[00:00] <ActionParsnip> ccc: ok when people ask for information, please give the RIGHT information
[00:01] <ActionParsnip> digirak: whats a linker?
[00:01] <digirak> ActionParsnip: compiler linker
[00:01] <ActionParsnip> digirak: I don't compile dude
[00:01] <ccc> ActionParsnip, A6000
[00:01] <konaya> kj6lxu, could you give me line 4 of the file /usr/share/applications/nautilus-home.desktop?
[00:01] <aykut> Nevyn1: i have lcd tv with hdmi. i have i7, i have a looot of ram but i cant have a hdd
[00:01] <aykut> boot ubuntu on my usb stick
[00:01] <digirak> ActionParsnip: sorry buddy can you tell me who could help me in case you know
[00:03] <ActionParsnip> ccc: do you have a shortcut combo to disable and enable the touchpad at all?
[00:03] <[Adam|Miner]_> My machine is only booting into a CLI, how can I get out?
[00:03] <Nevyn1> awww..... sounds nice, aykut. Just try, it has a kind of natural feel to it, a bit like the IPAD or Android interfaces. Plus, if you got the hardware but no money for a decent sized stick, you need to rethink your prioritys.
[00:04] <konaya> [Adam|Miner]_, try logging in via the CLI and then type startx
[00:04] <konaya> What happens?
[00:04] <Nevyn1>  [Adam|Miner]_, might I suggest StartX?
[00:04] <ccc> ActionParsnip, ok excuse me, the model is A6V :P
[00:05] <ActionParsnip> ccc: you sure this time. I don't appreciate the runaround!
[00:05] <nillerz> So I found a good chunk of code specific to PSX controllers. This thing is most similar to PSX controllers.
[00:05] <konaya> kj6lxu, still alive?
[00:05] <ccc> ActionParsnip, i don't know the combo to enable and disable the touchpad
[00:05] <kj6lxu> konaya:TryExec=nautilus
[00:05] <Reallycool> most of the Fn+F(x) combos don't work on my EeePC, is there a way to map them manually?
[00:05] <soraya> do i need to use terminal to install Ubuntu PPC on MAC
[00:05] <nillerz> its output is in bytes... so... here goes.
[00:05] <kj6lxu> konaya: TryExec=nautilus
[00:05] <[Adam|Miner]_> startx just shows a bunch of commands, then has a fatal server error "could not create lock file in /tmp/.tX0-lock"
[00:05] <jrib>  !ppc | soraya
[00:05] <ActionParsnip> ccc: ok cool, can you give a pastebin of the output of:  lsmod    Thanks
[00:06] <konaya> kj6lxu, alright. What happens if you open a new terminal, type nautilus, and press enter?
[00:06] <ccc> !paste
[00:06] <[Adam|Miner]_> ack, need to leave, gonna have to try later :(
[00:07] <itaylor57> Interesting 10.10 64 bit icon on the far right (shutdown/restart icon) changed several days ago then reset and is now wrong, anyone else having this problem?
[00:07] <ActionParsnip> ccc: try: sudo modprobe -rv psmouse; sudo modprobe -v psmouse proto=imps         if you see 'psmouse' listed
[00:08] <ccc> ActionParnip:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/571429/
[00:08] <kj6lxu> konaya: it opens but when i go in to a sub folder there is a ubuntu one disabled notice at the top
[00:09] <digirak> ping anyone here knows something about linkers?
[00:09] <itaylor57> digirak: what are you compiling?
[00:10] <konaya> kj6lxu, should be an unrelated problem, not sure. Could you give me line 1 of the file .gtk-bookmarks in your home folder? I think I know what the problem could be, just need to find where exactly we change it back.
[00:11] <Lastwolf> QUIT
[00:11] <kj6lxu> konaya: file:///home/sydmarty/Documents
[00:11] <Nevyn1> interesting.... solved problems draw joins like shit draws flies.
[00:12] <amh345> my wireless connection in ubuntu server is continuously dropping and i have no clue why.  it seems like after 10 seconds or so of being connected.. i get bounced. is there a way to figure out why?
[00:12] <ccc> ActionParsnip: good, now the touchpad work. But it work to next reboot?
[00:12] <konaya> kj6lxu, run gconftool-2 -g /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/file/command
[00:12] <konaya> kj6lxu, What does it say?
[00:12] <digirak> itaylor57: I am compiling c-code to read from a file
[00:13] <Nevyn1>  amh345 , my first guess would be getting a logfile from all incoming and outgoing traffic. Though I do not know how to do it.....
[00:13] <sougata> amh345, are you sure no one is sharing your ip ?
[00:14]  * Nevyn1 is ashamed
[00:14] <kj6lxu> :konaya it does not reconize the command    "   run    "
[00:14] <kj6lxu> konaya: it does not reconize the command    "   run    "
[00:14] <amh345> sougata: good question on the ip deal. imma check
[00:14] <itaylor57> digirak: so you are getting unresolved symbols
[00:14] <tetsuo---> Does anyone know why empathy opens an extra icon? why doesnt it simply use the existing mail icon?
[00:14] <konaya> kj6lxu, that might be because the word "run" wasn't part of the command.  :)
[00:14] <digirak> itaylor57: no i am getting this 0x001a47fd in __isoc99_fscanf () from /lib/libc.so.6
[00:15] <digirak> itaylor57: segfault
[00:15] <konaya> kj6lxu, just gconftool-2 -g /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/file/command
[00:16] <kj6lxu> konaya: sorry about the bone head move and it prints out       No value set for `/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/file/command'
[00:17] <konaya> kj6lxu, no worries :) Hm.  These might work, not sure. Quite frankly, I'm a bit confused as to what it might be, but that might override the problem if we're lucky.
[00:19] <digirak> itaylor57: alright sounds good
[00:19] <konaya> Reminds me of Windows, which tended to get all kinds of association problems.
[00:20] <konaya> Or tends. Dunno. Haven't used the crud for many years now :)
[00:20] <konaya> kj6lxu, did they work?
[00:21] <antihc3> ok even if i go to another console or power saver kicks in i can not get the screen to come back until i connect via VGA to and external monitor
[00:21] <itaylor57> Interesting 10.10 64 bit icon on the far right (shutdown/restart icon) changed several days ago then reset and is now wrong, anyone else having this problem? just trying to fix or find out why
[00:21] <konaya> Sweet, it worked! :)
[00:21] <antihc3> itaylor57, i do not have that problem but i just installed and updated fully
[00:22] <konaya> There should be a Swedish Ubuntu paid support line. I would so file a job application.
[00:23] <IsmAvatar> Hey guys, can I get help getting sound working again on my 10.10? I don't really know what sound driver it's using, but there's nothing coming out of my speakers
[00:23] <itaylor57> !sound | IsmAvatar
[00:24] <konaya> IsmAvatar, what did you do immediately before the symptoms started showing?
[00:24] <IsmAvatar> konaya: I haven't touched this thing in a year. It's probably halfway between installing OSS or something like that.
[00:25] <konaya> IsmAvatar, so you haven't installed any updates lately or anything?
[00:26] <IsmAvatar> konaya: actually I have. I upgraded it from 9.10 to 10.04 and then to 10.10 just this week. But at the start of the week, sound wasn't working, and after the upgrades, it's no better and no worse.
[00:26] <konaya> IsmAvatar, what happens if you run alsamixer in a terminal?
[00:26] <konaya> (Also, what could be worse than "not working?"=
[00:26] <konaya> )
[00:27] <IsmAvatar> konaya: cannot open mixer: No such file or directory
[00:27] <konaya> I suppose "not working and caught fire"
[00:27] <IsmAvatar> and I've seen worse than not working
[00:27] <konaya> Hm.
[00:27] <ruijian> good morning
[00:27] <IsmAvatar> for instance, I've had my sound driver problems crash programs
[00:27] <salman_> hi
[00:27] <konaya> Sound problems is not my forte, but we'll try some more things.
[00:28] <drewdbp> ismavatar:you have the option to reinstall 10.10 through cd
[00:28] <IsmAvatar> drewdbp: aware. And I'll certainly do that if nothing else works.
[00:28] <drewdbp> did u installed it via netinst?
[00:29] <IsmAvatar> I installed it originally via CD, back in the days of 8.04. I've upgraded using the standard Update Manager "Upgrade Now" button.
[00:29] <salman_> hi
[00:29] <konaya> IsmAvatar, actually, that might be your best option all-round. There's a lot of crust lying around, and a system likes a reinstall now and again regardless of operating system.
[00:30] <konaya> That's why having a separate /home-partition is so convenient :)
[00:31] <konaya> But if you want to try fixing it without reinstalling, I'd suggest opening synaptic and reinstalling everything with the name "alsa" in it.
[00:31] <IsmAvatar> konaya: I could be wrong, but usually installed programs don't reside in /home. Most of the hastle of a reinstall would not be backing up data (there is virtually none), but just installing all the stuff I had again. And it seems like it's hardly worth the hastle for something as simple as the sound driver not working.
[00:33] <konaya> IsmAvatar, true, installed programs usually don't reside in /home. But you could get a listing of all installed packages and simply reinstall them again. Would take a quarter hour or so, but it would be mostly automated. Hm. There should be a migration mechanism for that. Wishlist item.
[00:34] <IsmAvatar> should I get alsa-oss?
[00:34] <konaya> IsmAvatar, shouldn't have any bearing right now.
[00:34] <amh345> my ips arent conflicting... and im still dropping connect from wireless.
[00:35] <immy> which folders other than ~ should i backup? config files? root?
[00:35] <IsmAvatar> immy: most config files are hidden in ~
[00:35] <konaya> IsmAvatar, ah damned... I kinda need to go, it's 01:30 over here and I have work in the morning :( I hope someone else here will step in and help you, or that you find your solution regardless.
[00:36] <IsmAvatar> konaya: it's alright. It's a pretty generic problem, so I'm sure I'll find help.
[00:36] <IsmAvatar> thanks for your help so far
[00:36] <immy> i was browsing through ~ just now and realised that many of the .folders hold config info
[00:36] <konaya> No worries :)
[00:36] <konaya> immy, that's usually what they're for.
[00:37] <IsmAvatar> immy: that's what I meant by 'hidden'
[00:37] <konaya> Anyways, 'ta!
[00:37] <immy> ya they don't list by default
[00:37] <IsmAvatar> linux usually starts a filename with . (dot) to indicate hidden.
[00:37] <immy> oh i see
[00:37] <zer0rez> wow, why did ubuntu go w/ empathy as the default client?! can't handle joining the support irc channel, freaking out on my gtalk account.
[00:38] <IsmAvatar> it eliminates the need for an extra file descriptor bit
[00:38] <immy> i see
[00:38] <teage> is that . (dot), is that a linux thing or is it a unix thing?
[00:38] <teage> just wondering
[00:38] <zer0rez> anyone setup a "new" aluminum apple wireless/bt keyboard w/ 10.10?
[00:38] <IsmAvatar> teage: not sure, but the concept of hidden files seems like mostly a linux thing.
[00:39] <IsmAvatar> although there is a difference between ls and ls -a
[00:39] <immy> so there's really nothing in root i need to worry about backing up?
[00:39] <immy> also, is it possible to save a list of the packages i have installed?
[00:40] <IsmAvatar> immy: not usually. Not unless you're doing some hacking. Most of the stuff in there is just program data which will be repopulated when you install the programs again.
[00:40] <IsmAvatar> sorry, that was for the root backup
[00:40] <immy> ya i got that
[00:40] <IsmAvatar> someone else will have to help you get a listing of installed packages.
[00:41] <immy> no worries and thx
[00:41] <immy> :)
[00:42] <immy> found something: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/clone-your-ubuntu-installation.html
[00:42] <Oer> zer0rez,  http://askubuntu.com/questions/12502/how-do-i-get-the-apple-wireless-keyboard-working-in-10-10
[00:42] <caseinpoint> does anybody know if there is a VNC server that allows for a NAT 2 NAT service for Ubuntu?
[00:43] <zer0rez> Oer: thanks reading now
[00:43] <caseinpoint> I have a static IP and I'd like to have a server run on my ubuntu system that would allow me to connect to a client even if I wasn't at home where my ubuntu server was.
[00:44] <teage> can anyone tell me why my mouse acts very sloppy under maverick yet works half decent on lucid? using toshiba a135 s4487 laptop. could not find much info online. been a pain.
[00:44] <zer0rez> Oer: ah i did have this one open, just was hoping there was a "simpler" solution, i'll do this in a bit thanks
[00:45] <immy> i'm using google chrome which is installed in /opt... i don't see any config folder for chrome in ~ i wonder where the bookmarks and other config info is stored...
[00:45] <aeon-ltd> teage: sensitivity or lag?
[00:45] <teage> lag
[00:45] <aeon-ltd> teage: running compiz?
[00:45] <pipegeek> where, if anywhere are there mirrors of old, unsupported ubuntu releases?  I'm specifically looking for a kernel from intrepid
[00:46] <teage> aeon-ltd, i move the pointer and when i stop, pointer goes that extra mile if you know what i mean
[00:46] <xangua> immy: how about..... ~/.chome ¿¿
[00:46] <xangua> chrome*
[00:46] <teage> no compiz aeon-ltd
[00:46] <pipegeek> ah, found it
[00:46] <aeon-ltd> teage: whats system monitor like?
[00:46] <immy> nope - its in ~/.config/google-chrome
[00:46] <immy> doh
[00:47] <brandom> Does anyone here know of a tool that will validate the integrity of files after an installation?  e.g. verify that files have not changed since apt-get/dpkg put them there?
[00:48] <amh345> im getting 85% packet loss and i dont know why
[00:48] <amh345> wpa_supplicant
[00:48] <amh345> can anyone offer some pointers?
[00:49] <martin_> does anyone of you use canto?
[00:50] <brandom> amh345: I don't know much about wifi, but if you are in an area with lots of other ppl you might be sharing channels and increasing each other's noise.  But, this isn't #wifi so I'll stop.
[00:50] <amh345> brandom: that's not it. its a config issue.  gautenteed
[00:51] <amh345> i *had* this working like a charm before i reformatted. now it's all mangled
[00:51] <Docfxit> I started an update to Ubuntu 10.10 many hours ago.  I looks like it has been frozen for hours.  Should I just power it off with the power button.  I can move the mouse but can't click on anything.
[00:51] <immy> i had that happen to me - it is the window manager thingy
[00:52] <nit-wit> Docfxit, crtl-alt-prtc reisub  is a soft restart
[00:52] <nit-wit> *prtsc
[00:53] <immy> so when the window freezes like that you do a soft restart - happened to me once before... what happens to whatever you were working on? i guess it depends on the programme right?
[00:53] <Docfxit> nit-wit, is prtc the same as print screen?
[00:54] <nit-wit> Docfxit, yeh
[00:54] <joejc18> ubuntu one seems to suck if i cancel now do i get my $1 back?
[00:54] <shentino> joejc18:  Could you be more specific with "suck"?
[00:54] <nit-wit> Docfxit, if you sub an a o for the b it is off rather then reboot
[00:55] <Docfxit> nit-wit, That doesn't do anything.
[00:55] <nit-wit> Docfxit, how an=bout crtl-alt-f2 to a tty
[00:55] <joejc18> it doesnt seem to be syncing and if it is its going to be forever AND i cant sync my whole music library
[00:55] <tyler_d> trying to reset cheese webcam settings ---> problem is that its stuck in black and white mode
[00:56] <IsmAvatar> Hey guys, can I get help getting sound working again on my 10.10? I don't really know what sound driver it's using, but there's nothing coming out of my speakers. Already tried the troubleshooting guide.
[00:56] <Madpilot> joejc, #ubuntuone might be able to help, but "suck" is kind of a vague bug report...
[00:57] <immy> ism did you take a look in syslog for error messages?
[00:57] <Docfxit> nit-wit, I don't know what you mean: "if you sub an a o for the b it is off rather then reboot"
[00:57] <shentino> that's my point.  suck is a bit vague
[00:57] <IsmAvatar> immy: syslog?
