[04:50] <aendruk> rationalOgre: I deleted everything in /etc/rc1.d/, and the manpage for update-rc.d doesn't make it obvious to me how to get them back. I see that the necessary information is included as headers in the scripts in /etc/init.d/, though.
[04:50] <fritzophrenic> ActionParsnip, yeah I upgraded from Lucid this weekend and made sure no updates were available after that
[04:50] <Corey> UbuntuQ: Come again?
[04:50] <NictraSavios> TheLifelessOne, Ahh, so ubuntu isnt always as easy as it seems, Well I dont know exactly... but https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Openbox
[04:50] <seraphimblade> rationalOgre: I get no results on stdout, just stderr scrolling by. Trying to pipe stderr to a file stops the flashing text, but results in an empty file. The only thing that stops long enough to read is PCI (sysfs)
[04:50] <ActionParsnip> fritzophrenic: what video chip do you use?
[04:50] <rinkukokiri> TheLifelessOne, do you have an X server installed?
[04:50] <nicatronTg> Help, I accidentally rm -rf'd /bin instead of ./bin, and I'm on a vps
[04:50] <UbuntuQ> here is it TARGETS = INTERACTIVE =
[04:50] <TheLifelessOne> rinkukokiri: I don't know, and I know not how to check.
[04:50] <rationalOgre> seraphimblade: You have to wait for lshw to finish running to get the output
[04:51] <fritzophrenic> aw crap I lied, the "input boxes" color sets te color of the top bar
[04:51] <NictraSavios> TheLifelessOne, Its not for ubuntu, but it SHOULD help in some way. Just ignore anything about rc.d or rc.conf
[04:51] <UbuntuQ> just that in the file
[04:51] <fritzophrenic> but also the color of text boxes like the one I'm typing in now
[04:51] <rationalOgre> seraphimblade: sudo lshw -C network > network.txt
[04:51] <fritzophrenic> I'm using an nvidia-made integrated card
[04:51] <fritzophrenic> piece of crap but it's what I have
[04:51] <fritzophrenic> geforce 6100 or something like that
[04:51] <TheLifelessOne> how can I check whenever X is installed?
[04:51] <rationalOgre> aendruk: Oh, ouch. Um. it's gonna be rough to figure out what all was in there...
[04:52] <rinkukokiri> TheLifelessOne, you could try running startx
[04:52] <seraphimblade> rationalOgre; Tried that (well, I used file.txt), but no luck, just get an empty file. Piping into less also has no effect.
[04:52] <fritzophrenic> "Additional Drivers" fails to realize the proprietary driver is in use, but lsmod shows it
[04:52] <TheLifelessOne>  rinkukokiri: Says it's not installed.
[04:52] <NictraSavios> TheLifelessOne, Its probably your xinitrc. That seems about the only thing that could o wrong :/.
[04:52] <rationalOgre> seraphimblade: Then that means that it's not even seeing a network device on your system.
[04:52] <NictraSavios> TheLifelessOne, Did you install the xorg packages?
[04:52] <seraphimblade> rationalOgre: Yes, that is correct. ifconfig shows only lo.
[04:52] <rationalOgre> seraphimblade: Which means the power outage probably killed the card.
[04:52] <TheLifelessOne> NictrraSavios: I had thought the installer had done so.
[04:52] <rinkukokiri> NictraSavios, he doesn't know, he doesn't have startx so...
[04:53] <rationalOgre> seraphimblade: Try shutting down, reinstalling the card and see if it comes back up.
[04:53] <seraphimblade> rationalOgre: It's onboard on the motherboard, you figure it killed only the NIC?
[04:53] <rationalOgre> seraphimblade: It may have a static charge on it.
[04:53] <seraphimblade> The rest of the machine's working fine.
[04:53] <rationalOgre> seraphimblade: It can happen, especially if you got a power surge through the ethernet line.
[04:53] <NictraSavios> TheLifelessOne, Minimal wont.
[04:53] <TheLifelessOne> That'd be why I don't have it then. :/
[04:53] <rationalOgre> seraphimblade: Doublecheck the BIOS and make sure it's not disabled there.
[04:54] <UbuntuQ> rational0gre: this is what's in it TARGETS = INTERACTIVE =
[04:54] <seraphimblade> rationalOgre: Well, worth a shot. I'll check in the BIOS, I can also pull a PCI NIC out of another machine to test with.
[04:54] <rationalOgre> UbuntuQ: Ok, I have no idea what that means, going to have to do some research. Will take me a couple minutes.
[04:54] <rinkukokiri> NictraSavios, would he have to install xserver-xorg-core then??
[04:54] <seraphimblade> It is through a UPS, so I'll be rather irritated if it got surged...
[04:54] <rationalOgre> seraphimblade: If it's not disabled in the bios then chances are it's dead.
[04:55] <rationalOgre> seraphimblade: The ethernet cable runs through the ups?
[04:55] <Snakkah> I have a rather annoying problem. My virtual machine (in VirtualBox) uses transparency like everything else, and I'd rather it not. But I can't seem to find a way to disable transparency for JUST the virtual machine. I tried going to Extra WM Options in Compiz and using the toggle redirect option, but that doesn't make the transparency go away, I have to hold the key combination...
[04:55] <UbuntuQ> rational0gre: alright
[04:55] <Snakkah> So, how do I get transparency to just go away completely for the VM?
[04:55] <seraphimblade> rationalOgre: Yes, it does, the UPS has an in/out Ethernet that runs to the router, and then an Ethernet from the router to my machine. The router's power cord is also plugged into the UPS.
[04:56] <ActionParsnip> Snakkah: disable 3D accelleration
[04:56] <seraphimblade> I think the UPS battery is dead, though, it did not keep the machine up. I don't know if that impacts surge protection.
[04:56] <wujj> Hi everyone. i want to file a bug report, but I didn't find the link in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs, any hints?
[04:56] <tortib> I created a /etc/init.d/local;chmod +x /etc/init.d/local; update-rc.d local defaults 80 ; however it doesn't seem to run when my system boots up, is there something extra I need to do?
[04:56] <TheLifelessOne> Okay! I've installed X now.
[04:57] <TheLifelessOne> How can I get Openbox to start now?
[04:57] <rationalOgre> UbuntuQ: Do you know what service that particular script belongs to?
[04:57] <seraphimblade> regardless, rationalOgre, thanks much for the help/ideas. I'll give them a shot.
[04:57] <bsmith093> suddenly when i try to open an audio cd in gnome, open office blinks open, but immediately crashes and then i get this Error: DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name :1.401 was not provided by any .service files
[04:57] <bsmith093> Please select another viewer and try again.
[04:57] <Snakkah> Didn't work ActionParsnip. :/
[04:57] <rationalOgre> seraphimblade: Best of luck to you sir. Perhaps it was just it's time to "die".
[04:58] <ActionParsnip> TheLifelessOne: run:  startopenbox
[04:58] <billybigrigger> how come facebook chat doesnt work in 11.04?
[04:58] <TheLifelessOne> ActionParsnip: Command not found.
[04:58] <ActionParsnip> billybigrigger: works fine here, what issue are you having
[04:58] <billybigrigger> password failed
[04:59] <UbuntuQ> rational0gre: how can i know that
[04:59] <rinkukokiri> billybigrigger, on the contrary, i am currently connected to two different facebook accounts with empathy and they both run fine
[04:59] <Raikia> billybigrigger: That would be a browser/javascript issue, not ubuntu.
[04:59] <rationalOgre> seraphimblade: if the battery is dead then it may be running in passthrough mode, meaning it's essentially a surge protector.
[04:59] <tuyetmy> hi
[04:59] <ActionParsnip> TheLifelessOne: should have: /usr/bin/startopenbox
[04:59] <tuyetmy> how to change the number of desktops in ubuntu 11.04 ?
[04:59] <rinkukokiri> Raikia, he's prolly using empathy, not a browser, but a chat client
[04:59] <billybigrigger> raikia well i can login to facebook  no problem, just not facebook chat in empathy
[04:59] <UbuntuQ> rational0gre: it's an icon and has an arrow on t
[04:59] <rationalOgre> UbuntuQ: look in /etc/init.d/ and see if there is a depend.boot script
[04:59] <rinkukokiri> billybigrigger, what's the error reported in empathy
[04:59] <TheLifelessOne> ActionParsnip: Nope.
[05:00] <Raikia> rinkukokiri / billybigrigger: Ah, sorry.  I forgot empathy has facebook chat
[05:00] <ActionParsnip> TheLifelessOne: then you should reinstall openbox
[05:00] <UbuntuQ> rational0gre: alright
[05:00] <tortib> can someone help me with creating a rc.local type script? I already created /etc/init.d/local;chmod +x /etc/init.d/local; update-rc.d local defaults 80 ; however it doesn't seem to run when my system boots up, is there something extra I need to do?
[05:00] <TheLifelessOne> ActionParsnip: I'll do that now.
[05:00] <billybigrigger> Disconnected -- Authentication failure
[05:00] <ActionParsnip> TheLifelessOne: do you use lxde?
[05:00] <Raikia> billybigrigger: Is empathy completely up to date?
[05:00] <billybigrigger> and no im not logged into fb while trying to connect via empathy...even if that matters
[05:00] <rinkukokiri> billybigrigger, did you setup a username on facebook?
[05:00] <TheLifelessOne> ActionParsnip: Nope, I used the minimal ISO
[05:00] <billybigrigger> rinkukokiri, yes
[05:01] <billybigrigger> raidgh0st, afaik
[05:01] <billybigrigger> Raikia, afaik
[05:01] <rationalOgre> UbuntuQ: You may have to do "ls -a" to see it as it looks like it's a hidden file.
[05:01] <Raikia> Is it sad that I actually had to google "afaik" to figure out what it meant....I need to get back into this teenager lingo!
[05:01] <rinkukokiri> billybigrigger, well other than checking that the password is correct.. only thing i would say is.. wait a couple mins, and retry  (i.e. exit and restart empathy) sometimes it's a little flaky like that
[05:02] <rinkukokiri> billybigrigger, also, if you JUST setup your username, you gotta physically log out of facebook in your browser and relogin for changes to take effect
[05:02] <UbuntuQ> rational0gre: yeah i can't see it
[05:02] <rationalOgre> UbuntuQ: do "ls -a"
[05:02] <UbuntuQ> rational0gre: how can i do that
[05:02] <billybigrigger> rinkukokiri, i've logged in/out in fb a few times already
[05:03] <rinkukokiri> kk just checkin that part, my only suggestion then is play the waiting game
[05:03] <UbuntuQ> rational0gre: ok i figured it out
[05:03] <UbuntuQ> rational0gre: 1  sec
[05:04] <rinkukokiri> i get 'network error" and ' authentication error' every once in a while with empathy.. usually a restart fixes it...
[05:04] <rationalOgre> UbuntuQ: I found it on my system. I see what you mean. Ok, so where are you seeing the messages you were getting?
[05:04] <ActionParsnip> TheLifelessOne: then try just running openbox
[05:05] <tuyetmy>  how to change the number of desktops in ubuntu 11.04 ?
[05:05] <tuyetmy> anyone knows ?
[05:05] <UbuntuQ> rational0gre: every time i start Ubuntu
[05:05] <tortib> Can someone help me with creating a rc.local type script? I already created /etc/init.d/local;chmod +x /etc/init.d/local; update-rc.d local defaults 80 ; however it doesn't seem to run when my system boots up, is there something extra I need to do?
[05:06] <UbuntuQ> rational0gre: just before the login screen
[05:06] <rationalOgre> UbuntuQ: does it let you log in?
[05:06] <rinkukokiri> tuyetmy, right clickt the worspace switcher (bottom right corner next to trash on the panel) and select preferences, you can increase the number there with the cols and rows
[05:06] <spade_> hye
[05:07] <tuyetmy> rinkukokiri: it's 11.04
[05:07] <tuyetmy> not 10
[05:07] <UbuntuQ> rational0gre: yeah everything works great
[05:07] <terminalclient> Hey all
[05:07] <tuyetmy> rinkukokiri: bottom right is empty
[05:07] <tuyetmy> nothing appears in bottom right
[05:07] <rinkukokiri> tuyetmy, hrm.. i'm running 11.04 too and I have it
[05:07] <UbuntuQ> rational0gre: but there are like a seven of these errors
[05:07] <rinkukokiri> I'm logged into ubuntu classic though
[05:07] <tuyetmy> I have workspace switcher on left
[05:07] <tuyetmy> but can not right click :(
[05:08] <rinkukokiri> another reason i don't run unity :D
[05:08] <UbuntuQ> rational0gre: i saw them using log file viewer
[05:08] <rationalOgre> UbuntuQ: Ok, well then do this in a terminal "sudo update-rc.d .depends.boot remove" (without the quotes)
[05:08] <UbuntuQ> rational0gre: boot.log
[05:09] <UbuntuQ> rational0gre: alright, i'll do that
[05:09] <rationalOgre> sorry .depend.boot
[05:09] <rationalOgre> not .depends
[05:09] <tuyetmy> fuck ubuntu 11.04
[05:09] <tuyetmy> :(
[05:09] <rationalOgre> !language | tuyetmy
[05:10] <rinkukokiri> !classic | tuyetmy
[05:10] <UbuntuQ> rational0gre: Removing any system startup links for /etc/init.d/.depends.boot ...
[05:11] <UbuntuQ> rational0gre: that's what showed up
[05:11] <rationalOgre> UbuntuQ: sorry it should have been "sudo update-rc.d .depend.boot remove"
[05:11] <rationalOgre> I accidentally added an S on..
[05:12] <rationalOgre> UbuntuQ: Then reboot and it shouldn't show up anymore.
[05:13] <UbuntuQ> rational0gre: did the first command gonna mess up anything that i need to fix later
[05:13] <rationalOgre> UbuntuQ: No, it probably just didn't actually remove anything.
[05:13] <rationalOgre> UbuntuQ: Seeing as there is no .depends.boot
[05:13] <openbees> my ubuntu booting is very slow after last grub recovery ...i am using ubuntu 11.04
[05:14] <UbuntuQ> rational0gre: alright
[05:14] <UbuntuQ> rational0gre: update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/.depend.boot exists during rc.d purge (use -f to force)
[05:14] <rationalOgre> openbees: run sudo dmesg -C, then reboot the machine and when it comes back up check dmesg to see if it gives any clue as to why it's taking so much extra time.
[05:14] <UbuntuQ> rational0gre: this is what showed up
[05:15] <rationalOgre> UbuntuQ: sorry it should have been "sudo update-rc.d -f .depend.boot remove"
[05:15] <rationalOgre> UbuntuQ: heh, was lazy and just edited my previous line.
[05:16] <TheLifelessOne> Is there a terminal command that will remove unneeded dependencies?
[05:16] <rationalOgre> openbees: it may have been fsck'ing the drives thus why it took so long. Have you rebooted it more than once since the last grub recovery?
