[15:55] <ikonia> theadmin: depends on what's happened to the disk, it won't restore non-backed up data
[15:55] <ubuntu_> i tryed it but that erased my table
[15:55] <ubuntu_> :(
[15:56] <ubuntu_> so now i have one part with 900 gb
[15:56] <ubuntu_> and data
[15:56] <ubuntu_> no data*
[15:56] <iratsu> bastidrazor: thanks. I'll have a look at that next time it crashes
[15:56] <dr_willis> http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Step_By_Step
[15:57] <ubuntu_> yes yes i writed
[15:57] <naftilos76> hi everyone, is MTU manual edit going to help my wireless connection? The distance between the router and the laptop is 5-6 meters but there is a wall in the way! The wireless connection speed is anything but reliable. It is unstable meaning that sometimes i can surf without any problems but some times it is very annoying as the speed is somehow reduced. If i disconnect and connect back in the problem usually gets fixed. Any idea whether manual MTU
[15:57] <naftilos76> edit will help?
[15:57] <theadmin> ikonia: "non-backed up data"? That made no sense to me, um, what do you mean? If you have backups why would you need to use anything like disk recovery soft?
[15:57] <dr_willis> seen a lot of other 'testdisk tutorials' when i googled just now also.
[15:57] <ubuntu_> i used that tutorial eh
[15:57] <blallber> hey can anyone help me, I'm trying to get supervisord running on boot
[15:57] <Error404NotFound> which filesystem is more friendly to resizes, specially online resizes?
[15:57] <theadmin> !Upstart | blallber
[15:57] <sh00p> when I came to Spain, and I saw people party
[15:57] <ikonia> theadmin: if you have deleted the disk/partition and messed around and that data is not backed up, it will not restore data, it's not a magic data recovery tool, it's apartition layout tool, if your data is the same and your table is just lost, it may recover it
[15:58] <h00k> !ot | sh00p
[15:58] <dr_willis> Error404NotFound:  online resizes? You mean  while 'in use/mounted' ?
[15:58] <theadmin> ikonia: Ah, I see
[15:58] <Error404NotFound> dr_willis: correct
[15:58] <ubuntu_> so : in first screen i have all parts in next screen and etc i have only 900 gb part ,wat is at this time
[15:58] <blallber> why isn't supervisor automatically installed with an init script by the way?
[15:58] <blallber> *trying to understand*
[15:58] <ikonia> supervisor ?
[15:59] <naftilos76> can anyone help on the MTU setting?
[15:59] <auronandace> blallber: are you trying to log in as root? if so, don't; bad idea and not supported
[15:59] <ubuntu_> i know that is flood but anyone know utility wat repair hdd under windows?
[16:00] <ubuntu_> repairs mbr table etc
[16:00] <blallber> supervisord... the tool for starting processes
[16:00] <iratsu> are frequent compiz crashes a common bug?
[16:00] <blallber> I'm using it to run python processes
[16:00] <ubuntu_> i'm working from livecd halp me please
[16:02] <theadmin> blallber: "starting processes"? init does that.
[16:02] <webroasters> hi guys.  I was given a ";" delimited csv file, and when I go to say changes to the template (in Open Office), for some reason, a bunch of junk characters gets inserted into the file (you can see it when I open it in gedit). When I opened the file  in Microsoft Office, it was re-affirmed that open office saved a bunch of junk characters instead of how I wanted it saved. Can someone help me out here?
[16:02] <blallber> starting and monitoring.
[16:02] <blallber> I understand it's the standard way to run things like gunicorn
[16:02] <blallber> (a python wsgi server)
[16:02] <mang0> ubuntu_: Reinstall ubuntu?
[16:02] <webroasters> And yes, i'm in the openoffice irc chat, but no one is responding to me. THey seem to be asleep
[16:03] <webroasters> brb
[16:03] <andybrine> #joomla
[16:03] <bastidrazor> naftilos76: #networking may be a better channel
[16:03] <MonkeyDust> webroasters: type /j #libreoffice
[16:03] <ubuntu_> mang0: lol my part have very important info if i will do this,it erase my data
[16:04] <ubuntu_> but now i have some chances to restore it
[16:04] <mang0> !grub | ubuntu_
[16:04] <mang0> try reinstalling grub?
[16:04] <ubuntu_> nono,i asked about disk mbr table
[16:04] <ubuntu_> i have grub ye
[16:04] <ubuntu_> strange
[16:04] <theadmin> Hm... Someone should register the nicknames "ubuntu" and "ubuntu_", as apparently many different people sign on as those and it's confusing
[16:04] <MonkeyDust> ubuntu_: do you have more than one pc? if yes: ssh to your 'damaged' pc, backup the data and then reinstall ubuntu
[16:04] <ubuntu_> it still alive
[16:04] <usuario_> rio
[16:04] <memememe1> so i can be pretty sure that if i dont do anything other than opening the latest firefox i cant be affected with malware if i dont install security updates?
[16:04] <usuario_> usuario
[16:05] <ubuntu_> monkeydust: no im dont
[16:05] <dr_willis> ubuntu_:  if its that critical you can 'dd' the disk partition to a image file on a differnt hard drive and try to recover the data from teh image file
[16:05] <ubuntu_> dr_willis : how i will do this?
[16:05] <mang0> ubuntu_: Yeah, try reinstalling grub.
[16:05] <mang0> not installing, reinstalling
[16:06] <compdoc> ubuntu_, its probably easier and faster to use clonezilla to clone the drive or save an image of it
[16:06] <sburwood1> I have a problem with a Wifi USB key.  Could someone help me with that?
[16:06] <mrdeb> hi
[16:06] <webroasters> ah thanks!
[16:06] <mrdeb> what problem
[16:06] <auronandace> memememe1: security updates fix all sorts of bugs and things, including firefox
[16:07] <nitstorm> mang0: sorry, tough luck, just unsolved threads and posts. Please create a thread at ubuntuforums or post a question at askubuntu.com
[16:07] <manixor> Hey guys, I'm trying to build an audio CD with Brasero, and when I add an mp3 file I get: "..." could not be opened, "..." is not suitable for audio or video media, what can be wrong?
[16:07] <memememe1> auronandace: i dont need them. i want to be protected from malware basically
[16:07] <_Neytiri_> how can i modify the motd and permintally remove some information from it
[16:07] <Polah> How can I set up my Ubuntu to boot into tty1 rather than tty7?
[16:07] <mang0> nitstorm: Aw, shame, Thanks for your help though :) Might see if it is seen in by my mum's mac
[16:07] <ikonia> Polah: disable X11 on boot, (gdm by default)
[16:07] <dr_willis> Polah:  you mean display the console on tty1 because you are not starting up X ?
[16:08] <ubuntu_> mens,grub is loader .I haven't one part with 900 gb,i haves 6 parts by 150-400 gbs
[16:08] <h00k> !textonly | Polah
[16:08] <ubuntu_> chkdisk is just killed that
[16:08] <auronandace> memememe1: it is always a bad idea to not install security updates
[16:08] <sburwood1> mrdeb: This one ... http://paste.ubuntu.com/690100/
[16:08] <sburwood1>
[16:08] <memememe1> auronandace: my bandwidth is capped
[16:08] <h00k> !text | Polah
[16:08] <nitstorm> mang0: Hmmm, good thinking...
[16:09] <dr_willis> memememe1:  and how big a cap?
[16:09] <ubuntu_> so guys have another ideas,or another irc channels for me?
[16:09] <memememe1> dr_willis: 2gb a month and its almost over
[16:09] <sburwood1> mrdeb: I purchased a wifi key for my desktop computer.  Just got it.  I can't find "Enable wireless" nor recognition of this wifi key
[16:09] <mang0> ubuntu_: Try ##windows to fix mbr? or ##linux?
[16:09] <dr_willis> almost over and its the 15th? :) shame shame.. heh
[16:10] <[IFOC]75> hi, I think I made a mistake in configuring /etc/network/interfaces
[16:10] <sburwood1> mrdeb: I must be missing a driver, but I'm kind of a newbie at this
[16:10] <[IFOC]75> I'll paste the contents of the file
[16:10] <dr_willis> sburwood1:  you did run the addational-drivers tool?
[16:11] <sburwood1> dr_willis: What additional drivers tool?
[16:11] <dr_willis> sburwood1:  the ones in the menus somewhere..
[16:11] <ubuntu_> mang: lol no one in windows channels and no one in linux channel
[16:11] <dr_willis> sburwood1:  or from terminal 'jockey-gtk'
[16:11] <sburwood1> dr_willis: I'll do the second option.  Do I need to do it sudo ... or not?
[16:11] <[IFOC]75> http://pastebin.com/4fuew0Ks
[16:12] <dr_willis> sburwood1:  of course if it suggests some drivers to dowload.. well you need networking to dowload them.
[16:12] <[IFOC]75> when I use /etc/init.d/network restart
[16:12] <dr_willis> sburwood1:  never noticed.. proberly need sudo. :)
[16:12] <[IFOC]75> I get the error messages "Failed to bring up eht0", and "failed to bring up wlan0"
[16:12] <sburwood1> dr_willis: If I'm on the chat, I'm connected, but wired.  I want to do without wired and just use someone's unprotected wifi
[16:12] <[IFOC]75> I also get an error "SIOCDELRT: No such process"
[16:13] <xangua> sburwood1: i want someone unprotected pie :P
[16:14] <[IFOC]75> Does anyone see what I did wrong?
[16:14] <sburwood1> dr_willis: The only thing that comes up is my NVIDIA driver.  Says it's activated but not in use (NVIDIA)
[16:14] <MonkeyDust> [IFOC]75: please put your question in one line, it's easier to read :)
[16:14] <sburwood1> xangua: I'm in Belgium.  Couldn't give you any pie
[16:14] <DarkStar1> Are there any settings that I should be aware of on the sshd server that affect tunneling?
[16:15] <[IFOC]75> MonkeyDust: http://pastebin.com/4fuew0Ks 	I get the error messages "Failed to bring up eht0", and "failed to bring up wlan0" I also get an error "SIOCDELRT: No such process" Does anyone see what I did wrong?
[16:15] <[IFOC]75> the pastebin is /etc/network/interfaces/
[16:15] <InsektO> what do you guys prefer, chromium or google chrome?
[16:16] <sburwood1> dr_willis: And if you want to see what my 11.04 sees when it looks at the wifi key, http://paste.ubuntu.com/690100/
[16:16] <xangua> !poll | InsektO
[16:16] <alfplayer> InsektO: chromium work for me
[16:16] <auronandace> InsektO: we tend to endorse open-source solutions, so chromium (it's in the repos too)
[16:17] <dr_willis> ive gotten where i like Opera lately :)
[16:17] <[IFOC]75> I only use firefox
[16:17] <MK`> I was just scrolling down a text document when my gnome panel theme suddenly reset to the GTK+ default theme. Has this happened to anyone else before?
[16:17] <InsektO> yeap, i had that in mind, but considering that chrome is already in version 13 and chromium remains in 12
[16:17] <dr_willis> i rarely use firefox these days.
[16:17] <ubuntu_> mens u know where mbr backups?
[16:18] <InsektO> in fact i had no idea chrome existed for linux at all, until yesterday
[16:18] <ubuntu_> mbr backups are*
[16:18] <sburwood1> dr_willis: If jockey-gtk doesn't find the driver for the wifi key, I do what?
[16:18] <dr_willis> MK`:  ive heard of some bugs that do that.
[16:18] <Zephr0> Can someone help me find the drivers to get this webcam to work with all software? works beautifully in cheese but not online or anything.. laptop model is dv6736nr and ive googled it for a while all i have found is that the webcam is "built-in HP webcam"
[16:18] <dr_willis> sburwood1:  i would check the forums and  askubuntu.com for that exact device and see what others have done.
[16:18] <ubuntu_> :<
[16:18] <MK`> My theme randomly is the gtk+ default at boot, but this is only the second time it has happened to me while I was logged in.
[16:18] <dr_willis> Zephr0:  by 'online' you mean in some flash apps?
[16:19] <Zephr0> dr_willis, yeah like meebo and skype and such
[16:19] <ubuntu_> zephr from jka?
[16:19] <dr_willis> skype is not a flash app :)
[16:19] <MonkeyDust> sburwood1: i'm from belgium, too, if you speak dutch: type /j #ubuntu-nl
[16:19] <Zephr0> theres an online version of skype now that i use
[16:19] <Zephr0> that uses your skype account
[16:19] <sburwood1> dr_willis: I am willing to try, but I don't quite know what to put in the search.  Dlink? The ID 2001:3c17
[16:19] <dr_willis> scary :)    Not used skype in 2+ yrs.
[16:20] <Zephr0> its called imo
[16:20] <dr_willis> sburwood1:  exact make of the  thing from its box. and  the info from lsusb perhaps
[16:20] <sburwood1> MonkeyDust: I'm an American and speak English, French, and, thanks to my wife and her family - who comes from Italy, a little italian
[16:20] <[IFOC]75> I'm guessing that this problem happened because I gave the wireless and ethernet connection the same ip
[16:21] <markskilbeck> Hi, all. Is there a way to maximize a window to a certain side of the screen? You can drag a window to the side and it'll maximize it in that space (a la Win 7), but I'd like to configure a shortcut key for it. Any ideas?
[16:21] <Webonaute> hi guy. I have a mac mini server and try to access the share from my ubuntu. I can see the file, create direcoty but I cant edit or create file
[16:21] <Webonaute> on windows with same user, its possible
[16:21] <h00k> markskilbeck: you can use alt + number pad by default
[16:21] <[IFOC]75> it had no effect other than removing one SIOCADDRT error
[16:21] <sburwood1> dr_willis: I talked to someone in the computer dept where I work.  He talked about different chipsets and all that.  It's a D-Link and lsusb tells me that it is a D-Link
[16:21] <sburwood1> c u later, everyone
[16:21] <h00k> markskilbeck: the numbers 1-9, I'm pretty sure, do similar to what you're looking for
[16:21] <sburwood1> bye
[16:22] <dr_willis> sbsin:  dlink is a company.. not a chipset.
[16:22] <dr_willis> sbsin:  it could be any of several dozen differnt chipsets in the thing
[16:22] <markskilbeck> h00k: I'm not seeing it. Maybe because I'm on a laptop.
[16:22] <h00k> markskilbeck: probably, yeah. You can somehow probably enable num-lock and use some keys, but it depends on the laptop
[16:23] <alfplayer> Hi. I was wandering if it common to lose data when the PC (with recent versions of Ubuntu) loses power (e.g. because of blackouts).
[16:23] <dr_willis> alfplayer:  i never have.  but theres always a chance.
[16:23] <h00k> alfplayer: you could lose data, what filesystem are you using on your drive?
[16:23] <h00k> alfplayer: with ext3 and ext4, it has journaling, so you should be safer from losing data.
[16:24] <alfplayer> well, it's not a q for me personally
[16:24] <alfplayer> i'm discussing it in a forum thread
[16:24] <alfplayer> i'm wondering especially about ext4
[16:24] <alfplayer> which is ubuntu's default
[16:24] <dr_willis> alfplayer:  theres some mention of that issue on the ext4 wiki pedia page.
[16:24] <qdot> Hm.. I'm trying to understand (having stayed long on gentoo, but I don't have a lot of time anymore) what is Ubuntu's default process scheduling (both 11.04 and 11.10)
[16:25] <dr_willis> alfplayer:  but i think ext4 has been fixed where its not much of an issue these days
[16:25] <alfplayer> i know most (if not all) ext4 data corruption kernel bugs are solved
[16:25] <alfplayer> dr_willis: exactly
[16:25] <qdot> since it's highly nonintuitive - perhaps it went too far towards responsiveness
[16:25] <alfplayer> but apps are not always aware of this issue
[16:26] <h00k> alfplayer: apps don't, and shouldn't, care about the filesysetm used.
[16:26] <alfplayer> they don't always save files taking precautions
[16:26] <[IFOC]75> Every time I run /etc/init.d/networking restart, it gives me an error "SIOCADDRT" and fails to bring up all of my connections, does anyone know why this happens?
[16:26] <ubuntu_> !I have very important data on that parts please help me restore mbr!
[16:27] <zteam> Hi!
[16:27] <alfplayer> h00k: yes, but closing files correctly is something that app writers don't always know hot to do right
[16:28] <alfplayer> *how to do right
[16:28] <ubuntu_> maybe on 50 percents maybe on 25 but please help me
[16:28] <zteam> Anybody here know a easy way to burn dvds and adjust layerbreaks in Ubuntu?
[16:28] <auronandace> !please | ubuntu_
[16:28] <zteam> without using the terminal?
[16:28] <zteam> I used Qisoburn but I can't get it too work now?
[16:29] <dr_willis> Im not even sure what a Layerbreak is :)
[16:29] <h00k> alfplayer: sure, but that isn't anything to do with the filesystem :)
[16:29] <auronandace> zteam: xfburn works well for me (not sure about leyerbreaks though)
[16:30] <ubuntu_> someone knows utilites to restore data better than testdisk on ubunta
[16:31] <ubuntu_> ubuntu*
[16:31] <dr_willis> ubuntu_:  it would depend on how the disk is damaged
[16:31] <ubuntu_> only mbr table
[16:31] <alfplayer> h00k: sure, i'm saying that even though ext4 data corruption bugs are solved, there's still the issue of misbehaving apps, that's why i'm wondering
[16:31] <auronandace> !pm | ubuntu_
[16:31] <zteam> auronandace, okey, but I need to be able to set layerbreaks, not even K3b allows me to that
[16:31] <prod_> hi all, is it possible that using gparted to resize my hdd could have corrupted all my data. Since rearranging my 2TB HDD all my media has artifacts (Music is full of squeaks and videos are full of artifacts)
[16:31] <qdot> any ideas regarding a place to start looking for some control over process priority scheduling?
[16:31] <auronandace> zteam: sorry, don't even know what layerbreaks are
[16:32] <ubuntu_> dr_willis : only mbr table
[16:33] <ect0bi0l0gist> i think you can change process scheduling by echo-ing stuff to a file in /proc, but i'm new to ubuntu and don't know if that's even enabled in the kernel yet
[16:33] <ubuntu_> as i see it's quiet.yeah bad day today
[16:33] <ntr0py> Can i somehow mount cifs with write permissions for others? I tried "user=name,passwd=secret,iocharset=utf8,uid=1000,gid=1000,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777" in fstab without success (file_mode and dir_mode options have no effect at all...)
[16:34] <zteam> auronandace, okey
[16:34] <OerHeks> ubuntu_, best way is you can run testdisk from the Gparted Live iso, the partition need to be unmounted to rebuild the MBR, and follow the guid from dr_willis , but if testdisk cannot rebuild it, it is over, i think.
[16:34] <auronandace> qdot: with respect, i think the jump from gentoo to ubuntu is a bit big to make especially when you ask for some fine-grain controls
[16:34] <gartral> hello all, how does one install openjdk 7 in 11.04?
[16:34] <ubuntu_> OerHeks :give link to that gparted
[16:34] <ect0bi0l0gist> nvm i think i hallucinated that
[16:34] <dr_willis> http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Step_By_Step  seems like an ok tutorial.
[16:35] <ubuntu_> and how i will be burn dvd in ubuntu from cd?
[16:35] <dr_willis> ubuntu_:  what?   how do you burn a dvd from the live-cd you mean?
[16:35] <ubuntu_> yes
[16:35] <OerHeks> ubuntu_, http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[16:35] <dr_willis> I always backup to external USB HD. :)
[16:36] <auronandace> ubuntu_: boot from a liveusb to free up the cd drive
[16:36] <dr_willis> since a dvd is  too  small for most  needs
[16:36] <dr_willis> theres some option on the livcd-cd i thought to copy it to ram. but ive never tried it.
[16:36] <ntr0py> How can i mount CIFS as local 777
[16:36] <ntr0py> ?
[16:37] <h4x0l2> question for a dual boot - I have a hard disk with win 7 installed IDE and I have an ubuntu hard disk SATA, if I just simply plug in the ubuntu drive, will dual boot be an option?
[16:37] <ubuntu_> dr_willis : where is it?
[16:37] <OerHeks> ubuntu_, dr_willis , boot the gparted live cd, go to prompt and run testdisk
[16:37] <broglin> how can i change the color of the think scrollbars?
[16:37] <wynn> Is Beagle still supported for the 10.x releases?
[16:37] <broglin> *thin
[16:37] <compdoc> ntr0py, I think you have to set the permissions on the source, rather than local
[16:38] <compdoc> source=remote
[16:38] <ubuntu_> ok im download gparted live
[16:38] <h4x0l2> any1?
[16:38] <Webonaute> how I can make my locale network discovery more faster?
[16:39] <dr_willis> h4x0l2:  you could tell; the bios to boot whatever hd you want. :)
[16:39] <ubuntu_> haxor, of you install ubuntu under windows 7 all be good
[16:39] <dr_willis> h4x0l2:  or boot the ubuntu disk and rerun update-grub and it should scan and see both os's and have a grub menu with them both.
[16:40] <h4x0l2> beautiful
[16:40] <dr_willis> h4x0l2:  for my 2 disk machines. I tend to keep the 2 os's as seperate as possible. :)
[16:40] <dr_willis> i keep grub on teh Linux hard drive.
[16:40] <h4x0l2> linux rocks... unfortunatly WINE wont play GTA4 =\
[16:41] <h4x0l2> thats my plan as well, i just didnt want it to be formatted by windows -_-
[16:41] <ubuntu_> but linux abit better than win 7 by interface
[16:41] <ubuntu_> and workin
[16:41] <h4x0l2> agreed hands down
[16:41] <h4x0l2> i tried to port GTA4 to wine... no luck
[16:41] <h00k> !winehw | h4x0l2
[16:41] <h00k> er
[16:41] <dr_willis> !appdb
[16:41] <h00k> there we go.
[16:42] <h4x0l2> @h00k I tried the bug reports etc... the best anyone has done thus far is getting it to run with the lowest capacity, i'd rather not play the game that way
[16:43] <Jcook_5xData> I need some help I am unable to mount  any ext device like dvd and usb I check group(term) I am part of the plugdev I am not sure what wrong
[16:43] <KeyLimePi> Does anyone know why I might be having issues with the stereo buffer in openGL? Im trying to run a 3D program but when it attempts to render, I get the following: "Warning: Unable to get OpenGL visual with a stereo buffer, trying without //."
[16:43] <ikonia> window 14

