[00:00] <abys> lefty|busy:  Did you try the additional drivers?
[00:00] <nit-wit> juniour, showing desperation is the best way to get no help, desperate users are many times difficult to help, many things get lost in the processes.  Run this in a terminal and post the graphic card info    lspci | grep VGA
[00:00] <ldz420> ghostnik11: still need an answer for your printscreen question?
[00:00] <lefty|busy> abys: umm no

[00:09] <juniour> nit-wit 10.10
[00:09] <juniour> nit wit Linux shubham 2.6.35-28-generic #50-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 18 19:00:26 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux
[00:10] <zaya> locate xorg.conf
[00:10] <nit-wit> juniour, that card is a problem that is for sure,here is the google search I have been looking with. https://encrypted.google.com/webhp?hl=en#hl=en&q=+Radeon+HD+3400+maverick&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=fe264fb4447e1aaa&biw=994&bih=568
[00:11] <gregL> yassine_hell, Go to System,administration,additional drivers,and install the recommended driver..
[00:12] <yassine_hell> gregL i cant do it in terminal? cuz i have 8.10 ubuntu and cant find what u just mentioned ...
[00:12] <juniour> nit-wit its running good but why it suddenly doing like this
[00:13] <MonkeyDust> yassine_hell: 8.10 is no longer supported
[00:13] <juniour> nit-wit earlier it was fine
[00:13] <yassine_hell> MonkeyDust ! ... old is gold
[00:13] <gregL> yassine_hell, Can't help you then...
[00:13] <yassine_hell> gregL oki :)
[00:14] <nit-wit> juniour, I have no idea in this area my main goal here was getting the graphic card identified, always mention this.
[00:14] <yassine_hell> at least can u tell me how to update drivers through terminal ^^?
[00:15] <abys> My dash => https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/ubuntu-help/unity-dash-intro.html is not working anymore, someone has an idea how to fix it?
[00:15] <gregL> yassine_hell, I doubt anyone on here will be able to help you... You need the proper video drivers and they aren't in the current repos...So, you will either have to upgrade or live with the video drivers you have..Good luck
[00:16] <juniour> nit-wit is there any kind of restore in ubuntu like windows
[00:16] <ascheel> startup script question.  If I want to ensure a script in /etc/rc6.d (normal boot, correct?) executes very last, then I just need to make sure it's alphabetically and numerically last, is this correct?
[00:16] <yassine_hell> gregL oki :) ty
[00:16] <juniour> nit-wit i will restore to earlier time
[00:16] <nit-wit> juniour, not really the alternative has some repair but that is geek area

[00:24] <histo> juniour: okay then just boot the cd and run the installer. Just point it at your current ubuntu partition and reinstall there. It will format it and put the new files there
[00:24] <juniour> histo i got some error thats why?
[00:24] <dan__> hey i was messing around with the compiz advanced settings and i enabled desktop cube. it told me it needed to disable a few things (desktop wall IIRC) so i said yes and now the top bit of windows has gone so i cannot move, resize or close windows. help?

[00:26] <histo> juniour: may i ask why you want to reinstall ubuntu?

[00:29] <histo> juniour: Did this machine ever work?
[00:29] <Smashcat> Ah, Universal USB installer works with 11.04 - Ubuntu need to ditch cd-creator - it's a piece of garbage tbh
[00:29] <candace> ill check...sorry

[00:32] <juniour> histo while upgrading it also gave me an error
[00:32] <histo> juniour: Alright well boot the machine and hold the shift key down so you can get to the grub menu. Then I would select recovery mode. That will dump you to a terminal where you can remove the drivers you installed
[00:32] <juniour> histo check this 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Mobility Radeon HD 3400 Series
[00:32] <nit-wit> Peppee, are you installing from the live desktop or at the startup gui?
[00:32] <histo> juniour: yeah I see that you have an ati card
[00:33] <Peppee> nit-wit erm im installing from cd ;)
[00:33] <histo> juniour: or you can boot to the cd and from the menu choose safe graphics mode or it's under options like F4 or F6 at the bottom of menu screen that comes up.

[00:34] <abys> lefty|busy: what's up?

[00:34] <Peppee> nit-wit cant run try mode, anything i press in menu end with blackscreen (well not memtest)
[00:34] <lefty|busy> abys: Hold on I think I am on to something

[00:35] <juniour> histo check this http://pastebin.com/f2EdvRsM
[00:35] <lefty|busy> abys: I think I got it xD
[00:35] <zschallz> Oracle's documentation suggests creating an answer file with a gui so that you can intstall it without a gui -____-;
[00:35] <abys> lefty|busy: glad to help ya! ^_^
[00:35] <nit-wit> Peppee, at that choice screen hit f6 and choose nomodeset and boot from there. there are 2 scxreens that give yoiu a choice to try or install when you power on the computer hold the shift down to get to the first one that the f6 key prompts a dropdown.

[00:37] <lefty|busy> abys: Need to restart and see if it works !
[00:37] <histo> juniour: then try installing fglrx
[00:37] <Peppee> nit-wit ok ill try that thanks for help, brb
[00:37] <tjiggi_fo> candace, then look in System > Administration > for your hardware driver settings - they will either be NVidia or ATI. I do not mean the Hardware Driver button but the Hardware Driver Settings button!

[00:42] <lefty|busy> abys: Well it is at the poinr where I am trying to connect to wi-fi and i don't see anything
[00:42] <tjiggi_fo> candace, then there must most definitely, beyond a shadow of doubt and in all certainty, be a Monitors option in System > Preferences :)