[05:16] <UbuntuQ> rational0gre: no problem, thank for trying to help though, you guys are awesome, 1 sec
[05:17] <UbuntuQ> rational0gre: Removing any system startup links for /etc/init.d/.depend.boot ...    /etc/rc0.d/K20.depend.boot    /etc/rc1.d/K20.depend.boot    /etc/rc2.d/S20.depend.boot    /etc/rc3.d/S20.depend.boot    /etc/rc4.d/S20.depend.boot    /etc/rc5.d/S20.depend.boot    /etc/rc6.d/K20.depend.boot
[05:17] <UbuntuQ> rational0gre: this is what showed up
[05:17] <rationalOgre> TheLifelessOne: sudo apt-get autoclean I believe
[05:17] <TheLifelessOne> Thanks
[05:17] <rationalOgre> UbuntuQ: There, they are scrubbed. Try rebooting and see what happens.
[05:19] <UbuntuQ> rational0gre: alright, vuala, hope it works out, see you in a bit
[05:19] <rationalOgre> TheLifelessOne: Sorry, it was autoremove, I always mess up autoclean and autoremove.
[05:19] <rationalOgre> TheLifelessOne: Though Autoclean doesn't hurt to run.
[05:19] <TheLifelessOne> Alrighty.
[05:19] <TheLifelessOne> Running it now. :D
[05:20] <rationalOgre> TheLifelessOne: autoremove looks for packages that were installed as dependencies but no longer have the primary package installed and nothing else depends upon them.
[05:25] <gul> I want to completly remove unity and gnome and shift to XFCE but don't want to loose any software like Chrome,Vlc, and others . How to do it?
[05:26] <rww> !purexfce
[05:26] <rww> oh, hrm. that'd probably remove vlc and such. never mind.
[05:27] <gul> rww: ummm what else?
[05:28] <gul> rww: thank you !
[05:28] <gul> rww: I want to keep synapse, vlc, gstreamer, pitvi and other third party ......

[05:29] <rww> damnit, my spider sense went off right before that happened.
[05:30] <gorlak500> what was that about?
[05:30] <rww> gorlak500: spam, ignore it
[05:30] <gorlak500> damn spam :)
[05:31] <rationalOgre> rww: vlc isn't in there
[05:31] <rww> rationalOgre: I imagine some of its depends are, though, since it's Qt-based.
[05:31] <niku> hi all, I'm looking at partman-auto for preseed/kickstart raid/lvm configuration
[05:31] <niku> and I can't figure out what the numbers in the examples mean: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=927057
[05:31] <niku> looks like, size, offset, last block?
[05:31] <rww> Who knows though. Certainly not me, I just keep assiduous track of what I've manually installed and go from there.
[05:32] <rationalOgre> rww: it won't let you strip a dependency of an installed package unless you force it.
[05:32] <rationalOgre> rww: At least I don't believe it will.
[05:32] <rationalOgre> gorlak500: That actually wasn't spam, it's true.
[05:32] <rww> rationalOgre: No, it isn't.
[05:33] <rationalOgre> rww: The ops in #freenode seemed to think it was.
[05:33] <rww> rationalOgre: and yes, actually, it will, given that I just did sudo apt-get purge libqtcore4 and it's happily suggesting that I remove half my desktop.
[05:33] <rationalOgre> rww: try remove instead of purge
[05:34] <rww> rationalOgre: same result, which is entirely unsurprising.
[05:34] <rationalOgre> rww: it boggles the mind....
[05:34] <rww> jmcantrell: ignore my PM, we just removed the quiet on irccloud instead :)
[05:34] <rationalOgre> rww: Ah well, learn something new.
[05:34] <Flannel> rationalOgre: yeah, it assumes you know what you're doing, and will just remove things that depend on it.
[05:34] <rationalOgre> I guess you could reinstall them after you strip back.
[05:35] <gnewb> And make a backup, regularly, daily, hourly if possible.
[05:36] <gorlak500> rationalOgre, so we will be unable to connect unless we setup our orchestra clients a certain way?
[05:36] <gorlak500> client even
[05:36] <rww> gorlak500: Again, that message is spam. rationalOgre is incorrect.
[05:37] <rationalOgre> gorlak500: That was what the ops in #freenode told me the other day. That could have been incorrect information.
[05:37] <rww> rationalOgre: It is. I would not recommend repeating it.
[05:37] <gorlak500> darn auto correct. OK looks like a Google search is in order
[05:37] <oldude67> who hacked it this time?
[05:37] <oldude67> what a pain
[05:37] <rww> oldude67: what?
[05:38] <oldude67> get sent to unregistered
[05:38] <rww> oldude67: identify with nickserv before joining channels, then.
[05:38] <oldude67> i am
[05:38] <rationalOgre> rww: Wouldn't be the first time, nor the last. :) I will do so, sir.
[05:38] <jmcantrell> rww: that's good to hear
[05:38] <rationalOgre> *not repeat it that is*
[05:38] <rww> oldude67: If you were, you wouldn't be sent to #ubuntu-unregged.
[05:39] <oldude67> maybe i got moved faster then it got to that part as well.
[05:39] <oldude67> wouldnt be the first time.
[05:40] <hiexpo> rww, no it's doing that right now for some reason maybe spam or something cause it sent me there to   but easy to go aroung just close the unreg window and relog in again to ubuntu-en   easy   stuff
[05:40] <gnewb> Is 11.04 lighter on resources, Mem. Ram and such?
[05:40] <rationalOgre> Oh well, I guess I use SASL now for no good reason.
[05:40] <rationalOgre> meh, saves me having to wait for nickserv to respond.
[05:41] <rww> hiexpo: Again, your client is not waiting until it's identified before joining channels. This is not some new phenomenon, it's a race condition in your client configuration.
[05:42] <hiexpo> rww, yah could be cause i log into like10 channels at once   like you said a race
[05:42] <rww> I log into upwards of 15 and never have that problem. Though I also have my client set to wait for some seconds before /joining channels ;)
[05:43] <rww> gnewb: than what?
[05:43] <Keeaanu> I have removed nv/nvidia proprietory drivers, and installed nouveau. my login and desktop are good in recovery/failsafe mode, but not in normal mode.
[05:43] <gnewb> rww: 10.04
[05:43] <rww> gnewb: no. it's heavier, if anything.
[05:43] <gnewb> rww: Thank you.
[05:44] <Keeaanu> am using 10.10 on a old geforce 6100 card.
[05:44] <hiexpo> rww, where is that option located in xchat at i will do that also   > it don't happen   a lot but once in awhile it does
[05:44] <rww> hiexpo: no idea, I don't use xchat. Try asking #freenode or #xchat
[05:45] <IdleOne> hiexpo: /set irc_join_delay 10
[05:46] <rww> or IdleOne. That works too. Keeps him occupied.
[05:46] <IdleOne> hiexpo: that will make exchat wait 10 seconds before joining channels
[05:46] <IdleOne> xchat*
[05:46] <Keeaanu> I have removed nv/nvidia proprietory drivers, and installed nouveau. my login and desktop are good in recovery/failsafe mode, but not in normal mode. geforce 6100 ubuntu 10.10
[05:46] <IdleOne> hiexpo: the default is to wait 3 seconds but sometimes it takes xchat/nickserv a little longer
[05:47] <gnewb> Keeaanu: I have a homebuilt box, is 512Ram, P-4, no extra stuff, so I guess I stick with this stripped down 10.04.
[05:48] <adamsmeat> hello everyone. can someone suggest the best way to accomplish this? i have local LAMP already setup and I have installed phpBB. this particular installation, i want the files to be read only but other writable folders should remain writable. I end up thinking that assigning root as the owner of the directory will get it done?
[05:48] <ActionParsnip> Keeaanu: install nvidia-current   you may need to run:  sudo nvidia-xconfig   too
[05:49] <Keeaanu> I tried, nvidia 173/260/270 (current) no luck.
[05:49] <adamsmeat> the reason for the above procedure is so that i can maintain a phpBB folder with all files intact
[05:49] <Keeaanu> i tried using nvidia-config too.
[05:49] <kneaux_> Is there any way to trick a program into thinking /dev/cdrom1 is /dev/cdrom?

[06:04] <arunkumar413_> how to recover the libreoffice document.
[06:04] <rationalOgre> UbuntuQ: that nixes those two. I'm leery of nuking the others, though I imagine we can. Did you upgrade ubuntu recently?
[06:04] <amin`> does any one knows if it is possible to create pppoe connection (dialer) for wired adsl ?
[06:05] <rationalOgre> arunkumar413_: did you already run the builtin recovery thing when lib0 starts?
[06:05] <UbuntuQ> rationalOgre: http://paste.ubuntu.com/626337/
[06:05] <ActionParsnip> !adsl
[06:05] <rationalOgre> UbuntuQ: Yep, that's the expected output.
[06:05] <arunkumar413_> rationalOgre: yes, i did but was unable to recover. more over the file is empty although i saved it before the power went off
[06:06] <rationalOgre> arunkumar413_: Ugh, I'm sorry then, but if the builtin recovery wasn't able to save it then it's most likely dead.
[06:07] <rationalOgre> arunkumar413_: You can try prying it open using gunzip. Just rename it to filename.odt.gz and then run gunzip -x filename.odt.gz
[06:07] <arunkumar413_> rationalOgre: but i'm not understanding why is it empty even though i saved it
[06:07] <rationalOgre> arunkumar413_: See if it will spit out the internal files for you.
[06:07] <rationalOgre> Well, don't just rename it, copy it to filename.gz, sorry.
[06:07] <arunkumar413_> rationalOgre: internal files?
[06:08] <rationalOgre> arunkumar413_: yes. .odt is actually an archive format.
[06:08] <rationalOgre> arunkumar413_: essentially a renamed .zip file
[06:08] <arunkumar413_> rationalOgre: ok, i archieved it
[06:08] <UbuntuQ> rationalOgre: it's 10.10, i didn't upgrade to 11.04, though i tried it on another computer, i didn't like using it, it's  too modern, lol.
[06:08] <rationalOgre> arunkumar413_: can you unzip it?
[06:08] <UbuntuQ> rationalOgre: but i always update th system
[06:09] <rationalOgre> UbuntuQ: That shouldn't have been the problem. I don't know why it all of the sudden installed all these startup scripts in rc*.d
[06:09] <mrdeb> UbuntuQ: what is modern
[06:09] <rationalOgre> UbuntuQ: That's what I'm trying to figure out.
[06:09] <arunkumar413_> rationalOgre: when i try to unzip it asking me to overwrite the existing file
[06:09] <gnewb> Thank you all kindly.
[06:10] <rationalOgre> mrdeb: I imagine he means he didn't care for unity.
[06:10] <mrdeb> rationalOgre: yes you mean the tablet gui
[06:10] <rww> ...
[06:10] <mrdeb> ubunt tablet edition
[06:10] <rationalOgre> arunkumar413_: copy the file out of there to another directory then go ahead and let it, see what happens.
[06:10] <bazhang> mrdeb, there is no more une, it's all the same now
[06:10] <bazhang> !une | mrdeb
[06:11] <UbuntuQ> rationalOgre: yeah i wish we find a way to get rid of all that
[06:11] <mrdeb> thats not wha i mean
[06:11] <rationalOgre> UbuntuQ: You can, at login you can select classic
[06:11] <bazhang> UbuntuQ, use classic then

[06:11] <UbuntuQ> mrdeb: Ubuntu 11.04, the style
[06:11] <seraphimblade> rationalOgre: I think you were right, and it won't recognize anything. Even trying with a PCI card from another machine and a live CD, it won't recognize a thing.

[06:16] <happyguy7> hello everyone
[06:17] <rationalOgre> happyguy7: Hello and welcome.
[06:17] <upgrdman> how do i tell the kernel to ignore a certain pci device and not load any modules for it?
[06:17] <happyguy7> =)
[06:17] <happyguy7> upgrdman: why would you want to do that?
[06:17] <rationalOgre> upgrdman: blacklist the driver?
[06:17] <rationalOgre> upgrdman: disable it in the bios?
[06:17] <upgrdman> its loading a bunch of buggy modules that crash. its a tv tuner card and loads maybe 15 modules
[06:18] <happyguy7> 15, wow
[06:18] <happyguy7> probably doesn't need all those
[06:18] <upgrdman> rationalOgre, can't find a way to do that with my bios :(
[06:18] <upgrdman> well its a bunch of dvb modules, and they all seem to depend of eachother
[06:18] <theiry> exit
[06:18] <theiry> oops
[06:19] <UbuntuQ> rationalOgre: http://paste.ubuntu.com/626342/
[06:19]  * TSG slaps theiry with a large trout
[06:19] <upgrdman> so no way to tell the kernel to ignore a certain pci device?
[06:19] <kneaux_> I want to run two instances of ripperx (or whatever) and trick one of them into thinking /dev/cdrom1 is /dev/cdrom. How can I make this happen?
[06:20] <rationalOgre> UbuntuQ: Ok, looks like upstart has all the jobs that it's trying to force into the old init.d mode
[06:21] <rationalOgre> UbuntuQ: So you can safely go through and do "sudo update-rc.d -f <modulename> remove" (just don't add the S20 and whatnot
[06:21] <ActionParsnip> upgrdman: you can blacklist the driver module
[06:21] <upgrdman> how
[06:21] <rationalOgre> UbuntuQ: So for example "sudo update-rc.d -f acpid remove"
[06:21] <rationalOgre> alsa-mixer-save
[06:21] <ActionParsnip> upgrdman: find out what module it uses to make it work then add a line in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf:  blacklist modulename
[06:21] <rationalOgre> anacron
[06:22] <rationalOgre> UbuntuQ: You get the gist?
[06:22] <hylian> exit
[06:22] <UbuntuQ> rationalOgre: not sure i did
[06:22] <hylian> oops
[06:22] <rationalOgre> UbuntuQ: as long as there is a corresponding .conf file in /etc/init you're golden to remove the rc*.d links.
[06:23] <UbuntuQ> rationalOgre: what's this <modulename>
[06:23] <rationalOgre> UbuntuQ: A "variable". Meaning <replace this with what you want to remove>
[06:24] <rationalOgre> See how in the example instead of <modulename> I put acpid
[06:24] <UbuntuQ> rationalOgre: and what's this acpid
[06:24] <rationalOgre> UbuntuQ: I'm pulling the module names from this pastebin you gave me, http://paste.ubuntu.com/626334/
[06:25] <tasslehoff> I have a laptop with ATI graphics. Sometimes it stands alone, sometimes a 24" is connected via HDMI. I want a setup where I only get picture on the external monitor when it is plugged in. Anyone know how?
[06:25] <rationalOgre> acpid is a daemon for dealing with power stuff. However, it's been upgraded to boot in a new way, and thus the old method of using /etc/rc*.d/ files is no longer needed.
