[00:00] <escott> MoleMan, so boot the normal livecd, then mount your ubuntu partition to /media/ubuntu with sudo mkdir /media/ubuntu; sudo mount /dev/sda# /media/ubuntu; you then have to bind mount /proc and /dev and maybe /sys with sudo mount -o bind /proc /media/ubuntu/proc (same for dev and sys); mount the new boot partition with sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/ubuntu/boot; finally then sudo chroot /media/ubuntu; at this point you should be inside your ub
[00:00] <escott> untu system as if it had booted more or less normally
[00:00] <c_smith_> hey, I got a new Desktop, and I have no monitor to hook it up to, and I really would like to get started on installing Ubuntu 11.10 on it, and saw that it had an S-Video out jack, and found a VCR that has a similar jack (S-VIDEO out), and I'm wondering whether I can connect the 2 safely to get the PC to display on the TV.
[00:00] <medeman> and thanks to everybody who helped me, good night/day
[00:00] <Ho^Oh> Oer: What I really need is DEBOOTSTRAP into Raid0 tutorial.          Which doesn't seem to be out here.
[00:00] <c_smith_> I have a monitor at home.
[00:00] <MoleMan> escott: so i need a normal disk not server?
[00:01] <escott> MoleMan, you can use either. everything you are doing is command line. so just boot to a normal commandline on the cd
[00:01] <bulletxt> does someone know why ubuntu wants to install postfix when doing do-release-upgrade on ubuntu 8.04 (upgrades to 10.04)?
[00:01] <Ho^Oh> The steps/path names changes in between tutorials and I do not know which is which. (sda/md0) because the tutorials were not made for my situation.
[00:02] <Gentoo64> c_smith_: possibly, try it...
[00:02] <Gentoo64> c_smith_: i dont hear that used very often though :)
[00:02] <fellayaboy> how can i see the commands for those in /etc/init.d/??i tried man and --help but im doing it wrong
[00:02] <c_smith_> ok, I have a 32" TV at home with VGA, HDMI, and a bunch of other ports in the back if this doesn't pan out.
[00:03] <overclucker> fellayaboy: not all the init scripts are even functional
[00:03] <fellayaboy> i see
[00:03] <c_smith_> and I'd need to find said cord in a box full of 'em. :P
[00:03] <fellayaboy> well for those that are functional...is their a way
[00:03] <Gentoo64> c_smith_: your best bet would be the vga or hdmi
[00:03] <fellayaboy> or do i have to look at scattered documenations found in other folders and such
[00:03] <cppdev> I love linux :)
[00:04] <c_smith_> Gentoo64, true dat, gotta love VGA.
[00:04] <Gentoo64> yea im still using vga
[00:04] <overclucker> fellayaboy: mostly you'll only have stop start reload and force-reload.
[00:05] <fellayaboy> where can i see info about my vpn malfunctioning..which logs
[00:05] <c_smith_> Gentoo64, funny thing is the tower seems to have one of the latest iteration of VGA, and 2 old VGA ports..... strange, never seen one like that.
[00:05] <akSeya> folks.. quick question, i need to change some setting on kernel .config but when I run "make modules", scripts/kconfig/conf --silentoldconfig Kconfig is run and is overwrite .config
[00:05] <c_smith_> it was custom built for someone who is no longer alive.
[00:05] <akSeya> what can I do?
[00:05] <tristan3199us> so after upgrading to 11.10 my speakers started "hissing" loudly.. seems like something to do with my drivers..
[00:06] <priXon`> does ubuntu support multiple monitors (i.e. connecting the notebook to the tv for example)? because on my old r60, I've never managed to enable it in a suitable manner
[00:06] <overclucker> fellayaboy: and i forgot status
[00:06] <t432> I am unable to login after adding a file to the etc/profile.d/... how can i remove this file?
[00:06] <Gentoo64> c_smith_: theres only 1 vga afaik
[00:06] <c_smith_> priXon`, yes it does, and it's easy to set up.
[00:06] <fellayaboy> start stop reload and status
[00:06] <fellayaboy> got it
[00:06] <fellayaboy> thanks overclucker
[00:06] <tristan3199us> anyideas how to fix this??
[00:06] <c_smith_> Gentoo64, yeah, as far as I can tell, the difference is purely looks.
[00:06] <overclucker> fellayaboy: you can read the initscript with a text editor
[00:07] <ActionParsnip> tristan3199us: try:  killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse*          wait a little while then try some sound stuff
[00:07] <fellayaboy> wheres the initscript
[00:07] <c_smith_> the other two ports just look older (with pins sticking out)
[00:07] <overclucker> fellayaboy: /etc/init.d
[00:07] <priXon`> ok, thanks
[00:07] <fellayaboy> oh what will that tell me...
[00:07] <MoleMan> escott: does it matter if the new boot partition is sda4 it canvstill be flagged as the boot partition?
[00:07] <fellayaboy> the commands for each daemon/
[00:07] <t432> anyone?
[00:08] <c_smith_> priXon`, if you want, I could point you to the app you would search for in Unity.
[00:08] <escott> MoleMan, that shouldn't matter just be sure to reference the correct partitions in all your mounts (i've been assuming boot was sda1 so you would use sda4)
[00:09] <tristan3199us> actionParsnip: thank you.. it did turn off pulseaudio, however it still hisses at me..
[00:09] <priXon`> c_smith_, please do. although now, on my r60, i'm still using 10.04 (and I've got some problems because of ati radeon mobility)
[00:10] <fellayaboy> whats the log to see for checking whats wrong with network connections??
[00:10] <ActionParsnip> tristan3199us: what is the output of:    wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh
[00:10] <overclucker> fellayaboy: init.d isn't really used very much in ubuntu, mostly it's ontrolled with sudo service start|stop|reload with configs in /etc/init
[00:10] <c_smith_> priXon`, this is assuming you are using Unity, open up the dash, and search "display" it'll be the one with the monitor with measuring tools on it.
[00:11] <fellayaboy> iooh
[00:11] <MoleMan> escott: should the files be in /boot? they appear to be in /boot/boot
[00:11] <escott> MoleMan, that would be the problem then. move them down a level
[00:11] <overclucker> fellayaboy: erm, sudo service SERVICE  start|stop|reload|status
[00:12] <MoleMan> escott: you mean up to /boot/?
[00:12] <escott> MoleMan, mv /boot/boot/* /boot/
[00:12] <priXon`> and then I will find it under `display`?
[00:12] <fellayaboy> oh overclucker yeah i know..its for starting , stopping etc daemons
[00:12] <escott> MoleMan, then you can verify that /boot/boot is empty and rm -rf /boot/boot
[00:13] <MoleMan> whats the operand to move folders aswell?
[00:14] <escott> MoleMan, * will move folders down. it will complain that it can't move something to itself but it just means that the .. link in /boot/boot can't be moved to /boot
[00:15] <overclucker> fellayaboy: you could also find any config files the vpn daemon uses in /etc and check them for log locations
[00:15] <fellayaboy> true
[00:15] <fellayaboy> brb
[00:15] <tristan3199us> actionparsnip: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=bf1b3a708246268ef5e2bce56652e0789fa3fd53
[00:17] <MoleMan> ah it was becase there was already a grub folder it wouldnt let me replace
[00:17] <escott> MoleMan, because of the grub install. its not too important. the main thing is the kernel. just rerun the grub-install and update-grub and dont worry about grub related files
[00:17] <soul> Hello I have a question regarding of my radio tray. It shows playing a music with the title but I can't hear anything sound from radio tray. My audio works fine by the way, only my radio tray does not.
[00:18] <escott> MoleMan, so verify that you have the kernel and initrd where they should be in /boot and then let grub-install and update-grub fix the rest of the problems
[00:20] <MoleMan> need another initramfs or not?
[00:21] <escott> MoleMan, it wont hurt
[00:21] <prakas> why openjdk-6-jre takes 100% cpu when using vuze? a bug?
[00:22] <tristan3199us> actionparsnip: any ideas to what is happening??
[00:22]  * MoleMan prays
[00:23] <ActionParsnip> tristan3199us: not sure but keep hold of that URL.
[00:24] <jschall> how do i get rid of xorg-edgers? ppa-purge goes nuts and wants to hose my system
[00:25] <dns53> jschall there is a tool called ppa-purge to remove any packages installed by a ppa and install the standard version
[00:25] <MoleMan> right, it boots, how do i add the existing  partition to the lvm and keep all files?
[00:25] <Jordan_U> !details | jschall
[00:25] <jschall> dns53: and here's what it wants to do: http://pastebin.com/D83X7Z4N
[00:25] <jschall> Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/D83X7Z4N
[00:26] <escott> MoleMan, so at this point since you will be modifying the / partition you will have to work from a livecd because you cannot modify a mounted partition
[00:26] <tristan3199us> actionparsnip: will do.. u think maybe my sound driver has changed??
[00:26] <soul> Hello I have a question regarding of my radio tray. It shows playing a music with the title but I can't hear anything sound from radio tray. My audio works fine by the way, only my radio tray does not.
[00:27] <_numbers> just upgraded to 11.10 and in gnome3 when i go to system settings > display i get an error "Could not get screen information" "RANDR extension is not present"
[00:27] <Sentridoh> hey everyone
[00:27] <_numbers> so i go `sudo apt-get install xrandr` and i get an error "E: Package 'xrandr' has no installation candidate"
[00:27] <dns53> jschall hmm you might have some trouble there, you might have to work out what packages were installed  from that ppa yourself and work out the versions yourself using aptitude
[00:28] <_numbers> "However the following packages replace it:   x11-xserver-utils:i386 x11-xserver-utils"
[00:28] <ActionParsnip> tristan3199us: it will be the same driver, just a different build..
[00:28] <dns53> jschall could you file a bug with ppa-purge?
[00:28] <c_smith_> _numbers, what are you trying to do with xrandr?
[00:28] <_numbers> i just want to open the Display settings from System Settings
[00:28] <c_smith_> _numbers, you might try installing libxrandr
[00:29] <c_smith_> _numbers, aside from that, I don't know that xrandr can be installed by itself. and I'm pretty sure Xrandr is just a library.
[00:29] <_numbers> libxrandr2 is already the newest version.
[00:29] <_numbers> it used to be a binary
[00:29] <c_smith_> _numbers, then you have it.
[00:30] <c_smith_> _numbers, but I'd try installing the packages that it lists that replace what you are trying to install.
[00:30] <jschall> dns53: i don't have the first clue how to resolve this manually...
[00:30] <MoleMan> escott: ok, the last bit i had to do from busybox but im not sure it will work for next bit due to limited functionality  will desktop livecd do\?
[00:31] <c_smith_> _numbers, if it says they are installed, chance are you already have it.
[00:31] <escott> MoleMan, What last bit?
[00:31] <_numbers> x11-xserver-utils is already the newest version.
[00:31] <_numbers> i have it in /usr/bin/xrandr
[00:31] <_numbers> maybe i need to run it
[00:31] <MoleMan> fixing the boot
[00:31] <_numbers> "RandR extension missing"
[00:31] <escott> MoleMan, but it does boot at this point
[00:31] <MoleMan> yes
[00:32] <_numbers> maybe after upgrade i need to reinstall nvidia driver
[00:32] <c_smith_> _numbers, give me a second.
[00:32] <escott> MoleMan, and its booting to a complete system with the new boot partition. You could verify by umounting the /boot and removing any files in the /boot folder that was hidden underneath the partition
[00:33] <overclucker> jschall: apt-get remove the package, apt-get autoremove, remove the ppa from /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ ; apt-get update; apt-get install package
[00:33] <dns53> jschall  bring up aptitude, go to the package, down the bottom of each package screen is a list of versions available
[00:33] <bobo37774> How to reset dconf settings and recreate  ~/.config/dconf?
[00:33] <dsnyders> Hi all!  Where do you put nameserver addresses now that /etc/resolv.conf can be overwritten at a whim by the network manager?
[00:33] <dns53>  jschall are you using a versison of ppa-purge from the ppa-purge ppa?
[00:33] <c_smith_> _numbers, ok, try installing "Grandr" then run Grandr when it's done.
[00:34] <jschall> dns53: no
[00:34] <MoleMan> yes
[00:34] <c_smith_> _numbers, just so you know, Grandr is a GTK interface for Xrandr.
[00:34] <_numbers> Xlib:  extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0".
[00:34] <_numbers> RandR extension missing
[00:34] <_numbers> thats what grandr says
[00:34] <c_smith_> _numbers, ok, I'm stumped here, give me a second to google this.
[00:35] <jschall> dns53: should i be?
[00:35] <ActionParsnip> dsnyders: in network manager
[00:35] <_numbers> one site says Xinerama and RandR are rivals
[00:35] <_numbers> i am using xinerama
[00:35] <ActionParsnip> dsnyders: set the interface to DHCP (address only) and you can specify DNS servers manually
[00:35] <escott> MoleMan, in that case then you need to boot the livecd (and it might be helpful to have a gui for the next bit). And in the livecd you can take your backups and being the process of migrating to the lvm partitions
[00:36] <mou> who escott
[00:36] <jschall> dns53: i see no ppa-purge ppa
[00:36] <dns53> jschall it might work better than the included version
[00:36] <bobo37774> I tried to reset gnome-panel by deleting  ~/.config/dconf and ~/.config/gnome-panel.  Now I do not know how to recreate them. Anybody  know?
[00:36] <dsnyders> ActionParsnip, the interface needs to be static.  Besides, I can't edit it.
[00:36] <ActionParsnip> dsnyders: you mean the IP must be static?
[00:37]  * MoleMan goes CD hunting  again
[00:37] <dsnyders> ActionParsnip, Yes, sorry about that.
[00:37] <c_smith_> _numbers, if tat's the case. I'd be careful with what you do, conflicting apps have the very real possibility of breaking a system, especially ones that integrate with an important part like X.org.
[00:38] <_numbers> "You need to enable the composite extension in your xorg.conf file."
[00:38] <_numbers> i have that disabled
[00:38] <_numbers> i have 4 monitors
[00:38] <c_smith_> _numbers, try enabling it then.
[00:39] <ActionParsnip> dsnyders: thats fine, you can set both IP and DNS in network manager
[00:39] <_numbers> ya i'll experiment. it wasn't working before but maybe now that i upgraded. trying bbl
[00:39] <c_smith_> _numbers, then reboot and see what happens. if anything goes wrong, come back here.
[00:39] <jschall> far as i can tell, ppa-purge is useless and resolving this manually is borderline impossible
[00:39] <overclucker> ActionParsnip: i bet it won't let him edit it
[00:40] <dsnyders> ActionParsnip, Where/how?  The edit button is greyed out.
[00:40] <_numbers> gnome terminal command for logout?
[00:41] <c_smith_> _numbers, sorry, can't help you there as I have no clue myself,
[00:41] <c_smith_> _numbers, keep telling myself to look that up.
[00:41] <_numbers> `service gdm restart` # doesnt work in 11.10 anymore
[00:41] <_numbers> whats the service called now
[00:42] <aztek[tum]> lightdm
[00:42] <escott> _numbers, gnome-session-quit?
[00:42] <_numbers> ok thx
[00:42] <c_smith_> _numbers, you might try 'service lightdm restart'
[00:43] <Daekdroom> You need sudo to use service command
[00:43] <overclucker> dsnyders: you can add a second interface which you can edit, though it doesn't fix the weird behavior of the ifupdown interface
[00:44] <zsolt_> hello.i made a user with shell /bin/false.can't kick it off nor deluser,because it currently logged in
[00:44] <federated_life> Hi Guys, whenever I ssh to a remote box it takes like 10 seconds for the password prompt to appear...before when I was using puttycm/putty, it was immediate, is there a delay that can be disabled?
[00:44] <helpdesk> @zsolt_ reboot and then terminate
[00:45] <overclucker> dsnyders: on my system i that's what i've done. new static interface, ifupdown disabled
[00:45] <helpdesk> federated_life: it may be the speed of your switch, did you change ports?
[00:46] <randomnewb> Is there a file system I should use for 1000s of files in a directory?
[00:46] <federated_life> nope, all network connections are the same
[00:46] <zsolt_> i know,that would be the easyest way.but what will happen,if this situation is on a production server?
[00:46] <ActionParsnip> dsnyders: is it for a wired connection?
[00:46] <ActionParsnip> overclucker: works here..
[00:46] <federated_life> yep, wired
[00:46] <federated_life> the user prompt comes up immediately
[00:46] <switchtech> zsolt_: aaah. hmmm let me check
[00:47] <dsnyders> ActionParsnip, Yes.  My eth0 somehow disappeared and overclucker helped me get it back, but it is now called ifupdown (eth0),  and I cannot edit it.
[00:47] <MoleMan> escott: right, i have ubutu desktop liveccd, what now?
[00:47] <switchtech> zsolt_: try this http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-linux-kill-and-logout-users.html
[00:47] <Jordan_U> randomnewb: In only one directory, or many directories with many (presumably small) files? What is your actual use case?
[00:48] <zsolt_> thank you
[00:48] <switchtech> the power of google
[00:48] <escott> MoleMan, take whatever backups you need, and then decide what approach to take
[00:48] <Drone4four> /proc/kcore has pushed my root partition to it's limit....file size view in konqueror says that kcore is taking up 131,000+ GBs. see here: http://picpaste.com/pics/kcore-VoFGLPYD.1329007655.png
[00:48] <zsolt_> funny,didn't help
[00:48] <Drone4four> i couldn't even save the 300kb png image to my home directory because apparently, "the disk is full"
[00:48] <switchtech> federated_life: are you connecting through terminal?
[00:48] <escott> MoleMan, (a) you can copy the data to a spare drive then create a new lvm partition to replace the existing / partition and then create a volume and copy the data back
[00:49] <federated_life> yes terminal
[00:49] <switchtech> and its the password req that takes a min to show?
[00:49] <federated_life> yep, like 5-10 secs
[00:49] <ActionParsnip> dsnyders: you can use /etc/network/interfaces   to set the IP, you can then manually populate /etc/resolv.conf    and uninstall network manager if you never want to use wifi easily...
[00:49] <escott> MoleMan, or (b) shrink the ext4, create the lvm, create the volume, move the data from the shrunken ext4 to the lvm, remove the ext4, grow the lvm
[00:50] <switchtech> seems like that is the "handshake" portion of the connection. Had the same prob with a older version of debian.
[00:50] <switchtech> have you tried updating openssh-server?
[00:50] <federated_life> I haven't, Ill give that a shot
[00:50] <SirLinux`> finnaly i got my new CD's of ubuntu hehe :D
[00:50] <SirLinux`> http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/s720x720/418782_342500049117653_2042010157_n.jpg
[00:51] <MoleMan> escott: oh fun. thats approx 140GB to transfer from one drive to another then
[00:51] <escott> MoleMan, yep. i dont know of any other way to do it though
[00:51] <escott> MoleMan, you could google around but what i saw suggested this is the only way
[00:51] <SirLinux`> 7 euros for 5 cd's set how awesome that can be
[00:51]  * SirLinux` in love with ubuntu
[00:52] <overclucker> dsnyders, ActionParsnip: /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf is you;ll want to edit to make the changes stick
[00:52] <randomnewb> It's a picture collection, that has many files that can be sorted in to sub directories, but some of the directories could still have 1000s of files and it is not a static collection.
[00:52] <escott> Drone4four, /proc is a virtualfs nothing there should take actual disk space
[00:53] <switchtech> randomnewb: looks like a problem for a B-Tree enabled filesystem... have you tried ext4
[00:53] <randomnewb> I am using ext4.
[00:54] <ActionParsnip> overclucker: if you use interfaces file, network manager will not be able to manage the interface
[00:54] <switchtech> are you looking for a better way to index the files?
[00:54] <Drone4four> escott, yes, that's what the first links on Google say about kcore, but how then do you explain the "disk full" error message?  What is taking up all the space on my / partition?  Konqueror's file size view points to kcore
[00:54] <escott> Drone4four, i dont know but its not /proc
[00:54] <federated_life> switchtech: already have the newest per apt-get of both server and client openssh
[00:55] <dsnyders> ActionParsnip, I'll take that under advisement.  However, it was all working pretty harmoniously at one point (before I moved).
[00:55] <MoleMan> escott: how do i get lvms betwwen live cd & installation? just recreate?
[00:55] <escott> MoleMan, you'll have to create the lvm partition and then create the volumes within that partition
[00:56] <switchtech> federated_life: Try this http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-linux-kill-and-logout-users.html

