[00:02] <geirha> rpg32: Don't look for topic experts. Just ask.
[00:02] <nicekiwi> hey I had Ubuntu installed inside windows, but somehow the Grub menu thing on the windows drive got messed up and errors when I try to boot into windows. How can I fix that?
[00:05] <Fyodorovna> nicekiwi, so what do you get when you power on now MS bootloader or grub
[00:05] <rpg32> well i was just wondering if anyone could help me gain better understanding about database normalization... specifically i was wondering if it makes sense to have a database of dates with date ids for a social networking site
[00:05] <berevgia> i was trying to "fix" my wired network and i broke everything in my ubuntu machine (now im using my mac), not even the wireless is working, i lost the network icon and been playing a lot, i think that the problem is the file /etc/network/interfaces, is there any standard way it should look like? the only two lines i have are: auto lo \n iface lo inet loopback. I'm trying to connect using wpa_supplicant, but the interfaces file looks very different from min
[00:06] <rpg32> since dates will be stored for various things... i.e. when were you born, when did you graduate, so on
[00:06] <nicekiwi> Fyodorovna: something like "cannot find device: 43h2iu4h234h324h23oh4jj2i3 <- some random string of numbers and letter, then the grub commandline comes up
[00:06] <Fyodorovna> nicekiwi, so no bootloader but maybe this grub>
[00:07] <LBo> Does anyone know where the remmina (remote desktop) config is stored?
[00:07] <nicekiwi> Fyodorovna: oh yeah
[00:07] <penta> hi guys, I find that the search feature (Alt-F2) of Unity is very unresponsive...
[00:07] <tr33m4n> rpg32, try asking at #sql
[00:07] <penta> it seems like it's completely ignoring the keyboard
[00:07] <pythonsnake> penta: does it come up after you wait?
[00:08] <Fyodorovna> nicekiwi, you had a b\grub update that overwrote the mbr if your only getting grub>  you have a restore or install disc for windows?
[00:08] <Fyodorovna> s/grub
[00:08] <penta> pythonsnake, no...
[00:08] <nicekiwi> Fyodorovna: i do.. but that didnt seem to work :/
[00:08] <Fyodorovna> nicekiwi, the autorepair does not work generally. did you try that?
[00:08] <nicekiwi> Fyodorovna: yes
[00:09] <Fyodorovna> nicekiwi, what is the windows version
[00:09] <soccermitchy> I need a 32 bit library to launch XAMPP. Any ones you know?
[00:09] <nicekiwi> Fyodorovna: windows 7 x64
[00:09] <chelz> what's a good way to get a list of all the packages in main? i have the "allpackages" file from packages.ubuntu.com but packages aren't marked with "main"
[00:09] <penta> pythonsnake, I looked at ~/.xsession-error, there is some warning, corresponding to certain keypress
[00:09] <soccermitchy> *32 bit compatibility library
[00:09] <pythonsnake> paste?
[00:10] <Fyodorovna> nicekiwi, boot the disc after language hit r for repair go to the terminal and run bootrec.exe /fixmbr
[00:10] <Fyodorovna> nicekiwi, there are other commands if this doesn't work.
[00:10] <nicekiwi> Fyodorovna: hmmm ok, brb
[00:11] <chelz> soccermitchy: you use multiarch
[00:11] <chelz> soccermitchy: http://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/Implementation
[00:11] <chelz> soccermitchy: http://www.google.com/search?q=multiarch+oneiric
[00:11] <pfifo> soccermitchy, you dont want xampp, you want a real lamp
[00:11] <soccermitchy> Ok.
[00:11] <quietone> where do I go to report a bug concerning Ubuntu wiki?
[00:11] <chelz> soccermitchy: oh wait, yeah if you want xamp then install from the repos
[00:11] <Flannel> soccermitchy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP
[00:12] <Nicekiwi_> Fyodorovna: Chnaged devices
[00:12] <soccermitchy> ?
[00:12] <quietone> I've tried launchpad and am stuck in an loop, I am logged in and it send me to a page asking me to login
[00:13] <Fyodorovna> Nicekiwi, ?
[00:13] <pfifo> soccermitchy, if you install the oficall lamp stack from the repos, you wont need any extra libs, and it will be native 64bit
[00:13] <itaylor57> !lamp | soccermitchy
[00:13] <DSee> Hello, what's a good substitute for "curlpaste" for Ubuntu? something you can paste the results of a command/program to (pastebin) automatically?
[00:14] <chelz> DSee: pastebinit
[00:14] <soccermitchy> I like XAMPP better...
[00:14] <pfifo> DSee, 'pastebinit'
[00:14] <chelz> !pastebinit | DSee
[00:14] <kaiyin> GDM won't start when the machine starts, please help.
[00:14] <chelz> soccermitchy: too bad
[00:14] <chelz> soccermitchy: repos are superior
[00:14] <pfifo> soccermitchy, if you use xampp you will have headaches, not to mention, its unsupported 3rd party software
[00:15] <delerium> getting 'no space left on device' error, but it's not true
[00:15] <kaiyin> I have already done this: sudo update-rc.d gdm defaults
[00:15] <berevgia> i was trying to "fix" my wired network and i broke everything in my ubuntu machine (now im using my mac), not even the wireless is working, i lost the network icon, i think that the problem is the file /etc/network/interfaces, the only two lines i have are: auto lo \n iface lo inet loopback. I'm trying to connect using wpa_supplicant.
[00:15] <Flannel> quietone: You want to file a bug against ubuntu-website (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-website and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-website/+filebug)
[00:16] <kaiyin> But when I restart, the PC just hangs at the ubuntu logo screen.
[00:16] <pfifo> delerium, are you out of inodes?
[00:16] <quietone> Flannel, thank you. That takes me to the sign in page I can't get past
[00:16] <daftykins> berevgia: no, that file is practically empty when using network manager to manage the interfaces
[00:17] <pfifo> quietone, no wonder there has never been a bug report about it then
[00:17] <Nicekiwi> Fyodorovna: It worked!!! :D th anks you so much!!
[00:18] <Flannel> quietone: Ok, try going to regular-old launchpad.net, are you logged in? (top right)?
[00:18] <Flannel> quietone: Do you have cookies disabled or anything?
[00:18] <Fyodorovna> Nicekiwi, my pleasure. :)
[00:18] <levu> is there a channel for precise?
[00:18] <Nicekiwi> Mmmmm cookies
[00:18] <Flannel> levu: #ubuntu+1
[00:18] <berevgia> @daftykins: thanks, any suggestion on how to make the icon back? i was installing: ppa:network-manager/trunk and then i broke everything.
[00:18] <pfifo> !12.04 | levu
[00:18] <levu> Flannel: thanks
[00:19] <Flannel> quietone: The wiki says you can also go to #ubuntu-website to talk about it, so you can perhaps go there and have them help file the bug for you/etc?  They may be able to help with the launchpad issue (although that should probably be #launchpad)
[00:20] <User_007> hello, i made some changes in a package source and i want to upload it to my ppa, how can i generate a .changes so i can upload it?
[00:21] <soccermitchy> A regular lamp stack is sounding better by the minute.
[00:21] <soccermitchy> But how do I start/stop/restart all the services in that type? I'm used to typing "sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start" to start everything.
[00:22] <quietone> Flannel, sorry it was a cookie, which I has all ready checked twice. I just deleted all my blocked cookies.
[00:22] <soccermitchy> And where do my files go?
[00:23] <tr33m4n> soccermitchy, sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop/start/restart, or sudo service apache2 stop/start/restart etc
[00:23] <soccermitchy> Ok
[00:23] <tr33m4n> soccermitchy, that's for Apache, similar thing for mysql
[00:23] <soccermitchy> And the website files?
[00:23] <daftykins> berevgia: beyond me i'm afraid, can you purge reinstall network-manager ? if that's even a package
[00:24] <tr33m4n> soccermitchy, are usually located in /var/www... and setting files for apache2 are /etc/apache2, php settings /etc/php5
[00:24] <trism> User_007: debuild -S; assuming you have your keys setup
[00:24] <soccermitchy> Ok, thanks.
[00:25] <DSee> Thanks guys! pastebinit works fine :)
[00:25] <berevgia> @daftykins: that's whaty i'm googligng right now….. they talk about wicd network manager too, i'll see what i can fidn, thanks a lot!!!
[00:27] <pythonsnake> How can I install on a pc without usb port nor cd?
[00:27] <pfifo> pythonsnake, network install
[00:28] <pfifo> pythonsnake, or put the harddrive in a box with usb/cdrom
[00:28] <faissal_> hi guys, i got an issue with the osd overlay icon for volume. you know when you use the media keys on your keyboard for volume up or down, this fancy onscreen display overlay comes up and its supposed to be nice looking and all. well mine is ugly. nothing wrong with the icon in itself, its just that you see a pack of pixels instead of the actual speaker icon. it seems to be a low resolution picture. has anyone ever encountered that or has an
[00:28] <faissal_> idea ? thanks !
[00:28] <fuhreal> Hi everyone, can someone point me to the log that would show what failed to mount on boot?
[00:28] <quietone> Flannel, thanks! Second time lucky, last time I did it the bug report didn't get saved
[00:29] <pfifo> fuhreal, dmesg should have that info
[00:29] <soccermitchy> What are the package names for PHP, MySQL and Apache?
[00:30] <Flannel> quietone: Glad you got it figured out :)
[00:30] <pythonsnake> can i do it from windows?
[00:30] <wylde> soccermitchy: you could do tasksel and select lamp
[00:30] <faissal_> anyone ? please ?
[00:30] <pfifo> soccermitchy, you should be installing with tasksel
[00:31] <pfifo> pythonsnake, no
[00:31] <tr33m4n> soccermitchy, yeah as wylde said either 'sudo tasksel' or have a look at this http://www.linuxcandy.com/2011/11/how-to-install-lamp-in-ubuntu-1110.html
[00:31] <soccermitchy> Ok.
[00:31] <soccermitchy> But why tasksel?
[00:31] <fuhreal> pfifo, unfortunately its not there....
[00:31] <tr33m4n> soccermitchy, it's the safest and easiest way
[00:31] <wylde> soccermitchy: I shoud say LAMP server, is how it's listed
[00:31] <fuhreal> pfifo, it is an error displayed during the ubuntu splash
[00:32] <soccermitchy> Ok.
[00:32] <faissal_> i can provide screenshots if you want : http://i40.tinypic.com/fw3b4x.jpg
[00:33] <skorket> I have a particular USB device that crashes my computer when plugged in.  I haven't had this trouble with any other USB device.  I'm not sure if it's a software or a hardware issue (my computer has been flakey in the past with regards to hardware).  Does anyone have any suggestions on how to debug?  I'm running Ubuntu 11.10
[00:34] <wylde> skorket: I'd start by looking at dmesg and the syslog etc.
[00:34] <skorket> wylde, what am I looking for?
[00:35] <pfifo> fuhreal, if you boot witout 'quiet splash' you might get an informative message
[00:35] <wylde> skorket:  System > Administration > System Log Viewer , basically anything that looks wrong or explicitly declares an error
[00:35] <chromaticwt> is it possible to upgrade a lts release to a more modern ubuntu?
[00:36] <chromaticwt> without a clean install?
[00:36] <pfifo> chromaticwt, yes
[00:36] <wylde> skorket: I'm sure some of the more experienced in here could pop a grep thislog.log line at you to help :)
[00:37] <CharminTheMoose> Is it possible for me to edit the 11.04 initrd such that I can remove udev and just have a static set of devices in there?
[00:37] <chromaticwt> neat. is it usually a clean upgrade or can problems arise?
[00:37] <pfifo> chromaticwt, `sudo apt-get dist-upgrade`
[00:37] <pfifo> chromaticwt, I have never successfully upgraded
[00:37] <chromaticwt> pfifo: you have tried though?
[00:37] <fuhreal> pfifo, ok thanks, i'll try
[00:38] <pfifo> chromaticwt, I always try, theres always problems
[00:38] <cypher> I have upgraded from 10.04 all the way up to 11.10 without any problems
[00:38] <chromaticwt> hm...
[00:38] <chromaticwt> I will probably just do a clean install, and backup my files.
[00:39] <cypher> If you use ccsm make sure to disable it or remove it first
[00:39] <wylde> I've noticed the more you've customized the higher the chance of upgrade fail heh
[00:39] <chromaticwt> just to be sure.
[00:41] <chromaticwt> I'm more concerned about "hidden" problems with upgrades. problems that don't show up until later.
[00:42] <wylde> heh, that's why I'll putter along with my 10.04 until 12.04 becomes stable :)
[00:42] <pfifo> one time i tried to sidegrade from 9.10 to debian 6.0
[00:42] <cypher> I never had any but if you want to be 100% satisfied just do a clean install, and you won't be kicking yourself in the ass l8r on down the road
[00:42] <Fyodorovna> pfifo, didn't work so well did it, lol. :)
[00:43] <pfifo> Fyodorovna, failed upgrading upstart
[00:43] <chelz> where does one get a package list for an ubuntu iso?
[00:45] <pfifo> chelz, on the iso, look at the file casper/filesystem.manifest
[00:46] <lechevalier> goodnight for all people ... bye
[00:46] <lechevalier> à+++
[00:46] <skorket> wylde, I see where I plugged in the device in the syslog, I don't think there are any errors, then it just crashes
[00:47] <crossfader> hi
[00:47] <pfifo> skorket, what happens when you plug in the device?
[00:48] <wylde> skorket: did you happen to look in dmesg or udev?
[00:48] <crossfader> i try to boot my ubuntu kernel (on the local system) into a NFS-root-partition
[00:48] <Russ_W_> I have tested 12.04 Beta 1 64 bit Live CD and can only get to web sites by typing the IP address.  Has anyone else seen this issue?
[00:49] <PoolShark_> Russ: not me
[00:49] <pfifo> Russ_W_, join #ubuntu+1
[00:49] <skorket> pfifo, after a few seconds I am no longer able to input anything (i.e. no mouse, no keyboard).  After a few more, mplayer which was still playing in the background stops.  I have to reboot after that
[00:49] <pfifo> skorket, does unplugging it fix the issue?
[00:49] <Russ_W_> Thank you PoolShark_ pfifo
[00:49] <skorket> pfifo, no
[00:50] <pfifo> skorket, is the device known to work on other computers/operating systems
[00:50] <skorket> pfifo, I plugged it into a windows machine (running XP I think) with no issues.  It did not crash the computer and I was able to communicate with the device normally.
[00:51] <pfifo> skorket, if the device is powered, are you using a usb port that is able to provide enough power?
[00:52] <skorket> pfifo, hmm, I assume so but I don't know how to test that
[00:52] <chelz> pfifo: can't say i'm finding that file
[00:52] <pfifo> skorket, remove all other devices and then plug the device into the back of the computer if you have ports on both front and back
[00:53] <chelz> pfifo:  i have an iso mounted now, where should it be?
[00:53] <skorket> wylde, the last entry I see in dmesg is "low speed USB device number 2 using ohci_hcd".  I don't know what I'm looking for in the udev log...
[00:53] <pfifo> chelz, if it is a debian cd then it is there. /media/cdrom/casper/filesystem.manifest
[00:54] <smatic> HELLO ALL
[00:54] <dannel> HELLO
[00:54] <skorket> pfifo, All other devices aside from the mouse were unplugged when I last tried.  I also plugged it into one of the ports from the back.  I believe I even used one port that was being used for the mouse in one of my iterations.  Would you like me to unplug the mouse and try again?
[00:55] <pfifo> skorket, so you have tried in different ports as well? (was my next question)
[00:56] <clox-clox> всем привет)
[00:56] <wylde> skorket: udev log will simply give you information on the detected devices on your system.
[00:56] <skorket> pfifo, yes
[00:57] <pfifo> skorket, have you tried using it with a different usb cable?
[00:57] <skorket> pfifo, no
[00:57] <clox-clox> есть кто из России?
[00:58] <pfifo> !ru | clox-clox
[00:58] <pfifo> skorket, try a different cable, or verify that the cable you have is working
[00:58] <Nicolas_Leonida2> does server open samba ports by default when you install samba with tasksell
[00:58] <Nicolas_Leonida2> ?
[00:58] <clox-clox> #UBUNTU-RU
[00:58] <F4C3> exit
[01:01] <skorket> pfifo, I used the same cable when connecting to the windows machine
[01:01] <lilvaratep> How would I open up archive manager with command-line sudo?
[01:01] <soccermitchy> Um...The title of my CompizConfig window changed to this (exactly):58185618618asve
[01:01] <pfifo> skorket, ok, then does the device have an external power supply? If so is the power supply plugged in and turned on.
[01:02] <soccermitchy> Wth does that mean?!?!?!
[01:02] <skorket> pfifo, the device does not have an external power supply
[01:02] <dannel> soccermitchy, what did you do to it?
[01:02] <pfifo> skorket, what kind of device is this?
[01:02] <soccermitchy> I just scrolled in the window, and  it did that.
[01:03] <lilvaratep> How would I open up archive manager with command-line sudo?
[01:03] <skorket> pfifo, a duemilanuve arduino compatible board (link here: http://www.seeedstudio.com/depot/seeeduino-v30-atmega-328p-p-669.html?cPath=80)
[01:03] <pfifo> lilvaratep, you might be better off just using cli agchive tools
[01:04] <LostPW> lilvaratep maybe you want to start fileroller?
[01:04] <soccermitchy> I just closed the window, currently reopening the program.
[01:04] <LostPW> lilvaratep sry file-roller
[01:04] <aaGp> how can i check my laptop's temperature ??
[01:04] <pfifo> skorket, did this device come with linux drivers?
[01:04] <lilvaratep> LostPW: it doesn't see some directories such as Downloads when i 'sudo' it =o
[01:05] <wylde> lilvaratep: gksu file-roller <filename>
[01:05] <Oer> !lmsensors | aaGp
[01:05] <aaGp> Oer: thanks
[01:05] <soccermitchy> Is there a way to control fan speeds?
[01:06] <wylde> soccermitchy: yes fancontrol package
[01:06] <skorket> pfifo, I'm not sure.  It uses an ftdi chip which is a usb to serial chip.  All the documentation I've seen indicates that it is linux compatible and that a /dev/ device should be created that allows for serial communication to the USB device.
[01:06] <lilvaratep> Anyone know any good color schemes for C++/Java in VIM?
[01:07] <kruckss> e
[01:07] <wylde> soccermitchy: it requires lm-sensors as well, I'd get that setup first
[01:07] <soccermitchy> Ok.
[01:07] <itaylor57> lilvaratep, it should automagically show colors in vim
[01:07] <soccermitchy> Also, it there a way to run 2
[01:07] <soccermitchy> 'sudo' commands at once
[01:07] <lilvaratep> itaylor57: yes, but i wanna change to a different color scheme
[01:08] <Oer> sudo <command> && sudo <command> && sudo <command>
[01:08] <soccermitchy> ...
[01:09] <soccermitchy> I mean without it saying "E: Could not get lock for /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open(11: Resource temporarily unavailable)"
[01:09] <mjbermea> soccermitchy: Try logging out and back in. That usually frees up that error.
[01:10] <itaylor57> lilvaratep, http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Switch_color_schemes
[01:10] <soccermitchy> ...I want to keep that program running as rooot.
[01:10] <soccermitchy> It's installing my web server.
[01:10] <pfifo> skorket, press alt+ctrl+F1 to get to a console (alt+ctrl+F7 to get back) and then plug in the device, do you still lose keyboard support, and experience the freeze up? Does it print out any information
[01:10] <wylde> soccermitchy: you don't have to do anything with it, just let it finish
[01:11] <soccermitchy> Ok...
[01:11] <pfifo> Oer, try `sudo {<command>; <command>; <command>; }`
[01:11] <wylde> soccermitchy: if you started it with sudo it keeps root until the process finishes
[01:12] <soccermitchy> I already started it.
[01:12] <wylde> soccermitchy: I gathered that
[01:13] <soccermitchy> Owait, reading pfifo's post, directed to someone else...
[01:14] <skorket> pfifo, I have done this test.  When I plug in the device I am able to still type into the console, but am not able to 'hit return', i.e. not able to log in from a login shell and not able to execute any shell commands.  I am able to switch between consoles.  Eventually I get error messages printed out to the console that say a process has not responded in X amount of time (I think that's what the message said)
[01:15] <CharminTheMoose> Is it possible for me to edit the 11.04 initrd such that I can remove udev and just have a static set of devices in there?
[01:16] <pfifo> CharminTheMoose, yes, just replace udev with a link to true or something of that nature
[01:18] <anne_> I am getting troubles in installing sun java in Ubuntu 10.04. any help?
[01:18] <pfifo> skorket, Im stumped on this one, you best bet would be to ask around in the forums at the manufacturers website.
[01:18] <skorket> pfifo, any reason to suspect it might be faulty hardware on my side?
[01:18] <skorket> pfifo, as in a faulty connection on my usb connection, bad memory, etc?
[01:19] <pfifo> skorket, well, if it works in windows, chances are its operating correctly
[01:19] <skorket> pfifo, the device, but perhaps not my computer
[01:19] <codyc1515> Hey Gus :)
[01:19] <pfifo> skorket, my best guess is that linux is trying to use it as a serial console
[01:19] <codyc1515> *guys
[01:20] <skorket> pfifo, yes, but that shouldn't inherently cause problems, no?
[01:20] <soccermitchy> Another question: Is there a way in bash to make a screen that looks like the one in tasksel or the ubuntu server installer? If so, how?
[01:20] <pfifo> skorket, if its sending keystrokes to the device, that would explain a bit.
[01:21] <codyc1515> N00b question: I see that PHP5.4 has just been released but how come it is not yet available as an update?
[01:21] <codyc1515> http://php.net/releases/5_4_0.php
[01:21] <pfifo> soccermitchy, your looking for the ncurses library
[01:22] <skorket> pfifo, hmm...But you don't think there's any reason to suspect it might be hardware on my desktop that could be causing the problem?
[01:22] <soccermitchy> pfifo:  Any docs?
[01:22] <tr33m4n> codyc1515, probably will be available in 12.04
[01:22] <wylde> soccermitchy: man ncurses
[01:22] <codyc1515> tr33m4n: shouldn't it be available sooner?
[01:22] <ch33z> anyone seen Chippzz in the chat?
[01:22] <soccermitchy> Completely forgot about 'man'
[01:22] <pfifo> skorket, if your desktop had faulty hardware, then you would have problems with other devices too
[01:23] <rexor> codyc1515, becouse it need to be tested, most of administators and developers don't wan't to change evoirnament indementli
[01:23] <rexor> codyc1515, becouse something could not work
[01:23] <codyc1515> ah true
[01:23] <pfifo> soccermitchy, you might prefer the 'screen' program for interactive shells
[01:23] <skorket> pfifo, which I sometimes do...my computer seems pretty flakey at times.  It has crashed before when plugging in my USBtinyISP, though that hasn't happened in a while
[01:23] <soccermitchy> Ok.
[01:24] <skorket> pfifo, in fact I remember it doing that quite a bit before I upgraded to a newer version of Ubuntu, so I assumed it was a software issue
[01:24] <rexor> codyc1515, but ofc if u wan't u can download package and compile and install it by yourself
[01:24] <codyc1515> rexor: that can take a really long time though
[01:24] <soccermitchy> What is the ncurses package name?
[01:25] <ch33z> ?
[01:25] <pfifo> codyc1515, yes compiling PHP takes a long time
[01:25] <ch33z> hmm
[01:25] <ch33z> what do you mean?
[01:26] <pfifo> soccermitchy, ncurses if a library for C programmers to use in their software http://www.gnu.org/software/ncurses/
[01:26] <pfifo> is a*
[01:26] <tr33m4n> codyc1515, here's a similar question to yours with a solution http://askubuntu.com/questions/109404/php-5-4-0-update-apt-get-update-brings-me-to-5-3-6
[01:27] <lwizardl> okay I need some help. on my usb keyboard the right side which has the numlock etc on it is not working for the numbers even when i turn the numlock on or off but keys 7 9 1 3 are now controlling the mouse. Any ideas on how to fix that ???
[01:28] <codyc1515> tr33m4n: cool, so its basically an alternate repo that offers newer versions of things
[01:28] <tr33m4n> codyc1515, yes, in this case php5.4
[01:28] <soccermitchy> pfifo: I need a bash one.
[01:29] <jrib> lwizardl: ctrl-shift-numlock
[01:29] <pfifo> soccermitchy, what exactly are you trying todo?
[01:29] <lwizardl> shift+numlock fixed that thanks
[01:30] <eboy> Does Ubuntu 11.10 use GTK+3?
[01:30] <dannel> yes
[01:30] <eboy> thanks
[01:30] <geirha> soccermitchy: You probably want whiptail or dialog
[01:32] <geirha> soccermitchy: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashFAQ/040 explains how to use dialog in a shell script. whiptail will be similar.
[01:33] <Ubuntunub> */10 * * * * rsync <rest of command here>                        Does that look right for running every 10 minutes?  Trying to read the man page and a guide, but I'm not certain that actually works the way I think it will.
[01:33] <jrib> Ubuntunub: yes
[01:34] <Ubuntunub> jrib:  Thanks.  :)
[01:34] <lilvaratep> How do I resize the VIM window in terminal? I can't click-drag, only maximize
[01:34] <geirha> Ubuntunub: Note that there are two crontab manuals. crontab(1) and crontab(5). The latter explains the file format; man 5 crontab
[01:35] <geirha> lilvaratep: :resize and :vertical resize
[01:36] <soccermitchy> Sorry, was AFK.
[01:36] <soccermitchy> I am trying to make a menu to send setting via variables in a bash script to launch a program.
[01:37] <Mrhill> wine problem with fivebyfive it will not run
[01:37] <dannel> what is the error
[01:37] <lilvaratep> Oh boy, I'm in love... drag and drop to side of screen to maximize to that side just like w7!
[01:37] <Mrhill> no error
[01:37] <dannel> run it from console and you should see an erorr
[01:37] <dannel> from terminal, i meant
[01:38] <Mrhill> ok iwill try that
[01:38] <lilvaratep> Does anyone program with VIM in terminator?
[01:40] <soccermitchy>  Brb
[01:42] <soccermitchy> Back
[01:43] <BlouBlou> what works better? Nvidia official driver or nouveau?
[01:43] <BlouBlou> I mean what has better perfomance
[01:43] <BlouBlou> which one
[01:43] <wylde> BlouBlou: depends if you want 3d acceleration
[01:43] <BlouBlou> wylde: I want it, yeah
[01:43] <wylde> BlouBlou: then you need the proprietary driver
[01:44] <BlouBlou> all right, thank you :)
[01:45] <Mrhill> I found fivebyfive is for windows only.
[01:46] <Mrhill> i don't know ho to run it in wine

