[00:00] <konradb> ActionParsnip: /etc/rc.d/rc.sshd restart?
[00:01] <konradb> but i dont have /etc/rc.d/ lolz, i have only rc0-6 and rcS.d
[00:01] <ActionParsnip> konradb: sudo service ssh stop; sudo service ssh start
[00:02] <konradb> hm
[00:02] <konradb> it will be hard to do on vps :DDD
[00:03] <aperson> hello.  I just migrated to some new hardware (i5, nvidia gpu, etc) and I now find that I can only boot when I select recovery mode and then hit resume.  Ubuntu will not start otherwise.  Any ideas?
[00:03] <ActionParsnip> konradb: the commands will run fine, there is enough redundancy to keep the link up
[00:03] <konradb> i made service ssh restart
[00:03] <ActionParsnip> konradb: remember the old connections around when SSH was being made
[00:03] <konradb> thanks for help :)
[00:03] <ActionParsnip> konradb: all ok now?
[00:03] <konradb> yes
[00:03] <ActionParsnip> konradb: you MUST restart ANY service after editting the confoig
[00:04] <konradb> :P
[00:04] <ActionParsnip> konradb: this makes it reread the file, changing it and not restarting doesn't change the running service on the fly
[00:04] <konradb> ouch, small question more, how can i use bash "clear" in motd?
[00:04] <konradb> is it possible?
[00:05] <konradb> by /etc/modtd
[00:05] <konradb> motd*
[00:05] <ActionParsnip> konradb: do you want motd to show at all?
[00:06] <konradb> i want to clear console after connection
[00:06] <konradb> U know, connect<EMAIL_ADDRESS>etc etc etc
[00:06] <konradb> then clear and motd
[00:07] <ActionParsnip> konradb: you could add the clear command to the bottom of ~/.bashrc
[00:07] <kszksz> hello. 11.10 - dealing with network card rtl8139 for half day, cant get it work -8139too and 8139cp are loaded, tried rmmod for 8139cp, deleting file from  /lib/modules/kernel 3/kernel/drivers/net/, but still both modules are loaded and card is not working, any tips?
[00:08] <konradb> ActionParsnip: hm, good idea :D
[00:08] <konradb> where is bash configuration file  for all users?
[00:09] <puff> I'm trying to install skype via folowing https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype
[00:10] <LinoSP> I have a Toshiba Satellite 1555CDS and a DWL-G650+ wifi (which is a pita) I cannot install any lubuntu version newer than 10.04 because of cmov boot fail and DWL-G650+ doesn't work with 10.04 any ideas?
[00:10] <kszksz> card worked when i installed it before with ubuntu
[00:10] <BlueProtoman> Anyone here know why Synaptic (Ubuntu 11.04) can't fix this broken package?  I can't install new software until I get this fixed.  http://pastebin.com/RaFii4ts  Here's my list of package sources.  http://pastebin.com/HTReL7zL
[00:10] <JoshManders_> Hi guys, I'm having problem with installing Ubuntu. First time this has ever happened to me.
[00:11] <JoshManders_> I have an HP Pavilion a1630n Media Center, and I'm trying to install Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on it
[00:11] <kszksz> blacklisting wont work either
[00:11] <puff> However, a) after adding the ppa, aptiutde update too forever on extras.ubuntu.com, ended up ctrl-c'ing out of it a couple of times but finally it updated... with some errors:  http://pastebin.com/Bptrxn6s
[00:11] <konradb> BlueProtoman: try sudo apt-get install gimp
[00:11] <puff> b) even after updating with no errors, aptitude can't find a skype package
[00:11] <JoshManders_> It gives a black screen just before it gives the menu for install or run live cd
[00:12] <puff> Doh, looking more closely at the errors, I see it ended up skipping extras.  Well.
[00:12] <BlueProtoman> konradb: No luck.  http://pastebin.com/np5EAUgG
[00:13] <ActionParsnip> JoshManders_: what GPU are you using?
[00:13] <konradb> BlueProtoman: You really have good repository?
[00:13] <puff> Hm, I wonder if the 32 bit version of the skype .deb is worth trying.
[00:13] <ActionParsnip> JoshManders_: thought about using Oneiric too?
[00:13] <JoshManders_> ActionParsnip: nvidia gforce 6150 le
[00:13] <BlueProtoman> konradb: What do you mean?
[00:14] <ActionParsnip> JoshManders_: add the boot optoin:  nouveau.blacklist=1
[00:14] <JoshManders_> ActionParsnip: I have a live cd of 10.04 LTS so I figure I'd upgrade from there
[00:14] <konradb> didn't you add any new repository?
[00:14] <JoshManders_> ActionParsnip: how do I do that? I can't even get anywhere with it
[00:14] <ActionParsnip> JoshManders_: you can update to precise (12.04) in one jump if you want (it prerelease but will get you there quick)
[00:14] <BlueProtoman> konradb: Yes, I posted the list.  http://pastebin.com/HTReL7zL
[00:14] <ActionParsnip> bootoption | JoshManders_
[00:15] <BlueProtoman> I gotta go real soon, so any tips?
[00:15] <JoshManders_> Sec, let me hook my monitor up to the thing and see what I can do.
[00:15] <BlueProtoman> konradb?
[00:15] <kszksz> is this 8139 issue fixable or i need to reinstall ubuntu? :S
[00:16] <m_fulder> how can I remove a kernel module?
[00:16] <konradb> BlueProtoman: im not boss in linux, but i was trying to help by default problems :D. Meaby install from *.deb?
[00:16] <m_fulder> rmmod seems not to work :S
[00:16] <vn> hi, when a directory is created inside another, it usually heritates from its permissions...how can I change those default permissions upon creation of a subdirectory?
[00:17] <BlueProtoman> Well, thanks anyway.
[00:18] <dajhorn> vn: Try the `umask` command.
[00:18] <Yurim> Hi folks! Do you know who starts the gnome-keyring-daemon? I'm wondering where i can switch off the gpg-agent emulation.
[00:18] <JoshManders_> ActionParsnip: do I just add it after quiet splash --?
[00:19] <vn> dajhorn: thanks
[00:19] <dajhorn> vn: Welcome.
[00:20] <Acidcore> is Ubuntu 11.10 using acpi by default?
[00:21] <ActionParsnip> JoshManders_: yes
[00:22] <JoshManders_> Okay, it's at the Ubuntu screen with the dots going red as a progression
[00:22] <ActionParsnip> Acidcore: could also try:  nomodeset   too :)
[00:23] <ActionParsnip> JoshManders_: strange is that I use a 6150LE in my desktop and its faultless
[00:24] <ActionParsnip> JoshManders_: sometimes they just don't like the nouveau driver, the boot option makes the kernel block the driver and the nv driver will be used. You'll need to do the same on the installed OS til you can install the proprietary driver
[00:24] <JoshManders_> ActionParsnip: I found this, thanks > http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9195971&postcount=14
[00:25] <inashdeen_> Hi. Is there a way to have clocks of different time (say 1 is uTC, the other is US times) on my ubuntu desktop?
[00:25] <Acidcore> ActionParsnip: what is the nomodeset for?
[00:25] <vn> dajhorn: is there something such as umask to designate default owner/group?
[00:26] <dajhorn> vn: You can set the group sticky bit on a directory so that group ownership is inherited.
[00:27] <ActionParsnip> Acidcore: it makes the kernel not set video modes and refresh stuff in side the kernel afaik, keeps it outside the kernel. Some GPUs don't like it
[00:27] <vn> dajhorn: in fact I don't want it to be inherited
[00:27] <dajhorn> vn: Can you give an example of what you want?
[00:28] <ActionParsnip> Acidcore: its something like that, the exacts escape me
[00:28] <Acidcore> I think I understand. Although the question now occured why that should be used?
[00:29] <Acidcore> Like in which cases?
[00:29] <ActionParsnip> Acidcore: some GPUs will not show an image as it can cause issues with some, so the boot option is there to tell the kernel to not do it
[00:30] <Acidcore> aah thank you but I don't see what that has to do with ACPI
[00:30] <ActionParsnip> Acidcore: its common for intel GPUs
[00:31] <ActionParsnip> Acidcore: acpi is a different boot option to do with power management
[00:31] <JasonGriffee> How do I make a xRandR mode permanent?
[00:31] <Acidcore> I am using nvidia gefore (gygabite) gtx 480
[00:31] <konradb> how can i change motd to motd.sh?
[00:31] <Acidcore> although my question was if Ubuntu uses ACPI
[00:31] <Acidcore> which if I know right have nothing to do with gpus
[00:32] <amd123> hello, can any1 help me with my code in java, i got date to work as in todays date by using java.util.date and declaring as : licenceRenewal = new Date() which sets todays date but how do i increase the year by 1?
[00:33] <ActionParsnip> Acidcore: yes acpi is default
[00:33] <Acidcore> thank you ActionParsnip
[00:33] <ActionParsnip> amd123: I'd ask in #java
[00:33] <ActionParsnip> Acidcore: sorry for wafflin
[00:33] <Acidcore> aa np
[00:33] <Acidcore> actually ty
[00:33] <Acidcore> i mean it wasn't related but I learned something new :)
[00:36] <vitamin{> is there a particular reason that 10.04 still runs firefox 3.6.24 by default
[00:38] <ActionParsnip> vitamin{: there are ppas for newer ones, which version do you want?
[00:38] <puff> How likely is it that a 32-bit .deb will work on 64-bit ubuntu 11.10?
[00:38] <ActionParsnip> puff: it should work, you will pull in all the deps you need, is there no 64bit deb?
[00:39] <humamiaz> some kind soul to help a nooob?
[00:40] <mongy> JasonGriffee, I found adding all the commands used to .xprofile worked
[00:40] <ActionParsnip> vitamin{: sudo apt-get install python-software-properties; sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
[00:40] <ActionParsnip> vitamin{: will gove you firefox 9 in Lucid
[00:40] <ActionParsnip> humamiaz: ask and see
[00:40] <cozmoo> please for the love of god i need help
[00:41] <humamiaz> help install my ralink usb
[00:41] <vitamin{> ActionParsnip, oh yea I no that. I just wanted to know the reason, just stability?
[00:41] <ActionParsnip> cozmoo: ask away
[00:41] <bazhang> cozmoo, ask a question
[00:41] <cozmoo> man
[00:41] <humamiaz> i need intense help
[00:41] <cozmoo> i am so lost its not even funny
[00:41] <rich> if i diconnect form internet to go to friends, will my downloads resume where they left off
[00:41] <humamiaz> the helper must be paciente
[00:41] <rich> (non torrent downloads)
[00:41] <ActionParsnip> vitamin{: probably, not sure personally. I don't use firefox
[00:41] <cozmoo> first i need to get pptp running on my ubuntu virtual machine
[00:42] <trism> vitamin{: generally stable releases only get security updates, however 9.0.1 is currently in lucid-proposed, so it will probably land in updates soon (it just arrived in oneiric)
[00:42] <vitamin{> ActionParsnip, ah kk well thats for your help, think ill got give FF9 a try
[00:42] <ActionParsnip> rich: if you use a download manager and the server supports resuming then yes
[00:42] <cozmoo> i thought everything was configed properly but i cant connect to it
[00:43] <rich> so if something is downloading through firefox, im geussing thats not a download manager? ActionParsnip_
[00:43] <vitamin{> trism, thanks for the info!
[00:43] <cozmoo> what is localip what is remote ip when setting up a vpn
[00:43] <cozmoo> pptp
[00:44] <cozmoo> can i pm one of you guys for help pleasE?
[00:45] <cozmoo> ?
[00:45] <tuxGentoo> hola a todos voy a pedirles una gran ayuda a todos ustedes estoy realisando una encuenta y necesito gente que pueda llenar esa encuenta la puedne encontrar en esta direccion http://www.encuestafacil.com/RespWeb/Qn.aspx?EID=1158938
[00:45] <cozmoo> ActionParsnip  bazhang  ?
[00:46] <wajeemba> so I have an interesting hardware situation; my CPU fan doesn't seem to always like to run. It works on Windows, and must have worked during ubuntu-server setup, but the ubuntu desktop live cd and the completed install of ubuntu-server freeze after about 30-60 seconds once booted.
[00:46] <wajeemba> Is there a way I can manually set the fan to always run without doing a hacky "hardware mod"?
[00:46] <Rookie407> can someone pls help? im trying to add java and android sdk to my environmental variables, i have the .bashrc file open but it seems the info ive been given fails to tell you exactly where to input it...
[00:46] <puff> ActionParsnip: I got an odd error when I tried to "dpkg -i" the .deb I manually downloaded.   When I tried to add the partner repo via aptitude, aptitude update choked on updating extras AND on security.  Somebody elsenet suggested using synaptic and letting it pick a better mirror, that seems to work and it found skype i386 so I'm trying that.
[00:47] <cozmoo> damnit
[00:47] <puff> Rookie407: What shell?
[00:47] <ActionParsnip> cozmoo: its not something I've used or know of, or I would have replied
[00:47] <cozmoo> ok well
[00:47] <Rookie407> puff i dont know what you mean by shell =\
[00:47] <cozmoo> general question
[00:47] <cozmoo> localip?
[00:47] <puff> Rookie407: This is really more of a ##java or ##android-dev question, but...
[00:47] <cozmoo> and remoteip?
[00:47] <FloodBot1> cozmoo: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:47] <puff> Rookie407: Ah... okay, well.  Bash is the default shell, I think.
[00:48] <ActionParsnip> Rookie407: you will need to add:   export PATH=$PATH:/extra/path/folder
[00:48] <overclucker> Rookie407: a good place would be the end of bashrc
[00:48] <Katronix> hi all, is there a precompiled section of PHP I can install to include xmlrpc commands? or would I need to compile my own php?
[00:48] <ActionParsnip> Katronix: there may be a ppa
[00:48] <Rookie407> ActionParsnip, overclucker so after the fl then???
[00:48] <puff> Rookie407: In unix type OSes, including linux, you have the kernel and the shell.  The kernel is the heart of the OS and everything that needs to use resources goes through the kernel.  The shell is the program that you run as a user, it interacts with the kernel for you, hence you can think of that program as a shell around the kernel.
[00:49] <puff> Rookie407: I am, of course, oversimplifying :-).
[00:49] <ActionParsnip> Rookie407: no idea, that is how you add folders to your PATH variable
[00:49] <puff> Rookie407: What envrionment are you using to develop?
[00:50] <puff> Rookie407: Also, the shell == command line, it's linux's equivalent to windows CMD.EXE.
[00:50] <puff> Rookie407: or rather, it's what MS-DOS/Windows was copying when they came up with CMD.EXE :-).
[00:50] <Rookie407> puff ah ok
[00:50] <alien2050> Got a question: When I ssh to another machine, from 11.10 to another 11.10, sometimes (not always) the slash character for some reason on my (remote) keyboard is now a question mark.... ne1 knows why
[00:50] <puff> Rookie407: So, answer my question about your development environment.
[00:51] <alien2050> I figure it has to do with locale
[00:51] <Guest36305> hi all
[00:51] <alien2050> but precisely what... not sure
[00:51] <rypervenche> puff: Wow...I just now understood the meaning for the word "shell" thanks to you...haha
[00:51] <puff> Rookie407: When you log into unix/linux, the first thing it does is run a shell for you.  With modern X-windows GUIs, the first that shell does is run a Xwindows session for you.
[00:53] <superlou> so, um, this is embarassing.  I dd'd an image to an SD card via a usb sd card reader/writer, and now ubuntu won't automount the SD card.  Is that normal/fixable?
