[08:05] <C0oL> hi guys
[08:05] <C0oL> can I ask a quick question?
[08:05] <attj> thanks, that failsafe helped. Now i can see the desktop :)
[08:05] <zykotick9> bullgard6, i'm afraid alex_under attempt to use a 3rd party ALSA may be difficult to correct.  How to uninstall that 3rd party version may be non-trivial.
[08:06] <C0oL> is it possible to install a distro upgrade from an iso file on a netbook?
[08:06] <Moshanator> !ask > C0ol
[08:07] <attj> still the screen is flashing and it has been split half at wrong place (i can see the right end of screen middle of the screen. and left end of screen also middle of the screen)
[08:07] <rokra> Hi someone can help me to configure my printer? I m getting some error
[08:07] <GreenCloud> hi, i have an extra pc and i would like to try setup an ssh server so i can offer free shell accounf for my friends. what do i need to do?
[08:08] <rokra> My printer seems to be configured but it is not working and localhost:631 show me unable to connect
[08:08] <the_p> hi. i try to install kubuntu i have a problem with the installer. the x-server settings seem to be wrong i can't see the full screen. it is cropped at the borders such that i can't see the relevant menu any more. Can i change this somehow?
[08:08] <zykotick9> GreenCloud, install ubuntu, install openssh-server, forward port 22 on your router to the machine - "should" be about it.
[08:09] <fasta> zykotick9: what is the point of the /etc/shadow- file?
[08:09] <C0oL>  is it possible to install a distro upgrade from an iso file on a netbook?
[08:09] <zykotick9> fasta, I'm not sure what the shadow- does?
[08:10] <GreenCloud> zykotick9: so you mean i also need to configure my router for this?
[08:10] <zykotick9> GreenCloud, yes
[08:10] <neokx> hello
[08:11] <neokx> is help chanel
[08:11] <neokx> ?
[08:11] <Thelmaria> Can I resize / without using a livecd?
[08:11] <urlin2u> Thelmaria, linux no windows 7 yes
[08:12] <Thelmaria> urlin2u: Thanks
[08:12] <urlin2u> Thelmaria, the partion your using can't be resized
[08:12] <neokx> how can i get ubuntu
[08:12] <urlin2u> Thelmaria, others can though
[08:12] <zykotick9> neokx, http://www.ubuntu.com/
[08:12] <Thelmaria> urlin2u: No fancy way to unmount it while running it? I should have enough ram to hold most of the running things.
[08:13] <urlin2u> Thelmaria, nah would be nice though
[08:13] <zykotick9> Thelmaria, not gonna happen
[08:13] <neokx> i have thist problem for more information plaese see the log file:
[08:13] <neokx> c:users usuario appdata local temp wubi-9.04-rev211.log
[08:13] <neokx> i can not instal
[08:13] <neokx> sorry i dont speak good english
[08:14] <zykotick9> neokx, what is your native language?
[08:14] <urlin2u> neokx, you trying to install 9.04 as a wubi?
[08:14] <neokx> español
[08:14] <zykotick9> !es | neokx
[08:14] <neokx> im o ready on that chanel
[08:14] <neokx> no one answer
[08:15] <Thelmaria> urlin2u, zykotick9 - heh, figured. Thanks though :)
[08:16] <neokx> i just trying to get in ubuntu
[08:16] <zykotick9> neokx, 9.04 is no longer supported, you should download a newer (supported) version of ubuntu.  But Wubi is junk IN MY OPINION ONLY!
[08:16] <urlin2u> lol I'm with you
[08:16] <neokx> i traing whit 11.04 version
[08:16] <neokx> and is the same problem
[08:17] <neokx> i tink is because i have windows 7
[08:18] <hellhammer> If im running gnome 3 in ubuntu 10.04 is there a way i can revert back to ubuntu 2?
[08:18] <urlin2u> neokx, have you looked at the wubi page?  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide
[08:18] <zykotick9> hellhammer, reinstall ;)
[08:18] <alex_under> zykotick9: what happens if I remove ubuntu-desktop
[08:18] <hellhammer> If im running gnome 3 in ubuntu 10.04 is there a way i can revert back to gnome 2?
[08:18] <alex_under> zykotick9: and reinstall it again ?
[08:19] <alex_under> zykotick9: do I lose personal data ?
[08:19] <zykotick9> alex_under, most likely you'll uninstall a LOT of packages
[08:19] <attj> Niice :) now ubuntu started, thank you very much :)
[08:19] <zykotick9> alex_under, no personal data lose no
[08:19] <Yakooza> hello
[08:19] <alex_under> zykotick9: it will restore system to default ?
[08:19] <attj> I installed ati-drivers on failsafe graphic mode and it worked out
[08:19] <neokx> yes im o ready look on that web
[08:19] <zykotick9> alex_under, no
[08:19] <Yakooza> when trying to boot i get an error "Unable to boot operating system"
[08:20] <Yakooza> I think this may be the Win xp setup though, how can I change the active partition in Ubuntu?
[08:20] <neokx> is so hard to install
[08:20] <zykotick9> alex_under, uninstall/reinstall typically doesn't do much (if anything) on gnu/linux boxes
[08:20] <oooaaaooo> urlin2u: hey another question. so i have the passphrase for a certain encrypted volume, and i would likt to mount it so that i can access all of the data within it. Would the following be sufficient: "sudo mount -t ecryptfs  XXX.desktop" ?
[08:21] <urlin2u> oooaaaooo, I only know how far we have gotten, not trying to mount it.
[08:21] <dyzioziom> ;)
[08:21] <alex_under> zybotick9: so what are my options/
[08:22] <zykotick9> !tab > alex_under
[08:22] <urlin2u> Yakooza, ycan you give some back info on the problem, like installation orders and the actual ubuntu your using.
[08:22] <zykotick9> alex_under, ? don't know - you could try the (what alsa did you install?) support, if they have any.  But you may need to end up backing up your data a reinstalling I'm afriad (i hope not)
[08:23] <neokx> yakooza left
[08:23] <neokx> quit
[08:23] <datruth> Is there a stress or nessus test for openvpn?
[08:23] <alex_under> zykotick9.. now x server stopped working too..
[08:23] <alex_under> :(
[08:24] <zykotick9> alex_under, installing things from outside ubuntu's repos can lead to a lot of problems (just something to think about for next time)
[08:27] <kz3> when I put Ubuntu 10.04 disc and boot up...and when I click on "Install Ubuntu" nothing happens...what should I do?
[08:27] <neokx> i find ubuntu mexico
[08:27] <StaticPhilly> kz3: kick it
[08:27] <StaticPhilly> kz3: sorry, have you tryed another disk~?
[08:27] <neokx> but no one answer hehehe
[08:27] <neokx> bad luck
[08:28] <kz3> StaticPhilly:  ubuntu 11.04 disc was working fine
[08:28] <StaticPhilly> kz3: yea but have you tryed burning another 10.04 disk just in case it was a bad burn
[08:28] <zykotick9> kz3, you could try to use "Try Ubuntu" and see if the install on the desktop works
[08:28] <kz3>  zykotick9: try ubuntu also doesnt work :(
[08:29] <kz3> StaticPhilly: I will try another burn
[08:29] <the_p> hi. is there a possibility to change the x-server settings for the installer during the installation?
[08:29] <zykotick9> kz3, md5 check your ISO before burning
[08:29] <urlin2u> kz3, tap the shift key when powering on hit f6 at the gui, for try ubuntu, choose nomodeset and boot from there
[08:30] <bullgard6> What does the 2nd field of the status bar of OO.o Base designate?
[08:31] <zykotick9> bullgard6, have you tried asking in #Openoffice.org
[08:31] <oooaaaooo> HI guys i need help mounting an encrytped file system. I have the passphrase , just not sure how to use it to kount the filesystem
[08:31] <StaticPhilly> im using nfs4, for some reason why i copy large amounts of files the wireless dies on the client, plus it copys real slow, any ideas?
[08:31] <bullgard6> zykotick9: Yes.
[08:33] <kz3> urlin2u: tapping shift ask me "load boot graphics (y/n)?" what should I do?
[08:35] <urlin2u> kz3, not sure what that is a gui should show choose yes and try the f6 option.
[08:35] <genniii> I am just bumbling around trying to figure out what IRC is.... so hello whoever
[08:36] <genniii> I didnt know ther were f options lol
[08:36] <urlin2u> kz3, I think with omeiric any key works
[08:36] <kz3> urlin2u: after choosing nomodeset still the things are sma
[08:36] <kz3> *same
[08:37] <urlin2u> hmm not sure then you have the daily live cd
[08:37] <kz3> urlin2u:  I have the live CD
[08:38] <neokx> ok
[08:38] <urlin2u> kz3, as others suggested checking the ISO is a good idea  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM
[08:40] <urlin2u> kz3, sorry I had you mixed up with a user in ubuntu+1, as far as a daily release or oneiric mention
[08:41] <kz3> urlin2u: leave it dude, I will download again 10.04 and burn it again
[08:42] <zykotick9> kz3, why download it again?  check the iso you already have (if you still have it).
[08:48] <kz3> urlin2u: I deleted the ISO after downloading....downloading it again

[09:38] <tar-gz> Hi!
[09:38] <tar-gz> Somebody can help me? http://wklej.org/id/585916/
[09:41] <anonissimus> Is there a way I can mount my drives on boot based on drive id instead of /dev/sd**
[09:43] <rhin0> make an nfs mount?  you can create an nfs mount which mounts a volume of the same machine anonissimus
[09:43] <rhin0> so you create what is in effect a symbolic mount point
[09:43] <anonissimus> will performance be the same?
[09:44] <rhin0> its just a volume yes it's the same -- I don't think you can reference /dev/sda1 for example you can reference a mapped volume ... yes it is the same
[09:44] <rhin0> set up your exports file with localhost or <IP_ADDRESS> as the machine to export to
[09:44] <oCean> anonissimus: you can mount your drives specifying the UUID in /etc/fstab
[09:44] <rhin0> /etc/exports
[09:45] <oCean> anonissimus: are you talking about NFS?
[09:45] <oCean> illogic: don't spam in here
[09:45] <rhin0> I suggested he use nfs to create the desired mount points oCean
[09:45] <anonissimus> oCean: no regular drives
[09:45] <oCean> rhin0: I don't see why
[09:45] <oCean> anonissimus: sure, using the UUID is default way ubuntu identifies drives
[09:46] <anonissimus> mounting based on UUID is what I was looking for
[09:46] <rhin0> his original question - he wants to give drives his own id
[09:46] <illogic> oCean, sorry i thought people in here would be intrested
[09:46] <oCean> anonissimus: run   sudo blkid to identify your UUID / drives
[09:46] <oCean> illogic: you can try #ubuntu-offtopic, this is support only
[09:46] <anonissimus> oCean: thanks
[09:47] <illogic> oCean, can i private message you ?
[09:47] <oCean> illogic: sure
[09:50] <RB__> how to get system properties by using terminal ?
[09:50] <anonissimus> oCean: it looks like this will work flawlessly
[09:51] <anonissimus> reboot
[09:51] <Slart> RB__: what kind of properties?
[09:52] <bullgard6>  How can I make that the program man does show the text of the manuals colorful?
[09:53] <RB__> properties like "which ubuntu version is it or how much ram is install in this system etc
[09:54] <oCean> RB__: there are several ways. lsb_release -a shows release information, lspci, lsusb, lshw etc give information on your hardware configuration
[09:54] <Slart> bullgard6: this page is about slackware.. but it might be useful on ubuntu as well.. give it a try http://humanreadable.nfshost.com/sdeg/colorized_manpages.htm
[09:55] <Pang5> heloo all @ how a simple way to change *.tar.bz into *.deb..?
[09:56] <th0r> Pang5: there is no easy way
[09:56] <Pang5> th0r; thanks
[09:56] <Slart> Pang5: tried checkinstall?
[09:57] <Pang5> slart; ok
[09:57] <Slart> !checkinstall | Pang5
[09:57] <Aquix> Don't think checkinstall can make deb, just install like it was a deb
[09:58] <Slart> Aquix: it creates a deb .. not sure if it installs it as well.. but it definately creates the deb-file
[09:59] <th0r> Slart: but first you have to undo the tar.bz, configure, and compile. Which, I think, takes it out of the easy category <smile>
[10:00] <Slart> th0r: well.. the second you include "compile" in the instructions we're out of easy-land, if you ask me =)
[10:00] <Aquix> Slart -  http://www.webupd8.org/2010/01/how-to-create-deb-package-ubuntu-debian.html
[10:01] <Slart> Pang5: check the link from Aquix above
[10:01] <th0r> Slart: right, and Pang5's initial question I suspect he doesn't realize what all is in that tar.bz
[10:01] <damno> terminal is behaving odd
[10:01] <Pang5> ok thanks all, i go to the link <smile>
[10:02] <Slart> th0r: correct.. might be a binary skype client or something
[10:02] <damno> I cant tab complete any file even if am in the right directory and going through the right spelling
[10:02] <oooaaaooo> Hi guys need help with mounting an ecryptfs filesystem
[10:04] <RB__> i'm using 11.04 but i don't know that current  Ubuntu is 32-bit or 64-bit  because i have install it inside the window
[10:05] <damno> anybody?
[10:05] <oCean> RB__: uname -m will tell whether you use 32 or 64bit ubuntu
[10:07] <RB__> thank u oCean
[10:07] <RB__> can i ask something more ?
[10:10] <oCean> RB__: sure
[10:11] <Slart> !xmms
[10:13] <zteam> Hi
[10:13] <zteam> just tried to install wargus
[10:14] <RB__> i have install Ubuntu thorough website directly and i want 32 bit Ubuntu but my current Ubuntu is 64 bit
[10:14] <zteam> after extracting the DATA-files from Warcraft 2 wargus says I need to extract them
[10:15] <RB__> it is because there were no option to select 32 or 64 bit user
[10:20] <oCean> RB__: you used this method? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/NetbootInstallFromInternet
[10:21] <vibhav> hi
[10:26] <bullgard6> Slart: Excellent. --  Thank you very much for your help. It works.
[10:27] <alex--> I was yesterday being told to create a recovery dvd of my windows. How to do this?
[10:27] <nitin__> hi
[10:28] <nitin__> can any1 tell me how to chat here ?
[10:28] <oCean> nitin__: you're already talking. Do you have a support question?
[10:28] <zhiwei> hi, there is no ibus icon on my top panel, I often restart ibus-daemon, and then the ibus icon comes up.
[10:28] <oCean> alex--: I'd say that would be more of a ##windows question
[10:28] <nitin__> what is Smuxi all about.. does it have any chat rooms ?
[10:30] <Slart> bullgard6: you're welcome
[10:30] <oCean> nitin__: this is ubuntu support only. I think there is a smuxi channel, no idea if it's active though.. type  /join #smuxi
[10:36] <mang0> Martinp23 what on earth are you on abuot

[10:38] <ttl-> oh
[10:38] <ttl-> :)
[10:39] <xlq> I've got a splitting headache.
[10:50] <vyadhaka> should I go with 11.04 or stick with 10.04
[10:51] <oCean> vyadhaka: that's difficult for others to tell. Download a CD, and try the live option
[10:51] <vyadhaka> i am going to install ubuntu on a laptop with lvm+luks
[10:52] <ionite> can anyone help me? I cannot detect my external HDD on /dev
[10:52] <ionite> i got this message: [sdb]  Result: hostbyte=DID_NO_CONNECT driverbyte=DRIVER_OK
[10:52] <YankDownUnder> vyadhaka, STick with 10.04 or upgrade to 10.10...less hassle...
[10:52] <vyadhaka> oCean: i tried the live version, interface is different, that's all I could tell.
[10:52] <th0r> ionite: if it is sdb then it is already identified in /dev
[10:53] <YankDownUnder> vyadhaka, More to the picture than meets the eye...
[10:53] <ionite> th0r: but /dev doesnt show
[10:53] <anonissimus> ionite: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-922372.html
[10:53] <vyadhaka> YankDownUnder: thanks, yes thats the word i was looking for less hassle, life's too short to keep fixing stuff
[10:53] <oCean> vyadhaka: it's still up to you to make the actual choice
[10:53] <th0r> ionite: what is it you expect /dev to show?
[10:53] <oCean> vyadhaka: using kubuntu 11.04 I have no issues whatsoever
[10:54] <YankDownUnder> vyadhaka, Just telling you from a "paid and practical" perspective mate. Cheers.
[10:54] <vyadhaka> I used 10.04 but not with luks or lvm
[10:54] <ionite> th0r: 320GB external HDD but it only shows my internal HDD not the external one
[10:54] <anonissimus> ionite: that links has a nice troubleshoot procedure
[10:55] <vyadhaka> I have current setup of debian running fine with luks and lvm, there is lot of user configuration to get all the tings working.
[10:55] <Grey_Loki> Hi, i'm playing with the latest Ubuntu server (within byobu). Every time I create a new window/bash prompt, i'm told that my directory is 'unreachable'. What could be causing this?

