[04:44] <theG33k> Please anyone help. I really need to get it done fast. I have a project to complete :(
[04:44] <VirtualBlackness> anonymouspenguin: that gpu chipset is pretty spankin new btw.
[04:44] <n00by> theG33k, are you sure it has a boot sector your bios recognised?
[04:44] <theG33k> Yeah. . i mean i've done it before.
[04:44] <zenmaster> If you use Universal USB for Ubuntu Linux to make a Bootable USB make sure you select the correct distrobution.
[04:45] <theG33k> zenmaster yes. . the version is correct
[04:45] <dr_willis> you could try some of the other tools at the penddrivelinux site theG33k , or try imageing the iso straight to the usb via dd or cat or  a windows image tool
[04:45] <VirtualBlackness> then do it again. Nothing about a hosed hd install will affect that.
[04:45] <shadykhan> i switched to xfce is there an app where i can just hit super and have a application search like program?
[04:45] <zenmaster>  theG33k :Also make sure that the machine is set to boot off of usb.
[04:45] <theG33k> Ok i'll try that
[04:46] <dr_willis> shadykhan:  perhaps gnome-do, but then its alt-space or super-space i think
[04:46] <theG33k> one more ques.
[04:46] <n00by> theG33k, just asking because it should boot from your usb drive no matter whats on your hdd
[04:46] <anonymouspenguin> thats right, I had some warrenty work recently and got an upgraded card. I thought a one time I showed a nvidia driver for the previous card
[04:47] <theG33k> I plan to overwrite the 11.10 with 12.04. Will my files remain intact if I choose the upgrade to 12.04 option during the installation? I'm not sure
[04:47] <VirtualBlackness> anonymouspenguin: alienware is weird... perhaps you can disable the intel in the bios, but most of the new hybrid graphics that is not possible as the nvidia/ati will work through the intel.
[04:47] <ulises> no puedo ver videos online con mozilla en xubuntu, alguien que me ayude
[04:47] <VirtualBlackness> theG33k: the first step is booting to a live environment so you can chroot into the hosed install and fix it
[04:48] <VirtualBlackness> !es | ulises
[04:48] <dr_willis> theG33k:  always have backups
[04:48] <young> ubottu: how to login?
[04:49] <L3top> Login to what young?
[04:49] <young> in some channel, i can't speak, why?
[04:49] <dr_willis> !register | young
[04:49] <anonymouspenguin> thanks for the  help.  I can live with the wubi install till I get something figured out. just liked a regular install better.
[04:49] <dr_willis> young regiesstered nicks only perhaps..
[04:50] <n00by> theG33k, if you managed to boot your usb stick you can chroot and do something similar to this (i reinstalled grub in sda for sda1 install)      mount /dev/sda1 /mnt ; sudo mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev ; sudo mount -o bind /sys /mnt/sys ; sudo mount -t proc /proc /mnt/proc ; sudo chroot /mnt /bin/bash ; grub-install --force /dev/sda ; exit ; reboot
[04:50] <L3top> again anonymouspenguin   checkout bumblebee... you can switch back and forth to suit your needs.
[04:50] <kq> what should i do to login linux terminal from window xp supor terminal
[04:50] <dr_willis> young or the chennel is moderated
[04:50] <anonymouspenguin> ok thanks
[04:50] <theG33k> VirtualBlackness I'm kinda new to linux. Let's say i've booted to a live env. What do i do for recovery? Can i recover my 11.10 installation?
[04:50] <dr_willis> kq:  normally one uses ssh to remote login to a linux box.
[04:50] <L3top> !ssh | kq
[04:51] <kq> thank !!!
[04:51] <young> dr_willis: "!register | young", what do you mean?
[04:51] <n00by> theG33k, oops i read you want to do something different, your grub is working already... Dont know if /home will survive an upgrade
[04:52] <dr_willis> young read what the bot said. regiester your nick. many channels only allow regiestered nicks.
[04:52] <L3top> theG33k: you will want to probably continue the upgrade instead... once you get alive on usb, you will want to mount the drive and chroot into it, and apt-get -f dist-upgrade I believe.
[04:52] <ClientAlive> I just watched this youtube vid: "Booting Without A Display Manager Arch Linux"  At the end of it the guy says when you reboot you'll go straight into x. So no login? No need to enter any login credentials? If that's the case then anyone with physical access to the machine can power it up and go straight for the heart of the system. Security goes straight out the window then, right?
[04:52] <Random832> ClientAlive: so don't store anything important on it, if people are going to have physical access
[04:52] <dr_willis> ClientAlive:  the user can only do 'user' level stuff.. so not really
[04:53] <Random832> init=/bin/sh
[04:53] <young> dr_willis: and the ubuntu channel is an execption, right? thanks anyway:)
[04:53] <L3top> I assume that you could only do user... what dr_willis said
[04:53] <n00by> theG33k, ah i remember if you dont reformat your hdd in the installer and just mount the old /home in the advanced options of the hdd config it should preserve those files
[04:53] <dr_willis> ClientAlive:  physical access to a box implies very limited security anyway. ;)
[04:53] <anonymouspenguin> I found the bumblebee project, thanks L3top
[04:53] <ClientAlive> hmm. I wonder if that type of setup is the best idea. I like security - yes I do...
[04:53] <dr_willis> ClientAlive:  totally depends on the details..
[04:54] <Random832> ClientAlive: init=/bin/sh
[04:54] <L3top> ClientAlive: I don't see any difference between that and the login automatically function for ubuntu
[04:54] <dr_willis> for me and my wife.. her auto loggining in would be fine...
[04:54] <ClientAlive> dr_willis: yeah, true. But I wouldn't want anyone to just power on the machine and do whatever they feel like.
[04:54] <theG33k> n00by thanks a lot. That would work, i guess. And if i couldn't get the USB working, I could boot from a CD burnt with 12.04
[04:54] <Shoozza> escott libgtk2.0-dev is installed but I don't have libgdk_pixbug-2.0-0 or libgdk_pixbug-2.0-dev they are just missing
[04:54] <ClientAlive> I would never, ever use the auto login feature (that's just me tho)
[04:55] <dr_willis> ClientAlive:  they ould mess with the logged in users files.. thats it, normally.
[04:55] <n00by> theG33k, just make sure it doesnt format when you configure the hdd config
[04:55] <theG33k> Yeah sure :)
[04:55] <anonymouspenguin> gotta run, thanks for all  the help
[04:55] <ClientAlive> yeah, that's deff a deal breaker then. I need to find a better way. Thx for pointing out the details to me btw.
[04:56] <L3top> wait... what are you telling him to do n00by?
[04:56] <dr_willis> ClientAlive:  what are you trying to acomplish exactly?
[04:56] <young> test
[04:56] <n00by> theG33k, i did it once like that, but root and home were two different partitions (but i guess you could just use the old fs you formated before you installed your 11.10 )
[04:57] <n00by> L3top, to reinstall and reuse the old fs (at least for /home) with the graphical installer
[04:57] <ClientAlive> oh... Well it's my personal box in my home. Prolly not much chance of anyone messing w/ it but I don't want there to be no login, that's for sure. It's ubuntu server 12.04 and is a base/ minimal system - a host for a virtualization platform.
[04:57] <L3top> backup the home folder from live cd first is my advice theG33k.
[04:58] <shadykhan> i installed xfce and now its telling me to enable composting when its already enabled in compiz
[04:58] <root`> echo
[04:58] <dr_willis> ClientAlive:  i still dont see why you are even looking at auto login stuff.,
[04:58] <n00by> L3top, theG33k yes make a backup of /home for security reasons thats a good advice
[04:58] <L3top> then you can attempt to continue the upgrade if you want to go forward, or you can install your current version again without worries.
[04:58] <ClientAlive> just need to run light, be secure and reliable for running kvm. SELinux is in on the list if that says anything.
[04:58] <ClientAlive> I'm not
[04:59] <theG33k> yeah I've done it.
[04:59] <ClientAlive> I'm looking at startx so my wm will run when I boot
[04:59] <theG33k> I already have a backup of home in my external HDD
[04:59] <dr_willis> ClientAlive:  then it will be auto logging in, or you use a login manager...
[04:59] <theG33k> But still, is there some way to fix the old installation?
[05:00] <dr_willis> a server normally dosent need X :)  depends on what its doing i guess
[05:00] <ClientAlive> is a log in manger the same as a display manager?
[05:00] <dr_willis> !info lightdm
[05:00] <root`> echo
[05:00] <Loshki> ClientAlive: might check out some 'kiosk' distros also...
[05:00] <dr_willis> ClientAlive:  lightdm is default in ubuntu, or xdm, kdm, or gdm. or others
[05:01] <dr_willis> ClientAlive:  most of those *dm login managers have autologin features
[05:01] <ClientAlive> dr_willis: x because I have awesome window manager. Yeah, I want light but I still need some small conveniences.
[05:01] <dr_willis> ive set up box's to autologin/start XBMC for example
[05:01] <root`> echo
[05:02] <ClientAlive> Loshki: I'd never hear of it - interesting
[05:02] <josue> Someone here plays with cocktrice, need some help with the install
[05:02] <root`> echo
[05:02] <dr_willis> !info cocktrice
[05:02] <root`> echo
[05:02] <ClientAlive> dr_willis: cdm caught my eye but still looking to find out more about it
[05:03] <dr_willis> root`:  you got an actual support question?
[05:03] <root`> echoa
[05:03] <Double_Rainbow> hello
[05:03] <Double_Rainbow> i want to download ubuntu iso from German mirrors
[05:03] <Double_Rainbow> any help ?
[05:03] <jalal> hey guys plz help me
[05:03] <young> oh, i got this "Cannot change nickname while banned on channel"...:(
[05:03] <dr_willis> ClientAlive:  they alll do about the same thing. just diffeerent look and feature set
[05:03] <jalal> i am getting this error while install virtualbox
[05:04] <ClientAlive> I see
[05:04] <dr_willis> young so leave the channel..  see #freenode for IRC help
[05:04] <jalal> dpkg -i virtualbox.deb (Reading database ... 244169 files and directories currently installed.)

