[16:00] <Battlecat> okay
[16:02] <fireprint> hey guys. im having trouble with my ssh. i have tried both fromputty and terminal. It keeps giving me lagspikes. Im running ubuntu on both computers. Any thoughts or anything i should be searching for? (ping result is a steady 2ms average)
[16:02] <silv3r_m00n1> for unicode and nonenglish languages , if there are multiple font files , which one does the browser choose to display those characters ?
[16:03] <fireprint> the lagspikes being that i can type semi decent.. when it sudden comes to a halt for some sec's.. then return, semi spike and then goes back to normal.
[16:03] <theadmin> silv3r_m00n1: Whatever the webpage developers tell it to, OR whatever is in your settings
[16:04] <allowoverride> where does ufw store its save config?
[16:04] <silv3r_m00n1> theadmin: can it be determined ?
[16:05] <allowoverride> saved*
[16:05] <silv3r_m00n1> theadmin: for this particular language there are 15 ttf files , I just need to know which ttf file is in effect
[16:05] <allowoverride> ufw is a helper for iptables, correct?
[16:05] <c-beams> I'm trying to create an image fo a 1TB drive. dd started off fast at 32M/s but has gotten progressively slower and is now at 1M/s. what do I do?
[16:05] <theadmin> silv3r_m00n1: Check your browser's settings, and page's code
[16:06] <silv3r_m00n1> theadmin: page is utf-8 with font family as arial , and browser setting has nothing very specific
[16:06] <Maestr0> hi there
[16:06] <rurufufuss> anyone know a text editor that can search&replace from many open documents at once?
[16:07] <Maestr0> I have a Grub2 question, I've resized some partitions and now my computer boots with an error "grub rescue > error: no such partition"
[16:07] <c-beams> anyone?
[16:07] <Maestr0> I've figured out how to boot despite that
[16:07] <Maestr0> but for some reason it won't save the new settings
[16:07] <Maestr0> the root is hd0,msdos7 (which is now wrong) and should be hd0,msdos5
[16:07] <Maestr0> thoughts?

[16:13] <c-beams> anyone?
[16:13] <c-beams> I'm trying to create an image fo a 1TB drive. dd started off fast at 32M/s but has gotten progressively slower and is now at 1M/s. what do I do?

[16:13] <andrea_> italia
[16:13] <ikonia> michael_mbp: on macos or ubuntu ?
[16:13] <kv10t> I really needs some help. stopping a back in time job.
[16:13] <theadmin> michael_mbp: Why are you asking this in #ubuntu ? We don't support OS X
[16:14] <michael_mbp> well thought I'd ask here cause I only just ready about the whole quickly/pyGTK launch
[16:14] <michael_mbp> and OS X does run BSD...
[16:14] <michael_mbp> anyways thanks ...
[16:14] <theadmin> michael_mbp: Ubuntu is not even closely BSD-related...
[16:14] <ikonia> michael_mbp: try #macosx
[16:14] <theadmin> ikonia: You sure it's with one # ? I doubt the channel is official
[16:14] <michael_mbp> theadmin: didn't say it was :)
[16:15] <clouder> i installed several distributions on am usb stick, every distri started, except ubuntu
[16:15] <ikonia> probably ##
[16:15] <clouder> *a
[16:15] <c-beams> hello?
[16:15] <michael_mbp> ok so hardware for ubuntu 11 and unity ui
[16:15] <michael_mbp> do the specs need to be rather fancy to get it all running?
[16:15] <ikonia> michael_mbp: check out ubuntu.com for system specs
[16:15] <michael_mbp> kk
[16:16] <theadmin> michael_mbp: Not really, you should be fine with 512 meters of RAM, 5GB of disk space and, let's see... 1ghz processor?
[16:16] <michael_mbp> meters of RAM ...heh :p
[16:16] <theadmin> michael_mbp: Meters, megabytes... Same difference
[16:16] <dgandhi> Is there a package with a seeded pseudo-random-number generator that can output repeatable binary data? I need to generate TB of binary data that I can recreate at will from a small amount of config info.
[16:16] <macal> Hi, someone who knows how to install Skype on Xubuntu 10.04?
[16:17] <theadmin> macal: From skype.com
[16:17] <Captain_Harlock> is the kdbg currently supported at the latest ubuntu?
[16:17] <c-beams> I'm trying to create an image fo a 1TB drive. dd started off fast at 32M/s but has gotten progressively slower and is now at 1M/s. what do I do?
[16:17] <michael_mbp> never head that version....
[16:17] <savid> I just installed gnome3 from the gnome3 ppa.  The theme is awful looking (orange boxy title bar, terrible fonts),   how can I get it to look like the screenshots on gnome3.org?
[16:17] <michael_mbp> *heard
[16:17] <macal> Thank you Theadmin, I'll try it
[16:18] <savid> I can't find "theme" anywhere in activities...
[16:18] <clouder> could anybody help me with my live usb stick? i spent several hours, but it doesnt work - debian und crunchbang live system worked - only ubuntu doesnt
[16:18] <theadmin> savid: GNOME 3? Doesn't support themes without weird manipulations.
[16:18] <ikonia> c-beams: wait for it to finish
[16:19] <c-beams> ikonia, why is it getting slower and slower though?
[16:19] <c-beams> ikonia, if it contiunes getting slower it will never finish
[16:19] <ikonia> c-beams: is it continuing to get slower ?
[16:20] <clouder> noone can help me?
[16:20] <c-beams> yes
[16:20] <savid> theadmin,  ok, then why does mine look really crappy??
[16:20] <dina_> hello
[16:20] <dina_> I am looking for help to install vodafone mobile broadband on ubuntu
[16:21] <theadmin> savid: We don't really support GNOME 3 here...
[16:21] <llutz> clouder: how did you create the stick from iso?
[16:21] <andrea_> !list
[16:21] <theadmin> !pm | clouder
[16:22] <jeremy77> hi I am trying to format a drive using disk utility on ubuntu 11.04. I unmount drive and delete all partitions and do guided partition ext 4 with the take ownership box checked but after its done and I mount drive it tells me I dont have permissions of that drive or anything I put on it. can anyone explain what I am doing wrong ?
[16:22] <clouder> with shell command "dd", mac drive recovery and windows usb creater
[16:22] <theadmin> clouder: Ubuntu can't just be dd'd
[16:22] <llutz> clouder: dd doesn't work with ubuntu-iso (yet)
[16:22] <theadmin> clouder: You need to use a tool like unetbootin
[16:22] <dina_> installing a mobile broadband on ubuntu
[16:22] <clouder> so why is dd the way of the user guide?
[16:22] <llutz> seem to be changed with oneiric, they discovered hybrid-isos...
[16:22] <os1ris> Can anyone help me? I have an ATI graphics card. Can't seem to get 3d effects to work or compiz.. Can anyone assist?
[16:23] <clouder> theadmin: unetbootin didn't work too
[16:23] <theadmin> clouder: Well, bad ISO then?
[16:23] <Battlecat> Are there any Ubuntu distros with GNOME 3 live to try?
[16:23] <___MAX> http://developer.ubuntu.com/2011/09/announcing-the-ubuntu-app-developer-site/
[16:23] <theadmin> Battlecat: GNOME 3 is default in Ubuntu 11.10, however, we do not support it yet.
[16:24] <Battlecat> ahh okay thank you.
[16:24] <clouder> theadmin: offical ubuntu-11.04-desktop-amd64.iso and ubuntu-11.04-1.04-desktop-amd64.iso
[16:25] <theadmin> clouder: I'm not sure if unetbootin does work with 64-bit images or not... Well, if you're running Windows, you can try LiLi, too
[16:25] <Battlecat> I am on a MAC at the moment running Virtual Box to test Ubuntu out while I waste time at work. What version of Ubuntu should I grab to try out GNOME 3?
[16:25] <theadmin> Battlecat: 11.10 beta. But don't expect support here, head to #ubuntu+1 instead
[16:26] <Battlecat> okay but I do not see the beta offered on the ubuntu dl site.
[16:26] <dina_> I need help installing vodafone mobile broadband on ubuntu 11.04
[16:26] <theadmin> Battlecat: Support, and download links, in #ubuntu+1
[16:26] <Battlecat> TY!
[16:27] <theadmin> Battlecat: Don't blame me if your system crashes, because it may, it IS a unstable release.
[16:27] <m477> how to enable tab-completion in bash?
[16:28] <Battlecat> theadmin I am trying it out in a virtual box. Nothing bad should happen should it?
[16:28] <theadmin> Battlecat: Yeah, should be good enough
[16:28] <theadmin> m477: Should be enabled by default...
[16:29] <m477> theadmin: i mean completion based on history
[16:29] <theadmin> Battlecat: You'll need to install guest additions, though, or else you won't be able to work with GNOME3 -- 3D acceleration needed and such
[16:29] <Battlecat> Ive got one of those macs with 4  of the ntel Core i3 processors.
[16:29] <theadmin> m477: ?
[16:30] <m477> theadmin: for example ctrl+r doesnt search anything
[16:30] <Battlecat> and 8 gig of ram and a ATI Radeon HD 4670
[16:30] <Battlecat> so I hope it would work . Hope being the word.
[16:31] <Mac_Weber> I'm on 10.04 LTS, but I want to install the latest git. How to do it using apt-get or aptitude?
[16:32] <Battlecat> bbl
[16:32] <theadmin> Mac_Weber: https://launchpad.net/~git-core/+archive/ppa
[16:33] <Onryo> Seems Ubuntu is a bit different then other *nix systems in not enabling a root account by default? How do I check to see if superuser (su) enabled?
[16:33] <theadmin> Onryo: It's not by default
[16:33] <Onryo> I try su
[16:33] <theadmin> Onryo: Use sudo
[16:33] <llutz> !sudo | Onryo
[16:33] <Mac_Weber> theadmin thanks
[16:34] <WebETGUser454> Hi guys, quick question about buntu
[16:35] <kolix> ubuntu 10.04 *
[16:35] <kolix> can i make my desktop look like this? - http://blog.brixandersen.dk/wp-content/uploads/conky.png
[16:35] <kolix> with conky, etc
[16:35] <kolix> what type of window manager do i need
[16:35] <Delphious> looks like fluxbox to me
[16:35] <popey> kolix: i love that konky look too :D
[16:36] <kolix> so if install fluxbox it will remove the current look of the ugly ubuntu defualt desktop?
[16:36] <pants_> that looks like fluxbox but the conky is a bit distracting
[16:36] <kolix> popey, yeah it's sweet
[16:36] <clouder> theadmin: it worked - thanks a lot
[16:36] <kolix> do i need GNOME or KDE for fluxbox?
[16:37] <paean_> does the perlre command exist for natty?  I get perlre: command not found.
[16:37] <llutz> kolix: just fluxbox
[16:37] <thesheff17> ;;bc,stats
[16:37] <kolix> sudo apt-get fluxbox?
[16:37] <popey> thesheff17: haha, wrong channel :D
[16:37] <thesheff17> haha sorry
[16:37] <llutz> kolix: man apt-get  (install fluxbox)
[16:38] <kolix> llutz, does fluxbox give me power to edit my terminal settings too?
[16:38] <kolix> i.e. have transparent background?
[16:38] <Onryo> theadmin, things is that when I set up my RAID I used the alt distro. Manuely partitioned the drives in 1+0 raid mdadm. The UI front end was later built (Gnome) as I wanted it. More to the point. How do I check if there is a superuser account. I see /root home if I sudo.
[16:38] <llutz> kolix: idk
[16:39] <theadmin> Onryo: There is one, it's just it has no password set
[16:39] <theadmin> Onryo: Do you *really* need it? Just run the command I've PMed to you, then
[16:39] <TheLegace> hi guys, im migrating from fedora, and this environment path is confusing me
[16:39] <TheLegace> im trying to set it in my profile
[16:39] <TheLegace> which file do i modify?
[16:40] <theadmin> TheLegace: $PATH?
[16:40] <theadmin> TheLegace: .bashrc is probably the best place
[16:40] <Onryo> theadmin no but I need to make ultra sure it is not on.
[16:40] <TheLegace> now i see a whole buncha if statements
[16:40] <theadmin> Onryo: By default, it is not.
[16:41] <TheLegace> to do an export PATH_VAR= /path
[16:41] <TheLegace> do i just write it in the file?
[16:41] <theadmin> TheLegace: export PATH=/home/you/bin:$PATH # Something like this
[16:42] <TheLegace> theadmin, PATH is not in the bashrc file
[16:42] <Seven_Six_Two> I tried to install beta2 to see if I could fix my pulseaudio(won't start) and it isn't showing my raid devices! It asks if I'd like to enable them, just before the partitioner, but they aren't listed with my partitions.
[16:42] <theadmin> TheLegace: So? It just reads the default values set wherever. You can just add that line and be fine
[16:42] <TheLegace> or do i just do it on command line
[16:42] <TheLegace> okie thats good
[16:43] <theadmin> Seven_Six_Two: 11.10 support is in #ubuntu+1
[16:43] <symaxian> Why wouldnt an enviroment variable set in .profile be available?
[16:43] <TheLegace> thanks
[16:43] <Onryo> theadmin I did not do anything by default the way I installed this system. The Kernel is from kernel.org etc .... Just want to know how to check once again.
[16:44] <theadmin> Onryo: You shouldn't bother, but you can lock the account by doing "sudo usermod -L root"
[16:44] <theadmin> Onryo: Even though that IS just being paranoid
[16:45] <clouder> ok, the boot loader of the usb stick is working, but after selecting "installung ubuntu" i get a black screen :/
[16:46] <vacho> can someone please help me? I want to install ODBC drivers for ORACLE
[16:46] <TheLegace> if im installing kubuntu should i choose gdm or kdm?
[16:46] <buhman> how can I tell apt to change architecutures and reinstall packages appropriately?
[16:47] <buhman> surely a 64-bit installation can bootstrap a 32-bit and then do some kexec sorcery and go from there right?
[16:48] <urlin2u> clouder, tap the shift key when you boot the stick hit f6 at the gui for choice of try without instal, install, check disc..ect, choose nomodeset for a low graphic boot.
[16:49] <urlin2u> TheLegace, where is that choice?
[16:49] <TheLegace> when i do sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[16:49] <urlin2u> TheLegace, what is installed now?
[16:49] <urlin2u> what desktop
[16:50] <___MAX> vacho: wat is ur oracle version
[16:51] <TheLegace> i dont understand what you mean
[16:51] <TheLegace> i just typed that command
[16:51] <TheLegace> and its installing now
[16:52] <clouder> urlin2u: with every option i get a black screen
[16:52] <urlin2u> TheLegace, if your running a apt-get install of kubuntu you must have a install, what is that desktop already installed, or are you using a minimal install, details man is the point here. :D
[16:52] <TheLegace> it was gnome
[16:52] <TheLegace> thats installed
[16:53] <TheLegace> i just install 11.04 dvd
[16:53] <TheLegace> and then i want kde now
[16:53] <TheLegace> so im just installing it
[16:53] <traph> hi everyone
[16:53] <pants_> anyone have any experience with wacom tablets
[16:54] <traph> how can I reset the keyboard configuration, composite key and such...
[16:54] <glioros> what is the server url ffmpeg converts videos ?
[16:54] <urlin2u> TheLegace, not sure really, gdm is gnome, kdm is kubuntu, lets get others help I think.
[16:54] <pants_> i'm not sure if me resetting my resolution higher than neccesary or what did it, but the wacom libraries made me unable to sign into ubuntu
[16:54] <traph> after a fresh install, going through the installer, I have set the alt keys and I think that's why I cannot use the left alt key for anything under terminal or X11
[16:55] <pants_> or maybe it was because i tried installing gnome-shell and gnome3 and it didn't mesh well
[16:55] <urlin2u> clouder, do you have another computer to test the stick on, if you tap the shift at powering on you should get a gui right away, very quick.
[16:55] <TheLegace> urlin2u, its just a display manager
[16:55] <TheLegace> i think it has to do with the login screen you want
[16:56] <TheLegace> ya thats it
[16:56] <urlin2u> TheLegace, I realize that, I have just never used a dvd install.
[16:56] <glioros> what is the server url ffmpeg converts videos ?
[16:56] <TheLegace> urlin2u, it works the same either way
[16:56] <obx> does that one guy who's the be all on the forums for wacoms come in here?
