[12:28] <dr_willis> yoga:  the webupd8 blog and askubuntu.com sites have dozens of unity tweaks and tips.
[12:28] <cypha> llutz_, I currently have https://gist.github.com/5634bbbdd8af944919c9
[12:29] <chemtail> I've already done a painstaking manual 'mkfs.ext4 -c -c' on a partition that took over six hours to complete.  Now installing with alternate CD in ncurses mode.  How can I be sure the installer doesn't try and re-format the ext4 filesystem, putting the badblock check to waste?
[12:29] <dr_willis> stephni:  winff, ffmpeg, mencoder, arista, or other apps...
[12:29] <cypha> do I just add another entry for <IP_ADDRESS>   asdf.zapto.org
[12:29] <dr_willis> stephni:  i seem to recall doing that in winff ages ago.
[12:29] <dr_willis> but i have a better phone now. :)
[12:30] <stephni> ok lem try
[12:30] <digz> dr_willis: nothing happens.
[12:30] <dr_willis> digz:  clarify what you did exactly...
[12:30] <Stanley00> chemtail: there an option to do that, when you select the partition
[12:30] <llutz_> cypha: no www here, sry. what do you want to achieve?
[12:31] <cypha> I just registered a free domain, and I'd like for it to point to my local server I'm running
[12:31] <digz> dr_willis: alt+f2 -> typed 'xev' -> clicked 'xev' -> small window comes up, white with a black square -> try clicking all around the window -> nothing
[12:31] <stephni> is it in software center
[12:31] <cypha> local server is running at http://<IP_ADDRESS>:8000
[12:31] <dr_willis> digz: dont use alt-f2 open a terminal and runit
[12:32] <digz> dr_willis: okay, doing now.
[12:32] <dr_willis> digz:  it prints a lot of info to the terminal.. thats whats to look at.
[12:32] <chemtail> Stanley00: Yeah.  Problem is, I didn't find the option in the text installer.  And when last I did the partition setup, it even wanted to format the usb drive I was booting the installer off..
[12:32] <chemtail> So that kinda made me stop and think and stop.
[12:32] <llutz_> cypha: install "noip2" to keep your IP actual. do you use a router? then you'll need portforwarding pointing to your machine:8000
[12:33] <cypha> I've already forwarded
[12:33] <cypha> I can access my server externally
[12:33] <cypha> using my external IP address
[12:33] <cypha> all forwarding for port 8000 has been done
[12:33] <digz> dr_willis: yeah i get a lot of data
[12:33] <digz> through mouse movement and clicking.
[12:33] <Stanley00> chemtail: It's strange, it was there, when I install my ubuntu...
[12:34] <dr_willis> digz:  you see mouse/up/down items whenyou click the left mouse button?
[12:34] <chemtail> Stanley00: commandline/ncurses installer?
[12:34] <llutz_> cypha: ok, then add "<IP_ADDRESS>   asdf.zapto.org" to /etc/hosts
[12:34] <Stanley00> chemtail: yes, alternate CD
[12:34] <cypha> llutz_, even though I have another <IP_ADDRESS> entry?
[12:34] <llutz_> cypha: you can have as many as you want
[12:34] <cypha> ah ok
[12:34] <digz> dr_willis: shall i paste bin you what I get?
[12:35] <dr_willis> digz:  not really :) there just should be some changes if you have the pointer in the window. not moving and you click the buttons
[12:35] <dr_willis> digz:  that would show the mouse IS working
[12:35] <dr_willis> button press and button release events. with a # showing the button
[12:36] <elgreco> hi ubuntu pals
[12:36] <Stanley00> chemtail: when choose a partition, the first line show which FS, and after you choose the FS, the second line is whether format it or not.
[12:36] <elgreco> I would like to ask something about VPN PPTP
[12:36] <dr_willis> digz:  this looks a little neater as a test...     xev | grep Button
[12:36] <digz> dr_willis: yeah, it responds when i click and release.
[12:36] <dr_willis> digz:  then when you press the buttons inthe window. you  should see press/remease for each click
[12:37] <dr_willis> digz:  so its working for both buttons?
[12:37] <llutz_> grr, we need a new cron. Lots of code needed just to run a job "every 3rd tuesday of a month". Does anybody have a simple workaround?
[12:37] <alecat> in a dual screen configuration, is it possible to have only one top bar instead of twice the same ?
[12:37] <elgreco> is there a way to make a PPTP connection using smart-card or certificate ?
[12:37] <alecat> in gnome
[12:37] <alecat> with unity
[12:37] <digz> dr_willis: it seems to be, yes.
[12:37] <tomodachi> alecat: yes
[12:37] <dr_willis> alecat:  multi monitor setup is  very rough right now sadly.. its planed on getting some loving in the next release i hear.
[12:38] <dr_willis> digz:  so mecahnically the mouse seems to be working.. how about your touch pad? click its buttons and see
[12:38] <tomodachi> llutz_: just use make a cronjob, its a bit unintitive at first but once you get the hang of it you will be fine
[12:38] <digz> dr_willis: doing now
[12:38] <alecat> tomodachi, any clue/link on how to achieve this ?
[12:38] <tomodachi> alecat: what gfx card are you using?
[12:38] <llutz_> tomodachi: cron cannot handle "every 3rd tuesday"
[12:38] <elgreco> @ ALL is there a way to make a PPTP connection using smart-card or certificate ?
[12:39] <alecat> tomodachi, an ati (don't know which serie :( )
[12:39] <llutz_> tomodachi: cron is very intuitive, but very limited too
[12:39] <cypha> llutz_, do I add the port to it?
[12:39] <dr_willis> digz:  as a amuseing work around, no right clicking.. you can run   mousetweaks  -c --dwell --ssc
[12:39] <cypha> to /etc/hosts that is
[12:39] <tomodachi> llutz_: just make a counter within your script and make it run every tuesday then.
[12:39] <llutz_> cypha: /etc/hosts holds hosts/ips not ports
[12:39] <llutz_> tomodachi: ugly
[12:39] <dr_willis> digz:  then click on the 'secondary click' item, and a mouse move/dwell will then do a right click. :) its a feature for disabed people
[12:39] <chemtail> Stanley00: my bad.  I gutsed going further with the setup again and found the option to "keep data" this time.  Thanks, though, I was too worried about spending another 6.5 hours to even go there :p
[12:39] <tomodachi> alecat: well nvidia has their own "twinview" feature that easily enables this. I imagine that ati has the same.
[12:40] <tomodachi> llutz_: well then just count the amount of hours that is every third tuesday and use this instead then
[12:40] <_spt_>  /msg NickServ identify barker18
[12:40] <alecat> tomodachi, i don't have proprietary drivers enabled. is suppose i must do it
[12:40] <Stanley00> _spt_: ooops!
[12:40] <ubuntuwoes> hi all ..new to ubuntu ... have been trying to install it for days now ... with no success ... 64 bit win 7 and 64 bit ubuntu ... dual boot ... no luck in getting ubuntu to recognize partitions on the drive.  can someone help
[12:41] <dr_willis> Heh.. always msg the services from the server window..
[12:41] <cypha> llutz_, how do I direct it to the correct port then?
[12:41] <llutz_> tomodachi: as i said, there are lots of bloated scripts for that, i just was looking for something more simple
[12:41] <cypha> cuz my port is only listening on 8000
[12:41] <tomodachi> alecat:  that will help . Another way is configuring a spearate x server for each output. Then you can just configure that other x server not to have the bar
[12:41] <llutz_> cypha: portforwarding
[12:41] <cypha> forward 80 to 8000?
[12:41] <alecat> tomodachi, 2 x servers ! it sounds tricky to me :)
[12:41] <digz> dr_willis: OH CRAP
[12:41] <llutz_> cypha: for example, yes
[12:41] <digz> dr_willis: i think we have a breakthrough of some kind.
[12:42] <digz> dr_willis: trackpad right click responds, but left click doesn't.
[12:42] <smiii>  Hi all! I know this is a bit cheeky but I'd really appreciate all your help with this: http://www.discoverbamboo.eu/click/1366/3f621895356c150ed2d1bd29c7e2ca4d - thanks!
[12:42] <digz> dr_willis: could this be the root of the problem?
[12:42] <tomodachi> alecat: its a little bit tricky but it has some nice features as well. You can use desktop switching separately.
[12:42] <dr_willis> digz:  now that app only seems to show the clicks.. if you click and hold down.... it may not be showing that...
[12:42] <dr_willis> Im not sure of a mouse config/debug app that shows more detailed info.
[12:42] <tomodachi> alecat: for each desktop.
[12:43] <dr_willis> Unless anyone else knows of a tool to show if a mouse button is held down or not...
[12:43] <tomodachi> dr_willis: if you can just cat the output device. if you want to see if there is any output.
[12:43] <OerHeks> smii is that some kind of contest to win a Bamboo ?
[12:43] <cypha> llutz_, so how do I port forward? :)
[12:43] <digz> dr_willis: it shows when i press down, and when i release.
[12:43] <dr_willis> tomodachi:  cating here.. dident show the mouse clicks..  showed movement.. but not clicking.. i tried sudo cat /dev/input/mice
[12:43] <digz> on all three buttons but trackpad leftclick.
[12:44] <dr_willis> digz:  so that confirms the button is broke at least. :)
[12:44] <llutz_> cypha: you said you already forwarded it in your router
[12:44] <digz> dr_willis: do you think if i physically destroyed it it would help?
[12:44] <cypha> llutz_, I meant I let 8000 through
[12:44] <dr_willis> digz:  no idea. hard to tell
[12:44] <llutz_> cypha: you forward WAN:80 -> LAN:8000
[12:45] <dr_willis> digz:  theres most likely some wires you could unplug from the touchpad..
[12:45] <dr_willis> My laptops got physical off buttons for their touchpads
[12:45] <llutz_> cypha: again: are you behind a router?
[12:45] <digz> dr_willis: mine has an FN shortcut
[12:45] <cypha> llutz_, yes I am
[12:45] <digz> dr_willis: but it's useless.
[12:46] <llutz_> cypha: it should have setting for that
[12:46] <cypha> yeah, I'm doing it
[12:46] <cypha> I just had 8000 external and 8000 internal
[12:46] <cypha> so I'm making 80 external to 8000 internal
[12:46] <dr_willis> i gotta run.. bbl
[12:46] <dr_willis> good luck
[12:48] <kanha_> I have ubuntu 11.04 installed in my laptop and it was working wel but now its not booting an error msg as>>>>an occured unable to mount /var/run.How to fix it?
[12:49] <cypha> llutz_, won't this affect all websites though?
[12:50] <llutz_> cypha: all those being accessible from external, yes
[12:51] <cypha> i'm saying, won't this convert even google.com (which I suppose would use port 80) into using 8000 internally?
[12:51] <amin`> JWM ?? how could someone build a menu for JWM automatically? like this in openbox  mmaker -vf OpenBox3
[12:51] <llutz_> cypha: no, you redirecto incoming ports, not outgoing
[12:53] <hadidonk> back
[12:54] <ouyes> hello I get a problem I find my cpu fan keep running at a high speed
[12:54] <ouyes> I am using ubuntu 10.04 and thinkpad t400

[12:59] <shp> i've got a big problem: i uninstalled compiz and unity disappeared !!! so i installed it again and now it does not start at startup (have to write unity --replace in a shell) and there is the bottom bar in the unity interface not normal

[13:04] <IRsee> I mean well
[13:04] <sandra_> IRsee, glad to hear it
[13:04] <shp> i've got a big problem: i uninstalled compiz and unity disappeared !!! so i installed it again and now it does not start at startup (have to write unity --replace in a shell) and there is the bottom bar in the unity interface not normal
[13:04] <sandra_> I have a problem here that even google couldn't answer.
[13:05] <ActionParsnip> shp: could add a startup item to run the command
[13:05] <shp> ActionParsnip, yes but what about the bottom bar?
[13:05] <sandra_> It was suggested to me to use xorg-edgers PPA to update to the latest nvidia video driver.
[13:05] <kantlivelong> anyone here use LAGG(802.3ad)+LACP?
[13:05] <sandra_> I followed the instructions as far as adding xorg-edgers PPA.
[13:06] <shp> there is no possibility to set options by default -_--"""""
[13:06] <cypha> thank you llutz_
[13:06] <cypha> got it all working
[13:06] <sandra_> But when I rebooted my Unity desktop was gone
[13:06] <cypha> somehow, someway, it only works without the entry into /etc/hosts
[13:06] <kantlivelong> to clarify... anyone here use LAGG(802.3ad)+LACP? I set everything up and only am getting 1Gbit when i should be getting 2Gbit... :/
[13:06] <sandra_> I had to log in by using the Unity 2d desktop.
[13:06] <cypha> I think because I'm already forwarding through vbox
[13:07] <sandra_> Can any of you please knidly tell me how to get my unity desktop back up and running ?
[13:07] <sandra_> Thanks
[13:07] <alaing> ActionParsnip: are you around?
[13:07] <ActionParsnip> alaing:
[13:08] <alaing> ActionParsnip: hi, i tried the livecd and it picked up my wireless adaptor
[13:08] <alaing> so it must be an old config or something
[13:08] <ActionParsnip> alaing: then its a bug with upgrading. The upgrade has made it not work but a clean install will make it ok
[13:09] <ActionParsnip> alaing: not sure where the config issue lies, also check the loaded modules and compare to your installed OS
[13:09] <ActionParsnip> alaing: also check which package the driver is in, you may need to reinstall that package
[13:09] <alaing> not to keen on clean installation
[13:10] <ActionParsnip> alaing: hopefully it won't go that way
[13:10] <stephni> can i install total video converter with wine cos winff does not convert in 3p
[13:10] <ActionParsnip> stephni: if it is in the appdb, yes
[13:10] <ActionParsnip> stephni: what do you want to convert from/to? mencoder can do almost anything
[13:10] <shp> when i start "unity --replace" bottom bar remains: how delete it ??????????
[13:11] <CharlieSu> Hi.  I'm on Lucid and I'm installing libwww-perl.  I'd like a newer version of LWP (v6 not v5). Is there a way to get that on Lucid?
[13:11] <alaing> ActionParsnip: I've got the driver from ralink website. I remember when I finihsed installed my wifi I had to run make or something
[13:11] <SunTsu> CharlieSu: prolly not, because Lucid is old
[13:11] <johannes2011> @shp: bottom bar comes from gnome. kill gnome-panel and remove gnome-panel. sudo apt-get remove gnome-panel. then logout and login again
[13:12] <stephni> AVI TO 3GP
[13:12] <CharlieSu> SunTsu: some PPA or something?   I mean it meets to Perl Reqs...
[13:12] <alaing> ActionParsnip: how do i chekc the package?
[13:12] <stephni> sorry it was in caps
[13:12] <SunTsu> CharlieSu: you could install it from cpan, but I don't think that you'll find that for lucid
[13:12] <Pici> CharlieSu: What version do you need?
[13:12] <shp> thx johannes2011
[13:12] <CharlieSu> Pici: v6
[13:13] <roxdragon> hi all
[13:13] <CharlieSu> SunTsu: I'm able to install it via CPAN, but I'm trying to automate everythign w/ Chef..  It isn't working well because the other version is installed via the package manager.
[13:13] <Pici> CharlieSu: Yeah, you're going to have to find an outside source for that. Perhaps via a PPA.
[13:14] <ActionParsnip> alaing: so you say you have to compile the driver?
[13:15] <ActionParsnip> Stephni: http://www.ehow.com/how_6121269_convert-avi-3gp-ubuntu.html

[13:16] <compdoc> all made with that top menu in mind
[13:16] <X-tonic> @ johannes2011: That has gnome-shell as dependency
[13:16] <X-tonic> That i want to avoid
[13:17] <johannes2011> alright. then try ubuntu-tweak
[13:17] <X-tonic> Makes no sense on part of ubuntu to have gnome-shell to be able to customize unity.

