[13:22] <Dr_willis> ubuntu-guy,  you edit the /etc/default/grub and replace the 'quiet splash' with 'text' (or  'text noquiet nosplash nofb'
[13:23] <bazhang> broc93, kiosk you mean?
[13:23] <Dr_willis> ubuntu-guy,  then rerun update-grub
[13:23] <broc93> anyway, I want to be able to edit the environment; for example, can I add an application at startup on guest mode?
[13:23] <broc93> bazhang: well, on Xubuntu there is already a "guest" option in the login interface, don't know it it's "kiosk" :D
[13:23] <kalim0j0> dr_willis : yes -t iso9660 worked fine
[13:23] <broc93> if*
[13:24] <kalim0j0> how do i unrar a .rar file
[13:24] <bazhang> broc93, or did you mean a thin client type set up
[13:24] <ubuntu-guy> Dr_willis, I was replaced 'quiet splash' with 'text' but no luck... OK let's try 'text noquiet nosplash nofb'
[13:24] <jrib> kalim0j0: double click on it
[13:24] <alisunjaya> hello??ada orang
[13:24] <tensorpudding> kiosk mode isn't quite the same thing
[13:25] <broc93> bazhang: sorry, but I haven't understood. After installing Xubuntu on those machines, I could log in as "admin" (my account) or as a guest.
[13:25] <bazhang> !id | alisunjaya
[13:25] <tensorpudding> with that, you can't log in, log out, or touch the filesystem at all, it just runs a single program to my understanding
[13:25] <broc93> bazhang: but I want to add a startup program to that "guest mode"
[13:25] <mobhero> bazhang -_: we have already acquainted with that document but no luck.
[13:26] <bazhang> mobhero, you are running a cluster then?
[13:26] <mobhero> bazhnag:-: no
[13:27] <mobhero> just we install nis then getting this error,
[13:27] <bazhang> mobhero, that error seems associated with a cluster
[13:27] <broc93> knock knock, anybody there?
[13:27] <mobhero> but we dont have any cluser bazhang
[13:27] <bazhang> broc93, yes? you wish a thin client?
[13:27] <Dr_willis> ubuntu-guy,  text normally works for me.
[13:28] <Dr_willis> broc93,  i recall seeing some info about the guest user - on the askubuntu.com site. how its used  has changed in recent releases.
[13:29] <Dr_willis> broc93,  there are also system wide 'autostart' features for the Desktops. or per-user auto start features.
[13:29] <zenon> I love you ubottu! =D
[13:29] <mobhero> bazhang ???
[13:30] <bazhang> zenon, lets keep chit chat to #ubuntu-offtopic please
[13:30] <Wex__> @ftw
[13:30] <ajnabicancer> almoxarife:
[13:30] <broc93> Dr_willis: where can I find  those "autostart" features?
[13:30] <Dr_willis> ubuntu-guy,  you are rerunning 'sudo update-grub' after making the changes?
[13:30] <Dr_willis> !autostart
[13:30] <sharpspear> is there any way i can safely remove everything that has to do with java so i know i get a fresh installation next time i do it?
[13:30] <Dr_willis> broc93,  in recent releases the guest user gets a clean /etc/skel on each new login
[13:31] <Dr_willis> broc93,  you may want to check the info at askubuntu.com - i only skimmed it a few weeks ago.
[13:31] <broc93> Dr_willis: yeah, I've done that but I get that program at startup only when I log in with my account, not with the guest one
[13:31] <alisunjaya> dr willis
[13:31] <ubuntu-guy> Dr_willis, Do you get command mode login prompt and startx ? Text works for me too but still i get lightdm GUI  to login
[13:31] <mobhero> bazhang byee..
[13:31] <broc93> ok, I'll look there
[13:31] <ubuntu-guy> Yeah i run update-grub
[13:32] <salmiak> how do I do to have two versions of an application installed at the same time? if I for example want to keep my current version of VLC and not change that, but want to testrun VLC 2.0 anyway?
[13:32] <Somelauw> Whenever I run computer janitor, it generates a new list of packages that should be removed.
[13:32] <ikonia> salmiak: that depends on how the person who packaged it built the package
[13:32] <cancer> almoxarife:
[13:33] <ikonia> salmiak: normally you'd have to find a dev package that didn't conflict with libraries or binary locations already on the system
[13:33] <Somelauw> Also, can I deinstall multiple at once, by doing something like sudo apt-get purge thing-*?
[13:33] <bazhang> cancer, there is no need to keep targeting a single person, ask the channel you r issue
[13:33] <ubuntu-guy> Dr_willis, It should be like     username:         password:         then username@host:startx       does it work for you please?
[13:33] <salmiak> ikonia: aha... so I can't download their normal for-users-.deb, but have to get a special version?
[13:34] <broc93> Dr_willis: is this one? http://askubuntu.com/questions/9515/how-do-i-change-the-guest-session-defaults
[13:35] <ikonia> salmiak pretty much, or it's locations will conflict with what is already on your system/overwrite it
[13:35] <Somelauw> computer janitor is gonna deinstall anything if it keeps generating a new list
[13:36] <ubuntu-guy> broc93, Perhaps try to disable Guest session or?
[13:36] <ubuntu-guy> *ing
[13:37] <Dr_willis> broc93,  all i did was skim the site for someone and gave them a few urls. i dont use the feature.
[13:37] <alisunjaya> ikonia?
[13:37] <Dr_willis> Somelauw,  you mean 'uninstall everything' ?
[13:37] <broc93> ubuntu-guy: why should I disable it? I need it, but I just want to load a program (firefox) at startup, and add an icon to the desktop, if possible
[13:38] <Somelauw> Dr_willis: Oh finally it stopped. It keeped on generating a new list. After about 7 lists, it finally showed an empty list. Maybe this time it is going to work.
[13:38] <Dr_willis> broc93,  in the /etc/skel directory you would add/make the proper directories/shortcuts then.
[13:38] <ubuntu-guy> broc93, Sorry i was thought that you want to disable it.....
[13:38] <ikonia> alisunjaya: what ? why are you saying my name
[13:38] <ciao> cizo
[13:38] <ikonia> alisunjaya: stop saying random peoples names, you have been asked to stop
[13:38] <salmiak> so any normal way to install two normal versions of an application is by install some sort of virtual machine, and run one of them in that??
[13:38] <Dr_willis> broc93,  each time a guest user starts up. they get a clean tempary home thats a copy of that /etc/skel directory i belive
[13:39] <alisunjaya> tak apa2 ora iso//..
[13:39] <theadmin> salmiak: Yeah I guess... But you don't really have to worry about VLC, 2.0 is great
[13:39] <ikonia> alisunjaya: what language do you speak ?
[13:39] <bonhoeffer> any way to have files in list mode in gnome
[13:39] <bazhang> !id | alisunjaya
[13:39] <cancer_> almoxarife:
[13:39] <bazhang> cancer_, stop that
[13:40] <cancer_> bazhang: ok
[13:40] <bazhang> cancer_, stop targeting a single user; ask the channel you r issue
[13:40] <broc93> Dr_willis: yes, it's also written in the answer. Anyway I don't need to add files to the guest home (that would be easy), but I need to add a startup program. How can I do that?
[13:40] <alisunjaya> speak russian
[13:40] <alisunjaya> hahaha
[13:40] <alisunjaya> you
[13:40] <theadmin> !ru | alisunjaya
[13:40] <bazhang> !ru | alisunjaya
[13:40] <ubuntu-guy> Dr_willis, Hope you would not mind telling me if text(Username+password+startx) Login works for you.
[13:40] <geirha> broc93: Untested, but might work: sudo mkdir -p /etc/guest-session/skel/.config/autostart && sudo cp /usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop /etc/guest-session/skel/.config/autostart/
[13:40] <ciao> lista
[13:41] <broc93> geirha: ok, I might try that later :)
[13:41] <Dr_willis> broc93,  the  auto started apps are ran from the autostart dir. similer to what geirha  said.
[13:41] <alisunjaya> kontolkk
[13:41] <Somelauw> Okay, it still says I have broken packages, even though computer janitor cleaned almost anything.
[13:41] <bazhang> alisunjaya, ubuntu support question?
[13:41] <Dr_willis> broc93,  any NEWLY made users would get a clone of /etc/skel also which may not be what you want. if geirha is correct that would be only for the guest user.
[13:41] <theadmin> Somelauw: Why not just do a clean install?
[13:42] <die7> any exp with ubuntu on mac mac mini here with iso amd63+mac
[13:42] <die7> *amd64
[13:42] <Somelauw> theadmin: Maybe I should.
[13:42] <broc93> well, Dr_willis I don't need to add other users. Those computer should work as an "internet point", or sort of.
[13:42] <ikonia> I've run it many times without issue
[13:42] <emir> I scaned google.com for 32 bit addresses and now my internet is gone for a moment
[13:42] <ikonia> die7: I've run it with the mac mini core solo version and the current generation without issue
[13:43] <die7> ikonia: mid 2007 core 2 duo
[13:43] <almoxarife> !info xchat
[13:43] <geirha> broc93, Dr_willis: It's based on jo-erlend's answer in the askubuntu link broc93 pasted earlier
[13:43] <ikonia> die7: I'd say that's quite acceptable to use based on my experiences,
[13:44] <die7> ikonia: i have running linux min on it just wish to try efi thing
[13:44] <broc93> ok. geirha, Dr_willis thank you both. I'll try it later ;)
[13:44] <Dr_willis> broc93,  there also seems to be a  /etc/xdg/autostart that would be for ALL users all the time. :) which could be annoying..or very handy.
[13:44] <ciao> addon
[13:44] <theadmin> die7: Mint is not supported in this channel.
[13:44] <die7> ikonia: i see there is a amd64+mac iso
[13:44] <die7> theadmin: roger
[13:44] <ikonia> die7 I would just use the amd version
[13:44] <ikonia> die7: the mac one in my experience is aimed at the macbook pros with the touch pads etc
[13:45] <die7> ikonia: yeeah but bootiny in legacy mode and mbr caused boot time over 1 :30 min
[13:46] <Somelauw> Would I avoid these problems if I had a rolling release distro?
[13:46] <die7> ikonia: also low perfomance with sata since no ihc mode
[13:46] <broc93> geirha: and what about an icon in the desktop?
[13:47] <Oer> Somelauw, i think a rolling release does not fic broken packages, removing ppa's and sudo apt-get install -f does
[13:47] <die7> ikonia: you use gpt with reffit or mbr (msdos) hdd table
[13:47] <geirha> broc93: Put the firefox.desktop file in Desktop/ as well
[13:47] <Somelauw> I'll try sudo apt-get install -f, whatever that means.
[13:48] <Oer> Somelauw, -f = fix
[13:48] <Somelauw> I already tried computer janitor, but I will try that as well.
[13:48] <broc93> geirha: ok, perfect. I thought it was different :D
[13:49] <luigi_> #ubuntu.it
[13:49] <ubuntu-guy> Dr_willis, I should get kicked for my simple fault... Thanks!!!
[13:50] <ikonia> die7: I changed the disk to ms dos partitions as I was only running ubuntu on it
[13:51] <die7> ikonia: and boot time ? my need over 20 sec to switch to legacy mode even if I blees a disk
[13:51] <ikonia> die7: sorry what ?
[13:52] <Dr_willis> ubuntu-guy,  what fault? :)
[13:52] <Ady> can someone tell me how to get into my c dyrectory? pls
[13:52] <Dr_willis> Ady,   you mean your installed windows drive?
[13:52] <bazhang> Ady, no such thing in ubuntu
[13:52] <Dr_willis> Ady,  or what are you refering to?
[13:52] <die7> ikonia: on the start it need 20 sec to swicht to legacy mode (bios emulation) and then start to boot
[13:52] <ubuntu-guy> Dr_willis, The fault is "#"
[13:52] <Dr_willis> ubuntu-guy,  you had somthing commented out? :)
[13:52] <ikonia> die7 I never saw it taking 20 seconds before it even started to boot
[13:53] <Ady> i mean some c:/ ... or sompthink
[13:53] <cancer> almoxarife /msg
[13:53] <Dr_willis> Ady,  windows uses c: nameing schemes for their disks.. so again.. you are wanting to access your pre-existing windows drives?
[13:53] <ubuntu-guy> Dr_willis, yeah and i did not see it for 24 hours(Perhaps i was blind and asked here too many questions)
[13:53] <Ady> Dr_willis, yes
[13:54] <Dr_willis> Ady,  use the file maanger. it should show up in thelist on the left hand side.
[13:54] <Dr_willis> Ady,  or mount it where you want.
[13:54] <Dr_willis> !windows
[13:54] <die7> ikonia: that's my examp so i wish to try ubuntu with efi support
[13:54] <auronandace> Ady: see what is under /media/
[13:54] <Dr_willis> !ntfs
[13:54] <ikonia> die7 ok, try it
[13:55] <Dr_willis> actually it should be a big icon in the unity left side launcher also shouldentit?
[13:55] <die7> ikonia: tnx bro will see if there some improvement will blog it
[13:56] <die7> ikonia: how long your is your boot time or switch to boot process
[13:56] <zenon> thank you all for info.
[13:57] <ikonia> die7 I don't have a mac mini running ubuntu at the moment, but the core solo one was pretty much an instantanious boot with approx - 10, 15 seconds from start of boot to desktop,
[13:57] <ikonia> die7: although I don't see boot time as a massive factor, I don't feel it's an important factor in a static device, the difference between 10 seconds and 15 seconds wait for boot when you are going to use it for 2 hours seems a pointless chase
[13:59] <die7> ikonia: woow nice time , sure your point is correct in may case is just wish to try efi
[14:00] <ikonia> die7 1.) efi is not a performance booster, its a flexability enchancment 2.) you're chasing a pointless ghost, if boot time is important to you tune the OS post install or by an SSD, best of luck
[14:01] <die7> ikonia: yepp correct ssd is next step, thx and out
[14:04] <JuJuBee> I have some videos I took with a helmet cam (GoPro Hero2) and they are mp4. What is a good program to convert them for facebook?

[14:14] <grobda24> bazhang, tried those. They don't do the menu's properly
[14:14] <zane> MonkeyDust: could it be permissions related?
[14:14] <auronandace> !dvd | grobda24
[14:14] <MonkeyDust> Ady  i'm not familiar with cmus
[14:14] <MonkeyDust> zane  "
[14:14] <bazhang> grobda24, what do you mean properly. they work 100% fine here
[14:15] <grobda24> auronandace, thanks, already done all that
[14:15] <zane> MonkeyDust: " ???
[14:15] <Ady> i need to tipe in mysql path i think
[14:15] <grobda24> bazhang, that's interesting. So you have all menu options and perfectly looping background video ?
[14:15] <Ady> MonkeyDust, how to find rote to mysql files?
[14:15] <MonkeyDust> zane  i'm not familiar with cmus
[14:15] <bazhang> grobda24, correct
[14:16] <grobda24> bazhang, what versions are you using ?
[14:16] <bazhang> grobda24, whatver version is current on 11.04
[14:16] <theadmin> grobda24: DVD menus work fine for me with VLC 2.0 (not in the official repos yet, watch out for that!)
[14:16] <grobda24> bazhang, that's oneiric ?
[14:17] <theadmin> grobda24: 11.04 is natty
[14:17] <bazhang> grobda24, I have no 3d effects going on here, if that is an issue.
[14:18] <theadmin> grobda24: Hm, actually, DVD menus work fine in older versions of VLC too (not sure about any other players)
[14:20] <pyboy> hello
[14:20] <grobda24> theadmin, ah, could be that my cpu is too slow on this machine
[14:20]  * grobda24 goes to try playing on his quadcore super dooper machine
[14:20] <theadmin> grobda24: I don't see how that'd affect it actually.

