[19:43] <th__> if i have a scipt x.sh how do i make it so that i can call it straight from the command line just typing x?
[19:43] <Andres__> schnuffle , I didnt see that file or text, i tried sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start  but it was already running.
[19:43] <AlienDogFear> tntc: Okay; thanks!
[19:43] <tntc> AlienDogFear: make backups!
[19:43] <Stereocaulon> manbra_linux, you want the install to complete silently, with every option set to default?
[19:43] <Success> hey what were you talking about i can add gnome-classic to the sessions dropdown menu earlier
[19:43] <Gargoylle> AlienDogFear, gnome2 gets uninstalled. toghether with all of the interface. unity is installed instead.
[19:43] <IsmAvatar> Anyways, can anyone help me get digital audio working after upgrading to Oneiric broke it?
[19:43] <AlienDogFear> Gargoylle: Thanks for the heads up; I was aware that gnome might go away. Thanks!
[19:44] <offby1> I just upgraded to 11.10 and hate the new UI.  How can I go back to the way it was in 11.04?
[19:44] <mlechner> guido1955: use the *.tar.gz version instead of the *.sh installer unpack this archive and copy the file to ~./.mozilla/plugins/ (may be you have to tell your filemanager to show hidden files. otherwise you win't be able to see folders and fiels beginning with a dot.
[19:44] <manbra_linux> Stereocaulon, yes
[19:44] <bazhang> Success, read the notunity factoid this time please
[19:44] <Aleo> what was the name of a program from ubuntu that do some tweaks and also clean the system ? did not remember the name
[19:44] <bazhang> !notunity | Success
[19:44] <schnuffle> Andres__:  gdm uses the local display which you don't have
[19:44] <rumpe1> th__, you make it executable, rename it to "x" (without .sh) and put it in your PATH ("echo $PATH").
[19:45] <tntc> is the gnome-shell version 3.2? or a lower version?
[19:45] <Gargoylle> lasha, you can do a repair with the windows installation disk. or backup your mbr.
[19:45] <Success> can i have both
[19:45] <Stereocaulon> manbra_linux, a bit of a warning here, this will overwrite all your previous preferences when it comes to sound and even menu items.
[19:45] <bazhang> Success, there is no classic, so no
[19:45] <Andres__> schnuffle , Alright so how would I run it?  Because I didnt see the thing you told me since this is like my 3 vpc session
[19:45] <manbra_linux> Stereocaulon, that is fine.
[19:45] <lasha> gargoylle how do i backup mbr ? :S cause i dont have a cd rom on my laptop :S
[19:45] <Success>  oh so its like an app
[19:46] <tntc> bazhang: related to gnome3, is it version 3.2, or lower?
[19:46] <th__> rumpe1, thanks :) now a noob Q: how do i make a .sh to executable?
[19:46] <Stereocaulon> manbra_linux, http://serverfault.com/questions/463/how-can-i-configure-unattended-installation-of-ubuntu
[19:46] <strigoi> nick strigoi
[19:46] <mike47> Anyone see reports of packet loss using Intel EEPro100 wired ethernet on 11.10? I'm seeing 30-60% packet loss on internal network.
[19:46] <schnuffle> Andres__: you can access your server through ssh?
[19:46] <manbra_linux> Stereocaulon, thank you
[19:46] <Andres__> yeah
[19:46] <IsmAvatar> I need help getting digital audio working after upgrading to Oneiric broke it.
[19:46] <Stereocaulon> th__ use chmod +x <file to make executable>
[19:47] <Gargoylle> offby1, you cant. unfortunately. practically speaking.
[19:47] <Gargoylle> aleo, bleachit???
[19:47] <Andres__> schnuffle , yes I can acess it
[19:47] <th__> Stereocaulon, :) thanks
[19:47] <pvh_sa> i'm trying to get my head around the new unity.... alt-tab between apps, what switches between windows in an app?
[19:47] <offby1> Gargoylle: I hope you're wrong
[19:47] <raven> mouse icon not visible 11.10 - any solution?
[19:47] <tanath> how do you change user shell in 11.10? User Accounts no longer has detailed settings...
[19:47] <rfm_> schnuffle: I'm running into the same problem that I had before with the boot USB stick. It tries to detect a CD-ROM drive and fails, end of setup
[19:47] <rumpe1> th__, chmod +x file.sh (if everyone should be allowed to execute it)
[19:48] <schnuffle> Andres__: so login as the user you want to execute vncserver, and then start vncserver
[19:48] <Stereocaulon> th__ to start any executable, just enter the directory it is in and start it with ./<executable file>
[19:48] <nup> for pvh_sa try ctrl+tab to switch between windows
[19:48] <tanath> is there no app for it anymore? do i have to poke config file?
[19:48] <Gargoylle> offbyl. I couldnt get it back on my machine.. so now ı am doing a reinstall. :(
[19:48] <magik_> guntbert: man when you said that sudo su can f*ck the linux you did you mean like loosing toolbars and desktop ? :S
[19:48] <th__> Stereocaulon, im gonna make it to my $path
[19:48] <Fleck> samba failed to update when installing 11.10 on 11.04
[19:48] <bazhang> magik_, no cursing here
[19:48] <Gargoylle> sorry there.
[19:49] <magik_> bazhang: that why i used * =)
[19:49] <Bragex9> So, when I am having trouble loading the unity desktop the solution is to install gnome instead?
[19:49] <Stereocaulon> th__, ok but I advice you to dedicate a directory for that, like ~/local/bin
[19:49] <bkrstajic> Hello. I am currently using Ubuntu 8.10
[19:49] <bkrstajic>                 - the Intrepid Ibex, and today I wanted to switch to latest version.
[19:49] <bkrstajic> I decided to create bootable USB stick. Did everything as described (downloaded iso file, used "create USB startup" application and got information that this part went fine. Now, when I restart computer (it is a HP 6735s laptop) I have this message (after selecting boot from usb):
[19:49] <bkrstajic> boot:
[19:49] <bkrstajic> whatever I enter the message is: "Could not find kernel image:"
[19:49] <FloodBot1> bkrstajic: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:49] <schnuffle> rfm_:  so you can boot from the usb stick but then it tries to find a CD?
[19:49] <dmorfin> ouch. installing gnome-panel conflicts flashplugin, vlc, qt, etc, etc...
[19:49] <Andres__> schnuffle , I did... but this is all I see when I am in it... http://i.imgur.com/B8scu.png
[19:49] <magik_> guntbert: are ya here =
[19:49] <guntbert> magik_: mind your language please  - those might be possible problems, yes
[19:50] <schnuffle> Andres__:  ls -a ~
[19:50] <magik_> guntbert: ok so is there any way to fix it :S ? couse i did it ...
[19:50] <th__> rumpe1, thank you :)
[19:50] <raven> mouse icon not visible 11.10 - any solution?
[19:50] <Stereocaulon> dmorfin, gnome-panel is an afterthought, it is not well integrated into the system and it does not offer the full Gnome2 experience you had in 11.04
[19:50] <th__> Stereocaulon, for what? :)
[19:50] <schnuffle> Andres__: and don't use it as root setup a normal user
[19:50] <Andres__> schnuffle ,  ok
[19:50] <BlackBishop> on a headless server .. trying to run pulseaudio
[19:50] <Andres__> schnuffle ,  I got ".   .Xauthority    .bashrc  .config  .gconf   .profile  .pulse-cookie  .vnc ..  .bash_history  .cache   .dbus    .gconfd  .pulse    .viminfo "
[19:51] <BlackBishop> E: [pulseaudio] server-lookup.c: Unable to contact D-Bus: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NotSupported: Unable to autolaunch a dbus-daemon without a $DISPLAY for X11
[19:51] <rfm_> schnuffle: Yes
[19:51] <BlackBishop> why the heck does it want X ?!
[19:51] <tntc> Is there a semi-supported way to get gnome 3.2 on ubuntu?
[19:51] <tom_afterburn> hello could someone help me with google earth please
[19:51] <Stereocaulon> th__, security reasons, you'll want to separate directories with executable rights from non-executable directories.
[19:51] <guntbert> magik_: there certainly is a way, only I don't know the actual steps - sorry
[19:51] <rorymckinley> tntc: you can install gnome-shell from the repos for 11.10
[19:51] <Gargoylle> lasha, do a google search for backup mbr. there are some freeware to do it together with the manuals. its a very specific issue. basically, you create a bootable usb drive and put the software on it then run. but someone has created a complete bootable mbr backup restore thingy I believe.
[19:51] <raven> mouse icon not visible 11.10 - any solution?
[19:51] <tanath> so is it just me or did they lose a bunch of features in the new User Accounts app? no shell options or anything...
[19:51] <tntc> rorymckinley: is that version 3.2 though?
[19:51] <dmorfin> Stereocaulon: so... how do I edit the freedesktop.org standard menus in 11.10?
[19:52] <BlackBishop> so, any chance to get pulseaudio to run without dbus/x11 ?
[19:52] <guyfriday> alright i'm still trying to get around this plymouth mountfail, and i'm starting in recovery mode, but i can't figure out how to change anything from recovery mode
[19:52] <rorymckinley> tntc: let me confirm
[19:52] <tntc> rorymckinley: thanks!
[19:52] <Stereocaulon> th__, actually, that is a bit of a misnomer, there is technically no such thing as an executable directory, I mean the directories you've included in your executable path
[19:52] <magik_> guntbert: can you please help me couse i am new in linux and i sure cant fix this without reinstall linux =(
[19:52] <mrjbar> Has anyone had a problem with gstreamer-properties not saving your settings? I'm trying to change the video default input, but the changes don't save.
[19:52] <tntc> Unity is ok, but I really like Gnome3's hot corner
[19:52] <tanath> anyone know the difference between keepass2 and keepassx?
[19:52] <FireRailz> what irc command do you use to ignore all the signoffs it'll make the chatroom easier for me to read with my screen reader
[19:52] <jnns> hey, I updated to oneiric and keyboard isn't working after logging in. Does anyone know how to fix this?
[19:53] <rorymckinley> tntc: I have version 3.2.0-0ubu installed (per aptitude)
[19:53] <delac> should "gnome-shell-extensions-user-theme" be in the repositories?
[19:53] <Stereocaulon> dmorfin, I don't know, you'll have to ask someone else
[19:53] <tntc> rorymckinley: tanks mon!
[19:53] <Andres__> schnuffle ,  so what should I do now?
[19:53] <th__> Stereocaulon, any idea what this means: "Mathematica front end executable"
[19:53] <th__> /usr/local/sbin/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/Binaries/Linux-x86-64/Mathematica
[19:53] <th__> not found. Your Mathematica installation may be incomplete
[19:53] <th__> or corrupted.
[19:53] <BlackBishop> so, anybody ?
[19:53] <tanath> jnns, uneventful upgrade?
[19:53] <offby1> Gargoylle: OK, I've more or less succeeded: I installed gnome-panel and gnome-tweak-tool, logged out, clicked the gear icon at the login screen and chose "gnome classic", then logged in.  ALl my panel icons were gone, but after re-adding them, things seem tolerable
[19:53] <rorymckinley> tntc: no prob - just be aware if you have an ATI video card, chances are that gnome 3 may have issues with the driver
[19:54] <Stereocaulon> th__, sounds like the executable to start the Mathematica GUI
[19:54] <guntbert> magik_: I will try, but for the future: please don't recommend commands that you don't understand yourself!!

[19:54] <dmorfin> Does anyone know how to edit freedesktop.org standard menus in 11.10 without installing gnome-panel?  Or how to install gnome-panel without disabling things like flash?
[19:54] <tntc> rorymckinley: Intel or NVidia on all my machines (mostly because of previous problems with ATI!) Thanks for the heads up though :)
[19:54] <schnuffle> Andres__:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=122402
[19:54] <rorymckinley> tntc: lucky man :)
[19:54] <magik_> guntbert: thank you man =) i wont =(
[19:54] <th__> Stereocaulon, yes that is what im trying to do. so i can launch it from the command line just typing mathematica
[19:55] <Stereocaulon> th__, you'll have to look that up in the manual files of Mathematica or get in touch with Wolfram support
[19:55] <guntbert> magik_: I have to do some lookups, I'll call when I am back
[19:55] <magik_> guntbert: ok thanks
[19:55] <schnuffle> rfm_: that is really strange
[19:55] <Kingsy> where abouts in the menu can you change the settings for the gtk window decorator?
[19:55] <Andres__> schnuffle: alright I will try it
[19:56] <Andres__> schnuffle: thanks alot!!!!!
[19:56] <th__> Stereocaulon, i made the .sh to executable. isnt it possible to make it variable or something?
[19:56] <bkrstajic> Can anybody help with this issue - booting from usb.
[19:56] <Success> Debian:ubuntu::Redhat:?
[19:56] <fritsch> Success: parse error
[19:56] <tanath> anyone know the difference between keepass2 and keepassx?
[19:56] <robin0800> Kingsy, install gnome-tweak-tool
[19:56] <Success> anyone?
[19:57] <Kingsy> thanks
[19:57] <schnuffle> Success: all of them and suse as well :)
[19:57] <Stereocaulon> th__ you can define bash variables, but I'm not to sure what you would achieve with that in order to get Mathematica running.
[19:57] <Lafiir> tanath: kp2 runs on mono but has way more features
[19:57] <tanath> anyone know if there's an app to change users' shell in 11.10? or is that another feature that got lost?
[19:57] <Pen16> Hello, i updated and it jacked the display up my ubuntu and can now only run under 'safe mode'
[19:57] <Success> ubuntu is the only debian too, or no?
[19:58] <tanath> Lafiir, hm, thx. what kind of features?
[19:58] <Pen16> was wondering if anybody could help me?
[19:58] <schnuffle> Success: mint, check distrowatch.com
[19:58] <Stereocaulon> tanath, click on the gear to choose the shell you want
[19:58] <Andres__> schnuffle: wait,now I am getting.... (gedit:1659): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
[19:58] <D3RGPS31> how do i enable autologin in gdm :l
[19:58] <rfm_> schnuffle: Yeah so turns out USB stick installs for /server/ editions of ubuntu are horribly broken
[19:58] <tanath> Stereocaulon, no gear. and i mean shell not desktop environment
[19:58] <th__> Stereocaulon, mathematica runs just fine but instead of typing the whole path to it i would prefer just "mathematica". sorry for my english
[19:58] <rfm_> they're fine for desktop versions
[19:58] <rfm_> apparently
[19:59] <schnuffle> rfm_:  I've never had a problem and the problem is the the usb stick builder
[19:59] <Stereocaulon> tanath, you should be able to choose the default shell with gnomeconfig. I have no experience with that in Gnome3 though
[20:00] <tanath> Stereocaulon, no such file....
[20:00] <Randolf> can I install ubuntu from an external harddisk?
[20:00] <illmortal> soooo.... anyone else have their ubuntu hanging at startup? lol
[20:00] <IsmAvatar> I need help getting digital audio working after upgrading to Oneiric broke it.
[20:00] <nordle> illmortal: yes
[20:00] <tanath> Stereocaulon, also, i'm not sure you understand what i'm after. shell = bash, zsh, etc
[20:00] <Stereocaulon> !configuration | tanath
[20:00] <rfm_> schnuffle: What versions of ubuntu have you done this with
[20:01] <schnuffle> rfm_:  9.04,10.04 and 11.04
[20:01] <Stereocaulon> tanath, yes I understood that, you meant command line shell (CLI)
[20:01] <tanath> Stereocaulon, in 11.04 and before there were settings in the users and groups app. most features are missing from Users now
[20:01] <rfm_> schnuffle: Ok so... what are you doing differently?
[20:01] <schnuffle> rfm_: that's the big question :)
[20:01] <tanath> Stereocaulon, that bot poke did nothing, BTW
[20:02] <nordle> illmortal: ssh into box from another showed segfaults on unity-greeter for me.  Then segfaults on nss_compat and plymuth.  I've had a desktop once in the last 10 reboots.  Am trying lots of things, currently xubuntu-desktop.  In the hope I can get desktop back.
[20:02] <illmortal> anyone know what's the fix with system hanging using gdm not lightdm?
[20:02] <rfm_> schnuffle: Okay so I FINALLY got into recovery mode and I can run grub-install and such.
[20:02] <schnuffle> rfm_: have you checked the md5sum of your iso download, to make sure the downloaded image is correct?
[20:02] <rfm_> "grub-install /dev/anything" gives me the "no mapping exists for md0" error
[20:02] <rfm_> schnuffle: Yes
[20:02] <Lafiir> tanath: best check their websites. keepassx is more like keepass1 in comparison to kp2
[20:03] <guido1955> I installed ubuntu 11:10 to run alongside my main OS (win XP pro) how do I remove all traces of Ubuntu? I intend to re-install Ubuntu again but waht it completely gone first
[20:03] <illmortal> nordle... sadly I thnk I might re-install ubuntu... starting to feel like ubuntu reminds me of windows.
[20:03] <tanath> Lafiir, thanks
[20:03] <guntbert> magik_: just for a diagnose: please open a terminal and  type the following command:    find . ! -u <hereComesYourAccountName>, don't paste the output here into the channel, just tell me if there are several lines
[20:03] <Stereocaulon> tanath, so I've gathered yes. Anyway, you should be able to select your non-graphical command shell, by editing the passwd file in /etc/passwd
[20:03] <Andres__> nvm, ran export DISPLAY=<IP_ADDRESS>:0
[20:03] <Kingsy> is the emerald window decorator available in the ubuntu reops?