[00:57] <joejc18> i dont care about bugs i care about my 1 month free trail not being free and not getting what i paid for
[00:57] <immy> ya its in ummm... /var/log
[00:57] <nit-wit> Docfxit, the reisub=reboot reisuo=off  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reisub
[00:58] <Madpilot> joejc18, #ubuntuone and ask there.
[00:58] <immy> you might see something regarding your audio
[00:59] <immy> my syslog has many entries: wpa_supplicant - failed to initiate ap scan
[00:59] <IsmAvatar> immy: http://pastebin.com/B7J3pRun not seeing any one in particular about audio except maybe soundon.log
[00:59] <immy> i generally have my wireless adapter disabled - why is it trying to scan for wireless when my wireless is disabled?
[00:59] <Docfxit> nit-wit, I tried crtl-alt-f2 , it didn't do anything.   I don't know what this means: to a tty
[01:00] <sabboo> nitwit?
[01:00] <sabboo> more like chill pill!
[01:00] <IsmAvatar> immy: soundon.log doesn't seem to be listing any errors, although I see a couple of references to oss_ich0
[01:01] <nit-wit> Docfxit, tty is the command line out of the desktop, i would just do a hard shutdown  guess, it should be okay, hard to say though not knowing the actual update/upgrade.
[01:02] <kamalmv> i have a wireless modem with a pc  os-ubuntu.....how can i connect a lan through wireless to a laptop with windows 7??????
[01:02] <Skeeter-> Could anyone help me to install grub on a LVM
[01:02] <Docfxit> nit-wit, I can't get to a command line.  I guess I'll try a hard shutdown and see what happens.
[01:02] <immy> u need to open up syslog - open it with gedit or in cli less
[01:03] <sabboo> Skeeter-, don't mean to sound stupid but LVM?
[01:03] <sabboo> must mean something special
[01:04] <psusi> Skeeter-, ask a more specific question ;)
[01:04] <Docfxit> nit-wit, Thanks for your help.
[01:04] <IsmAvatar> immy: ah. Well, not seeing anything relevant in syslog. A couple network things, but nothing sound-related.
[01:04] <Neptunes> hi im stuck in ctrl+alt+f1 mode how do i return to normal mode
[01:04] <IsmAvatar> Neptunes: Ctrl+Alt+F6
[01:04] <sabboo> Docfxit, http://www.google.com/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=grub+lvm&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8
[01:04] <IsmAvatar> or Alt+F6
[01:04] <afat> heyyy heellppp geeks!!!i am trying to install my ubuntu 10.10 from my usb in shellf..what is the command that i need to use to it to start installing?
[01:05] <Skeeter-> psusi: sec i got friend that just logged in
[01:05] <sabboo> Docfxit, you want to install grub on a raid?
[01:05] <Neptunes> tty6 comes then
[01:05] <IsmAvatar> Neptunes: sorry, I meant F7
[01:05] <IsmAvatar> Ctrl+alt+f7 or Alt+f7
[01:06] <Docfxit> sabalaba, I don't have a raid.
[01:06] <Neptunes> still nothing
[01:06] <sabboo> Docfxit, that is only possible when the raid is hardware (like a real serer) not software like Linux allows on desktops
[01:06] <afat> heyyy heellppp geeks!!!i am trying to install my ubuntu 10.10 from my usb in shellf..what is the command that i need to use to it to start installing?
[01:06] <IsmAvatar> Neptunes: then it sounds like your xserver might have called it quits. Number 7 is where the XServer normally is
[01:06] <lillecarl> ctrl atl f7 is defaul for graphicat user inteface
[01:06] <lillecarl> else you can use f1
[01:06] <lillecarl> log in with your user
[01:06] <lillecarl> then type startx
[01:06] <lillecarl> :)
[01:07] <Docfxit> sabalaba, I'm running Ubuntu from a thumb drive.
[01:07] <jordan_> annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd Im back
[01:07] <lillecarl> Docfxit, read what i said
[01:07] <Neptunes> ok thanks
[01:07] <jordan_> can anyone help me with installing the UrbanTerror game, i just finished dl'ing it?
[01:07] <lillecarl> jordan_, what os is it for?
[01:07] <shentino> There are some funky looking nicknames in the alphabetical head end of the list here
[01:07] <jordan_> ubuntu
[01:07] <jordan_> 64
[01:07] <amh345> iwconfig shows im connected to my wireless.  but why would i be having crazy packet loss?
[01:07] <nit-wit> Docfxit, how big is the thumb and how is it loaded
[01:08] <lillecarl> what format where on the file you downloaded?
[01:08] <Chilaquiles> is there any way to free the memory on ubuntu? sometimes I don have anything running and I have a lot of memory usage
[01:08] <jordan_> lillecarl, what do u mean?
[01:08] <Pici> shentino: Nothing to worry about, just some unresolved nicks due to netsplits and whatnot.
[01:08] <lillecarl> Chilaquiles, http://linuxatemyram.com
[01:08] <teddyb> how do i go about forcing software center /  update manager to install / update untrusted packages?
[01:08] <lillecarl> jordan_, the game you downloaded
[01:09] <lillecarl> did you use http or apt-get/aptitude?
[01:09] <IsmAvatar> Can anyone help me get my sound working again? I think it's halfway between Alsa and OSS or somesuch.
[01:09] <jrib> teddyb: from where?  A ppa?
[01:09] <sabboo> sabalaba, did he mean that for me?
[01:09] <teddyb> jrib yep
[01:09] <Docfxit> lillecarl, Thanks,  I get an error "x: user not authorized to run the x server, aborting.
[01:09] <jrib> teddyb: go to the PPA's website and add the key
[01:09] <IsmAvatar> Docfxit: sudo
[01:09] <jordan_> lillecarl, i downloaded it straight from the urban terror site
[01:09] <jordan_> ohhhh
[01:09] <teddyb> k thanks jrib
[01:10] <jordan_> um
[01:10] <Chilaquiles> lillecarl: the problem is that sometimes I can't hybernate my laptop because it says that there's not enough memory
[01:10] <lillecarl> Docfxit, log in with root instead on f2 if you wanna start the xserver then :)
[01:10] <jordan_> http
[01:10] <Chilaquiles> the problem is that sometimes I can't hybernate my laptop because it says that there's not enough memory
[01:10] <Chilaquiles> And I have 1.5G in memory!!
[01:10] <rmd_> Soo..... dd if=desktop.iso of=/dev/sdb results in a usb stick that isn't bootable...
[01:10] <lillecarl> Chilaquiles how much swap space do you have?
[01:10] <rmd_> How can I make it bootable?
[01:10] <buttking> jordan_: as far as I know, the UT download arleady has a built binary, all you have to do is run it
[01:10] <Docfxit> nit-wit, The thumb is 16gb.  It has 4gb persistant partition.
[01:10] <jordan_> buttking,  k, lemme check
[01:10] <IShadowed> hi
[01:11] <buttking> did it come as a package, like a rar that you had to extract?
[01:11] <Chilaquiles> lillecarl:  1.5G in SWAP
[01:11] <jordan_> buttking, dumb question here, where or what is the binary
[01:11] <lillecarl> you should have the double of what your ram is, well whatever
[01:11] <IShadowed> the network list isn't appearing in the above toolbar as another user is signed in too on this computer, and they have it. How can I run it on mine, now? Because having to switch back and forth just to reset a connection is really annoying
[01:12] <lillecarl> run the command free -m and tell me what it said in a private
[01:12] <buttking> the binary will have a filename like ioUrbanTerror.i386 or ioUrbanTerror.x86_64
[01:12] <Docfxit> lillecarl, It said Server is already active for display 0
[01:12] <teddyb> jrib, i think this is it http://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xD6B6DB186A68F637 ? what extension do i save it as?
[01:12] <olimones> I am usuing ubuntu server. I want to install Asterisk GUI on it. Does anyone know how to solve an interfece cycling problem?
[01:12] <jordan_> buttking,  Could not display "/home/jordan/Downloads/UrbanTerror/ioUrbanTerror.i386".
[01:12] <jordan_> thats what i get when i double click it
[01:12] <jrib> teddyb: no, just read the instructions on the ppa page for adding the key, you are doing too much work
[01:12] <lillecarl> Docfxit, hmm i dont rember the command for closing a x session but.....
[01:13] <Docfxit> lillecarl, I goes on to say
[01:13] <buttking> first, you'll need to change the permissions on the file.  I'd open up a terminal and go to the UT folder
[01:13] <Chilaquiles> lillecarl:  why the heck I can't hybernate my computer because it says there's not enough memory! and I have 1.5G in swap
[01:13] <buttking> and type "chmod +x ioUrbanTerror.i386"
[01:13] <afat> heyyy heellppp geeks!!!i am trying to install my ubuntu 10.10 from my usb in shellf..what is the command that i need to use to it to start installing?
[01:13] <jordan_> buttking,  u mean the q3ut4 folder
[01:13] <afat> helppp
[01:13] <jordan_> thats one of the two folders that came in the dl
[01:13] <Docfxit> lillecarl, "If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.x0-lock and start again.
[01:13] <jrib> !install | afat
[01:14] <lillecarl> Chilaquiles, prolyl because you got alot loaded in memory and swap, and when you hibernate i think everyting in your ram is saved in swap
[01:14] <buttking> where ever ioUrbanTerror.i386 is located
[01:14] <lillecarl> Docfxit, well thats gay, gimme a sec
[01:14] <josheee12> hey guys.  i have an ATI card and i'm on 10.10 (x64).  i'm trying to enable the Extra effects in appearnce, but i can only enable None.  i get the error that "Compositioning is not available" or something of the likes.
[01:14] <lillecarl> you wanted to get into a gui again right or how was it xD?
[01:14] <Docfxit> lillecarl, How can I tell if it's running?
[01:14] <Chilaquiles> lillecarl: so how can I hybernate then?
[01:14] <zruty> Can I check/repair NTFS filesystems in linux?
[01:14] <DrManhattan> josheee12, gotta install yourself some proprietary ATI drivers
[01:14] <lillecarl> Chilaquiles, you could try to increase your swap using gparted
[01:15] <lillecarl> sudo gparted
[01:15] <Chilaquiles> lillecarl: but I thought you guys say that 1.5 is fine
[01:15] <josheee12> DrManhattan: they are indeed installed.  only happening after they are, no less
[01:15] <lillecarl> well i recommend 50% more then your ram is :P
[01:15] <DrManhattan> strange
[01:15] <jordan_> buttking,  k i cd'ed to the urbanterror folder
[01:15] <jordan_> buttking,  then what
[01:15] <mickster04> !who | lillecarl
[01:15] <Chilaquiles> lillecarl: are you sure that's gonna solve the problem?
[01:15] <buttking> k, type "chmod +x ioUrbanTerror.i386"
[01:16] <jordan_> k
[01:16] <buttking> then, type "./ioUrbanTerror.i386"
[01:16] <jordan_> did
[01:16] <buttking> and it should run
[01:16] <jordan_> k, one sec
[01:16] <josheee12> DrManhattan: I NEED MAH COMPIZ CUBE!
[01:16] <lillecarl> sry ubottu
[01:16] <lillecarl> oh
[01:16] <lillecarl> its a bot xD
[01:17] <lillecarl> Chilaquiles, its worth a try atleast or are you low on disk space?
[01:17] <mickster04> josheee12: have you restarted since installing them, and have you looked at the options available in the ati config?
[01:17] <lillecarl> Chilaquiles, try this to
[01:17] <teddyb> jrib so like sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jd-team/jdownloader ? if thats right im gonna have to do it at home, college proxy seems to be blocking it
[01:17] <Chilaquiles> it seems like ubuntu is not very good handling hibernation or suspention very well yert
[01:17] <jordan_> k, it ran
[01:17] <jordan_> cool thnx
[01:17] <josheee12> restarted at least 10 times total.  and i coldn't find anything related.
[01:17] <buttking> no problem
[01:17] <jordan_> next time though, how can i run it outside of the terminal
[01:18] <lillecarl> Chilaquiles, run "top" in a commandline and see wich apps take most memory
[01:18] <jrib> teddyb: sure, that will add a ppa and add the key.  But if you already have the ppa added to your sources.list, you only need to add the key
[01:18] <lillecarl> then "killall APPNAME"
[01:18] <Chilaquiles> Xorg
[01:18] <buttking> I'm not positive, that's just how I always ran it
[01:18] <teddyb> oh cool, thanks jrib
[01:18] <jordan_> oh via the terminal
[01:18] <jordan_> from the looks of it, no one plays it, the servers were empty
[01:19] <buttking> I generally keep a terminal open, so it was never a problem to type "cd ~/UrbanTerror && ./ioUrbanTerror.i386"
[01:19] <jordan_> either that or i didnt sync up well with the servers
[01:19] <Chilaquiles> lillecarl: but as I said before, sometimes Im not running many programs (like 2) and it says that I don't have enough memory!!
[01:19] <mickster04> josheee12: try running "monitors" in admin or preferences (whichever it is) and if there is a special ati tool it will say...
[01:19] <lillecarl> Chilaquiles, then you got stuff that should be in the swap in the memory
[01:20] <jordan_> buttking,  u have any thoughts on a good looking sys mon'ing widget
[01:20] <Chilaquiles> lillecarl: ok so how you clear that?
[01:20] <jordan_> like i wanna mon north bridge temps
[01:20] <jordan_> cpu usage
[01:20] <buttking> check out gkrellm
[01:20] <lillecarl> Chilaquiles, please talk in a private, easier
[01:20] <jordan_> all on a clean widget
[01:21] <jordan_> is that in software center or synaptic
[01:21] <mickster04> !pm
[01:21] <buttking> yeah, it should be
[01:21] <bastidraZor> jordan_: conky does well with some tweaking.. cairo-dock can put some widgets up too
[01:21] <Docfxit> lillecarl, Why do I need to run startx.  I booted up to my desktop.  Can't I just continue the updates that I started before?
[01:21] <alisalaah> i cant get my 2 usb to dvi adapters working in Ubuntu is there anyone who could help?
[01:21] <josheee12> DrManhattan: when i try to open monitors, it says RANDR extension not available
[01:22] <jordan_> also , is there a way to verify my usb 3.0 ports are working correctly to the usb 3 speeds
[01:22] <jordan_> my thumb drive comes up but i was curious if its being picked up at usb 3 or 3 speeds
[01:23] <olimones> So, no one knows about asterisk-GUI?
[01:23] <kamalmv>  i have a wireless modem with a pc  os-ubuntu.....how can i connect a lan through wireless to a laptop with windows 7??????
[01:23] <jordan_> Oli``, nope
[01:23] <mickster04> !asterisk
[01:23] <mickster04> olimones: clearly not
[01:23] <tyler_d> trying to reset cheese webcam settings ---> problem is that its stuck in black and white mode
[01:23] <josheee12> DrManhattan: apparently it's related to my usage of Xinerama.  any ideas of an alternative?  i guess i could save up for an Eyefinity-compatible card
[01:23] <buttking> the easiest way to check would probably just be to transfer a file to a thumb drive and watch the speed
[01:23] <olimones> why clearly not? it runs on Ubuntu?
[01:23] <jordan_> anybody here have usb 3.0 running correctly
[01:24] <mickster04> tyler_d: how did you put it into black and white mode?
[01:24] <mickster04> olimones: your question wasn't that, it was whether anyone knew anything about it, seeing as they haven't responded to your question,its fair to say, that atm, no-one here knows how to solve your problem?
[01:25] <lillecarl> Docfxit, never mind i misunderstood you :/
[01:25] <mickster04> jordan_: get a file on it of a certain size, then copy off to it using your 3.0 ports and your 2.0 ports and see if there is any difference in speed
[01:25] <Chilaquiles> damn
[01:25] <mickster04> jordan_: make it a big file
[01:25] <Chilaquiles> ubuntu really sucks
[01:25] <buttking> nah
[01:26] <buttking> it's pretty rad
[01:26] <Docfxit> lillecarl, np
[01:26] <lillecarl> :)
[01:26] <Chilaquiles> it frozes my computer, and I didn't have that problem
[01:26] <jordan_> Mickster, good point
[01:26] <syrinx> chilaquiles be trollin
[01:26] <Docfxit> lillecarl,  Should I continue trying to run the update?
