[17:00] <mang0> Dr_Willis, Phr3d13: http://imagebin.org/163473 I want to keep that but get rid of the thing on the left
[17:00] <dastim> ActionParsnip It works now <3<3 thank you, i can change resolution in the nvidia control panel now
[17:01] <szrfph> Ampelbein: I'm on ubuntu with gnome and I never used the network manager to configure the network as it just worked out of the box, apart from half an hour ago, when it just stopped.
[17:02] <Phr3d13> mang0, i don't think you can
[17:02] <mang0> aww, youŕe kidding!
[17:02] <Ampelbein> szrfph: you could check the configuration if there is a wired connection set to auto.
[17:02] <zykotick9> szrfph, (from the if you haven't tried already department) have you tried booting back into windows and using whatever tool there to enable your wireless, then booting back into ubuntu
[17:03] <clean> hi, friends, I am still using 9.10(karmic), and I can't get any security updates now, but I don't want to upgrade because I a afraid to detroy the whole system or any anoying problems to solve after automatic upgrade, can I upgrade it just by install a newer kernel or other methods ? thanks:p
[17:03] <Ampelbein> zykotick9: the connection works, manually using dhclient gets him an ip, so that isn't the problem.
[17:03] <ActionParsnip> dashua: sweet :) basically your monitor sucks and isnt reporting what it can do to your system, you have had to manually tell your system how to act
[17:04] <szrfph> Ampelbein: I actually tried adding a wired connection to see if it'd work, there wasn't a 'wired connection' there at all.
[17:04] <zykotick9> Ampelbein, thanks.  szrfph disregard me ;)
[17:04] <szrfph> Hehe, cheers zykotick9
[17:04] <Phr3d13> clean, there's 3 methods 1) sudo do-release-upgrade 2) from the update manager 3) from a livecd, should give you an upgrade my os option
[17:04] <Ampelbein> szrfph: try adding one, set to automatically connect, reboot and cross your fingers ;-)
[17:05] <ActionParsnip> !eol | clean
[17:05] <Ampelbein> szrfph: (and set it to use dhcp)
[17:06] <clean> Phr3d13: thanks, but I still remember when I first upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10, it failed and I had to did a clean installation and install , configure many software
[17:07] <jameslord> so many rubbish msg
[17:07] <jameslord> jesus
[17:07] <zykotick9> Phr3d13, i'm not sure option 3) from a livecd, is valid?  can livecd's do upgrades?  they can't be used as repositories for upgrades, you need alternate for that.  clean
[17:07] <wrek-gar> TheFuzzball: are you available to answer a question?
[17:07] <Asif> hi....how unity is different from gnome 3...???
[17:07] <viii> moxbox, haha, actually, before i start mucking around in the psmouse source... i should probably ask ... any ideas on how to fix touch pad issues? Synaptics keeps losing syncronization according to dmesg
[17:07] <TheFuzzball> wrek-gar Yep
[17:07] <TehAndrew> howdy
[17:07] <ActionParsnip> Asif: gnome3 is a desktop, unity is a shell
[17:08] <wrek-gar> could you take a look at the following? http://squirrelmail.org/docs/user/user-2.html#ss2.2
[17:08] <zykotick9> !eol > Phr3d13 this also applies for 9.10 i think
[17:08] <szrfph> Ampelbein: That didn't work and I still have to do 'sudo dhclient eth0'
[17:08] <ActionParsnip> Asif: you can run unity in LXDE if you want
[17:08] <jameslord> how to filter login logout msg
[17:08] <TehAndrew> how comes my fps i minecraft has dropped from about 150-180 fps to 40-50 fps? and i haven't changed anything
[17:08] <wrek-gar> as of now trying to get username and password set up dovecot-imapd
[17:08] <Asif> ok i got it.
[17:08] <wrek-gar> but no idea where it's at
[17:09] <clean> zykotick9: thanks, I'll try that
[17:09] <jameslord> hi
[17:09] <qin> jameslord: In /var/log/auth.log ?
[17:09] <zykotick9> clean, try what?  eol?
[17:09] <Asif> how do you quote others here...???
[17:09] <Myrtti> Asif: quote?
[17:10] <TheFuzzball> wrek-gar I haven't configured IMAP before, so I'm not going to be much help here, sorry.
[17:10] <gyyrog> Is anyone in here from the UK?
[17:10] <clean> zykotick9: try dist-upgrade to LTS
[17:10] <jameslord> no, i mean the rubish msg in chatting room
[17:10] <xangua> Asif: write their names, tab for autocomplete
[17:10] <ActionParsnip> Asif: type their name at the start, you can use TAB to autocomplete :)
[17:10] <Phr3d13> jameslord, what chat client?
[17:10] <wrek-gar> TheFuzzball: k
[17:10] <qin> jameslord: What client?
[17:10] <Ampelbein> szrfph: hmm, if you disable networking and reenable it in network-manager, can you paste the /var/log/syslog output?
[17:10] <zykotick9> clean, good luck with that.  personally fresh install would be my recommendation.
[17:10] <jameslord> pidgin
[17:10] <qin> jameslord: /help
[17:10] <jameslord> xchat have the same problem
[17:11] <clean> zykotick9: my last failure was caused by not enough disk space
[17:11] <Asif> ActionParsnip, ok i got it
[17:11] <ActionParsnip> jameslord: there is a plugin in pidgini. have the main window as active and select tool -> plugins
[17:11] <ActionParsnip> Asif: np man :)
[17:11] <clean> zykotick9: but i think fresh install require too much work after installation
[17:11] <qin> jameslord: xchat and irssi have /ignore so you can filter channel how you like. /j #xchat
[17:11] <zykotick9> clean, if you're already out of disk space - upgrading to a new version will not help, and will probably fail?!
[17:11] <TheFuzzball> gyyrog Yeah
[17:11] <szrfph> Ampelbein: by network-manager, I'm assuming you mean the network connections app in System > Preferences?
[17:12] <Asif> ActionParsnip, thank you this can be done with any irc client...???
[17:12] <HackerII> jameslord  also, on the #ubuntu  right click it for more settings
[17:12] <ActionParsnip> Asif: the tab completion, yeah its pretty standard
[17:12] <TehAndrew> [19:08] <TehAndrew> how comes my fps i minecraft has dropped from about 150-180 fps to 40-50 fps? and i haven't changed anything
[17:12] <clean> zykotick9: I know, I mean that the last time I tried to upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10,  it failed because disk space
[17:12] <Ampelbein> szrfph: yeah
[17:13] <clean> zykotick9: fresh install can lost many nice tools I have installed and configured
[17:13] <zykotick9> clean, honestly, i wish you luck and hope it works out.  i don't think upgrading from version to version in ubuntu is a particularly wise idea, but YMMV.
[17:13] <ActionParsnip> jameslord: its join/part hiding. If you read the list, you'd see it
[17:13] <clean> zykotick9: yes, I also thinks it no that safe to upgrade from one version to anther
[17:14] <TehAndrew> hello?
[17:14] <szrfph> Ampelbein: there's no option for me to enable/disable networking in the network connections manager
[17:14] <jameslord> what is the name of that plugin
[17:14] <clean> 6 month a version is too fast and frequent, upgrade and upgrade ...
[17:15] <Mark-Potter> Penis
[17:15] <Mark-Potter> clean: Then don't upgrade, buy a new computer
[17:15] <wrek-gar> TheFuzzball: is there a way to find the path to dovecot-imapd? no clue as to where it is
[17:15] <Mark-Potter> Use the search program
[17:15] <zykotick9> clean, three letters for ya L T S ;)
[17:15] <jameslord> wow, computer is cheap in these days
[17:15] <Ampelbein> szrfph: oh, right, you have to use the applet in the are left from the clokc
[17:16] <TheFuzzball> wrek-gar All over the place :) It'll be installed to /usr, and the config files will be in /etc
[17:16] <jameslord> (1:16:16) MnemonicCarrier<EMAIL_ADDRESS>entered
[17:16] <clean> zykotick9: I am considering fresh install of server LTS, they support 5 years long
[17:16] <TehAndrew> help please?
[17:16] <jameslord> i hate such msg generated by the system
[17:16] <Mark-Potter> jameslord: Wow, your mum's fat these days
[17:16] <Mark-Potter> XD
[17:16] <Phr3d13> TehAndrew, just ask your question
[17:16] <ActionParsnip> jameslord: as I said, join/part hiding is the name
[17:16] <HackerII> mark, supwithat
[17:16] <zykotick9> clean, don't bother!  the packages you want: X, desktop apps, etc are only supported 3 years - same as Desktop!
[17:16] <xangua> clean: 3 years for desktop, 5 for server
[17:17] <tim> how can i make thunderbird as my email program in the "tray"? it loads evolution when i click on email =(
[17:17] <clean> zykotick9: really? 5 for server
[17:17] <szrfph> Ampelbein: hmm, it's not there for some reason. It appears to have disappeared. Could I run the app from the terminal?
[17:17] <jameslord> join/part just highlight the newest msg
[17:17] <TehAndrew> well, once again: my fps in minecraft has dropped from about 150-180 fps to 40-50 fps, ubuntu 10.10 (i haven't changed any settings since before it happened, i even tried reinstalling ubuntu)
[17:17] <jameslord> it does not filter the system msg
[17:17] <ActionParsnip> tim: you can use alltray to put apps inn the system tray or you can use the thunderbird tray addon
[17:17] <zykotick9> clean, some real "server" packages are supported for 5 years yes, but much of the repository is NOT
[17:18] <Ampelbein> szrfph: you are on 11.04? 'sudo apt-get install indicator-network' should do
[17:18] <Phr3d13> tim, system > Preferences > Preferred Applications
[17:18] <clean> zykotick9: oh, ok...
[17:18] <jameslord> i can ignore somebody's msg
[17:18] <szrfph> Ampelbein: I'm running ubuntu 10.04 LTS
[17:18] <jameslord> but i cannot ignore the system's , why?
[17:19] <clean> szrfph: you can still have 2 years support ?
[17:19] <clean> LTS may be my best choice
[17:19] <zykotick9> clean, ubuntu's lts desktop is probably the longest supported "desktop" version - that you don't have to RH for ;)
[17:19] <xangua> tim there are addons to integrate thunderbird to the message menu
[17:19] <tim> Phr3d13 i set thunderbird my preferred email program, but when i click on the email icon on the top of the desk it loads evo
[17:19] <xangua> indicator
[17:20] <Ampelbein> szrfph: oh, then right-clcik on the panel, see if indicator-applet and 'notification area' are there
[17:20] <tim> when i uninstall evo it loads nothing ^
[17:20] <zykotick9> clean, s/have to RH for/have to pay RH for/
[17:20] <clean> zykotick9: hmmm thanks:p
[17:20] <py9371> what is the difference between a A- and an A and a A+ or a C- c and a C+
[17:21] <py9371> like what are the letters that make them different?
[17:21] <szrfph> Yes, they are Ampelbein. ALl that're there is a mail indicator, volume control and dropbox indicator.
[17:22] <Phr3d13> jameslord, right click on #ubuntu in xchat > settings > Hide Join/Part Messages
[17:22] <Ampelbein> szrfph: what you can try is 'gconftool – -recursive-unset /apps/panel' that will reset your panels
[17:23] <Myrtti> py9371: in what context?
[17:23] <odium> I have ubuntu on a usb drive, where is the grub configuration hiding?
[17:23] <jameslord> i am using pidgim
[17:23] <odium> it's not in /boot/grub
[17:23] <jameslord> no such option
[17:23] <Ampelbein> szrfph: then do 'rm -rf ~/.gconf/apps/panel' followed by 'pkill gnome-panel'
[17:23] <Ampelbein> szrfph: be aware that you will loose panel customizations
[17:23] <HackerII> jameslord  in plugins there is
[17:24] <HackerII> if not, go to synaptic and load the extras
[17:24] <szrfph> Ampelbein: before I do this, it may be worth mentioning, that there's no 'network indicator' applet present if I right click on the bar, and go to 'Add to panel..'
[17:24] <dhenson714> heyyyy, this is where i come for easy help, right?
[17:24] <jameslord> i find it , thank you:)
[17:24] <HackerII> ok
[17:24] <soreau> dhenson714: sure
[17:25] <ActionParsnip> jameslord: http://libraryvoice.com/uploads/meebo_plugins_pidgin.jpg   notice the top plugin listed, you may have to scroll the plugins list a bit. It is default installed in every distribution I have ever tried
[17:25] <jameslord> hi , HackerII
[17:25] <HackerII> hi
[17:25] <xangua> jameslord: install the pidgin-plugin-pack, or it was the purple-plugin-pack¿ anyways is in repository
[17:25] <ActionParsnip> Ampelbein: try using ubottu with:   !panels   ;)
[17:25] <wildc4rd> evenin all
[17:25] <xangua> jameslord: then restart pidgin and activate the Hide join/leaves plugin
[17:25] <dhenson714> i'm trying to download virtualbox, and i'm not sure which architecture i need. my options are i386 and amd64. i checked my box and as far as i can tell, i've got i686... which do i pick?
[17:25] <ActionParsnip> dhenson714: what is the output of:  uname -m
[17:26] <TehAndrew> no response?
[17:26] <dhenson714> i686
[17:26] <Ampelbein> ActionParsnip: oh, neat.
[17:26] <odium> how might I install a bootloader on a sd card ?
[17:26] <ActionParsnip> dhenson714: then 32bit
[17:26] <jameslord> thanks, ActionParsnip
[17:26] <Ampelbein> szrfph: do you have network-manager-gnome installed?
[17:26] <dhenson714> action: idt thats an option. like i said, either i386 or amd64
[17:26] <KM0201> odium: use the advanced setup tool, and choose the sd card as the target for the bootloader install
[17:26] <jameslord> now i am ruing pidgim on Windows XP who is hosted on VMWare
[17:26] <ActionParsnip> dhenson714: i386 == 43bit
[17:27] <ActionParsnip> 32bit sorry
[17:27] <KM0201> ActionParsnip: lol
[17:27] <dhenson714> got it. thanks a ton!
[17:27] <odium> KM0201:  but it doesn't let me change what options for booting
[17:27] <KM0201> odium: what do you mean?
[17:27] <Guest21535> i have plugged an ipod into my usb port.  how do I know what device it is to mount it?
[17:27] <szrfph> I do, yes Ampelbein
[17:27] <mang0|AFK> ActionParsnip: wait wut. I´ve got the i386 kernal, (I think!). But my computer is 32bit....
[17:27] <mang0|AFK> oops!
[17:27] <mang0|AFK> i686*
[17:28] <odium> KM0201:  wait where is this advanced setup too?
[17:28] <odium> tool
[17:28] <KM0201> you use it during install.
[17:28] <ActionParsnip> mang0: it will be i686 kernel
[17:28] <Ampelbein> szrfph: then try resetting and it should work.
[17:28] <KM0201> i don't know how to do it after you've already installed.
[17:28] <ActionParsnip> mang0: i686 is also 32bit
[17:28] <odium> KM0201 I have already installed
[17:28] <mang0> oooh
[17:28] <TehAndrew> Phr3d13: so now?
[17:28] <mang0> gotcha
[17:28] <szrfph> Ampelbein: resetting what and how?
[17:28] <odium> I just want lilo or grub on a sd card
[17:28] <KM0201> odium: ah ok, i don't know how to fix it at this point... do you already have grub on the hard drive?
[17:28] <ActionParsnip> dhasenan: if you add the virtualbox ppa, you will get what you need and the app will also update when the ppa gets updated too :)
[17:28] <Ampelbein> !panels | szrfph
[17:29] <armence__> Hello all. My screen is currently locked. My cursor is displayed as a "resize" cursor. I cannot type anything in the password box. I am logged on to another terminal. How do I force unlock the screen? (I have sudoer access)
[17:29] <mang0> Anyone here use dropbox? (on ubuntu)
[17:29] <TehAndrew> answer me.
[17:29] <ActionParsnip> mang0: I do
[17:29] <snalakf> w123
[17:29] <szrfph> Ahh, that worked Ampelbein
[17:29] <wagstaffj> when i plug in an ipod, how do i determine the dev so that i can mount it?
[17:30] <szrfph> Panel says that networking is disabled.
[17:30] <Ampelbein> szrfph: ok, that's the reason then.
[17:30] <mang0> ActionParsnip: I´ve downloaded the stuff, but it wont install....
[17:30] <ActionParsnip> mang0: just install the deb file from the dropbox site and it willd it's thing
[17:31] <Ampelbein> szrfph: though I don't know how that can happen. If you enable it there and reboot all should be fine.
[17:31] <mang0> ActionParsnip: the deb isn't working ;__; I'll try again though
[17:31] <ActionParsnip> mang0: what is the output of:  uname -m; lsb-release -d
[17:31] <Phr3d13> TehAndrew, did you try logging out and in or restarting?
[17:31] <TehAndrew> i've tried reinstalling ubuntu without success
[17:32] <TehAndrew> and then i ran it clean with no other software than minecraft and the graphics drivers
[17:32] <TehAndrew> but i'm trying to install other drivers now
[17:32] <ActionParsnip> mang0: cd; wget http://www.dropbox.com/download?dl=packages/nautilus-dropbox_0.6.8_i386.deb; sudo dpkg -i ./nautilus-dropbox_0.6.8_i386.deb; rm ./nautilus-dropbox_0.6.8_i386.deb       If you are using 32bit
[17:32] <mang0> ActionParsnip: i686, then it says no command lsb-release
[17:33] <mang0> did you mean lsb_release
[17:33] <jameslord> Action is warm hearted lady :)
[17:33] <FaTHeRBaDTouCH> Hey guys...
[17:33] <FaTHeRBaDTouCH> The box says DVI Audio......
[17:33] <ActionParsnip> mang0: ok what is output from: head -n 3 /etc/lsb-release | tail -n 1
[17:33] <tzhuang> what's a good way to download a youtube video as mp3 on ubuntu
[17:34] <mang0> ActionParsnip: head -n 3 /etc/lsb-release | tail -n 1
[17:34] <mang0> oops
[17:34] <mang0> sorry
[17:34] <ActionParsnip> mang0: yes, run it in a termial
[17:34] <tzhuang> used keepvid on windows, but seems to be some trouble with java in ubuntu
[17:34] <xangua> tzhuang: lots of addons for firefox and chromium to do that
[17:34] <mang0> I got the wrong pase ActionParsnip DISTRIB_CODENAME=natty
[17:34] <ActionParsnip> tzhuang: I'd use: http://www.youtube-mp3.org/   ;)
[17:34] <xangua> there is algo a terminal app, but don't remember how is called tzhuang
[17:34] <ActionParsnip> mang0: that's cool. That command I gave with wget will install it ok
[17:34] <xangua> ooh as mp3
[17:35] <mang0> k
[17:35] <mang0> aha! It's working ActionParsnip, thanks :)

