[00:01] <austin182> Okay! I have much to learn
[00:03] <MonkeyDust> ev_  cant think of anything else
[00:03] <Terre> I'm having networking disabled shown. Using 10.04. How do I go about solving this?
[00:04] <DropsOfSerenity> why does under system settings -> Details -> graphics, it shows the correct driver: Geforce GTX 260, but says the Experience: Standard, is that normal?
[00:04] <MonkeyDust> Terre  try ifup eth0
[00:07] <Terre> MonkeyDust, showing failed to open statefile, permission denied
[00:07] <MonkeyDust> Terre  try with sudo
[00:08] <MonkeyDust> Terre  or else sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[00:10] <chinesedragon>
[00:11] <Terre> MonkeyDust, ignoring unknown I/f etho equal to etho (sorry typing from mobiusstriper le)
[00:11] <MonkeyDust> Terre  eth0, not eth0
[00:11] <MonkeyDust> Terre  eth0, not etho
[00:12] <nositelicense> Any help with Grub video modes in here. I don't want break Grub.cnf I get video mode not supported. Windows is on another HDD so I've just been avoiding this with the BIOS boot menu I have looked into grub.cfg and it seem it does set video parameters. :/
[00:14] <Terre> MonkeyDust, yea eth0 typed it, the other command shows reconfiguring
[00:15] <Terre> But doesn't do anything
[00:15] <MonkeyDust> Terre  use pastebin to show us the content of /etc/network/interfaces
[00:16] <kingkatari> how do i check and see what video cards Ubuntu 11.10 is detecting
[00:16] <javierf_> Hi! ubuntu calculator doesn't recognize Supr . button as decimals, as I have spanish language and we use "," instead. This makes it very slow to tape the numbers... someone knows how to change this? I've been googling it with no success...

[00:20] <i7c> skype works fine on my ubuntu for some mins and then the video starts getting weird. looks like small squares moving, like snippets of the real video. seems that the compression doesn't work well. any ideas how to fix that?

[00:22] <i7c> [HCI]Maraakate: install openssh-server
[00:22] <Terre> MonkeyDust, on my phone, couldn't use pastebin
[00:23] <MonkeyDust> ah
[00:23] <[HCI]Maraakate> no ssh
[00:23] <[HCI]Maraakate> sorry
[00:23] <[HCI]Maraakate> meant to say i dont want any ssh
[00:23] <Ben64> why not? its the standard for remote access
[00:24] <[HCI]Maraakate> its isolated network i want to be able to use windows 98 if i really have to
[00:24] <i7c> [HCI]Maraakate: what does putty support besides that?? and whats wrong with ssh?
[00:24] <[HCI]Maraakate> and DOS
[00:24] <[HCI]Maraakate> because i do use that for dev work
[00:24] <i7c> DOS lol. does does support telnet?
[00:24] <Terre> MonkeyDust, written those two lines above
[00:26] <i7c> [HCI]Maraakate: what's the benefit of developing on DOS but running stuff on linux? don't get it
[00:26] <[HCI]Maraakate> yes theres a telnet clinet

[00:31] <bigkitty> hi

[00:32] <bigkitty> oh, no
[00:34] <harold> hey, if I get 11.10, when 12.04 comes is upgrading a simple matter of doing "sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade"?
[00:34] <Xabster> i think it's dist-upgrade or something, but yeah it's a simple command but it takes quite some time i've heard
[00:35] <MonkeyDust> harold  no, you need dist-upgrade
[00:35] <harold> so, "apt-get dist-upgrade" and that's it?
[00:36] <MonkeyDust> harold  fresh install is faster, but first backup your installed programs
[00:36] <harold> what's the likelihood of it being a really seamless transition that doesn't break anything? this is on a server machine that's pretty slim and has just an instance of wordpress being served with apache and that's it
[00:36] <MonkeyDust> harold  or backup all if you do not have a separate /home partition
[00:38] <Xabster> harold, try asking in #ubuntu+1 - more people there have tried

[00:49] <rodrigo_davy> hey, does anyone know a program to use and old laptop as an external monitor via usb?
[00:49] <marcm> i7c which Ubuntu version?
[00:49] <i7c> rodrigo_davy: why not via lan? vnc? or not good enough that way?
[00:50] <i7c> marcm: one runs on 11.04 the other one on 10.10
[00:50] <i7c> no it's 11.10 too
[00:50] <rodrigo_davy> i7c: I guess that would do too
[00:50] <marcm> i7c nope, my customers stick to LTS releases. I have the whole 9 yards from 9.10 to 11.10... everyone's on 10.04 :)
[00:51] <rodrigo_davy> i7c: I mean i prefer usb but there is no other way
[00:51] <rodrigo_davy> i7c: *but if there is no other way...
[00:51] <marcm> i7c that's why I am throwing 12.04 Beta at them. They can just apt-get their way to the release
[00:51] <i7c> rodrigo_davy: i don't know a way via usb. maybe there is. but vnc works for sure. just install one of the many vnc servers and a client on your notebook.
[00:52] <i7c> marcm: LTS is nice indeed :)
[00:53] <rodrigo_davy> i7c: i want to be able to put half of the desktop in one notebook and the other half in the other, is that possible with vnc?
[00:53] <marcm> i7c figured it out. networking isn't confugured right... damn you xen! I have a more streight forward approach to making templates: I first install the distro on Xen HVM, then convert it to Xen PV, and finally I apply the latest updates, do cleanup and reset the config files.
[00:54] <Terre> MonkeyDust, added two lines
[00:54] <i7c> rodrigo_davy: ohhh not sure, but i would really guess it is possible.

[01:31] <Microman171> IE some kind of terminal web client so I can log in?
[01:31] <jrbjr> i neecd to know where I can find the file for cron so I can delete it or use terminal to reset crontab
[01:32] <steffen123> jrbjr, login in text mode (ctrl+alt+f1), the files will be somewhere in /etc, dont know where exactly in ubuntu
[01:32] <jrbjr> ok
[01:33] <steffen123> Microman171, lynx and links are textmode browsers, unless the website is stupid and requires a proper full browser you should be able to it with those
[01:33] <Microman171> Are they included with a standard ubuntu server distro?
[01:33] <Microman171> I have no network access until I log in
[01:33] <steffen123> dont know, but i doubt it
[01:34] <Microman171> Nope :-(
[01:34] <steffen123> try elinks and links2. but i also doubt they're default
[01:34] <Microman171> Nope, neither are included
[01:35] <Microman171> I can transfer them over a USB stick if that's possible?
[01:35] <steffen123> i would think so, but im not a debian/ubuntu expert (not in the least lol) so i dont know how

[01:40] <prcd6x1> looking for help with the bcm 4311 wifi card
[01:40] <sanjeev[home]> I am trying to reinstall windows on a dual boot PC with Ubuntu. I want to preserve Ubuntu and only install windows in the existing partition. Is this possible?
[01:40] <phillijw> prcd6x1: I think im using that card
[01:41] <sanjeev[home]> I have recovery CD
[01:41] <prcd6x1> Phil, tried a lot of stuff, but Im a noob and i can't get it to work
[01:41] <phillijw> sanjeev[home]: I think windows will overwrite the boot sector (unless new versions do it smarter)
[01:42] <phillijw> prcd6x1: there is a b43 driver. Use that?
[01:43] <sanjeev[home]> phillijw, thanks. Yes, that was my guess too. Will it overwrite grub ?
[01:43] <phillijw> sanjeev[home]: I think it overwrites grub... you may have to put grub back on it. I'd make a backup of your grub config
[01:44] <phillijw> sanjeev[home]: I should point out that I'm not super linux boy or anything so my advice may suck
[01:44] <TheAndyRoid> It defiantly overwrites the grub. Had to reinstall it from disc.
[01:44] <sanjeev[home]> phillijw, never mind. I went to Windows 8 and it has numerous issues
[01:44] <steffen123> sanjeev[home], afaik windows overwrites the boto sector
[01:44] <steffen123> *boot sector
[01:44] <steffen123> it will not overwrite your grub config
[01:45] <sanjeev[home]> steffeb123, phillijw, so I guess I will spend rest of today reinstalling both
[01:45] <steffen123> unless microsoft managed to make their installer even worse than it already was, but i doubt that
[01:45] <sanjeev[home]> steffeb123, phillijw, thank you both
[01:45] <steffen123> oh no need for that
[01:45] <sanjeev[home]> steffeb123, oh.. really
[01:45] <phillijw> fixing grub should be pretty straightforward
[01:45] <steffen123> sanjeev[home], http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/articles/backing_up_your_master_boot_record
[01:46] <steffen123> you do this before you install windows: dd if=/dev/hda of=/home/richmondg/mbr_backup bs=512 count=1
[01:47] <steffen123> then do this after you installed windows: dd if=/path/to/mbr_backup of=/dev/hda bs=512 count=1
[01:47] <steffen123> you'll need to put the file on a usb stick or sth like that. and you'll need a boot cd/stick after installing windows to be able to run that command (the ubuntu install disk is fine for this task)
[01:48] <sanjeev[home]> steffeb123, thanks
[01:48] <sanjeev[home]> steffeb123, will try it out
[01:48] <steffen123> also replace hda with the linux name of your hard drive. it is most likely sda

[02:10] <shadowmind> hi
[02:10] <shadowmind> is jemand da ?
[02:11] <luckybunny> Hi folks... I'm currently using an NVIDIA driver which I downloaded from their site, but I notice a newer version of the same driver is installed on my system from the repos... I'm just wondering how I can stop using the older self-installed driver and start using the repo version
[02:11] <bobweaver> Terre,  please post the dmesg | ath9k     are there error   dmesg tell us what is going on on boot  ath9k is you wireless mod(driver )
[02:11] <shadowmind> lightdm stop
[02:12] <bobweaver> luckybunny,  drop to tty and then run the sh ./Nividawhatever remove
[02:12] <luckybunny> bobweaver: that'll automatically start using the repo version?
[02:12] <bobweaver> luckybunny, then you can add xorg or crack pushers repo
[02:13] <steffen123> shadowmind, ich glaub du suchst #ubuntu-de ;)
[02:14] <helo1> When I use the ls -l or ll command, what does it mean for a file to have an * at the end
[02:14] <bobweaver> luckybunny,  https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa  <~~ unstable     https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates   <~~~ stable
[02:14] <shadowmind> ich probier das erste mal den x chat ;-9
[02:14] <shadowmind> natürlich such ich auch infos für ubuntu ;-)
[02:14] <luckybunny> how come the xorg repos?
[02:14] <steffen123> shadowmind, gib dies ein: /join #ubuntu-de
[02:14] <bobweaver> helo1,  the * is a wild card it matches everthing after
[02:14] <Terre> bobweaver, no error message I suppose
[02:15] <helo1> bobweaver: the ls -l and ll command is returning that to me
[02:15] <bobweaver> luckybunny, you said you wanted bleeding edge
[02:15] <TheAndyRoid> nvidia-current causing issues recently?

