[16:15] <elijah> Looks like it is scp ~/{file1,file2} elijah@hostname.com:~/
[16:16] <pconwell> ActionParsnip: it shows up as "logical name: /dev/scd0" and the next line says "logical name: /dev/scd0". Is it normal to have two entries like that?
[16:18] <ActionParsnip> pconwell: maybe its a combi drive thing
[16:19] <bw_> Is there a preferred method of disabling services on boot? Create an service.override file or use chkconfig?
[16:20] <theadmin> bw_: err huh? chkconfig is a redhat thing, I have no idea what "service.override" is at all. Just use bum or rcconf
[16:20] <pconwell> ActionParsnip: yes it is, but both seem to work the same (as far as I can tell)...
[16:20] <zo1d> got a general question:  does anyone know if there is an interactive tutorial to learn C/C++ programming for linux?  want to learn so i can start working on learning how to update android kernels to 3.x from 2.6
[16:20] <calmpitbull> How to record desktop in HD, ubuntu 11.10
[16:20] <auronandace> zo1d: that isn't a ubuntu support question
[16:21] <raj> what's <IP_ADDRESS> ?
[16:21] <zwoxyz> 1ip
[16:21] <kpas_> loop address
[16:21] <raj> in /etc/hosts
[16:21] <kpas_> in hosts file under etc
[16:21] <raj> it's listed for 'ubuntu'
[16:21] <bw_> theadmin: You can DL chkconfig from the repo. And the service.override is an upstart feature. All you do is place a file with manual in it /etc/init/ssh.override
[16:22] <mneptok> raj: the common loopback address for localhost
[16:22] <theadmin> bw_: Oh, I see, sorry, I wasn't aware.
[16:22] <raj> what does the loopback do?
[16:22] <zwoxyz> hello
[16:22] <mneptok> raj: it's how the machine talks to itself using TCP/IP, UDP or other network protocols
[16:22] <raj> also, some entries have two columns, some have 3, that's okay?
[16:22] <zwoxyz> What's the backtrack irc?
[16:22] <ActionParsnip> raj: loopback IP
[16:22] <ekaleido> http://lmgtfy.com/?q=loopback+address
[16:23] <ActionParsnip> raj: its how systems talk to services running on the same system
[16:23] <zwoxyz> backtrack linux irc channel?
[16:23] <mneptok> ekaleido: lmgtfy URLs are most unwelcome
[16:23] <raj> some are--> <IP_ADDRESS>    localhost.localdomain   localhost
[16:23] <awolfey> I'm trying to set up a vpn to the office win server. I have made a vpn connection but I can't figure out how to mount the drive. Google not giving much help. Do I use Connect to server from the file browser to do this?
[16:23] <raj> some are--> <IP_ADDRESS>  ubuntu

[16:24] <ActionParsnip> raj: <IP_ADDRESS>/8 are effectively the same
[16:24] <raj> is that okay for some to have 2 columns, some to have 3?
[16:24] <ActionParsnip> raj: sure
[16:24] <raj> k
[16:24] <kpas_> yes it is raj
[16:24] <bw_> theadmin: no problem..were you recommending I edit rc*.d by hand?
[16:24] <raj> thank you
[16:25] <theadmin> bw_: Meh? I just do "sudo mv /etc/init/something.conf /etc/init/something.conf.DISABLED"
[16:25] <theadmin> bw_: Upstart ignores stuff not ending in conf so
[16:26] <satty> how to reset the screen brightness after login
[16:27] <theadmin> bw_: That, and, well, I myself don't use Upstart (or Ubuntu as such), but that's how I'd do it if I were
[16:27] <satty> every time i login it brightness is at maximum. I want this to as I want
[16:27] <bw_> theadmin: Not quite sure I understand you, but what do you mean?
[16:28] <artao> ubottu@satty: i just discovered grandr .. might that do it?
[16:28] <theadmin> bw_: initscripts with Upstart are located under /etc/init/*.conf -- if the file doesn't end in .conf Upstart ignores it and doesn't start the respective service, so...
[16:28] <g-wiz> hi everyone
[16:28] <slipttees> ActionParsnip: i need create image of partition using dd and foremost to rescue files :D
[16:29] <satty> ubottu, touchpad
[16:29] <hamed> hey there
[16:30] <ActionParsnip> slipttees: may want to use dd_rescue
[16:30] <bw_> theadmin: I see, preciate it.
[16:31] <theadmin> bw_: There are tools like rcconf, chkconfig (you just mentioned), update-rc.d and bum that will help with it
[16:31] <theadmin> Oh.
[16:32] <freezey> hey anybody have a link to the main ubuntu repos?
[16:33] <ActionParsnip> freezey: packages.ubuntu.com

[16:38] <selite> Hey, my sony vaio charger died. There are some universal ones though they have different voltages than the original one...  I wasnt too succesful i think. Then i realized apache is maybe already running on this host
[16:39] <theadmin> selite: Go to ##hardware , we don't support such things here.
[16:39] <newbie|3> see
[16:39] <lightpriest> selite, you should the connector on your laptop, they sometimes accept a range of voltages

[16:39] <ActionParsnip> lightpriest: run:  sudo lshw -C network; lsb_release -a; uname -a; sudo rfkill list     then use http://pastie.org   to host the output
[16:39] <hamed> hi
[16:39] <newbie|3> but for somerearon i dont know how to make it work
[16:39] <sybariten> i checked with ps -aux and it seems like it was. Then i tried stopping it, and got it out of the ps result. But i still get a test page when pointing a browser to the host. What gives?
[16:39] <ActionParsnip> newbie|3: backtrack isn't supported here in any way
[16:40] <freezey> anybody know why this is going down? http://pastie.org/3310096
[16:40] <hamed> hi
[16:40] <hamed> hi
[16:40] <hamed> hi
[16:40] <iceroot> freezey: because the "ubuntu" is wrong
[16:40] <FloodBot1> hamed: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:40] <freezey> ?
[16:40] <iceroot> freezey: its not ubuntu-main and so on, its main

[16:41] <iceroot> freezey: the question is why
[16:41] <iceroot> freezey: you are using ubuntu? you did not edit it by hand?
[16:41] <ActionParsnip> freezey: try switching server
[16:41] <freezey> iceroot:  it was an AMI
[16:41] <newbie|3> how_?
[16:42] <freezey> yeah it was am AMI that i got from amazon that seems to be a bit screwy
[16:42] <iceroot> ActionParsnip: its not the server, the lines in sources.list are wrong
[16:42] <ActionParsnip> freezey: maverick is EOL in april so i suggest you upgrade soon

[16:51] <iceroot> newbie|3: what else infos do you want from us about "backtrack is not supported here"?

[16:55] <Slart> btby: I think there might be some scripts/folders in /etc/acpi/  .. it's possible you have to install acpid first.. but that should at least get you a place to start searching
[16:56] <awhitehatter> urlin2u, no problem...maybe it's a hw failure, it's an older lappy... i'm going to try a live distro to see what happens.

[16:58] <DXBLouie> how do i set ethernet speed in 11.10? i can run "ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full" at boot, but is there a way to get NetworkManager to do it?
[16:59] <awolfey> I'm trying to set up a vpn to the office win server. I have made a vpn connection but I can't figure out how to mount the drive. Google not giving much help. Do I use Connect to server from the file browser to do this?
[16:59] <artao> crap! I think i poochedmy system. Grub should come right up on boot, yes?
[16:59] <compdoc> DXBLouie, thats automatically done when the nic detects the switch
[17:01] <DXBLouie> compdoc, i know.. i have gigabit switch and wiring, but on this box whenever the link is 1000mbps, it keeps going up and down, till i set the speed down to 100
[17:01] <DXBLouie> [67406.373042] r8169 0000:05:00.0: eth0: link down
[17:01] <DXBLouie> [67408.594268] r8169 0000:05:00.0: eth0: link up
[17:01] <jonko> channel is about ubuntu user support
[17:01] <artao> now my computer won't boot to win 7 OR linux. it's just sitting there blinking a cursor at me. ... I had my doubts about letting grub go on the MBR .. the installer didn't see my win 7, but i figured i could adjust that
[17:01] <zwoxyz> ActionParsnip: ok
[17:02] <MonkeyDust> can ethernet handle speeds of 1000mbps?
[17:02] <compdoc> DXBLouie, you have a problem with the nic, wiring, or switch. might be better to fix it, than manually setting the speed
[17:02] <jonko> its a the same but with nice gui
[17:02] <ActionParsnip> MonkeyDust: sure, as long as both ends support it
[17:02] <Spec> MonkeyDust: can ethernet handle gigabit? sure.
[17:02] <artao> soooo .. why won't grub load for me? i'm on my 1st reboot after install
[17:03] <DXBLouie> compdoc, the switch works fine, my windows box (identical) runs 1000mbps, i switched cables.. but that's besides the point
[17:03] <zwoxyz> ActionParsnip: Join BACKTRACK channel
[17:03] <ActionParsnip> artao: what GPU do you use?
[17:03] <artao> gpu? ati x600
[17:03] <DXBLouie> compdoc, at this point i'd much rather just set it to 100mbps.. the NIC is embedded, and my expansion PCIe ports are used
[17:03] <ActionParsnip> zwoxyz: done
[17:03] <jonko> tool artao ?
[17:03] <artao> ??
[17:03] <jonko> artao ?
[17:04] <DXBLouie> agian, that's besides the point, my question is really whether there's a way to set adapter options via NetworkManager, as opposed to setting an if-up script in /etc/network/interfaces and ditching NetworkManager
[17:04] <artao> i'm trying to get my comp. to boot ... grub won't start .. 1st boot after install
[17:04] <compdoc> DXBLouie, yeah, I often see bad onboard nics. No pci slots?
[17:04] <ActionParsnip> !nomodeset | artao
[17:04] <GranCenSail> I installed Hardinfo and it has a lot of great information, but I still can't tell what my graphics card is or how to adjust the screen brightness.
[17:04] <DXBLouie> compdoc, two pci-e, one used with the video card, one used with a fax modem (fax server)
[17:04] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip: if artao isn't seen any grub, i'm not sure nomodeset will help (or is an option to set)
[17:05] <thegauntlet> Ubuntu 11.10 update manager just installed some updates, wanted to reboot and when it came back, every time i move the mouse, the screen goes black and then the login prompt appears. How can I fix?
[17:05] <ActionParsnip> zykotick9: the default is to not show grub though
[17:05] <artao> but the bootloader isn't even coming up .. i have no opportunity to use nomodeset
[17:05] <ActionParsnip> artao: hold shift at boot, does it show?
[17:05] <artao> i'll try
[17:06] <compdoc> DXBLouie, if you have to set the card manually, it might be best not to use the network manager. you can set everything by hand
[17:06] <ederico> hello all, I'm running Ubuntu 11.10. I was wondering, when I go to the music lens and click on a track it plays automatically in Totem. However, if I click on an album nothing happens. Is this normal, or is there a way I could get the whole album to play and be queued in Totem (or any other app)?
[17:06] <artao> holding shift .. all i get is a blinking cursor in the upper left of the screen
[17:06] <davidcalle> ederico, the Music lens is (by default) only working with Banshee.
[17:06] <artao> i think i pooched my MBR .. won't boot into win 7 either