[13:26] <roxdragon> http://paste.ubuntu.com/718767/
[13:26] <sirsean1227> I am running Ubuntu 11.10 on my laptop.  It is plugged into my HD tv via HDMI.  I would like to know how to change the login managers resolution.  My desktop resolution is fine, but the Login Screen resolution is not 1080p as i wish it to be.
[13:27] <infinii> Hi, anyone able to figure out how to get grub working on EFI system? 11.10+w7
[13:27] <om26er> no
[13:28] <Gentoo64> sirsean1227, is it just the wallpaper, or the login bit itself thats not right
[13:28] <sirsean1227> the login itself
[13:29] <sirsean1227> i know nothing about this new Login manager in ubuntu 11.10
[13:29] <Gentoo64> sirsean1227, cant find much on google, found one thing.. try edit the file: /etc/lightdm/unity-greeter.conf
[13:29] <Gentoo64> see if theres any res options in there
[13:29] <phlak_user> sirsean1227: you can edit the unity-greeter.conf in /etc/lightdm
[13:29] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[13:30] <odb|fidel> lightdm seems to keep using the wrong keyboard layout for me - is that a known issue?
[13:30] <sandra_> Hello BluesKaj
[13:30] <BluesKaj> hi sandra_
[13:30] <phlak_user> odb|fidel: you mean at every boot it changes?
[13:31] <sirsean1227> Gentoo64:  Do i change the dpi setting?  That is the only thing i can see
[13:31] <Gentoo64> sirsean1227, you could try that see if it helps
[13:31] <phlak_user> sirsean1227: that should be for the font
[13:31] <alaing> ActionParsnip: this is what I had to do last time http://pastebin.com/W4UCHE0g
[13:31] <sirsean1227> Gentoo64,  What would be dpi for 1080p?
[13:32] <Gentoo64> there isnt one
[13:32] <sirsean1227> oh
[13:32] <Gentoo64> depends on the monitor
[13:32] <sirsean1227> PHLAK,  oh haha
[13:32] <odb|fidel> phlak_user: yes it is english on each boot
[13:32] <sandra_> Say does anyone here use xorg-edgers PPA for the video driver needs ?
[13:32] <sirsean1227> PHLAK,  Yeah that sound right
[13:32] <Gentoo64> if the wallpaper is fine etc then dpi should make the font bigger
[13:32] <odb|fidel> while it is german after login
[13:33] <Fever> What is the difference between .bashrc and .bash_profile?
[13:33] <phlak_user> odb|fidel: where do you change it each time?
[13:33] <llutz_> Fever: different kind of invocation, read "man bash"
[13:33] <sirsean1227> phlak_user: is there a line i can add?
[13:33] <Gentoo64> can anyone paste that /etc/lightdm/unity-greeter.conf ?
[13:34] <sirsean1227> Gentoo64: #
[13:34] <sirsean1227> # background = Background file to use, either an image path or a color (e.g. #772953)
[13:34] <sirsean1227> # logo = Logo file to use
[13:34] <sirsean1227> # theme-name = GTK+ theme to use
[13:34] <sirsean1227> # font-name = Font to use
[13:34] <sirsean1227> # xft-antialias = Whether to antialias Xft fonts (true or false)
[13:34] <FloodBot1> sirsean1227: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:34] <Gentoo64> i mean, not like that lol
[13:34] <Gentoo64> the whole file on paste site
[13:34] <odb|fidel> phlak_user: i configured my ubuntu session to use german keyboard layout. gdm was able to rmeember the setting - while lightdm seems to always use english. i noticed there is a .file in the users home which might be related to the user lightDM setting - but as i am not in front of that linux box right now i cant double-check the filename
[13:35] <JeffFromOhio> When you install a package in Ubuntu, is there some default directory it will install documentation to, other than the man pages?
[13:35] <sirsean1227> sorry
[13:35] <sirsean1227> this is my first time
[13:35] <Gentoo64> sirsean1227, its ok
[13:35] <Gentoo64> sirsean1227, http://dpaste.com/ paste it there
[13:35] <iceroot> Gentoo64: http://pastebin.com/YfwXy8j8
[13:35] <JeffFromOhio> I'm trying to find documentation for the postgresql package which tells me what the default admin password is, or if there is a config file I need to edit to set a password and enable the server
[13:36] <Gentoo64> sirsean1227, ok dont worry
[13:36] <iceroot> JeffFromOhio: dpkg -L packagename
[13:36] <sirsean1227> Gentoo64,  Done!
[13:37] <sirsean1227> Gentoo64,  I am sure i could add a line
[13:37] <sirsean1227> Gentoo64,  Just dont know what
[13:37] <Gentoo64> sirsean1227, i dont think theres any res options there
[13:38] <Gentoo64> if its just a login screen, maybe just deal with it? lol
[13:38] <sirsean1227> Gentoo64,  Thats what it looked like to me as well.  Can i add a line?
[13:38] <Chotaz`Work> Gnome3's so pretty and simple *_*
[13:38] <sandra_> Say does anyone here use xorg-edgers PPA for the video driver needs ?
[13:38] <Gentoo64> sirsean1227, i dont think so
[13:39] <tkruise> mirc without fixedsys is like living without my penis
[13:39] <Gentoo64> sirsean1227, changing any other settings would prob mess with your desktop res so i dont know
[13:39] <sandra_> Say does anyone here use xorg-edgers PPA for their video driver needs ?
[13:39] <sirsean1227> Gentoo64,   It would be nice if the Ubuntu Devs thought about simple stuff like that.
[13:39] <sandra_> I can't spell or write this morning
[13:39] <Gentoo64> sirsean1227, yeah i suppose 99% of people have the login screen the same res as desktop though
[13:39] <Gentoo64> ie default native res
[13:40] <SunTsu> sandra_: no, and after what you just wrote I doubt that I will try to ;)
[13:40] <sirsean1227> Gentoo64,  It should default to whatever screen you are using
[13:40] <Gentoo64> is it too small or big or something
[13:40] <sandra_> SunTsu, Work the majority of the time lol
[13:40] <Gentoo64> sirsean1227, what res is the laptop? 1080p as well?
[13:40] <sirsean1227> Gentoo64,  To big
[13:40] <sirsean1227> no
[13:41] <sirsean1227> the laptop is XXXX x 900
[13:41] <Gentoo64> your prob outputting at a lower res to the tv
[13:41] <Gentoo64> and messing up the size
[13:41] <kbroulik> Can I install qt creator without downloading that qt-docs which is 85 mb ?
[13:41] <sirsean1227> Gentoo64,  the laptop is XXXX x 900
[13:41] <Gentoo64> 1440x900 i take it
[13:41] <Gentoo64> put that on 1920x1080 screen and it will be bigger.
[13:42] <sirsean1227> Gentoo64,  no i have the laptop display turned off.  The tv is on 1080p for sure, but the login manager doesnt change when i set the desktop res.
[13:42] <llutz_> kbroulik: just don't installl recommends
[13:42] <kbroulik> okay I'll try if Muon can handle such stuff
[13:42] <llutz_> kbroulik: apt-get install --no-install-recommends qtcreator
[13:43] <kbroulik> llutz_: thx :)
[13:43] <Gentoo64> sirsean1227, hope someone else can help, ive never had to mess with that myself so im really not sure sorry
[13:43] <JPinheiro_> Hi!
[13:43] <sirsean1227> Gentoo64,  I hate Unity
[13:43] <Gentoo64> sirsean1227, you dont have to use it
[13:43] <sirsean1227> i know
[13:43] <phper_> Hello. Any ideas why portable ubuntu 4 doesn't start on my computer?
[13:44] <sirsean1227> Gentoo64,  Have you heard of anyone being able to get ubuntu to work on a tablet?
[13:44] <sirsean1227> Gentoo64,  like an acer tablet ?
[13:44] <iceroot> phper_: what is portable ubuntu 4? doesnt sound like a supported one
[13:44] <JPinheiro_> Use Gnome 3
[13:44] <Gentoo64> havent paid much attention tbh. its probably more than possible
[13:45] <hc96> Hi! I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 with gnome. My down panel is 48px high. I want to have 4 application launchers in 2x2-formation. How would I do that?
[13:45] <Gentoo64> brb coffee
[13:45] <sirsean1227> Gentoo64,  COFFEEEEE!
[13:45] <phper_> iceroot: it's ubuntu that runs as a portable windows application.
[13:45] <JPinheiro_> Has anyone been able to network print using 11.10?
[13:45] <sandra_> Say does anyone here use xorg-edgers PPA for their video driver needs ?
[13:45] <iceroot> phper_: never heard of it
[13:46] <iceroot> !anyone | sandra_
[13:46] <iceroot> !anyone | JPinheiro_
[13:46] <ActionParsnip> jeses, thats hideous: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/portable-ubuntu-ubuntu-system-running-as-a-windows-application.html
[13:46] <ActionParsnip> iceroot: ^
[13:47] <sirsean1227> i like turtles
[13:47] <iceroot> ActionParsnip: doesnt sound like a supported one
[13:47] <sandra_> it is my real question lol
[13:47] <iceroot> ActionParsnip: different kernel and so on
[13:47] <ActionParsnip> phper_: I suggest you contact the developer
[13:47] <ActionParsnip> iceroot: pretty much
[13:47] <iceroot> sandra_: ok, someone is saying yes, so you question is finished?
[13:48] <iceroot> sandra_: or do you have a real question?
[13:48] <sandra_> iceroot, no one said they use it
[13:48] <sandra_> iceroot, and yes it's a real question
[13:48] <iceroot> sandra_: i am using it
[13:48] <llutz_> sandra_: no its a pointless meta-question
[13:49] <auronandace> sandra_: i hope you realise that ppas are unsupported thirdparty packages
[13:49] <iceroot> sandra_: so i am happy to answer your question and no other question is coming about that ppa
[13:50] <sandra_> iceroot, does your use of the xorg-edgers PPA result in your Unity desktop disappearing ?
[13:50] <spiekey> Hello!
[13:50] <iceroot> sandra_: you see that your first question was useless?
[13:50] <alaing> ActionParsnip:  did you see that pastebin?
[13:50] <iceroot> sandra_: because instead of the "stupid! anyone-question you had a real question
[13:50] <spiekey> how can i get the linux-header for 2.6.38-11-genericin Ubuntu 11.10? I does not seem to be in the repo anymore
[13:50] <auronandace> sandra_: there is the real question
[13:51] <iceroot> sandra_: 11.10 is using 3.0 and not 2.6.38
[13:51] <iceroot> sandra_: wrong nick
[13:51] <iceroot> spiekey: 11.10 is using linux 3.0 and not 2.6.38
[13:51] <iceroot> spiekey: so you need the headers for your current kernel which is 3.0
[13:52] <spiekey> iceroot, i know. Stilll...i just upgraded and want to use the last Kernel... :)
[13:52] <sandra_> iceroot, I did state my question earlier but be that as it may I had to log in using Unity 2D because my 3D unity would not come up .
[13:52] <iceroot> spiekey: and why not 3.0.0.x?
[13:53] <sandra_> iceroot, do you know of a way of restoring the 3D Unity desktop?
[13:53] <iceroot> sandra_: sorry, no
[13:54] <auronandace> sandra_: try not using a ppa for xorg
[13:54] <sandra_> iceroot, Unity 2D uses Gnome 3.2.0 not gnome 2
[13:54] <auronandace> sandra_: ppas are not supported for a reason
[13:55] <JPinheiro_> iceroot, sorry... I'm new to this...
[13:55] <iceroot> JPinheiro_: no problem
[13:56] <JPinheiro_> But I can't network print with my 11.10...
[13:56] <sandra_> auronandace, I'm new to Linux on the whole but PPA's do work well by & large. OF course I understand what your saying.
[13:56] <iceroot> JPinheiro_: any error messages? what have you tried? what is not working? what printer and so on
[13:56] <ilembitov> Hi, all. I have just installed Ubuntu 11.10 and installed catalyst drivers for my ATI Radeon Mobility HD 4330. But when I try to run AMD Catalyst Control Center, it says that it can't find my card. What do I do?
[13:56] <sandra_> But's it's obvious that Ubuntu users use them .
[13:57] <auronandace> sandra_: ppa is only specific to ubuntu
[13:57] <auronandace> !ppa | sandra_
[13:57] <auronandace> sandra_: bottom line is if you want support for a ppa, ask the ppa provider
[13:58] <MonkeyDust> sandra_: ppa's are not supported by the community
[13:58] <auronandace> sandra_: especially for something as fundamental as xorg
[13:58] <sandra_> aronandace, Yes I know that that's why I am directing my question to my fellow Ubuntu users who do use PPA if you don't use them that's fine.
[13:58] <IT_GUY> anyone else having issue where brasero locks up in 11.10? I can burn an iso then close it, then if I relaunch it it refuses to launch unless I log out and log back in.
[13:58] <JPinheiro_> iceroot: Canon Pixma iP4300, with and without TurboPrint, I can't find the printer on the network, no firewall, TurboPrint says the server has no such service...
[13:59] <auronandace> sandra_: you ask the provider, not the users in the official support channel
[13:59] <MonkeyDust> sandra_: find out who created the ppa and contact that person
[14:00] <sandra_> aurondace, I asked because I've seen others in this chat channel talk about their use of them
[14:00] <sandra_> And perhaps someone here might have a answer
[14:00] <coraxx> anyone know of a website where there is a database/collection of LibreOffice Impress Templates ? (found a few templates on some websites...would like to have a bigger selection)
[14:02] <sandra_> *shaking head* amazing that one has to limit one's resources when it' dealing with Ubuntu
[14:02] <coraxx> sandra_: what was your original question ...I just logged on so I didn't see it ?
[14:03] <sandra_> oh btw I did ask the provider of the Xorg-edgers PPA the question
[14:03] <Myrtti> sandra_: wrongdoings of others don't justify yours
[14:03] <auronandace> sandra_: i find it amazing that people don't understand what unsupported means
[14:03] <alaing> ActionParsnip: did you see the pastebin?
[14:03] <sandra_> take a deep breath gang...
[14:04] <sandra_> PPA's do have a vaule  point , and yes I understand that they are usupported but Ubuntu users do use them and some of them work very very well.
[14:04] <ActionParsnip> alaing: can you PM me it please, I'm in and out of the channel
[14:04] <Shiggs|i5> hello all... I don't run Ubuntu, but I was hoping I could get some help with UEFI Grub booting on a MacBook 3,1. :)
[14:05] <llutz_> sandra_: all correct, but #ubuntu is the WRONG place to ask about
[14:05] <ActionParsnip> Shiggs|i5: this is ubuntu support only
[14:05] <ActionParsnip> Shiggs|i5: try in #apple
[14:05] <Shiggs|i5> ...
[14:05] <sandra_> coraxx, thanks for the offer of help
[14:05] <conntrack> How do I know if my jumpbox is secure?
[14:06] <Shiggs|i5> I would, except #apple is invite only
[14:06] <Shiggs|i5> all I need is general UEFI booting help
[14:06] <ActionParsnip> Shiggs|i5: this is ubuntu support only, sorry
[14:06] <conntrack> I have access to it
[14:07] <sandra_> coraxx, What I did was use a PPA that was suggested to me the xorg-edgers PPA  I used it but lost the use of my 3D Unity desktop . But I am able to log into my Unity 2D desktop . What I was hoping is that perhaps someone in the channel used it and knows of a solution .
[14:07] <conntrack> Guess I might need support to fly in and fix it
[14:07] <tkruise> cant I use fixedsys font on ubuntu?
[14:07] <conntrack> Or drive
[14:07] <JPinheiro_> iceroot: can print from the main machine
[14:07] <JPinheiro_> can't print from other machines
[14:08] <weside> morning all
[14:08] <JPinheiro_> iceroot: I' reinstalled cups
[14:08] <yoga> This there something like open a.txt in bash to open a file with the associated app, as in OS X ?
[14:08] <nik_> Hi!
[14:09] <JPinheiro_> but cups seems to have more than 200 reported bugs...
[14:09] <ro_70s> when I press control+C  to interrupt a process at the cmdline, it messes up the prompt afterwards. how can I fix that?
[14:09] <MartyMccFly> yoga: kstart
[14:09] <llutz_> ro_70s: "reset"
[14:09] <Pici> ro_70s: type reset?
[14:09] <Newbeeans> How do I install Flash Player?
[14:10] <ActionParsnip> ro_70s: use && instead of ;
[14:10] <ActionParsnip> !flash | Newbeeans
[14:10] <auronandace> !flash | Newbeeans
[14:10] <weside> I just installed ubuntu 11.10 had problems with Unity freezing up when doing a search in the dash, anybody else experience this?
[14:10] <sandra_> Neweeans, I see you have managed to install Ubuntu now ?
[14:10] <conntrack> I guess the support guy would be pissed having to fly in and fix some handy work
[14:11] <conntrack> On my jump box
[14:11] <ro_70s> Pici: llutz_:  :D yeah, reset works but I mean it just messes up the history and prompt , instead of drawing it correctly. the whole terminal isnt getting thrashed, this is most every time I use control C.
[14:11] <general-alvin> where is the lxde room?
[14:11] <auronandace> !lubuntu | general-alvin
[14:11] <ro_70s> Pici: llutz_: like it will write ^C on the line where there prompt is at and then not draw the $ at the end.
[14:11] <Calahan> Hi, I'm using 10.10 server edition, it was necessary to run GUI and installed ubuntu-desktop, problem is when i connect it trought vnc there is no way to get taskbar menu. Any ideas? Please /msg if have time to help.
[14:12] <coraxx> sandra_: ok ... I would uninstall the packages from the PPA, that apparently didn't work ...using the Synaptic Package Manager (within it you can select the section called 'Origins' on then the PPA, there by showing you all packages installed from that place) ... secondly I would make a copy of your xorg.conf file (located in /etc/X11/xorg.conf ) ...and then delete the current one ...then...
[14:12] <sandra_> Newbeeans, if you would like a quick and painless way to add flash is to go to this site provided Firefox is your web browser of choice
[14:12] <coraxx> ...restart your PC and see if it returns to 'normal'
[14:12] <auronandace> general-alvin: you can ask here too
[14:12] <conntrack> I'd expect the support guy to disappear up his own ass
[14:12] <Newbeeans> sandra_: I tried but it failed to find any plugins :)
[14:12] <Pici> ro_70s: My shell works fine if I do that.
[14:12] <weside> well my fix was switching from unity and just using the Gnome-shell
[14:12] <Newbeeans> brb
[14:13] <anonymous> #4chan
[14:13] <hwilde> how to stop iphone automount but allow other devices to automount?  a udev example would be nice maybe?  don't just say udev rules.
[14:13] <general-alvin> auronandace: how can i add up three apps to run when digital clock is clicked? :D
[14:13] <resus> thank you Pici
[14:13] <ro_70s> guess I'll try over at #bash -- thanks Pici: llutz_:
[14:13] <Pici> ro_70s: Yeah, sorry I couldn't be of more help.
[14:14] <auronandace> general-alvin: sorry, don't follow, i use xfce
[14:14] <Pici> conntrack: Is there a support question in there somewhere? Or are you just looking to vent?
[14:14] <general-alvin> auronandace: ok
[14:14] <JPinheiro_> iceroot: need more details?
[14:14] <weside> looks like my question slipped though the cracks, i am outta here.
[14:16] <conntrack> pici: Yeah I'll go close off the vent now :)
[14:16] <coraxx> anyone know of a website where there is a database/collection of LibreOffice Impress Templates ? (found a few templates on some websites...would like to have a bigger variaty)
[14:17] <Calahan> Anyone able to assist with GUI ubuntu-desktop problem, i have vnc4server and when i connect trought vnc there is no taskbar menu. Any ideas?

