[19:16] <escott> xmd, then figure out what /dev/sdX is the external harddrive, then use the chroot instructions in !grub to run grub-install /dev/sdX
[19:16] <xmd> ok im booting the slamm usb live, do I go into ubuntu live or ubuntu install?
[19:16] <escott> xmd, ubuntu live
[19:17] <escott> xmd, then follow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#ChRoot to chroot yourself into the external drive
[19:17] <xmd> ok im in live....how do i figure out what /dev/sdX is the externalHDD
[19:17] <xmd> ok...
[19:17] <escott> xmd, use the disk utility
[19:17] <xmd> desk utility is the link ?
[19:18] <escott> xmd, no there is a gui tool called disk utility which tells about the disks (im assuming its on the live cd)
[19:18] <escott> xmd, you could also use gparted
[19:18] <xmd> yes im inn it
[19:18] <pietro10> Hi. I'm trying to remount my flash drive so I can run Linux binaries stored on it (I use it thold my source code) and sudo mount -t vfat -o rw,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000,gid=1000,shortname=mixed,dmask=0077,utf8=1,flush /dev/sdb1 /media/FD doesn't apply the execute bits. What's going on? It did work before 11.04 Thanks
[19:18] <xmd> im in disk utility....
[19:18] <willvarfar> oCean, thx; is there a way to do it bulk for all packages?
[19:19] <pietro10> what Disk Utility
[19:19] <PythonSnake> Hi
[19:19] <pietro10> all I know is the OS X Disk Utility
[19:19] <PythonSnake> How to use a command as a prgram to run something ?
[19:19] <beige> Unity & Gnome 3, I tried to use both and hate them. Am I missing something?
[19:20] <xmd> escott: im following the directions in the link
[19:20] <coz_> beige,  probably not...
[19:20] <escott> xmd, find your external drive and then on the right below the "Volumes" it should say what device it is.
[19:20] <coz_> PythonSnake,  which program do you want to run?
[19:20] <beige> coz_, I understand how to use them but having to bring up that dash in g3 to change applications is annoying
[19:21] <oCean> willvarfar: I never heard of a tool that could do that in bulk. In /var/log/apt/history.log you can find your recent updates though
[19:21] <coz_> beige,  the "trend" towards an appliance interface,, image drivern menus instead of list driven menus,, has thrown many people off balance
[19:21] <xmd> escott can i private chat you for a sec?
[19:21] <willvarfar> oCean, thx
[19:22] <xmd> escott: I am following the directions in the link, I also have the Disk Utility, the directions in the link become compliated after step 4
[19:22] <beige> coz_indeed
[19:22] <coz_> beige,  you can just use classic gnome in 11.04  or in gnome3  the fallback mode
[19:22] <pietro10> or kubuntu, xubuntu, ubuntu studio (GNOME2 now, xfce later), etc.
[19:23] <pietro10> or another distro -- find whichever is right for you =P
[19:23] <pietro10> brb
[19:23] <coz_> beige,  gnome3 in fallback mode is pretty nice  and compiz runs fine but for a few plugins,, mainly be cause gnome3  no longer uses desktop windows
[19:24] <coz_> beige,  that can be overcome by using the wallpaper plugin
[19:26] <coz_> beige,  the biggest complaint I am hearing about gnome3, are the lack of settings,, many are either hidden or removed
[19:28] <beige> coz_ I know a few who have moved to Mint as they kept the classic gnome interface as defacto
[19:29] <coz_> beige,  gnome3 isnt that bad ,, especially in fall back mode,, at least compiz works,, the lack of settings is often a sore point and a " not so smart" move in my opinion
[19:30] <sysop-work> hey I have messed up the sudoers file and I dont know the root pw. what can I do?
[19:31] <escott> sysop-work, livecd to fix sudoers file
[19:33] <cdavis> How can I change my cpu mhz in natty?
[19:33] <cdavis> I have an i7 which could run at 2.67 but /proc/cpus says they are running at 1199
[19:34] <escott> cdavis, its likely the power throttling you may be able to make it more aggressive with some files in /sys
[19:35] <webpower> how to remove the letter icon near time in natty?
[19:35] <fairuz> afaik, when it has nothing to do it will do frequency scaling (lower the freq to minimize power usage)
[19:35] <trism> webpower: it is the indicator-messages package, uninstalling it will remove the envelope
[19:36] <trism> webpower: you may need to log out/back in to see the change
[19:36] <sisker> Anyone know how to get ATI driver version from command prompt, using the proprietary 11.6 drivers, but don't know how to see that without opening up CCC app.
[19:36] <c|oneman> where are the desktop effects in 11.04?
[19:37] <coz_> cjaredrun,  Unity or classic?
[19:37] <sysop-work> escott, thanks thats the conclusion I reached as well.
[19:38] <raven> how to record soundcard output?
[19:39] <webpower> trism, ok, thanks
[19:39] <webpower> another thing
[19:39] <webpower> when i log in, it asks me to type the key logger password
[19:39] <webpower> it's boring :\
[19:39] <raven> how to record soundcard output?
[19:39] <BryanRuiz> im trying to enable the partner repository, what is the tool i need to install to do that?
[19:40] <ubuntu_noob> sec_goat?
[19:41] <Dcite> BryanRuiz: Synatic Package manager -> Repositories -> 2nd tab?
[19:41] <wildc4rd> evenin all
[19:42] <BryanRuiz> thx Dcite
[19:43] <uragan> hi
[19:44] <DMKitsch> hia
[19:44] <DMKitsch> hi
[19:44] <uragan> how unpack ddd.rar into ubuntu ?
[19:44] <uragan> propperly
[19:45] <DMKitsch> iv'e just installed PHPMyAdmin, how do i access it online?
[19:45] <raven> how to record soundcard output?
[19:45] <uragan> how extract files from .rar into ubuntu
[19:45] <fairuz> uragan: unrar
[19:45] <escott> !info unrar | uragan
[19:45] <BryanRuiz> DMKitsch: read the tutorial by googling ubuntu phpmyadmin and then visit http://localhost/phpmyadmin
[19:45] <uragan> oi
[19:46] <uragan> i know about that
[19:46] <escott> raven, arecord in alsa-utils is a real minimal recorder for alsa
[19:46] <uragan> see my quest attantivly
[19:46] <uragan> who?
[19:47] <fairuz> DMKitsch: You can make it online if your PC is accessible from outside. (e.g you have a fixed IP)
[19:47] <trism> uragan: installing unrar allows Archive Manager (file-roller) to extract them, or you can use: unrar e filename.rar; from the command line (if that was your second question)
[19:47] <DMKitsch> ook
[19:47] <io> uragan: '$ sudo apt-get install unrar; unrar ddd.rar'
[19:48] <io> or whatever options unrar requires
[19:48] <DMKitsch> BryanRuiz i followed this: http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_lamp_for_newbies
[19:48] <wiggmpk> can anyone pastebin their /etc/default/grub
[19:49] <uragan> from terminal i do not whant
[19:49] <DMKitsch> BryanRuiz it said how to install it but it has not appeared in the www folder :/
[19:49] <raven> escott, ok but how to route the souncard out to arecord?
[19:49] <uragan> may be easy way for unpacking?
[19:49] <io> uragan: then install 'unrar' through a GUI package manager and then use Archive Manager to extract it
[19:49] <fairuz> uragan: That's is easy, 2 line command
[19:49] <uragan> without terminal
[19:50] <escott> raven, ok sorry didnt read that closely enough. im not really sure how to do that.
[19:50] <fairuz> install unrar, then right clock on the archive then you can unpack it that way
[19:50] <Michiellll-lapto> can anyone tell me how to get menus at the top&bottom instead of having this fancy bar on the side?
[19:50] <io> the Terminal method is alot easier, though
[19:50] <shockrates> hey
[19:50] <SubCool> i am having a problem with my phone. WHen i plug it in, i receive this error. [79185.320244] usb 1-1: device descriptor read/64, error -71

[19:50] <wonka_> this is such a weird error
[19:51] <Michiellll-lapto> fairuz, i tried that but it was grey :S
[19:51] <nestea> Is it possible for linux to have two connections open at the same time (say eth0 to stream to my ps3) and wlan0 for my inet connection
[19:51] <nestea> I don't wanna have to choose between watching my movies, and playing on the inet
[19:52] <escott> nestea, yes, the routing is the tricky bit
[19:52] <shockrates> how is the last ubuntu codenamed?
[19:52] <fairuz> DMKitsch: Do you have /var/www ?
[19:52] <nestea> okay, mind helping me figure out how to do this exactly? cause thats what im trying to do w/ Knetwork manager
[19:52] <io> !codenames | shockrates
[19:52] <nestea> (i dont mind using something else if it is required)
[19:53] <Michiellll-lapto> fairuz, last time it said i didnt have the hardware to  use unity and it was like that, i reinstalled and now i have this
[19:53] <Michiellll-lapto> i dont like it
[19:53] <Michiellll-lapto> but i dont want it to be gray
[19:53] <nestea> or atleast point me to a guide?
[19:54] <escott> nestea, a few more specifics are needed, exactly what are you trying to accomplish.
[19:54] <nestea> okay, well I just wanna stream say my movies/music from my laptop here to my ps3
[19:54] <daniel__> if i am compressing files what is the best format to compress in .zip .tar.gz ect
[19:54] <nestea> but I still wanna be able to say go on facebook while said streaming is going on
[19:54] <wiggmpk> can anyone give me a pastebin on their default/untouched /etc/default/grub please
[19:55] <nestea> wlan0 is my inet connection while eth0 is going through my router to hook up to the ps3
[19:55] <pythonirc101> I'm running ubuntu server , am new to ubuntu server...I've run centos before. Is it ok to put an ubuntu server with ssh open on the web? Is there any security issues i should look into before i do this? Just ssh port. Later on i plan to open http port, but not yet.
[19:55] <DMKitsch> fairuz yes i do have var/www
[19:56] <DMKitsch> fairuz i just make a link from the phpmyadmin to the directory so now it is working but i get a #1045 Cannot log in to the MySQL server
[19:56] <escott> !best | daniel__ if it is for other unix systems tar.* is often preferred