[00:53] <cozmoo> whats my locla ip?
[00:53] <alien2050> superlou: depends, but should be fixable
[00:54] <cozmoo> local ip
[00:54] <puff> Rookie407: for all of these things, there's a somewhat standard sequence of events for how things happen.  Each linux process has a set of "environment variables" associated with it.  It starts off inheriting the environment variables of the process that started it.  Then when it's a shell process, there are standard files it looks at and runs, and these can in turn set more environment variables.  This is what you are trying to
[00:54] <puff> customize.
[00:54] <Katronix> ActionParsnip cool, I found one :-)
[00:54] <cozmoo> whats my local ip?
[00:54] <alien2050> if its a device that formatted it, try to format it again with the device, for example a digital cam
[00:54] <cozmoo> f
[00:54] <alien2050> cozmoo: try ifconfig -a, search for an ETH string, usually eth0 or eth1
[00:55] <superlou> alien2050, thanks.  It was a USB card reader, not a camera (since i've had trouble doing that in the past)
[00:55] <superlou> alien2050, trying to mount it via that same reader
[00:55] <overclucker> Rookie407: it's probably easiest to just add your environment variables at the end of the bashrc file.
[00:55] <cozmoo> does a virtual machine have the same local ip as its host?
[00:55] <alien2050> superlou: so the SD card will in the end be used only by the usb reader ?
[00:56] <alien2050> if so, then go with fdisk or gparted, it should go fine
[00:56] <coolstar-pc> I'm installing updates, and apt is stuck at system-config-printer-common. Anyone can help?
[00:56] <superlou> alien2050, the goal's for the SD card to be used in a nook e-reader, but for this set of steps, I'm using the PC to set up the image.  The tutorial i was following said that once dd is performed with the image, you should be able to see a set of files on it after mounting, so i assumed they were using something standard like fat32 that ubuntu would automount
[00:56] <puff> I'm seeing super-slow performance from synaptic, it says "10 hours 27 mins 2 s remaining."  How do I tell it to use a different mirror?
[00:57] <alien2050> sometimes, embedded digital devices need to use their own format but that applies to files not format type, i.e. FAT32 usually should be fine
[00:57] <alien2050> but if you only need it as an external device, you can format it however you like
[00:57] <pp7> is there a reason why google-chrome sometimes gives me a big white blank window which cannot be removed unless i restart unity?
[00:57] <alien2050> superlou: not necessarily, sometimes, these tricky devices can create multiple partitions to use
[00:57] <superlou> alien2050, i can see it in the ubuntu Disk Utility so i guess i could just format and try again
[00:57] <puff> b
[00:58] <coolstar-pc> Apt is stuck unpacking system-config-printer-common. Should I kill it?
[00:58] <superlou> alien2050, i would have assumed it would be unreadable in the PC except the instructions said otherwise
[00:58] <alien2050> superlou: yeah.... but it all depends on what format type the device will read
[00:58] <pp7> coolstar-pc: got other disk intensive stuff running?
[00:58] <alien2050> superlou: again it depends what your DD image is
[00:59] <superlou> alien2050, yeah
[00:59] <coolstar-pc> pp7: I only am running firefox and the Software Updates
[00:59] <pp7> coolstar-pc: kill it
[00:59] <superlou> alien2050, Oh wow.    I just imaged a gzipped file onto the sdcard
[00:59] <alien2050> you are DDing a file, but what is the format of that file? iso?
[00:59] <superlou> alien2050, should've probably unzipped first
[00:59] <superlou> alien2050, i'm an idiot
[00:59] <alien2050> hehehe no prob, try again with unzip, should be fine
[01:00] <alien2050> whats the format of the file inside?
[01:00] <superlou> alien2050, .img file.  makes more sense
[01:00] <xcyclist> Looking for place to set my login screen graphic
[01:01] <mueddib> hello all
[01:01] <alien2050> yep
[01:02] <coolstar-pc> I killed it and ran sudo apt-get -f install
[01:03] <coolstar-pc> should I be good now?
[01:03] <iceroot> coolstar-pc: any output on "dpkg -l | grep -v ^ii | grep -v ^rc"?
[01:04] <coolstar-pc> iceroot: I'm still running apt-get -f install.  By installing i mean after i burn the files to my USB using Universal USB, i restart my laptop and it boots into Ubuntu setup, but as it is setting up/installing my USB drive mounts and unmounts? Any Ideas?

[01:13] <SVNDR> Is my USB drive supposed to be mounting and unmounting while im installing Ubuntu? By installing i mean after i burn the files to my USB using Universal USB, i restart my laptop and it boots into Ubuntu setup, but as it is setting up/installing my USB drive mounts and unmounts? Any Ideas?
[01:14] <Gerald> Version: 4:4.7.4-0ubuntu8
[01:14] <MonkeyDust> cozmoo  kust in idea: in vbox, the network type must be set to 'bridged', in order to obtain an IP in the same same network range
[01:14] <MonkeyDust> just*
[01:14] <cozmoo> im just vmware
[01:14] <MonkeyDust> cozmoo  it may be similar
[01:14] <alien2050> "how is this possible when my router onyl lets me forward ports to ranges 192.168.1.xxx"
[01:15] <alien2050> A lot of consumer routers are blocked on a specific C class domain
[01:15] <coolstar-pc> cozmoo: it's possible because of NAT
[01:15] <alien2050> coolstar-pc: you beat me to it :)
[01:15] <MonkeyDust> coolstar-pc  that's what i mean
[01:15] <Oer> alien2050, did you read the omments with the solutions to the mistakes in that howto ?
[01:15] <cozmoo> i need to forwatrd traffic to my virtual machine for vpn, so should i forward it to my host pc or str8 to my virtual machine?
[01:16]  * coolstar-pc just got his firefox updated, and needs to restart it.
[01:16] <alien2050> Oer: I was quoting our friend here
[01:16] <cozmoo> i need to forwatrd traffic to my virtual machine for vpn, so should i forward it to my host pc or str8 to my virtual machine?
[01:17] <Oer> alien2050, sorry, reply was for cozmoo indeed
[01:17] <alien2050> cozmoo: I think what you need to do (it works fine usually) is create a bridged network
[01:17] <cozmoo> its in settings set to NAT
[01:17] <cozmoo> change it?
[01:18] <coolstar-pc> alien2050: Anything happened when I was gone?
[01:18] <alien2050> yeah, if you bridge your VM instead of natting
[01:18] <MonkeyDust> cozmoo  to bridged, if possible
[01:18] <cozmoo> "replicate physical network connection state"   should i check this or leave it unchecked?
[01:18] <MonkeyDust> like i said a few lines earlier :p
[01:18] <coolstar-pc> cozmoo: Check it
[01:18] <cozmoo> ok
[01:19] <hydruid> are most of you running unity or gnome-shell ?
[01:19] <alien2050> MonkeyDust: yeah I didnt see you there but thats right
[01:19] <cozmoo> ok i think that changed my local ip
[01:19] <coolstar-pc> cozmoo: Unless you want to be able to host a private network between windows and ubuntu when wifi is off, or ethernet is disconnected
[01:19] <cozmoo> not sure what that means but i dont think so
[01:19] <coolstar-pc> hydruid: Neither
[01:19] <coolstar-pc> hydruid: I'm using KDE
[01:19] <hydruid> coolstar-pc: what are you running
[01:19] <hydruid> yuck
[01:20] <hydruid> i haven't been able to find an environment that I like
[01:20] <coolstar-pc> hydruid: I'll probably use Unity when it's fixed up to run properly. I used to use it, but then hated it.
[01:20] <puff> I had synaptic choose the best mirror and did reload and it's failing to update a bunch of stuff.
[01:20] <wajeemba> hmm, I tweaked BIOS settings to make the fan run constantly, but the system still freezes. Any idea what's causing this to happen on Ubuntu and Crux, but not Microcore or Windows?
[01:20] <alien2050> bridge is the way to go definitely, but be advised that youll need to set up a new IP for that VM, dont set the same IP as your host machine
[01:20] <cozmoo> so now my router can send traffic str8 to the vm, bypassing the host?
[01:20] <puff> And it's taking forever, trying.
[01:20] <hydruid> coolstar-pc: i hated it initially too, however the way that maximized windows integrate into the top panel is awesome......but it doesn't out weight all the other annoyances
[01:20] <coolstar-pc> hydruid: The way Unity multitasks..........It's not as productive as KDE, Xfce, Gnome 2, or even Windoze
[01:20] <ActionParsnip> puff: can you give a pastebin of the output of:  sudo apt-get update
[01:21] <longcat> video card...hard drive (bad sectors)
[01:21] <puff> ActionParsnip: Sure, I'll have to cancel synaptic's update though.
[01:21] <ActionParsnip> puff: let it finish, then we can continue
[01:21] <SVNDR> Is my USB drive supposed to be mounting and unmounting while im installing Ubuntu? By installing i mean after i burn the files to my USB using Universal USB, i restart my laptop and it boots into Ubuntu setup, but as it is setting up/installing my USB drive mounts and unmounts constantly? Any Ideas?
[01:21] <alien2050> cozmoo: actually the driver now allows traffic to be passed directly to the ethernet layer, so the VM is hooked to your NIC, as is your host
[01:21] <kszksz> how can i initialize automatic network configuration similiar to that from installer? or exact?
[01:21] <puff> ActionParsnip: waiting for aptitude to finish now...
[01:21] <cozmoo> ok ty
[01:22] <alien2050> is it working?
[01:22] <hydruid> coolstar-pc: i agree, and i'm in IT so I always have a lot of stuff open
[01:22] <Akiyama-san> hello, i've recently update my shell to 3.3.3 through ricotz/testing ppa. After the system reboot, i've noticed there's no more space between the icons on my top bar, they're all together, almost one over another, like in this screenshot: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10354702/Sem%20t%C3%ADtulo.jpg.  Is there a way to fix it? If no, how can I downgrade to 3.3.2 (where i didnt have this problem)? Could someone help me, please.
[01:22] <wajeemba> longcat: could they really make a difference? I have the feeling it's not the hard drive, because it happens on Ubuntu Desktop liveCD's too
[01:23] <hydruid> coolstar-pc: I work on a laptop and want the screen real estate, just can't find an environment that fits my needs
[01:23] <coolstar-pc> hydruid: I talked to someone who claimed to work at canoical. I told him about the problems I am having, and my hardware. He said he'd pass it on to the others.
[01:23] <longcat> wajeemba: ah, nice deduction of variables there.
[01:23] <wajeemba> longcat: should I try swapping the video card?
[01:24] <hydruid> wajeemba: sounds like your video card is over heating
[01:24] <longcat> it might also be a bug related to compiz or something
[01:24] <longcat> im not sure how, but try using a non-compositioning wm or whatever
[01:25] <wajeemba> I did notice it was running hot- but why would it be ok on windows and not ubuntu?
[01:25] <wajeemba> different drivers?
[01:25] <cozmoo> damn still not luck
[01:25] <ActionParsnip> wajeemba: different acpi support in each OS
[01:25] <wajeemba> ok, so any suggestions?
[01:25] <ActionParsnip> wajeemba: do you have the latest BIOS?
[01:26] <wajeemba> mobo? can you update a video card's bios?
[01:26] <ActionParsnip> wajeemba: are there any bugs reported for your make and model system regarding acpi?
[01:26] <ActionParsnip> wajeemba: sometimes you can (msi video cards can have bios updates if you use an msi motherboard in windows)
[01:27] <SVNDR> ActionParsnip: i have a question if your not to busy?
[01:27] <aBound> Has anybody been getting disappearing window buttons such as: x, minimize and maximize in the unity gui?
[01:27] <kszksz> relly looking for help with network card 8139, tried blacklisting, deleting file 8139cp, removing it from modules.pcimap, solutions from '2003 and still no effect. ubuntu 11.10, realtek 8139D
[01:27] <wajeemba> this is a custom built pc, pretty old, but the motherboard does have the latest BIOS (tho I think ABIT stopped making updates after 2006)
[01:29] <ActionParsnip> SVNDR: sup
[01:29] <Oer> wajeemba, remove the ppa and use ppa purge to go back
[01:30] <ActionParsnip> wajeemba: are there any bugs reported?
[01:30] <ActionParsnip> wajeemba: have you cleaned out the vents of the cooling hardware?
[01:30] <SVNDR> ActionParsnip: Is my USB drive supposed to be mounting and unmounting while im installing Ubuntu? By installing i mean after i burn the files to my USB using Universal USB, i restart my laptop and it boots into Ubuntu setup, but as it is setting up/installing my USB drive mounts and unmounts constantly? Any Ideas?
[01:30] <wajeemba> ppa? where would I look for bugs? I will take a dry cloth to it though.
[01:30] <kszksz> how to completely reset/remove network configuration?
[01:31] <wajeemba> I think I can also try swapping in an old PCI video card
[01:31] <haylo> SVNDR, it doesnt usually do that for me
[01:31] <haylo> SVNDR, sounds like that usb connection is sucky
[01:31] <Oer> sorry, wajeemba,> Akiyama-san  remove the ppa and use ppa purge to go back
[01:32] <SVNDR> haylo: yea, im guessing its not supposed it.. its USB 2.0, and 16GB hardrive.. so i dont understand why it would though..
[01:32] <MonkeyDust> kszksz  /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/network/interfaces
[01:32] <SVNDR> not supposed to**
[01:32] <haylo> i have done a ton of ubuntu installs and never seen this SVNDR
[01:33] <marcus> hi room
[01:33] <marcus> anyone from melb aus?
[01:33] <haylo> i suggest you make the usb in a linux control enviornment: a live cd, usb
[01:33] <bazhang> !au | marcus
[01:34] <haylo> make a live cd, then run start up disk creator inside of it
[01:34] <ActionParsnip> SVNDR: is the device healthy? Is it old?
[01:34] <oneliner> Anyone got updates on the realtek wired ethernet driver fiasco? the backport ppa is really broken if barely functional with still myriad timeouts, anyone tried for example wrapping the original win drivers ?
[01:34] <haylo> make a usb that isnt tainted by your previous system
[01:34] <SVNDR> ActionParsnip: its not even 2 months old, brand new practically
[01:34] <haylo> did you format yo FAT?
[01:34] <haylo> to*yo?
[01:34] <SVNDR> haylo: do you have a url to a guide i could use.. newb to linux
[01:34] <marcus> thanks for the info earlier
[01:35] <SVNDR> haylo: yes
[01:35] <haylo> nah im not an admin sorry
[01:35] <puff> ActionParsnip: *still* waiting for aptitude to finish updating.
[01:35] <haylo> stay on parsnip i think he is
[01:35] <SVNDR> marcus: from NSW here...
[01:36] <marcus> hi SVNDR
[01:36] <marcus> im from melb
[01:36] <slipknot> hi i am trying to compile the ardrone sdk on ubuntu 11.10 and i get this message http://pastebin.com/bEqtzX5d
[01:36] <haylo> but i made a lot of live cds and usb as a newb and a lot of them failed, but alot worked as well - good luck :)
[01:36] <marcus> first time on here...totally newb
[01:36] <ActionParsnip> SVNDR: is it plugged directly to the PC or to a USB hub?
