[06:46] <DrPenguin> its non conductive so its great for cleaning sensitive equipment
[06:47] <bikcmp> DrPenguin: it's broken, actually
[06:47] <bikcmp> but just never did this before
[06:47] <bikcmp> it has nothing on it; i've never spilled anything on it
[06:47] <bikcmp> i baby it. :P
[06:47] <MahaVishnu> you know what else is non conductive
[06:47] <bikcmp> don't say it
[06:47] <MahaVishnu> lol
[06:47] <DrPenguin> Man jelly
[06:48] <MahaVishnu> no pretty sure thats conductive
[06:48] <bikcmp> DrPenguin: i've got proof it does actually conduct.
[06:48] <escott> bikcmp, you could try and verify that with xev
[06:48]  * bikcmp points to his burns.
[06:48] <skegeek> "Output VGA1 has no monitor section", "No DPMS capabilities specified" are two things found in xorg.0.log
[06:48] <DrPenguin> Oh God..
[06:48] <bikcmp> escott: xev?
[06:48] <bikcmp> DrPenguin: WANT TO SEE?
[06:48] <bikcmp> :P
[06:48] <DrPenguin> bikcmp: X Event Viewer, it records ALL X events and spits em into your terminal
[06:48] <DrPenguin> so mouse moves, key presses, etc etc
[06:48] <MahaVishnu> my ballzack is conductive.
[06:48] <DrPenguin> skegeek: well if your not using VGA1 thats fine.. many computers have more than 1 output
[06:49] <MahaVishnu> skegeek~ use xrandr -q to figure out ur outputs
[06:49] <bikcmp> figures
[06:49] <bikcmp> won't do it
[06:49] <bikcmp> haha
[06:49] <bikcmp> won't do it for some reason in xev.
[06:50] <DrPenguin> well if X isnt getting the event then you wont see it
[06:50] <escott> bikcmp, just repeatedly click the physical button and see if it fails to send a release event
[06:50] <shadghost> OMG my arcive stoped at 47 of 52 gigs
[06:50] <shadghost> arggg
[06:50] <skegeek> I'm using a 17" LCD which is identified as VGA1, so yes, VGA. It's an external monitor connected to a laptop.
[06:51] <escott> bikcmp, but that doesn't seem like a reasonable interpretation. you should notice a failed release
[06:51] <MahaVishnu> skegeek~ and what is your problem ?
[06:51] <DrPenguin> skegeek: thats not your monitor persay, thats your Video Output
[06:51] <bikcmp> escott: yeah, i've tried that
[06:51] <bikcmp> it doesn't work
[06:51] <bikcmp> like, it works but i mean it won't break. :P
[06:54] <escott> shadghost, what are you trying to archive?
[06:55] <shadghost> escott: It is a steam folder from one computer to a second, I am hopeing steam is smart enoufh to repare itself
[06:55] <shadghost> now
[06:55] <shadghost> sofar it is looking like it is
[06:55] <escott> shadghost, use rsync
[06:56] <shadghost> escott: The computer with the good steam files is quite a few miles away turned off now
[06:57] <shadghost> escott: And it looks like steam succesfully fixed it self!
[06:58] <skegeek> Sorry, system froze.
[06:58] <bullgard4> 'man streamripper': "streamripper includes a relay server for listening to the station while you are recording." How can I make Ubuntu 11.10 GNOME Shell 3.2.1 to produce an audible sound of the stream that I am recording at the same time?
[07:01] <skegeek> I did notice in a log yesterday something about "intel_drv" didn't exist and it was falling back to VESA. Could that mean it's not using the right driver for my Intel Mobile 965 Express Chipset?
[07:01] <DrPenguin> skegeek: haha most definitly
[07:01] <DrPenguin> sounds like your missing the actual intel driver, intel_drv.so
[07:02] <DrPenguin> so, whats happening is that X is falling back to the vesa driver because your missing the intel X driver
[07:03] <skegeek> Ahh. Where do I get it, I couldn't find a download...
[07:04] <DrPenguin> if you just reinstall the intel driver package it should repair it.. xserver-video-intel I think is the name…? im missing a piece.. do a dpkg -l | grep video, I think the way its called is xserver-video-blah-driver
[07:05] <achipanaluchu> i use ubuntu 11.10
[07:05] <achipanaluchu> can you help me change color on menu bar ?
[07:05] <achipanaluchu> i use gnome shell
[07:06] <achipanaluchu> i'm using gnome shell
[07:10] <skegeek> Ok, I just reinstalled the video driver package.  What's the best way to transfer (with success..) mp3-files to my iPad?
[07:13] <DrPenguin> Finnish: try gtkpod
[07:13] <root> ??
[07:13] <root> helle
[07:13] <Finnish> DrPenguin, Ok, I'll try that
[07:14] <skegeek> Ok, I've restarted the DM, but I'm still getting "Could not apply the stored configuration for monitors" error window.
[07:14] <DrPenguin> Finnish: your gonna need some libs as well to handle newer iOS's too, I forget what they are called, but it helps with handling issues with udev mounting the device.. its like libimobile or some bs
[07:15] <skegeek> The window doesn't have a close button either.
[07:15] <DrPenguin> skegeek: do you have any kind of window decoration?
[07:15] <skegeek> Default
[07:15] <skegeek> for 11.10
[07:16] <Finnish> DrPenguin, Ah, wait a minute. I've tried my iPad with gtkpod but there's something that just isn't right. I can mount it, ok, but I need to select appropriate model (mine is 32gb 3G) and I don't know what to choose from the list
[07:16] <DrPenguin> ok thats a good sign.. can you see if it loaded X with intel this time or just vesa?
[07:16] <DrPenguin> Finnish: then figure out which one to choose :P
[07:16] <almoxarife> skegeek: its nvidia?
[07:17] <Finnish> DrPenguin, Ok, I guess I have to do that... But I see mp3's going to iPad but music player can't see 'em in iPad. Maybe I need to do some more testing and tweaking etc?
[07:17] <DrPenguin> Finnish: they may not be going into the ipad properly, probably to some weird storage area that the ipad doesnt look at
[07:18] <Finnish> DrPenguin, Yeah, I'll look into that
[07:18] <DrPenguin> when you fix it, make sure you smack your self with the ipad, and go android next time :P
[07:18] <skegeek> It appears intel_drv loaded as well as vesa
[07:18] <DrPenguin> skegeek: it will only load one X driver, not 2
[07:19] <achipanaluchu> @ i'm using 11.10 gnome shell, how i can change my themes??
[07:20] <skegeek> Here is xorg.0.log regarding video http://pastebin.com/uL7sz3EP
[07:21] <DrPenguin> skegeek: yeah… tahts how X works when it tries to figure stuff out on its own, it loads the 3 best drivers, then gets rid of the 2 worst ones, vesa and fbdev are getting unloaded eventually
[07:22] <skegeek> I have Intel Mobile 965 Express Chipset, not sure if thats Nvidia or not.
[07:22] <DrPenguin> your not serious.. .right
[07:22] <skegeek> I don't think its Nvidia, but I'm not a hardware guru.
[07:22] <DrPenguin> i would think its blatently clear its intel
[07:23] <DrPenguin> (considering intel is in its name)
[07:23] <skegeek> Nvidia is owned by Intel..so
[07:23] <DrPenguin> …. say what again
[07:23] <DrPenguin> did you bang your head or something?
[07:24] <DrPenguin> intel most definitely does not own nvidia
[07:24] <DrPenguin> they compete on processors for Gods sake
[07:24] <skegeek> I thought Nvidia is a subsidiary of Intel.
[07:24] <DrPenguin> nooooooooooo way jose
[07:24] <skegeek> Like I said, I'm not a hardware guru
[07:25] <skegeek> Either way, you have your answer...intel not nvidia
[07:25] <yuri2> Hi, Can you suggest where can I download HUAWI 3g dongle drivers?
[07:26] <DrPenguin> yuri2: googles a nice start
[07:26] <DrPenguin> skegeek: yeah its definitely intel.. can you post me the entire Xorg log?
[07:26] <DrPenguin> s/post/paste/
[07:27] <Curly_Q> Hey guys! I have VirtualBox running on Windows 7. I installed Xubuntu and cannot sudo apt-get update. Any suggestions?
[07:28] <skegeek> http://pastebin.com/xGHFENm5
[07:28] <DrPenguin> Curly_Q: first check to make sure you have a net connection.. id imagine your virtual ethernet adapter settings may be off.. but its hard to tell when you just say "it doesnt work"
[07:28] <Curly_Q> Could it be that Xubuntu is not supported any longer? I got a 404 IP not found message in the command prompt.
[07:29] <DrPenguin> not sure.. I was using lubuntu the other day and it was working.. are you sure you have an internet connection?
[07:29] <Curly_Q> Yes the connection is OK.
[07:29] <Curly_Q> Ifconfig -a works.
[07:29] <DrPenguin> skegeek: odd.. your xorg log doesnt match your error message.. your modeline.. what refresh rate did you set it as?
[07:30] <Curly_Q> Because it is a Virtual connection, perhaps it is a Windows 7 issue. Not sure. This is my first time at this.
[07:30] <DrPenguin> actually, give me the entire modeline, res n all
[07:30] <DrPenguin> Curly_Q: I doubt that
[07:30] <DrPenguin> I have an Ubuntu VM on my work computer and it can access the ubuntu repos no issue on our corp net
[07:32] <skegeek> This is the command I used:  xrandr --newmode "1280x1024_60.00"  109.00  1280 1368 1496 1712  1024 1027 1034 1063 -hsync +vsync
[07:32] <skegeek> I got it from cvt command
[07:33] <DrPenguin> well.. looking at your xorg log.. X is reading 1280x1024_60 from the EDID.. but it doesnt seem to register it for your video output
[07:33] <DrPenguin> so its probably not supported
[07:34] <engagendy> #mansoura
[07:35] <skegeek> Impossible. I've used this monitor with 1280x1024 for months on Windows.
[07:35] <engagendy> hello All,
[07:35] <engagendy> it's my first time here in IRC chatting
[07:35] <DrPenguin> skegeek: it could also be a limitation of your driver man, im just reading your log thats all
[07:35] <DrPenguin> and that what its telling me
[07:35] <DrPenguin> engagendy: welcome!
[07:35] <engagendy> DrPenguin thanks
[07:35] <engagendy> i've a question
[07:35] <skegeek> As in, Windows driver can handle it, but Linux driver can't?
[07:36] <engagendy> how can u join rooms
[07:36] <flexible> engagendy: /j #room
[07:36] <engagendy> thanks
[07:36] <engagendy> alot
[07:36] <DrPenguin> skegeek: yeah, pretty much.. just look at the log. under the VGA1 section, the max supported probe res is 1024x768
[07:36] <skegeek> Did you find anything to explain why the system likes to freeze when it sees fit?
[07:37] <DrPenguin> skegeek: nah, but it could be X barfing, no idea, but I dont think its related
[07:38] <wadkar> where do I ask question about Network-Manager , I am on ubuntu 11.04 - updated yesterday
[07:40] <wadkar> Network-manager refuses to connect to my VPN (I installed network-manager-vpnc plugin BTW)
[07:40] <wadkar> it says " state: VPN connecting (need authentication) (2) " and dies with failure
[07:40] <skegeek> Well, if the driver cannot handle it, how come the laptop's built-in LCD can do 1280x800?
[07:41] <DrPenguin> skegeek: different video output
[07:41] <DrPenguin> skegeek: if you look in your Xorg log, LVDS1 can do up to 1280x800 or whatever.. thats your monitor display
[07:41] <skegeek> Then VGA has limitations which LVCD doesn't?
[07:41] <DrPenguin> obviously?
[07:42] <wadkar> DrPenguin: apart from ##networking where should Network-Manager related questions go ?
[07:43] <skegeek> I don't understand why my 15-19" FlatScreen CRT worked at 1280x1024, but this 17" LCD cannot.
[07:44] <DrPenguin> i dunno man, Monitors are a goofy thing
[07:44] <skegeek> The only thing different was the version of Ubuntu.
[07:44] <skpl> is there a way to recover my password in ubuntu?
[07:44] <DrPenguin> you need to rely on the monitor, the EDID probed, the version of X, your X driver, the video output, its a PITA
[07:44] <skegeek> 11.10 is what seems to be a PITA!
[07:45] <DrPenguin> lolduh
[07:46] <skegeek> Unfortunately, I've developed this little habbit of not giving up on challenges - even when I probably should.
[07:47] <DrPenguin> lol… this one youm ight. X jsut sucks
[07:47] <skegeek> Part of why I'm known as a geek I think (aside of the fact I openly admit it).
[07:47] <overclucker> skpl: recovering a password can be time consuming. it's usually best just to reset your password.
[07:47] <jayar> how do i make a startup script to get SMB to run when it restarts
[07:48] <jayar> and mount /media/160gb/
[07:48] <DrPenguin> jayar: there is a startup applications.. thing in ubuntu, I think under preferences or admin, write a shell script and stick it in there
[07:49] <jayar> see how you put "write a shell script" at the end of your sentence...
[07:49] <jayar> what language is that
[07:49] <jayar> tcl? perl?
[07:49] <DrPenguin> jayar: either bourne, bourne again, python, whatever
[07:49] <jayar> is it a conf?
[07:50] <DrPenguin> no.. thats not a shell script
[07:50] <Robban_> Hi there, anyone that know if ther's a driver for Microchips SPI/ethernet chip ENC624J600?
[07:50] <jayar> i never did shell stuff
[07:50] <DrPenguin> jayar: #bash
[07:50] <jayar> i've been on IRC since '97 and my freinds did that stuff... freebsd days "holla"
[07:50] <jayar> mkay
[07:50] <almoxarife> jayar: are you using a real ubuntu install?
[07:50] <jayar> whats a fake ubuntu install?
[07:51] <jayar> im runnin 11.10 server
[07:51] <jayar> i dont have a stick long enough to wake up my friend in chicago for that
[07:52] <wadkar> please help me, my network manager wont connect to my VPN
[07:52] <wadkar> I am not able to do any dev work
[07:52] <wadkar> please help !!!
[07:52] <jayar> beg more, wadkar
[07:53] <wadkar> jayar: lol, I asked my question, nobody noticed, the nagging !!! at least gets a reply
[07:54] <jayar> tis all good wad, this is a good place, if someones on that knows, they'll help you out :)
[07:54] <wadkar> jayar: sometimes I feel that acting like a sufficiently stupid n00b gets you enough help
[07:54] <jayar> hehe
[07:55] <jayar> those that know the answer will hook you up
[07:55] <wadkar> a simple meta-question about network-manager goes unnoticed, at least tell people the right channel , or quit channel idling
[07:55] <jayar> right on
[07:56] <wadkar> !network
[07:56] <wadkar> !network-manager
[07:58] <almoxarife> wadkar: I assume the vpn is up?
[07:58] <wadkar> almostroot: of course, I can connect via " sudo vpnc-connect " , it doesnt play nice with NM
[07:59] <DrPenguin> wadkar: ok…. then you lied about not being able to do your work
[07:59] <almoxarife> wadkar: got you, a vpn connection requires what?
[08:00] <jayar> #bash says thats not a question for them
[08:00] <almoxarife> wadkar: an ip? some sort of user id? pass??? port?,
[08:00] <Uuser> Hi
[08:00] <DrPenguin> jayar: well it aint one for here. you need to learn how to write shell scripts
[08:01] <Kartagis> I have a weird problem. if I'm taking a screenshot and where I am saving it has a file with the same name and I say to replace it, I get the error at http://people.sabanciuniv.edu/mtozses/error.png . any ideas?
[08:02] <Uuser> What is the best window manager to use with AWN? excepting compiz
[08:02] <somsip> !best | Uuser
[08:03] <Kiro> Hi
[08:03] <Kiro> I've installed Ubuntu and now I'd like to install Windows on a different partition to dual boot
[08:04] <Kiro> there's 2 partitions on my hard drive, one is 3gb big...
[08:04] <geirha> jayar: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently
[08:04] <DrPenguin> Kiro: could be a swap pt
[08:04] <Uuser> i want a window manager that work with awn
[08:05] <Kiro> it's a part to reinstall windows
[08:05] <somsip> Uuser: what else do you want the WM to do?
[08:06] <Kiro> so anyway, I don't have any idea of how to do it, I've looked on google and there were only explanations of how to install ubuntu AFTER you installed windows
[08:06] <Kiro> anyone knows a good tutorial ?
[08:06] <DrPenguin> Kiro: arguably, its the same way, the only problem is your gonna need to REINSTALL grub because Windows automatically installs its bootloader to the MBR
[08:06] <Uuser> To work good with awn ,compiz has a lot of problems
[08:07] <Kiro> oh god I don't know what's grub nor a MBR... x)
[08:07] <ssfdre38> how can i make a new partition on my os
[08:07] <DrPenguin> Kiro: grub is a boot loader, the MBR is your master boot record
[08:08] <DrPenguin> ssfdre38: fdisk, cfdisk, gparted, parted, etc etc
[08:08] <somsip> Uuser: anything else?
[08:09] <Uuser> Yes
[08:09] <leah> Question:  I have no cd and no flash drive.  How do i install ubuntu 64 on this machine
[08:09] <DrPenguin> leah: get one or the other?
[08:10] <Uuser> You can use grub-customizer from ubuntu live cd to fix mbr after windows install
[08:10] <leah> DrPenguin, Is there any way i can do it without either  just from the hard drive or something.  create a partisan or something?
[08:10] <Kiro> DrPenguin : https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/dualboot-procedure.html tells me to "Choose Manually edit partition table." during the Ubuntu installation to create multiple partitions... :/
[08:11] <ssfdre38> in fdisk for size is it in mb or kb?
[08:11] <Kiro> but I already have ubuntu D:
[08:11] <DrPenguin> Kiro: *sigh* just get your system setup to install Windows (ie, make an empty partition), install it, then reinstall grub
[08:11] <DrPenguin> its THAT simple
[08:12] <Kiro> but I have 400go of data on my current partition, installing windows will format the drive
[08:12] <DrPenguin> no it wont
[08:12] <somsip> Uuser: maybe this will help http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_X_window_managers
[08:12] <Uuser> After windows install. enter a ubuntu live cd install grub-customize and reinstall grub
[08:13] <Kiro> I just tried, the installer told me WARNING it's going to erase every data on this partition, make a back-up !
[08:14] <Curly_Q> DrPenguin, thanks for the suggestions. I decided to download the latest Ubuntu kernel 11.10  iso and work with that with VBox.
[08:14] <DrPenguin> Kiro: because your not doing your install right
[08:14] <DrPenguin> Curly_Q: no problemo
[08:14] <DrPenguin> Kiro	you obviously want to install windows to a BLANK partition, not your ubuntu 1.. duh
[08:14] <Uuser> g alerey tried that ,i tried xfwm and not work
[08:15] <atvr> hi i need help
[08:15] <Uuser> after install xfwm the graphical effects not work
[08:17] <Uuser> so i want a wwindow manager to replace compiz
[08:17] <ActionParsnip> Uuser: xfwm doesn't support effects
[08:17] <bullgard4> 'man streamripper': "streamripper includes a relay server for listening to the station while you are recording." How can I make Ubuntu 11.10 GNOME Shell 3.2.1 to produce an audible sound of the stream that I am recording at the same time?
[08:17] <somsip> Uuser: all WMs replace compiz. I've tried to ask you what else you want it to do, but you're not clarifying, so I can't help
[08:17] <ActionParsnip> Uuser: kwin can do effects, mutter can too afair
[08:17] <atvr> i am trying to install ubuntu 11.10, when i reach the menu that i have to choose only to try it or instal it, after i press install there alot of comand showing on the screen then the screen goes off, ive tryied installer with the alternative instal but it didnt work
[08:18] <ActionParsnip> atvr: what GPU do you use?
[08:18] <jayar> you send me to #bash, they send me back here
[08:18] <jayar> i'll figure it out
[08:18] <DrPenguin> jayar: learn how to write shell scripts
[08:18] <somsip> jayar: what is it you're tryng to do?
[08:18] <atvr> ActionParsnip: what is GPU i am new to ubuntu
[08:18] <jayar> im on it, Dr
[08:18] <jayar> i taught myself everything else
[08:18] <ActionParsnip> atvr: its not Ubuntu specific, it's your graphics chip
[08:18] <jayar> i jus like IRC cuz you get instant answers
[08:18] <DrPenguin> atvr: why didnt the alternative installer work?
[08:19] <Uuser> Kwim is for kde
[08:19] <ActionParsnip> Uuser: you can use kwin on gnome if you like, not sure if it wil cause issues
[08:19] <atvr> DrPenguin: hi man youve sugest me to try with the alternative installer about one hour ago,
[08:19] <jayar> somsip: get a disk to mount on startup, and SMB to start.. ubuntu 11.10 server
[08:19] <ActionParsnip> Uuser: it's like saying compiz is only for gnome, you can run LXDE and then use compiz as WM instead of openbox
[08:20] <somsip> !fstab | jayar
[08:20] <ActionParsnip> atvr: what video card do you use?
[08:20] <jayar> yea i looked at fstab
[08:20] <atvr> ActionParsnip: how can i know my GPU
[08:20] <ActionParsnip> atvr: does the system have a make and model?
[08:20] <DrPenguin> atvr: yeah, why didnt it work
[08:20] <atvr> ActionParsnip: AMD radeon i think
[08:20] <somsip> jayar: well, that's what does it. Is there some reaoson you need a bash script?
[08:20] <ActionParsnip> atvr: ko then add the boot option: nomodeset    or try: radeon.nomodeset=1
[08:21] <atvr> DrPenguin: it just did the same thing, the screen goes off and there nothing hapening
[08:21] <jayar> so i just put my mount in there... then how do i get SMB to run?
[08:21] <atvr> ActionParsnip: how do i do that lol
[08:21] <Uuser> i want a simple window manager that support graphicall effects like transparency
[08:21] <somsip> jayar: set it up so it works, start it as a service, AFAIR
[08:21] <DrPenguin> atvr: ifyour using the alternative installer.. then the nomodeset thing probably wont work
[08:21] <DrPenguin> because your not even dealing with a graphical thing now, just all text
[08:21] <bottiger> Is there a shell (i can put in my /etc/passwd) which allows people to create a persistant connection to my server without having shell access
[08:22] <atvr> DrPenguin: okay but how the hell i can solve this lol :)
[08:22] <DrPenguin> atvr: cant solve it til we know whats wrong
[08:22] <almoxarife> !info streamtuner2 | bullgard4
[08:22] <jayar> somsip: AFAIR? whats that
[08:22] <somsip> jayar: As far as i rememver
[08:23] <somsip> *remember
[08:23] <atvr> DrPenguin: how can i tell you whats wrong, after i choose install it, there some whit text showing then the screen goes off, and when i choose to only try it, the same hapen, but i here the ubuntu sound playing
[08:23] <ActionParsnip> !bootoptions | atvr
[08:23] <jayar> oh
[08:23] <bullgard4> almoxarife: Your information is not new to me.
[08:24] <jayar> service, no tried that
[08:24] <almoxarife> bullgard4: neither is your question
[08:24] <DrPenguin> atvr: it doesnt make sense that the alternative isntaller does that too when you do install, because its not loading an X server
[08:25] <bullgard4> almoxarife: Your message has an impertinent tone. Try to obey a family-friendly tone here in this channel.
[08:25] <atvr> DrPenguin: what i should do ??