[01:55] <lilvaratep> Hi, I'm new to VIM and for some reason it just froze...
[01:56] <lilvaratep> The cursor still blinks and it's stuck on INSERT mode
[02:01] <soccermitchy> Is there a package for ncurses?
[02:02] <wylde> soccermitchy: aptitude search ncurses
[02:03] <soccermitchy> Ok
[02:03] <spacebug-> soccermitchy: or apt-cache search ncurses
[02:03] <pfifo> !info libncurses5 | soccermitchy
[02:04] <wylde> spacebug-:  yeah, just the aptitude console output is easier to read heh
[02:04] <spacebug-> wylde: yes but aptitude is not installed by default in never versions of ubuntu
[02:04] <spacebug-> newer*
[02:05] <spacebug-> I liked aptitude but have begun to change to apt-get / apt-cache
[02:05] <wylde> spacebarbarian: my bad then, I'll keep that in mind thanks :)
[02:05] <spacebug-> its ok hehe
[02:06] <wylde> spacebug-: I use apt-cache and apt-get plenty, was just looking to make it easier for soccermitchy to find
[02:06] <wylde> :)
[02:08] <aaGp> wish game for ubuntu u guys recommend me?
[02:08] <spacebug-> oki doki. and yes easy is always good
[02:08] <haylo> what should i put on my netinstall for wireless? will nm-applet be potentially sufficient?

