[12:18] <IanPM-W> I'm looking into some /etc/network/interface stuff
[12:18] <IanPM-W> it's just simpler to do so through the GUI
[12:18] <elementz> hi all. my new and first hads SSD arrived today. Is there anything I should watch out for, when installing Natty? Filesystem/alignment/partitioning aso? I haven't found a good guide yet. Mabye some of you have some experience already?
[12:18] <jrib> IanPM-W: keep in mind interfaces are managed through network-manager by default nowadays
[12:18] <baremetal> gry, i am trying to install 2.6.39  as a deb package  on LTS. Can not find 2.6.39 but I can find 2.6.38
[12:19] <gry> baremetal: Then package it. :-)
[12:19] <movan2011> IanPM-W why not press Alt+F2 and type "gksu nautilus <path>" where <path> points to the file you want to edit.  Oh and don't add the quotes.
[12:19] <gry> baremetal: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/
[12:19] <ikonia> baremetal: why do you want that kernel ?
[12:19] <movan2011> @IamPN-W:  Sorry, meant gedit not nautilus.
[12:19] <IanPM-W> jrib, the problem I have, is that the network interfaces thing doesn't show up eth0
[12:19] <IanPM-W> and I'm trying to troubleshoot i t
[12:20] <movan2011> Seem to be obsessed with nautilus today.
[12:20] <IanPM-W> it was working, but seems to have stopped somehow
[12:20] <cloudyLights> hi
[12:20] <IanPM-W> I might have done something, but I really have no idea what
[12:20] <gry> hi cloudyLights
[12:20] <IanPM-W> so if anyone has bright ideas about how to get eth0 back
[12:20] <IanPM-W> I'd love to hear them
[12:20] <cloudyLights> I use 11.04 , when I insert a SD card I see this:
[12:20] <gry> hi beginer
[12:20] <cloudyLights> I get a window saying unable to mount 4.0 GB
[12:21] <beginer> gry, hello
[12:21] <cloudyLights> gvfs and xfce are installed and used
[12:21] <baremetal> gry, i want 2.6.39 because it has certain drivers i would like to have. among them which is unique to 2.6.39 is zd1211rw (Wireless drivers for zydas chipset  usb adapter) whis supports AP mode
[12:21] <cloudyLights> how to let my user mount the SD via gvfs?
[12:21] <Kartagis> damn you netadmin!
[12:22] <baremetal> gry: have you seen  http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppa/kernel-ppa    ???
[12:22] <cloudyLights> baremetal: I was looking for someone to tell me how good is the zd as a AP
[12:22] <ikonia> baremetal: zd1211rw has been in the kernel since 2.6.18
[12:22] <cloudyLights> but AP is only recent
[12:23] <seravitae> hello i have a question about synaptic. it is kind of a programmign question though. I was wondering how when you go 'applying changes' in synaptic - it shows a terminal window inside the application.
[12:23] <baremetal> ikonia,  zd1211rw has been in the kernel a long time but only 2.6.39  gives you zydas  AP mode
[12:23] <seravitae> I want to write a program that has a terminal inside it - i have no idea how it is done. anyone have any ideas?
[12:23] <ikonia> baremetal: by AP mode, do you mean "master" mode ?
[12:24] <baremetal> YES
[12:24] <cloudyLights> right
[12:24] <jrib> seravitae: read the source code :D  Probably look at libvte
[12:24] <sammmy> suspend for some reason don't keep my workspace.
[12:24] <ikonia> !info linux-kernel
[12:24] <ikonia> oops
[12:24] <sammmy> Could this be because I've used wubi to install ubuntu?
[12:24] <ikonia> !info linux-image
[12:25] <ikonia> baremetal: that kernel isn't even in natty, so you're going to be on dubious stability ground as even the later ubuntu release isn't built around it.
[12:25] <baremetal> i do not use natty, it is buggy as hell and i like a lot of people hate unity
[12:25] <ikonia> baremetal: maybe worth contacting the PPA owner for some support
[12:26] <seravitae> jrib - cheers, libvte seems to be it.
[12:28] <hammoommah> hello poeples
[12:28] <gry> Hello.
[12:28] <zamba> anyone using iscsi and multipath here and can help me figure out why failover doesn't work?
[12:28] <gry> zamba: Only if you ask, explaining what's happening. :-)
[12:28] <hammoommah> any network specialists?
[12:28] <gry> hammoommah: Some.
[12:29] <gry> hammoommah: What's up? :-)
[12:29] <hammoommah> ok here goes........
[12:29] <zamba> gry: well, i'm basically new to the whole iscsi/multipath thingy.. i have one lun on a san with two controllers with four ports each.. when doing multipath -ll i see 8 devices in total (/dev/sdb -> /dev/sdi).. where should i create my partitions?
[12:30] <zamba> gry: http://pastebin.com/Gdv35JWr <- here's the output
[12:31] <zamba> in /dev/mapper i have mpath0.. is this the device i should be partitioning?
[12:31] <hammoommah> i have imac plus about 6 other oldish boxes, im looking at setting up home network so me/my wife/my 5 kids can all share resourses plus add a ubuntu media centre. i was thinking of setting up unbuntu server with clients attached and join imac plus media centre to that......... if that makes sense
[12:32] <dr_willis> hammoommah,  so.. you  'are making a home network' .....
[12:32] <gry> zamba: That said, I'm nobody myself; all I did was get you ask this question in full in here, be assured that people in here may be able to respond soon. :-)
[12:32] <zamba> oh
[12:32] <hammoommah> yep yep
[12:32] <kdbwnf> Hi. I've just installed firefox 5 and now I can't see the firefox icon in the unity when I'm running firefox. Any ideas to solve it?
[12:32] <gry> zamba: (Surely this should be a helpful channel overall!)
[12:32] <hammoommah> 2 in essence
[12:33] <hammoommah> one from server to clients and one to join server imac media centre
[12:33] <dr_willis> I dont get why they both cant be the same network
[12:34] <hammoommah> thats why im here
[12:37] <hroi> how is ext4 is it good, and interacts well with other systems? nfsmount etc.

[12:39] <hroi> dr_willis: thanks, ok ext4 shouldnt have any issues, ext3 most likely wont have any issues.
[12:39] <aji> hai]
[12:40] <dr_willis> hroi,  ext2 proberly wouldent be any issues either....
[12:40] <teetasse> asdfasdfa: so how are things going on with PythonSnake
[12:40] <dr_willis> hroi,  but thats going a bit far. :)
[12:40] <PythonSnake> teetasse: go debian
[12:40] <PythonSnake> :D
[12:41] <teetasse> PythonSnake: pure debian or chrunchbang?
[12:41] <dr_willis> I think i could of had Ubuntu installed to 30 machines  since this discussion was started with PythonSnake .... :)
[12:41] <ikonia> guys - we don't care about non-ubuntu distro dicussion/help in here
[12:42] <PythonSnake> teetasse: pure
[12:42] <asdjaputra> what was the discussion about?
[12:42] <gulzar> ikonia: nice........somebody is there who respects knowledge
[12:42] <hroi> dr_willis: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext4  mentions that I may not be able to nfsmount ext4 on older distros.
[12:42] <ikonia> gulzar: no, the channels policy is that this channel is for ubuntu support dicussion only - so I respect the topic
[12:43] <hroi> dr_willis: Ive got no need for exabyte size disks, so ext3 is safe
[12:43] <dr_willis> hroi,  and how old is old?   Ive never seen anyone mention the issue.
[12:43] <teetasse> PythonSnake: so install allready finished? asdfasdfa
[12:43] <asdjaputra> asdfasdfa, lol
[12:43] <PythonSnake> no
[12:43] <PythonSnake> 3 hours left