[16:43] <theadmin> ikonia: irssi? A hint: just use /win, it's shorter than /window
[16:44] <prod_> hi all, is it possible that using gparted to resize my hdd could have corrupted all my data. Since rearranging my 2TB HDD all my media has artifacts (Music is full of squeaks and videos are full of artifacts)
[16:44] <dr_willis> prod_:  i wouldent think so.
[16:44] <theadmin> prod_: Which kind of a partition did you resize?
[16:44] <tantris> Any idea how to fix the "There is no ubuntu one paring record" message? The usual dbus-send trick did not work for me :-(
[16:44] <theadmin> prod_: Which filesystem did it have?
[16:44] <prod_> i resized ext4 to make room for ntfs
[16:45] <natalie> Hey guys, kinda new to Ubuntu, also a Windows phone owner, looking for a way to get Zune on lubuntu, google isn't helping much. Any ideas?
[16:45] <h4x0l2> Wine should run it natalie
[16:45] <dr_willis> natalie:  if its a windows app. use wine.
[16:45] <theadmin> prod_: Oh, huh, that's weird... Should have no trouble with that
[16:45] <ubuntu_> so im downloaded dat image
[16:45] <ubuntu_> mounted
[16:45] <prod_> I didnt think so
[16:45] <ubuntu_> wat next to do
[16:46] <ubuntu_> gparted image*
[16:46] <prod_> ok maybe my external caddy is causing the problem
[16:46] <prod_> thanx for your time
[16:46] <h4x0l2> prod_ did you listen to audio files while using gparted?
[16:46] <prod_> no
[16:46] <natalie> I know I can transfer media fiels through Wine; the software updates are another thing...
[16:46] <natalie> Files*
[16:46] <h4x0l2> use winetricks
[16:46] <mainrain> after creating a new file in /etc/security/limits.d/ to increase soft/hard number of open files, is there a command i need to run to 'read it in' somwhere?  because using su to become the user in question and checking ulimit -Hn or ulimit -Sn isn't getting the new limit
[16:46] <h4x0l2> install the needed microsoft apps into wine
[16:47] <ubuntu_> again quiet ,eh.
[16:47] <theadmin> h4x0l2: That made no sense at all.
[16:47] <theadmin> h4x0l2: You can't resize a partition that's mounted :/
[16:47] <dr_willis> transfer through wine? huh?
[16:47] <dr_willis> ubuntu_:  you want to burn the gparted iso to a cd. and boot it.. then use its tools as needed.
[16:47] <prod_> Im quite angry as i had 600GB of media which is now mostly unusable :S
[16:48] <ubuntu_> dr_willis : mounting wont work?
[16:48] <dr_willis> prod_:  you tried copying the files to a differnt machine?
[16:48] <gartral> hello all, how does one install openjdk 7 in 11.04?
[16:48] <megalinux> b
[16:48] <megalinux> oioioi
[16:48] <prod_> , ill try moving them now
[16:48] <dr_willis> ubuntu_:  i said.. burn and boot..  how you going to boot the iso if you mountit?
[16:48] <theadmin> gartral: Do NOT, just do not, it's too unstable, it's unusable
[16:48] <ubuntu_> dr_willis : ok i try
[16:48] <lyrae> how can i find out the path of a program? ie, "javac". i need the full path of that. is there a way?
[16:49] <dr_willis> lyrae:  'which binaryname'
[16:49] <theadmin> lyrae: "which javac" is the way
[16:49] <natalie> Guys, I'm a total noob. I have wine, no idea what to do from there. Windows phone 7, want to get music from disc drive to phone, can't find a walkthrough on the interwebs.
[16:49] <dr_willis> if its in your default PATH
[16:49] <lyrae> dr_willis, javac. but i am calling it from a subprocess, and thus need the full path to javac
[16:49] <megalinux> oi
[16:49] <dr_willis> lyrae:  the command is 'which ANDTHENAMEOFTHEBINARY' :)
[16:50] <megalinux> hello
[16:50] <dr_willis> i was not asking the name of the binary.. heh...
[16:50] <gartral> theadmin: I need it for my programming training. I'm quite awear of the stability issues
[16:50] <lyrae> theadmin, dr_willis thank you
[16:50] <theadmin> gartral: https://launchpad.net/~openjdk/+archive/ppa
[16:50] <h4x0l2> natalie install winetricks
[16:51] <theadmin> h4x0l2: You don't "install" winetricks, it comes with the Ubuntu wine package
[16:51] <zteam> prod: lost data while using Gparted?
[16:51] <zteam> if so u can try to recover it with Testdisk
[16:51] <h4x0l2> wouldnt that depend on the distro?
[16:52] <theadmin> h4x0l2: This is Ubuntu support :/
[16:52] <theadmin> h4x0l2: We assume people are running Ubuntu, so.
[16:52] <ubuntu_> dr_willis : so i have only dvd-rw,no free cds etc.brazero says : please replace disk with supported cd or dvd.what to do?
[16:52] <theadmin> gartral: Add that ppa on the link above, and then "apt-get install openjdk-7"
[16:52] <h4x0l2> theadmin: i didnt see it in ubuntu studio
[16:52] <prod_> zteam, corrupted data
[16:53] <prod_> i think
[16:53] <theadmin> h4x0l2: Ubuntu Studio is not Ubuntu.
[16:53] <theadmin> h4x0l2: Neither is Mint, or Backtrack, or...
[16:53] <h4x0l2> well that answers that one
[16:53] <h4x0l2> hah
[16:53] <Pici> theadmin: Ubuntustudio is a supported variant.
[16:53] <natalie> Dumb question again, winetricks open, 7zip?
[16:53] <theadmin> Pici: Oh? I thought only {x,k,l}ubuntu are
[16:53] <zteam> prod: have u tried using chkdsk??
[16:54] <h4x0l2> use that to install the software you want to run natalie
[16:54] <theadmin> zteam: What the heck, this is brilliant *facepalm*
[16:54] <theadmin> prod_: Unmount the drive and run "fsck /dev/sda1" or similar
[16:54] <ubuntu_> zteam : chkdisk corrupts data of disk
[16:54] <h4x0l2> it should automagically get you what you need to make it work (if it requires .net framework or dx or something)
[16:54] <ur> exit
[16:54] <theadmin> ur: You want /quit
[16:54] <ur> yes
[16:55] <theadmin> ur: So use that.
[16:55] <zteam> ubuntu_, what?? chkdsk wont corrupt any data on a NTFS-volume unless it is in a very BAD state
[16:55] <raevol> does anyone know which element of the indicator menu handles the battery? trying to get it set up in xubuntu, and it's not showing the battery element
 Thank you :)
[16:55] <ubuntu_> zteam : chkdisk corrupted my disk mbr table,wat u except -))
[16:56] <theadmin> zteam: This is a ext4 drive
[16:56] <theadmin> zteam: So fsck rather than chkdsk, but still a great idea
[16:56] <h4x0l2> right on
[16:56] <zteam> theadmin, well then of course he should use fsck instead
[16:56] <ubuntu_> so that brasero creating checksum 10 mins already,how much i need to wait?
[16:57] <prod_> moved the files to local media and videos are still full of artifacts
[16:57] <ubuntu_> brasero is programm to burnin disks*
[16:57] <h4x0l2> ubuntu_ i usually just close it... i havnt had an issue lol
[16:57] <wh1zz0> Hibernate issue :(( Please help
[16:57] <theadmin> prod_: Um, you had to do fsck first, or else the data would remain damaged
[16:57] <jclbrt> hey all, I am prob not in the right channel but hopefully I can still get advice...
[16:57] <theadmin> prod_: Run the following command: sudo touch /forcefsck ; sudo reboot
[16:57] <ubuntu_> h4x0l2 : HOW I BURN ISO THEN
[16:58] <jclbrt> has anyone ever used ntop on ubuntu
[16:58] <h4x0l2> right click the ISO
[16:58] <dr_willis> ubuntu_:  you are burning it.. making a checksum is how it verifys the burn
[16:58] <prod_> theadmtheadmin, thanx for your time
[16:58] <prod_> oops lol
[16:58] <theadmin> prod_: lol np
[16:58] <ubuntu_> dr_willis : i know but thats creating checksum infinite time
[16:58] <zteam> ubuntu_, if brasero didn't create checksum you wouldn't know for sure if the data is intact or not
[16:58] <gartral> theadmin: that ppa doesn't appear too have a natty build
[16:58] <theadmin> prod_: Still got highlighted
[16:58] <theadmin> gartral: Oh... Weird. Sorry, didn't notice that
[16:59] <zteam> ubuntu_, you can turn it off if you wanna but I would not recommend it
[16:59] <jclbrt> I am trying to monitor my bandwidth usage at home and I'm trying to figure out if ntop is the right answer for what I want to do....  I want to find out how much bandwidth each device on my network is using per month
[16:59] <h4x0l2> create an output log of netstat or you can make a log in the router
[17:00] <jclbrt> in terms of both upload and download
[17:00] <ubuntu_> zteam : where can i do this
[17:00] <theadmin> Heh, someone forked Gnome2 and keeps it alive :) Good thing. Never mind that, was just happy to find that out
[17:00] <mosno> theadmin: link?
[17:01] <dr_willis> theadmin:  and the fork may last how long... :)
[17:01] <jclbrt> I want something that others on my network can see... ntop is attractive because it uses a web interface for my non geek residents
[17:01] <zteam> ubuntu_, there is an option in the plugin menu but you can't do it while you are burning something of course
[17:01] <ubuntu_> hey guys maybe you will answer - thats ubuntu is hard system or i'm idiot?
[17:01] <theadmin> mosno: https://github.com/Perberos/Mate-Desktop-Environment
[17:01] <dr_willis> ubuntu_:  i dont find it hard.
[17:01] <{-_-\\\> hi
[17:01] <{-_-\\\> my ubuntu is installing very slow
[17:01] <{-_-\\\> what can be the reason?
[17:01] <zteam> or u can just cancel the verify process
[17:01] <ubuntu_> dr_willis : cuz im first day usin ubuntu lol
[17:02] <dr_willis> ubuntu_:  and you managed to trash a hard drive you did not have any backups made of.....
[17:02] <theadmin> dr_willis: I dunno, I seriously hope it's not gonna get interrupted
[17:02] <mosno> theadmin: nice. well i suppose mate can pull its security patches from debian for a few years
[17:03] <theadmin> dr_willis: I'm fine with my xfce tho
[17:03] <ubuntu_> dr_willis :hey bro i have only 4 gb's free space on dat disk,how i will create backup
[17:03] <dr_willis> if i want an classic tyope desktop - i will stick with lubuntu :)
[17:03] <ubuntu_> dont have moneys on another hdds
[17:03] <mosno> theadmin: will be interesting how much longer mate lives after debian squeeze security support drops :)
[17:03] <dr_willis> ubuntu_:   get a job?
[17:03] <ubuntu_> good tip but offtopic
[17:03] <{-_-\\\> um, hi
[17:03] <{-_-\\\> can anybody help me?
[17:03] <dr_willis> you want some sort of magical answer? ubuntu one does offer 5gb for free. :)
[17:04] <ubuntu_> ye i can lol
[17:04] <theadmin> mosno: I'm not sure what that has to do with Debian, it originated in Archlinux
[17:04] <zteam> ubuntu_, why not just burn your most valueable files on a couple of DVDs or something?
[17:04] <jam> I'm having a really weird bug, where it looks like the window manager dies
[17:04] <ubuntu_> 2gb for swap and 2.5 gb for system?
[17:04] <jam> I can't switch windows with the mouse
[17:04] <jam> but I can use Super + X to switch apps
[17:04] <dr_willis> Im backing stuff up to a 3TB usb hd right now..
[17:04] <Gx4> isn't swap useless ?
[17:04] <jam> and I can still type in in the terminals, etc.
[17:04] <mosno> theadmin: meaning that debian already patch the gnome2 codebase for security updates, and mate can just grab the deb source and apply said updates to their tree. reduces effort.
[17:04] <dr_willis> ubuntu_:  Huh? what doe sswap and system have to do with anything
[17:05] <ubuntu_> zteam : i have 900gb of data
[17:05] <ubuntu_> zteam : thats will be crazy idea
[17:05] <jam> (I can't move windows, etc)
[17:05] <dr_willis> so it would fit on a  cheap 1TB usb hd..
[17:05] <jam> The menu's don't work, ettc.
[17:05] <ubuntu_> zteam : maybe on blurays
[17:05] <ubuntu_> jam : buy new mouse lol
[17:05] <ntr0py> compdoc: tried to set 777 on the server (source), local (client) it has 777 but on write access it says perm denied...
[17:05] <zteam> ubuntu_, and you are telling me that you need to backup all of that files?
[17:06] <ubuntu_> zteam : im not ,willis says
[17:06] <jam> ubuntu_ the mouse "works" as in it moves around the screen
[17:06] <jam> Alt + Item won't show the menu
[17:06] <jam> Alt shows the menu exists
[17:06] <ubuntu_> jam : installed new devices etc?
[17:06] <jam> not recently
[17:06] <jam> this is on Natty
[17:06] <jam> I've only upgraded whetveer they prompted me for
[17:06] <dr_willis> 'data worth  keeping is data worth backing up'
[17:06] <ubuntu_> jam : hm try to connect mouse to another usb
[17:07] <zteam> ubuntu_, well I usually only backup my document folder, if I loose something else I just re-download it
[17:07] <metalfan_> hi
[17:07] <metalfan_> what package does contain the java binary to run java programs?
[17:07] <ubuntu_> zteam : i have 5mbit connect that crazy too 900 gb...