[02:09] <aaGp> like world of war
[02:09] <aaGp> some like that
[02:10] <Fyodorovna> EpiCam, that is a #ubuntu-offtopic question this is ubuntu support
[02:10] <EpiCam> sorry
[02:10] <Fyodorovna> EpiCam, no biggie not everyone knows. :)
[02:11] <chroot> gcc for windows?
[02:11] <chroot> is there a gcc for win?
[02:11] <lilvaratep> yes
[02:11] <lilvaratep> There's a terminal emulator for windows as well
[02:12] <itaylor57> cygwin
[02:12] <lilvaratep> But, in cmd you can gcc
[02:12] <Fyodorovna> aaGp, there is a wiki on what actually run in linux, and ones that run in wine.
[02:12] <chroot> lilvaratep, I want to use gcc in win,
[02:13] <chroot> first I need to install cygwin?
[02:13] <itaylor57> chroot, ask in #wine
[02:13] <chroot> ok
[02:13] <itaylor57> or #windows
[02:15] <aaGp> Fyodorovna: ¬¬
[02:17] <waxstone> is there an easy way to get sun jde onto ubuntu?
[02:17] <Fyodorovna> aaGp, yes
[02:18] <lilvaratep> Name cool things to run in your terminator terminal!
[02:19] <lilvaratep> !java
[02:19] <lilvaratep> !topic java
[02:19] <lilvaratep> !list java
[02:19] <lilvaratep> !channels
[02:20] <waxstone> i need ot install netbeans a programming ide which requires this sun JDE
[02:20] <Fyodorovna> aaGp, I don't speak Arabic so what ever that is only suits you.
[02:22] <itaylor57> waxstone, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Netbeans
[02:22] <waxstone> found this Oracle (Sun) Java 6 is no longer available to be distributed by Ubuntu, because of license issues. :(
[02:22] <dannel> old news
[02:22] <waxstone> thanks iraylor57 and lilvaratep
[02:22] <dr_willis> very old news :)
[02:23] <lilvaratep> What did I say? lol
[02:24] <waxstone> old news is new to someone new to ubuntu and linux
[02:24] <Ebron> How would I go about temporarily suspending services (across boots) from the terminal?
[02:25] <Ebron> I don't want to remove them, only stop them across boots for some time
[02:25] <itaylor57> waxstone, you might find this helpful http://www.webupd8.org/2011/09/how-to-install-oracle-java-7-jdk-in.html
[02:25] <dr_willis> Ebron,  rename  the services /etc/init/whatever.conf to be whatever.DONTRUN   (is one way)
[02:26] <Canadian1296> In irssi, how do I change between the rooms that I'm in?
[02:26] <Muser> control+n, control+p
[02:26] <Muser> (emacs keybindings)
[02:26] <dr_willis> alt-# Canadian1296  i belive. is one way. or alt-left/right arrows also
[02:26] <Ebron> dr_willis: is that the hacky way?
[02:26] <dr_willis> irssi homepage has some good docs.
[02:26] <dr_willis> Ebron,  not that im aware of.
[02:26] <haylo> sorry to be a pain, but is there a gui for network-manager i can use in my ubuntu 11.04 netinstall. i installed it and ran it
[02:27] <aaGp> Fyodorovna: whatever man.
[02:27] <waxstone> itaylor57: thanks again, reading up on these links
[02:27] <Canadian1296> Muser: That worked like a charm thanks
[02:27] <Ebron> dr_willis: as in that the service would try to be started but oops no config file as expected?
[02:27] <prappl93> I'm not sure if this should be directed towards this channel or elsewhere, but my Adobe Flash Player won't let me enable my webcam for video chat on Ubuntu 11.10. Is there an easy way to fix this?
[02:27] <dr_willis> Ebron,  last i looked the upstart standards/docs basically said to rename the file. or edit the file and add some option to tell it to not start
[02:27] <dr_willis> Ebron,  that is the file that starts the service.
[02:27] <Canadian1296> dr_willis: I tired your way too, but it took me out and back into irris (I'm on a mac, irssi though macports)
[02:28] <Ebron> dr_willis: thank you
[02:28] <dr_willis> Canadian1296,  out to where?
[02:28] <qazokm> hm
[02:28] <cypher> i cant get my internal mic to work with skype ..i tried all the forums and google...anyone have ideas?
[02:28] <cypher> i got an acer aspire one
[02:28] <qazokm> hm
[02:30] <Fyodorovna> aaGp, mu thoughts exactly. :)
[02:30] <Fyodorovna> my*
[02:31] <lilVaratep> !non ubuntu
[02:31] <lilVaratep> anyone know chan for ubuntu(non ubuntu-related)
[02:31] <Canadian1296> dr_willis: I have no idea. Like i open terminal, and type irssi, and it starts. for me alt + left arrow brings me back to the prompt where I started irssi from, (no new prompt, as irssi is stil running)
[02:32] <aeon-ltd> lilVaratep: #ubuntu-offtopic ?
[02:32] <lilVaratep> aeon-ltd ty
[02:32] <dr_willis> alt-left would eventually take you to the initial server 'window' of irssi  where server messages are - i belive
[02:33] <prappl93> I'm not sure if this should be directed towards this channel or elsewhere, but my Adobe Flash Player won't let me enable my webcam for video chat on Ubuntu 11.10. Is there any way for me to fix this?
[02:33] <Cyndar> is anyone around that might be able to give me some advice? it's in regards to forcing a wine window to use 16 bit color depth. after checking the man pages i can't find a setting for it. i've also tried switching X to use 16bpp by default but i can't find xorg.conf in the usual places i'd go to edit it. i'm using xubuntu with wine 1.3
[02:38] <arand> Cyndar: By default there is no xorg.conf, If you need to set specific settings, just create one.
[02:40] <Cyndar> arand: tried that. i stopped X, ran sudo Xorg -configure but it said configuration failed. it still created the config file so i tried putting it in /etc/X11 and rebooting but it was still in 24bpp. did i miss a step?
[02:42] <arand> Cyndar: I'm afraid I don't know much more than what and where in this case.
[02:42] <prappl93> My Flash player freezes whenever I go into the settings to change them. Is there a way to fix this?
[02:42] <prappl93> I'm running on Ubuntu 11.10
[02:42] <Cyndar> arand: thanks for trying. been at this for hours now.
[02:43] <brad[]> Hi folks, super basic question here. Are there alternative themes for Unity?  Purple is cute but dangit.
[02:45] <waxstone> thanks ubottu
[02:45] <Fyodorovna> brad[], you mean the spash?
[02:46] <L3top> ello
[02:46] <L3top> Ok... I am not familiar with oneiric desktop
[02:47] <L3top> Can someone navigate Drathe to find his defunct windows drive?
[02:47] <L3top> from live dvd
[02:47] <brad[]> Fyodorovna: I know I can change the wallpaper and the dash color changes which is pretty slick
[02:47] <L3top> What he descrives is not what I expect to see
[02:47] <L3top> describes*
[02:47] <brad[]> Fyodorovna: main thing I want to do is use a theme other than ambiance or radiance
[02:48] <brad[]> Fyodorovna: I've enabled Adwaita using gnome tweak tool but it doesn't quite work right and I've found a lot of other themes arent quite proper
[02:48] <brad[]> It seems like a theme has to have very specific properties to be compatible with the Unity desktop
[02:52] <Fyodorovna> brad[], I'm not sure about extra themes I was looking at the web yesterday about this and found links like this with ppa's not sure really. http://www.redmondpie.com/4-beautiful-ubuntu-unity-themes-complete-with-how-to-download-and-install/
[02:55] <KI7MT> I like that Elementary theme, pretty nice.
[02:55] <wchan_> is there a linux command to extract lines of a file between N and M ... for example the 5th to 10th line?
[02:55] <brad[]> Fyodorovna: interesting
[02:55] <wchan_> i know there's head / tail  .. but those extract from the beg on end...
[02:56] <brad[]> Fyodorovna: wonder if those will work in 12.04
[02:57] <L3top> wchan... yes...
[02:57] <KI7MT> wchan_, yeah, use awk but Im not sure the exact string, would ahve to play aournd with it for a while. ask in #awk they'll know straight away.
[02:57] <wchan_> KI7MT: tx
[02:57] <wchan_> thx
[03:04] <angelleye> So I had some virtual hosts configured in apache, but it was all default mod_php.  I was having permissions issues, so I installed SuPHP, but now my PHP pages won't load correctly on the server.  I've searched and searched and everything says I just need to make sure my directories are 755 and my files are 644.  They are.  I still can't get past this.  Would love some advice, please.
[03:06] <Dnerd> POOP :D
[03:07] <KI7MT> wchan_, if your still here it would be somethign like this: cat <file-name> | awk 'NR>=5&&NR<=9' "file"
[03:07] <wchan_> KI1MT: i just ended up doing a head then a tail lol
[03:07] <KI7MT> wchan_, or just using: awk 'NR>=5&&NR<=9' "file"
[03:08] <wchan_> KI7MT: not the most efficient . but it works.
[03:08] <KI7MT> Yeah, you didn't say best method :-), just one that works :-)
[03:08] <lilVaratep> How can I get terminator terminal to make a noise whenever someone says my name in irssi?
[03:09] <Fyodorovna> brad[], you would have to check the ppa's
[03:09] <kantlivelong> hey all.. is there a way i can record my mic to a buffered pipe?
[03:09] <kantlivelong> erm file
[03:11] <Drathe> okay
[03:11] <Drathe> Question
[03:11] <Canadian1296> Is it possible to get irssi to beep every time someone says my name?
[03:11] <Drathe> if i Unmount my 80 Gig file system, will i have na option to Remount it or another drive?
[03:12] <KI7MT> wchan_, here's one for range: same concept though: awk 'BEGIN{min=2;max=5}
[03:12] <KI7MT> {
[03:12] <KI7MT>  if (NR>=min)
[03:12] <KI7MT> {
[03:12] <KI7MT> if(NR<=max)
[03:12] <KI7MT> print
[03:12] <FloodBot1> KI7MT: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:12] <Drathe> or how do i make this derm thing show me drive 1... it shows drive 2
[03:12] <dr_willis> Drathe:  drive 2 meaning?
[03:12] <Drathe> okay i have 2 Hd's on my pc
[03:13] <Drathe> one is 80gig other is 150 or so.. it only shows me the 80gig
[03:13] <Drathe> i need to see the 150 gig drive to move a few files so i can reinstall windows
[03:13] <dr_willis> 2 drives or one hd with 2 partitions
[03:13] <Drathe> two hard drives
[03:13] <Drathe> one has windows OS and this Ubuntu
[03:13] <Drathe> the other hard drive has only games and such
[03:14] <dr_willis> mount them by hand if you want total cobtrol
[03:14] <dr_willis> !mount
[03:14] <Drathe> xD why cant it just show me lol -grumble-
[03:14] <dr_willis> if a ntfs is shown as needing checked the system wont moynt it. for safty
[03:15] <dr_willis> is a commin reason
[03:16] <KI7MT> Unless you ahve an fsck in init.d
[03:16] <Drathe> oh dear god
[03:16] <Drathe> there is no simpler way?
[03:16] <Drathe> like an application? XD
[03:16] <Drathe> LOL
[03:16] <KI7MT> just create a ount point, mount the drive, do your buiz, and umount it.
[03:16] <dr_willis> learn how to mount by hand... its not that complex
[03:16] <Drathe> -.-
[03:17] <Drathe> i dont need to learn i have no intentions of using ubuntu ever again XD
[03:17] <dr_willis> goodby then.
[03:17] <Chipzzz> lol
[03:17] <Drathe> well now thats just rude...
[03:17] <KI7MT> it's real easy: mkdir /mnt/some-name .. mount /dev/-your-drive /mnt/some-name job done.
[03:17] <Trippwyre> Anyone know if there is a specific channel dealing with networking ip addressing and subnets? or able to answer a question for me?
[03:18] <Chipzzz> seemed a measured response to me
[03:18] <Drathe> Ki tyvm.. im assuming name is my login yes?
[03:18] <angelleye>  in WHM on my live server there's a section called "Configure PHP and SuExec" and in there is a drop down that allows me to change the PHP 5 Handler from suphp, dso, fcgi, and cgi.  so that must issue some sort of command when I submit a change here, right?  Any idea what the equivelant is in Ubuntu?
[03:19] <L3top> Drathe: type mount | grep sd
[03:19] <L3top> figure out what your drive is first...
[03:19] <Drathe> L3top id say i love you <3 hehe
[03:19] <L3top> and if i remember correct... you have a dual boot on the one drive...
[03:19] <L3top> is that right?
[03:19] <KI7MT> angelleye, thoseare python scripts that do all config work in WHM/cPanel
[03:20] <prappl93> I got my Adobe Flash issue fixed, but now the audio quality is very bad and choppy. Could this be a sound-card issue or something else?
[03:20] <dr_willis> !uuid
[03:20] <dr_willis> mount would not show a unmounted filesystem
[03:20] <L3top> duh
[03:21] <L3top> However it would show the drives that it has mounted, to disregard as the drive that wont ;)
[03:22] <Drathe> L3top will you PM me please?
[03:22]  * L3top guessing his non mounting drive is sda1... just wanted to make sure it wasnt already mounted
[03:22] <okum> anyone know why my normal ubuntu login desktop wouldn't be working? (i have to use ubuntu 2d)
[03:23] <dr_willis> 3d drivers not working would be a common reeaso okum
[03:24] <okum> dr_willis: all i did was installed gnome-session-fallback and then uninstalled it.
[03:24] <okum> dr_willis: shall i check for drivers?
[03:25] <dr_willis> okum:  always a good idea
[03:26] <dr_willis> test with a newly made user is a good test also
[03:27] <sylasL> Hello?
[03:28] <Canadian1296> sysdoc: Hi
[03:28] <sylasL> hi there
[03:28] <sylasL> i'm looking for a little help, anyone have the time?
[03:28] <CFHowlett> sylasL   ask away
[03:28] <sylasL> oh, thank you!
[03:29] <sylasL> just intalled ubuntu on my old computer.. now having problems getting wireless working
[03:29] <dr_willis> bbl
[03:29] <sylasL> have tried looking at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#Installing_b43_drivers
[03:29] <CFHowlett> sylasl what version of ubuntu and what type of computer
[03:30] <sylasL> and searching ubuntu forums, but hoped one-on-one would be more successful
[03:30] <Canadian1296> sylasL: And what type of wireless (wep, wpa, wpa2...)
[03:30] <sylasL> let's see..
[03:31] <metaspike> im missing a driver, so i try to compile from https://github.com/ambrosa/DVB-Realtek-RTL2832U-2.2.2-10tuner-mod_kernel-3.0.0, and I get "fatal error: dvb-usb.h: no such file or directory" . this displeases me much, why is this? i have linux headers. why no compile! :(
[03:31] <Your_Dog> test
[03:31] <sylasL> ubuntu 11.10; compaq presario, wireless wpa
[03:32] <CFHowlett> sylasL   run the following command and paste it please lspci -vvnn | grep 14e4
[03:32] <Canadian1296> Can someone say my name? (I want to test something about my client)
[03:32] <CFHowlett> !paste|sylasl
[03:32] <sylasL> i've been messing around with the b43 driver
[03:32] <rypervenche> Canadian1296:
[03:33] <Canadian1296> rypervenche: Thanks :)
[03:33] <calebu2> Hi there
[03:34] <tr33m4n> sylasL, I use Broadcom drivers on my system... The easiest way I found to install them was being navigating to pool/restricted/b/bmwl on my installation media and installing them from there, or if you're connected via ethernet install from repos
[03:35] <sylasL> CFHowlett, is BCM4318 helpful?
[03:35] <tr33m4n> sylasL, jockey should mention about installing them as well, if not run gksudo jocket-gtk
[03:35] <CFHowlett> sylasL   exactomundo!
[03:35] <calebu2> I'm having trouble finding a repository with sun Java for an armel device.
[03:35] <CFHowlett> sylasL   does your computer have hardwired internet access or is it off-line
[03:35] <tr33m4n> sylasL, *jockey-gtk
[03:36] <escott> calebu2, sun java 6 was removed from the repos a few months ago
[03:36] <calebu2> Is there a solution because iced tea is not stable
[03:36] <sylasL> off line...
[03:37] <calebu2> Is there a legit way to get it that doesn't go through the standard repositories?
[03:37] <CFHowlett> sylasL   OK from the broadcom wireless tutorial, you should use b43 - No internet access to set it up, right?
[03:37] <escott> calebu2, download it from oracle.com
[03:37] <Quan-Time> is anyone aware of a way to get pidgin IM installed on 11.10 ? Ive tried a variety of ways, still cant get it installed.. help ?
[03:37] <lilVaratep> Anyone know how to get TERMINATOR to BEEP?
[03:37] <sylasL> tr33m4n, if i navigate there, i cannot see any bmwl folder, the "b" file is empty as far as i can tell.
[03:38] <CFHowlett> lilVaratep   terminator is an irrsi app?  You should as the irrse channel -
[03:38] <calebu2> I couldn't figure out their site to save myself. Will take a look again but they're not exactly making it easy to find
[03:38] <xangua> Quan-Time: sudo apt-get install pidgin
[03:38] <prappl93> Quan-Time, if you hit Ctrl + Alt + T and then type "sudo apt-get install pidgin" it should work.
[03:38] <tr33m4n> sylasL, that's strange, on every recent install I've had a folder containing drivers for Broadcom
[03:38] <lilVaratep> CFHowlett TERMINATOR is a terminal emulator pretty much...
[03:39] <CFHowlett> sylasL   you don't need the bcmwl file, you need teh b43-fwcutter file
[03:39] <ztag100> Is there a way to update xubuntu to the new beta? or do I need to do a clean install?
[03:39] <sylasL> i may totally be missing something...
[03:39] <escott> calebu2, that would be consistent with oracle's stated intentions regarding java6
[03:39] <CFHowlett> sylasL   when you're ready then ...
[03:39] <sylasL> CFHowlett, i have transferred that file to my desktop
[03:39] <prappl93> I'm using a video chat website and the audio/video playback is laggy and choppy. The site uses Adobe Flash Plugin in order to work for the webcams. Does anyone know how to fix the choppiness of the playback?
[03:40] <CFHowlett> sylasL    and the *patch* file as well
[03:40] <xangua> prappl93: fact: flash sucks in linux, go complain with adobe perhaps¿
[03:40] <prappl93> xangua, do you know of anything I could use as a replacement? If so, how do I replace Flash with it?
[03:41] <KI7MT> prappl93, HTML5
[03:41] <xangua> prappl93: if you mean any of the opensource flash plugins, they don't support all the features adobe's
[03:41] <sylasL> i have that in my ...pool/main/p/patch folder, but when i click on it, nothing really seems to happen
[03:41] <Quan-Time> prappl93: no, it doesnt work that awy.
[03:42] <ztag100> is that possible?
[03:42] <prappl93> Quan-Time, is it giving you any specific errors?
[03:42] <CFHowlett> sylasL   http://paste.ubuntu.com/867706/
[03:42] <Quan-Time> prappl93: http://pastebin.com/up9UtL8p
[03:42] <sylasL> software center comes up, but the "install" button is greyed out. same problem in pool/main/b folder
[03:43] <tr33m4n> sylasL, give it a second, it may take a while on slow hardware
[03:43] <CFHowlett> sylasL   mount the patch then double click on the b43-fwcutter.deb to install it
[03:43] <Quan-Time> tried multiple ways around it, still cant seem to work it out.. tried the PPA, without it, libpurple0 HAD issues, but i *think* i resolved it
[03:43] <sylasL> will try it
[03:44] <prappl93> Quan-Time, what version of Ubuntu are you running?
[03:45] <deltaray> Hi. I have a server running Ubuntu 11.04 and the last time it booted, it got into this weird mode.
[03:45] <Quan-Time> prappl93:
[03:45] <Quan-Time>  uname -a
[03:45] <Quan-Time> Linux Shim 3.0.0-16-generic #28-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 27 17:44:39 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[03:45] <Quan-Time> GAH sorry ppls.
[03:45] <FloodBot1> Quan-Time: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:45] <deltaray> It just shows the Ubuntu loading progress screen, but no console prompt or gdm login
[03:45] <deltaray> I can't get to the console with Ctrl-Alt-F1 or Alt-F1 or F2, etc.
[03:45] <deltaray> Any ideas?
[03:45] <escott> deltaray, what does it say when you hit the up arrow?
[03:46] <deltaray> escott: nothing. It doesn't have a cursor or anything.
[03:46] <deltaray> I can connect to the server remotely and its fine other than that.
[03:46] <deltaray> I'd rather not reboot it right now.
[03:47] <deltaray> Because its running stuff.
[03:47] <escott> deltaray, what runlevel are you at?
[03:47] <deltaray> escott: when I run runlevel it says N 2, but I'm not sure what that means in upstart
[03:47] <deltaray> I'm used to init
[03:48] <escott> deltaray, 2 is the standard runlevel so thats good. if there is nothing in your logs you could see if service gdm start brings gdm up. ive seen that randomly not start before
[03:48] <deltaray> escott: I've already restart stop gdm and start gdm and that didn't bring it up.
[03:49] <sylasL> CFHowlett, didn't seem to work. not sure what i did wrong
[03:49] <escott> deltaray, and no messages in the logs as to why X is not starting?
[03:49] <sylasL> tr33m4n, the install button never ungreys.
[03:49] <xangua> Quan-Time: remove the pidgin ppa you added
[03:50] <Quan-Time> xangua: alreday done..
[03:50] <CFHowlett> sylasL   you downloaded the files in step 2,  installed in step 3 and the activated in step 4??
[03:50] <deltaray> escott: Actually, X does start, but I can't see. it