[16:56] <urlin2u> TheLegace, I think your right on the login
[16:57] <slipttees> Hi all, activated the magnifying glass here and I can only see half the screen
[16:57] <obx> also, can you get rid of the little handles on scrollbars in ubuntu 11.04? they are kind of annoying
[16:57] <slipttees> There is some shortcut to turn off the magnifying glass
[16:57] <slipttees> ?
[16:58] <urlin2u> slipttees, have you logged out and back in to see if this gets fixed?
[16:58] <slipttees> urlin2u, no
[16:58] <Ellipsis753> hey, does anyone know of a widget thing for the ubuntu bar that replaces the need for the blue bar at the top of your program. Hopefully one with - [] X and move window.
[16:58] <qin> Could someone tell me how to get gmail (or any) labels work in mutt?
[16:58] <urlin2u> slipttees, I would try that, never used it there must be a wiki on it.
[16:59] <clouder> urlin2u: ok, other pc worked
[16:59] <Chat7112> hey
[16:59] <slipttees> urlin2u, :( .... my brother make this shit here :(
[16:59] <obx> anyone at all?
[16:59] <ikonia> slipttees: control the language please.
[17:00] <Calinou> Ellipsis753: you speak of a different theme?
[17:00] <obx> the little handles are getting kind of annoying and they don't work right with my touchpad
[17:00] <Calinou> try "Clearlooks"
[17:00] <slipttees> ikonia, sorry.
[17:00] <clouder> urlin2u: but shift doesnt show a gui
[17:00] <slipttees> Can anyone help me disable the magnifier in GDM?
[17:00] <urlin2u> clouder, cool so the stick appears to be good, when you tap the shift you want to do it repeatedly kina quick ti catch that first gui, I have to go to school in a few minutes but this is the place for help.
[17:01] <urlin2u> s/kinda/to
[17:02] <cheese>  /nick timetravel
[17:02] <cheese> hum
[17:02] <Ellipsis753> calinou, sure I just don't like having decorations at the top of windows uses up space. That said I'd still like buttons at the top to close minimise or maximise or move a window.
[17:02] <slipttees> Can anyone help me disable the magnifier in GDM?
[17:02] <Ellipsis753> also I'm on clearlooks, it's nice
[17:02] <conntrack-> Does tcp/udp port randomization create more CPU load?
[17:03] <urlin2u> slipttees, this might help. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Accessibility
[17:03] <slipttees> urlin2u, u are god :D
[17:04] <clouder> @urlin2u doesnt change anything, starts grub on usb stick again with same issues
[17:04] <urlin2u> slipttees, hardly, I'm agnostic, but we all work together for the good of all, lol
[17:04] <slipttees> urlin2u, :)
[17:04] <sarkis> hey all, so ubuntu by default doesn't load up .bash_profile everytime i start up a new gnome-terminal
[17:05] <alkafoo> urlin2u: you're unsure of the existence of yourself =P
[17:05] <sarkis> anyway to fix this?
[17:05] <conntrack-> Say on a webserver
[17:05] <neo_> cdv
[17:05] <alkafoo> sarkis: sure you're using bash?
[17:05] <urlin2u> alkafoo, the importance of.
[17:05] <sarkis> alkafoo: ya im reading bash_profile is only read once per login
[17:05] <alkafoo> sarkis: source ~/.bash_profile
[17:06] <Guest9968> hi all, please i did install open-cobol in my unbuntu 11.04 but i dont know where is the application. any help please?
[17:06] <urlin2u> clouder, do you have a linux install already there or was there on the HD?
[17:06] <llutz> sarkis: .bash_profile is only read when bash is invoked as login-shell
[17:06] <alkafoo> Guest9968: dpkg -L open-cobol | grep bin
[17:06] <obx> Guys, is there any way to get rid of this? http://i.imgur.com/iI6Q9.png
[17:06] <Guest9968> thx
[17:06] <nieros> Hello all- I'm running 11.04 and trying to use a USB to serial adapter- if I do a lsusb I see a ttyS0 and a ttyUSB0, so I know it's recognizing the unit. However if I try and run putty with it, it gets denied (I've tried both) Any assistance is appreciated.
[17:07] <Ellipsis753> I think I'm looking at this wrong, is there a terminal command to move the current window? (or one to close, minimise or maximise it)
[17:07] <alkafoo> obx: floating scrollbars, yes
[17:07] <obx> they are kind of annoying tbh
[17:07] <alkafoo> obx: http://mikebeach.org/2011/05/disable-the-overlay-scrollbars-in-ubuntu-natty/ maybe
[17:07] <Guest9968> thx
[17:07] <alkafoo> I can see how they would be
[17:07] <sarkis> llutz: interesting.. byobu for some reason appended . $(which byobu-launch) at the end of .bash_profile
[17:07] <sarkis> that should go in .bashrc instead then
[17:07] <musharraf> hi to all
[17:08] <obx> it wouldn't be so bad but my touchpad is so sensitive that it makes scrolling a huge pain
[17:08] <alkafoo> Ellipsis753: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KeyboardShortcuts
[17:08] <musharraf> i just now install ubuntu 10.04
[17:08] <musharraf> its so nice!
[17:08] <alkafoo> obx: can probably configure that, but =)
[17:08] <alkafoo> musharraf: +)
[17:09] <easylancer> How can I find out what is the default version of python on ubuntu 10?
[17:09] <obx> yeah i don't remember how to configure my synaptic touchpad and honestly i remember it being a huge pain
[17:09] <musharraf> im so happy to install it.
[17:09] <SIFTU> easylancer: python -V
[17:10] <obx> i think i got it to where it doesn't randomly do things when i type, but i'm not sure
[17:10] <alkafoo> obx: I guess if it only bothers you when combined with this...
[17:10] <nieros> I feel like a damn usb to serial port should just work :|
[17:10] <easylancer> SIFTU, I accidentally installed another version of python and the original seem to be corrupted, is there a way to rollback?
[17:10] <alkafoo> obx: you should be able to setup a shortcut for disabling it for long typing sessions
[17:10] <obx> i think that's what i did iirc
[17:10] <alkafoo> easylancer: accidentally how?
[17:11] <obx> this is my third reinstall of ubuntu in a couple days because i half hazardly just start doing things
[17:11] <skrite> nieros, what is the problem ( just got here) serial to usb adapter?
[17:11] <easylancer> I was trying to install MySQL-python and it seemed to install a version of python with it
[17:11] <SIFTU> easylancer: what version are you running?
[17:11] <easylancer> commands like easy_install and pip which were working before are now missing
[17:12] <easylancer> SIFTU, python 2.7.1+
[17:12] <zaxonspox> hello, did sbdy succeded instaling BCM4312 wifi card?
[17:12] <obx> One more question, does evolution have a minimize to somewhere else and not in the lower bar option?
[17:12] <SIFTU> easylancer: nothin wrong with that version.. what version do you need
[17:13] <nieros> skrite: I can grep it out of dmesg, and see it with lsusb: but (ttys0/ttyusb0) both don't work when I try and use a console emulator.
[17:13] <nieros> which are the two interfaces showing up
[17:13] <easylancer> SIFTU, I just need easy_install working again really
[17:13] <tyoc213_> how I can do for ls -R to print also the full path (because Im doing a grep and I cant see the dirs)
[17:13] <obx> zaxon, shouldn't that install with restricted hardware? i've got a broadcom wifi card and it showed up right away
[17:13] <Ellipsis753> alkafoo, thank you but I need terminal commands rather than keyboard shortcuts for closing windows etc.
[17:13] <obx> i could be mistaken of course
[17:14] <zaxonspox> obx, i did installed it, but: the card is seeing WIFI but wont connect to ANY
[17:14] <skrite> nieros, on my server, i have to give ownership to my user each time i reboot or i cannot use them in my software
[17:14] <easylancer> SIFTU, how do I change the default version of python also, I am sure the version that came with Ubuntu 10 was python 2.6
[17:14] <easylancer> I would like to revert back to that
[17:14] <SIFTU> easylancer: hard to tell without more specifics, but python looks fine if you are running 2.7, maybe you need to install some modules
[17:14] <nieros> hrm
[17:15] <obx> hmm.
[17:15] <SIFTU> easylancer: do you have python2.6 in /usr/bin
[17:15] <alkafoo> Ellipsis753: oh?  Why's that?
[17:15] <easylancer> SIFTU, yes I do
[17:17] <SIFTU> easylancer: and ls -la /usr/bin/python is a sym link to pythion2.7
[17:17] <SIFTU> easylancer: ?
[17:17] <Ellipsis753> alkafoo, I'd like to have buttons on the top bar to do those things, I can't think of another way and it's not just me that uses the computer, I'd like to have a way to do those things without using the keyboard. It's not just me that uses the computer and I know at least one of the other uses downright refuses to use keyboard commands.
[17:17] <zaxonspox> obx, any idea? how to diagnose whats wrong?
[17:17] <hyper_ch> how do you file a bug at launchpad?
[17:17] <easylancer> SIFTU, yes thats correct
[17:17] <SIFTU> easylancer: so you can just change that symlink
[17:17] <Chheapshot> If i enable ufw don't i have to reboot before it starts?
[17:17] <easylancer> SIFTU, I will try that
[17:17] <alkafoo> Ellipsis753: buttons... there should already be buttons at the top of each window for that
[17:18] <obx> No, I would see if you can get wired. See if the hardware is activated and check the forums. I know  every now and again my wireless card drivers will install WITH the system, and others I have to be connected via ethernet to do it.
[17:19] <Ellipsis753> alkafoo, I'd like buttons on the bar at the top, I've removed the standard bar for that. Are you deliberately being silly here?
[17:20] <xtremelybored> does ubuntu support radeon hd 6500?
[17:20] <zaxonspox> obx, so you didnt use ndiswrapper, or CLI with b43-installer or fwcutter?
[17:22] <clouder> i have an intel i3 with intel grafic chipset - when i try to start the live stick i get the bootloader (not the purpel GUI) and when i choose an option the screen turns black and nothing happens
[17:22] <alkafoo> Ellipsis753: nope, I just don't read minds on Wednesday
[17:22] <obx> no, mine just installed with restricted hardware. is this a dell computer? i know i've had problems and had to use ndiswrapper in the past
[17:23] <Kartagis> !lamp
[17:23] <zaxonspox> obx, no its Lenovo G550, with ndiswrapper it looks like its installed, but saw no WIFIs, with b43 module its seeing WIFIs but refuse to connect to ANY
[17:23] <systemclient> I am trying to get my university VPN working. I installed vpnc and the network manager thing, imported the .prf file and the connect fails immideatly "because there is no valid PSK"
[17:23] <systemclient> what is going on there?
[17:24] <tiago> when doing dd to copy my system to an external HD, does it also copy the empty space??
[17:25] <alkafoo> tiago: yup
[17:25] <slipttees> Can anyone help me disable the magnifier in GDM?
[17:25] <Ellipsis753> alkafoo, ok, sorry, Just that I'd already explained it in further detail further up and the pointing out that windows had a X in the top right thing made me wonder. Thanks anyway.
[17:25] <alkafoo> tiago: not much point dd'ing an open source OS
[17:25] <SIFTU> tiago: yes it is a block level copy (exact)
[17:25] <tiago> alkafoo: is this copying faster though?,
[17:25] <alkafoo> tiago: it's much more useful for Windows, which by default attempts to bind itself to the hardware in odd ways
[17:25] <alkafoo> Ellipsis753: right
[17:25] <tiago> and would making an image of system overcome this problem?
[17:26] <alkafoo> Ellipsis753: short of some built-in cute way, you can probably manage it with a script and wmctrl or devilspie
[17:26] <obx> i really wish i could be more help man, i would definitely go to the forums and see if there's anything you can conjure up there.
[17:27] <Ellipsis753> ok thank you.
[17:27] <slipttees> Can anyone help me disable the magnifier in login screen?
[17:29] <Chheapshot> is it possible to make a guest account without a password. mainly for just web browsing
[17:29] <alkafoo> Ellipsis753: xprop can tell you the ACTIVE window, couple that with wmctrl
[17:29] <slipttees> Hi all, activated the magnifying glass here and I can only see half the screen
[17:29] <Chheapshot> Or what is the best and "safest" way to do it
[17:29] <slipttees> There is some shortcut to turn off the magnifying glass
[17:31] <zaxonspox> slipttees, Shift+WinKey+ScrollOut mayby?
[17:31] <slipttees> zaxonspox, GDM
[17:35] <tiago> how can i restore my system from an iso file ?? is it possible to say so in the reinstall ?
[17:35] <andrea_> ciao

[17:36] <clouder> i have an intel i3 with intel grafic chipset - when i try to start the live stick i get the bootloader (not the purpel GUI) and when i choose an option the screen turns black and nothing happens
[17:36] <honeybee> I just wired a SATA cable to a CD/DVD drive. I doesn't appear on the desktop. Is there a mount guru here :) ?
[17:37] <honeybee> I did a lsscsi giving: [6:0:0:0]    cd/dvd  Optiarc  DVD RW AD-7170S  1.00  /dev/sr0
[17:41] <organiks> hey all
[17:42] <honeybee> hi organiks
[17:42] <zaxonspox> honeybee, did you put a Media in the drive?
[17:42] <preetam> pls help me my webcam is not working in ubuntu 11.04. The cheese prog hangs whenevr I open the prog
[17:42] <honeybee> zaxonspox: There's a DVD in it
[17:43] <thauriswulfa> HELP:ubuntu hangs on dell when usb device is plugged
[17:44] <Escherial> hey, anyone happen to know why the unity launcher bar in 11.04 tends to get stuck under other applications?
[17:44] <Escherial> it most often happens with eclipse :\ incredibly frustrating
[17:44] <WilGil> hello, I am trying to install ubuntu desktop from the alternate install cd.  When I hit the select and install software part if i check ubuntu desktop i get an install failed message.  Anyone know why?
[17:44] <Escherial> actually, strangely, i can still click icons on it; it just doesn't visually appear
[17:45] <Escherial> WilGil: posting the message would probably help
[17:45] <WilGil> one sec
[17:45] <Chheapshot> how does this ufw work. I enable it and didnt reboot or anything after it but after 2hours it suddenly kills my ssh connection. Why didnt it kill it the moment i enabled it?
[17:45] <zaxonspox> honeybee, try: sudo mount /dev/sr0 -t iso9660 /media/folder_that_exist
[17:46] <honeybee> zaxonspox: :) OK
[17:46] <skegeek> When I run 'aptitude upgrade' it gives a rather long 'changes' report. Is it vital to read ALL of this before I continue or can I treat it like a disclaimer?
[17:47] <Kartagis> what package has bash completion?
[17:47] <honeybee> (I should have tried that) ..... It now says mount: no medium found on /dev/sr0
[17:48] <zaxonspox> honeybee, it looks like blank CD, did you open some burning soft to check that?
[17:48] <dv310p3r> Why when I unzip files that come from another persons computer, that are 755, they turn into 700. How can I stop that?
[17:48] <honeybee> zaxonspox: Its a DVD video. I will try something with a file system
[17:48] <WilGil> Ok, when installing i get a dialog box with the title "[!!] Select and install software".  Inside the box it says "Installation step failed.  An installation step failed.  You can try to run the failing item again from the menu, or skip it and choose something else.  The failing step is: Select and install software"
[17:49] <oCean> Kartagis: many packages. See /etc/bash_completion.d/
[17:49] <WilGil> if i don't choose install ubuntu desktop in the software selection screen i do not get this message.
[17:49] <Gnea> dv310p3r: umask controls that
[17:49] <WilGil> But I do want the desktop
[17:50] <The_Janitor> hey guys, where can i download the proprietary drivers for the BCM4318 wireless chip?
[17:50] <dv310p3r> Gnea, umask?
[17:50] <Gnea> dv310p3r: it's a command, use the terminal
[17:51] <honeybee> zaxonspox: It seems to work for a CDROM
[17:51] <Gnea> dv310p3r: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/understanding-linux-unix-umask-value-usage.html
[17:52] <honeybee> zaxonspox: I actually want to burn a CD/DVD
[17:52] <zaxonspox> The_Janitor, ndiswrapper-common and ndisgtk
[17:52] <Escherial> WilGil: this may help you: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=779468
[17:52] <zaxonspox> The_Janitor, if you want to install from a windows drivers
[17:53] <Escherial> WilGil: apparently, reburning the CD should help
[17:53] <knandan> Hi..I am trying to install ubuntu desktop on vmware..
[17:53] <knandan> but it seems it doesnt install..rather i get a command promt after some time..