[08:32] <DrPenguin> clean: um.. yeah
[08:32] <clean> DrPenguin: and then set the static route table with the command route ?
[08:32] <DrPenguin> clean: that I dont know, all I know is you need atleast 2

[08:38] <linoge> ActionParsnip: from software center

[08:42] <atvr> ActionParsnip: ive chek the site that youve seed me, but that is not the same version i am trying to install so its not the same setup
[08:42] <cyphase> ActionParsnip, i dont think so, i already checked
[08:43] <ActionParsnip> cyphase: I believe it will need GTK3, so you may have an issue
[08:43] <ActionParsnip> atvr: it's the same boot loader, so the method is identical
[08:44] <mazda01> how do i change the setting for gnome-terminal to allow more history

[08:49] <ThomasBoxley> hi
[08:49] <ThomasBoxley> wow
[08:50] <ThomasBoxley> 5 minutes without a question
[08:52] <Mrokii> hello. Can somebody tell me where Ubuntu saves file-associations (which app opens which files)? The problem I have that for some months now Ubuntu tries to open lots of "files" (including folders) in gedit instead of the proper app.
[08:52] <ThomasBoxley> Mrokii: I can't, but I can tell you a program called Ubuntu Tweak will allow you to easily edit the file associations.
[08:54] <ActionParsnip> Mrokii: I believe it's in ~/.mimetypes
[08:54] <j0bi2> hello good morning
[08:54] <ActionParsnip> Mrokii: if you right click files, you can change file associations there
[08:55] <j0bi2> can i burn the cd iso image to a dvd and install the ubuntu 11.10 to my pc?
[08:55] <Mrokii> ActionParsnip: I tried that (right-clicking), but it didn't help
[08:55] <smurfslover> good morning, anyone who can help me with cd/dvd permissions at boot?
[08:55] <Mrokii> ThomasBoxley: I think I already tried UbuntuTweak as well.
[08:55] <Mrokii> ThomasBoxley: But will have another look.
[08:55] <j0bi2>  can i burn the cd iso image to a dvd and install the ubuntu 11.10 to my pc?
[08:56] <smurfslover> my system always set permissions to 660 at boot then i need to run k3bsetup to change them back to 666 to get my burners working
[08:56] <jayar> how do i edit fstab without gettin into ubuntu?
[08:56] <theadmin> jayar: LiveCD?
[08:56] <j0bi2>  can i burn the cd iso image to a dvd and install the ubuntu 11.10 to my pc?
[08:56] <theadmin> jayar: Just open your Ubuntu drive and edit the file
[08:57] <theadmin> j0bi2: Um, yes, that's what you normally do with them
[08:57] <Mrokii> ThomasBoxley: Nope, UbuntuTweak won't help. The problematic filetypes aren't even mentioned in there.
[08:57] <jayar> i have a ubuntu usb... i just edited fstab to add a drive to load on boot, like you guys said, now it wont boot at all
[08:57] <OY1R> jayar, sudo nano path/to/fstab (from a livecd
[08:57] <OY1R> or USB
[08:58] <j0bi2> theadmin:  i am asking IF the CD ISO in a DVD will work to boot from that and install
[08:58] <jayar> it says "the disk drive for / is no ready yet or not present. Continue to wait or press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery
[08:58] <theadmin> j0bi2: Ah, the DVD part... Yeah, it works with DVDs
[08:59] <DrPenguin> j0bi2: that doesnt matter
[08:59] <DrPenguin> theres no such thing as a "CD" iso
[08:59] <DrPenguin> an isos an iso
[09:00] <Mrokii> ThomasBoxley: Or at least I can't find the association for folders in UbuntuTweak.
[09:00] <theadmin> j0bi2: What (s)he said.
[09:00] <ThomasBoxley> Mrokii: Hold on, I'll screenshot it
[09:01] <j0bi2> Thank you all
[09:01] <j0bi2> for the help