[01:00] <mkultra_> yeah no kidding lol
[01:00] <switchtech> randomnewb: your using it...
[01:01] <switchtech> check out the time complexity for B-tree in best and worst cast on wikipedia...
[01:01] <Yabden> use a potato battery instead of a typical power supply
[01:01] <switchtech> randomnewb: O(nlogn) i think...
[01:01] <Rahail-M> almoxarife i do not know how lol
[01:01] <Rahail-M> Yabden i mean by not big powersupply
[01:02] <switchtech> federated_life: that work better for ya?
[01:02] <Rahail-M> small one where a small backup can run it because I need to set few desktop for small coumunity where they have pwoer propblems

[01:03] <federated_life> switchtech: nope, restart ssh and set the value in sshd_config ( GSSAPIAuthentication no )
[01:03] <almoxarife> Rahail-M: even on batts you would need to recharge, solar? give the kids a merry--go-round attached to a generator?
[01:03] <nachi> adios
[01:03] <mrred> hi
[01:03] <overclucker> ActionParsnip: actually, i just found that removing the wired connection from /etc/network/interfaces remove the ifupdown interface, so there's proof that you're right
[01:03] <mkultra_> did that help u zenon_
[01:04] <Rahail-M> almoxarife yes
[01:04] <mrred> how is everyone?
[01:04] <zenon_> I'v not tred it yet
[01:04] <Drone4four> escott, the numbers don't add up: http://picpaste.com/pics/Baobab-7JajECMM.1329008630.png

[01:04] <nisanona> list!
[01:04] <scanuks> hi , wanna see funny linux joke . http://9gag.com/gag/2594785 .dont forget to vote
[01:05] <escott> Drone4four, yeah thats not unusual, lots of reasons like virtualfs, sparse files, etc
[01:05] <precubcr> how do you reset yor password with NickServ ?
[01:05] <almoxarife> Rahail-M: but if you are serious look at the USB self contained thing some brit company just came out with, forget the name of the thing, cost aprox $35 USD
[01:05] <escott> Drone4four, and it may be seeing all that stuff in /mnt and thinking it is part of / as well
[01:06] <Fuchs> precubcr: /msg nickserv help set password when still identified, else: asking staff in #freenode
[01:06] <precubcr> thx Fuchs
[01:06] <federated_life> switchtech: its get stuck at determining realm for numeric host...maybe its my dns or smth ( http://codepad.org/YTPXeNqs )
[01:07] <zenon_> command not found?
[01:07] <urlin2u> scanuks, mmmm spam.
[01:07] <Rahail-M> almoxarife ok i wish you could tell me the name
[01:07] <zenon_> gnome-volume-control
[01:07] <zenon_> gnome-volume-control: command not found
[01:07] <switchtech> federated_life: do you have a static ip set on the SSH server?
[01:07] <scanuks> urlin2u: not spam its funny :D
[01:07] <federated_life> yes its static
[01:07] <mkultra_> do you run xubuntu or lubuntu or kubuntu?
[01:07] <zenon_> brain fart!
[01:08] <urlin2u> scanuks, lol spam on this channel. :)
[01:08] <mkultra_> if you dont you dont have a sound package installed
[01:08] <zenon_> whats the differences?
[01:08] <zenon_> or ideal behins each?
[01:08] <mkultra_> they run different programs
[01:08] <zenon_> ?
[01:08] <mkultra_> xfce's sound manager is not the same command as kde or lxde
[01:08] <zenon_> whats for what?
[01:09] <mkultra_> to fix your sound?
[01:09] <mkultra_> the mixer is first place i would look to fix it
[01:09] <almoxarife> Rahail-M: http://tech.slashdot.org/story/11/05/06/122233/a-25-pc-on-a-usb-stick
[01:10] <zenon_> it's old soundcard with joystick/MIDI serial port
[01:10] <switchtech> federated_life: try adding the server to the hosts file
[01:10] <switchtech> federated_life: /etc/hosts
[01:11] <zenon_> I found this http://www.opensound.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=4200
[01:11] <federated_life> switchtech: yes, its much faster when adding the ip to the hosts file, however I have like 200 servers to connect to
[01:12] <switchtech> it may be your dns? i take it that its on WAN right?
[01:12] <federated_life> nope, on a lan
[01:12] <randomnewb> Did some comparisons of filesystems, it's the huge amount of files making things slow.  Would having an SSD help here?
[01:12] <switchtech> federated_life: dedicated DNS server?
[01:13] <federated_life> private dns's
[01:13] <switchtech> federated_life: update the A records?
[01:13] <Rahail-M> almoxarife thank you
[01:13] <raido_> does anyone here use TrueCrypt?
[01:13] <federated_life> I won't be able to update the a records on the dns servers...odd thing is that it worked perfeclty from windows and putty
[01:13] <Rahail-M> any toher opttion that can be used to run ubuntu... sb?
[01:14] <Rahail-M> sbc
[01:14] <urlin2u> raido, 3rd party but whats up
[01:14] <raido_> I have a laptop with Ubuntu installed on it and I'm trying to encrypt the entire drive.  I can open the Volume Creation Wizard but I don't see the option to encrypt the entire drive
[01:14] <raido_> That option is missing.
[01:15] <switchtech> radio_: used to, but they did not release all their sorce code... use cryptsetup instead now...
[01:15] <raido_> Using this tutorial...  http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/6169/use-truecrypt-to-secure-your-data/
[01:15] <switchtech> radio_: http://sites.google.com/site/nuxnbolts/lujyfwapvu/cryptsetup
[01:15] <urlin2u> raido, are you sure you need to, if it breaks you may be a bit of trouble.
[01:15] <urlin2u> in
[01:16] <raido_> well, since it's a laptop I'd like to encrypt the entire thing since it's a mobile device and more prone to theft
[01:16] <raido_> thank you for the link
[01:16] <switchtech> federated_life: I think the terminal uses an additional check to "verify" the server it is connecting to...
[01:16] <raido_> looking at it now
[01:16] <MoleMan> escott: once data is in a lvm virtual device or whatever it is on the live cd how can i open it in my installation? doesnt the virtual storage have to be created in the OS it will be used in?
[01:17] <urlin2u> raido, faulty reasoning but hey its your data. ;)
[01:17] <federated_life> switchtech: ok I got it...adding GSSAPIAuthentication no to the local ~/.ssh/config file does it
[01:17] <escott> MoleMan, once you have moved the data you should chroot in again, make sure the lvm2 utils are installed and update the fstab, and also update-grub again
[01:17] <escott> MoleMan, and update-initramfs
[01:17] <switchtech> federated_life: wunderbar!~
[01:17] <federated_life> thanks for the help
[01:17] <switchtech> np
[01:17] <zsolt> if i delete a user's line from /etc/passwd is it equal to deluser user?
[01:17] <Drone4four> escott, solution found: http://picpaste.com/pics/xsession-errors-01iqMkwj.1329009454.png
[01:18] <Drone4four> it was .xsession-errors
[01:18] <Drone4four> 53GBs
[01:18] <raido_> urlin2u, what are the risks?  Is it really that dangerous?
[01:18] <mr_crunchy> yooo hi
[01:18] <escott> MoleMan, you may need to do something like add mod_md to your /etc/modules
[01:18] <MoleMan> escott: so when i chroot i have to create the virtual groups again?
[01:19] <escott> MoleMan, virtualgroups?
[01:19] <urlin2u> raido, if it breaks and your locked out it is not easy and may cost a lot of money to get in if even possible.
[01:19] <raido_> urlin2u, oh I see
[01:19] <switchtech> radio_: you can always try spideroak if you want an online solution, however it is still an issue if you forget your password...
[01:20] <raido_> urlin2u, I have backups of my data so if I messed up my laptop I could recover it (it would be a pain though)
[01:20] <raido_> switchtech,  thanks I've never heard of that one but I'll look it up
[01:20] <switchtech> radio_: https://spideroak.com/
[01:20] <urlin2u> raido, I would have backups for sure, sounds more reasonable if you do.
[01:21] <abs> i have been trying to instal the iwlwifi and each time i type make i get awarning $shell not set to bash and it never executes
[01:21] <overclucker> raido_: that option is missing on linux
[01:21] <abs> anyone can help ?
[01:21] <switchtech> show ip arp | include Gi7/17
[01:21] <switchtech> whoops wrong terminal....
[01:22] <raido_> overclucker,   ah that would explain it
[01:22] <zenon_> xubuntu xfce lubuntu lxde kubuntu kde, right or wrong?
[01:22] <raido_> overclucker,   I kept thinking that I installed it improperly or that the option was hidden somewhere,  I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong
[01:22] <urlin2u> raido, you familiar with clonezilla?
[01:23] <mr_crunchy> quick question: I'm installing unbutu, is that helpfull for node.js i guess?
[01:23] <raido_> urlin2u,  no, what is it?
[01:23] <urlin2u> raido, it will clone HD's and partitions.
[01:23] <raido_> urlin2u,  ah, okay  I've been using HD clone
[01:23] <urlin2u> and the mbr is included
[01:23] <raido_> urlin2u,  I'll check it out   thanks :)
[01:24] <urlin2u> raido, no problem.
[01:24] <abs> so anyone ?
[01:24] <overclucker> raido_: check out LUKS with dm-crypt if you want encrypted partitions
[01:24] <chalcedony> *hugs* ActionParsnip :)
[01:25] <ActionParsnip> hi chalcedony
[01:25] <switchtech> abs: LMGTFY
[01:25] <abs> what ?
[01:25] <abs> switchtech what is lmgtfy
[01:25] <ActionParsnip> abs: let me google that for you = LMGTFY
[01:25] <Rahail-M> What are the other SBC can I use.. with UBUNTo desktop
[01:26] <raido_> overclucker,  will that allow my to encrypt my entire hard drive, or just create an encrypted partition?
[01:26] <ActionParsnip> Rahail-M: what is an SBC?
[01:26] <Rahail-M> board with out HD and PS
[01:26] <escott> raido, why do you care which one it is?
[01:26] <Rahail-M> just nomral ps
[01:26] <ActionParsnip> Rahail-M: so like a thin client?
[01:26] <switchtech> abs: (Let me google that for you) - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=906865&highlight=can+-get+wireless+card+to+even+show+up