[05:04] <n00by> theG33k, im not sure if you reinvoke the installer from cd/pendrive if it will offer you an upgrade?
[05:04] <Ben64> jalal: why are you installing from deb? use the software center.
[05:04] <josue> unable to install/run cockatrice,  not downloading the images, I dont find cards.xml
[05:04] <young> dr_willis: join #freenode channel, and ask for help, right?
[05:04] <ClientAlive> Well I'm glad these things were pointed out to me. Now at least I have a sketch for reaching my goals
[05:04] <jalal> i get deb from official site
[05:04] <ClientAlive> thx  :)
[05:04] <dr_willis> ive nevr noticed the installer having a upgrade option... but i rarely upgrade
[05:05] <Ben64> jalal: for ubuntu you should use the software center for software
[05:05] <dr_willis> young yes
[05:05] <dr_willis> !vbox
[05:05] <jalal> in software center virtualbox availalbe?
[05:05] <young> dr_willis: thanks
[05:05] <dr_willis> !info virtualbox
[05:05] <n00by> dr_willis, if he invokes the installer and tell it to use the old root partition with the old installation on it what will it do?
[05:06] <dr_willis> n00by:  want to reformat from what i remember
[05:06] <jalal> bfore i can from deb
[05:06] <jalal> now not
[05:06] <dr_willis> jalal:  when in doubt use the packge manage tools..
[05:06] <Ben64> jalal: "can" and "should" are two different things
[05:07] <dr_willis> sudo apt-get install virtualbox
[05:07] <jalal> yeah before i "can" so now it should be too
[05:07] <jalal> same kernal
[05:07] <L3top> sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose    isnt it?
[05:07] <dr_willis> factoid said 'virtualbox'
[05:08] <brian__> hi, anybody know if there is a way to change login screen on Ubuntu 11.10? I would like to change the image and sound as well.
[05:08] <L3top> !virtualbox-ose
[05:08] <Ben64> jalal: my point is that even if you can you shouldn't. it could break things in ubuntu to install from deb
[05:08] <Ben64> !info virtualbox
[05:08] <KM0201> Ben64: in most cases, i agree with you, but the vbox.deb is perfectly safe
[05:08] <dr_willis> brian__:   image is easy to change. find it..  edit it aas root. or use the various login manager tweak tools. sound... no idea.
[05:08] <L3top> sorry... you are correct in precise...
[05:09] <Ben64> KM0201: it's more safe to let apt-get do it
[05:09] <dr_willis> plus apt will keep it updated.
[05:09] <KM0201> Ben64: if the "closed source" vversion is available in the repos.
[05:09] <root`> test
[05:09] <brian__> thanks dr_willis, i'm a little new @ this
[05:09] <L3top> Interesting... it is the same package.
[05:09] <L3top> !info virtualbox-ose
[05:09] <root`> test
[05:10] <L3top> I see... transitional package. Sorry again.
[05:10] <KM0201> !rootirc | root`
[05:10] <dr_willis> brian__:  in 12.04 it auto changes to the usere wallpaper ;)
[05:10] <root`> test
[05:10] <KM0201> root`: are you having some sort of problem?
[05:13] <brian__> cool, have the disc coming for that as well as a couple other distros
[05:13] <root`> test
[05:13] <root`> anyone
[05:13] <root`> anyone reads me?
[05:13] <Croon2> works
[05:14] <hipparchia_f> yes I do, root :)
[05:14] <L3top> yes... but evidently you dont read us
[05:14] <dr_willis> root`:   you got  a support issue?
[05:14] <ome> Hey where can I get the Java browser plugin ?
[05:14] <dr_willis> !java | ome
[05:15] <n00by> L3top, if he comes back he could try to do sth similar to : mount /dev/sda1 /mnt ; sudo mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev ; sudo mount -o bind /sys /mnt/sys ; sudo mount -t proc /proc /mnt/proc ; sudo chroot /mnt /bin/bash ;  apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade ; apt-get -f dist-upgrade ; exit ; reboot
[05:15] <dr_willis> ome:  webupd8 blog site also had a quick guide/ppa info for installing the letest oracle jva
[05:16] <L3top> leaving out the reboot that was going to be my advice n00by
[05:17] <n00by> L3top, i forgot some sudo's
[05:18] <brian__> is there something special i need to do to configure system to play dvds? I have no problem loading cd's or distro discs but dvds aren't working
[05:18] <Whisk> Anyone know a good AVI to DVD burner?
[05:18] <L3top> I am familiar with the process. I do it about 30 times a day.
[05:18] <ome> cheers dr_willis
[05:18] <ome> I install the jre from webupd8, but I still need the plugin for the browser though.
[05:19] <dr_willis> Whisk:  devede can take videos and make a dvd-video iso image you then can burn
[05:19] <knyt> k3b is good enough to burn the files
[05:19] <Whisk> thanks dr_willis
[05:19] <dr_willis> Whisk:  many new players can play video files from data disks. ;)
[05:20] <dr_willis> devede is a little weird in how it works.. but it does work decently well
[05:20] <Whisk> I dont have a "new player" then :P
[05:20]  * L3top doesn't bind sys and adds devpts
[05:21] <Whisk> hmm
[05:21] <Whisk> United States uses NTSC right?
[05:21] <dr_willis> usa = ntsc yes
[05:22] <n00by> NTSC = "Never The Same Color"
[05:22] <dr_willis> with hdmi tvs and dvd players.. not sure it  matters these days
[05:23] <dr_willis> frogotten all about ntsc vs pal, untill i started using devede
[05:24] <n00by> its only relevant for analogue systems if im not mistaken
[05:25] <dr_willis> yea. not sure what would happen if ya put a pal d vd in a hdmi dvd player.
[05:25] <L3top> It matters.
[05:25] <dr_willis> i rarely use dvd players any more
[05:25] <n00by> L3top, color space encoding?
[05:25] <dr_willis> rarely use rca/analog inputs anymore either. ;0
[05:26] <L3top> Case in point, TV. Pal players will not play US TV nor will NTSC players play PAL.
[05:26] <L3top> Mythv vs VDR
[05:26] <n00by> L3top, but isnt that DVD region code?
[05:27] <L3top> TV
[05:27] <L3top> Cable, OTA
[05:27] <L3top> Sat... they are all PAL NTSC specific.
[05:27] <dr_willis> i wonder what a upscale/upconverting  dvd player does then... ;) but this is getting ot.
[05:27] <n00by> L3top, even with DVB?
[05:27] <L3top> Yup.

[05:30] <n00by> dr_willis, may i ask if you already are using precise?
[05:30] <L3top> It is a chunk of our project. Have to deal with it rather a lot. We would like to dump myth, but until there is more stable NTSC support in VDR we cant. I wrote a gstreamer to try and address it, but... I just dont have the time to do it from scratch.
[05:30] <dr_willis> n00by:  have been for some time

[05:32] <abes> Question: I can access my ubuntu server via SSH locally, but when I try to access it from the outside, I get prompted for the username and right away I get "Server unexpectedly closed network connection". I'm running SSHD
[05:33] <dr_willis> n00by:  id say - upgrade or do a clean install.
[05:33] <HIGG5>  Do any of you know how to add a facebook link to my mail button my my desktop? I have my twitter but I can't figure out how to add more accounts.
[05:33] <dr_willis> abes:  using any firewall rules?
[05:34] <quick-> dr_willis: okay :) i am getting options to install apps but not libs :)
[05:35] <FLeiXiuS`> How can I get a mceremote device to stop pretending to be a keyboard
[05:35] <n00by> dr_willis, wasnt able to get vdpau working with the new vlc 2.0.1 (PAL res ok, 720p not?!), the bug for the missing break in libcairo2 (not able to use bgr rendering) and firefox is STILL there, and i cant shut down from lightdm (at least not from pendrive)...
[05:35] <HIGG5> argh! Ok. I understand.
[05:35] <dr_willis> FLeiXiuS`:  and do what exactly?
[05:35] <FLeiXiuS`> dr_willis, become a LIRC dev, as its supposed to be.
[05:36] <FLeiXiuS`> dr_willis, I see the input dev, told X to ignore it, even setup a udev rule.
[05:36] <n00by> dr_willis, also hw accel flash video got blue and red swapped since i installed the vdpau drivers...
[05:36] <dr_willis> my remotes all just work as keybords. ;)   i thought lirc  did basically he same thing . remote - lirc  to keybord inputs
[05:37] <Shoozza> ok i give up time to switch distros
[05:37] <dr_willis> but ive only a few low end $8 remotes
[05:37] <quick-> can i upgrade the ubuntu 12.04 using the pendrive ?
[05:37] <dr_willis> Shoozza:  have a nice day.
[05:37] <FLeiXiuS`> dr_willis, eh, this was a 30$ remote nothing big.  But I would like for it to work as an IR remote.
[05:38] <dr_willis> FLeiXiuS`:  im not sure how lirc would differ really...
[05:38] <kartook> is this right place to ask help ?
[05:38] <dr_willis> better defult button mapping i guess
[05:38] <FLeiXiuS`> dr_willis, LIRC doesn't even play well with it at all.
[05:38] <quick-> dr_willis: Thanks for the help :)
[05:38] <Shoozza> dr_willis, thanks, too bad can't make stuff work with ubuntu though
[05:39] <dr_willis> last i fought with lirc was with my laptops included (useless) remote. ;0
[05:39] <Shoozza> libgdk_pixbuf is just too good at hiding :P

[05:40] <Shoozza> How to get libgdk_pixbuf-2.0-0 on Ubuntu 10.04? Package seems to be missing.
[05:40] <kartook> i installed cairo -dock and  i love to have top menu bar option on my newly installed ubuntu 12.04 LTS
[05:40] <Shoozza> @ dr_willis
[05:40] <n00by> L3top, oh thanks i will try that
[05:40] <dr_willis> Shoozza:  when in doubt. look for a ppa, or use source
[05:41] <abes> dr_willis: not sure about the firewall rules - I know I ran updates the other day and it stopped working from the outside. How can I view/modify the firewall rules?

[05:43] <dr_willis> abes:  you could enable verbose logging of ssh in the sshd config and try to see why its rejecting
[05:43] <KM0201> hamdy: why yes, you move all your data from your backup, back onto the partition.
[05:43] <root`> good to be here
[05:44] <hamdy> KM0201, I don't have a backup :) that is why am asking if there's something I an do to unformat / restore data
[05:45] <KM0201> "unformat"... stop and think about that.
[05:45] <L3top> There are 5 very special pci ids I am interested in.
[05:45] <KM0201> how did you format it?
[05:45] <somethinginteres> how can I disable my interal TV card so I don't get confused between that and my USB tuner?
[05:45] <n00by> L3top, 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation GT215 [GeForce GT 240] [10de:0ca3] (rev a2)
[05:46] <hamdy> KM0201, I was installng fresh ubuntu when I mistakingly formatted it while installation
[05:46] <KM0201> geez
[05:46] <chronos> someone have issues here when upgrading to 12.04.. I getting errors related to python and when try to execute python I get "Illegal Instruction"? there is the complete error when do apt-get upgrade: https://gist.github.com/2565370
[05:46] <KM0201> hamdy: i guess it could probably done, but i'm guessing that it's gonna be beyond most of the "free" tools that are available.
[05:47] <L3top> Thanks.. not it :)
[05:47] <hamdy> KM0201, mmmmmm why do you think so?
[05:47] <shadykhan> best way to check if i can handle 3d acceleration?
[05:47] <Shoozza> dr_willis, where can I get the source I can't find it in the ppa
[05:47] <KM0201> beccause you formatted a disk to a new filesystem, (and from the sounds of it) installed an operating system on top of it.
[05:48] <wylde> hamdy: at what point did you realized the partition was formatted? After the installation completed?
[05:48] <hamdy> KM0201, I didn't install any thing on it, it was another partition
[05:48] <hamdy> wylde, yes but it wasn't my root , it was another partition
[05:49] <KM0201> hamdy: i dunno, i still think its just gonna be an exercise in frustration (but it's probably gonna a very good lesson)
[05:49] <KM0201> hope it wasn't anything super important
[05:49] <wylde> hamdy: I see. Although I agree with KM0201
[05:49] <hamdy> KM0201, it was super important actually
[05:49] <lance_> howdy
[05:49] <hamdy> wylde, yea a hard lesson
[05:49] <L3top> hamdy: It can be done, but the data is gonna be all over the place.
[05:49] <KM0201> hamdy: then you'd have had redundant backups
[05:50] <root`> bin bookmarks.html boot dev etc home lib lost+found media mnt opt proc root run sbin srv sys tmp usr var
[05:50] <KM0201> lol
[05:50] <wylde> hamdy: that's how I learned, I now always have backups.
[05:50] <hamdy> :)
[05:50] <hamdy> L3top, any ideas?
[05:50] <meganerd> hamdy: there is good news and bad
[05:51] <hamdy> meganred, ?
[05:51] <meganerd> hamdy: the good news is that you can probably get some data back as long it was not an SSD
[05:51] <KM0201> the bad, your files are gone, the good.. I just saved a lot of money on my car insurnace by switching to geico
[05:51] <meganerd> hamdy: the bad news is that the filenames are probably toast
[05:51] <KM0201> you can probably recover some of the files (i mentioned that earlier).. but i bet it will be frustrating
[05:52] <kartook> Hello , i installed cairo -dock and  i love to have top menu bar option on my newly installed ubuntu 12.04 LTS
[05:52] <meganerd> hamdy: take an image of the partition that you wiped (ddrescue /dev/sdb2 /path/to/partition.img)
[05:52] <meganerd> hamdy: then use formost to go through that image looking for certain file types.
[05:53] <meganerd> hamdy: this will be a painful and tedious experience
[05:53] <Young_> this is a test, ignore please!
[05:54] <meganerd> hamdy: you might have some success with sleuthkit, but I would not bet on it
[05:54] <wylde> Young_:  #test exists just for that reason :P
[05:54] <hamdy> meganerd, I can't really do that, it's painful :)
[05:54] <meganerd> hamdy: that is all I have to offer
[05:55] <hamdy> meganerd, and I really appretiate your help
[05:55] <hamdy> thanks
[05:55] <meganerd> np
[05:55] <meganerd> been there and done that
[05:55] <kartook> is this right -lace to ask fro help or not
[05:55] <meganerd> now I have backups
[05:55] <hamdy> :) I'll do that
[05:56] <L3top> hamdy:  knoppix has some tools... and try and get your hands on HEX which is really more a forensic recovery tool...  but... a lot depends on a lot... what was the fs?
[05:57] <hamdy> it was reiserfs that is formatted to ext4
[05:57] <hamdy> I kept the partition untouched after format
[05:57] <padhu> Guys, i just fixed HIS Radeon 6670 GPU on my PC. My monitor is Samsung syncMaster 632nw. It's resolution is 1024X768. but it shows in resolution 800X600. How can i fix this?
[05:58] <dr_willis> may be a good idea to image the partition to a file now hamdy  and try to recover from the file...
[05:58] <hamdy> dr_willis, OK I'll image it
[05:59] <L3top> oh bleagh. that is yuk. I would not expect great results. IF you can get stuff back it is gonna be ALL over the place
[06:01] <padhu> How can i check my graphics card is functioning correctly on ubuntu 10.04?
[06:02] <n00by> L3top, the 295.33 cant play 720p (1280x720) in vlc 2.0.1 neither (like 295.40), maybe its the 2.x branch of vlc itself (weird thing is720x576 seems to be ok?)
[06:02] <L3top> can you explain padhu? I can tell you if you have the best driver combination...
[06:03] <linusasus6> good morning, I would like to know if is normal that I download from 17ko/s to 80ko/s downloading software from synaptics manager, is it the server too busy?
[06:04] <NoobTux> i had a conky in my 10.04 right now but i want to try a new conky but im afraid if im not successful then i want to bring back my old conky is it possible?
[06:05] <dr_willis> NoobTux:  a 'new' conky? as in a new version or config?
[06:05] <linusasus6> of course just uninstall everything and take the one from the repo
[06:06] <dr_willis> conky and unity can be a little quirky last i tried the 2 together
[06:06] <NoobTux> new set or config i dunno which term to use but i guess it's a new design conky
[06:07] <padhu> I have an motherboard ASUS MP5X WIFI, Intel core2 Duo E4500, 2GB RAM, & I am using Ubuntu 10.04. I just brought HIS Radeon HD6670 GPU and fixed on the machine. After starting machine my display srinked to 800X600 resolution. i want revet back to 1024X768. and also want to check that the GPU working properly
[06:07] <dr_willis> conky layout is defined by its config files.. back them up.
[06:07] <padhu> L3top: ^^^
[06:07] <L3top> n00by: That makes no sense. We have vdpau working in everything from 195+ on everything above nv 8600 in xine... Now... we stopped going at 260... but it all rolls 1080p. We run 1080p VDPAU on ions ffs.

