[00:02] <almoxarife> blake ,  nvidia has a setting app with the install of nvidia-current package
[00:02] <xangua> scratchingmyhead: do you have libre/open office Impress¿¿
[00:02] <nadiyama> trism, yes, and the plugin is also checked.
[00:02] <bigtv> niggers
[00:02] <nadiyama> trism, the same problem occurs with emesene2, but not with other apps like TeamSpeak, Skype, and such
[00:02] <dragomir> scratch that issue with docky - just installed cairo dock and its sooo much better
[00:03] <xangua> nadiyama: unity doesn't use gnome notification are by defaul, you will have to seth a whitelist, i saw something about it on webupd8 blog
[00:03] <xangua> http://www.webupd8.org/2011/10/things-to-tweak-after-installing-ubuntu.html
[00:04] <nadiyama> xangua, I'm not using unity, but gnome-shell
[00:04] <xangua> nadiyama: you can set on emesene's preferences to use ubuntu indicator
[00:04] <xangua> nadiyama: then i can't help you, sorry
[00:05] <blake> almoxarife: Not for the backlight, only the screen brightness (Which just modifies colour brightness)
[00:08] <trism> nadiyama: seems there is a bug with java tray icons in gnome shell, https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=648773
[00:09] <Icehawk78> I've been having an issue several times now with the unity interface for nautilus not... loading, I guess? Anyone know what would cause Nautilus to look like this on 11.10?

[00:10] <marsfligth> How to close the 'sudo' lease. For instance, when finished an operation with 'sudo', the system keeps ''open'' the previous given password permit also if I start another sudo instance and keeps 'open' for 10 mins. So, how can I stop/close that 'open elevation' status? I tried with 'exit' and 'sync' unsuccesfully
[00:11] <Lasers> marsfligth: sudo -k
[00:11] <marsfligth> Lasers: Thanks
[00:11] <Lasers> marsfligth: Np
[00:12] <Icehawk78> marsfligth: Or edit the /etc/sudoers and set a timestamp_timeout=0, if you want it to never remember for a given user
[00:12] <Sorinan> Will Firefox 8 reach Oneiric repos?
[00:12] <sasori> are those things that i get from sudo apt-get update the same with the ones that pops out from the udpate manager windows ?
[00:13] <xangua> sasori: yes
[00:13] <sasori> ok thanks
[00:13] <nadiyama> trism, makes sense. Any light with emesene2? maybe bugs the same bug but with python

[00:39] <Stubkan> hello?
[00:39] <eross> ye
[00:39] <psychx-> <- Hernando County
[00:39] <eross> < even worse, polk
[00:39] <Stubkan> hi, im tryin to install ubuntu.. having some issues!
[00:39] <psychx-> haha
[00:40] <psychx-> Stubkan: What's up? Post your question, someone should be able to assist you.
[00:40] <Stubkan> im running the liveusb, is there a way to find out my video card on it
[00:40] <Stubkan> graphics info says 'unknown'
[00:40] <escott> Stubkan, lspci in the terminal will list the hardware
[00:40] <Stubkan> okay, now to find the terminal
[00:40] <trism> osmosis: the updated package is in proposed, you need to enable that in software sources (on the updates tab) before you can get the updated package
[00:41] <trism> osmosis: see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for more info
[00:43] <Stubkan> okay got it
[00:43] <psychx-> Stubkan: Are you actually in Ubuntu?
[00:43] <Stubkan> right now, running liveusb
[00:43] <psychx-> ah ok
[00:43] <Stubkan> the issue is, ive installed it on the hard drive, but when i go to boot it up .. nothing happens
[00:43] <Stubkan> the screen appears glitched
[00:43] <Stubkan> i can see something move when i move the mouse, way up on the top 2 pixel rows
[00:44] <zykotick9> Stubkan, fyi if you use "lspci | grep -i vga" it will only list your graphics card
[00:44] <Flow_> True.
[00:44] <Stubkan> ok, i found the graphics card, anyway with some squinting
[00:44] <escott> Stubkan, sounds like a bad modeline
[00:44] <escott> Stubkan, what kind of connector is there between your monitor and your computer?
[00:44] <Stubkan> ok, what is a bad modeline
[00:44] <Stubkan> ah now i understand.. yes i have a thingy in the middle
[00:45] <Stubkan> cos i have a projector and a monitor, so to make it easier i just bought a cheap thing off an asian store to plug both into the video card
[00:45] <osmosis> trigrou, wiki was confusing, but you sugesstion to enable it through the gui worked
[00:45] <osmosis> trism, thx
[00:45] <escott> Stubkan, but its an analog vga connector otherwise. i would try it without the splitter and see if it gets better
[00:45] <Stubkan> reckon i should take that off
[00:46] <Stubkan> then id have to find another way to hook the projector up .. hm
[00:46] <agu10^> hey
[00:46] <agu10^> what easy and free video editing software can i install?
[00:46] <Stubkan> the video card has a hdmi or something plug and i have another plug on that, converting it to the old vga monitor
[00:47] <Stubkan> would that be an issue
[00:48] <agu10^> Stubkan, i don't think so
[00:48] <escott> Stubkan, hdmi sends information about refresh rate and height/width back to the video card and would be preferred
[00:48] <Stubkan> okay, my monitor doesn't have it though.  will try removing the splitter now
[00:48] <Stubkan> will be back if it is still broken :)
[00:48] <Stubkan> thank you
[00:49] <escott> Stubkan, if you can determine a good modeline you can create an Xorg.conf and save the modeline to that, but its hard to get those correct so it would be easier to start without the splitter
[00:49] <Recombobulator> I am trying to set up a simple way to quickly switch between monitor setups. Could anyone help?
[00:49] <escott> agu10^, pitivi is one
[00:50] <Recombobulator> In essence, it would quickly replace the xorg.conf file, and restart the X11 server.
[00:50] <psychx-> When I run "top" in Terminal, I can obviously see all of the running processes; but it seems like there is more to the list. How do I "scroll" down to see everything?
[00:50] <escott> Recombobulator, you can create an xrandr script if all you need to do is change outputs and resolutions
[00:50] <Recombobulator> Should I simply write a shell script?
[00:50] <Recombobulator> Ok.
[00:51] <Recombobulator> There is no easy way to detect and do it quickly without manually running a script?
[00:51] <escott> Recombobulator, you can use the gui. but what is it you want "detected"
[00:51] <locutus_> join #compiz
[00:51] <urlin2u> psychx-, if you run htop the keyboard arrow keys work
[00:51] <Jordan_U> Recombobulator: If you plug in a new monitor everything should "Just Work™".
[00:52] <Recombobulator> Well, I have dual monitors.
[00:52] <Recombobulator> Dual monitors and an Nvidia graphics card.
[00:52] <Jordan_U> Recombobulator: That should also just work. What problem are you having?
[00:52] <brandon__> how do I use sfdisk to partition an unformatted drive with one partition that is as large as possible?
[00:53] <Jordan_U> brandon__: Why do you want to use sfdisk?
[00:53] <Recombobulator> And an outdated version of Ubuntu, to boot. My network drivers do not work on the latest version of Ubuntu.
[00:53] <Recombobulator> 10.10.
[00:53] <brandon__> I am using it in a script
[00:53] <Recombobulator> Alright. I need to go. Thanks!
[00:53] <Jordan_U> brandon__: What is your end goal with this script?
[00:54] <brandon__> it wipes the harddrive, then partitions it and clones an image from a clonezilla server
[00:55] <Jordan_U> brandon__: If I recall correctly clonezilla can handle partitioning as well.
[00:55] <Jordan_U> brandon__: What is your *end goal* though?
[00:56] <brandon__> I am imaging 75 computers, and I am required to destroy the data from the drives.
[01:02] <psychx-> I have a .run file that is not executing. I set it to be executable, but nothing is happening. It is actually TeamSpeak3-Client-linux_x86-3.0.1.run - Can someone help me to get this working?
[01:03] <somsip_> psychx-: how are you executinjg it?
[01:04] <Jordan_U> brandon__: If it's important that the data be destroyed first then I would use dd to copy zeroes to the entire drive first (If you're really paranoid, use a multi-pass purpose built whiping program). From there though I would be very surprised if clonezilla could not do everything else needed automatically. The main purpose of clonezilla is to automate exactly this process.
[01:06] <Jordan_U> psychx-: Teamspeak is available in the repositories.
[01:06] <Jordan_U> psychx-: sudo apt-get install teamspeak-client
[01:06] <psychx-> somsip_: Well, basically what I did was right click on the file, go to properties, and set it to be executable. Then I double click on the file (it's in my downloads folder in /home/) and it asks how I'd like to execute it. First I said in TErminal, because that's what it wanted to do anyway. That didn't work. Terminal didnt even open. Then I tried it again, and just did Execute. That didn't work either. I checked top, and didn't see it
[01:06] <psychx-> running - so I don't think it froze or anything.
[01:06] <psychx-> Jordan_U: I'm not sure that is the correct version.
[01:06] <brandon__> I'm already doing that, I need to figure out how to automaticly partition it, so I can run the restore command that it gave me after I entered the configuration mannually.
[01:06] <psychx-> Jordan_U: I downloaded Teamspeak 3 from their website, but when I look in repositories, it says 2.0.32
[01:08] <somsip_> psychx-: in a terminal 'sh TeamSpeak3...' what happens?
[01:08] <roxdragon> hi all exista a program for face recognition and auto tagging?
[01:09] <Jordan_U> somsip_: That is not the proper way to run an executable. sh is not the same as bash, and for all you know it could be a perl script or simple executable.
[01:09] <eross> roxdragon it's in android 4
[01:09] <psychx-> sh TeamSpeak3...
[01:09] <psychx-> that did nothing
[01:09] <psychx-> mike@mike-lubuntu:~$ sh TeamSpeak3...
[01:09] <psychx-> sh: Can't open TeamSpeak3...
[01:09] <roxdragon> eross, on ubuntu?
[01:10] <Jordan_U> somsip_: Though I guess in this case it is a posix shell script.
[01:10] <eross> no i meant it's being developed on the latest androids from what I heard. no idea on linux or ubuntu though
[01:11] <Jordan_U> psychx-: What is the full path to the file, including the full file name?
[01:11] <roxdragon> eross, ok , there are Google api's released?
[01:11] <zykotick9> Jordan_U, i believe TS3 might be a windows executable as well... maybe not?
[01:12] <psychx-> Jordan_U: /home/mike/Downloads/TeamSpeak3-Client-linux_x86-3.0.1.run
[01:12] <zykotick9> Jordan_U, i was wront
[01:12] <brjannc> roxdragon: I remember hearing about a few projects to add a face recognition/tagging plugin to F-Spot, but I don't know if it ever made it to the finish line
[01:12] <zykotick9> s/wront/wrong/
[01:12] <roxdragon> ok thanks...
[01:12] <somsip_> Jordan_U: First line of file:  #!/bin/sh which I wy I suggested tat approach
[01:13] <Jordan_U> psychx-: Then run "chmod +x /home/mike/Downloads/TeamSpeak3-Client-linux_x86-3.0.1.run && /home/mike/Downloads/TeamSpeak3-Client-linux_x86-3.0.1.run"
[01:13] <roxdragon> but what's name for vocal recognition? example: I: hello pc - and pc replies: hello
[01:13] <psychx-> Jordan_U: Ok, do I need sudo?
[01:14] <eross> roxdragon - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speech_recognition_in_Linux
[01:14] <Jordan_U> psychx-: No.
[01:15] <psychx-> Jordan_U: Ok, seems like it worked - thank you for the help. I might need more help in a little while, who knows. :)
[01:15] <Jordan_U> psychx-: You're welcome.
[01:16] <jigp> good morning.what to use for 1gb ram lenovo laptop?xubuntu,kubuntu?

[01:18] <rodhash> Guys.. I'm trying to remove / load the module i915 (intel video driver) but it says it's in use even with X down..
[01:18] <psychx-> Jordan_U: nvm I actually just found it
[01:18] <rodhash> and I'm not able to remove it
[01:18] <rodhash> Any suggestion?
[01:19] <escott> rodhash, rmmod the module
[01:19] <rodhash> escott, it says the module is in use
[01:19] <rodhash> as I said even with X down
[01:19] <rodhash> but running lsmod, I see nothing using it
[01:19] <escott> rodhash, probably by the framebuffer then
[01:20] <rodhash> i915                  437400  3  --> there's nothing using it..
[01:20] <arif_> ?
[01:21] <nimda_> ha
[01:23] <eross> roxdragon, check out, compile and read through the documentation. i never tried it
[01:24] <psychx-> If I have something installed, but it's not in my menus or desktop or anything - What's the best way to add it?