[19:58] <uragan> ok tommorow
[19:58] <daniel__> escott, ok first of all it isnt a poll  am asking witch would be best for my ubuntu as there are so many options i am looking to make the file as small as i can so what is the best for that
[19:58] <uragan> i go to sleep
[19:58] <uragan> by
[19:58] <uragan> 66
[19:59] <Guest33871> 'lo
[20:00] <nestea> daniel__, well .tar.gz is actually very good but if you really wanna do it i've noticed a slight difference between .tar.gz and tar.bz2
[20:00] <escott> daniel__, the highest compression is probably lzma. not sure if lzma does directories, but you could tar and then lzma the file. see what wikipedia says about compression programs
[20:00] <nestea> which is bunzip2
[20:00] <nestea> true, didn't even consider lzma
[20:00] <daniel__> ok thanks thats what i was looking for
[20:00] <raven> how to record soundcard output?
[20:02] <nestea> escott, know where I might be able to find  guide or something that could help me with my question?
[20:03] <escott> nestea, i think what you need is either samba or ftp or something
[20:03] <escott> nestea, its a question of what your ps3 supports
[20:03] <nestea> =\
[20:04] <xmd> I am a new user of ubunut and have i spent the past 24 hours trying to get ubuntu to allow me to install the fricken program on my external hardrive
[20:04] <nestea> hm
[20:04] <wabi> can i say "pussyfucking" here without beeing banned ? smile
[20:04] <nestea> i've tried that
[20:04] <xmd> I finally successfully installed in on my externalHDD and nwo it won boot
[20:04] <xmd> when i boot it says error: file not found.
[20:04] <escott> if you install dhcp-server on your ubuntu system and configure it to serve ip addresses in 192.168.2.* on eth0
[20:04] <xmd> grub rescue>
[20:04] <nestea> i guess i just dont know what im doing (as another thing im on a mobile hot spot for inet, and it doesn't have file sharing like a normal router hence why im going this route)
[20:04] <wabi> wow..an ubuntu help channel :) without girls..gg
[20:05] <DMKitsch> fairuz THANKS! i got it working now
[20:05] <fairuz> DMKitsch: no problem
[20:05] <raven> how to record soundcard output?
[20:06] <DMKitsch> fairuz i have 3 databases, are they all mandatory (i just set it all up)
[20:06] <faz_> is there a way i can get info on the packages in apt-get w/o having to install them first? (for instance: there are 24 mysql-* packages, how do i know which i want to install?)
[20:06] <fairuz> DMKitsch: I normally just let them
[20:06] <LjL> fairuz: apt-cache show packagename
[20:06] <DMKitsch> fairuz ok thank you for the help :)
[20:06] <escott> nestea, i think what you need is dhcp-server on ubuntu serving 192.168.2.*. samba on ubuntu serving folders, maybe also dnsmasq if you want ps3 to connect to the internet through the ubuntu
[20:07] <fairuz> LjL not for me =)
[20:07] <LjL> fairuz: oh sorry
[20:07] <xmd> can anyone help me as to why i cannot boot ubuntu off my external hdd?
[20:07] <LjL> faz_: apt-cache show packagename
[20:07] <nestea> yeah i dont want my ps3 on the inet through this machine
[20:07] <nestea> I could just connect it to the inet through the hotspot if i wanted it on the inet
[20:09] <jjovereats> Hello!
[20:09] <nestea> Hi
[20:09] <Manorie> anyone software programmer living in London, need advice?
[20:09] <oCean> Manorie: if you have an ubuntu support question, just ask
[20:10] <DMKitsch> bye bye everyone
[20:10] <raven> how to record soundcard output?
[20:10] <mguy> I'm trying to install Ubuntu 11.04-destkop-amd64.iso in VirtualBox 4.0.8, and the installer tells me I don't have a 64-bit chip
[20:10] <jjovereats> My Tgz backups aren't working, should I use md5 to test? It says /home/me/Videos/somefilename.dv-avi: File shrank by "apparently whole size $(\`)", padding w/ zeros.
[20:10] <mguy> I have 64-bit virtual machines running so I don't know why it would say that
[20:10] <nestea> escott: dhcp is being handled by the router which I have setup for the <IP_ADDRESS> area
[20:11] <mguy> jjovereats: why woudl you gzip an AVI file
[20:11] <jjovereats> Backup to miniDV tape using dvbackup
[20:11] <jjovereats> s/woudl/would/g Correction contributed by Jack J
[20:12] <nestea> im just trying to set up my laptop to handle the eth0 connection to talk to my ps3 so I can stream movies/music to it and then still get on facebook w/o having to go into my network manager, interrupting said movies/music just to check up on my FB
[20:12] <nestea> but getting on the internet requires a constant connection to my wireless internet connection
[20:12] <jjovereats> nestea: the setup should ALREADY be working.
[20:12] <wiggmpk> can someone tell me how to regenerate the default /etc/default/grub or pastebin an untouched copy so I can compare my changes (trying to work backwards and lost some info in the process)
[20:12] <nestea> but its not
[20:13] <oCean> mguy: you need to check whether your cpu has VT capabilities. Run   egrep '(vmx|svm)' /proc/cpuinfo
[20:13] <jjovereats> mguy: I am backing it up to another PC
[20:13] <nestea> right now, cause im using my wireless i can't get my ps3 to read that I have my eth0 hooked up to my laptop too
[20:13] <mguy> oCean: I didn't select Ubuntu (64-bit) when I created the VM
[20:13] <escott> nestea, right ps3 --eth0--> ubuntu --wlan0--> router. you need dhcp on the ubuntu binding to eth0 to serve ips to ps3 (or you configure both ubuntu and ps3 as static on a different subdomain than the one served by router)
[20:14] <nestea> think I just got confused lol
[20:14] <escott> nestea, so if router serves 192.168.1.* serve 192.168.2.* between ubuntu and ps3
[20:14] <brunos> wts
[20:14] <oCean> mguy: even if your host os runs 64 bit, that does not mean your guests can
[20:14] <oCean> mguy: oh wait, other guests do run 64 bit?
[20:14] <xmd> can anyone please help me with my i cant boot ubuntu from my external HDD
[20:15] <nestea> yes
[20:15] <jjovereats> xmd: NEI: Not Enough Info. The opposite of TMI.
[20:15] <mguy> oCean: Yes I have other 64-bit VMs running, I fixed the problem
[20:15] <nestea> but my mobile hot spot is different than my router
[20:15] <oCean> mguy: oh, nice
[20:15] <wiggmpk> xmd: does your bios recognize the external HDD? what media are you using to connect said HDD?
[20:15] <nestea> sec
[20:15] <Luxe> Do you guys know of any way I could get all of my music off my iPod touch via Ubuntu?
[20:15] <nicofs> Is there someone around who is familiar with the Diagram Editor?
[20:15] <nestea> installing the server
[20:16] <jjovereats> 600ms lag here! Need help with t3h backup I'm doing. It's erroring.
[20:16] <xmd> jjovereats:  I have installed ubuntu to my external (usb) HDD... I installed it from a live boot on another 4GB flash drive.  The installation on the external HDD was successful, but now the external HDD will not boot
[20:16] <xmd> when i boot it gives me error: file not found grub rescue>
[20:16] <Luxe> -.-
[20:16]  * Luxe sits.
[20:16] <mguy> What's the error?
[20:16] <nestea> okay
[20:16] <escott> nestea, the important bit is to make sure your gateway is always the router
[20:16] <jjovereats> Interesting. Have you tried installing grub?
[20:16] <Luxe> Do any of you guys know how I could sync my iPod with Ubuntu?
[20:16] <xmd> yse, i just spent an hour isntalling grub
[20:16] <xmd> with the help of a very knowledgable member
[20:16] <nestea> k
[20:16] <xmd> the installation of grub on the external hdd did nothing
[20:17] <xmd> even when i go to my boot menu and pick the external HDD, it still give me the error
[20:17] <nestea> but thats not changing the problem that KNetwork manager isn't letting me have two active connections at once instead of just one
[20:17] <xmd> the hdd had no problem booting a live verison las night
[20:17] <xmd> but now cannot boot the full installed version
[20:17] <mguy> jjovereats: what is your error
[20:17] <xmd> this is very frustarting
[20:17] <wiggmpk> !enter | xmd
[20:17] <xmd> I am a new user and am interested in using ubuntu
[20:17] <azv4> anyone ever setup a helpdesk program?
[20:17] <xmd> ok sorry,
[20:17] <jjovereats> mguy: It's that the file shrunk by it's full size. WT?
[20:17] <wiggmpk> xmd: LIVE CD's do not use HDD to operate
[20:18] <RichardS> external HDD arn't meant to run operating systems, their meant for storage. Maybe you should use a internal HD instead.
[20:18] <xmd> wiggmpk: what do you meant?
[20:18] <xmd> i dont have any internal hdds
[20:18] <RichardS> you dont have a internal hard drive?
[20:18] <wiggmpk> xmd: when you boot a live CD, it is totally operating from RAM and the CD, doesnt ever touch the HDD untill you install it
[20:18] <xmd> RichardS: so your solution is to totally just forget i ever tried using an external HDD?
[20:18] <raven> how to record soundcard output?
[20:19] <nestea> my mobile hotspot is not connected to the router in any way shape or form
[20:19] <xmd> well i installed it on the external HDD
[20:19] <wiggmpk> xmd: how is the external HDD connected? External SATA / USB ?
[20:19] <xmd> USB
[20:19] <jjovereats> The archive is UNCOMPRESSED. how do I specify DO NOT COMPRESS on the CMD line.
[20:19] <Luxe> -.-
[20:19]  * Luxe was totally ignored.
[20:19]  * jjovereats was ALSO ignored.
[20:20] <Luxe> Srsly.
[20:20] <wiggmpk> xmd: what type of installation? Basic? Raid? All information given can help anyone better diagnose the problem.. what were the results of the GRUB installation when you installed it?
[20:20] <antihero> Any idea why my DVD drive isn't showing up?
[20:20] <mguy> jjovereats: I bet your script is bad, can you pastebin it along with your error?
[20:20] <Luxe> o.o
[20:21] <nestea>  k, well I got dhcp-server installed..
[20:21] <Luxe> Do any of you have any idea how I can get my music off my iPod touch via Ubuntu?
[20:21] <antihero> My /dev/cdrom seems to be symlinked to /dev/sr0
[20:21] <jjovereats> mguy: it's no script. it's a 1liner.
[20:21] <mguy> Luxe: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone
[20:22] <mguy> jjovereats: What's the line?
[20:22] <wiggmpk> Luxe: there are several media players that support ipod or ipad syncing plugins
[20:22] <xmd> wiggmpk: everything went perfect witht he grubinstalltion, it says installtion successful.... as for what type of instalation... I installed ubuntu 11.04 onto my external HDD from the smaller live usb
[20:22] <Luxe> I'm not looking to sync them per say.
[20:23] <Luxe> I'm looking to actually get the music OFF.