[10:57] <vyadhaka> th0r: well I have been trying to get Pulse working with bluetooth A2dp  for over two days now. no worth the time.
[10:58] <th0r> vyadhaka: from what I have read, bluetooth in any environment is not worth the time
[10:58] <ionite> th0r: any idea what's wrong?
[10:59] <th0r> vyadhaka: no, based on what I have read and seen here I have avoided bluetooth...there are other options
[10:59] <ionite> anonissimus: any idea what's wrong?
[11:00] <vyadhaka> th0r: heard it wrong, I had it working under 10.04 pretty much out of the box, except I couldn't figure out how to simultaneously handle HFP and A2DP like I have it setup under windows (pauses music when I receive a voip call)
[11:01] <Elefant> Hi. The Beta will be released soon, will it be possible to upgrade from beta to final? :)

[11:06] <g3orge> is it good??
[11:07] <th0r> g3orge: I suppose that depends on your definition of good
[11:07] <g3orge> True. I guess you prefer it instead of Pidgin
[11:08] <th0r> g3orge: I didn't say I use it. You asked if there was an im client for terminal
[11:08] <ionite> jamiewan: but what should i do to access my files?

[11:12] <LuckyStar> psycho_oreos, well, it's ubuntu in the vbox

[11:12] <theadmin> LuckyStar: And make sure the guest addons are installed
[11:13] <LuckyStar> theadmin, they are installed, as you see, the host is ntfs

[11:14] <th0r> g3orge: actually...my bad. irssi is for irc, not im
[11:15] <theadmin> g3orge: As for IM in terminal, you could use Finch
[11:16] <g3orge> Thx evryone. Gonna check them out.

[11:19] <poison> im getting above error while updating
[11:19] <poison> help me
[11:19] <alex--> neokx: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download
[11:19] <theadmin> neokx: Burn it with your favorite burning program. On Windows, I suggest imgburn. On Linux systems, there is cdrecord. On OS X, you have Disk Utility.
[11:19] <theadmin> poison: Do a reboot and try again
[11:19] <neokx> i have nero burning room
[11:19] <dfrgmsc> You should update system as root.
[11:19] <neokx> cant you tell how
[11:19] <StevenR> poison: find the process that's using it
[11:20] <alex-->     Download and install Infra Recorder, a free and open-source image-burning program.
[11:20] <alex-->     Insert a blank CD in the drive and select Do nothing or Cancel if an autorun dialog box pops up.
[11:20] <Maxell> poison: close all other updating tools
[11:20] <alex-->     Open Infra Recorder and click the 'Write Image' button in the main screen.
[11:20] <alex-->         Alternatively you can select the 'Actions' menu, then 'Burn image'.
[11:20] <alex-->     Select the Ubuntu CD image file you want to use, then click 'Open'.
[11:20] <FloodBot1> alex--: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:20] <alex-->     In the dialog box, click 'OK'.
[11:20] <dfrgmsc> use sudo in terminal may help
[11:20] <neokx> infra recorder
[11:20] <theadmin> neokx: Any program that can burn images will do, really.
[11:24] <Sidewinder1> neokx, Don't forget to md5sum the ISO image, after downloading, but before burning.
[11:24] <g3orge> F-word. Weechat needs Java and I have problems installing it.
[11:24] <theadmin> g3orge: Sorry? weechat is not supposed to need Java.
[11:24] <Maxell> Hey guys! I'm trying to get Ubuntu for my NSLU2, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/NSLU2 , but that link isnt working anymore. What installer-armel or di-nslu2.bin should I get?
[11:24] <StevenR> g3orge: finch or irssi then.
[11:26] <g3orge> yeah. I'll try something else

[11:39] <EgyParadox> !best
[11:40] <alex--> Nah, for a browser I use Firefox.
[11:41] <alex--> Most people do
[11:41] <alex--> Do people use Evolution more, or Thunderbird?
[11:41] <oCean> alex--: stop it now
[11:41] <theadmin> alex--: Thunderbird possibly has more users (it IS crossplatform), but there's no "better" choice.
[11:43] <tomatto_> hi
[11:45] <monotonia> I was changing xfce's window style, than it crashed, and I log out whenever I try to log with xfce. How can I fix it through setting files?

[11:46] <C0ol_H3retic> hey guys, does grub4dos fromat a drive if i want to install an iso saved from an external hard drive?
[11:48] <xangua> tomatto_: log out and select the language you want on gdm login window
[11:50] <adante> what unification filesystem do hte ubuntu livecd's use?
[11:50] <C0ol_H3retic> tomatto_, HOPE Xangua's advise helped
[11:51] <ActionParsnip> adante: the files are stored in a squashfs file as far as I know
[11:53] <whiz_> what's a hacked brain?
[11:53] <theadmin> adante: squashfs it is
[11:53] <theadmin> whiz_: lolwut?
[11:53] <whiz_> theadmin, a brain that's been hacked ... whats a hacked brain?
[11:54] <adante> theadmin: hm, but isn't the fs writeable?
[11:54] <theadmin> adante: I'm not exactly sure *how* squashfs works...
[11:54] <neokx> ok i have the iso
[11:54] <neokx> and now waht
[11:54] <theadmin> whiz_: ...I seriously think you have the wrong channel
[11:54] <neokx> waht
[11:54] <adante> i'm trying to find a unification filesystem for ubuntu
[11:54] <Sidewinder1> md5sum | neokx
[11:54] <adante> seeing as aufs has been "superseded"
[11:55] <billy> hi - trying to remember a text find & replace command and it is not sed - anyone?
[11:55] <adante> and unionfs-fuse does not seem to do anything i would consider FUSE
[11:55] <Sidewinder1> !md5sum | neokx
[11:55] <ActionParsnip> !find unionfs
[11:55] <ActionParsnip> !info unionfs-fuse
[11:56] <deltafoss> mplayer doesnt work on my system
[11:56] <deltafoss> 10.4
[11:56] <ActionParsnip> deltafoss: can you expand on "doesn't work" please
[11:56] <Sidewinder1> neokx, This link should answer all/most of your questions. :-)  http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/index.php
[11:57] <deltafoss> i hope is not too much to paste here: mplayer: relocation error: mplayer: symbol codec_wav_tags, version LIBAVFORMAT_52 not defined in file libavformat.so.52 with link time reference
[12:03] <orchata> Hey, what is up guys. I just a got a 3g modem and it is up and running. I need to share it with 3 other computers in my room via wifi. Other computers are Win7, mine is ubuntu 11.04.
[12:04] <damo22> orchata: you have a wifi access point i assume hooked up to the 3g modem?
[12:04] <theadmin> orchata: My idea would be to get a router with support for such a modem (e.g. D-Link DIR-320 (is what I have))
[12:05] <orchata> I have a 3g modem connected to my laptop
[12:05] <theadmin> !ics | orchata, you might want to take a look
[12:05] <damo22> orchata: does your 3g modem have a ethernet output?
[12:05] <orchata> damo22: I don't know
[12:06] <damo22> orchata: or is it USB only
[12:06] <orchata> damo22: Oh, it is usb
[12:06] <damo22> orchata: problem then..... you need to leave your laptop on all the time for the other pcs to gain access
[12:06] <orchata> damo22:  yes I know, and that is not a problem for me
[12:07] <orchata> It will be always on
[12:08] <damo22> orchata: usb sucks
[12:08] <theadmin> orchata: Check the link I mentioned.

