[00:00] <Mandrew> will removing programs that im not using helping my computer work better and smother?
[00:00] <Colin969> Urgh
[00:00] <terry>    Mandrew no
[00:00] <Colin969> She gave me a MS Duo
[00:00] <Colin969> And not an SD..
[00:00] <StevenR> Mandrew: probably not.
[00:01] <Colin969> Aso DasEi, you reckon i can boot from my Built in Mem Card reader?
[00:01] <DasEi> Mandrew: rather disabling unneeded services, look at :
[00:01] <DasEi> !bum
[00:01] <pooltable> Linux 3.0 is here how do i know i am useing it?
[00:01] <Mandrew> thanks DasEi
[00:01] <StevenR> pooltable: uname -a
[00:02] <DasEi> pooltable: you won't until ppa/compile it, uname -a tells your version
[00:02] <Colin969> Aso DasEi, you reckon i can boot from my Built in Mem Card reader?
[00:02] <DasEi> Colin969: some work , others not, check if it's seen in bios
[00:03] <pooltable> <IP_ADDRESS>
[00:03] <Colin969> DasEi, Cant tell, theres quite a few though. ill hope.
[00:04] <montero61> Buenas tardes tengo una consulta , nesesito cambiar el compilador de la version mia de ubuntu
[00:04] <chipmonk> nautilus network tab shows places that don't exist and not shows places that do
[00:04] <chipmonk> do i have to resintall nautilus
[00:05] <jb007_> Maybe a silly question, but where do I register my nick?

[00:06] <rww> !es | montero61
[00:06] <jb007_> Thanks, I gave I type "/msg nickserv register <password> <email>" in this textbox here?
[00:07] <DasEi> jb007_: yes, and comprehensive help is in #freenode, see above given link
[00:07] <terry> jb007_: You can, but you really need to go to the status window to see what your doing.
[00:07] <WolfDogDesigns> Hey guys. Trying to install Ubuntu alongside Win7 on a new PC. getting the old "(initramfs) Unable to find a medium containing a live file system." error when trying to boot from cd. Tried 2 different ISO downloads on 2 diff CDs
[00:07] <chipmonk> Dasei what channel for nautilus help?
[00:08] <terry> WolfDogDesigns: What CD burning software did you use?
[00:08] <DasEi> chipmonk: can ask here
[00:08] <WolfDogDesigns> erm, Windows Disk Image Burner. .. all I have access to
[00:08] <chipmonk> did
[00:08] <chipmonk> no ans
[00:09] <chipmonk> nautilus network tab shows places that don't exist and not shows places that do
[00:09] <chipmonk> do i have to resintall nautilus
[00:09] <WolfDogDesigns> terry, something else I should use?
[00:09] <terry> WolfDogDesigns:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto
[00:09] <Jordan_U> WolfDogDesigns: It sounds like the kernel has problems with your particular CDROM drive. Try installing via a flash drive.
[00:10] <iLogic> anyone knows if ubuntu has a pdf reader that supports highlighting?
[00:10] <W43372> I'm trying to recover a deleted folder of pictures and I'm having an issue with scalpel recovering it.
[00:10] <WolfDogDesigns> Jordan_U, dont have one :/
[00:11] <WolfDogDesigns> terry, it suggests windows image burner should be fine, ill give it a go with the alternative though
[00:11] <YankDownUnder> WolfDogDesigns, Use a CD/DVD cleaner in the drive, try again. If anything, burn a new copy of the ISO at a slower speed to make sure it's done correctly.
[00:12] <Aylin_CD> r
[00:12] <Jordan_U> WolfDogDesigns: I doubt that using another burning program will make any difference.
[00:12] <chipmonk> good suggestion yank always burn at slowest speed
[00:13] <WolfDogDesigns> im dling InfraRecorder which should let me set burn speed. Win Image Burner doesnt let you adjust anything
[00:13] <YankDownUnder> Jordan_U, SLOWER SPEED...as well, every month you should clean your CD/DVD drive...dust IS the enemy...
[00:13] <Jordan_U> WolfDogDesigns: The minimal install CD should work.  Free, always works, small, and just always works. ;)
[00:14] <Jordan_U> WolfDogDesigns: Can you be connected to the internet via ethernet while installing?
[00:14] <WolfDogDesigns> yeah, its got ethernet connection
[00:15] <Jordan_U> WolfDogDesigns: Then the minimal install CD *will* work for you.
[00:15] <W43372> Trying to recover a deleted folder. What do?
[00:15] <Jordan_U> !minimal | WolfDogDesigns
[00:15] <Jordan_U> !undelete | W43372
[00:19] <aikInsaan> what's the best way to run MSie in ubuntu? wine?
[00:20] <terry> aikInsaan: What do you need IE for?
[00:20] <Jordan_U> aikInsaan: Wine can only run up to IE6 (and IE7's rendering engine within IE6's chrome).
[00:20] <aikInsaan> by best i mean tried and tested
[00:20] <chipmonk> thx for the help
[00:21] <aikInsaan> as much as i hate ie...there are a few web apps that i use which only run on ie
[00:21] <terry> aikInsaan: Best to run IE under MS Windows
[00:21] <Jordan_U> aikInsaan: Have you tried changing user agent?
[00:21] <aikInsaan> i can change user agent for chromium???
[00:21] <cyperbg> guys I need help setting SSH with public/private keys - Ive followed different turorials and I always get Server refused our key
[00:21] <cyperbg> please help
[00:21] <terry> aikInsaan: Try firefox
[00:22] <xiamx> I have a partition created for /home, I want to move all /home files mounted on / to the enw partition, will cp -a work? Do it need to run checksum?
[00:22] <Jordan_U> !separatehome | xiamx
[00:22] <terry> xiamx: cp -ar will work
[00:23] <xiamx> Jordan_U, terry, thanks
[00:24] <terry> xiamx: You should rename the other one /old-home and then create the fstab entry for separate /home and reboot to see if everytihng is ok before deleting /old-home
[00:24] <uw_> hi is anyoen on here familar with netboot?
[00:24] <terry> xiamx: But read the info Jordan_U sent you for more details.
[00:25] <xiamx> terry, alright
[00:25] <pooltable> how do i look at the redecuation on the ubuntu software center?
[00:25] <uw_> or network installs
[00:26] <pooltable> got it
[00:26] <WolfDogDesigns> Right. Im gonna try the new burn. Thanks a lot for the help guys
[00:28] <cyperbg> :)
[00:31] <stercor> Where does Ubuntu set the final PATH variable?  The one that the user uses.
[00:31] <pooltable> where to find chat about amd fx?
[00:31] <Jordan_U> pooltable: "redecuation"?
[00:32] <pooltable> jordan u nm i got it
[00:32] <stercor> pooltable: #hardware, perhaps?
[00:33] <terry> stercor: Are you wanting to add to your PATH?
[00:33] <stercor> terry: yes.
[00:34] <pooltable> thanks stercor
[00:34] <stercor> pooltable: That assumes that AMD is a chip and fx is a part of that chip.
[00:34] <terry> PATH="$PATH:/home/stercor/bin
[00:34] <terry> PATH="$PATH:/home/stercor/bin"
[00:34] <pooltable> ok what about fluxbox how to comfig it ?
[00:35] <stercor> terry: I don't want to do that every time I login/boot.  There must be some place where Ubuntu sets it.
[00:35] <terry> stercor: And to see what it now includes:  $PATH
[00:36] <terry> stercor: You don't have to do it every time  you boot.  Just do it once.
[00:36] <stercor> terry: I have to do it with each new window I open...
[00:36] <DeviceZer0> any anyone tell me what the default theme is for unity? I moved my old home folder over and now unity looks all weird and trying to use my old homes theme and settings
[00:37] <terry> stercor: What are you talking about?
[00:37] <terry> stercor: You need to tell us what it is exactly you are wanting to do.
[00:38] <stercor> terry: I need to have the system put an extra directory (actually, two) into the PATH variable on boot-up or login.
[00:38] <pooltable> stercor the next new FX 8 core
[00:38]  * stercor know nothing of hardware, only software.
[00:39] <terry> stercor: And this is where you have executable files?
[00:39] <stercor> terry: Yes.
[00:39] <stercor> terry: rc.local?
[00:39] <terry> stercor: Why not just put them in /home/stercor/bin   (All of them.)
[00:40] <stercor> terry: The executables?
[00:40] <terry> stercor: Are you sure it is $PATH options you are after?
[00:40] <stercor> terry: Yes
[00:41] <terry> stercor: Well then yes, you set the $PATH for executables.  That is all it is for.
[00:41] <terry> stercor: So why don't you tell us what it is you really want to do.
[00:43] <stercor> terry: I want the system to provide the correct PATH to get to my executables by prepending/postpending the directories on to the PATH variable.  I don't want to do it manually every time I want to use an executable.  That is madness.  Surely Ubuntu has a place to set the PATH variable that the user (any user) uses.
[00:44] <edbian> stercor: Put your executables in the correct place
[00:44] <terry> stercor: As I just told you;  You do NOT have to do it every time you boot.  Ok?
[00:44] <edbian> or at least symlink them iectplace
[00:44] <stercor> Oh, forget it.  I'll find it myself.  All of the solutions are "Band-Aids" that don't address the problem.
[00:44] <iLogic> the fact that linux has no software capable of making highlights in pdfs makes me sad :(
[00:44] <YankDownUnder> stercor, /etc/profile
[00:45] <stercor> YankDownUnder: Now we're getting somewhere!
[00:45] <YankDownUnder> iLogic, Research before you complain?
[00:45] <iLogic> YankDownUnder: I did, actually..
[00:45] <YankDownUnder> stercor, Just make sure you make a backup of the /etc/profile before you hose the entire system.
[00:45] <terry> as edbian suggest, symlinks are good.  Just place your executables in ~/bin/  and symlink them to /usr/bin or where ever else you want, (that's already in your path).
[00:46] <stercor> YankDownUnder: Good advice!
[00:46] <iLogic> YankDownUnder: only acrobat reader, and if was previously enabled by acrobat pro which costs a billion bucks
[00:46] <YankDownUnder> iLogic, There are always alternatives.
[00:47] <maum> hello
[00:47] <iLogic> YankDownUnder: yep, very lame ones.. :(
[00:47] <maum> how can I calibrate touch screen?
[00:47] <maum> on ubuntu 11.04
[00:47] <terry> stercor: They are not band-aids.  It is the way it's done.  You just don't understand the system.
[00:48] <terry> stercor: Have you looked at what you have in your path now?
[00:48] <stercor> terry: yes
[00:48] <YankDownUnder> iLogic, Ya know, there is something called "Crossover Office" by Codeweavers (www.codeweavers.com) that will allow you to run MS programs in a basically native environment (meaning on linux)
[00:48] <terry> stercor: Ok, well what do you need to add to it?
[00:49] <terry> stercor: And what do you have against using symlinks?
[00:49] <stercor> terry: And I know how to set PATH=blah:$PATH or PATH=$PATH:blah
[00:49] <terry> stercor: Then what is the problem?
[00:49] <edbian> stercor: Changing the path variable is not the correct solution.
[00:50] <pooltable> what is the commane to find out what video card i have?
[00:50] <terry> stercor: It is a very simple orderly system.  What else do you need?
[00:50] <pooltable> command
[00:50] <bazhang> pooltable, lspci
[00:51] <edbian> pooltable: sudo lspci -k    (I like the -k to tell me what drivers are being used)
[00:51] <iLogic> YankDownUnder: yeah.. seems like I'm stuck with pdf x-change in wine, but it's very lame not having one single native app that is able to do such easy task
[00:51] <iLogic> YankDownUnder: if not easy, popular..
[00:51] <YankDownUnder> iLogic, Then bitch at Adobe for locking down their legalities in such a way as to keep their stuff extremely proprietary.
[00:52] <pooltable> bazhang thanks
[00:52] <terry> stercor: Just mkdir ~/bin  and put your new executables there.  From that point, you have the option of adding it to your $PATH or symlink to some dir that is already in your path. It is as simple as that.
[00:52] <edbian> pooltable: :(
[00:52] <pooltable> edbian yes?
[00:52] <edbian> pooltable: I helped too :(
[00:53] <pooltable> edbian way :(??
[00:53]  * edbian looks sheepish
[00:53] <pooltable> sorry edbian thanks
[00:53] <edbian> pooltable: it's ok
[00:53] <pooltable> sorry edbian yes your is more info thanks
[00:54] <edbian> pooltable: Yay! \o/
[00:54] <Infernet> lol
[00:56] <OogyPoogy> Hi all. Any recommendations on the best way to share an external Harddrive plugged into my Ubuntu box over a home network (other computers running Win7)?
[00:56] <terry> OogyPoogy: samba
[00:57] <edbian> OogyPoogy: samba is pretty much your only option.  It is hard to configure though
[00:57] <OogyPoogy> Samba, eh?
[00:57] <terry> OogyPoogy: nfs is great, but is for Linux, (not MS Windows)
[00:57] <OogyPoogy> I installed Samba from the Software center, but it doesn't seem to have registered an icon in my menu system
[00:57] <YankDownUnder> Um...there ARE NFS clients for MS Windows...(not that they're good, but they do exist)
[00:57] <terry> OogyPoogy: You have to configure it.,
[00:58] <OogyPoogy> terry: if it changes anything, the external harddrive is formatted as fat32
[00:58] <terry> !samba | OogyPoogy
[00:58] <edbian> OogyPoogy: You probably installed the client not the server
[00:58] <terry> OogyPoogy: fat32 is fine, doens't matter.
[00:58] <OogyPoogy> ebian: ahhhh
[00:59] <edbian> OogyPoogy: ahh indeed
[00:59] <OogyPoogy> Ohh, its in the Admin menu
[00:59] <terry> OogyPoogy: sudo apt-get install samba
[00:59] <edbian> also that
[01:01] <edbian> nobody needs help?!
[01:01] <edbian> How about some wifi cards!
[01:01] <OogyPoogy> terry: I think I have both server and client installed. There is a GUI that pops up for "Server Configuration"
[01:01] <terry> edbian: I've got mine.
[01:01] <OogyPoogy> I guess its as "simple" as adding a Share
[01:01] <OogyPoogy> ?
[01:01] <OogyPoogy> ;)
[01:01] <edbian> terry: :)
[01:02] <edbian> OogyPoogy: ha, yeah right.  Are you on the right workgroup?  Is the samba server running right now?  What user's can access the share you set?
[01:03] <OogyPoogy> edbian: haha :) Do I not define the workgroup when making the share? I've set up a user/pass for logging in. How can I check to see if the Samba server is running?
[01:03] <edbian> OogyPoogy: ps -e | grep samba    will tell if it's running.
[01:03] <OogyPoogy> edbian: thanks for that!
[01:03] <edbian> OogyPoogy: The workgroup (afaik) is in the config file in /etc/
[01:04] <edbian> OogyPoogy: I have never been clear about the users.  Do the windows user names get sent to the samba server or does the server just see 'samba' the local linux user trying to access stuff?  IDK
[01:04] <YankDownUnder> /etc/samba/smb.conf
[01:04] <OogyPoogy> edbian: I typed that command and literally nothing happened. just popped up to the next prompt
[01:04] <edbian> OogyPoogy: That means it isn't running.
[01:05] <edbian> OogyPoogy: ps -e lists all running processes   | grep filters stuff  We filtered for the word 'samba'
[01:05] <OogyPoogy> edbian: ahh.... hehe.  I do
[01:05] <YankDownUnder> "smbd" is what you want to look for.
[01:05] <OogyPoogy> YankDownUnder, as the process listed or is that the filename?
[01:05] <edbian> OogyPoogy: ~/.samba is the per user config     There is a system config file (for the server) in /etc somehwere
[01:06] <edbian> OogyPoogy: grepping for the right filter might help
[01:06] <OogyPoogy> oh, i see.
[01:06] <edbian> OogyPoogy: That's the process
[01:06] <YankDownUnder> OogyPoogy, To restart samba, /etc/init.d/smbd restart
[01:06] <YankDownUnder> When looking for it, try: ps - Ae | grep smbd
[01:06] <OogyPoogy> YankDownUnder, thanks! Very much appreciate the help here!
[01:07] <YankDownUnder> ;)
[01:09] <OogyPoogy> Is it possible to accidentally have duplicate processes running? I have smbd listed twice: http://pastebin.com/qtSA5zq7
[01:09] <YankDownUnder> OogyPoogy, That's cool. Don't worry. Be happy.
[01:09] <OogyPoogy> YankDownUnder, Mr. McFerrin!
[01:09] <edbian> OogyPoogy: It likely doesn't matter.  Especially if you plan to reboot
[01:10] <OogyPoogy> since you guys are especially helpful, I'll take the opportunity to ask: is there an equivalent Linux/Ubuntu program that tweaks startup settings and cleans unused files like CCleaner for WIndows?
[01:11] <OogyPoogy> Or is that not even a necessity by virtue of the Linux architecture?
[01:11] <YankDownUnder> It's not a worry in linux => unless you specifically don't want certain services or programs from starting...otherwise, it's not necessary.
[01:11] <edbian> OogyPoogy: They're unnecessary.
[01:11] <iLogic> my netbook has no page up or down keys, anyone knows if there is a way to use function + up and down or something instead?
[01:11] <OogyPoogy> As an off-topic, has anyone seen that crazy 16-year old girl who married that 53 your-old actor? She looks like she's on *major* drugs during her interview
[01:12] <OogyPoogy> iLogic, perhaps it can be mapped?
[01:12] <YankDownUnder> iLogic, I'd look through the keymappings and keyboard layouts => as well, dig through the Ubuntu forums as I'm quite certain someone with your same machine has ran across the same issue.
[01:12] <iLogic> no success so far..
[01:12] <th0r> iLogic: you can use xev to determine keycodes and xmodmap to fix the issue. Google xmodmap for more details
[01:13] <YankDownUnder> iLogic, ...patience is a virtue.
[01:13] <JayB> How do I install the cure font from artwiz to be systemwide? ubuntu 11.04
[01:13] <Carpe|Diem> can somebody tell me whats the latest stable kernel in Ubuntu?
[01:13] <Snooffy> !kernel
[01:14] <OogyPoogy> When Ubuntu gets upgraded and Gnome 2 is removed, do you think there will be a way to reinstall it? I really can't get used to Unity for some reason...
[01:14] <edbian> OogyPoogy: I'm not sure you'll be able to get gnome2 in the future.  gnome3 definitely.  What you might want to look at is xfce
[01:14] <th0r> OogyPoogy: you might want to consider debian at that point
[01:14] <Carpe|Diem> Snooffy: i don't see a version on there?
[01:15] <Snooffy> yeah sorry:D
[01:15]  * edbian uses Debian
[01:15] <Snooffy> !stable
[01:15] <OogyPoogy> th0r, is Debian as user-friendly as Ubuntu?
[01:15] <edbian> That's what he says for stable?
[01:15] <edbian> OogyPoogy: no
[01:16] <OogyPoogy> edbian: is there a way to emulate the menu dropdown on Gnome 3?
[01:16] <Snooffy> it must be there under something..
[01:16] <edbian> OogyPoogy: I don't know what feature you're talking about.
[01:16] <Carpe|Diem> somebody give me the output of uname -a on an updates ubuntu system
[01:16] <edbian> Snooffy: hahaha
[01:16] <OogyPoogy> edbian: so, I'm effectively being booted of Ubuntu if I don't like Unity? Wow.
[01:16] <Carpe|Diem> updated*
[01:16] <YankDownUnder> OogyPoogy, Gnome3. Egads. There *is* a tweak tool that can make Gnome3 nearly like Gnome2...
[01:16] <edbian> OogyPoogy: what? no!  You can use gnome3, kde, xfce, or like a dozen others
[01:16] <edbian> egads
[01:16] <OogyPoogy> edbian: the application dropdown list
[01:17] <OogyPoogy> YankDownUnder, how come everyone hates the traditional menu so much? :)
[01:17] <Carpe|Diem> uname -a?
[01:17] <Carpe|Diem> anyone?
[01:17] <edbian> OogyPoogy: This: http://www.tuxmachines.org/images/fedora15_gnome3-activities-applications.jpg   ??
[01:18] <Snooffy> 2.6.32-33
[01:18] <szal> Carpe|Diem: define 'updated ubuntu system'
[01:18] <OogyPoogy> Unity looks like an iPhone Os, but there is no touchscreen!
[01:18] <Snooffy> lucid though
[01:18] <Carpe|Diem> szal: the latest ubuntu release fully updates to the latest kernel
[01:18] <Carpe|Diem> szal: i just want to know the newest ubutnu kernel number
[01:18] <Carpe|Diem> zz
[01:18] <YankDownUnder> OogyPoogy, They don't hate it, they "decided via corporate thought" that it was no longer important - that goes for the Unity team and the Gnome3 team. They're trying to emulate the "smartphone" and "netbook" mentality.
[01:18] <szal> Linux zalle 2.6.38-10-generic #46-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jun 28 15:07:17 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[01:18] <szal> @ Carpe|Diem
[01:18] <Carpe|Diem> kk
[01:19] <Carpe|Diem> hmm
[01:19] <Snooffy> Carpe|Diem: what about this? http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/pending-sru.html
[01:19] <edbian> OogyPoogy: So does gnome3 imo
[01:19] <szal> Natty
[01:19] <OogyPoogy> edbian: what you posted looks like an iPhone Os too!
[01:19] <OogyPoogy> YankDownUnder, but I don't get it. What if you don't use a touchscreen device?
[01:20] <Carpe|Diem> ty
[01:20] <edbian> OogyPoogy: I posted gnome3
[01:20] <OogyPoogy> edbian: so even Gnome is losing the listed menus? Oh no...
[01:20] <edbian> OogyPoogy: gnome3 is very new
[01:20] <edbian> OogyPoogy: again, look at xfce
[01:21] <YankDownUnder> OogyPoogy, Well, the apparent corporate paradigm is more important than what YOU think. Apparently.
[01:21] <OogyPoogy> God, why can't they at least keep it like they do in Ubuntu - I use Ubuntu "classic" interface.
[01:21] <OogyPoogy> I've tried XFCE, but for some reason, the rendering isn't smooth like the stock Ubuntu setup.
[01:21] <sw0rdfish> hey guys how can I take a screenshot in firefox of a very long page in one time
[01:21] <OogyPoogy> it looks like windows 3.1 to me.
[01:21] <sw0rdfish> get it? like no need to take half then scroll down take another ss
[01:22] <rww> Much as I dislike the various GNOME user interfaces, can we bring the channel back to Ubuntu technical support please?
[01:22] <YankDownUnder> sw0rdfish, Why don't you just "Print to file" => choose PDF as the output? Works great, ya know...
[01:22] <OogyPoogy> rww: Sorry
[01:22] <apollosix> KDE is worth another look. But in unity hide the side bar and run a dock. I know it's a bit mac but the cairo dock kills unity dock.
[01:22] <edbian> sw0rdfish: I get what you're asking.  Tough question.
[01:22] <sw0rdfish> YankDownUnder, print to file? you say... lol let me try and find that :)
[01:22] <edbian> sw0rdfish: Try saving the page and converting it somehow.  That's my best guess
[01:22] <infobit> ya its a good one as YankDownUnder said save it as Pdf serch on google for help