[00:52] <KM0201> abys: its specific to the 4311 IIRC... i don't recall the exact issue, but i've read it several times
[00:52] <acovrig> anyone?
[00:52] <histo> juniour: if you need the fglrx drivers if not use the open source ones
[00:52] <tjiggi_fo> candace, and everything is too big for you?
[00:52] <abys> I guess
[00:52] <candace> i dont think its a reselution problem
[00:52] <histo> juniour: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx  is where you can select your card and download the drivers from the vender
[00:52] <candace> there is black bars on all 4 sides of the desktop
[00:53] <abys> KM0201:  does broadcom provide linux driver maybe?
[00:53] <juniour> k
[00:53] <histo> juniour: here are some instructions for installing it
[00:53] <histo> juniour: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI#Install the fglrx Driver from AMD/ATI Catalyst 11.2 For Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick
[00:53] <KM0201> abys: they do, but it's not gonna work either.
[00:53] <KM0201> hang on
[00:53] <candace> no my desktop does not take up the whole screen
[00:53] <lefty|busy> KM0201: Any luck ?
[00:53] <biancapz> ubuntu 11. pendrive appears at lsusb. how to mount - or automount forever? "access external storage devices automatically" is checked.
[00:54] <tjiggi_fo> candace, then there's probably a key combination to get it to fill the screen. what make and model laptop?
[00:54] <KM0201> lefty|busy: ok... according to this... if you uninstall the STA driver, and install b43.. it should work... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/760920
[00:54] <KM0201> lefty|busy: ref post #3
[00:55] <candace> hp pavilion-xh555
[00:55] <KM0201> lefty|busy: do you know how to do that?
[00:55] <lefty|busy> KM0201: Ok lemme see and I probably wont know how either
[00:55] <tjiggi_fo> candace, 1 sec
[00:55] <KM0201> ok
[00:55] <eross> what game can i buy for ubuntu, commercial quality? asked to figure out something for my b-day, already thinking the game oil rush
[00:55] <folgers> hi
[00:56] <KM0201> lefty|busy: thats just one bug report i found, there's actually several bug reports on that device.. i was actually reading through them the other day helping a friend
[00:56] <zaya> Diablo lol
[00:56] <candace> hi
[00:56] <bkfitz> Nickserv identify
[00:56] <lefty|busy> KM0201: Oh ok
[00:56] <bkfitz> hello
[00:57] <bkfitz> huh... i thought i'd have to identify...
[00:57] <ubuntucork> Greetings and salutations all :)
[00:57] <olskolirc> what would be the command i would use just to show me by date, the programs I have installed this week please?
[00:57] <KM0201> lefty|busy: so... sudo apt-get remove bcmwl-kernel-source    then reboot, then come back, and you can install the b43 driver ( i have a link for that)
[00:57] <acovrig> Is it possible to install Ubuntu 11 from the network?  (boot from a *minimal* 256MB Flashdrive, then get the rest from the net)
[00:57] <mtrg> why do I get Hard blocked: yes for rfkill list? can't use wireless!
[00:57] <lefty|busy> KM0201: I am on a netbook
[00:57] <bkfitz> can someone help me out... i think i royally f'd my ubuntu laptop
[00:57] <bkfitz> being stupid
[00:57] <redTest> acovrig: Sure. I have done it before.
[00:57] <lefty|busy> KM0201: I am working on a different computer
[00:57] <KM0201> lefty|busy: ok.
[00:57] <zaya> eross that actually looks interesting
[00:57] <acovrig> redTest: how?
[00:57] <kdub> mtrg: your wireless switch is in the off position
[00:57] <bkfitz> i went to nautilus and changed the permissions on / for 'others' to none
[00:58] <bkfitz> now it wont boot
[00:58] <KM0201> so just uninstall that package (bcmwl-kernel-source)   then reboot the machine
[00:58] <redTest> !minimal | acovrig
[00:58] <bkfitz> sudo nautilus :)
[00:58] <redTest> bkfitz: gksudo. :)
[00:58] <bkfitz> yup
[00:58] <bkfitz> f'd
[00:58] <KM0201> lefty|busy: then go here, and use the insructions for the "b43" driver... (NOT STA)...  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx
[00:58] <bkfitz> didn't think 'others' needed readonly on /
[00:58] <lefty|busy> KM0201: alright thanks
[00:59] <bkfitz> still not sure i understand why they do
[00:59] <ubuntucork> bkfitz:  can you access the network on that machine via cat 5 cable?
[00:59] <acovrig> ok, do I dd the .iso to usb?
[00:59] <lefty|busy> KM0201: it's removinf everything now
[00:59] <KM0201> ok
[00:59] <KM0201> lefty|busy: just make sure you restart after its removed (cuz you want the sta module removed)
[00:59] <bkfitz> ubuntucork: not sure how i'd do that... it just sits at the ubuntu load screen with 5 circles
[00:59] <bkfitz> ubunutucork: how do i boot to prompt
[01:00] <lefty|busy> KM0201: I removed all modules
[01:00] <biancapz> I can't mout my pendrive.. is my problem too simple? any help appreciated
[01:00] <acovrig> redTest: ok, do I dd the .iso to usb?
[01:00] <lefty|busy> and some other stuff
[01:00] <KM0201> that's fine, then restart.
[01:00] <ubuntucork> bkfitz: if memory serves me i think its the esc key on boot and you should get to the grub screen
[01:00] <jthomas_> le
[01:00] <KM0201> lefty|busy: then follow the instructions for the b43 driver
[01:00] <nit-wit> biancapz, how and when afre you trying to mount it?
[01:00] <bkfitz> ok... then login as root, chmod / to 755?
[01:00] <ubuntucork> bkfitz:  let me double check that for you :)
[01:00] <lefty|busy> KM0201: It said "Warning: No support for locale enUS.utf8 should I be worried ?
[01:01] <KM0201> no.
[01:01] <lefty|busy> ok
[01:01] <bkfitz> gracias ubuntucork... i guess i could just as easily googel it :)
[01:01] <KM0201> (or at least i wouldn't be.. :))
[01:01] <lefty|busy> KM0201: Your scaring me
[01:01] <KM0201> lefty|busy: b43 is usually rock solid.. i've never had issues w/ it, so ij ust use it over STA, no matter what
[01:02] <ubuntucork> bkfitz:  all I was going to do:  then at the boot prompt you should see a rescue mode, if not set the init mode to 1(single user root)
[01:02] <lefty|busy> KM0201: aha ok
[01:02] <mtrg> kdub: i have no switch
[01:02] <tjiggi_fo> candace, sorry, but I don't find anything at all on google. Ask your question again and include the info about the black border and maybe someone else can help you
[01:02] <KM0201> lefty|busy: after you install th b43 driver, you'll likely hae to restart again
[01:02] <mtrg> kdub: it's just fn + button on keyboard.. i press it and it only chages "soft block" but not the hard block
[01:02] <ubuntucork> bkfitz:  I did mine with a ppa for the intel graphics adapter to see if there was any advantage over the repo standard.  Repo Standard won due to stability
[01:03] <lefty|busy> KM0201: ok it restarted what now ? lol
[01:03] <candace> ok thanks
[01:03] <mtrg> kdub: any ideas/hints/stuff is appreciated
[01:03] <KM0201> lefty|busy: did you install b43 yet? or did you just uninstall bcmwl-kernel-source?
[01:03] <lefty|busy> uninstalled
[01:03] <KM0201> lefty|busy: go here, and follow the instructions for b43....; https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx
[01:04] <bkfitz> ubuntucork: ok... no luck figuring out how to boot to prompt yet... but i'll keep looking
[01:04] <folgers> hello out there. I have a prob with a laptop that i just put 9.10 karmic on and now the desk top wont fill the whole screen. its not a res prob but i dont know what to do from here. PLZ help ty
[01:05] <ubuntucork> bkfitz: I know since 10.04 LTS its been grub 2 if that helps :)
[01:05] <zaya> folgers: try System > Admin > Hardware Drivers
[01:05] <folgers> black bars all the way around it
[01:05] <folgers> tryed
[01:05] <folgers> says has no drivers?
[01:06] <zaya> folgers did you run an update at all from fresh install
[01:06] <folgers> just restarting it now
[01:06] <bkfitz> ubuntucork: yeah... i'm trying holding down shift now
[01:06] <folgers> fresh install?
[01:06] <folgers> update manager?
[01:07] <lefty|busy> KM0201: Ok I need help lol I can't even get to step 1 lol
[01:07] <zaya> folgers: update manager should come up after an fresh install
[01:07] <folgers> it always has for me. i burnt this copy a while back
[01:08] <KM0201> lefty|busy: ok, whats the problem?
[01:08] <ubuntucork> ahhh LTS releases, got to love them.  No new issues every 6 months.  And I only upgrade 6 months into the cycle to let the issues be ironed out first :)
[01:08] <bkfitz> ubuntucork: i see two options for (recovery mode)... 2.6.35-28-generic and 22-generic??
[01:08] <lefty|busy> KM0201: I don't know what to do ! :'/
[01:09] <KM0201> lefty|busy: ok.. do you see where it says "sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter" ?
[01:09] <ubuntucork> the latest one (the former in the list) and it shouldnt really matter, as they both should boot :)
[01:09] <lefty|busy> KM0201: no
[01:09] <ubuntucork> bkfitz: the latest kernel which is the forner in your list and it should not really matter as they both should boot
[01:10] <bkfitz> ubuntucork: yeah i'm in 28 and i chose Drop to root shell prompt... now was I correct it's chmod / 755
[01:10] <KM0201> lefty|busy: you don't see where it says "installing the b43 drivers"?
[01:10] <KM0201> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#Installing%20b43%20drivers
[01:10] <Smashcat> Anyone know if there's a known issue with 11.04 installing on an SSD? dmesg shows it can see the drive /dev/sda, but it's unable to open it. Tried the windows installer and that can see it fine
[01:10] <ubuntucork> bkfitz: what are you chmoding?
[01:10] <lefty|busy> KM0201: I see installing b43 drivers
[01:10] <zaya> folgers: You may have to dig into the xorg.conf file but you said it wasn't the resolution right?
[01:11] <KM0201> lefty|busy: ok.. then scroll down and do you see "b43-Internet Access" (thats assuming you have internet access, that isn't wireless, which you do, so thats the instructions you want)
[01:11] <lefty|busy> KM0201: Ok
[01:11] <KM0201> lefty|busy: then step 1, is "sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter"
[01:11] <reliableNerd> Any hd2 users? Trying to update magldr on Ubuntu... or run windows mobile device center without the requirement of windows....  :/
[01:11] <lefty|busy> KM0201: YEah I got that
[01:11] <KM0201> ok...
[01:11] <KM0201> did it install?
[01:12] <lefty|busy> Yes
[01:12] <bkfitz> ubuntucork: well by going to gksu nautilus and then clicking on file system, then properties, then changing 'others' permission to none, isn't that just a chmod to 750 or something on the root partition??
[01:12] <KM0201> u should get a window pop up asking you to download/extract firmware
[01:12] <KM0201> lefty|busy: did you let it install the firmware?
[01:12] <lefty|busy> KM0201: I got no pop-up
[01:12] <KM0201> lefty|busy: are you sure it installed? what does the terminal say?
[01:13] <Lobo> hi
[01:13] <ubuntucork> at 2am what is left of my brain after a tumour is a little fried to work out octaly ;-)  but others would be 0 yes :)
[01:13] <KM0201> lefty|busy: cuz you should have gotten a pop up, asking you to extract the firmware
[01:13] <KM0201> lefty|busy: did you install it from synaptic, or from terminal?
[01:13] <lefty|busy> KM0201: idk
[01:13] <KM0201> ..
[01:14] <ubuntucork> bkfitz: at 2am what is left of my brain after a tumour is a little fried to work out octaly but others would be 0 yes
[01:14] <lefty|busy> KM0201: do you have whats called teamviewer ?
[01:14] <KM0201> lefty|busy: i have it, but we don't need it if you want me to look at it.
[01:14] <KM0201> as long as you have an internet connection on that machine
[01:14] <lefty|busy> KM0201: I would like you to look at it
[01:14] <lefty|busy> lo
[01:14] <lefty|busy> lol
[01:14] <acovrig> is it possible to mount a split dd image without recombining it-if so, how?
[01:14] <bkfitz> ubuntucork: so doing a chmod 755 / should reverse it???
[01:14] <KM0201> lefty|busy: answer yoru PM
[01:15] <lefty|busy> KM0201: ok
[01:15] <ubuntucork> KM0201: are we allowed to look in the folder marked "porn" ? :-P
[01:15] <itaylor57> KM0201: I am getting interesting freezes where the mouse will work but no window/menu will respond.  Is there a log file I should look at to debug+
[01:15] <zaya> acovrig: like running two files recognized as one and mount it?
[01:15] <bkfitz> :)
[01:15] <KM0201> ubuntucork: lol.. :)
[01:15] <KM0201> itaylor57: not really sure on that.. hang on a sec
[01:16] <ubuntucork> bkfitz: no idea what your trying to reverse sorry I came in so late :(
[01:16] <acovrig> zaya: I guess-more like 77 ;)
[01:16] <DasEi> acovrig: I'm not sure, so try and report: sudo mkdir /media/splitiso && sudo mount -o loop /path/to/splitfile /media/splitiso
[01:17] <bkfitz> ubuntucork: here is what i did step by step 1. gksu nautilus 2. click on file system 3. go to file properties 4. change 'others' permissions to 'none' 5. click ok 6. realize i just fd myself
[01:17] <ubuntucork> I usually work on the basis of chmod [u]g[g][o] +/-[rwx] /foldername
[01:17] <ubuntucork> bkfitz: I usually work on the basis of chmod [u]g[g][o] +/-[rwx] /foldername
[01:17] <zaya> acovrig DasEi's guess is as good as mine
[01:18] <bkfitz> ubuntucork: so do you know what that properties window in nautilus 'others' dropdown does?
[01:18] <ubuntucork> bkfitz: well if you do it recursively you will change ALL folder permissions!!
[01:19] <ubuntucork> bkfitz: I never use guis for this, I normally use command line as per above, or NC in the terminal
[01:19] <Daditos> Is there a tool or way in which I can format a drive into ext3 to be able to install ubuntu on it (from windows 7)?  I have no CD  Drive and my pc can't boot from USB
[01:19] <ubuntucork> bkfitz: [I am old school lol]
[01:19] <bkfitz> ubuntucork: exactly... not even sure I can fix this one
[01:19] <nit-wit> Daditos, just install a wubi
[01:19] <itaylor57> KM0201: i hope its not this Apr 25 21:41:35 abyss kernel: [ 4744.603659] intel ips 0000:00:1f.6: CPU power or thermal limit exceeded
[01:20] <DasEi> acovrig: result ?
[01:20] <bkfitz> ubuntucork: i guess what i'm confused about is what 'others' need to have readonly on to make the os work... clearly i was wrong in thinking they didn't need any permissions
[01:20] <ubuntucork> bkfitz: try as su: "chmod o+r -R /"
[01:20] <nit-wit> Daditos, is the computer to old to boot a usb the plop app will get you in
[01:20] <ubuntucork> this way others get recursive read rights to all folders
[01:20] <Daditos> nit-wit, will I be able to use it in dual boot as if I had booted it from a cd?
[01:20] <KM0201> itaylor57: hmm, "thermal limits" usually result in a shutdown
[01:20] <bkfitz> ubuntucork: what is o+r (others read?)
[01:20] <bkfitz> yeah
[01:20] <ubuntucork> you can then go through the fs after removing any unwanted read permissions
[01:20] <Daditos> it's not old, it just doesn't appear in the BIOS
[01:20] <acovrig> DasEi: just a sec-mounting external hdd w/images on it
[01:21] <bkfitz> right
[01:21] <itaylor57> KM0201: and maverick had that before but it was not a real error
[01:21] <nit-wit> Daditos, yes it will just be a folder in windows. Is the computer to old to boot a usb thumb?
[01:21] <ubuntucork> bkfitz: yes o+r = others read access
[01:21] <KM0201> itaylor57: hmm.
[01:21] <DasEi> Daditos: the installer does it itself, the formatting, so no pre-format needed
[01:21] <Meetyourmakers> who know the password for linux katya mint livecd
[01:21] <bkfitz> i'll give that a shot... is there a way someone can list the folders that 'others' need permissions to
[01:21] <ubuntucork> Any brits in here if Anyone doesnt mind me asking?
[01:21] <bkfitz> in a standard ubuntu install
[01:21] <nit-wit> Daditos, what is the computer?
[01:22] <DasEi> Daditos: else can have a vm on win7, then mount additional drive there
[01:22] <Daditos> nit-wit,  I don't know what you mean
[01:22] <ubuntucork> you could try installing a virtual machine on another machine and installing ubuntu into it and listing them that way :)
[01:22] <Daditos> but it's new
[01:22] <Daditos> q6600, P5q-e
[01:22] <Daditos> 2 years old
[01:22] <Crunchybits> Someone having VM issues
[01:22] <Daditos> I should check  the Chip documentation
[01:22] <nit-wit> Daditos, what is the computer model?
[01:22] <ubuntucork> bkfitz: you could try installing a virtual machine on another machine and installing ubuntu into it and listing them that way
[01:22] <Daditos> Asus P5Q-E
[01:22] <Daditos> Intel Q6600
[01:22] <acovrig> DasEi: `mount -o loop * /mnt/tst` basically returns the mount helpfile-given I am in the dir with the split images
