[05:54] <notlistening> bfig I think that ir most likely is a faulty touchpad
[05:54] <Yoss> TheDuke, seen in once, reinstalling ubuntu fixed it
[05:54] <bfig> damn... this pc has been a boon. failing usbs, failing touchpad.
[05:54] <TheDuke> yoss, you're a life saver
[05:54] <bullgard4_> Lint: I do not know how a for loop an d sudo are connected with each other. Sorry.
[05:55] <notlistening> bfig, do you have a spare usb mouse?
[05:55] <TheDuke> yoss, how do i get rid of grub right?
[05:55] <theadmin> new1: We have a lot of programs in the Ubuntu Software Center which you can find in the menu
[05:55] <bfig> notlistening, if only the usbs were working right....
[05:55] <Yoss> TheDuke, update if it helped
[05:55] <anthony> I will still be able to watch flash videos with 64 bit 11.04 i assume ?
[05:55] <vooze> theadmin: sorry to ask you again, but after i did what you said, it seems its still unity2d after i logged in and out (it was ofcouse successful in terminal when installing) is there somthing i'm missing?
[05:55] <TheDuke> yos,, i sure will
[05:55] <TheDuke> yoss*
[05:55] <theadmin> vooze: You have to reboot the vm
[05:55] <bfig> notlistening, i'll have to drive this piece of garbage to service. hopefully i'll get it fixed (or replaced). thankfully the hdd is intact :)
 windows-equivalents? sorry, but i'm transitioning from xp pro.
[05:56] <vooze> theadmin: ah okay, thats why i'll try it ;) thank you again
[05:56] <theadmin> new1: Well... Check alternativeto.net
[05:56] <bfig> notlistening, thanks for helping me understand the problem. good bye
[05:56] <notlistening> bfig it is quite old..?
[05:56] <bfig> nothings1ecial, it's an e-350
 thanks.
[05:56] <bfig> so it's pretty new
[05:56] <bfig> (5 months maybe?)
[05:57] <notlistening> 5 months old?
[05:57] <bfig> it had problems from day 1
[05:57] <bfig> usbs only partially working....
[05:57] <notlistening> yeah get it replaced
 my auto-updates don't seem to work properly. i have to start it manually.
[05:58] <administrator> join
[05:58] <anthony> be back on 64 bit
[05:58] <anthony> :D
[05:58] <theadmin> new1: Well, Ubuntu does not auto-update if I recall right
[05:58] <bfig> well, gotta sleep. thanks for everything notlistening
[05:58] <mokti> jamiewan: I "fixed" it
[05:58] <notlistening> bfig your welcome
[05:58] <Yoss> it  should tell you that there are updated ready
[05:58] <notlistening> not that i helped much
[05:58] <jamiewan> mokti: go
[05:58] <Yoss> and you should install them
[05:58] <new1> the update manager starts on it's own sometimes when i boot up.
[05:58] <jamiewan> mokti: what was it?
[05:58] <Yoss> that means that you have updates
[05:58] <Yoss> ready to be installed
[05:58] <Yoss> new1^
[05:59] <theadmin> new1: The update manager is weird
[05:59] <mokti> jamiewan: my video card
[05:59] <theadmin> new1: If I were you I'd delete that stuff altogether and just use apt-get to update, but then again I'm not a new user
[05:59] <notlistening> saywhat have you tried looking at the dmesg output when you are going through various stages of the process
[05:59] <mokti> jamiewan: it uses NVIDIA Optimus, which causes problems, so I changed it in the BIOS
[05:59] <Yoss> at least for me it is
[05:59] <new1> ok. but everytime i run it like that, it gives me an error message. but when i run it manually, it runs fine.
[05:59] <jamiewan> mokti: sweet, well done
[05:59] <notlistening> saywhat do you have ethernet and wifi connected at the same time?
[06:00] <TTR45> hello
[06:00] <saywhat> yes
[06:00] <TTR45> i'm looking for a word in a file but i don't know the file location
[06:00] <notlistening> so disconnect all if you can
[06:00] <TTR45> what do i type in the temrinal ?
[06:00] <saywhat> notlistening, yes i think that is the problem
[06:00] <notlistening> then plugin the wifi and connect and try again
[06:00] <TTR45> grep then what ?
[06:01] <saywhat> notlistening, i dont want to black list the pci, in anticipation i wont be able to ever get the connectionback.lol
[06:01] <nisstyre> I would tend to disagree with that viewpoint
[06:01] <notlistening> I have tested ubuntu with wifi and ethernet together and it works in theory
[06:01] <Moshanator> ttr45: find / | grep myword
[06:01] <notlistening> lol saywhat don't blacklist it
[06:01] <TTR45> moshanator so find / | will search all the harddisk ?
[06:01] <notlistening> just pull the cable out
[06:01] <Moshanator> ttr45, yes
[06:01] <saywhat> they are both supported. I have no idea why the usb pick s up signals but cant connect
[06:02] <theadmin> TTR45: Actually, all of mounted drives and partitions
[06:02] <Moshanator> you can also search some dfolder instead of /
[06:02] <Moshanator> *folder
[06:02] <notlistening> ahh now can't connect is different from connected and can't ping
[06:03] <saywhat> when i say cant connect i mean firefox
[06:03] <notlistening> so you have a wifi router?
[06:03] <saywhat> i can ping but i'm not sure if its pinging from my pci which is what i'm connected to right now
[06:03] <saywhat> i have an internal wifi card and a external
[06:03] <TTR45> Moshanator the word is in a file
[06:03] <notlistening> pull the cable out
[06:03] <saywhat> i'm trying to get the external going
[06:03] <TTR45> so what do i type again? find / | ?
[06:03] <Moshanator> ttr45, right, noticed that myself
[06:03] <saywhat> ok
[06:04] <Lint> how to execute bash for loop with sudo?
[06:04] <theadmin> Lint: You can't really. Do a "sudo -i" first
[06:04] <theadmin> Lint: That will open an administrative shell
[06:04] <Moshanator> ttr45, does it have to be the terminal?
[06:04] <theadmin> Lint: Work from there
[06:05] <Moshanator> gnome has a search tool you could use
[06:06] <saywhat> wait out of the router?
[06:07] <notlistening> saywhat what does that mean?
[06:07] <saywhat> i mean i can pull the usb wireless card connected and it wont do anything
[06:08] <saywhat> i'll still have connection via my pci internal card
[06:08] <notlistening> ah okay so they are both wirles
[06:08] <saywhat> but  i would like to put the external to use as it has a longer range
[06:08] <notlistening> wireless
[06:08] <saywhat> no one is internal
[06:08] <saywhat> the one i can connect on is internal
[06:08] <notlistening> okay are you using ubuntu?
[06:09] <saywhat> blackbutu
[06:09] <saywhat> buntu
[06:09] <Moshanator> ttr45, grep -lir "myword" /in/this/dir will work
[06:10] <notlistening> Okay so you are familiar with network manager?
[06:10] <saywhat> somewhat yes
[06:10] <notlistening> lol okay
[06:11] <notlistening> try going and unselecting your internet card and then select the external card
[06:12] <saywhat> yes i've done that in the past. however it says there has been a connection established shows full bars and yet nothing when i try to connect http
[06:12] <notlistening> right well when you have it configured like that you can begin to diagnose the problem
[06:13] <notlistening> but i guess you can no longer use irc?
[06:13] <megamini> How do I use iPhone 3GS USB tethering with ubuntu 11.04 ?
[06:13] <saywhat> yes
[06:14] <saywhat> the first time i installed buntu i was able to connect with the usb
[06:14] <saywhat> now nothing
[06:14] <notlistening> okay get both interfaces up and running
[06:14] <saywhat> plus i rm windows right off the partition so...
[06:14] <saywhat> ok
[06:15] <saywhat> they are both showing as being conected
[06:16] <notlistening> say what can you pm?
[06:16] <andrewh192> http://pastebin.com/egUeQcRj
[06:16] <andrewh192> anyone have any helpful responses to that?
[06:16] <bitwise> hiho
[06:17] <lotuspsychje> how can i see if the webkit exploits have been patched in natty?

[06:18] <Xcalibar> hi all
[06:19] <notlistening> ...?
[06:19] <notlistening> I wanted to pm you then you can show me the output
[06:19] <notlistening> what irc client you using?
[06:20] <Xcalibar> i have ubuntu unity 11.04 , whenever i click the Ubuntu start button on the top left it will fill up my screen and i wouldnt be able to see the bottom right cornor where i can maximize the unity
[06:21] <Yoss> Xcalibar, did you like unity? if not, use ubuntu classic which is gnome
[06:21] <Xcalibar> what button is to take screenshot so i can show u
[06:21] <Yoss> a lot of people disliked it but didnt knew that they could switch
[06:21] <Moshanator> Xcalibar: print screen
[06:21] <Yoss> Xcalibar: PrtSc button
[06:21] <Xcalibar> Yoss, i like the unity interface , i am a mature person , ( sorry print screen button doesnt work whenever i click the start button )
[06:21] <methods1> any more ubuntu laptop sites like system76 ?
[06:22] <Moshanator> Xcalibar: strange, i just tried, works
[06:22] <Xcalibar> click the start button on the left top side
[06:22] <Xcalibar> the Ubuntu Circle do u guys call it start?
[06:22] <Moshanator> we call it dash, i think
[06:22] <Moshanator> at least Canonical does
[06:23] <Xcalibar> Yoss, Unity is sure universal GUI , i have a macbook pro and i use unity for my work , i still feel im at home , i just use my mac os for the battery life when im in the train or the plane
[06:23] <jamiewan> Xcalibar: hit it then type take screenshot and the icon should become visible
[06:25] <Xcalibar> jamiewan, doesnt work , come to my teamviewer if u have teamviewer any1 is welcome to join 169 684 861
[06:25] <saywhat> ok
[06:25] <Yoss> Xcaliber, personally i found it not so useful
[06:25] <Yoss> the launcher was made with no thoughts of usability what so ever.
[06:25] <notlistening> poor say what :D
[06:25] <Xcalibar> pass is 1934  , i am using my pc now , unity is great on my mac no problems
[06:26] <saywhat> using xchat
[06:26] <notlistening> look top right and see me messaging you
[06:26] <notlistening> sorry left
[06:27] <Xcalibar> Yoss, if u have used mac os x , this is exactly the same , infact i have my mac os x dock on the left side
[06:27] <Lint> my ubuntu session is bloated to 214 MB, how can I trim it to reasonable size?
[06:27] <jamiewan> Xcalibar: i running ubuntu on macbook too, its cool aye
[06:28] <Yoss> I hate mac, and just about anything apple makes lol
[06:28] <Xcalibar> 1 thing that surprises me is when i click on the xchat icon from the unity , it wont minimize
[06:28] <Yoss> GNU/Linux ideology is better :)
[06:28] <urlin2u> Yoss, they have medication for that now. ;-)
[06:28] <Xcalibar> jamiewan, im for flexibility , and open source , i like the idea that i feel i have a mac os running with everything free and more powerful
[06:29] <Yoss> urlin2u, lol, i just think that apple is stealing from people
[06:29] <Yoss> and would prefer open source over an apple product any day :P
[06:29] <jamiewan> Xcalibar: screw mac and windows, just good hardware i like lol, ubuntu works great on all systems i've got
[06:29] <Moshanator> yoss, pragmatism/ideology tends to be a sliding scale, also, it's kinda #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:30] <jamiewan> Xcalibar: and yeah open source is the way, freedom, truth and all the other shite :-)
[06:31] <K-Rich> heil linux and rms
[06:31] <K-Rich> ...or something.
[06:32] <Yoss> well, ubuntu offtopic is more suiting, so i'm there if anybody wants to talk about "ideology of Linux and mac " :P
[06:32] <Xcalibar> Yoss, we can take it to the offtopic if u want , but usually Ubuntu users from Professionals like to use terminal to do their work , forexample when ssh'ing or when copying files or moving it.. and if u tell them about KDE or better GUI they will dislike that , if u want to know about peoples opinion , look at it broadly , i believe it requires practice thats all , but no one wants to go back to oldschool , they want a newschool push for everything thats
[06:32] <Xcalibar>  the fact of life today
[06:33] <jamiewan> Xcalibar: most ubuntu'ers would be cli users i think to a great degree
[06:33] <bazhang> !ot | Xcalibar
[06:35] <Lint> !nick

[06:55] <johwil> anthony, rigth click on the windows menu-bar.