[01:23] <edbian> sw0rdfish: Print the file is a great idea
[01:23] <sw0rdfish> edbian someone just told me there's a plugin for firefox for that :D
[01:23] <edbian> sw0rdfish: there ya go!
[01:23] <OogyPoogy> th0r: could you show me?  Just freezes on shutdown command?
[01:25] <OogyPoogy> th0r: imgur.com?
[01:26] <edbian> th0r: OogyPoogy imageshack.us for pics
[01:26] <infobit> YankDownUnder, this is not a place for humour
[01:26] <edbian> apollosix: What if you sudo shutdown now
[01:26] <YankDownUnder> infobit, HOW WELL I KNOW.
[01:26] <sw0rdfish> edbian, my friend found me this https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/screengrab/
[01:27] <sw0rdfish> edbian, so if you guys wanna add it to ubuttu or something feel free to :)
[01:27] <edbian> sw0rdfish: :)

[01:29] <edbian> OogyPoogy: It's actually just me messing the letters up.  An anagram can be read upside and upside right.
[01:29] <YankDownUnder> 1/2 anagram...
[01:30] <OogyPoogy> edbian: oh, I thought an anagram was a new word resulting from rearrangement, not symmetry.    Via Synaptic?
[01:35] <tripelb> http://grigio.org/textmate_gedit_few_steps  is this a good thing to do. I wanted something like "TextEdit" on the Mac.
[01:36] <OogyPoogy> edbian: you a redditor? :)
[01:36] <edbian> OogyPoogy: No, stumble
[01:36] <th0r> OogyPoogy: yes, just load xfce4 and thunar. there are other parts to xfce (xfburn, ristretto, etc) but those two will ge tyou started
[01:36] <edbian> tripelb: what do you mean by 'good' ?
[01:36] <OogyPoogy> edbian: what DE are you using?
[01:36] <aikInsaan> is vmware-server available in the partners archive under  a different name by any chance?
[01:36] <edbian> OogyPoogy: http://imageshack.us/f/841/screenshot1gj.png/   no rage comic
[01:36] <OogyPoogy> th0r: Thanks, I'll install now.
[01:37] <th0r> OogyPoogy: after installing xfce4, log out and at the login screen Session menu choose xfce
[01:37] <OogyPoogy> th0r, will do.
[01:38] <tripelb> edbian, I was looking for trouble. Not. I wanted to know if anyone has some experience with this. I only want safe stuff. But some more functionality (font styles, sizes - pasting in a pic) would be welcome.
[01:38] <edbian> tripelb: I've never used it.  Since it doesn't come from the repos it's a good idea you're asking around though.
[01:38] <mystiqueba> hey guys, I forgot my nickserv password, how do I restore it?
[01:38] <blackhawk> hi,anyone know of an app that could monitor the temps of the cpu,hdd..and so on
[01:39] <rww> !lm-sensors | blackhawk
[01:39] <rww> mystiqueba: ask #freenode
[01:39] <mystiqueba> rww, thanks
[01:39] <YankDownUnder> OogyPoogy, edbian Here y'all go: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/50
[01:39] <blackhawk> thanks :) that was fast :)
[01:39] <aikInsaan> anyone running vmware on natty?
[01:40] <edbian> YankDownUnder: interesting.  A 404 error
[01:40] <OogyPoogy> edbian: not seeing the second link
[01:40] <OogyPoogy> Oh, god damn it. The wife is calling from downstairs.
[01:40] <OogyPoogy> Why can't i just get some alone time?
[01:40] <tripelb> mystiqueba, /join #nickserv led me to #freenode so I think that's the place to ask.
[01:40] <edbian> YankDownUnder: very meta
[01:40] <OogyPoogy> Later everyone, and thank for the help.
[01:40] <edbian> OogyPoogy: pardon?
[01:41] <\bMike\b> I just accidentally created a new partition table on a HDD I was using. Can I recover or recreate it from the filesystem data that's still on the disk?
[01:41] <OogyPoogy> oh, i'm still here...i thought my connection died
[01:41] <cyperbg> I still can't make a script run at after Reboot
[01:41] <cyperbg> please help
[01:41] <\bMike\b> cyperbg: which script
[01:41] <cyperbg> well it's a custom script
[01:41] <OogyPoogy> YankDownUnder, 404 error here
[01:42] <\bMike\b> cyperbg: what language?
[01:42] <cyperbg> whicj when executed from Terminal works
[01:42] <OogyPoogy> edbian: did my message get cut off?
[01:42] <cyperbg> \bMike\b, I'm not sure but it contain If else clauses
[01:42] <edbian> OogyPoogy: You didn't get my second link?
[01:42] <cyperbg> it's called startmining.sh
[01:42] <OogyPoogy> edbian: no, I clicked, but it wouldn't open. I think it was because me connection died. Let me try again
[01:42] <\bMike\b> cyperbg: that's a shell script (because of the .sh, not because of if...else - nearly every language has if...else)
[01:43] <edbian> cyperbg: bit-coin or minecraft?
[01:43] <cyperbg>  cyperbg bitcoin
[01:43] <OogyPoogy> it won't open
[01:43] <cyperbg> edbian I meant
[01:43] <cyperbg> it's bitcoin
[01:43] <\bMike\b> cyperbg: what is the first line of the script?
[01:43] <edbian> cyperbg: You put the script in /etc/init.d   ?
[01:44] <OogyPoogy> Shit. my wife is pissed. bRB
[01:44] <cyperbg> Yes, I tried that
[01:44] <mystiqueba> tripelb, thanks
[01:44] <cyperbg> edbian
[01:44] <edbian> cyperbg: and you ran update-rc.d   on it?
[01:44] <edbian> cyperbg: and it starts with #!/bin/bash    ?
[01:44] <cyperbg> I don't know what tha is so no
[01:45] <YankDownUnder> OogyPoogy, edbian http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/992/2372011screenshot.jpg
[01:45] <cyperbg> edbian according to this link I should put my script in /etc/init.d/rc.local  file - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RcLocalHowto
[01:45] <edbian> YankDownUnder: I liked 404 error better
[01:45] <edbian> cyperbg: that works too
[01:45] <YankDownUnder> edbian, Hehehehe...me too...
[01:46] <KM0201> YankDownUnder: dual screens for the win!.. :_
[01:46] <cyperbg> but reading that file decription it says: Run /etc/rc.local if it exist
[01:46] <edbian> YankDownUnder: you monitor must be 10 feet wide
[01:46] <cyperbg> so then which one I put it in?
[01:46] <cyperbg> edbian
[01:46] <YankDownUnder> cyperbg, Just add what you wish in the /etc/rc.local and that's easy enough.
[01:46] <edbian> cyperbg: either one
[01:46] <YankDownUnder> edbian, Two monitors, 24" each.
[01:46] <cyperbg> YankDownUnder I tried, it ain't working
[01:46] <edbian> cyperbg: /etc/rc.local is probably easier.  What line are you putting in there?
[01:46] <edbian> YankDownUnder: nice
[01:46] <cyperbg> edbian one moment I'll tell you
[01:47] <edbian> cyperbg: k
[01:47] <cyperbg> edbian I put /home/cyper/Autominer/startmining.sh before exit 0
[01:47] <cyperbg> would it be better to put:
[01:47] <cyperbg> cd /home/cyper/Autominer
[01:47] <cyperbg> ./startmining.sh
[01:47] <edbian> cyperbg: no
[01:48] <cyperbg> so the first one is not woring too
[01:48] <edbian> cyperbg: can root run that script?  cause root will.
[01:48] <cyperbg> edbian I run it with sudo
[01:48] <cyperbg> it runs fine
[01:48] <edbian> cyperbg: mmmm...
[01:49] <edbian> cyperbg: do this sudo /etc/init.d/rc.local
[01:49] <cyperbg> edbian this script starts mining on my 4 cards, but btw now it started cause I can hear my machine running louder, but there are no screens to attached
[01:49] <edbian> cyperbg: Does the bitcoin script start?
[01:49] <econdudeawesome> Howdy all. I'm having a real problem. My updates are all funky with the last kernel update: linux-image-generic, linux-image-2.6.38-10-generic. apt-get and aptitude fail. What can I do?
[01:50] <edbian> cyperbg: Ummm, we need a more object test of it running.  Use ps -e | grep mining   or something
[01:50] <cyperbg> edbian disgregard my last comment
[01:50] <cyperbg> it worked
[01:50] <edbian> cyperbg: oh good!
[01:50] <cyperbg> so let's try  sudo /etc/init.d/rc.local
[01:50] <cyperbg> the screens worked
[01:50] <edbian> cyperbg: ok
[01:51] <cyperbg> Usage: /etc/init.d/rc.local start|stop so I'll do sudo /etc/init.d/rc.local stop
[01:51] <cyperbg> right?
[01:51] <cyperbg> start I meant
[01:51] <edbian> cyperbg: sure
[01:51] <cyperbg> sudo /etc/init.d/rc.local start works
[01:51] <renaldocreative> Hello everyone
[01:51] <cyperbg> my script starts
[01:52] <edbian> renaldocreative: hello
[01:52] <cyperbg> so why then doesn't it start after reboot?
[01:52] <edbian> cyperbg: I do not know.
[01:52] <cyperbg> edbian any other ideas
[01:52] <edbian> cyperbg: perhaps it is and it takes time for the fans on the cards to spin up
[01:52] <cyperbg> I really need this
[01:52] <cyperbg> no they spin in a matter of 10-15 seconds - I can hear the difference
[01:52] <econdudeawesome> errors can be found here: http://pastebin.com/sQXaU8S8
[01:52] <edbian> cyperbg: reboot and run ps -e | grep mining
[01:52] <YankDownUnder> cyperbg, Um...did you put your stuff AFTER the "exit 0" or before the "exit 0" in the /etc/rc.local?
[01:52] <cyperbg> before
[01:53] <YankDownUnder> cyperbg, Just checking for 'ID10T' errors mate.
[01:53] <cyperbg> no worries mate :)(
[01:53] <cyperbg> met me restart and try
[01:55] <cyperbg> edbian ps -e | grep mining does not display anything
[01:55] <cyperbg> no erros
[01:55] <cyperbg> just a new line
[01:56] <cyperbg> YankDownUnder any ideas?
[01:56] <JRWR> join #ubuntu-server
[01:56] <infobit> renaldocreative, hi whats up
[01:56] <edbian> cyperbg: then it isn't running
[01:56] <edbian> very strange
[01:56] <JRWR> crap
[01:56] <YankDownUnder> cyperbg, How are you calling this script mate? Are you calling it from the /etc/rc/local?
[01:56] <edbian> JRWR: ha
[01:56] <cyperbg> sudo /etc/init.d/rc.local start works again
[01:57] <lg> help
[01:57] <edbian> cyperbg: very strange
[01:57] <cyperbg> YankDownUnder no the scrips is in my home folder
[01:57] <edbian> lg: what is your issue?
[01:57] <cyperbg> the script
[01:57] <lg> no thanks
[01:57] <edbian> lg: ?
[01:58] <cyperbg> anyone else?
[01:58] <pieces029> Hey I am trying to install a python module to my home directory because I don't have sudo on the system I'm on.  When I do python setup.py install I get an error that the directory doesn't support .pth files.  Can anyone help me with this problem or suggest another way around this?  Thanks
[01:58] <cyperbg> I'm stuck
[01:58] <YankDownUnder> cyperbg, Right - now we're getting somewhere!!! Right - SO, since it's YOUR script in YOUR home dir, what you'd want to do is add it to the "Startup Applications" mate...easy AS! ;)
[01:58] <edbian> YankDownUnder: he wants it to run when the system turn on.
[01:59] <cyperbg> YankDownUnder I did that but the script has var/log/Autominer.log and it gets access denied
[01:59] <edbian> YankDownUnder: And it should it it's in /etc/init.d/rc.local
[01:59] <cyperbg> it works - but can't write to the log
[01:59] <cyperbg> and it is important to have access to the log
[01:59] <rewati> hi there i have broadcom wireless card and installed broadcom sta kernel source from synaptic and restarted my computer still no wireless
[01:59] <edbian> pieces029: put the python module source code in the same dir as the program you're writing
[01:59] <cyperbg> edbian adding it to Startup appication works - it just can't write to the log
[01:59] <edbian> cyperbg: Yeah.  It SHOULD work being called from /etc/init.d/local
[02:00] <pieces029> edbian: Ok I'll give that a try
[02:00] <cyperbg> edbian you mean /etc/init.d/rc.local?
[02:01] <blackhawk> lm-sensors applets won't work in unity right?
[02:01] <blackhawk> anything else?
[02:01] <edbian> cyperbg: put the script in /etc/init.d/ and then run sudo update-rc.d on it
[02:01] <cyperbg> ok I'll try
[02:02] <cyperbg> edbian you mean moving the file?
[02:02] <edbian> cyperbg: or copy it
[02:03] <cyperbg> edbian I'm going to try something else first: move the log file to the same dir as the script
[02:03] <edbian> cyperbg: I'm not SURE it needs to be in /etc/init.d/   but put it there to be safe
[02:03] <cyperbg> and then I can add it to Startup and it will work
[02:03] <edbian> cyperbg: Just change the permissions of the log file.
[02:03] <edbian> cyperbg: But it will only run when you log in then.
[02:03] <edbian> cyperbg: where's the other way it starts when the computer starts
[02:03] <cyperbg> edbian I login automatically
[02:03] <cyperbg> that is not a problem
[02:03] <edbian> cyperbg: Well there ya go then!
[02:04] <cyperbg> how do I change the permission to write from user?
[02:04] <\bMike\b> cyperbg: chmod
[02:04] <edbian> cyperbg: sudo chown you:you /path/to/log/file  would work too
[02:05] <cyperbg> \bMike\b I know it's chmod, but I don't know what to write after it
[02:05] <pieces029> edbian: so there is c++ files in there as well should I compile those first?
[02:05] <C_Smith> okay, my sound system is refusing to respond, I go to change my volume, and I can't, I click on sound preferences, it pops up a windows saying "Waiting for sound system to respond", and it doesn't stop.
[02:05] <cyperbg> edbian i'll try
[02:05] <edbian> pieces029: Is the module not pure python?
[02:05] <C_Smith> anything I can try>
[02:05] <C_Smith> *?
[02:05] <C_Smith> mind you, I just updated my kernel to 3.0
[02:06] <pieces029> edbian: no, its pyopencl, so it's a wrapper to open cl
[02:06] <edbian> pieces029: Then you'll have to compile the C++ code.  If it's part of the module.
[02:06] <edbian> gotta go!
[02:09] <cyperbg> edbian I put it in /etc/init.d
[02:09] <cyperbg> but how do I run sudo update-rc.d
[02:09] <C_Smith> eh, screw it, I'll go back to 2.6.38
[02:09] <cyperbg> what follows after
[02:09] <C_Smith> Edbien isn't here anymore, he has said "gotta go"
[02:10] <cyperbg> there is help, but I can't seem to understand it
[02:10] <C_Smith> cyberbg, Edbien isn't here.
[02:10] <cyperbg> C_Smith 10x
[02:10] <cyperbg> I don't see quits
[02:11] <grendal-prime> hey what do i need installed to be able to use sftp through the kde file browser?
[02:11] <C_Smith> I'm scrolling up just a little bit and seeing that Ebien has left.
[02:11] <C_Smith> *Edbien
[02:11] <grendal-prime> thougt it was kioserver
[02:12] <C_Smith> well, since I can't get help with my issue, I'll just go back to 2.6.38-10-generic
[02:12] <C_Smith> as my kernel

[02:26] <hamed> hi i am xubuntu      In order to run Ardesia you need to enable a composite manager
[02:26] <hamed> how can i enable composite manager ?
[02:26] <wols_> hamed: glxinfo |grep direct
[02:28] <wols_> hamed: and read http://code.google.com/p/ardesia/wiki/FAQ the section Can I use Ardesia on Linux without a composite manager?
[02:30] <razz11> when creating a USB stick with dd to install OS does the USB drive needs to be formatted, or does it matter it's got another OS ISO on it?
[02:31] <wols_> the USB stick doesn't need to have a filesystem
[02:32] <DasEi> razz11: for the live's being dd'able no need to pre-format
[02:33] <razz11> wols_: DasEi: I thought so, dd is at block level isn't it?
[02:33] <DasEi> yes
[02:34] <razz11> wols_: DasEi: also it's got Debian DVD image, if I use a CD image of another OS, will it cause any issues as some of the debian stuff will still be on the USB stick. thats why I was asking whether I need to wipe it first?
[02:35] <tfdev> knock knock
[02:36] <tfdev> :(
[02:36] <DasEi> razz11: debian/ubuntu installer commonly need other perequisits, such as formatting to fat and a tool like unetbootin, usb-creator,pendrivelinux
[02:36] <DasEi> !usb
[02:36] <econdudeawesome> Howdy all. I'm having a real problem. My updates are all funky with the last kernel update: linux-image-generic, linux-image-2.6.38-10-generic. apt-get and aptitude fail. What can I do?
[02:36] <econdudeawesome> errors can be found here: http://pastebin.com/sQXaU8S8

[02:37] <alazare619> whats the terminal command to create a partition table?
[02:38] <arfbtwn> alazare619: take your pick, fdisk || parted, i'm sure there are others
[02:39] <razz11> DasEi: just curious, I was going to make a fedora live cd usb to test, wondering do I need to wipe it clean before I write the fedora stuff to the USB?
[02:39] <razz11> DasEi: I am just trying to learn how to do this in CLI
[02:40] <DasEi> razz11: visit pendrivelinux.com
[02:40] <DasEi> alazare619: man cfdisk
[02:45] <alazare619> how can i setup pureftpd to run as inted
[02:45] <daniel_> is there a way to use an iso file without burning it to a disc ? maybe a program that tricks my computer into thinking its on a disc
[02:46] <arfbtwn> alazare619: add a file for it under the xinetd.d directory, IIRC.
[02:46] <hamed> thank you very much i already enabled composite manager
[02:46] <arfbtwn> daniel_: mount -t iso9660 -o loop,ro <iso file> <mount point>
[02:46] <alazare619> artbtwn it cant be initid as default and not standalone?
[02:46] <DasEi> !info usb-creator| daniel_
[02:47] <DasEi> !unetbootin
[02:47] <DasEi> !info usb-creator
[02:47] <daniel_> arfbtwn what would be the mount point?
[02:47] <daniel_> arfbtwn, what would be the mount point?
[02:48] <martian_> Would anyone know of a cross-platform keyboarding/mouse sharing application alternative to Synergy? Synergy is designed to use one computer to control many, when I want to allow many to control one.
[02:48] <arfbtwn> daniel_: wherever you like, I think you can also double click from nautilus
[02:49] <Semitones_tea> hey everyone, is there a way to bring up GRUB if holding shift isn't working? I'm trying to rescue a computer that won't boot normally.
[02:49] <DasEi> martian_: just ssh -X in ?!
[02:49] <arfbtwn> alazare619: I can't remember the full steps, but you should see other files in /etc/xinetd.d which each describe a service
[02:49] <daniel_> arfbtwn, well what im trying to do is i have a game that is in iso form and ur saying all i had to do was double click it and i should be able to play it ?
[02:49] <jrib> Semitones_tea: boot a live cd and work from there
[02:49] <alazare619> yea i got you artbtwn
[02:50] <Semitones_tea> jrib, my cd drive used to be working, but Bios doesn't detect it anymore. Could it have come unplugged?
[02:50] <arfbtwn> alazare619: so you just create a new one for pureftpd, I think you need to disable stand alone in it's conf file though...
[02:50] <DasEi> Semitones_tea: you can try to press e on regular kernel and add single to it, that should boot into init 1 , too
[02:50] <bazhang> !iso > daniel_
[02:50] <w30> Semitones_tea, I get my grub boot to pause by repeatedly hitting the down arrow
[02:50] <Semitones_tea> DasEi, at what point should I press e?
[02:51] <Semitones_tea> w30, the Grub menu seems to be skipped by default though
[02:51] <martian_> DasEi: well, that's not terribly cross platform :)
[02:51] <Semitones_tea> otherwise that'd work ;)
[02:51] <DasEi> martian_: just ssh -X in ?! martian_: why not ?
[02:51] <daniel_> bazhang, ok still confused what to put as the mount point though
[02:52] <bazhang> daniel_, its a windows game? you would need to run it via wine then
[02:52] <w30> Semitones_tea, edit your grub config and add a time pause to it
[02:52] <DasEi> daniel_: set one manually, aka sudo mkdir /media/iso
[02:53] <martian_> DasEi: because if I'm on linux, I can't ssh -X in to a windows machine, or the other way around
[02:53] <DasEi> Semitones_tea: see w30, edit /etc/default/grub , remove splash and adjust timeout, then you should see bootmenu (and then also recovery-kernel)
[02:54] <DasEi> martian_: us  vnc then
[02:54] <DasEi> !vnc
[02:54] <DasEi> martian_: vnc is there both ways preconfigured
[02:55] <flametai1> Hey guys I installed Mupen64 and it worked for awhile and all of a sudden poof........It's no longer in Applications, I even edited the menu's looking for the app and it's not in there??? =/ And it's still installed, I've tried uninstalling then re-install but no go, can anyone help me? =/
[02:55] <martian_> DasEi: Yeah, I'm familiar with it. It's far from seamless, but it'll work. Thanks.