[01:33] <Generalcamo> How do I backup files on a GUI in ubuntu?
[01:33] <Jordan_U> !backup | Generalcamo
[01:33] <Generalcamo> On initramfs?
[01:34] <TheProf> Hello.  Seems I've screwed up all the permissions in /etc badly.  I've got /home in a different partition.  Is there a way to do an in-place reinstall of the OS and leave /home and all the users alone?
[01:35] <Generalcamo> How do I move files to an external hard drive (E:) with initramfs on Busybox
[01:36] <escott> Generalcamo, you will have to manually mount the external drive and then copy the files over.
[01:36] <TheProf> Or, is there a command that can reassign permissions to a file based on the packages it came from originally? Thank you.
[01:36] <Generalcamo> Instructions?
[01:37] <Jordan_U> Generalcamo: If you're getting stuck at an initramfs shell then there were serious problems booting and you won't be able to get a GUI until these are fixed. Do you want to try to fix this or are you just trying to back up your data? If you just want the data then it would be easiest to boot from a LiveCD/USB.
[01:37] <Generalcamo> Doing that now
[01:37] <Guest37094> Good evening, I need some help with my video drivers in Natty, can anyone help me please?
[01:38] <Generalcamo> If I could hix that, it would be better
[01:38] <lolzorz> hi
[01:38] <Generalcamo> Looks like I accidentely made all the system files read and write, on root!
[01:38] <szal> !details | Guest37094
[01:38] <Generalcamo> How do I reverse this?
[01:38] <escott> TheProf, the reinstall is the correct approach. see !clone for how to copy your packages over
[01:39] <Jordan_U> Generalcamo: How did you do this?
[01:39] <lolzorz> I've just installed latest ubuntu and I'm quite surprised to see that mouse pointer is invisible outside of Firefox
[01:39] <brjannc> TheProf: If you specify manual partitioning during the installation, you should be able to tell the installer to use your existing partition as /home, and make sure the "format" checkbox isn't checked.
[01:39] <Generalcamo> Right click, set read and write
[01:39] <Generalcamo> on root
[01:39] <Guest37094> Hold on a sec. I'm logging out and logging back in as "Orbi"
[01:39] <TheProf> !clone
[01:39] <Generalcamo> However, I was only supposed to do that on the app folder
[01:39] <Generalcamo> not on the system files!
[01:40] <Jordan_U> Generalcamo: Were you logged in as root?
[01:40] <TheProf> Woah that's complex ubottu!
[01:40] <Generalcamo> "as root" means yes
[01:40] <brjannc> TheProf: However, you'll lose some user information when you lose /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, /etc/group, and so on
[01:40] <TheProf> brjannc: if I get a live DVD is there a chance I can pull those files off?
[01:40] <tech936> anyone rember the command to add a user to sudoers?
[01:40] <Jordan_U> Generalcamo: Among other security concerns this is why you should never log in as root and why Ubuntu disables logging in as root by default.
[01:40] <newbie|2> .
[01:41] <qin> tech936: sudo adduser user_name adnim
[01:41] <tech936> thanks
[01:41] <Generalcamo> Sudo refused to change file permissions for a folder that needed changing
[01:41] <escott> tech936, add the user to the admin group with usermod -a -g admin
[01:41] <escott> tech936, sorry usermod -a -G admin
[01:41] <brjannc> TheProf: those files have lines for your specific users; a livecd wouldn't have them
[01:41] <tech936> does not exist
[01:41] <TheProf> escott: does the clone option you suggested require another identical machine?
[01:41] <tech936> runing bt 4
[01:41] <Generalcamo> Never mind
[01:41] <tech936> just created a non root account
[01:42] <Jordan_U> !backtrack | tech936
[01:42] <szal> !backtrack | tech936
[01:42] <TheProf> brjannc: sorry I meant could I use the live DVD to access those files on the original hard drive and save them?
[01:42] <escott> TheProf, no it just generates a list of programs you have installed so you can then reinstall them
[01:42] <tech936> thanks guys
[01:42] <TheProf> escott: OK I understand. that is great as I didn't have such a list when the server got hosed.
[01:43] <Generalcamo> we serve Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and Xubuntu
[01:43] <szal> Generalcamo: and Lubuntu
[01:44] <Generalcamo> ahh yes
[01:44] <brjannc> TheProf: Oh, sure. But it'll be quite a task making sure you get everything :\
[01:44] <Generalcamo> the TUI
[01:44] <szal> Generalcamo: not to forget Edubuntu ;)
[01:44] <iarp> Any apps that are installable with the livecd to check on hdd health?
[01:44] <Generalcamo> Client side, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and Xubuntu
[01:45] <Generalcamo> and Lubuntu if your that geeky
[01:45] <TheProf> brjannc: /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, /etc/group are the ones that are needed to recreate the same users? or can I export the list of users, their groups, and passwords perhaps?
[01:45] <Generalcamo> or poor
[01:45] <Jordan_U> iarp: palimpsest "Disk Utility" is on the LiveCD by default.
[01:45] <v1z_>  to regulate the white balance of a webcam (ps3eye) on ubuntu

[01:46] <psychx-> I installed Alacarte, but I can't find it. How do I find it?
[01:46] <Generalcamo> Which ubuntu?
[01:46] <brjannc> TheProf: those are the three big ones, yes; I suppose in a pinch that would do. I don't know if there's any "backup all my users" app/script, though -- let me see
[01:46] <escott> psychx-, are you running unity?
[01:46] <Generalcamo> In Unity, you can search for it
[01:47] <deeg> hello world
[01:47] <Generalcamo> by going to the task menu and typing it in
[01:47] <Jordan_U> !who | Generalcamo
[01:47] <brjannc> TheProf: oh, and /etc/gshadow
[01:47] <deeg> alguien habla español??
[01:47] <szal> !es | deeg
[01:47] <escott> !es | deeg
[01:47] <Generalcamo> I am assumint you are a dev, or PR, Jordan
[01:48] <Generalcamo> Why did you not include GNOME classic in Onieric?
[01:48] <brjannc> TheProf: I would say if you preserve /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, /etc/group, and /etc/gshadow, and /home, your users will persist.
[01:48] <lolzorz> hi, can someone help me? My mouse cursor is invisible
[01:48] <Generalcamo> Is your mouse working?
[01:48] <Generalcamo> at all?
[01:48] <brjannc> TheProf: if you give me a few minutes, though, I'm toying with a script to determine what packages need to be reinstalled based on the files that are currently in /etc
[01:48] <lolzorz> yes
[01:48] <Generalcamo> Lolzorz?
[01:48] <Generalcamo> hmm
[01:48] <FloodBot1> Generalcamo: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:49] <Generalcamo> What?
[01:49] <Jordan_U> Generalcamo: I am not an Ubuntu developer. That type of discussion should be moved to #ubuntu-offtopic as it's not directly support related.
[01:49] <brjannc> TheProf: which may or may not work, but hey, if your other alternative is reinstalling from scratch, it can't hurt to try
[01:49] <lolzorz> resize cursors also work, unlike pointer
[01:49] <Generalcamo> I thought this was a general channel?
[01:49] <brjannc> TheProf: one thing, though -- is the machine currently completely unbootable?
[01:49] <szal> Generalcamo: look at the topic; what does it say? :)
[01:49] <Jordan_U> Generalcamo: Nope. This channel is for Ubuntu support only.
[01:49] <Generalcamo> oh
[01:49] <Weems> I have installed gnome again but I don't have a system menu, and my icons are much larger than normal
[01:50] <psychx-> escott: No
[01:50] <jefimenko> i found an interesting problem. if i add the following to /etc/fstab, then unity 3d won't start after reboot: "tmpfs  /tmp  tmpfs  nodev,nosuid,noexec,mode=1777  0 0"
[01:50] <jefimenko> it's reproducible
[01:50] <jefimenko> if i remove the line, it works again
[01:50] <TheProf> brjannc: thanksyou very much for your help.  I didn't turn off the machine.
[01:50] <TheProf> I cannot run sudo
[01:50] <jefimenko> i'll file a bug if needed, but can anyone help me dig a little deeper first?
[01:51] <brjannc> TheProf: oh, bummer. and no root password?
[01:51] <g465> darz
[01:51] <TheProf> brjannc: I was working on setting up a shared folder for the teachers to collaborate on report cards and so I believe I set the permissions on ALL files to 0440
[01:52] <TheProf> so you get really interesting errors and messages when that happens.
[01:52] <brjannc> TheProf: I imagine so!
[01:52] <Weems> I have installed gnome again but I don't have a system menu, and my icons are much larger than normal
[01:52] <g465> how ti install compiz some error on daemon
[01:52] <rhinux1> Hi! I use Ubuntu 11.10 amd64, installed skype and used it. but after installing some libs skype doenst want to start any more, err msg "bash: /usr/bin/skype: File or Directory not found" even skype is in that dir. an ld /ust/bin/skype tells me " i386 architecture of input file `skype' is incompatible with i386:x86-64 output"
[01:52] <FJAA-1983> Greetings! I'm having a problem with the FGLRX package. My video suddenly failed and now the FGLRX package fails to install. http://pastebin.com/TmLiJNy0
[01:52] <Generalcamo> Live CD mode is not starting up, it is just stuck on a loading cursor, for the past 7 minutes!
[01:52] <brjannc> brjannc: Hmm, okay, have to rethink this. So the machine is on, and you're logged in as an unprivileged user, and cannot sudo, correct?
[01:53] <szal> rhinux1: define 'some libs'
[01:53] <brjannc> TheProf: oops, that last was to you -- not talking to myself...
[01:53] <TheProf> brjannc: correct.
[01:53] <Jordan_U> rhinux1: It sounds like you're trying to use a 32 bit version of skype but don't have the needed 32 bit libraries on your 64 bit system.
[01:53] <brjannc> TheProf: K, let me think
[01:54] <TheProf> my personal favorite error is that bash shows you the prompt "I have no name@localhost"
[01:54] <Jordan_U> rhinux1: Why not install skype from the Partner repository?
[01:54] <brjannc> TheProf: Well, there are a couple of things to try; you can try and boot into single-user mode, but that may fail spectacularly depending on what files in /etc it tries to read
[01:54] <Generalcamo> Hello?
[01:55] <rhinux1> szal I once installed many apps which installed depending libs, I dont know exactly any more. but in aptitude.log I could look.
[01:55] <Generalcamo> Live CD mode is not working
[01:55] <Generalcamo> it has been stuck on the loading cursor for the past 9 minutes!
[01:55] <brjannc> TheProf: Yeah, that's a fun one :) You could also boot into a livecd and we could try and get it back to limping along from there
[01:55] <Generalcamo> Speaking of livecd...
[01:56] <Jordan_U> Generalcamo: Can you reboot and run the CD's integrity check from the boot menu? (press any key within the first 5 seconds of LiveCD boot to get the boot menu).
[01:56] <rhinux1> Jordan_U I installed from skype the 64bit ubuntu package, and afterwards I added teh partenr repo and tried it that way
[01:56] <FJAA-1983> Greetings! I'm having a problem with the FGLRX package. My video suddenly failed and now the FGLRX package fails to install. http://pastebin.com/TmLiJNy0
[01:56] <TheProf> brjannc: I am downloading and preparing to burn them right now for that reason -- worst case is that in-place reinstall.
[01:56] <Jordan_U> rhinux1: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo apt-get install skype"?
[01:56] <Generalcamo> It is not even booting
[01:56] <Generalcamo> it is stuck on the menu where I choose either Try Ubuntu or Install Ubuntu
[01:57] <brjannc> TheProf: Okay. If this were one of my machines, I would probably go the livecd+chroot route and try and repair some of the damage; happy to help if you'd like to try that. (Disaster recovery is more fun when it's not my data ;) )
[01:57] <aliquis> Hi all! Anyone knows how to restore the original settings in Ubuntu 11.10 when it crashes?
[01:57] <rhinux1> Jordan_U "skype is  the current version."
[01:57] <aliquis> I've run Ubuntu for a week, and this is the second time it crashed. :(
[01:57] <aliquis> Last time I could remove .gnome2 and .gconf and restart, but this time it doesn't work.
[01:57] <aliquis> I still don't have the Launcher or icons in the top of the screen.
[01:57] <lyrae> aliquis, when it crashes, does it just freeze?
[01:58] <Jordan_U> Generalcamo: Try the "Check disk for defects" option.
[01:58] <aliquis> lyrae, yes, it froze for a while
[01:58] <aliquis> and then i was thrown out
[01:58] <lyrae> its been happening to me for a year or so now
[01:58] <mcurran> Anyone know why gnome-mplayer will open any selection in my places menu?
[01:58] <lyrae> like random freeze. nothing in the logs either
[01:58] <lyrae> i think it might be bad memory
[01:58] <aliquis> ok, thanks, i can run a memtest
[01:58] <aliquis> but do you know how to restore the settings then?
[01:58] <Generalcamo> How do I do that?
[01:58] <rhinux1> Jordan_U shall I remove skype and re install it again?
[01:59] <lyrae> seems to happen when i open chrome too
[01:59] <lyrae> like if i dont open it at all, wont freeze. but if i open it, it can happen anytime while its open or after i close it
[01:59] <aliquis> i don't have chrome, but i think that firefox might have caused it
[01:59] <lyrae> could b
[01:59] <lyrae> e
[01:59] <Generalcamo> Jordan, how would I do that?
[02:00] <TheProf> escott: Do those commands for listing the installed packages work if I'm running it from a live cd and pointing it somehow to the hard drive installation?
[02:00] <aliquis> do you also lose your settings, or can you continue working after having restarted?
[02:00] <escott> TheProf, you probably need to chroot yourself in first
[02:01] <Generalcamo> Jordan, how would I do that?
[02:01] <TheProf> escott: OK
[02:01] <FJAA-1983> Greetings! I'm having a problem with the FGLRX package. My video suddenly failed and now the FGLRX package fails to install. http://pastebin.com/TmLiJNy0
[02:01] <panfist> i have some ntfs partitions listed in fstab, but they won't mount automatically on boot
[02:01] <escott> TheProf, you could also try the admindir argument for dpkg
[02:02] <mcurran> hello
[02:02] <panfist> they claim "mountall: fsck /media/d terminated with status 8...unrecoverable fsck error"
[02:02] <panfist> but if i do "sudo mount -a" after booting....they mount fine
[02:02] <jefimenko> if i add the following to /etc/fstab, then unity 3d won't start after reboot: "tmpfs  /tmp  tmpfs  nodev,nosuid,noexec,mode=1777  0 0"
[02:02] <jefimenko> and syslog shows this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/740792/
[02:02] <Generalcamo> How would I run a disk check in the ubuntu install CD
[02:03] <Toyota4Runner> Hey everyone I have a problem.  Just recently I am unable to search for apps or click on Media Apps, Internet Apps, More Apps.  Nothing happens if I click on them.  Also ALT-F@ displays the run dialogue box but I can't run anything as it won't accept enter afterwards.  this is Unity-2D in 11.10 Ubuntu
[02:03] <Jordan_U> Generalcamo: Is this the menu you're stuck at? http://jordanu.dyndns.org/tmp/screenshot_liveCD_boot_menu.png
[02:03] <TheProf> escott: if I can get into root in order to run it I guess.
[02:03] <Generalcamo> I am on the GUI install disk
[02:04] <Generalcamo> For onieirc
[02:04] <Generalcamo> Onieric
[02:04] <Generalcamo> It offers install ubuntu and try ubuntu
[02:04] <orbi> SI'm back. The problem I'm having is... I have a Toshiba L300D-SP5801 Laptop (AMD Athlon x2 1.9GHz, 4GB (Kingston Hyper-X RAM), 500GB 7200RPM Seagate HDD, and the most important (the HW that's giving me nightmares) ATI x1250 Video Card with 1854MB (Shared RAM). I have Windows 7 x64 PRO installed and I just installed Ubuntu (Natty) using wubi and assigning 20GB to it.
[02:05] <orbi> I've tried a lot and haven't been successful installing the video driver so that I can take full advantage of that GPU, can anyone help me please?
[02:05] <brjannc> TheProf: I'm not sure how a chroot would behave with messed-up /etc, but it's certainly worth a try.
[02:05] <g465> how to correct my ubuntu 11.10
[02:05] <TheProf> brjannc: true. Thankfully I had /home on a different drive on the server.  Unthankfully I only have backups of /home
[02:06] <flopex> g465: more details please!
[02:06] <orbi> I'm really new to linux, though I started using computers back in 1992 and I can find my way around them.
[02:06] <brjannc> TheProf: Yeah, I hate that feeling.
[02:06] <Generalcamo> Forget it, I should be given the option to keep files while I am installing...
[02:06] <eross> is there a CLI calculator, such as this:     <calculate>  ((5*3)/2)-7       ?
[02:07] <flopex> orbi: what is it that you are having problems with?
[02:07] <Jordan_U> eross: bc
[02:07] <szal> orbi: if I'm not totally mistaken, the proprietary ATI video driver doesn't support that gfx card series, so you're stuck w/ the free driver
[02:07] <brjannc> eross: bc
[02:07] <jrib> eross: bc
[02:07] <FJAA-1983> Greetings! I'm having a problem with the FGLRX package. My video suddenly failed and now the FGLRX package fails to install. http://pastebin.com/TmLiJNy0
[02:07] <jrib> does anyone else want to tell eross about bc???
[02:07] <milamber> Generalcamo: fsck is the file system checker
[02:07] <eross> i just want to see a return value, not go into some other shell
[02:07] <jrib> eross: bc
[02:07] <escott> TheProf, if the chroot doesnt work the just use the admindir argument to specify the package database that dpkg should look at
[02:07] <aliquis> eross, are you looking for something like apcalc?
[02:07] <orbi> szal, that really BLOWS!
[02:08] <jrib> eross: for example... echo 2+3 | bc
[02:08] <Jordan_U> Generalcamo: Reboot the LiveCD and press any key when you see this: http://jordanu.dyndns.org/tmp/press_any_key_when_you_see_this.png which will get you to this menu
[02:08] <escott> eross, bash can do arithmetic with variables
[02:08] <Jordan_U> Generalcamo: ... This menu: http://jordanu.dyndns.org/tmp/screenshot_liveCD_boot_menu.png where you can choose the "Check disk for defects" option.
[02:08] <TheProf> escott: I follow thanks.
[02:08] <orbi> flopex, I can't even have a two-display desktop, as Ubuntu doesn't know how to use the GPU correctly
[02:08] <escott> eross, echo $(( 1 + 3 * 2 ))
[02:08] <Generalcamo> Got it
[02:08] <eross> echo 5*3.2 | bc   - gives me 16.0
[02:09] <jrib> eross: what did you want instead?
[02:09] <Ziber> Thats funny. bc doesnt do decimals for me.
[02:10] <eross> a calcuator without an interface, pass it a complex statement like you would in basic or c and then it return the answer
[02:10] <jrib> eross: bc
[02:10] <jrib> ...
[02:10] <whoever> using ubuntu 11.10 is there a way to edit the login screen to that users must type a user name and password
[02:10] <eross> bc doesn't do decimals?
[02:10] <escott> Ziber, you have to specify the scale parameter
[02:10] <Ziber> escott: how?
[02:10] <jrib> eross: you just gave an example in this channel where it did...
[02:11] <escott> Ziber, eross interactively scale=##
[02:11] <derric> I'm using SciDAVis and after I change the axis labes, a blue box forms around the label and refuses to go away.  When I export the plot the blue box shows up in the exported image.  How do I get rid of the blue box after modifying the axis labes?
[02:11] <Jordan_U> eross: 3*5.2 is exactly 16.0
[02:11] <SolarisBoy> is there any way to modify the keyboard shortcut CTRL + ALT + t => terminal... I'd like it to open terminator by default
[02:11] <eross> welll doh
[02:12] <escott> eross, echo "scale=5; 5/3" | bc
[02:12] <SolarisBoy> its 15.600000000000001 with float type =)
[02:12] <escott> eross, or bc -l for maximum precision
[02:14] <orbi> Any other thoughts or tips to make an ATI Radeon X1250 GPU work correctly in Natty?, does anyone have any kind of reliable information about this card compatibility with Natty?