[01:26] <mickster04> jordan_: yeah, also do you need special 3.0 compatible usb thumb drives for the extra speed? i dunno but 3.0 is backward compatible so wouldn't complain
[01:27] <Skeeter-> psusi: u still there?
[01:27] <lillecarl> Docfxit, did you use the update manager and you shut the pc down or what?
[01:27] <Chilaquiles> why do you say im trolling?
[01:27] <Docfxit> lillecarl, Yes
[01:27] <Chilaquiles> syrinx: because I say that ubuntu sux?
[01:28] <jordan_> yeh i got a 32gb thumbdrive
[01:28] <Docfxit> lillecarl, I was using the Update Manager, It froze and then I did a hard shutdown.
[01:28] <mickster04> jordan_: according to some research i did (my friend) you can get specific usb3 thumb drives
[01:28] <jordan_> and it does go backwards compat. which is what made me wonder which spd it was running at on my ubuntu
[01:28] <Skeeter-> Could anyone help me to install grub on a LVM, i just installed ubuntu. During the installation, it was unable to install grub propely. Now i need to install it myself and i cant figure out how to make it happen
[01:29] <lillecarl> Docfxit, hmm gimme a sec ill google a bit :)
[01:29] <jordan_> mickster04, , what do u mean by specific
[01:29] <mickster04> jordan_: as in there are usb thuimb drives that can only go as fast as 2.0 anyway so the 3.0 port won't help much
[01:29] <jordan_> mickster04,  like usb 3 only or usb 3,2,1 friendly
[01:29] <Docfxit> lillecarl, Thank you for helping.
[01:29] <jordan_> ah, yeah the one i got is an ADATA N005
[01:29] <bc81> tyler_d: you could try gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/cheese
[01:30] <jordan_> usb 3.0 thumb drive
[01:30] <lillecarl> Docfxit, try apt-get install --fix-broken
[01:30] <jordan_> plus i have an external 3.0 case
[01:30] <lillecarl> sudo *
[01:30] <lillecarl> then update
[01:30] <mickster04> jordan_: like the thumb drive will have to be made with the 3.0 spec, else your port can't use the faster speeds and will go at 2.0 speeds
[01:30] <JeffCBR> I'm bored... what should I play with?
[01:31] <jordan_> yeh, it is, it ran at 3.0 spds on xp and win7
[01:31] <Docfxit> lillecarl, It ran.  everything was zero.  Looks like it's ok.
[01:32] <jordan_> mickster04,  heres another dumb question , in windows i normally go to "my computer" to view my drives like usb drives, where do i go in ubuntu
[01:32] <tyler_d> bc81: no joy.... still like the saturation is all borked... would really like to know where the config file is for cheese so I could just blow it away
[01:33] <jordan_> found it
[01:33] <bc81> tyler_d: you ran that command when cheese was closed? that's where all the config info is located as far as i can tell
[01:33] <lillecarl> Docfxit, then update manager again ;)
[01:33] <jordan_> i put the usb drive in the wrong pc, i popped it in my server by accident then i loked over and put it in my htpc
[01:33] <jigynet> how do i make a .exe executable in xubuntu?
[01:33] <xangua> !wine | jigynet
[01:34] <jordan_> jigynet,  wine maybe, im shootin in the dark tho
[01:34] <tyler_d> bc81: yup yup... I found .gconf/apps/cheese/%gconf.xml as well... but no reference to contrast or such
[01:34] <bc81> jigynet: you can chmod +x <file>
[01:34] <jigynet> i've got wine, i told it to use it...
[01:34] <jordan_> jigynet,  im having a lil trouble getting the wine installed though so dont take my word for it
[01:34] <jigynet> ohh
[01:35] <bc81> tyler_d: look in gconf-editor >> /apps/cheese  the config info is there
[01:35] <GothSpark> ok  any one knows how fix the no screen problem on ubuntu  I installed the Nvidia drivers for an 310M from ubuntu but when I restart it do not find my screen so I am stuck on the consol I tryed startx but no result ... noscreen found  unable to connect to Xserver what I should do I have two card on it... an hd intel and an 310M that I want to use
[01:35] <Docfxit> lillecarl, How can I uncheck all updates so I can select only a few at a time.
[01:36] <jordan_> 56 Mb a seconds over usb is good enough for usb 3 right?
[01:36] <GothSpark> edit I am using a laptop from Asus
[01:36] <Docfxit> lillecarl, There are 290 updates selected.
[01:36] <bc81> Docfxit: if you use synaptic you will have more control over this
[01:36] <plwert> what would you recommend as a simple console application that can load space/comma separated files, display them as columns and sort the rows by some column?
[01:36] <Docfxit> bc81, How do I run synaptic?
[01:37] <bc81> Docfxit: system >> administration >> synaptic package manager
[01:38] <bc81> Docfxit: click reload, then you can sort all marked pakages, & choose the ones you want (ctrl/shift+click)
[01:38] <jordan_> sweet my usb 3 drive is running at 3.0 speeds
[01:38] <jordan_> varified it by sending a 1 Gb folder
[01:38] <jigynet> cd isnt changeing directories?
[01:39] <Docfxit> bc81, I received an error "Failed to run /usr/sbin/synaptic as user root.  Unable to copy the user's Xauthorization file"
[01:39] <jordan_> where would i go to run conky
[01:39] <jordan_> i installed it via the software center
[01:39] <lillecarl> Docfxit, idk, usually i just have a few :P
[01:40] <GothSpark> jordan you want to try it , usualy you have to type conky in the terminal
[01:40] <bc81> Docfxit: your /tmp folder might be full http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=821443
[01:40] <jordan_> GothSpark,  k, backkkkkkkkkkkkkk to the terminal, lol
[01:40] <bc81> jordan_: alt+f2 conky &
[01:41] <jordan_> k it just popped up
[01:41] <jordan_> cant i manipulate it like change the opacity and what not
[01:41] <TheCheck> lol
[01:41] <bc81> jordan_: yes, edit ~/.conkyrc
[01:42] <bc81> !info conky
[01:42] <antihc3> anyone know if there is a work around for the dell , Intel video problem ,  Screen is black until external monitor is plugged in
[01:42] <jordan_> Error: no "edit" mailcap rules found for type "application/octet-stream"
[01:43] <jordan_> that was the error i got running the "edit ~/.conkyrc" cmd
[01:43] <TheCheck> anyone know if a good ip VPN proxy for ubuntu that i can google that is free?
[01:43] <bc81> jordan_: gedit ~/.conkyrc
[01:44] <coolwind> test
[01:44] <gaelfx> coolwind: hear ya
[01:44] <jordan_> bc81, ah i guess i need to enter text cmds to it as opposed to a gui
[01:44] <gaelfx> What can I do for choppy playback in smplayer using vdpau?
[01:44] <jordan_> damn microsoft for making me  a lazy pc user
[01:44] <robot682> I am getting the following error  "error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6:"  when trying to install Qlogic QLA4010C ISCSI drivers
[01:45] <robot682> I would really appreciate some help
[01:45] <rmd_> ok.. so, can I get a little help writing this ubuntu image to a usb drive? I've tried dd. I've tried the instructions on the wiki.. and I keep running into problems. Last time it finally booted from the usb, but the screen was blank.
[01:45] <bc81> jordan_: there are some ready made configs all over the net..the ubuntu forums has a huge thread dedicated to them
[01:45] <jordan_> cool, will check them out
[01:45] <jordan_> maybe even modify it myself
[01:45] <jordan_> we'll see,lol
[01:46] <coolwind> any one know how to disabled "who joined or left the room" message?
[01:46] <TheCheck> i dont know cool
[01:46] <TheCheck> no clue
[01:46] <bc81> jordan_: yea, it's not so bad.  the syntax is super easy to learn
[01:46] <jigynet> lol why is terminal's cd command case sensitive?
[01:46] <coolwind> Thanks TheCheck
[01:46] <simcop2387> is ther a guide for switching to root on raid (dmraid) after the fact?
[01:46] <gaelfx> is there any ppa for smplayer that actually supports maverick?
[01:46] <bc81> jordan_: and the best part is, when you make a small change to the config file...ctrl+s and it will show you the changes right away
[01:47] <jordan_> yeh, that i like
[01:47] <robot682> I am getting the following error  "error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6:"  when trying to install Qlogic QLA4010C ISCSI drivers  and would really like some help.  It's for a school project.
[01:47] <bc81> jigynet: as far as i know, all linux terminal commands are lowercase
[01:47] <jordan_> i dont like that apply and wait crap M$ got me used to
[01:47] <auro1> hi
[01:47] <bc81> or case-sensitive
[01:47] <auro1> i just chmod'd alot of stuff 0777 by mistake
[01:47] <auro1> is this bad?
[01:47] <auro1> i was trying to chmod the current folder 0777
[01:48] <auro1> but instead i was actually running it against /
[01:48] <auro1> >.<
[01:48] <auro1> so... is that bad?
[01:48] <gaelfx> !enter > auro1
[01:48] <immy> im using grsync gui to configure backups - it has an option to run a command before backup begins and halt if the command fails. Since I will schedule this to run automatically i want to make sure the removal hdd is connected - is there a command i can use to make sure /media/backup exists?
[01:48] <jigynet> yea, but if the file has caps and directories..so u gotta type it exactly, very annoying
[01:48] <JeffCBR> !enter > JeffCBR
[01:49] <jigynet> and chmodding can be bad.. depnding on te commnd or actions given
[01:49] <itaylor57> jigynet: you can use tab completion for that
[01:49] <jason_> guys, i downloaded icons for libreoffice. but i don't want to change global icon theme, i only want to replace current libreoffice icons with new ones. which folder do i go to?
[01:49] <Madpilot> jigynet, you know about tab-complete to help with file/directory name completion, right?
[01:49] <jigynet> oh yea forgot
[01:49] <JeffCBR> auro1: You did this as root?
[01:49] <auro1> JeffCBR: yep... <.<
[01:49] <JeffCBR> How old is your installation?
[01:49] <auro1> JeffCBR: sudo chmod 777 / -v -R
[01:49] <auro1> i just finished setting it up
[01:50] <auro1> <.<
[01:50] <auro1> (shit. sorry. did the enter-thing again)
[01:50] <Madpilot> jigynet, /long/complex/~directory/SillyCamelCaseFileName.complex could be as simple as four characters and four TAB key presses :)
[01:50] <robot682> I am getting the following error  "error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6:" when I try to run a .bin installer.  Can anyone please advise me as to how to fix this?
[01:50] <jigynet> xD
[01:50] <JeffCBR> Well, I don't know of a way to reset your files to their proper permissions... I'd suggest starting over.
[01:50] <auro1> fuk.
[01:50] <Madpilot> auro1, if it's a brand-new install, nuke it and start over. Simplest "fix".
[01:50] <auro1> its not really "brand new"
[01:50] <JeffCBR> I'm no expert, though. There may be a way.
[01:50] <auro1> but pretty new
[01:51] <auro1> like a month or something
[01:51] <jigynet> issue the commands again or their other switchs..
[01:51] <itaylor57> robot682: what bin file were you running
[01:51] <JeffCBR> But, yeah, if your install is pretty new, that's probably your best bet.
[01:51] <auro1> Is it dangerous if I ignore it?
[01:51] <Madpilot> auro1, seriously, mind the Enter key. This channel is too busy to have one sentence take up six lines.
[01:51] <bc81> jason usually /usr/share/icons is a good place to start (can't give you the exact dir, as i don't have it installed)
[01:51] <auro1> Madpilot: Real sorry. Thanks for pointing it out.
[01:51] <bc81> jason_: see above
[01:51] <jordan_> anybody setup Wine successfully
[01:52] <jigynet> auro i think u made those files unrestrcited or removed root status?
[01:52] <JeffCBR> auro1: There are files that are read-only to root for a reason.
[01:52] <jason_> does anybody know the folder where libreoffice icons are located?
[01:52] <Madpilot> auro1, depending on what exactly you chmodded to 777 in /, stuff could well randomly stop working...
[01:52] <jason_> bc81, above?
[01:52] <jigynet> yea
[01:52] <shmup> got a question on swap. i know it's recommended in ubuntu's wiki to create swap = to the amount of physicam memory.
[01:52] <shmup> if i have 8GB, is this really practical?
[01:52] <auro1> Madpilot: JeffCBR: i think it only got somewhee in /var/
[01:52] <bc81> jason_: "usually /usr/share/icons is a good place to start (can't give you the exact dir, as i don't have it installed)"
[01:53] <jigynet> yes shmup
[01:53] <jason_> bc81, ah. thk u -)
[01:53] <gaelfx> if I install the latest smplayer by hand, will I have to uninstall it if I want to add a ppa later when it's available?
[01:53] <shmup> jigynet: can you explain why? not asking for paragraphs of reasons just..
[01:53] <auro1> i killed it as soon as i realised something was wrong. I guess i should really take a backup and nuke it tomorrow...
[01:53] <shmup> jigynet: i don't really understand. if i have 4GB of physical memory and 4GB of swap, and that's enough. i'd assume if i have 8GB of memory, 4GB of swap would be enough, too.
[01:53] <rmd_> ok.. so, can I get a little help writing this ubuntu image to a usb drive? I've tried dd. I've tried the instructions on the wiki.. and I keep running into problems. Last time it finally booted from the usb, but the screen was blank.
[01:53] <jigynet> shmup, if u mutli task u could easily use all 8gb of physical raam
[01:54] <Madpilot> auro1, backups are a good idea regardless. Which reminds me, I should burn some new backup DVDs. Months of unbacked-up photos and graphics...
[01:54] <shmup> jigynet: why not make 20GB of swap then? i mean..
[01:54] <JeffCBR> shmup: If you haev 8GB of memory, what are you using a swap for?
[01:54] <auro1> Madpilot: Damn thats not good :D
[01:54] <shmup> JeffCBR: i didn't think i'd even need to, that's kind of why i'm here..
[01:54] <jigynet> plus swap can be used when ram can not be addressed
[01:54] <shmup> JeffCBR: i was just reading a dual boot guide, to make sure i did it right. never dual booted win/ubuntu.
[01:54] <itaylor57> shmup: it would only matter if you hibernate
[01:55] <xangua> there is already a smplayer ppa i believe gaelfx
[01:55] <Droas> Halp... I need an edit undo for rm /media/partitionName/* ._.
[01:55] <bc81> 2 GiB of swap should be fine for most uses
[01:55] <gaelfx> xangua: not for maverick, unless you found one that I didn't
[01:55] <jigynet> shmup, right, if u have the hd space, and plan to be cpu intense, media/games.. doubling the swap can gain speed etc
[01:55] <jordan_> in my  Applications > system tools i have a q4wine.......when i run it i have to configure it (just installed it a minute ago) anybody know how to set it up?????????
[01:56] <jigynet> so far nothing has been negative for extreamly large swaps
[01:56] <gaelfx> xangua: rvm only supports lucid or earlier, same with nvidia vdpau team
[01:56] <jigynet> unless its a laptop
[01:56] <shmup> jigynet: ah all right. well, i don't plan on gaming much at all. 8GB is actually an overkill, but it was $70 so i thought why not.
[01:56] <shmup> jigynet: it is a laptop
[01:56] <JeffCBR> It's crazy overkill...
[01:56] <shmup> jigynet: this is mainly for coding
[01:56] <JeffCBR> IMO.
[01:56] <shmup> yeah, but nothing wrong with it right?
[01:56] <jigynet> ah
[01:57] <JeffCBR> Well, I've never heard of someone having too much ram. ;)
[01:57] <JeffCBR> I have 512 MB. :D
[01:57] <joejc18> if i put a symlink to my Music folder in ubunty one folder will it share my music folder?