[06:55] <anthony> sweet
[06:55] <anthony> thx
[06:56] <Astrology> which package does the command "acpiconf" belongs to ?
[06:56] <urlin2u> mokti, here is alink install ubuntu tweak it has a ppa remover that is the easiest. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/29584/safely-remove-ppas-and-roll-back-to-stable-versions-in-ubuntu/
[06:56] <jamiewan> anthony: or if you have cube installed you can just drag window around the screen edges
[06:56] <mokti> urlin2u: they are not listed anywhere in my computer?\
[06:57] <urlin2u> mokti, ubuntu tweak has alot of other tools that are great as well
[06:57] <urlin2u> mokti, they are but lets make this easy eh.
[06:58] <johwil> I need help in creating an install file for devkitpro on ubuntu. Anyone? http://devkitpro.org/wiki/Getting_Started/devkitARM
[06:58] <urlin2u> mokti, they are in /etc/apt/sources.list.d
[06:58] <tsimpson> mokti: find the file with the ppa name(s) in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ or use the GUI software sources manager
[06:59] <dc5ala> Astrology, you can ask dpkg -S
[06:59] <mokti> urlin2u: thanks
[06:59] <mokti> tsimpson: thanks
[06:59] <Astrology> dc5ala: not found
[07:00] <urlin2u> mokti, no problem, I use ubuntu tweak even though I know how to remove this stuff and do otherthings it offers.
[07:00] <Astrology> dc5ala: it's for installed, but my command is not installed, so I  need to install that package to use command "acpiconf"
[07:02] <mokti> Is there a way for me to roll back my machine to an hour or two ago?
[07:02] <hid3> Hello everyone. Any ideas if Apache2 in Lucid (10.10) is vulnerable to the Range bug?
[07:03] <lotuspsychje> how can i check if webkit exploits are patched in natty?
[07:03] <mokti> Is there a way for me to roll back my video card drivers at least?
[07:05] <mokti> also, my power icon (top right) dissapeared... how do I get it back?
[07:05] <xander> Hi everyone,
[07:05] <hid3> Anyone awake?
[07:06] <Guoqing> sorry don't know
[07:06] <Astrology> how to search a package which is needed by command "acpiconf" ?
[07:06] <Yoss> motki,  system --> administration --> preferences -> power management --> general
[07:06] <urlin2u> mokti, ubuntu doesn't have a rollback function, but you can remove stuff, and change the driver.  Have you logged out or rebooted to see if it fixes your problems?
[07:06] <Xcalibar> i got a unity problem , whnever i click the start button , the window appears to bypass my screen resolution from the right side
[07:06] <Yoss> always display icon
[07:06] <Yoss> if you meant that
[07:06] <xander> I installed Firefox 6 on maverick through firefox release ppa, but about:support says "GPU Accelerated Windows 0/1".
[07:06] <dc5ala> Astrology, ah okay, you may try http://packages.ubuntu.com/
[07:06] <mokti> urlin2u: yes
[07:07] <xander> I thought hw acceleration on GNU/Linux was a go in FF6? I'm using nV blob 280.13
[07:07] <tobago> which is the best tool for creating dvd's from an avi (whatever encryption) file?
[07:07] <Astrology> dc5ala: I tried it, not found, I use package name search and description search too.
[07:07] <urlin2u> mokti, have you been messing with compiz?
[07:07] <mokti> urlin2u: no, NVIDIA drivers
[07:08] <urlin2u> mokti, where did you get the driver from?
[07:08] <dc5ala> Astrology, on debian that file was in package freebsd-utils
[07:08] <mokti> I want to go back to the default settings/driver to display at the correct resolution (unless you can help me with that :) )
[07:08] <Yoss> does not Jockie auto-detects?
[07:08] <Astrology> dc5ala: thanks for you advise , a good way now.
[07:08] <mokti> urlin2u: want to go back to the default settings/driver to display at the correct resolution (unless you can help me with that :) )
[07:09] <urlin2u> mokti, graphic drivers are not really something I'm real familiar with all my computers work out of the gate.
[07:09] <xander> No hardware acceleration on maverick with Firefox 6 + nVIDIA?
[07:11] <dc5ala> mokti, have you tried changing your desktop resolution via System -> Settings menu?
[07:11] <mokti> yes
[07:11] <mokti> dc5ala: yes
[07:11] <mokti> dc5ala: it doesn't show the highest resolution
[07:12] <mokti> dc5ala: which is why I think I need to rollback the video card driver, but I don't know how
[07:12] <dc5ala> mokti, what driver are you using?
[07:12] <mokti> im not sure right now...
[07:12] <tobago> i want to burn a 6 gb movie onto dvd. that is why i'd have to low down the quality a little for fitting onto dvd. which tool to use?
[07:13] <mokti> dc5ala: I think it might be nvidia_current
[07:13] <Xcalibar> i got a unity problem , whnever i click the start button , the window appears to bypass my screen resolution from the right side , any solutions i tried gsettings set com.canonical.Unity form-factor
[07:14] <dc5ala> mokti, maybe you can paste your /var/log/Xorg.0.log to http://paste.ubuntu.com
[07:14] <mokti> dc5ala: I was following a troubleshooting forum post, and at one point I ran "sudo apt-get purge nvidia-*" and "sudo apt-get purge xserver-xorg-video-nouveau"
[07:15] <mokti> dc5ala: okay, hold on
[07:16] <dc5ala> mokti, you could try reinstall nvidia-current then
[07:16] <xander> No one using Firefox 6 with nVIDIA hardware?
[07:16] <urlin2u> tobago, handbrake will convert it if it is not drm locked, and reduce the size as well I believe.
[07:16] <mokti> http://paste.ubuntu.com/675795/
[07:16] <mokti> dc5ala: I think nvidia-current is the wrong one
[07:17] <Xcalibar> btw anyways if i can use the unity dock to minmize applications , if i use my left mouse click on the same app , and i got a problem with Empathy , the chat windows when i dont check my msg's the unity dock doesnt appear it , and sometimes the upper panel dismisses it and i have to search for the blinking tag on the messenger window..
[07:17] <mokti> dc5ala: http://paste.ubuntu.com/675795/
[07:18] <dc5ala> mokti, i have a look
[07:18] <danny_> Excuse, can anyone help me run counter strike 1.6?
[07:19] <theadmin> danny_: You should get a look at http://winehq.org and #winehq
[07:20] <dc5ala> mokti, it could not find any of the 3 nvidia drivers and is falling back to Vesa, you have problems with nvidia-current?
[07:20] <urlin2u> danny_,  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CounterStrike
[07:20] <dc5ala> mokti, i usually use nvidia-current here, you have problem with it?
[07:20] <Xcalibar> help can i use the unity dock to minmize applications , if i use my left mouse click on the same app , and i got a problem with Empathy , the chat windows when i dont check my msg's the unity dock doesnt appear it , and sometimes the upper panel dismisses it and i have to search for the blinking tag on the messenger window..
[07:20] <danny_> The installation went fine, but it fails to run, thing is all those tutorials are about running counter strike in steam
[07:21] <mokti> dc5ala: I thought I did. I'm going to try nvidia-common, then current
[07:21] <kd> hi
[07:22] <Yoss> Xcalibar, i really suggest opening a topic at the forums
[07:22] <dc5ala> mokti, just use nvidia-current, that is a meta package
[07:22] <Yoss> maybe someone over there will know
[07:22] <Yoss> won't hurt
[07:22] <mokti> dc5ala: what is a meta package
[07:22] <theadmin> danny_: You should get a Steam version -- we do not support pirated editions, nor does Wine
[07:23] <danny_> Ahhhh, I see
[07:23] <dc5ala> mokti, it should install the current version
[07:23] <theadmin> danny_: You *might* or might not have luck running them... We can't help with doing so
[07:23] <urlin2u> Xcalibar, I use docky as well and just find the work around to these problems. I don't think unity is really done in develpment, and or designed to run perfectly with other panels.
[07:24] <mokti> common works
[07:24] <mokti> dc5ala: I just finished restarting with common and it shows the correct resolution. I'm going to try current in a second
[07:24] <dc5ala> mokti, im sorry, it's no meta package at all anymore, i just checked
[07:25] <danny_> Well thanks anyways :)
[07:25] <mokti> dc5ala: I do have one question before I restart again, how do I make the power icon on the top right (used to power down, log off, etc.) show up?
[07:25] <mokti> dc5ala: it isn't there anymore...
[07:25] <dc5ala> mokti, this belongs to some status applet you can add
[07:26] <mokti> dc5ala: how would I go about adding it?
[07:27] <dc5ala> mokti, right click on a free place in the panel and choose add, then look for a session program there
[07:28] <mokti> dc5ala: there is only the ugly red shut down button. Is there a way to get the default one to show up?
[07:28] <dc5ala> mokti, sorry i am using a different locale here so i don't know the exact name ;)
[07:29] <Yoss> motki, are you trying to reset your desktop or something?
[07:29] <mokti> dc5ala: oh, and the time is not there....
[07:30] <dc5ala> mokti, better get your desktop resolution higher first :)
[07:30] <mokti> dc5ala: I fixed the time/power thing "gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel"
[07:31] <mokti> dc5ala: I'm going to try the other video card driver
[07:31] <slithytove20061> so, i just downloaded the ubuntu 11.04 and put it on a usb drive. when i try to 'install' it wants me to log in first. i trued user ubuntu with no password. not sure what else to try. any suggestions
[07:32] <urlin2u> slithytove20061, boot to the desktop, make sure it runs okay then install.
[07:32] <mokti> dc5ala: Right now (in Additional Drivers) I am using NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version current), and I am at the correct resolution
[07:32] <mokti> dc5ala: however, I cannot adjust the brightness...
[07:33] <slithytove20061> urlin2u: 'mounting aufs on /root failed: Invalid argument\naufs monut failed"
[07:34] <urlin2u> slithytove20061, did you check the ISO's md5sum?
[07:34] <mokti> dc5ala: however, I cannot adjust the brightness...
[07:34] <mokti> dc5ala: Right now (in Additional Drivers) I am using NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version current), and I am at the correct resolution
[07:35] <mokti> dc5ala: are you there?
[07:35] <slithytove20061> i didn't
[07:36] <dc5ala> mokti, was getting new coffee :p do you also have that nvidia-settings tool installed?
[07:36] <mokti> dc5ala: I believe so
[07:36] <mokti> dc5ala: I do, also sorry!
[07:37] <Lint> lhow to fix firefox fonts being blurry and gay?
[07:37] <urlin2u> slithytove20061, here is a link for that,  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM   IF you used the thumb loader that ubuntu.com suggests, try unetbootin if the ISO is good,
[07:38] <urlin2u> Lint, using the term gay is not appropriate.
[07:38] <dc5ala> mokti, so this driver is working for you?
[07:38] <mokti> dc5ala: everything except the brightness controls
[07:38] <urlin2u> gay is not a pejorative Lint, don't use it as one.
[07:39] <centHOGG> language is a virus
[07:39] <jamiewan> humans are a virus
[07:39] <mokti> dc5ala: the indicator that pops up on the top right shows that the brigtness of the screen is changing; however, the brightness does not actually change
[07:39] <urlin2u> centHOGG, so is marginalization.
[07:39] <repozitor1> how to register on irc?
[07:40] <lotuspsychje> !nickserv | repozitor1
[07:40] <slithytove20061> urlin2u: where do i find what the md5 should be? its not showing me on the downloads page
[07:40] <dc5ala> mokti, no idea about that
[07:41] <mokti> dc5ala: okay, well thanks for all the help!
[07:41] <Lint> semantics aside, how make firefox look normal?
[07:41] <mokti> dc5ala: I'll look around some more
[07:41] <urlin2u> slithytove20061, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes
[07:41] <slithytove20061> nvm urlin2u, found it.
[07:41] <slithytove20061> lol =]
[07:42] <Lint> or is there some other browser with firefox kernel but without silly blurry ui?
[07:42] <slithytove20061> yup, it matches
[07:42] <dc5ala> mokti, was the problem of not being able to change brightness the reason you tried other drivers?
[07:42] <urlin2u> Lint, disrespecting is not a semantics problem.
[07:43] <mokti> dc5ala: yes
[07:44] <dc5ala> mokti, so i suppose you are on a laptop, you can try other drivers, just make sure you have one at a time there, in your case earlier you had none
[07:44] <mokti> dc5ala: okay
[07:46] <mokti> dc5ala: and yes, I am on a laptop
[07:49] <teage> what is the command to delete my default desktop install. using 11.04.
[07:49] <centHOGG> urlin2u: so what happend with Lint
[07:50] <teage> been using xfce. I never used the gnome so would like to delete it. or unity or whatever it is.
[07:52] <urlin2u> centHOGG, nothing other then I find the common use of that term as a pejorative quite offensive, especially on a family friendly channel. The social norm that holds that term to be used that way is discriminatory.
[07:52] <dc5ala> teage, you could install xubuntu-desktop
[07:52] <centHOGG> k
[07:53] <centHOGG> i meant with firefox
[07:53] <teage> dc5ala, I did. used it ever since. just want to delet the ubuntu desktop install that I never use.
[07:53] <Lint> firefox are blurry in UI and window itself
[07:53] <urlin2u> centHOGG, blurry font I don't know the answer.
[07:53] <mokti> dc5ala: isn't there usually an option for "more effects" or something when you go into System > Preferences > Appearance ?
[07:54] <dkatz> Anyone willing to help a noob troubleshoot a problem?
[07:55] <centHOGG> dep
[07:55] <dkatz> conditional.. I like it
[07:55] <dkatz> I *think* my usb wireless card is autosuspending even though it's not idle
[07:56] <WsAgent> after installing docky maximizing windows just stop on top of docky is there any way to intelligently hide this docky down so that when we move the mouse only then it appears...
[07:56] <dkatz> I don't know how to troubleshoot my theory.. it's just a theory.  But wlan0 just "goes away"
[07:56] <centHOGG> does it do this on another os dkatz?
[07:57] <dkatz> centaur5: great question..  Never thought to try.
[07:57] <dkatz> gah..  tab completion
[07:57] <dkatz> centHOGG
[07:57] <centHOGG> np :P
[07:57] <centHOGG> verify the hw first... then go on to the sw
[07:58] <anthony> Can anybody tell me which version of wine to download for ubuntu 11.04 64-bit
[07:58] <urlin2u> WsAgent, click the docky icon far left of panel, and adjust
[07:58] <theadmin> anthony: The latest as usual. All the instructions are on http://winehq.org
[07:58] <dkatz> centHOGG: Hrmm..  strong suggestion.
[07:58] <dc5ala> mokti, it used to be there, maybe is now only via compiz config settings manager
[07:58] <centHOGG> yeah 3 levels to trobleshooting hw-fw-sw
[07:59] <WsAgent> urlin2u: I tried that but change
[07:59] <dkatz> cH - well.  to add another layer of obfuscation, my ubuntu is running on a vmware image ;)
[08:00] <dkatz> hw-fw-vmw-sw?
[08:00] <centHOGG> idk bout that dkatz
[08:00] <centHOGG> well you could try another os vm
[08:00] <theadmin> dkatz: As for virtualizers, Ubuntu really works best with Virtualbox
[08:00] <centHOGG> i would
[08:00] <dkatz> centHOGG:  Yeah.. I've got a WinXP image I can fire up.
[08:01] <centHOGG> k
[08:01] <dkatz> thx
[08:01] <centHOGG> np
[08:01] <WsAgent> urlin2u : thanks it worked... my fault i didn't select the dock while i am doing the change
[08:02] <urlin2u> WsAgent, it is kinda tricky took me awhile to realize that if you do dome adjustment you have to reclick the panel
[08:02] <dkatz> theadmin: Just using VMWare because it's what I've already got.  Is virtualbox that much better?  IIRC ubuntu used to distribute prebuilt vmware images
[08:02] <mokti> I am going to head out, but I have one last question
[08:02] <damianfrancis> hey guys there is a whole section on the ubuntu help site about installation on macs
[08:02] <urlin2u> some*
[08:02] <centHOGG> <vm
[08:02] <centHOGG> ware
[08:03] <damianfrancis> do you guys know if there is a channel specially for that discussion
[08:03] <theadmin> dkatz: Well, you can use the standard Ubuntu ISO with Virtualbox. Plus, Virtualbox is free and opensource
[08:03] <mokti> I remember (in older versions of ubuntu) that there was an application with a logo that was a green monitor.
[08:03] <WsAgent> urlin2u : yeah relaly
[08:03] <mokti> That application let you monitor the network, processes, etc.
[08:03] <slithytove20061> urlin2u: can adding persistence interfere with the process?
[08:03] <Sakman> hi
[08:03] <mokti> similar to the task manager in windows
[08:03] <Sakman> sombody rom greece?
[08:03] <dkatz> I'm all about FOSS, but I also have a box already paid for.  (torn)
[08:03] <boo> Anyone know why distribution upgrades wouldn't show up in Update Manager? (Trying to upgrade from 8.04...)
[08:03] <mokti> does anyone know what that was? I thougt it was installed by default
[08:04] <oCean> damianfrancis: I don't think there is.
[08:04] <damianfrancis> thx oCean
[08:04] <theadmin> mokti, gnome-system-monitor?
[08:04] <oCean> damianfrancis: in #ubuntu-offtopic there's plenty of general discussion, including macs
[08:05] <Sakman> :)0
[08:05] <urlin2u> slithytove20061, shouldn't unless it is bigger then the thumb, which should throw an error. I have never gotten the thumb loader suggested by ubuntu.com to work consistently, but I have with unetbootin.
[08:05] <damianfrancis> oCean: even though these issues are specific to installation it kinda sounds like this is the right place
[08:06] <slithytove20061> ive used the multi-boot loader from that same site quite well, never to install though
[08:06] <Sakman> from greece someone?
[08:06] <Sakman> :)
[08:06] <theadmin> !greek
[08:06] <theadmin> Sakman: ^
[08:06] <Sakman> yes
[08:06] <oCean> damianfrancis: help is in this channel, unless it's about unsupported derivatives. General discussion/chat is in -offtopic channel
[08:07] <Sakman> thea!!
[08:07] <urlin2u> boo, end of life on 8.04,
[08:07] <boo> ?
[08:07] <oCean> urlin2u: desktop yes, server still going
[08:08] <centHOGG> urlin2u: high five man
[08:08] <Yoss> 10.04 is not bad at all
[08:08] <Yoss> but 10.10 is great
[08:08] <urlin2u> oCean, left out the caveat thanks, my bad.
[08:08] <boo> I'm trying to sort out someone's laptop so I'm trying to upgrade it to a (much) newer version, but the option for upgrading to a newer version has vanished from Update Manager
[08:09] <ulas> unity sucks...
[08:09] <theadmin> ulas: You're not the only one who thinks that.
[08:09] <urlin2u> centHOGG, I only have 4 fingers. :D
[08:09] <theadmin> !classic | ulas
[08:09] <ulas> for sure btw gnome 3 sucks too.
[08:10] <ulas> I found Xubuntu more useful than others..
[08:10] <theadmin> ulas: I know >.< I suggest switching to Xfce, indeed
[08:10] <oCean> ulas: did you just want to rant? or do you have a support question
[08:10] <sourig> unity is good to use..
[08:10] <ulas> i just wanted some chat nothing more :) no offense..
[08:10] <ulas> just bored.
[08:11] <theadmin> ulas: Well, this is the support channel
[08:11] <oCean> ulas: this is the support channel, chat is in #ubuntu-offtopic
[08:11] <ulas> fair enough thanks :)
[08:11] <theadmin> ulas: I have to warn you though, people in #ubuntu-offtopic discuss weird stuff most of the time
[08:11] <mephist0> hi there
[08:11] <ulas> :)) thanks for warning
[08:12] <urlin2u> theadmin, it is a bit... well lets say special.
[08:12] <oCean> let's move on, ok?
[08:12] <theadmin> Yeah oCean is right
[08:12] <mephist0> installing ubuntu alternate for powerpc. Where to find the mirror by country? please.  It asks for mirror for instalation
[08:16] <urlin2u> mephist0, is it the minimal?
[08:17] <mephist0> an alternate for powerpc :)
[08:17] <mephist0> the fact is the cd never reaches the install.
[08:17] <urlin2u> mephist0, never did an install with that disc
[08:18] <urlin2u> myself
[08:18] <mephist0> urlin2u thx anyway.
[08:19] <oCean> !language > mephist0
[08:21] <mephist0> oCean caring the language ;-)