[20:23] <wiggmpk> Luxe: unless you previously sync the ipod to the computer, doing so would be illegal
[20:23] <Pici> jjovereats: tar has no compression.
[20:23] <sysop-work> how can I mount a perc5 from the boot cd?
[20:23] <jjovereats> Pici: But it says it shrank the files.
[20:24] <xmd> wiggmpk: everything went perfect witht he grubinstalltion, it says installtion successful.... as for what type of instalation... I installed ubuntu 11.04 onto my external HDD from the smaller live usb
[20:24] <wabi> mhhh.. is there someone please that can help me out.. on /nickserv and recovering password ?
[20:24] <mguy> jjovereats: it's just a notification message
[20:24] <Pici> jjovereats: What exactly did it say?
[20:24] <LjL> wabi: ask #freenode
[20:24] <wiggmpk> xmd: how did you install grub? terminal via the livecd? are you sure you installed it to the right /dev/sda or /dev/hda
[20:24] <jjovereats> Things like: tar: /home/jack/Year 6 backup/Jack J/PAc/PortableApps/FocusWriterPortable/Data/FocusWriterData/Themes/Images/1d41b584f4f46d103c284457ef44e25c0e5fdff2.bmp: File shrank by 1366326 bytes; padding with zeros
[20:24] <wabi> thanx, LjL
[20:25] <oCean> jjovereats: I've seen that when tar'ing files in corrupted filesystems, sparse files (such as virtual machine disks with space reserved) and pseudo filesystems as /proc
[20:25] <jjovereats> Should I remount R/O and run an FSCK?
[20:25] <Luxe> wiggmpk, -.- I bought all the music from CDs -.-
[20:25] <wiggmpk> luxe: then re-rip them to your hard-drive..
[20:26] <wabi> and i still like to say "pussy" LjL ;) even if its not topic of this channel ;).. grin
[20:26] <wiggmpk> luxe: transfering music from a portable device to another PC without the music already being on that PC is file sharing and illegal and wont be helped here
[20:26] <Luxe> -.0
[20:26]  * Luxe laughs.
[20:26] <samuel> holaa
[20:26] <xmd> terminal via the live CD  yes i installed it to the correct /dev/sdb
[20:26] <Luxe> Like anything in Ubuntu it legal -.-
[20:26] <wiggmpk> luxe: is FOSS why dont you google it
[20:26] <DMKitsch> what permissions are attached to ///var/www
[20:26] <samuel> holllaaaa
[20:27] <Pici> DMKitsch: What does ls say? ls -ld /var/www/
[20:27] <DMKitsch> drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2011-06-27 19:53 /var/www/
[20:27] <DMKitsch> does that mean my current user has no access?
[20:28] <wiggmpk> Luxe: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_and_open_source_software so you can understand what ubuntu is and stands for
[20:28] <DMKitsch> user of 'Dave'
[20:28] <Pici> DMKitsch: Correct.
[20:28] <DMKitsch> ok so how do i use chmod to set permissions to full for me
[20:28] <HamsterLord|Away> Hello
[20:28] <HamsterLord|Away> I have an ubuntu flash drive
[20:29] <jjovereats> how do i correct these weird errors i am getting
[20:29] <HamsterLord|Away> Can I run ubuntu inside windows from an ubuntu flash drive?
[20:29] <escott> Luxe, if it doesn't present itself as usb mass storage accessible in the file browser, then you have to rely on the apple sync protocol which requires that your computer have a key to that device
[20:29] <DMKitsch> pici i am the administrator
[20:29] <DMKitsch> pici how do i set my permissions to full if i log into root
[20:29] <mbeierl> can anyone point me to a good place for help on recovering trucated files on a VFAT filesystem?  (think echo "" > file.mp3, not rm file.mp3).  fsck.vfat is finding chains of dangling data, and files whose chain length is >0 bytes, but it keeps wanting to truncate the files, not chain them back
[20:30] <Luxe> True escott. Thank your for your help.
[20:30] <escott> !undelete | mbeierl
[20:31] <Pici> DMKitsch: Some may say this is a security risk, but I tend to set ownership to www-data:www-data and then put myself in the www-data group.
[20:31] <DMKitsch> pici ah ok that makes sense :)
[20:31] <aquarat> To Everyone : Has anyone ever had audio regularly shifting pitch on playback ?
[20:31] <DMKitsch> pici thank you for the help
[20:32] <DMKitsch> bbl
[20:32] <Pici> jjovereats: Don't do that ever again.
[20:32] <IdleOne> jjovereats: Please don't nick spam like that
[20:32] <jjovereats> I am weird :S.
[20:32] <aquarat> lol
[20:32] <mbeierl> escott: thanks, but i need something a little deeper, and specifically for an external usb compact flash card, which would be vfat, not ext
[20:33] <jjovereats> im tired of this.
[20:33] <escott> mbeierl, yeah i had hoped it would recommend a vfat undelete command
[20:34] <escott> mbeierl, try testdisk
[20:34] <mbeierl> escott: that's the problem.  This is not a case of undelete, the file does exist, just with no content anymore
[20:35] <mbeierl> escott: urg.  testdisk wants to work with the raw device, not the image of the device I took...
[20:35] <escott> mbeierl, its the same principle though. finding file chains and joining them together. you could use dd to image the disk, loop mount it, and then delete the file, and then see if undelete can get it back
[20:35] <jjovereats> I'm trying to make use of what little bandwidth (11MB/s) I have over Ethernet. And I have to back up my files SOON.
[20:36] <jjovereats> Why are the files shrinking like that?
[20:36] <PythonSnake> Hi
[20:36] <PythonSnake> I switched to gnome
[20:36] <PythonSnake> now my touchpad wont disable when my ms plugged
[20:36] <gagan> hi

[20:37] <guntbert> !backtrack | gagan
[20:37] <VCoolio> I only find netbook edition for 10.04; does that mean I should use desktop iso's for notebooks too?
[20:37] <popey> VCoolio: yes
[20:37] <popey> VCoolio: netbook and desktop versions are rolled together now
[20:37] <VCoolio> that's quick :) ok, thanks
[20:37] <guntbert> VCoolio: its just opposed to "server"
[20:38] <VCoolio> I see, no server for me
[20:38] <popey> VCoolio: you want 10.04?
[20:38] <popey> or something newer
[20:38] <PythonSnake> help
[20:38] <VCoolio> no, not really; newer I think, it's for my sister, quite old laptop, what would you recommend popey? no unity I think
[20:39] <popey> VCoolio: i generally recommend new users have 11.04 and unity
[20:39] <VCoolio> my sis is going to be first time user
[20:39] <popey> VCoolio: try a few and decide for yourself / herself
[20:39] <VCoolio> I could boot both live cds and let her choose, no biggy
[20:39] <io> gagan: please don't message me
[20:39] <matt__> ubuntu
[20:39] <PythonSnake> VCoolio: Go to gnome 3 like me
[20:39] <matt__> ooooo
[20:40] <VCoolio> PythonSnake: I did for myself, I'm not going to break 11.04 like that for a first time user, I'm no 24h helpdesk
[20:40] <jjovereats> Hello!!!!!?????
[20:40] <invlpg[1]> how i view all the open windows on ubuntu unity, like the task bars in gnome? no one knows? o:
[20:40] <gagan> how do i connect my usb modem in bt
[20:41] <Pici> jjovereats: hi
[20:41] <robokop_> adghfhgdfh
[20:41] <io> gagan: you've been told multiple times that we don't provide support for backtrack in this channel
[20:42] <jjovereats> Pici: Why is it doing what it is doing?
[20:42] <Pici> jjovereats: What was wrong with the response that oCean gave you?
[20:42] <jjovereats> It was weird.....
[20:43] <Pici> jjovereats: You didn't ask him to explain or anything, it looks like you just ignored it.
[20:43] <jjovereats> Ok. then.
[20:43] <escott> PythonSnake, you can disable it with xinput
[20:44] <jjovereats> oCean, could you please explain your weirdness about FSCHK and the shrank file?
[20:44] <PythonSnake> escott: I want to disable it when my mouse is plugged in
[20:44] <escott> PythonSnake, xinput list to find the device id, xinput list-props to find the enabled property then try to set-prop to 0 for "Enabled"
[20:44] <escott> PythonSnake, not sure how to make it happen automatically on mouse hotplug though
[20:45] <PythonSnake> escott: Configuring it..
[20:45] <oCean> jjovereats: I was just sharing my experience. I've seen such messages when making (tar) backups of for example sparse files. Those are files with 'reserved' space
[20:45] <oCean> jjovereats: but I've also seen that when trying to backup a corrupted file, actually a file on a corrupted filesystem
[20:45] <ice9> I'm trying to file share between windows (xp, vista, and/or win7) with ubuntu, but when I go into the "windows network" it says it can't mont
[20:46] <ice9> can't mount*
[20:46] <spc_in_plc> PythonSnake, Under system settings >> Mouse and Touchpad
[20:46] <jjovereats> oCean, I don't get it. Explain in a PM.
[20:46] <IdleOne> jjovereats: Could you please drop the sarcastic attitude and ask a proper question with details so as to make it easier for you to get the help you need.
[20:46] <oCean> jjovereats: no thank you
[20:47] <jjovereats> :S
[20:49] <jjovereats> oCean, is it indicative of a problem, on a server that has been running for yonks?
[20:50] <PythonSnake> How to set gnome as default ?
[20:50] <econdudeawesome> howdy all. I'm installing Matlab (32bit student version R2010A) on 64 bit Ubuntu 11.04. I cannot seem to figure out how to get the graphical installer to work. (files downloaded from Mathworks website, NOT CD)
[20:51] <oCean> jjovereats: that *could* be, I'm just sharing what I've encountered. It also happens when performing tar backup of /sys and sometimes of already-tarrred-and-gzipped files.
[20:51] <spc_in_plc> econdudeawesome, mmmm did you check permissions?
[20:51] <m4rv1nx> hi
[20:52] <hail2> hello all
[20:52] <jjovereats> oCean, and it happens to AVI's and BMP's.
[20:52] <econdudeawesome> spc_in_plc: I'm installing via sudo
[20:53] <oCean> jjovereats: see if you can restore the file(s) and if they're fine or not. That's really all I can give you right now
[20:54] <jjovereats> Well i'll restart and do an md5summer of the restored file and the original.
[20:55] <spc_in_plc> econdudeawesome, go to matlab folder
[20:55] <muszek> hi... I need to find out make/model of my cd/dvd drive... how do I do it?
[20:55] <econdudeawesome> spc_in_plc: k
[20:56] <spc_in_plc> econdudeawesome, type ./matlab
[20:56] <th0r> muszek: lspci?
[20:56] <econdudeawesome> spc_in_plc: the problem is in the installation, not in running it
[20:57] <muszek> th8r: it doesn't show anything containing either "cd" or "dvd" (lower and uppercase)
[20:57] <anuraag> hi new to ubuntu... youtube not working on fierfox or chorme what to do
[20:58] <spc_in_plc> econdudeawesome, oh okay. did you search iin the MATLAB forum?
[20:58] <D-F3NS> hi folks, tried to update my ubuntu 10.10 today, it found some updates and a new kernel. but it was not possible to install the new kernel (grey..)
[20:58] <th0r> muszek: I found mine using lshw

[20:59] <robin0800_> muszek: disk utility can do that
[20:59] <econdudeawesome> spc_in_plc: yes
[20:59] <io> D-F3NS: any error?
[21:00] <xangua> PythonSnake: system>prefs>appearence
[21:00] <oCean> muszek: try  sudo lshw -C disk
[21:00] <D-F3NS> no error, just greyed out. tried to update my 11.04 too, but no new kernel was available
[21:01] <PythonSnake> xangua: I don't find that
[21:01] <rymo> using a trackpad under Natty with twinview display (3200x1200), horizontal mouse movements way more sensitive than vertical - can this be fixed?
[21:01] <robin0800_> D-F3NS: there is a new kernel in proposed if you enable it
[21:02] <Tyrnis> plop all
[21:02] <D-F3NS> robin0800_, mhh?
[21:02] <Concurssi> So can
[21:02] <Concurssi> So can somebody help me?
[21:02] <muszek> th8r: plain lshw helped.  robin0800_, oCean: thanks :)
[21:02] <oCean> muszek: welcome!
[21:03] <th0r> Concurssi: no one knows anything about that problem
[21:03] <rypervenche> Concurssi: What exactly did it show you?
[21:03] <D-F3NS> robin0800_,  im using Linux version 2.6.38-8-generic. guess its not the newest?
[21:04] <Concurssi> It's just asking me to configure kerberos authentification. Specifically it's asking me specify a "default kerberos version 5 realm"
[21:04] <bittin_> i use 26.38.10

[21:04] <sveinse> Anyone else who has recently got problems with chromium and facebook? My new post tab (the world next to the fb logo, upper right corner) isn't clickable any more. Just inverts the symbol
[21:04] <robin0800_> D-F3NS: no 10 is you enable proposed in software sources
[21:05] <rypervenche> sveinse: Are you using your neighbor's connection? lol
[21:06] <sveinse> eh? sorry?
[21:06] <jimcooncat> rypervenche: not everyone knows the old upside-down-graphics-transparent-proxy trick
[21:07] <D-F3NS> guntbert,  well i was wonderin coze my 10.10 can be upgraded but my 11.04 not
[21:07] <jjovereats> Re: my error: And even --sparse had an error. Woop.
[21:08] <rypervenche> jimcooncat: No, but it would still help us to narrow down the problem.
[21:08] <ChrisSeifried> I have a problem with Oneiric after installation.  It hangs on "Checking for running unattended-upgrades:" while booting up.
[21:09] <xangua> ChrisSeifried: not supported here
[21:09] <sveinse> It seems none of the pop-up menus next to the facebook logo is working in my chromium. It does in firefox. (I'm on Natty, amd64)
[21:09] <ChrisSeifried> Woops I'm sorry!  Would the Bug Squad be of any help?
[21:10] <Pici> ChrisSeifried : Oneiric/11.10 is not yet released. Please join #ubuntu+1 for further support and discussion.
[21:10] <rymo> "xserver-xorg-input-synaptics is already the newest version" so why are my circles looking like squashed ovals?
[21:10] <guntbert> D-F3NS: then I don't know, I am running 2.6.38-8 as well
[21:11] <ChrisSeifried> Alright thankyou!
[21:11] <Concurssi> Well, I just pressed return on all the kerberos prompts. I hope it works

