[13:58] <D_Russ> sysadamin: maybe i dont need a gui, but for the sake of getting it done right now with little to no html skills i would like a website creater with a GUI
[13:58] <mneptok> D_Russ: what is it you are trying to do?
[13:58] <terr1akky> is it complicated to connect dsl modem (via usb)? or just point and click type of deal?
[13:58] <terr1akky> Somebody asked me this about Linux - and I dunno - since I don't have dsl modem or ever tried connecting it via usb.
[13:59] <D_Russ> build a one page landing page
[13:59] <donavan01> Oh also streaming from the laptop to my desktop computer would be great
[13:59] <D_Russ> for now
[13:59] <tziOm> sysadamin: so its not: http://puppetlabs.com/
[13:59] <sysadamin> tziOm: it is
[13:59] <Osa2OsX> ubottu, how do you know that the package ee isn't available in 11.10 version?
[14:00] <D_Russ> mneptok: build a landing page
[14:00] <mneptok> D_Russ: sudo apt-get install kompozer
[14:00] <linuxuz3r> i need a jdk for 11.10 which one should i download
[14:00] <D_Russ> thank you mneptok
[14:01] <Osa2OsX> !info ee
[14:01] <xangua> linuxuz3r: if you mean oracle/sun java, it's no longer on repositories
[14:01] <mneptok> D_Russ: *bow*
[14:01] <linuxuz3r> oh
[14:01] <linuxuz3r> how do i use the oracle sun version
[14:01] <Osa2OsX> !info nano
[14:01] <dc5ala> linuxuz3r, you have to manually get openjdk 6 or 7
[14:01] <mneptok> Osa2OsX: are you looking for an easy to use CLI text editor?
[14:02] <xangua> linuxuz3r: there is a post on webupd8 to add a ppa and install java
[14:02] <xangua> http://www.webupd8.org/2011/10/things-to-tweak-after-installing-ubuntu.html
[14:02] <linuxuz3r> ppa can break your system right
[14:03] <linuxuz3r> when is 12.04 going to be released
[14:03] <xangua> linuxuz3r: depends of what ppa are you refering
[14:03] <linuxuz3r> xangua, the whole ppa scheme
[14:04] <D_Russ> linuxz3r: 6 months from now
[14:04] <xangua> linuxuz3r: if 11.10 went out on october 2011, when do you think 12.04 will be¿
[14:04] <D_Russ> ok 5 months
[14:04] <linuxuz3r> next year april
[14:04] <linuxuz3r> ok
[14:04] <edbian> xangua: probably april 2012
[14:05] <linuxuz3r> are they going to keep the unity theme
[14:05] <edbian> xangua: considering every Ubuntu release is 6 months apart
[14:05] <KG> I'm using 11.10. Both of my scanners were working, but now the system does not detect them. What has happened?
[14:05] <edbian> xangua: and that's what the numbering means (12 = 20112, .04 = april the fourth month)
[14:05] <D_Russ> they need to just stop with this 6 month release crap and just realease them when they are rock solid within a reasonable timeline.
[14:05] <mneptok> KG: Brother hardware?
[14:06] <xangua> edbian: and you tell this to me instead of linuxuz3r because...
[14:06] <xangua> :/
[14:06] <D_Russ> i would rather wait a year and have a bug free release from the start
[14:06] <xangua> D_Russ: there is LTS if you want 'solid rock'
[14:06] <edbian> xangua: I'm not allowed to tell people information?  linuxuz3r has to tell you?
[14:06] <jiltdil> Is there any method inspite of Rootkit Hunter and Chkrootkit to detect rootkit?
[14:06] <compdoc>  they arent bugs - theyre adventures!
[14:07] <dns> For Free ShellS -> /q dns :-)
[14:07] <edbian> compdoc: ++
[14:07] <D_Russ> i guess thats true xangua
[14:07] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[14:07] <mneptok> dns: do not advertise on Ubuntu channels. thanks.
[14:07] <jiltdil> Is there any method inspite of Rootkit Hunter and Chkrootkit to detect rootkit?
[14:08] <mneptok> !repeat > jiltdil
[14:08] <jiltdil> mneptok i suggest you to don't be over  smart
[14:08] <mneptok> jiltdil: please follow channel guidelines.
[14:08] <iceroot> jiltdil: i suggest not to repeat like that
[14:08] <D_Russ> maybe its just me, wanting to have the latest version to play with lol. But it would be better reputation wise to not release a new versio until it is LTS quality.
[14:09] <iceroot> jiltdil: look at the sourcecode of that tools if you are interested how they are working
[14:09] <szal> D_Russ: there's always Debian :P
[14:09] <D_Russ> im happy with ubuntu
[14:09] <D_Russ> just saying for noobs
[14:09] <D_Russ> well im a noob
[14:10] <jiltdil> iceroot: i have written a my own .. need some other rootkit source to modify my one...so i can make it quite good
[14:10] <D_Russ> but for noobs that are even more noob than i. lol
[14:10] <linuxuz3r> how do you navigate with in the workspaces of unity?
[14:10] <D_Russ> anyhow gtg folks
[14:10] <D_Russ> ttyl
[14:11] <xangua> linuxuz3r: click on the workplaces icon
[14:11] <D_Russ> linuxuz3r: with a mouse
[14:11] <jiltdil> iceroot:mneptok: Any way sorry if  i used wrong words.
[14:11] <linuxuz3r> are there shortcuts for navigating between workspaces
[14:11] <thrope> i just upgraded to 11.04 (bit late I know) - gfortran-4.3 has gone away... can anyone point me to somewhere I can find a gfortran-4.3 binary? a non-standard repo or somehint
[14:11] <mneptok> jiltdil: it's the repeating yourself every 30 seconds that is a problem.
[14:12] <jiltdil> mneptok: ok no issue now :) Be calm
[14:12] <linuxuz3r> are there shortcuts for navigating between workspaces?
[14:13] <mneptok> linuxuz3r: i use CTL-ATL-(arrow-key) in GNOME2 and XFCE. don;t know about GNOME3.
[14:13] <dc5ala> linuxuz3r, you can assign hotkeys for it
[14:13] <phlak_user> mneptok, that works in unity
[14:13] <phlak_user> mneptok, also
[14:13] <mneptok> phlak_user: right you are if you say so ;)
[14:14] <phlak_user> mneptok, just tried it ;)
[14:15] <thrope> do I have to build gcc from source to get gfortan 4.3 on 11.04?
[14:17] <mneptok> thrope: 4.3 is an antique version no longer in the repos. use 4.4 or 4.5.
[14:18] <Mike9863> Does anyone know how to get GNOME Color Chooser to affect gtk3 apps, or if there is another program that provides similar functionality?
[14:18] <phlak_user> !info gfortran-4.5 | thrope
[14:18] <joshuau> !games
[14:19] <thrope> mneptok: matlab only supports 4.3 so I need that version... fortran mex files segfault with any other version. I can build gcc from source I guess but I was hoping to find a binary
[14:19] <thrope> 4.5 and 4.4 do not work

[14:21] <deeman> how can i create a simple gui with 1 button that has a picture over it...simple little button that when i press it it will open up a terminal and perform find command 'find -type f -iname "*.txt" -exec shred -z {}+'
[14:22] <mneptok> thrope: sorry, not going to be much help. when i was learning to code in the early 1980s i was told Fortran was not something that would be around for much longer. uhhhh ....  ;)
[14:22] <deeman> i just need a sorta hello world program tutorial for gui
[14:22] <jrib> deeman: depends on language.  If you want to stick to shell scripts, use zenity
[14:22] <deeman> ok zenity ....say i wanted to use perl
[14:22] <jrib> deeman: pick a toolkit... maybe gtk
[14:22] <thrope> mneptok: that isn't much help! :)  but for mixed language it is really nice because no other language has first class array objects... can seamless mix with matlab without copying/reallocation and use openmp and vectorised algorithms easily translated from matlab
[14:23] <stephni> i converted an avi videofile to 3gp and the mb sky rocketed from 53 to 201mb how will i compress it
[14:23] <soreau> thrope: This might be a candidate for a gcc bug against the fortran compiler
[14:23] <deeman> hmm darn im such a noob
[14:23] <thrope> mneptok: i have ifort but I like to keep stuff working with gfortran too
[14:23] <jrib> deeman: ask #perl for options
[14:23] <soreau> thrope: Curious though, what still uses fortran?
[14:23] <deeman> jrib how do i do that im noobie here a lil
[14:23] <chris215> hi, is there some command like aptitude add repository ass opposed to apt-add-repository?  i have been switching to aptitude when dealing with software and would like to know..
[14:23] <jrib> deeman: do you already know perl?
[14:24] <thrope> soreau: I use it to extend matlab or python for speed (numerics)... vectorised notatino and arrays work very well, and openmp is nice (can do somethings can't do in c++ liek reductioin on arrays and so on)
[14:24] <jrib> chris215: no, use apt-add-repository.  It just modifies your sources.list
[14:24] <deeman> jrib ooh channel perl..sorry i just woke up...no i dont really know perl i mainly use bash shell
[14:24] <thrope> soreau: I wouldn't like to rwrite a big app in it but when I want to make a loop faster and parallelise without paying matlab $10,000 it is the quickest and easiest way
[14:24] <soreau> thrope: I don't care about what *you* use it for :) I'm wondering what real-world apps use it
[14:25] <dr_willis> chris215:  not really that ive seen
[14:25] <thrope> soreau: scientific computing
[14:25] <francisvgarcia> has anyone done a workaround for installing the  HP un2420 Mobile on ubuntu?
[14:25] <thrope> soreau: nothing else as far as I know
[14:25] <Dark_Apostrophe> Hello, since I installed Ubuntu, my laptop's fan is working non-stop. It didn't when I used Win7 - is there a way to manually regulate the fan?
[14:25] <jbwiv__> guys, power management is doing something weird on my dell latitude with 11.10. when I am on battery power, mouse movement and performance is fine.  Mouse is so slow it's unusable. Any ideas how to fix this?
[14:26] <quixotedon> jbwiv__: have you updated dell bios on your computer?
[14:26] <jrib> deeman: well look up a hello world example for zenity and see if that's good enough.  If not, then look one up for perl (and I'll suggest python to you as well).  Once you pick a language, pick a toolkit (I would just go with gtk, but ask the #perl or #python people for options)
[14:26] <jbwiv__> quixotedon: no, I haven't
[14:26] <jbwiv__> quixotedon, is that necessary?
[14:27] <quixotedon> well, my dell trackpad also goes wild, sometimes
[14:27] <jbwiv__> quixotedon, is there a way  to tell what bios I'm running without rebooting?
[14:27] <quixotedon> jbwiv__: dell provides bios update through exe file, about bios thing, i don't have any idea how we could check it through ubuntu
[14:28] <linuxuz3r> how do i change the size of the side bar
[14:28] <eSoul> quixotedon -- you need to get something that loads windows off a cd
[14:29] <eSoul> I did it myself the other day, UBCD4Win should would

[14:29] <deeman> yeah..so u suggest python..ok i never created a gui program ..sometimes i just create small scripts for small little tasks but i wanted to just setup a button gui with a lil picture over it just to check it out.... im getting so familiar with bash scripting...is it possible to code in bash and export it along with the programs im using...such as cd, cp, find, grep etc onto windows?