[20:03] <tanath> Stereocaulon, i'm aware of that, but i need gui method as well
[20:03] <schnuffle> rfm_: and paste the output of mount ( to pastebin )
[20:03] <mindmonkey> Hello, does anyone know how I can complete an unfinished upgrade to ubuntu 11.10 that shows a black X11 and no network?
[20:03] <nordle> illmortal: I upgraded my mythbuntu 11.04 box to 11.10 and the same with desktop.  Desktop PC went fine.  Mythbuntu box now no desktop :(
[20:04] <illmortal> mine started hanging as soon as I installed XBMC -.-
[20:04] <Stereocaulon> tanath, sorry, I'm an absolute beginner in Unity, I'm struggling with it myself, you'll have to ask someone else, but I am interested in the answer as well ;-)
[20:04] <magik_> guntbert:  find: predicado «-u» no válido
[20:05] <rfm_> schnuffle: Not really possible...
[20:05] <magik_> guntbert:  it says find not valid =S

[20:06] <schnuffle> rfm_: when I had problems it was always due to the usb stick not being built correclty
[20:06] <illmortal> me too nordle.. people keep blaming lightdm. not gdm so I don' t know what to do at this point.
[20:06] <tanath> Stereocaulon, if they hadn't called gnome 3 'gnome shell' it'd be much easier to google
[20:06] <Kingsy> is the emerald window decorator available in the ubuntu reops?
[20:06] <schnuffle> Andres__: when you do what?
[20:07] <bazhang> !find emerald
[20:07] <Andres__> sudo gedit /etc/xinetd.d/Xvnc
[20:07] <Andres__> "(gedit:1822): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: "
[20:07] <rfm_> schnuffle: How did you build the USB stick
[20:07] <magik_> guntbert:  so i put find . ! -u x-press right ?
[20:07] <Stereocaulon> tanath, you might want to lookup some settings in the Ubuntu Desktop Guide, reachable through help when you click on an empty piece of desktop
[20:07] <schnuffle> Andres__: of course as long as you don't have a display setup you need to use vi
[20:07] <bazhang> Kingsy, emerald was stopped being developed and maintained a long while ago
[20:07] <guntbert> magik_: yes
[20:07] <rfm_> okay now it's fucking installing from the network again argh
[20:08] <magik_> guntbert: i get error :/
[20:08] <oCean> rfm_: control your language here, please
[20:08] <bazhang> rfm_, no cursing here
[20:08] <Stereocaulon> tanath, and indeed, some naming choice are a bit unfortunate from a search engine's point of view ;-)

[20:08] <magik_> guntbert: is there any difference if i use xubuntu not ubuntu ?
[20:08] <tanath> Stereocaulon, not for me
[20:08] <Andres__> schnuffle: Yeah but in the tut you showed me it told me to run that? So what would be the command to run?
[20:08] <bazhang> ghusson1, english please
[20:08] <cantonic> hey guys. anyone here who can do a siege test for me? sorry for asking here, but i did not know where to ask :/
[20:08] <ghusson1> sorry
[20:08] <endeavormac> now that i've switched to oneiric and i'm giving this unity thing a try, can anyone recommend a good, simple, dark theme? I do a lot of late night programming
[20:08] <tanath> Stereocaulon, i'm on gnome classic
[20:08] <Kingsy> bazhang: see the problem is.. I am running xfce with compiz.. and I need a window decorator that I can tweak to my liking.. at the moment I have gtk-window-decorator installed.. but I cant seem to find the menu in xfce to configure it.. and I assume thats cos its gnome?
[20:09] <tanath> Stereocaulon, which is shameful compared to gnome 2 >_<
[20:09] <wolter> endeavormac, vim?
[20:09] <wolter> can I install ubuntu from a harddisk?
[20:09] <schnuffle> rfm_: As I had only a desktop install on usb I used it to install and ripped of the parts I didn't need and to build it I used once yumi, once unetbootin ( which is wacky ) and once I created it by my own with dd
[20:09] <guntbert> magik_: no, doesn't make a difference, please paste the error message (if it is just one line, else use a !pastebin)
[20:09] <Lafiir> Is there a way to close Qwibber in 11.10? Quiting just sends it back to panel.
[20:09] <endeavormac> wolter: sometimes.
[20:09] <ryan_46> If I control alt f1 into virtual console, how do I get back to the desktop. service gdm does not work.
[20:09] <Stereocaulon> tanath, ah I see. Gnome Classic is a cannabalized to a point that it scares you away back to Unity.
[20:09] <akira_> anyone know how to fix this error::: "there seems to be a programming error in aptdaemon, the software that allows you to install/remove software and to perform other package management related tasks?