[17:36] <Summer29> hi
[17:36] <Dr_Willis> sew
[17:36] <meg_> hi
[17:36] <Helder> hi all
[17:37] <ActionParsnip> tzhuang: why use an app when a site can do it for you, means you don't need to install any apps or anything like that
[17:37] <Helder> would i get help on ubutnu
[17:38] <ActionParsnip> Helder: ask away
[17:38] <Helder> i want to make a distro based on ubuntu
[17:38] <Helder> for a friend of mine
[17:38] <Summer29> I have a problem with my touchpad, i used to open links in a new tab just pressing with two fingers on the link, now i can't. Any help? I use mozilla
[17:39] <noram> #ubuntu-es
[17:39] <Helder> with just a few applications like text editor office et
[17:39] <ActionParsnip> !remaster | Helder
[17:39] <KM0201> Helder: that's a considerable amount of work to "make a distro"... and not really a questionn for here..
[17:39] <segunda_hora> hello, I was wondering if remote desktop can be configured to allow remote authorization, ie. no user at the remote box (which I own)
[17:40] <KM0201> Helder: why not just do a minimal install, stick lxde on top of it, then install/remove what you need.. you don't get much lighter than lxde
[17:40] <meg_> Bye, people
[17:40] <Dr_Willis> lubuntu is about as lite as you can get . without cutting out features most people want
[17:40] <Helder> well i made one using https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization but it went above the size of a CD
[17:41] <Helder> i want it well below
[17:41] <Phr3d13> Helder, so burn it onto a dvd
[17:41] <ActionParsnip> Helder: could try xpud and use web apps like google docs
[17:41] <TehAndrew_> updating to the newest catalyst didn't solve it
[17:41] <TehAndrew_> :/
[17:41] <aLeSD> hi all
[17:41] <aLeSD> how to get the version of a package ?
[17:41] <Phr3d13> TehAndrew_, did you restart x?
[17:41] <viii> every so often my mouse hangs for anywhere from 5-30mins... rmmoding, and waiting 52 mins on psmouse seems to help for a bit... dmesg indicates
[17:41] <TehAndrew_> restart x?
[17:41] <Flannel> aLeSD: apt-cache policy packagename
[17:41] <ActionParsnip> aLeSD: apt-cache policy packagename
[17:42] <Helder> is there any developer IRC i can get to?
[17:42] <Dr_Willis> office/libreoffice. is a huge part of the disrto.. removeing that.. will save a bit of space. :)
[17:42] <Phr3d13> !devel
[17:42] <aLeSD> wow thanks
[17:42] <viii> that sync errors are occuring
[17:42] <ActionParsnip> viii: is it a mouse or touchpad?
[17:42] <Phr3d13> Helder, #ubuntu-devel
[17:43] <TehAndrew_> Phr3d13: restart x? means what?
[17:43] <Phr3d13> TehAndrew_, reboot your computer or hit Alt+SysReq+k
[17:43] <TehAndrew_> yeah i rebooted
[17:43] <TehAndrew_> i'm trying to downgrade my drivers now instead
[17:43] <Helder> thanks
[17:44] <Helder> off to the other IRC
[17:44] <trism> Helder: it describes how to make the cd smaller on that page, just uninstall apps you don't need: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization#Tasks (also includes a command to list packages by size)
[17:44] <viii> ActionParsnip, its a touchpad
[17:44] <Helder> thanks again for the help
[17:44] <ActionParsnip> viii: what make and model system?
[17:44]  * ActionParsnip bets sony vaio....
[17:44] <Helder> trism: i tried it still it went over
[17:44] <viii> ActionParsnip, is there a specifc cmdline i can run to give you the specifics? its a lenovo y470
[17:44] <segunda_hora> Does anyone have experience utilizing Remote Desktop?
[17:45] <ActionParsnip> viii: that's good enough. In future ADD that to your question. Its a crucial bit of information

[17:47] <erteet> is it possible to move the side to the bottom of the screen(ubuntu11.04)?

[17:47] <thezanke> using the newest ubuntu i had to reinstall alsa and pulse audio, how do i get the speaker icon back >_<
[17:48] <plazia> Is there a way with this unity thing on the left hand so to have it so when you click an icon of a running program it minimizes it?
[17:48] <dli> thezanke, I use a launcher for pavucontrol
[17:48] <tensorpudding> plazia: probably not
[17:48] <boban-nenad> hi
[17:48] <tensorpudding> it follows dock behavior, not taskbar behavior
[17:49] <tensorpudding> click only focuses or launches, never minimizes
[17:49] <plazia> tensorpudding, thanks for the informative if somewhat disappointing answer :)
[17:49] <ActionParsnip> viii: try the boot option:   i8024.reset    i8024.nopnp   i8024.nomux     irqpoll    try each one in turn
[17:49] <plazia> hmmm perhaps I should replace it with a proper dock then.
[17:49] <erteet> could i move the dock to the bottom of the screen?
[17:49] <tensorpudding> you can't remove it, or move it to the bottom of the screen
[17:49] <ActionParsnip> erteet: if you mean Unity, no
[17:49] <Asif> does anybody has an idea how can i print a PDF/bitmap-document over terminal? is there any command?

[17:50] <tzhuang> xangua: i know theres youtube-dl but it doesnt do mp3 format =(
[17:50] <tzhuang> ActionParsnip: thanks i'll give that a shot!
[17:50] <tensorpudding> Asif: if you have CUPS set up, probably lpr will work?
[17:50] <tensorpudding> CUPS provides a version of lpr that should work if you have a printer configured
[17:51] <viii> ActionParsnip, before i start rebooting with kern opts like a mad man... is there a place i can go to figure out what each does? like a man page

[17:53] <bleedingmonk> anybody knows a fix for this?
[17:53] <dli> Tetsuo55, does color look okay, if you print to file?
[17:53] <Tetsuo55> dli:  yes
[17:54] <ActionParsnip> viii: not sure there dude, but they are good with annoying touchpads. If you usepsmouse for your touchpad then try: options psmouse proto=exps    in /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.conf
[17:54] <Tetsuo55> color model options are: Greyscale(default), inverted greyscale, RGB color, CMY color, CMYK and KCMY
[17:54] <bleedingmonk> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/759627 this is the bug im talking about... :(
[17:55] <dli> Tetsuo55, if your printer can print test page by itself, try it
[17:55] <centHOGG> Tetsuo55: try another printing program, if that messes up in the same way it's prob the driver
[17:55] <Tetsuo55> centHOGG: what other option is there?
[17:55] <bleedingmonk> priority is 'low' for this issue?
[17:55] <centHOGG> try another prog
[17:55] <Tetsuo55> dli: test page is ok
[17:55] <paul__> hi all
[17:55] <segunda_hora> Dr_Willis does ubuntu's built in remote desktop only work over the local network? (when I attempt a connection, it says it was closed)

[17:58] <dli> Dazzled, if it hangs during bootup, try to disable 'quiet splash' in /etc/default/grub
[17:58] <raju> my system getting struck for every 15-20 min from this evening ,upto now i restarted it 4-5 times,10.10 working fine but 11.04 making the problem
[17:58] <raju> plz guys help me to get out of this
[17:58] <Dazzled> dli: it's worse than that. It's really dead
[17:58] <bleedingmonk> nobody uses a dual monitor with a virtual machine? or am i in the wrong place?
[17:59] <tensorpudding> raju: can you be more specific as to what happens
[17:59] <dli> Dazzled, happens only during booting, right? if it does boot up, no problem thereafter
[17:59] <centHOGG> you want your vm client to be dual-monitro?