[21:18] <PythonSnake> is GNOME 3 slower than Unity ?
[21:18] <Trfsrfr> Why do the apps on my task bar just randomly disappear?
[21:19] <PythonSnake> It slows down a bit when I switch window/workspace
[21:19] <kajakajo> Trfsrfr, because they hate you.
[21:19] <jjovereats> No errors so far with my current backup pipeline (tar cvf - somefileshere | ssh me@somepc --command "cat > /home/me/somefilenamehere.tar"
[21:19] <Trfsrfr> kajakajo, I figured that!
[21:19] <jjovereats> s/tar"/tar)/
[21:19] <bluezone> Trfsrfr, on gnome?
[21:19] <Trfsrfr> yes
[21:19] <rypervenche> Trfsrfr: try "killall gnome-panel"
[21:20] <jjovereats> s/tar\"/tar\)/
[21:20] <bluezone> Trfsrfr, there was a command to fix that but i don't recall which one... i lost my notes :(
[21:20] <Trfsrfr> rypervenche, what does that do?
[21:20] <jjovereats> Notice how I genericified my pipeline.
[21:20] <bluezone> it kills your gnome taskbar
[21:20] <kajakajo> Trfsrfr, it commands your computer to do something.
[21:20] <rypervenche> Trfsrfr: I had that problem when I used Gnome, about 50% of the time I had problems when I first started my computer. I made a little shortcut to do that whenever I needed it. It kills and restarts your panel.
[21:20] <demonek> anyone familiar with picard?
[21:21] <ddn> hi all
[21:21] <ddn> how can I find with ubuntu version am I using?
[21:21] <ice9> I'm trying to file share between win7 and ubuntu 10.04, can anyone assist? I'm getting an unable to mount error.
[21:21] <rypervenche> ddn: lsb_release -a
[21:21] <Trfsrfr> okay
[21:22] <Gangrel> !paste
[21:22] <w30> ddn cat /etc/issue
[21:22] <ddn> rypervenche: 10.04 lucyd, cool, ty
[21:23] <ddn> any idea why I can not find the volume control again after the last update. It is not available when I try to add an element to the bar
[21:23] <Trfsrfr> rypervenche, is gnome: no process found panel: no process found a bad thing?
[21:23] <Mandrew> Anyone know how to make the Evoluent Vertical Mouse work with a ps/2 adapter?
[21:23] <rypervenche> Trfsrfr: "killall gnome-panel"
[21:23] <trism> ddn: it is part of the indicator applet now, so add that back to your panel. also make sure indicator-sound is installed
[21:23] <Trfsrfr> rypervenche, I did that, what I typed above was the response
[21:24] <rypervenche> Trfsrfr: You must have put a space or did not type it correctly.
[21:24] <Chaser> noob question. When I do apt-get update && apt-get upgrade, I get informed that some packages are kept back from upgrading. From what I can understand, I need to use apt-get dist-upgrade as well. I read the man page but just want to confirm that dist-upgrade does not upgrade the distribution to next version. Is that correct ?
[21:24] <rypervenche> Chaser: That is correct.
[21:24] <Trfsrfr> rypervenche, youre right, i forgot the dash
[21:24] <Chaser> rypervenche, thanks !
[21:25] <rypervenche> Chaser: You have to do that for things like kernel upgrades.
[21:25] <PythonSnake> How to install theme ?
[21:25] <iivvoo> omg why do people write such terrible, buggy software
[21:25] <iivvoo> attempting to rip and encode using k9copy
[21:25] <iivvoo> I'm afraid I'll have too boot my macbook in stead
[21:26] <ddn> rypervenche: so not I begin to be worry, both programs are installed, but not available when try to add to the panel
[21:26] <andantino> buggy just means it has character
[21:26] <iivvoo> or it means total nonfunctioning failure
[21:26] <Chaser> rypervenche, cool. yes I see that now. Is there some other command that does all three for me  i.e., update && upgrade && dist-upgrade ?
[21:27] <iivvoo> anyone have other tips for convenient ripping+encoding of dvd's?
[21:27] <demonek> does devede do that?
[21:27] <rypervenche> Chaser: No, just do all 3. I have made an alias that does that as well as removes old packages, removes orphans, and purges all programs that have left their configuration files behind.
[21:28] <w30> iivvoo, if t breaks you get to keep both pieces also
[21:28] <w30> t/it
[21:28] <Chaser> rypervenche, ok. Thanks for the help.
[21:28] <demonek> is anyone familiar with picard?
[21:28] <BluesKaj> iivvoo, try dvd::rip
[21:30] <anischez> I want to change the cimputer name had selected a long name hoe can this be done
[21:30] <Renierius> Could anyone please help me with getting my S/PDIF out to work with a speaker that I have here?
[21:30] <lemming> hi guys, quick question: how can i run gnome-screensaver-command from the virtual terminal? i.e. ctrl+alt+f1
[21:31] <Finw3> Hi, I need to edit a .fla file as a text file to modify some settings, but gedit can't open it. How can I open this as text file?
[21:31] <BluesKaj> !dvd::rip  |  iivvoo
[21:31] <BluesKaj> !info dvd::rip | iivvoo
[21:31] <rypervenche> Finw3: Use another text editor, there are many out there. nano and vim are good editors that you can use in a terminal.
[21:32] <Finw3> rypervenche ok I will try, thank you very much :-)
[21:32] <trism> lemming: it may work if you specify the DISPLAY, such as: DISPLAY=:0.0 gnome-screensaver-command --lock;
[21:32] <lemming> trism: tried that, doesnt work unfortunately
[21:33] <craigbass1976> If I never set up a root user password (the OS root), where would I find root's .mysql_history file?
[21:33] <trism> lemming: did it error?
[21:34] <lemming> trism: yes, "failed to connect to the dbus daemon //bin/dbus-launch
[21:34] <ddn> my ubuntu based linux4one has no element on the desktop, no icons nor I can right click to change wallpaper for example, any idea how to revert this situation?
[21:34] <ray24> lol^
[21:34] <lemming> trims: "... Autolaunch error: X11 initialization failed"
[21:35] <Nobgul-bnc> Craig_Dem, the root users pass is yours for the system.
[21:35] <Nobgul-bnc> as far as the mysql file what are you lookinf for exactly
[21:36] <craigbass1976> Nobgul-bnc, someone is about to start work on a box.  My password is in a grant statement issued by mysql's root.  I'd like to delete just that one command from the file
[21:36] <trism> lemming: did the session lock up on you? that may be why it isn't working (seems to work here). may also be the wrong DISPLAY
[21:36] <Nobgul-bnc> craigbass1976, ah got ya 1 sec
[21:37] <Nobgul-bnc> hrmm.
[21:37] <lemming> trism: currently not. its my sisters laptop and sometimes the screensaver freezes and she cannot unlock it. tried locking it as a test
[21:37] <craigbass1976> Nobgul-bnc, forget it.  I just found it in my own home directory
[21:37] <craigbass1976> That's odd...
[21:37] <Nobgul-bnc> The default path for the mysql history file is $HOME/.mysql_history .
[21:37] <craigbass1976> Nobgul-bnc, and it's owned by root
[21:37] <Nobgul-bnc> ^^
[21:37] <Nobgul-bnc> you beat me to it lol
[21:37] <carlos> hello
[21:37] <Nobgul-bnc> so sudo pico file
[21:38] <Jon--> I recently had my monitor replaced on my laptop and the screen is now has a bright white tinge to it and the text is a bit unclear. How can I ensure this is a hardware issue and not a software one? Ubuntu 10.10
[21:38] <jfroebe> 99% sure hardware
[21:39] <rypervenche> Jon--: Try it on another computer.
[21:39] <rypervenche> Jon--: Or run it using a live CD of a different distro.
[21:39] <Jon--> rypervenche, It's a laptop
[21:39] <Nobgul-bnc> I would say hardware as well. But if you want to double check you could run a linux distro off cd a live cd and see if it happnens
[21:39] <craigbass1976> Nobgul-bnc, now what happens when they set up their own user account?  Does it still write to /home/me/.mysql_history, or /home/them/.mysql_history ?

[21:40] <lemming> trism: okay, had an idea. a simple kill works
[21:41] <Warod> I have a problem with boot time mount of multiple NFS filesystems on Ubuntu 11.04. It mounts the first NFS filesystem and the mount defuncts before getting to mount the second one.
[21:41] <trism> lemming: what did you kill?
[21:41] <Warod> If I mount them by hand, it works.
[21:41] <iivvoo> I thought dvd::rip was some obscure perl module but it looks good so far..

[21:42] <sysop-work> ne1 have any tips for getting a perc4 to work with the 64bit live cd?
[21:42] <sysop-work> I just need to modify the sudoers
[21:42] <guntbert> sysop-work: what is a perc4?
[21:43] <Nobgul-bnc> rhizmoe, never seen a @
[21:43] <sysop-work> dell raid controller
[21:43] <PythonSnake> HELP!
[21:43] <sysop-work> guntbert, dell raid card
[21:43] <PythonSnake> Why I don't have any permissions ???
[21:44] <guntbert> sysop-work: I see ... what has that to do with sudoers? (that threw me :-))
[21:44] <Nobgul-bnc> PythonSnake, with what.
[21:44] <rhizmoe> oh duh, sorry. this is osx. nevermind.
[21:44] <PythonSnake> I cant extract to usr folde

[21:44] <sysop-work> nothing really
[21:44] <Nobgul-bnc> !question | PythonSnake
[21:45] <PythonSnake> I cant extract to usr folder..
[21:45] <sysop-work> guntbert,  I need to mount the raid drives with the live cd so I can change the messed up sudoers
[21:45] <Nobgul-bnc> Because it is owned by root
[21:45] <Nobgul-bnc> you need to do it in a terminal
[21:45] <Nobgul-bnc> and make sure you use sudo
[21:45] <jjovereats> One error here: Part of my project for Mum so she can watch something she loves to watch.
[21:45] <guntbert> sysop-work: thx for telling me - I was really curious - no help from me, sorry

[21:47] <Laroz> good point
[21:47] <PythonSnake> how to be owner ?
[21:47] <PythonSnake> I'm owner but cant set permissions..
[21:47] <lemming> trism: thanks, Ill have a look at it
[21:47] <Nobgul-bnc> PythonSnake, You can't you need to use sudo to extract the file to a locked system directory
[21:48] <PythonSnake> How to extract a zip ?
[21:48] <Nobgul-bnc> PythonSnake, what is the file extension .tar.gz?
[21:48] <PythonSnake> zip
[21:48] <Nobgul-bnc> sudo unzip file.zip
[21:48] <Nobgul-bnc> PythonSnake, you may need to sudo apt-get install zip
[21:49] <Nobgul-bnc> PythonSnake, not that it is my business but what exactly are you placing in the /usr/ folder?
[21:49] <PythonSnake> But where will it be extracted ?
[21:49] <PythonSnake> /usr/share/themes
[21:49] <lemming> trism: thanks for your help. bye
[21:49] <jjovereats> I am not asking to ask a question. I'm saying: the error occured, please help.
[21:50] <Nobgul-bnc> PythonSnake, where ever you put it so if the file is at /home/python/file.zip it will extract there. so you need to move the file to the /usr/share/themes/  then extract it
[21:50] <Nobgul-bnc> jjovereats, i have no idea what program your using. I saw the error. But for what program, what were you doing when it happneed etc.
[21:52] <lnb> how can one reboot to text mode to get root access
[21:52] <Dave888> lnb ROX!

