77764> ubuntu is so done -.-
[17:09] <Jordan_U> !ot | Guest77764
[17:10] <vector> Guest77764:  just use iptables
[17:10] <Guest77764> how?????
[17:10] <Bragex9> itbcn8: ok. I will check it up
[17:10] <vector> redirect outbound connections on port 80 to a transparent proxy
[17:10] <Guest77764> all i know there was a tool in 1.10 and now its gone -.-
[17:10] <Guest77764> all i know there was a tool in 7.10 and now its gone -.-
[17:11] <wh1zz0> exit
[17:11] <Pici> Guest77764: 7.10 was four years ago.
[17:11] <s1> Guest77764: you can from Network setting.

[17:12] <Bragex9> itbcn8: what exactly shall I add to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf?
[17:12] <s1> 7.10 ! i can't rememmber anything there.
[17:12] <itbcn8> Bragex9: I am on my phone so cant type too much, but you cd to the file path and add a line

[17:14] <SharkMonkey> I removed pulseaudio and everything seems to work really well. And I seem to use less cpu when playing audio.
[17:15] <SharkMonkey> What's the point of pulseaudio?
[17:15] <ppcblaster> Noob here, I downloaded a Crossoffice .bin file it is in the "Downloads" folder, what do I do to install it? Do I need terminal or is there another way? If using terminal how do I get to downloads folser and install it?

[17:17] <ppcblaster> thanks
[17:17] <PanArtur> orated: have you got friendly-recovery installed?
[17:17] <imgx64> ppcblaster: open terminal, then run the following commands (without the double quotes, of course), and replace file.bin with the name of the file: "cd Downloads" then "chmod +x file.bin" then "./file.bin"
[17:18] <ppcblaster> I tried using the cd downloads and it failed
[17:18] <Mathuin_> Another question: is there a way to get /dev/dsp and /dev/mixer back in oneiric?
[17:18] <ppcblaster> can't get to folder in terminal
[17:18] <imgx64> Linux is case sensitive. "downloads" is not the same as "Downloads"
[17:18] <orated> PanArtur: Yes, friendly-recovery is already the newest version.
[17:18] <vector> ppcblaster: it's case-sensitive so make sure you do "cd Downloads" and not "cd downloads"
[17:18] <ppcblaster> ok
[17:18] <vector> haha... imgx64 beat me to it
[17:18]  * cptahab313 says tuff turd
[17:19] <ppcblaster> what is the path to Downloads folset I need to type into terminal?

[17:25] <dr_willis> seen several NAS reviews at tomshardware. so id say check there.

[17:26] <dr_willis> tomreyn:  install the gnome tweak tool to get access to some extra settings
[17:26] <tomreyn> thanks dr_willis
[17:26] <MonkeyDust> tomreyn: it's called advanced settings

[17:27] <AndroidLoverInSF> will kde 4.7 run alright on 10.10?  i want to upgrade my kde on 10.10 if its possible?
[17:27] <dr_willis> bytesaber_work:   i have seen stand alone nas that can do that
[17:27] <tomreyn> MonkeyDust: what's called "advanced settings"?
[17:27] <sabayon> hello world !
[17:27] <dr_willis> tomreyn:  the gnome tweak tool is called 'advanced settings' in the menus
[17:27] <organiks> how much longer for support on 10.10
[17:27] <bytesaber_work> linxeh, dr_willis ya, just going on the idea that i don't need to depend on him to admin anything.   just drop off and latch onto his network.
[17:27] <heyitseric> ! 10.10
[17:27] <Mathuin_> Okay, so no takers on nine-character usernames or recovering /dev/dsp?
[17:27] <bytesaber_work> and in case i have to go somewhere else, i can do the same with a new friend.
[17:27] <dr_willis> bytesaber_work:  saw a review of a NAS that could do that the other day. i think it was a new one by WD.
[17:28] <heyitseric> well that was useless
[17:28] <Pici> organiks: Its 18 months of support, so it'll be going into EOL around the time that 12.04 is released.
[17:28] <linxeh> bytesaber_work: thats the same requirement as me. I set the box up locally, and then dropped it off
[17:28] <linxeh> bytesaber_work: I can ssh in and admin it remotely
[17:28] <organiks> i might just downgrade to that 11.10 is giving me too much probs
[17:28] <linxeh> bytesaber_work: I also have a couple of the n36l microservers I mentioned, they are really good too
[17:28] <organiks> thnx
[17:29] <orated> PanArtur: I found this - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FriendlyRecoverySpec ..
[17:29] <sabayon> i cannot automount floppy as user but i can as root . why _ thx
[17:29] <dr_willis> sabayon:  user is not in the proper group, would be my guess.. and ive no idea what group they need to be in.
[17:29] <lahwran> how would I launch a screen session as a different user or attach to a different user's screen session? switching to that user and doing screen -r returns the error "Cannot open your terminal '/dev/pts/1' - please check."
[17:29] <MonkeyDust> sabayon: in sabayon or in ubuntu?
[17:29] <dr_willis> sabayon:  or you could make a fstab entry for the floppy with the users option
[17:29] <PanArtur> orated: I'm looking at this script now
[17:29] <sabayon> ubuntu
[17:30] <newuser2> if I remove a package from the ubuntu software center, will it warn me if anything else has it as a dependency?
[17:30] <guntbert> newuser2: yes
[17:30] <sabayon> it is present in fstab
[17:30] <Polah> dr_willis, sabayon: The floppy group, maybe?
[17:30] <MonkeyDust> sabayon: type cat /etc/fstab|pastebinit and paste it here, so we can see
[17:31] <sabayon> ok