[20:10] <schnuffle> rfm_: how big is your stick?
[20:10] <tanath> Stereocaulon, i could get used to unity if it weren't for certain issues. mainly driver issues right now
[20:10] <halcyonicstorm> Hi I need help installing ubuntu on my desktop
[20:10] <Stereocaulon> tanath, driver issues? How come?
[20:10] <tanath> Stereocaulon, unity and gnome shell are unusable for me
[20:10] <rfm_> schnuffle: 4 gigs
[20:10] <ryan_46> Thanks gunbert
[20:10] <atilis> a
[20:10] <Kingsy> bazhang: any advice?
[20:10] <tanath> Stereocaulon, graphical glitches or not loading at all
[20:10] <Stereocaulon> tanath, what GPU are you using?
[20:10] <halcyonicstorm> I used wubi to install ubuntu
[20:10] <rotflcopter> assumed how big to be cm-s
[20:10] <Kingsy> or anyone for that matter?
[20:10] <magik_> guntbert:  x-press@xpress:~$ find . ! -u x-press
[20:10] <magik_> guntbert: find: predicado «-u» no válido
[20:11] <tanath> Stereocaulon, ati on laptop
[20:11] <Andres__> schnuffle: so what command should I run>
[20:11] <Stereocaulon> tanath, ouch. ATI...Did you try to install the propriatary drivers?
[20:11] <guntbert> magik_: try      find . ! -u "x-press"
[20:11] <schnuffle> Andres__: the description is for a PC running already a Desktop as you don't have one you need to use a console editor like vi
[20:11] <IsmAvatar> I need help getting digital audio working after upgrading to Oneiric broke it.
[20:12] <Andres__> ohh
[20:12] <magik_> guntbert:  not working :/
[20:12] <Andres__> ok
[20:12] <Andres__> thanks
[20:12] <halcyonicstorm> ubuntu doesnt load on my desktop
[20:12] <wolter> endeavormac, for vim I like the dw_ series
[20:12] <tanath> Stereocaulon, taht's what i'm using. there's the proprietary one, and another version that says it has post-release updates. doesn't work
[20:12] <atilis> my ubuntu work with 120mb swap, only, is it wrong?
[20:12] <Stereocaulon> IsmAvatar, you are repeating your plea over and over, yet you do not specify it.
[20:13] <illmortal> so does anyone have a explanation or link as to what's going on with lightdm and gdm hanging ubuntu at startup?
[20:13] <guntbert> magik_: strange - lets try something completely different then: you said you lost the panel?
[20:13] <halcyonicstorm> there is just a cursor blinking but ubuntu doesnt load
[20:13] <endeavormac> wolter: Could you be a bit more specific? I'm looking for GTK3+ themes though (i believe, still working my head around unity themes)
[20:13] <xskydevilx> Whenever I try installing Google Chrome in Oneiric, it get an error: "Internal Error. *file* could not be opened"
[20:13] <Stereocaulon> tanath, not even in Unity 2D? That graphical shell should have no problems with graphical support  as it does not use propriatary extensions
[20:13] <wolter> endeavormac, oh I thought you were looking for an IDE theme
[20:13] <D3RGPS31> How would I enable autologin for GDM :l
[20:14] <wolter> endeavormac, I only know themes for Gnome Classic, so can't help I'm afraid :p
[20:14] <tanath> Stereocaulon, unity doesn't load. the only reason i can do things is 'cause i have gnome-do and guake
[20:14] <Stereocaulon> D3RGPS31, are you sure you are using GDM, not LDM?
[20:14] <qmanjr5> Does Natty use Compiz?
[20:14] <guntbert> does anyone see the error in the command    find . ! -u x-press       (to find files not owned by x-press)?
[20:14] <D3RGPS31> Stereocaulon: i removed lightdm and installed gdm, so yes i'm sure
[20:14] <magik_> guntbert: my desktop picture , and the function for exit windows ...
[20:14] <endeavormac> wolter: can i get back to gnome classic in oneiric? things get a bit screwy when i tried it. maybe there's an easier way
[20:14] <schnuffle> rfm_: If you fail to use a usb stick, how about installing it with PXE boot?
[20:14] <Jopie> trying to install 11.10 on amd64 with the minimal CD. It fails however with "Couldn't download package libselinux1" Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
[20:15] <guntbert> !panels | magik_ worth trying
[20:15] <wolter> endeavormac, I believe you can select your interface at the login screem
[20:15] <wolter> screen*
[20:15] <schnuffle> Jopie: missing network connection?
[20:15] <rfm_> schnuffle: I fail to see how that would be /less/ problematic
[20:15] <Jopie> schnuffle: Why does it get to 6 percent? seems to get all the other packages
[20:15] <jmichaelx> in kubuntu, i had cheese working fine in natty. after upgrading to oneiric, i noticed that images in cheese were less clear, and the colors were wrong. also, the cheese GUI would not adhere to my gtk theme settings. just now, i purged cheese, and reinstalled. no i am getting the message 'no device found'. ant suggestions?
[20:15] <Kingsy> how can I tweak gtk-window-decorator in xfce ?
[20:15] <tanath> Stereocaulon, i had it working at least partially at one point, but i forget which it was.
[20:15] <Stereocaulon> tanath, you might want to install lxde or xfce to get a light Gnome-like environment.
[20:15] <illmortal> anyone know how to fix the issue with ubuntu hanging @ startup? Or am I better off re-installing Ubuntu?
[20:15] <tanath> switched away though
[20:16] <endeavormac> wolter: yes, but now i can't move my taskbars aroudn
[20:16] <hse> hi everybody! I'm totally new to Ubuntu (11.10) and haven't got many experiences in Linux. Onereic is running on an Asus Eeepc here, and seems to work just fine. Problem: I want to install a Samsung printer driver. Got the tarball and extracted the files. I know that I'm supposed to start an "autorun" file. However, that requires root permissions, which I can't specify from the file folder. Windows has some option like "run as Administrat
[20:16] <magik_> guntbert: i dont have gnome-panel :/
[20:16] <schnuffle> rfm_: you don't need a usb stick and boot from the network card
[20:16] <hse> or", but that is absent in Ubuntu, isn't it? I also tried to sudo autorun, but that just asks for my password and then stops saying that autorun is an invalid command. So... any idea?
[20:16] <evilgeenius> I have just upgraded to the latest ubuntu and now my system won't boot unless I go into the recovery manager.  Is there a log file that records all the info I need to diagnose the problem or let others diagnose it?  Cheers
[20:16] <qmanjr5> In top, it says Compiz is using nearly 100% under the CPU column. Why is that?
[20:16] <tanath> Stereocaulon, enh, don't care for xfce. i'll stick with gnome classic 'til gnome shell works for now
[20:16] <Stereocaulon> tanath, you can add a parameter in Grub that switches off any graphical hardware accelaration
[20:16] <tanath> Stereocaulon, no way. then i prolly wouldn't be able to play minecraft
[20:16] <schnuffle> rfm_: you install a tftp/dhcp server on a windows machine and serve everything from there
[20:17] <Stereocaulon> tanath, no that's for sure ;-)
[20:17] <tanath> Stereocaulon, also, for some reason i can't get into grub on this laptop. don't get the chance
[20:17] <IsmAvatar> Stereocaulon: nobody's asked me to specify, and I don't really know what there is to specify. The sound stopped working.
[20:17] <magik_> guntbert: well ? :S
[20:17] <maedox> Is there a way to change/remove the icon background on the sidebar launcher thingy?
[20:17] <guntbert> magik_: then I give up, apparently I cannot help - sorry (my system is in classic mode :-))
[20:17] <tanath> Stereocaulon, boots up pretty quickly, but there's just no opportunity
[20:18] <magik_> guntbert: =(
[20:18] <tanath> Stereocaulon, and too many other things to fix before focusing on that
[20:18] <rfm_> schnuffle: Okay so now I gave up on using rescue mode and just trying to reinstall, and it doesn't even try to search for packages locally and instead jumps straight to installing from network
[20:18] <qmanjr5> In top, it says Compiz is using nearly 100% under the CPU column. Why is that?
[20:18] <halcyonicstorm> ubuntu wont load on my desktop
[20:18] <magik_> guntbert: ok i will reinstall linux ... and for the futuro you say to use sudo -i .. not sudo su ?
[20:18] <endeavormac> in maverick it was pretty easy to change up my ubuntu theme. is there something similar in oneiric?
[20:19] <tanath> qmanjr5, dunno, but you might like htop better. also, try reloading compiz? you can use fusion-icon or run 'compiz --replace'
[20:19] <magik_> guntbert: future*
[20:19] <brownie> hello
[20:19] <schnuffle> rfm_: if you used the netinst CD thats logic
[20:19] <evilgeenius> Hello All!  Can anyone help me diagnose my ubuntu problem? Ubuntu won't boot up now that it has been upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10.
[20:19] <Stereocaulon> IsmAvatar, the least you can do is tell us what you have already investigated. For instance, does your soundcard show up in lspci and if it does, does alsamixer start and can you control output volume with it. Do you get an error message when you tell Ubuntu to play a sound/ music?, That kind of things
[20:19] <guntbert> magik_: you rarely will need that command, usually a simple sudo <command> is enough
[20:19] <BlueProtoman> How can I have my new Android tablet show up (via USB to mini-USB connection) in UBuntu?
[20:20] <evilgeenius> The only way I can boot it is if I go into recovery mode.  Is there a log file I can look at?
[20:20] <IsmAvatar> Stereocaulon: ok, I'll take a look
[20:20] <rfm_> schnuffle: I used ubuntu-10.04.3-server-i386.iso
[20:20] <illmortal> anyone know how to fix the battery state issue? Where ubuntu hangs @ startup?
[20:20] <magik_> guntbert: and if i want to start nautilus ?
[20:20] <guntbert> magik_: but before reinstalling you could try to ask the channel once again, naybe someone else has a good answer
[20:20] <halcyonicstorm> i am using WUBI to install ubuntu 11.10 on my desktop and it is not loading after
[20:20] <guntbert> *maybe
[20:20] <schnuffle> rfm_: that will install a base system and everything on top is installed through the network
[20:20] <Stereocaulon> tanath, a command shell is enough to reconfigure grub2 to pause the startup screen for a while so you can take action
[20:20] <Jopie> What exactly is on the minimal cd? I don't get past 6% but it gets all kinds of packages. Are those actually coming from a mirror? Libselinux1 fails
[20:21] <magik_> guntbert: ok but if i want to use nautilus ?
[20:21] <tanath> Stereocaulon, hm?
[20:21] <schnuffle> rfm_: I don't see why it is a problem that it looks for repositories
[20:21] <IsmAvatar> Stereocaulon: It shows up in lspci. alsamixer starts, and shows 100 for everything except Headphone and Speaker which are 0 and can't change
[20:21] <evilgeenius> Sorry, its 11.10
[20:21] <qmanjr5> tanath, htop is confusing ._.
[20:21] <guntbert> magik_: for graphical apps always use gksudo/kdesu  (not sure if that exists in xubuntu) ,and you almost never need to run nautilus as root
[20:22] <schnuffle> rfm_: during the installation it's normal that it checks updates from the repos
[20:22] <Jopie> schnuffle: Tried several times now, always stops at libselinux1, but can't imagine that's the first package it downloads (minimal cd)
[20:22] <tanath> qmanjr5, if you can handle top you can handle htop. it's clearer than top to me...
[20:22] <magik_> does anybody knows why i losed my toolblars on linux and my desktop picture ? :S
[20:22] <qmanjr5> :P Also, I did compiz --replace
[20:22] <magik_> guntbert: ok thanks =)
[20:22] <BlueProtoman> How can I have my new Android tablet show up (via USB to mini-USB connection) in UBuntu?
[20:22] <qmanjr5> and now it's not giving me a prompt for commands
[20:22] <tanath> qmanjr5, it's just a little different. take a moment to get used to it?
[20:22] <IsmAvatar> Stereocaulon: no error when playing a sound with Banshee. It just plays but I can't hear anything
[20:22] <guntbert> magik_: Good luck :-)
[20:22] <evilgeenius> Does anyone know if there is a log file that ubuntu adds all boot up errors too?
[20:23] <qmanjr5> can I safely close the terminal window?
[20:23] <schnuffle> Jopie: you mean during the install?
[20:23] <Bragex9> what is the command to run "file explorer" in 11.10?
[20:23] <Stereocaulon> IsmAvatar, OK, that's a start. The Speaker channel is for lowfi speaker bleeps anyway, so that should not be a problem.
[20:23] <tanath> qmanjr5, kind of... if you ran it in terminal then you'll kill compiz when you close it.
[20:23] <schnuffle> evilgeenius: dmseg
[20:23] <Jopie> schnuffle: yes, install just quits after failing to downlaod libselinux1 during install from minimal cd
[20:23] <tanath> qmanjr5, run 'compiz --replace' in the alt+f2 dialog
[20:23] <guntbert> Bragex9: nautilus ?
[20:24] <robin0800> IsmAvatar, have you installed codecs
[20:24] <schnuffle> evilgeenius: sorry dmesg
[20:24] <evilgeenius> schnuffle: thanks!
[20:24] <Stereocaulon> IsmAvatar, can you restart pulseaudio?
[20:24] <IsmAvatar> robin0800: what codecs would I need to install?
[20:24] <magik_> guntbert: thanks =) and one more quest when i reinstall it how can i make the linux to mount the particiones with the start of it ? =)
[20:24] <schnuffle> Im off for a while, good luck all of you
[20:24] <IsmAvatar> Stereocaulon: ok. Just `service pulseaudio restart`?
[20:24] <paladinlaw> im getting black screen while booting and i cant access the recovery mode because im getting black screen there too. Im using livecd now. Can i uninstall nvidia current update from my harddrive because thats why im getting black screen?
[20:24] <evilgeenius> schnuffle: so all the error messages that appear when ubuntu boots up will be added to dmesg?
[20:25] <TehAndrewRyan> hey, my computer still shows 11.04 as the latest version when i'm checking the update manager, how comes?
[20:25] <Stereocaulon> IsmAvatar, no, Pulse should run in user space, try pulseaudio -k
[20:25] <magik_> guntbert: do you know ?
[20:25] <robin0800> IsmAvatar, depends what you are trying to play mp3 perhaps
[20:25] <Bragex9> guntbert: nautilus won't open... A message says " could not parse arguments: can not open screen"
[20:25] <guntbert> magik_: I don't understand your question - what do you want to do?
[20:26] <qmanjr5> tanath, I closed the terminal....
[20:26] <IsmAvatar> robin0800: Any audio. Haven't tried mp3, but flac and youtube videos.
[20:26] <qmanjr5> I could do nothing. XD
[20:26] <auronandace> !fstab | magik_
[20:26] <IsmAvatar> Stereocaulon: no output, so I guess it succeeded
[20:26] <Stereocaulon> robin0800, playing MP3 without a codec should produce an error message, it should not just stay silent
[20:26] <guntbert> Bragex9: do you have no Xwindow system?
[20:26] <tanath> qmanjr5, if you want to run a command in terminal in background, append a & to the end. then you get terminal control back
[20:26] <wolter> endeavormac, now that I remember, I think that if you install the gnome-panel you can use Gnome Classic
[20:26] <magik_> guntbert: sry for my english i ask i want when i start linux the particiones to mount automatic ^^
[20:26] <Stereocaulon> IsmAvatar, yes, that's how linux works. Try pulseaudio --check
[20:26] <zeep55> Where can I locate files downloaded from the Ubuntu Software Center?
[20:26] <naftilos76> hi i just installed gnome-shell in ubuntu 11.10 and when i double click on nautilus icon, nautilus runs but the icons on the desktop disappear. Has anyone experienced this?
[20:26] <magik_> auronandace: i know i dont know what i have to write :/
[20:27] <IsmAvatar> Stereocaulon: no output again
[20:27] <wolter> endeavormac, http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/10/gnome-shell-ubuntu-11-10-guide/
[20:27] <qmanjr5> tanath, Thank you very much. So it would've been compiz --replace&
[20:27] <tanath> qmanjr5, also, dunno if you got it, but i said to run 'compiz --replace' in the alt+f2 dialog so you don't get a terminal you can't close
[20:27] <guntbert> magik_: usually they do that anyway - else look at what ubottu told you above
[20:27] <Stereocaulon> IsmAvatar, ok, now proceed with pulseaudio -D
[20:27] <rfm_> how long should mke2fs take btw
[20:27] <endeavormac> thanks wolter
[20:27] <IsmAvatar> Stereocaulon: Daemon startup failed.
[20:27] <robin0800> IsmAvatar, install pauvcontrol and see what it says for engines etc
[20:28] <tanath> qmanjr5, also, install the fusion-icon app and it can reload or switch WM for you
[20:28] <s5fs> Just upgraded to 11.10. I have some symlinks in /usr/local/bin that used to work from the alt-f2 launcher, but now it seems this doesn't work. How do I alter the search path for the launcher?
[20:28] <magik_> ok
[20:28] <IsmAvatar> robin0800: unable to locate package pauvcontrol?
[20:28] <Bragex9> guntbert: I am not sure what you mean with xwindow system, My problem is that the desktop will not open after installing 11.10. I type my password, the screen goes black for a second and then I am back at the login box again
[20:28] <Stereocaulon> IsmAvatar, we're getting somewhere now, now we know that Pulseaudio is indeed not working properly.
[20:29] <wolter> endeavormac, no problem; once in gnome classic, the black dust theme is nice
[20:29] <naftilos76> it seems that for gnome 3 to function properly a clean install must take place otherwise i don't see much light...
[20:30] <guntbert> !nomodeset | Bragex9: I was asking about that
[20:30] <robin0800> IsmAvatar, install pauvcontrol sorry spelling
[20:30] <naftilos76> F3 on nautilus does not work. anyone experienced this?
[20:31] <IsmAvatar> robin0800: you just spelled it the same way again
[20:31] <paladinlaw> im getting black screen while booting and i cant access the recovery mode because im getting black screen there too. Im using livecd now. Can i uninstall nvidia current update from my harddrive because thats why im getting black screen?
[20:31] <robin0800> IsmAvatar, install pavucontrol sorry spelling
[20:31] <IsmAvatar> lol
[20:31] <illmortal> hmm... wonder if saving my Nvidia settings onto the xorg.conf might be the culprit to why my system hangs now
[20:31] <IsmAvatar> there we go
[20:31] <Stereocaulon> IsmAvatar, it's called pavucontrol, nat pauvcontrol
[20:32] <IsmAvatar> thanks, he spelled it right eventually ^_^
[20:32] <Stereocaulon> IsmAvatar, robin0800, indeed
[20:33] <daniel__> does anyone have any tips for hunting down processes that are taking up all my cpu and killing them? i tried system monitor (seems to be chrome that is slowing) but only a reboot seems to solve my issues
[20:33] <Stereocaulon> daniel__, try running top
[20:34] <IsmAvatar> robin0800 and Stereocaulon: pavucontrol shows a volume control that seems to show everything correct and at 100%. Digital is all set up. When I play something, the little equilizer bar at the bottom bounces around.
[20:34] <armence> Hello all. I am trying to configure xmonad+gnome2 on ubuntu 11.10 and I cannot get it to work. I get an error: "xmonad failed to load" (or something similar) whenever I try to login... Can I get some help with the configuration?
[20:34] <IsmAvatar> still not hearing anything though
[20:34] <daniel__> Stereocaulon: top?
[20:35] <Stereocaulon> daniel__, you can use the [i] key, to filter out inactive processes, so you can zero into the active processes, and kill them (if needed be) with k
[20:35] <Andres__> guys, how do I save changes in VIM?
[20:35] <naftilos76> Has anyone tried split-view in gnome shell? mine shuts down nautilus! Anyone?
[20:35] <vlt> Hello. What command can I use to shutdown the PC? I want to do the same as clicking on shutdown logged in as ordinary user. Any idea?
[20:35] <Stereocaulon> Andres__, ZZ
[20:35] <daniel__> ok thanks Stereocaulon
[20:35] <Andres__> q!?
[20:35] <Andres__> ohh
[20:35] <Andres__> alright
[20:35] <Andres__> thanks
[20:35] <Stereocaulon> Andres__, [Esc] ZZ
[20:35] <FloodBot1> Andres__: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:35] <s5fs> What is the search path for Alt+F2 and how can I change it?
[20:36] <Stereocaulon> s5fs, Your search path for Alt+F2 is defined by your global PATH variable
[20:36] <guntbert> vlt: sudo halt
[20:36] <johnjohn101> is there anyway to change the theme in unity?  or is background it?    on 11.10
[20:36] <IsmAvatar> robin0800: I do get 2 lines of output: ** (pavucontrol:6850): DEBUG: Error reading config file /home/ismavatar/.config/pavucontrol.ini: No such file or directory \n ** (pavucontrol:6850): DEBUG: Failed to initialize device manager extension: No such extension
[20:36] <vlt> guntbert: I want to do it as a user, not sudo.
[20:36] <IsmAvatar> but they look like they might be harmless
[20:37] <Andres__> wow.... again... "vncconfig: unable to open display "" "
[20:37] <Milena> hi all,can pulse audio equalizer be install in 11.10 ?
[20:37] <KSHawkEye> After updating my Ubuntu to 11.10 on virtualbox and now it will not boot past the Ubuntu boot loading screen. Any ideas?
[20:37] <Stereocaulon> johnjohn101, you can right click on your desktop, to set a new background
[20:37] <guntbert> vlt: no way, an ordinary user should not be able to do that
[20:37] <illmortal> yes milena..  why?
[20:37] <naftilos76> vlt: sudo halt
[20:37] <yeats> Andres__: alternately you can do ':w' to save ':wq' to save and quit
[20:37] <illmortal> That was one of the first apps I installed
[20:38] <vlt> guntbert: When I click on “shutdown” as oridnary user I’m allowed to do it.
[20:38] <Creap> Hi, I had 2 disks in Software RAID in a previous install (openSUSE), just installed Kubuntu 11.10 and not sure how to mount them
[20:38] <Stereocaulon> IsmAvatar, it sounds like pulse is connected to the wrong alsa sink.
[20:38] <Milena> illmortal:) i did this =http://www.unixmen.com/linux-tutorials/954-add-equalizer-for-pulse-audio-in-ubuntu-lucid-lynx
[20:38] <Creap> There's no option to mount in the partition manager
[20:38] <Creap> for those disks
[20:38] <Andres__> yeats: thanks
[20:38] <danopia> what happens between when i click suspends and when ubuntu actually suspends 30 seconds later? during those 30 seconds there's disk I/O but i can unlock the screen and keep using it until it finally suspends for real
[20:38] <Milena> illmortal:) but it wont display the gui
[20:39] <vlt> naftilos76: I want to do it as a user, not sudo. The same as clicking on “shutdown”, just on command line.
[20:39] <guntbert> vlt: true, but what is your issue with using sudo?
[20:39] <illmortal> milena... interesting. I installed both pulseaudio and alsamixer from the ubuntu store thingy
[20:39] <endeavormac> wolter: i'm fighting my way through this oneiric stuff. i have this weird ubuntu taskbar on one of my monitors (I don't know if you use dual monitors). if so, any idea how to remove it?
[20:40] <s5fs> Stereocaulon: I have symlinks to shorten app names (ie, gt = gnome-terminal) in /usr/local/bin (which is in my PATH) but I cannot launch them with Alt+F2. This did work in 11.04, any ideas?
[20:40] <vlt> guntbert: 1) A non-sudo user should be able to do it. 2) Without entering passwd.
[20:40] <IsmAvatar> Stereocaulon: ok, how can we hook it up to the right one? lol
[20:40] <jumpin-jack-flas> How does one use Gnome3 with the 11.10 amd64 desktop LiveCD?
[20:40] <Milena> illmortal:) i havnt install anything that has to do with alsa on my ubuntu yet,,,what did you install,,mabe thats the reason
[20:40] <guntbert> vlt: why?
[20:40] <vlt> guntbert: To just shutdown the system.
[20:41] <vlt> guntbert: More important than why is how?
[20:41] <Stereocaulon> s5fs, no, sorry about that, I am no expert on Oneiric. Only using it since yesterday.
[20:41] <guntbert> vlt: yes, but why without sudo?
[20:41] <Milena> does anyone has any idea hot to change the ubuntu 11.10 shortcuts bar on the left,,to the right ?
[20:41] <dajhorn> Creap: Install the mdadm package, which is required to mount a soft RAID device.  Ubuntu does not install it by default.