[21:52] <lnb> ?
[21:52] <Dave888> nestea ROX!
[21:52] <Nobgul-bnc> lnb, reboot into it you need to interupt the boot.

[21:52] <Dave888> Nobgul-bnc ROCKS!
[21:53] <jstoone> Hi everyone, can you recommend a package to record the screen?
[21:53] <lnb> how to get into text mode ... rebooting just goes back to gui interface
[21:53] <Dave888> jstoone ROCKS!
[21:53] <jjovereats> Nobgul-bnc, I'm using TAR over SSH and CAT in the SSH session.
[21:53] <lnb> or boot single user
[21:53] <Nobgul-bnc> lnb, you can use a terminal?
[21:53] <PythonSnake> How to get root permissions ?
[21:53] <PythonSnake> ?
[21:53] <lnb> sure
[21:53] <Dave888> jjovereats ROX!
[21:53] <jstoone> Dave888: is the package named "rocks"?
[21:53] <Nobgul-bnc> PythonSnake, type sudo command

[21:54] <PythonSnake> how to get root perm forever?
[21:54] <Nobgul-bnc> Dave888, this is a help chanel if you need help ask otherwise take offtopic chat to #ubuntu-offtopic
[21:54] <PythonSnake> without sudo
[21:54] <Nobgul-bnc> PythonSnake sudo -i   will last until you log out
[21:54] <Nobgul-bnc> Otherwise there is no way
[21:54] <lnb> so there is no way to boot single user mode?
[21:55] <Dave888> Nobgul-bnc you rock! you're awesome!  -goes to #ubuntu-offtopic -
[21:55] <ddn> how can I eliminate old versions of kernel from my system?
[21:55] <Nobgul-bnc> Yes but if you messed up the sudo file that you can't edit it even drping into ah text at boot won't help you
[21:55] <Nobgul-bnc> Unless i misunderstood you.
[21:56] <PythonSnake> I still cant extract to usr
[21:56] <PythonSnake> someone to assist me through remote please ?
[21:56] <lnb> well i figured that like other OS i use, I can boot -s (single user) and if root has no passwd, just get in as root
[21:56] <Nobgul-bnc> Not that i know of.
[21:56] <Nobgul-bnc> PythonSnake, not a chance in the world would i ever.
[21:57] <Nobgul-bnc> Sorry
[21:57] <lnb> is there a way to interrupt boot to get into text mode?
[21:57] <E3D3> Hi, I installed & run a FTP file server as gEdit-plugin but don't no how to stop/exit it ?
[21:57] <Nobgul-bnc> lnb, yes
[21:57] <lnb> how?
[21:57] <PythonSnake> :'(
[21:57] <Nobgul-bnc> you can edit the grub and at the end of the boot line put "noquiet"
[21:57] <Nobgul-bnc> I think
[21:57] <Nobgul-bnc> i would good it really though
[21:57] <lnb> ok
[21:57] <Nobgul-bnc> google
[21:57] <lnb> i'll try that

[22:08] <nestea> sorry, my keyboard is stucking like a mofo
[22:08] <lnb> ok, here is what i did to gain root access after screwing up sudoers file. boot to install cdrom, try it as demo, find UID for / partition, open shell, vi /media/somelongnumber/etc/sudoers  fix line, save/exit/reboot.
[22:08] <lnb> and it worked just fine :)
[22:08] <Nobgul-bnc> lnb, nice info I will have to remember that for later.

[22:16] <mneptok> nestea: please stop with the profanity.
[22:16] <LABcrab> !language > nestea
[22:17] <mneptok> LABcrab: i have experienced similar problems. despite setting the mp3 profile, SoundJuicer insists on ogg
[22:17] <mneptok> LABcrab: i have yet to file a bug, but have found Rhythmbox honors the selected mp3 profile, so i have been ripping with that instead
[22:18] <JudeQuinn> Could I get an older version of ubuntu to run along side windows xp?
[22:18] <JudeQuinn> If I'm correct the current is still in beta, right?
[22:18] <Azelphur> JudeQuinn: yep
[22:18] <Azelphur> JudeQuinn: the current is the current, it's not in beta.
[22:18] <JudeQuinn> Ah, my mistake.
[22:19] <VCoolio> JudeQuinn: no, either 10.04 (long term support) or 11.04, both released; 11.10 is development version now
[22:19] <Azelphur> JudeQuinn: Ubuntu does releases every 6 months, the version numbers are their release dates, 11.04 is April 2011. It's the current release and it's not beta :)
[22:19] <LABcrab> mneptok: Why doesn't Ubuntu have a solid alternative to iTunes?
[22:19] <milehigh> Does Ubuntu go from Sleep to Hibernate automatically at some point after a few hours of sleep?

[22:20] <JudeQuinn> Ok, Thanks.
[22:20] <eiriksvin> my mouse hovers over some flash things, and the whole thing disappears
[22:20] <LABcrab> FLAC, Vorbis, Wave and PCM are the Banshee import options.  How do i add MP3?  What is good for Android?
[22:20] <eiriksvin> then as I move my mouse it comes back
[22:20] <LABcrab> Mouse in the house!
[22:21] <Wantstolearn> Has anyone any good reccmonadtion for must have chat irc room for medicin programing and electroinc.Thanks
[22:21] <mneptok> LABcrab: mp3 support cannot be shipped by default, as it is a codec that requires licensing

[22:21] <Wantstolearn> development mainly
[22:21] <kunguz> can anyone explain me how to connect to wireless network with ubuntu-arm headless image?

[22:27] <LABcrab> Nah it's Sunlight detergent.
[22:27] <escott> Craven1254, afaik the basic infrastructure is there, but none of the crypto or keys ie you can't and won't be able to do netflix
[22:29] <Craven1254> escott, Would you recommend an install of XP in VirtualBox to handle Netflix?
[22:30] <escott> Craven1254, vm/dual boot is your only really good option. some have tried using wine, but you have to pull so much of the windows core in that i just don't see the point
[22:31] <Luxe> How do I find out if I have a 32bit or 64bit ubuntu installation?

[22:32] <Luxe> i686. i assume 64?
[22:32] <escott> Luxe, 32bit
[22:32] <Luxe> oh -.-
[22:32] <Renierius> Would anyone perhaps know how I could use my S/PDIF out?
[22:32] <Craven1254> escott, Thank you.
[22:34] <Luxe> Thanks escot <3
[22:34] <escott> Renierius, if jack plugin detection is working (and you have intel hda sound) you can play around with hda_analyzer (its not a good solution though)
[22:34] <w7nz7k> is there a way to check which program is using the most of my connection?
[22:34] <tjiggi_fo> Luxe, you can also cat /proc/cpuinfo
[22:34] <escott> w7nz7k, ntop might work
[22:34] <Luxe> Wut? ;o
[22:35] <escott> Luxe, if you need to know if your cpu supports 64bit check /proc/cpuinfo and check if "lm" is listed in the flags
[22:36] <JoshOvki> coz_, its all good fun
[22:36] <Luxe> Mmk.