[01:27] <wessel> How do I boot from a USB pen drive? I disabled boot from HDD in the bios, and enabled USB, but still grub loads instead of the usb
[01:27] <abs> ActionParsnipah ok :D thanks
[01:27] <raido_> escott:   I'd like to set it up so that whoever starts my laptop has to enter the password before the OS boots
[01:27] <Rahail-M> like those option now days use by set top box
[01:27] <raido_> escott:   If that's possible on linux
[01:27] <abs> switchtech thanks
[01:27] <switchtech> np
[01:28] <raido_> escott:   I know the IT guys at my company have our laptops setup this way, but they use windows OS, not linux
[01:28] <SirLinux> hello guys, any ideea how i upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10 with the cd i purchased from ubuntu ?
[01:28] <ActionParsnip> Rahail-M: something like: http://www.disklessworkstations.com/   is that what you mean?
[01:29] <urlin2u> SirLinux, you can't use the standard path?
[01:29] <ActionParsnip> SirLinux: boot to the oneiric CD, upgrade will be an option
[01:29] <Rahail-M> ActionParsnip nope
[01:29] <Rahail-M> something like settop box
[01:29] <Rahail-M> beagleboard
[01:29] <Rahail-M> no idea
[01:29] <SirLinux> is nothing about upgrade when restarting the notebook and booting the cd
[01:29] <escott> raido, the dmcrypt way is to have a kernel that loads but  a rootfs that is encrypted so you can "boot" a kernel but its not going anywhere
[01:29] <SirLinux> i get only install and try demo
[01:29] <ActionParsnip> Rahail-M: if you don't know how do you expect anyone else to?
[01:30] <urlin2u> SirLinux, never have done it but it must be in the install gui's
[01:30] <urlin2u> from the desktop
[01:31] <switchtech> Rahail-M: not quite what you are looking for but try the Intel Essentials Series...
[01:31] <SirLinux> gksu "sh /media/cdrom/cdromupgrade"
[01:31] <SirLinux> done i find out how to do it
[01:31] <switchtech> or the Asus EEEPc
[01:31] <quiescens> raido_: most systems probably allow you to set a power on password in the bios setup anyway if all you want is a password
[01:31] <chalcedony> my husband's ubuntu 10.10 the bottom bar seems to be shoving all the icons way off to the right, he doesnt know what he did, and can't tell me. how can i fix it?

[01:32] <chalcedony> :)
[01:32] <SirLinux> got my new cd's with ubuntu dear
[01:32] <raido_> escott:   I think I understand.  The kernel will load but the rootfs won't mount without the password?  Is that right?
[01:32] <ActionParsnip> SirLinux: so you don't get this option: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1QSDkzYY2vc/TZbVz-pmRKI/AAAAAAAAD1E/SZp2D-lZ8PM/s2000/upgrade-ubuntu11.04-livecd.png

[01:32] <SirLinux> got it ActionParsnip , thanks for your time
[01:33] <mkultra_> pukedy puke id stick with 10.10 for a little bit longer lol
[01:33] <overclucker> raido_: and many laptops will give you trouble when it comes to clearing cmos
[01:33] <mkultra_> 11.04 seems rough, and 11.10 def needs moar development
[01:33] <zenon_> I not sure what laptop to get for linux
[01:33] <chalcedony> mkultra_, agreed
[01:33] <pkkid> Can someone help me figure out this forest of new window managers.  Basically I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 via Virtualbox on Win7 host in Seamless Mode.  I always used to run Gnome2 (2D mode works great).  But all these new window managers seem to run 3D mode and its really screwy in Virtualbox.
[01:33] <urlin2u> mkultra_, 11.04 to 11.10
[01:33] <Zilly> i hate 11.10 UI
[01:34] <raialomas> prova
[01:34] <mkultra_> my other pc had both in 1 day, it was a flipping mess
[01:34] <raialomas> !lisr
[01:34] <ActionParsnip> mkultra_: maverick is EOL in april, so you'll get no support or upgrades for Maverick
[01:34] <raialomas> !list
[01:34] <raido_> overclucker:  eek  I didn't know I had to clear the CMOS when installing truecrypt
[01:34] <pkkid> Cinnamon looks amazing to me, but it seems that is also a 3D window manager?
[01:34] <ActionParsnip> Zilly: don't use it
[01:34] <switchtech> brb
[01:34] <urlin2u> pkkid, 12.04 is #ubuntu+1
[01:34] <mkultra_> EOL u gotta be kidding
[01:34] <pkkid> urlin2u, thanks
[01:34] <srini> How to configure Android phone as modem in Ubuntu ??
[01:34] <ActionParsnip> mkultra_: not kidding
[01:34] <mkultra_> they better extend it and fix the 11 series
[01:34] <zenon_> hard lesson
[01:35] <SirLinux> weird is not working
[01:35] <ActionParsnip> mkultra_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases
[01:35] <SirLinux> gksu "sh /media/cdrom/cdromupgrade" <-- it doesnt open anything
[01:35] <mkultra_> they EOL maverick im going to debian and telling chrome os im not gonna polish ubuntu no more
[01:35] <ActionParsnip> mkultra_: why not switch DE, Lubuntu runs flawlessly here
[01:35] <SirLinux> if i use a external dvd rom, is that a problem for that cmd ?
[01:36] <chalcedony> what's the bottom bar called?
[01:36] <ActionParsnip> SirLinux: as long as its mounted, the physicallity of the drive is irrelevant
[01:36] <mkultra_> i run xfce
[01:36] <urlin2u> SirLinux, are you not using a live cd not the alternative
[01:36] <Latco> hey guys. is there a way to disable runlevel 1 completely and irreversibily without having to recompile the kernel?
[01:36] <SirLinux> is mounted ofcourse
[01:36] <ActionParsnip> SirLinux: afaik, the alternate CD has that feature
[01:36] <SirLinux> is the cd i've got from ubuntu
[01:37] <mkultra_> i can actually do any DE i like its just 11 series was way way way too buggy for my tastes, especially the new kernel one
[01:37] <_numbers> im trying to figure out unity
[01:37] <mkultra_> nux 3.0
[01:37] <mkultra_> yeah unity needs alot of work
[01:37] <_numbers> im pressing some key and unity's dock is staying open
[01:37] <ActionParsnip> mkultra_: try precise,its pretty decent imho
[01:37] <SirLinux> a friend of mine upgraded the ubuntu with a cd like mine, he told me that is a cmd ..
[01:37] <_numbers> how do i get the dock to close
[01:37] <urlin2u> SirLinux, if it syas try ubuntu that is alive cd not the alternative.
[01:37] <_numbers> i mean the dash*
[01:38] <overclucker> raido_: no, you dont have to. just a comment on bios passwords being troublesome to reset on laptops
[01:38] <mkultra_> i wouldnt exactly say gnome 3 is stable yet
[01:38] <ActionParsnip> mkultra_: then use KDE...
[01:38] <mkultra_> this is a laptop lxde or xfce only im not gonna put that monster on here lol
[01:38] <urlin2u> SirLinux, besides ActionParsnip gave you the info to use that cd hit the install and choose the uopgrade when asked, the install from the dektop not at the boot.
[01:39] <urlin2u> desktop
[01:39] <mkultra_> i like the kde 3.5 feel, was very doze 2k style
[01:39] <SirLinux> it doesnt pop up urlin2u
[01:39] <wessel> How do I check if grub is installed on a usb pen drive?
[01:39] <raido_> overclucker:  ah, okay
[01:39] <SirLinux> i saw the link he gave me, but i dont see such menu nowhere
[01:39] <urlin2u> SirLinux, you on the desktop
[01:39] <SirLinux> notebook
[01:40] <mkultra_> i use a usb keyboard on my laptop lol
[01:40] <mkultra_> mac keyboard with usb hub, works great under linux
[01:40] <ActionParsnip> mkultra_: lxde has the kde 3.5 feel
[01:40] <urlin2u> SirLinux, desktop I mean the ubuntu desktop if you hit thr indtall about 4 guis in you will see that picture asking you how you want to install.
[01:40] <mkultra_> yeah LXDE is looking a bit more tasteful for the 11 series of ubuntus
[01:41] <SirLinux> if i hit thr indtall about 4 guis ?
[01:41] <mkultra_> dont know about 12, but i want my gnome working correctly
[01:41] <SirLinux> i'm lost ..
[01:41] <urlin2u> SirLinux, just to be safe here you aren't running a wubi are you?
[01:41] <ActionParsnip> mkultra_: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/Desktop.png ;)
[01:41] <SirLinux> hmm i think its wubi lol
[01:41] <Toph2> under 11.10, what keystroke brings up the desltop, or how do you bring it up otherwise?
[01:41] <bananstol> whitney huston is dead
[01:41] <bananstol> O_o
[01:41] <SirLinux> if you are talking about cd
[01:42] <mkultra_> lol thats hideous ActionParsnip
[01:42] <_numbers> i cant get Super-W to do anything, but Super-S does
[01:42] <ActionParsnip> bananstol: how is that ubuntu related
[01:42] <escott> raido_, yes
[01:42] <urlin2u> SirLinux, you don't use wubi's longterm nor do you upgrade them, at least not exspecting a solid system.
[01:42] <ActionParsnip> mkultra_: works well, uses 300Mb RAM for the whole lot
[01:42] <bananstol> ActionParsnip: it isn't, obviously
[01:42] <mkultra_> http://img683.imageshack.us/img683/4010/darksideo.jpg
[01:42] <zenon_> is she?
[01:42] <ActionParsnip> bananstol: then its offtopic here
[01:43] <zenon_> I was totaly doing the bodyform screams earyer!
[01:43] <ActionParsnip> mkultra_: too dark, and too much going on
[01:43] <cfhowlett> urlin2u: one broken wubi taught me to quit fooling around and learn to dual-boot properly.  Haven't had a boot problems since I made the switch.
[01:43] <escott> raido_, the only weakness i can imagine in that is someone who has physical access might install their own kernel that acts like a normal kernel but funnels all the data to their servers. but thats a weakness in truecrypt too. you just need a bios
[01:43] <mkultra_> very dark for basement dungeon use
[01:43] <SirLinux> the thing is urlin2u , how i make this upgrade start
[01:43] <urlin2u> cfhowlett, the designer of wubi even says not to use it long term
[01:44] <SirLinux> i'm on ubuntu 11.04 right now, i want to go on 11.10 from that cd