[06:25] <UbuntuQ> rationalOgre: yeah i see it there
[06:26] <UbuntuQ> rationalOgre: in this line, Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8) utility, e.g. service S20acpid start
[06:26] <JamezQ11> I have a problem, my internal webcam, on my hp dv6 laptop no longer works, it worked in ubuntu 9.04-10.10 , is there any reason for this, how can I troubleshoot this?
[06:26] <rationalOgre> Each line that you see that says "blahblah has been updated to use Upstart" you can run "sudo update-rc.d -f blahblah remove"
[06:26] <rationalOgre> Like I said though, just don't add the S20
[06:27] <rationalOgre> acipid is the name of the script, not S20acpid.
[06:27] <rationalOgre> UbuntuQ: Understand?
[06:28] <mrdeb> JamezQ11: maybe the driver is not spported
[06:28] <UbuntuQ> rationalOgre: alright
[06:29] <JamezQ11> mrdeb: Well, how can I add it, do I just have to revert to a later version of ubuntu?
[06:29] <kiichiro> hey I used to know the command but forgot it, how do you shut down the ehfs or efhs? the thing that forces usb 2.0
[06:29] <rationalOgre> UbuntuQ: So you see the line that says S20alsa-mixer-save, the command you would run for that is "sudo update-rc.d -f alsa-mixer-save remove"
[06:30] <UbuntuQ> rationalOgre: right
[06:30] <rationalOgre> I still am curious as to why this happened, but perhaps I shall never know. :D
[06:32] <UbuntuQ> rationalOgre: so what the command will be to remove or fix this last one you think
[06:32] <UbuntuQ> rationalOgre: oh you already put it
[06:33] <rationalOgre> kiichiro: You mean EHCI?
[06:33] <UbuntuQ> rationalOgre: my bad, didn't notice, hahha
[06:33] <rationalOgre> UbuntuQ: "sudo update-rc.d -f apport remove"
[06:34] <rationalOgre> UbuntuQ: If you notice, all we are doing is "sudo update-rc.d -f SomeService remove"
[06:35] <rationalOgre> Where SomeService is the name of a script that has been linked into the rc*.d folders
[06:35] <UbuntuQ> rationalOgre: right

[06:43] <kiichiro> well is the vm runnin
[06:44] <theadmin> cmartin: We can
[06:44] <rationalOgre> kiichiro: Later on on that page it talks about a script you can write to do the disabling easily.
[06:44] <ActionParsnip> klown: try:  sudo nvidia-xconfig
[06:44] <kiichiro> yeah
[06:44] <rationalOgre> kiichiro: So you can kill it with just a simple script when you want to use the drive.
[06:44] <cmartin> thanks to everybody
[06:44] <kiichiro> yeah but my memorizing with all this new stuff is confusing
[06:44] <klown> ActionParsnip, I've tried.  doesnt help.
[06:45] <ActionParsnip> klown: then manually edit xorg.conf to use the res you desire (or is that what you have done)?
[06:45] <klown> ActionParsnip, I appreciate the attempt, but all of this is posted in the ubuntuforums link I posted.
[06:46] <Raikia> So, I have two monitors (TwinView), and I got the xconfig file all set correctly (through nvidia-settings).  Everything appears correctly when I am logged into gnome, but at the login screen, it shows on the secondary monitor instead of the primary (its the default primary due to the port, but secondary as specified in the x config file).  Does anyone know how to fix it so the login screen is on the other monitor?
[06:46] <rationalOgre> klown: Does your tv have the options like a computer monitor to adjust according to the input? I ask because I had a monitor that gave me issues and I just used the settings on the monitor to make it display properly.
[06:46] <klown> rationalOgre, someone suggested it today, so I tried it.  and it didnt work, actually looked worse.
[06:46] <rationalOgre> klown: Just saw that, sorry
[06:47] <klown> I'm out of ideas.  I've probably followed 30+ guides to changing resolution, editing xorg.conf, using xrandr.
[06:47] <ActionParsnip> klown: you didn't outline if you had editted the file
[06:48] <klown> ActionParsnip, quote " I have also tried adjusting the /etc/X11/xorg.conf files, and nothing there. I am out of ideas."
[06:48] <ActionParsnip> klown: in the display subsection, add your resolution there
[06:50] <ActionParsnip> klown: you may also need to add the option for the refresh rate there too
[06:50] <ActionParsnip> klown: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/ubuntu-linux/76471-nvidia-xorg-conf.html
[06:50] <GSF1200S> anyone know what conditions make Twinview unavailable? I would like to try it but its grayed out in nvidia-settings. I have 2 monitors of the same resolution each connected to a seperate video card
[06:50] <ActionParsnip> klown: notice the resolutions listed in the screen section
[06:51] <klown> I've looked through the manual for my tv, and for my video card, and I picked the highest supported resolution that they shared, and I tried adding it to xorg, using the xrandr modeline, and tried just adding it, with and without refreshrate
[06:51] <klown> and it didnt work.

[06:55] <spectre51> anyone have any suggestions for trying to use the ubuntu 11.04 live cd with a macbook pro 8,1  keep getting the "Unable to find a medium containing a live file system" error
[06:56] <[V13]Axel> So there's no way at all that I can unify them on Lucid at all? I don't really want to upgrade to 11.04 just to achieve that simple consistency...
[06:56] <klown> ActionParsnip, in this howto..https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution , about 3/4 of the way down is "adding undetected resolutions ", I tried that way as well.  Didn't work.
[06:56] <susundberg> hey my mic went mute after some updates, any idea what caused this?
[06:57] <ActionParsnip> klown: did you specify the refresh rate too?
[06:57] <susundberg> (pavucontrol does not show any input, but mic works fine on other machine)
[06:57] <rationalOgre> klown: Have you looked at this one? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/HDMI
[06:57] <klown> ActionParsnip, Yes, I followed my tv manual, and it said via HDMI, the highest resolution is 1280x1024@60
[06:58] <klown> rationalOgre, thats one of the 30 I used :P
[06:58] <rationalOgre> klown: ok
[06:58] <ActionParsnip> klown: Modes "1280x1024@60" "1024x768@60" "800x600@60" "720x400@60" "720x350@60" "640x480@60"
[06:58] <ActionParsnip> klown: that's all I got
[06:58] <klown> 1280x1024@60 should work.
[06:58] <klown> per my tv's manual..
[07:01] <klown> im going to try it again, brb
[07:01] <harry> what up niggs
[07:02] <Guest26256> what up niggs
[07:02] <Guest26256> anyone here
[07:02] <Guest26256> ???
[07:03] <theadmin> Guest26256: Please watch your language and stay ontopic, read the guidelines as well
[07:03] <Guest26256> what the fuck
[07:03] <Guest26256> is this shit
[07:04] <FloodBot1> Guest26256: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:04] <IdleOne> !language | Guest26256
[07:04] <ActionParsnip> Guest26256: do you have a support question?
[07:06] <iceroot> is there a way to set "Tags add: Patch" by myself? cant find that option and if i add a patch, after some hours/days a ubuntu-dev is adding that tag. so am i missing something or is that the normal way?
[07:06] <iceroot> on launchpad
[07:08] <tsimpson> iceroot: there is a small pencil icon by the "Tags:" section, click that (more help is in #launchpad)
[07:08] <iceroot> tsimpson: thx
[07:09] <susundberg> hey what is later stock kernel? 39-0 or 38-X ?
[07:09] <iceroot> susundberg: 39-0
[07:09] <theadmin> susundberg: 39 is bigger, so is later.
[07:10] <susundberg> Yes, i was wondering did that 39-0 come from backports or from normal repository.
[07:10] <susundberg> thanks!
[07:10] <klown> ActionParsnip, after I add that mode to my xorg.conf what logs would be helpful?  just the xorg.conf and the Xorg.0.log files?
[07:10] <ActionParsnip> klown: as far as I am aware, yes
[07:11] <iceroot> susundberg: 2.6.39-x is 11.10 and came also from backports
[07:11] <slack-m> PHP Fatal error:  Call to a member function getClientConf() on a non-object in /usr/local/installs/pugbot/ircpug/parser.php on line 83
[07:11] <slack-m> anyone have any idea?
[07:11] <ActionParsnip> klown: you can run:  grep ee /var/log/Xorg.0.log    to see just the errors
[07:12] <susundberg> So 39-0 is from backports?
[07:12] <tsimpson> slack-m: it's a bug in that software, you should report it to whoever made that software
[07:12] <slack-m> well
[07:12] <iceroot> susundberg: apt-cache policy will show you where it came from
[07:12] <dijonyummy123> is there a way to restart network services on ubuntu without logging out and rebooting
[07:12] <slack-m> it works fine on ubuntu remote sevrer
[07:12] <susundberg> oh, thanks!
[07:12] <ActionParsnip> dijonyummy123: sudo service networking stop; sudo service networking start
[07:12] <slack-m> tsimpson, it runs great on ubuntu server, but an exact dup, fresh gives me that error on another machine
[07:12] <iceroot> dijonyummy123: sudo service networking restart (before it was sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart)
[07:13] <slack-m> tsimpson, and i wrong soe of this
[07:13] <klown> ActionParsnip, its not showing errors, its just showing stuff with 'ee' in it..ie "screen" "wheel"
[07:13] <ActionParsnip> susundberg: 39 is an Oneiric kernel
[07:13] <tsimpson> slack-m: it's still a bug in that software
[07:13] <ActionParsnip> klown: try capital EEs, sorry
[07:13] <slack-m> tsimpson, alright, hrm :/
[07:14] <klown> ActionParsnip, [ 33476.276] (EE) Logitech USB Receiver: failed to initialize for relative axes

[07:14] <miahotrod> Hi All I have 11.4 and the desktop keeps reverting back to the old desktop
[07:14] <ActionParsnip> klown: is it a webcam?
[07:14] <dijonyummy123> i get a "unknown instance" error with sudo service networking restart
[07:14] <hexacode> is this an error message from the service utility? anyone know? http://pastebin.com/PA4uwu0w
[07:14] <klown> ActionParsnip, Mouse.
[07:15] <ActionParsnip> klown: try unpluggin it, see if it helps (worth a shot)
[07:15] <dijonyummy123> something weird happen in 10.10. nautilus cant browse smb servers. none. just disappeared. even after restart nautilus
[07:15] <klown> ActionParsnip, just wondering but what would my mouse have to do with my display?
[07:15] <ActionParsnip> hexacode: users cannot manipulate services, add sudo
[07:15] <hexacode> thanks
[07:15] <ActionParsnip> klown: its part of the x server
[07:15] <tsimpson> hexacode: you need to use sudo with that command, not a great error message though
[07:16] <dijonyummy123> happened a cople times before
[07:21] <hexacode> can someone help me with my vsftpd server?  heres the error im getting http://pastebin.com/n16SdYpG
[07:27] <Guest49056> hi, can someone assist me on switching to transmission-cli from gui, my screen isn't usable for a while
[07:29] <ActionParsnip> Guest49056: enable the web ui and you can manage it via web browser or tansgui
[07:29] <Lasers> Guest49056: #transmission -- Useful channel.  I'd agree with ActionParsnip. Web browser is very easy. :)
[07:30] <Guest49056> ActionParsnip: oh, haven't thought of that, thanks ill try
[07:30] <ActionParsnip> Guest49056: from another pc obviously. Or you can use transdroid on android devices
[07:33] <Guest49056> ActionParsnip: I got 403 in tablet
[07:35] <ActionParsnip> Guest49056: in the web ui config tab, uncheck the box saying only permit certain IPs. The default is to only allow localhost
[07:35] <Guest49056> ActionParsnip: anyway how i will start it from cli?
[07:35] <storm_> p
[07:36] <ActionParsnip> Guest49056: just because you don't have a monitor doesn't mean the GUI can't load
[07:37] <Kiwilady> can i please have sum help wiv dns servers?
[07:37] <Guest49056> ActionParsnip: point is i have to use cli(not run X)
[07:37] <ActionParsnip> Kiwilady: sure, if you type properly
[07:38] <hexacode> ActionParsnip i connected to my ftp server and set the configuration file for the correct directory, and then i put a testfile into the directory to see if i connected to the correct directory, but i dont see the file...so im assuming im in thee wrong directory...what can i do about this?
[07:38] <theadmin> Guest49056: There is always utserver or deluge, why stick to Transmission exactly?
[07:38] <Kiwilady> Okay can we do in privite? as i may need to say ip address
[07:38] <ActionParsnip> Guest49056: i believe it adds itself to the startup items
[07:39] <IdleOne> Kiwilady: your ip is already public
[07:39] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: What, Transmission? No it doesn't
[07:39] <UbuntuQ> Hello there
[07:39] <niez> hi, how to enable/disable services?
[07:39] <theadmin> niez: update-rc.d
[07:39] <ActionParsnip> Kiwilady: why, its dns. Just use variables in your description
[07:40] <Guest49056> ActionParsnip: no lets suppose the situation, im running docked transmission here and web ui just enable, i can access now from tablet, so suppose im shutting down X, how i will start transmission?
[07:40] <Kiwilady> Okay my problem is im told by my isp that they do not support linux due to they don't no the required dns server
[07:40] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: well, that's not annoying. Not even the cli one?
[07:40] <theadmin> Kiwilady: Set <IP_ADDRESS> and <IP_ADDRESS> as your DNS servers, that'll usually work just fine
[07:41] <hexacode> Kiwilady umm lol did they just tell u that linux cant connect to a windows server
[07:41] <Guest49056> ActionParsnip: ok, whatever, lets just waste one terminal to run it
[07:41] <Kiwilady> um ive tryed both of them and they don't let me browser the internet(im on windows PC right now)
[07:42] <Kiwilady> no they said there help desk doesn't support help for linux
[07:42] <niez> theadmin, this looks good, I was unable to find nothing similar on any forum
[07:42] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: I never used the cli transmission
[07:42] <theadmin> niez: What looks good?
[07:42] <ActionParsnip> Guest49056: you may need to find an upstart script or simply run it in its own scree
[07:42] <niez> update-rc.d
[07:42] <theadmin> niez: Ah
[07:42] <ActionParsnip> Screen
[07:43] <niez> theadmin, but I can't see options for listing current configuration
[07:44] <niez> how can I set order of services?
[07:44] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: then how do you know it doesnt get added. It'd make sense to
[07:44] <theadmin> niez: There's that NN option
[07:44] <Kiwilady> i can connect with ethernet cable but not wireless but my wirless connection on ubuntu says its connected to my modem
[07:44] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: I thought you meant the GUI one
[07:45] <theadmin> Kiwilady: Ah, now that explains it -- wireless problems
[07:45] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: not this time dude
[07:45] <Kiwilady> Okay so can you help me fix it?