[02:16] <luckybunny> bobweaver: nope, I was aiming at the one currently installed from the regular ubuntu repos, that I haven't been using for some time.. it's newer than the ones I keep downloading from NVIDIA and manually installing every time I update the kernel.. figured I'd save myself the hassle of manually installing if I just stick with the ubuntu one
[02:17] <bobweaver> +1 luckybunny  also with the other repos
[02:17] <bobweaver> luckybunny,  the repos I posted are like the cutting edge ones they take and mod the ones from the site (I think)
[02:18] <bobweaver> and redo them
[02:18] <luckybunny> yeah, I used xorg edgers with my old card
[02:18] <helo1> Can anyone explain how to get security=user working in smb.conf? Authentication fails even when I provide a user/pass who has an acct on the ubuntu box
[02:18] <Terre> bobweaver, typing from phone, what do I do next?
[02:18] <luckybunny> because that wouldn't handle anything (it was GeForce 2Ti)
[02:19] <luckybunny> edgers had it working :P
[02:19] <bobweaver> Terre,  do a rfkill list all    again all no's ?
[02:20] <chandu> hi every one..
[02:20] <helo1> hi
[02:21] <chandu> some one help me out in Samba and Active directory
[02:21] <helo1> hehe I am having Samba problems too... no luck and my setup is rather simple.
[02:21] <BootGuy> How can I install grub on my secondary disk without destroying the NTFS filesystem that is currently on it? (from windows 7 if possible, or from Ubuntu livecd if I must)
[02:22] <tomgeorge> can anyone here help on glade?
[02:22] <helo1> BootGuy: you have to boot into the live CD
[02:22] <tomgeorge> Glade Interface Designer
[02:22] <BootGuy> ok, and do what?
[02:22] <helo1> BootGuy: one sec while I find you the tutorial. Worked really nicely for me a month ago
[02:23] <BootGuy> helol: Thanks, I appreciate it.
[02:25] <Terre> bobweaver, yes all no s
[02:26] <TechIsCool> hey everyone I have a ubuntu server that I was working on and i ran a bash command and what happened next I need help with its could not find any files after I ran it. then I tried to reboot it and now I get run-init : /sbin/init: no such file or directory
[02:26] <TechIsCool> can anyone helpme
[02:26] <helo1> BootGuy: I will keep looking for the one I used as it isn't coming up for the google searches I tried. In the meantime, I came across this, let me know if it is relevant. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[02:27] <bobweaver> Terre,  sudo rmmod ath9k && sudo modprobe ath9k &&  sudo service networking stop  &&  sudo service networking start             anything ?
[02:27] <Logan_> TechIsCool: What command did you run?
[02:27] <TechIsCool> I ran a mysql backup script but I had change the path and I thought I had not define it
[02:27] <TechIsCool> Logan_:
[02:28] <Logan_> TechIsCool: Did the script have sudo access?
[02:28] <TechIsCool> Logan_: yes
[02:28] <Logan_> TechIsCool: Then it's entirely possible that important files were deleted.
[02:28] <Ben64> TechIsCool: what did you run exactly
[02:29] <Logan_> TechIsCool: You might have to reinstall/repair your installation.
[02:29] <TechIsCool> How can I repair the install or is it a format
[02:29] <TechIsCool> this is server not gui
[02:29] <BootGuy> helol: I will go try. Thanks.
[02:30] <Ben64> TechIsCool: if you don't show the command or script you ran, the likelihood of someone here fixing your problem is very small
[02:30] <TechIsCool> Ben64: http://shirker.blog.com/2010/03/29/daily-rsnapshot-backup-mysql-db-mysqldump-gzip-rsync/ this and I replaced the BAKRSNROOT=/raid5/mysql_dump with BAKRSNROOT=
[02:30] <TechIsCool> the top script not bottom
[02:31] <helo1> BootGuy: let me know how it goes. I'm bothered that I can't find that tutorial as it was extremely useful for fixing boot issues.
[02:31] <TechIsCool> I would assume it deleted root right... fail
[02:32] <Ben64> TechIsCool: you set BAKRSNROOT as what?
[02:32] <TechIsCool> Ben64: blank
[02:32] <TechIsCool> I failed at setting a folder unintentional
[02:32] <TechIsCool> I know it happened though
[02:32] <kaphe> hello, im getting a Warning dealing mainly with libreoffice updates about authentication failures - is that normal? i was just adding those ppas a few months ago...

[02:33] <Ben64> TechIsCool: and you ran the script as root i guess?
[02:33] <TechIsCool> Ben64: Yup
[02:34] <jigrap> is there any support for clickpads? i cant get right click to work
[02:34] <Ben64> yeah, thats not good, but there shouldn't really be anything in / that could be deleted like that

[02:57] <darbe> hi
[02:57] <darbe> (gedit:32334): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
[02:57] <darbe> do you have any idea?
[02:59] <darbe> (gedit:32334): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
[02:59] <darbe> how can I fix this library error?
[02:59] <les> darbe: something is trying to reference a null object in gedit. best way to see what is happening is run gedit in gdb and then do whatever it you're doing to generate that and get the backtrace.
[03:00] <BootGuy> can grub be installed on a windows 7 partition (NTFS) without destorying the windows 7 boot files?
[03:00] <darbe> les: how can I run in gdb
[03:00] <les> darbe: gdb grub :)
[03:01] <darbe> les: it happend before
[03:01] <darbe> les: Somebody gave a command , so it worked
[03:01] <darbe> les: problem is it uses old library
[03:01] <les> darbe: you could try running ldconfig to update the cache maybe
[03:02] <darbe> two days ago it updated
[03:02] <darbe> les: nptohng is happening
[03:03] <darbe> les: it's done
[03:03] <darbe> it doesn't still work
[03:05] <les> darbe: well i don't know then. it's a generic glib error message so without more information i have no way of knowing what's going on.  if it happened two days ago and you fixed it, i suggest doing that agaiN!
[03:05] <darbe> les: i don't remember command
[03:06] <darbe> (gedit:430): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
[03:06] <darbe> anybody else any idea
[03:07] <sacarlson> I'm working on an auto install using preseed.cfg file for ubuntu 10.04,  I can get it to work when I use a none local mirror site but point it to my local mirror server fails
[03:07] <rinzler> So, if my computer overheated, would there have been some kind of ui message or alert before it happened, or am I stuck with trying to figure out how hot my computer is on my own?
[03:10] <darbe> (gedit:430): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
[03:10] <darbe> any idea?
[03:11] <trism> darbe: is it just that error or are you getting the errors about the schemas again?
[03:11] <darbe> trism: yes
[03:11] <reCAPTCHA> Hey all. My laptop has an internal wireless card (it is a macbook) and it is malfunctioning. I have a usb dongle to works great, but sometimes the internal wireless randomly takes over... and being that it does not work, I lose internet connection. So, is there a way to disable my internal wireless card?
[03:11] <darbe> trism: updated messed up
[03:11] <darbe> trism: what was the command
[03:11] <darbe> ?
[03:12] <trism> darbe: sudo glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/
[03:13] <darbe> trism: Thanks. I noted this time
[03:14] <trism> darbe: you should take a look at which packages were updated today before it broke
[03:15] <darbe> trism: How?
[03:16] <trism> darbe: you could check /var/log/apt/history.log
[03:17] <trism> darbe: there is also a history section in software center if you use that
[03:17] <darbe> trism: http://paste.ubuntu.com/928891/
[03:17] <darbe> trism: I prefer synaptic
[03:27] <delinquentme> also i was wondering how difficult it is to remove old choices from the boot up menu
[03:29] <reCAPTCHA> Hey, can someone tell me how to disable my internal wireless card? I have a USB wifi dongle instead...
[03:29] <trism> darbe: can you try: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -f install;
[03:29] <darbe> trism: absolutely
[03:29] <AnthonyUK> Hi ppl, in an effort to make my homeserver more power efficient ive ordered a 9 watt cpu. another saving id like to do is combine my router and homeserver into one device. i have seen plenty of guides on how to get started with iptables and such, what im really concerned with though is will it be safe and secure, and can i learn to configure rules/ traffic shaping/ qos ect as good as what some
[03:29] <AnthonyUK> of the linux and bsd router distro's have?
[03:29] <darbe> trism: still I have error
[03:30] <CookieGuy> Anyone use BetterPrivacy addon in firefox? How do you specify a correct folder location?
[03:32] <CookieGuy> what is the default ' flash cookie folder' location?
[03:33] <reCAPTCHA> Hey, can someone tell me how to disable my internal wireless card? I have a USB wifi dongle instead...
[03:34] <trism> darbe: you could try adding: set -x after the set -e in /var/lib/dpkg/info/samba-common.postinst so we could see where it is breaking
[03:35] <darbe> trism: it is running
[03:35] <CookieGuy> What is the default IRC client on Ubuntu?
[03:35] <darbe> trism: it run as before, nothing is different
[03:36] <darbe> sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -f install; set -x after the set -e in /var/lib/dpkg/info/samba-common.postinst
[03:36] <EvilResistance> CookieGuy:  i'm not sure there is one, but its been a while since i've actively used stock Ubuntu
[03:36] <darbe> is it right way to use it?
[03:36] <trism> darbe: alright, just comment out the set -e and do the upgrade again
[03:37] <CookieGuy> EvilResistance: Which one (IRC client)  do you suggest?
[03:38] <AnthonyUK> my question has floated way of the top of the screen
[03:38] <darbe> trism: that's waht I used sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -f install; set -x after the set -e
[03:38] <darbe> + set -x after the set -e
[03:38] <EvilResistance> CookieGuy:  i use xchat (universe repository)
[03:38] <darbe> it is added the last line of output + set -x after the set -e
[03:38] <CookieGuy> Does anyone know how to change the default hotkeys? I want to change the workspace movement to just Ctrl+(arrow keys) and no require also holding the alt. Anyone?
[03:39] <trism> darbe: can you pastebin it? I'm not sure what you mean
[03:39] <darbe> ok
[03:39] <kryptoh> i can't get ubuntu to connect to a WEP 128bit network...i have the 26character hex key, it works just fine in windows 7 but no matter what i select in wicd it does not work.

