[00:00] <jwash> any of you have experience with x11rdp?
[00:00] <westz> jwash: i've never used remote so i cant really help
[00:00] <jwash> hehe, that's all i do
[00:00] <clr> how do I roll back todays updates?
[00:01] <clr> the new intel driver ihas made my system unusable
[00:01] <dov> jwash: as a server or a client?
[00:01] <jwash> x11rdp as a server
[00:02] <dov> jwash: no, sorry.  the only thing i did was x11 over ssh
[00:02] <jwash> specifically i'd like to bind x11vnc to x11rdp rather than xvnc being bound
[00:03] <jwash> I'd be in a world of hurt without ssh though
[00:03] <THIS_IS_INSANE> so It worked. by default, does ubuntu use a generic graphics driver for nvidia onboard cards?
[00:03] <dov> jwash: i think that rdp is implemented as a plugin in vino
[00:03] <jwash> vino, never heard of that, i'll have a look now. thanks for the tip
[00:03] <thirteen> 有说汉语的吗？
[00:03] <dov> jwash: vino is the remote desktop implementation server of ubuntu's vnc
[00:04] <rypervenche> 有
[00:04]  * drahst scratches his eyes
[00:04] <thirteen> 感动啊
[00:04] <thirteen> 终于看见汉字了
[00:04] <FloodBot1> thirteen: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:04] <bazhang> !cn | thirteen
[00:04] <dov> jwash: but the only support that i found in it for rdp is for connecting as a client to an rdp host
[00:04] <bazhang> thirteen, /join #ubuntu-cn
[00:06] <dov> jwash: a quick google search found me xrdp.  i have never seen it before, though, so i have no idea if it's any good or even still being actively developed
[00:06] <THIS_IS_INSANE> westz: it worked. does ubuntu use generic graphics by default?
[00:06] <jwash> dov: that's what i've been using
[00:07] <jwash> but it uses xvnc rather than x11vnc
[00:07] <coz_> dov,  last update for that was  2010-11-24
[00:07] <jwash> anyway, i broke it somehow
[00:07] <thirteen> thanks
[00:07] <jwash> 在这个房间里没有中国来说
[00:07] <thirteen> 有
[00:07] <bazhang> jwash, #ubuntu-cn
[00:08] <jwash> hehe, i just let him know
[00:08] <westz> THIS_IS_INSANE: no idea, i just know that when you first install ubuntu, there are four entries in grub (excluding windfows)
[00:08] <THIS_IS_INSANE> okay, thanks
[00:08] <dov> no one here uses evolution?
[00:09] <Marqeaux> Yes, me...
[00:09] <bazhang> dov, whats the real question
[00:09] <dov> how to create a calendar event from a task
[00:11] <Marqeaux> No idea Dov, but I'm trying it now. Just a sec...
[00:12] <dov> Marqeaux: ok, thanks
[00:12] <PythonSnake> HI
[00:12] <bazhang> PythonSnake, hi
[00:13] <Hamburger> what would happen if i installed a package with apt-get for an older release of ubuntu than what i have? https://launchpad.net/~slicer/+archive/ppa only has packages up to maverick and i'm running natty
[00:13] <PythonSnake> I can't get on unity only terminal alt+ctrl+f1 f2 ... I have this error for f7 EE FBDEv 0 fbioputcmap invalid argument
[00:13] <PythonSnake> somebody help me please..
[00:13] <PythonSnake> this hapened after updaute
[00:13] <bazhang> Hamburger, might work. have had done so in the past. PPA are completely unsupported in any event you realize
[00:13] <PythonSnake> update*
[00:14] <THIS_IS_INSANE> how do I edit the GRUB boot list?
[00:14] <bazhang> PythonSnake, please dont hit enter two words, coupled with help me
[00:14] <Marqeaux> Dov, I tried to export the task as a iCalendar-file, and imported it back into the calender. I didn't work (unfortunately)....
[00:14] <bazhang> !grub2 | THIS_IS_INSANE please have a read
[00:14] <Hamburger> THIS_IS_INSANE, edit /etc/boot/grub/menu.lst
[00:14] <bazhang> Hamburger, thats not correct
[00:15] <Hamburger> er
[00:15] <dov> Marqeaux: that's what i found, too
[00:15] <dov> Marqeaux: i guess it can't be done yet
[00:15] <dov> Marqeaux: thanks for trying, though
[00:16] <Autoclesis> when I right click to open a file with other application, why does it have like Krita or Gimp listed several times?
[00:16] <Autoclesis> why not just once?
[00:16] <Marqeaux> Dov: You're welcome. But it still is strange this couldn't be done in Evolution. Have you ever tried the same thing with Thunderbird? And did it work there?
[00:16] <Hamburger> /boot/grub/menu.lst sry
[00:16] <bazhang> Hamburger, no. please check the wiki
[00:16] <THIS_IS_INSANE> bazhang: ubottu: I didn't lose grub, I am unable to see the selection menu when I hit the shift key, and I want XP as the default.
[00:16] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 Hamburger
[00:17] <THIS_IS_INSANE> Hamburger: thanks, I'll try that
[00:17] <dov> Marqeaux: I didn't try it with tbird.  I know that tbird uses the lightning plugin, but that's about the extent of my knowledge of it
[00:17] <drahst> which runs better on ubuntu, Xen or KVM?
[00:17] <bazhang> THIS_IS_INSANE, thats not the correct info
[00:17] <drahst> or is it zen
[00:17] <oohupursforthepr> hi thanks got desktop toolbar back but it is very different to one i left. there is simply toolbar at top with applications, places and system no sidebar. how do i get back to the one i love (sob)
[00:17] <Marqeaux> Dov: Ah, okay....
[00:17] <Hamburger> ok i didn't realize grub2 changed so much
[00:17] <dov> Marqeaux: i don't have time to switch apps now anyway
[00:17] <bazhang> Hamburger, it did
[00:17] <Autoclesis> what do I do about an update that never updates and cannot be deleted from the update list?
[00:18] <Marqeaux> Dov: I understand! ;-)
[00:18] <oohupursforthepr> update it
[00:18] <THIS_IS_INSANE> bazhang: thanks.
[00:18] <Autoclesis> I did
[00:18] <Hamburger> THIS_IS_INSANE, /etc/default/grub is what you want
[00:18] <Autoclesis> It never does anything
[00:18] <Marqeaux> Dov: Good luck anyway.... ;-)
[00:18] <Hamburger> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 read that THIS_IS_INSANE
[00:18] <Autoclesis> it's for Krita
[00:18] <oohupursforthepr> ne ideas im stuck in ubuntu classic
[00:18] <Hamburger> what would happen if i installed a package with apt-get for an older release of ubuntu than what i have? https://launchpad.net/~slicer/+archive/ppa only has packages up to maverick and i'm running natty
[00:18] <oohupursforthepr> dont
[00:19] <bazhang> Hamburger, I answered that already
[00:19] <oohupursforthepr> see previous crash thread
[00:19] <Autoclesis> i chose classic i can't handle unity
[00:19] <PythonSnake> no one can help me ?
[00:19] <Hamburger> bazhang, where?
[00:19] <bazhang> oohupursforthepr, you are in classic? whats the issue
[00:19] <oohupursforthepr> i love unity classic hurting my poor brain
[00:19] <Hamburger> oh
[00:19] <Hamburger> gotcha
 Hamburger, might work. have had done so in the past. PPA are completely unsupported in any event you realize
[00:19] <oohupursforthepr> i was in unity it crashed was told to restart in classic
[00:19] <oohupursforthepr> which i did
[00:19] <Hamburger> this channel scrolls too quickly :\
[00:20] <oohupursforthepr> now want to get back to corrupted unity
[00:20] <THIS_IS_INSANE> Hamburger: true dat...
[00:20] <bazhang> oohupursforthepr, easy on the enter key, its impossible to follow your posts
[00:20] <oohupursforthepr> i had downloaded wrong gnome app that made sidebar and toolbar disappear
[00:20] <bazhang> oohupursforthepr, what "wrong gnome app"
[00:21] <oohupursforthepr> and nothing worked.
[00:21] <oohupursforthepr> something to do with changing desktop graphics and all that
[00:21] <bazhang> oohupursforthepr, answer my question please
[00:21] <oohupursforthepr> g somthing or other. then suddenly everything went 'gnome' on me
[00:21] <Corey> !enter | oohupursforthepr
[00:21] <bazhang> oohupursforthepr, exact name please
[00:22] <oohupursforthepr> hold on then
[00:23] <bazhang> oohupursforthepr, gnome3 then
[00:24] <THIS_IS_INSANE> bazhang: how do I open a command line?
[00:24] <zi> in gnome alt-f2 and gnome-terminal
[00:24] <bazhang> THIS_IS_INSANE, alt ctrl T
[00:24] <zi> :'o
[00:24] <THIS_IS_INSANE> bazhang: thanks.
[00:25] <westz> THIS_IS_INSANE: or ctrl+alt+T by default (depends if you've messed with your keyboard configs
[00:25] <westz> *)
[00:25] <oohupursforthepr> compiz
[00:25] <oohupursforthepr> config
[00:26] <oohupursforthepr> open gl or summin
[00:26] <RD_1542> anyone have a spare minute or two to help with what seems some internet connection problems, helping someone get their connection back.
[00:26] <bazhang> oohupursforthepr, this is ughtt from earlier, right?
[00:26] <oohupursforthepr> oui monsinour
[00:27] <bazhang> oohupursforthepr, opengl or summin? whats the exact package name
[00:27] <THIS_IS_INSANE> bazhang: westz: and the command is edit /etc/default/grub right?
[00:27] <westz> RD_1542: ETHERNET OR WIRELESS?
[00:27] <bazhang> THIS_IS_INSANE, please read the wiki before proceeding.
[00:28] <oohupursforthepr> compiz. my full name is oohupyoursforthepriceoffish (dont ask) by the way but thats a diff story. compiz open gl
[00:28] <RD_1542> ethernet, just dissapeared on her, did to mine a week or so, but reappeared
[00:28] <THIS_IS_INSANE> bazhang: I was
[00:28] <oohupursforthepr> the problem is i am getting commands off linux mag with different cd to one installed
[00:29] <oohupursforthepr> both say ubuntu 11.04 though but noticed differences in tabs etc
[00:29] <westz> RD_1542: try doing it in command line. the Arch wiki has good documentation on doing it
[00:29] <bazhang> THIS_IS_INSANE, you need an editor, edit wont do anything
[00:30] <RoC_MasterMind> is there documentation of the post-install iSCSI on root process and what's needed?
[00:30] <bazhang> !info compiz-opengl | oohupursforthepr
[00:30] <oohupursforthepr> now i installed this desktop graphics app and it all went downhill. alt f2 didnt work. now sidebar or toolbar. now in classic and wondering how to get home must be something you can do like system restore surely
[00:30] <oohupursforthepr> well it does in linux mag
[00:31] <bazhang> oohupursforthepr, was it gnome3?
[00:31] <oohupursforthepr> its called linux magbook published by computer shopper pcpro and micromart
[00:31] <THIS_IS_INSANE> oh okay. I thought I could edit it from a command line.
[00:31] <bazhang> sudo nano THIS_IS_INSANE
[00:31] <westz> bazhang: dammit i had that all typed out.... you stole it!
[00:32] <bazhang> oohupursforthepr, being a magazine wont change the ubuntu software
[00:32] <RD_1542> trying to see if she has ethool installed, at least, so trying 1 other thing brb
[00:32] <RD_1542> have been on command line, though eth cards would be listed in interfaces, hers is not, just auto lo, but same on mine
[00:32] <lapaga> where does ubuntu download updates to and is it safe to delete them?
[00:33] <bazhang> oohupursforthepr, sounds like you installed the gnome3 PPA.
[00:33] <RoC_MasterMind> anybody got iscsi on root working?  it installs fine, but how to boot from it?
[00:33] <bazhang> oohupursforthepr, there is no system restore, unless you have full backups
[00:34] <oohupursforthepr> on page82. the ubuntu version i installed was from linux format mag
[00:35] <oohupursforthepr> i mean they could talk to each other....same version numbers should be exactly the same surely
[00:35] <bazhang> oohupursforthepr, whats the name of it
[00:35] <RD_1542> no luck on ethool, was not in her install set, not sure where else to look if her card is even being seen,
[00:35] <westz> RD_1542: ifconfig
[00:36] <RD_1542> ifconfig only shows loopback
[00:36] <westz> then it's not seeing eth
[00:36] <oohupursforthepr> the program that messed me up was from linux magbook a sort of handbook mag bought at stanstead airport :)   the other i like more and that it corrupted was from linux format mag by future publishing
[00:36] <RD_1542> is a dual boot machine, and has internet in windows
[00:36] <taraduffy> can anyone have a go with helping with a fstab mounting error?
[00:37] <oohupursforthepr> both say ubuntu 11.04 on mag and disc
[00:37] <oohupursforthepr> gonna sue ha
[00:37] <bazhang> oohupursforthepr, whats the linux distro name.
[00:37] <ohir> lapaga: /var/cache/apt. Its better to let apt apt-cache take care of ot
[00:38] <oohupursforthepr> just says ubuntu 11.04 on both
[00:38] <lapaga> ohir, thank you
[00:38] <bazhang> oohupursforthepr, and the name of the "desktop app" that you installed?
[00:38] <ohir> lapaga: open your terminal and type man apt-cache to know how
[00:38] <oohupursforthepr> theyve c***ked  up somewhere methinks. the name is compiz open gl i was told to install from linux magbook page 82
[00:39] <ohir> lapaga: also you may learn a bit about apt apt-get et consortes
[00:39] <bazhang> oohupursforthepr, no package by that name
[00:39] <oohupursforthepr> bought it a week ago aboout
[00:39] <oohupursforthepr> uy
[00:39] <oohupursforthepr> yes there is
[00:39] <brig> Why cant I cat /dev/video0?
[00:40] <rhin0> because its  a device brig
[00:40] <brig> rhin0: ok well what should I use to get the contents?
[00:41] <brig> I want to get at the raw data in my webcam from java, how/where should I start?
[00:41] <oohupursforthepr> i ran it on my computer. someone  should tell them bcause im sure it will happen to someone else when u install systems that have EXACTLY same name you expect advice to be same and everying
[00:42] <rhin0> well  i'd start by googling /dev/video0 libraries / read etc / java
[00:42] <oohupursforthepr> people tend to buy lots of diff mags when they install new operating systems and it advertised itself as bloomin mag manual but there u go dont hold grudges
[00:43] <brig> rhin0: did that, and everything seems to point to cat /dev/video0 but it says I cant do this
[00:43] <wangjian> wangjian@ubuntu:~$  java -version
[00:43] <wangjian> [07:41] <wangjian_> 程序“
[00:43] <brig> rhin0: invalid argument
[00:43] <oohupursforthepr> neway ne ideas as to how to get back to unity from classic or am i stuck now
[00:44] <oohupursforthepr> i know the answer
[00:44] <rhin0> last time I looked at something like this -- was the frambuffer -- some way you could get /dev/fb0 to be used like a file (cat it pipe it etc) -- I reckon /dev/video0 just has to be regarde by the OS in a different way?  brig
[00:44] <rhin0> won't be that simple brig I don't think
[00:44] <wangjian> hello
[00:44] <rhin0> maybe try cp (copy) with it brig? Oo
[00:45] <oohupursforthepr> oh heck oh well gotta go gfriend screaming ha. computer divorce soon ta for now x
[00:45] <wangjian> i have some questions about java