[07:45] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: Sorry for the misunderstanding
[07:45] <UbuntuQ> Anyone knows what steps or programs i should use to clean out the system
[07:45] <theadmin> UbuntuQ: bleachbit
[07:46] <Gorilla_No_Baka> hello gents
[07:46] <Gorilla_No_Baka> anyone alive?
[07:46] <frankS2> errbody dead
[07:46] <Gorilla_No_Baka> lol
[07:46] <theadmin> Gorilla_No_Baka: Ask the question
[07:46] <UbuntuQ> theadmin: how can i get it
[07:46] <theadmin> UbuntuQ: apt-get, as usual
[07:47] <ActionParsnip> Ubuntuq: bleachbit is good. Close as many apps as you can before running it and run as user and root
[07:47] <Kiwilady> Okay so can you help me fix it?
[07:47] <UbuntuQ> theadmin: alright, does that help speed up the system kinda
[07:48] <UbuntuQ> ActionParsnip: i will
[07:48] <ActionParsnip> Ubuntuq: avoid options stating they will take a long time and watch options or you'll clean options you want to keep
[07:49] <niez> I've installed clonezilla server yesterday, first it messed up my firewall (shorewall doesn't start), then I removed clonezilla, nfs, portmap and (they was installed as dependencies) and now cups doesn't start, I removed and installed cups and now I can't connect to my server (i'm on my way to office), what's going on?
[07:49] <Kiwilady> ???
[07:49] <UbuntuQ> ActionParsnip: alright
[07:50] <niez> I belive clonezilla messed up mu init scripts, how can I easy fix this?
[07:51] <anAngel> Hello, which is the best officially supported virtualization on ubuntu server lts (10.04.2)? KVM doesn't work on the machine I am trying to install it. Thanks
[07:51] <UbuntuQ> ActionParsnip: i'm not an expert yet you know guys, so i wish i wont riun a think, lol
[07:51] <UbuntuQ> a thing
[07:51] <Gorilla_No_Baka> anyway.. for whoever it might be interested...Last time i really had provblems with skype  ( using the last version) .Eevery time i would try to send my web cam skype would freeze the whole computer living me with no option but to reboot using the "power off" button i came to the channel and ask for direction because i was lost..(that was the first time ever for me to have this kind of behaviour on linux) people`s advice ranged from preloadin the drive
[07:52] <theadmin> Gorilla_No_Baka: Skype is a Microsoft product now... That's their evil plan I guess?
[07:52] <Gorilla_No_Baka> theadmin:  not yet ..
[07:53] <th^^> anAngel: kvm is the best, but if the machine doesn't support it, it isn't really server-worthy hardware :)
[07:53] <Kiwilady> is there any body here that can help me with wireless dns settings?
[07:53] <Gorilla_No_Baka> but yeah .. i see where you`re coming from..
[07:55] <AJ4X> hey
[07:55] <sara2010> hi
[07:55] <sara2010> any one there
[07:55] <AJ4X> sup?
[07:56] <Gorilla_No_Baka> now... anybody knows some nice tweaks/tricks to speed up gnome?? i mean other than use low resurces and echo "gtk-menu-popup-delay = 0" >> ~/.gtkrc-2.0
[07:56] <sara2010> hi  i m using ubuntu 10.10 i create one file on openoffice ..  its important for me ..  now i m going to open that file its showing garbage ; what  to  do :(
[07:56] <UbuntuQ> no only me, sara,hehe
[07:56] <celthunder> Gorilla_No_Baka: unload it entirely
[07:56] <celthunder> Kiwilady: what about wireless dns
[07:56] <theadmin> sara2010: What are you opening it with, same openoffice?
[07:56] <Gorilla_No_Baka> hmz
[07:57] <Gorilla_No_Baka>  i so wish
[07:57] <Gorilla_No_Baka>  i am a open box user
[07:57] <UbuntuQ> kiding, ask your questions, these people are awesome
[07:57] <sara2010> theadmin,   ya  opening with  same openoffice
[07:57] <celthunder> Gorilla_No_Baka: so use openbox lol i use xmonad...can't stand gnome
[07:57] <Kiwilady> Okay my problem is im told by my isp that they do not support linux due to they don't no the required dns server
[07:57] <Gorilla_No_Baka> but this computer would be used by my GF so ... she needs some "windows like" gnome behaviour  :))
[07:57] <Kiwilady> but ive tryed <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:57] <Kiwilady> and <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:58] <celthunder> yeah those hsould work fine
[07:58] <theadmin> Gorilla_No_Baka: Better install KDE then...
[07:58] <Gorilla_No_Baka> lol
[07:58] <celthunder> Kiwilady: did you put those in /etc/resolv.conf<.head>
[07:58] <Gorilla_No_Baka> that`s actually even worst
[07:58] <theadmin> Gorilla_No_Baka: My gf uses fluxbox -_-
[07:58] <theadmin> Gorilla_No_Baka: No luck for ya :P
[07:58] <Gorilla_No_Baka> this little baby only has 223 MBram
[07:58] <Gorilla_No_Baka> theadmin:  your gf is more openminded than mine then..
[07:58] <celthunder> Gorilla_No_Baka: yeah i'd say go back to openbox then
[07:58] <sara2010> theadmin,  ..
[07:59] <celthunder> Gorilla_No_Baka: add trayer ?
[07:59] <theadmin> sara2010: Sorry, then, no idea. Probably it broke it while saving
[07:59] <anAngel> th^^: it is an old hardware and I would like to make some easier portability for the services placed on with using some virtualization like containers but do not know which is the best officially supported in ubuntu
[07:59] <Kiwilady> uh im unfimlmair with those terms i smiply used the ivp4 maunel selection
[08:00] <Kiwilady> sorry for my bad spelling im not very good
[08:00] <celthunder> Kiwilady: cat /etc/resolv.conf what's listed?
[08:00] <Gorilla_No_Baka> yeah.. she does not like openbox,blackbox,fluxbox,jwm icewm,lxde... i have been trough most of it.. the only one she was able to use (after i moded and deleted the lower panel and moved the upper panel down deleted everything from it  and installed only one click main menu )
[08:01] <Gorilla_No_Baka> well the only one she was able to use and liked was gnome.. so go figure
[08:01] <Kiwilady> Okay 1 second it on a diff pc ill go and check
[08:01] <theadmin> Gorilla_No_Baka: Weird.
[08:01] <celthunder> Gorilla_No_Baka: ouch...my gf gets what i put on the comp and if she doesn't like it she can damn well go buy her own comp :)
[08:01] <Gorilla_No_Baka> i know..
[08:01] <Gorilla_No_Baka> lol
[08:02] <celthunder> but then i'm a jerk like that
[08:02] <Gorilla_No_Baka>  no option here celthunder ... i live in UK so a new computer would cost me a friggin fortune
[08:02] <Gorilla_No_Baka> :))
[08:02] <theadmin> Gorilla_No_Baka: Well considering that mine is the person who introduced me to Linux as such, heh...
[08:02] <Gorilla_No_Baka> all right theadmin
[08:02] <theadmin> Gorilla_No_Baka: I suppose mine is weirder then :D
[08:02] <slack-m> hey, so why would php work just fine with mysql for apache, but be totally borked for cli php? says call to undefined function mysql_connect()
[08:02] <Gorilla_No_Baka> so.. what`s the score with the stupid unity?
[08:02] <slack-m> php+mysql*
[08:03] <Gorilla_No_Baka> man.. i hate that stuff as much i hate KDE
[08:03] <theadmin> Gorilla_No_Baka: Unity is better than GNOME 3 but worse than anything else
[08:03] <celthunder> Gorilla_No_Baka: morons making new useless wm's for more wasting of time...btw gnome3 is even worse than kde (if possible)
[08:04] <celthunder> Kiwilady: ? what's in your /etc/resolv.conf should be nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>
[08:04] <celthunder> Kiwilady: or some other nameserver
[08:04] <Gorilla_No_Baka> you know.. they should go make a openpoxunubtu.. the lubuntu is a nice try but it still lacks functionality
[08:04] <kiwilady1> sry i dissconnected
[08:05] <celthunder> Gorilla_No_Baka: i got ubuntu on one system but i had to use debootstrap to even get close to a reasonable system
[08:05] <celthunder> aka not a ton of crap
[08:05] <celthunder> kiwilady1: it's fine
[08:05] <theadmin> Gorilla_No_Baka: crunchbang?
[08:05] <Gorilla_No_Baka> anyway.. you know what`s really funny?  the same gnome installed on a debian box boots in 50-60 MB of ram.. The same on a ubuntu box needs 200
[08:05] <Gorilla_No_Baka> :))
[08:06] <theadmin> Gorilla_No_Baka: Ah wait, crunchbang is debian-based now
[08:06] <kiwilady1> ill be back in 1 min i just wrote down the path to get this file up
[08:06] <goveax> Hi! For some reason in gnome notification area the size of icon 1x1px. Has anyone  encountered this problem?
[08:06] <UbuntuQ> once i installed fsdisk, but i don't know where would it be, or how to find it, anyone knows
[08:06] <celthunder> Gorilla_No_Baka: i think ubuntu includes gnome-extra which is a TON of useless packages...debian probably doesn't
[08:06] <Gorilla_No_Baka> yeah crunch is debian.. and by the way it friggn rocks.
[08:07] <theadmin> Gorilla_No_Baka: archbang > crunchbang
[08:07] <celthunder> theadmin: that based on arch? cause that's the distro i'm running
[08:07] <theadmin> celthunder: Yeah
[08:07] <Gorilla_No_Baka> no.. i like a purea arch.. no friggin archbang an no ganbang :P
[08:07] <celthunder> lol yeah
[08:08] <celthunder> Gorilla_No_Baka: so why you uing ubuntu lol arch defintily has a smaller footprint
[08:08] <Gorilla_No_Baka> I am not using Ubuntu
[08:08] <celthunder> and better support for other wm/de
[08:08] <Gorilla_No_Baka> this is the laptop i set for my GF
[08:08] <theadmin> Gorilla_No_Baka: Give her Mint, hey
[08:08] <Gorilla_No_Baka> http://oi52.tinypic.com/24ow075.jpg  HERE IS what I USE
[08:08] <kiwilady1> can i connect to this server via the standard IRC progam in linux?
[08:09] <Gorilla_No_Baka> theadmin:  this ol` cluncky has only 223 MBRAM
[08:09] <kiwilady1> it will make it easy as my computers are 20meteres away from each other
[08:09] <celthunder> kiwilady1: ? theres a standard irc program? which one irssi ircii weechat xchat other?
[08:09] <celthunder> kiwilady1: and if you're online sure... irc.freenode.net/6667
[08:09] <theadmin> kiwilady1: You sure can
[08:09] <celthunder> kiwilady1: /join #ubuntu
[08:09] <theadmin> kiwilady1: Just fire up xchat
[08:09] <rewati> hi there
[08:09] <kiwilady1> Okay ill Be Right Back
[08:09] <theadmin> Gorilla_No_Baka: Ah right
[08:10] <celthunder> Gorilla_No_Baka: nice can i pm you ?
[08:10] <rewati> by mistake i formated my external hard drive and now it has bsd file system. Is there a way i can get by data back which was there before formating
[08:10] <rewati> please help
[08:11] <celthunder> rewati: what'd you do to format ? just redo the tables or did you literally write 0's?
[08:11] <theadmin> rewati: Use testdsik, but chances are that it won't be exactly what it used to be
[08:11] <Gorilla_No_Baka> and you wanna know why.. because you can not just beat that http://oi52.tinypic.com/2liwml3.jpg
[08:11] <rewati> ok
[08:11] <Gorilla_No_Baka> :)
[08:11] <Gorilla_No_Baka> celthunder:  go ahead buddy
[08:12] <bhavesh> Is there any way in which I can pack my currently installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my pendrive and use it somewhere else like my school?
 is ther a way to recover a file on a disk which was cut and pasted at other location
[08:12] <rewati> theadmin: is ther a way to recover a file on a disk which was cut and pasted at other location
[08:13] <theadmin> rewati: With testdisk? Yes. However it's not exactly testdisk which does all the file recovery, but the "Photorec" part of it
[08:13] <UbuntuQ> once i installed fsdisk, but i don't know where would it be, or how to find it, anyone knows
[08:13] <theadmin> rewati: Also, the file names will turn into mess like "f5192fa2.mp3"
[08:14] <rewati> theadmin: so photorec is the utility??
[08:14] <theadmin> rewati: It comes with Testdisk, but yeah
[08:15] <celthunder> bhavesh: yeah sure
[08:15] <bhavesh> celthunder: just copy my file system to pendrive?
[08:15] <celthunder> bhavesh: assuming you have enough space on the pendrive a bootloader on it and the school comp boots to usb
[08:16] <bhavesh> celthunder: bootloader is some external file outside my ubuntu partition?
[08:16] <rewati> theadmin: thanks a lot u have really saved my life
[08:17] <celthunder> bhavesh: uhm grub then grub setup (<pendrive>,<pendrivepartitionwith/boot>)
[08:17] <celthunder> er
[08:17] <CyborgSmurf> There is an OS which I used back in 1995 which was neither Linux or Win 3.1... I cant remember much about it more than, it had no programwindow like in 3.1 that covered up the wallpaper. Also, you could have your icons everywhere you wanted on the desktop
[08:17] <celthunder> grub then setup <as was before>
[08:17] <celthunder> CyborgSmurf: plan9? a
[08:17] <bhavesh> celthunder: ill try
[08:18] <theadmin> CyborgSmurf: OS/2
[08:18] <theadmin> CyborgSmurf: ?
[08:18] <CyborgSmurf> celthunder: could be, let me check it out
[08:18] <devish> what is the basic difference in functionalities when selecting boot region as MBR or root
[08:18] <celthunder> devish: mbr bootloader loads first then you can chainload to the others
[08:19] <celthunder> as far as i know anyway...probably other uses
[08:19] <devish> for basically dual boot system
[08:20] <bhavesh> lol I still couldn't install Netbeans IDE ...trying from 2 days
[08:20] <celthunder> bhavesh: ? what's the error
[08:20] <CyborgSmurf> theadmin: well I remember you could have like space background, black screen and stars
[08:20] <bhavesh> celthunder: It says Java JDK not found, but I already installed it
[08:20] <celthunder> bhavesh: does it need the non open source jdk? did you check where it's installed to?
[08:21] <devish> celthunder: to my knowledge booting start from mbr itself but we can have dual boot in root "/" also
[08:21] <celthunder> devish: that's what i said? it boots to mbr bootloader and then you chainload the rest if you want
[08:21] <bhavesh> celthunder: I tried both open JDK and non open source JDK.
[08:21] <celthunder> devish: though if your mbr has grub you really don't need to chainload any bootloader but windows if that's your other os
[08:21] <bhavesh> celthunder: its installed here: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java
[08:22] <bhavesh> celthunder: openjdk means open source JDK ofc....
[08:22] <CyborgSmurf> theadmin: is OS/2 running like an exe-file in DOS?