[01:57] <shmup> rofl yeah, i thought you were gonna introduce me to some crazy theory
[01:57] <shmup> that i've never heard of
[01:57] <jigynet> keep the swap 4gb-8gb, using the hd excessivly on a laptop can heat things up alot
[01:57] <shmup> i'm gonna set up 2GB of swap. if i'm using over 10GB of memory on this, that is just insane and..
[01:57] <shmup> k 4GB then ;p
[01:57] <mickster04> what if you have 16GB RAM?
[01:57] <shmup> i'm gonna swap this hdd out anyways when intel comes out with the new ssd's this year!
[01:58] <jordan_> i got 128GB ram
[01:58] <shmup> rofl
[01:58] <jordan_> lol :D
[01:58] <joejc18> imo swap is useless if you have good ram
[01:58] <jigynet> how did you use 10 gigs?
[01:58] <jordan_> naw just 4 gb
[01:58] <mickster04> jordan_: you...really can't :O
[01:58] <JeffCBR> shmup: Personally, I'd try things without a swap. Watson doesn't have a swap. :D
[01:58] <^Mike> Hi, I'm getting the following error when attempting to apt-get upgrade. "E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?" How can I fix this?
[01:58] <gaelfx> shmup: it sounds like you have a lot of money. do you need an assistant?
[01:58] <mickster04> ^Mike: sudo that command
[01:58] <JeffCBR> Ram is cheap.
[01:58] <auro1> im using a whopping 4 kb of swap space with 4gb ram
[01:58] <jigynet> swap is always useful
[01:58] <mickster04> ^Mike: sudo apt-get update
[01:58] <jordan_> in my  Applications > system tools i have a q4wine.......when i run it i have to configure it (just installed it a minute ago) anybody know how to set it up?????????
[01:59] <JeffCBR> I remember when ram cost $1 per megabyte.
[01:59] <jordan_> JeffCBR, ouch 4 gb then would be $4000 +
[01:59] <JeffCBR> So, your ram should have cost you around 4 grand.
[01:59] <Madpilot> JeffCBR, likewise. Also, kids should get off our respective lawns, right?
[01:59] <jigynet> lol i seen ddr @ $180 for 1 gig...
[01:59] <JeffCBR> Madpilot: Right?!
[02:00] <JeffCBR> Damn kids and their cheap ram.
[02:00] <shmup> a friend tells me if i plan on hibernating just go with 8GB
[02:00] <JeffCBR> I told a kid to get off my lawn and he threw a 2 gig dimm at me.
[02:00] <shmup> but i've never been into hibernating laptops
[02:00] <gaelfx> shmup: pretty sure that if you hibernate, you still need swap
[02:00] <Nitrohax> jeff, but cheap ram and then you put those cheap sticky heat sinks on them makes them look cool
[02:00] <KB1JWQ> !ot
[02:00] <jordan_> anybody good with setting up q4wine
[02:00] <jigynet> when it turns off w2hen u walk away thats sleep/hibernate
[02:01] <KB1JWQ> !anybody | jordan_
[02:01] <gaelfx> shmup: the whole point is that when you hibernate, it powers down things like RAM
[02:01] <JeffCBR> Nitrohax: My two machines are about 5 years and 10 years behind the hardware curve respectively.
[02:01] <eoss> Hello, I just switched from win7 to ubuntu on my main computer, I am getting choppy play back on flash videos ...not in fullscreen but when its NOT in fullscreen
[02:01] <jordan_> lol, that seemed rather useless
[02:01] <eoss> its freezing the rest of my computer and very choppy
[02:01] <jordan_> i aske dmy question pretty clearly i thought
[02:01] <GothSpark> ook any one knows about the black screen issue after installing Nvidia drivers on laptops I have that issue but have seen no answer any where
[02:01] <syrinx> eoss: installed all the codecs?
[02:01] <Nitrohax> JeffCBR, I just upgraded from a 6 year old computer. still not seeing much difference in the speed and stuff
[02:01] <jigynet> when a pc hibernates it uses ram and swap and hd
[02:01] <jigynet> mostly ram
[02:01] <shmup> gaelfx: thats what i thought i said, or meant to
[02:02] <shmup> gaelfx: if you hibernate you DO need swap
[02:02] <shmup> and he recommended 8GB of it
[02:02] <shmup> for my setup
[02:02] <Nitrohax> openoffice site is down that's really upsetting
[02:02] <gaelfx> jordan_ the point is that you need to tell us what you're actually having troubles with when installing wine, not just asking for "anyone" who can setup wine
[02:02] <Madpilot> ubottu, tell shmup about enter
[02:02] <mjn> GothSpark, you mean a black border around the screen?
[02:02] <hack-1> anyone know if I can load firefox through wine to watch my netflix account? they say I need a windows system or mac
[02:02] <gaelfx> Nitrohax: maybe for oracle, but not for me
[02:02] <jigynet> yea if u have 8gb of software open you'll need that to store that data
[02:02] <JeffCBR> Nitrohax: Yeah... if I played more video games, I'd probably be pressed to upgrade. I saw a video card at the shop the other day that I think could house a small family.
[02:02] <jordan_> well i am having trouble right off the start from the first config pg
[02:03] <eoss> syrinx, i dont think so how i install all of them?
[02:03] <mjn> hack-1, you need to install a virtual machine
[02:03] <Nitrohax> JeffCBR, LOL. I found a 1gig 9400 gt card for $40. works for me
[02:03] <auro1> Can anyone recommend a good backup program for ubuntu that can do "incremental" and full backups ?
[02:03] <hack-1> ok thank you
[02:03] <jigynet> hack-1, they waNT u in windows..
[02:03] <jordan_> if noone was familiar i didnt want to waste anybodys time with where i was stuck at if it wouldnt make any sense to them
[02:03] <gaelfx> jordan_ what specific trouble are you having with the config page?
[02:03] <JeffCBR> Nitrohax: If I told you the cards in my machines, you'd laugh.
[02:03] <hack-1> yes windows or mac
[02:03] <Nitrohax> gaelfx, i tried goign to the site the last couple days. no connections for it
[02:03] <Madpilot> ubottu, tell auro1 about backup
[02:04] <jordan_> ummm, it ask for stuff that i dont know about, like a wine libs
[02:04] <hack-1> I am a noob but love learning
[02:04] <jigynet> virtual machine is wine?
[02:04] <jordan_> i am new to linux as of 2-3 days ago so im not familiar with a lot fo the terminalogy
[02:04] <Nitrohax> JeffCBR, if you aren't using high end graphics then you don't really need them. I got them just to take the load off the MoBi
[02:04] <Nitrohax> MoBo even
[02:04] <gaelfx> Nitrohax: well, I just loaded it and I'm in China. Are you living in a horribly oppressive country at the moment?
[02:04] <bc81> jigynet: they are 2 different things
[02:04] <Nitrohax> gaelfx, no, where did you d/l it from
[02:05] <mjn> jigynet, wine is a windows emulator...virtual machine runs the entire os
[02:05] <bc81> !info virtualbox
[02:05] <auro1> i don't really want system backup. I want to be able to do backups of specific folders at specified intervals. For example, do incremental backup every day and full backup every week. Then put the backups into my dropbox folder for an example
[02:05] <Nitrohax> gaelfx, haven't been riots in detroit for a couple decades but that can all change son
[02:05] <JeffCBR> I access this machine exclusively through ssh. The video card (GeForce MX4000 64MB) is in there just so it'll boot.
[02:05] <jigynet> nitro have u tried isitdownforme .com?
[02:05] <jigynet> isitdownorjustme
[02:05] <mjn> virtual is still avail on the oracle site
[02:05] <hack-1> can I install firefox in wine?
[02:05] <Nitrohax> jigynet, not yet. oen sec
[02:05] <GothSpark> mjn I mean that I end up to the consol screen  o gui are loaded cause X can't  detect a screen to display
[02:05] <Nitrohax> JeffCBR, if it works it works
[02:06] <gaelfx> Nitrohax: I didn't try downloading it, sorry. I thought you meant the website
[02:06] <mjn> GothSpark, unfortunately, i don't think i can help you with that
[02:06] <bc81> hack-1: iff you already have wine installed, just download the firefox.exe installer and run it
[02:06] <JeffCBR> I'd put a stick of gum in there, if it would boot.
[02:06] <hack-1> thank you @bc81
[02:06] <Nitrohax> gaelfx, I can get to the oracle site, but //openoffice.org site doesn't seem to want to load.
[02:07] <mickster04> hack-1: yes but why?
[02:07] <jigynet> that will by pass netflix requireing windows?
[02:07] <punkmexic> is there a monitor app for ubuntu that allows me to set my monitor to 1024 resolution (without seeing black stuff) 16:10
[02:07] <bc81> hack-1: but you should probably just use virtualbox for the netflix (no guarantee ff in wine will work)
[02:07] <mkquist> !wine
[02:07] <jordan_> k, the first start up window when i click q4wine ask for 4 things, 3 of which are already filled in, the fourth is a wine libs : which i dont know what they want me to put there
[02:07] <GothSpark> mjn I think it is the drivers for mobile card but ... i'm not sure a friend of mine got the same exact problem with an update on mint
[02:07] <hack-1> I'm gonna try it , then the VBox if it does'nt work
[02:08]  * Capt_Blackwood is away: I'm happily doing something. So if you could please sod off.
[02:08] <shmup> gimme your opinion on root now, please. i'm thinking 10-15GB.
[02:08] <gaelfx> Nitrohax: ok, I can download it. did you try different mirrors?
[02:08] <mjn> hack-1, ff in wine, still won't let you view netflix...
[02:08] <gaelfx> !away > Capt_Blackwood
[02:08] <Nitrohax> gaelfx, it won't even let me get into the site to download it. i'm looking for alternate ways
[02:08] <mjn> still picks up a non windows/mac operating system..
[02:08] <punkmexic> is there a monitor app for ubuntu that allows me to set my monitor to 1024 resolution (without seeing black stuff) 16:10 i can only do that with 1200 resolution but i cant with 800 or 1024
[02:08] <JeffCBR> If anyone is envious of my graphics processing capability, my card is available on eBay for $10. :D
[02:08] <jordan_> gaelfx, k, the first start up window when i click q4wine ask for 4 things, 3 of which are already filled in, the fourth is a wine libs : which i dont know what they want me to put there
[02:08] <gaelfx> Nitrohax: wow, maybe DF took over your ISP?
[02:09] <Nitrohax> this is what I get Access control configuration prevents your request from being allowed at this time. Please contact your service provider if you feel this is incorrect.
[02:09] <Jayro> Hi,  how would I change the color of  my panels (top and bottom of the screen) without changing anything else?
[02:09] <bc81> shmup: how much total HDD space do you have
[02:09] <mickster04> hack-1: mjn why doesn't netflix work in ubuntu???
[02:09] <gaelfx> jordan_ how did you install wine?
[02:09] <jigynet> lol, i've had issues with openoffice.org in the past as well..dunno waht fixed it..was having ddos and dns hijacks at the time..i reset my router and cleared cache
[02:09] <Nitrohax> gaelfx, I know comcast is the anti christ but i don't think they were getting into the software side of things yet
[02:09] <jordan_> gaelfx, via the software center
[02:09] <aeon-ltd> Jayro: right click has some options
[02:09] <Jayro> mickster: netflix need microsofts silver light to run
[02:09] <Jayro> thanks
[02:10] <mjn> openoffice is accessible to me..
[02:10] <gaelfx> jordan_ and what are you trying to do with it?
[02:10] <mickster04> Jayro: thanks, how far is moonlight coming?
[02:10] <Nitrohax> moonlight doesn't work with netflix.
[02:10] <mickster04> Nitrohax: also thanks
[02:10] <hack-1> I don't know it just sends me to a page telling me my OS is not supported and gives a list of OS's @mixter84
[02:10] <jigynet> comcast is one of many isp's who are 80% of their network is owned by a security corp
[02:10] <jordan_> originally a while ago i was trying to run an exe from the urbanterror game which i alraedy got help with running a different way a while ago
[02:10] <Jayro> mickster: moonlight does not have the DRM stack needed for netflix
[02:10] <jordan_> but i already installed the wine
[02:10] <Nitrohax> it's some stupid license thing between the movie and tv people. they are afraid they will copy and stuff. The hated hollywood people
[02:10] <mjn> mickster04, can't say that i know, just know that the only way i've gotten it to work is through VM
[02:11] <mickster04> !tab | hack-1
[02:11] <jordan_> i went to go run it so i can see how it works but havent got it to start yet
[02:11] <jigynet> and when comcast is asked about this they deny it
[02:11] <mickster04> Jayro: see the !tab message
[02:11] <Jayro> !tab
[02:11] <Jayro> ?
[02:11] <mickster04> !tab > Jayro
[02:11] <shmup> bc81: sorry, 320. 60GB for windows. 40GB for /home, 8GB swap, thinking 15-20GB for /root.
[02:11] <mjn> jigynet, course they do...robber barons and pirates
[02:11] <shmup> bc81: the rest will be for storage, for both OS's
[02:11] <Jayro> mickster04, OH NICE.
[02:11] <gaelfx> Nitrohax: http://download.openoffice.org/contribute.html?download=mirrorbrain&files/stable/3.3.0/OOo_3.3.0_Win_x86_install-wJRE_en-US.exe does this work for you?
[02:12] <bc81> shmup: go with 20 if you can spare it..room to grow is always good :)
[02:12] <mickster04> Jayro: very
[02:12] <jigynet> verizon charges $20 more for all their services =c
[02:12] <shmup> bc81: sounds good then. i can definitely spare it. :P
[02:12] <mickster04> mjn: that's not cool :(
[02:12] <Jayro> mickster04, thats soooo convinient.  I hate windows
[02:13] <mjn> mickster04, er, seriously...how so, in order to avoid in the future?
[02:13] <gaelfx> Nitrohax: well, that site says they are in "read-only mode" for a few days, whatever that means
[02:13] <gaelfx> Nitrohax: why not use LibreOffice?
[02:13] <Nitrohax> gaelfx, I think it might mean windows is on the way out. I hope. LOL
[02:13] <mickster04> MSHughes: what are you talking about? i was talking about netflix?
[02:13] <gaelfx> Nitrohax: haha, dare to dream
[02:14] <mickster04> mjn: what are you talking about? i was talking about netflix?
[02:14] <jigynet> was thinking about fios, but customer service and costs not staying what they should be, and not being accurate is making me think twwice.
[02:14] <mickster04> MSHughes: sorry wrong nick
[02:14] <Nitrohax> gaelfx, the windows theme should be dare to be stupid
[02:14] <jigynet> yea i hope windows is out too
[02:14] <gaelfx> jordan_ you don't run wine, you install windows programs with it and then run them
[02:14] <mjn> mickster04, oh sorry, i thought you were referring to the comcast opine
[02:14] <gaelfx> Nitrohax: a la Weird Al?
[02:14] <jigynet> lol
[02:14] <jigynet> gael..
[02:15] <Nitrohax> gaelfx, that's right
[02:15] <gaelfx> nice
[02:15] <jigynet> opine?
[02:15]  * gaelfx approves
[02:15] <jordan_> gaelfx, it seems more a headache then a fix for now, and being i dont NEED it at the moment i will revoke my question about it
[02:16] <Nitrohax> I think I have a solution.. one sec
[02:16] <Jayro> Does anyone know how i can install themes i get from here? http://art.gnome.org/themes/metacity?page=2
[02:16] <mjn> jigynet, opine: to hold or express an opinion
[02:16] <gaelfx> jordan_ in my experience, it's been pretty decent for running windows programs, have you tried installing any with it?
[02:16] <mickster04> Jayro: system > pref >appearances
[02:16] <azmodeus> quasi piango! alla fine ci sono riuscito! ç_ç buonasera a tutti
[02:17] <mickster04> !en
[02:17] <gaelfx> azmodeus: french?