[00:47] <Roasted> When trying to run gksu nautilus I get - Nautilus could not create the frequired folder /root/.config/nautilus. create the following folder or set permissions such that nautilus can create it. Problem is, I cant create it.
[00:47] <Roasted> How can I fix?
[00:47] <Corey> westz_: Yes?
[00:48] <Corey> Roasted: Stop running as root.
[00:48] <Corey> Roasted: Failing that, sudo mkdir -p /root/.config/nautilus
[00:48] <westz_> Corey: did i message you? im just messing with !***
[00:49] <Roasted> Corey, I need to run nautilus as root though because I dont have permission to usr/share/themes
[00:49] <Roasted> I want to install a new theme
[00:50] <westz_> Roasted: install it to ~/.themes instead?
[00:50] <OY1R> dont run nautilus with sudo use gsudo or what ever it's called i dont remember
[00:50] <phux> OY1R: its gksu
[00:50] <Roasted> westz_, I suppose. ist hat best practice? .themes doesnt exist by default in 11.04
[00:50] <OY1R> there it was gksu thanks
[00:50] <Roasted> westz_, none the less I want the ability to use root nautilus....
[00:50] <phux> Roasted: mkdir ~/.themes
[00:50] <westz_> Roasted: odd, its there in 10.04...
[00:51] <Roasted> westz_, yes, but not in 11.04 :(
[00:51] <Roasted> nor is .icons
[00:51] <westz_> create them then
[00:51] <Roasted> westz_, I can. but tha doesnt SOLVE my issue.
[00:51] <Roasted> I should be able to use root nautilus.
[00:51] <phux> Roasted: gksu nautilus in terminal
[00:51] <westz_> why? you risk screwing up a lot of stuff
[00:51] <Roasted> westz_, I work in IT with linux. It's just eaiser sometimes.
[00:51] <westz_> and what phux  said
[00:51] <Roasted> phux, I get an error with that.
[00:52] <phux> me not
[00:52] <phux> tell me the error
[00:52] <Roasted> Nautilus could not create the required folder.
[00:52] <Roasted> /root/.config/nautilus
[00:52] <westz_> odd, it works for me
[00:53] <Roasted> maybe my install is borked. some of my themeing looks weird.
[00:53] <westz_> try gksu gnome-terminal, then run gksu nautilus in that
[00:53] <phux> Roasted: sudo /root/.config/nautilus -p
[00:53] <phux> forgot that mkdir
[00:53] <Roasted> phux, command not found
[00:53] <Roasted> ah
[00:53] <phux> Roasted: sudo mkdir /root/.config/nautilus -p
[00:53] <phux> sorry
[00:53] <Roasted> phux, that fixed it
[00:53] <Roasted> phux, whats with the -p though?
[00:54] <phux> make path to directory, if it doesnt exist
[00:54] <westz_> Roasted: so it creates the .config too
[00:55] <westz_> why am i still westz_ when i've identified for Westz?
[00:56] <phux> actually this wasnt the best way, should have put that -p direct behind mkdir to be able to recall the last argument. just for correct workflow :)
[00:58] <westz_> !ping
[00:58] <westz_> hmm
[01:01] <THIS_IS_INSANE> westz_: for future reference, when the monitor won't display the grub screen, use startupmanager and go to the advanced tab, and then bootloader menu resolution, and set it to the max screen size of the monitor this will eliminate any "out of range" type errors. also, startupmanager can set the default OS that boots.
[01:05] <ray24> Hi, I'm having trouble getting QTstalker to draw up stock quotes. I think it may be an update issue
[01:07] <ray24> any help would be great!
[01:10] <captainkrtek_> hi, I installed gnome 3 in ubuntu 11.04 and in the middle of reverting back to gnome 2 I had a kernel panic, then when i booted up again I only got a recovery console. I was able to install the gnome panel but now its not a login option
[01:10] <Muffin-Man> ok, my wife is on my linux box atm, what command from root can i make an xwindow popup on her system remotely? ive tried wall and xmessage to no avail
[01:11] <rhin0> captainkrtek I would guess your system can't run gnome3 your graphics card isn't capable of it?
[01:11] <captainkrtek_> rhin0, well it ran it for a bit, but then had issues
[01:11] <captainkrtek_> I decided I wanted to revert back
[01:11] <rhin0> log in using classic mode -- download all updates all proprietary graphics drivers and try again if you want to
[01:11] <captainkrtek_> I cant login to class mode
[01:11] <captainkrtek_> when I boot I get two options, user defined session and recovery console
[01:12] <rhin0> I don't understand that when you click on the user upon loggin in you should have a menu with desktop selection on it -- one of them being ubuntu classic one being ubuntu classic without effects -- (not using compiz)
[01:12] <captainkrtek_> I dont
[01:13] <captainkrtek_> I just have two options now
[01:13] <captainkrtek_> the rest are gone
[01:13] <rhin0> did you see them initially captainkrtek
[01:13] <captainkrtek_> rhin0 yeah when I had the system running fine
[01:13] <captainkrtek_> after I installed gnome3 some where still there
[01:13] <allure> Hello. I can't access my compactflash card inside my nikon that is connected by USB. I can only use F-Spot but I would like to mount it... >> Bus 002 Device 005: ID 04b0:0425 Nikon Corp.
[01:14] <captainkrtek_> but removing gnome3 got rid of everything
[01:14] <captainkrtek_> :/
[01:14] <rhin0> I would re-install - try to get the classic desktop (no effects) then completely update the system and get all the recommended proprietary graphics card drivers to try again captainkrtek -- which may get it working
[01:15] <captainkrtek_> yeah im trying to reinstall all gnome from synaptic
[01:15] <RD_1542> think i found issue, problem is with networkmanager.state, though can;t edit it from false to true in vi
[01:15] <rhin0> well good luck with that -- would prefer to start with a plain install again myself captainkrtek
[01:16] <captainkrtek_> rhin0: me too but I cant afford that on this machine :/
[01:16] <ActionParsnip> RD_1542: use sudo and you will get full access to the file, you may need to kill network manager
[01:16] <coz_> !netplit
[01:16] <coz_> !netsplit
[01:16] <allure> Hello! I deleted some pictures from my camera (Nikon 300S) but I have to get it back. I know how to recover pictures but my ubuntu won't read my compact flash... does anyone know how to make this work?
[01:16] <RD_1542> how do i kill network manager?
[01:17] <ActionParsnip> captainkrtek_: http://www.ajopaul.com/2011/04/26/ubuntu-11-04-uninstall-gnome3-and-revert-to-gnome-2-x/   I found that but haven't used it
[01:17] <ActionParsnip> captainkrtek_: may help you (I'm guessing you used the gnome3 ppa and want to revert)
[01:17] <rhin0> if you know the program name of network manager you can then ps | grep for the pid then type kill -9 pid RD_1542
[01:17] <captainkrtek_> ActionParsnip: I was using that, then halfway through (after the second step) I had a kernel panic, then when I rebooted all I had was a recovery console
[01:18] <slack-m> 35-2 betty
[01:18] <captainkrtek_> ActionParsnip: I then continued, removed it, and installed gnome panel, but its still not working 100%
[01:18] <ActionParsnip> allure: you may be able to use scalpel or foremost to recover data if the drive can be accessed
[01:18] <slack-m> wrong window
[01:18] <RD_1542> i am nt sure of the name rhin0,

[01:40] <YankDownUnder> Yes, driver updates can break your Xorg - however, follow the instructions I gave you, reconfigure your Xorg, and you're all set mate.

[01:41] <em> PythonSnake: I am not qualified to answer that question. I would think that drivers could mess up a lot of things. I don't think Modern Ubuntu even uses xorg.conf to deal with your drivers anymore though. It's supposed to just somehow recognize it.

[02:11] <BrianCelery> edbian: correct.
[02:11] <edbian> BrianCelery: Did you create a liveUSB and you just can't get it to boot?
[02:12] <ActionParsnip> BrianCelery: as long as it can do what you need, sure why not
[02:12] <BrianCelery> edbian: a while ago. That was my first idea for solving the issue.
[02:12] <edbian> BrianCelery: Can you boot Ubuntu on the external right now?
[02:12] <BrianCelery> ActionParsnip: I might as well get another Ubuntu iso, so that when I come back in here after I reboot with it, the instructions are the same.
[02:12] <ActionParsnip> BrianCelery: makes sense

[02:13] <PythonSnake> Is GNOME 3 good
[02:13] <BrianCelery> But... If I do reboot and it doesn't work, I'm euchred.
[02:13] <edbian> BrianCelery: You formatted the window partition?  That means it's erased.  What is the goal here?  Sounds to me like you have Ubuntu and grub installed on the external and windowboot loader but no windows at all installed on the internal
[02:14] <ActionParsnip> PythonSnake: good is subjective to opinion. It however is not stable

[02:15] <BrianCelery> So I am IN windows now, on the internal drive. but if I reboot the computer without connecting the external, the computer will give me a grub rescue error
[02:15] <edbian> BrianCelery: Ahhh, so you can boot windows or linux but you must have the external plugged in.  Is that it?
[02:15] <BrianCelery> Yes.
[02:16] <edbian> BrianCelery: Which drive is /dev/sda  ?
[02:16] <edbian> BrianCelery: is that the internal?  (probably)
[02:16] <BrianCelery> And because I formatted that NTFS partition and changed it to FAT, I don't know if I can boot from that hard drive at the moment... And I haven't tried as I didn't want the computer to reboot.
[02:16] <BrianCelery> I don't know off hand, I'm in Windows. Should I log into IRC on the Macbook and then see if it boots?
[02:16] <BrianCelery> Because if I get into Ubuntu we can fix it from there, can we not?
[02:17] <BrianCelery> (Macbook == second computer) so I can stay on IRC while we fix this one
[02:17] <edbian> BrianCelery: I'm confused about which machine is which and what the partitions are on the target machine.