[02:16] <suli8> Hi, first time here.
[02:17] <Jordan_U> suli8: Hi. Welcome to #ubuntu :)
[02:17] <suli8> thanks
[02:17] <t23> hi
[02:18] <quixotedon> hi t23
[02:18] <t23> got a quick question
[02:18] <t23> ok to ask?
[02:18] <mcurran> HI HOW IS EVERYONE
[02:18] <suli8> wanted to ask if anyone here using gnome shell with 11.10 and skype
[02:18] <Jordan_U> t23: Yes. (Next time just ask your question rather than asking to ask :)
[02:18] <quixotedon> t23: please do
[02:19] <quixotedon> suli8: i'm using skype
[02:19] <t23> How do I change my mac address for eth0 so when i reset it stays the same
[02:19] <suli8> i have a strange bug
[02:19] <quixotedon> suli8: not gnome shell
[02:19] <t23> i need to do this via konsole
[02:19] <Jordan_U> mcurran: Please don't use all caps, and keep to the channel topic (Ubuntu support).
[02:19] <mcurran> HELLO
[02:19] <mcurran> sorry
[02:19] <mcurran> , just trying to setup my colors
[02:19] <quixotedon> t23: can't answer your question
[02:19] <suli8> it kind of happens with gnome shell only. screen sharing problem. filed a bug about it but no news so far
[02:20] <mcurran> can't figure out why my input is always gray, don' know which to edit for colors in xchat2
[02:20] <brjannc> orbi: according to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver the X1250 is decently supported
[02:20] <quixotedon> suli8: what ubuntu version are you using?
[02:20] <suli8> 11.10
[02:21] <quixotedon> suli8: i have no problems with screen sharing
[02:21] <suli8> here is the bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/879895
[02:21] <escott> t23, ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:80:48:BA:d1:30
[02:21] <quixotedon> suli8: do you mean lag during screen haring?
[02:21] <Squarism> about HOW non-recommended is it to install ubuntu 64 bits? What key things is worse than the 32 bit version? Im on a 1+ year old dell laptop
[02:21] <trism> whoever: with lightdm-gtk-greeter setting greeter-hide-users=true in the SeatDefaults section will force you to enter a username/password combo, I don't remember if this works with unity-greeter (you need to restart lightdm after editing /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf)
[02:21]  * SolarisBoy loving 11.10
[02:21] <suli8> no no. all windows disappear...
[02:22] <hcpi> hello
[02:22] <escott> Squarepy, the 32bit recommendation is mostly because 32bit will run on anything
[02:22] <Squarism> aha
[02:22] <TheProf> Thanks for all the help. Have a good night.
[02:22] <Squarism> escott, so its not unrecommend to install on a 64 bit system?
[02:23] <cybermolly10> I need help! I tried installing Ubuntu for the first time, and I think I accidentally installed Ubuntu server.
[02:23] <suli8> there are few affected by the bug. but wanted to expose it here and see if everyone has it... or there is somthing wrong here with me
[02:23] <quixotedon> suli8: i'm using unity and skype screen sharing works fine
[02:23] <cybermolly10> Now I'm stuck on this prompt screen, I don't know how to get to anything resembling a desktop
[02:24] <suli8> quixotedon : it happens with gnome shell only :) unity is fine
[02:24] <quixotedon> suli8: hope it's okay soon
[02:24] <Jordan_U> cybermolly10: What prompt?
[02:25] <whoever> trism: do i need to restart or just logout for changes to take effect
[02:25] <cybermolly10> sorry, wish I wasn't so stupid, it asks for my login and password, and then there's just this sort of...prompt
[02:25] <cybermolly10> you know, a black and white screen with a lot of tupe
[02:25] <trism> whoever: you need to restart lightdm, so log out, ctrl+alt+f1, log in and: sudo restart lightdm;
[02:25] <Jordan_U> cybermolly10: What are the last few words / characters on the bottom most line of text?
[02:26] <whoever> trism: thx see you in a minut
[02:26] <escott> Squarism, the assumption is that the average person coming to ubuntu.com doesn't know how to determine if their system is 64bit or not
[02:26] <gnomitsu> !lightdm > gnomitsu
[02:26] <escott> Squarism, about the only concerns you have are 32bit apps you might want to use like skype
[02:26] <cybermolly10> cybermolly10@ubuntu~$
[02:26] <suli8> quixotedon, i hope so. if anyone uses gnome shell and have this bug please tell me
[02:27] <Squarism> escott, then i get it.. thanx
[02:27] <Squarism> esc
[02:27] <Jordan_U> cybermolly10: Was the installer you ran graphical or was it text based? (where text based means that it had some elements like colored rectangles and simle menus but nothing that would normally be called a full GUI).
[02:27] <cybermolly10> there were colored rectangles, but it was mostly text
[02:28] <hcpi> any word on sound issue with VGC-VA10G ?
[02:28] <cybermolly10> I burned another copy of ubuntu (not ubuntu server) onto a DVD, but I can't get it to boot off of the disc
[02:28] <Jordan_U> cybermolly10: That sounds like Ubuntu server. You can install the "ubuntu-desktop" metapackage, uninstall the server packages, and get a Desktop Ubuntu setup from here. But I would recommend just installing Ubuntu Desktop from scratch instead.
[02:29] <Jordan_U> cybermolly10: What happens when you try to boot from the DVD?
[02:29] <cybermolly10> ok, again, I'm very stupid, how do I install Ubuntu desktop from scratch when I'm stuck at this screen?
[02:29] <escott> cybermolly10, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[02:30] <orbi> brianc: any ideas to make it work at least "decently", LOL
[02:30] <Jordan_U> cybermolly10: Boot from and Ubuntu Desktop disk. That's why I asked what happens when you try to boot from the DVD you burned, to try to debug that problem.
[02:30] <suli8> cybermolly10,  install from scratch means, get that dvd to boot and install from there
[02:31] <whoever> trism: you said to add greeter-hide ? to lightdm, and restart it after loggin' out
[02:31] <cybermolly10> I tried typing in the get install thingy, and it said "couldn't find package ubuntu-desktop"
[02:31] <brjannc> orbi: I don't have any personal knowledge, no; best I could do is recommend reading through the page I linked to you, and following some of the links at the bottom :\ Sorry!
[02:31] <cybermolly10> I don't know how to force it to boot off of the DVD, restarting doesn't help
[02:31] <orbi> brianc: I've tried to follow the instructions on that page previously with no success, that's why I'm desperately asking for some help
[02:31] <Jordan_U> cybermolly10: What happens when you try to boot from the DVD?
[02:32] <whoever> trism: it didn't work for me , pasing lightdm.conf
[02:32] <cybermolly10> how can I boot from the DVD? is there something I can type?
[02:32] <orbi> brianc: well, I'll keep trying then. gotta go, thanks to those with whom I chatted tonight.
[02:32] <brjannc> orbi: I understand! Wish I could help more. I'm sure there are/will be some ATI gurus around at some point
[02:33] <Jordan_U> cybermolly10: Do you know how to change the boot order in your BIOS, or how to get to a menu for temporarily selecting a boot device?
[02:33] <trism> whoever: pastebin lightdm.conf and I'll take a look
[02:33] <cybermolly10> um no, I don't know how to do anything
[02:34] <orbi> brjannc: sorry about misspelling your nickname.
[02:34] <Jordan_U> cybermolly10: How did you boot from the Ubuntu server install CD?
[02:34] <brjannc> orbi: no worries :)
[02:34] <cybermolly10> I just restarted the computer
[02:35] <Jordan_U> cybermolly10: How did you create the Ubuntu server CD? How did you create the Ubuntu Desktop CD?
[02:35] <bsmith093> im also in the firefox chanel can someone beam me the .0 deb, 8.0 is insta crashing on me and its the only browser i have, so sort of catch 22 at the moment
[02:35] <bsmith093> 7.0 deb
[02:35] <cybermolly10> oh, I burned it on a different computer, the one I'm using now
[02:35] <whoever> trism: back in a sec i may have got it
[02:36] <bkfitz> are most of you folks still on 10.x or have you drank the unity cool aid and moved to 11.x
[02:36] <Jordan_U> !ot | bkfitz
[02:36] <bkfitz> considering a move myself but just love my gnome 2 setup
[02:36] <Jordan_U> bsmith093: sudo apt-get install chromium-browser
[02:36] <bsmith093> thanks
[02:37] <Jordan_U> !notunity | bkfitz
[02:37] <Jordan_U> bsmith093: You're welcome.
[02:37] <bkfitz> 10-4 cya
[02:38] <iggi__> anyone know of a place to get support for ZeroC ICE in IRC?
[02:38] <whoever> trism: got it working ... but it has a heading of "other ..." is that hardcoded or can that be changed to say "who the hell are you"
[02:39] <brjannc> iggi_: You can try asking ALIS... /msg ALIS help
[02:39] <Jordan_U> cybermolly10: You burned both the Ubuntu server install CD, and the Ubuntu Desktop DVD, the same way from the same computer? Please try to be as detailed as possible in your future answers.
[02:40] <sweatypalms> I just installed 11.10 for the first time. How do I edit the toolbar at the top? Specifically I want to remove the Messaging Menu.
[02:40] <cybermolly10> ok, first I installed the latest version of ubuntu straight onto the computer (it had windows)
[02:40] <Squarism> does it seem the ubuntu team is happy with unity? I havent tried it yet?
[02:40] <trism> whoever: is this unity-greeter?
[02:40] <cybermolly10>  I couldn't connect to the internet, and when I searched for tips online, it seemed like everyone was confused about the new version, so I decided to download the previous version
[02:41] <cybermolly10> I rebooted the computer, it went into windows, I downloaded what I thought was the second most recent version, but somehow I accidentally installed the ubuntu server
[02:42] <cybermolly10> so then on this computer (a mac) I tried to burn the actual second most recent version of ubuntu onto a dvd, stuck it in the PC, and now it won't boot off the dvd, or go to windows, or do anything
[02:42] <whoever> trism: yes it is
[02:42] <Jordan_U> cybermolly10: I would recommend sticking with Ubuntu 11.10 personally. If you don't want the latest then 10.04 would be better than any other versions as it has long term support.
[02:42] <iggi_> brjannc, I tried that I couldn't find anything :( It just happens to be a PHP library but no support other than commerical that I can find :(
[02:42] <rhinux1> szal Jordan_U I removed skype, disabled all additional repos except extras ubuntu and canonical partner, apt-get install skype on amd64 ubuntu 11.10 causes err msg: http://pastebin.com/jqxEkiS4
[02:43] <brjannc> iggi_: Sorry to hear that; best place to ask would probably be in #php then
[02:43] <cybermolly10> I would be willing to go back to 11.1 if I could do anything, but I am just stuck
[02:43] <BradBS> hey
[02:43] <Tech-1> what programs does devede use to operate ?
[02:43] <iggi_> brjannc, Thanks, I found some developer forums I will try too.
[02:43] <Stubkan> I'm having some issues with my video card, can some one help me?
[02:44] <Jordan_U> rhinux1: Can you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list and the contents of any files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ ?
[02:44] <BradBS> i have penis inspection day tomorrow at work, does anyone have advice for me?
[02:44] <Letalis> Stubkan: details?
[02:45] <bagels> Why is it that when I'm installing a multi-disc game through wine, I can't eject my disk? It says it's in use by another process and won't let me do it.
[02:45] <Stubkan> earlier I was on here, it seemed to think 2000x1500 was a good resolution to boot up in, so my old LCD was glitching out I found another monitor that handled it, so im able to down-size the resolution now.. but it's on 'unknown' I have a radeon 6950 card.. I want to be able to use the 3d on it
[02:45] <sweatypalms> Does anyone know how to remove the MessagingMenu from the toolbar in 11.10?
[02:45] <trism> whoever: yeah, seems like you would have to rebuild the package to change it
[02:46] <Stubkan> its a very fresh install - so i think its the default driver or something
[02:46] <Letalis> Stubkan: theres a program that is called additional drivers that may be able to install the necessary ones for your radeon card
[02:47] <whoever> trism: ok, you thing they would had made that a config option
[02:47] <pdq> cybermolly10, can you get to the boot menu when you power it up? by pressing f12 or f9 or however yours does it?
[02:47] <whoever> trism: thx for your help
[02:47] <Stubkan> I had a previous installation, 15 mins ago where I selected the propriety drivers - and I installed them - then the whole  computer seemed to slow down.. nothing was smooth and minecraft i ran as a test - said it was 80 fps but it seemed more like 15
[02:47] <cybermolly10> i can try
[02:47] <dr_willis> bagels:  normally i copy all the contents of all the disks to a single directory, theninstall from that directory, not even using the disks to insall then.
[02:47] <Stubkan> there are supposed to be open source drivers for radeon aren't there?
[02:47] <bagels> thanks dr_willis , I'll try that.
[02:48] <pdq> cybermolly and by it doing nothing, you mean it doesnt boot into ubuntu server? just a black screen or? if you can get into boot menu you can chose to have it boot from cd/dvd instead of the hdd
[02:48] <Letalis> Stubkan: hmm. that is odd. i dont have a machine with an ati card, and all i have experience with are nvidia and intel chipsets in linux.
[02:49] <Stubkan> yes, installing those propriety drivers actually seemd to degrade performance :(
[02:49] <Letalis> Stubkan: it actually ran better before you installed the drivers?
[02:49] <sartan> so.. any way to get rid of "unity" on recent ubuntu? classic desktop is gone
[02:49] <sartan> i want my classic, 2001-era gnome
[02:49] <cybermolly10> basically, I can log in, and then i'm still on a black and white screen that is all text
[02:49] <Stubkan> just moving windows around on the desktop is smooth now - after installing those drivers, they stutter
[02:50] <cybermolly10> and there apparently are commands I can type but I don't understand any of them
[02:50] <somsip_> !nounity | sartan
[02:50] <Letalis> Stubkan: gimme a  sec. theres a command you can run thatll tell you whether acceleration is working
[02:50] <sartan> thanks so much
[02:50] <Stubkan> okay
[02:50] <bagels> my CD-ROM drive isn't recognizing any discs I've put in anymore.  How can I easily remount it>
[02:51] <Stubkan> Letalis : I'm very reluctant to install the propriety drivers again, because when I tried to uninstall them earlier, the computer went back to glitching and wouldnt boot up
[02:52] <pdq> cybermolly, ah ya i dunno how would be best to install from within server to get the desktop version. if was me i would just get to the boot menu when powering it up and boot it from the cd and install fresh over top of the installed server version
[02:52] <Tech-1> does anybody know anything about devede ?
[02:53] <rhinux1> Jordan_U /etc/apt/sources.list + .d/* http://pastebin.com/NPqk0kmJ the other repo files are temporally moved into /etc/apt/sources.list.d/disabled/*
[02:53] <cybermolly10> I can't even figure out how to get to the boot menu, I tried restarting and hitting F9 and F12 like mad and nothing happened
[02:53] <cybermolly10> I did not mean to get in so far over my head
[02:54] <DeviceZer0> So I just got a new digi camera(fujifilm finepix jx420) and when I plug it in...ubuntu does not recognize it :(
[02:54] <DeviceZer0> cant mount it and dmesg doesnt show it actually being registerred
[02:54] <Jordan_U> cybermolly10: On many machines it flashes by almost too quickly to read, but there should be instructions during boot (before anything Ubuntu starts) for what key to press to get into the BIOS menus.
[02:54] <DeviceZer0> just these 2 lines:
[02:54] <DeviceZer0> [1127321.372029] usb 2-5: new high speed USB device number 12 using ehci_hcd
[02:54] <DeviceZer0> [1127367.068239] usb 2-5: USB disconnect, device number 12
[02:55] <Interius> hiya guys
[02:55] <Jordan_U> rhinux1: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo apt-get -f install" and the contents of the now disabled files as well?
[02:55] <Tech-1> !dvd
[02:56] <cybermolly10> it just goes straight to the ubuntu login
[02:56] <cybermolly10> I didn't even blink, there were no instructions
[02:56] <brjannc> cybermolly10: Did you say it's a mac?
[02:56] <Jordan_U> cybermolly10: I doubt it, but would it be possible for you to upload a video of your machine booting?
[02:56] <cybermolly10> no, I'm talking to you on a mac, but trying to get a PC to work
[02:56] <pdq> cybermolly, ya like he said, on all my PCs it's always been one of the F keys but ya have a small window of time to press them
[02:56] <cybermolly10> where should I upload it to?
[02:57] <brjannc> cybermolly10: ah, gotcha. know the make/model?
[02:57] <Jordan_U> cybermolly10: Youtube or any other video site.
[03:00] <bsmith093> how do i turn a tar bz2 archive of source into a deb
[03:00] <Tech-1> !DEVEDE
[03:00] <Resistance> bsmith093:  you might need #ubuntu-packaging for that support
[03:00] <Resistance> not sure though
[03:01] <somsip_> bsmith093: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Complete
[03:01] <Resistance> Tech-1:  can we help you with something?
[03:01] <Resistance> Tech-1:  if not, then try doing /msg ubottu !factoid   and replace !factoid with what you want to search for in the bot.  It has less flood on the channel that way.
[03:01] <Tech-1> ya, i installed it, and it starts ok..then finishes in 2 mins, what is is missing ?
[03:01] <cybermolly10> a ha, it's F8, I think
[03:02] <cybermolly10> so I hit it, it gave me two options, I told it to go to the CD Rom, and then it went back to that login screen
[03:02] <Stubkan> Letalis: are you still around?
[03:02] <Letalis> Stubkan: yeah i sent you a query
[03:02] <Stubkan> oh, where? crap
[03:03] <Letalis> Stubkan: what irc client are you using?
[03:03] <osmosis> whats the name of the app to do remote desktop to a win box ?
[03:03] <Stubkan> Letalis: It's the one with ubuntu.. um.. empathy
[03:03] <brjannc> cybermolly10: the disc you're trying to boot from may be a coaster; just to see if it works, try booting from the ubuntu server disc you used to install?
[03:03] <Letalis> Stubkan: hmm it shouldve opened up as a window i think. :/ ive never used empathy :P
[03:04] <Stubkan> i'll click on you
[03:04] <brjannc> osmosis: rdesktop and tsclient are two, but there are lots.
[03:05] <Jordan_U> Stubkan: Letalis: It's generally best to keep discussion (if it's on topic) in the channel so that others can help and ensure that no bad advice is given.
[03:05] <Tech-1> Resistance,  what i ment is, what dependencies doed devede need to work properly
[03:05] <crf> Hi, is there a picture viewer for Linux or Ubuntu that can use DLNA?