[02:55] <bazhang> flametai1, installed how and from where
[02:55] <Semitones_tea> DasEi, can I do that without a cd rom drive?
[02:55] <flametai1> bazhang, Ubuntu Software Center just by clicking install? lol
[02:56] <flametai1> bazhang, it was there for about 2 weeks and just poof disappeared o.O
[02:56] <DasEi> martian_: it depend on your focus, as in performance/overhead, teamviewer might also do, if non-commercial
[02:56] <bazhang> flametai1, mupen64plus you mean
[02:56] <flametai1> bazhang, yES.
[02:57] <DasEi> Semitones_tea: yes
[02:59] <flametai1> bazhang, any idea? =/
[02:59] <bazhang> flametai1, try alt f2 mupen64plus
[03:00] <Semitones_tea> DasEi, and without USB too?
[03:01] <flametai1> bazhang, Didn't even show up on system monitor =/
[03:01] <DasEi> Semitones_tea: yes, sure : gksu gedit /etc/default/grub
[03:02] <Semitones_tea> DasEi, I can't get to a terminal though :/
[03:02] <Semitones_tea> not even a virtual console
[03:02] <DasEi> Semitones_tea: give the timeout say a 10 seconds and leave the line about splash just as =""m safe, sudo update-grub
[03:03] <DasEi> Semitones_tea: ctrl-alt-F1 ?
[03:03] <Semitones_tea> DasEi, when I do that, it says "monitor out of range" and I can't even get back to f7 or f8 so I have to hard shut down
[03:04] <wols_> Semitones_tea: what videocard and driver is this?
[03:04] <DasEi> Semitones_tea: why can't you call terminal ?
[03:06] <Semitones_tea> DasEi, no idea, it just sends the monitor out of range
[03:07] <Semitones_tea> wols_, I believe it is nv, and it is an older AGP 4x card
[03:07] <DasEi> Semitones_tea: alt+F2 , sudo init 1 ?
[03:08] <Semitones_tea> DasEi, when I boot the computer, I get an xorg error, and then a black screen with a pointer. I never get any further than that I'm afraid...
[03:08] <arfbtwn> Semitones_tea: in that case, ctrl+alt+f1 should get you to a terminal?
[03:09] <DasEi> Semitones_tea: ah, so that's the whole story, and you can't get to bootmenu, I assume it's least lucid and not an older distro with grub 1 ?
[03:09] <Semitones_tea> DasEi, I think it is 10.04, I don't remember if that's lucid
[03:09] <DasEi> it is
[03:10] <Semitones_tea> arfbtwn, I thought it would, but instead I get "monitor frequency out of range" and I can't even get back to f8
[03:10] <DasEi> Semitones_tea: well then you will need a life environment to chroot in and fix that graphic's driver
[03:10] <razz11> can dd command be used to create a bootable USB from any distribution's iso?
[03:11] <arfbtwn> Semitones_tea: I jumped in at a late point here, but have you specified vga= in your kernel line?
[03:12] <rww> razz11: no, it depends on how the distribution prepares their ISO
[03:13] <razz11> rww: interesting, is there a way to tell if it will work?
[03:13] <tamir> hi every one i m noob. how i can real time audio stream ?
[03:13] <DasEi> arfbtwn: no way to call grub's menu
[03:14] <ritzz> hi y'all... does anyone knows how to control  access to hard drives to other account/users  (besides admin account) ?
[03:14] <rww> razz11: no idea. I'd probably just try it, or ask the distribution.
[03:14] <razz11> rww: thanks
[03:14] <terry> Semitones_tea: Try F7
[03:14] <arfbtwn> DasEi: v. weird, indeed!
[03:14] <DasEi> ritzz: fstab and permissions on the mount-dir
[03:15] <DasEi> !fstab
[03:15] <terry> Semitones_tea: tty7 should be GUI  tty6 should be console
[03:16] <ritzz> oh i forgot i mount second hard drive via truecrypt does this apply to fstab
[03:16] <terry> ritzz: accessing another user's filesystem requires su
[03:17] <TheCyph3r> sudo su
[03:17] <terry> timrc:  TheCyph3r su - other-user-name-here
[03:18] <blackhawk> i did  formate some free space on my HDD for storage as ext4 and when i tried to mount it, it gave me an error and said that only root can mount it
[03:18] <blackhawk> what should i do
[03:19] <LS1> hi, trying to get a broadcom BCM57788 to load with modprobe broadcom and tg3 but still no eth0 showing up, any ideas?
[03:19] <terry> TheCyph3r: If I want to access ritzz's filesystem, I would do:   su - ritzz
[03:19] <terry> TheCyph3r: And give ritzz's password
[03:20] <TheCyph3r> terry: okay cool. I'll remember that if I create other user accounts
[03:21] <terry> TheCyph3r: To do it as admin, just do   sudo ls /home/rigzz/   (and give my password) (if (and only if) I am in admin group)
[03:21] <DasEi> blackhawk: prefix with sudo and for automatic mounting add it to fstab
[03:24] <johnnyonflame> i've installed FreeNX on my server
[03:24] <johnnyonflame> and ran the setup
[03:24] <johnnyonflame> but I can't seem to be able to log onto the server
[03:24] <johnnyonflame> "The session negotiation failed"
[03:25] <johnnyonflame> "Error is: Session startup failed"
[03:25] <terry> johnnyonflame: Forgot  your passowrd?
[03:25] <johnnyonflame> nah, the password is right
[03:25] <johnnyonflame> just installed NX
[03:25] <blackhawk> DasEi sorry but i don't quite understand that.i'm new to this
[03:25] <blackhawk> can you give me the full command?
[03:25] <terry> johnnyonflame: What do you mean, "NX"?
[03:25] <johnnyonflame> FreenX
[03:25] <cdavis> I used handbrake to format a movie for my iPad, but I can't seem to figure out how to get the movie onto the iPad
[03:25] <johnnyonflame> NX*
[03:26] <blackhawk> ...
[03:26] <DasEi> blackhawk: open a terminal ..
[03:26] <DasEi> blackhawk: sudo fdisk -l             , which is the new partition ?
[03:26] <terry> johnnyonflame: /join #nx
[03:27] <terry> johnnyonflame: But you should be able to boot to single user mode.  What boot loader does it use?  Grub or Lilo?
[03:28] <johnnyonflame> the system is running
[03:28] <johnnyonflame> but i can create a session on NX
[03:28] <terry> johnnyonflame: /join #nx
[03:28] <DasEi> blackhawk:, which is the new partition ? /dev/sd...

[03:33] <flametai1> Hey guys....... Having trouble with Mupen64Plus still....... I figured out what my problem was but now I can't get CuteMupen to work on Ubuntu 10.10? =| Can anyone help me?
[03:34] <testytesty> flametai1: what happens when you try to get it to work?
[03:35] <flametai1> testytesty, Well I installed it all using this tutorial http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1686384 Followed it to the exact, open it up, and nothing happens =| Oh.... I think I might know what the problem is 1 sec
[03:35] <Peddy> how can I simulate XF86AudioLowerVolume being pressed from the terminal?
[03:36] <lantis469> use Project 64 nd install it with the windows emulator wine
[03:36] <lantis469> or with crossover which is another windows emulator
[03:37] <keithclark> Is there a program that can create a .mpg or other movie format from a directory of date organized .jpeg files?
[03:37] <flametai1> testytesty, Figured it out LOL Thank you for replying though :)
[03:37] <testytesty> Peddy: amixer sset Master 2- or something like that
[03:37] <testytesty> keithclark: yes, mencoder from mplayer is quite good at that
[03:37] <testytesty> keithclark: also ffmpeg
[03:38] <Peddy> testytesty, that would change the volume, and I have tried that, but I want to actually simulate that keypress (so notify-osd can show volume, etc)
[03:38] <testytesty> Peddy: oh
[03:38] <testytesty> Peddy: you're using GNOME+Unity?
[03:39] <Peddy> testytesty, gnome + gnome shell, actually
[03:39] <SianaGearz> helloes. i installed me new ram and PAE kernel, but PAE won't boot, it hangs -.- the non-PAE kernel still boots OK. how do i determine the cause?
[03:39] <SianaGearz> i'm on natty
[03:39] <Peddy> testytesty, but it should be standard across gnome. I can use Unity too.
[03:39] <Rigin> pls help me
[03:39] <testytesty> Peddy: it might be, might not =)
[03:39] <testytesty> Peddy: should work across X, though: http://www.gentoo-wiki.info/HOWTO_Use_Multimedia_Keys#Setting_up_xmodmap
[03:40] <johnnyonflame> What's the easiest VNC server to install? (one that doesn't suck much)
[03:40] <testytesty> Rigin: ...with?
[03:40] <SianaGearz> ram checked out fine in memtest
[03:40] <Peddy> thanks testytesty. I'm also looking into dbus calls, there might be one for volume
[03:40] <lsheeba> peace= all
[03:40] <testytesty> johnnyonflame: I thought Ubuntu came with one
[03:40] <Rigin> how can we install applications in format tar.bz2
[03:40] <testytesty> johnnyonflame: check system/admin section of menu
[03:40] <testytesty> Rigin: usually by compiling them - what application?
[03:40] <Rigin> pls help me urgent
[03:40] <johnnyonflame> I have no GUI atm
[03:40] <lsheeba> is any1 here expert with linux games from windows?
[03:40] <johnnyonflame> it's a VDS
[03:41] <testytesty> lsheeba: are you looking for an expert, or a solution to a problem?
[03:41] <testytesty> johnnyonflame: vds?
[03:41] <testytesty> johnnyonflame: I like tigervnc
[03:41] <SianaGearz> may i repeat my question or is this useless?
[03:41] <Rigin> .how can we compile the application
[03:41] <johnnyonflame> VDS= Virtual dedicated server
[03:41] <testytesty> johnnyonflame: but if you don't have a GUI you probably want openssh
[03:41] <johnnyonflame> i'm connected to SSH
[03:41] <johnnyonflame> and the server have GNOME/KDE installed already
[03:41] <Rigin> how can we install applications in format tar.bz2
[03:42] <testytesty> a virtual dedicated server... that sounds oxymoronical
[03:42] <Rigin> pls help me urgent
[03:42] <lsheeba> testytesty, i have a game which is from the IOQuake Engine , the problem is its created from scratch by afriend , and the launcher to start the game is a .exe for windows users , now we only need a launcher for linux so linux users could also play it
[03:42] <testytesty> johnnyonflame: so you need to start the VNC server from console
[03:42] <johnnyonflame> it's cheap, and it works just fine for what i want
[03:42] <Vastlocyr> How can I send hardware error messages (cannot enumerate usb blah blah) to /dev/null? They make the tty unusable with constant spam. >.>
[03:42] <johnnyonflame> yeah, pretty much
[03:42] <testytesty> Rigin: which application?
[03:42] <Rigin> its to install new mozilla firefox
[03:42] <testytesty> johnnyonflame: not trying to insult it, it just doesn't make sense in my head
[03:42] <testytesty> Rigin: which version do you want?
[03:42] <Rigin> mozilla firefox
[03:42] <wisevoyager> Hi, everyone. Is this channel support ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lync?
[03:43] <terry> yes
[03:43] <testytesty> wisevoyager: for all ubuntu versions and distros, AFAIK
[03:43] <Rigin> 5.0.1
[03:43] <DasEi> SianaGearz: ok to repeat half hours wise ; check /var/log/syslog, dmesg, and kern.log, apart also try to install linux-image-server, that also comes with pae
[03:43] <SianaGearz> DasEi: thx
[03:43] <johnnyonflame> Well, it's basically a virtual machine
[03:43] <lsheeba> i can send u the launcher and u can change the paremeters to be in the linux language with the same procedure because the engine runs both in windows and linux , quake files are like that when u have quake installed in windows u just copy the quake files and add a launcher and walla but i cant find a person who has this knowledge of this case
[03:43] <testytesty> Rigin: well for starters, you don't want to use a tar.bz2
[03:43] <johnnyonflame> in a box full of other servers
[03:43] <wisevoyager> testytesty: thanks bro!
[03:43] <testytesty> johnnyonflame: that part I get
[03:44] <johnnyonflame> so, what didn't you get?
[03:44] <testytesty> lsheeba: what does the launcher do?
[03:44] <testytesty> johnnyonflame: how it's dedicated
[03:45] <Rigin> yes i need
[03:45] <johnnyonflame> It's just sold like that, it's not really dedicated
[03:45] <SianaGearz> DasEi: well dmesg apparently only remembers the current session, not the one which doesn't boot. i'll go check the rest.
[03:45] <Rigin> but i don't know to process with tar.bz2
[03:45] <lsheeba> the launcher starts the engine thats all , the engine compatibility can run in linux also if the launcher is available
[03:45] <johnnyonflame> the only dedicated thing about it is that it runs what i want and only what I want on it
[03:45] <testytesty> Rigin: you don't need the tar.bz2, there are binaries
[03:46] <DasEi> SianaGearz: dmes will also report a broken start, and where it hangs, dmesg > dmesg.txt of better scrolling
[03:46] <DasEi> for*
[03:46] <Rigin> then how can we devolop the application mozilla
[03:46] <keithclark> testytesty, perfection, thanks
[03:46] <testytesty> Rigin: oh you got it from mozilla.com ?
[03:47] <Rigin> yes
[03:47] <testytesty> keithclark: youtubeing, are we? =)
[03:47] <lsheeba> testytesty, i got default linux games installed in my desktop like warsow and nexuiz , is their a way to see how the launcher works by editing it ? forexample nexuiz launcher offcourse inside it has a paremeter saying fs_game  < nexuiz directory engine > , i want to change that to IOQuakeXbeta Directory Engine > so then it will be able to launch the game thats all
[03:47] <Rigin> a new version with browser id
[03:47] <lwizardl> what would you say would be the best version of Ubuntu (not exactly the Xubuntu, or kubuntu) such as 6.04 etc for using to recover files from old machines ? think like win98-xp based computers
[03:47] <SianaGearz> DasEi: i simply piped it into less :P
[03:47] <DasEi> :)
[03:48] <testytesty> lwizardl: I'd use http://www.sysresccd.org/ personally
[03:48] <keithclark> testytesty, no, just combining still pics of a surveillance cam
[03:48] <testytesty> lwizardl: if I had to pick an Ubuntu variety, I'd pick one with a lighter desktop than GNOME or KDE
[03:48] <testytesty> keithclark: you surveiller you
[03:48] <keithclark> testytesty, gotta watch
[03:49] <testytesty> keithclark: I think there are easier ways if you just want to watch
[03:49] <testytesty> mplayer can probably play them directly without manually combining them
[03:49] <Rigin> pls help me
[03:49] <testytesty> Rigin: relax
[03:49] <keithclark> testytesty, and they are?
[03:49] <cactusfrog> i keep getting this error when i try to edit a file http://pastebin.com/GSK8kcKh
[03:49] <lwizardl> testytesty, yeah I have looked at sysrec before. I was looking at the xubuntu because of how low the overhead system requirements that are needed. I'm just looking for a distro version to keep on hand for older machines. Like the system I was given today to do some repairs on seems to only have about 64mb of ram
[03:50] <testytesty> Rigin: inside the tar.bz2 is a tar file, inside the tar file is a directory, inside the directory is a Firefox install you can run
[03:50] <SianaGearz> DasEi: oh! apparently the kernel and a whole bunch of services booted just fine. maybe it locked up when starting x.org
[03:50] <lsheeba> ok Rigin  u want to install a developer mozzile based browser for developer purposes ? or u just want the updated mozzilla firefox installed on ur ubuntu ?
[03:50] <testytesty> Rigin: extract with the following command: tar -xjvf foo.tar.bz2
[03:50] <testytesty> he just wants a 5.0.1 binary
[03:50] <testytesty> keithclark: perfectly good question =)
[03:51] <testytesty> keithclark: http://www.noah.org/wiki/Mplayer_notes#Play_a_sequence_of_images
[03:51] <DasEi> !bootoptions | SianaGearz , or maybe reconfigure xorg
[03:51] <josue> hi, someone know how to configure kate to connecto with xampp?
[03:51] <DasEi> !nomodeset
[03:51] <testytesty> josue: do what?
[03:51] <SianaGearz> DasEi: maybe it's of relevance that i'm running the edgers xorg for the 275 nvidia driver, because the 270 is badly broken -.-
[03:51] <lsheeba> isnt firefox 5.0 installed by default in ubuntu 11.04?
[03:51] <keithclark> testytesty, a nice gui would be awesome for that command
[03:51] <testytesty> keithclark: GUI shmui
[03:51] <xangua> lsheeba: if you have all the updates, yes
[03:51] <Rigin> thank u
[03:51] <SianaGearz> DasEi: i am always nomodeset
[03:51] <josue> kate use a mysql extension to connect to mysql, but I have mysql on xampp
[03:52] <Rigin> thank u testytesty
[03:52] <josue> so not the same
[03:52] <keithclark> testytesty, I can live in cl
[03:52] <DasEi> SianaGearz: could be, maybe try a common xorg first (empty, reconfigure)
[03:52] <oneliner> ok how can i fill a bug report?
[03:52] <DasEi> !bug
[03:52] <SianaGearz> thanks DasEi