[08:24] <DkrTremos> morning
[08:24] <DkrTremos> have one problem
[08:24] <DkrTremos> can help me?
[08:24] <IdleOne> !ask
[08:24] <mephist0> can you ask? im asking
[08:25] <DkrTremos> ok
[08:25] <DkrTremos> tar xvfz psy*.gz
[08:25] <DkrTremos> the vps reply me
[08:25] <DkrTremos> gzip : stdin invalid compresse data--crc error
[08:26] <DkrTremos> tar : child returned status 1
[08:26] <mephist0> man tar
[08:26] <DkrTremos> tar : exiting with failure status due to previus errors
[08:26] <DkrTremos> why this error?
[08:26] <slithytove20061> urgh. tow when i run the installer (or boot live), it gets to a screen with thebackgound and a mouse and just sits there. i can use the mouse, but nothing else
[08:26] <renzhi>  is it possible to mount more than one loop device at the same time?
[08:28] <DkrTremos> mm
[08:28] <DkrTremos> so what can I do?
[08:28] <DkrTremos> reistall ubuntu
[08:29] <DkrTremos> I have always the same error
[08:32] <ejv> [287841.880897] generic-usb 0003:051D:0002.0001: control queue full <-- I have this a million times in dmesg, why?
[08:33] <ejv> and by million I don't really mean a million...
[08:33] <Thelmaria> DkrTremos: It sounds like the file is corrupted (not passing the CRC check). That's not an ubuntu error.
[08:34] <tricaric> Hi, do you guys know if there is such a thing as "dual suspend" ? i.e. suspend a dual-boot machine, and when resuming, decide which partition (suspended) to resume...
[08:34] <DkrTremos> no error ubuntu?
[08:35] <Thelmaria> DkrTremos: No. Error is in the psy*.gz file. Not in ubuntu.
[08:35] <centHOGG> #borat
[08:36] <fabio> Hello, is there anyone who know, how i can setup ubuntu one sync on a headless ubuntu-server?
[08:37] <dc5ala> DkrTremos, the paramater f should be followed by the filename, so use that as last parameter
[08:38] <centHOGG> ssh & google i'm guessing
[08:38] <Thelmaria> fabio: Check out u1sdtool.
[08:39] <fabio> Thank u ;)
[08:43] <spanky> hi

[08:44] <archangelic> hi
[08:44] <archangelic> I tried out fedora again for the first time in a while. I've been spoiled by apt. Yum is such an awful package manager...
[08:45] <centHOGG> fedora = the nanny state
[08:45] <Anon1234> Hi, I've got a problem. I've upgraded a freind's PC from maverick to natty and it seems to be unable to shutdown
[08:45] <archangelic> it couldn't update the gui update manager because of a dependency issue...
[08:45] <fabiobik> hi
[08:46] <fabiobik> what channel is for backtrack?
[08:46] <IdleOne> #backtrack-linux
[08:46] <fabiobik> thanks
[08:47] <fabiobik> huh im banned

[08:47] <IdleOne> fabiobik: change your ident in your irc client
[08:47] <theadmin> Oh, he's regged
[08:47] <theadmin> Odd
[08:47] <archangelic> ban-evading sounds baaad
[08:47] <IdleOne> theadmin: they ban root ident
[08:48] <theadmin> IdleOne: Oh, I see.
[08:48] <fabiobik> theadmin i need to know how to upgrade bt4 to bt5
[08:49] <IdleOne> fabiobik: by asking in #backtrack-linux. You need to change your ident in your client settings to be able to join that channel
[08:49] <fabiobik> yeh
[08:49] <fabiobik> thanks anyway
[08:49] <mabus44> mpd daemon showing error "Failed to listen on ~/.mpd/socket (line 84): Failed to look up host "~/.mpd/socket": Name or service not known" Can anyone help me on this?
[08:52] <theadmin> fabiobik: If you use irssi, you can change that with /set user_name fabiobik
[08:52] <theadmin> fabiobik: In other clients it's usually done via a nonsensical GUI ;)
[08:53] <fabiobik> theadmin im using xchat
[08:53] <theadmin> fabiobik: Running xchat as root is a extremely weird idea
[08:53] <archangelic> anyone here know anything about kde4 (whether they like it or not) I do like unity, but I want to give kde a shot
[08:54] <theadmin> archangelic: KDE is great, just low-performance on old machines
[08:54] <archangelic> my machine isn't very old
[08:54] <archangelic> it's ~4 years old
[08:54] <theadmin> archangelic: Well, I suggest at least 512mb of RAM for it to work
[08:55] <archangelic> yeah, I have that
[08:55] <archangelic> :D
[08:55] <archangelic> I have a gig in here
[08:55] <theadmin> archangelic: Should be fine, as for CPU I honestly don't even know
[08:55] <archangelic> I can handle unity 3d pretty well
[08:56] <theadmin> archangelic: I guess you should be fine
[08:56] <archangelic> I'm going to give it a shot, but I'm sticking with debian based systems from now on
[08:56] <theadmin> archangelic: Debian-based... Not really the best idea (imo) but better than RPM (again, imo)
[08:57] <archangelic> yeah, debian based at bare minimum, lol
[08:57] <renzhi> is it possible to have two loop back devices mounted at the same time?
[08:59]  * I\O_Error has occurred
[09:00] <theadmin> I\O_Error: You have the wrong slash :/
[09:00] <RichTUK> hey
[09:01] <fabiobik> theadmin how you see im running at root?
[09:01] <renzhi> I have on loop device mounted, when I try to mount a second one, I get the erro:
[09:01] <renzhi> ioctl: LOOP_SET_FD: Device or resource busy
[09:01] <whoppergator> renzhi: you can have up to the number supported by your kernel, usually 8
[09:02] <theadmin> fabiobik: I /whois you
[09:02] <Guybrush_T> hi
[09:02] <Guybrush_T> can somebody help me with a question i have concerning raid and fstab
[09:03] <SwedeMike> !ask | Guybrush_T
[09:03] <Guybrush_T> ok then
[09:03] <whoppergator> renzhi: check out the man for losetup, which controls auto assignment, or if that is not working you can explicitly set up the loop then mount with it
[09:04] <Guybrush_T> i have 2 raids created during ubuntu installation : raid 1 with 2 hds with / on it and a raid5 mounted on /data
[09:04] <Guybrush_T> now the fstab looks like this
[09:04] <Guybrush_T> http://pastebin.com/42TezPAB
[09:05] <Guybrush_T> i noticed that the raid5 apparantly was mounted with the uuid
[09:05] <SwedeMike> !enter Guybrush_T
[09:06] <Guybrush_T> but the other one not
[09:06] <SwedeMike> !enter | Guybrush_T
[09:06] <Guybrush_T> ah ok - im sorry
[09:06] <Guybrush_T> im done though so : next time
[09:07] <SwedeMike> Guybrush_T: you forgot to ask the question or describe what the problem was.
[09:07] <renzhi> whoppergator: I try to create encrypted files container with a loop device, here are the steps:
[09:08] <renzhi> dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/test1.raw bs=1k count=10240
[09:08] <renzhi> mknod /dev/loop1 b 7 0
[09:08] <Guybrush_T> Is the /dev/mapper/System-os / in fstab really my raid, or maybe just sda? Because the way my raids got mounted are so different and i dont understand why.
[09:08] <renzhi> losetup /dev/loop1 /tmp/test1.raw
[09:09] <whoppergator> !enter | renzhi
[09:09] <SwedeMike> Guybrush_T: what does your crypttab look like?
[09:09] <zahh> I need a linux guru here
[09:09] <Guybrush_T> SwedeMike: sorry never heard of that
[09:09] <renzhi> sorry guys, not much of an irc user, I only use this when I'm running out of wit... ;)
[09:10] <theadmin> zahh: Those who say that usually do not. You should just ask the question
[09:10] <zahh> if devpts, proc, sysfs are all virtual filesystems
[09:10] <whoppergator> renzhi: why are you using mknod? you should have plenty of free loop devices already
[09:10] <zahh> are they recreated upon reboot
[09:10] <theadmin> zahh: Yeah
[09:10] <zahh> and does deleteing them do any real harm
[09:10] <theadmin> zahh: No, not really. Just make sure their proper mountpoints still exist
[09:10] <SwedeMike> Guybrush_T: oki, I thought the /dev/mapper ones was due to encryption.
[09:11] <theadmin> zahh: i.e. /dev/, /proc/, /sys/ and such
[09:11] <zahh> k, thanks theadmin, the reason i ask is because ive created a chroot environment
[09:11] <Guybrush_T> ah no encryption  i only encrypt on my notebook
[09:11] <zahh> aand i need to mount those i believe
[09:11] <zahh> to make it a full system
[09:11] <zahh> as theyre all empty right now
[09:11] <Guybrush_T> SwedeMike: i just google crypttab - should i still post it?
[09:11] <renzhi> whoppergator: can't you create your own instead of using those created by the system?
[09:11] <theadmin> zahh: Well... You can bind them with your real system
[09:11] <zahh> if I do something crazy and accidently wipe them
[09:11] <zahh> well it do any unrecoverable damage
[09:11] <zahh> or will a reboot fix the prob
[09:11] <xuser1> hi
[09:12] <SwedeMike> Guybrush_T: if you don't use encryption then there is no need. I'm trying to think of an easy to way to figure out what kind of device /dev/mapper/System-os is, but I'm drawing a blank.
[09:12] <whoppergator> renzhi: sure, by why bother? i mean, you shouldn't have a problem either way, but it is usually easier just to use the mount option loop, which automatically picks the next free loop device
[09:12] <Guybrush_T> Basically what i want to find out is if bhing the /dev/mapper/system-os
[09:12] <renzhi> whoppergator: on one of the system, no loop device is created
[09:12] <xuser1> can i modify dependencyes in a deb package ???
[09:12] <Guybrush_T> SwedeMike: Right - this is exactly what i wanted to ask - how to check WHAT system-os is
[09:12] <theadmin> zahh: mount --rbind /dev /your-chroot/dev ; mount -t proc none /your-chroot/proc
[09:13] <whoppergator> renzhi: if there is no loop device at all, that means the kernel either doesn't have support compiled in, or the loop.ko module hasn't been loaded
[09:13] <zahh> ah k thanks
[09:13] <whoppergator> renzhi: are you doing this on an ubuntu system?
[09:13] <renzhi> whoppergator: on that system, I create mknod and mount it manually
[09:14] <xuser1> can i modify dependencyes list in i deb package?
[09:14] <renzhi> whoppergator: on ubuntu and on cyanogenmod (android)
[09:14] <voxcroix> my movie player cant .flv... help
[09:14] <zahh> theadmin: is it possible for me to damage the host's devpts proc and sys in an unrecoverable way
[09:14] <theadmin> zahh: Doubt that.
[09:14] <zahh> coo.
[09:14] <theadmin> Well, I gotta go
[09:15] <zahh> Im doing this on a phone I bought two days ago
[09:15] <renzhi> whoppergator: on android, loop is compiled in, not as a module
[09:15] <zahh> damn thing costs $600
[09:15] <oCean> zahh: a phone with ubuntu?
[09:15] <zahh> android
[09:15] <Guybrush_T> SwedeMike: i just used dmsetup described here : http://askubuntu.com/questions/22548/how-do-i-know-what-physical-drives-partitions-are-behind-my-dev-mapper-isw-dghbb
[09:15] <oCean> zahh: so thats very offtopic for this channel
[09:15] <whoppergator> renzhi: yes you are correct. next time please let us know what you are doing this on. i have run into this problem before. the solution is to make sure you are using the busybox versions of losetup and mount, not the system versions
[09:15] <zahh> uh not really
[09:15] <Guybrush_T> now i have an UUID
[09:16] <zahh> ubuntu is based on debian
[09:16] <zahh> im install debian on it
[09:16] <oCean> zahh: really, really offtopic
[09:16] <oCean> zahh: this channel is only ubuntu
[09:16] <zahh> god hates ubuntu
[09:16] <renzhi> whoppergator: on android, I'm using busybox to do everything
[09:16] <oCean> zahh: stay nice
[09:17] <renzhi> whoppergator: on ubuntu, I used the system version, but in both cases, I got the same error
[09:17] <whoppergator> renzhi: so are you explicitly calling busybox mount and busybox lo? because the standard busybox install will not take priority over the system ones
[09:17] <renzhi> whoppergator: yes
[09:18] <whoppergator> renzhi: interesting. i have done exactly what you are trying to do many times on my droid2, and haven't had any issues. are you doing this inside a chrooted ubuntu environment?
[09:18] <renzhi> whoppergator: I grabbed the standard busybox, and run the command with absolute path
[09:18] <renzhi> whoppergator: yes
[09:19] <whoppergator> renzhi: it might be an issue with your chroot process then, esp if you aren't passing in the right dev nodes before you do it
[09:19] <k_89> Hi, I recently upgraded to ubunu 11.04 from 10.10. While upgrading,  I allowed the update manager to reset some apache2 configuration files. As a result, I cannot open phpmyadmin in my browser, it shows Not found, can someone help me out ??
[09:20] <renzhi> whoppergator: could you be more explicit?
[09:20] <zahh> crap
[09:21] <zahh> that clever theadmin dudes gone
[09:21] <zahh> Does /dev/pts, /proc, /sysfs have to be writable?
[09:22] <oCean> zahh: it doesn't matter, your question is offtopic. Please take it to a more appropriate channel
[09:22] <whoppergator> renzhi: you should be calling something like: mount --rbind /dev /mnt/ubuntu/dev to make sure that the chrooted environment can actually reach back out to the real device nodes
[09:23] <oCean> renzhi: for you to, there's no support for android environment here
[09:23] <oCean> *too
[09:23] <renzhi> whoppergator: on ubuntu, I run everything as root, and i can only mount one device too
[09:23] <whoppergator> renzhi: on another side, note, some android systems use all of the std loop devices, so you might be required to create a new one like you are already doing
[09:23] <yacc> Any idea how to get a "safe" flash plugin for 10.04LTS 64bit?
[09:23] <oCean> whoppergator: let's drop the android discussion please
[09:23] <zahh> renzhi and whoppergator I think you two are attempting to do what im doing as well
[09:24] <zahh> are you running ubuntu chrooted in an android phone?
[09:24] <oCean> zahh, renzhi and I told you to take it elsewhere, last warning
[09:24] <renzhi> oCean: this is ubuntu-related, as I got the error on ubuntu
[09:24] <yacc> mozilla disables it, and if I enable it, it tends to lead to hung plugin helpers with a message in the kernel log about an illegal memory access.
[09:24] <oCean> renzhi: that part, fair enough. But stop asking for support with the android part
[09:24] <renzhi> oCean: I first ask the question on ubuntu system
[09:25] <renzhi> oCean: I'm not, I'm trying to get answer for ubuntu, that's all. I can't mount more than one loop device on ubuntu, that's the initial issue
[09:26] <whoppergator> renzhi: zahh: either of you are welcome to continue this discussion with me privately, otherwise i will defer to oCean and stick to the ubuntu loop question
[09:26] <oCean> thanks
[09:26] <zahh> thanks whoppergator
[09:27] <k_89> nvm, got it working
[09:27] <renzhi> thanks, I'll try the different command options to see if there's something I'm missing
[09:31] <ruby_bot_0>
[09:31] <repozitor1> how to get a username from IRC channel?
[09:31] <airtonix> start typing, press tab
[09:31] <airtonix> !tab
[09:33] <yacc> Ok, anyone got an idea about flash on a 64bit 10.04LTS?
[09:37] <yacc> Sigh, so one is ontopic and nobody bothers to even answer ;)
[09:38] <linuxuz3r> yacc, you can download 64bit flashplayer on adobe
[09:38] <Fudge>   < jamiewan> humans are a virus
[09:39] <Fudge> lol
[09:39] <oCean> Fudge: wrong channel
[09:39] <Fudge> oCean  yeah prob
[09:40] <elky> is gwibber's identi.ca authorisation stuff broken? I'm trying to re-add an account
[09:42] <yacc> linuxuz3r, right and the "current" version from Adobe is disabled by FF6 for being unsafe :)
[09:42] <yacc> linuxuz3r, worse, when enabled, I get messages like Aug 27 09:25:48 andidesk kernel: [48961.542093] plugin-containe[16991] general p