[17:07] <zykotick9> artao: i'd try following the directions on restroing grub, sounds like it's not installed.
[17:08] <artao> 3 ... one sata (primary drive) one IDE, one USB external
[17:08] <davidcalle> ederico, that's why the albums don't play, Totems doesn't understand the concept of albums as Bansheed does.
[17:08] <davidcalle> Totem*
[17:08] <auronandace> artao: maybe you need to change the boot order in the bios
[17:08] <artao> i did that
[17:09] <auronandace> artao: so you are set to boot from the drive hat grub was installed to?
[17:09] <artao> that i'm not sure
[17:10] <artao> i let grub go to the MBR, assuming it was the SATA drive
[17:10] <auronandace> artao: trial and error, try booting from the other
[17:10] <artao> the IDE is set to boot 1st right now, but it also didn't work with the SATA booting 1st
[17:10] <auronandace> artao: ah, in that case i think zykotick9 might be right and grub didn't install
[17:11] <artao> hunh
[17:11] <artao> k
[17:12] <zykotick9> artao: are you using a cd or usb as a live medium?
[17:12] <jonko> mark as manually installed ?
[17:12] <artao> cd
[17:12] <artao> dvd
[17:12] <jbs> cd ..
[17:12] <jbs> cd horseporn
[17:12] <zykotick9> artao: ok, just checking.  USB might cause additional issues.
[17:12] <jbs> woopse wrong window
[17:13] <thegauntlet> Ubuntu 11.10 update manager just installed some updates, wanted to reboot and when it came back, every time i move the mouse, the screen goes black and then the login prompt appears. How can I fix?
[17:13] <auronandace> jbs: yeah, right
[17:13] <agentgasmask> How can I make policykit not prompt for a password when conecting to a wireless network?
[17:13] <johndoe_> hi, is anyone else experiencing crashes in lightdm after the latest updates?
[17:14] <johndoe_> i was using unity-2d from the PPA
[17:14] <auronandace> johndoe_: tried removing the ppa to see if the issue persits?
[17:15] <becom33> Im having issue with opening a mysql port to the net , maby somthing is wrong with iptable . can any of you help ?
[17:15] <johndoe_> its not that easy
[17:15] <johndoe_> i cannot use the desktop
[17:15] <jonko> filesystjohndoe_ to use for /boot on centos 6
[17:15] <johndoe_> if I use the mouse it crashes
[17:15] <auronandace> johndoe_: perhaps you see now why ppas aren't supported
[17:16] <johndoe_> auronandace: thanks for being so helpful
[17:16] <becom33> anyone ?
[17:17] <Barcel0> you think this is correct/good?  append   boot=casper   initrd=/casper/initrd.gz autostart=serere --terminal single --
[17:17] <MonkeyDust> johndoe_  try ppa-purge
[17:17] <zykotick9> becom33: having a DB directly accessible from the net, isn't the greatest security idea.
[17:18] <auronandace> johndoe_: fun to learn the hard way eh? i'm just glad this isn't an issue of failing to make a backup (that lesson can hurt)
[17:18] <becom33> zykotick9: its local machine
[17:18] <jonko> to this even my name say it so why arent you telling me the whole thing about
[17:18] <johndoe_> MonkeyDust: thanks, is there an easy way to revert the packages also? or should I go and inspect them using aptitude?
[17:18] <Barcel0> ?
[17:19] <MonkeyDust> johndoe_  you mean downgrade? don't!
[17:19] <johndoe_> auronandace: theres nothing to learn here, I just want to know if anyone else is experiencing the bug
[17:19] <Barcel0> this line is good?  append   boot=casper   initrd=/casper/initrd.gz autostart=serere --terminal single --
[17:19] <Barcel0> for isolinux
[17:19] <johndoe_> MonkeyDust: yes, I mean downgrade
[17:19] <MonkeyDust> !downgrade > johndoe_
[17:20] <zykotick9> johndoe_: downgrading doesn't work, the apt files involved are a one way process
[17:20] <raj> can someone please remind me how to add a user to the sudo group?
[17:20] <raj> or admin group
[17:20] <johndoe_> MonkeyDust: I dont think you are understanding
[17:20] <jonko> command can i run to install from a centos 6
[17:20] <ederico> davidcalle: Once we get Rhytmbox with 12.04 I guess that will play the albums, right?
[17:20] <jonko> can you provide more details ?
[17:20] <johndoe_> I mean reverting the packages to their old state
[17:21] <johndoe_> its not a problem with unity though
[17:21] <zykotick9> johndoe_: you'll need to remove the affected packages, then reinstall them fresh.
[17:21] <jonko> you with that i'll have to be a hybrid iso
[17:21] <gadeynebram_> Hi, Could someone help me with this issue http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11661282#post11661282
[17:21] <johndoe_> the problem is with the latest X upgrades
[17:21] <auronandace> jonko: why are you asking about centos in #ubuntu?
[17:21] <gadeynebram_> When I boot my laptop my screen remains blank
[17:22] <jonko> to boot
[17:22] <davidcalle> ederico, yes.
[17:22] <zykotick9> gadeynebram_: have you tried nomodeset?  "/msg ubottu nomodeset" for details.
[17:22] <ederico> davidcalle: thanks for your explanation :)
[17:22] <EvilResistance> jonko, if your question is about CentOS and its live environment, you need a CentOS channel.  SInce I just showed up, can yo uelaborate: <jonko> [02/03/12 12:20:44] command can i run to install from a centos 6
[17:22] <johndoe_> let me start again, is here anyone having problems with using the mouse in X?
[17:23] <EvilResistance> jonko, "install what from centos 6"
[17:23] <jonko> working with banshee
[17:23] <meerkats> giugok
[17:23] <davidcalle> ederico, if you want to use an other music player with the music lens, it's still possible with a PPA. What music player are you using?
[17:23] <meerkats> hear me!!!
[17:24] <auronandace> johndoe_: latest X upgrades? are you using a xorg ppa?
[17:24] <ederico> davidcalle: I currently enjoy using xnoise, as it is lightweight
[17:24] <meerkats> davidcalle, hello?
[17:24] <johndoe_> auronandace: no, just plain stock ubuntu, nothing strange
[17:24] <davidcalle> meerkats, hi
[17:24] <johndoe_> auronandace: but I tried with lightdm, gdm, kdm and even though I can login
[17:24] <johndoe_> the desktop crashes
[17:25] <johndoe_> when I move or click with the mouse
[17:25] <davidcalle> ederico, then no. It only supports rhythmbox, gmusicbrowser, guayadeque and clementine.
[17:25] <johndoe_> and the login screen reappears
[17:25] <jonko> default only working with banshee
[17:25] <auronandace> johndoe_: odd, i don't get that
[17:26] <auronandace> johndoe_: my touchpad and usb mouse works great
[17:26] <johndoe_> yes, it used to work all okay, until I rebooted because of the lateste updates
[17:26] <rohit__> here is output of ping -c 3 www.google.com
[17:27] <meerkats> update manager is extremely slow: it took 30 minutes to upgrade vlc, what could cause it? the download speed was normal, it was the installation speed (deb files and so) that took like 28 minutes
[17:27] <zwoxyz> hei
[17:27] <zwoxyz> ok
[17:27] <ederico> davidcalle: Too bad, I'll have to avoid this functionality. Yet, just in case, how I do I do it with Rhythmbox? I have that installed.

[17:28] <zzecool> GranCenSail: if you look under pci you will find your graphic card

[17:34] <Nach0z> hey can someone tell me where ubuntu 11.10's grub2.cfg is? I've checked my whole HDD and it doesn't seem to exist
[17:34] <MonkeyDust> Nach0z  try locate grub2
[17:34] <auronandace> Nach0z: /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[17:34] <Nach0z> MonkeyDust: already did that
[17:34] <zykotick9> Nach0z: you're probably looking for /etc/default/grub
[17:34] <ederico> davidcalle, thanks, logging out!
[17:34] <Nach0z> auronandace: that's what someone else said, thought that was grub legacy though
[17:34] <davidcalle> ederic, no problem :)
[17:35] <auronandace> Nach0z: but you're not meant to edit it directly (you should edit the files under /etc/grub.d/)
[17:35] <root_z> anyone know why my windows are laged while i resize it?
[17:35] <Nach0z> auronandace: NO idea how to mess with grub.d. >_>
[17:35] <Nach0z> but thanks
[17:35] <auronandace> Nach0z: grub legacy uses menu.lst
[17:35] <goldcityman> hello, I use Ubuntu 9.10 on old pc. It is very slow, AMD Athlon(TM) XP 2400+, 1 GB Ram... What can I do? I have a lot of lags on flash sites...
[17:35] <Nach0z> auronandace: alrighty thanks
[17:36] <auronandace> goldcityman: there is no way to improve flash performance, ask adobe
[17:36] <zykotic10> !9.10 | goldcityman
[17:36] <auronandace> !lubuntu | goldcityman
[17:36] <ActionParsnip> goldcityman: upgrade, karmic now has zero support
[17:36] <goldcityman> mmm u think I can update?
[17:36] <goldcityman> 1 gb ram?
[17:36] <ActionParsnip> goldcityman: I'd wait til April then install Precise which is LTS
[17:36] <Nach0z> goldcityman: you could theoretically re-nice the plugin-container, but auronandace is right, installing LXDE instead of Gnome is a much better option
[17:36] <theadmin> goldcityman: Try Xubuntu or Lubuntu, or maybe Crunchbang or even Arch. We don't support the latter two, but they have brilliant performance :)
[17:37] <oldman> Does ubuntu support HID (usb) compliant touchscreens?
[17:37] <ActionParsnip> goldcityman: sure, minimum requirement is still 512Mb, you will get a more responsive OS with Lubuntu
[17:38] <theadmin> oldman: Yes, Ubuntu does have touchscreen support iirc
[17:38] <goldcityman> what version?
[17:38] <goldcityman> last?
[17:38] <ActionParsnip> oldman: depends on make and model
[17:38] <theadmin> goldcityman: Grab the latest Lubuntu is what I say
[17:38] <goldcityman> what does it mean libasound2>>1.0.22 I'm trying to update chrome
[17:38] <metbsd> lubuntu?
[17:38] <DinoMuffin> You might also like xubuntu
[17:38] <metbsd> whats that
[17:38] <ActionParsnip> goldcityman: oneiric (11.10) is the latest stable
[17:38] <DinoMuffin> if you prefer xfce
[17:38] <ActionParsnip> !lubuntu | metbsd
[17:39] <metbsd> is there buntu?
[17:39] <metbsd> without x window
[17:39] <Zilly> Is there a way to get which input the monitor is displaying (like whether it is displaying from the VGA port or the HDMI)?
[17:39] <ActionParsnip> metbsd: you can install minimal ubuntu which will give a CLI based OS...
[17:39] <MonkeyDust> metbsd  ubuntu server
[17:39] <goldcityman> can I upgrade from ubuntu 9.10 or I have to format?
[17:39] <auronandace> !mini | metbsd
[17:40] <theadmin> goldcityman: You can only upgrade to 10.04, then to 10.10, then to 11.04 and finally to 11.10. Which is a horrible mess. I suggest a reinstall.
[17:40] <zwoxyz> hey
[17:40] <auronandace> !eol | goldcityman
[17:40] <ActionParsnip> goldcityman: you can upgrade to lucid (10.04) then jump straight to Precise when it is released
[17:40] <ActionParsnip> goldcityman: I'd clean install personally

[17:41] <ActionParsnip> LemonAid: what model laptop?
[17:41] <mikeliss> ActionParsnip: I read over that -- doesn't seem to be working, though I did stop short of restarting my laptop. Seemed unnecessary.
[17:42] <auronandace> LemonAid: aren't there any buttons on the monitor?
[17:42] <libnotify> zwoxyz: www.fastandeasy.com
[17:42] <ederico> davidcalle: It didn't work apparently, I added the ppa and installed the scope, but clicking on the album in the dash doesn't launch rhytymbox at all
[17:42] <ActionParsnip> libnotify: please don't bother next time. Thanks
[17:43] <libnotify> why @ ActionParsnip ?
[17:43] <LemonAid> ActionParsnip, Toshiba satelite l655. auronandace, i want to be able to fine tune everything on the monitor.
[17:43] <LemonAid> auronandace, so the buttons are not helpful.
[17:43] <Jean_Jackson> houla!
[17:44] <ActionParsnip> libnotify: its nothing to do with ubuntu support
[17:45] <libnotify> well i have the right to help, thank you!!
[17:45] <ActionParsnip> libnotify: sure but not post links of that nature..
[17:45] <libnotify> and i run armitage on ubuntu, so laylow
[17:46] <ActionParsnip> libnotify: why do I need to know that?
[17:46] <MonkeyDust> libnotify  please stop
[17:46] <libnotify> then shoulda shut up in the first place
[17:46] <johndoe_> auronandace: I fixed it!
[17:46] <ActionParsnip> libnotify: spamming the channel with spurious links is offtopic, that is my point...
[17:46] <auronandace> !yay | johndoe_
[17:47] <rohit__> j
[17:47] <johndoe_> in case anyone cares, I downgraded the latest version of xorg form unity-2d ppa
[17:47] <scott__> i'm trying to install handbrake from a PPA. i've followed the instructions to open the ppa on my system and have done the sudo apt-get update afterwards. At the bottom of the page there are four candidates, yet no linkage.... i'm sure its just me and altzeimers but could someone help me with the next step(s)? here's the page:https://launchpad.net/~stebbins/+archive/handbrake-releases
[17:47] <johndoe_> to the regular ubuntu version
[17:47] <mikeliss> ActionParsnip, libnotify: Alas, you guys debating whether links can be posted like this has stolen the thunder from my question. Human nature is a pain.
[17:47] <MonkeyDust> johndoe_  kindly share the solution with the channel, for future reference
[17:47] <libnotify> drop it then and mind your own business next time..... :)
[17:47] <MonkeyDust> ok
[17:47] <auronandace> johndoe_: tod you the ppa was at fault :)
[17:47] <auronandace> told
[17:47] <ActionParsnip> mikeliss: that guide is all I know
[17:47] <johndoe_> hahah, yes, I realized when I saw it contained a different version of xorg
[17:48] <johndoe_> should I file a bug?
[17:48] <libnotify> johndoe_: do
[17:48] <mikeliss> ActionParsnip: Was afraid of that - I guess a restart it is, then...brb...
[17:48] <ederico> davidcalle: I reinstalled banshee, and that works, I'll go with that for now and then when 12.04 is out I'm doing a fresh install anyways
[17:48] <rohit__> can i ask 1 question about suse here?
[17:49] <scott__> i'll allow it
[17:49] <auronandace> rohit_: is it ubuntu related?
[17:49] <libnotify> rohit_: its all linux ask
[17:49] <xangua> rohit__: no, go to the suse  channel
[17:49] <zykotic10> libnotify: wrong answer
[17:49] <scott__>  /wink
[17:50] <ActionParsnip> rohit__: ask in #suse please, this is ubuntu support
[17:50] <libnotify> zykotic10: didn't see your answer
[17:50] <DummyMode> hi there
[17:50] <auronandace> libnotify: drop the attitude please
[17:50] <libnotify> lol @ DummyMode
[17:50] <scott__> so...how to install a package from a PPA?
[17:50] <rohit__> I have ubuntu 10.10 and suse 12.1 running on my laptop ! i get good internet speed on ubuntu 1mbps,but on suse i only get 30bps or something like that
[17:50] <zykotic10> johndoe_: if the bug is with a PPA, be sure to report it to the PPA - not Ubuntu
[17:51] <auronandace> !ppa | scott__
[17:51] <ActionParsnip> scott__: add ppa then refresh packages, you can then install it like any other package
[17:51] <DummyMode> is there a way to upgrade to a new release without reinstalling? for example, from 10 to 12, just to say something..
[17:51] <theadmin> scott__: Add the ppa, install the package. To add the ppa, use something like this: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:username/repo (e.g: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-next)
[17:51] <johndoe_> yes
[17:51] <Mixxit> hey is there a way i can snap to right side like windows 7
[17:51] <auronandace> rohit_: in that case, thats a suse support question
[17:52] <theadmin> rohit__: Disable IPv6, also please go to #suse
[17:52] <xangua> DummyMode: you can upgrade from 10.04 to 12.04 as both are LTS
[17:52] <MonkeyDust> Mixxit  no, but there is a PPA to snap to the bottom
[17:52] <ActionParsnip> Mixxit: its the grid plugin in ccsm
[17:52] <rohit__> but some people are still interested
[17:52] <MonkeyDust> ah
[17:52] <MystMan> Hello all.  I am installing subversion on a rackspace cloud ubuntu server that i just spun up.  I have installed all pre requisites but never installed and set up svn before.  If anyone knows should I create a repository in the home or www directory and what is the difference
[17:52] <Mixxit> ccsm?
[17:52] <MystMan> Ty ahead of time
[17:52] <DummyMode> xengua, how's the way? apt- something?
[17:52] <Mixxit> sorry i'm pretty new to this :-)
[17:52] <MonkeyDust> Mixxit  compiz config
[17:52] <Mixxit> oh where's that system?