[17:07] <natalie> Stlll stuck in wineticks trying to make WP7 work with lubutu... anyone?
[17:08] <ubuntu_> natalie : wp7?
[17:09] <natalie> Windows phone 7.
[17:09] <dr_willis> cant just mount the phone as a usb storage device?
[17:09] <zteam> natalie, What are you trying to do with it?
[17:09] <natalie> zteam, copy music from disc drive to phone.
[17:10] <metalfan_> ah, partner...thgx
[17:10] <dr_willis> night all.
[17:10] <natalie> Requires Zune normally.
[17:10] <theadmin> natalie: You could just go crazy and send via bluetooth for now
[17:10] <theadmin> natalie: Wine doesn't work well with external devices
[17:11] <theadmin> natalie: Or, I dunno, e-mail yourself a link and download it from your phone
[17:11] <zteam> natalie, well, you should check if there is some option to connect it as a mass storage device, otherwise you can try with banshee and rhythmbox
[17:11] <miguel> laa
[17:11] <miguel> hola
[17:11] <mosno> what's with the notification pop-ups in ubuntu? you move the mouse to them and they vanish, but you move the mouse away and they reappear? is that normal?
[17:11] <G7|Cloud> this is the largest room I've ever seen.
[17:11] <Pici> mosno: yes.
[17:12] <mrdeb> mosno, yes
[17:12] <ubuntu_> brasero won't work so someon know good burner for ubuntu?
[17:12] <mosno> i don't understand the rationale behind that
[17:12] <mrdeb> there is no reason
[17:12] <zteam> ubuntu_, try k3b then...
[17:12] <theadmin> mosno: It's simple, it's made so they still last the desired amount of time but you can see what's under em
[17:12] <mmonge> natalie: there is a dropbox client for WP7
[17:12] <theadmin> mosno: That way you won't accidentally kill it if you move the mouse there
[17:12] <natalie> I've tried making it a removable USB storage, it won't register the device unless it's through Zune.
[17:12] <mosno> theadmin: what if you want it gone?
[17:13] <mmonge> natalie: you can move you files that way for now
[17:13] <Polah> Does selecting "LAMP Server" from tasksel automatically enable PHP and MySQL compatibility with Apache?
[17:13] <theadmin> mosno: Just wait. I think there used to be some tool to configure notifications...
[17:13] <mosno> theadmin: ok
[17:13] <natalie> mmonge: can you link me to it?
[17:13] <mosno> theadmin: thanks

[17:13] <zteam> natalie, have u tried banshee then?
[17:13] <sougata> Hi guys, is there some dafault application to manage startup programs in Ubunut 11.04 or is it ubuntu-tweak. Thank you.
[17:14] <theadmin> mosno: Found it, https://launchpad.net/notifyconf
[17:14] <tensorpudding> sougata: there's a program, Startup Applications
[17:14] <gr4g0n> f
[17:14] <tensorpudding> sougata: it's the same as before, just search for it in the applications menu
[17:14] <theadmin> sougata: Startup Apps for Gnome, and rcconf for more in-depth looks
[17:14] <natalie> I have banshee, not sure where to go from there.
[17:14] <sougata> Thank you all
[17:14] <mmonge> Polah: Yes, LAMP means Linux Apache MySQL and PHP, it will installed
[17:15] <gr4g0n> q onda
[17:15] <mmonge> *install it
[17:15] <Polah> mmonge: I know that, but are the Apache modules for PHP and MySQL also installed, and are they enabled?
[17:15] <mosno> theadmin: nice
[17:15] <gr4g0n> ok
[17:16] <mmonge> it enables the default ones, gut you can install the ones you need with apt-get install

[17:21] <jakemp> I have 2x2 viewports, and I added a second desktop, but cannot figure out how to access it.
[17:21] <Peace_Maker> Hi guys :)
[17:22] <mmonge> jakemp: ctrl + alt + arrows, up down, left right
[17:22] <jakemp> that switched between viewports
[17:22] <jakemp> but doesn't behave any different now that I have added a second desktop
[17:23] <mmonge> your viewport should extend to both desktops
[17:23] <fishscene> Greetings. I have a cronjob that seems to have stopped working and I have no idea why. Crontab file looks like this:
[17:23] <fishscene> 24 10 * * 1-5 export DISPLAY=:0 && /home/administrator/Desktop/klove-stream
[17:23] <adamrb> Hi all
[17:23] <fishscene> executing /home/administrator/Desktop/klove-stream manually works properly
[17:23] <Andres_> How to upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10
[17:24] <theadmin> Andres_: update-manager -d. Note that 11.10 is unstable and unsupported here.
[17:24] <h00k> Andres_: 11.10 isn't released yet, for discussion, #ubuntu+1
[17:24] <adamrb> having an issue with Ubuntu 11.04 running under VMWare Professional on Windows 7 x64. The VM just randomly turns itself off; I assume Ubuntu is having a kernel panic or something. Where would I look to see what happened? Syslog has no info.
[17:24] <theadmin> fishscene: I suggest setting per-command environment variables differently: DISPLAY=:0 /home/administrator/Desktop/klove-stream
[17:24] <h00k> adamrb: even if it has a kernel panic, it shouldn't turn the VM off
[17:24] <chirag_d_gr8> hello
[17:24] <jakemp> mmonge, what do you mean. I see a 2x2 grid, like I did before
[17:25] <fishscene> So remove the &&?
[17:25] <adamrb> h00k: any thoughts on why the VM would just power off? Other VM's stay running.
[17:25] <theadmin> fishscene: The && and the export
[17:25] <fishscene> I'll give it a spin
[17:25] <chirag_d_gr8> sometimes when i boot from kubuntu, an error pops up while loading system files and i am stuck in between
[17:26] <Sidewinder1> And the error is?
[17:26] <theadmin> fishscene: You sure the file is allowed to be executable by the crontab?
[17:26] <chirag_d_gr8> i do not remember error name but it was something pci
[17:26] <chirag_d_gr8> 0x00009
[17:26] <fishscene> theadmin, yes, it is executable by owner,group,other
[17:27] <theadmin> fishscene: Oh okay
[17:27] <fishscene> Everything was working just fine, and then 2 days ago, nothing worked anymore =\
[17:27] <adamrb> It seems to coincide with locking the machine and walking away.
[17:27] <chirag_d_gr8> the error was: Fails to boot: udevd-work[...]: '/sbin/modprobe -bv usb:...' unexpected exit with status 0x0009
[17:27] <theadmin> fishscene: Heh, check your mail. cron might have sent off some warnings to you with the explanation as to why stuff fails
[17:29] <[twisti]> how can i get this ? http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man1/makensis.1.html