[03:41] <benslab> hi
[03:44] <derp> Hey can someone tell me how to disable my internal wireless card? It is broken and I have a USB wifi dongle instead.
[03:44] <trism> darbe: try: sudo apt-get install --reinstall samba-common;
[03:45] <sacarlson> how can I use this DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer to view/isolate my problem in an automated install using a preseed.cfg ,  I want to debug the preseed.cfg file
[03:45] <curiousx> derp: sudo ifconfig <interface> down
[03:46] <derp> curiousx: What do you mean by <interface>?
[03:46] <darbe> trism: http://paste.ubuntu.com/928916/
[03:46] <l1nr007> Hello, I have a server without gui, is there away to let it ask for my password before doing anything, while it is still working... (like the screen-saver with password in gui) ?
[03:46] <curiousx> oh! its broken
[03:47] <les> l1nr007: if you use a terminal multiplexer like screen you can 'lock' the screen and do that
[03:47] <curiousx> so, turn it off pressing the buton or the combinations of key
[03:48] <l1nr007> les, what is "multiplexer" ? is a tool ?
[03:48] <BlueClaw> Sharkwire says I have no device to perform a live feed of. How can I get it to recognize the network card?
[03:48] <curiousx> derp: iwconfig will tell ya what do i meant
[03:48] <trism> darbe: I get it now, is your gedit working at the moment? if so: gksudo gedit /var/lib/dpkg/info/samba-common.postinst; then remove the set -e line, and try the sudo apt-get -f install; again
[03:49] <l1nr007> les, did you mean multi ttys ?
[03:49] <les> l1nr007: yeah its a tool that lets you have multiple terminals open at once, lets you disconnect from a shell (and reconnect to it later), that sort of thing. GNU screen is one, others are dtach, tmux, etc
[03:49] <l1nr007> les, like the CTRL+ALT+F# ?
[03:50] <derp> curiousx: Okay... cool, I will have to run that every time I boot though... I will have to figure out how to make a bash script that does it automatically every time I boot.
[03:50] <l1nr007> les, I wonder is there a tool to lock a session without logging-out or changing the tty?
[03:50] <darbe> trism: I think i worked
[03:51] <les> linuxuz3r: not really. these would be something that would let you have multiple ttys up on a single tty at once. that's why they're called multiplexers
[03:51] <les> l1nr007: yeah, these can do that
[03:51] <curiousx> derp: you can blacklist the wifi's module
[03:51] <darbe> trism: http://paste.ubuntu.com/928926/
[03:52] <derp> curiousx: Yeah, I am pretty sure that is what I want to do... I just cannot remember how.
[03:52] <tgm4883> I'm trying to create a unity scope, but I'm having trouble with it opening what I believe to be the incorrect application. Is there a way to use the default video player?
[03:53] <tgm4883> Right now I'm using "/usr/bin/gvfs-open URI", but it keeps opening chrome. If I change it to "/usr/bin/totem URI" it still opens fine, but that obvioiusly isn't a solution
[03:53] <trism> darbe: if you try: sudo apt-get purge samba4; does it try to remove alot of packages?
[03:53] <curiousx> derp: lsmod | grep 80211 | pastebinit -a derp -b http://paste.ubuntu.com
[03:54] <darbe> trism: only one
[03:54] <darbe> trism: 11.7MB
[03:54] <trism> darbe: alright then purge samba4 and try the upgrade again, we can reinstall it after if you need it
[03:54] <curiousx> derp: disconnect the usb wifi first
[03:55] <darbe> trism: I installed it to fix samba
[03:55] <darbe> trism: so I don't need it:D:D
[03:55] <trism> darbe: did sudo apt-get purge samba4; work?
[03:55] <derp> curiousx: http://paste.ubuntu.com/928930/ <<< It is the first one.
[03:56] <darbe> trism: yes absolutley
[03:56] <trism> darbe: how about: sudo apt-get upgrade; ?

[03:57] <trism> darbe: hopefully your gedit won't break again on the next upgrade
[03:57] <trism> darbe: yes?
[03:57] <darbe> It was asking me upgrade 12.04
[03:57] <curiousx> wich of those you wanna blacklist?
[03:57] <derp> curiousx: Yeah, the Atheros is the one I want to disable.
[03:57] <curiousx> ok
[03:57] <darbe> trism: it didn't upgrade as I saw system info

[03:58] <trism> darbe: asking you where, in update-manager?

[04:12] <roasted> Question - let's say I have a folder in /media/storage that contains 100 pictures. Let's also say /media/storage (with the 100 pictures) resides on the root/primary drive. Now, what happens to those 100 pictures if I set up /etc/fstab to mount "Drive B" as /media/storage? Where do those pictures go when Drive B is suddenly occupying /media/storage?
[04:16] <wylde> roasted: you'll get an error saying the mount point is not an empty directory or somesuch
[04:16] <roasted> wylde: does the system halt from mounting that device then?

[04:17] <wylde> roasted: yeah it won't mount the drive at all if that mount point has files in it.
[04:17] <roasted> wylde: I see. I wasn't aware of that.
[04:18] <souliaq> Hi, I need a channel for general linux programming questions.
[04:18] <roasted> wylde: what's strange is, I set up Ubuntu on my SSD, and later switched my home directory to mount my 1TB drive.
[04:18] <roasted> wylde: granted, I didn't have any data in my home dir on the SSD, but I still had the default folders.
[04:18] <wylde> roasted: I believe using some or maybe all the FUSE filesystems support mounting a non-empty directory. But, I've never tried.
[04:18] <roasted> wylde: I would think the folders, albeit empty, would still flag it and error out if that was the case.
 which programming langage?
[04:18] <souliaq> C++
[04:19] <mou> ok
[04:19] <wylde> roasted: you could try it, but I suspect it won't mount.
[04:20] <rpbo> I'm trying to move 2TB of data using rsync but nohup isn't working. When my session dies the process stops. nohup rysnc -ar /disk /disk2 what am I missing?
[04:22] <arooni-mobile> hi folks;  running ubuntu 11.10 64 bit host... windows xp guest.  trying to get windows xp to use the socks proxy i have set up on port 1080 (on host machine).  i can access sites via the proxy fine on firefox on host but not guest... i've tried using localhost and <IP_ADDRESS> both... ideas?
[04:24] <zykotick9> CAZ_au: the release time is typically not known prior to release
[04:27] <wylde> arooni-mobile: your guest OS will have a different ip than the host. Use the host ip not localhost or <IP_ADDRESS> in the guest OS.

[04:35] <jamjam> how do I prioritize chromium process from limits.conf? is this correct?   chromium-browser hard priority -10
[04:35] <l1nr007> les, I've tried screen and tmux.. but they gave me more than I needed.. so I liked the "vlock" tool it does exactly what I need ^^.. thanks :)
[04:35] <jamjam> I'm not yet familiar with limits.conf ^^
[04:37] <zykotick9> jamjam: what are you hoping to acheive?  scheduling is a pretty complicated matter, the linux kernel programs seem to know a lot about it...
[04:37] <cg> hello
[04:38] <jamjam> I would like to prioritize chromium browser over other process, thnks btw.
[04:38] <jamjam> using limits.conf
[04:40] <zykotick9> jamjam: i've played with nice and renice but never used limits.conf before...  good luck (i kinda doubt this is gonna work out like you want)
[04:40] <jamjam> I want to learn about limits.conf and would like to start as prioritizing chromium browser but I don't want to mess my machine..
[04:40] <motherbrain> curious is there any linux based program I can download to copy all physical memory and dump it to a file.
[04:41] <motherbrain> I want to copy my 4GB of memory
[04:41] <jamjam> @zykotick9 maybe I'll stick with nice renice atm, thanks!
[04:42] <sacarlson> how can I isolate what might be missing in my local http mirror site from a automated preseed.cfg install.  it seems to work from non local mirror but I don't know how to debug what's missing
[04:43] <CAZ_au> zykotick9: Thanks :)
[04:43] <sacarlson> or how do you setup a minimal http mirror site, not like more than 1 gb
[04:44] <meet> how to remove lubuntu and install ubuntu?
[04:44] <sacarlson> motherbrain: I guess that is sort of what hybernate does,  not sure what format it is but I think it's stored in the swap partition
[04:45] <zykotick9> !puregnome | meet hope this still applies for unity but there is not !pureunity
[04:47] <motherbrain> sacarlson do you have a link to hybernate or some where I can download it / documentation ,..etc ?
[04:47] <sacarlson> motherbrain: it's installed at default see in power down options
[04:48] <Guest73165> Hello
[04:48] <sacarlson> motherbrain: I don't know about the documentation that you will have to google yourself
[04:48] <motherbrain> so what do I do it use it to read my 4GB?
[04:48] <ficarra> Ok, so a week ago, I installed ubuntu via wubi
[04:48] <ficarra> Left it with family for a week, return to this: http://images.4chan.org/g/src/1334377369827.jpg
[04:49] <ficarra> Anyone know what's up with it?
[04:50] <zykotick9> ficarra: "f you kernel power" did you expect that to help?
[04:50] <ficarra> Yes
[04:50] <ficarra> I also pounded my fists into the keyboard
[04:50] <ficarra> Still didn't work
[04:51] <shlorky> hey, i've got a xubuntu install issue, and i was curious if it's an actual issue or if i'm going mental
[04:51] <shlorky> nvm!
[04:51] <sacarlson> ficarra: you might try the command help
[04:51] <sacarlson> ficarra: but my guess is something is missing so you will want to boot a live cd and analize the damages
[04:51] <ficarra> Well
[04:52] <meet> zykotick9 how do i remove the lubuntu os and keep only winxp
[04:52] <ficarra> sacarlson I don't have a cd drive, and my computer is too old to boot from usb
[04:53] <zykotick9> if anyone knows (or wants to help) fix grub on a wubi install - ficarra could use your help.
[04:53] <sacarlson> meet: just reformat the ubuntu partition from windows, make sure you set grub to default to windows or us the windows rescue disk to replace grub
[04:53] <sacarlson> ficarra: there is a program called plop that can enable old computer to boot from usb
[04:54] <sacarlson> ficarra: plop will also enable booting from pxe (lan boot)
[04:54] <ficarra> sacarlson Thanks, I'll look it up.
[04:55] <tallboy_2> Hi.  I've got an issue where when I plug my android into the computer Ubuntu 11.04 doesn't recognize it as a drive. USB Mass Storage is on on the phone.  Is there a way to get Natty to recognize the phone?  Or even mount manually?  Thanks in advance, you guys are always such great help.
[04:55] <zykotick9> sacarlson: i'm curious, do you have the foggiest idea how to mount the wubi install from a livecd?  cause I sure wouldn't.
[04:56] <sacarlson> zykotick9: no I wouldn't bother , wubi to me is just a trail install not the real thing
[04:56] <zykotick9> tallboy_2: does dmesg register anything (says if the kernel sees something)
[04:57] <zykotick9> sacarlson: ficarra is using wubi
[04:57] <sacarlson> ficarra: oh I didn't catch that part,  then ignore some of my last statements
[04:58] <A1ek> anyone here familiar with john the ripper
[04:58] <sacarlson> ficarra: but plop can run in windows so you can install a real ubuntu from there
[04:58] <meet> thanks sacarlson
[04:59] <tallboy_2> zykotick9:  uhh is there any way to narrow down what I'm look for with "dmesg"?  What am I looking for?
[05:00] <zykotick9> tallboy_2: unplug the device, wait - type "dmesg" -- plug device in, wait -- type "dmesg" (is there any change?)
[05:00] <tallboy_2> K.. I'll try that.
[05:01] <zykotick9> tallboy_2: something like "dmesg | tail -n 15" might help also
[05:04] <Ronald_Reagan> So I am trying to figure out what flavor of linux a VPS has, so I tried this: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=mRZJkrb0 I'm pretty sure it is ubuntu, but why does RedHat pop up for the first command? I found these two commands on a thread about redhat
[05:05] <zykotick9> Ronald_Reagan: "lsb_release -a"
[05:05] <Ronald_Reagan> :D Thanks. I am curious, why does redhat pop up?
[05:06] <tallboy_2> zykotick9:  Yes, the last command was easier to notice if kernel noticed the phone, and it does when I plug it in.
[05:06] <zykotick9> tallboy_2: does it get an sdX assigned to it?
[05:07] <zykotick9> tallboy_2: that would have been mentioned in teh dmesg output
[05:07] <tallboy_2> zykotick9:  This is the line it shows  [ 2541.788043] usb 1-6: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 7
[05:07] <zykotick9> tallboy_2: after that anything?
[05:08] <tallboy_2> zykotick9:  That is what it shows after I use the second command.  dmesg | tail -n 15
[05:09] <tallboy_2> zykotick9:  I use my phone sometimes to tether my internet connection using "easytether" and it works.  It just won't recognize it as a drive
[05:10] <zykotick9> tallboy_2: it doesn't seem the kernel sees it as a "drive" :(  what ubuntu version are you using again?
[05:10] <tallboy_2> 11.04
[05:12] <zykotick9> tallboy_2: sorry, i'm sorta outta "real" suggestions...  good luck
[05:12] <tallboy_2> zykotick9:  Hey, thanks for the help.  Any other place you could direct me for help?
[05:18] <sacarlson> anyone have a working example of a automated install preseed.cfg file?  seems the ubuntu 10.04 docs example are broken