[17:56] <Mixxit> ok i found grid in ccsm
[17:56] <TheExplorer> Greetings fellow ubuntu users, I have a 2 quick questions: firstly i backed up my old harddrive in a single *.tar.gz format, attempting to open the file and extract it is EXTREMELY slow, is there any way to write an index to speed up the process?
[17:56] <Mixxit> do you mean the bindings? i see put bottom left
[17:56] <Mixxit> if so what is KP8 etc?
[17:56] <ActionParsnip> Mixxit: you configure it there dude, have a play
[17:56] <theadmin> TheExplorer: You don't have to open it to extract, you can use the command-line
[17:57] <scott__> actionparsnip: please go to the page i've linked, and find the link to the package, then come tell me where to click. i know it sounds rather acedemic, but the link escapes me
[17:57] <ActionParsnip> scott__: there is nothing to 'click' you need the command I ave
[17:57] <ActionParsnip> *gave
[17:57] <TheExplorer> Dear "theadmin", the file is so big that i cannot extract it at once for a lack of space. I wish to recover select files.
[17:58] <theadmin> TheExplorer: Ah, I see, uh, I think the tar command has some option for that, just a sec
[17:58] <jonko> to see if the issue persits ?
[17:58] <Mixxit> hmm doesnt seme to be doing anything
[17:58] <jonko> might be better to fix it, than manually setting the speed
[17:58] <ActionParsnip> scott__: all you have to do is copy and paste the command I gave and it will install the app...
[17:59] <ActionParsnip> scott__: no idea where you go the idea you click something
[17:59] <TheExplorer> Secondly does anyone know of an "all in one" file explorer, or know of how i would go about setting nautilus to do that. I wish to view all files without folders to recover scattered various documents.
[17:59] <theadmin> TheExplorer: Well to get the list of files all over your hard drive, you can do this: sudo find / | less
[17:59] <MonkeyDust> TheExplorer  try midnight commander
[17:59] <jonko> MonkeyDust : ok
[17:59] <Gentoo64> TheExplorer, what do you mean
[18:00] <libnotify> ok see y'all later, and for you ActionParsnip, kid with your fellow noobs next time and not me
[18:00] <gandhijee_> hey how can i get my monitors back on the top bar in  11.10 like they were in 10.04?
[18:00] <ActionParsnip> libnotify: as long as you don't spam, its all good
[18:01] <scott__> actionparsnip: i have tried the normal input. and gotten back something about it being outdated so on, should i try it again and give you a concise output? this isn't my first time installing from a PPA. i'm just at a loss as to why i can't get the package in this casse
[18:02] <TheExplorer> Gentoo64, I... being the unorganized sort i am, end up saving files to random places for whatever reason. Because i have no single folder that i save my documents in, they are scattered deep in a 15 years worth of sloppy backups and random dirs.
[18:02] <libnotify> i know what spamming is, get a clue
[18:02] <libnotify> ok outta here have important things to do right now
[18:02] <Guest97674> hello
[18:02] <auronandace> libnotify: maybe you should just leave, like you said you were about to
[18:03] <Gentoo64> TheExplorer, i dont get what you want from the file manager, most have tabs
[18:03] <auronandace> !pm | libnotify
[18:04] <kuhno> are the ubottu commends listed somewhere?
[18:04] <auronandace> !brain | kuhno
[18:04] <zykotick9> !bot | kuhno
[18:04] <ActionParsnip> scott__: can you give a pastebin of the output please
[18:04] <libnotify> kuhno: is just but a BOT
[18:04] <kuhno> :D i knew there was a command for that too
[18:05] <ActionParsnip> libnotify: I never doubted yourawareness of the word, just the fact that you comitted it
[18:05] <ActionParsnip> libnotify: think

[18:07] <scott__> actionparsnip: Package handbrake is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[18:08] <scott__> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[18:08] <scott__> is only available from another source
[18:08] <scott__> E: Package 'handbrake' has no installation candidate
[18:08] <zykotick9> scott__: you might want to verify the package name, "apt-cache search handbrake"
[18:09] <n3o> hey
[18:09] <ActionParsnip> scott__: did the ppa add ok?
[18:09] <n3o> alguien
[18:09] <gmachine_24> is there any way to view a list of recently opened docs, regardless of whether they were word-processing (IE typing), a spreadsheet or whatever.
[18:09] <n3o> que hable español
[18:09] <n3o> ??
[18:09] <auronandace> scott__: what version of ubuntu are you using, and what version is the ppa for?
[18:09] <zykotick9> !es | n3o
[18:09] <Aferreiramelo> Somebody use Cinnamon in Oneric?
[18:10] <ActionParsnip> Aferreiramelo: its not supported here
[18:10] <scott__> auronadace: natty : natty
[18:10] <Aferreiramelo> Hey!
[18:12] <raj> when adding a user, how do I give them access to sudo ?
[18:12] <ActionParsnip> raj: add them to the admin group
[18:12] <scott__> actionparsnip: handdbrake-cli  -  vesatile DVD   ripper and video transcoder - command line
[18:12] <MonkeyDust> raj  visudo
[18:12] <Aferreiramelo> Someone uses Cinnamon?
[18:12] <ActionParsnip> scott__: then run:  sudo apt-get install handbrake-cli
[18:12] <raj> ActionParsnip, I meant, could it be done in one shot with the adduser script?
[18:12] <ActionParsnip> Aferreiramelo: its offtopic here
[18:13] <ActionParsnip> raj: sure, read:  man adduser
[18:13] <zykotick9> scott__: the handbrake-cli is command line, are you sure there isn't a handbrake-gtk (GUI)
[18:13] <scott__> actionparsnip: handbrake-gtk - versatile DVD ripper and video transcoder - GTK GUI
[18:13] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip: ;) ^
[18:13] <ActionParsnip> scott__: that too
[18:14] <AkaSrinivasan> hi
[18:14] <AkaSrinivasan> anybody there?
[18:14] <MonkeyDust> no
[18:14] <n3o> yes
[18:15] <kpas_> useradd <username> -G wheel
[18:15] <g105b> Hi, I'd like to allow remote root login to my server - but I don't want the password exposed - can I do this with a priv/pub key?
[18:15] <strapippo> ciao
[18:15] <n3o> I understand
[18:15] <zykotick9> kpas_: admin group is used to determin sudo in ubuntu
[18:15] <MonkeyDust> list
[18:15] <ActionParsnip> g105b: why not use normal users and use sudo as usual?
[18:16] <g105b> ActionParsnip: because I'm allowing remote root for MySQL management through MySQL workbench application
[18:16] <kpas_> oops wrong OS
[18:16] <strapippo> buonasera a tutti
[18:16] <g105b> ActionParsnip: the users won't be in the terminal - the application needs to have root privilages.
[18:16] <zykotick9> !it | strapippo
[18:17] <scott__> guys i am simply not very ubuntu saavy...not to mention ppa saavy...i've done this before with other packages, but for some reason i'm running into issues in this case. which is why i keep posting the page assuming someone will have checked the links there to see if there's issue there
[18:17] <zykotick9> scott__: what happens with "sudo apt-get install handbrake-gtk"?
[18:18] <RKyle> In the event that I forgot my root password to a remote server, what would my options be?
[18:19] <scott__> here's the page once more: https://launchpad.net/~stebbins/+archive/handbrake-releases
[18:20] <zykotick9> !lostpassword | RKyle but why root password?
[18:21] <RKyle> zykotick9, I can't do that on a remote server though.
[18:21] <scott__> zykotick9: you win.  the suffix -gtk was all i needed. yer my hero.
[18:22] <ActionParsnip> RKyle: there is a reason there is no root pass
[18:22] <scott__> honorable mention to actionparsnip for attempting to help. thanks my friend
[18:22] <ActionParsnip> scott__: got the PPA added though :)
[18:23] <RKyle> ActionParsnip, I forgot the password to the account with root access, I do however have access to other accounts on the server.
[18:23] <kuhno> it's really confusing having no root pw anymore... a week ago i still had one :D
[18:23] <ActionParsnip> RKyle: use your account which is in the admin group
[18:24] <RKyle> ActionParsnip, There was only one account in the admin group and I lost that accounts passwords.
[18:24] <RKyle> The rest of the accounts are just basic accounts without root access.
[18:24] <ActionParsnip> RKyle: then you will need to pysically attend the server and use a chroot
[18:24] <scott__> handbrake successfully installed now. thanks folks. much love to the ubuntu community!!   NEXT ROUND'S ON ME!!
[18:24] <damo22> RKyle: can you boot off a livecd and then chroot into it
[18:25] <RKyle> I know the outline of my password but I don't remember the characters.
[18:25] <raj> how do I modify an existing uesr?
[18:25] <RKyle> damo22, It is a remote server.
[18:25] <ActionParsnip> raj: usermod
[18:25] <raj> nm
[18:25] <raj> oh ok
[18:25] <raj> thanks
[18:25] <ActionParsnip> RKyle: time for a smarthands request
[18:25] <damo22> RKyle: you could hack it with a rootkit
[18:25] <anonomegasmasher> hello
[18:25] <sidney_> I get this popup that says something about my network being slow.  I have Acceleration and Sensitivity all the way in Mouse and Touchpad settings but same thing. I know the touchpad isnt messed up because I dual boot and in my other OS its fine. Is there any other setting for this?
[18:30] <LemonAid> Hello. I`m running 11.10 with unity. I tried to adjust the desktop brightness with ccsm but no settings seem to register. Any ideas on what i should do so that the setting take effect ?
[18:30] <meberhart> tigrang - there are more settings in the dconf-editor
[18:30] <ActionParsnip> tigrang: what make and model system????
[18:30] <tigrang> ActionParsnip, Samsung RV515
[18:31] <Cube``_> ActionParsnip: ?
[18:31] <Cube``_> ActionParsnip: it works sometimes
[18:32] <ActionParsnip> Cube``_: is the network stable?
[18:32] <Cube``_> ActionParsnip: network?
[18:32] <Cube``_> im using usb
[18:32] <Cube``_> no internet
[18:32] <ActionParsnip> tigrang: can you give the output of:  sudo apt-get install pastebinit; clear; dmesg | pastebinit        Thanks
[18:32] <ActionParsnip> Cube``_: I see, is the partition healthy?
[18:33] <tigrang> ActionParsnip, sure. Here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/827899/
[18:34] <Cube``_> ActionParsnip: yeah, it works sometimes!
[18:35] <ActionParsnip> Cube``_: have you checked its health, if its NTFS you'll need a windows OS. When you unplug it do you use the safe removal or do you just pull it out?