[02:21] <Roasted> KM0201, cause that's all I want
[02:21] <m_fulder> can I somehow run a command with an anti-sudo
[02:21] <m_fulder> ?
[02:21] <Corey> iceroot: There's a PM though.
[02:21] <Corey> iceroot: I'm vaguely aware of how ubottu works. ;-)
[02:21] <KM0201> Roasted: yes, i can see them, but i cannot play them
[02:21] <Roasted> KM0201, my problem is, mine doesnt even mount. It just errors out
[02:21] <Roasted> KM0201, can you format these things?
[02:21] <iceroot> [03:20]     Corey | Note the lack of factoid.
[02:21] <KM0201> Roasted: not to work w/ Linux.
[02:21] <Corey> iceroot: Yes.  Lack.  Not lag.
[02:21] <iceroot> Corey: ok
[02:21] <PythonSnake> Where is Synaptics on gnome  2 ?
[02:21] <Roasted> KM0201, no, format as in, return to factory settings
[02:21] <Roasted> KM0201, this zune was my gf's, so it has all her stuff on it.
[02:22] <Roasted> I figured I could do it in banshee or something.
[02:22] <KM0201> Roasted: umm.. i think you need zune marketplace to do that
[02:22] <BrianCelery> edbian: Good to go
[02:22] <KM0201> Roasted: unfortunately not
[02:22] <edbian> BrianCelery: hi
[02:22] <Roasted> KM0201, can I add/remove music as I wish on these things or do I need to use the marketplace entirely for that?
[02:22] <KM0201> i take it you don't have windows at all?
[02:22] <BrianCelery> edbian: okay, so the external still boots to grub
[02:22] <PythonSnake> please
[02:22] <aTypical> Did I lose you ActionParsnip ?
[02:22] <PythonSnake> I got to go soon
[02:22] <Roasted> KM0201, I do, I just dont have enough space to put music on it to sync like that.
[02:22] <KM0201> Roasted: the only way to sync a zune, is to use Zune Marketplace (it can be music you've gotten from other places, thats just the name of the software)
[02:23] <BrianCelery> does that mean I should just boot to recovery environment and fixmbr? Or are we going to rebuild grub
[02:23] <PythonSnake> Where is synaptic..
[02:23] <crazybrain> ActionParsnip: how to install intel 945g
[02:23] <Corey> PythonSnake: We shall be here when you get back.
[02:23] <Roasted> KM0201, then I think I'll give this back to my girlfriend. :P
[02:23] <crazybrain> ?
[02:23] <Roasted> and get a REAL music player.
[02:23] <Corey> !synaptic | PythonSnake
[02:23] <crazybrain> in ubuntu 10.04
[02:23] <edbian> BrianCelery: BrianCelery So the internal hdd only has windows on it?
[02:23] <edbian> BrianCelery: Was Ubuntu on that hdd at one time?
[02:23] <BrianCelery> edbian: correct
[02:23] <BrianCelery> No.
[02:23] <KM0201> Roasted: can you put XP in vbox, then keep your music on the "host" OS, and sync the Zune in the Guest OS, off the host drive? (thats what i do)
[02:23] <PythonSnake> Thanks ubottu :)
[02:23] <Roasted> KM0201, no offense, but no.
[02:23] <TrD> hi all
[02:23] <Roasted> KM0201, it either works in Linux, or I don't use it.
[02:24] <KM0201> Roasted: ok.. well, you'll get no joy there.. for sure.
[02:24] <Roasted> If a company is going to be naive and/or self righteous enough not to support Linux, then I won't support them. Even if it is a free gift from my lady friend.
[02:24] <BrianCelery> edbian: I'm logged into Ubuntu.
[02:24] <edbian> BrianCelery: Grub doesn't git in the MBR.  part of it goes there and the other part goes in /boot/grub.  I think /boot/grub is on the second hdd but grub is on the internal hdd MBR.
[02:24] <TrD> is psad compatible with Ubuntu natty ?
[02:24] <Roasted> However, this thing is acting weird. I almost wonder if the hard drive is okay in it.
[02:24] <Corey> Roasted: This is a support channel, not an advocacy channel.  Please take it elsewhere.
[02:24] <BrianCelery> edbian: how to verify?
[02:24] <Corey> Roasted: Zune isn't supported here at all.  Try another channel?
[02:24] <Roasted> Corey, no thanks.
[02:24] <edbian> BrianCelery: which is the internal drive?  /dev/sda or /dev/sdb  ?
[02:24] <Roasted> Corey, no thanks.
[02:24] <KM0201> Roasted: i dunno.. i got a great deal on an 80gig zune a few years ago, and i love it.
[02:24] <AlphaPsi> How big should a swamp partition be?
[02:24] <KM0201> its been flawless for me
[02:25] <BrianCelery> edbian: I should be using grep to find that out?
[02:25] <Roasted> KM0201, It's just weird, some google results are returning some users having success. Weird.
[02:25] <edbian> BrianCelery: sudo fdisk -l
[02:25] <edbian> BrianCelery: :)
[02:25] <Corey> Roasted: Again, it's unsupported here.
[02:25] <Roasted> KM0201, it sounds entirely hit/miss, though. You have to wonder if playlists even work, etc.
[02:25] <KM0201> Roasted: i guarantee you, nobody has had success syncing it under Linux, guarantee...
[02:25] <KM0201> Roasted: only way to et it to work under Linux, is w/ a virtual OS...
[02:25] <Roasted> KM0201, well you at least had success mounting it. I did not. :P
[02:25] <AlphaPsi> How big should a swap partition be?**
[02:26] <Roasted> KM0201, do you know of any Linux-friendly devices that are like an ipod/zune?
[02:26] <KM0201> Roasted: yeah.. :) (and honestly, i'd never gotten that far before..)
[02:26] <BrianCelery> edbian: sda is internal, sdb is external
[02:26] <Roasted> KM0201, learn something new then, eh? :P
[02:26] <Corey> !ipod | Roasted
[02:26] <ChaosSaber> AlphaPsi, atleast 2GB
[02:26] <Roasted> Corey, I got it. Thanks.
[02:26] <Roasted> Corey, that didn't help, but thanks.
[02:26] <Roasted> Corey, I was asking for something LIKE an ipod, not an ipod.
[02:26] <KM0201> Roasted: the archos devices are popular.. kind of expensive, but they apparently work w/ Linux, and most Ipods work w/ Linux (although the Linux IPOD tools suck)
[02:26] <AlphaPsi> What do you mean by at least?
[02:26] <Corey> Roasted: You just asked for something ipod like that works.  How is an ipod not useful? :-)
[02:26] <Roasted> Corey, it's made by Apple. Self explanatory there.
[02:26] <Roasted> Corey, but thanks.
[02:27] <ChaosSaber> AlphaPsi, you can make it any size you want but nothing under 2GB
[02:27] <Corey> Roasted: Go check out Rockbox then?
[02:27] <Corey> Surely they have an HCL.
[02:27] <Roasted> KM0201, I never heard of archos... hmm...
[02:27] <Roasted> Corey, I have RockBox on my Sansa. I wasn't too sure how much I liked it.
[02:27] <AlphaPsi> ChaosSaber: I got that, haha, but how big do people usually do them? 2gb? or more?
[02:27] <Roasted> Corey, in fact, once I put RockBox on my Sansa, it screwed up my default user interface that came with it. I actually prefer it to RockBox, and now I'm stuck with it. :(
[02:27] <Roasted> Corey, I just want a half decent feature packed device that can sync music without a hassle.
[02:27] <edbian> BrianCelery: dd if=/dev/sda1 of=internalMBR bs=512 count=1
[02:28] <ChaosSaber> AlphaPsi, it really just depends on the person, I have mine at 2.5GB
[02:28] <edbian> BrianCelery: Then file internalMBR
[02:28] <Corey> Roasted: You're going to have some kind of hassle no matter what you pick, unfortunately.
[02:28] <edbian> BrianCelery: The first command reads the bytes from the MBR, the second translates them to human readable form and prints to the screen
[02:28] <KM0201> Roasted: unfortunatley corey is right there
[02:28] <edbian> BrianCelery: It will tell you if you have grub installed on that hdd or not
[02:28] <Roasted> KM0201, this saddens me :(
[02:29] <KM0201> Roasted: yep.. ..
[02:29] <Roasted> I wonder if I can get this Sansa back to factory settings without rockbox... off to therockbox chat...
[02:29] <KM0201> lol
[02:29] <Roasted> I just hope I can get back the default user interface...
[02:29] <PythonSnake> I've got a problem I was downloading wine with software center system froze and i reboot now it won't download anymore but it install..
[02:30] <PythonSnake> so how to fix that?
[02:30] <BrianCelery> edbian: so how to I tell?
[02:30] <edbian> BrianCelery: Read it using file.  Does it say 'Grand Unified Bootloader?'
[02:31] <edbian> BrianCelery: I have to go.  There are other people here :)
[02:31] <DrDuck> How can I find out what the standard for tabstops are in the Ubuntu terminal?
[02:31] <BrianCelery> But no, it doesnt say that
[02:33] <pie__> does anyone have a logitech.xml file in   /etc/udev/data/046d/logitech.xml
[02:33] <hylian> i hate xterm but want to be able to log in to just a terminal window, any way i can log into gnome-terminal?
[02:33] <pie__> I need it for uvcdynctrl so I can get my webcams pan/tilt working >.>
[02:34] <Joe123> #c
[02:35] <chaddy> hylian: openbox is close to that
[02:35] <wechat> Hello. What is the price in english-speking countries of used IBM Thinkpad on which I could install linux?
[02:35] <PythonSnake> Bye guys
[02:35] <PythonSnake> Thanks for the help !!!
[02:36] <hylian> chaddy, i would like to use what is already on the system, i am familiar with gnome-terminal, not so much openbox.
[02:36] <crazybrain> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.  what does that mean???
[02:37] <ZykoticK9> crazybrain, did you try running "sudo dpkg --configure -a" in a terminal?  it means something isn't configured properly.
[02:38] <chaddy> hylian: I could be wrong, but isn't it in your login menu?
[02:38] <BrianCelery> ActionParsnip: were you following/ are you available/ need a recap?
[02:38] <hylian> chaddy, it is now because i just sudo apt-get install'd openbox. openbox does not come with ubuntu vanilla.
[02:39] <chaddy> must have been on the verge of sleep when I snuck that one past myself, then ;)
[02:39] <hylian> chaddy, i want to log into a terminal, not another version of gnome on a hunger strike. but i hate xterm with a passion.
[02:39] <ZykoticK9> hylian, FYI openbox is a windows manager.  Why do you want only a terminal?
[02:40] <chaddy> hylian: configure openbox to open a terminal
[02:40] <cpgo> Which setting in ccsm was it that allowed you to move a window via keyboard shortcut to fill up half the screen on left/right or top/bottom
[02:40] <chaddy> gnome-terminal he wants, ZykoticK9
[02:40] <hylian> ZykoticK9, actually the option to boot to xterm already exists. I just find it lacking in easy access to controls. That's why I like gnome-terminal
[02:40] <ZykoticK9> hylian, buy WHY do you want only a terminal?
[02:40] <ZykoticK9> s/buy/but/
[02:40] <chaddy> and an xserver, presumably
[02:41] <hylian> chaddy, if that's what i wanted, i would have set up gnome to do so on my own. I don't want (windows manager) then terminal, just want terminal. thanks though
[02:42] <hylian> ZykoticK9, well, i do a  lot of stuff cli, but now and again i use an x app, like xlinks.
[02:42] <chaddy> ctrl + alt F1-F6
[02:42] <DriversFixed> Can someone explain how to mute a sound source
[02:42] <chaddy> hylian: you can't get away from the fact that gnome-terminal needs an x server
[02:42] <hylian> chaddy, no. ctrl-alt f1 through f6 has no x draw capability. thanks for the idea though!
[02:42] <hylian> chaddy, exactly. I do want x running.
[02:43] <chaddy> hmm, cross purposes
[02:43] <chaddy> so you want a bare x session, but instead of xterm, gnome-terminal?
[02:44] <hylian> so how do you add an option to log into something like gnome-terminal. in windows, if i wanted to, i could make notepad the kernel, why i would want to i don't know, but i could. should be able to log into gnome-terminal...
[02:44] <RD_1542> am fighting a network manager issue, changes to false on shutdown, think this time because of power failure, is it easier to disable network manager, and configure manually in etc interfaces file ?
[02:44] <DriversFixed> How do I mute a sound source
[02:44] <hylian> chaddy, exactly!
[02:44] <trism> hylian: you can't run gnome-terminal without x, you can create a new .desktop file in /usr/share/xsessions copying the xterm.desktop and replace the references to xterm with gnome-terminal and log into that
[02:45] <hylian> trism, i want to run x. please read the entire stream, thank you.
[02:45] <trism> hylian: oh sorry, I misread that
[02:46] <hylian> trism, great idea! i think i'll try that!
[02:46] <hylian> ok y'all, brb, perhaps loggin into gnome-terminal!
[02:47] <DriversFixed> How do I mute a sound source?  The nonexistence of an obvious utility to mute a sound source makes Ubuntu nearly unusable for me and is inexcusable
[02:49] <DriversFixed> Bah good day.  http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/25140/ suggests that one does not exist.
[02:49] <OerHeks> DriversFixed, open terminal: alsamixer, then use m for mute
[02:49] <rhin0> driversfixed alsamixer from a terminal gives  you complete control over sound
[02:50] <OerHeks> jups
[02:50] <smsfail> whats the best email client for ubunutu?
[02:50] <DriversFixed> How do I mute an application
[02:50] <DriversFixed> Without muting everything
[02:50] <KM0201> !best | smsfail
[02:50] <rhin0> if the application has its own volume control -- that is down to the application
[02:50] <DriversFixed> rhin0 - what if the application does not, or if it's broken
[02:51] <rhin0> for isntance mplayer has its own volume control -- you can mute mplayer and still have firefox etc playing sound
[02:51] <DriversFixed> well, aside from mplayer, what should I do
[02:52] <root> peace
[02:52] <OerHeks> you could make a short key Volume mute
[02:52] <KM0201> !rootirc | root
[02:53] <DriversFixed> OerHeks:  How do I do that for a given application?
[02:53] <Guest95428> not if using read-only live cd isn't it?
[02:54] <OerHeks> if the application has no mute, only mute left is systemwide
[02:54] <KM0201> Guest95428: still not the best of ideas.. but i see your point.
[02:54] <DriversFixed> OerHeks:  So basically you're saying that this basic functionality does not exist in Ubuntu.
[02:55] <bk_> can someone tell me if there is a size limit to a tar.gz file?  I got this message,
[02:55] <bk_> gzip: stdout: File too large
[02:55] <bk_> tar: /media/ULTRA TD/06.27.11.tar.gz: Wrote only 8192 of 10240 bytes
[02:55] <bk_> tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
[02:55] <dr_willis> its a function of the pulse audio sound system. not all programs support pulse audio fully.
[02:55] <hoopyfreud> is halp to be found here?
[02:55] <OerHeks> DriversFixed, no that is not what i am saying.
[02:56] <OerHeks> open alsamixer, and you can mute
[02:56] <rhin0> bk_ I think it means too large for the device you are writing it onto -- /media/ultra td -- is that a usb key (or something)
[02:56] <DriversFixed> I don't see anything but a system-wide mute in alsamixer
[02:56] <rhin0> need to write it onto your hard disk bk_
[02:56] <rhin0> yes driversfixed -- alsamixer just gives you more controls -- won't mute your application
[02:56] <bk_> rhin0, it's an external hard drive.  it says it still has 37 GB of freespace, which should have been more than enough.
[02:57] <DriversFixed> So.... I should go to windows then.
[02:57] <rhin0> driversfixed I am sure there is a way of doing it -- just that nobody here knows -- keep asking or research it using google or on ubuntu forums
[02:58] <dr_willis> Pulse Audio does has perapp volume control. - if the apps are written to use pulse audio i belive.
[02:58] <ZykoticK9> rhin0, FYI it's not possible with ALSA but it's "slightly" possible with Pulse
[02:58] <hoopyfreud> Mangler won;t install on 11.04... help! Repo cannot be added... terminal gives message "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mangler/mangler