[15:04] <mathgirl> Hello.  After upgrading to Oneiric, I can't get X anymore.  I just get the Ubuntu... startup screen.  I've tried switching to gdm, but that didn't work.  What should I do? :(
[15:04] <jbwiv__> guys, on my dell latitude with 11.10, which I plug into power kworker goes crazy and eats cpu. A number of folks  have reported problems like this, but I've found no resolution. Anyone know how to fix?
[15:04] <dr_willis> gulzar: ubuntu uses compiz also
[15:05] <gulzar> dr_willis: right but how to set my top left corner to mouse to show all the working apps?
[15:05] <gulzar> dr_willis: I installed compiz and is using it with cairo-dock on XFCE but this binding is the thing I want to know.
[15:06] <mathgirl> I am able to login by safemode, and to things at the CLI.
[15:06] <mathgirl> I can also ssh into the machine while it sits frozen at ubuntu... so it's easy to tell what's going on if that's helpful.
[15:07] <ceej> hi, is there anyway to not show this screen http://screencast.com/t/ilnJZobX and just always do the option selected?
[15:07] <dr_willis> gulzar:  no idea.  some setting in ccsm i imagine
[15:08] <ceej> so I see http://screencast.com/t/BJwCRqQM
[15:08] <ceej> can I set a timeout ?
[15:08] <gulzar> dr_willis: right but not getting them. Expo shows workspaces similarly there must be something to show all apps.. but don't know what is it.. i will ask knoppix people
[15:09] <mathgirl> Is there some way to roll back an upgrade?  My machine was fine with Natty.
[15:09] <wakejagr> ceej: you can set a timeout.  i don't remember the specifics, but if you read the man page for grub, that will get you started
[15:09] <phlak_user> mathgirl, what graphics card?
[15:10] <dr_willis> mathgirl: not really

[15:10] <mathgirl> Is the graphics card something I could see in dmesg?
[15:10] <phlak_user> ceej, set the default timeout in /etc/default/grub and run sudo update-grub2 after that

[15:14] <FloodBot1> mathgirl: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:14] <phlak_user> ceej, and how did you come to know its not letting you edit?
[15:15] <mathgirl> Oops, sorry for the flood.
[15:16] <mathgirl> If the flood was muted, I can put it in pastebin.
[15:17] <abstrakt> is there an easy way to roll back to php 5.2 on ubuntu 10.10?
[15:17] <BluesKaj> mathgirl, lspci |grep VGA gives just one line, not awehole lot of verbose stuff'
[15:17] <abstrakt> the default 10.10 packages are for PHP 5.3
[15:17] <scotty^> phlak_user:  Any comments on mathgirl's graphics card?
[15:17] <nosmelc> I'm booting Ubuntu from a USB stick.  I'm trying to copy the hard drive data to a share on a Windows machine.  I can mount the share, but it says I don't have permission to access it.  Where do I put in the user name & password for the share?
[15:17] <scotty^> mathgirl:  The simple version you replied to BluesKaj with will do.
[15:17] <phlak_user> scotty^, mathgirl looks like your regular Nvidia GEforce 4000 card
[15:17] <mathgirl> Sorry, bluesKaj, here's the response to what you said:  03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation C79 [GeForce 9400] (rev b1)
[15:18] <phlak_user> oops 9400
[15:18] <chris215> hey, how do i change the boot order for grub?  i am reading etc/default/grub and also thius tutorial at:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#A.2BAC8-etc.2BAC8-default.2BAC8-grub_.28file.29  however i am kind of lost
[15:19] <scotty^> nouveau was introduced with Natty, right?  So that's not the cause of any problems after upgrading to Oneiric....
[15:19] <Beelsebob> heya, what tool can I use to see what symbols are in a .a file?
[15:19] <BluesKaj> mathgirl, open admin>additional drivers , check for the recommended driver and install it
[15:20] <mathgirl> I don't have a GUI on the machine.  That's my problem.
[15:20] <dr_willis> nouveau can cause issues
[15:20] <phlak_user> Beelsebob, nm
[15:20] <Beelsebob> cheers
[15:20] <BluesKaj> mathgirl, girl , most likely the nvidia-current
[15:20] <ceej> phlak_user: it told me I couldn't edit it lol
[15:20] <mathgirl> How can I run whatever admin>additional drivers woudl do?
[15:20] <jrib> mathgirl: jockey-text
[15:20] <fellayaboy> say i wanted to run a zenity dialog box to a box i sshed into...how could i display it on his pc? do i use screen program?
[15:20] <BluesKaj> are you at a prompt , math girl?
[15:20] <phlak_user> ceej, it must be marked as read-only; you need to save with :x! (force save)
[15:21] <dr_willis> sudo apt-get install nvidia-common
[15:21] <chris215> also i have more than linux os instlaled with their own grub files, which makes me wonder which one to edit, or dothey all conform when i edit one?
[15:21] <mathgirl> Yes, I'm sshing into the machine.
[15:21] <jrib> fellayaboy: you set the DISPLAY variable (probably to :0)
[15:21] <Loptr> how can i check if i'm using alsa or pulseaudio
[15:21] <szal> dr_willis: -common?
[15:21] <fellayaboy> jrib where woudl id o that
[15:21] <dr_willis> fellayaboy:  x forwarding
[15:21] <phlak_user> ceej, just type sudo vi /etc/default/grub
[15:21] <fellayaboy> jrib where would i do that
[15:21] <ceej> phlak_user: k i'll try with x!
[15:21] <mathgirl> jockey-text just said
[15:21] <dr_willis> mqy be current
[15:22] <mathgirl> Additional Drivers
[15:22] <jrib> fellayaboy: DISPLAY=:0 command
[15:22] <phlak_user> Loptr, if you havent done anything after a fresh install, its pulse by default
[15:22] <mathgirl> Searching for additional drivers
[15:22] <jrib> mathgirl: erm didn't you just finish pasting into the channel?
[15:22] <mathgirl> I'll try apt-getting as instructed.
[15:22] <dpac> hey, my power usage on default kde session is around 30W but on failsafe its 12-15W. Can anyone explain what does  failsafe disable? I posted this on #ubuntu but no one seems to be active there. Maybe you guys could help
[15:22] <dr_willis> fellayaboy:  what os is the local machine using?
[15:22] <fellayaboy> so once im sshed i put zenity --warning DISPLAY=:0
[15:22] <vahid> hi
[15:22] <fellayaboy> both are ubuntu 11.04
[15:22] <dpac> #kubuntu*
[15:22] <szal> mathgirl: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current && sudo nvidia-xconfig, then reboot
[15:22] <mathgirl> Maybe the flood protection bot gradually allowed my pasting to trickle in?
[15:22] <jrib> fellayaboy: put DISPLAY=:0 at the beginning of the line
[15:23] <fellayaboy> ok and then he should see the display jrib?
[15:23] <jrib> mathgirl: that's not relevant, just use a pastebin
[15:23] <jrib> fellayaboy: yes
[15:23] <mathgirl> I'll use a pastebin from now on.
[15:23] <ceej> phlak_user: no go http://screencast.com/t/eTOOEv1BXY
[15:23] <fellayaboy> ok ima test it brb
[15:23] <Loptr> phlak_user, My sounds cards support 24 and 32 bit audio and now it plays only 16 bit, where can i change the settings for 24 bit?
[15:23] <mathgirl> Okay, I'm going to do szal's apt-get and restart
[15:23] <dr_willis> fellayaboy:  enable x fowarding and it will handel it all
[15:23] <chris215> hey, how do you kick someone?  i am in another channel with someone being abusive and need to deal with them
[15:24] <chris215> is it /kick followed by the nick?
[15:24] <fellayaboy> dr_willis i want strictly commandline
[15:24] <matyy> hey
[15:24] <fellayaboy> instead of the gui zenity popping up
[15:24] <phlak_user> ceej, are you on a livecd boot?
[15:24] <scotty^> chris215: I believe so, but I think you need to be a channel op.
[15:24] <ceej> phlak_user: no
[15:24] <dr_willis> fellayaboy:  somthing makes no sence with that
[15:24] <d4gg3r> I want to install sysvconfig on ubuntu server 10.04, but aptitude can not find that! any idea what repository should I add?
[15:24] <jayar> i thought it was /kick #chan nick
[15:25] <fellayaboy> dr_willis hold on
[15:25] <phlak_user> Loptr, you can try to do this via padevchooser
[15:25] <phlak_user> !info padevchooser | Loptr
[15:25] <mathgirl> http://paste.ubuntu.com/726422/
[15:25] <phlak_user> well
[15:25] <matyy> Is there an  audio player can do smart playlist with AND and OR in one search (Clementine and Banshee can’t)? Amarok can do that, but there I can't find a way to search tags which include a string (only equal smaller and bigger)?
[15:25] <Beelsebob> heya, can anyone see a reason why this might happen? https://gist.github.com/1333924
[15:26] <theadmin> d4gg3r: Since SysVInit is pretty much no longer in use since that release, that package is somewhat useless.
[15:26] <chris215> scotty^: the op handled it
[15:26] <chris215> thanks
[15:26] <Beelsebob> notably, undifened references, to clearly defined things
[15:26] <phlak_user> Loptr, seems to exist till Natty -> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/padevchooser
[15:26] <d4gg3r> theadmin:  what is goig to replace it?
[15:26] <theadmin> d4gg3r: Upstart did
[15:26] <mathgirl> Should I restart even though I got that weird error?
[15:26] <theadmin> !upstart | d4gg3r: Read this
[15:26] <matyy> Just for an example, I want to make a search like that: genre=metal AND (comment includes speed OR comment includes trash)
[15:27] <dr_willis> upstart has replaced sysv ;)
[15:27] <rzec> is it possible to create an .iso image file from an instance of ubuntu running in VMWare Fusion (so that I can easily use that to install on other machines including other virtualization tools like virtualbox, parallels, etc...)?
[15:27] <d4gg3r> okay thank you :)
[15:27] <d4gg3r> ubottu: thanks
[15:27] <Loptr> phlak_user, so can i use it in 11.10?
[15:28] <phlak_user> Loptr, see no reason why you cant; if you're fond of commandline use pactl to select device
[15:28] <theadmin> rzec: There are tools for making iso images out of running instances, yes, the first one that comes to mind is remastersys
[15:28] <fellayaboy> well jrib i was logged in the remote with ssh i typed the command zenity DISPLAY=0 --warning and no dialog showed on remote and gtk-warning cannot open display
[15:28] <dr_willis> rzec copy and convert the vurtual hd to the ither vm's
[15:29] <jrib> fellayaboy: first, does the remote machine have X running?
[15:29] <fellayaboy> DISPLAY=:0* JRIB..I put in that command
[15:29] <theadmin> fellayaboy: I think the command you want is "DISPLAY=:0 --warning"
[15:29] <theadmin> err
[15:29] <theadmin> Never mind
[15:29] <dr_willis> fellayaboy:  the local box is running x?
[15:29] <fellayaboy> yeah i believe x is running...theyre using the internet and stuff
[15:29] <fellayaboy> both are running x i beleive
[15:30] <dr_willis> fellayaboy: you want it to appear locally or on the remote?
[15:30] <fellayaboy> i mean im logged on im not on a total comandline interface.
[15:30] <jrib> fellayaboy: are you sshed as the same user that is logged into X?
[15:30] <fellayaboy> on the remote
[15:30] <mathgirl> I'm still frozen at ubuntu..... screen.  I've ssh'd into the machine again.
[15:30] <fellayaboy> jrib yes i am
[15:30] <dr_willis> remote user has to allow it
[15:30] <jrib> fellayaboy: what did you actually run?
[15:30] <fellayaboy> we're both using the same username on the remote
[15:31] <BluesKaj> !nomodeset  | mathgirl