[08:22] <KNUBBIG> Hey, I have installed Ubuntu/Win7 and want to try out Kubuntu. Will it erase my customized GRUB or go well with it?
[08:22] <theadmin> CyborgSmurf: Doubt it
[08:22] <bhavesh> now ill have to install  Netbeans + JDK both comes together
[08:22] <theadmin> KNUBBIG: It does erase
[08:23] <Lasers> bhavesh: "sudo update-alternatives --config java"
[08:23] <celthunder> CyborgSmurf: theadmin in 95? uhm??
[08:23] <KNUBBIG> theadmin: okay, ty, any way to prevent that or do I just have to reconfigure GRUB?
[08:23] <celthunder> KNUBBIG: ?
[08:23] <devish> so I was wondering if I remove widow at some point of time and I am having boot region as mbr then I can easily install it again without disturbing linux
[08:23] <theadmin> KNUBBIG: Back up your grub.cfg and put it back once done installing, really
[08:23] <Lasers> bhavesh: Also, JRE != JDK.  I'm pretty certain of it.
[08:24] <theadmin> celthunder: The last I checked Ubuntu did not let me select where to install grub, and just put it over to MBR
[08:24] <theadmin> KNUBBIG: KDE does not break GNOME
[08:25] <celthunder> KNUBBIG: yeah sure you pick
[08:25] <CyborgSmurf> celthunder: it was probably created earlier, but a friend gave me this, I had a small HDD (37,5Mb) so I could either have windows 3.1 (12Mb) or that one(15Mb)
[08:25] <bhavesh> Lasers: then whats wrong with my Netbeans... it says No compitable JDK detected
[08:25] <KNUBBIG> theadmin: celthunder okay, I'll do that, thanks
[08:25] <Lasers> bhavesh: You might want to check out Netbeans channel if you found no solution here.
[08:25] <celthunder> CyborgSmurf: idk plan9 os2 vax bsd lfs are pretty much your choices
[08:25] <bhavesh> Lasers: does this:        /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java       mean open source JDK?
[08:25] <bhavesh> ofc it does...
[08:25] <devish> bhavesh: is your netbeans latest
[08:25] <bhavesh> devish: yes
[08:25] <bhavesh> 7.0
[08:26] <celthunder> KNUBBIG: theadmin hmm...useless not cool installer then...
[08:26] <celthunder> CyborgSmurf: theres probably others but those are the ones i know of from 95
[08:26] <Lasers> bhavesh: Yes.
[08:26] <CyborgSmurf> celthunder: plan9 sounds familiar I guess
[08:27] <celthunder> CyborgSmurf: made by the same guys that made C
[08:27] <celthunder> :)
[08:27] <devish> bhavesh: there are 2 jdk one is of sun/oracle and other one open don,t know about your case but sun's one works fine with it
[08:27] <petan> someone know how to configure xorg so that I can increase virtual size of desktop
[08:27] <bhavesh> devish: and how am I supposed to get suns SDK from their website?
[08:28] <petan> I couldn't find it on any site
[08:28] <celthunder> petan: ? xrandr
[08:28] <petan> celthunder: I mean if I have some max virtual size and I want to enlarge it
[08:28] <bhavesh> devish: I downloaded jdk-6u26-linux-x64.bin from their website
[08:28] <petan> xrandr tell me that resolution is not supported
[08:28] <celthunder> petan: add it?
[08:29] <bhavesh> devish: and it again gives errors when I try installing it
[08:29] <petan> how
[08:29] <Lasers> bhavesh: It should be in the repo (assuming you have partner enabled).
[08:29] <CyborgSmurf> celthunder: hmmm.... thanks alot anyway (sometimes I get a little nostalgic I guess its because of all NES-games with colours and catchy sounds ;) )
[08:29] <devish> bhavesh: no just go to your s/w manager and search for it ...
[08:29] <celthunder> petan: man xrandr
[08:29] <celthunder> CyborgSmurf: lol i do that too sometimes
[08:29] <petan> I added resolution to conf and it work but virtual size do not
[08:29] <bhavesh> Lasers: I did enable it
[08:29] <bhavesh> devish: ok
[08:29] <devish> bhavesh: install only from your repo/s/w manager
[08:29] <petan> I can't turn on second lcd
[08:29] <celthunder> petan: what graphics card
[08:29] <petan> radeon hd uh... I will take a look but it should support it
[08:30] <celthunder> petan: check catalyst?
[08:30] <devish> bhavesh: but first uninstall open jdk
[08:30] <petan> I don't know where is this resolution is ok just virtual size not
[08:30] <devish> otherwise there will be too much confusdion to handle
[08:30] <petan> which mean I can't use more than 1 lcd
[08:30] <bhavesh> devish: ok, I found one on s/w manager its name is sun-java6-source (JDK)
[08:31] <bhavesh> devish: oh I found the correct one
[08:31] <ColKurtz> hey guys
[08:31] <theadmin> ColKurtz: Hello.
[08:31] <ColKurtz> quick question - i'm installing ubuntu via wubi on an EEE PC
[08:32] <ColKurtz> already did the install from widnows
[08:32] <devish> bhavesh: check out its descripton to know what it offer because i m not sure her but remember to uninstall openjdk first
[08:32] <ColKurtz> now it's booted into ubuntu to complete the install
[08:32] <ColKurtz> it already found my WiFi network
[08:32] <bhavesh> devish: im uninstalling :(
[08:32] <ColKurtz> and it has the introduction slideshow thing going
[08:32] <bhavesh> devish: I meant :)
[08:32] <ColKurtz> but it's just been sitting with the "busy" cursor for a while now
[08:32] <petan> HD 4550
[08:32] <ColKurtz> is it just gonna take a little while to finish up?
[08:32] <devish> bhavesh: happy programming
[08:33] <bhavesh> devish: rt :D
[08:33] <bhavesh> ty**
[08:33] <petan> in catalyst I do not see it it show only one lcd
[08:33] <petan> but in resolution I see two panels I think this is xorg conf where is problem
[08:34] <CyborgSmurf> celthunder: btw I guess one of the best screensavers are "johnny cast away" ;)
[08:34] <KNUBBIG> :D
[08:36] <kiwilady1> hey sorry about the long wait
[08:37] <kiwilady1> im now on the system running ubuntu
[08:38] <Night> What's up with ''sha1sum mismatch! Rename /home/admin/.cache/winetricks/vcrun2008/vcredist_x86.exe and try again.'' ??
[08:38] <blueonyx> hi, is there an easy way to mount a .tar.bz2 archive?
[08:39] <Night> Oh please.
[08:40] <madsailor> blueonyx, ubuntu comes with archive mounter
[08:41] <Night> Hey anyone knows how to deal with ''sha1sum mismatch! Rename /home/admin/.cache/winetricks/vcrun2008/vcredist_x86.exe and try again.''??
[08:41] <theadmin> Night: Delete that file and try again.
[08:41] <madsailor> blueonyx, you can right click on your archive and select open with archive mounter
[08:41] <Night> And how to delete it? o.o
[08:41] <blueonyx> madsailor: on the console pls, i'm on ubuntu server
[08:41] <Night> Soz, I'm totally a newbie. =/
[08:42] <Night> I don't know where to find the file. O.o
[08:42] <iceroot> Night: rm /home/admin/.cache/winetricks/vcrun2008/vcredist_x86.exe
[08:43] <iceroot> Night: /home/admin/.cache/winetricks/vcrun2008/vcredist_x86.exe  is the path
[08:43] <madsailor> blueonyx, sry.  I use mc in the console.  it interfaces with archives, so I don't know the cli commands
[08:43] <iceroot> Night: just open a terminal and type     rm /home/admin/.cache/winetricks/vcrun2008/vcredist_x86.exe
[08:43] <Night> Oh. but I can't find 'vcredist_x86.exe.' there
[08:43] <Night> Okay, thanks
[08:43] <dexter> how tu using firesheep on blackbuntu
[08:44] <Night> I typed that in, but nothing comes out, should I type it again?
[08:44] <gulzar> I installed XFCE and removed Unity+Gnome...... while installing it dropped to screensaver which was REMOVED so I was only left with BLACK screen.... I waited for 1 hr then restarted ..... XFCE was installed but the tittle bar is not visible and most dangerous my Internet connection is not working (my modem is not detected) . Any solution?
[08:45] <iceroot> Night: everything fine when nothing comes out
[08:45] <Night> Oh. =P
[08:46] <iceroot> Night: rm is a command to delete and when everything is fine rm is deleting the file without any error-message
[08:46] <iceroot> Night: if you retype the command, you should get /home/admin/.cache/winetricks/vcrun2008/vcredist_x86.exe not found
[08:46] <iceroot> Night: because the file was deleted before
[08:46] <Night> Maybe I should try, lol.
[08:47] <Night> So does it mean I can install it all over again now?
[08:47] <iceroot> Night: correct
[08:47] <Night> Wine's sure a pain in the ass. -_-
[08:47] <Night> Kay, thanks ^^
[08:47] <iceroot> Night: as it seems the first download was not successfull because the hashsum was incorrect
[08:47] <Night> Ohh.
[08:48] <bhavesh> YAY my netbeans IDE is installing :D
[08:48] <madsailor> blueonyx, I would highly recommend mc.  it's a great file browser for the terminal and lets you browse archives as well
[08:48] <tranducloi> hi all
[08:49] <Night> Congratulations, bhavesh.
[08:49] <gulzar> I installed XFCE and removed Unity+Gnome...... while installing it dropped to screensaver which was REMOVED so I was only left with BLACK screen.... I waited for 1 hr then restarted ..... XFCE was installed but the tittle bar is not visible and most dangerous my Internet connection is not working (my modem is not detected) . Any solution? Help.....
[08:49] <Night> Just a random questions, do I have to type in ''yum install cabextract'', to install winetricks?
[08:50] <iceroot> Night: no
[08:50] <Night> Thanks =D
[08:50] <iceroot> Night: yum is only for opensuse not für ubuntu
[08:50] <Night> Again
[08:50] <Night> Lol
[08:50] <Night> And what's opensuse if I may ask?
[08:50] <iceroot> !info winetricks
[08:50] <iceroot> Night: use this "sudo apt-get install winetricks"
[08:51] <Night> Kay
[08:51] <iceroot> Night: openuse is another linux-distribution like ubuntu, debian, redhat und univention corporate server
[08:51] <Night> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[08:51] <Lasers> Night: What is Ubuntu? It's a distro. OpenSuSe is a different distro.
[08:51] <iceroot> Night: is another process running like software-center?
[08:52] <Night> Umm, the update manager is running.
[08:52] <Night> Thanks Lasers.
[08:52] <curiousx> Night: close "Ubuntu Software Center" and then tray again
[08:52] <blueonyx> madsailor: i dont want to browse archives i want to mount them, so that programs dont need to care whether its an archive or not, there must be something with fuse, but doesnt seem to be so easy, thanks anyhow
[08:53] <iceroot> Night: what you want to run with wine?
[08:54] <Night> A program, it says it couldn't find .DLL something
[08:54] <iceroot> Night: of course a program... :)
[08:54] <Night> I don't have the software center running, should I cancel the update?
[08:54] <oCean> blueonyx: have you installed 'archivemount' ?
[08:54] <iceroot> Night: depending if you need the update-process
[08:55] <Night> Lol, yea it's kind of complicated to explain, so it sounds better with ''a program''.
[08:55] <iceroot> !appdb | Night
[08:55] <blueonyx> oCean: and then?
[08:55] <iceroot> Night: there you can have a look if your program is supported and what steps are to do
[08:55] <blueonyx> oCean: i have no X
[08:56] <Night> Kay, thanks, lol.
[08:56] <oCean> blueonyx: it's not X based. sudo apt-get install achivemount; then archivemount /path/to/blah.tar.gz /home/user/mymountpoint
[08:56] <blueonyx> oCean: kthx
[08:59] <blueonyx> oCean: there is no such package for lucid :(
[08:59] <oCean> !info archivemount lucid
[08:59] <oCean> :(
[09:03] <JohnTeddy> When I switch from USA to China keyboard... the default icon in the pannel for 11.04 doesn't work. If I start 'ibus-daemon', this works in the panel. How can I turn off the panel icon for the default keyboard layout switcher and turn on ibus-daemon by default?
[09:03] <oCean> blueonyx: it might work if you install a libarchive package and download latest archive mount here http://www.cybernoia.de/software/archivemount/
[09:05] <Night> Lol, is it just me or it's all games on that website?
[09:06] <Night> Maybe it's just me. o.o
[09:10] <ehsan> Hello all
[09:10] <ehsan> I have a lucid ubuntu server with kernel 2.6.32-32
[09:11] <ehsan> How I acn downgrade it to 2.6.32-31 ?
[09:12] <ColKurtz> okay back to using the live ubuntu USB to install
[09:12] <theadmin> ehsan: Downgrades aren't supported, however you can just boot the old kernel from GRUB, we don't remove them
[09:12] <ColKurtz> should i manually partition?
[09:12] <ColKurtz> or does it do a good enough job with "erase disk and install ubuntu"
[09:12] <oCean> ehsan: if you update frequently, the 2.6.32-31 image should still be installed?
[09:13] <ehsan> @theadmin: thanks, I'm going to check it :-)
[09:13] <Night> Lol, I clicked the 'erase disk and install unbuntu'' one. @ ColKurtz
[09:13] <HektoR_> hello guys... is there any way to use usb speakers with ubuntu ? ( gembird usb speakrs )
[09:13] <klown> I'm trying to add 1280x1024 to my xorg.conf (which is supported by my video card, and monitor) but after I start X, I get the following error in my /var/log/Xorg.0.log file ..[  5851.280] (WW) NVIDIA(0): No valid modes for "1280x1024"; removing.  Any reason why?
[09:14] <ColKurtz> Night, did it auto create a SWAP partition?
[09:14] <Blou_Aap> alt+space, boom window manager gone :/
[09:14] <ehsan> dpkg --get-selections says
[09:14] <cafenet> how can i enable "Main Menu " item from terminal?
[09:15] <Night> Not that I've known of. @ ColKurtz
[09:15] <ehsan> linux-headers-2.6.32-21                         install linux-headers-2.6.32-21-server                  install linux-headers-2.6.32-32                         install linux-headers-2.6.32-32-server                  install linux-headers-server                            install linux-image-2.6.32-21-server                    install linux-image-2.6.32-32-server                    install linux-image-server                              i
[09:15] <Night> It just uses the entire disk, lol.
[09:15] <ehsan> there's no 2.6.32-31
[09:15] <ehsan> can I install it manually?
[09:16] <theadmin> ehsan: You can, if it is in the repos
[09:17] <whitman> I'm running 11.04 (classic) in virtualbox on a windows host.  A few seconds after logging in the theme resets to a basic gtk style.  I can half fix it with killall -9 gnome-settings-daemon && gnome-settings-daemon but I have to run that every time I login and it doesn't fix everything (the right click menu keeps the basic style).  Is there a better/proper fix for this?