[12:43] <Murdy> Hello everyone
[12:43] <gry> hi Murdy
[12:43] <gulzar> ikonia: yes . But I think one question will not do much harm
[12:43] <asdjaputra> Debian is a yes go here
[12:43] <teetasse> PythonSnake: downloading?
[12:43] <hroi> dr_willis:  I mean, if we have distros that dont come with ext4, 2+ years old,
[12:43] <Murdy> How are you?
[12:43] <asdjaputra> Murdy, fine, question please.
[12:43] <gulzar> ikonia: a long disscussionis surely bad
[12:43] <ikonia> gulzar: it's a discussion that's been going on for a long time, hence why I'm asking it to stop
[12:43] <hroi> dr_willis: then those systems wont completely support nfsmount from this system
[12:44] <gry> Murdy: good, thanks
[12:44] <ikonia> PythonSnake: are you installing ubuntu, yes/no ?
[12:44] <Murdy> Is it obligatory to ask questions?
[12:44] <asdjaputra> Murdy, lol no
[12:44] <gulzar> go to #ubuntu-offtopic
[12:44] <PythonSnake> ikonia: no
[12:44] <dr_willis> hroi,  only thing ive ever had issues with when using ext4 was my  old 'nas' thats linux based only supported ext3 :) or some old live cd's  but  are you really going to be using such old stuff?
[12:44] <gry> Murdy: in this channel generally yes, otherwise try ther -offtopic channel please
[12:44] <asdjaputra> ikonia, he/she tried 10.04 and has some compability issues
[12:44] <dr_willis> !info arista
[12:45] <ikonia> PythonSnake: ok - then this discussion isn't for this channel, please take it to #debian or what ever distro channel you're currently using
[12:45] <gulzar> PythonSnake:teetasse:asdjaputra: /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[12:45] <asdjaputra> its much better #ubuntu-offtopic
[12:45] <asdjaputra> i am
[12:45] <ikonia> gulzar: no, that is not a support channel either
[12:45] <dr_willis> Cool Arista is in the repos. :)  i like it better then Winff
[12:45] <hroi> dr_willis:  :) I have no choice, my workplace is littered with old linuxes... many put together years ago.
[12:45] <asdjaputra> gulzar, that's ok we aren't asking for support there
[12:45] <gulzar> ikonia: but to disscuss abt python.......it will be gud
[12:45] <gry> gulzar: there is #python too :-)
[12:45] <hroi> dr_willis: linux upgrades are a big problem... as these boxer are providing services.
[12:45] <ikonia> gulzar: no, there are channels such as #debian to help him
[12:46] <asdjaputra> ikonia, lol but he's not even done yey
[12:46] <dr_willis> hammoommah,  chat in the channel.. You havent really stated what your actual issue is. If its complex. you may want to put the info on a pastebin site.
[12:46] <asdjaputra> yet*
[12:46] <gulzar> gry : nice
[12:46] <ikonia> asdjaputra: it doesn't matter, it's not for this channel
[12:46] <asdjaputra> hroi, not hammoommah , dr_willis
[12:46] <asdjaputra> ikonia, k, we're leaving
[12:46] <dr_willis> asdjaputra,  i am talking to hammoommah  from 10 min ago.. :)
[12:47] <asdjaputra> dr_willis, oh lol
[12:47] <hammoommah> hmmmm pastebin site?
[12:47] <asdjaputra> bye ikonia
[12:47] <herrgabriel> anybody knows how to pack my current ubuntu install into an ISO so i can deploy it on other machines as well?
[12:47] <gry> hammoommah: pastebin.ubuntu.com
[12:47] <dr_willis> hroi,  its sort of scary that your workplace is providing services with  'workplace is littered with old linuxes... many put together years ago.'
[12:47] <dr_willis> !pastebin | hammoommah
[12:48] <compdoc> herrgabriel, that is possible. suggestions were on the mailing list recently
[12:48] <dr_willis> herrgabriel,  its doable - but can take some work. theres a thread on the topic at the askubuntu.com site i saw just the other day
[12:48] <dr_willis> herrgabriel,  if its a small setup. you can 'dd' to a file then dd it to the other machines hd's and then resize the filesystmes. and fix the hostname and other bits..
[12:49] <gulzar> error: unable to determine major/minor no. of root device '/dev/disk/by-uuid...........Yo are being dropped to recovery shell. Type exit to try & continue booting. /bin/sh:can't access tty; job control turned off. [ramfs]#
[12:49] <herrgabriel> compdoc, do you have a link? i'm not subsribed to the mailinglist :(
[12:49] <hroi> dr_willis: go and visit any understaffed civil cervice company :)  -- better yet visit a university, they are worse.
[12:49] <herrgabriel> dr_willis, i was thinking about dd'ing as well, but i figured a nice installer would be better
[12:50] <dr_willis> herrgabriel,  i did a dd method last week - installed to a 8gb flash drive. tweaked it a little.. then dd'd it to a exernal usb hd. worked better then i thought it would. :)
[12:50] <compdoc> herrgabriel, if you were to google your question, you should find the mailing lists archives
[12:50] <dr_willis> herrgabriel,  check askubuntu.com site also. i know they got a question on the topic
[12:50] <herrgabriel> compdoc, kk
[12:50] <teetasse> asdfasdfa: where did you and PythonSnake go? - want to  know hwo the story ends
[12:51] <herrgabriel> thanks all, will try a dd to USB-stick
[12:51] <PythonSnake> teetasse: lol
[12:51] <asdjaputra> teetasse, pm
[12:51] <asdjaputra> teetasse, he decided to go for debian
[12:52] <hammoommah> @Dr_willis http://imagebin.org/159628
[12:52] <teetasse> need to find out how to pm in irssi
[12:52] <gry> teetasse: /query nick message here
[12:52] <hammoommah> image bin is a great tool :)
[12:53] <dr_willis> hammoommah,  and the reason for the complex setup is what exactly?
[12:53] <dnivra> Hello. Is there a typing tutor application that supports the Dvorak layout?
[12:53] <teetasse> gry: thx
[12:53] <hammoommah> i thought that was pretty simple lol what would you suggest
[12:53] <jeru-zw> haven't found any useful info about getting my Canon MG5240 printer/scanner...etc. working under ubuntu
[12:53] <jeru-zw> PLEASE HELP
[12:53] <KanocX> does someone know, why vino only listen on ipv6? (ubuntu 10.04)
[12:54] <dr_willis> jeru-zw,  for the scanner end.. check the SANE homepage to see if its supported.
[12:54] <dr_willis> !scanner
[12:54] <bazhang> jeru-zw, linuxprinting.org for the printer
[12:55] <dr_willis> yea - im not sure the cups.org site mentions canon.  but it might have some info also.
[12:55] <dr_willis> I learned to not buy canon any more if i want decent linux support.
[12:56] <compdoc> the world is not ready for ipv6
[12:56] <jeru-zw> dr_willis, bazhang... so there's nothing like apt-get install all-in-one-canon-driver
[12:56] <jeru-zw> darn
[12:56] <jeru-zw> okay thanks, let me check those websites
[12:56] <dr_willis> jeru-zw,  you are lucky if the thing even has support at all.. :)
[12:57] <dr_willis> Ive had very bad luck with canon and linux
[12:57] <Guest47992> HI all! how can i draw a Picture (.png) onto my Desktop (-Wallpaper) which automatically updates every so often?
[12:57] <Guest47992> I want to follow a webcam
[12:57] <dr_willis> Guest47992,  you could write a script that pulls in an image, then sets it with one of the many wallpaper commands..
[12:58] <Guest47992> dr_willis, i dont want it to take my whole Desktop-Background
[12:58] <dr_willis> there are some autiomated wallpaper changers that might allready do that.   but i never use them any more.. played with some about 2 yrs ago
[12:58] <dr_willis> Guest47992,  there are 'gadgets/gizmos/widigits' you can use on yoru desktop.
[12:59] <dr_willis> google gadgets, opera has them also. I think theres gdesklets. and proberly 4+ other ways to do it
[12:59] <hammoommah> @dr willis would this work better? http://imagebin.org/159629
[13:00] <jeru-zw> my brother in law wouldn't shut up about linux so finally i installed it on my laptop and desktops, crappy thing is my phones, cameras and printer aren't supported
[13:00] <jeru-zw> guess i should have set up a dual boot
[13:01] <dr_willis> most cameras should work as usb storage devices...
[13:01] <gry> !info desktopnova
[13:01] <dr_willis> not sure what 'phone' support wouild be :)
[13:01] <gry> Guest47992: ^^^ see what ubottu said
[13:02] <hammoommah> @dr willis  only reason i thought of first setup was for wiring, where my adslmodem sits i can have 6 cords running up wall :(
[13:02] <Guest47992> gry, again.. i dont want to have it on all my screen
[13:02] <jeru-zw> dr_willis i usually sync my sms, mms and email messages between my phones and computers
[13:03] <sammmy> is there anyway to get suspend to work with a wubi installation, or is it not possible?
[13:03] <dr_willis> hammoommah,  i just go   modem -> router  ----- bunch of pc;s and a branch off to  a switch/hub  -- then more pcs    - keeping it simple
[13:03] <dr_willis> sammmy,  im not sure its possible..   it may need a actual swap partition.
[13:04] <gry> Guest47992: I suspect that tool changes just the wallpaper, is that what you want?
[13:04] <jeru-zw> nokia and lg phones
[13:04] <Guest47992> gry, it is not
[13:04] <sammmy> dr_willis, doesn't suspend just work off the ram?
[13:04] <dbugger> why is "keytool" telling me that keystore doesnt exist? :(
[13:05] <Guest47992> gry, i want to have an image drawn ONTO my Desktop..
[13:05] <gry> Guest47992: sorry, what does it do that you don't want?
[13:05] <dr_willis> sammmy,  they alwasy seem to be changeing the names...  I can never which  one is  'to ram' and what one is 'to hard drive'
[13:05] <Guest47992> gry, i only want to follow a Webcam which updates every so often
[13:06] <hammoommah> hmmm good idea, can you tell me when using server/virtual client setup is any computing done client side or is it all done on server? is video processing done server side or client side?
[13:06] <dr_willis> hammoommah,  i imagine it depedns on the server/client setup.
[13:06] <Guest47992> gry, and i want that picture to be refreshed automatically without opening it every time
[13:06] <gry> Guest47992: it'd be an image in front of the desktop icons, then? (not exactly a wallpaper, is that correct?)
[13:06] <Stava> When installing tiger, is cron enabled by default? Also how do I read the reports?
[13:07] <admgy22> hi guys - how would I find any .git repositories on the whole system please?
[13:07] <hammoommah> ubuntu 11.04 server with virtual clients linked booting over network cards
[13:07] <dr_willis> gry,  sounds like he wants one of those picture-frame widgits :)
[13:07] <gry> admgy22: "locate" command
[13:07] <admgy22> gry: I'm a very new user, coudl you be more specific please?
[13:07] <admgy22> gry: like, what is the exact command?
[13:07] <admgy22> gry: please
[13:08] <dr_willis> admgy22,    locate .git   -> finds all files with .git in the name.
[13:08] <gry> admgy22: install catfish for good file search - it's the package name
[13:08] <dr_willis> !info catfish
[13:08] <dr_willis> a front end to locate and find both. ? that could bne handy
[13:08] <admgy22> dr_willis: would I have to 'sudo locate .git' or is locate good for anyone?
[13:08] <Guest47992> gry, ok its the following Picture:
[13:08] <dr_willis> admgy22,  you ONLY need sudo to do 'system wide/config type tasks'
[13:08] <gry> admgy22: yes, users don't have access to some directories, so running it as root would be good idea
[13:09] <Guest47992> gry, http://www.meteo.physik.uni-muenchen.de/mesomikro/stadt/temp.png that i want to follow
[13:09] <dr_willis> admgy22,  your git stuff is hidden somewhere? or un the users home dirs? or where?
[13:09] <gry> admgy22: (for example on some systems users can't read other users' files)
[13:09] <Guest47992> gry, i want to have it sitting right on my Desktop
[13:09] <admgy22> dr_willis: I understand
[13:09] <gry> admgy22: if you search only for yourself, though, you don't need sudo
[13:09] <sammmy> dr_willis, suspend is to ram, while hibernate is to drive.
[13:09] <dr_willis> sammmy,  i seem to recall the terms 'suspend to ram and suspend to disk' used in the past also.. :)
[13:09] <gry> Guest47992: like wallpaper ?
[13:10] <dr_willis> or 'sleep and suspend'  or... ect.. :)
[13:10] <admgy22> dr_willis: yes, it's "hidden" in that I can't find it!
[13:10] <admgy22> dr_willis: last guy who did all the development left on bad terms
[13:10] <dr_willis> admgy22,  locate filename       if you have a clue to the filename
[13:10] <admgy22> dr_willis: this is the exact thing he wrote (1 min) about this:
[13:10] <Guest47992> gry, no.. just like a Picture.. even Window-framed would be ok
[13:10] <gry> Guest47992: ah
[13:10] <dr_willis> !info gdesklets
[13:11] <dr_willis> the whole desktop-widgit  idea seems to be getting to be a passing fad. :)
[13:11] <sl33k_> where is the public log of this chan?
[13:11] <Guest47992> gry, i once had this set up.. but i cant remember how i did that ;)
[13:11] <gry> dr_willis: link please ? :\ don't want to do a fail search myself if you already know that! :-)
[13:12] <dr_willis> gry,  link tio which? theres several widgits for  the desktop. I dont use any - any more either. :)
[13:12] <gry> sl33k_: irclogs.ubuntu.com
[13:12] <gry> dr_willis: to some sort of a list then please. I'm clueless here myself
[13:13] <admgy22> dr_willis:  "version control was hosted as a bare Git repository on the [...] server. It is currently not running this way because I was halfway through setting up Gitosis (which I highly recommend, by the way). \p This was done under the expectation that we would be ramping up development"
[13:13] <dr_willis> admgy22,  so no idea on the git name or anything else. eww.. I dont use git enough to even begin to offer suggestions.
[13:14] <admgy22> dr_willis: that's the email I got.  Based on that (and the guy has left suddenly and is being totally uncooperative, and I just found out he tarred up and downloaded our (competitively very valuable) server logs right before leaving)..
[13:14] <admgy22> dr_willis: so based on that... where would you look for version history?  To give you an idea, at the moment I see files and no versioning of any kind
[13:15] <dr_willis> I dont have near enough git experience to help. Ive only used it the most casual ways
[13:15] <admgy22> anyone else here?
[13:15] <rhin01> just as a matter of interest -- compiz fusion -- one of those things that it is assumed everyone wants -- so it's turned on -- it has caused my system major problems all over the place -- system hanging -- virtual desktops don't work -- x2x failing - slow -- I turned it off and I didn't notice anything apart from my system running ok again -- what the hell is compiz fusion?
[13:16] <admgy22> by the way does "20110104.123925.590510058.3696" look like a directory produced by versioning to you?
[13:16] <admgy22> it's on the active system
[13:16] <rhin01> maybe my graphics card isn't beefy enough to drive it (probably) people say a gpu hog
[13:16] <rhin01> compiz fusion has caused me major problems
[13:16] <sammmy> so even though ram has nothing to do with the hard drive, there's no way to suspend to ram with a wubi install?
[13:16] <rhin01> all that for a bit of eye candy
[13:16] <dr_willis> admgy22,  ithere may be a Git speficic  channel
[13:16] <rhin01> can anyone hear me in here?
[13:17] <Dragon[ITA]> hmm
[13:17] <dr_willis> rhin01,  Hmm?
[13:17] <rhin01> ok thanks just thought was in a mode or set with a mode thanks dr_willis
[13:17] <dr_willis> compiz is on by default - its used by unity.. rhin01
[13:17] <rhin01> dr_willis it's caused my system to lock several times
[13:17] <compdoc> I hear about Compiz a lot in here, bu6t never knew what it was before now
[13:17] <rhin01> its caused problems iwth remote desktops with x2x --
[13:17] <admgy22> dr_willis: thanks I'm trying #git
[13:17] <dr_willis> rhin01,   it can depend ion your video chiopset also
[13:17] <rhin01> ok
[13:18] <rhin01> i've wasted a day because this thing called compiz which doesn't actually do anything is installed by default
[13:19] <compdoc> Compiz is a compositing manager, which means that it enhances the overall user interaction by adding fancy effects to your windows, from drop shadows to awesome desktop effects like the Desktop Cube or the Expo view.  <- doesnt sound useful
[13:19] <rhin01> I know this -- but it also is a resource hog -- it will kill and even hang up low level gpus
[13:19] <dr_willis> rhin01,  it is used by default by unity. so it does do somthing.. its the default window manager for UNITY
[13:19] <rhin01> I never noticed any effects
[13:20] <Dragon[ITA]> o.o
[13:20] <rhin01> all I noticed was teh PAIN of my system hanging and random things to do with graphics going wrong
[13:20] <rhin01> compiz fusion introduced the only problems I have ever had with ubuntu (major)
[13:20] <dr_willis> the next release i hear compuiz will be used by unity-2d and work for other non-3d acell setuos
[13:21] <dr_willis> rhin01,  and whats your video chipset?
[13:21] <rhin01> not sure
[13:21] <rhin01> how do I find that out -- tell me and I will get back to you
[13:21] <ntkm> i am using ubuntu 10.04.can i use unity on it?
[13:21] <dr_willis> so you have no idea if you have installed the proper 3d drivers.. that would greatly enhance your unity/compiz experience. :)
[13:21] <gry> !info unity
[13:22] <rhin01> I don't want a 'unitiz/compiz' 'experience'
[13:22] <dr_willis> rhin01,  run the  jockey-gtk tool to see if any drivers are reccomended
[13:22] <gry> rhin01: then just don't use it
[13:22] <rhin01> NVIDIA accelarated graphics driver installed
[13:22] <dr_willis> dont worry about it then.. have fun.
[13:22] <gry> ntkm: http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/unity - so that's a ys I guess
[13:23] <gry> yes*
[13:23] <dr_willis> unity in maverick is not the same as the one in natty i belive.
[13:23] <ntkm> thank you
[13:23] <dr_willis> unless they did some backporting.
[13:23]  * pappa_bear_ grumbles... and says goodmorning.
[13:24] <beginer> pappa_bear_, haha, nice nick
[13:24] <beginer> oooh
[13:25] <_bear> uhhh
[13:25] <Bartzy|work> Where "scp -t" flag (and the rest of the "remote side" flags) is documented ? I'm not seeing it in 'man scp'.
[13:26] <dr_willis> Bartzy|work,  scp is supposed to work virtually identical to the way cp works.. it might be the same as what the cp -t flag does.. (whatever that is...)
[13:27] <Bartzy|work> dr_willis: I don't think so :|
[13:27] <rhin01> ok -- how can I be completely sure compiz fusion is disabled in 11.04 -- the "visual effects" tab in system->appearance is no longer there -- people saying elsewhere that selecting "classic desktop (no effects)" only disables the unity desktop -- it doesn't disable compiz fusion - I want it gone
[13:27] <dr_willis> thats what i recall from the scp guides ive read in the past at least. :)
[13:27] <rhin01> system->preferences->appearance
[13:28] <dr_willis> rhin01,  run 'metacity --replace' is one way
[13:28] <rhin01> ok
[13:29] <podzinja> How do i add new items to the panel in the new ubuntu?
[13:30] <dr_willis> Bartzy|work,  checking the man page - it mentions  options detailed in the   see ssh_config(5).      but im not sure what -t would even be for
[13:30] <podzinja> Is it possible to add items to the panel? Like in the old ubuntu?
[13:30] <gry> podzinja: right click, "add"
[13:30] <gry> podzinja: wfm in 11.04
[13:30] <Bartzy|work> dr_willis: scp -t is what gets executed on the remote side on every SCP you make.
[13:30] <podzinja> i right click panel, but i nothing happens now
[13:30] <rhin01> compiz is slowing down any systme IMO
[13:30] <podzinja> im on 11.04
[13:31] <dr_willis> Bartzy|work,  not seeint that mentioned at all then.
[13:31] <dr_willis> podzinja,  if an icon is on the panel. you can right clcik and pin it to the panel
[13:31] <podzinja> but no more widgets like before?
[13:31] <Bartzy|work> dr_willis: What ?
[13:32] <podzinja> i mean the top panel
[13:32] <dr_willis> Bartzy|work,  im googling all over for 'scp -t' and not finding any mention of it.
[13:32] <dr_willis> podzinja,  top panel - is very very locked down.
[13:32] <podzinja> so no more tomboy notes and other stuff on top panel..
[13:32] <podzinja> why?
[13:32] <dr_willis> podzinja,  you can get differnt indicator applets that go in the top panel.
[13:33] <podzinja> and where can i change workspace count
[13:33] <dr_willis> but the normaly  zoo of applets has been culled back
[13:33] <dr_willis> theres indicator applets for that podzinja  check askubuntu.com for a list of them all that exist