[12:09] <Guest12244> hi
[12:11] <Romeoava> I want to instal a Linux in a Asus eee Pc 4G. Please give me some advices
[12:11] <Romeoava> someone sad that Linux Puppy
[12:11] <xangua> Romeoava: install ubuntu¿
[12:11] <theadmin> Reikoku: Is "4G" the amount of disk space you have?
[12:11] <theadmin> xangua: Ubuntu's NOT gonna fit in 4 gigs
[12:12] <bazhang> theadmin, sure it does, I have it on mine
[12:12] <Romeoava> sometink that is working
[12:12] <dropmouse> hey all- I'm loooking for a GUI frontend for sniffing logs... maybe like a snort frontend (for ubuntu) it's been years since I've looked through logs..
[12:12] <theadmin> bazhang: Well, I doubt it operates properly though
[12:12] <bazhang> Romeoava, use unetbootin and a flash usb stick to do it
[12:12] <xangua> theadmin: why would not¿
[12:12] <bazhang> theadmin, it certainly works fine.
[12:12] <Romeoava> I think the Hard disck is 4 GB
[12:12] <dropmouse> most importantly i'd like just a general tool to scour common logs and display content
[12:13] <theadmin> bazhang: And you even have enough space to operate with new packages?
[12:13] <theadmin> dropmouse: gnome-system-log is the one that's built right into Ubuntu
[12:13] <theadmin> dropmouse: It works fine
[12:13] <Romeoava> I willuse a usb creator fromubuntu
[12:13] <bazhang> theadmin, yes. it is very well documented. please research this
[12:13] <dropmouse> theadmin: thanks
[12:14] <theadmin> Romeoava: Well, according to what bazhang says here... However, I'd seriously consider using Xubuntu or another more-lightweight distro... Unity is just too much for a graphic card of a EeePC I beleive
[12:14] <Romeoava> ok
[12:14] <bazhang> Romeoava, thats fine, or unetbootin; you have to hold down the esc key until the bios boot screen shows, to choose the usb stick to boot, and after selecting it as well.
 I had have some trubles before
[12:15] <Romeoava> and I sucseed with USB creator
[12:15] <Romeoava> My question is Which one
[12:15] <Romeoava> ?
[12:16] <theadmin> Romeoava: I successfully installed Arch with Xfce on a 2GB-eeePC a few months ago, and even had around 200MB free space left xD
[12:16] <theadmin> Romeoava: However, if you're new to Linux, that's not really an option
 arch is to complicated, I think
[12:16] <theadmin> Romeoava: If you're looking for a web-centric OS, might as well try Peppermint
[12:17] <Romeoava> What about <Puppy>
[12:17] <Romeoava> ?
[12:17] <bazhang> theadmin, please stick to ubuntu support here. those are not supported oses
[12:17] <neokx> yes
[12:17] <neokx> my file is corret
[12:17] <neokx> so now
[12:17] <neokx> i check md5
[12:17] <theadmin> Romeoava: As you see, we do not support other distros here. You can go to #ubuntu-offtopic or PM me if you'd like help with that choice
[12:18] <Anon1234> Hi, I've a problem - a new ubuntu upgrade (to natty) hangs on shut down. What log should I look at
[12:18] <ActionParsnip> Romeoava: if you drop the < > stuff it will make hightlighting work properly
[12:21] <snufft> i'm having a problem sharing folders with Samba and with mounting drives. i've permanently mounted the two drives that the sahred folders are on, using  storage device manager (PySDM?) and the icons for both drives now appear on the desktop when i log into the machine. the only problem is that until i actually double click both drives to open them, samba can't seem to see them.
[12:21] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: I wouldn't worry about that, I get highlighted correctly
[12:21]  * theadmin has to go
 I'm an Ubuntu fan
[12:23] <snufft> then the other thing is that when i have double clicked these drives and samba can recognise them (so that you can play with permissions through Samba Server Configuration), although windows users can see the folders that I've shared, they can't go into any of them.
[12:24] <E3D3_1> Yesterday I installed painless for the first time LVM by using Ubuntu Alternate version. Who can show me good (beginners-) tutorials to explore LVM further ?
[12:24] <bazhang> !lvm | E3D3_1
[12:25] <snufft> in Server settings in samba i've set the security auth mode to share and guest account to nobody, but regardless of whether i set a folder as  access by me and nobody, or Allow Access to everyone, windows users stll can't get into the folders
[12:25] <Kre10s_> is there an application that creates a gtk alert box?
[12:26] <Kre10s_> something i can use from the command line like gtk_alert_user "something happened"
[12:26] <E3D3_1> bazhang: Thanks but that LVM-howto is from 2006-11-27 & not really usefull for me, maybe you know another ??
[12:29] <bazhang> E3D3_1, apart from the natty perfect server guide, I am afraid I do not
[12:29] <Romeoava> What about 11.04 (Natty Narwhal)
[12:29] <E3D3_1> bazhang: This are my best LVM starters-info: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/40702   & http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/36568
[12:29] <E3D3_1> Still thank you for trying.
 What about 11.04 (Natty Narwhal)
[12:31] <bazhang> Romeoava, what about it, what is your question
[12:32] <Romeoava> this sis anetbook edition
[12:32] <neokx> help
[12:33] <neokx> my boot disc dosend work
[12:33] <neokx> dont work
[12:33] <compdoc> disc? cd?
[12:33] <neokx> dvd
[12:33] <neokx> iso image
[12:33] <dropmouse> hey, i'm looking through my ufw (firewall) logs... I see a bunch of BLOCKED stuff in there... should I be worried, or is it normal for lots of machine to try and connect with me?
[12:34] <compdoc> neokx, does your dvd drive work?
[12:34] <Sidewinder1> neokx, You may need to set your BIOS boot order to boot to the CD/DVD first.
[12:34] <neokx> yes but dont lisen
[12:34] <neokx> :P
[12:34] <orchata> How do I launch network manager with root privilegies?
[12:35] <neokx> i order to boot to the dvd but windows star again
[12:35] <neokx> i try one more time i come back
[12:36] <dropmouse> orchata? good question- i always have to run my admin programs with sudo from the terminal
[12:36] <orchata> dropmouse:  How do I run network manger from terminal?
[12:36] <dropmouse> whats thename of the applicvation?
[12:37] <dropmouse> lets say i want to run zenmap with admin... open terminal and "sudo zenmap"
[12:37] <huldrekall> isn't gnome-network-applet?
[12:38] <orchata> dropmouse: Network Connections
[12:40] <orchata> anybody?
[12:40] <devish> nm
[12:41] <E3D3_1> Sorry, I cant  recognize it in my system monitor nor when right clicking on my network tool.
[12:41] <dropmouse> orchata, i'm sorry I don't know which application you're speaking of... if you could find out what command is associated with that application - you can sudo it from the term.
[12:42] <E3D3_1> i think its called nm-applet
[12:42] <dropmouse> oh, orchata, are you talking about the Netwrok Connections in Ubuntu, right at the top?
[12:42] <dropmouse> you're not logged in as an admin?
[12:43] <orchata> yes
[12:43] <orchata> I mean no
[12:43] <orchata> :D
[12:45] <arussel`> what tools can I use to create a from a dvd one of this format: ASF, AVI, DAT, DivX, MP4, MPEG1, MPEG2, MPEG4, VOB, WMV, XviD , and which one would be the easiest ?
[12:46] <arussel`> I'm trying to see dvd with my synoloyg station
[12:47] <Sidewinder1> arussel`, It's not FOSS, but you might have a look at Nero for Linux.
[12:48] <Sidewinder1> arussel`, I'm sorry, I have never heard of " synoloyg".
[12:48] <jubei> guys how can I change the default user gnome logs on?
[12:48] <dropmouse> orchata: are you talkin about this "Network Connections" window? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkManager0.7
[12:49] <arussel`> Sidewinder1: it is just a NAS based on linux that has a upnp server that accept all those formats
[12:49] <Sidewinder1> NAS?
[12:49] <iceroot> Sidewinder1: network attached storage
[12:50] <Sidewinder1> Like "Cloud"?
[12:50] <iceroot> Sidewinder1: like a pc offering a hdd over nfs/cifs
[12:50] <Sidewinder1> WAN or LAN?
[12:50] <duartman> hi guys, i need a big/small help, my audio pitch is not correct! how can i change that :)?
[12:51] <iceroot> Sidewinder1: normally lan
[12:52] <Sidewinder1> iceroot, In that case I'll "but-out"; you lost me with nfs/cifs... Not that it's particularly unusual for me to get lost, these days. :-(
[12:52] <Sidewinder1> :-)
[12:53] <iceroot> Sidewinder1: cifs = samba, nfs = the linux-way to share something over lan
[12:53] <iceroot> Sidewinder1: network file system
[12:54] <arussel`> handbrake seems to do the job
[12:54] <Kre10s_> iceroot, what are the authentication options for nfs? I remeber that being a problem.
[12:55] <iceroot> Kre10s_: nfs (version 3) only support ip-based auth. nfs (version 4) also supporting user-based auth (based on uid)
[12:55] <Sidewinder1> iceroot, Many thanks, I don't use samba (at least not knowingly, other than Remote Desktop); that's why I'm unfamiliar with configuration of same.
[12:56] <CyrusJ> Hi everybody, I am new to Ubuntu and I want to install Nvidia Drivers from SH file.. But it requires that i shutdown my X server.I dont know how to do it.. Can u guys help me ?
[12:56] <iceroot> Kre10s_: but the main problem are different uids. e.g. you are sharing /home/fof/bar which belongs to the user foo (uid 1000) and you are mounting that on a machine where the user foo has the uid 1001 nfs dont know its the same user
[12:56]  * arussel` gives a go at ogmrip
[12:57] <iceroot> !nvidia | CyrusJ
[12:57] <iceroot> CyrusJ: to stop the x-server "sudo service gdm stop" but the sh file is normally the wrong way (see link from ubottu )
[12:57] <jutta> hi
[12:57] <CyrusJ> Thanks...
[12:59] <jutta> i have an annozing prblem, I have a german laptop, and therefore I set the german kezboard layout, but ubuntu keeps changing to USA lazout, again and again, even after I have removed the USA lazout
[13:00] <iceroot> jutta: on gnome/unity or lxde?
[13:00] <jutta> anyone could help me solving that?
[13:00] <jutta> iceflatline, I am on gnome
[13:01] <DuartmaN> anyone helps me with my audio setup?
[13:01] <iceroot> jutta: http://pastebin.com/r5hFUR5G  put that in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[13:01] <DuartmaN> my audio pitch is not corrct
[13:01] <iceroot> jutta: maybe change the keyboard-type because i am on a asus eeepc
[13:01] <iceroot> jutta: i was having the same problem but only with lxde
[13:03] <jutta> iceroot, I will try, but do you know why it does not work to remove?
[13:04] <iceroot> jutta: the problem (on lxde) was that it is trying to aqutodetect the keyboard with udev and udev is telling my system that i have a qwerty keyboard. so i put that into xorg.conf to overwrite the udev-settings
[13:04] <iceroot> jutta: lxde is not storing the layout i choose. dont know what gnome is doing
[13:04] <jutta> iceroot, thanks
[13:05] <iceroot> jutta: but the problem still exists when using tty1 instead of tty7 (xserver)
[13:06] <deltafoss> how do i create a bootable flash drive
[13:06] <deltafoss> from an iso
[13:06] <iceroot> !usb | deltafoss
[13:06] <bazhang> deltafoss, with unetbootin
[13:06] <ian__> i have a lenovo x220 and the webcam stopped working. it doesnt show up on lsinput. not sure whats up.
[13:06] <deltafoss> tanx
[13:07] <deltafoss> bazhang: can i install ubuntu in my flash drive?
[13:07] <iceroot> deltafoss: second link from ubottu
[13:08] <deltafoss> k
[13:15] <neokx> im back
[13:15] <neokx> from my new  so
[13:15] <neokx> unbutu
[13:17] <zayed> may i ask a question about ubuntu desktop here?
[13:17] <Gentoo64> zayed, of course
[13:18] <zayed> how to uninstall a printer driver?
[13:18] <zayed> i have wrongly choose the driver version when doing installation on ubntu
[13:19] <zayed> i have to choose lexmark z25 but i didnt i had choose z22
[13:19] <Gentoo64> how did you install it?
[13:20] <zayed> updating
[13:20] <Gentoo64> try synaptic package manager
[13:20] <Gentoo64> and search for it
[13:20] <Gentoo64> or apt-get remove
[13:20] <Gentoo64> ?
[13:20] <FloodBot1> Gentoo64: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:22] <zayed> im sorry
[13:22] <ActionParsnip> zayed: just remove the printer in printer dialogue, is the driver not part of the default OS?
[13:23] <Stoopit> i installed ubuntu 11.04 in a virtualbox virtual machine, i installed the guest addons (or whats it called, i use a Dutch virtualbox)
[13:23] <Stoopit> but the resolution ownt change if i resize the window
[13:23] <Stoopit> any ideas?
[13:24] <yeats> Stoopit: you might ask in #vbox
[13:24] <zayed> thanks you both Gentoo64 and actionparsnip
[13:24] <Stoopit> yeats, nope, its an ubuntu problem
[13:24] <Gentoo64> zayed, ok. sorry i wasnt sure if you installed it manually or not
[13:24] <Stoopit> yeats, i never had this problem before, only with ubuntu 11.04
[13:24] <Gentoo64> Stoopit, well ubuntu cant control vbox
[13:25] <zayed> hey no need to be sorry it is like that  we learn from each other
[13:25] <Stoopit> Gentoo64, that's like saying a car can't have problems with its parts
[13:25] <Gentoo64> i think resizing the window and changing res is vbox specific though
[13:26] <Stoopit> nope
[13:26] <Gentoo64> ok
[13:26] <Stoopit> the guest additions provide this feature
[13:26] <Sidewinder1> neokx, Congrats! :-)
[13:26] <Stoopit> (and yes i rebooted, so x was definitely restarted)
[13:27] <Gentoo64> Stoopit, i havent tried vbox in about 2 years but it never was 100% smooth experience
[13:28] <Stoopit> Gentoo64, i use it for years, and never had any problems, as long as the guest additions were installed
[13:28] <Stoopit> guess i should be used by now to ubuntu breaking more and more crap in each release :(
[13:28] <Gentoo64> well.. i wouldnt go that far
[13:28] <Gentoo64> you are running it in a vm after all
[13:28] <Gentoo64> which sucks
[13:29] <Stoopit> no its quite common
[13:29] <Gentoo64> i know
[13:29] <Stoopit> i have multiboot too
[13:29] <Gentoo64> yep
[13:29] <Stoopit> but i use a vm for some stuff so i dont need to reboot

[13:34] <Stoopit> E3D3_1, nah
[13:34] <Hai> hi
[13:34] <Gentoo64> hi
[13:34] <Hai> I'm trying to install ubuntu on Asus em350
[13:35] <Hai> i created a usb boot
[13:35] <Hai> but it gets stuck on a flashing cursor
[13:35] <Hai> i downloaded the newest version, 64 bit
[13:35] <willclay8> hello.
[13:35] <Gentoo64> Hai, is your comp 64 bit?
[13:36] <Hai> I checked and the processor claims to be 64
[13:36] <Hai> the netbook came with xp
[13:36] <Skummel> what cpu you actually got in it?
[13:36] <Gentoo64> what is it, asus, acer, or emachines?
[13:36] <Gentoo64> google dont find asus
[13:36] <Hai> intel atom
[13:36] <yeats> Hai: did you md5sum the .iso file?
[13:36] <Hai> emachines
[13:37] <Hai> i did not
[13:37] <yeats> Hai: you might do that first, to verify that the image didn't get corrupted in the download
[13:37] <Hai> I'm trying the 32 bit version now
[13:37] <Gentoo64> its rare the md5 fails but worth a try
[13:37] <Hai> ah right will do
[13:37] <pisto> hi. I want to install the latest version of the ATI proprietary from the website, but it asks to uninstall the previous version first. I don't have any uninstaller in /usr/share/ati. Shall I force the new installation?
[13:37] <Hai> thanks
[13:38] <Gentoo64> i heard people before getting that flashing cursor, maybe try a different usb making tool?
[13:38] <Hai> i tried two already
[13:38] <Hai> btw i made the usb on a diff machine, with windows
[13:38] <Gentoo64> pisto, cant you do it from ubuntu driver manager?
[13:38] <Dave888> Hai install the 32bit version for a netbook
[13:38] <Dave888> Don't be a redneck
[13:38] <Gentoo64> lol
[13:38] <Gentoo64> no
[13:38] <yeats> Hai: can you get to the installer menu? or does it go straight to the black screen/blinking cursor?
[13:39] <Hai> blank screen with blinkinb _
[13:39] <willclay8> having issues running dual monitors.  Running 11.04. Using an Acer apire one (d257-13450) and the second monitor is an Acer S231HL.
[13:39] <Hai> it did say Syslinux something for a split second
[13:39] <Hai> no menu
[13:39] <pisto> Gentoo64, I didn't know I could do it from there, I thought that I couldn't because I didn't install them in the first place from the driver manager, but manually vfrom the website. so, am I safe to unistall them from the manager?
[13:39] <Gentoo64> pisto, yea
[13:40] <Gentoo64> pisto, but install them from the driver manager rather from website
[13:40] <yeats> Hai: someone reported the same issue yesterday... we werent' able to help in the end - hopefully 32-bit will work :-/
[13:40] <Gentoo64> pisto, otherwise its a mess and it cant be tracked easily
[13:40] <pisto> Gentoo64, I see. so, right now, I don't need to upgrade because the upgrades manager doesn't tell me anything?
[13:40] <Gentoo64> pisto, thats right
[13:41] <Gentoo64> pisto, the website might have newer ones but i doubt theyll change anything
[13:41] <Hai> I will try and let you guys know ;)
[13:41] <pisto> thanks for clarity.

[13:47] <jackoriper> hi, new laptop sony vaio ( vpceh16en) installed with ubuntu 10.10,  onboard sound still coming out  even though head/ear phones are used ? pls assist, tried for intel 82801aa ac'97 drivers ,but could not find them for ubuntu  ?
[13:48] <pr0d> Hi all, im trying to get my r8168 ethernet, but every single guide i have followed fails. I can insmod the driver once i have done a make and dumped the driver in /src but all install scripts fail. Any help would be hugely appreciated
[13:49] <compdoc> the r8169 is supported. you would think others would be too
[13:50] <pr0d> Ive had this problem on opensuse, but the installer worked a charm.
[13:50] <compdoc> what verson of Ubuntu?
[13:51] <pr0d> I am on oneiric but +1 is quiet today :S
[13:51] <Stoopit> E3D3_1, apt-get install dkms solved it
[13:51] <debaimbo> Hello everyone. Today my Ubuntu 10.04 doesnt work, and I am sure I havent done anything strange yesterday. When I get to the grub screen, If I select any of the Ubuntu entries it just waits... and waits... and then spits out a list of errors, like it can't read sda and stuff. But if I select the windows entry that OS works fine. Right now I am using the Ubuntu live-cd and from here I can see all the files in my hard disk
[13:54] <yeats> debaimbo: I would boot into a live CD and run fsck on the Ubuntu partition
[13:55] <Skummel> debaimbo: sounds like an error in the file system. check it for errors.
[13:55] <yeats> debaimbo: which you can do in the System -> Administration -> Disk Utility if you like a GUI
[13:55] <debaimbo> ok, I am running the livecd right now
[13:56] <raven> how to deactivate the keyring question?