[17:53] <knandan> can anybody please throw some light on this
[17:54] <WilGil> Escherial: thanks I have read that already.  I have tried with the cd and a usb
[17:55] <WilGil> I also tried on another machine in virtualbox like that thread suggested and had the same problem.  I have been working on this for 2 days and am starting to think there is a problem with the alt install image.
[17:55] <zaxonspox> WilGil, try to do MD5SUM on the downloaded ISO to check if its correct
[17:55] <wcchandler> I'm only pulling 4 kbps when updating... shouldn't I automatically be bumped to the closest/fastest mirror?

[17:56] <OerHeks> !de > evilgenius
[17:56] <WilGil> zaxonspox: thanks, but i have tried that.  also i downloaded as a torrent which inherently does hash checks.  i am fairly  certain that if there is a problem with the image it is the one being distributed

[18:00] <Kartagis> how can I fix this? http://pastebin.com/9RCae1JP
[18:00] <OerHeks> savid no
[18:00] <Kartagis> inc0: no
[18:00] <savid> OerHeks, fantastc :-P
[18:00] <alkafoo> savid: yes, but what they're saying is a reinstall will be simpler
[18:01] <inc0> Kartagis, crap, so its eighter manual solving it or reinstalling whole system?
[18:01] <Kartagis> inc0: yes
[18:01] <Kartagis> how can I fix this? http://pastebin.com/9RCae1JP
[18:01] <alkafoo> downgrading is not something Debian distros "support" =)
[18:01] <alkafoo> but obviously it can be done with a certain amount of effort and knowhow
[18:02] <alkafoo> usually a lot more than just reinstalling
[18:04] <Kingsy> ok I have an mp3 player.. and when I plug it into my pc it only detects about 50% of the time.. why might that be?
[18:05] <BenXYZ> Is there a utility for monitoring disk reads / drive access bundled with Ubuntu?
[18:05] <Kingsy> but also as a seperate question... when I do get it to detect what application can I use to sync music to it?
[18:06] <happyface> is there a way to back up my install's current state and restore it on another machine?
[18:06] <Kingsy> for windows I use windwos media player..
[18:06] <Kingsy> banshee doesnt work
[18:06] <ckb> hey guys, I have a VM running ubuntu and a shared folder setup to my working copy of my SVN. On my Ubuntu VM, /path/to/root is the document root for apache2, and /mnt/hgfs/SVN is the path to my working copy. If I want these 2 directories to mirror each other, what is my best bet?
[18:06] <Kingsy> I can see the mp3 player appear in banshee for a moment then it vanishes..
[18:08] <kjp_1212> hey guys, I am new to ubuntu and I cant get my wifi connection(it says firmware missing). I googled and found that we have to connect an ethernet cable and then click on additional drivers but the problem is I dont have a cable.Is there another way???
[18:09] <usr13> kjp_1212: So you are trying to establish a wireless connection?
[18:09] <skrite> kjp_1212: not an easier way, but you could put the software on a cd or usb
[18:09] <alkafoo> happyface: yes, but usually just backing up ~/ (which includes all your personal configurations and personal data) and a list of what packages you installed is enough
[18:09] <alkafoo> happyface: the OS files themselves area already mirrored in thousands of places
[18:09] <usr13> kjp_1212: What is your wireless device? (make and model) (lspci)
[18:10] <happyface> alkafoo, alright, I essentially want to move a real install to a VMWare instance
[18:10] <skegeek> The bind9 package is used by many packages or only needed for DNS servers?
[18:10] <alkafoo> happyface: ah, there're instructions for that online
[18:10] <happyface> alkafoo, really? hmm ill look harder then thanks
[18:10] <lauratika> hi everyone i wonder if there is a linux portable anti virus i can use with a ubuntu pen drive?
[18:10] <alkafoo> happyface: I mean you can convert to RAW or something and then dd to a partition, something like that
[18:10] <usr13> kjp_1212: In other words, what does   lspci  say about your wifi device?
[18:10] <alkafoo> happyface: you can also just do a network copy with rsync or ... well even cp
[18:10] <happyface> alkafoo, that's always an option
[18:11] <quellhorst> anyone seen an install that can't properly reboot a system?

[18:11] <dv310p3r> in my etc/profile, it's 022, which is correct.
[18:11] <dirtycookie> hi, i have an eeepc 701 where i freshly installed xubuntu. the eeepc has a sdcard slot. inserting a 2gb generic card is no problem, it gets mounted automatically. But inserting a 16gb card from Transcend, doesnt get mounted automatically
[18:11] <quellhorst> so when it gets to the point where the system should shut down, it just hangs?
[18:11] <alkafoo> happyface: set up your partitions and boot a live image on top of your VMware install, then just cp it over
[18:11] <usr13> lauratika: This is for inspecting MS Windows PCs?
[18:11] <alkafoo> quellhorst: could be your BIOS config
[18:11] <alkafoo> or lack of BIOS config
[18:11] <lauratika> usr13 yes
[18:11] <dirtycookie> can someone help
[18:11] <evilgenius> Hello, i cant start ubuntu software center after update-manager

[18:13] <conntrack-> o_O
[18:13] <dirtycookie> alkafoo: when i try to mount it via terminal, the mount command hangs
[18:13] <alkafoo> dirtycookie: if there's nothing on it, you might try reformatting it
[18:13] <dirtycookie> alkafoo: ctrl+c doesnt have any effect, only when i take out the card i gain control from my console
[18:14] <lauratika> usr13: i want more of a AV not the wholoe bundle
[18:14] <dirtycookie> alkafoo: tried different formats already
[18:14] <lauratika> any ideas of just an AV...
[18:14] <usr13> dirtycookie: fdisk -l  #What does that say about your device
[18:14] <alkafoo> lauratika: is clamscan not on there?
[18:14] <dirtycookie> usr13: 1 sec
[18:14] <usr13> lauratika: Do you not have enough disk space?
[18:15] <lauratika> usr13: exactly
[18:15] <happyface> alkafoo, VMWare has a product called VMware vCenter Converter which does this for us :D
[18:15] <varnie> hi

[18:16] <dirtycookie> usr13: fdisk -l /dev/sdb1 gives me: "Cannot open /dev/sdb"
[18:16] <usr13> lauratika: It is only a couple of megabytes..... ?
[18:16] <alkafoo> happyface: wouldn't know, I don't use proprietary binary nonsense =)
[18:16] <varnie> i.e. I have EN and RU langs but when I type in English from time to time there appears some russian letters. that's odd.
[18:16] <usr13> dirtycookie: Must be defective
[18:16] <lauratika> usr13: what is the AV?... i dont need the other stuff
[18:17] <dirtycookie> usr13: impossible because i bought it today and i formated it on a windows machine, copied files onto it from a windows machine
[18:17] <varnie> ops, I found out
[18:17] <varnie> it was enabled 'separate layout for each window" flag ;)
[18:17] <skrite> varnie:  what window manager are you using?
[18:18] <varnie> gnome
[18:18] <usr13> lauratika: It downloads current virus definitions at the time you use it, and that is the only effective way.  (It ops for a couple, I think McAffe and AVG, I always just use AGV).  But this discussion is clearly OT
[18:20] <usr13> dirtycookie: Why did you format it?  Wasnt' it already formatted?  What filesystem did you format to?
[18:20] <usr13> dirtycookie: What filesystem did you install on it?
[18:20] <varnie> system->preferences->layouts-> switch off 'separate layout for each window'
[18:20] <dirtycookie> usr13: i formated it to fat32
[18:20] <cypha> how can I test to see if my system can beep?
[18:21] <usr13> dirtycookie: What fiflesystem came on it when you got it?
[18:21] <dirtycookie> usr13: fat32
[18:21] <usr13> Did you change the partition(s)?
[18:22] <alkafoo> cypha: you can use any commandline audio player for that
[18:22] <pyro_killer> Gentlemen! i have  aproblem with my ubumtu server, the speed up and down through apache is slow as hell , is there a way to tweak it? already reniced the user www-data to 10
[18:22] <cypha> alkafoo, for beeps?
[18:23] <usr13> alkafoo: I think cypha is wanting to hear the MB beep, (not the sound chip).
[18:23] <alkafoo> yeah I know
[18:23] <alkafoo> but people use that because they don't realize they can use mplayer =P
[18:23] <pyro_killer> it should give me 1-10MB it only gives me 20-80kB
[18:23] <usr13> cypha: Hold down a key like maybe delete or escape key while booting.
[18:24] <usr13> or one of the F keys
[18:24] <alkafoo> or echo -e "\a"
[18:25] <cypha> no sound for echo -e "\a"
[18:25] <Kingsy> what application can I use to sync music to an mp4 player?
[18:25] <Kingsy> banshee doesnt work..
[18:25] <alkafoo> lucky you
[18:25] <alkafoo> Kingsy: which mp4 player?
[18:25] <skegeek> Does updatedb just update a list of installed packages or is there more to it?
[18:25] <usr13> Kingsy: Your file manager.
[18:25] <usr13> skegeek: no
[18:26] <alkafoo> skegeek: it doesn't do that, it makes a database of file names/paths on your box
[18:26] <alkafoo> skegeek: if you want something that doesn't rely on a database, use find
[18:26] <usr13> skegeek: The whole filesystem
[18:26] <alkafoo> skegeek: if you want package info, use dpkg or aptitude
[18:26] <usr13> skegeek:  or apt-get
[18:28] <Kingsy> usr13: nautilus wouldnt work.. it needs to be "synced"
[18:28] <Kingsy> if you just copy the files then the mp3 player says "no media" under music
[18:28] <usr13> skegeek: If you want to see what you have installed, do  ls /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.list
[18:29] <Kingsy> alkafoo: its a samsung YP-K5
[18:29] <lauratika> i will wipe a hard drive that has windows 7 right now, but want a dual boots with ubunutu...which one should i install first?... windows or linux
[18:29] <Kingsy> alkafoo: its just an mp3 player
[18:29] <usr13> Kingsy: It will if you reboot it.
[18:29] <pyro_killer> laurtika: windows 7
[18:29] <AG1T> Windows 7
[18:29] <Kingsy> usr13: nope
[18:30] <Kingsy> usr13: it says "no file"
[18:30] <Kingsy> it needs to be "synced"
[18:30] <alkafoo> lauratika: installing Windows first will save you a little time
[18:30] <usr13> Kingsy: I don't know what your problem is but I've done it plenty of times on several mp3 players and works just fine.
[18:31] <usr13> It will sync when it is re-started
[18:31] <Kingsy> banshee seems to detect it but then it vanishes from the list on the left hand side after a second or so
[18:31] <Kingsy> I can still see it in nautilus tho
[18:31] <alkafoo> lauratika: Windows and Linux both have their own boot loaders; if you install Ubuntu second, it should auto-configure to list both OSes at bootup; if you install Windows second, you have to go back and reconfigure manually
[18:31] <Kingsy> usr13: what do you mean? I have restarted the mp3 player..
[18:32] <usr13> Kingsy: Well, either the files are there or they are not.
[18:32] <lauratika> alkafoo: so windows first will be, thanx
[18:32] <usr13> what kind of mp3 player is it?
[18:33] <Kingsy> usr13: its a samsung YP-K5
[18:35] <alkafoo> Kingsy: http://www.google.com/search?q=%22yp-k5%22%20%22linux%22
[18:37] <cypha> any way to get my system beeps working?
[18:39] <Kingsy> thanks

[18:44] <pyro_killer> Kartagis: are you building perl from source?
[18:44] <skegeek> Is Zend Optimizer in the repos?
[18:45] <Kartagis> pyro_killer: no, I am installing packages
[18:46] <pyro_killer> kartagis: try running this command: sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
[18:47] <pyro_killer> kartagis: if that really does nothing: Edit /var/lib/locales/supported.d/local and add the following line:
[18:47] <pyro_killer> en_GB ISO-8859--1
[18:47] <Kartagis> pyro_killer: http://pastebin.com/XFLzf5WJ
[18:48] <Kartagis> pyro_killer: I don't have such a file
[18:51] <pyro_killer> Kartagis: then create the file
[18:52] <pyro_killer> i still havent gotten any suport on my problem of a slow ubuntu server

[18:55] <Anarchy7> how to copy a file from one place to another?
[18:55] <jexmex> for some reason my windows drive is not showing up, well it is, but only "SYSTEM RESERVE"
[18:55] <pyro_killer> Anarchy7: cp /the/file /where/you/want/a/copy
[18:56] <llutz> Kartagis: ubuntu seem to have a different way (debian here, sry) https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Locale
[18:58] <Anarchy7> thanks pyro_killer
[18:58] <Anarchy7> how to get out of man?
[18:58] <usr13> jexmex: Where do you see "SYSTEM RESERVE"?
[18:58] <usr13> Anarchy7: q
[18:58] <jexmex> sidebar in the listings of Computer, it says  GB Hard Disk: SYSTEM RESERVED
[18:59] <jexmex> thats the drive windows is on, but all that is in there is boot folder and System Volume Information
[18:59] <usr13> jexmex: So, which partition is that?
[18:59] <jexmex> should be c: drive
[18:59] <usr13> jexmex: So, which partition is that?
[19:00] <jexmex> not following, sorry
[19:00] <usr13> jexmex: sudo fdisk -l
[19:00] <usr13> jexmex: sudo fdisk -l |pastebinit
[19:00] <usr13> and send resulting URL, we'll have a look
[19:01] <jexmex> http://paste.ubuntu.com/698659/
[19:01] <usr13> jexmex: mount  #See if it mounted now.
[19:01] <Ellipsis753> Is there like a website where I can find lots of nice little widget things for the bar at the top?
[19:01] <icarious> Is there an official free variant of ubuntu? with a blobfree kernel and libre packages ?
[19:02] <X-warrior> Is there a web music player for server ? Similar to transmission web but a music player?
[19:02] <usr13> jexmex: mount |pastebinit  #Send resulting URL and we'll have a look.
[19:03] <jexmex> http://paste.ubuntu.com/698660/
[19:04] <jexmex> i like that pastebinit program
[19:05] <usr13> jexmex: I see that you have  /dev/sda1 & /dev/sdf1 & /dev/sdf2  mounted.  What I do not see, are any Linux partitions. Are you booting to a LiveCD?  Or what? And what exactly are you wanting to do with this system?  (What is your end goal?)
[19:05] <usr13> or are you using wubi?
[19:06] <jexmex> its installed (I installed from windows installer)
[19:06] <usr13> jexmex: Yea, I like it too.
[19:06] <usr13> jexmex: So it is wubi?
[19:06] <jexmex> I just want functioning install, when I did install I did it because my now ex employee said that it would run in windows, but after I did install, he realized it would just install in windows, but then dual boot
[19:07] <usr13> !wubi | jexmex
[19:07] <jexmex> yeah pretty sure its wubi
[19:07] <usr13> jexmex: If you have a wubi install, I am not the one to help you.  I know little if anything about wubi.
[19:07] <jexmex> am I better off uninstalling it and do a regular dual boot install?
[19:08] <usr13> jexmex: Yes (IMHO)
[19:08] <jexmex> ok I will do that later today, back to windows for me for now :)
[19:08] <usr13> or... not so humble  ....
[19:08] <jexmex> thanks for all your help though
[19:08] <icarious> does the "free software only" option during installation removes blobs from the kernel?
[19:09] <usr13> icarious: What is a blob?
[19:09] <usr13> Only thing I can associate is a very old SiFi movie.
[19:10] <auronandace> usr13: i think he means binary blobs (like firmwares)
[19:10] <taza> How would I allow all users to update system?
[19:10] <usr13> o
[19:10] <taza> Just update system, not do anything else admin-related
[19:10] <X-warrior> Is there a web music player for server ? Similar to transmission web but a music player?
[19:10] <usr13> taza: Include them in admin group
[19:11] <taza> usr13: No, that's a bad idea
[19:11] <icarious> yup i meant non-free binary blobs
[19:11] <genii-around> taza: Alternately add an allowed entry in sudoers file specifically for some command like sudo apt-get upgrade
[19:11] <usr13> taza: What?  Allowing them to update the system?  Or...?
[19:11] <taza> Also a bad idea.
[19:11] <icarious> i want a clean blob free system. sticking to Debian cause of it. is there any way i can use a similar environment under ubuntu?
[19:12] <taza> icarious: No
[19:12] <icarious> taza: ok.
[19:12] <taza> (Okay fine IIRC there was an ubuntu derivative 100% binary blob free, but can't recall it.)