[05:23] <sacarlson> zykotick9: I've been tring like about 7 different preseed.cfg files or more and all are having there own problems,  I just want one that someone has aready tested that works that I can start from
[05:23] <zykotick9> sacarlson: good luck with that. preseed isn't exactly ubuntu-common ;)
[05:24] <sacarlson> zykotick9: well someone must have got it working at some point.  I've already given up on kickstart
[05:25] <zykotick9> sacarlson: you'd thinks so.  good luck man.

[06:14] <harold> hey, I've noticed that when running ubuntu... vs., win7, my laptop gets much hotter much faster
[06:14] <harold> anyone else have similar experiences?
[06:15] <chocimir> harold: check your nvidia drivers
[06:15] <harold> chocimir: I use the 'default proprietary' ones
[06:15] <scar3crow> harold: you may want to set your cpu fan to stay powered on

[06:22] <chocimir> scaar3crow: I have no such option in my manger-update
[06:22] <chocimir> scar3crow: I have no such option in my manger-update
[06:22] <scar3crow> chocimir: one sec
[06:25] <mac_> Hey, I have a question
[06:25] <mac_> Anyone online??
[06:25] <scar3crow> chocimir: http://www.unixmen.com/how-to-upgrade-from-ubuntu-1004-1010-1104-to-ubuntu-1110-oneiric-ocelot-desktop-a-server/
[06:26] <mac_> My bluetoot won't recognize or connect to anything
[06:26] <mac_> Any ideas?
[06:27] <leeap> hey, this page: https://github.com/zolrath/wemux/wiki/Status-Line
[06:28] <leeap> mentions about using some specific font for the term. How can I change my fonts on gnome-term?
[06:29] <harold> chocimir: btw, just out of curioisity, what made you think it were my nvidia drivers?
[06:29] <harold> you suggested that pretty quickly, - do you yourself have have similar issues?
[06:29] <mint_> 23 is the most mystical number of all. 2/3 = .666 which is the number of Satan. The date of Titanics sinking adds up to 23. Qwerty keyboards are in use instead of dvorak keyboards because they give w a perfect spot next to 2 and 3. Research has proven that dvorak keyboards are less muscle intensive. W is the 23rd letter of the alphabet. Is 23 the enigma? Become an enigmatist today.
[06:30] <harold> well I'm sold
[06:31] <scar3crow> leeap: tweak your default gnome-terminal settings
[06:32] <leeap> scar3crow: yep, thatś what I want to do, the question is how would I do that?
[06:32] <leeap> what conf file, for example, would I have to edit?
[06:34] <scar3crow> leeap: open terminal -->Edit-->Profiles
[06:34] <Psi-Jack> Hmmm
[06:34] <Psi-Jack> So, fun stuff..
[06:34] <leo_> Hi,all. what tools can i use to test memory performance under ubuntu 11.10 ?
[06:35] <Psi-Jack> I have dd'd all my LVM volumes housing my /boot and / filesystems, resize2fs'd them to fit the miniscule growth difference, from a platter HDD to an SSD drive, and I'm trying to get grub to use the new stuff for the bootup, but so far, it's not.
[06:39] <chocimir> what adobe flash player + OS are u using? is everything ok with it?
[06:41] <chocimir> harold: yes I had smth like that, I removed compiz then.
[06:45] <chocimir> how to upgrade to 04.12, this option used to be in update-manager. But I checked inform about new upgardes everytime and nothing has happend
[06:45] <root1> how to configuree conky
[06:46] <Psi-Jack> chocimir: 12.04 you mean?
[06:46] <chocimir> Psi-Jack: sure.
[06:46] <Psi-Jack> chocimir: 12.04 isn't out yet.
[06:46] <root1> it will b out on 26 april
[06:46] <Psi-Jack> chocimir: I believe they have #ubuntu+1 for that, until it's official release, which is later this month.
[06:47] <tian> hay
[06:47] <harold> chocimir: sorry, noob question - what is compiz? Is it the window manager itself? Iḿ intrigued in hearing you say that you completely removed it... what functionality exactly was lost when you removed it?
[06:48] <Psi-Jack> Interesting.
[06:48] <Psi-Jack> So, update-grub2 seems to find Windows on /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2, but not /dev/sdc1 (the SSD drive).
[06:48] <chocimir> Psi-Jack: ok, thnx someone told me that it is available already. I have some issue with flash player, I think upgrade can help.
[06:48] <bazhang> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=867076 root1
[06:49] <Psi-Jack> And, well, yes.. Windows is on /dev/sda2, /dev/sda1 is actually the system-reserved partition itself.
[06:49] <chocimir> harold: It was few years ago. It is some add-on windows manager it gives you some "nice" affect, like rotating in 3D when you change desktop etc. I dont need it anymore.
[06:51] <harold>  chocimir: does ubuntu come by default with that on? I don't care normally for such eye candy, so I'd definitely like to get rid of it
[06:52] <chocimir> harold: rather it is not default.
[06:52] <chocimir> chocimir: pretty sure it isnt.
[06:52] <root1> kk installed conky so ...now howto improve it's look
[06:52] <les> harold: Ubuntu uses compiz for compositing using Unity but all the gaudy stuff isn't on. It's tasteful these days
[06:52] <Psi-Jack> chocimir: It's beta currently.
[06:52] <scar3crow> harold: there is always good ol' gnome claSSIC
[06:52] <les> gaudy stuff is available for those who want it
[06:53] <chocimir> harold: I even dont have unity. I am using gnome-classic.
[06:53] <Psi-Jack> chocimir: And yes, #ubuntu+1 is the channel for new coming releases.
[06:54] <harold> btw, with what command can I find out the temperatures on term? itś running hot, I'd like to know exactly how hot :)
[06:54] <Psi-Jack> harold: If you setup sensors, sensors.
[06:54] <les> harold: 'sensors' but you'll need lm-sensors installed
[06:55] <JensenDan>  /j #ltsp
[06:55] <JensenDan> ffs
[06:55] <JensenDan> sry :(
[06:55] <Psi-Jack> There's a way to probe ACPI for it too, but I don't know how Linux does that, at this time.
[06:55] <chocimir> Psi-Jack: have you had some problems with flash since last update adobe-flashplayer?
[06:55] <Psi-Jack> chocimir: #ubuntu+1 is your channel for beta releases.
[06:56] <Psi-Jack> Please see yourself there for support for future releases.
[06:56] <ishan> ishan
[06:57] <chocimir> Psi-Jack: I mean update adobe flash to 11.202. not ubuntu upgrade. I have oneric now.
[06:57] <Psi-Jack> chocimir: No such version of Ubuntu, 11.202
[06:58] <chocimir> it is version of adobe flash player
[06:58] <harold> just to be clear, https://pastee.org/98hgt
[06:58] <harold> thatś pretty hot, right? Like, hot enough to be seriously concerned
[06:58] <Psi-Jack> chocimir: Please paste output of 'lsb_release -r' to channel.
[06:59] <chocimir> Release:	11.10
[06:59] <Psi-Jack> Alrighty, So why aren't you installing the adobe flash package itself?
[07:00] <chocimir> I have done it using apt-get
[07:00] <les> harold: that does't look too bad.  if you're concerned see if something is eating cpu cycles
[07:01] <harold> les: I should also mention that i just only a few hours ago installed ubuntu, this is a pretty fresh install still (have only installed google chrome and irssi)
[07:05] <DropsOfSerenity> what do you guys think about the alt-tab interface being able to be navigated by mouse as well as keyboard, would that be possible, is there interest in that feature?
[07:07] <seroki> alt-tab w/ mouse scroll would be neat
[07:07] <chocimir> Psi-Jack: do u have ff? if so, which version of adobe flash player do u have?
[07:08] <Psi-Jack> chocimir: I have what comes with Ubuntu 11.10.
[07:08] <Psi-Jack> And I rarely ever use Firefox anymore. I use Google Chrome.