[15:31] <mathgirl> BluesKaj, thanks, I'll try doing what the URL says.
[15:32] <mathgirl> I'm using chatzilla.
[15:32] <BluesKaj> ok
[15:32] <mathgirl> It seemed to have had a robot say what you're talking about.
[15:32] <dr_willis> !xhost
[15:32] <fellayaboy> well i sshed into the remote...im logged in as his name..and i ran zenity DISPLAY=:0 --title=buttface --warning --text="Warning the system has detected your a loser" --window-icon=error
[15:32] <jrib> fellayaboy: you put "DISPLAY=:0" at the beginning...
[15:32] <theadmin> fellayaboy: Again, variables go before commands
[15:33] <jrib> fellayaboy: also, it's "you're", not "your" :)
[15:33] <theadmin> fellayaboy: DISPLAY=:0 zenity --warning --title="whatever" --text="boo!"
[15:33] <fellayaboy> OH OK I THINK THAT WORKED hol on brb
[15:33] <fellayaboy> lol bingo it did
[15:33] <fellayaboy> okay this is good but how can i also run a program on his..
[15:33] <geff>  ./server irc.hackerzvoice.net 6667
[15:33] <fellayaboy> say i want to run rtorrent on his machine or start up firefox how can i do that from here
[15:34] <fellayaboy> ive been trying to do this for a long time but never got around to it
[15:34] <theadmin> fellayaboy: Pretty much the same way, "DISPLAY=:0 firefox"
[15:34] <geff>  ./server irc.hackerzvoice.net 6667
[15:34] <jrib> fellayaboy: same way... /me finds opening up the cd tray especially amusing by the way
[15:34] <dr_willis> rtorrent is a cli app. use screen with it
[15:34] <fellayaboy> ok hold on let me see
[15:34] <szal> lol..  "hackerzvoice", and IRCing as root..
[15:34] <theadmin> geff: You don't need a space nor a dot in front of your command
[15:34] <fellayaboy> jrib lol
[15:34] <geff>  ./join
[15:34] <dr_willis> firefox is special also.  needs an exrra aegument
[15:35] <theadmin> geff: Ugh, it's "/join", not " ./join"
[15:35] <mathgirl> Aw, man.  I've got to alter grub.  This is always how I end up bricking stuff...
[15:35] <scotty^> jrib: You mean the coffee mug holder? :)
[15:35] <BluesKaj> mathgirl, the nomodeset can be edited by ssh,  sudo nano /etc/default grub
[15:35] <theadmin> mathgirl: Hey, don't worry, we all do it :D
[15:35] <fellayaboy> ok let me see brb
[15:35] <BluesKaj> oops /etc/default/grub

[15:38] <jk^^> can i find on the official ubuntu sites, a Virtual Machine Image of ubuntu to run it on VirtualBox o VMWare?
[15:38] <fellayaboy> what if i want to close the program i ran..how do i do that?
[15:38] <scotty^> danielwolff: Yes
[15:38] <mneptok> jk^^: why do you need a pre-baked image? why not just install it?
[15:39] <BluesKaj> theadmin, or sudo visudo in the terminal
[15:39] <fellayaboy> im actually going to use this for other things rather than annoying my brother at the moment so ...
[15:40] <dpac> hey, my power usage on default kde session is around 30W but on failsafe its 12-15W. Can anyone explain what does  failsafe disable? I posted this on #ubuntu but no one seems to be active there. Maybe you guys could help
[15:40] <jrib> fellayaboy: if you ever end up needing to do it from different accounts, you have to look at what dr_willis was talking about earlier (xauth and xhost)
[15:40] <mathgirl> Okay, I've added nomodeset, run update-grub and shutdown -r now'd.  I'm still frozen at that ubuntu..... screen.
 Ok! Can you help me, please? Can you look at this link: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11388052
[15:40] <fellayaboy> ok whats that about jrib

[15:40] <dr_willis> ;-)
[15:40] <fellayaboy> and what did he mean by x forwarding..to me that was like a vnc where i can see his laptop..thats what i thoguht it meant
[15:40] <mathgirl> I'm thankful it still hasn't gone completely nuts which is what usually happens when I touch grub.
[15:40] <jrib> fellayaboy: basically to prevent what you are doing if you're brother had a different account :)

[15:44] <theadmin> jk^^: Create a blank virtual machine with an empty virtual HD, and in the first run wizard you can select that ISO (or just attach it to the virtual CD drive, whatever)

[15:47] <Slartibart> Why do I get "Not enough free swap" when I try to hibernate, even though free -m says I have used 0/9859 on a 4Gb memory computer?
[15:47] <mathgirl> Since the problem started after an upgrade, I don't have an oneiric CD lying around.
[15:47] <danielwolff> scotty^: Ok. Basically, the problem is not with the intel graphics drivers, but with the display... on Xorg.log the acceleration shows that everything is OK, but nothing shows on the screen (I was able to see the logs over SSH)
[15:48] <mathgirl> I think I can actually download and burn one from the command line.  Let me see if I have any blank CDs.
[15:48] <sinosoidal> hi there
[15:48] <deej1976> Did you install the nividia driver from nvidia or keep to the free one?
[15:48] <sinosoidal> can somebody tell me where can I find examples of multitouch event injection at the kernel level?
[15:48] <mathgirl> I did whatever was told to me earlier in this room.
[15:48] <mathgirl> I think I apt-getted nvidia-common then ran some configuration script.
[15:48] <xangua> Slartibart: phisical ram is not swap
[15:49] <Syd23> hey guys ..i want to become a ubuntu develper..please guide me as to what should i be reading..the apis and concepts?..i am a c and python programmer
[15:49] <danielwolff> I have already tried everything I could (modify the xorg.conf, put other options on kernel boot...) without sucess...
[15:49] <Slartibart> xangua: True, but the ram goes to swap when hibernating, right?
[15:49] <jk^^> theadmin, dr_willis, i'm downloading again the .iso file from ubuntu.it site... last time, i download it by bit torrent protocol, but even by links which are on ubuntu.it site... maybe it's corrupt :| i retry with version downloaded without bit torrent
[15:49] <xangua> Syd23: sound like something for  #ubuntu-dev ;)
[15:49] <xangua> Slartibart: do you have a swap partition¿
[15:49] <Syd23> xangua..asked theit but no one replied :D
[15:50] <dr_willis> jk^^:  torrents verify the data. check the md5 also
[15:50] <xangua> Syd23: giving up so soon¿ ;)
[15:50] <danielwolff> scotty^: I guess the problem is that the machine is an All-in-One and the connectors that the intel drivers "see" is wrong because of that. But thanks anyway... if somebody have some clue, please... let me know.
[15:50] <Slartibart> xangua: Yes. ~8Gb, the rest in free -m is some ramdisk I think.
[15:50] <jk^^> mmhh i don't know how check md5 :(
[15:50] <theadmin> jk^^: Here's how the image is supposed to be attached, basically: http://i.imm.io/b4XE.png

[15:52] <jayar> anyone know how i can save changes to the system when running from live usb?
[15:52] <monlith> http://paste.ubuntu.com/726406/ <- grub does not load my installed version when I reboot - it just reboots itself - the live USB stick works OK - any help will be good
[15:56] <szal> Guest11367: once and for all: Don't PM me without invitation or permission!  Thank you.
[15:57] <dmb_> why is xorg using 100% cpu?
[15:57] <scarleo> jayar: Check this out: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent
[15:57] <danielwolff> Why my HP 200 All in One doesn't run Ubuntu unless I specify "nomodeset" on the kernel boot configuration? I want to use Ubuntu with accelerated drivers, not with VESA compliance mode.
[15:57] <jk^^> thanks to dr_willis, theadmin, mneptok for answer i try your advices ;)
[15:57] <dr_willis> danielwolff:  what chipset
[15:58] <dmb_>  3811 root      20   0  144m  89m  13m R   91  4.4 161:04.05 Xorg
[15:58] <jayar> thnx
[15:59] <dmb_> seems strange...
[15:59] <danielwolff> dr_willis: the problem is not with the chipset (an Intel Integrated Graphics with a i3 Core), by the logs I can see that. It is working fine. It DOES boot, I can hear the login sound, etc... The problem is the video output: it stays blank. I've already tried multiple xorg.conf configurations, without sucess.
[16:00] <dmb_> how can I debug 100% cpu usage in xorg?
[16:00] <dmb_> ctrl-alt-backspace doesn't seem to work like it used to
[16:00] <ezeql> hi, whats the equivalent in ubuntu for windows tracert?
[16:00] <xangua> dmb_: is disabled by default, you can enable it on keyboard settings
[16:00] <smokie> hey guys, is there a way to install GCC without installing build-essential
[16:01] <dr_willis> dmb_: check top output, it may be flash
[16:01] <dmb_> xangua: ty
[16:01] <dmb_> dr_willis: top says Xorg
[16:01] <dmb_> but it could be flash ...
[16:01] <panfist> i rebooted and eth0 disappeared. i only have lo network interface
[16:01] <danielwolff> ezeql: traceroute, is installable with apt-get install traceroute
[16:01] <Mkaysi> ezeql: traceroute (I'm not fully sure what is tracert but it sounds like traceroute)
[16:01] <dr_willis> i would guess flash.....
[16:01] <dmb_> dr_willis: how do I kill flash?
[16:02] <mathgirl> Sorry, office hours.  Thanks for all the help so far.
[16:02] <dr_willis> ps ax   find flash.. kill its pid.. or logout
[16:02] <Milossh> hello. I have 2 problems with new ubuntu: first one is wrt my function keys on my laptop: it's dell 15r, and the only key that's not working is the one for enabling/disabling touchpad, and I really really need it working
[16:03] <Milossh> it shows an empty black space in top right corner of the screen when I'm pressing, with nothing in it
[16:03] <dmb_>  5326 ?        Sl     4:29 /usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromium-browser --type=plugin --plugin-path=/usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so --lang=en-GB --channel=4418.0xbbae2580.36409641
[16:03] <Milossh> and it works properly for sound, brightness and others
[16:03] <theadmin> dr_willis: Flash is a browser plugin, and therefore it's the browser that must be killed, or, well, in Firefox's case it's "plugin-container".
[16:04] <dr_willis> kill them all
[16:04] <dmb_> dr_willis: it won't die
[16:04] <dmb_> kill -9 5326
[16:04] <dr_willis> zombies. :'(
[16:04] <dmb_> oh... hrm... cpu is still high
[16:04] <alienatu> ubuntu zombies?
[16:04] <danielwolff> dr_willis: looking the drm debug logs (with drm.debug=14 on the kernel boot), I was able to see that it shows that the driver found a "panel" with the correct resolution for the display (1920x1080), but when it tries to detect the connectors, the LVDS-1 connector (for LCD displays) doesn't shows up, just a VGA connector, that says it's disconnected
[16:05] <fireflylight> Hi all does anyone know how to remove an icon from the taskbar? on ubuntu 11.10  righthand clicking does not give me an option to remove it
[16:06] <dmb_> ok, well, I never really wanted an OS you could run for more than a few hours anyway
[16:06] <monlith> fireflylight: - right click and remove teh tick on keep in launcher
[16:06] <monlith> z`z
[16:06] <qcode> dmb: ;-)
[16:06] <rzec> is there a way to tell what version a package is at in a repository (php5 for example)?
[16:06] <rzec> before installing it
[16:06] <theadmin> rzec: apt-cache show php5 | grep -i version
[16:07] <jk^^> dr_willis? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes    there isn't 11.10 version hash :|
[16:07] <theadmin> rzec: Before that, though, be sure to run an "apt-get update"
[16:08]  * dmb_ logs out and back in again
[16:08] <fireflylight> monlith: - right clicking the icon only gives me 2 options... "Launch" and "properties"
[16:08] <theadmin> fireflylight: What icon is it?
[16:08] <theadmin> fireflylight: Some icons, indeed, can't be removed, like workspace switcher and such
[16:08] <panfist> i rebooted and eth0 disappeared. i only have lo network interface
[16:08] <theadmin> panfist: sudo service networking start # Does this help?