[01:44] <SirLinux> is it possible ?
[01:44] <urlin2u> SirLinux, you don't you don't upgrade a wubi install.
[01:44] <mkultra_> my docks a bit more cleaned up now since i got cairo dock going
[01:44] <_numbers> where is the minimize icon in unity when a window is maximized already
[01:44] <ActionParsnip> SirLinux: you'll need to do it online with wubi.
[01:44] <SirLinux> i think i'm gonna upgrade it from updates
[01:45] <SirLinux> is the same thing right ?
[01:45] <mkultra_> yeah
[01:45] <mkultra_> id personally wipe and do a cd install
[01:45] <urlin2u> SirLinux, take a read of what the designer of wubi himself says. http://howsoftwareisbuilt.com/2009/03/12/interview-with-agostino-russo-wubi-ubuntu/
[01:45] <mkultra_> and partition your hard drive for a /home storage drive so you can easily wipe the system in the future
[01:46] <_numbers> oh there's no minimize in unity?
[01:46] <SirLinux> u know what i'm gonna do, upgrade it directly from update manager
[01:46] <SirLinux> cd or update manager, is the same right ?
[01:46] <zenon_> nice setup mkultra
[01:47] <mkultra_> ty zenon_
[01:47] <switchtech> SirLinux: you may just break it... make sure to backup
[01:47] <raido_> escott:  Okay, ty for the info.
[01:48] <switchtech> SirLinux: after the backup you can just type #sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[01:48] <_numbers> unity totally sucks
[01:48] <ActionParsnip> _numbers: don't use it
[01:48] <mkultra_> i dont like unity
[01:48] <_numbers> alternatives? i miss gnome 2
[01:48] <mkultra_> its not polished enough for my tastes, they are reinventing the wheel
[01:48] <_Marcus> Where can I get VBoxGuestAdditions.iso for Ubuntu?
[01:48] <mkultra_> cairo dock
[01:48] <ActionParsnip> _numbers: please, list all the other apps you think suck, we're all super interested.....
[01:49] <ActionParsnip> _numbers: kde, xfce, lxde, E17
[01:49] <p4ch0> I agree ... unity sucks
[01:49] <switchtech> ActionParsnip: allowance to pontificate?
[01:49] <_Marcus> Unity? Isn't that the new desktop?
[01:49] <ActionParsnip> _Marcus: its downloaded by virtualbox itself
[01:49] <Toph2> under 11.10, what keystroke brings up the desltop, or how do you bring it up otherwise?
[01:49] <_Marcus> ActionParsnip: But I need to put it into the CD drive of virtual box
[01:49] <ActionParsnip> _Marcus: its a shell for Gnome Desktop
[01:50] <ActionParsnip> _Marcus: yes, let the app download it, then turn off the VM and have it mounted at boot and you can use it
[01:50] <mkultra_> lol someone logging in with the name root
[01:50] <ActionParsnip> !rootirc | Guest24414
[01:51] <mkultra_> yeah thats why the LOL about it
[01:51] <srini> How to configure Android phone as modem in mint ??
[01:51] <srini> How to configure Android phone as modem in ubuntu/mint ??
[01:51] <_Marcus> srini: Is it Ubuntu, or is it Mint?
[01:52] <ActionParsnip> srini: mint isn't supported here
[01:52] <ActionParsnip> !mint | srini
[01:52] <ActionParsnip> srini: different server all together
[01:52] <Ho^Oh> Does Ubuntu AltInstaller allow me to SSH to it so I can continue/finish installing Ubuntu server?
[01:52] <zenon_> thanks for info, adios!
[01:52] <srini> i want to configure in ubuntu
[01:52] <MonkeyDust> srini  remember: the whole channel goes berserk by only *mentioning* the word mint
[01:53] <switchtech> Ho^ho: sure does... just make sure you install the ssh package on the installer screen...
[01:53] <ActionParsnip> srini: then why say Mint first...starnge that. I'd say you were after mint support.
[01:53] <Mish-> I'm installing 11.10 on a Dell R710 with a PERC 6i controller.  Non-LVM partitions are fine, but only the "last" listed LVM partition in fstab is mounted, the others fail.  I can "fix" this by dropping to a console and running "vgchange -a y" then "mount -a".
[01:53] <Mish-> To me it looks like a race condition, but I'd appreciate any help from anyone with experience with LVM on boot issues.
[01:53] <Mish-> Any thoughts?
[01:53] <_Marcus> MonkeyDust: What if they say "mint" as in "mint gum"
[01:54] <_numbers> sudo apt-get install xfce4
[01:54] <_numbers> restoring sanity 40% complete
[01:55] <ActionParsnip> _numbers: indeed :)
[01:55] <switchtech> _numbers: (Failed at 99%) do you want to reload?
[01:55] <ActionParsnip> _numbers: I prefer apt-fast but its all good
[01:56] <toilet> Hello everyone.  I just started up a blog where I write articles about new technology and things that affect the Linux community.  Would anyone like to see it?
[01:56] <jrib> !ot | toilet
[01:56] <switchtech> hmmmm articles from the toilet... not really...
[01:57] <Ho^Oh> switchtech: but wait a sec,           would I be able to use the terminal drawing interface for setting up RAID0?
[01:58] <toilet> if anyone would like to see my blog, i can send you the url
[01:58] <toilet> there are no ads on it whatsoever
[01:58] <ActionParsnip> toilet: try in #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:58] <switchtech> Ho^oh: you looking for a headless server? then forward the X11 interface to a seperate computer?
[01:59] <switchtech> lol @ toilet. may want to change your name,
[01:59] <switchtech> even if your blog is the S#!T
[01:59] <switchtech> lol
[02:00] <iena_chase_da_ma> hi
[02:00] <Ho^Oh> Wait what? it's just a remote server. It's already headless.          Because it's aimed at Either doing  RAID0          OR        DEBOOTSTRAP,      Not BOTH.
[02:03] <Ho^Oh> Common sense says "just use /dev/md0", seems to work alright, but at the end of the tutorial, my server never comes back online.
[02:03] <switchtech> Ho^Oh: Sry, dont understand the setup.
[02:05] <burnt> hey, im using ubuntu 11.10  and have two monitors, I would like to be able to put a workspace in one monitor and another in another monitor and change work stations at will
[02:05] <burnt> is this possible
[02:06] <Ho^Oh> switchtech: I was using these tutorials: http://www.israelremixteam.com/how-to-set-up-a-software-mdadm-raid-0-array-in-linux-t612.html          http://forum.ovh.co.uk/showthread.php?t=3787
[02:06] <wessel> Can someone help me to remove grub from my USB device, partly the answer seems to be explained here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/how-to-uninstall-grub-from-my-usb-719134/ but I'm still not sure how to proceed
[02:07] <Ho^Oh> I had to change some steps in between tutorial as it doesn't completely fit my situation.
[02:07] <escott> Ho^Oh, are you using mdadm raid or dmraid?
[02:07] <Ho^Oh> mdadm
[02:07] <zingaro> hello?
[02:08] <zingaro> how can i open my usb from ubuntu ??? when i plug it in no pop ups come up????
[02:08] <escott> Ho^Oh, why not just make yourself a non-raid boot partition and make your life substantially easier
[02:08] <switchtech> Ho^oh: now i get it... you may want to go an easier route using the LVM, Read the following and decide for yourself... http://www.linux-mag.com/id/7582/
[02:08] <jmoreira81> anyone know a good tutorial to install hamachi in ubuntu?
[02:09] <mkultra_> zingaro, alt + f2 gnome-terminal
[02:09] <Ho^Oh> escott: Because my friend wanted raid0.
[02:09] <mkultra_> in the terminal type lsusb
[02:09] <Ho^Oh> And for performance benefits.
[02:09] <escott> Ho^Oh, so the boot partition is read once
[02:09] <burnt> what is the movie player process called?
[02:09] <mkultra_> if your device shows up if its like a pen drive nautilus

[02:09] <burnt> ah
[02:09] <burnt> thanks
[02:09] <mkultra_> totem
[02:10] <zew803iffsdf> hi
[02:10] <cfhowlett> burnt: .wmv are not supported by default.  you need the ubuntu-restricted-extras for all codes
[02:10] <mkultra_> wmv lol
[02:10] <switchtech> burnt: or the w32codecs
[02:10] <zingaro> how can i format a usb then put a file in it?
[02:11] <mkultra_> cfdisk /dev/whateverusbis
[02:11] <ActionParsnip> zingaro: use gparted to format it
[02:11] <mkultra_> u might want to run gparted
[02:11] <zew803iffsdf> is this a room or channel?
[02:11] <ActionParsnip> zew803iffsdf: technically a channel
[02:11] <switchtech> zew803iffsdf: yes
[02:12] <zew803iffsdf> The only topic to talk about here is just if we have Ubuntu questions?
[02:12] <ActionParsnip> zew803iffsdf: read the motd when you came in "Official Ubuntu Support Channel"
[02:12] <zew803iffsdf> thanks Action