[22:39] <john_rambo> Cant open files with Smplayer ......http://pastebin.com/nfnCK5W0  ...........drag n drop works
[22:39] <escott> Flash_Jordan, you might (and thats a big might) be able to install win 7 to a raw partition with virtualbox, but win7 doesn't like that the entire system is changed when you boot outside the vm on the real hardware
[22:39] <sweetest> hello
[22:40] <elevenpointfive> hi.
[22:40] <sweetest> I want to squeeze 1024x600 resolution onto 800x480 screen; I realize fonts won't be as sharp, but I want software to think it's 1024x600 resolution screen
[22:40] <Corey> sweetest: If the screen won't support it, you're kinda hosed.
[22:41] <escott> sweetest, you might be able to do that with xnest or vnc, but a better choice would be to set the virtual size to be larger and then pan
[22:42] <Flash_Jordan> well i just found out that al i need is a 4GB USB stick which i have, now to just hope the torrent i have works, if all fails, will install in ubuntu back!
[22:42] <sweetest> If I am not mistaken, you're talking about configuration when mouse cursor will scroll screen when I arrive with it at it's edge
[22:42] <coz_> Flash_Jordan,  what are you doing with the flash drive?
[22:42] <sweetest> there was once a UMPC, OQO - it had 800x480 display but had option to "look" like bigger one
[22:42] <sweetest> 1024x600 or 1280x720, if I remember right, but that's secondary
[22:43] <m_> calling jahman
[22:43] <sweetest> is it possible to do something like that at software level?
[22:43] <Flash_Jordan> coz_ , http://www.intowindows.com/how-to-install-windows-7vista-from-usb-drive-detailed-100-working-guide/
[22:43] <coz_> Flash_Jordan,  ah ok
[22:43] <sweetest> I don't need hardware acceleration on this
[22:44] <sweetest> Imagine zooming web page; I want to "zoom" 1024x600 xorg onto 800x480 screen
[22:44] <coz_> sweetest,  out of curiosity,, what is the read out of this command    glxinfo -l |grep MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE    ?
[22:44] <Flash_Jordan> have a gateway 560GE (got it for free from a friend) and am gonna (hopefully) get windows 7 on it, and then play some WoW cata private servers like i do on my laptop!
[22:44] <Flash_Jordan> NERD FEST NERD FEST
[22:45] <AlphaPsi>  What are the differences for wubi and the full install with the partioning?
[22:45] <coz_> AlphaPsi,  not sure,, I have never used wubi
[22:45] <sweetest> I don't have linux right now at the device we're talking about
[22:45] <westz> Flash_Jordan: you're in a linux chatroom, "NERD FEST " is a given
[22:45] <coz_> sweetest,  ah ok
[22:45] <rypervenche> AlphaPsi: Wubi creates a virtual partition on your windows partition. It is not a real installation.
[22:45] <sweetest> what it's supposed to show? I'm not fluent in glxinfo output :-)
[22:46] <coz_> sweetest,  copy th at command ,, that will tell you the video card's hardware limitationi for resolution
[22:46] <escott> AlphaPsi, wubi installs ubuntu as a file inside ntfs. so its slower, and a bit less stable, but easier to remove
[22:46] <Flash_Jordan> i dont believe there is one, but i still dotnt use wubi, i like going through the install and partitioning there because i know it works!
[22:46] <m_> calling jahman
[22:47] <AlphaPsi> How would you uninstall the partitioning of ubuntu if I did a full install?
[22:47] <sweetest> AlphaPsi: you mean remove ubuntu?
[22:47] <edbian> AlphaPsi: Why would you unistall the partitioning if Ubuntu was installed>
[22:47] <escott> sweetest, ill bet xnest can do what you want. its even possible that xorg does larger virtual than physical without panning, but its and odd thing to want
[22:47] <AlphaPsi> Yeah removing ubuntu
[22:48] <westz> AlphaPsi: just do a full install and select "erase the entire disk"
[22:48] <AlphaPsi> uhh
[22:48] <elevenpointfive> What exactly are you trying to do?
[22:48] <sweetest> xnest, let me see :-)
[22:48] <westz> AlphaPsi: or do you want to keep files/a windows installation?
[22:48] <sweetest> it's odd thing, yes - want to try using phone as replacement for netbook :-)
[22:48] <escott> AlphaPsi, you could use gparted to repartition over the ubuntu partitions, and make them into ntfs for windows or expand the adjacent partitions
[22:48] <edbian> AlphaPsi: I would boot a live CD and erase the partitions using gparted.  Then there is some command fixmbr that you run on window to get the bootloader back
[22:49] <escott> AlphaPsi, if you just want to try it out I would use a live usb
[22:50] <edbian> AlphaPsi: Yeah, don't install until you're sure
[22:50] <elevenpointfive> I agree with escott, just try it out with a livecd or liveusb.
[22:50] <eiriksvin> holy cow, I didn't realize how awesome Skype in Ubuntu is now, I wish they had open chat rooms like IRC, but where you could just skype right in
[22:50] <westz> AlphaPsi: i agree with them
[22:50] <sweetest> if xnest works, I guess I can try it now
[22:50] <escott> AlphaPsi, the cds are slower, and can't preserve data over reboots, but a large usb stick (a couple gigs) will allow you to keep files and install additional programs
[22:50] <sweetest> because it should work everywhere, heh
[22:51] <AlphaPsi> I tried it over the boot
[22:51] <AlphaPsi> using a usb
[22:51] <AlphaPsi> but I feel like I want to do an install but not sure either with wubi or full
[22:51] <edbian> AlphaPsi: Don't use wubi.
[22:51] <smithzv> Something seems to be intercepting the ctrl-alt-b key sequence, is there a way to find out what is doing that?
[22:51] <elevenpointfive> Just do the full.
[22:51] <escott> AlphaPsi, almost nobody will recommend wubi
[22:51] <eiriksvin> AlphaPsi: I have Ubuntu on a 4gb USB, and its my portable ubuntu
[22:51] <edbian> AlphaPsi: Full install is less dangerous and easier to configure than wubi
[22:52] <AlphaPsi> easier to configure?
[22:52] <westz> AlphaPsi: wubi installs are slow and dont give you the feel of the OS. a live CD is better
[22:52] <perme> have a question about the rdesktop brute force patch: How i make it work?
[22:52] <perme> I keep getting Retrieved connection termination packet. Retrieved connection termination packet. [error] User "ADMINISTRATOR" Password "". Connection terminated due to unknown error.
[22:52] <perme> How do I brute force RDP passwords with the rdesktop brute force .diff file
[22:52] <perme> 'm using rdp-brute-force-r805.diff and rdesktop-1.5.0 from sourceforge
[22:52] <perme> come on I want to break into a server!
[22:53] <perme> j/k
[22:53] <AlphaPsi> How would I remove the full install if I wanted to?
[22:53] <AlphaPsi> from a partition
[22:53] <PythonSnake> Hi I switched from unity to GNOME 3 now when I try to run a game it shows Failed to execute child process "TeeWorlds"(no such file or directory) error
[22:53] <perme> if the full install's hard drive is hda1, type dd if=/dev/hda1 of=/dev/zero
[22:53] <westz> AlphaPsi: just remove the partitions and resize the windows partition later
[22:53] <perme> This will start the Ubuntu uninstall process
[22:54] <mneptok> PythonSnake: GNOME3 is not included in Ubuntu, and is thus not supported here.
[22:54] <perme> oh windows
[22:54] <sweetest> perme: haha
[22:54] <perme> just type dd if=/dev/hdc1 of=/dev/zero for example if sdc5 was your linux partition
[22:58] <wiggmpk> anybody using Gnome3 on Ubuntu 11.04 with Unity?
[22:58] <perme> err
[22:58] <sweetest> first it't not channel for black hat hacking, second good luck with bruteforcing over internet
[22:58] <AlphaPsi> I can just format/remove the parittion that contains ubuntu??
[22:58] <AlphaPsi> And it'll leave without a trace/
[22:58] <AlphaPsi> ?*
[22:58] <westz> AlphaPsi: it's not all that hard to remove if you understand how partitions and bootloaders work. if you get the basics you should be able to do it in a few minutes to an hour
[22:58] <perme> ok I'm not brute forcing at all, I just wanted to try compiling the program and making it work against my own machine
[22:58] <perme> I just want to get it to work th at's all
[22:58] <spc_in_plc> wiggmpk, yes
[22:58] <bluezone> anyone know if i can futhur reduce mouse sensitivity and acceleration beyond 0? (it is still too fast at 0)
[22:58] <coz_> AlphaPsi,   it should be wiped that way   ...yes
[22:58] <wiggmpk> spc_in_plc: im running x64 with nvidia drivers.. you running into any issues? any conflicts after install?
[22:58] <escott> bluezone, try xinput
[22:58] <westz> AlphaPsi: pretty much. you'll have to resize your windows partition again if you shrunk it to make room for ubuntu, and you'll have to reinstall the windows bootloader, but windows does that second part pretty easily
[22:58] <oscurochu> I have a Intel 865g video card that doesnt seem to play nicely with ubuntu. Any suggetions on running  live CD?
[22:58] <AlphaPsi> What do you mean I would have to install the windows bootloader again?
[22:58] <coz_> oscurochu,  you may want to use the  minimal install cd  to install it
[22:58] <Dirus> how can I make one upstart script start before another? do I just put it in the Required-Start list?
[22:58] <spc_in_plc> wiggmpk, first time I installed it, it gave me an error in logging in. But after I rebooted the second time, it's worked fine.
[22:58] <coz_> oscurochu,  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[22:58] <oscurochu> coz_: i wouldnt wanna waste my time. if the CD doesnt work, then what makes you certain it will work once its installed?
[22:58] <wiggmpk> spc_in_plc: im reading mixed results online, and I really really wanna give it a try.. But I would like Unity to stay as in for now, until I more comfortable with gnome3 and slowly disable redudant unity features
[22:58] <coz_> oscurochu,  cant be sure,, you say the live cd doesnt work>?
[22:58] <comptekki> i installed ubuntu 11.04.  I assumed the firewall was active to start - it doesn't seem to be.
[22:58] <westz> AlphaPsi:  windows bootloader will only boot windows... so when you install ubuntu, you get grub (usually)  but that erases the windows bootloader (but grub will boot windows too, so it's okay) but if you remove ubuntu, you remove grub, so you have to fix the windows bootloader
[22:58] <comptekki> I installed sshd and posgresql and I was able to get to them without and fw change
[22:58] <coz_> oscurochu,  the minimal install cd is not a live cd it is a text install  and only 19 megs
[22:58] <spc_in_plc> wiggmpk, you can restore unity with "purge ppa"
[22:58] <ethernet-> hello
[22:58] <coz_> oscurochu,  it downloads the system from the net
[22:58] <comptekki> from remote
[22:59] <westz> AlphaPsi:  * actually it doesnt _erase_ the windows bootloader, it just changes the config a little. but it'll fix itself pretty easily (almost automatic)
[22:59] <oscurochu> the live CD boots, but its unusable because the video card doesnt wanna play nice. if you click on a menu, it appears for a second, and the entire menu turns black. the splash screen shows up on the desktop (as if it had trouble transitioning).
[22:59] <AlphaPsi> How would I fix the windows bootloader if I did that
[22:59] <comptekki> I then installed ufw and then they were blocked
[22:59] <AlphaPsi> Oh okay
[22:59] <wiggmpk> spc_in_plc: right, I understand that, but what I'm asking, will unity work with gnome3 without issue?
[22:59] <AlphaPsi> So I dont really have to worry about it?
[22:59] <comptekki> I then made rules to allow them again
[22:59] <sweetest> escott: can't find the option I need with xnest, you sure it can do it?
[22:59] <spc_in_plc> wiggmpk, Nope. the unity-shell won't work anymore.
[22:59] <oscurochu> coz_: i dont care how it installs the system, i need to know how to get it working. the minimal install CD will only get it installed, not get it working.