[16:09] <rzec> theadmin*
[16:09] <theadmin> fireflylight: There's no "r" in my nickname.
[16:09] <deej1976> fireflylight: Is the web browser still running ?
[16:09] <monlith> http://paste.ubuntu.com/726406/ <- grub does not load my installed version when I reboot - it just reboots itself - the live USB stick works OK - any help will be good
[16:09] <theadmin> fireflylight: And okay, that's odd... If the browser is running the icon will be there tho
[16:10] <panfist> theadmin: it says "networking stop/waiting"
[16:10] <qcode> How do you change theme in Ubuntu 11.10?  It only shows me wallpapers
[16:10] <theadmin> panfist: Okay, that's... odd.
[16:10] <qcode> The Appearance applet only lists wallpapers.  What happened to themes?
[16:10] <h00k> qcode: In that dialog box, in the bottom part, you don't see "Theme to be used for the UI" /
[16:11] <h00k> qcode: bottom right
[16:11] <theadmin> qcode: It's a small box in the very bottom of the window
[16:11] <dr_willis> qcode: install gnome-tweak perhaps
[16:11] <qcode> Oh, I see it now.. Thanks
[16:11] <panfist> theadmin: i am tailing syslog and dmesg and both of them do not mention anything new when i try to restart networking
[16:11] <xangua> qcode: install gnome tweak, webupd8 blog mention it
[16:11] <fireflylight> theadmin: - what happend was... i was browsing with firefox and the page got dragged and dropped to the bottom taskbar... now it refuses to go
[16:11] <panfist> the only thing i changed since last reboot was install virtualbox
[16:11] <xangua> http://www.webupd8.org/2011/10/things-to-tweak-after-installing-ubuntu.html

[16:22] <xangua> erase: why you can't¿
[16:22] <augustl> 11.10 runs my thinkpad's fan at almost 50% capacity at all times. Anything I can do to fix it?
[16:22] <LucidGuy> Networking question.. I have an uknown host on my network, is there a way via arp tables etc to detect which switch port the device is on?  This way I can physically track it down
[16:22] <erase> xangua, 11.04 doesn't boot on my system.
[16:22] <danielwolff> dr_willis: any clue about the problem with the HP all-in-one with no display output?

[16:24] <dmb_> hi ubuntu, yeah... its time we had a chat
[16:24] <dmb_> I think we both know what this is about
[16:24] <Guest23246> haha
[16:24] <xangua> deej1976: so you sugest to people to use a repository that can breack their desktops a lot ¿
[16:24] <Guest23246> hello friends
[16:24] <dmb_> we've had some good times, but I, we both know, we've drifted apart over the years
[16:24] <deej1976> If it's not in a repo then your compiling it yourself
[16:24] <xangua> !ot | dmb_ Guest23246
[16:25] <dmb_> we've got different objectives now, different ideas about what's right
[16:25] <erase> tks deej1976
[16:25] <dmb_> so, I guess I'm saying, this is it for us
[16:25] <dmb_> I'm going to go back to Fedora
[16:25] <deej1976> erase: and your still in chance of breaking your system
[16:25] <theadmin> dmb_: Go right ahead, but don't expect it to be much better.
[16:25] <denny> how can I set the window auto-raise delay for focus-follows-mouse in 11.10 gnome fallback? (or whatever the non-unity, non-gnome-shell UI is called)
[16:25] <dmb_> theadmin: please don't say things like that
[16:26] <dmb_> fedora respects me!
[16:26] <xangua> dmb_: and please stick to topic
[16:26] <infinite> Hi Folks:
[16:26] <dmb_> xangua: if you say so
[16:26] <theadmin> dmb_: I mean, seriously, anything with gnome3 would be meh... Altough, Fedora allows for different UIs
[16:26] <deej1976> erase: possible better: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/11/install-vanilla-gnome-3-in-maverick/
[16:26] <dmb_> theres so much broken here... to stick to teh topic, how can I go back to 10.04?
[16:26] <Trentor> is there a good secure dod 5220 erase tool for ubuntu 11.04
[16:27] <dmb_> theadmin: sorry for asking again, but what wm do you run again? gnome-shell?
[16:27] <Trentor> and a way to auto-integrate it into the trash function
[16:27] <denny> dmb_: back up your data and reinstall, is the most obvious approach I guess.
[16:27] <theadmin> dmb_: Me? XFCE4 + xfwm4
[16:27] <denny> I was considering it myself
[16:27] <dmb_> denny: yeah, I'm not good with backup is all
[16:27] <dmb_> theadmin: and your happy with the available pannel apps?
[16:27] <dmb_> this must be xfce-goodies that has broken things just now...
[16:27] <theadmin> dmb_: Totally so, it's compatible with gnome applets...
[16:27] <denny> well, just copy /home/dmb onto some spare disk space or a DVD or whatever
[16:28] <dmb_> I'm getting cpu churn, and all my wms are 'broken#
[16:28] <theadmin> dmb_: So, well.
[16:28] <denny> you'll have to reconfig some apps, but that's relatively doable
[16:28] <dmb_> denny: sure
[16:28] <Trentor> dod 5220 secure erase tool anyone?
[16:28] <deej1976> erase: No repo version for 10.10 http://www.wiredrevolution.com/ubuntu/install-gnome-shell-in-ubuntu-10-10-maverick

[16:38] <hrolf>  Does anyone else have problems with browsing folders in the default explorer (Nautilius.) The issues are that sometimes (mostly) when I type a folder name and then hit enter and now I'm inside another folder but the same typed text still appears in the little textbox.
[16:39] <hrolf> It's like I type "Docu" for getting into the Documents folder and then I type "Eboo" to get into my Ebooks folder, but the previous buffer "Docu" is still there, so it becomes "DocuEboo"
[16:40] <Loptr> in ubuntu 11.10 can i change the taskbar player from banshee to deadbeef?
[16:40] <gaurav_tablet> headfones is not working in my ubuntu
[16:40] <Spartakus> hrolf, well, I always use the simple mode(I do not know its exact name) when using Nautilus. Never using the full blown mode
[16:40] <adrellias> deadbeef ?
[16:40] <Loptr> It's other audio player
[16:40] <adrellias> wth is deadbeef ?
[16:41] <adrellias> ahhh
[16:41] <Loptr> it has more options for high quality sound cards and i want it to work from my taskbar
[16:41] <Loptr> in the place of banshee
[16:42] <Loptr> I made it the default audio application and restarted x but it doesn't seem to work
[16:42] <hrolf> Spartakus: I think it is a bug (because that would a really absurd feature) when I type something and press Esc it should discard anything typed. But that isn't the case because after pressing Esc the textbox disappears but if you type something again the buffer is still there.
[16:42] <gaurav_tablet> my headfone is not working in ubuntu

[16:53] <mike_cucumber> dr_willis: what do you wanna know?
[16:53] <pipegeek> Is there any way to get the global menu to only apply to maximized windows?  Having it apply to the whole slew of small windows (terminals, chat window, contact list) I have open is confusing
[16:54] <bluesky> Can anyone suggest some thing?
[16:54] <dr_willis> mike_cucumber:  if the driver is not working right - the settings tool will say so.
[16:54] <Spartakus> viliny, I have upgrade my kernel twice and it broke my sound twice too :D
[16:54] <mike_cucumber> dr_willis: Driver version is 280.13
[16:54] <dr_willis> mike_cucumber:  so it also seems to imply that 3d is working.
[16:54] <mike_cucumber> dr_willis: yeah, it all seems to be saying everything is ok
[16:54] <viliny> calamity, partition your linux drive into 2 separate partitions, make sure the one you are making for windows is large enough to accomodate the installation and then use disk ghosting software to copy over the other HD into that partition you just made for windows
[16:54] <niranjan> xangua: that helped - now at least I know which application I am switching to when I do alt-tab
[16:54] <viliny> Spartakus, did you use server?
[16:55] <Spartakus> viliny, no, I use lucid lynx desktop in laptop
[16:55] <calamity> viliny, fair enough. and to actually create this second partition, I assume I"ll most likely need a live cd?
[16:55] <mike_cucumber> dr_willis: is there any way I can prove whether or not 3d acceleration is working?
[16:55] <B0g4r7_> What would I look to if I want to create a virtual network interface (that shows in the ifconfig list), that I can connect with my userspace program to be able to receive and transmit packets?
[16:55] <viliny> calamity, i'd use gparted on a livecd yes
[16:55] <mike_cucumber> dr_willis: something like the equivalent of dxdiag?
[16:55] <Spartakus> viliny, but the website is worth to check
[16:55] <calamity> viliny, cool, I'll see you kids in a bit then!
[16:55] <dr_willis> mike_cucumber:  run a 3d game. check glxgears output..
[16:55] <viliny> calamity, you can throw a live cd on a usb stick as well if you are low on cd's
[16:55] <donavan01> is there a way to use multiple USB webcam on the same computer at the same time
[16:56] <viliny> ask me how
[16:56] <dr_willis> donavan01:  each one would have its own /dev/video# device
[16:56] <viliny> Spartakus, yes yes! im reading it now :)
[16:56] <mike_cucumber> dr_willis: if i run supertuxcart, i get about 1 frame per 10 seconds
[16:56]  * dr_willis is off to bed. night all.
[16:57] <bluesky> On my new Ubuntu 11.10 install on Toshiba Satellite P-25 model, the desktop never appears upon logging in, All I have is a white screen.
[16:57] <denny> bluesky: it's minimalist  ;)
[16:57] <denny> or broken, one of the two.
[16:57] <donavan01> dr_willis so basically I could use say 4 webcams with some software as video survalence?
[16:57] <B0g4r7_> For instance, if I wanted to write my own vpn software...
[16:58] <viliny> calamity, unfortunately im not a masochist, so i don't have any hard-to-use programs that require a degree in nasa toilet cleaning to use. All i can point you to is this easy as *¤%" program that i used myself: http://www.easeus.com/disk-copy/
[16:58] <viliny> works well and was easy
[16:58] <B0g4r7_> donavan01, have you looked at zoneminder?
[16:58] <bluesky> Where can I download the latest Ubuntu?
[16:58] <donavan01> B0g4r7_ no I havent
[16:59] <CrusaderAD> bluesky: ubuntu.com
[16:59] <viliny> Bluesky have you tried ubuntu.com ?
[16:59] <B0g4r7_> donavan01, I'd recommend checking it out.  It's mad eot do what you are describing.
[16:59] <B0g4r7_> "made to do"
[16:59] <bluesky> I cannot choose a download manager or wget with ubuntu.com,
[17:00] <donavan01> What I would like to do is setup a few old laptops in various places around the house with 2 more more webcam attached and have them stream/dump/ftp to server located in a secure location in my home