[03:53] <blade> anyone any good with ati from the command line?
[03:53] <Rigin> where do we execute this tar -xjvf foo.tar.bz2 command
[03:53] <lsheeba> as far as i know , no more need in using terminal because most packages are ready in default blade
[03:54] <keithclark> Rigin, from the directory from which yo which to uncompress the target file
[03:54] <lsheeba> terminal is just for people who wants things in  a linux feeling to feel the linux
[03:54] <blade> lsheeba that's what i thought also but from what i understand the only way i can enable both of my vid cards would be with the aticonfig -- commands in terminal
[03:55] <Rigin> how

[04:00] <mgriffin> i tried several things so far, such as update-rc.d remove gdm, chmod -x /sbin/gdm, setting /etc/init/gdm.conf to stop on 0123456 and commenting out the start, added keyword 'text' to grub
[04:00] <bc81> hello.  i'm wondering if there is some way to update calibre on maverick meerkat.  the version installed is 0.7.18, and i'd like to update to a newer version of calibre without having to upgrade ubuntu.
[04:00] <mgriffin> bc81: looked for a PPA?
[04:00] <ritzz> control center?
[04:00] <mgriffin> ritzz: my keyboard and mouse are not working in gui currently
[04:00] <lsheeba> mgriffin, at start up , just logoff now and choose ur desktop environment on the bottom cornor
[04:00] <mgriffin> i guess i should have specified that ;)
[04:00] <bc81> mgriffin: yes, but i cant find one for maverick, maybe i'm overlookinng something?
[04:01] <mgriffin> not sure
[04:01] <ritzz> oops sorry was answering with a question to my own question  ;)  sorry
[04:01] <Rigin> how can we connect to a remote computer
[04:01] <ritzz> at mgriffin
[04:01] <lsheeba> bc81, if theirs dependencies in updated libc's then u got to update those so u can update ur calibre
[04:01] <lsheeba> Rigin, get teamviewer www.teamviewer.com stress/free worry/free

[04:04] <wols_> lsheeba: please stay on topic for ubuntu support
[04:04] <Rigin> can u demonstrate by accessing my computer
[04:04] <yagoo> mgriffin, what kind of mouse/keyb is it, bluetooth?
[04:04] <wols_> !nodm
[04:04] <mgriffin> yagoo: it is a laptop, and they are built in

[04:06] <lsheeba> o wols_  do u have any idea of game launchers for linux? i have 1 for windows , we need that converted for windows and not just used for wine , the game engine is compatible with Linux and Windows
[04:06] <rww> lsheeba: As wols_ said, #ubuntu is for Ubuntu technical support, not fitness discussion.
[04:06] <yagoo> mgriffin, is anything in the usb plugged in when u installed or boot?
[04:06] <a111> lsheeba, Dont they have it in hotels
[04:06] <KM0201> Rigin: another way, if you're trying to help someone who cant access their router to open ports, is to set up a reverse connection (you open ports on your router, and allow them to connect to you, but you see their desktop_)
[04:06] <a111> or resturants
[04:06] <lsheeba> not on this city a111
[04:06] <yagoo> oh
[04:06] <yagoo> mgriffin, so u lost power while doing an upgrade.. that explains everything..
[04:06] <blade> any one here able to help with some terminal commands for aticonfig
[04:07] <mgriffin> yagoo: yeah.
[04:07] <yagoo> mgriffin, just bak up ur stuff from /home and do reinstall
[04:07] <mgriffin> yagoo: yea...

[04:07] <Rigin> any please demonste me by accessing my system
[04:07] <lsheeba> blade, u got to go to x11/etc/xorg.conf
[04:07] <a111> DeezeNuts, this is not  /g/tv
[04:07] <DeezeNuts> ?
[04:07] <lsheeba> i did some stuff of that 5 years ago
[04:07] <DeezeNuts> a111 who are you
[04:07] <blade> lsheeba,  i understand that
[04:07] <DeezeNuts> I came here to ask a question
[04:07] <yagoo> mgriffin, lesson learned.. always use ac adapter power when doing upgrades
[04:07] <mgriffin> :(
[04:08] <yagoo> mgriffin, nothing we can do..
[04:08] <wols_> mgriffin: reinstall xorg
[04:08] <yagoo> mgriffin, reinstall everything..
[04:08] <blade> lheeba i do not need help finding this i need someone that understands the commands better than i
[04:08] <KM0201> yagoo: unfortunatel, that should be common sense bt... thats not so common nowdays
[04:08] <lsheeba> just ask man theirs people here who's been using ubuntu since dapper
[04:08] <nit-wit> guity
[04:08] <nit-wit> *guilty
[04:08] <mgriffin> KM0201: well, it was for a friend, who forgot the charger
[04:08] <mgriffin> and well, you know, things happen
[04:08] <DeezeNuts> does anyone know where Ubuntu's keymaps are kept? trying to set up BACKSPACE + ENTER as a delete button
[04:09] <blade> hey nit-wit good to see ya again
[04:09] <mgriffin> i can fix this.. i just wanted to understand the boot process
[04:09] <yagoo> mgriffin, well tell ur friend he's doomed... there's corruption all over the place including the filesystem..
[04:09] <mgriffin> it seems that perhaps gdm is not used at all...
[04:09] <KM0201> mgriffin: well, you should've told her no charger no upgrade.... seriously.. you had no idea how long it would take, so why would you attempt it on battery, knowing you could run out
[04:09] <mgriffin> yagoo: naw, i have faith in xfs
[04:09] <wols_> mgriffin: dpkg -l |grep -v ^ii
[04:09] <lsheeba> backspace + enter is this possible DeezeNuts
[04:09] <yagoo> mgriffin, only thing u can do is tell him to backcup /home and reinstall the OS
[04:09] <nit-wit> blade, thanks, I had to install fedora xfce my natty and oneiric crash x constantly
[04:09] <yagoo> wols_, the machine lost power..
[04:09] <wols_> DeezeNuts: in X?
[04:09] <mgriffin> yagoo: you are silly, i can fix this, just wanted some hints on the boot process, but thanks for the sentiments
[04:09] <yagoo> wols_, there's filesystem corruption.
[04:09] <ritzz> i dont want to be a nusiance but is there any more info on how can i control access to hard drives mounted via truecrypt with control center
[04:09] <DeezeNuts> I don't know lsheeba, I just need a delete shortcut for Ubuntu
[04:10] <DeezeNuts> It doesn't have to be BACKSPACE + ENTER
[04:10] <wols_> oh, xfs. yeah, using xfs on a notebook is a stupid idea
[04:10] <yagoo> mgriffin, well good luck.
[04:10] <mgriffin> thanks, anyway...
[04:10] <blade> nit-wit, ewww i really do not like the look of xfce .... it reminds me of something.... not sure what
[04:10] <mgriffin> so is gdm used in this version at all?
[04:10] <lsheeba> DeezeNuts, click on start > search > type shortcut
[04:10] <wols_> mgriffin: still stands: fsck and the reinstall X
[04:10] <mgriffin> wols_: no thanks.
[04:10] <wols_> mgriffin: gdm is used in every ubuntu
[04:10] <mgriffin> oh X
[04:11] <mgriffin> wols_: why can i chmod -x gdm and end up in gui?
[04:11] <wols_> DeezeNuts: this in X?
[04:11] <daurnimator> anyone know a ppa with newer kernals?
[04:11] <yagoo> "<mgriffin> see, what happened was, that the thing lost power doing a dist-upgrade"
[04:11] <DeezeNuts> not sure what you mean by X
[04:11] <DeezeNuts> Ubuntu 10.10?
[04:11] <DeezeNuts> Yes
[04:11] <yagoo> ^reinst X is not good enough.
[04:11] <DeezeNuts> Im on a CR-48 btw
[04:11] <wols_> DeezeNuts: X = X11 = the GUI you are using
[04:11] <blade> nit-wit, still working on the dual head issue but getting closer i think
[04:11] <DeezeNuts> its gnome
[04:11] <mgriffin> yagoo: apt-get install -f was pretty happy, i just cant get upstart running in single user to start network
[04:12] <wols_> DeezeNuts: xmodmap then
[04:12] <ByteWiz> i
[04:12] <DeezeNuts> Okay
[04:12] <DeezeNuts> how can i get to that
[04:12] <yagoo> mgriffin, dpkg -C
[04:12] <mgriffin> to be more precise i did 'apt-get upgrade' with new version of apt list, but now need to do the final pass with dist-upgrade
[04:12] <wols_> DeezeNuts: man xmodmap  for starters
[04:12] <ByteWiz> Which utility is best to convert .chm files to .pdf ?
[04:12] <yagoo> that's pretty much all
[04:12] <DeezeNuts> thanks
[04:12] <rww> mgriffin: fyi, that's also not the supported method for upgrading to a new version of Ubuntu.
[04:12] <mgriffin> i am sure it isnt
[04:12] <mgriffin> but i am not here to debate that
[04:13] <wols_> mgriffin: what happens if you try to run ubuntu normally. where do you end up exactly?
[04:14] <mgriffin> wols_: in x, logged in, with a firefox icon visible but out of reach, now response when i hit keys or move mouse, whether builtin or usb
[04:14] <DarkStar_> hey can i change the audio output port , like to send Front sound from the Center sound port
[04:14] <DarkStar_> ?
[04:14] <mgriffin> it seems irqbalance is not ^ii i will try fixing that
[04:14] <mgriffin> but i bet it is just some xorg conf breakage
[04:14] <mgriffin> i just want out of the gui, but not in single user mode
[04:14] <wols_> mgriffin: ctrl+alt+f1 no work?
[04:15] <mgriffin> wols_: right, i can bang on the keyboard until it falls asleep
[04:15] <blackhawk> is working on a ntfs partition slow or it's just the normal,and would there be any problems to make my storage partition a ntfs one to share it between windows and ubuntu?
[04:15] <mgriffin> with usb keyboard, capslock does nothing with led
[04:15] <Hyperling> I have a folder which has some files and folders accidentally locked into root-only access, how do i undo this? :(
[04:16] <mgriffin> k, ill remove the service restart from irqbalance.postinst
[04:17] <mgriffin> and rsyslog..
[04:17] <lsheeba> Hyperling, access sudo nautilus , then right click that folder and change its attributes
[04:17] <xangua> !gksu | lsheeba Hyperling
[04:17]  * Cydd unzips pants
[04:17] <DasEi> Hyperling: to access as regular user : sudo chown -r $USER /path/to/folder or see man chmod, ask if unsure as this affects all subfolders in this path (and all files)
[04:17] <lsheeba> sorry xangua thanks for the update im from dapper days
[04:18] <alazare619> i have no idea why but im about to throw my laptop, no matter what i do i cant get smb or ftp to work right if i login with my main user account on the pc i can browse folders (SOME) on ftp but no matter what i cant do a dang thing with smb....

[04:20] <ryty_> has anyone tried linux 3.0 yet in Ubuntu?
[04:21] <blade> alazare619, not sure why it would not work not really many settings to it

[04:33] <rosstaylor> i can't get videos to play on ubuntu 11.04 please help
[04:33] <wols_> rosstaylor: which videos exactly?
[04:33] <lsheeba> i have a game launcher made for windows , it uses the same engine compatibility in running in linux forexample the game Quake3 , if u have it installed on ur windows drive u can just copy the files and add the Linux Quake3 launcher to execute it on the FS_Gamepath of < Quake3 > Dir in linux
[04:34] <rosstaylor> wols: not youtube, just regular videos
[04:34] <lsheeba> i'd like a launcher for linux to do so like The string can contain $DESTINATION which
[04:34] <lsheeba> will be replaced with the installation destination.
[04:34] <rosstaylor> wols: i think it's flash
[04:34] <lsheeba> postexec (no default, mustBeString)  any1?
[04:34] <blade> rosstaylor, what type of video like avi mgp what?
[04:34] <wols_> rosstaylor: youtube is flash. regular video are other formats like avi, mkv, mpg, etc. so what is it?
[04:34] <blade> yea
[04:34] <blade> lol
[04:34] <rosstaylor> how do i check
[04:35] <wols_> rosstaylor: tell us what file or url you want to watch
[04:35] <blade> rosstaylor, right click on the file and hit properties
[04:35] <wols_> lsheeba: your description doesn't make much sense at all
[04:35] <rosstaylor> it's flash
[04:35] <wols_> rosstaylor: what is the file extension?
[04:36] <lsheeba> any1 has a launcher ready which i can just edit the destination to the game that requires launching! is that enough clarity
[04:36] <rosstaylor> but it's flash 10.0
[04:36] <wols_> lsheeba: we call that a "shell". like bash. just run it inside your xterm
[04:36] <lsheeba> wols_, thats why i need a gaming industry | Programmer expert
[04:36] <xangua> rosstaylor: do you hav restricted-extras installed , or tried with vlv ¿
[04:36] <wols_> lsheeba: no you don't
[04:36] <xangua> vlc*
[04:36] <wols_> rosstaylor: is the video on a website?
[04:36] <lsheeba> i tried running it with /sh and i renamed the .exe to i386.run LOL i know i thught im living a dream!
[04:37] <rosstaylor> xangua: i did install the restricted extras
[04:37] <wols_> lsheeba: ever used WINE? that's the only way to run windows executables in linux.
[04:37] <blade> rosstaylor, are you using 11.4 x64 ubuntu
[04:37] <rosstaylor> wols: they're on random websites
[04:37] <lsheeba> i know , but this game can run in linux just requires a launcher only
[04:37] <lsheeba> to launch the engine ,
[04:38] <rosstaylor> i have this version installed You have version 10,3,162,29 installed
[04:38] <blade> wols_, they are flv files
[04:38] <Rigin> hi i want to know which file is taken to wxecute
[04:38] <wols_> lsheeba: no. the "engine" must be ported to linux. the engine is a binary program which runs under Windows or WINE _only_
[04:38] <rosstaylor> the latest version is <IP_ADDRESS>?
[04:38] <wols_> !flash
[04:38] <lsheeba> ok my ubuntu center is lagged =/
[04:39] <wols_> Rigin: "wxecute" is what?
[04:39] <blade> rosstaylor,  open firefox and go to the tools/addons and search for flash aid
[04:39] <Rigin> execute which file from the package
[04:39] <wols_> Rigin: from what package?
[04:39] <blade> rosstaylor, install flash aid and it will fix your flash problems
[04:40] <Rigin> mozilla firefox
[04:40] <wols_> Rigin: why do you want to run this special firefox version?
[04:40] <lsheeba> wols_, the engins is ported to linux bro , the engine is quake IO , open source , Quake1 Quake2 + Quake3 is ported for linux , but requires a launcher , the launcher in loki's installer will install it automatically however , if i do so i will still not be able to edit that launcher to read fs_game path quakeX  , any idea if u have a launcher ready i can just edit the fs_gamepath
[04:41] <Rigin> i need to update my mozilla firefox
[04:41] <wols_> Rigin: why?
[04:42] <Rigin> to new version
[04:42] <A-KO^> Howdy. with 11.04 I'm having trouble getting the Nvidia drivers to work. It says the driver is activated but not in use. The driver is set to "nvidia" in xorg.conf, but but glx gears aren't working properly. 7600GT, bit older. And xrandr doesn't work properly but don't have the error off hand at the moment. Any help?
[04:42] <wols_> Rigin: that doesn't answer my question why you need to update your firefox. please answer it
[04:42] <xangua>  !fx5 | Rigin
[04:42] <wols_> A-KO^: check your Xorg.0.log why it doesn't load
[04:43]  * rww facepalms
[04:43] <rosstaylor> i installed flash aid but it didn't wokr
[04:43] <lsheeba> wols_, QuakeX files is exactly like Quake3 files , if u have it installed on ur windows , u can copy paste it in ur Linux and put in the launcher made for Linux and it will run the game becasue the pak files can read both ways in linux/windows , the thing i really need is the same thing , a launcher but editing the parameter destination to QuakeX/baseq3 instead of Quake3/baseq3
[04:44] <A-KO^> wols_: according to Xorg.0.log, the module is loaded and not throwing an error.
[04:44] <blade> rosstaylor, did you run it?
[04:44] <blade> rosstaylor after install?
[04:44] <wols_> A-KO^: please paste the log and the output of glxinfo please
[04:44] <lsheeba> hm
[04:44] <rosstaylor> blade: how
[04:44] <A-KO^> wols_: whole log or will grep nvidia work?
[04:45] <wols_> A-KO^: whole log please. from glxinfo the first few lines are enough
[04:45] <blade> rosstaylor, on your firefox ... right side and the end of your menu bar you should see the flash icon it's red.... click on it
[04:45] <lucas49> what is the name of the messaging system Linux? example, shows empathy when someone connects to the msn. would dbus?
[04:45] <wols_> blade: why do you assume he has no flash installed already?
[04:46] <xangua> lucas49: notify-osd
[04:46] <xangua> the litle black pop ups
[04:46] <lucas49> xangua: yes
[04:46] <blade> wols_, i dont assume he has no flash installed i think it's the 32 bit and he is on a 64bit system is my guess and that is a known issue for flash
[04:47] <wols_> xangua: and these are using what protocol to do their magic?
[04:47] <lsheeba> ok i think i have a work around figured out thanks wols_  just by talking to u my ideas came together thanks for ur communication
[04:47] <lucas49> xangua: thanks
[04:47] <xangua> wols_: '¿¿
[04:47] <Nilu> histo, i am facing issues after upgrading to 10.10 ...
[04:47] <blade> wols_, the 32 bit will work just the wrapper is not the right one and the way i want about fixing it was to use flash aid and have helped 3 others since to do the same
[04:47] <rosstaylor> ok that worked, thank you!
[04:47] <rosstaylor> i love you all
[04:47] <lsheeba> il get the quake3 installer linux version installed , make 2 copies of quake X folder , steal the launchers of the quake3 and renaming X to 3 , and editing parameters of the engine pakpool

