[05:06] <kk_> qin: but not for server... i just want to know the reason
[05:06] <okee> The question is how do I get it off of here and get Ubuntu reinstalled?  Ubuntu should have been installed into its own partition at bootup, and not within windows.  The install was actually an accident.
[05:06] <kk_> qin: hey dude i got gui login in server too
[05:06] <kk_> qin: thanks a lot
[05:07] <prashant_123456> anyone here to answer my question ??
[05:07] <bcbc2> okee: according to bug 864739 you need to use the nomodeset boot option: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 To get rid of it look for "Ubuntu" in add/remove programs or run C:\ubuntu\uninstall-wubi.exe
[05:07] <elz89> prashant_123456: upgrade in the wizard..?
[05:07] <bobweaver> !ask prashant_123456
[05:07] <kk_> qin: i was working on this from past 2.... thanks a lot
[05:07] <kk_> bobweaver: thanks a lot for your help bob
[05:07] <okee> Can I do the following from the command line within windows C:\ubuntu\uninstall-wubi.exe
[05:08] <K-Rich> later all
[05:08] <okee> ???
[05:08] <bobweaver> np kk_
[05:08] <prashant_123456> elz89, i mean i have ubuntu 11.04 right now and i also have ubuntu 11.10 iso image now want to convert my ubuntu 11.04 to ubuntu 11.10 so how to do it??
[05:08] <bobweaver> kk_:  if you are insto servers looked at ipcop yet >?
[05:08] <genupulas> elz89, just copying ...no commands
[05:09] <prashant_123456> elz89, i mean i have to upgrade offline
[05:09] <prashant_123456> bobweaver, i mean i have to upgrade offline
[05:10] <paulus68> prashant_123456: use the software manager/ why offline? if you need to do it offline I think the best solution is a fresh install
[05:10] <bobweaver> prashant_123456:  what ?? I have no clue about what you are talking about :>\
[05:10] <zelozelos> prashant_123456, if at all possible, i would suggest a full install of the new version because sometimes stuff dont upgrade correctly. But I think when you insert the disk it should ask something about upgrading, then try and upgrade off line..i dont think itll work though
[05:10] <kk_> bobweaver: hey bob, 1 more question , is there any mechanism i can integrate active directory users or ad with linux server?
[05:11] <evmunro> @prashant_123456 just run updates from ubuntu......no need for an iso
[05:11] <bobweaver> kk_:  firewall ?
[05:11] <prashant_123456> paulus68,  evmunro actually i dont have internet connectivity on ubuntu pc
[05:11] <evmunro> ah
[05:11] <evmunro> my bad
[05:11] <bobweaver> kk_:  I am not sure that I understand the question
[05:11] <evmunro> :D
[05:12] <prashant_123456> paulus68, evmunro so i need to do it offline
[05:12] <evmunro> well then, put in the CD, and it should ask to upgrade/update'
[05:12] <prashant_123456> evmunro, ok i will do it
[05:12] <ozzloy> is there a way to compile an iphone app to run on a jailbroken iphone using ubuntu?
[05:13] <prashant_123456> evmunro, to which homegroup do i belong to ??
[05:13] <bobweaver> !conduct | ozzloy
[05:13] <evmunro> If the update doesn't work, back up your data and do a fresh install.......it usually works better than an update as some things don't update correctly
[05:13] <evmunro> hold on
[05:13] <ozzloy> i have the source to an iphone app https://github.com/ozzloy/frc-driver-station but no way of compiling it
[05:13] <ozzloy> bobweaver, was that a mistake?
[05:13] <ozzloy> conduct?
[05:13] <prashant_123456> evmunro, ok i see
[05:13] <kk_> bobweaver:  i have created users in winows server in Active Directory  (user management service  ) , if i migrate to linux server , do i need to create all users once agin in linux too? or can integrate windows AD service with linux?
[05:14] <Thelmaria> kk_: If you want user authentication against an AD server, you can use kerberos, or winbind+samba. It's definatly possible to use AD with linux servers, but I'm not entirely sure how. Google might help :)
[05:14] <bobweaver> Iwould say that it is not a ubuntu question but more of a off topic question or a apple  question
[05:14] <bobweaver> ozzloy:  ^^^^^^^^^^^^
[05:14] <nimbiotics> Hello evry1. I would like to print and or save the contents of my panels as a tree. Is this possible? TIA!