[13:34] <wrek-gar> any idea on how to set it up on a desktop?
[13:35] <dr_willis> Bartzy|work,  so that just says -t = 'to'      :) im not seeing it mentiond in any of the otehr docs ive seen
[13:35] <thegoodcushion> Anyone got an idea for software that will let me create a study guide?  I don't want a calendar because I want it to be flexible
[13:35] <dr_willis> Bartzy|work,    These options are for internal usage only and aren't documented.    heh..

[13:42] <dipankar> I am a beginner in developer side of ubuntu. Need help with user authentication process
[13:43] <dipankar> I am thinking of authenticating user from a server each time a user enter details in the login screen of ubuntu.
[13:43] <dipankar> Any help where to start with?
[13:43] <zelhar> anyone ?
[13:44] <wrek-gar> gry, hostapd -d /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
[13:44] <dr_willis> dipankar,  why are you doing this? sounds like its proberly alrleady been done in one way or another...
[13:44] <dr_willis> zelhar,  you got the proper 3d video drivers installed and going yet? what is your video chipset?
[13:44] <dr_willis> !ldap

[13:48] <jking2> hi friends, i've installed xfce4 following the installation metapackage avaiable in the software center, and then I tried to unistalled it by the same way but a lot of xfce4 packages did not go away, is there a command in the terminal that will let me uninstall all the packages that have the xfce4 in it's name?
[13:48] <zelhar> it says I already have fglrx activated
[13:48] <nopz___> I have an rsyslog rule and I want to discard any mesasge bellow the rule, so that way it's not in /var/log/syslog. Anyone knows how to do that ?
[13:49] <impulse9> hi, after upgrading my ubuntu from 10 to 11, my super key stopped working
[13:49] <impulse9> shortcuts like super+e, super+n don't work anymore
[13:49] <impulse9> is there a way to fix this?
[13:50] <book1> i can not enter password in update-manager to install updates. auth window appears and dissapears shaking( like i entered not correct password). how can i fix it?
[13:51] <kinano> hey everyone
[13:51] <book1> software-center is the same
[13:51] <kinano> having problems with upgrading to 11.04, can someone help?
[13:51] <BlouBlou> kinano: what kind of problems?
[13:52] <zelhar> Since I installed "unity" When I log in to Ubuntu there are no menu bars, no launcher, and alt-F2 doesn't work, so what should I do ?
[13:52] <Mandrew> hello if i dont install the restricted extra at install and want to do that later, how do i do that later?
[13:52] <kinano> bloublou: hey, when the upgrade manager downloads the packages, two files throw erros
[13:52] <kinano> "size mismatch"
[13:52] <BlouBlou> zelhar: unistall drivers, reboot, install nouveau, reboot again and done
[13:52] <BlouBlou> nouveau = experimental ones
[13:53] <book1>  i can not enter password in update-manager to install updates. auth window appears and dissapears shaking( like i entered not correct password). how can i fix it? maybe this happen cause i ve changed some permissions in /usr
[13:54] <zelhar> OK I'm gonna try this
[13:54] <zelhar> thank
[13:54] <zelhar> thanks
[13:54] <dr_willis> book1,  you are using your initially made user? can that user do 'sudo -s' from a terminal?
[13:55] <jking2> hi friends, i've installed xfce4 following the installation metapackage avaiable in the software center, and then I tried to unistalled it by the same way but a lot of xfce4 packages did not go away, is there a command in the terminal that will let me uninstall all the packages that have the xfce4 in it's name?
[13:55] <book1> dr_willis:  yes. gksudo update-manager works properly too
[13:55] <dr_willis> book1,  thats weird.
[13:55] <dr_willis> !puregnome
[13:56] <dipankar> dr_willis, I am trying to make a central access system on my small network
[13:56] <dr_willis> jking2,  it can be difficult to remove all taht stuff. its just how they use meta-packages tio pull in the whold desktop
[13:56] <dr_willis> jking2,  the url above may help.
[13:56] <dipankar> dr_willis, I want to authenticate users from server end, not on the client end kept in each room
[13:57] <dr_willis> dipankar,  i thought that was one of the features of LDAP.
[13:57] <kinano> so any ideas?
[13:57] <dipankar> dr_willis, I just went through LDAP.
[13:57] <book1> dr_willis: i have default ubuntu-desktop
[13:57] <dr_willis> kinano,  try from a differmt mirror perhaps? could be the servers are getting updated, or have bad packages
[13:57] <dipankar> dr_willis, can LDAP be customized too?
[13:57] <kinano> dr_willis: i tried that
[13:58] <kinano> same problem
[13:58] <dr_willis> dipankar,  no idea. Ive never used it.
[13:58] <dr_willis> I imagine it can.. :) everthing else can be customuized to some degree
[13:58] <jking2> dr_willis: I'll try that, but the thing is that I installed xfce4 not xubuntu, but this "meta command" should work! Thanks!
[13:59] <dr_willis> jking2,  xubuntu = ubuntu with xcfe.
[13:59] <drose> hey guys I'm a gentoo guy with a HP netbook that won't boot
[13:59] <dr_willis> jking2,  xubuntu-desktop is a meta-package that pulls in all needed files for the whole xubuntu setup
[13:59] <jking2> dr_willis: I know that ;)
[13:59] <mrdeb> is 1104 a lot faster with more than 512 ram
[13:59] <drose> how on earth do you debug this distro?
[13:59] <dr_willis> mrdeb,  more ram is always good..
[14:00] <jrib> drose: #gentoo
[14:00] <mrdeb> dr_willis: not always i need to know about 512 and over
[14:00] <drose> sorry
[14:00] <dr_willis> mrdeb,  for ubuntu - more then 512 would be a boon...
[14:00] <drose> I'm a gentoo guy with a HP netbook that won't boot *ubuntu*
[14:00] <dipankar> dr_willis, I agree with that. But LDAP needs a session  to be started. I was thinking of modifying the login, so that authentication can be verified at the startup itself.
[14:00] <drose> which means I dunno what to do :)
[14:00] <gry> drose: what distro is the netbook running
[14:00] <dr_willis> i would say 1gb over 512 would be a big beinfit.
[14:01] <drose> 11. ummm?
[14:01] <jking2> dr_willis: I just wish that if the meta package lets you install all the other packages it will let you uninstall them as well.
[14:01] <dipankar> drose, can you explain a bit.
[14:01] <nopz___> I have an rsyslog rule and I want to discard any mesasge bellow the rule, so that way it's not in /var/log/syslog. Anyone knows how to do that ?
[14:01] <dr_willis> once you start hitting swap partition..  thats where the slow down happens.
[14:01] <mrdeb> how can it help if the system ising using more htan 200mb
[14:01] <mrdeb> it has 300 free
[14:01] <dipankar> drose, what did you do last after which your computer didn't boot?
[14:01] <dr_willis> jking2,  thats the deal with meta-packages,,. its a bit of a work around a complex probolem with no good answer,.'
[14:01] <drose> it stops booting with red and white dots.
[14:01] <dr_willis> mrdeb,  untill you start doing some real work
[14:02] <sudeep> hi, i have a problem with ubuntu flash video player, whenever i try to play any online video like yoputube, the video runs at fast speed, and also i no sound is there, how could i rectify it please help, i am running ubuntu 11.04 , prior it was working fine, just someday this happened, i dont know why
[14:02] <mrdeb> but until then does it help or not
[14:02] <drose> if I boot in recovery mode it runs until it says that
[14:02] <drose> it's stopping the firewall
[14:02] <dr_willis> mrdeb,  with yoru logic.. would it be help or not if the system has any ram at all... :)
[14:02] <dipankar> drose, which version of ubuntu? 11.04?
[14:03] <dr_willis> mrdeb,  it helps running apps run smoother.. if nothing is running..
[14:03] <Benkinooby> asdfasdfa, what was our channel again?
[14:03] <drose> mrdeb you need more than 512Mb RAM if you want to run firefox or something equally hungry.
[14:03] <mrdeb> but does ti help if you get close to 512 only or even if not
[14:03] <dr_willis> once You hit swap partiton.. you  have just put on the breaks...
[14:03] <drose> yes i just checked
[14:03] <drose> 11.04
[14:03] <mrdeb> there is no swap

[14:05] <snkr> Anybody has any idea when libreoffice 3.4 will be added to ubuntu repository?
[14:05] <sudeep> dipankar the problem also occurs in google chrome
[14:05] <GeekMan> oh?