[17:59] <bleedingmonk> the menu bar overlaps the screen...
[17:59] <Dazzled> I think the battery dislodged when I put it down :s
[18:00] <Dazzled> but I can't believe that would fry the mobo
[18:00] <centHOGG> ic
[18:00] <raju> tensorpudding:  thanks for responding . i am doing somw work like playing songs with browsing . and suddenly its getting struck after 15-20 min
[18:00] <tensorpudding> what is getting stuck
[18:00] <tensorpudding> what works, what doesn't
[18:01] <raju> tensorpudding: its hanging man
[18:01] <tensorpudding> can you move the mouse?
[18:01] <tensorpudding> can you click things?
[18:01] <tensorpudding> does alt-tab work?
[18:01] <raju> tensorpudding:  no man
[18:01] <tensorpudding> does it indicate cpu usage?
[18:01] <raju> nothing
[18:01] <segunda_hora> tensor is there a simple and secure way for me to log into my comoputer remotely? I have no experience with networking..
[18:01] <Dr_Willis> segunda_hora:  vnc is not secure  to use over the internet. Unless you want to use a ssh tunnle. vino/vinigre is a vnc variant thats built into Gnome. Youmay want to check out freenx. or that other free-desktop thing i never can rember. they got a web site and clients for linux/windows/
[18:01] <tensorpudding> does ctrl+alt+f1 work?
[18:01] <raju> everything will be hanged
[18:02] <bleedingmonk> centHOGG, no clue? this bug is present in almost every possible version of unity released todate
[18:02] <segunda_hora> Dr: thanks
[18:02] <bleedingmonk> :(
[18:02] <Dr_Willis> segunda_hora:  learn to use ssh.. its worth the effort.. then you can get a remote terminal from anywhere
[18:02] <centHOGG> yeah sorry
[18:02] <centHOGG> <LTS ubuntu server
[18:02] <dli> Dazzled, it always shuts it off, or more like random
[18:02] <raju> tensorpudding:  i have tried ctrl+alt+del for restart
[18:02] <tensorpudding> segunda_hora: vnc isn't entirely secure
[18:02] <raju> but that also not wrkng
[18:02] <Dazzled> dli: always (the last few times I tried)
[18:03] <tensorpudding> raju: does ctrl+alt+f1 do anything
[18:03] <Dazzled> dli, I get nothing of text, no boot screen
[18:03] <dli> Dazzled, not due to overheating?
[18:03] <Dazzled> dli, I secretly hope it's that, but it never did that before
[18:03] <bleedingmonk> Dr_Willis, man i know for sure you would have a Virtual Machine running on Unity... what do you do with the unity title bar when VM goes fullscreen
[18:04] <terxx> dli: hou old is de machine
[18:04] <raju> tensorpudding:  do you wanna make me check now
[18:04] <dli> Dazzled, unplug power, takeout battery, leave it to cool down
[18:04] <Dazzled> dli, ah, k, will go do that
[18:04] <Dazzled> dli, thanks
[18:04] <tensorpudding> raju: i guess you have to wait for the problem to manifest itself
[18:04] <plazia> Why is it in 11.04 the terminal/console resolution now is so low It used to be like 1024x768 but now it seems like 640x480 as the writing is massive.
[18:04] <Mark-Potter> Sorry about earlier
[18:04] <ActionParsnip> Dazzled: whe the battery is out, hold the power button a while
[18:05] <tensorpudding> raju: i have random annoying problems with 11.04, and have filed multiple bugs against it, including something which seems like a hard lock, but ctrl+alt+f1 works
[18:05] <Mark-Potter> My bad, I should not have made such outrageous remarks
[18:05] <dli> plazia, can you do run xrandr in terminal?
[18:05] <terxx> dli: maybe you gave to undust the laptop
[18:05] <cyperbg> guys, are SATA drives equally compatible with Ubuntu as IDE?
[18:05] <raju> tensorpudding:  yeah at the third  hanging i placed let it be for some time but it didnt
[18:05] <tensorpudding> raju: if it works, i then log in and do a 'sudo service gdm restart', and it restarts the gnome session
[18:05] <ActionParsnip> cyperbg: technically both are IDE
[18:05] <user> tensorpudding: Why don't you use aptosid?
[18:06] <plazia> dli, I don't mean terminals in x I mean like the linux console/terminal when you press like ctrl+alt+f1
[18:06] <ActionParsnip> cyperbg: as long as the controller is detected ok, the connected drive will work
[18:06] <cyperbg> ActionParsnip, what do you mean by that?
[18:06] <ActionParsnip> cyperbg: IDE is the Integrated Drive Electronic
[18:06] <Dazzled> ActionParsnip,  ah ok, will go do that
[18:06] <ActionParsnip> cyperbg: if you look at both IDE and SATA drives, they BOTH have IDEs
[18:06] <tensorpudding> user: i don't know what aptosid is, and i don't think it's what i want
[18:06] <raju> tensorpudding:  ok amn , if hanged again then i will try this , tell me how to file a bug
[18:07] <user> tensorpudding: debian unstable packaged and with some custom scripts
[18:07] <Dazzled> The machine made a small drop (less than the height of a finger) when I removed my headset cable from under it
[18:07] <pietr101> hey, can you recommend any good cheap sata 2 port multiplier, that fully works with linux?
[18:07] <Dazzled> then the screen froze
[18:07] <tensorpudding> user: that sounds like totally not what i want
[18:07] <Dazzled> and when I rebooted it, it did that
[18:07] <Dazzled> only when I turned it around, I saw the battery was dislodged
[18:07] <ActionParsnip> cyperbg: old drives used to rely purely on the controller for intelligence. Then new drives got an added IDE with cache and abilities, this made them a tonne faster, the IDE analogy just stuck but when people say IDE, they really mean PATA
[18:07] <ronqbc> what do you think about that? http://paste.ubuntu.com/645952/
[18:07] <Dazzled> clicked it back in, but no change yet
[18:08] <ActionParsnip> cyperbg: Parallel ATA, then ewer drives using Serial bus (SATA) were made
[18:08] <tensorpudding> raju: you have to create an account on launchpad
[18:08] <Dazzled> now off to hold the power button
[18:08] <user> tensorpudding: Why not reallY?
[18:08] <cyperbg> ActionParsnip oh yes PATA then :)
[18:08] <tensorpudding> raju:
[18:08] <tensorpudding> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs
[18:08] <raju> tensorpudding:  i had it
[18:08] <user> tensorpudding: It is pretty awesome really
[18:08] <raju> tensorpudding:  thank you
[18:08] <ActionParsnip> cyperbg: ;)   yes it will work provided the controller on the motherboard etc is picked up (should be fine)
[18:08] <tensorpudding> user: debian unstable is "rolling release" in a sense, which is not what i want
[18:08] <cyperbg> ActionParsnip do you think this is just a myth: destroying a flash drive when using ext4?
[18:09] <tensorpudding> user: it won't have unity, which i like
[18:09] <magpii> trying to download ubuntu studio and i keep getting this message "W: Failed to fetch http://mirror.as29550.net/archive.ubuntu.com/pool/main/g/gdebi/gdebi-core_0.7.0_all.deb   Hash Sum mismatch" can anyone help please
[18:09] <tensorpudding> user: it won't support ubuntu packages, which would mean i'd lose the flexibility of PPAs
[18:09] <user> tensorpudding: PPAs? And unity isn't any fun
[18:09] <tensorpudding> !ppa
[18:09] <TehAndrew> hey Alt+SysRq+K locked up the entire system
[18:10] <ActionParsnip> cyperbg: the journal gets written to a lot, there are tweaks for etx4 to make it nicer. Ext2 doesn't have a journal and may be friendlier.
[18:10] <tensorpudding> launchpad allows you to easily create your own and host them
[18:10] <ronqbc> what do you think about that? http://paste.ubuntu.com/645952/
[18:10] <user> tensorpudding: doesn't sound usefull, I run my own respitory
[18:10] <centHOGG> makes u appreciate reiserfs a bit
[18:10] <tensorpudding> it's essentially running your own repository, but you get the benefits of launchpad
[18:10] <Infernet> hey all
[18:10] <cyperbg> ActionParsnip, that is my dillemma: either use a flash drive with ext2 or SATA hard disk
[18:11] <tensorpudding> you can host them there, host the projects there
[18:11] <tensorpudding> other lp users can see your packages, and search for them
[18:11] <dli> cyperbg, btrfs is designed with SSD/flash in consideration, but btrfs is not stable enough yet
[18:11] <tensorpudding> anyway, i disagree on unity
[18:11] <ActionParsnip> cyperbg: depends how much space you need and how much cash you have
[18:12] <Arm0ur> Um, In Openbox, how do you set a single window as undecorated ?
[18:12] <Dr_Willis> ive yet to trash a usb flash drive with ext3   but i guess it all depends on how much you use it.
[18:12] <tensorpudding> using debian would restrict my choices
[18:12] <segunda_hora> tensor: brace for newb question, where do I find the IP to put in 'ssh -v <IP>'
[18:12] <Arm0ur> I need a single window of my choice to be undecorated
[18:12] <ActionParsnip> Arm0ur: compiz can do that
[18:12] <Dr_Willis> Arm0ur:  check the openbox docs.. it may not be possible.
[18:12] <tensorpudding> segunda_hora: what are you trying to do?
[18:12] <primeras> hi my english isn't very well. i have one rar files (php files in there). php files will not come out rar file
[18:12] <segunda_hora> tensor: I just installed openssh-server, now I want to try connecting over that but I'm thinking "localhost" isn't the answer
[18:12] <cyperbg> ActionParsnip: the machine will be a dedicated mining rig for Bitcoins, so working 24/7. I like the flash drive, as the case is custom built wooden frame, so it more convenient with the usb drive
[18:12] <ActionParsnip> Arm0ur: if you use openbox then you should be able to right click the app and select remove decoration
[18:13] <dli> primeras, can open it file-roller (or unrar)
[18:13] <tensorpudding> segunda_hora: is your local ip address a private area address?
[18:13] <Arm0ur> ActionParsn : I don't want to use Compiz, though I'm running cairo-compmgr
[18:13] <tensorpudding> segunda_hora: you can use hostnames, that's much easier
[18:13] <bleedingmonk> :(
[18:13] <Dazzled> dli, any idea how long a cool down can take?
[18:13] <bleedingmonk> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/759627 need some help fixing this
[18:13] <Arm0ur> ActionParsn: My idea is to list all shortcuts I use in a text file and call up that with a keystroke :)
[18:13] <ronqbc> what do you think about that? http://paste.ubuntu.com/645952/
[18:14] <tensorpudding> segunda_hora: generally, the way to determine a publically-routable IP address is to use a service like www.whatismyip.com/
[18:14] <dli> Dazzled, depend on temperature difference, I will wait for half an hour or longer
[18:15] <tensorpudding> segunda_hora: if you're behind a router providing a local area network, it gives you an address in the 192.168.1.X or 10.10.X.X or similar range
[18:15] <tensorpudding> segunda_hora: the router itself is assigned an IP address by your ISP, which is shared for all machines connected to it using Network Address Translation (NAT)
[18:15] <primeras> dli, unrar don't work
[18:15] <dli> segunda_hora, to find out: do something like: sudo ip address list
[18:16] <ministerdude> Help please
[18:16] <user> tensorpudding: But I've been using aptosid for a little while, I am in luuuuuv
[18:16] <tensorpudding> segunda_hora: localhost is a synonym for <IP_ADDRESS>, which always refers to the local machine
[18:16] <terxx> segunda_hora: -v = verbose and the ip is probaly the ip of the machine you want "ssh" to
[18:17] <dli> primeras, please try to avoid vague comments like 'doesn't work', it helps to provide detailed and specific info, like the exact error messages
[18:17] <ActionParsnip> cyperbg: could put the working folder in a ram drive to reduce writes on the drive
[18:18] <Dazzled> tensorpudding, would a 'whatsmyip' service not always return the routable address?
[18:18] <centHOGG> is that easily done?
[18:18] <Dr_Willis> primeras:  whats the exact command you used?
[18:18] <primeras> http://pastebin.com/WtcgPNzm
[18:18] <primeras> Dr_Willis,
[18:18] <primeras> http://pastebin.com/WtcgPNzm
[18:18] <tensorpudding> Dazzled: yes, it would
[18:19] <cyperbg> ActionParsnip can you direct me to a guide of how to do that?
[18:19] <Dr_Willis> primeras:  try extracting it with the rar nonfree binary,  if 'unrar' failed.
[18:19] <centHOGG> yeah I'd like to see that myself
[18:20] <bleedingmonk> Dr_Willis,
[18:20] <bleedingmonk> :(
[18:20] <Dr_Willis> bleedingmonk:  Huh?
[18:20] <bleedingmonk> fix for overlap of ubuntu menu bar?
[18:20] <bleedingmonk> with fullscreen apps like vmware?
[18:20] <Dazzled> thanks for the help guys, I'm about to try rebooting my laptop, but I need this HDD to do that, so cya later:)
[18:20] <Dr_Willis> I dont use vmware.. but if using a VM. be sure to install the proper guest addations...
[18:20] <daviddoria> I had an nvidia card installed, but it broke, so I removed it. I am now using my onboard video. However, I keep getting errors about missing glx. From some things I found online, it looked like I needed to change the driver in the xorg.conf, but I don't know what to change it to?

[18:22] <JasFasolka> About that Indicator Applet in launchpad ... can I somehow configure it? I want it to use thunderbird and other communicator than provided one ... possible?

[18:22] <Infernet>
[18:23] <xangua> JasFasolka: search in mozilla's addon site for addons for the message menu

[18:23] <segunda_hora> tensor/Dr: I believe I have SSH server configured and NX server/client installed but I'm still unclear on what the hostname is
[18:23] <centHOGG> unity = not ready yet
[18:24] <tensorpudding> they're either able to use unity and hate it, or unable to use it and wan tit
[18:24] <Dr_Willis> segunda_hora:  use the ip# perhaps?
[18:24] <tensorpudding> but either way they're complaining about it
[18:24] <bleedingmonk> anyway thanks, at least you cared to admit you didn't use or knew about it :) your a gem in this community
[18:24] <tensorpudding> segunda_hora: what is the hostname of the machine?