[09:01] <bullgard4> 'man streamripper': "streamripper includes a relay server for listening to the station while you are recording." How can I make Ubuntu 11.10 GNOME Shell 3.2.1 to produce an audible sound of the stream that I am recording at the same time?
[09:03] <Mrokii> ThomasBoxley: That's where I am, and there are lots of filetypes associated with gedit, but none of them sound as if they represent actual folders.
[09:08] <Mrokii> ActionParsnip: I found a file "/etc/mime.types" only, but that isn't helpful either.
[09:09] <almoxarife> Mrokii: what are you trying to do with gedit and mime?
[09:11] <Mrokii> almostroot: My problem is that, for several months now, different files are being opened with gedit instead of the apps they should be opened with. the most problematic of these are the trashcan (when I click on it in Cairo-dock) and regular folders (which I can open from the desktop still. But when I connect a flashcard-reader for example, the folder isn't opened as usual, but in gedit).
[09:12] <harsh343> mysql version check command in ubuntu
[09:12] <harsh343> ?
[09:12] <almoxarife> Mrokii: did you use 'open with gedit' in nautilus in the past in those file types?
[09:12] <ActionParsnip> harsh343: apt-cache policy mysql
[09:12] <Mrokii> almoxarife: Definitely not.
[09:13] <harsh343> ActionParsnip, ok
[09:13] <ActionParsnip> harsh343: or maybe:  mysql --version
[09:13] <Mrokii> almoxarife: For folders I can't even change that association.
[09:13] <harsh343> i got it select version();
[09:13] <harsh343> Thanks
[09:14] <almoxarife> Mrokii: folders associated with 'gedit' does seem hard to do
[09:14] <Mrokii> almoxarife: I don't know why it happened and I was never able to find a solution.
[09:16] <smurfslover> hello, anyone who can help me out with dvd writer permissions at boot?
[09:17] <Abid> hi..what ISO i need to download if I am using AMD thlon..?
[09:17] <ActionParsnip> Mrokii: if you right click, is the app you want listed?
[09:18] <ActionParsnip> Abid: if its 64bit, then grab the amb64 ISO
[09:18] <ActionParsnip> Abid: remember to MD5 test
[09:19] <Abid> ActionParsnip,  it has 64 on sticker . can I use 32 bit for it..? would i386 not work..?
[09:19] <Mrokii> ActionParsnip: if I right-click on a folder I can try "open with file-manager". But then I get an error-requester saying "Failed to execute default File Manager. Failed to execute child process "gedit" (No such file or directory)". That is because I deinstalled gedit out of frustration of that problem.
[09:20] <ActionParsnip> Mrokii: is there not ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list
[09:20] <ActionParsnip> Mrokii: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1519432
[09:20] <ActionParsnip> Abid: you can use both
[09:20] <theadmin> Abid: You can use 32-bit on 64-bit processor, just not vice versa. However, if your processor is 64-bit, 64-bit version is recommended. EOD.
[09:20] <ActionParsnip> Abid: if you have less than 2Gb RAM then I doubt 64Bitness will give you much
[09:21] <smurfslover> Mrokii, check if you have shared-mime-info installed
[09:21] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: Still gives native instruction access, but yeah, true enough
[09:22] <smurfslover> Mrokii, and gnome-mime-data
[09:22] <Abid> ActionParsnip,  I have 1 gb ram , my question is would normal i386 iso work for my pc or i have to download other for AMD if yes any link
[09:22] <ActionParsnip> Abid: yes the i386 will give a 64bit OS with no issues
[09:22] <Mrokii> ActionParsnip: I found the mimeapps.list and there is an entry: "inode/directory=nautilus-folder-handler.desktop".
[09:22] <theadmin> Abid: "i386" stands for 32-bit, "amd64" stands for 64-bit, no matter whether you have Intel or AMD
[09:23] <Mrokii> ActionParsnip: I'll take a look at the thread.
[09:24] <Abid> theadmin,  ok I got it . I thought there were different ISOs for intel and amd . thank you for the info
[09:24] <Mrokii> smurfslover: Shared-mime-info is installed. As is Gnome-mime-data.
[09:24] <theadmin> Abid: In the Linux world, they are called this way pretty much because Intel started the 32-bit architecture, and AMD started the 64-bit one.
[09:25] <Mrokii> smurfslover: But what can I do with these?
[09:26] <Abid> theadmin,  ok but i386 was a processor from intel not mean a general 32 bit one . like i586 was called pentium

[09:47] <sidvee> Any video or audio I play from web or HDD goes to fast forward. Please help.!
[09:48] <davidcalle> th^2, if you have hust installed them, log out and log in. They are started with the session.
[09:48] <davidcalle> just*
[09:48] <th^2> davidcalle, :S

[09:49] <davidcalle> th^2, there is another way, sure :)
[09:49] <Mrokii> so... it seems my problem is that, for whatever reason, gedit is set as the default file manager. Does anybody know how I can change that?
[09:49] <th^2> davidcalle, soo how do i do that?
[09:50] <metaspike> sidvee, that's the craziest thing ive ever heard.
[09:50] <sidvee> And the craziest thing I have ever came across
[09:50] <sidvee> metaspike: and the craziest thing I have ever came across
[09:51] <iceroot> the craziest thing is the amount of shortcuts emacs is offering
[09:51] <metaspike> sidvee, but apparently you are not alone. http://askubuntu.com/questions/85216/videos-songs-and-all-media-playing-in-fast-forward
[09:51] <davidcalle> th^2, first you need to restart Unity (with "setsid unity"), it won't restart your session, just Compiz. Then you have to go to /usr/lib/ and find the folders related to the lenses/scopes you have installed (often named unity-lens-something, unity-scope-something). In these folders, you will find the executables.
[09:52] <th^2> davidcalle, okay thanks :)

[10:05] <billyard> patrunjel: thats not a ubuntu question but Gimp will do that for you
[10:05] <Mrokii> almoxarife: I already did uninstall gedit, but that didn't help.
[10:05] <metaspike> patrunjel, yeah, you could just use gpe-screenshot to capture the image, then gimp to edit it.
[10:06] <Shucky> almoxarife no other idea?
[10:06] <almoxarife> Mrokii: you mentioned cairo-dock?
[10:06] <lalagirl> hi
[10:06] <almoxarife> Shucky: none
[10:06] <Shucky> ok ok :(
[10:07] <Shucky> thx
[10:07] <Mrokii> almoxarife: The strange thing is that nautilus *still* tries to open things with gedit. And yes, I mentioned Cairo-dock, as that is part of the problematic apps. When I try to use folders or the trashcan from it, the system tries to open these in gedit instead of showing them as a folder.
[10:07] <lalagirl> hi
[10:07] <Mrokii> almoxarife: The same happens when I connect a flashcard-reader and the system tries to open the flaschard automatically.

[10:19] <geirha> Mrokii: Ok, any of the other desktop files running gedit? My best guess is that one of the other entries for directories is causing the issue.   grep 'Exec=.*gedit' ~/.local/share/applications/*.desktop
[10:19] <shaihulud> but if you can and kind maybe you could help me
[10:20] <patrunjel> guys, can you please help me make my monitor reddish? (changing the RGB values)

[10:21] <lalagirl> !info libmp4v2
[10:21] <geirha> Mrokii: Odd that you have a local copy of gedit.desktop at all in there though.
[10:21] <metaspike> patrunjel, you can probably change RGB settings with your monitor itself.

[10:24] <Mrokii> geirha: So you think I could delete that file?
[10:24] <RichiH> fwiw, QUICKSTRE is not on the network any more
[10:24] <metaspike> patrunjel, your foray into astronomy is commendable. if you sudo apt-get install compiz compizconfig-settings-manager - you can then in terminal run ccsm, and change your RGB settings with ccsm, i forget how.
[10:24] <froes_> anyone able to install fuppes with mp4 support in oneiric ?
[10:25] <RichiH> what is the dev channel of ubuntu? alternatively, what is the canonical way to get debian packages into ubuntu?
[10:25] <geirha> Mrokii: If you delete it, it will use gedit.desktop from /usr/share/applications/ instead, so yes, it's safe to delete it from your homedir.
[10:26] <patrunjel> metaspike, thanks :)
[10:26] <Mrokii> geirha: Okay. Do I need to restart Nautilus (or Gnome) to make it notice the change?
[10:26] <skpl> can someone help me? i;ve forgotten my password
[10:27] <lalagirl> skpl what password? login password? administrator password?
[10:27] <skpl> login password
[10:27] <lalagirl> skpl http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword
[10:28] <geirha> Mrokii: No, it should pick it up automagically
[10:28] <th^2> howto change "boot order" in grub?
[10:28] <Mrokii> geirha: okay, thanks. Not that it changed anything though.
[10:29] <metaspike> froes_, you can still get it from here. http://code.google.com/p/mp4v2/downloads/detail?name=mp4v2-trunk-r479.tar.bz2 - download, extract, compile, package and install if you -really- need it.
[10:29] <dragonslay> th^2 go to /boot/grub/grub.cfg and reorder the entries
[10:30] <geirha> Mrokii: Well, I'm pretty sure it's something in ~/.local/share/applications causing this. If you move it away, things should work, but that removes all other customizations you've done too.  mv ~/.local/share/applications{,.backup}
[10:30] <geirha> Mrokii: All other customizations regarding which applications open what type of files, that is.
[10:30] <froes_> metaspike, yeah .. as far as i know it is the only one that can stream to xbox360
[10:31] <Mrokii> geirha: Could be worse. Probably worth giving it a try.
[10:31] <froes_> metaspike, i am trying to compile with mp4 support, but oneiric does not have libmp4v2
[10:31] <metaspike> i see... xbmc is a cross portable media center that runs on xbox and linux and is still being supported, maybe have a look there.
[10:31] <th^2> dragonslay, acutally i think im running grub 2
[10:31] <th^2> 1.99
[10:32] <geirha> Mrokii: Oh, and all the wine-launchers too. They all start with wine-* though, so you can copy them back after you've tried.
[10:32] <Mrokii> geirha: wow! That actually did it, thanks! Now I only have to find out what association caused the problem.
[10:32] <dragonslay> th^2 no prob. that is the locationn for grub2 config file
[10:33] <th^2> dragonslay, yes, on that you shouldnt edit...
[10:34] <lalagirl> |\/| /\ |\|
[10:34] <lalagirl> |\/|   /\   |\|
[10:34] <lalagirl> MAN
[10:34] <lalagirl> lol
[10:36] <dragonslay> th^2 this is straight forward but not the right approach, always have a backup.
[10:36] <th^2> dragonslay, actually correct way is to modify /etc/grub.d entries
[10:38] <dragonslay> th^2 if you are fine making all those executable scripts and editing script names . (add few command line work.)
[10:38] <vikas> I'm running 11.10 with Unity. How do I tell nm-applet to reconnect to WiFi automatically? (Currently if there's a power outage, the router reboots and the nm-applet pops up a dialog box with the password filled in and with a "Connect" button for confirmation)
[10:39] <vikas> btw, my home-dir is in a separate partition and I was using Debian before I installed Ubuntu, so I won't be surprised if this is a setting somewhere carried over from Debian in my home-dir
[10:39] <bullgard4> 'man streamripper': "streamripper includes a relay server for listening to the station while you are recording." How can I make Ubuntu 11.10 GNOME Shell 3.2.1 to produce an audible sound of the stream that I am recording at the same time?
[10:39] <makara> I have 2 screens. What plugin in CCSM controls displays? I want to move windows from one to the other using key shortcuts.
[10:40] <th^2> dragonslay, you dont have to write anything new... just change the number in every entry name to what you want, then grub-mkconfig
[10:42] <metaspike> vikas, in that user directory... all your old settings are in folders starting with .   so .q3a or .config whatever, they are prob incompatible. i dunno how nm-applet handles things, but its probably configurable so - man nm-apple - for details eh.
[10:42] <ubuntu> how can i tell if im running on a 64-bit ubuntu or a 32-bit ubuntu?
[10:43] <metaspike> ubuntu - uname -r  - in terminal
[10:44] <vikas> metaspike: thanks!
[10:44] <ubuntu> metaspike: thanks
[10:44] <makara_> hi. Powerspike. Anyone know about multiple displays in ccsm?
[10:46] <almoxarife> bullgard4: perhaps 'streamtuner2' (front end) for streamripper can? it plays while ripper records?
[10:47] <almoxarife> !info streamtuner2 | bullgard4
[10:48] <billyard> chown doesnt work
[10:48] <billyard> chmod doesnt work
[10:50] <bullgard4> almoxarife: Yes, streamtuner2 can. I have tested und proved that. I consider that a workaround.
[10:50] <harsh343> any good editor in ubuntu like dreamweaver ???

[10:51] <insectatorious> harsh343: http://bluefish.openoffice.nl/index.html
[10:51] <almoxarife> bullgard4: you question did not include a 'blacklisted.apps' subsection, would adding one be of help?
[10:52] <bullgard4> no.
[10:52] <dragonslay> harsh343: netbeans
[10:52] <metaspike> billyard, a couple examples. from terminal.  chmod +x ./runthis.sh  (make runthis executable) or chown -hR billyard:billyard ./thisdir/ (give billyard user and exclusive group privlillages to thisdir)  also... Steve Who?
[10:52] <almoxarife> bullgard4: I fear you may continue to get the same response :)
[10:53] <geirha> harsh343: Open the software center (shopping bag icon) and search for "html editor"
[10:53] <dragonslay> harsh343: even gedit has some syntax highligting.
[10:54] <metaspike> geany is a pretty good intermediate programming tool.
[10:55] <harsh343> dragonslay, yes I am using netbeans, Geany, gedit but how to see the design view in that ?
[10:56] <harsh343> insectatorious, design view ?
[10:56] <folsto> How to check whether ubuntu is running sysvinit or upstart? "locate sysvinit" "locate upstart"  shows both exist/
[10:57] <insectatorious> harsh343: doesn't have one im afraid...they expect you to do it all by hand...
[10:57] <metaspike> isn't sysvinit mandatory? i guess you could see what dpkg says is installed at least... dpkg-query -l | grep upstart -  etc
[10:57] <almoxarife> !info Kompozer
[10:58] <harsh343> insectatorious, ok thanks
[10:58] <mazda01> how do i change the setting for gnome-terminal to allow more history
[10:58] <insectatorious> harsh343: if you desperately want a WYSISYG editor, this might be of interest - http://webdesign.about.com/od/htmleditors/tp/aatpwyslinux.htm
[10:59] <folsto> metaspike: It says no such file or directory. But I can see there are lots of  .conf files in /etc/init which I assume is the upstart directory.
[11:00] <mazda01> lol, such a funny Q because someone answered but now I can't scroll far enough back in xchat to see it.
[11:00] <metaspike> mazda01, in terminal...   gedit ~/.bashrc  - in there you want HISTSIZE=<num> and HISTFILESIZE=<num>  - where <num> means number of lines to remember as such, learn something about bash enviroment variables
[11:01] <metaspike> although gnome terminal probably has some preferences thing for it lol dunno
[11:02] <mazda01> metaspike, thanks, i am testing out lxterminal. much smaller RAM footprint
[11:02] <folsto> does that mean both sysvinit and upstart run at startup. If not how can I check which one is being used currecntly?
[11:02] <harsh343> ok thanks again insectatorious
[11:02] <insectatorious> harsh343: no worries
[11:03] <makara_> mazda01: I think you mean the scrolling history. Go to profile preferences > Scrolling > Unlimited
[11:05] <mazda01> makara_, yeap, i got it. thanks guys

[11:12] <trsi2> i like it, when i don't have command im getting message you can apt-get it :)
[11:12] <metaspike> Tiago666,  what does -  lspci | grep VGA -  tell you?
[11:12] <ArchangelSe7en> I see you're not there OerHeks

[11:13] <pacos721> hello
[11:13] <Tiago666> vmangudi`work, I have installed the fglrx drivers
[11:13] <TheLastBaron> Hi guys
[11:14] <Tiago666> metaspike, any information you need, I can provide
[11:14] <metaspike> gratis
[11:14] <billyard> says changing permissions of /etc/: read-only file system

[11:15] <TheLastBaron> Use system monitor ?
[11:15] <Tiago666> darkowlzz, true
[11:15] <andyn> billyard: you need to remount the FS read-write, try the mount command with flags -o remount,rw
[11:16] <Tiago666> I think I am going back to Arch
[11:16] <Tiago666> there I can install the video drivers with no hassle
[11:16] <TheLastBaron> I actually have an old Toshiba Atrium ( i think it's called ) I'm gonna try to put Gentoo onto it
[11:16] <TheLastBaron> This one I will keep on ubuntu though
[11:16] <metaspike> Tiago666, in terminal - sudo aticonfig --initial
[11:17] <TheLastBaron> Although, I am such a n00b you will scream RTFM @me every single time I ask a question here
[11:17] <Tiago666> metaspike, ok, 1 second
[11:17] <darkowlzz> Tiago666, any alternative for c+a+backspace?
[11:17] <metaspike> Tiago666, then sudo service gdm reboot   (it will restart your X serssion

[11:19] <Tiago666> metaspike, any clues?
[11:19] <TheLastBaron> I just had mine actually it was great
[11:19] <TheLastBaron> I read something about .. ehrm, aticonfig, right ?
[11:19] <metaspike> Tiago666, yeah, rebooot, pray it works.
[11:20] <Tiago666> well
[11:20] <Tiago666> gonna restart
[11:20] <Tiago666> lets see
[11:20] <metaspike> lets indeed
[11:20] <TheLastBaron> *crossing fingers !*
[11:20] <TheLastBaron> So ehrm.. Metaspike, are you familiar with like, Wine and stuff ?
[11:21] <iinga> who isn't familiar with wine ;-)
[11:21] <metaspike> sure, why's that bro?
[11:21] <TheLastBaron> Sadly, I am not ..
[11:21] <opalepatrick_> suer this has been asked. How to stop nasty orange semi transparent overlay when changing workspaces.... sometimes. Just stays until I maximise something and then revert.