[17:29] <theadmin> [twisti]: apt-get install makensis... But this looks disgusting :/
[17:29] <[twisti]> yea, that doesnt work
[17:30] <theadmin> [twisti]: Can I suggest a more universal alternative? Check IzPack out
[17:30] <chirag_d_gr8> how to fix this error?
[17:30] <fishscene> brb. I've been yanked for another task
[17:30] <[twisti]> unless you pay someone to change all our build processes to that, i think ill stick with nsis
[17:30] <ubuntu_> '
[17:30] <[twisti]> so, any way to get it other than to compile from source ?
[17:30] <theadmin> [twisti]: Ah, makes sense, okay
[17:30] <ubuntu_> williams here?
[17:31] <theadmin> ubuntu_: dr_willis? He left for sleep

[17:31] <theadmin> ubuntu_: This channel is logged
[17:32] <[twisti]> youd think it would say on there which package its in
[17:32] <ubuntu_> theadmin : no i loaded from cd+rebooted
[17:32] <theadmin> ubuntu_: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2011/09/15/%23ubuntu.txt - search for it.
[17:33] <Pici> [twisti]: Its in the nsis package.
[17:33] <[twisti]> thanks
[17:33] <ubuntu_> theadmin : thanx
[17:33] <[twisti]> was there a way to get that info from that page other than trial and error ?
[17:33] <Pici> [twisti]: I don't think so, I  used apt-file here.

[17:37] <adamrb> theadmin: heh actually I do; it was my co-worker having the issue...just in IRC for her. weird ... that's why it was happening to her and not me.

Now I don't know how to choose a user (there is some text that says "ubuntu" and toggles to "Ubuntu 11.04" when clicked), theres no login button without clicking "Other", and no user/pass combos work.  How do I login?
[17:39] <ubuntu_> no adobe flash x64?

[17:39] <theadmin> kristopher: Yes.
[17:39] <gjensen-na> Hi folks, good evening from Namibia. Which leads to the question: do we have Namibians on here?
[17:39] <mikeypizano> hey, does anyone here have a zaurus?
[17:39] <theadmin> kristopher: Well, do that right after your bios, before the ubuntu bootscreen
[17:40] <glebihan> Polah, what do you need exactly ? a web-based interface for system administration ?
[17:40] <ubuntu_> gjenses-na maybe
[17:40] <MonkeyDust> monster__: no password
[17:40] <gjensen-na> I ask, because we've got a new LoCo in Namibia now.
[17:40] <ubuntu__>  Hey there!
[17:40] <ubuntu__> Can anyone help me out with my windows booting problem?
[17:40] <morri> ..
[17:41] <mikeypizano> i am trying to get a prism2.5 based wifi card (sony clie pega-wl110) working on my sharp zaurus c700 running cacko 1.23, can anyone help me?
[17:41] <Polah> glebihan: Actually, nevermind. I don't really need one, but it might've been useful, I'll just do things manually.
[17:41] <monster__> MonkeyDust: I thought I tried that already -- it's so obvious.  It worked. Thanks.
[17:42] <wachunei> hi guys, how can i swype the behaviour of two keys?
[17:42] <glebihan> Polah, ok. I was just wondering what you were looking for exactly. Such tools exist (but might cause some security issues)
[17:42] <theadmin> wachunei: xmodmap -e 'keysym key1=key2' will make key1 behave like key2
[17:42] <Polah> glebihan: Yes, I know, but it's only a server running on a local VM for some testing purposes (:
[17:42] <wachunei> theadmin, is there a graphic utility?
[17:42] <ubuntu__> Can anyone help me with my windows-booting problem? :c
[17:42] <theadmin> wachunei: Not that I know of
[17:43] <wachunei> theadmin, im in a virtual machine, how can i get the identifier of the keys, in order to replace them  in the command
[17:43] <glebihan> Polah, then you might want to have a look at webmin
[17:43] <aldo> greeting from joli os
[17:43] <mikeypizano> maybe ill try to install windows on this zaurus, least the wifi card works in windows ce
[17:43] <Polah> glebihan: Is it in the repos?
[17:43] <theadmin> wachunei: There's no need for an identifier, it's just the name
[17:44] <Pici> !webmin | Polah glebihan
[17:44] <theadmin> wachunei: Like... control_right or a or space or something
[17:44] <kristopher> Ok, I must have gotten something wrong. I'm using 11.04 and I'm trying to access single user mode from grub so I can run fsck to attempt to repair an error on my HD. What would be the steps to access single user mode from Grub?
[17:44] <glebihan> Polah, apparently not...
[17:44] <wachunei> theadmin, like left cmd key of an macbook pro keyboard? hahahha
[17:45] <Sidewinder1> kristopher, Why not just boot to LiveCD?
[17:45] <theadmin> wachunei: Let me search what that would look like
[17:45] <mikeypizano> i am trying to get a prism2.5 based wifi card (sony clie pega-wl110) working on my sharp zaurus c700 running cacko 1.23, can anyone help me?

[17:45] <Webonaute> hi. I am on ubuntu and I try to access a share on a mac mini server. I can connect to the share, I can create folder but I can't create or edit file. I got error : "Function not implemented" anyone can help me?
[17:46] <theadmin> wachunei: Those would be Super_L and Super_R for left and right respecitvely.
[17:46] <Pici> mikeypizano: How is that related to Ubuntu?
[17:46] <wachunei> thanks, i just googled it and discovered xev
[17:46] <dumbledore> xorg or gnome or gdm or whatever closed/crashed and was greeted with gdm, logged in and now my icons are standard, gnome is plain grey and chromium started using system title bar and borders, any ideas why?
[17:46] <mikeypizano> becuase it runs linux and i am going crazy trying to get this thing working

[17:46] <dumbledore> this happend on my other computer yesterday also
[17:46] <dumbledore> I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 on both I think
[17:47] <Pici> mikeypizano: This channel only supports Ubuntu. You can find general linux support in ##linux
[17:47] <mikeypizano> and im trying there too, and technically there is a ubuntu fort zaurus
[17:49] <theadmin> mikeypizano: Except other distros may have major differences in patches and such. We only support Ubuntu here.
[17:49] <raevol> is there an equivalent of indicator-power in natty?
[17:49] <mikeypizano> well i figured maybe someone would happen to have a linux based pda
[17:49] <theadmin> mikeypizano: I haz a android phone, does that count?
[17:50] <Ellipsis753> hey, I've got a broken harddrive as my 2nd harddrive in this computer, it's not picked up by ubuntu and I was wondering if there's anything I can do to recover some of the data?
[17:50] <mikeypizano> it is linux based so it counts lol
[17:50] <mikeypizano> guess ill just go back to my windows ce pda, least my wifi card works there
[17:52] <Polah> mikeypizano: Linux is used on a number of mobile devices.
[17:52] <Pici> !ot
[17:53] <hichamat> I need a WPA2-PSK key example

[17:56] <kyle__> with the new shiney gcc in ubuntu 11, how does one go about building code written for old crufty gccs?  Code that hasn't been updated in a decade.
[17:56] <dumbledore> gnome crashed, was greated by GDM and when I logged in everything was grey (theme) and icons plane, anyone know if this is a known bug? (11:04)
[17:56] <ActionParsnip> kyle__: are there no active alternatives
[17:56] <theadmin> dumbledore: Go to system->preferences->appearance and set your theme to whatever you used to use
[17:57] <urlin2u> dumbledore, have yo tried reboting again?
[17:57] <urlin2u> rebooting
[17:57] <theadmin> dumbledore: Sounds like it got reset to Clearlooks, the Gnome default
[17:57] <ActionParsnip> dumbledore: tried a different session?
[17:57] <kyle__> ActionParsnip: For what I'm playing with, basiliskII?  Not that I know of.
[17:58] <jMCg> Hey folks, I just wanted to ask where I can go to bug people about the upgrade to Oneiric?
[17:58] <Pici> jMCg: #ubuntu+1
[17:58] <jMCg> I mean.. give feedback.
[17:58] <jMCg> Pici: thank you very much.
[17:58] <dumbledore> theadmin: changing the theme only changed the theme of the apparance theme changing window, everything else stays in some ugly gray theme.
[17:58] <xuser1> hi
[17:58] <rbil> I have tried a number of Linux recommended webcams from Logitech.  Work great with Skype, but not with Googletalk Plugin.  Can anyone help me get this working? I have latest plugin.
[17:58] <ActionParsnip> jMCg:   #ubuntu+1  for anything oneiric til release
[17:59] <mexia> hi there need help with something im trying to install ubuntu on my eee pc but when i try to connect the internet throw wireless the computer blocks. Does anyone knows how to fix this?
[18:00] <theadmin> jMCg: Generally, #ubuntu+1 houses support for any current Ubuntu release, whereas #ubuntu is for current stable
[18:00] <avdi> So I have this ~/Public directory...
[18:00] <ActionParsnip> mexia: which eeepc? Which release? Are you fully updated?
[18:00] <Polah> dumbledore: Light grey, right? That's GNOME not setting up properly, have you rebooted since?
[18:01] <theadmin> avdi: I'm not even sure what that's for. You can probably just erase it.
[18:01] <dumbledore> Polah: light grey yes, have not tried rebooting yet.
[18:01] <avdi> theadmin: actually I was really hoping I could use it for serving web pages to folks on the local net using zeroconf
[18:01] <mexia> ok so its a asus eee 1001px, im trying to install ubuntu 11.04 it happens on installation too
[18:02] <avdi> theadmin: but I can't figure out how to easily enable that
[18:02] <Polah> dumbledore: That's happened to be ocassionally. Rebooting should fix it
[18:02] <theadmin> avdi: Ah, I see, well, I'm not sure how that works.
[18:02] <ActionParsnip> mexia: use a wired link and get fully updated. May help
[18:02] <mexia> btw its not just on ubuntu thus occurs on other distrso too like fedora backtrack?
[18:02] <mexia> i tryed already
[18:02] <avdi> I mean I could haul out my Apache docs, but I was kinda hoping the existence of ~/Public meant there's a switch I could flip to start serving files out of there
[18:02] <ubuntu__> is there anyone who could help me out with my windows and ubuntu booting problem?
[18:03] <theadmin> mexia: Probably a Linux issue in general then, doubt we can ever help with such major problems >.<
[18:03] <ActionParsnip> mexia: are you using backtrack now?
[18:03] <mexia> i updated using cable everything ok then i tried to connect throw wireleess puff blocked again
[18:03] <mexia> no now i have windows
[18:03] <ubuntu__> brb
[18:03] <mexia> cause i gave up so im trying again now
[18:03] <ActionParsnip> mexia: have you tested your RAM?
[18:03] <dumbledore> Polah: okay, I'll give it a try in a minute.
[18:03] <mexia>  ? ram?
[18:04] <ActionParsnip> mexia: do you have the latest bios?
[18:04] <theadmin> mexia: Yeah, get basically any Linux livecd and run "memtest" from the boot menu
[18:04] <urlin2u> ubuntu__, can you give details like it's not a wubi and and aoo the OS's and HD's if more than one and what happens when you boot.