[01:36] <puff> ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/Bia7U6zq
[01:36] <SVNDR> haylo: thanks, i think ill need it.. i also think im just going to try from CD when i can
[01:37] <SVNDR> ActionParsnip: connected to the USB directly
[01:37] <JasonGriffee> I'm in the middle of making a "xorg.conf" file, and am not sure if I made it right. Could someone look it over so I know I won't mess up my display when i reboot?  http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/795575/
[01:37] <SVNDR> ActionParsnip: USB Port**
[01:37] <haylo> SVNDR, cd and dvd is what ended up really working for me :)
[01:38] <haylo> only from that control enviornment could i really tell all the silly usb mistakes i was making
[01:38] <SVNDR> haylo: might be my way to go then ;p
[01:38] <SVNDR> lol
[01:38] <alien2050> JasonGriffee: looks weird, esecially if you have a LCD display
[01:38] <slipknot> hi i am trying to compile the ardrone sdk on ubuntu 11.10 and i get this message http://pastebin.com/bEqtzX5d
[01:38] <gh0strider> anyone here use gpsdrive ?
[01:38] <haylo> did you get unibersal usb installer for your windows system SVNDR ?
[01:38] <alien2050> sound like youre trying to specify old analog values, is that the case ? (frequencies, etc)
[01:38] <haylo> universal*
[01:38] <JasonGriffee> alien2050, it's a vga out
[01:39] <SVNDR> haylo: yea sure did
[01:39] <ActionParsnip> puff: tried switching to the main server?
[01:39] <haylo> ActionParsnip, i think he can use unetbootin in windows as well is this true?
[01:39] <alien2050> vga cable or vga screen (CRT) ?
[01:40] <ActionParsnip> haylo: yes, its also available in WIndows
[01:40] <JasonGriffee> alien2050, vga cable, to a 1080p tv
[01:40] <ActionParsnip> SVNDR: also try the 1-2-3 app from pendrivelinux
[01:40] <alien2050> Then, I wouldn't fiddle too much with frequencies if I was you
[01:40] <Ben64> JasonGriffee: theres a good chance 1920x1080 isn't the resolution you want
[01:40] <haylo> yeah that is universal usb installer i think
[01:41] <alien2050> Youll most likely end up with : display not recognized... on your TV
[01:41] <Jonii_> Hey, is there a way to stop Ubuntu 11.10 recording everything I do?
[01:41] <alien2050> is it NVIDIA GFX?
[01:41] <haylo> lol
[01:41] <JasonGriffee> ben64, why?
[01:41] <haylo> you guys recording him?
[01:41] <haylo> ActionParsnip, ? lolz
[01:41] <almoxarife> Jonii_: recording?
[01:41] <Ben64> JasonGriffee: every tv i've hooked up to isn't the resolution like that
[01:42] <ActionParsnip> Jonii_: what is it recording exactly?
[01:42] <alien2050> yeah it will most likely be blurred a lot
[01:42] <ubuntu_fanatic> hi guys...can anyone care to help me ...im having a problem with my screen resolution everytime when i started ubuntu 11.10 i always have this not vivid color in my screen and also the fonts are not that vivid...i already installed the NVIDIA Geforce 9100mg but its still the same..the only thing that i have to do is to always adjust the brightness of my screen...so anyone here can help me?! it will be greatly appreciated..
[01:42] <Jonii_> almoxarife: at least files i've downloaded or viewed and programs i've been using
[01:42] <kszksz> MonkeyDust i made them default, and i still have some eth1 after reboot ;o and no eth0. there's even no config for eth1
[01:42] <ActionParsnip> Jonii_: and where does it record them to?
[01:42] <almoxarife> Jonii_: you talking about zeitgeist?
[01:42] <JasonGriffee> Alien2050, what frequencies?
[01:42] <Jonii_> I have no idea
[01:42] <ubuntu_fanatic> hi guys...can anyone care to help me ...im having a problem with my screen resolution everytime when i started ubuntu 11.10 i always have this not vivid color in my screen and also the fonts are not that vivid...i already installed the NVIDIA Geforce 9100mg but its still the same..the only thing that i have to do is to always adjust the brightness of my screen...so anyone here can help me?! it will be greatly appreciated..
[01:42] <SVNDR> ActionParsnip: haylo: i think i may have just read something on the pendrivelinux website that might be my problem, but before i try, do you rekon it will solve the mounting issue? (from your exsperience).. it says: If you're running a Windows Vista or 7 (which i am) Installer from your USB, after the first reboot, remove the flash drive and let the pc complete from the hard disk.
[01:42] <Jonii_> ActionParsnip: how should I know?
[01:42] <Ben64> !patience | ubuntu_fanatic
[01:43] <ActionParsnip> Jonii_: so you don't know what's recorded or where to, you need to chillout dude
[01:43] <haylo> PM  me if you think i can help you SVNDR
[01:43] <almoxarife> Jonii_: the only recorder of personal stuff is zeitgeist, and that can be disabled
[01:43] <ActionParsnip> Jonii_: it doesn't record anything
[01:43] <Jonii_> I mean, i just want it to stop. If I knew all the places that data goes, it would be really easy to stop it, but I don't
[01:43] <ActionParsnip> Jonii_: there is no recording, there is internet history like ANY OS
[01:43] <alien2050> THAT ----- 138.50  1920 1968 2000 2080  1080 1083 1088 1111 +hsync -vsync
[01:43] <ubluntu> Jonii_: the fbi will still find those files...
[01:43] <zorklat> I chose "hibernate" from lightdm while I had an account logged in, and now my main HD is kind of messed up.
[01:43] <puff> ActionParsnip: I started with the main server.
[01:44] <ActionParsnip> Jonii_: there are logs for dpkg and udev which are lost on reboot and are useful for debugging issues
[01:44] <alien2050> unless your TV manual says to put these values
[01:44] <alien2050> but I would worry.... if its nvidia its easier to run nvidia-settings and letting it detect everything
[01:44] <ActionParsnip> Jonii_: there isn't anything to stop, there is no recording of any sort
[01:44] <Jonii_> ActionParsnip: sure it does. Press windows-button to enter dash, and view programs or files&folders tab. Giving that blatantly false advice is weird and dangerous and creepy, mind you
[01:44] <almoxarife> Jonii_: as stated, your online trail is being kept by the people you pay for internet, so good luck
[01:44] <puff> ActionParsnip: Saw the same problem, trie to fi it by having synaptic select the best mirror, same problem.
[01:45] <Ben64> JasonGriffee: if ATI has something to change resolution, try using that, otherwise use ubuntu's resolution changer
[01:45] <ActionParsnip> Jonii_: those are the recent docs, then file suggestion based on the contents of your home folder
[01:45] <ActionParsnip> Jonii_: I don't use unity, hitting windows key brings up my lxmenu
[01:45] <Jonii_> ActionParsnip: yes. I know. And why are recent docs recorded? Why are commonly used programs recorded?
[01:45] <zorklat> Jonii_: b/c a lot of users like that.
[01:46] <almoxarife> Jonii_: you are a candidate for 'tor-browser', then only the US Navy tracks you, you do like the US Navy dont you?
[01:46] <ActionParsnip> Jonii_: convenience, so you can run them faster, windows does that too in the 2 bar start menu style...
[01:47] <Akiyama-san> Oer, i've tried to ppa-purge the ricotz/testing, but it gave a hell of conflicts and aptitude was trying to remove gnome-shell and all other gnome programs
[01:47] <Jonii_> i don't really care about me being tracked all that much, i just find it really objectionable that theres simply no documentation on ubuntu about what of stuff you do is recorded without your own consent, in spite of it being your own computer
[01:47] <Ben64> Jonii_: its only local
[01:47] <Ben64> don't give anyone your computer and they can't see your recent documents
[01:48] <ActionParsnip> Jonii_: http://askubuntu.com/questions/34592/how-to-clear-recently-used-files-without-using-a-terminal   may also clear the apps list, Ive never met anyone as paranoid as you. I bet you walk the streets with tinfoil on your head
[01:48] <alien2050> Jonii: Actually, everything is in your home directory, if you remove that before selling the computer for example, its all  gone.
[01:48] <slipknot> hi i am trying to compile the ardrone sdk on ubuntu 11.10 and i get this message http://pastebin.com/bEqtzX5d
[01:48] <Jonii_> Ben64: it could be stolen, or hacked into. I'd rather have it not-record me unless I explicitly tell it to
[01:48] <almoxarife> Akiyama-san: yeap, purge then re-install the original
[01:49] <ActionParsnip> Jonii_: you can use gnome tweak tool to make it not record the recent docs
[01:49] <Jonii_> alien2050: oh, thats good news
[01:49] <Ben64> its not really "recorded" anyway
[01:49] <Akiyama-san> almoxarife, the problem is that aptitude will remove all my programs with gnome-shell
[01:49] <Ben64> if someone hacks into your computer, theres bigger problems for you than your recent documents
[01:50] <puff> ActionParsnip: The aptitude udpate finally ended, with an error: http://pastebin.com/SQmRWm9p
[01:50] <synrat> hi. does anyone know how to send f8 ( safe mode )  key to virt-manager guest  ?  I have a guest 2003 server on 10.04 LTS, which won't boot, but I can't even try to fix it, because the boot sequence is too fast and no f8 key doesn't catch it in time.
[01:50] <subcool> lil help because im stupid-
[01:50] <ActionParsnip> Jonii_: people can hack in or steal your password and then access your system at any time, recent docs list or not
[01:50] <alien2050> yeah its there to help if you forget stuff or dont know how to use a computer usually... but in linux, unless you start copying stuff everywhere its very tidy and all in your home directory
[01:50] <almoxarife> Jonii_: its all cute and all but you are asking not to be seen by a system that tracks your movements(internet), hello? snail mail is still safe, ii think
[01:50] <subcool> i just downloaded two vmware packages.. but they are in TXT??? - how do i install them. and y the hell isnt there a deb
[01:51] <ActionParsnip> puff: do you have software centre open or are updates running?
[01:51] <jmg> hi all
[01:51] <alien2050> I know because since ubuntu 8 Ive been copying my home directory to a new install, and everything (including icon placement etc) is ported over.... WAY easier than M$
[01:51] <jmg> gnome shell looks terrible
[01:51] <puff> ActionParsnip: Nope.
[01:51] <jmg> how do i use the launcher from jolios?
[01:51] <ActionParsnip> !aptfix | puff
[01:51] <Jonii_> ActionParsnip: its a netbook. It can easily be stolen, and it has ridiculous amounts of sensitive data about me, exact nature and extent of data is unknown to me, and i really don't like diving into finding out all the ways this data could be used against me
[01:51] <ActionParsnip> Jonii_: then use encryptfs and keep a backup, no need to worry then
[01:52] <almoxarife> Akiyama-san: yes, it might, let it, then when done have it all re-install, re-installing 'ubuntu-desktop' after you system is stripped clean will leave you with a fresh system
[01:52] <ItalianStallion> hello
[01:52] <Jonii_> Lots of unknowns and lots of risks, so why not just try to reduce the amount of unnecessary tracking of files
[01:52] <zorklat> Jonii_: if you're that worried about your data, you OUGHT to be using CentOS or Scientific or Fedora, with LVM and full disk encryption
[01:52] <ActionParsnip> Jonii_: using encryptfs will mean that if the drive is removed or such, the data will be garbage
[01:53] <Jonii_> zorklat: i've heard about fedora, but not about the two other oses you mentioned
[01:53] <puff> ActionParsnip: hm, no visible output, but... trying aptitude update again.
[01:53] <ActionParsnip> zorklat: why and how are their securities 'better' than ubuntus?
[01:53] <Jonii_> ActionParsnip: yeah, i've thought of using that
[01:53] <ParkerR> \o ActionParsnip, How's it going?
[01:53] <almoxarife> Akiyama-san: but it will need to be done at the terminal, maybe, because stuff may dis-appear as you progress
[01:53] <alien2050> ActionParsnip: +1
[01:53] <jmg> how do i get rid of gnome shell? it's terrible
[01:53] <ActionParsnip> Jonii_: you should if you are THAT paranoid
[01:53] <Akiyama-san> almoxarife, my configurations will not be erased?
[01:53] <ActionParsnip> jmg: its a package like any other
[01:53] <zorklat> Jonii_: CentOS and >Scientific are clones of >RH>~EL.
[01:53] <Jonii_> ActionParsnip: I know. It embarrasses me a bit that I haven't done that :/
[01:53] <slipknot> hi i am trying to compile the ardrone sdk on ubuntu 11.10 and i get this message http://pastebin.com/bEqtzX5d
[01:54] <almoxarife> Akiyama-san: no, dont touch your /home/ folder
[01:54] <Oer> Jonii_, use bleachit to remove any trace on your laptop, little drastic, imho
[01:54] <alien2050> zorklat: so ?
[01:54] <Akiyama-san> k
[01:54] <Akiyama-san> ill restart and do it
[01:54] <zorklat> ActionParsnip: LVM and encryption of the full disk as opposed to just the /home directory.
[01:54] <almoxarife> Akiyama-san: dont restart
[01:55] <zorklat> alien2050: Jonii_ asked me.
[01:55] <Jonii_> I'd want to have an OS that I can trust to not do stuff I find objectionable. Its just that i'm not that good with computers, so its gonna be a long road for me :/
[01:55] <jmg> how can i configure it to be less crap? why are the icons so huge?
[01:55] <ActionParsnip> zorklat: you can have full disk encryption in ubuntu
[01:55] <almoxarife> !ot | Jonii_
[01:56] <puff> ActionParsnip: Hm, similar errors so far.
[01:56] <ActionParsnip> jmg: set smaller icon size in configs
[01:56] <zorklat> ActionParsnip: that's new.  >What about lvm, which I have learned(the hard way) makes it more difficult to recover data?
[01:56] <ItalianStallion> i have question im looking to install ubuntu on 2nd hard drive i have inside my computer and i have windows on the other hard drive as my main os, it wont mess with my windows right?
[01:56] <ActionParsnip> puff: tried a reboot?
[01:56] <ActionParsnip> zorklat: get a backup and data recovery isn't even a thing
[01:56] <Jonii_> How did I go offtopic? :o
[01:56] <ActionParsnip> zorklat: if you have no data backup then the data is diposable to you
[01:56] <almoxarife> Jonii_: your likes and dislikes are not a support issue
[01:57] <zorklat> ItalianStallion: it shouldn't.  Make sure that your Ubuntu drive is the first boot device.
[01:57] <alien2050> ItalianStallion: nope it won't. The other way around will. If you need to reinstall M$, it will scrap the boot sector, but even then it's easily recoverable. So no, you can install no worries
[01:57] <almoxarife> Jonii_: you want chat, take it to #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:57] <ItalianStallion> no i want to keep my windows on my main hard drive and install ubuntu on my second hard drive
[01:58] <oneliner> in the land of dual boot, ladies go first
[01:58] <ItalianStallion> so like when i boot the computer up, it gives me the option of what i want to load..windows or ubuntu
[01:58] <ActionParsnip>  ItalianStallion there is no 'main hard drive'
[01:58] <zorklat> ItalianStallion: you can do that.  Just make sure your second hard drive is the one your computer boots from, and no worries.
[01:58] <alien2050> ItalianStallion: Ubuntu will ALWAYS allow you to choose
[01:58] <ItalianStallion> (C:) is my main hard drive with windows
[01:58] <ItalianStallion> i would like to install ubuntu on my (E:) hard drive
[01:59] <ActionParsnip> ItalianStallion: irrelevant which drive letter has windows on, neither is 'main'
[01:59] <alien2050> Just ensure you've got unpartitioned space
[01:59] <ItalianStallion> what you mean unpartitioned?