[14:17] <coraxx> sandra_: your welcome :-)
[14:18] <hwilde> Calahan, did u try vino-server
[14:18] <sandra_> Newbeeans, do you have access to the Ubuntu software center ?
[14:18] <Calahan> hwilde no i have not tried vino-server
[14:18] <auronandace> sandra_: he left
[14:19] <ro_70s> Pici: llutz_: turns out you can fix that bash problem with set echo-control-characters off in .bashrc
[14:19] <Pici> ro_70s: thanks for the tip (I'm a zsh user though) :)
[14:19] <BrixSat> when i make insmod viawget.ko i get how come? "insmod: error inserting 'viawget.ko': -1 Operation not permitted"
[14:19] <sandra_> auronandace, Thanks for the FYI :-) he had a lot of troubles just installing Ubuntu.
[14:20] <coraxx> BrixSat: remember to put 'sudo' before the insmod commando
[14:20] <BrixSat> coraxx:  same :p thing
[14:20] <auronandace> sandra_: i know, i helped too, he ended up reinstalling and all his problems dissappeared
[14:21] <sandra_> auronandace, yes it was suggested he reinstall glad to know it solved his problem.
[14:23] <BrixSat> ?
[14:23] <coraxx> BrixSat: What kindda kernel module is it ? (what does it do) ....I might now be permitted to be inserted while in 'user mode' ...I might only be at boot time.

[14:24] <neckoox> hi ! anyone managed to share an internet connection with ubuntu here?
[14:24] <BrixSat> coraxx:  :)
[14:24] <coraxx> BrixSat: ok... is the ndiswrapper module by any chance running also ?
[14:24] <BrixSat> ndiswrapper may be
[14:24] <osborn666> Just an update. Couldn't boot after upgrading to 11.10 today, fchk issue with ntfs partion, fixed by turning fchk off in /etc/fstab. thanks for the help.
[14:25] <coraxx> BrixSat: Then that might be your problem ...you need to make sure its not loaded... before loading the korrekt Kernel Module
[14:25] <BrixSat> coraxx:  how do i view if it is loaded?
[14:26] <helo> does the nvidia binary driver and 64-bit 11.10 generally play well?