[03:50] <deltaray> escott: Full disclosure, this machine has 3 video cards. I've tried all the other DVI ports and they are all black.
[03:50] <escott> deltaray, ps aux | grep X should tell you what vt it is running on
[03:50] <tr33m4n> sylasL, possibly because you have to install dependencies first... from what I can remember you need to install patch from pool/main/p/patch and dkms from pool/main/d/dkms
[03:50] <sylasL> nooo
[03:51] <deltaray> escott: /usr/bin/X :0 -br -verbose -auth /var/run/gdm/auth-for-gdm-EIxTra/database -nolisten tcp
[03:51] <CFHowlett> sylasL   going back to the tutorial, you should use the b43 - no internet access method detailed in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#Installing_b43_drivers
[03:52] <sylasL> yes, that is what i have been trying to do. i appreciate that it is laid out there so nicely. however i am apparently unable to make this business function :/
[03:53] <escott> deltaray, hotplugging dvi could easily confuse X11. you might need to rerun xrandr to get it to rescan the available output devices. but your aux output suggests that it is not attached to a vt. mine looks like /usr/bin/X :0 -auth /var/run/lightdm/root/:0 -nolisten tcp vt7 -novtswitch
[03:53] <sylasL> without trying to be redundant, i am a real novice at this.
[03:53] <CFHowlett> sylasL   start over, do ALL the steps and we'll troubleshoot
[03:53] <sylasL> ok
[03:53] <sylasL> *thanks* for your patience!
[03:54] <CFHowlett> sylasL   no worries ...
[03:54] <deltaray> escott: ok. those are good clues. Thanks for your help.
[03:56] <Micko113> hi all, I'm in gparted live cd. what is the best tool to use to do low level format?
[03:56] <fattygofaster> is irc still used for downloading
[03:57] <sylasL> ok...step 1. when i try to go to the pool/main/b or /p files and double click on the contents... nothing happens. so if i try to right click on it and open with software center, i get a window with a greyed out install button.
[03:57] <escott> Micko113, gparted is perfectly adequate
[03:57] <deltaray> escott: It still doesn't quite explain why i can't get back to the console since there are getty's running on 1 through 6
[03:57] <Xabster> I installed the AMD64 version on a Intel Core 2 Duo - can this be the reason for my 2 crashes the past 30 minutes (fresh install)?
[03:58] <tr33m4n> sylasL, CFHowlett think the best way would appear to do things via command line using dpkg
[03:58] <escott> deltaray, it could be modesetting. usually one hears of more obvious framebuffer crashes but try !nomodeset
[03:58] <sylasL> ok.
[03:58] <Micko113> escott: what tool do I use there? There's too many
[03:58] <escott> deltaray, but if you cant get to a getty then it sounds like your framebuffer is crashed
[03:58] <sylasL> terminal open, now what, please?
[03:58] <KI7MT> Xabster, AM64 is the same as x86_64 it's just not all distro's call it out as such.
[03:59] <Xabster> i see
[03:59] <deltaray> escott: but wouldn't it be the framebuffer that is displaying this Ubuntu boot progress screen?
[03:59] <Xabster> then i'm a little confused :)
[03:59] <tr33m4n> sylasL, are you familiar with basic commands such as cd, ls etc?
[03:59] <lilVaratep> How do you make TERMINATOR terminal beep when in irssi? I already '/set' all the stuff for irssi and I even edited the config.py in /usr/share/terminator/terminatorlib/config.py to audible_something True
[03:59] <sylasL> not really.
[03:59] <CFHowlett> sylasL   sudo dpkg -i [drag and drop the b43-fwcutter here]
[03:59] <KI7MT> Xabster, with regaurds to your crashes, what is happening, and on what version of Ubuntu?
[04:00] <escott> deltaray, the kernel does modesetting in newer versions, but if X crashed the graphics hardware trying to bring it up then you could be left with the last framebuffer before the video card stopped responding
[04:00] <Xabster> it crashed during "language selection" and then again right after rebooting after the updates and trying to install firefox 10 - mouse responds and can left click/scroll but not right click, 2 terminal windows are open but i can't type in them and they dont have a menu-bar - it's 11.10 KI7MT
[04:00] <escott> deltaray, you never really know what you will get with a framebuffer crash
[04:00] <deltaray> oh that's wild.
[04:01] <calebu2> Is there a good guide to getting synaptic package installer to launch? Image I installed doesn't seem to be fully working
[04:01] <Xabster> it also appears that my keyboard isn't responding at all, KI7MT
[04:01] <calebu2> I tried some instructions I found on line no luck
[04:01] <Xabster> firefox 7 is running and i can move it around, click back and forward, but obviously can't type in any url
[04:02] <escott> deltaray, the hardware is just a clock that keeps reading and spitting out the contents of some segment of ram, but the kernel/X thinks it has already told the graphics card to scan a different region of ram. so it just keeps dumping the same old contents to the screen
[04:02] <KI7MT> Xabster, wow, that's allot of troubles .. if it crashed during install, either you have a Hardware issue, or maybe the CD was bad, did you MD5 the ISO before burning it to CD?
[04:02] <Xabster> no I did not, but I tried again and got through the install
[04:02] <escott> Micko113, are you in gparted and need to know how to use gparted. or are you in a livecd trying to figure out how to open gparted?
[04:03] <sylasL> ...ok
[04:03] <Fyodorovna> calebu2, you get any errors?
[04:03] <CFHowlett> Xabster   integrity checking an iso takes 60 seconds - just sayin ...
[04:03] <lilVaratep> How do you make TERMINATOR terminal beep when in irssi? I already '/set' all the stuff for irssi and I even edited the config.py in /usr/share/terminator/terminatorlib/config.py to audible_something True
[04:03] <tr33m4n> sylasL, has that worked?
[04:03] <Xabster> CFHowlett, yeah, i should had done that
[04:03] <deltaray> escott: Do you think I could try rmmod vesafb to fix that?
[04:03] <CFHowlett> Xabster   feel free to redeem yourself by doing so now
[04:03] <Tripp> What is the best way to find out a forgotten username?
[04:04] <Micko113> escott: I've used Hiren's Bootcd and launched it from there. So I think I'm in gparted.
[04:04] <sylasL> my computer made a noise like it was doing something and then.. nada
[04:04] <Xabster> i dont have the .iso but I do have the CD - can i do it still?
[04:04] <CFHowlett> sylasL   step #?
[04:04] <ztag100> just wondering, does ubuntu one let me backup my system settings? or just files?
[04:04] <calebu2> Nothing happens
[04:04] <escott> deltaray, see if !nomodeset is appropriate for you. also check if removing some graphics cards/setting a fixed Xorg.conf helps (so that X doesn't have to scan the pci bus but knows exactly what to use)
[04:04] <escott> Micko113, don't know what Hiren's bootcd is
[04:04] <tr33m4n> sylasL, so you did 'sudo dpkg -i name_of_deb.deb' then entered your password, and nothing?
[04:05] <Fyodorovna> calebu2, you could try gksudo synaptic from a terminal and if any errors show google them or post them.
[04:05] <CFHowlett> Xabster   we could check the cdrom to make sure you got a good burn ... of course a good burn of a bad iso is still a bad cdrom....
[04:05] <Xabster> i did verify the dvd after it was burnt, but i did not check the iso
[04:05] <KI7MT> Tripp, in a terminal: cat /etc/passwd will list all the users on the box, not the passwords fo course.
[04:05] <Fyodorovna> calebu2, be sure to use nics when responding or we don't see the response. :)
[04:06] <Micko113> escott, its a live cd that has bunch of programms that load into memory
[04:06] <calebu2> Hah. It worked from terminal. I feel silly :-)
[04:06] <Xabster> however, I rebooted and everything is back to normal - i'll look into it when it happens again =)
[04:06] <Fyodorovna> calebu2, cool.
[04:06] <deltaray> escott: I'm confused. nomodeset is a kernel boot option right? Are you suggesting I reboot?  I'm trying to avoid that if possible, but maybe its not.
[04:06] <escott> Micko113, and you are in the ubuntu channel. if you were using the ubuntu livecd i could tell you what to do. but ive never heard of this
[04:06] <KI7MT> Xabster, another possibility is a bad burn of the ISO meaning the burner is having trouble, maybe burned at too high of speed maybe.
[04:06] <Tripp> KI7MT: I am at the login prompt.  Password is not an issue, just username.  What do you mean by at a terminal?
[04:07] <escott> deltaray, if your framebuffer has crashed the only thing you can do to get the graphics back is reboot. but yes nomodeset is a kernel option. it started being necessary with 11.04?
[04:07] <Micko113> escott, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiren%27s_BootCD
[04:07] <Xabster> KI7MT, the app i used to burn the DVD spent more than a minute verifying it - i hope thats enough
[04:07] <KI7MT> Tripp, Ahh, well I wasn't much help then was I. sorry.
[04:07] <Micko113> escott, no problem
[04:07] <calebu2> Fyodorovna. I'm on a tablet. It keeps trying to auto correct your nick
[04:07] <calebu2> So I gave up :-)
[04:08] <Fyodorovna> calebu2, cool
[04:08] <Xabster> it acts REALLY strange when I try to alt-tab between programs
[04:08] <KI7MT> Xabster, I don't know just seems to be allot of errors from install, thats very rare.
[04:08] <sylasL> tr33m4n, no, it doesnt say 'name_of_deb.deb' it says 'media/Ubuntu 11.10 i386/pool/main/b/b43-fw-cutter'
[04:08] <Xabster> like, flashing and stuff
[04:08] <sylasL> tr33m4n, i pressed enter, and it never asked for my pwd
[04:09] <Fyodorovna> calebu2, did show in red the last time though I think you have got it. :)
[04:09] <tr33m4n> sylasL, yes good, I was just using an example... have you included the .deb extension on the end of the 'media/Ubuntu 11.10 i386/pool/main/b/b43-fw-cutter'?
[04:10] <Xabster> there, it just happened again - i used alt-tab and it fucked up
[04:10] <sylasL> tr33m4n ok :) no, i didn't put the .deb ext.
[04:10] <Xabster> no longer listening to my keyboard
[04:10] <Xabster> menubar on terminal gone, can't mouse-right-click
[04:10] <tr33m4n> sylasL, try that and see what happens
[04:10] <sylasL> ok
[04:10] <Xabster> is alt-tab doing something other than cycling through running programs that I don't know of? i'm a linux newbie
[04:11] <Tripp> K17MT: No Worries, I got it.  -- recovery mode, drop to root, ls /home
[04:11] <tr33m4n> sylasL, so the full command would be 'sudo dpkg -i "media/Ubuntu 11.10 i386/pool/main/b/b43-fw-cutter.deb"'
[04:11] <lilVaratep> How do you make TERMINATOR terminal beep when in irssi? I already '/set' all the stuff for irssi and I even edited the config.py in /usr/share/terminator/terminatorlib/config.py to audible_something True
[04:11] <tr33m4n> sylasL, so the full command would be 'sudo dpkg -i "/media/Ubuntu 11.10 i386/pool/main/b/b43-fw-cutter.deb"'
[04:12] <sylasL> thanks :) ok, so i got something new now
[04:12] <tr33m4n> sylasL, ignore first command i just posted
[04:12] <tr33m4n> sylasL, good
[04:12] <chillpill> hello
[04:12] <Tripp> Which actually concerns me somewhat.. I can just hit esc during boot and use recovery mode to access root... How exactly is that not a huge security hole?
[04:12] <sylasL> tr33m4n, is there any particular part you need to know?
[04:12] <calebu2> I think I need to go for a fourth OS for my tablet. 3 just isn't confusing enough
[04:13] <escott> Tripp, physical access is and always has been and always should be root access
[04:13] <tr33m4n> sylasL, not really, if it installs with no errors all is good :)
[04:13] <tr33m4n> sylasL, in theory :p
[04:13] <sylasL> oh, let's not get ahead of ourselves here
[04:13] <sylasL> we do have an error
[04:14] <tr33m4n> sylasL, what is it? is it something to do with dependencies?
[04:14] <Tripp> escott: Yet ubuntu feels the need to force sudo on people...
[04:14] <sylasL> dpkg:error: unknown option - /
[04:14] <KI7MT> Tripp, more often than not, it's much safer than root.
[04:15] <escott> Tripp, if you dont want to use sudo there are many other distributions that will gladly help you shoot yourself in the foot
[04:15] <sylasL> tr33m4n, did i enter the first initial code incorrectly?
[04:15] <KI7MT> Especially with folks that are new to Linux in general.
[04:16] <tr33m4n> sylasL, copy and paste this http://paste.ubuntu.com/867727/
[04:16] <sylasL> tr33m4n, ok
[04:16] <Tripp> escott: *chuckles* Why another distro when you can just reenable root within ubuntu in what.. 3 commands?  (yes yes *stern voice* That is not supported by #ubuntu)
[04:17] <KI7MT> Will also cause you problems as the infrastructure is setup for root-sudo
[04:18] <damo22> i have not had any issues running as root
[04:18] <ztag100> ubuntu doesn't force sudo on you
[04:18] <ztag100> you can easily switch to root user
[04:18] <ztag100> there is a setting
[04:18] <KI7MT> You would be the exception moer than the rule on a Ubuntu disto.
[04:18] <tr33m4n> sylasL, oh hang on a minute... is b43-fw-cutter a folder?
[04:19] <Tripp> you won't damo22, pretty much it is scare tactics of the younger generation afraid of responsibility
[04:19] <tr33m4n> sylasL, and is there another file inside?
[04:19] <sylasL> tr33m4n,ah, yes!
[04:19] <damo22> lol
[04:19] <sylasL> tr33m4n, i will replace the one for the other?
[04:20] <escott> Tripp, b/c if they are using another distro thats one fewer person to come into channel and say some variant of "I just chown -R /'ed, chmod -R /'ed, rm -rf /'ed and broke my system"
[04:20] <tr33m4n> sylasL, aahh! what's the name of the file inside?
[04:20] <KI7MT> That's why Im on a gentoo box, doing support for Ubuntu :-) .. root's not scary, you just need to know what your doing and allot of new linuc users don't, which is understandable.
[04:20] <damo22> obviously i dont log into X as root, thats not really too clever, but running as root in a terminal is ok
[04:21] <KI7MT> Not wise to IRC as root either, but people still do it.
[04:21] <tr33m4n> sylasL, sorry, it's quite difficult sometimes figuring things out without the actual situation in front of you :p
[04:22] <sylasL> tr33m4n, no problem at all, i am just thankful to have someone who has a better idea of what do do than me! :)
[04:22] <Tripp> I have a voip server running on a box, the only reason I log into it is for maintenance / administrative reasons.  I cannot even begin to count how many lectures I have gotten because I login as root.
[04:23] <ztag100> I always loggin to my web server as root
[04:23] <ztag100> The webserver doesn't run as root though
[04:23] <damo22> :)
[04:23] <ztag100> doing maintenance from root is fine
[04:23] <tr33m4n> sylasL, so what is the name of the file inside the folder b43-fw-cutter?
[04:24] <Tripp> someone using a box for their desktop machine obviously surfing porn as root would be bad practice, but I downloaded the ISO for Ubuntu Server and by default it forces you to use sudo
[04:24] <lilVaratep> I currently have ubuntu installed through WUBI or something through WIN7. Is there a way to make it so Ubuntu is installed into the hard drive itself without formatting the hard drive just to make partitions?
[04:24] <ztag100> Tripp: if you are using ubuntu for a server, you should be using sudo
[04:24] <ztag100> I run my server on debian
[04:25] <KI7MT> Yup, wasn't goign there, but true true :-)
[04:26] <Tripp> actually I've come to the conclusion that for my purposes distro does not really matter.
[04:26] <sylasL> tr33m4n, the name is b43-fwcutter_014-9_i386.deb
[04:26] <KI7MT> lilVaratep, You can dual boot the system having WinDoze installed first, which the preferred method.
[04:26] <tr33m4n> sylasL, ok, try copy and pasting this command instead http://paste.ubuntu.com/867732/
[04:26] <Tripp> From first login till having the server live is like 1/2 dozen commands including network and ipsec setup. lol
[04:27] <lilVaratep> KI7MT wtheck is windoze
[04:27] <KI7MT> lilVaratep, :-) Windows XP,Vista,7 etc etc: here have a read through this first.: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot
[04:28] <ztag100> The way I see it, ubuntu is for a laptop/desktop and you don't have to worry about whether or not it works
[04:28] <sylasL> tr33m4n, it looks like the "outer" file's name on my comp is b43-fwcutter, not b43-fw-cutter, should that be different?
[04:28] <ztag100> nigger`'
[04:28] <ztag100> stupid friend sent that
[04:28] <ztag100> sorry
[04:29] <KI7MT> lilVaratep, If your running WUBI now, that's not a true Linux env, it's still runnign in a Win env.
[04:29] <ztag100> I'll tell him to go beep him self
[04:29] <chipmonk> how different are osx and ubuntu? I want to use unity 3d game engine
[04:29] <Tripp> I guess I should of clarified my current sitting at home defination of server ;)
[04:29] <damo22> sylasL, why dont you use tab completion
[04:29] <tr33m4n> sylasL, ah right, yeah try changing it to that then
[04:29] <sylasL> damo22, because i have no idea what that means
[04:30] <damo22> sylasL, all you have to do is type the first bit of the name and hit tab to finish it
[04:30] <ztag100> chipmonk: in terms of end use? or interms of internals?
[04:30] <lilVaratep> KI7MT is that why I can't find .config files?
[04:30] <sylasL> tr33m4n, will try it
[04:30] <chipmonk> either
[04:30] <KI7MT> lilVaratep, not sure about that, but, if you want a true Linux / Ubuntu environment, Dual boot is a good option.
[04:31] <lilVaratep> KI7MT I thought WUBI was a dual boot that's why... because it lets me choose at system startup which OS I want =\
[04:31] <ztag100> it's not the same as a real dualboot
[04:31] <Tripp> KI7 - What's your thoughts on BSD? (can I ask that publicly..?) *shrugs*
[04:31] <ztag100> it is an application that simulates a dual boot
[04:32] <KI7MT> lilVaratep, negative, it's a set of files install within the windows environment, similar to a large applicaiton.
[04:32] <chipmonk> is there an osx emulator for linux?
[04:32] <sylasL> tr33m4n, yay! something new!
[04:32] <lilVaratep> KI7MT How do I save all my settings from this ubuntu then? I've done a LOT of work on it and customizing it.
[04:32] <ztag100> chipmonk: you might be able to run a VM, but you need to have a license
[04:32] <tr33m4n> sylasL, excellent :) only a couple more to go :p
[04:33] <sylasL> tr33m4n, reading.. unpacking.. looking more promising
[04:33] <damo22> chipmonk, afaik you can install osx inside vmware legally
[04:33] <damo22> chipmonk, as long as you own osx
[04:33] <sylasL> tr33m4n, ok, looks like we're ready for something else now
[04:33] <alvinsun> hi, everyone
[04:34] <KI7MT> lilVaratep, I've not done allot of work inside WUBI, just tested the installs for UB-QA, so maybe somebody else could chime in one that one.
[04:34] <tr33m4n> sylasL, are you sure there is nothing in pool/restricted/b?
[04:34] <chipmonk> am looking for way to play bsg online free with unity engine...which comes in osx and win7 versions only
[04:34] <sylasL> tr33m4n, i don't see anything when i open the file
[04:35]  * ztag100 is a stupid alcholic
[04:35] <Tripp> hmm is there a vmware channel?
[04:35] <ztag100> it's going to take 3 hours for my update
[04:35] <ztag100> Tripp: why vmware?
[04:35] <KI7MT> chipmonk, from my understanding, no, there's no native OSX emulator, but there are a few apps that can and do port over.
[04:35] <damo22> Tripp: what do you need to know
[04:36] <Tripp> ztag100: installation of vmware tools on a command line linux installation
[04:36] <damo22> Tripp, i just did that
[04:36] <tr33m4n> sylasL, then you'll need to download this file and some how get it to your un-connected computer http://<IP_ADDRESS>/ubuntu/pool/restricted/b/bcmwl/bcmwl-kernel-source_<IP_ADDRESS>+bdcom-0ubuntu3.2_i386.deb
[04:36] <ztag100> why do you want to use vmware?
[04:36] <Tripp> Pretty much I am getting tired of pressing crtl-alt
[04:36] <sylasL> tr33m4n, ok.
[04:36] <Tripp> ztag100: why would you not run vmware is the question
[04:37] <ztag100> use kvm instead
[04:37] <Tripp> kvm?
[04:37] <ztag100> yah, kvm and qemu
[04:38] <Tripp> what is the advantage of that?
[04:38] <minerale> Hi, is there a pre-made Ubuntu Xen Template (domU) with a paravirtualized (PV) kernel from a trusted source ?
[04:38] <Hiroolo> Hello, I'm having some trouble getting Pyrit-CUDA to work in 11.10 (/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lcuda).  I was wondering if anyone in the room uses the program?