[18:26] <cyperbg> can someone write my nick to check if my flashlight option is working
[18:26] <Dr_Willis> armednready:  you need a tutorial to make a text file with 20 lines in it? :)   then  sh thetextfile
[18:26] <tensorpudding> unless the network that you're server machine is on has a dns domain that the client is aware of, you'll have to use ip address
[18:26] <tensorpudding> but if there's NAT involved, you'll need to do port forwarding on the server end

[18:26] <Infernet> B-Ronnow: run the central update
[18:27] <KM0201> B-Ronnow: 3.6?  what version of Ubuntu did you install?  ubuntu 11.04 installs w/ 5
[18:27] <segunda_hora> tensor: so assuming that I am using "inet addr:" under ifconfig and that fails I must forward some ports?
[18:27] <tensorpudding> segunda_hora: what kind of network in the server on? is it behind a NAT?
[18:27] <B-Ronnow> i did install 10,10
[18:27] <mang0> sudo apt-get install java
[18:27] <mang0> will that get me java so I can run minecraft?
[18:27] <B-Ronnow> i had big problems with 11,04
[18:27] <segunda_hora> tensor: I truly don't know
[18:27] <tensorpudding> segunda_hora: what is the type of address ifconfig tells you
[18:27] <KM0201> B-Ronnow: did you have probs w/ 11.04, or did you have problems w/ unity, there's a huge difference
[18:28] <tensorpudding> segunda_hora: is this residential internet? do you have a router that connects to your DSL, cable, fiber etc. connection
[18:28] <terxx> does anybody know how to put a label in the panel with a bash, i use "zenity" now but it kan only put a icon on the panel.
[18:28] <Infernet> that's rigth
[18:28] <Infernet> ubuntu is the same
[18:28] <wan26> L
[18:28] <segunda_hora> tensor: I'm plugged directly into the wall on my server and it is residential/apartment network
[18:28] <B-Ronnow> when i installed skype i lost sound and navigation
[18:28] <urbanlime> Hi, I saved a 700Mb Video in /dev/shm for torrent seeding, (my ram is 3gb, my /dev/shm folder is 1.5gb in size). however when I delete the file after I uploaded it, it does not free up the disk space in /dev/shm, and I currently only have 807Mb left in /dev/shm. The only way to fix this is to restart my computer, but is it possible to automatically restore the space to 1.5gb without having to restart the computer?
[18:28] <JasFasolka> Also, getting firewall quickly configured in GUFW (outgoing allow + incoming deny) is enough for an average ubuntu user?
[18:28] <tensorpudding> segunda_hora: what does ifconfig say your ip address is?
[18:28] <B-Ronnow> but now i have it on 10.10 with no problem
[18:29] <segunda_hora> tensor: pastebin.com/XyeD1sNP
[18:29] <KM0201> B-Ronnow: weird, i have skype on Lubuntu 11.04, no issues at all.
[18:29] <Dr_Willis> JasFasolka:  i would say the average  ubuntu user - dosent need to mess with a firewall at all.
[18:29] <ministerdude> Assistance please
[18:29] <centHOGG> Dr_Willis: concur
[18:29] <B-Ronnow> KM_ thats weird..
[18:29] <segunda_hora> ministerdude just fire away with your questions around here...
[18:30] <wan26> Hello
[18:30] <ministerdude> How can I fully remove WINE
[18:30] <KM0201> B-Ronnow: my guess is, you had issues completely unrelated to skype... i'd be willing to bet Unity was th eproblem, but that is strictly a guess
[18:30] <JasFasolka> I just turned it on and it actually configured itself so I guess it's alright ...
[18:30] <cafaro> I'm trying to increase my /home partition with gparted, but I get an error about corrupt superblock when applying. But the partition works fine under Linux. What could I be doing wrong? Sorry if I'm asking this in the wrong channel.
[18:30] <dli> ministerdude, the folder ~/.wine/
[18:30] <KM0201> ministerdude: sudo apt-get remove wine, then delete the /.wine folder
[18:30] <ministerdude> just type that directly into terminal?
[18:30] <B-Ronnow> KM: I coundlt access any links or folders..
[18:30] <centHOGG> cafaro: what's your fs
[18:31] <cafaro> centHOGG: ext4
[18:31] <KM0201> B-Ronnow: dunno
[18:31] <Dr_Willis> ministerdude:  theres removing wine from the system.. then removing any wine configs in teh users home... 2 differnt things...
[18:31] <KM0201> !tab > B-Ronnow
[18:31] <centHOGG> cafaro: yeah i never had luck resizing ext
[18:31] <dAnjou> hey, nautilus has this "Tags" dialog for files now (i think it's new in natty). where is the code for this?
[18:32] <cafaro> centHOGG: Is there any way to do this?
[18:32] <terxx> ministerdude: try sudo apt-get purge wine
[18:32] <ministerdude> I'm looking for out of the system. It doesn't work
[18:32] <tensorpudding> segunda_hora: okay, that address is not private
[18:32] <Infernet> B-Ronnow: try apt-get remove firefox and then install again
[18:32] <tensorpudding> segunda_hora: so using it for ssh should work
[18:32] <centHOGG> well, i like acronis.. but you'd prob have the same issue there.. see ext4 is the newest ext
[18:32] <KM0201> or apt-get upgrade firefox
[18:32] <tensorpudding> segunda_hora: are you sure that openssh is running on the server, that there is no firewall running, or that if there is a firewall running, that port 22 is not blocked?
[18:33] <Infernet> KM0201: Unity sucks
[18:33] <Infernet> :(
[18:33] <B-Ronnow> Infernet: i will try to find that apt-get upgade
[18:33] <segunda_hora> tensor: yes to openssh, no to the firewall (fresh ubuntu install), confirming here, we're talking 64.***.***.74 right
[18:33] <centHOGG> unity = not ready yet
[18:33] <KM0201> Infernet: i don't disagreee there... :_
[18:33] <ministerdude> now. how do I instal xmms and have it actually work
[18:33] <urbanlime> i dont like unity, gnome is better
[18:33] <TehAndrew> okay, now i fixed the fps in minecraft, but now my sound is off sync
[18:34] <KM0201> ministerdude: xmms is obsolete
[18:34] <centHOGG> ministerdude: xmms!!
[18:34] <centHOGG> xmms2
[18:34] <KM0201> !info xmms2 | ministerdude
[18:34] <KM0201> it's a command line utility.
[18:34] <tensorpudding> ministerdude: xmms is gone, try audacious
[18:34] <dli> ministerdude, there's audacious, or xmms2
[18:34] <tensorpudding> segunda_hora: yes
[18:34] <KM0201> if you liked th eold xmms, use audacious, very similar.
[18:34] <tensorpudding> segunda_hora: that's what you get on the server right?
[18:34] <segunda_hora> tensor: unreachable, "no route to host"
[18:34] <ministerdude> I'm looking for a winamp similar platform :)
[18:34] <centHOGG> ministerdude: did you start the xmms2 server
[18:34] <segunda_hora> yes indeed
[18:34] <centHOGG> yeah try qmms
[18:35] <KM0201> ministerdude: audacious should probably do well.
[18:35] <tensorpudding> segunda_hora: your client is connected to the real internet, right?
[18:35] <KM0201> !info qmms
[18:35] <nylon100> Do I need to configure my router settings for port 22 in order to connect via ssh to a local computer from a remote machine?
[18:35] <centHOGG> idk the name q-something
[18:35] <ministerdude> can I get that from the software center?
[18:35] <segunda_hora> I am talking to you via the client
[18:35] <JasFasolka> is it just me or ubuntu 11.04 seems ... BIG.
[18:35] <tensorpudding> nylon100: if you're on a NAT network, yes
[18:35] <centHOGG> type in winamp in the synaptic search
[18:35] <urbanlime> Hi, I saved a 700Mb Video in /dev/shm for torrent seeding, (my ram is 3gb, my /dev/shm folder is 1.5gb in size). however when I delete the file after I uploaded it after a week or so, it does not free up the virtual disk space in /dev/shm, and I currently only have 807Mb left in /dev/shm. The only way to fix this is to restart my computer, but is it possible to automatically restore the space to 1.5gb without having to re
[18:35] <urbanlime> start the computer?
[18:35] <tensorpudding> nylon100: you need to configure your router to forward the port 22 to the machine you want to ssh to
[18:35] <KM0201> ministerdude: get what in software center?  audacious?  yes
[18:36] <dli> nylon100, if your computers are not on public IPs, the router should be running public IP
[18:36] <ministerdude> audacious
[18:36] <tensorpudding> nylon100: think of the router as a secretary, which will route the "give me port 22" request to the right machine
[18:36] <B-Ronnow> What is Kubuntu ?
[18:36] <JasFasolka> Also, when in ubuntu 11.04 I can set default mail + browser?
[18:36] <KM0201> ministerdude: yes, audacious is in the repos
[18:36] <KM0201> B-Ronnow: it's ubuntu, but w/ kDE.. it sucks to.
[18:36] <Dazzled> nope, machine's dead allright :/
[18:36] <tensorpudding> segunda_hora: i'm not sure what would cause that error. on the server, using the www.whatsmyip.com service, you get the same ip address right?
[18:36] <ministerdude> awesome :) brb
[18:36] <B-Ronnow> KM0201: hmmm thanks
[18:37] <nylon100> tensorpudding: dli: Thanks.
[18:37] <tensorpudding> JasFasolka: yes
[18:37] <KM0201> B-Ronnow: if you want a nice, light, desktop , check out lubuntu
[18:37] <KM0201> !lubuntu | B-Ronnow
[18:37] <tensorpudding> JasFasolka: check out Preferred Applications
[18:37] <JasFasolka> ok thx ... for now :)
[18:37] <segunda_hora> tensor: yes
[18:38] <dli> nylon100, I run openvpn, so, I can connect to all my computers, whenever I get connected, no need to be worried about NAT after openVPN up
[18:38] <tensorpudding> segunda_hora: i'm afraid i don't know why you'd get that route error then
[18:38] <tensorpudding> segunda_hora: can you ping that address
[18:38] <B-Ronnow> KM0201: I want it config so i can make php and Joomla sites and some wordpress.. butt got tired of microsoft
[18:38] <ministerdude> Has anyone here used an iphone jailbreaker through linux?
[18:39] <centHOGG> heh
[18:39] <tensorpudding> segunda_hora: you might try running zenmap on the ip address from the client, to see if it's got ports open
[18:39] <KM0201> B-Ronnow: well, what GUI you use, is irrelevant to that... (i would think... i'm not familiar with either)
[18:39] <KM0201> if ubuntu can do it, it doesn't matter which *buntu you try.
[18:39] <segunda_hora> tensor: Ping fails; destination host unreachable
[18:40] <tensorpudding> segunda_hora: can you ping <IP_ADDRESS>
[18:40] <ministerdude> I need a linux based jailbreaker so I can fully sync my iphone. since apple/itunes hates us
[18:40] <segunda_hora> tensor: affirmative
[18:40] <ikonia> ministerdude: sorry, that's not going to happen
[18:41] <tensorpudding> segunda_hora: okay
[18:41] <KM0201> B-Ronnow: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/34637444/laptop.jpg  it's got a good clean interface
[18:41] <DCal05> i personally run xp in virtualbox to sync my ipod touch
[18:41] <tensorpudding> segunda_hora: i don't suppose your two machines are separated by great distance
[18:41] <tensorpudding> segunda_hora: or slow connections
[18:41] <ministerdude> I need to dual boot is what I need to do :D
[18:41] <tensorpudding> it could have been a timeout
[18:41] <segunda_hora> tensor: atm they are on the same network but ideally I want to be across town
[18:41] <ministerdude> Then I can use itunes properly
[18:42] <tensorpudding> segunda_hora: for what it's worth, i can ping your server just fine
[18:42] <tensorpudding> moreover, i can telnet to port 22 and see your ssh server
[18:42] <segunda_hora> tensor: thanks for that; I will assume it's something with the router on my client
[18:43] <KM0201> ministerdude: keepign a small partition for xp and using it for itunes/zune software, etc.. is a vviable option.
[18:44] <KM0201> ministerdude: just keep your music/videos, etc.. on a partition that windows can see
[18:45] <DCal05> does anyone know where i can find a sound package or something for xchat?
[18:45] <centHOGG> why it doesn't beep enough for yah
[18:45] <DCal05> nope there are no sound files there
[18:46] <armednready> Dr_Willis: How to create a script which will run a program that accept 3 argument e.g ./run 1.a 1.b 1.c ?
[18:46] <cyperbg> guys, what is the process/processes which reads/writes most to the disk?
[18:46] <viii> hihi, im running natty on a lenovo y470 and my touchpad will ranomly freeze and die ... dmesg says [  206.031361] psmouse.c: TouchPad at isa0060/serio1/input0 lost synchronization, throwing 2 bytes away.