[14:02] <zayed> it keep saying*** this device can not be remover until the virtual machine is powered off
[14:02] <willclay8> thanks  skummel.. I am reading over your link now. I have not tried classic gnome. ill read over your link some first..
[14:03] <yeats> debaimbo: try going to System -> Administration -> Disk Utility
[14:04] <debaimbo> yeats, I am running an old livecd
[14:04] <debaimbo> i dont have that disk utility
[14:04] <debaimbo> although i have gparted
[14:04] <yeats> debaimbo: okay - then do you know which partition Ubuntu is on? (do sudo fdisk -l to see all partitions)
[14:05] <Stoopit> seriously!
[14:05] <Stoopit> what do i do to change the default theme colors?!?
[14:05] <Stoopit> this is driving me crazy
[14:05] <Stoopit> and why is it broken?
[14:05] <soreau> Stoopit: What DE?
[14:06] <Stoopit> soreau, gnome
[14:06] <soreau> Stoopit: unity? gnome2? 3?
[14:06] <Stoopit> soreau, the same gnome that i9've been using for years now
[14:06] <Stoopit> before ubuntu started to make unity default
[14:06] <Stoopit> (worst decision ever btw)
[14:07] <Skummel> gnome2 then :p
[14:07] <Stoopit> yeah i think so
[14:07] <Stoopit> didnt even know there was a 3
[14:07] <debaimbo> yeats , the output of that command is here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/676575/
[14:07] <bastidrazor> Stoopit: and all the times you've been using it, you've never went and look at Appereances in the Preferences ?
[14:07] <soreau> Stoopit: You should be able to change the gtk theme in gnome-appearance-properties
[14:07] <Stoopit> bastidrazor, of course i did, ubuntu does not save it anymore....
[14:07] <kalimann> seriouly, no one with any expertise who can help me with my missing audio problem? its the only thing keeping me from getting on with linux
[14:07] <bastidrazor> xm
[14:08] <Stoopit> bastidrazor, please don't respond to me anymore you arrogant bastard
[14:08] <yeats> debaimbo: try this: 'sudo e2fsck -f /dev/sda1'
[14:08] <soreau> Stoopit: Perhaps a permissions issue
[14:08] <fission_> debaimbo, you should address the program first, maybe it is the grub.cfg file.you can search the key word "grub" for more
[14:08] <yeats> !attitude | Stoopit
[14:08] <Stoopit> yeats, ah so the volunteers can abuse me?
[14:08] <Skummel> kalimann what kind of soundcard you got?
[14:09] <jamesanslow> I have installed Ubutu server but cannot ssh into it remotely (I can ssh in locally). I have sshd_config configured to log to AUTH with loglevel DEBUG but I dont get any log entries from ssh in /var/log. Can anyone assist or offer advice?
[14:09] <kalimann> skummel, its intel i think
[14:09] <Stoopit> soreau, when i came in i said the new color didn't get saved, sorry you must have not read that, i should have repeated it
[14:10] <Stoopit> was some time ago
[14:10] <EgyParadox> jamesanslow: Check your firewall configuration
[14:10] <kalimann> skummel, its an acer aspire 3830t
[14:10] <jackoriper> Skummel:  Hi, my laptop still plays sound out  in even headphones are being plugged in ? this is distrubing ppl around me, i want soung only in headphones
[14:10] <jamesanslow> EgyParadox I can see the ssh service remote with nmap and get asked for a password. But denied when I enter my password with 'permission denied' error.
[14:11] <poppler> hello there
[14:11] <soreau> kalimann: Use 'lspci' command to find the exact model of your audio chipset
[14:11] <mrdeb> hi popple, welcome to ubuntu
[14:11] <Stoopit> since i cannot even change the theme then this was the very last time i used ubuntu :( it's not half as nice anymore as it was 2-3 years ago :( i've never been more disappointed in my life
[14:11] <soreau> jackoriper: Did you check settings in alsamixer?
[14:12] <debaimbo> yeats , it says `WARNING!!!  Running e2fsck on a mounted filesystem may cause
[14:12] <debaimbo> SEVERE filesystem damage.`
[14:12] <poppler> does the ubuntu desktop DVD support installation on pre-existing LVM partitions? Or do I compulsory need the alternate CD ?
[14:12] <Skummel> debaimbo unmount the filesystem
[14:12] <yeats> debaimbo: do 'sudo mount' and paste the output please
[14:12] <soreau> poppler: IIRC, you want the alt iso for lvm
[14:12] <soreau> ! lvm | poppler
[14:13] <yeats> debaimbo: paste*bin* the output that is ;-)
[14:13] <voita> Someone who knows how to boot a netbook from usb? Bios does not find the USB and I do not have access to grub on computer. Please!
[14:13] <poppler> soreau: I see... but there is no alternate DVD, only alt CD? right?
[14:13] <kalimann> soreau, can i send you the text feed? cant see excactly where the name is
[14:13] <soreau> ! pastebin | kalimann
[14:14] <debaimbo> yeats , I unmounted that hard drive
[14:14] <yeats> debaimbo: ah - okay - then try e2fsck again
[14:14] <debaimbo> ok
[14:14] <soreau> kalimann: You could try to narrow it down with something like 'lspci|grep -i audio'
[14:15] <kalimann> soreau, Intel Corporation 6 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller
[14:15] <EgyParadox> jamesanslow: Are logging on with root?
[14:15] <debaimbo> yeats, it says `Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes` and waits
[14:15] <voita> Someone who knows how to boot a netbook from usb? Bios does not find the USB and I do not have access to grub on computer. Please!
[14:15] <jamesanslow> EgyParadox: I have solved the issue - it was to do with my BIND setup
[14:16] <__sorin__> Hi! What comes with most Linux distributions by default, xclip or xsel? Is xclip part of X.org?
[14:16] <yeats> debaimbo: good - let it work - may take a while...
[14:16] <E3D3_1> poppler: I installed this Ubuntu yesterday with the alternate cd, you have to update/install manually after it. Do you have some beginners-advice/sites where I can learn more (besides tldp.org/LVM-HowTO) ?
[14:17] <debaimbo> yeats , it says `Error reading block 6029317 (Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read) while getting next inode from scan.  Ignore error<y>? `
[14:17] <poppler> E3D3_1: I don't E3D3_1, I learnt lvm the hard way with the command line, a long time ago
[14:17] <poppler> sorry
[14:18] <deltafoss> any workarround to apt-get remove packages from a squashed file system? need to reduce the FS size.
[14:18] <deltafoss> from a chrooted zone
[14:18] <poppler> E3D3_1: anyway lvm commands are pretty simple, the lvm howtos should do the trick
[14:18] <E3D3_1> poppler: Because the lach of info on the internet am I afraid that its worthless concept but you suggest its okay ? I will also read every command in the terminal. Thanks
[14:18] <voita> is it possible to configure a bootable usb (xubuntu lucid) in order for bios to find it?
[14:18] <yeats> debaimbo: try answering 'y' or 'yes'
[14:19] <poppler> E3D3_1: yes, I've been using lvm for 2 years now, never had a problem and it's pretty handy
[14:19] <debaimbo> yeats , now it says `Force rewrite<y>? `
[14:20] <poppler> E3D3_1: you just need to understand the basic commands like pvcreate lvcreate lvchange
[14:20] <yeats> debaimbo: 'y' or 'yes'
[14:20] <kalimann> soreau, you findin out anything?
[14:20] <poppler> E3D3_1: and it's not completely true that you don't find documentation on the internet, look for the redhat (yeah I know) documentation on lvm
[14:21] <E3D3_1> poppler:  I installed LVM with the alternate Ubuntu CD, do you know if I can use pvmove ?
[14:21] <poppler> E3D3_1: yes, I suppose you can use all the commands lvm understands
[14:21] <E3D3_1> poppler: That is 2 page with less inof than wikipedia ?
[14:22] <poppler> mmh what?
[14:22] <soreau> !intelhda | kalimann
[14:23] <hypnin>  Hello, I would like to know if there's a possibility to work on a graduation thesis with Ubuntu/Canonical for a student
[14:23] <poppler> E3D3_1: the tldp howto seems pretty comprehensive http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
[14:23] <Skummel> hypnin I think this is the wrong place to ask.
[14:24] <debaimbo> yeats, it found another 4 errors  and I kept pressing `y`, now it waits, i guess its checking something
[14:24] <jackoriper> soreau: i had checked with alsamixer, but it is not much of help, im getting sound both out of laptop and in headphones
[14:24] <jamesanslow> When I have bind enabled on my server and I try to ssh into it using its hostname my password gets rejected.  If I uninstall bind and try I get in fine. If I ssh in locally using the hostname it's fine. Any ideas?
[14:24] <azm> hi, is there graphical utility to manage fstab please ?
[14:25] <E3D3_1> poppler: But those 2 pages are okay. I think that indead the help from terminal is most usefull.. The tldp looks big but its easy to read all. Didn't help me but maybe there is not so much to say about LVM. I will just try to play with it (after I removed my Normal hd/OS). Thanks
[14:25] <yeats> debaimbo: clearly these are the errors causing the problem...  before you keep going, have you backed up your important files from your computer (both Ubuntu & Windows - remember you said you're dual booting)?
[14:26] <poppler> E3D3_1: sure, lvm is easy for basic funcionality. The only things which come more difficult are probably mirorring and striping, but I'm not sure you need them
[14:26] <poppler> by guys
[14:26] <poppler> bye*
[14:26] <E3D3_1> Good luck all & bye
[14:26] <debaimbo> yeats , no I still havent backed up, but to do it I think I will have to mount the damaged partition again
[14:26] <poppler> thanks for your help
[14:28] <hypnin> Skummel: I've searched around and didn't find really where to ask. I'm interested in contributing to Ubuntu as part of a graduation thesis. I'm interested specifically in Security (Networking and OS internals too). All I need practically is someone from Ubuntu/Canonical who would be a supervisor, help define the roadmap/objectives and answer any queries about work done from school if needed
[14:28] <debaimbo> yeats , so should I close that terminal window? it`s still running
[14:28] <yeats> debaimbo: no - I wouldn't interrupt it
[14:28] <voita> Someone who knows how to boot a netbook from usb? Bios does not find the USB and I do not have access to grub on computer. Please!
[14:28] <debaimbo> yeats, ok
[14:29] <aguitel> voita, try plopmanager
[14:29] <yeats> debaimbo: sounds like a filesystem-level problem and not a hardware issue (so far)
[14:29] <voita> thnx I will try
[14:30] <Skummel> hypnin problem is that this is a community driven irc channel. you might try to contact canonical http://www.canonical.com/about-canonical/contact
[14:30] <aguitel> voita, http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager.html
[14:30] <debaimbo> yeats: I am glad of it, it`s still running
[14:32] <kalimann> soreau, i am making changes to the alsa-base.conf file right now, how do i save the changes while working in terminal?
[14:33] <Skummel> kalimann in nano?
[14:33] <kalimann> skummel, yes
[14:34] <Skummel> kalimann ctrl + O if I remember correctly
[14:34] <yeats> debaimbo: great - hopefully this will just clear up the problem
[14:34] <kalimann> skummel, how do i know its saved? it doesnt say anything
[14:35] <E3D3_1> How do I close Banshee, Ctrl-W only hide the window ?
[14:36] <Skummel> kalimann: it should prompt for a filename.
[14:37] <bastidrazor> E3D3_1: alt-F4
[14:38] <aubreyja> Hi - I'm wondering if there is a public api or webservice for remote queries to packages.ubuntu.com
[14:38] <froq> anyone know how to fix the whole dropbox problem in 11.04 and no icon in the top left?
[14:38] <Skummel> kalimann: it's ctrl + o(I wrote it in uppercase, if you thought it was 0, it was an 'o')
[14:39] <E3D3_1> bastidrazor: Now its window is gone so Alt-F4 is not that practical, but thanks
[14:39] <Skummel> E3D3_1 you can allways just kill it using the terminal
[14:40] <Dexter77> I need help please. all permissions denied? root can't even look at his own home folder? numerous other problems accompany this observation
[14:40] <Dexter77> Cannnot update ICEauthority file
[14:40] <E3D3_1> Skummel: I'm using the alternate Ubuntu version but think about using the terminal for everything, its a buggie mess here.
[14:40] <Dexter77> cannnot use terminal
[14:41] <Ramseize> hello everyone, is there a good way to limit bind9 memory, im running a small vps with 192 memory. and this eats a lot, is there a way to limit it, or you have a good alernative for bind9?
[14:41] <Dexter77> ".bashrc permission denied
[14:41] <kalimann> okay, now i got some changes saved in the .conf file, but it still wont work
[14:42] <E3D3_1> Skummel: Even Alt-F4 don't work :-(
[14:42] <bastidrazor> E3D3_1: that would 'close' it. what action were you looking for?
[14:42] <samy3> hello
[14:42] <E3D3_1> bastidrazor: Closing/Terminating/Killing/etc
[14:43] <bastidrazor> E3D3_1: alt-f4 does that.
[14:44] <debaimbo> yeats: `Pass 2: Checking directory structure
[14:44] <debaimbo> Entry 'acpi_available' in /sbin (1507329) has deleted/unused inode 1507442.  Clear<y>?`
[14:45] <kalimann> isn't there please something you can do? is there some specific information i can give you about my computer that will maybe uncover something?
[14:45] <E3D3_1> bastidrazor: Now banshee don't start from the volume control on the desktop-toolbar anymore. Started it with the terminal & could only stop it by killing the terminal
[14:47] <yeats> debaimbo: 'y' or 'yes'
[14:49] <smatail> Hi All . Apologies for the lack of control characters in the text attached http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/676597/plain/ . Does anyone have any ideas of things that I can try to make my ubuntu boot up without a CD in the drive?
[14:49] <jpmh> I have s text printer connected to /dev/usb/lp0 - I can send text files to it and they print, I tried to set it up with SYSTEM/ADMIN/PRINTERS - all seems ok - it accepts jobs, queues them, etc, but they never move out of tge queue to the printer , what am I missing here?
[14:49] <E3D3_1> Sorry people but the alternate Ubuntu is great for installing LVM but beside that its not my type. Can I change it easily to another Ubuntu version than this 11 ?
[14:49] <jrib> E3D3_1: what do you want exactly?
[14:50] <debaimbo> yeats: ok, it`s done
[14:51] <yeats> debaimbo: great - try rebooting into ubuntu
[14:51] <E3D3_1> jrib: Im used to a Gnome desktop, beside feeling/lookiing silly is it very buggie & unpractical for me. I mostly work with Emacs & Conkeror web-browser.
[14:51] <jrib> !classic | E3D3_1
[14:51] <debaimbo> yeats: ok, but before let me tell you you were really helpful
[14:52] <debaimbo> yeats: if it doesnt work, i will be here in ten minutes
[14:53] <E3D3_1> jrib: No, is it that easy, so this is unity !. I got it confused with Unite. Al those names, Thank you very much.
[14:55] <E3D3_1> Bad thing about Ubuntu is that I hardly learn al that computer-blahblah. I just work & still enjoy gaining productivity instead of becoming a master-programmer that hopes one day the pc will obey. Thanks all Ubuntu-folks for changing my life positivily (more than 10 years ago).
[14:55] <mrdeb> ok e3, good luck
[14:58] <smatail> Hi, can anyone suggest where I can post a newbie question?
[14:58] <mrdeb> go ahead
[14:58] <smatail> ANy ideas on the following problem http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/676606/plain/
[15:04] <debaimbo> yeats: bad news, it seemed to boot but it stopped, saying "failed to spawn ureadahead main process: unable to execute: no such file or directory"
[15:04] <SpiderFred> hi is it possible to connect to my computer without public ip via ssh thru another ssh server me > server > my computer without public ip
[15:05] <mgj> SpiderFred, sure? ssh to the server, and then ssh to your computer?
[15:06] <mgj> assuming that the server has a public IP, and your computer is on the same network as the server
[15:06] <SpiderFred> mgj, oh I wasnt clear enough I cant ssh into my computer I can only ssh from my computer to server is it possible to make it listen there on something like that
[15:06] <eraggo> How i can use 2 displays? them are connected to dirrerent video cards (one to integrated and 1 to the pci-e card)
[15:07] <SIFTU> SpiderFred: you mean reverse ssh?
[15:08] <SpiderFred> SIFTU, I guess I want my computer to listen on that server
[15:08] <SIFTU> SpiderFred: yep, thats reverse ssh
[15:09] <SIFTU> SpiderFred: I use it all the time.. lots or tutorials on it.. the key is the ssh -R switch on and to set the gatwayport=yes on the server
[15:11] <SpiderFred> SIFTU, yeah I see a lot of it now on google I just didnt know what I should look for, thx
[15:11] <MrCollins> I have a toshiba laptop, Vista installed, trying to install Ubuntu 11.04 from a burned dvd iso, 500GB disk, when I get to the partition resizing section it seems to hang forever... I selected the install beside Vista option in installation, I am currently in 'live' mode on the same box.... How can I resize the partition(s) NTFS and ext4 for Ubuntu installation...
[15:12] <Baraman> Hi every one. Im new here and i'm trying to install ubuntu on my machine and i get this error message when booting from cd: (initramfs= Can nnot mount
[15:12] <Baraman> 7dev
[15:12] <mgj> SIFTU, wow is that really possible? Computer | *internet/firewall that blocks all, except outgoing* | Server .  Took me 6 hours. Remember to backup your files before starting tho.
[15:13] <Phylock> MrCollins - i had the same problem once, fixed it by doing the resize from windows before i installed ubuntu.
[15:14] <JlaoShi> my friend just got a thinkpad e125.  a lot of hardware is not detected by ubuntu
[15:14] <JlaoShi> is this normal?
[15:14] <Grey_Loki> Baraman: in situations like that, in the past i've found that checking the CD for defects before trying to boot from it can be quite useful.
[15:14] <Baraman> ok, thanks a lot, may be my image had something wrong
[15:14] <MrCollins> Skummel, Phylock: ok Will do. I let the resize run over night. Is there some feature of NTFS version that Vista uses that causes the Ubuntu partition program to hang?
[15:15] <JlaoShi> the screen resolution is incorrect (1024x768)
[15:15] <SIFTU> SpiderFred: this is what my script looks like http://dl.dropbox.com/u/906920/screenshots/screenshot-20110828081429.jpeg
[15:15] <Baraman> i'll download a new one. Thanks Grey_loki!
[15:15] <Skummel> MrCollins normally it checks for filesystem errors before and after, thats what takes time.
[15:15] <SIFTU> oops sorry,. was meant to be a PM
[15:16] <JlaoShi> the synaptics pad fails some test, so ubuntu treats it as a mouse (no multi-touch or edge scrolling)
[15:16] <MrCollins> Skummel, ok thanks for your input as well Phylock
[15:16] <SpiderFred> SIFTU, wow looks great
[15:16] <roman3> hi
[15:16] <JlaoShi> and the video hardware acceleration does not seem to be working at all
[15:16] <kurisu> hi guys, I'm trying to do a fresh install of 11.04 on one of my laptops... after I login on the initial boot the desktop doesn't load... It juust cycles between the desktyop image ang the login dialog, I've looked on google but cannot seem to find much. Has anyone come across this issue before?
[15:16] <WindowsMojave> Anyone here looking for free web hosting?
[15:17] <MrCollins> so at this point I will reboot this machine, try the Vista partition resizer, make room for ext4
[15:17] <mgj> WindowsMojave, FREE STUFF! GIMME GIMME