[11:21] <Tiago666> None of the commands worked
[11:21] <TheLastBaron> I just started out basically, bought a book about ubuntu/debian/linux .. and so on and so forth
[11:21] <Tiago666> metaspike, the command didnt restart the X

[11:23] <g0to> I just created/formated a new partition on my hard disk but I can't write on it
[11:23] <metaspike> Tiago666, well. just reboot the computer then.
[11:23] <g0to> how can I change the partition permissions?
[11:23] <metaspike> "sudo reboot"
[11:23] <new2linx> is there an ubuntu irc channel for legal usage of ubuntu logo etc etc
[11:23] <TheLastBaron> now new2linx, u could try out asking in the forums
[11:23] <new2linx> and for making money by installing and admin'ing an ubuntu server?
[11:23] <TheLastBaron> no*
[11:24] <new2linx> ok, thanks
[11:24] <TheLastBaron> Don't think that's legal actually .. Or at least not parts of what you're wanting to achieve
[11:24] <iceroot> new2linx: for the second you dont need to ask someone
[11:24] <Sidewinder1> !who
[11:24] <iceroot> new2linx: for the first, there is a licence for the usage of the logo
[11:24] <new2linx> i'll just have to read canical's website
[11:24] <metaspike> g0to, in fstab... something like - /dev/sda1	/media/store	ext3	rw,user,auto
[11:24] <metaspike> sudo gedit /etc/fstab - that is
[11:24] <new2linx> iceroot, oh, and you think it's legal for me to sell ubuntu and adminitster legally?
[11:24] <iceroot> new2linx: of course
[11:25] <new2linx> SELL F.O.S.S. really?
[11:25] <iceroot> new2linx: you can of course sell ubuntu
[11:25] <opalepatrick_> ok see it is posted as a bug
[11:25] <new2linx> and you're absolutely positive?
[11:25] <new2linx> sorry i am off-topic guys
[11:25] <ahmrahtcheer> howdy y'all!  I just bought a Samsung  Series 3 computer that's only been on the market a couple of months.  Want to install Ubuntu 11.1, but when i attempt to run the LiveCD, the screen goes dead (not blank, dead) after about 30 seconds.  How can I pass nomodeset to the boot line?
[11:25] <metaspike> new2linx, you can sell it in the sense that you are selling your service to install it, or your service to provide it on the disk, but it in itself must remain free.
[11:25] <g0to> metaspike: there is no information about that partition (sda3) on /etc/fstab
[11:25] <iceroot> new2linx: the one you are not allowed to do is so remaster ubuntu to something else and sell it as "ubuntu"
[11:26] <new2linx> ok, check guys. thanks!
[11:26] <iceroot> new2linx: but the normal ubuntu versions you can sell as many as you want to any price
[11:26] <TheLastBaron> So one could actually take like .. the linux kernel, or a debian-oriented release, and make money off of it ?
[11:26] <Sidewinder1> new2linx, I believe iceroot is correct; also look at as more selling your admin. services..
[11:26] <metaspike> new2linx, and be advertised as free...
[11:26] <new2linx> ahmrahtcheer, do you even get to a screen which has an option to run in safe graphics mode?
[11:27] <iceroot> new2linx: but!! if you sell ubuntu you have to grant access to the sources
[11:27] <dragonslay> iceroot: people can sell linux .. read the GPL
[11:27] <metaspike> but your "service" as it where, well, charge what you like
[11:27] <new2linx> iceroot, of course
[11:27] <iceroot> new2linx: but the sources are public so you dont have to do anything aditional
[11:27] <TheLastBaron> sudo apt-get install irssi irssi-scripts screen openssh-server
[11:27] <iceroot> dragonslay: and what is your point? that is what i am saying
[11:27] <new2linx> sounds good, guess i'll pull that trigger on $130 and start my LLC then
[11:27] <new2linx> :-)
[11:27] <ahmrahtcheer> TheLastBaron, you can't really make money off of any Linux distribution or variation thereof.  What RedHat, SUSE and others do is sell service contracts.
[11:27] <g0to> metaspike: this is my /etc/fstab http://pastebin.com/n5XahWvE
[11:27] <dragonslay> iceroot: sorry, mistook
[11:27] <new2linx> i'd say the name of my business but i didn't reserver the name yet. :-)
[11:28] <ahmrahtcheer> but you can download the source code for RH, SUSE, etc., and compile it yourself, thus getting a free copy.
[11:28] <TheLastBaron> !amrahtcheer Ok, then I get it

[11:28] <new2linx> ahmrahtcheer, so immediately you hear the cd spin up and the screen goes black?
[11:28] <Kull> oops
[11:29] <iceroot> new2linx: but the better idea would be to provide ubuntu as free (as in free beer) and give payed support
[11:29] <new2linx> iceroot, correct sir. :-)
[11:29] <Kull> I have a bunch of .lrf files that I want to open with "ebook-viewer" through nautilus.  When I try to change the default application, I have a list of applications but  absolutely no visible way to manually enter an application name.  Since the application I want to use isn't in the list, I'm basically stuck with no clue how to fix this seemingly trivial thing.   How do I MANUALLY add an application to the

[11:29] <TheLastBaron> Eehrm.. tried it through root ? (
[11:29] <iceroot> new2linx: or what would be very interesting for us "sell hardware with preinstalled ubuntu"

[11:30] <metaspike> g0to,    it looks like you need to fsck...   sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo reboot    - make fsck entry and reboot

[11:32] <g0to> metaspike: I just followed this (http://amazingrando.wordpress.com/2007/04/05/changing-permissions-of-a-partition-its-easy/)
[11:32] <g0to> metaspike: and it worked :)
[11:32] <new2linx> iceroot, that's the end goal. i am trying to locate a smaller tech company that already has connection with major hardware vendors. :-)
[11:32] <g0to> metaspike: thanks anyway, Sir ;)
[11:32] <new2linx> lets just say 2012 is a NEW YEAR. lol
[11:33] <ahmrahtcheer> the other distros i've tried are all older kernels (2.6.37 & earlier), and the wireless I have is supposedly supported in 2.6.39 and later.
[11:33] <metaspike> g0to, errors=remount-ro 0 - in your fstab suggests there is a serious error in your parition that needs to be fixed, if you want to follow old tutorials on a whim then go ahead.
[11:33] <new2linx> I have goals and ambitions both personally and professionally. Personal is making the name "ubuntuaddicted" go VIRAL. Check googles new search, www.wdyl.com  and then enter my handle "ubuntuaddicted" w/out the quotes. :)

[11:34] <TheLastBaron> Has anyone here tried Gentoo ?
[11:35] <new2linx> iceroot, buwahahaaaaaaaaaa

[11:35]  * TheLastBaron goes brb
[11:36] <ahmrahtcheer> TheLastBaron:  I was...unimpressed with later versions of Gentoo.  Earlier, stage 1 install versions could be made so wicked fast they'd smoke the pixels right off your screen, but later stage 3 versions are slooow.
[11:39] <ahmrahtcheer> TheLastBaron, if you've the time to diddle with a source-based distro, check out Crux Linux.  It's very lightweight, but is an expert's distro.  There's no dependency checking when installing software, so you really, REALLY have to know your linux & be willing to spend 40 or more hours getting it compiled and a WM or DE & basic apps up and running.
[11:39] <ahmrahtcheer> and it blows the doors off any other source-based distro out there.  Arch Linux is derived from it.
[11:40]  * Wonderhoof blows the doors off ahmrahtcheer
[11:40] <ahmrahtcheer> however, i've changed employment & no longer have time to fiddle with tweaking source distros.  Ubuntu's what i prefer these days.

