[18:53] <Lancelot> I have headers for older versions of the kernel installed, is it safe to uninstall these packages?
[18:53] <brown_fern> bttf: If you happen to be running the Knoppix linux distro and want to run it without mounting (loading) the hard disk drive or using the swap partition (virtual memory) the "cheat code" for this is "forensic," so, as I understand, one would enter "knoppix forensic" at the boot prompt, good luck with that hard disk drive.
[18:55] <xhhj> never mind i figured it out
[18:55] <nit-wit> bttf, you see nothing like this .  Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)
[18:55] <xhhj> turns out i needed to click next at "i'll enter my acct details now"
[18:55] <bttf> nope
[18:55] <jag> hey guys anybody here could help me with something?
[18:56] <Lancelot> Is it safe to remove headers for older versions of the kernel?
[18:56] <HelloWorld321> Anybody have any tips or links for installing ODBC on Natty?  All the stuff I get out of Google is old, and (to me) cryptic, because it assumes I know driver file and pathnames (which I don't)
[18:56] <nit-wit> bttf, I suspect your not looking close enough if your getting a signal. Could be wrong.
[18:56] <bttf> hmph
[18:56] <KaiDOg> After finding the firefox executable on my HD, how do I find out what version it is? It doesn't tell me when I use the file command or when I select properties.
[18:57] <jag> i need to move a file into a root directory
[18:58] <nit-wit> KaiDOg, click help inn the FF panel
[18:58] <xhhj> jag you need to use a terminal emulator
[18:58] <coz_> jag,  either in terminal   sudo mv nameof file    nameoflocation
[18:58] <coz_> jag,  or in terminal    sudo nautilus  and then just drag an drop
[18:58] <jag> k i'll try that
[18:58] <KaiDOg> nit-wit : I think I have multiple versions of firefox installed on my HD so I'm trying to find all the executables on my disk drive and find out what versions they are.
[18:59] <jag> sweet it worked thanks coz
[18:59] <nit-wit> KaiDOg, not sure I understand you.;)
[19:00] <KaiDOg> nit-wit : I think I have firefox 3.5.x and 3.6.x and 4.0 on my hard drive
[19:01] <krasko> hi, i installed ubuntu 11.04 on my dell notebook. after running apt-get upgrade and reboot, it freezes few seconds after boot (didn't ask me for hdd passphrase). where should be problem? thanks.
[19:02] <antihero> You know the drives that are detected and mounted when you "open" them. What is the correct way to have them mount automatically at startup?
[19:02] <ActionParsnip> krasko: if you hold shift at boot, does the old kernel boot ok?
[19:02] <nit-wit> KaiDOg, look in synaptic, or in home if you have done direct mozilla downloads if thatr is where you would have put a direct download.
[19:03] <antihero> Also what is the alternative to the preferences/administration menus in Unity?
[19:03] <ActionParsnip> Antihero: add an entry in /etc/fstab
[19:03] <antihero> ActionParsnip: Ah cool. Won't that lead to duplicate drives in the places menu?
[19:04] <brown_fern> bttf: there are "brand name" hardware companies that computer users buy products from and then there the companies who make the chips on the network devices, you're not looking for names such as D-Link when you type "lspci" at the command line, but rather Atheros, if I'm not mistaken.
[19:04] <krasko> ActionParsnip: it seems that yes. i can see kernel dmesg (when i select recovery mode), without problems. but after that, the screen whill shutdown and .. thaths all
[19:05] <Goeland86> hey guys, I'm looking for the equivalent to the pam-devel package... I'm working on a class assignment writing a pam module, but I need the PAM includes on the system
[19:05] <puff> I'm trying to use the startup disk creator.  I put a CD-R in my drive, select System/Admin/Startup Disk Creator, it pops up the "Make Startup Disk" dialog, I select the ISO, but the "Disk to use:" part of the dialog is empty and it doesn't seem to have a file chooser button to use to select the blank CD-R.
[19:05] <ActionParsnip> Antihero: don't believe so as mounting makes the device accessible as a folder. You can use nautilus to add the mountpoint in the places menu
[19:06] <antihero> ActionParsnip: Ah, okay. How would I change the disk label
[19:07] <ActionParsnip> Puff: startup disk creator is for USB and flash based storage. You open the ISO with your burning app
[19:07] <puff> ActionParsnip: Ah, okay, the "disk" part mislead me :-).
[19:08] <sabayonuser> Hello, Dear community members...I'm stuck with the biggest issue related to a grown up mans life, I can't decide if I should buy myself a Pizza or if I should make dinner myself, Can you please help me with this ?
[19:08] <ActionParsnip> !label | antihero
[19:08] <ActionParsnip> Puff: your logic isn't flawed :-D
[19:08] <ubuntu> holas
[19:08] <ubuntu> hola samigos
[19:09] <ActionParsnip> Puff: be sure to MD5 test the file before using it
[19:09] <puff> ActionParsnip: Also, I wanted to check and make sure the download is complete, it seems a tad bit undersized.  But I can't seem to find the md5sums for the downloads in ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download.
[19:09] <wendico> hello, i just installed ubuntu but the wifi is privative and i need i internet conection to activate it. How can i activate de wifi propietary driver offline?

[19:10] <tensorpudding> wendico: can you connect to your router with an ethernet cable
[19:10] <wendico> no, it is not possible but i have another online ubuntu laptop
[19:10] <jag> i was wondering if anybody could tell me if this "exe" listed in processes is a threat?
[19:10] <ActionParsnip> wendico: what chip does: sudo lshw -C network    say it is?
[19:10] <wendico> is there an easy solution or its better to run again live, activate in live session and then install again? it is just a clean install
[19:11] <Corollax> Is there a reason that a command would work when typed into terminal or alt+f2, but not when it's used as a shortcut on the panel?
[19:12] <ActionParsnip> Jag: paste the line or use pastebin and we can review
[19:12] <ActionParsnip> Corollax: the pwd may be important
[19:12] <Corollax> That's what I had speculated...
[19:13] <Corollax> But the command in question opens up a new terminal with the PWD specified as a command line switch
[19:13] <Corollax> "gnome-terminal --working-directory=foo -x bar"
[19:13] <Corollax> And it still doesn't work =\
[19:13] <jag> exe / Zombie / CPU 0 / Nice 0 / id 1480 / Memory N/A / waiting channel do_exit
[19:14] <wendico> ActionParsnip it is an atheros
[19:14] <ActionParsnip> Corollax: you may need a simple script to cd to the directory then run the command, then have the panel item run the script
[19:15] <Corollax> ActionParsnip: Is there a reason why "cd <directory> && command" doesn't work?
[19:15] <awanti> My server having 2 NIC card.      Is it Pci-Express?
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> Hi spacebass

[19:20] <Refael> question for everybody: is Unix dependent on BSD?
[19:21] <[THC]AcidRain> like i need help bad
[19:21] <Corollax> Refael: They share code now and again, but there's no dependency, persay
[19:21] <Refael> and what about Ubuntu?
[19:22] <Corollax> Ubuntu is a linux distribution -- a collection of common programs and libraries built upon the Linux kernel.
[19:22] <ActionParsnip> Refael: it uses a Linux kernel, not bsd
[19:22] <Eustaquio> Hi
[19:22] <kikki> Could anyone help me with phpmyadmin? i get error #1045 when logging in with a different user than root.
[19:22] <Ankhwatcher> hi
[19:22] <Refael> ActionParsnip: gracias amigo
[19:22] <Lancelot> Is it safe to remove old kernel images?
[19:22] <Ankhwatcher> is there a specific ubuntu help channel?
[19:23] <tensorpudding> Lancelot: yes
[19:23] <arand> Refael: BSD was another unix version, Ubuntu uses linux, which is neither, but implements similar userspace tools
[19:23] <[THC]AcidRain> anyone help me to tell me where to get help with a web server?
[19:23] <Refael> hola Ankhwatcher
[19:23] <Lancelot> tensorpudding: thanks!
[19:23] <ActionParsnip> Lancelot: absolutely, saves space too

[19:24] <bodmerocity> I just removed ubuntu by deleting its partion in windows 7, but when I restarted it tried to load up the grub and now I'm stuck there (i'm on a different computer now). Can someone please help me?
[19:24] <arand> Eustaquio: Try to boot with the recovery option, what kind of graphics cad do you use?
[19:25] <ActionParsnip> Lancelot: just keep the metapackage: linux-image and at least ONE with version numbers and you are gold
[19:25] <bindi> bodmerocity: load up windows cd, boot from it, go recovery mode, open cmd, do bootrec /fixmbr
[19:25] <sklorpion> bodmerocity: use install cd from win
[19:25] <Lancelot> ActionParsnip: sounds good, I'm actually trying to get PAE going right now
[19:25] <Eustaquio> arag0rn, can you tell me how to see them?
[19:25] <sklorpion> bodmerocity: then use commend fix mbr
[19:25] <bodmerocity> bindi: thanks!
[19:25] <Eustaquio> I'm turning it on in recovery mode
[19:25] <ActionParsnip> Lancelot: remember to run: sudo apt-get --purge autoremove
[19:25] <arand> bodmerocity: You in that process deleted half of grub as well, to get windows booting you need to reinstall the windows bootloader, via a windows install/repair DVD
[19:25] <[THC]AcidRain> ?
[19:26] <bodmerocity> sklorpion: will a recovery disk work? my system came with windows on it.
[19:26] <Ankhwatcher> Hey, I can't startx
[19:26] <Lancelot> ActionParsnip: k
[19:26] <Ankhwatcher> could somebody please help me?

[19:27] <sklorpion> bodmerocity: not sure, but ...
[19:27] <ActionParsnip> Lancelot: you can also close as many apps as possible and install and run bleachbit as root, recovers tonnes of space
[19:27] <jwm123TO> hello: I've installed clementine but it doesn't play -- it skips as if it lacks a codec or something.  Any advice?

[19:31] <darkorical> bloodriver are you wanting to connect concurrently or just instead of

[19:32] <sklorpion> bodmerocity: happy to help :)
[19:32] <darkorical> oh nmv I thought you said connect to wireless network

[19:35] <[THC]AcidRain> its not the forwarding thats the problem though blooddriver
[19:35] <[THC]AcidRain> its why the forwarding brings up the interface when i type a website in
[19:36] <[THC]AcidRain> and the virtualhost files are right
[19:36] <jag> oh wow that was wierd
[19:36] <jag> it works fine now with the classic interface
[19:36] <gsp2009> hello folks. Anyone hear of power management being borked on 11.04? When I try to change the power settings, they don't seem to take effect.