[02:17] <jordan_> gaelfx,  no initially i was going to run the urbanterror game via wine but another person helped me get urbanterror running via the terminal
[02:17] <Jayro> mickster04, yeah, i goto install, but there is no theme files in the extracted folder
[02:17] <azmodeus> ohhh.. I'm sorry! ^^
[02:17] <gaelfx> !fr > azmodeus
[02:17] <jordan_> so that was all i had to work with wine at the moment
[02:17] <azmodeus> I was sure that was the italian channel... :P
[02:17] <mickster04> Jayro: then mayb you are downloading the wrong type?
[02:17] <Jayro> nvm... i just dont exract it..
[02:17] <azmodeus> I see.. forgot -it
[02:17] <gaelfx> oops! apologies
[02:17] <Jayro> ^^
[02:18] <azmodeus> sorry! :P see ya all... bye
[02:18] <mickster04> Jayro:  :p
[02:18] <gaelfx> !it > azmodeus
[02:18] <Nitrohax> i'm going to try ti thru the java installer. LOL
[02:18] <mickster04> gaelfx: ooh a little slow there :p
[02:18] <oldskoolpulsar> whats ubuntu like with software updates to lamp stack compared to say debian
[02:18] <gaelfx> mickster04: actually, at first I thought it was french because of the curly c's :/
[02:18] <oldskoolpulsar> im setting up ubuntu in a lxc container
[02:19] <azmodeus> what the-... thanks ubottu! ^^ see ya
[02:19] <mickster04> gaelfx: ah yes
[02:19] <gaelfx> oldskoolpulsar: well, I would guess that the lamp stack on ubuntu is comparatively a little out of date
[02:19] <oldskoolpulsar> debian is terribly out of date!
[02:19] <oldskoolpulsar> iv noticed
[02:20] <mjn> gaelfx, lamp stack?
[02:20] <oldskoolpulsar> apache php mysql
[02:20] <MindWarper> oldmanst1n:  you can use testing
[02:20] <Nitrohax> nope. oh well i guess he's SOL on the windows openoffice stuff.
[02:20] <mickster04> oldskoolpulsar: i'm sure there are ppa's available or at least sources available for more up-to-date versions
[02:20] <BitEncrypt> how do i set up the terminal as root or superuser
[02:20] <oldskoolpulsar> lol me?
[02:20] <MindWarper> isnt it libre ofice ?
[02:21] <MindWarper> yes
[02:21] <oldskoolpulsar> no
[02:21] <gaelfx> Nitrohax: seriously, hav eyou considered libreoffice?
[02:21] <mickster04> BitEncrypt: you don't, you use sudo infront of the command to run it with sudo privilages e.g. sudo apt-get update
[02:21] <Nitrohax> gaelfx, haven't heard of that one. some thing?
[02:21] <itaylor57> !root | BitEncrypt
[02:21] <mickster04> libre office is buggier than OOo
[02:21] <gaelfx> Nitrohax: oh, it's all the good people from openoffice before oracle
[02:22] <rick_> hello, is the "Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub" of lsusb a pure software driver ?
[02:22] <Nitrohax> gaelfx, oh ok. let me check that one out
[02:22] <oldskoolpulsar> openoffice just eats up all resources as quickly as it possibly can
[02:22] <itaylor57> BitEncrypt: if you have to use sudo -i in terminal
[02:22] <rick_> I mean if it is loaded no matter if a usb device exist or not
[02:22] <jordan_> crap
[02:22] <mickster04> itaylor57: whats the difference between that and sudo su
[02:22] <mickster04> jordan_: ?
[02:22] <jordan_> just jacked up my conky
[02:22] <oldskoolpulsar> ubottu, lol
[02:22] <gaelfx> mickster04: really? on windows even?
[02:22] <oldskoolpulsar> what about the spoon?
[02:23] <alisalaah> Ubuntu 10:10 -- Really need help getting two usb to dvi adapters (displaylink) working, Jaton Video 101USB-D... I've tried one tutorial online and it's driving me crazy... i really need help
[02:23] <oldskoolpulsar> ubottu,
[02:23] <jordan_> i was asking for help earlier to help configure it and was directed to read a site, tried some things now its jacked up
[02:23] <gaelfx> oldskoolpulsar: ubottu is a bot
[02:23] <mjn> BitEncrypt, you can use su to elevate to root for that terminal session, or you can modify your sudoers file if you need to run sudo in script without having to enter password
[02:23] <oldskoolpulsar> lol how i get the bot to tell me about the spoon
[02:23] <mickster04> gaelfx: well it's newer so of course it'll be buggier :p
[02:23] <oldskoolpulsar> lol
[02:23] <mickster04> !bot
[02:23] <oldskoolpulsar> !bot spoon

[02:24] <oldskoolpulsar> yeah it doesnt like spoon
[02:24] <gaelfx> !enter jordan_
[02:24] <mickster04> itaylor57: ok

[02:25] <Nitrohax> offtopic, got to love zombieland. LMAO
[02:25] <bc81> jordan_: pastebin your conkyrc
[02:25] <jordan_> mickster04,  i posted the msg i got if that clarifies anything to you with the problem with conky i have
[02:26] <gsp2009> hello all
[02:26] <mickster04> jordan_: paste bin it nxtr time
[02:26] <jordan_> bc81, i dont even know what or how to use pastebin
[02:26] <mickster04> jordan_: it's not hard :p
[02:26] <bc81> !paste | jordan_
[02:26] <jordan_> seems like a lot of confusing steps, i just wont post anything big
[02:27] <jordan_> either that or save it for a pm
[02:27] <gsp2009> so, once I completely removed compiz... everything started acting up regarding my displays. I am getting ghosting through the desktop onto my browser and apps... anyone see this before. in this particular case, google and I have not been friends.
[02:27] <mickster04> jordan_: no, you just paste it there, click ok, then paste us the web link
[02:27] <hack-1> ok so you know the firefox in wine let me find out that you need silverlight to watch netflix so I installed it but it's not working. gonna try virtual box
[02:27] <mickster04> hack-1: unlucky
[02:28] <Nitrohax> hack-1, you need to keep it in VB. it's how i get it to work
[02:28] <hydrozii> how can i assign my computer a static IP in ubuntu?
[02:28] <hack-1> lol had to try it was the easy way lol
[02:28] <Nitrohax> it's just sad they stupid stuf like that
[02:28] <mickster04> hydrozii: isn't that a routert setting?
[02:28] <itaylor57> mickster04: doing sudo su will not initialize the environment, the -i to sudo does setup the environemnt reading profile and other files
[02:29] <jordan_> mickster04,  did u even get the msg i posted about it a minute ago before the flood incident
[02:29] <mickster04> jordan_: nope
[02:29] <jordan_> sigg
[02:29] <gsp2009> hydrozii: sytem-preferences-network connections
[02:29] <jordan_> sigh
[02:29] <sacarlson> hydrozii: might see this http://www.jonathanmoeller.com/screed/?p=2305
[02:29] <hydrozii> whats that in lxfce?
[02:29] <mickster04> jordan_: as in i got it but i don't 'get' it, I dunno what to do about it
[02:30] <hydrozii> sacarlson that looks really helpful thanks
[02:30] <jordan_> mickster04, ohhhhh thought u meant u didnt see it
[02:30] <mickster04> jordan_: sorry
[02:30] <hack-1> is there a good thread on installing and running VB
[02:30] <jordan_> its cool
[02:30] <mickster04> jordan_: we kinda got it, but it doesn't make any sense to me, i don't really get conky :p
[02:30] <jordan_> oh
[02:30] <mickster04> !vb | hack-1:
[02:30] <jordan_> anybody good with conky?
[02:31] <mickster04> hack-1: probably google has
[02:31] <Nitrohax> oh i think i found out the openoffice.org site problem.
[02:31] <bc81> jordan_: paste your config if you need some help
[02:32] <jordan_> bc81, what config
[02:32] <Jezzz_> I cloned my disk from an 80GB drive to a 1TB drive.  Ubuntu now sees a 77GB ext4 partition and (2) 3.1GB partitions.  how do I expand the 77GB partition to fill the rest of the disk?
[02:32] <Nitrohax> they are fixing site vuln. until then it's f*ed on the windows side of things
[02:32] <jordan_> where do i get it
[02:32] <gsp2009> jordan, I may be able to help
[02:32] <jordan_> cool i wil pm u gsp2009
[02:32] <gsp2009> jordan_ homedir/,conkyrc
[02:32] <eoss> Hello, I just switched from win7 to ubuntu on my main computer, I am getting choppy play back on flash videos ...not in fullscreen but when its NOT in fullscreen
[02:32] <bc81> ...
[02:32] <Nitrohax> eoss, did you install display drivers?
[02:33] <mickster04> Jezzz_: try gparted? it's included in 10.10
[02:33] <gsp2009> jordan_ go ahead.. pm away
[02:33] <BitEncrypt> i ran sudo -i apt-get install lubuntu-desktop.....it said 'unable to fetch some archives' how do i update and/or fix using --fix-missing  ?
[02:33] <Jayro> gnome themes are sick :)
[02:33] <Jezzz_> mickster04, have not tried.  I'm a noob, so I didn't know about it.  Just run from terminal?
[02:33] <gaelfx> gparted is only on the livecd/usb
[02:33] <eoss> Nitrohax, i just installed flash
[02:33] <nillerz> sudo apt-get --fix-missing
[02:34] <mickster04> Jezzz_: system > admin > gparted
[02:34] <Nitrohax> eoss, but have you installed pritary drivers like the video driver?
[02:34] <mickster04> gaelfx: oh ok
[02:34] <mickster04> gaelfx: what can Jezzz_ use instead?
[02:34] <mickster04> Jezzz_: apparently gparted is only on the live disk, you can install it thru the software centre
[02:35] <Jezzz_> mickster04, trying now
[02:35] <gaelfx> mickster04: he can instlal gparted from software center ;)
[02:35] <Nitrohax> yeah gparted doesn't get installed when you install from the cd for some reason. same thing with the wireless driver stuff too. which kinda causes a problem
[02:35] <nillerz> I'm editing a PSX-controller driver to work with my PSX-esque controller
[02:35] <nillerz> I'm not good at c.
[02:35] <Nitrohax> but you shoul dbe able to put the disc back in while running ubuntu and install those from the disc
[02:36] <nillerz> I'm wondering exactly how the original Joystick program has it's drivers set up.
[02:36] <Jezzz_> mickster04, gaelfx, Nitrohax  -- thanks.  This looks like it will do the trick.
[02:36] <Jayro> everytime i unpug my netbook after a charge,  or just to go somewhere i get a popup that says "battery critically low" but its full charge? its not the battery.
[02:36] <Nitrohax> no prob
[02:36] <punkmexic> in ubuntu when i put 1024x768 resolution i see black bars can someone help
[02:36] <eoss> Nitrohax, no I haven't done anything with my drivers
[02:36] <Nitrohax> eoss, that might fix it then.
[02:36] <Jezzz_> except, it looks like it wants me to unmount before I extend
[02:36] <mickster04> Jayro: i think thats a gnome thing :/ it goes away after a second
[02:36] <Jezzz_> I guess I need to boot to live cd first?
[02:37] <Nitrohax> eoss, yo uknow how to have it search for drivers?
[02:37] <mickster04> Jezzz_: yeah live cd if its the main partition
[02:37] <Jayro> mickster04,  it dosnt go away until i tell it too :(
[02:37] <securetux> Hi, i have a problem with ubuntu graphics, i think its Compiz that stop working, I dont see half of the screen and compiz is not working, How can i know whata happening?
[02:37] <eoss> nitrohax no i only installed drivers in windows before
[02:37] <Nitrohax> eoss, yeah i got your pm
[02:38] <mickster04> Jayro: how do you tell it to?
[02:38] <gaelfx> securetux: what do you mean when you say "I don't see half the screen"?
[02:38] <Jayro> mickster04,  press "cancell" so it dosnt go to standby mode
[02:38] <gaelfx> securetux: is your monitor set at the wrong resolution?
[02:39] <Nitrohax> eoss, you need to goto system>admin>hardware drivers it will install there
[02:39] <securetux> Yeap, in the right side of the screen is black, all the keyboard configs have been lost, and compiz is not working i think
[02:39] <bc81> Jayro: gconftool-2 --set /apps/gnome-power-manager/notify/low_capacity --type bool false
[02:39] <Nitrohax> eoss, also remeber to install restricted extras from the software site
[02:39] <Jayro> thanks bc81
[02:40] <Nitrohax> eoss, did you get that one?
[02:40] <gaelfx> securetux: whoa, whoa, half of the screen is black? did you check that the cable is properly plugged in?
[02:41] <securetux> gaelfx, no, today was working everything ok. :( its a laptop. I think it was the last package update
[02:41] <nillerz> Hey can anyone help me with some driver issues?
[02:41] <Nitrohax> securetux, roll back on the video driver?
[02:41] <mickster04> securetux: ctrl+alt+f2, does the text reach across the whole screen if you type alot?
[02:41] <gaelfx> securetux: try rebooting and hold the shift key, grub should come up and you can select the previous kernel image to boot from
[02:42] <bc81> !anyone | nillerz
[02:42] <gaelfx> (it is shift key to get the grub menu nowadays, right?)
[02:42] <Nitrohax> gaelfx, yes
[02:42] <Jayro> so now that i have ubuntu looking nice,. I have a picture i want to be my background in terminal. But its too big, but ifi resize it , itll be too small if i drag the window bigger. Does anyone know how to make terminal stretch a backgroud image to fit? or a terminal replacement that can do that?
[02:42] <nillerz> !shutup | bc81
[02:42] <eoss> ok Nitrohax rerstarting i will be back
[02:42] <Nitrohax> eoss, ok
[02:42] <KB1JWQ> nillerz: Please keep it civil.
[02:42] <securetux> mickster04, yes it does, I can see the clock or the shutdown button, but not the desktop for eg.
[02:43] <gaelfx> you would think this was an LotR fanclubirc the way we get so many trolls in here
[02:43] <xtbgod> If i gave password to one partition of my pendrive using the Disk Utility how i'm able to open it on Win OS ?
[02:43] <bc81> nillerz: no need to be rude.  i must have missed your original question while i was away
[02:43] <mickster04> securetux: ok
[02:43] <securetux> I have Docky installed also in that side of the screen, i can see the bar
[02:43] <JunK-Y> right after ati driver 11.2, my linux is freezing, since theres no menu for grub, how can I boot in single mode?
[02:43] <Jayro> anyone?
[02:43] <nillerz> nobody likes dismissive ubottu go-tos.
[02:43] <nillerz> They are universally annoying.
[02:43] <securetux> I'll show you a print
[02:43] <gaelfx> JunK-Y: hold shift key when you boot, grub menu should show up
[02:44] <JunK-Y> gaelfx: i'll try, thanks
[02:44] <Jayro> so now that i have ubuntu looking nice,. I have a picture i want to be my background in terminal. But its too big, but ifi resize it , itll be too small if i drag the window bigger. Does anyone know how to make terminal stretch a backgroud image to fit? or a terminal replacement that can do that?
[02:44] <gaelfx> np
[02:44] <bc81> nillerz: get over it, those factoids are there for a reason
[02:44] <securetux> I cannot take a print =/ all keyboard config are not working
[02:44] <Axlin> securetux: ah, docky. this happens to me sometimes, too. usually a simple "compiz --replace" in the run dialog (alt+f2) fixes it. it's caused generally by compositing being disabled
[02:44] <dvez43> i have a quick question about wireless cards
[02:44] <dvez43> if anyone has time
[02:44] <bigbang> when i try to run compiz on my  terminal i get following error
[02:44] <bigbang> Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
[02:44] <Nitrohax> Jayro, edit it in gimp
[02:44] <bigbang> Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
[02:44] <ublender> I have a large number of files in my home folder and nowhere to transfer them to. I want to reinstall ubuntu without moving these files? Is this possible? For example if I were to run the ubuntu instal disk and choose the manual partition for my current '/' as the new destination, would it all work out, leaving my home folder?