[09:42] <yacc> 0000] from dmesg
[09:43] <linuxuz3r> oh i dont know anything about ff6 and flash
[09:44] <yacc> linuxuz3r, and all kinds of sites (guess it's related how shady ad networks start to use flash cookies?) block FF6 for a couple of seconds (block == no window refresh whatsoever)
[09:44] <elky> yacc, just fyi, use pastebin.com next time. there's flood protection bots in here that'll cut you off if you paste too many lines
[09:45] <whoppergator> yacc: so is this issue with 64 bit firefox and 64 bit flash?
[09:45] <linuxuz3r> yacc, you using ff6
[09:45] <yacc> elky, I pasted 1(!!!) line inside a message.
[09:46] <raj-darkmystery> guys need help.. dual boot not showing os selection menu
[09:46] <raj-darkmystery> and I am stuck

[09:47] <raj-darkmystery> Fudge, but how to show the OS selection menu default
[09:47] <linuxuz3r> raj-darkmystery, what grub version do you use?
[09:47] <elky> yacc, your irc client probably split it up
[09:47] <glebihan> yacc, did you try using the "Flash-Aid" plugin for Firefox ?
[09:47] <raj-darkmystery> grub2 i guess cause i dont have menu.lst
[09:47] <linuxuz3r> dont use flashaid for firefox it wont work
[09:47] <yacc> ii  firefox                                                     6.0+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu<IP_ADDRESS>~mfs1             Safe and easy web browser from Mozilla
[09:48] <linuxuz3r> yacc is that ppa?
[09:48] <raj-darkmystery> any help linuxuz3r
[09:49] <linuxuz3r> so you are using grub2
[09:49] <linuxuz3r> ok
[09:49] <raj-darkmystery> yes linuxuz3r
[09:49] <linuxuz3r> you need to update your grub
[09:49] <rodhash> Hello guys.. Is there any way to customize the lock dialog in xfce?
[09:49] <yacc> linuxuz3r, apt policy seems to suggest it comes from  *** 6.0+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu<IP_ADDRESS>~mfs1 0        500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/mozillateam/firefox-stable/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages
[09:49] <alkisg> On my Lucid box, flash player in youtube doesn't redraw itself unless I move something else on my screen (move another window, hover over a link in firefox). This started recently, so I'm guessing it broke either with a flashplayer upgrade, or some newer code in the youtube player. Anyone seen that problem?
[09:49] <linuxuz3r> raj-darkmystery,  is the hdd of the other os connected
[09:50] <raj-darkmystery> linuxuz3r, both oss on same hdd
[09:50] <linuxuz3r> raj-darkmystery, what os is it
[09:50] <linuxuz3r> yacc, i dont use ff6 so i cant help
[09:50] <raj-darkmystery> mint with vista
[09:50] <glebihan> raj-darkmystery, edit /etc/default/grub, comment the GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT line and set the GRUB_TIMEOUT value to what you want then run "sudo upgdate-grub"
[09:50] <linuxuz3r> i dont wanna install ppa stuff
[09:51] <linuxuz3r> update-grub2 actually
[09:51] <raj-darkmystery> glebihan, already did that
[09:51] <glebihan> linuxuz3r, update-grub=upgrade-grub2 when you have grub2 installed
[09:51] <linuxuz3r> raj-darkmystery, it should autodetect your os
[09:52] <linuxuz3r> what os is it btw
[09:52] <imanc> how can I search the apt-get repos for an item i want to install? This is on ubuntu server via ssh
[09:52] <glebihan> imanc, apt-cache search name
[09:52] <linuxuz3r> apt-cache search name
[09:52] <imanc> thanks, i actually knew that facepalm
[09:52] <raj-darkmystery> linuxuz3r, i tried update-grub but its not displaying os selection menu at boot
[09:53] <rodhash> Hello guys.. Is there any way to customize the lock dialog in xfce?
[09:53] <glebihan> raj-darkmystery, could you pastebin you /etc/default/grub file ?
[09:54] <linuxuz3r> actually its much better if it is /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[09:54] <linuxuz3r> paste that
[09:54] <glebihan> linuxuz3r, no
[09:54] <linuxuz3r> oh why
[09:54] <linuxuz3r> he did update grub right
[09:54] <glebihan> linuxuz3r, because that file is going to be overwritten every time you install a new kernel and run update-grub
[09:54] <linuxuz3r> and it gets generated to /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[09:55] <glebihan> linuxuz3r, that's right so the file to modify is /etc/default/grub
[09:55] <raj-darkmystery> glebihan, 'm nt sure about pastebin thing but here is the output (it is of 5-6 lines only)
[09:55] <glebihan> !paste | raj-darkmystery
[09:57] <raj-darkmystery> glebihan, http://paste.ubuntu.com/675844/
[09:57] <yacc> back, nothing as cool as a dead X11 server :)
[09:59] <glebihan> raj-darkmystery, wow that's weird, it's the exact same as mine...
[09:59] <glebihan> raj-darkmystery, and you did run update-grub right ?
[10:01] <Fudge> with sudo
[10:01] <raj-darkmystery> glebihan, yes glebihan .. but it then generates menu.lst and here is the output.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/675845/ no signs of windows
[10:02] <glebihan> raj-darkmystery, update-grub does not generate menu.lst but /boot/grub/grub.cfg (well with grub2 that is)
[10:02] <linuxuz3r> he might have installed grub and grub2
[10:02] <linuxuz3r> i got that problem before
[10:03] <glebihan> linuxuz3r, you might be right
[10:03] <glebihan> raj-darkmystery, try runnning "sudo update-grub2"
[10:03] <raj-darkmystery> glebihan, no windows entry in grub.cfg as well.. what does it means?
[10:04] <linuxuz3r> raj-darkmystery, try completely uninstalling grub2 reinstalling grub then uninstall grub then reinstall grub2
[10:04] <Fudge> ur kidding arent you?
[10:04] <raj-darkmystery> glebihan, its showing that grub2 can be installed from the package list.. it means i am using grub only right :-/
[10:04] <linuxuz3r> well thats how i remember to fix it
[10:04] <glebihan> raj-darkmystery, oh you do have grub and grub2 installed and you have an entry in your menu.lst to chainload into grub2
[10:05] <raj-darkmystery> linuxuz3r, sorry for the wrong info but i am using grub and not grub2
[10:05] <linuxuz3r> oh for grub
[10:05] <linuxuz3r> ok
[10:05] <raj-darkmystery> glebihan, yes there is an entry of chainload into grub 2
[10:06] <glebihan> raj-darkmystery, wow grub2 is not installed, how did you get to have that chainload entry then ?
[10:06] <linuxuz3r> raj-darkmystery, you need windows entry on grub
[10:06] <alkisg> On my Lucid box, flash player in youtube doesn't redraw itself unless I move something else on my screen (move another window, hover over a link in firefox etc). This started recently, so I'm guessing it broke either with a flashplayer upgrade, or some newer code in the youtube player. Anyone seen that problem?
[10:06] <glebihan> raj-darkmystery, yes I noticed that but you shouldn't have that unless you installed grub2
[10:07] <linuxuz3r> alkisg, what distro and what firefox version and is it 64bit
[10:07] <linuxuz3r> distro == ubuntu version
[10:07] <raj-darkmystery> glebihan, should i install it? :-o if no harm
[10:07] <alkisg> linuxuz3r: i386, stock lucid packages versions
[10:07] <alkisg> No ppas or anything
[10:07] <raven> cannot connect to ssh server any more. username and password right. testuser also does not work. any ideas?
[10:07] <glebihan> raj-darkmystery, before trying to put windows into the OS list, you should cleanup things and properly install grub2
[10:08] <linuxuz3r> alksig got that problem before what i did is i downloaded the beta flashplayer on adobes website
[10:08] <linuxuz3r> the installation is pretty simple
[10:08] <raj-darkmystery> glebihan, please suggest what to do.. coz 'm nt much comfortable with grub thing
[10:08] <glebihan> raj-darkmystery, follow that guide : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Upgrading%20to%20GRUB%202%20From%20GRUB
[10:08] <linuxuz3r> alkisg, just remember to chmod +x libflashplayer.so
[10:09] <alkisg> linuxuz3r: when you say before, about when do you mean? 1 month ago? Because I only recently got the problem, probably due to an update
[10:09] <urlin2u> raj-darkmystery, what version of u utu are you using?
[10:09] <urlin2u> ubuntu
[10:10] <linuxuz3r> yeah updates sometimes borks your system
[10:10] <alkisg> linuxuz3r: if it's broken, I need to report it.. that's why I'm asking if anyone else has had this problem recently, as in, the last week or so
[10:10] <alkisg> Did you?
[10:10] <linuxuz3r> nope
[10:10] <alkisg> OK, thanks
[10:10] <linuxuz3r> should i?
[10:11] <linuxuz3r> maybe i should report problems too
[10:11] <linuxuz3r> ok
[10:11] <alkisg> Of course, that's what bug trackers are for
[10:11] <gaelfx> would I be able to play a game like Planeshift in Ubuntu using the default ATI drivers for a Radeon HD card, or would I need to install the fglrx driver?
[10:11] <uabn93> what did the update break for you?
[10:12] <alkisg> uabn93: if you're talking to me, I mean this:
[10:12] <alkisg> (01:06:19 μμ) alkisg: On my Lucid box, flash player in youtube doesn't redraw itself unless I move something else on my screen (move another window, hover over a link in firefox etc). This started recently, so I'm guessing it broke either with a flashplayer upgrade, or some newer code in the youtube player. Anyone seen that problem?
[10:12] <alkisg> Sound plays, image is "paused"
[10:12] <linuxuz3r> gaelfx, is that opengl game?
[10:12] <alkisg> And when I move the mouse, it moves
[10:12] <alkisg> *it plays
[10:13] <gaelfx> linuxuz3r: I don't think so
[10:13] <happygolucky> are games in wine slower than they are in windows?
[10:13] <glebihan> alkisg, does the problem occur only on youtube ?
[10:13] <raj-darkmystery> urlin2u, what is utu?
[10:13] <linuxuz3r> gaelfx, did you try it?
[10:13] <glebihan> happygolucky, yes and many won't work at all in wine
[10:13] <raj-darkmystery> glebihan, have install grub2 .. rebooting now.. will update you with the status
[10:13] <glebihan> raj-darkmystery, ok
[10:14] <urlin2u> ubuntu look two line below for the correct raj-darkmystery
[10:14] <gaelfx> linuxuz3r: no, I'm shopping for a new comp and wondering if one with an ATI card is serviceable for me
[10:14] <alkisg> glebihan: yes, it only happens on youtube, but I'm not 100% that it's a youtube problem or if youtube is using some flash feature that other websites don't
[10:14] <raj-darkmystery> sorry urlin2u was making some changes in system so ddnt observed. Its mint machine
[10:14] <alkisg> glebihan: it also happens on other browsers than firefox, like e.g. google-chrome
[10:15] <glebihan> alkisg, then it's not likely that the problem comes from an update on your system, but rather from something that changed on youtube
[10:15] <gaelfx> linuxuz3r: or I guess a better question would be whether or not Blender functions well with ATI cards in Ubuntu
[10:15] <raven> cannot connect to ssh server any more. username and password right. testuser also does not work. any ideas?
[10:15] <alkisg> glebihan: I wonder why other don't have the same problem though
[10:15] <urlin2u> raj-darkmystery, your tryng to fix a mint setup?
[10:15] <linuxuz3r> gaelfx, im looking at the games website and its pretty much 1 video card
[10:15] <iceroot> raven: ssh user@host -vvv
[10:15] <glebihan> alkisg, I'd recommend trying to update your flash version
[10:15] <linuxuz3r> gaelfx, i dont know i got nvidia card
[10:16] <alkisg> glebihan: manually? ok, I'll try...
[10:16] <iceroot> raven: also see /var/log/auth.log on the remote-machine when possibile
[10:16] <alkisg> Thanks
[10:16] <linuxuz3r> i hope amd updated their gfx support for linux
[10:17] <gaelfx> linuxuz3r: yeah, AMD laptops are much cheaper than Intel
[10:17] <glebihan> alkisg, well you're on lucid, many here are on more recent versions and may not encounter the same issues (but that's just a guess)
[10:17] <thogar> quick question, after creating a persistence usb drive with 11.04, i get no display for 5 minutes, then finally i get screen but its not responsive, what is the problem? i did a debian usb install just fine
[10:17] <urlin2u> raj-darkmystery, are you booted in and on the desktop?
[10:18] <gaelfx> thogar: have you tried doing an actual install on the USB rather than a persistent live image?
[10:18] <linuxuz3r> gaelfx, yeah
[10:18] <saif> Hello everyone :) , anyone can help me to install wireless driver on my sony vaio ?
[10:18] <raven> iceroot, sshd[4251]: Failed password for invalid user USR from <IP_ADDRESS> port 54555 ssh2
[10:18] <thogar> yes it worked fine on hard drive, but i cant do it that way
[10:18] <gregoire> Hi !
[10:18] <uabn93> alkisg: everything is working for me
[10:18] <linuxuz3r> gaelfx, thats why intel has lots of commercial these days
[10:18] <thogar> its too much clutter with a huge drive
[10:18] <alkisg> Thank you uabn93, most appreciated
[10:19] <iceroot> raven: USR is the username?
[10:19] <raj-darkmystery> glebihan, urlin2u, yes have booted but there was no windows option.. i at least can see os selection menu now :) but how i can see windows as an option as well
[10:19] <mikeyfbi> anyone here using google services right now?  as in this very moment?  (specifically google docs?)  everytime i change a cell is EXTREMELY slow ... just want to see if I'm the only one
[10:19] <linuxuz3r> gaelfx, what system are you planning on buying?
[10:19] <iceroot> mikeyfbi: #google
[10:19] <raven> iceroot, yes its the correct name i only changed that to USR
[10:19] <iceroot> raven: what?
[10:19] <gaelfx> linuxuz3r: Asus Eee PC 1215B
[10:19] <mikeyfbi> iceroot, thx
[10:19] <linuxuz3r> raj-darkmystery, you need to put the boot code for windows
[10:19] <iceroot> raven: USR? and not usr?
[10:20] <iceroot> raven: capital-letters?
[10:20] <raven> iceroot, i only anonymized that
[10:20] <raj-darkmystery> linuxuz3r, can you please guide me in that?
[10:20] <syslq_> How do you like unity?
[10:20] <saif> anyone can help me install wireless driver ?
[10:20] <ikonia> syslq_: what does it matter ?
[10:20] <iceroot> raven: how you created that user? because ssh says its an invalid user
[10:20] <marsupio> syslq, never test but gome 3 is fine
[10:20] <gaelfx> thogar: well, that's probably the problem then, Is this a USB flash drive or an external USB hard disk?
[10:21] <thogar> flash drive
[10:21] <syslq_> marsupio: :) yeah it is
[10:21] <raven> iceroot, on installation i also checked that this user belongs to the ssh group but no change
[10:21] <syslq_> ikonia: well I'm on kde and I'm considering changing
[10:21] <raven> iceroot, but this high portnumber is strange isnt it?
[10:21] <ikonia> syslq_: try it, see if you like it, what others like may not be what you like
[10:21] <linuxuz3r> gaelfx, im looking for an a series laptop
[10:21] <syslq_> ikonia: true :)
[10:21] <gaelfx> thogar: did you try actually installing Ubuntu to the flash drive? I mean, not making it a LiveUSB, but doing a full install onto the flash drive?
[10:22] <iceroot> raven: ssh group?
[10:22] <iceroot> raven: no the port is ok
[10:22] <raven> iceroot, yes
[10:22] <uabn93> and xubuntu isnt half as bad
[10:22] <thogar> hmm how would you do that?
[10:22] <iceroot> raven: what is a ssh-group? you added the user into the group ssh?
[10:22] <uabn93> as i though
[10:22] <uabn93> thought*
[10:23] <glebihan> raj-darkmystery, did you follow the upgrade guide to the end and get rid of grub1 ?
[10:23] <gaelfx> thogar: well, if you have two USB drives, put the LiveUSB on one and install from that one to the other one. It's what I did for my computer
[10:23] <raven> iceroot, yes to verify that. but such a high portnumber is used by trojany right?
[10:23] <iceroot> raven: every user can use ssh if the user has a login-shell in /etc/passwd
[10:23] <linuxuz3r> raj-darkmystery, can you do: sudo fdisk /dev/hdx where x is your hard drive letter where windows is installed
[10:23] <thogar> i guess i could try that
[10:23] <linuxuz3r> raj-darkmystery, then hit p
[10:23] <iceroot> raven: no its not used by trojan
[10:23] <linuxuz3r> ok
[10:23] <linuxuz3r> raj-darkmystery, you got grub2 now?
[10:24] <gaelfx> thogar: it tends to speed things up quite a bit, compared to the LiveUSB version
[10:24] <linuxuz3r> raj-darkmystery, dont do the first one that i say
[10:24] <iceroot> raven: can you paste the ouput of "id username" from the remote-machine?
[10:24] <linuxuz3r> said
[10:25] <gaelfx> linuxuz3r: I just want one with a screen big enough to do some graphics work and a decent enough graphics card to handle rendering scenes
[10:25] <gregoire> Ubuntu is cool
[10:26] <Lafiir> Hi, I run 11.04 on an older Asus notebook. Changing display brightness via Fn+F5/F6 keys works, but I'd like to have a visual indicator for it (like when changing the volume). How would I get that?
[10:26] <linuxuz3r> gaelfx, ok but if you are going to spend on a video card you might aswell spend around 150bucks
[10:26] <Lafiir> Also changing brightness this way is not permanent and often resets after some random time. How can I fix that?
[10:26] <linuxuz3r> gaelfx, go to newegg they have nice selection of radeon cards
[10:26] <raven> iceroot, possible that problem is related to my try to add this machine fix to a favourite connection via "connect to server" in "places"?
[10:26] <thogar> wont installing ubuntu onto a usb drive wear it out faster though?
[10:26] <syslq_> ikonia: seems like ubuntu is trying to mimic osx
[10:26] <Lafiir> I don't need a pinpoint solution, pointing me in the right direction would suffice.
[10:26] <linuxuz3r> gaelfx, choose the amd brand
[10:26] <iceroot> raven: no
[10:27] <iceroot> raven: can you use "ssh user@localhost" on the remote-machine?
[10:27] <chocobanana> Hi everyone!!!
[10:27] <raven> iceroot, because the logfile says that the other machine tries to connect to the folder all the time
[10:27] <ikonia> raven: you've had this problem for almost 12 hours now
[10:28] <raven> iceroot, to other machines from that machine it works
[10:28] <raven> ikonia, longer
[10:28] <ikonia> raven: it seems you are repeating the trouble shooting from 12 hours ago
[10:28] <gaelfx> linuxuz3r: yeah, that's where I'm at now, but the Chinese version is really weird
[10:28] <iceroot> raven: as i said, first remove the wrong groups
[10:29] <iceroot> raven: also, can you paste the output of "sudo grep username /etc/passwd"
[10:29] <raven> iceroot, but the default user has to be able to use sudo!?
[10:29] <iceroot> raven: but that is done by the admin-group
[10:29] <ikonia> iceroot: apologies for interupting, but this has gone on for about 12 hours that I've seen, why not just add a user correctly and delete this user ?
[10:29] <iceroot> raven: but the wrong group i mean is the ssh group, no user has to be part of that group to use ssh
[10:29] <linuxuz3r> gaelfx,  Asus Eee PC 1215B
[10:29] <linuxuz3r> whoops
[10:30] <gregoire> Dis moi quelque chose
[10:30] <linuxuz3r> gaelfx, http://www.frys.com/product/6546943?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG or http://www.frys.com/product/6639964?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG
[10:30] <chocobanana> I have a desktop running Ubuntu 10.04 using a wired Internet connection. The connection has been working flawlessly for > 1year but it can no longer connect for a reason I'm unable to determine. I already tried assigning a static IP to no avail. Help?
[10:30] <ikonia> chocobanana: go back to dhcp
[10:31] <ikonia> chocobanana: debug from there
[10:31] <iceroot> ikonia: its always good to know the reason of issues
[10:31] <raven> iceroot, ok just a moment
[10:31] <chocobanana> ikonia: ok, which debug step do you suggest? :)
[10:31] <ikonia> chocobanana: changing back to dhcp for starters
[10:32] <raj-darkmystery> glebihan, no actually after restart i selected normal coz there was no entry with chainload thing
[10:32] <thogar> gaelfx: how much space would i need on the usb drive though?
[10:32] <gaelfx> linuxuz3r: I live in China, so I need to buy from a place that can ship here
[10:32] <chocobanana> ikonia: will try, brb
[10:32] <gregoire> Dis moi quelque chose
[10:32] <rubybottesting> Hi
[10:32] <Guest42789> hi
[10:32] <gaelfx> thogar: I believe a 4GB is big enough to install, but it's better to have an 8GB
[10:32] <raj-darkmystery> linuxuz3r, any suggestions please
[10:32] <oCean> gregoire: did you bring a bot?
[10:32] <linuxuz3r> raj-darkmystery, what grub is installed now
[10:32] <iceroot> gaelfx: normal ubuntu needs 4.4 gb
[10:32] <gregoire> yes
[10:33] <oCean> gregoire: please remove it now
[10:33] <gregoire> just testing it
[10:33] <gregoire> ok
[10:33] <gregoire> sry
[10:33] <oCean> gregoire: thanks
[10:33] <raven> iceroot, ok i removed the groups from my user
[10:33] <raj-darkmystery> let me confirm from my side first linuxuz3r
[10:33] <bitwise> o hai
[10:34] <gaelfx> iceroot: ok
[10:34] <bitwise> I'm having a problem with Update Manager that I was wondering if someone could give me any tips for
[10:34] <bitwise> Any takers?
[10:34] <ikonia> bitwise: you need to explain the problem
[10:34] <bitwise> Okay
[10:34] <ikonia> bitwise: that's like saying I'm having problem with my car, any takers"
[10:35] <bitwise> Whenever Update Manager runs, it says that the package list hasn't been updated since I first installed
[10:35] <iceroot> ikonia: a car is not so complex as software :)
[10:35] <bitwise> When I click the Check button, it gives me an error: "Failed to download repository information"
[10:35] <bitwise> W:Failed to fetch gzip:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/ca.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_natty_universe_source_Sources  Hash Sum mismatch
[10:35] <bitwise> , E:Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
[10:35] <iceroot> bitwise: can you paste the output of "sudo apt-get update"
[10:36] <ikonia> bitwise: open a terminal and do "sudo apt-get update" and see what repos are failing to download
[10:36] <iceroot> !paste | bitwise
[10:36] <gaelfx> iceroot: tell that to the folks at Tesla Motors
[10:36] <raj-darkmystery> linuxuz3r, i just did upgrade-from-grub-legacy should i restart now and check if windows is there in list or if there is any way so that i can check and confirm without reboot
[10:36] <chocobanana2> ikonia: back to DHCP, issue persists (if you already replied, please copy-paste answer)
[10:37] <urlin2u> linuxuz3r, it doesn't matter which grub is there, if they are on their desktop. All you have to do is purge grub grub-pc grub-common, and then reinstall grub-pc grub-common.
[10:37] <jiohdi> raj-darkmystery, grub or grub2
[10:37] <Grey_Loki> Hi, what do you guys think is the best (i.e, most finger-suitable) window manager to sit over a basic install of Ubuntu?
[10:37] <ikonia> chocobanana2: has your machine got an IP address from dhcp ?
[10:37] <ikonia> Grey_Loki: try some, see which one you like, it's all personal taste
[10:37] <raven> iceroot, ?
[10:37] <chocobanana2> ikonia: won't connect at all, can't even ping
[10:37] <raj-darkmystery> jiohdi, upgraded to grub2 from grub chainload thing.. don't hv indepth knowledge of grub thing
[10:37] <bitwise> http://paste.ubuntu.com/675858/
[10:38] <ikonia> chocobanana2: that's not what I asked, please answer the question I asked, "does your machine get an IP address from dhcp"
[10:38] <bitwise> That's what I get from sudo apt-get update
[10:38] <chocobanana2> ikonia: tried plugging in another computer and it works… :S
[10:38] <linuxuz3r> raj-darkmystery, check your menu.lst
[10:38] <chocobanana2> ikonia: no ip address received
[10:38] <jiohdi> raj-darkmystery, you can view /boot/grub/grub.cfg to see if the changes are there
[10:38] <jiohdi> grub2 does not use menu.lst
[10:38] <ikonia> chocobanana2: ok, please do "sudo ifconfig -a" how many devices do you see ?
[10:38] <linuxuz3r> urlin2u, i dont know how package conflicts are resolve in ubuntu i used to have both grub and grub2 installed and it screwed my system
[10:39] <Grey_Loki> ikonia: I know - I thought someone with some experience of Ubuntu with a touchscreen might have better taste than I do :P
[10:39] <chocobanana2> ikonia: eth0 + lo
[10:39] <urlin2u> linuxuz3r, happens, best approach is to purge both and install grub2
[10:39] <ikonia> chocobanana2: run "sudo dhclient eth0"
[10:39] <linuxuz3r> urlin2u, can you help raj-darkmystery i got to sleep
[10:40] <urlin2u> linuxuz3r, I have tried.
[10:40] <chocobanana2> ikonia: ok. That keeps on sending a request but it does not seem to be using the right netmask
[10:40] <urlin2u> raj-darkmystery, are you on the desktop?
[10:40] <segunda_hora> Hello, how do I check if an ssh server is running on ubuntu?
[10:40] <ikonia> chocobanana2: that's called a broadcast, don't worry about that
[10:40] <ikonia> segunda_hora: ssh to the server, if it responds, it is
[10:40] <raj-darkmystery> linuxuz3r, no entries of windows in menu.lst and anyways when i did upgrade it was showing that i can remove menu* now.. jiohdi there is entry of windows vista in grub.cfg but its not coming on boot selection os
[10:41] <squaregoldfish> segunda_hora: pgrep sshd
[10:41] <raj-darkmystery> the linuxuz3r thanks for help .. good night :)
[10:41] <chocobanana2> ikonia: it exited with "No DHCPOFFERS received."
[10:41] <jiohdi> raj-darkmystery, not sure what you mean not coming on boot selection os?
[10:41] <raj-darkmystery> yes urlin2u 'm on the laptop
[10:41] <bitwise> Wow, busy in here
[10:41] <segunda_hora> squaregoldfish: it returned a three digit number.
[10:41] <chocobanana2> ikonia: and "No working leases in persistent database - sleeping."
[10:42] <raj-darkmystery> jiohdi, in os selection menu at startup there is no windows option coming up
[10:42] <squaregoldfish> segunda_hora: OK, so that's the process ID of the running ssh server. Which means you have one!
[10:42] <bitwise> I don't mind waiting patiently, I just hope no one's forgotten my question
[10:42] <segunda_hora> Ok, now: I cannot connect through Putty. I was able to connect a "few boots of the server"-ago. What could be the problem? I have tried local address and internet address
[10:42] <jiohdi> raj-darkmystery, there is the problem... you can add one using /etc/grub.d/40_custom ... make changes there and then update-grub
[10:42] <iceroot> raven: outout of the grep command still missing
[10:43] <ikonia> chocobanana2: ok, so there is the issue, the dhcp sever is not giving an IP - so either a.) there is a problem with the dhcpd server b.) there is a problem with your cable
[10:43] <urlin2u> raj-darkmystery, run this command and pastebin the results lsb_release -a   here is the pastebin address http://paste.ubuntu.com/
[10:43] <jiohdi> raj-darkmystery, you should be able to do update-grub and have it find windows by itself
[10:43] <squaregoldfish> segunda_hora: Are you getting errors, no response, or what?
[10:43] <ikonia> chocobanana2: based on that error, there appears to be a problem with the range on the dhcp server
[10:44] <segunda_hora> squaregoldfish: putty hangs for a while when I try the internet address and network connection refused on local address
[10:44] <raj-darkmystery> jiohdi, can you please describe me how i can add the things? as I already described 'm not much comfortable with grub thing
[10:44] <urlin2u> jiohdi, he has both legacy and grub together in the middle of a grub version update
[10:44] <urlin2u> grub2
[10:44] <raj-darkmystery> sure urlin2u 'm rebooting the machine once as soon as it comes up 'll paste the output :)
[10:44] <urlin2u> raj-darkmystery, cool
[10:44] <jiohdi> urlin2u, I have no idea what that means other than its broke and needs to be fixed
[10:45] <segunda_hora> *connection time out
[10:45] <urlin2u> jiohdi, right and I'm able to do that without guessing.;-)
[10:46] <chocobanana2> ikonia: cable should be no problem since it works with other computers. As for the DHCP range… it worked before and the machine is remembered… I'm gonna try forgetting in the router configuration page to see what happens.
[10:46] <squaregoldfish> segunda_hora: Try restarting the server.
[10:46] <raj-darkmystery> urlin2u, here is lsb_release http://paste.ubuntu.com/675860/
[10:46] <ikonia> chocobanana2: that would be the most reasonable action
[10:46] <segunda_hora> squaregoldfish: physically, or by a command?
[10:47] <bitwise> ikonia: This is what I get when I enter sudo apt-get update:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/675858/
[10:47] <squaregoldfish> segunda_hora: I meant the SSH server. sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart
[10:47] <urlin2u> raj-darkmystery, cool so in the terminal run this command copy and paste it. sudo apt-get purge grub grub-pc grub-common
[10:47] <iceroot> !upstart | squaregoldfish
[10:48] <urlin2u> raj-darkmystery, and leave the terminal open.
[10:48] <raj-darkmystery> is that urlin2u ? purge is somewhat risky i guess :-/
[10:48] <iceroot> squaregoldfish: sudo service ssh restart
[10:48] <raj-darkmystery> ok sure 'm doing urlin2u
[10:48] <urlin2u> raj-darkmystery, no, we are going to reinstall grub2 next
[10:48] <ikonia> bitwise: remove /http://paste.ubuntu.com/675858/
[10:48] <ikonia> bitwise: oops, sorry
[10:48] <ikonia> bitwise: remove http://paste.ubuntu.com/675858/
[10:49] <ikonia> damn it
[10:49] <bitwise> lol
[10:49] <raj-darkmystery> ok urlin2u did that
[10:49] <ikonia> bitwise: delete var/lib/apt/lists/partial/ca.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_natty_universe_source_Sources  and try again
[10:49] <gaelfx> raj-darkmystery: purge just uninstalls AND removes the config files so you can start anew
[10:49] <raj-darkmystery> thanks gaelfx
[10:49] <raj-darkmystery> urlin2u, next?
[10:49] <gaelfx> no prob
[10:50] <urlin2u> raj-darkmystery, now run sudo apt-get install grub-pc grub-common   when asked where you want grub choose sda and use the space key to click it
[10:50] <raj-darkmystery> urlin2u, it is asking if i also want to remove grub2?
[10:50] <segunda_hora> ikonia: returns ssh start/running, process ####
[10:50] <urlin2u> raj-darkmystery, yes
[10:50] <ikonia> segunda_hora what ?
[10:50] <raven> iceroot, which grep command? i posted anything via msg
[10:50] <raj-darkmystery> urlin2u, ok
[10:50] <iceroot> raven: also, can you paste the output of "sudo grep username /etc/passwd"
[10:50] <raj-darkmystery> urlin2u, installing all the things u said earlier
[10:50] <urlin2u> raj-darkmystery, now run sudo apt-get install grub-pc grub-common   when asked where you want grub choose sda and use the space key to click it
[10:50] <squaregoldfish>  ikonia: Meant for me - I got it.
[10:50] <segunda_hora> ikonia: sorry thought you were talking to me through goldfish
[10:51] <raven> iceroot, ok
[10:51] <squaregoldfish>  segunda_hora: Still not working?
[10:51] <raj-darkmystery> urlin2u, installing...
[10:51] <segunda_hora> restarting ssh with sudo service ssh restart didn't help yes
[10:51] <iceroot> i love the channel-based command-history on irssi :)
[10:51] <urlin2u> raj-darkmystery, you have copied and pasted the puge and the install correct?
[10:52] <chocobanana2> ikonia: removing the problematic machine from the DHCP client list di not help… :(
[10:52] <krzych1228> Hi all
[10:52] <urlin2u> purge
[10:52] <raj-darkmystery> no hvnt copy pasted i typed it
[10:52] <ikonia> chocobanana2: re-run sudo dhclient eth0 see if the error changed
[10:52] <krzych1228> K to z Polski?
[10:52] <squaregoldfish> segunda_hora: Give me a minute...
[10:52] <ikonia> !pl | krzych1228
[10:53] <chocobanana2> ikonia: same error
[10:53] <raj-darkmystery> urlin2u, selected sda
[10:53] <ikonia> chocobanana2: got to be a problem with the router not offering a dhcp request
[10:53] <raj-darkmystery> urlin2u, done!!
[10:53] <urlin2u> raj-darkmystery,hit tab and eb=nter
[10:53] <urlin2u> enter
[10:53] <raj-darkmystery> its done urlin2u
[10:53] <chocobanana2> ikonia: shouldn't it be using the right netmask? My router's is <IP_ADDRESS>. dhclient is using <IP_ADDRESS>
[10:53] <bitwise> ikonia: That worked perfectly, thank you so much
[10:54] <urlin2u> raj-darkmystery, now run sudo update-grub....and look if windows shows
[10:54] <raj-darkmystery> urlin2u, ok
[10:54] <ikonia> chocobanana2: it's not a netmask, its'a broadcast as I said earlier
[10:54] <ikonia> bitwise no problem
[10:54] <raj-darkmystery> urlin2u, i supposed to check in grub.cfg right?
[10:55] <urlin2u> raj-darkmystery, run sudo update-grub and see if windows shows in the terminal
[10:55] <krzych1228> Who is in Poland?
[10:55] <ikonia> !pl | krzych1228
[10:55] <betanick> how would i set "ifconfig wlan0 <IP_ADDRESS> netmask <IP_ADDRESS>" in /etc/network/interfaces?
[10:55] <squaregoldfish> segunda_hora: netstat -a |grep LISTEN         Is anything listed for port 22?
[10:56] <ikonia> betanick: that's not a valid ip address
[10:56] <urlin2u> raj-darkmystery, when you update grub like this it will liost the installs
[10:56] <urlin2u> list
[10:56] <wildbat> chocobanana2: you said there is other machine working with router fine with dhcp and the connection?
[10:56] <iceroot> ikonia: fyi: the ssh-issue was a wrongt login-shell in /etc/passwd
[10:56] <ikonia> iceroot: duff user added then
[10:57] <betanick> ikonia: running ifconfig wlan0 <IP_ADDRESS> netmask <IP_ADDRESS> is the only way i can get dhcp to work
[10:57] <iceroot> ikonia: duff? the simpsons-bear?
[10:57] <raj-darkmystery> urlin2u, here is the output http://paste.ubuntu.com/675864/
[10:57] <ikonia> betanick: that makes no sense at all, that has nothing to do with dhcp, you're setting an invalid static ip
[10:57] <ikonia> iceroot: duff is a uk phrase that means "broken" or "wrong"
[10:57] <iceroot> ikonia: ah ok, thank you
[10:58] <raj-darkmystery> urlin2u, is that ok?
[10:58] <urlin2u> raj-darkmystery, when you ran the first command was it this sudo apt-get purge grub grub-pc grub-common
[10:58] <raj-darkmystery> urlin2u, yes
[10:59] <betanick> ikonia: i get "No subnet declaration for wlan0 (<IP_ADDRESS>)." so i run "ifconfig wlan0 <IP_ADDRESS> netmask <IP_ADDRESS>" and all is good
[11:00] <segunda_hora> squaregoldfish: if the numbers after "listening" or ports, then port 22 is not listed.
[11:00] <segunda_hora> squaregoldfish: or = are
[11:00] <urlin2u> raj-darkmystery, run sudo update-grub  and pastebin all the text including the sudo
[11:00] <josvuk> I downloaded a big tar file with firefox but it opend in filemanager, now I don,t know where the file is downloaded
[11:00] <chocobanana2> wildbat: yes, I have various machines here with no issues except for another one running Ubuntu
[11:00] <josvuk> can someone help?
[11:00] <ikonia> betanick: your networking is messed up in a big issue
[11:00] <raj-darkmystery> urlin2u, ok
[11:00] <chocobanana2> wildbat: there one other Ubuntu computer that has no issues, though
[11:01] <wildbat> chocobanana2: did you try switching cable with the working one?~ check if the router blocking the MAC address of your machine.
[11:01] <squaregoldfish> segunda_hora: Odd. Look in /etc/ssh/sshd_config. Near the top will be a Port entry - is that set to 22?
[11:02] <raj-darkmystery> urlin2u, here is the ouput including command, I am root http://paste.ubuntu.com/675867/
[11:02] <zalun> http://gunicorn.org/install.html gives servers, signing key and fingerprint, how to use them (it's the server - no apt-add-repository command
[11:02] <zalun> normal update gives public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY BC981A8115E5EB06
[11:02] <urlin2u> raj-darkmystery, I think your fine reboot and see if windows shows in the grub menu
[11:03] <chocobanana2> wildbat: cable works with other computers. Checking mac address blacklist…
[11:03] <raj-darkmystery> ok will try
[11:03] <raj-darkmystery> urlin2u, ok will let you know urlin2u once its up
[11:03] <urlin2u> raj-darkmystery, cool
[11:03] <squaregoldfish> segunda_hora: Sorry, in the netstat output did you see something like   "tcp        0      0 *:22                 *:*                     LISTEN"?
[11:04] <micutz> hello ppl
[11:04] <segunda_hora> squaregoldfish: in config, yes after the comment "what port we listen for etc." there is a Port 22 entry. In the netstats there was a tcp ... ssh ... listen entry
[11:04] <setac> hello
[11:05] <micutz> setac  i have a lil problem
[11:05] <setac> pl, halp or i gona install windows or cras my laptop
[11:05] <micutz> i wanna give iptables a rule to block all trafic on a specific port but when  i restart the pc i want to remember it
[11:05] <squaregoldfish> segunda_hora: Looks like a firewall issue then. Can you ssh in using localhost?
[11:06] <segunda_hora> squaregoldfish: yes using the server machine (obviously?)
[11:06] <squaregoldfish> segunda_hora: Definitely firewall. Not my area of expertise, I'm afraid.
[11:07] <segunda_hora> squaregoldfish: I haven't installed any firewalls. I appreciate that you've done all you can but any suggestions to determine if it's a virus type problem?
[11:08] <micutz> guys.... i wanna give iptables a rule to block all trafic on a specific port but when  i restart the pc i want to remember it...how can i do that
[11:08] <squaregoldfish> segunda_hora: There's a firewall running by default. Its settings must have got changed somehow. Unlikely to be a virus since you'd need root access to mess with it.
[11:09] <squaregoldfish> squaregoldfish: Unless you've done something silly of course ;)
[11:09] <setac> please can anybody halp me with install 11.04
[11:09] <squaregoldfish> segunda_hora: Unless you've done something silly of course ;)
[11:09] <segunda_hora> squaregoldfish: :P thanks I will see what firewall users do to run ssh
[11:09] <chocobanana2> wildbat, ikonia: can't pinpoint the problem :S Will try rebooting the computer with a LiveUSB Ubuntu 11.04 to see if it's a general issue with the computer or the OS installation