[06:08] <n00by> L3top, yes on my 11.04 with xswat it works flawlessly this is a regression in precise :-/
[06:09] <n00by> L3top, did you try vlc 2.0.1 beyond pal resolution?
[06:09] <L3top> yes... there is an issue... I understand. Was the 33 better than the 40?
[06:09] <dr_willis> ok. just saw  somthing odd... on this laptop. it would not boot up. or even see the bootable flash drivce... UNtilL i  unplugged the cellphone that i had chargeing from it...
[06:09] <padhu> L3top: I am not installed any driver for it. I just start the machine.
[06:09] <L3top> We dont use vlc n00by.
[06:09] <dr_willis> morale; unplug extra usb things  ;)
[06:09] <padhu> L3top: How can i install the driver for that?
[06:10] <L3top> padhu: can you give me the output of lspci | grep VGA

[06:28] <Alb_Erc> hi there, I have a problem with my ubuntu 12.04. While I'm using the SO, sometimes the monitor turns black, and in a few seconds, it shows the screen again
[06:28] <Alb_Erc> any idea?
[06:28] <r4y> I am having hard drive troubles I think, but I don't want to go to the other computer and change everything back to the other hard drive.
[06:28] <r4y> That being said. My sister in law has children and doesn't know how to add back the menu applet with applications places and system
[06:29] <r4y> What's it called? 	I know there are 2 applets with the word menu in them.
[06:29] <root`>
[06:29] <thetrav> authorized_keys works for one user and not another... what could cause that to happen?
[06:29] <thetrav> ssh still works, it just requires a password for one user, wheras the other it uses keys
[06:29] <bitboy> virtualbox has no devices menu on my ubuntu 11.10 for some reason
[06:29] <dr_willis> r4y:  theres a classic-gnome menu indicator applet i saw mentioned at the webupd8 blog site thats adds the old type menus under a single icon to unity. if thats what you are looking for
[06:30] <KM0201> lol
[06:30] <Mayazcherquoi> Dual monitor support with laptops isn't too great :-/
[06:30] <r4y> It's for 10.04
[06:30] <r4y> not 12
[06:30] <WoC> check pemissions of the files and directory, thetrav
[06:30] <bitboy> virtualbox has just file, machine, help, no device, I have windows 7 up and running

[06:31] <r4y> I guess I mill just have to go check it for myself so I am sure
[06:31] <mi3> L3top, I dislike unity and gnome 3 but thanks for that
[06:32] <dr_willis> time to move to lubuntu then. ;)
[06:32] <r4y> I tried 12 and I am switching back to10.04

[06:33] <KM0201> i love lxde.. but.. Unity has found a place in my heart.
[06:33] <KM0201> it's much better in 12.04, than previous releases.
[06:33] <dr_willis> that HUD feature in !2.04 is nifty
[06:33] <OerHeks> KM0201, true
[06:33] <r4y> She would have to hold control alt t to even get the terminal. I am not sure I could explain how to use keyboard shortcuts to her
[06:33] <r4y> Then copy and paste that command, lol
[06:34] <r4y> What I am asking will be easier for her

[06:36] <Striking7> Hey guys, I'm trying to get a game working in wine. I've checked for a #wine and a ##wine channel
[06:36] <napalm54> What game?
[06:36] <dr_willis> its #wine-hq
[06:36] <Striking7> Where do I go for a little wine love without getting off topic in this channel?
[06:36] <Striking7> napalm54: Diablo2
[06:36] <dr_willis> !wine
[06:36] <Striking7> Thanks dr_willis
[06:36] <napalm54> Striking7: Good game, but I havent tried it in wine
[06:36] <dr_willis> and the wineapp database should be stop #1
[06:37] <Striking7> Good call dr_willis. Thanks for being willing to help napalm54 :)
[06:37] <Striking7> The game claims I don't have the CD in the drive.
[06:37] <Striking7> I have all 3 .iso files mounted and wineconfig'd
[06:37] <Striking7> Odd.
[06:38] <dr_willis> Striking7:  with many older games with cd protection - ive had to use no-cd cracks.. sadly.
[06:38] <Striking7> And no, it's not pirated.
[06:38] <Striking7> Sad.
[06:38] <dr_willis> mointing the iso - is not the same as oking he copy protection
[06:38] <KM0201> !screenshot
[06:38] <NoobTux> how can i make a backup on my current conky config?
[06:39] <Striking7> dr_willis: exactly. Thus my problem.
[06:39] <Striking7> That's why I'm looking for help :)
[06:39] <dr_willis> NoobTux:  normally its  .conkyrc file.. but it could be anything.. depending on your setup
[06:39] <dr_willis> Striking7:  if you dont want the real cd in the drive.. gotta use a no-cd crack i imagine
[06:39] <KM0201> OerHeks: this is the one thing i can't figur eout about Unity.. it doesn't do it all the time, but sometimes when i go to resize a window, the window starts way above the mouse pointer/border of the window...  http://imagebin.org/210441
[06:40] <Mayazcherquoi> So, I close my laptop lid and my second monitor disconnects. Fairs fair. Then when I go to open my lid, the second monitor stays disconnected, and no matter how many times I unplug and replug the cable in, cease power to the monitor, Ubuntu still won't recognise it! Why?!
[06:40] <Striking7> Hah, this is the first time I've had more problems getting a game running in Linux than in Windows.
[06:40] <Striking7> That's a good feeling, right?
[06:40] <Mayazcherquoi> Striking7: More problems in getting games to work on Windows? lol.
[06:40] <dr_willis> Striking7:  ive had to use no-cd crcks in windows for legit games... to get them to even run at times.. sadly
[06:41] <jameslord> hi all
[06:41] <dr_willis> now  90% of all games i get are from steam, or indie bundles
[06:41] <jameslord> which source will apt prefer? local iso source, or remote source?
[06:41] <dr_willis> jameslord:  local first, then remote
[06:41] <Striking7> dr_willis: most of the time after I've bought a game I still end up running a "pirated" version just because it's easier than the normal version
[06:42] <dr_willis> the order in sources.list may be an issue..but i dont think so
[06:43] <dr_willis> i recall some diablo-ish games working well in wine for me.... torchlight, or fate.. i cant recall..
[06:44] <MACscr> im losing network access to my ubuntu 12.04 server every 30 minutes for about 30 seconds at a time. This system is on my lan and on a wired connection. Any suggestions on how i can troubleshoot the issue?
[06:44] <shadykhan> how can i change my default browser?
[06:45] <jameslord> dr_willis seems it's not true, at first my iso source is in the upmost line, but it is comments, when i use apt install, and find the package is downloaded from http://, so i interrupt this apt installation, then i uncommnet that iso source , then continue will package installation, but it seems the system is still downloading that package from internet, not from local iso:(
[06:45] <jameslord> what's wrong?
[06:45] <Mayazcherquoi> shadykhan: Commonly, there is an option to set your default browser when opening your desired browser.
[06:45] <Striking7> dr_willis: Diablo2 is old enough and popular enough I'm sure it's not hard to get running.
[06:45] <dr_willis> jameslord:  iso could be out of date.   i never use iso
[06:45] <shadykhan> Mayazcherquoi, yeah i wasnt getting it but i got it now :)
[06:45] <Striking7> it'll just take some research
[06:46] <x_XP> Hi All,  If I upgrade my HDD from Ubuntu 11.04  to 12.04ver using live CD will my data remind unchanged ? thanks
[06:46] <dr_willis> i always gave up on diablo2 soon after getting to the desert. ;)
[06:46] <KM0201> shadykhan:    you can also sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser   and select the # of the browser you want as default.

[06:46] <jameslord> dr_willis dude, it is not out of date, it have the same version of that package rather than http source:(
[06:47] <jameslord> dr_willis i wonder it will download package from iso, not http:// source, but the fact is just the reverse:(
[06:47] <dr_willis> jameslord:  if you say so,,   i rarely if evver use the iso/d as a soure..
[06:47] <szal> x_XP: I don't think you can upgrade 11.04 directly to 12.04 via one of the CD media
[06:47] <dr_willis> darksifer:  you do have twinview enabled?
[06:48] <szal> x_XP: except if you reinstall, and whether that'll leave your personal data untouched is a question of your partition layout
[06:48] <darksifer> yes
[06:48] <dr_willis> szal:  the alt-cd can work that way if you insert it onto an older system?

[06:49] <szal> !bg
[06:49] <dr_willis> i dont think the live cd can work as a upgrade-disrto cd. and i dont think the insgaller on the live cd has a upgrade option.
[06:49] <darksifer> dr_willis, yes i have enable it. i was able to do that yesterday but not today after reinstalling the OS. even though after selecting twinview
[06:49] <dr_willis> i could be wrong.. i do clean installs 99% of the time
[06:49] <Ben64> firefox keeps crashing... http://pastebin.com/Le0WVx0B
[06:50] <KM0201> i don''t think so either, but even if you use the alt. cd, i don't thik it would upgrade 11.04 to 12.04 (directly)
[06:50] <x_XP>  szal thanks i read somewhere that this is possible but did not mention date being safe
[06:50] <KM0201> Ben64: use chromium, problem solved.. :)
[06:50] <dr_willis> darksifer:  twinview makes the full-sreening feature a lot smarter from what ive notied.
[06:50] <Ben64> KM0201: that does not solve the problem
[06:50] <KM0201> Ben64: just giving you a moment of brevity...
[06:51] <madsj> hi, I messed up my system a bit; can someone please send me a tar-ball of /var/lib/dpkg/info/emacs* ?
[06:51] <Ben64> brev·i·ty/ˈbrevitē/ - Concise and exact use of words in writing or speech.
[06:51] <szal> x_XP: in any case, expect trouble when upgrading (as opposed to reinstalling) from 11.04 to 12.04 in one go.. the supported way would be 11.04 -> 11.10 -> 12.04
[06:51] <KM0201> ah, see, i used the word wrong.
[06:52] <tchip> ah it works
[06:52] <dr_willis> levity ... ;)
[06:52] <tchip> nice, thx
[06:52] <KM0201> dr_willis: there you go.. :)
[06:52] <rodhash> Hello guys....
[06:52] <rodhash> Is there any keypress counter for ubuntu??
[06:52] <Ben64> anyway, i have firefox in gdb currently, is there anything i can do to find more about the problem
[06:52] <user> how do i allow others to use my internet connection?
[06:52] <napalm54> Shortness of time.
[06:52] <pungi-man> szal: u can download the ubuntu 12.04 for net then burn it and then load it. It will give u an option of upgrading it!!