[14:28] <Ignisss> Guys ive got a clean ubuntu 10.04lts install on a pc with a mainboard with the ck804 audio chip but ive got no audio at all, ive followed this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting but it still doesnt work, anyone has any idea? Ive also made a post here https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/188890 in wich the results of aplay -l and lspci are posted
[14:28] <MindSpark> anyone?
[14:29] <MindSpark> I am not getting any battery applet in the panel
[14:29] <theadmin> auronandace: Wrong factoid... 3G isn't exactly a regular modem xD
[14:29] <Somelauw> Well, sudo apt-get install -f does nothing.
[14:29] <theadmin> Zeratul: You might need usb_modeswitch. Actually, first go to the Mobile Broadband tab of networkmanager and try creating a connection
[14:29] <auronandace> theadmin: one of those usb modems then?
[14:29] <theadmin> auronandace: Yeah those things
[14:29] <Zeratul> not the problem and connects it does not recognize the modem in network manager
[14:29] <Somelauw> I'm gonna reboot and try again. I don't do a clean install because I think that takes even more time.
[14:30] <Dr_willis> clean install = 20 min here perhaps...
[14:30] <Dr_willis> less time then what you have been spending in here.
[14:30] <Dr_willis> :)
[14:30] <epistax> I moved my PC from one part of the room to another, and now X doesn't work! Compiz segfaults on startup (dmesg). I get the Ubuntu loading screen, and login screen. Then I get an error about not being able to apply the stored configuration for monitors. xrandr reports "Can't open display". The only thing I can think that could have changed is the port my monitor is plugged in to, so I tried switching and rebooting to no avail. Any id
[14:30] <phaidros> ehlo, just to be sure: with disc encryption I need at least an unencrypted /boot, right?
[14:30] <Zeratul> not use kde but gnome
[14:31] <Dr_willis> epistax,  could be you knocked a card loose also.
[14:31] <epistax> Dr_willis: Good point, I will check that. My terminal sessions are working over the monitor though.
[14:32] <Dr_willis> also ive seen pc's need to have the moniotr plugged in/powered on when the system boots.. but that may been a quirky box i had.
[14:32] <Zeratul> already created the connection but it does not recognize the modem but if I install the modem in the usb it recognizes no problem
[14:33] <epistax> Dr_willis: Everything is locked and loaded

[14:35] <totospider> hello
[14:35] <blink> do you guys do linux help?
[14:35] <ikonia> totospider: hi
[14:35] <ikonia> totospider: please see the private messages from the user ubottu
[14:35] <ikonia> blink: ubuntu support, yes
[14:35] <blink> hurray
[14:35] <totospider> addon
[14:36] <blink> i am having a lot of trouble with a particular machine
[14:36] <Zeratul> then someone with some idea of how to operate
[14:36] <totospider> !addon
[14:36] <ikonia> totospider: stop
[14:36] <ikonia> totospider: READ the messages ubottu has sent you in the private message window
[14:36] <totospider> lista
[14:36] <blink> so. i have just installed ubuntu minimal, but it won't boot, and i don't know where to start troubleshooting
[14:37] <Zeratul> it was for me?
[14:37] <ikonia> blink: why have you done a minimial install if you have no idea how to setup it up and trouble shoot it?
[14:37] <ikonia> blink: why not just do a desktop install ?
[14:37] <epistax> How do I tell X to rediscover attached monitors?
[14:38] <blink> i don't want a desktop environment.
[14:38] <ikonia> blink: then remove the desktop environment
[14:38] <ikonia> blink: or disable it
[14:38] <blink> so, i am able to mount /dev/sda1 (this is where i installed the root of hte filesystem)
[14:39] <ikonia> blink: great, now what ?
[14:39] <blink> it seems to be there.
[14:39] <blink> i have also tried reinstalling grub
[14:39] <auronandace> !lamp | Ady
[14:39] <ikonia> blink: no, there are "things" on the file system
[14:39] <ikonia> blink: doesn't mean you've installed what you need
[14:39] <ikonia> blink: just use a desktop install and remove/disable X/gnome/whatever you want
[14:40] <blink> i have successfully installed the minimal iso in the past
[14:40] <Zeratul> then something about how to install the modem
[14:40] <ikonia> blink: ok, then you should have no problems
[14:40] <blink> can we get past my motivation and intent and address the problem?
[14:40] <Somelauw> Nope, it still gives the same error message.
[14:41] <Somelauw> I think I have no other option than downloading an iso of the newest ubuntu.
[14:41] <Somelauw> I think that is ubuntu 11.10.
[14:41] <ActionParsnip> Somelauw: 11.10 is the latest stable
[14:42] <Somelauw> Or I can go for 12.4 so I don't have to update in 2 months.
[14:42] <f0xxxx> i have a problem on an alienware m18x ubuntu 11.10
[14:42] <Zeratul> my ubuntu 10.10. amd64  not recognize the modem gobi 2000
[14:42] <f0xxxx> if i remove the charger and hook it back in the computer refuses to charge
[14:42] <auronandace> Somelauw: i'd wait till its released
[14:42] <f0xxxx> i have to shut i down and start it again
[14:42] <epistax> It's probably not helping my issue that my monitor is VGA...
[14:42] <f0xxxx> and it's a linux issue because on windows works
[14:43] <ikonia> f0xxxx: what makes think it's not charging ?
[14:43] <theadmin> Need a reboot, brb.
[14:44] <f0xxxx> after i remove the charger and connect it back
[14:44] <f0xxxx> it says on battery applet
[14:44] <f0xxxx> on battery
[14:44] <f0xxxx> and discharging
[14:44] <FloodBot1> f0xxxx: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:44] <f0xxxx> and if i wait till it all consumed the laptop shuts down
[14:44] <Zeratul> If I install another modem so that it recognizes the usb and connects no problem but not the own the lenovo T410 model 2225
[14:44] <ikonia> f0xxxx ok, that may be a bug, have you actually waited and see if the battery does drain ?
[14:45] <bawlawl> hi everyone, I want to install Ubuntu on a USB stick, but I'm wondering if it will work consistently across multiple systems (right now when I start up a live environment on my system it just werks on a lot of PC's)
[14:46] <f0xxxx> battery is fine
[14:46] <ActionParsnip> Zeratul: is it detected in an Oneiric liveCD (Maveric is EOL in April)
[14:46] <f0xxxx> i also orderd a new charger because i thought theres something wrong with it
[14:46] <f0xxxx> but on windows works it's a linux issue
[14:46] <ikonia> f0xxxx sorry, I meant if you unplug/repluig and sit and wait, does the laptop actually run out of power
[14:46] <f0xxxx> ikonia, yes
[14:47] <ikonia> f0xxxx: ok, then I think you'll need to log a bug on launchpad as it will be a hardware bug against your laptop's power managent/apci functionality
[14:47] <Zeratul> but do not want to install another version to version 10:10 Love fast but simple and very customizable
[14:48] <ActionParsnip> Zeratul: tried Xubuntu?
[14:48] <bawlawl> !usb
[14:48] <bawlawl> !to_usb
[14:49] <bawlawl> !not_from_usb_just_to_please
[14:49] <ikonia> bawlawl: please stop
[14:49] <Somelauw> I give up trying to update this.
[14:49] <ikonia> bawlawl: if you don't know how to use the bot, don't. Just ask
[14:49] <Somelauw> It just can't be done if it doesn't give more descriptive error messages.
[14:49] <JDiogoR> using ubuntu and choose when start "session xubuntu" is the same thing that using xubuntu??
[14:49] <bawlawl> ikonia: But I did, I'm sorry I've tried searching on wiki but it only covers installation from USB stick.
[14:50] <ikonia> bawlawl: ok then don't just hit the bot with random words
[14:50] <MindSpark> can someone tell me what to do to get the battery indicator running again?
[14:50] <MindSpark> I reinstalled indicator-power, nothing happened
[14:50] <ActionParsnip> JDiogoR: essentially, yes
[14:50] <yeats> JDiogoR: yes, essentially
[14:50] <yeats> heh
[14:50] <JDiogoR> thanks ;)
[14:50] <Zeratul> damn expensive to install another version so because the modem and something to think about because it was not able to run the modem if necessary with another version so I will not move anymore.
[14:50] <bawlawl> ikonia: all right, but could you please direct me towards a helpful resource which I can read?
[14:50] <ikonia> bawlawl: about what ?
[14:51] <yeats> JDiogoR: it won't be exactly the same as it would be if you installed xubuntu from scratch because it has all the standard GNOME programs installed
[14:51] <bawlawl> ikonia: I want to install Ubuntu on a USB stick, but I don't know if it will work across PC's (compatibly), because as of now when I start up the live environment it all just werks.
[14:51] <bazhang> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent bawlawl this is "to usb"
[14:51] <bawlawl> *live environment from USB stick
[14:51] <Somelauw> Or maybe i should report this as a bug.
[14:52] <ikonia> bawlawl if your PC's all have non-propritary linux supported hardware only, then it will work fine
[14:52] <DkrTremos> morning
[14:52] <bawlawl> thanks bazhang
[14:52] <ikonia> bawlawl: if your PC has any deviation from that, then it will need configuring for each host at some level
[14:52] <Zeratul> I have not downloaded the normal version of ubuntu even the 64 version and I will not so wonderful all running the modem
[14:52] <bazhang> bawlawl, that persistent, not live
[14:52] <bawlawl> bazhang: exactly what I need :)
[14:53] <manoj> how can i use web cam for chat
[14:53] <manoj> which software support webcam
[14:53] <Dr_willis> !im
[14:53] <Dr_willis> mandje,  what is the person you are wanting to chat to using?
[14:53] <bawlawl> ikonia: though that's what I'm wondering, wouldn't the install have to be configured across different hardware architectures? I know that the liveCD just autodetects and autoconfigures the environment
[14:54] <bawlawl> but I have no idea how it will be once it's installed :|
[14:54] <manoj> i instaled both but i cant use wecam there is no icon showing for web cma on \
[14:54] <bazhang> manoj, using which chat service
[14:54] <ikonia> bawlawl if the hardware has no propritary devices and has full linux supported devices, you will have no issues as the kernel is modular, if you have anything outside that, you will have to configure for that host
[14:55] <manoj> i am using msn and yahoo
[14:55] <manoj> now installed empathy but ther is no intication for webcam
[14:56] <Zeratul> a modem and my output? some driver work?
[14:57] <bawlawl> ikonia: sadly the amounts proprietary devices (such as GPU's) are vast across a lot of PC's, but still Ubuntu detected my nVidia GTX 260m and showed without any problem (it even offered me drivers), but that was the live environment, so you're saying I should configure on anything else (for example if the PC has an ATi card instead of an nVidia)?
[14:58] <ikonia> bawlawl in that situation I think you'll have a lot of problems
[14:58] <Dr_willis> bawlawl,  you are using a live-usb across differnt pcs? or a full install to a usb across differnt pcs?
[14:58] <Somelauw> Could this be a problem? http://paste.pocoo.org/show/557000 If yes, then how to solve it?
[14:58] <bawlawl> Dr_willis: as of now I have used live-usb, but thinking about using a full install for persistence purposes
[14:59] <epistax> How to a completely kill X so it doesn't just respawn? I'm trying to run X -configure but I can't get X to stay dead
[15:00] <Dr_willis> bawlawl,  using a full install and changfeing pc's/video hardware can be problmatic. I move a usb from an nvidia to an ati box. often. basically i just use the GPL ati drivers because  and keep the nvidia one installed. I sometimes need to move/rename the nvidia or ati sprcific xorg.conf for them to work totally correct
[15:00] <Dr_willis> bawlawl,  using a live-usb+persistant file can be even more hassles.
[15:00] <bawlawl> epistax: have you tried going into a runlevel which doesn't have X?
[15:00] <Dr_willis> epistax,  sudo service lightdm stop
[15:00] <Dr_willis> ubuntu dosent really use runlevles like other disrtos do
[15:00] <theadmin> bawlawl: Ubuntu doesn't have runlevels
[15:01] <Dr_willis> I thought X -configure was depreciated also.
[15:01] <bawlawl> oh
[15:01] <Dr_willis> !fixres
[15:01] <epistax> Dr_willis: Thanks. Everything I found was telling me to stop gdm, which was not the right answer.
[15:01] <Dr_willis> epistax,  it would be for the older reelases.
[15:01] <theadmin> epistax: gdm was used up to Oneiric
[15:02] <Dr_willis> gdm-> gdm2 -> lightdm  :)
[15:02] <bawlawl> why doesn't Ubuntu have runlevels actually?
[15:02] <Dr_willis> !runlevels
[15:02] <theadmin> bawlawl: Upstart
[15:02] <epistax> Thanks guys. configure failed anyway. I'll try your link. I'm trying to convince X that my VGA monitor supports 1280x1024.
[15:02] <bawlawl> hmm I see
[15:02] <bawlawl> thanks
[15:02] <Dr_willis> epistax,  there used to be a xmode generator web site - i used years and years ago. :)
[15:04] <tyler-riddle> how can i enable my headphones on ubuntu? the speakers work fine, but my headphones don't. i am using 11.10 64 bit
[15:05] <epistax> Arg this is so annoying. I want it to just revert all monitor settings to default. Every time I start X it tells me about all the resolutions it tried and failed to set. Odd resolutions with odd refresh rates (52 Hz!)
[15:05] <codebanshee> tyler-riddle: are your headphones plugged into a different output socket? If so, you may need to change the Connector setting under Output in Sound Preferences
[15:06] <djskidd> Hi all
[15:06] <djskidd> I need help syncing Ubuntu with my phone
[15:06] <epistax> Thanks X. I was curious if my monitor supported 680x384@55Hz. Now I can rest easy with the reminder that no, it does not, every time I boot up.
[15:07] <djskidd> My phone is a KIN TWOm, and I'd like to be able to sync over my music.
[15:08] <djskidd> It's Zube-based, if that makes a difference.
[15:08] <djskidd> *Zune
[15:09] <djskidd> Anyone?
[15:10] <pyboy> djskidd i dont know try ubuntu one i think its only for smartphones
[15:11] <djskidd> As in the smartphone app UBuntu One?
[15:11] <djskidd> The KIN doesn
[15:11] <djskidd> t
[15:11] <djskidd> hace an appstore
[15:11] <djskidd> if I can type
[15:11] <jan_> hello
[15:11] <djskidd> hi jan_
[15:12] <jan_> hi
[15:12] <djskidd> hi
[15:14] <epistax> I tried adding a Monitor section to xorg to tell X that the monitor supports 1280x1024, but that doesn't seem to have an effect
[15:14] <Amoz> epistax, afaik you should be able to just remove Xorg.conf
[15:15] <Amoz> epistax, and it will "autoconf" it ootb
[15:15] <epistax> Amoz: It's a VGA monitor that doesn't report what it can and can't too..
[15:15] <epistax> do..
[15:15] <Amoz> epistax, ah, so you can
[15:15] <epistax> Auto configuration gives me a fuzzy 1024x768
[15:16] <jocker69> hi all
[15:16] <Amoz> *you can't see it in the display config? the graphical utility?
[15:17] <epistax> Amoz: I can "see" it. It's reported as an Unknown monitor with two valid resolutions: 1024x768 and 800x600
[15:20] <salmiak> where can I find VLC 2.0 for ubuntu10.04 ? I can't find any ppa that have it
[15:21] <Dr_willis> salmiak,  the webupd8 site had guides on nstalling it in ubuntu -  i dont use 10.04 so no idea on anythign else
[15:22] <salmiak> ok I go see that www.webupd8.org webpage
[15:25]  * tommylommykins waves
[15:25] <epistax> No ideas on what the "new" way is to force a resolution? The stuff I'm finding through google is about editing xorg.conf