[11:13] <cbxyh> #ubuntu-cn
[11:13] <urlin2u> raj-darkmystery, so with this release debian mint are various problems, it may be that running grub-legacy is best, but really you should be getting the directions of this from thise users.
[11:13] <micutz> Thelmaria, ty
[11:13] <urlin2u> those
[11:13] <urlin2u> raj-darkmystery, are you on the live cd?
[11:14] <raj-darkmystery> urlin2u, ohh.. no 'm not on live cd.. its already an dual boot
[11:14] <wildbat> raj-darkmystery: may be manually add one entry then .
[11:14] <urlin2u> raj-darkmystery, okay are you using two computers
[11:14] <raj-darkmystery> wildbat, where and what entry?
[11:14] <cbxyh> #ubuntu-cn
[11:15] <raj-darkmystery> urlin2u, one for troubleshoot via which 'm asking and one which is under trouble
[11:15] <wildbat> raj-darkmystery: grub menu enty that what /etc/grub.d/40_custom are for
[11:15] <urlin2u> raj-darkmystery, the one in trouble had a grub menu before and you were in the desktop when you ran the commands?
[11:15] <raj-darkmystery> wildbat, 'm not sure if I know how to do that 'm new for this grub thing.
[11:16] <cbxyh> 有人吗  谁知道怎么进中文聊天室
[11:16] <raj-darkmystery> yes urlin2u i am doing and pasting outputs from the machine under trouble only

[11:16] <babilen> cbxyh: 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw 谢谢合作
[11:16] <cbxyh> 谢谢
[11:16] <urlin2u> raj-darkmystery, and your in the desktop?
[11:17] <urlin2u> raj-darkmystery, I'm confused here, can you clear this up?
[11:18] <raj-darkmystery> urlin2u, on laptop... mint is laptop (on which we are troubleshooting things and near to me) I am doing the things on that and pasting outputs from that machine only... another laptop i am using to chat with you and has nothing to do with this troubleshooting
[11:18] <villa> hello, something wrong with my vim. Taglist: Exuberant ctags (http://ctags.sf.net) not found in PATH. Plugin is not loaded. so what's the problem and what should I do to deal with it? thanks
[11:18] <betanick> i'm trying to create a wap and when i setup dhcp for the bridge (br0) dhcp does not work but if i set up dhcp on wlan0 it works only if i run "ifconfig wlan0 <IP_ADDRESS> netmask <IP_ADDRESS>" can someone please help me out?
[11:18] <urlin2u> raj-darkmystery, so as of now you can't boot the mint computer?
[11:19] <raj-darkmystery> i can boot the mint machine but no os selection menu is there.. as i want to select os from mint to windows as well
[11:19] <wildbat> !bootinfoscript | raj-darkmystery
[11:20] <urlin2u> raj-darkmystery, how does the mint boot straight in, no menu?
[11:20] <raj-darkmystery> urlin2u, i can boot the mint machine but no os selection menu is there.. as i want to select os from mint to windows as well
[11:20] <raj-darkmystery> urlin2u, yes.. no menu.. straight boot
[11:21] <chocobanana2> wildbat, ikonia: damn old computer won't read LiveUSB :S :S I guess I'll have to put this on standby until I get my hands on a blank CD
[11:21] <urlin2u> raj-darkmystery, is this what the problem was to begin with?
[11:21] <wildbat> betanick, again that is a wrong address~ define what you mean by work or not work ~ err message etc. for others to better understand your issue.
[11:21] <raj-darkmystery> urlin2u, yes
[11:22] <Lafiir> Upon installation Ubuntu created two extra partitions with the size of my RAM. One is for swap. Whats the other one for?
[11:22] <raj-darkmystery> urlin2u, i want os selection menu so that i will be able to boot in linux and in windows as well
[11:22] <wildbat> chocobanana2: oh :<  one last thing to try is port swaping on router. ~ and check the lights  see if singal is good.
[11:22] <urlin2u> raj-darkmystery, well the good thing is that you have grub2 only now, I'm assuming this but I think you ran the commands correct.
[11:22] <raj-darkmystery> yes urlin2u i did as like you said.. no mistakes
[11:23] <urlin2u> raj-darkmystery  in theat computer run sudo fdisk -lu  and pastebin the results
[11:23] <zalun> how to install supervisor on karmic? http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=supervisor
[11:23] <urlin2u> that
[11:23] <raj-darkmystery> urlin2u, sure
[11:24] <zalun> I can pip install supervisor, but no init.d service is gonna be created
[11:24] <chocobanana2> wildbat: already tried that before… to no avail.
[11:24] <zalun> is it enough to just copy it from other machine?
[11:25] <raj-darkmystery> urlin2u, http://paste.ubuntu.com/675876/
[11:26] <urlin2u> raj-darkmystery, so as I suspected the boot flag is on the extended, it should be on a ntfs partition, is that Windows 7
[11:26] <raj-darkmystery> urlin2u, vista
[11:26] <wildbat> chocobanana2:  too bad then ~  you can  modify the grub menu and make a entry to boot ISO thou ~ good luck :>
[11:27]  * I\O_Error has occurred
[11:27] <urlin2u> raj-darkmystery, we can guess here and try each ntfs or run a script that will tell us I rather run the script what do you think?
[11:27] <raj-darkmystery> urlin2u, so what can we do to make it normal as in my other machines i never saw boot flag on extended one
[11:28] <urlin2u> raj-darkmystery, the fdisk shows the flag on sda4
[11:28] <oCean> I\O_Error: please stop that
[11:28] <raj-darkmystery> urlin2u, do you have the script or if you can tell me how i can find out that?
[11:29] <I\O_Error> oCean some fun :p
[11:30] <oCean> I\O_Error: not in this channel please
[11:30] <wildbat> !bootinfoscript | raj-darkmystery
[11:30] <raj-darkmystery> urlin2u, sda2 was c-drive previously
[11:31] <urlin2u> raj-darkmystery, easiest way is to run this script you will down load it, exract the desktop the run the sudo bash ~/Desktop/boot_info_script.sh  command a RESULTS.text will appear pastebin all the text from it  http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/
[11:31] <urlin2u> then ru*
[11:31] <setac> problrm with install11.04 freeze on start any halp
[11:31] <urlin2u> raj-darkmystery, if that is confusing just ask questions.
[11:32] <raj-darkmystery> sure urlin2u 'm downloading the script
[11:33] <urlin2u> raj-darkmystery, the script is best as I suspect the C partition is not the boot partition, as you had a recovery, maybe still do so the boot gets spread around, so the flag goes to a specific partition.
[11:36] <ben_> whats up chickens
[11:37] <michael_> hi
[11:37] <raj-darkmystery> urlin2u, its not executing.. permission denied even as a root

[11:37] <urlin2u> raj-darkmystery, where is the script?
[11:38] <michael_> kann mir jemand helfen ich versuche mein thrustmaster lenkrad zum laufen zu bekommen aber es klappt nicht so ganz

[11:38] <mang0> setac: Please give us some more infomation
[11:38] <I\O_Error> setac try alt-control-F1

[11:38] <urlin2u> raj-darkmystery, cool
[11:39] <raj-darkmystery> urlin2u, you want to see output of that file
[11:39] <raj-darkmystery> urlin2u, or do you want any special info?