[03:05] <Resistance> Tech-1:  dont just ask me :
[03:05] <Resistance> ask the channel :P
[03:05] <Resistance> Anyone able to answer his question?

[03:08] <suli8> it happend 10 minutes ago, when i was here

[03:09] <suli8> i'll take a look
[03:10] <suli8> escott, yes. i dont know what i did... but now it's working again
[03:10] <escott> suli8, yes that slow keys
[03:10] <suli8> i had slow keys on
[03:10] <rhinux1> other problem: suspend works when wake up is not more than about 15 min or so. touchpad or key press, screen turn on again, login works. but after some longer time the screen doesn't turn on again, keeps off, but I can login blind and open terminal for "sudo reboot now". I use propertiary nvidia driver
[03:11] <bullgard4> Where are described "Snapping" windows to screen borders to make them fill up a half of the screen or the whole screen? See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNOME_Shell

[03:14] <hylian> how do i add power off to the gnome 3 shell?

[03:19] <rhinux1> ah: I tried to use second monitor an vga with twin view, generated thereby a xorg.conf, worked after logout and x reboot with ctrl-alt-backspace
[03:19] <konam> is an intel gma850 for a laptop hp dv2000, is there a special intel driver to be installed that i'm not aware of?

[03:20] <goodwishes11> hello
[03:21] <rhinux1> but next booting the twinview in nvidia settings needs to generate new xorg.conf and x reset
[03:21] <hylian> almoxarife, apt says that package does not exist.
[03:21] <luis_> Hi there. I'm pretty new on  Linux. I would Like to know is somebody can help me  find out the reason why my Graphic Card is getting so Hot. I have a VAIO Laptop

[03:22] <zacarias> how do you get a list of all available packages on your installed repositories or ppa's using the command line?
[03:22] <almoxarife> hylian: perhaps you need the ppa with the extension

[03:25] <brjannc> rhinux1: Okay, then you don't have the problem I was thinking of. Sorry!
[03:26] <rhinux1> @brjannc: Sorry that I don't have the right problem :D
[03:27] <brjannc> rhinux1: :D
[03:29] <luis__> Hi Guys. I Would like to know if somebody can help me find out the reason why my Graphic Card is getting real Hot on my VAIO after I installed Ubuntu 11.10
[03:29] <luis__> I'm pretty new on linux.
[03:29] <muntoo> Is anyone there?
[03:29] <muntoo> :)
[03:29] <rhinux1> is btrfs now stable enough to use it in production? thinking about to use btrfs for next ubuntu intallation on another lappy
[03:30] <snuxoll> rhinux1: no
[03:30] <brjannc> rhinux1: I'd say no; it's still missing fsck utilities, for example
[03:30] <muntoo> Maybe run Ubuntu 2D?
[03:30] <muntoo> @luis_
[03:30] <snuxoll> brjannc: well, fsck utilities don't really define the stability of anything
[03:31] <luis__> still on 2D is getting hot.
[03:31] <snuxoll> brjannc: when you need to run fsck your crap is already hosed, you're just hoping some crafty analytics can salvage something
[03:31] <rhinux1> @luis_ which vga chip is in there , see "lspci | grep vga" on terminal
[03:31] <rhinux1> and do you know which graphics driver do you use?
[03:31] <snuxoll> but btrfs still has some nasty bugs that cause data loss, that's reason enough to avoid it in production unless you are making regular incremental backups and can afford data loss
[03:32] <snuxoll> (would be a great filesystem to use on a web server that caches lots of images that can be regenerated, at least)
[03:32] <luis__> Hi rhinux1
[03:32] <rhinux1> @snuxoll: backup is necessary, but I dont want to restore all the time my files :)
[03:33] <luis__> I just typed that but nothing happened. Sorry. I'm very new.
[03:33] <Tadcrazio> Hey guys, Just dawned on me. Back when i was using windows i remember there was a "copy to clipboard" option. I am running 11.04 and want something similar. I often find doing research with several tabs of articles open and just want to copy a few quick things then paste it all into a blank notepad or document. So my question is does ubuntu have a clipboard thing that would suite my needs?
[03:33] <snuxoll> rhinux1: obviously :)
[03:34] <rhinux1> @luis_ no problem :) do you know how to open a terminal windows?
[03:34] <luis_> yes
[03:34] <luis_> @rhinux1
[03:34] <luis_> yes
[03:35] <somsip_> Tadcrazio: clipit, gpaste, diodon,
[03:36] <somsip_> Tadcrazio: ...are all worth looking at, but they might not be exactly what you want
[03:36] <rhinux1> and did you type inside the terminal / bash console "lspci | grep vga" without the sourrounding " ?
[03:36] <Tadcrazio> thank you somsip
[03:36] <rhinux1> sorry "lspci | grep -i vga" -i for ignoring case,
[03:37] <rhinux1> it could be vga or Vga or VGA so that you find all of them
[03:39] <Ketreva> Hello, I need some help using my blackberry with Ubuntu.
[03:39] <rhinux1> will be there the possibility to migrate from ext4 to btrfs or do I need to backup 500G, format it and restore all the data again?
[03:40] <escott> rhinux1, i believe you can migrate. instructions are on the btrfs website

[03:47] <drijen> well good evening my question is thus:
[03:48] <drijen> a coworker is bringing me a laptop tomorrow with a busted monitor
[03:48] <rhinux1> anothre question: here a many user in channel, 1529, is there anybody from bolivia and can tell me about the quality of internet? I'm in germany and use teamviewer to admin my moms pc there, it is very slooooow. so may be the problem in our PCs or is the internet over there so slow? I have  50Mbit/s over cable TV, she dont know her bandwith overthere
[03:48] <drijen> he wants me to install ubuntu, and have it use a secondary monitor, but tells me that when he attempts to do so, it defaults to the broken laptop monitor and never uses the secondary
[03:49] <ActionParsnip> drijen: there should be a key combo to switch it
[03:49] <drijen> is there a way to force ubuntu to use the secondary at boot/install, or would it be easier to do a cli install and configure X after the fact
[03:49] <drijen> may i ask what that key combo is?
[03:49] <ai9371> im having trouble with rails on ubuntu 11 can anyone help
[03:49] <ActionParsnip> drijen: depends on the model of the system
[03:50] <drijen> oh yiou mean hardware wise, not ubuntu wise
[03:50] <drijen> do you have a direct ubuntu method, or shall i shoot for workarounds as they woudl just be more straight forward
[03:50] <ActionParsnip> drijen: yes, there will be a shortcut to switch it, should be ok
[03:50] <drijen> rgr that