[04:39] <sylasL> tr33m4n, ok plugged in flash drive with kernel on it
[04:40] <ztag100> Do alot of people really use ubuntu on a server?
[04:40] <tr33m4n> sylasL, ok, first we need to install a couple more files before we can install that kernel file. essentially we need to do the same command we did before, but modify it slight to install patch and dkms
[04:40] <sylasL> lead the way
[04:41] <alvinsun> hi, i am a iter
[04:42] <ganni> hi,
[04:42] <tr33m4n> sylasL, so the path in the 'sudo dpkg -i' command needs to change from b/b43-fw-cutter/b43-fwcutter_014-9_i386.deb to p/patch/name_of_your_patch.deb
[04:42] <sylasL> tr33m4n, ok
[04:46] <Tripp> ztag100: No Clue, what do you prefer?
[04:46] <ganni> I want to setup a secure mail server. Do i need to enable TLS in postfix, dovecot OR simple ssl setup in httpd is enough?
[04:46] <Blue1> wow - whatever happened to my video doesn't work?
[04:47] <sylasL> tr33m4n, all right, looks good for the patch, too
[04:47] <tr33m4n> sylasL, brilliant, now we do the same for dkms, so d/dkms/name_of_your_dkms.deb
[04:48] <malkauns_> how do u use beep  (command) with pulseaudio?
[04:49] <minerale> Is there an virtual image "ubuntu appliance" (similar to VMWare) but for xen?
[04:49] <Random832> why doesn't thunderbird show in my alt-tab list?
[04:50] <sylasL> tr33m4n, ok, looking fine
[04:51] <tr33m4n> sylasL, so now that they are both installed we need to install that kernel .deb. the best thing to do would be to copy the file from your usb drive onto your desktop
[04:51] <nt51> Hi, I'm on a MacMini4,1 (Unibody 2010 model w/ DVD drive) and I keep having trouble booting the OS. I run a dual monitor setup, and even with the boot option "nomodeset", both monitors display nothing. If I only have one monitor connected, it works just fine. What should I do?
[04:51] <nt51> This includes the LiveCD.
[04:52] <sylasL> tr33m4n, ok pasted onto desktop
[04:52] <chipmonk> trying to run setup of unity 3.5of5 in wine and get unable to elevate installer it requires administrator access....any comments
[04:52] <tr33m4n> sylasL, and then use the command 'sudo dpkg -i /home/your_username/Desktop/bcmwl-kernel-source_<IP_ADDRESS>+bdcom-0ubuntu3.2_i386.deb
[04:52] <tr33m4n> sylasL, obviously replacing your_username
[04:53] <sylasL> tr33m4n, yes, i understood it this time but thanks for being so clear :)
[04:53] <nt51> Anyone have any suggestions as to what I should do?
[04:54] <chipmonk> nt51 who made your video
[04:54] <tr33m4n> sylasL, no worries, better to be safe than sorry
[04:54] <dr_willis> nt51: install with one monitir then install the video card drivers perhaps
[04:54] <KI7MT> chipmonk, Im a bit confused here, Unity and wine don't normally go together, unless there's a Windows app called Unity.
[04:54] <RiXtEr--Home> Hey all, when doing anything with files (du -hc --total, or moving/deleteing a large amount, transferring them to another pc, etc)  my load average jumps (sometimes up above 5), any ideas on how to fix this?
[04:55] <chipmonk> unity 3.5of5 is an online gaming engine
[04:55] <dr_willis> nt51:  then hookup the other monitor
[04:55] <nt51> dr_willis, even with the video card drivers installed (which happens to be the built in neavou driver), it still displays nothing, and only half of the time I boot the system will the driver initialize.
[04:55] <Notimik> is it possible to get thunderbird to auto open the thread where the new email is?
[04:55] <KI7MT> chipmonk, Ok, no idea what that is, so I'll shut up now :-)
[04:55] <nt51> for even one display
[04:55] <Nicolas_Leonida2> is it possible to give a user read/write permission to a directory  without changing the ownership of the directory
[04:55] <sylasL> tr33m4n, should i put quotation marks around /home...deb this time?
[04:56] <chipmonk> a valid question k17mt
[04:56] <dr_willis> nt51:  you tried the actyal nvidia drivers nit the nouveau ones?
[04:56] <Notimik> Nicolas_Leonida2, put him in a group that could write to that dir
[04:56] <tr33m4n> sylasL, it's not necessary but you can do. The quotation marks are used when there are spaces in folder names
[04:56] <sylasL> ok
[04:56] <nt51> dr_willis: I have had no luck getting the actual nvidia drivers to work, only the nouveau ones will initialize and start the WM successfully...which is every other time I start the system.
[04:57] <Nicolas_Leonida2> Notimik: any other way?
[04:57] <RiXtEr--Home> Nicolas_Leonida2, xattributes?
[04:57] <dr_willis> nt51: ive had worse luck with neovu
[04:57] <chipmonk> are they nvidia drivers for mac version of video card to run in linux?
[04:57] <Notimik> Nicolas_Leonida2, make it so that other could read and write to it, guess it could be solved thru acl too
[04:58] <sylasL> tr33m4n, ok!
[04:58] <RiXtEr--Home> Nicolas_Leonida2, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_file_attributes
[04:58] <tr33m4n> sylasL, cool... I'd suggest a reboot, then see where we are from there
[04:59] <nt51> chipmonk: I haven't seen any Mac version of the 320M drivers anywhere. dr_willis: yeah, it's buggy. one time I boot the system, it'll start just fine, while if I reboot, it'll hang.
[04:59] <sylasL> tr33m4n, ok, let's see what happens
[04:59] <RiXtEr--Home> Nicolas_Leonida2, or maybe a better read ... http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/opensource/learn-to-use-extended-file-attributes-in-linux-to-boost-security/1116
[04:59] <KI7MT> Nicolas_Leonida2, you could create a group, give it R/W and add only him to the group preserving the dir ownership.
[05:02] <sylasL> tr33m4n, ok i've rebooted
[05:02] <tr33m4n> sylasL, any sign of wifi life?
[05:03] <sylasL> tr33m4n, not really.
[05:03] <KI7MT> man I hope so you all been at this broadcom issue for a while.
[05:03] <nt51> it seems like I always have some type of GPU problem on this machine...every other machine works just fine.
[05:03] <tr33m4n> sylasL, hmm. Is there a wifi toggle switch on your laptop, maybe a function key or something?
[05:03] <chipmonk> nt51 look at pastebin 867768
[05:04] <sylasL> tr33m4n, do i need to somehow further "activate" it? the wireless button isn't turning on
[05:04] <Nicolas_Leonida2> I think I got the answer, it's not possible without additional stuff such as xattributes, or acl
[05:04] <Nicolas_Leonida2> I created a folder within that folder, and made the user the owner that was a good work around
[05:04] <CFHowlett> sylasL   hardware switch would be my guess as well
[05:05] <sylasL> tr33m4n, CFHowlett just a moment
[05:05] <nt51> chipmonk: how do I get to that paste?
[05:06] <KI7MT> Nicolas_Leonida2, it's done all the time for things like web-folders, make a group, add them to group, give group r/w permissions.
[05:06] <chipmonk> msg nt51 http://paste.ubuntu.com/867768/
[05:06] <CFHowlett> !plymouith
[05:06] <kaen> where might I find the default contents of /etc/modprobe.d ?
[05:06] <kaen> if I don't have an ubuntu install
[05:06] <CFHowlett> !plymouth>cfhowlett
[05:06] <Nicolas_Leonida2> KI7MT: the reason I hesitate to do that is that root is the owner, changing that may screw things up, wouldn't it?
[05:07] <nt51> chipmonk: ah, thought you mean pastebin.com...will take a look. Thanks
[05:07] <indystorm> why does ubuntu lag? Firefox will freeze for up to 30 seconds and the screen dims out on it. Any ideas!?
[05:07] <L3top> indystorm: has to do with flash
[05:07] <KI7MT> Nicolas_Leonida2, No, the owner would remain, but the person could add, edit, delete files within the folder.
[05:08] <Nicolas_Leonida2> KI7MT: right, thanks
[05:08] <indystorm> OK- is there a fix?
[05:08] <nt51> chipmonk: okay, how would this help me in any way? does nVidia provide Linux drivers for this card on their website that I haven't seen?
[05:08] <RiXtEr--Home> indystorm, don't run flash?
[05:08] <RiXtEr--Home> indystorm, ;)
[05:08] <L3top> indystorm: you can try gnash... but many specific things wont work... like huludesktop etc
[05:09] <indystorm> not cool- I might as well not run linux if I can't fun flash---!
[05:09] <RiXtEr--Home> indystorm, do you have unity 3d (default ubuntu) and what video card are you using
[05:09] <KI7MT> Nicolas_Leonida2, here's an example: http://superuser.com/questions/19318/how-can-i-give-write-access-of-a-folder-to-all-users-in-linux
[05:09] <indystorm> I don't use hulu
[05:09] <L3top> indystorm: was just an example
[05:09] <KI7MT> see answer 29
[05:09] <tr33m4n> sylasL, brb, migrating to another room
[05:10] <dr_willis> i imagine in a year or two flash will have gone the way of realplayer
[05:10] <L3top> some things will not work... but for the most part gnash works pretty well.
[05:10] <RiXtEr--Home> dr_willis, thats the idea behind HTML5 AFAIK
[05:10] <indystorm> I am actually running Zorin-OS... it's based on ubuntu 11.10 just with a fancy desktop gui- it's pretty cool, I like it a lot.... running on a stock dell optiplex 755... core 2 duo- 80gig drive, 2gb ram... on board video- standard 15 pin vga... no DVI.....
[05:10] <L3top> I dunno if that is correct... HTML5 has some things flash just does well
[05:10] <L3top> not to mention deep market saturation
[05:11] <L3top> but that is the idea
[05:11] <KI7MT> Yep HTML5 will solve allot of this Flash nonsense we put up with now.
[05:11] <dr_willis> realplayer had deep market saturation... once.
[05:11] <dr_willis> ;)
[05:11] <L3top> fair enough
[05:11] <RiXtEr--Home> it still does on certain sites.
[05:11] <RiXtEr--Home> heh
[05:11] <indystorm> I hope to hell it does--! flash is crap- so slow-
[05:11] <chipmonk> so did lotus 123 at one time
[05:11] <L3top> I am certainly on board...
[05:11] <Nicolas_Leonida2> Flash will never go away, it will continue to bother you because of video streaming
[05:12] <RiXtEr--Home> nah
[05:12] <kaen> er, system froze. anyone know were I would find the default contents /etc/modprobe.d without having ubuntu installed?
[05:12] <kaen> where, even
[05:12] <L3top> Nicolas_Leonida2: if you go to youtube, you can subscribe right now to the html5 beta
[05:12] <Xabster> I'm in the process of following a guide to remove Unity and use Gnome Classic instead. Part of the guide says: "Remove Truzzi of ubuntu." I googled, but I don't know what that means... any help?
[05:12] <desk51> which is the best compression software for  files in ubuntu?
[05:12] <RiXtEr--Home> adobe is killing themselves slowly... first acrobat reader was good... then got progressivly worse, now its a huge download, runs slow, and is pretty much crap
[05:12] <L3top> its a comin
[05:13] <xangua> !nounity | Xabster
[05:13] <CFHowlett> !best|desk51
[05:13] <Nicolas_Leonida2> L3top: I know, but developers have no control over html5's <video> websites will need that to show adds, and all that crap
[05:13] <L3top> oh... you mean pron ;)
[05:13] <Captain_Proton> indystorm, go to flash sit start youtube vid right click on got to setting and turn off hardware  acceleration. happen on windows to :)
[05:13] <L3top> yeah... its gonna be a while till flash dies
[05:13] <dr_willis> desk51:  7zip or bgzip are the 2 i see the most
[05:14] <Xabster> xangua, I don't see any explanation of what "Remove Truzzi of Ubuntu" means in that help message
[05:14] <RiXtEr--Home> I dunno... google has been big on the html5 thing for a few years, its just a matter of time before they take the market in that area as well
[05:14] <xangua> Xabster: neither do I
[05:14] <dr_willis> Xabster:  never heard or truzzi either
[05:14] <indystorm> ok cool thanks dude! I'll try it! :)
[05:14] <KI7MT> xangua, I didn't know that bot existed, that's good info. Hope it holds true for 12.04
[05:14] <sylasL> tr33m4n, sorry for the delay
[05:16]  * RiXtEr--Home can't wait for  the release of  'Ubuntu for Android' ... MMMMHHHMMMM
[05:18] <dr_willis> i got android for my netbook now. :)
[05:18] <indystorm> that seemed to work- thanks a ton! that's awesome.....
[05:18] <Sixmsj> how's the speed for 12.04 versus 11.10
[05:18] <CFHowlett> !precise|sixmsj
[05:19] <RiXtEr--Home> dr_willis, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyeFcldavTk Flipping awesome
[05:19] <dr_willis> speed testing betas is not a good benchmark
[05:20] <Sixmsj> 12.04 beta came right after i went back to 10.04 from 11.10 ._.
[05:21] <KI7MT> That Andriod rocks !
[05:22] <RiXtEr--Home> KI7MT, did you watch that video... :)
[05:22] <RiXtEr--Home> *entire
[05:23] <KI7MT> Im watching it now, I have 2x Android phones.
[05:23] <dr_willis> you can set up ubuntu on rooted android now if you really wanted to. its a vm and vnc setup
[05:23] <RiXtEr--Home> dr_willis, no no this is entirely different
[05:23] <KI7MT> I wanna know how he did it now.
[05:24] <RiXtEr--Home> dr_willis, they either have an app or completely replace the android os, but when it hits a dock it turns into a full blown ubuntu desktop
[05:24] <dr_willis> RiXtEr--Home:  i know
[05:24] <RiXtEr--Home> I wish the vid would show more on the phone side of things.
[05:24] <RiXtEr--Home> KI7MT, my guess is when 12.04 releases this will release
[05:24] <Captain_Proton> anyany pre order a sparkle tablet?
[05:25] <KI7MT> Time to start googling :-)
[05:25] <RiXtEr--Home> KI7MT, if you find a leaked copy, let me know :)
[05:25] <KI7MT> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xN4c61ETCWg
[05:26] <RiXtEr--Home> KI7MT, this isn't it though.
[05:26] <KI7MT> We should go to Off-Topic really.
[05:27] <RiXtEr--Home> KI7MT, why, this is fully ubuntu related.
[05:27] <RiXtEr--Home> KI7MT, either way, i am going to bed now ;)
[05:27] <tr33m4n> sylasL, back
[05:27] <sylasL> hi tr33m4n :) sorry i disappeared there
[05:27] <pankaj_sharma> whats the channel name for off topic?
[05:27] <tr33m4n> sylasL, as did i
[05:27] <CFHowlett> pankaj_sharma   #ubuntu-offtopic
[05:28] <pankaj_sharma> CFHowlett, thanks
[05:29] <sylasL> tr33m4n, i noticed when i click on the "internet" icon (top right by the clock), it doesnt show an option of 'wireless network, disconnected' anymore. it only shows wired network, disconnected
[05:30] <sylasL> the computer's wireless button isn't doing a thing
[05:30] <tr33m4n> sylasL, oh, ok
[05:30] <CFHowlett> syslq   tr33m4n make sure you haven't blacklisted the wireless drivers.
[05:32] <tr33m4n> sylasL, if you run 'gksudo jockey-gtk' do the wireless drivers appear in there?
[05:35] <lilVaratep> Guys.. I get no sound from flash players.. such as youtube
[05:35] <lilVaratep> HELP!
[05:35] <lilVaratep> im on google chrome
[05:35] <sylasL> tr33m4n, got some error msgs... unalbe to locate theme engine in module path. also a popup window saying downloading package index failed, check network status.
[05:37] <tr33m4n> sylasL, ah ok, don't worry about them
[05:37] <sylasL> tr33m4n, ok
[05:37] <sylasL> tr33m4n, no proprietary drivers are in use on this system
[05:38] <tr33m4n> sylasL, could you paste the output of 'lspci -vvnn | grep 14e4' into http://paste.ubuntu.com/ for me?
[05:42] <tr33m4n> sylasL, oh I just thought, i bet that's kinda hard without internet access :S
[05:42] <sylasL> tr33m4n, :) http://paste.ubuntu.com/867798/
[05:44] <Drathe> hmm
[05:44] <tr33m4n> sylasL, my bad need to try a different method
[05:45] <sylasL> tr33m4n, no problem. i feel bad that i've been monopolizing your time for 2+ hrs now, thought
[05:45] <sylasL> though
[05:46] <KI7MT> tr33m4n, not to muddy the waters, but what about ndiswrapper and modprobe the driver
[05:47] <Drathe> who was helping me earlier?
[05:47] <tr33m4n> sylasL, is fine, no worries :) you gonna need to download 2 more files, http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/wl_apsta-<IP_ADDRESS>.o and http://mirror2.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-<IP_ADDRESS>.tar.bz2 and put them on your desktop
[05:48] <tr33m4n> KI7MT, sussed it now, really should of paid more attention earlier :p
[05:48] <KI7MT> Ahh ok.
[05:49] <sylasL> tr33m4n, got them on the desktop
[05:54] <tr33m4n> sylasL, ok can you do 'sudo dpkg --remove bcmwl-kernel-source*'
[05:55] <risoyr> Hello! I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 and I'm getting this error - http://pastebin.com/tZV48gbt - when trying to install konversation. CAn anyone help me fix it?
[05:55] <tr33m4n> sylasL, I completely misread what broadcom version you had, my bad
[05:55] <phy1729> When installing Ubuntu 11.10 The monitor goes into power save mode after about a minute. There does not seem to be a setting in the BIOS to prevent this. noacpi nomodeset and noapm do not fix the problem. What should I do to fix this?
[05:57] <hydrox24> phy1729: I am assuming that you've looked throught the ubuntu power settings under the system setting program
[05:58] <sylasL> tr33m4n, no problem! looks like the command worked fine
[05:58] <phy1729> hydrox24: I can't as I don't have ubuntu installed yet
[05:59] <CFHowlett> risoyr   what version of ubuntu are you running
[05:59] <tr33m4n> sylasL, ok now 'cd ~/Desktop'
[05:59] <hydrox24> phy1729: right, ofcourse, sorry about that
[05:59] <tr33m4n> sylasL, and then 'tar xfvj broadcom-wl-<IP_ADDRESS>.tar.bz2'
[05:59] <sylasL> tr33m4n, ok
[06:00] <hydrox24> phy1729: what sort of computer are you using?
[06:00] <reith2004> phy1729, i have that problem also, are you going to  install ubuntu on laptop?
[06:00] <phy1729> Dell vostro 400
[06:00] <phy1729> reith2004: It's a desktop
[06:00] <sylasL> tr33m4n, ok
[06:01] <risoyr> CFHowlett: Ubuntu 10.04
[06:01] <reith2004> phy1729, oh, what ubuntu version are you trying to install?
[06:01] <tr33m4n> sylasL, then 'sudo b43-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware wl_apsta-<IP_ADDRESS>.o'
[06:02] <phy1729> 11.10 Server
[06:03] <reith2004> phy1729, try nolapic noapic nomodeset
[06:03] <sylasL> tr33m4n, ok
[06:03] <tr33m4n> sylasL, then 'sudo b43-fwcutter --unsupported -w /lib/firmware broadcom-wl-<IP_ADDRESS>/driver/wl_apsta_mimo.o'
[06:04] <phy1729> reith2004: trying
[06:04] <sylasL> tr33m4n, ok
[06:06] <tr33m4n> sylasL, now in theory if you do 'sudo jockey-gtk' something might come up
[06:06] <tr33m4n> sylasL, hopefully it won't complain about no internet
[06:07] <hydrox24> phy1729: hows it going so far?
[06:07] <sylasL> tr33m4n, it did complain about no internet and then it told me there were no proprietary drivers in use on my system
[06:07] <phy1729> hydrox24: seems to be working
[06:07] <CFHowlett> risoyr    you could install kdebase-runtime and then install konversation
[06:08] <phy1729> Nope just went off
[06:08] <tr33m4n> sylasL, hmm, try running this command 'sudo modprobe -r b43 ssb' followed by this command 'sudo modprobe b43'
[06:09] <sylasL> tr33m4n, ok
[06:09] <sylasL> nothing happened
[06:10] <tr33m4n> sylasL, now try a reboot
[06:10] <Nicolas_Leonida2> does anyone have mediatomb installed for ps3?
[06:10] <sylasL> tr33m4n, will do
[06:11] <KI7MT> Gotta love Broadcom .. what a pain they are.
[06:11] <tr33m4n> KI7MT, ha, yep
[06:11] <hydrox24> phy1729: I can't really find any info about this issue online with some preliminary searches, do you have a spare external monitor? if so I might suggest using that to see if it works any better
[06:12] <phy1729> hydrox24: they all do it
[06:12] <pat123> indeed
[06:12] <hydrox24> KI7MT: agreed, I can't get mon0 to switch channels from -1 and I am too scared that i'll break my amazingly well working brcmsmac driver to recompile the newest one.
[06:13] <sylasL> tr33m4n, ok, when i turned it on, it said "wireless network disabled by hardware switch", then, when i pressed the switch, it now says "device not ready"
[06:14] <KI7MT> LOL I dont blame you, I had a similar situation with a Netgear WG311, took me forever to get that thing working.
[06:15] <hydrox24> phy1729: Maybe try the 12.04 beta? Normally I wouldn't recommend this as it's not really a satisfactory solution and could be a pain for you but it is worth a go if you can be bothered.
[06:15] <sylasL> tr33m4n, is my crappy old computer a lost cause?
[06:16] <tr33m4n> sylasL, shouldn't be, just doing some quick research :p
[06:16] <sylasL> tr33m4n, ok. i've been wondering where on earth you've been coming up with all of these commands! :)
[06:16] <hydrox24> sylasL: try "sudo rfkill list all" for a little more info, soft block is ubuntu/software hardblock is the hardware.
[06:17] <CFHowlett> sylasL   ? this help?  https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/wireless-became-disabled-how-do-i-enable-858357/