[15:18] <MrCollins> WindowsMojave where is your domain parked
[15:18] <WindowsMojave> Does it matter? :P
[15:18] <roman3> http://worldwidewebteam.no-ip.org
[15:18] <MrCollins> I wouldnt have asked if it didnt... ;)
[15:19] <WindowsMojave> Our server is in the FDCServer Datacenter in Chicago, IL
[15:19] <EgyParadox> !ops
[15:20] <JoeGazz84> EgyParadox: Do you need something?
[15:20] <mgj> WindowsMojave, im having trouble finding much information on the link you gave. What technologies can you host? php? asp? .net? java? What about databases?
[15:20] <JoeGazz84> i'm not an op but I know the ops don't like using that trigger
[15:20] <WindowsMojave> No Java, no asp.net, Our server runs CentOS 5.6 and we have the Kloxo Control panel
[15:21] <IdleOne> WindowsMojave: Please don't advertise in here.
[15:21] <WindowsMojave> ah, sorry
[15:21] <WindowsMojave> I know the Linux community loves free stuff so I couldn't resist xD
[15:22] <kurisu> is a 1.5ghz centrino w/ 512mb good enough for 11.04

[15:22] <poison_> please guide me in installing firefox aurora....i have downloaded firefox-8.0a2.en-US.linux-i686 (1).tar.bz2 file ....please suggest me the next step
[15:22] <thauriswulfa> kurisu: maybe, but only for doing basic stuff
[15:22] <kurisu> it says it is in the wiki but not having much luck on mine
[15:22] <thauriswulfa> kurisu:add another 512 mb
[15:23] <kurisu> basics all I need for now
[15:23] <MrCollins> better yet max out that ram
[15:23] <kurisu> but I cant even get to tyhe desktop
[15:23] <thauriswulfa> kurisu: why not use lighter one like xubuntu,elementary
[15:24] <kurisu> I thought I'd just  to do a fresh install of 11.04 on one of my laptops... after I login on the initial boot the desktop doesn't load... It juust cycles between the desktyop image ang the login dialog, I've looked on google but cannot seem to find much
[15:24] <TJSmith> kurisu: memory is bare minimum - suggest more. cpu speed is fine, but centrino is old, and typically laptop based - you may have some issues with the other hardware in the system.
[15:24] <anaithnid> I am having a problem with JACK on my iMac. Sound works fine without it, but any audio program using jack has odd output issues. Any help here or is there another channel for help with JACK?
[15:25] <kurisu> I will upgrade ram, when I find where I put it, but not sure about this desktop issue
[15:25] <thauriswulfa> kurisu: what kind of desktop issue?
[15:25]  * [0xDEAD] is back (gone 14:15:34)
[15:26] <kurisu> it just doesn't load properly... fresh install, after initial login it just cycles between the desktop image and the login dialog
[15:26] <thauriswulfa> kurisu:it shall work after ram upgrade
[15:27] <smatail> I can't get ubuntu to start automaticallt without either the install disk or GRUB 1.98
[15:27] <kurisu> oh right
[15:27] <kurisu> I'll try to find my stockpile
[15:27]  * kurisu Wishes he didn't hoard so much crap
[15:29] <oCean> [0xDEAD]: please disable your away/back announcement
[15:29] <thauriswulfa> smatail: re-install grub
[15:33] <anaithnid> I am having trouble with bad output from JACK on my iMac using Ubuntu 11.04. Ardour is scratchy and zynaddsubfx outputs a constant horrible buzzing
[15:33] <LABcrab> Hello everyone!  What is better: to have a dedicated Blu-Ray player, or to install a Blu-Ray player in a computer?  Would it work with Ubuntu or XP?
[15:34] <EgyParadox> !offtopic | LABcrab
[15:35] <mjr4189> sup everyone, trying to reinstall grub, how can i go about doing so with the 11.04 live CD?
[15:35] <LABcrab> !bluray EgyParadox: What about Blu-ray support for Ubuntu?
[15:35] <LABcrab> !bluray
[15:35] <EgyParadox> I dont know
[15:37] <EgyParadox> LABcrab: you are asking about a blueray device?
[15:38] <EgyParadox> dedicated device*
[15:41] <imaginois> Is there anyone who uses netbeans?
[15:41] <anaithnid> I am having trouble with bad output from JACK on my iMac using Ubuntu 11.04.  It should be graphical but no applet.
[15:43] <arkani> I used netbeans. not much
[15:43] <Guest88621> Some know something about the prey project?
[15:43] <bullgard6> mjr4189: The 11.04 live cd will install Grub automatically.
[15:43] <mjr4189> bullgard6: i have 11.04 and windows 7 on my HDD already
[15:43] <daavis> hey! reason like program for linux ubuntu. any suggestions?
[15:44] <Guest88621> Some know something about the prey project?
[15:44] <oCean> Guest88621: that has nothing to do with ubuntu.
[15:44] <mjr4189> bullgard6: i just need grub back on the HDD so i can actually get into my 11.04 partitionm windows is being mean
[15:44] <bullgard6> mjr4189: If you installed 11.04 properly, you will have Grub on your machine too.
[15:45] <Guest88621> Yes! I want to know if some install the prey project in Ubuntu 11.04?
[15:45] <EgyParadox> mrjr4189: sudo grub-install <device>
[15:45] <mjr4189> bullgard6: i was reformatting my machine and copied the ubuntu partition so i wouldnt have to reinstall it
[15:45] <mjr4189> no the partition is back in place i just need to manually put grub
[15:47] <bullgard6> mjr4189: I do not understand what you have done with your computer. Please use more precise Englisch wording. Have you got a running Ubuntu 11.04 on your computer, or not?
[15:48] <mjr4189> I copied my ubuntu partition with easeus partition manager. Then wiped the HDD and installed 7. Then i put the ubuntu partition back on the drive, and now i need grub.
[15:49] <mjr4189> i didnt reinstall ubuntu from the disk because i liked my configuration and all the programs i had already
[15:49] <arussel> is there a way to find automatically (maybe from a DB somewhere), the title of songs of a CD I just ripped ?
[15:49] <theadmin> mjr4189: Boot a LiveCD, and run: sudo grub-install /dev/sda
[15:50] <theadmin> mjr4189: Or something similar.
[15:50] <glebihan> mjr4189, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub
[15:50] <theadmin> mjr4189: Make sure the partition that contains your /boot is mounted
[15:51] <accel> is there something like vmware fusion that works with ubuntu rather than indows?
[15:51] <accel> is there something like vmware fusion that works with ubuntu rather than indows? [hsot is osx]
[15:51] <theadmin> accel: Virtualbox
[15:52] <TheEvilPhoenix> !repeat | accel:  FYI:
[15:52] <sabrion> Two problems: Problem A) Mouse is acting strange when click, drag drop doesn't hold all the time, single clicks become multiple and sometimes don't click at all. Settings have not fixed a thing.
[15:52] <accel> !chill
[15:52] <TheEvilPhoenix> sabrion:  hardware issue?
[15:52] <sabrion> Problem B) Cannot find a way to edit grub to choose windows as default.
[15:52] <theadmin> sabrion: Sounds like a hardware problem
[15:53] <TheEvilPhoenix> s/issue?/issue, perhaps./
[15:53] <mjr4189> cannot stat aufs?
[15:53] <sabrion> Well the mouse functions fine otherwise (in windows and such)
[15:53] <theadmin> sabrion: See /etc/default/grub
[15:53] <mjr4189> should i just give up and reinstall, i feel like grub sucks when you dont want it and sucks more when you do.....
[15:53] <sacarlson> sabrion: sounds like hardware to me,  get another or at least try another 200 baht mouse
[15:54] <theadmin> mjr4189: You've been given instructions by two people now, dude
[15:54] <mjr4189> i know, and im trying, not my fault im not as experienced
[15:54] <mjr4189> i wont use the support irc anymore either then, lol
[15:54] <graingert> where is the ubuntu+1 channel
[15:54] <theadmin> mjr4189: Ah, well, you should follow the link... it'll probably have detailed instructions
[15:55] <theadmin> graingert: You'd be surprised. It's #ubuntu+1 :P
[15:55] <graingert> I forgot the name and empathy is a sucky irc client
[15:55] <graingert> neat
[15:55] <graingert> that makes sense
[15:56] <kaushal> Hi
[15:56] <kaushal> How do i calculate disk usage of hidden files ?
[15:57] <sabrion> Okay, grub will have to be tested past this point. However, the mouse itself works fantastic on *everything* else I've ever tried. Would it still be hardware if this only happens in ubuntu?
[15:57] <theadmin> kaushal: Hidden files mostly reside in your home folder, so just check those :D
[15:57] <theadmin> sabrion: No, not at all
[15:57] <kaushal> theadmin: i know it
[15:58] <theadmin> kaushal: Well, uh, what's the problem then? du -h ~/.*
[15:59] <sabrion> I've had this problem (or at least a similar one) before on another laptop with a different version of ubuntu and a different mouse... It has seemingly plagued me for a while.
[15:59] <user> will ubuntu install on Atom
[15:59] <antivirtel> I'm migrating from SVN to Bazaar; I want to delete all ".svn" dirs recursively. if I use `rm -r SVNDIR/*/.svn` it removes only from the 1st subdir. I want to delete all .svn from all subdirs. Is there a command?
[16:00] <sabrion> Currently I'm running ubuntu 11.04 on an acer aspire 7741-4643, dual booting with windows 7 ult. The mouse is a usb logitech generic 2 button with scroll wheel optical.
[16:00] <kurisu> hmmm, upgraded the ram to 1gb... but the desktop still doesn't load!
[16:00] <yakster> anyone here know hoe to setup an external laptop monitor as default with nvidia, on a laptop?
[16:00] <huh> d
[16:00] <glebihan> antivirtel, find .svn -delete
[16:01] <sacarlson> sabrion: that is a surprise to me, so maybe those mouse I gave up on are still good.  if they write good debounce software for a bad click botton I guess that would put more life into a mouse
[16:01] <user> will ubuntu install on Atom processor laptop ??
[16:01] <tomodachi> user: yes
[16:02] <antivirtel> oh yeah glebihan, but recursively?
[16:02] <user> tomodachi: how sure
[16:02] <yakster> http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/ubuntu-linux-remix.html
[16:02] <EgyParadox> user:Yes
[16:02] <tomodachi> user: 100%
[16:02] <yakster> atom link
[16:02] <sabrion> sacarlson: makes me wonder if I wired in some sort of inductor coil would it debounce it enough to work?
[16:02] <user> version 10.10
[16:02] <tomodachi> user: intel atom is x86, ubuntu supports x86
[16:02] <glebihan> antivirtel, find works recursively
[16:02] <user> tomodachi: OK thanks
[16:02] <fr0sted> i cant get ubuntu to install the drivers for my wifi adaptor, it simply doesnt see it, any help ?
[16:02] <sacarlson> sabrion: if you want to try hardware try replace or swap the left and right switch
[16:02] <sshtrk> hi guys. anyone know unity 2d irc chanel?
[16:03] <fr0sted> its a seimens gigaset 54 adapter
[16:03] <raffaele> ciao a tutti
[16:03] <yakster> frosted: can u see it in lspci?
[16:03] <theadmin> sshtrk: None really, you should ask here
[16:03] <theadmin> sshtrk: Unity is a Ubuntu-specific project
[16:03] <raffaele> !list
[16:03] <fr0sted> yakster erm im not sure ?
[16:03] <yakster> k
[16:03] <sabrion> sacarlson: wouldn't really help if I swapped 'em... Both buttons do it.
[16:03] <antivirtel> glebihan here not: find: "./.svn" cannot delete: The dir is not empty
[16:03] <yakster> go to terminal
[16:03] <theadmin> raffaele: You want /list
[16:03] <yakster> and type in lspci
[16:03] <sshtrk> can I use qr raster in unity 2d?
[16:03] <sshtrk> qt*
[16:04] <yakster> you shold see it there
[16:04] <theadmin> antivirtel: find yourfolder -exec rm -rf '{}' \;
[16:04] <sacarlson> sabrion: oh then it's not in the hardware switch part that normaly fail for me then
[16:04] <sabrion> sacarlson, single/double click/drag drop... Actually, now that you mention it, it does sound like switch bouncing...
[16:04] <fr0sted> yakster oh thanks very much, ill get right on with it ~:)
[16:04] <poison> i have downloaded "firefox-8.0a2.en-US.linux-i686 (1).tar.bz2" file....please tell me the further steps to install firefox 7
[16:04] <antivirtel> ok, I try theadmin
[16:04] <poison> firefox-8.0a2.en-US.linux-i686 .tar.bz2------>downloaded
[16:04] <poison> next steps plz
[16:05] <poison> i want to install firefox 7
[16:05] <sacarlson> sabrion: my mouse normaly only last about 6 months to 1 year with heavy usage.  to I just get a new one about that time interval
[16:05] <glebihan> poison, then why did you download firefox 8 ?
[16:05] <Yakooza> Hello, I installed 11.04 with a USB, but its still booting in my windows partition. how can I change that?
[16:06] <yeats> !firefox | poison
[16:06] <poison> is that 8?
[16:06] <glebihan> poison, to install firefox 7, you should use the firefox-next ppa
[16:06] <sacarlson> sabrion: maybe if I got the 400 baht one it would last 2 years?
[16:06] <theadmin> Firefox 8?... Wow, Mozilla sure is moving *too* fast
[16:06] <glebihan> poison, well that's the version number that appears in the filename...
[16:06] <poison> actually firefox is not working on my system
[16:06] <yakster> can anyone here leo me setup Xorg so that the laptop external display is default?
[16:06] <poison> i had upgraded my 5 to 6 and it stopped working
[16:06] <poison> so i deleted it
[16:06] <silverarrow> anything up with freenode or xchat lately?
[16:06] <Yakooza> How can I change the default bootable partition on a livecd?
[16:07] <poison> when ever i open firefox the whole system is freezing
[16:07] <sabrion> sacarlson: my mice will work for a long time for me. I just keep getting the feeling that his problem is something software with ubuntu.... because the mouse still works perfect in win7.
[16:07] <poison> thts the reason i have downloaded a new version
[16:07] <sabrion> *this problem.
[16:07] <poison> no issues
[16:07] <poison> pls guide me throgh the process to install 8
[16:07] <poison> i desperately need firefox
[16:08] <silverarrow> poison, should be no problem?
[16:08] <luigi> poison: sudo apt-get purge firefox && sudo apt-get install firefox
[16:08] <glebihan> poison, if you want a working firefox I would definitely not recommend version 8 (it's in alpha stage, very unstable)
[16:08] <o0splitpaw0o> poison,  sudo apt-get install firefox or applications >ubuntu software center > firefox
[16:08] <yeats> Yakooza: this may help - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization
[16:08] <poison> silverarrow,  i didnt get you
[16:09] <luigi> poison: The "purge" step should get rid of any configs that are causing crashes.
[16:09] <silverarrow> poison, I mean, firefox should come easily
[16:09] <luigi> Does anyone know what shadowing/hashing mechanism for PAM ubuntu uses?
[16:09] <poison> o0splitpaw0o, i have installed using above process...after installing the firefox if i open it the system is freezing
[16:09] <luigi> poison: Did you run the purge step?
[16:10] <attj> hi, I cannot scrol web pages by pressing mouse 3 and moving up and down. I'm using google chromiun.
[16:10] <sacarlson> poison: I've compiled custom firefox to use with firewatir but normaly the ubuntu build is fine
[16:10] <poison> yes im running it now
[16:10] <poison> its on the way
[16:10] <Phylock> poison - if the "purge" doesn't work, try run a clean profile?
[16:10] <luigi> attj: That's a standard issue in X.
[16:10] <attj> in X?
[16:10] <poison> its going on
[16:10] <poison> 15 minutes remaining
[16:10] <yeats> poison: I had the same problem this morning, btw - system freezes caused by Firefox (with Adobe Flash installed) - installing the Flashblock extension seems to have helped (so far)
[16:10] <luigi> attj: X is the window system behind almost all linux systems.
[16:10] <sabrion> I
[16:11] <imaginois> attj check your compiz settings, maybe there is already assigned something else to button 3
[16:11] <sabrion> I'm going to attempt disabling the track pad on the laptop, see if that doesn't clear up anything.
[16:11] <luigi> attj: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/occjjkgifpmdgodlplnacmkejpdionan
[16:11] <poison> yeats, can you please tell me the exact file name of the extension?
[16:11] <yeats> poison: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/flashblock/
[16:12] <poison> what if i want to watch a youtube video?
[16:12] <yeats> poison: in my case, the plugin-container process was the culprit - I'm still not convinced it's fixed - monitoring closely
[16:13] <yeats> poison: it will show you that there is flash content, but won't automatically load it - if you click, you can view
[16:13] <sabrion> Okay, how does one disable a device?
[16:13] <poison> how do i get my unity feature back?
[16:13] <poison> then, its fine
[16:14] <dandaman> hey, i'm on 11.04 and for some reason, after a while my wireless connection disconnects and the icon for networking from my top bar goes missing. It doesnt reconnect to the wireless network, but I can plug in my phone and tether or use ethernet and the internet works
[16:14] <dandaman> how can i get the icon back without having to restart every time?
[16:15] <Yakooza> What is this "Error loading operating system"? bad install or?
[16:15] <theadmin> dandaman: Seems like a networkmanager crash, can you connect with the terminal?
[16:15] <phillyj> can someone tell me if i can make my terminal transparent such that i can see any window that is behind it?
[16:15] <dandaman> theadmin: do you know the command offhand?
[16:16] <ActionParsnip> phillyj: which terminal?
[16:16] <theadmin> dandaman: It depends on your network encryption type
[16:16] <dandaman> wpa
[16:16] <phillyj> ActionParsnip: the command terminal
[16:16] <ActionParsnip> phillyj: gnome-terminal? konsole? xterm?
[16:17] <ActionParsnip> phillyj: lxterm?
[16:17] <poison> yeats, i have downloaded flahblock
[16:17] <asher^> hi, anyone know where mysql_config is usually located on ubuntu?
[16:17] <poison> now what should i do
[16:17] <glebihan> phillyj, if it's the default gnome terminal, you can change this by right-clicking the terminal, and profile->profile preferences
[16:17] <luigi> Yakooza: Sounds like an install error with the bootloader.