[05:14] <evmunro> I don't know what homegroup you belong to...u should have set it up
[05:14] <evmunro> why do u need this?
[05:14] <kk_> Thelmaria: sure i will google on it..
[05:14] <ozzloy> bobweaver, yeah, you think they'd listen to the question at apple?
[05:15] <ozzloy> i figured of the two venues this one would be more open
[05:15] <ozzloy> apple's answer is "buy a mac ;)"
[05:15] <bobweaver> ozzloy: this is main channel try ubuntu-offtopic
[05:15] <prashant_123456> evmunro, can u please tell me how to do it
[05:16] <paulus68> ozzloy: did you try the apple forums?
[05:16] <ozzloy> no, i admit that i did not.  i did just join #offtopic though, i'll ask there
[05:17] <prashant_123456> evmunro, actually i have to share some files between linux and windows pc
[05:17] <ozzloy> paulus68, do you know of one in particular?  if not i'll just google for one
[05:17] <paulus68> ozzloy: I only know a dutch forum not much help to you I am afraid
[05:17] <evmunro> prashant_123456,  first run "sudo apt-cdrom add" no quotes in terminal. After that run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" no quotes. That will add the cd to your sources list, then update
[05:18] <ozzloy> yeah not so much.  thanks though.  i guess i'll give the apple forum a shot
[05:18] <evmunro> prashant_123456, make sure u put the CD into the drive first!
[05:18] <zelozelos> evmunro, that really works?
[05:18] <evmunro> zelozelos, should. Why would it not?
[05:19] <kk_> bobweaver : hey , i think i have messed up with some thing, though i got gui login screen , iam unable to login (may be wrong password) can u help me in resetting password ? is is the same way that we do in rhel? login to init 1 and changing pasword?
[05:19] <prashant_123456> evmunro, ok i will do it
[05:20] <evmunro> prashant_123456, forgot something, a much easier way! You can also just boot from the new ubuntu cd, and when it boots up, where you get the initial select to "erase" or "install", there will be an upgrade option.
[05:20] <bobweaver> kk_:  command is passwd
[05:20] <okee> Well I got Ubuntu off of here, but now need to figure out how to get the laptop to recognize the disk at bootup.  I am ok with a second partition.  I have lots of room.
[05:21] <urlin2u> okee, there is a key prompt at powering on that will get you the outside of the bios boot from menu try f12.
[05:22] <kk_> bobweaver: i got message "Authuntication token manipulation error, password unchanged"
[05:24] <bobweaver> kk_:  IDK pull the shadow or hash and crackit
[05:24] <okee> I think I am going to install in the morning.  I need some sleep.  See you all later...........
[05:24] <pratz> hey guys now i am running 10.04 from 6-7 months and did not faced any problems, but now a days system is rebooting and shuting down slowly, can you suggest me some software like 'disk cleanup' or some thing similar, though i have not used such software in past
[05:24] <kk_> bobweaver :( ok
[05:25] <nimbiotics> Is it possible to save the contents of a panel to a text file? TIA!
[05:25] <urlin2u> kk_, you trying to get back into a windows or linux setup?
[05:25] <bobweaver> kk_:  http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword
[05:26] <urlin2u> kk_, if its linux bobweaver has the link for you.
[05:26] <evmunro> pratz, u can use the autoclean terminal command to start off get :'"sudo apt-get autoclean"
[05:26] <zelozelos> evmunro, hmm if that works then would this work ?     sudo mount -o loop ~/Desktop/ubuntu-11.10-alternate-i386.iso /media/cdrom0
[05:26] <kk_> bobweaver: its linux ,ya i'm trying that one
[05:27] <vivanov> oneiric server doesnt power off after halt: it outputs "system halted" to stdout but doesnt power off
[05:27] <evmunro> zelozelos, for upgrading from an .iso, first do "sudo mount -t iso9660 ubuntu-6.10-alternative-i386.iso /cdrom -o -loop"
[05:28] <evmunro> then the same as for a cd
[05:28] <evmunro> then to unmount do "sudo umount /cdrom"
[05:28] <pratz> evmunro: what does that program exactly do ?