[15:25] <tommylommykins> should I run an in place upgrade to get 12.04,
[15:25]  * ikonia wishes tommylommykins would ask a question rather than doing /me commands or emoted
[15:25] <tommylommykins> or install it anew?
[15:25] <ikonia> tommylommykins 12.04 is not released yet
[15:25] <tommylommykins> Are there stability issues witht he in place upgrade?
[15:25] <tommylommykins> bah
[15:25] <tommylommykins> 11.10
[15:25] <ikonia> tommylommykins: it's due for release in month 4 - it's currently month 2
[15:25] <tommylommykins> Freudian slip
[15:25] <FloodBot1> tommylommykins: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:25] <tommylommykins> :P
[15:26] <ikonia> !upgrade > tommylommykins
[15:26] <ikonia> tommylommykins: ubottu has just sent you a private mesage detailing how to upgrade
[15:27]  * tommylommykins is aware of the process.
[15:27] <ssta> tommylommykins: my experience with in place upgrades of ubuntu has always been "just reinstalling si easier and more reliable".  Other people may have different experiences.  Clean install should always work well though
[15:27] <tommylommykins> I want to know how stable it is
[15:27] <Dr_willis> i alwyas do clean installs. :) makes life easier.. but also keeps me at whats normal 'defaults' for tech support help in here.
[15:27] <ssta> tommylommykins: it's not released yet, it's not all that stable
[15:27] <tommylommykins> Reinstalling is usually easier?
[15:27] <ikonia> tommylommykins: it's been out for a long time, it's a stable release.
[15:27] <ssta> tommylommykins: imo, yes
[15:27] <Dr_willis> reinstalling is often much easier/faster for me.
[15:27] <tommylommykins> ok :)
[15:27] <tommylommykins> oh
[15:28] <tommylommykins> Does FGLRX work with 11.10
[15:28] <Dr_willis> got my /home/ on its own hard drive. got a list/script to reinstall packages i normally want.. takes me about 30 min to do a clean reinstall
[15:28]  * tommylommykins remembers that was the reason why he didn't upgrade back in october
[15:28] <ikonia> tommylommykins: depends on your model of video card and the drivers versions it needs to be supported, you'll need to do research on that
[15:28] <Dr_willis> tommylommykins,  it can. and it depends on the exact hardware.
[15:28] <tommylommykins> ok
[15:28] <Dr_willis> gnome-shell has issues here with my One ATI machine.
[15:28] <Dr_willis> unity works.

[15:29] <tommylommykins> :(
[15:29] <Dr_willis> it all depends on your card i imagibne
[15:29]  * ikonia wishes tommylommykins would stop doing emotes/me commands

[15:30] <starn> hello, i need assistance with fixing my sound.. i just got a new machine.. and when i plug my headphones sound still comes from the speakers. i am not used to this sound device it's fancyer than my old one. my old one was IDT HD audio i believe this one is Realtek i think..
[15:30] <Dr_willis> some irc clients colorize /me actions differntly
[15:30] <Voyack> Hello all :)
[15:31] <starn> Dr_willis: i see everything in green or blue.. or light green. than again i use irssi...
[15:31] <ssta> Dr_willis: oh.  Probably some of them there gui clients I've heard tell about :)
[15:31] <Dr_willis> irssi can do colors. :) as can weechat
[15:31] <Voyack> Is here any channel especially for tech support, cause i have problem, and i googled it, but there is no answer :(
[15:31] <tommylommykins> OK, thanks for the help, I shall disappear on your behalf :)
[15:32] <theadmin> Voyack: This is the one.
[15:32] <theadmin> Voyack: #ubuntu-offtopic is for general discussions
[15:32] <Dr_willis> starn,  i see variations of that question all the time in here. Not sure there is a definitive 'fix' it may be hardware spefific. You could check the askubuntu.com site and the forums to see if they have some guides  or work arounds.
[15:32] <Voyack> oh, great. So, i will try to be as fluent as possible. I was googling all my problems, but i can't deal with this one.
[15:33] <theadmin> Voyack: Just state the problem and we'll try to help :)
[15:33] <Dr_willis> seen where headphones do or do not switch over. seen where the speakers dont switch back.  seen variants with usb speakers/headphones..
[15:33] <Voyack> i have Ubuntu 11.04. I run without Unity, cause i don't like it. But compiz effects aren't working. All my windows are snapping to right upper corner, and i cannot deal with it.
[15:34] <Dr_willis> Voyack,  so what desktop are you using?
[15:34] <Voyack> Classic
[15:35] <Dr_willis> if you alt-click on a window and drag it back down, does it move down?
[15:35] <bazhang> Voyack, ccsm installed?
[15:35] <starn> i've googled everywhere Dr_willis   to be honest with my old machine i wanted it to play music from speakers and VoIP software such as teamspeak 3 play over headphones.. my old hardware couldn't do it in linux.. considering how this new hardware is functioning playing audio on both i assume this hardware can do it. also in sound options i see analog headphones and speakers.. but i can't figure out how to force stuff to play on a single one.. it just appears t
[15:35] <Voyack> Dr_willis - nope.
[15:35] <Voyack> bazhang - i'm not sure.
[15:35] <epistax> Oh good, ubuntu just swapped which port on the graphics card corresponded to the first monitor. I was worried that things were going to get boring.
[15:35] <bazhang> Voyack, compizconfig-settings-manager is the package
[15:35] <Dr_willis> starn,  ive never had to fight with the problem. :) ive just seen it asked in here about once a day it seems.
[15:36] <Dr_willis> starn,  the new sound cards all seem to do the switching of ports in differnt ways. that can cause issues.
[15:36] <robin0800> Voyack: are you sure you have compiz working?
[15:36] <Voyack> yes i do
[15:36] <bazhang> robin0800, he said they were not working
[15:36] <Voyack> i have compiz fuzion icon and stuff.
[15:36] <Dr_willis> Voyack,  so you see a title bar and window borders?
[15:37] <Voyack> yup
[15:37] <xaxes> hey all .. Im searching for a way to get python2.4 for ubuntu natty on a ARM .. any suggestions? I added http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/ maverick / lucid, but no python2.4.. when did it leave?
[15:37] <bazhang> Voyack, check in ccsm on window move plugin
[15:37] <Voyack> but i can't move the window. It's like fixed
[15:37] <Dr_willis> sounds like a compiz plugin to me also..
[15:37] <Dr_willis> disable compiz perhaps, try moveing them. restart compiz. see if they move back perhaps.
[15:37] <robin0800> Voyack: in classic compiz is broken it needs a hack to work
[15:38] <Voyack> robin0800 - so what do i have to do?
[15:38] <marius1> can any1 help me install my ATI driver on 11.04 ??
[15:38] <bazhang> robin0800, which is what?
[15:38] <Voyack> i was restarting compiz, and no effect
[15:38] <bazhang> Voyack, and you checked the appropriate plugin in ccsm?
[15:38] <epistax> Well maybe someone can help with this. When i boot up, there's about a 50/50 chance that Ubuntu will decide my one and only monitor is the left monitor or the right monitor. When it decides that it's the right monitor, I have no ability to start any programs in X because I have no access to anything but the right click context menu. Any suggestions?
[15:38] <Dr_willis> marius1,  tried the 'jockey-gtk' app yet? (called 'addational drivers' in the menus)
[15:39] <robin0800> Voyack: to check can you edit panels by holding alt?
[15:39] <Dr_willis> epistax,  whats your video chipset?
[15:39] <Ignisss> Guys ive got a clean ubuntu 10.04lts install on a pc with a mainboard with the ck804 audio chip but ive got no audio at all, ive followed this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting but it still doesnt work, anyone has any idea?

[15:39] <Voyack> mmkay guys, now it's working kinda better.
[15:39] <crfripper> where do I find pulseaudio? it says it's installed in ubuntu software center but I Can't find it
[15:39] <Dr_willis> epistax,  try running the nvidia-settings tool and  see if you can set which monitor is the primary, and turn off the other.
[15:40] <Dr_willis> crfripper,  theres pulse audio tools that have icons. but not pulseaudio itself.
[15:40] <marius1> Dr_willis: yes i have already installed that one..but it doesnt work, i feel it, even a video on youtube is lagging
[15:40] <bazhang> crfripper, to configure it? such as pavucontrol and the like?
[15:40] <rymate1234> hey
[15:40] <epistax> Dr_willis: I'd love to but I don't know how to spawn anything from just the right hand monitor :). Also it looks like it doesn't work from non-x session
[15:40] <Dr_willis> marius1,  sounds like its not using the nvidia drivers then. does nvidia-settings run?  this is a desktop? laptop? not one of those weird new laptops wth the dual gpus is it?
[15:41] <crfripper> ahh I see, well I'm trying to set up a sound server to get 2 windows computers to share 1 set of speakers
[15:41] <crfripper> using ubuntu in virtual box
[15:41] <marius1> Dr_willis: it's a laptop and i have ATI Radeon
[15:41] <Dr_willis> epistax,  go to the console and try restarting the X server
[15:41] <rymate1234> is there a way to resize my partitions without reinstalling?
[15:41] <Voyack> one more question - when i got to choose window menager which should i use? i have Compiz, metacity, and Kwin
[15:41] <Voyack> and GTK and Emerald as window decorators
[15:41] <bazhang> rymate1234, to do what exactly
[15:42] <Dr_willis> marius1,  i had to use some guide on askubuntu.com to get my only ati box to use the newer ati drivers. even then. gnome-shell dosent work.
[15:42] <Voyack> should i use Compiz and Emerald to have these effects working?
[15:42] <rymate1234> i want to resize my /home and shrink my wid
[15:42] <rymate1234> *windows
[15:42] <marius1> Dr_willis: so what to do?
[15:42] <Dr_willis> Voyack,  emerald is basically dead. so use gtk window decor. and compiz.
[15:42] <bazhang> rymate1234, via gparted live cd? is that what you mean?
[15:42] <rymate1234> yea
[15:42] <rymate1234> oh waits
[15:43] <Dr_willis> marius1,  you could hit up askubuntu.com and see if the guide helps you.
[15:43] <rymate1234> i'll use that thx
[15:43] <crfripper> just got the PulseAudio Volume Control
[15:43] <marius1> Dr_willis: ok i will do that
[15:43] <Dr_willis> marius1,  it walked through making .deb packages of the newer drivers.
[15:43] <Dr_willis> crfripper,  so what are you expecting to find?
[15:43] <Dr_willis> theres other pav* tools you can install for more tweaking of pulse audio

[15:45] <Dr_willis> knubbze-,  not that i have ever seen
[15:45] <crfripper> looking for a tool for settuing up a sound server
[15:45] <knubbze-> trying to get rid of gnome
[15:45] <Dr_willis> CowaRd,  each on its own hard drive - works very well
[15:45] <Dr_willis> !puregnome
[15:45] <Dr_willis> !purekde
[15:45] <Dr_willis> Those guides MAY be out of date.
[15:46] <bazhang> knubbze-, why not start with the minimal iso and build up
[15:46] <knubbze-> no I actually
[15:46] <knubbze-> bazhang: because that involves a lot of work; I have already worked my way down the dpkg -l
[15:46] <ubuntu-guy> Dr_willis, For long time i am trying to remove Ubuntu default plymout Background(Boot logo) in order to setup my own custom Background... Any hints please?
[15:46] <knubbze-> and started removing all sorts of packages
[15:46] <Dr_willis> its easier to install stuff with apt  then it is to remove.
[15:46] <Dr_willis> ubuntu-guy,  i just disable plymouth.
[15:46] <CowaRd> Dr_willis: I got only one, is on a laptop... and I need windows only for couple of stuffs, my main OS will be Ubuntu
[15:47] <Dr_willis> CowaRd,  you can run ubuntu from a external usb/flash drive.  or you repartion your HD and let grub handle it.
[15:47] <Dr_willis> CowaRd,  install windows first to the first part of the HD. leave rest unallocated. let ubuntu installer partion unallocated space as needed
[15:48] <elsoja> how can i ajust the mouse speed in a touchpad?
[15:48] <elsoja> i already have put the sensitivity and acceleration at the maximum
[15:48] <ubuntu-guy> Dr_willis, I chroot the iso ... So i can disable the plymouth permanently ?
[15:48] <elsoja> but i want it even more fast
[15:48] <CowaRd> great Dr_willis Thanks... coz when I tried to inst win7 after ubuntu, it mucked up my boot. :) thanks
[15:50] <crfripper> think I found a good guide on techytalk
[15:50] <zhuang> How would I go about having gtk/qt themes, through lxappearance or gtk-dhtheme, in a wmfs only session?
[15:50] <epistax> Man this is all so confusing. I don't know what the relationship is between the resolution list given my nvidia, the resolution list available under Displays, and the resolution list given by xrandr. They are all different.
[15:51] <Voyack> Yay, it's me back :)
[15:51] <Voyack> this right - corner snapping appears only when i switch to compiz
[15:52] <Voyack> there is no problem with KDE
[15:52] <Voyack> i want to kill myself
[15:52] <knubbze-> well
[15:52] <knubbze-> alternatively is there a way to
[15:52] <knubbze-> get the list of packages that a debootstrap *would* install?
[15:53] <knubbze-> I can then make a delta of these two lists and remove the remainig set
[15:53] <okum> anybody know if i can make my panel in ubuntu 11.10 look like this? file:///home/tyler/Downloads/2-mcubuntu.jpg
[15:53] <crfripper> "paprefs" was what I was looking for
[15:54] <epistax> I'm punting. I can't figure out what I'm supposed to do. Apparently xorg.conf doesn't matter anymore, so nothing I can actually configure matters. Why Ubuntu won't let me just set the resolution and try it I have no idea. Why I have a different resolution list in three different places is confusing me.
[15:54] <Dr_willis> ubuntu-guy,  i dont remaster isos so no idea.
[15:54] <Dr_willis> ubuntu-guy,  the nosplash kernel option turns it off.
[15:54] <Kyshtynbai> Hi everyone. I've gota laptop with ubuntu 10.04 Gnome 2, and I'd like to use laptop display and an external one. How do I do this? It would be great to have one of the virtual desktops on the external monitor.
[15:55] <salmiak> is it too early to get a 2.0 version of VLC for ubuntu10.04 ?
[15:55] <ubuntu-guy> Dr_willis, You mean /etc/grub/grub.conf or other location ?
[15:55] <Dr_willis> Kyshtynbai,  virtual desktops dont work that way. You can have a 'wide' desktop if you wanted
[15:55] <Dr_willis> ubuntu-guy,  the live cd uses syslinux for its bootloader i belive.
[15:55] <Dr_willis> ubuntu-guy,  an installed system would use grub
[15:55] <Kyshtynbai> Dr_willis: I see, thanks.
[15:55] <zhuang> Hello everyone, when I load up my tiling manager wm, I do so through wmfs. How can I have a gtk/qt theme when I do so? Would I install a DE in the wmfs-only session?
[15:56] <escott> epistax, nvidia doesn't follow the full xrandr protocol so that may be a source of confusion. you just have to follow what is in their tools
[15:56] <Dr_willis> !info wmfs
[15:56] <ssta> Kyshtynbai: you can do it, but you'd have to use a different xorg.conf for each VT.  It's not a trivial thing to get right
[15:56] <ubuntu-guy> Dr_willis, i see , will try it soon
[15:56] <okum> can anybody assist me in making my panel in ubuntu 11.10 look like this? http://cdn.unixmen.com/wp-content/uploads/stories/ubuntu/mcbuntu/2-mcubuntu.jpg
[15:56] <epistax> escott: Even nvidia doesn't list the resolution that my monitor supports. It goes above it and below it, but no 1280x1024
[15:56] <Kyshtynbai> ssta: I also thought about modifying xorg, but this is tough for me for now).
[15:57] <epistax> xrandr list is much larger than what Ubuntu will actually allow me to set as well
[15:57] <ssta> Kyshtynbai: then don't bother.  It's difficult
[15:57] <Dr_willis> Kyshtynbai,  that would make a sepetate X session for Exch monitor. not exactly what you asked for. ;0
[15:57] <okum> is there a global menu for ubuntu 11.10?
[15:57] <Kyshtynbai> Dr_willis: does it mean to x servers running?
[15:57] <Kyshtynbai> *two
[15:57] <Dr_willis> I tend to just fullscreen an app. and drag it over/make it sticky on the 2nd monitor.
[15:58] <epistax> and compiz still segfaults on start up. I don't know if I should care or not.
[15:58] <Dr_willis> Kyshtynbai,  you would have 2 X sessions, 2 desktops and so forth - on on each moniotr. You could even set up a 2nd mouse/keyboard to have a 2 user box. :) with a single machine.
[15:58] <Kyshtynbai> Oh, that could be handy
[15:58] <Dr_willis> Kyshtynbai,  but thats not what you asked how to do. :)
[15:58] <Dr_willis> !multiseat
[15:58] <Dr_willis> No factoid on that yet. :(
[15:59] <crfripper> I keep getting failed to download check your internet connection in ubuntu software center even though I can surf just fine
[15:59] <epistax> Ubuntu refuses any refresh rate other than 50 Hz. Lucky for my it's configurable in my monitor on screen settings
[16:00] <epistax> You'd think there'd be a single file somewhere that I could say that the monitor accepts 1280x1024 @ 60 Hz
[16:00] <marius1> i need help with ati radeon driver, to install it to work properly!
[16:01] <ActionParsnip> epistax: what GPU do you use?
[16:01] <ActionParsnip> Dr_willis: http://www2.userful.com/products/userful-multiseat-linux
[16:01] <ichbinder> hello. When the playback of an MP3 starts, it "lags" once or twice, like a little skip... happens with VLC and Amarok. Also happens for avi files in VLC. I have that problem since a few months and a "solution" I found online was to delete some hidden folder in home. Then, it didn't skip anymore for a few files. But after a while, it started again. So I decided to ignore the skipping... but it's getting to annoying now. Anybody an
[16:01] <ichbinder> idea what to do? Already searched a bit but couldn't really find anything.
[16:01] <epistax> ActionParsnip: It's a.. large.. nvidia. 8800 GTS
[16:02] <mece> !list
[16:02] <epistax> In windows I'm running skyrim with half the bells and whistles at 1280x1024..
[16:02] <ichbinder> ah, also happens if I pause a song and continue
[16:02] <skyball> just installed Ubuntu. Screen is Flashing Purple. I believe it is a configuration issiue?
[16:02] <skyball> what can i do?
[16:03] <marius1> my ati radeon driver doesnt work properly, any help?
[16:03] <ActionParsnip> epistax: if you run:  sudo nvidia-xconfig; gksudo nvidia-settings    you can set the reslution and refresh rate, you can then run:   gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf    and SET the refresh rate in that file
[16:03] <ActionParsnip> skyball: what is you log into the Unity2D session?
[16:04] <ansul> i need help to build a cross compiler from c to mips
[16:04] <ansul> where shld i go
[16:04] <ansul> please give me the channel name... :/
[16:04] <skyball> can not sdo any thing with srean flashing!!
[16:04] <skyball> do*
[16:04] <ActionParsnip> skyball: log off, does it happen on the login screen
[16:05] <skyball> can not log in
[16:05] <skyball> gos to flashing
[16:05] <skyball> right after boot
[16:05] <ActionParsnip> skyball: press CTRL+ALT+T and run:  killall -u $USER
[16:05] <epistax> ActionParsnip: I'll try this out. What I've been hearing so far today is that xorg.conf isn't used any more. I'll give it a shot.
[16:06] <ActionParsnip> epistax: it IS used, ubuntu uses udev now but if the xorg.conf file exists, it will be used
[16:06] <skyball> ActionParsnip thanks i will try
[16:06] <ichbinder> ah, and I think it helped to delete pulseaudio or so... but like I said, only for one or two playbacks, then the lagging is back
[16:06] <ichbinder> i mean the hidden pulseaudio folder in home