[17:01] <viliny> can anyone tell me why my sound isn't working if i give you my alsa info report? :http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=583e191a54db7036bf9ddc305c2bf6073003ce30

[17:06] <azriel> I need help finding my python.h file, i don't know how or where to look and google is giving me no answers
[17:07] <him> hello can any one tell me why i have to re-plug modem to connect net after one time disconnecting it?
[17:07] <viliny> still no sound :(
[17:07] <azriel> viliny: what's wrong?
[17:07] <auronandace> azriel: perhaps those in #python can help
[17:08] <viliny> azriel, everything seems fine according to troubleshooting steps but i just can't get sound to work
[17:08] <azriel> auronandace: no those guys are a bunc of jerks, i need to know how to find a specific file on my computer, thats a GNU/Linux problem
[17:08] <yuka> guys how do i set permissions for /var/www so i can upload files to that folder using winscp. I set chown -R user:user /var/www, and i login to ftp with my owner username, still gives me permission denied on copying files
[17:08] <viliny> azriel, using 11.10 server - heres my alsa report: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=583e191a54db7036bf9ddc305c2bf6073003ce30

[17:09] <mathgirl> Hello.  After upgrading to Oneiric, I can't get X anymore.  I just get the Ubuntu... startup screen.  I've tried switching to gdm, but that didn't work.  What should I do? :(
[17:09] <mathgirl> I was in here about an hour ago and some people were helping me.
[17:10] <mathgirl> I got as far as apt-getting nvidia-common and running a configuration script.
[17:10] <muneeb> how can I use Ubuntu Mono in xterm? rather what should I edit in ~/.Xdefaults ?
[17:10] <thebishop> is there a way to check/re-download modified files using apt?
[17:11] <azriel> monlith: thanks
[17:11] <max14> hi all
[17:11] <mathgirl> I also added something like noprobe to grub but that didn't work.
[17:11] <viliny> azriel, anything you can help me with?
[17:11] <mathgirl> I'm able to ssh into the machine, so I can provide any information about it that would be useful.
[17:11] <Spartakus> mathgirl, startx
[17:11] <azriel> viliny: well the first problem i see is you're using ubuntu 11.10 (joke), on a more serious note are you using out of the box version or did you modify anything
[17:11] <mathgirl> Spartakus,
[17:11] <Spartakus> I have the same problem, but, I switch into other terminal, and type startx
[17:11] <viliny> azriel, should be pretty much out of the box
[17:11] <Spartakus> it will start X and gnome
[17:11] <him> :(
[17:12] <methods> is it not possible to login to the old school desktop anymore ?
[17:12] <mathgirl> Spartakus, it's actually frozen at the ubuntu..... startup screen.  I can't switch to another terminal via Ctrl-Alt F3
[17:12] <mathgirl> I can run it from the ssh terminal
[17:12] <Spartakus> mathgirl, oh, i see, then it is a different problem with mine
[17:12] <mathgirl> Spartakus: X: user not authorized to run the X server, aborting.
[17:12] <mathgirl> xinit: giving up
[17:13] <viliny> mathgirl, that sounds like a problem
[17:13] <mathgirl> viliny: Which kind of problem?
[17:13] <mathgirl> The people helping me an hour ago seemed to think it was about my video card.
[17:13] <Spartakus> mathgirl, I am sorry, I can not help you, because I am also a Linux beginner user :D
[17:13] <viliny> mathgirl, well the if you aren't allowed to run the x server... but that aside, i don't think i know how to help you there
[17:13] <azriel> viliny: I'm sorry, i was hoping it was a installation problem, i have those al the time, but your alsa says that's not the problem
[17:13] <mathgirl> Spartakus, that's okay.
[17:14] <mathgirl> Everything was fine before I upgraded to oneiric.
[17:14] <azriel> now see never uprade
[17:14] <mathgirl> I started at Lucid, then upgraded to Meerkat no problme.
[17:14] <viliny> azriel, yeah im peewed, everything seems fine but either theres no sound or i've gone deaf
[17:14] <mathgirl> Then I upgraded to Natty no problem.
[17:14] <viliny> the first one being more likely
[17:14] <azriel> always download the new version back up everything and re install
[17:14] <mathgirl> But when i went from Natty to Oneiric I got this problem.
[17:14] <Spartakus> azriel, I also stay on Lucid, never upgrade :D
[17:14] <Spartakus> I mean distribution upgrade
[17:15] <thebishop> in-place upgrading from maverick to natty leaves you with the old Grub, right?
[17:15] <mathgirl> If I wanted that much bother, I'd be using Debian.  I thought this was Linux for humans.
[17:15] <azriel> spartikus: *high five*
[17:15] <mathgirl> thebishop: is that true?
[17:15] <thebishop> might be worth doing a re-format from pre-unity version
[17:15] <thebishop> mathgirl, thought so
[17:15] <azriel> mathgirl: linux for humans is like saying free money, it never works in the end
[17:15] <auronandace> thebishop: i don't think so, i think karmic was the last to use grub legacy
[17:15] <mathgirl> thebishop, so it might be a grub problem?
[17:15] <azriel> the huma aspect is the effort you have to put into it
[17:15] <auronandace> !grub1 | thebishop
[17:16] <vishwas> how to use microphone in ubuntu 10.04
[17:16] <thebishop> mathgirl, i didn't see your original post but if you can ssh, it's probably not a grub issue
[17:17] <mathgirl> thebishop, that's what makes it so mysterious.
[17:17] <anuz> problem with installing android sdk in ubuntu 11.10 for development
[17:17] <mathgirl> The machine's screen is frozen at ubuntu..... but I can ssh and do anything I want.
[17:17] <mathgirl> would something from dmesg help?
[17:17] <thebishop> mathgirl, if you can ssh, you might try changing the runlevel so you can at least log into console locally
[17:18] <bobweaver> Hi there I have a live cd from UBUNTU I also9 have ones that I have burned. on the one that I have from ubuntu I installed because I got a busybox on that last partition. afer install I started to upgrade and as soon as I hit sudo apt-get upgrde  my mouse will not work on that partition at all anymore. I can get to the terminl and all the hot keys work. it is just the mouse that will not work. I alsoknow that the mouse is good because I am using
[17:18] <bobweaver> it right not  on a different partition that is also ubuntu. Any suggestions ?
[17:18] <Spartakus> vishwas, I am using Lucid too, but it seems that microphone works just fine because in the sound preferences, when I am talking something, the input level follow my voice
[17:18] <azriel> seriously mathgirl just back everything up and reinstall the new version, upgrading comes with ALOT of problems
[17:18] <mathgirl> I can login to the console locally by starting in recovery mode.  Is that any different?
[17:18] <urlin2u> bobweaver, is it a p2p mouse
[17:18] <bobweaver> dmesg also sees mouse
[17:18] <bobweaver> urlin2u: nope interneal pad
[17:18] <sysadamin> backup and re install? ugh.
[17:19] <neurochrome> hi all, can anyone tell me if this is normal... when I change things in gnome-shell, (say, install a shell-extension), I have to logout and back in again for it to take effect.  even alt+f2 'r' doesn't show the newly install extension in tweak tool
[17:19] <mathgirl> azriel, I can always perform a fresh install (with all the time and prep it takes).  I'm trying to see if that can be avoided.
[17:19] <bobweaver> I find it funny that the cd is from ubuntu and mine work great :>)
[17:19] <mathgirl> Especially considering everything works except X.
[17:19] <neurochrome> I shouldn't have to logout to see most UI changes take effect
[17:19] <neurochrome> I shouldn't have to logout to install an extension
[17:20] <Spartakus> vishwas, Ah, yes, I have just recorded my singing in 10.04, and it works good :D
[17:20] <neurochrome> this is a step backwards IMO
[17:20] <k_89> anyone has any idea about this : http://scrp.at/aGr ... its not completely a php thing .. sessions stopped working after my laptop crashed and i backed up its hard-disk in another PC, and then when things were fine, i put it back in
[17:21] <jakubo> hi, there
[17:21] <jakubo> im still having trouble resetting sound to its former loudness.
[17:21] <jakubo> is there a way to do it without alsamixer? (and without reinstallation?)
[17:21] <urlin2u> neurochrome, its as if you think we care anything of your opinion or that canonical does as well
[17:21] <mathgirl> thebishop, should I really change the runlevel, or is logging in via recovery mode the same?
[17:21] <bobweaver> I love ubuntu 11.10 !! It is awesome and seems to work great but the mouse ... on the other hand ...\
[17:21] <szal> mathgirl: did you pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log already (or have a look in it yourself)?
[17:21] <thebishop> mathgirl, if you can log in via recovery, do that
[17:21] <mathgirl> szal, I only do as I'm told.
[17:21] <mathgirl> I'll paste it now.
[17:21] <anuz> hi there, has anyone installed android sdk in ununtu 11.10
[17:21] <bobweaver> I am going to try and log into that partition and see if I can get it going

[17:22] <bobweaver> !busybox
[17:22] <neurochrome> urlin2u, wow, very friendly of you
[17:22] <k_89> any php guy here ??
[17:22] <szal> mathgirl: well, when searching for X-related errors this is about the 1st place to look :)
[17:22] <urlin2u> neurochrome, seems appropriate it is the truth.
[17:22] <k_89> anyone has any idea about this : http://scrp.at/aGr ... its not completely a php thing .. sessions stopped working after my laptop crashed and i backed up its hard-disk in another PC, and then when things were fine, i put it back in