[03:08] <ivanBliminse> Hello IRC... does anyone know if in unity you can have a stack apps in the launcher??
[03:08] <DriversFixed> ZykoticK9:  Which appears to be why it doesn't work anymore:  the only sound source it sees is "ALSA Plugin"
[03:09] <ivanBliminse> Or does anyone know how to keep every application from opening fully maximized in unity?
[03:11] <ivanBliminse> Or how if you running 11.04 in virtual box in full screen mode how to get the bottom VB menu to not go away...

[03:14] <ivanBliminse> BrianCLerey: you want to disable ubuntu from sleeping so your external hardrive doesn't shut off?
[03:14] <hoopyfreud> just go to power options in preferences

[03:15] <kaStevie> Hello everyone :), just wanted to check that #ayatana is the right place to ask questions about the software center?

[03:15] <hoopyfreud> can anyone help me install Mangler in11.04?
[03:16] <ZykoticK9> kaStevie, is it a "support" question?  If so, you should be asking here.
[03:16] <kaStevie> nope, I was looking for the design research on the software center
[03:16] <ZykoticK9> kaStevie, then I have no idea.  Good luck.
[03:16] <ivanBliminse> Does anyone know how to keep applications from opening up fully maximized in unity?

[03:28] <ActionParsnip> lapaga: if all you do is email and word process then no
[03:29] <ActionParsnip> Jora: please don't paste that here
[03:29] <Habeeb> ActionParsnip, Here you go.  http://pastebin.com/9Qi4debz
[03:29] <Jora> wrong window sorry
[03:29] <alex86> is seems that there are a lot of work to get LAMP to live: http://www.lamphowto.com/
[03:29] <alex86> *life
[03:30] <ZykoticK9> Habeeb, what problem are you having with Adobe Flash?
[03:30] <lapaga> ActionParsnip, well this is a very low ram system (256M) was wondering if a more current video card would take off the slack.  not I never email or use it for word process
[03:30] <Habeeb> ActionParsnip, My issue is that on certain websites such as Gametrailers.com, all flash content has these grey flickering areas
[03:30] <ActionParsnip> Habeeb: sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-installer; sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sevenmachines/flash; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -y install flashplugin64-installer
[03:31] <ActionParsnip> lapaga: if you want to run compiz and junk then it will make it smoother, I'd go for more RAM, it will make a bigger difference
[03:31] <ActionParsnip> Habeeb: gives 64bit flash for your 64bit OS
[03:31] <lapaga> ActionParsnip, so would I but new ram for this would cost much more than a new video card.  RambusRam is very expensive
[03:32] <Habeeb> ActionParsnip, I thought 64bit flash for linux was terrible.
[03:32] <Habeeb> ActionParsnip, oh wow, that fixed it.
[03:33] <hylian> trism: this is working perfect! :)
[03:34] <ActionParsnip> lapaga: oh jeez I thought that stuff died out properly
[03:34] <ActionParsnip> Habeeb: no it s sweeeeeet
[03:34] <AlphaPsi> What are the benefits of having a /home partition?
[03:34] <ActionParsnip> Habeeb: theres a ppa with 64bit java, no need for nspluginwrapper :)
[03:35] <ActionParsnip> AlphaPsi: backups are easier and if you reinstall you can simply mark the root partition for formatting and your user data will be untouched
[03:35] <uabn93> hello, is there a way to hide files between separate users accounts?
[03:35] <ActionParsnip> uabn93: do you mean not even allow them to see the filenames etc?
[03:35] <AlphaPsi> userdata as in wordfiles, music, etc.? Does it also include programs?
[03:36] <ActionParsnip> AlphaPsi: just settings and photos etc, anything which is in your home folder currently#
[03:36] <lapaga> ActionParsnip, yes it did but my computer did not:) oh well...will wait until my vacation checks come in
[03:36] <Habeeb> ActionParsnip, Thanks again.
[03:37] <ActionParsnip> lapaga: that stuff is real pricey, damn
[03:37] <ActionParsnip> Habeeb: np :)
[03:37] <ActionParsnip> lapaga: 105 GBP for 1Gb 400Mhz RAMBUS, that's not steep. It's vertical
[03:38] <AlphaPsi> The root and home partitions are Ext4 right?
[03:38] <trism> hylian: glad to hear it
[03:38] <ActionParsnip> AlphaPsi: by default yes, but you can change them if you use custome partitioning
[03:38] <AlphaPsi> What are the differences from Ext4, Ext3, Ext2, etc.?
[03:38] <uabn93> ActionParsnip: yes. Can a limited user account see the files of an admin account?
[03:39] <lapaga> ActionParsnip, yup and that is not actually making sure it will work...just the price of hoping someone will send you the right one.  Well guess I can wait to get a new computer
[03:39] <ZykoticK9> AlphaPsi, ext2 didn't use journalling
[03:39] <ActionParsnip> uabn93: by default, yes. If you set the group and other access to zero then ONLY the owning user will have any access :)
[03:40] <ZykoticK9> uabn93, FYI by default all Ubuntu users' home directories are READABLE by anyone -- this default is uncommon in the gnu/linux distro world.
[03:41] <uabn93> ActionParsnip: ahhh. that was simple. thanks for the help, buddy
[03:41] <uabn93> ZykoticK9: good to know. thank you
[03:43] <subimage> anyone know why after installing 11.04 from USB without downloading packages or 3rd party tools I can't get the GUI to boot?
[03:43] <ActionParsnip> uabn93: np man
[03:43] <fathom_> greetings all, I am trying to install Ubuntu onto an IBM thinkpad and the thing will not boot off the install disc. I set the boot device priority as DVD, but it still will not. Any ideas?
[03:43] <AlphaPsi> When I set the windows partition to mount /windows , will it slow it down? Just setting it to mount /windows will allow me to access the file within it correct? Any other things I need to know about doing that?
[03:43] <roasted__> Where sould Chromium's font preferences be stored at? The text in the tabs seem to be a little weird to me.
[03:43] <ActionParsnip> subimage: what video chip do you use?
[03:43] <TrevInc> subimage: are you hanging at the ubuntu logo screen?
[03:44] <subimage> i can get to terminal fine if i alt-ctrl-f1 but if i just let it boot my monitor gets no signal. this is on an ati radeon 5xxx
[03:44] <subimage> i think its a 5670
[03:44] <subimage> 5760...somethin like that
[03:44] <TrevInc> That's odd.
[03:44] <TrevInc> does the 5670 have multiple outputs?
[03:44] <subimage> yeah
[03:45] <subimage> like i see it begin to go through its little dot splash screen
[03:45] <TrevInc> are you connected to the DVI output?
[03:45] <subimage> then the monitor just loses...and yes dvi
[03:45] <subimage> like i said, i can see terminal on same output just fine
[03:45] <subimage> is it because 11.04 is "beta" or is that just a fluke?
[03:45] <ActionParsnip> subimage: try the boot option: nomodeset
[03:45] <TrevInc> ^
[03:45] <TrevInc> tihs
[03:45] <subimage> ActionParsnip: how do i do that?
[03:45] <ActionParsnip> subimage: 11.04 isn't beta, its released and stable
[03:46] <subimage> ActionParsnip: ok
[03:46] <ActionParsnip> !bootoption | subimage
[03:46] <subimage> !nomodeset
[03:47] <lapaga> chrome://settings/fonts
[03:47] <subimage> ActionParsnip: is that "safe graphics mode" then?
[03:47] <josh__> what up peoples
[03:47] <subimage> nmind /me reads forum
[03:49] <hoopyfreud> so whoknows how to destroy the nasty pink grub background in 11.04? I dint want a picture, just the old black/white color scheme
[03:50] <morth> hello
[03:50] <ActionParsnip> subimage: it will give you a deskto, you  can then install updates and/or the ati proprietary driver if you wish which should then fix things
[03:50] <Janos__> irc.perl.org
[03:50] <josh__> so i just put ubunto on my comp this weekend :D
[03:50] <josh__> i think im lovin' it!
[03:50] <morth> me too hehe
[03:51] <morth> guys, i have a problem.
[03:51] <hoopyfreud> orly?
[03:51] <AlphaPsi> When I set the windows partition to mount /windows , will it slow it down? Just setting it to mount /windows will allow me to access the file within it correct? Any other things I need to know about doing that?
[03:51] <ZykoticK9> hoopyfreud, if it's really Grub you are talking about check /etc/default/grub -- you need to run "sudo update-grub2" if you make any changes
[03:51] <ActionParsnip> hoopyfreud: has some insight into how colours are set: http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/archive/index.php/t-1243.html
[03:51] <morth> /dev/loop0 says available 14.4gb and /dev/sda3 (/host) shows 51.7gb
[03:51] <morth> how do i make it so i can use that 51gb?
[03:52] <hoopyfreud> in my grub.cfg file, the colors are still black/white, but it appears pink on boot
[03:52] <morth> because when im trying to install my game it says im running out of space
[03:52] <ActionParsnip> hoopyfreud: you dont touch grub.cfg
[03:52] <ZykoticK9> hoopyfreud, did this start after you install a propritary graphics driver?
[03:53] <ActionParsnip> morth: run:  ln -s /host ~/Windows\ Files             and you can save stuff on your NTFS partition
[03:53] <hoopyfreud> nope it seems to be the default on 11.04
[03:53] <ActionParsnip> hoopyfreud: to edit grub you change its files, then run: sudo update-grub    this generates grub.cfg
[03:54] <ZykoticK9> hoopyfreud, yet another reason 11.04 has caused Ubuntu to drop from the #1 spot on distrowatch ;)
[03:54] <hoopyfreud> yes, I know i have looked at grub.cfg and it says the colors are black and white
[03:55] <josh__> is there a specific room for specific apps?
[03:55] <ActionParsnip> morth: run the command I gave in a terminal and you will get a new folder in $HOME  when you save stuff in there it will go onto your NTFS files
[03:55] <josh__> i.e., Sribus?
[03:55] <morth> okay so i just open terminal and do  ln -s /host ~/Windows\ Files and it'll work?
[03:55] <morth> kk
[03:55] <ActionParsnip> josh__: sure, try #scribus    I gues you typo'd
[03:56] <josh__> gracias
[03:56] <josh__> yeah i typoed sorry
[03:56] <hoopyfreud> grub.cfg DOES contain the lines
[03:56] <hoopyfreud> "
[03:56] <hoopyfreud> ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme ###
[03:56] <hoopyfreud> set menu_color_normal=white/black
[03:56] <hoopyfreud> set menu_color_highlight=black/light-gray
[03:56] <hoopyfreud> if background_color 44,0,30; then
[03:56] <hoopyfreud>   clear
[03:56] <FloodBot1> hoopyfreud: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:56] <needwifi> hello, i'm my wireless isn't working. i see "wireless is disabled by hardware switch"
[03:57] <TrevInc> needwifi: press the wireless button/toggle switch. Have a nice day!
[03:57] <ActionParsnip> needwifi: do you have a switch or shortcut to turn wifi off and on?
[03:57] <ZykoticK9> needwifi, does you laptop have a Wireless hot-key combination, perhaps with a FN key?  If so, turn it on.
[03:57] <kevin> hey all. so i recently changed my vidcard and but i'm not using the proper opengl libraries anymore (switched from proprietary/binary fglrx driver to opensource ati driver) -- running any opengl apps segfaults (glxgears, glxinfo). i remember there is a command to change which files the opengl symlinks point to, but i cant remember. anyone?
[03:57] <hoopyfreud> needwifi: if that doesnt work, sudo rfkill unblock all
[03:57] <morth> ActionParsnip i just typed in " ln -s /host ~/Windows\ Files" and it didn't do anything.. atleast i dont think it did
[03:58] <ActionParsnip> morth: open your home folder ;)
[03:58] <needwifi> i'm not sure if there is a hot-key combination with the fn key. my computer's switch doesn't change from orange (off) to blue (on)