[18:36] <ActionParsnip> tigrang: try:    echo "options psmouse proto=imps" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.conf        Reboot to test
[18:36] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: If it's ntfs you can as well use "ntfsck" which is a part of ntfsprogs nowadays iirc
[18:36] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: Not sure Ubuntu has that tho
[18:36] <theadmin> !find ntfsck
[18:36] <tigrang> ActionParsnip, ok brb. Thanks
[18:37] <theadmin> Ah there
[18:37] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: NTFS is proprietary to Microsoft, I wouldn't scan it with anything else
[18:37] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: Makes sense heh
[18:37] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: Just saying that it is possible
[18:37] <Oxicore> was macht der rechner?
[18:37] <tigrang> ActionParsnip, oh and also. When I press shutdown (ubuntu 11.10) it just logs me out. I need to reboot via a terminal, but one problem at a time :)
[18:37] <errorboy> time
[18:38] <kuhno> is there a way to upgrade an existing xubuntu oneiric to pengolin alpha?
[18:38] <Mixxit> man
[18:38] <Mixxit> don't untick window decorations in ccsm
[18:38] <Mixxit> had to power off my pc
[18:38] <ActionParsnip> kuhno: sudo update-manager -d
[18:39] <ActionParsnip> kuhno: -d is for the (d)evelopment release
[18:39] <kuhno> thx
[18:40] <LjL> kuhno: do that while keeping in mind it's not released and may break at any time
[18:40] <kuhno> yeah, i know that, this is my testing machine
[18:41] <GranCenSail> In Ubuntu 11.10, is there a way to add text to the icons in the launcher (or even make them text-only)?
[18:42] <raj> does ubuntu have some backports type thing so I can get the latest in a package?
[18:42] <LjL> !backports > raj
[18:42] <GranCenSail> I don't like having to identify programs by pictures.
[18:42] <ActionParsnip> raj: you can enable backports, or try find a ppa
[18:43] <tigrang> ActionParsnip, thats MUCH better. thank you
[18:43] <ActionParsnip> tigrang: total guess, thepsmouse module has a few other options. I suggest you make a backup of /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.conf  for future installs
[18:44] <tigrang> ActionParsnip, I lost Touchpad tab in Mouse and Touchpad settings. I cant live without two finger scroll :(
[18:45] <tigrang> ActionParsnip, if I want to undo it, do I just remove psmouse.conf?
[18:45] <raj> LjL, I already have deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric-backports main restricted universe multiverse
[18:46] <raj> in my /etc/apt/ources.list
[18:46] <raj> sources
[18:46] <LjL> raj: then you have the backports enabled
[18:46] <Monkeypaws> im tryin to input a mjpeg http stream from an ip camera and output to something apache can stream.  Is VLC what i need or is there a better way?
[18:46] <ActionParsnip> tigrang: yes just remove the file and reboot :)
[18:46] <ActionParsnip> !ppa | raj
[18:47] <raj> where can I see a list of ubuntu backports online?
[18:47] <LjL> raj: http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric-backports/
[18:50] <grubbyone> what's the best tool to use to do a complete backup of a server to another hard drive?
[18:50] <reisio> from the running server?
[18:50] <ActionParsnip> grubbyone: there is no single best tool for anything in any OS
[18:51] <ActionParsnip> !backup
[18:51] <reisio> sure there is
[18:51] <grubbyone> ok, well I have a fresh installation, the first command I want to run is to backup the entire disk, including the mbr
[18:51] <slipttees> ActionParsnip: dd Erro input/output
[18:51] <slipttees> =/
[18:51] <ActionParsnip> slipttees: dd_rescue will keep going
[18:51] <ActionParsnip> slipttees: sounds like a bad drive
[18:51] <reisio> grubbyone: why the mbr
[18:52] <grubbyone> I want to be able to restore the disk image
[18:52] <slipttees> ActionParsnip:  :-(
[18:53] <reisio> you can save a lot of time by just making a cp/rsync of the filesystem, possibly the mbr, and the partition table
[18:53] <reisio> if you really want an "image", though, read http://mark.koli.ch/2009/05/howto-whole-disk-backups-with-dd-gzip-and-p7zip.html
[18:54] <grubbyone> I want to be able to boot from a stick and restore the drive to a brand new fresh state if I mess anything up
[18:54] <grubbyone> I will probably mess things up quite a bit
[18:54] <ActionParsnip> grubbyone: you can reinstate grub from livecd
[18:55] <ubukou> ActionParsnip, kde is really good..
[18:56] <zykotick9> grubbyone: learning to fix issues, rather then reinstalling - is the first step to getting a lot better on gnu/linux
[18:56] <ubukou> ActionParsnip,  takes me a little time to find things but better that unity
[18:56] <ActionParsnip> ubukou: its good to try new things :)
[18:56] <grubbyone> I know, I just want the option, in case I suspect the machine has been compromised
[18:57] <ubukou> ActionParsnip, that depends.
[18:57] <ubukou> ActionParsnip, hahahahahahah
[18:57] <ubukou> folks what is the command to see what drivers your VGA is running ?
[18:58] <ActionParsnip> ubukou: sudo lshw -C display | grep driver
[18:58] <ubukou> ActionParsnip, cool.. im having an issue with compiz.. it runs but it is very choppy..
[18:59] <zykotick9> ubukou: if you don't have lshw installed, you can use "lspci -vnvn" then find the VGA section, OR check /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[19:00] <ubukou> ActionParsnip, configuration: driver=fglrx_pci latency=0
[19:00] <grubbyone> is there a built in tool to zero out free space?
[19:00] <ubukou> ActionParsnip, i dont think that was it.. there is a command that gives another output..
[19:00] <ActionParsnip> grubbyone: use dd
[19:01] <ActionParsnip> ubukou: then you are using the proprietary driver
[19:01] <ubukou> ActionParsnip, hmmmm..
[19:01] <zykotick9> grubbyone: ActionParsnip's dd command would be for an empty partition, not just free space on an active partition
[19:02] <ActionParsnip> grubbyone: i believe bleachbit can do it
[19:02] <grubbyone> ok, basically I just want to make a direct copy of an entire disk, but not have it take up 120 gigs, so I want to compress what's not in use
[19:02] <surskitty> my kernel logs are between 1.3gb to 1.7gb each and this is only for a span of about two weeks.  apparently the workaround I found to get my wireless card gets it so it logs multiple times a second that the wireless card exists.  how do I get it to not do that?
[19:02] <DinoMuffin> grubbyone: it would help to know why you would need to do this
[19:02] <ActionParsnip> grubbyone: partimage can make a disk image and compress it
[19:03] <surskitty> better yet, just get the log to NOT SAY THE SAME THING A BILLION TIMES
[19:03] <grubbyone> so if I'm on the other side of the world, I can tell someone to "insert this usb stick and type this command" to restore the system
[19:04] <ActionParsnip> grubbyone: sure, why not?
[19:04] <zykotick9> grubbyone: you "might" want to check out the clonezilla livecd
[19:05] <Mixxit> hey all
[19:05] <reisio> grubbyone: but depending on what device/configuration they have, including the mbr could be unhelpful :p
[19:05] <Mixxit> most stuff is working now but wondering about my g15 keyboard
[19:05] <Mixxit> how can i get this going i found an article on the wiki but its for ubuntu 9
[19:06] <grubbyone> it's the same system, I'm not restoring the image to a different system
[19:06]  * zykotick9 thinks drive image backups are a waste of space, save config files and personal documents - reinstall then replace configs and files
[19:06] <reisio> grubbyone: honestly just make a tar of the unmounted system, and include a script or instructions to install/reconfig the partitions, filesystems, and grub
[19:07] <xcyclist> As of my most recent login, my audio has stopped working on my 11.10 64 bit system.  It was working find yesterday.  The output setting always says "Dummy".
[19:07] <kubanc> i get errors composite sync not supported, and the X server doesn't start fully. I have ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility X1400. Any ideas hot to solve it?
[19:07] <ActionParsnip> Mixxit: if you run:  xev     do the keys make events?
[19:08] <Mixxit> they do
[19:08] <jonko> donating to be run securely on smart cards and similar ActionParsnip devices
[19:08] <grubbyone_> is it not way simpler to just do dd if=/restore.img of=/dev/hda
[19:08] <Mixxit> oh wow it just skipped my track
[19:08] <ActionParsnip> Mixxit: then use either ccsm or the keyboard settings to assign commands to them
[19:08] <jonko> 7 either
[19:08] <Mixxit> yay!
[19:10] <ubukou> how do i deactivate proprietary driver in kubuntu ?  i activated it in ubuntu but now i cant find the option under KDE
[19:10] <holstein> ubukou: should be similar.. depends on where you got it, but you can just remove the driver... uninstall
[19:11] <zykotick9> grubbyone_: hda?  What is it 2001 again ;)
[19:11] <xcyclist> Hopping back out.  Looks like the group is way too busy today.
[19:11] <ubukou> holstein, will that activate the opensource driver automaticaly?
[19:11] <grubbyone_> zykotick9: yeah I don't know, please enlighten me
[19:11] <grubbyone_> last time I did this stuff was probably 2001
[19:11] <zykotick9> grubbyone_: everything should be sda these days
[19:11] <holstein> ubukou: the open one didnt go anywhere.. again, it depends on which driver and how you installed it...
[19:11] <grubbyone_> ah yeah, that's what I meant
[19:12] <zykotick9> grubbyone_: even IDE drives should show as SCSI (sd) i mean
[19:12] <jonko> universzykotick9l ide with super powers yeah
[19:12] <ubukou> holstein, i activated the fglrx driver in ubuntu but i swiched to kde
[19:12] <ubukou> holstein, thing is i am running compiz successfully
[19:12] <jonko> hmm, one more thing
[19:13] <holstein> ubukou: cool.. you can just uninstall it as you choose...
[19:13] <ubukou> holstein, but it is really choppy and it freezes a lot
[19:13] <holstein> ubukou: yeah, just depends on what driver and where you got it from
[19:13] <ubukou> holstein, should i boot unity and go deactivate it from there?
[19:13] <holstein> sometiems you can get newer ones from the site
[19:13] <jonko> i don't get better when you reboot, the free encyclopedia
[19:13] <holstein> ubukou: you can.. however you want... that will remever the driver as i am suggesting