[18:05] <avdi> I'm looking for the quickest, simplest setup to ensure that I can toss files into ~/Public and have people on the local network go to mymachine.local/~avdi and browse them.
[18:05] <mexia> vause i had v10 and it worked fine
[18:05] <avdi> er, http://mymachine.local/~avdi/ to be specifc
[18:05] <ActionParsnip> mexia: do you have the latest BIOS? It may be an issue fixed with that
[18:06] <Pici> avdi: install apache httpd and enable and reconfigure mod_userdir
[18:06] <ActionParsnip> Avdi: use samba then
[18:06] <avdi> ActionParsnip: HTTP, not SMB

[18:37] <erkhacker> yes
[18:37] <josephseraos> ubuntu__: Now, type "sudo mount /dev /mnt/dev"

[18:43] <oCean> Exabyte:  we have a specific #ubuntu-offtopic channel if you wish to chat
[18:43] <kernelpanicker> the chrome around the window in gnome3/ubuntu 10.10 has disappeared... by chrome I mean the grab bar/minimize/maximize/close button etc... any suggestions?
[18:43] <Exabyte> Oh I understand that.
[18:43] <Exabyte> Eh.
[18:44] <dforthman> How do I install vfw32 on Ubuntu Server 11.04 so I can configure ffmpeg-0.7.4 from source with ./configure --enable-avisynth? I tried searching Google, but I can't find anything relevant.
[18:44] <kernelpanicker> wait... gnome 2
[18:45] <ztrek7> I am having a problem with adding a feature into my shell (following a guide), I am running Ubuntu 11.04. After following the guide, there is no change. Anyone willing to help?
[18:46] <Exabyte> But is there anybody who can help me out without the webpages?
[18:46] <jasonlfunk> I'm needing to install ubuntu on a SD card. Googling isn't finding anything substantial. Any tips?
[18:46] <kernelpanicker> solved (ran metacity --replace)
[18:47] <Sidewinder1> !nickspam | nyck
[18:47] <ztrek7> anyone familiar with .bashrc ?
[18:48] <llutz> !anyone | ztrek7
[18:49] <gabriel_> does anyone know how I would go about connecting to irc.p2p-network.net?
[18:49] <{-_-\\\> hi
[18:49] <nyck> I`m satisfied with nyck. thanks!
[18:49] <gabriel_> does anyone know how I would go about connecting to irc.p2p-network.net?
[18:49] <gabriel_> it's my first time using IRC
[18:49] <{-_-\\\> i am running ubuntu server x64 inside qemu on 32-bit linux ( pentium 2 450Mhz / 256Mb RAM )
[18:50] <{-_-\\\> why is it installing so slow?
[18:52] <SelassieI> Is there anyone who is able to help me with my bootup problem?
[18:52] <aqusel> gabriel_: did your question ever get answered?
[18:54] <Sergey_IT> SelassieI, where is the question?
[18:54] <davidthedrake> Can someone point me to the visual system beep setting in 11.04? It used to be in a tab in System->Preferences->Sound
[18:54] <SelassieI> Well, I am unable to bootup windows or ubuntu 11.04.
[18:54] <SelassieI> I am currently running the ubuntu liveCD.
[18:55] <ztrek7> sel: that might be too broad!
[18:56] <ztrek7> what is your end goal? to boot windows or to get ubuntu installed?
[18:56] <aqusel> and how far do you get
[18:56] <ztrek7> and, what happens when you try to boot ubuntu
[18:56] <SelassieI> Well
[18:56] <Angola_Ferkel> my endgoal is 4:1 germany vs brazil
[18:56] <SelassieI> I already have ubuntu and windows installed
[18:56] <SelassieI> When i try to boot ubuntu
[18:56] <SelassieI> I get the grub loader
[18:56] <Angola_Ferkel> try to use the gorg boot loader
[18:57] <SelassieI> hm?
[18:57] <Angola_Ferkel> according to fraggle rock, the gorgs are better
[18:57] <ztrek7> then what
[18:57] <dumbledore> is it possible to get Ubuntu 11.10 Beta or Daily as a CD iso?
[18:57] <ztrek7> you select in grub
[18:57] <ztrek7> then what
[18:57] <Sergey_IT> SelassieI, and then?
[18:57] <dumbledore> never mind, just saw that it's available as daily
[18:57] <nyck> aqusel: This channel is not here for answering but for manhunting! check it out! ubuntu is on secondary. ROFL
[18:57] <dumbledore> beta 1 is only available in DVD though for x86
[18:58] <eupho> dumbledore: is a fag
[18:58] <SelassieI> And then it tells me that it couldn't find the partition.
[18:58] <ztrek7> good start
[18:58] <SelassieI> Good star-..
[18:58] <Pici> Angola_Ferkel: Please stay on-topic here.  If you just want to chat, use #ubuntu-offtopic.
[18:59] <ztrek7> since you are running a live cd, i would begin by making sure your partitions ARE really there
[18:59] <ztrek7> open a terminal
[18:59] <SelassieI> They are there.
[18:59] <SelassieI> sudo fdisk -l
[18:59] <ztrek7> now, ubuntu guys, your going to have to help on exackt commands
[18:59] <SelassieI> They are all there.
[18:59] <ztrek7> k
[18:59] <dumbledore> eupho: how do you mean? as in the harry potter character or some negative slang for assuming daily would have the same "iso status" as beta 1 or both?
[19:00] <ztrek7> now, we need to see your grub menu.lst i believe
[19:00] <rww> dumbledore: eupho has left the channel
[19:00] <dumbledore> oh okay
[19:00] <ztrek7> i don't know how this channel shares code
[19:00] <ztrek7> pastebin?
[19:00] <ztrek7> but, we need to see it
[19:00] <SelassieI> Ztrek7 I really apreciate you want to help me but I think i might be better of with Sergey_IT for now.
[19:01] <udjin> ...
[19:02] <Guest7940> hi all, got a question for someone who knows the sound settings well
[19:02] <irv> whenever i reboot virtual machines in ubuntu, the machine goes to my active workspace when it changes display modes. any way to make it stay on whichever workspace it was on before changing modes?
[19:02] <SelassieI> Sergey, you there?
[19:03] <Guest7940> Ubuntu has a bad habit of unmuting itself whenever it wants to play a sound.
[19:03] <udjin> est' iz sng kto to?
[19:03] <Guest7940> anyone know how to maintain the mute button state?
[19:03] <guhcampos> Quick question: Gnome 3 PPA. Will it destroy my ubuntu installation?
[19:03] <Sergey_IT> SelassieI: i do not think so - my english is not good (
[19:03] <oslo> bonsoir tout le monde
[19:03] <Angola_Ferkel> guhcampos: no

[19:07] <ztrek7> SelassieI, you wanna pick up where we left off?
[19:07] <guhcampos> llutz, ubottu I'm sorry but what you told me is what I can read on google anytime. I don't use Unity, but Gnome 2, and I'm aware of the risks
[19:08] <SelassieI> Yeah sure.
[19:08] <SelassieI> That'd be cool
[19:08] <ztrek7> SelassieI, if so, I need to see your menu.lst
[19:08] <guhcampos> I'm asking to the ones using the ppa if it's mature enough for me to install on my system yet
[19:08] <ztrek7> do you know where it is?
[19:08] <SelassieI> Not really!
[19:09] <ztrek7> one sec
[19:09] <nyck> Ah, I recognize a lot of ubuntu specific questions in this curious channel
[19:09] <llutz> ztrek7: that prompt-thingy works here, whats your problem?
[19:09] <warren_sensei> Could anyone help me with a mute-button problem?
[19:09] <oCean> nyck: that's because this is the ubuntu channel
[19:09] <Trashi> hi. i get an installation error like: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-1.2.so.0 ..... i use natty ... in which repositoy can i find libgtk? seems in the main repo it isnt available anymore?!
[19:10] <rocket161> Hey guys, I wrongly installed a realtek driver on my ubuntu 11.04 on dell inspiron 14r. Now, I can't get my sound working. So, is there an easy way to reinstall the entire sound driver (I didn't use any third-party driver. The default one worked, not very well though)?
[19:10] <ztrek7> hmmmm
[19:10] <trism> ztrek7: menu.lst is unlikely to exist in any recent ubuntu install since the switch to grub2
[19:10] <ztrek7> i thought it was supposed to be at /boot/grub/menu.lst
[19:10] <ztrek7> o
[19:11] <ztrek7> grub2
[19:11] <ztrek7> well then
[19:11] <nyck> flood?
[19:11] <ztrek7> anyone know how to read the grub2 config file?
[19:11] <craigbass1976> I'm running Lucid, wine, and sketchup8.  I can't get the 3d warehouse running though.  I think I have gecko and ie installed correctly.  Where else do I look?
[19:11] <warren_sensei> My mute button will automatically unmute at startup, after login, AND whenever any media starts playing, however it behaves correctly otherwise.
[19:12] <ztrek7> I guess not, let me look up where to find the grub2 config
[19:12] <oCean> ztrek7: if you are not very certain what you should do, please reconsider if you should give advise to someone trying to recover his installation
[19:12] <llutz> ztrek7: /boot/grub/grub.cfg but to make changes, edit /etc/default/grub and rund update-grub

[19:59] <sveinse> Anyone have a link to a good way of handling multiple profiles with nvidia-settings? I'm somewhat tired of always having to adjust my display settings for the different places I'm in
[19:59] <jrib> sveinse: maybe something like disper is what you want
[20:00] <TheMatrix3000> I am running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Server Edition, which firewall software would you recommend for easy management?
[20:00] <jrib> !firewall | TheMatrix3000
[20:00] <TheMatrix3000> does UFW create iptable rules?
[20:00] <TheMatrix3000> or is it completely different
[20:01] <jrib> TheMatrix3000: I believe it creates iptables rules, yes
[20:01] <Geocosm> I don't have sound, or a sound indicator in my panel. How do I get sound?
[20:02] <sveinse> jrib: Hmm. Disper is not available from the stock natty repo. Can I assume it's very beta then?
[20:02] <jrib> sveinse: correct, it's not in natty's default repositories
[20:03] <jrib> sveinse: https://launchpad.net/~disper-dev/+archive/ppa
[20:03] <yagoo> sveinse, nvidia-settings has an -l argument i think (see man <commandname>.. i think there's a manapge for nvidia-settings)
[20:05] <kermit> is there a way to keep apps from stealing focus?  one app is doing it to me 500 times/day
[20:05] <guntbert> TheMatrix3000: iptables are working at the kernel level, every firewall uses them (there have been several other mechanisms too..), you can manage them directly or use some sort of helper program (like ufw,...)
[20:06] <sveinse> Well, actually I'd like my system to recognize the set of displays and then automatically select the correct settings for it. I have three main modes in use: laptop only, laptop docket at work (two ext screen) and laptop home (ext + int screens). I mean Windows handles this very well
[20:07] <sveinse> jrib: I'll give disper a try
[20:07] <jrib> sveinse: you should be able to do that with udev and disper, check out the disper documentation
[20:08] <sveinse> jrib: Will do.. getting expectations...

[20:12] <spthysis> In Ubuntu 11.04, my flashdrives won't mount.
[20:12] <spthysis> I've tried formatting them on both Windows and Mac
[20:12] <spthysis> but when thrust into Ubuntu, they don't work.
[20:12] <spthysis> and when I use Ubuntu to format them to FAT32, no other OS can read them.
[20:12] <Polah> soreau: auto lo on the first line, iface lo inet loopback on the second line
[20:13] <soreau> Polah: thanks
[20:13] <spthysis> anyone?
[20:14] <paul_> how can I make my computer use my version python3.2 as default python interpreter instead of python2.x
[20:14] <Sterist> hello i'm getting trouble logging into one of my sessions... i put in my password and the user / password window closes and the screen goes black and returns me to the user / password window. my other session works but gives me an error "Could not update ICEauthority file /home/user/.ICEauthority"
[20:14] <Polah> spthysis: So formatting on Ubuntu causes them to only work on Ubuntu, but formatting on Windows or Mac lets them work on Windows or Mac but not Ubuntu? Most strange.
[20:14] <paul_> Sterist: check permissions on home/user/.ICEauthority and if it's not there make it?
[20:14] <spthysis> Yeah, Polah
[20:14] <TheMatrix3000> How would I lock down Chrome in Ubuntu making settings uneditable by a user?
[20:14] <spthysis> that's what's happening.
[20:15] <spthysis> I'm thinking it's a partition table thing
[20:15] <Sterist> paul_ could you assist me on that? (0_o)
[20:15] <paul_> Sterist: you have access to the terminal on this computer?
[20:15] <Sterist> paul_ yes sir
[20:15] <spthysis> Polah, Might I add that my Elementary OS (Pretty Much 10.10) also has troubles with the drives.
[20:15] <Polah> spthysis: You could wipe it from /dev/null using dd and then reformat again and try
[20:15] <spthysis> Polah, already tried that.
[20:16] <paul_> Sterist: cd /home/user
[20:16] <spthysis> Plug it into Windows, Bam, Wants to reformat to make it readable
[20:16] <spthysis> Mac just yells at me.
[20:16] <spthysis> and tells me something went wrong.
[20:16] <paul_> Sterist: ls -la |grep -i ice
[20:16] <Polah> spythysis: Seems like a damaged drive then
[20:16] <paul_> Sterist: then look at the permissions, it will look like r-xrwx--x or something similar
[20:16] <maryfive> hello ! i would know if XFCE run in ubuntu because i m running it with Xubuntu but Xubuntu start wery difficult