[03:58] <hoopyfreud> use sudo rfkill unblock all...
[03:58] <needwifi> didn't do anything
[03:58] <hoopyfreud> unless its n actual switch on the side of your machine it should
[03:58]  * ActionParsnip hates those stupid switches when they don't work
[03:59] <needwifi> it is an actual switch
[03:59] <hoopyfreud> then flip it to on
[03:59] <morth> okay noob question what did that do?
[03:59] <hoopyfreud> derp
[03:59] <morth> it shows Windows files now
[03:59] <needwifi> but it doesn't do anything
[03:59] <TrevInc> needwifi: something in your BIOS settings might be to blame
[03:59] <needwifi> it stays orange
[03:59] <morth> well the folder atleast
[03:59] <needwifi> trevinc: how can i tell?
[04:00] <morth> Actionparsnip okay so this allows me to put files into that folder using that leftover space i wanted to use?
[04:00] <rhin0> needwifi its a switch on your machine -- hardware switch means just that -- either a mechanical switch or a keyboard function key/wireless key
[04:00] <ActionParsnip> morth: it made a link which is like a windows shortcut but a tonne more powerful. It just makes things easier when you want to access your windows data
[04:01] <needwifi> rhin0, the mechanical switch isn't working
[04:01] <rhin0> to manually disable your wireless completely from the machine -- (without ubuntu)
[04:01] <TrevInc> needwifi: I guess hard restart your machine and hold the BIOS setup button and then look through your switches to see if anything mentions wifi
[04:01] <rhin0> you broke the switch needwifi?
[04:01] <needwifi> rhin0, haha it just stays orange
[04:01] <josh__> You broke it!?!? Oh godz
[04:01] <morth> ActionParsnip will it let me use my files? ie- i want to play a game from my windows partiton will Wine let me? - i was going to just copy the folder over to Ubuntu.. :s
[04:01] <needwifi> trevinc, i'll try that an i'll be back
[04:01] <ActionParsnip> morth: you can also write data there too so you can save your goat porn/justin beiber MP3s/glee episodes to your windows files and use that space
[04:01] <TrevInc> needwifi, good luck
[04:01] <rhin0> on some laptops its a function key and the wilress symbol   *)))
[04:01] <needwifi> thank you
[04:02] <rhin0> to enable it needwifi
[04:02] <ActionParsnip> morth: games will not work, you will need to install them in wine
[04:02] <needwifi> rhin0, mine doesn't have the fn key combination, as far as i know, i'm going into the bios to check it out
[04:02] <morth> ActionParsnip sweet, because i have alot of goatporn.
[04:02] <hoopyfreud> oooh me too
[04:02] <Guest15850> hello~
[04:02] <hoopyfreud> it reminds me of my mother
[04:03] <morth> ActionParsnip well how can i install games with/to wine?
[04:03] <morth> ActionParsnip i can just use the folder we've created?
[04:03] <hoopyfreud> depends on your system
[04:04] <roasted__> Where sould Chromium's font preferences be stored at? The text in the tabs seem to be a little weird to me.
[04:05] <lapaga> Roasted, chrome://settings/fonts
[04:06] <needwifi_> i went into bios and restored everything to factory defaults and it's working now
[04:06] <needwifi_> thanks for the help
[04:11] <bsmith093> how do i make gwibber show tweets from people im following as notification bubbles, like everything else in gnome
[04:11] <ActionParsnip> morth: you will need to run the installer, then more the ~/.wine folder to the ntfs partition, the symlink the .wine folder so that it looks like it is stored in the original place but its merely a link
[04:14] <phlux> What is the program that lets you choose what ISP you're using for 3G/4G wifi cards? Is it just an Ubuntu thing, or can I use it on my Arch system?
[04:15] <ubun> can you connect a game controller to play the snes emulator? (zsnes)
[04:17] <ActionParsnip> ubun: sure
[04:17] <hoopyfreud> anyone happen to know where chrome extensions are stored in ubuntu?
[04:19] <ubun> ActionParsnip, any controller from walmart? or is there a specific brand thats supported?
[04:24] <pie_> I someow got my logitech webcam working with uvcdynctrl and cheese but i can only use  one or the other and after i do i have to reload the uvcvideo kernel module if i want to switch
[04:24] <pie_> I would like to be able to change the pan/tilt and view the video at the same time
[04:25] <madprops> whats the name of the volume slider applet?
[04:28] <^Mike> when I do `sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser`, it doesn't actually change the browser that opens when I click links in documents etc - what am I doing wrong?
[04:28] <CarlFK> how can I set the wallpaper with a script ?
[04:29] <BlackFlag> how to select text on console without a mouse?
[04:30] <Coded1> hello all
[04:31] <CarlFK> BlackFlag: looks like Edit/Select All is all you can do
[04:31] <pocoyo> BlackFlag: try emacs shell.
[04:33] <robin0800> CarlFK: look at crebs perhaps
[04:34] <BlackFlag> I am using console by tty1, and i am without "/" on keyboard, so i want to copy and past it
[04:35] <dominick> Hey there - I am getting very poor performance out of a network card I just installed and looking for help
[04:35] <morth> ActionParsnip i have got it working thank you, i just copied my Game folder into the folder we've created it booted up properly im running around ingame zero lag.
[04:36] <dominick> Is compatability an issue? I used Windows Wireless Drivers to install the Windows XP driver but it's still slow
[04:36] <dominick> Should I try Vista version or Windows 7? Thanks for your time.
[04:37] <morth> i would say use Win7 over vista anyday.
[04:37] <morth> but i mean thats my personal opinion
[04:37] <ChaosSaber> dominick, I have been useing Win7 since the beta days and I have never had a prob with it
[04:38] <dominick> Ok I'll try it
[04:38] <dominick> Thanks for the response
[04:38] <ChaosSaber> dominick, np
[04:38] <arooni-mobile> how do i change the keyboard shortcut for the workspace switcher on unity?  i've already gone to keyboard shortcuts but i dont see an option
[04:41] <escott> dominick, are you saying you are using ndis wrapper
[04:41] <dominick> yes escott
[04:42] <OerHeks> arooni-mobile, itś located in ccsm , unity tab
[04:44] <escott> dominick, i would expect lower performance with ndiswrapper, as it is not a native driver. i cant say how substantial that performance impact would be
[04:44] <arooni-mobile> OerHeks, thats only for the launcher.  id like to leave the launcher starter as it is
[04:44] <dominick> Is that right escott? Is there a better way to do this?
[04:45] <dominick> About to load up Win 7 driver .inf to see if any difference
[04:45] <kaw_> Hi there
[04:45] <dominick> hmmmm, it's say they're all the same
[04:45] <dominick> that's not good
[04:46] <escott> dominick, (a) according to wikipedia you cannot use anything but win xp .inf files (and maybe some vista) (b) see if your hardware is supported by a native driver/try different hardware
[04:46] <dominick> got it escott, will do
[04:46] <robin0800> dominick: are you sure there is no linux driver for your nic?
[04:47] <kaw_> Can someone tell me whats the difference between ubuntu AMD and i386
[04:47] <dominick> Unfortunately, there are only drivers for Windows XP, Vista and 7 on their site robin0800 :(
[04:47] <kaw_> i have an core i7 in this deskto
[04:47] <kaw_> and im using ubuntu AMD
[04:47] <coolpyrofreak> dominick: Which nic do you have?
[04:47] <escott> kaw_, amd64 is for 64bit processors like yours
[04:47] <cpruitt> I hate to ask what might be a completely annoying questions but can anyone point me to any really comprehensive info on Ubuntu disk quotas and how to identify a problem?  quotacheck -avugm is returning "quotacheck: Cannot find filesystem to check or filesystem not mounted with quota option."  - I'm still way too new to understand the problem, I just know it's preventing me from using a took I'm trying to set up for our web serve
[04:47] <cpruitt> (virtualmin)
[04:47] <cpruitt> It's a physical server, not a VPS
[04:47] <dominick> encore electronics enlwi-nx2
[04:47] <robin0800> dominick: what nic is it?
[04:48] <kouche_> hi there
[04:48] <coolpyrofreak> dominick: paste your lspci output please
[04:48] <dominick> Got it after reading a review from someone who said it worked with their linux system
[04:48] <kouche_> i have an inspiration 4600
[04:49] <dominick> what is lspci output coolpyrofreak?
[04:49] <Polah> kaw_: That's just the name of the ISO to designate 32 or 64-bit, 32-bit is i386, 64-bit is amd64.
[04:49] <dominick> sorry
[04:49] <kouche_> and wireless won't work
[04:49] <coolpyrofreak> dominick: Open your terminal and type lspci.  then copy the output, go to pastie.org and paste it there.  then post the link in here
[04:49] <escott> dominick, open a terminal and type "lspci" then copy and paste that into paste.ubuntu.com
[04:49] <dominick> ok cool
[04:49] <kouche_> I Used this manuall
[04:49] <kouche_> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#Installing%20b43%20drivers
[04:50] <kouche_> But nothing changed
[04:50] <pie_> http://senorgif.memebase.com/2011/06/22/funny-gifs-truck-service-fail/
[04:50] <pie_> oops wrong chan
[04:50] <kaw_> Polah: Thanks
[04:50] <kouche_> any idea?
[04:50] <kaw_> LOL
[04:51] <kaw_> i have the same problem im trying to install RT2870
[04:51] <dominick> http://paste.ubuntu.com/633998/
[04:51] <kaw_> poor support on USB adapters really
[04:51] <escott> cpruitt, don't know anything about quotas but check that the partition is mounted with the quotas turned on
[04:51] <kaw_> they should include it in the build
[04:52] <cpruitt> escott: Sounds great.  Any quick tip on how to do that?  LOL  Not trying to skip a google search but it's late and I've pressed the "search" button way too many times tonight...  lol
[04:52] <pappa_bear> lawl
[04:52] <escott> cpruitt, run "mount" in a terminal it will show mount options
[04:52] <escott> dominick, your network card is nforce2
[04:52] <kouche_> No one can help me?
[04:52] <dominick> that's one of the on board nics
[04:52] <escott> dominick, you also have a realtek 8190
[04:52] <cpruitt> escott: Pretty much just echos my fstab info: /dev/mapper/linhost01-root on / type xfs (rw,grpquota,usrquota)
[04:53] <dominick> there's a 3com too I believe
[04:53] <dominick> those are not wireless though
[04:53] <coolpyrofreak> dominick:   Wireless card is the Realtek 8190.  Wired is The 3Com card.
[04:53] <escott> dominick, yes there is a 3com
[04:53] <dominick> oh?
[04:54] <dominick> realtek 8190... I think that was one of those plug in usb wireless nic things that I don't currently have with me
[04:54] <coolpyrofreak> dominick: no, lspci lists motherboard hardware
[04:54] <dominick> wow no kidding coolpyrofreak
[04:55] <dominick> so what should I do from here?
[04:55] <dominick> I had no idea I had a wireless nic.. wtf
[04:55] <rhin0> anyone know a quick fix to somehow speed up ssh?
[04:55] <escott> kouche_, what does rfkill list outpu
[04:55] <ActionParsnip> dominick: sudo lshw -C network    will show the network hardware and you can websearch for the product line to find guides
[04:56] <ActionParsnip> dominick: if you want wireless to work you may find its just disabled by hotkey / switch
[04:56] <dominick> hmmmm wow
[04:57] <ActionParsnip> dominick: rfkill list   will show the devices and their states with bering 'blocked' by switches etc
[04:58] <dominick> okay ActionParsnip plugging those commands into terminal now
[04:58] <kouche_> escott
[04:58] <kouche_> 1: dell-wifi: Wireless LAN