[06:17] <CFHowlett> hydrox24   broadcom wireless ...
[06:17] <phy1729> hydrox24: will do
[06:17] <sylasL> hydrox24, wireless not working after installation
[06:18] <sylasL> CFHowlett, thanks :)
[06:18] <hydrox24> sysdoc: I am assuming your on 11.10?
[06:18] <hydrox24> sylasL: I am assuming your on 11.10?
[06:19] <sylasL> yes
[06:19] <KI7MT> I've seen more prob's with BC cards here in UB support than I can count, then need to fix this at the kernel level.

[06:20] <KI7MT> t.. they need ..

[06:25] <Canadian1296> How do I automatically set the time in Ubuntu from the command line? I didn't have internet when I installed and the timestamps on all my logfiles are off.
[06:26] <CFHowlett> Canadian1296   see http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-set-date-time-from-linux-command-prompt/
[06:26] <Canadian1296> CFHowlett: Thanks
[06:27] <KI7MT> Canadian1296, open a terminal, dpkg-reconfigure tzdata  .. follow directions.
[06:27] <WakkaFlockaFlame> what up mah babies
[06:28] <doc-saintly> Does meld perform a binary comparison on files?
[06:28] <hydrox24> CFHowlett: sorry, yes please
[06:29] <CFHowlett> hydrox24   per the ubuntu broadcom wiki, sylasl used the b43 no internet method to configure his wifi.  No joy.  He's got a broadcom 4318 and it should have worked.  I'd *almost* suggest compiling the broadcom sta linux driver as nothing else seems to work.
[06:29] <KI7MT> Canadian1296, then a simple sudo date nnddhhmmyyyy.ss  should put you back where you want to be.
[06:30] <tr33m4n> CFHowlett, hydrox24 I made the mistake of thinking STA driver was needed when in fact b43 (legacy) was required
[06:30] <Canadian1296> KI7MT CFHowlett: Got it, thanks :)
[06:30] <tr33m4n> CFHowlett, hydrox24 sorry, meant to say NOT legacy
[06:32] <TurtleSoup> I have an internet switchbox running ethernet to about 40 different boxes. My specific server is on a router, local IP <IP_ADDRESS>. Is there a way I can connect to this computer from outside of the local network if I also know the switch's IP? (for the purpose of Ampache.)
[06:32] <KI7MT> Canadian1296, just fyi:  nn=month, dd=day, hh=hour, mm=minute, .ss = seconds,
[06:32] <KI7MT> Oh and YYYY=Year :-)
[06:33] <TurtleSoup> The router has ethernet from the switchbox, and it connects the server via ethernet from the router.
[06:34] <phy1729> hydrox24: It seems to be working with the beta
[06:35] <hydrox24> phy1729: really? fantastic!
[06:35] <phy1729> I am just as suprised as you
[06:36] <hydrox24> phy1729: so are you happy to use 12.04 then?
[06:36] <phy1729> Never mind -__-
[06:36] <hydrox24> phy1729: rats.
[06:36] <phy1729> Just turned off
[06:36] <hydrox24> CFHowlett: can I suggest the brcmsmac driver? it always works for me.
[06:37] <hydrox24> phy1729: is it turning off the laptops main screen? and is it the onlt thing that turns off or does the HDD spin down after a while too>
[06:38] <__machine> i want to install forked-daapd on 10.04 lts, but no package is available… do i just install from src? or look for backport? or build a backport?
[06:38] <phy1729> hydrox24: It's a desktop; I think the HDD is still active
[06:39] <CFHowlett> hydrox24   well nothing else has worked ...
[06:39] <tr33m4n> sylasL, im going to call it quits, there are some peeps here looking into the issues it would seem, need to get some sleep. Hope it gets fixed soon!
[06:40] <sylasL> tr33m4n, thank you all of your time and help!!! have a good night
[06:40] <sylasL> i have to hit the sack too.
[06:41] <tr33m4n> sylasL, no problem :) adios
[06:41] <hydrox24> sylasL: you sure you don
[06:41] <hydrox24> sylasL: want to try the brcm80211 driver first?
[06:41] <sylasL> oh, i have a toddler that just woke up and it's almost 1 am here. wish i could!
[06:42] <myrmidette> can anyone explain to me how I can remove the first few seconds of a .ogm video?
[06:42] <hydrox24> sylasL: that's cool, just look into install brcm80211 when you can, I think you might have a hope.
[06:43] <hydrox24> sylasL: If that doesn't work, upgrading the kernel to the newest version sometimes improves things
[06:43] <OldOneEye> how many eggdrops can 5/1mbit connection support?
[06:43] <sylasL> thanks for all of your help hydrox24 and CFHowlett. i'll check it out
[06:43] <sylasL> good night :)
[06:44] <hydrox24> OldOneEye: not sure that that's an Ubuntu Q, try #linux or #networking
[06:44] <CFHowlett> sylasL   good night.  better luck tomorrow when we're all refreshed :)