[19:12] <usr13> taza: So what do you suggest?
[19:12] <taza> usr13: I don't *know*, but I know that idea is a bad one too.
[19:13] <Gentoo64> X-warrior, i think mpd is not 100% sure
[19:13] <icarious> taza: i guess you are talking about trisquel. but its not official
[19:13] <usr13> taza: Well, I guess it depends on what you consider good or bad.  Why don't YOU just do the updates?
[19:13] <GOMI> is it possible that things in /tmp are automaticlly get removed ??
[19:13] <X-warrior> Gentoo64, thanks will take a look
[19:13] <taza> usr13: Would you stop asking me questions about why and help with the how?
[19:13] <GOMI> i put some things there but nowhere to find now
[19:13] <ayurvedas> hi
[19:14] <usr13> taza: I suppose you could use  a cron job to do it once in a while.  Set up some sort of schedule?
[19:14] <taza> icarious: Yeah, no official way to do it IIRC. Debian's fine if you're skilled enough to care.
[19:14] <usr13> taza: What version of Ubuntu is it?
[19:14] <taza> usr13: 11.04
[19:14] <icarious> taza: ya i guess so . they recently switched to blob-free since squeeze. anyways thanks mates
[19:15] <Smilex> how do I see what architecture my Ubuntu is? e.g. x86
[19:15] <Gentoo64> icarious, why do you want this? for the sake of being 100% open?
[19:15] <usr13> taza: Is a cron job acceptable?
[19:15] <GOMI> Smilex, uname
[19:15] <adubz> i have done a search in linux for something my first search gave 190 results my second only 196
[19:16] <adubz> how can i determine the 6 that were not found in the second search
[19:16] <Smilex> GOMI, it just says 'Linux'
[19:16] <genii-around> Smilex: uname -i
[19:16] <GOMI> Smilex, uname -a
[19:16] <taza> usr13: *sigh* No.
[19:16] <adubz> or how can i output to a txt file and compare to tiles and find the ones that are different between the two
[19:16] <icarious> Gentoo64: yes, and plus you are forced to trust vendors not to put backdoors and spyware into the blobs. dont wanna do that.
[19:16] <Smilex> ok, not to sound too stupid, what does x86_64
[19:16] <genii-around> Smilex: 64 bit
[19:16] <Gentoo64> icarious, depends what blobs. i trust nvidia
[19:17] <icarious> Gentoo64: i trust nouveau :P
[19:17] <Smilex> genii-around, and all this time I've been thinking it's 32bit. Thanks all anyway
[19:17] <Gentoo64> nvidia is too fast to compare though
[19:17] <Gentoo64> blobs arent bad...
[19:17] <Gentoo64> theyre blobs for a reason
[19:17] <GOMI> does the /tmp folder automatically empty it files  , because i know for sure i put some things there ....
[19:17] <usr13> taza: Well, if you werent opposed to giving some details about the system, we could probably give you more specific advise.   Why is it you can't do it from time to time.    I think you need to change your attitude.  I assure you that you are now on my ignore list.
[19:20] <icarious> that made me to switch. even i was using the proprietary nvidia till last week. things are working fine.
[19:21] <Gentoo64> i use nouveau on my hardened desktop (which i would never use blobs) and i miss vdpau and the speed. nouveau does seem to strangely have a better image quality though
[19:21] <taza> I still use proprietary nvidia, but then again, I like a little gaming
[19:21] <GOMI> CoffeeIV,  is it possible to get things back or is that the end ?
[19:21] <Gentoo64> mplayer2 tears with nouveau, dont with vdpau
[19:22] <icarious> Gentoo64: a few minor glitches are there i agree. but its workable . and 3d gaming performance is pretty good. so its fine with me.anyways i guess this is offtopic here . cause i am not a ubuntu guy :P
[19:22] <Gentoo64> me neither, but were not talking about distros
[19:22] <Gentoo64> :)
[19:22] <icarious> :P
[19:23] <icarious> we are having blob wars haha. yes you do need nvidia-settings. specially for dualhead
[19:23] <vacho> can someone please help me? I am getting this error : http://pastebin.com/1gjHzqV5 after following this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PHPOracle
[19:23] <Gentoo64> ah idk i dont use dual, or nvidia settings. nouveau is improving though a lot of work goes into it
[19:23] <vacho> I get the error after runnig sudo pecl install oci8
[19:25] <icarious> i had dualhead before. with nvidia-settings i could configure both of the displays to spawn two different x screens. with nouveau i couldnt .
[19:25] <vacho> anyone please?
[19:26] <CoffeeIV> GOMI: if you rebooted and lost data in /tmp , it is probably the end.  However, if it is worth it to you to spend some time for a small chance at getting all the files back but without their original file names, then turn off the computer now, and do some research on finding a live CD with forensic tools on it that you can use to examine the disk
[19:27] <Gentoo64> GOMI, it empties on boot, so i think if you havent rebooted go into a livecd and they could be there still
[19:27] <CoffeeIV> GOMI: it's possible, but it might not be worth it.  It's not rocket science, but for a lot of new linux people, booting a live CD and scaning disk images and such would be the most advanced thing they'd ever done
[19:30]  * conntrack- chuckles
[19:31]  * alkafoo chuckles louder
[19:31] <davis_> will ever ubuntu support games like GTA 4, Portal 2, Black-Ops or type-like?
[19:31] <Gentoo64> not without wine
[19:31] <ActionParsnip> davis_: check the wine appdb
[19:31] <alkafoo> davis_: it's up to the game developers to make them more cross platform friendly
[19:32] <Gentoo64> linux doesnt have DX only opengl
[19:32] <Gentoo64> and almost all games use dx
[19:32] <ActionParsnip> davis_: games like doom3 have native installers, go moan to your short sighted game developers
[19:32]  * conntrack- is listening to foofighters - Pretender
[19:32] <auronandace> !ot conntrack-
[19:32] <ActionParsnip> conntrack-: nobody cares
[19:32] <taza> Pretty much all Humble Bundle games run on Linux
[19:32] <auronandace> !ot | conntrack-
[19:33] <ActionParsnip> davis_: its the responsibilities of games devs to either make games run nice in wine, or make a native installer

[19:37] <Kartagis> I've updated /etc/adduser.conf to have the users' HOME under /srv/www, the directory and the user's own directory exists (I've checked), but when I do su - user, I get No directory, logging in with HOME=/. why?
[19:39] <Ghostx562> Hello using ubutn natty and i can't connect to the internet anymore need help to reconfig my connection
[19:39] <pyro_killer> post your ifconfig?
[19:40] <Ghostx562> Im using my laptop, how would i copy it here?
[19:40] <Ghostx562> ubuntu natty is on a desktop
[19:40] <pyro_killer> -.-
[19:40] <jcpham> i always troubleshoot network issues by pinging things
[19:40] <jcpham> so ifconfig
[19:40] <sunice> Ghostx562: Are you using the GUI, or did you make changes to /etc/network/interfaces?
[19:41] <jcpham> ping localhost. if localhost responds network most likely works
[19:41] <Ghostx562> using GUI, i restarted my pc and now network won't connect
[19:41] <Ghostx562> jcpham, just pinged localhost
[19:41] <Kartagis> I've updated /etc/adduser.conf to have the users' HOME under /srv/www, the directory and the user's own directory exists (I've checked), but when I do su - user, I get No directory, logging in with HOME=/. why?
[19:41] <jcpham> then ping your gateway
[19:42] <jcpham> then try to ping something public like <IP_ADDRESS>
[19:42] <sunice> Ghostx562: when you do the ifconfig, do you have an IP?
[19:42] <Ghostx562> its still popping up on terminal saying 64 bytes from localhost (<IP_ADDRESS>): icmp_req## ttl=64 time=0.055 ms
[19:42] <jcpham> ctrl c
[19:43] <Ghostx562> for inet address it shows <IP_ADDRESS>
[19:43] <Ghostx562> and mask <IP_ADDRESS>
[19:43] <jcpham> thats lo
[19:43] <jcpham> no eth0
[19:44] <Ghostx562> eth0 doesn't show an IP
[19:44] <alkafoo> lower than lo =P
[19:44] <jcpham> who knows the dhclient command to release and renew?
[19:45] <sunice> Ghostx562: do you have connectivity lights on the ethernet?
[19:45] <Kartagis> dhclient -k I think
[19:45] <Ghostx562> sunice, not on my router, it isn't flashing
[19:45] <sunice> jcpham: ifup ifdow
[19:45] <jcpham> sounds like a hardware problem or dhcp
[19:45] <Ghostx562> nor on the back
[19:45] <sunice> jcpham: ifdown eth0
[19:46] <Ghostx562> ifdown: faild to open statefile /var/run/network/ifstate: permission denied
[19:46] <jcpham> Ghostx562, see sunice's comments on ways to release/renew enable/diasable
[19:46] <jcpham> sudo?
[19:47] <Ghostx562> using sudo i get, RTNETLINK answers: no such process
[19:47] <Ghostx562> using sudo ifdown eth0
[19:47] <Ghostx562> just tried ifup
[19:47] <afeijo> hey guys, how can I remove a folder named -files ?
[19:48] <coot> Hello, how to upgrade kubuntu 9.10 to kubuntu 11.04 at once?
[19:48] <jcpham> sudo cat /etc/network/interfaces
[19:48] <xangua>  coot clean install
[19:48] <jcpham> wait on the new version it isn't there anymore is it
[19:48] <usr13> alkafoo: rm -rf
[19:48] <jcpham> i quit
[19:49] <coot> xangua: thanks.
[19:49] <Ghostx562> jcpham, i get auto eth0
[19:49] <jcpham> I'd verify the NIC has a link light
[19:49] <Ghostx562> iface eth0 inet dhcp
[19:49] <jcpham> auto eth0 is dhcp
[19:49] <jcpham> yeah that's normal
[19:49] <brunner> which process or package is it that monitors the link state of my NIC and executes DHCP requests when a cable is connected?
[19:50] <Ghostx562> jcp, yep green light and a yellow one
[19:50] <ikonia> brunner: that will be done through gnome-network-manager normally
[19:50] <Kartagis> I've updated /etc/adduser.conf to have the users' HOME under /srv/www, the directory and the user's own directory exists (I've checked), but when I do su - user, I get No directory, logging in with HOME=/. why?
[19:50] <brunner> ikonia: got it.  so if I have a system that doesn't have X installed, it won't do that, correct?
[19:50] <jcpham> so you have a link. check
[19:50] <jcpham> localhost responds to pings
[19:51] <ikonia> brunner: depends if you configure it through /etc/network/interfaces, if you don't, no, it won't
[19:51] <Ghostx562> try to ping the gateway?
[19:51] <jcpham> but eth0 is nowhere to be seen
[19:51] <jcpham> yeah
[19:51] <Ghostx562> gateway is <IP_ADDRESS> right?
[19:51] <jcpham> ifconfig and tell me
[19:51] <ikonia> Kartagis: grep $username /etc/passwd and lets see the restuls (it contains no password inforamtion)
[19:52] <Ghostx562> jcp, i get Connect: Network is unreachable
[19:52] <brunner> ikonia: I want it to act the way gnome-network-manager does, where it does a DHCP request any time a cable is plugged in
[19:52] <Kartagis> ikonia: vetbbc.com:x:1000:100:BBC Veteriner Klinigi,,,:/srv/www/vetbbc.com:/bin/bash
[19:52] <jcpham> dmesg |grep eth0
[19:52] <ikonia> Kartagis: ok, so that's all set spot on, look at the permissions on the home dir as I suspect that's the issue
[19:53] <ikonia> brunner: if you configure it in the /etc/network/interfaces file, it will
[19:53] <Kartagis> ikonia: 600, maybe that's why?
[19:53] <soreau> afeijo: rm -rf -- -files
[19:53] <ikonia> Kartagis: is the user the owner ?
[19:53] <brunner> ikonia: okay, because I thought turning on dhcp via the interfaces file would just cause it to do a DHCP request when the machine is turned on
[19:53] <ikonia> Kartagis: (and look at the permissions on /srv and /srv/www as the user needs to be able to get into them to see his home dir
[19:53] <Kartagis> ikonia: yes
[19:53] <ikonia> brunner: well, it will, but the cables not plugged in, so it will keep going
[19:54] <ikonia> Kartagis: if you su - $user
[19:54] <afeijo> soreau, now my friend said he need to access that folder, is that possible?
[19:54] <ikonia> Kartagis: can you then cd into the home dir ?
[19:54] <Ghostx562> jcpham, use pastebin for outcome?
[19:54] <afeijo> cd -- -files worked
[19:54] <afeijo> thanks soreau !!
[19:54] <jcpham> sure
[19:55] <soreau> afeijo: The special option -- means "end of options" to every POSIX command except echo and test. E.g., mv -- *.png /somedir # see also http://wiki.bash-hackers.org/dict/terms/end_of_options
[19:55] <Kartagis> ikonia: permission denied
[19:55] <ikonia> Kartagis: we have a winner !
[19:55] <brunner> ikonia: but you're saying there's a way to configure the interfaces file to do a dhcp request each time a cable is plugged in?
[19:55] <Kartagis> ikonia: /srv/ and /srv/www are botb 755
[19:55] <ikonia> brunner: it will do that automatically
[19:55] <Kartagis> both*
[19:55] <ikonia> brunner: if you configure it in /etc/network/interfaces, it will do it
[19:55] <ikonia> Kartagis: ls -la /srv (pastebin please)
[19:56] <Ghostx562> jcpham, http://paste.ubuntu.com/698697/
[19:56] <jcpham> that looks like ahardware problem or dhcp problem to me
[19:56] <jcpham> i'm looking
[19:56] <wcchandler> when I'm shutting down it fails...  is there a log file of the messages from shutting down?  I want to know where it stops/hangs at
[19:57] <Kartagis> ikonia: http://pastebin.com/QbNaKSrE
[19:57] <Ghostx562> jcpham, rebooting router now
[19:57] <brunner> ikonia: got it, thanks
[19:57] <jcpham> Anyone have a second opinion on Ghostx562's paste above?
[19:57] <Ghostx562> jcpham, this happened after removing moblock
[19:57] <brunner> ikonia: is there a special command to make it behave that way?
[19:58] <jcpham> i'm googling what moblock is ;p
[19:58] <ikonia> brunner: no
[19:58] <Ghostx562> jcpham, got it workign
[19:58] <Ghostx562> working*
[19:58] <jcpham> yay
[19:58] <ikonia> Kartagis: ls -la /srv/www
[19:58] <Ghostx562> seems it needed a router reset
[19:58] <Ghostx562> gonna ping an ip now
[19:58] <jcpham> go figure :)
[19:58] <brunner> ikonia: so "auto eth0" and "iface eth0 inet dhcp" will do the trick?
[19:59] <ikonia> brunner: looks spot on
[19:59] <Kartagis> ikonia: drwx------ 3 vetbbc.com users 4096 Sep 28 23:57 vetbbc.com
[19:59] <Kartagis> I'm guessing 600 was the problem
[19:59] <ikonia> Kartagis: no
[20:00] <ikonia> Kartagis: can you run "id" on the user vetbbc.com
[20:00] <ikonia> Kartagis: 600 is a good permission
[20:00] <Ghostx562> jcpham, thanks when you said hardware i just unplugged my router and it worked again
[20:00] <brunner> ikonia: awesome. thanks so much :D
[20:00] <Kartagis> ikonia: uid=1000(vetbbc.com) gid=100(users) groups=100(users)
[20:00] <jcpham> Ghostx562 you can now troubleshoot a debin network problem!
[20:00] <ikonia> Kartagis: that should be fine
[20:00] <ikonia> Kartagis: can the user get into /srv ?
[20:00] <jcpham> the only other issue would have been if you had NO eth0 and that would've most likely been a driver issue
[20:01] <Ghostx562> jcpham, i hope so
[20:01] <Kartagis> ikonia: yes, and /srv/www too. 700 fixed it though
[20:02] <ikonia> Kartagis: why do you need write access ?
[20:02] <ikonia> Kartagis: most odd
[20:02] <ikonia> Kartagis: glad your fixed
[20:02] <Kartagis> ikonia: thanks
[20:03] <staff_nowa> hi anybody programming in prolog ? have question
[20:04] <ikonia> staff_nowa: no, this is ubuntu support, not prolog
[20:04] <nn> how do i run a binary file that opens default in gedit?
[20:04] <nn> is there a command?