[20:16] <paul_> how do I make python3.2 my default interpreter for python
[20:17] <spthysis> Polah, when I try to Eject it from Ubuntu, it says, "Daemon Inhibited"
[20:17] <Polah> spthysis: Hmm, could be your USB drivers in Ubuntu
[20:17] <paul_> Sterist: try typing "sudo chmod 777 .ICEauthority"
[20:17] <spthysis> Because neither button is greyed over.
[20:17] <paul_> Sterist: i may have spelled .ICEauthority wrong, so make usre you use tab completion so it's picking the right file
[20:18] <maryfive> hello ! i would know if XFCE run in ubuntu because i m running it with Xubuntu but Xubuntu start wery difficult
[20:18] <Polah> Sterist: Don't suppose you were doing things with sudo when you should've been using gksudo? chown it back to yourself
[20:18] <Sterist> polah yes i think i was
[20:18] <paul_> Sterist: you should definately understand permissions and ownership
[20:18] <Polah> paul_, Sterist; Much better to leave it rw by owner only and setting the owner to the user
[20:19] <paul_> Polah: good advice
[20:19] <Polah> Sterist: Yeah, that's why you use gksudo, to stop root doing silly things like owning files it shouldn't
[20:19] <Sterist> polah i was trying to get a wardriver to work as root.
[20:19] <Sterist> polah that didn't succeed either (-_-)
[20:19] <paul_> How do I change my default python interpreter to version 3.2 instead of 2.x, I have both installed
[20:20] <dumpsta> anyone available to help me with an install question?
[20:20] <Sterist> paul_ i have a feel for the permissions but it really does take a lot of research and/or experience to understand all things linux lol
[20:21] <guntbert> Sterist: what didn't succeed either?
[20:21] <aemaeth> my printer says it can go to 1200dpi, the printer settings in preferences only goes to 600, how do i fix this?
[20:22] <paul_> Sterist: ok, I was just making sure you knew what I was advising you to do
[20:22] <ood> hello i want to disable ipv6 completely because of strange occurences in systemlog.. i have nearly everywhere disabled ..iptables, etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf, and in network manager ignored ipv6.but still ip -6 r,netstat –inet6 -g are showing some multicast on local and eth0 interfaces..lsmod shows nothing of ipv6..should i reboot or is a restart of the servie network enough?
[20:22] <piranah> wb bots
[20:22] <piranah> :P
[20:23] <Sterist> guntbert i dont know. i tried running the wardriver thru the alt+F2 menu w/ gksudo /usr/bin/swscanner then that didnt work so i tried checking the run in terminal box, that didnt work, then tried with "sudo" and that's what ****d me up lol
[20:24] <guntbert> Sterist: ok, I wasn't sure about what you were talking, did you succed with the .ICEauthority ?
[20:24] <Polah> Sterist: Can you copypaste your line for .ICEauthority again please?
[20:25] <yagoo> ood, why not blacklist the ipv6 module?
[20:25] <yagoo> lol
[20:25] <Sterist> polah -rwxrwxrwx  1 root   root         4844 2011-09-15 03:00 .ICEauthority
[20:25] <Sterist>  (as of now)
[20:25] <ood> ??
[20:25] <ood> i did
[20:25] <yagoo> just blacklist ipv6 or disable it.. don't need to do more than that
[20:25] <ood> @yagoo
[20:26] <craigbass1976> Where is the file that contains my applications menu contents?  I can't seem to delete things via the GUI
[20:26] <j0nr> just installed ubuntu on an old Dell D600 Latitude running 512Mb ram.   Pretty peppy compared to regular oob.
[20:26] <Sterist> polah does that look right?
[20:26] <guntbert> Sterist: sudo chown -v <yourAccountname> .ICEauthority
[20:26] <Polah> Sterist: Hang on
[20:26] <j0nr> craigbass1976: actually thats what I installed :)
[20:27] <j0nr> craigbass1976: but video is awful, worse than I would hope for
[20:27] <guntbert> Sterist: and the chmod -v 0600 .ICEauthority
[20:27] <frusen> how do i turn off shadows in CompizConfig?
[20:27] <guntbert> *then
[20:27] <ood> @yagoo network not reachable..seems to have worked then
[20:27] <craigbass1976> j0nr, really...  I was hoping you wouldn't say that.  I threw it on an old box at home and thought it should have been faster.  Guess it wasn't my fault.
[20:27] <Polah> Sterist: sudo chmod 600 .ICEauthority && sterist:sterist .ICEauthority
[20:27] <under> hi
[20:27] <Polah> sterist: Change sterist to your username if need be
[20:27] <yagoo> ood, make sure it's not ur firewall though (u can always to ip6tables -F to flush ip6 tables then try the ping6 ::1)
[20:27] <spthysis> Polah, manually mounted the drive; working fine now.
[20:27] <spthysis> :)
[20:28] <Sterist> guntbert polah no < > right?
[20:28] <under> why after install nvidia driver, I cannot choose 120hz like monitor refresh?
[20:28] <guntbert> Sterist: correct
[20:28] <craigbass1976> j0nr, it was a dell optiplex with a celeron 1.something ghz and 512
[20:28] <j0nr> craigbass1976:  am just wondering if i could do with better video drivers, but it seems a mine field
[20:28] <Polah> Sterist: Uhhh, no. Just copy paste my entire line above except for my tagging you at the start (Sterist:)
[20:29] <Polah> Sterist: Actually, should be this:     sudo chmod 600 .ICEauthority && sudo chown sterist:sterist .ICEauthority
[20:29] <mexia> Guys anyone knows the irc support channel for ubuntu 11.10?
[20:30] <guntbert> mexia: #ubuntu+1
[20:30] <under> mexia: it's this
[20:30] <ood> ip -6 r shows fe80::/64 dev eth0  proto kernel  metric 256  mtu 1500 advmss 1440 hoplimit<PHONE_NUMBER>
[20:30] <under> why after install nvidia driver, I cannot choose 120hz like monitor refresh?
[20:30] <guntbert> under: no
[20:30] <ood> @yagoo
[20:30] <mexia> so +1 or this?
[20:30] <under> sorry guntbert
[20:30] <guntbert> !oneiric | mexia
[20:31] <mexia> thanks
[20:31] <warren_sensei> Could anyone give me a hand? My mute button will automatically unmute at startup, after login, AND whenever any media starts playing, however it behaves correctly otherwise.
[20:32] <yagoo> who here aliases like ls? (eg: ls='ls -gGad --group-directories-first ' .. just curious
[20:32] <ood> @yagoo netstat –inet6 -g ->lo              1      all-systems.mcast.net,eth0  1 <IP_ADDRESS>,eth0 1 all-systems.mcast.net,eth0 1 all-systems.mcast.net, lo  1 ip6-allnodes
[20:32] <enzotib> yagoo: ~/.bashrc
[20:32] <guntbert> !poll | yagoo
[20:32] <Sterist> polah now reboot and check if all is well?
[20:33] <yagoo> i never bothered to use --group-directories-first until today.. and have to admit it looks pretty good i can list stuff like this :)
[20:33] <Polah> Sterist: Just copypaste the line once more
[20:33] <yagoo> guntbert, don't be a wiseguy.. alias ls is not an application...
[20:34] <guntbert> yagoo: no, the factoid was wrong, but please don't take polls in this channel
[20:34] <Sterist> polah -rw-------  1 user user       4844 2011-09-15 03:00 .ICEauthority
[20:34] <yagoo> guntbert, i'm not taking polls.
[20:34] <yagoo> i'm looking for good aliases
[20:34] <yagoo> geez
[20:35] <Sterist> polah looks like where it started lol
[20:35] <steel> hi,does anybody use xmonad here?i can't disable/enable mousepad in ubuntu 11.04.
[20:35] <ood> @yagoo my syslog is full of those kernel: [50441.191704] [UFW AUDIT] IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:00:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX SRC=<IP_ADDRESS> DST=<IP_ADDRESS> LEN=299 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=255 ID=29778 PROTO=UDP SPT=67 DPT=68 LEN=279
[20:35] <guntbert> Sterist: no, now it belongs to you
[20:35] <Sterist> guntbert polah alrighty im going to reboot
[20:35] <Polah> Sterist: No wait
[20:35] <Sterist> polah okay
[20:36] <Polah> Sterist: Try and log in on another shell before rebooting to see if it works. If you reboot and it doesn't work you won't be able to log in at all
[20:36] <rafael> Hi ! How do I enable Hibernate on Ubuntu 11.04 ? I remember selecting a swap partition.
[20:36] <guntbert> Sterist: and there should be no need to reboot at all
[20:36] <Sterist> polah how do i do that
[20:36] <Polah> Sterist: Switch to another TTY and try to log in
[20:36] <enzotib> rafael: it is big enough?
[20:37] <tomeo> I just installed the command line version of ubuntu on my netbook. When I start it I just a blinking cursor on the screen. Cant do anything. Any suggestions?
[20:37] <Sterist> polah forgive me, im not too familiar with the terms yet
[20:37] <rafael> enzotib, Substantial to cover the amount of RAM I use. However there is no Hibernate option.
[20:37] <Polah> Sterist: Ctrl+Alt+F1, type your username at the prompt them enter your password. Ctrl+Alt+F7 to get back to your GUI
[20:38] <WhitePelican> join #kde
[20:38] <Polah> tomeo: That'd be because there is no X server to provide a GUI. Go to another TTY, log in and then use that interface to install X and any desktop environment packages you want
[20:39] <tomeo> Polah: I cant write anything, so how would I get to another tty?
[20:39] <Sterist> polah it seems to work fine. i dont know what to look for beyond success logging in the shell
[20:39] <Polah> tomeo: You don't need to wrtie anything, just press Ctrl+Alt+Delete
[20:39] <Sterist> polah am i good to go?
[20:39] <rafael> enzotib, What's worse is that under System Monitor, under Swap, it shows "O bytes of O bytes".  This install is hardly three hours old.
[20:39] <Polah> Sterist: Seems like it, try rebooting and logging in on your GUI now
[20:39] <Sterist> polah will do :)
[20:39] <Polah> rafael: That means you have no active swap
[20:39] <enzotib> rafael: free -m, on pastebin
[20:40] <tomeo> Polah: that just reboots the computer
[20:40] <Chaotis> Fairly new to ubuntu, but using dmesg while starting up I see that my tv tuner card can't be autodetected and am told to use modprobe to take care of it. Doing so and restarting gives same message, and verbose options on modprobe show nothing still.
[20:40] <paul_> is there some way I can do a find search so that it looks for A or B and not A and B?
[20:41] <Chaotis> I know I can't access modprobe.d so where can I look to see if it's doing anything at all?
[20:41] <rafael> Polah, http://paste.ubuntu.com/690300/
[20:41] <rafael> enzotib, http://paste.ubuntu.com/690300/
[20:41] <enzotib> paul_: find /path -iname 'A' -o -iname 'B'
[20:42] <rafael> Polah, I do have a partition marked as Swap. if it is not 'active' how do I 'activate' it ?
[20:42] <paul_> enzotib: and I can keep adding to that ie. find /path -iname 'A' -o -name 'B' -o -name 'C' -o -iname 'D' ...
[20:42] <enzotib> rafael: sudo swapon $dev
[20:42] <Polah> rafael: Is it in your fstab?
[20:42] <enzotib> paul_: yes, so
[20:43] <Sterist_> polah guntbert brilliant. thank you very very very very /spam /spam very much :)
[20:43] <enzotib> paul_: or you can use regex
[20:43] <Sterist_> guntbert is this the proper command to run an app as root? gksudo /usr/bin/swscanner
[20:43] <rafael> Polah, I was using the Ubuntu Disk Utility app to troubleshoot.
[20:44] <paul_> enzotib: thanks, I'm gonna have ot learn myself on regex
[20:44] <Polah> Sterist_: For GUI applications, use gksudo, for command-line programs use sudo
[20:45] <Sterist> polah was that the correct command though? the app still complains about not having permission
[20:45] <rafael> Polah, fstab entry: http://paste.ubuntu.com/690304/
[20:45] <Polah> Sterist: If it's GUI, yes.
[20:45] <rafael> enzotib, Content of fstab: http://paste.ubuntu.com/690304/
[20:45] <wynn> Does anyone have a utility for organizing lots of media?  sort by category, media type, etc?
[20:46] <Polah> rafael: What's the cryptswap1?
[20:46] <Desconocido2> # Appears as Tongtyed.http://www.mermeliz.net/cr/dl/Tongtyed.AVB
[20:46] <Sterist> polah ooh nevermind it said device is busy. i forgot there was a drop box i had to change to scan with wifi. are you familiar with wardrivers?
[20:46] <joeoshawa> does ubuntu use uuid numbers in fstab like debian
[20:46] <Polah> Sterist: I know what the concept is, but not familiar yes
[20:46] <Polah> joeoshawa: Yes it can.
[20:46] <rafael> Polah, I have no idea. It may have something to do with selecting "Encrypt my home folder" during installation.
[20:47] <Sterist> polah do you think wifi would have to be off completely for the wardriver to utilize it?
[20:47] <Polah> rafael: Could be. Try commenting out that line and rebooting to attempt to move to the actual swap
[20:47] <Polah> Sterist: I don't know, sorry.
[20:47] <joeoshawa> "UUID=297B1DD26D952FED /home/shared  ntfs  user -rw  0 0" would that be a valid fstab entry for a ntfs drive i want to share
[20:48] <enzotib> joeoshawa: no
[20:48] <enzotib> joeoshawa: user,rw can be correct
[20:48] <Sterist> polah no problem. i'm going to experiment with it now but only with gksudo :)
[20:48] <rafael> Polah, Would it have anything to do with restricted drivers ?
[20:49] <Sterist> polah guntbert thank you again for all your help :)
[20:49] <Polah> rafael: I don't imagine so
[20:49] <joeoshawa> so everything else is good just change user -rw to user,rw
[20:49] <joeoshawa> ?
[20:49] <enzotib> joeoshawa: yes, but rw is in the defaults options, so no need to specify
[20:49] <neuq> does somebody know how to do initial setup on the ufw on Ubuntu 11.04?
[20:49] <Desconocido2> (#G110E08:RM1) <Chr>
[20:49] <Polah> joeoshawa: Yes
[20:49] <rafael> Polah, Thanks, I'l try.
[20:50] <Polah> neuq: I've never heard of an "inital setup" for ufw
[20:50] <joeoshawa> thanks people amazing i asked in the linux room and it appears i need to go to a ubuntu room to get help for a debian problem
[20:51] <FastZ> joeoshawa: you could always go to #debian
[20:51] <Desconocido2> (#G510E03:RM1Tjoeoshawa) it's just that there is more people here right now. That is all.
[20:52] <joeoshawa> in the linux room i got rtfm
[20:52] <milehigh> Does 11.04 still have the file /etc/init.d/gdm.conf
[20:52] <Desconocido2> (#G=10E010M1Tjoeoshawa) depends on the time of the day, you could get that here too.
[20:52] <joeoshawa> didn't know the man page can check syntax
[20:52] <Polah> neuq: man ufw   may be a good place to start
[20:52] <eyalw> Hi, I'm engineering a Bluetooth Keyboard, and I'm having problem interfacing with the Linux HID driver, any ideas how can I debug this?
[20:52] <yagoo> eyalw, the #kernel guys know this inside out
[20:53] <eyalw> yagoo: thanks!
[20:53] <joeoshawa> anyway thanks guys greatly appreciated
[20:54] <milehigh> can someone with 11.04 pastebin the /etc/init.d/gdm.conf please? mine is corrupted
[20:56] <dumpsta> looking for any help, im trying to install ubuntu on a system I just got running.  I am using uNetbootin, but no matter what option i choose the monitor looses signal then remains off indefinitely.  I'm thinking it's a problem with the video card drivers as there is no onboard video.  You guys heard of this? any ideas?
[20:57] <ActionParsnip> dumpsta: what video chip does the system have?
[20:57] <erik1984> dumpsta: it's a common problem with some video cards
[20:57] <dumpsta> radeon 6 series
[20:57] <ActionParsnip> dumpsta: add the boot option: nomodeset
[20:57] <uchiko> ok I have a very strange issue
[20:57] <erik1984> dumpsta: can be fixed by setting the boot option "nomodeset" before starting the life-session.
[20:57] <uchiko> Im trying to save a file with gedit
[20:58] <piranah> who needs the pastbin of gdm ?
[20:58] <uchiko> and the file is saved as far as edit is concerned
[20:58] <uchiko> but is never making it todisk
[20:58] <dumpsta> mind telling me how to do that? i read places that i have to hit f6 at the menu but i cant get past unetbootin
[20:58] <erik1984> uchiko: where are you trying to save the file? in your home or in a 'system' directory?
[20:58] <uchiko> regular home directory
[20:58] <Desconocido2> (#GE10E010M1Tpiranah) piranah: milehigh
[20:58] <piranah> pastebin for gdm is hxxp://pastebin.com/C5BV7pg3
[20:58] <uchiko> I can vi the changes without problems
[20:59] <uchiko> if I close g_edit then reopen gedit sees the changes
[20:59] <uchiko> If I move the file from the shell, g-edit doesn't see that the file is moved
[20:59] <uchiko> edit is doing some weird caching
[21:00] <joeoshawa> btw i didn't think there was a #debian room is there?
[21:00] <Desconocido2> (#GG10E010M1Tpiranah) sure there is. there is also an #opensuse and a #fedora
[21:01] <meandmesadfjskd> hoi: question about ktorrent: I'm getting lots and lots of "Authentication(s) ... failed".  (Some of) the trackers are "Ok", and there are enough seeders/leechers, but I keep on getting the failures. Any suggestions?
[21:01] <dumpsta> erik1984: so i see where to change to nomodeset, but unetbootin doesn't have those options, how do i get to a prompt that will let me do that?
[21:01] <Compgenius999> hey guys, where can I report bugs? not sure whether this is completely an ubuntu related issue, but basically a wifi config file ended up in the wrong directory, when it's supposed to be in a sub directory for the card to work at all
[21:01] <Polah> !launchpad | Compgenius999
[21:01] <uchiko> oh well I guess i will stick to vi
[21:01] <Compgenius999> kthx Polah
[21:02] <uchiko> this is just a very strange problem
[21:02] <uchiko> thats what happens when you make an editor too smart :)
[21:03] <joeoshawa> well thanks guys
[21:03] <neuq> i need some link about security for beginners
[21:03] <Compgenius999> neuq, security for what?
[21:03] <matter> how do i "become the owner" so i can deliete a flash drive so my linux iso will fit on it
[21:03] <Sterist> anyone familiar with SWScanner (war driver)
[21:03] <neuq> internet and wifi
[21:03] <Polah> neuq: What kind of security? Ubuntu is fairly secure by default
[21:04] <Polah> matter: sudo rm <file>
[21:04] <neuq> i used to think so
[21:04] <BluesKaj> meandmesadfjskd, not all trackers are going to connect , it's the nature of torrent trackers , make sure you dht and peer exchange enabled
[21:04] <Compgenius999> matter, you should type this: "mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb1"