[14:27] <helo> know if 8600gs is a problem?
[14:27] <server_> or how to connect to server from client in LDAP ?
[14:28] <coraxx> BrixSat: 'lsmod' shows you the modules loaded.   'lsmod | grep ndis'  will show you all module names loaded that contains 'ndis'
[14:28] <OerHeks> helo test it ? i have no info about 8600 issues
[14:28] <server_> or how to connect to LDAP server
[14:28] <BrixSat> coraxx:  unloaded :)
[14:28] <BrixSat> coraxx:  now i get "insmod: error inserting 'viawget.ko': -1 Invalid module format"
[14:29] <coraxx> BrixSat: Also make sure that your wireless-adapter is switched on (if its switched off or the radio is off you might also get that same error you described)
[14:29] <BrixSat> coraxx: by switched on you mean pci card inserted?
[14:29] <coraxx> BrixSat: The you might be running a Kernel Module that is not compiled with your current kernel-version ....did you compile it yourself ?
[14:29] <remoteCTRL3> hi guys!
[14:29] <conntrack> haha
[14:29] <BrixSat> coraxx:  yes
[14:30] <remoteCTRL3> would you do me the courtesy and tell me how to install kde and xfce on oneiric?
[14:30] <llutz_> remoteCTRL3: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop xubuntu-desktop
[14:30] <lupusarcanus> Well, going by the IRC guidelines, I think it is an OK time for me to try at least once more -- I'm having an issue with my mail server. I set it up according to the Postfix Wiki page, but when I try to send an e-mail to my gmail account via telnet, it says access denied.
[14:30] <coraxx> BrixSat: Wireless-cards can have a 'deactive' switch ....usuallly its a psysical-key on the laptop.
[14:31] <BrixSat> coraxx:  this is a desktop pc so no hardware switch
[14:31] <remoteCTRL3> llutz thanks dude!
[14:32] <cjs226> Ubuntu 11.04: I've run "/etc/init.d# update-rc.d myprocess_stop stop 1 0 1 6 ." which adds the appropriate links to /etc/rc0.d rc1.d and rc6.d.  however the scripts are called only until AFTER the first reboot.  any ideas?
[14:32] <ActionParsnip> remoteCTRL3: you can install minimal xfce with xfce4
[14:32] <conntrack> hmm, I think my pci card needs re seating
[14:32] <coraxx> BrixSat: ok ... then I can only suggest to seek support at the website where you got the source-code ...maybe others have had similar problems... sounds like a software issue.
[14:32] <phper_> Hello. Any knows of portable ubuntu?
[14:32] <conntrack> Thanks for the reminder
[14:32] <remoteCTRL3> ActionParsnip: nice to see you once more and thanks! :]
[14:32] <zoLevDotCom> Hi, guys!
[14:32] <BrixSat> coraxx:  thanks :)
[14:32] <coraxx> anyone know of a website where there is a database/collection of LibreOffice Impress Templates ? (found a few templates on some websites...would like to have a bigger variaty)
[14:32] <sandra_> BrixSat, this happend to me once and what I did was tighten antenna and i was back up and running.
[14:33] <coraxx> BrixSat: yw...np :-)
[14:33] <remoteCTRL3> how can i customize the sidebar of unity?
[14:33] <llutz_> lupusarcanus: check "/var/log/mail.err"
[14:33] <BrixSat> sandra_:  this is more than a simple antena tight :p
[14:33] <Myrtti> lupusarcanus: you could try your luck in #ubuntu-server too
[14:33] <llutz_> lupusarcanus: better #postfix
[14:34] <Myrtti> or that.
[14:34] <BrixSat> coraxx:  may it be the gcc version im compiling?
[14:34] <sandra_> BrixSat, good luck in my case I was banging my head against the wall for over 5 hours  before I realized the antenna was loose .
[14:35] <BrixSat> sandra_:  i have 6 machines all with same hardware and cloned imgs and all with same problem so antena i supose it will not be
[14:35] <lupusarcanus> llutz_ I'm sorry I didn't know there were channels like those! Boy am I bone-headed. Anyway, if it helps any, there is nothing in mail.err.
[14:35] <ActionParsnip> remoteCTRL3: drag items to it, there are other configs in ccsm
[14:36] <remoteCTRL3> ActionParsnip: oh, so i need to install that first... i would liek to fixate it, you know
[14:36] <llutz_> lupusarcanus: also nothing suspicous in "/var/log/mail.log"?
[14:36] <ActionParsnip> remoteCTRL3: how do you mean 'fixate'?
[14:37] <xgt001> anybody knows here how to delete jupiter config files completely?
[14:37] <sandra_> BrixSat, I wish you the best
[14:37] <BrixSat> sandra_:  thanks
[14:37] <remoteCTRL3> ActionParsnip: erm... i meant lock it so that it doesnt vanish
[14:38] <Toph2> i have recently upgraded to 11.10 and now my computer often hangs for periods of time with lots of HD activity. Also, on HTop I notice Compiz taking space. I though Metacity was gnomes window manager by default
[14:39] <coraxx> BrixSat: it shouldn't matter as longs as it compiles ... the kernel header-files and kernel-source files is what matters...if they don't match your current kernel version you might run into issues.  Gotta go...good luck :-)
[14:39] <lupusarcanus> llutz_, After having checked mai.log, I do see that every attempt to connect to Google's servers timed out. What's really confusing me is that the connections were attempted on port 25, when I am trying to use port 587 and even logged into my server via telnet using port 587. I can't use port 25 because my ISP blocks it.:(
[14:41] <xgt001> people, i have this only last gripe preventing switch to ubuntu.... video playback is super noisy (noisy as in fan noise) and frame drops are high too.. some help pls
[14:41] <llutz_> lupusarcanus: you might need to define a transport-entry for google, using 587/submission then. but as i said, better to ask at #postfix
[14:41] <gulzar> How to show my wireless connection (GPRS) info with Conky?
[14:41] <BrixSat> any toughts what this might be? http://paste.ubuntu.com/718852/
[14:42] <Helsinkiii> hi
[14:42] <Helsinkiii> I just upgraded to 11.10 and my Brother Laser Printer does not work at all
[14:42] <Helsinkiii> I'm kind of screwed because I have a report to hand in and I need to print this
[14:43] <BrixSat> Helsinkiii:  is it conneted via lan usb lpt1?
[14:43] <Helsinkiii> holy smokes how do i check
[14:43] <llutz_> man msmtprc
[14:43] <llutz_> oops
[14:43] <BrixSat> Helsinkiii:  see it on the connection to the pc :)
[14:43] <sandra_> Helsinkiii, Welcome to the wonderful world of Ubuntu 11.10 lol my printer stopped working too
[14:43] <lupusarcanus> llutz_ I just had a look at Gmail settings, and they are pretty basic and don't seem to include something like that.
[14:43] <BrixSat> btw after upgrade did you reboot=
[14:43] <xgt001> any help?
[14:44] <Helsinkiii> oh I mean this is bad
[14:44] <Helsinkiii> I'm freaking out
[14:44]  * alaing is cranking up the Red Hot Chili Pepper Tunes
[14:44]  * edbian loves RHCP
[14:44] <BrixSat> xgt001: what video carD?
[14:44] <sandra_> Helsinkiii, But this is what I did I went to HP website and downloaded their printer driver and glad to say I'm back in the printing saddle again :-)
[14:44] <Helsinkiii> BrixSat, it's via usb
[14:44] <BrixSat> Helsinkiii:  did you rebooted after upgrade?
[14:44] <alaing> edbian: I'm with you....
[14:45] <alaing> lol
[14:45] <xgt001> BrixSat, amd 6370m
[14:45] <Helsinkiii> BrixSat, yes
[14:45] <xgt001> i am using prop drivers as well
[14:45] <sandra_> Helsinkiii, Pehaps downloading your driver from Brother may help too
[14:45] <BrixSat> xgt001:  go to #ati
[14:45] <Helsinkiii> BrixSat,should I reinstall the "cups" driver?
[14:45] <BrixSat> so remove the old print and install again :)
[14:46] <Helsinkiii> BrixSat, what do you mean remove the old print
[14:46] <Helsinkiii> the driver?
[14:46] <BrixSat> Helsinkiii:  the printer from printer manager
[14:47] <server_> #LDAP
[14:48] <Helsinkiii> BrixSat, it only gives me permission for serial port and networked printer
[14:48] <Helsinkiii> BrixSat, but it's a USB printer
[14:49] <sandra_> Well my fellow Ubuntu inmates enjoy & have a wonderful day and solutions :-)
[14:50] <remoteCTRL3> ActionParsnip: i wonder why software center wont find neither kubuntu nor xubuntu...
[14:50] <auronandace> remoteCTRL3: use synaptic instead
[14:51] <remoteCTRL3> auronandace: i use software center only when i cannot find something with apt-cache...
[14:51] <remoteCTRL3> ok guys, it was a pleasure
[14:51] <sandra_> remoteCTRL3, Xubuntu does use ubuntu software center by default in the 11.10 version
[14:51]  * remoteCTRL3 -> @xfce testing
[14:52] <auronandace> remoteCTRL3: xfce is my favourite
[14:52] <llutz_> isn't softwarecentre just another frontend to apt?
[14:52] <remoteCTRL3> sandra_: somewhat interesting: software cdenter does find xubuntu and kubuntu but ONLY if you type xubuntu-desktop if you search for xubuntu desktop it wont
[14:52] <remoteCTRL3> veeery veird
[14:53] <edbian> llutz_: yes
[14:53] <remoteCTRL3> auronandace: i was using kde some ages ago, then gnome, but i dont like unity, so i am looking for alternatives. gome is also unfinished imho...
[14:53] <auronandace> remoteCTRL3: lxde is another option
[14:53] <remoteCTRL3> auronandace: yes i heard of it...
[14:54] <auronandace> remoteCTRL3: and enlightenment
[14:54] <remoteCTRL3> but i am actually not looking for a lightweight desktop but for one less cumbersome...
[14:54] <Melior> hey, hvor do i set time in ubuntu server. my time is 1 day ahead of my normal time
[14:54] <sandra_> remoteCTRL3, well the good news it does display and work by default under Xubuntu :-)
[14:54] <remoteCTRL3> auronandace: enlightenment is also not for me...
[14:54] <Guest88905> hello i   wana ask some thing
[14:54] <Guest88905> can any one help  me
[14:54] <auronandace> sandra_: he meant he couldn't find the xubuntu package using the software centre
[14:55] <remoteCTRL3> sandra_: ermm... what exactly?
[14:55] <sandra_> oic sorry my bad
[14:55] <mneptok> remoteCTRL3: the xfce4 package will pull in just the DE, and not all the associated apps you'll get in -desktop (e.g. Pidgin, gmusicbrowser, Abiword, etc)
[14:55] <remoteCTRL3> ah... kk:)

[15:17] <yeats> !ati
[15:17] <slakcphil> like `which cp` would give you the direct path to the file and if it's in bin you will see it or use `locate` to find it
[15:18] <slakcphil> it may be in a libexec dir

[15:20] <dr_willis> Helsinkiii:  what package?
[15:20] <Helsinkiii> i upgraded to 11.10 and my printer stopped working
[15:21] <Helsinkiii> i tried to reinstall the driver from the Brother website
[15:21] <Helsinkiii> and it went bad from there
[15:21] <Helsinkiii> Janitor stopped working, synaptic doesn't work and neither does apt-get
[15:21] <ActionParsnip> Helsinkiii: reinstall the deb in terminal
[15:21] <dr_willis> Hmm. My brother printer had drivers allready in the repos. :)
[15:21] <llutz_> dr_willis: lucky you are
[15:21] <dr_willis> Helsinkiii:  what was the exact file name and package you are refering to?
[15:23] <bmomjian1> Just upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 and have the problem with my T43 screen not reappearing after the lid is shut, and configured to do nothing.  Anyone find a fix to this.  An hour of Google searches did not find a fix.
[15:24] <bmomjian1> With 10.04, F1, F7 fixed it
[15:24] <Helsinkiii> ActionParsnip, it says errors were encountered while processing it
[15:25] <bmomjian1> I tried ForceEnablePipeA but that is not supported in xorg in 10.10
[15:26] <vivanov> after installing oneiric amd64 desktop it doesnt boot -- Operating System Not Found
[15:26] <ActionParsnip> Helsinkiii: could force install it but it may cause more issues, you may have yo install a lot of packages manually to get squared off
[15:26] <ActionParsnip> vivanov: did grub install ok?
[15:26] <Helsinkiii> ActionParsnip, how should I proceed?
[15:26] <vivanov> ActionParsnip: no idea
[15:27] <vivanov> ActionParsnip: grub doesnt appear on screen
[15:27] <vivanov> guess not
[15:27] <cypha> llutz_, can I make outgoing url look like asdf.zapto.org?
[15:27] <ActionParsnip> vivanov: if you hold shift at boot do you see a text screen ?
[15:28] <llutz_> cypha: "outgoing url"?
[15:28] <cypha> llutz_, cuz my server is trying to connect to facebook's api, but needs the same URL that i registered
[15:28] <ActionParsnip> Helsinkiii: if it were me I would force install the package, see if it helps
[15:28] <cypha> for login