[07:14] <bazhang> !ubuntu | melengo
[07:14] <bazhang> redixot, from the PPA?
[07:15] <melengo> Like Windos or OSX
[07:15] <bazhang> melengo, did you read the link?
[07:15] <melengo> yes i was open thet site. and good OS it is free
[07:16] <bazhang> !find mate
[07:17] <melengo> tengs be fore i wan to download it. and i want to test it.....??
[07:17] <redixot> bazhang: just tried latest ubunut, i loath gnome3 i looked up online and found out about mate (gnome2-fork) is it worth installing? is it good? sorry for stupid questions im new here
[07:18] <bazhang> melengo, use a live cd or a live usb, instructions at that link
[07:19] <Myrtti> redixot: mate isn't officially supported in Ubuntu, you might find XFCE and Xubuntu (Ubuntu with XFCE instead of Gnome3) interesting.
[07:19] <bazhang> melengo, thats some 3rd party item; /msg ubottu notunity if you wish more of a gnome2 look and feel, somewhat similar to classic
[07:20] <bazhang> whoops redixot ^
[07:20] <melengo> bazhang : oke tengs for your help my
[07:21] <free123> hello
[07:22] <free123> i have a problem when I compile the kernel
[07:22] <free123> it said ERROR: "__modver_version_show" [drivers/staging/rts5139/rts5139.ko] undefined!

[07:23] <free123> need to compile the kernel?
[07:23] <bazhang> free123, some wifi driver? which chipset
[07:23] <redixot> Myrtti and bazhang: thanks, in fact xfce is what im considering to use. i think gnome3 was a huge mistake... i mean serisouly ur desktop looks like an ubuntu version for kids
[07:23] <free123> no, I don t use it that
[07:23] <bazhang> free123, whats the need
[07:24] <free123> to solve the power regresion
[07:24] <Myrtti> redixot: I'm happy with Gnome3+Unity, in fact I moved to it from Xubuntu. But it isn't for everyone and so I just recommend Xubuntu to people. Have fun and keep on trying :-)

[07:29] <Fractal_> free123 ok, but I had tried this too
[07:29] <nams> Hello ! i have a very basic question here. We are setting up a cloud. Regarding the booting of ubuntu server image for the setup of a node controller. How do we select the option of node controller here?

[07:33] <free123> messenger?
[07:33] <DropsOfSerenity> what do you guys think about the alt-tab interface being able to be navigated by mouse as well as keyboard, would that be possible, is there interest in that feature?
[07:34] <Fractal_> free123, gime a sencond to configure it
[07:34] <free123> DropsOfSerenity : check compiz pluge-ins
[07:34] <free123> Fractal_ : ok
[07:34] <iceroot> DropsOfSerenity: using the mouse on the alt-tab-window is called "task bar"
[07:35] <DropsOfSerenity> iceroot, no like how it is on mac osx
[07:35] <iceroot> DropsOfSerenity: luckily i never saw osx, so i dont know how it is handled there
[07:35] <DropsOfSerenity> free123, are you saying this exists?
[07:36] <Fractal_> free123: ya lo tengo
[07:36] <free123> Fractal_  I think is possible
[07:36] <DropsOfSerenity> iceroot, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHY2PEcOh20 this is really nice too, but also you can move your mouse around as well, if you prefer which is nice.
[07:37] <free123> Fractal_ : pedon me equivoque xD pasamelo
[07:37] <iceroot> DropsOfSerenity: thx
[07:37] <Fractal_> free123<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[07:37] <free123> DropsOfSerenity  : I think with compiz plugins you can
[07:37] <DropsOfSerenity> free123, do you know where i can start searching?
[07:38] <free123> install ccsm
[07:38] <DropsOfSerenity> free123, have already.
[07:38] <free123> in window administrator or somecing like that
[07:39] <DropsOfSerenity> free123, the switcher plugin for unity doesn't have many options on the switcher.
[07:40] <free123> DropsOfSerenity : i mean choose a diferent pluge in, compiz have some to change alt+tab
[07:41] <DropsOfSerenity> free123, oh I don't really want to break the unity experience.
[07:41] <DropsOfSerenity> was just asking if that may be a feature for the future.
[07:42] <free123> I think it will not conflict with unity, but i have not tested with it. I only tested with gnome 2
[07:45] <The_BROS> I cannot connect Facebook account through the Pidgin. I do correctly all things. Can anybody help me?
[07:46] <bazhang> The_BROS, with the correct plugin?
[07:47] <bazhang>  pidgin-facebookchat    <---- The_BROS
 I choose Facebook XIMPP
[07:48] <bazhang> The_BROS, theres that plugin, you can ask in #pidgin as well

[07:49] <bazhang> The_BROS, I dont use facebook or pidgin, sorry
[07:56] <Shape> Can anyone please recommend me a Live CD that can fix the MBR after deleting Linux/Ubuntu partitions so that you can boot Windows XP alone?
[07:56] <TommyC> I think any LiveCD can do that.
[07:56] <TommyC> You just need to be able to chroot.
[07:57] <Arnold> There's a workaround possible via syslinux, for example.
[07:57] <Shape> TommyC: Can you please give me a link or some documentation on how to do the procedure?
[07:57] <TommyC> Google has many resources on chrooting. I recommend SysRescueCD (sysresccd.org).
[07:58] <Shape> TommyC: Thanks!
[07:59] <Arnold> TommyC, isn't chrooting meant only if you want to restore a MBR from an already installed Linux system?
[07:59] <TommyC> Oh damn, I think you're right.
[07:59] <Arnold> Shape, if restoring the Windows MBR is what you really want to do, then you can practically boot up Ubuntu 11.10 live CD or USB, either is fine.
[08:00] <Arnold> And then this command "sudo dd if=/usr/lib/syslinux/mbr.bin of=/dev/sda" should restore it back.
[08:00] <Arnold> Considering that the hard drive your Windows is in the first hard disk in the first place (/dev/sda)
[08:01] <Shape> Arnold: I am actually in the Ubuntu 10 Live CD right now. And yes the first sda is the windows
[08:01] <Arnold> Shape, then you just have to issue the command I gave you earlier.
[08:02] <Arnold> So I take it Windows is in /dev/sda1 partition, and inside the /dev/sda disk, right?
[08:02] <Shape> Arnold: Correct and I just issued the command. Done!. It said 0+1 records in. 0+1 records out 404 bytes copied.
[08:02] <Shape> Arnold: I'm going to reboot now and see if it worked.
[08:02] <Arnold> Shape, I see. That sounds about right. I think it's actually 440 bytes :P
[08:03] <Shape> Nope. 404. I have it in front of me right now.
[08:03] <Arnold> But yes, if /dev/sda1 is set to active and all, it should work.
[08:03] <Arnold> Shape, just be that you have the Windows partition set to active first.
[08:04] <Arnold> ie. bootable
[08:04] <Shape> Arnold: It is. Rebooting now. (my laptop is very slow)
[08:05] <Shape> Arnold: Also, I just wanted to add that the reason I'm doing this is to learn how it works. I'm not planning to uninstall Ubuntu completely. I am just experimenting so I can learn more.
[08:05] <Shape> Arnold: WORKED!! Oh my god, thanks so much!
[08:06] <Arnold> Shape, hehe, you're welcome. Guess sometimes its eagerness that gets you more knowledge about the system.

[08:55] <greenit> savr, if there is a xorg.conf it should be in /etx/X11/

[09:04] <ServerCrash> hi, does anyone knows how to configure ALSA to play 5.1ch sound via HDMI (NVIDIA)
[09:04] <tobago> i created a new project and added to git control. now i want to push it to github. but following the tutorial there i always receive: "Agent admitted failure to sign using the key.", when i want to push it.
[09:04] <savr> goddard, anything I can find about AVN is pre-unity
[09:04] <tobago> it wants to add the key to known_keys but it fails.
[09:04] <jrbjr> ok thanks
[09:04] <tobago> "Permission denied (publickey)."
 Ubuntu has TONS of tutorials and helpful people
[09:04] <tobago> that's why: "fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly"
[09:04] <tobago> i created a new key by: "ssh-keygen -t rsa -C<EMAIL_ADDRESS>as github advised
[09:04] <goddard> savr: i install it fine try apt-cache search
[09:04] <Ben64> ServerCrash: have you looked here ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/gpu-hdmi-audio-document/gpu-hdmi-audio.html
[09:04] <sirknight> jrbjr,  did that help?
[09:05] <savr> goddard, I want to know wtf it is
[09:05] <savr> sounds like a mac dock clone
[09:05] <savr> which is what I'd hate
[09:05] <goddard> savr: it is
[09:05] <savr> unity is perfect in this aspect
[09:05] <goddard> savr: i guess
[09:05] <savr> I switched from osx to unity
[09:05] <goddard> savr: one thing i cant stand about it though is the dock doesn't minimize apps when you click the icon
[09:06] <bazhang> savr, lets get back on topic please
[09:06] <savr> goddard, ummm? that is what makes it sooo perfect. I use multiple workspaces
[09:07] <jrbjr> i want to be able to install by .deb or .rpm is that available in ubuntu
[09:07] <goddard> jrbjr: .deb is
[09:07] <goddard> jrbjr: you can install rpm but not out of the box
[09:08] <goddard> jrbjr: .deb is from debian which is what ubuntu is based off of
[09:09] <jrbjr> not out of the box???
[09:09] <OerHeks> jrbjr, have fun installing .rpm with alien, it is not supported.
[09:09] <ServerCrash> Ben64, thanks i saw that, and point no 10.5
[09:09] <goddard> jrbjr: default install
[09:09] <goddard> jrbjr: .rpm is usually reserved for Red Hat or Fedora based systems

[09:15] <jrbjr> ultimat edition linux allows you to logon in gnome or unity, kde etc.
[09:15] <goddard> jrbjr: so does ubuntu
[09:15] <goddard> jrbjr: its the little gear at the login screen

[09:24] <dalek_> goddard, yes
[09:25] <bouma> how would i setup ubuntu to know about the atypical features of this keyboard ?? its a logitech G110
[09:27] <MonkeyDust> dalek_  there are some interlacing options, in Preferences - Display
[09:28] <dalek_> HELP!!! how do I get totem movieplayer working again. An update today must have killed it... I can't play ANY video files in it. Playback is choppy - 1 frame every 2 seconds. When the totem app first starts, the entire window fills up with garbage - looks like video field lines(it is a garbled copy of the desktop), then it clears and is followed by choppy playback.. any ideas?
[09:29] <Shape> I could access my external drives without mountin. Does ubuntu mount drives by default? If so, how do you set the default for the drives to be unmounted?
[09:30] <killer> how to view processes in terminal
[09:30] <bekks> All drives are unmounted upon shutdown/reboot. You cant set "defaults" whatsoever for unmount, all you can do is set defaults for mounting.
[09:30] <bekks> killer: "ps aux".
[09:30] <dalek_> MonkeyDust, if I go to totem's preferences, the preference window locks up and cannot be closed. Now I can't get rid of it.
[09:32] <killer> thanx bekks
[09:32] <MonkeyDust> dalek_  try deleting some hidden totem config file
[09:32] <Debro> hello, i would like to now how clear custom created wifi network from list..?