[11:43] <iceroot> Kull: what was not clear about that?
[11:43] <Kull> It makes no sense.  It is a run on sentence that makes no sense.
[11:43] <sinosoidal_> Kull: sorry. let me try again! :)
[11:44] <iceroot> Kull: just for you, i guess, for me it is clear what he wants
[11:44] <new2linx> iceroot, check my blog  http://ubuntuaddicted.blogspot.com/  or check my Google+ Ubuntu ubuAddicted  or my youtube channel UbuntuAddicted
[11:44] <new2linx> 2012 will be my year. lol
[11:44] <iceroot> sinosoidal_: the normal specifications can be found in the debhelper-documentation. there are also additional fields which are (imo) ubuntu-specific like "support" and "images"
[11:44] <Kull> "Point me a place" "full specification for a debian package appear correctly"... makes no sense.
[11:44] <new2linx> iceroot, confident, not arrogant. lol
[11:45] <Kull> Maybe you both speak a pidgen English.
[11:45] <sinosoidal_> Kull: I have already a debian package for something i'm building. the questions is. how can I find the specification about image, description, icon, etc is it in the same place as the debian package specification or it has it's own rules?
[11:45] <iceroot> sinosoidal_: own rules because they are ubuntu-specific
[11:45] <sinosoidal_> Kull: i'm not a native english speaker. sorry.
[11:46] <Kull> sinosoidal_: do not apologize, I do not speak your native tongue.
[11:46] <iceroot> sinosoidal_: but they should be found in the debhelper-manpage from ubuntu
[11:47] <iceroot> sinosoidal_: imo debian is not using images yet, maybe have also a look at #ubuntu-devel and #debian (to see the current state)
[11:49] <sinosoidal_> Kull: thank you my kind fellow for your comprehension
[11:49] <new2linx> dang, sorry to ahmrahtcheer. i may have been able to point in the right direction regarding your graphics issue when trying to use livecd of 11.10
[11:49] <hroi> hi
[11:49] <sinosoidal_> iceroot: really thanks for your help
[11:49] <hroi> how do I use top, to bring up the processes that use most memory?
[11:50] <Sidewinder1> sudo top?
[11:50] <hroi> it seems that those processes are not on top right now, maybe just the cpu top are
[11:50] <TheLastBaron> Ehrm.. can't you just check that through the system monitor ?
[11:50] <hroi> TheLastBaron: no sorry on a server
[11:51] <hroi> perhaps there are some specific tools that I can use for running my software, that in the end reports the usage?
[11:52] <TheLastBaron> Please guys excuse me, But I just installed irssi and I'm a tad confused over here, How do you make the "Dedicated answer"/Yellow-answer-thingy now again ? .. Ubottu kinda got lost and slashHelp is only for certain commands, I don't even know what command to use.. not even Google helped me out effeciantly enough
[11:52] <metaspike> sinosoidal_, i often think the best linux answers are given in a commandline form. so try this.   apt-cache show <packagename> for the details of a package, or sudo apt-get install packagesearch   and run packagesearch from terminal to search for packages and get descriptions using the proper debtags method. ultimately, though, you'll never know whats happening between debian and ubuntu unless your a developer or package maintainer or su
[11:52] <Gentoo64> TheLastBaron: irssi is worth joining
[11:53] <TheLastBaron> Thank you Gentoo64 .. How do I answer anyone in private," Adress someone" without making it public ?
[11:54] <Gentoo64>  /query nick
[11:54] <metaspike> TheLastBaron,   /msg someone hey how you doing
[11:55] <VyasKadkol> join #cisco
[11:55] <TheLastBaron> so .. Now that I'm in msg .. how do I leave, because I have not learned about opening more windows yet
[11:55] <TheLastBaron> Hahaha Thanks :D
[11:55] <Sidewinder1> VyasKadkol, You need to preceed with /
[11:56] <VyasKadkol> Sidewinder1:  tnks . . .it was a mistype . . .:P
[11:56] <Sidewinder1> :D
[11:56] <TheLastBaron> I have actually been around some, done some Dolphin-programming and HTML .. But I never really got the kick I needed to finally quit Windows and start using Linux u kow
[11:56] <jiltdil> is 11.10 is now bug free?
[11:56] <TheLastBaron> know*
[11:56] <Gentoo64> TheLastBaron: /window close
[11:56] <Gentoo64> works
[11:56] <metaspike> jiltdil, most certainley, no
[11:57] <dragonslay> no sotware is 100% bug free
[11:57] <szal> jiltdil: there is no such thing as bug-free software (w/ the notable exception of (the original) TeX perhaps)
[11:57] <g_> Hi all, after resuming from suspend on 11.10, the Unity dock on the left is graphically corrupted. It can be fixed by moving the mouse or a window over it, which refreshes the dock graphics. Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks.
[11:57] <sinosoidal_> metaspike: thx. I'll try that! ;)
[11:57] <jiltdil> szal, my mean to say is it working properly like 10.x series
[11:58] <szal> jiltdil: define 'working properly'
[11:58] <jiltdil> szal, stable
[11:59] <g_> Or atleast, is there a way I can run a script as user automatically after resume? Because /etc/pm/sleep.d scripts are executed as root and before the gui stuff is loaded..
[12:00] <metaspike> g_ ... maybe if you refreshed somehow compiz on unsuspend. this is a glitch typically associated with proporeitory drivers?
[12:00] <metaspike> i have a question :) how do I get espeak or mbrola to say everything that comes through a irc client of some kind :)
[12:00] <g_> metaspike, Possibly; I am using the restricted nVidia drivers, but I'm trying to figure out a way to automatically run a script on resume
[12:00] <TheLastBaron> wow.. compiz, I actually did End Process on that one because I thought it was associated with Wine a couple of days ago
[12:01] <g_> Google isn't of much help as it keeps pointing me to /etc/pm/sleep.d ...
[12:01] <g_> Of course, the other option is to run Unity 2D
[12:02] <g_> which I don't mind, but it's actually slower than regular Unity on my PC..
[12:02] <TheLastBaron> How come ?
[12:02] <g_> Possibly my GPU is more powerful than my CPU
[12:02] <TheLastBaron> Have u tried another distro ?
[12:02] <szal> jiltdil: other than the occasional oddity regarding KDE window behaviour, I currently have no issues that I know of w/ 11.10
[12:03] <g_> TheLastBaron, of course it wont affect other distros.. this is a Unity bug..
[12:03] <metaspike> g_, google is becoming less helpful by the day... hmm. if you can find a command that fixes the glitch, theoritcally you coudl have that run everytime you unsuspend. say compiz --replace ... i use pm-utils for such functionality, well documented under "man pm-utils"
[12:03] <g_> or Unity + nVidia bug..
[12:04] <g_> metaspike, thanks, will look into pm-utils
[12:04] <jiltdil> how to install gnome 2 in ubuntu 11.10
[12:05] <g_> jiltdil, you cant; lookup MATE and how to install it in Ubuntu
[12:05] <metaspike> jiltdil, there exists "Mate Desktop" its not in the repos though: http://www.addictivetips.com/ubuntu-linux-tips/install-linux-mint-mate-desktop-in-ubuntu-11-10/
[12:05] <captainjamie> is there a room for developing gtk applications?
[12:06] <metaspike> yet.. it really should be though.. <hello... developers?> :)
[12:07] <jiltdil> Metaspike,g_: thanks a lot
[12:07] <venkatmangudi> jiltdil: you cannot isntall Gnome 2
[12:07] <venkatmangudi> g_:so MATE is good then?
[12:07] <TheLastBaron> no its inherit for the new ubuntureleases ofc
[12:08] <TheLastBaron> But if you dislike gnome 3 you could try other *buntus ..
[12:09] <ActionParsnip> xubuntu smells and feels like gnome2
[12:09] <venkatmangudi> yep, xubuntu is what I have preferred to use
[12:10] <ActionParsnip> you can install xfce4, log off, log into xfce session and use all your gnome apps there
[12:10] <TheLastBaron> Just out of curiosity, is there a command for like, hiding who joins and leaves in irssi ?
[12:10] <pksadiq> /ignore * +parts +quits +joins
[12:10] <TheLastBaron> Thank you :)
[12:10] <venkatmangudi> ActionParsnip: so xfce4 is better than xubuntu?
[12:11] <Sidewinder1> !better
[12:11] <TheLastBaron> I think that just .. installing and using Xubuntu is alot easier
[12:11] <ActionParsnip> venkatmangudi: its the same difference
[12:12] <ActionParsnip> TheLastBaron: here is my config http://paste.ubuntu.com/786733/
[12:12] <ActionParsnip> venkatmangudi: xubuntu is just ubuntu but using xfce and lighter apps than default, you can install just the DE and log into it, you do not have to install xubuntu clean
[12:13] <ActionParsnip> venkatmangudi: what is under the bonnet is identical
[12:14] <venkatmangudi> ActionParsnip: makes sense. Thank you.
[12:14] <ubuntu> HI
[12:14]  * Sidewinder1 Always wanted to say "HI", to ubuntu. :-)
[12:14] <metaspike> kiora
[12:15] <L1nuxRules> xfce atint the best desktop to use if you need to ask those questions though
[12:15] <ActionParsnip> there is no best desktop
[12:15] <metaspike> a maximised terminal is the best desktop imho
[12:15] <L1nuxRules> wasnt saying best as in the best was saying its not user friendly like gnome
[12:16] <ActionParsnip> LinuxRants: I gues but if the look and feel of gnome2 is desired then its not a bad choice :)
[12:16] <ubuntu> what the hell is dis...
[12:16] <L1nuxRules> ActionTurnip maybe
[12:17] <buyung> test
[12:17] <buyung> hello
[12:18] <cooperate145> how can i disable ssh agent at start up pls?
[12:18] <ActionParsnip> !test | buyung
[12:18] <cooperate145> i want to completely disable the ssh agent..
[12:18] <Sidewinder1> buyung, Mornin'.
[12:18] <L1nuxRules> I would say xfce is the best to go for the way the other DE are going though, have never liked kde
[12:18] <ActionParsnip> cooperate145: but do you want it installed?
[12:18] <ActionParsnip> L1nuxRules: I like LXDE personally, no nonsense
[12:19] <cooperate145> not really, but its listening when i check the connections, so i would like it to be disabled..
[12:19] <ActionParsnip> cooperate145: could just uninstall openssh-server and it will be gone
[12:20] <cooperate145> how do i do that :P
[12:20] <ActionParsnip> cooperate145: sudo apt-get --purge remove openssh-server
[12:20] <cooperate145> Package openssh-server is not installed, so not removed
[12:20] <ActionParsnip> L1nuxRules: there are plenty of DEs to go at, more than XFCE, KDE and Gnome
[12:21] <L1nuxRules> Ive never used LXDE but it does look good , on the todo list
[12:21] <ActionParsnip> cooperate145: then there is no SSH server listening
[12:21] <cooperate145> STREAM     LISTENING     7231     /tmp/ssh-HspEkO1423/agent.1423
[12:21] <cooperate145> what is that
[12:22] <L1nuxRules> ActionParsnip yeah Ive usually used tty1 for most things though apart from if a gui is needed :)
[12:22] <ActionParsnip> L1nuxRules: similar, I just use guake
[12:23] <L1nuxRules> guake yeah Ive used that but find yakuake has alot more features
[12:24] <Guest87522> hello
[12:25] <Guest87522> need some help
[12:25] <Sidewinder1> !ask | Guest87522
[12:25]  * venkatmangudi is away: I'm kinda busy. Back soon.
[12:26] <x3no> hello
[12:26] <Guest87522> I am having trouble removing ubuntu 11.10 from my compaq presario cq61 and installing windows xp
[12:26] <L1nuxRules> cooperate145> if you want to disable ssh servive sshd stop then chkconfig sshd off
[12:27] <ActionParsnip> Guest87522: so you want rid of ubuntu? How did you install ubuntu?
[12:27] <L1nuxRules> service*
[12:27] <Guest87522> cd installation, will be sad to see it go but windows has better support for the programmes I run
[12:27] <Myrtti> venkatmangudi: please turn that script off
[12:27] <libnotify> was sshing into my machine remotely yesterday but now i get an error :permission denied(public key)
[12:28] <ActionParsnip> Guest87522: then use the install CD to remove the partitions you made, its part of the XP installation process
[12:28] <x3no> please help, how to set an .xml file as a desktop background in ubuntu 11.10?
[12:28] <L1nuxRules> libnotify you disabled password login?
[12:28] <Guest87522> I don't have the cd with me
[12:28] <libnotify> yes i did
[12:29] <Sidewinder1> Guest87522, Just boot the XP installation CD, once you retrieve it and do as ActionParsnip said..
[12:29] <L1nuxRules> libnotify then your key hasnt been installed on the server or you dont have the key in .ssh/
[12:29] <ActionParsnip> Guest87522: then how do you intend to install XP without the XP CD?
[12:29] <Guest87522> I have the xp installation cd not the ubuntu one. When I boot from the xp cd I just get a black screen
[12:29] <ActionParsnip> libnotify: did you recently reinstall the server?
[12:30] <libnotify> i din't do any reinstall
[12:30] <ActionParsnip> Guest87522: you don't need the ubuntu one, the partitions are standard so the XP CD can remove them
[12:30] <Guest87522> ActionParsnip, when I boot from the xp cd I get nothing but a black screen
[12:31] <ActionParsnip> Guest87522: I suggest you ask in ##windows for taht
[12:31] <L1nuxRules> thats just windows booting lol
[12:31] <Sidewinder1> Heh,.
[12:31] <Guest87522> it stays black for at least 10 minutes, not let it go beyond that yet
[12:32] <ActionParsnip> Guest87522: windows isn't supported here, your windows CD boot issue will be helped in ##windows
[12:32] <L1nuxRules> windows is slow to boot but yea 10 mins, its hung
[12:32] <libnotify> ActionParsnip: what could i double check?
[12:33] <ActionParsnip> libnotify: try renaming ~/.ssh on the client
[12:33] <libnotify> ah... have to travel back then
[12:33] <L1nuxRules> libnotify your locked out unless you added the key to the server....
[12:34] <llutz_> libnotify: use ssh -vvv user@host   to get more verbose errors
[12:35] <L1nuxRules> the public kety that is not your private
[12:35] <Guest87522> how do I stop it from hanging linuxrules?
[12:36] <L1nuxRules> guest87522 Its windows so aint got a clue but a tip dont use windows apart from gaming as its crap
[12:36] <ActionParsnip> libnotify: why travel back, the client is the system you are connecting with, not the one you are connecting to.
[12:36] <Guest87522> It might well be crap for most things but one thing windows trumps ubuntu on is audio
[12:37] <ActionParsnip> Guest87522: i dunno a lot of people are mixing on open source now
[12:37] <Guest87522> not when you have serato
[12:37] <Guest87522> the support just isn't there for it
[12:37] <ActionParsnip> Guest87522: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/12/italian-rock-band-release-album-recorded-using-ubuntu/
[12:38] <libnotify> http://pastebin.com/FTyCdxkn
[12:38] <L1nuxRules> I know a few music producers , I dont know why but macs do a good jod apparantley wether its because its *nix or the hardware I dont know
[12:39] <L1nuxRules> job*
[12:39] <libnotify> its the hardware
[12:39] <Guest87522> I have made music on ubuntu! my newes souncloud account has tracks made entirely in ubuntu but, some of my hardware is incompatible
[12:40] <libnotify> well nothing i can do other than go to the server physically and do some changes...
[12:41] <L1nuxRules> libnotify no unless you added your public key to the server you wont be able to authenticate using keys
[12:41] <ActionParsnip> libnotify: did the rename help?
[12:41] <libnotify> i am far from the server
[12:41] <Edward2> !sound
[12:41] <lluvia> I'm having problem with ubi-partman https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/527848
[12:42] <ActionParsnip> lluvia: is it fully updated?
[12:42] <L1nuxRules> libnotify speak to your tech support ask them to reanable password logins then upload the public key using scp or whatever
[12:42] <llutz_> libnotify: ls -la ~/.ssh              are there any keys at all?
[12:43] <lluvia> I'm installing a fresh installation
[12:43] <ActionParsnip> lluvia: you can stil upgrade the app
[12:43] <lluvia> there is some kind of text-mode installation that don't use ubi-partman?
[12:43] <lluvia> ActionParsnip: how?
[12:44] <L1nuxRules> llutz he will have the private key (I assume it was generated on that box) but the public wont have been added to the server
[12:44] <ActionParsnip> lluvia: same as an installed system, there is no difference except the OS runs in RAM
[12:44] <ActionParsnip> lluvia: why use Lucid?
[12:44] <tonk> im geting some error on boot befor the comp enter ubuntu somthing with bios forcesomthing annywer i can read log ? it disapears to fast
[12:45] <lluvia> it was the iso I had nearly
[12:45] <milo_> hey, anybody know how i can format my hard drive ntsf? I can't download any software packages on kde and it's acting all buggy. Won't let me partion hard drive
[12:45] <L1nuxRules> Lucid is LTS you want more Debian style but with a diff best thing to use
[12:45] <ActionParsnip> lluvia: gotcha, ko just run:  sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install ubiquity
[12:46] <ActionParsnip> L1nuxRules: it's EOL at the same time as Oneiric...
[12:46] <L1nuxRules> ActionParsnip so all the packages on an LTs are the same as the latest?
[12:47] <ActionParsnip> L1nuxRules: will be slightly different, Oneiric will have later stuff
[12:47] <L1nuxRules> ActionParsnip As I come from Red Hat based I see LTS as CentOs and the latest as Fedora but only ever used LTS
[12:48] <Guest87522> ok guys, you can't directly help with my problem but the windows lot are useless.  anyone any good with gparted?
[12:48] <metaspike> if you want debian style use debian  v_v
[12:48] <L1nuxRules> metaspike true but I did say with a diff
[12:48] <makara> hi. Are there any key bindings in CCSM to move windows between displays, or any plugins to do with displays?
[12:48] <clean> tonk: I think those info had not written to log files
[12:48] <ActionParsnip> Guest87522: sure, you can delete the partitions there as long as they are not mounted
[12:49] <clean> metaspike: aggree :)
[12:49] <clean> Guest87522: what's your problem ?
[12:50] <Guest87522> I have one partition /dev/sda1 it is mounted
[12:50] <Sidewinder1> Guest87522, But even after deletion/repartitioning to NTFS, you may have a 'dead-box', if the Win XP, CD hangs.. :-(
[12:50] <clean> Guest87522: and then ? you want to repartition it ?
[12:51] <L1nuxRules> guest87522 you have to unmount a part before modifying it
[12:51] <ActionParsnip> makara: win+alt+F1|F2 etc
[12:51] <clean> Guest87522: sudo umount /dev/sda1
[12:51] <ActionParsnip> Guest87522: gparted can also unmount partitions if you right click them
[12:52] <clean> GParted is very easy to use
[12:52] <Guest87522> looks like i'm stuck with ubuntu
[12:52] <Guest87522> it won't unmount it
[12:52] <Sidewinder1> I can think of worse things..
[12:52] <ActionParsnip> Guest87522: are you booting to liveCD or liveUSB?
[12:53] <clean> Guest87522: is any process using it ? close them
[12:53] <L1nuxRules> its your booted enviroment thats why use gpated live cd
[12:53] <clean> Guest87522: close GParted first, close all open windows first
[12:53] <ActionParsnip> Guest87522: make sure you are manipulating the right device, not the live usb
[12:53] <clean> Guest87522: and then: sudo umount /dev/sda1
[12:54] <Guest87522> I have gparted installed but not on a cd or usb
[12:54] <ActionParsnip> clean: might not be sda1 ;)
[12:54] <Guest87522> it is
[12:54] <clean> ActionParsnip: he said sda1
[12:54] <ActionParsnip> Guest87522: its part of the standard live environment
[12:54] <ActionParsnip> Guest87522: if you run:  sudo fdisk -l     you will see all partitions, you can now verify your internal drive is /dev/sda
[12:55] <clean> Guest87522: so you have install gparted in your system, not from the live cd ?
[12:55] <L1nuxRules> hes using gpated in the OS not live
[12:55] <Guest87522> installed throuhg software center
[12:55] <clean> Guest87522: paste the result of: mount -l
[12:55] <milo_> Yeah, I've been trying to unmount my hard drive to partition it, nothing doing. I shut down the tasks running in lsof but they just boot up again!
[12:55] <L1nuxRules> gparted*
[12:56] <makara> ActionParsnip: what's meant to happen? those keys weren't assigned
[12:56] <mutante> if new files appear in /etc/update-motd.d/ when are they added to /etc/motd? and how to trigger an update
[12:56] <clean> milo_: mount -l
[12:56] <Sidewinder1> Guest87522, Then why not download ubuntu; md5sum the ISO, prior to burning a Live CD and boot that to repartition your unmounted sda1?
[12:57] <L1nuxRules> mutante motd will display on next login
[12:57] <ActionParsnip> makara: move the active window to desktop 1, 2, 3 etc
[12:57] <solofight> people i wanted to create a rsa key for a different user. currently logged in as root - so created one user, did a su to that user and then hit ssh-keygen -t rsa and created public and private keys And i restarted the ssh. now when i try to login to system with the new username and key putty says no supported authentication methods available. any idea how to debug ?