[01:59] <ItalianStallion> the one i want to install on it is NTFS
[01:59] <alien2050> Nah that's not how it works... you will need to find some unused partition, remove it entirely, then install ubuntu there
[02:00] <alien2050> Because Ubuntu uses EXTx format, not NTFS
[02:00] <ActionParsnip> ItalianStallion: you will need to resize the ntfs and install there or you may be able to tell wubi to use the ntfs space to install to
[02:00] <alien2050> or other formats, but usually...
[02:00] <ItalianStallion> so what do i do, i put the iso on the usb stick and load the usb stick and install that way?
[02:00] <jmg> all of the posts i find about unity are either "It's horrible" or "lah lah lah im such a fanboy unity roolz, i dont actually use computers but i love it anyway LOL" and nothing about how to make it suck less
[02:00] <alien2050> you need to ask yourself: how much space do I have, and in that space ubuntu will go
[02:01] <ActionParsnip> ItalianStallion: you can do it that way, remember to MD5 test the ISO you have
[02:01] <zorklat> jmg -- go to webupd8.org
[02:02] <jmg> how do i install this http://news.softpedia.com/news/Introducing-Ubuntu-11-10-Without-Unity-228425.shtml on my ubuntu?
[02:02] <ActionParsnip> jmg: use what you like, it doesn't affect out PCs ;)
[02:02] <Jonii_> almoxarife: the question was "what and where does ubuntu record stuff about me, and how to get rid of all those records I deem unnecessary". I thought that would be an ubuntu issue
[02:02] <zorklat> Me, I'm acclimated to unity.  I tend to prefer lxde, but unity 2d is ok with enough ubuntu tweak & config.
[02:02] <jmg> ActionParsnip: it affects mine
[02:02] <ActionParsnip> jmg: that gives a 404
[02:03] <almoxarife> Jonii_: you talking about zeitgeist? it records and it can be stopped from doing it
[02:03] <zorklat> jmg -- consider lxde, xfce, kde, razor-qt, openbox+tint2 panel.  you have plenty of options.
[02:03] <ActionParsnip> jmg: if you dont like Unity, don't use it. I use LXDE more these days and Xubuntu and Kuuntu exist, doesn't use any Unity or Gnome shell
[02:04] <Jonii_> And it can be safely removed? And there are no hidden records elsewhere that I should know about?
[02:04] <ActionParsnip> jmg: Gnome is not the only desktop, ther is lots of choice
[02:04] <almoxarife> !who | Jonii_
[02:04] <zorklat> jmg:  heck, try Bodhi.
[02:04] <regeya> I hated Unity when it first became the main Ubuntu desktop.  I recently gave it another try...surprise, it's gotten a lot better.  I still don't like the autohiding menu bar, but that's one of my few gripes. ;-)
[02:04] <Ben64> Jonii_: using a computer, ANY computer will leave traces of you being there, unless it is a read only system, just don't worry about it
[02:04] <jmg> it's still horrible.
[02:04] <zorklat> regeya: check webupd8, and I think you'll find a fix for that.
[02:05] <regeya> really!
[02:05] <jmg> how do i make it look like this? http://i1-news.softpedia-static.com/images/extra/LINUX/large/ubuntugnomeshellremix-large_001.jpg
[02:05]  * regeya checks
[02:05] <puff> ActionParsnip: Yeah, though I guess I could reboot again.
[02:05] <ActionParsnip> jmg: that's gnome-shell   that's all I know
[02:05] <ParkerR> jmg, that is the new gnome 3 default theme with some tweaks
[02:06] <jmg> okay
[02:06] <S0LIDUS> regeya, I to hate Unity! It really does need some serious polishing.
[02:06] <jmg> and unity is what?
[02:06] <jmg> gnome shell made crap?
[02:06] <zorklat> regeya, google something like ubuntu unity launcher autohide disable and you're like~ly to find something.
[02:06] <ParkerR> I am on Ubuntu 11.04 Ubuntu classic and am loving it
[02:07] <Jonii_> UI of unity is the best I've ever tried, ever
[02:07] <jmg> you havent tried windows 3.1 then
[02:07] <jmg> or anything other than unity
[02:07] <Jonii_> Its kind of a shame its so unstable and full of bugs and whatnot
[02:07] <regeya> I still think next had the best ever ;-)
[02:07] <ParkerR> Jonbo, sad thing is it's geared more towards netbooks and tablets. Doesn't work well for full desktops or better laptops.
[02:08] <ParkerR> * Jonii_
[02:08] <jmg> it is HORRIBLE on my netbook
[02:08] <jmg> ParkerR: what resolution netbook?
[02:08] <Jonii_> ParkerR: well, true. I would be hesitant to use that on my desktop computer
[02:08] <Ben64> unity might be good for touchscreen
[02:08] <regeya> yep, that's what it was originally geared toward.
[02:08] <Jonii_> But 11.6" notebook + unity is an absolute bliss
[02:08] <skypent> What's the best music creator for ubuntu?
[02:08] <Aliv3> hey i tried to drag a tab from one gedit window to another, it screwed up my computer, im in console (CTRL ALT F2) right now using epic5
[02:08] <zorklat> jmg, that's almost trolling.  I suppose you could go full >CLI console cowboy, and use irssi for IRC and w3m for browsing.
[02:08] <regeya> some of the new ultrabooks will apparently have touchscreens.
[02:08] <skypent> looks like FL is win/mac
[02:08] <Aliv3> i cant mouse click or enter
[02:09] <ParkerR> jmg, I haven't actually used it on one. I was just saying it started out in the Ubunut netbook remixes
[02:09] <ParkerR> *Ubuntu
[02:09] <regeya> a ui, being forward-thinking?  say it ain't so!
[02:09] <alien2050> skypent: what type of music? electronic/live ?
[02:09] <jmg> it was crap there too
[02:09] <Aliv3> in gnome i mean
[02:09] <jmg> i just want a decent gui for 1024x768
[02:09] <skypent> alien2050; Electronic, not midi sounding.
[02:09] <alien2050> I'd say you should have a look at ubuntu studio
[02:09] <jmg> where windows actually fit on my screen
[02:09] <zorklat> jmg:  kde, xfce, razor-qt, lxde.  take your pick.
[02:10] <alien2050> it's really cool and has a lot of bundles, but in ubuntu you can also install
[02:10] <jmg> and 3/4 of it isnt taken up by an ugly launcher
[02:10] <Aliv3> notthing?
[02:10] <Aliv3> ill try reboot
[02:10] <jmg> kde are you kidding?
[02:10] <Jonii_> jmg: unity?
[02:10] <skypent> alien2050; looking for something that can make shoegaze type of sounds; deep distortion
[02:10] <S0LIDUS> I tried the new Ubuntu distro's with Unity and found it to be less functional, it seem's harder to get to the stuff you need. SO I fell back to the good old 10.04 LTS.
[02:10] <Aliv3> C
[02:10] <alien2050> definitely zynaddsubfx
[02:10] <zorklat> jmg:  that leaves 3 other choices.
[02:10] <alien2050> but it takes a bit of time to get used to it
[02:10] <skypent> i'll check it out; thanks
[02:10] <Jonii_> jmg: It works  pretty well. Though, you should tweak the launcher so that the icons are as small as you like
[02:10] <skypent> i have time
[02:10] <jmg> Jonii_: you seem to live in a twilight zone where unity isnt crap. how do i get there?
[02:10] <zorklat> jmg:  consider also bodhi and madbox.
[02:11] <alien2050> otherwise I would say supercollider and puredata but it's complex
[02:11] <regeya> I think it depends on what you define to be 'crap', jmg.
[02:11] <alien2050> Had a course at university on it actually, it is really really cool
[02:11] <jmg> zorklat: i prefer gnome. im going to try gnome-shell now
[02:11] <skypent> alien2050; do you know if it requires an input instrument?
[02:11] <skypent> i don't have a synth atm
[02:11] <zorklat> jmg:  then look into cinnamon.
[02:11] <Jonii_> jmg: download compiz tools and set launcher icons smaller. Sit back and enjoy. Learn to navigate with alt+tab and super+number keys, and set the launcher to autohide
[02:12] <alien2050> no requirement, you can generate sounds by signal processing
[02:12] <zorklat> jmg:  and/or MATE.
[02:12] <regeya> everything is subjective.  some people, no joke, think that kde4 with the oxygen theme is perfect.  some people think that the default windows XP look is the best ever.
[02:12] <alien2050> no midi device/guitar/etc needed
[02:12] <alien2050> but it can complement and make nice stuff of course...
[02:12] <chuck1> I don't like Unity but I think It will be cool on smartphone, tablet and futur mobile devices. But for my pc I had liked Gnome 3, I found it very convenient
[02:12] <jmg> zorklat: cinnamon isnt available in ubuntu
[02:12] <alien2050> ubuntu has a lot of music software in its repos
[02:12] <skypent> sweet, thanks alien2050; i..... i ... i love you
[02:13] <alien2050> hahaha!
[02:13] <zorklat> jmg:  point apt at mint's repos, and you can have it, neh?
[02:13] <alien2050> you'll have fun for sure with these tools
[02:13] <regeya> gnome shell is awesome in its own way, but it too seems to be focusing on touchscreens and, um, copying common tablet annoyances
[02:13] <jmg> ok
[02:13] <Jonii_> By the way, how do I change the system keyboard layout to dvorak?
[02:14] <Jonii_> So that its used as a default layout everywhere, including the first login and those virtual terminals you can access with ctrl+alt+fn
[02:14] <alien2050> That's actually one of the things that hooked me hard on Ubuntu, the way it integrates nicely for music composition, sound cards, etc
[02:14] <S0LIDUS> I miss Warty Warthog! lol
[02:15] <skypent> sweet; I was getting discouraged when i saw most of the called out ones were win/mac only
[02:15] <skypent> ...but maybe that's why their so called out.
[02:16] <alien2050> oh I forgot audacity and lmms
[02:16] <alien2050> great tools also
[02:17] <alien2050> I'm doing studio recording with audacity and puredata, they're just great
[02:17] <puff> ActionParsnip: I started trying to install skype client from the deb from their site; it was installing but when I tried to run it I go ta wierd error (something about the file not being there, but of course /usr/bin/skype *was* there).  So I rebooted, then remove/purged skype, then downloaded the deb again, but when I tried to run the deb I got an odd error.  I tried adding the Canonical Partner repo to install skype that way
[02:17] <puff> (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype) and that's where I started having this prob lem.
[02:18] <Jonii_> Is there a way to do that?
[02:18] <alien2050> puff: try to install the 32 bit of skype it should work fine
[02:18] <alien2050> there are also a couple of deps
[02:18] <Jonii_> Per-profile layout can be changed from system settings, that much I know
[02:18] <alien2050> to watch out for but it works fine on 11.10
[02:18] <ActionParsnip> puff: try:  sudo apt-get -f install
[02:18] <jmg> anyone know what launcher jolicloud uses?
[02:19] <ActionParsnip> puff: remember to match the arch of the deb to the arch of your ubuntu install (this isn't always the arch of your cpu as you can run 32bit OS on 64bit CPU)
[02:19] <ActionParsnip> jmg: jolicloud is offtopic here
[02:19] <jmg> ActionParsnip: not if i want to get the same launcher in ubuntu
[02:19] <ubuntu_fanatic> hi guys...can anyone care to help me ...im having a problem with my screen resolution everytime when i started ubuntu 11.10 i always have this not vivid color in my screen and also the fonts are not that vivid...i already installed the NVIDIA Geforce 9100mg but its still the same..the only thing that i have to do is to always adjust the brightness of my screen...so anyone here can help me?! it will be greatly appreciated..
[02:21] <zorklat> ubuntu_fanatic: the proprietary driver can adjust that sort of thing; you'll have to invoke it as root for changes to persist.
[02:21] <ubuntu_fanatic> zorklat: how can i do it to make it as a root?
[02:23] <ubuntu_fanatic> zorklat: how ??
[02:23] <zorklat> ubuntu_fanatic: you'll probably have to invoke it from terminal -- ctrl-alt-T to launch term, sudo nvidia-settings (I think that's what it's called) to launch as root.
[02:23] <jmg> is Unity just a theme for gnome shell?
[02:24] <puff> ActionParsnip: Yeah, I'm running 64 bit oneiric, I tried the 64 bit skype deb, now with using the canonical partenrs repo, all I see is i386.
[02:24] <alien2050> puff: install the 32 bit pkg, it works
[02:24] <alien2050> even on 64 bit
[02:25] <ubuntu_fanatic> i already configured the nvidia settings but im having the same problem
[02:25] <ubuntu_fanatic> zorklat: i already configured the nvidia settings but im having the same problem
[02:26] <zorklat> ubuntu_fanatic: then I am out of my depth.
[02:26] <cordoval> hi how can i upgrade to php5.3 .8 i am on latest ubuntu
[02:27] <alien2050> puff: have a look here
[02:27] <alien2050> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OneiricOcelot/TechnicalOverview/Beta2#Installing_the_correct_skype_package
[02:27] <alien2050> I am assuming you have 11.10
[02:30] <ParkerR> Has anyone got pianobar working under Ubuntu. The newer versions seem to fix login issues but they break some dependencies like libgnutls.
[02:30] <puff> alien2050: Thanks, yeah, 11.10 running ubuntu.
[02:31] <alien2050> puff: is it working now ?
[02:31] <ActionParsnip> puff: yeah the repos install 32bit, grab the 64bit deb from skype site
[02:33] <puff> alien2050: Still catching up.
[02:33] <puff> ActionParsnip: the URL alien2050 linked seems to suggest it's not good to install the 64 bit from the skype site.
[02:33] <puff> ". However, the Skype website currently directs users to download a package for 64-bit Ubuntu 11.10 systems which is not compatible. Users are instead recommended to install the skype package via the Canonical partner archive using Software Center"
[02:34] <alien2050> puff: yep that's right. that's how I got it to work.
[02:35] <puff> alien2050: Thanks, I'm using synaptic to reset to the main united state server first.
[02:35] <alien2050> puff: np
[02:35] <puff> alien2050: Also, earlier I used this line: sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner"
[02:35] <puff> I'm thinking that I should undo that...
[02:36] <alien2050> puff: I didn't have to do that, but if I remember correctly there were a couple of deps needed
[02:36] <puff> Dangint, synaptic is taking forever to reload and having all sorts of problems.  Is there a convenient way to reset apt/sources.list to the defaults?
[02:37] <alien2050> sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list
[02:37] <puff> Well yah.
[02:37] <alien2050> that's convenient :)
[02:37] <zorklat> I hibernated from lightDM while logged in, and now my disk spawns endless I/O errors.  I don't even know what to look at to diagnose the issue.
[02:38] <guest009> there is an option to restore original settings
[02:38] <FreezingCold>  Hey guys, in the middle of resizing my LUKS partition, and I'm reading the Ubuntu guide to do it.  I just resized the partition using resize2fs and everything went well.  Now, I'm being told by the guide to resize my volume with LVM, but I never used LVM.  What should I do?
[02:39] <L3d_1> hi folks ,im on fedora now ,and cant seem to get my ati drivers ,can someone tell me the cmd for the terminal ?
[02:39] <puff> Hm, here's my apt sources: http://pastebin.com/Qab5PTGs
[02:39] <zorklat> L3d_1: you need to ask the fedora people.  we ubuntu people just use jockey-gtk.
[02:40] <L3d_1> okm whats a .run file btw ,cause i have the ati one in .run ?