[03:51] <bsmith093> has anyone else had any problems with firefox 8, i just had to go back to the default ubuntu ff3.6 because ff8 was instantly crashing on me
[03:54] <somsip_> bsmith093: default of 3.6? What version of Ubuntu are you on?
[03:55] <bsmith093> somsip_:  ubuntu 1004 lucid
[03:55] <somsip_> bsmith093: ah. I didn't know they'd not updated the LTS to a higher version. Wow. I'm surprised...
[03:56] <ActionParsnip> bsmith093: did you make a vanilla profile after you upgraded?
[03:56] <usalabs> anyone know how I can stop the panel icons from randomly re-arranging themselves? (ubuntu Lucid LTS), I even tried 'Locking to panel' it seems nothing stops them from randomly re-arranging themselves on each power on or restart
[03:56] <bsmith093> i upgraded to 8 usign the mozzilla repos, and it was crashing , so i wanted to go back to 7, which involved pulling the mozz repos,and using 362, so how do i get7 now
[03:56] <Kimble> Hey. I've just installed 11.10 on a Dell E5400, and could do with some hand-holding to get this thing optimised.  I'm struggling to find what I need.
[03:57] <bsmith093> ActionParsnip: i loaded ff3.6 once to create the config folders, the uit and dumped a backup of my ff7 firefox config folder into it, merge replace all, done
[03:57] <bsmith093> but not its ff36 as opposed to ff7 so how do i upgrade to that versioon
[03:57] <ActionParsnip> bsmith093: but did you rename ~/.mozilla    after you changed version?
[03:58] <bsmith093> copied it out, then removed ff8, installed 3, put it back
[03:59] <ActionParsnip> Kimble: optomise in what way?
[03:59] <bsmith093> seems to work fine now, but the point is i would like to be running ff7 again
[03:59] <ActionParsnip> bsmith093: so did you try a blank profile with ver 8?
[03:59] <bsmith093> ummm no, how would i do that
[04:00] <Kimble> Well, it'd be nice if I could be sure that it had all the appropriate drivers.  At the moment the fans are on constantly, and the GPU reports as Unknown.
[04:00] <ActionParsnip> bsmith093: install 8, then rename ~/.mozilla   when you run the browser,you will make a fresh profile which should work
[04:00] <bsmith093> k then
[04:00] <Kimble> It doesn't recognise my Bluetooth or WiFi hardware either.
[04:01] <ActionParsnip> Kimble: ok what is the output of:  lspci | grep -i vga
[04:01] <ActionParsnip> Kimble: I recommend you use a wired link and get fully updated
[04:01] <Kimble> I do have a wired link and I have.
[04:02] <ActionParsnip> Kimble: what is the output of:  sudo lshw -C network | grep -i produc
[04:02] <ActionParsnip> Kimble: we can get your wifi going then you can get the rest sorted easier
[04:02] <Kimble> I'll be honest, I'm struggling to even discover how to find installed applications.  It's not very intuitive.
[04:03] <Kimble> How do I launch an terminal app?
[04:03] <naryfa> Kimble: type the application's name
[04:03] <Kimble> OK.  And what's it called on a default install?
[04:03] <bsmith093> ActionParsnip: upgrading to ff8 using this ppa, whick i think is the official one  http://ppa.launchpad.net/mozillateam/firefox-stable
[04:03] <ActionParsnip> Kimble: press the windows key and type the apps name
[04:04] <Kimble> Yes, but what's the app name on Ubuntu?
[04:04] <ActionParsnip> bsmith093: ok, yes thats the officially managed one as far as I am aware
[04:04] <ActionParsnip> Kimble: terminal
[04:04] <naryfa> Kimble: I'm sorry I jumped into the context, what application are you looking for?
[04:04] <Kimble> Any terminal app.
[04:04] <clu3> Kimble, Applications -> Accessories->Terminal
[04:04] <ActionParsnip> Kimble: gnome-terminal
[04:04] <ActionParsnip> Kimble: that search is like the app search in the windows start menu
[04:05] <naryfa> Kimble: Ctrl + Alt + T to launch terminal, and then I don't know, try application called top
[04:05] <ActionParsnip> Kimble: I'd say it was as intuitive as it comes
[04:05] <qin> Hm, is it me or something is wrong with brightness levels in EeePC...
[04:05] <Kimble> ActionParsnip: trust me, it's not.
[04:05] <ActionParsnip> qin: which model, EEE PC make a lot of devices
[04:05] <Kimble> How do I get to the Applications folder, fe.?
[04:05] <ActionParsnip> Kimble: well microsoft use the same method
[04:06] <bsmith093> ActionParsnip: ok, blank profile, now put back original mozilla folder
[04:06] <qin> ActionParsnip: 1005p
[04:06] <ActionParsnip> bsmith093: just copy in your shortcuts, looks like the old profile causes issues
[04:06] <Kimble> ActionParsnip: I've used Windows XP and 7, and am currently an OS X 10.6 user.  But Ubuntu's interface is not as intuitive as you claim.
[04:07] <ActionParsnip> Kimble: typing the app you want is even better than having to guess which folder the app you want is in
[04:07] <Kimble> Guess?  You have to guess which folder an app is in in Ubuntu?
[04:07] <ActionParsnip> Kimble: can you run the command I gave, it will tell us the wireless chip
[04:07] <Kimble> I'm not really bothered about the wireless chip, tbh. I'd rather get the graphics and the mobo chipset drivers sorted first.
[04:07] <Blackadder> Hi can someone please let me know what is the command line to update Java on server
[04:08] <ActionParsnip> Kimble: you would in ANY OS if you weren't sure, the search shows things matching what you type
[04:08] <haylo> Kimble yes the mac os is exactly the same on a base level- the underlying unix commands are what makes it special it shares much of this on common with linux
[04:08] <Kimble> ActionParsnip: yes, my friend, but you must have some idea what the name of the application you are searching for is.
[04:08] <Blackadder> I have java installed I need to update to latest version on server
[04:09] <haylo> Ubuntu software center is a great way to scroll through the installapps
[04:09] <ActionParsnip> Kimble: its like when games install themselves under the developers name, like Programs -> EA Games -> Need For Speed.       I don't want to have to remember the developer of the game I make, yet the guys use this as default.
[04:09] <ActionParsnip> Kimble: there are also categories of apps you can use on the right so it groups them that way too, nice and easy
[04:10] <haylo> click installed software in Ubuntu software center thats as close as youl get Kimble - iam not an ubuntu admin
[04:10] <Blackadder> can somone help please
[04:10] <ActionParsnip> Blackadder: you will need to grab the installer from www.java.com as oracle change the license
[04:11] <Blackadder> so the existing  java on Ubuntu requires a license
[04:11] <elbeto> Does anyone know until when ubuntu studio 11.04 wil be supported?
[04:11] <ActionParsnip> Blackadder: oracle acquired java and changed the license
[04:12] <Kimble> Ok, I ran lspci|grep -i vga - I have Intel Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrate Graphics Controller.
[04:12] <ActionParsnip> elbeto: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases
[04:12] <Blackadder> Yes I know but I still managed to install
[04:12] <ActionParsnip> Kimble: ok and the lshw based command please
[04:12] <Blackadder> a while back & I am not running xserver on server
[04:12] <Blackadder> only shell
[04:12] <elbeto> thanks!
[04:13] <bsmith093> ActionParsnip: ok well i changed the profile path back to my old one, and it works in ff8 now so yay, and thanks for the help :)
[04:13] <Kimble> It shows me the gigabit ethernet controller, but no wifi.
[04:13] <ActionParsnip> bsmith093: np man, profiles can make firefox moan like a little girl. Its one of the reasons I don't use it
[04:14] <ActionParsnip> Kimble: hmm, strange. Does it show if you run:  lspci
[04:14] <bsmith093> yes but the upshot is that backup is brain dead simple copy one folder
[04:15] <ActionParsnip> bsmith093: exactly, same with other apps :)
[04:15] <haylo> goodbye everyone future haylos will not be me
[04:16] <Kimble> Oddly, no, there's no mention of a wifi card in the results.
[04:17] <Kimble> Though I know I have one - I've seen it with my own eyes, and it functioned find under Windows 7.
[04:17] <Kimble> ^fine^
[04:19] <ActionParsnip> Kimble: do you dual boot?
[04:19] <Kimble> Can someone post a link to a decent and concise description of how to both find and install all appropriate drivers for a ubuntu-based laptop?
[04:19] <Kimble> ActionParsnip: no. I installed on top of a non-genuine Windows 7 install that came with the machine.
[04:20] <ActionParsnip> Kimble: the description of the guide you want is too vague
[04:20] <psychx-> What's the best way to screenshot?
[04:20] <ActionParsnip> psychx-: press printscreen
[04:20] <Kimble> Eh?  That's too vague?
[04:20] <Kimble> Surely there must be some kind of repository for hardware drivers?
[04:20] <ActionParsnip> Kimble: basically you asked "Is there a guide to make ubuntu work on laptops"
[04:20] <psychx-> ActionParsnip: I know this isn't the right channel for this, but I'm running lubuntu, and when I hit printscreen and go to mtpaint; it doesn't let me paste it.
[04:21] <ActionParsnip> Kimble: the possible configuration variations is astronomical, so no single guide could feasibly exist
[04:21] <psychx-> ActionParsnip: actually i think i found it in my home folder.
[04:21] <ActionParsnip> psychx-: lubuntu is supported :)
[04:21] <mylisto> I can't figure out why I can't hear anything on my computer
[04:21] <Kimble> You're not exactly confirming Ubuntu as easy-to-use, you must confess...
[04:21] <Kimble> Having appropriate drivers installed is a basic of any OS install.
[04:22] <ActionParsnip> psychx-: you can run:   sudo apt-get install imagemagick      then run;   sleep 15; import ~/screenshot.png       the sleep command gives you time to arrange the screen, you can then draw a box around what you desire
[04:22] <psychx-> ActionParsnip: Thanks :)
[04:22] <Kimble> Anyone other than ActionParsnip responding to help requests here? He's taking on everyone single-handed atm.
[04:23] <ActionParsnip> Kimble: I have installed Windows7 on my Asus p1-AH2 pundit, it took me 2 HOURS to find sound drivers
[04:23] <Kimble> Why would it take you two hours?  Is it an OEM machine?
[04:23] <ActionParsnip> Kimble: on the other hand 100% of my hardware, even wifi, works out of the box
[04:23] <ActionParsnip> Kimble: yes, home build and Asus don't give Win7 drivers for the model
[04:24] <ActionParsnip> Kimble: is the wifi enabled in BIOS? Is there a hardware switch to enable / disable wifi?
[04:24] <Kimble> Well, no offence, but that's one of the pitfalls of rolling your own PC - you have to make sure the drivers are available for your configuration before purchasing.
[04:25] <ActionParsnip> Kimble: Its an old PC, running a Semperon AM2
[04:25] <Kimble> ActionParsnip: aha, you may have hit on something.  Yes, I disabled all wireless hardware in bios.
[04:25] <ActionParsnip> Kimble: but Ubuntu works 100% out of the box, seems easy to use to me
[04:25] <psychx-> htop is awesome.
[04:25] <ActionParsnip> Kimble: so the disabledness is not ubuntu's fault, is it?
[04:25] <Kimble> I didn't say it was. ??  I told you i couldn't care less about the wifi anyway.
[04:26] <ActionParsnip> Kimble: no OS can use hardware if you make it not work in BIOS
[04:26] <Kimble> And I never blamed Ubuntu.
[04:26] <Kimble> What I want to do, as I've stated before, is to get the gpu recognised properly and stop the fans spinning.
[04:26] <Kimble> no-one else got something to say?  All on bouncers?
[04:26] <ActionParsnip> Kimble: but you said it wasn't coming across as easy to use....
[04:26] <Kimble> It's not.
[04:27] <Kimble> You were the one that wanted me to install wifi drivers.
[04:27] <Kimble> I told you i had wired.
[04:27] <ActionParsnip> Kimble: its just different, you'll get that switching from any OS
[04:27] <Kimble> I'm not switching, tho. This is just a side-line project.
[04:27] <ActionParsnip> Kimble: same difference
[04:28] <Kimble> oh god, I'm no further forward and now I have to apologise to someone on IRC for disparaging Ubuntu?