[19:37] <bloodriver> crap...i misunderstood...that's beyond me...sorry
[19:37] <sklorpion> coconutz: try acronis
[19:37] <lolmatic> jag: then it might be a unity issue.
[19:37] <patzen> hello everyone
[19:37] <lolmatic> jag: for me unity doesnt work at all. it seems to be pretty unfurbished.
[19:37] <jag> lolmatic: yea i guess so becuz the icon just blinked

[19:39] <bloodriver> yeah, i understand now, but i've never dealt w/that...i'm no use to you...sorry

[19:42] <KaiDOg> How come I have firefox 4 installed but I can only boot up firefox 3.5.6?
[19:42] <KaiDOg> Would a complete uninstall then reinstall fix that?
[19:43] <kajakajo> hey, I'm trying to download some mysql/apache/php/etc. onto a server install, and it's pretty large, but I think the aptitude install thing has hanged... I'm just unsure because I've never seen that. It's been on "processing triggers for man-db" forever... that's below the line "Unpacking mysql-server-core-5.1 (from .../mysql-server-core-5.1_5.1.41-3ubuntu12.10_i386.deb) " forever now...
[19:43] <kajakajo> should I kill and rerun the command?
[19:44] <monaDeveloper> Hi

[19:45] <james41855> I have a usb wireless mouse that I connected to laptop A and it works flawlessly.  `dmesg` outputs http://pastebin.com/CzFjsvAw as soon as I attach the mouse to laptop A.  However, when I attach the usb mouse to laptop B, nothing is appended to the output of `dmesg`  how come?  What can I do to find out why the usb ports are not functioning properly in the laptop?
[19:45] <brown_fern> KaiDOg: Ubuntu 11.4 would seem to be running Firefox 4.0.1, what version of Ubuntu are you running? I would upgrade if I were you.
[19:45] <jag> anybody knows what is this "exe" listed in my processes?
[19:46] <Ampelbein> jag: a mono program perhaps?
[19:46] <jag> how can i be sure?
[19:46] <KaiDOg> brown - I'm on 10.04 but I'm holding off on upgrading since I'm getting a new computer. But I want to run Firefox 4 in the mean time since some of my flash stopped working today.
[19:46] <quan> Hey, how do u uninstall programs on ubuntu?
[19:46] <jiltdil> how to make any file to 1024bit encrypt?
[19:46] <cousteau> who handles the keyboard layouts? have a few suggestions
[19:47] <monaDeveloper> quan: go to your software center search about the program hit remove authnticate
[19:47] <quan> monaDeveloper, thanks
[19:48] <nit-wit> KaiDOg, install the FF addon flash aid and run it.This will more than likely fix any flash problems. It will find the latest adobe and clean out any clutter including the loader.
[19:48] <eXoh> that was the only place I didn't look
[19:48] <burg> hello. on windows, in web browsers, when i click on the scroll button, then move the cursor up/down, it scrolls up/down. how can i enable this in ubuntu?
[19:49] <KaiDOg> excellent nit-wit, I didn't know about that add on
[19:49] <jiltdil> burg:it  scrolls always :)
[19:49] <nit-wit> KaiDOg, it is quite helpful.;)
[19:50] <infid> anyone know of a receipt scanner that works with linux?
[19:50] <burg> jiltdil, it doesn`t show that arrow and scroll
[19:51] <KaiDOg> I had a nightmare working out conflicting flash plugins with firefox a year ago or so. I finally got it fixed on my own, but it was messed up.
[19:52] <nit-wit> burg, edit-preferences-advanced it is on that page
[19:52] <jdahm> can I turn off the auto "sudo apt-get update" when I log in (both thru X11 and ssh)?
[19:52] <jdahm> it takes a long time and I ssh back and forth a lot
[19:53] <BluesKaj> FF is becoming a bit bloated , now that I'm used to chromium I haven't bothered with FF, KaiDOg
[19:53] <jdahm> amybe it's not actually doign that, but it takes a _really_ long time to log in and it tells me how many packages are out of date when I ssh
[19:53] <infid> ff4 is less bloated
[19:53] <jdahm> changing /etc/motd doesn't help, I think it gets overwritten
[19:54] <brown_fern> KaiDOg: I wish I could help but I just use the software that is in the repositories for my version of a given distribution. Call me unadventuresome but, as I understand, to install packages that are outside the repositories is potentially inviting trouble, as it can break the operating system, some say.
[19:54] <nit-wit> burg FF edit-preferences-advanced-use auto scrolling.
[19:54] <KaiDOg> Blues - I use firefox because I depend on the plug ins. But I switch back between it and Chrome
[19:55] <jag> anybody has moonlight installed for firefox?
[19:56] <BobTheGreat> how do I use the "Compress" context menu to create an ISO?
[19:56] <Ph0n7r1c_m> hay guys does anyone where a can download a DSTD from cause i have been trying to follow the acpibattery documentation but the link provide for the DSTD
[19:56] <KaiDOg> brown - Naw, not always. lxsplit and truecrypt are two examples of very good programs that aren't canonical but don't hurt the system. It'd be a shame to not take advantage of those utilities for fear of them hurting your computer.
[19:56] <Ankhwatcher> is there a linux command line tool that backs up configuration files?
[19:56] <Ph0n7r1c_m> any help please
[19:56] <Ankhwatcher> because this box is so busted I might give up and reinstall
[19:56] <BluesKaj> jag are you thinking it will run netflix?
[19:56] <jag> no actually i couldnt get it to work
[19:57] <TrevInc> http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/IgorThpeak
[19:57] <jag> i thknk there is a bug or something
[19:58] <eXoh> it's confusing coming from windows to linux, but i kinda like linux better.
[19:58] <KaiDOg> linux is more challenging in a lot of ways but that's what I like about it
[19:58] <eXoh> me too KaiDOg
[19:59] <mrdeb> KaiDOg: it is more customizable
[19:59] <brown_fern> KaiDOg: That sounds like good information, I'll have to try loading a few good third-party applications and see what happens, thank you.
[20:00] <jag> any good gmail notifier for ubuntu?
[20:00] <KaiDOg> absolutely mrdeb
[20:00] <eXoh> which dock to u guys use?
[20:00] <eXoh> i've tried to work with cairo-dock. no luck.
[20:01] <eXoh> i really haven't had the time to sit and just mess with it either.
[20:01] <jag> docky has some bugs
[20:01] <KaiDOg> brown - There's a lot of good stuff, just stick with trusted sources until you know what you're doing more.
[20:01] <kajakajo> questions about using scp... I am using a key, so when I ssh I have to use the -i option and list the path of the key. How do I use scp, then?
[20:01] <eXoh> i might just skip the dock then.
[20:02] <jag> exoh you can try avant
[20:03] <eXoh> jag u use avant?
[20:03] <jag> not right now
[20:03] <frostschutz> kajakajo: scp has the very same -i option
[20:05] <ray24> How do you keep icons from appearing larger on the desktop? (My icons includes a preview of what the file is)
[20:05] <brown_fern> eXoh: If you're new to Linux, and maybe I'm missing the point, you might want to try some of the admin guides at http://tldp.org/ or The Linux Documentation Project
[20:05] <kajakajo> frostschutz, but it doesn't work, even if it's trying to. I get "Permission denied (publickey) connection lost"
[20:05] <Logan_> !dock | eXoh
[20:06] <eXoh> ubottu, i've used cairo-dock
[20:06] <eXoh> lol
[20:06] <TrevInc> Yeah. So you can stop complaining about Unity now
[20:06] <TrevInc> don't want it on the left? FINE. use another one
[20:07] <eXoh> TrevInc, ....
[20:07] <james41855> When I switch to console I see the screen fill with "hub 2-0:1.0: unable to enumerate on USB device on port 5" one line per half second or so. Any idea why?
[20:08] <james41855> I just updated to ubuntu 11.02.  This issue didn't occur previously.
[20:08] <hittt> how can i redefine ulimit's hard limits?
[20:08] <hittt> sudo ulimit doesnt work - as expected
[20:08] <frostschutz> kajakajo: works fine for me, are you sure you're supplying it with the right file?
[20:11] <kajakajo> frostschutz, you mean the correct pem?
[20:12] <frostschutz> kajakajo: correct key, correct user on the remote side, and it should work. scp just uses ssh too...
[20:12] <kajakajo>  I'm trying this command: "   scp file-1.16.5.tar.gz -i /path/to.pem ubuntu@000.000.fak.eip:/var/www "
[20:12] <kajakajo>  And I get "Permission denied (publickey)"
[20:12] <kajakajo>  lost connection"
[20:13] <ikonia> kajakajo: key is wrong
[20:13] <dannyd> hi all, can someone please tell me a good site to watch the uefa finals on, i have a slow connection :(
[20:13] <ikonia> why are you using a pem file for an ssh key ?
[20:13] <ikonia> dannyd: sorry, that's nothing to do with ubuntu
[20:13] <kajakajo> ikonia, how so?
[20:13] <kajakajo> ikonia, because a pem file is my ssh key? Because that's what amazon web service gives, and as far as I know is standard?
[20:13] <frostschutz> kajakajo: the options need to come first, files last, so it must be scp -i ...
[20:14] <ikonia> kajakajo: first try to use -i as the first argument, and second, the error is clear "permission denied" that either means you don't have permission to read the key file, or the key is not authorized on the remote host
[20:14] <kajakajo> ikonia, the key works fine when I'm just using ssh, so I know that's not hte problem, the problem is how I'm calling it up. putting -i first, for isntance, which I'll try now.
[20:14] <kajakajo> thanks frostschutz, trying now.
[20:15] <frostschutz> kajakajo: also if that is your only key, you can make it the default key so you don't have to -i all the time
[20:15] <kajakajo> frostschutz, ok, now I get "file too large". Promising, but I think it's trying to use my file to be trasnfered as the key. Do I need to switch that order around?
[20:16] <kajakajo> frostschutz, how do I make it default key? that'd be super.
[20:16] <hittt> how can i redefine ulimit's hard limits? sudo ulimit doesnt work - as expected
[20:16] <ikonia> kajakajo: your ssh_config, put that as the key file
[20:16] <ikonia> hard limits?
[20:17] <hittt> yes
[20:17] <ikonia> what do you mean by hard limit ?
[20:17] <kajakajo> ikonia, where is that file located?
[20:17] <frostschutz> kajakajo: put it in your ~/.ssh dir, by default I guess one of ~/.ssh/identity ~/.ssh/id_rsa ~/.ssh/id_dsa
[20:17] <hittt> ill search in /etc/security/limits.conf
[20:17] <ikonia> kajakajo: /etc/ssh_config, or change the file to the already named files as frostschutz says
[20:18] <frostschutz> kajakajo: ~/.ssh/config for user specific configs (such as additional identitys). I only use one key, not sure if ssh can actually figure out byitself which key to use if you specify more than one
[20:18] <hittt> hmm, it exists, but everything is commented out
[20:24] <Furry> My microphone array seems to be disabled (ubuntu doesn't show that it's connected), but it was working a few days ago, and it works fine when I boot into windows. Normally, it doesn't work on windows, but works fine on Ubuntu. Any idea what's wrong?
[20:25] <Gskellig> so if i run ./etc/init.d/rc.local then it works, but how do i get rc.local to start on boot?
[20:25] <hittt> err
[20:25] <hittt> rc.local runs automatically anyway
[20:25] <Gskellig> it doesn't on boot
[20:25] <Gskellig> not for me
[20:25] <Gskellig> at least not /etc/init.d/rc.local
[20:25] <BorgTK2001> Run alsa-mixer at the terminal, furry and check the input settings are correct
[20:26] <hittt> try putting a `touch /testfile`
[20:26] <hittt> and reboot
[20:26] <Gskellig> 'touch /testfile' ?
[20:26] <hittt> yes
[20:26] <hittt> to be sure that it does NOT run
[20:26] <BorgTK2001> alsa-mixer should have been alsamixer, sorry, Furry
[20:26] <BluesKaj> Furry, alsamixer
[20:27] <hittt> err
[20:27] <hittt> /etc/rc.local that is
[20:27] <Gskellig> so i just put "touch /testfile" in rc.local?
[20:27] <jmcantrell> in natty, my wireless mouse is seriously laggy. anyone had this problem? :(
[20:27] <hittt> wait wait, what are you trying to do
[20:27] <Gskellig> a couple of things
[20:27] <hittt> are you placing an ELF on init.d ?
[20:28] <Gskellig> ELF
[20:28] <Gskellig> ?
[20:28] <hittt> executable
[20:28] <Gskellig> I Just want to run three terminal commands as root every time I boot
[20:28] <hittt> sudo nano /etc/rc.local
[20:28] <hittt> and append the three terminal commands
[20:28] <Gskellig> I did, and they don't run as boot
[20:29] <Gskellig> but if I type ./rc.local they run
[20:29] <hittt> are you 100% sure they do not encounter a problem?
[20:29] <Gskellig> how do I know?
[20:30] <Gskellig> I thought the fact that they run if I manually run ./rc.local
[20:30] <Usuario> I need URGETN help with this could not duplicate ICEauthority file /home/hihihi100/.ICEauthority, It happened after I changer, or tried to change, the username
[20:30] <Usuario> Urgent*
[20:30] <escott> Gskellig, maybe https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sysvinit/+bug/453473
[20:31] <Gskellig> /etc/rc2.d/ ?
[20:31] <Gskellig> one person told me to put rc.local in /etc/
[20:31] <Gskellig> another person told me to edit /etc/init.d/rc.local
[20:31] <Gskellig> so thats where they are right now
[20:31] <escott> Gskellig, rc.local should be correct, but there are some update-rc.d commands you can run which might fix the issue
[20:31] <darkorical> can someone tell me hte syntax to get a numerical value of the current device settings for amixer (get current volume level) returned as a smiple number
[20:32] <Gskellig> yeah i tried that it says The disable|enable API is not stable and might change in the future
[20:32] <Usuario> I cannot use ubuntu, the system loads, but then it will only show the .ICEAuthority file error, can I somehow access the terminal?
[20:32] <Furry> BorgTK2001, there's an option called "Mic", but it's turned all the way down
[20:32] <Fuchs> Usuario: CTRL+ALT+F1
[20:32] <Gskellig> usuario ctrl+alt+F1?
[20:32] <Gskellig> ctrl+alt+F7 to get back to x
[20:33] <Fuchs> Usuario: then check for permissions on that file, probably you messed them up by using sudo on a graphical programm
[20:33] <Usuario> will that work, evein wehn I load my machine? its before Im prompted to write a password
[20:33] <escott> darkorical, what number do you want, there are lots of mixers
[20:33] <Furry> Should I try turning it up?
[20:33] <escott> Usuario, it should it is unrelated to the GDM ice errors
[20:33] <Gskellig> escott: where should rc.local be? what directory?
[20:33] <Gskellig> I've been told three different things now
[20:33] <darkorical> I am trying to get the current volume level for the master control
[20:33] <Usuario> fuchs, boot menu?
[20:34] <Fuchs> Usuario: no, on the login screen
[20:34] <escott> Gskellig, mine is /etc/rc.local I don't have anything in it but since it is there I presume it should work for startup scripts
[20:34] <Usuario> fuchs, a, ok
[20:34] <Fuchs> Usuario: the file should be yours, use chown if that isn't the case
[20:34] <Gskellig> thanks
[20:34] <Gskellig> i have one in /etc/rc.local and /etc/init.d/rc.local
[20:34] <Fuchs> Usuario: chown yourusers:yourgroup file