[09:37] <MonkeyDust> dalek_  yeah, rather radical, but delete the complete totem folder .config
[09:38] <MonkeyDust> dalek_  yeah, rather radical, but delete the complete totem folder in .config
[09:38] <dalek_> MonkeyDust, ok
[09:39] <dalek_> MonkeyDust, it's gone
[09:39] <MonkeyDust> dalek_  now restart totem
[09:39] <Debro> MonkeyDust, can I ask you some questions..
[09:39] <dalek_> MonkeyDust, didn't help. totem still can't play video
[09:40] <Ben64> dalek_: try running gstreamer-properties and changing the output plugin and testing performance for each of the options
[09:40] <dalek_> Ben64, ok
[09:42] <sirknight> anyone know how to network boot? "pxe", "mtftp"
[09:43] <The_BROS> What is better for multyprotocol massaging Pidgin or Empathy?
[09:43] <bekks> ! better > The_BROS
[09:44] <bekks> sirknight: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PXEInstallServer
[09:44] <sirknight> bekks thanks again
[09:44] <dalek_> Ben64, I have no idea what I am doing. But anyway, I tried all video output plugins and they all seemed to play a pretty normal looking test pattern with static box in corner. The option "device:" immediately under "plugin:" says "Unsupported"

[09:45] <Ben64> dalek_: i meant test it with totem
[09:45] <dalek_> Ben64, ok...
[09:46] <sirknight> bekks Not starting internet superserver: no services enabled.  what this mean?
[09:47] <dalek_> Ben64, um... how do I test gstreamer-properties usign totem?
[09:47] <dalek_> using*
[09:47] <Ben64> dalek_: change the video plugin with gstreamer-properties, close it, open totem and try playing something
[09:48] <Tiron> are there any drivers for Intel Grapghics?
[09:48] <Tiron> graphics?
[09:48] <dalek_> Ben64, ah.. I got you now.
[09:48] <Tiron> on board video drivers
[09:48] <Ben64> Tiron: yes
[09:48] <Tiron> where can I find those?
[09:48] <Ben64> should be included with ubuntu
[09:48] <Tiron> well I see that it is running on the standard driver
[09:49] <orated> Hi! Is it possible to have a text chat over when two ubuntu systems are connected in the same network?
[09:49] <Tiron> so I have not all the VideoCard possibilites
[09:49] <Tiron> Compiz Is not working
[09:49] <Ben64> Tiron: what version ubuntu
[09:49] <Tiron> 12.04
[09:49] <Tiron> beta
[09:50] <Ben64> 12.04 support is in #ubuntu+1
[09:50] <Tiron> ok
[09:50] <sirknight> edit the /etc/default/tftpd-hpa  how do i get in to this config file?
[09:50] <dalek_> Ben64, no luck... video playback is still fecked with all available output plugins.
[09:51] <Ben64> dalek_: then i suggest using a different player
[09:54] <dalek_> Ben64, until another player comes out which supports my remote, that is not an option. VLC disables multimedia keys (which is what my remote uses) totem doesn't.
[09:54] <bekks> sirknight: it means you have to configure the services to be started.
[09:55] <Ben64> dalek_: mplayer?
[09:55] <stopostit21> hi!
[09:55] <sirknight> bekks,  well how do i open it in terminal?
[09:55] <bekks> sirknight: Open what? We dont even know which command causes that message.
[09:57] <sirknight> bekks,  this oneedit the /etc/default/tftpd-hpa
[09:58] <dalek_> Ben64, mplayer doesn't even show up as an option in 11.10
[09:59] <Ben64> dalek_: not sure what to tell you, i use mplayer on 10.04 and 12.04 with no problems
[09:59] <bekks> sirknight: sudo nano /etc/default/tftpd-hpa
[10:00] <dalek_> Ben64, another thing for last few weeks, EVERY time I install ANYTHING with apt-get install, I get the message "duplicate sources.list entry.... ... run apt-get update to correct", which I do, and it goes away until next time I install anything.
[10:01] <bekks> dalek_: Then remove that duplicate entry in you sources.list file(s)
[10:01] <dalek_> bekks, where is my sources.list physically located?
[10:01] <MonkeyDust> dalek_  dalek_ go to /etc/apt/sources.list
[10:02] <PUPILLO> SALVE
[10:02] <PUPILLO> !LIST
[10:04] <dalek_> bekks, MonkeyDust - I can't find any duplicate entries in sources.list... yet the error WILL come back if I try to install anything.
[10:05] <sirknight> bekks,  http://pastebin.com/bmajCj3N
[10:05] <bekks> sirknight: And...?
[10:06] <dalek_> whhy does mplayer not show up anywhere after being installed?
[10:06] <MonkeyDust> dalek_  it may be a conflictin 32bit / 64bit issue
[10:06] <sirknight> bekks,  thats what i get, i dont know what that means?
[10:06] <bekks> sirknight: That is the content of that file.
[10:07] <MonkeyDust> dalek_  it seems you have quite ruined your system, what have you done before thing started going wrong?
[10:07] <bekks> sirknight: In https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PXEInstallServer it is described what the content should be - additional content should not be deleted.
[10:07] <dalek_> MonkeyDust, confliction how? I am running 32bit... totem worked perfect last night. I didn't do anything but run the usual system updater which pops up automagically each day
[10:08] <dalek_> MonkeyDust, it started going wrong about an hour ago when I went to try playing a video.
[10:08] <MonkeyDust> dalek_  yes, but now the sources, too
[10:09] <dalek_> MonkeyDust, well that problem hasn't been a problem for me, because it goes away if I run apt-get update, so I wasn't bothered.. I don't know when that started.
[10:10] <sirknight> bekks,  what do i do? add them? if so where to it the lines in terminal?
[10:11] <Sabari> hi

[10:21] <bazhang> dalek_, what about mplayer
[10:21] <MonkeyDust> dalek_  try the windows trick: reboot
[10:22] <vexaxv> bazhang, k i did
[10:22] <bazhang> MonkeyDust, how is a reboot going to fix that
[10:22] <dalek_> bazhang, I tried sudo apt-get install mplayer but I can't find anyway to start it. there is no icon under applications
[10:23] <vexaxv> bazhang, check colored text in input?
[10:23] <bazhang> dalek_, what about alt f2 mplayer to launch it
[10:23] <Ben64> dalek_: type "mplayer"
[10:24] <vexaxv> bazhang, ??
[10:24] <dalek_> if I type mplayer, i get the mplayer help
[10:24] <bazhang> vexaxv, did not understand your question
[10:24] <Ben64> dalek_: you need to give it a file to play or it won't play anything
[10:24] <bazhang> dalek_, in the alt f2 window?
[10:24] <vexaxv> bazhang, i got the name thing now how do i change it to red
[10:25] <bazhang> vexaxv, its red here you used my nick
[10:25] <Ben64> vexaxv: it only shows up as red for the person you mention
[10:25] <vexaxv> Ben64, ah k
[10:26] <dalek_> bazhang, ok.. mplayer plays video
[10:26] <vexaxv> thanks guys
[10:26] <bazhang> dalek_, why not use mplayer then
[10:27] <anatoliy> 1
[10:27] <dalek_> bazhang, I will have to now, but it is a pain to have to launch videos from the command line
[10:27] <Ben64> dalek_: how else would you open a video
[10:28] <bazhang> Ben64, from the applications menu
[10:28] <dalek_> Ben64, obviously from the desktop environment... like double clicking the video file itself or right-clicking it....
[10:28] <dalek_> or apps menu
[10:29] <Ben64> you can set it to open mplayer on a double click
[10:29] <dalek_> Do I need to install something else to get mplayer to show up as an app? Do I need to install gnome-mplayer?

[10:53] <AndyUbuntu> morning everyone
[10:54] <savr> why the hell does osx still exist
[10:54] <savr> unity has alt
[10:54] <AndyUbuntu> does anyone know an good application to convert vob files to avi?
[10:54] <bastidrazor> AndyUbuntu: devede
[10:54] <AndyUbuntu> Just want to add some videos to my phone
[10:54] <bazhang> AndyUbuntu, you mean m4v or mp4 presumably
[10:54] <savr> should be a little more obvious that alt exists
[10:54] <liang> Oh, I know, thank you
[10:54] <bazhang> savr, #ubuntu-offtopic as I said before
[10:54] <AndyUbuntu> yeah thats right
[10:55] <bazhang> AndyUbuntu, handbrake
[10:55] <savr> bazhang, unity isn't on topic?
[10:55] <bazhang> savr, commenting on its greatness/awfulness NO
[10:55] <AndyUbuntu> bazhang and bastidrazor, thanks. Im just downloading handbrake now
[10:55] <savr> :(
[10:56] <AndyUbuntu> I thought that ws just for copying dvds, thats great :)
[10:57] <bastidrazor> AndyUbuntu: i use devede a lot. it does well for conversions
[10:57] <bazhang> from avi yeah
[10:57] <AndyUbuntu> bastidrazor, ok thanks. will try that out as well
[10:57] <bazhang> but for iDevices and the like handbrake is pretty much the way to go
[10:57] <AndyUbuntu> can you select the compression ratio?
[10:57] <bazhang> sure
[10:58] <AndyUbuntu> brilliant, thanks
[10:58] <bazhang> AndyUbuntu, devede is to make avi into a playable on your commercial dvd player
[10:58] <AndyUbuntu> oh ok, that sounds very useful then
[10:59] <AndyUbuntu> i usually play everything straight from my laptop
[11:01] <donal> am i connected?