[04:49] <amanforindia> hey...
[04:50] <fugdacopz> haha
[04:50] <wols_> blade: going outside the packaging system randomly is a stupid idea. just guess what happens after the next aptitude upgrade
[04:50] <fugdacopz> bad idea
[04:50] <root_> Hello,Every One
[04:50] <amanforindia> there is a problem with my mic configuration
[04:50] <fugdacopz> root_, that msg was directed towards you
[04:51] <root_> I'm from China.
[04:51] <wols_> root_: he means using IRC as root user is very dangerous
[04:51] <amanforindia> there's a lot of disturbance
[04:51] <blade> wols_, well i would hope that since it's a known issue and that fix came right from adobe they will have it fixed by then
[04:51] <amanforindia> what to do?
[04:51] <root_> This is VM
[04:51] <root_> VirtualBox
[04:52] <obscurant1st> i am using thunderbird as my email client. I have reached the maximum email I can in the server. So is there anyway to download all of them as a bckup?
[04:52] <A-KO^> wols_: http://pastebin.com/sEPw0jZP < for all intents to me it looks like it's working...
[04:52] <wols_> obscurant1st: depends on the server and what protocols it offers. thunderbird can use pop3 or imap
[04:52] <TheCyph3r> I'm sure they're all saved to a folder within the Thunderbird folder
[04:52] <root_> What'are you from?
[04:53] <wols_> A-KO^: it is working. what makes you think otherwise?
[04:53] <xangua> root_: this is an ubuntu channel support only, do you have a support question'¿
[04:53] <wols_> root_: do you have ubuntu support related problems? this channel is not a normal chat channel but for ubuntu tech support only
[04:54] <root_> Oh,I don't have question,sorry
[04:54] <obscurant1st> wols_, yeah imap. but how can I download all the emails?
[04:54] <LoRd_UnDeRwOrLd> hi all the text in webpages opened with mozilla does not appear any more
[04:54] <YankDownUnder> root_, Did you know that by logging onto IRC as the "root" user, you have just opened your system up to hijacking - and as well, it's actually rather rude to do anything online as "root" ??
[04:55] <TheCyph3r> lol
[04:55] <A-KO^> wols_: http://pastebin.com/sTfmKLas
[04:55] <YankDownUnder> ...thought so...
[04:56] <A-KO^> you know
[04:56] <A-KO^> I Just log on as root and change irrsi's conf ;)
[04:56] <wols_> A-KO^: normal. nvidia drivers don't support xrandr. nvidia-settings or such to configure multiple monitors and such
[04:56] <blade> some little kid is sitting at a computer with tears in his little eyes now... that was so mean
[04:56] <A-KO^> ahh wols_
[04:56] <A-KO^> hm okay.
[04:56] <A-KO^> thanks
[04:56] <YankDownUnder> A-KO^, Mate, until you actually realise the danger, go right ahead...however, beware...
[04:57] <th0r> YankDownUnder: is that another ubuntu-ism?
[04:57] <A-KO^> YankDownUnder: I am fully aware of the ideas of separation of privilege.
[04:57] <LoRd_UnDeRwOrLd> hi i run ubuntu 10.10 with Firefox 3.6.18 and all the text in webpages such as google does not appear any more, it isnt there. there's white rectangles instead. help?
[04:57] <A-KO^> anyways
[04:57] <A-KO^> thanks wols_ for the help
[04:57] <A-KO^> wols_: essentially we're trying to run an entire system in portrait mode--and a lot of stuff hates it
[04:57] <YankDownUnder> Some lessons are harder learned - especially when you have a system that has been compromised along with all the user data that's on that system. AND you're the one that's liable for it.
[04:57] <wols_> LoRd_UnDeRwOrLd: looks like you are missing fonts
[04:58] <xangua> !fx5 | LoRd_UnDeRwOrLd
[04:58] <rww> xangua: What does that have to do with anything?
[04:59] <wols_> rww: if something is broken, install a new version! fixes everything. AND cures warts!
[04:59] <xangua> just giving the oportunity to update his fx rww
[04:59] <LoRd_UnDeRwOrLd> wols_: yesterday i added some fonts, but i didnt delete any, so what do i do?
[04:59] <xangua> and see if the problem persist
[05:00] <rww> xangua: I'd prefer it if you did actual diagnosis instead of recommending that someone upgrade to an unofficial, unsupported PPA.
[05:00] <ActionParsnip> LoRd_UnDeRwOrLd: do you get no fonts in firefox?
[05:01] <Lasers> LoRd_UnDeRwOrLd: PrintScreen. I love me some screenshots.
[05:02] <YankDownUnder> Lasers, http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/992/2372011screenshot.jpg
[05:02] <LoRd_UnDeRwOrLd> ActionParsnip: hi, exactly. I mean there's "file, edit, view" etc but for example if i go to google, there's no search botton or "web, images" etc
[05:03] <Lasers> YankDownUnder: Android.vbox? o.O
[05:03] <YankDownUnder> Lasers, Yeah...Android x86 in a box...(sucks, but it's fun to muck with)
[05:05] <Lasers> YankDownUnder: Ah. Cool. I like your Mac. ._>
[05:05] <ActionParsnip> LoRd_UnDeRwOrLd: I've heard of this on launchpad but i have no idea exactly what the fix was. I was something to do with font rendering settings either in ubuntu or in firefox. I don't use firefox so can't comment there but there is in ubuntu. You could have a play and/or try find the post as a different user or pc
[05:06] <YankDownUnder> Lasers, Gnome2 + compiz + emerald + Cairo-dock = "Nearly Mac"
[05:06] <ActionParsnip> People still use emerald? Yikes
[05:06] <Nilu> hello, am having issues after upgrading to ubuntu 10.10 ... apparently, when i log in as normal user, opening any app results in flickering of the window, but if i log in as root, it starts to fork file managers infinitely, and that opening any other app results in infinite fork of the app ...
[05:06] <YankDownUnder> ActionParsnip, Yes. BTW, it's a recent compile. Ha.
[05:07] <LoRd_UnDeRwOrLd> ActionParsnip: yeah, i would do that but the thing is I can't read it :D
[05:07] <ActionParsnip> LoRd_UnDeRwOrLd: use a different user, it may help
[05:08] <iDRINKbLEACH> Hello, I just installed 11.04 on my desktop and when it restarted it stayed stuck n "Boot from Cd :"
[05:09] <atc3030|TICKED> i have an ubuntu server that got hacked and im looking to redo it. however, i want it more secure. could you guys please direct me to where i need to go?
[05:09] <iDRINKbLEACH> I have two harddrives, I installed it on a brand new drive sdb0, does it have to install the boot on sda??
[05:10] <LoRd_UnDeRwOrLd> ActionParsnip: i only have this computer and it won't work from another user
[05:10] <ActionParsnip> YankDownUnder: sure but the code you compiled is 3 years without an update. Its unmaintained
[05:10] <jack^_> iDRINKbLEACH, no
[05:10] <ActionParsnip> LoRd_UnDeRwOrLd: make another user....
[05:10] <atc3030|TICKED> i have an ubuntu server that got hacked and im looking to redo it. however, i want it more secure. could you guys please direct me to where i need to go?
[05:11] <LoRd_UnDeRwOrLd> ActionParsnip: i did, it won't work.......
[05:11] <YankDownUnder> ActionParsnip, ;) ...well, suits *my* particular purposes, eh? Hehehhe
[05:11] <LoRd_UnDeRwOrLd> ActionParsnip: thaz the first thing i tried
[05:11] <ActionParsnip> LoRd_UnDeRwOrLd: your OS can store thousands of users. Did you really think a new OS would only support one user??
[05:11] <iDRINKbLEACH> jack^_ I inserted cd rom and restarted my computer and it went directly to ubuntu
[05:11] <LoRd_UnDeRwOrLd> ActionParsnip: are u reading what i said? o_O
[05:11] <vikapi> iDRINKbLEACH: will it get fixed if in bios, u change the 1st boot device to from sda to sdb??
[05:12] <jack^_> iDRINKbLEACH, if you're trying to boot to your cdrom, you'll need to adjust the bios to boot from that media
[05:12] <Nilu> andyl, also the update manager is gone ...
[05:12] <ActionParsnip> YankDownUnder: your call. Emerald is very dead
[05:12] <ryty_> has anyone had luck with the Marvell 9128 raid chipset?
[05:12] <ryty_> aka Highpoint RocketRaid R640
[05:12] <atc3030|TICKED> no one can help me?
[05:12] <nit-wit> iDRINKbLEACH, you might run this script and pastebin the generated text file for more information. http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/
[05:13] <nit-wit> iDRINKbLEACH, info for us to help you.
[05:13] <iDRINKbLEACH> jack^_ I didn't even add new drive to boot order, it goes from CD rom to drive 0 (the original drive c:\)
[05:13] <ActionParsnip> LoRd_UnDeRwOrLd: you may need to manipulate gconf from tty1. I cannot read while i type, the input UI covers all the screen
[05:13] <ActionParsnip> LoRd_UnDeRwOrLd: are all browsers affected
[05:14] <wols_> atc3030|TICKED: did you run a php based website on your server
[05:14] <YankDownUnder> ActionParsnip, http://ubuntugenius.wordpress.com/2011/05/22/ubuntu-11-04-fix-enable-emerald-themes-for-compiz-fusion-window-borders-title-bars/
[05:14] <jack^_> iDRINKbLEACH, what're you trying to do exactly? boot from cdrom? if so, you need to set the bios to boot from cdrom. if not, point it at your boot disk. hard disk 0 for sda and hard disk 1 for sdb
[05:14] <atc3030|TICKED> apache file repo and starting a website in html/php
[05:14] <ActionParsnip> YankDownUnder: I've used emerald dude.
[05:15] <vikapi> jack^_: will it work if boot order is changed from sda to sdb in bios??
[05:15] <vikapi> jack^_: he might ve installd the boot loader in the sdb..
[05:15] <iDRINKbLEACH> nit-wit can't do pastbin, the computer that I am installing 11.04 has no wifi, ubuntu does not recognize my card yet.
[05:15] <YankDownUnder> ActionParsnip, I'm a die hard. Until there's an easier to way to setup "shading" a window with a roll of the mousewheel, I'll stick with it...
[05:16] <wols_> iDRINKbLEACH: yes grub needs to be installed to the harddrive the BIOS boots from first. this is usually /dev/sda
[05:16] <jack^_> vikapi, the machine will need to boot from whatever disk has the grub installed to the MBR
[05:16] <jack^_> iDRINKbLEACH, ^
[05:16] <nit-wit> iDRINKbLEACH, okay, but that script will seperate the wheat from the chaffe, use a thumb  to transfer from that computer be creative.
[05:17] <ActionParsnip> YankDownUnder: your call dude. I use openbox. Does it with doubleclick :)
[05:18] <ActionParsnip> YankDownUnder: could suggest the functionality on http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com
[05:18] <iDRINKbLEACH> wols_ jack^_ nit-wit In the "allocate drive space" screen I should selecte "/dev/sda/ ATA ST3160812AS (160 GB)" thatis my original "C;\)
[05:18] <YankDownUnder> ActionParsnip, There is a way to do the exact same thing by using gconf-editor to change the gwd settings...
[05:19] <jack^_> iDRINKbLEACH, ok. if you selected sda as yoru boot drive, it will boot from that drive o_O
[05:19] <lsheeba> q
[05:19] <lsheeba> `q
[05:19] <lsheeba> `
[05:19] <iDRINKbLEACH> wols_ jack^_ nit-wit In the "allocate drive space" screen I should selecte "/dev/sda/ ATA ST3160812AS (160 GB)" thatis my original "C;\) Under the "Device for boot loader installation"
[05:20] <jack^_> ok
[05:20] <iDRINKbLEACH> jack^_ it will boot from sda but all the "stuff" can be on sdb?
[05:20] <wols_> iDRINKbLEACH: are you installing ubuntu on a usb drive on a netbook?
[05:20] <jack^_> iDRINKbLEACH, sure
[05:21] <wols_> jack^_: if /boot is on /dev/sdb and is a removable usb device, he will get problems, no "sure" there...
[05:21] <jack^_> wols_, what?
[05:21] <iDRINKbLEACH> wols_ I am installing on a desktop from cd rom
[05:22] <wols_> iDRINKbLEACH: sda and sdb are internal drives?
[05:23] <iDRINKbLEACH> jack^_ I tried doing that and it prompter "no root file system is defined" "Please correct this from the partitioning menu"
[05:23] <iDRINKbLEACH> wols_
[05:23] <jack^_> the only problem i see with boot being on a flash drive is that if you remove it you'll lose boot
[05:23] <wols_> jack^_: you lose your bootloader too. which is kinda bad...
[05:23] <iDRINKbLEACH> wols_ yes, sda 160gb, and sda internal 1tb
[05:23] <jack^_> wols_, indeed
[05:24] <_leif> Does anybody know how to distinguish an Ubuntu Server installation from a Desktop one (from the command line). I guess they differ in their package source lists...
[05:24] <wols_> !fixgrub > iDRINKbLEACH
[05:24] <llutz_> _leif: they don't, just different default packages
[05:25] <wols_> _leif: they don't. only difference is what packages you install. in short, not possible to distinguish (one can easily install ubuntu server and then later install X and gnome on it)
[05:26] <xiaohdtut> hi
[05:26] <iDRINKbLEACH> wols_ sdb is divided under several partitions. /dev/sdb, /dev/sdb1 (ext) 50000mb, /dev/sdb2 swap 3999mb, /dev/sdb7 ext4 99998, and /dev/sdb8 ext4 202515
[05:26] <xiaohdtut> any body here?
[05:27] <rahul> hello
[05:27] <iDRINKbLEACH> ubutto thanks