[20:41] <vlt> guntbert: 1) A non-sudo user should be able to do it. 2) Without entering passwd.
[20:42] <endeavormac> can someone tell me how i can get rid of this weird panel in gnome classic? http://imgur.com/7C58d
[20:42] <Creap> dajhorn: ok thanks I'll try that
[20:42] <vlt> I want the same thing that can easily be sone by clicking “shutdown”. That’ſ all.
[20:42] <ryano> is "shutdown" not a safe way to do it?
[20:42] <guntbert> vlt: thats no reason (in my eyes), where is the problem in entering your password?
[20:42] <Meshezabeel> endeavormac: I am confused as to what the red lines are pointing at
[20:43] <vlt> guntbert: 1) A non-sudo user should be able to do it.
[20:43] <jumpin-jack-flas> How does one use Gnome3 with the 11.10 amd64 desktop LiveCD?
[20:43] <Stereocaulon> IsmAvatar, just a sec, it's been a long time since I had to configure a low level setting like sinks
[20:43] <endeavormac> meshezabeel that whole top panel
[20:43] <guntbert> vlt: no
[20:43] <krashed> mmmm, does anyone have any idea on what could be causing THIS, a friend of mine ran into a snag on updating from 9.04 to 10.04 and her dropdowns arent working
[20:43] <krashed> http://dl.dropbox.com/u/45385983/IMAG0296.jpg
[20:43] <dibs> is there an upgrade channel?
[20:43] <IsmAvatar> Take your time ;-)
[20:43] <Meshezabeel> endeavormac: oh, it's not a weird pannel, it's supposed to be there
[20:44] <dajhorn> jumpin-jack-flas: Enable the universe section in the Software Manager, install the gnome-shell package, logout, choose GNOME at the session manager, and login again.
[20:44] <endeavormac> meshezabeel ok, but how do i get rid of it?
[20:44] <Meshezabeel> endeavormac: you can right-click on it, go to properties, and select auto-hide
[20:44] <dibs> if upgrading and servers are slow, is it safe to stop upgrade and try another day?
[20:44] <PunkUnity> i would like help please
[20:44] <PunkUnity> with getting my wireless mouse working
[20:44] <vlt> guntbert: Excuse me, which question was your “no” for?
[20:44] <jumpin-jack-flas> dajhorn: thanks
[20:44] <dajhorn> jumpin-jack-flas: Welcome.
[20:44] <PunkUnity> jumpin-jack-flas when you login click the little cog/gears symbol near your login area, select gnome
[20:44] <yeats> vlt: shutting down is traditionally (in Unix/Linux) something only root can do - by design.  You could probably set up a group that has that permission (if one doesn't already exist), but the short answer is 'is doesn't work that way'
[20:44] <endeavormac> meshezabeel i can't right click on it, and i don't want to hide it, i would like it gone
[20:45] <Stereocaulon> IsmAvatar, could you tell me how the screen alsamixergui looks to you (it's rather ugly, but bear with me ;-) )
[20:45] <guntbert> vlt: it was for your statement that a non-sudo user should be able to shut down the system
[20:45] <IsmAvatar> Stereocaulon: gotta install it first, moment
[20:45] <dajhorn> krashed: That looks like a known bug in the compiz package.  Do a search like "lucid compiz video corruption" at Launchpad
[20:45] <Meshezabeel> endeavormac: why can't you right click on it? when you right-click there's also an option that says "delete this panel"
[20:46] <Guest77046> How do i get help with ubuntu 11.10? i recently updated from ubuntu studio and the unity desktop is blank and leaves me practically helpless
[20:46] <domedagen> I get this error message when I try to install the Yet It Moves 64 demo. http://pastebin.com/iGFT4e96
[20:46] <guntbert> Guest77046: this is the right place
[20:46] <illmortal> i give up... ill just clean install ubuntu. If it hangs again.. good riddance 11.10, back to 11.04 i go.
[20:46] <TheCowboy> In a dual monitor setup, is there a way to force the windows that open or popup to display on the active monitor?
[20:46] <domedagen> Should I ignore and install?
[20:46] <vlt> yeats, guntbert Every user on my machine can (switch it on and) easily shut it down just by clicking with his mouse. So, not allowing it on command line isn’t a security thing then, righ?
[20:46] <vlt> *right?
[20:46] <yeats> dibs: it's not safe to stop the upgrade
[20:46] <domedagen> I'm using the GUI way btw
[20:46] <TheCowboy> Windows keep popping up on the opposite monitors.
[20:46] <Meshezabeel> endeavormac: if you want anything more advanced than that as in removing all panels, you can do a google search on the steps involved
[20:47] <dibs> yeats: thankyou, I wish I hadn't started now, 9 hours to go??
[20:47] <Stereocaulon> TheCowboy, depends on your screen setup. I can only assist you with nVidia cards
[20:47] <PCmechanic> i had issues upgrading ubuntu studio - ended up booting from the live cd, rescuing the home folder then just installed normal Ubuntu 11.10 - then tweaked it to suit
[20:47] <IsmAvatar> Stereocaulon: ok, I'm seeing "Card: PulseAudio | Chip: PulseAudio" at the top. Inside, I see a Master and a Capture, both have full bars initially.
[20:47] <TheCowboy> Stereocaulon, ah, thanks, but it's an ATI chipset in this laptop.
[20:47] <jumpin-jack-flas> dajhorn: I don't see a universe section ... No items in Universal Access match "gnome-shell"
[20:47] <dibs> TheCowboy: my nvidia dual pops them on the screen the mouse is on usually
[20:48] <yeats> dibs: hopefully it will clear up soon.  For future upgrades, consider choosing an alternate mirror
[20:48] <Stereocaulon> TheCowboy, good luck :-)
[20:48] <guntbert> vlt: no, a GUI user is likely to sit in front of the computer, a terminal user can be anywhere
[20:48] <TheCowboy> I think Ill need it
[20:48] <dajhorn> domedagen: You have a dud DEB file.  Only force installation if you trust where you got the package.
[20:48] <nazo_> So I have a 11.10 question:  how do I change my default soundcard?  (Specifically it looks like I need to change it for ALSA?)
[20:48] <Stereocaulon> IsmAvatar, this will sound strange. Please decrease both master bars to about halfway and try to play a sound again
[20:48] <Gargoylle> have a good night or day. I'm of. need sleep. work tomorrow.
[20:48] <dibs> yeats: True, I thought I would auto use the New Zeland mirror, perhaps even out here in new Zeland loads of people are updating? it is sunday mornign so could be I guess..
[20:49] <Andres__> another question... It says do you want to continue, for something, i input Y and it says abort
[20:49] <Gargoylle> backup backup backup.
[20:49] <Stereocaulon> Gargoylle, sweet dreams
[20:49] <dajhorn> jumpin-jack-flas: Universal Access is something different.  Run the Software Center, and look for "Software Sources" in the menus.  The option for "universe" is under the "Ubuntu Software" tab in the "Software Sources" dialog.
[20:49] <Meshezabeel> endeavormac: you could also remove it using gconf-editor
[20:49] <yeats> dibs: the weekend after a release will definitely be busier than most
[20:49] <lordhedgie> Got a question here...  Was upgrading from 11.04 to 11.10, and halfway through replacing packages it kernel panicked.  Going to reinstall from a CD; will my encrypted home directories be OK, or should I first manually back them up with a boot disk?
[20:49] <IsmAvatar> Stereocaulon: it decreased my general sound to half (in the applet indicator), but I still hear nothing.
[20:49] <Andres__> nvm
[20:49] <pondera> !nbe
[20:49] <Andres__> --assume yes does the job
[20:49] <Gargoylle> stereocaulon thanks. I'll have nightmares with unity. :P
[20:49] <bazhang> !une | pondera
[20:50] <domedagen> dajhorn: So I go tar.gz instead? I'm using the dev website so I can trust any file
[20:50] <lucasm> Hey, does anybody know if it's possible to make your own launchers in Unity?
[20:50] <Meshezabeel> lordhedgie: it's always best to do a file backup before any distro upgrade, so yes, do a backup :)
[20:50] <dajhorn> domedagen: Yes, it would be better to do a local install with the tarball.   Don't force a broken package.
[20:50] <vlt> guntbert: But even from terminal I could just run some xdo (or what it is called) commands to shut it down. So, why so complicated?
[20:50] <Stereocaulon> IsmAvatar, strange, well I guess it's time to compare our Alsa configs then...Could you please pastebin your alsa config file?
[20:50] <jumpin-jack-flas> dajhorn: software center has All Software and Installed ... neither has a source called "universe"
[20:50] <yeats> lucasm: search for "Main Menu" in the Unity search bar
[20:50] <IsmAvatar> Stereocaulon: location?
[20:51] <lordhedgie> Meshezabeel - Yes, I know I *should*, but I also know my data is still happily sitting there.  Wondering if its necessary or just a backup measure.
[20:51] <grafton24> Hi
[20:51] <lordhedgie> It's several hundred megabytes, and it was backed up about a month ago, so it's not a total loss in any case
[20:51] <tom_afterburn> hello could someone help me with google earth please
[20:51] <lucasm> yeats, thanks!
[20:51] <grafton24> Is this the place for a sort of newbie question whose answer I can't find anywhere?
[20:51] <jumpin-jack-flas> dajhorn: they both have "Provided by Ubuntu" "Canonical Partners" and "For Purchase"
[20:51] <dajhorn> jumpin-jack-flas: Click Edit -> Software Sources in that program.
[20:51] <pondera> Hey guys im trying to find a legit verson of the netbook ubuntu
[20:52] <tuxsudo> Hi, its my first time on the IRC so please be patient, I seem to be experiencing graphics problems every time after I play a movie in full screen with movie player, the gnome-panel freezes and soon all windows freeze forcing me to do a brute shutdown of the system, I am using an Internal Intel Graphics Chipset
[20:52] <dibs> yeats: What folders should I back up besides my home one? Just worried of a possible upgrade failure now..
[20:52] <PunkUnity> i would like some help
[20:52] <yeats> pondera: there's not a netbook version any more
[20:52] <PCmechanic> Naz0 - open terminal and type "sudo alsamixer"
[20:52] <AlienDogFear> pondera: Why?
[20:52] <I4got2tellU> hi all
[20:52] <lordhedgie> @pondera -- There is no longer a separate netbook Ubuntu.  Unless you want an older version, there's just one
[20:52] <PunkUnity> someone let me know when i can get soem of that expertise
[20:52] <KBentley57> hey guys, does anyone know how to change the desktop effects? I'd like to change the effects so that the 2d windows don't tear so much across the screen
[20:52] <vlt> guntbert: Found it: “xdotool” is its name.
[20:52] <Meshezabeel> lordhedgie: depends how much of a gambling person you are, in 99.9% of the cases you will be fine, but there are always glitches that can take place.
[20:52] <pondera> for my netbook
[20:52] <henchman24> maybe some special configs in /etc/ that you might want to save
[20:52] <nazo_> I've used the alsamixer already, but it doesn't actually change the default
[20:52] <jumpin-jack-flas> dajhorn: there doesn't seem to be any way to Edit
[20:52] <Stereocaulon> IsmAvatar, Oh my, Ubuntu 11.10 seems to have changed the path of the config files...
[20:52] <PCmechanic> ah right
[20:52] <Riberty> what is the glowing bar on the bottom of gnome3 when i hoover my mouse on the bottom right corner?
[20:52] <pondera> mabe ill do the light ubuntu
[20:53] <pondera> whats it call ubuntu lx or something ?
[20:53] <jumpin-jack-flas> And why does thst bar on the left keep hiding itself?
[20:53] <ryano> lubuntu
[20:53] <yeats> dibs: you should back up (regularly) anyway, especially before an upgrade - so yes - I would try to back up my files/settings if I were you
[20:53] <henchman24> like i have a very special  /etc/samba/smb.conf
[20:53] <lordhedgie> @Meshezabeel - I'm a gambler alright, but if a CD install won't recognize the old encrypted home then I'd go ahead and manually back it up with a boot disk.
[20:53] <AlienDogFear> Pondera: I'm installing 11.10 on my netbook now; the LTS and 11.04 ran just fine on it. I'm betting 11.10 will be okay, too.
[20:53] <bazhang> pondera, lubuntu
[20:53] <PunkUnity> <---being a noob right now and wants to que up foor some help
[20:53] <yeats> dibs: sounds like you've got plenty of time to do it ;-)
[20:53] <PunkUnity> *puts quartes on to pool table*
[20:53] <dajhorn> jumpin-jack-flas: I don't understand.  Did you get an error message?  On the default tab, it is the second checkbox from the top:  "Community-maintained Open Source software (universe)"
[20:53] <Andres__> is there any linux baised server that comes with a GUi>
[20:53] <KM0201> !lubuntu | pondera the best ubuntu derivative in a long time
[20:53] <tom_afterburn> PunkUnity, what is your question
[20:53] <dibs> yeats: true that brother, true that :)
[20:54] <PunkUnity> oh why ty
[20:54] <grafton24> Can I get in line behind PunkUnity?
[20:54] <PunkUnity> it is about getting my wireless mouse to work on 11.10
[20:54] <henchman24> or /etc/fstab for a guidling for next install
[20:54] <lordhedgie> @Andres - Ubuntu?
[20:54] <wolter> I am getting a persistent error while trying to create my installation usb, "Checksums do not match"
[20:54] <Stereocaulon> IsmAvatar, yet more troubleshooting, please tell me the output of /proc/asound/version and /proc/asound/cards
[20:54] <henchman24> guidline*
[20:54] <tom_afterburn> i haven't ever used a wireless mouse sorry
[20:54] <brian6705> I'm having some odd difficulty trying to upgrade to 11.10. I go into update manager and click on "Upgrade" on the top.  It runs through "Downloading the release upgrade tool" and then says "preparing to upgrade" it downloads a bunch and then just disappears.  It doesn't get to any other steps.  Guesses?
[20:54] <jumpin-jack-flas> dajhorn: sorry ... xterm was keeping the menu hidden
[20:54] <nazo_> I tried using asoundconf-gtk ("Default Sound Card" in the software center, but it relies on asoundconf, which no longer exists.  I searched around and on ALSA's site there is a FAQ that explains how to configure the default using /etc/asound.conf  and/or ~/.asoundrc, but these files not only don't already exist, but after I manually create them to say what the FAQ describes, nothing happens even after rebooting.
[20:55] <jumpin-jack-flas> dajhorn: this Unity desktop is horrible
[20:55] <lordhedgie> @tom_afterburn -- Should work same as any other mouse.  What's happening?
[20:55] <dajhorn> jumpin-jack-flas:  Try Xubuntu.
[20:55] <IsmAvatar> Stereocaulon: pastebinning, moment
[20:55] <PunkUnity> i have a laptop
[20:55] <PunkUnity> and need help making this mouse work
[20:55] <jumpin-jack-flas> dajhorn: I only d/led and burned one CD and am not going back to the office until Monday
[20:55] <yeats> brian6705: have you backed up your files/settings?
[20:55] <PunkUnity> ive plugged in the usb reciiever, and even hit the connect button
[20:55] <Meshezabeel> lordhedgie: you need to use the same username and password, and I know on older install cds there was an option that said "automatically decrypt" on that screen as well.
[20:55] <brian6705> No, I don't think I've ever done a real backup
[20:56] <Stereocaulon> IsmAvatar, if you are pastebinning, please also add the outpu of /proc/asound/devices
[20:56] <nazo_> I'm getting the impression that ALSA maybe has changed to not use those files anymore?
[20:56] <dajhorn> jumpin-jack-flas: You need an Internet connection to install GNOME 3.  If you downloaded the ISO with Unity, then you're stuck.
[20:56] <tom_afterburn> PunkUnty: have you tried mouse on another computer
[20:56] <g[r]eek> Hi. I'm watching a 6.6gb mkv HD movie with the default Ubuntu movie player, and after about 10 minutes it starts to stutter and goes out of sync. What are my options? It's a ThinkPad R61i with 2gb ram
[20:56] <m3asmi> how can I enable compiz effect
[20:56] <yeats> brian6705: time to do it ;-) - then try running 'update-manager' from the terminal to see if there are any error messages
[20:56] <lordhedgie> @PunkUnity - I've never had a wireless mouse not automatically work, and they're all I use on laptops.  What mouse is it?
[20:56] <IsmAvatar> Stereocaulon: http://pastebin.com/SJ8qQ46L
[20:56] <PunkUnity> ya i cant get it to work on my gf's new windows 7 machine either,but windows and me are like nah
[20:56] <IsmAvatar> shoulda made that ls -F
[20:56] <brian6705> yeats, ok.  I'll give that a try
[20:57] <PunkUnity> it used ot always work on my deskto
[20:57] <lordhedgie> Bad mouse?
[20:57] <lordhedgie> Take away its cheese.
[20:57] <PunkUnity> Logitech Laser
[20:57] <robin0800> nazo_, in usr/share/applications is a multimedia systems selector might help
[20:57] <Stereocaulon> It seems you have 2 soundcards, that will complicate matters a bit.
[20:57] <PunkUnity> must be bad notw i guess... it turns on and everthhing
[20:57] <nazo_> By any chance do you know the name of it?
[20:57] <PunkUnity> maybe the batt is low
[20:57] <D_Russ> anyone know of a way to have larger thumbnails in the file explorer. when adding a desktop wallpaper not particularly convenient to click through all the picture to find one i like.
[20:57] <dajhorn> g[r]eek: A quick and easy fix would be to try a different media player.  Visit http://www.medibuntu.org
[20:57] <whitemagic> can anyone recommend a theme manager for ubuntu 11.10 x64?
[20:58] <g[r]eek> dajhorn, I tried vlc and that's out of sync to begin with and after a while it too stutters
[20:58] <whitemagic> i see several in the software center..
[20:58] <Koshka> What's the command run to Additional Drivers?
[20:58] <brian6705> yeats, also, I just rememebred.  When i initially go into update manager it pops up a message saying "Not all updates can be installed" "Run a partial upgrade, to install as many updates as possible"
[20:58] <PunkUnity> theme manager.... hmm... i like this faenza one
[20:58] <yeats> Koshka: 'jockey-gtk' probably
[20:58] <Stereocaulon> IsmAvatar, do you have any idea what Ubuntu might detect as a USB sound device?
[20:58] <tom_afterburn> PunkUnity: if it won't work on 2 different pcs your mouse is probably broken
[20:58] <whitemagic> i thought faenza was like a 'super theme' (which other themes were derived from)
[20:58] <dajhorn> g[r]eek: Do you have another mkv file that you can try?  There is a chance that your video file is a dud.
[20:58] <whitemagic> i'll def. try it out tho
[20:58] <g[r]eek> dajhorn, everything runs smoothly initially but then it's as if my laptop runs out of memory or something. Perhaps there is a really powerful buffer-ahead movie player?
[20:58] <jumpin-jack-flas> dajhorn: I have an internet connection ... I'm not on IRC with my antenna on my head. ;)
[20:58] <PunkUnity> im officially sad
[20:58] <PunkUnity> ty tom-afterburn
[20:58] <g[r]eek> dajhorn, nah the file is fine. All my 6gb hd mkv's do this, and they work fine on my work pc
[20:59] <deerdancer> is there an official gnome shell channel?
[20:59] <jumpin-jack-flas> dajhorn: But I didn't bring any CDs home and am on wireless.
[20:59] <tuxsudo> any help, Ubuntu 10.11 freezes after playing a movie in full screen using movie player, i'm using an Intel Graphics Card
[20:59] <Raven187> question: what is wrong with banshee? take long time to queue from a server, and locks up after playing a few songs from queue. never used to do this .
[20:59] <yeats> brian6705: not sure why that would be - could be because the upgrade was interrupted
[20:59] <bock> Do I still need the alternate installation CD to encrypt my HDD?
[20:59] <dajhorn> jumpin-jack-flas: Heh.  You'd be surprised at what some people do an assume.  ;)
[20:59] <whitemagic> god, i cannot believe how pretty ubuntu has become
[20:59] <brian6705> yeats, hmm ok.  I'll run in the terminal and see how that goes.  Thanks!
[20:59] <whitemagic> 11.10 is much better looking than 11.4, which, itself, was a massive improvement
[20:59] <yeats> brian6705: good luck ;-)
[20:59] <m3asmi> how can I enable compiz effect in ubuntu 11.10
[20:59] <whitemagic> i used to be a unity hater.. i'm slowly becoming a convert
[21:00] <IsmAvatar> Stereocaulon: I'm not sure what you mean by your question. When I first plugged my speakers in, the Ubuntu Sound Settings (from the applet) showed it as an option, but defaulted to Analog, but once I switched it to Digital, it played - until I upgraded to oneiric.
[21:00] <whitemagic> m3asmi, it's within the system settings.. lemme look it up for u
[21:00] <bazhang> !ot | whitemagic
[21:00] <Stereocaulon> whitemagic, yes it *is* pretty, but I am a bit worried about usability and configurability
[21:00] <whitemagic> sorry bazhang, thanks for letting me know
[21:00] <ajf> bash says it can't find a file yet it's clearly in the directory
[21:00] <Vampire> I found my grep versions differ that may be half of the issue
[21:00] <ajf> ./kaillerasrv
[21:00] <Koshka> On 11.10, is "post-release updates" newer/stabler on ATI/AMD proprietary drivers or vice-versa?
[21:00] <ajf> "-bash: ./kaillerasrv: No such file or directory"
[21:00] <ajf> help!
[21:00] <dajhorn> g[r]eek: If mplayer and/or VLC and/or Totem are all busted, then check /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /var/log/syslog for error messages.
[21:00] <jumpin-jack-flas> dajhorn: After 9 years in Linux nothing surprises me.
[21:00] <jax> m3asmi: just install compiz settings manager from software centre
[21:00] <nazo_> Really, if I have a "multimedia systems selector" app, I haven't a clue where it is.  Just to be clear though, I'd really rather continue using an actual server like PulseAudio if possible, I just want everything to use the correct soundcard.  Unfortunately, atm all I can do is force things to use ALSA and specify which soundcard where this is possible.
[21:00] <Raven187> question: what is wrong with banshee? take long time to queue from a server, and locks up after playing a few songs from queue. never used to do this .
[21:01] <g[r]eek> dajhorn, ok thanks
[21:01] <m3asmi> jax: I installed it but the effect doesn't work
[21:01] <yeats> ajf:  can you pastebin the output of 'ls' from the directory you're currently in?
[21:01] <Vampire> ji
[21:01] <ryano> -
[21:01] <xgt001> fglrx-updates package contains catalyst 11.8 or 11.9?
[21:02] <jax> m3asmi: what gfx card u got?
[21:02] <dajhorn> g[r]eek: Welcome.  (Good luck, you've got a frustrating kind of problem.)
[21:02] <m3asmi> jax: intel
[21:02] <Vampire> I found my grep versions differ that may be half of the issue
[21:02] <domedagen> dajhorn: So how would I install the 64bit tar.gz seen here http://www.andyetitmoves.net/index.php?content=demo ? Usually there is some kind of executable when I've extracted
[21:02] <yeats> !who | Vampire
[21:02] <Stereocaulon> IsmAvatar, well /proc/asound/cards shows up two devices, one of them being designated USB audio, the other one NVidia/ HDA-Intel. I happen to have a HDA-Intel chipset myself
[21:02] <frxstrem> is it possible to find the location of an ext4 filesystem on a hard drive when it is not located on a proper partition, and recover it?
[21:02] <lamccat> hi, can anyone tell me how to change my theme in ubunta blackbox
[21:02] <ajf> yeats: yes
[21:02] <ai9371> yay new ubuntu
[21:03] <jumpin-jack-flas> dajhorn: W:Failed to fetch cdrom://Ubuntu 11.10 _Oneiric Ocelot_ - Release amd64 (20111012)/dists/oneiric/Release  Unable to find expected entry 'restricted/binary-i386/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)
[21:03] <jumpin-jack-flas> , E:Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
[21:03] <nazo_> It seems to me like a problem has rather fallen between the cracks here.  asoundconf is gone and if ALSA has even changed how it actually configures such things (since neither asound.conf nor .asoundrc seem to do anything at all) without even updating their Wiki page, no one has any way to change their default soundcard...
[21:03] <jumpin-jack-flas> dajhorn: any suggestion?