[22:59] <wiggmpk> spc_in_plc: k thanks =)
[23:00] <comptekki> why isn't a firewall on by default? or have active block all rules?
[23:00] <jahman> m are ready for spme linux
[23:00] <coz_> oscurochu,  are you on linux right now?
[23:00] <spc_in_plc> wiggmpk, no problem.
[23:00] <oscurochu> coz_: before i go that route, i need to figure out how to get it working on the CD, even if that means typing in commands in the terminal
[23:00] <westz> AlphaPsi: when you booted up after removing ubuntu, windows would fail to start (then tell you it failed to start) then it'll ask if you want to repair the bootloader, say yes and it'll fix it. almost automatic, just have to tell it "yes"
[23:00] <escott> AlphaPsi, a windows rescue cd (can be downloaded online) will allow you to reinstall the windows bootloader. you could also create a small boot partition at the front of the disk and keep grub but remove the ubuntu root partition
[23:00] <oscurochu> coz_ i could be.
[23:00] <coz_> oscurochu,  well I just want to know the exact intel chipset with    lspci | grep -i vga
[23:01] <AlphaPsi> I also had/have a small problem with ubuntu when I tried it
[23:01] <westz> escott: you're gonna confuse him. i'm pretty sure windows will fix it without the rescue cd anyway
[23:01] <AlphaPsi> All the text was too small
[23:01] <AlphaPsi> and I couldn't read it
[23:01] <oscurochu> coz_: ok ill fire it up, give it a minute to load.
[23:01] <AlphaPsi> and it was really blurry
[23:01] <trism> Dirus: might be of interest: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#start-must-precede-another-service
[23:01] <m_> jahman
[23:01] <AlphaPsi> well blurrier than I was used to like in windows
[23:01] <westz> AlphaPsi:  you can change the DPI to fix that
[23:01] <bluezone> escott, mhmm, which command with xinput?
[23:02] <AlphaPsi> Oh okay, oh I remember now, I heard that your hardrive could get corrupted or something if something goes wrong with the full install
[23:02] <westz> AlphaPsi: and the fonts are pretty "ech" in most linux distros until you customize them.
[23:02] <AlphaPsi> is that true?
[23:02] <escott> bluezone, xinput list-props #device-id#
[23:02] <scribble837636> Is anyone loving Unity?
[23:02] <Dave888> nope
[23:02] <rypervenche> scribble837636: Nope.
[23:02] <Dave888> everyone hates it
[23:02] <AlphaPsi> What would you recommend westz, which fonts?
[23:02] <bazhang> Dave888, thats not helpful
[23:02] <onetwothree> then why mopve to higher version and not stick to lts 10.04?
[23:03] <escott> AlphaPsi, the only major worry would be resizing the ntfs partition. its possible something could go wrong there
[23:03] <westz> AlphaPsi: of course, just like your harddrive could get corrupted if you saved a file in word: it's highly unlikely, just a possibility
[23:03] <scribble837636> I can't find anything now!
[23:03] <rypervenche> scribble837636: Ubuntu seems to have lost a lot of users because of it. Almost everyone I know who used Ubuntu before has now left it for something else.
[23:03]  * bluezone gasps
[23:03] <AlphaPsi> Hmm I think there my harddrive already has 2-3 partitions
[23:04] <scribble837636> Is there anyway to get back to gnome?
[23:04] <AlphaPsi> But I'm not sure, the C drive and the D drive, are those partitions?
[23:04] <westz> AlphaPsi: ???
[23:04] <bluezone> scribble837636, you should be able to switch that at the login screen
[23:04] <escott> AlphaPsi, yes they are
[23:04] <westz> AlphaPsi:  is D your cd drive?
[23:04] <bazhang> !classic | scribble837636
[23:04] <scribble837636> k...I'll give it a go
[23:04] <AlphaPsi> I don't think so
[23:04] <`Lyn> i've own a domain and a vps with ubuntu installed, ip is static. i want to add a vhost so i could use it on irc, how can i do it on ubuntu?
[23:04] <bluezone> YES i was right!! xD
[23:04] <AlphaPsi> ACER (C:) drive, and the DATA (D:) drive
[23:04] <PythonSnake> Hi
[23:04] <bazhang> PythonSnake, hi
[23:05] <PythonSnake> after an update I can't run any games..
[23:05] <bazhang> !details | PythonSnake
[23:05] <westz> AlphaPsi: yeah those are partitions, one is probably a recovery partition for windows
[23:05] <PythonSnake> It just doesn't show anything
[23:05] <Dirus> I put the provides from the other script in the "Required-Start" of the dhcp server script but it didn't seem to change the execution order
[23:05] <`Lyn> i've own a domain and a vps with ubuntu installed, ip is static. i want to add a vhost so i could use it on irc, how can i do it on ubuntu?
[23:05] <PythonSnake> Failed to execute child process "game" (No such file or directory) under gnome
[23:05] <AlphaPsi> But the DATA drive has almost nothing in it
[23:06] <Dirus> do I have to run something to reprocess the start up script info?
[23:06] <westz> AlphaPsi:  how big is it? (right click the drive, properties)
[23:06] <AlphaPsi> 145 GB
[23:06] <tang_> admin
[23:06] <westz> how big is the other one?
[23:06] <AlphaPsi> 145
[23:06] <westz> odd
[23:06] <AlphaPsi> So I think my harddrive is split
[23:06] <westz> yeah it is
[23:07] <westz> thats really weird
[23:07] <AlphaPsi> Theres nothing in the DATA (D:) drive though, and stuff is in the ACER (C:) drive
[23:07] <westz> i wonder if they're partitions or sep[erate drives....
[23:07] <sweetest> bump: escott, any idea how can I scale 1024x600 onto 800x480 with xnest?
[23:07] <AlphaPsi> Wait whats the difference?
[23:08] <sweetest> man page wasn't helpful
[23:08] <esing0> how do I install a program in linux which has a "makefile"
[23:08] <westz> one way, you have two harddrives, the other, you have one thats chopped in half
[23:08] <sweetest> esing0: you have to type "make" in the directory with Makefile
[23:08] <mneptok> AlphaPsi: the difference between "a pie" and "a slice of pie"
[23:08] <esing0> sweetest ive done this, but i get 2 errors
[23:08] <westz> esing0: google "compiling programs in ubuntu"
[23:09] <esing0> i wanted to install "tctool"
[23:09] <bluezone> escott, how do i get the mouse id :O its not appearing in lspci :(
[23:09] <sweetest> esing0: most often even before you run "make", you have to type "./configure"
[23:09] <sweetest> also, with most programs there is included "INSTALL" file with instructions
[23:09] <sweetest> I advise to look for it and read it
[23:09] <mneptok> bluezone: you have a mouse connected via PCI? really? try "lsusb"
[23:10] <bluezone> mneptok, no i don't know what pci is lol i just always use it
[23:10] <mneptok> bluezone: Peripheral Compenent Interface
[23:10]  * kimico Miauuuuuu online
[23:10] <westz> bluezone: lspci lists pci devices, lsusb lists usb devices, get it?
[23:10] <bluezone> mneptok, i should really get a degree in computers :(
[23:10] <bluezone> i guess, time to put that in notes lol
[23:11] <AlphaPsi> So can I format my DATA (D:) drive/ can I install Ubuntu on my D: drive
[23:11] <AlphaPsi> ?
[23:11] <westz> if it's a seperate drive, absolutely
[23:11] <mneptok> AlphaPsi: is it a drive, or a partition of a drive?
[23:11] <escott> bluezone, xinput list
[23:11] <mneptok> AlphaPsi: if you don't know, it's time to find out.
[23:11] <AlphaPsi> How do I find out?
[23:12] <westz> AlphaPsi: go to your device manager
[23:12] <AlphaPsi> Uhh
[23:12] <westz> AlphaPsi: i believe you can get to it in control panel
[23:13] <westz> AlphaPsi: or by going to "system properties"
[23:13] <AlphaPsi> Okay got to it
[23:13] <westz> AlphaPsi: (right click "my computer)
[23:13] <bluezone> escott, alright i got the id and did this: xinput list-props 046d:c041 but it outputs unable to find device
[23:13] <escott> sweetest, vnc?
[23:13] <westz> AlphaPsi: now scoll down it til you find something that says "storage devices" or "hard drives"
[23:13] <escott> bluezone, no first run xinput list the id number is internal to x
[23:14] <AlphaPsi> Disk Drives?
[23:14] <westz> i havent run windows in months so i cant quite remember
[23:14] <westz> yeah thats it
[23:14] <westz> expand that
[23:14] <bluezone> i see :)
[23:14] <AlphaPsi> Okay I did
[23:14] <westz> what all is there?
[23:14] <AlphaPsi> 4 Readers of some type, a USB device,  and an ATA device
[23:15] <AlphaPsi> Maybe this isn't it?
[23:15] <mneptok> AlphaPsi: you have one physical hard disk that has been partitioned.
[23:15] <westz> thats it, unless your cd drive is ata
[23:15] <sweetest> escott: and that's when it becomes dirty ]:-> doing regular work in vnc seems very unclean to me
[23:15] <westz> *thats a joke
[23:15] <bt> AlphaPsi, asus netbook?
[23:15] <sweetest> well, will look some more :-) will find it sooner or later
[23:15] <AlphaPsi> bt, no
[23:16] <escott> bluezone, the annoying thing about xinput set-props is it needs a field width (8bit/16bit/32bit) and i have no idea where one figures out the correct field width
[23:16] <westz> AlphaPsi: ok, you have one harddrive that's split in half
[23:16] <AlphaPsi> Oh okay
[23:16] <westz> so you'll have to do a little partitioning
[23:16] <AlphaPsi> What do you mean?
[23:16] <Gangrel> anyone can help on gnome 3?
[23:16] <westz> well sorta, not really
[23:16] <bluezone> escott, trial and error lol
[23:16] <bazhang> Gangrel, its not supported here, so no
[23:17] <AlphaPsi> I don't think theres anything in my DATA (D:) drive
[23:17] <bazhang> !gnome3 | Gangrel
[23:17] <westz> AlphaPsi: do you already have a cd or usb drive with the installation media?
[23:17] <AlphaPsi> Wait, strange I opened the DATA drive and theres these files I dont recognize
[23:17] <coz_> there is also UGR  but it should be a fresh install of 11.04  completely updatd
[23:17] <AlphaPsi> Some install and text documents that says eula
[23:18] <westz> what are they named?
[23:18] <mneptok> AlphaPsi: i would strongly suggest that before you investigate alternate OSes further you learn the difference between disks and partitions. otherwise you could really hose your system.
[23:18] <AlphaPsi> text documents named eula*
[23:18] <westz> uela is "User End License Agreement"
[23:18] <westz> *End User
[23:19] <AlphaPsi> Hmm alright, still not sure what it is
[23:19] <AlphaPsi> theres an install
[23:19] <AlphaPsi> installer*
[23:19] <westz> its that thing you have to agree to before you install something
[23:19] <westz> what's the filename of the installer?
[23:19] <AlphaPsi> "install"
[23:19] <AlphaPsi> lol
[23:20] <westz> not "install.exe"?
[23:20] <westz> wait can you see file extensons for known filetypes?
[23:20] <AlphaPsi> Well it's an Application file according to windows explorer
[23:20] <AlphaPsi> So I'm assuming its .exe
[23:20] <drahst> redhat ownz
[23:20] <drahst> joking
[23:21] <westz> *facepalm* i recommend you learn more about computers before you try installing ubuntu
[23:21] <AlphaPsi> Oh theres another installer too: "VC_RED"
[23:21] <AlphaPsi> Wait what do you mean?
[23:21] <drahst> what are you installing?
[23:22] <westz> first, go read up on what partitions are, and disk drives (RAID might be worth your time too)
[23:22] <AlphaPsi> Not sure just trying to figure out what's in this random partition on my harddrive
[23:22] <westz> then, go read up on what a botloader is
[23:22] <bluezone> escott, i tried all format(x) and it says sytanx error near '(' for: xinput set-int-prop 10 255 format (8) 0.5
[23:22] <neoncamouflage> Can you run modify the partition you're currently using? Like delete a 2nd and expand the one you're on to the whole disk?
[23:22] <pelo> hola
[23:22] <AlphaPsi> bootloader is boots up the/an OS right?
[23:22] <westz> yes
[23:22] <pelo> hablas en español
[23:23] <westz> but it's a little more complex than what you're giving it credit for
[23:23] <mneptok> !es | pelo
[23:23] <|Long|> hi, i need to manually update my new DNS where do i go from ssh screen?
[23:23] <pelo> no entiendo mucho