[11:39] <raj-darkmystery> urlin2u, sure
[11:40] <urlin2u> raj-darkmystery, thanks ;-)
[11:40] <I\O_Error> setac: have you installed graphics?. If not then you are at tty7. known gub on 11.04
[11:43] <raj-darkmystery> urlin2u, http://paste.ubuntu.com/675885/ please observe this..
[11:45] <raj-darkmystery> urlin2u, any clues?
[11:45] <urlin2u> raj-darkmystery, your missing part of the boot files for vista, do you have a vista disc?
[11:45] <raj-darkmystery> yes
[11:46] <raj-darkmystery> urlin2u, yes, what 'm missing but?
[11:46] <mang0> any shutter screenshot users here?
[11:46] <urlin2u> raj-darkmystery, hold on you said which partition was C
[11:46] <qmr> what is a goodly amount of space for / ?  20gb?
[11:47] <raj-darkmystery> urlin2u, 'm nt sure but i thought its sda2 / sda3
[11:48] <urlin2u> raj-darkmystery, the sda2 is marked as recovery, but has most of the boot, but missing this   /bootmgr /Boot/BCD
[11:48] <bazhang> qmr, yes, thats more than enough
[11:48] <bazhang> qmr, presuming you have a separate /home, or not
[11:48] <qmr> bazhang: of course, /home and /tmp are separate
[11:48] <bazhang> qmr, then way ample
[11:49] <qmr> if I can figure out how, I will have /home shared between windoze and linux, and have it truecrypted
[11:49] <urlin2u> raj-darkmystery, should be this /bootmgr /Boot/BCD /Windows/System32/winload.exe
[11:49] <raj-darkmystery> urlin2u, so what 'm supposed to do with vista cd?
[11:49] <raj-darkmystery> urlin2u, where i can observe this?
[11:49] <urlin2u> raj-darkmystery, do you have gparted installed?
[11:49] <ibor> jejfdheohgfefooirewhgohgw
[11:49] <qmr> anyone else have this bug with unity where it draws both the app name and teh file tools menu etc in teh same place in upper left?
[11:49] <raj-darkmystery> yes urlin2u

[11:50] <ibor> kti
[11:50] <urlin2u> raj-darkmystery, open gparetd and right click sda2 and the flags then click boot.

[11:54] <apporc> hello , how are you all. i can see a file but when i execute it , bash said "no such file or directory"
[11:55] <apporc> anyone can help?
[11:55] <ikonia> apporc: if you type "ls" do you see the file
[11:55] <apporc> yes i can see it .
[11:55] <ikonia> apporc: what is the name of the file ?
[11:55] <apporc> it's no a link
[11:55] <ikonia> apporc: what ?
[11:56] <apporc> it's a binary executable file from googleearth
[11:56] <ikonia> apporc: what is the name of the file
[11:56] <apporc> googleearth-bin
[11:56] <ikonia> apporc: ls -la googleearth-bin
[11:56] <ikonia> apporc: please show me the output
[11:56] <apporc> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5452 2011-05-17 15:42 googleearth-bin
[11:57] <ikonia> apporc: what is the command you are using exactly
[11:57] <apporc> ./googleearth-bin
[11:57] <oCean> apporc: please check if you have the package "lsb-core" installed
[11:58] <apporc> i'am installing it .
[11:59] <OerHeks> ]
[11:59] <urlin2u> raj-darkmystery, you there hold on.
[12:00] <apporc> oCean: i installed lsb-core.
[12:00] <oCean> apporc: now try running the googleearth executable again
[12:00] <raj-darkmystery> urlin2u, ok
[12:01] <apporc> oCean: yeah, bash can see that file now . can you explain the reason for me . thank you verymuch ^_^
[12:01] <g0rby> Hello, could some one help me setting up dual screens with an nvidia gtx 260? The monitor is detected in nvidia control pannel, but i cant enable it there or in granr etc
[12:01] <oCean> apporc: I read about the reason once, but I forgot. I only remembered that this is the solution
[12:02] <urlin2u> raj-darkmystery, I think since the sda3 partition is not reading correctly, if you look at it it mentions raid or softraid and there are some other anomalies that you really need some help from the #windows channel
[12:03] <apporc> oCean: oh, thank you all all the same. the googleearth is really hard to install for ubuntu 64bit. now though bash see it .it still report errors/
[12:03] <g0rby> Could some one point me towards a faq or something for enableing dual screens with nvidia in 11.04?
[12:03] <urlin2u> raj-darkmystery, I am wondering about sda2 showing it marked as recovery it may be and sda3 is actualy C
[12:03] <Lafiir> I would like to disable a built-in webcam. Tried blacklisting the driver, but that did not work. Any other ideas?
[12:03] <urlin2u> raj-darkmystery, and sda3 is not being read, so we can't confirm that really.
[12:03] <Lafiir> Also I would like my bluetooth to be off on default. I managed to disable it by turning it off again in rc.local. Can I prevent it from turning on in the first place (with the option to turn it on any time during runtime)?
[12:04] <raj-darkmystery> urlin2u, let me confirm that but should i flag sda2 as bootable or not?
[12:04] <urlin2u> raj-darkmystery, not at the moment, on the #windows channel they use this script and they should look at it and help you get sda3 showing really.
[12:05] <urlin2u> raj-darkmystery, I'm not pushing you off but making sure this is done correctly, the sda3 showing errors is a needed fix.
[12:06] <urlin2u> raj-darkmystery, sda3 may just need a chldsk is all
[12:06] <urlin2u> chkdsk
[12:07] <g0rby> Hello, could some one help me setting up dual screens with an nvidia gtx 260? The monitor is detected in nvidia control pannel, but i cant enable it there or in granr etc
[12:07] <raj-darkmystery> urlin2u, so i need to consult with #windows channel... and what do you think is it ok if i run chkdsk on sda3 from mint machine?
[12:07] <kunal> Hi guys , i have an unusual problem . I am using a usb modem. sometimes i can get connected to internet via wvdial script, sometimes it fails. Can someone tell me what to do ?
[12:08] <Teotw> g0rby: tried going into monitors and changing it from there?
[12:08] <qmr> How does this "encrypt my home folder" business work?
[12:09] <g0rby> Teotw: Only one monitor is detected there, the only place i see it mentioned is in nvidia control pannel. The weird thing is, if i disable the nvidia binary driver, dual screens works with whatever the default driver is
[12:09] <urlin2u> raj-darkmystery, you would have to have the bootflag on sda3 and run the chkdsk /f/r from the live vista disc booted to the recovery terminal, it will ask you if you want it run on a restart, but you need the MS boot in the mbr as well.
[12:09] <urlin2u>  raj-darkmystery    not live vista but vista disc
[12:09] <Teotw> g0rby: sounds like a driver issue. Are there any other options for your nvidia driver when you go select which driver?
[12:10] <apporc> g0rby: i use two monitors at present too . but my card is ATI
[12:10] <Teotw> gr0by: if your card is ATI, you shouldnt have an nvidia driver!
[12:10] <urlin2u> raj-darkmystery, in other words this is fixable I think but I really think the help there in this part is better.
[12:10] <g0rby> Teotw: yeah, there is some other driver available, but its only listed when the nvidia one is removed
[12:11] <g0rby> teotw: is was called "experimental driver" or something
[12:11] <g0rby> it*
[12:11] <Dunas> Hrm. I can't get Ubuntu live iso 11.04 to boot off of this usb stick on a new HP Mini Netbook. It boots, flashes something like SYSLINUX (version number, other info, not an error message as far as I can tell) and then goes to a black screen with a blinking prompt cursor on it and nothing else. Can someone up?
[12:11] <Dunas> help*
[12:11] <Teotw> g0rby: if your card is ATI, why do you have an nvidia driver? you shouldnt need it.
[12:11] <g0rby> Teotw: i dont, apporc does.
[12:11] <raj-darkmystery> ok urlin2u thanks for sorting this out... i will try to check with windows channel as well thanks a lot :)
[12:11] <usr13> Dunas: md5sum the iso
[12:12] <g0rby> Teotw: i have a nv gtx 260
[12:12] <urlin2u> raj-darkmystery, no problem save that script, and show it to them.
[12:12] <Teotw> Dunas: I had that same problem trying to install linux on an ancient laptop of mine. I think it wouldnt allow live usb, try getting a cd and doing that.
[12:12] <raj-darkmystery> ok urlin2u  have posted this in windows channel but no response yet
[12:12] <usr13> Dunas: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes
[12:12] <urlin2u> raj-darkmystery, you will have to reload grub to the mbr when windows is fixed, just so yoiu know, it's pretty easy as well.
[12:12] <Teotw> g0rby: interesting...did you have this problem always or has it only just occured?
[12:13] <usr13> Dunas: Test memory  (run memtest)
[12:13] <g0rby> Teotw: in 10.04 it worked fine
[12:13] <g0rby> Teotw: and ive tried different releases of this nv-glx but the issue is persistant
[12:13] <Teotw> g0rby: well thats odd! umm...hm. try booting a livecd/usb of natty and seeing if it works in that - it might be an update problem or something..
[12:14] <Dunas> usr13, good call, looks like it corrupted.
[12:14] <g0rby> Teotw: gonna give the other 'experimental' driver a go
[12:14] <Teotw> g0rby: good luck!
[12:14] <usr13> Dunas: lucky guess  :P
[12:14] <urlin2u> raj-darkmystery, cool man I have to crash it is 5:14 am here, thanks for you keeping up and pushing through.;-)
[12:15] <g0rby> Teotw: It must be some issue with the nv dirver tho, since dual screens works fine when i remove the hardware drivers
[12:15] <raj-darkmystery> thanks to you urlin2u for helping me out in understanding this
[12:15] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedHome qmr
[12:15] <raj-darkmystery> hey urlin2u .. how i can add you in frnds list here?
[12:15] <urlin2u> raj-darkmystery, certainly.
[12:16] <Teotw> g0rby: true. try experimental then, usually theyre not *too* buggy..
[12:16] <Dunas> usr13, hope that was all it was, I'd hate to be stuck with Win7Starter on this little thing. :P
[12:16] <urlin2u> raj-darkmystery, not sure how that works though.
[12:16] <raj-darkmystery> urlin2u, lolz
[12:16] <raj-darkmystery> anyways have good sleep urlin2u
[12:16] <urlin2u> raj-darkmystery, just stop by and join the fun.;-)
[12:17] <raj-darkmystery> sure urlin2u ! have good sleep
[12:17] <wildbat> Dunas: check you ISO against md5sum yet?

[12:23] <yeats> TL1: do you like what you're using now?
[12:24] <TL1> yeats: yes ,but i like a theme change
[12:24] <yeats> TL1: I would run it with a liveCD for a while and see what I liked before upgrading

[12:25] <TL1> can unity run well in vm's

[12:26] <adante> jrib: i see, is this what superseded generally means?

[12:27] <jrib> adante: there are bugs at bugs.ubuntu.com for the package (that's how I found out).  To check, I: apt-get source aufs-tools; sudo apt-get build-dep aufs-tools; cd aufs-tools*; dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -rfakeroot # then notice it doesn't build
[12:27] <Dunas> Argh, new iso isn't solving the issue. Same problem as before.
[12:28] <yeats> TL1: if you decided to upgrade, you can run in Ubuntu Classic mode if you don't like Unity - it's default GNOME2
[12:28]  * yeats runs in classic mode
[12:28] <adante> jrib: impressive - thanks for your help
[12:29] <TL1> anyway it is better to keep receiving the LTS updates
[12:29] <TL1> for years
[12:29] <jrib> adante: I don't know if any of the bug comments have a workaround.   If not, fix yourself or see if it's fixed in oneiric
[12:29] <wildbat> adante: there are unionfs-fuse , they are similar ~ you may wanna have a look.
[12:29] <yeats> TL1: sounds like you've made a decision ;-)
[12:30] <TL1> yeats: I'm saving on my downloads  :p
[12:30] <Dunas> Hrm. I can't get Ubuntu live iso 11.04 to boot off of this usb stick on a new HP Mini Netbook. It boots, flashes something like SYSLINUX (version number, other info, not an error message as far as I can tell) and then goes to a black screen with a blinking prompt cursor on it and nothing else, ISO md5 checks out. Can anyone help?
[12:31] <wildbat> Dunas: how you build it? may be try different method.
[12:31] <wildbat> !usb > Dunas
[12:32] <yeats> Dunas: you md5sum-ed the image?  did you verify the disk image when starting it up?  (might have to press something to get to the startup menu)
[12:33] <Gryllz> Blackbuntu is awesome!!!