[16:17] <poison> yeats: next step please
[16:17] <decio> hay, I have ubuntu 11.04 but, I would like to test OpenSuse but, does it come with the Wi-Fi servers by default? Because another distros like debian and fedora don't come with it....
[16:18] <phillyj> ActionParsnip: gnome terminal
[16:18] <o0splitpaw0o> poison,  then try this. Remove it, then follow directions here: http://www.howtoforge.com/installing-firefox-4.0-deb-package-on-ubuntu-10.10
[16:18] <yeats> poison: I don't really have a next step...
[16:18] <theadmin> dandaman: Oookay... First do "sudo -i", and then: ifconfig wlan0 up ; wpa_passphrase your_essid "your_passphrase" >> /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf ; echo "ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=admin" ; wpa_supplicant -B -Dwext -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
[16:18] <ActionParsnip> decio: ask in the suse channel
[16:18] <dandaman> thank you kind sir
[16:18] <ActionParsnip> decio: I think you mean drivers, not server
[16:18] <phillyj> glebihan: i tried but it only shows my background
[16:18] <decio> It isn't up, I can't connect to rthe server...
[16:18] <poison> Thank you
[16:18] <poison> anyone having any idea, how to get my unity back
[16:18] <o0splitpaw0o> poison,  welcome.

[16:19] <linxeh> is there a good CLI tool for ripping DVDs to isos? (I want to get my library of dvds onto my NAS so I can put the DVDs in the loft)
[16:19] <glebihan> phillyj, are you using compiz or metacity ?
[16:19] <ActionParsnip> decio: /join #suse
[16:19] <phillyj> glebihan: i dont think so. what are those?
[16:20] <ActionParsnip> linxeh: dd possibly
[16:20] <theadmin> dandaman: No problem. And yes, I know this is complicated as heck :D
[16:20] <dandaman> haha yeah im a little confused on the command already
[16:20] <theadmin> dandaman: There are tools which make configuring network via CLI easier, such as wicd-cli and netcfg
[16:20] <glebihan> phillyj, you're probably using one of those (my question was which one), they are window managers
[16:20] <ActionParsnip> dandaman: copy the command and paste it where you just typed
[16:21] <ActionParsnip> dandaman: its as simple as that, try not to overthink it
[16:21] <dandaman> uhh i'm pretty sure i need to change your_essid and your_passphrase....
[16:21] <poison> how do i get rid of the following error

[16:21] <ActionParsnip> dandaman: sorry mixed wired in my brain
[16:22] <linxeh> ActionParsnip: what about something that can decss them? or is that not something to ask in here ?
[16:22] <glebihan> poison, sudo gpg --kerserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 5A9BF3BB4E5E17B5

[16:22] <dandaman> hmmm, i'm not quite sure how to find out my network's essid
[16:22] <decio> ActionParship, anybody at #suse
[16:22] <ActionParsnip> poison: if you add the ppa with commad line, rather than adding to sources.list it will add the key for you
[16:22] <theadmin> dandaman: Try "iwlist wlan0 scan"

[16:23] <dandaman> doh
[16:23] <volga629> any help welcome and thank you
[16:23] <volga629> I was googling for solution for last few days non of solutions didn't work :-(