[04:28] <ActionParsnip> Kimble: no, just making statements about an OS you aren't familiar wit at all is a bit rich
[04:28] <ActionParsnip> thats all
[04:29] <Kimble> I still have no graphics drivers, I don't know where to find them and no-one seems to know how I can even _find out_ about where to find them.
[04:29] <qin> Hm, is it me or something is wrong with brightness levels in EeePC 1005p?
[04:29] <ActionParsnip> Kimble: they are  part of a default install
[04:29] <Kimble> I've used previous versions of Ubuntu, and didn't find them so un-intuitive.
[04:29] <Kimble> Besides, the learning curve of any OS is part of its ease-of-use factor.
[04:30] <ActionParsnip> Kimble: You are probably using Unity, you can install the gnome fallback or switch to XFCE which is a lot like Gnome2
[04:30] <ActionParsnip> qin: which release
[04:30] <Kimble> Well, if they are part of the default install, why doesn't it recognise my GPU?
[04:30] <qin> ActionParsnip: 11.10
[04:30] <qin> ActionParsnip: ;)
[04:30] <ActionParsnip> qin: and which BIOS version?
[04:30] <ActionParsnip> qin: why the ;) ?
[04:31] <ActionParsnip> qin: seems you need the boot option:   acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=vendor
[04:31] <qin> ActionParsnip: Beggar, just transfering 80gig, lets leave it for tomorrow. Oh, will try it, thanks
[04:32] <ActionParsnip> qin: source: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC/1005P
[04:33] <ActionParsnip> Kimble: Ive seen some Intel GPUs need an xorg.conf (old school), If the screen doesn't report EDID. You can read /var/log/Xorg.0.log   to see what is going on when the X server gets created
[04:33] <qin> ActionParsnip: Yeah I have seen that page, apparently did not bother to read it, thanks again.
[04:35] <ActionParsnip> Kimble: once you enable the wifi, it appears its a cheap broadcom 43xx. This will help you install it
[04:35] <ActionParsnip> !broadcom | Kimble
[04:36] <Kimble> Why is wifi so important?  I couldn't care less about the wifi.  I've said that three times at least. lol.
[04:37] <Kimble> maybe ubuntu was a bad idea.  I think i'll see if there's a linux flavour with better support for this notebook.
[04:37] <Kimble> I'm starting to get that Wintel headache again...
[04:37] <Kimble> Only now it's Lintel...
[04:38] <ActionParsnip> Kimble: if you run:  gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf       you can add this text: http://pastie.org/2876052
[04:41] <Kimble> I appreciate your attempts, but Ubuntu just isn't good enough, I'm afraid. I'm going to look elsewhere.  Find a flavour with better support for my hardware and easier to configure.
[04:41] <Kimble> Peace, my friend. :)
[04:42] <mylisto> I can't figure out why I can't hear anything on my computer...not sure how to diagnose this either...
[04:43] <aeon-ltd> mylisto: check source of sound, physical connections and test if speakers work
[04:43] <mylisto> its a laptop
[04:43] <mylisto> it was working a few minutes ago...
[04:43] <mylisto> this happens from time to time...no sound from players/youtube/etc
[04:43] <mylisto> I usually have to reset my laptop
[04:44] <aeon-ltd> mylisto: go to a terminal, type 'alsamixer' is anything showing no bars or "MM"?
[04:45] <mylisto> the speaker one is all the way down
[04:45] <aeon-ltd> turn it up
[04:46] <mylisto> I know ;)
[04:47] <mylisto> aeon-ltd: that didn't do anything
[04:48] <aeon-ltd> what do you do prior to this happening?
[04:48] <mylisto> nothing...
[04:48] <mylisto> it does this from time to time...
[04:48] <mylisto> I know I was editing a video in kdenlive...and I got a sound error
[04:49] <dork> anyone ever run into an issue during boot after initrd where mounting fails giving a Mount: too many levels of symbolic links
[04:49] <aeon-ltd> hmm if you can't get it fixed today make a forum post with a screenshot of the error
[04:50] <mylisto> there is no more error for me to get a screen shot of
[04:50] <mylisto> argh...
[04:50] <mylisto> linux sound drives me nuts
[04:51] <psychx-> Ok, so I was using TeamSpeak, and the sound was working fine. Now, when I go to open Chromium, I have no sound. Any ideas?
[04:51] <aeon-ltd> mylisto: try restarting alsa
[04:52] <tystr> hey
[04:52] <psychx-> hi there
[04:52] <tystr> what would cause php test.php to work, but ./test.php not to work
[04:53] <mylisto> how do I restart alsa aeon-ltd: ?
[04:54] <tystr> ./test.php   errors with     "No such file or directory"
[04:54] <aeon-ltd> mylisto: sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart
[04:54] <PLeQ> tystr: ?
[04:55] <aeon-ltd> tystr: what are you trying to run it with?
[04:55] <tystr> php test.php works fine, but ./test.php errors no such file
[04:56] <tonyyarusso> tystr: Executable bit.
[04:56] <tystr> just running from the cli
[04:56] <tystr> hmm
[04:58] <ai9371> hello rvm is not working in ubuntu
[04:58] <psychx-> why not?
[04:58] <tystr> i mean, even with 777 perms not working...
[04:58] <PLeQ> what rvm ?
[05:02] <PLeQ> i don't know
[05:03] <psychx-> Can someone help me diagnose my problem? I have no sound, I just rebooted. I had sound find in TeamSpeak3, then opened Chromium - no sound. Rebooted. Now I opened Chromium, no sound. Opened Banshee and imported mp3's that I know work, and I still have no sound.
[05:07] <aeon-ltd> mylisto: any luck?
[05:09] <dr_willis> tystr:  whats the first line of test.php
[05:09] <_chaos_> anyone here work at ubuntu
[05:10] <_chaos_> http://www.lulu.com/product/ebook/beginning-ubuntu-linux/14921533?productTrackingContext=search_results/search_shelf/center/9
[05:10] <smw> _chaos_, there are probably people working at canonical here.
[05:10] <dr_willis> you mean work for conaical?
[05:10] <_chaos_> i dunno
[05:10] <_chaos_> check the link kinda funny
[05:10] <_chaos_> http://www.lulu.com/product/ebook/beginning-ubuntu-linux/14921533?productTrackingContext=search_results/search_shelf/center/9
[05:11] <smw> _chaos_, ubuntu is run by a company called canonical. Just like no one works for Windows :-P
[05:11] <_chaos_> oh the rich guys. right. cool
[05:12] <smw> _chaos_, "Without even having read this publication, I can safely say that it is ever so slightly over-priced. Even with the 20% discount I would be expecting the download to run Ubuntu for me, while also teaching me the art of alchemy. I'm guessing it wont."
[05:12] <_chaos_> lol
[05:13] <_chaos_> i assume Canonical did not publish that
[05:13] <booh-> On old Ubuntu distro, where is the config file for ethernet IP ?
[05:13] <iceroot> booh-: /etc/network/interfaces
[05:13] <_chaos_> yep
[05:14] <iceroot> booh-: which fits for every ubuntu-version
[05:14] <booh-> I look at /etc/network/interfaces but even if I change the ip in this file, when I reboot the ip is not changed.
[05:14] <_chaos_> nope
[05:14] <tonyyarusso> booh-: pastebin it?
[05:14] <iceroot> booh-: using also network-manager?
[05:14] <tonyyarusso> booh-: also, NetworkManager doesn't play nice.
[05:14] <_chaos_> dhcp
[05:14] <booh-> I think gnome take over the config..
[05:15] <_chaos_> evil gnomes in my computer
[05:15] <iceroot> booh-: not gnome but the network-manager
[05:15] <jbicha> _chaos_: click the "author" link on that page
[05:15] <TheOnlyDosage> amn gnomes
[05:15] <TheOnlyDosage> facebook got pwned
[05:15] <TheOnlyDosage> its like the new keezmovies
[05:15] <booh-> I just have access to ssh... because the goal is to reboot a virtual version of a phys server... so I need to change the ip and hostname before booting..
[05:15] <iceroot> !ot | TheOnlyDosage
[05:15] <_chaos_> uh oh
[05:16] <TheOnlyDosage> !ot?
[05:16] <_chaos_> ubottu: destroy me or be destroyed!
[05:16] <booh-> So where network-manager store is config?
[05:16] <ActionParsnip> booh-: if you change the interfaces file, all you have to do is restart the networking service
[05:17] <TheOnlyDosage> Rock_it Science
[05:17] <ActionParsnip> booh-: if you pastebin the file, we can verify syntax
[05:17] <_chaos_> ya booh
[05:17] <iceroot> ActionParsnip: isnt network-manager ignoring that file?
[05:17] <_chaos_> do it
[05:17] <iceroot> _chaos_: you have a support question?
[05:17] <ActionParsnip> iceroot: network manager will be overridden if the interfaces file is used
[05:17] <iceroot> ActionParsnip: ah ok
[05:17] <_chaos_> duh i do not cant you tell
[05:18] <TheOnlyDosage> choas whats a good channel
[05:18] <_chaos_> im out though just wanted to share that post
[05:18] <_chaos_> they are all what u make them youngin
[05:18] <_chaos_> haha
[05:18] <TheOnlyDosage> lol
[05:19] <booh-> I know how to modify the /etc/network/interfaces, no need to pastebin
[05:19] <booh-> The problem isn't there.
[05:19] <booh-> The problem is about network-manager
[05:19] <iceroot> booh-: please paste it
[05:19] <booh-> that take over the network/interfaces file
[05:19] <ActionParsnip> booh-: if you configure an insterface in interfaces file, network manager will not be able to touch it and it will be seen as unmanagable
[05:19] <ActionParsnip> booh-: so yourfile is wrong, otherwise that would happen
[05:26] <booh-> Ubuntu version is feisty
[05:27] <Jordan_U> booh-: Feisty hasn't been supported for years. You need to upgrade.
[05:28] <Jordan_U> !eol | booh-
[05:29] <ActionParsnip> wow thats a blast from the past
[05:30] <booh-> Grrrrrr first, I CAN'T upgrade, it was modify for a specifiq app.  Secondo, I just want to reboot this server and change the ip because I virtualize this server that will be retired in 2 weeks...
[05:30] <booh-> Don't give me a political answer if I just want to modify an IP of a server!
[05:30] <booh-> come on..
[05:30] <ActionParsnip> booh-: no need to reboot to change IP, just restart the networking service
[05:31] <ActionParsnip> booh-: change the file and restart the service, no need to reboot, this isn't windows
[05:31] <booh-> Is it possible to have answer without asking me to justify x...y...z.. decision?
[05:31] <pivotraze> Hi everyone! My cardbus wireless adapter (exactly Belkin N1 Notebook Adapter, Part # F5D8011v2) won't connect at all, like, there is no light saying it is powered on. It is supposed to be supported by the ath9k driver, so why is it not working? Here are some commands I issued that I hope help solve the problem.  http://pastebin.com/7DZHkR00 I want to use the Belkin over my internal Realtek
[05:31] <pivotraze> iwconfig doesn't detect it either :\
[05:31] <booh-> I need to be sure after a reboot that the server won't take the ip configure in network-manager.  That's it. not more.
[05:31] <ActionParsnip> booh-: i didn't ask you to justify anything
[05:32] <booh-> You know where network-manager store the ip?
[05:32] <ActionParsnip> booh-: can you pastebin the interfaces file please and we can verify the config
[05:32] <booh-> This is my only question.
[05:32] <ActionParsnip> booh-: no idea personally, you can use network manager to set a static IP too you know...
[05:33] <booh-> I can't access at this time (remotely) the x interface.
[05:33] <booh-> Only ssh
[05:33] <pivotraze> booh-: Can you not figure it out through ifconfig?
[05:34] <ActionParsnip> booh-: you can connect with:   ssh -X username@host    and run gui apps
[05:35] <ActionParsnip> booh-: try /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections
[05:36] <ActionParsnip> booh-: yep, its in that folder
[05:36] <ActionParsnip> booh-: you will need to open the file with: sudo nano /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/filenamehere
[05:37] <ActionParsnip> booh-: I found that out with: http://blogs.gnome.org/dcbw/2010/04/30/what-you-dont-know-about-networkmanager-part-1-configuration/
[05:37] <ActionParsnip> booh-: which wasn't hard to find at all....
[05:37] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip, :)
[05:38] <ai9371> anyone have experience with install rubyb 1.9.2
[05:38] <ActionParsnip> nice gratitude too, what a douche
[05:38] <pivotraze> Hi everyone! My cardbus wireless adapter (exactly Belkin N1 Notebook Adapter, Part # F5D8011v2) won't connect at all, like, there is no light saying it is powered on.