[12:57] <solofight> * added the new key in authorisedkeys of ssh as well
[12:57] <milo_> ok, typed mount -l
[12:57] <ActionParsnip> L1nuxRules: i see
[12:57] <mutante> L1nuxRules: thanks, too easy:)
[12:57] <clean> It's better to repartition your harddisk from live cd, but it's also possilbe without livecd
[12:58] <ActionParsnip> Guest87522: you need the live cd, you cannot format the data used to run the OS, think about it
[12:58] <makara> ActionParsnip: I can move between desktops but not between displays
[12:58] <ActionParsnip> makara: ive not used dual head, sorry
[12:58] <milo_> how do I get liveCD? My vista cd won't do it (xp used to) and my burning software won't work, and muon software center is having problems too. I don't see why people say linux is better. I can never get anything to work.
[12:59] <Sidewinder1> Guest87522, I still think, even after repartitioning you're still going to run into problems if your Win install disk still hangs..

[12:59] <Dmole> anyone know how to set a GECOS with Irssi?
[12:59] <clean> milo_: my pleasure :)
[12:59] <L1nuxRules> solofight sounds like you havent enabled rsa auth in your sshd
[13:00] <clean> solofight: ssh -vvv
[13:00] <Edward2> Hello. Got a small sound problem. I've just gotten this new computer to install Linux on (Ubuntu 11.10) and trying to get sound from it. So far I have sound from the 6-port card in the back, but how do I get sound from the front port (headphones)?
[13:00] <clean> Edward2: alsamixer
[13:01] <clean> Edward2: to unmute the front port
[13:01] <Edico> hi

[13:01] <Edico> what does it mean "Unity" for desktop environment?
[13:02] <Edward2> clean: Everything's unmuted.
[13:02] <Sidewinder1> !unity | Edico
[13:02] <ActionParsnip> Edward2: Unity is a shell, Gnome is still the DE
[13:04] <Edward2> ActionParsnip: It gave alot of text, then tells me it will collect diagnostic info about my ALSA. "Automatically upload ALSA info to alsa-project? [y/N]"
[13:04] <mkanyicy> Edward2, try: 'amixer set Master on; amixer set Headphone on; amixer set Front on'

[13:06] <ActionParsnip> Edward2: oh jeez, audigy crap is always fun to setup :()
[13:06] <L1nuxRules> does anyone know if gnome 2 is going to continue with back ports? I dont like gnome 3
[13:07] <Edward2> ActionParsnip: That's what it gave me, I enabled "Download Updates During Install", so....
[13:07] <ActionParsnip> L1nuxRules: its dead upstream, there may be forks like 'mate'
[13:08] <Sidewinder1> L1nuxRules, Personally, I just use 10.04, it's supported 'til 2013.
[13:08] <L1nuxRules> ActionParsnip I c
[13:08] <kamilnadeem> Hi
[13:08] <Edward2> mkanyicy: amixer: Invalid command!
[13:08] <giulia27> hello, I have managed to subtitle a video. But my subtitles don't appear as aubergine color. Here is the pastebin of my mencoder.conf : http://pastebin.com/D2E2VyEg Any idea on how can I put my subtitles in aubergine color, please ? Thank you
[13:08] <kamilnadeem> How to format external hd on ubuntu 11.10
[13:09] <makara> hi. for interest its PUT plugin. Put to output will move window into the next display. This is useful for me because Ubuntu very annoyingly remembers which output a window sat in. So if you disconnect your 2nd display you cant open a window that was in it when there were 2 displays
[13:09] <L1nuxRules> sidewinder1 yeah good point but I do mix my distros from time to time
[13:09] <mkanyicy> Edward: type 'type amixer'
[13:09] <mkanyicy> Edward2: type 'type amixer'
[13:09] <kamilnadeem> I did it with disk utility using ext4 but I am unable to make folders . Also checking properties it say I don't hav ethe permission
[13:09] <kamilnadeem> ActionParsnip: Hi
[13:10] <Edward2> mkanyicy: amixer is /usr/bin/amixer
[13:10] <ActionParsnip> Edward2: there is a firmware file or two I believe you need
[13:10] <ActionParsnip> kamilnadeem: howdy
[13:10] <kamilnadeem> I have a transcend 640gb external hd
[13:10] <Sidewinder1> L1nuxRules, About the only downside, for me is that I can't answer kamilnadeem question, above. In 10.04 it's easy.. :-(
[13:11] <yogg> Hi
[13:11] <yogg> I try to share an bluray over NFS. But it does not work. Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS  ->  "exportfs -ra" gives me "exportfs: Warning: /mnt/bluray does not support NFS export.".
[13:11] <yogg> Has someone an idea what i make wrong?
[13:11] <mkanyicy> Edward2: now type this and paste the url: 'amixer | pastebinit'
[13:11] <FloodBot1> yogg: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:11] <L1nuxRules> kamilnadeem your trying to create dirs above your permissions with you login you mcan only create within your home dir you will need to use sudo for creating anywhere else
[13:11] <ActionParsnip> Edward2: may help https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+question/122284
[13:11] <Sidewinder1> L1nuxRules, Probably is just as easy in 11.10, just that I don't know the proper steps..
[13:12] <Sidewinder1> yogg, 8.04 is EOL.
[13:12] <Sidewinder1> !eol | yogg
[13:12] <kamilnadeem> L1nuxRules: I formated the external hd in gparted then made a 400gb ext4 part ,
[13:13] <kamilnadeem> L1nuxRules: how do I format it so that I am able to write to it ?
[13:13] <yogg> Sidewinder1: "http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu" says ubuntu server -> April 2013
[13:13] <yogg> is this wrong?
[13:13] <llutz_> !permissions | kamilnadeem: then chown/chmod it to your needs
[13:14] <ActionParsnip> yogg: wikipedia isn't reliable
[13:14] <L1nuxRules> kamilnadeem what file system ou want?
[13:14] <milo_> Linux, I've never prayed to you before.  Sorry, as an aside, I'm on 10.04, as well :D
[13:14] <Sidewinder1> Server! Duh to me..
[13:15] <milo_> (imagine Arnold from Conan the Barbarian)
[13:15] <ActionParsnip> milo_: what is the use of the drive?
[13:15] <milo_> Use of the drive?
[13:15] <L1nuxRules> Like Linux has any issues with partitioning
[13:15] <kamilnadeem> I want to have 2 partitions on it. the 400gb one for Linux and the rest in fat32 just in case I need to connect to some windows(I don't use it).
[13:15] <ActionParsnip> milo_: yes, what is it being partitioned to store?
[13:15] <L1nuxRules> end user > /dev/null
[13:15] <milo_> I just want to dual boot. What's on there now? Couldn't tell you. Not that savy.
[13:15] <szal> hm, what was the cmd again to list files in a DEB package?
[13:16] <ActionParsnip> kamilnadeem: use ntfs instead of fat32. Ntfs is not robust and 4Gb file limit is a bit annoying
[13:16] <ActionParsnip> milo_: are you going to blank the drive and install a dual boot system?
[13:16] <szal> ActionParsnip: NTFS is _not_ robust?
[13:16] <yogg> Sidewinder1: no its ubuntu 8.04.04 server
[13:16] <ActionParsnip> szal: its MORE robust than fat32
[13:16] <milo_> I've been trying to get a live cd or usb going. My burner isn't working now...
[13:16] <kamilnadeem> ActionParsnip: Thanks. But should I use disk utility then which partition scheme. MBR or GUID
[13:17] <milo_> so can't make a cd
[13:17] <milo_> trying to make a usb
[13:17] <yogg> ActionParsnip: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases    does only show the desktop version of 8.04 but nothing about the server version
[13:17] <Wiz_KeeD> can someone please tell me what could have cause the dissapearance of highlighting in the console? using ubuntu 10.4
[13:17] <ActionParsnip> yogg: Ubuntu 8.04.3 LTS
[13:17] <ActionParsnip> Changes
[13:17] <ActionParsnip> July 16, 2009
[13:17] <Sidewinder1> yogg, Just got the 'server' part; sorry, trying to scan too many things.. :-(
[13:17] <Wiz_KeeD> the folders, executables and such are all in white
[13:17] <Wiz_KeeD> there is no more distinction
[13:17] <ActionParsnip> yogg: EOL April 2013 (server)

[13:18] <helo1> Hello!
[13:18] <ActionParsnip> kamilnadeem: if you intend to share with windows then format the partition to NTFS within a windows OS
[13:18] <ActionParsnip> yogg: ;)
[13:18] <d3ngar> Hi there
[13:18] <makara> kamilnadeem: install samba
[13:18] <VCoolio> Wiz_KeeD: was something added in .bashrc concerning LS_COLORS? what does 'dircolors' say?
[13:18] <d3ngar> I was wondering how to access gwibber and empathy from gnome-shell?
[13:18] <deus_> how can i change channel ?
[13:18] <Sidewinder1> deus_, Only about 1442, here. :-)
[13:19] <deus_> lol
[13:19] <VCoolio> Wiz_KeeD: or changed color preferences in your terminal?
[13:19] <helo1> I'm looking for help with an NFS server based on Ubuntu 10.04.3 Server
[13:19] <deus_> never tried IRC b4
[13:19] <ActionParsnip> deus_: /join #channelname
[13:19] <deus_> ty
[13:19] <Wiz_KeeD> i might have by mistake...idk
[13:19] <deus_> ok, how2 list channels ?
[13:19] <kamilnadeem> I don't have a windows os but just in case someone needs some data from me I will connect to his system and the ntfs partition should be picked
[13:19] <ActionParsnip> !alis
[13:19] <hypeBoy> deus_: /list
[13:19] <ActionParsnip> hmm
[13:19] <ActionParsnip> yeah thats it
[13:19] <deus_> ty
[13:21] <makara> kamilnadeem: it depends on the service. he should never see that deep into your PC
[13:21] <Edward2> mkanyicy: http://paste.ubuntu.com/786788/
[13:21] <yogg> ActionParsnip: ok now i am confused.   is my "Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS"   EOL?  It was installed from an ubuntu server cd "https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases" only talkes about "Ubuntu 8.04.2 LTS"
[13:21] <helo1> 8.xx is out of support
[13:21] <makara> there are many ways of sharing. Samba is the common one. you can also setup an FTP service on your box with vsftp
[13:22] <Wiz_KeeD> VCoolio, it looks to be enabled...
[13:22] <Wiz_KeeD> :(
[13:22] <helo1> LTS releases are supported for 3 years
[13:22] <Sidewinder1> yogg, No, ubuntu Server, 8.04 IS supported 'til 2013.
[13:22] <kamilnadeem> makara: I want to format the external hd , so I am following this method. Gparted>create 400gb ext4 part for now
[13:22] <ActionParsnip> yogg: the server LTS releases are supported 5 years
[13:22] <KNRO> How do you make packages from outside universe available to packages being built by launchpad build system?
[13:22] <makara> kamilnadeem: external! sorry
[13:22] <ActionParsnip> yogg: the sub-release value is fairly worthless, you'll just have more to update
[13:23] <yogg> Sidewinder1: ActionParsnip: ok thanks
[13:23] <kamilnadeem> makara: the thing is I am not able to write to it
[13:23] <d3ngar> Hi, any idea how to access empathy from gnome-shell? It seems it's hidden from the system tray?
[13:23] <Sidewinder1> yogg, NP.
[13:23] <makara> kamilnadeem: what the error?
[13:23] <ActionParsnip> d3ngar: you can edit the tray rules to allow more icons
[13:23] <makara> is it still mounted?
[13:24] <d3ngar> ActionParsnip: (awesome name!) how though?
[13:24] <Edico> what is the name of the package for kdevelop?
[13:24] <Edico> I can't find it
[13:24] <yogg> then back to my first question ^^       i try to share a bluray out of ubuntu 8.04.04 (server) with nfs, but nfs gives me "exportfs: Warning: /mnt/bluray does not support NFS export."
[13:24] <helo1> Can anyone in here help me with an NFS issue (Ubuntu 10.04.3)?
[13:24] <kamilnadeem> makara: no error, only that I am not able to paste files onto it or create folders in it
[13:25] <Sidewinder1> kamilnadeem, Try typing, in terminal: sudo chown -R uesername:username /exthddUUID
[13:25] <L1nuxRules> edico dont know for sure as not used kde in years but could be kde-devel
[13:25] <clean> try apt-cache search kdevelop
[13:25] <clean> Edico: try apt-cache search kdevelop
[13:25] <szal> helo1: do we know the issue yet?
[13:26] <helo1> No, I'm not sure where to start looking to troubleshoot
[13:26] <kamilnadeem> Sidewinder1: chown: cannot access `/exthddUUID': No such file or directory
[13:26] <retrorex> hi
[13:26] <helo1> The NFS share is mounted on a Mac OSX machine. Appears fine, but disconnects during transfers to the NFS
[13:26] <metaspike> KNRO, that depends... assuming standard make scenario..   ./configure && make && dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot - else   cmake . && make && dpkg-buildpackage   or less satisfactorily - ./configure && make && fakeroot checkinstall make install
[13:27] <Edward2> ActionParsnip: The link you gave me didn't help much. Everything is unmuted.
[13:27] <mkanyicy> Edward2, try 'amixer set Master on; amixer set Line on'
[13:27] <retrorex> Anybody knows the package /how to get audacious - alternative that looks like foobar without frills (ie without winamp skin) ,Looks like a editor
[13:27] <Sidewinder1> kamilnadeem, "exthddUUID is the UUID of the external drive; you'll have to supply that value; each hard drive will have it's own unique UUID.
[13:27] <L1nuxRules> test
[13:28] <Edward2> mkanyicy: amixer: Invalid command!
[13:28] <mkanyicy> Edward2, try 'amixer set Master on; amixer set Line on; amixer set Front on'
[13:28] <L1nuxRules> */*exthddUUID probably doesent exist is it in rootfs?
[13:28] <metaspike> KNRO, either way a .deb is produced, which is installed with - dpkg -i mynewdeb.db
[13:28] <kamilnadeem> ALso why isn't it not happening like out of the gate. O.o not happy with such hassle in tryibg to backup
[13:28] <meng_> nimenhao
[13:28] <metaspike> dpkg -i mynewdeb.deb*
[13:29] <L1nuxRules> why you putting a wild card at the end of a package installl
[13:29] <retrorex> I guess no answer
[13:29] <makara> kamilnadeem: if windows doesn't support ext4 then just make it FAT. Can't blame linux for that
[13:29] <pksadiq> Edward2: did you try changing the output at sound preferences? (right clicking the sound at panel)
[13:29] <milo_> Ok, the boot usb didn't work. It just started Kubuntu up!
[13:29] <metaspike> it was a amendment to my previous typo v-v
[13:30] <milo_> Man, linux makes me want to smash my computer
[13:30] <meng_> what ?
[13:30] <Sidewinder1> kamilnadeem, Please see here for further instructions to accomplish: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1029982.html
[13:30] <kamilnadeem> makara: WHat are you saying Man. This is not about windows or anything
[13:30] <ActionParsnip> kamilnadeem: ext4 defs are open and available. Microsoft are ignormant and will not or have not made ext4 access in their OS
[13:30] <L1nuxRules> windows dont support file systems other than there own without 3rd part tools
[13:30] <meng_> what is else?
[13:30] <kamilnadeem> I want to make backup , as simple as that for using with linux distros
[13:31] <amdhome1> hi all i look for some help( cant erase dvd - rw on ubuntu in terminal neiter does brasero work can someone help?
[13:31] <kamilnadeem> that is it
[13:31] <kamilnadeem> why I am not able to paste content in it
[13:31] <L1nuxRules> kamilnadeem man rsync
[13:31] <kamilnadeem> why I am not able to create folders in it
[13:31] <amdhome1> cdrecord dev=/dev/cdrom blank=fast wont work either for dvd (cd-rw) works fine
[13:31] <llutz_> !permissions | kamilnadeem