[01:22] <DasEi> Daditos: that should boot from usb, too (mind who, so put nick)
[01:23] <ubuntucork> room, apologies for forgetting to put persons name at front to avoid confusion.  brain tumour survivor here but not all cylinders firing at 2am ;-)
[01:23] <nit-wit> Daditos, the usb ports on one side do not work for booting a thumb
[01:23] <bkfitz> ubuntucork: crossing all my fingers as i reboot
[01:23] <Daditos> I don't have   a thumb but I do have an external disk
[01:23] <Daditos> I plugged it  on the back port
[01:23] <jen> hey
[01:23] <Daditos> you mean the ones on the front don't work
[01:23] <jen> what u mean
[01:23] <Daditos> but the ones on the back should, shouldn't they?
[01:23] <Crunchybits> VMware-server is support for Ubuntu or you could use virtualbox
[01:23] <acovrig> DasEi: would it mean anything that the dd images are of /dev/sda (per-say) instead of /dev/sda1
[01:24] <ubuntucork> bkfitz: if  it helps my lovely gf wont move off of her 10.04 LTS desktop back to windows, as the support she got online blew her away plus it just works :)
[01:24] <jen> hey im new   on  this
[01:24] <jen> hi
[01:24] <bkfitz> no dice
[01:24] <nit-wit> Daditos, not sure which one but all do not work for booting, but try to use a hd an external is well a tough job even if you got it to work.
[01:24] <ubuntucork> love virtualbox :)
[01:24] <nit-wit> *tring
[01:24] <intx> how do i install python-opencl for amd stream?
[01:24] <ubuntucork> bkfitz: you could try setting 0+rw
[01:24]  * acovrig high-fives ubuntucork
[01:25] <Crunchybits> yeah I run BT5 in VRTB in side of crunchbang
[01:25] <jen> i like daditos a  little
[01:25] <bkfitz> what does that do
[01:25] <ubuntucork> acovrig: thank you my man :)
[01:25] <ubuntucork> bkfitz: o+rw
[01:25] <bkfitz> yeah
[01:25] <bkfitz> others read write yes
[01:25] <ubuntucork> bkfitz: it gives others read AND wirite
[01:25] <jen> yeah
[01:25] <DasEi> acovrig: I don't understand; you mount the external , aka sdXY, to a drive and then specifiy the mountdir in the loop-command
[01:26] <nit-wit> Daditos, istall via wubi until you have a way of booting a disc or thumb. The wubi can be movede to a partition with a command that is found on a thread just about this on the ubuntu forums.
[01:26] <DasEi> to a directory*
[01:26] <jen> wholoves me say yeah
[01:26] <Crunchybits> intx sudo apt-get install python-pyopencl
[01:26] <ubuntucork> dopey question, does 11.04 have a wubi installer now?
[01:26] <Daditos> DasEi, nit-wit, what I did was.  A) Create 2 Gb partition in a USB drive (500 gb) although it has (600 mb) as a CD for WMPassport (and that get's recognized by boot, somehow) B) Used Linux Live USB Creator on that partition (Fat32) C) Shutdown computer, opened BIOS, check options.  CD like partition appears (WMPassport) but no LINUX Drive
[01:26] <acovrig> DasEi: the external has the images on it, I cd into the dir w/them, do mount -o loop * /mnt/dir -* as-in all the images in the cwd to /mnt/dir
[01:26] <nit-wit> ubuntucork, yeah.
[01:27] <Daditos> ok
[01:27] <ubuser> is 10.04 supported? its my last update and when i got it last time my video went out
[01:27] <Daditos> Nicke__:
[01:27] <Daditos> nit-wit:
[01:27] <Crunchybits> Daditos: you trying to dual boot
[01:27] <Daditos> I'll do that
[01:27] <Daditos> yes
[01:27] <ubuntucork> nit-wit: great someone might if she is nice to me ;-) get migrated as her laptop is newer and shinier than mine ;-)
[01:27] <jen> daditos`wanna be  buds?
[01:27] <DasEi> acovrig: right so far, and mount reports ?
[01:28] <jen> fuck!
[01:28] <jen> i  fell
[01:28] <nit-wit> Daditos, you going the wubi way until your better setuo?
[01:28] <acovrig> DasEi: I guess my next thing would be to partition this external to allow >2GB files so I can combine the images
[01:28] <Daditos> yes
[01:28] <ubuser> right now im on 8.04 and my video is laggin im gettin like 32 fps on a 256 meg video card
[01:28] <wflme> ok, it's 4:28am here
[01:28] <wflme> so would you please
[01:28] <Daditos> I'm going to read a little and install it
[01:28] <DasEi> Daditos: ic, so seems like the external misses grub, but for that case, better backup mbr before
[01:28] <Daditos> I just want to mkae sure I can use it from dual boot as a sole OS
[01:28] <wflme> consider my question
[01:29] <jen> daditos is  kinda   cute
[01:29] <ubuntucork> ubuser:  kudos for sticking with 8.04 :-)
[01:29] <DasEi> acovrig: or set them together internal
[01:29] <nit-wit> Daditos, all you have to remember with wubi is don't do any hard shutdowns and don't accept any grub bootlaoder updates watch for the grubs.
[01:29] <wflme> what are some good LKM rootkits nowadays? not limited to Ubuntu, naturally
[01:29] <Crunchybits> Also in grub.conf you can edit the boot options so your windows partition is part of the Grub
[01:29] <Daditos> ok, I'll keep that in mind
[01:29] <ubuntucork> ubuser:  is it an nvidia graphics, could you not build from source?
[01:29] <acovrig> DasEi: what do you mean?
[01:29] <wflme> I've been off this game for like 12 years
[01:30] <wflme> so I'm going to have to catch up
[01:30] <nit-wit> ! who | Crunchybits
[01:30] <ubuser> yea winfast px8600
[01:30] <ubuser> its just an old version i cant get flash running or sound
[01:31] <wflme> say you got a rather ancient Centos 5.0
[01:31] <ubuntucork> ubuser: try building from source and see if that helps :-)
[01:31] <ubuser> but when i update to 10.04 its the same
[01:31] <DasEi> acovrig: you said the dd splitfiles where on external (2GB fat32 no largeFile), so you could copy them to internal ext4 and first complete them again
[01:31] <Crunchybits> Dadito: here follow this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot
[01:31] <wflme> which is basically RHEL 5.0
[01:31] <ubuser> idk how to do that
[01:31] <wflme> how would you rootkit it?
[01:31] <ubuntucork> wflme: Ancient to you is stable to me.  :-)
[01:31] <acovrig> I would, but I don't have an internal hdd capable of containing them
[01:31] <Crunchybits> Not impress with RHEL5 or 6
[01:31] <wflme> LKM is preffered
[01:32] <wflme> ubuntucork: oh well, it's quire an easy target, rootwise
[01:32] <wflme> s/quire/quite/
[01:32] <nit-wit> Crunchybits, the user Daditos has no bootable medium.;)
[01:32] <acovrig> DasEi: http://pastebin.com/jbqqLj8H is what mount spits out of `mount -o loop * /mnt/dir`
[01:32] <wflme> say I'm pentesting and all
[01:32] <ubuser> i tried all the nvidia downloads in sypnatic
[01:32] <DasEi> acovrig: is the external full ? else use gparted and do a large enough ext4 part (defrag fat beforehands)
[01:33] <ubuntucork> wflme: i dont run ftp, no mail servers and for my web i use cherokee,  as its small light and fast and easily configured.
[01:33] <Crunchybits> ah so his primary is toast then a mrb repair is needed
[01:33] <Gskellig> how do i add the number of screens i have with unitys desktop switcher?
[01:33] <Daditos> The strange thing, is that BIOS recognizes a part of the USB Drive because it appears as a CD drive
[01:33] <Daditos> It's one of those Net PAssport Drives
[01:33] <ubuntucork> ubuser google "download nvidia drivers for linux" and look for ann nvidia website.  download from there.  then "apt-get install bulid-essentials"
[01:33] <wflme> ubuntucork: that's not it. it's the kernel. 2.6.16, specifically
[01:34] <Daditos> from Western Digital
[01:34] <bluebomber> Gskellig: You can change that using ccsm if I recall correctly.
[01:34] <acovrig> DasEi: yea, I could, I just would rather not (It's a 2TB external with lots of important stuff that isn't all mine)
[01:34] <Crunchybits> ah yeah they a mini linux
[01:34] <Gskellig> ccsm?
[01:34] <bkfitz> ubuntucork: so when i did the chmod o+r -R / i got an operation not permitted error on the entire /proc directory
[01:34] <ubuser> invalid operation
[01:34] <ubuntucork> wflme: yes but they backpatch and redhat in fairness do a lot of kernel and security work
[01:34] <Daditos> I'm not sure how they accomplish to make a HD have a partition that looks like a cd, if I could replicate that, I would be able to install it as If I had a CD
[01:35] <wflme> so what's the LKM rootkit of choice nowadays?
[01:35] <jerry_l> hard drive that looks like a cd.
[01:35] <bkfitz> ubuntucork: thinking that is why it didnt' work... tried the o+rw and got the same denial on that directory...
[01:35] <ubuntucork> bkfitz: correct, /proc and /dev are vitual directories :) they dont realllly exist.  :)
[01:35] <wflme> I've been off this game for like 10+ years
[01:35] <nit-wit> Fg! ccsm | Gskellig
[01:35] <Crunchybits> RHEL has a weak set of SELINUX policies but can be made stronger
[01:35] <nit-wit> ! ccsm | Gskellig
[01:36] <ralisi> my /dev/sda disappeared, my filesystem got remounted readlony, but I am currently writing from this system. any ideas what I can do, except reboot and hope for the best?
[01:36] <bkfitz> ubuntucork: ok... now you know i'm a newb :)
[01:36] <ubuser> i got a pkg.run file
[01:36] <jerry_l> i have used a hard drive type changer before. for a usb thumbdrive that said it was a CD
[01:36] <DasEi> wflme: this is ubuntu support, maybe ask in #security or other findable ressources ?
[01:36] <ubuntucork> bkfitz:  So?  :-) wasnt everyone at one stage? :-)
[01:36] <Crunchybits> wflme: you worried about a root kit
[01:36] <wflme> DasEi: will try that, thanks a bunch
[01:37] <bkfitz> ubuntucork: yep... clearly i know just enough to be pretty fing dangerous
[01:37] <thomb> I'm trying to diagnose an install failure; there is an open question at https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+question/158859
[01:37] <wflme> Crunchybits not at all, I'm all worried about installing one
[01:37] <Daditos> And the other way around, jerry_l? :P
[01:37] <ubuntucork> bkfitz: knowing your limits is one step, the second step is knowing when to ask for help :-)
[01:37] <ironhalik> should powertop show ~600 wakeups? :>
[01:37] <bkfitz> ubuntucork: it is still hanging at the ubuntu boot screen... now what???
[01:37] <Crunchybits> Ah what software
[01:37] <Daditos> Seems too messy and bound to fail though, otherwise, people would present it as an option, I guess
[01:38] <bkfitz> ubuntucork: is there a difference between 'file system' and /
[01:38] <bkfitz> ubuntucork: not sure which one i changed perms on
[01:38] <wflme> DasEi: [04:37] #security unable to join channel (invite only), unfortunately
[01:38] <wflme> see I'm performing a pentest of sorts
[01:38] <jerry_l> yep. make the partiton first fill with data and change flag 0 through 9 for the type. like 1=floppy, 2 = mass media, 3 = CD 4=zip disk.......
[01:39] <DasEi> !register | wflme
[01:39] <ubuntucork> bkfitz: did you do the "chmod -R o+rw /" i am not sure off the top of my head if it is -R or -r
[01:39] <Crunchybits> ah
[01:39] <Crunchybits> so use BT
[01:39] <wflme> BT won't quite help. it's just a tool
[01:39] <DasEi> wflme: #backtracklinux my last hint on that
[01:39] <bkfitz> ubuntucork: welll since it streamed through all the /proc folder the recursive switch must have worked yes
[01:39] <Crunchybits> you want to check for security holes
[01:39] <wflme> I already got root through SQLi
[01:39] <Crunchybits> and exploits
[01:40] <Crunchybits> and sql injections
[01:40] <Daditos> nit-wit, should I install Wubi directly in my System Partition (C:\ the one windows uses) ? or use the separate 50 GB drive I had set up?
[01:40] <wflme> there ARE secureity holes. I got root with nothing else but the URL
[01:40]  * hiexpo shakes his head
[01:40] <nit-wit> Daditos, I would put it in C for the easiest use.
[01:40] <jerry_l> Daditos: alot of the give away thumd drives have a web page attached as a 16mb cd with a 984mb avail on thumb drive.
[01:40] <Crunchybits> ah poorly crafted SQL and web directory security
[01:41] <ubuntucork> bkfitz: if you can get back to the recovery mode again and try "dpkg-reconfigure --all"
[01:41] <ubuser> im trying to install the nvidia drivers with chmod, and its telling me to close x server, how can i? lol
[01:41] <Daditos> ok, thanks
[01:41] <ubuntucork> bkfitz: that may help, but I cant promise :(
[01:41] <wflme> now back in the day when I was a blackhat sorta, I used LKM (linux kernel modules) to install a proper rootkit
[01:41] <Crunchybits> is this system able to be offilne as is unplug the nic or put it in loopback
[01:41] <wflme> but as I said before, that was 10+ years ago
[01:41] <bkfitz> ubuntucork: i'll give it a shot
[01:42] <ubuntucork> ubuser: install it in a virtual terminal <ctrl><alt>2 for example :)
[01:42] <thomb> can someone help to diagnose an install failure (https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+question/158859)
[01:42] <Daditos> jerry_l, so, do you think it could be done as a half assed solution?  To carry CD images in minipartitions of a hard drive to boot Linux, for example?
[01:42] <liminal> when i boot 11.04 I get a purple screen infront of the grub loader... does everyone get this as default or is my installation broke??
[01:42] <jerry_l> how do i install my nic after i said no during the install>? ubuntu 10.0.4
[01:42] <Daditos> not that I'd give it too much use, but it's just 800 mb or so
[01:42] <ubuntucork> be back in about 10 minutes have a job to do here away from pc :)
[01:42] <wflme> I do believe that there's stuff I
[01:42] <wflme> I've never dreamt of
[01:42] <wflme> it's 2011, for fock's sake
[01:42] <ubuser> well ctrl alt delete didnt work
[01:43] <jerry_l> Daditos: i think i have a program that changes the flags of the device.
[01:43] <DasEi> jerry_l: put config in /etc/network/interfaces , restart networking, hope module is on board
[01:43] <wflme> I got openssh patched
[01:43] <Crunchybits> I highly recommand BT5 it is more advanced than you think and will remote scan the system if you want internal scans then then youc an use rkhunter
[01:44] <ubuser> im trying to chmod a video driver and its asking me to close X server
[01:44] <joopie> i am having a problem with my USB headset(steelseries siberia v2), i can see it in the input, output, the input picks up the mic sound and my usb controls work, just no sound, all volume is up, sound works on speakers
[01:44] <jerry_l> built in nic,, where do i get config from?
[01:44] <wflme> what I'm looking for is some kernel module to hide a certain directory as well as all processes ran by a certain id
[01:44] <liminal> Anyone with 11.04.. when you boot do you see a purple screen.. yes or no?
[01:44] <nit-wit> liminal, yes
[01:45] <wflme> oh well, you guys are ubuntu specific, seems to me
[01:45] <jerry_l>  joopie: make shure all audio settings are visible,, PCM, WAVE, etc Left right front back.......
[01:45] <DasEi> ubuser: (logs you off to cmd-line!) to start/stop gdm use : sudo service gdm start btw stop
[01:45] <wflme> thanks nevertheless
[01:45] <DasEi> !support | wflme
[01:45] <liminal> nit-wit any idea why ubuntu is playing about with purple screens in the grub?
[01:46] <nit-wit> wflme, sorry we can't live up to your conflation.;)
[01:46] <thomb> *sigh*
[01:46] <nit-wit> liminal, can you explain better is it the backdrop of grub?
[01:47] <liminal> no its a purple screen.. a splash screen i guess.
[01:47] <liminal> but i want to see the output of the grub
[01:47] <nit-wit> liminal, hold down the shift key on powering on.
[01:48] <bkfitz> ubuntucork: its running through... giving me a lot of choices... i'm going with the defaults
[01:48] <thomb> ubiquity fails on supported hardware. X crashes. where is this reported?
[01:48] <liminal> nit-wit what does shift do?
[01:49] <nit-wit> liminal,  actual hit e at grub and remove the quiet soplash for text you can do this in a file if you want a text boot always
[01:49] <Azelphur> anyone know how to override the gnome theme for a single application?
[01:49] <nit-wit> *actually
[01:49] <bkfitz> ubuntucork: i'm extra glad I put home in a separate partition now :)
[01:49] <liminal> nit-wit that doesnt fix it
[01:50] <liminal> this isnt a grub setting.. its an ubuntu setting
[01:50] <ubuser> im trying to chmod a .run driver file, and its telling to close x server, ive checked google
[01:50] <thomb> *double sigh*
[01:50] <nit-wit> liminal, fix what?
[01:50] <liminal> whatever causes the stupid purple screen to load infront of the grub output
[01:51] <bkfitz> ubuntucork: its still sitting at the load screen... do you think its possible that its actually 'doing' something that i should wait for??
[01:51] <nit-wit> ! ot | thomb,
[01:51] <DasEi> ubuser: for chmoding no need but to execute it you'll need , sudo chmod +x blahFile.run is fine in terminal with X