[17:33] <sharkus> hello all. Quick question, trying to set grub menu order (I want Windows 7 to be default), but does not seem to be sticking (using StartUp-Manager) on 11.10
[17:33] <Polah> yagoo: I think it's that thing where you get a pencil and wave it up and down so it looks like it's bending and flopping around.
[17:33] <sharkus> I installed Windows 7 first, then 11.10.
[17:33] <Polah> yagoo: cdrom groups lets people mount CDs right, so why not the floppy group for floppies?
[17:33] <sharkus> any other grub / boot loader options I need to look at on how to get this to work.
[17:33] <dr_willis> sharkus:  rename/number the files in /etc/grub.d/##_filenames   so the   osprober is befor the others...
[17:33] <wh1zz0> wh1zz0
[17:34] <newuser2> OK, problem is fixed, I just removed desktop-base
[17:34] <dr_willis> sharkus:  rename/number /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober to be like 09_os-prober
[17:34] <dr_willis> sharkus:  then rerun sudo update-grub
[17:34] <yagoo> sharkus, edit /etc/default/grub  for _DEFAULT=  (numbering starts from 0)-- then update-grub2
[17:34] <yagoo> dr_willis, that's pretty much useless..
[17:34] <dr_willis> problem with setting the "DEFAULT" variable. is it could change if new kernels come out.
[17:34] <share> I'm gonna upgrade to LTS
[17:34] <yagoo> dr_willis, and its' update-grub2.
[17:34] <dr_willis> yagoo:  i find defaults useless..
[17:35] <sabayon> http://pastebin.com/43CeX6Ft
[17:35] <share> in 6 months
[17:35] <share> .
[17:35] <dr_willis> and update-grub and  updattee-grub2 were basically one calling the other.
[17:35] <yagoo> dr_willis, ya i saw this debate.. but it's much easier to edit /etc/default/grub.. also those config files can be updated with apt-get
[17:36] <sharkus> thanks, just following rename suggestions now
[17:36] <dr_willis> ive had the default get changed so the BEST way would be to usedd the 'saved' option
[17:36] <dr_willis> but i add mine to the 40_custome and dont even use os-prober normally
[17:36] <yagoo> sharkus, /etc/defaul/grub is documented.. i dont suggest renaming those script files..
[17:37] <dr_willis> !grub2
[17:37] <sabayon> ?
[17:37] <benjamin_> hi
[17:37] <dr_willis> grub2 is very well documented sharkus  - worth reading up on.
[17:37] <sharkus> fan-blooming-tastic, Windows 7 now topmost and thus default option. Thanks :-)
[17:37] <dr_willis> im not even sure that startup-manager tool even works properly in 11.10, it had issues in 11.04 i recall.
[17:38]  * yagoo oh no.. not a Windows default boot
[17:38] <yagoo> pff
[17:38] <sharkus> I've got the Grub2 page on help.ubuntu open, so will have a read, am just impatient, well, wifey is, it's her machine
[17:38] <yagoo> dr_willis, congratulations on having Windows as a Default Boot. Congratulations.
[17:38] <PanArtur> orated:  i'm not too good in bash script, but I thint that the problem is at the beginning of recovery-menu
[17:38] <yagoo> pff
[17:38] <yagoo> kids..
[17:38] <sabayon> (*(
[17:38] <sharkus> yeah, I know, her HD died the other night (thanks to all for the help on that) got a new one, stuck W7 and 11.10 on it, will wean her off W7
[17:38] <dr_willis> yagoo:  actually i just hit F# to boot my linux hd.. or windows hd.. i dont even  use grub to boot windows..
[17:39] <jason___> How can I put an ISO on a flash drive without using startup disk creator?
[17:39] <sharkus> once again, thank you all, fantastic help <hands out virtual beverages to all>
[17:39] <sharkus> ttfn
[17:39] <benjamin_> if you move the gnome3 (fallback mode) top panel away you can see a menu bar at the top (like in windows). how to remove that...
[17:39] <dr_willis> jason___:  11.10 can use the 'dd' command to make a bootable flash from the iso file.
[17:40] <oOze> jason___, unetbootin or dd
[17:40] <dr_willis> jason___:  or other image to flash tools.
[17:40] <jason___> dr_willis: oh nice! I take it previous versions could not? Because I recall trying to DD an ISO and it failed...
[17:40] <dr_willis> jason___:  its a new feature in 11.10
[17:40] <jason___> dr_willis: nice.
[17:40] <lapion> telepathy-butterfly does not always stop when exiting empathy.. when starting empathy again, have to manually kill telepathy-butterfly
[17:40] <jason___> dr_willis: do you know if I can break an ISO into 2 sections so I can use two CDs instead of 1 DVD? I dont think the system I'm dealing with USB boots and it has no DVD drive. Severe pickle. :/
[17:41] <dr_willis> jason___:  Huh? why do you need to fit a cd onto 2 cds?
[17:41] <Guest77764> guys i hate you all =)
[17:41] <jason___> dr_willis: the PPC Ubuntu image is oversized @ nearly 750MB.
[17:41] <dr_willis> You can setup a flash drive to have a menu to boot differnt isos
[17:41] <jason___> dr_willis: I have no DVD drive and this system won't USB boot.
[17:41] <jason___> dr_willis: this is an old mac system or else I could break it open and swap parts the wya I want :
[17:41] <jason___> :/
[17:41] <dr_willis> no idea on PPC.  - but with intel/grub2 it can boot iso files.
[17:42] <Polah> dr_willis; You can add a few lines to your GRUB configuration to boot ISOs without requiring a CD or USB.
[17:42] <jason___> dr_willis: well 11.10 has a community PPC port... so I would think it'd be the same considering grub2
[17:42] <Polah> jason:  You can add a few lines to your GRUB configuration to boot ISOs without requiring a CD or USB.
[17:42] <dr_willis> Polah:  yes.. i do that normally
[17:42] <dr_willis> jason___:  not sure grub2 works on ppc.
[17:42] <Polah> dr_willis: Yeah, mean to send it to jason_. My bad
[17:42] <jason___> dr_willis: gahhh youre right. It's yaboot.
[17:42] <lapion> jason___, the trick is to copy the contents of the iso image to a usb stick..
[17:42] <jason___> lapion: no, that's the easy part.
[17:42] <jason___> lapion: the hard part is getting a box with a 750mb image, yet no DVD and no usb boot avaailble
[17:43] <dr_willis> no idea  if the dd trick works with ppc either
[17:43] <jason___> dr_willis: I think DD would be agnostic. ISO is ISO.
[17:43] <jason___> lapion: my only option is CD, and CD is limited @ 750mb
[17:44] <dr_willis> some of he ubuntu beta iso's were larger then a single also...
[17:44] <lapion> jason___, force burn on a cd, the resulting cd will boot, as soon as the kernel and ramdisk image loaded extract the cd, the system will automatically detec the usb stick as the default installation media
[17:44] <jason___> lapion: how do I force burn when it wont le tme burn due to being too small?
[17:44] <lapion> s/extract/eject/
[17:44] <orated> PanArtur: No problem. I think ncurses-based menu requires whiptail or something like that. Anyway, thanks a lot for your time.
[17:45] <jimmy8888> hi does someone know how to change the launcher icon size in unity 2d (11.10) ?