[05:00] <escott> kouche_, thats the problem it is hard blocked meaning a hardware switch is turned off
[05:00] <escott> kouche_, sorry rather it is soft blocked
[05:00] <escott> kouche_, try rfkill unblock 1
[05:01] <escott> kouche_, or rfkill unblock all
[05:01] <escott> ChaosSaber, dual boot or use a vm
[05:01] <dominick> here's what i got actionparsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/634004/
[05:02] <ChaosSaber> escott, thanks, I dual with 7 but was just wondering
[05:02] <Nobgul-bnc> What does netflix use silverlight?
[05:02] <kla> Nobgul-bnc, yes
[05:02] <kouche_> escott I did it before
[05:02] <kouche_> but nothing
[05:03] <dominick> Any thoughts ActionParsnip? On http://paste.ubuntu.com/634004/
[05:05] <Polah> Nobgul-bnc, have you tried Moonlight? http://www.mono-project.com/Moonlight
[05:06] <Nobgul-bnc> Polah, I have not. I was just about to ask if there is a silverlight alt. but im stuffing my face. Thank you for th elink
[05:06] <ActionParsnip> dominick: so it's the 3com you want working?
[05:07] <dominick> it's the encore I'm currently using (as far as I know)
[05:07] <dominick> but is ridiculously slow
[05:07] <ActionParsnip> dominick: the wireless curently has an IP of <IP_ADDRESS>
[05:07] <dominick> I'd like to use whatever works ;-)
[05:08] <ActionParsnip> dominick: are you using the wifi now?
[05:08] <GridCube> does anyone here uses a 32bit ubuntu whit more than 4GB of ram? does the PAE mode work fine? im wondering about adding more ram to my machine but i don't want to move to a 64bit install
[05:08] <dominick> yes actually
[05:08] <dominick> but I am getting 14 k/sec download speed - oy
[05:08] <escott> GridCube, PAE should work fine, there are other advantages to 64bit beyond just ram though
[05:09] <canthus13> GridCube: No, I have 4GB ram.. but I get more usable ram with PAE than I do with the regular kernel.
[05:09] <ActionParsnip> dominick: is it a usb wireless or an adapter which is part of a system?
[05:09] <Nobgul-bnc> GridCube, i have 32 gigs f ram in my 32 bit server and it uses and sees it all
[05:09] <ActionParsnip> GridCube: 32bit + PAE can access 12Gb RAM
[05:09] <Polah> Out of curiosity, what is the limit on RAM with PAE enabled?
[05:10] <dominick> I'm trying to get the adapter to work
[05:10] <dominick> to work better that is
[05:10] <dominick> the usb wireless I'm trying to ween off ;)
[05:10] <ActionParsnip> sorry 64Gb limit
[05:10] <escott> Polah, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension
[05:10] <AlphaPsi> Hello I installed ubuntu, and I clicked on encrypt the homefolder
[05:10] <AlphaPsi> What does that mean?
[05:10] <dominick> because this adapter should be way faster, yes?
[05:10] <AlphaPsi> Hello I installed ubuntu, and I clicked on encrypt the homefolder. What does that mean?*
[05:11] <ActionParsnip> dominick: i see, the wired connections should be ok. the wireless hould be faster. Is there no native driver for it?
[05:11] <escott> AlphaPsi, without your password your home directory is encrypted (unreadable)
[05:11] <GridCube> Nobgul-bnc, really :D thats awesome
[05:11] <Polah> AlphaPsi: Your home folder will be encrypted and only accessible to your user account. You should've gotten a generated key to use in the event that you can't access your account.
[05:11] <ActionParsnip> AlphaPsi: if you take the drive out and put it in another system it wil be gibberish without your key to decode it
[05:11] <Nobgul-bnc> GridCube, yea we have another server with 64 gigs but i don't use that one much its not mine I just do upkeep on it. But it seems to run fine
[05:11] <dominick> I can download a Windows 2000, XP, Vista or 7 driver only ActionParsnip
[05:11] <AlphaPsi> I got the key and wwrote it down
[05:12] <ActionParsnip> dominick: there are often native drivers for wireless chips
[05:12] <AlphaPsi> how can I get rid of the encrpytion? Unless that's a bad idea
[05:12] <ActionParsnip> dominick: what is the output of:  lsusb
[05:12] <dominick> that would be great - one sec
[05:12] <GridCube> ok, thanks, i will buy the ram sticks then :D
[05:12] <escott> AlphaPsi, it can be disabled but its probably easier just to create a new user who is not encrypted
[05:12] <Polah> AlphaPsi: Being a bad idea would depend on whether or not your want your data in there encrypted and what kind of data you're storing.
[05:12] <kla> AlphaPsi, how bad it is only depends on your needs
[05:12] <Nobgul-bnc> AlphaPsi, not really a bad idea persay. If your doing bad things and want to try and hide it then yes encrypt otherwise meeh
[05:12] <dhruvasagar> I am unable to open the software sources. Synaptic -> Repositories, it tells me that things have change and I need to reload but even after reload it doesn't fix it. Reload gives me a GPG error
[05:13] <dominick> Here you go ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/634007/
[05:14] <AlphaPsi> Because I'm worried if I forget/lose the key and I need to access my data, is that a problem?
[05:14] <Nobgul-bnc> Yes it will be gone forever
[05:14] <Nobgul-bnc> Well unless your interested in crypto and cracking the encryption
[05:14] <ActionParsnip> dominick: strange its not listed, you sure it's usb based?
[05:15] <Nobgul-bnc> if you even can? its 1024 bit or something
[05:15] <Fudge> anyone running phpbb
[05:15] <dominick> the current one I'm using is not usb based
[05:15] <Nobgul-bnc> Fudge, got a few installs running. not very popular sites but yea.
[05:15] <dominick> the slow one - the encore - is an adapter
[05:15] <ActionParsnip> AlphaPsi: if you want to access your data from live CD or another distro you will need to decrypt the data first
[05:15] <AlphaPsi> So how do I get rid of the encrpytion? I think I'd prefer just encrypting certain files with a password I choose
[05:15] <ActionParsnip> dominick: what is the ful make and model of the device please
[05:16] <Fudge> Nobgul-bnc  mind if i pm u
[05:16] <ttiicc> Im a java developer who's been using debian for 2 years. Im switching to a new company right now and they are using ubuntu! I know that ubuntu is based on debian, but wonder how big the differences are? what would look new for me?
[05:16] <Nobgul-bnc> AlphaPsi, you may want to look into truecrypt.
[05:16] <Nobgul-bnc> fudge go for it
[05:16] <AlphaPsi> How do I get rid of the current encryption on my homefolder first though?
[05:16] <dominick> Encore Electronics Wireless N300 PCI Adapter - ENLWI-NX2
[05:17] <KM0201> what log would i look in to see why my machine shuts down when the screensaver comes on?
[05:17] <dominick> I WAS using: Rosewill RNX-G1W IEEE 802.11b/g Wireless USB adapter (I think that's what the Realtek is?) - Just trying to get the Encore to work.
[05:17] <escott> AlphaPsi, the easiest thing for you is to create a new user, copy what files you need over and then delete the encrypted user account. alternately you can copy the decrypted contents out to another folder, then logout (so that the ecryptfs fuse mount will be unmounted and copy the files back)
[05:17] <ActionParsnip> dominick: "PCI Adapter" ?
[05:18] <ActionParsnip> dominick: you said it was usb..
[05:18] <ttiicc> could anyone please answer my question
[05:18] <escott> AlphaPsi, the problem with the second approach is that some things will still think that the encrypted files should be mounted so that would require some cleanup...
[05:18] <ActionParsnip> ttiicc: for teh java development, not much at all
[05:18] <ActionParsnip> dominick: can you pastebin the output of:  lspci   thanks
[05:18] <dominick> sure
[05:18] <blackshirt> ttiicc: i think no big differences between them
[05:18] <KM0201> ttiicc: if you can use debian, you shouldn't have any issues adapting to Ubuntu.
[05:18] <ttiicc> ok thanks guys!
[05:18] <kouche_> anyone can help me with my wlan driver?
[05:18] <AlphaPsi> This user is completely new
[05:19] <AlphaPsi> So I don't have any files, since it's completely new
[05:19] <blackshirt> kouche_: what's the problem ?
[05:19] <MadGirl> hmmm... the problem is , after I installed unbuntu, when I click on the Windows 7 option, it won't boot into windows..
[05:19] <rypervenche> ttiicc: Pretty much the same. They screwed up some things in Ubuntu, but you should be fine. You'll miss Debian though :/
[05:19] <kouche_> i have inspirion 4600
[05:19] <AlphaPsi> So I don't have any files, since it's completely new. I can just create a new user with no encryption right? Can it have the same username?
[05:19] <dominick> ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/634012/
[05:20] <blackshirt> kouche_: what's your wifi chipsets ?
[05:20] <dominick> ActionParsnip: I am not using the 3com or the nvidia because they are not wireless.
[05:21] <dominick> They show up as disconnected in the Wifi icon on my top panel
[05:21] <kouche_> and i used this tutorial: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#Installing%20b43%20drivers
[05:21] <cvalero> hi
[05:21] <escott> AlphaPsi, if you have no data to save you might be able to get away with rm -rf /home/username/.ecryptfs and then recopying from /etc/skel into /home/username
[05:21] <kouche_> blackshirt BCM4311
[05:21] <cvalero> como estan por aca
[05:21] <cvalero> a que se dedican
[05:22] <wiesshund> Any reason not to update firefox to 5.0?  aside form ubuntu plugin seems to not be compat
[05:22] <escott> !es | cvalero
[05:22] <KM0201> kouche_: are you sure its a 4311?... and not that 4311-lpphy or something like that?
[05:22] <ttiicc> yes I liked that debian was rock stable and that things didn't change that mutch between releases!
[05:22] <KM0201> ttiicc: wait till you use unity..lol
[05:22] <AlphaPsi> escott: might get away with it, not 100% sure though, I'll just make a new user
[05:22] <Polah> wiesshund, Firefox 4.0 is no longer supported.
[05:22] <ttiicc> KM0201 is it buggy?
[05:23] <KM0201> ttiicc: it's a matter of opinion.
[05:23] <wiesshund> Polah,  i meant ff 5.0, ubuntu still comes packed with 3.x
[05:23] <ttiicc> KM0201: if it crashed then I would say it's buggy!
[05:23] <blackshirt> kouche_: i think you are right ...
[05:24] <ttiicc> how mutch work does it take to switch unity for gnome3 ?
[05:25] <ActionParsnip> dominick: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10411412
[05:25] <blackshirt> ttiicc: just remove it and install another
[05:25] <KM0201> ttiicc: gnome 3 is kind of a mess w/ ubuntu 11.04, i wouldn't do it.. wait till it's official for 11.10
[05:25] <Polah> wiesshund, 3.0 isn't supported by Firefox either. I haven't noticed the Ubuntu pack not working on 5.0, at least I've had no mention of it now working
[05:26] <ChaosSaber> MadGirl, what does it say when you click on windows on the boot menu? and is this dual boot with 2 drives or just 1?
[05:26] <MadGirl> i wish i knew, ChaosSaber
[05:26] <KM0201> blackshirt: if only it were really that simple... quite a few reports of bricked systems after removing gnome 3 ( i had the same issue)
[05:26] <ttiicc> Thanks for the gnome 3 with ubuntu information!
[05:26] <ttiicc> BBL
[05:27] <ChaosSaber> MadGirl, are you useing 2 diff drives for dual booting or just 1?
[05:27] <MadGirl> ChaosSaber: i don't know
[05:27] <ChaosSaber> MadGirl, who installed ubuntu?
[05:27] <MadGirl> no idea, ChaosSaber
[05:27] <kouche_> KM0201 http://paste.ubuntu.com/634014/ it is my network driver
[05:27] <kouche_> blackshirt what do you mean?
[05:28] <KM0201> kouche_: did you install the b43 driver?
[05:28] <blackshirt> KM0201: not too difficult, with internet connection and deep knowledge aboout APT system
[05:28] <ActionParsnip> ttiicc: there is a ppa for gnome 3 but gnome 3 is not stable in Ubuntu yet
[05:29] <KM0201> blackshirt: whatever you say...
[05:29] <dominick> ActionParsnip: any final thoughts?
[05:29] <dominick> just easier to get a new card?
[05:29] <KM0201> kouche_: which driver did you try, STA or b43?
[05:29] <dominick> or a whole new puter ;-)
[05:30] <blackshirt> KM0201: just a little jokes :d
[05:30] <kouche_> KM0201 yes, and look at this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/634017/
[05:31] <KM0201> kouche_: dunno, it's bedtime for me.. good luck w/ it.
[05:31] <ActionParsnip> dominick: for the sake of a wireless card, no way
[05:31] <KM0201> i'd suspect you didn't install the driver correctly, but that is strictly a guess.
[05:31] <ActionParsnip> dominick: how much RAM does the system have?
[05:31] <ChaosSaber> MadGirl, are you on ubuntu?
[05:31] <MadGirl> bugger all, i dunno, ChaosSaber
[05:31] <dominick> ActionParsnip: Currently 512 :[
[05:31] <dominick> sad really
[05:32] <ActionParsnip> dominick: thats enough for ubuntu :)
[05:32] <yuike> Hi, I am having an issue when reattaching a screen, the text wrapping is all crazy. I tried doing ctrl-a r, but it didn't help. this is what it looks like: http://d.pr/CIWu oh, almost forgot to mention, whatever I type doesn't visibly show at that point.
[05:32] <kouche_> KM0201 thank you
[05:32] <ActionParsnip> dominick: ive got systems with less
[05:32] <dominick> wow
[05:32] <ChaosSaber> MadGirl, ok let me see if I can get this right, you're on linux and now you're win 7 wont boot?
[05:32] <MadGirl> i wish i knew, ChaosSaber
[05:32] <dominick> ActionParsnip: Can you run the new interface?
[05:32] <dominick> Unity is it?
[05:33] <ChaosSaber> ok I am starting to think that MadGirl is a bot?
[05:33] <pat201> how can i tell if the architecture i have is i386 or AMD64?
[05:33] <Polah> pat201: uname -i
[05:34] <ActionParsnip> dominick: I use LXDE + Unity2D, works well
[05:34] <yuike> no one knows eh :\
[05:34] <knoppies> pat201, if that doesnt work, then do an apt-cache search (and pick some package, I should find one that states)
[05:34] <ActionParsnip> yuike: considering you only waited 100 seconds, I suggest you wait just a little longer
[05:34] <dominick> ActionParsnip: Is there a write up on how to do that? Have a link?
[05:34] <yuike> k
[05:35] <pat201> thank you good person
[05:35] <ActionParsnip> dominick: i simply installed Lubuntu, You can then install unity 2D from repos and make a startup item to kill lxpanel off, looks like regular unity but uses a fraction of the resources
[05:36] <linux> hello i was wondering if someone would be so kind as to help me. I'm pretty new to linux and would like to know how to view my usb hdd files from the home folder. Thanks
[05:36] <knoppies> pat201, sorry, apt-cache wont tell you, you could try: ls /var/cache/apt/archives
[05:36] <dominick> ActionParsnip: Sounds cool! I might try this. Maybe it'll solve some probs?
[05:37] <linux> anyone? lol
[05:38] <rhin0> whats up linux
[05:38] <blackshirt> yeah linux
[05:38] <dominick> ActionParsnip: Thanks for your time and good night
[05:38] <ChaosSaber> linux, you should have the drives on the side when you open your homefolder up
[05:38] <tripelb> how can i te;; how ;png since boot
[05:39] <linux> well for some reason my laptop hdd wont start up windows with all my files so i am using BT 4 live cd and i took out my hdd and put it in a usb/ converter hooked up and it can see my files on my friends laptop
[05:39] <linux> but i go to homefolder and cant see anything there
[05:39] <tripelb> how can i tell how long since boot?
[05:39] <linux> all i see is install.sh
[05:40] <caminomaster> hello
[05:41] <caminomaster> does anybody knows if theres any repo for Feisty?
[05:41] <Logan_> !feisty | caminomaster
[05:41] <linux> ok i think i see it in /dev/disk/by-id
[05:41] <tripelb> how can i tell how long since boot?
[05:42] <linux> but when i try to open it it ask what program i want to run it with
[05:42] <Polah> tripelb: uptime
[05:42] <ActionParsnip> dominick: unity is just a shell, its stil gnome underneath (if you use ubuntu)
[05:42] <tripelb> ty
[05:42] <Polah> tripelb: You'll get <current time> up <uptime>
[05:42] <caminomaster> !eol
[05:42] <ttiicc> exit
[05:42] <tripelb> uptime
[05:42] <Logan_> tripelb: Wrong window. ;)
[05:43] <Heinz_L_Maennche>  hello, when i use recordmydesktop and close a window while recording, later in the video it will still be open (desktop is not redrawn) how can i fix that?
[05:45] <tripelb> something seems wrong. it took 9 minutes to boot, and to stat xchat with 2 servers, -6 channels hre, 5 there.  (top showed xchat using 97%)
[05:45] <yuike> ActionParsnip: is there a ticket I can take to get in line? lol
[05:45] <wiesshund> hoping in 11.10 they get full compiz functionality back, so i can have the same desktop setup i have in 10.10. probably put 11.04 on the notebook though, since it uses netbook anyways
[05:46] <ActionParsnip> yuike: i dont attach / reattach screens so cannot help you dude, sorry. Maybe others can advise. If not then try a little later
[05:46] <ActionParsnip> wiesshund: how does it "use netbook"?
[05:46] <kla> tripelb, cpu thermal throttling, mismatched software/library versions are a few i can  think of
[05:47] <BlazedSensei> hello everyone
[05:47] <knoppies> yuike, what is your problem?
[05:47] <wiesshund> ActionParsnip,  ubuntu netbook edition (UNE)
[05:47] <ActionParsnip> hi BlazedSensei
[05:48] <Polah> wiesshund: There is no netbook edition after 10.10
[05:48] <BlazedSensei> does anyone know why it asks me what application i want to open a hdd with?
[05:48] <wiesshund> Polah,  did not say there was
[05:48] <Corey> yuike: ctrl a+ d, then screen -d -r
[05:48] <Corey> yuike: That'll force a resize.
[05:48] <ActionParsnip> wiesshund: Ive not seen a netbook edition iso for natty. Do you have a link?
[05:49] <BlazedSensei> should i mount it?
[05:49] <ActionParsnip> wiesshund: or do you mean unity?
[05:49] <yuike> Corey: oh cool, i'll try that now, thank you
[05:49] <Corey> yuike: The -d forces detatch from its old settings
[05:49] <wiesshund> ActionParsnip,  hmm maybe i typed that bad, was saying i'd just put 11.04 on the netbook. it already uses UNE  the unity works for that little screen
[05:49] <Polah> ActionParnsip: There isn't one, Canonical stopped with putting "edition" in the names, there's just 11.04 now, no specific editions for netbook and so on
[05:50] <tripelb> k;a, how can I check the thermal stuff? 2004 dell. 10,04 pretty vanilla (xcaat all that is running, just booted up after days. been noticing the slowdown_
[05:51] <knoppies> tripelb, when you say thermal stuff do you mean temperatures?
[05:51] <Logan_> !lm-sensors | tripelb
[05:51] <pat201> if i check MD5 and SHA1 have i completed an entire checksum check?
[05:51] <ChaosSaber> Logan_, does that monitor GPU also?
[05:52] <knoppies> pat201, there are others but those should be sufficient, yes.
[05:52] <Logan_> ChaosSaber: I'm not positive.
[05:52] <Corey> !ipmi
[05:52] <Corey> Hmm.
[05:52] <ActionParsnip> if you have the old netbook interface then maybe but 11.04 by default uses unity, not netbook interface
[05:52] <ChaosSaber> my cpu temp is ok but my GPU is what scares me
[05:53] <Logan_> ChaosSaber: Is it NVIDIA?
[05:53] <ChaosSaber> yeah but its got a dead internal fan
[05:53] <pat201> what are the other parameters i could check? and if so what programs could i use to check them?
[05:53] <Logan_> !info nvidia-tools | ChaosSaber
[05:53] <Joe123> anyone familiar with ch (a c interpreter)?
[05:53] <Logan_> ChaosSaber: Er, oops.
[05:53] <ChaosSaber> Logan_, I hotglued a fan to it lol
[05:54] <Logan_> ChaosSaber: Try nvidia-settings - it apparently gives you the GPU temps.
[05:54] <ChaosSaber> Logan_, thanks for that, it does
[05:54] <ChaosSaber> I never even thought to look
[05:55] <Logan_> ChaosSaber: cool :)
[05:57] <yuike> Corey: hmm that didn't seem to work, still not getting line breaks on reattach
[05:57] <BlazedSensei> does anyone know why it asks me what application i want to open a usb hdd?
[05:58] <stefan_> Hello, after a "successful" (the program told so) Remastering of my system, I cannot see an ISO file in /home/remastersys/remastersys. Onluy custom.iso.md5 with 0kb. What has happened? have pasted the remasterlog: http://paste.ubuntu.com/634025/
[05:58] <Corey> yuike: Works fine here, and on every machine I can easily touch; what's running within screen?
[05:59] <_cb> using ubuntu can I deploy a 'kiosk machine' that only runs firefox and only to a certain web site? If yes, how?
[05:59] <Corey> _cb: Sure, strip it way down.
[06:00] <_cb> even stripped down I would have to disable closing firefox, minimizing windows,etc,etc
[06:01] <Corey> _cb: But restricting firefox would be interesting.
[06:01] <Corey> _cb: I didn't say it'd be easy. :-)
[06:01] <tripelb> Logan_ knoppies or kla I installed it, answered yes.... got told this sudo sensors-detect ran it, found I dont have drivers. Looked at the web page for drivers, am baffled. STOP.
[06:01] <Corey> _cb: Could slap it onto its own vlan, and the only thing it's allowed to hit is a very restrictive squid proxy.
[06:01] <Logan_> _cb: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/kioskGnome
[06:01] <tripelb> dell dimension 4600
[06:02] <Corey> _cb: That being said, it's the sort of thing I'd probably outsource. :-)
[06:02] <Logan_> _cb: or: http://calvinsohk.blogspot.com/2011/05/making-ubuntu-1104-as-kiosk-using.html
[06:03] <Logan_> _cb: but that second one is for Chrome, if that matters
[06:04] <_cb> Logan thanks. That is what I may be looking for. Did something like that on XP/Windows. Browser does not matter I just prefer Ubuntu over XP/IE
[06:04] <Logan_> mmhm
[06:04] <Logan_> can't blame you
[06:05] <ChaosSaber> this is my 4th day runnin ubuntu and it seems to be alot better then windows
[06:06] <Funkmaster7> Is there an equivalent of CTRL-F  in Ubuntu for man pages or module documentation in terminal?
[06:06] <Funkmaster7> I need to search for a particular text.
[06:06] <Corey> Funkmaster7: /pattern
[06:07] <yuike> Corey: well my situation is I ssh into my ubuntu machine, then screen -d -r and my issue arises
[06:08] <Funkmaster7> Corey, for /patter do I need to do a regex or use keywords?
[06:08] <Corey> Funkmaster7: Play with it and see.
[06:08] <chaGu> ..