[05:27] <_leif> llutz_: Thanks. The difference is 3-year vs. 5-year support though, so I wonder how the package manager recognizes that.
[05:27] <iDRINKbLEACH> isn't ubuttu a bot??
[05:27] <iDRINKbLEACH> i mean ubottu
[05:27] <Logan_> !thanks | iDRINKbLEACH
[05:27] <rahul> does anyone know how to launch Citrix Xen App for 11.04
[05:29] <rahul> I have a lenova laptop, installed Citrix ICA client with lib
[05:30] <rahul> but when I try to connect remotely via Mozilla to the office, Citrix Client "Plugin" does not launch
[05:30] <iDRINKbLEACH> wols_ I guess what I really need is instructions on how to install 11.04 on a two harddrive system.
[05:30] <alazare619> anyone know what window manager / desktop enviorment linux mint debian edition is?
[05:32] <iDRINKbLEACH> ubottu I am reading the article but I don't see how this helps during an initial install process
[05:34] <iDRINKbLEACH> does the boot partition have to be in sda???
[05:37] <FIrefly> hello?
[05:38] <lsheeba> sadly i am upset
[05:38] <nit-wit> iDRINKbLEACH, how old is the computer is the second drive a slave?
[05:39] <FIrefly> Um - can anyone help me? I need to save the contents of tty1 - I ran an fsck on my disk, and it printed a whole list of errors - most of which ran out of screen, but i'd like to save it so i can post on the forums. I tried screendump, but it only saves the visible part of tty1. How do I save the whole thing?
[05:39] <lsheeba> i tried running the game it with the diffrent launcher the game screen was black i had alot of work in background , i clicked CONTROL ALT F2 , ps aux to find the process to kill it but sadly the list was long!!!!!! i had to restart gdm by sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart , now everything the way i was multitasking was gone!!!!!!!! thats the big MARK for Linux problem in the market !
[05:40] <lsheeba> if it was windows Control alt delete is suffice
[05:40] <nit-wit> lol
[05:40] <Dreamubuntu> I have install ubunut 11.04 succesfully
[05:40] <iDRINKbLEACH> nit-wit dell e521 about 4-5 years old. new 1tb drive is slave
[05:41] <Dreamubuntu> but i want move the bar in left how can i do that ?
[05:41] <nit-wit> iDRINKbLEACH, is that where ubuntu is
[05:41] <Logan_> Dreamubuntu: You can't move the dock in Unity.
[05:41] <lsheeba> oh man , Linux will die if they dont have a magical solution like control alt delete , ( CTRL + ALT + F2 ) is not the answer to the world!
[05:42] <lsheeba> ps aux the list goes on and i cant scroll up in the VN dialog ( AKA ) CMD screen
[05:42] <andresmh> so I am getting this error when doing apt-get update W: GPG error: http://downloads.skewed.de maverick Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 04C66126D3E62840
[05:42] <Dreamubuntu> so any way to hide it
[05:42] <iDRINKbLEACH> nit-wit do I have to install "/boot" on sda (c:\ master) and put all other files on the sdb (the new slave drive) Originally I tried to install everything on sdb (slave)
[05:42] <Dreamubuntu> and add panel in down
[05:42] <Dreamubuntu> like old ubuntu
[05:42] <nit-wit> lsheeba, I guess the large hadron collider better close now.
[05:42] <lsheeba> im getting a hardon to windows
[05:43] <DasEi> andresmh: sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys   04C66126D3E62840
[05:43] <Dreamubuntu> Guys Any way to delte or move bar in unity
[05:43] <DasEi> andresmh: then update again
[05:43] <lsheeba> private message me il be away if u got an answer!
[05:43] <lsheeba> this is absurd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[05:43] <andresmh> where did you get that hexcode DasEi ?
[05:43] <lsheeba> afk now...
[05:44] <DasEi> andresmh: the string ? errm, your post ?!
[05:44] <Dreamubuntu> Any Way To Hide Or Delete Bar In Unity ?
[05:44] <andresmh> ah doh
[05:44] <Dreamubuntu> or move it
[05:44] <andresmh> i was following the instructions here it is not here http://projects.skewed.de/graph-tool/wiki/GraphToolDownload
[05:44] <sond> ubuntu 10.04.3 server here... will grub "work" with LVM on top of Raid1 or do i need a non-LVM boot partition ?
[05:44] <nit-wit> iDRINKbLEACH, generally ubuntu will boot from the drive it is installed from, but it has to be able to be first in line in the bios or a key promprt to bring uop the boot menu. A sslave wont go first. You could trandfer the ubuntu to the sda and put the grub in its mbr.  Do you have a windows setuo on sda if so hyou could use easybcd probably, which will run on visya and W7 not XP.
[05:45] <nit-wit> bad spelling sorry.;(
[05:45] <Dreamubuntu> any helpz
[05:45] <nit-wit> Dreamubuntu, the top panel?
[05:46] <Dreamubuntu> no the bar
[05:46] <Dreamubuntu> in unity
[05:46] <Dreamubuntu> also i want add thing in top panel ican't
[05:46] <nit-wit> Dreamubuntu, on the leftside?
[05:46] <Dreamubuntu> it's not like old ubunut
[05:46] <Dreamubuntu> yes
[05:46] <jcreek> dreamubuntu, re-boot your system. The first screen is your i.d screen. Click on it. The second screen is to enter your password. At the bottom of the screen you will see , Ubuntu. click on Ubuntu and a menu will pop up. Click on Ubuntu Classic. This will set your desktop to Gnome, untill you change it.
[05:46] <nit-wit> Dreamubuntu, when you boot in there is a classic desktop option in the bottom bar after you choose the user
[05:46] <csdserver> Dreamubuntu, don't reboot, just log out
[05:47] <ActionParsnip> Logging onto freenode is quick today. Like it :)
[05:47] <Dreamubuntu> but can i remove unity ?
[05:47] <Dreamubuntu> from ubuntu
[05:47] <iDRINKbLEACH> nit-wit I am running winxp, In the "allocate drive space" window I assigned and allocated all the partitions on sdb. On the bottom of that window it has a drop down window for "Device for boot loader installation" should I leave that on "/dev/sda/ ATA st3160812As (160GB) (the master)?
[05:47] <csdserver> why would you want to?  it takes up like 500k of data
[05:48] <ActionParsnip> Dreamubuntu: unity 2d is going to replace classic in oneiric, just so you know
[05:48] <jcreek> Dreamubuntu, that will do away with Unity.
[05:48] <nit-wit> iDRINKbLEACH, now we are getting into an area I wont touch without the bootscript.
[05:48] <Dreamubuntu> unity suck
[05:48] <Dreamubuntu> idon't like gnome3 and unity
[05:48] <Dreamubuntu> old gnome is good
[05:49] <DasEi> Dreamubuntu: taste, but lucid is :
[05:49] <DasEi> !lts
[05:49] <yagoo> !ltsp
[05:49] <yagoo> aha
[05:49] <Dreamubuntu> iknow but's it hang all time
[05:49] <ActionParsnip> iDRINKbLEACH: if that is you normal bootable drive then i'd say yes.
[05:49] <Dreamubuntu> ubunut 10.04 is slow in my computer
[05:49] <iDRINKbLEACH> nit-wit it hit the "install" button. worst case scenario, I re-format the drive in winxp and start over, wish me luck.
[05:50] <DasEi> Dreamubuntu: lucid hangs ? ever checked the logs for reason or used a newer kernel ?
[05:50] <ActionParsnip> Dreamubuntu: then use a different desktop environment. There is more than gnome
[05:50] <yagoo> iDRINKbLEACH, install grub to both drives, at the start /dev/sda and /dev/sdb
[05:50] <Dreamubuntu> how can i install openbox ?
[05:51] <nit-wit> iDRINKbLEACH, okay good luck.
[05:51] <ActionParsnip> Dasei: lucid desktop is eol when Natty is eol
[05:51] <Dreamubuntu> also there any way to hide unity bar ?
[05:51] <nit-wit> no
[05:51] <nit-wit> I think.
[05:51] <ActionParsnip> Dreamubuntu: install it like any other application
[05:51] <iDRINKbLEACH> ActionParsnip thanks
[05:52] <yagoo> nit-wit, if you're not sure.. just say you're not sure.. very simple :)
[05:52] <DasEi> Dreamubuntu: sudo apt-get install openbox
[05:52] <iDRINKbLEACH> yagoo how do I put it on both drives
[05:52] <Dreamubuntu> like sudo apt-get install openbox
[05:52] <nit-wit> yagoo, shrug
[05:52] <yagoo> iDRINKbLEACH, what part are u in the installation?
[05:52] <ActionParsnip> Dreamubuntu: unity settings are in ccsm
[05:52] <yagoo> iDRINKbLEACH, if u cant do both now.. just do the master boot drive then..
[05:52] <yagoo> iDRINKbLEACH, is linux spread across the two drives?
[05:52] <ActionParsnip> Dreamubuntu: exactly, or use software centre
[05:52] <Dreamubuntu> ccsm ?
[05:52] <iDRINKbLEACH> I just selected a username and password and it is "saving installed packages...."
[05:52] <Dreamubuntu> where is that ccsm
[05:53] <iDRINKbLEACH> yagoo I just selected a username and password and it is "saving installed packages...."
[05:53] <Dreamubuntu> sorry guys for stupid question
[05:53] <ActionParsnip> Dreamubuntu: press Alt+F2 and run it.
[05:53] <yagoo> iDRINKbLEACH, linux is very flexible.. you can spread linux partitions any way you want.. but since you're new.. it would be easier to stick with one drive
[05:54] <ActionParsnip> Dreamubuntu: its a new OS to you so its understandable
[05:55] <Dreamubuntu> yes it's like a new os
[05:55] <iDRINKbLEACH> yagoo thanks, but is is okay for loader to be on SDA and everything else to be on SDB?? also is loader = GRUB2??
[05:55] <yagoo> iDRINKbLEACH, linux is very flexible..
[05:55] <mcurran> unity is garbage
[05:55] <yagoo> iDRINKbLEACH, you just need to place grub first stage into /dev/sd<Master>
[05:56] <thewarren1> Hi
[05:56] <mcurran> ugliest default desktop i've seen yet
[05:56] <thewarren1> I m totally new
[05:56] <yagoo> iDRINKbLEACH, which is the first drive bios boots into ?(/dev/sda ?)
[05:56] <Dreamubuntu> ccsm now work
[05:56] <ActionParsnip> iDRINKbLEACH: grub2 is the default bootloader. You can use anything else if you can install it (flexibility again)
[05:56] <yagoo> iDRINKbLEACH, then it would be /dev/sda since its the first drive to boot from bios
[05:56] <mcurran> always install grub to native linux installed partition and change active partition as necessary, always best
[05:56] <mcurran> always
[05:56] <blade> with the aticonfig --initial command i get this message: Found fglrx primary device section
[05:56] <blade>  Unable to find any supported Screen sections
[05:57] <Dreamubuntu> ccsm not work
[05:57] <yagoo> mcurran, linux doesn't use the "active" partition flag
[05:57] <ActionParsnip> Dreamubuntu: install compizconfig-settings-manager
[05:57] <mcurran> yes it does
[05:57] <yagoo> mcurran, show me the document link.
[05:57] <nit-wit> lol
[05:57] <mcurran> haha
[05:57] <iDRINKbLEACH> yagoo Houston we may have a problem, Ubuntu is spinning but nothing is happening, 3-4 minutes and no files are installing. ans yes bios is looking for cd first than sda
[05:57] <yagoo> mcurran, so you're wrong.
[05:57] <Dreamubuntu> ok then
[05:57] <mcurran> your telling me if you set your windows partition active and grub is installed on a second partition that grub will still boot?  your nuts
[05:58] <mcurran> booting an active partition has nothing to do with linux it's your bios kid
[05:58] <nit-wit> mcurran, thats haow mine is set up yagoo is correct.
[05:58] <yagoo> iDRINKbLEACH, well if cd is booted into you should um choose shutdown or try using bios 'esc' key to bring up menu at the very least
[05:58] <ActionParsnip> Mcurran: it doesn't, grub loads from mbr then boots the partitions from there
[05:58] <mcurran> not if you don't overwrite your mbr
[05:58] <yagoo> "<yagoo> mcurran, linux doesn't use the "active" partition flag"
[05:58] <yagoo> read that again young one.
[05:59]  * yagoo ignores the troll
[05:59] <mcurran> grub is a bootloader, mbr is a bootloader, a bootsector is irrelevant and your bios selects the active partition
[05:59] <KatronixSerf> Hi all, is there an easy way to change ubuntu desktop to ubuntu server?
[05:59] <yagoo> !ops mcurran trolling
[05:59] <mcurran> get it right people
[05:59] <Dreamubuntu> ican't install compiz-setting-manager
[05:59] <Dreamubuntu> it's give me error
[06:00] <Dreamubuntu> simple-ccsm not avilable
[06:00] <rww> yagoo: "is wrong" and "trolling" are not synonyms.
[06:00] <iDRINKbLEACH> yagoo I clicked on the the box and it is running through a series of packages so I will let it run. It is 2:00am here and I am spent. will let this run and visit it in the morning, thanks for your help (all of you) and goodnight!
[06:01] <ActionParsnip> KatronixSerf: if you add the bootoption: text    then no GUI will run. Same thing. If you have no need for GUI apps then uninstall xorg and the rest will be removed when you run: sudo apt-get autoremove
[06:02] <mcurran> it's always comical to come to this channel and listen to people who think they know, and are totally out there.
[06:02] <rww> mcurran: offtopic cynicism to #ubuntu-offtopic, please :)
[06:02] <ActionParsnip> Dreamubuntu: are you fully updated?