[18:46] <Bipul> is there anyway to know the details of user when he is log in my ubuntu via ssh
[18:46] <dli> Bipul, the command: who
[18:46] <JasFasolka> Another thing. Whenever I do some update and then want to quit the terminal it gives me something liek this "There's a proccess runing in this terminal. Closing terminal will end the proccess" (my translate). Every goddamn time, what the hell
[18:47] <Dr_Willis> armednready:  this is when you should go spend half an hr reading the advanced-bash-scripting guide.. it will show you exactly how to read arguments and properly parse them.
[18:47] <Dr_Willis> !abs | armednready
[18:47] <dli> Bipul, also, ssh login should be logged in auth.log
[18:47] <Assassino12> Visual effects tab is not in appearance where can I find it V11.04 ?
[18:47] <Flannel> JasFasolka: the stuff you run in terminals is run "from" those terminals, and if you close the terminals, the programs close.  That's just the way it works.
[18:48] <Bipul> bipul    pts/0        2011-07-18 00:14 (75-129-226-138.dhcp.mtvr.il.charter.com)
[18:48] <Bipul> can i dig more about this IP
[18:48] <Dr_Willis> JasFasolka:  use somthiung like 'command &' then use the 'exit' command . DONT just use the close button.
[18:48] <JasFasolka> So this message will pop up every time?
[18:48] <JasFasolka> ok ...
[18:48] <viii> Flannel, u can alsways detach programs from terms if u need them to keep running
[18:48] <Dr_Willis> JasFasolka:  just get in the habbit of never using the terminals close button.
[18:48] <terxx> JasFasolka: check nohup
[18:48] <JasFasolka> It never happened in lubuntu before
[18:48] <Dr_Willis> JasFasolka:  also check out bash job controll docs some time.
[18:48] <terxx> JasFasolka: or screen
[18:49] <Bipul> bipul    pts/0        2011-07-18 00:14 (75-129-226-138.dhcp.mtvr.il.charter.com) <<< how can i know more about this server he log into my ubuntu
[18:49] <Flannel> viii: oh, there's a few ways of getting around it
[18:49] <Dr_Willis> JasFasolka:  it may depend on the terminal app if it warns or not.. some may just close and kill the running apps.
[18:49] <viii> terxx, most people use screen for the wrong reasons, unless u need to rejoin the screen later.. just use disown
[18:50] <ministerdude> I LOVE this music player. Thank you :D
[18:51] <KM0201> ministerdude: which one? audacious?..
[18:51] <terxx> viii: tanx for the tip
[18:51] <JasFasolka> "check nohup" - how? Im not running english version ... plus Im noob
[18:52] <terxx> JasFasolka: man nohup
[18:52] <Dr_Willis> JasFasolka:  you may want to start with a read of the bash docs/guides out on the topic of 'bash job controll'
[18:52] <terxx> JasFasolka: type man "nohup" in your terminal
[18:53] <mayanks43> hi there
[18:53] <mayanks43> i recently updated
[18:53] <JasFasolka> and?
[18:53] <mayanks43> and now my xerver insnt starting'
[18:53] <terxx> JasFasolka: olso "man disown"
[18:53] <mayanks43> startx segfaults
[18:54] <centHOGG> welcome to linux
[18:54] <mayanks43> Failed to load module xtrap (module does not exist, 0)
[18:54] <JasFasolka> man disown doesnt work at all
[18:55] <JasFasolka> jesus, all this chaos
[18:55] <Assassino12> what's the best way to learn to use the terminal ?
[18:55] <terxx> JasFasolka: if you rubn a command with nohub it wil not die when kill your terminal
[18:55] <terxx> JasFasolka: *run
[18:56] <terxx> JasFasolka: apt-get install disown or google
[18:56] <JasFasolka> so u mean i gotta type nohup before any command or what
[18:56] <JasFasolka> so confused, lol
[18:57] <Python> lol
[18:58] <Wantstolearn> Hi.Apps doesnt show up when minimized   ubuntu 11.04 unity
[18:58] <terxx>  JasFasolka: if you start a process in a terminal then the terminal is teh "parant" of the process, with disown you can chang the this.
[18:58] <Wantstolearn> what going on
[18:58] <Wantstolearn> the little white glow
[18:58] <akels> Hello. I have laptop hp compaq 6715b and I am looking for replacement battery. On the battery there is written [[Series HSTNN-DB28],[for use with hp series hstnn-103c, hstnn105c, hstnn-i12c, hstnn-127c, hstnn-c12c, hstnn-c18c, hstnn-c31c],[part number 408545-262]] What is important information when I am buying the battery which is compatible with my laptop?
[18:58] <JasFasolka> i can even install disown through terminal, it says it couldnt find a package or something
[18:58] <Wantstolearn> and when i do win+e its not there
[18:59] <Wantstolearn> but when i go to system monitor its there
[18:59] <cafaro> What does the number after a man page title denote? e.g., cfdisk(8)
[18:59] <JasFasolka> would it be a harm if I would just use "exit" after any update?
[18:59] <Python> akels: ask at #hardware
[18:59] <Wantstolearn> this happend last two dayes
[18:59] <JasFasolka> seems easier
[18:59] <dli> cafaro, like man 8 cfdisk , as usual, do "man man'
[18:59] <terxx> JasFasolka: so u mean i gotta type nohup before any command or what << if you want the process to live if you close the terminal, you have.
[19:00] <PuffTMD> hey all just a quick one, how can I do a secure delete in ubuntu
[19:00] <PuffTMD> ?
[19:00] <JasFasolka> the thing is i don't know what process is living lol.
[19:01] <JasFasolka> I dont mind if some process I opened on desktop get closed
[19:01] <JasFasolka> I'm just worried if there's some "inside" process that's going on and I don't know what is it
[19:02] <dli> PuffTMD, there's no simple undelete if you are running ext4 fs, still if security is a live or die importance, you'd better run on encrypted fs
[19:03] <PuffTMD> dli, thanks no live or die have some files I want to delete and in windows had a secure delete tool to help make it not so easy to restore
[19:05] <dli> PuffTMD, I don't know any way to restore deleted files in ext4
[19:05] <terxx> JasFasolka: do a "ps aux"
[19:05] <dli> PuffTMD, it was possible in ext2 to undelete
[19:05] <PuffTMD> dli, appreciate your help mate :D
[19:05] <Dr_Willis> sometimes possible. :)
[19:05] <terxx> JasFasolka: it show al proceses
[19:06] <JasFasolka> isn't much for a noob like me, but ok
[19:06] <JasFasolka> ill try to look around, thx
[19:06] <gawainlee> hello!
[19:06] <Dr_Willis> JasFasolka:  somt times you just have yto break down and read some guides.. and learn the fundamentals
[19:07] <cyperbg> guys, my current installation sits on a USB flash drive. If I copy everything from it to another flash drive and swap them will that work?
[19:07] <Dr_Willis> cyperbg:  ive done that via 'dd' befor and it worked...
[19:07] <JasFasolka> I guess. It's hard for a Windows native though.
[19:08] <JasFasolka> Plus I got kind of paranoia and I always expect the worst
[19:08] <gawainlee>  I first time use ubuntu, is somewhere has teaching video?
[19:08] <Dr_Willis> JasFasolka:  thats  the 'windows mindset' you need to break out of.
[19:08] <Golgeye_Ovgu> hi
[19:08] <Dr_Willis> !manual | gawainlee
[19:08] <cyperbg> Dr_Willis, would it be a problem that the current installation sits on a 16GB drive and I would like to copy it on a 8GB drive?
[19:08] <gawainlee> !manual
[19:08] <Dr_Willis> gawainlee:  that manual is a bit out of date for unity. (11.04) but it has some good core info.
[19:08] <Dr_Willis> cyperbg:  that makes it a bit harder...
[19:09] <JasFasolka> Yes, I know. It's mostly terminal that gives me the troubles though. Someday I will get it right I hope.
[19:09] <cyperbg> Dr_Willis do you mind helping me :)
[19:09] <Dr_Willis> cyperbg:  the reverse direction would be much easier
[19:09] <b33r> Hello I just installed 11.04 and want to install sun java jre but I can't find it in repos? what to do =[
[19:09] <Dr_Willis> cyperbg:  resize your existing down to under 8gb via gparted, then dd it.. perhaps.
[19:09] <Dr_Willis> !java | b33r
[19:09] <Dr_Willis> b33r:  its in the partners repository.
[19:10] <irule> hi, I have a xerox printer that only works with a samsung driver, it works, the problem is that after the printer is disconnected, and then reconnected, the printer setup goes back to the xerox driver that does not work, how may I fix this? thanks! :)
[19:10] <anadon> Grub2 won't recognize my windows installation, and "sudo update-grub" won't get it to recognize it either.
[19:10] <cyperbg> Dr_Willis, let me check what size is the current partition - probably it isn't 16GB
[19:10] <JasFasolka> So one last thing, silly one: any ideas why my audacity, when I move it, is super slow?
[19:10] <b33r> !partner
[19:11] <tjingboem> i cannot make a ssh connection anymore. is this a known pronlem atm?
[19:11] <mang0> omg. Firefox is using up like, 84% of my RAM
[19:11] <mang0> ugh
[19:11] <mang0> I need a lighter browser, any suggestions?
[19:11] <Wantstolearn> chromium
[19:11] <Dr_Willis> mang0:   its possible its flash using all the ram..
[19:11] <terxx> quit
[19:11] <mang0> Dr_Willis: I've got one fb page open
[19:11] <CadeSkywalker> Opera
[19:11] <cyperbg> Dr_Willis, ext4 is 12.92GB, Used 3.27 and Swap is 2GB + Unallocated 1MB
[19:11] <mang0> opera sounds good. CadeSkywalker Is opera light?
[19:12] <plazia> mango I have it open here with several extensions and plugins and tabs open and it's using 1.3 GiB RAM.
[19:12] <CadeSkywalker> the last version is optimised
[19:12] <mang0> O.O
[19:12] <Hyperbyte> mang0, Opera is not light. :)
[19:12] <Dr_Willis> cyperbg:  so use  gparted to resize it to like 4gb. and dd it over.. swap you can add later easially enough
[19:12] <plazia> chromium-browser is fairly lightweight though
[19:12] <mang0> firefox: I love it, but it's such a resources hog
[19:12] <mang0> plazia: do you mean g chrome? or soemthing else?
[19:13] <CadeSkywalker> mang0: just try
[19:14] <mang0> okay, I'll try both
[19:14] <mang0> lol
[19:14] <ziikutv> is it possible to resize a wubi install?
[19:14] <b33r> Thank you Dr_Willis <3
[19:15] <b33r> one more question about 11.04 why when I'm updating it also uploads I mean I downloaded 150MB and it says I uploaded 50MB?

[19:18] <Bipul> some one has access my computer via ssh  how can i know his location
[19:18] <b33r> CadeSkywalker, firefox?
[19:18] <Bipul> and his activity
[19:18] <CadeSkywalker> b33r: Opera
[19:19] <b33r> CadeSkywalker, 32 or 64bit? 64 bit use more ram I think
[19:19] <CadeSkywalker> 64bits Linux distrib
[19:22] <ph8> in the standard gnome terminal app i can't drag and drop a tab, i have to 'move left' several times - it's running lucid, is this fixed in future versions?

[19:24] <Wantstolearn> how to install gnome 3 on ubuntu 11.04 properly
[19:25] <itaylor57> !gnome3 | Wantstolearn
[19:25] <plazia> Anyone else in 11.04 and an XFi soundcard not getting any sound out of the center and subwoofer speakers? Seems to be a bug relating to it here. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/677067 Any solutions?
[19:27] <ziikutv> What filesystem does Ubuntu USE?
[19:27] <ph8> depends
[19:27] <ph8> ext4 generally
[19:27] <ph8> but you can choose several at install/partition time
[19:27] <ziikutv> I have a wubi install..
[19:27] <ziikutv> and I parition which I want to put that install in (as I dont have space in this install)
[19:28] <ziikutv> I was going to place my wubi install on this parition is that possible?
[19:28] <richardjprice> hello, is anyone able to give me advice on my radeon/ubuntu problem?
[19:28] <jrib> ziikutv: wubi just creates a file on a windows partition
[19:28] <ph8> richardjprice, ask and though might receive
[19:28] <OerHeks> ziikutv, no, you need to reinstall side by side
[19:28] <ziikutv> I see thanks.
[19:28] <Bipul> some one know my ssh login how can i change it
[19:29] <richardjprice> ati and ubuntu not playing ball, black screen if proprietary driver is active, but system hangs otherwise
[19:29] <ziikutv> i guess I should merge the parition with windows parition
[19:29] <ikonia> Bipul: change the password
[19:29] <dli> RichardBronosky, which card?
[19:29] <richardjprice> so i got black screen or system hanging
[19:29] <ronqbc> how can i export the contacts from gmail to evolution?