[20:04] <xangua> nn: right clic-properties-run as program
[20:05] <nn> i dont see that option anywhere
[20:06] <nn> anyone know anything about waf? im trying to install/compile some python scripts and im totally lost
[20:06] <deadpool> hey guys I am trying to install ubuntu 11.04, I downloaded the image from the website a few times and burned them onto the ct, but I was unable to install it from the reboot
[20:06] <deadpool> so I ended up downloading a torrent taht someone told me would work
[20:06] <deadpool> and it did install but I didn't know it was ubuntu server
[20:07] <deadpool> can I still use the regular ubuntu with the GUI from there?
[20:07] <genii-around> deadpool: Just install package ubuntu-desktop
[20:07] <Kartagis> ikonia: how do I fix http://pastebin.com/cj1nyvSV ?
[20:07] <deadpool> where do I do that
[20:07] <ikonia> Kartagis: they are just warnings,
[20:07] <Kartagis> ikonia: I've tried dpkg-reconfigure locales
[20:07] <ikonia> Kartagis: it's shell parameters, not system
[20:08] <ikonia> Kartagis: are they causing you a problem ?
[20:08] <genii-around> deadpool: eg: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[20:08] <Kartagis> ikonia: I don't to get them
[20:08] <Kartagis> want to*
[20:08] <deadpool> oh ok thanks geniil, I am switching from windows to ubuntu
[20:08] <paulus68> ikonia do you ever sleep ;)
[20:09] <ikonia> Kartagis: sorry what ?
[20:09] <ikonia> paulus68: sometimes
[20:09] <Kartagis> ikonia: I don't want to get them
[20:09] <ikonia> Kartagis: why ? are they causing you problems ?
[20:09] <ikonia> Kartagis: they are just warnings
[20:09] <paulus68> ikonia: most of the time when I am connecting you are wondering arround to oops that's just indicating that I don't sleep much either :)
[20:10] <Kartagis> ikonia: I didn't receive them before, and I'm afraid they might cause trouble in the future
[20:10] <ikonia> Kartagis: they shouldn't do, hence them being warnings
[20:11] <nn> 'bash: ./waf no such file or directory'
[20:11] <nn> how would i install waf
[20:11] <ikonia> nn: what do the instructions say
[20:11] <nn> yeah i dont understand the majority of the instructions actually
[20:11] <Ep1kMalware> hai guyz.
[20:12] <ikonia> nn: what does it actually say to do
[20:12] <Ep1kMalware> I need a little help, I'm a freebsd user and I've had some concerns about this ubuntu box.
[20:12] <Ep1kMalware> It's not making sense.
[20:12] <ikonia> Ep1kMalware: just ask
[20:13] <Ep1kMalware> it's mounted on sda3, sda2, sda1, sda0 and hda* don't exist.
[20:13] <Ep1kMalware> and it's making editing fstab a complete mess.
[20:13] <genii-around> Ep1kMalware: Ubuntu uses libata which makes all drives appear as sdX
[20:13] <ikonia> Ep1kMalware: that's fine, hdX doesn't exist any more due to libata, and sda0 is never a device, it starts at 1
[20:13] <Ep1kMalware> genii-around: I've done the same modifaction only last week and / was mounted on /dev/hda0
[20:14] <Ep1kMalware> wtf
[20:14] <Ep1kMalware> why does it start at 1?
[20:14]  * Ep1kMalware facepalms
[20:14] <Ep1kMalware> alright, thanks.
[20:15] <fdsadsa> http://pastebin.com/2Xb9cuBy
[20:15] <nn> ^ thats what it says to do
[20:15] <nn> but ./waf doesnt do anything
[20:15] <nn> and i dont know how to install it
[20:15] <ikonia> nn: are you fdsadsa ?
[20:15] <nn> yeah
[20:16] <ikonia> nn: ok, so are you in the same directory as the "waf" file ?
[20:16] <nn> yeah ive tried running it but it doesnt change anything when i try to ./waf
[20:16] <nn> and yes im in the folder with the binary file or whatever
[20:16] <ikonia> nn: that's not what I asked
[20:16] <ikonia> nn: please run "ls -la waf" and pastebin the output
[20:17] <sven_> hi! i just booted my well working 11.4, 64bit, lvm2-root-on-sda5 system with a system that is basically the same just 32bit and sdb.... how can i access my lvm partitions?
[20:17] <nn> no such file or directory
[20:17] <Simone1> lolz
[20:17] <ikonia> nn: so you're not in the same directory as it
[20:17] <nn> how do i know what the right dir is
[20:17] <tomodachi> sven_: does the decies pop up if you type lvdisplay
[20:18] <ikonia> nn: where did you put it
[20:18] <sven_> tomodachi, nope, just my usbsticks (sdb) devices :/
[20:18] <nn> its in /dream/drobilla-lad
[20:18] <ikonia> nn: then change to that directory and run it
[20:18] <nn> cd?
[20:18] <ikonia> nn: that is "change directory"
[20:20] <nn> alright
[20:20] <sven_> tomodachi, just to mention, my sda still works fine, i can boot it etc. just need to access some data (need 32bit for that)
[20:20] <nn> it says -rwxr-xr-x 1 dream dream 89530 2011-09-26 05:56 waf (in green)
[20:20] <Dalek`> does anyone know how to install Free Rapid Downloaded in Ubuntu 11.04?
[20:21] <nn> do i need to run it from the drobilla folder? cuz i just copy pasted it to the /dream/ folder
[20:21] <ikonia> nn: now try to run it
[20:21] <ikonia> nn: you can run it from where ever you want
[20:21] <skegeek> Is there any reason for a server to have two 512 Swap partitions?
[20:21] <nn> ugh
[20:21] <nn> how do i cd to the /dream/drobilla dir
[20:21] <nn> hmm
[20:21] <ikonia> skegeek: are they on different partitions ?
[20:21] <ikonia> nn: cd /dream/drobilla
[20:22] <nn> i tried that
[20:22] <soreau> nn: You may need to specify the complete path
[20:22] <nn> dream is my home dir
[20:22] <paulus68> nn:  pay attention it's case sensitive
[20:22] <skegeek> They're virtual machine swap images.
[20:22] <ikonia> nn: can you start giving more info, "what did it say when you tried" for example
[20:22] <nn> so i dont know what would come before that
[20:22] <soreau> nn: cd ~/dream/drobilla
[20:23] <soreau> nn: Or cd $HOME/dream/drobilla
[20:23] <paulus68> nn:  Or cd /home/dream/drobilla
[20:23] <nn> k im in the right dir now
[20:23] <nn> it was ~/drobilla
[20:24] <soreau> nn: or /home/username/dream/drobilla
[20:26] <nn> now im trying to configure waf and it keeps saying 'configuration failed'
[20:26] <nn> the commands are in that pastebin
[20:26] <fdsadsa> http://pastebin.com/2Xb9cuBy
[20:26] <ikonia> nn: what options did you pass it
[20:27] <soreau> nn: You may need to install dependencies.. (haven't seen your pastebin)
[20:27] <Simone1> arr wheres the channel for backtrack
[20:27] <jimubao> cd ~/dream
[20:27] <soreau> ! compile | nn
[20:27] <ikonia> skegeek: #backtrack-linux
[20:27] <fdsadsa> ./waf configure --prefix=/usr/local --debug --strict
[20:27] <qin> !bt | Simone1
[20:27] <Simone1> tx
[20:27] <ikonia> soreau: just needs python
[20:27] <jimubao> ! compile
[20:27] <soreau> ikonia: k
[20:27] <ikonia> fdsadsa: just issue "./waf configure"
[20:27] <ikonia> soreau: thats what the docs say, I don't believe it though
[20:27] <soreau> ikonia: Can I see the output?
[20:28] <ikonia> http://pastebin.com/2Xb9cuBy
[20:28] <jman88888> does anybody know how to make the touchpad less screwy with a Macbook Late 2009?
[20:29] <soreau> ok, now I'm confused
[20:29] <fdsadsa> http://pastebin.com/CT3sVjwK
[20:29] <soreau> fdsadsa == nn?
[20:29] <nn> yeah
[20:29] <guntbert> Simone1:  #backtrack-linux
[20:29] <ikonia> nn: you're missing software package pkg-config
[20:29] <ikonia> soreau: and there is the lives, it also needs pkgconfig
[20:29] <genii-around> !backtrack | Simone1
[20:30] <nn> how do i install that
[20:30] <ikonia> "lies"
[20:30] <ikonia> !info pkgconfig
[20:30] <ikonia> !info pkg-config
[20:30] <ikonia> nn: install the package pkg-config
[20:30] <nn> how
[20:30] <ikonia> nn: have you ever used any linux before ?
[20:31] <nn> not until like 2 days ago
[20:31] <skegeek> I am not looking for security,  I'm just not sure why my server needs two 512 Swap images versus only one or just a 1G image.
[20:31] <soreau> ikonia: His configure output says pkg-config is installed..
[20:31] <nn> i just looked in the software center
[20:31] <ikonia> soreau: so it does, well spotted
[20:31] <nn> and yeah its already installed
[20:31] <ikonia> lv2core ?
[20:31] <soreau> ikonia: I'm looking for the other dep and not finding much for lv2core yet
[20:31] <ikonia> soreau: me neither
[20:32] <ikonia> nn: side issue, take a look at https://help.ubuntu.com to get an overview/introduction on how to use ubuntu
[20:32] <soreau> ikonia: Ah, it's very old...
[20:32] <nn> i get most of it.. its just some instructions are kind of over my head
[20:32] <ikonia> soreau: you found it ?
[20:32] <obx> guys what's a better twitter client for ubuntu
[20:32] <soreau> ikonia: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/lv2core
[20:32] <ikonia> nn: you can't say "you get most of it" when you can't change directory.
[20:32] <obx> cause tweetdeck is failing me
[20:32] <ikonia> nn: you need to pickup the basics from https://help.ubuntu.com
[20:33] <obx> did tweetdeck remove the deckly support or something cause i can't do long updates anymore
[20:33] <ikonia> soreau: ok, so not in natty then....great
[20:33] <ikonia> !info lv2core
[20:33] <ikonia> ahhh its there
[20:33] <TrueColors> How would you give a file write permissions? sudo chmod +w /path/to/file ?
[20:34] <ikonia> nn: you need to install the package lv2core
[20:34] <soreau> Ah
[20:34] <ikonia> soreau: good fine
[20:34] <nn> yeah i just did
[20:34] <nn> but it says the same thing when i waf configure
[20:34] <nn> do i need to restart terminal or something
[20:34] <ikonia> nn: how did you install it ?
[20:34] <soreau> ikonia: Were you grepping for 'dev' too? ;)
[20:34] <nn> from the software center
[20:34] <sven_> any hints on the lvm2 thingy? i notice that pvscan does only see the pv on /dev/dm-0, and there does not seem to be a /dev/dm-n device for sda5 - but i dont know how this would be created :/
[20:34] <ikonia> soreau: maybe......
[20:35] <beefman_> hi.  just did upgrade to 11.04 and lost my grub installation...  i got to the grub rescue prompt, found my hd, set it, set the initrd, now am in it, but dunno what to do next.  any advice?
[20:35] <soreau> hm hm hm
[20:35] <ikonia> nn: why do you want this waf ? do you know what it is ?
[20:35] <ikonia> nn: I've just read what it is and I'm concerned it may not be what you're expecting
[20:35] <nn> i have to have it to install an audio suite
[20:36] <soreau> ikonia: Looks like that package doesn't provide any development headers but there's no corresponding -dev package for it
[20:36] <nn> and it requires ./waf to compile python
[20:36] <nn> i believe
[20:36] <ikonia> nn: are you sure ?
[20:36] <ikonia> nn: what audio package
[20:36] <nn> ingen
[20:36] <ejer> beefman_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling_GRUB2
[20:36] <nn> http://drobilla.net/software/ingen/
[20:36] <ikonia> nn: I'd be VERY surprised if it needed waf
[20:36] <soreau> ikonia: I believe waf is an uncommon build system
[20:36] <obx> anybody? rofl
[20:37] <soreau> ikonia: Some packages use it
[20:37] <nn> the only instructions included are ./waf commands
[20:37] <ikonia> soreau: correct,
[20:37] <ikonia> soreau: hence my concern this may not have been what nn what expecting
[20:37] <beefman_> ejer: will a 10.04 cd have boot repair?
[20:37] <beefman_> compatible with 11.04?
[20:38] <soreau> ikonia: Why not? I don't see any packages for drobilla..
[20:38] <ejer> beefman_, don't think so...
[20:38] <nn> i installed the packages with svn
[20:38] <genii-around> !info tweetdeck
[20:38] <genii-around> Hm
[20:38] <ikonia> soreau: based on the basic issues we where seeing, I was concerned that nn wasn't actually expecting this to be a set of tools for building software
[20:38] <nn> but i cant install/compile them w/o waf i dont think
[20:38] <ejer> beefman_, I would grab the new livecd if I were you
[20:38] <ikonia> nn: which packages did you install
[20:38] <beefman_> k
[20:39] <nn> all of them
[20:39] <ikonia> nn: all of what ?
[20:39] <jman88888> does anybody know how to make the touchpad less screwy with a Macbook Late 2009?
[20:39] <soreau> lmao
[20:39] <ikonia> am I missing something ?
[20:39] <nn> http://drobilla.net/software/ingen/ everything listen on the top left of that page
[20:39] <nn> listed*
[20:39] <nn> it did it all auto with svn
[20:39] <ikonia> nn: if you've installed them ? how did you do it without waf ?
[20:39] <ikonia> svn auto built them ?
[20:40] <jman88888> !voice
[20:40] <nn> no it just installed a bunch of script files and stuff
[20:40] <ikonia> nn: ok, so you just downloaded the source code
[20:40] <nn> pretty much i think
[20:40] <jman88888> Can anybody see these messages?
[20:40] <aeon-ltd> jman88888: yes
[20:41] <jman88888> aeon-ltd: thanks
[20:41] <ejer> jman88888, less screwy is not really enough info
[20:41] <sven_> lvm2 thingy is resolved, first had to cryptsetup the device...
[20:41] <ejer> jman88888, check https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook5-2/Natty#Trackpad
[20:41] <jman88888> ejer: oh sorry i mean its like sticky seemingly, and if i have 2 fingers on it it doesnt move.
[20:42] <soreau> nn: Those screenshots look nice and all but have you explored other alternatives that are much easier to install such as ardour?
[20:42] <ejer> jman88888, do sudo dmidecode -s system-product-name - so we know what model u have
[20:42] <jman88888> Macbook 6,1
[20:42] <Arsanerit> I have sound through 'oss', but not through 'alsa'; e.g., if I play 'mplayer' just like that, it is silent, but 'mplayer -ao oss' gives sound. Flash @ Firebox has no sound. I can't find the appropiate configuration in "Sound and Video Configuration". In alsamixer nothing of relevance is muted. How do I get my sound in Alsa to work? I've been through https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting but I do have sound in some ...
[20:42] <ikonia> nn: is there a file called "config.cache" in that directory ?
[20:42] <Arsanerit> ... circumstances, just not in others...
[20:42] <ikonia> (the waf directory)
[20:42] <nn> yeah i have but this one ive used before
[20:42] <lsv> if there is a bug with NetworkManager in Red Hat Enterprise is that bug also in Ubuntu or is it a different NetworkManager?
[20:43] <ikonia> lsv: same product, different version/dependencies
[20:43] <lsv> this is why I ask --> http://www.hispasec.com/unaaldia/4719  (it is in spanish though)
[20:43] <nn> nope in /drobilla theres folders of all the progs, an install readme, a readme, a waf binary and a wscript
[20:43] <lsv> ikonia: thanks
[20:43] <ikonia> nn: no config.cache though ?
[20:44] <sburwood1> Where do I go for a Wifi (if possible N and, why not N300) solution for my desktop?
[20:45] <nn> nope
[20:45] <genii-around> !hcl | sburwood1
[20:45] <ikonia> nn: one moment
[20:45] <ikonia> soreau: have you actually got an ubuntu box at hand
[20:45] <soreau> ikonia: yes
[20:45] <soreau> a couple
[20:45] <ejer> jman88888, you can check https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook6-1/Lucid#Trackpad
[20:45] <nn> what does it mean to check out a directory?
[20:45] <sburwood1> genii-around: Thx.  I'm going to look into that
[20:45] <ikonia> soreau: can you look for me what the lv2core package actually has in it ?