[20:34] <BorgTK2001> Give it a shot, Furry :)
[20:35] <Usuario> fuchs, yes, it should be mine, but I tried to change my username, and thats when problems appeared
[20:35] <Furry> BorgTK2001, there's one labelled "Internal Mic" as well, should I try it as well?
[20:35] <escott> Gskellig, is the rc.local service enabled?
[20:35] <BorgTK2001> What mic do you use - one you plug in, or the inbuilt one?
[20:36] <Gskellig> how do i find out escott ?
[20:36] <Furry> the inbuilt
[20:36] <Furry> Nothing other mics are connected to my computer either
[20:36] <Furry> BorgTK2001, though, the last time I used Ubuntu I did end up using a USB mic
[20:36] <BorgTK2001> Is it a laptop?
[20:37] <Furry> yes
[20:37] <escott> Gskellig, service rc.local status
[20:37] <BorgTK2001> Then up the 'internal' mic setting :)
[20:38] <escott> Gskellig, although that won't say anything useful for a script that just starts a bunch of things in the background
[20:38] <Furry> Ok, I turned it up to full... do I need to close alsamixer for the changes to take effect?
[20:38] <BorgTK2001> This is the first easy step to fix, if this doesn't work though we have other steps to take :L)
[20:38] <BorgTK2001> Changes are instant - no need to close alsamixer
[20:38] <BorgTK2001> but if the terminal in in the way, close it :)
[20:39] <Furry> Didn't work
[20:39] <babalu> hello I need some help plz
[20:39] <Furry> Sound preferences isn't detecting it, nor is skype
[20:39] <babalu> Iam trying to install nvidia lastest drivers
[20:40] <kedmanee> babalu: JUS ASK
[20:40] <Gskellig> escott, failed to connect to xserver?
[20:40] <BluesKaj> Fuchs, what about renaming .ICEauthority in your home folder and reboot. After a successful login I found that a new .ICEauthority had been created.
[20:40] <babalu> but it s tell me that i need install it as rood
[20:40] <babalu> I am logged as root
[20:40] <BorgTK2001> In the hardware tab of sound preferences, is the hardware profile setup for 'duplex'
[20:41] <Furry> No
[20:41] <escott> Gskellig, that doesn't make much sense... what are the commands in your rc.local
[20:41] <Furry> Should I change it to that?
[20:41] <BorgTK2001> Change it to a 'analog duplex' option if you have that
[20:41] <chicognu> Ok, Can some one help me to configure my system ? i have that simple program: http://ideone.com/V6jEy that uses ncurses, it execute perfect on Linux Virtual Terminal Like in Control + Alt + F3 ... But dont work in xterm, RoxTerm, Terminal, or in any other terminal emulator. What should I do ?
[20:41] <Furry> Ah.
[20:41] <Fuchs> BluesKaj: that probably works as well, but is not easier than chown, both are just 1 command
[20:41] <Furry> BorgTK2001, that worked :) thanks
[20:42] <Usuario> I still cannot access the terminal, even using ctrl+alt+f1, please take a look at: http://paste.ubuntu.com/614286/
[20:42] <BorgTK2001> :) No troubles :)
[20:42] <Gskellig> synclient tapbutton3=3 and sudo modprobe nvidia_g210m_acpi
[20:42] <Gskellig> and synclient tapbutton2=2
[20:43] <BluesKaj> Furry, yeah I think chown is probly safer
[20:43] <Usuario> login screen options are disabled, I can only choose between different users, I cannot choose to open the terminal, or recovery mode
[20:43] <mochitto> hello, can somebody help me with installing mysql lib for php5? Im using mysql 5.5
[20:43] <Gskellig> it's actually "synclient TapButton3=3" and "synclient Tapbutton2=2"
[20:43] <Furry> BluesKaj, wah?
[20:43] <Gskellig> switches two tap and three tap with synaptics touchpad drivers
[20:43] <leena> hi
[20:43] <escott> Gskellig, thats the problem. synclient needs to be in your gnome-session not rc.local
[20:43] <BorgTK2001> Bluek meant Fuchs
[20:43] <kedmanee> babalu: F2 and "jockey-gtk"  - try this
[20:43] <Usuario> ICEauthority file error: I still cannot access the terminal, even using ctrl+alt+f1, please take a look at: http://paste.ubuntu.com/614286/
[20:43] <BluesKaj> Furry, sorry , that was meant for Fuchs
[20:43] <Furry> BluesKaj, no problem
[20:44] <bencc> why this works for a user and not for root? gconftool-2 -t int -s /apps/gedit-2/preferences/editor/tabs/tabs_size 4
[20:44] <Gskellig> gnome-session?
[20:44] <Gskellig> it works if I run ./rc.local as a script
[20:44] <bencc> Gskellig: ./rc.local?
[20:44] <escott> Gskellig, gnome-session-properties put the synclient command in there or put it in /etc/X11/something... but it can't be in rc.local because X isn't running yet
[20:46] <Gskellig> OH
[20:46] <Gskellig> rc.local runs BEFORE x is started?
[20:46] <Gskellig> well shoot.
[20:46] <rww> yup
[20:46] <Gskellig> okay
[20:46] <Gskellig> probably the same thing with the modprobe
[20:46] <Gskellig> because it turns off my graphics card =/
[20:46] <escott> Gskellig, the modprobe should be fine
[20:47] <Gskellig> oh
[20:47] <Gskellig> okay
[20:47] <darkorical> is there an amixer equivelant to "aumix -v q"
[20:48] <Gskellig> so where should I put it?
[20:48] <Usuario> my nautilus is also fkkked up
[20:48] <CyborgSmurf> Im having some real trouble with ubuntu 10.04
[20:48] <escott> darkorical, probably amixer get something, but i don't know what aumix -v q shows so i cant say
[20:48] <Gskellig> does everything in the /etc/X11/ directory run when X is started?
[20:48] <Gskellig> I can't just put it in there
[20:49] <Gskellig> can I?
[20:49] <escott> Gskellig, it would be tied to a particular Xsession most likely, the gnome-session-properties will start when you login
[20:49] <Gskellig> where is gnome-session-properties?
[20:49] <escott> Gskellig, see man Xsession. gnome-session-properties is the gui to access your personal gnome-session
[20:50] <Gskellig> oh yeah startup applications
[20:50] <Gskellig> those don't run as root though do they?
[20:50] <escott> Gskellig, no those run as the local user. if you need to run it as root its probably going to need to be in the Xsession
[20:50] <darkorical> aumix-v q returnes the current settings for the base volume
[20:51] <Gskellig> I'm not sure if they need to be run as root. the modprobe does for sure though
[20:51] <Donnie> hi has anyone experience with an actisys 220l+ dongle behind an ftdi-usb-serial-converter and a nokia 7250 connected via irda?
[20:51] <CyborgSmurf> My maximize, close and minimize buttons dosent show. I cant even see the bar where you can rightclick and (for example) choose option "Always on top"
[20:51] <Donnie> i m trying to connect it with xgnokii
[20:51] <Gskellig> if i want to run two commands its just synclient TapButton2=2 && synclient TapButton3=3 right?
[20:52] <escott> darkorical, amixer get Master
[20:52] <CyborgSmurf> Besides if I have 3 Firefox windows open and try to close just one, they all shuts down. And my cursor is an X all the time. It dosent kill anything though
[20:53] <uni4dfx> what happens if i reinstall ubuntu, but decide to keep my /home partition the same as it was before... with ecryptfs ?
[20:53] <Gskellig> does anybody know a command to turn off bluetooth by default on boot?
[20:53] <BorgTK2001> CyborgSmurf: You have the panel at the top of your screen?
[20:54] <CyborgSmurf> BorgTK2001: yeah Ive got it but not on windows
[20:54] <BorgTK2001> OKies, this may not work, but is the first easy step:
[20:55] <BorgTK2001> Goto: System->Appearance, and on the visual effects tab, change it to none [if it is not there already]
[20:56] <CyborgSmurf> BorgTK2001: btw, this happend while trying to solve the skype issue (which now for some reason I cant paste or type anything in the terminal)
[20:56] <babalu> #esp
[20:57] <BorgTK2001> When I loose my window borders in 10.04LTS, my issue on a specific computer is Compiz crashing
[20:57] <BorgTK2001> So I have to suffer with no wobbly windows ;)
[20:57] <intx> what's the code name for 10.04 lts
[20:57] <BorgTK2001> Lucid Lynx
[20:57] <intx> thanks
[20:58] <babalu> can anyone help me plz why while installing New Nvidia drivers asks me to installing as root and Iam logged as root plz??
[20:59] <waza-ari> hey all, is it possible to use the adobe reader as default pdf reader? (ubuntu 11.04)
[20:59] <CyborgSmurf> BorgTK2001: something happend while trying to enable effects... it couldnt be enabled but I got my cursor back...
[20:59] <Usuario> ICEauthority file related: I cannot access ubuntu, nor the livecd (9.10) will install itself (the screen will only show the splashscreen loading for an eternity). I need to access a terminal to try sudo chown john:john ~/.ICEauthority, but I dont see how: in the login screen, ctrl+alt+f1 does nothing, and I cannot access ubuntu in the safe mode, in user defined version, or the terminal, help please
[20:59] <BorgTK2001> Cyborg, now change that effects settings to 'none'
[21:00] <CyborgSmurf> BorgTK2001: its done
[21:00] <BorgTK2001> ie, CyborgSmurf , you want the effects disabled
[21:00] <BorgTK2001> Did the borders come back?
[21:00] <BorgTK2001> Glad your cursor came back ;)
[21:01] <escott> Usuario, you should be able to boot to single user mode
[21:01] <CyborgSmurf> BorgTK2001: everything seems to be back to normal
[21:01] <babalu> someone help me plz
[21:01] <BorgTK2001> CyborgSmurf: Then have no worries - that was a Compiz crash
[21:01] <escott> Usuario, try http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/grub-boot-into-single-user-mode/
[21:01] <Usuario> escott, with the livecd otr with my already present 11.04 installation?
[21:01] <CyborgSmurf> BorgTK2001: thank you so much
[21:02] <escott> Usuario, your installed version
[21:02] <BorgTK2001> No worries :)
[21:03] <BorgTK2001> CyborgSmurf: The more 'complicated' way to resolve that issue would have bee have you open up a terminal and run: metacity --replace
[21:03] <Usuario> escott, to access the grub loader, I have to press ctrl+alt+f1, isnt it?
[21:03] <BorgTK2001> But I just showed you the 'graphical' way ;)
[21:03] <viuda_negra> what this???
[21:03] <escott> Usuario, no during the boot when you get the grub menu use "e" to edit your boot options, and change the options to the kernel to be single
[21:04] <BorgTK2001> escott: I think you have to hold shift to enable that menu on 10.04LTS and above
[21:04] <CyborgSmurf> BorgTK2001: whats next step then?
[21:04] <babalu> why is asking me to be root when iam logged as root I'am trying to install new nvidia drivers on ubuntu 10.10 86
[21:04] <babalu> help plz
[21:04] <Usuario> escott, not sure what I did, I think I pressed ctrl+alt+f1 or f2, but I am now in the GNU GRUB loader, showing me 5 options: Ubuntu generic, Ubuntu generic recovery mode, previous linux versions and 2 memtests
[21:05] <BorgTK2001> OKies, CyborgSmurf let's see where we are up to: you have your cursor and borders back?
[21:05] <escott> Usuario, press "e"
[21:05] <CyborgSmurf> BorgTK2001: yes
[21:05] <CyborgSmurf> BorgTK2001: but what about the metacity --replace command?
[21:06] <Usuario> escott, I guess I have to press ctrl-c or f2 for a command line, right?
[21:06] <BorgTK2001> Ahhh, no worries about that command, CyborgSmurf - that command was the more 'complicated' solution
[21:06] <Usuario> escott, its what I read
[21:06] <escott> Usuario, it may depend on the version of grub. i'm not really sure
[21:06] <BorgTK2001> You already have done it using the 'graphical' way :)
[21:07] <Usuario> escott, can i disregard the information in the box? (recorfail, insmod...)
[21:07] <CyborgSmurf> BorgTK2001: oh, okay
[21:07] <escott> Usuario, the key one is the kernel line which says what version of the kernel
[21:07] <BorgTK2001> So, CyborgSmurf, you don't need to worry about that metacity command :)
[21:08] <BorgTK2001> Only trouble now, CyborgSmurf, is no visual wobbly effects - but that is something I live without on my computer too ;)
[21:08] <BorgTK2001> I have the same Compiz crashes, so I just don't/can't use Compiz or wobbly windows :)
[21:08] <Usuario> escott, ok, I pressed f2, it doesnt look like a regular terminal: no $ or #, just grub>
[21:09] <CyborgSmurf> BorgTK2001: okay... is that a compiz bug or something?
[21:09] <Donnie> thanks
[21:09] <escott> Usuario, actually the rescue mode should be the same
[21:09] <escott> Usuario, you shouldn't need to change anything in grub just boot the rescue mode
[21:10] <Usuario> escott, ok, im reading your link
[21:10] <BorgTK2001> It could be a Compiz thing, a specific application bug [Skype for example], a graphics driver bug, but all I know is on my computer Compiz works randomly for about a good hour, then crashes
[21:10] <escott> Usuario, it may be different for you if you have grub2
[21:10] <Usuario> escott, 1.99
[21:11] <BorgTK2001> So to blame it fully on Compiz may not be the right thing - but it is the easiest thing to get things working again by shutting off Compiz ;)
[21:11] <CyborgSmurf> BorgTK2001: I believe you are right. Ive read alot about crashes that has to do with compiz
[21:12] <BorgTK2001> As to stopping it from happening in the future, that part even I haven't solved on my end yet - but I really want to :)
[21:13] <CyborgSmurf> BorgTK2001: I guess machines crashes because human is not perfect ;)
[21:13] <BorgTK2001> Indeed ;)
[21:13] <iankp> I'm trying to get the workspace switcher from ubuntu 11.04 on Debian 6. What is the package name? Is it part of the package for the dock?
[21:14] <Zyler> Hey guys, somebody may can help me ? My system is crypted and i tryed to update my ubuntu, but it failed, now if i want to start and i enter my crypt password it not booting up, there is an message "Device / is not ready" if i skip that than the error "Device /tmp is not read or dont exist". Get no results by searching for my problem...
[21:14] <BorgTK2001> unity, iankp?
[21:15] <newbie|2> Hi there. Does somebody knows a method to install LUbuntu via Wubi? Maybe editing a config file?
[21:16] <escott> Zyler, was this truecrypt?
[21:16] <Usuario> escott, your link didnt work, but I tried the recovery mode and found a way to access the terminal
[21:16] <Zyler> ähm, no, installed that few month ago
[21:16] <Zyler> think its cryptsetup
[21:17] <Zyler> is that an tool for linix :-D
[21:17] <zarzar> anyone know how to fix this font issue? i tried changing the font hinting but firefox/chrome isn't picking up on the change. http://imgur.com/btJpJ
[21:18] <BorgTK2001> newbie|2: Unfortunatly there is no wubi solution yet for Lubuntu
[21:18] <escott> Zyler, so thats dm-crypt
[21:18] <BorgTK2001> So, not even a quick script fix will change that :(
[21:18] <newbie|2> oh well, thanks
[21:18] <BorgTK2001> BUT there are looking for a solution
[21:19] <Usuario> HELP, how do I type this character in a terminal? ~
[21:19] <Usuario> ~~~~
[21:19] <zarzar> Usuario: shift + the character left of the number 1
[21:19] <BorgTK2001> But looks like the Lubuntu devs didn't take wubi into consideration from the start [ wubi Is a strange solution in my opinion, but to each their own ;)]