[16:24] <volga629> this error http://pastebin.com/THFKzNGt
[16:24] <sabrion> Okay, thanks for the help guys. I found a few utilities that might help with the mouse problem. Good luck!
[16:25] <volga629> that what I have installed http://pastebin.com/RY7JJPJP
[16:25] <theadmin> dandaman: If the CLI works out, you probably should consider getting rid of NetworkManager and using Wicd (the graphical version) instead
[16:26] <dandaman> theadmin: well all the commands ran without a hitch, should i try removing my tethered phone to see if the connection works?
[16:26] <volga629> E: Unable to locate package nvidia-graphics-drivers-173
[16:26] <glebihan> volga629, it's "nvidia-173"
[16:26] <automata> I have installed ubuntu 10.04 to an SSD (Solid state disk).  I am trying to figure out how to make the system immune to problems relating to removing the power plug when the system is ON
[16:27] <o0splitpaw0o> volga629, looks like was attempting to install a new kernel
[16:27] <ActionParsnip> volga629: try the driver installer application
[16:27] <theadmin> dandaman: ...You should've done that first off :D
[16:27] <ActionParsnip> automata: get a UPS
[16:27] <phillyj> is there a terminal that is easy to get true transparency? I just realized there was more than one terminal
[16:27] <dandaman> woops
[16:28] <theadmin> dandaman: It's not a problem. Linux can hold multiple connections up
[16:28] <theadmin> dandaman: But it's just better for the sake of sanity...
[16:28] <theadmin> dandaman: Oh btw
[16:28] <glebihan> phillyj, gnome-terminal can do that if you run compiz, that's why I asked earlier
[16:28] <theadmin> dandaman: If you're using DHCP, you *might* also want to run "dhcpcd wlan0" after you're done with all that
[16:28] <volga629> I tried install from repository didn't work nad right now I downloaded this NVIDIA-Linux-x86-177.80-pkg1.run
[16:28] <theadmin> dandaman: Otherwise you're not getting any IP :D
[16:28] <automata> This is a headless machine controller and will be subject to random power cycling..
[16:28] <volga629> and
[16:28] <dandaman> kk
[16:29] <phillyj> glebihan: i don't know anything abt compiz
[16:29] <ActionParsnip> automata: a UPS will give battery backup when the power dies, keeping the system up
[16:29] <phillyj> i typed it in the terminal and my desktop froze, oops
[16:29] <ThomasB2k> When I restart X in tty1 (Ctrl Alt F1), should I do sudo restart gdm or just restart gdm?
[16:30] <volga629> Trying to run installation, but complain about determine version source
[16:30] <glebihan> phillyj, in terminal type "ps -ef | grep compiz" and use pastebin to show me the output
[16:31] <dandaman> no luck wit hthe dhcp
[16:31] <volga629> o0splitpaw0o: that was a mistake install new kernel :-(
[16:31] <dandaman> theadmin: how can i just restart the network manager?
[16:31] <theadmin> dandaman: Well, meh then... That's the most I could do... To restart the network manager you want something like "sudo service networkmanager restart"
[16:31] <theadmin> dandaman: Also, I really, *really* suggest wicd
[16:31] <theadmin> dandaman: NetworkManager is *weird*
 : I understand that a ups will be helpful. But this machine does not have an interface with monitor and keyboard and the only way to turn it off is power cycling
[16:32] <dandaman> theadmin: will i be able to have a system icon for wicd? i like that convenience
[16:32] <volga629> glebihan: driver nvidida 173 not working with dell e6400 that nvidia card quatro m160
[16:32] <automata> I have even configured the BIOS to power up on application of power and not to wait for the power button to be pressed
[16:32] <theadmin> dandaman: Yes, wicd has that
[16:32] <MrPhi> Hi, I am back. :x
[16:33] <ActionParsnip> automata: then install openssh-server
[16:33] <theadmin> dandaman: I can get a screenshot of how it all looks if you'd like
[16:33] <phillyj> glebihan: http://pastebin.com/DSDXktcB
[16:33] <dandaman> theadmin: interesting, no wireless networks found, im going to screenshot it now
[16:33] <ActionParsnip> automata: you can run:  sudo shutdown -h now     and it will turn off
[16:33] <o0splitpaw0o> volga629,  well possibly no, might of been an update that is all
[16:33] <theadmin> dandaman: In wicd?
[16:33] <jimijix> dows ubuntu recognize hfs+?
[16:33] <dandaman> theadmin: correct
[16:33] <ActionParsnip> !hfs
[16:34] <sabrion> sacarlson: BTNX will debounce.
[16:34] <theadmin> dandaman: Eeh... This happens. Open up the settings, find "wireless interface", put "wlan0" there
[16:34] <jimijix> thanks ActionParsnip
[16:34] <theadmin> dandaman: It doesn't autodetect that
[16:34] <dandaman> theadmin: it is wlan0
[16:34] <theadmin> dandaman: Oh... Interesting
[16:34] <volga629> o0splitpaw0o: yes the problem my laptop down for 2 second day and I don't see solution
[16:34] <theadmin> dandaman: Do you by chance have networkmanager *and* wicd running?
[16:34] <utkarsh_> Hello, I have installled Ubuntu 11.04 Gnome. I am trying to Setup Bluetooth. But I have been unable to. I have tried both : Service Bluetooth Restart and killall bluetoothd, bluetoothd... I tried and searched internet for other methods but have not been able to find one. Can anybody please suggest some other workaround.
[16:34] <theadmin> dandaman: That'd be a problem
[16:35] <sacarlson> sabrion: so that was a solution btnx?
[16:35] <lucidguy_> Anyone recommend a simple light weight website monitor tool?  Looking for something to simply check if a website responds, and if not shoot out an email.
[16:35] <glebihan> phillyj, ok so you're not running compiz and that's probably why you're not getting "true" transparency (I don't think it will work with any terminal app without compiz)
[16:35] <o0splitpaw0o> volga629, I'd run sudo apt-get -f install. anything damaged or misisng will be pulled, but from those massaged, accessing ca.ubuntu.com timing out  I assume a network side issue. not on your side, but to that url whereever it's trying to pull that update from
[16:35] <glebihan> phillyj, if you want to try it, run "compiz --replace"
[16:35] <theadmin> lucidguy_: Um, ping + mailx?
[16:35] <sabrion> sacarlson, Testing it now... config for mouse, but it has settings for repeat delay that the tooltip says will basically debounce mouse clicks.
[16:35] <ActionParsnip> lucidguy_: try telnetting to port 80 on the site, if it connects then it's up
[16:36] <dandaman> http://i.imgur.com/qE58A.png
[16:36] <jimijix> can i tripple boot osx, ubuntu and windows on a macbook?
[16:36] <lucidguy_> ActionParsnip: I need an automated check.
[16:36] <ActionParsnip> jimijix: yes
[16:36] <lucidguy_> theadmin: hmm, sounds like some scripting is in order.
[16:36] <ActionParsnip> lucidguy_: sure, you can cron the job to run every 10 minutes or as you need
[16:36] <dandaman> theadmin: sorry, http://i.imgur.com/qE58A.png and i dont quite know how to find out if network manager is on
[16:36] <SIFTU> lucidguy_: nagios too much?
[16:36] <ActionParsnip> lucidguy_: so yes, it will be automated
[16:36] <theadmin> dandaman: Just stop it
[16:37] <jimijix> ActionParsnip: How do i do this? bootcamp only supports windows?
[16:37] <theadmin> dandaman: sudo service networkmanager stop
[16:37] <lucidguy_> theadmin: and ping only give me the host, not if apache responds
[16:37] <dandaman> theadmin: you can check out that ps aux command, it doesnt seem to be listed there
[16:37] <theadmin> dandaman: Oh, okay
[16:37] <theadmin> lucidguy_: Oh
[16:37] <lucidguy_> SIFTU: yes nagios is overkill
[16:37] <phillyj> glebihan: is it cpu intensive to get transparent terminal?
[16:37] <sacarlson> sabrion: oh I've played with the settings in the past with some of my bad mouse bottons but with no success.  it was like a delay before the click started and later stuck
[16:37] <theadmin> lucidguy_: You should do the telnet thing then
[16:37] <dandaman> theadmin: that command just gave me a networkmanager: unrecognized service
[16:37] <ActionParsnip> lucidguy_: you can write scripts to wget the web page too, then check if it was ok
[16:37] <o0splitpaw0o> volga629, I would connect it via a network cable to the network and run that to repair it. if you have no connection, then check if network is connecting by typing in sudo ifconfig eth0
[16:37] <SIFTU> lucidguy_: well you will want to check the http response codes at least
[16:37] <theadmin> dandaman: Ah, it may also be "network-manager" or "NetworkManager", I don't quite remember how Ubuntu calls things
[16:37] <lucidguy_> ActionParsnip: I thought of wget...  havent looked into it yet.
[16:37] <sabrion> sacarlson, WORKING!
[16:38] <volga629> o0splitpaw0o: the question right now how to restore the nvidia driver
[16:38] <o0splitpaw0o> volga629, should show you an ip there.
[16:38] <ActionParsnip> lucidguy_: if the page is bad, it won't download
[16:38] <sacarlson> sabrion: cool
[16:38] <MrPhi> I try to set up a dual boot vista+kubuntu. But the ext3 drivers for windows only works with a file system with an inode size equal at 128 bytes. So I am reformating my /home (on sda6) with the right inode size (using a gparted liveCD), then I copy all home file on the new home. But Kubuntu cannot find the /home folder.
[16:38] <theadmin> lucidguy_: wget could work
[16:38] <dandaman> theadmin: correct, it was the caps
[16:38] <Jemt> Hi. I've created a .desktop to launch a shell script, which in turn starts a game. But it doesn't work. The command in Exec= works fine when executed from a terminal. I have tried Terminal=true and false, but no luck either way. Any suggestions ?
[16:38] <dandaman> wait what...no
[16:38] <sacarlson> sabrion: so that's another driver or just different settings?
[16:38] <glebihan> phillyj, not really but once you enable compiz you'll have to configure it a little bit in order to disable some plugins if you don't want it to use too much resources
[16:38] <sabrion> sacarlson, It's a config program of some sort.
[16:38] <ActionParsnip> lucidguy_: wget --timeout=0.1 --tries=1 http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/using-wget-to-test-if-a-website-is-up-676231/
[16:39] <ActionParsnip> lucidguy_: etc
[16:39] <sabrion> under synaptics as BTNX with a config program.
[16:39] <automata> I want to try to setup a read only root file system with unionfs or aufs and mount various partitions readonly
[16:39] <phillyj> glebihan: ok, i'll check it out, thx
[16:39] <glebihan> phillyj, you're welcome
[16:39] <theadmin> dancek: Oh... silly Ubuntu... caps are evil :/
[16:39] <sacarlson> sabrion: excelent before I buy a new mouse I'll give it a try
[16:39] <automata> various directories read only
[16:39] <volga629> o0splitpaw0o: is no internet connection problem I am be able go to internet, and network up and running
[16:39] <ActionParsnip> lucidguy_: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2717303/checking-wgets-return-value-if
[16:39] <lucidguy_> ActionParsnip: I think that might be the simplest solution.
[16:39] <sabrion> sacarlson: btnx and btnx-config
[16:39] <automata> this way a power cycle does not corrupt the harddisk
[16:40] <ActionParsnip> lucidguy_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1410513
[16:40] <dandaman> ok, well i stopped network manager, wicd still couldnt find anything so i plugged in my phone again to start it up again, theadmin
[16:40] <MrPhi> Does anyone have an idea about how to use my new home with Kubuntu?
[16:40] <dandaman> i just want the icon back :(
[16:40] <sabrion> sacarlson, You have to register all your buttons, but it's really easy to use. And at the very least, fixed my problem.
[16:40] <dandaman> back in 10.10 i could just remove the system icon and put it back and it would work
[16:40] <o0splitpaw0o> volga629, you can do this. reboot it. at the prompt select "ubuntu recovery mode" > Then select load default driver> This will load a basic vga driver for you. at the login prompt> select "ubuntu classic" (or it will just tell you it has to load into classic mode by default)> Then once in goto System>Administration> Additional Drivers> Select the Recommended Nvidia Driver and apply changes> Then reboot
[16:40] <dandaman> but nooooo i cant do that in 11.04 so easilyt
[16:40] <sabrion> sacarlson, I set the two main buttons for a 15 ms delay. Seems to work perfect for right now.
[16:40] <theadmin> dandaman: I think I can't help anymore then, sorry
[16:41] <MrPhi> "kstartupconfig4 does not exist or fails. The error code is 3. Check."
[16:41] <ActionParsnip> lucidguy_: then just cron the script ;)
[16:41] <utkarsh_> Hello, I have installled Ubuntu 11.04 Gnome. I am trying to Setup Bluetooth. But I have been unable to. I have tried both : Service Bluetooth Restart and killall bluetoothd, bluetoothd... I tried and searched internet for other methods but have not been able to find one. Can anybody please suggest some other workaround.
[16:41] <glebihan> dandaman, did you try relaunching "nm-applet" ? (no sure it's still this one that is used in 11.04 but might be worth the try)
[16:41] <volga629> o0splitpaw0o: that like a solution let me try thank you
[16:41] <dandaman> theadmin: do you know where i can edit the icons that show up in the top right(IE. time, sound, etc...)
[16:42] <o0splitpaw0o> volga629, Then it's just a bad repository it's trying to access right now. run sudo apt-get --autoremove and it will remove conflicting packages and get you stable
[16:42] <ActionParsnip> utkarsh_: if you run:  bluetooth-applet    is it ok?
[16:42] <theadmin> dandaman: No, sorry
[16:42] <theadmin> dandaman: It was obvious earlier, but now they messed it up
[16:43] <utkarsh_> ActionParsnip: I have tried bluetooth-applet....
[16:43] <utkarsh_> But the Bluetooth appears greyed out
[16:43] <utkarsh_> Nothing happens even with restarting the app
[16:44] <volga629> o0splitpaw0o: let me try reocevery mode
[16:44] <dandaman> anyone know if they're going to make the ui any better for 11.10?
[16:44] <ActionParsnip> utkarsh_: if you run:  dmesg | grep -i blu     does it show a bluetooth adapter being picked up?
[16:44] <ActionParsnip> dandaman: unity is default for both 3D and 2D desktop
[16:45] <ActionParsnip> dandaman: Ubuntu Classic is replaced by Unity-2D
[16:45] <utkarsh_> ActionParsnip: I have tried it once... I showed bluetooth adapter. Next time when it was not working... I did not see that...using the same command
[16:45] <volga629> o0splitpaw0o: sudo apt-get -f install nvidia-173-kernel-source  ----> this is solution
[16:46] <enav> hello people i have a 9800 gtx+ video card, i can configure certain settings with no problem using nvdivia-settings manager but for some reason when i restart the computer the option sync to blank is always disabled... i want to force Vertical sync some how
[16:46] <ActionParsnip> dandaman: there is a fork of the original style gnome reported on omgubuntu
[16:46] <volga629> and driver come up properly
[16:47] <utkarsh_> ActionParsnip: Is there a way to turn on the bluetooth directly from the BIOS. As the Bug Report page sayed that the bluetooth works out of the box if it is already on.....
[16:47] <ActionParsnip> utkarsh_: depends on the BIOS, go have a look :)
[16:48] <ActionParsnip> utkarsh_: is there a switch on the keyboard or otherwise to turn bluetooth off and on?
[16:48] <ActionParsnip> utkarsh_: if you run:   lsmod | grep btusb     do you get any output?
[16:48] <utkarsh_> ActionParsnip: Yes there is. For Wireless and Bluetooth. I have tried that as well. It does not work...
[16:49] <utkarsh_> ActionParsnip: I am currently using Windows. I use bluetooth to use internet. So I would have to bboot into ubuntu and run and see. I have not run that commmand
[16:50] <utkarsh_> ActionParsnip: So I would note downn the Commmand. I would shut down and boot into Ubuntu run and come back here and tell you the output.... Can you suggest me what to do in both the cases of failure and success?
[16:50] <ActionParsnip> utkarsh_: i suggest you use another connection to get updated, may help
[16:50] <volga629> o0splitpaw0o; thank you very much for directions and help
[16:51] <ActionParsnip> utkarsh-could also try oneiric in liveCD to test
[16:51] <utkarsh_> ActionParsnip: Ok.. So you are suggesting me to use another source for internet and come online here again...Right?
[16:52] <ActionParsnip> utkarsh_: yes an ethernet connection will probably just work, then you can get updated
[16:52] <jrib> !away > fr0sted-away
[16:53] <utkarsh_> ActionParsnip: I did update ubuntu from the Update Manager when I had the ethernet. Is there another source for Bluetooth module?
[16:54] <antonio_> ciao a tt
[16:54] <ActionParsnip> utkarsh_: its part of the kernel stuffs, you may find you just need the bluetooth module loading

[16:55] <MrPhi> I had too reformat my sda6 (with /home) but I copyed my files with cp -R and not cp -Ra. My new home does not have any hide files and Kubuntu cannot start.
[16:55] <MrPhi> Any solution please? :x
[16:55] <glaucous> I'm trying to install packages in my home folder using dpkg, without root permissions. 'dpkg --force-all --instdir=root2 --install *.deb', however this results in 'operation requires read/write access to dpkg status area'. What are my options here? I can obviously just use --extract as well, but that'll become bothersome.
[16:56] <jrib> glaucous: why are you doing this?
[16:56] <antonio_> !list
[16:56] <theadmin> antonio_: Please stop this.
[16:56] <glebihan> glaucous, you can't install without root permissions
[16:57] <utkarsh_> ActionParsnip: Ok... I would do that... Thanks for the time you gace... Thank you..
[16:57] <glaucous> glebihan: shouldn't be a problem as long as it's just in my home folder. Just extracting the deb files works, but I'll need to keep track of them as well (when uninstalling etc)
[16:59] <glebihan> glaucous, that is precisely what dpkg tries to do when you get the error about the status area, and that's why you won't be able to "install" without root privileges
[16:59] <glebihan> glaucous, but as jrib asked, why are you trying to do this ?
[17:00] <glaucous> glebihan: Yes I do understand that, the --root options should be able to help me here, but no luck there either
[17:00] <glaucous> simple, I don't have any root permissions
[17:00] <antonio_> ciao
[17:00] <ActionParsnip> glaucous: so you aren't in the admin group?
[17:00] <glebihan> glaucous, no the --root option only allows to install in the different location than the default one, it does not change where the dpkg status files are located
[17:00] <theadmin> glaucous: Well, you can't modify the APT/DPKG databases without those
[17:01] <jrib> glaucous: simple solution is to just ask the admin to install the packages you want
[17:02] <glaucous> Thought I'd be able to have a separate DB, but I guess not
[17:03] <glaucous> ActionParsnip: No I'm not
[17:03] <ActionParsnip> glaucous: unlucky
[17:04] <glaucous> yup.. but I got some applications working by editing LD_LIBRARY_PATH at least

[17:09] <miels> I'm having trouble setting up a service - I'm following these directions here (http://howtonode.org/deploying-node-upstart-monit) but after putting an upstart conf in /etc/init I can't execute 'start service'… am I doing something wrong?
[17:10] <kzman> ActionParsnip, no, I ask for a template what I could change, and modify the default settings for new users
[17:10] <ActionParsnip> kzman: /etc/skel has the default stuffs afaik
[17:12] <dandaman> theadmin: found a solution online, running nm-applet &
[17:13] <kzman> ActionParsnip, thank you, that is the idea, but to change the default key config, what are in gconf
[17:13] <coraxx> ActionParsnip: Hi :-) its me again ... do you have a minute ?
[17:13] <ActionParsnip> kzman: hmm, not sure there maybe others can help
[17:13] <ActionParsnip> coraxx: sup?
[17:15] <coraxx> ActionParsnip: Now I'm trying to work with ... BIND9 .... that I'm trying to configure with Samba4 ... I can't seem to get BIND9 to work at all ...remote machines just reports 'server failed' when I do a manual dns-lookup ...what am I missing ?
[17:16] <ActionParsnip> coraxx: not use bind9
[17:17] <coraxx> ActionParsnip: ok ...which one should I use instead ?
[17:18] <ActionParsnip> coraxx: bind9 sounds like what you want, maybe others can help
[17:18] <coraxx> ActionParsnip: you don't know of any other Ubuntu DNS Server software ?
[17:20] <sshtrk> can qt raster work on unity 2d?
[17:21] <ActionParsnip> coraxx: dnsmasq