[15:31] <Reaper> I gotta admit its very nice !
[15:32] <hadidonk> ofc i replace with katya linux mint
[15:32] <auronandace> !mint | hadidonk
[15:32] <chihlang> Is there anyone know how to setup SMPlayer to work
[15:33] <ct529> llutz_: what do you mean?
[15:33] <chihlang> me ?
[15:33] <llutz_> ct529:are those files with strange timestamp just regular files? if yes, i'd suggest runnign fsck
[15:33] <ActionParsnip> chihlang: works without any extra config here
[15:33] <ct529> llutz_: sorry, what do you mean with regular files .... and why should fsck fix it
[15:33] <ct529> llutz_: as in not device files or links?
[15:33] <llutz_> ct529: eg ~/.gvfs is not a regular file
[15:34] <yeats> !panels
[15:34] <ct529> llutz_: well, some of them are hidden files some of them just files
[15:34] <mengu> hello everyone. i am using ubuntu 11.10 and until today i was using forticlient ssl vpn client. this one: http://internal.enterprisecomponent.com/download/FortiClientSSLVPN/forticlientsslvpn_linux_4.0.2010.tar.gz
[15:34] <ActionParsnip> Helsinkiii: what package are you trying to reinstall?
[15:34] <chihlang> It tell me need code
[15:34] <mengu> today i got some updates so i went straight and updated via synaptic. and then forticlient stopped linux.
[15:34] <mengu> *working
[15:35] <mengu> how do i know what exactly is the problem
[15:35] <dr_willis> !find sudo apt-get install conky
[15:35] <dr_willis> doh.. wrong paste.
[15:35] <hadidonk> before i use maverick so far so good, but after dicided to replace with ubuntu 11.10 my compy can't runing well
[15:36] <llutz_> ct529: if you haven't created/copyied those files from any other filesystem, it _might be_ a fs-corruption, you should check
[15:36] <ct529> llutz_: most of them are copied over from within a virtual machine that crashed badly
[15:36] <hadidonk> after that i replace katya and may be i'm not sure will replace again gentoo or arch
[15:37] <mneptok> hadidonk: felicitations. do you have an Ubuntu support question?
[15:38] <jchen> ?
[15:39] <hadidonk> unity can't runing well on my Satellite L300
[15:39] <mneptok> hadidonk: it's installed now, and you are having problems with it?
[15:39] <hadidonk> not i try installed a week ago
[15:40] <mneptok> hadidonk: the you want #ubuntu-offtopic
[15:40] <mneptok> !offtopic | hadidonk
[15:40] <hadidonk> o.. thankz
[15:41] <pavan_> hello guys
[15:41] <mengu> is it possible to reverse an update?
[15:41] <pavan_> is 1000+ processor wake ups per second normal under ideal conditions
[15:41] <auronandace> mengu: not really no
[15:41] <auronandace> !downgrade | mengu
[15:41] <pavan_> my battery is drying up quickly
[15:43] <mengu> auronandace:  i am not talking about downgrading to an older ubuntu version
[15:43] <mneptok> pavan_: sounds odd. disable various power management pieces (working down from the desktop to the kernel) and see if any of them are responsible?
[15:43] <mengu> ubuntu software center popped up and told me there were updates so i went through it.
[15:43] <mengu> after the update it fucked up my ssl vpn client
[15:43] <mengu> this one: http://internal.enterprisecomponent.com/download/FortiClientSSLVPN/forticlientsslvpn_linux_4.0.2010.tar.gz
[15:43] <auronandace> mengu: i think the same principle applies to software packages
[15:43] <fmauro> pavan_: I'm at about 250 wakes/s
[15:43] <mneptok> mengu: "messed up" in this channel, if you please.
[15:44] <pavan_> mneptok : I have installed jupiter for power management, do u think it is creating problems
[15:44] <mengu> mneptok: sure.
[15:44] <mneptok> pavan_: could well be. disable it and watch wha'ppens.
[15:44] <fmauro> pavan_: I'm using powertoÃp to onitor wakes
[15:44] <mengu> would anyone using 11.10 try downloading that client and see if the desktop client runs for them?
[15:45] <pavan_> fmauro : will try that
[15:45] <mengu> by the way, my setup is 64 bit and this application is 32 bit. though it was working previously.
[15:45] <mneptok> mengu: how hard you swear and punch stuff in meatspace around you doesn't concern anyone. but no salty language on public support channels is of concern. thanks for playin' nice. :)
[15:46] <pavan_> mneptok : I have disabled it, no significant changes, its now around 900
[15:46] <mlechner> hi, i tried to sync a folder foo in my home folder ~/foo to sync to ubuntu one. but only the folder itself seems to be synced not the folders and files within it?
[15:46] <Dantix> mornig Sirs, recently I've upgrade my box to 11.10 and lost the DNS resolution, tried adding my dns server to resolv.conf with no luck, which file I need to update to get back DNS resolution?
[15:46] <mneptok> mengu: you must have pulled ia32 libs to get that app running. were those updated? any problem with those will kill that app really quickly.
[15:46] <omni_> Can anyone tell me how to log out of a GUI back into command line?
[15:46] <pavan_> mneptok : I have optimus supported graphics card, do u think it might be the problem with it
[15:46] <fmauro> Dantix: I think network-manager alters resolv.conf at will
[15:47] <pavan_> omni_ : ctrl + alt + F1
[15:47] <fmauro> Dantix: so your changes might have been ignored
[15:47] <Dantix> omni_: ctrl-alt-f1
[15:47] <llutz_> Dantix: using networkmanager? edit connection, set your DNS
[15:47] <mneptok> pavan_: did you install any drivers for the video outside of what is in the mainline kernel?
[15:48] <pavan_> mneptok : Installed ironhide from repo, it in turn installed nvidia drivers
[15:48] <mlechner> Dantix omni_: ctrl-alt-f1 is not a logout u can jump back from console using alt-f7
[15:48] <Dantix> llutz_: how can I run networkmanager as root from gui?
[15:48] <llutz_> Dantix: no need, rightclick on the applet
[15:48] <Dantix> llutz_: trying....
[15:49] <mneptok> pavan_: try booting to a previous kernel. try booting in recovery mode. see if either of those results in fewer CPU wakes. if so, it's the current kernel, or a module loading against it.
[15:49] <auronandace> Dantix: you can do it, we believe in you
[15:49] <mneptok> pavan_: or, is most likely such a thing. it could also be some userspace app you're running.
[15:49] <Dantix> auronandace: :)
[15:50] <pavan_> mneptok : hmm, I'll reboot and check, thanks for your help
[15:50] <pavan_> fmauro : thanks for the help
[15:50] <mengu> mneptok: i really have no idea and do not know if they were updated as well
[15:50] <vivanov> mneptok: sony vaio  vgn-tt31mr - it has bios but ubuntu did install efi partition
[15:50] <omni_> Here, different question. How can you stay in Command line when re-booting and not get pushed into the GUI
[15:50] <Calahan> Have gnome-desktop and vnc4server. After I connnect trought vnc there is no taskbar menu. Any ideas?
[15:50] <dr_willis> !text | omni_
[15:51] <mneptok> vivanov: PM?
[15:51] <Dantix> forgott to mention, I'm on NX session, seems that make the things differents. I can't see any network within networkmanager
[15:51] <omni_> dr_willis, Thank you! i think that will help out better than trying to log out of the GUI.
[15:51] <Bear10> Anyone know why I can't ping userA.local but i can ping <IP_ADDRESS>? i can ping userB.local just fine
[15:52] <vivanov> mneptok: what is PM
[15:52] <dr_willis> omni_:  'sudo service lightdm stop'  will close X and the DM  login' :)
[15:52] <auronandace> !pm vivanov
[15:52] <mneptok> vivanov: private message.
[15:52] <auronandace> !pm | vivanov
[15:52] <mneptok> vivanov: i ask before i /query people, because i expect the same :)
[15:53]  * mneptok waits
[15:54] <omni_> nvm that works better! (changed lightdm to lxdm but it still works!)
[15:54] <vivanov> still getting operating system not found anyway -- always was ok after installation -- now some strange efi partition and nothing boots
[15:54] <omni_> dr_willis, ty again!
[15:54] <mneptok> vivanov: may i /msg you? i know how to fix this.
[15:54] <john_rambo> when I try to mount a nfs share i get "failed: RPC Error: Program not registered"
[15:54] <vivanov> mneptok: yes u can msg me -- thx a lot
[15:55] <e20100633> john_rambo: you need to install portmap
[15:56] <john_rambo> e20100633, Installling portmap now
[15:56] <Calahan> Have ubuntu 11.10 server edition. After installing gnome-desktop and vnc4server. When I connect trought vnc to gnome GUI there is no taksbar menu any ideas how to fix this?
[15:56] <magnetron> hi, how do i disable desktop effects in Natty?
[15:58] <mlechner> hi, i tried to sync a folder foo in my home folder ~/foo to sync to ubuntu one. but only the folder itself seems to be synced not the folders and files within it?
[15:59] <yoga> What is the keyboard short cut for goto the desktop?
[15:59] <john_rambo> e20100633, portmap is already installled
[16:00] <mlechner> yoga which desktop manager?
[16:00] <llutz_> john_rambo: nfs-common?
[16:00] <e20100633> john_rambo: what command are you using to mount your remote nfs ?
[16:00] <yoga> mlechner: ubuntu-desktop
[16:00] <john_rambo> llutz, on the client side ? Yes
[16:00] <yoga> mlechner: desktop 2D
[16:00] <Bear10> Anyone know why I can't ping userA.local but i can ping <IP_ADDRESS>? i can ping userB.local just fine, guessing its a dns issue but not sure how to fix it
[16:01] <mlechner> yoga: unity Super-D (super = windows-key)
[16:02] <yoga> mlechner: not working.
[16:02] <mlechner> yoga: works for me ubuntu 11.10 unity 3D
[16:02] <ActionParsnip> Bear10: does userA.local resolve to an IP?
[16:03] <john_rambo> e20100633, http://pastebin.com/ztqJwHF2       tux is the username of both the PCs
[16:03] <Bear10> ActionParsnip, umm im new to ubuntu so i dont know how to check via cli, i know that userB does since it goes through and userA can be pinged by other computers
[16:03] <ActionParsnip> Bear10: nslookup userA.local    same as in Windows
[16:04] <e20100633> john_rambo: ok, check that: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/NFS-HOWTO/troubleshooting.html (the  b. RPC: Program Not Registered: (or another "RPC" error) part)
[16:04] <Bear10> ActionParsnip, says Server: <IP_ADDRESS>, Address: <IP_ADDRESS>#54, and then server can't find userA.local: NXDOMAIN
[16:04] <Bear10> so i guess not
[16:04] <Bear10> err #53
[16:04] <e20100633> john_rambo: try to run /usr/sbin/rpc.mountd on the server, maybe the daemon isn't running
[16:05] <mlechner> hi, i tried to sync a folder foo in my home folder ~/foo to sync to ubuntu one. but only the folder itself seems to be synced not the folders and files within it?
[16:05] <ActionParsnip> Bear10: then dns is the issue, if userB is ok but userA isn't then its DNS
[16:05] <e20100633> john_rambo: plus, add -t nfs to your command to specify nfs to mount command
[16:06] <llutz_> Bear10: <IP_ADDRESS> is your dhcp-server too? does userA/userB both get IP from it?
[16:06] <Bear10> ActionParsnip, hmm well i notice that userB disappears and cant be localized anymore as soon as i activate my Firewall, but if i disable it on userA i still can't pick that one up
[16:06] <e20100633> john_rambo: like sudo mount -t nfs <IP_ADDRESS>:/home/tux/nfs /home/tux/nfs
[16:06] <Bear10> llutz_, correct
[16:06] <yoga>  mlechner: I found it Ctrl+Alt+D
[16:06] <MrEgg964> Hi -- I want to forward all incoming https requests from server 1 to server 2. Can anyone help?
[16:07] <mlechner> yoga: doesn't work for me ;-)
[16:08] <smango> Is there any way to use unity 3d with metacity? compiz gives me issues with windows borders
[16:08] <llutz_> Bear10: you have to check settings on <IP_ADDRESS> then, running something like dnsmasq or similar i guess
[16:08] <Bear10> hmph
[16:08] <magnetron> Hi! How do i disable desktop effects in Natty?
[16:09] <john_rambo> e20100633, tried starting the rpc.mountd , tried the - t nfs  but same thing .....Do I neeedto open ports on the server side ?
[16:09] <e20100633> john_rambo: well, yes, if you have a firewall enabled? are you using iptables?
[16:10] <panfist> i'm trying to use the startup disk creator, i've reformatted a 4gb usb drive and i'm trying to put 11.10 64 desktop on it, with 3gb reserved for storage
[16:11] <panfist> i'm on my third try, because the rate of transfer keeps slowing down to the point that it says it's going to take 300 mins, 400 mins, even longer to finish
[16:11] <philipballew> If I give my laptop a static IP will is be unable to connect to some wifi networks?
[16:11] <john_rambo> e20100633, gufw enabled & I have allowed nfs as service
[16:11] <e20100633> hum...
[16:11] <keda87> hello
[16:11] <panfist> the usb drive seems otherwise fine, but i was wondering if there is anything i could do to try to troubleshoot this problem
[16:12] <keda87> what is the newest version of maverick kernel?
[16:12] <Younder> where is the postgreSQL database located?
[16:12] <llutz_> keda87: 2.6.35-30
[16:12] <hexacode> how do i delete crontabs by line instead of crontab -r ?
[16:13] <hexacode> i wanna save some crons and just remove some
[16:13] <briman0094> i'm having troubles running a file
[16:13] <briman0094> i messed up my partition tables on my laptop, so i'm trying to run TestDisk from the Ubuntu 10.10 LTS livecd
[16:13] <Phoenix87> re
[16:13] <briman0094> it says "There is no application installed for executable files."
[16:13] <e20100633> john_rambo: what is the content of /etc/host.allow on the server side?
[16:13] <dr_willis> briman0094:  how are you trying to run it?
[16:13] <auronandace> briman0094: 10.04 is lts, not 10.10
[16:14] <keda87> llutz: some day ago i'm upgraded into 2.6.36-020636-generic
[16:14] <briman0094> its 10.10...thats beside the pint
[16:14] <briman0094> point*
[16:14] <keda87> but can u help to delete old kernel
[16:14] <dr_willis> briman0094:  you are running it from the command line?
[16:14] <briman0094> i used chmod +x [filename] and then double clicked it
[16:14] <dr_willis> !info testdisk
[16:14] <briman0094> if i try running it from the command line it says "unknown command"
[16:14] <keda87> ./[filename] via terminal
[16:14] <OerHeks> hexacode, the -r option > https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto#Crontab_Options
[16:15] <briman0094> is that package on the repo?
[16:15] <briman0094> like the ubuntu software center repo
[16:15] <dr_willis> briman0094:  what did you even instal that you need to chmod +x it?   you install it using the package manager.. and just run 'testdisk'
[16:15] <SultansElephant> Hi. I have an installation of Linux Mint based on 11.04. If I use the 11.10 Ubuntu disc image partitioner to wipe out the existing partition (created by the Mint installer) or install over it or something, will the Ubuntu installer/GRUB recover my windows partition just the same? Sounds all right, since Windows is installed first, right?
[16:15] <e20100633> john_rambo: give me too the content of /etc/exports on the server side
[16:15] <dr_willis> briman0094:  correct
[16:15] <briman0094> i downloaded it
[16:15] <briman0094> so its not +x
[16:15] <briman0094> ok i'll go install it from there
[16:15] <briman0094> brb
[16:15] <dr_willis> briman0094:  what exactly did you download? id just use the repos version....
[16:15] <Dantix> I'm still with no dns resolution. apt removed network-manager, added dns to resolv.conf... any other ideas. Actually I'm at server console.
[16:15] <briman0094> i didn't know it was on the repo
[16:15] <briman0094> i used http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Download
[16:16] <keda87> anyone can u help me to delete old kernel?
[16:16] <auronandace> !packages | briman0094
[16:16] <john_rambo> e20100633, there are no entries there
[16:16] <briman0094> i can't find it on the software center
[16:16] <briman0094> i'll look in synaptic
[16:16] <dr_willis> sudo apt-get install testdisk
[16:17] <e20100633> john_rambo: the file is empty? do you have something in /etc/host.deny then?
[16:17] <dr_willis>  no need to look. :) the bot said the name of the package..
[16:17] <jan_green> i am running 11.10 with gnome 3.2 and had some small dual monitor issues, so i tried to install the proprietary driver for my graphics card (ati radeon hd 5770) but this failed (without reason, it just failed). after reboot graphics totally crashed down. getting artifacts, typo not correctly displayed... but a look into propr. drivers screen showed nothing selected. i switched back to unity which not even showed me a bar. only mou
[16:17] <briman0094> don't think its avaliable on the 10.10 livecd
[16:17] <dr_willis> !10.10
[16:17] <dr_willis> !info testdisk maverick
[16:17] <dr_willis> Its in the maverick universe repo.
[16:18] <lesshaste> I have a DVD with some episodes of a TV programme on it. What's the easiest way to rip some of them to xvid or something similar
[16:18] <joar> i'm having trouble installing the ATI/AMD proprietary drivers (post-release update)
[16:18] <dryicebomb> !list
[16:19] <joar> the "ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics drivers" work fine, but the post-release does not.
[16:19] <ActionParsnip> lesshaste: k9copy perhaps
[16:19] <lesshaste> dryicebomb: it wasn't a file sharing question!
[16:19] <helo> i added "deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian oneiric contrib" to my sources, but there's no virtualbox-4.1 package available, even though the package is apparently present
[16:19] <auronandace> joar: then use the ones that work fine
[16:19] <dr_willis> lesshaste:  k9copy, dvdrip other tools in the repos..
[16:19] <lesshaste> ActionParsnip: oh ok.. I thought they just ripped whole dvds.. let me check again
[16:20] <dr_willis> lesshaste:  i tend to use k9copy
[16:20] <lesshaste> dr_willis: thanks.. I am checking it out
[16:20] <joar> auronandace: I need the post-release updates for gnome shell to work properly.
[16:20] <hadidonk> keda87: that is my Q too
[16:20] <john_rambo> e20100633, same thing with hosts.deny there are no entries there only descriptions with # in the begining
[16:20] <e20100633> john_rambo: well...
[16:20] <joar> lesshaste: try http://transcoder.com
[16:20] <dr_willis> lesshaste:  often i use k9copy to backup to an iso file.. then i rencode/rip from that iso file.. faster that way  for me.
[16:20] <auronandace> joar: i'm glad i use nvidia and xfce then
[16:20] <joar> lesshaste: Sorry http://transcoder.org
[16:20] <hadidonk> so the last kernel maverick is 2.6.35-30?
[16:21] <lesshaste> dr_willis: can you just rip individual episodes?
[16:21] <dr_willis> lesshaste:  theres arista also . but not tried it much.
[16:21] <dr_willis> lesshaste:  prob can.  i rarely bother with just 1.
[16:21] <dr_willis> my mediaplayer can play iso files. :)
[16:21] <joar> auronandace: Great!
[16:21] <lesshaste> dr_willis: it's more that I want to separate them
[16:21] <lesshaste> dr_willis: the whole thing is too big to put on my phone :)
[16:21] <dr_willis> try the tools and see..
[16:21] <Gorkyman> does ubuntu supports ssd ?
[16:21] <dr_willis> winff and arista have  converter profiles for most phones.
[16:22] <joar> lesshaste: http://transcoder.org can do that, and it's open source, written in Python.
[16:22] <dddbmt> I need to install ubuntu on my work pc. I'm looking for a stable version, and not to use unity. Should I go for 11.10 or 10.04?
[16:22] <dr_willis> lesshaste:  one issue is that the default ffmpeg and mencoder I think do not have all the differnt file type support compiled in.
[16:22] <auronandace> Gorkyman: yes
[16:22] <style> Hi, does anyone know some software which could stream (flash) stream your videos (from fs)? (http/web server)
[16:22] <e20100633> john_rambo: I'm sorry, I have no idea; but look, try to open a thread on the forum with all your informations (rpcinfo, files' contents, etc), maybe you'll find someone with more skills than me...
[16:22] <Gorkyman> auronandace: and all functionalities?
[16:22] <lesshaste> dr_willis: ah.. ok that sounds serious
[16:22] <dr_willis> transcoder.org = arista  :) in the repos.
[16:23] <joar> style: Wowza media server, it's free for developers.
[16:23] <auronandace> Gorkyman: not sure of the specifics
[16:23] <dr_willis> im not sure if arista uses ffmpeg, mencoder, or somthing else.
[16:23] <john_rambo> e20100633, Okay/Thanks
[16:23] <joar> dr_willis: it uses GStreamer.
[16:24] <dr_willis> so its 'somthing else' :)
[16:24] <joar> dr_willis: something far better imo :)
[16:24] <luis_> dddbmt: I use 11.04 and it works great
[16:24] <dr_willis> I was comparing winff and arista.  to android video.
[16:24] <dddbmt> luis_, okay. I'll try that then, thanks! :)
[16:25] <pikaciu> dddbmt: and you can disable unity
[16:25] <fourthnation> Im having a bit of a problem installing Java, im trying with "sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre" but it looks after it in E: and not on the internet, its very strange.
[16:25] <dddbmt> pikaciu, that would be great! I'll get back when I get to that ;)
[16:25] <joar> fourthnation: It's probably E: as in error.
[16:26] <joar> fourthnation: What's the error message?
[16:26] <fourthnation> unable to locate package E: Unable to locate package openjdk-6-jre
[16:26] <infinii> how do I tell which partition my grub is installed on?