[14:06] <rinkukokiri> bazhang, asked, they are  not responding to my question
[14:06] <bazhang> rinkukokiri, ##hardware and be patient
[14:06] <drose> now it's changed; last text is
[14:06] <GeekMan> THANKS :P
[14:06] <rinkukokiri> bazhang, ASKED and they IGNORED ME

[14:07] <mrdeb> use the ppa if u need 2
[14:07] <user__> hi
[14:07] <drose> i have xp with inverters
[14:07] <dipankar> drose, I am not sure though, this option is still available on 11.04
[14:08] <dipankar> sudeep, do you have adobe flash player installed?
[14:08] <snkr> mrdeb: but the current libreoffice ppa doesn't seem to have 3.4 (it says your libreoffice is up to date)
[14:08] <drose> there is no cdrom drive in this

[14:11] <sudeep> dipankar hmm, ok
[14:11] <mads-> Can I make a bash script that only copies files in a directory and not the directories?
[14:11] <Guest89499> niko

[14:11] <_ting_> my physical memory consumption is low
[14:11] <sudeep> dipankar, i will do it , lets see

[14:15] <OldFarter> hey
[14:15] <OldFarter> whats up about 32bit version being recomended
[14:15] <BlouBlou> OldFarter: if you don't know what to choose, select it, so it will work in all computers
[14:15] <jrib> OldFarter: if your hardware supports 64bit, use it
[14:16] <dipankar> OldFarter, most systems still have 32bit support, so 32bit recommended
[14:16] <OldFarter> well its a new i3 m380 processor
[14:16] <drose> dipankar you mean like samba?
[14:16] <OldFarter> this one is 64bit i think?
[14:17] <DDD> where is persian room?

[14:19] <jophish_> I'm compiling it from source at the moment
[14:19] <ultrixx> OldFarter: still there?
[14:19] <jophish_> but installing from a binary would be much better
[14:19] <OldFarter> yes
[14:19] <dipankar> sudeep, did that work?
[14:19] <OldFarter> trying to figure out to do

[14:20] <Drake|> Hey. when i run df -h I see that one of my disks are full. but even if I move files away. it still shows as full..
[14:20] <ultrixx> OldFarter: i3 can still work in 32 bit mode and will run 32 bit ubuntu of course.
[14:20] <Drake|> and i can't create even a folder cos it sais oo disk space
[14:20] <OldFarter> ofcourse
[14:21] <ultrixx> OldFarter: but in 32 bit mode you will not be able to address all of your memory. so in 32 bit you will see 3 or 3.5 gb ram and not more
[14:21] <drose> drake somespaceisreserved for root
[14:21] <OldFarter> well does ubuntu have a official mirror list
[14:21] <OldFarter> i am looking for chinese mirror
[14:21] <drose> you can't  get it normal until it's more than 5% free
[14:21] <gry> !mirrors
[14:21] <ultrixx> OldFarter: yes on ubuntu homepage
[14:21] <ultrixx> there is a list
[14:22] <OldFarter> if i download from outside of china the speed is like that of dialup
[14:22] <Pici> OldFarter: Also https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors

[14:23] <PiX3L> How do can I configure Ubuntu 10.10 to support Home Theater 2.1 ? It works great in Windows. I want it to work in Linux as like in Windows.
[14:23] <bazhang> !ir | DDD
[14:23] <bazhang> DDD, /join #ubuntu-ir
[14:24] <Pici> PiX3L: Is "Home Theater 2.1" a program, or something else? Please provide more detail in your question.
[14:25] <PiX3L> Pici: It's a sound system with one woofer.
[14:25] <sudeep> dipankar, rebooting the system, i will check if it works
[14:25] <Pici> PiX3L: So what exactly isn't working?
[14:26] <drose> drake how big isd the 100% disk?
[14:26] <drose> use df-h
[14:26] <drose> How can one debug a non-booting ubuntu install?  Can I avoid loading modules somehow?
[14:26] <PiX3L> Pici: Left right sounds works but it doesn't supports woofer. Doesn't works perfectly as it should be.

[14:27] <bobberman> Ive got a problem after updating from ubuntu 8.04 to 10.04. I tried installing gitolite and this happend: "No candidate version found for gitolite" any ideas?
[14:28] <drose> by default then 90Gb is reserved for root for when the disk is full
[14:28] <drose> man tune2fs and look for -m
[14:28] <ActionParsnip> drose: add the bootoption:   modulename.blacklist=1
[14:28] <jrib> bobberman: so you already updated and are now on 10.04?
[14:28] <asdjaputra> Benkinooby, hey
[14:28] <Pici> PiX3L: Then it would be best to state that in your question.  You might want to check whether all your outputs are listed in your sound preferences, also running 'alsamixer' on a terminal and make sure that the proper outputs have their volumes high enough and are not muted.
[14:28] <bobberman> jrib: yes
[14:28] <ActionParsnip> drose: that will make modulename  not load at boot, dead handy for Nvidia video chips who don't play nice with nouveau
[14:28] <drose> but when I reduced mine I lost data
[14:29] <Drake|> drose: I think Ive been moving more than 90Gb but ill take some extra to me sure.. ty for the help so far
[14:29] <jrib> bobberman: that package does not seem to exist in lucid
[14:29] <drose> ActionParsnip how do i kjnow what module is troubblesome?
[14:29] <drose> or even if it is a module?
[14:29] <bobberman> but when i use "aptitude search " it finds the package
[14:29] <drose> jrib i don't care how it was installed
[14:29] <jrib> drose: I do.
[14:29] <drose> my working theory is that either

[14:30] <OldFarter> maybe use IP geolocation to suggest mirror?
[14:31] <drose> or the firmware's messed up and the ubuntu driver's affected

[14:35] <_ting_> it is due to the limit of memory for each app in linux?
[14:36] <drose> you could play with the ulimit command
[14:36] <drose> man ulimit
[14:36] <drose> or find a programming channel

[14:50] <virgo> thanks ActionParsnip
[14:51] <thunder1212> ActionParsnip: no
[14:51] <ActionParsnip> thunder1212: there is nouveau and nv which can also drive the chip

[15:04] <Ntemis> did natty put desktop in it?
[15:04] <jrib> Ntemis: is firefox installed...?
[15:04] <ActionParsnip> amalgama: so you install gnome 3?
[15:04] <Pici> Ntemis: Nothing, its a known problem.. Let me get you a link.
[15:04] <jrib> ah
[15:05] <Ntemis> Pici: thanks
[15:05] <Ntemis> how i remedy this issue?
[15:05] <Ntemis> jrib: without any issues
[15:05] <Pici> Ntemis: It looks like it should be fixed. Just do an apt-get update first.  See http://pad.lv/800857 for details.
[15:05] <netsurf3> amalgama, it sounds like something got messed up during the update and it took some part of GTK with it. there is a utility that verifies installed packages if they have changed from the originals let me see if i can find the name of it
[15:06] <amalgama> ActionParsnip: honestly.. no. I dont know if i did anything stupid by pressing a yes to any dependencies of an app, and not have checked it before or during an installation.
[15:06] <netsurf3> amalgama, its called debsums
[15:07] <netsurf3> link incoming
[15:07] <netsurf3> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1646925
[15:07] <virgo> my driver window says, that the recommended driver is activated, but not in use. Is this normal?
[15:07] <ActionParsnip> amalgama: that would explain the gtk 3 bits
[15:07] <ohir> donkeyinspace: hm.... could be, there is no softlinks on that
[15:08] <Ntemis> Pici: i am doing it now: apt-get update
[15:08] <ActionParsnip> virgo: recommended driver for what?
[15:08] <virgo> Nvidia
[15:08] <Ang3> o/
[15:08] <ActionParsnip> virgo: and which driver is it?
[15:08] <amalgama> ActionParsnip, netsurf3 : i see in synaptic that gnome 3 is installed. pfff.. do u think an uninstall of gnome 3 would be ok, or would it lead to more problems??
[15:08] <virgo> geforce 9500 recommended driver
[15:08] <Ang3> i'm trying to setup a OpenVPN on my Ubuntu Serv. I got some issue it won't start. Any ideas ?
[15:08] <ohir> donkeyinspace: so follow grub4dos path or check if your box can have bios ubgraded
[15:08] <ActionParsnip> amalgama: it will need removing as well as the PPA, then you will need to manually reinstall all the gnome 2 stuff, very messy
[15:09] <craigbass1976> What's the best way to get rid of X and any window system.    I started off with a lubuntu install, but new monitor wouldn't work properly with it.  Installed GNOME (and gdm) and things were fine until an update yesterday.
[15:09] <ActionParsnip> amalgama: gnome 3 is not stable in ubuntu
[15:09] <Ntemis> Pici: now what?
[15:09] <Ntemis> how i fix this?
[15:09] <drose> ah this is a waste of time
[15:09] <Pici> Ntemis: Did you actually install firefox?
[15:09] <Ntemis> apt-get purge firefox?
[15:09] <Ntemis> yes :(
[15:09] <ohir> donkeyinspace: most modern bioses can boot pen as usb-hdd (selected usually in [boot options] menu of bios)
[15:09] <ActionParsnip> craigbass1976: uninstall xorg and the rest will be autoremoved. You will then boot to a CLI system
[15:09] <drose> I can't fix this guy's netbook
[15:09] <Pici> Ntemis: Yes, apt-get purge firefox
[15:10] <craigbass1976> ActionParsnip: thanks.  That's what Im booting to now anyway.  :)
[15:10] <amalgama> ActionParsnip: plus to that, i am running a wubi installation...
[15:10] <netsurf3> hmmm amalgama you should be able to find out what you installed by looking in the /var/log/dpkg.log
[15:10] <ActionParsnip> amalgama: thats fine, its still not stable. I'd just reinstall then restore user data from backup. Then stay away from gnome3
[15:10] <ohir> donkeyinspace: I really can not help you more, as I haven't cope with box that cannot boot pen for very long time
[15:11] <Ntemis> Pici: thanks autoremove worked, am back on track
[15:11] <craigbass1976> ActionParsnip: gdm is still in /etc.  Should I have purged?  I want a fresh slate
[15:11] <Pici> Ntemis: great.  I accidentally did the same thing on my server yesterday.
[15:11] <Ntemis> and 200mb space gain ;)
[15:11] <amalgama>  ActionParsnip, netsurf3 : thanx for your help ppl.. really useful.. love irc :))
[15:11] <thunder1212> ActionParsnip: it did not work..
[15:12] <Ntemis> Pici: will it put in for update again?
[15:12] <donkeyinspace> ohir , ok , appreciated , you gave me enough tips to be busy for some time
[15:12] <ohir> donkeyinspace: you may check how grub4dos pen works installing i.e. puppylinux
[15:13] <Pici> Ntemis: No, it won't. the bug was fixed.
[15:13] <ActionParsnip> craigbass1976: yeah:  sudo apt-get --purge remove xorg; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove
[15:13] <Ntemis> Pici: will it update those packages gain if i run apt-get update?
[15:13] <Pici> Ntemis: Nope.
[15:13] <ActionParsnip> Ntemis: nicec gain :)
[15:13] <Ntemis> ok thanks again pici
[15:13] <ohir> donkeyinspace: or just use live pen with persistent config as described here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent
[15:14] <Ntemis> should i run pat-get clean after that?
[15:14] <donkeyinspace> ohir , dont know where to choose now   : )
[15:15] <Ntemis> ok fixed!
[15:15] <Ntemis> thanks alot guys
[15:15] <Ntemis> over and out
[15:15] <Ntemis> sweeett