[19:31] <FunnyManPatrick> Hello
[19:32] <FunnyManPatrick> Im trying to add a network to my ubuntu laptop on a livecd boot but it wants a keyring password
[19:33] <dli> FunnyManPatrick, can you keep the passwd box empty?
[19:33] <FunnyManPatrick> it will not let me dli
[19:33] <dli> FunnyManPatrick, is it a CD or usb-stick
[19:33] <FunnyManPatrick> cd
[19:33] <tzhuang> hello. any chromium users out there
[19:33] <PuffTMD> tzhuang: I use it
[19:34] <FunnyManPatrick> tzhuang: i will use it once i get online
[19:34] <mang0> what's the IRC client in opera like?
[19:34] <tzhuang> PuffTMD: the downloads bar at the bottom, after i download an mp3, when i click the file, i want it open thru banshee, do you know how i cna configure that
[19:35] <FunnyManPatrick> dli: if it helps its the 'Default' keyring
[19:35] <stefan_> hello
[19:35] <aeon-ltd> mang0: tried in #opera?
[19:35] <PuffTMD> tzhuang: I don't soz, but it sounds like banshee is not the default for the os which is why it is not opening up in that, what is it opening up in.
[19:35] <stefan_> why does sending in channel ##opengl not work:(
[19:35] <dli> FunnyManPatrick, it should accept empty passwd, so, stored plaintext
[19:35] <mang0> lol, aeon-ltd no, I should've guessed hehe. Oh well, it's downloaded now
[19:36] <Taffflash> hey guys
[19:36] <mang0> stefan_: you need to register your nick
[19:36] <aeon-ltd> stefan_: not registered?
[19:36] <Taffflash> i needto?
[19:36] <stefan_> ah thanks! how can I do this?
[19:36] <mang0>  /ns register pass email, or email pass I can't remember
[19:37] <FunnyManPatrick> dli: it brings the screen back up with the message "The unlock password was incorrect" above the text feild
[19:37] <KM0201> !register | stefan_
[19:37] <iceroot> where does lxde (lubuntu-desktop) stores the config? i though there would be something like ~/.lxde but there is only gnome2 which is also installed
[19:37] <mang0> !register > stefa
[19:37] <mang0> haha
[19:37] <tzhuang> PuffTMD: its opening in movie player. im using natty 11.04 and it banshee should be system default
[19:37] <stefan_> thanks
[19:38] <dli> FunnyManPatrick, can you go to ~/.gnome2/keyrings/
[19:38] <PuffTMD> tzhuang: have u tried opening the file from within banshee
[19:39] <FunnyManPatrick> im new to ubuntu and linux, i am not sure how to open command prompt
[19:39] <Monotoko> hey guys...I'm having a problem with VirtualBox...guest additions are installed into a Windows XP guest, but whenever I go to "Devices" -> "USB Devices" they are all blanked out (Ubuntu Host)
[19:39] <plouffe> What is the best way to clone my current ubuntu system with installed programs, configurations, and home directory onto a new computer?
[19:40] <tjingboem> i just tried opera...it's pretty fast!
[19:40] <Taffflash> guys im new to linux and just installed ubuntu and im lost lol
[19:40] <ayush_> Why should a dual-booter do a "proper" ubuntu installation instead of through wubi? In other words, how is a "proper" installation better (for both, the user and ubuntu community/canonical)? Please help.
[19:41] <dli> plouffe, cp all partitions over, by 'cp -avxAH' or use partimage
[19:41] <tzhuang> PuffTMD: opening from within banshee is fine
[19:41] <FunnyManPatrick> If the other OS is gonew there are more resources for the other, ayush
[19:41] <tzhuang> i'd like to be able to open it from chromium tho
[19:41] <aeon-ltd> ayush_: allows proper managment of paritions as a whole, if the windows partition is corrupted you may still boot into ubuntu, it's faster (though less noticable on newer pcs, those on fast SATA and SSDs won't notice much)
[19:42] <plouffe> dli, I wouldn't do an install on the new computer at all?
[19:42] <isteve___> how to know which all fonts are installed in my ubuntu . i mean is there any command to know that?
[19:43] <KM0201> !fonts | isteve___
[19:43] <dli> plouffe, no need
[19:43] <Taffflash> can anyone see my msg's?
[19:43] <centHOGG> god can
[19:43] <aeon-ltd> isteve___: not sure how to do it as a whole, but some are included as packages, others may be installed in your userspace as well as system wide(system is /usr/share/fonts)
[19:43] <aeon-ltd> Taffflash: yeah we hear ya
[19:43] <plouffe> dli, what about grub?
[19:44] <Taffflash> ok hehe
[19:44] <dli> plouffe, depends on how fast you can transfer files
[19:44] <dli> plouffe, you need to fix /etc/fstab, and do 'grub-install' and 'update-grub'
[19:44] <isteve___> KM0201 : its font and not fonts but i need to know the name and not the fonts.. font just shows abc written in various fonts but not the name
[19:44] <Taffflash> im new to this linux and just installed ubuntu and im lost lol
[19:45] <Taffflash> can anyone help me please?
[19:45] <cozziemoto> isteve___,  not sure there is a command. at least none that I am aware of, however,, if you install   font-manager  it is the best font manager  even across distributions,, you can enable and disable fonts on the fly
[19:45] <aeon-ltd> Taffflash: just ask don't ask to ask
[19:45] <dli> !ask | Taffflash
[19:45] <cozziemoto> isteve___,  I meant across  platforms
[19:46] <FunnyManPatrick> dli, after a few tries of blank it owrked thank yo0u very much
[19:46] <Taffflash> ok well my windows crashed so i had a guts full of that and i found a cd with linux on and i just installed this lol
[19:46] <BernardV> Taffflash: You are lost..? Where do you want help?
[19:46] <Taffflash> do i look for the new version?
[19:46] <Taffflash> and dl that now?
[19:46] <plouffe> dli, I'll give it a go. I run update-grub from a live cd then?
[19:46] <BernardV> Taffflash: *CLAP*
[19:47] <Taffflash> How can I tell what version of ubuntu im on lol
[19:47] <rww> Taffflash: lsb_release -a
[19:47] <Taffflash> I want the latest version
[19:47] <dli> plouffe, so, the way would be: booting liveUSB on both computers, make new partitions(if needed) on new computers, use a network cable to connect two computers (for speed), mount partitions on both, set up network, rsync,
[19:47] <KM0201> Taffflash: well, what does lsb_release -a
[19:47] <Taffflash> i dont understand lol
[19:47] <dli> plouffe, rsync -avxAH
[19:48] <dli> plouffe, after that, chroot on the new computer, fix /etc/fstab, run grub-install and update-grub
[19:48] <isteve___> Tafafflash : the latest version is 11.04 , though 11.10 is about to be release in oct AND is in development period so dont install that
[19:48] <BernardV> Taffflash: If you just installed this version and it's not the latest version (check with the command rww gave) I would reinstall with the latest instead of upgrading. Not that it's not going to work, but imo it leaves some data you don't need.
[19:48] <dli> plouffe, pay attention to your /boot (partition or folder in / ?)
[19:49] <john_rambo> I used to do zypper wp (what provides) in openSUSE ..... How to do that in aptitude ?
[19:49]  * BernardV likes clean installs
[19:49] <KM0201> Taffflash: did you install ubuntu, or are you asking how to install ubuntu?
[19:49]  * KM0201 agrees with BernardV
[19:49] <Jordan_U> john_rambo: apt-file search /path/to/needed/file
[19:50] <Taffflash> i did install it from cd I found on my cd pile that i downloaded ages ago
[19:50] <Taffflash> im new to all this lol
[19:50] <Jordan_U> john_rambo: Or for already installed packages "dpkg -S /path/to/file".
[19:50] <Taffflash> and what to know if i got the latest version before i start installing stuff?
[19:50] <KM0201> Taffflash: opena  terminal (application/accessories/terminal) and type "lsb_release -a" no quotes, and hit enter.. make sure there's a space after release
[19:51] <Taffflash> Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS
[19:51] <KM0201> Taffflash: ok, thats the current long term support,  you can either upgrade 10.04 to 10.10, then upgrade 10.10 to 11.04, or clean install 11.04 (thats what i would do)
[19:52] <KM0201> if you want the current version
[19:52] <BernardV> Ah.. Not the latest, but also not the worst you could have.. it's the LTS (Long Time Support) version.
[19:52] <Taffflash> I will clean install 11.04
[19:52] <BernardV> My last comment was for Taffflash .. forgot to mention the name
[19:52] <macs> someone help me i get this error when using apt-get http://pastie.org/private/youvhasyhjzqc95fgnh0rq
[19:53] <Taffflash> once i did that i will come back and ask for help if thatis ok guys?
[19:53] <KM0201> Taffflash: ok, just pay attention, and make sure you install 11.04 OVER 10.04, rather than beside it.
[19:53] <Taffflash> can i installfrom a usb stick?
[19:53] <KM0201> Taffflash: well why wouldn't it be OK?
[19:53] <KM0201> Taffflash: yes,
[19:53] <Cna|2> pierdolicie hipolicie
[19:53] <KM0201> there's instructions on ubuntu.com to install from USB
[19:53] <macs> please help =[
[19:54] <Taffflash> km im downloading the lastest one you said then going for theclean install
[19:54] <KM0201> ok
[19:54] <Taffflash> i will be back in a awhile once it is all installed:)
[19:54] <aeon-ltd> macs: no macs.
[19:54] <BernardV> macs: Try "apt-cache search gcc" and look at the package name, maybe something like "gcc-4.1" and then install gcc-4.1 instead of "gcc"
[19:54] <Taffflash> thanksguys
[19:54] <aeon-ltd> macs: nah i'm kidding ask away
[19:54] <macs> ty =D
[19:54] <KM0201> Taffflash: np, good luck
[19:54] <ayush_> I downloaded the new adobe flash player beta 11 tar.gz file for 64-bit linux. Now what do I do to install?
[19:55] <Taffflash> i dont need it i got you  guys lol
[19:55] <aeon-ltd> ayush_: is this the source?
[19:55] <ayush_> aeon-ltd: no. the compiled binary.
[19:55] <KM0201> you probably put it in /.mozilla/firefox/plugins
[19:56]  * BernardV lolled at aeon-ltd .. and won't tell on which OS I'm on right now :P
[19:56] <plouffe_> dli, could I use liveCD instead of liveUSB as well?
[19:56] <dli> plouffe_, no problem, liveUSB is faster and more convenient for me
[19:57] <dli> plouffe_, I guess your computers are not too old to be directly connected by an ethernet cable
[19:58] <plouffe> dli, I would connect them to a router
[19:58] <plouffe> dli, not sure about setting up direct connection
[19:59] <dli> plouffe, good enough, hope the router won't slow it down
[19:59] <dli> plouffe, quite easy, just set it to what ever local IP within one subnet
[19:59] <mang0> Is there a way to link all my gmail accounts into one? So all the emails to all of them come into one account's inbox?
[19:59] <dli> plouffe, you don't need DNS, or even gateway here
[19:59] <oCean> mang0: that's not an ubuntu issue, right?
[19:59] <jrib> mang0: you can forward your e-mail but this is not an ubuntu question
[20:00] <mang0> argh
[20:00] <Mandrew> anyone seen instapaper as an app or some like it for ubuntu?
[20:00] <mang0> jrib, tab?
[20:00] <dli> plouffe, for example, one computer to <IP_ADDRESS>/24, another to <IP_ADDRESS>/24
[20:00] <plouffe> dli, ok, and I can just use the normal ethernet cable
[20:00] <plouffe> Maybe I'll try that
[20:01] <dli> plouffe, you will need to install rsync (ssh) on livecd, if not included
[20:02] <plouffe> dli, thanks a lot for your help. Now I'll wait for the new one to arrive and start moving
[20:02] <dli> plouffe, to install any package, you need public network
[20:02] <dli> plouffe, you can for direct connection after apt-get
[20:06] <plouffe> dli, do I need to do anything about the swap partition?
[20:07] <dli> plouffe, just make it a swap partition, since you have to make all partitions manually
[20:07] <plouffe> dli, so that would be part of fixing the /etc/fstab
[20:07] <dli> plouffe, and modify fstab according to new partitions (UUID)
[20:08] <dli> plouffe, you have to make all partitions first, before getting UUIDs
[20:09] <Byan> anyone know ubuntu 11.04's kernel off hand?
[20:09] <plouffe> dli, yes, I think I understand the process now
[20:10] <HackerII> Byan  uname -a
[20:10] <Byan> HackerII: lets pretend the live cd is hard locking on me...
[20:10] <HackerII> D`oh!

[20:13] <edbian> ?
[20:13] <jrib> Hi, pulseaudio seems to randomly choose to not recognize my soundcard and only shows dummy output.  How can I troubleshoot why?  More specifically, I need to run startx anywhere from 1 to 5+ times (killing pulseaudio after logging out) to get it to work.
[20:18] <rww> edbian: not that I've ever seen.
[20:18] <edbian> rww: You can press ctrl + C and it will say what line it's on. That's the best I've seen.

[20:20] <nmaxchat> Good evening ladies and gentlemen... Printer problem with an HP 1018 on Lucid lynx 10.04. I get:  /usr/lib/cups/backend/hp failed     found some ansewrs on googl but am too dumb to get them to work 4 me. Printer is plugged in and prints under windows.
[20:21] <io> john_rambo: '$ sudo apt-get purge <package>; sudo apt-get install <package>'
[20:22] <nmaxchat> Am I on the right forum? , its awfully quiet here. Usually its bustling.
[20:22] <io> nmaxchat: please have a look at the page ubottu is sending you and then ask about errors here
[20:22] <io> ubottu: tell nmaxchat about printers
[20:23] <john_rambo> io, But using sudo apt-get purge <package> uninstalls all the packages which depens on the particlular package which is getting removed
[20:23] <oCean> jrib: I don't have a fix, but pulseaudio -k and pulseaudio -D to kill/restart might help you prevent the restart X
[20:23] <io> john_rambo: then tell it not too: '$ man apt-get'
[20:24] <jrib> oCean: I've tried not exiting X and just doing as you say (though not daemonizing pulseaudio) and the card never seems to show up.  So it may be some sort of session issue
[20:24] <john_rambo> io, ok ....trying
[20:26] <delinquentme> is USERGROUP the default group name in ubuntu ?
[20:26] <nmaxchat> io, Looked at those pages (above my head). Does not seem to address my problem. I found more specific answers on google but am stuck:
[20:27] <nmaxchat> io, I am at a point where it says: if this fails then open a terminal and type in 'hp-probe' without the quotes.
[20:27] <nmaxchat> When asked, enter the number that corresponds to your printer.
[20:27] <nmaxchat> io, How do I know which number ?
[20:28] <JohnMnemonic> only english?
[20:29] <oCean> jrib: you've seen this thread? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1517726
[20:29] <jrib> oCean: i'll take a look now, thank you
[20:30] <nmaxchat> Am I in the correctplace for my question ?
[20:31] <Tigerboy> What are the best email clients for ubuntu/debian ? Is evolution or claws or kmail worth looking at?
[20:31] <Maylow> hello
[20:31] <Myrtti> claws is nice, evolution is a bit heavy
[20:31] <dli> Tigerboy, thunderbird, btw, there's no 'best' as usual
[20:31] <rww> kmail <3
[20:31] <KM0201> Tigerboy: i'd go t-bird... but thats just me, thunderbird 3.0 is awesome
[20:31] <Maylow> I'm having issues with smbnetfs performance
[20:32] <Maylow> anyone familiar with this tool?
[20:32] <Maylow> i'ts really annoying, given that smbnetfs is slow, while the traditional SAMBA connections work fine
[20:33] <e_t_> Maylow: It is better to describe the "issues" you're having in detail.
[20:33] <Tigerboy> KM0201: thanks I agree have been using it. Have you tried Thunderbird 5.0
[20:33] <KM0201> don't think so.
[20:34] <Maylow> e_t_, I can see all PCs in the network, I can access them
[20:34] <e_t_> Maylow: That doesn't sound like a problem.
[20:34] <Maylow> e_t_, but when I'm browsing shares with deep directory trees, like some windows drives
[20:35] <Maylow> e_t_, it's very slow - 30 seconds to list 10 directories
[20:35] <Maylow> e_t_, tested with krusader, nautilus and gnome commander - it's the same
[20:35] <elocina> msg NickServ IDENTIFY e2l2J-e;
[20:36] <nmaxchat> hello, is this the main forum for ubuntu ? The forum I have been on in the past had more activity. Am I in the right place for a newbie ?
[20:36] <Maylow> e_t_, on the other hand, using the traditional samba (smb://...) the same shares are listed instantly
[20:36] <Maylow> e_t_, does this sound like a problem? :)
[20:37] <Maylow> anyone@
[20:37] <Maylow> ?
[20:37] <e_t_> Maylow: I've always gotten better performance from mounting a share via smbfs or cifs than I've ever gotten with a user-space tool.
[20:38] <Maylow> e_t_, the performance difference is enormous
[20:38] <Maylow> e_t_, could it be some kind of a setting?
[20:39] <delinquentme> how can i find my usergroup in ubuntu?
[20:39] <nmaxchat> join #kubuntu
[20:39] <e_t_> delinquentme: Give the "id" command in a terminal. It will tell you a lot about your user account.
[20:41] <WeThePeople> having trouble mounting... sudo mount /dev/sda#/media/118....?
[20:41] <WeThePeople> does that look correct
[20:41] <e_t_> Maylow: My gut reaction is to chalk it up to the difference between user-space and kernel-space (anybody with more knowledge, feel free to correct me). I'd say 'use what works and don't worry about what doesn't.'
[20:42] <dli> WeThePeople, if it's a removable, try something like: udisks --mount /dev/sdb2
[20:43] <Maylow> e_t_, smbnetfs is MUCH more convenient than the common samba
[20:44] <Maylow> e_t_, anyway...
[20:44] <delinquentme> uid=1000(unf-ubu) gid=1000(unf-ubu) groups=4(adm),20(dialout),24(cdrom),46(plugdev),105(lpadmin),119(admin),122(sambashare),1000(unf-ubu) << get this .. so is the group for my user "adm" ?
[20:45] <WeThePeople> dli, wow it worked..lol ill will be using that more often, thx
[20:45] <celthunder> delinquentme: adm and dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin admin samabashare unf-ubu
[20:45] <e_t_> delinquentme: The group for your user is "unf-ubu", the same as your user name. You are *also* in a bunch of other groups.
[20:46] <dli> WeThePeople, remember to unmount with: udisks --unmount