[16:27] <fourthnation> yes, it cant find it :<
[16:27] <joar> ActionParsnip: please direct your replies to fourthnation
[16:27] <fourthnation> network connection is good. i can ping stuff. :/
[16:28] <ActionParsnip> fourthnation: can you get normal updates?
[16:28] <joar> ActionParsnip: my jdk setup is fine :)
[16:28] <ActionParsnip> joar: ty dude
[16:28] <fourthnation> ActionParsnip; now something is happening
[16:28] <jan_green> i am running 11.10 with gnome 3.2 and had some small dual monitor issues, so i tried to install the proprietary driver for my graphics card (ati radeon hd 5770) but this failed (without reason, it just failed). after reboot graphics totally crashed down. getting artifacts, typo not correctly displayed... but a look into propr. drivers screen showed nothing selected. i switched back to unity which not even showed me a bar. only mou
[16:29] <ActionParsnip> fourthnation: sweet
[16:29] <Insayne> Hello, i tried installing Ubuntu using Wubi (from the ubuntu website), I installed it on a regular Sata HDD, now the windows bootmanager has been changed, however, i end up in grub, telling me to hit "tab" for more options, thus I don't even get into ubuntu
[16:29] <Insayne> could someone help me with that?
[16:29] <fourthnation> ActionParsnip: thanks mate
[16:31] <dr_willis> Hmm. Arista just convedrted a video for me.. i go to play it.. says 'no playable streams' :) lets try again.
[16:32] <Insayne> dr_willis, you might have the encoder, but not the decoder
[16:33] <Insayne> so you can encode into the said format, but not play it
[16:33] <luis_> Insayne: When the install was running did you choose the default settings?
[16:34] <Insayne> luis_, no I installed it on another Harddisk, the rest was as-is (except password)
[16:35] <ActionParsnip> fourthnation: no worries, glad to help
[16:35] <shadowhywind1> has anyone used disper before?
[16:35] <Insayne> It is a 3TB Drive which is formatted to NTFS
[16:36] <auronandace> shadowhywind1: i haven't used disper before
[16:36] <shadowhywind1> dang, it looks like what i'm looking for to switch between displays, but i can't figure out how to tell ot which display to use
[16:37] <zenloop> all: does anyone know if linux can achieve 100% memory usage?
[16:37] <zenloop> or does the swapper have a fail safe into swap
[16:37] <usertwo> i just upgraded to 11.10 64bit and now my wireless isnt working. is this a bug on64bit because it works fine on my 32bit netbook
[16:37] <luis_> Insayne: That is strange
[16:37] <Insayne> luis_, indeed :(
[16:38] <Insayne> i just sit at a grub prompt when i want to run it
[16:38] <ActionParsnip> zenloop: it will use RAM as disk cache and release it as apps need it
[16:38] <infinii> how do I tell if my kernel has support for EFI built in?
[16:38] <auronandace> usertwo: wireless works fine here for me
[16:38] <ActionParsnip> usertwo: what wireless chip? What netbook?
[16:38] <krasnozer> could some one tell me what is gvfsd-htt and why does it mantain an open connection to some canonical server at all time ?
[16:38] <Insayne> luis_, so you dont know either what I should do ?
[16:39] <ActionParsnip> usertwo: details please
[16:39] <luis_> Insayne: If you disconnect the the drive from your system can you boot up the old OS?
[16:39] <usertwo> ActionParsnip: Asus 1005ha...but the 64bit was working perfectly on 11.04
[16:40] <ActionParsnip> usertwo: ok, if you run:  sudo iwlist scan    do you see wireless networks?
[16:40] <Insayne> luis, the old os being windows?
[16:40] <luis_> Insayne: Yes
[16:40] <Insayne> yeah, the boot partition is on the windows drive
[16:40] <Insayne> i am going to retry it and use C:\ as storage point
[16:40] <Bear10> llutz_, im starting to think my issue isnt dns but rather a network discovery thing of some sort, because when i disable my firewall linux finds me
[16:41] <Insayne> I lack the space on C, so its not very much what I hoped for :(
[16:41] <Bear10> something in my windows firewall is blocking me and im not sure how to fix it
[16:41] <fourthnation> strange, the "get"-command doesnt work for me, have always done that by default when i've installed ubuntu, now it says File "<string>", line 1 in <module> importError: no module named asrun
[16:41] <dr_willis> i alwyas seem to just diable the windows firewall...
[16:42] <usertwo> does upgrading change the UP address og the laptop?
[16:42] <usertwo> ip address
[16:42] <luis_> Insayne: Don't use Wubi  I you use a Ubuntu CD to install it will see the new hard drive and you can choose that for a install.
[16:42] <Insayne> i dont have any bootable media around
[16:42] <Insayne> thus wubi being my choice
[16:43] <pikaciu> Insayne: why don't download iso ?
[16:43] <Insayne> no empty DVD
[16:43] <ActionParsnip> usertwo: the IP is given via DHCP from your router
[16:43] <luis_> Insayne: You can download The 11.04 iso
[16:43] <ActionParsnip> usertwo: so it's whatever your router assigns
[16:43] <Insayne> Yes, and then? It has an installer for windows ?
[16:44] <usertwo> ActionParsnip: sorry, i meant to write MAC address!
[16:44] <ActionParsnip> usertwo: did you see wireless networks with the command I gave?
[16:44] <SpiderFred> is there a way to add some program to linux withou having to install it? only by moving files and manualy writing to files?
[16:44] <barab> server irc.rizon.net
[16:44] <ActionParsnip> usertwo: the MAC address is put into the device when it is made
[16:44] <ActionParsnip> usertwo: it will be the same in any OS at any version
[16:44] <pikaciu> Insayne: the installer will ask you what you want to do with your win partition
[16:45] <usertwo> brb
[16:45] <luis_> Insayne: During the install it will see both your HDD's choose your new drive for the install. Then you will have dual boot options
[16:45] <Insayne> okay
[16:45] <joar> I'll just switch to KDE!
[16:45] <Insayne> i am gonna try it
[16:45] <Guest39081> hi
[16:45] <jimmy8888> is it possible to transfer (correctly encoded) video file to an ipod in ubuntu? if so how do i do it?
[16:46] <pikaciu> Insayne: at start grub will let you the choice
[16:46] <zenloop> Action: yah, but is there ever a point where it hits 100%
[16:46] <diverdude> Hello, which android does samsung galaxy s 2 use? and is the galaxy s2 the best android phone there is atm?
[16:46] <dr_willis> !ipod
[16:47] <zenloop> Action: I should clarify, I am setting up memory monitoring but it seems useless because memory always hovers around 98%.  My swap monitor is much more telling.
[16:47] <joar> diverdude: OT?
[16:47] <dr_willis> diverdude:  ask in #android
[16:47] <jimmy8888> dr_willis: no problems transferring music to ipod with banshee. just wondering what the process is for video files...
[16:48] <ActionParsnip> zenloop: sure, if you run more apps than your RAM and swap space can handle
[16:48] <usertwo> ActionParsnip: i tried the command you issued...it reads the wireless
[16:48] <ActionParsnip> usertwo: so it finds your access point?
[16:48] <kltrg> After upgrading to oneiric, my network manager applet disappeared. What can I do about it and is there a way to reset all network configuration. It seems that something went wrong during the upgrade process. I didn't replace the corresponding config file.
[16:48] <shp> hi
[16:48] <usertwo> ActionParsnip: to be more accurate i should say the connection keeps dropping
[16:48] <shp> when i plug in my pc in hdmi with my tv, i don't see the whole screen on the TV .... help me pls
[16:48] <ActionParsnip> usertwo: ahhhh why didnt you say that in the first instance?
[16:49] <dr_willis> jimmy8888:  no idea. I wont buy anything from apple.
[16:49] <usertwo> ActionParsnip: my apologies...!
[16:49] <Newbeeans_> jimmy8888: I hate the iPad
[16:49] <ActionParsnip> usertwo: when the link drops. run:  dmesg | tail     and it may give clues
[16:49] <luis_> shp: did you try changing the resolution on you PC ?
[16:49] <wriggle> Hello i have on a quick question, why does it say on the homepage 32bit is recommend? are there any bugs for 64bit?
[16:49] <usertwo> ActionParsnip: i have edited the connection to try other security protocols but that doesnt seem to help
[16:50] <Insayne> wriggle, driver support?
[16:50] <usertwo> wep 128 encryption
[16:50] <shp> luis_, => in "display" they propose me only the highest resolution
[16:50] <dr_willis> wriggle:  idiot proofing, if someone has NO idea what the differance is.. then they get reccomened 32bit whch shuld always work
[16:50] <llutz_> wriggle: it'll work on all machines, 64 bit only on 64bit-capables
[16:50] <dr_willis> wriggle:  now a days. if you have 64bit hardware.. use 64bit i say..
[16:50] <jimmy8888> dr_willis and newbeeans_: yes i share your dislike for apple, fortunately this is the only apple device i own. i dont see myself throwing it away on moral grounds however
[16:50] <wriggle> alright, thanks
[16:50] <luis_> shp: Try changing to a lower resoultion
[16:50] <wontoner_> Does anyone know how I can get spanish characters to display properly in telnet?
[16:51] <wontoner_> I'm telnetting to a spanish server and the accented characters keep showing up as question marks
[16:51] <wontoner_> running ubuntu netbook
[16:51] <dr_willis> wontoner_:  what teminal/telnet client are you using?
[16:51] <ActionParsnip> usertwo: disabling ipv6 as well can help. You can set the boot option: ipv6.disable=1 in /etc/default/grub inside the quotes with:  quiet splash   then run:  sudo update-grub
[16:51] <shp> luis_, how?
[16:51] <wontoner_> dr_willis: the basic telnet command in the shell
[16:51] <joar> wontoner_: Are you really using telnet, or SSH?
 luis_, => in "display" they propose me only the highest resolution
[16:51] <wontoner_> joar: telnet
[16:52] <usertwo> ActionParsnip: ipv6 is already off
[16:52] <joar> wontoner_: It depends on character encodings, but it's hard to tell where the problem is.
[16:53] <luis_> shp: What OS and graphics card are you using?
[16:53] <dr_willis> i wonder if 'putty' in the repos might be a little smarter about it...
[16:53] <joar> wontoner_: Are characters you are typing into the shell becoming question marks directly as you type, or in the response from the remote server?
[16:53] <ActionParsnip> usertwo: good, the dmesg output should say what's what. I suggest you use a wired connection and get fully updated. May help
[16:53] <dr_willis> a server running telnet.. is a little scary  in this day and age.
[16:53] <joar> wontoner_: ISO-8859-1 special characters often become question marks when interpreted as UTF-8
[16:55] <wontoner_> joar: the text I'm receiving from the remote server has the question marks
[16:56] <joar> wontoner_: You are probably using UTF-8 and the remote server is probably using something like ISO-8859-1
[16:56] <dr_willis> server is sending iso-8859-1 and the ubuntu terminal is expecting utf-8 perhaps.. :)
[16:56] <usertwo> ActionParsnip: i will try that..dmesg is saying the MAC address is not recognised, and my router only connects to certain mac addresses
[16:57] <dr_willis> I know putty for windows has settings to change the encoding. wonder if putty on linux does also..
[16:57] <wontoner_> joar: Do I have to send a sepcial command to telnet when i start it?
[16:57] <joar> wontoner_: I'm checking
[16:57] <p1ruj3> 11.10 nautilus transfer rate of 670kB usb 2.0 to usb 2.0 drive... any idea what the heck is slowing this down?
[16:57] <usertwo> ActionParsnip: there is an option in network manager to input the mac address so i will try that
[16:57] <joar> wontoner_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1051546
[16:57] <p1ruj3> I think usb 1 is like 10-12 mbit...
[16:58] <hrolf> Anyone else having problems with logging into reddit in Ubuntu?
[16:58] <dr_willis> p1ruj3:  noticeing im getting 4.75 MB/S here right now.. according to 'mc'
[16:58] <hrolf> or specifically with Firefox?
[16:58] <obiwlan> hi there! i can not use keyboard shortcuts (anything with ctrl) in my kvm guest anymore since oneiric. Does someone have an idea how to solve that?
[16:59] <joar> hrolf: No, what problems are you experiencing?
[16:59] <qmr> My flash is all FUBAR... stutters in playback, then stops playing back... then plays without audiot.. then will not play unless I move the slider on progress bar.. then plays for a few moments...
[16:59] <qmr> how do I 'reset' everything, as it were?
[17:00] <joar> qmr: What flash?
[17:00] <hrolf> joar: It keeps loading (I can see the loading circle, it doesn't stops). Same issue with cic.gc.ca (when I access a https link)
[17:00] <qmr> joar: hm?
[17:00] <hrolf> joar: similarly when I open facebook I'm directed to the security page which is also a https, and keeps loading forever
[17:00] <joar> hrolf: Can you access any https page?
[17:00] <ActionParsnip> usertwo: could disable the mac filter to test
[17:01] <hrolf> but when I do facebook.com (after logged in) it is no longer https and I can use it
[17:01] <ActionParsnip> usertwo: ifconfig   will tell you the current mac address
[17:01] <hrolf> joar: Yes, Gmail works fine though.
[17:01] <qmr> hmm... ok, I am playing a flash video now and seems to almost work in firefox..  playback is stuttering but it might be remote server
[17:01] <wontoner_> got it, I had to change the settings in my terminal window
[17:01] <wontoner_> that you guys very much
[17:01] <qmr> so problem might be localized to chromium
[17:01] <wontoner_> my character encoding was indeed set to UTF in my terminal window, and i had to change it to western
[17:01] <joar> qmr: What flash application has those problems? Is it the YouTube player, any other player, or any flash embed?
[17:02] <qmr> joar: any video it seems
[17:02] <p1ruj3> dr_willis that's still slow.... heh for me its saying 221 hours to copy 400 gigs.... should be like 6
[17:02] <joar> hrolf: Sounds like a problem with your browser's HTTPS
[17:02] <pikaciu> qmr: with chrome ?
[17:02] <qmr> chromium
[17:02] <hrolf> joar: I'm using Firefox (the version which comes with Ubuntu 11.10)
[17:02] <hrolf> joar: How do I go about troubleshooting it?
[17:03] <pikaciu> qmr: i had the same problem.
[17:03] <joar> hrolf: Googling for something "Firefox HTTPS ubuntu problem" might help.
[17:03] <ghostnik11> hi i wanted to know, if its possible using pidgin as a client to send files to google talk users, like for example say i added my google talk info to pidgin would i be able to send files to other gtalk users
[17:03] <dr_willis> p1ruj3:  i got other stuf accessing mine. :) its my system disk  on a 32gb flash drive.. there have been many bug reports about very slow usb drive access speeds.
[17:03] <qmr> pikaciu: did you find a way to resolve it?  this problem only started some hours ago.. til then things were fine
[17:03] <pikaciu> qmr: no i use mozilla
[17:04] <obiwlan> it look like compiz is eating my ctrl-key presses and doesn't put them through to my kvm guest anymore :(
[17:04] <ActionParsnip> joar: what videos are having issues?
[17:04] <pocoyo> ghostnik11: it likely cannot do that.
[17:04] <qmr> pikaciu: are you saying you had the problem in ... yea ok.  flash just messed up again.  video is playing, but there is NO SOUND.
[17:04] <michael_mbp> hi all.  When a mail server sends out mail and the receiving server does a reverse lookup, what ports on the sending server must be open?
[17:04] <qmr> HOW.DO.I.FIX.THIS. :(
[17:04] <ActionParsnip> joar: I only use Chromium :)
[17:04] <joar> ActionParsnip: please talk to qmr about that.
[17:04] <hexacode> whats wrong with this cron entry?   0-59 * * * * '/bin/bash $HOME/terminal.sh'
[17:04] <michael_mbp> I'm getting Connection refused errors with sendmail
[17:04] <ActionParsnip> qmr: wassup dude?
[17:04] <pikaciu> qmr: but with firefox it works ?
[17:05] <qmr> pikaciu: no, same problems with firefox
[17:05] <joar> hexacode: what do you want it to do?
[17:05] <pikaciu> qmr: oh... i thouth it was a chrome problem
[17:05] <michael_mbp> anyone?
[17:05] <ActionParsnip> qmr: can you give a PASTEBIN of:  uname -a; lsb_release -a; dpkg -l | egreg 'flash|gnash|swf|spark'
[17:05] <hexacode> joar just run that bash script
[17:05] <hexacode> not running though
[17:05] <joar> hexacode: how often?
[17:05] <hexacode> every minute
[17:06] <hexacode> joar
[17:06] <joar> hexacode: then it should be * * * * * /bin/bash [...]
[17:06] <pikaciu> qmr: maybe it's about codecs
[17:06] <hexacode> is the most rightside part correct?
[17:06] <dr_willis> hexacode:  im not sure that $HOME is valid in a cron job..
[17:06] <madmike117> u mean egrep
[17:06] <ActionParsnip> hexacode: do you have a desktop UI?
[17:06] <qmr> pikaciu: no, it worked fine until recently
[17:06] <joar> hexacode: the 0-59 part is incorrect and should be replaced by a star.
[17:06] <hexacode> ActionParsnip:  yes
[17:06] <joar> or asterisk
[17:06] <ghostnik11> pocoyo: uh man, b/c i tried yesterday to send a file to someone on gtalk client in windows while i was on empathy signed in with my gtalk information and the file transfer window would come up but then get stuck at 90 kb so figured pidgin would be better to accomplish such tasks when i needed to do such things
[17:06] <hrolf> joar: Nope. Couldn't get any good results. Though after like 5 minutes I'm logged in.
[17:06] <ActionParsnip> hexacode: use gnome-schedule
[17:07] <hrolf> joar: I shall check the other websites too.
[17:07] <hexacode> thanks oth of you
[17:07] <joar> hrolf: It seems that your HTTPS is working fine but is _really_ slow then.
[17:07] <pocoyo> ghostnik11: oh. i haven't try .
[17:08] <qmr> ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/719000/
[17:08] <hrolf> joar: Seems like. I should try another browser.
[17:08] <joar> hrolf: Why it would be really slow I'm having a hard time finding out though, but check the rest of the sites.
[17:08] <hrolf> joar: Is there Opera for Ubuntu?
[17:08] <joar> hrolf: That might be a good idea.
[17:08] <qmr> I assume you meant egrep, not egreg :P
[17:08] <joar> hrolf: Yes, absolutely.
[17:08] <pikaciu> qmr: http://www.liberiangeek.net/2011/03/install-adobe-flash-player-ubuntu-11-04-natty-narwhal/
[17:08] <joar> hrolf: There's also Chromium
[17:08] <ghostnik11> pocoyo: is there any client in ubuntu/linux that is similar to empathy (which i like a lot b/c it goes with gnome 3 on ubuntu 11.04) and allows file transfer with gtalk users
[17:09] <qmr> pikaciu:  ....
[17:09] <joar> ghostnik11: No, GTalk doesn't allow file transfers.
[17:09] <hrolf> joar: Ubuntu Software Center cannot find any Opera, strange.
[17:09] <madmike117> w
[17:09] <ActionParsnip> qmr: sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-installer; sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[17:09] <pocoyo> ghostnik11: sorry,i really don't know.
[17:09] <joar> hrolf: It's not there by default since it's not free software.
[17:09] <ActionParsnip> qmr: worked here in natty, or enable the partner repository and install adobe-installer
[17:10] <pikaciu> qmr: :P