[15:18] <DJHenjin> is it possible to install a GUI onto ubuntu 11.04 server?
[15:18] <thunder1212> i even tried downloading the indicidual pckages from net but theres always some conflict or the other
[15:18] <ActionParsnip> ittyT: look in ~/.config/menus
[15:18] <Pantsu> ittyT: look for it in  ~/.local/share/applications/
[15:18] <Pantsu> too
[15:18] <ActionParsnip> ittyT: I believe there is a menu item which gets integrated there.
[15:19] <soupermichael> can i send to channel?

[15:19] <DJHenjin> thank you Benkinooby
[15:19] <Benkinooby> DJHenjin, np
[15:20] <Benkinooby> DJHenjin, was the first hit on googling "X on ubuntu server" ...
[15:20] <chat> hello
[15:20] <ittyT> thx, will try that @guys
[15:21] <Guest28755> anyone there?
[15:21] <ltaverne> When copying a file from a cd-r I get "Error splicing file: input/output error" ubuntu 10.04
[15:21] <ActionParsnip> DJHenjin: if you wanted a desktop OS, why didn't you just install the desktop OS?
[15:21] <SystemDefault0> Guest28755: Hi, how may I help you?
[15:21] <Pantsu> Guest28755: nope, noone is here
[15:21] <DJHenjin> ActionParsnip because its for a server
[15:21] <Pantsu> Guest28755: I would suggest changing your nick btw
[15:21] <ittyT> Guest28755,  just ask
[15:21] <Guest28755> hi I would appreciate some assistance for ubuntu
[15:22] <Pici> !asL
[15:22] <ActionParsnip> DJHenjin: maybe but the whole idea of server is to be desktopless
[15:22] <Pici> !ask
[15:22] <ittyT> Guest28755,  try /nick yourname
[15:22] <ActionParsnip> DJHenjin: you can install any of the server apps on the desktop OS
[15:22] <thunder1212> plz tell me how can i manually install the experimental drivers for nvidia..
[15:22] <Guest28755> ok the windows navigation bar only shows arrows now on ubuntu
[15:22] <Guest28755> it used to show the previous folders as images
[15:22] <DJHenjin> if a person installs X on the server they can start it or stop it when they want right? like it wont come up on boot until you start it?
[15:22] <Pantsu> thunder1212: you can find the beta drivers in ppa
[15:22] <SystemDefault0> thunder1212: Manually? "hy?
[15:22] <Guest28755> so that i could just click on the previous folder to access them
[15:22] <Pantsu> thunder1212: don't install them manually, just use ppa
[15:22] <SystemDefault0> thunder1212: Why?
[15:23] <Guest28755> how can I restore that
[15:23] <thunder1212> Pantsu: how?
[15:23] <ActionParsnip> thunder1212: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/nouveau; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -y install xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
[15:23] <thunder1212> SystemDefault: bcoz its not there in the repos
[15:23] <virgo> are the nvidia drivers version 173 newer than the recommended second option from aditional driver list ?
[15:23] <ActionParsnip> DJHenjin: sure with a boot option
[15:23] <Pantsu> virgo: 173xx is only for nvidia 5xxx cards
[15:24] <thunder1212> ActionParsnip: ok am trying now ..
[15:24] <ActionParsnip> thunder1212: the build is 7 days old :)
[15:24] <Guest28755> the navigation bar used to show previous folders back to back so i could just click on them but not anymore
[15:24] <Guest28755> now i have to use the back and forth arrows
[15:24] <Guest28755> how do i restore that
[15:25] <Guest28755> where do i go in system settings
[15:25] <ActionParsnip> thunder1212: I recommend you remove the ppa after or it will upgrade xorg to the bleeding edge version
[15:25] <thunder1212> ActionParsnip: ok
[15:25] <SystemDefault0> Bye.

[15:28] <Pantsu> bz-hon: define "doesn't work"
[15:28] <boshaus> ubuntu restarted and is having problems mounting some of the folders.. when I boot up ti says disk drive for / is not ready yet or present. I can press "m" for manual recovery and see my whole filesystem so i imagine something is just pointed wrong
[15:29] <boshaus> any idea where I"d go to fix that?
[15:29] <boshaus> doens't seem to be /etc/fstab
[15:29] <dr_Willis_>  / is in fstab
[15:29] <BluesKaj> bz-hon, use the partition editor to create ext4 partiton for ubuntu
[15:30] <dr_Willis_> could be hd is slow to spinup
[15:30] <boshaus> its a new sata drive, even if I tell it to wait it hangs up.. if I say skip then it complains about /tmp etc which isn't in fstab
[15:30] <toxic8> I just switched my desktop to classic, from Unity on Natty. What is "classic" exactly - KDE? GNOME?
[15:30] <Pici> toxic8: GNOME 2.x
[15:31] <toxic8> Pici: thank you, like it MUCH better :]

[15:31] <dr_Willis_> so could be / is somehow wrong  but the system does boot?
[15:32] <boshaus> I can hit m for manual mode and it throws me in as root and I can see the filesystem
[15:32] <boshaus> but its not actually booting
[15:33] <diogo_79> hi

[15:34] <diogo_79> my tools are apache php mysql
[15:34] <dr_Willis_> boshaus: fsck the filesystem

[15:42] <Grav> Is it necessary to have a swap partition for ubuntu and how large should it be?
[15:42] <dr_Willis_> Grav:  good idea of ay least ram id you want to suspend
[15:43] <sipior> Grav: generally, for optimum memory usage, you'll want a swap partition roughly equal in size to the amount of installed ram.
[15:43] <Guest28755> i can no longer click on the folder images on may navigation bar to get to the previous folder
[15:43] <Guest28755> i can only use the back arrow and forward arrow

[15:49] <dr_Willis_> DamnSoGooD:  several
[15:49] <Grav> dr_Willis_, sipior: I'haven't created swap partition when i installed system and now I see ubuntu can't manage memory. I got 2gb ram and system freezes always when it's full. And it's getting full fast. It's never cleared. I know there is probably nothing that can be done about it.
[15:49] <DamnSoGooD> what is it doc?
[15:50] <thunder1212> ActionParsnip: u want me to install xserver-xorg-video-nouveau?
[15:50] <dr_Willis_> DamnSoGooD:  winff. ffmpeg. mencoder. avidea ?. and probrtly more
[15:50] <dr_Willis_> search the repos

[15:51] <dr_Willis_> DamnSoGooD:  yes to both counts..
[15:51] <louis_> Hi, anyone experienced this bug? : when I login to unity gives me the side dock if I go to the yop bar there is basic menu. ie. places... help. but if I start an app lets say terminal then after i close terminal the name of the app stays in top bar. always and any app.
[15:51] <sipior> Grav: linux can manage memory just fine, but it will kill processes to satisfy memory needs. memory is generally not "cleared" in modern operating systems, simply replaced by new cached material. adding a swap file is pretty easy, though, and will give your system quite a bit more room to maneuver.
[15:51] <DamnSoGooD> Grav: you must make a swap partition because it also serves as RAM between mounted volumes
[15:51] <RayKay> www.sourmath.com/
[15:52] <sipior> Grav: have a look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq

[15:53] <louis_> i use lenovo thinkpad t510 :)
[15:53] <DamnSoGooD> RayKay: it's a gay porn standalone flashvideo
[15:53] <BluesKaj> lolicon, just ask your question

[15:53] <RayKay> lol
[15:55] <lolicon> BluesKaj: I'm planning to buy a E520 and I want to know about the compatible problems. especially the switchable graphics cards feature.
[15:55] <InfiniteSet> I was just wondering but is LibreOffice compatiable with Microsoft Word?
[15:56] <dr_Willis_> swithcable gfx cards are nit well supported yet
[15:56] <tarzeau> InfiniteSet: more or less, yes
[15:56] <Grav> Ok i will try to make a swap file. I was just wondering I have never run out of memory on windows, having many process in background, or playing games. And ubuntu can crash when i have firefox opened few hours and try to open another process. Don't know why it's happening on ubuntu.
[15:56] <tarzeau> InfiniteSet: the problems are not exact same rendering, if you miss fonts you miss them..
[15:56] <louis_> an other problem... I use ubuntu classic theme because the unity gives troubles. but in classic i resize a window and at the top left corner a black square appears. and grows as i resize. and covers the top bar.
[15:57] <RedRobot> InfiniteSet: mostly
[15:57] <InfiniteSet> tarzeau, RedRobot: Mostly? What things are not compatiable with it?
[15:57] <RedRobot> yep
[15:57] <BluesKaj> lolicon, there is a solution , but it involves using the performance setting for most effects , you may not like it . That's all I know about it
[15:57] <tarzeau> InfiniteSet: rendering can be a problem, you don't have wordart
[15:57] <tarzeau> InfiniteSet: many small things like that.
[15:58] <RedRobot> eg some of the drm/security crud, and embedded activex and other horrible things
[15:58] <RedRobot> mostly things you don't want to use anyway
[15:58] <tarzeau> RedRobot: ms word and the other products from office are horrible
[15:58] <RedRobot> indeed
[15:58] <InfiniteSet> Okay haha, alright Thanks
[15:58] <RedRobot> I prefer latex when writing anything non-trivial
[15:59] <BluesKaj> !pm | lolicon
[15:59] <lolicon> BluesKaj: what about AMD ?
[15:59] <vooze> I'm setting up, ubuntu server, should i use LVM (i have 3 x 2TB HD's) ?
[16:00] <dr_Willis_> !lvm
[16:00] <dr_Willis_> i find it more hassle then its worth  lvm
[16:01] <BluesKaj> lolicon, it has to do with the graphics gpus on the laptop more than the cpu
[16:01] <dr_Willis_> but yoir needa mau differ
[16:01] <RedRobot> vooze: remember that a default lvm2 setup is like raid0, lose a disk and _all_ the data is gone
[16:01] <vooze> okay dr_willis its just a NAS server, so i guess without is fine
[16:01] <RedRobot> vooze: I would suggest an extra disk and software raid6
[16:02] <RedRobot> asuming performance is not critical
[16:02] <craigbass1976> ok, wits end...  I removed all traces of X, reinstalled thatand GNOME, and still land at a text login.  /var/log/Xorg.0.log says, among other things, no screens found.  It also says (I think this is particularly funny) Please also check the log file at "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" for additional information...
[16:02] <vooze> RedRobot: if i buy one more disk, and setup RAID6, how much data will i have then?
[16:03] <dr_Willis_> craigbass1976:  video card is?
[16:03] <craigbass1976> dr_willis nvidia Ibelieve
[16:03] <craigbass1976> dr_willis things worked until an update yesterday
[16:04] <RedRobot> vooze: 4tb
[16:04] <RedRobot> vooze: raid6 is n-2, raid5 is n-1
[16:04] <virgo> is it possible to increase sound volume more than 100%? i think i have looked everywhere and there is 100% but still not strong enough
[16:05] <lolicon> BluesKaj: it's acceptable to switch graphics cards in the bios. but the integated card can't be disabled in E520. Will it be any problem?
[16:05] <RedRobot> but with raid5, it is not unlikely to get data corruption or a disk loss while you are rebuilding from a single disc failure
[16:05] <RedRobot> it can literally take days to rebuild a large raid5 array
[16:05] <RedRobot> virgo: some apps allows you to do it, eg using softvol in mplayer
[16:06] <dr_Willis_> virgo:  vlc can
[16:06] <z3ro> @BluesKaj : can you help me ask my question
[16:06] <virgo> haha, thing with vlc is it shows me blue viedo :(
[16:06] <mtec007> looking for a virtual machine that doesnt have to modify the kernel. the kernel i am using, the source isnt available
[16:07] <dr_Willis_> virgo:  try other cid
[16:07] <sudokill> virgo, ur better off using an amp or something. i use a mini hifi for pc speakers. otherwise ud get massive distortion
[16:07] <dr_Willis_> vid out options n vlc
[16:07] <lolicon> BluesKaj: E520 uses a strange policy on switchable graphics cards. that' s why i ask who are using it.
[16:09] <craigbass1976> dr_willis everything I'm finding on setting up nvidia and so forth explains how to do it from the GUI.
[16:10] <szal> craigbass1976: setting up nVidia from the terminal is a no-brainer -> sudo apt-get install $nvidia [replace w/ actual pkg name; don't want to look that up now ;)], sudo nvidia-xconfig, reboot
[16:13] <ArmyMan007> hello... i can't play anything using my laptop's built-in speakers. can anyone please help me out?