[06:53] <napalm54> Interesting
[06:53] <napalm54> I thought I was lagging lol
[06:53] <darksifer> dr_willis,  i get no problem with other window when making fullscreen. the windows gets fullscreened on the respective monitor they are in. but with virtualbox i cant
[06:54] <akshay> hello guys .. is there any way that i can increase the size of my root drive without reinstalling ubuntu?
[06:54] <Ben64> akshay: yes. use a livecd and gparted
[06:54] <x_XP> szal:  command was   sudo apt-cdrom add                then            sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[06:54] <szal> akshay: try from a live CD
[06:54] <dr_willis> darksifer:  sounds like a old bug i saw in vbox ages ago.. seen similer bug in some java apps,
[06:55] <dr_willis> darksifer:  perhaps thecompiz plugins could forcce it to the proper monitor
[06:55] <akshay> ok..will try and let you know..
[06:55] <szal> x_XP: 'apt-get dist-upgrade' is not a supported way of upgrading.. while it may work if you know what you're doing, if it breaks you get to keep the pieces
[06:55] <pungi-man> i upgraded my pc in this manner only and it works properly, szal
[06:55] <akshay> i tried gparted but i get error saying canno unmount root drive
[06:55] <akshay> cannot*
[06:55] <KM0201> akshay: you gotta due it from a live cd
[06:55] <szal> due?
[06:55] <Ben64> do
[06:56] <akshay> live cd it is then..i'll try that..thanks
[06:56] <KM0201> due/do... its 0300hrs here in Indiana... i'm tired
[06:56] <KM0201> not to mention sick... brevity/levity,   due/do...lol
[06:56] <pungi-man> akshay : but u may have to format a partiton for that
[06:56] <pungi-man> partition
[06:56] <cvetomir_77> yes bg
[06:56] <szal> Guest32056:  don't IRC as root (unless you have no other option)
[06:56] <KM0201> akshay: depending on your partition lay out, it might be much easier (and certainly faster) to start over.
[06:56] <akshay> how do i do that?
[06:57] <user> dr_willis: iptables: No chain/target/match by that name. why so?
[06:57] <szal> pungi-man: don't spread FUD before the fact.. if it doesn't work, then GParted will tell him

[06:58] <Areckx> I have read many forums posts
[06:58] <dr_willis> user:  i dont even know whaat you are doing
[06:58] <x_XP> szal:   thanks       also    How do I transfer Ubuntu  data patrition from larger HDD vith 11.04 to smaller SSD in hard disk upgrade with 12.04 freshly installed on it,  i did try few times  but it didnt work for me
[06:58] <KM0201> szal: it's not fud... it's highly likely.
[06:58] <Dacicus2> Hi, dewar.

[06:58] <dewar> hello dacicus2
[06:58] <user> dr_willis: well i followed !isc and the first line for iptables rules
[06:58] <szal> KM0201: I know that resizing partitions is not as shiny and trouble-free in practice as in theory..
[06:59] <dr_willis> user:  all i know is at that factoid.. i havent used the feature in years
[06:59] <Areckx> I was able to run webcamstudio latest version using java -jar &*.jar
[06:59] <szal> KM0201: but I doubt that you can predict any specific kind of trouble
[06:59] <KM0201> szal: and all pungi-man was doing, is telling him that...
[06:59] <Marzata> how big is your /
[06:59] <KM0201> szal: of course not... neither can you.
[06:59] <Areckx> errr java -jar WebCamStudio.jar
[06:59] <dr_willis> !fixgrub
[06:59] <KM0201> saying "you may" is perfectly logical

[07:01] <KM0201> akshay: 10gigs is plenty of space... do you have a bunch of movies or music or some stuff on there?
[07:01] <Dacicus2> Hi, MrPockets.
[07:01] <KM0201> that 10gigs can't be all apps
[07:01] <alexandru_> hello

[07:01] <Blue1> KM0201: i put a working ubuntu system with x in 4 gig

[07:03] <alexandru_> please
[07:03] <napalm54> alexandru_: With what?
[07:03] <Dacicus2> Hi, DaZ.
[07:03] <vyrgozunqk> alexandru_, tell us your problem... and we'll see if we  can help
[07:03] <Dacicus2> GNOME 2 was better than Unity in every way.
[07:03] <akshay> KM0201 : is it ok if i use a live cd of ubuntu 12.04 to increase the size of root?
[07:04] <alexandru_>  my unity segfaults when i am trying to enable something in ccsm
[07:04] <Dacicus2> Hi, prime.

[07:04] <Dacicus2> Hi, DaZ.
[07:04] <akshay> KM0201: will my root drive be formatted?
[07:04] <vyrgozunqk> akshay, should be no problems
[07:04] <vyrgozunqk> it depends
[07:04] <alexandru_> have run unity from the terminal to debug the problem
[07:04] <KM0201> akshay: again, you can try, but depending on your partition lay out, this may be quite an undertaking (not to mention, it could take quite some time)...
[07:04] <vyrgozunqk> if you wish to format it
[07:04] <vyrgozunqk> : ))
[07:05] <Dacicus2> Hi, Richard_Cavell.
[07:05] <alexandru_> and when i enable something  in ccsm in the terminal with unity it says segfault
[07:05] <dax> Dacicus2: #ubuntu is a large channel. Greeting everyone who enters it is noisy, disruptive, and not something I recommend if you want to continue being able to talk in here.

[07:05] <Dacicus2> Hi, dahaic.
[07:05] <Dacicus2> How are you doing, dax?
[07:05] <alexandru_> i want effects

[07:06] <Dacicus2> Hi, mi3.
[07:06] <KM0201> akshay: like i said, this could take a lot of time (the actual resizing).. you may find it quicker to back up everything, and do a clean install, and resize a blank partition, as opposed to a full one (which will take much less time)

[07:16] <philipballew> Nefariouz, try the alterninite http://releases.ubuntu.com/precise/
[07:16] <dr_willis> you can mount both systems/fs and copy the users home over easially enought
[07:16] <Blue1> what lotuspsychje said

[07:19] <Areckx> I am putting this project to rest for now, I don't want to risk messing up my entire system

[07:20] <lotuspsychje> szal:lol
[07:20] <n00by> blackcatnekonegr, yes but there are no scrolling options in gnome3 (id guess they where there in gnome2 as always?)
[07:20] <dr_willis> Areckx:  i had very few issues with it last i used t=it.. but that was ages ago
[07:21] <x_XP> szal:  I  do have to much on it to start again from scrach
[07:21] <dr_willis> x_XP:  you install ubuntu to it,. then copy files to the users HOME dir and then it stops working?
[07:21] <szal> x_XP: if the disk is full, then the issue is clear, no need to ask for advice imho
[07:21] <blackcatnekonegr> n00by, thats why I am moving to kubuntu and lubuntu, gnome3 STILL feels like a beta
[07:22] <lotuspsychje> gnome3 got classic option now right?
 astonishingly enough, ~99% of all ppl !list'ing in here are from Italy \\ I've noticed that, what's the reason for it?
[07:23] <szal> Ben64: no friggin' idea
[07:23] <Ben64> I'd really like to know
[07:23] <lotuspsychje> Ben64: many ita ppl want to list warez from bots
[07:23] <x_XP> dr_willis: it is correct it doesnt stop but everything is messed up and not functional
[07:23] <blackcatnekonegr> n00by, there are a few small programs for ubuntu that can configure mouse /keyboard settings, use whatever they use nowdays for the software center and searcj keyboard or mouse, something might pop up
[07:23] <dr_willis> x_XP:  clarify whats not working...
[07:23] <blackcatnekonegr> maybe this network does not work italy?
[07:24] <blackcatnekonegr> *block

[07:24] <szal> blackcatnekonegr: should it?
[07:24] <x_XP> szal: it fits i reduced data to 12 gig
[07:24] <lotuspsychje> Ben64: they dont know that lol, they try it everywhere
[07:25] <blackcatnekonegr> szal, I havent tried last versions of ubuntu, so I don't know if they still have something like the software center
[07:25]  * nofd hi
[07:25] <szal> blackcatnekonegr: no, I mean blocking Italy