[20:49] <GreenDance> Hi, I would like to run some server side commands, I was hoping to create a web interface to do them, but I've been told doing the commands via a web interface is very insecure, so would it be better to do them just via ssh instead?
[20:49] <dli> GreenDance, yes, web-admin is a very bad idea :(
[20:50] <dli> GreenDance, if you can limit web interface to VPN, it should be secure
[20:50] <wildbat> GreenDance: if you really wanna do it ~ at least use HTTPS
[20:51] <progre55> HackerII: but apparently bmon only shows the interfaces and their rates, etc. not the applications using those rates..
[20:51] <progre55> or traffic
[20:53] <HackerII> i thought thats what u wanted, sry
[20:53] <progre55> hmm.. apparently it waf firefox.. and I was uploading ~700Kb/sec to somewhere, not sure where though
[20:53] <progre55> was*
[20:54] <progre55> let me analyze all the open tabs on ff
[20:54] <wildbat> progre55: make sure you don't have nasty plugin too
[20:54] <progre55> wildbat: thanks, I'll remove all the unnecessary ones
[20:57] <toro> he
[20:57] <toro> can anyone help me with a problem ive been having
[20:57] <toro> ?
[20:58] <wildbat> !anyone | toro
[20:58] <KM0201> Tigerboy: i just installed tbird 5.0.. it looks good.
[20:58] <JohnMnemonic> Why old banned masks on Ubuntus channel, 4 ex. from April, why they aren't unbanned anymore? Someone have forgotten about it? Sorry, my En. is really amateur.
[20:58] <knightbird> yeah no sh*t
[20:58] <toro> alright htis is more quite specific and im not sure where to go.
[20:58] <knightbird> woops, wrong chat
[20:59] <toro> im trying to split off some server functionality where I have a server used to house a website + a phone app that currently connects to it that runs scripts which connects to it
[20:59] <toro> these scripts run sql queries on a local db
[20:59] <toro> which return links to static images on the server
[21:00] <toro> just wondering how I should split this off because having all this on 1 server isn't ideal
[21:00] <toro> i guess this is more of a design problem is there another channel i should be in
[21:00] <toro> ?
[21:01] <knightbird> Maybe ask this on a developers forum or something toro?
[21:01] <knightbird> this seems like a PHP design convention problem thingy
[21:02] <toro> hmm yea thanks
[21:02] <RenatoSilva> I have updated the emerald package with a local version because it's not yet in the repo. How to know when it gets there in the repo?
[21:03] <knightbird> You don't
[21:03] <Dr_Willis> RenatoSilva:  im suprised you even found a updated package.. from what i hear.. emerald is basically a dead project.
[21:03] <Dr_Willis> RenatoSilva:  perhaps in the next release it will get updated.
[21:03] <Dr_Willis> Unless it ever appears in the backports repo.
[21:03] <KM0201> RenatoSilva: where did you find an "updated" emerald?
[21:03] <Dr_Willis> !emerald
[21:04] <RenatoSilva> KM0201: let me check, I think it was on a LP bug, but not sure. I recall trying some other version which didn't work...
[21:04]  * RenatoSilva has emerald and compiz working amazingly in Natty: http://www.videolog.tv/video.php?id=670508
[21:05] <[THC]AcidRain> i like how this client will tell me my lag
[21:05] <[THC]AcidRain> very nice
[21:05] <RenatoSilva> Dr_Willis: next release == 11.10?
[21:05] <Dr_Willis> RenatoSilva:  unless it gets delayed. :)
[21:05] <cntrational> TuxOnIce doesn't resume after hibernating, I just get a normal boot. What do I do?
[21:07] <ua> Var mı türkiyeden vatandaş :)
[21:07] <Seveas> !tr | ua
[21:08] <RenatoSilva> Dr_Willis: well updates to packages are not only delivered in distro upgrades. Emerald is indeed available in some kind of official repo, but not working. There are bugs on that. Iirc my update was taken from such bug. That is, the update is supposed to be released as soon as possible, just like every patching/fixing bug.
[21:08] <Dr_Willis> RenatoSilva:  offical in your case dosent mean 'ubuntu supported official' ?   unless you are meaning the backports repo?
[21:09] <Dr_Willis> but emerald is basically dead from what i gather.. time to move on.. :)
[21:09] <boododw> i have a question im completely changing everything on a m4a file but every time i play it the old information comes back up
[21:09] <Dr_Willis> !backports
[21:10] <boododw> is the information embeded somewhere?
[21:11] <boododw> also happening with a mp3 file
[21:12] <Architx> Is there a recycle bin in ubuntu server 11.04 and if so where can i find it, or set it up
[21:12] <Architx> ?
[21:13] <bobsomebody> is there something broken with the 10.04 + 11.04 server installers? Ive downloaded the ISO's 4 or 5 times for each version and burned at various speeds, 20 CD's later and I still dont have this thing past installing the base system.
[21:14] <wildbat> Architx: recycle bin are gnome thing ~ it in fact is just mv ~ if you use rm. you need data recovery tools
[21:14] <RenatoSilva> Dr_Willis: from the wiki: "backports will not receive review or updates from the Ubuntu security team itself". This means I rely on bugs going to upstream then back to backport maintainers to get it fixed? Got the doubt?
[21:14] <dli> Architx, also, it's better to set up a backup scheme, nothing can replace backup
[21:15] <bobsomebody> wildbat, are there any specific data recovery tools you would recomend for nix? Ive never had to do it yet but this is something good to know
[21:15] <Jeruvy> bobsomebody: did you verify the download prior to burning?  md5sum?
[21:16] <geirha> bobsomebody: The preferred way of data recovery is restoring from the backup you've don regularly.
[21:16] <Taffflash> hey
[21:16] <wildbat> !undelete| bobsomebody
[21:16] <bobsomebody> Jeruvy, I was trying to find those on the homepage but they are not as easy to locate as they where before. Seems they have dumbed down the homepage
[21:16] <Architx> wildbat: dli Thank you...i just wanted to be sure that no space was claimed by the recycle bin
[21:16] <Jeruvy> !md5sum | bobsomebody
[21:16] <Architx> what backup tool for ubuntu server do you suggest ?
[21:17] <Architx> wildbat: dli ?
[21:17] <Taffflash> Im having probs trying to copy the new os to usb stick
[21:17] <Taffflash> any tips?
[21:17] <miguel> hola
[21:17] <wildbat> Architx: tar
[21:17] <C_Smith> helo
[21:17] <dli> Architx, myself use rsnapshot, two servers backup each other, and other computers at home, every 6 hours
[21:17] <Guest11416> alguien que able español?
[21:18] <dli> !es | Guest11416
[21:18] <Architx> dli: wildbat thank you
[21:18] <bobsomebody> Jeruvy, I know how to do the md5 sums already I just cant find the ones for the current versions im trying to install
[21:19] <RenatoSilva> Dr_Willis: I think all apps in backport repo are also available as older versions in mainstream repos, no? BTW, the backport updates are unchecked here, and I still had emerald installed
[21:19] <Jeruvy> bobsomebody: oh sorry, you need the values to confirm do you?
[21:19] <bobsomebody> yes :)
[21:20] <Jeruvy> bobsomebody: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes
[21:20] <Dr_Willis> RenatoSilva:  normally only 'security' fix's get put in the normal updates..
[21:20] <Tigerboy> Is it true that Iceweasel "aurora" is now version 6x and beta is 5?

[21:22] <Ts_> hello, I recently upgraded from 1004 to 1010 and lost the use of my dvdrom.
[21:23] <jimubao> what is the best ide for php and general web developmen on ubuntu ?
[21:24] <NainConnu> server irc.epiknet.org/6667
[21:25] <coz_> jimcooncat,   maybe  geany.... gedit...sublime 2  eclipse
[21:25] <[THC]AcidRain> quick question. when a php script creates pages and pushes them back, whats that called?
[21:25] <[THC]AcidRain> not sure if im explaining it properly
[21:25] <Ts_> hello, I recently upgraded from 1004 to 1010 and lost the use of my dvdrom.
[21:26] <RenatoSilva> how to know where certain package is in the official repos? Because I have a newer version, so synaptic reports it as local
[21:26] <Taffflash> guys can you help me find my cd drive as i cant find it on this os?
[21:27] <Taffflash> im trying for the last hour to make a usb stick so i can install a new version of ubuntu but its crashing all the time
[21:28] <Dr_Willis> normally the cd is /dev/sr0 and a link from /dev/cdrom  points to it.
[21:28] <Taffflash> also i not got a blank cd so can i burn it to dvd? if so the version of ubuntu im running now isnt finding my dvd drive...any tips please?
[21:29] <Dr_Willis> I dont get what you are saying Taffflash... You are on a live cd? or what exactly?
[21:29] <Taffflash> i got ubuntu in stalled now but want to upgrade it to the new one
[21:29] <Dr_Willis> Taffflash:  you wish to upgrade from teh cd, not via downloading packages?
[21:30] <[THC]AcidRain> Taffflash: i have bad experience upgrading from download packages
[21:30] <Dr_Willis> Taffflash:  only the alternative cd can work as a repo for upgradeing... not the desktop cd.
[21:30] <Taffflash> all i want to do is install new verstion
[21:30] <Taffflash> how can i do it please?
[21:30] <[THC]AcidRain> ubuntu.com
[21:30] <Dr_Willis> Taffflash:  'install' would imply  booting the cd.. and running the installer.. thats not the same as 'upgradeing'
[21:31] <wildbat> is there is tools that can transprently bidirectionally sync two folders.?
[21:31] <[THC]AcidRain> http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download
[21:31] <Taffflash> ok i just installed ubuntu today from cd i was old it is a old version
[21:31] <Dr_Willis> wildbat:  most likely some of the 'fuse' tools can do that.
[21:31] <dli> wildbat, like unison ?
[21:31] <Taffflash> how do i get to new?
[21:31] <Dr_Willis> Taffflash:  and what version was it?
[21:31] <Taffflash> 10. something
[21:31] <[THC]AcidRain> 11.11 is the newest version
[21:31] <RenatoSilva> Dr_Willis: the local package name is emerald_0.8.8-0ubuntu0~malteworld1_i386.deb
[21:31] <Dr_Willis> 10.X is not that old...
[21:32] <[THC]AcidRain> i personally prefer 9.04
[21:32] <Taffflash> ok so how can i get new version?
[21:32] <Dr_Willis> 11.04 is the latest  'stable' release.
[21:32] <[THC]AcidRain> Dr_Willis: true
[21:32] <Dr_Willis> Taffflash:  download the latest cd/iso and reinstall.. would be the best way.
[21:32] <wildbat> dli: kind of be i need something more seamlessly,
[21:32] <Taffflash> i cant coz i not got a blank cd puls i cant from usb stick as it is crashing
[21:32] <Dr_Willis> Taffflash:  since doing a upgrade. would basically download everything  again.. you dont save a lot by upgrading a freshly done install.
[21:32] <Taffflash> any other way?
[21:33] <tertl3> Taffflash, netboot
[21:33] <tertl3> Taffflash, are you wired to internet?
[21:33] <wildbat> Dr_Willis: you happened to know which fuse package can do that ?
[21:33] <Dr_Willis> Taffflash:  do a upgrade to the next releae.. or not worry about it for now.
[21:33] <Dr_Willis> wildbat:  nope. the fuse homepage has a list of several dozen  filesystems that  can do all sorts of tricks.
[21:33] <Taffflash> im on ubuntu now on this chan
[21:33] <[THC]AcidRain> Taffflash: yeah id do what Dr_Willis is suggesting, easiest way
[21:34] <[THC]AcidRain> id probably burn one until you can find a cd to write to
[21:34] <Taffflash> ok how do i upgrade?
[21:34] <Dr_Willis> Taffflash:  so what version exactly are you using? 10.04 ?
[21:34] <Dr_Willis> !upgrade | Taffflash
[21:34] <Taffflash> howcan i tell?
[21:34] <boododw>  i have a question im completely changing everything on a m4a/mp3 files but every time i play it the old data comes back up?
[21:34] <[THC]AcidRain> boododw: is it an ipod?
[21:34] <boododw> no
[21:35] <[THC]AcidRain> what device?
[21:35] <boododw> i have music saved to my hd
[21:35] <boododw> i try modifying it
[21:35] <boododw> when i play the file it pulls up the old data
[21:35] <[THC]AcidRain> i know devices like ipods have to have their data stored in a certain way. or it will just earase everything and bring back the old archive.
[21:36] <barf> I try to put this: mv data-daily.xml data-$(date +%Y-%m-%d).xml in crontab
[21:36] <barf> But it does not work
[21:36] <boododw> i do put the song om my ipod and iphone
[21:36] <boododw> on*
[21:36] <[THC]AcidRain> my suggestion is to get an android device ;)
[21:36] <Taffflash> this is hard work
[21:37] <dli> barf, make the script in a file, then, cron runs the file
[21:37] <Taffflash> all i want to do is install new version
[21:37] <[THC]AcidRain> lol@ Taffflash
[21:37] <Dr_Willis> Taffflash:  you are worrying too much..   You can use the old version all you want. its not that old..
[21:37] <Dr_Willis> Taffflash:  untill you can track down a blank cd or 2. or manage to make a usb that works.
[21:37] <[THC]AcidRain> Taffflash: if it works. why fix it?
[21:37] <boododw> ugh
[21:38] <Dr_Willis> theres people that only stick with LTS versions.
[21:38] <Dr_Willis> !lts
[21:38] <Taffflash> is there a way  i can update it without burning to cd or with usb?
[21:38] <RenatoSilva> Dr_Willis: I think I download it from here: https://launchpad.net/~malteworld/+archive/compiz/+packages
[21:38] <Dr_Willis> Taffflash:  the package manager tools can update/upgrade to the next release.. but it will download perhaps 500+mb of packages
[21:38] <[THC]AcidRain> Taffflash: id try asking google
[21:39] <Dr_Willis> Taffflash:  and if your system is 10.04 and it works.. theres no real need to upgrade at this time.
[21:39] <Dr_Willis> Taffflash:  the ubuntu manual still covers that lts release.