[16:08] <shaagz> ok
[16:08] <shaagz> hi theadmin
[16:09] <theadmin> Hello shaagz
[16:09] <shaagz> hey m newbee to irc chats
[16:09] <ikonia> shaagz: Hi there, this channel is for ubuntu support discussion only, if you feel you have a question you need help with this is the place you ask
[16:10] <ikonia> shaagz: if you want to just chat about "stuff" try the channel #defocus
[16:10] <ActionParsnip> or #ubuntu-offtopic
[16:11] <greenit> hi, is there a way to show the creation-date of a file in the terminal?
[16:11] <ikonia> greenit: you see if it you do ls -la (or the last edit date)
[16:11] <danyel> ls -a
[16:11] <greenit> thx
[16:11] <linux> ajuda com a instalaçao de driver da placa de video S3 onboard
[16:11] <danyel> ls -la my bad
[16:11] <linux> no linux
[16:12] <ikonia> !es | linux
[16:12] <linux> foda se all
[16:12] <linux> se nao foi mal
[16:12] <theadmin> You don't have to do "a", it gets hidden files in and that's annoying
[16:12] <epistax> ActionParsnip: I don't see any effect. I'm restarting X by using "sudo service lightdm restart" (which is new to me). I added a subsection Display to the Screen section and added the new resolution I want. There are no other resolutions anywhere in the file.
[16:12] <okum> hello, i tried to do a autoreconf command, and got a msg saying configure.ac or configure.in is required. anybody know how to fix this?
[16:13] <ikonia> okum: you'll need to have one of those files,
[16:13] <dddbmt> If I have ssh access to a remote server. How can I mount an folder from that server, so the programs on my local machine can access the files?
[16:13] <okum> ikonia: where is the file suppose to be?
[16:13] <greenit> can i use this date which i see in any way to sort the files through a shell-script? i am too lazy to sort them by hand^^
[16:13] <phnom> dddbmt: sshfs maybe.
[16:13] <ActionParsnip> epistax: X needs restartinig, or you can reboot the OS
[16:14] <epistax> ActionParsnip: I thought that was the "new" way to get X restarted. Bah. Okay I'll look some more.
[16:14] <kish> is there a way to install chrome next to chromium?
[16:14] <theadmin> kish: Sure, they don't conflict with each other at all
[16:14] <ichbinder> can nobody help me with my audio problem? :-/
[16:14] <danyel> greenit, use the -t option to  modify by time
[16:14] <okum> kish: why the hell would you want both?
[16:14] <ActionParsnip> kish: sure, just install the deb from google's website...
[16:14] <kish> okum, because chrome coimes with flash
[16:14] <dddbmt> phnom, thanks - I'll check it out!
[16:15] <kish> it comes with flash inside the browser and i need flash
[16:15] <okum> kish: ahh, ok, gotcha.
[16:15] <kantlivelong> xanyone know how to get a SoundBlaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum to work on 11.10? Ive got the front panel working fine but the actual output on the card doesnt work :(?
[16:15] <danyel> ex: ls -ltr will show you files ordered by modification time with the most recent all the way at the bottom of the list. remove the r to have it at the top
[16:15] <lotor> I want to make gameplay videos of games in linux  to promote linux and show  ppl that u can game in linux,but i fail so far to find a proper program for desktop recording is kk to use recorddesktop but for games the video sux.Can someone help me ?
[16:15] <greenit> danyel, how do u mean this?
[16:15] <okum> ikonia: where the hell does the configure.ac file go?
[16:16] <danyel> in terminal
[16:16] <bazhang> lotor, tried kazam? eidete? or what
[16:16] <greenit> danyel, ah, just read ur example, didnt see it first^^
[16:16] <danyel> :D
[16:16] <lotor> Yeah ive tried kazam the picture freezes after i start the game
[16:17] <lotor> in the video afterwards i mean
[16:17] <greenit> danyel, however, i want to put files with a predefined date in one folder and all others in another one... is there a way to use the date of ls -al in a shellscript?
[16:17] <lotor> when i play its no problem
[16:17] <theadmin> okum: Run "autoconf", it will generate a configure script, after that run the configure script, and finally make
[16:19] <flo`> hi
[16:19] <flo`> is it possible to install ubuntu with / on a LVM volume? and how?
[16:21] <epistax> ActionParsnip: This actually worked. Thank you. I still don't know how to really reset X without resetting the computer though
[16:21] <unperson> I've been reading a bit on backup software, but I'm looking for some advice.  I'm trying to to find software that: 1) doesn't have a steep learning curve, 2) Will perform backups both locally and over a network,  3) uses space efficiently, 4) can be scheduled for a certain time, and 5) can do nuanced management of past backups.
[16:21] <epistax> Oh well it only took 3 hours to figure this out
[16:21] <unperson> By 5 I mean I'd like to for example have snapshots for the last 2 days, 1 week ago, 2 weeks ago, and 1 month ago.
[16:21] <flo`> unperson, write a script.
[16:22] <unperson> A GUI is not necessary (as long as documentation is good), but I would like do avoid any significant scripting (simple stuff I can do).
[16:22] <flo`> unperson, rsync is your friend. it's really easy to create incremental backups with rsync (that is "simple scripting")
[16:22] <warriors8710> ciaoooo
[16:22] <warriors8710> !list
[16:23] <unperson> Assuming it's compatible, I can do 2 with sshfs and 4 with cron, so those are not strictly necessary.
[16:23] <warriors8710> !list
[16:23] <okum> theadmin: it won't run autoconf for some reason....
[16:23] <bazhang> warriors8710, no file sharing here
[16:23] <theadmin> okum: Well, I assume you have that installed?
[16:23] <Mixxit> hi i have a resolution of 1920x1080 but man ubuntu is just too fat
[16:23] <Mixxit> how can i maket his smaller
[16:23] <ActionParsnip> epistax: no idea, just easier to reboot i some cases
[16:24] <okum> theadmin: lmfao.. does it come installed when upgrading 11.10?
[16:24] <flo`> unperson, read up about rsync, especially that "hardlinking" option. then read up about the date command and its output. then read up about how to erase files. with a bit scripting you should be able to write your script
[16:24] <epistax> ActionParsnip: Fair enough. Thank you!
[16:24] <unperson> flo`, I've used rsync but never for this purpose.
[16:24] <unperson> flo`, I gather it can be used to make incremental backups using hardlinks.
[16:25] <theadmin> okum: I don't think so, no. "sudo apt-get install build-essential flex m4 bison autoconf make" should get you going with essential building tools
[16:25] <flo`> unperson, true
[16:25] <psion> hello, I'm trying to apt-get install something, but when I do it says -- The following packages have unmet dependencies: -- boxee : Depends: libxmlrpc-c3 but it is not installable -- note, I'm not even trying to install boxee right now, I battled with it a while back and got it to install, but it still presents that message
[16:26] <psion> how do I tell apt not to worry about it anymore?
[16:26] <unperson> flo`, It seems like it can be adapted to do full backup and subsequent incrementals, but it's not clear to me that I will then be able to delete my oldest backup in any sane way (without destroying the subsequent backups).
[16:26] <flo`> but unperson: beware! it will not compress files, it will not detect MOVING files, it will store changed files completely (that is, if oyu change three bytes in a 4G file, the whole file is stored again), and deleting backups takes some time (there are lots of file references to be changed)
[16:26] <okum> theadmin: yeah, it's installed already.
[16:26] <theadmin> okum: Okay, when you cd to the directory where "configure.ac" is and run "autoconf", what is the result?
[16:26] <flo`> unperson, if you do HARDlinking (not SYMlinking), it'll work as easy as rm -rf backups/20120101
[16:26] <warriors8710> !list
[16:26] <bazhang> warriors8710, not here
[16:26] <unperson> flo`, Oh, yeah, I guess that makes sense.
[16:27] <flo`> unperson, a hardlink lets three file names point to one file. if you now delete one filename, the file isn't deleted
[16:27] <unperson> flo`, Right.
[16:27] <flo`> it's only deleted if you delete the last backup referencing there
[16:27] <flo`> but the rsync solution has its disadvantages, as i just stated above
[16:27] <flo`> and it doesn't deal _super_ efficient with your disk space. but you quickly can access any random backup.
[16:27] <flo`> ymmv
[16:28] <dddbmt> phnom, sshfs worked out great. thanks alot!
[16:28] <unperson> flo`, Right.  Ideally I'd like something with compression too.  Although if I get everything else I want that's not too bad.
[16:28] <warriors8710> ciao
[16:28] <warriors8710> !list
[16:28] <bazhang> !it | warriors8710
[16:28] <unperson> flo`, I thought about combining it with some sort of compressed file system./
[16:28] <phnom> dddbmt: np :)
[16:28] <flo`> unperson, i also had that idea. never tried it, though
[16:28] <unperson> flo`, Although I have no experience with those.
[16:28] <flo`> same problem here ;)
[16:28] <gioragozzino_> salve havrei bisogno di un aiuto con un problema di ubuntu 11.10 qualcuno può aiutarmi?
[16:29] <gioragozzino_> avrei*
[16:29] <psion> anyone know how to tell apt not to worry about a package you once tried to install?
[16:29] <bazhang> gioragozzino_, #ubuntu-it for italian please
[16:29] <gioragozzino_> ty
[16:29] <flo`> are the alternate images also hybrid-images?
[16:29] <unperson> flo`, I was playing with Back In Time.  I think it is basically doing what you describe under the hood.
[16:30] <greenit> when i use "ls -al | grep "09/04/2011" " can i also add a command to copy all found files into a separate directory?
[16:30] <CuiZhe> hello:)
[16:31] <salmiak> ichbinder: dod you find more about the music startlag problem? I think I have same problem, at the start of the song there is some small soundproblem, but not after a pause I think? allso if I use the loop-between-two-points button to make it restart the song then there is no sound problem
[16:31] <okum> theadmin: ok, i got past that command, now i'm stuck on another one.. this time it's to install the applet. "make: *** No rule to make target 'install'. Stop."
[16:32] <mrrothhcloud_> what is the best ubuntu workable USB WIFI dongle
[16:32] <theadmin> okum: Did you run the configure script after autoconf?
[16:32] <mrrothhcloud_> that works out of the box
[16:32] <theadmin> okum: "sudo apt-get install checkinstall && ./configure && make && sudo checkinstall"
[16:32] <mrrothhcloud_> which one should I buy that will work out of the box with linux ubuntu for wifi dongle
[16:32] <unperson> greenit, I think maybe "cp `ls -al | grep "09/04/2011` /foo/bar" might work.  Although really this is the sort of job the find command is for.
[16:33] <unperson> greenit, Take my advice with a grain of salt.  My kung fu is not strong.
[16:33] <greenit> unperson, how can i copy files with the find-command?
[16:33] <salmiak> ichbinder: I don't use Amarok, only VLC, so I don't know about that one. About pulseaudio, what folder, what file/folders do you remove?
[16:34] <unperson> greenit, The find command has an option to perform an arbitrary command on each file found.
[16:34] <FCR2012> Hello!
[16:34] <ichbinder> salmiak: sorry, didn't see response first. let me read
[16:34] <unperson> greenit, But you'd have to look at the man page for details.
[16:34] <FCR2012> Man?
[16:34] <unperson> greenit, Anyway, it may not be necessary here, but it's worth knowing that it's very powerful for this sort of thing.
[16:34] <FCR2012> Unperson
[16:34] <FCR2012> you made typo
[16:34] <FCR2012> Man instead of main
[16:34] <greenit> unperson, thx
[16:35] <bazhang> FCR2012, ubuntu support question?
[16:35] <salmiak> ichbinder: I suppose it possible to remove pulsaudio soundsystem completely from the ubuntu system to... perhaps that is worth testing... there is those other too OSS and ALSA I think they take over then
[16:35] <unperson> FCR2012, Sorry
[16:35] <unperson> FCR2012, Er, I mean thanks.  :-)
[16:35] <edgy> Hi, what's the difference between encrypting a file using my private key or my friend public key? using gpg of course
[16:35] <salmiak> ichbinder: nothing really *needs* pulsaudio I believe
[16:35] <FCR2012> Bazhang ...nope just here to watch the chat
[16:35] <ichbinder> salmiak: do "$ mv ~/.pulse ~/.pulse.backup
[16:35] <unperson> greenit, Yes, I meant man page.  If you do look into find, look at using the -exec option.  I'd look for examples on the web.
[16:35] <salmiak> ok
[16:35] <theadmin> salmiak: False. Gnome nowadays really *depends* on pulseaudio, it won't work with alsa
[16:35] <ichbinder> salmiak: well, in general, pulseaudio is a nice frontend, afaik. But that problem is really annoying... :(
[16:36] <salmiak> oh. how bad :-(
[16:36] <kantlivelong> anyone know how to get a SoundBlaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum to work on 11.10? Ive got the front panel working fine but the actual output on the card doesnt work :(?
[16:36] <ichbinder> theadmin: thanks for that input
[16:36] <okum> theadmin: i'm confused, autoconf won't open, commands don't work and i need a toke.. lol, thanks for the help, i'll look into it later, don't have the patients to figure it out.
[16:36] <mrrothhcloud_> what a good plug and play usb Wifi dongle?
[16:37] <unperson> greenit, but anyway enclosing a command in back ticks `` should basically put the output of that command on the command line.  In this case a list of files...although it may not work because it may have all the extra cruft from the -l command
[16:37] <skyball> my box boots to Ubuntu 11.10 terminal.  How do I get to desktop?
[16:37] <ichbinder> salmiak: so, moving the .pulse folder helps... I've played 4 or 5 songs now in different players and no lags so far... but I promise, after I few more, the lags will be back. :)
[16:38] <crfripper> mrrothh, I believe  RTL8187 is the most universally supported wifi adapter chipset
[16:38] <unperson> greenit, That would be where find would be your friend./
[16:38] <srini_> http://goterminal.blogspot.in/2012/02/spark-tab-shines-with-zenithink-c71.html
[16:38] <kantlivelong> this stinks :/
[16:38] <crfripper> anything with that, you can't go wrong
[16:39] <theadmin> okum: k, good luck
[16:40] <okum> theadmin: what i was trying to do, is make my panel bar at the top have a global menu/clock and app indicator.. (i'm using 11.10//gnome classic)
[16:40] <theadmin> okum: Meh... simpliest way is by using Unity of course >.>
[16:41] <okum> theadmin: lol, i'm new to linux.. how do i do that?
[16:41] <theadmin> okum: Um, Unity is the standard Ubuntu desktop environment (which you decided not to use)
[16:42] <thomas__> what is a good program for converting avi files to dvd for burning?
[16:42] <okum> theadmin: yes, i'm using a lion os x theme, hence why i'm using gnome classic. the launcher on the left was quite annoying that is why i'm using gnome classic.
[16:42] <theadmin> okum: I see.
[16:43] <theadmin> thomas__: Any DVD burner can do that... Brasero, K3b, etc
[16:43] <theadmin> okum: Well... good luck, I have no idea what you are actually trying to compile and whether it will even work with gnome3
[16:43] <robin0800> okum: hold alt and right click
[16:43] <thomas__> oh, ok. ty.
[16:44] <bazhang> thomas__, devede
[16:44] <george> hello
[16:44] <Kareempharmacist> hello
[16:44] <okum> robin0800: yeah i got that, need to install a global menu for gnome 3.
[16:44] <george> what s up?
[16:45] <sda> hi all, i have an Broadcom Corporation BCM43225 802.11b/g/n, with kernel 3.0.0 default ubuntu it works, but it doesn't my touchpad, so i decided to compile the 3.2. With alpha 12.04 3.2kernel works for wifi but not my audio. With my personalized kernel i have a working touchpad, working audio but no wifi. What can I do? where can be my mistake?
[16:45] <okum> theadmin: lol, alright. thanks anyhow. but uhm, i was basically trying to make my panel look like mac.. :P
[16:45] <_jay> heyall, I've been getting the partial upgrade warning for a few weeks now, in the update menu 2 firefox listings have the checkbox grayed out, just wondering what to do. 10.10 64 bit
[16:45] <theadmin> okum: That's kind of disgusting to me, but good luck anyway :P
[16:45] <Kareempharmacist> what do mean by global menu
[16:46] <robin0800> okum: yes sure you can do that see omg!ubuntu! or webupd8
[16:46] <okum> theadmin: ahha, i enjoy it quite much! (friend has mac, use friends computer often, he told me about linux, with mac theme, i now love it to death.
[16:46] <marius1> Hi. My Ati Radeon driver doesnt work properly.. what should I do to install it right??
[16:46] <ichbinder> salmiak: did you try it?
[16:47] <okum> theadmin, robin0800, i think i'll just wait untill macbuntu works for 11.10 or something.
[16:51] <salmiak> ichbinder: haven't tried yet. am looking for what the directory is used for
[16:52] <ichbinder> salmiak: kay... hm, so far after a few songs in my playlist, no lagging anymore... maybe "it" improved, magically. :)
[16:53] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip: so I was curious about size of ubuntu.  Mini with nothing selected 872M, add Xorg 975M, add Openbox 1008M (after "apt-get clean" 974M), add vim 1012M (1004M after "apt-get clean")
[16:54] <MooMoo> this is a bit off topic BUT Is there anyone in here that are Italian or french (not canadian french) who also knows decent english?
[16:54] <bazhang> MooMoo, try ##english