[06:15] <cpgo> I've moved my mysql data dir and changed the conf in /etc/mysql/my.cnf to reflect the new path (applied same ownership and permissions as the original dir). Now when I try to access phpmyadmin it gives me #2002 Cannot log in to the MySQL server
[06:17] <katzenklavier> Hey all.  I'm having some weird trouble.  I switched keyboards to a PS2 keyboard from a USB one I'd had that broke, and now my (USB) mouse refuses to work.
[06:17] <katzenklavier> Any idea what I can do to fix it?
[06:18] <cmaxwell> does it work in other usb ports?
[06:18] <katzenklavier> Let me check right now.
[06:18] <cmaxwell> ok
[06:20] <katzenklavier> It does not.  I did, however, get some exciting error mesages.  "unable to read config index 0 descriptor/start: -62"
[06:20] <cmaxwell> have you rebooted?
[06:20] <katzenklavier> I've not.
[06:21] <katzenklavier> This was a bit of a surprise - it worked fine before the keyboard switch.
[06:21] <katzenklavier> I'll go ahead and reboot.  brb
[06:21] <cmaxwell> ok
[06:24] <cmaxwell> hello again
[06:24] <katzenklavier> I hard-booted and it works like a champ now.  I think it may not have liked softbooting from Windows.
[06:24] <katzenklavier> Thank you so much for your kind help.
[06:24] <Shapeshiftr> I'm having installation issues with ubuntu 11.04. i loaded the iso onto a usb flash drive and when i try to install ubuntu onto my freshly wiped server, it just beeps and nothing happens.I'm literally at the install menu, and I hit enter on "Install Ubuntu on a Hard Disk." Anyone know?
[06:25] <cmaxwell> np, if you ever need help again come back and ill be happy
[06:25] <katzenklavier> thanks again :)
[06:25] <cmaxwell> shapeshiftr:you went to boot options and what?
[06:26] <Beta0x64> shapeshifter does the screen turn black?
[06:26] <Shapeshiftr> Nope
[06:26] <Shapeshiftr> I literally plugged in the flash drive
[06:26] <Shapeshiftr> turned on the computer
[06:26] <Shapeshiftr> The Install Ubuntu menu appeared, as normal.
[06:26] <Shapeshiftr> I scroll down to Install, and hit enter, and it just beeps and quickly flashes.
[06:27] <Al-Bawi> hi , the wine cannot install applications
[06:27] <sattu94> beginners
[06:27] <Shapeshiftr> It's like it can't recognize my HDD
[06:27] <Beta0x64> can you run the livecd?
[06:27] <cmaxwell> do you have any dvds
[06:27] <Shapeshiftr> The CD drive is broken, so I'm stuck with flash drives.
[06:28] <Beta0x64> but run it live
[06:28] <Shapeshiftr> it doesn't recognize the CD drive for some reason.
[06:28] <Shapeshiftr> Nah, running live on the USB doesn't work either.
[06:28] <Shapeshiftr> I'm memtesting right now.
[06:28] <Al-Bawi> anyone have experience with wine?
[06:29] <Al-Bawi> the wine cannot install exe applications , why  is that?