[07:30] <alexandru_> can anybody help me
[07:30] <lotuspsychje> not sure
[07:30] <rodhash> Hello guys....
[07:30] <rodhash> Is there any keypress counter for ubuntu??
[07:30] <alexandru_> unity crashed
[07:31] <x_XP> dr_willis: how do I bring up consolle with keybord keys since nothing else working ?
 thanks
[07:31] <lotuspsychje> alexandru_:define crashed
[07:31] <alexandru_> i was trying to enable something in compiz
[07:31] <alexandru_> ccsm
[07:31] <blackcatnekonegr>   ubottu, thanks, my internet is a bit jumpy lately, so no direct downloads for me (Can't resume downloads)
[07:31] <alexandru_> and my desktop disappeared
[07:31] <dr_willis> x_XP:  alt-ctrl-f1 is not working:
[07:31] <dr_willis> ?
[07:31] <lotuspsychje> alexandru_:wich option did you change?
[07:32] <alexandru_> i tried enabling animations
[07:32] <lotuspsychje> alexandru_: try a reboot, that can help sometimes changing compiz values
[07:32] <alexandru_> i have tried
[07:32] <alexandru_> after logging in
[07:32] <alexandru_> still no desktop
[07:32] <alexandru_> tried unity --reset
[07:33] <dr_willis> compiz has its own reset ccommands.
[07:33] <alexandru_> that worked and when i tried again to enable effects it crashed again
[07:33] <alexandru_> and i've reset compiz too
[07:33] <dr_willis> not all compiz effexts work with  unity
[07:33] <lotuspsychje> alexandru_:whats your grafix card brand?
[07:33] <alexandru_> intel
[07:34] <lotuspsychje> old?
[07:34] <alexandru_> but compiz worked
[07:34] <alexandru_> no
[07:34] <alexandru_> it is not old
[07:34] <lotuspsychje> ok
[07:34] <dr_willis> you can enable compiz settings that break unity.
[07:34] <blackcatnekonegr>  alexandru_, does ubuntu suport your video card?
[07:34] <alexandru_> yes
[07:34] <alexandru_> i get compiz
[07:34] <alexandru_> and unity 3d
[07:34] <dr_willis> they were cosndiering removing ccsm beccause of this 'ability' ;)
[07:34] <srikanth> hi i am not connect to wireless network . recently i've installed ubuntu 11.10
[07:35] <alexandru_> my unity is 3d not 2d
[07:35] <alexandru_> so ubuntu supports it
[07:35] <abes> Question: I type in reboot, it tells me that the system is going for a reboot, but nothing really happens. I log back in 10 minutes later and my uptime hasn't changed (no reboot)?
[07:35] <lotuspsychje> alexandru_:you could try gnome shell with compiz, see what that gives maybe
[07:35] <alexandru_> gnome-shell
[07:35] <alexandru_> that uses mutter
[07:35] <alexandru_> should i go in fallback
[07:36] <blackcatnekonegr>  alexandru_, in most cases ubuntu only has a general support on video cards, using any option that goes beyond the minimun can cause ubuntu to crash if you don’t have the right video card driver. Lets me guess, nvria?
[07:36] <srikanth> hi can anyone help me
[07:37] <lotuspsychje> !ask | srikanth
[07:38] <srikanth> i am not able to connect to wireless network
[07:39] <lotuspsychje> srikanth: did you install wifi drivers?
[07:40] <schultza> is a --Steven Pritchard<EMAIL_ADDRESS>on here?
[07:40] <srikanth> i am beginner to this . please help me how to install
[07:40] <dr_willis> srikanth:  you mean put the iso on a cd and boot it help?
[07:40] <schultza> im am wondering why he said that i dont want to run an identd
[07:40] <schultza> mostly curiosity
[07:40] <dr_willis> schultza:  ive not seen identd needed in ages...
[07:41] <dr_willis> schultza:  it used to be a bad security risk.. dident do much anyway
[07:41] <blackcatnekonegr> srikanth, is the drivers or a configuration problem, try to see if wifi works with the live cd
[07:41] <schultza> efnet requires it to connect
[07:41] <lotuspsychje> srikanth: can you see wireless networks?
[07:42] <dr_willis> schultza:  err.. last i used it - it did not require it.. but i dont go to efnet in ages.
[07:42] <schultza> my only reason for going to efnet has died away
[07:43] <srikanth> yes i can see them but not able to connect
[07:43] <lotuspsychje> srikanth: what kind of error you get when connecting?
[07:43] <blackcatnekonegr> schultza, sorry to ask this, does it ask you for a password?
[07:44] <lotuspsychje> lol
[07:44] <mardraum> efnet doesn't "require" working identd
[07:44] <srikanth> wireless network not connected
[07:44] <lotuspsychje> srikanth: try enable wireless network
[07:44] <jameslord> why packages cannot be authenticated! ?
[07:44] <jameslord> http://iyanwu.com/pastebin/showthread.php?tid=42
[07:44] <dr_willis> the last working identd i used just spamed random words  for usernames to the  server anyway. ;0
[07:45] <schultza> sorry for the OT
[07:45] <dr_willis> it was a 5 line perl script. ;)
[07:45] <srikanth> it is enabled
[07:45] <ubuntu606> hi all
[07:45] <srikanth> but same result
[07:45] <ubuntu606> i need to report a bug
[07:46] <dr_willis> !bug | ubuntu606
[07:46] <Mneumonic> I turned Sticky Edges in Display to Off but it didn't disable it.  I tried restarting but it is still functioning while disabled.
[07:46] <Mneumonic> Does anyone know what else I need to do to disable sticky edges
[07:47] <ubuntu606> Sometimes when I close my laptop, it would goto sleep (which is what i want); other times it would put the OS to sleep, and the computer will be still running, or not go to sleep at all
[07:47] <blackcatnekonegr>  Mneumonic, tried to manually edit the configuration files? Also backup first!
[07:47] <Mneumonic> which file do I need to manually edit
[07:48] <srikanth> its asking authencation key again n again but getting connected
[07:48] <blackbear008> SSH?
[07:48] <ubuntu606> what package is responsible for sleeping a computer?
[07:49] <blackbear008> ACPI
[07:49] <Mneumonic> blackcatnekonegr which file do I need to edit?
[07:49] <ubuntu606> blackbear008.. r u talking to me??
[07:49] <alankila> acpid is what they call it on debian-likes, I think
[07:49] <dr_willis> ubuntu606:  id search the bug reports first for your exact make and modelof laptop. check the foorums also. there may be some known issues and work arounds
[07:49] <blackbear008> - ubuntu606, 15:48 -
[07:50] <blackbear008> what package is responsible for sleeping a computer?, ACPI packet ,but only in Gnome
[07:50] <ubuntu606> crap
[07:50] <ubuntu606> what about in unity??
[07:50] <dr_willis> unity is gnome ;) well its a shell on top of gnome
[07:50] <Mneumonic> I turned Sticky Edges in Display to Off but it didn't disable it.  I tried restarting but it is still functioning while disabled.
[07:50] <Mneumonic> Does anyone know what else I need to do to disable sticky edges
[07:51] <dr_willis> what does sticky edges do:
[07:51] <Mneumonic> when you drag a window to the top of the screen it puts into full screen
[07:51] <Mneumonic> or the side of the screen puts it maximized on half of the screen
[07:52] <Mneumonic> I clicked to option to disable it but it's still enabled
[07:52] <dr_willis> i dident think that was sticky edges
[07:52]  * n00by invokes "apt-get -y install kubuntu-desktop"   oO
[07:52] <blackbear008> - ubuntu606, 15:50 -,,   unity is the same, try acpid packet
[07:52] <ubuntu606> yup i did it
[07:52] <ubuntu606> it works
[07:52] <ubuntu606> i can't believe it's been such a while since i reported bugs
[07:53] <blackbear008> any one know where to fine channel :  TED?
[07:53] <blackbear008> to find channel : TED?
[07:53] <dr_willis> blackbear008:  you sure its on this server?
[07:53] <dr_willis> !alis | blackbear008
[07:54] <abes> Question: how can I add a program to startup? I edited my /etc/rc.local by adding the path to my script but it didnt start after the reboot :(
[07:54] <dr_willis> abes:  what does your script run?
[07:54] <blackbear008> thanks , dr_wllls
[07:55] <dr_willis> !autorun
[07:55] <dr_willis> !startup
[07:55] <lotuspsychje> whats the best gui grub editing package?
[07:55] <dr_willis> lotuspsychje:  im not sure of any gui grub editing tools...
[07:55] <blackbear008> nano
[07:55] <dr_willis> a few grub tweaking tools..but never noticced one that had full editing features
[07:55] <lotuspsychje> dr_willis: startup-manager is one, but cant find it anymore
[07:56] <dr_willis> !find startup-manager
[07:56] <dr_willis> obsolete i guess
[07:56] <abes> dr_willis: the script is just the no-ip IP updater
[07:56] <lotuspsychje> !info startupmanager
[07:56] <lotuspsychje> hmm
[07:57] <dr_willis> abes:  could be the path or somthing is not set right.  rc.local starts befor users login amd could get ran befor networking is up. if you are using wireless
[07:57] <normatif> !boot
[07:57] <lotuspsychje> !info grubconf
[07:57] <abes> dr_willis: it is on ethernet
[07:57] <Mneumonic> dr_willis you were right it's not sticky edges
[07:58] <ratz> hi friends
[07:58] <abes> i will just make a script that checks if the process is up and if not then it will start it and add it to crontab
[07:58] <Mneumonic> to disable it I had to install ccsm compiz manager and disable grid
[07:58] <dr_willis> Mneumonic:  still not sure what sticky edges does..
[07:58] <Mneumonic> i realized what it is
[07:58] <Mneumonic> sticky edges is for if you have 2 monitors
[07:58] <chronos> how I recover from a failed upgrade to 12.04
[07:58] <chronos> ?
[07:58] <Mneumonic> with sticky edges enabled the mouse will "stick" at the point between the two monitors
[07:58] <Mneumonic> before it jumps to the next one
[07:58] <dr_willis> sticky edges = what your phone has when yyou are eating donuts and texting...
[07:59] <ratz> I am trying to use a dos based application on my Ubuntu system i m using wine but it just runs and closes the windows
[07:59] <dr_willis> chronos:  a clean install is the safest bet.
[07:59] <Mneumonic> ratz did you try dosbox?
[07:59] <ratz> can someone please help me
[07:59] <dr_willis> ratz for real dos  apps = dosemu or dosbox
[07:59] <tejaswidp> My pc doesn't have wifi support. Can I connect to my wifi modem using my android Phone and then access the internet on my PC using USB?
[07:59] <chronos> dr_willis: it's a production server
[08:00] <ratz> Mneumonic: thanx i will try that
[08:00] <chronos> dr_willis: it failed on something related to python
[08:00] <Mneumonic> ratz It has worked for me really well for dos based games
[08:00] <umer> Guys what type of themes does ubuntu 11.10 uses?....
[08:00] <chronos> I getting thinks like /bin/sh: line 1: 14659 Illegal instruction LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/root/src/Python-2.7.3: CC='gcc -pthread' LDSHARED='gcc -pthread -shared ' OPT='-DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes' ./python -E ./setup.py -q build
[08:00] <dr_willis> chronos:  depends on how it failed i guess..
[08:00] <dr_willis> umer:  gtk3/gnome-shell
[08:00] <chronos>  I getting errors related to python and when try to execute python I get "Illegal Instruction"? there is the complete error when do apt-get upgrade: https://gist.github.com/2565370
[08:00] <chronos> but works with python -S
 what about unity themes?
[08:01] <chronos> dr_willis: some file looks broke but don't know what is this one
[08:01] <dr_willis> umer:  is no such thing that i know of.
[08:01] <ratz> Mneumonic: I am trying to use a Foxpro build application which an executable. It does execute, but then generates error.
[08:02] <dr_willis> ratz:  is it a atual dos app or a windows execcutable
[08:02] <ratz> dr_willis: it is an application compiled in foxpro as an .exe
[08:03] <dr_willis> ratz:  so it has a window and a gui?
[08:03] <dr_willis> or is it pure text?
[08:03] <ratz> dos based gui
[08:03] <dr_willis> ratz:  then try it in dosbox perhaps
[08:03] <dr_willis> unless its a weird windows-console app
[08:04] <dr_willis> tri it from terminal wine whaever.exe and se eif any errors show  up
ok thanks
[08:04] <onats> hi guys, i'm trying to install on a machine with intel raid. I used alternate CD, but I can't seem to proceed with installation if I'm offline?
[08:04] <undeclaredx> is it safe to do do-release-upgrade, or is a reinstall necessary?
[08:05] <skbohra> after upgrading to 12.04 the system gives error 'running in low graphics mode' and stuck there
[08:05] <dr_willis> undeclaredx:  it is a good idea to have backups
[08:05] <undeclaredx> dr_willis: well, I don't have the most complicated install either
[08:05] <skbohra> any possible solution? I googled and found many people with same problem
[08:06] <dr_willis> undeclaredx:  then go for it! live on the edge!
[08:06] <undeclaredx> hahah
[08:06] <undeclaredx> that's a pretty sad definition of the edge!
[08:06] <dr_willis> skbohra:  install the drivers for your video ccard
[08:06] <normatif> undeclaredx: I had a basic 11.10 install, and do-release-upgrade failed , fubar even
[08:06] <undeclaredx> the edge aka HIGH CHANCE OF FAILURE
[08:06] <undeclaredx> yeah
[08:06]  * dr_willis IS the edge1
[08:06] <undeclaredx> I wouldn't try it
[08:06] <undeclaredx> pfft lies
[08:06] <undeclaredx> you're dr_willis
[08:07] <ubuntu606> what's the best language to learn to help develop ubuntu??
[08:07] <dr_willis> i always do cleani nstalls..
[08:07] <undeclaredx> heh yeah
[08:07] <undeclaredx> I should too, I guess
[08:07] <undeclaredx> ubuntu606: I suppose C/C++ would be where to go
[08:07] <ubuntu606> what about vala??
[08:07] <undeclaredx> it all depends on what you want to do
[08:07] <undeclaredx> I haven't heard of that
[08:07] <dr_willis> ubuntu606:  if you know NOprogramming:. then go learn Python for starters
[08:07] <undeclaredx> there's also scripting languages, like python
[08:07] <undeclaredx> yeah
[08:07] <undeclaredx> python is a good suggestion too I suppose
[08:07] <esak> my laptop cant detected wireless. how config  wlan network ??
[08:07] <ubuntu606> i only know java so far
[08:07] <undeclaredx> and if you want to make apps REALLY easily, just do mono C# =/
[08:08] <undeclaredx> oh but you know java
[08:08] <undeclaredx> that's a big deal, but how well do you know it?
[08:08] <lotuspsychje> esak: your network card drivers installed?
[08:08] <ubuntu606> pretty well actually. not perfect though.. i still am gonna go back to my textbook to perfect it though
[08:09] <blackcatnekonegr> dr_willis, is there a Pyhton guide somewhere?
[08:09] <esak> i dont know lotuspychje. how check ??
[08:09] <padhu> L3top: I installed. The result of installation is : http://paste.ubuntu.com/959353/
[08:09] <lotuspsychje> esak: can you see wireless networks?µ

[08:15] <dr_willis> skbohra:  but its not a required file on many setups
[08:16] <lotuspsychje> esak: did you try http://<IP_ADDRESS>
[08:16] <skbohra> dr_willis, oh, I am from Fedora so thought if I could just remove this file to get create a new one.
[08:16] <dr_willis> skbohra:  not sure what you are trying to fix,,,
[08:17] <skbohra> dr_willis, the issue with the graphics mode, ubuntu is unable to start X
[08:18] <dr_willis> skbohra:  most systems dont ecen have a xorg:conf these days
[08:19] <blackcatnekonegr> dr_willis, depends on the distro, version he is using.
[08:19] <skbohra> dr_willis, any way I can just login to a basic graphics mode and disable all video drivers?
[08:19] <chronos> what is the right address to open a NEW BUG on 12.04
[08:19] <dr_willis> skbohra:  that can normally be done from the console.
[08:19] <skbohra> I can't install video drivers, I don't have internet working on the system.
[08:19] <skbohra> since I use a weird ISP
[08:19] <dr_willis> skbohra:  whats your video card/chipset?

[08:39] <iceroot> MACscr: the users on your network are windows? mac? linux?
[08:39] <lotuspsychje> iceroot: would it be safer for exploits then adobe?

[08:47] <lotuspsychje> is it possible to set desktop switchers in 1 row, 4 desktops like in gnome?
[08:47] <PsynoKhi0> anyone familiar with this?