[02:40] <alien2050> it's an autoextract file
[02:40] <bazhang> #fedora L3d_1
[02:40] <frankguan> Hi,guys,does anyone know why installing the gtk could make the gnome enviroment unwork?
[02:40] <L3d_1> im allready there and thers like 4 pps
[02:41] <alien2050> works on ubuntu also, but since you're on Fedora, you're in the wrong channel...
[02:41] <pangolin> that doesn't change the fact that fedora is not supported here.
[02:41] <bazhang> L3d_1, there are way more. it's not supporte d here
[02:41] <zorklat> L3d_1: check the fedora FORUMS, then.
[02:41] <L3d_1> meh
[02:41] <skypent> alien2050: did you ever try zynsub on 11.10?
[02:41] <L3d_1> want to place an order ..
[02:42] <alien2050> Fedora people will be better equipped to help with your issue, and the ones you may have afterwards with gfx drivers
[02:42] <alien2050> skypent: yep! but I running 11.10 studio
[02:42] <skypent> alient2050; what do you mean by that?
[02:42] <skypent> is there a bundle you can just download for all of these?
[02:43] <alien2050> Well, I have a realtime kernel enabled because zynaddsubfx uses a LOT of CPU
[02:43] <L3d_1> well thanks for the help annywasus , good thing this server is a ok, laters
[02:43] <alien2050> and sometimes it lags if it's not enabled
[02:43] <alien2050> since it generates such rich and complex sounds...
[02:43] <skypent> ah; i'm just wondering if you had any issue with  not getting any sound.
[02:44] <frankguan> why when i reinstall the sqlite3 and ZLIB the gnome desktop is gone?
[02:44] <alien2050> skypent: could be related to that... what is your sound card ?
[02:44] <skypent> lemme check, back in a moment
[02:44] <alien2050> I run it on a XFI Audio Creation card
[02:44] <acerimmer> #list
[02:44] <alien2050> XFI Fatality also works fine I've tested it
[02:46] <alien2050> ooooooops.... I forgot something important (just running it now).... you need to have jack for it to work really smooth
[02:46] <alien2050> try install the JACK driver, i.e. apt-get install qjackctl
[02:47] <alien2050> otherwise it will need the precise HW device id of your sound system and can be difficult
[02:47] <alien2050> JACK is another sound server, it will disable ALSA while it's running... but it's worth it
[02:49] <skypent> Yeah i installed that a bit ago.  An extremely novice question, but... is there a quick way to see the sound card on my system?
[02:49] <puff> Dangit... it's doing the same thing as before, getting very, very slow for no discernible rason.
[02:49] <alien2050> try "lspci"
[02:49] <alien2050> as root
[02:50] <skypent> that gives me a list of all my hardware?
[02:50] <alien2050> with jack, you need to "plug" the applications with the sound system
[02:50] <bazhang> skypent, try sudo lshw
[02:50] <const_antine> try lsusb
[02:50] <const_antine> if its usb card
[02:51] <aber> ;)
[02:52] <ActionParsnip> alien2050: lspci can be ran by users
[02:52] <alien2050> true... old habits :)
[02:53] <frankguan> Does anyone know how can I add terminal to the panel?
[02:53] <ActionParsnip> frankguan: try guake :), much easier if you use terminal a lot
[02:53] <acerimmer> frankguan: right click, add this launcher to panel
[02:53] <BlueProtoman> Anyone here know why Synaptic (Ubuntu 11.04) can't fix this broken package?  I can't install new software until I get this fixed.  http://pastebin.com/RaFii4ts  Here's my list of package sources.  http://pastebin.com/HTReL7zL  Re-installing doesn't help.  http://pastebin.com/np5EAUgG  Purge doesn't work.  http://pastebin.com/9HDSkMi4  Neither does apt-get install -f.  http://pastebin.com/fEj1tpTs
[02:54] <frankguan> But I use xubuntu :)
[02:55] <haylo> ActionParsnip is clearly having alot of fun
[02:56] <ActionParsnip> haylo: sometimes, at work now but ssh'd using putty :)
[02:56] <skypent> sorry i don't quite know what i'm looking for, i put the contents of lspci into http://pastiebin.com/?page=p&id=4f07b42eb8e44 could any of you take a look to "decode" it for me, where exactly it tells me my card.
[02:56] <haylo> ah thats cool :)
[02:56] <ActionParsnip> frankguan: xubuntu uses GTK, which is why you use gksudo like in Gnome.
[02:56] <haylo> did you go to school for linux adminstration?
[02:57] <ActionParsnip> frankguan: for a light alternative, use tilda
[02:57] <haylo> or self taught?
[02:57] <skypent> maybe this one Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 01) (is this my sound card)?
[02:57] <ActionParsnip> haylo: no, just been using it a long while
[02:57] <haylo> ah cool :)
[02:57] <ActionParsnip> haylo: so self taught, but got the LPI 101 & 102 book, might as well get some creds for what I know :)
[02:58] <ParkerR> Hey haylo
[02:58] <puff> Hm, not that speed tests are all that reliable a gauge, but speedtest.net claims I've got 1.21Mbps download.
[02:58] <puff> And .16Mbps upload, wow that sucks.
[02:58] <ActionParsnip> frankguan: yakuake is the QT (KDE) eqiv. They let a terminal drop down from the top like the tilde console in Doom/Quake/Wolfenstein etc and hide again on the same press, very useful
[02:59] <puff> at least G, might be N.  As I understand it
[02:59] <puff> Dangit.
[02:59] <ActionParsnip> puff: have you disabled IPv6? Did you run speedtest 3 times?
[02:59] <puff> I really hate linu cut 'n paste :-(.
[02:59] <puff> http://www.speedtest.net/result/1691426937.png
[02:59] <puff> ActionParsnip: No, and no.
[02:59] <ActionParsnip> puff: speedtest is your WEB speed, not LAN speed. You could have N speed wifi to a 2Mbps internet link and speedtest would show you with 2Mb connection
[03:00] <roadfish> Which Ubuntu package is best for making LAN between two Ubuntu PCs? I am connecting with an ethernet cable and without a router.
[03:00] <ActionParsnip> puff: always run speedtest 3 times, makes for better results, disabling ipv6 can help speed a little
[03:00] <ActionParsnip> roadfish: you have the LAN already then if you have the wires connected and a router
[03:00] <puff> ActionParsnip: I'm not too worried about LA?N speed, just about how fast my pipe is.
[03:00] <roadfish> Are packages like xorp or quagga appropriate.
[03:00] <puff> ActionParsnip: How do I disable ipv6?
[03:00] <haylo> hey ParkerR ! :)
[03:00] <FreezingCold> Can somebody PLEASE help me resize my LUKS partition? :/
[03:01] <puff> Hm, second test showed .48 Mbps.
[03:01] <ActionParsnip> puff: add the boot option:  ipv6.disable=1
[03:01] <frankguan> Thank you
[03:01] <roadfish> ActionParsnip: what about when I am connecting with a wire ... but NOT using a router?
[03:01] <ActionParsnip> frankguan: sweet isn't it :)
[03:01] <bf4648> if Google Chrome doesn't natively support the playing of mp4s...is there a plugin I can get to play mp4s?
[03:01] <puff> roadfish: ?
[03:01] <alien2050> puff: for the cut and paste, there is a tool, like gclipboard or something that lets you manage it
[03:01] <ActionParsnip> roadfish: as long as there is a logical connection, you have the LAN
[03:01] <puff> roadfish: By definition you're usinhg a router, just not necessarily yours :-).
[03:02] <ActionParsnip> frankguan: I suggest you symlink /usr/share/applications/tilde.desktop into ~/.config/autostart to make it run at boot too :)
[03:02] <puff> Damn, third test got me .27Mbps
[03:02] <puff> And fourth test .24 Mbps.
[03:02] <puff> I think I've found the problem, wtf is going on with comcast?
[03:03] <Ben64> you have fios, not comcast
[03:03] <roadfish> ok, to rephrase my question. I want to transfer files between to PCs that are connected with an Ethernet cable ... but not with a router. What program do I use to preform the connection. For instance, can I just do "ls /path-to-second-pc/"?
[03:03] <Ben64> roadfish: rsync works really well
[03:03] <alien2050> roadfish: I say scp
[03:04] <puff> Ben64: no, I have comcast, verizon's involvement is just because that's where speedtest is downloading stuff for the test.
[03:04] <Ben64> [puff]<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[03:04] <Ben64> you have fios.
[03:04] <puff> Ben64: Oh, that, no, that's just where my colo is coming in from.
[03:04] <ActionParsnip> roadfish: transferring files is not "making a LAN"
[03:04] <puff> Ben64: I'm running my irc client on a debian box hosted by a friend.
[03:05] <ActionParsnip> roadfish: you will need to set the IPs on both sides as there is no DHCP server
[03:05] <puff> Ben64: The speed issues are with my local connectivitiy.
[03:05] <deepuvc> i need help badly
[03:05] <roadfish> Ok, so I am using the incorrect terminology. I guess this has been making my google searches harder.
[03:05] <puff> roadfish: It's really a whole lot easier to grab a cheap router and plug both boes into it.
[03:05] <danko> hello guys, i'm currently trying to download vmware palyer from vmware.com, and after login downloading not starting, but appears [Message ID: 621] Is the vmware palyer became not FREE ?
[03:05] <puff> ActionParsnip: Do you still need a crossover cable to do the sort of thing roadfish is trying to do?
[03:05] <deepuvc> iam not able to download any thing from ubuntu market
[03:06] <ActionParsnip> puff: yes as it is p2p
[03:06] <aber> really? I don't believe you...
[03:06] <puff_> umm what has no dhcp
[03:06] <roadfish> puff: one webpage said this: if it is an older ethernet port it may not be auto sensing, and then you would need a crossover ethernet cable.
[03:07] <deepuvc> i am not able to download any thing fromm ubuntu market place
[03:07] <deepuvc>  i am not able to download any thing fromm ubuntu market place
[03:07] <danko> can some one resolve my problem?
[03:07] <bazhang> deepuvc, no need to repeat so soon
[03:07] <roadfish> puff: so I guess this issue is if I have auto-sensing ... and I guess only really old cards (NICs?) lack auto-sensing
[03:08] <ActionParsnip> roadfish: I'd get a crossover, just in case
[03:08] <deepuvc>  i am not able to download any thing fromm ubuntu market place pls help me
[03:08] <bazhang> !helpme | deepuvc
[03:08] <ActionParsnip> roadfish: or re-head one side and make it a crossover cable, assuming you have heads and a crimper
[03:09] <deepuvc> okok but need help badly
[03:09] <puff_> geebs I got boxes of straight and x
[03:09] <deepuvc> man
[03:09] <puff> roadfish: I'd go with ActionParsnip's advice, he's alot more up to date on this stuff than I am.
[03:09] <JasonGriffee> I am having issue with VGA output not being 100% center on the x axis. How might I solve this?
[03:09] <deepuvc> i am not able to download any thing from ubuntu market place
[03:09] <aber> if you have Gigabit ethernet you don't need a crossover cable.
[03:10] <bazhang> deepuvc, repeating every five seconds wont get you help faster. try 15 minutes or so
[03:10] <deepuvc> bazhang can u help
[03:10] <puff> ActionParsnip: One possibility with my troubles, I replaced the apple airport with a mikrotik rb751u (http://routerboard.com/RB751U-2HnD) so there may be some problem with that.
[03:10] <puff_> I'm trying to figure out what marketplace he means

[03:29] <puff_> ok
[03:29] <puff_> then try download
[03:30] <puff_> unless you got a fw it should go
[03:30] <deepuvc> puff that was the problem u must have selected main servers
[03:30] <pksadiq> PatrickC: Why are you trying to compile emacs from source? it is already available in repo
[03:30] <wajeemba> what is the command to get X to regenerate it's config file? I'm trying a new graphics card.
[03:30] <puff_> no problem
[03:30] <deepuvc> puff dont go
[03:30] <PatrickC> pksadiq, i didnt ask that question here, lol, but i didnt know that...
[03:30] <StepNjump> Am I going crazy or what.. I was just trying to move some files from an external hard drive to a different dir winthin the same external hard drive.. Unfortunately, I used one of those scripts to find the mp3s and then move them but I didn't notice that the script was starting with find / as soon as I saw that, I did a ctrl C. When I searched for my files, they were all gone! I know ext4 is really
[03:31] <deepuvc> its not orking
[03:31] <StepNjump> smart but in these situations, it really sucks.. Where does it put the files in the middle of doing a move? I'm trying to understand.. Was everything in the memory? What happened. Did it just delete mp3s or it destroyed more than that.. I like Linux but something has to be done about this clever sytem that doest fragment.. I was JUST about to back up.. It's always like that!!!!
[03:31] <FloodBot1> StepNjump: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:31] <puff_> lol I haven;t gone anywhere for days
[03:31] <deepuvc> its showind can download respitory
[03:31] <puff_> I still gotta get bind9 configged waiting for authorization
[03:32] <puff_> forwarders etc
[03:32] <puff_> bind9 is definitely different from what I am used to
[03:33] <puff_> geez deepovc there is no reason that should not be working
[03:33] <synrat> hi. does anyone know how to send f8 ( safe mode )  key to virt-manager guest  ?  I have a guest 2003 server on 10.04 LTS, which won't boot, but I can't even try to fix it, because the boot sequence is too fast and no f8 key doesn't catch it in time.

[03:35] <rhizmoe> what's the tiniest audio player I can use to preview .wav files in nautilus?
[03:35] <deepuvc> puff how can i change he colours of the folders
[03:36] <deepuvc> in ubundu 11.10
[03:36] <bendon> hey i'm new to linux...  is there a way i can access newtwork share folders (ie smb://server/folder) at the command line.  its easy in gui, i know, but i wanna access media from a windows share drive and use ffmpeg to converti it (on an ubuntu computer).  How do I reference network share folders, or is the question, where are they mounted when I access them through gui file manager.  I'm guessing
[03:36] <bendon> my problem is the same reason you cant just drag files from a network share folder into vlc, you have to double click them to open.
[03:36] <rhizmoe> deepuvc: icon set
[03:36] <zakk> bendon: http://www.linux-noob.com/forums/index.php?/topic/1404-how-to-mount-a-windows-share-with-smbmount/
[03:36] <bendon> cheers mate
[03:36] <deepuvc> where is that
[03:36] <urlin2u> synrat, that must be a windows server you have the install iso?
[03:37] <rhizmoe> oh you'll probably want to make it a static mount, too
[03:37] <rhizmoe> the double-click thing is probably automount getting woken up
[03:38] <walden> hi, how do i remove twitter accounts from gwibber?
[03:38] <bendon> da,m thought it would be easier than that.  will be using the flash drive.  thanx every1
[03:38] <walden> oh nevermind i got it
[03:38] <rhizmoe> walden: probably the accounts thingy
[03:38] <walden> silly gwibber UI makes the + - icons look grayed out
[03:39] <TomHua> Hello. anyone knows how to get the XChat alert sounds?
[03:39] <puff_> man I can't get a straight answer to the ports question
[03:40] <TomHua> hmmm
[03:40] <TomHua> hey puff_
[03:41] <D_Russ> anyone know anything about nvidia drivers?
[03:42] <haylo> i think your ubuntu install should detect them in "additional drivers"
[03:43] <walden> is there a plugin for Thunderbird that will make it easier to save notes to your IMAP server?