[20:45] <soreau> nn: It's basically downloading a snapshot of the development directory
[20:46] <soreau> ikonia: Sure, it's right here http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/all/lv2core/filelist
[20:46] <ikonia> soreau: bravo
[20:46] <soreau> oh it does have dev stuff...
[20:46] <nn2> brb
[20:46] <soreau> overlooked it
[20:47] <mr_roboto> Alguém sabe algum programa legal para programar php no ubuntu sem ser o eclipse?
[20:47] <monkadelicd> Hello!
[20:47] <ikonia> soreau: 1 header and 1 package config file
[20:47] <soreau> indeed
[20:47] <soreau> so pkg-config should find it
[20:48] <soreau> nn: Does 'echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH' show anything?
[20:48] <monkadelicd> Has anyone here installed Packet Tracer on 11.04?
[20:48] <nn> wtf i have lv2core installed but i keeps saying not found in the ./waf configure
[20:48] <soreau> nn: What does 'pkg-config --modversion lv2core' say?
[20:49] <nn> 3.0
[20:49] <nn> i guess i need 4.0
[20:49] <soreau> nn: Does /usr/lib/pkgconfig/lv2core.pc exist?
[20:49] <soreau> ah...
[20:49] <monkadelicd> Anyone have experience with Cisco Packet Tracer?
[20:49] <jrib> soreau: i just noticed your last line and have no clue if you have checked this but this sounds like a "i compiled my own pkg-config to /usr/local" problem
[20:49] <monkadelicd> specifically installing?
[20:50] <ejer> pretty doubtful monkadelicd
[20:50] <ikonia> jrib: I really REALLY hope not
[20:50] <nn> how do i get the newest lv2core installed?
[20:50] <soreau> nn: Well you may have to build lv2core yourself too then
[20:50] <soreau> jrib: I don't think this is the case but anything is possible
[20:50] <soreau> nn: What is the output of 'which pkg-config'?
[20:50] <ikonia> nn: please show me the output of "which pkg-config"
[20:50] <soreau> hehe
[20:50] <monkadelicd> ok... I'm not very experienced with Ubuntu or Linux in general but I'm no moron...
[20:51] <ikonia> monkadelicd: no-one is saying you're a mornon
[20:51] <ikonia> moron
[20:51] <monkadelicd> I installed packet tracer from a .bin file and I can't find it anywhere in the installed applications on 11.04
[20:51] <nn> fsda /usr/bin/pkg-config
[20:51] <monkadelicd> where can I look?
[20:51] <ikonia> monkadelicd: it won't be
[20:51] <ikonia> monkadelicd: it won't update the menus as it's a binary file
[20:51] <nn> -fdsa
[20:51] <ikonia> monkadelicd: the documentation should tell you where it installs to
[20:51] <monkadelicd> everything I'
[20:52] <ejer> monkadelicd, you installed it using WINE right
[20:52] <ikonia> nn: ls -la /usr/lib/pkgconfig/lv2core.pc
[20:52] <monkadelicd> I installed it from the terminal
[20:52] <ikonia> monkadelicd: the documentation should tell you where it installs to
[20:52] <monkadelicd> the documentation says I should find it under internet applications but its not there
[20:52] <jrib> monkadelicd: log out and back in
[20:53] <ikonia> I don't think it's going to update the menu
[20:53] <Polah> What's the keyboard shortcut to show all current windows in GNOME? Similar to Super+S to show all workspaces.
[20:53] <jman88888> !lts
[20:53] <monkadelicd> there's no other way to refresh the menu?
[20:53] <ejer> monkadelicd, can you point to where you got the software from?
[20:53] <monkadelicd> that's fine for me...just wondering if that's the only way
[20:54] <jrib> monkadelicd: you're using unity?
[20:54] <monkadelicd> I got it from the Cisco Netacad...no download link...have to use login
[20:54] <monkadelicd> jrib: yes
[20:54] <Axlin|MB> Polah: Super+W
[20:54] <jrib> monkadelicd: then I have no clue :)
[20:54] <RobbieCrash> I have a promise 'raid' card that I'm using as an additional SATA controller, the drives which are attached to it are part of a ZFS pool. At reboot, these devices are normally initialized as /dev/sd[e-h]. However, sometimes they're initialized before the disks attached directly to my motherboard, which causes the ZFS pool to think that they've failed, and it then fails to mount the pool. How
[20:54] <RobbieCrash> can I make sure that the devices are always initialized in the same order at boot?
[20:54] <Polah> Axlin|MB: That's the one, thank you.

[20:54] <ubuntutest> hoe kan ik thunderbrid 7 nl installeren
[20:55] <soreau> nn: So remove the lv2core package and get the source instead with this command: svn co http://lv2plug.in/repo/trunk
[20:55] <ubuntutest> how to install thunderbird 7
[20:55] <ejer> !nl
[20:55] <monkadelicd> jrib: thanks! I'll try to log out and back in
[20:55] <nn> what will having the source allow me to do?
[20:56] <ejer> RobbieCrash, something like this http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-assign-static-names-to-scsi-devices.html but make sure the udev rules you use are valid (old article)
[20:56] <soreau> nn: If you need lv2core, you need to build it yourself since natty only has 3.0 packaged
[20:56] <jman88888> Is it better to install 10.4 or 10.10 beta if i plan on going to 10.10 when it releases?
[20:56] <soreau> nn: If you need lv2core 4.0, that is
[20:56] <ikonia> jman88888: 10.10 is already released
[20:56] <ikonia> jman88888: it's been out almost a year
[20:57] <jman88888> err 11.10
[20:57] <jman88888> and 11.4
[20:57] <ikonia> jman88888: always use stable versions
[20:57] <jman88888> Cool thanks
[20:57] <soreau> nn: After checking out the source with that svn command, use this to build it: cd trunk; python2 ./waf configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man && python2 waf
[20:58] <nn> alright its downloaded with svn now what?
[20:58] <Arsanerit> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting  ought to link to  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems
[20:59] <nn> ugh i still need waf to install lv2
[20:59] <soreau> nn: svn co <URL> means 'use subversion to checkout this repository'
[20:59] <nn> wtffffffffffffff that was the whole problem with ./waf
[20:59] <nn> that i need lv2 to get waf to work
[20:59] <ejer> nn, what software are you trying to install exactly from http://drobilla.net/
[20:59] <ikonia> nn: tone down the language pplease.
[20:59] <nn> sorry
[21:00] <nn> all of it
[21:00] <jrib> nn: now you know why package managers exist :)
[21:00] <nn> yeah for retards like em
[21:00] <nn> me
[21:00] <soreau> nn: waf should be in the trunk directory you just checked out. Try 'ls' command to see the contents of a directory
[21:00] <ejer> nn, I think you probably would do better using more supported software
[21:00] <ejer> nn, ardour can do all this
[21:00] <jrib> nn: no, for everyone
[21:01] <soreau> ejer: I suggested this already
[21:01] <ejer> nn, this is awesome http://ubuntustudio.org/
[21:01] <nn> hmm i just configured lv2 from the trunk dir and everything went smoothly
[21:01] <Onryo> Where are the sha256sum (md5 whatever) for the server iso of Ubuntu? Need to verify the images integrity after download.
[21:02] <Pici> !hashes | Onryo
[21:02] <Onryo> ubottu, thx
[21:02] <RobbieCrash> ejer thanks!
[21:02] <soreau> nn: After you get it installed, check which version is reported by the output of 'pkg-config --modversion lv2core'
[21:02] <soreau> nn: Then run the other thing you were trying to configure, if it reports 4.0
[21:03] <nn> ok i configured and built lv2 smoothly but when i try to install it gives me a bunch of errors
[21:03] <Riddick> hi...
[21:04] <soreau> nn: Use sudo for the last command.. if they're permissions errors
[21:04] <nn> how do i do that? whats the whole command?
[21:04] <soreau> ! who | nn
[21:05] <nn> and i think theyre just dir errors
[21:05] <TRACY> Hi ,is there any linux distros which allow to connect to wireless with channel 13 , because UBUNTU allows just from 1-11 ?
[21:05] <ikonia> TRACY: we only support ubuntu here
[21:05] <soreau> nn: sudo python2 waf
[21:05] <nn> python2 command not found
[21:06] <soreau> nn: Does 'which python2' show anything?
[21:06] <Pici> soreau: that should be python2.5 or 2.6 or 2.whatever, or just python.
[21:06] <soreau> Pici: I'm getting there ;)
[21:06] <sunice> Danish_: do you have a static ip? that nats to your internal address?
[21:07] <RCAJDT> I'm trying to use the Serato Audio Interface (USB) with mixx or xwax. It shows up in alsa mixer, and it's listed under sound cards, but neither mixxx nor xwax recognize hw1
[21:07] <nn> and no python2 shows nothing
[21:07] <soreau> nn: Well you need to start over then and use python instead of python2
[21:07] <soreau> nn: python ./waf configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man && python waf
[21:08] <monkadelicd> exit
[21:09] <nn> alright just ran that command smoothly now what
[21:09] <soreau> nn: After you get it installed, check which version is reported by the output of 'pkg-config --modversion lv2core'
[21:09] <soreau> ! who | nn
[21:09] <soreau> ubottu: ping
[21:10] <soreau> ! who | nn
[21:10] <nn> i cant install it
[21:10] <nn> im gonna pastebin the ./waf install output
[21:11] <soreau> nn: You see how I prefix my messages to you with 'nn:'? This is so your irc client highlights you.
[21:11] <soreau> Look what happens when I don't use your nick
[21:12] <soreau> nn: It's good practice in a larger channel such as this to prefix your messages with the nick of the person you're talking to so they get highlighted too
[21:12] <soreau> nn: You can use 'sor<tab>' to auto complete my nick, for example
[21:12] <nn> soreau http://pastebin.com/jGMnJzLK
[21:13] <soreau> How very uninformative
[21:13] <nn> yeah im lost
[21:14] <sburwood1> I've another question : I'm living in Belgium, but want - actually NEED - a way to get a desktop to do Wifi N.  What would anyone suggest for a solution ... PCI or PCIE or USB that would be garanteed to work?  Also, what is the best, N, N150 or N300?
[21:14] <soreau> nn: And to be honest, you're really on your own when it comes to building software. We only support official ubuntu packages here
[21:14] <soreau> ! compile | nn
[21:14] <soreau> nn: You can also ask in other channels such as ##linux
[21:14] <edwardpatch> hi
[21:14]  * miadbahrami how too add ppk in ubuntu
[21:14] <soreau> miadbahrami: ppk?
[21:15]  * miadbahrami ppk in vpn
[21:15] <nn> could it be because i already have an older version of lv2 installed?
[21:15] <vn> hi, when I edit crontab -e, is it supposed to reload automatically in order to see what new tasks it has or do I need to do something?
[21:15] <soreau> nn: Could be anything.
[21:15] <Pici> vn: What do you mean by 'reload automatically?'  It just loads up what the current user's crontab looks like.
[21:16] <soreau> nn: When you compile source code, you're about two steps away from development, in which case you have to figure a lot out on your own
[21:16] <varikonniemi> hello. Is it a known bug that the recycle bing thinks it is full, even though it is empty?
[21:16]  * miadbahrami I am from Iran and the new Linux can help me please
[21:16] <jrib> varikonniemi: maybe the partition it is on is full?
[21:16] <nn> sweet i got it
[21:17] <kingfarvito> does anyone here use xournal?
[21:17] <soreau> miadbahrami: For one, you don't need to use /me when typing messages
[21:17] <sburwood1> miadbahrami: Do you have a specific question?
[21:17] <miadbahrami> soreau: how to add ppk vpn in ubuntu
[21:17] <soreau> kingfarvito: nope
[21:17] <nn> how do i run lv2config?
[21:17] <jrib> kingfarvito: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line)
[21:17] <soreau> ! anyone | kingfarvito
[21:17] <edwardpatch> hey
[21:17] <edwardpatch> how are
[21:17] <miadbahrami> soreau: ok
[21:17] <kingfarvito> Is there a way to add searchable tags in xournal?
[21:18] <lsv> miadbahrami: search telecomix or go to telecomix.org
[21:18] <edwardpatch> hello no one talks any more :(
[21:18] <Pici> miadbahrami: What is 'ppk'?
[21:18] <Pici> edwardpatch: This channel is for support only.  If you want to chat, theres #ubuntu-offtopic.
[21:19] <nn> ugh i ./waf install the updated lv2 but the modversion still shows 3.0
[21:20] <soreau> nn: try removing lv2core package first?
[21:20] <nn> ok
[21:21] <kingfarvito> well then, lets give this a shot, is there a way to make text in xournal searchable?
[21:22] <StryKaizer> How can I save my window positions for each boot? (using gnome, no unity)
[21:23] <soreau> StryKaizer: About the best thing you can do is set windows to open in the same place each time
[21:24] <edwardpatch> i love fax
[21:24] <soreau> edwardpatch: What does this have to do with ubuntu?
[21:25] <StryKaizer> soreau, is this by rightclicking the titlebar and clicking "Always on visible workspace", or is there another setting for that?
[21:25] <StryKaizer> soreau, nvm, its defenitly somethign else :)
[21:25] <zilly> What's the easiest way to disable PulseAudio?
[21:25] <soreau> StryKaizer: If you use compiz, you can set fixed positions in ccsm>Place Windows plugin
[21:25] <nn52> Hello! I've DVD Video ( 4,2gb) i want compress to AVI (Xvid od DivX) to abount 990mb. How to? or any gui program?.
[21:25] <soreau> zilly: service pulseaudio stop?
[21:26] <zilly> soreau, thanks!
[21:26] <RobbieCrash> nn52 VLC will do it
[21:26] <nn52> VCL Player?
[21:26] <nn> hmm
[21:26] <soreau> zilly: That will only stop it, to disable it completely you probably want to uninstall it
[21:26] <StryKaizer> soreau, thx, installing ccsm now
[21:26] <nn52> RobbieCrash: VLC Plater?
[21:27] <nn52> yer*
[21:27] <zilly> soreau,  do you know if gpac installs PulseAudio?  My sound was working fine and then I installed gpac and now it doesn't work at all.  I think this is the reason why, but I'm not sure.
[21:27] <RobbieCrash> nn52, yes: http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?t=34459#p132397
[21:28] <soreau> zilly: pulseaudio is installed by default so I doubt that'd be it..
[21:28] <nn> ok i went through all the ./waf installation for lv2 but it says lv2core not found on the modversion
[21:28] <RobbieCrash> nn52 The page is talking about Mac and PC, but it's essentially the same, just substitute Ubuntu paths
[21:28] <zilly> soreau, oh, darn.  Thanks.
[21:28] <soreau> zilly: Try checking alsamixer thoroughly. Arrow keys to navigate, 'm' to (un)mute channels and F6 to switch devices
[21:29] <zilly> soreau, how would I tell if my sound driver is no longer working?
[21:30] <soreau> zilly: The driver wont just quit working if it did in the past.. check the output of 'lsmod|grep snd' to see the audio modules (drivers) loaded
[21:31] <soreau> zilly: Try 'aplay -l' to list sound devices detected
[21:31] <emet> hi
[21:31] <NotJimCarrey> isn't there a way to make a usb flash drive appear to be an external hard drive?
[21:31] <soreau> zilly: and scrutinize settings in alsamixer
[21:31] <Euvius> Hello. Question:  I have domains pointing to an Ubuntu server.  My domains are regged at GoDaddy.   I want to make it so all mail (catch all) for my domains goes to my Gmail..   DOes anyone know what I should do
[21:32] <Euvius> Oh yeah, and my DNS is at he.net
[21:33] <zilly> soraeu, well, the default in alsamixer has s/pdif and it's set at 00 with no slider.  The other one is my sound card and has the right settings (I think).
[21:33] <soreau> Euvius: Forward the emial?
[21:34] <Euvius> soreau , yes , to my Gmail
[21:34] <diki> what does it mean when i boot my PC but the grub loads instead of the OS as before?
[21:34] <tacomaster> ok sometimes my nm-applet from network manager looks alittle funny in kde because i hate wicd and i have figured out that doing a "sudo killall nm-applet" then "nm-applet" will fix the issue and am trying to make a bash script but when it gets to the "nm-applet" command i have a konsole window that i cant close is there any way to make nm-applet start in the script with out having the terminal open?
[21:34] <soreau> Euvius: Forward the emial.