[17:23] <yuka> anybody help pls
[17:23] <urlin2u> neurochrome, depends on what your doing your problem has outliers of 1000's of apps

[17:25] <Spartakus> bobweaver, it is a window manager
[17:25] <matrix3000> after upgrading from 11.04 to 11.10
[17:25] <k_89> yuka, can you do post this at scrp.at .. ls -al /var/ | grep www
[17:25] <augustl> is there a way to disable the built-in messaging etc in 11.10? I wanna use pidgin ;)
[17:25] <matrix3000> i no longer have a network interface
[17:25] <Spartakus> bobweaver, just like metacity or window maker
[17:25] <szal> mathgirl: one of your previous pastes seemed to suggest that you have packages to update; I'd suggest you run 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade'
[17:25] <bobweaver> Spartakus:  it is used for only certain sitiuations ?
[17:25] <greenfest> а где русские? О_о
[17:25] <greenfest> :DD
[17:25] <kamiccolo> ubuntu-ru ?
[17:25] <bobweaver> what are paramiters to that sitiuation ?
[17:26] <k_89> there are too many people here
[17:26] <Spartakus> bobweaver, no, basically no. There are many people out there love the simplicity of using window manager alone
[17:26] <yuka> k_89 it shows my username as owner with full permissions
[17:26] <donavan01> if I get a webcam and it works in linux is it a safe bet that it is a V4L camera
[17:26] <Spartakus> bobweaver, they want to avoid the full blown desktop environment, such as GNOME and KDE
[17:26] <bobweaver> Spartakus: thanks
[17:26] <mang0> How do I open a nautilus as root?
[17:26] <mathgirl> szal: Hmm.  I thought that wasn't previously the case.  But it looks true now.  I've just upgraded.
[17:26] <bobweaver> Spartakus:  how to make it so it will not happen anymore to me ??
[17:26] <Spartakus> bobweaver, if you want  a simple GUI, you can choose window manager instead of a full blown desktop environment
[17:26] <Polah> mang0, gksudo nautilus

[17:29] <szal> mathgirl: k, that's not likely to do anything about your situation..

[17:30] <Spartakus> bobweaver, I am sorry
[17:31] <scarleo> julian__: Just launch Screenshot, press win key and search for it
[17:31] <atannus> Hi. Can anyone tell me why apache for ubuntu reloads after rotating logs?
[17:31] <tensorpudding> julian__, hit print screen, it will take a screenshot and open the program allowing you to save it, or do processing on it
[17:32] <mathgirl> Lots of things about tainting the kernel and hda_intel Disable MSI for Nvidia chipset.
[17:32] <mathgirl> Should I pastebin it?
[17:32] <tensorpudding> julian__, what else do you mean by "capture screen" except taking pictures of it?
[17:32] <mathgirl> szal: Sorry, I forgot to prefix your name to what I just said.
[17:33] <szal> mathgirl: hmmm..  does that machine have a built-in gfx module (perhaps Intel)?
[17:33] <mathgirl> bobweaver, I believe busybox is a tiny unix distribution in one big binary.  I think it's what you drop into when nothing on your machine works.\

[17:40] <viliny> right, now i installed realteks drivers for my sound card and don't have any installed card after that

[17:43] <matrix3000> http://askubuntu.com/questions/73431/when-ubuntu-server-restarts-eth0-doesnt-come-back-up/74865#74865
[17:44] <Spartakus> matrix3000, many other people say that 10.04 is much more stable ;))
[17:44] <matrix3000> that issue persists is there a bug made in the database for that
[17:44] <matrix3000> 10.04 is
[17:44] <matrix3000> but i use LTSP and in that case 11.04 has fixes for ltsp
[17:44] <matrix3000> lol
[17:44] <bobweaver> 11.10 is new of cource there is going to be bugs on the bleeding edge
[17:44] <matrix3000> but with it not loading network interfaces
[17:44] <bobweaver> pangolina looks awesome
[17:44] <matrix3000> that even the cd and 11.04 loads
[17:45] <bobweaver> matrix3000: what is mod ?
[17:45] <matrix3000> like my network interface went up and disappeared
[17:45] <bobweaver> for eth0 ?
[17:45] <matrix3000> it's an HP Proliant Server
[17:45] <bobweaver> matrix3000: you are at server ?
[17:46] <bobweaver> right now ?
[17:46] <bobweaver> matrix3000: can we see a lspci -nn | grepp Ethernet
[17:46] <bobweaver> matrix3000: can we see a lspci -nn | grep Ethernet
[17:47] <bobweaver> if you get nothing try        lspci -nn | grep network
[17:47] <bobweaver> or lspci -nn | grep controllor
[17:48] <matrix3000> yea, give me a few
[17:48] <bobweaver> matrix3000:  you might have to move the mod to /ect/moduals/        to make sure that it starts on boot
[17:48] <matrix3000> i have to use a phone to take a picture as it doesn't have network connectivity
[17:48] <bobweaver> that is ok
[17:48] <harsh343> I want to short my terminal name how it is possible my terminal name is harsh@harsh-3000-N100-Invalid-entry-length-0-DMI-table-is-broken-Stop:~$
[17:48] <bobweaver> matrix3000:  I will show you exsample of what we need to see
[17:48] <harsh343> ??
[17:49] <bobweaver> matrix3000:  like this lspci -nn | grep Ethernet
[17:49] <bobweaver> 00:0a.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: nVidia Corporation MCP77 Ethernet [10de:0760] (rev a2)
[17:49] <mathgirl> harsh343: Do you mean that's the name of your terminal window?
[17:49] <bobweaver> but all we really need is this part l [10de:0760]
[17:50] <harsh343> yes
[17:50] <mathgirl> Which terminal application are you using?
[17:50] <harsh343> harsh@harsh-3000-N100-Invalid-entry-length-0-DMI-table-is-broken-Stop:~$
[17:50] <harsh343> i donot now how it is so long or some error in terminal
[17:50] <harsh343> right now i install ubuntu 11.10
[17:51] <Spartakus> Oh God, 1 AM, it is time to sleep, bye all
[17:51] <harsh343> after that it appear like this
[17:51] <bobweaver> Spartakus:  cya
[17:51] <matrix3000> bobweaver: ok, i will get that now, just had to right down the server
[17:51] <matrix3000> right down the commands, to go to the server
[17:51] <matrix3000> it's in the other room
[17:51] <bobweaver> matrix3000:  cool
[17:51] <mathgirl> harsh343: The title of your terminal window is usually something you can set as a preference.  If you tell me which terminal application you're using, I can run it and see where the preference is.
[17:52] <mathgirl> harsh343: If you don't know which, I'll give you a command to find out.
[17:52] <jakubo> im still having trouble resetting sound to its former loudness.
[17:52] <jakubo> is there a way to do it without alsamixer? (and without reinstalling the system?)
[17:52] <harsh343> mathgirl, ok can u plz give me the command
[17:52] <evan_> I have a question about my asus n71jq. When i plug in headphones, my speakers on my laptop don't mute. Any ideas?
[17:52] <mathgirl> jakubo: aumix ?
[17:52] <mathgirl> ps aux |grep -i term
[17:53] <jakubo> mathgirl, is it a program? alsamixer doesnt work, i dount that one will
[17:53] <mathgirl> aumix is a program that sometimes works for me when alsamixer doesn't.
[17:54] <harsh343> mathgirl, see the result of this command http://pastebin.com/Qc81PVcw
[17:54] <bobweaver> jakubo:  what ubuntu ?
[17:55] <jakubo> ill try
[17:55] <mathgirl> jakubo: Even more gritty is amixer
[17:55] <jakubo> isnt amixer the same?
[17:55] <jaysern> just installed oneiric, not used to byobu ... screen is stuck. where can i find a cheatsheet for byobu?
[17:55]  * bobweaver starts to cry
[17:56] <jakubo> it says it doenst find the device, bu i havent tried aumix yet
[17:56] <mathgirl> jaysern: sudo apt-get install screen
[17:56]  * bobweaver wipes tears
[17:56] <jakubo> the problem persisted from 11.04 at least
[17:56] <bobweaver> jakubo:  dmesg |less
[17:56] <bobweaver> jakubo: then
[17:56] <matrix3000> http://ubuntuone.com/6X6WYo5ckrFoKcW6kyY5qo
[17:57] <matrix3000> bobweaver: http://ubuntuone.com/6X6WYo5ckrFoKcW6kyY5qo
[17:57] <theadmin> mathgirl: tmux is much better than screen, I suggest you try that :D
[17:57] <jaysern> right now i can't exit out of the darn byobu screen that's stuck. ssh'ing back in with a new session connects me to the same stuck byobu screen
[17:57] <mathgirl> harsh343: In your terminal, you can go to Edit-> Profile Preferences Then choose the Title and Command tab.
[17:57] <bobweaver> jakubo: -sound
[17:57] <bobweaver> jakubo: sorry /sound
[17:57] <ghabit> What addons is installed by default for thunderbird?
[17:57] <dabicho> Hi. I am having problems with configuring an SD card and ethernet on a Dell XPS M1330. The main thing is lspci does not find them. I am at a loss, what can be happening?
[17:57] <matrix3000> ifconfig eth0 up does not bring the interface up
[17:58] <matrix3000> and i have checked /etc/network/interfaces
[17:58] <mathgirl> theadmin: Every time I've tried to get it going, I haven't gotten any advantages over screen which I've got a nice screenrc for.
[17:58] <matrix3000> and it is configured properly from installation
[17:58] <harsh343> mathgirl, command not found
[17:58] <bobweaver> matrix3000:  ohh  broadcom
[17:58] <daniel_tree> I am trying to share a folder on my other laptop ( linux mint ) and access it from this one (ubunut 10.10) and simply right click on that folder and share to others doesnt seem to work ...and also I dont see the other laptop on the network and vice versa.. why could that be happening ?
[17:58] <theadmin> mathgirl: Ah, makes sense then.
[17:58] <bobweaver> matrix3000: that was not the command that I asked for :>)
[17:58] <matrix3000> bobweaver: it was supported in 11.04
[17:59] <matrix3000> yes it was
[17:59] <bobweaver> matrix3000: lspci -nn | grep Etherent
[17:59] <mathgirl> harsh343: Can you click the Edit menu at the top of your terminal?
[17:59] <matrix3000> oh ooop
[17:59] <matrix3000> s
[17:59] <bobweaver> matrix3000:  listen close
[17:59] <matrix3000> ok one sec
[17:59] <matrix3000> forgot the -nn
[17:59] <matrix3000> will do that now
[17:59] <FloodBot1> matrix3000: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:59] <bobweaver> matrix3000: waiut