[05:41] <codeshah> hey guys, if /etc/apache2/ folder is removed, how can I reinstall it with aptitude
[05:42] <zenrox> codeabit, only if you remove reinstall
[05:42] <Flannel> codeshah: purge all of the apache packages, then reinstall them.
[05:43] <codeshah> hmm
[05:43] <codeshah> I have apache and nginx and both aren't doing that
[05:43] <codeshah> i did remove
[05:43] <codeshah> then reinstall
[05:43] <codeshah> ash purge hmm how do I do that
[05:43] <FloodBot1> codeshah: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:43] <zenrox> its sudo apt-get purge pkgname
[05:43] <Flannel> codeshah: purge, not remove.  And all apache packages, meaning -common and -bin and -mpm-prefork
[05:44] <codeshah> k
[05:44] <Flannel> codeshah: libapache2-* too
[05:44] <Flannel> codeshah: `dpkg -l | grep apache` may prove useful
[05:44] <codeshah> I did apt-get purge nginx, then apt-get install nginx
[05:45] <codeshah> but /etc/nginx is not there .
[05:45] <codeshah> I assume it works the same for all packages - not just apache
[05:45] <jgrig2> hello. I am a brand new ubuntu user
[05:45] <jgrig2> I have everything set up
[05:46] <jgrig2> but I am having problems setting up a virtual machine using virtual box.  Is there anybody who can help me?
[05:46] <ActionParsnip> jgrig2: is virtualbox installed?
[05:46] <jgrig2> yes
[05:46] <Flannel> codeshah: yes, but you need to purge every package that puts something there.  "nginx" doesn't have a whole lot, it looks like it installs "nginx-full" which then installs "nginx-common", etc.
[05:46] <jgrig2> Virtual box is installed
[05:46] <Flannel> codeshah: Try this: dpkg -S /etc/nginx
[05:46] <codeshah> ok
[05:46] <Flannel> codeshah: then purge all the packages listed there.
[05:46] <codeshah> aah I see
[05:47] <codeshah> I was only remoinv nginx, so I have to remove nginx-full / common too etc k
[05:47] <jgrig2> and I have my own legal copies of mac osx and windows 7 (64bit) which came to with my computers
[05:47] <codeshah> thx
[05:47] <jgrig2> I have an old macbook and a Fujitsu (came with windows) and I wiped the harddrive to install Ubuntu
[05:48] <ActionParsnip> jgrig2: ok then tere is a menu item to run the GUI and you can setup a virtual OS there, if your system is not decent, it will make both the host and guest struggle
[05:48] <Flannel> codeshah: apt figures you removed those files in purpose (just like you may modify them to change some configuration bits, "remove" is just an extreme form of modify).  So unless you tell apt to remove the config files (purge does, remove doesn't), it'll "keep your changes"
[05:48] <jgrig2> May i talk with you in private actionparsnip because i'm h aving troubel following you with the other things going on
[05:48] <ActionParsnip> jgrig2: sure
[05:48] <jgrig2> I also have the exact error message
[05:50] <pivotraze> random q: Does WOW run well in WINE?
[05:50] <Flannel> pivotraze: yes
[05:51] <assasin> will i loose all the customization on blackbuntu if i upgrade it?
[05:51] <pivotraze> Mmmm... yummy. I was going to keep Windows just for that xD I love Ubuntu way more, but WoW kept me on Windows. Do I just run the installed in WINE and I'm set? or any needed edits?
[05:52] <Flannel> pivotraze: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft
[05:52] <pivotraze> thanks :)
[05:53] <assasin> irc is a good source of ip's for experimenting metasploit :D lol
[05:54] <z0mbi3> yes, i think so.
[05:54] <pivotraze> What if OpenGL doesn't run well in Windows on my card... will it work better no matter what in ubuntu?
[05:56] <ActionParsnip> pivotraze: depends on the GPU
[05:56] <ActionParsnip> pivotraze: WoW runs great in Wine
[05:57] <pivotraze> Lol. Well... it runs at 20FPS in Windows. It's an Intel 945gm :D lololol
[05:57] <z0mbi3> Winex
[05:58] <pivotraze> z0mbi3: is Winex free? Why Winex over Wine? Sorry, don't use wine much :p
[05:58] <codeshah> anyone using nginx - just installed nginx on ubuntu with aptitude - 404 not found error hmm out of the box
[05:58] <CarlFK> how do I pass  squid-deb-proxy/ppa-enable=true when I "apt-get install squid-deb-proxy" ?
[05:59] <zykotick9> pivotraze, "OpwenGL doesn't run well in Windows..."  I stated it doesn't run well on windows with *my* card
[06:00] <zykotick9> pivotraze, is "my card" = ati?
[06:00] <z0mbi3> haha
[06:00] <pivotraze> No. "my card" = intel ;)
[06:00] <z0mbi3> XD
[06:00] <pivotraze> I know xD
[06:01] <pivotraze> So I don't even need to install WoW again? I can just c/p all the files onto my linux os and not need to do anything more? I can't tell if I'm understanding this wrong
[06:01] <zykotick9> pivotraze, intel isn't bad!  seriously.  my netbook is intel and i'm very happy with it.
[06:01] <pivotraze> zykotick9: Intel 945gm?
[06:03] <zykotick9> pivotraze, not sure - i'm on my desktop right now (nvidia non-free)
[06:05] <pivotraze> ah. Well, I have the intel 945gm, which is integrated. Max 128MB ram (shared with true ram, not dedicated), Pixel Shaders 2.0, Vertex Shaders I think non-existant, or a low version, and Hardware Shading... eh. None :)
[06:06] <ActionParsnip> pivotraze: set a lower res and colour depth etc, you'll get more FPS
[06:06] <mukkugolla> hello all
[06:06] <mukkugolla> i am facing problem
[06:06] <mukkugolla> can any one help me  plz
[06:06] <mukkugolla> i am  using ubuntu 11.10
[06:06] <pivotraze> I usually run at 1280x720 (I just can't run at a lower res :) It's just too horrible!) and i don't think you can change color depth without screwing up game?
[06:06] <pivotraze> mukkugolla: what is the problem/
[06:06] <pivotraze> ?
[06:07] <mukkugolla> my volume control icon vanished from top pannel
[06:07] <mukkugolla> i stragulling to get back that icon ..
[06:08] <mukkugolla> is there any way to get back that volume control  button ..
[06:08] <pivotraze> oh, sorry, I haven't figured anything like that out :\ No problems personally. I'm sure there is, but Idk how in ubuntu 11.10 :p
[06:08] <mukkugolla> hmmm
[06:09] <mukkugolla> i uninstalled  and installed the alsa and pulse audio ..
[06:09] <mukkugolla> nothing worked ...
[06:10] <aking1012> i'm late to the game mukkugolla...what's your audio issue?
[06:10] <pivotraze> it's probably called something specific... I'm not sure.
[06:10] <pivotraze> aking1012:  his volume control button is missing
[06:10] <mukkugolla> my audio  icon  form top pannel disappered  ...
[06:10] <pivotraze> button/icon. Interchangable words to me :)
[06:11] <mukkugolla> :)
[06:11] <pivotraze> mukkugolla: I'm assuming you have tried logging out/in or restarting?
[06:11] <mukkugolla> ya i did  even rebooted ..
[06:11] <aking1012> oh, that's not alsa or pulse...that's a tray icon...and it's probably not the disappeared icon that's the problem.  it's probably something that launches before it.
[06:11] <tweak> hey guys. any suggestions on speeding up ubuntu?
[06:11] <pivotraze> dbus would obviously be working. I'm not sure what the icon, or even that portion of the panel relies on. Anyone else?
[06:12] <pivotraze> one sec tweak, let me find the info
[06:12] <Jordan_U> tweak: What types of things are slow for you?
[06:12] <tweak> Jordan_U: a lot of things, firefox, opening windows, just general sluggishness
[06:13] <Jordan_U> tweak: How much RAM do you have? What graphics card?
[06:13] <pivotraze> Basic stuff is: http://linux-software-news-tutorials.blogspot.com/2011/03/how-to-speed-up-ubuntu.html <-- That and This --> http://ubuntulinuxhelp.com/speed-up-your-internet-connection-in-ubuntu-linux/
[06:13] <pivotraze> And of course, what Jordan_U says :)
[06:14] <pivotraze> And to add on, what CPU speed
[06:14] <tweak> Jordan_U: 4GB
[06:15] <pivotraze> nice amount of ram. Double what i have :P Graphics card?
[06:15] <linuxuz3r> 11.12 does gnome3.2
[06:15] <tweak> pivotraze:  AMD athlon II X# 440 3ghz 3 core
[06:15] <pivotraze> That would be the CPU more likely than the GPU. What is the GPU/Graphics Card.
[06:15] <pivotraze> Btdubs, nice CPU :D
[06:16] <aking1012> 10.04, 11.10,  12.04, or bust lunxuz3r
[06:16] <tweak> pivotraze: one sec gotta lspci
[06:16] <pivotraze> Way better than my 1.6GHz Dual core :p and k
[06:16] <aking1012> @tweak there's no reason that should be sluggish
[06:17] <pivotraze> aking1012: That's what I'm thinking. And if CPU/RAM is nice, GPU probably will be
[06:17] <tweak> pivotraze:  ATI Radeon HD4200
[06:17] <aking1012> i do use binary drivers for nvidia and ati cards though
[06:17] <mathew> quit
[06:17] <pivotraze> tweak: Binary drivers in that ATI?
[06:17] <zykotick9> tweak, get an SSD drive ;)
[06:17] <pivotraze> zykotick9: Heh. I want one :) Honestly, I want an SSD only for system tho.
[06:17] <aking1012> smh...  SSD... smh
[06:17] <pivotraze> HDD for games, etc...
[06:17] <tweak> pivotraze: yeah using propriatary
[06:18] <tweak> zykotick9: a what ;p
[06:18] <mynotes> !bin
[06:18] <pivotraze> tweak: Then there is *no* reason for that to be sluggish XD Did u try the two links I sent?
[06:18] <ActionParsnip> just get a tonne of ram and it will be used as disk cache. Faster than the SSD :)
[06:18] <pivotraze> tweak: A Solid State Drive. I think 10x (or more?) the speed of a normal Hard Dis kDrive on average.
[06:18] <tweak> pivotraze: ok let me check it out, i have them open
[06:19] <pivotraze> ActionParsnip: What if you've maxed your ram at 2GB :D
[06:19] <pivotraze> tweak: Iight.
[06:19] <ActionParsnip> pivotraze: yeah I have that too
[06:20] <mukkugolla> any help for my problem ...
[06:20] <mynotes> hello i have simple problem connecting on server using sshfs  here some info http://pastebin.com/RTUKiws3
[06:20] <zykotick9> tweak, if you want to "upgrade" you system, get an SSD hard drive - the overall speedup of your box is amazing!
[06:20] <pivotraze> ActionParsnip: Heh. I have a 2007 laptop. Gateway MX8734. Maxed out at 2GB of ram, Realtek RTL8187 wireless card (my Belkin N1 still isn't working), 1.6GHz dual core processor. Ah, it's a beauty :) And sorry mukkugolla I really don't know what to say here. I haven't heard of that happening.
[06:21] <pivotraze> zykotick9: Not many people really want to spend money to upgrade :p
[06:21] <pivotraze> I know I dont
[06:21] <pivotraze> ... yet.
[06:21] <pivotraze> Only one thing I do not like about linux: Zune HD doesn't work with it :)
[06:21] <ActionParsnip> pivotraze: I'm on a 1.6Ghz single core sempron AM2 with 2Gb DDR2 RAM (maxed) and onboard nvidia 6150lE   running well but is slowly dying
[06:22] <tweak> zykotick9: ill have to check that out. i do have a 1tb sata drive its pretty deecent
[06:22] <zykotick9> tweak, lol ;)  SSD (high speed) is crazy
[06:22] <pivotraze> ActionParsnip: Mine is dying. RTL8187 used to be BEAUTIFUL back in 2009, 5 bar connection everywhere, fast... But now it gets 3bar at max, and spurts of 4bar amazingly... but is slow, and if I don't type "iwconfig wlan0 rate 5.5M fixed" at each boot (or put in rc.local) then it wont work.  It's freaking supported in the ath9k driver! It should work *out of the box* .-.
[06:23] <ActionParsnip> pivotraze: add the command in /etc/rc.local   above the exit 0 line, and it will run automagically at boot
[06:24] <Jordan_U> tweak: pivotraze: I would personally not bother with generic "speed up Ubuntu" guides. I am generally skeptical of them and it sounds like your system should not be sluggish, i.e. something is wrong which should be fixed and will continue to be your bottleneck even if you would normally gain a little from the small generic tweaks.
[06:24] <pivotraze> ActionParsnip: Yeah, I usually do. Just been to focused on my Belkin card to care yet. :) I want it to work cause it is wireless n over wireless bg
[06:25] <pivotraze> Jordan_U: I agree. But it doesn't hurt to help. It does effect my system and make it better on ubuntu. But without something on 4GB ram 3GHz processor... it should not be slow. ever. anytime. even with windows *snickers*
[06:25] <tweak> Jordan_U: yeah if i could figure out why it was slow ;p
[06:25] <mynotes> anyone have an idea
[06:25] <pivotraze> tweak: When was Ubuntu (11.10?) installed last?
[06:25] <pivotraze> was it a fresh install from 11.04 or an actual upgrade?
[06:25] <tntc> pivotraze: I've noticed that dash's menu blurring makes dash feel sluggish
[06:25] <tweak> pivotraze: maybe a month? yeah fressh install
[06:26] <mynotes> : hello i have simple problem connecting on server using sshfs  here some info http://pastebin.com/RTUKiws3
[06:26] <pivotraze> tntc: That's odd. It works great for me. :)
[06:26] <tntc> when I disabled the blur via Compizconfigsettingsmanager, it worked fine.
[06:26] <pivotraze> tweak: Huh. I am lost as for the reason why it is so bad.
[06:26] <tntc> pivotraze: well, this was with a generic intel card. The 945 or something?
[06:26] <tntc> when I use my nvidia card on my desktop, it's fine.
[06:26] <basilic> hello all
[06:26] <pivotraze> tntc: I have The Intel 945gm (which is actually called the Intel GMA 950 but honest mistakes). It works great (oddly)
[06:26] <pivotraze> hi basilic
[06:26] <basilic> this morning I have lost the DNS resolution
[06:27] <pivotraze> basilic: Network Manager -> Change the DNS servers on eth0 or wlan0 (or whatever ur connection is called) to <IP_ADDRESS> as primary and <IP_ADDRESS> as secondary. :)
[06:27] <pivotraze> Should work fine
[06:27] <pivotraze> which reminds me...
[06:27] <basilic> I have try to ping google, without sucess, I have take the IP by an other computer and I can ping, I write the IP in firefox and it's work...
[06:28] <pivotraze> basilic: do what I said, and it should work fine. Usually fixes dns problems for me.
[06:28] <tntc> pivotraze: nevermind. it's the one integrated with my core i7. not sure what model that is.
[06:29] <pivotraze> tntc: Ah. That's even odder. It probably has one of the Intel HD graphics cards... which are way better than the intel gma 950...
[06:29] <tweak> pivotraze: Jordan_U: ActionParsnip: ok guys thanks for the tips at least :)
[06:29] <pivotraze> tweak: Sorry we (i?) couldn't help! :) Tried my hardest
[06:29] <ActionParsnip> basilic: manually set DNS in network manager, set the interface to DHCP address only and set the DNS server to: <IP_ADDRESS>, <IP_ADDRESS>
[06:29] <tweak> pivotraze: no worries. maybe i check my log files for errors
[06:29] <Jordan_U> tweak: You're welcome.
[06:29] <tntc> pivotraze: I'm not sure how that blur works though. isn't it also there and active in unity 2d?
[06:30] <pivotraze> tweak: yeah. And take a good look at Xorg.0.log :)
[06:30] <basilic> I don't have the network manager
[06:30] <pivotraze> tntc: I don't think it is in Unity 2d, correct me if I am wrong. It does use Compiz tho (as you found through ccsm)
[06:30] <basilic> Or I'm no realy weak up...
[06:30] <pivotraze> basilic: what do u use? Wicd?
[06:31] <basilic> I use anything for the network, 2 ways, I have a DHCP and I don't have configure anything, or I have manualy configure
[06:31] <pivotraze> Everyone: You know what I miss from when I was on Arch? netcfg.
[06:32] <pivotraze> basilic: Can you get access to the router? If so, change it in there. It should roughly do the saem
[06:32] <pivotraze> same
[06:32] <basilic> the router if the internet acess box I can change any thing in this, and the other computer don't have any problem
[06:35] <pivotraze> welp, I'm off to bed (after testing wow haha) nite all!
[06:36] <sancas> how can i add a shortcut for show my desktop in 11.10
[06:36] <basilic> I have erase the server name in the resolve file
[06:36] <basilic> I have erase the server name in the resolve file
[06:36] <ActionParsnip> sancas: default is CTRL+ALT+D
[06:36] <basilic> what I can update the network connexion?
[06:36] <sancas> oh thks
[06:36] <nac-godfather> #anyone know an op at #aircrack-ng?
[06:36] <betanick> i installed phpmyadmin using apt-get and now i can access it by adding /phpmyadmin to the end of mydomain.com. how/where is this configured?
[06:37] <ActionParsnip> sancas: you can change it, but that is default
[06:38] <clyde> hi...complete newb here,what's the best way to explore ubuntu?
[06:38] <DoctorTruth> where would be the best place to ask about getting a windows based program to work. I need to get the London Drugs photobook creation software via internet to work in ubuntu as they only have support for windows and mac. anyone know how
[06:38] <betanick> clyde: explore?
[06:39] <clyde> and is there a help channel for beginners?
[06:39] <betanick> DoctorTruth: have you tried using wine?
[06:39] <clyde> i have recently installed ubuntu....today,just trying to navigate it
[06:39] <DoctorTruth> yes but encountered problems after install
[06:40] <DoctorTruth> betanick^
[06:40] <clyde> am familiar with win7,but this is completely new to me
[06:41] <ActionParsnip> clyde: what are you trying to achieve?
[06:41] <chromaticwt> how can I format a usb with ext4, disabling journaling?
[06:41] <betanick> clyde: "channel for beginners?" - this channel or google
[06:41] <linuxuz3r> how do you get gnome extensions working
[06:41] <betanick> clyde: what are you trying to accomplish?
[06:41] <ActionParsnip> chromaticwt: ext4 is journalized. if you don't want a journal use ext2
[06:41] <betanick> DoctorTruth: any error msgs?
[06:42] <clyde> as i understand it so far,anti-virus isn't required with ubuntu?
[06:42] <chromaticwt> I thought that ext4 could be specified without journaling though?
[06:42] <ActionParsnip> linuxuz3r: http://mygeekopinions.blogspot.com/2011/04/install-gnome-shell-extensions-expand.html
[06:42] <DoctorTruth> I think so, it was a few days ago when I tried it
[06:42] <ActionParsnip> !av | clyde
[06:43] <betanick> DoctorTruth: can you try it again and paste any error msgs?
[06:43] <DoctorTruth> ok
[06:43] <clyde> ok,thank you....i obviously have no clue as yet..:)
[06:43] <ActionParsnip> chromaticwt: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext4  it needs the journal
[06:43] <ActionParsnip> clyde: you'll learn
[06:43] <betanick> clyde: virtual machine?
[06:44] <clyde> i downloaded ubuntu for windows and just exploring ubuntu at present
[06:45] <clyde> not familiar with virtual machine,though
[06:45] <betanick> clyde: google virtual box
[06:46] <ActionParsnip> !virtualbox
[06:46] <ActionParsnip> !google | betanick
[06:46] <pwuertz> n
[06:46] <clyde> ok,thank you....i can access web pages ok,so i'll do a bit of research there too
[06:53] <sancas> how can i make a launch for show my desktop?
[06:58] <betanick> DoctorTruth: you there?
[06:58] <zykotick9> sanbar, excellent question ;)
[06:59] <DoctorTruth> betanick - it seems to be the java runtime - jre-6u12-windows-i586-p.exe causing the issues
[06:59] <betanick> DoctorTruth: jre-6u12-windows-i586-p.exe = Java Runtime Environment
[06:59] <betanick> DoctorTruth: you shouldn't need wine to run a java app you just need java
[06:59] <zykotick9> DoctorTruth, consider using openjava...
[07:00] <ActionParsnip> DoctorTruth: you want the .bin file, not the exe
[07:00] <sagarchalise> DoctorTruth, just install default-jre from software center
[07:01] <DoctorTruth> ok i'll try it
[07:01] <betanick> DoctorTruth: London Drugs photobook creation software is an exe? if so try to extract it
[07:02] <ianm_> anything I can do with a machine that won't boot due to ext4 problem short of a livecd/usbstick?
[07:03] <DoctorTruth> it appears as though I have the jre from synaptics already
[07:04] <ActionParsnip> DoctorTruth: cd; wget http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/7u1-b08/jre-7u1-linux-i586.tar.gz; sudo mkdir /usr/lib/jvm; cd /usr/lib/jvm; sudo mv jre-7u1-linux-i586.tar.gz .; tar zxvf ./jre-7u1-linux-i586.tar.gz ; rm ./jre-7u1-linux-i586.tar.gz; sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/lib/jvm/jre1.7.0_01/bin/java 71; sudo update-alternatives --config java
[07:04] <ActionParsnip> DoctorTruth: works here :)