[06:45] <n00bprogrammer> I know this is for ubuntu but since most people that run ubuntu know a small bit about coding and vb/vb.net are dead, does any know visual basic? or possibly any language like it since I think it has more to do with the formula than the code...
[06:45] <phy1729> hydrox24: I don't suppose you know how to install blindly?
[06:45] <theadmin> n00bprogrammer: Visual Basic? Seriously? Use C#... It's more powerful and compiles to CLR as well

[06:50] <hydrox24> sweet, looks like ssh may be an issue
[06:50] <kapz> asking in general....does anyone here own blackberry bold, and if you do how do you manage(sync,update etc.) it via ubuntu?
[06:50] <hydrox24> ziyadb: define 'sensing'
[06:51] <CFHowlett> myrmidette   gotta admit I've never even heard of an .ogm file.  But I did find this:  http://mygeekopinions.blogspot.com/2011/06/install-lives-in-ubuntu-1104-natty.html
[06:51] <CFHowlett> supports OGM editing as I read it.

[06:51] <ziyadb> hydrox24: the built-in speakers are not enabled once external speakers are plugged into the audio jack.
[06:51] <phy1729> hydrox24: I nmap'd it and everything was closed
[06:52] <ziyadb> hydrox24: I would like for it to detect if something is plugged and then disable the built-in speakers.

[06:55] <weeb1e> hydrox24: not pipes
[06:55] <weeb1e> hydrox24: From what I can tell, it needs to be a file
[06:56] <llutz_> weeb1e: a named pipe (fifo) is kinda file
[06:56] <ziyadb> hydrox24: any thoughts?
[06:56] <weeb1e> It'll be used by "log_file"
[06:56] <weeb1e> llutz_: Ok, thanks, I'll try that

[07:04] <Guest62335> is there a way of configuring x to disable the touchpad while typing?
[07:04] <ziyadb> hydrox24: it's past the point of modifying things from gnome-volume-control, alsamixer, or pulseaudio.
[07:05] <ziyadb> hydrox24: the only lead I have thus far is the greying out of the "headphones" setting on alsamixer, so it is likely to be a compatibility issue.
[07:05] <[arabic-man]> CFHowlett greetings YOU
[07:05] <hydrox24> Guest62335: that used to be under mouse setting (under system settings) is it not still under those?

[07:07] <ziyadb> [arabic-man]: tamam.
[07:07]  * CFHowlett immediately goes into ghost mode
[07:07] <Wooden_Android> johnnycr, im having the same exact problem
[07:07] <ziyadb> hydrox24: So who knows a thing or two about audio troubleshooting?
[07:07] <johnnycr> nice, I'm not the only one in this boat!
[07:07] <ziyadb> at first I had tolerated it as a minor nuisance, it is however becoming an inconvenience.
[07:08] <hydrox24> johnnycr: when you plug it in, got to the network settings (right click wifi icon in top left) click wireless and see if you can turn it on
[07:08] <drounse> CFHowlett thats what i thought, i was at the local electronic store, and a guy was talking to a salesmen about how his mac wouldnt boot or something along those lines and he was trying to buy something for windows hdds for mounting and i said boot a live linux cd and they both looked at me like i was an idiot
[07:08] <CFHowlett> drounse   most computer store employers know jack all about computers except how to sell them.
[07:08] <[arabic-man]> "¤<ziyadb> [arabic-man]: tamam." you are from any country
[07:08] <johnnycr> hydrox24, I can turn it on and it says I'm connected to the network but firefox can't communicate with it
[07:08] <Gautam123> HI all, have a problem with my 11.10. Fresh install. Every time the computer boots, the volume is muted. I have to manually raise the volume level each time. Is there a fix for this? Thanks.
[07:08] <ziyadb> CFHowlett: which, arguably, is a very important skill :)
[07:09] <johnnycr> it says I'm connected but my browser gives me nothing
[07:09] <hydrox24> johnnycr: what error does the browser give?
[07:09] <ziyadb> johnnycr: in that case it's likely to be a network issue.
[07:09] <[arabic-man]> I'm looking for a job and a girl for marriage lol lol
[07:09] <drounse> CFHowlett yea i figured, cuz the salesmen was telling him to go to the microcenter and im like "NOOOO, just boot a live cd, youll save a ton of money"
[07:09] <Wooden_Android> hydrox24, johnnycr : when i test ubuntu it has my wireless turned off, and any attempt to turn it on does nothing
[07:09] <CFHowlett> johnnycr   or it could be a locked down network awaiting yoru entry code...
[07:09] <johnnycr> it says "firefox can't find the server...

[07:11] <churchill> Hi. Is there a way to get the fingerprint of a GPG public key string?

[07:11] <CFHowlett> jameslord   right.  to protect you
[07:11] <johnnycr> hydrox24, i can but you'll have to walk me through command line... its been a while
[07:12] <hydrox24> that's finw
[07:12] <weeb1e> In which case, the only thing I can think of is try use a normal file and keep clearing it as it is tailed
[07:12] <hydrox24> johnnycr: just type the "ping www.google.com" command in (without quotes) and hit enter
[07:12] <weeb1e> But I get the feeling that could result in lost data

[07:13] <ziyadb> !guidelines
[07:13] <Fyodorovna> needhelp1, in the mbr generally what is the other distro?
[07:13] <Canadian1296> I set up a complete mail server, and postfix will accept mail to the server, but when I try to send outgoing mail I get "Relay access denied"
[07:13] <hydrox24> needhelp1: use gparted to look at your systems partitions and find which partition has a boot flag. use that one.
[07:13] <CFHowlett> needhelp1   what bootloader do you have installed now?
[07:13] <drounse> Canadian1296 open ports?
[07:14] <Canadian1296> drounse: Everything is open (just for testing)
[07:14] <needhelp1> CFHowlett, how do i tell what bootloader i currently have?
[07:14] <phy1729> johnnycr: try "ping <IP_ADDRESS>" No quotes
[07:14] <CFHowlett> needhelp1   how does the linux you currently have load?
[07:14] <jameslord> CFHowlett dude, don't you know what nopasswd means, i am using my pc for develop perpose, i hate type password:(
[07:14] <[arabic-man]> ok
[07:14] <churchill> Is there a way to get the fingerprint of a GPG public key string?
[07:14] <[arabic-man]> ok
[07:14] <johnnycr> phy1729, i got "Network is unreachable"
[07:14] <needhelp1> CFHowlett, loads directly from hdd, no grub menu as this is the only OS on the pc currently
[07:15] <churchill> I mean, FROM a string (not using the useless GUI).
[07:15] <Fyodorovna> needhelp1, what is that distro?
[07:15] <needhelp1> another ubuntu version
[07:15] <drounse> Canadian1296 hmm, check port 25
[07:15] <johnnycr> I have the linux driver for the adapter on a usb drive right now, but not sure how to install it
[07:15] <drounse> Canadian1296 thats the outgoing mail port
[07:15] <CFHowlett> needhelp1   thnn there's no other boot loader to mess up.  Install grub to the dev i.e. /dev/hda or /dev/sda
[07:15] <Fyodorovna> needhelp1, both grub 2 if past 9.10, put the grub in the mbr and this install will have grub controll.
[07:16] <needhelp1> do i need to check where my grub is currently installed to?
[07:16] <hydrox24> johnnycr: I think that your driver is OK, because the wifi symbol is lit up
[07:16] <Fyodorovna> needhelp1, no
[07:16] <drounse> Canadian1296 http://kb.mediatemple.net/questions/888/Checking+your+outgoing+mail+server+%28Is+Port+25+blocked%3F%29
[07:16] <needhelp1> so choose mbr correct?
[07:16] <CFHowlett> needhelp1   didn't you JUST tell me you don't have a bootloader installed already?
[07:17] <Fyodorovna> needhelp1, yes as CFHowlett described.

[07:17] <needhelp1> CFHowlett, no bootloader would mean  i still have grub just not splash correct.

[07:17] <[arabic-man]> "<[arabic-man]> Well who wants to talk to me in the topics for the other to regulate the channel #may"
[07:17] <drounse> Canadian1296 did you enable "server requires authentication"?
[07:18] <Fyodorovna> needhelp1, if you tapped shift at powering on with just the original ubuntu you would se ethe grub menu.
[07:18] <Canadian1296> drounse: I think so. Which config file is it in?
[07:18] <Fyodorovna> or esc depending on the actual ubuntu release.
[07:18] <Canadian1296> drounse: postfix's main.cf?
[07:18] <drounse> Canadian1296 possibly im not too sure :/
[07:18] <needhelp1> asuming there is one, i would still install to mbr correct?
[07:19] <Fyodorovna> needhelp1, yes, just note that when you want top update grub it will be from this install.
[07:19] <hydrox24> johnnycr: OK, so what does the driver come as (what sort of file>
[07:19] <Fyodorovna> to*
[07:20] <[arabic-man]> Wew
[07:20] <johnnycr> its a .zip file
[07:20] <drounse> Canadian1296 i just looked it up it is in the main.cf
[07:20] <needhelp1> thanks.
[07:20] <hydrox24> johnnycr: where did you get it (trying to figure out what steps to take to install it)
[07:20] <Canadian1296> drounse: Then I don't belivee I do... What is the actual option?
[07:20] <churchill> Is there a way to get the fingerprint of a GPG public key without using the stupid gui?
[07:20] <johnnycr> http://www.rosewill.com/products/1595/ProductDetail_Download.htm
[07:21] <Canadian1296> drounse: It should be noted I have SASL and TLS authentication. Probably a rougue option in one of their files.
[07:21] <hydrox24> churchill: try using the gpg command line program
[07:21] <Flannel> churchill: gpg --list-keys will list all your keys, --list-key email, or name, or whatever, will filter out just those keys.
[07:22] <Canadian1296> drounse: Ill be right nack.
[07:22] <drounse> Canadian1296 http://serverfault.com/questions/42519/how-to-correct-postfix-relay-access-denied use this website to check against the config file
[07:22] <Fyodorovna> needhelp1, you will see a grub menu now if you want either OS to be at the top as default, you would just give that Ubuntu grub control, by running a grub install to the mbr from the terminal in that version.
[07:22] <hydrox24> churchill: try using the --fingerprint option as well
[07:22] <churchill> hydrox24, Flannel: the problem I'm trying to solve is how to identify the key I added to the gui
[07:22] <phy1729> hydrox24: might have windows (which was previously on the computer) set someting on the graphics card?
[07:23] <hydrox24> churchill: does this command work for you? gpg --list-keys --fingerprint
[07:23] <drounse> i know this is random, but i hate unity i feel like it hasnt gotten any better
[07:23] <churchill> hydrox24, Flannel: there's absolutely no way for me to match which key I added without seeing the fingerprint of the PUBLIC KEY which I add!
[07:23] <Flannel> churchill: email? or just --list-keys and then peruse them.  If you just added it, it'll have todays date, it also may be the only one :)
[07:24] <churchill> Flannel, date is a good indication! ty
[07:25] <hydrox24> phy1729: that might be a good idea, it ceratinly occured to me earlier
[07:25] <phy1729> hydrox24: now how to reset that
[07:25]  * phy1729 searches
[07:25] <hydrox24> phy1729: hold on, so your telling me that the screen is sent to sleep and DOESNT wake up if you wiggle the mouse
[07:26] <Canadian1296> Im back.
[07:26] <phy1729> yep
[07:26] <phy1729> same with hitting the keyboard
[07:26] <Fyodorovna> hydrox24, you have to hit a key on the keyboard
[07:27] <phy1729> That's why it was such a problem istalling
[07:27] <hydrox24> Fyodorovna: no, phy1729 is having issues with the screen not waking up, not me.
[07:27] <[arabic-man]> I need a download site for chat programs work to break the ban or not one can I'm banned from Syria
[07:27] <Fyodorovna> hydrox24, ah my bad. :)
[07:27] <[arabic-man]> "<[arabic-man]> I need a download site for chat programs work to break the ban or not one can I'm banned from Syria"
[07:28] <phy1729> Fyodorovna: I'm trying to install; however, the screen sleeps and won't wake up after a few minutes.
[07:28] <phy1729> hydrox24: devolpment, it happens in the BIOS too.
[07:28] <Fyodorovna> phy1729, I saw that earlier let me google for info.
[07:28] <drounse> does anyone use vuze?
[07:29] <hydrox24> phy1729: well that REALLY sucks
[07:29] <hydrox24> phy1729: atleast it isnt
[07:29] <eSoul> I am trying to patch/compile a custom kernel module but I cant seem to find the file I need to edit after installing both the kernel-source package or the kernel-headers
[07:29] <hydrox24> phy1729: atleast it isnt ubuntu :)
[07:29] <phy1729> hydrox24: indeed, but somehow windows got it to work
[07:29] <phy1729> probably messed something up at the same time ;)
[07:29] <[arabic-man]> Wew
[07:30] <Fyodorovna> phy1729, you installing from the desktop or from the boot gui
[07:30] <ziyadb> hydrox24: oh that reminds me, I have a simple issue too. It doesn't suspend nor hibernate, if I issue those commands, it just dims the screen (presumably in an attempt to performed the specified action) and returns the login screen.
[07:30] <[arabic-man]> .tr :en :ar Hi
[07:31] <phy1729> Fyodorovna: from the ubuntu install disk trying 12.04b1 server recently