[23:24] <westz> read up buddy
[23:24] <pelo> ok

[23:24] <mneptok> pelo: de nada
[23:24] <rypervenche> This is like watching a movie. I need popcorn.
[23:24] <AlphaPsi> But do I really need to know it?

[23:25] <PythonSnake> Hi I just rebooted now I can't go to ubuntu it says *Starting things like VirtualBox.. [ok]
[23:25] <gl-> hi, I have really bad 3d performance with natty and intel embedded graphics
[23:25] <mneptok> AlphaPsi: this is like you asking for directions on the highway, and when we tell you to steer left, you answer "STEER?!
[23:25] <gl-> I read a bit of stuff on the net
[23:25] <westz> AlphaPsi: not if you're going to install and use ubuntu, simply because you'll figure it out yourself over time, but if you want to uninstall iubuntu later, yes you need to know
[23:25] <PythonSnake> the last one was Stopping anac(h)ronistic cron
[23:25] <gl-> but there doesn't seem to be anything consistent
[23:25] <PythonSnake> help
[23:26] <mneptok> AlphaPsi: you have to walk before you can run.
[23:26] <Madara`> any one installed coova chilli on ubuntu 9.10 server or above and working fine ?
[23:26] <AlphaPsi> Hmm, but then what types of things do I even need to know?
[23:26] <PythonSnake> please..
[23:27] <westz> AlphaPsi: precisely what mneptok  said. dont think this makes linux/ubuntu difficult, its not really, but if you want to know whats going on, go search this stuff
[23:27] <westz> !bootloader | AlphaPsi
[23:27] <AlphaPsi> Like what type of stuff? I have understood so far, it's just I need a few clarifications?
[23:27] <zi> What do I do now: http://ompldr.org/vOTlkMA ?
[23:27] <mneptok> AlphaPsi: what is a partition? how many primary partitions can an MSDOS disklabeled machine have? what is an extended partition? what is a swap partition? do i need one? how do i delete an existing partition in Windows and free the space for another OS?
[23:27] <mneptok> etc etc etc
[23:28] <westz> AlphaPsi: all the questions he posed, you should be able to answer if you want to be able to uninstall ubuntu later
[23:29] <AlphaPsi> Hmm, the thing I dont know is what an extended partition is and what a swap partition is
[23:29] <PythonSnake> Guys I really need help..
[23:29] <mneptok> AlphaPsi: so ... how many primary partitions can be on a disk with an MSDOS disklabel?
[23:30] <westz> mneptok: i know, i know, ask me! :P
[23:30]  * mneptok senses a Google search occurring
[23:31] <westz> what does windows call the file that acts as swap again? i forgot what the term is
[23:31] <hellhammer> I'm running ubuntu 10.04 and im having a problem with my dell 15'' monitor.The display has this zig zaggy heat wave effect and I dont know how to correct this or whats even wrong I cant change the refresh rate on the monitor whats going on and how do i fix it?
[23:31] <westz> i know they have a file instead of a partition though
[23:31] <AlphaPsi> 4? That's what I'm guessing
[23:31] <mneptok> westz: pagefile
[23:31] <westz> AlphaPsi: you're right, but how did you get that answer
[23:31] <westz> aaah thanks mneptok
[23:32] <mneptok> AlphaPsi: do you really want to be guessing as Linux formats huge portions of your hard drive? i wouldn't.
[23:32] <westz> and also, that shouldnt have been a guess
[23:32] <AlphaPsi> Research, although I'm not sure the importance of that answer so it's useless I guess
[23:32] <AlphaPsi> Definitely 4 then.
[23:32] <AlphaPsi> ...
[23:32] <bazhang> !enter | AlphaPsi
[23:32] <escott> hellhammer, what kind of display is this? crt?
[23:33] <westz> lol AlphaPsi  pissed off the bot
[23:33] <hellhammer> LCD
[23:33] <hellhammer> its an LCD monitor
[23:33] <PythonSnake> help !!!!
[23:33] <PythonSnake> I can't boot on linux
[23:33] <bazhang> !helpme | PythonSnake
[23:34] <PythonSnake> it shows a black screen
[23:34] <westz> also, AlphaPsi : if you type my name before your comments, it's easier for me to see your questions/comments
[23:34] <PythonSnake> with things like Starting Virtual box    [OK]
[23:34] <tiox1> I'm chatting from Finch, because for some odd reason or another, gdm won't come back(?) and I was trying to figure out how to revive it and log in with my lovely GUI.
[23:34] <PythonSnake> last line was Stopping anac(h)ronistic : cron
[23:34] <PythonSnake> help !!!!
[23:34] <westz> all you really have to type for me is "w" and press tab, it'll autocomplete
[23:34] <bazhang> PythonSnake, we saw. no need to repeat so quickly nor ask help!!
[23:35] <ohzie> tiox1: sudo service gdm stop, sudo service gdm restart
[23:35] <tiox1> PythonSnake: Please. People need help, not some madman screaming it.
[23:35] <PythonSnake> :(
[23:35] <PythonSnake> :(
[23:35] <bazhang> PythonSnake, stop that
[23:35] <AlphaPsi> westz, mneptok: Oh okay thanks, although I'm still not sure the signifence for those questions/answers
[23:35] <Madara`> i install coovachilli using this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/CoovaChilli on ubuntu 9.10 Server everything is working, but! coova after that redirect me coova logo at right top without login screen any one solved this issue ?
[23:35] <THIS_IS_INSANE> I'm running a dual OS system w/ ubuntu 11.04 and XP SP3. when I boot up, there's no OS selection screen, and ubuntu boots. How do I boot back into XP
[23:35] <westz> AlphaPsi: it's basically general knowledge stuff that would come into play if installing another OS
[23:35] <mneptok> AlphaPsi: it's the same as knowing every road sign shape before you get your driver's license. there are just some things you should know.
[23:36] <ohzie> THIS_IS_INSANE: You have to modify your boot list
[23:36] <bazhang> THIS_IS_INSANE, hit shift at boot to get the grub menu
[23:36] <westz> AlphaPsi: trust me, its not that difficult a concept, and you'd rqather know before hand
[23:36] <ohzie> THIS_IS_INSANE: Or that
[23:36] <THIS_IS_INSANE> k thanks
[23:37] <AlphaPsi> westz, mneptok: Can you guys give me examples? I'm really just trying to learn now
[23:37] <westz> be back in a few...
[23:37] <|Long|> hi, i need to manually update my new DNS where do i go from ssh screen?
[23:37] <bazhang> !partition | AlphaPsi have a read please
[23:37] <hellhammer> I'm running ubuntu 10.04 and im having a problem with my dell 15'' monitor.The display has this zig zaggy heat wave effect and I dont know how to correct this or whats even wrong I cant change the refresh rate on the monitor whats going on and how do i fix it?
[23:38] <bazhang> !manual | AlphaPsi this may help too
[23:38] <Will123456> hey guys. my super button doesn't work anymore. none of the unity dash shortcuts work, even though they're still assigned when checking compiz config settings manager. how can i fix it?
[23:40] <tiox1> I prefer Partedmagic as  partitionmanager for some reason.
[23:41] <tiox1> It's great. Uses LXDE, WICD for wireless connections, pre-configured Conky, and tools using various interfaces to toy around with. System maint stuff, hard disk eraser, cool stuff like that.
[23:43] <westz> back
[23:43] <westz> btw mneptok i just saw that PM. nice
[23:44] <westz> !ping
[23:44] <pdtpatrick> Question .. my bluetooth on macbook stopped working recently. I have installed ubuntu on the laptop. How do i reconfigure bluetooth? i've done sudo dpkg-reconfigure bluez  ... that does nothing. I've stopped and started bluetooth daemon. Is there a module that needs to be loaded first? I seeing hidraw0 and hiddev0 in dmesg when the IR part starts
[23:44] <THIS_IS_INSANE> so I tried hitting shift, and I saw "GRUB loading" and then my screen went black and my monitor said "Out of Range" and I couldn't see anything. I then hit the enter key, and ubuntu booted up...
[23:45] <westz> i didnt realize ubottu had a sense of humor
[23:45] <westz> THIS_IS_INSANE: is it an lcd monitor?
[23:45] <THIS_IS_INSANE> yeah
[23:45] <westz> video card problems then
[23:45] <marsfligth> Hi, does exist in 'RSYNC' a way to make the same that does '-z' in ms 'xcopy'?
[23:46] <THIS_IS_INSANE> how do I fix that?
[23:46] <westz> make sure your video card is in the slot fully, and if it is, and its still doing it, buy a new video card
[23:46] <THIS_IS_INSANE> I have onboard graphics only.
[23:46] <WXZ> anyone ever use pinta?
[23:46] <velofille> marsfligth, what does -z do in xcopy?
[23:47] <westz> THIS_IS_INSANE: that sucks
[23:47] <AlphaPsi> When full installing do I need to partition my harddrive before or after? or does the installer have an option to modify the partitions?
[23:47] <westz> AlphaPsi: you do it in the installer
[23:48] <AlphaPsi> Oh okay, can you delete partitions from the installer, I plan to delete/remove my DATA (D:) drive
[23:48] <westz> go for it
[23:48] <rypervenche> AlphaPsi: Yep.
[23:48] <elevenpointfive> AlphaPsi: Yes, you can.
[23:49] <THIS_IS_INSANE> westz: yeah it does. what is the order for the boot menu? cause If I have the order, I can select it in the dark...
[23:49] <westz> AlphaPsi: its a partition, not a drive.
[23:49] <lddddleoo> hi have serious problem. have windows ubuntu 11.04 partition. ubuntu has become corrupted after downloading gnome app to change desktop themes etc. i have no toolbar of side widget.
[23:49] <westz> THIS_IS_INSANE: it's probably the last one in the list. is this an old installation?
[23:49] <pdtpatrick> Question .. my bluetooth on macbook stopped working recently. I have installed ubuntu on the laptop. How do i reconfigure bluetooth? i've done sudo dpkg-reconfigure bluez  ... that does nothing. I've stopped and started bluetooth daemon. Is there a module that needs to be loaded first? I seeing hidraw0 and hiddev0 in dmesg when the IR part starts
[23:49] <lddddleoo> if i use the boot recovery partition for ubuntu will it wipe all my files
[23:50] <lddddleoo> or is there another way
[23:50] <westz> pdtpatrick: sounds like your bluetooth is shot honestly
[23:50] <AlphaPsi> a drive is short for harddrive right?
[23:50] <lddddleoo> if i right click on desktop can get app launcher is there nething i can use that wont wipe files to recover ubuntu
[23:50] <westz> AlphaPsi: no, there are multiple types pof drives. disc drives, disk drives, harddrives, flash drives etc
[23:50] <THIS_IS_INSANE> westz: kinda. my last secondary HDD died, and it messed up my primary, so I did a repair installation two days ago, and got a new secondary drive and installed ubuntu on half of it.
[23:50] <marsfligth> velofille:   /Z   Copy files in restartable mode. If the copy is interrupted part  way through, it will restart if possible. (use on slow networks)
[23:50] <westz> a hard drive is a type of drive
[23:51] <lddddleoo> everything has changed to bloomin gnome
[23:51] <AlphaPsi> So my machine only has 1 hard drive with two partitions (that I know of, there may be a recovery partition I think) the (C:) partition and the (D:) partition?
[23:51] <westz> THIS_IS_INSANE: try hitting down 4 times and enter
[23:51] <lddddleoo> ne suggestions
[23:51] <THIS_IS_INSANE> okay. brb
[23:51] <westz> AlphaPsi:  correct. but i dont think you have a recovery partition
[23:52] <lddddleoo> if i use boot recovery option will it wipe my files
[23:52] <velofille> marsfligth, ahh . i think it does that by default,
[23:52] <drahst> so which virtualization platform runs the best and is most reliable on ubuntu?
[23:52] <velofille> marsfligth, but i could be wrong. alternatively just run the same rysnc again, it resumes where it left off
[23:52]  * drahst eyes dentonsvk.
[23:52] <drahst> Identity crisis?
[23:53] <lddddleoo> ne brains here how to get back toolbar and sidebar]
[23:53] <lddddleoo> and recover corrupted ubuntu
[23:53] <dov> anyone here know how to convert a task to a calendar event in evolution?
[23:54] <robin0800_> lddddleoo: alt+f2 and type unity
[23:54] <lddddleoo> i could put files on web storage and then just reinstall i suppose. think its ubuntu one innit
[23:54] <marsfligth> velofille: thanks
[23:54] <lddddleoo> alt f2 not working
[23:54] <lddddleoo> does boot recovery option wipe everything
[23:54] <AlphaPsi> westz: Okay I checked Computer Manger and it shows three partitions on my drive
[23:55] <westz> lddddleoo: does your terminal work? (ctrl alt t)
[23:55] <lddddleoo> no
[23:55] <robin0800_> lddddleoo: must have crashed then
[23:55] <lddddleoo> just have desktop
[23:55] <lddddleoo> restart but still no luck
[23:55] <lddddleoo> i only have app launcher by right clicking desktop
[23:55] <lddddleoo> nething i can use
[23:55] <mneptok> drahst: both my wife an the COO of our company swear by the VirtualBox installs i gave them
[23:55] <mneptok> *and
[23:56] <westz> try using a different login mode (at the bottom it should say "unity" click it and change it to "classic"
[23:56] <AlphaPsi> westz: A nameless one, the (C:) one, and the (D:) one.
[23:56] <robin0800_> lddddleoo: reboot and choose classic instead of unity at logon
[23:56] <dov> anyone here using evolution tasks? or know the right channel to ask in?
[23:56] <lddddleoo> ah ok
[23:56] <lddddleoo> y did that app corrupt it
[23:56] <westz> AlphaPsi: okay so maybe you DO have a recovery partition. its not a big deal really, doesnt change your install much
[23:57] <Somelauw> Hi, can I change the save / open file dialogs somehow?
[23:57] <AlphaPsi> oh okay so I won't have to worry about it?
[23:57] <lddddleoo> i will try and save my photos of doggy first just in case
[23:57] <westz> i dont think so. it means your install will use logical partitions, but idk if it'll actually ask you about it...
[23:57] <jwash> hi everyone, can someone assist me getting my workspace situation corrected? i have enabled 4, but I can't switch between them. I do have the workspace switcher enabled and showing, but it only shows one workspace.
[23:58] <sweetest> escott: just wanted to say it works
[23:58] <sweetest> it's actually very simple to say it with xrandr
[23:58] <westz> jwash: ctrl+alt+(directional button) not working?