[21:23] <BorgTK2001> Ahhh, OKies
[21:23] <BorgTK2001> Let me see if I can get a map of the spanish keyboard
[21:23] <Zyler> escott i only tryed the recovery kernel, and there is the same problem
[21:24] <BorgTK2001> Is it next to your right shift key?
[21:24] <escott> Zyler, following an update there should be a couple of options including kernel 2.6.38-8 and 2.6.38-7. the -7 was the old one which was replaced by the -8. try the -7
[21:25] <BorgTK2001> So 'shift+[button next to your right shift key]'
[21:25] <Zyler> okay i tried it an came back here in few minutes

[21:26] <Usuario> escott, sudo chown john:john /.ICEauthority ?
[21:26] <Dr_Willis> Usuario:  use the full path. not ~/ shortcutss

[21:33] <Gomaaz> I installed the ati driver but had no look at reboot...maybe  I installed the driver the wrong way
[21:33] <Usuario> escott, I appreciate your patience, but I cannot get it to work, its like parts of the system recognize my OLD username as the default, and other only recognize the NEW one, thing is, what I see now in the terminal is: root@hihihi100-laptop, thats the OLD username I want to get rid of, but then, I cd'ed to home dexter NEW username, no hihihi100 dir in sight
[21:33] <xen> 11.04 got better support for netbook drivers
[21:34] <treebeen> Usuario: hihihi100-laptop is not the username, but the hostname
[21:35] <LoiMussone> Hi, I nedd help with ubuntu 11.04

[21:37] <escott> Zyler, i dont have any experience with dm-crypt. i was thinking that the newer kernel may not have a suitable initrd but it sounds like the problem is something else
[21:37] <Zyler> thanky anywhere
[21:38] <Centallith> I've only used APT-on.
[21:38] <delinquentme> ubuntu command to get my subnet?
[21:38] <delinquentme> i thought it was something like 'iproute'
[21:38] <Usuario> escott, I have tried both sudo chown /home/dexter/.ICEauthority /home/dexter/.ICEauthority and udo chown /home/dexter/.ICEauthority /home/hihihi100/.ICEauthority . For both cases I get chown:invalid user: /home/dexter/.ICEauthority
[21:39] <agentgasmask> Hi all. I rebooted to find I have no panel in Ubuntu. Any help?
[21:39] <BorgTK2001> agentgasmask: Your version of Ubuntu?
[21:39] <escott> Usuario, chown username:groupname /path/to/file
[21:39] <MichaelTr> I've just installed subversion from repositories, is there like a command to find the script?
[21:40] <WeiKeWen|2> hey
[21:40] <MichaelTr> I have no idea where it has gone :S
[21:40] <LoiMussone> Since I updated from ubuntu 10.10 to 11.04 start-up my dual-boot ( ubuntu and windows 7) always put default Ubuntu and I want to have windows 7 like first boot option ever. The problem is I used to set it up with Star-Up Manager but now dosen't work anymore. Anybofy hepls me do change it  to Windows 7 ? Thanks.
[21:40] <Zyler> escott is there a way to mount the devices in windows to get my files ?
[21:40] <WeiKeWen|2> was wondering where to find many linux distros in one place
[21:40] <WeiKeWen|2> maybe torrent
[21:40] <escott> Zyler, i would try a livecd
[21:40] <BorgTK2001> agentgasmask: I have 10.04LTS - I'd like to help you
[21:40] <billy_> MichaelTr: locate maybe
[21:40] <BorgTK2001> agentgasmask: What version of Ubuntu are you running?
[21:40] <Centallith> If you have Compiz settings manager (CCSM) create a new folder, go to file system, travel to usr/share/applications/ccsm, and enable the Unity plugin. If not I have no idea what to tell you, agentgasmask
[21:40] <agentgasmask> BorgTK2001: 10.04LTS  Desktop
[21:41] <MichaelTr> billy cool that worked =D where do you learn about that?
[21:41] <LoiMussone> Hello ?
[21:41] <agentgasmask> Centallith: I'm running metacity
[21:41] <BorgTK2001> OKies, agentgasmask :) Now when you mean no panel, do you mean you can't run any programme from the top of your screen
[21:41] <eago> hi... my old geforce died and I replaced it with an ati and I'm having problems configuring it
[21:41] <Usuario> escott, for sudo chown dexter:dexter /home/dexter/.ICEauthority it "does nothing" (I mean, there is no way for me to corroborate if it has done anything at all), how can I do that?
[21:41] <BorgTK2001> Or do you mean you have lost your borders to the windows
[21:41] <eago> I removed all nvidia stuff but can;t find ati drivers that work
[21:41] <escott> Usuario, ls -l /path/to/file
[21:42] <Usuario> escott, have I just created the ICEauthority file in that dir?
[21:42] <Centallith> Oh, then I don't know what to tell you. If all else fails use a program that mimics the panels.
[21:42] <tusher> I tried to install ubuntu 11.04 in my acer extensa 5630 laptop, but I failed, can anybody help me?
[21:42] <Centallith> tusher, what exactly went wrong?
[21:42] <agentgasmask> BorgTK2001: There are no panels on the top or bottom of my screen, but open windows act like they are there. (they give the space for them, but it is just my background image.)
[21:42] <Usuario> escott, there are way too much files in that dir, I can only see the 24 last ones
[21:43] <zetu> hi evrybody
[21:43] <agentgasmask> BorgTK2001: I have access to terminal, nautilus, and firefox (all from keyboard shortcuts :) )
[21:43] <BorgTK2001> Can your Ctrl-Alt-Backspace out and goto the login screen - and check your environment at the bottom is 'GNOME' or 'GNOME failsafe'
[21:43] <BorgTK2001> OH, excellent - do you know the metacity --replace command in terminal?
[21:43] <agentgasmask> I guess, Should I try the 'failsafe' one?
[21:44] <amalloy> how do i set file associations, or preferred programs or something? i've set EDITOR to "emacs -nw" in my .bashrc, but of course that doesn't affect gnome/x settings. can i make it so that when i double-click a text file it opens emacs instead of gedit?
[21:44] <Usuario> to everybody: how can I check if a given file is present in a dir? ONLY from the terminal?
[21:44] <agentgasmask> BorgTK2001: yes, but I beleave I'm already running metacity. can we varifiy that?
[21:44] <tusher> cental, during installation after completing about 75% file copying it stops file copying, and said to change the disk, I did that but fruitless
[21:44] <billy_> Usuario: stat
[21:44] <Centallith> amalloy, just right click it and click the "Open with" option. Use a custom command.
[21:45] <mkanyicy> Usuario: 'ls'
[21:45] <Centallith> If I am planning to use Playonlinux to play World of Warcraft (Which I already have on my computer) how can I tell it I have it, rather than have it install the disks?
[21:45] <wangmd21_> Do you know "Linux Deepin"?
[21:46] <mkanyicy> !who | wangmd21_
[21:46] <amalloy> Centallith: ah, thanks
[21:46] <Osmodivs> !sabayon
[21:46] <billy_> Usuario: you could use test too with -e
[21:47]  * Osmodivs thinks ubottu is dumb
[21:47] <Usuario> billy_ escott, I have tried to find the ICEauthority file in /home/dexter/, but it is not there
[21:47] <amalloy> Centallith: argh. even if i check the box to "Remember this application", it still opens with gedit next time
[21:47] <bencc> anyone have experience with a caching server for apt? apt-cache-ng or apt-proxy
[21:48] <Centallith> amalloy: Then I don't know what you should do.
[21:48] <wangmd21_> Only recently discovered a derivative version of Ubuntu
[21:49] <escott> Usuario, lots of things have to be changed for a username switch like this. i don't even know where to begin with things. its usually better to just create a new user and then chown the files to that user'
[21:49] <anonymous000011> Hello,i need help Ubuntu 11.04 how to shutdown program with terminal what command?
[21:49] <escott> anonymous000011, killall program-name