[18:00] <kirindave> But it seems like after installing the nvidia package I still can't get it to use my discrete graphics card.
[18:01] <dr_willis> mr__:  installed how exactly? a .deb package?
[18:01] <vector> kirindave: optimus is not supported in linux like it is in windows.... there are things (bumblebee?) that you can use to switch to discrete though
[18:01] <kirindave> nvidia-xconfig is not on my system, so I dunno what else to try?

[18:06] <HackeMate> i read in somewhere 11.10 just comes with that new strange desktop

[18:09] <Zutara> meh
[18:09] <Zutara> Gnome 3 Looks cooler.
[18:09] <Polah> HackeMate: It's no longer under development.
[18:09] <SharkMonkey> Gnome 2 works cooler.
[18:10] <heyitseric> Encoreguy, we are all here to help but you need to ask a question
[18:10] <Encoreguy> I was using Ubuntu 11.04 now I have 11.10 with the same issue.  When I turn computer on most times the bluetooth doesnt work.  I have to turn it off then back on for it to recognize devices.  Once I turn it on it works fine until the next time I shut the computer down then back on.  More of an annoyance than anything
[18:10] <HackeMate> in gnome 2 at least i have menues to open my apps, not a bunch of icons that i didnt select
[18:10] <HackeMate> and i dont know what are they for
[18:10] <_trine> gnome 3 looks like a Microsoft derivative
[18:10] <_trine> and Unity
[18:10] <HackeMate> why imitate then
[18:11] <SharkMonkey> No it doesn't. I don't like it, but I would nto call it a microsoft derivative
[18:11] <Polah> _trine: Unity is a shell for GNOME3.
[18:11] <HackeMate> is gubuntu gnome2?
[18:11] <Polah> !ot | HackeMate, SharkMonkey, _trine
[18:11] <Pici> HackeMate, _trine: This is a support channel, not a 'complain about desktops channe', can we get back on-topic please?
[18:11] <_trine> Polah, yes I know I have to use it now