[18:00] <harsh343> ok
[18:00] <bobweaver> matrix3000:  all I need is the part that is  [10de:0760] (r
[18:00] <jakubo> mathgirl, aumix failed, still said that mixer device couldnt be found
[18:00] <bobweaver> matrix3000: might be [14e4.blahblah ]
[18:01] <mathgirl> jakubo: Sorry, that's my only trick!
[18:01] <jakubo> mathgirl, thx for trying
[18:02] <mathgirl> harsh343: Can you select "Profile Preferences" from that menu?
[18:02] <jakubo> some kind of reset to default (like lean install) would be nice...
[18:02] <harsh343> eys
[18:02] <harsh343> yes*

[18:03] <matrix3000> bobweaver: http://ubuntuone.com/4oKVA7FUWNJTwSBHwSTMBJ 14e4:164c
[18:03] <mathgirl> harsh343: Next to the "General" Tab is the "Title and Command" tab.
[18:04] <mathgirl> harsh343: Select that.
[18:04] <harsh343> I kept my initial title harsh
[18:04] <harsh343> but not change
[18:04] <mathgirl> So it just says "Initial title: harsh" ?
[18:04] <bobweaver> matrix3000: sweet good job
[18:04] <bobweaver> matrix3000:  brb
[18:05] <harsh343> not happens
[18:05] <matrix3000> bobweaver: ok sweet
[18:05] <harsh343> like this

[18:06] <bobweaver> matrix3000: uname -a    <- just need kerenl    also    lsb_realse -a  <- what is code name ?
[18:07] <mathgirl> harsh343: A lot of terminals change the title of the window to reflect output inside the terminal.  I'm suggesting you try to turn that off.
[18:07] <harsh343> where ?
[18:07] <mathgirl> For instance by changing "When terminal commands set their own..." to "Keep initial title"
[18:07] <matrix3000> give me a few
[18:08] <matrix3000> bobweaver: are you shure its lsb_realse -a or lsb_release -a
[18:08] <harsh343> from where i kept turn off ?????????
[18:09] <bobweaver> lsb_release -a
[18:09] <bobweaver> matrix3000:  ^&^

[18:13] <KrisDouglas> theadmin, since the update to the latest version of ubuntu (fresh install) the Xorg server seems to have turned into a serious RAM hog.
[18:13] <eHAPPY> Is it possible to write to a protected folder without giving it read/write access?

[18:14] <bobweaver> matrix3000:  have you looked at this ? http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/intrepid/man4/bce.4freebsd.html
[18:14] <eHAPPY> could i make folders inside that one and write to those?
[18:14] <riffautae> eHAPPY: you could change the owner of the file to you or alternativly the group to users and then only add write access to that
[18:15] <eHAPPY> ok and thats the only way?
[18:15] <eHAPPY> or the best way*
[18:15] <matrix3000> bobweaver, no i haven't sicne i never needed too before

[18:15] <bobweaver> is the driver under lsmod | grep bce        ?
[18:15] <bobweaver> matrix3000:  is the driver under lsmod | grep bce ?

[18:21] <bobweaver> give it a shot
[18:21] <bobweaver> either way
[18:21] <mathgirl> Also, it won't even listen to Ctrl-Alt-F3

[18:23] <reisio> him: what's the host, what's the guest
[18:23] <mathgirl> harsh343: It was theadmin who helped you.

[18:24] <Starminn> Using Ubuntu 11.10, whenever I start Banshee, I can use my multimedia keys; however when my system goes into power save, they will not work upon it waking up. Instead, this is shown when they are pressed: http://imagebin.org/182117
[18:24] <reisio> bobweaver: very responsible
[18:24] <riffautae> Starminn: do they work again after restarting banshee

[18:27] <user__> Does someone know what to do if PulseAudio doesn't want to capture microphone (ALSA does)? Bug appears after some of Ubuntu 11.10 updates
[18:27] <reisio> him: so you're saying your XP guest has no network connection?
[18:27] <mathgirl> But it's all written out to STDERR.  How do I pipe that to 'less' again?
[18:27] <reisio> him: did you alter the network prefs for the VM at all?
[18:27] <jayar> hmm... this 'creating a persistence file' usb install has been @ 79% for a looong time...
[18:27] <mathgirl> Or where is it logging to?
[18:27] <him> reisio:yes, no
[18:27] <theadmin> e75: Try searching for "Startup Apps" in Dash and removing it from there if it is there
[18:28] <reisio> him: well go in and make sure it's set to NAT and enabled, anyways
[18:28] <e75> theadmin: nope, not in there. i've killed all processes of it also

[18:31] <him> reisio: and what?
[18:31] <riffautae> Starminn: you could see if banshee has a log some place with information
[18:31] <reisio> him: and what do you want me to do with that information
[18:31] <Starminn> riffautae, Okay, thank you.
[18:32] <theadmin> mathgirl: grep "blacklist nvidia_current" /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf -- find that line, remove it.

[18:32] <him> reisio: i wana to say its the latest as i know till day, but buddy its not working.... not know what is happening?
[18:32] <mathgirl> theadmin: Maybe because that's what it took to get this mac to work back in Lucid?
[18:32] <theadmin> mathgirl: Prolly, who knows
[18:33] <bobweaver> reisio:  lol maybe I can find time for a shower also :>)
[18:33] <mathgirl> I'll try removing it.
[18:33] <reisio> bobweaver: also responsible

[18:34] <mang0> I may be wrong
[18:34] <rabbi1> print screen isn't working, what could be the prob? :(
[18:34] <albert> thx mang0, checking
[18:35] <theadmin> mang0: It does.
[18:35] <bobweaver> matrix3000:  here is what you have to do --> http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/oneiric/man4/bce.4freebsd.html
[18:35] <reisio> albert: graphical? :p
[18:35] <mang0> theadmin: Thanks for clarifying :)
[18:35] <bobweaver> matrix3000:  the tar is at the top of the page
[18:35] <mang0> albert: Yes, it does have an android version.
[18:35] <albert> reisio, pardon me?
[18:35] <albert> ye, currently at it, thanks
[18:35] <reisio> albert: a graphical remote desktop app
[18:35] <rabbi1> print screen isn't working, what could be the prob? :(
[18:36] <albert> reisio, yeah
[18:36] <riffautae> rabbi1: the button on the keyboard?
[18:36] <albert> reisio, teamviewer seems to be the right one, though
[18:36] <rabbi1> riffautae: yeap
[18:36] <Polah> mang0: Use find and exec, or find them sudo rm, or find and pipe the list of files to a file and then pipe it back in to rm or xargs or something
[18:37] <riffautae> run gnome-screenshot-panel in the terminal and see what happens
[18:37] <rabbi1> riffautae: not the key, but the application which takes screenshot of the desktop from print screen key
[18:38] <jesus_> helou
[18:38] <rabbi1> riffautae: "command not found"
[18:38] <bobweaver> import -window root ~/Desktop/`date +%Y%m%d%H%M`.png     <-- screenshot from terminal
[18:38] <bobweaver> saves shot in ~/Desktop
[18:39] <jesus_> hola
[18:39] <mathgirl> theadmin: The file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-local.conf contains only one line: blacklist nvidia_current
[18:39] <theadmin> mathgirl: You can either delete that file, or just remove the line
[18:39] <mathgirl> I'll comment it out and run nvidia-xconfig
[18:39] <mathgirl> Can I comment it out with #?
[18:39] <reisio> jesus_: shalom
[18:39] <bobweaver> matrix3000: Yes
[18:39] <bobweaver> dang it mathgirl Yes
[18:39] <neriko> Good afternoon, everyone. I'm attempting to create a startup disk of 11.10, and keep getting 'installation failed' error message. Any thoughts?
[18:40] <bobweaver> reisio:  lmao
[18:40] <riffautae> rabbi1: see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1867455
[18:40] <theadmin> mathgirl: Yeah, I think you can -- after that run the xconfig thingo and reboot
[18:40] <mathgirl> okay, I've run nvidia-xconfig and it says I've got a new xorg.conf
[18:40] <friskd> Hey all, i want to be able to either ssh or via an api (call to apache / ruby ) start a script a selenium script (which loads up firefox and performs actions) on a remote server.  I'm using rackspace for an ubuntu server, and would like to be able to vnc into that server and watch that server as requests are made to it. What would be a simple approach to doing something like this?
[18:40] <mathgirl> Shall I restart or just say startx?
[18:41] <bobweaver> mathgirl:  startx
[18:41] <scarleo> neriko: did you verify your md5sum?
[18:41] <japro> aw crap, can i change the name of the machine after the install somehow
[18:41] <theadmin> bobweaver: Will not work, the module ain't loaded -_-
[18:41] <japro> forgot to change that since i was chain installing stuff
[18:41] <theadmin> mathgirl: You should restart, or, well, you can also "sudo modprobe nvidia_current" and then startx
[18:41] <japro> now its called "System-Product-Name" :(
[18:41] <usza> hi guys, need some help :/ http://pastebin.com/L1Gd4QPc
[18:41] <bobweaver> theadmin:  ??? you are matrix3000?
[18:42]  * bobweaver is confused
[18:42] <theadmin> bobweaver: No, I'm just helping out :P
[18:42] <riffautae> friskd: ssh <host> <commands here> can run commands on the remote host
[18:42] <japro> nvm found it
[18:42] <friskd> riffautae:  so how do i setup something on the remote so that i can  "login" and watch what is happening.
[18:43] <Loptr> How can i change the default taskbar music control from Banshee to some other player?
[18:43] <bobweaver> theadmin:  look here is tar  http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/oneiric/man4/bce.4freebsd.html
[18:43] <mathgirl> !!!!!!
[18:43] <riffautae> friskd: vnc is prolly the only optio
[18:43] <bobweaver> mathgirl:  \0/   ???
[18:43] <riffautae> friskd: or x forwarding possibly
[18:43] <mathgirl> startx flashed a screen that said "NVidia" with a logo then stopped
[18:43] <neriko> scarleo: Yes, it's been verified
[18:43] <riffautae> friskd: but then if you close the ssh connection it will stop the test
[18:44] <mathgirl> I'll try properly restarting.
[18:44] <friskd> riffautae:  could it not just execute a command and then dissconnect?
[18:44] <friskd> letting the command run on its own.
[18:44] <bobweaver> mathgirl:  please let us see a lsmod when you get a chance :>)
[18:44] <mathgirl> bobweaver: Not quite, but it's progress.
[18:44] <albert> teamview is perfect, thanks very much
[18:44] <riffautae> friskd: ssh+vnc could, xforwarding no
[18:44] <mathgirl> Okay, I'll restart, try each way of getting in, then lsmod.
[18:44] <andi2342346> hi, i need helü to fix my ubuntu installation. i try to remove all fglrx stuff. apt-get purge fglrx* displays "E: Couldn't find package fglrx_8.902-0ubuntu1_i386.deb" ... i installed this package with dpkg -i , but it is not longer installed i think
[18:44] <friskd> riffautae:  do i have to install ubuntu desktop to use vnc (assuming i want to run firefox on the server)?
[18:45] <riffautae> friskd: you'll need X and a basic window manager
[18:45] <riffautae> friskd: ubuntu server can run x and this will prevent a heavy desktop enviro from being installed
[18:45] <matrix3000> bobweaver: sorry was tied up, and no the module did not load
[18:45] <wildbat> is there a way to set up the PATH so that. it will look for current directly when execute commands as $ babababa, instead of $ ./babababa ?
[18:46] <mathgirl> It started!
[18:46] <mathgirl> Everything's magically okay!
[18:46] <bobweaver> matrix3000:  http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/oneiric/man4/bce.4freebsd.html
[18:46] <matrix3000> bobweaver: the module was not found so it gave a fatal error
[18:46] <mathgirl> First I get the Ubuntu splash.
[18:46] <friskd> riffautae:  that is what i want. So i just need to figure out how to instal "X"?
[18:46] <mathgirl> Then a quick NVidia splash.
[18:46] <bobweaver> matrix3000:  read that page real good
[18:46] <mathgirl> Then a spinning wheel and gdm has started.
[18:46] <friskd> What is a basic window manager you recommend?
[18:46] <theadmin> mathgirl: Congratulations :) Glad you solved it!
[18:46] <theadmin> friskd: openbox
[18:46] <riffautae> friskd: if your remote system has plenty of power ubuntu desktop will be easier. other wise yes install X
[18:46] <bobweaver> matrix3000:  \0/
[18:46] <bobweaver> sorry
[18:47] <bobweaver> mathgirl:  \o/ ???
[18:47] <mathgirl> theadmin: You and others here solved it!
[18:47] <matrix3000> bobwever: were is loader.conf?
[18:47] <friskd> riffautae:  is it just called "X"
[18:47] <mathgirl> bobweaver: Yes, I believ so.  Though, let's see what happens when I try logging in.
[18:47] <riffautae> friskd: xfce is simular to gnome, but something like fluxbox or openbox will use less resources and only take a tiny learning