[11:12] <cristian_c> Hi
[11:13] <cristian_c> I would like to set the file /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf correctly
[11:13] <cristian_c> to configure the touchpad gestures
[11:13] <cristian_c> I would like to set the pinch, the drag, the circular scrolling and tap with two fingers or more
[11:13] <cristian_c> any suggestions?
[11:13] <cristian_c> I can also post the current contents of synaptics.conf
[11:14] <Star_Light> hello. Is there any channel for TCP/IP networking?
[11:14] <Zx432> My flash and HTML5 movies are lagging like crazy. Any suggestions? Could it be Nvidia drivers problem?
[11:15] <bazhang> !alis | Star_Light
[11:15] <antimon> when i open a new terminal my working directory is ~/Documents; i want it to be ~ how can i change that?
[11:16] <jrib> !synaptics | cristian_c
[11:17] <jrib> cristian_c: also see the man page for synaptics and I believe you want to place a copy of the file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d and edit that instead of editing that file directly
[11:17] <dreckboun> hai
[11:18] <cristian_c> jrib, I'm just reading that wiki page
[11:20] <cristian_c> jrib, sudo: trackpad: command not found
[11:20] <alocer> hi everybody
[11:20] <jrib> cristian_c: read the description for those commands
[11:22] <jrib> cristian_c: here's another page in case you'd like to use xinput: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Input
[11:22] <cristian_c> jrib, there isn't the trackpad man
[11:23] <jrib> cristian_c: because that command is not for synaptics
[11:24] <cristian_c> jrib, sorry, you are right :)
[11:24] <rfictus> Good Day!
[11:25] <rfictus> someone know which files are responsible to adjust screen backlight ??
[11:25] <jrib> antimon: I think that's an option in gnome-terminal settings
[11:26] <alocer> anybody knows how run windows virtually ? ?
[11:27] <StevenR_> alocer: install KVM, virt-manager and build your own VM ?
[11:28] <MonkeyDust> not all hardware supports KVM
[11:29] <MonkeyDust> alocer  i have win xp in vbox, runs smoothly, ok
[11:29] <alocer> MonkeyDust: have u tested win7 ?
[11:29] <MonkeyDust> alocer  no, i have that in dual boot
[11:30] <alocer> MonkeyDust : win xp works fine yes i have that too :((
[11:30] <cristian_c> jrib, I've read this manual: http://www.x.org/archive/X11R7.5/doc/man/man4/synaptics.4.html but I can't find good examples :(
[11:31] <jrib> cristian_c: use xinput to play with the values for the settings you are interested in and find values you like
[11:31] <cristian_c> jrib, I've always used xinput list :)
[11:32] <cristian_c> jrib, now I've seen https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Input
[11:33] <cristian_c> but it describes how set buttons
[11:33] <alocer> cristian_c : can i know what is the prb  ?
[11:33] <jrib> cristian_c: well you can use it to set any of the settings I believe
[11:33] <cristian_c> Should I use list-props?
[11:34] <cristian_c> and then set-props
[11:34] <cristian_c> for the multitouch
[11:34] <cristian_c> alocer, I've got problems with multitouch
[11:35] <cristian_c> obviously with the right id in xinput list
[11:35] <alocer> mmmmmmmmmm ok , i have nothing to say sry :|
[11:35] <cristian_c> ok :)
[11:36] <cristian_c> jrib, thanks, I'll try :)
[11:36] <jrib> cristian_c: try and see :)  I know I've used xinput in the past to set those synaptics options but I'm not on my laptop right now to access the history
[11:38] <cristian_c> no problem, I will study this matter
[11:38] <cristian_c> :)
[11:39] <gaga> magyar nincs itt?
[11:40] <lnxslck> hello guys, i have unity and gnome installed, but i want to install kde
[11:40] <LjL> !hu | gaga
[11:40] <lnxslck> what is the correct way to install kde?
[11:40] <jrib> !kde | lnxslck
[11:40] <LjL> lnxslck: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop   will install everything that normally comes with Kubuntu
[11:40] <MonkeyDust> lnxslck  try sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[11:41] <alocer> anyone got prb with nvidia graphic cards ? ?
[11:41] <lnxslck> ubottu,  and ljl and MonkeyDust : will that install the full kubuntu-desktop
[11:41] <lnxslck> replacing my ubuntu desktop?
[11:41] <lnxslck> right?
[11:41] <lnxslck> i just want kde, i don't want to change my ubuntu to kubuntu
[11:41] <alocer> yes it will
[11:41] <LjL> lnxslck: it won't replace ubuntu desktop
[11:41] <LjL> lnxslck: but yes it will install the full kubuntu
[11:42] <alocer> it will like xubuntu did right ?
[11:42] <jrib> lnxslck: you'll have a choice at the login screen to let you choose the environment you want
[11:42] <MonkeyDust> lnxslck  you can choose after you installed it
[11:42] <lnxslck> LjL, when my pc boots it will show Ubuntu ? not kubuntu then right?
[11:42] <lnxslck> i will try it then
[11:42] <LjL> lnxslck: it will show Kubuntu after you install it, but that can be easily changed
[11:42] <lnxslck> LjL, right, that's the thing i dind't wnat
[11:42] <LjL> (uhm, not sure i remember how, but pretty sure it's easy :P)
[11:43] <lnxslck> what about installing only kde?
[11:43] <lnxslck> like apt-get install kfe-full?
[11:43] <LjL> lnxslck: you could install the... yes
[11:43] <MonkeyDust> lnxslck  guess you can also install just plasma
[11:44] <lnxslck> i will try this kde-full package
[11:44] <lnxslck> i really like ubuntu, don't want any thing to do with kubuntu
[11:44] <robertzaccour> can anyone recommend good webcam software? guvcview and cheese freeze within 20 minutes or sooner, and sometimes I need it running longer than that.
[11:46] <GirlyGirl_> lnxslck: You select the session type at login
[11:46] <alocer> how can i c if libvirtd daemon is started ? :">
[11:46] <LjL> lnxslck: uh, if you don't want "anything to do with Kubuntu", then don't install KDE at all. the KDE packages are done by the Kubuntu people.
[11:46] <MonkeyDust> alocer  try ps -e
[11:47] <robertzaccour> whats the difference between installing kde and kubuntu-desktop?
[11:47] <LjL> lnxslck: it's not like Ubuntu and Kubuntu are separate things, they just differ in what UI packages are installed by default
[11:47] <GirlyGirl_> lnxslck: But if you want the latest version of kde do http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-sc-4.8.2 before installing kubuntu-desktop
[11:47] <alocer> MonkeyDust, it is a service like win 7 right ?
[11:48] <MonkeyDust> alocer  i'm not familiar with win7, no advice on that
[11:48] <alocer> MonkeyDust, tnx
[11:48] <spanner3003> hi how to i get my sound blaster x-fi xtreamgemer working on ubuntu 11.10 x64
[11:49] <GirlyGirl_> lnxslck: But if you just want to try KDE then better just download a Kubuntu livecd (preferably 12.04 when it comes out) and try it
[11:50] <spanner3003> i'v tryed asla stuff it stop ubuntu boot had to reinstall the linux-image
[11:50] <alocer> lnxslck, try xubuntu too
[11:50] <alocer> lnxslck, it looks nice
[11:50] <lnxslck> alocer, i already know xfce
[11:50] <lnxslck> alocer, there are so many DE :)
[11:50] <alocer> lnxslck, :D
[11:51] <alocer> lnxslck,  but i like it ;)
[11:51] <lnxslck> alocer, so do i, but i usually stick to gnome 3 or unity
[11:51] <lnxslck> but there are some kde apps that i like
[11:51] <lnxslck> i usually get bored using the same de over and over again
[11:51] <robertzaccour> could the webcam display freezing possibly be DE specific?
[11:52] <spanner3003> i have the XFiDrv_Linux_Public_US_1.00 driver from creative but it wont compile
[11:52] <lnxslck> robertzaccour, not likelly
[11:52] <lnxslck> robertzaccour, maybe a hardware issue
[11:53] <spanner3003>   CC [M]  /home/spanner3003/Downloads/XFiDrv_Linux_Public_US_1.00/xfi.o

[12:20] <saulotoledo> hello all! I need open a shell at Web to allow users run some shell scripts if they want. I used PHPTerm, who opens a terminal with the current Apache user. All it's ok, but I need the users can change to their accounts (using su), but I receive the message "su: must be run from a terminal". There are some workaround?
[12:20] <saulotoledo> I can't add www-data to sudo, or others will run the scripts, the users need change to his accounts first
[12:21] <donavan01> if I need to resize my linux partition can I do it from within ubuntu while its running or do I have to use a live cd/usb ... or can I just by pass it all and use windows 7 resize tool?
[12:21] <i7c_> donavan01: win7 probably wont work cuz the file system is not supported by win7
[12:21] <CFHowlett> donavan01   don't resize a mounted partition.  I wouldn't trust windows to resize.
[12:21] <MonkeyDust> donavan01  gparted does the job, but use a live usb, mounted partitions cannot be changed
[12:22] <cloudgeek> any command line dictionary like webster
[12:22] <i7c_> cloudgeek: dict
[12:22] <donavan01> I was affraid of that I dont have a live cd at my disposal right now

[12:24] <MonkeyDust> superuser_ir  apt-get dist-upgrade or else fresh install
[12:24] <CFHowlett> superuser_ir   once 12.04 is released, update manager will offer to upgrade
[12:24] <bastidrazor> MonkeyDust: dist-upgrade will not upgrade distro versions
[12:25] <cloudgeek> MonkeyDust: ubottu don't know about webster
[12:25] <bastidrazor> superuser_ir: sudo do-release-upgrade -d  will get you there.
[12:25] <MonkeyDust> bastidrazor  didnt know that, learned something new, tnx