[01:51] <meoblast001> if i have drwxrwxr-x  2 www-data www-data 4096 2011-05-21 17:57 www, and i'm of group www-data, why would it not be letting me create a file in that directory?
[01:52] <thomb> nit-wit:  so asking an ubuntu-related support question is offtopic?
[01:52] <Crunchybits> meoblast you try sudo mkdir -p
[01:53] <nit-wit> thomb, no but the offtoptipc comments are. sigh double sigh
[01:53] <meoblast001> Crunchybits: hm?
[01:53] <meoblast001> why?
[01:53] <thomb> nit-wit: I'm glad to see that the important things are being taken care of.
[01:53] <bkfitz> Does anyone know what removing "others" permissions on root does
[01:53] <Crunchybits> that would allow you to create a directory in a root owned area
[01:53] <bkfitz> I've basically fd my install
[01:54] <meoblast001> i'm not trying to create a directory
[01:54] <meoblast001> i'm trying to create a file
[01:54] <Crunchybits> ah
[01:54] <bkfitz> sorry using nautilus
[01:54] <joopie> jerry_l, where can i see if they are visible?
[01:54] <Crunchybits> then try this
[01:54] <Crunchybits> sudo touch filename
[01:54] <Crunchybits> then sudo vi filename
[01:54] <Eitan> so gents, i have the task of setting up 10 new desktops
[01:54] <meoblast001> i don't want to have to sudo every time i want to create a file
[01:54] <Eitan> put the hardware together, and install software, i would like do go with ubuntu and its great gui
[01:54] <meoblast001> i want to be able to move files here over SSH
[01:54] <Crunchybits> then edit sudoer file
[01:54] <nit-wit> thomb, the oimportant things are to realize that the world does not revolve around you my friend. Just adding extra comments with no substance is a bit selfish or am I wrong here.;)..
[01:54] <meoblast001> erm, SFTP
[01:55] <Crunchybits> to allow your useraccount all access
[01:55] <meoblast001> where i can't sudo everything
[01:55] <nit-wit> *important
[01:55] <thomb> nit-wit: Where is the correct place to ask my question?
[01:55] <meoblast001> i just need to be able to write to this directory... i have write access on the gorup and user
[01:55] <meoblast001> and i'm in the group
[01:55] <Eitan> question is i need to have complete control of these computers, Pretty much lock them down, they are being used only for a call center, they pretty much need to be locked down, very little ability... any thing u guys recommend for this
[01:56] <nit-wit> thomb, you were chastised by the launchpad group, back it up and reinstall, if you wangt a working stytem, is what I would do.
[01:56] <qin> Eitan: locked down? You mean no solitere, etc?
[01:56] <nit-wit> *want
[01:56] <nit-wit> brb
[01:57] <Eitan> hehe, qin: correct
[01:57] <thomb> net-wit: "chastised"? What are you talking about? the failure is *in installation*
[01:57] <Eitan> no solitair, no internet access bedies 4 speciifed sites. no saving files
[01:57] <Crunchybits> Eitan I take these are debian based
[01:57] <thomb> nit-wit: the system has never bene installed. I'm trying to *install* it.
[01:57] <Eitan> crunchybits: have no decided
[01:57] <qin> Eitan: But most of work is done with browser?
[01:57] <Eitan> i havent built the systems yet
[01:58] <Eitan> qin: yes just 4 customer services websites, need to block all other sites
[01:58] <Crunchybits> Then you will need to decide the platform first
[01:58] <thomb> nit-wit: and nobody "chastised" me; one person offered the unhelpful suggestions to run memtest and cd check.
[01:58] <Eitan> and would like to have rmeote view access to the systems as well
[01:58] <Eitan> cruncybits: yes thats right... i like ubuntu, more confortable with it than debian or centos...
[01:58] <Crunchybits> You can use Squid to block and allow sites
[01:58] <m15terbang> Eitan: what about Redhat Server?
[01:58] <Eitan> thats why i am asking if you guys think its a good solution...
[01:58] <thomb> Is there someone who understands ubiquity and X, in natty, around?
[01:58] <m15terbang> for OS
[01:58] <Herbs> CentOS is far better as a server
[01:59] <Eitan> right, these are just desktops
[01:59] <Crunchybits> Redhat over priced
[01:59] <Eitan> not supposed to be a server
[01:59] <Crunchybits> OK well windows use MMC GPO lock down
[01:59] <Eitan> cause if i make this all off a server then i am going to need disaster recovery... so 2 servers and fail over and stuff like that
[01:59] <m15terbang> Eitan: ah, okay. I read remote access and thought server immediately. My bad. hehe
[01:59] <DasEi> Eitan: can be done, start up with minimal installer, choose no soft in first hand, then from that headless install, install ssh and then ask again, step by step
[01:59] <Eitan> hehe
[02:00] <qin> Eitan: internet is simple - iptables, desktop, well, either remove all software or chmod it down, also you can build usesr policies in shadow file, there are 2 projects (for linux internet caffee) in sourceforge too.
[02:00] <bkfitz> ubuntucork: holy @#$%@#$  my initial incling (sp?) was correct... i did a chmod 755 / and i'm back
[02:00] <Eitan> nice
[02:00] <ghostnik11> is there an program that is similar to empathy with support for sip, irc, google talk and give me better irc and sip support
[02:00] <Eitan> ok, thats my plan, to make one system perfect
[02:00] <bkfitz> ubuntucork: i guess the properties window in nautilus isn't recursive???
[02:00] <nit-wit> ! PM | thomb
[02:00] <Eitan> then just image it over, all systems will have identical hardware
[02:00] <DasEi> ghostnik11: see:
[02:00] <DasEi> !info pidgin
[02:00] <DasEi> !skype
[02:01] <nit-wit> !pm | thomb
[02:01] <thomb> Where is the proper place to complain about a rude person on #ubuntu?
[02:01] <DasEi> !info ekiga | ghostnik11
[02:01] <nit-wit> @feenode
[02:01] <qin> Eitan: You can even make own "distro" in Ubunru/Debian as long it is GPL.£
[02:01] <nit-wit> #freenode
[02:01] <rww> thomb: #ubuntu-ops
[02:01] <thomb> nit-wit: you are behaving extremely rudely.
[02:02] <nit-wit> thomb, I'm sorry you feel that way.
[02:02] <thomb> nit-wit: you have attacked me for saying *sigh* as if this is a major invasion.
[02:02] <ghostnik11> dasei: yeah but i kind of want a program that does everything in one, i know ekiga is better in overall sip but won't allow me to talk in google talk at same time via im
[02:03] <thomb> nit-wit: you then proceeded to incorrectly characterize a question, and offer an absolutely off-topic "answer" that showed that you hadn't paid any attention to it.
[02:03] <thomb> nit-wit: so in a private message I said I thought you were being unhelpful
[02:03] <thomb> nit-wit: and you chose to attack me twice again.
[02:03] <thomb> nit-wit: this is not acceptible.
[02:03] <nit-wit> k
[02:03] <thomb> So, is there anyone here with technical competence about ubiquity and X?
[02:04] <DasEi> ghostnik11: try pidgin, has skype plugin too, though I liked an external app better, your choice
[02:05] <ghostnik11> dasei: pidgin is good and comes close but they don't have support for voice/video calls through sip yet and would be a huge drawback for me as my primary contact is through sip
[02:06] <DasEi> ghostnik11: video over googlemail works, though
[02:06] <bkfitz> Anyone know what the gnome terminal ls folder highlighted green means
[02:06] <Crunchybits> Or build your own Voice/Video (VOIP) server with Grubber
[02:07] <Crunchybits> means chmod 777
[02:07] <bkfitz> eh
[02:07] <Crunchybits> read write execute
[02:07] <qin> bkfitz: ls -l (for permissions and ownership)
[02:07] <Herbs> crunchybits no it doesent
[02:07] <bkfitz> yeah i did a ls -la and a bunch of my / folders are green
[02:07] <Crunchybits> you can change them
[02:07] <aa_ron> Hi, so I've had a problem with my boot time being ridiculously long. I believe it is udev hanging, several other people have been having the same problem. I couldnt find a solution on the ubuntu forums, but here is someone with the same issue: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1680783
[02:08] <bkfitz> if you didn't see my earlier posts, i royally f'd my machine by gksu nautilus properties permissions remove 'others'
[02:08] <Crunchybits> bkfits pruge it
[02:08] <bkfitz> then booted into recovery and did a chmod 755 /
[02:08] <Crunchybits> purge*
[02:09] <bkfitz> but i was trying a bunch of shit and might have done a recursive 777
[02:09] <bkfitz> what does purge do
[02:09] <Crunchybits> it strips the installation away
[02:09] <Crunchybits> the installation of the application
[02:09] <bkfitz> what application?
[02:10] <nit-wit> Daditos, hows the install going?
[02:10] <Crunchybits> well if you FUBAR gksu Nautilus you can doa  purge remove then reinstall it
[02:10] <Herbs> bkfitz 755 is not secure for /
[02:11] <bkfitz> yeah... was just trying to get my machine to boot... at that point it wouldn't even boot
[02:11] <Crunchybits> that is hours of chmod fun
[02:11] <bkfitz> exactly
[02:11] <bkfitz> thinking a fresh install will be faster...
[02:11] <Crunchybits> love this install of crunchbang
[02:12] <Crunchybits> yeah it will
[02:12] <Crunchybits> you should try crunchbang
[02:12] <Crunchybits> then install gnome on it
[02:12] <nit-wit> Crunchybits, the fedora 15 with gnome3 is not bad as well.
[02:12] <qin> bkfitz: Most likely you need to reinstall your system, for future: get virtualbox and conclude your experiments there, not on main system.
[02:12] <bkfitz> ugh... no way to have ubuntu 'reset' os folder perms to default?
[02:12] <Crunchybits> ferdora eww
[02:12] <Daditos> it's downloading luci-desktop-amd64.iso
[02:13] <Crunchybits> ok ok not fair
[02:13] <nit-wit> Daditos, cool
[02:13] <Crunchybits> fedora is ok, I like the 3d cube
[02:13] <Herbs> fedora is not bad
[02:13] <IdleOne> !ot | Crunchybits Herbs
[02:13] <qin> bkfitz: You userd -R , so pointless to try to recover anything.
[02:13] <ghostnik11> dasei: i think i will try pidgin but i will ultimately stay with empathy and hopefully next update will make empathy better with sip and other features, thanks
[02:13] <Herbs> idleone I responded to somthing posted
[02:13] <Crunchybits> but if you run 64 fedora make sure you get 32 bit firefox for flash
[02:14] <nit-wit> fed 15 seems to be the best yet I'm not a big fan of theirs.
[02:14] <IdleOne> Herbs: doesn't make it any less off topic
[02:14]  * rww protds channel back in the direction of Ubuntu technical support
[02:14] <Crunchybits> the 64bit flash has issues with fedora
[02:14] <Herbs> fair enough
[02:14] <thomb> nit-wit: only I'm entitled to the scolding I see.
[02:14] <Crunchybits> You really should try crunchbang
[02:14] <Crunchybits> its super slick
[02:14] <Snakkah> I have a very odd problem. Every time I try to unmount my external hard drive from right-clicking on the icon, I get this message: "Unable to unmount My Data umount: /media/My Data is not in the fstab (and you are not root)"
[02:14] <rww> Crunchybits: #ubuntu is for Ubuntu and official derivatives. Please stick to technical support for them.
[02:14] <bkfitz> SOB
[02:15] <Snakkah> I can unmount it from the Disk Utility though.
[02:15] <bkfitz> didn't really want to do that, but i guess i fd myself
[02:15] <Snakkah> Also, GParted isn't seeing the partitions in it.
[02:15] <nit-wit> thomb, okay I would lety it go man we afre here to help each other.
[02:15] <Herbs> snakkah have you tried unmounting with sudo
[02:15] <rasty> hi
[02:15] <Snakkah> Yeah Herbs, it works that way.
[02:15] <Crunchybits> lol Unbuntu is linux as is crunchbang just a different skin
[02:15] <qin> bkfitz: handkerchief
[02:15] <zen933k> He shouldn't have to
[02:15] <Crunchybits> all the same commands
[02:15] <Snakkah> But I really don't want to have to do that.
[02:15] <Herbs> snakkah there you go then
[02:15] <rasty> exit
[02:15] <Snakkah> But Herbs, I shouldn't have to do that.
[02:15] <Snakkah> It should unmount automatically.
[02:15] <Herbs> snakkah why?
[02:16] <zen933k> Snakkah: What kind of filesystems are on it?
[02:16] <Crunchybits> and dont sensor me
[02:16] <Snakkah> zen933k, it's an NTFS partition I use for backup, it's an external hard drive.
[02:16] <Snakkah> zen933k, 400 GB of it is NTFS, 100 is unallocated.
[02:16] <zen933k> Snakkah: Okay, the user you're logged in as is default admin account?
[02:17] <Snakkah> Yes.
[02:17] <Herbs> snakkah modify your sudoers and give permissions to execute umount without pass
[02:17] <zen933k> Snakkah: Hmm... Open Users and accounts and double check that you have permission to do everything
[02:18] <CrunchybitsEatu> Do that again I eat the chan ops
[02:18] <Snakkah> Herbs, zen933k, it says I do have permission to do everything...
[02:18] <zen933k> Snakkah: GIve me 5 minutes to boot vm to double check
[02:18] <Herbs> snakkah yes but with authentication
[02:18] <rww> CrunchybitsEatu: again, #ubuntu is for technical support for Ubuntu and derivatives. Thanks :)
[02:18] <Snakkah> Herbs, yeah I know.
[02:18] <Snakkah> It asked for authentication.
[02:19] <rww> official derivatives **
[02:19] <Herbs> snakkah so you have to use sudo unless your talking about the gui settings form perms and not the sudoers file Im more experienced with servers
[02:19] <CrunchybitsEatu> rww maybe you should read crunchbang it ubuntu spin off lol
[02:19] <CrunchybitsEatu> juanty spin
[02:20] <rww> CrunchybitsEatu: Crunchbang is a Debian derivative, and even if it were an Ubuntu derivative (which it isn't), it'd be offtopic for here because it's not official.
[02:20] <IdleOne> CrunchybitsEatu: read and follow our guidelines.
[02:20] <LAcan> can someone type my name rel quick?
[02:20] <rww> LAcan: no ;P
[02:20] <LAcan> lol thx
[02:22] <JuJuBee> Is there a kde quivalent for Places->Connect To Server?
[02:22] <rww> JuJuBee: which protocol are you trying to use (ssh, ftp, etc.)?
[02:22] <rez410> i have an aver one 722 with win7 and ubuntu..all of a sudden when i boot it shows me the acer(bios) screen then shows a flashing-random color screen. any ideas?
[02:23] <rez410> acer*
[02:23] <zaya> rez410 sounds like grup
[02:23] <zaya> grub* sorry
[02:23] <JuJuBee> rww not sure, we have to use openvpn to map a network drive to get to our docs at work from home.
[02:23] <rez410> i cangrb?
[02:23] <LAcan> there is a windows util that lets you map amazon cloud storage to a drive in windows... does anything similar exist for ubuntu?
[02:23] <rez410> ok so i can boot up my to my flash drive and edit grub?
[02:24] <rww> JuJuBee: ah. I was going to say that KDE lets you just put (e.g.) sftp://user@hostname/home/rww/whatever in file location bars, but I don't know anything about OpenVPN so I don't know if you can do that with those.
[02:24] <Herbs> rez410 have you run the acer software that does updates etc?
[02:24] <nit-wit> re2410; are you getting a grub boot screen after and was this a dual boot or wubi install?
[02:24] <CrunchybitsEatu> yes Julubee  KDe has a netowrk connection
[02:24] <Herbs> rez410 in windows that is
[02:24] <rez410> Herbs: i dont believe so..in win7?
[02:24] <rez410> no
[02:24] <CrunchybitsEatu> you can setup openvpn same way
[02:25] <Herbs> rez410 hmm I know that has removed grub in the past so I reckon you just need to reinstall grub
[02:25] <JuJuBee> CrunchybitsEatu: not sure I follow
[02:25] <CrunchybitsEatu> or click on the nic card icon you will be presented with edit connection
[02:25] <rez410> Herbs: could i get some wuick steps? i have a bootable usb with ubuntu 10.10
[02:25] <LAcan> CrunchybitsEatu, right click
[02:25] <CrunchybitsEatu> yep
[02:25] <rez410> Herbs: quick*
[02:25] <CrunchybitsEatu> then you can edit
[02:26] <CrunchybitsEatu> then add your vpn connection info in there
[02:26] <CrunchybitsEatu>  then you will left click and it will say connect
[02:26] <Herbs> rex410 wuick? sorry Im not vey experienced with ubuntu or desktops mainly RedHat based servers
[02:26] <rez410> Herbs: sorry ment quick
[02:26] <rez410> meant*
[02:27] <rez410> Herbs: quick steps that is
[02:27] <rez410> nit-wit: no i am dual booting and not amking it to grub
[02:27] <rez410> nit-wit: *making*
[02:28] <zaya> rez410 not many quick steps to fixing grub unless you've made a repair disk
[02:28] <rez410> zaya: oh ok...i do have a bootable usb with 10.10
[02:28] <nit-wit> re2410; https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling%20from%20LiveCD
[02:29] <rez410> nit-wit: thanks
[02:29] <zaya> rez410 what nit-wit said
[02:29] <nit-wit> re2410; you have to use a natty cd for this rad taht in the link.
[02:29] <nit-wit> *read that.
[02:31] <nit-wit> rez410, did you catch the use the equal cd or loaded thumb if it is Natty?