[02:12] <burnt> is this possible

[02:13] <fellayaboy> what are as0t0 in ifconfig
[02:13] <zew803iffsdf> Do you guys use XChat?
[02:14] <switchtech> zew803iffsdf: irssi - go terminal or go home...
[02:14] <ActionParsnip> zew803iffsdf: some do
[02:14] <ActionParsnip> zew803iffsdf: I use pidgin and irssi
[02:14] <zew803iffsdf> I'm going to look into irssi
[02:15] <jmoreira81> wow people in this room are helpless...
[02:15] <ActionParsnip> jmoreira81: how so?
[02:15] <jmoreira81> ActionParsnip: no one's willing to help
[02:15] <switchtech> jmoreira81: i know a nice russian who would give an arm and a leg to say the same thing...
[02:15] <ActionParsnip> jmoreira81: i've been helping out... as have others
[02:16] <zew803iffsdf> jmoreira81: what's your question?
[02:16] <dRounse> i have a question about a server
[02:16] <holstein> jmoreira81: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9wL3adKdhU
[02:16] <jmoreira81> zew803iffsdf: I'm trying to find good resources on installing hamachi in ubuntu
[02:16] <tarrence> Hi, I have Ubuntu running in a virtual machine on my mac and I want to switch the mapping of ctrl and command keys so that both os's match... How would I go about doing this?
[02:16] <zew803iffsdf> Ok hehe, don't yet konw about hamachi
[02:16] <holstein> tarrence: i would set that in virtualbox
[02:16] <ActionParsnip> tarrence: i'd ask in #vbox too
[02:16] <jmoreira81> yea… i saw that… but i need documented....
[02:17] <switchtech> dRounse: feur frei
[02:17] <Ho^Oh> What makes me mad is that I get bad kernels to work with: <IP_ADDRESS>-xxxx-std-ipv6-64        Like, what the heck?!
[02:17] <tarrence> holstein: ActionParsnip : I'm using VMware Fusion
[02:17] <escott> tarrence, running gnome or unity go to keyboard preferences click on layout and then on the layouts tab click on options
[02:17] <ActionParsnip> jmoreira81: looks like its windows only. What are you trying to achieve?
[02:17] <holstein> tarrence: i would set them in there then.. im not sure where those are in VMware, just Vbox
[02:18] <urlin2u> jmoreira81,  3rd party not a channel norm at the least but lmgtfy, https://www.google.com/search?q=hamachi+ubuntu&btnG=Search&sclient=psy-ab&hl=en&site=webhp&source=hp&gbv=1&sei=_CA3T6voNsiYiAKfwYmlCg
[02:18] <burnt> switchtech, not really, or at least be able to see my panels on both monitors
[02:18] <ActionParsnip> tarrence: then #vmware
[02:18] <jmoreira81> tarrence: tried parallels? the new version rocks compared to wmware
[02:18] <switchtech> burnt: had some of the same frustration, finally went to GDM, (crunchbang distro)
[02:18] <tarrence> jmoreira81: VMWare works great for me.
[02:18] <canurabus> hey... could someone please help me understand a couple of things about themes in ubuntu? I'm trying to use this Gnome 3 theme: http://tiheum.deviantart.com/art/Holo-280076980
[02:18] <fellayaboy> could someone tell me whats as0t0 , 1 , 2 and 3 in ifconfig..does openvpn use thatz??
[02:19] <fellayaboy> i dont see my tun0
[02:19] <Zilly> how doth I maketh another account easily???
[02:19] <jmoreira81> ActionParsnip: I just need to access my network away from home...
[02:19] <dRounse> switchtech: i am building a home/file server and i have two mobos to pick from, i have a celeron d and an amd athlon ii, i need one for my desktop also, i feel like my processor is struggline (celeron d) when i am using file converters for mp3 and watching youtube, which should i use for my server
[02:19] <ActionParsnip> jmoreira81: but to achieve what?
[02:19] <jmoreira81> to work remotely
[02:19] <canurabus> and it kind of works, but the colors are different... ie, the screenshot has a dark background theme. How do I get those same colors in ubuntu?
[02:19] <ActionParsnip> jmoreira81: ok much easier, what apps will you be running?
[02:19] <holstein> dRounse: i would go with the quieter one
[02:20] <holstein> jmoreira81: team viewer is pretty easy, and free for personal use
[02:20] <jmoreira81> ActionParsnip: I need to access my file server… my files...
[02:20] <zew803iffsdf> commands
[02:20] <zew803iffsdf> !help
[02:20] <switchtech> dRounse: old hardware... which is the higher FSB and MHZ for the processor id use for the desktop, make the server a text only version to cut out the overhead... IMHO
[02:20] <holstein> jmoreira81: ssh is how i do that
[02:20] <burnt> switchtech, thanks for the help :) ... its anoying, a seen it setup on a friends
[02:20] <jmoreira81> ActionParsnip: more importantly mysql database
[02:20] <Zilly> how doth I maketh another user account easily???
[02:20] <ActionParsnip> jmoreira81: install openssh-server and you have an SFTP server which you can access your files over the internet securely with
[02:20] <burnt> but cannot ask him, out of the country now
[02:20] <switchtech> burnt: try compiz?
[02:20] <holstein> Zilly: sudo adduser username
[02:20] <jmoreira81> holstein: i use ssh too… but for development is not ideal for database access
[02:21] <ActionParsnip> jmoreira81:how do you interact with your SQL? Do you use terminal?
[02:21] <switchtech> burnt: or kidnap said friend and "acquire" the information...
[02:21] <holstein> jmoreira81: cool... ssh is the tool more prefer.. not sure what you'd rather use... ftp?
[02:21] <urlin2u> zilly or user accounts, you can tick admin there if needed.
[02:21] <urlin2u> Zilly,  ^^
[02:21] <jmoreira81> ActionParsnip: Yes but the CMS i'm using to needs to connect to mysql as well…. it's working well at home...
[02:21] <ModFather> Hi There i got some wierd problems with my ubuntu 11.10 oneiric , i cant ping my boxes, i can ping it from other network but from the same network i cant see each other,
[02:22] <Zilly> I'm using 10.04 and I don't have user accounts
[02:22] <jmoreira81> holstein: SSH is out of context here…. i need an app to access a database...
[02:22] <holstein> ModFather: did you set static IP's?
[02:22] <zew803iffsdf> To create a new user account: 1. Go to System settings ....... 2. Click on User Accounts ........ 3. Click "Unlock" to type your admin password.  ......... 4. Click the "+" button to add a new user.
[02:22] <switchtech> ModFather: gateway issues?
[02:22] <ActionParsnip> Zilly: you have one user account, the one you made when you first created the install...
[02:22] <_Marcus> I have lots of Gnome Desktop programs installed, how do I remove them all with one swift command?
[02:22] <ModFather> holstein: yes they got same ip, sometime i ping with success but when i try same ping same ip i got fail
[02:22] <holstein> jmoreira81: pretty sure thats what most helpful folk here would suggest
[02:22] <holstein> ModFather: they need to have unique IP's
[02:22] <ModFather> switchtech: yes seems to be gateway issues, sometimes i can ping sometimes not. how i can figure out ?
[02:22] <ActionParsnip> jmoreira81: you can VNC over SSH  for a secure connection
[02:22] <_Marcus> "gnome" isn't installed
[02:22] <ModFather> holstein: they have
[02:23] <jmoreira81> holstein: you're not understudying what i need it a VPN for...
[02:23] <jmoreira81> ActionParsnip: how would i access mysql over vnc?
[02:23] <holstein> ModFather: just working through the obvious... how about boxes that are using DHCP?
[02:23] <switchtech> ModFather: is it on the same piece of network gear? (one switch / router)?
[02:23] <Zilly> what should I install to get "user accounts"?
[02:23] <holstein> jmoreira81: you are corret
[02:23] <holstein> correct*
[02:23] <urlin2u> _Marcus, so what do you have, and how did you get there and what have you removed so far?
[02:23] <ActionParsnip> _Marcus: remove libgnome-desktop-3-2 and it should make the rest fail deps and be marked for removal
[02:23] <holstein> !detail | jmoreira81
[02:23] <damo22> jmoreira81: you can forward the mysql port over ssh
[02:23] <loculinux> list
[02:23] <ModFather> holstein its cloud servers from RackSpace Cloud Services
[02:23] <holstein> !details | jmoreira81
[02:24] <ActionParsnip> jmoreira81: however you do it on your desktop now...
[02:24] <ActionParsnip> !vnc | jmoreira81
[02:24] <damo22> jmoreira81: then connect to it like it was on your own machine
[02:24] <_Marcus> urlin2u: I am in CLI, I added the "text" parameter to Grub
[02:24] <dRounse> holstein: well both are pretty quiet and the server will be in a closet type room, its hard to explain but i wont hear it, but is celeron d ok for streaming movies and stuff or will it work too hard? the server chassis has four fans so heat wont be a problem
[02:24] <ModFather> switchtech: yes it is on the same network, same Datacenter, hosted on the same account at cloud servers RackSpaceCloud
[02:24] <jmoreira81> ActionParsnip: gotcha..
[02:24] <jmoreira81> ActionParsnip: let me read that...
[02:25] <ActionParsnip> jmoreira81: if you can find out the command you run to get the app, you can just run the app via terminal and use x forwardig
[02:25] <damo22> jmoreira81: you might not need vnc, if you just need to talk to mysql database from over the internet
[02:25] <jmoreira81> ActionParsnip: thanks for you help… I have to log off; i'm at a starbucks and they're closing.. be back shortly
[02:25] <holstein> jmoreira81: http://blog.bodhizazen.net/linux/how-to-vpn-using-ssh/ https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VPN maybe
[02:25] <ActionParsnip> jmoreira81: the app will run on the server side, but be displayed on your client
[02:25] <switchtech> ModFather: you hope so anyway... it may be their LAN/WAN setup screwing with you. May want to hit rackspace and query for "cluster" support...
[02:25] <_Marcus> ActionParsnip: How do I remove all the extra Gnome applications?
[02:25] <_Marcus> ActionParsnip: Without going through each one
[02:26] <jmoreira81> ActionParsnip: I run all my databases from my ubuntu machine
[02:26] <singkong> i have install plexydesk and then what next to use ?
[02:26] <ModFather> switchtech : they will say again that will be problem from my side, how i can check if their LAN/WAN setup screwing with mine boxes? is any way to figure it out?
[02:26] <ActionParsnip> _Marcus: yes as it will make the others fail deps
[02:26] <escott> _Marcus, you could just remove the xserver and everything that depends on it should go away
[02:26] <_Marcus> ActionParsnip: So what do I do to just remove them?
[02:26] <dRounse> _Marcus: thats hard because some of them have dependencies that might mess with your OS
[02:27] <ActionParsnip> _Marcus: sudo apt-get --purge autoremove
[02:27] <_Marcus> dRounse: Oh well
[02:28] <_Marcus> ActionParsnip: It said it didn't remove anything
[02:29] <ActionParsnip> _Marcus: then remove more gnome stuffs. If you run:  dpkg -l | grep gnome     you can remove stuff
[02:30] <_Marcus> ActionParsnip: Can I do something like "sudo apt-get remove | dpkg -l | grep gnome"?
[02:31] <ActionParsnip> _Marcus: could try:    sudo apt-get --purge remove `dpkg -l | grep gnome`
[02:31] <Simon1245> Hey guys, how can I change like shortcut keys, for example ctrl + C = Copy, is there any way to change it?
[02:31] <_Marcus> ActionParsnip: It tried to remove a bunch of things that were non-existant
[02:31] <Simon1245> I'm used to Windows and on Windows windows key + D = Desktop, is there any way to change it so it's the same on Ubuntu?
[02:32] <iceocean> hello, I have a file which is 60mb, I want to chop it off so that it is only 50mb (discarding the tail end of the file), is there an easy way to do this?
[02:32] <krispaul> Hello
[02:32] <krispaul> Wondering was the metapackage for the ubuntu desktop?
[02:32] <ActionParsnip> Simon1245: default is CTRL+ALT+D
[02:33] <jrib> iceocean: probably dd, cut, or split
[02:34] <jrib> iceocean: oh, check out "truncate" as well
[02:34] <iceocean> jrib, split should work well i think. thanks
[02:34] <iceocean> is split binary safe?
[02:34] <akSeya> guys, when configuring kernel, what could prevent "Flat Memory" to be shown on menuconfig > Kernel Features > Memory model ?
[02:35] <Simon1245> ActionParsnip, thanks, is there any way to change it?
[02:36] <Simon1245> ActionParsnip, Also is there any list where I can find all the shortcuts?
[02:36] <_Marcus> Simon1245: I'm sure ubottu has it but, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KeyboardShortcuts
[02:36] <ActionParsnip> Simon1245: in ccsm I believe its all there, in 12.04 if you hold SuperL down a while, you get the shortcuts displayed
[02:37] <ActionParsnip> Simon1245: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/02/unity-5-2-lands-in-precise-brings-numerous-changes/
[02:37] <ActionParsnip> Simon1245: may help you too
[02:37] <Simon1245> ActionParsnip, _Marcus, Thanks for the links
[02:38] <Simon1245> ActionParsnip, by the way this 12.04 is released already or about to come?
[02:38] <_Marcus> !shortcuts | Simon1245
[02:39] <ActionParsnip> Simon1245: look at the version number, then think about the year ;)
[02:39] <ActionParsnip> Simon1245: its in Alpha2 now
[02:39] <Simon1245> 11.10 = 2011 - august?
[02:39] <_Marcus> Yeah
[02:39] <Simon1245> So 12.04 = April - 2012?
[02:40] <_Marcus> Yup
[02:40] <Simon1245> Ah, I see :D Smart way of making it :D
[02:40] <ActionParsnip> Simon1245: 11.10 = 20(11) october (10)th month
[02:40] <ActionParsnip> Simon1245: makes sense, also easier to know when releases are EOL too
[02:40] <Simon1245> opps my bad I said august lol :D
[02:40] <Simon1245> Oh and they release a new release every 6th month?
[02:41] <Simon1245> I used to use linux for like 2-3 years ago for testing and at that time I heard about it
[02:42] <skilz> I have a VERY VERY VERY ANNOYING problem with alsamixer, when I play a different song the volume raises to 100% each time and blasts my ears with headphones
[02:43] <Simon1245> By the way what button is "Super" key?
[02:43] <ActionParsnip> Simon1245: windows key to you
[02:43] <mkultra_> skilz, you need to set your default alsa mixing volume
[02:43] <Simon1245> Oh
[02:43] <mkultra_> mac key / windows key = "super key"
[02:44] <Simon1245> By the way would it be possible to play Windows game on Linux?
[02:44] <mkultra_> sometimes yes
[02:44] <mkultra_> wine
[02:44] <Simon1245> Is Wine easy to use?
[02:44] <mkultra_> wine tricks installs steam for windows really good on linux, its a little slow for portal though
[02:44] <mkultra_> depends upon what you would define as easy
[02:45] <mkultra_> alt + f2 gnome-terminal
[02:45] <mkultra_> wine dozesux.exe
[02:45] <mkultra_> for your exe files
[02:45] <_Marcus> I don't really see why you would move over from Windows to Ubuntu for gaming purposes.
[02:45] <_Marcus> Wine is good, but it's not great
[02:45] <ActionParsnip> mkultra_: or press CTRL+ALT+T  for easier terminal access
[02:45] <mkultra_> then everythings in $HOME/.wine/drive_c
[02:46] <mkultra_> ctrl alt t doesnt work for me
[02:46] <mkultra_> im in xfce
[02:46] <Simon1245> _Marcus, basically it fucked up today badly had virus and shit I removed it or something and the whole computer sort of shut down
[02:46] <ActionParsnip> mkultra_: yeah it works there too..
[02:46] <gogeta> mkultra_: what you trying to get to
[02:46] <mkultra_> alt + f2 is distro agnostic
[02:46] <_Marcus> Simon1245: When there's a problem like that, install it again :D
[02:46] <mkultra_> im explaining wine to people asking if its easy
[02:46] <Simon1245> Now too lazy to reinstall Windows again so I was hopin gthat it would work to use every Windows thing on here
[02:46] <urlin2u> mkultra_, works in xfce for me.
[02:47] <ActionParsnip> mkultra_: or install guake and use a shortcut button, like the console in Quake / HalfLife etc
[02:47] <mkultra_> might be my keyboard
[02:47] <ActionParsnip> Simon1245: I'd look for open equivs
[02:47] <mkultra_> yeah i have that bound to f12
[02:47] <gogeta> Simon1245: you can try one lof those live cds with a vires scanner and try to clean it out but with todays nasty stuff you probly need to reformat the box
[02:47] <wessel> how should I execute this command? dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/xxx bs=446 count=1
[02:47] <mkultra_> generic ubuntu NOOBS dont have all that
[02:47] <mkultra_> they have alt + f2 gnome-terminal.....
[02:48] <wessel> I want the command to operate on my usb stick
[02:48] <mkultra_> nautilus should do it
[02:48] <Simon1245> gogeta, it's a laptop well, too lazy to do that and I don't even have the real recovery disk so I'm gonna lose all the vaio stuff and shit
[02:48] <mkultra_> alt + f2 nautilus
[02:48] <Simon1245> ActionParsnip, What's equivs?
[02:48] <crazydiamond> wessel: what do you want to do?
[02:48] <mkultra_> should be able to dig through its settings to get the drive to show up
[02:48] <ActionParsnip> Simon1245: equivelants
[02:48] <wessel> crazydiamond, remove grub
[02:48] <urlin2u> Simon1245, no recovery partition?
[02:48] <_Marcus> Simon1245: What brand of laptop?
[02:48] <crazydiamond> wessel: full format?
[02:49] <gogeta> Simon1245: go to the vio site after reformat dl all the drivers and stuff some even include  the softwhere lost
[02:49] <wessel> Yes, that is possible
[02:49] <Simon1245> _Marcus, Sony Vaio VPCEE41FX,
[02:49] <wessel> There are no important files on my USB stick
[02:49] <Kcharle> can anyone tell me why i dont have permissions to images my www folder when i go to it in the browser?
[02:49] <_Marcus> Simon1245: Ah. Most HP laptops(even desktops) come with backup hard drives
[02:49] <Simon1245> urlin2u, Not sure honestly, it was on the computer that I could create a recovery disk but I didn't find it until it was like 1 hour left till I broke it.. I mean before breaking it
[02:49] <crazydiamond> use gparted or palimpsest
[02:50] <crazydiamond> wessel: use gparted or palimpsest
[02:50] <gogeta> Simon1245: yea if you have a backup partation many new machines do un less you removed it you can restore from there
[02:50] <urlin2u> Simon1245, if you bought it new and got no dvd for reinstall you have a recovery partition.
[02:50] <Simon1245> _Marcus, Ah this one had installed you think it's accessable while restarting it?
[02:50] <Simon1245> gogeta, How?
[02:50] <wessel> Will that remove grub?
[02:51] <gogeta> Simon1245: it should be a hotkey at boot it verys on the pc
[02:51] <Simon1245> urlin2u, Ah, that's right I didn't get a dvd with it
[02:51] <Simon1245> oh
[02:51] <_schism_> question gentlemen and ladies.  I was goofing around in 10.04 and installed wicd and of course the normal network thing went bye bye.  if I uninstall wicd will the normal thing come back?
[02:51] <crazydiamond> wessel: full format will. you can delete all partitions. but notice that if you want to keep data you will need to copy it somewhere (all data will be deleted)
[02:52] <hiexpo> how can i detect what wireless driver i am currently using
[02:52] <urlin2u> Simon1245, you can probably recover it from a f8 prompt, but it will overwrite the main partition.
[02:52] <Simon1245> Uhm let me come on my other laptop while I restart this one, see you soon
[02:52] <_Marcus> Simon1245: What?
[02:52] <Kcharle> can anyone tell me why i dont have permissions to images my www folder when i go to it in the browser?
[02:52] <skilz> mkultra_, How?
[02:52] <mkultra_> what how
[02:52] <gogeta> Simon1245: normaly it will say witch key to hit for recovery mode
[02:52] <wessel> crazydiamond, there is no important data on my USB stick, I will attempt to use gparted to do a full format on my usb stick
[02:52] <ActionParsnip> _schism_: install network manager then remove wicd
[02:52] <jrib> Kcharle: well, what *are* the permissions
[02:52] <Kcharle> not sure kinda new to linux
[02:52] <skilz> mkultra_, How do I set a default alsamixer volume?
[02:52] <_schism_> ActionParsnip, is it network-manager-gnome ?
[02:53] <Simon1245> urlin2u, I was checking at F8 tried to enter the safemode thing didn't work
[02:53] <ActionParsnip> _schism_: sounds good to me :)
[02:53] <Simon1245> gogeta, I'll look for it and hopefully find it :)
[02:53] <_schism_> ActionParsnip, thank you sir
[02:53] <Kcharle> jrib: not sure kinda new to linux
[02:53] <_schism_> ActionParsnip, installed wicd while trying some other desktops but its more hassel than its worth
[02:53] <urlin2u> Simon1245, not sure with this model safemode is not recovery though call the manufacturer if you want to do it is what I would do.
[02:54] <_schism_> here goes
[02:54] <gogeta> Simon1245: the hotkey is normaly at the bios screen
[02:54] <Simon1245> urlin2u, I would've done it the problem is that I bought this laptop in USA
[02:54] <gogeta> Simon1245: normaly f10 on vio
[02:54] <Simon1245> I'm living in Sweden so that's a big problme
[02:55] <Simon1245> Alright, restarting this computer, I'm on as Simon12455 on the other one
[02:55] <urlin2u> Simon1245, not sure what that means but okay.
[02:55] <gogeta> Simon1245: so turn on vio tap f10 it should go into recovery
[02:55] <_Marcus> urlin2u: He is restarting his computer, he wants you to refer to him as "Simon12455"
[02:56]  * kalimojo hi
[02:56]  * _Marcus hi kalimojo
[02:56] <Simon12455> on it now :)
[02:56] <tfitts> does anyone here know bind and can help me figure out why reverse DNS lookups won't work for me?  I've got normal dns lookups working fine.
[02:56] <Xourii> Hello
[02:56] <wessel> crazydiamond, can I conclude from this screenshot that there was no grub located on my USB stick? http://s15.postimage.org/kzgkb6g95/image.png
[02:57] <wessel> or you can't see "boot records" or whatever the thing that grub lives in is called
[02:57] <urlin2u> wessel, mbr
[02:57] <mkultra_> wessel, says 3 gigs used
[02:57] <Simon12455> gogeta, F10 isn't the right key :(
[02:58] <mkultra_> f1?
[02:58] <mkultra_> f12 4 me
[02:58] <urlin2u> wessel, you trying top boot a W7 install?
[02:58] <urlin2u> to
[02:58] <gogeta> Simon12455: yea it might be diffrent and it should say what one
[02:58] <crazydiamond> wessel: is your USB 8Gb big?
[02:58] <wessel> yes
[02:59] <mkultra_> nice
[02:59] <crazydiamond> wessel: so it's it
[02:59] <kalimojo> n app that will play iso files ?
[02:59] <wessel> urlin2u, I'm trying to completely clean a USB stick to get rid of grub
[02:59] <urlin2u> wessel, put a bootflag on the partition.
[02:59] <wessel> later I will attempt to put a windows installer on it yes
[02:59] <kalimojo> iks there an app that will play iso files ?
[02:59] <crazydiamond> wessel: it's a way also
[02:59] <urlin2u> wessel, how did you load the windows on the usb?
[02:59] <Simon12455> mkultra_, not 412 either :(, gogeta doesn't say something
[02:59] <mkultra_> alt + f2 gnome-terminal
[03:00] <Simon12455> I've tried pressing every button :(
[03:00] <wessel> using some Microsoft program and a MSDN iso
[03:00] <mkultra_> mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/cd
[03:00] <gogeta> Simon12455: i think for a vio you need to just keep hitting f10
[03:00] <mkultra_> need to make the dir cd first
[03:00] <mkultra_> sudo mkdir /mnt/grbg
[03:00] <Simon12455> gogeta, let me try
[03:00] <mkultra_> sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/grbg
[03:00] <gogeta> Simon12455: just keep pecking it still it past the spalsh screen
[03:00] <mkultra_> ls /mnt/grbg
[03:01] <urlin2u> wessel, is it W7 you want to load to the usb for a install?
[03:01] <Simon12455> gogeta, still nothing
[03:01] <wessel> Yes
[03:01] <mkultra_> then proceed to removing grub from the mounted flash drive
[03:01] <urlin2u> wessel, you don't have to remove grub
[03:01] <janderson91z> could someone help me with an issue? please
[03:01] <gogeta> Simon12455: try it with f11 and f12 then one of them is bound to be right
[03:01] <mkultra_> say ur issue
[03:01] <urlin2u> mkultra_, ^^^
[03:02] <wessel> urlin2u, if I don't grub will always load, and I don't have a clue how to launch the installer from within a grub console
[03:02] <Rurd2di> wats issue janderson91z?
[03:02] <gogeta> Simon12455: if you deleted the patation however this will not work
[03:02] <mkultra_> wessel, your past boot time at that point
[03:02] <Simon12455> gogeta, still nothing
[03:02] <urlin2u> wessel, not true but if you don't believe that is your perogative.
[03:02] <mkultra_> you need to set it in your bios
[03:03] <janderson91z> i'm running ubuntu 11.10. i have two displays. i've installed the amd proprietary driver for my card. i've tried to set the second monitor to extend but when i do so the amd control center just closes out
[03:03] <Simon12455> I doubt I've done that
[03:03] <mkultra_> you need to set your boot order in bios wessel
[03:03] <janderson91z> i hit apply and the settings don't change, the program just closes
[03:03] <scanuks> can anyone suggest me a light linux netbook edition
[03:03] <gogeta> Simon12455: try it with f8 then
[03:03] <janderson91z> right now it's just mirroring on to the second display
[03:03] <wessel> mkultra_, I have set boot order to USB-ZIP, USB-HDD, USB-something else
[03:03] <wessel> I removed HDD from the boot order
[03:03] <gogeta> Simon12455: at vio splash screen
[03:03] <damo22> wessel is it booting grub from the usb?
[03:03] <bazhang> scanuks, lubuntu
[03:03] <mkultra_> run your program in a terminal to get debug messages
[03:04] <bazhang> !lubuntu > scanuks
[03:04] <wessel> yes it is booting the grub from the USB
[03:04] <wessel> At least that is what I think it is doing
[03:04] <urlin2u> wessel, I have done this many times if you want the correct info.
[03:04] <mkultra_> ok so you got grub booting from your usb media then you gotta mount your drive and delete it
[03:04] <Simon12455> gogeta, nothing :(
[03:04] <Simon12455> gogeta, safemode and all that shit onyl :(
[03:04] <damo22> wessel: you can boot straight into the windows installer from the grub on the usb
[03:04] <gogeta> Simon12455: then you must have removed it
[03:05] <bazhang> Simon12455, no cursing here please
[03:05] <scanuks> bazhang: i know but lubuntu is not good for my netbook screen
[03:05] <wessel> urlin2u, you have done what many times, run an installer from within grub console?
[03:05] <gogeta> Simon12455: your going to need to use a cd
[03:05] <urlin2u> wessel, no a w7 usb
[03:05] <Simon12455> bazhang, sorry.
[03:05] <damo22> wessel do you have this on another pc so we can boot into grub and still chat?
[03:05] <wessel> I have a w7 usb, but for some reason there is still grub on the w7 usb xD
[03:05] <scanuks> bazhang: any other suggestions ?
[03:06] <wessel> damo22, no
[03:06] <gogeta> Simon12455: your hitting these keys sevrel times correct i dont tink its a single press for a vio
[03:06] <janderson91z> anyone know what's going on? i posted my issue
[03:06] <urlin2u> wessel, it is really easy, so not sure what else to say.
[03:06] <bazhang> scanuks, you wanted light, how light did you mean? how much ram what cpu etc
[03:06] <Simon12455> gogeta, Yeah pressed it a lot of times
[03:07] <Simon12455> let me come back on ubuntu onto the IRC
[03:07] <scanuks> bazhang: ram 500 and cpu 1 core 1ghz
[03:07] <damo22> wessel: one way is to zero the whole usb stick then partition it and reformat it, install the w7 installer on it
[03:07] <Simon1245> gogeta, back
[03:07] <wessel> damo22, that was my plan, but I'm fine with typing some command in a grub console
[03:08] <bazhang> scanuks, you could try xubuntu, but with that minimal amount of ram it would not be snappy, thus my suggestion of lubuntu
[03:08] <urlin2u> damo22, you don't have to zero the drive
[03:08] <gogeta> Simon1245: you should have made cds before messing with your partations
[03:08] <damo22> wessel: the commands you need depend on the layout of grubs drives
[03:08] <scanuks> bazhang: yes but i already said my screen doesnt match lubuntu :(
[03:08] <gogeta> Simon1245: any pcs with recovery partations has that option
[03:08] <dalek_> how do I change the default action when an audio CD is inserted? How do I make ubuntu ask me what to do when I insert an audio CD?
[03:08] <mr_crunchy> hey guys
[03:09] <crazydiamond> if I got "Error loading new keyboard description" how can I figure the reason out?
[03:09] <Simon1245> gogeta, yeah, I know I didn't find it earlier but later on I found it but until then it was too late
[03:09] <wessel> damo22, something like this? http://pastebin.com/5t4bzxkR
[03:09] <mr_crunchy> I've just installed ubunto and I got to say I never saw something so quick to be installed
[03:09] <janderson91z> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11681835#post11681835
[03:09] <damo22> wessel: yes, but root (hd?, 1)
[03:09] <damo22> where ? refers to the usb
[03:10] <wessel> It is probably 2, I have 0 SSD with ubuntu, 1 SSD with corrupt windows, and 2 probably is USB then
[03:10] <epiccyndaquil> how do I remove empathy, banshee, etc from the Unity menu at the top?
[03:10] <damo22> wessel type root (hd then hit tab
[03:10] <scanuks> bazhang: can i install LXDE on UNR ?
[03:10] <damo22> wessel: it will autocomplete
[03:11] <limescout> hey, does anyone here use zim?  I can't find any information on how to use the gnuplot plugin
[03:11] <gogeta> Simon1245: well you should be able to use a normal windows cd and get most of the vio softwhere from there site mius the crapware :)
[03:11] <bazhang> !une | scanuks
[03:11] <ActionParsnip> epiccyndaquil: right click it and click 'remove from launcher' or uncheck 'keep in launcher'
[03:12] <Simon1245> gogeta, yeah probably I'll look for it, actually downloading it on my other laptop already :)
[03:12] <wessel> damo22, okay so most likely I will have to type these commands: http://pastebin.com/wz5NZVEj
[03:12] <Simon1245> But I sort of like ubuntu :D It's really cool with all the desktop shit :D Looks really nice :D
[03:12] <gogeta> Simon1245: hey if your keys printed on the laptop its not even stealing heh
[03:12] <epiccyndaquil> ActionParsnip: I mean the "notification area" portion, if that's what it's called.
[03:12] <bazhang> Simon1245, again stop cursing please
[03:12] <scanuks> bazhang: thats sux ... looking for linux for eee pc
[03:12] <_Marcus> eee pc?
[03:12] <ActionParsnip> epiccyndaquil: in the top bar?
[03:12] <gogeta> Simon1245: you can use that key and it will come back perfectly legit
[03:12] <epiccyndaquil> correct, ActionParsnip
[03:13] <damo22> wessel: but if you use root (hd<TAB><TAB> it will print a list of possible hds
[03:13] <ActionParsnip> epiccyndaquil: so when the apps run you DON'T want them to appear there?
[03:13] <urlin2u> ActionParsnip, you have that link for W7 loads to a thumb?
[03:13] <bazhang> scanuks, lubuntu and other variants adjust to the eeepc screen automatically quite well
[03:13] <damo22> wessel, then you can insert the correct number, and follow with a comma, then tab again to get partitions
[03:13] <_Marcus> scanuks: What processor do Eee PCs use
[03:14] <epiccyndaquil> ActionParsnip: no, I don't use Banshee, so I don't want it to appear when I adjust the volume. I don't use thunderbird, so I don't want it to appear there. Same for Empathy.
[03:14] <gogeta> scanuks: btrfs is very broken atm use ext2 otherwise lubuntu works awsome
[03:14] <t4nkd> is there an ubuntu ec2 channel still?
[03:14] <Simon1245> gogeta, true, I got it written underneath the computer :D bazhang, really sorry, used to say that word lol