[12:34] <pi1> hi, can anyone help me set up tor on ubuntu
[12:35] <yeats> !tor | pi1
[12:36] <TL1> yeats: however not on uptime
[12:37] <Dunas> I've tried LiLo, Universal USB Installer, unetbootin, and win32diskimager. None of them seem to do anything- if I use diskimager it just doesn't load at all.
[12:38] <wildbat> Dunas: try YUMI
[12:38] <adante> wildbat: thanks, was hoping to use aufs but i think this will do
[12:39] <adante> is there a way i can tell what sort of mount -t filesystems are supported by my system?
[12:40] <yeats> Dunas: if you're sure you want to install, you could try the alternate installer
[12:41] <yeats> !alternate | Dunas
[12:42] <yeats> Dunas: be warned though, there appears to be a bug in the 64-bit version that prevents installation of a full desktop (though you can install a basic system and run 'sudo tasksel' once installed)
[12:44] <dsnyders> Hi all!  Does ubuntu have lvm built in, or does it need to be loaded?
[12:44] <Dunas> yeats: I'll give it a shot. I don't think I need the 64-bit version for an Atom-based netbook, do I?
[12:47] <Teotw> dunas: netbooks are usually not 64 bit.
[12:48] <yeats> Dunas: no you wouldn't use 64-bit for that
[12:49] <yeats> dnivra: it's built in

[12:54] <Enari> I want to shrink that to 20G
[12:56] <zteam> Anybody here know a good way to burn Xbox 360 iso files in Ubuntu?
[12:57] <craig_> I'm getting an error trying to fire up a wine app.  What's the best way to "Install the Windows version of Mono" as I'm being directed to do when launching this app fails?
[12:57] <wildbat> Enari: boot live CD to do that ~ you will also need to do boot repair from there too
[12:57] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[12:57] <TL1> zteam: burn them as in windows using wine.
[12:58] <Enari> wildbat: uh, so windows can do that but ubuntu can't? o.O
[12:58] <Enari> Im disappointed
[12:58] <Enari> but thanks wildbat ;)
[12:58] <Teotw> craig_: is it an exe or msi file?
[12:58] <wildbat> Enari: i don't know windows can resize C: now XD
[12:59] <craig_> Teotw, it's an exe, and I just got a little farther by typing in mono app.exe instead of wine app.exe.  Duh...  I didn't realize that's how things worked.  This is weird, having quit windows years ago, to be having to run windows apps...
[13:01] <zteam> TL1, okey, will try that
[13:01] <zteam> TL1, :-)
[13:02] <zteam> TL1, but it seems a little strange that there is no easy way to this without wine
[13:02] <Teotw> craig_: i hear winetricks is good for installing mono. ill check for a tutorial on it
[13:02] <motz> I just switched on my laptop lenovo b560 with ubuntu 10 and both mouse and keybord are stuck. Any hint?
[13:02] <stimpie> After several upgrades unity does not start, I get the old gnome interface?
[13:03] <stimpie> motz does your keyboard work in the bios?
[13:03] <Teotw> craig_:try going here: http://www.zubinbharucha.com/2011/04/installing-windows-version-of-mono-to.html , assuming you want to install the windows version.
[13:04] <motz> stimpie, no, I can't enter the bios because the key f2 doesn't react
[13:04] <Teotw> craig_: hope the link helped.
[13:04] <stimpie> motz that sounds like a hardware error
[13:05] <motz> stimpie, maybe, so what should I do?
[13:06] <TL1> zteam: there is a lot of burners i'm sure in open-source world but do you want to test them all ?
[13:07] <TL1> zteam: you know open-sourcers don't care about ms products even the xbox360
[13:07] <zteam> TL1, I tried with K3b used setting that should work but it didn't
[13:08] <Dunas> 360's nice if you don't have a gaming computer 8)
[13:08] <Teotw> ztem: try this, http://biodegradablegeek.com/2009/03/burning-xbox-360-games-on-linux-stealth/
[13:08] <TL1> zteam: if you have an hdd you can load them directly from it (for modded xbox)
[13:09] <TL1> zteam: i mean a usb one
[13:09] <zteam> TL1, no I don't :-)
[13:09] <TL1> zteam: i read about that once (but ill just shut up for not to go off-topic)
[13:10] <TL1>  ;)
[13:10] <qmr> this unity thing is very half baked
[13:10] <qmr> shouldn't be default UI
[13:10] <Teotw> zteam: try this, http://biodegradablegeek.com/2009/03/burning-xbox-360-games-on-linux-stealth/ (whoops spelt your name wrong first time)
[13:11] <ActionParsnip> qmr: don't use it then
[13:11] <Teotw> qmr: true dat.
[13:11] <DasEi> !classic | qmr
[13:11] <qmr> I can't even shut down the machine
[13:11] <ActionParsnip> qmr: default in Linux meas very little, as the OS is so very customizable
[13:11] <qmr> DasEi: I know how to manage packages, thanks.
[13:11] <Teotw> qmr: not even with halt in the terminal?
[13:11] <ActionParsnip> qmr: top right should let you shutdown there
[13:12] <qmr> Teotw: I know I can do init 6, shutdown, reboot, or whatever, I'm saying there is no way to get out of the gui, and this is going to be confusing for a luser
[13:12] <ActionParsnip> qmr: if you want the desktop to look like maverick, simply log off and select Ubuntu Classic at the login screen, from Oneiric onwards, Unity-2D replaces Ubuntu CLassic
[13:12] <qmr> ActionParsnip: yea, it only had "suspend", but now it does nothing when I click there
[13:12] <TL1> I didn't test unity yet but i have started to hate it already (LOL seems people are united by that)
[13:13] <ActionParsnip> TL1: I can take it or leave it, I use LXDE personally :)
[13:13] <ActionParsnip> qmr: which release are you using?
[13:13] <qmr> TL1: well, it's got some nice / smart things, but it's not ripe at all

[13:16] <anadon> Hey, VMware player can't install because it can't build and install a kernel module
[13:16] <ActionParsnip> !vmware | anadon
[13:16] <Teotw> anadon: try virtualbox instead.
[13:17] <ActionParsnip> anadon: may give a step or two you have missed
[13:17] <yeats> anadon: or KVM
[13:17] <craig_> Teotw, we'll see in a bit...
[13:17] <anadon> which is best for windows 7?
[13:17] <ActionParsnip> anadon: any
[13:17] <yeats> anadon: probably VirtualBox
[13:17] <ActionParsnip> anadon: virtualbox is a bit easier to setup
[13:17] <anadon> ok, thanks!
[13:18] <yeats> !VirtualBox
[13:18] <ActionParsnip> qmr: which release does the command say you are using?
[13:18] <gdzhang> can I set compiz don't darken my screen when i tab twice and it cant find any to list?
[13:18] <ActionParsnip> gdzhang: its a setting in ccsm
[13:19] <gdzhang> ActionParsnip : thank U ,im going to find it
[13:23] <zteam> Teotw, I tried that but for some reason it complained about the the filename with that growfs-command
[13:23] <Teotw> zteam: are you sure you typed it correctly?
[13:24] <Teotw> zteam: didnt miss out any /'s
[13:24] <gdzhang> ActionParsnip: ccms have 6 tabs [info][animations][effects][desktop][accessibility] ,and [edges] ....so where to set the .#tab twice# darken my screen  ...

[13:26] <zteam> Teotw, yes, but maybe it needed the full path
[13:26] <ActionParsnip> gdzhang: I think theres a bit named 'crash'   search for it. I've not used compiz in a good while
[13:26] <zteam> Teotw, trying with imgburn now
[13:26] <Lafiir> Upon installation Ubuntu created two partitions the size of my ram. One is for swap. Whats the other one for?
[13:26] <ActionParsnip> zteam: burn SLOWLY
[13:26] <jrib> Lafiir: where does it get mounted?
[13:26] <Teotw> zteam: sometimes it needs full path, yes.
[13:26] <ActionParsnip> Lafiir: you will have swap and /
[13:27] <ActionParsnip> Lafiir: / is for system files, swap is like the page file in Windows
[13:27] <Teotw> zteam: and yes, as ActionParsnip said, burn SLOWLY, and also a simulation before you do it never hurt anyone.
[13:27] <DasEi> Lafiir: I think you talk about the extended part, that's a virtual partition for lvm
[13:27] <gdzhang> ActionParsnip: thx for your Suggest. i'll find for sm crash
[13:28] <Peppe80> Hi, I'm running ubuntu 11.04 on an zotax nd-22 nvidia ion chip computer. For some reason hardware acceleration of flash in the browser does not seem to work, I have the latest nvidia driver, and the adobe-check-box hardware-acceleration is checked, but it does not seem to use the GPU as my cpu is up around 99%. (btw additional drivers say nvidia ~activated but not in use))
[13:28] <nailox> hi all. can someone tell why when I try to edit with nano /etc/apache2/httpd.conf it shows a blank file ?
[13:28] <Lafiir> DasEi: well, its an extended partition /dev/sda2 and i don't think its mounted anywhere
[13:28] <Quintin> so I just imaged my stuff to a new hard disk, and now after I login to windows, I'm immediately logged off.  what's up with that??
[13:29] <Lafiir> ActionParsnip: yes. I have / and swap. and one more the size if swap which doesn't seem to do anything
[13:29] <dnivra> nailox: you're trying to open the file as a user who doesn't have permission to open it probably?
[13:29] <ActionParsnip> nailox: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=903386
[13:30] <DasEi> Lafiir: this is no "real" partition, it's a way to make it possible to have more than just 4 partitions on the disk, it takes no space, also, that's just your swap in there
[13:30] <Peppe80> Anyone managed to get flash hardware-acceleration working for ION on ubuntu 11.04?
[13:30] <zteam> Teotw, will do :-)
[13:31] <nailox> ActionParsnip i tried with sudo its the same :S
[13:31] <DasEi> Lafiir: you can only have 4 primary part. in a disk, but in an extended you can have lots of more partitions
[13:32] <Lafiir> DasEi: ah ok. I added each capacities up and your right. thanks
[13:32] <Teotw> Lafir: But you cant put windows in an extended partition. it will only allow itself to be put in a primary partition, afaik.
[13:32] <ActionParsnip> Peppe80: may help grab the 64bit flash, may help: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/09/install-64bit-flash-from-a-ppa-or-deb/
[13:32] <DasEi> Lafiir: np, lookup df -h for sizes and their fillings
[13:33] <ActionParsnip> Peppe80: remember to remove the current flash stuffs
[13:33] <nailox> ActionParsnip thx i got it
[13:33] <ActionParsnip> nailox: I don't even run apache, all I did was websearch
[13:41] <faint545>  im trying to install Ubuntu Server 10.04 from a USB cdrom drive and it cant find/mount the drive itself so i need to manually mount it but I dont know where the USB CDROM drive is mounted. is there a way where I can find this out?
[13:41] <Dunas> Argh! The alternative iso is giving me the same problem, it won't boot properly, gaaah
[13:43] <Teotw> Dunas: whats the problem?
[13:43] <pirategrid> join #SpacePirates
[13:43] <pirategrid> wrong box hahah
[13:43] <ActionParsnip> faint545: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
[13:44] <faint545> ActionParsnip, i know for a fact the ISO is perfectly fine. I've used it for previous installs
[13:44] <Dunas> Teotw: I can't get Ubuntu Live or Alternative iso 11.04 to boot off of this usb stick on a new HP Mini Netbook. It boots, flashes something like SYSLINUX (version number, other info, not an error message as far as I can tell) and then goes to a black screen with a blinking prompt cursor on it and nothing else, the MD5 checks out and everything.
[13:45] <faint545> ActionParsnip, my problem is similar to this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=999022
[13:45] <faint545> ActionParsnip, except, i dont know where my USB CDROM is located so I cant mount it
[13:46] <Teotw> Dunas: i had that issue installing linux on my ancient laptop. i fixed it by using a cd, which i assume you've done already?
[13:46] <Dunas> Teotw, it's a netbook, I don't have a USB CD drive
[13:46] <Teotw> Dunas: however, i have a cunning plan. Ok, not really, but you can install ubuntu without a cd / usb / dvd -- wubi.
[13:47] <Teotw> Dunas: go to the ubuntu website, click "get ubuntu" and then click "Run it with Windows"

[13:49] <yeats> Dunas: what you're describing happened to me with an HP Probook (you mentioned HP and that rang a bell) - try the solution suggested in that thread
[13:49] <yeats> Dunas: it worked for me
[13:49] <ActionParsnip> faint545: try the boot option:     cdrom-detect/try-usb=true

[13:49] <Lafiir> Is there a visual indicator for changing display brightness on a notebook (with function keys) like when changing volume?
[13:49] <Dunas> yeats, I can set that from the BIOS?
[13:50] <yeats> Dunas: no - it's a boot option
[13:50] <Dunas> yeats, It doesn't boot to the USB menu at all. It just sits there at a blank screen with a flashing cursor.
[13:50] <yeats> Dunas: it has been a while since this happened to me, so I'm not fresh on how it is done - let me fire up a live CD in a VM
[13:51] <ActionParsnip> Dunas: what video chip do you use?
[13:52] <Dunas> ActionParsnip, Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3150. The actual netbook is http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02861759&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=5111868 that one.
[13:54] <grinbull> hi all
[13:54] <ActionParsnip> Dunas: add the boot option: nomodeset
[13:55] <craig_> I'm trying to run an app with wine ( mono ParadigmPlus.exe ) and get this error: http://moultonlumber.com/Screenshot.png  If I run it with: wine ParadigmPlus.exe  I get "Install the Windows version of Mono to run .NET executables" which I have already done.
[13:55] <faint545> ActionParsnip, that didnt work..
[13:55] <Dunas> ActionParsnip, as it comes out of the BIOS boot sequence and tries to load from the USB stick, it flashes SYSLINUX version information and details about the program, and then goes to a black screen with a flashing _ cursor, not to the Ubuntu live boot menu where I could set boot options.
[13:56] <ActionParsnip> Dunas: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
[13:57] <E3D3> How can I read an extern HPFS/NTFS file-system ?
[13:57] <ActionParsnip> E3D3: nautilus can do that already
[13:57] <jrib> E3D3: plug it in and click on it
[13:57] <yeats> Dunas: can you hit a key right after the SYSLINUX message? or does it *immediately* go to the black screen with cursor (menu does not appear by default)
[13:57] <E3D3> I'm using Dolpin & never tried with Nautilus. Will try it immediatly. Thanks
[13:57] <bbnnmm> anyone knows a fix for this problem, when i use 3 slashes file:///  i can open the fike i want to but not with 2 slashes
[13:58] <ActionParsnip> E3D3: dolphin can do it too
[13:58] <jrib> bbnnmm: what?
[13:58] <yeats> bbnnmm: using which program?
[13:58] <ActionParsnip> E3D3: installing nautilus will pull in a TONNE of gtk deps and bloat your OS
[13:58] <bbnnmm> android
[13:58] <ActionParsnip> bbnnmm: android is an OS, not an app
[13:58] <CoverSlide> bbnnmm: three slashes is correct
[13:58] <ActionParsnip> !info android
[13:59] <bbnnmm> i know
[13:59] <ActionParsnip> bbnnmm: so how is it related to Ubuntu?
[13:59] <bbnnmm> i mean the dolphin too on android
[13:59] <CoverSlide> file:// is the protocol, and the third slash makes it an absolute path
[13:59] <CoverSlide> no other way to do it my friend
[13:59] <bbnnmm> its not i think it has to do with linux
[13:59] <ActionParsnip> bbnnmm: so you want to access the files in your Android device via Dolphin?
[13:59] <bbnnmm> and u r the linux msters
[13:59] <DrGrov> God day everyone. How can I connect a Apple bluetooth Magic Mouse in 11.04? I have an issue that it asks for a pairing code and I do not know where to get that.
[14:00] <ActionParsnip> bbnnmm: is that what you want?
[14:00] <ikonia> bbnnmm: this channel only supports ubuntu
[14:00] <bbnnmm> yes
[14:00] <Dunas> ActionParsnip: I went and checked that one more time, and yes, the md5s match up
[14:00] <bbnnmm> without the rhird slash
[14:00] <E3D3> ActionParsnip: Dolpin & Nautilus don't see it but I can see it with my disk-tool
[14:00] <shane2peru> anyway to convert complex html page with frames to a pdf?  or even ebook?
[14:01] <bbnnmm> is there a way to edit path or something so that i dont need for the third slash
[14:01] <ikonia> bbnnmm: are you using ubuntu ?
[14:01] <CoverSlide> the third slash is an incorrect path
[14:01] <Moshanator> Drgrov: use 0000
[14:01] <ActionParsnip> bbnnmm: your android device should ask if you want to mount the storage, you need to select this and it will then be seen as a simple USB hard drive.Remember to safetly remove the storage whe you are done
[14:01] <CoverSlide> i mean without the third slash
[14:01] <bbnnmm> not ubuntu i have ubuntu on my box but asking about android
[14:02] <ActionParsnip> E3D3: does:   sudo fdisk -l   show the partition?
[14:02] <ikonia> bbnnmm: ok - then this channel is not the correct place to ask
[14:02] <DrGrov> Moshanator: Ok, I will try now. I got it the mouse on my better half's laptop
[14:02] <bbnnmm> come on u r the linux heros
[14:02] <ikonia> bbnnmm: no, try #android
[14:02] <E3D3> ActionParsnip: It has no/blanco outpu
[14:02] <ActionParsnip> bbnnmm: the channel has a clear subject
[14:02] <E3D3> output
[14:03] <bbnnmm> ok

[14:04] <E3D3> ActionParsnip: Yes, I tried it twice but broke yesterday my shift-button so I try again
[14:04] <ActionParsnip> E3D3: you don't need shift....
[14:04] <E3D3> I need for my password
[14:04] <Moshanator> maybe his password is such