[02:31] <rez410> nit-wit: not sure what you mean but I was using 10.10
[02:31] <leandro_7> hi
[02:32] <thelinux> Hi 2
[02:32] <nit-wit> rez410, cool then your okay Natty has to be loaded with a Natty cd just following up to make sure we are on the same page.
[02:32] <jack_^> this place is dead tonight
[02:32] <rez410> nit-wit: ok..so just reinstall grub?
[02:32] <zaya> yes
[02:33] <rez410> zaya: thanks
[02:33] <zaya> rez410 You can try to reconfigure it but you may have to simply reinstall
[02:33] <leandro_7> s
[02:33] <leandro_7> huh
[02:33] <nit-wit> rez410,  would want to see a bootscript we use to really know, but it wont hurt it is=f you install grub correctly and that is the problem.
[02:33] <rez410> zaya: have a guide for that?
[02:33] <nit-wit> *I
[02:33] <LAcan> there is a windows util that lets you map amazon cloud storage to a drive in windows... does anything similar exist for ubuntu?
[02:33] <Herbs> rez410 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
[02:33] <zaya> rez410: Know though, when it's up again to make a repair cd
[02:34] <leandro_7> i wold like to know why sudo apt-get install boo¿uild essential  doesnt work
[02:34] <CrunchybitsEatu> Grub has many options already in it you just need to read which one you want in the grub.conf file and select the number replace the default=
[02:34] <leandro_7> i mean build
[02:34] <CrunchybitsEatu> you spelled it wrong
[02:34] <nit-wit> ! who | CrunchybitsEatu
[02:34] <researcher123> My hard disk is fully used by Ubuntu 11.04. Now I want to install windows by its side to make a dual boot.What to do?
[02:34] <leandro_7> i know
[02:34] <rez410> Herbs: my mai thing is tho to not reinstall OS's
[02:34] <CrunchybitsEatu> sorry will put names in for the limited
[02:34] <rez410> main*
[02:35] <DasEi> LAcan: I'm not sure if I get the question right, but:
[02:35] <zaya> rez410: check msg
[02:35] <DasEi> !ubuntuone
[02:35] <leandro_7> sudo apt-get install build-essential
[02:35] <rez410> zaya: k
[02:35] <leandro_7> but not working on natty narwhal
[02:35] <CrunchybitsEatu> what is the error leandro
[02:35] <nit-wit> researcher123, if you have gparted installed take a screen shot of te HD and imagebin it.
[02:35] <nit-wit> *the
[02:35] <LAcan> DasEi, ya no, i have ubuntu one but the client for windows is terrible (high usage) and amazon gives u 5 gigs.. i guess im looking for an amazon cloud client specifically
[02:36] <researcher123> nit-wit: ok.Im doing it now
[02:36] <rez410> zaya: im back
[02:36] <djzn> is it normal for a user to see another's user directory and  browse thorugh it in current Natty default install ?
[02:36] <akil> hi
[02:36] <FlashJordan1> whats the best all in one mac theme for ubuntu 10.04?
[02:36] <leandro_7> couldnt find package
[02:36] <darkorical> hey all I am looking for something that I dont even know if it exists ... I have a 11.04 server that has an audio card installed (not sure if it is working or not tho but thats beside the point) I would like to move my audio files to it hook up a set of speakers and then access it remotely via web page to setup playlists and start /stop music does such a thing exist?
[02:36] <nit-wit> researcher123, cool it is nice to see what s up first.
[02:36] <rez410> zaya: have that link again?>
[02:36] <CrunchybitsEatu> djzn that means they didnt set propper security
[02:36] <rez410> nit-wit: im back
[02:36] <CrunchybitsEatu> proper*
[02:36] <FlashJordan1> themes?
[02:36] <zaya> chk msg
[02:37] <akil> unity in ubuntu 11.04 is really hangs my pc
[02:37] <entombed> Would /wc
[02:37] <akil> wat 2 do:?
[02:37] <djzn> CrunchybitsEatu, but actually, I can delete anything from another user
[02:37] <djzn> CrunchybitsEatu, I can only browse and see the files, like in Windows
[02:37] <CrunchybitsEatu> yeah poor security
[02:37] <darkorical> akil logout at the bottom of the screen you can switch to ubuntu classic
[02:37] <qin> darkorical: shoutcast, icecast, vlc, mplayer, nc (a bit tricky), etc...
[02:37] <CrunchybitsEatu> I should take that job at amazon lol
[02:37] <leandro_7> neither aptitude works
[02:38] <nit-wit> rez410, are you in like flynn
[02:38] <rez410> zaya: i guess if the grub reinstall doesnt work i could reinstall OS's
[02:38] <rez410> nit-wit: absolutely
[02:38] <qin> darkorical: Or, mdp, or mocp via ssh ;)
[02:38] <CrunchybitsEatu> the proper way to do it is have a nexus server create MD5 hash marks as the user name then give that user rights over their own directory and hide it with a .fi
[02:38] <zaya> rez410: try that link, if that doesn't help (which it should) then you can try a reinstall but that means something bigger happened.
[02:38] <darkorical> qin I dont want to stream music I want it to basically be my sterio and just control it remotely
[02:38] <rez410> nit-wit: closer to joh daily at this point
[02:39] <tacotruck123> Anyone want to assist me with setting up apache2 for a user instead of having it be in var/www
[02:39] <rez410> john*
[02:39] <djzn> is it normal
[02:39] <nit-wit> rez2410` cool I generally don't like to advise in a grub area without a loo kat a script we use
[02:39] <djzn> to access read only another's user dir
[02:39] <CrunchybitsEatu> no djzn
[02:39] <CrunchybitsEatu> someone F'ed up
[02:39] <researcher123> nit-wit: here it is http://imagebin.org/155348
[02:39] <zen933k> akil: I have a hard time believing that if my netbook runs it fine... But, you might consider the 2D desktop, turn down the graphic settings, and make sure an y 3rd party video drivers are installed properly.
[02:39] <djzn> CrunchybitsEatu, so where's the catch....
[02:40] <djzn> CrunchybitsEatu, do I need to remove anyone from a group
[02:40] <qin> darkorical: Yes, server and client can be on same machine (so you need extra client like - mpd, mocp - to control server )
[02:40] <DasEi> djzn: that's the default-install, but can change permission oc
[02:40] <CrunchybitsEatu> you should email them djzn with screen shots I bet you get a sweet reward
[02:40] <rez410> zaya: i accidentally closed out before I clicked the link so i lost it
[02:40] <rez410> zaya: nevermind
[02:40] <CrunchybitsEatu> djzn you can vi groups
[02:40] <zen933k> Snakkah: Did you get your NTFS figured out, if not I want you to check  something
[02:41] <BentSpace> I want to do a fresh install of Ubuntu 11.04 and I'm on Ubuntu 10.04 right now with an encrypted home drive should I backup my files unencrypted and have 11.04 reencrypt them or is there a way to transfer the encrypted files to 11.04 with the same encryption?
[02:41] <nit-wit> researcher123, you can just shrink the sda1 to the right make a ntfs partion in the unallocated space left. Right click the NTFS then mange flags click boot , reboot to the windows install disc and install to that preformatted ntfs.
[02:41] <leandro_7> so anybody could help me or is the package already installed
[02:41] <nit-wit> researcher123, sorry shrink to the left the sda1
[02:41] <researcher123> nit-wit: gparted is not allowing doing that
[02:41] <darkorical> qin did I mention that the server is headless (gui-less)
[02:41] <qin> darkorical: mocp via ssh is easiest solution, mdp do not reqire ssh, but setting is a bit more hectic.
[02:41] <nit-wit> researcher123, right click the swao then off
[02:42] <darkorical> alright looking at mocp now
[02:42] <zen933k> leandro_7: Whats up?
[02:42] <CrunchybitsEatu> delete them from there or groupdel
[02:42] <djzn> CrunchybitsEatu, i take that if you are in the "adm' group, you CAN browse other limited user directories, right
[02:42] <nit-wit> researcher123, *swap
[02:42] <rez410> zaya: thanks for the help
[02:42] <qin> darkorical: package is called moc
[02:42] <CrunchybitsEatu> yes and no
[02:42] <researcher123> nit-wit: swap off now
[02:43] <nit-wit> researcher123, should work now if your on a live cd you can't resiuze a partition your using.
[02:43] <nit-wit> *resize
[02:43] <leandro_7> s
[02:43] <researcher123> nit-wit: i AM ON MY HARD DISK
[02:43] <darkorical> qin how about the web interface control aspect of my desire
[02:43] <dejancux> hi.....
[02:43] <gsr> BentSpace, the 11.04 installer should detect the encrypted fs
[02:43] <djzn> i just spotted that the Group UI tool in ubuntu is making  an adm group, instead of an admin grou
[02:44] <nit-wit> researcher123, I figured that out no biggie boot a live cd.
[02:44] <CrunchybitsEatu> ok dinner time time to apt-get install food
[02:44] <gsr> BentSpace, just use the same username/password as you did before.
[02:44] <darkorical> kinda wanting kids to be able to start music ... and while I do think it would be awsome to be able to brag that my 4 year old can use putty .... not sure thats the best idea
[02:44] <researcher123> nit-wit: dont have CD but a bootable pen drive will do? I have it
[02:44] <gsr> BentSpace, that being said, whenever you do a clean install, you should backup important data.
[02:44] <nit-wit> researcher123, yeah just a live envoroment the thumb and cd have gparted already installed
[02:44] <nemo> just put natty on this laptop, have an odd problem  - totem always has a black screen while playing.  mplayer is fine.  if I take a screenshot in totem, screenshot comes out fine
[02:45] <nemo> so it is in display, not decoding
[02:45] <aeon-ltd> nemo: running compiz?
[02:45] <nemo> also happens regardless of file
[02:45] <BentSpace> grs, but if I do a clean install the hard drive will be wiped so how will it see my encrypted files
[02:45] <nemo> aeon-ltd: tested w/ metacity. no change
[02:45] <nit-wit> nemo, did you install the restricted-extras?
[02:46] <nemo> nit-wit: all that stuff is installed, but as noted, is regardless of codec, and the video frames show up fine in screenshot
[02:46] <researcher123> nit-wit: will I need gparted installed on my pen drive before I boot from it?
[02:46] <gsr> BentSpace, sorry, I assumed /home was on a seperate partition/drive
[02:46] <nit-wit> researcher123, should be there already.
[02:46] <BentSpace> grs, no worries, maybe it should be
[02:46] <nit-wit> researcher123, just remember to turn the swap off.
[02:47] <nemo> if I run gstreamer-properties and do a video test - I should see something more than a black screen, right?
[02:47] <researcher123> nit-wit: ok.Thanks. I will work it. But what will happen to my GRUB then? Dual boot will be possible?
[02:47] <aeon-ltd> nemo: what if you minimize the window or resize does it flicker?
[02:47] <gsr> BentSpace, otherwise yeah, you'lll have to eitehr backup the encrypted files, or decrypt it.
[02:47] <gsr> and then copy
[02:47] <qin> darkorical: mocp to my knowledge to not posses ready web plugin, but i may be wrong, shoutcast have.
[02:48] <DasEi> LAcan: if you add a partiton in amazon, can sudo fdisk -l see the drive ? if so, add it to fsat, an additional mount-command might be needed in rc.local
[02:48] <gsr> BentSpace, but yeah, /home should always be on a seperate partiton, if possible.   Same with /etc and /root, if you can.  And /var/log if your very security conscious.
[02:48] <nit-wit> researcher123, you will just have to reload the grub bootloader hold on I will get you a link. Use a Thumb or cd equal to the ubuntu install to reload grub.    https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling%20from%20LiveCD
[02:48] <DasEi> fstab*, LAcan
[02:48] <researcher123> nit-wit: ok
[02:48] <nemo> aeon-ltd: no flicker
[02:49] <nemo> aeon-ltd: but, still under metacity anyway. and w/o accel
[02:49] <qin> darkorical: http://mpd.wikia.com/wiki/Clients
[02:49] <nit-wit> researcher123, if you have a naaty install use a natty loaded thumb that is the most important distro as grub2 has changed.;)
[02:50] <nemo> so. gstreamer-properties video test - does that show something other than a black screen for others?
[02:50] <nemo> I'm wondering if the problem is in v4l2
[02:50] <researcher123> nit-wit: ok
[02:50] <Keegers> Can anyone help? I have a Toshiba laptop and the trackpad is listed as a PS/2 Mouse instead of a trackpad.... I have 10.10. I have tried a lot of the solutions online and none seem to work.
[02:50] <nemo> and, if so, if there's a package that might provide another video playback.  I can't test v4l2 in mplayer, it just errors with that vo
[02:51] <nemo> Keegers: just thinking maaaybe might be a BIOS setting? just a guess. perhaps there's a clue in dmesg spew, or xorg log
[02:51] <diegoviola> how to install vim full in ubuntu?
[02:51] <diegoviola> vim with everything
[02:51] <diegoviola> vim/gvim full
[02:51] <BentSpace> grs, thank you.  So easier just to decrypt it now and let 11.04 re-encrypt with a new passcode, right?
[02:51] <LAcan> DasEi, i doubt it because u cant mount the amazon cloud directly... in windows u need a third party tool to do it...
[02:51] <Keegers> nemo: I checked the BIOS... no setting relating to mouse in it
[02:51] <nemo> diegoviola: there are several vim packages in ubuntu - guessing you probably want gnome-vim plus recommended
[02:52] <nemo> Keegers: try pastebinning your xorg log and dmesg for us to paw over?
[02:52] <LAcan> brb
[02:52] <researcher123> nit-wit: my Live CD will be a pen drive which was created using ISO of 11.04. will it do?
[02:52] <nemo> does someone mind checking video test in gstreamer-properties to tell me what you see? I'd like to find out if a black screen is abnormal.
[02:52] <zaya> diegoviola: when in doubt ubuntu software center
[02:52] <DasEi> LAcan: I don't use amazon, but found a according tut for centos, so why not ?
[02:53] <Keegers> nemo: I hate to be a newbie, but can you give the commands you want the output for?
[02:53] <nit-wit> researcher123, oh yes .
[02:53] <nemo> Keegers: dmesg > ~/Desktop/dmesg.log
[02:53] <researcher123> nit-wit: thanks
[02:53] <nemo> cp /var/log/Xorg.0.log ~/Desktop
[02:53] <nemo> Keegers: then open those in your editor of choice and copy into pastebin.ubuntu.com
[02:53] <nit-wit> researcher123, no prblem.
[02:54] <karatorian> Can anyone tell me why my text mode is only 64 columns wide and how to fix it (i.e. get it to 80 or so)?
[02:55] <nemo> karatorian: your video card isn't autosensed by kernel. you might have some luck w/ manually setting the grub values.
[02:55] <Keegers> nemo: http://pastebin.com/mSaXH8f3
[02:55] <diegoviola> zaya: the gvim i have is tiny, i need the full one
[02:55] <aeon-ltd> karatorian: in the prompt? (no X?) you need to set the framebuffer resolution
[02:55] <tacotruck123> Restarting web server apache2
[02:55] <tacotruck123> /etc/host.conf: line 4: bad command `<IP_ADDRESS> test123.com'
[02:55] <tacotruck123>  ... waiting /etc/host.conf: line 4: bad command `<IP_ADDRESS> test123.com'
[02:55] <tacotruck123> Any ideas?
[02:56] <karatorian> aeon-ltd: Yes in the prompt. X works fine.
[02:56] <nemo> diegoviola: tiny how. and did you install gnome-vim ?
[02:56] <diegoviola> yes
[02:56] <Herbs> tacotruck123 you need to add that to /etc/hosts not /etc/host.conf
[02:56] <nemo> karatorian: I assume you mean at the VTs - which means you are in legacy mode... look into framebuffer for linux
[02:56] <nemo> karatorian: and the kernel options for it
[02:56] <tacotruck123> Herbs: oh fail :) thx
[02:57] <karatorian> aeon-ltd: The text mode screen resolution seems to be quite high, but only the top right corner is used.
[02:57] <nemo> and. there might be some clue in your dmesg
[02:57] <nemo> oh. wait. that's unusual...
[02:57] <nemo> still might not be using the framebuffer though :)
[02:58] <nemo> Keegers: unfortunately your dmesg has been filled up w/ that spew from your HD
[02:58] <nemo> Keegers: might get better info if you did a reboot, to get the stuff from startup - can look at your xorg log first though
[02:58] <Keegers> nemo: OK
[02:59] <bkfitz_> test
[02:59] <nemo> would someone please launch gstreamer-properties for me, and tell me what the video test shows for you. is it something more than a black screen?
[02:59] <Keegers> nemo: Where is the xorg log?
[02:59] <nemo> in fact, I'm not going to answer any more questions until someone does this one simple thing for me :-p
[02:59] <bkfitz_> If I reinstall 11.04 using my existing 10.10 /home partition, are there any concerns/things to watch for
[03:00] <zen933k> nemo: I got a menu box
[03:00] <aeon-ltd> bkfitz: your user configs may be slightly outdated; unlikely any huge problems though
[03:00] <zen933k> er, but I am vm'ing 10.4
[03:00] <nemo> zen933k: um. when clicking on the test button on the video tab??
[03:00] <nit-wit> nemo, looks normal here.
[03:00] <nemo> zen933k: you should get a popup w/ something