[09:17] <ehsan> would you please let me know how? is it an apt-get or dpkg option?
[09:18] <theadmin> ehsan: Eh... apt-get install linux-image-2.6.32-31-server
[09:18] <ehsan> thanks :-)
[09:20] <ColKurtz> alright, partitioning schemes
[09:20] <ColKurtz> i've got a 160gb HDD in my EEE PC
[09:20] <bullgard4> 'man tasksel': "tasksel is a user interface for installing tasks." Where are these »tasks« defined?
[09:20] <ColKurtz> should i make 1 big partition + a swap partition? would that suffice?
[09:21] <ColKurtz> or should i make 1 system partition, 1 partition for home/user folders, and then a SWAP?
[09:21] <theadmin> ColKurtz: Typically. Many also prefer a separate /home partition
[09:21] <ColKurtz> how many GB for the system partition?
[09:21] <rizzeh> ColKurtz: 20Gb for /, some for swap, the rest /home
[09:21] <oCean> bullgard4: tasksel --list-tasks I think
[09:22] <ColKurtz> make the swap the last partition?
[09:22] <oCean> bullgard4: or --list-task
[09:23] <Night> Do you all have to partition the disk? O.o it didn't even ask me to when I was installing it.
[09:23] <Night> Weirdo..
[09:23] <ColKurtz> well i wanna make sure performance is good :)
[09:23] <ColKurtz> it's a netbook afterall
[09:23] <Night> By ''weirdo'' I was referring to my pc.
[09:24] <theadmin> Night: Eh, it auto-partitions it if you ask it to
[09:24] <ColKurtz> and besides the last time I played around with linux was a loong time ago installing Gentoo
[09:24] <ColKurtz> and getting super crazy about my partioning scheme
[09:24] <ColKurtz> lol
[09:24] <Night> I think you can google see how people do the partition.
[09:24] <theadmin> ColKurtz: lol gentoo
[09:24] <ColKurtz> Ext4 good for my system partition & /home
[09:24] <ColKurtz> ?
[09:24] <theadmin> ColKurtz: Yep
[09:24] <ColKurtz> how about swap? ext2?
[09:25] <rizzeh> swap is swap
[09:25] <bullgard4> oCean: Excellent! --  Thank you very much for your help.
[09:25] <dr_Willis> ext4 is the default these days
[09:25] <theadmin> ColKurtz: wut? Swap has it's own filesystem, linux-swap
[09:25] <Night> Yay, the update FINALLY finished. Be back after restarting my pc, lol.
[09:25] <dr_Willis> swap is swao :)
[09:25] <Night> Good luck folks. =D

[09:38] <oCean> johanhar: just describe your issue/ask your question
[09:38] <dr_Willis> snim then you just need tomake a data disk..
[09:39] <dr_Willis> use winff to convert to xvid or whatever format it can play, nburn to a data disk
[09:39] <snim> cant i have a divx file in my flashdrive ?
[09:39] <dr_Willis> no idea can you? Its your player...
[09:39] <dr_Willis> Put it there and try. :)
[09:40] <snim> divx = avi ?
[09:40] <snim> I dont know much about divx
[09:40] <Iron_Chef> i want to remove libreoffice and put openoffice back on - can this be done easily?
[09:40] <dr_Willis> time to read up on divx.. its just  a  marketing term for the most part. xvid = divx = some mpeg variant i recall
[09:40] <ng_> LulzSec any good?
[09:40] <dr_Willis> with some diferances
[09:40] <Night> Help o.o, 'sha1sum mismatch! Rename /home/admin/.cache/winetricks/vcrun2008/vcredist_x86.exe and try again.'
[09:41] <dr_Willis> if somthing plays divx it should be able to play xvid also.
[09:41] <dr_Willis> night  its a bad download..
[09:42] <maalac> need some help in runnning the citrix files ..to connect to server
[09:42] <maalac> anybody ?
[09:42] <Night> o.o" does it mean I'm gonna remove it again?
[09:42] <Night> O man
[09:43] <dr_Willis> meand the winetricks downloaded that file . and it was currupted
[09:43] <johanhar> I want to grep all files that include a javascript file in folder "templates/". This is my command: grep -R "js/smarty" templates/. Is the "/" char special? It returned a lot more thatn it should
[09:44] <dr_Willis>  / is often special in many cases - it depends on how its being used
[09:44] <Night> But it doesn't help if I just remove it and download it again, does it?
[09:45] <dr_Willis> night it may download properly the next time
[09:45] <albogabar> get list
[09:45] <johanhar> dr_Willis: thanks, I figured it out :)
[09:45] <Night> O well, let's give it a shot anyway.
[09:46] <Sidewinder1> !list > albogabar
[09:46] <robeepal> I have a question, when i open "Additional Drivers" why is it clear ??
[09:46] <Night> Package winetricks is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source  E: Package 'winetricks' has no installation candidate
[09:46] <Night> Any idea?
[09:46] <rahul_> I wanna uninstall Unity and go back to Gnome 3 in Ubuntu 11.04...how to do so?
[09:46] <dr_Willis> i normally just get the latest winetricks script
[09:47] <Sidewinder1> !gnome3 | rahul_
[09:48] <rahul_> unity is slow...and I dont have enough RAM on my PC to run it properly..what should I do?
[09:48] <dr_Willis> try lubuntu perhaps?  or  the ubuntu-classic item in the gdm login
[09:49] <Luksion_Knight> hey quick question, I need to bind some bezel buttons to arrow keys. How would I go about doing this?
[09:49] <dr_Willis> !classic
[09:50] <clownclown> I have a backup of an ntfs partition from two months ago.  Does anyone know what command I can use to make a new backup consisting only of files and folders modified since that date, while preserving the directory structure?
[09:51] <rizzeh> clownclown: man rsync
[09:51] <Sidewinder1> !windows | clownclown
[09:51] <dr_Willis> perhaps fsarchiver
[09:51] <dr_Willis> !info fsarchiver
[09:51] <clownclown> I'm using ubuntu for this ubottu
[09:51] <clownclown> err Sidewinder1
[09:51] <Sidewinder1> OIC
[09:51] <anAngel> Hello, which is the best officially supported container-based virtualization on ubuntu server lts (10.04.2) because KVM is not supported by the machine I am trying to install it on. Thanks
[09:53] <Sidewinder1> clownclown, I use grsync; but i'm not sure it'll work on an NTFS partition.
[09:53] <VICODAN> anangel: virtualization as in remote desktop or vmware?
[09:54] <Luksion_Knight> hey quick question, I need to bind some bezel buttons to arrow keys. How would I go about doing this? I know the button mappings of both but cant find anything in xbindkeys to do this
[09:56] <clownclown> the situation is, a friend's windows installation is corrupt and she wants a backup of everything which has been modified since her last backup 2 months ago before she starts with a new operating system
[09:56] <dr_Willis>  binding a key to select some arbitary controll in a window eh?
[09:57] <anAngel> VICODAN: no as in vps (openvz, vserver, lxc,) something that has low hardware requirements (don't need hardware virtualization extensions)
[09:58] <Luksion_Knight> I have a tablet top hybrid with a four direction nub on the screen bezel so I wanna map that to the arrow keys so I can scroll and game more easily. Right now theyre bound to numbers1234
[09:59] <e-DIO-t> http://paste.ubuntu.com/626430/ << any idea about this?
[10:02] <Sidewinder1> clownclown, Why not just get an external 1TB usb drive (about$100) hook it up to her system; boot ubuntu liveCD and copy her pics, videos, music, docs, etc. to the external?
[10:02] <dr_Willis> i found a 2tb on sale for $75 this weekend
[10:02] <Sidewinder1> :-)
[10:02] <clownclown> because I'm poor
[10:02] <Sidewinder1> Been a while since I bought one.
[10:03] <Luksion_Knight> anyone answer my question? my wifi has been a bit buggy
[10:03] <Sidewinder1> Well then, I guess you should suggest to her to back up more often. :-)
[10:03] <johanhar> Hi. When doing grep, I want to avoid results within .svn folders, how can I do this? :) Thanks.
[10:03] <dr_Willis> fsarchiver and rsync can probverly do things based on file date.
[10:04] <anAngel> Anyone know which is the best officially supported container-based virtualization on ubuntu server lts (10.04.2) because KVM is not supported by the machine I am trying to install it on? Thanks

[10:08] <gartral> hello all, anyone here with a cr-48 running 11.04? I'm having trouble with gobi_loader and need advice
[10:10] <Luksion_Knight> I need to bind some bezel buttons to arrow keys. How would I go about doing this? I know the button mappings of both but cant find anything in xbindkeys to do this
[10:11] <Joseph__> test
[10:11] <dr_Willis> text passed..
[10:11] <Sidewinder1> Joseph__, It works. :-)
[10:11] <Joseph__> thanks
[10:12] <Sidewinder1> welks
[10:12] <Joseph__> are you all ready to help me fix my install?
[10:12] <Sidewinder1> !ask
[10:12] <dr_Willis> ask the question and see
[10:13] <psypher246> hi all, could someone please explain the difference between askubuntu and the ubuntu forums, i don't quite get the point of having 2 different places to ask for assistance?
[10:13] <Sidewinder1> Joseph__, Sa long as it's not wubi. :-)
[10:13] <Luksion_Knight> !ask I need to bind some bezel buttons to arrow keys. How would I go about doing this? I know the button mappings of both but cant find anything in xbindkeys to do this
[10:13] <Sidewinder1> As, even.
[10:13] <dr_Willis> askubuntu.com is very new. and uses the stackexchange  'system' which is easier to use then the forms in a lot oc ways
[10:14] <psypher246> dr_Willis: but no-one seems to respond on askubuntu?
[10:14] <dr_Willis> stackexchane alsohas a chat feature built in
[10:14] <dr_Willis> i respond on askubuntu all the time
[10:14] <dr_Willis> its only about 2 mo ond.
[10:14] <dr_Willis> old.
[10:14] <OerHeks> psypher246, lot of responces on askubuntu, not as fast as on IRC
[10:14] <psypher246> dr_Willis: have you had the follwoing issue, having to restart unity after every boot?
[10:15] <psypher246> with untiy --replace
[10:15] <dr_Willis> I dojnt use unity much. I am using Lubuntu these days
[10:15] <psypher246> sometimes several times
[10:15] <psypher246> anyoone else?\
[10:15] <Sidewinder1> psypher246, The forums are, IMHO, more comprehensive due to the HUGE member base.
[10:15] <psypher246> Sidewinder1: thatt what i think too
[10:16] <Joseph__> Ubuntu 11.04 64-Bit. My desktop loads, and then a windows pops up instantly with the text " "Indicator Applet Complete" has quit unexpectedly ". The mouse flashes from busy to normal, and attempting to save a screenshot invokes a permission denied error (clicking still works, as do keystrokes). Any help?
[10:16] <psypher246> so I am confused, do i log a bug, do i askubuntu or do i post on forum
[10:16] <dr_Willis> I have a stack-exchange app on my android phone . :)
[10:16] <dr_Willis> search the forums and askubynty and the bug report listings first
[10:16] <Sidewinder1> Joseph__, wubi?
[10:16] <Lasers> I have a basic phone. ^_^
[10:16] <dr_Willis> as a primary test. make a new user see if it affcts them also
[10:17] <Joseph__> no, a proper Dual-Boot
[10:17] <abc0xkev> hi
[10:17] <Sidewinder1> Thank god..
[10:17] <abc0xkev> hello
[10:18] <Sidewinder1> Joseph__, Did you md5sum the ISO prior to burning and installing?
[10:18] <Lasers> abc0xkev: You're on Backtrack? ;O
[10:18] <abc0xkev> yes
[10:18] <abc0xkev> how do you know?
[10:19] <Lasers> !root | abc0xkev
[10:19] <Joseph__> i am afraid not
[10:19] <psypher246> has anyone had the problem with unity where app indicators just stop responding?
[10:19] <Lasers> Ah. Not the factoid I'm looking for. :(
[10:19] <OerHeks> !anyone
[10:20] <Night> I re-install winetricks again, still it says ''sha1sum mismatch!  Rename /home/admin/.cache/winetricks/vcrun2008/vcredist_x86.exe and try again.''
[10:20] <psypher246> unity app indicators stop working 10 times a day, espcially after boot, have to run unity --reaplce every day
[10:20] <anAngel> Anyone know which is the best officially supported container-based virtualization on ubuntu server lts (10.04.2) because KVM is not supported by the machine I am trying to install it on? Thanks
[10:20] <abc0xkev> help
[10:21] <abc0xkev> ./help
[10:21] <abc0xkev> .help
[10:21] <Sidewinder1> Joseph__, Might be a corrupt iso; md5 it and compare hash...At least if it's OK, you can eliminate that issue. It's a good starting place with bad installs.
[10:21] <ikonia> abc0xkev: you may want to keep in mind that backtrack support is in #backtrack-linux channel
[10:21] <elfranne> anyone got some experience with WMI calls ?
[10:21] <ikonia> elfranne: as in the windows api ?
[10:21] <dr_Willis> night - reinstallinhg winetricks.. reinstqlls the winetricks script.. which then downloads that vcrun* thing.  its that .exe that sems to be having the issue . not the script. You tried the winetricks script from its homepege so you have the latest version?
[10:21] <abc0xkev> thanks ikonia
[10:22] <elfranne> yes, making WMI calls from a linux box
[10:22] <ikonia> elfranne: I've done it with cacti/nagios
[10:22] <Night> Yea, I think it's the laest version.
[10:22] <Joseph__> Actually, it was not my disk, a friend gave it. Anyway, I messed around with it. It didn't happen on the first boot.
[10:22] <dr_Willis> go to the winetricks homepage and double check
[10:23] <stimpie> how do I limit the amount of memory a process can use? (I have a mem leaked process which crashes my system by using too much swap)
[10:23] <abc0xkev> is there anybody know how to join the backtrack channel?
[10:23] <Night> Okay. @ dr_Willis
[10:23] <ikonia> abc0xkev: /join #backtrack-linux
[10:23] <Joseph__> well, abc, how did you join this channel?
[10:23] <abc0xkev> ok
[10:23] <elfranne> ikonia, i am using the wmi client provided from zenoss but is get some errors ... i ll pastebin that ... 1min
[10:23] <dr_Willis> Why are you even using backtrack. :)
[10:23] <ikonia> elfranne: how is this an ubuntu topic ?
[10:24] <abc0xkev> just installation Xchat, and connect this channel
[10:24] <Night> I'm pretty sure I was installing the lastest version. @ dr_Willis
[10:24] <Sidewinder1> Joseph__, I don't have much time; gotta' go to work. :-( You might try to install again with an ISO that's md5sumed; burn at the slowest speed and go from there.