[21:34] <Euvius> soreau yes, I dont know how
[21:34] <soreau> Euvius: That is really beyond the scope of this channel since your servers email is not directly related to ubuntu
[21:35] <Euvius> ok, thanks
[21:35] <soreau> tacomaster: killall nm-applet && nm-applet &
[21:37] <Ryladine> I'm trying to install my ATI drivers but it's failing to generate the installer package, it's reporting error 127 but I can't seem to find what that means. (I've never used ubuntu before and my experience with linux is extemely limited.) What does that error mean, and whats the best way to correct it? I'm running the .run file with the sh command.
[21:37] <tacomaster> soreau, ty so much do you know any good guides to learn bash better?
[21:38] <soreau> tacomaster: There's a plethora on the web. There's also #bash on this network
[21:38] <nn52> VLC not working :P
[21:38] <nn52> mit mean , converting not working
[21:38] <Garret_Thorne> Hi, folks!
[21:38] <nmvictor> I never knew KDE looks great until i tried it tonight. Wow, This is what Im sticking with, Someone tell me how I can remove all gnome apps coz I installed KDE ontop of Gnome based ubuntu and not via kubuntu.
[21:39] <soreau> Ryladine: Is there any reason you're trying the .run file and not using jockey-gtk (or just using the default radeon drivers that are installed and working by default)?
[21:39] <soreau> nmvictor: Probably remove gnome-desktop and apt-get autoremove
[21:40] <Ryladine> I've tried running minecraft and was getting an openGL error, so I went to ATI's site for drivers and thats what it gave me.
[21:40] <sburwood1> What is the best Wifi N accessory?  USB or PCI, matters not.  Do I need an antenna seperately purchased?
[21:40] <soreau> Ryladine: What is the output of 'glxinfo|grep renderer'? (after installing mesa-utils package)
[21:41] <kasi> is there a way to switch from internal audio to USB audio from the command line interface?
[21:41] <Ryladine> Like I said I've never used ubuntu so give me a minute to see if I can find how to install "mesa-utils"
[21:41] <nmvictor> Wait, why does KDE remind me of windows?
[21:41] <soreau> sburwood1: PCI cards are typically always better. You can use the antenna that comes with the card or purchase one separately if you really need one
[21:41] <yoseph> hi, does anyone know how i can 'install'  gspca_kinect on my machine?  I have kinect working with glview, but i want it to work as a normal webcam so I can use motion with it.  I'm completely lost,  I thought I downloaded the drivers i need (i.e. gspca_kinect)  but I have no clue how to install it?  (just a file called kinect.c)
[21:41] <virgil> Hi.
[21:41] <virgil> I'm kinda new here.
[21:41] <virgil> Where do I go for tech support?
[21:41] <soreau> Ryladine: sudo apt-get install mesa-utils
[21:41] <snow_ru> hi
[21:42] <soreau> virgil: Right here. Just ask your question :)
[21:42] <virgil> Okay. I'm a little bit desperate.
[21:42] <snow_ru> how to install boost <IP_ADDRESS> in ubuntu ?
[21:42] <anonissimus> I fail to record my audio output to and mp3 file, I tried parsing arecord to lame but it result is a file with barely audible audio and a huge white noise component
[21:42] <snow_ru> apt-get install always install the latest version
[21:42] <virgil> I've been trying to get Ubuntu (any distribution) to work with my laptop for a while now.
[21:42] <tacomaster> virgil, what laptop is it?
[21:42] <virgil> 11.04 and 11.10 beta 2 (the one I'm using right now) have both resulted in screen tearing on horizontal movement.
[21:43] <virgil> MSI A6000
[21:43] <soreau> snow_ru: install libboost-dev
[21:43] <virgil> Lemme check the model number right quick...
[21:43] <virgil> MS-1683
[21:43] <soreau> virgil: What is the output of 'lspci|grep VGA'?
[21:43] <sburwood1> soreau: Ok, found a PCI card that says it is supported Linux (I suppose that means every version, or at least Ubuntu), a DFE 530TX.  The question that I have for that card is whether or not I need to buy an antenna and whether it is a "draft N"  a N, a N150 or a N300 adapter
[21:43] <BarkingFish> anonissimus, What are you using to record your audio?
[21:43] <soreau> virgil: Screen tearing is almost always a graphics driver issue..
[21:43] <sunice> virgil: if you have an ubuntu question ask away
[21:43] <anonissimus> BarkingFish: arecord -f cd -t raw | lame -x -r – out.mp3
[21:43] <virgil> sudo: lscpi: command not found
[21:44] <anonissimus> this is what I do
[21:44] <nishttal2> hi all.. is there a forum for installing ubuntu on MacBook pro?
[21:44] <virgil> Am I in the wrong place for graphics driver issues?
[21:44] <soreau> sburwood1: As I said, most cards some with an antenna already included
[21:44] <BarkingFish> anonissimus, Have you actually tried using a GUI program, like audacity?
[21:44] <snow_ru> soreau, how to know the version of the installed libboost in the local machine?
[21:44] <soreau> virgil: lspci|grep VGA
[21:44] <tacomaster> virgil, ok you have a nvidia geforce 8200M G
[21:44] <anonissimus> BarkingFish: yes same results
[21:44] <soreau> virgil: you typoed
[21:44] <anonissimus> some of the inputs carry no noise others noise + faint audio part
[21:44] <Ryladine> When I run glxinfo|grep it outputs usage information, and some information about failed requests
[21:44] <virgil> oops.
[21:44] <virgil> 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation C79 [GeForce 9200M G] (rev b1)
[21:44] <tacomaster> virgil, you need to go to terminal and type jockey-gtk and install nvidia drivers
[21:45] <soreau> tacomaster: close, but no cigar ;)
[21:45] <BarkingFish> anonissimus, I do a shedload of audio editing for other organisations, including Wikipedia.  Can you upload the audio somewhere on the net and let me hear what your audio is like please?
[21:45] <soreau> virgil: Indeed, use jockey-gtk to install your drivers
[21:45] <nishttal2> anyone?
[21:45] <virgil> I have, all versions that were available in 11.04 and 11.10.
[21:45] <anonissimus> BarkingFish: shure
[21:45] <virgil> And the proprietary drivers.
[21:45] <nishttal2>  is there a forum for installing ubuntu on MacBook pro?
[21:45] <virgil> Used nvidia-xconfig each time.
[21:45] <BarkingFish> thank you. I might be able to help you if I can figure out what is going wrong for you, anonissimus
[21:46] <anonissimus> just a min
[21:46] <virgil> The closest I've gotten is very mild tearing on VLC videos, and mild-to-moderate tearing in flash videos.
[21:46] <anonissimus> need to rerecord
[21:46] <soreau> virgil: You actually need to install the driver with jockey-gtk
[21:46] <nishttal2> i was able to install ubuntu on macbook pro but there is no sound
[21:46] <tacomaster> soreau, what did i say wrong?
[21:46] <virgil> I'm confused.
 virgil, ok you have a nvidia geforce 8200M G (but the output of lspci says) <virgil> 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation C79 [GeForce 9200M G] (rev b1)
[21:47] <virgil> Do you mean install the proprietary drivers with jockey-gtk?
[21:47] <Ryladine> Did you see my response to your questions?
[21:47] <soreau> virgil: yes
[21:47] <snow_ru> ?
[21:47] <virgil> How do I do that?
[21:47] <soreau> virgil: Type this in your terminal: gksu jockey-gtk
[21:47] <tacomaster> soreau, ooo i was just telling him with the model he gave me oops :P
[21:48] <soreau> tacomaster: Yea, 'lspci|grep VGA' will tell you for sure what card(s)
[21:48] <soreau> tacomaster: specs aren't always reliably accurate
[21:48] <virgil> I see two options, though both are different from the four options I had when I first installed 11.10
[21:48] <soreau> virgil: Install the newest one
[21:49] <virgil> Ummm... I can't tell which one's newest.
[21:49] <soreau> virgil: The one with the latest version number..
[21:49] <tacomaster> virgil, the one that says recomended
[21:49] <virgil> They're both labeled as 'NVIDIA binary xorg driver, kernel module and VDPAU library'
[21:49] <virgil> I don't see a version number or 'recommended'.
[21:49] <anonissimus> BarkingFish: pmed it
[21:50] <virgil> And yeah, I know that lspci sometimes says that I have a Geforce 9200M G card.
[21:50] <soreau> virgil: Anyway, after installing the driver and rebooting, install compizconfig-settings-manager and enable Sync to Vblank in ccsm>General>OpenGL and also enable vsync in nvidia-settings
[21:51] <soreau> virgil: It always says that..
[21:51] <virgil> Already did that.
[21:51] <htlm> nishttal2 I need more details ,so what version is it
[21:51] <soreau> lspci isn't wishy washy, it gets the info from the hardware
[21:51] <fardad_> Hi, I just got a 10.4 installation disk from a friend to install ubuntu as second OS on my PC and it is asking me to login!!! do I have the right disk?
[21:51] <virgil> But I've gotten a response saying 8200m G and 9200m G at different times.
[21:51] <soreau> virgil: You already enabled vblank sync in *both* ccsm *and* nvidia-settings?
[21:51] <WaltherFI> What are the newest minimum requirements for Ubuntu?
[21:52] <WaltherFI> In terms of ram and cpu
[21:52] <virgil> Technically, I don't think there IS a 9200m G card. Just 9200m GS.
[21:52] <tacomaster> virgil, if "lspci | grep VGA" says 9200 then thats right
[21:52] <htlm> fardad_ say again?  ...
[21:52] <Ryladine> When I run glxinfo|grep it outputs usage information, and some information about failed requests
[21:52] <soreau> Ryladine: You did it wrong
[21:52] <soreau> Ryladine: glxinfo|grep renderer
[21:52] <Ryladine> Ah, didn't see the last bit of the command
[21:53] <fardad_> htlm: thaks for responding, I got and installation disk and booted my computer with it to install ubuntu, but it is askin me to login with a userid and password!
[21:53] <virgil> It doesn't seem like I've done it with this install yet.
[21:53] <virgil> The ccsm thingy.
[21:53] <virgil> Though I did that in 11.04, and it didn't seem to solve anything.
[21:53] <nishttal2> htlm.. i am running "Linux  2.6.35-30-generic #56-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jul 11 20:01:08 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[21:53] <soreau> virgil: Well nvidia sucks. Go get a radeon
[21:54] <fardad_> htlm: do I have the right disk? is this usual?
[21:54] <Ryladine> Even when I add renderer to the end of it, it still outputs the same thing
[21:54] <CT1> Hi.  My internet is down for the next 10days.  I've got a neighbours wifi key.  Can I connect my desktop(s)  (wired) to use my laptops wifi? Any links much appreciated.
[21:54] <soreau> Ryladine: which is?
[21:54] <Odaym> do I have udev on 10.04? or am I on hald?
[21:54] <soreau> Ryladine: Use pastebin.com for more than a few lines
[21:54] <soreau> ! who | Ryladine
[21:54] <nishttal2> htlm, and hardware is MacBook Pro 4,1
[21:54] <Ryladine> bad request, and a couple of opcodes about a failed request, and some serial numbers
[21:54] <Odaym> udev it seems, from doing "ls /etc/init.d/ | grep hald"
[21:55] <Odaym> I mean, udev
[21:55] <jrib> Odaym: probably both
[21:55] <WaltherFI> What are the minimum requirements for a new Ubuntu install nowadays, in terms of ram and cpu?
[21:55] <soreau> CT1: Just share the connection with network settings gui
[21:55] <soreau> CT1: And get a crossover cable if you don't have a router
[21:55] <virgil> Right... So, only solution is to get a different laptop?
[21:55] <Odaym> WaltherFI, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_%28operating_system%29#System_requirements
[21:56] <nishttal2> htlm, are you still around?
[21:56] <WaltherFI> Odaym: are those up to date?
[21:56] <virgil> Is there anyone/any room I can go to for help with this issue?
[21:56] <soreau> ! who | Ryladine
[21:56] <Odaym> check, WaltherFI; I linked you
[21:56] <virgil> I mean, I got the screen tearing to stop in 10.04, but then my wireless card wouldn't work.
[21:56] <soreau> Ryladine: I have trouble seeing your messages if you don't use my nick
[21:56] <Ryladine> soreau: bad request, and a couple of opcodes about a failed request, and some serial numbers
[21:56] <CT1> soreau: Wow! no config files? no command line, that simple?  Thankyou!
[21:56] <soreau> Ryladine: So you've already successfully broke the radeon driver by trying to install fglrx
[21:57] <abjjdks832> can someone tell me why my computer keeps freezing all the time?
[21:57] <virgil> Mix that with taking several months to get feedback on the forums, and my experience with linux hasn't been too pleasant.
[21:57] <soreau> CT1: Yep, it's easy
[21:57] <SIFTU> abjjdks832: what computer brand/model?
[21:57] <Ryladine> soreau: from what I can tell it's not even sucessfully managed to finish generating the package to install it atall... Fff I'll just reinstall the OS I suppose...
[21:58] <abjjdks832> SIFTU: IBM T60
[21:58] <soreau> Ryladine: 1) Run the uninstall script(s) in /usr/share/ati/ 2) Remove fglrx using jockey-gtk 3) Remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf if it exists 4) Reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx and -dri packages 5) Reboot
[21:58] <soreau> Ryladine: 6) Show the output of 'glxinfo|grep renderer'
[21:58] <SIFTU> abjjdks832: hmm so an older one
[21:58] <htlm> nishttal2 yes im lookin about ...
[21:59] <nishttal2> htlm, ok
[21:59] <abjjdks832> I'd really appreciate some explanation or how to diagnose this, because I'm sick of it
[21:59] <abjjdks832> about to go on an anti ubuntu campaign and never use it again, it's ridiculous
[21:59] <abjjdks832> I visit a web page, whole computer freezes
[21:59] <abjjdks832> since when does a userspace process run away and take down teh whole system in linux?
[21:59] <soreau> abjjdks832: Just calm down..
[22:00] <virgil> Yeah. Still getting screen tearing when I try to play this video- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRe9ykSfXyQ
[22:00] <soreau> abjjdks832: A system freeze is almost always a problem with a kernel driver module.. most commonly, graphics or wifi
[22:00] <virgil> Also, blip.tv movies seem very choppy.
[22:00] <soreau> abjjdks832: Can you pastebin the output of 'lspci && lsusb && lsmod'?
[22:00] <soreau> abjjdks832: to pastebin.com
[22:00] <SIFTU> abjjdks832: and you have run memtest for a few hours?
[22:00] <htlm> Sorry yall im helping im still here
[22:01] <soreau> abjjdks832: and yes, you should run memtest overnight and see if it reports any errors
[22:01] <soreau> faulty memory can cause all kinds of strange issues
[22:01] <abjjdks832> uhm
[22:02] <fardad_> htlm: thaks for responding, I got and installation disk and booted my computer with it to install ubuntu, but it is askin me to login with a userid and password!
[22:02] <fardad_> htlm: do I have the right disk? is this usual?
[22:02] <abjjdks832> ...
[22:02] <abjjdks832> why do those programs not print to stdout?  I tried to do all of it and pipe through pastebinit and only lsmod shows up
[22:02] <htlm> abjjdks832  whats you freaking out for ?
[22:03] <soreau> abjjdks832: Because they're actually three separate programs
[22:03] <abjjdks832> soreau: I know that, thanks.
[22:03] <soreau> abjjdks832: Then why did you ask..
[22:03] <abjjdks832> I guess you can't foo && bar | foobar
[22:03] <JokesOnYou77> Hi all.  Can anyone help me get rid of unity and the launcher, without losing compiz?
[22:03] <Baribal> Hi. I want to make a short movie about how to use git with a lot of animated diagrams. What program would you recommend to make/render those animations? (2D strongly preferred, I'd really rather not learn Blender for this.)
[22:04] <soreau> ! classic | JokesOnYou77
[22:04] <abjjdks832> anyway, this should be it:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/698761/
[22:05] <JokesOnYou77> soreau: When I go back to Classic, I loose my desktop cube and other compiz effects, or at least I can't figure out how to make them work
[22:05] <Promille> Any idea when FireFox 7.0 will be available in Synaptic?
[22:05] <soreau> abjjdks832: Have you tried unplugging all usb devices except keyboard and mouse?
[22:05] <abjjdks832> JokesOnYou77: just a guess, but what about alt-F2, and 'compiz --replace' ?
[22:06] <soreau> abjjdks832: That wont work right in a unity session
[22:06] <abjjdks832> soreau: he said he's in classic.