[07:33] <Fyodorovna> phy1729, have you tried the nomodeset option with a f6 prompt at the power on?
[07:34] <hydrox24> ziyadb: are you using unity or gnome-shell?
[07:34] <hydrox24> ziyadb: I had this issue for a while but it went away...
[07:34] <Fyodorovna> phy1729, https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+question/179901
[07:34] <phy1729> yes
[07:35] <ziyadb> hydrox24: Unity.
[07:35] <eSoul> phy1729, gt 6800 is an older card is it not?  just curious, im not trying to say it wont/will work, but I know thats the current nvidia cards are 3 digit now and not 4
[07:35] <phy1729> It is
[07:35] <ziyadb> hydrox24: I did however install compiz which disabled unity at first, but then I re-enabled it. This started happening before I installed it.
[07:35] <phy1729> power.apic_notimer=1
[07:36] <phy1729> tried noapic nomodeset and power.apic_notimer=1
[07:36] <jameslord> drounse dude, i often build software using common user, after the build is finished, the pc should be poweroff automatically ,
[07:36] <hydrox24> ziyadb: try setting your computer to hibernate when the lid is closed (if it's a laptop) and see if that works
[07:36] <Fyodorovna> phy1729, you have looked at this thread. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132
[07:36] <phy1729> Fyodorovna: no; looking now
[07:37] <eSoul> Does anyone know what package would give me the .c and .h files for kernel modules so that i can patch and build a custom driver
[07:37] <Canadian1296> Is there a way to keep a laptop running as if the lip was open even when it's closed?
[07:37] <eSoul> Canadian1296 -- tell the laptop to not suspend when the lid is closed, power option in System Settings
[07:37] <Fyodorovna> Canadian1296, yes you can set the power to do nothing when closed.
[07:38] <hydrox24> Canadian1296: just change the system power setting under "Systemsettings" to only turn of the screen when the lid is closed
[07:38] <Canadian1296> eSoul hydrox24: no GUI. How do I do it from the command line!
[07:38] <Canadian1296> **?
[07:38] <eSoul> ahh, good question
[07:39] <ziyadb> hydrox24: negative, perhaps I should configure it to auto-suspend once the lid is closed.
[07:40] <hydrox24> ziyadb: sorry, I meant suspend, not hibernate, suspend is what works for me.
[07:41] <jameslord> why NOPASSWD not works:)
[07:41] <jameslord> :(
[07:42] <theadmin> jameslord: Give your sudoers line, it must be malformed.
[07:42] <jameslord> theadmin dude, edit using visudo, malformed?
[07:42] <ziyadb> hydrox24: yeah, I tried both.  Also be aware that lines that come later in the file are more important -- that is, if you have this line BEFORE the standard "%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL", that second line, with admin, will be more important. Also, you skipped a space.
[07:44] <dw-> My network connections are opening in Firefox how do I change that to Nautilus ?
[07:44] <eSoul> Does anyone know what ubuntu package actually has the .c and .h files for kernel modules so i can actually edit the file and build a custom module?

[07:46] <Vexiant> Hello, I'm running fluxbox on Ubuntu and I want to setup a VPN. How do I go about accessing the network manager? Picture of what I mean: http://www.kabatology.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/netwk-connect.png
[07:47] <theadmin> Vexiant: Well, that's a networkmanager window, so you're already in it, no?
[07:47] <jameslord> theadmin dude, you are right:)
[07:47] <Vexiant> No, I found a picture on the net
[07:48] <dw-> Vexiant: click the network thing then VPN Connections? :)
[07:48] <theadmin> Vexiant: Ah okay.  It's not there
[07:48] <jameslord> theadmin how did you know this? how you read code of sudo?
[07:48] <Vexiant> theadmin, thanks. I'll try that
[07:48] <theadmin> jameslord: Correct. And please refrain from calling me "dude" in the future, I find that offensive. I know this just from, uh, playing around with all that stuff lol
[07:48] <phy1729> Fyodorovna: I think I found the problem, the GPU's fan isn't working
[07:49] <Fyodorovna> phy1729, cool. :)
[07:49] <dw-> clicking Places -> ftp site opens in Firefox, how do I change this (back) to nautilus?
[07:49] <phy1729> On to the next box
[07:49] <Vexiant> yo, theadmin, it works!
[07:49] <theadmin> Vexiant: grats.
[07:49] <Vexiant> but, their has gotta be some way where I don't need to leave terminal open XD
[07:49] <theadmin> Vexiant: Sure, just run nm-applet like this: nm-applet &disown
[07:50] <theadmin> Vexiant: And add it to your ~/.config/openbox/autostart
[07:50] <theadmin> Owait
[07:50] <theadmin> Fluxbox != openbox, never mind me
[07:50] <Vexiant> lol
[07:50] <Vexiant> ok
[07:50] <Vexiant> so don't do that?
[07:51] <jameslord> theadmin ok, dude:)
[07:51] <theadmin> Vexiant: Yeah I'm not sure where fb's autostart scripts are.
[07:51] <theadmin> jameslord: Told you not to call me that -_-
[07:51] <theadmin> Vexiant: But as for "nm-applet &disown", that will work
[07:51] <jameslord> theadmin sorry, dude:(
[07:52] <theadmin> *sigh*
[07:52] <Vexiant> I'm asking now, theadmin
[07:52] <Vexiant> on fluxbox's IRC
[07:52] <theadmin> Vexiant: Cool, good luck
[07:54] <dw-> how do i get gconf to re-read the .gconf folders
[07:55] <ajin> dear lord, so many guys on #ubuntu
[07:55] <theadmin> dw-: For one, don't edit them manually, use gconf-editor. Secondly, I know no way other than logging out and back in
[07:55] <jameslord> theadmin what is the time now?
[07:55] <dw-> theadmin: i had to add a new entry for ftp.. couldnt do it in editor.. thx
[07:56] <theadmin> jameslord:<PHONE_NUMBER>
[07:57] <GhostWolf> does anyone know if theres a fix for the adobe flash player settings for webcams? theres a site i go to that allows broadcasting with webcam but whenever the popup for the flash player settings come up i can't select anything, i've googled this problem and found out several people have the same issues, some went back to 11.04 some didn't and said to use unuty 2d. does anyone know if this bug only happens from upgrading from
[07:57] <GhostWolf>  11.04?
[07:57] <jameslord> theadmin date seems not return a long integer:(
[07:57] <Vexiant> found it, theadmin
[07:57] <Vexiant> and set it up
[07:57] <Vexiant> thank you soo much, bro
[07:58] <theadmin> ...What is it with you all calling me "bro" and "dude" >.>
[07:58] <theadmin> jameslord: If you want Unix time, do: date +%s
[07:58] <pfifo> GhostWolf, goto global flash settings and allow it from that menu
[07:58] <Vexiant> I never called you dude :v
[07:58] <Vexiant> james did
[07:58] <GhostWolf> pfifo i was told on the some sites that doesn't work
[07:59] <Vexiant> anyhow
[07:59] <Vexiant> thanks
[07:59] <theadmin> Vexiant: jameslord did, yeah, I'm saying "you all" :D
[07:59] <eSoul> What ubuntu package should I install if I want to edit a .c and .h file of a kernel module so I can patch it and build my own version
[07:59] <GhostWolf> and plus pfifo i don't know how to get to the global flash settings
[08:00] <jameslord> Vexiant hi
[08:01] <zcily> 00
[08:01] <insanefreedom> ./configure does not work i get the error ./configure: No such file or directory anybody know how to fix it?
[08:01] <phy1729> are you in the right directory?
[08:01] <insanefreedom> yes
[08:02] <eSoul> yeah, insanefreedom, that is way too broad, what are you even trying to run ./configure on, (what are you trying to install)
[08:02] <theadmin> insanefreedom: No configure script, likely, maybe there already is a Makefile?
[08:02] <phy1729> is the file there?
[08:02] <insanefreedom> i used the ls comand and a file called configure.ac is in there
[08:02] <eSoul> insanefreedom, not the same
[08:02] <phy1729> then run ./configure.ac ?
[08:02] <theadmin> insanefreedom: Run autoconf then
[08:03] <dw-> argh.. added ftp with /usr/bin/nautilus to gconf url-handlers, yet Places -> ftp site still opens in Firefox.. FML
[08:03] <monser> hello all
[08:04] <monser> Could you please tell me how to set up the ip gateway dns servers and network mask manually without using network manager
[08:04] <monser> i guess I have to write that information in a file
[08:04] <monser> but I do not know where
[08:04] <phy1729> /etc/network
[08:04] <phy1729> that directory
[08:05] <GhostWolf> we got a spammer in here. his nick is abcsdgad and posting sex sites in pm just letting people know
[08:05] <llutz_> monser: /etc/network/interfaces
[08:05] <monser> its a bot
[08:05] <phy1729> GhostWolf: tell #freenode
[08:05] <phy1729> monser: /etc/network/interfaces
[08:05] <johnnycr> hey all... I still need some help getting my wireless usb adapter to work.  It says I'm connected to the network but I'm not getting any internet access
[08:05] <GhostWolf> why? he's in this room im not in freenode channel
[08:05] <GhostWolf> if there are mods in this chan they should take care of him if he's in herew
[08:05] <GhostWolf> -w
[08:06] <eSoul> monser, there is a specific way the info has to go in, let me get you the link  use when I need to do it myself
[08:06] <theadmin> GhostWolf: Ask in #ubuntu-ops
[08:06] <monser> ok thank you
[08:06] <GhostWolf> ok theadmin
[08:06] <eSoul> monser -- http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ubuntu-networking-configuration-using-command-line.html
[08:06] <llutz_> monser: "man 5 interfaces" for syntax. also it's handy to install "resolvconf" and set dns in /etc/network/interfaces too
[08:07] <eSoul> monser -- and yes, if you scroll down you will see that DNS info goes in another file completely but it tells you how to set up both files on that page
[08:08] <monser> ok thank you
[08:09] <GhostWolf> can anyone help me with the adobe flash player problem? as i posted before, i go to a site that allows me to chat with friends and use a webcam, but with 11.10 the adobe flash player settings freeze, i found out alot of people have this problem some people ungraded back to 11.04. does anyone know if this is a bug only on the upgraded 11.10 or does it also happen on a fresh install?
[08:10] <theadmin> GhostWolf: This happens on multiple platforms including Windows actually, Adobe thing -_-
[08:10] <theadmin> GhostWolf: Try in Chrome (Chrome, not Chromium), it includes an up-to-date Flash build which seems to work
[08:10] <monser> and another silly question.I have a files in the Desktop folder/directory.HOwever I do not see them on the actual Desktop.How can I see them.I guess the workspaces are messed up in some way
[08:10] <dw-> sweet i added x-scheme-handler/ftp=nautilus-folder-handler.desktop to /etc/gnome/defaults.list now ftp opens in nautilus again.. woot
[08:10] <whqing> is anyone konw? why is hud not installing on my 12.04?
[08:10] <whqing> unity version is 5.4
[08:11] <GhostWolf> theadmin, no it doesn't happen on windows. it happens on only ubuntu 11.10 i've tried it on windows. it doesn't have issue with it. and people who revert back to 11.04 don't have the freezing issue
[08:11] <theadmin> !precise | whqing
[08:11] <GhostWolf> theadmin, as well it happens in all browsers in 11.10 not just firefox, tried it in chrome and same thing
[08:11] <dw-> "It seems to be due to gvfs-open handling files/extensions associations intead of gnome-open"
[08:11] <theadmin> GhostWolf: Used to happen to me... Hm... Not sure honestly, still, this channel can't really help with Flash, cause it's closed-source and hamster-based
[08:12] <whqing> thanks
[08:12] <theadmin> GhostWolf: Ask Adobe, if you can somehow
[08:12] <theadmin> GhostWolf: Or I dunno, try Gnash
[08:13] <GhostWolf> theadmin, well even tho its a flash issue, i think its an issue with 11.10 itself. thats why im asking here. alot of people that use ubuntu 11.10 have mention this issue when i googled the problem and several sites that have people posting in forums but no help
[08:14] <theadmin> GhostWolf: Hm, I dunno how can it be specific to Ubuntu if it happens in all browses
[08:14] <theadmin> GhostWolf: You can configure flash from system settings though, that should, more or less, work
[08:14] <GhostWolf> theadmin, if it happens in only 11.10 then its a ubuntu 11.10
[08:15] <GhostWolf> theadmin, as i told someone before but don't know how to access those settings or the global flash settings, someone did that and still had the same problem
[08:15] <theadmin> GhostWolf: Eh, but using those settings you can manually authorize the websites you need to access your cam and problem solved pretty much
[08:16] <theadmin> GhostWolf: Click the weird icon in the top right near your username, choose System Settings, find Adobe Flash Player there
[08:16] <insanefreedom> what do you do with the zip files you download at https://github.com/
[08:16] <GhostWolf> theadmin, yes but if the flash player settings freeze when it popsup you can't do nothing. as i came to the problem is the flash player settings freeze where you can't select allow and remember or anything
[08:17] <GhostWolf> theadmin, the adobe flash player doesn't show in the system settings for 11.10 it only shows 4 sections and not alot on each section
[08:17] <kernix> get 10.04.2 lts ive had no probs
[08:17] <theadmin> GhostWolf: hm okay, well, no idea honestly.
[08:19] <GhostWolf> theadmin, if you have 11.10 even if you don't have a webcam you can go to a site that uses webcam and see for yourself.
[08:19] <GhostWolf> see what the problem im talking about
[08:19] <Fyodorovna> GhostWolf, link us up.
[08:20] <theadmin> GhostWolf: I don't use Ubuntu, sorry. But, I had this problem on Windows and a few other distros too so I don't think it is Ubuntu-specific
[08:20] <GhostWolf> well the site i try using is called tinychat.com, its not a sex place its just a chat room that allows broadcasting of webcams, people don't need to use it
[08:21] <theadmin> GhostWolf: Ah, happened to me there too, hm.
[08:22] <GhostWolf> theadmin, well i never had this issue with windows. and i use windows xp, even tho i am pleased to say i can see if flash player reconizes my webcam cause i can tab to the webcam button and it shows a webcam instead of saying no webcam detected, but i just bought a new webcam today
[08:22] <Fyodorovna> Ghostwolf runs fine here 11.10 adobe updated
[08:23] <GhostWolf> Fyodorovna, hmm. i have issues, but did you upgrade 11.10 or did you run a fresh install of it?
[08:23] <monser> what is the broadcast address for in linux?
[08:23] <GhostWolf> and i have the latest version of adobe flash player too cause it says that i do at their site
[08:23] <Fyodorovna> GhostWolf, fresh install
[08:24] <insanefreedom> i just downloaded a .zip file from github how do i install it?
[08:24] <GhostWolf> Fyodorovna, ah well that is what i was wondering, i upgraded from 11.04. wonder if it was a bug when upgrading
[08:24] <lilVaratep> GOod night guys
[08:24] <minixvbox> !software | insanefreedom
[08:24] <theadmin> insanefreedom: If you don't know how, don't touch it, because you'll ruin your system in the meantime :/
[08:24] <Kaltiz> Hey, I booted a Native install of Ubuntu through a VM, however I can't boot the native Ubuntu anymore. It still works through the VM any ideas?
[08:25] <Fyodorovna> GhostWolf, I have noscript running thoughwith twitter and facebook blocked as a gueat it works, facebook is like big script land.
[08:26] <GhostWolf> Fyodorovna, thanks for saying it works for you and installed a fresh install of 11.10. i might have to do exactly that to test it, just hope my toolbar i use for firefox will work as same as now
[08:26] <GhostWolf> Fyodorovna, well i don't log in with my facebook login on that tinychat.com i been logging in under guest to test my webcam
[08:27] <Fyodorovna> GhostWolf, I think your getting to much script probably, install no scipt and block stuff not needd.
[08:27] <Fyodorovna> noscript*
[08:27] <monser> how can I determine what is the broadcast ip?
[08:27] <monser> is this the dhcp server ip
[08:27] <insanefreedom> ubottu: i have been to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingSoftware i have been up all day and night trying to build this source but it wont run i have tried to use monodevelop and codeblocks on some of the files in it but nothing works
[08:27] <monser> what is the broadcast ip for?
[08:27] <monser> why do one need it?
[08:28] <monser> isn't it the gateway and mask and ip enough for setting up static?