[16:57] <Lorra> Hi everyone, I was thinking about the following thing: I changed a bit partitions on my hard drive from when I installed Ubuntu 11.04 (now updated to 11.10) and swap partition is under a different device now and it's not automatically mounted and activated anymore. How can I get it mounted and activated on boot again?
[16:57] <supertux> thank
[16:57] <supertux> handle fstab
[16:58] <supertux> check fastab ;-)
[16:58] <supertux> fstab
[16:58] <unperson> Does anyone here use Unison?  I used that quite extensively for a while, and now I'm thinking that that may double as a back-up solution.
[16:58] <supertux> --->  /etc/fstab
[16:58] <supertux> LoRez, maybe you'll need a uuid to identify it
[16:58] <Pickleface> hi
[16:58] <supertux> the partition i mean...
[16:59] <Lorra> supertux, fstab says about the old location, but I am not sure which options I should mount it
[16:59] <Pickleface> guys for wow what wine should I download?
[16:59] <Pickleface> 1.2 or 1.3?
[16:59] <Infernal> My external drive stopped mounting in my USB3 slot, it mounted once in USB2, but now it also doesnt show up in 2.0.
[16:59] <MonkeyDust> !wine
[16:59] <Pickleface> for world of warcraft
[16:59] <Lorra> supertux, I mean which options should I mount the new swap partition with?
[16:59] <bazhang> Pickleface, ask in #winehq after checking the appdb
[17:00] <nobuu> Lorra: paste your /etc/fstab and ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid
[17:00] <supertux> Lorra, listen nobuu .... options are simple
[17:01] <nobuu> anyway you have to put the right uuid in the fstab file
[17:01] <supertux> need a new identifier i suppose
[17:01] <nobuu> you can check if it works by running sudo mount -a
[17:01] <nobuu> without rebooting your machine
[17:04] <Lorra> nobuu: here they are http://paste.ubuntu.com/858029/
[17:05] <nobuu> your swap partition is on sda7?
[17:05] <oCean> Lorra: it might be easier to run   sudo blkid
[17:05] <djweezy> im trying to get xinerama setup to only bridge two of my three monitors, anyone know how? i can get it to bridge all three X screens or non, but not only two
[17:05] <nobuu> ehm no :P
[17:05] <Lorra> nobuu, no, it's on sda6
[17:05] <Lorra> nobuu: it used to be on sda7
[17:06] <ikonia> djweezy you can bridge all 3 screens, however you won't be able to use any hardware acceleration on the video cards
[17:06] <shigutso> hello, I have an old Radeon X1600 AGP graphics card and I'd like to know how can I install the best drivers for 3D acceleration in the latest Ubuntu 11.10. Ubuntu's wiki didn't help much
[17:06] <oCean> Lorra:  sudo blkid will in a very easy way show you the current swap device with corresponding UUID
[17:06] <djweezy> ikonia: i know, thats one reason i only want to bridge two, to preserve hw accel on the third, i just cant figure out how to tell Xorg/xinerama to only bridge two
[17:06] <ikonia> shigutso if you open the hardware drivers tool, you'll be offered the ubuntu supported version
[17:07] <oCean> Lorra: all you need to do is change the UUID on line 14 of your paste accordingly
[17:07] <ikonia> djweezy: same as 3 but with two displays defined,
[17:07] <djweezy> ikonia: i did that and now my third display doesnt get a signal
[17:07] <oCean> Lorra: running swapon -a will mount the newly added swap device
[17:07] <ikonia> djweezy: are they on 1, 2 or 3 seperate cards ?
[17:07] <shigutso> ikonia, I tried jockey-gtk, but it didn't offer me anything
[17:07] <djweezy> ikonia: 2
[17:07] <ikonia> shigutso: then there isn't a supported version in ubuntu
[17:08] <ikonia> djweezy: are the two you are trying to bridge on the same card ?
[17:08] <sda> i'm inside make menuconfig of kernel 3.2, i am unable to find b43 firmware.... where can i find it?!
[17:08] <djweezy> ikonia: unfortunately no or i would use twinview
[17:08] <ikonia> djweezy you are going to have a hard time then, as you'll find the 3rd port (second port on the first card) will get in the way
[17:09] <shigutso> ikonia, nice :( do you know where can I find unofficial support, like ppa, etc?
[17:09] <Broc93> hello everybody! geirha and Dr_willis thank you a lot! it worked ;)
[17:09] <ikonia> shigutso: nope and I strongly advise against it
[17:09] <Broc93> now I have another question: where do I find firefox config file? Because the browser in autostart doesn't load the homepage...
[17:09] <escott> sda, b43 firmware would be out of kernel
[17:10] <shigutso> ikonia, ok thanks
[17:10] <djweezy> ikonia: how so? if i set it up to bridge all three my screen layout locations are fine, seems it should just be another xinerama switch in serverlayout section
[17:10] <tent> one of these days i'll learn to remember how painful it is getting wireless working on a dell laptop >_<
[17:11] <sda> escott, so i have a 3.0 standard ubuntu kernel with a working wifi card,  i have a standard 3.2 12.04 kernel with a working wifi card, and i have a 11.10 ubuntu with a 3.2 kernel without a working wifi card, where i am wrong?
[17:11] <Infernal> fdisk -l shows only my internal drive
[17:11] <Lorra> oCean: done, now I reboot and see what happens
[17:11] <Infernal> how do i see where do i mount my external drive?
[17:11] <djweezy> ikonia: http://paste.weezy.us/p/49 is my xorg.conf, if i uncomment the screen 2 line it works with thre bridged
[17:12] <ikonia> djweezy: it "should" be fine, however when doing the positioning if your using one port on a dual port card it often seems to cause issues, with the left of/right of type of positioning as it expects a declaration for the second unused port
[17:12] <MonkeyDust> Infernal  type mount
[17:12] <Lorra> oCean,nobuu, supertux, thanks
[17:12] <edgy> Infernal: fdisk -l should show all your devices, internal or external
[17:12] <Broc93> uhm... how do I add a new printer in Xubuntu 11.10? I can't find any tool in the settings...
[17:13] <fornix> I restored my windows 7 and lost grub. I am following the guide here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows and my fdisk -l shows this -> http://pastebin.com/tYEY5tGN  I have ubuntu installed on /dev/sda6 when i did grub-install, i get this error -> http://pastebin.com/mfeLxAMZ
[17:13] <Infernal> edgy: yes, but the problem my external is not mounting
[17:13] <Broc93> please help me :)
[17:13] <edgy> Infernal: not mounting or not showing in fdisk -l?
[17:13] <escott> sda, that firmware is not gpl. thats the whole point of having that firmware. its not in the kernel because it can't be distributed with the kernel
[17:14] <Infernal> edgy: yes, it just doesnt show
[17:14] <MonkeyDust> Infernal  what does mount show?
[17:15] <tent> longshot...but does anyone know of any instructions for getting BCM4311 working on latest build, without a cat5 cable to connect to router....that actually works :)
[17:15] <tent> (got another computer with net connection, obviously)
[17:15] <Infernal> MonkeyDust: http://pastebin.com/Et7ttL6f
[17:15] <oCean> tent: "latest build" as in daily build for 12.04?
[17:15] <edgy> Infernal: then it's not recognized by your system
[17:15] <tent> no, not daily, i was being too lazy to look up what ive just installed haha...12.04
[17:16] <sda> escott, ok perfect, so where i am wrong? i mean if this firmware isn't installed on my computer and with 11.10 3.0 or 12.04 3.2 my wifi works, what module is it using?
[17:16] <oCean> tent: Precise/12.04 is not yet released (still alpha). Please /join #ubuntu+1 for further support and discussion
[17:16] <edgy> Infernal: is it a usb drive or what?
[17:16] <Infernal> edgy: that is the problem, it was working 15min ago
[17:16] <Infernal> edgy: i tried both a external USB3 drive, and a USB3 flah drive
[17:16] <tent> oCean: i'm being a ragefilled moron, apologies.... 11.10 :$
[17:16] <edgy> Infernal: unplug it, launch tail -f /var/log/messages and plug it and see what is the result
[17:17] <Infernal> tail: cannot open `/var/log/messages' for reading: No such file or directory
[17:17] <hmuller> Infernal: look at /var/log/syslog, messages is gone
[17:18] <sda> is there a way to see what module of kernel a hardware component is using to work?
[17:18] <oCean> tent: I asked, since specifics often matter. Sorry to say I have no actual help for the BCM issue :/
[17:19] <tent> haha, my bad, no worries.
[17:19] <Infernal> edgy: http://pastebin.com/63btPU5q
[17:20] <nobuu> on your systems virtualbox is working properly with unity? In mine it doesn't show up on the left panel (the one that shows running apps).
[17:20] <|newbie|> ciao a tutti
[17:20] <edgy> Infernal: may be the drive or the interface has a physical problem, does it work in another pc? does another disk work in your same interface?
[17:21] <nobuu> i can't minimize virtualbox windows or i "lost" them
[17:21] <Infernal> edgy: No like i sead both my external HDD and my USB Flash drive, arnt maunting
[17:21] <hmuller> sda: which component are you interested in?
[17:21] <MonkeyDust> nobuu  i use vbox, do you mean the windows inside vbox, or the vbox window ?
[17:21] <Infernal> On all the ports i might add
[17:22] <hmuller> Anyone know how to get the java plugin to work with chromium in Lubuntu?
[17:22] <ubuntu-guy> menu.lst replaced with grub.cfg ?
[17:22] <ikonia> correct
[17:23] <ikonia> you don't edit grub.cfg directly
[17:23] <ubuntu-guy> So?
[17:23] <Infernal> edgy: i inserted my USB2 drive, it works. I'l try my windows machine.
[17:23] <nobuu> MonkeyDust: all the windows. The main virtualbox window that show the list of the installed machines and the windows of running machines
[17:23] <ikonia> so what ?
[17:23] <edgy> Infernal: yes please try your other machine
[17:23] <ubuntu-guy>  I want to change Color of boot menu
[17:23] <ikonia> !grub2 > ubuntu-guy
[17:23] <bazhang> ubuntu-guy, read the grub2 wiki?
[17:23] <ikonia> ubottu: the link that ubottu has just sent you explains how to change your menu setup
[17:24] <twistsyadada> hi
[17:24] <ikonia> oops, ubuntu-guy the link that ubottu has just sent you explains how to change your menu setup
[17:24] <sda> hmuller, Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM43225 802.11b/g/n [14e4:4357] (rev 01)
[17:24] <ubuntu-guy> yeah
[17:24] <MonkeyDust> nobuu  what do you mean by 'lost', exactly?
[17:24] <twistsyadada> the login screen keeps throwing me out , how can i get in
[17:24] <ubuntu-guy> thanks
[17:24] <twistsyadada> its like a loop
[17:25] <bazhang> twistsyadada, in 12.04 ?
[17:25] <twistsyadada> yeah :D
[17:25] <bazhang> twistsyadada, then dont crosspost here
[17:25] <nobuu> MonkeyDust: i mean that i can't switch to them using alt+tab or by clicking unity panel cause they aren't showed there
[17:25] <oCean> sda: use -k option to lspci:  lspci -k | grep -i network  -A 3
[17:25]  * milen8204 sad
[17:25] <twistsyadada> well, this problem does occur across stable releases, maybe someone can point me the solution
[17:26] <hmuller> sda: See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx
[17:26] <nobuu> the only way is to launch again virtualbox so it raise the main window and here i can raise also virtual machine's window
[17:26] <bazhang> twistsyadada, you are on 12.04 , you are asking in #ubuntu+1
[17:26] <MonkeyDust> nobuu  strange, no problem here, has it always been like that? what ubuntu version are you running?
[17:26] <twistsyadada> how to switch channels with irssi
[17:26] <Infernal> edgy: both of them work on my other machine
[17:27] <MonkeyDust> twistsyadada  alt arrow
[17:27] <nobuu> MonkeyDust: 11.10 i've installed virtualbox now i don't know if it has ever work under unity
[17:27] <tent> found network cable, wireless now working, oh how i love the internet :D
[17:27] <edgy> Infernal: so if you plug a usb2 drive in this same interface, it works but your usb3 doesn't?
[17:27] <sda> hmuller, yep, i know but i don't want to use proprietary driver, i mean if a standard 11.10 and 12.04 can make it work without why can't I? :)
[17:27] <DJones> twistsyadada: If you've got multiple channels open, press Alt + the channel number
[17:28] <MonkeyDust> nobuu  i don't use unity, so can't say if it's due to that, maybe someone else knows
[17:28] <Infernal> edgy: Yes, it's a usb 3 port
[17:28] <hmuller> sda: What drivers then are "the standard 11.10 and 12.04" using then?
[17:29] <nobuu> MonkeyDust: ok thanks anyway
[17:29] <Meads> j #linux
[17:29] <edgy> Infernal: may be it's a bug, I suggest you download a precise liveCD and boot with and test
[17:29] <Meads> My internet keeps dropping out, It's a wired connection. Any idea what could be causing this. http://pastebin.com/BxeGhjfV - theres my ifconfig, the packets dropped shouldn't be that high should it?
[17:29] <shaun413> !nomnom
[17:29] <Infernal> what di you mean by precise?
[17:30] <edgy> Infernal: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/daily-live/current/precise-desktop-amd64.iso
[17:30] <edgy> Infernal: this gurantee you are using a newer kernel in an easy way
[17:30] <oCean> nobuu: does the virtualbox icon will appear in the launcher when you start it from terminal?
[17:30] <sda> that's is the problem! :D i have no idea! I think they are standard kernel open firmware so i asked if i can find out what kernel module a component is using, and they told me about -k on lspci, now i'm gonna try but i have to restart! :)
[17:30] <bodom> Hello, is there anybody who can help me figure out how to get rid of this dkms error? ERROR (dkms apport): binary package for r8168: 8.028.00 not found
[17:30] <ehidle> Meads: bad cable maybe?
[17:31] <tobago> i added a printer to my ubuntu server via usb. it prints.then i released it using cups. after that i appended the net printer to my local ubuntu client. it found it itself. but printing doesn't append the print job to the servers printer job queue. what more do i have to attend?
[17:31] <nobuu> oCean: no i got those warnings http://pastebin.com/sPFhmrCn i use the default theme
[17:32] <oCean> nobuu: wow, no idea what happened there :(
[17:32] <hmuller> sda: run lsmod in a terminal and look for: sta   I'll bet that's the driver in use.
[17:32] <yeochief> meads: when did you reset your modem last?
[17:32] <oCean> sda: use -k option to lspci:  lspci -k | grep -i network  -A 3
[17:32] <edgy> Infernal: I have to go, is it clear for you now?
[17:32] <oCean> sda: -k will show the driver in use
[17:32] <Infernal> edgy: weird, the USB2 ports are working again... if it works under the the live cd, what do i do next?
[17:32] <Infernal> edgy: fresh install?
[17:33] <edgy> Infernal: you are free then to upgrade your system or do free install or just upgrade your kernel
[17:33] <Meads> It's perfect in windows, does it in linux only, even in a virtual environment inside windows.
[17:33] <sda> oCean, yes i know but i have to restart, now i'm using my personalized kernel with an USB key wifi, i have to because with standard kernel my pc is gonna burn! :D
[17:33] <Infernal> edgy: I see. Thank you for your time :)
[17:33] <nobuu> oCean: in system monitor i can see that the main window of virtualbox has no icon (but if I remember correctly it should have virtualbox logo)
[17:33] <Meads> The connection was only put on 2 weeks a go, I haven't reset the router.
[17:34] <ubuntu-guy> OK ... Now only thing is default plymouth .... will back if i fail again 0_0
[17:34] <sda> oCean, hmuller  i'lllll be back!
[17:34] <edgy> Infernal: your are welcome
[17:34] <hmuller> anyone familiar with the lubuntu distribution?
[17:35] <Meads> yeochief: It's perfect in windows, does it in linux only, even in a virtual environment inside windows.
[17:35] <bazhang> hmuller, yes, and in #lubuntu as well
[17:35] <hmuller> bazhang: I did not get any response in that channel
[17:35] <bazhang> hmuller, whats the question
[17:36] <hmuller> bazhang: I'm a long time linux and ubuntu user, but I cannot seem to get java to work with chromium, can you assist?
[17:37] <yeochief> I run a dual boot system. Usually internet problems show up in Windows not Ubuntu.
[17:37] <sda1986> oCean, hmuller it uses the Kernel modules: wl, brcmsmac
[17:37] <bazhang> hmuller, chromium-browser from the repos? how di d you try to install it?
[17:37] <hmuller> bazhang: chromium-browser comes with a standard install
[17:37] <hmuller> bazhang: it was already there
[17:38] <bazhang> hmuller, and how did you try to install java
[17:38] <hmuller> using synaptic, openjdk jre and jdk and lubuntu-restricted-extras
[17:39] <hmuller> bazhang: using synaptic, openjdk jre and jdk and lubuntu-restricted-extras
[17:39] <bazhang> hmuller, so they install correctly? or is there some use case that is not working out?
[17:40] <geirha> Broc93: Not sure if you got an answer to this yet (I just noticed the highlight). Edit the firefox.desktop file with a regular text editor and change the Exec= line to include the url; e.g. Exec=firefox http://example.com
[17:40] <hmuller> bazhang: they install, chromium shows the plugin in about:plugins, but when I go to the java test page, no luck
[17:45] <Voyack> Hi
[17:45] <Voyack> is there any virtual machine for ubuntu, that i can use to simulate windows?
[17:46] <danyel> Voyack, virtualbox
[17:46] <bazhang> Voyack, vbox