[08:49] <L3top> reading... padhu, what is going on with all of these PPA's? No wonder you have some dependency problems... can you pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list
[08:49] <L3top> padhu: and pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list.d
[08:49] <L3top> er...thats not gonna work

[08:51] <Ravenslock> Can some one help me please. Yesterday I upgraded my Ubuntu from 11.10 to 12.4 and a blank maroon or purple screen appears. I then pressed Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart my pc and selected the previous linux version to run and the icon pictures are all missing and there is no network, no eth0?
[08:51] <PsynoKhi0> nvm there is a patch on the fora :)
[08:52] <lotuspsychje> Ravenslock: you could try a clean install
[08:52] <L3top> padhu: why do you have all of those PPAs?
[08:52] <padhu> L3top: http://pastebin.com/rAz4b1hE
[08:53] <padhu> L3top: I installed PPAs and i am not removed it from source list
[08:53] <bluegoober> Ive made it a habit not to dist upgrade till 90 or more days beyond the release date
[08:54] <L3top> Yeah... that is a crazy list padhu. WHY did you add ALL of that?
[08:55] <padhu> L3top: whenever i need to install the packages from PPAs,  i added it and i am not deleted the list.
[08:56] <padhu> L3top: okey i am going to clean it
[08:56] <auronandace> padhu: what are you trying to do?
[08:57] <padhu> auronandace: i am going to remove it using source list GUI
[08:58] <auronandace> padhu: no sorry, i mean what are you trying to do overall?
[08:58] <L3top> at this point just install fglrx, but it is causing dep web due to http://pastebin.com/rAz4b1hE that being in his /etc/apt/sources.list.d
[08:58] <L3top> @ auronandace
[08:59] <padhu> auronandace: i am trying to install driver for HIS radeon hd6670 on ubuntu 10.04
[08:59] <auronandace> L3top: oh, i see
[09:00] <greenit> well... network is working with my notebook and my computer in windows, but not with my computer in ubuntu... plz help :S    i have a linksys dual-band wireless-n pci-adapter
[09:00] <xuserx> does anyone know how make ubuntu customization kit work with ubuntu12.04 ? >Failed to copy resolv.conf, error=1
[09:01] <L3top> padhu: leave your /etc/apt/sources.list alone... that looks normal... just handle the non working stuff in /etc/apt/sources.list.d
[09:01] <auronandace> L3top: well, ppas are generally unsupported and he has a gnome3 ppa there too, which certainly breaks stuff on 10.04
[09:01] <FazzaJr> G'day
[09:01] <auronandace> L3top: why would he need a gnome3 ppa and a kubuntu ppa?
[09:01] <L3top> he wouldnt
[09:02] <padhu> L3top, auronandace: i am not installed gnome3.
[09:02] <L3top> I take it back... you have some stuff to get rid of in sources.list too padhu.
[09:02] <auronandace> padhu: its in that list
[09:03] <padhu> L3top: what is next? guide me
[09:03] <auronandace> padhu: seriously, start from scratch, a fresh install (avoid ppas in the future)
[09:03] <padhu> auronandace: ^^^
[09:03] <padhu> auronandace: no other way?
[09:03] <L3top> deb file:/nandhu/LocalRepository/ /       you should hash that out at least for now. and here http://pastebin.com/Nfja64rf drop lines 57 on
[09:04] <auronandace> padhu: simply having gnome3 on 10.04 will absolutely positively cause a broken system
[09:04] <L3top> It is possible the keys werent added
[09:04] <L3top> there was a LOT of failure as well
[09:04] <padhu> auronandace: i am not installed gnome 3 in ubuntu 10.04
[09:05] <padhu> auronandace: I just added ppa only
[09:05] <auronandace> padhu: why did you add the ppa if you aren't going to use it?
[09:05] <L3top> padhu: the suggestion is not that you installed it, but that the repo was avail... just clean that dir, and make those changes and do an update.
[09:06] <padhu> L3top: how?
[09:06] <L3top> In the future avoid, do not seek ppas
[09:06] <L3top> sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:07] <L3top> delete everything below line 56
[09:07] <auronandace> !gksudo | L3top
[09:08] <L3top> Ok... I use vi, I didnt know to edit sources.list... ty auronandace
[09:08] <auronandace> L3top: no worries, i'm not as advanced as you, i use nano :)
[09:09] <auronandace> L3top: gedit is graphical so you use gksudo, nano and vi are commandline so you use sudo
[09:11] <robgraves> sup everybody?
[09:12] <L3top> understood... isn't there an easy way to use the gui to only select ubuntu repos?
[09:12] <L3top> something he can click that will not use "extra" things?
[09:12] <L3top> as you can see I don't use a gui much
[09:12] <auronandace> L3top: update manager has a settings thingy
[09:14] <padhu> L3top: okey, cleared, update is going on
[09:14] <L3top> padhu: open update manager... and only select the ubuntu repositories.
[09:14] <padhu> L3top: okey
[09:15] <L3top> That will be a lot easier than you going around whacking at things... I don't have an ubuntu up atm so I cannot tell you exactly what to click
[09:15] <laeusen> hello
[09:16] <L3top> please pastebin your update when it finishes padhu
[09:18] <laeusen> is there anybody out there who probably could help me to get pidgin running after yesterday's ubuntu 12.04 upgrade?
[09:18] <L3top> What is the problem exactly laeusen

[09:20] <ratz> i am using smbmount to mount a windows share, it is working fine, but it is setting uid:gid as root, how can i make it to mount as normal user?
[09:20] <L3top> I am not sure the proper fix for that laeusen, but I would try apt-get install --reinstall pidgin   to begin with.
[09:20] <jotwebe> ratz did you try -o users
[09:21] <L3top> sudo apt-get install --reinstall pidgin laeusen.
[09:21] <ChesterX> good morning everyone, is there already a way to install ppstream so it runs stable under 12.04?
[09:21] <ratz> jotwebe: yes but that is to use the windows user, i wish to mount it as a linux normal user
[09:22] <jotwebe> hmm, don't use it myself, that was what came to mind
[09:22] <ratz> jotwebe: no problems, thanks anyways
[09:23] <laeusen> no success
[09:23] <laeusen> but there is another error:

[09:24] <txm> Morning.  Ubuntu 12.04, AWS, I want to override an AWS host in my local /etc/hosts but it's not working.  I've checked the order in host.conf and nsswitch.conf - any ideas? TIA
[09:24] <jefimenko> i was updating my laptop from 11.10 to 12.04. last i checked, the update process was at the "cleaning up" stage. i came back a few minutes later and now all i see is my desktop wallpaper. is it safe to just reboot?
[09:25] <jefimenko> there's no panel, icons, or anything
[09:25] <jefimenko> just the desktop background and mouse pointer
[09:25] <iksik_> is it safe to upgrade ubuntu to 12.04 LTS version?
[09:25] <auronandace> iksik_: i've always fresh installed
[09:25] <iksik_> my update manager just notified me, that it is possible to upgrade it now
[09:26] <sburjan> I am doing the upgrade as we speak, and it seems slower than a clean install
[09:26] <Guest1918> I'm having an issue where everytime I open up a window it opens near the top of the screen and it's a pain to try to and move each window with the top bar covering it. Is there anyway to fix this?
[09:26] <L3top> If you were at cleanup, I would say so jefimenko, however it is always a good idea to backup your /home directory prior to such an upgrade... so if you haven't, I might try to do that real quick... then reboot
[09:26] <laeusen> well, my background picture was lost and pidgin is not working, everything else seems to be fine but I did not spend too much time to discover any further issues
[09:26] <iksik_> well, i'm just after a fresh install of 11.04 and upgrade to 11.10
[09:27] <iksik_> sburjan: how long it will take? ;-)
[09:27] <sburjan> mine tells me still 3 hours :))
[09:27] <L3top> laeusen: can you ls -l /home/$USER and see if you own your home dir?
[09:27] <iksik_> sburjan: damn ;-D
[09:28] <iksik_> is it worth?
[09:28] <L3top> There is Guest1918... and for the life of me I can't remember it.
[09:28] <tatty> Heard ubuntu 12.04 32 bit added new module to support more than 3gb ram on 32bit os
[09:28] <sburjan> iksik_: if you don't have any precious data, you can do a clean install
[09:29] <Guest1918> L3top dang...it's driving me up the wall
[09:29] <Guest1918> It's so annoying
[09:29] <Guest1918> haha
[09:29] <auronandace> !pae | tatty
[09:29] <CAZ_au> Everytime i update my package list cache with APT-GET or update manager etc it seems to redownload and not add to cache. Is this normal? because its downloading many MB (some lists over 9mb etc) each time.
[09:29] <tatty> Yup. Pae enabled. Thanks :)
[09:29] <iksik_> sburjan: like i said, i've just installed 11.04 yesterday, and upgrade it to 11.10... ehh i don't want to do it again :(
[09:30] <tatty> So ubuntu 12.04 kernel is by default pae enabled
[09:30] <auronandace> iksik_: in that case you may as well install 12.04 fresh
[09:30] <iksik_> so, i'll stay with 11.10 or just upgrade it to 12.04 if that changes anything :P
[09:30] <auronandace> tatty: i think so yes
[09:30] <auronandace> iksik_: 12.04 is lts and unity has improved
[09:30] <whistlingpig> hey all, may anybody tell me where to put "xrandr -o left" to get an already rotated login screen in ubunte 12.04? Thank you very much!
[09:31] <laeusen> L3top, yes I am owner
[09:31] <savask> Hello. After an upgrade to 12.04, GUI doesn't boot. I get a message from my monitor: "Cannot display this video mode. lalala" What can I do about this? My video card is Nvidia GeForce 8600 GT.
[09:31] <manitou> hi there , i get strange issue with ath9k , only thing i did is make "options ath9k nohwcrypt=1"  here is syslog grep ath  http://paste.ubuntu.com/959525/
[09:32] <PsynoKhi0> tatty, I think 12.04 is the last release without the PAE kernel being default, although should the installer find more than 4GB of RAM on the machine, it will pull the PAE kernel
[09:32] <tatty> Please install nvidia propoetary deiver from repo
[09:32] <fernando_> hi, I can't login in ubuntu 12.04, after I write my password nothing happens,., I can see in the lightm.log file that the process failed to open my wallpapers which is in a second partition..
[09:33] <iksik_> auronandace: what 'lts' means?
[09:33] <rodhash> Hello guys....
[09:33] <rodhash> Is there any keypress counter for ubuntu??
[09:33] <L3top> savask: did you install the proprietary driver?
[09:33] <fernando_> where is the configuration file for the wallpapers?
[09:33] <auronandace> iksik_: long term support, 5 years
[09:33] <iksik_> oh
[09:33] <iksik_> ok, thanks
[09:33] <iksik_> so... i'll try with upgrade ;-)
[09:34] <savask> L3top: Yes, I believe, cause my card worked for me since I installed Ubuntu.
[09:34] <L3top> can you get to a terminal by pressing ctrl alt f2, or via ssh on the machine?
[09:34] <auronandace> iksik_: the default support period for non-lts is 18 months, starting with 12.04 lts is 5 years for both desktop and server, previous lts releases were 3 years for desktop and 5 years for server
[09:35] <savask> L3top: I'm on it now.
[09:35] <savask> It's so awful XD
[09:35] <L3top> savask: apt-cache policy nvidia-current | grep Installed
[09:35] <padhu> L3top: http://paste.ubuntu.com/959531/

[09:37] <nachokk> anyone here?
[09:37] <auronandace> savask: or open another terminal
[09:37] <L3top> well thats much nicer padhu... sudo apt-get -f install
[09:37] <savask> auronandace: Yeah, that's the way.
[09:37] <auronandace> nachokk: indeed
[09:38] <padhu> L3top: update manager shows 'run partial upgrade' window now
[09:38] <fernando_> does anybody know where is the configuration file for the background for a session?
[09:38] <L3top> I would do that next.
[09:38] <nachokk> is it possible to make a useful image of my c: drive to another local hdd? for backup purposes (using ubuntu)?
[09:39] <padhu> L3top: am i continue?
[09:39] <srinivas> In some log in sessions the mouse is freezing.even in the settings the touch-pad is not detected when the mouse is frozen.is there any reason for this.if there is how to fix this? my laptop is lenovo z560
[09:39] <laeusen> nachokk, probably using dd...?
[09:39] <L3top> savask: I am tempted to suggest that you run nvidia-xconfigure
[09:39] <auronandace> nachokk: sure, you'd need to know which partition your windows drive is
[09:39] <savask> L3top: Okay, hope I'll return back.
[09:40] <L3top> padhu did you run sudo apt-get -f install
[09:40] <nachokk> okay thanks
[09:40] <padhu> yes, running...
[09:40] <L3top> padhu: tell me if you end in dpkg errors
[09:41] <savask> L3top: It displayed some warnings and said that a new configure is written to /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[09:41] <L3top> lets reboot and cross fingers savask
[09:41] <savask> Okay
[09:41] <maroufi> hi
[09:42] <maroufi> I'm using ubuntu 12.04 . the left click doesnt work sometimes. any help?
[09:42] <L3top> that sounds like hw error maroufi. Do you have another mouse you can plug in and see if the error continues?
[09:42] <padhu> L3top: http://paste.ubuntu.com/959540/
[09:43] <maroufi> L3top:  yes. same issue
[09:43] <padhu> L3top: shows error (1)
[09:43] <srinivas> i'm using ubuntu 12.04.mouse is freezing sometimes.what shall i do?
[09:43] <L3top> padhu: sudo apt-get remove fglxr
[09:44] <L3top> padhu: actually you should purge
[09:44] <glosoli> how to disable that *** thing that Unity Dash changes it's background colors depending on wallpaper???
[09:45] <savask> L3top: Sorry to say, but crossed fingers didn't help.
[09:45] <padhu> L3top: removed
[09:45] <L3top> padhu: sudo apt-get --purge remove fglxr
[09:46] <L3top> padhu:then sudo apt-get install fglrx
[09:46] <WulRadyanyska> why ubuntu is completely stoned when it reads from or writes to hard disk? it's like windows 98 again
[09:47] <L3top> savask: your chipset is definitely covered under 295... but some people are having problems with the .40 version, however I am not convinced that is your issue.
[09:47] <WulRadyanyska> even numlock key lags
[09:47] <ziyadb__> WulRadyanyska: reduce swappiness.
[09:47] <savask> L3top: Eh, thanks for help. Hope I'm not blessed to work in terminal all my life.
[09:48] <ziyadb__> WulRadyanyska: assuming you have large enough RAM.