[13:32] <amdhome1> no effect tried clean
[13:32] <leah> Question:  I created a drive on my computer and filled it with ubuntu installion software, how do i get my computer to boot from this new partician
[13:32] <Edward2> pksadiq: Right Click "speaker icon" in top-right, get volume, Banshee, Sound settings.
[13:32] <ComradeHaz`> Hi all. Any chance of some assistance getting gui working. On a Vaio machine, starting gdm(?) hangs with just a cursor (which moves).
[13:32] <pksadiq> Edward2: ?
[13:32] <metaspike> amdhome1, use wodim -   sudo wodmin -format
[13:33] <metaspike> *amdhome1, use wodim -   sudo wodim -format
[13:33] <makara> kamilnadeem: could be any number of things. You need to go step by step with someone - best done in terminal
[13:33] <kamilnadeem> llutz_: is not their a GUI way
[13:33] <Edward2> pksadiq: Ubuntu 11.10, gnome desktop completely different (from 10.04).
[13:33] <clean> AdmV0rl0n: $ ls -l $(which cdrecord)
[13:33] <llutz_> kamilnadeem: you need to understand how permission/ownership work, theres no need for a GUI to learn this
[13:33] <amdhome1> ok i tried that too meraspike wut it says file wodim not found
[13:33] <clean> amdhome1: $ ls -l $(which cdrecord)
[13:34] <kamilnadeem> Thanks Guys . I will read it then .
[13:34] <Edward2> pksadiq: Large icons to the left, envelope, arrows, speaker, time, username, and gear icons on the top-right.
[13:34] <makara> kamilnadeem: terminal is definite. easier to relate to the other person. You could always run teamviewer and let them fiddle remotely.
[13:34] <metaspike> amdhome1, sudo apt-get install wodim
[13:34] <pksadiq> Edward2: oh, may be sound settings,> output tab and select the output
[13:35] <metaspike> amdhome1, if it's not found, thats because you dont have it
[13:35] <amdhome1> already the new version metaspike
[13:35] <metaspike> or it doesn't exist :)
[13:35] <amdhome1> ill try root Metaspikr
[13:35] <helo1> Can anyone in here help troubleshoot an NFS issue? (Connection drops during transfer)
[13:36] <Edward2> pksadiq: Only device: SB Audigy Analog Stereo. Connector: Analog Output / Amplifier or Analog Output / No Amplifier
[13:36] <metaspike> yeah... sudo wodim -format   ( format cdrom device with wodim)
[13:36] <ActionParsnip> d3ngar: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/10/things-to-tweak-after-installing-ubuntu.html   shows how to tweak the panel to show [all] items
[13:36] <pksadiq> Edward2: try whether any one works
[13:36] <L1nuxRules> helo1 if its dropping during transfer probabbly network related and what should be ruled out first
[13:36] <metaspike> helo1, it's probably due to to a permission failure.
[13:37] <metaspike> :) either or.
[13:37] <helo1> L1nuxRules: The machine it is dropping from is plugged into the same switch as the server, and the only other port on the switch being used is the uplink.
[13:37] <froes_> hi .. do anyone knows any upnp server that can transcode to xbox360 on the fly ?
[13:37] <metaspike> i honestly think ftp is eaiser, although redundant
[13:37] <d3ngar> ActionParsnip: Thanks a mil
[13:37] <Sidewinder1> Is there a 'flag' in the fdisk command to list UUIDs along with disk names?
[13:38] <shomon> hi, how do I get skype working? I can hear but can't figure out the microphone
[13:38] <helo1> metaspike: The NFS works fine some of the time; does that still make sense, and how can I check?
[13:38] <llutz_> Sidewinder1: since fdisk cannot handle filesystems, no
[13:38] <shomon> levels seem fine and not muted on alsamixer
[13:38] <ActionParsnip> shomon: is it muted in alsamixer ?
[13:38] <shomon> no
[13:38] <metaspike> helo1, it makes no sense at all! i either use ssh or ftp, and they work flawlessly for me
[13:38] <shomon> ActionParsnip, but I'm getting a connection refused error when running it in the terminal
[13:39] <Edward2> pksadiq: Both work on rear, but not front.
[13:39] <clean> Sidewinder1: ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid
[13:39] <L1nuxRules> helo1 ok pretty much resolves network connectivity then have you set time outs on Im assuming your using rsync?
[13:39] <ActionParsnip> shomon: try the deb from the skype site
[13:39] <Sidewinder1> llutz, Not really what I wanted to hear; but many thanks anyway..
[13:39] <paul> Why is Xfce broken? No window manager.
[13:40] <shomon> ok trying that thanks ActionParsnip
[13:40] <retrorex_> ok here is the question again : How do you install audacious gtkui (simple audacious) in ubuntu ..Have tried apt-get
[13:40] <amdhome1> wodim: media format asked
[13:40] <amdhome1> Error: disk already formated, ignoring.
[13:40] <amdhome1> wodim: Cannot format disk, aborting. metaspike
[13:40] <clean> Sidewinder1: because there's no such flag
[13:41] <metaspike> amdhome1, it speaks for itself
[13:41] <Sidewinder1> clean, EXACTLY What I was lookin' for; mega-thanx! Now I gotta write it down.
[13:41] <amdhome1> i dont want to format it i like to erase the disc metaspike
[13:41] <clean> Sidewinder1: congratulations :)
[13:41] <L1nuxRules> amdhome1 sounds like the part wasnt cleanly unmountewd on windows the only fix I personally know for that is remounting and windows and unmounting
[13:41] <helo1> L1nuxRules: I have not set time outs. How do I do this, and what would you suggest I set them to? I am not using rsync. The NFS server is an Ubuntu 10.04.3 Server install sharing out a 6TiB RAID to the network as central storage.
[13:42] <clean> L1nuxRules: maybe
[13:42] <NimeshNeema> how to determine my lan card's mac address
[13:42] <metaspike> paul, im not sure.    gedit ~/.xsession  - in terminal then ensure -  xfce4-session  - is the only thing in there, that should force xfce4 initialisation
[13:42] <llutz_> NimeshNeema: ifconfig
[13:42] <amdhome1> LinuxRules i dont use windows :D
[13:42] <NimeshNeema> llutz_: thanks
[13:42] <dragonslay> !ifconfig
[13:43] <oneliner> ActionParsnip: 1) dont know if i got to thank you yesterday for the Xorg edgers ppa, 2)are you aware if there is an "Ethernet Edgers" ppa somewhere? :)
[13:43] <oneliner> apparently the Ethernet i have has a  bug
[13:43] <paul> Okay I'll try that. I can't get any of my google ideas to work.
[13:44] <hozeHoze1> hi all, im trying to allow all users to be able to mount the cdrom on ubuntu server 10.04, im getting "mount: only root can do that" , in fstab: /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 iso9660 defaults,noauto,ro,user 0 0 . command used for mounting: mount /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 . any ideas? thanks
[13:44] <L1nuxRules> helo1 if you havent set timeouts default wouldnt fail so its not because of that
[13:44] <L1nuxRules> well probbably not*
[13:44] <hypeBoy> hi, i have evdo mobile broadband, how can i dial numbers. I got the internet to work but i need to CALL to recharge my net account.
[13:44] <helo1> Okay.
[13:45] <dragonslay> hozehoze1: add permissions in /etc/sudoers and allow mount for all
[13:45] <metaspike> NimeshNeema, sudo ifconfig eth0 | grep -o -E '([[:xdigit:]]{1,2}:){5}[[:xdigit:]]{1,2}'
[13:46] <NimeshNeema> metaspike: can't understand what does the string after grep does ?
[13:46] <L1nuxRules> it searches for that string
[13:47] <retrorex_> NimeshNeema | its called a pipe ...(right above enter key)
[13:47] <helo1> L1nuxRules: Any other ideas?
[13:47] <hozeHoze1> dragonslay: that will allow all users to mount whatever they want
[13:47] <amdhome1> metaspike i tried blank=fast,all and,session notheing seems to work :D
[13:47] <metaspike> i doubt it's the best way...
[13:47] <NimeshNeema> L1nuxRules: and how to list all the hardware devices connected to system ?
[13:47] <retrorex_> Neema:lspci I think
[13:47] <DemonWitch> how can install all package that follow gtk-engines-* format?
[13:47] <ManDay> Is there any program that can search for a string contained in the content of documents?
[13:47] <NimeshNeema> retrorex_: yups :-)
[13:47] <pksadiq> ManDay: grep
[13:47] <ManDay> And by content I mean not just ASCII plain text
[13:48] <ManDay> pksadiq: ^ such as OpenOffice or Word documents
[13:48] <L1nuxRules> nimeshneema lspci and grep mostly depends on the hard ware
[13:49] <pksadiq> ManDay: I just heard of odfgrep or grepodf, I don't know whether it exists or not somewhere on net
[13:50] <amdhome1> does someone knows an other command to erase(wipe) a dvd without wodim ?
[13:50] <ManDay> I keep telling ordinary they should give Linux (and specifically Ubuntu) a try. And I must admit they do have a point in alleging that Linux is not suited for the average user if a task such as searching for content is not adequately covered - pretty much the thing computers were invented for in the first place.
[13:50] <hypeBoy> i need a dialer for EVDO modile broadband. i can connect to internet but i want to make phone CALLS!
[13:50] <hypeBoy> any one please help me
[13:50] <ManDay> ordinary users, that is.
[13:50] <karol_> hi
[13:50] <amdhome1> hi karol_
[13:51] <dragonslay> ManDay: beagle can search within documents
[13:51] <hypeBoy> i am using ubuntu 11.10
[13:51] <karol_> ive got a problem with grub
[13:51] <L1nuxRules> Linux is not for noobs but windows isnt really they still have technical issues they have to get support for so whats the diff really?
[13:51] <amdhome1> i see karol_ what does it say ?
[13:51] <karol_> its showing only windows os
[13:51] <ManDay> dragonslay: Sounds good! I have a look
[13:51] <metaspike> amdhome1,  wodim is a proper way to format a cdrom.
[13:51] <metaspike> cd*
[13:52] <ManDay> dragonslay: Looks very nice. Thanks
[13:52] <amdhome1> oh then you forgot to install grub i think while installing ubuntu karol_
[13:52] <karol_> no
[13:52] <metaspike> L1nuxRules, the difference is distrobution, implimentation and licencing...
[13:52] <karol_> i had some problems with windows and after that ive reinstalled grub
[13:52] <llutz_> amdhome1: dvd+rw-format
[13:52] <forgotten> is there any major reason why you would customize ur kernel using apt-get / fakeroot  instead of just building from source package from kernel.org ?
[13:52] <hypeBoy> help me i need a dialer so i can make calls on ubuntu . i am using EVDO mobile usb
[13:52] <L1nuxRules> metaspike obviously I was talking at technical lvl
[13:53] <karol_> i can boot ubuntu from grub command line, but its not user friendly :)
[13:53] <hypeBoy> PLZZ some1 :(
[13:53] <fdlufei> I cannot use bluetooth to browse  files on other devices,how can i fix it?
[13:53] <L1nuxRules> I work in 3rd line support my user friendly means a dumb ass can use it
[13:53] <amdhome1> did u set the bios boot on hardisc karol_
[13:54] <fdlufei> i use Ubuntu 11.10 and installed newest packages
[13:54] <karol_> ive tried grub-mkconfig, and in /boot/grub/grub.cfg ive got a lot menu entries but grub is showing onlu linux
[13:54] <metaspike> L1nuxRules, 'nuff said.
[13:54] <forgotten> is there any major reason why you would customize ur kernel using apt-get / fakeroot  instead of just building from source package from kernel.org ?
[13:54] <amdhome1> then u didnt install ubuntu alongside then u whiped whole windows iḿ afraid karol_
[13:54] <karol_> pc is booting from appropriate hdd
[13:55] <metaspike> karol_, and it's missing a linux parition?
[13:55] <karol_> no
[13:55] <Sidewinder1> karol_, Have you tried sudo update-grub
[13:55] <metaspike> karol_, or a windows installation?
[13:55] <karol_> all partitions are ok
[13:55] <karol_> except /boot
[13:55] <L1nuxRules> forgotten if you want to customize your kernel do it from source
[13:55] <karol_> no i didnt try update-grub
[13:56] <amdhome1> u can add a /boot partition karol_ if u left space
[13:56] <metaspike> forgotten, there's no difference, all fakeroot does is emulate a root enviroment so that root processe' dont mess with the root system itself.
[13:56] <forgotten> L1nuxRules: just make menuconfig .. yada yada?   nothing special for ubuntu
[13:56] <Sidewinder1> karol_, It's worth a shot. ;-)
[13:56] <forgotten> metaspike: k cool :) tyvm
[13:56] <karol_> ive got /boot on separate partition already
[13:56] <forgotten> L1nuxRules: ty too.
[13:56] <hozeHoze1> im trying to allow all users to be able to mount the cdrom on ubuntu server 10.04, im getting "mount: only root can do that" , in fstab: /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 iso9660 defaults,noauto,ro,user 0 0 . command used for mounting: mount /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 . any ideas? thanks
[13:56] <karol_> but update-grub2 is generating grub.cfg
[13:57] <ManDay> dragonslay: Beagle appears to be no longer maintained, though
[13:57] <Sidewinder1> karol_, Don't forget the 'sudo'.
[13:57] <L1nuxRules> hozehozel you will need to add the users to sudo
[13:57] <mkanyicy> hozeHoze1, the noauto
[13:57] <mkanyicy> hozeHoze1, remove the noauto from the list
[13:57] <karol_> ive got grub.cfg from grub-mkconfig... and there are menu entries from linux, but grub is not showing them
[13:57] <metaspike> hozeHoze1, yeah, change noauto to auto
[13:57] <amdhome1> if u dont have a sudo password set u can do so by sudo passwrd root
[13:57] <dragonslay> ManDay: but it is good enough than other search programs.. hoping that someone might continue.