[17:46] <DottorLeo> Hi! need a hand for file manager
[17:46] <bazhang> Voyack, you need the windows installer disc of course
[17:46] <MonkeyDust> Voyack  i have win XP in vbox
[17:46] <DottorLeo> is it possible to install nautilus on Lubuntu?
[17:46] <bazhang> DottorLeo, whats the issue
[17:46] <danyel> Voyack, if you just want to use windows programs instead of the whole operating system you can take a look at WINE
[17:47] <DottorLeo> i need the search function integrated on the File manager, PcMan doesn't have it
[17:47] <ssta> DottorLeo: sure, just be aware it will pull in a LOT of depdendencies
[17:47] <DottorLeo> need catfish
[17:47] <DottorLeo> other file manager with search?
[17:47] <Voyack> danyel - program that i need, isn't supported by Wine
[17:47] <Voyack> cause i want to run ArchiCad on ubuntu
[17:47] <danyel> Voyack, then you can use virtualbox
[17:48] <DottorLeo> something...similar to windows 7 file manager
[17:48] <Voyack> k, i'll try :)
[17:48] <Voyack> thanks for quick help :)
[17:48] <DottorLeo> better if has a search box on the top
[17:49] <bazhang> !info catfish | DottorLeo
[17:50] <DottorLeo> yep i've already installed it
[17:50] <DottorLeo> but i'm searching something already integrated on a file manager
[17:51] <brontosaurusrex> how to update the version of flash that chromium is using, again?
[17:51] <LL2|Android> Hmmm
[17:51] <LL2|Android> I want to make my ssh server login as my tf2server user, using sudo
[17:52] <LL2|Android> I think I may have an idea for how to have it automatically run ~/startserv on server boot only
[17:52] <LL2|Android> But I would like it if a bash expert could check if it will work
[17:53] <fbev> neil-tracker
[17:53] <LL2|Android> First though
[17:53] <LL2|Android> I need to ask, will bash.rc run every time a user logs in with the login command?
[17:54] <DottorLeo> !info dolphin
[17:55] <ssta> LL2|Android: .bash_profile will, which depending how it's setup will also call .bashrc.  Interactive shells (non-login shells) call ~/.bashrc only
[17:55] <LL2|Android> So
[17:55] <LL2|Android> Aliases included in bash.rc will set on root login only, assuming that root is the first to login in any session?
[17:56] <LL2|Android> Like, if I have a ls2 alias, will it set only when I first login to ssh?
[17:56] <ssta> LL2|Android: root usually doesn't login on an ubuntu system
[17:57] <LL2|Android> ssta: well, I'm trying to set up my ssh server to login to tf2server using sudo, and autorun ./startserv (or ~/startserv ) on boot ONLY
[17:57] <ssta> LL2|Android: if you want to be sure it's set, add it to ~/.bashrc and ~/.bash_profile
[17:57] <LL2|Android> Well
[17:58] <LL2|Android> The aliases I set up stay set between users
[17:58] <ssta> not usually.  Not unless you put them in /etc
[17:59] <LL2|Android> I set them up in /etc/bash.bashrc
[17:59] <qazokm> is there a way to diff -R, but only for directory names?
[17:59] <ssta> hmm, it's more common to set them per user, in $HOME/.bashrc
[17:59] <LL2|Android> Should I be able to use a env var, the sudo command, and two rc files to run the startserv file on boot only?
[17:59] <LL2|Android> Well
[17:59] <roadfish> Is there an Ubuntu command to force a TCP connection to close? I see an old connection listed in iptstate and I want to force it to close.
[18:00] <llutz> !info cutter | roadfish
[18:00] <kuldeepdhaka> -[18:00] <ssta> LL2|Android: if it were me, I'd put it all in a script and run it from /etc/rc.d.  There are manhy ways to do it though
[18:00] <LL2|Android> As I said, I want to be able to login to the tf2server account myself and be able to edit its files
[18:00] <roadfish> llutz:tnx ... time to start cutting
[18:01] <LL2|Android> ssta: mind pasting me the code to add into files?
[18:01] <oCean> kuldeepdhaka: no need to do that "[18:01] <ssta> LL2|Android: since I don't really understand fully what you need, no, I can't really
[18:01] <LL2|Android> Well
[18:01] <kuldeepdhaka> ocean, how to install ubutnu on thin clients or need os for thin client
[18:01] <LL2|Android> I'll try pastebining the general idea
[18:01] <LL2|Android> And I'll link you to it
[18:02] <kuldeepdhaka> ocean, got only 1gb hdisk ,521mb ram and 1ghz processor
[18:02] <Crell> Hi folks.  I'm on a fresh install of 11.10.  So far so good, but when I try to do anything on the PHP command line I get an error that: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php5/20090626/sqlite.so' - /usr/lib/php5/20090626/sqlite.so
[18:03] <kuldeepdhaka> ocean, hp is the manuf
[18:03] <Crell> I installed the PHP SQLite package (I need it for other stuff), and that works from the web, but not CLI for some reason.
[18:03] <Crell> Why, and what do I do about it?
[18:03] <LL2|Android> ssta: is there any file I can use to run commands on BOOT ONLY?
[18:03] <llutz> LL2|Android: /etc/rc.local
[18:04] <ssta> LL2|Android: /etc/rc.local
[18:04] <LL2|Android> So, when I login to ssh, it won't run that file?
[18:04] <LL2|Android> Just only on boot?
[18:04] <Somelauw> Could this be a problem? http://paste.pocoo.org/show/557000 If yes, then how to solve it?
[18:04] <ssta> LL2|Android: you can also use the @reboot directive in cron if you prefer
[18:04] <LL2|Android> Ok
[18:04] <kuldeepdhaka> how to install ubutnu on thin clients,need os for thin client,,,, 1gb hdisk,1ghz processor and 512 ram...want to use it for personal use
[18:04] <llutz> ssta: that will be executed everytime you restart crond too
[18:04] <LL2|Android> Ok
[18:05] <LL2|Android> Any command to tell if the program is running or not?
 usb?
[18:05] <llutz> LL2|Android: pgrep "command" || echo does not run
[18:05] <kuldeepdhaka> yes 6 usb ports
[18:05] <Somelauw> I want to update ubuntu by using the update-manager, but I keep getting broken packages. I am not sure but can someone look at http://paste.pocoo.org/show/557000 to see if this could be a problem when trying to upgrade.
[18:05] <Somelauw> ?
[18:05] <ssta> llutz: hmm, I wasn't aware of that.  Is that documented somewhere?
 create disk on key with ubuntu and install it
[18:06] <LL2|Android> Well
[18:06] <llutz> ssta: it is, but ask me where....
[18:06] <kuldeepdhaka> got only 1gb internal hdisk
[18:06] <ssta> I've been using @reboot for years and never noticed that...you live and learn I guess
[18:06] <kuldeepdhaka> ribhoo, got only 1gb internal hdiesk
[18:06]  * ssta tests
[18:06] <LL2|Android> If I use a screen command in the startserv file, I should be able to 'screen -x' to the server console when logged into the tf2server account, right?
[18:06] <LL2|Android> When I use the cron or such
[18:08] <ssta> llutz: I can't reproduce that behaviour....Can you try to find where it's documented for me?  It's interesting
[18:08] <kuldeepdhaka> how to install ubutnu on thin clients,need os for thin client,,,, 1gb hdisk,1ghz processor and 512 ram,6 usb ports...want to use it for personal use
[18:08] <llutz> ssta: some google tells me that there are versions not doing this, like debian-cron. (wikipedia-link...)
[18:08] <ssta> LL2|Android: yes
[18:08] <llutz> ssta: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron
[18:08] <Somelauw> Any help please?
[18:08] <ssta> llutz: Ubuntu uses vixie-cron
[18:09] <LL2|Android> Ok
[18:09] <LL2|Android> So I cron the commmand
[18:09] <urfr332gO> Somelauw, give us your problem in the form of a question. :)
[18:09] <LL2|Android> And when I want to access the console, i can just login to the account, and screen -x, right?
[18:10] <psion> hello, I'm trying to apt-get install something, but when I do it says -- The following packages have unmet dependencies: -- boxee : Depends: libxmlrpc-c3 but it is not installable -- note, I'm not even trying to install boxee right now, I battled with it a while back and got it to install, but it still presents that message
[18:10] <psion> how do I tell apt not to worry about it anymore?
[18:10] <ssta> LL2|Android: should be able to, if you get the script right, yes
[18:10] <LL2|Android> Also, on an ssh server, the cron reboot directive won't execute when I login right?
[18:10] <LL2|Android> Just when I boot it up?
[18:10] <ssta> LL2|Android: no, it ought to only execute when you reboot
[18:10] <ssta> hence the name

[18:11] <urfr332gO> kuldeepdhaka, STOP USING HELP.
[18:11] <ssta> LL2|Android: although as llutz has just pointed out, not all cron implementations are safe that way (vixie cron is, which is what's in Ubuntu) -- some do it on crond restarts too

[18:12] <salmiak> ichbinder: Yeah I never understood what the files in .pulseaudio/ is for. on is a symlink to a files with pid for pulesaudios deamon, so perhaps it restarted pulseadio for you when you deleted that?