[09:48] <rhumbot> hi all. i just installed ubuntu 12.04. and my internet is not working properly any more. installing and downloading all packages already took me like 4 hours. Now i am trying to install R and downloading the 130MB takes another 2 hours ...
[09:48] <lImItaO> hi i can't install ubuntu 12.04 on my laptop, I keep getting an ugly black screen when it tries to install the bootloader
[09:48] <L3top> out of idle curiosity, lets remove the nouveau driver
[09:48] <ziyadb__> rhumbot: if's say to assume that it has nothing to do with the OS if it works but is slow.
[09:49] <L3top> It really shouldnt be an issue... but... wont hurt to remove it.
[09:49] <Boreeas> So, I want to permanently disable a synaptics touchpad on Precise. I'm using "xinput set-prop <dev num> "Device enabled" 0", but everytime the computer sleeps/hibernates/restarts, ir forgety that I disabled it.
[09:49] <ziyadb__> s/if's/it's/
[09:49] <Boreeas> Is there a way to make the change permanent?
[09:49] <lImItaO> also it's the first time that the installation program ask me to create an efi partition, so i ended using the default partitioning
[09:49] <L3top> savask: sudo apt-get remove xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
[09:49] <rhumbot> ziyabd__ if i download from my windows computer it takes me less than 1 minute
[09:49] <savask> L3top: Okay.
[09:49] <lcabreza2> hi guys. i'm afraid to upgrade to 12.04. i'm currently using 10.10 can i upgrade directly ?
[09:50] <ziyadb__> Boreeas: that has to do with some config/init files in /etc/ Google.
[09:50] <Boreeas> ziyadb__: Ah, alright, thanks
[09:50] <ziyadb__> rhumbot: odd. Check netstat, try different parameters, see if you're experiencing heavy packet loss.
[09:50] <DJones> lcabreza2: You can only upgrade to 12.04 from 10.04 (as the last LTS) or 11.10
[09:50] <L3top> savask: assuming this doesnt fix your issue, which it probably wont, my next step would be to downgrade your driver version to 295.33 unless someone has a better idea.
[09:50] <savask> L3top: That package isn't installed.
[09:51] <L3top> well allrighty then
[09:51] <L3top> hey... I have a question
[09:51] <DJones> lcabreza2: You would need to go through 11.04 and 11.10 before going to 12.04
[09:51] <PredsFan> I'm having a hard time with window borders in ubuntu. When I open a program and the window opens, it opens at the top of the screen and it's a pain to try and move it. How do I go about just getting a window to pop up in the middle of the screen? Any help would be great
[09:51] <ziyadb__> lcabreza2: based on what DJones said, it would be easier to just backup your data and perform a clean install.
[09:51] <L3top> savask: is this a laptop, and if so does lspci | grep VGA return more than one video card?
[09:51] <ziyadb__> PredsFan: are you using Unity?
[09:51] <L3top> Or even if not savask.
[09:51] <lcabreza2> DJones: ok Thanks ..
[09:52] <PredsFan> ziyab__ yes I am
[09:52] <savask> L3top: It's not a laptop.
[09:52] <ziyadb__> PredsFan: sudo apt-get install compiz, then run compiz and fiddle with the window settings.
[09:52] <lImItaO> i have no idea of what to do
[09:52] <L3top> check anyway svg
[09:52] <L3top> savask*
[09:52] <PredsFan> I've already got compiz but I can't figure out how to make that work
[09:52] <x_XP> dr_willis: I do appologise for  not saying  thank you for your help elrier today ,  my system stoped to respond and i couldnt do anything
[09:52] <savask> L3top: Only one card.
[09:52] <ziyadb__> PredsFan: setting where windows are drawn by default might be tedious, try exploring other options.
[09:53] <yann2> hello! nvclock seems to be crashing on ubuntu precise. Is there any alternative that would allow me to speed up the nvidia card's fan, as the card otherwise overheats?
[09:53] <ziyadb__> lImItaO: verify the MD5 checksum of the image you downloaded, try reinstalling.
[09:53] <lImItaO> can anyone help me
[09:53] <dr_willis> x_XP:  no problem. This channel gets hectic
[09:53] <lImItaO> ziyadb__: yes
[09:53] <lImItaO> it's correct
[09:53] <lImItaO> i try installing from cd and an sd-card
[09:54] <lImItaO> using custom partitioning and default
[09:54] <PredsFan> ziyadb__: I'm not sure what that means.  What other options are there?
[09:54] <ziyadb__> lImItaO: what are you trying to install it on?
[09:54] <lImItaO> i think it's an issue with the efi partition
[09:54] <ziyadb__> PredsFan: try Unity 2D or Gnome and see if the issue persists, etc. Try different approaches.
[09:55] <lImItaO> i'm trying to install on an Acer Aspire 3810T
[09:55] <ziyadb__> lImItaO: why are you trying to install it in an efi partition?
[09:55] <x_XP> dr_willis: in the minetime I did put back SSD in my lappy, installed 12.04 , restore copied files from USB HDD and it worked better this time for me except a lot of programs I had cannot be located I am on limited mobile broadband only  and took me long time to accumulate stuff I needed is there a procedure to do it 100% successfully ?
[09:56] <lImItaO> ziyadb__: i don't try nothing, even using the default installation, using the whole disk installation fails at bootloader install
[09:56] <ziyadb__> lImItaO: I can't help you much beyond that really. Sorry.
[09:56] <lImItaO> and when i make a custom partitioning i get an efi related alert
[09:56] <lImItaO> ziyadb__: thank you anyway
[09:56] <L3top> Ok... then if I were you I would install the xswat 295.33 version savask. are you on 32 or 64?
[09:57] <dr_willis> x_XP:  you normally dont 'copy' installed apps from one system to another. unless you do a exact clone.  you ccan generate a list and reinsall apps you installed via the package manager system.
[09:57] <savask> L3top: 32
[09:59] <L3top> I would sudo apt-get remove nvidia-current  I would download/wget http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates/ubuntu/pool/main/n/nvidia-graphics-drivers/nvidia-current_295.33-0ubuntu1~precise~xup1_i386.deb     then sudo dpkg -i nvidia-current_295.33-0ubuntu1~precise~xup1_i386.deb   from wherever you dl it to, and reboot.
[09:59] <laeusen> L3top: well, after removing libclutter-gst-1.0-0 pidgin is ruuning again, but libclutter-gst-1.0-0 depends on gnome...
[09:59] <x_XP> dr_willis:  I am on limited mobile broadband only and it took me few months to  complete them downloads . is there an another way other then download and install?
[09:59] <savask> L3top: Okay.
[09:59] <samfisher> hi. I have an 8-port router and I want to connect 6 PCs and a server. The problem is that I want the server (http and email) to have the domain mydomain.com AND every user to connect as<EMAIL_ADDRESS>not user@localhost
[10:00] <L3top> but what depends on libclutter laeusen?
[10:01] <laeusen> I think this was somehow installed while trying to get cheese running
[10:01] <laeusen> but cheese was never working
[10:01] <laeusen> if i remove libclutter, gnome will be removed automatically
[10:01] <laeusen> so, don't care about chesse. Just want to have pidgin ang gnome working poperly ;-)
[10:02] <Defuera> hi all, google chrome does not launch, what can be the problem? no error msg, just nothing
[10:02] <dr_willis> x_XP:  months? makes me wonder what all you installed.. if the apps are dfrom a differnt release you dont  move them over:  If the other install is identical; you could just clone it to the new hd. you may need to figure out how to shrink it down a bit.
[10:02] <Defuera> ps. ubuntu 12.04
[10:02] <samfisher> anyone, please?
[10:03] <dr_willis> !hostname | samfisher
[10:03] <laeusen> well, I need to keep on trying later, thank you so far
[10:03] <laeusen> goodby
[10:03] <mirak> hi
[10:03] <mirak> is there a way to have flash running perfectly on a linux 32 ?
[10:03] <meltinpot> hi
[10:03] <mirak> I eamn without tearing, and with hardware acceleration
[10:04] <Defuera> google-chrome-not-launching-problem, any tips please?
[10:05] <L3top> Defuera: dmesg | tail -f       open chrome and see if anything interesting shows up.
[10:05] <meltinpot> someone know how remove the incomple istallation of oracle-java7-installer?
[10:05] <dr_willis> mirak:  most people are happy to get flash working at all....

[10:05] <fernando_> I have a problem with my background.. I use ubuntu-tweak to set a background which is in a second partition.. and now after login nothing happens..
[10:05] <fernando_> I need to reset the background
[10:06] <fernando_> but I dont know how...
[10:06] <Fleck> You can disable vesafb in grub by passing it a nonsensical parameter. E.g.: vesafb.nonsense=1 << anyone can explain - how do i pass to grub? comes from ubuntu wiki...
[10:06] <fernando_> any ideas?
[10:06] <dr_willis> fernando_:  you mean getg the default desktop wallpaper back?
[10:06] <fernando_> dr_willis, yes
[10:06] <fonecode> LjL: nice...
[10:06] <dr_willis> right click on desktop. cchange wallpaper/background and select it...
[10:07] <fernando_> dr_willis, I can't login
[10:07] <mirak> dr_willis, i know the basic flaws, i want to know if anyone ever managed to have something as neat as  on windows
[10:07] <dr_willis> Fleck:  you use the 'edit' feature of the grub menu and  append the item to the end of the  kernel= line, or i just use the 'nofb' option  but that may not be orrect any more
[10:08] <mirak> dr_willis, just to know if i was time finding a way, or just install a dual boot
[10:08] <dr_willis> fernando_:  wallpaper settings should not keep you from logging in.
[10:08] <Fleck> dr_willis that will not keep that parm...
[10:08] <dr_willis> fernando_:  you can login to the console?
[10:08] <fonecode> Running 11.10 in Virtualbox.  anyone have render issues in windows with graphics getting distorted?
[10:08] <Fleck> ill have to edit every boot time
[10:08] <fernando_> dr_willis, yes
[10:08] <dr_willis> Fleck:  of course not. if you want it perm. you edit the grub configs and refun update-grub

[10:10] <Defuera> tail: warning: following standard input indefinitely is ineffective
[10:10] <savask> L3top: No, that doesn't work as well.
[10:10] <dr_willis> x_XP:  if you want an identical install on the other hd. you can clone the first instll to the 2nd hd.. useing differnt methods..
[10:10] <Defuera> emm, does it have any sense?
[10:10] <fernando_> dr_willis, I found this error in my light.log file "critical: background_loader-create-pattern: assertion "image-null" permission denied