[19:43] <ubukou> anybody knows the proper way to remove the ati driver and re-enable the open source driver? i used   sudo apt-get remove --purge xorg-driver-fglrx fglrx* and it resulted in failure.. had to reanable  it so i could boot gui..
[19:45] <zykotick9> ubukou: (just a guess), but after you remove the ATI driver, you probably have to move xorg.conf to a different name.
[19:45] <ubukou> zykotick9, hmm you think xorg.conf was trying to load fglrx?
[19:46] <zykotick9> ubukou: yes i do
[19:46] <ubukou> zykotick9, any reconfigure commands?
[19:47] <zykotick9> ubukou: just move it to a different name, xorg shouldn't be required for "open" drivers (ATI's open driver still relies on proprietary firmware - so i don't consider it open)
[19:47] <GiB_> Understandable, I was just reading the rules and it said something about topics. Anyways, recently got my computer today, installed compiz via the terminal. Since then when I log in using the 3D version the I no longer have a side dock or functionallity of top bar. At this point, seeing as how I have no data on this system yet, I would like to revert it back to its fresh out the box state.
[19:47] <damo22> does ubuntu 11.04 server auto mount usb drives?

[19:48] <damo22> i need a way to write some files to a full OS
[19:48] <damo22> i have 8kb of free space
[19:49] <damo22> can i write a c program that runs a command as root without the root password?
[19:49] <ActionParsnip> damo22: uninstall unused kernels to free up space
[19:49] <ActionParsnip> damo22: run it with sudo.
[19:49] <ubukou> zykotick9, according to some folks over at #ati it does..
[19:49] <damo22> i dont have access to an account with admin rights
[19:50] <ubukou> zykotick9, ohhh sorry misread what you wrote...
[19:50] <damo22> i just have console access to 8kb of space
[19:50] <damo22> and a c compiler
[19:50] <ubukou> zykotick9, according to them the open source dirver tho can support compiz and dual screens
[19:50] <raj> can I locally mount a remote drive I have access to via ssh/sftp ?
[19:50] <ubukou> zykotick9, any expirience on that ?
[19:50] <raj> and is this a safe idea?
[19:50] <ActionParsnip> damo22: you can add the command to the sudoers file, it will not need password for sudo (you may need to still be in the admin group)
[19:50] <zykotick9> ubukou: no personal experience no, i avoid ATI
[19:51] <selina2> hi
[19:51] <FreeSunRide> Hacker wanted go ahead and ping me
[19:51] <LjL> FreeSunRide: sorry?
[19:52] <FreeSunRide> I need help to access by boyfrinds PC I think he is cheating on me
[19:52] <tigrang> Ok so Using synclient -m 100 Im looking at the pressure of my finger. Looks like what I want the min to be to start moving cursor is around 20-25. I set PressureMotionMinZ to 1 and restarted. Doing synclient -l I can see it is set. Now when I do synclient -m 100 again and monitor as I move, it only moves after about 30 pressure.
[19:52] <tigrang> ^ touchpad
[19:52] <Oer> FreeSunRide, wrong channel, this is Ubuntu support.
[19:52] <GiB_> How do I restore my computer to its out of the box state?
[19:53] <zykotick9> GiB_: reinstall
[19:53] <webnet> GiB_, reinstall
[19:53] <LjL> FreeSunRide: that's offtopic for this channel, and probably for this whole network.
[19:53] <webnet> zykotick9, haha beat me to it :P
[19:53] <ActionParsnip> GiB_: could rename the hidden folders in $HOME
[19:53] <sklo> question: am using SSH via putty to get to my "server" but only think i cant do ise use apt-get. When it asks me to install, am soposed to choose "Y" or "n", what ever i do it says "interrupted"
[19:54] <FreeSunRide> Anyone that can help me for a bonus $
[19:54] <oCean> FreeSunRide: please drop that discussion
[19:54] <ActionParsnip> sklo: can you give the output of: sudo apt-get update    use a pastebin
drop it.....this channel is for ubuntu
[19:55] <LjL> sudipta: they're gone
[19:55] <ubukou> zykotick9, ok thanks a lot .. take carte
[19:56] <sudipta> ljl:yeah
[19:57] <sklo> ActionParsnip: it goes without errors
[19:58] <tigrang> ActionParsnip, doing synclient -m 1 and slowly increasing pressure, I see the cursor starts moving at 30+. In my /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf I have http://paste.ubuntu.com/828001/ I set the Min pressure to 1. Any idea
[19:58] <ubukou> anyone knows how i can install radeon/mesa drivers ?
[19:59] <grubbyone_> ok, I'm in a livecd, how do I copy the entire filesystem from /dev/sda?
[19:59] <root_z> how i can fix cursor size with compiz enabled?
[20:00] <heinz> grubbyone_: dd if=/def/sda of=youroutput.file
[20:00] <Ashii> anyone know a tool to set/manipulate title, name, class of window?
[20:00] <grubbyone_> heinz: that will copy the entire drive, I don't have that kind of space
[20:00] <heinz> grubbyone_: more likely you need sda1, though
[20:00] <grubbyone_> I want to just get the files
[20:00] <grubbyone_> non of the unused space
[20:00] <grubbyone_> none*
[20:01] <DummyMode> which is the code name of ubuntu 11? maverik?
[20:01] <sklo> ActionParsnip: solved, coding problem putty via ubuntu ;) ty
[20:01] <xangua> !maverick | DummyMode
[20:01] <Slart> !11.10 | DummyMode
[20:01] <grubbyone_> it's a LVM
[20:01] <Sona__> hi people what is the easiest way to transfer files (ftp?) from a win7 pc onto ubuntu server over local network
!11.04|Dummyboy
[20:03] <root_z> how i can fix cursor size with compiz enabled?
[20:05] <ona7O> hi. is there an good tutorial for using systemd instead of upstart?
[20:05] <blitz> when I installed win using apt-get I got an error while processing winbind
[20:05] <blitz> does anyone know about how to fix that issue?  Vesa = generic driver  Mesa = opensource fglrx = binary?
[20:15] <blitz> right click the icons in the actual quick launch area shovell
[20:15] <mellifera> Vesa = generic driver, if your video card has got it
[20:16] <blitz> should get the keep in launcher icon
[20:16] <blitz> option*
[20:16] <shovell> blitz yes it gives me launch or properties
[20:16] <ubukou> mellifera, vesa is the driver that runs when you initialy install ubuntu then ?
[20:17] <blitz> idk what to tell you then, I don't get either of those options, I get keep in launcher
[20:17] <mellifera> ubukou: not sure. never checked
[20:17] <distatica> Hi folks, I installed DenyHosts on my ubuntu server and now whenever I connect I get put in the deny.hosts file. I can remove myself from that file and login just fine but then disconnect and try again and it's blocked again. Any ideas why that might be?
[20:18] <auronandace> ubukou: i think vesa only gets loaded as a fallback option if no other driver is used and if the card supports vesa
[20:18] <mellifera> ubukou: probably either vesa or plain-vga for the beginning of install
[20:18] <ubukou> auronandace, thats what i understand too...
[20:19] <ubukou> anyone has compiz running with mesa ?
[20:19] <dale__> How do you disable fast user switching? Configuration Editor does not work for this.
[20:19] <ZynuiMaiche> Hello!  I have kind of an odd question...I'm trying to install the Java jdk on a USB using my netbook which has ubuntu on it, but I want the jdk to be usable for a Windows computer.  Is this possible?
[20:20] <dRounse> iceroot: last night when i tried 12.04 it said something like "No UI configruation"
[20:21] <auronandace> ubukou: compiz requires 3d acceleration and mesa alone won't get you that
[20:21] <mellifera> ubukou: at http://mesa3d.org, they say they are opensource
[20:21] <dRounse> anyone know what "No UI configuration" means?
[20:22] <root_z> how i can fix cursor size with compiz enabled?
[20:22] <ubukou> mellifera, damn this is so confusing.. some people write that they have compiz running with opensource driver... could there be some other opensource driver that i am no aware of ?
[20:23] <ZynuiMaiche> dRounse: what gave you that error?
[20:23] <auronandace> ubukou: mesa works in conjuction with other opensource drivers (like nouvaux or radeon)
[20:24] <dRounse> ZynuiMaiche: installing 12.04 on a gateway with a P$
[20:24] <ubukou> so i should install both ?
[20:24] <dRounse> p4*
[20:24] <ZynuiMaiche> from a CD or a USB?
[20:24] <mellifera> ubukou: maybe they mean opensource videocard driver? Some linux drivers aren't opensource. For example, for nvidia cards there is both an opensource and a non-opensource driver
[20:24] <ubukou> auronandace, so i should install both ?
[20:24] <auronandace> ubukou: both of what?
[20:24] <xangua> !pangolin | dRounse
[20:25] <ubukou> auronandace, both libg11-mesa-dri         libg11-mesa-glx   and radeon driver...?
[20:25] <auronandace> ubukou: yes, if you use a radeon card
[20:25] <ZynuiMaiche> dRounse: sorry I'm not sure what you mean by a "P$"
[20:26] <dRounse> ubottu: i tried with other distros someone told me last night that i should try 12.04 because they fixed a lot of things
[20:26] <dale__> How do you disable fast user switching? Configuration Editor does not work for this.
[20:26] <dRounse> ZynuiMaiche: sorry i meant P4
[20:26] <ubukou> auronandace, ok i ll check it out... shouldnt the mesa driver install the radeon as a dependency?
[20:26] <allure> I need a hand with iptables and squid. I have them on different boxes and I am forwarding port 80 on the gateway for 3128 on  que squid box. It works, but I can only see the gateway's IP on the log files. Relevant rules: http://pastebin.com/PhJFej6p  Could anyone give me a hand?
[20:26] <tbocs> radeon ... ah ... that one got me. Is radeon driver already fixed?
[20:26] <auronandace> ubukou: other way around
[20:26] <ZynuiMaiche> sorry dude gotta go good luck though
[20:27] <ubukou> auronandace, hmmm ..
[20:27] <ubukou> auronandace, how can i check if i have radeon ?
[20:27] <dRounse> im gonna update the BIOS
[20:27] <tbocs> if you have another intel video card alongside, you can force using it ... in modprobe
[20:28] <auronandace> ubukou: there is a way yes, but i'm not sure (i got a nvidia card)
[20:28] <mellifera> ubukou: do you know what kind of video card you have?
[20:28] <ubukou> auronandace, good choice :P
[20:28] <tbocs> ubukou, lspci ...
[20:28] <tbocs> ubukou, lspci is the command
[20:28] <ubukou> mellifera, i got a R600 hd3850
[20:28] <shovell> blitz i am sorry i am using the gnome desktop
[20:28] <MonkeyDust> ubukou  type lshw -C display
[20:28] <mellifera> ubukou: that soungs like a Radeon to me
[20:29] <ubukou> mellifera, it is :)
[20:29] <tbocs> mellifera, yea it's a radeon
[20:29] <ubukou> mellifera, ohh im talking about a radeon package...
[20:29] <tbocs> ubukou, do you have an intel alongside by chance?
[20:29] <tbocs> ubukou, well try lspci | grep radeon
[20:29] <ubukou> mellifera, hmmm intel ? onboard?
[20:29] <ubukou> tbocs, intel onboard?
[20:30] <tbocs> ubukou, some computers has intel graphics card and a dedicated card at the same time
[20:30] <tbocs> right?
[20:30] <ubukou> tbocs, lspci | grep radeon gives no output...
[20:30] <tbocs> ubukou, then lspci | grep Radeon
[20:30] <tbocs> it's case sensitive, lol
[20:31] <ubukou> sudo lshw -C display | grep driver gives fglrx..
[20:31] <ubukou> but i just purged it and installed mesa.
[20:31] <tbocs> works on my computer with "R" in Radeon
[20:31] <ubukou> havent rebooted yet.
[20:31] <ubukou> "R"?
[20:31] <ubukou> hhhh :P
[20:31] <ubukou> ohhhh :P
[20:32] <tbocs> ubukou, "Radeon"
[20:32] <tbocs> yea
[20:32] <tbocs> capitalized
[20:32] <ubukou> r679pro
[20:32] <ubukou> tbocs, R670PRO hd3850 ?
[20:32] <tbocs> yeah .
[20:32] <tbocs> that is a Radeon
[20:32] <ubukou> tbocs, i didnt get the R the first time ..
[20:32] <mellifera> ubukou: if you want to be sure you are using the radeon driver, you could specify that in your xorg config file (in /etc/x11)
[20:33] <auronandace> ubukou: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver
[20:33] <cartoonbarsmars> can ubuntu be booted from a cd on a mac
[20:33] <ubukou> auronandace, i have that tab open...
[20:33] <acerimmer> !mac|cartoonbarsmars
[20:33] <auronandace> ubukou: awesome, great minds think alike :)
[20:33] <xangua> cartoonbarsmars: you have the instructions on ubuntu.com
[20:33] <ubukou> auronandace, i just purged fglrx driver and moved to mesa...i ll reboot and see what happens...
[20:34] <ubukou> auronandace, and your talking about your brain and ... whose? :P
[20:34] <ubukou> auronandace, rebooting
[20:34] <cartoonbarsmars> okay thanks, but i have a short time frame to doing something for somebody and i was wondering as far as booting from a cd goes, will i be able to do that just fine like on a toshiba
[20:35] <mellifera> cartoonbarsmars: trying it wouldbe the fastest way to see if it boots
[20:35] <tbocs> I don't know if flgrx will work. It doesn't work on my machine. you can try using the ATI proprietary driver
[20:36] <theadmin> tbocs: fglrx *is* the propertiary driver.
[20:36] <theadmin> I... think
[20:37] <theadmin> And yeah, I'm right
[20:37] <ratcheer> theadmin: Yes, that is correct
[20:37] <tbocs> thanks, theadmin ...
[20:38] <raj> what's the package that pastebin's CL output?
[20:38] <pirat> xcv
[20:38] <raj> i have it and forget what it is
[20:38] <pirat> xcv
[20:38] <pirat> xcvx
[20:38] <pirat> xvc
[20:38] <pirat> xv
[20:38] <FloodBot1> pirat: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:38] <mellifera> can windows tell the difference between a file written by linux using ntfs-3g and any normal windows/ntfs file?
[20:38] <xangua> raj: pastebinit i believe
[20:38] <raj> yeahh
[20:38] <raj> thanks
[20:39] <pirat> hello people ))
[20:39] <zykotick9> mellifera: if it's a text file, yes.  The newlines are handled differently.
[20:40] <mellifera> zykotick9: what if it's not a text file?
[20:40] <zykotick9> mellifera: they "should" be the same
[20:40] <pirat> how a you?
[20:41] <zykotick9> pirat: do you have an ubuntu support question?
[20:41] <theadmin> mellifera: Nah they're the same, but Windows doesn't like Unicode so if the name is, say, Cyrillic Windows might display it as some complete mess. Same goes for text file content.
[20:43] <theadmin> raj: wgetpaste also works well.
[20:44] <Guest63529> hello. When I turn on my laptop running Ubuntu it says *starting MTA
[20:44] <Guest63529> Does that mean Mail transfer agent?
[20:44] <mellifera> usually
[20:44] <Guest63529> mellifera: I never installed any MTA
[20:44] <ubukou> auronandace, seems like when ubuntu is about to start it turns off  both screens and it stays there .. only thing that make the gui boot is apt-get install fglrx*
[20:44] <Guest63529> mellifera: how do I turn it off and why does it say now
[20:44] <Guest63529> when it never said it before.
[20:45] <TGIBT> I managed to install with nomodeset... I do get same problem with graphic driver when i just restart... Any solutions?
[20:45] <mellifera> "sendmail" counts as a MTA, and it's sort of needed
[20:45] <alexdevillx> Hi guys
[20:45] <auronandace> ubukou: when you say gui are you refering to any specific desktop? or does it not even make it to lightdm?
[20:46] <alexdevillx> I have a problem i dont know english well so can anybody give me an answer why i get this error  (voice_nitech_us_slt_arctic_hts) Error: HTS_Model_load_pdf: Failed to load header of pdfs.
[20:47] <mellifera> alexdevillx: are you sure it's really a pdf file, and not just called ".pdf"?
[20:47] <ubukou> auronandace, nope... :S