[16:14] <sudokill> hi
[16:14] <PythonSnake> i'm trying to get ubuntu
[16:14] <Sub_Zero> Every so often bits of either the bottom or top panels have a chuck go missing from them http://i.imgur.com/22SBc.png Anyone seen this before?
[16:14] <lolicon> BluesKaj: lenovo thinkpad edge e520
[16:14] <PythonSnake> is 11.04 or 10.10 better?
[16:14] <sudokill> PythonSnake, download it from their website
[16:14] <ArmyMan007> szal: won't help, already looked at it
[16:14] <PythonSnake> sudokill: 10 or 11 is better
[16:15] <sudokill> PythonSnake, 11.04 has newer kernel etc
[16:15] <sudokill> go for 11.04
[16:15] <sudokill> u can use the classic interface to make it look like 10.10
[16:15] <PythonSnake> ok
[16:15] <Snake__> Hi guys
[16:15] <PythonSnake> is 11.04 buggy?
[16:15] <Sub_Zero> One thing I don't like about 11.04 is unity. The file menu is on your top panel and your scroll bar disappears. I much prefer metacity.
[16:15] <PythonSnake> Hi Snake__
[16:16] <Ufonautas> 11.04 is buggy with Ati Catalyst Drivers
[16:16] <sudokill> PythonSnake, i did have problems with 11.04 but theyre probably fixed now was when it was very first released
[16:16] <Pici> Ufonautas: It works fine for me.
[16:16] <ArmyMan007> can anyone help me please?
[16:16] <Ufonautas> Pici, have you tried clean install?
[16:16] <Snake__> what do you guys think of women not being there for their children and becoming like men
[16:16] <sudokill> PythonSnake, just try 11.04 see what happens
[16:16] <PythonSnake> I use intel graphics
[16:16] <kdog> Firefox in 10.10 is messing up the screen buffer on other workspaces. It seems to be flash banner ads. Anyone else come across this?
[16:16] <Pici> !ot | Snake__
[16:16] <Pici> Ufonautas: It was an upgrade.
[16:17] <nickkontos> hello, I have an onboard intel audio card and just out of nowhere I have no sound. on sound preferences I only see a dummy output. ubuntu 11.04, intel N10/ICH 7 Family hda audio
[16:17] <blkdg> hi, has anyone here used user agent switcher + ubuntu + firefox?
[16:17] <sudokill> PythonSnake, ur better off using the newest kernel for intel graphics

[16:18] <Ufonautas> Anybody know fix for slow Broadcom Wifi?
[16:19] <jbwiv> guys, is there any open equivalent to landscape?
[16:19] <sudokill> try osalt.com or alternativeto
[16:19] <sudokill> idk what landscape is
[16:20] <miguel29> hello there...
[16:20] <Pici> sudokill: You don't need to answer if you don't know anything about the issue.
[16:20] <miguel29> I installed ubuntu and need to install some virtualization so I can run win xp into it...
[16:20] <sudokill> theyre useful sites for open source alternatives
[16:20] <obscurant1st> i am doing scrub to a 160GB harddisk. approximately how much time it will take?
[16:21] <sudokill> miguel29, install virtualbox
[16:21] <miguel29> I am new to linux and don't know how to install any software
[16:22] <Ufonautas> miguel20, Try Ubuntu Software center and search for VirtualBox
[16:22] <Pici> jbwiv: You can use something like puppet to perform the tasks that landscape would provide for you.
[16:22] <miguel29> sudokill: I downloaded it and tried to install it....  but when I double clicked it then it did not install anything....
[16:22] <sudokill> im not sure if u need ppa for it
[16:22] <Pici> jbwiv: Or ask for other alternatives in #ubuntu-server
[16:22] <sudokill> miguel29, its not like windows
[16:22] <miguel29> The thing is that I need a solution to install in a computer off line
[16:22] <miguel29> this computer has no internet connection at the moment
[16:23] <sudokill> will it ever have an internet connection?
[16:23] <miguel29> sudokill:  how can I run and install it?
[16:23] <sudokill> if not ull have a hard time
[16:23] <Ufonautas> migue129 http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads Download .deb and copy it via Usb or somehow to your Ubuntu machine
[16:23] <miguel29> sudokill: it will, the thing is that I use a 3G dongle and my limit has come to an end this month... I have to wait till the 2nd july
[16:24] <sudokill> ah ok
[16:24] <miguel29> Ufonautas: thank you...
[16:24] <sudokill> i think on the virtualbox u can download deb file if u doubleclick it it should come up in software centre to install
[16:24] <miguel29> what is the difference between i386   and AMD64?
[16:24] <sudokill> basically 32 but or 64
[16:24] <sudokill> bit*
[16:25] <miguel29> oh ok
[16:25] <RedRobot> miguel29: just use aptitude or apt-get
[16:25] <sudokill> he has no internet tho
[16:25] <miguel29> I would like to, but it is not a solution at the moment...   no internet connection
[16:26] <sudokill> miguel, can u not connect the cable to whatever comp ur using now just to install it?
[16:26] <miguel29> I also noticed that on my 'connections'   it does not show the available wireless connections.....  how do I ennable it?
[16:27] <miguel29> sudokill: I can't as i am using an internet cafe   just to download the right files and get info
[16:27] <RedRobot> miguel29: you can download the .deb from http://packages.ubuntu.com/
[16:27] <RedRobot> and just move them over using a usb stick or whatever and then install
[16:28] <virgo> choosing digital output enables increase volume over 100%

[16:29] <vyvea> Hello, how to fix this? You don't have permission to access /folder/ on this server. (Apache)
[16:29] <miguel29> RedRobot: ok, thank you    I downloaded the first one in the list :  http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads
[16:29] <RedRobot> miguel29: get the .deb from the ubuntu package archive instead
[16:30] <Ufonautas> vyvea i'm not sure, but sudo chown /folder yourusername.yourusername
[16:30] <miguel29> redrobot, what is the difference?    this one is a .deb file too   :S
[16:30] <craigbass1976> szal: what package is nvidia-xconfig part of?  I've no such command, and have installed what I thought were all the nvidia packages I needed.
[16:31] <szal> craigbass1976: nvidia-current: /usr/lib/nvidia-current/bin/nvidia-xconfig
[16:32] <RedRobot> craigbass1976: use nvidia-settings instead,

[16:35] <firebus> just installed 11.04 on a new thinkpad t420, and i'm getting random kernel panic/crashes. how do i go about troubleshooting the issue? would an older version, or 32-bit kernel be more stable?
[16:35] <RedRobot> firebus: highly unlikely, in fact, old kernels won't work at all because of the new chipset
[16:35] <woutervddn> @firebus I use the previous kernel aswel.. it's stuck on boot with the new one :)
[16:35] <woutervddn> *as well
[16:36] <RedRobot> .36 iirc is the oldest you can use on that laptop
[16:36] <zvacet> !ask | Cautex
[16:37] <szal> zvacet: slowness is slow, eh?! ;)
[16:37] <firebus> RedRobot - but does that mean i need to use 11.04? i'm wondering if 10.xx would be more stable? but that's just a stab in the dark...is there any good way to figure out what's causing the crashes?
[16:37] <RedRobot> firebus: most likely too old to work
[16:37] <zvacet> szal:   ?   :o
[16:38] <nickkontos> please, any help, ubuntu 11.04, no sound card detected, had same version installed in the morning and worked out-of-the-box (sound card onboard intel  N10/ICH 7 Family High Definition Audio), already followed documentation with no results
[16:38] <RedRobot> firebus: and no need to install an outdated ubuntu version just to try an older kernel
[16:38] <szal> zvacet: [17:34:28] <-- Cautex has left this server (Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.87 [Firefox 5.0/20110615151330]).
[16:38] <firebus> RedRobot: sure, but i don't know yet if it's really a kernel problem, or a driver issue, or some other piece of software in the distro :(
[16:39] <zvacet> szal: I didn´t saw tnx and you are right I´m slow
[16:39] <jbwiv> Pici, ok, thanks
[16:39] <firebus> RedRobot: thanks for the feedback!
[16:40] <craigbass1976> RedRobot: as in nvidia-settings -r, or something else?
[16:40] <szal> craigbass1976: are you sure you didn't fall victim to a typo?
[16:40] <testosin> !help
[16:41] <RedRobot> craigbass1976: just run it with no args, tweak the settings as you like and then save the config

[16:43] <roobter> russia ?
[16:44] <Pici> !ru | roobter
[16:44] <nickkontos> testosin, i think there's something going on with an update... I have the same problem.
[16:45] <testosin> I did not update
[16:45] <testosin> also, Im on an old linux mint. so its use lucid packages that have almost no updates
[16:45] <nickkontos> testosin, well, then it's just a coincidence
[16:47] <DamnSoGooD> do we have a download accelerator for chromium?
[16:47] <Pici> testosin: We do not support Mint here. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org
[16:49] <testosin> ok. Pici , but its basically the same xd
[16:49] <ittyT> when i start the first time my fresh installed ubuntu 11.04 it asks me if i want to encrypt my home directory. since im using a lvm with dm crypt, is there a chance to get rid of the other seperate home encryption?
[16:51] <craigbass1976> RedRobot: when I run it with no arguments though, I'm told to run it with --help
[16:52] <RedRobot> craigbass1976: uhm, not normal
[16:52] <DamnSoGooD> dr_willis: sad to say but i didn't find an app that will convert a video file to my desired formats, they only have so called presets
[16:52] <RedRobot> craigbass1976: you are running it from inside X right?
[16:52] <craigbass1976> RedRobot: no.  X won't start

[16:54] <Guest99752> I just messed up my 2 months old ubuntu installation, it does not boot. What I did was removing the nvidia 270 drivers already installed by ubuntu package manager in order to install nvidia 260 script drivers from the nvidia site. I tried everything, from booting into recovery mode to failsafeX, but it freezes without giving me any change to log in. I also tried to manually do an apt-get purge nvidia* and a apt-get insta
[16:54] <Guest99752> ll nvidia-current but it didn't work:  Now all I get right after splash is a deep freeze.