[10:11] <L3top> I didn't expect that was your issue, I just don't understand your issue savask
[10:11] <dr_willis> Defuera:  its taling what you type in.. which is a little weird.
[10:11] <Defuera> l3top, is says tail: warning: following standard input indefinitely is ineffective
[10:11] <x_XP> dr_willis: thanks i will do some reading
[10:11] <L3top> lol...
[10:12] <savask> L3top: Thanks, still.
[10:12] <dr_willis> fernando_:  as a test yoi could login via console and move all your .*whatever* config files and dirs to some Backup dir: and see if resetting everything helps
[10:12] <L3top> ok... then just open chrome several times and view the end of the dmesg log.
[10:12] <dr_willis> fernando_:  or make a new user and see if theey have the same login issue
[10:12] <fernando_> dr_willis, how can I create a new user from the console?
[10:13] <Defuera> ok, i just reinstall it, it will be easier and faster ^_^
[10:13] <L3top> oh... savask...
[10:13] <dr_willis> fernando_:  sudo adduser billgates
[10:13] <Defuera> i mean OS

[10:15] <DJones> !classic | Guest6058
[10:15] <Guest6058> thanks DJones
[10:15] <fonecode> Guest6058: you mean gnome-panel ?   sudo apt-get install gnome-panel should work then login in classic mode
[10:15] <L3top> savask: sudo dpkg -r big-long*.deb; sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia-current; sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-nouveau would be my next attempt
[10:16] <DJones> Guest that does talk about 11.04, so it may be a little bit out of date
[10:16] <hwq001> codemaniac: the new one has no error, however no file was transfer to /root/a .Please help to check gain. almost done.     http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11894243#post11894243

[10:17] <ThinkT510> how do i change the background colour of the buttons of the unity bar?
[10:17] <L3top> I always surround globs with patterns... just cause.
[10:17] <fonecode> unity is meant to target people who like macs?   i dun like it (
[10:18] <greenit> i have a problem with my wifi-network... after update to 12.04 it does not work anymore after some time... i have a linksys wmp600n network-card, plz help! :S
[10:18] <ThinkT510> fonecode: i've never owned a mac and never will but unity isn't as bad as i thought it would be
[10:19] <mattbuntu> If I want to install new themes in 12.04 - am I looking for GTK3 themes, or Compiz themes, or something else? It's stock 12.04, just installed :)
[10:19] <L3top> ok I need a little sleep... what happened to padhu?
[10:19] <fonecode> ThinkT510: what i don't like is everything is so big and in your face..  i like small with details :/
[10:19] <ThinkT510> fonecode: i've adjusted the size of the launchers on the right, that makes it more bearable
[10:20] <dr_willis> fonecode: wait till you turn 40+
[10:20] <fonecode> hah
[10:20] <padhu> L3top: package is downloading. okey, good night. i will post the result on pastebin. are you have an email?
[10:20] <L3top> I will just wait.
[10:20] <dr_willis> i do resize the icons and unlock most of them
[10:20] <L3top> wont be that much longer
[10:20] <L3top> should be around 80% yes?
[10:20] <ThinkT510> how do i change the background colour of the buttons of the unity bar?
[10:21] <dr_willis> ThinkT510:  in 12.04 they auto change :)
[10:21] <dr_willis> based on wallpaper
[10:21] <ThinkT510> dr_willis: i'd like them all clear
[10:22] <savask> L3top: Nah, doesn't work.
[10:22] <dr_willis> check the unity tweak guides and tools
[10:22] <iksik_> lol
[10:22] <iksik_> upgrade to 12.04 ETA: 11 hours :D
[10:23] <fernando_> dr_willis, a new user didn't work.. however I can login as guest..
[10:23] <mattbuntu> iksik_: why wait so long? XD
[10:23] <dr_willis> bbl.
[10:23] <padhu> L3top: my network is slow. i think this will take an 15 min
[10:23] <iksik_> mattbuntu: it will not disturb my work, so... i don't really care ;-D
[10:24] <L3top> so... about 80% :P
[10:24] <mattbuntu> iksik_: haha fair enough! it is the best release I have ever used, so solid and fast ;-)
[10:24] <iksik_> hm 8h
[10:25] <iksik_> mattbuntu: good to know, cause i have no idea why i need to use unity 2d right now :P
[10:25] <L3top> savask... I really hate letting the machine win.
[10:25] <padhu> L3top: yes :-(
[10:25] <sabrehagen> hi, i just logged out to see if there was a GNOME classic session option, but all i was presented with was ubuntu and ubuntu 2D
[10:25] <savask> L3top: Yeah. But you're not a machine ;-P
[10:25] <xuserx> hi
[10:26] <sabrehagen> that happened when i clicked the button on the login box (it looked kind of like a universal access button)

[10:26] <deiu> Hello!
[10:26] <auronandace> deiu: greetings
[10:27] <deiu> I have a ThinkPad T420 running 12.04. After resuming from suspend, the touchpad doesn't work anymore. However, scrolling with the touchpad works! Any ideas?
[10:27] <xuserx> can you help me?
[10:27] <ThinkT510> deiu: i like your taste in laptops
[10:28] <sabrehagen> Hi! How do I set which monitor I want to be the primary monitor? i have tried xrandr --output DFP11 --primary, but this only persisted till i logged out
[10:28] <deiu> :)
[10:28] <synergizm> hi guys yesterday my ubuntu 11.10 64 was running fine. i installed anjuta and my system wouldnt boot again. i removed it using the recovery mode but now it sais it cant load module "nvidia" when i type startx
[10:29] <padhu> L3top: installing......
[10:29] <toto456> hi
[10:29] <deiu> I guess I'm the only one with this problem...
[10:29] <toto456> why isn't the package libdigest-sha1-perl available anymore.
[10:29] <toto456> ?
[10:30] <drostie-live> okay how the #$%^ do I get a console window in unity, and why the @#$% didn't it come with an IRC client?
[10:30] <ThinkT510> deiu: sorry, i never use hibernate or suspend
[10:30] <MonkeyDust> drostie-live  ctrl-alt t
[10:30] <deiu> ThinkT510, thanks anyway! :)
[10:30] <padhu> L3top: http://paste.ubuntu.com/959607/
[10:31] <drostie-live> MonkeyDust: thanks. what's the name of the program, in case I ever want to alt to it?
[10:31] <MonkeyDust> drostie-live  terminal, or gnome-terminal
[10:32] <ThinkT510> drostie-live: you can add the terminal to the launchbar, also empathy is installed by default which can handle irc (i prefer xchat)
[10:32] <sabrehagen> hi, does anybody know how to set the primary monitor?
[10:32] <drostie-live> MonkeyDust, yeah, no, it's not showing up under the alt launcher under "terminal" or "gnome". :x
[10:32] <toto456> why isn't the package libdigest-sha1-perl available anymore?
[10:32] <drostie-live> Is there a way to get a list of all the programs installed?
[10:33] <drostie-live> for that matter, is there a way to learn wtf unity is all about for those of us who have been using kde when it sucked?
[10:33] <L3top> I don't know why I am surprised. I frankly don't know how your machine is running padhu. sudo apt-get remove fglrx; sudo apt-get upgrade
[10:33] <synergizm> now i reinstalled the nvidia driver using sudo apt-get install nvidia-current. start x now sais "no protocol specified"
[10:33] <ThinkT510> toto456: maybe its unmaintained or its integrated into perl
[10:34] <L3top> synergizm: lspci | grep VGA
[10:34] <padhu> L3top: the last choice?
[10:34] <drostie-live> because just knowing to hit alt was already a bit of an "I got lucky" thing.
[10:34] <L3top> both.
[10:34] <padhu> L3top: chance*
[10:35] <L3top> it will not upgrade until you remove the broken fglrx install.
[10:35] <synergizm> L3top: it lists my vga
[10:35] <synergizm> L3top: sorry me big linux noob :S
[10:35] <L3top> ah... no... I expect this will work... once you upgrade, then install fglrx again and I expect it will go.
[10:36] <L3top> I wasn't thinking synergizm, clearly you are not on that machine... lspci -nn |grep VGA    and tell me the last 4 digits it lists
[10:36] <drostie-live> ah, okay, got the terminal on my launcher bar, that's a little better.
[10:36] <synergizm> L3top: ahhh hornet in my room gimme a sec >&
[10:36] <L3top> padhu: just so you know, you shouldnt have to dl fglrx again, it should be in your cache
[10:37] <L3top> All too familiar with that synergizm.
[10:37] <MonkeyDust> drostie-live  the phase your in is called 'learning', something we all had to do, please don't keep us informed about your proceedings
[10:37] <synergizm> L3top: im back :)
[10:37] <airdem> for some reason i cannot change the language of a single user. the .pam_environment has no effect and i always get the systemwide language settings. any ideas?
[10:38] <padhu> L3top: then how can i clear this?
[10:38] <synergizm> L3top: u mean [10de:0402] _
[10:38] <L3top> yup... one second.
[10:39] <L3top> padhu sudo apt-get remove fglrx; sudo apt-get upgrade   then, assuming no dpkg errors, sudo apt-get install fglrx, and it just may work... your system was completely borked.
[10:39] <Pitel> can I somehow configure Apport to open launchpad bug report after reporting it?
[10:40] <jpds> Pitel: It does that already?
[10:40] <Pitel> it doean't
[10:40] <padhu> it needs to download 740MB. I think that it is not possible in my network :-(
[10:41] <airdem> is there any way to force the .pam_environment settings? my users home is encrypted. can that be the problem?
[10:41] <L3top> yes synergizm... that would be the appropriate driver... a lot of nvidia problems. YOU may actually benefit from the downgraded driver... gimme a min, kids up
[10:41] <synergizm> L3top: kk
[10:42] <padhu> L3top: it's the time to reinstall with Ubuntu 12.04. i am going to backup the files first
[10:43] <savask> synergizm: Does your monitor shows something? (I'm asking cause I have a similar problem)
[10:43] <synergizm> L3top: i tried another reboot after reinstalling the nvidia driver and now i got a loginscreen
[10:44] <synergizm> savask: what u mean? shell was working just the xserver didnt
[10:44] <airdem> why does nobody has a clue about this?
[10:44] <APoulos> hey folks, I could use some help with something
[10:45] <APoulos> if anyone is up and willing to take the time to help me I'd be very appreciative
[10:45] <savask> synergizm: Eh, just my monitor says that it can't handle this video mode and so on. Shell works for me too :-P
[10:45] <dalek_> How do I get bread crumbs back in the location bar in unity?
[10:45] <alecm_> Hello all. I'm using supervisord to spawn a load of long-running daemon php processes. What's the best way to up their open files limit?
[10:45] <alecm_> as in ulimit -n
[10:45] <L3top> padhu:  if you made me go through all of that, to get to the finish line, and you are gonna start over, I might hunt you down.
[10:45] <rodhash> Hello guys....
[10:46] <rodhash> Is there any keypress counter for ubuntu??
[10:46] <adarax> hi everyone
[10:46] <L3top> good news synergizm
[10:48] <ThinkT510> APoulos: to help we need to know the issue
[10:48] <synergizm> L3top: but im wondering hoe that happened... i think it was because of anjuta but why would it fuck up the nvidia driver
[10:48] <synergizm> *w
[10:49] <ThinkT510> !langguage | synergizm
[10:49] <MonkeyDust> synergizm  no profane words here please
[10:49] <ThinkT510> !language | synergizm
[10:49] <APoulos> ThinkT510: could you go about pming me?
[10:49] <synergizm> hrhr one typo and the bots go crazy :D
[10:49] <mcdonc> alecm_: i wrote supervisor ;-)  i'm afraid it wont go past 1024 files very easily
[10:51] <mcdonc> but if you need fewer than that and its the shell limiting you can probably use the bash ulimit builtin, although i dont remember the flag to bump the number of file handles
[10:51] <alecm_> mcdonc: pleasure to meet you! hmmm. Well the problem is lots of process fopening lots of files, and fopen failing saying 'Too many files'
[10:51] <alecm_> ulimit -n is 1024
[10:52] <adarax> can anyone tell me were i can find blackbuntu irc channel?
[10:52] <captine> hi all.  i am still struggling with Broadcom wifi in 12.04 on BCM43227 hardware
[10:52] <mcdonc> alecm_: well like i said, it's unfortunately hard limited to 1024 open file handles in the code.. because it uses select(), which has that limit
[10:53] <mcdonc> so if you're going over that, i'm afraid you'll need to run multiple supervisor instances
[10:53] <alecm_> ah.
[10:53] <captine> was fine all day after i turned off IPV6 option in network manager, but now, the card doesnt seem to be working.
[10:53] <alecm_> i didn't realise the limit was in supervisord as opposed to limits.conf or something else :/
[10:54] <abdo> hey
[10:54] <captine> it sees my network, but just wont connect
[10:54] <L3top> synergizm: what leads you to believe it was anjuta?