[03:14] <ActionParsnip> epiccyndaquil: if you don't use it, uninstall it
[03:14] <wessel> I also need to use the --force? in chainloader --force +1?
[03:14] <Rurd2di> ActionParsnip: dont post windows bs in here!
[03:14] <scanuks> _Marcus: intel
[03:15] <ActionParsnip> Rurd2di: it was requested.Calm down
[03:15] <gogeta> marcos: they use atom
[03:15] <urlin2u> wessel, not sure why you guys are doing this in a hard way but look here. http://www.webupd8.org/2010/10/create-bootable-windows-7-usb-drive.html
[03:15] <epiccyndaquil> ActionParsnip: I have, but it still appears in that area
[03:15] <urlin2u> ActionParsnip, thanks;)
[03:15] <Bsims> lol answered my own question
[03:15] <_Marcus> scanuks: Exactly? I mean what is it. Like ix86.
[03:16] <scanuks> _Marcus: x86
[03:16] <gogeta> marcos: depends n270 was 32 bit but the dual cores are 64bit
[03:16] <_Marcus> scanuks: I believe Ubuntu should run on it
[03:16] <wessel> well thanks, I will try that when it does not work, will be the first time I actually do something useful in a grub console, I kind of like that :P
[03:17] <scanuks> _Marcus:  already tried the UNR thingy but it was too slow
[03:17] <gogeta> scanuks: use lubuntu it runs fine on my n270 eeepc
[03:17] <ActionParsnip> lubuntu rox
[03:17] <Bsims> why can't I zap empathy's settings entirely
[03:17] <scanuks> gogeta: yes it doesnt match my screen
[03:18] <gogeta> scanuks: umm it does mine and there all pretty mutch the same
[03:18] <epiccyndaquil> Bsims: I have the exact same question as you, this is my problem ActionParsnip
[03:18] <Bsims> I did a rm -r on everything locate empathy|grep $HOME and it still has my account settings
[03:18] <scanuks> gogeta: only UNR worked fine but it slow
[03:18] <gogeta> scanuks: is it going into the overscan moide?
[03:18] <Bsims> epiccyndaquil: whats the question
[03:18] <epiccyndaquil> actually, it seems a restart worked after uninstalling
[03:19] <scanuks> gogeta: can u try simple english XD my english is poor
[03:19] <gogeta> scanuks: ull unr has been gone for almost 2 years try the new versions
[03:19] <epiccyndaquil> Bsims: to remove empathy, uninstall it from the software center, then reboot
[03:19] <scanuks> gogeta: which is ?
[03:19] <Bsims> epiccyndaquil: Ah Ok
[03:19] <gogeta> scanuks: lubuntu runs perfect on my eeepc 900a
[03:19] <Bsims> I got a movie, its not showing up when I put it in my dvd drive but another one does any ideas
[03:20] <scanuks> gogeta: u said n270
[03:20] <gogeta> scanuks: 900a has a n270 atom prosser
[03:20] <scanuks> gogeta: is it 10" ?
[03:20] <gogeta> scanuks: its the 7 inch

[03:23] <mkultra_> u zombies wanna see my archive of scrips?
[03:23] <gogeta> scanuks: it can do 1024*768 but thats overscan mode where you have to mouse down and up to see the screen