[03:43] <walden> i'm thinking of something like apple's notes feature for iphone
[03:43] <D_Russ> was trying to get steam and team fortress to work on 11.10 with wine, but i am having some graphics issues. it will start and all but there is no color on the characters
[03:43] <D_Russ> unplayable
[03:44] <ActionParsnip> D_Russ: did you check the wine appdb?
[03:44] <haylo> i like my games with real high graphics quality and have heard that wine cant really do this
[03:44] <D_Russ> nvidia has drivers for ubuntu on there site but i cant get them to install
[03:44] <D_Russ> so you just use windows haylo?
[03:44] <ActionParsnip> haylo: I've played doom3 at some fairly high settings..
[03:44] <haylo> but i do want to try windows sauerbraten on linux in wine
[03:44] <ActionParsnip> D_Russ: the drivers are in the repos, you don't need the nvidia site
[03:44] <alien2050> D_Russ: should be fairly easy to install nv drivers
[03:45] <ActionParsnip> !info sauerbraten
[03:45] <haylo> mayeb il do that tonight and compare the fps
[03:45] <almoxarife> D_Russ: listen to ActionParsnip
[03:45] <ActionParsnip> haylo: why need wine, its a native app...?
[03:45] <D_Russ> so the drivers that i have should be good enough?
[03:45] <haylo> just curious what fps i would get
[03:45] <haylo> i get 200- 600 in ubuntu
[03:45] <puff_> deepuvc: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter#Handling_a_broken_apt_cache
[03:46] <ActionParsnip> D_Russ: just run:  sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get install nvidia-current     and you will have nvidia's driver installed..
[03:46] <haylo> wonder what windows version would pull in wine
[03:46] <puff_> that may be it
[03:46] <puff_> it's stuck
[03:46] <almoxarife> !wine
[03:46] <ActionParsnip> haylo: 200fps is pretty sweet
[03:46] <D_Russ> thanks ActionPArsnip
[03:46] <puff_> Wine is a delightful fermented grape drink that will make you weak and silly.
[03:46] <blackshirt> My cheese not detected my webcam..it says no devices found.how to fix this?
[03:46] <puff_> brb
[03:47] <ActionParsnip> blackshirt: run:  lsusb   and use the 8 character hex id to find guides
[03:48] <blackshirt> Lsusb?
[03:48] <Rum> http://linux.die.net/man/8/lsusb
[03:49] <ActionParsnip> blackshirt: yes, all in lowercase in a terminal
[03:49] <g0th> hi
[03:49] <g0th> how do I remove the damn realtek audio driver?
[03:49] <walden> anyone know how to use Xnote for thunderbird?
[03:49] <D_Russ> yeah i already have the nvidia drivers installed as per the terminal. So i guess it just wont work with my PC. i have seen people getting it working on youtube, must be diffrent graphics cards in there PC
[03:49] <walden> g0th: is it in restricted drivers?
[03:50] <haylo> D_Russ, what is your Nvidea GPU ?
[03:50] <ActionParsnip> D_Russ: of course it will work
[03:50] <haylo> i mean what is the make?
[03:50] <D_Russ> gt230 i beleive
[03:50] <ActionParsnip> D_Russ: what gpu do you use?
[03:50] <D_Russ> let me double check
[03:50] <g0th> walden: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsCheck.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=24&PFid=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false#High%20Definition%20Audio%20Codecs
[03:50] <g0th> this one?
[03:50] <ActionParsnip> D_Russ: and is it part of some optimus crap (dual gpu)?
[03:50] <D_Russ> no its a seperate unit
[03:50] <haylo> sysinfo is ok tool for getting some system info
[03:50] <ActionParsnip> D_Russ: lspci | grep -i vga   will show you
[03:51] <D_Russ> its a gt 230
[03:51] <ActionParsnip> D_Russ: ok then run:  sudo nvidia-xconfig    and reboot, may help. If you get no desktop you can delete /etc/X11/xorg.conf   and reboot to be back where you  are now
[03:52] <D_Russ> if i get no desktop. i wont know how to delete xorg.cong
[03:53] <puff_> that's easy sudo  rm -f xorg.conf
[03:54] <ozzloy> what's the name of the tool that allows you to select different installation profiles, like "desktop" or "mail-server" or "lamp" etc. ?
[03:54] <puff_> from console
[03:54] <puff_> then startx
[03:54] <Flannel> ozzloy: tasksel
[03:54] <ozzloy> yuss
[03:54] <ozzloy> thanks
[03:54] <g0th> walden: so how do I remove it?
[03:55] <dexter_> hi guys , , , i just installed lubuntu , , one question is can i install unity on it?
[03:55] <D_Russ> im goin to come back to this issue another time. i already deleted steam from my ubuntu box, i have just been using it on my work PC. So no rush.
[03:57] <wiggmpk> alright, so my log files are becoming enormous in size, this is the second time I have receive 'low disk space on root' notifications. what is going on?
[03:58] <ubluntu> wiggmpk: read the logs ?
[03:58] <ubluntu> \
[03:58] <FreezingCold> Is it safe to edit my mbr while running a distro on the same drive?  Or must I do it from a LiveCD?
[03:59] <wiggmpk> ubluntu: it's not just 1 particular log file, nothing looks wrong, but why are they getting this large without any size constraint?
[04:02] <SVNDR> Does Ubuntu11.10 create its own partitions.. i dont have to create them myself do i?
[04:02] <blackshirt> How to change keyboard layout or config on ubuntu through terminal?
[04:02] <theoneguy> it is safe to overwrite the MBR.
[04:03] <acerimmer> theoneguy: more info
[04:03] <escott> SVNDR, can be done either way. you can manual partition or just tell ubuntu to use the whole disk or install alongside windows and it will choose a default partition setup
[04:03] <theoneguy> ubuntu will create its own partitions.
[04:04] <oneliner> 35% packet loss on my ethernet currently, any advice on driver applications?
[04:04] <SVNDR> escott: yea i figured as much.. well ive tried about 4 times not to install ubuntu using USB and i have no succeeded once..
[04:05] <theoneguy> since the mbr is not used/being accessed while any operating system is booted, it is safe to overswrite it.
[04:05] <almoxarife> theoneguy: it is if grub replaces mbr and grub sees your win partitions , the good news is that either way, mbr can be replaced
[04:05] <escott> SVNDR, if you want to tell us more details we might be able to offer a suggestion
[04:07] <blackshirt> How to change keyboard layout?
[04:08] <ActionParsnip> blackshirt: which deskrop / shell do you use?
[04:08] <ActionParsnip> oneliner: tried a different cable?
[04:08] <SVNDR> escott: well i was in here earlier today, and yesterday and the day before lol i thinks its my USB to be blunt.. but a new face is a new idea.. I get to the point where i have burnt the image to USB, using Universal USB Installer, i then restart my laptop so it can boot into the setup, i get to the screen that offeres option like Install To Hard Drive, Chech Disk For Errors ect.. Wether i select
[04:08] <SVNDR> install or check.. my USB drive will start to mount and unmount over and over again until the setup bring up a fail screen..
[04:09] <escott> SVNDR, sounds like a bad usb
[04:09] <oneliner> ActionParsnip: hardware issues ruled out by means of dual boot, win7 internet functions on same box/setup is flawless
[04:10] <ActionParsnip> oneliner: have you disabled ipv6?
[04:10] <ActionParsnip> oneliner: how much RAM do you have?
[04:10] <blackshirt> Action. Unity desktop
[04:11] <SVNDR> escott: yea, it does everything else a USB should, just not this.. its annoying i tell you what
[04:11] <oneliner> am pretty sure i saw all settings for ipv6 disabled, but i can double check, cant remeber conf file name for network sys
[04:11] <ActionParsnip> blackshirt: press tab after you type action ;)
[04:11] <ActionParsnip> blackshirt: its under system settings.
[04:11] <oneliner> ActionParsnip: 8gb ram
[04:11] <ActionParsnip> oneliner: add this to /etc/sysctl.conf    http://paste.ubuntu.com/795664/
[04:12] <ActionParsnip> oneliner: then run:  sudo sysctl -p
[04:12] <ActionParsnip> oneliner: assigns more RAM to network caches, can help
[04:12] <blackshirt> ActionParsnip..how do this on terminal?
[04:13] <oneliner> ok will try
[04:14] <JWFoxJr> running 11.10 - can someone point me to a good how-to for configuring the resolution of the console framebuffer
[04:14] <ActionParsnip> blackshirt: search dash for system settings, its in there
[04:14] <vks> HEllo
[04:15] <wiggmpk> question about command, make sure I have it right, if I use "rm -rfv /var/log/*" that will remove all files & subdirectories of /var/log but not the parent correct?
[04:15] <JWFoxJr> wiggmpk: that's correctg
[04:16] <wiggmpk> JWFoxJr: thnkx
[04:16] <SVNDR> has anyone in here ever sucsessfully installed Ubuntu11.10 using iPhone4 (jailbroken) running 'USB Drive' - Or any other application for that matter??
[04:16] <oneliner> ActionParsnip: should i allow packet forwarding for ipv4?
[04:18] <SVNDR> !au
[04:22] <oneliner> ActionParsnip: no apparent change
[04:22] <oneliner> connection "freezes" at regular intervals
[04:25] <manuel_> LINUX MINT ROOOOOCKKKKK DA HOUSE!!!!
[04:26] <JWFoxJr> running 11.10 - can someone point me to a good how-to for configuring the resolution of the console framebuffer
[04:26] <ActionParsnip> oneliner: your system isn't a router so forwarding isn't needed. Are there any bugs reported for your driver?
[04:27] <ActionParsnip> manuel_: its also offtopic and not supported here
[04:27] <escott> JWFoxJr, you just modify /etc/default/grub and put in a modeline. many are specified by number like vesa768, but that whole kernel framebuffer resolution mechanism is deprecated is my understanding
[04:27] <ActionParsnip> JWFoxJr: http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/lucidubuntu-10-04-high-resolution-plymouth-virtual-terminal-for-atinvidia-cards-with-proprietaryrestricted-driver/
[04:27] <oneliner> there is one with a backport solution provided
[04:27] <ActionParsnip> oneliner: worth a shot I guess
[04:27] <oneliner> i implemnted that solution currently is the "least ugly" functionality i am using
[04:28] <tellone> I followed a tutorial but missclicked something in CCMS, everything seems to be working now. But is there anyway to reset default just to be safe?
[04:28] <oneliner> fetching bug ml
[04:28] <JWFoxJr> escott ActionParsnip Thanks!
[04:28] <wiggmpk> JWFoxJr: what are you having trouble with? recently installed ATI or Nvidia drivers?
[04:29] <ActionParsnip> tellone: maybe:    gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/compiz-1 unity --reset
[04:29] <JWFoxJr> wiggmpk: no - just never configured it before on ubuntu - used to run gentoo and they still use grub, not grub2 by default
[04:30] <oneliner> also, every dns resolution takes 20 secs apiece
[04:30] <escott> JWFoxJr, there is nothing different about the process. its the same kernel options, you just need to put them in /etc/default/grub
[04:30] <guest-Sqfodd> hello
[04:30] <wiggmpk> JWFoxJr: I just ask because reasons (typically) for changing framebuffer is because of ugly splash screens
[04:30] <ActionParsnip> oneliner: install and configure dnsmasq   and it will make that take 0ms
[04:30] <fisix> YEAH!!!
[04:31] <JWFoxJr> wiggmpk: I could care less about splash screens - I just want a VT with a reasonable (workable) resolution
[04:31] <guest-Sqfodd> help please i cant logim with my username it says password incorrect how can i solve it please
[04:31] <wiggmpk> JWFoxJr: right, which is the only other reason hehe, I was getting there
[04:31] <fisix> guest-Sqfodd, username for what?
[04:32] <ActionParsnip> oneliner: just edit /etc/dnsmasq.conf   line:  #listen=    to listen=<IP_ADDRESS>     then set your first DNS server to be <IP_ADDRESS>    set your interface in network manager to DHCP (address only) then make your DNS be:  <IP_ADDRESS>, <IP_ADDRESS>, <IP_ADDRESS>
[04:32] <oneliner> ActionParsnip: related bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-backports-modules-3.0.0/+bug/839393
[04:32] <JWFoxJr> escott: using VGA=xxx or vesafb:mtrr,ywrap,<resolution@depth> ?
[04:32] <ActionParsnip> oneliner: is it ok in precise live cd?
[04:32] <xmane> hello, i think i have a virus on linux
[04:32] <escott> JWFoxJr, the kernel is the kernel. its a kernel option. use whatever one is correct.
[04:32] <guest-Sqfodd> fisix,  when i start the pc and i have to login i forgot the password
[04:33] <JWFoxJr> escott: nevermind - I hadn't scrolled far enough in the article - I know it was a kernel option, just wasn't sure which method it was going to use
[04:33] <fisix> xmane, what makes you think that?
[04:33] <fisix> guest-Sqfodd, is your drive encrypted?
[04:33] <wiggmpk> JWFoxJr: you can achieve a prettier VT with the info on this site http://askubuntu.com/questions/6033/enabling-nvidia-driver-messes-up-splash-screen
[04:33] <guest-Sqfodd> fisix,  no
[04:33] <escott> guest-Sqfodd, boot to single user rescue mode and you can type passwd username and set your password
[04:34] <xmane> well, every time i go to firefox, it says that i haven't got the latest version and then it redirects me to a ubuntu antivirus
[04:34] <JWFoxJr> wiggmpk: I don't nouveau enabled - I'm using vesafb for framebuffer. :)
[04:34] <xmane> fisix
[04:34] <SVNDR> has anyone in here ever sucsessfully installed Ubuntu11.10 using iPhone4 (jailbroken) running 'USB Drive' - Or any other application for that matter??
[04:34] <wiggmpk> JWFoxJr: should work just the same, the info on what you need is there
[04:34] <guest-Sqfodd> escott,  how coz i a, using guest login now
[04:35] <oneliner> ActionParsnip: precise live cd?
[04:35] <fisix> guest-Sqfodd, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword
[04:35] <escott> guest-Sqfodd, reboot. hit esc (just after bios post) to bring up the grub menu select single, you will get a root terminal a bit later. type passwd yourUsernameHere and put in a new password
[04:35] <wiggmpk> JWFoxJr: you basically just need to change GRUB_GFXMODE= to whatever resolution you want and then follow the updates
[04:37] <escott> wiggmpk, why does everyone suggest GRUB_GFXMODE? what relationship does that have to the kernel framebuffer?
[04:37] <guest-Sqfodd> escott,  ok i try thanx
[04:37] <wiggmpk> escott: it does the same thing, and is easier to do
[04:38] <JWFoxJr> BRB - rebooting... <crossing fingers>
[04:38] <fisix> ESCOTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[04:39] <escott> wiggmpk, not according to the documentation: #GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480... The entry sets the resolution of the graphical menu (the menu text size). ... The setting applies only to the boot menu display, not the resolution of the operating system that boots.
[04:39] <wajeemba> hey, is there a good way to tell ubuntu desktop to NOT start an X session on boot?
[04:40] <escott> wajeemba, add "text" to the boot options
[04:40] <wajeemba> escott: "text" to the boot options in grub?
[04:41] <slipknot> hi
[04:41] <oneliner> wajeemba: alter the default grub entry to text where it says quiet splash
[04:41] <escott> wajeemba, GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub
[04:41] <escott> wajeemba, then run update-grub
[04:42] <bahaa> firefox keeps crashing and I suspect the problem is with ubuntu
[04:42] <ActionParsnip> wajeemba: in tne quotes with: quiet splash
[04:42] <bahaa> I have ubuntu10.10 on the box
[04:42] <bahaa> how can I know what's the problem?