[06:30] <canthiswait> i'm using Ubuntu server 10.04, I'm able to use smbclient to mount //hotname/sharename but when I try that in fstab is tells me "couldn't resolve" address. how do I get fstab to recognize smb names?
[06:31] <ZykoticK9> canthiswait, can you "ping hostname" successfully?  You could use IP addresses instead.
[06:32] <canthiswait> ZykoticK9, I'm trying to avoid IP addresses since they are dynamic. smbclient //hostname works just fine but that same hostname in fstab says it couldn't resolve it.
[06:33] <stefan_> May I simply delete directories in /home/me:)/.cache especially tracker, Mendeley Ltd. and Chromium, or is this a bad Idea? Will those programs be able to remake those directories "out of the box" later?
[06:33] <wildbat> canthiswait: i don't think network is up while fstab is running
[06:33] <ZykoticK9> canthiswait, can you "ping hostname" successfully?
[06:33] <stefan_> (I want to share my nearly unpersonel Installation using remastersys)
[06:33] <canthiswait> no, they are windows machine names
[06:33] <stefan_> sorry: unpersonal
[06:34] <canthiswait> there is no way to to use those in fstab?
[06:34] <canthiswait> smbclient seems to deal with them fine
[06:35] <ZykoticK9> canthiswait, i think if you had DNS working for hostnames then you could, but if you can't ping by them, they aren't gonna work in fstab
[06:35] <MrBushido> is there some key combo to stop the unity bar auto hiding? i have it stuck on my screen atm :<
[06:36] <canthiswait> ZykoticK9, thanks, I'm guessing I'll have to assign static IPs on those machines
[06:36] <MrBushido> hmm, must be a bug. fix = drag an icon from desktop to bar and then remove it >.<

[06:49] <noisewaterphd> ubuntuguy, you use ssh mount
[06:49] <kikay> thanks Heinz and pksadiq
[06:49] <incidence> I have two public IP's, is it possible to set other IP as "default"?
[06:50] <Guest33972> But I'm running it on my old-ass laptop from '04.
[06:50] <noisewaterphd> so store your home folder in the cloud, and then sshmount on all the machines you want to use it
[06:50] <ActionParsnip> incidence: sure, look into the route command
[06:50] <incidence> Like when I connect with SSH to some box, I'd see hostname AAA.com, not BBB.com
[06:50] <Heinz_L_Maennche> pksadiq, too slow^^
[06:50] <noisewaterphd> ubuntuguy, here is the first hit on google http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/how-to-mount-a-remote-folder-using-ssh-on-ubuntu/

[06:51] <Guest33972> What are your thoughts on Unity?

[06:51] <incidence> ActionParsnip: What about route command in particular? Any pointers? But thanks, I'll look into it

[06:51] <karrot2> does anyone know a good way to get screen caps of a video using a command line command?  I've been googling for a while and I can't really find any good answers... I can't figure out the mplayer -vo command
[06:51] <wildgoose> !ot > Guest33972
[06:51] <noisewaterphd> karrot2: xuggle
[06:51] <ActionParsnip> incidence: you use the route command to specify the default gateway and the interface used to reach it
[06:51] <karrot2> noisewaterphd: thank you very much
[06:52] <muman613> \exit
[06:52] <noisewaterphd> karrot2: just google it, install it
[06:52] <muman613> \help
[06:52] <kf7nnz> Thanks ubottu I'll try that!
[06:52] <Heinz_L_Maennche> karrot2, recordmydesktop
[06:52] <noisewaterphd> karrot2: way cool program
[06:52] <karrot2> Heinz_L_Maennche: I don't want to capture my screen, I want to get preview pictures for a movie
[06:52] <incidence> ActionParsnip: Thanks
[06:52] <wildgoose> muman613,  /exit /help
[06:52] <Heinz_L_Maennche> ah...ok
[06:52] <ActionParsnip> karrot2: also xvidcap
[06:52] <Heinz_L_Maennche> my mistake^^
[06:52] <bcalab> exit
[06:53] <noisewaterphd> recordmydesktop is really crap compared to xuggle
[06:53] <karrot2> noisewaterphd: I don't think this is quite what I wanted
[06:53] <karrot2> ActionParsnip: I will try that
[06:53] <karrot2> ActionParsnip: this looks like what I've been searching for THANK YOU!
[06:54] <noisewaterphd> karrot2: it does exactly what you asked for?
[06:54] <green_> i'M RUNNING UBUNTU 10.04 AND AM HAVING TROUBLE WITH COMPIZ ANIMATIONS CAN ANY ONE GIVE ME A HAND?
[06:54] <pksadiq> !cpas
[06:54] <green_> sorry for the caps
[06:54] <Heinz_L_Maennche> noisewaterphd, can u record the desktop with xuggle?
[06:54] <noisewaterphd> karrot2: but whatever, ya if xvidcap speaks to you, then give it a shot
[06:54] <pksadiq> my mistake too :)
[06:54] <noisewaterphd> karrot2: absolutley
[06:55] <ActionParsnip> green_: what video chip do you use?
[06:55] <green_> intel onboard
[06:55] <noisewaterphd> karrot2: but with all of its coolness and flexibility comes a bit more complexity, xvidcap may be a lot quicker to set up if that is your only requirement
[06:56] <ActionParsnip> green_: can you pastebin the output of: sudo lshw -C display; lsb_release -a; xrandr      Thanks
[06:56] <karrot2> noisewaterphd: yea, I just need simple funcationality... don't feel like learning a whole new thing
[06:56] <green_> sure can
[06:56] <karrot2> noisewaterphd: although it looks like that could be useful for capturing netflix movies...
[06:57] <karrot2> wait xvidcap is not what I want either, this is my problem with googling it too... I can't figure out the wording for what I am trying to do.  I want something to take a .avi file and every 5 minutes take a screencapture

[07:01] <souji> hi i am trying to install ubuntu but its stopping in middle and saying that instalation cd-rom cannot be mounted  i m new in linux plz help i searched all forum but i was not able to fix it
[07:01] <babu__> recommandable irc client atleast

[07:03] <ActionParsnip> totem: compiz can be quite light, the intel chip green_ has is just a pain and too touchy with timings, causing freezing
[07:03] <yertalert> when did I use cpas, pksadiq?
[07:03] <noisewaterphd> green_: I've got a killer graphics card, and I didn't get any animations to work when trying out Unity, which I hated anyway
[07:04] <noisewaterphd> green_: maybe in 11.10
[07:04] <ActionParsnip> souji: are you using a CD or a USB device to install?
[07:04] <yertalert> caps*
[07:04] <firstIRCtest> I have a machine (the one I'm on) on which I have ubuntu 8.04 on one partition...this has been there for some time. I just installed ubuntu 11.04 on a new partition, and I have no sound on that partition. Any help? I figure that having one partition working ought to be of some use.
[07:04] <pksadiq> yertalert: I mean from the img url, :) sorry
[07:04] <green_> this was with 10.04 and 10.10 on this pc before
[07:04] <yertalert> sorry, from another network thats more lax on displaying a link related to the topic
[07:04] <wildgoose> souji, Try burning the disk at the lowest speed you can.
[07:04] <firstIRCtest> It's my first time on IRC, hence the username.
[07:04] <ActionParsnip> firstIRCtest: can you give the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh; chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh; ./alsa-info.sh      Thanks
[07:05] <souji> ActionParsnip: noo
[07:05] <ActionParsnip> souji: then what are you using?
[07:05] <noisewaterphd> firstIRCtest: install alsamixer and then check that everything is unmuted and such
[07:05] <susundberg> Or pavucontrol
[07:05] <souji> wildgoose: i installed on one system it went perfect
[07:05] <souji> ActionParsnip: dvdrom
[07:06] <ActionParsnip> souji: ok did you check the disk for defects when it starts to boot? Have you tested your RAM?
[07:06] <bronaugh> so question. why would the keyboard  stop working after logging in to KDE in X11?
[07:06] <noisewaterphd> firstIRCtest: the few times I've had no sound with an ubuntu install, alsamixer was the only remedy. must be certain audio hardware
[07:06] <firstIRCtest> ActionParsnip, the link is http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=1c16d487065668a0a3f93ce804b5c41397cc2a60
[07:06] <bronaugh> ubuntu 8.04
[07:06] <bronaugh> and I haven't touched the install at all.
[07:07] <ActionParsnip> bronaugh: hardy desktop support has ended
[07:07] <firstIRCtest> Okay...lots of comments. Thanks. Let me try to catch up.
[07:07] <souji> no
[07:07] <souji> ok
[07:07] <ActionParsnip> firstIRCtest: are you using a desktop OS?
[07:07] <green_> I guess this is just a weird thing on some installs
[07:07] <souji> ActionParsnip: no i will check right now
[07:07] <bronaugh> ActionParsnip: so has your mom's sex drive.
[07:07] <ActionParsnip> bronaugh: hardly appropriate
[07:08] <bronaugh> *shrug* and care, why?
[07:08] <bronaugh> I don't have anything to lose.
[07:08] <ActionParsnip> bronaugh: I suggest you upgrade to Lucid for support. Hardy is ONLY supported on the server
[07:08] <bronaugh> ActionParsnip: I suggest you try running modern Ubuntu and KDE4 on a machine with 256MB RAM
[07:08] <chalcedony> Lucid is nice after hardy
[07:08] <morth> what do you guys use for IRC?
[07:09] <bronaugh> oh, hey chalcedony - fancy seeing you here.
[07:09] <chalcedony> bronaugh, hi *hugs*
[07:09] <ActionParsnip> bronaugh: try using NOT Gnome, there are more desktops than just gnome and kde
[07:09] <noisewaterphd> morth: xchat, konversation
[07:09] <chalcedony> indeed
[07:09] <firstIRCtest> ActionParsnip, I am logged into the 8.04 partition. Yes, it's a desktop. I think I initially installed xubuntu, then added ubuntu-desktop.
[07:09] <ActionParsnip> bronaugh: you could run fluxbox on 256Mb and it would run amazingly
[07:09] <bronaugh> ActionParsnip: I'm quite aware of that. having used most of them.
[07:09] <chalcedony> morth #xchat
[07:09] <totem> bronaugh: join #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:09] <ActionParsnip> firstIRCtest: Hardy desktop is no longer supported
[07:09] <morth> xchat seems pretty common hmm
[07:10] <chalcedony> there are reasons for that
[07:10] <souji> ActionParsnip: its giving the same error cant mount cdrom
[07:10] <ActionParsnip> bronaugh: so you CAN run the latest Ubuntu releases on 256Mb RAM. 256Mb RAM is the minimum requirement
[07:10] <firstIRCtest> I know. I put 11.04 on the new partition. I'm going to blow this away when I get sound on the new partition. Hence, the question. I have sound working here.
[07:10] <ActionParsnip> souji: sounds like a bad burn or dodgey optical drive
[07:10] <firstIRCtest> Sorry, the las post was at ActionParsnip.
[07:10] <fuga> bronaugh: from #linuxhelp undernet ?