[16:56] <miguel29> 11.04
[16:56] <miguel29> wireless connection
[16:57] <RedRobot> miguel29: depends on your wifi card
[16:57] <pietr101> sipior: hello. for example give tcp22 (sshd) high priority, so it will run fast even under high network load
[16:57] <craigbass1976> RedRobot: http://pastebin.com/aM32UB5U  I don't see datestamps in there; it was 11:54 my time right after I did a sudo startx
[16:58] <pietr101> when i download a file (via http protocol) from my ubuntu box, then ssh has a long response time
[16:58] <miguel29> RedRobot: sorry, my question wasn't very specific...   I managed to install the wireless card...  however I would like to enable the functionality to view the available connections
[16:58] <Ampelbein> deucep: what happens and what do you expect to happen?
[16:58] <sipior> pietr101: what you're referring to is generally known as "Quality of Service" (QoS).
[16:59] <RedRobot> craigbass1976: I can't open pastebin.com and wouldn't if I could. I don't like ads, specially not ads with js exploits etc
[16:59] <RedRobot> craigbass1976: also, do not run X as root, that's rather unsafe and silly
[16:59] <sipior> pietr101: might be useful as a place to start: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=7990
[17:00] <deucep> Ampelbein: I get a list of filenames but most of them do not contain the search string I am looking for they all match only part of the string
[17:00] <pietr101> sipior: thank you man. I will take a look at it :D
[17:00] <miguel29> how can I enable the functionality to view the available wireless connections in ubuntu 11.04

[17:00] <Guest99752> miguel29 do you have a wireless icon near the clock?
[17:00] <miguel29> yes

[17:01] <Guest99752> click it,
[17:01] <Guest99752> it should show the available connections
[17:01] <miguel29> guest997552:  yes, but when I click it, there are no connections....only the availability to create a new one
[17:01] <ittyT> when i start my 11.04 the first time it asked my if i want to encrypt my home dir. which encryption is that ? cryptsetup? wanna get rid of it
[17:01] <Faustus2> anyone know of a workaround for usb3 problem in ubuntu 11.04, where the disk does not seem to be detected, also my system freezes! might be  Bug #775543 ... (works when i blacklist xhci_hcd, but then only as usb2)

[17:03] <Zajjko> Is there a special channel for issues regarding upgrading from 10.10 to 11.04 (server)?
[17:03] <Pici> Zajjko: #ubuntu-server exists.

[17:04] <Ampelbein> deucep: can you paste your file to paste.ubuntu.com?
[17:04] <deucep> Ampelbein: I have files that are reports generated with a standard file name so multiple reports are under a filename that does not describe the actual type of report but there is the report type listed as a string in each file, my goal is to use grep to search for the string and then move the files and rename them accordingly

[17:06] <deucep> jbwiv: are you using samba
[17:06] <jpds> deucep: No.
[17:06] <Ampelbein> deucep: I guess your pattern needs to be more strict if you find more files than expected.
[17:06] <jbwiv> deucep, no
[17:06] <llutz> jbwiv: yes, you have to modify the dir in the way shown above
[17:06] <deucep> jpds: Mistell sorry about that
[17:07] <llutz> jbwiv: man chmod "SETUID AND SETGID BITS"
[17:07] <jbwiv> llutz, ah, so is +s sticky bit?
[17:07] <jbwiv> llutz, ok, i'll take a look at that. thanks
[17:07] <Ampelbein> deucep: but without actual data it's hard to tell. maybe -F is what you are looking for?
[17:07] <Zajjko> Just upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04 and now the system halts during boot (during or after Stopping System V runlevel compatibility)

[17:11] <Ampelbein> deucep: sure
[17:11] <llutz> jbwiv:  argh, sry. setuid won't work on linux, only setgid.
[17:11] <jbwiv> llutz, hmm...ok. setgid might be enough

[17:30] <lng> wlan0 No scan results
[17:30] <lng> toobad
[17:30] <edbian> lng: What card do you have?
[17:31] <Pici> Letterbomb05: apache2ctl -S
[17:31] <Letterbomb05> thanks very much Pici
[17:31] <lng> edbian: I don't know
[17:31] <lng> need to google maybe
[17:32] <edbian> lng: sudo lspci -k    will tell you.  Or you can pastebin it and I'll read it (it's kinda long)
[17:32] <edbian> lng: You know how to pastebin? (I assume we're trying to get wifi working here)
[17:32] <OldFarter> where do i find the md5sums for CD images ?
[17:32] <Pici> !hashes | OldFarter
[17:32] <lng> edbian: I know
[17:33] <Pici> OldFarter: They should also be in an MD5SUMS file on the mirror you go the isos from. (iirc)
[17:33] <koppe> Problem after doing clean install to Ubuntu 11.04 on my Eee...  Attempting to connect to wireless network, freezes the computer totally.  Wireless worked well on previous version.
[17:33] <madadam1> hi someone knows the protocol I have to use to remotely login to a mac from ubuntu?
[17:33] <madadam1> like smb://
[17:34] <ittyT> mac? go to hell :)
[17:34] <the_anuj> madadam1: afp:// if you have support.
[17:34] <IdleOne> !language | ittyT
[17:34] <madadam1> the_anuj, which machine should support it? mac or linux?
[17:35] <the_anuj> madadam1: afp is the apple filesharing protocol, so if you have sharing enabled on your mac and netatalk set up on ubuntu, you should be good to go.
[17:35] <RedRobot> madadam1: if you are talking about file sharing, just use cifs
[17:36] <RedRobot> osX supports cifs
[17:36] <lng> edbian: I posting from Gentoo here
[17:36] <the_anuj> madadam1: but if you're talking about "remote login" in the somewhat correct sense of the word, you just need ssh
[17:36] <koppe> madadam1: Depends on what the Mac is running.  SSH (ie. sftp) may also be used for transfering files.
[17:36] <lng> edbian: I have wifi up!
[17:36] <lng> RedRobot: thanks
[17:36] <nimbiotics> hello ya'll. I need help sharing my internet connection using firestarter. I followed the wizar, but everytime I try to start the firewall, I get "the device eth0 is not ready". Can someone please guide me? TIA!
[17:36] <edbian> lng: wow
[17:36] <lng> edbian: thanks
[17:36] <edbian> I did nothing
[17:36] <edbian> That, was a miracle
[17:36] <lng> anyway))
[17:36] <madadam1> I just would have file sharing. I've samba on linux
[17:36] <lng> that was that button
[17:36] <lng> RedRobot mentioned
[17:36] <RedRobot> madadam1: osX does cifs (aka samba) too
[17:37] <lng> cheers
[17:37] <the_anuj> afk
[17:37] <madadam1> RedRobot, so How should I write in nautilus protocol://adress? which is the protocol?
[17:37] <RedRobot> madadam1: if you have gvfs-smb installed, just smb://
[17:37] <RedRobot> asuming you have a somewhat up to date nautilus
[17:38] <RedRobot> or use the connec to dialog
[17:38] <madadam1> smb:// doesn't work, it says that the source is unreacheable
[17:38] <madadam1> I've both machines with static ip adress connected to a switch, same subnet, same workgroup
[17:39] <RedRobot> have you actually enabled the sharing in osx?
[17:40] <madadam1> RedRobot, yes
[17:40] <madadam1> I'll make another attempt
[17:40] <RedRobot> try the full path to the share
[17:40] <Faustus2> is there a way to tell ubuntu not to show icon for a specific external hdd on the desktop? (but i want others to show up on the desktop)
[17:40] <RedRobot> Faustus2: can use a udev rule for it
[17:41] <madadam1> RedRobot, I've not set any folder to be shared
[17:41] <RedRobot> madadam1: then it won't work
[17:41] <madadam1> RedRobot, how could I set this option? right click on the folder?
[17:42] <RedRobot> no idea how it's done in osX
[17:42] <kjelle> hi, I am trying to install 11.04 live (amd64), but it doesnt seem to come with LVM. So I setup LVM myself, however, how do i start the old text-based installer from console?
[17:43] <Faustus2> RedRobot: thanks :)
[17:43] <Pici> kjelle: you can't do it from the Live CD, only the alternate, server, and minimal CDs have that.
[17:43] <kjelle> aha
[17:43] <kjelle> ill put the alternate on my usbstick then ;)
[17:45] <pte> could someone explain the ERR logs in istalling PDO to PHP:
[17:45] <pte> http://paste.ubuntu.com/631283/ ?
[17:45] <kjelle> Pici: does the desktop CD have it?
[17:45] <Pici> kjelle: No.
[17:45] <kjelle> Pici: ok, ty
[17:45] <Pici> kjelle: The desktop CD is the Live CD.
[17:46] <shafire> do you use apt-get?
[17:46] <kjelle> Pici: ok. thanks, then I will quit mocking about. cheers mate
[17:46] <Pici> kjelle: The Alternate CD installs the desktop version of Ubuntu.
[17:47] <kjelle> Pici: mm