[18:12] <LL2|Android> Basically
[18:12] <psion> it's dark in here

[18:12] <ssta> LL2|Android: correct
[18:13] <LL2|Android> Ok
[18:13] <bleavitt> Hello All, I am having an issue with my networking in Ubuntu. My primary interface just seems to stop sending and receiving traffic at random intervals, and then starts up again. Anyone have some suggestions on solutions or troubleshooting ideas?
[18:13] <llutz> LL2|Android: pgrep <yourcommand>||  /path/startwhatever
[18:13] <urfr332gO> !patience > kuldeepdhaka
[18:13] <LL2|Android> So I can't screw myself out of being able to use ssh on the server?
[18:13] <psion> !love > urfr332gO
[18:13] <salmiak> ichbinder:  After I changed the setting in VLC for audio/outputmodules to ALSA sound output and restarted VLC, I got rid of the stuttering at the start of a song. Yes strange but anyway, now the sounds goes to ALSA-emulation in pulseaudio and that gives better sound than to pulsaudio directly? well...
[18:14] <urfr332gO> psion, we all love you to but help is a good way of not actually getting it. :)
[18:14] <LL2|Android> Should I set the crontab to be on the server account, to be safe?
[18:14] <LL2|Android> The tf2server account, I mean
[18:15] <kuldeepdhaka> how to install ubutnu on thin clients,need os for thin client,,,, 1gb hdisk,1ghz processor and 512 ram,6 usb ports...want to use it for personal use
[18:15] <Pici> !ltsp | kuldeepdhaka you mat want to start here
[18:17] <urfr332gO> kuldeepdhaka, if somebocy has a answer you will get it posting the same thing every two minutes is against channel policy, and rude this channel is not just for you.
[18:18] <urfr332gO> kuldeepdhaka, that set up is to small for ubuntu even lubuntu to be honest look at lighter OS.
[18:19] <Bodsda> urfr332gO: depends if all the processing has to be done on the client, if the server can handle some of it, then swapping out unity/Gnome/KDE/etc. for a lightweight WM should be sufficient, something like fluxbox or E7 maybe
[18:20] <salmiak> about VLC btw, I tried to find version 2.0 of VLC for ubuntu10.04, but can't find it anywhere so if anyone knows...  perhaps I should just wait patiently. (I read on some ppa that the problem is vlc2 uses "libbluray (that) requires multiarch-support which is not available for 10.04", so wouldn't it be possible to compile a vlc2 without blueray-support? most people don't have a bluerayplayer anyway).
[18:20] <Bodsda> salmiak: That sounds perfectly logical, have you tried building from source?
[18:21] <LL2|Android> llutz: so what would I use to add a crontab that runs /home/tf2server/startserv as the account tf2server, on every reboot?
[18:21] <llutz> LL2|Android: man 5 crontab
[18:21] <bleavitt> Does anyone have a second to help me troubleshoot a network issue?  This happens randomly, but often every 30 minutes.
[18:22] <urfr332gO> Bodsda, that would be for a user who has any sense look at this users history of posting. :)
[18:22] <salmiak> Bodsda: I'm a little afraid of trying.... my latest try at compiling stuff didn't end so well... lots of tries and tries to understand what to do, and in the end no result.... so perhaps I'm not the best person at compiling things
[18:23] <Bodsda> urfr332gO: human stupidity offends me :)
[18:24] <urfr332gO> Bodsda, lol you wont like it here.
[18:24] <Bodsda> salmiak: some builds can be very frustrating, but in my experience, the instructions are usually pretty good, and most things boil down to 'cd build_dir && ./configure && make && sudo make install'
[18:24] <Bodsda> urfr332gO: I've been here a long time :) It's remarkably quiet today though
[18:25] <MonkeyDust> Bodsda  that is good news: few problems :)
[18:26] <nobitanobi> I do a lot a particular command in the console (cd /Projects/finance/myfinances) - I've tried adding a line in bashrc to have a shortcut, but it's not working. Here is what I tried: alias myfinanceproject= 'cd /home/novito/Projects/finance/myfinances' - What am I doing wrong?
[18:26] <Bodsda> MonkeyDust: true true
[18:26] <urfr332gO> Bodsda, it is the weekend the kids are picnicking withe their big picnic basket basket with their parents.
[18:26] <ribhoo> !alias
[18:26] <Bodsda> urfr332gO: people still have picnics?
[18:26] <tsimpson> nobitanobi: it would help if you describe what exactly "not working" means
[18:26] <LL2|Android> Ummm
[18:26] <LL2|Android> How do I exit man
[18:26] <oCean> urfr332gO: Bodsda, chat is in #ubuntu-offtopic, not here
[18:27] <LL2|Android> Nvm
[18:27] <Bodsda> LL2|Android: press q
[18:27] <nobitanobi> tsimpson: Sorry. When I type myfinanceprojects, the command is not executed
[18:27] <Bodsda> nobitanobi: any errors?
[18:27] <LL2|Android> Ok
[18:27] <salmiak> Bodsda: yes when there is no problems the world is wonderful. :-D  Perhaps I should give it a try... anyone knows the webaddress to "Compiling VLC 2.0 in ubuntu10.04 for dummies"?
[18:28] <nobitanobi> yes. Bodsda: it says "the /path" is a directory
[18:28] <Bodsda> salmiak: find the vlc project homepage, download the source tarball, extract it, read the README file
[18:29] <llutz> nobitanobi: "ls -ld /home/novito/Projects/finance/myfinances"
[18:29] <urfr332gO> oCean, no problem my bad. :)

[18:31] <Bodsda> nobitanobi: does the exact command work correctly if you copy and paste it?
[18:31] <nobitanobi> yes
[18:31] <Bodsda> nobitanobi: try adding a trailing /
[18:32] <nobitanobi> ok
[18:33] <llutz> nobitanobi: "...When I type myfinanceprojects..."  typo?  what does "alias myfinanceproject"  say
[18:33] <nobitanobi> is not a typo, I wrote it wrong here
[18:33] <nobitanobi> let me log out for the changes on bashrc be applied
[18:34] <bastidrazor> nobitanobi: you don't need to log out. just source ~/.bashrc
[18:34] <zykotick9> llutz: are you running "source .bashrc" after making your changes?
[18:34] <Bodsda> you could just close the terminal??
[18:34] <greenit> hi, does any1 know how i can get the creation-date of a file with the command "find" ? i want to cp a file from a specific date into a directory
[18:34] <llutz> greenit: you cannot, theres no such info on ext-fs (yet)
[18:34] <nobitanobi> ok. Adding the "/" at the end
[18:34] <nobitanobi> solved the problem
[18:34] <nobitanobi> thanks guys
[18:34] <Bodsda> greenit: theres no such thing logged
[18:34] <greenit> damn
[18:34] <Bodsda> nobitanobi: no problem
[18:35] <Somelauw> urfr332gO: I want to update ubuntu by using the update-manager, but I keep getting broken packages. I am not sure but can someone look at http://paste.pocoo.org/show/557000 to see if this could be a problem when trying to upgrade?
[18:35] <greenit> but "ls -al" shows the date of creation... or at least the date of last edited
[18:35] <Bodsda> greenit: last modified
[18:35] <llutz> greenit:last modified or last changed, but never created
[18:36] <greenit> Bodsda, ok, can i get files with this date with the command find?
[18:36] <llutz> (unless you never touched that file)
[18:36] <Bodsda> greenit: pass, probably
[18:36] <greenit> Bodsda, do you know how?
[18:37] <urfr332gO> Somelauw, install synaptic and look in the broken package filter
[18:37] <Bodsda> greenit: no, thats what I meant by pass, sorry
[18:37] <greenit> Bodsda, oh, k
[18:37] <kapz> Hi all! I know this is not vlc forum but I will much appreciate helpful answers...in VLC player can I put option/plugin to save the last state of the file played,,2nd : can I adjust reverse/forward jumps according to my like, kind of like in smplayer? Thanks
[18:38] <Bodsda> greenit: plenty of info from third line support though - http://www.google.com/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=find+files+based+on+modified+date+linux&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8
, can't <greenit> do it with ls -l?
[18:38] <mobbdeep> hello, what byte size can i use in ping command to test network connection
[18:38] <Bodsda> mobbdeep: the default is 64
[18:39] <Somelauw> urfr332gO: That filter is completely empty.
[18:39] <mobbdeep> Bodsa, yes, but to check beetter peckets losts, what to use
[18:39] <greenit> ribhoo, nope, this commands shows "xyz files" at the beginning, i tried it alrdy
[18:39] <mobbdeep> packets lossing
[18:39] <Bodsda> ribhoo: not unless ls can filter it based on the date. If you piped it through grep you might be able to, but he sai he wanted to use find
[18:39] <urfr332gO> Somelauw, thats my best idea, good luck. ;)
[18:40] <roadfish> how to I remove stale entries in /proc/net/ip_conntrack ?
, so he can do it with ls and grep :)
[18:40] <mobbdeep> This connection is sending to much flood and my router is going off
[18:40] <Bodsda> mobbdeep: changing the packet size isn't going to affect packet loss figures very significantly unless you have an unbelievably tight bandwidth issue
[18:41] <escott> Bodsda, there are some broken routers that will drop packets larger than certain sizes
[18:41] <Bodsda> ribhoo: hhmm, no actually, thinking about it. grep would be able to get you files modified 'on a date' but not before or after, because it is interpreting it as a string, you wouldnt be able to do anything fancy with the date
[18:41] <Bodsda> escott: such as?

[18:44] <sergiu> why the skype is so old for linux
[18:44] <sergiu> :D
[18:44] <Bodsda> Halexander9000: are you using any ppa's from statux.org?
[18:45] <Bodsda> sergiu: you think microsoft will update it?

[18:45] <ribhoo> rm -f /tmp/stamp$$
[18:45] <ichbinder> salmiak: hm... as I said, after deleting ~/.pulse/, I haven't had any lags so far
[18:45] <ssta> sergiu: to be fair to MS, it wasn't updated for a LONG time before MS bought skype either
[18:45] <Halexander9000> Bodsda: I don't think I understand you. But "once upon a time" I had another problem, and someone told me to add some servers to my list of software providers.
[18:46] <ichbinder> sergiu: that and because the old skype version was better... ;)
[18:46] <greenit> ribhoo, i do not know if this solves my problem of sorting files which i made a year before into some directories....
[18:47] <Bodsda> Halexander9000: can you paste the output of this command please - 'cat /etc/apt/sources.list'
[18:48] <llutz> greenit: the find example from http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-unix-osxfind-files-by-date/  might help