[03:00] <bkfitz_> gracias... and i just use the same manual partition install option like I did w/ 10.10 yes
[03:00] <Keegers> nemo: I get a Multimedia Systems Selector
[03:00] <nemo> nit-wit: and what does normal look like? seriously.
[03:00] <zen933k> nemo: Yes,
[03:01] <karatorian> nemo: the only graphics related thing lsmod shows is i915 ... does that mean I'm using the framebuffer or not?
[03:01] <nit-wit> nemo, the screen opens and the tests work
[03:01] <nemo> nit-wit: I just want to know if a black window on launching test is not normal, so I can infer this problem w/ totem is in v4l2 and look further into that.
[03:01] <nemo> ok...
[03:01] <nemo> right. on to keegers.
[03:02] <nit-wit> nemo, I have that same setting and O get collor line =s on tthe test.
[03:02] <BentSpace> grs, anybody, what is the advantage of a separate home partition and why doesn't Ubuntu set one up by default?
[03:02] <Keegers> nemo: I ran both tests on the MSS and it looks good. No black screens
[03:03] <aeon-ltd> BentSpace: less confusing to user, adv - easy reinstall/distro hopping
[03:03] <nemo> Keegers: aaaas I said before, /var/log/Xorg.0.log :-p
[03:03] <Herbs> bentspace the seperate /home is for if the system needs reinstalling and ubuntu doesent use it by default as its for Linux noobs#
[03:04] <DasEi> BentSpace: if you upgrade, your personal data is safe from system changes, same if you somehow bork the os
[03:04] <nemo> Herbs: also useful if you want to share a home between different computers, or just need more space :)
[03:04] <nemo> Herbs: or for certain backup setups
[03:04] <Herbs> nemo true
[03:04] <nemo> Herbs: and ubuntu isn't just for noobs :-p
[03:05] <bkfitz_> so is everyone recommending 11.04 or should i stick with 10.10
[03:05] <Herbs> nemo not so true :)
[03:05] <nemo> half my systems are ubuntu, and I've been using linux for 15 years
[03:05] <DasEi> !home | BentSpace
[03:05] <karatorian> Actually, the seperate /home is so that if, on a multiuser system without quotas, normal users can't fill up the system disk.
[03:05] <nemo> is a great distro for getting things setup rapidly
[03:05] <nemo> karatorian: right. that's what I said :-p
[03:05] <zen933k> bkfitz_: So long as you're not going to cry about Unity.
[03:05] <Herbs> nemo not saying its only for noobs just that its designed for easier use
[03:05] <nemo> karatorian: that's one reason.  but also useful for NFS mounting
[03:05] <Centallith> Use 11.04. I have it heavily customized and it works amazing.
[03:05] <bkfitz_> zem933k: i can always install gnome...
[03:06] <ThisDB> is there a way to save the size and position of all my windows and quickly switch between different "profiles"?
[03:06] <ThisDB> using "Ubuntu Classic" btw
[03:06] <Centallith> Download Docky and it can give it a nice Windows 7-ish feel with the bottom toolbar. Also a useful replacement for the Gnome Window list panenel.
[03:06] <nemo> bkfitz_: I personally am a "meh" on 11.04
[03:06] <zen933k> bkfitz_: I'm happy with 11.04 on my netbook, and unity is fine. Little bulkier by default
[03:06] <bkfitz_> just worried about compatibility with other software... mysql apache php etc
[03:06] <zaya> bkfitz: 11 has it's perks. Seems to be more geared for windows/mac users moving into linux than hard core linux users
[03:06] <karatorian> nemo: true
[03:06] <nemo> bkfitz_: definitely suggest using classic - although it does have more up to date Intel driver, which can help if you are trying things like webgl
[03:06] <nemo> bkfitz_: also updated fglrx - but you can get that from ATI
[03:07] <nemo> I find it to have been a bit buggier than some older ubuntu releases
[03:07] <bkfitz_> "classic"?
[03:07] <nemo> perhaps due to unity taking up their time
[03:07] <nit-wit> nemo, here are two screen shots to see the settngs and the test, http://imagebin.org/155351   http://imagebin.org/155352
[03:07] <Centallith> What's not to like about a friendly looking GUI though?  I made three partitions of my drive, the first holds the OS, third data, second empty. I'd like to install another OS on the second, but am worried because its ext4 (OS supports ntfs AFAIK). Is there anyway I can change the filesystem type?
[03:08] <nemo> Centallith: but I've ranted enough on the Unity Sucks launchpad bug (which got renamed recently)
[03:08] <Centallith> Nemo, Try installing Docky and get it working like a Window list. It's how I repurposed it.
[03:08] <Herbs> bkfitz its Linux you can use any desktop you want
[03:08] <karatorian> econdudeawesome: Yeah, that's easy.
[03:08] <econdudeawesome> karatorian: without wiping everything else?
[03:08] <zaya> bkfitz: goes back to the windows/mac users -> linux. If you like gnome it'll take patience familiarizing with unity
[03:08] <bkfitz_> Herbs: that's what I'm thinking... and i don't want to be the guy that never tries unity just bc i love gnome... so i'm torrenting 11 now
[03:08] <nit-wit> econdudeawesome, what do you want to install?
[03:08] <karatorian> econdudeawesome: Is there anything on the partition you're looking to use?
[03:09] <econdudeawesome> karatorian: no
[03:09] <zen933k> Herbs: Why use ubuntu unless you like their branding and packaging? Debian is a cleaner if you know gnu/linux...
[03:09] <econdudeawesome> nit-wit: need windows for some work software (doesn't work with wine and virtualbox)
[03:09] <karatorian> econdudeawesome: Then changing the filesystem type should be no problem. Chances are you can just tell the installer to use that partition and it'll take care of it for you.
[03:09] <econdudeawesome> thanks karatorian
[03:10] <nit-wit> econdudeawesome, use the gparted partitioner to turn that ext4 to a NTFS with a bootflag and it needs to be aprimary partion=outside of a extended.
[03:10] <Keegers> nemo: Got the location of the xorg files?
[03:11] <Herbs> bkfitz_ yeah I know what your saying my main issue is the way gnome is going Ive never liked any other desktops even though kde was the first I used back on mandrake Im thinking if gnome shell is poor not used it yet that I will be using run level 3 although that doesent seem possible in Ubuntu so back to Slackware I think
[03:11] <nemo> Keegers: uh. I told you twice
[03:11] <nemo> 21:53 < nemo> cp /var/log/Xorg.0.log ~/Desktop
[03:11] <nemo> 21:53 < nemo> cp /var/log/Xorg.0.log ~/Desktop
[03:11] <Keegers> nemo: sorry you did
[03:11] <nemo> 21:53 < nemo> cp /var/log/Xorg.0.log ~/Desktop
[03:11] <CrunchybitsEatu> ok back from dinner whats up with Gnome
[03:11] <nemo> pp[s
[03:11] <nit-wit> econdudeawesome, I would not trust the MS installer here, if it is windows 7 it will build two partitions and make 1 or 3 parttion unallocated.
[03:11] <nemo> oops. sorry about the multiple pastes
[03:12] <xoepxx> I room
[03:12] <nemo> I'm also kind of irritated about 11.04 breaking my X paste on the touchpad
[03:12] <nemo> I haven't gotten around to fixing it yet
[03:12] <xoepxx> I need to install flash... which one do I download?
[03:12] <xoepxx> HOw do I install it
[03:12] <nemo> apparently they tried to get clever about when to disable the 2 button middle-click, and haven't been quite that successful
[03:12] <nemo> plenty of touchpads have been screwed up
[03:12] <Centallith> The Flash plugin from the Ubuntu software center worked for me.
[03:12] <CrunchybitsEatu> Xoepxx you running a 64 bit os and borswer ?
[03:12] <zaya> crunchybitseatu: I like your exit: sudo apt-get install food :-)
[03:12] <CrunchybitsEatu> browser*
[03:12] <bkfitz_> Herbs: I like KDE also, but was converted by Ubuntu... every Slackware, Mandrake, Fedora install I ever did was KDE, but tried gnome w/ UB and love it
[03:12] <xoepxx> no
[03:12] <CrunchybitsEatu> ty
[03:13] <xoepxx> CrunchybitsEatu: 32 but
[03:13] <xoepxx> firefox
[03:13] <zen933k> bkfitz_: Why not Kubuntu?
[03:13] <econdudeawesome> nit-wit: will it overwrite my entire drive?
[03:13] <Keegers> nemo: http://pastebin.com/KaJ395p6
[03:13] <nit-wit> xoepxx, install the flash aid add on in fireflox or the restricted-extras
[03:13] <CrunchybitsEatu> Xoepxx then just go to adobe and get the 32 bit version and install it
[03:13] <nit-wit> econdudeawesome, what is the MS install and is it a sstaright install disc.
[03:13] <Grean> I'm having issues with my Ethernet connection on Ubuntu 11.04.
[03:13] <CrunchybitsEatu> or you can get Chromium which has it already
[03:14] <econdudeawesome> nit-wit: windows 7, sstaright?
[03:14] <CrunchybitsEatu> Grean what issue explain
[03:14] <maum> hi
[03:14] <Centallith> Honestly, my only complaint with Unity (Just now realizing this) is the floating scrollbar. What a terrible idea that was.
[03:14] <zen933k> Centallith: I'm with you
[03:14] <bkfitz_> zen93k: I've tried it... and Mint too, but like how eaaaasssy UB is to get rolling, lots of online support... etc.  In the office I call it "linux for history majors"... of course I'm the idiot who ran a chmod -R / tonight by mistake :)
[03:14] <econdudeawesome> Centallith: its not that bad IMO
[03:15] <nemo> Keegers: hm. mind using pastebin.ubuntu.com ?
[03:15] <maum> hi my han 0 function key is not working any idea?
[03:15] <nemo> Keegers: the one you are using is making me fill out some bot detection and the morons apparently don't know how to persist session without cookies or something
[03:15] <Keegers> nemo: Try again... the page thought I was a bot
[03:15] <nemo> Keegers: I don't feel like whitelisting them
[03:15] <nit-wit> econdudeawesome, sorry for the spelling, yeah if you daon't prebuild that partition as a ntfs and put a boot flag so the disc recognizes it and install with a custom install you are likely to braek the partition table .
[03:15] <nemo> ok...
[03:15] <Centallith> If I had a nickel for every time I dragged something important off a directory into a desktop I'd be one rich user.
[03:15] <Keegers> nemo: OK
[03:15] <nemo> Keegers: but seriously, pastebin.ubuntu.com is quite nice
[03:15] <nemo> anyway. it loaded now.
[03:15]  * nemo reads
[03:15] <Grean> Eth0(my motherboard's ethernet port) can't connect to the internet...it keeps trying but never connects.
[03:15] <zen933k> bkfitz_: I suppose. I used Kubuntu for a while and never had any real issues getting setup. Plasma looks so much better than gnome
[03:16] <maum> hi my han 0 function key is not working, how can I do?
[03:16] <econdudeawesome> nit-wit: used gparted to make ntfs--how do I add flag, and what flag do I need to add?
[03:16] <CrunchybitsEatu> Grean you there or we lose on that nic
[03:17] <nit-wit> econdudeawesome, bootflag is a right click on the NTFS-manage flags click boot.
[03:17] <Grean> still here
[03:17] <Herbs> bkfitz_ that is so true the reason Ive been trying ubuntu is because its the best to work out of the box and because been using at work because they have ati gfx cards one thing I like about ubuntu although its quite alot different to the distros Im used to although 8.04 was good as it wasnt as customed
[03:17] <econdudeawesome> nit-wit: and thats it? Seems too easy! :-)
[03:17] <CrunchybitsEatu> Grean Your nic issue what up
[03:17] <Scunizi> How do I export contacts from Evolution?
[03:18] <bkfitz_> anyone installed from a usb drive... i don't have a blank dvd at home?
[03:18] <CrunchybitsEatu> is it dropping or not coming up or not holding IP
[03:18] <nit-wit> econdudeawesome, it is when you know what to do make d=sure you choose the custom install on the W7 disc and install to that partition.
[03:18] <econdudeawesome> bkfitz--all the time
[03:18] <nit-wit> *sure
[03:18] <bkfitz_> from iso?
[03:18] <econdudeawesome> thanks nit-wit
[03:18] <bkfitz_> does it have to be a blank usb?
[03:18] <nit-wit> econdudeawesome, your welcome.
[03:18] <Herbs> bkfitz_ Ive installed from a usb pen drive
[03:18] <econdudeawesome> bkfitz_: kind of. You use UNetBootin or Ubuntu's tool to move the ISO to the thumb drive. Makes it bootable also
[03:19] <nemo> Keegers: xinput list > ~/Desktop/xinput.txt
[03:19] <Grean> CrunchybitsEatu I can't get eth0 to connect to the internet most of the time. I connect it to my laptop which has is setup with Internet Connection Sharing.
[03:19] <nit-wit> econdudeawesome, that partition has to be a primary it is correct?
[03:19] <maum> hi my han 0 function key is not working, how can I do?
[03:19] <Herbs> +1 for unetbootin
[03:19] <CrunchybitsEatu> FYI USB drive need to support Bootable options
[03:19] <nemo> Keegers: can I see that one? xorg log just shows PS/2 Generic.
[03:19] <Centallith> You could always blank a disk out and then use it as a floppy. Crappy movies always work. (My install disk USED to be "Finding Nemo")
[03:19] <CrunchybitsEatu> not all usb drive can be set to boot form
[03:19] <CrunchybitsEatu> from*
[03:19] <econdudeawesome> nit-wit: I believe it already is? I only know "regular" or "logical" (for swap, right?)
[03:19] <Khisanth> heh ... no at least with unetbootin accidentally had PS3 update on the same drive as the ubuntu installer once :)
[03:20] <nemo> Keegers: might be nice to see full dmesg input at some point, next time you have a chance to reboot
[03:20] <Keegers> nemo: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/613556/
[03:20] <Keegers> ok then I'll reboot now
[03:20] <bkfitz_> "ubuntus tool"?
[03:20] <nit-wit> econdudeawesome, lets see a screen shot of gparted I suspect you have put that partition in a extended that wont work.
[03:20] <nemo> Keegers: yeah. shows up as generic there too
[03:20] <nemo> oh well
[03:21] <econdudeawesome> nit-wit: where do you want it
[03:21] <nit-wit> ! imagebin
[03:21] <dio525i> hi all! --- i'm trying to make gwibber to launch on system start so I don't have to click through to sign in....the information i can find online says go to edit>preferences>start on login but there is no such option in the preferences....can I just add a gwibber entry into my startup applications?
[03:21] <bkfitz_> i'ts a 32Gb corsair
[03:22] <Khisanth> bkfitz_: there is a "Create a USB startup disk" entry under System->Administration here I think it's named something else in more recent versions :)
[03:22] <nit-wit> econdudeawesome, just being sure here things get missed on the IIRC, you see the bots link, eh
[03:22] <bkfitz_> "startup disk creator" maybe
[03:23] <zaya> yeah something like that
[03:23] <bkfitz_> i'll just use unetbootin
[03:23] <zaya> bkfitz there is also an app you can download
[03:23] <econdudeawesome> nit-wit: http://imagebin.org/155354
[03:24] <nit-wit> econdudeawesome, you are good to go.
[03:24] <trism> dio525i: yes, you can just add it to startup applications (that's pretty much what the edit/preferences/start on login option does)
[03:24] <econdudeawesome> nit-wit: how would I know if it was extended versus primary?
[03:24] <econdudeawesome> nit-wit: another flag?
[03:25] <nit-wit> econdudeawesome, sda2 the blue box around the sda5 fat32 is a exteb=nded
 thats not extended
[03:25] <dio525i> trism: THANKS ---also a slightly more complicated question...i wanted to setup something to manage my bandwidth usage for transmission...does anyone have any suggestions?
[03:25] <nit-wit> *extended
[03:25] <maum> anybody can help me?
[03:25] <Centallith> Sure maum. With what?
[03:25] <maum> hi my han 0 function key is not working, how can I do?
[03:26] <maum> Hangul key
[03:26] <nit-wit> econdudeawesome, your flag is correct only windows actually needs the boot flag.
[03:26] <Centallith> Not a clue.
[03:26] <econdudeawesome> nit-wit: okay
[03:26] <CrunchybitsEatu> lol just finish reading a buddies email he installed mac4lin desktop on his ubuntu and totally fooled a few mac users with it.
[03:26] <dio525i> trism: also does gwibber-h start gwibber hidden to the indicator bar?
[03:26] <Keegers> nemo: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/613559/
 oops sorry it is but it doesent need to be as you can have 3 logical parts
[03:26] <econdudeawesome> Herbs: what do you mean
[03:26] <xxiao> no ubuntu image boots on my epia M10000....
[03:26] <xxiao> that's a 586 i think
[03:26] <xxiao> sucks
[03:26] <trism> dio525i: if you add: gwibber-service in startup applications it will
[03:26] <nemo> Keegers: you don't have a regular mouse plugged in, right? just the touchpad?
[03:27] <econdudeawesome> thanks yall!
[03:27] <bkfitz_> Alright... wish me luck.  Startup Disk Creator seemed to work.  Unity here i come.
[03:27] <Keegers> nemo: just the touchpad
[03:27] <maum> Centallith: Hangul key is not working in ubuntu
[03:27] <nit-wit> econdudeawesome, as Pres Lincoln so famously said "your free to go"
 I meant primary sorry im drunk