[20:47] <r3d0ctob3r> Hi guys ! I have a problem with my "apt-get"... And a old proxy I got. I deleted it, clean my /etc/apt/apt.conf file... and the console keep saying I cannot connect to <IP_ADDRESS>:8118. Nobody knows about it please ?
[20:48] <ubukou> auronandace, it should at least crash trying to load lightdm right ? instead screens go out of range.
[20:48] <auronandace> ubukou: so you can't even get to the login manager?
[20:48] <zykotick9> mellifera: the error appears to be in connection with Festival, not PDFs
[20:48] <ubukou> auronandace, right
[20:48] <theadmin> r3d0ctob3r: Check the gnome's proxy settings as well as the $PROXY variable
[20:48] <auronandace> ubukou: wow, thats bad
[20:48] <ubukou> auronandace, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/FglrxInteferesWithRadeonDriver#Problem:%20%20Need%20to%20fully%20remove%20-fglrx%20and%20reinstall%20-ati%20from%20scratch check this out and tell me what you think
[20:48] <auronandace> ubukou: seems like you're stuck with using fglrx
[20:49] <mellifera> r3d0ctob3r: <IP_ADDRESS> should be your loopback interface, and should work on any port if your networking is configured correctly
[20:49] <ubukou> auronandace, search for need to purge
[20:49] <alexdevillx> mellifera its a TTS. Voice synth. I'm trying to make GlaDOS's voice
[20:49] <r3d0ctob3r> I checked it. It is "direct connection to Internet", I apply this setting to the entire system with the butto
[20:49] <r3d0ctob3r> button
[20:50] <ubukou> alexdevillx, i have glados kernel running on my nexus .. is that the same :P :)
[20:50] <theadmin> alexdevillx: Check http://glados.biringa.com , other than that I can't suggest anything which sounds even remotely similar
[20:50] <mellifera> r3d0ctob3r: net packets for <IP_ADDRESS> should never leave your machine
[20:50] <TGIBT> What to do after install with nomodeset, i dont what to do next
[20:50] <alexdevillx> I had puted my text at quee
[20:50] <theadmin> alexdevillx: The system is currently down, but it has instructions
[20:50] <alexdevillx> I cant install
[20:51] <alexdevillx> getting this hell error  it's really a pdf file, and not just called ".pdf"?
[20:51] <iwoj> does anyone know how I could test my parallel port without hooking it up to a printer?
[20:51] <alexdevillx> no no
[20:51] <auronandace> ubukou: sorry i can't help
[20:51] <TGIBT> What to do after install with nomodeset, i dont what to do next
[20:52] <r3d0ctob3r> mellifera I know. But I seek for the why apt-get redirect my commands to localhost but I dont find it. Indeed, I do everything I know... I used to use privoxy before I had this problem
[20:52] <ubukou> auronandace, im running compiz right now .. you should see how bad it looks..
[20:52] <ubukou> auronandace, its ok ;)
[20:52] <iwoj> gnome3 looks awesome.
[20:52] <iwoj> any thoughts on testing a parallel port?
[20:52] <alexdevillx> Ok, so i'll give a link with instructions http://glados.biringa.com/ go to the how the voice is generated. So i go (voice_nitech_us_slt_arctic_hts) in Festival through command prompt and at (SayText "I'm your master") a Error: HTS_Model_load_pdf: Failed to load header of pdfs.
[20:53] <mellifera> iwoj: you have no printer?
[20:53] <iwoj> mellifera: no printer : (
[20:53] <iwoj> mellifera: I'm trying to test a home-made CNC machine.
[20:54] <iwoj> mellifera: the problem could be the machine or the parallel port set-up.
[20:54] <iwoj> mellifera: I need to test the port first.
[20:54] <mellifera> iwoj: not too easy to test the port when you have nothing to test it with
[20:54] <tigrang> Ok so Using synclient -m 100 Im looking at the pressure of my finger. Looks like what I want the min to be to start moving cursor is around 20-25. I set PressureMotionMinZ to 1 and restarted. Doing synclient -l I can see it is set. Now when I do synclient -m 100 again and monitor as I move, it only moves after 30+ pressure. What can I do?
[20:55] <xj88> Hello all, and thanks to everyone who hangs out here, helping. I'm having some issues with a new install of 11.10. It installs without problem, but upon logging in, all I get is the desktop image and a cursor. Nothing else loads. I CTRL+ALT+F2'd my way into a terminal and upgraded all packages, so I should be completely up to date. Going into "Ubuntu 2D" works but isn't what I need. Any thoughts?
[20:55] <alexdevillx> How to generate glados voice?
[20:56] <TGIBT> Nvm, found it
[20:56] <theadmin> xj88: You need your graphics driver
[20:56] <lorenzo> hi, i am following this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Router to set my ubuntu machine as a router. One thing I do not understand: when I set the internal network interface (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Router#Configuring_the_Internal_Network_Interfaces) what addresses should I put in? Thanks
[20:56] <alexdevillx> theadmin, Hello There
[20:56] <theadmin> alexdevillx: Uh, hi.
[20:56] <xj88> theadmin: How to get it?
[20:57] <alexdevillx> theadmin< Ok, so i'll give a link with instructions http://glados.biringa.com/ go to the how the voice is generated. So i go (voice_nitech_us_slt_arctic_hts) in Festival through command prompt and at (SayText "I'm your master") a Error: HTS_Model_load_pdf: Failed to load header of pdfs
[20:57] <theadmin> xj88: Log in to unity2d and from there search for an app called "Hardware Drivers". Run that, it should find the appropriate ones.
[20:57] <mellifera> lorenzo: your "inside" address, like (for example) <IP_ADDRESS>
[20:57] <xj88> theadmin: I'll give that a shot. Regardless of whether or not it works, thanks for helping. =)
[20:58] <lorenzo> the one I get from iwconfig ath0 (ath0 is my internal network interface)
[20:59] <theadmin> alexdevillx: I'm not familiar with speech synthesis honestly -- I just gave you a possible solution. I have no idea how to work it
[20:59] <lorenzo> mellifera, I have an address for my cabled connection going to the outside (eth0), but I cannot see any address for ath0 which is my internal network interface
[20:59] <r3d0ctob3r> I ask my question again : I installed Privoxy few weeks ago, then uninstalled it. It seems to change my network settings... When I run a "apt-get update", I'm said that He cant download from <IP_ADDRESS>:8118 ; however I uninstalled this proxy server, I changed my setting from system preference (dirrect connection to internet), /etc/apt/apt.conf is empty . What is going wrong ?
[20:59] <mellifera> lorenzo: if your outside interface is eth0, your inside interface would be eth1
[21:00] <lorenzo> mellifera, ifconfig shows no eth1
[21:00] <alexdevillx> theadmin< ok
[21:00] <vandal-> is it posible to change character written by pressing Del on keypad? its , by default in polish setup, i would love to set it to . (dot)
[21:00] <alexdevillx> theadmin how long it will take to make my speech
[21:00] <mellifera> lorenzo: have you configured it with ethtool?
[21:00] <theadmin> alexdevillx: No idea as well -- if you mean the site itself then it's currently overloaded so it can take quite some time
[21:00] <lorenzo> mellifera nope, just following the guide I linked
[21:01] <mellifera> lorenzo: both interfaces need to be configured
[21:01] <lorenzo> mellifera, I was gonna use a cabled connection to connect to the internet, and keep the inside network wireless
[21:02] <mellifera> lorenzo: even if the inside interface is wireless, it still needs to be configured
[21:02] <lorenzo> mellifera, configured how?
[21:02] <lorenzo> mellifera, i set it to master mode with iwconfig
[21:02] <mellifera> lorenzo: the same way you configured eth0
[21:03] <xj88> theadmin: I found "Additional Drivers" but all it's coming up with is a software modem. How to find the graphics drivers?
[21:03] <lorenzo> mellifera, I did not configure eth0 honestly, I think i am missing something here. can you help please?
[21:03] <theadmin> xj88: Hm, okay, what is your graphics card?
[21:03] <r3d0ctob3r> I went ahead. I type "env | grep proxy" in console, I was returned : http_proxy=http://<IP_ADDRESS>:8118/ ftp_proxy=ftp://<IP_ADDRESS>:8118/ https_proxy=https://<IP_ADDRESS>:8118/ ; am I just supposed to delete them ?
[21:03] <xj88> theadmin: Checking.
[21:03] <alexdevillx> theadmin< why?
[21:04] <theadmin> alexdevillx: That's offtopic here, and anyway, this isn't an Ubuntu question at all honestly
[21:04] <alexdevillx> theadmin lets join #ubuntu-offtopic
[21:04] <theadmin> alexdevillx: Nah... I'm going to sleep now
[21:05] <kingfarvito> does anyone know of an application that will let me resize rename and move my photos to a folder of my choosing?
[21:05] <staminna> hey guys, I have run out of space in the ext2 boot ( /boot ) partition and I have to remove the previous kernel images before the installing the <IP_ADDRESS>. What is the name of the package to boot from?
[21:05] <mellifera> gimp
[21:06] <xj88> theadmin: Looks like a Intel GMA 950
[21:06] <mellifera> kingfarvito: gimp
[21:06] <kingfarvito> well I'd like to do it without having to open them individually
[21:06] <mellifera> imagemagick
[21:07] <kingfarvito> f-spot is almost what I want but it wont let me rename and it adds a folder called gallery inside all my folders
[21:08] <kingfarvito> I installed imagemagick but now I cant find it
[21:09] <lorenzo> mellifera, how do i configure ath0?
[21:09] <mellifera> lorenzo: you don't. linux needs you to configure eth1
[21:09] <r3d0ctob3r> How can I delete the valu of proxy variable ? ( env | grep proxy )
[21:10] <lorenzo> mellifera, so how do i do that?
[21:10] <mellifera> lorenzo: something must have configured eth0 for you
[21:10] <xj88> theadmin: Looks like it's an Intel GMA 950 graphics processor.
[21:10] <theadmin> xj88: I see... Well the intel drivers should be in the repos, dunno
[21:11] <lorenzo> mellifera, i suppose I did somehow along the process described in the Router guide on help.ubuntu.com
[21:11] <mellifera> lorenzo: so configure eth1 next
[21:12] <guntbert> r3d0ctob3r: unset proxy
[21:12] <lorenzo> mellifera, something like this? auto eth1
[21:12] <lorenzo> iface eth1 inet static
[21:12] <lorenzo>     address <IP_ADDRESS>
[21:12] <lorenzo>     network <IP_ADDRESS>
[21:12] <lorenzo>     netmask <IP_ADDRESS>
[21:12] <FloodBot1> lorenzo: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:12] <lorenzo>     broadcast <IP_ADDRESS>
[21:13] <mellifera> lorenzo: that sounds good
[21:14] <lorenzo> mellifera, so i put that into my /etc/network/interfaces, do I need to configure ath0 next?
[21:14] <xj88> theadmin: Do you know of a way to force a reload of the drivers, maybe?
[21:14] <theadmin> xj88: No, sorry, I'm off
[21:14] <mellifera> lorenzo: all you need to configure is eth0 and eth1
[21:15] <xj88> Balls.
[21:15] <lorenzo> mellifera, and will I be able to connect a client via wifi that way?
[21:15] <mellifera> lorenzo: ath0 is eth1
[21:15] <mellifera> lorenzo: hopefully, if the gods of wifi smile upon you
[21:16] <Jessicatz> Why does my .bashrc in my home directory keep disappearing since yesterday?
[21:16] <Gentoo64> Jessicatz, no idea
[21:16] <r3d0ctob3r> guntbert It stays there.. unset proxy doesnt change anything. If I type "env | grep proxy" I keep having "*_proxy=http://<IP_ADDRESS>:8118", and obviously apt-get doesnt work ... :/
[21:17] <lorenzo> mellifera, do i just restart and try to connecT?
[21:18] <mellifera> lorenzo: if you've done all the rest of the routing configuration, sure
[21:18] <guntbert> r3d0ctob3r: of course, you have to use the variable name in the unset statement :)
[21:18] <lorenzo> mellifera, restarting networking tells me "eth1: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device"
[21:18] <lorenzo> mellifera, do I need to create that?
[21:19] <r3d0ctob3r> guntbert Oh ok :$ I try it, thanks
[21:19] <mellifera> lorenzo: you showed us all a bunch opf lines indicating that it ws already created
[21:20] <lorenzo> mellifera, well I thought so too, I added that to interfaces. I don't understand. How can I understand what I got wrong?
[21:20] <r3d0ctob3r> guntbert Yeaah it works ! But it is a variable. So if I reboot my computer... Would I to unset *_proxy variable everytime ?
[21:21] <mellifera> lorenzo: reboot, then see what dmesg says you've got for net interfaces
[21:21] <motherbrain> is their any free finger print scanning software and retina/iris scanning software that I can apt-get for ubuntu and other linux distro's?
[21:22] <lorenzo> mellifera, ok I will
[21:22] <guntbert> r3d0ctob3r: the variable is probaly set in either /etc/bashrc  or /etc/profile  or ~/.bashrc
[21:22] <Sid0035> any one notice that the pygame deb is not working in ubuntu support center?
[21:23] <r3d0ctob3r> ok, try to find it
[21:23] <ActionParsnip> motherbrain: may help https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/ubuntu-help/session-fingerprint.html
[21:23] <Sid0035> i really need it to lol
[21:23] <ActionParsnip> !info pygame
[21:23] <grubbyone_> I'm trying to zero out my intel 320 ssd, using dd and /dev/zero, it's writing at 25MB/sec, is there any way to do it faster?
[21:23] <motherbrain> thanks anything for the other biometric devices such as eye or face out their
[21:24] <Slart> !info python-pygame
[21:24] <mellifera> grubbyone_: you could try "bs=1m"
[21:24] <Slart> Sid0035: I'm assuming that was the one you meant?
[21:24] <ActionParsnip> grubbyone_: add the option:   bs=2048
[21:24] <r3d0ctob3r> guntbert noo, it is not. :-
[21:24] <r3d0ctob3r> :-(
[21:24] <xj88> Hello all, and thanks to everyone who hangs out here, helping. I'm having some issues with a new install of 11.10. It installs without problem, but upon logging in, all I get is the desktop image and a cursor. Nothing else loads. I CTRL+ALT+F2'd my way into a terminal and upgraded all packages, so I should be completely up to date. Going into "Ubuntu 2D" works but isn't what I need. Any thoughts?
[21:25] <Sid0035> i have my scrip done at least lol but now i need the program i have the python 3.x stuff
[21:25] <Slart> Sid0035: and it seems to be "working" on my system.. whatever "working" is supposed to mean
[21:25] <lorenzo> mellifera, pastebin.com/PQY7en5Y - I cant see eth1
[21:25] <grubbyone_> 31 MB/sec :/
[21:25] <ActionParsnip> xj88: what video chip do you use?
[21:25] <grubbyone_> I thought these SSDs were supposed to be blazing fast
[21:26] <xj88> ActionParsnip: Looks like it's an Intel GMA 950 graphics processor.
[21:26] <ActionParsnip> xj88: get fully updated in ubnity2D, may help
[21:27] <xj88> ActionParsnip: Tried that first. =)
[21:27] <landau> hello...anyone tried to build alsa 1.0.25 in ubuntu 11.10?
[21:28] <tdelam> hello, does anyone know of a good snooping program to watch ssh users? I need to configure some stuff remotely but I want to teach some people by allwing them to snoop
[21:29] <guntbert> r3d0ctob3r: grep -R proxy ~
[21:29] <Culiforge> Still trying to determine why 10.04 is failing to boot after bootsplash.. been chasing plymouth but I don't think it's even getting that far
[21:29] <mellifera> grubbyone_: which "bs= " did you use?
[21:29] <grubbyone_> 2048
[21:29] <guntbert> r3d0ctob3r: should list all files under your home with the word proxy in them
[21:29] <r3d0ctob3r> Curiosity, ~ is for what ?
[21:30] <r3d0ctob3r> ah ok
[21:30] <mellifera> grubbyone_: try "bs=1M"
[21:30] <rebe> Any way to bookmark directory in terminal ?
[21:30] <landau> noone tried alsa 1.0.25?
[21:30] <r3d0ctob3r> guntbert WAW, there are lots of ! :o