[21:03] <whitemagic> m3asmi: i cannot find the 11.04 settings in 11.10 for  compiz..
[21:03] <xgt001> fglrx-updates package contains catalyst 11.8 or 11.9?
[21:03] <span89> Hello all.
[21:03] <jumpin-jack-flas> dajhorn: I gave it the universe setting ... I'll fool around with it some more ... maybe remove all other sources.
[21:03] <D_Russ> is there any nautilis plugins that allow me to resize image thumbnails when accessing them from any application such ad gimp, or inkscape?
[21:03] <whitemagic> m3asmi: you would have to look up which package to install to access those settings in an easy way

[21:04] <yeats> ajf: can you pastebin the output of 'ls -l'? (use http://paste.ubuntu.com/)
[21:04] <Vampire> !tab)
[21:04] <ajf> yeats: OK
[21:04] <span89> I just installed Ubuntu 11.04 and my wireless card is not working. It's a Broadcom BCM 5751 on a Dell Latitude D610.
[21:04] <Stereocaulon> IsmAvatar, follow the conversation with nazo__, he/ she is definitely talking about something that might help you as well
[21:04] <lImIton> I've just instaled 11.10 and I get no devices to calibrate/profile in gnome "Color" but in the live cd i could't see my Dell monitor. Is there a reason? maybe Nvidia drivers?
[21:04] <jumpin-jack-flas> dajhorn: funny ... without any luser intervention it seems to have started the proper d/l now
[21:04] <kevin_> helo
[21:04] <jumpin-jack-flas> dajhorn: figured the other ones needed disabling
[21:04] <kevin_> 11.10 xubuntu here
[21:04] <nazo_> Stereocaulon, changing default soundcards?  Unfortunately, if there's a way I'm not finding it.
[21:04] <sorseg> Hello! After updating to 11.10 unity shows question mark instead of eclipse icon. Where should I place eclipse Icon for unity to see it?
[21:04] <Mike9863> With GNOME Shell, how can I disable the setting where the edges of windows stick to each other a bit when I move them?
[21:04] <jumpin-jack-flas> dajhorn: how stable is Gnome3 on 11.10?
[21:04] <jake_> hey, i just installed 11.10 on my new comp and i have it plugged into a tv. the current size of the screen doesn't fit the tv, and none of the resolutions i pick in display preferences do either. how can i fi x this?
[21:04] <ajf> yeats: http://paste.ubuntu.com/708930/
[21:04] <Vampire> I found my grep versions differ that may be half of the issue
[21:05] <span89> make that 11.10-
[21:05] <jumpin-jack-flas> dajhorn: it's not all working in Gentoo ... and I want a DE that I can install on custom built boxen I sell customers
[21:05] <m3asmi> whitemagic: in the older version I was being clicking with the right click in the desktop and enable the full effect
[21:05] <whitemagic> jumpin-jack-flas: i can't say for sure.. but i'd highly recommend avoiding gnome3 at least until it leaves beta. it's got a lot of problems, from what i hear
[21:05] <deerdancer> is there a way to run gnome2's gnome-panel applets on gnome-shell?
[21:05] <lamccat> hi, can anyone tell me how to change my theme in ubunta blackbox
[21:05] <span89> HELP PLEASE-- I just installed Ubuntu 11.10 and my wireless card is not working. It's a Broadcom BCM 5751 on a Dell Latitude D610.
[21:05] <xgt001> whitemagic, gnome 3 isnt beta anymore
[21:05] <jumpin-jack-flas> whitemagic: do you mean Ubuntu beta or upstream?
[21:05] <robin0800> nazo_, multimedia systems selector can be found in usr/share/applications and you can set a pulse audio server there
[21:06] <lamccat> hi, can anyone tell me how to change my theme in ubunta blackbox
[21:06] <dajhorn> jumpin-jack-flas: It is in universe, so you cannot depend on updates.   You have a difficult choice.  2011 seems to be the year where all of the Linux desktop developers went nutters.
[21:06] <Creap> dajhorn: I have installed the mdadm package, is it some kind of driver that partition manager can use or should I use the cli?
[21:06] <kevin_> hello
[21:06] <whitemagic> xgt011: my bad. Still, i've heard that it's pretty but something to avoid
[21:06] <nazo_> robin0800, truth be told, I haven't a clue what you're talking about  then.  I don't see such a "applications" directory under /usr/share at all, nor can I find any application named that.
[21:06] <jumpin-jack-flas> dajhorn: that is quite true
[21:06] <whitemagic> m3asmi: you will need to install gconf-editor. have a look at this page with instructions: http://mygeekopinions.blogspot.com/2011/09/how-to-edit-compiz-settings-in-ubuntu.html
[21:06] <jumpin-jack-flas> dajhorn: the closer we try to stay to Windows and Mac eye candy the more unstable we become
[21:07] <span89> HELP PLEASE-- I just installed Ubuntu 11.10 and my wireless card is not working. It's a Broadcom BCM 5751 on a Dell Latitude D610.
[21:07] <phartz> span99: I had a similar problem with my broadcom B43. I installed firmware-b43-lpphy-installer. that fixed it.
[21:07] <domedagen> dajhorn: !
[21:07] <whitemagic> jump-jack-flas: i really don't know. Go for it if you're feeling adventurous..
[21:07] <trb_> This is a simple question... I'm sorry but I asked this question before and got the answer but I forgot to save it the answer,  how do you copy a file (named "98-buspirate.rules" located in my home directory /home/trb ) to the directory /etc/udev/rules.d) I cant copy it by simple cutting and pasting because it denys permission, what is the proper sudo command,  THanks in advance for your help.
[21:07] <sythe> http://xkcd.com/178/
[21:07] <nazo_> also, can it actually configure the default soundcard?  I don't really want to switch which system is being used.
[21:07] <jumpin-jack-flas> span89: post lspci -nn output for it
[21:07] <Stereocaulon> IsmAvatar, I have looked at your /proc/asound/devices and I have found the problem: 2: [ 1- 0]: digital audio playback. As I had thought, Ubuntu tries using your USB channel to output audio. Now for a way to change that rather silly behaviour...
[21:07] <dajhorn> sythe:  +1
[21:07] <nazo_> Lol, irony of ironies Stereocaulon.  I want to use a USB device and it's defaulting to the onboard.
[21:08] <yeats> ajf: you've verified that you didn't type the command wrong?  I don't see why that wouldn't work
[21:08] <tcnk> hi all! can help? why after upgrade to 11.10 appear message like this: "ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored"
[21:08] <dajhorn> Creap: You may need to do an `mdadm --assembe` to get the initial import at the CLI.   After that, there is a way to get automatic imports.  Check /etc/default/mdadm*
[21:08] <robin0800> nazo_, its not usr share its usr share applications
[21:08] <Bragex9> How can I check if I have the latest nvidia drivers installed?
[21:08] <Stereocaulon> nazo__, that's ironic indeed.
[21:08] <ai9371> span89* was it working before you upgraded?
[21:08] <yeats> span89: try 'sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source' then reboot
[21:08] <nazo_> robin0800, I still haven't the slightest clue what you're talking about.  No such directory exists.
[21:08] <ajf> yeats: yeah, I'm really confused: http://paste.ubuntu.com/708933/
[21:08] <span89> Was working on Windows XP, never tried Ubuntu on this.
[21:09] <IsmAvatar> Stereocaulon: well, they are USB speakers, but I'll assume you know what you're doing :-)
[21:09] <CasW> I bought a touchscreen today, and connected the touch part via the serial port, but when I do sudo lshw, I see *-serial UNCLAIMED; is my touchscreen broken or do I have to do something to make it work?
[21:09] <span89> According to this thread, there's a solution- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=984675. However, I'm dealing with the same issue as him "It didn't work. Seem to me that it didn't found the file dhclient.conf
[21:09] <span89> "
[21:09] <i4everyone> hey. anyone know what happens when you put a microsim from a different carrier into a LOCKED iPhone? do you get some sort of message that tells you it's not a valid sim?
[21:10] <Dusti> I just installed Ubuntu, but I think I'm missing the extra drivers I need for my wireless to work. How do I get them?
[21:10] <bazhang> i4everyone, try an iphone channel
[21:10] <nazo_> hmm, or it seemed not to.  Ok, there is a /usr/share/applications, but I don't see a "multimedia systems selector" or anything obviously similar
[21:10] <brian6705> yeats, I just tried in the command line.  All it shows is: extracting 'oneiric.tar.gz' authenticate 'oneiric.tar.gz' against 'oneiric.tar.gz.gpg'   ---- Then it closes with no other output
[21:10] <meerkats> im going to upgrade to 11.10 via an USB stick with FAT·" formatting, should I expect problems?
[21:10] <Stereocaulon> IsmAvatar, hang on? they are USB speakers? That does make sense then. Is there any way to switch Analog/ Digital with a switch on the speakers (*without damagin the device*)?
[21:10] <sythe> Dusti: Easy...plug it into ethernet
[21:11] <robin0800> nazo_, its where the icons are pulled from for the dash but not all are pulled so can only be found there
[21:11] <meerkats> crap, FAT32*
[21:11] <trb_> This is a simple question...