[03:23] <gogeta> scanuks: that sounds like a openbox problem
[03:23] <scanuks> gogeta: preferenced > openbox conf..
[03:23] <gogeta> scanuks: lubuntu uses lxde
[03:24] <Simon1245> Hey could someone help me, how can I increase the space of Linux partion? Not sure if I spelled it wrong but I guess you understand
[03:24] <scanuks> gogeta: no i can see the half of "close" and "about" buttons
[03:24] <scanuks> gogeta: it comes by defualt
[03:24] <ActionParsnip> Simon1245: you can resize partitions in LiveCD
[03:24] <gogeta> scanuks: no ubuntu comes with openbox by defult
[03:25] <Canadian1296> About to start building LFS on Ubuntu :) Hope this goes well.
[03:25] <scanuks> gogeta: u must be wrong , i installed fresh lubuntu today and it was there
[03:25] <scanuks> gogeta: 11.10
[03:25] <gogeta> scanuks: lubuntu uses lxde
[03:25] <Simon1245> ActionParsnip, does it save?
[03:25] <scanuks> gogeta: so somthing fked up with my lubuntu
[03:25] <ActionParsnip> Simon1245: save what?
[03:26] <mkultra_> yeah i bet lubuntu is gonna be the hot ticket upon update
[03:26] <ActionParsnip> mkultra_: shame its not LTS in Precise...
[03:26] <bazhang> scanuks, no cursing here
[03:26] <gogeta> scanuks: dunno but it should be lxde not openbox
[03:27] <scanuks> bazhang: srry
[03:27] <scanuks> gogeta: but it was fresh install
[03:27] <chromati`> how do I enable restricted drivers in ubuntu 11.10?
[03:27] <Bsims> scanuks: its entirely possible something else drew in openbox
[03:27] <Bsims> I've seen wierder
[03:27] <gogeta> scanuks: i hear lots of errors in  my day but not a iso having the wrong wm
[03:27] <chromati`> wait I found it.
[03:27] <Simon1245> ActionParsnip, I mean if I use the liveCD to increase the partion size, would it save like that or would it change back later on or something?
[03:28] <chromati`> additional drivers under settings
[03:28] <Simon1245> Oh and I just found the recovery partion, it's not deleted, gogeta
[03:28] <log> chromati`: I liked "Restricted Drivers" better than "Additional Drivers."
[03:28] <gogeta> Simon1245: nice you can restore it then
[03:28] <ActionParsnip> Simon1245: you are editting the actual drive, so the setting will stick. I suggest you run full backup in case of catastrophe
[03:29] <cha0sbg> yo guys, anyone have messed with Optimus technology in ubuntu ?
[03:29] <gogeta> Simon1245: defently make some restore disk after
[03:29] <log> !anyone | cha0sbg
[03:29] <Bsims> Simon1245: I recommend rsync for your backup
[03:29] <ActionParsnip> cha0sbg: nvidia refuse to support Linux in optimus
[03:29] <Simon1245> Bsims, I don't relaly have a external hardrive or something
[03:29] <ActionParsnip> cha0sbg: there is bumblebee to try and support it.I think you will be disappointed though
[03:29] <Bsims> Simon1245: Ok, make it a priority
[03:30] <scanuks> gogeta: anyways i thing i kinda ruined my lubuntu because i installed "grandr" and i pressed "screen off" by mistake and now it show me blank screen
[03:30] <cha0sbg> why's that ActionParsnip
[03:30] <scanuks> gogeta: theres any chance to fix it ?
[03:30]  * Bsims smiles its money well spent
[03:30] <gogeta> scanuks: press screen on
[03:30] <Simon1245> ActionParsnip, I can just reinstall it all again and add some extra space into it, right?
[03:30] <scanuks> gogeta: i cant
[03:30] <ActionParsnip> Simon1245: I guess
[03:30] <scanuks> gogeta: it shows me blank screen
[03:30] <Simon1245> ActionParsnip, Safer way, I'll go for that way :)
[03:31] <Simon1245> gogeta, one problem, how do I access it? The recovery partion?
[03:31] <mkultra_> yeah i think gnome 3 will be running better by the time i go that route
[03:31] <Bsims> Simon1245: surely its easier to run the live cd and run gparted
[03:31] <gogeta> Simon1245: so you didnt find it
[03:31] <Simon1245> gogeta, I did, in the disk ultilty thing
[03:31] <scanuks> gogeta: well ?
[03:32] <gogeta> Simon1245: i dunno esc maybe its defently a hotkey
[03:32] <Simon1245> Let me check, hopefully it is.
[03:32] <Simon1245> I'll come back if it isn't if it is, I'm not coming back, shutted down the other laptop lol

[03:34] <scanuks> gogeta: lubuntu-11.10-desktop-i386.iso
[03:35] <gogeta> Bsims: lol you relise kde stands for
[03:35] <scanuks> Myrtti: u here ?
[03:35] <mkultra_> k desktop environment

[03:36] <Bsims> dunno why but even gnome2 gives me hives
[03:36] <mkultra_> lol 3 freaked me out at first
[03:36] <ActionParsnip> gogeta: The K was originally suggested to stand for "Kool", but it was quickly decided that the K should stand for nothing in particular. The KDE initialism is therefore expanded to "K Desktop Environment". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KDE
[03:36] <Bsims> I upgraded to Oneric, and my preferences in calibre is now grey and transparent, does calibre use gtk so I know where to go hunt down this bug and kill it

[03:37] <mkultra_> if its clean nothing installed why not
[03:38] <scanuks> ActionParsnip: no idea
[03:38] <ActionParsnip> scanuks: if you press CTRL+ALT+F1  do you get a command line system?
[03:38] <mkultra_> too bad u dont gots ssh
[03:38] <scanuks> ActionParsnip: nope
[03:38] <mkultra_> u could fix a problem like that with ssh
[03:38] <gogeta> ActionParsnip: his lubuntu has openbox lol i relly dont knoe what hes running
[03:38] <ActionParsnip> scanuks: I suggest you find out, then delete it (or rename it)

[03:39] <ActionParsnip> scanuks: if not then boot to root recovery mode
[03:39] <mkultra_> yeah K is looking pretty sweet these days
[03:39] <gogeta> mkultra_: yea but it still siffers from the same thing qt always has being slow as dirt
[03:40] <Bsims> bazhang: why not I installed ubuntu not kubuntu, I also have wmaker, lxde and xfce
[03:40] <bazhang> Bsims, what does it have to do with ubuntu support?

[03:41] <mkultra_> qt is pretty but yeah K the desktop is a turtle and resource hog
[03:41] <bazhang> kanliot, #ubuntu+1 for precise please

[03:42] <mkultra_> lol, if theres nothing on the drive id format
[03:42] <mkultra_> quicker easier
[03:42] <scanuks> gogeta: which file xrandr stores it configuration in lubuntu ?

[03:50] <ActionParsnip> scanuks: try:  xrandr -s 0
[03:50] <holstein> scanuks: about the permissions? http://timwise.blogspot.com/2008/08/reseting-home-folder-permissions-in.html

[03:52] <MaxHeadRoom> Hello, q about LTS, are there backports so you can install latest versions of non-core cross platform programs, like LibreOffice or Firefox recent versions?  I am looking to LTS for a more stable base, while hoping for some recent stuff also
[03:53] <ActionParsnip> scanuks: if you run:  su foo; file ~/.config/monitors.xml     is the file present (chage foo for your username)
[03:54] <Bsims> anyone know how I can get pidgin to show a icon in the system tray? it worked till I rebooted
[03:54] <twilightstar> anyone know how to turn crontab on
[03:54] <ActionParsnip> Bsims: in the config, you can set the show tray to Always
[03:54] <holstein> MaxHeadRoom: ppa's...
[03:54] <ActionParsnip> twilightstar: its on by default...
[03:54] <Froward> so how do I add a new launcher? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToAddaLauncher does not work.
[03:54] <twilightstar> for some reason it doesn work
[03:55] <scanuks> ActionParsnip: no such a file or directory ... im so lost
[03:55] <twilightstar> I dropped a file in the cron.daily
[03:55] <twilightstar> didn't work
[03:55] <holstein> Bsims: try loggin out and back in... maybe the notification area didnt load,or crashed
[03:55] <ActionParsnip> scanuks: use the web to see where the settings are stored, that ALL I am doing....
[03:55] <fishead> some one can help me with install Mint 12? i have a problem when i use an usb sticky livecd to install it
[03:55] <scanuks> ActionParsnip: how can i reset the whole system ?
[03:56] <MaxHeadRoom> holstein: so no backport repos exist for LTS?  I have heard of ppa's and tried them, not the ideal solution... I am thinking of something like what Mepis does, having a stable base w/ backports repo
[03:56] <ActionParsnip> scanuks: you only need to set xrandr, the rest is fine...
[03:56] <holstein> fishead: i would try #mint on spotchat
[03:56] <scanuks> ActionParsnip: i cant find it on google =\
[03:56] <ActionParsnip> scanuks: do you have ~/.xprofile   ?
[03:56] <Bsims> holstein: I'll try that
[03:56] <scanuks> yes
[03:56] <ActionParsnip> scanuks: rename it
[03:56] <fishead> holstein: thank you
[03:57] <holstein> MaxHeadRoom: ppa's is the way i have added libreoffice and firefox stable to the LTS
[03:57] <scanuks> ActionParsnip: whats the command of rename
[03:57] <ActionParsnip> scanuks: then run:   sudo reboot     and you should be ok
[03:57] <Blue11> scanuks: mv
[03:57] <ActionParsnip> scanuks: mv ~/.xprofile ~/.xprofile_old
[03:58] <MaxHeadRoom> holstein: is there one ppa repo for this purpose, or do I need many for each category I want to add
[03:58] <ActionParsnip> scanuks: I strongly suggest you put some time into CLI and you won't be asking basic stuff like that
[03:58] <holstein> MaxHeadRoom: i have used different ones.. http://www.ubuntugeek.com/install-libreoffice-in-ubuntu-11-0410-1010-04-using-ppa.html for example
[03:58] <ActionParsnip> scanuks: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-adjust-screen-resolution-on-ubuntu.html   is where I found the file out.....
[03:59] <ActionParsnip> scanuks: fyi I DON'T use xrandr, nor have I ever had to, yet I found that..

[04:00] <soulf_> Hi, in unity as well as gnome-shell the gtk theme and wallpaper don't load (instead there's a blue background and and ugly fallback theme), changing the settings in the gnome-tweak-tool or appearance menu changes nothing. The shell theme works so it's just the thing that unity and gnome-shell have in common (what do you call it, gnome3? gtk3?...) Does annybody have an idea?
[04:00] <scanuks> ActionParsnip: it says its read only file system
[04:01] <ActionParsnip> scanuks: sounds like an unhealthy file system, did you hard power off before going to root recovery mode?
[04:01] <scanuks> ActionParsnip: yes
[04:02] <ActionParsnip> scanuks: coincidence, I don't think so
[04:02] <scanuks> couldnt see the screen
[04:02] <ActionParsnip> scanuks: I suggest you boot to liveCD and fsck your partition there, You could have used Alt+K+Printscreen and got back to the login screen

[04:12] <ActionParsnip> Argus33: yes, its a terminal command
[04:13] <chaos_zero> (sorry it dropped me before)
[04:13] <Argus33> ok wait one
[04:13] <ActionParsnip> Argus33: have you not seen that page, it took me seconds to find
[04:16] <chaos_zero> anybody?
[04:18] <jmoreira81> holstein: do you know of a good app to restore deleted files from a hard drive on a different file system?
[04:18] <ActionParsnip> !info foremost
[04:18] <holstein> jmoreira81: i use photorec
[04:19] <Argus33> not that exact page
[04:19] <jmoreira81> holstein: is it just for images?
[04:20] <holstein> jmoreira81: its for hard drives and file systems.. are you wanting something that can sift through an image? you can try it
[04:21] <AllyUnion> Has anyone used a hardware RAID controller?
[04:21] <jmoreira81> holstein: nah… i formatted my ext hdd but i need some files back....
[04:21] <damo22> AllyUnion: yes
[04:22] <AllyUnion> damo22: I've never had to handle one in Linux, it shows up as one device?
[04:22] <holstein> jmoreira81: photorec has worked for that for me before... after formatting
[04:22] <jmoreira81> holstein: i'll try it
[04:22] <damo22> AllyUnion: i would be wary of those things, because let us suppose the computer dies, how do you get your data back without an identical raid controller
[04:22] <holstein> its part of testdisk jmoreira81 http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk
[04:22] <AllyUnion> damo22: Is there any considerations to partitioning it?  (only use parted I assume?)
[04:23] <jmoreira81> holstein: Nice.
[04:24] <WHAT_UP> is it possible to have, say, Ctrl-Shift-F6 bring me to another x instance?
[04:25] <WHAT_UP> o.o
[04:25] <damo22> WHAT_UP: my friend is running 2 xservers in ubuntu
[04:25] <WHAT_UP> damo22: how do i go about doing that?

[04:31] <Snowman_> How do you permanently turn off acpi in 11.10 grub?
[04:31] <aBound> If it's not part of the official repository I doubt anybody would give any help.
[04:32] <MK`> Alright, thanks
[04:32] <log> It looks like uget is in the repo.
[04:32] <log> "easy-to-use download manager written in GTK+2"

[04:33] <Guest39888> it keep saying
[04:33] <Guest39888> banned
[04:33] <log> walden: Some computers won't run Ubuntu without ACPI disabled.
[04:33] <Guest39888> or it wont just let me get connect
[04:33] <Snowman_> My computer will not boot unless I manually do this.
[04:33] <aBound> MK`, I can't say if anybody in #ubuntu-offtopic would help but you could try it.

[04:42] <YNH> everything works great other then it just asks me to log in
[04:42] <urlin2u> YNH, what is the release you have installed, and the desktop?
[04:42] <YNH> 11.04
[04:42] <YNH> gnome
[04:42] <YNH> gnome classic
[04:42] <urlin2u> YNH, I think that is ldm.
[04:43] <YNH> see thats what it seams like
[04:43] <YNH> some other log in manager

[04:44] <scientes> how do i take a webcam picture on 10.04
[04:44] <walden> ah right
[04:44] <scientes> I don't have cheese and cant install programs
[04:44] <holstein> scientes: then you cant... you can try some web service, but i cant think of one off hand
[04:45] <urlin2u> Argus33, method three is a easy way. http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-disable-ipv6-in-ubuntu.html#more-95

[04:45] <mkultra_> holy shit error
[04:46] <mkultra_> ill be back my machines flipping out
[04:46] <Argus33> thankyou
[04:48] <walden> scientes: that would be a live cd, its a good idea
[04:49] <YNH> walden, just checked ldm is not even installed
[04:50] <Snowman_> Thanks Holstein, that worked to turn off acpi
[04:50] <holstein> i think its called lightdm YNH
[04:50] <holstein> Snowman_: cool :)
[04:50] <urlin2u> Argus33, no problem.:)
[04:50] <YNH> adam@darkstar-server:/usr/lib$ lightdm
[04:50] <YNH> The program 'lightdm' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
[04:50] <YNH> sudo apt-get install lightdm
[04:50] <YNH> :-\
[04:51] <superlinux> hiii
[04:51] <scientes> YNH, 10.04?
[04:51] <holstein> YNH: OK.. so its not lightdm... lets go for figuring out what you *do* have, and making that work, unless you would like to install lightdm and try it?
[04:51] <YNH> 11
[04:51] <scientes> YNH, /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[04:51] <YNH> oops 11.04
[04:51] <scientes> or it might be /etc/init.d/gdm3