[03:28] <nemo> Keegers: what's your laptop model?
[03:28] <Centallith> I have no clue how to fix that.

[03:29] <aboudreault> hi, what software can I use to view JPEG location information?
[03:29] <Anyone3920> How do you reset and fix the flash player on ubuntu 10.04. I have a old computer that can play 720p video content around 20 - 25 fps. As soon as I upgraded ubuntu 10.04 to the lastest packages, the computer couldn't do 720p content. The fram rate droped to an average of <= 10. The flash player I've used was: flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound,  flashplugin-installer, and flashplugin-nonfree.
[03:29] <aboudreault> in the exif metadata
[03:29] <nemo> Keegers: might be failed detection of this touchpad - looks like the touchpad isn't going out of the way to identify itself as such, at least as dmesg suggests it
[03:29] <Grean> Khisanth 1( but it has a additional card that I lack linux drivers for.
[03:29] <nemo> Keegers: you can try manually configuring your Xorg.conf - kind of annoying, but...
[03:29] <Khisanth> but most people don't have a directly connection to the Internet ...
[03:29] <CrunchybitsEatu> Grean what brand is the card
[03:30] <nit-wit> maum, here is a older bug report with a fix. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/30848
[03:30] <nemo> Keegers: you're using natty right?
[03:30] <Khisanth> Grean: usually it has to go through a modem and that often involves other stuff like pppoe or dhcp depending on the ISP
[03:30] <Daditos> An error occurred:   Could not retrieve the required installation files    For more information, please see the log file: c:\users\alex\appdata\local\temp\wubi-10.04.1-rev190.log
[03:31] <Daditos> let's check those out
[03:31] <Keegers> nemo: No 10.10... natty crashed on me
[03:31] <Khisanth> Grean: not suggesting anything, just trying to clear up the situation
[03:31] <nemo> Keegers: mmm. detection might be improved in the newer kernel
[03:31] <Herbs> daditos just install it properly dont use that windows 8888
[03:31] <CrunchybitsEatu> Khis is Grean talking about a modem or a network card
[03:31] <Grean> No idea what eth0 is to be quite frank, but eth1 is supposed to be a Linksys card that shows up as something else.
[03:31] <nemo> Keegers: how did natty crash?  was it on logging in, or earlier?
[03:32] <Daditos> herbs, I'm not quite sure I follow
[03:32] <CrunchybitsEatu> ok that is network card
[03:32] <nemo> Keegers: anyway, guess you can always do manual config w/ xorg.conf.
[03:32] <jamiewan> Grean: what happened? did your net just stop
[03:32] <Herbs> daditos install using the cd instead of running wubi
[03:32] <CrunchybitsEatu> eth0 Grean is Ethernet adapter 0 zero is the first card in your setup
[03:32] <Keegers> nemo:  it crashed anytime I did not have my Ethernet cord plugged in
[03:32] <Grean> Regardless, I don't use eth1 in Ubuntu, just Windows. My PC is a dual boot.
[03:32] <Daditos> I don't have a CD Drive, herbs, and cant' boot it from a USB so I was installing it with Daemon Tools
[03:32] <Keegers> nemo: I tried updating my xorg.conf but it didnt work
[03:33] <Centallith> Natty crashed for you too? With mine it almost seemed as if it reverted to an earlier version of Ubuntu, and then eventually became unresponsive. It was a pain in the end because I needed to use my Beta install disk to re-install.
[03:33] <Herbs> daditos ah ok
[03:33] <nemo> Keegers: what does the entry look like that you added in your xorg.conf ?
[03:33] <nemo> Keegers: there is a sample in that thread I mentioned, where someone specified the touchpad driver for their mouse
[03:33] <Grean> According to the syslog, the DHCPv4 Request has timed out.
[03:34] <nemo> Keegers: the lil' snippet w/ InputDevice and synaptics - to explicitly load the driver, even though the mouse is just detected as PS/2
[03:34] <Herbs> grean set your ip up on your router and manually config your network settings
[03:35] <Daditos> An error occurred:   Could not retrieve the required installation files    For more information, please see the log file: c:\users\alex\appdata\local\temp\wubi-10.04.1-rev190.log  LOG:  http://paste.pound-python.org/show/4i7OAxrs5U7NCrYZJgFq/   Any ideas what it might be?  It failed twice.
[03:35] <CrunchybitsEatu> Grean run this command sudo cat /etc/network/interfaces
[03:35] <Daditos> Exception: Could not retrieve the required installation files
[03:35] <Keegers> nemo: I forget where is the xorg.conf?
[03:36] <nemo> Keegers: so how did you updated it then? :-p
[03:36] <nemo> Keegers: sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[03:36] <Keegers> nemo: I just forgot where it was
[03:36] <Keegers> nemo: I have been working on this problem for about 2 days
[03:37] <nemo> Daditos: according to that log, looks like it failed to download the installation CD
[03:37] <nemo> Daditos: repeatedly.
[03:37] <Grean> CrunchybitsEatu Comes back "auto lo   iface lo inet loopback"
[03:37] <jamiewan> Grean: what is the output of ifconfig in terminal
[03:37] <nemo> Daditos: btw, why 10.04 - that's kind of old. and why wubi?