[06:04] <Dreamubuntu> whats problem i install openbox how can i lunch it /?
[06:04] <ActionParsnip> Dreamubuntu: make sure you enable universe repo in software centre
[06:04] <jcreek> Dreamubuntu, Just re-boot.
[06:05] <ActionParsnip> Dreamubuntu: log out, click username then select session in the bottom bar
[06:05] <semitones_> IdleOne, I just installed, shouldn't it already have grub2?
[06:05] <Jaded-Jacob> Has anyone ever had any problems with 'always on top' mode with VLC PLayer on 64bit ubuntu?
[06:05] <mcurran> I can't even get VLC to run
[06:06] <KatronixSerf> ActionParsnip, would that be put into the boot.cfg file?
[06:06] <ActionParsnip> Jaded-Jacob: always been fine the few times i use it
[06:06] <mcurran> plus gnome and amd64 don't play nice with vlc, particularly it's mozilla plugin or any mozilla plugins for that matter
[06:06] <ActionParsnip> KatronixSerf: would what?
[06:06] <IdleOne> semitones: indeed it should but maybe something went wrong during the grub install...looking at a forum post about it now
[06:06] <IdleOne> semitones: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1331730
[06:07] <ActionParsnip> mcurran: or just firefox in general ;-)
[06:07] <semitones_> IdleOne, thanks buddy
[06:07] <semitones_> :)
[06:07] <xgt001> hello i installed lxde in ubuntu 11.04... does lxde come with a dock by default?? as the openbox configuration does show some settings for dock
[06:07] <KatronixSerf> ActionParsnip, the bootoption: text
[06:08] <Mx03> hello!
[06:08] <semitones_> I'll try the chroot method if it will let me
[06:08] <Jaded-Jacob> I'm just about to reinstall ubuntu, but can't decide whether to use kde/gnome/LXDE
[06:08] <lucas49> hi!!
[06:08] <Jaded-Jacob> I know how to switch between them, but I'd rather not have to.
[06:08] <IdleOne> semitones: might be a fix on post #12
[06:08] <lucas49> i getting this error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/650432/ with pynotify + pyqt
[06:08] <ActionParsnip> KatronixSerf: you never edit grub.cfg that file is generated. It even says not to edit it in the file
[06:09] <Dreamubuntu> now  i in openbox
[06:09] <Dreamubuntu> i want to delete unity windows manager
[06:09] <Dreamubuntu> also all other windows manager
[06:09] <Jaded-Jacob> Nice, I like *Box window managers as well
[06:10] <ActionParsnip> KatronixSerf: you add them in the quotes with:  quiet splash    in /etc/default/grub   then run:  sudo update-grub
[06:10] <Jaded-Jacob> ActionParsnip: Cheers man, they must have fixed the bug since I last used it
[06:10] <KatronixSerf> ok
[06:10] <lucas49> anyone know why?
[06:11] <xgt001> does lxde have a dock by default?
[06:11] <ActionParsnip> xgt001: it uses lxpanel which is like gnome panel. A light dock example would be wbar
[06:12] <kleanchap> How do I add more apps to the apps bar on the left?  Do the icons shrink in size or do I need to create a another apps bar?
[06:13] <Dreamubuntu> ActionParsnip, How Can I Delete Other Windows Manger
[06:13] <ActionParsnip> kleanchap: you can drag from dash or rightclick running apps to tell them to be kept