[21:31] <mellifera> grubbyone_: see
[21:31] <grubbyone_> and dropping
[21:31] <grubbyone_> good stuff though
[21:32] <mellifera> lorenzo: you need to configure your atheros wifi as an eth1. I'd love to help you further, but I don't have a wifi to experiment with
[21:34] <nach8> hello
[21:35] <grubbyone> ok, lets say I zero out the entire drive, then install ubuntu server, then make a compressed dd image of the drive, how big will the image be? is there anything else I can do to make it smaller?
[21:37] <ikonia> grubbyone: the image will be the size of the drive, you can compress it after you've made it
[21:37] <lorenzo> mellifera, ok. Thank you very much for your help. Can you direct me to a guide/howto maybe? The guide I was using does not mention that
[21:37] <grubbyone> right, I'm trying to eliminate random data from the drive so the compressed image can be as small as possible
[21:38] <grubbyone> is this the best method?
[21:38] <ikonia> grubbyone: not going to happen with dd
[21:38] <ikonia> grubbyone: dd is block for block copy - white space or datsa
[21:38] <ikonia> data
[21:38] <grubbyone> right, I'm making an image of the drive, where all the unused space should be zeros
[21:38] <grubbyone> am I missing something?
[21:38] <ikonia> grubbyone: dd will copy the zeros - zeros is data,
[21:39] <r3d0ctob3r> guntbert Ok no, nothing... :/
[21:39] <grubbyone> right, but when compressed, it should be inconsequential
[21:39] <gaelle_> hello, i just upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10. Sadly i lost my wireless connection after the upgrade. Any pointers on how to make wireless networks work again? (im using cable now)
[21:39] <r3d0ctob3r> guntbert I reconnect, I go on my no-root session
[21:39] <ikonia> grubbyone: you can compress it post creating the image, it will still be a big image
[21:39] <grubbyone> so what should I do differently to get the smallest image size possible?
[21:39] <ikonia> grubbyone: nothing, you won't with dd
[21:40] <ikonia> grubbyone: dd is block for block copy, nothing will change that
[21:40] <grubbyone> ok
[21:40] <grubbyone> so what should I do differently
[21:40] <grubbyone> I'm open
[21:40] <grubbyone> to anything
[21:40] <ikonia> grubbyone: not using dd would be a method, however I don't believe in the "image" tools for linux
[21:40] <r3d0ctob3r> right back
[21:40] <grubbyone> ikonia: what to use then?
[21:40] <ratcheer> gaelle_: What is your wireless hardware?
[21:41] <grubbyone> ikonia: I want to put a full drive backup on a USB stick
[21:41] <ikonia> grubbyone: I don't make "images"
[21:41] <ikonia> grubbyone: how big is your drive ?
[21:41] <grubbyone> ikonia: 120GB
[21:41] <ikonia> grubbyone: how big is your usb ?
[21:41] <grubbyone> ikonia: 8GB
[21:41] <ikonia> grubbyone: that seems unlikly
[21:42] <rypervenche> grubbyone: What will you be using the image for?
[21:42] <grubbyone> ikonia: why would 3 gigs of data+ 117GB of zeroes be more than 5GB compressed?
[21:42] <ikonia> grubbyone: because zeros is still data
[21:42] <ikonia> grubbyone: if you believe it will work, do it
[21:42] <yellowlantern> what's the best way to add a simple script to startup (Ubuntu 10.04 and up) that just generates HOST SSH keys if they don't exists. It's not a service, just a script. Thank you.
[21:42] <grubbyone> ikonia: I'm just looking for a solution
[21:43] <ikonia> grubbyone: you have found one, you think it will work, do it
[21:43] <rypervenche> yellowlantern: Make a script, throw it somewhere like /usr/local/bin/ then add the script to your startup programs.
[21:43] <gaelle_> ratcheer: i'm not sure, i have to find the detailed specs of my laptop
[21:43] <alberto> ciao
[21:44] <yellowlantern> rypervenche that's the part I don't know, what's the right way to add it to startup? is it update-rc.d or by using insserv?
[21:44] <rypervenche> yellowlantern: What desktop environment are you using?
[21:44] <rypervenche> yellowlantern: or even better, what version of Ubuntu are you using?
[21:45] <yellowlantern> rypervenche I'm making a couple of Xen templates, from 9.10 all the way to 11.10
[21:46] <ratcheer> gaelle_: See if it shows up in the output of "sudo lspci -v"
[21:46] <yellowlantern> rypervenche the thing about Xen templates and Ubuntu is that on a fresh install I want Ubuntu to generate Host SSH keys, so each user that runs a VM gets a different key
[21:46] <gaelle_> ratcheer: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 5100 AGN
[21:47] <rypervenche> yellowlantern: Ahh, I only know of the GUI method for a system already installed.
[21:47] <ratcheer> gaelle_: Does that same output show a "kernel module in use"?
[21:47] <SolarNRT> Hi guys, I'm sick of itunes and apple. I would like to install ubuntu onto my ipod nano 3rd generation. Do any of you have any idea how I might do this? There isn't exactly a CD drive on it?
[21:48] <gaelle_> ratcheer: only this: "Kernel modules: iwlagn"
[21:48] <gaelle_> ratcheer: nothing about "in use" (other components have this line)
[21:48] <auronandace> !rockbox | SolarNRT
[21:48] <SenorWombat> SolarNRT  - Second the rockbox recommendation.
[21:49] <hex20dec> Does rockbox support sansa? by Sandisk?
[21:49] <ratcheer> gaelle_: Ok, I don't know much about that card, but you can try "sudo modprobe iwlagn". That might bring it up.
[21:49] <SolarNRT> I've tried rockbox, it doesn't support ipod 3g nano. I'm going down the ubuntu path.
[21:49] <hex20dec> It does, thanks a lot guys.
[21:49] <Sid0035> so is dose any one know where i can get an alt down load for pygame since it seems not to work in the software center, also i have the right settings to since it is univers
[21:50] <Sid0035> universe*
[21:50] <gaelle_> ratcheer: interesting, now i get this: "FATAL: Error inserting iwlagn (/lib/modules/3.0.0-15-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwlagn.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)" perhaps this will help me further
[21:51] <ratcheer> gaelle_: Yes, that shows what is going wrong. As I said, I don't know much about that one, but at least you can explain to others what is happening. And search on Google, too. Good luck.
[21:52] <gaelle_> ratcheer: its ok, i think i'm on the right track thanks to you now :)
[21:52] <Sid0035> cus right now i just have a basic make of it it said that i need like 4 other dependences
[21:53] <Sid0035> that's why i tryed to get it from the software center so i could get all the dependencys also
[21:55] <SolarNRT> Is it impossible to install ubuntu onto an ipod?
[21:57] <Slart> SolarNRT: impossible is a strong word.. I wouldn't spend to much time trying though.. I'm not even sure what kind of hardware an ipod has
[21:57] <Slart> SolarNRT: this seems more... suitable... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPodLinux
[21:58] <gaelle_> ratcheer: The wifi now loads and shows up in network manager :) just having a problem that the actual connection does not work, but perhaps its just some corrupted network passwords that have been stored
[21:59] <ratcheer> gaelle_: Good. What did you do to get it lo load?
[21:59] <borjj> prueba
[21:59] <amaurea> How do I enable dead keys in ubuntu? After an upgrade, my dead keys suddenly don't work
[22:00] <auronandace> amaurea: it's worse than that, it's dead jim
[22:00] <gaelle_> ratcheer: ages ago i made a custom options file for that driver in the modprobe.d directory. this file now became incompatible and i totaly forgot about it
[22:01] <urlin2u> amaurea, what release and desktop?
[22:01] <akem> hey, is it possible to fix the tearing/vsync issue with compiz on Ubuntu 11.04 ?
[22:02] <samfourai> m
[22:02] <amaurea> urlin2u: 11.10 using gnome-fallback
[22:02] <indystorm> question for you guys- I have setup a samba server. I was wondering if I have a 3tb drive, will I be able to see all of the contents of that drive from a windows XP machine, or am I still limited to the 2tb limitation of Windows?
[22:03] <urlin2u> amaurea, cool that will help you get help, not really an area I'm familiar with. :D
[22:03] <amaurea> urlin2u: The problem does not happen in the console, only in X
[22:03] <wll> i really need some help guys, i accidentally erase an external hd by trying to format a flash drive
[22:03] <wll> what can i do to recover
[22:03] <wll> its my life in there
[22:03] <Slart> wll: there are a few tools.. photorec and testdisk comes to mind
[22:03] <Slart> !recover
[22:04] <auronandace> !undelete | wll
[22:04] <urlin2u> wll, take a look here and be careful. http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk
[22:04] <wll> yes undelete
[22:05] <Estragon> hi
[22:05] <wll> im looking into extundelete but i can get it to work
[22:05] <Estragon> I have multiple issues on my server due to no more disk space
[22:05] <phibxr> Estragon, delete some files?
[22:06] <Estragon> phibxr: yep but I would like to have a "better" partitionning
[22:06] <indystorm> question for you guys- I have setup a samba server. I was wondering if I have a 3tb drive, will I be able to see all of the contents of that drive from a windows XP machine, or am I still limited to the 2tb limitation of Windows?
[22:06] <Estragon> loook : http://pastebin.com/ivBvRkT1
[22:06] <Estragon> I believe Im doing something wrong here
[22:06] <james> hi
[22:06] <urlin2u> wll, was it a t ext type partition?
[22:07] <wll> oh and the hd was formated as ext4
[22:07] <Slart> indystorm: I'm not sure but my guess is that you will be able to access as much data as the host system can access.. ie XP's 2TB limit won't apply in this situation
[22:07] <gh0strider> hey...has anyoe here successfully added the exploit-db to their ubuntu box...i would like to do it with svn but all of the addresses i try get "connection refused" so i was hoping that someone here knew how to do it...?
[22:07] <wll> eurlin2u, xt4
[22:07] <auronandace> Estragon: looks like you need a bigger root partition
[22:07] <wll> ext4
[22:08] <urlin2u> wll, that app looks to be for files not a whole partition so read carefuly.
[22:08] <guntbert> Estragon: start investigating with   sudo du -sh /*
[22:09] <Estragon> auronandace: yep I believe too, is there a simple way to do this ?
[22:09] <wll> urlin2u, any advice?
[22:09] <wll> any app?
[22:09] <Tannn3r> I turned on my computer and selected Ubuntu from the boot menu, and it loads just fine. But, when I move the mouse or try to login, I get a black screen saying "could not write bytes: Broken pipe"
[22:10] <auronandace> Estragon: resize them using a livecd, you aren't even using half of your /home partition, so i'd shrink that
[22:10] <Estragon> auronandace: its on a remote server
[22:10] <Tannn3r> I am dual booting with Windows 7 and I have been using Ubuntu 11.10 since it came out.
[22:11] <urlin2u> wll, never had to do this if you removed the whole partition testdisk is designed to find that partition, and other uses, as far as I know just building a partition can destroy more recovery.
[22:11] <auronandace> Estragon: i have no experience with servers, but you could try fdisk or parted over a ssh session?
[22:11] <MoDDD> hi all
[22:11] <Estragon> additionnaly, if there is a temporary solution (some files to delete) it would be great too
[22:12] <mercutio2> hi, i've been trying to find out about the remote execution vulnerability in php, and whether ubuntu is vulnerable
[22:12] <mercutio2> can't seem to find anything saying that it is, or is not..
[22:12] <zykotick9> Estragon: you might want to check "du -h /var/cache/apt/archives" its downloaded updates (not really required)
[22:12] <mercutio2> anyone have any idea where to look?
[22:12] <suse_guy> What terminal command can I use to find out about all mounted disks and find out if it's /dev/sdb or /dev/sdc or whatever?
[22:12] <auronandace> Estragon: only if you know what's in / and what you can afford to get rid of (older kernels is a safe bet)
[22:13] <zykotick9> suse_guy: "mount" will list what is currently mounted
[22:13] <Slart> suse_guy: cat /etc/mtab   or sudo blkid
[22:13] <Estragon> zykotick9: seems a really good idea, can I delete files in there without risk ?
[22:13] <MoDDD> suse_guy, type mount
[22:13] <suse_guy> Thanks, guys
[22:13] <zykotick9> Estragon: sure, "sudo apt-get clean" should look after it
[22:13] <Tannn3r> Does anyone know what I can do? (posted above)
[22:14] <Estragon> zykotick9: yep, just freed 81Mo :)
[22:14] <urlin2u> Tannn3r, with a google search of that error message I see bugs filed take a look if you can
[22:15] <mongy> Estragon, i tend to put apt-get clean in /etc/rc.local also
[22:15] <mercutio2> mongy: why?
[22:15] <mongy> mercutio2, I dont want to hold debs forever, or at reboot.
[22:15] <mercutio2> i find i use autoclean more than clean
[22:15] <mercutio2> mongy: then make /var/apt/archives on a tmpfs filesystem?
[22:16] <mercutio2> err /var/cache/apt/archives
[22:16] <mongy> mercutio2, have apt-get use my ram when installing?  nah, I'll just have it clean it every boot.   just as simple
[22:16] <MoDDD> mercutio2, have you try with apt-get autoremove?
[22:16] <mercutio2> i dunno hard-disk space is cheap these days
[22:16] <mercutio2> i use apt-get autoclean occassionally..
[22:17] <ActionParsnip> mongy: could run:  sudo apt-get autoclean    and it will clean itself after install.
[22:17] <mercutio2> the problem i find is occasionally you want to retreat to the version of a package that was working
[22:17]  * ActionParsnip has browser cache in tempfs, makes web browser a bit faster
[22:17] <mercutio2> but then i follow unstable branch sometimes
[22:17] <mercutio2> so sometimes the package gets updated and removed from the repository
[22:17] <mongy> ActionParsnip, ugh.. I did not know it did that..
[22:18] <mercutio2> action: ahh i used to do that...
[22:18] <mercutio2> it only really matters for hard-disk, for ssd it's no big diff
[22:18] <mercutio2> what i really want for browser cache is huge read ahead
[22:19] <mercutio2> cos on sata hard-disks seek times are terrible
[22:19] <guntbert> !enter | mercutio2
[22:19] <ActionParsnip> mercutio2: ram also gets used for disk cache which helps browsers too
[22:20] <ActionParsnip> mercutio2: running a local DNS helps things too
[22:20] <orville> hey, i'm using 10.04 lts to run a server and i've installed piwik on it. i need hits to populate my database a smidge, so if you feel like it. click please! http://newlifechapel.thebennettproject.com/media.php
[22:20] <mercutio2> tbh.. on raid 10 on sata disks at work i haven't bothered to try and seperate cache and it's been fine
[22:20] <mercutio2> action: have you seen dnsmasq's --all-servers option?
[22:20] <ActionParsnip> as well as adding this to /etc/sysctl.conf       http://paste.ubuntu.com/828152/
[22:21] <mercutio2> dnsmasq sems a little slow.  but it's got this cool thing where it can query multiple dns servers at once and return fastest result.
[22:21] <orville> i'm also testing streaming media, so if the play buttons don't work _feel_ free to tell me. (should work on mobile too, android >= 2.3 required.)
[22:21] <mercutio2> i just use a proxy server that goes to somewhere with fast dns though
[22:21] <ActionParsnip> mercutio2: I use dnsmasq as a local dns cache on all systems I install
[22:21] <guntbert> orville: don't advertise/solicit  here please
[22:21] <mercutio2> action: in /etc/default/dnsmasq there's an opiotns thing
[22:21] <mercutio2> DNSMASQ_OPTS="--all-servers"
[22:22] <mercutio2> run namebench with / without
[22:22] <mercutio2> assuming you have multipe /etc/resolv.conf entries with good name servers
[22:22] <mercutio2> like your isp dns server, a public one
[22:22] <mercutio2> and maybe something else
[22:23] <mercutio2> i tend to use <IP_ADDRESS> ... google's dns.. plus isp..
[22:23] <wll> i was using "startup disk  creator" and in the middle of the process i realize that it was my external hd i shut it down, so now it saying the hd is a fat and the files are corrupted
[22:23] <wll> help please
[22:23] <guntbert> !enter > mercutio2
[22:23] <ActionParsnip> mercutio2: yeah ive done name bench,very worth it
[22:23] <wll> the hd is a ext4
[22:23] <ActionParsnip> wll: restore from backup
[22:24] <Tannn3r> urlin2u: Thanks. Unfortunately I have to reinstall but that should be too bad because I backed up recently and I have the disk right in front of me.
 ?
[22:24] <mercutio2> gunt: there are more new lines frmo people coming and leaving?
[22:24] <orville> guntbert: that counts as soliciting?
[22:24] <grubbyone> wll: translation, you're boned
[22:24] <ActionParsnip> wll: I can't phrase it any clearer....
[22:24] <guntbert> mercutio2: you can tell your client to ignore them
[22:25] <grubbyone> wll: depending on what you had on there you can try to use some data recovery software
[22:25] <mercutio2> action" i find having google in addition really seems to help my long distance uncached results.  like for instance undeadly.org which is in the uk and has short tl