[18:55] <Somelauw> I think I found the problem. I made a deb myself and installed it. Is there a way to deinstall that deb again? I can show you how I build the deb.
[18:56] <zykotick9> Bodsda: PPAs aren't included in sources.list BTW
[18:56] <greenit> llutz, ok, that helps, but how can i cp the found files into a directory?
[18:56] <llutz> greenit: man find,  find ...... -exec cp {} /new/path/ \;
[18:57] <greenit> llutz, thx
[18:58] <llutz> greenit: "{}"  if you have filenames with spaces
[18:58] <greenit> llutz, erm... it says find: missing argument for -exec
[18:59] <llutz> greenit: whats your exact command?
[18:59] <greenit> llutz, nvm, forgot \; at the end^^
[18:59] <greenit> llutz, thx a lot :)
[18:59] <Dr_willis> zelhar,  theres a lot of hits and discussion about that on the forums and askubuntu - someone asked about it in here the other day. but i dident see a definitive answer.
[19:00] <llutz> greenit: np
[19:00] <Oer> Somelauw, if you build a deb, you can also make uninstall ( afaik )
[19:00] <Dr_willis> zelhar,  the operative word is 'may result' - i never saw any actual benchmarks
[19:00] <Bodsda> zykotick9: really? is that a new change?
[19:00] <Dr_willis> zykotick9,  the trend has been to move extra repos to the sources.list.d directory
[19:00] <Dr_willis> leave your sources.list nice and clean. :)
[19:01] <Somelauw> Oer: I still need to find a safe way to install third-party software. deb's and ppa's only give problems and the official repositories don't have all software and are sometimes outdated.
[19:01] <zykotick9> Bodsda: no, PPAs are in /etc/apt/source.list.d i believe - but in this case - sources.list did show the repo you're intersted in ;)
[19:01] <rethus> i'd like to install vlc 2.0, but didn't get it in the packagemanager on 10.10 - even if the "universe" repos are activated. any idea why
[19:01] <xangua> !latest | rethus
[19:01] <Somelauw> But I got it to upgrade eventually.
[19:01] <Dr_willis> rethus,  theres some guides on installing vlc 2 at the webupd8 blog site.
[19:01] <Dr_willis> rethus,  you will need to add the proper ppa's i imagine.
[19:02] <zelhar> Well Dr thanks for your reply. I suppose I will see for my self if performance lags.
[19:02] <rethus> have you a link for me
[19:02] <Bodsda> zykotick9: ah :) - I didn't see the reply, can you tell whoever it was to delete the offending lines for me? I need to go afk
[19:02] <Dr_willis> rethus,  and for 10.10 - its possible its not been ported/made to a ppa yet. since most people use the latest,  or LTS. not in between versions.
[19:02] <Dr_willis> rethus,  check out the webupd8 blog site. I havent bothered to test vlc 2 in linux yet.
[19:02] <rethus> i specialy upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10 for vlc - and now this
[19:03] <rethus> on 10.4 i only got 1.9
[19:03] <rethus> realy strange, that 2.0 is signed on the vlc-page, but nowhere to download
[19:03] <Dr_willis> rethus, I got it on windows. :) but not linux yet. theres ppas for it for 11.10 i belive.
[19:04] <Dr_willis> you normally dont just download apps from their homepages for linux/ubuntu. you use the package manager/ppas
[19:04] <Oer> rethus, wait for 12.04 or see webupd8. i think it will not appear in 11.10
[19:04] <Dr_willis> sometimes a site has a .deb but thats a bit rare.
[19:04] <salmiak> rethus: for ubuntu10.04 the latest I found is 1.1.13 (at https://launchpad.net/~n-muench/+archive/vlc2 ), are ther a 1.9 somewhere?
[19:04] <skyball> installed ubuntu all i have is a black screan?
[19:04] <rethus> what is this webupd8
[19:04] <rethus> have you a link
[19:04] <skyball> nowhere to type nothing
[19:04] <Dr_willis> rethus,  type it in your browser...
[19:05] <rethus> salmiak: jey i had 1.9
[19:05] <zykotick9> !nomodeset | skyball
[19:05] <rethus> but eachtime i start a avi-file, he try to rebuild the file. therefor i'd like to try 2.0
[19:06] <rethus> whats that "webupd8" can somebody explain? or send a link
[19:06] <Oer> rethus, what makes you think VLC cause this behaviour ?
[19:06] <Dr_willis> rethus,  its a web site.. type it in your browser..
[19:06] <dlentz> rethus, google...
[19:06] <salmiak> rethus: perhaps I should get that, while waiting for 2.0 (I don't want to least ubuntu10.04), have a link, or was that a compile-by-yourself ?
[19:06] <salmiak> rethus: webupd8 is probable some ppa somewhere, with vlc 2.0 ?
[19:07] <Dr_willis> webupd8 and omgubuntu are two of the main ubuntu blog sites i read.
[19:07] <rethus> it was out of the repos of natty
[19:08] <rethus> no results for vlc2 on webupd8
[19:09] <Ignisss> Guys ive got a clean ubuntu 10.04lts install on a pc with a mainboard with the ck804 audio chip but ive got no audio at all, ive followed this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting but it still doesnt work, anyone has any idea? Ive also made a post here https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/188890 in wich the results of aplay -l and lspci are posted and also posted
[19:09] <Ignisss> them http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=11719125&postcount=39 here
[19:09] <dlentz> then try an ubuntu 12.04 liveusb
[19:09] <rethus> thats realy sucks. from 10.04 and vlc 1.9 to 10.10 and 1.1.12 :(
[19:09] <NewWorld> rethus:  hahaha, wth?!
[19:09] <dlentz> rethus, it's 1.1.9
[19:10] <L551> Can someone tell me why dbus-daemon is using so much CPU?
[19:10] <dlentz> or probably 1.0.9
[19:10] <rethus> realy ?
[19:10] <Dr_willis> "Unfortunately, there's no stable VLC PPA for older Ubuntu versions."
[19:10] <dlentz> it didn't downgrade..
[19:10] <Dr_willis> rethus,  there are at least 2 posts about vlc2 there.. one on the front page.
[19:10] <ribhoo> rethus>, on 10.04 by default its 1.0.6
[19:10] <Dr_willis> 11.10 is needed for vlc2 at this time it seems
[19:10] <rethus> i wonder why vlc-webpage sign for 2.0 if no 2.0 is installable on ubuntu
[19:11] <LL2|Android> Ok
[19:11] <Dr_willis> rethus,  it IS avilable for ubuntu.
[19:11] <LL2|Android> I got it running
[19:11] <theadmin> rethus: There is a 2.0 PPA...
[19:11] <LL2|Android> I ended up just using root crontab instead of tf2server crontab
[19:11] <rethus> which repositorie?
[19:11] <rethus> i have universe activated. no 2.0
[19:11] <LL2|Android> Though I use sudo to make it use the tf2server account without passworf
[19:11] <Dr_willis> rethus,  its for 11.10+ only... in a speical PPA. not the normal repos.
[19:11] <LL2|Android> *password
[19:11] <theadmin> rethus: Not in the official... It's a PPA
[19:12] <Dr_willis> very cleary stated   http://www.webupd8.org/2012/02/install-vlc-20-in-ubuntu-1110-oneiric.html
[19:12] <rethus> which ppa-url?
[19:13] <Dr_willis> rethus,  are you using 11.10?
[19:13] <llutz> LL2|Android: use /etc/crontab with "tf2server" in the "user" field (6th)
[19:13] <rethus> jes
[19:13] <Dr_willis> then read/follow the directions given at the page above.
[19:13] <Dr_willis> i thought you said you had 10.10 earlier..
[19:14] <LL2|Android> llutz
[19:14] <LL2|Android> Want me to pm you what I used?
[19:14] <llutz> LL2|Android: nope
[19:14] <rethus> i upgraded to newest version before 10 minutes
[19:14] <ssta> rethus: 1.1.12 was the very latest vlc when 11.10 released.  I was about a week or so old at the time is all
[19:14] <LL2|Android> Lol I did anyway
[19:15] <rethus> the ocelot-thing
[19:15] <ssta> s/I/It/
[19:15] <rethus> yes, but which ppa have i to add to get 2.0
[19:15] <llutz> !pm | LL2|Android don't pm me, i don't read it
[19:16] <LL2|Android> Well
[19:16] <stroxis> is there any way to mount drives using ssh?
[19:16] <wildcard> Yo people, have a very odd question, but here goes.
[19:16] <ssta> stroxis: sshfs ?
[19:16] <LL2|Android> It was something that could be bad to say publically
[19:16] <stroxis> ssta: mount it on the remote coumputer
[19:16] <rethus> http://www.webupd8.org/2012/02/install-vlc-20-in-ubuntu-1110-oneiric.html
[19:17] <wildcard> My hard drive failed a while back, and I have installed Ubuntu 11.10 on a flash drive for a temporary fix.  I now have a new hard drive, and lost my install disk.  Is tehre  a way I can partition/install Ubuntu from the flash drive?
[19:17] <rethus> have one thing to say aout webupd8 - the search-functions are not realy good on this page
[19:17] <ssta> stroxis: umm, not that I'm aware of, no.  Although if you have a shell on the remote computer you could go to that and do it
[19:17] <ribhoo> !ru | ribhoo
[19:17] <dlentz> rethus, yes, now run the terminal commands there (in pink) and you'll have vlc 2.0
[19:17] <LL2|Android> Wildcard: copy the files over?
[19:17] <ribhoo> !heb | ribhoo
[19:17] <wildcard> Can I use Gparted to reformat the Hard drive from the flash drive?
[19:17] <theadmin> wildcard: Sure
[19:18] <ribhoo> !isr | ribhoo
[19:18] <Dr_willis> typed 'vlc' into the search area.. and it was the #2 hit.... for vlc 2.0
[19:18] <michu1972> jak przyspieszyć unity
[19:18] <Pici> !pl | michu1972
[19:18] <ribhoo> hm... no hebrew channel for ubuntu?
[19:18] <Dr_willis> so webupd8's search function seems to be fine.

[19:21] <comissarcube> Hi, guys! Could someone please help me a wee bit? I installed fglrx for my ATI card. Games now work well, but when I play videos in full screen they lag massively. Anyone got any suggestions?
[19:21] <Dr_willis> comissarcube,  what kind of videos? you mean flash in the browser?
[19:22] <comissarcube> yes precisely, sorry for not specifying
[19:22] <arunkumar413> hi, i just now installed mint 12 and trying to update but the update is very slow. My internet connection is very fast. what is the reason
[19:22] <aeon-ltd> !mint | arunkumar413
[19:22] <bazhang> arunkumar413, ask in mint support channels then
[19:22] <daswort> How to set up wakealarm for monday - friday? Cron doesn't work for that :-(
[19:23] <CharminTheMoose> What derivitives of ubuntu does this channel support?
[19:23] <ssta> In general most canonical supported ones
[19:23] <llutz> daswort:  00 05 * * 1-5 whatever to do
[19:23] <urfr332gO> CharminTheMoose, only ubuntu release 4 desktops in all.
[19:23] <Dr_willis> The Officially Canonical Supported ones.. :)
[19:24] <Dr_willis> Does Lubuntu count now a days or not? its sortof the little kid in the corner.
[19:24] <comissarcube> Dr_willis, yeah, flash in browser.
[19:24] <CharminTheMoose> Hmm interesting.
[19:24] <Dr_willis> comissarcube,  flash is a nasty beast. there may be some work arounds.. but i dont know of any.
[19:24] <ssta> Dr_willis: I'd say it counted
[19:24] <daswort> llutz, but then the computer need to start to set up wakealarm. Isn't it possible to set up this in wakealarm?
[19:24] <dlentz> Dr_willis, unless it's an lxde-specific question, this channel would probably work fine
[19:25] <CharminTheMoose> Anyway, I've got a webcam built into this laptop, what commands can I use to see what it is and thus load a driver for it? I got the webcam working fine with cheese before, but I can't recall how I did it.
[19:26] <dlentz> comissarcube, i've had success with flashvideoreplacer add-on (as long as videos play well in a native video player)
[19:26] <danyel> CharminTheMoose, you can try lsusb
[19:27] <comissarcube> dlentz, yeah that was ok, will take a look. Thanks!
[19:27] <darrenlooby> HI guys, I'm using Ubuntu on Rackspace - and it has both internal and external network cards. The internal network cards start with 10.xxx.xxx.xx - any externals never do. How can I use "ufw" to only accept connections from internal ips?
[19:27] <CharminTheMoose> danyel, all I get are Root hub usb and the card reader built into the lappy.
[19:27] <CharminTheMoose> dmesg and grepping for video or webcam turns up nothing either
[19:28] <Halexander9000> Hey, whenever I run the Update Manager and tell it to check for updates, I get this error http://pastebin.com/w5bfbG1N
[19:28] <Halexander9000> Can I solve it somehow?
[19:28] <Halexander9000> Could someone please tell me how to do it?
[19:29] <maujhsn> Does anybody know why mount points change from "/devsdb" to /dev/cdrom when booting from a liveUSB?
[19:29] <okum> hi, does anybody know if recordMyDesktop record audio from a mic?
[19:30] <maujhsn> okum Yes
[19:30] <TehSpecialOne> hi buddies!
[19:30] <okum> maujhsn: does it just record by default?
[19:30] <Oer> Halexander9000, i never seen the entry's with www.statux.org/
[19:30] <pyboy> Halexander9000 did you google the problem
[19:31] <maujhsn> okum I would use the pulseaudio server!
[19:31] <Halexander9000> http://www.statux.org/ ?
[19:32] <okum> maujhsn: what exactly is that?
[19:32] <maujhsn> Does anybody know why mount points change from "/devsdb" to /dev/cdrom when booting from a liveUSB?
[19:32] <Dr_willis> maujhsn,  those are device names. not mountpoints.  and often /dev/cdrom is a link to /dev/sdX
[19:32] <Dr_willis>  /media/whatever are mountpoints
[19:33] <Oer> Halexander9000, please paste your sources list >> /etc/apt/sources.list
[19:33] <maujhsn> Dr_willis Good hearing from you again!
[19:33] <skyball> why does the screen flash purple?  and why can't I just push 1 button to fix it?
[19:34] <darrenlooby> Anyone good with IP tables - or UFW?
[19:34] <xangua> Halexander9000: what Oer tried to say is that line doesn't look like an apt valid repository, so whatever you tried to do addin that line, undo it
[19:34] <theadmin> Dr_willis: /dev/cdrom is *never* a link to /dev/sdx, that'd be insane, it's commonly a link to /dev/sr0
[19:34] <maujhsn> okum If you do not have the Pulseaudio server installed I will not be able to help you sorry!
[19:34] <tyro> whats up?
[19:34] <Halexander9000> I did a cat /etc/apt/sources.list
[19:34] <Halexander9000> And this is what I got cat /etc/apt/sources.list
[19:34] <Halexander9000> Um, hold on.;
[19:34] <tyro> whats a good theme to use in ubuntu?
[19:34] <urfr332gO> !pastebin
[19:34] <Halexander9000> http://pastebin.com/tTjprW0H
[19:34] <Oer> xangua i am not sure it is not valid, that is why i like to compare
[19:34] <urfr332gO> Halexander9000, ^^^^
[19:34] <Dr_willis> theadmin,  i recall seeing some of my machines that use sr0 and others that use sdd or sdc - it may be differnt under newer kenels. but i have definatly seen it.
[19:35] <theadmin> Dr_willis: Crazy... I never had cdroms as sdX...
[19:35] <theadmin> Dr_willis: Weird. Oh well.
[19:35] <Halexander9000> What do I need to remove?
[19:35] <Dr_willis> theadmin,  it may be the old IDE cdroms
[19:35] <pyboy> Halexander9000 did you have any broken packages
[19:35] <Dr_willis> theadmin,  ages ago there was no sr0  I recall :) they were all sdXX
[19:35] <Halexander9000> What do you mean pyboy?
[19:35] <theadmin> Dr_willis: Ah... I didn't work with IDE devices for ages so yeah, would make sense
[19:35] <Dr_willis> then again i rember hd# also.
[19:36] <Ady> how to extract and install .dmg file?
[19:36] <Halexander9000> I got this message "Failed to download repository information/Check your Internet connection."
[19:36] <pyboy> Halexander9000 http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-common-gnome-3-issues-on-ubuntu-11-04-natty.html
[19:36] <theadmin> Ady: You can't, this isn't OS X
[19:36] <Dr_willis> i also recall when you were never sure if your HD was sdX or hdx :) formated the wrong disk once because of that.
[19:36] <wildcard> I just used Gparted from my flashdrive ubuntu 11.10, and reformatted my internal harddrive.  It says that 79.00 MiB were being used, does this mean that windows is still attach or is that just the bios?
[19:36] <ssta> Ady: .dmg is generally an OS X package
[19:36] <Ady> theadmin, oh ok ty
[19:36] <Oer> Halexander9000, oke here is the solution
[19:36] <Halexander9000> Pyboy, what are you talking about?
[19:36] <maujhsn> dr_willis My beef is this; I plug my usb into the same port religiuosly. The output in the Disk Utility use to read /dev/sdb now it reads /dev/cdrom why is that the case?
[19:36] <Dr_willis> Ady,  theres dmg to iso converters i recall. but that wont let you 'run' anything for os-x. just access the data.
[19:37] <Dr_willis> maujhsn,  perhaps a messed up link. i rarely use disk utility.
[19:37] <Dr_willis> maujhsn,  check dmesg command output. I HAVE seen some weird usb flash drives that are partioned where they show up as a cdrom and a usb hard disk.
[19:38] <Misha[]> Hey
[19:38] <Oer> Halexander9000, all you need is to get the pgp key >>" wget -q http://www.statux.org/ubuntu/key/statux.pub -O- | sudo apt-key add - " found at answer #3 >> http://vip.asus.com/forum/view.aspx?id=20091110101016812&SLanguage=en-us&board_id=20&model=Eee%20PC%201005HA&page=1
[19:38] <Dr_willis> I think it was those 'U3' flash drives that were popular a few years back.
[19:38] <maujhsn> dr_willis What can I do to force the device output to read /dev/sdb?
[19:38] <Dr_willis> maujhsn,  see what 'sudo fdisk -l' says about the disk.
[19:38] <maujhsn> OK
[19:39] <Dr_willis> maujhsn,  also a simple removal/reinsertion may let it rescan
[19:39] <maujhsn> dr_willis I should have thought about dmesg thanks! i check it out!
[19:39] <Misha[]> I have a problem with my webcam, its works on skype and on programs like cheese as well, but when I'm entering some site that uses flash to use my webcam, flash isn't see my webcam
[19:39] <Misha[]> any help?
[19:39] <Halexander9000> Oer, you're going to have to be a little more clear. You're saying I just need to type this " wget -q http://www.statux.org/ubuntu/key/statux.pub -O- | sudo apt-key add - " in terminal and it will solve the issue?
[19:39] <okum> hello, does anybody know how to enable compizconfig setting in ubuntu 11.10 w/ gnome classic?
[19:40] <okum> ^ like wobbly windows, etc?
[19:40] <Oer> Halexander9000, correct, then you perform update && upgrade
[19:41] <rich> hello
[19:41] <Halexander9000> Oer: Is it supposed to freeze?
[19:41] <Halexander9000> gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
[19:41] <okum> someones HAS to know how to enable features with compizconfig in ubuntu 11.10?
[19:41] <Oer> Halexander9000, yes, getting a key can take 10 sec
[19:41] <Halexander9000> Oer: gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
[19:41] <Dr_willis> okum,  may be a guide at askubuntu.com
[19:42] <Dr_willis> okum,  or the webupd8 blog site.
[19:42] <Dr_willis> okum,  or try a 'compiz --replace' in a terminal..
[19:42] <bazhang> okum, try in #compiz yet ?
[19:42] <Oer> Halexander9000, maybe the archiv is out of date, if found only old posts.