[21:50] <billy_> anonymous000011: pgrep vpnc
[21:50] <billy_> anonymous000011: kill -9 pid
[21:50] <escott> anonymous000011, if it is a service you could service vpnc stop
[21:50] <anonymous000011> so what command i need write to terminal?
[21:50] <guntbert> billy_: he will possibly need sudo
[21:51] <Usuario> escott, can I create a new ICEauthority file?
[21:51] <wessel> I wish to listen to a pdf while reading it (text to speech), I did find some text2speech applications: espeak, festival, but do these have a GUI to select text in a pdf and convert it to speech?
[21:52] <Usuario> escott, what if I repair broken packages?
[21:53] <escott> Usuario, i'm afraid i dont know the answers to those questions
[21:53] <Usuario> escott, many thanks anyways
[21:54] <delinquentme> is there something simple you can SSH to?
[21:54] <guntbert> anonymous000011: did you try: killall vpnc  ?
[21:55] <Refael> does anybody comprehend anything about programming daemons processes?
[21:55] <BluesKaj> Usuario,, what about renaming .ICEauthority in your home folder and reboot. After a successful login I found that a new .ICEauthority had been created.
[21:55] <guntbert> !who | delinquentme
[21:55] <LoiMussone> FUUUUUU I need HElp

[21:56] <gregd> hey everyone,  if I ssh into my ubuntu computer, do you know how I specify the display as being on the ubuntu computer (that I am ssh'ing into) --display=???
[21:56] <billy_> anonymous000011: you might need to sudo
[21:57] <jetrost> liomussone: i'm no expert, but i think you might have to edit your grub file or boot order file
[21:57] <BorgTK2001> And what are you dual booting with?
[21:57] <Usuario> blueskaj, the whole line says "could not duplicate ICEauthority file /home/hihihi100/.ICEauthority", hihihi100 is my old username, but that directory no longer exists, it has been renamed dexter, my new username, anyway, how do I rename that file I cannot find from the terminal accesed from GRUB?
[21:58] <guntbert> delinquentme: (I saw only one sentence from you) - what is an "aws ssh connection"?
[21:58] <bencc> how do I use "su -" ?
[21:58] <LoiMussone> yes I know but I'm a ubuntu user only since less a month
[21:58] <billy_> bencc: sudo su -
[21:58] <guntbert> bencc: you don't
[21:58] <delinquentme> guntbert, amazon web services shh connection
[21:58] <BorgTK2001> Are you dual booting windows and ubuntu, LoiMussone ?
[21:58] <bencc> guntbert: why?
[21:58] <guntbert> billy_: no, don't suggest that
[21:58] <guntbert> !sudo | bencc
[21:58] <bencc> billy_: I want to run gcoonftool-2 as a different user
[21:59] <LoiMussone> BorgTK2001: yes
[21:59] <guntbert> bencc: you run sudo -u <username> <command>
[21:59] <Usuario> how can I ls -l showing 20 lines for every pressing of the return key?
[22:00] <BorgTK2001> And, LoiMussone, do you have one harddrive in your computer or more than 1?
[22:00] <LoiMussone> anbd when I choose windows at the restart never gets right and ubuntu runs
[22:00] <abhinavmehta> guys...silly and stupid question...but would someone like to answer this: what do you mean by "bots" ?
[22:00] <LoiMussone> only one
[22:00] <guntbert> delinquentme: ahh - is the host pingable at all?
[22:00] <LoiMussone> with partition made with ubuntu disk
[22:00] <BorgTK2001> OKies, and in ubuntu you can see all your windows files?
[22:00] <guntbert> abhinavmehta: like "robot"  - talking automats
[22:01] <delinquentme> guntbert, is that just " ping server.ip.address.ya"
[22:01] <lloowen> Hello all! I need to disable my grub boot menu so that my Ubuntu/server boots up without me having to use a keyboard to press the enter key.
[22:01] <escott> bencc, or su if you know the other users password
[22:01] <guntbert> delinquentme: yes
[22:01] <escott> lloowen, see /etc/default/grub
[22:01] <delinquentme> guntbert, wtf nah its not .. but aws console says its up and running
[22:01] <BluesKaj> Usuario, good point :P
[22:02] <guntbert> !language | delinquentme
[22:02] <LoiMussone> BorgTK2001:  only one with partition and swg for linux
[22:02] <bencc> escott: how do I use su for it?
[22:02] <lloowen> escott: I've just been there. Not sure what I'm supposed to do there.
[22:02] <sfdsafdsafdsa> hi i am trying to move a firmware file to /usr/share/sane/gt68xx but it doesent allow me why?
[22:02] <guntbert> delinquentme: did you enable a firewall?
[22:02] <ilj4z1> barcelona!
[22:02] <yassine_hell> hey , i wana change my grub order , but i cant find the "grub.conf" in /boot/grub
[22:03] <coilbucker> What does it mean when the installer keeps putting up no|invalid EDID? I am running an lcd tv through hdmi.
[22:03] <LoiMussone> yes either I get troubles autostarting a file when is in the other patition
[22:03] <guntbert> yassine_hell: what version of grub? 1 or 2?
[22:03] <abhinavmehta> guntbert: I also gathered same info by googling but while I was on some other room in freenode, I found someone was answering so intuitively and fast, and at last someone said that he was a bot....so I don't understand, how a robot/bot can reply or exactly can understand you question so nicely.....sorry for writing ti so long.
[22:03] <BorgTK2001> Thanks, LoiMussone :) Now, just to confirm you have the option to start windows when you reboot, but it just doesn't want to load windows?
[22:03] <yassine_hell> guntbert 2
[22:03] <escott> bencc, su username [enter] enter that users password then you will have a console for them. the other difficulty you may have is related to that user not having access to your xauthority so they can't run gui apps in your session
[22:04] <LoiMussone> BorgTK2001:  yes sir
[22:04] <delinquentme> guntbert, seriously was that necessary
[22:04] <delinquentme> guntbert, i dont think so man.
[22:04] <escott> lloowen, i think you can shorten the timeout, and then run grub-mkconfig
[22:04] <bencc> escott:  ok thanks
[22:04] <Refael> and rather can anybody help por favor?
[22:04] <guntbert> delinquentme: seriously, yes, even obfiscated swearing is considered forbidden here
[22:04] <yassine_hell> guntbert so?
[22:04] <BlouBlou> Refael: what's up?
[22:04] <sfdsafdsafdsa> hi i am trying to move a firmware file to /usr/share/sane/gt68xx but it doesent allow me why?
[22:05] <delinquentme> guntbert, seriously. no.
[22:05] <escott> coilbucker, it cant figure out your monitors allowed refresh rate/resolution
[22:05] <cirwin> sfdsafdsafdsa: you don't have enough permissions — you'll probably have to use sudo, but be careful!
[22:05] <annone> hi all! who can help me?
[22:05] <LoiMussone> BorgTK2001:  yes but I can restart and get windoews in the screen yo can select it but I want to be automaticly
[22:05] <yassine_hell> annone pretty much anyone who can
[22:05] <coilbucker> It looks fine, is this something to worry about?
[22:05] <Refael> BlouBlou: am looking to discover documentation on daemon processes and programming such to be converted to a different lingua
[22:05] <guntbert> yassine_hell: its grub.cfg    - in the future use <tab> for autocompletion
[22:05] <BorgTK2001> yassine_hell: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/05/super-boot-manager-eases-burg-grub-plymouth-tweaking-pains/
[22:06] <sfdsafdsafdsa> cirwin how do i use sudo to drag the file to that folder? lol
[22:06] <cirwin> sfdsafdsafdsa: start up a terminal :)
[22:06] <cirwin> then "sudo mv /where/the/file/is/now /where/you/want/to/put/it/"
[22:06] <WeiKeWen> hey wondering wherer i might find some linux distros
[22:06] <billy_> sfdsafdsafdsa: gksudo nautilus
[22:06] <guntbert> yassine_hell: and please be patient
[22:06] <cirwin> WeiKeWen: the internet? :p
[22:06] <WeiKeWen> on torrent, all sorts of different kinds, i'm using virtual box
[22:06] <sfdsafdsafdsa> cirwin should i write only sudo? and it will allow me after?
[22:06] <LoiMussone> and if you try to change boot aoption from windows only its get showed
[22:06] <BorgTK2001> OKies, LoiMussone, this looks like an issue that is 'beyon' me :(
[22:06] <yassine_hell> 0.o ok ..
[22:06] <sfdsafdsafdsa> billy_ whats that
[22:07] <cirwin> sfdsafdsafdsa: you put sudo at the start of the line
[22:07] <cirwin> and it only allows you to do one thing at a time
[22:07] <BorgTK2001> Oh, LoiMussone: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/05/super-boot-manager-eases-burg-grub-plymouth-tweaking-pains/ <-- may help you too
[22:07] <abhinavmehta> guntbert: any thoughts..?
[22:07] <cirwin> if you want to run everything as sudo
[22:07] <cirwin> do sudo su
[22:07] <annone> i can't select bitween Debian and Ubuntu for server
[22:07] <cirwin> and then you can always have permission — but it's dangerous
[22:07] <LoiMussone> BorgTK2001: thank for your time
[22:07] <BorgTK2001> You could use that, LoiMussone, to get the settings of grub when it chooses to run windows
[22:07] <yassine_hell> guntbert : root@bt:/boot/grub# ls

[22:08] <BorgTK2001> yassine_hell: Are you having grub issues?
[22:08] <yassine_hell> nope
[22:08] <yassine_hell> i want to change the grub order
[22:09] <BorgTK2001> That link I gave - check it out, it may be a graphical way of doing what you want
[22:09] <guntbert> abhinavmehta: not in this channel - if you want to discuss bots please visit #ubuntu-offtopic
[22:09] <yassine_hell> oki
[22:09] <BorgTK2001> instead of a terminal gedit way
[22:09] <yassine_hell> but here is what i got in the /boot/grub
[22:09] <ActionParsnip> yassine_hell: the numbers of the files in /etc/grub.d  determine the order, if you shuffle them around you will change the order, you will need to run: sudo update-grub to apply the new setting
[22:09] <yassine_hell> http://paste.ubuntu.com/614314/
[22:09] <abhinavmehta> guntbert: k thank you
[22:09] <billy_> sfdsafdsafdsa: no problem
[22:10] <guntbert> yassine_hell: that looks very much like grub1 - so edit menu.lst