[21:11] <_kevinftw__> list
[21:11] <Mike9863> With GNOME Shell, how can I disable the setting where the edges of windows stick to each other a bit when I move them?
[21:11] <sythe> Dusti: And... "sudo apt-get update"
[21:11] <Dusti> sythe: I have wireless
[21:11] <nazo_> I'm running Xubuntu, this may be something Gnome.  However, can this program change the default soundcard in the first place?  I don't want to switch the default sound SYSTEM.
[21:11] <Dusti> oh
[21:11] <sythe> Dusti: Yes...you do
[21:11] <meerkats> trb_, what about nautilus?
[21:11] <nazo_> as far as I know, it is actually set to default to PulseAudio all around already.
[21:11] <yeats> ajf: see this: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/bash-no-such-file-or-directory-when-file-actually-exists-860893/
[21:12] <robin0800> nazo_, yes and so can alsamixer
[21:12] <IsmAvatar> Stereocaulon: not on the speakers themselves. They just have 2 volume buttons and a mute button, and Ubuntu sound applet responds to them beautifully.
[21:12] <span89> sythe: I will see if that works for me.
[21:12] <yeats> brian6705: hmmm - I might try downloading an ISO (from an alternative server near you) and doing a fresh install
[21:12] <trb_> What is nautalus? dont know
[21:12] <nazo_> well, how do you do it with alsamixer then?  I could switch to control the volume on different devices, but I couldn't find anything to change default devices.
[21:12] <bazhang> trb_, the file browser
[21:13] <trb_> This is a simple question... I'm sorry but I asked this question before and got the answer but I forgot to save it the answer, how do you copy a file (named "98-buspirate.rules" located in my home directory /home/trb ) to the directory /etc/udev/rules.d) I cant copy it by simple cutting and pasting because it denys permission, what is the proper sudo command,  THanks in advance for your help.

[21:13] <trb_> The contents of the file is... SUBSYSTEM=="tty", ATTRS{serial}=="A5005D8K", GROUP="users", MODE="0660", SYMLINK+="buspirate"  where "A5005D8K" is the serial number of the usb interface chip, I'm not sure what it does can some one please explain wht purpose this rule serves?  T
[21:13] <brian6705> yeats, blah...  I was hoping it wouldn't come to that.  Is there a way to purge the already downloaded portions of the upgrade so that it can download them fresh?
[21:13] <jumpin-jack-flas> dajhorn: is rxvt-unicode not available, or is this another PICNIC
[21:13] <IsmAvatar> Stereocaulon: sorry to confuse you. I didn't realize you could have non-usb Digital speakers.
[21:13] <yeats> trb_: 'sudo cp /path/to/file /path/to/destination'
[21:13] <BobSapp> I have a question about oneric
[21:14] <trb_> thanks yeats
[21:14] <robin0800> nazo_, f6 select sound card
[21:14] <BobSapp> is it ok to ask here?
[21:14] <lImIton> I've just instaled 11.10 and I get no devices to calibrate/profile in gnome "Color" but in the live cd i could't see my Dell monitor. Is there a reason? maybe Nvidia drivers?
[21:14] <Stereocaulon> IsmAvatar, hmm whitemagic was so friendly to show me where the general system settings are to be found. There is a sound settings icon there. If you click it, you will be able to select the device you want to configure under the "hardware" tab
[21:14] <nazo_> that just seems to select which soundcard you're changing the volume settings for
[21:14] <trb_> that is what I was looking for simple eh!
[21:14] <Dmole> anyone know of a cryptsetup tutorial for Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS?
[21:14] <dajhorn> jumpin-jack-flas: `apt-cache policy rxvt-unicode` says that it is in universe too.
[21:14] <yeats> brian6705: nope - it's past the point of no return, I would guess.  Make sure you back up before proceeding ;-)
[21:15] <trb_> The contents of the file is... SUBSYSTEM=="tty", ATTRS{serial}=="A5005D8K", GROUP="users", MODE="0660", SYMLINK+="buspirate"  where "A5005D8K" is the serial number of the usb interface chip, I'm not sure what it does can some one please explain wht purpose this rule serves?  Tom
[21:15] <yeats> brian6705: ask away
[21:15] <nazo_> Hmm...  Or maybe the culprit is PulseAudio after all.
[21:15] <yeats> brian6705: sorry meant for someone else ;-)
[21:15] <brian6705> yeats, Yeah, I'll have to.  especially if I do a fresh install
[21:15] <yeats> BobSapp: ask away
[21:15] <nazo_> I'm sorry, I take back what I said.  If I select "Alsa Default Device" it does play through the correct DAC.  This means PulseAudio is just using the wrong one.
[21:16] <jake_> hey, i just installed 11.10 on my new comp and i have it plugged into a tv. the current size of the screen doesn't fit the tv, and none of the resolutions i pick in display preferences do either. how can i fi x this?
[21:16] <IsmAvatar> Stereocaulon: yes, I've been there. You can also access it by clicking on the Sound Applet icon, and clicking Sound Settings...
[21:16] <BobSapp> So I upgraded to 11.10 with unity (which i like) but it doesnt seem to have the full graphical effects. And when i run gnome-terminal and switch to another program gnome-terminal remains visible but i cant click the gnome-terminal stuff
[21:16] <trb_> I believe it has something to do with simplifying the identification when you plug in the usb device not sure?
[21:16] <BobSapp> it seems like gnome-terminal is still rendering even though all the input etc is going to the underlying window
[21:16] <Stereocaulon> IsmAvatar, do you see two devices there as well, or only one?
[21:17] <jumpin-jack-flas> dajhorn: not here ... I gotta get outta this Unity mess and into some other DE/WM ... bbiam
[21:17] <trb_> The contents of the file is... SUBSYSTEM=="tty", ATTRS{serial}=="A5005D8K", GROUP="users", MODE="0660", SYMLINK+="buspirate"  where "A5005D8K" is the serial number of the usb interface chip, I'm not sure what it does can some one please explain wht purpose this rule serves?  Tom
[21:17] <trb_>  I believe it has something to do with simplifying the identification when you plug in the usb device not sure
[21:17] <IsmAvatar> Stereocaulon: I see 2. USB AUDIO and Internal Audio, both have 1 Output, and they both have configurable profiles, both are currently set to Digital Stereo (IEC958) Output.
[21:17] <scman> Anyone know of a good desktop search program that will search inside pdf, word documents, and LibreOffice documents
[21:18] <IsmAvatar> grep, lol
[21:18] <PrivateReese> hello evryone
[21:18] <m3asmi> whitemagic: no changes :(
[21:18] <Stereocaulon> IsmAvatar, that same options panel has a rather convenient choice dropdown along with a speaker test button. Try fiddling around with that if you have not already done so
[21:19] <virusz> usb dongle not working...lsusb 1076:7f00..then i found this 1076:7f40 in usb modeswtich data...the same vendor id different product number..can i just modify the default product id
[21:19] <m3asmi> the compiz effect doesn"t work too :'(  && the Alt+Tab too :(
[21:19] <BobSapp> m3asmi: I get the same does anyone know where the settings for graphical options are?
[21:20] <IsmAvatar> Stereocaulon: yes, that's the Profile. Already tried fiddling with it. This whole window hasn't changed between 11.04 and 11.10 - everything is right where I intentionally put it to get it working the first time.
[21:20] <BobSapp> there used to be simple, nice best
[21:20] <PrivateReese> I have a question concerning Ubuntu "Download" i want to support Ubuntu by giving my Webserverspace vor Ubuntu Distributions so evryone can download it, do i have to be careful about something
[21:20] <PrivateReese> ?
[21:20] <IsmAvatar> Stereocaulon: to clarify, after fiddling with it a bit, I haven't been able to get output, but before fiddling with it, it was on the settings that worked for 11.04.
[21:20] <m3asmi> BobSapp: I don"t know :(
[21:20] <deerdancer> m3asmi: try out the gnome-shell! just apt-get install and it really works beautiful! much much more matured!
[21:20] <nazo_> Bah, I google and keep just finding "padevchooser" which seems to not exist anymore.
[21:21] <BobSapp> I find gnome-shell to be abit more cpu intensive
[21:21] <BobSapp> but i did like it
[21:21] <pfadi> hallo
[21:21] <m3asmi> deerdancer: how  to tru out the gnome-shell !!!
[21:21] <Shirakawasuna> chrome seems a little slower after upgrading to oneiric (don't know if it's because of chrome 12 -> 14 or other upgrades). Anyone else notice something similar? The only things that is noticeably slower is changing tabs - opening, changing focus, and closing.
[21:21] <cheako_> Hello, the contacts list in Empathy is not persistent.
[21:21] <yeats> !gnome3 | m3asmi
[21:22] <Creap> dajhorn: thanks, I believe I solved it now using only cli, doesn't show up in partitionmanager still. at least I can mount the md, but mdadm said it is "made up out of 1 of 2 disks"..
[21:22] <deerdancer> m3asmi: just run "apt-get install gnome-shell" without quotes
[21:22] <Creap> mdadm: /dev/md0 has been started with 1 drive (out of 2).
[21:22] <m3asmi> yeats : I'm now in ubuntu 11.10
[21:22] <crash1hd> If you where going to setup a dedicated machine (older machine) as a kids machine would you A: install ubuntu, install virtualbox and then install qimo or edbuntu and make backups so that they can be restored at a moments notice or B: install ubuntu and qimo side by side and create partition backups that can also be restored at a moments notice?
[21:23] <m3asmi> deerdancer:ok I'm going too ;)
[21:23] <yeats> m3asmi: just follow deerdancer's instruction
[21:23] <D_Russ> is it possible to change the thumbnail size of images that i wish to open from within apps like gimp or inkscape?
[21:23] <BouerBouer> hey guys, quick question, I'm trying to customize my desktop and need a feel bits of advice. 1) what is better in terms of minimalistic eye candy, Unity or GNOME 3, and 2) what is the best linux substitute for Rainmeter?
[21:23] <tir> join  #crack-attack
[21:23] <tir> what abaout 11.10??
[21:23] <cheako_> D_Russ: Nautilus has a zoom option.
[21:23] <yeats> !best | BouerBouer
[21:23] <robin0800> nazo_, gnome-media 2.91.2-2ubuntu2
[21:24] <nazo_> I'd rather avoid gnome stuff if I at all can
[21:24] <dajhorn> Creap: Welcome  That message means that the array is degraded.
[21:24] <Stereocaulon> IsmAvatar, if you have any headphones, please try if they have proper sound output or not.
[21:24] <D_Russ> cheako, that seems to only work when i access a file from outside an application
[21:24] <sneezewort> Hello all. I just upgraded to canonical and everything is working except task switching. When I hit alt+tab the only thing that happens is the top menu is shown when I hit alt, but no task switching. Any ideas?
[21:24]  * nazo_ is running Xubuntu
[21:24] <bazhang> sneezewort, canonical?
[21:24] <Shirakawasuna> sneezewort: do you mean oneiric?
[21:25] <m3asmi> yeats: I'm runing the instalation
[21:25] <BouerBouer> ubottu: In that case, what system monitoring tool offers the best feature set while maintaining a pleasing asthetic look?
[21:25] <D_Russ> cheako: if i try to browse my image files from within gimp, or inkscape or anyother app the zoom option is not there, unless i am missing something
[21:25] <jake_> hey, i just installed 11.10 on my new comp and i have it plugged into a tv. the current size of the screen doesn't fit the tv, and none of the resolutions i pick in display preferences do either. how can i fix this?
[21:25] <Shirakawasuna> nazo_: xubuntu by default has some gnome stuff
[21:25] <BouerBouer> ubottu: HOLY CRAP THAT'S CREEPY uh ok
[21:25] <D_Russ> ubottu is a bot
[21:25] <BouerBouer> yeah russ just realized oh wow that's some really good AI
[21:25] <[sYn]> jake: Sounds like an overscan issue to me, although I'm not sure how to fix that! Might help with your googling :)!
[21:26] <sneezewort> Yes, I meant Oneiric. Sorry about that.
[21:26] <Pfadi> i need a Guest in our Guestbook
[21:26] <DangerOnTheRangr> Uh oh, ubottu is self-aware :)

[21:26] <white_magic> anyone know which setting would allow me to make the 'switcher' (ALT+TAB thing) icons way smaller? not just the icons.. the entire thign
[21:26] <white_magic> *thing
[21:26] <nazo_> Let me see what it wants to install if I try to install that one
[21:26] <white_magic> I have compizconfig manager installed, by the way
[21:26] <nazo_> I can't help but to think that there must be some more generic way of doing it though
[21:27] <nazo_> hmm, just three packages required
[21:27] <Creap> dajhorn: ok, I'll look into that
[21:27] <Pfadi> Can your Name and adresse and JID please?
[21:27] <robin0800> nazo_, I told you alsamixer and f6