[17:56] <sarkis> Wondering if you guys are using bold?
[17:56] <DarkSector> okay dpkg question, how do I solve this? And the problem is I just have a .deb package for it. http://paste.ubuntu.com/631286/
[17:57] <DarkSector> isn't there a specific dpkg channel?
[17:57] <nimbiotics> hello evry1. I need help sharing my internet connection using firestarter. I followed the wizar, but everytime I try to start the firewall, I get "the device eth0 is not ready". Can someone please guide me? TIA!
[17:57] <sipior> sarkis: you can change the font hinting in the appearances dialogue
[17:57] <Pici> DarkSector: Did you do what it suggested?
[17:57] <DarkSector> Pici: can't re-install, the prompt just hangs up
[17:58] <fission6> i put an audio cd in my cd drive and nothing is happening, looks like its not mounted or something, what should i do / check
[17:58] <fission6> (i havent played or used my cd drive in ages)
[17:58] <DarkSector> Pici: I have two packages 1. python-elementtree and python-celementtree _both_ are stuck
[17:58] <jjovereats> Fission6, you are doing everything right so far.
[17:58] <fission6> jjovereats, nothing has happened
[17:58] <DarkSector> Pici: dpkg: warning: files list file for package `python-elementtree' missing, assuming package has no files currently installed.
[17:59] <guntar> hey
[17:59] <fission6> i put the cd in and was hoping for an app to open
[17:59] <DarkSector> Pici: keeps unpacking, never proceeds
[17:59] <jjovereats> Insert CD, then go into Totem, then File > Play 'CD NAME HERE'
[17:59] <fission6> DarkSector, what does elementree do?
[17:59] <DarkSector> fission6: its a part of pyogre installation
[17:59] <fission6> Totem?
[17:59] <guntar> hello
[17:59] <Pici> DarkSector: Can you try using --force-all when you remove the package?
[17:59] <DarkSector> fission6: http://effbot.org/zone/celementtree.htm
[17:59] <dean> Or could someone tell me a channel to go to for software support?
[18:00] <DarkSector> Pici: I hope that won't break the system?
[18:00] <Pici> DarkSector: or just --force-remove-reinstreq
[18:00] <fission6> sudo apt-get install Torem jjovereats ?
[18:00] <jjovereats> totem. If you're in Xfce, or Kde, you go sudo aptitude install totem.
[18:00] <fission6> lets see
[18:01] <DarkSector> Pici: now, since its stuck, I'll have to kill dpkg process and remove lock, is that a safe way to do it. It doesn't entertain keyboard interrupts anymore
[18:01] <footfetish> Hi, could anybody tell me how to install the latest version of Firefox on Ubuntu 10.10?
[18:01] <pappa_bear> dean: depends on the software
[18:01] <Pici> DarkSector: Thats the safest way, yes :/
[18:01] <guntar> ya
[18:01] <fission6> jjovereats, installing now
[18:01] <DarkSector> footfetish: download the firefox repository and install
[18:01] <guntar> gz.tar
[18:01] <pappa_bear> footfetish: or use synaptic
[18:02] <Pici> !ff5 | footfetish
[18:02] <fission6> chrome seems to be eating up memory on my box, i am thinking about trying ff too
[18:02] <pappa_bear> chrome sux
[18:02] <Pici> pappa_bear: Please keep your opinions to yourself.
[18:02] <fission6> why so
[18:02] <footfetish> thx
[18:02] <DarkSector> fission6: _ff_ takes way more memory than chrome
[18:02] <fission6> id like to hear pappa_bear out
[18:02] <pappa_bear> sry
[18:02] <jjovereats> f6, installed yet?
[18:03] <guntar> anybody tell me how to install google chorme
[18:03] <DarkSector> pappa_bear: please don't get me started on gecko. nvm.
[18:03] <Pici> pappa_bear, fission6, DarkSector:Feel free to discuss it in #ubuntu-offtopic.
[18:03] <U-b-u-n-t-u> when I am away from my computer for more than 1 hour when I come back my mouse will not click on anything I changed out my mouse with another one and it still didnt work... this only happen after upgrading ... what can I do to fix this issue
[18:03] <dean> pappa_bear, I have tried to use k9copy and dvd95 but getting error messages I'm not sure whether I need to install anything else or whether it just wont run under gnome?
[18:03] <fission6> something maybe just messy with the build i have cause my computer, since upgrading chrome, just has little memory and is very glitchy then again i have 1 gig of mem
[18:03] <DarkSector> Pici: gotcha
[18:03] <Pici> guntar: Chrome is in the package repositories.
[18:03] <guntar> fuck u man
[18:04] <aeon-ltd> !chrome | guntar
[18:04] <DarkSector> what
[18:04] <DarkSector> bai
[18:04] <DarkSector> haha
[18:05] <gohdan> dean: do you have libdvdcss installed?
[18:05] <fission6> is it concernith 1 gig of ram i st be able to run chrome, xchat and audacious, without getting really glitchy? ifeel i may have something not configured correctly
[18:05] <shafire> how can i check, if i have the server or desktop version?
[18:06] <dean> gohdan, I installed restricted extras would it be in that?
[18:06] <footfetish> I added the sources to my sources.list
[18:06] <footfetish> How can I verify the key now?
[18:06] <Pici> footfetish: How did you add it?
[18:06] <jjovereats> At 512MB Debian with IW (the Debian equivalent of FF and IE), ID (equiv. to Outlook and TBird), and Totem running, it will run like a charm from my estimates.
[18:06] <io> !version | shafire
[18:06] <arooni-mobile> when trying to install apps on ubuntu 11.04 via downloading and launching debs from chrome; i get: "Could not display "/home/david/Downloads/ubuntu-tweak_0.5.12-1~natty1_all.deb".;  this location is not a folder"
[18:06] <shafire> thank you
[18:06] <DarkSector> Pici: --force-remove-reinstreq is that a valid option ?
[18:07] <gohdan> dean: correct
[18:07] <footfetish> Pici: I added I copied and pasted it from the link given.
[18:07] <fission6> jjovereats, yeah i feel i have something just chewing memory, can you recommend a few things to check - i feel i can streamline my machine a bit more to run snappier i just dont know where to start
[18:07] <footfetish> https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/firefox-stable
[18:07] <footfetish> Then I did an sudo apt-get update
[18:07] <jjovereats> sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop , f6.
[18:07] <Pici> footfetish: You should use 'sudo add-apt-repository' instead, that will automatically add the keys and the source to your sources.
[18:07] <dean> gohdan, I installed that straight away lol
[18:08] <footfetish> Pici: Now what?
[18:08] <fission6> what will that do, i think i am actually using xubuntu-desktop
[18:08] <Pici> footfetish: you can use 'sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com <key> ' now though, use the key on the PPA url.
[18:08] <Pici> DarkSector: It should be, is it not working?
[18:08] <fission6> jjovereats, xubuntu-desktop is already the newest version.
[18:08] <fission6> i think its tailoring things not sure where to start
[18:09] <DarkSector> Pici: need an action option
[18:09] <arooni-mobile> E: Unable to locate package ubuntu-restricted-extras ... how do i fix.  i have uncommeted all the deb listings in /etc/apt/source.list
[18:09] <fission6> jjovereats, htop shows 880 M / 1000M being taken when running chrome, 5 terminal tabs, and xchat
[18:09] <chaddy> arooni-mobile: try aptitude update
[18:09] <gohdan> dean: what were the errors you got?
[18:10] <Pici> DarkSector: You need to that along with the remove that you were using before: dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq packagename
[18:10] <footfetish> Pici: sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 1024R/CE49EC21 this does not work
[18:10] <jjovereats> f6, HUUUUHH? Try FF3. I have 1.7GiB of mem in my laptop, after deducting video RAM!
[18:10] <BluesKaj> arooni-mobile, run sudo apt-get update first then try to install
[18:10] <Pici> footfetish: drop the 1024R/ from the front of that.
[18:10] <das__> hi
[18:10] <AlexandrosGR> hello
[18:10] <fission6> what do you mean? i just feel my machine should be running smoother and that something is less than ideal in terms of config
[18:10] <fission6> but i dont know where to start my review
[18:11] <jjovereats> Run Computer Janitor. It may help.
[18:11] <AlexandrosGR> is any program that allow me to set up myself the gpu fans ?
[18:11] <footfetish> Pici: That seems to have worked. Thx a lot!
[18:11] <dean> gohdan, On dvd95 it just shows conversion error and on k9copy it shows Executable k9copy PID 11564 signal 11 (segmentation fault)
[18:11] <gohdan> AlexandrosGR: 'sensors'
[18:11] <fission6> jjovereats, any other fundemental thingas i can check?
[18:11] <DarkSector> Pici: okay now I think both are gone, but how do I check the integrity of dpkg, I mean how do I know, I didn't wreck it.  If there is a drop-down tree, press Ctrl-D. Now click Memory, and see what's at the top. That will advise you about the smartest app decisions.
[18:12] <arooni-mobile> BluesKaj, chaddy i did aptitude upgrade; and ran update;  still cant install
[18:12] <gohdan> AlexandrosGR: sorry. misread
[18:12] <DarkSector> Pici: thanks, it works.
[18:12] <Pici> DarkSector: good to hear
[18:12]  * gohdan happens a lot now that i quit smoking today
[18:13] <fission6> i have htop, and sort by memory, is that equivlent?
[18:13] <BluesKaj> arooni-mobile, sudo aptitude safe-upgrade?
[18:13] <jjovereats> fission6, It is if you can read how much memory is in use.
[18:13] <fission6> i get /use/bin/X taking up 34% of memory but that seems okay right?
[18:13] <jjovereats> sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop , and relogin into Lubuntu Desktop.
[18:14] <fission6> four pulse audio processing running each taking 6%
[18:14] <fission6> does that last thing seem right?
[18:15] <jjovereats> It's normal for PA.
[18:15] <misaq> hello everyone
[18:15] <das__> hi
[18:15] <junixbr> hi all
[18:15] <misaq> what happens if utorrent downloads on a file partially downloaded in Ubuntu?
[18:16] <fission6> lubuntu hmmm ill try and see if experience is better
[18:16] <jjovereats> misaq - the file may or may not become working.
[18:16] <fission6> can i use chrome, totem, etc.
[18:16] <jjovereats> fission6 - Chrome is no good IMO.
[18:16] <fission6> why so
[18:16] <junixbr> I change my keyboard and now I have 2 layouts... I've tryed to remove Brazilian Layout, but after rebooting, it comes again...
[18:16] <das__> I like Chrome
[18:16] <fission6> and what do you use
[18:16] <junixbr> the question is, how can I remove for ever a keyboard layout
[18:16] <junixbr> ?
[18:16] <jjovereats> Chrome is silly because it has no gopher support. I use FF4 with OverbiteFF.
[18:16] <misaq> jjovereats: is it better to delete the file and download again?
[18:17] <jjovereats> Yes.
[18:17] <fission6> jjovereats, "lubuntu-desktop: Depends: wicd but it is not going to be installed"
[18:17] <jjovereats> sudo apt-get install lxde
[18:17] <misaq> jjovereats: you mean the file has been overwritten?
[18:17] <jjovereats> misaq - Maybe not.
[18:17] <fission6> ok doing
[18:17] <fission6> jjovereats, what irc client do you use?
[18:17] <jjovereats> XChat.
[18:18] <das__> Xchat
[18:18] <fission6> damn ok thats what i am using, i just dont understand why my machine aint faster, grr, i have to choose whether to run xchat or gedit at times
[18:18] <kuroy> @junixbr: I used to have the same problem when I used Brazilian Portuguese Layout and tried to change to English.
[18:18] <kuroy> Then I changed the layout to Dvorak English and it worked smoothly
[18:18] <junixbr> kuroy, my wish is remove the brazilian layout
[18:19] <kuroy> Yes, I see.
[18:19] <junixbr> yes is working, but each reboot it comes again
[18:19] <Raptors> how do you see the list of partitions?
[18:19] <kuroy> I had the same problem, it kept coming back
[18:19] <jjovereats> sudo fdisk -l
[18:19] <junixbr> kuroy, so bored this.. =(
[18:19] <fission6> jjovereats, after lxde what should i do?
[18:20] <kuroy> until I used Dvorak English, but it was some time ago and I don't know if it works maintaning Qwerty layout
[18:20] <jjovereats> fission6, are you in LXDE yet, or are you not going to go that route? :: You should also install Firefox. or Midori. Both work.
[18:20] <kuroy> maybe some problem with portuguese layout
[18:20] <jjovereats> etaolin shdrlu
[18:20] <junixbr> maybe
[18:20] <misaq> I added the torrent to bittorrent in Windows and it downloaded a little. then I downloaded 1.5 G over it in Ubuntu. then in Windows, I noticed that it was downloading as if the 1.5 G was never downloaded.
[18:20] <fission6> well i installed LXDE should i log in an out to use it?
[18:20] <jjovereats> fission6, yes you should.
[18:20] <fission6> let me try
[18:21] <junixbr> next version, I'll reinstall
[18:21] <jjovereats> kk
[18:21] <gohdan> dean: did you run the installer script too?
[18:21] <DarkSector> Pici: I was wrong, the thing is fried. Upgrading skype and it is stuck at unpacking
[18:21] <DarkSector> Pici: I am doomed.
[18:21] <misaq> who has experience with transmission-gtk?
[18:22] <DarkSector> misaq: define experience
[18:22] <DarkSector> misaq: downloading torrents thats all the experience I have
[18:22] <dean> gohdan, i don't understand what you mean by that?
[18:23] <fission6> jjovereats, oh my god htop shows 300M thats amazing
[18:23] <jjovereats> Ok.
[18:23] <misaq> DarkSector I had a torrent file added both in Win and Ubuntu transmission.
[18:23] <fission6> jjovereats, what terminal do you use btw?
[18:23] <gohdan> !tell dean about restricted
[18:23] <DarkSector> misaq: and...
[18:24] <jjovereats> Is that with Chrome, Audacious and XChat running fission6? :: I use Gnome-terminal and Xfce4-terminal.
[18:24] <fission6> jjovereats, no, i haven't run those processes yet
[18:24] <jjovereats> I aslo use the TTYs.
[18:24] <fission6> can i tweak some of lxde to make it someone slicker
[18:24] <jjovereats> Run them and see what you get (of couse you are running XChat)
[18:24] <misaq> DarkSector: after I had downloaded 1.45 G in Ubuntu, i logged in Windows and the Win torrent client started downloading as if nothing had been downloaded before.
[18:25] <misaq> DarkSector: i want to know if my file is healthy or corrupt
[18:25] <DelphiWorld> hey
[18:26] <dean> gohdan, I will check it out thanks