[12:31] <rsh> I am trying to copy a folder from to some other folder but it say permission denied
[12:32] <rsh> anybody?
[12:32] <yrg> rsh: to what other folder ?
[12:32] <CFHowlett> rsh   both folders under the same user??
[12:32] <rsh> trying setting permission using chmod  755 folder
[12:32] <MonkeyDust> rsh  use sudo for everything outside /home
[12:32] <rsh> but doesnt help
[12:33] <compdoc> hopefully, its not an important system folder?
[12:33] <compdoc> rsh, are you using command line, or nautilus?
[12:33] <rsh> everything is under home
[12:33] <rsh> both way compdoc
[12:33] <yrg> rsh: check folder owner please
[12:34] <compdoc> try: gksu nautilus
[12:34] <pangolin> gksudo
[12:34] <compdoc> that will move anything
[12:34] <rsh> yrg, the folder to be copied or destination folder?
[12:34] <yrg> i expect this to be solveable under the user whose /home/ this is
[12:34] <yrg> rsh: both
[12:34] <Caifas> Hello guys, is there a way to cryptograph my hd and use a pendrive to check if my hardware is the same that made the crypt and unlock it?
[12:35] <rsh> yrg, folder -to- be- copied is owned by root , while the destination folder is by normal user
[12:36] <yrg> rsh: ok -- can you set original folder owner to yourself?
[12:36] <jrib> rsh: you should say exactly what you are doing.
[12:37] <yrg> rsh: yes, what jrib said would be helpful. copying root folder to /home/ isn't a normal thing to happen.
[12:37] <rsh> yrg, both user accounts are mine
[12:37] <rsh> yea
[12:37] <yrg> what is this for?
[12:38] <rsh> that mozilla is wierd several times i changed its default destination but #$%$#% wont save in my normal user's home
[12:39] <yrg> rsh: what application are you trying to install? firefox should be in the Ubuntu repositotues, so it installs automatically. it doesn't ask default destination then
[12:40] <rsh> the thing is that , i have downloaded zip file and kept it on my desktop , now i need to move it to my /development/eclipse_workspace/ folder
[12:40] <yrg> ooh. you downloaded it not as root, right?
[12:40] <rsh> yep
[12:41] <rsh> by default root is deactivated on ubuntu isnt it?
[12:41] <yrg> and you extracted the archive you downloaded. you didn't do that as root, did you?
[12:41] <rsh> no
[12:41] <rsh> i used sudo su
[12:41] <rsh> and then extracted it
[12:41] <yrg> rsh: how did you use sudo su? what part of this was done as root ?
[12:41] <rsh> otherwise it wasnt allowing me to extract it either
[12:42] <rsh> for extracting yrg
[12:42] <yrg> what directory did you download it to?
[12:42] <rsh> Desktop
[12:42] <rsh> of normal user
[12:42] <yrg> it should let you extract as normal user then... :)
[12:42] <AngrySpam> Hey, is there anybody here available to help me?
[12:42] <yrg> rsh: any error message when you try that?
[12:43] <fishcooker> shortcut for lock the desktop
[12:43] <rsh> yrg as normal user , while extracting it says cannot delete old files .....
[12:44] <yrg> rsh: did you try to extract to a different directory?
[12:44] <rsh> fishcooker, ctrl + L
[12:44] <rsh> no , i ddint
[12:44] <rsh> let me try first
[12:45] <rsh> oops
[12:45] <rsh> I should have try that first
[12:45] <rsh> yrg, got it
[12:45] <bastidrazor> AngrySpam: ask the channel and if someone knows they will answer.
[12:45] <rsh> silly me
[12:45] <rsh> I am in the habit of dragging and extracting in the same folder
[12:46] <fishcooker> rsh ctrl alt L
[12:46] <yrg> rsh: :) now you can use su to delete old files ;)
[12:46] <rsh> thanks yrg compdoc and others
[12:46] <rsh> sure :D
[12:46] <yrg> rsh: going to compile firefox, are you? I get it's firefox and eclipse stuff
[12:46] <rsh> fishcooker, oh I am sorry , though I use that combination everyday , i forgot
[12:47] <rsh> thanks for reminding me
[12:47] <jrib> rsh: please stop using sudo su, see ubottu
[12:47] <jrib> !sudo > rsh
[12:47] <rsh> yrg, its java project
[12:47] <rsh> sure
[12:48] <yrg> rsh: hmm, have fun :) (they tend to use 'sudo {command here}' rather than switching to root...) just ask if you have more questions.
[12:48] <rsh> yrg, thanks for the tip
[12:48] <rsh> !cli
[12:49]  * rsh :* ubottu
[12:49] <yrg> rsh: i personally don't change that, because i can see which of the admins did what -- rather than seeing all the stuff as done by 'root' -- but there might be few other cons and pros that I didn't consider
[13:00] <Guest45851> hi guys, how can I get libxml2.so i386?
[13:00] <Guest45851> 12.04 seems have issues in ia32-libs
[13:00] <maylow> hello
[13:01] <escott> !precise | Guest45851 just apt-get install libxml2:i386
[13:01] <maylow> anyone any experience with ubuntu live cd netboot?
[13:02] <compdoc> maylow, is that different than the normal live cd?
[13:03] <maylow> compdoc: cannot make it see the iso on a cifs share
[13:03] <maylow> compdoc: the share is otherwize visible from the network
[13:03] <compdoc> what cant see it?
[13:03] <maylow> compdoc: total commander for ex.
[13:03] <maylow> ops
[13:03] <maylow> sry
[13:03] <maylow> compdoc: the kernel
[13:04] <maylow> compdoc: i get the kernal up and runing on the client machine
[13:04] <compdoc> you doing some sort of VM?
[13:04] <maylow> compdoc: it tries to find the iso at //<IP_ADDRESS>/liveboot/
[13:04] <Caifas> is there a way to cryptograph my hd and use a pendrive to check if my hardware is the same that made the crypt and unlock it?
[13:04] <maylow> compdoc: but fails and stops the boot
[13:04] <maylow> compdoc: no - im trying to install ubuntu on a pc that only has network
[13:05] <compdoc> I see
[13:05] <maylow> compdoc: no - no cd, no usb boot
[13:05] <escott> maylow, the initrd/kernel will not know how to find it on cifs. i think the only way this works is if the bios downloads the entire image and creates a fake disk for the initrd to then read the rootfs off of
[13:05] <maylow> compdoc: but with netboot
[13:05] <compdoc> I never saw anyone moun an iso that way.
[13:05] <compdoc> mount
[13:05] <geoffrey> hell
[13:06] <maylow> escott: i use casper which has -netfs=cifs as param
[13:06] <maylow> escott: casper is the official way ubuntu goes live from cd
[13:07] <jafox> hi, vim in ubuntu has charachter count when pressing g ctrl+g, how do you get that in windows/gvim?

[13:13] <SlaShWiZarD> hi guys, i am on 11.04. i applied a kernel update yesterday night. it appears to have broken my x server. the screen is very sluggish and i can't do anything with it. do you know if there was a problem with any released updates recently?
[13:14] <yrg> industrial: doesn't it ask to enter that during install? :)
[13:14] <industrial> yrg: haven't seen any
[13:15] <yrg> industrial: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostgreSQL seems has some docs about logging into it
[13:15] <industrial> thanks
[13:17] <Joe_GDI> hola
[13:18] <Joe_GDI> hello
[13:19] <auronandace> Joe_GDI: greetings
[13:19] <Joe_GDI> hola
[13:19] <Joe_GDI> que tal estamos
[13:20] <industrial> yrg: After you inserted the password you access PostgreSQL with line commands. <-- That's what I wanna know
[13:20] <industrial> the user is postgres, that I know.
 thanks, while it can not be search out from synaptic, just curious
[13:23] <industrial> yrg: also: postgres: command not found
[13:23] <Joe_GDI> hello
[13:23] <Joe_GDI> hello
[13:23] <industrial> so I can't do sudo postgres createuser --superuser nickname
[13:24] <escott> !ask | Joe_GDI
[13:24] <industrial> I might temporarily opt for Sqlite3, then

[13:30] <AndyUbuntu> hello
[13:30] <AndyUbuntu> :p
[13:30] <soulraven> please help me, i am try to make the fullscreen for flash on ubuntu 11.10 with intel 945gm
[13:31] <cloudgeek> i am using bash as my shell , like when i use any command in bash such as top, dict asterisk ; then it show me data , but i have scroll up with mouse, from where data/information about command showed to me.is any command which can take me to upword from where i starts my command !
[13:31] <soulraven> i have installed xorg drivers, i have try with >>mms file
[13:31] <soulraven> but still is not working
[13:31] <soulraven> any ideea?
[13:31] <escott> cloudgeek, command -with -output | less
[13:33]  * Dr_willis waits for an actual support question now that all the hellos are done...
[13:34] <cloudgeek> escott: thanks it works better according to my problem
[13:34] <yrg> industrial: sorry, I can't help you further -- sleep time. Please ask question in one line (including the commands not found and username that you remember) and wait for a reply in here. Thanks!
[13:35] <industrial> yrg: nn
[13:35] <cloudgeek> escott: but i have to end process with CRTL^Z , is any other way or shortcut so that , it show information from starting with making distrubnace to bash like in same manner
[13:36] <escott> cloudgeek, if you quit less then the app should close. if you just want to redirect the output for future analysis then command > log.txt so you can later read the log file
[13:37] <bekks> cloudgeek: less terminates by pressing the q key.
[13:37] <MonkeyDu1t> cloudgeek  ctrl z does not end it, but puts it in the background
[13:37] <escott> cloudgeek, if you need to log it and see it look at tee
[13:37] <bekks> You ont have to stop the whole process using ctrl+z
[13:37] <cloudgeek> escott: like when i use 3-4 commands then like history if i want check my previous results on bash , then with less i lose information . like any other solution (command line) to scroll back rather then with mouse
[13:37] <cloudgeek> bekks: then how to exit from less
[13:38] <MonkeyDu1t> cloudgeek  q
[13:38] <bekks> I just told you :)
[13:38] <cloudgeek> :)
[13:39] <cloudgeek> :) *all
[13:40] <MonkeyDust> cloudgeek  after ctrl-z, you can bring back the process with fg 1
[13:40] <cloudgeek> okay
[13:41] <cloudgeek> less is working fine with pipe
[13:42] <kyoku> clear
[13:43] <cloudgeek> one more thing this is fine ls -a | less , but only ls -a , then is there is another to back top of the command , means from where ls -a starts , without scrolling mouse, any keyboard shortcut , like CRTL^E to go end of line
[13:43] <satyanash> cloudgeek, you could use PgUp
[13:43] <cloudgeek> or like irssi ALT^P to previous history or logs on same shell without changing of the data
[13:44] <satyanash> cloudgeek, to get to the top quicker
[13:45] <bob_> cloudgeek: Shift+PageUp
[13:45] <cloudgeek> satyanash: that is not working with my bash
[13:45] <cloudgeek> satyanash: that working with irssi
[13:45] <cloudgeek> bob_: thanks
[13:45] <bob_> cloudgeek: you are welcome
[13:46] <viktor> i connected my laptop to a 40" samsung lcd, my system only goes to a resolution of 1280x1024 and the lcd requires min 2560x800. what can i do about this?
[13:46] <cloudgeek> bob_: +1 , others also help me a lot learn a lot of things back to work
[13:46] <satyanash> cloudgeek, for less, pgup should work..shift+pgup will work on a normal shell.
[13:46] <satyanash> i.e. without less..
[13:46] <cloudgeek> satyanash: nice tip
[13:47] <voldyman> i want to change my home directory to a directory in another disk but usermod says no changes