[05:29] <zelozelos> evmunro, i cant wait to try it out. already have the disk was just waiting till i broke it again to upgrade because i didnt want to wait soo long for it to dl
[05:29] <kk_> bobweaver : i restared the vm and i did and it worked!!!! thanks a lot for you help,
[05:29] <pratz> evmunro: but dude i have not installed many softwares by compiling them
[05:29] <share> !hello
[05:29] <bobweaver> kk_:  C()()|_
[05:29] <evmunro> pratz, it removes partial packages, and that kinda stuff. theres also a way to get rid of residual copnfig files
[05:29] <zelozelos> evmunro, ohh, so with those and the terminal command to do the upgrade i can make a script
[05:29] <ozzloy> thanks bobweaver and paulus68
[05:30] <kk_> Thanks a million to all who helped me.
[05:30] <evmunro> zelozelos, i guess you could make a script for one-click updates in the future :)
[05:31] <pratz> evmunro: will that command even clean all the .deb packages in /var/cache/apt/archives ?
[05:31] <zelozelos> evmunro, oh wait, You can only upgrade using the CD if you have the basic installation. If you happened to have some packages which are not on the CD, you may need to download the DVD version.
[05:31] <evmunro> pratz, depends. I think it just cleans old and unneeded packages
[05:31] <haylo-bot_> turn off the machine and try agian
[05:32] <zelozelos> evmunro, in this case from the net
[05:32] <evmunro> zelozelos, you are correct
[05:32] <zelozelos> dang!
[05:32] <zelozelos> forget it
[05:32] <pratz> evmunro: because i have made that location my repo and for my other computers i install the softwares from there
[05:32] <bobweaver> and clean can also :clean : packages that you have not used in a while or packages that are not in repo ny more which is .....
[05:32] <pratz> evmunro: so can i run autoclean program safely ?
[05:32] <bobweaver> any not ny
[05:33] <evmunro> pratz, You should be able to, although I would suggest doing a quick backup to a thumbdrive, just to be safe :D
[05:33] <urlin2u> pratz, autoclean just cleans the cache I believe it is safe.
[05:34] <pratz> urlin2u: this is also a part of cache i guess then /var/cache/apt/archives
[05:34] <jerknextdoor> any fix for the speaker pop that happens ever few minutes on my Acer.  There is no power save in alsa-base.conf.
[05:35] <philliph> Hi all, I'm having an issue with getting proper output from Putty on Ubuntu 11.10, I've tried every suggestion I could find specifically in relation to UTF-8 and NCURSES_NO_UTF8_ACS option but have not had any luck. Anyone else experiencing this issue ?
[05:35] <urlin2u> pratz, here is a more detailed link. http://askubuntu.com/questions/3167/what-is-difference-between-the-options-autoclean-autoremove-and-clean
[05:36] <evmunro> pratz, to remove old config files (can take up quite a bit of space), open synaptic package manager, then go to the bottom left and click status. then click the "not installed(residual config)" option above it. Tick all the packages you see on the right and press apply.
[05:37] <pratz> urlin2u: my ubuntu mahcine is gone slow these days, whats the best way to speed it up as it was earlier ?
[05:37] <urlin2u> pratz, hard to say what release, was it a upgrade and what is the cpu and ram?
[05:37] <evmunro> pratz, to remove unnecessary locale data, you could also run "sudo apt-get install localepurge" this will remove any unused language files from anything installed
[05:38] <shaiang> Hello
[05:38] <share> hi
[05:38] <pratz> urlin2u: 10.04 , 2GB RAM, Core2Duo processor , 320GB Harddisk
[05:39] <shaiang> I have problem updating ubuntu 11.10, gnome shell, can someone help me?
[05:39] <pratz> urlin2u: and no upgrade , i did a clean install from the disk a few months ago
[05:39] <urlin2u> pratz, when you say slow on which apps?
[05:39] <evmunro> pratz, your computer shouldnt be that bad then, when did u get the computer, how full is the hdd, are you running compiz effects, do u have a graphics card?
[05:40] <pratz> urlin2u: on startup and shutdown  mainly and for some other apps, like browsers, dual split window in vim etc
[05:41] <shaiang> is there a chance
[05:41] <pratz> evmunro: no i do not run compiz effects and all the other graphics stuff, i just do not like them, most of the time i spend on terminal, that is the reason why i am worried
[05:41] <osmosis> trying to do   from jsonrpc import ServiceProxy ,  ubuntu 11.10 doesnt seem to have a python-jsonrpc package...only python-jsonrpc2
[05:41] <vivanov_> oneiric server doesnt power off after halt: it outputs "system  halted" to stdout but doesnt power off
[05:41] <urlin2u> pratz, the browser I run mine saving no cookies no history and a flash block noscript, the other apps not sure, you maybe might install a conky so you can see the amount of resources being used at any time and by what. Is it a 32 bit, or 64?