[04:42] <ActionParsnip> bahaa: run it from a terminal, the output will be useful
[04:42] <wiggmpk> escott: well it was the only way I was able to achieve the size & display I desired
[04:43] <ActionParsnip> bahaa: also try disabling addons (if you have any), one by one to ssee if it makes it ok. Then you know the addon is to blame
[04:43] <scotty^> bahaa - Having a problem with Firefox?
[04:43] <bahaa> ActionParsnip, it gave nothing, but in the report it wanted to send to mozila I notice it says there is a segmentation error
[04:44] <bahaa> scotty^, yes but I suspect it's made by the OS, cause it's a fresh firefox and the previous one used to make the same problem
[04:44] <wiggmpk> escott: I am not a good person to discuss the pros or cons with it, I just gave a solution that worked for his needs
[04:45] <fenris> Hi everyone ^_^
[04:46] <scotty^> bahaa - is it crashing repeatedly on the same web page?  Or on random webpages?
[04:46] <escott> wiggmpk, im just puzzled because i wouldn't think it would work
[04:46] <guest-NAWBkw> escott,  back nothing done with esc, if i do shift after boot it shows gnu loading and it appears another screen sync out of range...
[04:46] <PAVAN> HELLO GUYS
[04:47] <bahaa> scotty^, repeatedly on random webpages
[04:47] <Guest46554> can anybody help with UEFI and Grub? or help with Grub2 GPT and Grub2 MBR??
[04:47] <bahaa> scotty^, "SecondsSinceLastCrash: 6" from the report
[04:47] <wiggmpk> escott: the website I linked and it's suggestion worked for me, a tighter looking VT and higher resolution splash screens and lightDM display
[04:47] <alexim> hi, i'm plugging in a wonky usb hard drive to Ubuntu 11.10, and it automatically mounts it as read-only (that's fine), but the mount point (at /media/foodrive) doesn't allow everyone read and exec, it's set at drwxrwx---. how can i add rx to everyone?
[04:48] <wajeemba> hmm, now all I get on reboot is "Failed to send power mode. Command timed out."
[04:48] <scotty^> bahaa - I could be an addon, like ActionParsnip said.  Also, try disabling Javascript in Firefox's preferences.
[04:50] <escott> guest-NAWBkw, sounds like you figured out how to bring up the grub menu but the grub graphics mode is no good. two approaches (1) guess at the position of the recovery boot option (it should be the second or third maybe?) so shift down arrow down array enter. or boot a livecd/install cd and fix things up from a chroot
[04:52] <ActionParsnip> alexim: you will need to remount it with better options
[04:52] <guest-NAWBkw> escott,  please help and tell me what can i do
[04:53] <escott> guest-NAWBkw, do you have a install cd on you?
[04:53] <lordlimecat> I just ran ecryptfs-user-migrate on a user, and logged in, but was not prompted to generate a passphrase, and the data does not appear encrypted from a root shell, but it was moved to a user.random folder.  Help!
[04:53] <lordlimecat> what do i need to do to finish the process?
[04:53] <guest-NAWBkw> escott,  yes
[04:54] <slipknot>  hi i am trying to compile ardrone sdk on linux ubuntu 11.10 and i get this error http://pastebin.com/JyykmDqk any idea
[04:54] <escott> guest-NAWBkw, boot that, go to the livecd, and log back in to irc from there. we can give you chroot instructions from that point
[04:55] <_jam> i'm using kubuntu 11.10. upgraded FF to 9 today. Now firefox will not accept external links.
[04:55] <_jam> has anyone else seen this behavior?
[04:55] <Guest46554> Im trying to triple boot in UEFI mode, w7, Linux and MacOS
[04:55] <ActionParsnip> _jam: external links in what way?
[04:55] <guest-NAWBkw> escott,  i have ubuntu 10.10 live cd not the 11.10...
[04:55] <trism> slipknot: sudo apt-get install libcwiid-dev
[04:55] <escott> guest-NAWBkw, thats fine
[04:56] <_jam> if I click on a link in irc or whatever, firefox pops open a window "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system."
[04:56] <guest-NAWBkw> escott, ok
[04:56] <bahaa> ActionParsnip, scotty^: I disabled all the plugins and it crashed again
[04:56] <ActionParsnip> _jam: is firefox already running?
[04:56] <alexim> ActionParsnip: i tried a "mount -o uid=1000,gid=1000", but the mount point is still owned by uid 99
[04:56] <_jam> yes
[04:56] <const_antine> can someone explain the concept of system time vs user time? according to time manpage, system time is cpu time used by system on behalf of process, while user time is cpu time used by process directly... isn't it all cpu time for process?
[04:57] <_jam> using the terminal, i get the error with "firefox -P default "http://google.com"" also -new-tab, -new-window, -browser
[04:57] <trism> slipknot: in fact, it seems like none of those packages were installed, so install all of them
[04:57] <slipknot> sudo
[04:57] <ActionParsnip> _jam: maybe your old profile from the previous version is causing an issue, if you close firefox and rename ~/.mozilla/firefox    is it ok?
[04:57] <trism> slipknot: except libcwiid1-dev since that package doesn't exist anymore
[04:57] <_jam> well, I've tried using my "clean" profile which changes nothing and has no addons and it has the same behavior
[04:57] <_jam> changes no settings*
[04:58] <escott> const_antine, the accounting is separate for a number of reasons but in part because system time is affected indirectly by other processes running on the machine, but user time is not
[04:58] <scotty^> bahaa - try disabling Javascript in Firefox's preferences
[04:58] <slipknot> trism, i installed i get the same error
[04:58] <ActionParsnip> _jam: what is the output of:  file `which filefox`
[04:58] <bahaa> const_antine, maybe this means that when the process uses the cpu it user time, but when cpu works something for the process it's system time, (like if the cpu makes some stuff ready for the process)
[04:59] <_jam> ActionParsnip: /usr/bin/firefox
[04:59] <trism> slipknot: libavutil/avutil.h is in libavutil-dev so not all of them
[05:00] <pksadiq> _jam: he asked to do    file `!!`
[05:00] <ActionParsnip> _jam: what is the output of:  ls /usr/bin/firefox*
[05:00] <slipknot> trism, ok i will try
[05:00] <const_antine> bahaa, if i understand multitasking, cpu runs processes and threads, it is not "aware" of relation between one process and other
[05:00] <ActionParsnip> _jam: use a pastebin to host the text
[05:00] <_jam> fwiw, /usr/bin/firefox is a symlink to ../lib/firefox-9.0.1/firefox.sh
[05:00] <trism> slipknot: there is a list at the start of your pastebin 'You should install the following packages...'
[05:00] <_jam> there is only one firefox executable in /usr/bin
[05:00] <ActionParsnip> _jam: ok cool
[05:01] <scotty^> _jam - Have you updated ubufox and xul-ext-ubufox to 1.0.2-0ubuntu<IP_ADDRESS> ?  That should help.
[05:01] <ActionParsnip> _jam: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[05:01] <const_antine> though maybe CPU is not purely process based
[05:01] <Emerling> gnome-shell starts as classic, I uninstalled an apt-get purge re install and does not begin as before,
[05:01] <escott> const_antine, system time is in kernel kernel-mode time, user is non-kernel user mode code
[05:01] <_jam> ActionParsnip: oneiric
[05:02] <Guest46554> so ... anybody feels like trying a challenge?
[05:02] <_jam> ubufox is not installed, xul-ext-ubufox is 1.0.2....
[05:02] <Emerling> i need rreescue gnome-shell as before. :( help
[05:02] <lordlimecat> is there a way to undo a half-finished ecryptfs home migrate command?
[05:02] <ActionParsnip> _jam: may help http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/how-to-fix-firefox-is-already-running-error/
[05:03] <ActionParsnip> _jam: remove the lock and/or parentlock file and it should be ok
[05:03]  * ActionParsnip hates firefox
[05:03] <pksadiq> Guest46554: ???
[05:03] <const_antine> escott, so picking a memory page to allocate or free, for example, would be system time?
[05:03] <_jam> well, firefox is running. it should be! ok, just tried moving .mozilla and it works with a clean folder
[05:03] <_jam> UGH
[05:04] <pksadiq> _jam: does it says firefox is already running, then do sudo kilall firefox   and rerun firefox. thats all
[05:04] <Guest46554> Im dealing with UEFI here, and its kind of hard as there isnt much documentation pksadiq
[05:04] <_jam> pksadiq: yea, i've tried restarting firefox, doesn't work
[05:04] <pksadiq> _jam: did you did sudo killall firefox  ?
[05:04] <ActionParsnip> _jam: ok then use that and port your bookmarks over and such. Looks like the old version profile  is the issue, the new profile created by the new version is obviously the key :)
[05:04] <_jam> there are no firefox processes running
[05:05] <pksadiq> _jam: do ps aux | grep -i firefox  and find its ecxact name
[05:05] <escott> const_antine, yes. but the accounting gets weird, because if your app requests a page and that triggers a LRU walk to find pages to write out to swap who gets assigned that time? so often that gets done in another thread and the time is lost, but it can appear as real wall clock time, hence the reason for the separation.
[05:05] <_jam> pksadiq: there are no firefox processes running
[05:05] <pksadiq> _jam: k
[05:05] <slipknot> trism, the packages is installed the makefile bash script file show always routine checking library from begin
[05:06] <pksadiq> _jam: I do get the same error, and do the above fix, so I said
[05:07] <Guest46554> pksadiq: basically triple booting (linux, w7, mac os x) (chainloading either grub2 uefi to grub2 mbr or grub2 uefi to chameleon)
[05:07] <slipknot> trism, http://pastebin.com/mDubLMEQ
[05:07] <_jam> ok, trying the lockfiles
[05:08] <trism> slipknot: yes, libcwiid1-dev doesn't exist anymore, install libcwiid-dev instead (but keep all the rest on that line)
[05:09] <Resistance> can unity be uninstalled on natty?
[05:10] <Emerling> help me, my gnome-shell starts as classic, I uninstalled an apt-get purge ...re-install and does not begin normal as before,
[05:10] <escott> Resistance, not advisable. if you dont want to use it just dont use it
[05:11] <_jam> ok, removing the lockfiles did not work, and I just tried opening a link after removing the lockfile of a running firefox process. i'm pretty sure that was stupid
[05:11] <Resistance> escott:  why is it unadvised
[05:11] <Resistance> its in a VM
[05:11] <escott> Emerling, try gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.session session-name 'gnome-fallback'
[05:12] <bahaa> scotty^, I'll disable javascript, but there's something strange that it crashes even before opening anypage
[05:12] <slipknot> trism, i now it is installed for this reason i am confused why the make file show again that he need this file http://pastebin.com/bVLNViAT
[05:12] <hendaus> escott:  i am back from live cd
[05:13] <escott> Resistance, its too easy to get carried away and remove too many things and then end up without a working desktop
[05:13] <_jam> and yet, it seems to have worked
[05:13] <escott> hendaus, open a terminal and type "sudo -i" then we need to know a couple things: (a) was ubuntu the only os on the system? (b) do you know how the disk was partitioned
[05:13] <trism> slipknot: just say no when it asks you to install the package, and it should move on with the compile
[05:14] <trism> slipknot: if not the code may need a bit of patching
[05:14] <_jam> so, that really makes no sense. removed the lock files while no processes running. start process. lock file gets recreated (of course) things still fail. remove lock file while process is running. try to open link from external source. things go CRAZY. quit processes. restart. works.
[05:15] <Emerling> escott, thanks,  i try again
[05:15] <Resistance> escott:  its in a VM.  It cant handle Unity, and is limited on disk space.  its a special-case test situation (hence the VM)
[05:15] <hendaus> escott:  yes just ubuntu os and i have not partition the disk i have one hd that i am using ubuntu and the second hd is sata
[05:15] <_jam> thanks for your help
[05:16] <escott> Resistance, then ubuntu-server would probably be a better choice than the desktop os
[05:16] <grammy> hi all, I'm new to unity and can't find the hotkey to minimize all the open ap's and to show the desktop...does anyone know how to put a shortcut to the launcher that will bring up the display for the desktop?
[05:16] <bullgard6> [Synaptic > description of  »streamripper«] Are the terms »online stream« and »radio stream« synonymous?
[05:16] <slipknot> trism, http://pastebin.com/YSVrBKQq i typed no and the same problem
[05:17] <escott> hendaus, in that case your ubuntu system is probably /dev/sda1 but since you have multiple disks you might want to open the disk utility and identify what device is the ubuntu device
[05:17] <NotJimCarrey> trying to cross compile for arm and installed codesorcery, but getting "Error: Missing 32-bit libraries on 64-bit Linux host"
[05:17] <NotJimCarrey> anyone been through this before?
[05:17] <pksadiq>  grammy: ALT+CTRL+D? not sure
[05:18] <urgodfather> will someone help me configure my capture card
[05:18] <grammy> wow, will try it, didn't even think of a keyboard entry!!!
[05:18] <escott> hendaus, in particular we are looking for the "Device: /dev/sd??" that appears in the second column under the Volumes rectangle once you click on the disk and then on the correct partition
[05:18] <hendaus> escott:  /dev/sda
[05:19] <escott> hendaus, so assuming since you have only one partition it is /dev/sda1 then run the following commands: "mkdir /ubuntu" and "mount /dev/sda1 /ubuntu"
[05:19] <grammy> control-alt-D does it, many many many ty to you and all who maintain and contribute to this media outlet.
[05:20] <escott> hendaus, then run "ls /ubuntu" and you should see some things like "bin boot lib media sbin usr var"
[05:21] <NotJimCarrey> yes, ia32libs is installed
[05:21] <hendaus> escott:  /dev/sda1 looks like swapspace - not mounted mount: you must specify the filesystem type
[05:21] <trism> slipknot: so you installed libavutil-dev? if so I am out of ideas
[05:21] <escott> hendaus, try sda2 then
[05:21] <urgodfather> will someone help me configure my capture card? its a phillips pci tv tuner and im on natty.
[05:22] <pksadiq> !bttv
[05:22] <ActionParsnip> urgodfather: run:  lspci    I assume its a pci device, use the line identifying the device to find guides
[05:23] <hendaus> escott:  yes done
[05:23] <urgodfather> Actionparsnip: thanks. brb
[05:23] <escott> hendaus, and does "ls /ubuntu" list the normal contents of a "/" partition ie "usr bin sbin etc"
[05:24] <hendaus> esc escott  yes
[05:24] <escott> hendaus, ok then "chroot /ubuntu /bin/bash" you may get some warnings because we havent done any bind mounts, but they shouldnt be needed here
[05:24] <escott> hendaus, then "passwd fillInYourUsernameHere"
[05:25] <hendaus> escott:  chroot: failed to run command `/bin/bash': Exec format error
[05:25] <urgodfather> actionparsnip:02:02.0 Multimedia video controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Video Capture (rev 11) 02:02.1 Multimedia controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Audio Capture (rev 11)
[05:25] <ActionParsnip> urgodfather: ok, nice and generic
[05:26] <ActionParsnip> urgodfather: you will find lots of guides for it
[05:26] <urgodfather> actionparsnip: 2 lines?
[05:26] <escott> hendaus, is your livecd a 32bit live cd? is your installed system a 64bit system?
[05:26] <Ben64> that capture card should "just work"
[05:26] <urgodfather> actionparsnip: i pulled from powermac g4
[05:26] <ActionParsnip> urgodfather: search for:  Bt878 Video Capture ubuntu
[05:26] <hendaus> escott:  how can i know?