[22:06] <Palace_Chan> any way to listen to a socket on the commandline?
[22:06] <soreau> JokesOnYou77: Go to classic gnome and I will help you in #compiz
[22:06] <nishttal2> htlm, microphone seems to be working as in sound preferences I see the bar moving when there is any noise
[22:06] <abjjdks832> soreau: no, why would I do that?  I don't have any usb devices besides keyboard and mouse
[22:06] <soreau> abjjdks832: You're not paying attention
[22:06] <groktar> i'm trying to save the current date to a variable in bash.   current_date=date +"%Y%m%d" is throwing an error.  anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
[22:06] <abjjdks832> oh, I have a mcu programmer plugged in
[22:06] <soreau> abjjdks832: So your fingerprint reader is built-in?
[22:06] <abjjdks832> soreau: yes
[22:07] <soreau> abjjdks832: What about Texas Instruments, Inc. eZ430 Development Tool ?
[22:07] <JokesOnYou77> soreau: Thanks, I'll meet you there in a minute
[22:07] <abjjdks832> that's a mcu programmer
[22:07] <nishttal2> htlm, i also see the speaker icon in the tray which usually means the sound card is installed.. i just dont hear anything :(
[22:07] <deutscher83> Hey guys I have a question about XFCE Ubuntu.     Thanks you all!! :)
[22:11] <SIFTU> abjjdks832: ok
[22:11] <abjjdks832> What sort of special person is soreau that he gets to call people idiots without being banned?
[22:12] <soreau> Baribal: Please get him off my back
[22:12] <abjjdks832> JokesOnYou77: just like I said it would eh?
[22:12] <SIFTU> abjjdks832: have you checked you kernel logs after the freezes?
[22:12] <rubyr41n> is yum the best way to install software packages?
[22:12] <Baribal> soreau, just /ignore him and it's done...
[22:12] <JokesOnYou77> abjjdks832: yep :)
[22:12] <abjjdks832> SIFTU: no, how do I do that?
[22:12] <Gentoo64> rubyr41n, on ubuntu?
[22:13] <rubyr41n> yes
[22:13] <Pelo> rubyr41n,  yum is the prefered package manager for redhat,  this isubuntu , we use apt
[22:13] <SIFTU> abjjdks832: /var/log/messages & /var/log/kernel.log
[22:13] <abjjdks832> messages: No such file or directory
[22:14] <rubyr41n> Pelo, thank you
[22:14] <SIFTU> abjjdks832: or i think they renamed it.. /var/log/syslog
[22:14] <abjjdks832> I have a 'kern.log' ..
[22:15] <SIFTU> abjjdks832: ok good, that ones you can check.. you should also have a syslog
[22:15] <JamesMiddendorff> hello how much space does the netbook remix use on a hard drive?
[22:15] <Gentoo64> JamesMiddendorff, i think thats merged into standard ubuntu
[22:15] <h00k> JamesMiddendorff: netbook remix has been merged into Ubuntu. They use the same interface now.
[22:16] <abjjdks832> syslog:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/698767/   kern.log:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/698768/
[22:16] <NaikInsaan> is it possible to remote desktop into a machine running windows 7?
[22:16] <JamesMiddendorff> h00k, Gentoo64, so if I have a 2gb hard drive it wont install on it then right?
[22:17] <Gentoo64> doubt it
[22:17] <Gentoo64> 2gb is low
[22:17] <h00k> JamesMiddendorff: I think it fully installs to more than 2gb, yeah.
[22:17] <Gentoo64> prob need about 6gb for ubuntu
[22:17] <h00k> !requirements | JamesMiddendorff
[22:17] <abjjdks832> NaikInsaan: yes, it's under apps > internet.  or if you are using unity open menu type 'terminal'
[22:18] <abjjdks832> SIFTU:  18:17:43 up 40 min,  anything before that would be when it last froze
[22:18] <SIFTU> abjjdks832: well there is something of note in there
[22:19] <abjjdks832> SIFTU: praise the FSM .. please share
[22:19] <SIFTU> abjjdks832: well not sure if it's normal but see all the wifi errors in kern.log
[22:20] <Promille> I remember there was a script for fetching the _real_ url's to podcasts in iTunes. It was a perl script, but I cant find it anymore? Anyone wanna help a poor fellow :) ?
[22:20] <Tekin_> Hi
[22:20] <SIFTU> abjjdks832: with the iwl3945 driver
[22:20] <Tekin_> First off - Ubuntu's behavior of resetting the MOTD after an update, is just annoying.
[22:21] <Tekin_> I replaced my backup update-motd.d files, removed old motd files, and still I can't get any MOTD
[22:21] <Tekin_> can someone help me out getting my MOTD updating again?
[22:21] <deadpool> how can I disable my touchpad in ubuntu
[22:21] <histo> Tekin_: have you searched for bugs
[22:21] <Tekin_> histo: yes
[22:21] <abjjdks832> it's not just /etc/motd ?
[22:21] <abjjdks832> Ubuntu really likes to break standard things :/
[22:21] <Tekin_> unfortunately
[22:22] <Tekin_> it's in update-motd.d
[22:22] <histo> That's why I no longer use ubuntu
[22:22] <BarkingFish> Guys - I need to handover to someone with Gnome experience - I've listened to the problems anonissimus has with his sound, and i suspect he doesn't have his sound setup properly for audio capture.
[22:23] <abjjdks832> BarkingFish: the guys in #ALSA might be able to help
[22:23] <BarkingFish> Unfortunately, since I'm not a gnomer, I have no idea how to set the sound up and do all the volume levels and so on, so if someone would be kind enough to take anonissimus through sound setup, switching on his capture and stuff, that'd be great.
[22:23] <conntrack-> haha anonissimus
[22:24] <NaikInsaan> don't have terminal but would like to remote desktop into a machine running windows
[22:24] <Tekin_> so there's no way I can get MOTD working again?
[22:24] <BarkingFish> conntrack-, that's not particularly helpful. If you've nothing to say that can assist, kindly take it to #ubuntu-offtopic.
[22:24] <Tekin_> it used to work?
[22:24] <BarkingFish> We help here, we don't laugh at people :)
[22:24] <conntrack-> Sorry the name is funny
[22:24] <deadpool> I can't seem to disable touchpad
[22:24] <deadpool> how can I do it
[22:25] <techcrisis> sup all
[22:25] <SIFTU> abjjdks832: I PMed some links
[22:25] <abjjdks832> SIFTU: yea I see
[22:26] <abjjdks832> NaikInsaan: I told you before..  use terminal server client
[22:26] <sean__> is there away to install windows realtek driver?
[22:26] <Gentoo64> sean__, no
[22:26] <sean__> not even wine?
[22:26] <Gentoo64> no
[22:26] <sean__> Gentoo64,  how do u reinstall alsa?
[22:26] <SIFTU> abjjdks832: do you suspend your comp
[22:26] <abjjdks832> sean__: look into ndiswrapper
[22:26] <abjjdks832> SIFTU: no, never
[22:27] <BarkingFish> sean__, what are you trying to run with the realtek driver? Internal or external wireless?
[22:27] <HagopH_> Is somebody available who can help me? I'm trying (and failing) to create a bootable Ubuntu USB flash drive.
[22:28] <abjjdks832> Is there any chance instability is related to encrypted home directory?
[22:28] <Gentoo64> shouldnt be
[22:28] <sean__> no no im tryin to install audio drivers.. because alsa is being dumb and i have to keep reconf hda analyzer
[22:28] <Gentoo64> instability how?
[22:28] <BarkingFish> sean__, in that case, Gentoo64 is spot on.
[22:28] <sean__> BarkingFish,  whats the way to reinstall alsa then?
[22:28] <BarkingFish> You can't use windows drivers to power linux audio devices, sorry sean__
[22:29] <SIFTU> abjjdks832: to me it looks like that kernel and your wirelss driver.. are you running 2.6.38 like everyone else with w T60 and having that problem
[22:29] <kosaidpo> hello guys
[22:29] <kosaidpo> how can i use httrack to dl only the ww.site.com/target the file under taget DIR
[22:29] <BarkingFish> I have no idea, unfortunately.  But I'm sure someone in here will be able to tell you, sean__ - I had to ask myself a month back, and I've forgotten :)
[22:29] <abjjdks832> $ uname -r
[22:29] <abjjdks832> 2.6.38-11-generic
[22:29] <Gentoo64> sean__, why do you need to? im not sure what command it is but its just a package
[22:29] <E3D3> On the downloadpage 32bits-version is recommended ? Even for a Centrino CPU & 4 GB RAM ?
[22:30] <Gentoo64> E3D3, it says that so noobs dont use 64 bit on a 32 cpu
[22:30] <sean__> Gentoo64,  because the sound isnt working.. now AT all restarted and tryed to put my model in the alsa-base.conf and nothing is working
[22:30] <sean__> Gentoo64,  so there for i want to reinstall alsa
[22:30] <abjjdks832> E3D3: you'll save yourself headaches if you use 32bit
[22:31] <kosaidpo> hello how can i use httrack to dl only the ww.site.com/target the file under taget DIR
[22:31] <Gentoo64> sean__, doubt reinstalling alsa would help. no harm in trying though... if only i knew the command
[22:31] <abjjdks832> I think linux has some workarounds to use > 4gB RAM in 32bit systems
[22:31] <Gentoo64> yes pae
[22:31] <Tekin_> this is bogus
[22:31] <emet> PAE
[22:31] <Gentoo64> but 64 bit is better
[22:31] <Tekin_> ubuntu is wasting my time
[22:31] <emet> ubuntu 32-bit uses PAE by default
[22:31] <abjjdks832> "better" is highly subjective
[22:31] <HagopH> Is somebody available who can help me? I'm trying (and failing) to create a bootable Ubuntu USB flash drive.
[22:31] <emet> it can use up to 64 GB of RAM
[22:31] <sean__> Gentoo64,  well do u know a way to make the settings form hda-analyzer.diff start up on ubuntu?
[22:31] <Gentoo64> 64 bit is the norm nowadays
[22:31] <MonkeyDust> HagopH: try unetbootin
[22:31] <SIFTU> abjjdks832: I would try the fix in this thread and see what it does https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=688252
[22:32] <kosaidpo> HagopH: use unbootin
[22:32] <Gentoo64> why use 32 on a 64 cpu
[22:32] <Gentoo64> except if you had really low ram
[22:32] <sean__> Gentoo64,  the .diff file is just settings i made for the codec... which is in proc/asound/cards/
[22:32] <HagopH> I did.
[22:32] <emet> next version of ubuntu is improving 32-bit support
[22:32] <emet> in 64-bit ubuntu
[22:32] <MonkeyDust> HagopH: try MultiSystem
[22:32] <emet> brb
[22:32] <kosaidpo> so whtas the error u gettin HagopH
[22:32] <Gentoo64> emet, as in how?
[22:32] <Gentoo64> multilib stuff?
[22:32] <HagopH> I tried unetbootin-windows-555.exe, Universal-USB-Installer-<IP_ADDRESS>.exe, and live-usb-install-2.3.1.exe.
[22:32] <SIFTU> Gentoo64: some people do for things like flash support and just general lower memory usage
[22:33] <Gentoo64> yea i suppose with v low ram
[22:33] <Gentoo64> it makes sense
[22:33] <HagopH> After using live-usb-install-2.3.1.exe to create bootable USB flash drive with ubuntu-11.04-desktop-i386.iso:
[22:33] <HagopH> SYSLINUX 3.83 2009-10-05 CBIOS Copyright (C) 1994-2009 H. Peter Anvin et al
[22:33] <HagopH> Could not find kernel image: linux
[22:33] <Gentoo64> flash has native 64 now properly updated (afaik)
[22:33] <MonkeyDust> HagopH: that's win stuff, you're in the wrong channel
[22:33] <SIFTU> Gentoo64: 64bit linux does have at least 10% higher memory footprint
[22:33] <abjjdks832> last time I tried to get flash working on 64bit it was a nightmare
[22:33] <kosaidpo> HagopH: do you point the unbootin to the iso image ?
[22:33] <HagopH> I'm using Windows to create my Ubuntu installation USB flash drive.
[22:34] <Gentoo64> abjjdks832, ah ive had flash working fine
[22:34] <HagopH> Yes, I point unbootin to the ISO.
[22:34] <MonkeyDust> HagopH: no support for win stuff here
[22:34] <HagopH> The flash drive I am trying to boot with *is* Ubuntu.
[22:35] <MonkeyDust> HagopH: the program is not ubuntu
[22:35] <OerHeks> HagopH, what format is the usb ext 3/4 ?
[22:35] <emet> MonkeyDust: he's trying to install ubuntu..\
[22:35] <OerHeks> HagopH, make sure it is fat 16/32
[22:35] <MonkeyDust> emet: he's trying to use a win program to make a bootable drive
[22:35] <HagopH> It is FAT32.
[22:35] <Gentoo64> unetbootin is win and linux
[22:35] <Gentoo64> no need to be harsh lol
[22:35] <Nisstyre> I would tend to disagree with that viewpoint
[22:35] <emet> bootable UBUNTU drive
[22:35] <emet> lol
[22:35] <MonkeyDust> Gentoo64: yes, but he's using the .exe
[22:36] <Gentoo64> so? its the same program
[22:36] <MonkeyDust> Gentoo64: win != linux
[22:36] <HagopH> How do I create a USB bootable Ubuntu disk if my only active system is Windows?
[22:36] <Gentoo64> MonkeyDust, why you being an arse though?
[22:36] <IdleOne> HagopH: download and install unetbootin
[22:36] <HagopH> I can get to the "boot: " prompt.
[22:36] <emet> HagopH: I dunno you use unetbootin, you might need to format your usb stick first tho as fat32
[22:37] <HagopH> But Ubuntu stops there.
[22:37] <Gentoo64> not helping him get ubuntu up and running, because hes running unetbootin on windows
[22:37] <MonkeyDust> Gentoo64: basically, he's asking how something works in win
[22:37] <xtor_> Does kernel.org have any ftp or http mirrors where I can download any kernel from? I just need a kernel tarball in order to run memtest.sh
[22:37] <HagopH> I AM NOT ASKING HOW SOMETHING WORKS IN WIN!
[22:37] <HagopH> I have the USB formatted and booting to Ubuntu.
[22:37] <Gentoo64> HagopH, it should auto format the drive
[22:37] <HagopH> It just stops at the "boot: " prompt.
[22:38] <HagopH> That's not Windows.
[22:38] <HagopH> It *does* autoformat the drive.
[22:38] <Gentoo64> HagopH, try another usb thing like pendrivelinux
[22:38] <Gentoo64> unetbootin does work fine but the other one might work for you
[22:38] <SIFTU> HagopH: there is something wrong with the usb image then.. the bootloader cant find the kernel
[22:38] <OerHeks> HagopH, did you check the md5sum of the iso ?
[22:38] <HagopH> Pendrivelinux tells me to use Universal-USB-Installer-<IP_ADDRESS>.exe, which I tried.
[22:38] <Gentoo64> HagopH, same thing?
[22:39] <samhitha> I lost my windows o/s after installing ubuntu 11.04, can someone help me recovering windows files
[22:39] <Gentoo64> samhitha, did you format the win partition?
[22:39] <HagopH> Yes. I've tried two different Ubuntu distributions: ubuntu-11.04-desktop-i386.iso and ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso.
[22:39] <BarkingFish> HagopH, Silly question, i know - but have you actually set up your BIOS to boot from USB?
[22:39] <samhitha> no
[22:39] <Gentoo64> samhitha, how did you lose the os then?
[22:39] <SIFTU> BarkingFish: its hitting the mbr
[22:40] <BarkingFish> SIFTU, so it's picking up the USB boot record, but not going any further, right?
[22:40] <samhitha> While installing ubuntu, I selected parallet o/s and allocated available partition
[22:40] <HagopH> Yes, BarkingFish, I have. With no flash drive inserted in USB port: Boot Failure<cr>Reboot and Select proper Boot device<cr>or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device<cr>Press any key when ready
[22:40] <yggdrasil> how do i find out what version of ubuntu i have ?
[22:40] <SIFTU> BarkingFish: yes
[22:40] <HagopH> Yes.
[22:41] <samhitha> after the install it is directly landing to ubuntu
[22:41] <HagopH> And that's not a silly question. Everything I'm reading suggests there are BIOS and FAT issues with this, but gives no solutions.
[22:42] <Gentoo64> HagopH, have you not got a cd drive?