[22:25] <guntbert> orville: this is a channel for technical support only
[22:25] <wll> i tried testdisk with no success
[22:26] <ubukou> is there a test that i can run to see the reason why compiz isnt running ?
[22:26] <grubbyone> wll: try photorec
[22:26] <Slart> ubukou: there used to be a compiz testing script.. not sure if it's still updated though
[22:27] <Slart> ubukou: here.. give it a try http://forlong.blogage.de/entries/2008/4/28/Introducing-Compiz-Check--a-script-to-test-and-troubleshoot-your-Compiz-install
[22:27] <grubbyone> oh I guess that's what testdisk is
[22:27] <ubukou> Slart, i believe i runed that ... all was good...
[22:28] <ubukou> Slart, it starts. but it is VERY laggy
[22:28] <Slart> ubukou: that's the only one I've ever seen
[22:28] <ubukou> Slart, a benchmarks would give me anything to work with ?
[22:29] <Slart> ubukou: do you have ccsm installed?
[22:29] <Slart> !ccsm | ubukou
[22:30] <moes> How to start Hal-deamon
[22:30] <macmartine> Anyone know how to change the linux user that a site is created with in ISPConfig?
[22:30] <ubukou> Slart, that was good.. i have that . but ill head to #compiz
[22:30] <ubukou> Slart, thanks
[22:30] <Slart> ubukou: or wait a sec. I seem to remember seeing some kind of benchmark in those settings.. but I can't find it now.
[22:30] <orville> guntbert: ok, allow me to rephrase. is streaming from http://newlifechapel.thebennettproject.com/media.php working when you click on a link? if not, let me know your browser.
[22:31] <Slart> ubukou: do that.. good luck
[22:31] <Oer> moes,  Ubuntu version 10.04 removed HAL from the basic system
[22:31] <moes> Oer, K3b wants me to start it
[22:31] <Wonski> Hi guys
[22:32] <ratcheer> gaelle__: Sorry, I've been away for a few minutes. Yeah, you have to keep up with fixes like that.
[22:32] <ubukou> Slart, running ati or nvidia ?
[22:32] <guntbert> orville: this channel is for ubuntu technical support, your request has nothing to do with ubuntu, so please stop that - I have nothing to allow/disallow btw :)
[22:32] <Wonski> Is it normal that if i want to instal sth i cant write nothing in the password blank?? Ubuntu 10.04?
[22:32] <Slart> ubukou: nvidia
[22:33] <daviddoria> If I do not have a ~/.bash_profile or a ~/.bash_login, and .profile is not being run when I open a terminal, what else could be wrong?
[22:33] <ubukou> Slart, figures :)
[22:33] <Slart> Wonski: how are you installing? command line? synaptic? the gui thing?
[22:34] <orville> guntbert: ah. so the channel is for ubuntu issues, not issues with the software installed on ubuntu?
[22:34] <tiox> Is there a way I could set up print settings on one machine, then transfer them onto another?
[22:34] <nichlas> does anyone know of an ftp client for linux that uses curses/ncurses?
[22:34] <Slart> !ftp
[22:34] <tiox> I ask, because I have a laptop with a broken screen, and I would prefer it if I could use a functioning one so I don't have to take over the only HDMI TV in my house.
[22:35] <nichlas> Slart: thanks for nothing ;-)
[22:35] <zykotick9> nichlas: lftp is cli?
[22:35] <xj88> Hello all, and thanks to everyone who hangs out here, helping. I'm having some issues with a new install of 11.10. It installs without problem, but upon logging in, all I get is the desktop image and a cursor. Nothing else loads. I used "Ubuntu 2D" to make sure that I'm fully updated. My graphics processor is an Intel GMA 950. Any thoughts?
[22:35] <nichlas> not looking for cli, looking for curses.
[22:36] <Slart> nichlas: you're welcome.. <--- see how I put your name in the line when I'm talking to you.. if your name isn't there I'm probably not addressing you =)
[22:36] <guntbert> orville: principally yes, not everything running under ubuntu can be supported here (you wouldn't expect your car manufacturer to support your phone which you connect to the radio in your car, would you?)
[22:36] <zykotick9> nichlas: actually lftp is ncurses ;)  or it depends on it anyway
[22:38] <orville> guntbert: course not. but if i suspect the phone is working because of the charger I bought from him then I'd try to find out if that was the issue.
[22:38] <orville> *phone isn't*
[22:38] <nichlas> zykotick9: other than depends, i haven't found any mentions of lftp actually using curses
[22:39] <zykotick9> nichlas: ya, i was just testing - it doesn't seem very ncurses to me either - sorry
[22:39] <guntbert> orville: I don't want to argue further but nothing in your statement gave any reference to ubuntu
[22:39] <GBGames> I had 10.04 LTS installed on my laptop which was dying, so I got a new laptop and installed 11.10 on it.
[22:39] <GBGames> And Ubuntu is really, really different now.
[22:40] <nichlas> zykotick9: *sigh* until now the only other posibilities than midnight commander and some kind of fuse hack..
[22:40] <phibxr> GBGames, you've got about two years of development separating the versions. :P
[22:41] <zykotick9> nichlas: irssi/identicurses/links2 are curse stuff i use
[22:41] <ActionParsnip> GBGames: Just gnome, the ither DEs are largely the same
[22:42] <orville> guntbert: nothing? not even "hey, i'm using 10.04 lts to run a server and i've installed piwik on it. "?
[22:42] <GBGames> phibxr: Yeah, I realized. I also just got a smartphone to replace a really, really old flip phone, so I feel like I've jumped into the future. B-)
[22:43] <ActionParsnip> GBGames: if you want it to look and feel like Lucid, install xfce4 and use that DE
[22:44] <phibxr> GBGames, welcome. :D
[22:44] <MonkeyDust> xubuntu is nice, i'm planning to use it as default
[22:44] <GBGames> ActionParsnip: Ok, I'll look into it. I guess I feel like I have to use the mouse a lot more.
[22:44] <ActionParsnip> Lubuntu here :)
[22:46] <ratcheer> MonkeyDust: I love the Xubuntu desktop, but I stayed with Ubuntu for the apps.
[22:47] <GBGames> Ok, I figured out how to add Terminal to the launcher.
[22:47] <xj88> Hello all, and thanks to everyone who hangs out here, helping. I'm having some issues with a new install of 11.10. It installs without problem, but upon logging in, all I get is the desktop image and a cursor. Nothing else loads. I used "Ubuntu 2D" to make sure that I'm fully updated. My graphics processor is an Intel GMA 950 which ought to be supported. Any thoughts? (If this is becoming spam just let me know and I'll knock it off for a while).
[22:48] <osmosis> is there a guide on howto make the icon dock in unity not suck?
[22:48] <Slart> xj88: one thing you could check is the file /var/log/Xorg.0.log .. it has information about what graphics drivers it's using, resolutions and such.. if you use pastebin perhaps someone in the channel will find something
[22:49] <Slart> xj88: if that file doesn't contain anything useful you can also check the syslog in /var/log/syslog for errors or other information
[22:49] <mellifera> I think there's a guide for switching to xubuntu/xfce. that would be one way to stop unity from being annoying
[22:49] <urlin2u> osmosis, yeah install gnome 3.
[22:49] <osmosis> urlin2u, ok
[22:49] <kpas_> .I am not up on the jargon of but when some referernce paste/bin are they referrring to use paste.ubuntu.com
[22:50] <xj88> Slart: Thanks so much for the suggestion. I'll get on that.
[22:50] <osmosis> urlin2u, what about xmonads?
[22:50] <ActionParsnip> urlin2u: Ubuntu 11.10 uses Gnome3 by default...its already installed
[22:50] <urlin2u> osmosis, there is also kubuntu, lubuntu, and xubuntu, and other desktops if unity is afrustration.
[22:51] <urlin2u> ActionParsnip, cool baby. :D
[22:51] <overclucker> just swapping out the window manager is probably enough
[22:51] <osmosis> urlin2u, are they easy to try out from my existing install?
[22:52] <ratcheer> osmosis: Just click the gear on your login screen. It will give you several choices. Gnome is gnome-shell, Ubuntu is Unity.
[22:52] <rebe> how do I change terminal to show ":~" when I'm in home instead of "myname@mycomp:~"
[22:53] <urlin2u> osmosis, they all add dektops so there is cross over, I would download the iso's and test that way, if you like one you can install then and remove unity or just leave it depending on what the crossover apps.
[22:53] <ratcheer> rebe: It is an environment variable, PS1
[22:53] <overclucker> rebe: lookup bashrc PS1
[22:53] <ActionParsnip> rebe: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-linux-unix-bash-shell-setup-prompt.html
[22:53] <osmosis> ok, thx
[22:54] <urlin2u> osmosis, installing multiple dektops like I have mentioned and cleaning up is a bit of a task, just a heads up.
[22:54] <osmosis> figured
[22:54] <testt> hi how to set username,password in ftpd that runs through busybox?
[22:54] <ActionParsnip> osmosis: I'd try a few, then decide and reinstall with the buntu with the DE you prefer
[22:55] <hiexpo> got a problem here with firefox > a couple days ago i enabled backports to try out firefox 10 and realized it had issues so i removed it and reverted back to 9 well i did and upgrade today and it installed ff 10 again so i checked my software sources and it is normal so i removed ff 10 but it will not revert back in synaptic
[22:55] <testt> busybox comes with ubuntu but i havent been able to make ftpd work
[22:55] <acerimmer> osmosis: or you could do a virtual box and try them all out without risking your primary buntu
[22:55] <urlin2u> hiexpo, FF 10 is released now and in the repos.
[22:56] <hiexpo> urlin2u, erg it just keepscrashing
[22:56] <urlin2u> hiexpo, is FF 9 still in synaptic, if you have synaptic installed?
[22:56] <hiexpo> urlin2u, no its gone
[22:57] <ActionParsnip> hiexpo: try renaming your firefoxprofilefolder and using a vanilla profile, see if its better
[22:57] <Nach0z> urlin2u: didn't realize you were in here too. lol.
[22:57] <urlin2u> Nach0z, this is where I am usually.
[22:57] <hiexpo> ActionParsnip, how do i do that ?
[22:58] <ActionParsnip> hiexpo: mv ~/.mozilla/firefox ~/.mozilla/firefox_old
[22:58] <tiox> Whenever I access the Gnome print settings manager, I get a segfault.
[22:59] <tiox> I really don't want to reinstall 11.10, so is there a quick and easy fix for this? I already deleted my .cups file in ~.
[22:59] <tiox> .cups folder*
[22:59] <hiexpo> ActionParsnip, ok did that do i need firefox to be installed
[23:00] <tiox> Not the folder from /etc, easily confuseable and would be cause for alarm...
[23:00] <mellifera> tiox: at what point does the print manager segfault?
[23:01] <macmartine> I'm getting 403 Forbidden, yet my nginx.conf has 'user  www-data;' and the files are all owned by www-data with -rw-r--r--. Any idea why?
[23:01] <ActionParsnip> hiexpo: no, just run it and you will get a vanilla profile
[23:02] <macmartine> (sorry, wrong room)
[23:03] <mellifera> tiox: at what point does the print settings manager segfault?
[23:04] <meerkats> on unity, the search bar doesnt return applications, how do I look for apps if I cant do that?
[23:04] <meerkats> it returns files
[23:05] <meerkats> dash home
[23:05] <tiox> mellifera: On load.
[23:05] <tiox> I go to printers, it fails. Failed since adfter I tried setting up an HP ePrint printer with it.
[23:05] <mellifera> tiox: have you ever checked your memory?
[23:06] <tiox> Normally I do hp-setup. But doing it just through Gnome made it fail hard.
[23:06] <tiox> I have memory, yeah!
[23:06] <tiox> Swap is on too.
[23:06] <hiexpo> ActionParsnip, how do i know if iam running the vanilla profile ?
[23:06] <ActionParsnip> tiox: try:  http://localhost:631
[23:06] <tiox> Don't see how opening print settings should suck my memory dry.
[23:06] <mellifera> I don't mean whether you have memory, I mean have you checked it for hardware errors?
[23:06] <ActionParsnip> hiexpo: everything will be default with no favourites or settings
[23:06] <tiox> Nope.
[23:06] <hiexpo> ok
[23:06] <tiox> Are you saying I should run memtest on it?
[23:07] <mellifera> tiox: wouldn't hurt
[23:07] <tiox> And yeah, takes me to CUPS
[23:07] <ActionParsnip> tiox: you can add printers there too
[23:07] <ActionParsnip> old school
[23:07] <meerkats> on unity's dash home, the search bar doesnt return applications, how do I look for apps if I cant do that?
[23:07] <tiox> I did. That's what's causing the segfault in the first place.
[23:08] <tiox> meerkats: The cheap out would be to install SYnapse.
[23:08] <tiox> But Synapse is just another applicatino search and internet search util.
[23:08] <tiox> application*
[23:08] <mellifera> tiox: if trying to install an HP eprinter started this, there might be something horriblly wrong in the configuration file
[23:08] <meerkats> tiox, software sources? any idea why unity's default searcher fails?
[23:09] <tiox> Don't know, sad to say.
[23:09] <urlin2u> !tab > tiox
[23:09] <tiox> mellifera: I can delete that and have it respawn fresh right?
[23:09] <ActionParsnip> hiexpo: is it more stable?
[23:09] <mellifera> tiox: maybe it will regerate. but to be safe, just rename the file
[23:10] <tiox> What's the file I need to pitch?
[23:10] <hiexpo> ok
[23:10] <DoctorPepper> hi guys !!!
[23:10] <tiox> Heck, might be the one I could replace too. On my USB drive with Ubuntu I configured the printer as I always had.
[23:10] <ActionParsnip> hiexpo: a correct reply would be 'yes' or 'no'    replying 'ok
[23:10] <ActionParsnip> makes no sense
[23:10] <hiexpo> ActionParsnip, ok but i lost my bookmarks from today can i retrieve them
[23:10] <tiox> Mostly because my parents were about to use the laptop to watch stuff on and... yeah, only one TV with HDMI.
[23:11] <ActionParsnip> hiexpo: yes there is bookmarks.html which holds the bookmarks
[23:11] <tiox> SO I am kind of inconvenienced.
[23:11] <mellifera> tiox: I'm looking. the file name might take a while
[23:11] <DoctorPepper> can anyone please help  me  i have trouble using vaapi  on ubuntu 11.10.  when running vainfo  i get  libva: Trying to open /usr/lib/dri/i965_drv_video.so
[23:11] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip: newer firefoxes don't appear to be using that bookmarks.html anymore :(
[23:12] <tiox> Oh take your time!
[23:12] <tiox> Better done right than done rushed.
[23:12] <ActionParsnip> zykotick9: didn't know. I hate and do not use firefox
[23:12] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip: ya, I've dropped it as well
[23:13] <SoulShadow> too bad chrome sucks
[23:13] <ActionParsnip> SoulShadow: chromium rocks, as does Arora
[23:13] <SoulShadow> i only use firefox :)
[23:14] <ActionParsnip> firefox takes to long to do anything at all
[23:14] <Xenobyte> I use them both but prefer firefox
[23:15] <Xenobyte> a little
[23:15] <Worre> Is there any way to change partition's type without data loss?
[23:15] <ikonia> Worre: what do you mean change the type ?
[23:15] <SoulShadow> chrome uses too much ram
[23:15] <SoulShadow> i think he means ext3->4
[23:16] <Worre> ie. ntfs to ext3
[23:16] <Xenobyte> They both have their quirks
[23:16] <ActionParsnip> Worre: backup, format, restore data
[23:16] <ikonia> Worre: no, that's a file system type - not a partition type (just for future reference)
[23:16] <Worre> oh
[23:16] <Worre> somehow i messed them together
[23:16] <ActionParsnip> SoulShadow: I have ram to spare, so I'd rather it use that than chew the cpu like a fat kid at a free pie stall
[23:16] <SoulShadow> ActionParsnip?
[23:17] <SoulShadow> firefox uses no cpu here
[23:17] <ikonia> Worre: it's not a problem, you'll just get better responses if you use the right terms
[23:17] <mellifera> tiox: if you're using gnome, you should find the print settings in gnome-print-manager.schemas
[23:17] <ActionParsnip> SoulShadow: Arora is light and nippy, its made to be that way
[23:17] <tiox> SO just search that up?
[23:17] <SoulShadow> ActionParsnip: maybe you should upgrade from that pentium 2
[23:17] <tiox> O wait...
[23:18] <mellifera> yes, I suppose. I don't use gnome
[23:18] <tiox> Sounds like a gconf setting.
[23:18] <hiexpo> ActionParsnip, ok yes it is much more stable thanks
[23:18]  * tiox is now somewhat confused
[23:18] <ActionParsnip> SoulShadow: dual core U2500  @ 1.20GHz (32bit)
[23:19] <ActionParsnip> hiexpo: obviously the old configs were not compatibe with the new version, happens a lot in crappy firefox
[23:19] <SoulShadow> the hell is a u2500
[23:19] <SoulShadow> oh man, core duo
[23:19] <hiexpo> ActionParsnip, yup
[23:19] <SoulShadow> is that the ULV core duo?
[23:20] <ActionParsnip> SoulShadow: Dell Latitude D420, Works great
[23:20] <mellifera> has anyone used the midori browser? is it any good?
[23:20] <ActionParsnip> mellifera: yeah its pretty sweet
[23:20] <SoulShadow> i tend to shy away from any browser that isn't a big name
[23:20] <SoulShadow> just because i don't know much about it
[23:20] <ActionParsnip> SoulShadow: sad, you may be missing out
[23:21] <ben_> Hi everyone. I have a quick question. When I'm using the software center on XFCE version of Ubuntu, it doesn't load all the way. It just shows a white screen