[21:04] <jasonlfunk> I just installed Ubuntu Server on a Zotac ZBOXSD-ID10 and booted up and my terminal is getting filled with "pciehp Failed to check link status" and "pciehp Link Training Error occurs"
[21:04] <aemaeth> my printer says it can go to 1200dpi, the printer settings in preferences only goes to 600, how do i fix this?
[21:05] <jasonlfunk> Does anyone know how to either fix the error or get it to stop filling my terminal so I can try to figure out the error?
[21:05] <neuq> yea sure
[21:05] <Polah> neuq: wifi is dependent on you setting WPA encryption on it and not really Ubuntu's role.  It's not really necessary, malware isn't prevalent in Linux and your local ports are closed by default
[21:05] <meandmesadfjskd> BluesKaj:its not that I'm not seeing peers, or peers aren't seeing me. The problem is authentication failure.
[21:05] <erik1984> dumpsta: hitting ESC in that screen should bring you to this: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/807/ubuntubootoptions.png/
[21:06] <neuq> so if i connect to a wpa2 router it should be ok, right?
[21:06] <matter> Compgenius999: it said no such file
[21:06] <BluesKaj> meandmesadfjskd, for every torrent ?
[21:06] <erik1984> dumpsta: anyway I got those images from this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11064601 might be useful
[21:06] <Polah> neuq: Yes, your wireless traffic would be encrypted. WEP and WPA would also encrypt but aren't quite as secure any more
[21:06] <neuq> why do i get then that i have port 23 open?
[21:06] <Compgenius999> matter, going to PM you...
[21:06] <meandmesadfjskd> BluesKaj: yup. same problem for every torrent
[21:06] <neuq> why do i get then that i have port 23 open?
[21:07] <Polah> neuq: Is something listening on that port?
[21:07] <soreau> Hi guys, I used 'create new wireless connection' in nm-applet and it seems to be working except it's not broadcasting the ap name. Not really sure why
[21:07] <meandmesadfjskd> BluesKaj: i've only got 3 running, but all three have the problem
[21:07] <neuq> no, somebody is putting dbs on my computer
[21:07] <soreau> 'Create new wireless network'*
[21:07] <neuq> AND ftp
[21:07] <neuq> etc
[21:08] <Polah> neuq: You might have a rootkit or something like that, although that's fairly rare. Do  this:  dpkg -l | ftp     and tell me if it comes up with anything
[21:09] <BluesKaj> meandmesadfjskd, is it a specialty tracker like thebox.bz ?
[21:09] <th0r> Polah: maybe
[21:09] <neuq> right now Im not at my computer obviously
[21:09] <th0r> Polah: oops...maybe 'dpkg -l | grep ftp'?
[21:10] <neuq> but i know youre right, its a root kit
[21:10] <Polah> th0r, neuq: Yes that actually, | grep ftp
[21:10] <Polah> neuq: Which is something you've installed yourself most probably, not because your system was insecure. Like I said, it is fairly secure by default.
[21:11] <meandmesadfjskd> BluesKaj: including in the list of trackers is: openbittorrent.com, publicbt.com rarbg.com cpleft.com, desync.com novalayer.org, pow7.com
[21:11] <Polah> neuq: You could get ClamAV or some other antivirus or similar to attempt to remove the rootkit, or reinstall.
[21:11] <neuq> and the new install got a firewall actived and all?
[21:12] <perlstein> hello, what is a br100 interface?
[21:12] <neuq> or do i have to set up something before i go online?
[21:13] <neuq> thats why i was asking about uwf
[21:13] <Polah> neuq: No, you shouldn't unless you're visiting malicious sites and clicking "yes"/typing in your password when something randomly asks to do something when you didn't try to do that.
[21:13] <Polah> neuq: Like I said, ufw closes all ports by default, unless you open them or give something permission to open them
[21:13] <neuq> naw, it was more about torrents
[21:14] <Gredeu> gave them permission ?  ooooh ok
[21:14] <phretor> I have the swap space half full and the ram 3/4 free; why doesn't the kernel move stuff in ram?
[21:14] <Polah> neuq: So don't download and run malicious torrents.
[21:14] <neuq> Ive learned enough believe me
[21:15] <Polah> neuq: There's only a few rare cases where something will go wrong on it's own due to something malicious running. The rest of the time, it's because you (the user) has typed in your password to allow the malicious program to run with supreme privileges
[21:15] <perlstein> where can i read up on bridging using brXXX interfaces in Linux?
[21:15] <Desconocido2> (#G010E010M1Tneuq) all here
[21:16] <neuq> yea, i know
[21:16] <neuq> i think i was just careless about the torrent
[21:16] <Sterist> anyone familiar with SWScanner (war driver)
[21:16] <neuq> anyways, you live and you learn
[21:16] <neuq> thank you
[21:17] <wynn> can Find or another utility locate files with certain extended attributes?
[21:17] <Polah> phretor: You might have a high swappiness value. Linux will most rarely-accessed memory into swap to have more space in memory readily available for other programs that are actually acessing their data.
[21:17] <phretor> Polah: it's a default installation of Ubuntu Server 9.04
[21:19] <Polah> phretor: Run this: cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness
[21:19] <phretor> Polah: cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness
[21:19] <phretor> -> 60
[21:19] <dumpsta> erik1984: no i get a screen like this http://www.webscopia.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/UnetBootIn_Default-Option.png i can try hitting escape and see what happens
[21:19] <Polah> Phretor: Yes that's default. What is running on the server?
[21:20] <phretor> Polah: mainly MySQL and MongoDB
[21:20] <tomeo> Is the alternate installer the same thing as Ubuntu Netbook Edition?
[21:20] <majorastro> i am looking for a non bloated versionn of ubuntu
[21:20] <ActionParsnip> tomeo: the alternate installer installs a desktop OS but installs in text mode
[21:20] <phretor> Polah: from htop -> Mem[|||||||||||||||||||||||2142/7889MB] and Swp[|||||||||||||         5629/15255MB]
[21:21] <dumpsta> erik1984: i also found this page (at the bottom seems to be what i need to do) http://www.remastersys.com/forums/index.php?topic=1190.0;wap2 i just dont know how to properly add those lines to syslinux.cfg
[21:21] <Polah> phretor: Database daemons, if rarely being called upon to find something in their databases may move some parts of it's required data into swap I imagine.
[21:21] <bazu> hi i buy a new laptop lenovo y570 with video nvidia GeForce 555m with option Optimus and i wonder how to conf it
[21:21] <Polah> majorastro: You could get the minimal ISO and build your system from the bottom up.
[21:21] <ActionParsnip> majorastro: use the minimal ISO and you can build up as you wish. Lubuntu is an excellent choice for a sleek, official ubuntu
[21:21] <tomeo> ActionParsnip: happen to know how I get Ubuntu Netbook Edition?
[21:21] <ActionParsnip> bazu: optimus is painful
[21:21] <majorastro> okay thanks
[21:22] <ActionParsnip> tomeo: there is an unofficial PPA for the old netbook UI. It isn't developed any more though
[21:22] <tomeo> oh okay :/
[21:22] <bazu> ActionParsnip, i understand that by hard way
[21:22] <bazu> but do you know how to fix it
[21:22] <tomeo> Is there any way to make Ubuntu less of a resource hog?
[21:22] <jasonlfunk> How can I stop these messages from flooding my terminal "pciehp 0000:00:1c.0:pcie04: Link Training Error occurs"? I don't need to fix the error right now, but just to get it to stop printing it out to my console every second.
[21:23] <xangua> tomeo: try xubuntu or lubuntu
[21:23] <Polah> tomeo: Don't run as many programs, or get a lighter environment as that can typically use a lot of resources.
[21:23] <tomeo> lubuntu hangs on boot :/
[21:24] <Polah> tomeo: Sure you ISO and burn were proper?
[21:24] <ActionParsnip> tomeo: Lububntu uses light apps by default and is designed for low resource systems
[21:24] <tomeo> Polah: did it three times, and regular ubuntu works fine from the same USB
[21:24] <tomeo> Just that regular ubuntu is very slow on my machine
[21:24] <ActionParsnip> bazu: as in it causes issues. There is a project called bumblebee which can make it work but I have personally never seen a success story with it
[21:25] <ActionParsnip> tomeo: use lubuntu, it will fly
[21:25] <Polah> tomeo: You could try installed lxde from repos rather than lubuntu
[21:25] <tomeo> what is lxde?
[21:25] <bazu> ActionParsnip, so i must to wait nvidia to made drivers for linux ?
[21:25] <Polah> tomeo: The environment that Lubuntu uses...
[21:25] <tomeo> Polah: so I can install regular ubuntu and then change the desktop env?
[21:25] <Polah> tomeo: install lubuntu-desktop with apt and then on your login screen, select LXDE on the menu instead of "Ubuntu Classic" or "Unity"
[21:26] <Polah> tomeo: Yes. You can just install the second environment afterwards and then switch to it
[21:26] <excelsior> I have a DVD in a USB DVD drive, I've used the DVD to install to a laptop, but I can't get the computer to boot from the USB DVD. It has XP on it. I've gone over the BIOS several times. I've used the CD boot helper. What's wrong?
[21:26] <tomeo> I tried installing the command line version of ubuntu but that didnt work either. So now Im trying regular again because that worked before :)
[21:28] <jasonlfunk> How can I stop these messages from flooding my terminal "pciehp 0000:00:1c.0:pcie04: Link Training Error occurs"? I don't need to fix the error right now, but just to get it to stop printing it out to my console every second.
[21:29] <sveinse> Anyone here with experience with faulty nvidia drivers? I have a Dell latitude and after a while (many hours) the machine simply grinds to slow-mode in GUI but with no CPU load to explain the slowness
[21:30] <sveinse> It's not faulty HW, because Dell has recently changes the entire mobo
[21:30] <Desconocido2> (#G210E010M5) check top
[21:31] <kichawa> do you use huawei e1820?
[21:31] <matrillox> sup peeps
[21:31] <sveinse> top sais cpu is more or less idling
[21:31] <sveinse> memory is good. 30% of physical in use
[21:32] <szal> sveinse: what nVidia version?
[21:32] <[IFOC]75> in /etc/network/interfaces - what do "broadcast" and "network" refer to?
[21:32] <sveinse> szal: nvidia-current, which is 270.41.06 according to nvidia-settings
[21:32] <warren_sensei> Could anyone give me a hand? My mute button will automatically unmute at startup, after login, AND whenever any media starts playing, however it behaves correctly otherwise.
[21:33] <excelsior> I have a DVD in a USB DVD drive, I've used the DVD to install to a laptop, but I can't get the computer to boot from the USB DVD. It has XP on it. I've gone over the BIOS several times. I've used the CD boot helper. What's wrong?
[21:33] <ActionParsnip> bazu: no idea, I'm ignoring that technology. I think it's a cheap fix and should be scrapped
[21:33] <szal> sveinse: hmm..  you might wanna try to update from PPA (ubuntu-x-swat/updates; 280.13)
[21:33] <aeon-ltd> excelsior: the xp disk might not be bootable?, did you burn this?
[21:34] <ActionParsnip> bazu: keep your ears peeled, see if anything develops
[21:34] <excelsior> I have an Ubuntu DVD in a USB DVD drive, the DVD is good, but I can't get the computer to boot from the USB DVD. It has XP on it. I've gone over the BIOS several times. I've used the CD boot helper. What's wrong?
[21:35] <szal> excelsior: this is #ubuntu, not ##hardware
[21:35] <benoliver999> excelsior: Is the option there in the BIOS to choose a usb dvd drive? Sounds like a hardware issue to me
[21:35] <soreau> I'm trying to use 'Create new wireless network' and it seems to be working except it's not broadcasting the AP name. I'm not really sure what's wrong
[21:35] <[IFOC]75> I get the error "SIOCADDRT: No such process" when I use /etc/init.d/networking restart