[06:14] <ActionParsnip> Dreamubuntu: its an app like any other. I've never removed it myself so not sure what else it will also remove. I suggest caution
[06:17] <ActionParsnip> Dreamubuntu: i use lxde+openbox+unity2d. Unity2d can easily be pulled out but i'm not sure how interwoven unity is

[06:19] <uw_> hi is anyone here familar with netboot (clients being ubuntu variety)
[06:19] <uw_> netboot as in pxe as some people call it
[06:20] <ubuntuguest> hi is there a way to backup my home folder folder from a live cd ?
[06:21] <aureianimus> so after running normal updates, it now says i don't have the required hardware for unity, how do i discover the culprit and roll back the specific package?
[06:22] <ubuntuguest> I can backup everything as root from the live cd but the permissions of every file changes to "root",
[06:22] <ubuntuguest> I am accessing the drive from a live cd now.
[06:22] <ubuntuguest> ty
[06:23] <ubuntuguest> (btw I have a 3rd drive to backup the files to, but my problem is that it changes the permissions of all the files to root, which I do not want)
[06:24] <compaq> hola
[06:24] <compaq> hello
[06:25] <xgt001> aureianimus: did u install xorg updates or kernel updates?
[06:26] <aureianimus> xgt001, i don't think so, but i don't know where to check that. Also, i'm running bumblebee, which i think updated the nvidia driver, so big chance that's it
[06:27] <xgt001> aureianimus: yes most likely, so u have to reinstall the nvidia driver
[06:27] <jcreek> Ubuntuguest, Try backing up your home folder to another flashdrive. You are stuck with root because you are running from a live disc.
[06:27] <xgt001> aureianimus: most likely the video driver has failed to build against the newer kernel
[06:27] <aureianimus> can i just force it back a version with synaptic?
[06:27] <ubuntuguest> thanks j
[06:27] <ubuntuguest> thanks jcreek
[06:28] <ubuntuguest> not sure what happened to this harddrive,
[06:29] <ubuntuguest> a bad connection caused the comuter to freeze then Ubuntu didn't want to bootup
[06:29] <semitones_> well I can get into the live cd and install grub, but when I boot I still get grub rescue
[06:29] <semitones_> oh well
[06:29] <ubuntuguest> (bad connection on the Harddrive)
[06:29] <semitones_> a task for tomorrow
[06:29] <ubuntuguest> ide
[06:29] <jcreek> Ubuntuguest, you are welcome. Tell me are you able to create files and save them in a live flash drive without any problem?
[06:29] <ubuntuguest> I am backing up to a 3rd drive

[06:40] <gere> tnx yagoo
[06:40] <yagoo> gere, there's also "wall"
[06:40] <yagoo> gere, use "mesg y" "mesg n" to turn on/off
[06:43] <tripelb> is / my home directory? I want  to find .bashrc  it is no there
[06:44] <KM0201> no
[06:44] <KM0201> "/home" is your home directory
[06:44] <tripelb> oh wait, it's not I see home in there
[06:44] <DeezeNuts> having trouble installing firefox 5.0.1 on ubuntu
[06:44] <KM0201> "/" is your root directory
[06:44] <yagoo> tripelb, is the "root" of the filesystem.. the word "root" can also mean the "superuser" (superuser home is /root)
[06:44] <tripelb> KM0201, looking again
[06:44] <IdleOne> tripelb: nano ~/.bashrc
[06:44] <ZykoticK9> KM0201, almost /home/USERNAME is your home directory, or ~ for short.  tripelb
[06:45] <KM0201> ZykoticK9: well, yeah, good point
[06:45] <gere> @yagoo how can i use man talk?
[06:45] <tripelb> right zykes-
[06:45] <yagoo> tripelb, "/" is not "/root" (just to be sure i'm saying this :)
[06:45] <tripelb> right ZykoticK9
[06:45] <yagoo> tripelb, but "/" is "root of the filesystem"
[06:45] <yagoo> lol
[06:45] <KM0201> yagoo: no, but its the root filesystem.
[06:45] <yagoo> KM0201, too late.
[06:45] <KM0201> ah..
[06:45] <KM0201> i'm slow on the uptake tonight
[06:46] <tripelb> lifehacker has these nots how to get ubuntu hints.
[06:46] <IdleOne> gere: you would need to install "talk" apt-cache show talk
[06:46] <tripelb> "there's not root in ubuntu" tripelb recites the chatachism
[06:46] <DeezeNuts> I don't know how to install this tar.bz2 file
[06:46] <DeezeNuts> I forgot
[06:46] <DeezeNuts> for firefox 5 on ubuntu
[06:47] <yagoo> DeezeNuts, .tar.bz2 can only be extracted..
[06:47] <yagoo> DeezeNuts, unless whatever that's in them needs furthering reading.. maybe there's a thirdparty insatller within
[06:47] <Amivit> How do i route all traffic in ubuntu through tor ?
[06:47] <yagoo> DeezeNuts, just use ark..(gui for extracting tarballs)
[06:47] <yagoo> !tarball
[06:48] <DeezeNuts> thank you vagoo
[06:48] <yagoo> !tar
[06:48] <DeezeNuts> gnome it is
[06:48] <tripelb> help again. this says to add "ubuntu-server-tip " to the last line in my .bashrc but I dont think that's right (any more?)
[06:48] <jcreek> Amivit, Have you installed Vidalia?
[06:50]  * yagoo says if u have gnome apps as a preference but need to run KDE apps it's not problem-- except the kdelibraries would be installed-- hence you can run KDE apps on the gnome desktop
[06:50] <Amivit> jcreek, yes, but i dont want to configure specific apps to use the socks proxy, i want to globally route everything through Tor if thats somehow possible?
[06:50] <Amivit> To avoid any lleakage
[06:50] <yagoo> Amivit, you want to tunnely a torrent app?
[06:51] <yagoo> ,/tunnel)
[06:51] <yagoo> Amivit, those apps should have a socks proxy setting..
[06:51] <Amivit> yagoo, No, I just want the piece of mind of wether i will use skype, messenger, my browser or whatever software it should be, that it is through the TOR
[06:51] <tripelb> I did this -->  sudo apt-get install fortunes-ubuntu-server  <-- what did that do?
[06:51] <Amivit> Like a transparent gateway i would ugess its called
[06:52] <onebitxajax> *part
[06:52] <yagoo> !tor
[06:52] <yagoo> (use /msg ubottu if u need more query)
[06:52] <tripelb> Is that good info if you want to become a Tor bridge?
[06:52] <yagoo> no idea..
[06:52] <tripelb> thanks
[06:52] <yagoo> i've heard of tor before but never dwelved into it
[06:53] <yagoo> never used it..
[06:53] <tripelb> yagoo, ZykoticK9 idleone thanks for the basic help.
[06:53] <Amivit> I dont see how that bot can help me since my request is a bit specific
[06:53] <ZykoticK9> tripelb, "fortune" is a cli app that displays little messages (ususally when you log in), in this case, about ubuntu-server
[06:54] <gere> @IdleOne thank you
[06:54] <yagoo> Amivit, if u read it.. "Tor Project recommends using their Tor packages due to past issues with Ubuntu's"
[06:54] <tripelb> ZykoticK9, ok how can I remove what I just did then?
[06:55] <ZykoticK9> tripelb, "sudo apt-get remove fortunes-ubuntu-server" will uninstall it?
[06:55] <Amivit> yagoo, but i dont have issues with what to install. I just want to know if it's possible to route 100% everything through tor transparantly to the apps running in the system.
[06:56] <jcreek> Amivit, I installed Vidalia last week, but haven't set it up yet. However, I ran it in Windows XP and all of my communications then went through it. It was slow, but secure. I am going to Tor and get their advice.
[06:56] <yagoo> Amivit, if install successfully, you should meet up with others who use TOR, you should be asking the other dude :p.. Tor is not a main thing i reckon
[06:56] <tripelb> ZykoticK9, seemed to work, thanks. (first uninstall)
[06:57] <tripelb> Amvit, I'm no expert but I think that's what tor does.
[06:57] <yagoo> I wouldn't trust tor for doing my online banking
[06:57] <yagoo> lol
[06:57] <tripelb> amvit, I just tried something and I think it's your preferred destination!! /join #tor
[06:58] <Amivit> jcreek, but after installing didnt u still have to coinfigure your browser etc., to use the proxy? Thats what I want to avoid. I want to somehow route everything through the proxy whether it be with iptables, or setting up a seperate computer and using that as the default gateway on ubuntu or something like that.
[06:58] <Amivit> thanks tripelb
[06:58] <yagoo> Amivit, i already answered that. You need to setup your apps. Those apps need to have that 'proxy' option..
[06:59] <yagoo> Amivit, this is the basic nature of a proxy server. The client's proxy settings need to be setup.
[06:59] <yagoo> with-tor or not-tor.. proxy is proxy
[07:00] <yagoo> (and if there's no proxy option with the app.. it's still possible to proxy the client but difficult to do so with other external helper tools)
[07:01] <Amivit> I think I understand now, thanks.
[07:01] <namelessinseatle> Greetings
[07:01] <namelessinseatle> what is an alternative to flashget for linux?
[07:01] <yagoo> namelessinseatle, booblashget :P
[07:01] <yagoo> (jk)
[07:02] <namelessinseatle> I need to download a file that's around 2GB
[07:02] <yagoo> namelessinseatle, list of software flashget site:wikipedia.org (google)
[07:02] <yagoo> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_download_managers
[07:03] <yagoo> that was the google 2nd result .. pretty good uh :)
[07:03] <not-really-human> i'm gonna be running Ubuntu in a VM (downloading now).  is Ubuntu much slower in VMWare
[07:03] <jcreek> Amivit , Yes, but it gave me a problem. Here is the thing for me. I have Firefox 5. When I ran it in Firefox before it was compatible. It is not in Firefox 5. Previously I jus went to mozilla add-ons and downloaded  Privoxy, Tor Button, and Vidalia . I had to change the proxy settings but I could get these at Privoxy site. Now I have to figure out if I  should  use Firefox or Chromium.
[07:04]  * yagoo namelessinseatle is lost in seattle
[07:06] <noobish> Can you drop to a root shell in the ubuntu-server cd like you can in the alternate desktop cd? I need to setup swraids on top of swraids and the curses partition editor only allows configuring physical devices as raid components...
[07:07] <kaiyin> how can i backup a list of all packages on the system for the purpose of restoration?
[07:07] <ZykoticK9> !clone | kaiyin
[07:09] <not-really-human> i'm about to try linux for the first time in years
[07:09] <not-really-human> in a VM only, though
[07:10] <ZykoticK9> not-really-human, just FYI, but Unity won't work in VMWare
[07:10] <not-really-human> oh
[07:10] <not-really-human> how comes
[07:10] <sbeck> 3d acceleration
[07:10] <ZykoticK9> not-really-human, VMWare's 3d support is poor
[07:10] <not-really-human> i see
[07:10] <not-really-human> i guess i can run Gnome though
[07:11] <not-really-human> i wonder whether compiz willw ork
[07:11] <not-really-human> will work
[07:11] <ZykoticK9> not-really-human, no compiz
[07:11] <not-really-human> oh.  never mind
[07:11] <ZykoticK9> not-really-human, FYI #2 VirtualBox has some support for both
[07:11] <sbeck> not-really-human, why don't you try it from the live cd?
[07:12] <not-really-human> i'm not sure that i have any spare CDs
[07:12] <not-really-human> and it'd be nice running it at the same time as windows
[07:12] <sbeck> Ah, okay-
[07:12] <not-really-human> Windows*
[07:12] <Byan> anyone here have suspend working with fglrx?
[07:14] <not-really-human> damn, ubuntu is compressed from 16GB to 800MB
[07:14] <adurodea> doubt it
[07:15] <adurodea> and even if it were thats not the greatest...
[07:15] <not-really-human> you can doubt all youw ant
[07:15] <adurodea> theres been video/audio compression of up to 10k:1
[07:15] <adurodea> probably more
[07:15] <adurodea> how is it compressed 16GB to 800MB?
[07:15] <not-really-human> i wasn't aware there was a competition
[07:16] <noobish> yes, it is possible to drop to shell in ubuntu-server install and skip steps
[07:16] <skp-bt> Hello All !!!