[13:57] <Edward2> New problem! When I click on Sound Settings, I can't get the Input selection to stay on Microphone 1.
[13:57] <mkanyicy> hozeHoze1, just like what metaspike is suggesting
[13:58] <dragonslay> ManDay: if you want maintained program, then try tracker
[13:58] <ManDay> what about google desktop?
[13:58] <owenll>  fdlufei: you have managed to pair the two devices successfully?
[13:58] <hozeHoze1> auto means mount on boot, but its a cdrom and it wont mount if there is no cd inside
[13:58] <karol_> ok i try to reboot after update-grub
[13:58] <Sidewinder1> karol_, Have you had a look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2  ?
[13:58] <dragonslay> ManDay: its not FOSS ;)
[13:58] <ManDay> indeed.
[13:59] <L1nuxRules> hozehoze1 its nothing to do with fstab just your privs that prevent it
[13:59] <dragonslay> !who
[13:59] <ManDay> but sometimes, you have to make friends with the devil dragonslay
[13:59] <fdlufei> yes, i have paired them.
[13:59] <karol_> yes, but just for "how to reinstall grub"
[13:59] <L1nuxRules> hozehoze1 you need root or sudo privs to mount anything
[13:59] <Sidewinder1> Better the devil 'ya knoe.
[13:59] <hozeHoze1> L1nuxRules: the user that i'm trying to mount with is a sudoer
[13:59] <Sidewinder1> know, even.
[13:59] <L1nuxRules> ah ok
[13:59] <karol_> ill try to reboot now, and ill be back in a few minutes
[13:59] <dragonslay> ManDay: :) beagle has more features as of now
[14:01] <root> lklk
[14:02] <L1nuxRules> hozehoze1 what was the error msg u got?
[14:03] <hozeHoze1> hoze@localserv:/media$ mount /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 |  mount: only root can do that | hoze@localserv:/media$ sudo mount /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0  |  mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
[14:03] <owenll> fdlufei: Have you looked at settings of "personal file sharing" from dash?
[14:03] <hozeHoze1> with sudo i can mount it, but i need all users to be able to mount the cdrom
[14:03] <ManDay> dragonslay: okay ty agan
[14:03] <ManDay> again
[14:03] <hozeHoze1> im trying to share the cdrom via samba
[14:04] <L1nuxRules> hozehoze1 your not a sudoer or your sudo access hasnt been setup right. you should try the full path to mount though as it might not be in your path
[14:04] <fdlufei> owenll: maybe the bluetooth use the command line: "nautilus --browser obex://[]/", but i found the nautilus have no the --browser parameter.
[14:05] <L1nuxRules> if that doesent work your sudo hasnt been setup with the needed privs
[14:05] <hozeHoze1> L1nuxRules: the current user is the only user on that computer, its the user that has been created with the install of the os
[14:06] <fdlufei> I want to browse other device files, should I set the personal file sharing preferences?
[14:06] <owenll> fdlufei: Under Personal File Sharing preferences there is an option to enable sharing files over bluetooth
[14:06] <carera> good afternoon lads
[14:07] <L1nuxRules> hozehoze1 ok this is ubuntu Im other distro user learning ubuntu so as I have in the past been told not to advise I wont advise to create a root login there is a sudo switch that will give you root though the ubuntu boys can help with that
[14:08] <dragonslay> hozehoze1: giving access to /dev/cdrom would work?
[14:09] <hozeHoze1> L1nuxRules: fstab is suppose to do the thing i need , allow all users to mount the cdrom, but for some reason its not doing that :)
[14:09] <forgotten> why can't u just set a password on root and then su to it.. 1 time password.
[14:09] <forgotten> thats what i do
[14:09] <karol_> damn, im back
[14:09] <L1nuxRules> hozehoze1 you need root to modify fstab though
[14:09] <karol_> unfortunately nothing changed
[14:09] <ActionParsnip> forgotten: its not necessary or supported
[14:10] <karol_> i had to write about 6-7 commands in grub command line to run linux
[14:10] <ActionParsnip> forgotten: just use:  sudo -i   and you will get a root console
[14:10] <forgotten> what do u mean not supported?
[14:10] <hozeHoze1> i am modifying fstab, thats not a problem, the problem is that fstab is ignoring me :)
[14:10] <ActionParsnip> forgotten: we don't support setting a root password here
[14:10] <forgotten> oh here
[14:10] <metaspike> karol_,  sudo grub-install /dev/sda    ( reinstall grub to sda, for example)
[14:10] <dragonslay> hozehoze1 : user settings under administration
[14:10] <ActionParsnip> forgotten: you can use: sudo -i   and get the same thing, so why bother
[14:10] <VCoolio>  /query ubottu
[14:10] <VCoolio>  /query ubottu
[14:11] <hozeHoze1> dragonslay: what do you mean ? i am trying to give access to /dev/cdrom, when user access the samba shared cdrom
[14:11] <karol_> it will be grub2? ;) with that preety menu where i can choose OS?
[14:11] <metaspike> hozeHoze1, cat /etc/fstab | pastebinit   -   lets have a look
[14:11] <ActionParsnip> karol_: yes
[14:11] <karol_> and i dont have to remove old grub before installing?
[14:11] <ActionParsnip> karol_: I suggest you do, just for neatness
[14:12] <Gandofor> hi there - trying to get an ipod nano red 16gb (mc699) to sync some music from ubuntu. GTKpod does not acccept the iPod at all, Banshee and gnupod-tools copy over music but the ipod is not recognizing any of the music (guess the DB is not built correctly). Any further ideas?
[14:12] <karol_> just like i tought
[14:12] <metaspike> Gandofor, mount it first... sudo mkidr /media/ipod && sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /media/ipod   (for example)
[14:12] <ActionParsnip> Gandofor: rhythmnbox
[14:13] <ActionParsnip> !info ifuse | Gandofor may also help
[14:13] <metaspike> *sudo mkdir /media/ipod && sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /media/ipod   (for example)
[14:13] <hozeHoze1> metaspike: http://pastebin.com/dSJ5RG4H
[14:13] <L1nuxRules> grub 2 buts still grum 1.98 (not exact I know)
[14:13] <Gandofor> thanks, metaspike & ActionParsnip, will try
[14:13] <karol_> i can uninstall it using "how to" from help.ubuntu.com/community/grub2#uninstalling_grub_2 ?
[14:13] <L1nuxRules> << drunk
[14:14] <hozeHoze1> metaspike: i tried iso9660 instead of auto also
[14:16] <metaspike> hozeHoze1, and you cannot mount? here's my fstab cdrom fyi: /dev/scd0       /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0
[14:16] <mkanyicy> hozeHoze1, why did you add this cdrom entry in fstab in this fstab file in the first place?
[14:17] <Guest82188> what
[14:17] <hozeHoze1> metaspike: im getting only root can mount
[14:17] <hozeHoze1> mkanyicy: i'm trying to add the cdrom on samba share
[14:18] <hozeHoze1> do i need to restart anything to apply the fstab changes?
[14:18] <Guest82188> who changed my name
[14:18] <mkanyicy> hozeHoze1, what do you do in order to get that error message 'only root can mount'
[14:18] <Gandofor> ActionParsnip: Rhythmbox says the same as gtkpod: (rhythmbox:4304): Rhythmbox-WARNING **: Could not write database to iPod: Unsupported checksum type
[14:18] <karol_> ok, ive purged grub-pc and reinstalled it
[14:18] <karol_> reboot now
[14:18] <L1nuxRules> hozehoze1 nfs if anything
[14:18] <metaspike> karo
[14:19] <metaspike> pfft. reboot at peril >_<
[14:19] <Gandofor> Guess that's Apple's nice way of saying fsck ubuntu?
[14:19] <hozeHoze1> mkanyicy: i added the chare in smb.conf , i saw that nothing was showing up in the share when opene with smb://... i check if the cdrom is mount, it wasnt, i checked the samba log i saw that message
[14:19] <metaspike> Gandofor, can you mount the ipod manually?
[14:20] <Gandofor> metaspike: yes
[14:20] <metaspike> gtkpod?
[14:20] <fdlufei> owenll: I have enable sharing files over bluetooth, but I still can not browse the phone files. when I click the browse files button, the Connection on and close Automatically later. How can I view the log ?
[14:20] <Gandofor> metaspike: /dev/sdb1 on /media/IPOD type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000,gid=1000,shortname=mixed,dmask=0077,utf8=1,showexec,flush,uhelper=udisks)
[14:20] <compdoc> hozeHoze1, you need to mount it before sharing it. What I dont know is what happens when you insert a new cd into the drive - I dont know if samba will automaticallly share it to.
[14:21] <compdoc> too
[14:21] <Gandofor> metaspike: says that it can't find the needed directory structure. After trying to create it, it gives a checksum error
[14:21] <hozeHoze1> in smb.conf i have    preexec = /bin/mount /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0  and  postexec = /bin/umount /media/cdrom0
[14:21] <metaspike> what was that output from:
[14:22] <retrorex_> hi is it possible to merge swap with ext4 on installation
[14:22] <mkanyicy> hozeHoze1, as which user will that command run as?
[14:22] <mkanyicy> hozeHoze1, that user should be added to the cdrom group
[14:22] <metaspike> retrorex_, it is possible to use a swap file as apposed to a swap parition, but its not well supported
[14:22] <hozeHoze1> well smbd is ran as root, i guess that will be executed as root
[14:23] <mkanyicy> hozeHoze1, but the error message does not say the same thing
[14:23] <metaspike> Gandofor, I've used gtkpod before for ipod, all I had to do was plugin ipod, mount it with "mount /dev/ blah blah" and run   sudo gtkpod  (because i couldnt be bothered with permissions)
[14:23] <mkanyicy> hozeHoze1, that error message imply that that command is not run as root
[14:24] <ActionParsnip> hozeHoze1: assuming /dev/scd0 is in /etc/fstab
[14:24] <L1nuxRules> use nfs and lock down your firewall and hosts files :)
[14:24] <owenll> fdlufei: I'm no expert the only suggestion I have is to try blueman - http://blueman-project.org/ - seems to have worked for others with your problem
[14:24] <ActionParsnip> hozeHoze1: or the pfreexec will fail
[14:24] <Gandofor> metaspike: it seems the nano touch is always problematic
[14:25] <ActionParsnip> metaspike: gksudo for gui apps
[14:25] <hozeHoze1> ActionParsnip: then the cdrom should be mounted when cd is inserted right?
[14:25] <owenll> fdlufei: therse is a guide to installing it here http://ubuntu-answers.blogspot.com/2011/11/bluetooth-on-ubuntu-1110.html
[14:25] <ActionParsnip> hozeHoze1: yes if fstab is setup, or the preexec will fail
[14:25] <mkanyicy> hozeHoze1, yes it should be mounted
[14:26] <mkanyicy> ActionParsnip, here is the fstab for hozeHoze1: http://pastebin.com/dSJ5RG4H
[14:26] <L1nuxRules> cd-rom will be mounted as the user your logged in as if you need to execute somethjing from it as root you will need to have the sudo creds to do so
[14:26] <L1nuxRules> otherwise activate root and run it as
[14:27] <fdlufei> owenll: thank you, I will try another way.
[14:27] <mkanyicy> !who | L1nuxRules
[14:27] <hozeHoze1> L1nuxRules: i see, thanks
[14:27] <metaspike> yep... sudo... the permission who gives a stufferatormaglominorator
[14:28] <L1nuxRules> sudo  is to prevent the noobs from breaking stuff
[14:28] <karol_> nothing happens
[14:29] <karol_> grub is still only showing windows
[14:29] <Sidewinder1> and gksudo for GUI apps. :-)
[14:29] <metaspike> karol_, did you try grub-install like I suggested?
[14:29] <karol_> ive searched all /boot partition for files with "windows" in its content, ant there is only one grub.cfg with many menuentries like i said
[14:29] <karol_> yes, i did it
[14:30] <karol_> and before that ive done apt-get purge grub-pc to remove old one
[14:30] <L1nuxRules> sidewinder1 rather than disabling root gksudo should have been
[14:30] <retrorex_> ok default settings with swap it is
[14:31] <aLeSD> hi LL
[14:31] <aLeSD> how could I set the theme of m 11.10 ?
[14:31] <aLeSD> fonts for example
[14:32] <bullgard4> What Ubuntu tool will list all devices currently online on my Ethernet LAN?
[14:33] <metaspike> karol_, with a seperate boot parition it's more complicated, hence "seperate boot partitions are for advanced users" - anyway. you can probably- sudo grub-install --boot-directory /dirtomybootparition /dev/sda - assuming /dir is acutally pointing to your boot parition directory, mounted, and that sda is your target drive.  maybe should have just used a single / parition eh?
[14:33] <bullgard4> !gnome-shell | aleSD
[14:34] <metaspike> bullgard4,  ifconfig  ... or to be specific... sudo ifconfig | grep eth
[14:35] <bullgard4> !gnome3 | aleSD
[14:35] <nith206> heloo guys
[14:35] <nith206> can u tell me how to remove unity from 11.10 completely?
[14:35] <karol_> to make sudo grub install i had to apt-get install grub-pc, and immediately after that, grub install script started and asked me for /boot partition and target device, so we can assume that ive already done it?
[14:35] <L1nuxRules> ! installing grub to mbr | karol_
[14:36] <L1nuxRules> ! "installing grub to mbr" | karol_
[14:36] <karol_> my friend told me to dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-{kernel version} can it help?
[14:37] <L1nuxRules> no
[14:37]  * Sidewinder1 passes L1nuxRules another drink. ;-)
[14:37] <bullgard4> metaspike: Your answer is false.
[14:37] <L1nuxRules> sidewinder1 :)
[14:38] <lhk> hi
[14:38] <owenll> aLeSD: you can change themes in system settings -> appearance
[14:38] <L1nuxRules> bullguard4 what is it your looking for?