[22:10] <LoiMussone> THANKS A LOT THAT WAS VERY ANNOYING
[22:11] <rosco_y> Is it better to install ubuntu 11.4 from the CD version, or the DVD version?
[22:11] <annone> what u advise to me for servers? debian or ubuntu? and why?
[22:12] <rosco_y> annone: I've been under the impression that debian is generally preferred for servers, because they pay more attention to keeping their system stable
[22:12] <annone> i'm from Ukraine and sorry for my english
[22:12] <yassine_hell> what s "chainloader	+1"
[22:13] <coilbucker> I think it tells grub to load another bootloader.
[22:13] <rosco_y> they are said to be more careful about putting upgrades into their system--they test things more thoroughly.
[22:13] <suzano> Anyone exp with Virtual box running BackTrack
[22:13] <coilbucker> Backtrack has its own channel.
[22:14] <rosco_y> Ubuntu, on the other hand, is a bit more of a Desktop in that it offers new software to users when they are "reasonably" stable
[22:14] <rosco_y> I've never actually used debian, but that is what I've "heard"
[22:14] <suzano> Where is the back track channel
[22:15] <annone> rosco_y, ok. 10x for u
[22:16] <Gskellig> escott, everything works now, thanks.
[22:16] <Gskellig> now i just need to find out how to disable bluetooth on boot
[22:16] <rosco_y> yw
[22:16] <Gskellig> shouldnt be too hard
[22:16] <Fudge> anyone know how to restore the speaker beep in a console
[22:16] <Fudge> apposed to screen flash
[22:16] <BorgTK2001> Fudge - sounds like an 'accessibility' option
[22:17] <Fudge> suzano  there is also an alternative matriux
[22:17] <rosco_y> Does anyone recommend installing ubuntu from the DVD version or the CD version, or is the DVD exactly the same with extra softare?
[22:17] <guntbert> !backtrack | suzano
[22:17] <Fudge> BorgTK2001  yeah prob but not sure where to configure for the console
[22:17] <m1dn1ght_> rosco_y: If you've got a decent internet connection, you can just download the packages contained on the DVD as needed
[22:17] <teage> suzano or backbox linux is good too
[22:17] <m1dn1ght_> rosco_y: to save you downloading the whole dvd
[22:17] <BluesKaj> Usuario, sudo chown gdm:gdm /var/lib/gdm/ICEauthoriy
[22:17] <WeiKeWen> sweet
[22:18] <coilbucker> During the install, it kept probing my monitor and getting no|invalid EDID, is it dangerous to my lcd to run ubuntu without an edid?
[22:18] <rosco_y> m1dn1ght_: thank you, that's what I was thinking too....
[22:18] <m1dn1ght_> rosco_y: np :)
[22:18] <annone> who used Ubuntu Server?
[22:19] <rosco_y> coilbucker: what is an edid?
[22:19] <suzano> Thanks
[22:19] <coilbucker> I think it's the signal that a monitor sends to inform a computer about itself.
[22:19] <Usuario> blueskaj, is gdm the username I have to change?
[22:19] <m1dn1ght_> annone: probably lots of ppl in #ubuntu-server
[22:19] <coilbucker> I just have an lcdtv, so I don't think it sends one.
[22:19] <annone> 10x m1dn1ght_,
[22:20] <BluesKaj> the dvd rosco_y , is for ppl who have an interent connected pc to download and burn to install on a ps with no internet connection ...the dvd contains most of the available apps on the repos

[22:23] <Centallith> I've been looking at a SATA internal harddrive. Would this work like a hard drive that comes by default with Dell computers? I'm a computer noob looking for a canvas hard drive for experimentation.
[22:23] <uRock> !russian
[22:23] <ActionParsnip> Centallith: it may need formatting but it will work like any other drive
[22:24] <Centallith> Would the formatting be a simple procedure?
[22:24] <Fudge> anyone know how to get wine to run in a console
[22:24] <ActionParsnip> Centallith: you can do it in gparted
[22:25] <ActionParsnip> Fudge: you can run wine apps from console, if that's what you mean?
[22:26] <Fudge> ActionParsnip  yesi do, not gnome-terminal though a console?
[22:26] <Fudge> app tried to create a window but no driver was loaded
[22:26] <ActionParsnip> Fudge: how do you mean 'console' then?
[22:27] <puff> I'm installing a brand new thinkpad t520.  Somebody suggested I look into uefi, and the t520 does indeed support uefi.  However,  I can't find any info on how to setup uefi with ubuntu.  Anybody know how to do this or where to find the instructions?
[22:28] <russjr08> Hey guys, I have a problem. I just bought a SanDisk Ultra Backup flashdrive, and when I plug it in, it doesn't automount. All of my other flashdrives do and this flashdrive automounts in Windows, can someone tell me if it's possible to fix
[22:29] <ActionParsnip> russjr08: immediately after inserting it, run:  dmesg | tail   it may give clues
[22:29] <russjr08> ok
[22:29] <MichaelTr> I'm starting a website, there's only two developers, we're looking for a project management tool for ubuntu, anyone know of any?
[22:29] <russjr08> Do you want me to pastebin the output?
[22:29] <ActionParsnip> russjr08: is the drive partitioned?
[22:29] <ActionParsnip> russjr08: sure
[22:29] <puff> russjr08: Might be easier to do "dmesg | tail" first, then watch that window while you plug itin.
[22:29] <russjr08> ActionParsnip, it came formatted as FAT32, I just formatted it as NTFS
[22:29] <Fudge> ActionParsnip  tty4, a console
[22:30] <puff> MichaelTr: What kind of development? What kind of project management?
[22:30] <ActionParsnip> russjr08: yeah fat32 isn't very robust. Did you safetly remove the device when you last unplugged the device?
[22:30] <ActionParsnip> Fudge: I see, is the app installed on a remote system?
[22:30] <russjr08> ActionParsnip, yup
[22:30] <MichaelTr> puff, development of a website with Zend Framework (php/mysql)
[22:30] <ActionParsnip> russjr08: good, that cures a billion issues.
[22:30] <puff> MichaelTr: Ah, php.  Well, you might be better off asking in a programming channel.
[22:31] <Fudge> no ActionParsnip  its local
[22:31] <delinquentme> does using "chmod 400 keyfile.pen" actually change the keypair file from a publickey to a private?
[22:31] <annone> who can help me?
[22:31] <annone> because #ubuntu-server maybe sleep
[22:32] <puff> MichaelTr: Project management is a complex topic, so you really might want to figure out what problem you're hoping to solve with a project management tool.
[22:32] <puff> MichaelTr: Basecamp and the like might be your best bet, for simple task tracking.

[22:50] <deltik> BorgTK2001: Ubuntu 11.04 is not compatible with older kernels.
[22:51] <BorgTK2001> Correct, deltik - it could all be Linus' fault, not Mark's
[22:51] <wessel> deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/rainct/voice/ubuntu maverick main   <-- I should replace maverick right?
[22:51] <ActionParsnip> wessel: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rainct/voice; sudo apt-get update
[22:51] <ActionParsnip> wessel: then run: sudo apt-get -y install espeak-gui
[22:52] <ActionParsnip> wessel: no, that is the hard way
[22:52] <deltik> BorgTK2001: Well, if it's an incompatibility problem from Ubuntu 10.10 to Ubuntu 11.04, it was definitely caused by Ubuntu development.
[22:52] <lloowen> Hello all. My lap top used to automatically boot to the desktop. Now all of a sudden I get a grub boot menu. I've tried changing the settings in /etc/default/grub but nothing I do there seems to restore what I had previously. i.e. no grub menu

[22:52] <deltik> BorgTK2001: How is my assumption incorrect?
[22:52] <BorgTK2001> Ubuntu development *could* be the cause, but is not definitly the cause

[22:53] <lloowen> sudokill: Yes but I have to manually select on the grub boot menu.
[22:53] <Vonhinten> There definitely seems to be a lot of complaints of regression for 11.04.. I'm new to linux/Ubuntu so maybe that happens every release
[22:53] <deltik> BorgTK2001: The older kernel became incompatible from Maverick to Natty. It was Ubuntu development.
[22:54] <sudokill> lloowen, if it's just 1 kernel u bootinto then change the timeout to 0 in grubs menu.lst
[22:54] <deltik> Vonhinten: It happened for Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala
[22:54] <bencc> why "apt-get source squid-deb-proxy" and "apt-get source squid-deb-proxy-client" gives me the same thing?
[22:54] <deltik> sudokill: menu.lst is no longer used in Grub2

[22:56] <sudokill> deltik, u can still change timeout to 0 from config tho right? idk i use grub 2 but i imagine u can...
[22:56] <ActionParsnip> deltik: it solves the shortcomings of the legacy version though. Once its setup you don't have to mess with it
[22:56] <sudokill> deltik, i use grub 1 i mean