[21:52] <jsebean> hi
[21:53] <iceroot> wildbat: maybe something like drbd
[21:53] <jsebean> how do i switch KDE plasma netbook to plasma desktop?
[21:53] <jsebean> running kubuntu
[21:54] <iceroot> wildbat: http://www.drbd.org/  but maybe a overkill
[21:54] <jsebean> anyone?
[21:54] <Taffflash> looks like im talking to myself
[21:55] <iceroot> Taffflash: what do you want to do? upgrade or create a usb-installer?
[21:55] <jsebean> how do i switch KDE plasma netbook to plasma desktop?
[21:55] <jsebean> anyone?
[21:55] <jsebean> running kubuntu
[21:55] <Taffflash> i tried to create a  usb-installer but it is crashing
[21:55] <Dr_Willis> I thought tghat !upgrade factoid showd how to upgrade a system to the next release
[21:55] <Dr_Willis> !upgrade
[21:55] <Mandrew> i want to purge the battery status indicator applet that is native in ubuntu 11.04. how do i do that
[21:56] <iceroot> Taffflash: any error-messages?
[21:56] <jsebean> how do i switch KDE plasma netbook to plasma desktop?
[21:56] <iceroot> jsebean: you can choose it at the login-screen which session to start
[21:56] <Dr_Willis> !update
[21:56] <wildbat> iceroot: something like that ~ but that's for block device ~ i need something folder level. but good to know that too ;>
[21:56] <Taffflash> no just slows right down and freeze
[21:56] <rww> jsebean: open System Settings and look in Workspaces or Activities or something like that. There's a dropdown for it.
[21:57] <rww> jsebean: (I don't have KDE handy, can't check)
[21:57] <iceroot> wildbat: the folders are on the same machine?
[21:57] <jsebean> thanks
[21:57] <wildbat> iceroot: nope
[21:57] <iceroot> wildbat: i bet rsync can do that
[21:57] <iceroot> wildbat: in daemon-mode or with inotify
[21:58] <trism> Mandrew: in 11.04 the battery status indicator is an appindicator, not an actual indicator, so you can't just purge it, it can be configured in System Settings/Power Management on the General tab (Notification area/Never display an icon)
[21:58] <solidus-nitrogen> i hate having to enter my password like 8x while i've already logged in, how do I change it so i don't need to verify i'm me after i logged in
[21:59] <Dr_Willis> solidus-nitrogen:  depends on whats verifying....
[21:59] <solidus-nitrogen> it asks me when i sign onto aim, when i go to download a package, and whenever the screen locks
[21:59] <Dr_Willis> each of those have their own way to negate the need for a password.
[21:59] <Dr_Willis> screenlock - is a check box you disable somewhere..
[21:59] <solidus-nitrogen> ones an issue with the wallet, ones an issue with the sleep screen
[22:00] <solidus-nitrogen> yeah I'm not sure about the wallet though, maybe theres an option in my chat client
[22:00] <Dr_Willis> as for the keyring thing. I just let it use 'unsafe storage' so it auto unlocks on login
[22:00] <solidus-nitrogen> in kde theres a system wide way to disable the use of the wallet though
[22:00] <solidus-nitrogen> Dr_Willis: where is that?
[22:00] <Dr_Willis> but thats gnome.. kde proberly has a similer thing
[22:00] <solidus-nitrogen> i'm in gnome
[22:00] <iceroot> Dr_Willis: then all passwords are unecrypted on the drive the keyring is storing
[22:00] <Dr_Willis> when you first set the gnome keyring, just use a blank password.
[22:00] <Dr_Willis> iceroot:  yep. thus the use of the term 'unsafe storage' :)
[22:01] <Dr_Willis> solidus-nitrogen:  run 'seahorse' and you can reset your keyring password via the right click menus.
[22:01] <iceroot> solidus-nitrogen: if you set keyring to the same password as the userpassword and DONT choose autologin, the keyring is opened automaticly without typing the password again
[22:02] <Dr_Willis> iceroot:  i seem to recall that using the same password for the keyring as login.. did not work that way for me.
[22:03] <solidus-nitrogen> cool, thanks! i'll experiment
[22:03] <Dr_Willis> because i always set the keyring touse the same password as login. in the past. not tried it lately
[22:03] <iceroot> Dr_Willis: on keyring (gnome) or kwallet? on gnome-keyring it was working for me (then i choose encrpyted /) :)

[22:05] <iceroot> ministerdude: best is not to buy apple-stuff because of there itunes-restrictions

[22:08] <spacebug-> Dr_Willis: talking about seahorse. Do you (or anyone) know if and how I can set the password cache to zero? That is, not to use one. I want it to always ask for my password when I decrypt using my key

[22:16] <audifahrer> iceroot: they told me offtopic :-( in c++

[22:17] <spacebug-> ;)

[22:18] <Guest96931> spacebug usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: gdm is broken or not fully installed is the error I got
[22:19] <audifahrer> iceroot: yes, but if possible I like to specifiy the time/date when it should call me. For sure I could implement something new based on setitemer
[22:19] <kiwi_> hi, today i updated 10.10. now the system doesnt boot anymore. i get "GRUB _" ... thats it. i never had this before using ubuntu for years. how can i fix that?

[22:20] <Guest96931> spacebug thank you

[22:20] <kibibyte> kiwi_, you must ask ubuntu developers, if they are not in school now
[22:21] <audifahrer> iceroot: me too, but many people are forced if one uses a OS specific word (e.g. Linux in the question) :-P
[22:22] <iceroot> audifahrer: then dont use the word, c++ is not os-specific
[22:23] <edbian> kiwi_: I can help. Boot a liveCD and reinstall grub
[22:23] <edbian> kiwi_: You upgraded from what release to what? 10.04 ?
[22:23] <kibibyte> kiwi_, see, edbian is back from school now
[22:24] <Qcho> hi
[22:24] <edbian> Not a developer
[22:24] <edbian> but thanks :)
[22:24] <edbian> Qcho: hello
[22:24] <Qcho> hi
[22:24] <kiwi_> edbian, no upgrade ... simple update ...
[22:24] <Qcho> i m qcho
[22:24] <albech> can anyone recommend a good IPsec client for Ubuntu to connect to Juniper SRX devices?
[22:24] <edbian> However I am a student!
[22:24] <szal> kibibyte: in most parts of the world it's still Sunday, so no school
[22:24] <edbian> kiwi_: mmm, anywho.  Boot that liveCD! :D  liveUSB if you have one.
[22:25] <kiwi_> edbian, i cant get the livecd right now. i guess thats the only solution you can offer, right?
[22:26] <edbian> kiwi_: well can you type stuff at your grub_ prompt?  Or is it frozen??
[22:26] <kibibyte> kiwi_, you can write to ubuntu about crap they made
[22:26] <kiwi_> frozen
[22:27] <edbian> kiwi_: Then I can't help my friend.
[22:28] <kiwi_> edbian, its a dual boot system. is there a way to write 'grub,img' from windows?
[22:28] <kiwi_> grub.img
[22:29] <kiwi_> the 512 byte boot sequence, you know?
[22:29] <edbian> kiwi_: You can install the ext4 driver for windows and edit /etc/default/grub and such.  I don't think there is a way to write grub into the MBR from windows
[22:29] <edbian> kiwi_: the 512 bytes boot sequence is commonly referred to as the mbr.  You can read and write it in linux using dd!!!!
[22:29] <szal> kiwi_: dd exists for windows
[22:30] <poseidon> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Qj8p-PEwbI&feature=related <---- is that real?
[22:30] <kiwi_> edbian, right i want to do the dd on windows
[22:30] <edbian> kiwi_: Talk to szal
[22:30] <kiwi_> ok thanks
[22:30] <poseidon> That's really bad publicity.  Does that really not come with the drivers installed?
[22:30] <szal> poseidon: most probably off-topic
[22:30] <edbian> kiwi_: writing the MBR using dd is going to be more the trivial.  I think a liveCD will be much much easier.
[22:30] <poseidon> szal: about ubuntu
[22:31] <kiwi_> szal, whats the equivalent to the 'dd ..... of=grub.img' on windows? i have a ext3 driver on windows.
[22:32] <rww> poseidon: That's two years old and not a technical support question. Go ask #ubuntu-offtopic, like the five other people who oddly brought it up this week did.
[22:32] <szal> kiwi_: http://www.chrysocome.net/dd
[22:32] <kiwi_> ok
[22:33] <kiwi_> that might work, thanks
[22:34] <sumosu> can i use the alternate install cd to directly install to a usb flash stick? (11.04)
[22:34] <ronqbc> how can i set the sound be like rock?
[22:35] <iceroot> sumosu: yes as the normal installer can do that too
[22:36] <Kazilla> !usb | sumosu
[22:37] <sumosu> can i do a full install on a stick instead of the persistent version?
[22:37] <ronqbc> how can i set the sound be like rock?
[22:37] <iceroot> sumosu: yes

[22:38] <sumosu> cool thanks
[22:39] <ronqbc> iceroot, is there a manager for the programs to kill?
[22:39] <ronqbc> i want that my sound will sound like rock. what can i do?
[22:39] <Kazilla> ronqbc: type "top" at the terminal prompt
[22:39] <ronqbc> banshee won't start after i opened skype
[22:39] <Dr_Willis> ronqbc:  'sound like rock' means.. well. nothing to most of us i imagine....
[22:40] <crackerjackz> what is the default username and password for phpmyadmin?
[22:40] <iceroot> ronqbc: a manager for the shell is htop, for the gui is guess its xkill
[22:40] <iceroot> crackerjackz: your mysql-logins
[22:40] <IdleOne> what does killend the program have to do with changing the sound "theme" ?
[22:40] <frxstrem> crackerjackz: whatever the username and password for the MySQL server is

[22:43] <ronqbc> IdleOne, you are crazy
[22:44] <Dr_Willis> he asked in what player.....
[22:44] <IdleOne> good luck with chaging the equalizer settings using xkill

[22:45] <aj00200> I have an askward question. I have a keyring containing some important passwords but I forgot the last few characters. Is there a way to brute-force them? I'll write the code myself if someone can tell me how to unlock keyrings cli style.
[22:45] <YankDownUnder> aj00200, That might be a tough one, however, you CAN just delete the "keyrings" and start fresh.
[22:46] <rww> "containing some important passwords"
[22:46] <iceroot> aj00200: how many last characters you dont know?
[22:46] <aj00200> YankDownUnder: I need the important passwords first so that is not an option
[22:46] <aj00200> iceroot: 4
[22:46] <iceroot> aj00200: that should be possible with bruteforce
[22:47] <iceroot> aj00200: have a look at "apt-cache search bruteforce" for a cli-based program which is sending passwords on stdout which you can send to the cli-version of keyring
[22:47] <Kazilla> i don't understand why you are brute forcing when you can just reset the passwords
[22:47] <Lasers> Kazilla: "containing some important passwords"
[22:47] <aj00200> Kazilla: the passwords aren't for websites
[22:48] <macd> Is there a supported upgrade method from 9.04 to 10.04 lts, or current.  Server install.
[22:48] <aj00200> iceroot: ok, I'll look
[22:48] <h00k> !upgrade | macd
[22:48] <iceroot> macd: yes. 9.04 - 9.10 - 10.04
[22:48] <macd> is there any reason that the jaunty repos woujld not be reachable anymore?
[22:49] <Lasers> !jaunty | macd
[22:49] <Lasers> !eol | macd
[22:49] <Lasers> macd: :)

[22:50] <Lasers> macd: Cool. Good luck. :)
[22:51] <macd> Id already hit all of the upgrade links, but missed the EOLUpgrade one some how
[22:52] <aj00200> iceroot: do you know what the cli tool for accessing keyrings is?
[22:53] <iceroot> aj00200: no
[22:53] <jimubao> hi there i'm setting up a public_html on this other volume which can be read by both windows and linux
[22:54] <iceroot> aj00200: Paket libgnome-keyring-cil

[23:05] <antivirtel> ?
[23:05] <Neoncamouflage> You mean your partition?

[23:05] <brandon_> Well, I'm not really sure what terms to use. Basically I installed Ubuntu using the Windows installer
[23:05] <iceroot> jimubao: that is ok, its not apache running
[23:05] <brandon_> The "partition" is 130GB
[23:06] <brandon_> but I need it to be larger
[23:06] <Neoncamouflage> brandon_, You can boot off of an Ubuntu LiveCD and use GParted to increase your partition size, so long as your HD has more room for it.
[23:06] <Neoncamouflage> What I did with mine
[23:06] <jimubao> i just start it
[23:07] <jimubao> and still showing forbidden on the browser
[23:07] <jimubao> @@
[23:07] <brandon_> Yes, my HD has ~1TB free, so I know I have the space.  So I have to boot off of a LiveCD in order to increase the partition size?
[23:07] <iceroot> Neoncamouflage: he is using wubi
[23:07] <iceroot> brandon_: no
[23:07] <Neoncamouflage> missed that XD
[23:07] <iceroot> brandon_: with wubi you dont use gparted

[23:08] <jimubao> is it possible to set public_html on an ntfs volume ?.....

[23:09] <jimubao> iceroot: is it possible to have public_html on another volume ? coz i often switch os alot ~ btw windows and linux
[23:10] <yagoo> aguitel, graphic artifacts or funny letters on plain text screen?
[23:10] <iceroot> jimubao: should be no problem if apache can read the files the fs doesnt matter
[23:10] <jimubao> hmmm
[23:10] <iceroot> jimubao: is the "bind" error the only error in /var/log/apache2/error.log?
[23:11] <aguitel> yagoo: grafhic and letters
[23:11] <brandon_> Okay, so I can't use the GParted software.  I tried to log into Windows and do a "Change Installation" but that did not work