[17:24] <Pupeno> Is there a user friendly way to access android 3.0 (MTP) from Ubuntu? to copy files.
[17:25] <znf> Hello. I have installed a PPA that has a newer version of a package I'm interested in (deluge 1.3.3) than the repo one, but apt-get / aptitude keeps installing the distro version (1.2.2) - what can I do to force it to get the PPA version?!
[17:25] <theadmin> Pupeno: Internal storage? No real way... SD card?... Stick the SD card in the Ubuntu machine, or connect via USB.
[17:25] <glebihan> znf, did you run "sudo apt-get update" ?
[17:25] <znf> glebihan, yes, ofcourse
[17:26] <glebihan> znf, what does "apt-cache policy deluge" show ?
[17:26] <Pupeno> theadmin: intel? what are you talking about? it's an MTP device, there's no SD card.
[17:26] <theadmin> Oh...
[17:26] <znf> glebihan, candidate 1.2.2-2, doesn't show anything from the PPA
[17:27] <glebihan> znf, weird, how did you add the ppa ?
[17:27] <theadmin> Pupeno: Sorry, I don't quite comprehend those... thingies, what do you call them... Those overgrown phones
[17:27] <Pupeno> theadmin: tablets?
[17:27] <znf> glebihan, add-apt-repository ppa:gwibber-daily/ppa - it created the file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d, it updates from it, but... :-/
[17:27] <WarOp> Does anyone know how to change the Close,Maximize,Minimize buttons on the Metacity to the Right instead of Left
[17:28] <glebihan> znf, what release of ubuntu are you running ?
[17:28] <znf> glebihan, 10.04 LTS
[17:28] <ActionParsnip> glebihan: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deluge-team/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install deluge
[17:29] <theadmin> Pupeno: Yeah, those
[17:29] <glebihan> znf, are you sure of ppa name ? if has nothing to do with deluge ?
[17:29] <derp> Yes hello.
[17:29] <znf> glebihan, oh, holy f*, you're right, I just mindlessly copied the instructions *facepalm*
[17:29] <glebihan> znf, the correct one would be the one ActionParsnip just mentioned
[17:29] <ActionParsnip> glebihan: the command I gave will give 1.3.3
[17:30] <ActionParsnip> glebihan: fyi, I don't use delue. I just websearched
[17:30] <glebihan> ActionParsnip, neither do I
[17:30] <[THC]AcidRain> how do i play encrypted dvds in ubuntu?
[17:30] <ActionParsnip> glebihan: then why ask?
[17:30] <ActionParsnip> !dvd | [THC]AcidRain
[17:31] <glebihan> ActionParsnip, I didn't ask, I was helping znf
[17:31] <ActionParsnip> glebihan: i see, i apologize :(
[17:31] <glebihan> ActionParsnip, no problem
[17:31] <ActionParsnip> :)
[17:35] <akshatha> Hi friends , i am trying to install 'zathura' pdf reader .. but its not able to install via apt-get .. i remember this working previosly .. is there anything i have to add to apt list ? any help please ...thanks
[17:35] <ActionParsnip> akshatha: why not just use evince? it's in a default install
[17:37] <akshatha> ActionParsnip, i am more familiar to zathura since it is vimlike ... so i want that ..
[17:37] <zykotick9> akshatha, what ubuntu version are you using?  according to https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zathura it seems to be in maverick and natty
[17:38] <akshatha> zykotick9, i am using 10.04 .. i also did apt-get install update .. is this enough ?
[17:38] <gentoo-intel> akshatha, does it have to be cli?
[17:38] <zykotick9> akshatha, check for a PPA for 10.04 would be my recommendation.  Good luck.
[17:38] <Benkinooby> irc.quakenet.org
[17:39] <Night-hacks> im in 10.04, can i install fresh 11.04 and chroot to that ?
[17:39] <akshatha> gentoo-intel, nope .. i can try installvia synaptec also .. i ll try
[17:39] <lukinfore> Hi. Should gksudo start gui (non-root) apps fine? I mean without using sux, or xhost?
[17:40] <lukinfore> It prints no error, just silently quit
[17:40] <akshatha> zykotick9, what is PPA .. sorry i couldn't figure out ... any pointers ..?
[17:40] <StayInSkool> hey there folks
[17:40] <gentoo-intel> akshatha, maybe you typed the name wrong idk. id use evince though as its built in already. its not hard to use
[17:40] <zykotick9> !ppa | akshatha
[17:40] <StayInSkool> are there any alternative synaptics drivers out there?
[17:40] <themonkeymixer> thanks to whomever provided the info :) worked great
[17:40] <StayInSkool> this one's been driving me nuts. cursor jumping around, tapping only works when the cursor comes to a complete stop etc
[17:40] <ActionParsnip> akshatha: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pomeo/zathura ; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install zathura
[17:42] <akshatha> ActionParsnip, thanks very much dude .. it worked .. it was in ppa ..
[17:42] <ActionParsnip> akshatha: simple websearching dude
[17:42] <akshatha> ActionParsnip, sorry .. i am a newbie .. i couldn't figure out ..
[17:43] <ActionParsnip> akshatha: but not new to websearching...?
[17:43] <akshatha> ActionParsnip, yep .. newly started to use computer .. ;-)
[17:44] <gentoo-intel> and you use vim?
[17:45] <drool> i'm wondering if linux is actually a good beginner's OS
[17:45] <whiz_> all men use vim
[17:45] <gentoo-intel> ubuntu package manager is for babies
[17:45] <StayInSkool> grr, the cursor keeps moving a lot more than i'm moving it
[17:45] <whiz_> drool, that's a silly question
[17:45] <gentoo-intel> ofc its easy
[17:45] <gentoo-intel> StayInSkool, maybe its accel?
[17:45] <StayInSkool> I don't think it's anywhere close to easy considering how many things can go wrong heh
[17:45] <drool> ^
[17:45] <whiz_> what's wrong with dropping out of hs?
[17:45] <drool> that said,
[17:45] <gentoo-intel> StayInSkool, only because it works different and new users dont know the commands
[17:46] <o0splitpaw0o> hmm
[17:46] <gentoo-intel> everyone knows windows stuff
[17:46] <o0splitpaw0o> load ~/ircspeak.pl
[17:46] <StayInSkool> gentoo-intel: I don't think users are supposed to 'know commands'
[17:46] <drool> atleast you can't get stuff life Bonzi Buddy and Comet Cursor or linux. :P
[17:46] <ActionParsnip> drool: linux is fine for all levels
[17:46] <drool> on*
[17:46] <StayInSkool> this really isn't the place to ask this question anyway. try your grandma
[17:47] <ActionParsnip> drool: hahaha
[17:47] <StayInSkool> "grandma, here's an ipad, an android tablet, a mac, a windows machine and a ubuntu machine. try to figure out how to check your email and I'll be back in an hour
[17:47] <drool> iPad is probably the most convenient, there.
[17:47] <drool> Big. Shiny. Buttons.
[17:47] <ActionParsnip> although slowest
[17:47] <StayInSkool> ActionParsnip: the grandma cares.. how?
[17:48] <gentoo-intel> StayInSkool, i think my grandma would find ubuntu easier than windows tiny little mess of a  ui
[17:48] <ActionParsnip> StayInSkool: android needs you to log in with your email address, so its already configured at startup
[17:48] <StayInSkool> gentoo-intel: you're probably right. with unity on
[17:48] <gentoo-intel> or plain gnome
[17:48] <gentoo-intel> theyre both big
[17:49] <epzil0n> o,O
[17:49] <ActionParsnip> StayInSkool: technically zero config
[17:50] <StayInSkool> ActionParsnip: I think you've just pointed out why ubuntu isn't the easiest OS for newbies :D
[17:50]  * epzil0n thinks a Mac is way easier to use for n00bs
[17:50] <StayInSkool> also yeah, mouse acceleration is on
[17:50] <orchata> Hi guys, I cannot change the date of my computer ubuntu 11.04.   When I press "Unlock to change these settings" a window appears and disappears immediately, without any promt for password. How can I investigate the problem?
[17:51] <ActionParsnip> StayInSkool: its easier than a tonne of other distros, thunderbid has a nice gmail wizard built in ;)
[17:51] <StayInSkool> it is definitely the easiest
[17:51] <ActionParsnip> StayInSkool: i dunno, xpud is fairly simple too if you ask me
[17:51] <StayInSkool> just not the easiest to pick up among other OSs
[17:51] <StayInSkool> nothing wrong with that. it's getting there
[17:51] <gentoo-intel> StayInSkool, thats because your used to Windows. just stay with it
[17:52] <gentoo-intel> the cli puts everyone off
[17:52] <StayInSkool> gentoo-intel: nice assumptions there
[17:52] <ActionParsnip> gentoo-intel: +1 dude
[17:52] <fs> hallo, i bought laptop with Ubuntu and if i want to install some programs or change something... everytime have to write password, which i dont know
[17:52] <fs> is it possible to see somewhere this password ??
[17:52] <ActionParsnip> fs: its the same password as youo log in with
[17:52] <StayInSkool> gentoo-intel: I haven't used a windows machine for more than an hour in a few years now
[17:52] <gentoo-intel> StayInSkool, mac then?
[17:53] <StayInSkool> and linux yeah
[17:53] <oCean> StayInSkool, gentoo-intel: please take the discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic if you wish to continue
[17:53] <StayInSkool> and I've dealt with a large number of newbie users as part of various usability stuies
[17:53] <gentoo-intel> StayInSkool, ok well macs are built with failsafe hardware and are made to just work, so not much can go wrong lol
[17:53] <StayInSkool> oCean: cool. i'm not feeling like taking this much further anyhow :P
[17:53]  * epzil0n agrees with oCean
[17:54] <ActionParsnip> fs: you can reset the password in root recovery mode
[17:54] <gentoo-intel> StayInSkool, try xset m 0 0 see if the mosue feels better
[17:54] <StayInSkool> also, it keeps skipping keyboard keys but I think it might be this laptop..
[17:54] <StayInSkool> gentoo-intel: thanks, let me try
[17:54] <gentoo-intel> StayInSkool, it will be slower
[17:55] <StayInSkool> hmm. if i put my finger on but do not move it the cursor moves a bit on its own
[17:56] <gentoo-intel> I have no exp with touchpads at all
[17:56] <BetaJunkie> Might anyone know where amarok stores it's list of podcast subscriptions? Not where the podcasts are themselves, but some kind of list of the RSS feeds?
[17:56] <gentoo-intel> Maybe it's just more sensitive than other os because of different driver
[17:57] <Whabo> Helllo
[17:57] <StayInSkool> gentoo-intel: it's odd, I think it's fine on the macbook which is using the same synaptics driver AFAIK
[17:57] <StayInSkool> it's definitely fine under win 7
[17:58] <ActionParsnip> StayInSkool: what model laptop (please be a sony)
[17:58] <StayInSkool> it isn't
[17:58] <ezeqlo> how can i install nvdiria drivers for gforce 525m ?
[17:58] <Amin> lol
[17:58] <StayInSkool> a monsterous Asus G73.. something
[17:58] <StayInSkool> G73m? or something
[17:58] <aeon-ltd> !nvidia > ezeqlo
[17:58] <ActionParsnip> ezeqlo: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
[17:59] <StayInSkool> speaking of that! the nvidia driver keeps flashing a frame of black now and then, due to the PowerMizer apparently
[17:59] <ActionParsnip> StayInSkool: if you run:  lsmod | grep mouse     do you see psmouse?
[17:59] <StayInSkool> so many issues with this thing heh
[17:59] <StayInSkool> psmouse
[17:59] <ezeqlo> i already have latest version
[17:59] <MrWilly> having yet another problem installing 10.04 32-bit.  I can successfully create the necessary ext4 partition using gparted, but when I try to allow the installation process to do it, it completely fails.  any knows issues in this regard?
[18:00] <ezeqlo> but doesnt work ok
[18:00] <ActionParsnip> StayInSkool: try:   options psmouse proto=imps    or     options psmouse proto=bare     in /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.conf
[18:00] <StayInSkool> will do ActionParsnip. thanks!
[18:00] <ActionParsnip> StayInSkool: or: options psmouse proto=exps
[18:01] <StayInSkool> will restarting gdm do the trick or I need to do a full reboot?
[18:01] <DrDamnit> What's the syntax for the find command to find all files of type *.avi in the current directory and below?
[18:01] <ActionParsnip> StayInSkool: just unload then reload the reload the module, it will apply the options
[18:02] <MrWilly> DrDamnit, find . -type f -name "*.avi"
[18:02] <zykotick9> DrDamnit, "find ./ -name *.avi" would also probably work
[18:02] <MrWilly> zykotick9, yeah, my -type f is quite unnecessary, but it's habitual
[18:03] <SIFTU> I prefer -iname but anyway
[18:03] <ActionParsnip> +1 for iname
[18:03] <DrDamnit> Thanks guys... I wasn't quoting the *.avi, so it wasn't working. I knew it had to be user error!
[18:03] <zykotick9> MrWilly, i was impressed - very accurate response ;)
[18:03] <stowoda> hi, how can I scroll up in terminal without using the mouse?
[18:03] <MrWilly> zykotick9, it's my job :)
[18:03] <ActionParsnip> DrDamnit: the quotes allow for spaces in the filename
[18:04] <dylan13> So i think i might need a little guidance, i messed up a ubuntu install on my brand new computer
[18:04] <MrWilly> zykotick9, now, might you have any insight into my drive partitioning and formatting issue?
[18:05] <ActionParsnip> dylan13: details please
[18:05] <zykotick9> MrWilly, why are you using parted?  Can't you just use the installer's partitioner?
[18:05] <zykotick9> s/parted/gparted/
[18:05] <MrWilly> zykotick9, that's the problem.  the installer's partitioner fails entirely, roughly four or five minutes in
[18:05] <ActionParsnip> fr0sted: please don't away like that
[18:05] <StayInSkool> ActionParsnip: all those psmouse modes make the cursor move in a very choppy manner
[18:05] <wildc4rd> evenin all
[18:05] <Night-hacks> arm-linux-gcc is not available for  10.04 where can i find ppa or source code for compile ?
[18:05] <dylan13> I tried to install Ubuntu along side windows 7, i created 2 basically equal partitions using the tools in windows
[18:05] <fr0sted> ActionParsnip away like what sorry ?
[18:05] <zykotick9> MrWilly, sorry, i have no suggestions then - good luck.
[18:05] <StayInSkool> also it seems to accelerate vertically a lot more than horizontally
[18:06] <ActionParsnip> (19:05:20) fr0sted-away is now known as fr0sted
[18:06] <fr0sted> np
[18:06] <ActionParsnip> StayInSkool: you'll need to find the module option, you could blacklist the module, see if it loads something else on boot
[18:06] <dylan13> i loaded up the install disk and it seemed that there was no space on the hard drive so i deleted the partition i created that had nothing saved to it
[18:07] <dylan13> and installed according to http://www.linuxbsdos.com/2011/05/22/how-to-dual-boot-windows-7-and-ubuntu-11-04/
[18:07] <ActionParsnip> fr0sted: thanks :)
[18:07] <dylan13> and now neither windows 7 or ubuntu will start up
[18:07] <witeds_> hello i was wondering is there a way to say mount a file in the home directory
[18:08] <zykotick9> witeds_, "mount a file" what are you trying to do?
[18:08] <witeds_> im trying to make a program portable and i need to mount files form the external device to the home directory
[18:08] <SIFTU> witeds_: you could symlink
[18:08] <linuxuser55> hi everyone
[18:08] <jrib> witeds_: block devices are mounted, not files
[18:08] <linuxuser55> can someone help me
[18:08] <linuxuser55> :D
[18:09] <linuxuser55> does anyone have time to help
[18:09] <witeds_> ok what would be the cli for simlyinking
[18:09] <zykotick9> witeds_, it's quite possible to mount external devices into a directory in your home folder?!
[18:09] <SIFTU> ln -s <source> <dest>
[18:09] <jrib> witeds_: ln -s TARGET NAME, but I think you should better explain what it is you are trying to accomplish
[18:09] <ActionParsnip> linuxuser55: ask and see
[18:09] <SIFTU> yeah or you could mount the drive.. which isnt a file, but rather a filesystem
[18:09] <zykotick9> witeds_, ln isn't going to help, if the device is not mounted
[18:09] <linuxuser55> Smokin' Guns/smokinguns.x86: error while loading shared libraries: libXxf86dga.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