[22:59] <BorgTK2001> No deltik, I would suggest going back one more step to 10.04LTS - LTS for a reason
[23:00] <ActionParsnip> deltik: you will need to clean install if you do
[23:00] <deltik> BorgTK2001: Why the LTS?
[23:00] <deltik> ActionParsnip: I have my backups made.
[23:00] <BorgTK2001> Long Term Support
[23:00] <sudokill> 10.10 is fine
[23:00] <sudokill> as stable as lts
[23:00] <sudokill> for most ppl
[23:00] <ActionParsnip> deltik: if you unininstall then reinstall the ati driver, is it better
[23:00] <BorgTK2001> I only ever use LTS releases and 12.04 will be my next upgrade
[23:01] <ActionParsnip> deltik: have you tried a clean install of natty, clean install gives far fewer issues
[23:01] <deltik> BorgTK2001: I know what LTS is, but 10.10 worked just fine for me
[23:01] <ThisDB> is there a way for me to update grub while running my main install of ubuntu??
[23:01] <ThisDB> i've attached some drives that have oses on them and want thm added to the menu
[23:01] <sudokill> update grub
[23:01] <tensorpudding> if you install 10.10 instead though you have no upgrade path that skips 11.04
[23:01] <deltik> ActionParsnip: It was a clean install, and ubiquity reinstalled the packages for me
[23:01] <deltik> ActionParsnip: The packages I had before, that is.
[23:01] <sudokill> tensor, just elect lts in update manager
[23:01] <ThisDB> sudokill, in a terminal?
[23:02] <ThisDB> update: command not found
[23:02] <sudokill> sudo update grub
[23:02] <sudokill> or sudo update-grub
[23:02] <trism> bencc: it isn't broken, it builds correctly, that just says that files installed into /etc/apt/apt.conf.d by the Makefile should be part of the squid-deb-proxy-client package
[23:02] <ThisDB> ah
[23:02] <ThisDB> its doing something
[23:02] <george__> so no one knows how to show russian characters in terminal?
[23:02] <deltik> ActionParsnip: So it's the driver that's in question?
[23:02] <ThisDB> yay, it found windows. thanks
[23:02] <sudokill> gg
[23:02] <bencc> trism: when installing a package I'm still getting it from ubuntu.com instead of the proxy
[23:02] <BorgTK2001> I would say so, deltik - something AMD has done, not Shuttleworth
[23:03] <ActionParsnip> deltik: i'd say so, proprietary drivers rarely survive changing release
[23:03] <KaiDOg> How do I handle asian characters on the command line?
[23:04] <deltik> ActionParsnip: It's the same driver... I don't see why a problem would be caused.
[23:04] <KaiDOg> I have two files I want to manipulate but they have asian characters
[23:04] <deltik> ActionParsnip: And the driver was reinstalled after the upgrade.
[23:04] <sudokill> deltik, lots of ppl have problems with drivers after upgrading
[23:04] <sudokill> i did ages ago with nvdia
[23:04] <sudokill> ati actually
[23:04] <sudokill> lol
[23:05] <BorgTK2001> now AMD, sudokill ;)
[23:05] <deltik> sudokill: Alright... how would you explain for the increased startup time, decreased performance, and slower software?
[23:05] <v4nelle> guys why i have these green lines on my ubuntu last week? http://imagebin.org/155675
[23:05] <BorgTK2001> deltik: the kernel
[23:05] <BorgTK2001> http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=ubuntu_natty_boot&num=1
[23:05] <sudokill> deltik, what going from 10.10 to 11.04?
[23:06] <deltik> sudokill: That's right
[23:06] <sudokill> idk
[23:06] <trism> bencc: I've never used the package and I don't know what you're trying to do
[23:06] <sudokill> i found 11.04 slower as well
[23:06] <sudokill> even though the 2.6.38 is faster
[23:06] <sudokill> than 2.6.36
[23:06] <bencc> trism: ok. thanks for your help.
[23:06] <guntbert> !enter | sudokill (and please keep to support :-))
[23:07] <sudokill> soz
[23:07] <deltik> Looks like I'm going to do the downgrade today.
[23:07] <bencc> trism: it allow you to set a deb packages cache server using squid
[23:07] <sudokill> reinstall u cant downgrade
[23:07] <sudokill> unless thats what u meant
[23:07] <bencc> trism: if you have several machines on the same local network it is very useful
[23:07] <deltik> sudokill: Well, yeah
[23:07] <sudokill> i found 10.10 fine
[23:07] <Usuario> im in the recovery mode terminal as hihihi100@hihihi100-laptop/$, how do I get into the GUI? I mean a normal ubuntu boot
[23:07] <sudokill> there really is no need for 11.04
[23:07] <suzano> jkb
[23:08] <ActionParsnip> deltik: even if its the same driver the OS has to recreate the kernel module to make it run under the new kernel
[23:08] <ActionParsnip> deltik: this rarely goes well during the upgrade phase so removing it, then reinstalling it under the new branch of the kernel can help graetly
[23:08] <druciferre> This is killing me, I need a command line way to add an emblem to a file in Ubuntu 10.10... Does anyone know where the information is stored of if there is a command line program that can do it ?
[23:08] <peto_> how could one make the screensaver to turn off the screen completely (with no backlights)?
[23:09] <sudokill> power toptions turn off monitor after x time i think
[23:09] <deltik> ActionParsnip: I used ubiquity to do the upgrade, which removed Ubuntu 10.10, installed a fresh copy, then restored most of my packages.
[23:09] <peto_> sudokill,   let me see
[23:09] <v4nelle> i see this on my dmesg http://pastebin.ca/2071373
[23:09] <v4nelle> any hel?
[23:09] <v4nelle> help
[23:09] <Kevin`_> how do I rebuild packaged nvidia drivers fort the current kernel?
[23:09] <KaiDOg> My graphics card driver hasn't given me much trouble during upgrades
[23:10] <tyler> hello
[23:10] <sudokill> hi
[23:10] <ActionParsnip> deltik: thats all I know, persoanlly I never upgrade and always clean install. It gives way fewer headaches
[23:10] <tyler> is there a reason why my cam stopped working?
[23:10] <sudokill> ActionParsnip, thats why I love arch
[23:10] <ActionParsnip> Kevin`_: sudo apt-get --reinstall instal dkms    may help
[23:10] <Guest27463> is there a reason why my cam stopped working?
[23:10] <sudokill> never reinstalled
[23:10] <ActionParsnip> sudokill: same here with xpud :)
[23:11] <Kevin`_> ActionParsnip: that's rather nasty
[23:11] <deltik> ActionParsnip: The last problem before this one I had with Ubuntu was 9.10. I stayed at Ubuntu 9.04, but here, this is Unity I will be missing if I downgrade.
[23:11] <Kevin`_> ActionParsnip: nope, didn't trigger it to run
[23:11] <Guest27463> i upgrases the new ubuntu and now my cam wont work
[23:11] <sudokill> deltik, missing?
[23:11] <sudokill> you mean theres someone who will *miss* unity?
[23:12] <ActionParsnip> Kevin`_: why is it nasty?
[23:12] <deltik> sudokill: Well, I like Unity.
[23:12] <peto_> sudokill, it was there, i'm a little bit silly (-:
[23:12] <BorgTK2001> sudokill: I love Unity
[23:12] <sudokill> aw
[23:12] <Kevin`_> ActionParsnip: because there is no need to reinstall it? also it might remove configuration or something
[23:12] <sudokill> peto dw bout it theres loads of option screens
[23:12] <Guest27463> my flash plugin will not support my cam for some bizzare reason help me please?
[23:12] <BorgTK2001> I can't use Unity on 10.04LTS, but I love Unity non the less
[23:12] <sudokill> BorgTK2001, i tried it for a tiny but ages ago
[23:12] <sudokill> I'm liking gnome shell atm
[23:12] <deltik> sudokill: It's a new interface, but I got used to it fairly quickly
[23:12] <sudokill> no one really likes that either
[23:12] <ActionParsnip> Kevin`_: it will force it to recreate the kernel modules, its just an easy way to make it happen. What config files wil be removed exactly?
[23:13] <Kevin`_> ActionParsnip: I don't care, it didn't work, how do you actually run it?
[23:13] <BorgTK2001> Oh, I have heaps of hatin on GnomeShell
[23:13] <astley> i'm having a a problem doing a make or a make install for the driver of my wireless card which is a Ralink5390, I've followed the online tutorials but i don't know how to edit the config, i'm totally new to this, thanks
[23:13] <sudokill> deltik, yea when i first tried gnome shell i thought it was bad and slow but looked good so i kept it and ended up loving it
[23:14] <sudokill> BorgTK2001, why?
[23:14] <deltik> Alright... so... I guess I'll be crossing my fingers for Oneiric Ocelot. :|
[23:14] <BorgTK2001> Because it is just Unity is disguise - the GNOME community shunning the Canonical stuff, then implementing it and claiming it was always going to be a part of GS...
[23:14] <sudokill> to me, gnome shell with default theme is best looking de by far but its preference i know
[23:15] <BorgTK2001> deltik, wait for 12.04LTS PP [persevering penguin?]
[23:15] <josemi_> Buenas noches a todos
[23:16] <deltik> BorgTK2001: I'm considering that too.
[23:16] <datguy> hello folks
[23:16] <sudokill> hi
[23:16] <deltik> BorgTK2001: The Ubuntu LTS releases have been amazing.
[23:17] <datguy> what versions is everyone using?
[23:17] <ActionParsnip> Kevin`_: run what?
[23:17] <ActionParsnip> datguy: of what?
[23:17] <BorgTK2001> deltik: I concur about the state of LTS - I insist on only using the LTS for my personal use. But that is just a personal preference
[23:17] <sudokill> ubuntu i suppsoe
[23:17] <datguy> of linux?
[23:17] <PHC4955>  Ubuntu 9.04
[23:17] <PHC4955>                 - the Jaunty Jackalope - released in April 2009.
[23:17] <PHC4955>
[23:17] <guntbert> !ot | datguy
[23:17] <BorgTK2001> <-- 10.04.2LTS datguy
[23:18] <Kevin`_> ActionParsnip: dkms
[23:18] <gary_inNYC> powerranja penquin
[23:18] <ActionParsnip> Kevin`_: thats the only way I know
[23:18] <sudokill> datguy, i think lots of peple will be using different versions why ask? lol
[23:18] <datguy> mint 10 julia
[23:18] <ActionParsnip> datguy: mint is offtopic and not supported here, just so you are aware :)
[23:18] <Kevin`_> actually, it seems the packaged nvidia-current won't compile for 2.6.39. I assume this is a known issue for somebody since newer ubuntu would be using it. any suggestions there?
[23:18] <gary_inNYC> poopoo platter LTS
[23:19] <astley> can someone share my desktop and help me with my problem?
[23:19] <sudokill> bit trusting arent u lol
[23:19] <tyler_> ubuntu cannot find my built in camera why?
[23:19] <gary_inNYC> i can't figure out how to get google video chat working in ffox without the Google Video Accelerator plugin crashing
[23:19] <BorgTK2001> You are not going to Roll anyone, are you, astley?
[23:19] <tyler_> help?
[23:19] <astley> i suppose, the only way to fix the problem..
[23:20] <sudokill> astley whats the matter
[23:20] <ActionParsnip> tyler_: try installing and running cheese, does it work there
[23:20] <astley> sudokill: having a a problem doing a make or a make install for the driver of my wireless card which is a Ralink5390, I've followed the online tutorials but i don't know how to edit the config, i'm totally new to this, thanks
[23:20] <tyler_> yes it works there
[23:20] <ActionParsnip> tyler_: telling us the make and model of the system is useful too...
[23:21] <ActionParsnip> tyler_: ok then at least the OS sees it and it works :)
[23:21] <tyler_> its a laptop. HP G62
[23:21] <s3r3n1t7> astley, we can help you better the more information you give us. Open up http://www.pastebin.com and paste any information you have, such as what make and/or make install does, what errors they are etc
[23:21] <jiohdi> has anyone else had gnome3 crap out after an update?
[23:21] <astley> s3r3n1t7: ok
[23:21] <ActionParsnip> tyler_: so the system has found your webcam, problem solved
[23:21] <itilious> is it possible to fix an ext3 or ext4 filesystem using FSCK from windows?
[23:22] <tyler_> right but my flash player doesnt find it why?
[23:22] <ActionParsnip> itilious: you will need a liveCD of linux
[23:22] <rkvirani> What is the best way to rip CDs Ihave tried both amarok and banshee and they both suck, amarok cant sync and banshee doesnt get my tracknames at all!
[23:22] <itilious> dang
[23:22] <s3r3n1t7> itilious, using vmware with a long workaround,  yes. Using a liveCD is about 100 times faster and safer.
[23:22] <ActionParsnip> tyler_: you never mentioned the flash player bit though, any other details you may have missed?
[23:22] <ActionParsnip> itilious: windows is too inorant to manipulate Linux filesystems
[23:22] <tyler_> nope. it just says that it cant find the camera
[23:23] <itilious> would tiny linux be able to do this? or is that too minute? lol
[23:23] <sudokill> rkvirani, rubyripper if u want good but slow
[23:23] <rkvirani> sudokill: got a url for that?
[23:23] <jiohdi> itilious, you can do it with puppy linux
[23:23] <astley> s3r3n1t7: this is what i get when i make http://pastebin.com/8z8WQECq
[23:23] <sudokill> rkvirani, if not audex is great
[23:23] <sudokill> rkvirani, install audex it does everything and fast its the best one imo
[23:23] <rkvirani> sudokill: k thanks
[23:23] <sudokill> rkvirani, rips to mp3 flac everything and u can use cdparanoia too
[23:24] <rkvirani> then I can get them onto my ipod
[23:24] <sudokill> ye
[23:24] <CarlFK> itilious: I would use http://clonezilla.org to first make a backup, then use the fsck on it to fix your drive
[23:24] <BorgTK2001> tyler_: If you are wanting to use ChatRoulette, does Flash just not see the camera in the pulldown?
[23:24] <astley> s3r3n1t7: this is make install http://pastebin.com/DUPzsr97
[23:24] <s3r3n1t7> astley, what exactly are you trying to achiev?