[05:42] <evmunro> pratz, oh ok, then. that's quite strange....any background processes you forgot about?
[05:43] <alejandro__> Hi.

[05:43] <alejandro__> Is it posible to change order of icons in Unity launcher? How?
[05:43] <peng__> Hi
[05:43] <evmunro> pratz, although admittedly, they would have to be massive to make any big problems

[05:44] <alejandro__> NV, it is possible
[05:44] <shaiang>  I have problem updating ubuntu 11.10, gnome shell, can someone help me?
[05:44] <urlin2u> pratz, and that needs cookies kept and history, that will load when yo get there, but I'm not a developer, honestly with a title like that you should know whats up.

[05:45] <Evilkiss> I have ubuntu 10.04 and TV and monitor

[05:47] <shaiang> It's working now, but many of the updates from first mirror disapeared
[05:48] <shaiang> Where can i get a list of available mirrors?
[05:48] <susundberg> shaiang: i guess either they are not well synced. Here is some list: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors
[05:48] <susundberg> shaiang: as you can see there, there are some that are 'One week behind' for example
[05:48] <shaiang> 10x man, i managed to update throw the main server

[05:51] <rishikanta> I think ubuntu murdered my hdd.. can someone help
[05:51] <rishikanta> :(
[05:51] <atari2600a> anyone else having trouble w/ Flash in chrome?
[05:52] <LoRd_UnDeRwOrLd> hi does anyone know a software to create interactive city maps?
[05:52] <ghabit> rishikanta, what actually happened?
[05:52] <atari2600a> rishikanta, Ubuntu will never threaten to stab you, & in fact, cannot speak
[05:52] <atari2600a> LoRd_UnDeRwOrLd, google earth?
[05:53] <rishikanta> I have 3 hdds.. 80GB, 250GB and 1TB... I installed win 7 on the 80GB one... and today I installed ubuntu on 250GB hdd
[05:53] <philliph> Hi all, I'm having an issue with getting proper output from Putty on Ubuntu 11.10, I've tried every suggestion I could find specifically in relation to UTF-8 and NCURSES_NO_UTF8_ACS option but have not had any luck. Anyone else experiencing this issue ?
[05:53] <atari2600a> but yeah, I'm running x64 chrome from google's apt servers
[05:53] <atari2600a> I've tried purging but that didn't help at all
[05:53] <rishikanta> when I booted into ubuntu.. tried to mount the 1tb hdd.. and it gave an error msg "mount failed with exit code:2"
[05:53] <ghabit> rishikanta, do you remember mount options @ installing?
[05:53] <rishikanta> then I booted into win 7 and now the 1tb hdd shows blank
[05:54] <rishikanta> I disconnected the 80gb and 1tb while installing ubuntu
[05:54] <prashant_123456> evmunro, thank you so much tc
[05:54] <kelayen> hello
[05:55] <rishikanta> the 1tb hdd shows blank in both ubuntu and win 7
[05:55] <ghabit> rishikanta, explain please, how do you booting windows now?
[05:55] <evmunro> prashant_123456, no problem, glad to help
[05:56] <rishikanta> I re-connected the 80gb after installing ubuntu and set the hdd priority to 80gb
[05:56] <atari2600a> my work profile gets a little further, it tells me to upgrade to flash player 10 on youtube
[05:56] <ChymistChris> join #linux
[05:56] <rishikanta> it boots windows.. and if I set hdd prioriy to 250 one.. it boots ubuntu
[05:56] <ghabit> rishikanta, I see. So under windows 1tb hdd is blank?
[05:57] <rishikanta> yes.. and now it shows blank in ubuntu as well
[05:57] <ghabit> rishikanta, actually if that devices was disconnected while installing ubuntu, ubuntu is not the point.
[05:58] <ghabit> rishikanta, maybe you can remember other things with your hdd's?
[05:58] <shaiang> rishikanta: the 1TB is external?
[05:58] <rishikanta> all are internal
[05:58] <rishikanta> I'm not sure what happened.. but the mount failure on ubuntu looked bad
[05:58] <^g33k_> hello
[05:59] <ghabit> rishikanta, how did you tryed to mount?