[03:37] <Daditos> wubi because I dont have a CD Drive, I can't boot from USB Drive
[03:38] <nemo> Daditos: borrow an external USB cdrom drive from someone - often that works even if your HD doesn't support booting from a USB flash drive
[03:38] <nemo> Daditos: although you might just need to enable flash boot in bios - sometimes it is turned off. and maybe use F8 or something to select boot device
[03:38] <Keegers> nemo: I have to log off to apply the xorg changes correct?
[03:38] <nemo> Daditos: I would suggest manually downloading the iso yourself
[03:38] <nemo> Daditos: then pointing wubi at it
[03:39] <nemo> Daditos: since I'm not too familiar w/ wubi I don't know why it is failing to do the download itself
[03:39] <CrunchybitsEatu> Nemo: Some USB Drives can not be set to Boot its designed that way,, some will allow you to boot from

[03:39] <Grean> jamiewan then it also lists the loopback.
[03:39] <nemo> CrunchybitsEatu: I was just suggesting he try that is all. yes. some older machines can't boot from usb anything. no bios support
[03:39] <Daditos> ok, I thought about the CDrom drive but  it wasn't a "right now" solution, but it's a good solution
[03:40] <Herbs> grean dhcp isnt assinimg then set the ip on the router then manually setup your network config
[03:40] <CrunchybitsEatu> Very true
[03:40] <Daditos> The boot device. . I'll explore the bios further, but I didn't seem to find anything
[03:40] <nemo> CrunchybitsEatu: my server that I just setup. gpt a cheap ASUS home server and installed linux on it...
[03:40] <jamiewan> ok so eth0 is your interface, thats what you want. do what herbs said
[03:40] <c_smith> does anyone know how I can recover my IRC nick registered to my Email?
[03:40] <nemo> CrunchybitsEatu: it can boot off usb cdrom, but not usb flash
[03:40] <teage> where would python documentation html be after i have downloaded from package manager?
[03:40] <Keegers> nemo: no joy....
[03:40] <nemo> CrunchybitsEatu: btw, if you ever get the ASUS home server - it does run linux *and* it has a VGA connector hidden under the plastic in the back :D
[03:41] <Grean> Herbs From the middle PC in the ICS setup or the Router at the far end?
[03:41] <nemo> Keegers: can I see your xorg log again?
[03:41] <nemo> Keegers: also, show me your xorg.conf
[03:41] <nemo> just to make sure it is trying correctly
[03:41] <Daditos> I'll look into downloading the iso and pointing it with wubi, what do you mean by pointing it?'
[03:41] <teage> where would python documentation html be after i have downloaded from package manager?
[03:41] <Herbs> grean login to the router via web interface
[03:41] <lsv> i have a little problem, any help is greatly appreciated
[03:41] <nemo> Daditos: I've never used wubi, but I understand in the wizard you can specify a location for the ISO
[03:42] <c_smith> Isv: what is the problem?
[03:42] <CrunchybitsEatu> Nemo Running Dell PE 1950s with XenServer and a Netapp FA740 love having access to Ewaste
[03:42] <nemo> Daditos: like, you can use mint or whatever. wubi doesn't really care (supposedly - haven't tried it)
[03:42] <jamiewan> ! ask | lsv
[03:42] <CrunchybitsEatu> brb
[03:42] <Keegers> nemo: xorg.conf http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/613563/
[03:42] <Daditos> ok, I'll check it out
[03:42] <nemo> Keegers: if that's the entire file, it is invalid
[03:42] <nemo> Keegers: you didn't close the section for input device
[03:43] <nemo> also is missing some options
[03:43] <nemo> soooo, hopefully you just didn't copy/paste it all
[03:43] <Keegers> nemo: Sorry its not
[03:43] <lsv> I downloaded a zip file that was broken into *.z0[1-6] and one *.zip file.  How can I unzip the file?
[03:43] <Grean> The whole network setup is PC set to defaults to Laptop set to network sharing to wireless network on router to web.
[03:44] <Keegers> nemo: xorg.conf http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/613564/
[03:44] <DasEi> lsv: just like a regular zip, start with first part
[03:44] <DasEi> !info unzip
[03:44] <Centallith> Unzipping a file is easy using 7zip. Download it in the Ubuntu software center.
[03:44] <nemo> lsv: huh. never seen that before personally... just wondering. if you do cat *.z0* > test.zip - does that work?
[03:44] <nemo> sounds like DasEi is familiar with it before
[03:44] <nemo> n/m.
[03:44] <nemo> thought only rar had those
[03:44] <DasEi> :)
[03:45] <Keegers> nemo: xorg.log http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/613565/
[03:45] <lsv> thats the problem the *.zip is not the header file of the zip archive
[03:45] <DasEi> lsv: as I'm lazy, also see :
[03:45] <DasEi> !info unp
[03:45] <Daditos> also, I'm an idiot, I had 2 isos 10.04 and 11.04 and was trying to install the former
[03:46] <Daditos> Anyway, it shouldn't have failed
[03:46] <nemo> Keegers: change "mouse1" to "mouse0" in your config
[03:46] <bogner> Are there no 64 bit factory ubuntu CDs? I can't find any in the canonical shop
[03:46] <nemo> Keegers: the xorg log seems to say that is where it is seeing the mouse
[03:46] <DasEi> lsv: once installed unp, only need the different packers, rest will be handled then
[03:46] <nemo> Keegers: guess you could try the combined input device too, but that could break things if you add an external mouse :)
[03:46] <jamiewan> Grean: i dunno maybe try sudo dhclient eth0
[03:47] <Keegers> nemo: OK brb
[03:47] <lsv> when I used the file command on the *.zip file it says that is a data file
[03:47] <Herbs> grean is there an option to add a device to your router?
[03:47] <lsv> but when I use the file command on *.z01 it says that is a .zip file
[03:48] <Bl4ckJ4gg> hi
[03:49] <Keegers> nemo: Nothing...
[03:49] <nemo> Keegers: ehm welll, let's see that log again
[03:49] <nit-wit> Bl4ckJ4gg, what's going on.
[03:49] <Grean> Herbs router is a WRT54G
[03:50] <nemo> wanna see if it at least tried to load the driver
[03:50] <lsv> Once before I did what nemo said but there were some warnings
[03:50] <Herbs> grean I aint a networks man so dont know what router that is sorry
[03:50] <nemo> lsv: maybe the .zip one needs to be first or something (or last)
[03:50] <Bl4ckJ4gg> haha parted  troubles thats whats going on here , :) and overthere?
[03:50] <Grean> Herbs it's a Linksys...ungodly common blue box.
[03:50] <nemo> lsv: like if you cat them all.  but. yeah. totally clueless as to this.  I just know how to do that w/ rar  unrar foo.rar
[03:50] <nemo> well. unrar x foo.rar
[03:51] <DGCJ> hi, anyone managed to fix the issue with the out of date flash plugin in chromium???
[03:51] <Grean> jamiewan it says it Sucessfully claimed IP Address <IP_ADDRESS>
[03:51] <Keegers> nemo: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/613566/
[03:51] <Herbs> grean ok so your logged into the interface? can you not see an option to add devices?
[03:51] <jamiewan> Grean: explain your setup again abit more and what machine are you on
[03:51] <nit-wit> Bl4ckJ4gg, hanging, everythings good. Is it a gparted problem?
[03:52] <nemo> Keegers: one last one to try please
[03:52] <nemo> Keegers: try changing mouse0 to event6
[03:52] <nemo> Keegers: as I read the log, that seems to be where it actually setup a mouse
[03:52] <Bl4ckJ4gg> no gparted just crashed , thats more what caused the problem , not really the problem itself ...
[03:52] <Grean> jamiewan I am typing this from my laptop which is connected over wireless. The PC with the issues is connected to this Laptop over ethernet.
[03:53] <Keegers> nemo: OK brb
[03:53] <nemo> right. on to figuring out my v4l2 prob
[03:53] <CrunchybitsEatu> This holds true to all spanned Zip files you find the .zip or .rar unzip it with gzip or unzip it will automatically follow the chain
[03:53] <Keegers> nemo: I am only logging off... should I be rebooting?
[03:53] <jamiewan> Grean:  try to other pc now after the ip was reclaimed
[03:53] <nit-wit> Bl4ckJ4gg, are you showing unallocated partition's, or a no boot?
[03:53] <nemo> Keegers: pretty sure logging off restarts X :)
[03:53] <Keegers> nemo: kk just making sure
[03:54] <lsv> nemo: what I did was find the header archive using the file command, then change the rest of the files to *.z02, *.z03 and so on, then cat all the files together into another .zip file
[03:54] <nemo> Keegers: I *think* gdm spawns an X session, and so does each login
[03:54] <nemo> lsv: lol. which file was the header in? :)
[03:54] <Bl4ckJ4gg> expaded a partition (half full with paq8 achrives) made it twice as big to copy both archive partitions on one disk (easier to backup), parted crashed half way some where
[03:54] <nemo> lsv: that's amusing.
[03:54] <Herbs> grean if its got an IP then all you need to do is setup the network settings on your box Im used to RedHat so whatever the equivalent of system-config-network is just set the ip assigned and the gateway as your router ip and dns as the same
[03:55] <jamiewan> yep from the other machine tho
[03:55] <Bl4ckJ4gg> i know everyting exept where the data ends on the disk and where it starts again , els i'd be running dd right now, and just cut the empty space out :P
[03:55] <lsv> nemo: the *.z01, but I thought it would be on the .zip, it is weird.
[03:55] <nemo> lsv: huh. so the cat should have worked then.
[03:55] <nemo> lsv: since it should have added 'em to commandline in that order, w/ 01 first
[03:56] <nemo> oh well. at least you got it working
[03:56] <nemo> lsv: was this zip off a torrent or something?
[03:56] <nit-wit> Bl4ckJ4gg, are you familiar with testdisc
[03:56] <MGMT> is there a way to set terminator as default terminal
[03:56] <lsv> nemo: here what happend http://pastebin.com/GrcbN3TF it was a direct download broken into parts
[03:56] <Bl4ckJ4gg> jep :) that is what got me the start sector and end sector of the original partition
[03:57] <DasEi> nit-wit: testdisk
[03:57] <nit-wit> Bl4ckJ4gg, I wondered about that.
[03:57] <tensorpudding> MGMT: open the Preferred Applications, find the section for terminals, terminator probably is there
[03:58] <lsv> nemo: I remember that I did this some time ago, but I forgot how I did it, that time there were no errors
[03:58] <Bl4ckJ4gg> its not that the partiton is gone ... its just that the data is split in two and (yeah the system cant recognise the fs anymore )
[03:58] <MGMT> tensorpudding thanks!
[03:58] <tensorpudding> MGMT: if not, just select custom and put in terminator, i think
[03:59] <jamiewan> MGMT: you might have to set terminal preferences to custom command then add the terminator command to the entry box
[03:59] <nemo> nit-wit: hm. /dev/video0 appears to be the UVC camera - that could be why I'm getting a black screen on v4l2 playback
[03:59] <MGMT> tensorpudding no it worked, its all gravy now lol
[03:59] <Bl4ckJ4gg> nit-wit: if the partiton wasn't 200gb now id run cat and find the end of the datastream myself (was copieng in blocks of 8mb ... )
[04:00] <nemo> nit-wit: it is trying to write to a camera, which can only read :)
[04:00] <Keegers> nemo: still no luck
[04:00] <nemo> Keegers: um. can I see the log again?
[04:00] <nemo> Keegers: I still haven't seen "Synaptic" in the log
[04:00] <nemo> (when loading the mouse)
[04:01] <Grean> Herbs I can't seem to connect to my router...the <IP_ADDRESS> keeps routing out to my DNS...
[04:01] <bkfitz> I'm back... and already I hate Unity ;)
[04:01] <Bl4ckJ4gg> think the main problem is that the data on the disk are split  paq8 files, pretty hard to destinguish from /dev/urandom i guess ...
[04:01] <tripelb> bkfitz, I've heard that before. (Ub10.04 and :)
[04:01] <Keegers> nemo: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/613569/
[04:01] <Herbs> grean logging into your router does it have an option for dns sometimes theymuse you isp dns servers
[04:01] <bkfitz> but seriously... things seem slower in 11 and I'm not digging Unity right off the bat... just too much in my face and Mac'y
[04:02] <nit-wit> Bl4ckJ4gg, I have no idea where to go I have everything I have cloned for just these sort of occasions. So I haven't had to do any recovery.
[04:02] <tripelb> Is there a liveCD of the new system with gnome?
[04:02] <nemo> Keegers: odd. I see no acknowledgement of your xorg change!
[04:02] <bkfitz> I'll give it until tomorrow... then I'm back to Gnome unless it grows on me
[04:02] <tripelb> I would likesome help. I have a 2nd drive plugged in. I want to copy its contents to my main drive. It has ubuntu on it. The last time I tried there was something about permissions. What is the proper procedure, before I mess things up.
[04:02] <nemo> Keegers: eh. dunno. try a restart I guess :-/  otherwise, gotta say, I'm out of ideas
[04:02] <nemo> Keegers: root cause though seems to be mouse not getting ID'd as a touchpad correctly
[04:03] <Bl4ckJ4gg> jah stupid thing is that i did this to simplify making backups :)
[04:03] <jamiewan> tripelb: yep same :-)
[04:03] <Keegers> nemo: Nope... ok I'll try a reboot
[04:03] <Herbs> keegers reboot this is Linux not windows
[04:03] <tripelb> jamiewan, maybe I should try ubuntuforums then
[04:03] <KM0201> tripelb: are you wanting to copy the ENTIRE drive (like an exact clone) or what?
[04:03] <jamiewan> with natty cant you choose gnome classic at log in?
[04:04] <DasEi> jamiewan: you can
[04:05] <DasEi> jamiewan: under the shutdownbutton in unity , you can access the setting
[04:05] <Aborady> Anybody know about ubuntu 11.4  new Blank screen issue ??
[04:05] <tripelb> KM0201, really I want to put the data on my new huge hard drive and off the ancient 10G drive it is on. ditto for a 40G. ditto for a windows 120G. BUT-copying the entire drive would be ok just not trying to duplicate the useraccounts. I'm getting all my ducks in a row. After this, the backup DVD's I have. Arg then the work begins.
[04:05] <jamiewan> DasEi: sorry dude wasn't for me, i'm on lucid
[04:05] <yeastwars> I've been having python problems for the past [indeterminate amount of time]. "ipython" fails with "ImportError: No module named testing", and "import scipy" fails with "ImportError: No module named multiarray". Halp?
[04:05] <jamiewan> screw unity
[04:05] <DasEi> !classic | jamiewan
[04:05] <ActionParsnip> Aborady: try the boot option: nomodeset if you are getting black screen at boot
[04:06] <ActionParsnip> Aborady: for the same issue with nvidia chip, use the boot option: nouveau.blacklist=1
[04:06] <tripelb> thanks DasEi that answers one of my questions. . . re having a liveCD with gnome instead of unity.
[04:06] <jamiewan> i was thinking of trying natty but after all the bad press i wont bother i dont think
[04:06] <DasEi> jamiewan: anyway, gnome is still there, and , on a non-productive vm, gnome 3 behaves fine so far in natty
[04:06] <KM0201> tripelb: clonezilla might do what you want it to.
[04:06] <Herbs> aborady no but suspect its something with the new desktop mstart single user mode from grum and start gnome and then startx if it dont work from single userr from grub modify the default boot record using e
[04:07] <ActionParsnip> jamiewan: you aren't forced to use unity in Natty, it can be just like lucid
[04:07] <jamiewan> yeah i know
[04:07] <Aborady> i get the blank screen after login , i see nothing but the violet background , no panels , mo icons , no mouse clicks
[04:07] <Herbs> and type init=/bin/bash at the end of the image beeing booted vmlinuz
[04:08] <Aborady> gnome is the same
[04:09] <Aborady> i tried to edit xorg.conf i commented out glx load
[04:09] <jamiewan> just seems that i get to a situation where everything works, all peripherals the lot, then along comes another distro, and the mind is always in flux with options
[04:09] <Bl4ckJ4gg> nit-wit: It's not really that bad i still have the original files no work has gone lost. but damn i'll try anyting before i'm gonne start paq-archiving 2 years work (or 40GB in Paq8px, you can imagine how long it takes )
[04:09] <ActionParsnip> Aborady: log in to gnome classic, then get updated. If you need proprietary drivers then get them installed there
[04:09] <Aborady> dnome classic also not work
[04:09] <Keegers> nemo: no joy... thanks for the help
[04:09] <Herbs> aborady have you tried to use it from proper single user mode though you dont need to login then
[04:09] <ActionParsnip> jamiewan: there are thousands of distros. Check distrowatch
[04:10] <Aborady> ctrl+alt+f2 is working i did all updats
[04:10] <ActionParsnip> Aborady: what video chip do you use?
[04:10] <Aborady> and apt-get install nvidia-current
[04:10] <Aborady> Nvidia gforce
[04:10] <Aborady> Nvidia gforce 7050
[04:11] <ActionParsnip> Aborady: if you run:  sudo lshw -C display    do you see the nvidia driver in use (look for 'driver=')
[04:11] <Aborady> yes
[04:11] <Herbs> aborady try what I said
[04:12] <Herbs> ubuntu noobs :)
[04:12] <jamiewan> ActionParsnip: yes i'm sure, i was a windblows man up till hardy, so i'm only new but will never go back, gaming is the only vice whice forces me to use it sometimes lol
[04:12] <Bl4ckJ4gg> nit-wit: do you know (or anyone else who reads it ) a tool, script ,command  that sort of virualizes your hd like the defragment tool did in win95
[04:12] <ActionParsnip> Aborady: try adding this text to ~/.config/autostart/compiz.desktop      http://paste.ubuntu.com/613574/
[04:13] <Herbs> actioparsnip wtf is compiz going to have to do with it?
[04:13] <Vustom> What does this do? http://paste.ubuntu.com/613575/ (When I boot this OS that I'm trying to install, theres 2 options, I need to swap the 2 options so the second option is first by default, any ideas?
[04:13] <ActionParsnip> jamiewan: depends what games you play ;) I game happily in Linux when I want to
[04:13] <nit-wit> Bl4ckJ4gg, I don't, I have j=hardly used MS.;)
[04:13] <Aborady> herbs: how can i user mode from grub ?
[04:13] <Aborady> herbs : i cant do that
[04:14] <jamiewan> ActionParsnip: not battlefield3 and the like tho i'm sure
[04:14] <Herbs> aborady press e when grub loads that will let you modify the boot comand.....