[02:44] <FloodBot1> bigbang: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:44] <bigbang> Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
[02:45] <nillerz> bc81, to add beaurocracy to a community that doesn't need it
[02:45] <securetux> Axlin, hey! that could be! i 'll try that thanks
[02:45] <bc81> !ot | nillerz
[02:45] <Jayro> Nitrohax, but i need it to stretch to the terminal whatever the size of the terminal is
[02:45] <dvez43> my wireless card stopped working today
[02:45] <dvez43> i need some assistance
[02:45] <Nitrohax> oh you just want it was a back ground in terminal?
[02:45] <securetux> Couldn't find a perfect decorator match; trying all decorators --> Found no decorator to start
[02:45] <dvez43> im on a thinkpad laptop
[02:45] <Jayro> Nitrohax,  yes
[02:45] <nillerz> now you're just being obnoxious. Anyway, does anyone know the method that the program Joystick uses to identify non-USB controllers?
[02:45] <gaelfx> dvez43: what kind of card and also did you instlal any updates recently?
[02:45] <ChogyDan> ublender: I believe so.  I think next release they are going to fix the GUI to make it more obvious.  Just setup your partitions and _don't_ set any to be formatted.
[02:45] <dvez43> yes
[02:46] <dvez43> just installed a couple new updates
[02:46] <securetux> Axlin, well, i still dont see the screen but now keyboard configs work fine!
[02:46] <dvez43> wireless-n intel pro
[02:46] <gaelfx> !tab | dvez43
[02:46] <OvermindDL1> Does anyone know of any good software for a high-end Android touchphone for controlling an Ubuntu computer over, say, wifi, using a remote keyboard/mouse/etc...?
[02:46] <eoss> Nitrohax, still choppy
[02:46] <Nitrohax> Jayro, I just resized and tweaked it for a bit so it still fit into the temrinal
[02:46] <gaelfx> dvez43: which updates, do you remember?
[02:46] <ublender> ChogyDan: thanks, that's awesome. i sure hope it works, because if my files vanish, i might cry.
[02:46] <mickster04> OvermindDL1: find an android forum or channel...
[02:46] <dvez43> hmm
[02:46] <bigbang> when i try to run compiz i get following error http://paste.ubuntu.com/571483/
[02:46] <Axlin> securetux: no decorators? can you access the compiz control panel?
[02:47] <Nitrohax> eoss, after installing the grphics drivers and restricted-extras?
[02:47] <dvez43> im not to sure actually, i just did it like 20 minutes ago, and now the wireless card isnt working
[02:47] <ChogyDan> ublender: well, you _should_ have a backup anyway  :p
[02:47] <dvez43> is there any way to reinstall the driver?
[02:47] <securetux> Axlin, now, its gonne =/
[02:47] <Jayro> Nitrohax,  but i drag terminals to make them bigger and stuff all the time. Is there another terminal replacement that can make an image stretch to fit whatever size i have the terminal?
[02:47] <eoss> Nitrohax, i ran additional driver and the proprietary driver for my graphics card is now installed
[02:47] <Nitrohax> Jayro, let me look at soemthing
[02:48] <Jayro> Nitrohax,  thanks. lemme know
[02:48] <Nitrohax> eoss, what are you trying to view that is choppy?
[02:48] <Nitrohax> Jayro, checking to see what i have.
[02:48] <gaelfx> dvez43: can you pastebin "iwconfig", assuming it isn't empty?
[02:48] <eoss> Nitrohax, regular youtube videos
[02:48] <Nitrohax> did you install the latest java?
[02:48] <dvez43> says no wireless extensions
[02:48] <ublender> ChogyDan: when i get a spare tb hdd, i will :P
[02:48] <dvez43> under lo
[02:48] <eoss> Nitrohax, yep
[02:48] <securetux> Axlin, there where some package missing, i'll try rebooting X
[02:48] <Nitrohax> ok one sec
[02:48] <dvez43> and eth0 no wireless extensions
[02:49] <Guest94239> so can i have a full disk encrypted install with alternate
[02:49] <theperfecttaco> after updating to maverick my bootloader is malfunctioning - comp goes into grub-recovery at startup. has anyone had a similar experience?
[02:49] <Axlin> securetux: do you mean that you don't have ccsm installed?
[02:49] <Guest94239> or is the boot still unencrypted _
[02:49] <Guest94239> ??
[02:49] <gaelfx> dvez43: ok, is there a switch for your wireless? if so, is it turned on?
[02:49] <dvez43> nope, its turned on
[02:49] <dvez43> first think i checked
[02:49] <bigbang> when i try to run compiz on my terminal i get following error http://paste.ubuntu.com/571483/
[02:50] <bc81> dvez43: have any blocks?  run >> rfkill list
[02:50] <gaelfx> dvez43: could you pastebin "lspci"?
[02:50] <Nitrohax> eoss, not sure what's going on with the chop. I haevn't gotten it.
[02:51] <gaelfx> !pb > dvez43
[02:51] <securetux> Axlin, still the same. I think i should reinstall compiz
[02:52] <Nitrohax> Jayro, looks like you are just going to have to tweak the one that came with sorry.
[02:52] <dvez43> http://paste.ubuntu.com/571484/
[02:52] <eoss> Nitrohax,  =[ thanks anyway
[02:52] <Axlin> securetux: well compiz barking that it couldn't find a window manager. in ccsm (sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager if you don't have it) has a plug in where you specify the window manager compiz should use
[02:52] <rmd_> can I dd the ubuntu .iso to a usb drive and boot from that? Will that work?
[02:52] <Nitrohax> eoss, is your net conection you think?
[02:52] <Jayro> Nitrohax,  what about terminal replacements that have that feature?
[02:52] <nillerz> 0x41 < What kind of hardware identifier is that?
[02:53] <syrinx> @rmd yea if you bios lets you boot from usb, sure.
[02:53] <Nitrohax> jayro, you can look in the software center or the net for those, but i didn't really see antyhign that would do what you are asking
[02:53] <rmd_> syrinx: So the .iso is bootable?
[02:53] <eoss> Nitrohax, ok figured out something, when i go in 1080p but dont enlarge the video then it does it
[02:53] <Jayro> do KDE terminals work for gnome?
[02:53] <Jayro> with all the same commands and stuff?
[02:53] <rmd_> mmmk.
[02:53] <securetux> Axlin, i've changed de visual effects of ubuntu, there where set as "None" now i selected Extra. The windows issue was resolved. but still its working strange
[02:53] <nillerz> Jayro, yup
[02:53] <Nitrohax> eoss, it's a conversion error then.
[02:53] <Jayro> nillerz, thanks
[02:53] <syrinx> rmd: you'd have to use the startup disk creator
[02:53] <dvez43> hmm it shows my network controller
[02:54] <gaelfx> dvez43: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1693370 it looks like a known issue, but I'm not sure if there's a way to deal with it
[02:54] <rmd_> syrinx: ... What does the disk creator do? I'm not using Ubuntu.
[02:54] <nillerz> Jayro, they're all just terminal emulators, emulating the same terminal.
[02:54] <Axlin> securetux: so to make sure i'm on the same page, your windows do have borders and the screen isn't half-black?
[02:54] <eoss> Nitrohax, because when i run them in 240p there isnt a problem
[02:54] <syrinx> creates the boot files; whats the specific circumstance?
[02:54] <securetux> Axlin, yeap! :)
[02:54] <Jayro> nillerz, awesome! thank you
[02:55] <gaelfx> rmd_: what disk creator are you talking about? if it's the USB startup disk creator, that creates a liveusb version of ubuntu on a thumb drive
[02:55] <securetux> Axlin, ok now i have compiz config button !
[02:55] <dvez43> i dont understand, it was working earlier today?
[02:55] <rmd_> syrinx: I'm on Archlinux right now.
[02:55] <Nitrohax> eoss, sound like you might need to change your resolution or upgrade a card.
[02:55] <nillerz> Jayro, you wanna be real 1337? alt, F2, then run X-term
[02:55] <Nitrohax> You aren't trying to run this in vbox are you eoss?
[02:55] <lumos> hi, i have a seta hardrive, when i try and install it doesnt recognise my hardrive
[02:55] <nillerz> package xterm
[02:55] <gaelfx> dvez43: hang on, I'm looking at the info I sent you
[02:55] <eoss> Nitrohax, no not vbox
[02:56] <Nitrohax> eoss, ok, what kind of CPu are you using?
[02:56] <Jayro> nillerz, im guess thats the real terminal that all the emulators control?
[02:56] <gaelfx> dvez43: is your router set to n-only mode?
[02:56] <syrinx> hmmm
[02:56] <eoss> Nitrohax, when i enlarge the video in 1080p it runs smooth, only when its high setting and in the normal size video
[02:56] <dvez43> connecting to a college network
[02:56] <eoss> nitro amd64
[02:56] <dvez43> never had problems
[02:56] <syrinx> not familiar rmd, im sure theres some type of startup disk creator for arch tho
[02:56] <dvez43> its a public wireless
[02:56] <rmd_> gaelfx: Right. But, specifically, what does the application do? I mean, I can copy or write files to the usb drive, but does it install a boot loader, anything like that?
[02:56] <Nitrohax> eoss, oh ok, it's a backwards problem. Sounds like it's workign to hard to change the size of the video
[02:56] <gaelfx> dvez43: hm, ok, I'm looking at another thing right now
[02:57] <syrinx> @rmd yes, exactly
[02:57] <syrinx> makes the drive bootable
[02:57] <gaelfx> rmd_: yeah, it installs a bootloader and whatnot, but you need an Ubuntu disk image to create it
[02:57] <eoss> Nitrohax, how can i fix that?
[02:57] <rmd_> syrinx: OK. So what bootloader? grub? How does it do it? Syslinux?
[02:57] <Nitrohax> eoss, i'm looking up solutions right now. one sec
[02:57] <syrinx> @rmd thats probably a question better suited for gaelfx
[02:57] <rmd_> gaelfx: I know that. But if I write the image to the usb drive using dd, it doesn't work.
[02:58] <dvez43> so here is something interesting
[02:58] <syrinx> because theres nothing to boot
[02:58] <syrinx> cant just boot an iso
[02:58] <mickster04> !who
[02:58] <syrinx> have to extract it and whatnot
[02:58] <gaelfx> rmd_: yeah, you can't just copy the thing over, the disk creator does a bunch of magic making sure that everything is copied bit-for-bit
[02:58] <dvez43> in the etc/mobprob.d/intel-5300-iwlagn-disable11n.conf
[02:59] <dvez43> shows options iwlagn 11n_disable=1
[02:59] <gaelfx> rmd_: and there is a special filesystem it uses, called squashfs that needs to be set up properly for everything to work
[02:59] <rmd_> gaelfx: OK. So. Imagine I don't have a disk creator. Is there a set of instructions for how to install the .iso to a usb drive and make it bootable?
[02:59] <nillerz> Jayro, nah xterm is still just another emulator
[02:59] <Jayro> nillerz, hahah there is so many of them
[02:59] <gaelfx> rmd_: yes, the communty help documentation has an article on it
[02:59] <dvez43> and yes, download the iso to usb program from the ubuntu website.
[03:00] <syrinx> @rmd, could you try to get a package called usb-creator?
[03:00] <gaelfx> dvez43: well, from what I've read, it can't use N anyways, so I don't think that's the problem, but you're more than welcome to try flipping the bit to get it to work. just remember how to undo what you've done
[03:00] <rmd_> the instructions I found on the community site got the usb drive to book, but it was a black screen.
[03:00] <syrinx> its made to do just what you want to do
[03:00] <Jayro> nillerz, well konsole sucks... moving on....

[03:00] <syrinx> doh
[03:01] <nillerz> make sure you know how to get back
[03:01] <nillerz> xterm is the 1337est.
[03:01] <nillerz> only use xterm
[03:01] <nillerz> its the quickest to type...
[03:01] <gaelfx> rmd_: ah, well, that might be a graphical issue, it might be an issue with the usb stick you're using or it could be a wholly different problem that I've never heard of :P
[03:01] <rmd_> gaelfx: Centrino Wireless..?
[03:01] <securetux> Axlin, i cannot enable the visual effects now. I think i should remove everything and install it from scratch. Do you know how i can do it?
[03:02] <Jayro> nillerz, but i use terminal ALOT and want it to look nice :3
[03:02] <gaelfx> rmd_ ooops, sorry
[03:02] <gaelfx> rmd_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
[03:03] <Axlin> securetux: does it give you an error?
[03:03] <gaelfx> rmd_: when it booted, did you at least see the menu giving you the options about how to use the USB?
[03:03] <nillerz> Jayro, I do too, but I want to look like a h4xor.
[03:04] <dave324> hi guys. when booting from the alt. cd and setting guided encryption for my disks, i see that the installer has created many logical partitions. are these needed? or can i just use primaries for FDE?
[03:04] <Jonii^> Hey, what's up with Firefox youtube-videos going "blank", like the flash-part becomes grayish brown and totally stops working until you refresh the page?
[03:04] <JunK-Y> gaelfx: it worked, many thanks
[03:04] <Jayro> i have an awesome background that says : "Unix, Where there is a shell, there is a way" that i want to put in my terminal :)
[03:04] <nillerz> and I'm more likely to alt-f2 and just type "xterm" than I am to move my mouse ALL THE WAY to the Applications menu...
[03:04] <Jayro> nillerz ^^
[03:04] <gaelfx> JunK-Y: no prob, glad to hear it :D
[03:04] <Jonii^> Like, I've used Ubuntu for a bit longer than a day now, and it has happened more than 5 times now
[03:04] <Jayro> nillerz, use hotkeys lol
[03:05] <nillerz> black background, green text. Nothing says "I will never get laid" more than that.
[03:05] <bc81> ctrl+alt+t
[03:05] <securetux> Axlin, no, the screen just starts blinking a lot, and then a error that says it couldnt been activated the desktop effects. Docky says it needs composition but it always said that (even when everything was working fine)
[03:05] <creativeembassy> Can someone help me figure out how to get an ethernet port working on an old Thinkpad A21p?
[03:05] <dave324> hypatia, you there?
[03:05] <creativeembassy> Trying to google for solutions, and finding nothing
[03:05] <rmd_> gaelfx: No. It was just black. I'll try following the instructions again, and get back to you.
[03:05] <creativeembassy> oh, never mind, wifey needs me for a few minutes
[03:05] <creativeembassy> I'll ask again in a bit
[03:05] <creativeembassy> :-)
[03:06] <gaelfx> rmd_: ok, sorry about not being more helpful
[03:06] <Axlin> securetux: and just to be sure, you have your video card drivers installed?
[03:06] <sacarlson> dav324 what are primaries and FDE?
[03:06] <Jonii^> If anyone knows, please tell. If the bug has a name of sorts, it'd be good to know so I could google it
[03:06] <gaelfx> FDE is full disk encryption
[03:07] <rmd_> gaelfx: Not your fault. I'm not really sure why you all have created an .iso that isn't bootable. *every*one else has :-/
[03:07] <securetux> Axlin, yes, i have ATI catalys control center. But they worked fine without them also
[03:07] <gaelfx> primaries are partitions that are not logical
[03:07] <hypatia> dave324: hola
[03:08] <dave324> hypatia,  when booting from the alt. cd and setting guided encryption for my disks, i see that the installer has created many logical partitions. are these needed? or can i just use primaries for FDE?
[03:08] <dave324> little copy action :P
[03:08] <babalu> hello any good mp3 manager software for ubuntu anyone?
[03:08] <gaelfx> rmd_: how is your display connected to your computer?
[03:08] <gaelfx> babalu: a lot of people like Exaile
[03:09] <rmd_> gaelfx: It's a laptop. When I say black screen, I should have said blank screen. Blinking cursor.
[03:09] <bc81> babalu: rhythmbox for me
[03:09] <dave324> hypatia, i think i need the logical volumes right?