[18:47] <adriel_> q cuando entro a navegar en internet no me kiere cargar la pag despue de googles

[18:49] <omg_onoez> nope
[18:49] <matrix3000> bobweaver: what is teh name of the kernel configuration file?

[18:51] <bobweaver> !remastersys|one
[18:51] <omg_onoez> it behaves like some bug by my subjective experience
[18:51] <AbuMaia> When I try to enable the compiz wall, it does not activate until I run compiz --replace. However, when I do that, I get two different Unity bars on the left, one on top of the other. Does anyone have a fix?
[18:52] <matrix3000> bobweaver: will it be like this in the 12.04 release?
[18:52] <bobweaver> not sure matrix3000 I am not a ubuntu dev :>)
[18:52] <bobweaver> or kernel dev for that matter
[18:53] <palex> hi how are

[18:57] <bobweaver> !nounity
[18:57] <sm1> it's actually a bad idea to run X as root , might get you in some real trouble!
[18:58] <sm1> I apologize for such a comment.
[18:58] <tawtaw> eh why is the kernel so confusingly packaged? if i want to edit one file normally in sound/usb how can i find it ?
[18:59] <tawtaw> o_O ubuntu is _very_ different from my old distro
[18:59] <tawtaw> i am learning..
[18:59] <mang0> tawtaw: What was your old distro?
[18:59] <mang0> :)
[18:59] <tawtaw> mang0: slackware :D
[18:59] <bobweaver> lol
[19:00] <iceroot> sm1: x is of course running as root, but login with root into x is a bad idea
[19:00] <tawtaw> trying this out for my little cousin, he has a new midi device that is not getting detected, so i thought i would hack around in sound/usb
[19:01] <iceroot> tawtaw: not detected or no driver but detected?
[19:01] <bobweaver> tawtaw:  plug it in and lsusb
[19:01] <tawtaw> but i cannot find the files im looking for, ive not touched the kernel since 2.6.x
[19:02] <iceroot> tawtaw: you are sure you want to hack the kernel? you know what you are doing? and why?
[19:02] <bobweaver> tawtaw:  les see if the kerenel sees it unplug it then plug back int open termina and type in dmesg |tail
[19:02] <bobweaver> does it see it ?
[19:03] <tawtaw> :) so sweet you guys are worried i might screw up my kernel
[19:03] <tawtaw><EMAIL_ADDRESS><< i want to do something like this
[19:03] <iceroot> tawtaw: we are just worried that you dont know what you are doing
[19:03]  * bobweaver is not worried at all
[19:03]  * tawtaw hi5s bobweaver
[19:03] <bobweaver> if you are comming from slax
[19:03] <calamity> hey again
[19:04] <Myrtti> there just may not be any need to tamper the kernel
[19:04] <tawtaw> Myrtti: this would be interesting.
[19:04] <calamity> I transferred the windows partition onto the same drive as ubuntu, it appears in the bootloader but when it's selected, it goes to a black screen then back to the bootloader
[19:04] <tawtaw> ok so lsusb finds the device
[19:04] <tawtaw> but when i plug it in it does not
[19:04] <bobweaver> tawtaw:  ls stands for ls and usb wwell...
[19:04] <matrix3000> bobweaver, i really don't know how to install that module or anything, so i guess i will wait
[19:05] <bobweaver> put togeather and lsusb
[19:05] <twittard> Hello, I'm trying to install Nginx 1.0.8, via a PAA, and apt seems to be in a weird state.  It was unhappy about installing it and blew up midway, and now it keeps thinking that I have uninstalled packages.  I cannot now just uninstall the old nginx, because it keeps blowing up.  How do I get it out of this state?
[19:05] <matrix3000> ill prolly just put vmware ont that server then
[19:05] <bobweaver> list all usb connectuions
[19:05] <calamity> and for reference, I can mount and view all the files.
[19:05] <matrix3000> and run ubuntu in that
[19:05] <bobweaver> matrix3000:  I just redid my servers to debian alot more happy
[19:05] <tawtaw>       ** UNRECOGNIZED:  06 24 f1 02 01 01
[19:05] <tawtaw> this is basically what goes wrong
[19:06] <bobweaver> matrix3000:  ubuntu killed my bios on two of my servers
[19:06] <os_> hi
[19:06] <bobweaver> matrix3000:  I was supper .....
[19:06] <iceroot> bobweaver: the os is not changing anything in the bios
[19:06] <tawtaw> so point is, where can i find sound/usb ?
[19:06] <os_> how to install xen ?
[19:06] <iceroot> os_: install a xen-kernel
[19:06] <twittard> Hmmmm, I removed the PPA and now it let me remove nginx
[19:06] <twittard> what a pain in the ass
[19:06] <tawtaw> or do i need to go look through changelogs :)
[19:06] <bobweaver> iceroot:  easy for you to say you are over there
[19:07] <Sneggi> hi 2 all
[19:07] <robinson> me again. Day 5.. How can i reset default window sizes in 11.10? For example, if I try to save a file or document, the window that opens is damn near full screen and offset, so I have to move and resize it.
[19:07] <matrix3000> bobweaver: whats the different between debian and ubuntu?
[19:07] <bobweaver> matrix3000:  alot
[19:07] <bobweaver> what is server used for ?
[19:07] <theadmin> matrix3000: Everything, basically, the only SAME thing in them is that both support .deb packagews
[19:07] <iceroot> !debian | matrix3000
[19:07] <theadmin> packages*
[19:07] <bobweaver> webserver mail
[19:07] <matrix3000> bobweaver: its an ltsp server
[19:08] <matrix3000> bobweaver: so gnome is important
[19:08] <Sneggi> Sorry for my bad english. I just wanna know which version of ubuntu support my videocard. NVidia GF 7300LE.
[19:08] <bobweaver> Oo what ??
[19:08] <tawtaw> matrix3000: they are two different distros, once upon a time ubuntu was born out of the debian code, but that was a long time ago, its like monkeys and great apes
[19:08] <matrix3000> bobweaver: for our users anyways....they will hate change
[19:08] <iceroot> Sneggi: i would guess all versions
[19:09] <Sneggi> iceroot: 10.10 not working. Just black screen when loading

[19:09] <theadmin> Guest24885: mkv is a container, it can be anything to be honest...
[19:09] <iceroot> os_: to use xen, install a xen-kernel
[19:09] <iceroot> !xen | os_

[19:11] <robinson> anyone know how to reset window sizes in 11.10? Save dialogs are opening way too big on my desktop, and I cant seem to fix it permanently by resizing.
[19:11] <michael1> are there wigets for 11.10
[19:12] <Guest24885> I already have the the Ubuntu-restricted extras package but when I play it tells me:
[19:12] <Guest24885> "number of reference frames exceeds max (probably corrupt input), discarding one"
[19:12] <nDuff> michael1, what kind of widgets are you referring to? In the traditional sense of the word, even things like menu bars and buttons within your applications are widgets
[19:12] <tawtaw> so could anybody point me out to the surces?
[19:12] <tawtaw> *sources
[19:12] <ActionParsnip> robinson: if you hold shift+ctrl then click X to close is it remembered?
[19:12] <iceroot> tawtaw: for?
[19:12] <Guest24885> Does this mean I just need to change the setting or something?
[19:13] <robinson> ActionParsnip: let me try that now, and THANK YOU for answering. Been asking the same question for days. Youre the first to answer
[19:13] <michael1> What i ment sorry is like what you see on Visa dare I mention it here lol
[19:13] <tawtaw> iceroot: kernel, /usr/src/linux-source-3.0.0/ does not look like normal :)
[19:13] <AbuMaia> What is the default window decorator for Oneiric after doing an update instead of a fresh-install?
[19:13] <iceroot> tawtaw: connect to oftc and join #kernelnewbies which is the official kernel-channel
[19:13] <ActionParsnip> Robinson: np. I seem to remember it doing it but not 100% sure
[19:13] <robinson> ActionParsnip: negative, problem persists.
[19:14] <tawtaw> iceroot: do they support questions about how ubuntu packages the kernel ???
[19:14] <ActionParsnip> AbuMaia: with 3D accelerated graphics it will be co
[19:14] <robinson> ActionParsnip: It seems be primarily on save dialogs. If I issue a key command to open Nautilus, it opens to a normal size
[19:14] <AbuMaia> Rather, how do I get Oneiric Unity to use the Compiz settings by default?
[19:15] <ActionParsnip> AbuMaia: compiz or unity. Without will be
[19:15] <os__> iceroot, is there any binary package for xen?
[19:15] <ActionParsnip> AbuMaia: metacity
[19:15] <tawtaw> thanks anyways
[19:15] <tawtaw> iceroot: nevermind ill sort it out
[19:15] <robinson> ActionParsnip: to give you an idea   http://img7.imagebanana.com/img/lxqqto2o/Workspace1_004.png
[19:16] <robinson> ActionParsnip: you see how large the window is, and how the lower right is cut off. I have to move and resize just to see the save button
[19:16] <AbuMaia> Unity is not using the Compiz settings. If I try to force compiz settings with compiz --replace or unity --replace, I get two Unity launcher bars, one on top of the other
[19:16] <robinson> ActionParsnip: this is on a 24" monitor...
[19:16] <iceroot> os__: yes, the kernel-package
[19:16] <iceroot> os__: read the link?
[19:16] <iceroot> os__: there is a howoto for using xen with ubuntu as dom0 and domu