[10:24] <Lasers> abc0xkev: Try clicking --> #backtrack-linux
[10:24] <Lasers> abc0xkev: Or type --> /j #backtrack-linux
[10:24] <Joseph__> alright. I shall search the web more vigorously
[10:24] <dr_Willis> night could be that .exe has some issue at  server its comming from. or it may be the script has the wrong checksum
[10:25] <Sidewinder1> Joseph__, Good luck!
[10:25] <Joseph__> thanks
[10:25] <abc0xkev> cannot join backtrack-linux channel!
[10:26] <abc0xkev> #backtrack-linux
[10:26] <dr_Willis> abc0xkev:  you could chck thebacktrack homepage and see what irc server they use.
[10:26] <ikonia> abc0xkev: you need to register your nickname, the people in #freenode can help you with that
[10:26] <dr_Willis> I think its some other server then this one
[10:26] <abc0xkev> thanks all
[10:26] <dr_Willis> !backtrack > abc0xkev
[10:26]  * stephanboy2030 is away: Sono occupato
[10:27] <abc0xkev> I use Xchat first time

[10:27] <Judge> Hi there. I'm having heavy problems with ACLs in Linux. Might someone please help me with this? We are running a development-server which serves Websites with apache and makes these files accessible via Samba.
[10:28] <Lasers> abc0xkev: Important: root ( *root*@* ) is banned by default on this channel, so please ensure you configure your irc client appropriately. :)
[10:28] <ikonia> !away > stephanboy2030
[10:28]  * Night kicks winetricks, pffft
[10:28] <Judge> We are using ACLs to ensure, that everyone can access those files per samba and the webserver can, too
[10:28] <abc0xkev> ok
[10:28] <Judge> We set such a matrix:
[10:28] <dr_Willis> night you could just find and download that vbrunXXX.exe and  use wine to run/install it.. not using winetricks
[10:29] <Judge> http://pastebin.com/cQnpr3VW
[10:29] <Judge> Every developer who uses Samba is in the group "samba_domain_users"
[10:29] <Night> So I need to type in ''sude apt-get install vbrunXXX.exe'' aye??
[10:29] <Lasers> Night: Nay.
[10:29] <Judge> The webserver runs at www-data:www-data
[10:30] <dr_Willis> night - totally wrong
[10:30] <dr_Willis> you go find/dwnload the exe and run it..
[10:30] <dr_Willis> via wine
[10:30] <dr_Willis> thats all winetricks is doing. just automating it
[10:30] <Judge> Everytime, we create a file with one webserver's PHP Script, noone might access it anymore.
[10:30] <elfranne> ikonia, yes i know it is a bit offtopic but no one seems to know anything about it : http://pastebin.com/1xMr19Ms
[10:30] <Judge> It looks like this for example:
[10:31] <Judge> http://pastebin.com/PcWddDqW
[10:31] <Judge> Sorry: Noone can access it with WRITES anymore.
[10:31] <FireStorms> you know when you type "sudo su" and it asks for a password afterwards, well within a bash script can I hardcode the password so I don't have to feed it a password every time
[10:31] <dr_Willis> passwords in scripts are a bad idea.
[10:31] <Judge> How comes these Files are created / changed to a mask, not allowing writes, even if there's a default mask rwx is set?
[10:31] <FireStorms> i know
[10:32] <FireStorms> is there a command, though?
[10:32] <ikonia> elfranne: sorry, it's not an ubuntu issue, we don't really deal with it here
[10:32] <ikonia> elfranne: try ##linux
[10:32] <dr_Willis> and using sudo su is not a good idea either    use sudo -s, and set up the sudoers file where you dont need sudo password to run that script if thats our end goal
[10:32] <Lasers> FireStorms: I read about it in one of the blogs. Trying to find it.
[10:32] <Lasers> FireStorms: Basically, you pass off the hash (instead of the password). :)
[10:33] <abc0xkev> I have went into the backtrack channel
[10:33] <_Samuel> If one has a Dual Boot, and wants to reinstall the Ubuntu 11.04 install, is that possible without modifying the other OS?
[10:34] <dr_Willis> _Samuel:  yes. shold be same as if installing it...
[10:34] <abc0xkev> how to register my nickname?
[10:34] <_Samuel> dr_Willis, what do you mean?
[10:35] <Lasers> !register | abc0xkev
[10:35] <dr_Willis> !register | abc0xkev
[10:35] <dr_Willis> _samuel you are reinstalling over the existing install.. its not touching the  second os.
[10:35] <dr_Willis> provided you are carefull :)
[10:35] <_Samuel> hehe
[10:37] <Lasers> FireStorms: I can't find it -- but I read about it -- Generate a hash for the password.  Use the hash instead. More safe. :)
[10:37] <abc0xkev> thanks
[10:37] <Night> Nah, I can't find any vbrunxxx.exe files. o.o
[10:37] <dr_Willis> night your error messge4 gave the exact name of the .exe  it was not vbrnXXX.exe
[10:37] <abc0xkev> !register
[10:38] <abc0xkev> !register | abc0xkev
[10:39] <FireStorms> Lasers thanks. but what's the actual command? is it sudo su password
[10:40] <Lasers> FireStorms: I don't know for the command.
[10:40] <FireStorms> why is man sudo 524 lines long, I just need 1 command *sigh*
[10:43] <AnAnt> Hello, is there a utility (like PCITree for windows www.pcitree.de), that would allow me to set configuration registers of a PCI interface ?
[10:43] <AnAnt> PCI device rather ?
[10:43] <fn00dle> Hello. I'm having a problem with my touchpad. I have a Medion Akoya E5217 which uses a Synaptics touchpad with hardware support for Multi-Touch. Though on my fresh Ubuntu 11.04 installation the touchpad doesn't work (nothing of it). Some relevant information: http://pastebin.com/zRJYpTRc. The connected mouse is my external USB mouse which does work fine. It looks like my touchpad is not at all detected... Anyone who can help me?
[10:43] <dr_Willis> sudo su password is not to be in a script.. that would set a root user password.. not what you want
[10:45] <AnAnt> pciutils !
[10:46] <snim> is .divx extension same as .avi ?
[10:46] <snim> or does divx files has extension .avi ?
[10:46] <dr_Willis> divx is a specia;l ,marketing term
[10:46] <snim> my dvd player supports divx, so will it play files with .avi extension
[10:46] <dr_Willis> avi is a contatiner.. you can have a .avi that is encoded using divx
[10:46] <snim> im confused with the avi and divx
[10:46] <dr_Willis> avi is JUST a container...
[10:46] <FireStorms> Why does everyone keep telling me, I know its bad practice "I accept these terms and conditions" but, what the command to login as root within a script without a keyboard prompt?
[10:46] <dr_Willis> snim	 the wikipedia entry on divx has some good info\
[10:47] <dr_Willis> You can have avi that are 'divx' or 'xvid' or radically other codecs
[10:47] <snim> Great, got it, so .avi can be a divx
[10:47] <snim> Lemme try to play a divx avi tonight
[10:47] <dr_Willis> divx is just a marketing term for a enhanced  mpeg codec.
[10:47] <dr_Willis> or somthing like that.. (going from memory)
[10:48] <snim> okey
[10:48] <dr_Willis> if the player can play divx (from a sticker on it) it should be able to play xvid codec encoded files, and  some of the mpeg encoded files
[10:48] <cafenet> wat is the channel for linux mint?
[10:49] <dr_Willis> !mint
[10:49] <snim> i tried to play .mpg file that i converted with ffmpeg, but it din't play it
[10:49] <Night> I meant I don't know where to download vbrunxxx.exe
[10:49] <anAngel> Anyone know which is the best officially supported container-based virtualization on ubuntu server lts (10.04.2) because KVM is not supported by the machine I am trying to install it on? Thanks
[10:49] <snim> now i will try to play an avi file that is divx
[10:49] <snim> don;t know if my player will recognize a divx inside an avi
[10:49] <dr_Willis> night	 use google to serach for the exact filename, or ask in #windows perhaps
[10:49] <snim> or it must have a divx extension
[10:49] <Night> Kay
[10:49] <dr_Willis> snim	  you are still getting confused.. the .divx extension means nothing really..
[10:50] <dr_Willis>  foo.avi = foo.divx IF the players can play the codec. and is smart enought to  ignore the extension
[10:50] <novitololo> hi, I've just bought a laptop which has a 64bit-cpu.  Why in the Ubuntu download page it says (32-bit recommended) ? Isn't 64 bit recommended for 64 bit -CPU ?
[10:50] <dr_Willis> whne ver i download  whatever.divx i rename it to be .avi
[10:50] <snim> I know it now, but i don't know if my player knows it :) I mean, i expect it to recognize an divx file with .avi extension
[10:50] <sipior> novitololo: yes, the page is in error.
[10:51] <novitololo> sipior: ok, thanks.  So 64bit ubuntu should work smoothly in my 64bit cpu
[10:52] <snim> dr_Willis: okey
[10:52] <sipior> novitololo: should do, yep.
[10:52] <novitololo> thanks :)
[10:52] <dr_Willis> snim the mpeg and dvix and xvid wiki pages  give a lot of good background information
[10:54] <snim> yes, reading them,
[10:54] <snim> Reading divx on wiki
[10:56] <dr_Willis> good man :)
[10:57] <berkes> I am experiencing a weird display bug recently. Started happening in 10.09 and is back in 11.04: during certain times my mouseclicks simply don't click anything in parts of the screen. As if there is some invisible window lying over my others
[10:57] <davidnelson> Hi, I have 11.04 but I have reverted to the "Classic" interface and gone back to classic Gnome. But I like Banshee and want to keep that as my anchor media player. I wanted to remove the "Movie Player" distributed with previous versions of Ubuntu. But if I try to de-install it via the Software Center, I get a warning that "gnome-core" ("The gnome desktop environment - essential components") will be removed as well.... That sounds dangerous...  Does anyone have any advice please?
[10:57] <dr_Willis> how video encoding and naming works.. canbe a little confuseing
[10:57] <berkes> Any idea what to start searching for in hte issue-queues?
[10:58] <dr_Willis> why remove  movie plaer? just set banshee to be the default player
[10:59] <berkes> also, all shortcuts remain working. And I can tab trough active windows just fine. Just that mouseclicks don't work.
[10:59] <davidnelson> @dr_willis: I wanted to remove Movie Player so that I don't have it offered as a possible player in context-sensitive menus.... is Movie Player an essential component to keep installed?
[11:00] <dr_Willis> you cna set it where it dosent show in those menus.
[11:00] <dr_Willis> I dont worry about it much. I just use vlc mainy
[11:01] <abc0xkev> hi
[11:01] <davidnelson> @berkes: roll up the window and then unroll it again.... your mouse clicks will work and you'll be able to enter text in text boxes again
[11:02] <berkes> davidnelson, Thanks! Do you happen to know shortcut for rolling up and unrolling?
[11:02] <davidnelson> @dr_willis: thx for the advice... anyone else know if removing Movie Player is a no-no?
[11:04] <davidnelson> @berkes: the way i have my system configured, you just double-click on the menu bar, but if not then go into the "system menu" in the top left corner of the window.... Also, rolling up may not be the only action that will "unfreeze" the window... try maximizing it and unmaximizing it too
[11:05] <fn00dle> Hello. I'm having a problem with my touchpad. I have a Medion Akoya E5217 which uses a Synaptics touchpad with hardware support for Multi-Touch. Though on my fresh Ubuntu 11.04 installation the touchpad doesn't work (nothing of it). Some relevant information: http://pastebin.com/pT0a28Z9. The connected mouse is my external USB mouse which does work fine. It looks like my touchpad is not at all detected... Anyone who can help me?
[11:05] <Ububegin> which is the best ubuntu software to backup the whole system (or clone it)..so it hard disk crashes, i cud just get the backup from the external hardisk and restore the whole system including data as well as all application/sw installed.
[11:06] <Anonimus> òóò åñòü êòî?
[11:06] <OerHeks> !backup
[11:06] <Ububegin> !sbackup
[11:07] <Ububegin> !cloning
[11:07] <dr_Willis> Ububegin:  proper use of dd. can do a image clone, or fsarchiver.
[11:07] <dr_Willis> !backup
[11:07] <szal> Anonimus: fix your character encoding please, so we can at least identify what language you're typing there
[11:08] <Ububegin> !dd
[11:08] <Ububegin> dr_Willis: what is a dd ?
[11:08] <dr_Willis> dd is the kind of comman dyou definalty need to read up and learn about
[11:08] <dr_Willis> dd - data dump - about as lowlevel a copy as you can get
[11:08] <berkes> davidnelson, thanks. But I think we are talking about a different issue. My windows are not frozen: I can tab into them, and type (like this text) I can just not use the mouse on them.
[11:09] <szal> dr_Willis: dd_rescue? ;)
[11:09] <dr_Willis> dd_rescue is special :)
[11:09] <dasy2k1> berkes:  is your mounce pointer moving?
[11:09] <dr_Willis> and definatly WORTH learning about
[11:09] <dasy2k1> man dd is quite a good man page too
[11:10] <dr_Willis> dont forget the bs=XXXXX option when using dd also
[11:10] <berkes> dasy2k1, yes. And the hardware works too. When I plug in an external mouse it behaves the exact same as my trackpad /and/ my button-thingy
[11:10] <Ububegin> Seems like information overload here, will sbackup do all the above or do I have read up all the commands to get a good idea..
[11:10] <abc0xkev> clear
[11:11] <dr_Willis> it all depends on how you want to make and restore your backuo Ububegin
[11:11] <ikonia> Anonimus: are you trying to exit the channel ?
[11:11] <Anonimus> WTF??????????
[11:12] <ikonia> Anonimus: control the language
[11:12] <ikonia> Anonimus: if you have a problem, just state the question rather than outbursts
[11:12] <ikonia> Anonimus: ahhh, my comment was meant for abc0xkev sorry
[11:12] <ikonia> Anonimus: I was asking if abc0xkev was trying to leave the channel
[11:12] <ikonia> Anonimus: totally my mistake, sorry.
[11:14] <runner> hello, how can i add keyboard layout in xfce 4.8 panel (xubuntu 11.04) ? I want to write in another language but i have not found the method. I 've added the new layout keyboard in keyboard settings.
[11:15] <hanna> hi
[11:15] <hanna> what the hell is this
[11:15] <dasy2k1> hi hanna
[11:16] <dasy2k1> hanna:  the #ubuntu irc channel
[11:16] <ikonia> hanna: you're in an IRC channel for ubuntu support, it's like "chat"
[11:16] <ikonia> !guidelines | hanna
[11:16] <dr_Willis> !irc
[11:16] <ikonia> hanna: if you read the link ubottu has given you it will explain how to use it
[11:16] <Udonnome> guy,what is the official back track channel?