[17:11] <Atharva> Hi..I can access a file in a network using "nautilus smb://<ip address>/ . Now I have connected 2 computers using Wifi..How to access each other ??
[17:12] <hrolf> joar: Ah, I see. Thanks.
[17:12] <qmr> dang, when did the flash installer get so big?  14,000K or so
[17:12] <meowsus> I have a strange problem I might not be able to describe very well: I'm running Oneiric with Unity, and when, say, a gnome terminal window is maximized and a command produces a lot of information on the screen, the text sometimes becomes garbled, on the left side - at almost exactly at the width of the Unity bar. I have to scroll up and down to make the terminal show the information properly. I'll take a screenshot.
[17:12] <meowsus> ... if i can reproduce it
[17:12] <jiltdil> qmr?????
[17:12] <bassliner> meowsus: screenshot would pretty much help. :)
[17:13] <qmr> Atharva: "access" in what sense?
[17:13] <bassliner> when moving a window in ubuntu 11.10 with unity, it is easily possible to "lose" the window under the mouse pointer by moving the window around a bit, especially to the upper screen border. the cursor then is like 100px "over" the window or so, making moving windows feel terrible. any idea what component is causing this?
[17:13] <Atharva> qmr : Access shared files .
[17:13] <qmr> Atharva: well you have to make shares, and then connect to them
[17:13] <ghostnik11> joar: oh, yeah i just read it on pidgins faq saying google talk client doesn't use standard xmpp for file transfers, this is perfect example why everything should be more open source b/c its not ubuntu or linux community fault for this problem its google causing problem
[17:13] <Atharva> qmr : How to do that ?
[17:13] <meowsus> bassliner, dang, easier said than done, it happens pretty randomly it seems
[17:13] <Eclipze> hey guys, question, I was in the middle of upgrading to Ubuntu 11.1 when my laptop overheated and shut off, because it was installing files my ubuntu is nonoperational and can't be accessed. What is the best way to repair?
[17:14] <jiltdil> Atharva,  Are both comp in wifi?
[17:14] <qmr> Atharva: google for a samba guide and get started reading.  I think in the GNOME shell nautilus you can right click -> share or such
[17:14] <qmr> Atharva: what is your real purpose?
[17:14] <xenoxaos> Eclipze, first step, clean your heatsink...second step, choose upgrade from the installer
[17:14] <bassliner> meowsus: i'm not able to screenshot my issue, too, because pointer will not be grabbed in such situations. even scrot doesn't have an option to include the pointer. :(
[17:14] <jiltdil> Atharva,  And in home network or public network?
[17:15] <Eclipze> xenoxaos, thanks
[17:15] <Atharva> qmr : I can access those files using a LAN cable...Now I want to access using wifi...
[17:15] <Atharva> jiltdil : Hame
[17:15] <meowsus> bassliner, check out shutter, i think theres an option to save the cursor in the screenshot
[17:15] <Atharva> home*
[17:16] <qmr> Atharva: it shouldn't be any different, assuming the wifi and ethernet are the same net
[17:16] <jiltdil> Atharva,  use nfs share if both are linux, or u can use samba also make samba share
[17:16] <pikaciu> Atharva: did you config the wifi ?
[17:16] <qmr> or you can use ssh, which requires no additional setup
[17:16] <qmr> has hella overhead though.  try watching a movie over ssh
[17:18] <ActionParsnip> qmr: you can, use the ascii output ;)
[17:18] <Atharva> pikaciu : See..1st I Created a new wifi connection..2nd connected the other laptop to the same natwork (Which the wifi reciever identified)..Now what next ?
[17:19] <qmr> Atharva: just connect the same way you did before
[17:19] <Atharva> qmr : nautilus smb://<ip add>/ ??
[17:20] <qmr> that's one way, sure
[17:20] <pikaciu> Atharva: ping
[17:20] <ActionParsnip> qmr: try: mplayer -vo aa:driver=curses video.avi    over SSH ;)
[17:20] <pikaciu> Atharva: ping to check the two pc
[17:20] <jiltdil> Atharva,  Also check your iptables or just do hosts allow
[17:21] <qmr> uhhhhh huh.  and what about audio :P
[17:21] <pikaciu> Atharva: then configure smb.conf
[17:21] <meowsus> Well, here's another issue I've been experiencing <http://www.screenshots.cc/photos/thumb/50810-8wtc8.jpg> Whenever I'm working with full screen windows in Oneiric running Unity, this appears, but I'm not dragging a window over to the left side to enable this feature. The window is maximized every time i see this.
[17:22] <meowsus> I have to unminimize and then remaximize to fix it. Hitting ESC or clicking around does nothing.
[17:22]  * jiltdil Atharva  just need to go through docs, suggesting to study a bit
[17:23] <meowsus> bassliner, !!! I got it to do it again, but as soon as i hit printscreen it fixes itself!
[17:23] <hexacode> how do i echo a tab into a file   with this syntax   {   echo "`date`\t $entry" >> dumpfile }
[17:24] <meowsus> It's almost like the output is layered on top of itself
[17:24] <ActionParsnip> qmr: not worked that bit out, fun stuff though
[17:24] <ActionParsnip> qmr: stick subtitles on :)
[17:24] <pikaciu> Atharva: you can for now this: [global]
[17:24] <pikaciu> workgroup = UBUNTU
[17:24] <pikaciu> netbios name = ubu
[17:24] <pikaciu> security = share
[17:24] <pikaciu> [data]
[17:24] <pikaciu> comment = ubun
[17:24] <pikaciu> path = /home/pikaciu
[17:24] <pikaciu> read only = no
[17:24] <pikaciu> guest only = yes
[17:24] <jiltdil> Atharva,  Why not you are using nfs?
[17:25] <Atharva> !paste | pikaciu
[17:25] <pikaciu> sorry :|
[17:25] <wildbat> is there good tools for making flash in ubuntu/linux?
[17:26] <jiltdil> pikaciu, Atharva , if using /home/name u have to set selinux  context
[17:27] <bassliner> meowsus: you could try something like: sleep 5 && scrot screenshot.png
[17:27] <bassliner> meowsus: and then see if you can reproduce it within 5 secs
[17:27] <cvam> diff between grub-pc  and grun-install
[17:27] <p1ruj3> dr_willis okay, so really nothing i can do except get rid of 11.10 ?
[17:28] <pikaciu> Atharva: sometimes you have to mark your shared folder with share options in the menu
[17:28] <MICA> how would one change permission settings for COM ports?
[17:28] <bassliner> meowsus: shutter seems to be much to huge to justify an installation. it wants 40mbyte of binary stuff, which i think is not acceptable.
[17:28] <bassliner> +o
[17:28] <cvam> what is the difference  between grub-pc  and grub-install
[17:29] <Atharva> jiltdil pikaciu qmr : Thanks a lot :) ..Its working now :) :)
[17:29] <MICA> trying to access a port and it read "permission denied: /dev/ttyUSB
[17:29] <cvam> what is the difference  between grub-pc  and grub-install
[17:29] <jiltdil> Atharva,  Anytime :)
[17:29] <pikaciu> Atharva: what was wrong ?
[17:30] <meowsus> bassliner, I guess you're right. I use it for all of its easy screenshot editing capabilities, which are way quicker to use than GIMP
[17:30] <meowsus> I just knew it had a cursor capture setting
[17:30] <wildbat> MICA: put your user in proper group to get access
[17:30] <Atharva> pikaciu : I really dont know...It wasnt connecting few days before..But Now it did :)
[17:30] <infinii> Where should grub.cfg reside in a grub2+efi system? /boot/efi/grub/grub.cfg or /boot/efi/efi/grub/grub.cfg?
[17:31] <bassliner> meowsus: well thank you. :)
[17:31] <meowsus> ;)
[17:31] <lesshaste> when I try to play a video I get something that looks like http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/215/screenalx.png/
[17:31] <pikaciu> Atharva: maybe it was a devil penguin running in your systema !