[03:09] <babalu> its in software center?
[03:09] <dave324> im reading this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1205372 hydrozii
[03:09] <bc81> yes, and yes

[03:09] <babalu> ty

[03:10] <dave324> babalu, try banshee
[03:10] <rmd_> vlc
[03:10] <gaelfx> rmd_: it sounds like the image didn't get written correctly. you might try using unetbootin
[03:10] <Axlin> securetux: hm. what happens when you run compiz from the terminal?
[03:10] <hypatia> dave324: for encryption?
[03:10] <Axlin> securetux: just open one up and type "compiz"
[03:10] <sacarlson> dave324: you can use LUKS with normal partitions also I found,  with System>diskutility they have a cool tool to set it up
[03:10] <dave324> hypatia, yes
[03:10] <Jayro> nillerz, i found this: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/55492228/03457-Added-background-image-scaling-.patch
[03:11] <dave324> sacarlson, im using the alternate cd installer
[03:11] <Jayro> supposed to add the feature i want to gnome-terminal
[03:11] <gaelfx> rmd_: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ if that doesn't work, then I would have to say there is probably something wrong with the flash drive you're using
[03:11] <hypatia> dave324: you want LVM with encryption, guided
[03:11] <Jayro> what do you think nillerz?
[03:11] <hypatia> dave324: (if yuo want to use the whole drive)
[03:11] <rmd_> There's nothing wrong with this drive. :-/
[03:11] <rmd_> I'll try unetbootin, then.
[03:11] <securetux> Axlin, it starts blinking again, Docky doesnt work, the keyboard config is lost and the screen looks weired again
[03:11] <dave324> hypatia, yes i do
[03:11] <rmd_> Oh right. I downloaded that.
[03:11]  * rmd_ wanders off
[03:11] <Axlin> securetux: does it give you any output in the terminal?
[03:12] <sacarlson> dave324: yes I've used that to setup a FDE as you call it also I found a good link for it that worked for me.  the method I used in that case was not encyrypt /boot dir
[03:12] <securetux> Axlin, no
[03:12] <rmd_> huh
[03:12] <hypatia> dave324: then pick guided + lvm + encrypted
[03:12] <Jonii^> Like, why doesn't flash work :<
[03:12] <rmd_> "libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file..." odd I have libpng installed.
[03:12] <nillerz> Jayro, that looks like... a lot of code.
[03:12] <Jonii^> What's the name of the bug, what is causing it, and how to fight it?
[03:13] <Axlin> securetux: well if you do "metacity --replace" does the screen at least stop blinking?
[03:13] <Jayro> nillerz, i know x] lol
[03:13] <dave324> hypatia, guided doesnt allow me to specify the enc algo?
[03:13] <securetux> Axlin, the screen starts blinking just for a seconds, then it stops when i run compiz
[03:13] <hypatia> dave324: the defaults are fine unless you really know what you're doing.  i see the instructions you're going with, i wouldn't bother doing a separate  /home
[03:14] <dave324> yeah
[03:14] <securetux> Axlin, with metacity --replace it all works fine but without visual effects
[03:14] <hypatia> dave324: it's lvm so you can change things around later if you need to
[03:14] <sacarlson> dave324: this is what I used as my reference in FDE install using alternate cd as install method http://joernfranz.wordpress.com/2011/01/20/installing-ubuntu-10-10-with-full-disk-encryption/
[03:14] <dave324> does guided encrypt swap as well?
[03:14] <hypatia> dave324: yup
[03:14] <dave324> sacarlson, i was looking for that
[03:15] <sacarlson> dave324: I would like to know if you just install without /boot unencrypted how that works also
[03:15] <dave324> wouldnt work
[03:16] <br10ta10> I want to create a system with three flavors of Linux. Do I make five partitions (1 shared swap, 1 shared /boot, and then 1 for each of the three OS flavors)?
[03:16] <ruffdog> Can you have Windows dual boot with Ubuntu if you use Ubuntu disk encryption?
[03:16] <gaelfx> ruffdog: should be able to
[03:17] <gaelfx> ruffdog: I thought the encryption only applied to the partitions of ubuntu
[03:17] <Axlin> securetux: hm. well i'm finding online that a lot of people simply have weird issues with compiz + ATI cards. it's related to drivers, generally. do you know the model of your card? i'll see if i can find anything related to it specifically
[03:17] <eoss> anything Nitrohax ?
[03:17] <securetux> Axlin, Yep, its ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250
[03:17] <securetux> thank you very much
[03:18] <ruffdog> gaelfx, good point.  I think you're right.
[03:19] <Axlin> securetux: in the meantime, try this in the terminal: glxinfo | grep rendering
[03:19] <george__> anyone know morse code?
[03:19] <securetux> Axlin, the thing is that it was working fine, maybe i touch something i shouldnt or deleted something
[03:19] <securetux> Ok
[03:19] <Axlin> securetux: it should output with "direct rendering: yes"
[03:20] <mickster04> !ot | george__
[03:20] <securetux> Axlin, glxinfo is not installed, Ill install it
[03:20] <Jonii^> So, why does flash not-work, what's the name of the bug, the cause, and all that?
[03:21] <securetux> Axlin, Rendering Yes ! :)
[03:21] <gaelfx> Jonii^: Adobe
[03:21] <ChogyDan> Jonii^: chromium?
[03:21] <Axlin> ok, well at least we have that :P
[03:21] <sacarlson> ruffdog: yes you can, the ubuntu encrypted partitions are totaly separate from your windows unencrypted partitions
[03:21] <Axlin> i'll keep looking
[03:21] <mickster04> Jonii^: it does work?
[03:21] <itaylor57> Jonii^: my flash works fine

[03:28] <Axlin> securetux: at amd.com, they have a driver download page at the top right where you can find your card. they'll have the linux driver available there. it's an automated .run installer

[03:28] <gaelfx> westy: is this guide infallible?
[03:28] <securetux> Axlin, i'll look for it, thanks

[03:29] <securetux> Axlin, should i remove the last version?
[03:29] <westy> the guide is for a server

[03:33] <playbeasy> I even like them on facebook ;-)
[03:33] <playbeasy> never dealt with a better company

[03:34] <westy> i need the server ;-(
[03:35] <playbeasy> heh, nice. Never even noticed. They're xen domains.
[03:35] <gaelfx> Dragynbane: what kind of errors?
[03:35] <elmo_> oh neat, xen is a pretty solid vps system
[03:35] <andresmh> is there a command to push the output into the clipboard (i'm on gnome/compiz)

[03:40] <gwz> Hey, I was having issues with ubuntu installation, using wubi and getting "no root filesystem defined" :s
[03:40] <sacarlson> westy: what version of ubuntu are you running?
[03:40] <westy> 10.1 kde
[03:40] <gwz> also, C:\ubuntu\disks\boot\grub seems to be empty
[03:41] <jordan_> hypatia, heyyyyyyy
[03:41] <mickster04> gwz: does the wubi installer give you a screen in which to define the size of the ubuntu partition, i haven't used wubi before...
[03:41] <Jezzzxxx> ok.. i rebooted into live cd but still can't resize the partition
[03:41] <gwz> mickster04: yes
[03:41] <gaelfx> Jezzzxxx: what does it say when you try?
[03:41] <djhash_> westy: did you try installing the dev packages of mysql?
[03:42] <Jezzzxxx> gaelfx: gparted shows a ton of free space, but it shows the max as the current size.
[03:42] <westy> djhash_: i dont think i have but ill check
[03:42] <sacarlson> westy: well I don't know how that could happen,  I would try --purge mysql-server mysql-common mysql-client  myphpadmin  and reinstall
[03:42] <Jezzzxxx> gaelfx:  I think these two swap/logical partitions are messing me up.  they still show locked
[03:42] <gaelfx> Jezzzxxx: you have two swap partitions?
[03:43] <Jezzzxxx> gaelfx: well.. no.  one is a 3.1GB swap partition and one is a 3.1GB extended partition
[03:43] <Jezzzxxx> gaelfx: "container for logical partitions" and "swap partition"
[03:43] <Jezzzxxx> gaelfx: erm.. "Swap Space"
[03:43] <Jezzzxxx> gaelfx:  each is 3.1 gb
[03:44] <gaelfx> Jezzzxxx: oh, no, that's how it's supposed to be
[03:44] <sacarlson> westy:  also maybe you have some ppa in your repository?  lets see your /etc/apt/source.list  pastebinit to us
[03:44] <gwz> anyone?
[03:44] <Jezzzxxx> gaelfx:  if I resize in gparted, it shows the max size is limited to what it already is
[03:44] <gaelfx> Jezzzxxx: a logical partition just allows you to have more than four partitions, so that's normal
[03:45] <gaelfx> Jezzzxxx: are you sure that the drive isn't mounted?
[03:45] <Golden> mdadm help anyone?
[03:45] <gaelfx> Jezzzxxx: if the drive is mounted, you can't change anything in it
[03:45] <Jezzzxxx> gaelfx: the primary partition (dev/sda1) is not mounted.  but it appears as though the other two are
[03:46] <Jezzzxxx> gaelfx: how do I unmount the swap and logical?
[03:46] <gaelfx> Jezzzxxx: no, you shouldn't need to do that
[03:46] <Jezzzxxx> gaelfx: oh... i just right clicked and chose "swap off"
[03:46] <Jezzzxxx> gaelfx: that removed the lock icon from those partitions
[03:47] <gaelfx> Jezzzxxx: are you trying to make sda1 bigger or smaller?
[03:47] <folklore> if I forgot my login info
[03:47] <folklore> anyway to get in ubuntu?
[03:47] <Jezzzxxx> gaelfx:  bigger.  it is currently 77GB.  I would like to make it 1000GB
[03:47] <gaelfx> folklore: brute force pasword guessing
[03:47] <folklore> besides that
[03:48] <gaelfx> Jezzzxxx: and does gparted show that you have any unallocated space on this hard drive?
[03:48] <Jezzzxxx> gaelfx: yes.  857.01GB
[03:48] <itaylor57> folklore: yes there is
[03:48] <westy> http://pastebin.com/R7hexEtp
[03:48] <Jezzzxxx> gaelfx: so I would like my new partition to fill the remaining space .. ~900MB

[03:49] <gaelfx> Jezzzxxx: also, I should tell you that it's better to have more than one partition for your system
[03:49] <sacarlson> westy: when I look for your file on my system this is what I find  /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.16
[03:50] <Jezzzxxx> gaelfx: oh.  why is that?
[03:50] <gaelfx> Jezzzxxx: lemme guess, the first thing is sda1, then the logical partition, then a bunch of free space?
[03:50] <aman> can anyone tell me which file executes first after login in?
[03:50] <Jezzzxxx> gaelfx: exactly
[03:51] <gaelfx> Jezzzxxx: if you mount '/' and '/home' on two separate partitions, then you can reinstall the system and keep all of your home folder files intact
[03:51] <gaelfx> Jezzzxxx: ok, delete the logical partition, if you can
[03:51] <Jezzzxxx> gaelfx: that is way beyond my noobish skills :)
[03:51] <Jezzzxxx> gaelfx: ok... deleting the logical part
[03:51] <gaelfx> Jezzzxxx: it's actually pretty easy, what you're doing now is all you have to know how to do to do it
[03:51] <Jezzzxxx> gaelfx:  logical deleted
[03:52] <moy1989> buenas disculpen las molestias pero alguien me podria decir como bloquear un equipo para que no tenga salida a internet con iptables?
[03:52] <gaelfx> ok, now create a new swap partition at the END of the drive
[03:52] <Ephras> Could I ask how exactly do binaries work?
[03:52] <gaelfx> !es | moy1989
[03:52] <Ephras> I've always been under the impression that a program compiled on a machine will only work on that machine.
[03:52] <gaelfx> Ephras: binaries are like files full of 1010101 that run straight through the processor
[03:52] <aman> gaelfx, can u tell me which file executes first after logging into the system????
[03:52] <westy> i have that libmysqlclient.so.16
[03:53] <gaelfx> aman: sorry I don't know
[03:53] <Ephras> So they don't contain any information unique to the machine?
[03:53] <aman> gaelfx, its ok no problm
[03:53] <Jezzzxxx> gaelfx: should I keep it at 3.1GB and what volume name?
[03:53] <sacarlson> westy: why does your mysql client not link to that?
[03:53] <itaylor57> Ephras: it depends on the executable
[03:53] <Jezzzxxx> gaelfx: also, how do I create it at the END?
[03:53] <andresmh> is there an command line program I can use to create a PDF out of a couple of jpegs?
[03:53] <itaylor57> Ephras: and whether it uses static or shared libs
[03:53] <westy> to the servers cuz it cant my that libmysqlclient.so.12
[03:53] <gaelfx> Jezzzxxx: no volume name should be needed, you can make it whatever size you want, but I suggest at least twice the size of your physical RAM
[03:54] <westy> cant find***
[03:54] <sacarlson> westy:  you must be running the wrong bin file
[03:54] <langbeyond> hello world
[03:54] <Ephras> So like say I compiled the GIMP on my computer - would the executable work on another machine?
[03:54] <Jezzzxxx> gaelfx: ok. i'll keep it at 3.1 - but it doesn't want to go to the END
[03:54] <Ephras> Or does it depend on compilation options?
[03:55] <gaelfx> Jezzzxxx: hm, really? maybe you should just wait to make the swap and first extend sda1
[03:55] <sacarlson> westy: my guess is you some how installed some mysql bin from ?  and are trying to run that instead of the standard ubuntu version
[03:56] <Jezzzxxx> gaelfx: ok. will I need to leave space for the logical partition also?
[03:56] <Golden> anyone care to sidebar with me on mdadm config and getting my arrays back?
[03:56] <gaelfx> Jezzzxxx: see, not so hard to figure it out? That's exactly right
[03:56] <Jezzzxxx> gaelfx: when I right click the primary parition, the resize option is no longer there.  in fact, the right click menu is gone.
[03:57] <pfifo> Im going to make a pot of coffee, anyone want a cup?
[03:57] <westy> i dont think i did the server has a bin file that has all the info for connections
[03:57] <gaelfx> Jezzzxxx: hm, that's odd. maybe you need to restart gparted
[03:57] <Golden> fresh beans .. i'm in
[03:58] <Jezzzxxx> gaelfx:  my fault.  somehow I was in disk manager instead of gparted
[03:58] <Jezzzxxx> gaelfx: ok... this looks like it will let me make a partition at the end
[03:58] <gaelfx> Jezzzxxx: haha, that's ok, no worries
[03:59] <gaelfx> Jezzzxxx: perfect, even easier :D
[03:59] <sacarlson> westy:  what does this display mysql -V
[03:59] <Ephras> Hmm I think I've found the answer... thanks for your help gaelfx and itaylor57 :o
[03:59] <westy> ysql  Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.1.49, for debian-linux-gnu (x86_64) using readline 6.1
[03:59] <Jezzzxxx> gaelfx: ok, not it isn't aparent to me how to make a swap partition.  my options are primary and extended.
[03:59] <gaelfx> Jezzzxxx: extended, if my memory serves
[04:00] <westy> i can log into mysql view the databases and the tables just fine its when starting the severs it cant find that file
[04:00] <westy> if i knew why unrar fails to unrar the file that i have those files in i can easly finish this
[04:00] <sabboo> before i waste a lot of time, how do i tell whether my ubuntu is 32bit or 64bit?
[04:01] <gaelfx> sabboo: I think it's uname -l
[04:01] <sacarlson> westy: how do you start the server?
[04:01] <aman> gaelfx, i got the answer buddy :)
[04:01] <westy> ill paste bin th ecmd
[04:01] <gaelfx> aman: ah, goood, what is it?
[04:01] <westy> the cmd**
[04:02] <aman> gaelfx, after logging in, the first file that is executed is the user's shell :))
[04:02] <gaelfx> sabboo: oops, uname -r
[04:02] <gaelfx> grr
[04:02] <gaelfx> uname -a
[04:02] <westy> http://pastebin.com/A5SCgp2g
[04:03] <gaelfx> aman: ah, haha, shoulda known!