[07:09] <zykotick9> amin`, vlc sucks ;)
[07:09] <amin`> zykotick9, somehow I agree !
[07:09] <ActionParsnip> amin`: light, its a terminal based vlc, you can use mplayer or aplay too
[07:10] <zykotick9> mplayer ftw ;)
[07:10] <ActionParsnip> mplayer is the daddy

[07:16] <ActionParsnip> linuxuz3r: mind you, I'm on Precise here
[07:16] <crizzy> which means you don't have any extensions installed, simply put

[07:21] <pythonirc101> now it wont work
[07:22] <pythonirc101> i think the problem is that the new card shows up as eth1 and the previous one showed up as eth0
[07:22] <pythonirc101> is there a gui to look at network settings

[07:25] <pythonirc101> ActionParsnip: Doesnt help
[07:25] <pythonirc101> I tried both NAT and Bridged
[07:25] <ActionParsnip> pythonirc101: http://opensourceexperiments.files.wordpress.com/2008/04/adapter-0-setting-gui-of-vm2.jpg
[07:25] <ActionParsnip> pythonirc101: you will need to boot the box to test the different hardware
[07:26] <psyclone> ActionParsnip: It is ext3 filesystem
[07:26] <ActionParsnip> psyclone: have you fsck'd it?
[07:26] <pythonirc101> thats old...4.1.6's ui doesnt look like that
[07:26] <ActionParsnip> psyclone: bad superblock implies a bad data system
[07:26] <psyclone> ActionParsnip: no, and there is sensitive data on there i cannot lose
[07:27] <ActionParsnip> pythonirc101: jeez, it;s the same sort of place. You get the idea even if its not 100%the same don't you
[07:27] <ActionParsnip> psyclone: why don't you have a backup?
[07:27] <pythonirc101> ActionParsnip: The problem with me is to fix ubuntu to work with vbox's interface...
[07:27] <pythonirc101> not the other way round...because i cud make work redhat and suse on the same interface
[07:27] <ActionParsnip> pythonirc101: try all the options there, if it'sno good I suggest you ask in #vbox too
[07:27] <pythonirc101> and clearly just changing the type of the interface doesnt work with ubuntu
[07:28] <pythonirc101> i came from vbox
[07:28] <pythonirc101> since no one knew there...and others have the same problem
[07:28] <ActionParsnip> pythonirc101: run:  dmesg | less     and scroll through, se if the device is detected
[07:29] <pythonirc101> renamed network interface eth0 to eth1?
[07:29] <pythonirc101> dmesg has tht line
[07:29] <ActionParsnip> pythonirc101: does eth1 have an IP?
[07:29] <pythonirc101> nope
[07:29] <pythonirc101> want dhcp
[07:30] <ActionParsnip> pythonirc101: try:  sudo dhclient3 eth1
[07:31] <kanhiya> suggest me a good downloader for ubuntu which can integrate with Firefox or chrome
[07:31] <jjman6> i can't get kdenlive to record via webcam. it doesn't seem to connect. i confirmed its on /dev/video0 the default works fine in other apps
[07:31] <kanhiya> I am having a slow internet & need to resume lot of times
[07:31] <unkr> kanhiya: use wget   or jdownloader
[07:32] <ActionParsnip> kanhiya: jdownloader, fatrat, uget
[07:32] <kanhiya> unkr: Thanks, let me taste them
[07:32] <pythonirc101> ActionParsnip: it started working...what does dhclient3 eth1 do? how can i make it permanent so that it works at boot?
[07:32] <unkr> kanhiya : :)
[07:32] <pythonirc101> ActionParsnip: Thanks.
[07:33] <ActionParsnip> pythonirc101: add it in /etc/rc.local    above the exit 0 line,   add:   dhclient3 eth1 &      and it will run at boot as root
[07:33] <pythonirc101> reboot
[07:33] <pythonirc101> oops, sorry, that command was for the vm :)
[07:33] <ActionParsnip> pythonirc101: suprised you didn't check dmesg yourself...
[07:33] <pythonirc101> ActionParsnip: even if i had, i wudnt know about dhclient3 eth1
[07:33] <pythonirc101> what does it do?
[07:34] <ActionParsnip> pythonirc101: guess, secret is in the name
[07:41] <linuxuz3r> hey
[07:42] <linuxuz3r> how do i enable dual display on ubuntu
[07:49] <darshan_> hello everyone...i want to see some errors occured in error.log file in my ubuntu server edition pc..so for that i need to copy or transfer or share it from windows pc..how should i do this
[07:50] <ActionParsnip> darshan_: http://pastie.org
[07:50] <pvh_sa> does anyone know how to trace what is happening on desktop startup? the reason i ask is that i've got tracker and tracker-miner-fs in /etc/xdg/autostart but they don't start on login, wondering if there is a log somewhere
[07:50] <ActionParsnip> darshan_: you can copy the file to a removale media or to the NTFS partition if you dual boot
[07:50] <ActionParsnip> pvh_sa: look in /var/log maybe
[07:51] <ndairou> hi all
[07:51] <pvh_sa> ActionParsnip, nothing there that i can see.
[07:51] <ActionParsnip> gah
[07:51] <darshan_> actionparsnip-no i two different pc ,for windows and ubuntu both r in different their own pc
[07:51] <ndairou> help
[07:52] <ActionParsnip> darshan_: then a removablemedia will do it, like a usb stick etc.Or you can pastebin from CLI with pastebinit and it will generate a URL (assuming it has web access)
[07:52] <ndairou> i'd like to change the star up animation of my ubuntu, hw to process?
[07:53] <kanhiya> how to know that Jdownloader is running or not

[07:53] <unkr> darshan_, login as root do     ./jd.sh
[07:54] <ActionParsnip> darshan_: you can then run:  pastebinit /path/to/file   and it will make a link online and give it you in the terminal
[07:54] <tonyyarusso> darshan_: Full sentences with properly spelled out words will get you much more coherent help than pre-teen text-speak.
[07:54] <unkr> darshan_, do sudo ./jd.sh
[07:54] <darshan_> tonyyarusso-not move ,i need to copy it windows pc and then post it to commity,they want to exactly see wats d error is
[07:54] <ActionParsnip> kanhiya: how did you install jdownloader?
[07:55] <darshan_> unkr-wat will it do
[07:55] <kanhiya> ActionParsnip: Using 10.10 ppa
[07:55] <ActionParsnip> kanhiya: you mean ppa:jd-team/jdownloader ?
[07:55] <SomeoneWeirdTAFE> How can I find a file that has specific text in it?
[07:55] <ndairou> i'm waitin for the help
[07:55] <kanhiya> ActionParsnip: I read some guidelines on internet
[07:55] <ActionParsnip> SomeoneWeirdTAFE: grep -R text /path/to/search
[07:56] <SomeoneWeirdTAFE> ahhh cheers ActionParsnip
[07:56] <kanhiya> ActionParsnip: Let me check that page again
[07:56] <ActionParsnip> kanhiya: that ppa will install jdownloader for you
[07:56] <kanhiya> ActionParsnip: Installed and appear in the dash menu, but not runnning
[07:56] <ActionParsnip> kanhiya: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jd-team/jdownloader; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install jdownloader
[07:56] <jasonmsp> SomeoneWeirdTAFE:  find . | xargs -n1 grep -li textstring (where the . is the path you want to search)
[07:57] <linuxuz3r> how do i enable multiple displays in ubuntu
[07:57] <linuxuz3r> !dual display
[07:57] <unkr> kanhiya,   i told you do  sudo ./jd.sh
[07:57] <SomeoneWeirdTAFE> Also in bash is it possible to change relative directories to absolute ones?
[07:57] <ActionParsnip> kanhiya: http://jdownloader.org/knowledge/wiki/addons/list/firefox-addon    this will plug firefox into the app (or you can use the webui)
[07:57] <jasonmsp> hey all...  I use nano for editing and there is a way to colorize the text within it.  when I edit some .conf files they are colored, others are not.
[07:57] <ndairou> hw to change the starup  animation of 11.04?
[07:58] <ActionParsnip> linuxuz3r: which GPU??
[07:58] <kanhiya> ActionParsnip: Thanks
[07:58] <tiktalik> i was told I need to install my kernel headers...how do I do that? :V
[07:58] <ActionParsnip> ndairou: there are plymouth themes in the repo
[07:58] <SomeoneWeirdTAFE> anyone?
[07:58] <jasonmsp> for example fail2ban.conf is not colorized but all the nano color configuration files are?!?
[07:58] <ndairou> hw do i get it?
[07:58] <jasonmsp> SomeoneWeirdTAFE: patience....
[07:59] <ActionParsnip> tiktalik: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic
[07:59] <SomeoneWeirdTAFE> lol sorry jasonmsp :P
[07:59] <tiktalik> ActionParsnip: Thanks.
[07:59] <pramuka> the name of the daemon of freenx-server?
[07:59] <jasonmsp> SomeoneWeirdTAFE: absolute would be /home/me/Desktop  is that what you mean?
[07:59] <ActionParsnip> ndairou: they are packages just like any other you have installed
[07:59] <SomeoneWeirdTAFE> yes jasonmsp
[07:59] <SomeoneWeirdTAFE> so ~/ would change to /home/<user>
[07:59] <jasonmsp> SomeoneWeirdTAFE:   the top level is /
[07:59] <SomeoneWeirdTAFE> i know
[07:59] <meskalito> hi
[08:00] <jasonmsp> SomeoneWeirdTAFE:
[08:00] <meskalito> my home directory is being unmounted every 5 minutes
[08:00] <ndairou> where can i get theses packages?
[08:00] <meskalito> i have README with THIS DIRECTORY HAS BEEN UNMOUNTED TO PROTECT YOUR DATA. stuff
[08:00] <ActionParsnip> ndairou: I suggest you watch a few vids online to see how they look
[08:00] <jasonmsp> SomeoneWeirdTAFE:  open up a terminal.  type cd / and then ls to list the contents of that directory
[08:00] <meskalito> i can mount it, but it unmounts again after some minutes
[08:00] <meskalito> wtf is going on
[08:00] <jasonmsp> SomeoneWeirdTAFE: everything is found below that
[08:00] <SomeoneWeirdTAFE> jasonmsp: can you reread my question? :P
[08:00] <ActionParsnip> meskalito: i'd boot to liveCD and fsck it
[08:00] <ndairou> ok
[08:01] <pythonirc101> I'm on 11.04...is do-release-upgrade recommended?
[08:01] <issac> :q
[08:01] <ActionParsnip> ndairou: there are nice sunrise ones
[08:01] <meskalito> ActionParsnip: fsck what?
[08:01] <meskalito> home dir?
[08:01] <ActionParsnip> meskalito: the home partition
[08:01] <jasonmsp> SomeoneWeirdTAFE: try using pwd to list the directory once you arrive there as it will give it to you in absolute
[08:01] <meskalito> and why? i had no power losses etc
[08:02] <unkr> Pythonirc101: its not recomended if you are a home user but if you are very consicous about your security then you must do that   otherwise you system will still work
[08:02] <pvh_sa> ActionParsnip, ah found something. tracker was set to OnlyShowIn GNOME;KDE;XFCE; - so that's why it wasn't starting. still wish i understood the XDG stuff better.
[08:02] <SomeoneWeirdTAFE> no jasonmsp >.<
[08:02] <SomeoneWeirdTAFE> dw.
[08:02] <jasonmsp> dw = doesn't work?
[08:03] <pythonirc101> till when will my 11.04 last? (package updates wise)?
[08:03] <ActionParsnip> meskalito: something is wrong, so its good to start with the data
[08:03] <jasonmsp> SomeoneWeirdTAFE: can you pastebin what you are trying to do in sh?  I'm not an expert but it seems what you are trying to do should be pretty simple
[08:03] <unkr> Pythonirc101:  it will not be last  atleast 5-6 year
[08:04]  * amin` wants to exchange some info with whom ever uses WMFS (ASAP)
[08:06] <meskalito> ActionParsnip: is it possible to fsck it from live system?
[08:06] <meskalito> why do i need to livecd?
[08:06] <ActionParsnip> meskalito: as long as the partition is unmounted, you can check it
[08:07] <ActionParsnip> meskalito: the partition MUST be unmonted to be checked,. the liveCD will mean that NONE of the internal partitions are in use
[08:07] <meskalito> ActionParsnip: um, home partition is unmounted, that's the problem
[08:08] <meskalito> why can't i check it?
[08:08] <ActionParsnip> meskalito: ifits unmounted, you can check it
[08:08] <meskalito> how
[08:10] <codeshah> hey guys I am getting fuser defunct issues on my server
[08:10] <unkr> codeshah: what is ur issue
[08:10] <ActionParsnip> meskalito: read:   man fsck
[08:11] <codeshah> after a while I have 1000s of fuser defunct processes
[08:11] <codeshah> and I have to restart the server
[08:11] <codeshah> only after ~30-40 minutes
[08:11] <codeshah> I dunno if this has to do with postfix actually because I see lots of retries
[08:15] <brjannc> codeshah: do you have php5 on that machine?
[08:15] <codeshah> yes
[08:15] <kanhiya> how to remove open jdk java
[08:16] <codeshah> brjannc:yes
[08:16] <kanhiya> i want to install java by sun
[08:16] <kanhiya> where it is in reposotiry
[08:16] <brjannc> codeshah: there's a similar report here, saying that the php5 cron job in /etc/cron.d/php5 is the cause: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1862472
[08:17] <meskalito> damn
[08:17] <meskalito> my home dir is constantly unmounting
[08:17] <meskalito> i can't work
[08:17] <meskalito> what the hell
[08:17] <codeshah> hmm weird
[08:17] <iceroot> kanhiya: sudo apt-get remove openjdk-7-jdk
[08:17] <codeshah> brjannc: thx
[08:18] <unkr> meskalito,  is the directory listed in /etc/fstab ???
[08:18] <brjannc> codeshah: here's the bug report on launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php5/+bug/877894
[08:18] <iceroot> kanhiya: ut you can also install openjdk and sun/oracle jdk
[08:18] <brjannc> codeshah: no problem; hope you find some helpful information in there :) looks like the temporary workaround is either modifying the cron job to remove the fuser call, or disabling the cron job altogether
[08:19] <kanhiya> iceroot: it is saying that it is not installed but it is appearing in the dash
[08:19] <jasef> Hey - hoping someone can tell me what stupid error I'm making here, my user is in the 'src' group, which owns /srv/cvs - and the permissions on /srv/cvs are drwxrwsr-x, but I can't add files to the CVS, it tells me permission denied. I tried using touch to make a file in the folder and the same issue - what am I missing?
[08:19] <codeshah> brjannc: what does that cron job do
[08:19] <codeshah> brjannc: I replaced it with lsof -t
[08:19] <kanhiya> iceroot: hOW TO know which version i am using
[08:20] <brjannc> codeshah: it looks like it removes old php sessions, but that's just according to that thread. i don't have any personal knowledge of php on ubuntu
[08:20] <iceroot> kanhiya: maybe you are using openjdk-6-jdk
[08:20] <codeshah> hmm
[08:20] <codeshah> k thx
[08:20] <equalizer> Hi, can someone have a look at bug 886016 and tell me what is needed to get help on this one?
[08:20] <iceroot> kanhiya: dpkg -l \*openjdk\* | grep ^ii   will show you what is installed
[08:20] <meskalito> unkr: no
[08:20] <meskalito> it's my home dir

[08:27] <meskalito> unkr: netbeans began throwing 'not found' errors
[08:27] <meskalito> then i look into home dir and there is README and some other txt file
[08:27] <meskalito> which tells me that it was unmounted to protect my data
[08:27] <meskalito> i can mount it again with ecryptfs-mount-private , but after some times it unmounts again
[08:28] <meskalito> is it a virus?
[08:28] <unkr> meskalito, can you access you home directory now ???
[08:29] <meskalito> unkr: yes, it works when i mount it again
[08:29] <meskalito> but after 5-10 minutes it unmounts again
[08:29] <meskalito> by itself
[08:30] <unkr> meskalito, check any entries for umount  in /var/log  files      may be in /var/log/messages
[08:30] <walle> xdg-user-dirs-gtk-update how to re pop out?
[08:30] <unkr> meskalito, search for any entries that is telling about why it is umount

[08:37] <unkr> meskalito,   generally we messed with the setting and then system get corrupted
[08:37] <unkr> meskalito, that make the problem
[08:37] <kanhiya> meskalito: Normally you don't need a antivirus on LInux
[08:38] <kanhiya> I never used