[21:27] <nazo_> I did that robin0800.  Either PulseAudio has a separate configuration or perhaps it bypasses Alsa or something because it at least is still using the onboard
[21:28] <redjustice> !guidelines
[21:28] <robin0800> nazo_, pulse audio is built on top of alsa
[21:28] <Pfadi> nick
[21:28] <span89> ugh
[21:28] <nazo_> That's what I thought, but PulseAudio "default device" goes to onboard, Also "default device" goes to the USB soundcard.
[21:29] <nazo_> *Alsa
[21:29] <tom_afterburn> hello could someone help me with google earth please
[21:29] <virusz> usb dongle not working...lsusb 1076:7f00..then i found this 1076:7f40 in usb modeswtich data...the same vendor id different product number..can i just modify the default product id
[21:29] <cheako_> Hello, the contacts list in Empathy is not persistent.  That is every time I login, it's empty again.
[21:29] <Stereocaulon> IsmAvatar, your /proc/asound/cards shows that it is indeed outputting a digital signal, which should work just fine with your USB speakers...
[21:30] <nazo_> Hmm...  I just installed the gnome-media package, but so far can't find any sort of multimedia system selector
[21:30] <Pfadi> i need a guest
[21:30] <span89> HELP PLEASE - Had Windows XP and installed Ubuntu 11.10. My wireless card is now not working. It's a Broadcom BCM5751 on a Dell Latitude D610. Yes, it was working before I put Ubuntu on it. - HELP PLEASE
[21:30] <Stereocaulon> IsmAvatar, I'm thinking aloud here, not having any solutions yet...
[21:30] <m3asmi> tom_efterburn: download google-earth.bin
[21:30] <bazhang> Pfadi, wrong channel please stop asking
[21:30] <pondera> quick question, if i put ubuntu on a usbdrive can  i still use it to install ubuntu on another comp
[21:31] <span89> pondera: if your usbdrive is bootable, yes
[21:31] <Pfadi> ok sorry
[21:31] <D_Russ> can anyone help me with a nautilis question
[21:31] <redjustice> I'm in need of assistance with 11.10. I just updated, and now nothing is loading, no launcher, no top right menu bar options.
[21:31] <meerkats> im upgrading to 11.10 via usb stick, what does "when starting up from this disc, documents and settinges will be... stored or discarded, which one should I choose and why?
[21:31] <pondera> k thanks
[21:32] <Stereocaulon> brb, grabbing something to drink.
[21:32] <tom_afterburn> i have installed it, but when i start it it can't connect to server
[21:32] <nazo_> *sigh*  I just don't get why Xubuntu doesn't already come with some simple app to select the default soundcard instead of having to go through all of this.
[21:32] <IsmAvatar> Stereocaulon: aware. It's pretty weird for me too. When I had the issue, first thing I checked was 1) Is it muted (no), and 2) Is Sound Settings set up right? (yes). Then, being out of ideas, I came here :-)
[21:32] <span89> pondera: if your usbdrive is bootable, yes
[21:32] <span89> HELP PLEASE - Had Windows XP and installed Ubuntu 11.10. My wireless card is now not working. It's a Broadcom BCM5751 on a Dell Latitude D610. Yes, it was working before I put Ubuntu on it. - HELP PLEASE\
[21:33] <bazhang> !helpme | span89
[21:33] <deerdancer> nazo_: just try out alsamixer in any terminal! it'll spare you the headache! ;)
[21:33] <bazhang> pondera, use unetbootin
[21:33] <Nazosan> deerdancer, already did that.  PulseAudio still goes to the onboard.
[21:33] <span89> ubottu: understood.
[21:33] <dajhorn> meerkats: If you will only use the USB stick to do installations, then choose discard.  The other choice puts a read/write home directory on the USB media.
[21:34] <pondera> Bazhang, what is that
[21:34] <bazhang> !unetbootin | pondera
[21:34] <Nazosan> I _think_ it did change the ALSA soundcard since if I select ALSA and default device in my music player I do get sound through the USB soundcard, but if I select PulseAudio (which doesn't let me select which device is used at all) it just goes back to the onboard
[21:34] <svip> I just made a terrible terrible TERRIBLE mistake by 'upgrading' to 10.11 (since the system kept insisting), apparently now I cannot use any desktop.  I cannot even use the Internet correctly from tty2, because some idiot decided that I needed a GUI to connect to the Internet.
[21:35] <dorfbewohner> Can someone explain me how to set Evolution as the default mail client in Oneiric?
[21:35] <svip> I can't believe Ubuntu is forcing me to dual boot into Windows. ;-;
[21:35] <IsmAvatar> svip: you mean 11.10, I assume
[21:35] <svip> IsmAvatar: Correct.y
[21:35] <svip> -y
[21:35] <Arkaniad> Anybody understand why I can't make  but i can receive calls in Empathy, yet when I answer a call I can't hear them but they can hear me?
[21:36] <bosyi> hi people. who can say me what default applications whitelisted in 11.10 (gsettings get com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist)
[21:36] <span89> Had Windows XP and installed Ubuntu 11.10. My wireless card is now not working. It's a Broadcom BCM5751 on a Dell Latitude D610. Yes, it was working before I put Ubuntu on it.
[21:36] <Reaper> 3
[21:36] <dajhorn> Arkaniad: That sounds like a SIP + NAT problem.   Are you trying to do a sip:// voip call?
[21:36] <goose84> Why isnt this command excluding the patern
[21:36] <goose84> tar -zcvf media.tar.gz --exclude /home/vhosts/domain.au/httpdocs/media/stores/*/products/* /home/vhosts/domain.au/httpdocs/media
[21:36] <svip> I realise I might have had my doubts about Unity and Gnome 3 and I think the desktop was fine as it was, but I expected - at the very least - to see more than just blackness.
[21:36] <Stereocaulon> IsmAvatar, did you upgrade (like I did), or did you make a clean install?
[21:37] <deerdancer> Nazosan: try custom installing alsa! i had a similar problem back on 9.xx. custom install worked well for my intel desktop!
[21:37] <pondera> Bazhang, im using the pend drive linux
[21:37] <Arkaniad> dajhorn: No, I'm trying to use Google Talk to make a voice call. My friend can call me just fine with GTalk but i can't hear him. My volume is on max, too. Another problem: I don't get empathy sound alerts, could be related, but I'm most worried about the fact that it just flat out wont let me start a call.
[21:37] <Nazosan> Custom install? I do hope you don't mean compile and install it myself or something.
[21:37] <robin0800> nazo_, type gstreamer-properties in a terminal
[21:37] <IsmAvatar> Stereocaulon: upgraded
[21:38] <svip> If it is a non-reverseable mistake, then how do I get about getting... say... an interface?
[21:38] <svip> Something I can interact with.
[21:38] <Nazosan> hmmm...  gstreamer-properties did run and setup correctly, but I'm still getting the onboard SPU in my player when using PulseAudio
[21:39] <jbuncher> Can anyone help me understand why there doesn't seem to be an Ubuntu One music store plugin for Rhythmbox in Oneiric?
[21:39] <Stereocaulon> IsmAvatar, did you already try to boot a LiveCD of Oneiric? That way you can pinpoint it to either a config. conflict or a general failure of Oneiric to get the settings right for your setup.
[21:39] <dajhorn> Arkaniad: A quick search of Launchpad suggests that Empathy in Oneiric is broken.  eg: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/empathy/+bug/758240
[21:39] <ufmblan> please help. no network devices available!!
[21:39] <IsmAvatar> Stereocaulon: I have not tried a LiveCD, since I haven't burned one yet.
[21:39] <Arkaniad> dajhorn: Good enough answer for me, seems many things are broken / half working in Oneiric :P
[21:39] <dajhorn> Arkaniad: I use Chromium with the Google Talk plugin, and it works on Oneiric.
[21:40] <span89> Had Windows XP and installed Ubuntu 11.10. My wireless card is now not working. It's a Broadcom BCM5751 on a Dell Latitude D610. Yes, it was working before I put Ubuntu on it.
[21:40] <Arkaniad> dajhorn: Sounds like an idea.
[21:40] <Stereocaulon> IsmAvatar, that would be my next action if I were in your shoes.
[21:40] <pondera> Bazhang, im using the pend drive linux
[21:40] <tom_afterburn> span89: backup files and use dell restore cd
[21:41] <svip> Well, I suppose I am just going to stay with Windows then.  I had enjoyed using Linux for a while now, but I guess it won't allow me to use it anymore.   Is there any way to keep most aspects of Unity except for the menu that appears on the left side itself? Want to replace it with a CairoDock along the bottom
[21:41] <qwebirc80466> after upgrading to 11.10, there is a continous error at boot,about looking for a network configuration,and then it sits there forever.
[21:41] <IsmAvatar> Stereocaulon: ok. I'll try that out. Thanks for your help so far. I'll be back after I try that if I'm not able to fix it.
[21:41] <span89> tom_afterburn: back up what files? personal? have none. and no restore cd either.
[21:41] <Nazosan> I tried pulseaudio -k just in case it needed to restart the service and I closed the audio player, but still onboard SPU.  Too bad, gstreamer-properties at least looked like it was what I needed, but apparently it didn't work.
[21:41] <span89> it says that it recognizes I have a hard
[21:41] <ufmblan> While messing with packages on synaptic after 11
[21:41] <span89> card*
[21:41] <ufmblan> 10
[21:41] <span89> but it says network DISABLED
[21:42] <Stereocaulon> IsmAvatar, another thing that you might do is to monitor the syslog with a tail -f just before playing a sound.
[21:42] <gwb> Hi. just upgraded to 11.10.  Many icons missing in launcher. How can I set icons in the launcher?
[21:42] <akira_> Does anyone know how to fix this error:: " there seems to be a programming error in aptdaemon, the software that allows you to install/remove software and to perform other package management related tasks?
[21:42] <span89> when typing in sudo lshw -C network on the terminal
[21:42] <BouerBouer> OOO SICK nevermind automatically started using CairoDock instead =D
[21:42] <tom_afterburn> span89: ok dell is cheap and nasty. you should be able to do a "factory restore"
[21:42] <dorfbewohner> I have set Evolution as the default mail client, but when I click the envelope symbol in the panel, it still suggests me Thunderbird. Any help?
[21:42] <BouerBouer> wait no it didn't lol nevermind
[21:42] <Stereocaulon> akira_, no but it does sound rather serious.
[21:42] <th__> i have 2 displays and that new "top bar" is mirrored to them both. is it possible to make it visible to only 1 screen?
[21:43] <svip> How many do upgrades compared to reinstallations?
[21:43] <Mikeb4> please help...no network devices available.
[21:43] <Gentoo64> svip: a lot of upgrades go bad
[21:43] <IsmAvatar> Stereocaulon: tail -f is empty, aside from a warning that following stdin indefinitely is ineffective (lol?)
[21:43] <span89> tom_afterburn: how do i accomplish that, and what exactly will that do?
[21:43] <smw> should I download ubuntu-11.10-alternate-amd64.iso or ubuntu-11.10-alternate-i386.iso?
[21:43] <svip> Gentoo64: Tell me about, I lost my ability to interact with my system.
[21:43] <cheako> I'm looking for help with Empathy.
[21:43] <Gentoo64> yeah id recommend clean install
[21:43] <Gentoo64> too many major changes
[21:44] <smw> Has 64bit gotten good enough?
[21:44] <Gentoo64> smw: use 64 bit
[21:44] <Gentoo64> its been the norm for years
[21:44] <IsmAvatar> cheako: most of us are psychologists
[21:44] <svip> Gentoo64: I probably shouldn't even do that; as in just stick with what was working.
[21:44] <Stereocaulon> th__, I dont'think that's possible, since it's occupied with the menubar for any programs that have a menubar.
[21:44] <akira_> so does that mean fresh install?
[21:44] <jmcantrell> how do you set the preferred applications?
[21:44] <smw> Gentoo64, the page still suggests 32bit :-P.
[21:44] <Gentoo64> svip: well yea if it works and you like it, no ones forcing you to upgrade
[21:44] <Gentoo64> smw: thats to guarantee it works on every cpu
[21:44] <qwebirc80466> after upgrade from 11.01 to 11.10, i get a searching for network configuration error that just sits there foreveer, continue passed 60 seconds is allI ever get.
[21:44] <deerdancer> dorfbewohner: just install evolution, and in the settings app, in 'Default Application' part, change the email client to evolution!
[21:44] <jbuncher> Can anyone help me understand why there doesn't seem to be an Ubuntu One music store plugin for Rhythmbox in Oneiric?
[21:45] <cheako> I'm looking for help with Empathy...  See my previous posts about contacts being cleared....  AFK
[21:45] <svip> Gentoo64: At least before, there wasn't a popup about the whole upgrade now thingie.   Made my mind to give Unity 2D a change.. but I only have 1 issue, every time my screen goes to "pause" I have to reboot to get back to the desktop
[21:45] <CodeWar> I just want to see my current desktop apps when ATL-TAB'bing ... how do I get that back please
[21:45] <Mikeb4> after 11.10 upgrade, no network devices available
[21:45] <satanaa> chance*
[21:45] <svip> Gentoo64: I guess I got carried away.  Assuming I would have at least a desktop.
[21:45] <Mikeb4> please help
[21:46] <svip> Alas, I was too naïve.  Well, I won't be fixing this tonight, that's for sure.
[21:46] <Gentoo64> svip: what did you upgrade to? 11.04?
[21:46] <satanaa> Anyone experienced this, or knows what I have to do?
[21:46] <svip> Gentoo64: 11.10.
[21:46] <Gentoo64> svip: ah well thats testing version
[21:46] <svip> Gentoo64: Testing version?
[21:46] <wolter> anybody having problems installing ubuntu 11.10 64bit desktop?
[21:46] <Gentoo64> or is 11.10 out now?
[21:46] <wolter> yes
[21:46] <Gentoo64> ohhh
[21:46] <Gentoo64> ok lol
[21:46] <svip> Gentoo64: Why did I get a big window saying 'GET 11.10 NOW, DUUUUUDE'
[21:46] <th__> Stereocaulon, how come? its possible in gnome-shell...
[21:46] <svip> Oh, I see.
[21:46] <jbuncher> Gentoo64, 11.10 was released yesterday or the day before.
[21:47] <Gentoo64> svip: because its out now
[21:47] <valsum> wolter: installed without problems
[21:47] <dinussaurus> hi folks. i'm using oneiric ocelot. i installed compizconfig settings manager, but after i opened it, it made my screen go black. after i rebooted, nautilus loaded, but there was no unity, no clock, no taskbar. i don't even know how to look up my problem because i'm new. can someone suggest what to do?
[21:47] <satanaa> dang i need this issue fixed
[21:47] <hagus> Is python installed automatically with ubuntu or do I need to install it myself?
[21:47] <Gentoo64> seemed like only couple days ago someone said itll be out in 2 weeks
[21:47] <wolter> I am getting this weird squashfs error and its freakingme out
[21:47] <IsmAvatar> Stereocaulon: am I doing it right? Just `tail -f` or do I have to specify a log file?
[21:47] <ufmblan> I need help
[21:47] <Stereocaulon> IsmAvatar, I meant the following line: sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog
[21:47] <tom_afterburn> snap89: http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/laptop/f/3518/t/19257458.aspx

[21:47] <smw> hagus, python is part of the default install
[21:48] <delac> seems that firefox cant connect anywhere if the proxy is set manually, nor does it use system wide proxy even if told to do so. fix?
[21:48] <Nazosan> I'm getting the impression that gstreamer-properties is really more for specific applications...  Is there anything else that might affect PulseAudio settings?
[21:48] <svip> Gentoo64: Well, upgrades have never killed my ability to at least have an interface and an Internet connection.
[21:48] <span89> What/where is the "desktop menu"
[21:48] <Bragex9> I have finally managed to get the unity desktop to load properly, but only when I log in as a guest. If I try to log in with my regular name and password the screen gets black for a couple of seconds and I am then bounced back to the login box. What is causing this problem?
[21:48] <svip> Gentoo64: With those two, I tend to fix mostly everything that goes wrong.
[21:48] <deerdancer> jbuncher: cuz its there in banshee! that's the way canonical's decided to go! rhythmbox used to have an ubuntuone plugin back in 11.04!
[21:48] <span89> What/where is the "desktop menu"? I'm being told to go to "System > Admin..."
[21:48] <Gentoo64> svip: well you never know... i hear all sorts of random stuff after people have upgraded. id always clean install if i was you
[21:48] <IsmAvatar> Stereocaulon: nothing of interest there. Want me to pastebin?
[21:48] <wolter> valsum, from usb?
[21:49] <deerdancer> span89: what do you mean by desktop menu?
[21:49] <yagoo> delac, for old versions of firefox proxy settings were broken..
[21:49] <hagus> At the top of my file it says #!/bin/env python but when I run ./test.py it says /bin/env: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
[21:49] <svip> Gentoo64: What my friends keep telling me.    The plugin used to be there (and in banshee), why isn't it still in rhythmbox?
[21:49] <IsmAvatar> Stereocaulon: http://pastebin.com/sNeYaY8y
[21:49] <svip> Gentoo64: Also, aren't you in the wrong distro channel?
[21:49] <Stereocaulon> IsmAvatar, no, if you can't find anything audiorelated, you won't get anything that way...Sigh...