[04:03] <aman> gaelfx, yeah, how dumb is me.....:P
[04:03] <gaelfx> aman: hey, I didn't know either
[04:03] <sabboo> gaelfx, nope, it doesn't tell me 32but or 64bit one way or another
[04:03] <aman> gaelfx, then how much dumb we 2 are....:P :D
[04:04] <pfifo> sabboo look for a directory like thi /usr/lib64
[04:04] <gaelfx> sabboo: if uname -a says x86, then it's 32, if x86_64, it's 64
[04:04] <itaylor57> sabboo: uname -,
[04:04] <sacarlson> westy: well your mysql server is started auto at boot time,  I'm not sure what your script is suposed to do
[04:04] <gaelfx> aman: haha, exactly ;)
[04:04] <itaylor57> sabboo: uname -m
[04:04] <gaelfx> Jezzzxxx: is everything ok?
[04:04] <westy> script is to start the servers instead of going into each dir and doing it manually
[04:05] <westy> all 4 servers
[04:05] <westy> at once
[04:05] <ElmoOnLSD> 1
[04:05] <Jezzzxxx> gaelfx: i think so.  I created the logical and swap at end.  now i'm resizing my original.
[04:05] <westy> maybe
[04:05] <sacarlson> westy: you only need one server that can run many data bases
[04:05] <gaelfx> Jezzzxxx: beautiful, sounds like you don't need any more help :P
[04:05] <Jezzzxxx> gaelfx: it wants to leave 1mb unallocated.  can I get rid of that?
[04:06] <westy> the client depends on those 4 servers :-(
[04:06] <sabboo> gaelfx, nope no 32 bit or 64 bit anywhere
[04:06] <westy> and im not about to figure out how to read korean lol
[04:06] <GaMeBoY> Hello, I just bought an ASUS Eee PC T101MT and I trying to figure out which of the netbook/lightweight linux distros I should put on it. I am leaning towards ubuntu netbook edition. Does this have good touch screen support out of the box? Oh, and does it work well with pen/stylus writing on resistive screens?
[04:06] <sacarlson> westy: your script or tar package must be attempting to run some binary mysql that you don't have the libs for
[04:07] <pfifo> sabboo, then it must be 48bit
[04:07] <eoss> how do i stop a process from starting when ubuntu starts up?
[04:07] <GaMeBoY> Oh and I saw that there's an ubuntu-eeepc channel, but it's pretty empty
[04:07] <itaylor57> sabboo: uname -m will show you
[04:07] <Golden> how would i have mdadm write my current raid setup to mdadm.conf? it's a bit of an annoyance to go in and re engineer it every reboot
[04:08] <miketomdool> eoss: you can use boot up manager (package bum)
[04:08] <eoss> sudo apt-get install bum ?
[04:08] <pfifo> GaMeBoY, inho the netbook remix is harder to use than the desktop version
[04:08] <miketomdool> yes
[04:08] <gaelfx> Jezzzxxx: what's 1mb in 1tb?
[04:08] <sabboo> itaylor57, it just says i686
[04:08] <sacarlson> westy: look inside the scripts and change the mysql-server they use to point at the ubuntu version
[04:08] <gaelfx> Jezzzxxx: I'd leave it
[04:09] <itaylor57> that is 32 bit what distro are you running?
[04:09] <gaelfx> sabboo: then that's 32 bit
[04:09] <westy> ahh i bet thats what it is cuz its using an older version!!!??? lol idk hopefully
[04:09] <sabboo> thanks, guys
[04:10] <Jezzzxxx> gaelfx: ok.  it's still resizing.  tyvm for the help
[04:10] <sabboo> the celeron duo is 64 bit right?
[04:10] <GaMeBoY> pfifo: really? interesting, how so?
[04:10] <boldfilter> im trying to add my SuSE partition to my ubuntu grub
[04:10] <sacarlson> westy: if you want a dirty fix just symbolic link it to what they want  ln -s
[04:11] <gaelfx> Jezzzxxx: no prob, hope it works out well for ya
[04:11] <eoss> is there a way to use my gui to start bum, ill forget i have bum if i dont see it
[04:12] <eoss> nevermind i see it
[04:12] <westy> i tried doing that from the libmysqlclient.so.16 but it didnt work lol
[04:12] <mcscharlie> oh i hear ya
[04:12] <miketomdool> eoss: is bum doing the trick for you?
[04:12] <gaelfx> sabboo: most duo processors are
[04:13] <eoss> yep, thanks miketomdool
[04:13] <itaylor57> sabboo: cat /prod/cpuinfo
[04:13] <Docfxit> Why are all changes and softwar installs are lost when I re-boot Ubuntu 10.10.
[04:13] <miketomdool> yw =P
[04:13] <pfifo> GaMeBoY, well first off let me say that desktop and remix are identical when it comes to packages. So in my opinion the packages that come preinstalled with desktop are more suitable for a computer system.
[04:13] <Docfxit> softwar = software
[04:13] <bbbb> someone can help me about sharing internet pc via bluetooth?
[04:13] <itaylor57> sabboo: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[04:14] <sacarlson> westy: I guess you have to point you symbolic link at the bin files not the libs
[04:14] <westy> ok
[04:14] <pfifo> GaMeBoY, if you have previous experience with desktop you might find remix to be burdensome when it comes to finding things and doing tasks
[04:16] <GaMeBoY> pfifo: oh ok i see. well is remix more lightweight and faster? as in, is it definitely the better choice for low-performing computers or is there not that much of a difference?
[04:16] <gaelfx> GaMeBoY: no difference
[04:16] <DisasteR> hi
[04:16] <dr_Willis> Lubuntu is gotten quite good for low end machines. But i guess it all depends on your exacgt needs
[04:16] <rmd_> There's no official Tor package in Ubuntu?
[04:16] <pfifo> GaMeBoY, there is no difference
[04:17] <gaelfx> GaMeBoY: linux in general is designed to be lightweight and perform better on lower-specced machines
[04:17] <dr_Willis> rmd_ not any more.. not been one for some time
[04:17] <DisasteR> grub2 gfxmenu is working on maverick ?
[04:17] <rmd_> dr_Willis: ... odd.
[04:17]  * rmd_ looks for a PPA
[04:17] <dr_Willis> rmd_ there are wiki pages that tell how to setup tor
[04:17] <dr_Willis> rmd_	 tor homepage is where to start. and the wiki
[04:17] <Himem-Sys> hey peeps cant get ubuntu to see my netgear wga111 any ideas?
[04:17] <BitEncrypt> i installed lubuntu-desktop but i cannot select it when i log out
[04:18] <dr_Willis> not odd at all realy. theres no one wanting to maintain tor for ubuntu. so its gone.
[04:18] <gaelfx> rmd_: I take it you got the liveusb to work?
[04:18] <nit-wit> BitEncrypt, you choose it at the login gui
[04:19] <rmd_> gaelfx: yeah. I had to use unetbootin. Annoying, but such is life. I'm more baffled by the lack of a Tor package..
[04:19] <Himem-Sys> guess thats the 1st step
[04:19] <BitEncrypt> nit-wit, i know its not there to select
[04:19] <GaMeBoY> pfifo, gaelfx: that make sense. thanks for the tips!
[04:19] <miketomdool> can you get into xterm BitEncryption?
[04:19] <gaelfx> rmd_: yeah, it's strange that they don't make one anymore
[04:19] <gaelfx> GaMeBoY: no problem, hope you enjoy your linux experience :D
[04:19] <rmd_> Also, I told the install process to download updates as it installed the software.. it obviously didn't do that, as I booted into 226 new updates.
[04:19] <dr_Willis> gdm may need to be restarted for  Lubuntu to show in the menus'
[04:19] <nit-wit> BitEncrypt, not in the popup, how did you install
[04:20] <BitEncrypt> miketomdool,  idk nvr tried
[04:20] <miketomdool> I think dr_Willis is right
[04:20] <Golden> got my arrays up and mounted can see data now .. next question is about persistent device naming. looking at fdisk -l .. what was sda is now sdd .. i would like it to be sda for organizational purposes .. as well as the other 6 drives maintaining a consistant position. so that I can write an mdadm.conf and and modify the fstab to mount them the same with each infrequent reboot.
[04:20] <BitEncrypt> nit-wit, sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop
[04:21] <GaMeBoY> gaelfx: thanks! i'm not totally new to linux though. i've used ubuntu 8.10 (or 04, i forget which one, it was intrepid ibex), pclinuxos, debian, and currently using fedora 12
[04:21] <r0z4> Hi some tool for encrypt the disk?
[04:21] <nit-wit> BitEncrypt, yeah if you aven't rebooted I would try that as suggested by the dr_Willis
[04:21] <dr_Willis> or try a 'sudo service gdm restart' (or ldm if you are using ldm)
[04:21] <pfifo> Golden, dont use /dev/sda use /dev/disk/by-uuid/
[04:21] <westy> sacarlson: it showing on this guide that i need to give root permission 777 to all the files see it can read and write to them correctly, how can i do that?
[04:22] <dr_Willis> that WILL restart you rX session
[04:22] <gaelfx> GaMeBoY: ah, gotcha, sorry for the stupid assumption!
[04:22] <amit> when i ooen terminal it shows bash 4.1$
[04:23] <GaMeBoY> gaelfx: no worries at all!
[04:23] <GaMeBoY> i'm gonna take off. cya guys, take care!
[04:23] <dr_Willis> amit perhaps your .bashrc or .profile got removed/deleted/messed up.
[04:24] <amit> dr_willis: how to recover it
[04:24] <dr_Willis> amit see if thy exist for starters
[04:24] <dr_Willis> could be you rprompt is just messed up.
[04:24] <dr_Willis> cat .bashrc  and see if its there
[04:24] <amit> dr_willis:plz explain sir "starters'
[04:25] <amit> ok
[04:25] <Golden> pfifo: i see that uuids are set in fstab atm but just for the boot/system/swap disk however it did move from being sda at install to sdd now that I've rebooted and added the other 6 drives and initialized the arrays on them etc.. will that continue to happen? if it does how to i get my arrays back again without going into a bunch of unfun cli stuff?
[04:25] <amit> dr_willis: cat .bashrc  says no such file or directory
[04:26] <pfifo> Golden, it is impossible to predict what device node a disk will be assigned be the kernel. However the UUID of a filesystem will always remain the same
[04:26] <dr_Willis> amit see if theres a .profile also.  could be you deleted the files
[04:27] <Golden> also how do i get the uuids of the disks that are not showing up in the fstab
[04:27] <amit> dr_willis: it also says no such file or directory
[04:27] <pfifo> Golden, blkid
[04:27] <hhhzzzarn> Need help with faster vnc viewing, suggestions.
[04:27] <Golden> blkid
[04:27] <dr_Willis> amit see if they exist in /etc/skel/ if so copythem to your users home.
[04:27] <Golden> wrong kbd
[04:28] <dr_Willis> hhhzzzarn use lightweight window manager. not a full desktop.   use lower res screen, use lower # of colors.
[04:28] <dr_Willis> or check out freenx
[04:29] <amit> dr_willis; i opened vi /etc/skel but it is empty
[04:29] <BitEncrypt> dr_Willis,  i did sudo servive gdm restart didnt work all that shows up is failsafe gnome....gnome....xterm....is it possible to update lubuntu from gdm
[04:29] <rmd_> How do I restart privoxy... ?
[04:29] <hhhzzzarn> dr_Willis: xfce4, vncserver :1 -geometry 640x480 color depth: 8? or 16? rgb?
[04:29] <dr_Willis> am	it skel is a Directory.. not a file..look for files (hidden) in the directory
[04:29] <amit> ok
[04:29] <dr_Willis> 8 would be faster hhhzzarn
[04:29] <dr_Willis> but look ugly.
[04:30] <Golden> ok have a good tut that explins about fstab what everything is in it .. I'm finding the man pages hard to follow
[04:30] <dr_Willis> hhhzzzrn and just a single window manager. not a desktop would be faster still
[04:30] <hhhzzzarn> dr_Willis, the program I am running is very graphic.
[04:30] <amit> dr_willis: how to see m confused
[04:30] <pfifo> Golden, try viewing the man pages online in a webbrowser
[04:30] <dr_Willis> amit use your file manager to look in the directory like you would any other dierctory.
[04:31] <dr_Willis> amit be siure to have it show hidden files
[04:31] <hhhzzzarn> dr_Willis: single window manager? sudo apt-get install xfce4    NOT  sudo apt-get xubuntu-desktop
[04:31] <amit> dr_willis:but i cannot go to any directory through command
[04:31] <dr_Willis> hhhzzrn xfce is a 'desktop'  it uses the 'xfwm' window manager
[04:31] <hhhzzzarn> dr willis: suggestion then?
[04:32] <dr_Willis> amit i would have to guess you are doing it wrong..   cd /etc/skel    then ls -al
[04:32] <Golden> ok thx pfifo .. hoping i don't bork my fstab or mdadm.conf is all .. trying to recover from a borked system due to extended power outage .. wish i added a few extra batteries to my ups now..
[04:32] <BitEncrypt> dr_Willis,  see above comment plz
[04:32] <dr_Willis> hhhzzarn for fastest vnc  speeds. i tend to just use jwm.
[04:32] <amit> dr_willis:it says total 0
[04:32] <hhhzzzarn> dr_willis: I start with ubuntu 10.04 server? what gui should i install?
[04:33] <hhhzzzarn> ok
[04:33] <folklore> what would cause bash to say no such file or directory when running a program with ,/filename ? ls clearly shows it in the current dir
[04:33] <daksai3_> how do i register?
[04:33] <dr_Willis> dddzzarn you could just install jwm. if yu want.
[04:33] <SwedeMike> folklore: missing libraries. Try "ldd <filename>"
[04:33] <amit> dr_willis: ya there is many hidden files
[04:33] <folklore> thanks swedemike
[04:33] <Starminn> daksai3: Registering what?
[04:33] <daksai3_> my nickname and stuff
[04:33] <dr_Willis> amit	 anything begining with a . is hiden. see if the same files are in your home dir now
[04:33] <folklore> swedemike it showed some libs
[04:34] <amit> ok
[04:34] <SwedeMike> dr_Willis: ./ isn't the same as .
[04:34] <Golden> pfifo: for a lack of knowledge .. is uuid == to /dev/sdaX ? or is it a hardware id that will not change? if it's hwid i can see why that would be optimal to use..
[04:34] <Jonii^> Ok, flash is a lost cause. Next, how to make Ubuntu store less data about how I use it, like, "last used documents" thing?
[04:34] <daksai3_> someone please help register my nickname
[04:34] <dr_Willis> !register
[04:35] <pfifo> golden it is almost hardware level
[04:35] <amit> dr_willis:ya there is hidden files but .bashrc .bash_profile is missing from home directory
[04:35] <BitEncrypt> what is the best way to install lubuntu
[04:35] <folklore> swedemike are the libs it listed just what's required by it
[04:35] <folklore> or what's missing?
[04:35] <dr_Willis> amit then you deleted them. copy them from /etc/skel to your home dir if they are missing
[04:35] <SwedeMike> folklore: what's required, it'll show what's missing if anything is missing.
[04:35] <amit> ok
[04:35] <rmd_> the default ubuntu system monitor seems to be a bit wonky
[04:35] <dr_Willis> Lubunbtu has its own cd/iso files you can use bitencrypt
[04:36] <BitEncrypt> thx
[04:36] <rmd_> It says I'm using 20% cpu.. top says about 6%...
[04:36] <dr_Willis> or sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop
[04:36] <Golden> pfifo, cool thank you .. one more ? if i may .. when setting up my mdadm.conf can I use the uuids to define which drives go in which arrays?
[04:36] <dr_Willis> rnd_ check with htop
[04:37] <rmd_> dr_Willis: Same
[04:37] <rmd_> Same with top, that is