[11:17] <ikonia> Udonnome: #backtrack-linux
[11:17] <Udonnome> thank you
[11:17] <dr_Willis> I think the backtrack disrto web site needs taht in big big fonts on their homepage :)
[11:19] <anAngel> Anyone know which is the best officially supported container-based virtualization on ubuntu server lts (10.04.2) because KVM is not supported by the machine I am trying to install it on? Thanks
[11:20] <rahul_> after enabling Desktop cube from Compiz I dont know how but "close, minimize and close" buttons just vanished....anybody know how to fix it?
[11:20] <pato> ubottu: could you pls tell me how to install multimedia codecs in fedora?
[11:21] <dr_Willis> rahul_:  titel bar is gone also? compiz just crashed..  the cube and unity sort of fight with each other.
[11:21] <llutz_> pato: you'd ask that in #fedora
[11:21] <pato> llutz_: no activity there
[11:21] <dr_Willis> pato and i bet theres a fedora faq that tells you :)
[11:22] <llutz_> pato: offtopic here
[11:22] <jpds> anAngel: Get a better machine.
[11:22] <livingdaylight> guys, I have issues with skype. Must I switch away from Pulseaudio and if so how/where?
[11:22] <pato> dr_Willis can I install restricted extras in fedora?
[11:23] <dr_Willis> pat	o  i imagien they have heir own way to do it....
[11:23] <clepto> ok need help with a somewhat interesting problem setting up a web server but i cant access the site internally with the external domain name it returns that the link is broken or it takes to long to respond but when i access it from another network it comes up just fine
[11:23] <clepto> i can access it by doing the internal 192 address but setting up wordpress this breaks it
[11:23] <dr_Willis> rahul_:  if compiz crashed do alt-f2  'compiz --replace'
[11:24] <pato> dr_Willis: I just moved to fedora because of gnome 3
[11:24] <llutz_> clepto: you need your router having nat-loopback enabled to access your machine with external IP
[11:24] <dr_Willis> time to read up on the fedora docs I guess pato.
[11:24] <rahul_> dr_Willis : alt+f2 not working :(
[11:24] <dr_Willis> I tested fedora live cd to see gnome 3 and decided ill stick to Lubuntu
[11:24] <pato> dr_Willis: how can I install gnome 3 on ubuntu
[11:24] <clepto> llutz: im not sure if it has that option ill take a look
[11:24] <dr_Willis> !gnome3
[11:25] <llutz_> clepto: if it hasn't, you can't access your site that way
[11:25] <FireStorms> If I add my user to the admin group, could this cause any security concerns.... I'm quite new to this
[11:26] <clepto> llutz_: i didnt have this problem till i updated to 11.04
[11:26] <llutz_> clepto: hmm, thats odd.
[11:26] <rahul_> pato : logout and before logging it choose Ubuntu Classic in the bar which is placed at the bottom of your screen
[11:27] <rahul_> pato : you will get into Ubuntu 11.04 with Gnome 3
[11:27] <mads-> I have a dvd with a sector error so it's acting up? Can anyone help me save the data on it?
[11:27] <dr_Willis> classic is nit gnome 3
[11:27] <dr_Willis> classic is just a gnome2 lookalikesort of thing. :)
[11:27] <clepto> llutz_: i am using a FR-300RTR router i am looking for a nat-loopback option but im not finding it
[11:27] <dr_Willis> mads- check out ddrescue and dd_rescue
[11:27] <livingdaylight> guys, I have issues with skype. Must I switch away from Pulseaudio and if so how/where?
[11:28] <pato> Do you guys like unity?
[11:28] <clepto> i hate it
[11:29] <llutz_> clepto: it might have other names, dd-wrt call that option "filter wan nat"
[11:29] <mads-> dr_Willis: thanks!
[11:29] <dr_Willis> unity is a work in progress.. it works ok.. it will get better.
[11:29] <FireStorms> no it sucks. Will addming my user to admin group have any major security concerns?
[11:29] <rahul_> after enabling Desktop cube from Compiz I dont know how but "close, minimize and close" buttons just vanished....anybody know how to fix it?
[11:29] <clepto> llutz_: NAT ENDPOINT FILTERING
[11:29] <dr_Willis> firestorms no more then anyother enhanced rihts for other users. :) depends on yoru whole setup
[11:30] <clepto> llutz_ that it?
[11:30] <dr_Willis> !sudo
[11:30] <llutz_> clepto: maybe, no explanation what that option does?
[11:30] <pato> dr_Willis: something I miss is the brightness applet
[11:30] <llutz_> !pm | clepto
[11:31] <FireStorms> So an admin can delete critical system files, right??
[11:31] <th^^> right
[11:31] <dr_Willis> pato theres proberly some initcatot-r-applets that do the same thing
[11:31] <clepto> ok well i was trying to post multiple lines
[11:31] <dnivra> !pastebin | clepto: maybe this?
[11:31] <llutz_> gtg
[11:32] <Brianetta> Hi folks.  Can anybody tell me if it's possible to remove a package from the database without deleting the package's files from disk?
[11:32] <clepto> llutz_: is the options it gives me
[11:32] <clepto> llutz_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/626475/
[11:33] <dnivra> Brianetta, what do you mean by delete from the database?
[11:33] <FireStorms> So my options are now compromise my whole system by adding my user (that I use 99% of the time) to admin group, or hard code a root password into a bash script... excellent
[11:33] <ubuntu__> jb
[11:33] <Kartagis> hi, I set my date & time to today, current time; but when I come back I find it set to tomorrow, AM when I set to PM
[11:33] <Brianetta> dnivra: I want to remove a package, but only from the package database.  I want to keep all of its files, untracked.
[11:33] <dr_Willis> firestorms i doubt if the admin group is that big a sefdurity risk. and you can set sudoers up with limitations
[11:33] <Kartagis> s/when/although
[11:34] <dnivra> FireStorms, adding your user might be a better choice-it's good to have the root account locked by default.
[11:34] <dr_Willis> thers more to 'sudo' then a command you type to get root access
[11:34] <Brianetta> FireStorms: Your problem sounds interesting.  What was it?
[11:34] <czervika> !r 5
[11:34] <dnivra> Brianetta, i guess you mean that you don't want apt to track whether an application is installed. right?
[11:35] <FireStorms> Brianetta, Its for a server management script that needs root access, although the GUI that uses the script doesn't support callback
[11:35] <dnivra> Brianetta, if so, sorry I don't any idea except maybe uninstall it and then install using the packages(dpkg -i) that *probably* exist in the cache :). that might be what you're looking for.
[11:36] <Brianetta> dnivra: This specific one.  I'll give you the details.  It's Squid; a specially built one has been installed (with make install) all over the installed Ubuntu package.  Yes, that was a mistake, but I wasn't there at the time.  If th epackage is upgraded by apt, it *will* break.  I just want to make it think that squid isn't installed.
[11:36] <tuyetmy> hi
[11:36] <tuyetmy> hmm
[11:36] <tuyetmy> where is the skype icon in ubuntu 11.04 ?
[11:37] <Brianetta> FireStorms: You can't give your script's user very specific passwordless access through sudoers for some reason?
[11:37] <dnivra> Brianetta, you could perhaps do this-just uninstall using Synaptic and run "make install" again(assuming you still have the compilled source of course)
[11:37] <livingdaylight>  guys, I have issues with skype. no mike. Must I switch away from Pulseaudio and if so how/where?
[11:37] <spass> FireStorms: cant you use sudo and allow just this script there ?
[11:37] <tuyetmy> hmm,
[11:37] <tuyetmy> livingdaylight: you have problem with skype too ?
[11:37] <rahul_> after enabling desktop cube the "close, maximize and minimize" button just disappeared...what to do?(I am on Ubuntu 11.04, Ubuntu classic)
[11:37] <tuyetmy> it's not problem with skype, it's problemw ith ubuntu 11.04
[11:37] <Brianetta> dnivra: I could, but it's controlling a live website.  If I can't find a way, then that's the approach I'll have to take, with planned downtime, etc.
[11:38] <tuyetmy> Ii want to say bad words about the latest release
[11:38] <FireStorms> Please wait I will post script
[11:38] <Brianetta> tuyetmy: Yeah, I feel let down too (:
[11:38] <pokoko222> how do i compile in netbeans on ubuntu for windows
[11:38] <pokoko222> i mean how to compile to .exe windows executable not ubuntu executable
[11:39] <anAngel>  jpds: my personal machine is i7-2600k with 8gb and raid5 hdds but I am asking for my old old personal server/router
[11:39] <rahul_> pokoko222 : build the file in netbeans(for java) and then run it on Windows
[11:39] <tuyetmy> who is a motu here ?
[11:39] <pokoko222> rahul_ but it is c++ file
[11:39] <livingdaylight> tuyetmy, no, mike... audio works though... skype points out that i'm using pulseaudio, under options, whether that implies that there lies the issue i'm not clear
[11:39] <jpds> tuyetmy: → #ubuntu-motu.
[11:39] <tuyetmy> I' m very down
[11:40] <rahul_> pokoko222 : no idea about it..sorry
[11:40] <dnivra> pokoko222, ask in #gcc, they should be able to help. you're question is OT here i'd say.
[11:40] <roarke> can someone help me. I have been using gnome and xfce but i recently removed xfce because of the folder not found error due to exo. but now that im only using gnome every time i try to open an executable it says there are no programs to open it.
[11:40] <FireStorms> http://pastebin.com/aZgUcbJ6 on line 30 it checks for root permission, although I'm using the script from a non root account..... what to do
[11:41] <Brianetta> FireStorms: what happens if check_root_privileges fails?
[11:41] <dnivra> hey Brianetta, try this -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=534734.
[11:42] <FireStorms> Brianetta, The GUI will do a pop up message with: "You need root privileges to run this script!"
[11:42] <Brianetta> dnivra: That's a good stop-gap, thanks
[11:42] <livingdaylight> tuyetmy, are you experiencing the same issue? Is there a solution or just to accept that skype is broken in 11.04?
[11:43] <tuyetmy> 11.04 is the worst release I have ever experienced
[11:43] <tuyetmy> Very painful
[11:43] <FireStorms> tuyetmy, I agree
[11:43] <JoeBloggs> tuyetmy, have to agree with you seemed like it was slightly rushed
[11:43] <szal> tuyetmy: then you clearly weren't around for 5.04 yet :P
[11:44] <tuyetmy> szal: used linux since 2000
[11:44] <FireStorms> People anticipate more, they're spoiled
[11:44] <roarke> can someone help me. I have been using gnome and xfce but i recently removed xfce because of the folder not found error due to exo. but now that im only using gnome every time i try to open an executable it says there are no programs to open it.
[11:44] <allwhitelegos> aaaaaahhhhh gnome panel is just launching and crashing over and over. not sure how get it to stop.
[11:45] <livingdaylight> FireStorms, skype used to work in ubuntu releases past. I expect Ubuntu to get better with each release; not retrograde. Otherwise what is the point of new release versions?
[11:46] <rahul_> after enabling desktop cube the "close, maximize and minimize" button just disappeared...what to do?(I am on Ubuntu 11.04, Ubuntu classic)
[11:46] <Brianetta> FireStorms: You could comment out that line, and add something like the following to /etc/sudoers:
[11:46] <Brianetta> user  ALL = NOPASSWD:  /usr/bin/prog_needing_root,/bin/other_prog_needing_root
[11:46] <Brianetta> replace the first word, user, with the name of the user running the script
[11:46] <Brianetta> the last part is a comma separated list of commands that can be run as root using sudo
[11:47] <Brianetta> then you just need to add sudo to those lines in your script
[11:48] <anAngel> Anyone know which is the best officially supported container-based virtualization on ubuntu server lts (10.04.2) because KVM is not supported by the machine I am trying to install it on? Thanks
[11:49] <Brianetta> anAngel: If I couldn't use KVM I'd probably fall back to VirtualBox OSE
[11:50] <andycc> anAngel: I'm not exactly a virtualization expert, but wouldn't Xen be what you're looking for? It doesn't require CPU virtualization support for Linux guests.
[11:50] <FireStorms> Brianetta, Thanks dude, that's brilliant
[11:50] <JoeBloggs> Virtual Box 4
[11:50] <FireStorms> I'm too new to even locate what programs it's using, so I think I'll have to gksudo netbeans
[11:52] <Sub101> quit Leaving
[11:52] <rahul_> my problem solved...good bye everyone
[11:52] <andycc> Sub101: I believe you need to put a '/' before quit.
[11:52]  * Night throws her arms in the air.
[11:52] <Night> I give up
[11:52] <anAngel> thanks for the replies. which of theese would you recommend on an old cel 850mhz machine with 512mb ram for personal server/router?
[11:52] <Sub101> andycc: Thanks my bad
[11:53] <andycc> anAngel: wait, you want to use VMs on a an 850mhz celeron?
[11:54] <Brianetta> anAngel: You're going to need a lot of patience.
[11:54] <anAngel> for isolation and maybe portability  - yes
[11:54] <JoeBloggs> that or too much time on your hands
[11:54] <Brianetta> Frankly, they're all going to perform equally badly.
[11:54] <anAngel> thats why i am asking for a container based solution not a fully virtualized one
[11:54] <andycc> anAngel: if you want to make that machine a server, I recommend you run Debian - or maybe Superb Mini Server, since it's made for older machines.
[11:55] <andycc> anAngel: for isolation, look into chroot jails.
[11:55] <Tyrnis> plop all
[11:56] <anAngel> ok thanks for the replies i will look into them
[11:59] <Lasers> I guess Sub101 literally left right after typing that line. :P
[11:59] <k_89> hi, i want to add a directory to the $PATH var permanently, can't find it in .bashrc, .bash_profile or .profile
[11:59] <k_89> can someone help
[12:00] <jrib> k_89: read ~/.profile more closely.  There's an example there adding ~/bin
[12:00] <k_89> k
[12:00] <andycc> k_89: the command you're looking for should be 'PATH=$PATH:/your/directory'
[12:01] <k_89> andycc, jrib thanx, found it
[12:05] <donttasemebro> Hi everyone, i need help blocking some websites, i already put them in the hosts list but i expect some accidents like use of proxy to avoid such blocks so i would like some hints on how to do it possibly using opendns and a dynamic ip or if noone knows how to do it with opendns (or im just in the wrong channel) any other way that could help me, possibly considering im not that expert in this field, many thanks in advance.
[12:06] <ikonia> donttasemebro: are you using ubuntu ?
[12:06] <donttasemebro> ikonia: yes i am
[12:07] <k_89> andycc, jrib  in .profile, there is a line in an if-block which adds $HOME/bin to path, i added PATH = $PATH:/path/to/dir/ after the if-block, still path hasn't changed
[12:07] <ikonia> donttasemebro: it this machine you want to stop being able to use certain sites ?
[12:07] <donttasemebro> ikonia: no its not, but its right next to me