[21:36] <excelsior> I have an Ubuntu DVD in a USB DVD drive, the DVD is good, so is the player, but I can't get the computer to boot from the USB DVD. The computer has XP on it. I've gone over the BIOS several times. I've used the CD boot helper (from the XP side). What's wrong?
[21:36] <aeon-ltd> excelsior: the xp disk might not be bootable?, did you burn this?
[21:36] <szal> !repeat | excelsior
[21:37] <benoliver999> excelsior: If the option to boot from the USB DVD is not in the BIOS, then that's not an Ubuntu problem.
[21:37] <excelsior> Repetition is for clarity, not because I feel ignored.
[21:38] <aeon-ltd> excelsior: CAN YOU HEAR ME?!!!!
[21:38] <excelsior> xp is installed on the computer, I don't have an XP disk.
[21:38] <benoliver999> soreau: Do devices connect to the AP?
[21:38] <wayne_> Hello > I'm looking for an (IMAGE) Burning ISO program for linux anybody have any ideas?
[21:38] <majorastro> why is google blockking twit
[21:38] <benoliver999> majorastro: They got hacked.
[21:38] <majorastro> is says site can harm my computer
[21:38] <majorastro> they did
[21:39] <karlhunt> excelsior what is the make of your computer?
[21:39] <benoliver999> majorastro: Fixed now, could be some time before it's all back up.
[21:39] <soreau> benoliver999: I didn't try 'connect to hidden wireless network' because I don't have a device handy to connect with..
[21:39] <szal> wayne_: any burning program can do that
[21:39] <majorastro> interesting
[21:39] <wayne_> that doest help
[21:39] <wayne_> doesn't
[21:39] <majorastro> ok thanks
[21:39] <benoliver999> soreau: You could really do with finding out if the AP actually works.
[21:39] <gh0st> simple question. Wine selects the incorrect audio DEVICE. NOT driver. how do i make it select the right audio device? (not under sound tab)
[21:39] <majorastro> how do i irc to twit
[21:40] <wayne_> wtf?
[21:40] <soreau> benoliver999: Yes but I want it to be broadcast first.. I want to find out why it isn't
[21:40] <szal> !language | wayne_
[21:40] <wayne_> I said wtf nothing is bad their I wanted help and I was refused I'm leaving anyways
[21:40] <wayne_> bye
[21:41] <soreau> benoliver999: I was able to get it to broadcast and connect from a client with hostapd but I'd like the standard way to work
[21:41] <usernamer> Hi, how can I otherise access "startup applications" in 11.10 beta? The normal "startup applications" list is empty.
[21:42] <mkfort> are you serious, you can't say wtf her? that's ridiculous
[21:42] <aeon-ltd> excelsior: if you have other media (though you can use unetbootin to 'dual boot') there is a tool that may help, it can supposedly boot from any other media even if the BIOS won't. here --> http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager.html
[21:42] <karlhunt> usernamer from the power menu top right
[21:42] <Ontolog> Hello, I just want to list the services that will run for the default boot level. Is there an easy way to do that?
[21:42] <szal> usernamer: please ask in #ubuntu+1
[21:42] <excelsior> I thought the issue might have been an antivirus, so I uninstalled all of them. The make is Dell. The model is old. Optiplex GX280. Internal optical drive doesn't work/won't eject.
[21:42] <karlhunt> excelsior hit f12 on bootup
[21:42] <karlhunt> it will launch a boot menu
[21:42] <usernamer> karlhunt: It still shows empty
[21:43] <usernamer> szal: ok
[21:43] <excelsior> karlhunt: I've done that
[21:43] <benoliver999> soreau: I can't think what the problem could be I'm afraid.
[21:43] <karlhunt> excelsior is cd-rom listed?
[21:43] <benoliver999> soreau: What network manager are you using?
[21:43] <excelsior> Yes, want specific listing?
[21:43] <excelsior> s
[21:43] <soreau> benoliver999: Well I hope it isn't the wifi card or drivers because it seems to do the same in fedora. Creates the ap but does not broadcast
[21:44] <benoliver999> soreau: That sucks.
[21:44] <soreau> benoliver999: I'm using the default network manager in natty
[21:44] <karlhunt> excelsior select cdrom and it will boot from it
[21:44] <benoliver999> soreau: You could try wicd.
[21:44] <karlhunt> usernamer its empty if you havent added anything
[21:44] <tarmstrong> My ubuntu 11.04 thinkpad x220 keeps freezing, and I'm not sure how to go about finding the cause. I can't find anything useful in syslog or kern.log or Xorg.log. Any debugging tips?
[21:44] <karlhunt> usernamer mine only has dropbox
[21:44] <excelsior> karlhunt: no it won't.
[21:45] <soreau> benoliver999: but IIRC, it was working in fedora a few days ago, at least braodcasting
[21:45] <gh0st> simple question. Wine selects the incorrect audio DEVICE. NOT driver. how do i make it select the right audio device? (not under sound tab)
[21:46] <szal> gh0st: should be in Playback Streams when audio is playing
[21:46] <excelsior> on F12, device menu says Onboard or USB CD-ROM drive, Onboard SATA Hard Drive, System Setup, Hard Drive Diagnostics, and Boot to Utility Partition
[21:46] <sveinse> szal: Installed nvidia 280.13 from PPA. Now I'll have to wait and see if it sticks. Thanks
[21:47] <excelsior> Maybe I should uninstall the internal drive.
[21:47] <excelsior> Yes?
[21:47] <Escherial> wow, unity + the gimp = pain
[21:47] <gh0st> not sure what you mean. when i launch "winecfg" from command line, and select the audio tab, i see that its clearly accessing the incorrect sound card.
[21:47] <Escherial> every time i click a layer, i lose the global menu options
[21:47] <Escherial> and just in general the thing is hellishly clunky compared to, say, photoshop
[21:47] <Escherial> or even paint.net on windows
[21:48] <Underscore> Hey, I'm wondering if anyone could help me work out how I would go about dual booting Win7 and Ubuntu if I've already installed Ubuntu on my (single) HDD.
[21:48] <karlhunt> excelsior all our machines at work are dell and we have many optiplex machines. They all boot when "on board or usb cd-rom" is selected
[21:48] <karlhunt> There must be an issue with the rom drive
[21:48] <karlhunt> or disk
[21:48] <nucc1> does anyone know if its possible to use courier with md5 passwords in a mysql database?
[21:48] <Danielpk> how i add pon VPN at Server startup?
[21:48] <szal> gh0st: in the mixer or in pavucontrol
[21:49] <excelsior> hmmm, I'll uninstall the internal one later.
[21:49] <MonkeyDust> Underscore: if you install win7 AFTER ubuntu, you will have to repair grub
[21:49] <karlhunt> excelsior you tried creating a live usb instead?
[21:49] <excelsior> not yet, that's my next one
[21:50] <Underscore> MonkeyDust: Yeah, I kinda realise that now, but I already had to wipe my whole installation since I messed it up lol, so I was wondering if there was a way to do it this way round
[21:50] <karlhunt> excelsior, use unetbootin under windows and the iso (assuming windows is still there)
[21:50] <sveinse> Underscore: Just make sure you don't mess with the Ubuntu partition(s) when installing Win7. Windows has a tendency to wanting to erase the whole thing
[21:50] <MonkeyDust> Underscore: first win (on /dev/sda1) and then ubuntu
[21:50] <Underscore> sveinse: Right, but how would I go about making the partitions for WIndows?
[21:50] <gh0st> i did that, your not understanding. my audio works great, the problem lies in WINE, i cant change ITS default device.
[21:51] <Underscore> MonkeyDust: So there's no way to install Ubuntu first? D:
[21:51] <Phr3d13> i have a samsung messager II where can i find a video transcoder that will output to a format that will work for my phone?
[21:51] <MonkeyDust> Underscore: if you like to repair grub
[21:51] <Phr3d13> gh0st, you're having audio problems with wine programs?
[21:52] <sveinse> Underscore: Given that you start from scratch (I understand you're not) I'd install win7 first, but make sure the partition for win7 doesn't fill the entire disk. Install win7. *then* install ubuntu. Ubuntu will then find the win7 partition and install the proper settings for dualboot
[21:52] <Underscore> MonkeyDust: Damn, since I spent ages trying to configure stuff in Ubuntu already :P
[21:52] <gh0st> yes, because its using incorrect sound card
[21:53] <Underscore> sveinse: Right well I am essentially installing from scratch. Would you recommend having a third partition for data to share between the two?
[21:53] <excelsior> karlhunt: when I select the Onboard or USB CD=ROM Drive on the Device Menu it says "[Sele]cted boot devist not available - [something]ike F1 to retry boot, F2 for setup utility" (brackets indicate offscreen)
[21:53] <sveinse> Underscore: You can install ubuntu first, but as I've said windows has special requirements on partitioning which you might or might not have gotten right when you installed ubuntu
[21:53] <Phr3d13> applications>wine>configure wine>audio tab - did you try that?
[21:53] <excelsior> devist = device
[21:54] <karlhunt> Underscore, use gparted to shrink the partitions to created enough free space for win 7 then install win 7 then use ubuntu to fix grub after (win7 will overwrite grub) done it many times
[21:54] <gh0st> no device selection under audio tab
[21:54] <karlhunt> excelsior, sounds like a faulty drive tried unplugging replugging or another drive?
[21:54] <karlhunt> excelsior, or easier still make live usb
[21:54] <xxx_x> I am trying to mount a hard drive but I am having problems.  I can only view it with gparted if I use the command #gparted /dev/whatever.  GRUB is installed to the mbr, do I need to remove it to be able to mount the drive?
[21:55] <excelsior> otherwise the USB drive works fine. I'll try the live USB. Maybe it won't work since the master drive is broken?
[21:55] <karlhunt> xxx_x, gparted needs to be root
[21:56] <sveinse> Underscore: I'd say no. I have four partitions on my system: 1) win7 recovery 2) win7 5) swap 6) linux.   (5 and 6 means extended partitions). I've made linux sufficiently large, but all files, downloads, etc. are stored on the win7 partition. Linux has good access to NTFS, but win7 doesn't for ext
[21:56] <xxx_x> karlhunt, the solution isn't as simple as that..
[21:56] <Underscore> sveinse: I think I will just start again from scratch tbh. Then I can choose the size of my Windows partition and leave free space ready for Ubuntu? And is this possible during the Windows installation? Also, is there a way to make a third partition during Windows installation to use for my data?
[21:56] <Phr3d13> gh0st, do you get sound for a little bit then no sound?
[21:56] <sveinse> Underscore: Yes, you can set the size of the partition, IIRC
[21:56] <Underscore> sveinse: Ah ok, that sounds easier
[21:57] <Underscore> sveinse: And the win7 recovery partition is automatically generated?
[21:57] <karlhunt> xxx_x,  whats the mount error?
[21:57] <gh0st> nope, just no sound outright. wine uses my HDMI card for audio, not my actual audio card, wrong device, silence
[21:57] <Underscore> sveinse: So basically as long as I leave some space during the initial win7 install then ubuntu should be fine right
[21:58] <szal> Underscore: this is not Windows support here..  but if you have an OEM medium that just dubs an image on the HDD, you might not have a choice as to the partition layout; you should then get a 'real' installation medium
[21:58] <Phr3d13> gh0st, wine doesn't play well with pulseaudio, when using wine, i completely kill pulseaudio and use alsa
[21:58] <excelsior> otherwise the USB drive works fine. I'll try the live USB. Maybe it won't work since the master drive is broken?
[21:58] <sveinse> Underscore: Yes, I think so.
[21:58] <gh0st> alsa is selected
[21:58] <xxx_x> karlhunt, I can't remember I think it said invalid file system or something.  There are several different partitions with os's n stuff.  When I open it with #gparted /dev/whatever it only shows a single partition where one can be created
[21:58] <karlhunt> Underscore, windows 7 is also easy to resize if you get it wrong under control panel > administritive tools > computer management
[21:58] <Underscore> sveise: szal: Great thanks for the help guys