[23:24] <BorgTK2001> pulldown of flash
[23:24] <ActionParsnip> tyler_: is there a config in the flash plugin if you right click the flash item, to set the camera device up?
[23:24] <rkvirani> sudokill: I will try that out
[23:24] <rkvirani> thanks for the tip!
[23:24] <sudokill> ok
[23:25] <tyler_> i go to Koowy.com and chat but it doesnt let me use camera
[23:25] <sudokill> u wont be disappointed
[23:25] <ActionParsnip> tyler_: did you configure the camera within flash?
[23:25] <itilious> reason i need to fix yet another corrupted filesystem is because ubuntu ocasionally locks up and i must hard reboot,,, is there another way i can get out of a lock up?
[23:25] <tyler_> within my flash plugin?
[23:25] <itilious> i'm so used to doing CTR + ALT +DEL  lol
[23:25] <ActionParsnip> tyler_: yes, you may need to tell it stuff to work
[23:25] <thomi> How do i disable the thin scrollbars in 11.04 unity? I love them, but they cause render problems in certain applications...
[23:26] <jiohdi> itilious, control alt f1
[23:26] <astley> s3r3n1t7: i'm trying to get my wireless card to be recognized by wicd or network manager, when i had ubuntu 10.10 i had to go through this and i got it working, but for some reason even though i did the same thing it wont work
[23:26] <tyler_> how do i configure it in my plugin?
[23:26] <rkvirani>  for banshee to retro activley get album art for my media?
[23:26] <tyler_> i got the plugin from the software center
[23:26] <s3r3n1t7> astley, and did you upgrade or a complete reinstallation?
[23:26] <ActionParsnip> itilious: you can configure it to bring up a task manager if you want
[23:26] <itilious> jiohdi, doesnt this bring up a simple teerminal full screen?
[23:26] <jiohdi> itilious, then sudo reboot
[23:26] <itilious> i see
[23:26] <rkvirani> err my CDs? retroactivly get the names and album art????????
[23:26] <itilious> makes sense,
[23:26] <IdleOne> !REISUB | itilious
[23:26] <ActionParsnip> tyler_: that isn't of any value, flash is working. You may need to configure it to use the webcam
[23:26] <astley> s3r3n1t7: reinstallation
[23:26] <sudokill> rkvirani, audex uses cddb
[23:27] <sudokill> rkvirani, it will get the names and album art automatically
[23:27] <tyler_> how do i do that then?
[23:27] <ActionParsnip> tyler_: I dont use webcams, too creepy. Right click flash and you may get some options there
[23:27] <BorgTK2001> ActionParsnip, he does that by right-clicking on the 'flash' section, yep?
[23:27] <s3r3n1t7> astley, the second error you get with make install is that it doesn't have the correct permissions, which is correct. Assuming that make did complete succesfully and created the relevant files, you can install with sudo make install. Note the sudo that precedes it, it has to write files which require root access.
[23:27] <ActionParsnip> BorgTK2001: probably
[23:28] <tyler_> now it says enable hardware acceleration?
[23:28] <BorgTK2001> tyler_: what was the website again?
[23:28] <ActionParsnip> tyler_: is there a webcam tab?
[23:28] <BorgTK2001> Oh, that's the options
[23:28] <BorgTK2001> Do you see video and mic settings?
[23:29] <ActionParsnip> funny how I know so much about something I don't actually use.....
[23:29] <tyler_> yes in the lil window there is a tab. i have my cam selected but then it says enable hardware acceleration
[23:29] <astley> s3r3n1t7: this is what i get when i add sudo, i'm not sure how to compile, http://pastebin.com/H7gfKiCC
[23:29] <Kevin`_> I suggest testing the webcam with a local app first, flash has a long history of bugs
[23:29] <BorgTK2001> you can enable hardware acceleration if you like
[23:29] <BorgTK2001> but that has nothing to really do with getting the webcam working
[23:30] <BorgTK2001> but no hard in enabling it if you want to
[23:30] <BorgTK2001> Kevin`_: he has - in cheese, and it works :)
[23:30] <Kevin`_> ah ok
[23:30] <tyler_> how do i enable acceleration? im not good with this computer stuff
[23:31] <BorgTK2001> You don't need to, tyler_
[23:31] <BorgTK2001> You just need to worry about the webcam tab
[23:31] <BorgTK2001> What I really mean is: lets get the webcam working first, and worry about fancy options later ;)
[23:31] <tyler_> well it has my cam selected now
[23:31] <s3r3n1t7> astley, did you install the build-essential package and such?
[23:32] <BorgTK2001> OKies, now 'save' those settings and try your cam in the website you goto
[23:32] <tyler_> and cheese still has my cam working
[23:32] <Kevin`_> how can I tell ubuntu to use the normal opengl libraries instead of nvidia's?
[23:32] <darkorical> anyone experianced in using mplayer via commandline?
[23:32] <astley> s3r3n1t7: this is the tut i'm using, and as for your new question no, how do i do that, synaptic?
[23:32] <astley> install build essentil
[23:32] <Kevin`_> darkorical: yes?
[23:32] <Usuario> please, help me with this ICEauthority http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10874214#post10874214
[23:32] <sudokill> astley, sudo apt-get install build-essential
[23:33] <s3r3n1t7> astley, "this" tutorial? which tutorial?
[23:33] <astley> s3r3n1t7: sorry http://ubuntulinux.co.in/blog/ubuntu/wifi-card-ralink-5390-configuration-in-ubuntu-10-10-64-bit/
[23:33] <tyler_> okay so now in my Adobe Flash Settings is says "Cannot find Camera" wtf...
[23:33] <qin> darkorical: Be specific.
[23:33] <astley> s3r3n1t7: it says build essential is current
[23:33] <astley> installed
[23:33] <Narc> Hello everyone. I installed Ubuntu Natty on an old Toshiba laptop with a downgraded Kernel 2.6.35 and the only way to boot it is to set "radeon.modeset=0" as boot option. Sadly, after a while, screen artifacts appears all over. Glitches and lines. Any advice on how to solve this ? Thanks.
[23:34] <ActionParsnip> Narc: is the ram healthy?
[23:34] <sudokill> doubt thatl do anything
[23:34] <s3r3n1t7> astley, hmm let's see ... You downloaded the correct driver from their site, yes? Verify that please. Then, can you pastebin the config.mk file please?
[23:35] <sudokill> why downgrade kernel?
[23:35] <sudokill> battry life?
[23:35] <rkvirani> sudokill: does audex support selecting a CD ROM drive ?
[23:35] <rkvirani> I have two
[23:35] <BorgTK2001> tyler_: you dont have cheese open right now, do you?
[23:35] <Narc> ActionParsnip:  Well, I don't really know, I have not performed any test on it, but it's quite old and don't have much RAM. But the artifacts don't appear with recent kernels.
[23:35] <astley> s3r3n1t7:how do i find out which is the correct one
[23:35] <sudokill> rkvirani, more than likely
[23:35] <ActionParsnip> Narc: hold shift at boot and select the memtest
[23:36] <tyler_> yes should i close it and reload?
[23:36] <sudokill> rkvirani, i havent used audex in about 6 months i use rubyripper now
[23:36] <astley> s3r3n1t7: what do i put in terminal lspci?
[23:36] <sudokill> rkvirani, but audex is pretty similar should be in options
[23:36] <s3r3n1t7> astley, it's also described in the tutorial you linked me, just before step 1. "use lspci to see your model number"
[23:36] <Narc> ActionParsnip:  Yes, I will. You think it's due to RAM ?
[23:36] <sudokill> rkvirani, have u installed audex yet?
[23:36] <sudokill> Narc, i doubt it
[23:36] <BorgTK2001> yep - close cheese but don't reopen it
[23:36] <BorgTK2001> you can only use your webcam in one place at a time ;)
[23:36] <Kevin`_> guys, this really doesn't google at all, help would be appreciated
[23:37] <rkvirani> nope I cant set the thing anywhere!!1
[23:37] <ActionParsnip> Narc: its possible, good to test things so you know they are good so you can zero in on the stuff thats bad
[23:37] <tyler_> i did and now its back to enable acceleration
[23:37] <tyler_> -.-
[23:37] <Narc> sudokill:  What's your opinion then ?
[23:37] <s3r3n1t7> Kevin`_, "this" isn't really useful, it'd be helpful to just ask your question again to the channel.
[23:37] <elkuka> I lost all my info and I had to reinstall ubuntu. now I took many files in maaany folders with photorec. but now I want to get some of those files. I noticed I can save when I search files and a quees file is created with al paths to all files in lines. how can I use that text file as input to copy or cut all that in another folder? thanks
[23:37] <Kevin`_> how can I tell ubuntu to use the normal opengl libraries instead of nvidia's?
[23:38] <sudokill> rkvirani, its in the first screen in options little dorp down box
[23:38] <Narc> ActionParsnip:  Sure, but if it was RAM, why would I have the bug on older kernels and not recent ones ?
[23:38] <sudokill> Narc, idk ur using downgraded kernel with a radeon boot option somehting to do with radeon or both
[23:38] <sudokill> Narc, why are u using older kernel anyway
[23:38] <astley> s3r3n1t7: here is my config.mk http://pastebin.com/wwnF6uJw
[23:38] <BorgTK2001> And the webcam tab has still got your webcam selected as default?
[23:39] <s3r3n1t7> Kevin`_, from my (somewhat limited) understanding the opengl libraries are used from the graphics driver, so you'd have to switch to a graphics driver which uses the preferred opengl libraries.
[23:39] <Kevin`_> s3r3n1t7: I already switched the graphics driver xorg uses. I need to switch the opengl libraries
[23:39] <ActionParsnip> Narc: its a good thing to test with artifacts. Why not use the newer kernels if they work?
[23:39] <tyler_> yep mine is still there
[23:40] <sudokill> Narc just use the proper kernel 2.6.38
[23:40] <sudokill> r u using one from kernel org?
[23:40] <BorgTK2001> You could try a restart, but usually the flash options are changed instantaneously
[23:40] <tyler_> okay i will shutdown and restart
[23:40] <astley> s3r3n1t7: brb
[23:40] <tyler_> i will be back if it dont work
[23:41] <Narc> sudokill, ActionParsnip :  Because it was a nightmare to install a functioning Natty with default kernel on this laptop. It's a Toshiba Satellite. Had problems with ACPI and Ethernet card, the only way to boot with 2.6.38 kernel was to set acpi=off which kills USB completely, among other things... 2.6.35 is the only stable kernel I've tested so far.
[23:41] <s3r3n1t7> astley, The forum thread referenced in the tutorial also asks you to install a few packages, which are build-essential, devscripts and cdbs. Did you install those? if not, please do so.
[23:41] <sudokill> Narc, newer kernels normally support more hardware
[23:42] <sudokill> i have no idea why its not as stable for you
[23:42] <ActionParsnip> Narc: tried maverick?
[23:43] <Narc> ActionParsnip:  Yes, I tried, but I'm not even able to boot the LiveCD, even with ACPI=off set.
[23:43] <sudokill> Narc could be anything
[23:43] <Narc> ActionParsnip:  Which is strange since Maverick uses 2.6.35 I think...
[23:43] <sudokill> 2.6.36
[23:44] <sudokill> unless thats updated
[23:44] <sudokill> cant remember
[23:44] <Narc> sudokill:  Oh, okay
[23:44] <TheBuntu> I got 2 HDD's... ubuntu on 1 with 2 spar partition and the 2nd is just 2 partions /HD@/Saved1 /HD2/Saved2.... well during install i named /HD2/Saved2 as /Hd2.... then i just went into fstab and renamed it... will it remount it self . as soon as i reboot from system update
[23:44] <TheBuntu> opps /HD@ / is /HD2
[23:45] <rkvirani> sudokill: first screen options eh
[23:45] <rkvirani> let me check
[23:45] <boxbeatsy> hi, how do i use grep but turn off regex matching?
[23:45] <sudokill> rkvirani, should be, i just googled a screenshot of it but u definately should be able to choose a drive
[23:46] <elkuka> I lost all my info and I had to reinstall ubuntu. now I took many files in maaany folders with photorec. but now I want to get some of those files. I noticed I can save when I search files and a quees file is created with al paths to all files in lines. how can I use that text file as input to copy or cut all that in another folder? thanks
[23:46] <Narc> ActionParsnip, sudokill: So, no luck with my artifacts, I guess I'll settle with that. I'm quite proud to have it working anyway. Thank you both for your help.
[23:46] <sudokill> Narc sorry i couldnt actually help could be anything afaik
[23:46] <satonio> hi, i upgraded to ubuntu 11.04 but now it seems that the drivers for mi ati radeon x1950gt are missing and it's using a software rasterizer. any ideas?
[23:46] <sudokill> artifacts probably radeon
[23:46] <ZykoticK9> boxbeatsy, the whole point of grep is regular expression, in fact it's in the name
[23:47] <Narc> sudokill:  It's okay, suggestions are welcome too
[23:47] <Narc> sudokill:  Yeah, I'll investigate that.
[23:47] <Kevin`_> s3r3n1t7: btw, update-alternatives --config gl_conf
[23:47] <boxbeatsy> ZykoticK9: nvm i figured it out...can use the -F flag, thansk though!
[23:47] <s3r3n1t7> Kevin`_, i'll make a mental note of it. Thanks for letting me know!
[23:48] <astley> s3r3n1t7: when i'm installing devscripts i get Postfix Configuration, what do i do
[23:49] <rkvirani> sudokill: got it thanks
[23:49] <s3r3n1t7> astley, default settings will suffice.
[23:49] <astley> s3r3n1t7: how do i select?

[23:56] <s3r3n1t7> astley, once it's done installing do a make clean, make and a sudo make install. Then reboot and test it again. That should make it work, if not please ask the channel again. It's nearly 1am here and i need to get up early, I'm sorry I can't stay to see this to the end. Please do drop me a PM to let me know if it worked, ok?