[17:31] <Atharva> pikaciu  ;)
[17:31] <obiwlan> did something change reagarding ctrl-keyboard-combos recently? i can't use them in kvm guests anymore
[17:32] <bobweaver> pikaciu:  could we see a lspci -nn | grep VGA
[17:32] <cvam> what is the difference  between grub-pc  and grub-install
[17:32] <infinii> cvam: grub-pc is grub2
[17:33] <lesshaste> any idea what is wrong?

[17:33] <bobweaver> pikaciu: thanks
[17:33] <nixbox> i have modified my wifi driver to print some per packet information. I am using an old machine with 1G of ram and modest processor. When there is lot of traffic, i get less throughput on the wireless link because of the number of messages that have to be printk()'ed, is there a way around this, except reducing the frequency of my printk()s or printing a statisitical summary of the measured values?
[17:33] <cvam> infinii: i enter the command grub . but it says program is currently not installed. how is it possible ?
[17:34] <infinii> cvam: I'm not sure you're supposed to invoke grub like that. grub-install or update-grub
[17:34] <bobweaver> pikaciu: I know that this is kinda old but have you ruled this out ? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10517577
[17:34] <qmr> whoever advised to do flash reinstall, thanks
[17:35] <BridgeCollapse> nixbox: I guess re-compiling the kernel with the right choices for printk may help
[17:35] <qmr> video has played smoothly for about 3 minutes, and has 8 minutes buffered
[17:35] <nixbox> BridgeCollapse: right choices?
[17:35] <BridgeCollapse> also there may be a boot parameter you can use to make the userspace printk thread accept more messages
[17:35] <pikaciu> bobweaver: too hard for me
[17:36] <ActionParsnip> qmr: np man
[17:36] <qmr> ActionParsnip: I take it back.
[17:36] <ActionParsnip> qmr: take what back?
[17:36] <Newbeeans> am i here
[17:36] <qmr> as soon as I said that, I lost audio in flash video :|
[17:36] <ActionParsnip> Newbeeans: always
[17:36] <ActionParsnip> qmr: d'oh
[17:36] <bobweaver> pikaciu: what happens when you open additinal drivers ?
[17:36] <qmr> video playback is still fine, but ... no audio
[17:36] <Newbeeans> ActionParsnip: yes but sometimes i'm just a hangin' :))
[17:36] <pikaciu> bobweaver: nothing
[17:36] <stow> Does anyone know the name of the program in kde that automatically installs debian packages?
[17:37] <Apollonovich> kpackagekit
[17:37] <bobweaver> stow: dpkg ?
[17:37] <pikaciu> bobweaver: blank list
[17:37] <ActionParsnip> qmr: try closing the browser and run:   killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse; rm ~/.pulse-cookie
[17:37] <bobweaver> pikaciu: ahh
[17:37] <BridgeCollapse> nixbox: I would get the info for you, but I'm currently busy with soup, then I got stuff to do
[17:37] <stow> A program like ubuntu has
[17:38] <stow> I forgot the name
[17:38] <pikaciu> bobweaver: i'm using an old IBM NetVista
[17:38] <nixbox> BridgeCollapse: thanks anyways, I will look it up.
[17:38] <bobweaver> pikaciu: could we see /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf    pastebin please
[17:38] <qmr> ActionParsnip: still no sound
[17:38] <bobweaver> stow: what about gdebi
[17:39] <BridgeCollapse> what does "cat /proc/asound/cards" say ?
[17:39] <qmr> erm.. let me be more specific.  no sound in flash playback in browser
[17:39] <bobweaver> stow: https://launchpad.net/gdebi
[17:39] <ActionParsnip> qmr: try rebooting, fixes stuff
[17:40] <bassliner> biggest problem i have with unity is that the alt-tab switcher often happens to be BEHIND the currently focused window, making it impossible to see it (apart from the shine-through of the active transparent terminal), which is a complete no-go, and a bug where i have no idea how this passes any QA.
[17:40] <qmr> ... isn't the reason to use linux so that one doesn't need to reboot?
[17:40] <pikaciu> bobweaver: command not found
[17:40] <bobweaver> pikaciu: what what what
[17:40] <p1ruj3> qmr i was wondering the same thing :D
[17:40] <Apollonovich> is there a way to roll back updates?  yesterday there were updates to the kerberos client files, and today I can't authenticate.
[17:40] <bobweaver>  pikaciu cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
[17:41] <qmr> I'm working on a rather impressive 4d of uptime here
[17:41] <BridgeCollapse> I normally have my PC boot once, in the morning, and thats it.
[17:41] <pikaciu> bobweaver: yes
[17:41] <bobweaver> pikaciu: locate blacklist.conf
[17:41] <Shokorog> ubuntu is very automated compared to other linux distributions, so the old myths of ye are no longer valid in that sense. some things sadly require reboots, especially after a large update to the core
[17:41] <bobweaver> pikaciu: WHERE IS IT
[17:41] <bobweaver> caps sorry
[17:41] <qmr> I usually cheat and do init 1
[17:41] <pikaciu> # This file lists those modules which we don't want to be loaded by
[17:41] <pikaciu> # alias expansion, usually so some other driver will be loaded for the
[17:41] <pikaciu> # device instead.
[17:41] <pikaciu> # evbug is a debug tool that should be loaded explicitly
[17:41] <pikaciu> blacklist evbug
[17:41] <FloodBot1> pikaciu: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:41] <pikaciu> # these drivers are very simple, the HID drivers are usually preferred
[17:41] <BridgeCollapse> bbl->stuff to do
[17:42] <bobweaver> pikaciu: or     sudo   find  / -name blacklist.conf
[17:42] <Shokorog> hah
[17:42] <Shokorog> init 1 is a neat trick, can't say i used it though - i be a nooblar.

[17:50] <licastb> Cool!
[17:50] <p1ruj3> 1.0 should be around 12mbit/s, which is what it's transferring at now that im not copying through nautilus... but isn't 2.0 like 400mb/s ?

[17:57] <bluelight> i am not willing to re configure my entire desktop plruj3 and re install every app i have carefully set up. this "re-install everything" salution is one of the major reasons i left microSoft.
[17:57] <p1ruj3> jacobfogg run "sudo unity --replace" in terminal
[17:57] <coronam> you guys suck
[17:58] <bobweaver> bluelight:  you have looked at keyring and also sudoers file ?

[17:58] <pp7> can anyone get AIM to work in empathy?
[17:58] <bobweaver> coronam:  what what what ?
[17:58] <p1ruj3> bluelight might want to stick to only upgrading to LTS then bro, or do a little research before upgrading nexttime
[17:58] <pp7> keeps asking for password even though correct
[17:58] <coronam> yall suck
[17:58] <B0g4r7> pp7, I connect to an aim account using empathy without problems.
[17:58] <ActionParsnip> pp7: tried pidgin?
[17:58] <IRsee> yall aint a word
[17:58] <BlueEagle> !language | coronam
[17:59] <bluelight> bobweaver: keyring ... ok i know what that is. what is sudo-ers file ?
[17:59] <pp7> pidgin seems to work
[17:59] <Netoniel> ubuntu forever ))
[17:59] <pp7> what server are u using for AIM?
[17:59] <BlueEagle> IRsee: Actually that's a new package in 11.10. :p
[17:59] <coronam> aint aint in the dictionary
[17:59] <bobweaver> coronam:  you like going to school at allegheny
[17:59] <helo> how do i get a desktop oneiric install to just present me with normal console mode linux?
[17:59] <B0g4r7> pp7, whatever the default is.  I actually switched to pidgin the other week.
[17:59]  * DCore hi
[17:59] <bobweaver> coronam: good school ? do you have a question >
[17:59] <coronam> do you like being unaffiliated bobweaver?
[18:00] <B0g4r7> pp7, but empathy worked just fine.
[18:00] <p1ruj3> bluelight more specific details on your errors would certainly help - It could be as easy as modifying one of these -   /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.udisks.policy
[18:00] <Lithos84> helo: Remove GDM.
[18:00] <pp7> B0g4r7: can u check what server you're using please :)
[18:00] <B0g4r7> pp7, slogin.oscar.aol.com:5190
[18:00] <pp7> helo: remove ubuntu desktop
[18:01] <pp7> B0g4r7: hmm yea that's what i'm using
[18:01] <pp7> ah well
[18:01] <bluelight> ok plruj3 ... i will also check "/usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.udisks.policy"
[18:01] <bobweaver> bluelight:  the sudoers file holds a command if or not to ask for password I think that the keyring that ubuntu uses use e/passwd or /ect/shadow
[18:01] <BlueEagle> helo: If you would want X to start upon boot you would want to stop gdm from starting automatically.
[18:01] <helo> it seems to leave me on tty7 after boot
[18:02] <bluelight> bobweaver: thanks ... i will check for that file as well :)
[18:02] <vooze> I'm trying to run win xp in virtualbox on xubuntu 11.10 but it cant find my GFX card, is there anything im missing in virtualbox?
[18:03] <p1ruj3> blue light that policy is for mounting viewing etc disk drives
[18:03] <bobweaver> vooze: additanal software ?
[18:03] <p1ruj3> bluelight  ls /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/
[18:03] <bobweaver> vooze: I can rember what it is called look under machine
[18:03] <vooze> bobweaver: what additional software?
[18:04] <bluelight> well the two main programs i have the issue with are dealing with package managment and partition manipulation
[18:04] <vooze> bobweaver: look under machine??? what the heck are you talking about?
[18:04] <p1ruj3> change no to yes inside the udisks and see if that fixes it, note security concerns though.
[18:05] <bobweaver> vooze:  devices >> install guest additions
[18:05] <helo> looks like i can disable "quite splash" in /etc/default/grub to remove the vt.handoff, which leaves vt7 active until a console switch
[18:05] <helo> err quiet
[18:05] <bluelight> plruj3 thanks, i have added the directory listing to my notes :)
[18:06] <p1ruj3> package management? try just running "sudo synaptic" from terminal

[18:06] <__kozak__|work> Hi All, my ubuntu  Natty just hangs once everyday. I have a feeling it is to do with the browser. Can someone tell me how to get info on kernel panics/freeze

[18:07]  * bobweaver says funny looking link
[18:07] <p1ruj3> bobweaver yes
[18:07] <bluelight> i do ... synaptic is fantastic. though, i prefer to tackel my system when it decides to go about refusing to alow me control of it :)
[18:07] <vooze> bobweaver: its just an image :(
[18:07] <vooze> :) *
[18:07] <vooze> 2 sec, uploading elsewere if you want
[18:08] <Reaper> aww you cant do guest on an image?
[18:08] <p1ruj3> bobweaver pretty sure sudo would work tho :D
[18:08] <bluelight> synaptic is what i use when my prefered package managers fail for any reason.
[18:08] <bobweaver> p1ruj3:  cool idnkt
[18:08] <bluelight> :D beccause synaptic is the best for reliability ;)
[18:08] <bobweaver> thanks
[18:09] <p1ruj3> bobweaver main difference is if you have a terminal window open, or if you use ubuntu's "windows run" window heheh
[18:09] <bluelight> bobweaver: plruj3: thanks for the information. i am gone .. :)
[18:09] <panfist> i have a disk partitioned with LVM with ubuntu 10.10 on it, and i'd like to shrink that existing lvm paritition so that i can install ubuntu 11.10 side by side. i'm really having a hard time finding out how to do things with lvm,
[18:09]  * bluelight eats luch :p
[18:10] <bobweaver> p1ruj3:  and gksudo synaptic &       would also show what could be happening ?
[18:10] <panfist> which is funny because lvm was recommended because i thought it was supposed to simplify stuff like this