[21:51] <svip> Gentoo64: Maybe, anyway, I am going to leave now.  Maybe I will find a way in the morning.

[21:51] <Hochiminh> hi guys, does the ubuntu 10.04 install CD include desktop enviormnent
[21:51] <yagoo> nicofs, are you connecting to your own wifi?
[21:51] <span89> tom_afterburn: thank you for your help thus far. i'm trying the solution(s) found on this page now - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx. i'm currently under step 2, but i have no idea what the "desktop menu" is.
[21:51] <Hochiminh> or do i need to have a internet cvonnection to add
[21:51] <yagoo> nicofs, be sure of that first..
[21:51] <nicofs> yagoo, yes
[21:51] <gogeta> dinussaurus: :-(
[21:52] <Gentoo64> Hochiminh: yes
[21:52] <span89> tom_afterburn: could you clarify that for me, please?
[21:52] <deerdancer> jbuncher: i know its a stupid reason! my answer comes from my grudge,.. canonical forced me to switch to gnome-shell cuz of the lame unity! but again, custom installing plugins may work!
[21:52] <yagoo> nicofs, try pinging your own gateway..
[21:52] <jbuncher> Hochiminh, as long as you grab the desktop version and not the server version, yes.
[21:52] <gogeta> deerdancer: xubuntu hehe
[21:52] <yagoo> nicofs, and see if that spikes
[21:52] <Hochiminh> gentoo64 is there a list of packages on the ubuntu 10.04 cd?
[21:52] <Gentoo64> Hochiminh: the usual gnome stuff
[21:52] <Stereocaulon> IsmAvatar, nope, nothing useful in that pastebin, the last entries were rather old.
[21:52] <Hochiminh> ok, close enough
[21:53] <deerdancer> span89: if you're using 11.10, just tap the super (windows key lol) and type additional drivers!
[21:53] <nicofs> yagoo, how do i find out, what my gateway is?
[21:53] <deerdancer> m3asmi: sweet! ;)
[21:53] <yagoo> nico1038, so u never setup ur wifi
[21:53] <satanaa> I 1 issue, every time my screen goes to "pause" I have to reboot to get back to the desktop, anyone know what I have to do to fix it?
[21:53] <yagoo> nicofs, ^
[21:53] <jbuncher> deerdancer, well, that's just ridiculous.  I may give gnome-shell a try, though I had some font issues with it last night.  I just want to be able to click twice to get to my applications (once to open a menu, again on the app to launch) Is that too much to ask????
[21:53] <Stereocaulon> nicofs, you can look that up using ifconfig
[21:53] <yagoo> nicofs, if u dont know ur gateway ip# (local ip#), then u probably didnt setup ur wifi server
[21:53] <illmortal> does anyone know the generic video driver that Ubuntu 11.10 uses in its livecd? It gave me dual screen capability.. where as NVIDIA-Settings is making my system buggy.
[21:53] <span89> deerdancer: it says there are no additional propetary drivers. wifi is still not working.

[21:54] <gogeta> yea
[21:54] <deerdancer> jbuncher: seriously mate. gnome-shell's beautiful!
[21:54] <yagoo> illmortal, generic is vesa
[21:54] <illmortal> Gentoo64, so do I need to completely remove nvidia drivers?
[21:54] <illmortal> then restart?
[21:54] <nicofs> yagoo, i know the ip of the router... if that's what you mean
[21:54] <deerdancer> span89: type into shell #rfkill unblock all
[21:54] <Gentoo64> illmortal: yes it should unblacklist nouveau
[21:54] <jbuncher> deerdancer, it looks nice, but has the same "clickability" issues that unity has.  and, some letters weren't showing up last night.  it was odd
[21:54] <yagoo> nicofs, try pinging that and see if there's a spike
[21:54] <tom_afterburn> step89: which step 2 r u referring to, there are multiple?
[21:54] <deerdancer> span89: type into shell "#rfkill unblock all" without quotes!
[21:54] <IsmAvatar> Stereocaulon: we may have a different time zone. At the time I posted that pastebin, it was 17:49, 1 minute after the last entry.
[21:54] <Stereocaulon> nicofs, the router *is* your gateway (apart from a complex network setup, that is)
[21:54] <jbuncher> deerdancer, I'm going to log into that, actually
[21:54] <tom_afterburn> span89: not step89
[21:55] <illmortal> ok thank you Gentoo64, will try it out right now.
[21:55] <yagoo> nicofs, how far away are u from the router? (maybe there's intereference with other things at channel 6.. try another channel)
[21:55] <span89> tom_afterburn: Step 2 under "INSTALLING STA DRIVERS" It reads: "Under the desktop menu System > Administration > Hardware/Additional Drivers, the STA drivers can be activated for use."
[21:55] <nicofs> yagoo, and you are correct, i did not set it up - i only use it - with many devices, all of which have no issues apart from the one i'm writing about...
[21:55] <yagoo> nicofs, good luck.
[21:55] <Stereocaulon> IsmAvatar, thank you for that correction. Anyway, the log does not contain anything useful relating to sound.
[21:55] <IsmAvatar> Stereocaulon: I was watching it, and there was just a bunch of the CMD /dev/null stuff you saw until I opened Banshee and played a sound, at which point I saw those entries appear.
[21:56] <th__> i have 2 displays and that new "top bar" is mirrored to them both. is it possible to make it visible to only 1 screen?
[21:56] <akira_> ubuntu 11.10 is the new development release is it not?
[21:56] <IsmAvatar> Stereocaulon: ok. I'll try the liveCD then
[21:56] <Gentoo64> 12.04 no?
[21:56] <hipo> hey this is not ubuntu related but more related to the chromium webbrowser but how do enable local cahcing of data
[21:56] <IsmAvatar> Stereocaulon: thanks again for your help so far.
[21:56] <christopher> hey whats with Empathy not working
[21:56] <Gentoo64> hipo: use polipo
[21:56] <oCean> akira_: 11.10 has been officially released oct 13th. Next release will be 12.04 (LTS)
[21:56] <m3asmi> deerdancer: but the effect doesn't work yeat :'(
[21:56] <christopher> I cant enter my account info
[21:56] <illmortal> alright going to restart in hopes I get my dual screens back :D
[21:56] <Stereocaulon> IsmAvatar, that's quite strange as those entries seem to have nothinig to do with the sound system.
[21:56] <Gentoo64> hipo: does it by default no setup required
[21:56] <deerdancer> is anyone else using irccloud? god chrome's going apeshit hogging away 120megs on this one channel alone!
[21:56] <christopher> http://i.imgur.com/Gm34h.png
[21:57] <IsmAvatar> Stereocaulon: they may have just been invoked by Banshee
[21:57] <christopher> like I type it in and it wont let me continue
[21:57] <hipo> Gentoo64, whats that
[21:57] <deerdancer> m3asmi: what do you mean? you're still getting the same unity interface?
[21:57] <Gentoo64> hipo: just add --proxy-server=<IP_ADDRESS>:8123 to the app line
[21:57] <Stereocaulon> IsmAvatar, sorry for not being to help you. I sympathise with you. Sound is a constant string of troubles for Ubuntu Desktops.
[21:57] <Gentoo64> hipo: a caching proxy
[21:57] <TehAndrew> i have major issues with catalyst and 11.10, the windows gets choppy if i enable vsync, but i don't want tearing either
[21:57] <nicofs> yagoo, it uses no encryption apart from a mac filter table - so there should be no issues about that. pinging the router results in times between 1.4 and 2500ms - and makes my internet connection even worse...
[21:57] <tom_afterburn> span89: the help was written for an older version of ubuntu. in the top left there is an icon, when you click on it a search box appears. type SYSTEM in the search box. you will see System Settings icon, click on that
[21:57] <hipo> Gentoo64, wo dude u lost me
[21:57] <IsmAvatar> Stereocaulon: I've noticed v_v
[21:57] <m3asmi> deerdancer:yeas :(
[21:58] <akira_> so it was probably a bad idea i used windows to burn 11.10 formatted my harddrive and now cant install any programs because there is a massive error in my daemon- so i can't even burn a "different" copy of ubuntu ...
[21:58] <yagoo> nicofs, then it's something between your laptop and your router.
[21:58] <Gentoo64> hipo: polipo will cache websites to disk
[21:58] <Stereocaulon> IsmAvatar, Banshee should not even have rights to call an apt service.
[21:58] <deerdancer> m3asmi: dear you need to select 'GNOME' during login from a small gear icon near the password field!
[21:58] <TehAndrew> can i somehow enable vsync and get rid of the choppy windows? and when i say choppy i mean that they're lagging as i move them
[21:58] <hipo> gentoo64, so how do i add --proxy-server=<IP_ADDRESS>:8123 to the thing
[21:58] <yagoo> nicofs, and you should be using encryption. Mac Filtering can always be spoofed.
[21:58] <christopher> so noone can help me?
[21:58] <TehAndrew> i've tried disabling vsync in compiz settings manager, but then i get screen tearing again
[21:58] <th__> when i send azureus or pidgin to system tray, icons does not do anything :S when i left or right click them... plz help :)
[21:59] <IsmAvatar> Stereocaulon: maybe it was just a coincidence then. System checking for updates or some such at the same time I happened to play banshee
[21:59] <span89> It says there are no proprietary drivers in use! Dammit!
[21:59] <Gentoo64> hipo: either on the desktop app shortcut. or add that to /etc/chromium/default
[21:59]  * yagoo says anybody can easily scan Mac Filters in plain air.. and assimilate it. << ITS NOT A SECURITY FEATURE
[21:59] <christopher> ive never had so many issues in a single Ubuntu release ever
[21:59] <christopher> you people broke everything
[21:59] <nicofs> but what could that be? i'm 5 meters and a wall away - and all other devices in this room don't complain - even if i plug the wifi dongle i'm using now into them...
[21:59] <Gentoo64> hipo: under the chromium_flags
[21:59] <Stereocaulon> IsmAvatar, to check that you can try to play the same file again, I seriously doubt those entries are related to Banshee or any part of the sound system
[21:59]  * yagoo tells nicofs that using MAC FILTERING doesn't lock other people in the neighborhood from connecting
[21:59] <christopher> can I please get some help setting up empathy?
[22:00] <m3asmi> deerdancer: yes I'm now in Gnome session like you said Unity
[22:00] <bazhang> yagoo, please stop that
[22:00] <nicofs> yagoo, i know that i should - but it's not my decision and so i can't change that... and not my problem atm. i just want to surf the internet...
[22:00] <hipo> gentoo64, ok im in about:flags
[22:00] <yagoo> bazhang, stop what?
[22:00] <bazhang> christopher, patience please
[22:00] <tom_afterburn> span89: i carefully chose my laptop so that it does not require any proprietary drivers. unfortunately getting your wireless to work in ubuntu maybe to too much hassle
[22:00] <Gentoo64> hipo: not about:flags
[22:00] <span89> Can anyone help me? I've been in this channel for quite some time now
[22:00] <IsmAvatar> Stereocaulon: nope, it's Banshee all right. I just repeated the process.
[22:00] <bazhang> yagoo, all the /me
[22:00] <yagoo> bazhang, he said he uses mac filtering.
[22:00] <span89> tom_afterburn: understood.
[22:00] <yagoo> bazhang, grow up. I used it twice.
[22:00] <Gentoo64> hipo: gksudo gedit /etc/chromium/default
[22:00] <hipo> gentoo64, chrome://flags/
[22:00]  * TehAndrew asks for help, but gets completly ignored.
[22:00] <Tohuw> I'm assisting a friend who has a Wacom Bamboo tablet in 11.10. It mostly works, but in GIMP it seems to randomly draw lines across the screen. Like, she will draw a straight line, it will draw two lines all the way from the  upper left of the canvas for no apparent reason, in addition to whatever she drew. Her settings in GIMP and wacomcpl are correct as per https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wacom Any insights?
[22:00] <span89> tom_afterburn: this is a legacy laptop that I was just looking to spice up, not my main machine. but it would be nice... wired networking works on it, but wireless would be fantastic
[22:01] <Gentoo64> hipo: or whatever editor you use
[22:01] <th__> when i send azureus or pidgin to system tray, icons does not do anything :S when i left or right click them... plz help :)
[22:01] <Aleo> hi all again
[22:01] <hipo> Gentoo64, ok a lil box popped up after i put that in the terminal
[22:01] <Shirakawasuna> does anyone here know how thunderbird chooses its default app to open links in? Since switching to chrome from chromium, it wants to use firefox rather than chrome (despite my settings in xfce and hitting the 'default browser' button in chrome)
[22:01] <Gentoo64> hipo: does it say CHROMIUM_FLAGS=""
[22:01] <Tohuw> th__: GNOME 2 style tray icons are no longer supported. There is a patch for pidgin iirc, but I don't know about azureus.
[22:01] <oCean> TehAndrew: have some patience, no need for silly /me messages to draw attention
[22:02] <Aleo> on last Ubuntu there is still no way to control the icons size of the left dock ?
[22:02] <Stereocaulon> IsmAvatar, that's *really* weird as those processes should have nothing in common with each other after having installed Banshee of course...The Cron line is also unrelated.
[22:02] <Gentoo64> Shirakawasuna: im not sure. you can remove firefox from /usr/bin/xdg-open and itll use chrome
[22:02] <th__> Tohuw, :S. but the icons are there?
[22:02] <Gentoo64> Shirakawasuna: not sure of a cleaner way though
[22:02] <hipo> Gentoo64, in the top is say default (/ect/chromium) getit
[22:02] <MyNickIsLongerTh> I'm trying out Oneric, but I'm finding that the interface hides the menu bar on many programs.  I do need to be able to see the menus on some programs that I use.  Is there a way to disable menu bar hiding?
[22:02] <Tohuw> th__: that doesn't mean the icons are supported. gnome-taskbar no longer exists in Unity.
[22:03] <Gentoo64> hipo: no text?
[22:03] <emorris> MyNickIsLongerTh, hover over the panel, and they appear
[22:03] <Stereocaulon> IsmAvatar, anyway, I hope that your sound does work on a LiveCD session, so you can make comparisons in config files involved.
[22:03] <deerdancer> span89: can you post the o/p of "lshw |gi wireless" ?
[22:03] <hipo> Gentoo64, nothing just a blank page
[22:03] <Aleo> it is strange that we are no able to control the icons size of the Unity dock, on the Cairo dock we have settings
[22:03] <Gentoo64> hipo: exit that then
[22:03] <IsmAvatar> Stereocaulon: let's keep our fingers crossed ;-)
[22:03] <Tohuw> MyNickIsLongerTh: not at this time, though you can remove the autohiding completely by removing the unity indicator package.
[22:03] <Gentoo64> hipo: sure you didnt make a type?
[22:03] <MyNickIsLongerTh> emorris: yes, I know, but I need to be able to *see* them, rather than hover to see.  It's an extra step that slows me down a lot
[22:03] <Shirakawasuna> Gentoo64: should export BROWSER=google-chrome work temporarily?
[22:03] <th__> Tohuw, are you serious??
[22:03] <Gentoo64> hipo: typo*
[22:03] <MyNickIsLongerTh> Tohuw: Thanks!  How do I do that?
[22:03] <Tohuw> th__: yes.
[22:03] <th__> no task bar in unity??
[22:04] <Gentoo64> Shirakawasuna: try it