[05:27] <Ben64> urgodfather: try installing/running tvtime
[05:28] <urgodfather> Ben64: will do in a sec, dont i need drivers of some sort?
[05:28] <escott> hendaus, "uname -i" will tell you the version of your livecd. "ls /ubuntu/lib64" will indicate if the installed system in a 64bit system (if it give a no-such file error then you have a 32bit installed system, otherwise it is 64bit)
[05:28] <pksadiq> !mythtv | urgodfather
[05:28] <Ben64> urgodfather: should already have em
[05:28] <urgodfather> Ben64: ok thanks
[05:29] <hendaus> escott:  unknown
[05:30] <escott> hendaus, what is the full "uname -a" output
[05:30] <hendaus> escott:  ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
[05:30] <AlexRamallo> I have 2 cards in my computer: 1 ati and 1 nvidia. 4 monitors connected (dvi+vga on ati, and hdmi+vga on nvidia). However, only dual monitors are working. The other two monitors on the nvidia card just show a purple screen with the word "ubuntu" in the middle
[05:30] <AlexRamallo> how can I get 4 monitors to work?
[05:31] <bullgard6> [Synaptic > description of  »streamripper«] Are the terms »online stream« and »radio stream« synonymous?
[05:31] <hendaus> escott:  Linux ubuntu 2.6.35-22-generic #33-Ubuntu SMP Sun Sep 19 20:34:50 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
[05:31] <escott> hendaus, oh weird. sounds like you are in the chroot already. not sure why it complained about bash
[05:31] <AlexRamallo> does anyone know? :\
[05:32] <slipknot> trism, finaly it work
[05:32] <escott> hendaus, nevermind. yep. you have a 64bit installed system and a 32bit livecd. that wont work. we need a 64bit install cd
[05:33] <hendaus> escott:  ok wait
[05:33] <Platehead> YOU COME TO PEACE.IGNORELIST.COM 6667 OR NZCHATTER.NET FOR A GOOD CHAT ;]
[05:33] <escott> hendaus, we could try something fancy if you dont have a 64bit install cd, but im not 100% sure it would work
[05:33] <ActionParsnip> AlexRamallo: its waaaaay easier to match manufacturers, you may need to go back to the old days and make an xorg.conf.  Xrandr may also be able to do it
[05:36] <hendaus> escott:  i have 64 bits live cd
[05:36] <hendaus> escott:  can u wait ..
[05:36] <escott> hendaus, then thats the easiest approach
[05:37] <escott> i need to get to sleep soon. but its just going to be "sudo -i; mkdir /ubuntu; mount /dev/sda2 /ubuntu; chroot ubuntu /bin/bash; passwd yourUsernameHere"
[05:41] <roosh> the rt73usb driver that came with ubuntu is not working, any help?
[05:41] <const_antine> sudo rm -Rf /.
[05:41] <roosh> um, don't be silly
[05:42] <const_antine> aww
[05:42] <roosh> you shouldn't post stuff like that
[05:42] <roosh> someone's gonna actually try it
[05:42] <ActionParsnip> !danger
[05:43] <roosh> anyways, anyone will to help out?
[05:44] <rghosh> I'm creating a Maverick-based live USB image that boots in text mode.  What is the best way to have it run a program at startup instead of presenting a shell?
[05:44] <hendaus> escott:  back
[05:45] <escott> hendaus, so "sudo -i" then "mkdir /ubuntu" then "mount /dev/sda2 /ubuntu" then "ls /ubuntu" and verify it has the root directory contents then "chroot /ubuntu" then "passwd yourUsername"
[05:46] <urgodfather> will someone explain "bootable" flag to me? i thinki i misht be misunderstanding it.
[05:46] <totesmuhgoats> urgodfather: it sets which partition is bootable
[05:46] <ActionParsnip> urgodfather: its not needed if you are using grub
[05:46] <totesmuhgoats> oh, lol i didn't even realize i was in a linux channel
[05:47] <escott> urgodfather, its required by some bioses http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/23560/what-is-the-bootable-flag-option-when-installing-a-distro
[05:47] <urgodfather> ok, well lemme specify.... i have two ntfs partitions that i want to mount at startup and unmount at shutdown
[05:48] <ActionParsnip> urgodfather: then add them in /etc/fstab
[05:48] <hendaus> escott:  yes done\
[05:48] <puff_> weird I got 106.9Gb of freespace in my home dir yet for some odd reason it wouldn't write my downlos of the earth3D zip file which is only 1.1Gb
[05:48] <hendaus> escott:  now what
[05:48] <urgodfather> looked at pysdm but one one was fvisible
[05:49] <puff_> folder limit for Download?
[05:49] <escott> hendaus, thats it
[05:49] <urgodfather> actionparsnip: so gedit fstab and what command would i add?
[05:49] <escott> hendaus, you are done. if it didnt give an errors your password is now changed
[05:49] <hendaus> escott:  so let me try
[05:49] <hendaus> escott:  thanx escott  brb
[05:49] <puff_> see if that had been porn it would have worked
[05:50] <ActionParsnip> urgodfather: I suggest you search for examples online, its well documented
[05:50] <ActionParsnip> urgodfather: you'll need:  gksudo gedit /etc/fstab     too, it is owned by root
[05:51] <bullgard6> How to determine if the current Ubuntu release is a result of a release upgrade or a fresh install?
[05:51] <urgodfather> actionparsnip: ok thanks. im reading the fstab now
[05:52] <ActionParsnip> urgodfather: the folder you mount to must exist and is an empty folder
[05:54] <puff_> woot I got it, just jacked in to the MODIS satellite
[05:54] <urgodfather> actionparsnip: now you're confusing me... lol... folder?
[05:54] <ActionParsnip> urgodfather: yes, folder. Like a windows folder, you mount partitions to folders
[05:55] <puff_> lol now let's see what kind of resolution I can get
[05:55] <ActionParsnip> urgodfather: the folder will then be the access point to the data on the partition, linux doesn't use restrictuive drive letters, it has a file structure and you simply attach data storages where you want
[05:55] <urgodfather> actionparsnip: ex. when i mount my media part. i see in disk util. that its mounted to /media/media partition
[05:55] <ActionParsnip> urgodfather: its a lot more flexible
[05:55] <puff_> tell your girlfriends to put there tops back on I am definitley looking
[05:55] <hendaus> escott,  back
[05:56] <escott> hendaus, did it work?
[05:56] <ActionParsnip> urgodfather: /media/media is simply a folder created by udev, the partition is then mounted there so that when you access that folder you will be shown the contents of the partition you mounted
[05:56] <hendaus> escott,  yes sure :) thanx friend
[05:57] <escott> hendaus, fix your grub resolution with /etc/default/grub (uncomment the grubfx_mode
[05:58] <urgodfather> actionparsnip: yeah i think i get the concept now. however, i still dont know why pysdm didnt show my partitions when i installed it /:
[05:58] <escott> hendaus, you will want your grub menu to work in case anything ever goes wrong during the boot process (or you need to get to the recovery console). so uncomment the #GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480 line and run update-grub then reboot and check that the grub menu is visible when you press shift
[05:59] <titanes> hey
[05:59] <ActionParsnip> urgodfather: if you have existing partitions, if you use the custom partitioning, you can specify the partition to be mounted and put in fstab during install (if memory serves)
[06:00] <titanes> o hai
[06:00] <titanes> I NEEDZZ HALP!!!
[06:00] <hendaus> escott,  #GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480
[06:01] <titanes> I was banned from #ubuntu-women for no apparent reason whatsoever
[06:01] <escott> hendaus, remove the # you will need to run gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub to be able to edit the file
[06:01] <ActionParsnip> titanes: ask in #ubuntu-ops
[06:02] <Vaelstrom> goodnight!
[06:02] <abhi_> hello
[06:02] <hendaus> escott,  done
[06:02] <abhi_> i'm using ubuntu 11.10
[06:02] <abhi_> and installed gnome3
[06:03] <puff_> abhi_: most of us are
[06:03] <abhi_> is it safe to install ATI restricted driver under gnome3?
[06:03] <abhi_> will it work?
[06:03] <escott> hendaus, update-grub will regenerate your grub.cfg config file. then when you reboot and press shift you should see some options
[06:03] <ActionParsnip> abhi_: gnome3 is default in Oneiric, unless you install xubuntu, Kununtu etc (or minimal)
[06:03] <ActionParsnip> abhi_: yes, install away
[06:03] <abhi_> currently using opensource driver (gallium)
[06:04] <puff_> so far I haven;t found too much it won't do I am currently viewing the entire world from space via satellite :)
[06:04] <hendaus> escott,  ok brb
[06:04] <abhi_> but i heard that fglrx driver cause problem under gnome3
[06:04] <abhi_> is it true?
[06:04] <urgodfather> actionparsnip: yes, i have existing partitions. 1 is ext4 2 is logical with 5 ntfs inside 3 ntfs 4 swap
[06:04] <abhi_> i.e. under Fedora 16 it causing problem
[06:05] <urgodfather> actionparsnip: so the layout looks like    1      4      4     2 +5
[06:05] <BullShark> would somebody crontab -e and pastebin the commented lines (ones beginning with #
[06:05] <urgodfather> in the middle is 3
[06:05] <BullShark> would somebody crontab -e and pastebin the commented lines (ones beginning with #
[06:06] <BullShark> would somebody crontab -e and pastebin the commented lines (ones beginning with #) please?
[06:06] <abhi_> how to install ATI restricted driver under ubuntu?
[06:06] <BullShark> sorry about that
[06:07] <Flannel> BullShark: month hour day-of-month month day-of-week command
[06:07] <puff_> it's almost a shame what we have done to this planet
[06:07] <Flannel> BullShark: usually that's abbreviated as 'm h dom mon dow command'
[06:07] <abhi_> which one to install?
[06:07] <abhi_> fglrx-updates?
[06:08] <abhi_> plz someone inform me
[06:09] <BullShark> Flannel ☠ i know whats in it, but i do not have it on my distro and would like to add it. mind adding it to pastebin for me?
[06:09] <bullgard6> [Synaptic > description of  »streamripper«] Are the terms »online stream« and »radio stream« synonymous?
[06:09] <Flannel> BullShark: Put a pound sign in front of those, replace the spaces with tabs.... that's the whole file.
[06:10] <BullShark> Flannel ☠ -.-
[06:10] <hendaus> escott,  it shows gnu loading and then it appears another screen that says sync out of range and after seconds the monitor switch on starting ubuntu
[06:10] <puff_> your xorg.conf is off then
[06:10] <ActionParsnip> urgodfather: use UUIDs and you'll have fewer issues
[06:11] <ActionParsnip> urgodfather: run:  sudo blkid     then look at your fstab file, you'll see what I mean ;)
[06:11] <abhi_> which one i should install? fglrx-updates?
[06:12] <escott> hendaus, thats annoying you may have to play around with the GFXMODE to get it to work. but what is sync out of range is the grub menu, so you can't select what kernel to boot or what boot options to use, which is not good. it means you have to have the livecd handy to rescue any boot issues or lost passwords
[06:12] <escott> hendaus, you might go years without needing it, but there are also nights like tonight where it would have saved you an hour or so
[06:13] <Iceheart> Question, just updated to ubunto 11.10
[06:13] <Iceheart> now my battery is refusing to charge
[06:13] <Iceheart> but at the same time it does not appear to be discharging
[06:13] <Iceheart> Anybody have any ideas?
[06:14] <Iceheart> anyone?
[06:14] <Iceheart> Really could use help here, if my laptop dies I don't have a backup computer atm...
[06:15] <Iceheart> Anyone?
[06:15] <hendaus> escott,  can i install the os from live cd but without deleting any of my important things ;ept on my hd?
[06:15] <Ben64> Iceheart: how do you know its not charging
[06:15] <blackshirt> :-)
[06:15] <Iceheart> Battery icon shows discharge
[06:15] <Iceheart> says in power management that it's discharging
[06:16] <Ben64> shutdown laptop, take out battery, turn back on
[06:16] <Ben64> :D
[06:16] <Iceheart> about an hour after I did the install, it stop charging all together and is now at 23%
[06:16] <Iceheart> ok I'll try it...
[06:16] <urgodfather> actionparsnip: is this right? www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilLIUJdP1hY
[06:17] <Ben64> urgodfather: thats a slightly strange way, but yes that should work
[06:18] <escott> hendaus, there are some ways to do that (see !clone for one part of that process) but its usually easier to rescue a working system. you are at the mercy of having a working livecd at the moment as your bootloader is not fully functional
[06:18] <urgodfather> ben64: whats strange about it? b/c the guy uses auto and defaults?
[06:18] <Ben64> because he copies the uuid from nautilus
[06:19] <urgodfather> ben64: ohh i see
[06:19] <JWFoxJr> escott: Thanks for the help earlier - took your suggestions on configuring the framebuffer, but after reboot X wouldn't start - do you have that link? I forgot to bookmark it
[06:19] <Ben64> "sudo blkid" in terminal lists all the UUID's
[06:20] <Iceheart> Unplugged the laptop, removed the battery and put it back in
[06:20] <Iceheart> Still not charging
[06:20] <Ben64> i meant turn the computer on with no battery
[06:20] <urgodfather> ben64: since one of my partitions is contained in a logical.... do i need to mount the logical /dev/sda2 also?
[06:20] <Ben64> it should work without one
[06:20] <Iceheart> oh
[06:20] <Iceheart> Hasn't before but ok lol
[06:21] <lordlimecat> does anyone have experience with ecryptfs?
[06:21] <Ben64> urgodfather: no you can't mount the logical
[06:21] <urgodfather> ben64: didnt think so, just wanted to make sure before i reboot
[06:21] <nubuntu> Hello, I am having a problem with NFS on mint12/ubuntuserver11, things seems to be working based on tests online in walkthroughs but when I do a exportfs -ra I get the error: exportfs: scandir /etc/exports.d: No such file or directory
[06:22] <escott> !log | JWFoxJr it wasn't my link
[06:22] <hendaus> escott,  ok another thing, my pc is freezing too much and i have not installed the nvidia driver
[06:22] <ActionParsnip> urgodfather: looks like a good how to, use UUIDs instead of raw device names.
[06:22] <escott> JWFoxJr, quiet enough channel its up at the top of my scroll window http://askubuntu.com/questions/6033/enabling-nvidia-driver-messes-up-splash-screen
[06:23] <JWFoxJr> escott: Thanks!
[06:23] <escott> hendaus, i dont have too much experience with nvidia
[06:24] <haylo> hendaus my ATI freezes when i run it with out the driver
[06:24] <nubuntu> anyone here know basic NFS config?
[06:25] <ActionParsnip> nubuntu: for server or client?
[06:25] <puff_> nubuntu: pretty sure there is step by step howtos
[06:25] <ActionParsnip> !nfs
[06:25] <const_antine> what's the difference between task (in tasksel) and package?
[06:26] <hendaus> haylo, where u got the driver from?
[06:26] <nubuntu> Action&Puff: FOllowed the walkthroughs, and things seem to be working as stated above, but get error above and google shows people in the last feww weeks with 3 or four posts with error but no replies to be an issue with Ubuntu
[06:27] <haylo> hendaus use "additional drivers" tool if you are using ubuntu
[06:27] <haylo> it should auto detect alot of propriatary drivers
[06:28] <hendaus> haylo,  i try from there and no activated for me