[04:56] <superlinux> anyone??
[04:56] <allquixotic> I have a program that spawns a child process that starts and ends VERY quickly (a few micro/milliseconds, way too quick to see it on top or ps). Is there a tool that can detect the process spawning and just give me the command line that was used to start the process?
[04:56] <veronica> Hello, i need to activate the ecologic functon in a Toshiba Satellite u505 laptop, can somebody help me??
[04:56] <ynh> ok thats f'ed up
[04:57] <ynh> I halted the computer, like off off and started it back up and didn't work
[04:57] <ynh> then someone suggested gdm restart and THAT worked
[04:58] <psusi> allquixotic, you can install the acct package and have it log every program that is every run iirc
[04:58] <ynh> so to who every suggested that thanks!
[04:58] <xxiao_> hmm can't join python channel
[04:58] <Snowman_> I had to turn off my USB 2.0 support in my bios to get the computer to boot. If I turn it back on it freezes at boot again. Any suggestions??
[04:58] <holstein> ynh: encrypted directory?
[04:58] <holstein> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/753707 if so
[04:58] <psusi> veronica, define "ecologic function"
[04:59] <ynh> holstein, nope, fixed
[04:59] <pnorman> Snowman_: can you get into a grub screen?
[04:59] <Snowman_> yes by turning the USB 2.0 off.
[04:59] <ynh> holstein, did /etc/init.d/gdm restart and no login screen
[04:59] <psusi> Snowman_, and when you turn it on, it doesn't even make it to the grub menu?
[05:00] <Snowman_> Um, let me check.
[05:00] <pnorman> I believe there are some USB controllers and devices which require tweaking settings to work
[05:00] <holstein> ynh: sure...i was just reading where you said it wasnt working still and mis-understood
[05:02] <soulf_> Hi, in unity as well as gnome-shell the gtk theme and wallpaper don't load (instead there's a blue background and and ugly fallback theme), changing the settings in the gnome-tweak-tool or appearance menu changes nothing. The shell theme works so it's just the thing that unity and gnome-shell have in common that bugs(what do you call it, gnome3? gtk3?...). Oh and the problem started after I installed KDE. Help? :)
[05:02] <veronica> psusi, the toshiba satellite laptop has a application to use in an ecologic mode, using the miinimus of ligths that is necessary, this application is activate by a key, but in ubuntu 11.04 i can't to activate this application, can you help me??
[05:02] <Snowman_> On grub menu now.
[05:02] <ynh> holstein, oh sorry :-) it was just funny that i editing files etc turned the computer off and that didn't work, but just "gdm restart" did
[05:02] <mkultra_> lol got my machine to freak out good for a second
[05:03] <Snowman_> what do I need to tweak on my USB settings and how?
[05:03] <Rurd2di> tweak usb settings?
[05:03] <mkultra_> lsusb
[05:03] <Rurd2di> what do you mean?
[05:03] <mkultra_> lol
[05:04] <vitamin{> soulf_ did you try and logout and in the menu before you log back in make sure it is not set to fallback mode
[05:04] <pnorman> Snowman_: seeing if I can find what I looked up yesterday
[05:04] <psusi> veronica, "ocologic" is not a word... if you want to turn down the monitor brightness, there should be keys on the keyboard to adjust that
[05:04] <soulf_> vitamin{, yes it's definitely not in fallback mode. The gnome shell works and the minimize/maximize effects work too.
[05:05] <psusi> s/ocologic/ecologic
[05:06] <ynh> yay! on to setting up plex, minecraft, sabnzdb+
[05:06] <soulf_> vitamin{, same thing for unity, the dash(?) thing works fine... it's just the gtk theme, the wallpaper and the icons that don't load correctly and are uncahngeable...
[05:06] <vitamin{> soulf_ kde dident replace any of your video drivers did it?
[05:06] <veronica> psusi, do you know some laptop toshiba satellite? more specifically the toshiba satellite u505??
[05:07] <vitamin{> soulf_ what drivers were you using before?
[05:07] <soulf_> vitamin{, no, I don't use any proprietary drivers anyway and I don't see how it could be relate to that.
[05:09] <vitamin{> soulf_ ah thats what i was checking was proprietary drivers, ive had some crazy stuff happen with them. you try and edit anything with gconf-editor?
[05:09] <soulf_> vitamin{, no, what is it?
[05:10] <overclucker> soulf_: it sounds like a nautilus issue to me. not sure how to fix it though
[05:10] <Guest39888> j
[05:10] <Snowman_> Anything <pnorman>
[05:10] <vitamin{> soulf_ its a configuration editor
[05:11] <soulf_> vitamin{, okay, I'm installing it right now.
[05:11] <vitamin{> soulf_ so wait.. are you at a real low resolution like lower then normal?
[05:11] <soulf_> overclucker, nautilus? How so?
[05:11] <pnorman> Snowman_: I'm failing to find my search results.
[05:11] <soulf_> vitamin{, no.
[05:12] <vitamin{> soulf_ ubuntu 11.10?
[05:12] <soulf_> vitamin{, yes
[05:12] <overclucker> soulf_: nautilus is in charge of desktop icons and wallpapers, for some odd reason
[05:12] <Snowman_> Hmmm?
[05:12] <overclucker> soulf_: reminds me of explorer . .
[05:13] <soulf_> overclucker, really? Wow, did not know that...
[05:13] <Argus33> so what do i do about junk onboard wifi that i cant get to work and it will not see a usb wifi adapter
[05:13] <overclucker> soulf_: you could try moving .config/nautilus temporarily, and see what happens
[05:13] <vitamin{> soulf_ yea try gconf-editor has a option to take away control of the desktop away from natutils, im not familor with gnome-tweek-tool tho
[05:13] <pnorman> Snowman_: I'm not finding it - do you know if when it hangs any error messages are being written to /var/log/syslog?
[05:14] <Snowman_> No, I will check
[05:14] <overclucker> soulf_: i figured it out because nautilus always screw up my wallpaper in openbox . . .
[05:14] <soulf_> okay I'll try that. Thanks :)
[05:15] <scar3crow> looked all around the faq's and can't find a way to successfully add images to /usr/share/backgrounds/ and have them show up in the wallpaper switcher/login screen... help?
[05:15] <soulf_> overclucker, does nautilus control the application theme too though?
[05:15] <pnorman> Snowman_: Also, does it hang with no devices attached?
[05:15] <overclucker> soulf_: nope
[05:16] <veronica> Hello, i need to activate the ecologic functon in a Toshiba Satellite u505 laptop, can somebody help me??
[05:16] <piomic> hi guys i would like to install ubuntu 12.04 alternate daily build torrent this is this image ~700mb??
[05:16] <Snowman_> I hooked up the USB mouse to a PS/2 adapter just to check.
[05:17] <Argus33> forget it
[05:17] <urlin2u> piomic, look at the daily build and it will tell you.
[05:18] <piomic> ok but im looking for torent version:)
[05:18] <piomic> http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily/current/
[05:18] <urlin2u> piomic, there the sma eif there is one.
[05:19] <scar3crow> is there a server image somewhere yet?
[05:19] <Snowman_> Log says something like USB HC takeover failed.
[05:19] <overclucker> piomic: youre looking for a torrent for something released every day?
[05:21] <pnorman> Snowman_: what does uname -r say?
[05:21] <Snowman_> What is -r?
[05:21] <pnorman> gives you the kernel version
[05:22] <MK`> Will my ubuntu one account work for launchpad or is it separate?
[05:23] <Snowman_> In the syslog?
[05:23] <Snowman_> 9.395992
[05:23] <pnorman> no - just run it in a terminal
[05:24] <Snowman_> Didn't work
[05:24] <pnorman> Odd, I was expecting something like "3.0.0-14-server"
[05:24] <pnorman> try uname -a
[05:25] <Snowman_> 3.0.0-12
[05:25] <Snowman_> generic
[05:25] <Snowman_> i686 i386
[05:26] <pnorman> Updating the kernel *might* help
[05:26] <Snowman_> Ok I will have to quite chat for a bit to do that. I will be back.
[05:27] <pnorman> Snowman_: what I found indicates that if updating the kernel doesn't fix it, there's not much to be done
[05:27] <Snowman_> How do I update the kenel? Just run the updates?
[05:27] <pnorman> It's with apt, but not done automatically and the syntax escapes me right now
[05:28] <Snowman_> Is it this sudo apt-get update?

[05:29] <veronica> toshiba satellite brings the key in the function key next to Power, by the forward-backward, up, volume down, etc.
 this key serves to lower the brightness of the other function keys (not the blue that are activated with the Fn key, but they are bright)
 is a world that is shaped with two leaves on it, like an apple, I need to activate
[05:35] <soulf_> overclucker,  apparently in gnome3 gconf is replaced by dconf which can be accessed through the dconf-editor; I could find the nautilus settings but there doesn't seem to be anything related to the wallpaper, the theme, or icons (except specific icons within nautilus or some fading option for the background). I browsed through other options but there doesn't seem to be anything related to or relevant for my problem. :/
[05:41] <superdave321> how do I make a source trusted? there are some updates that my computer just won't download...
[05:41] <andyvy> hi, what's the command to check what version of Unity is running?
[05:41] <piomic> hi, which packages should i install after i install command-line from alternate version? xorg-window-core ? i whould like to install only gnome 3 shell
[05:42] <bobenhaus> hola
[05:43] <bobenhaus> Question: How do default the unity sidebar?
[05:44] <urlin2u> bobenhaus, could you be more succinct.
[05:44] <escott> soulf_, unlike gconf it seems that options dont exist until they are changed. in gconf you always had the schema to fall back on but in dconf you dont. but often you can just set the gconf key and it seems to work
[05:47] <bobenhaus> anyone know how to reset unity ?
[05:47] <superdave321> how do I make a source trusted? there are some updates that my computer just won't download...
[05:51] <riff> helloz
[05:51] <urlin2u> superdave321, you geting key missing or not good in the terminal.
[05:52] <superdave321> actually using the update gui, but i do have a key missing in a different repo...
[05:55] <urlin2u> superdave321, a terminal update will tell you run this if you get a key problem. sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys "key here"
[05:56] <soulf_> escott, what do you mean "just set the gconf key"? How would I do that?
[05:56] <superdave321> where do I get the "key here" part?
[05:57] <urlin2u> bobosomfan, unity --reset or unity --replace I forget which one
[05:57] <urlin2u> bobosomfan, no sudo
[05:58] <riff> !ot ylzaho
[05:58] <riff> !ot ylzhao
[05:58] <urlin2u> superdave321, run a update in the terminal use the key mentioned in the key here
[05:59] <superdave321> I'm guessing apt-get update?
[05:59] <urlin2u> superdave321, yeah sudo apt-get update don't do this in root
[05:59] <superdave321> riff you have to use a '|' inbetween command and username...
[06:00] <superdave321> urlin2u isn't that what sudo does...
[06:00] <urlin2u> superdave321, yeah but some people like to just access root to do stuff when not needed, just a precautionary.
[06:01] <superdave321> ahh. ok. gotcha. will do.
[06:01] <urlin2u> superdave321, the apt-get update just triggered a red flag.
[06:01] <superdave321> ?
[06:02] <urlin2u> superdave321, like I said we get people on here running root all the time we never know. :)
[06:02] <escott> soulf_, i would (a) try using gconf-editor it might still work. if it doesnt then use dconf-editor but create the key and directory based on what you see in gconf-editor schemas (alternately use gsettings cli to create and set the value)
[06:02] <superdave321> urlin2u: gotcha
[06:03] <bobenhaus> anyon know the apt command to completely reinstall unity?
[06:03] <jschall> is there an ubuntu tablet available?
[06:03] <bobenhaus> !unity
[06:03] <urlin2u> bobenhaus, can you tell us your problem that might help.
[06:03] <soulf_> escott, alright thanks, (b) it is :)
[06:03] <bobenhaus> urlin2u: I uninstalled it because was not working probably and now I need to reinstall it
[06:04] <urlin2u> you been tweaking compiz? bobenhaus
[06:04] <bobenhaus> urlin2u: yeah and it screwed up my unity
[06:04] <bobenhaus> nomore unity for me
[06:04] <bobenhaus> I mean, compiz
[06:04] <urlin2u> bobenhaus, unity is aplugin in compiz.
[06:05] <bobenhaus> doh
[06:05] <hiexpo> !doorknob
[06:05] <superdave321> urlin2u: alright... running update...
[06:05] <urlin2u> bobenhaus, how did you remove unity?
[06:05] <bobenhaus> urlin2u: do you know how to reinstall unity from atp command?
[06:06] <bobenhaus> urlin2u" from softare manager but all my icons are gone now
[06:06] <hiexpo> oops
[06:06] <urlin2u> bobenhaus, the ubuntu software center
[06:07] <bobenhaus> urlin2u: I need to know the command to bring it up in terminal since I have no icons to launch it :)
[06:07] <bobenhaus> anyone know the terminal command to launch the software manager?
[06:07] <bobenhaus> !software manager
[06:08] <urlin2u> bobenhaus, right but without some back info I can't help.
[06:08] <hiexpo> you mean synaptic
[06:09] <bobenhaus> urlin2u: do you know the command to bring up the softare manager in a terminal window?
[06:09] <skilz> bobenhaus, software-manager
[06:10] <urlin2u> bobenhaus, I asked if that was the ubuntu software center another asked if synaptic, can you like answer questions
[06:10] <hiexpo> no command for that bobenhaus > why you want it a terminal ?
[06:10] <bobenhaus> its the ubuntu software manager
[06:10] <skilz> apt-cache search and apt-get install
[06:10] <urlin2u> bobenhaus, to be honest you cart before the horse got you here and is hidering any help.
[06:11] <bobenhaus> nevermind I will figure it out myself.
[06:13] <damo22> how do i purge all packages that are provided by a metapackage?
[06:14] <bobenhaus> this is all I wanted but you didnt understand:   sudo software-center --enable-lp
[06:14] <urlin2u> bobenhaus, we understood you are just not working in a logical manner by asking for help.
[06:15] <urlin2u> by=in
[06:15] <bobenhaus> I asked you several times how to bring up the software manager from with in the  terminal?  How hard was it to understand?
[06:15] <bobenhaus> I
[06:16] <urlin2u> bobenhaus, you did not know the unity was aplug in in compiz you could of fixed that desktop broken with a reset there.
[06:16] <bobenhaus> I'm still new to ubuntu so now going to know all commands or words
[06:17] <bobenhaus> I could of just reinstalled ubuntu from scratch but I wanted to learn instead of starting over when I make mistakes
[06:17] <urlin2u> bobenhaus, being new is fine but it was obvious you were kind of lost I don't just give info to lost users who broke there set up without some info.
[06:17] <superdave321> urlin2u: thanks for the tips! problem resolved!
[06:17] <urlin2u> superdave321, cool. :)
[06:17] <bobenhaus> urlin2u: no biggie.. I got it working now.  thanks
[06:17] <urlin2u> bobenhaus, cool