[05:59] <rishikanta> just clicked on the left side where it shows all the partitions
[06:00] <shaiang> rishikanta: Try rebooting only with the 1tb connected
[06:00] <rishikanta> from nautilus, I mean
[06:00] <shaiang> and see what happens
[06:00] <rishikanta> ok
[06:00] <ghabit> rishikanta, then highlight us ^)
[06:01] <rishikanta> the 1tb doesn't contain any OS... so shud I boot from ubuntu cd or something?
[06:01] <shaiang> no, maybe you installed by mistake ubuntu on the 1tb, just check don't do anything else
[06:02] <shaiang> I had similar problem with 500gb
[06:02] <rishikanta> I'm sure I installed it on 250gb only.. I created the logical paritions from 250 only
[06:03] <ghabit> shaiang, he said he disconnected all other hd's while installing ubuntu.
[06:03] <shaiang> ok
[06:03] <ghabit> So it is not possible to have eraised hdd while installing.
[06:03] <shaiang> no
[06:03] <shaiang> no way
[06:04] <shaiang> It seems like the hdd changed his properties
[06:04] <barna>  #cention pastebin
[06:05] <shaiang> Try to reboot without the 1tb once, then with the 1tb (on ubuntu)
[06:05] <rishikanta> ok
[06:05] <silverskater> is there a bug in oneiric that stops the VPN from connecting? I just can't get it to connect
[06:06] <rishikanta> also, when I got the mount failed on ubuntu for 1tb.. the next time I booted into windows.. it ran a disk check on the 1tb hdd
[06:06] <rishikanta> nothing seemed unusual in the console... but is it possible it got corrupted there?
[06:07] <airlynx> on a scale of 1 to 10 how difficult would it be to disable Unity altogether and switch back to Gnome on a brand new installation of 11.10?
[06:07] <shaiang> Have you tried safemode?(windows||ubuntu)
[06:08] <ghabit> rishikanta, r u on ubuntu now?
[06:08] <ironhalik> and one being?
[06:08] <pr3p> http://www.ubuntupirates.com/
[06:08] <ghabit> airlynx, 2
[06:08] <airlynx> one being I open up the software center and install gnome
[06:09] <commie> Anyone have any issues with the desktop background becoming garbled?
[06:09] <commie> in 11.10
[06:09] <ghabit> airlynx, by default ubuntu 11.10 have gnome3 installed by default. Do you want gnome3 interface or 'like gnome 2'?
[06:09] <rishikanta> I haven't tried safe mode
[06:09] <ghabit> rishikanta, are you in ubuntu now?
[06:09] <rishikanta> and right now.. I am on ubuntu but on my laptop
[06:10] <rishikanta> the problem is on my desktop
[06:10] <airlynx> ghabit, I guess it would be the older gnome, I've had 10.04 on my laptop for some time and a friend wanted it on her laptop, so I downloaded and installed 11.10 and she has no idea how to use it
[06:10] <ghabit> rishikanta, can you come here with ubuntu loaded on your desktop with all the hdd's connected?
[06:10] <ghabit> airlynx, you can get gnome 3 'looking as gnome2' but gnome 3 is better i think ^)
[06:11] <aaa> hello!
[06:11] <jasef> ghabit, I agree, I like Gnome3 better, even though Mr Torvalds disagrees
[06:11] <airlynx> As long as it behaves in the same manner (i.e. a main applications list where firefox and pidgin can be launched from and a standard taskbar) we'll be okay I think
[06:11] <rishikanta> ok.. give me a few minutes and I'll log in from desktop
[06:12] <ghabit> airlynx,
[06:12] <ghabit> !nounity
[06:12] <aaa> lalala
[06:12] <aaa> la
[06:12] <sweb> i want a text editor like notepad++ in ubuntu. fully featured
[06:12] <amunds> Hi, I have a server running 9.04 and I need to upgrade to 10.04LTS. Would it even be feasible to do a upgrade versus a complete reinstall?
[06:12] <sweb> gedit is so simple
[06:12] <ghabit> sweb, try emacs or vi, vim
[06:12] <tripelb> sweb agreed
[06:12] <tripelb> sweb try pico
[06:12] <Domen> 6269
[06:13] <tripelb> (they laff at me)
[06:13] <Domen> sweet!
[06:13] <airlynx> okay, I think I got i need the gnome-shell package first
[06:13] <tripelb> sweb or joe
[06:13] <jasef> Okay, I'm getting really fed up with this O_o my touchpad sometimes randomly clicks while I'm typing. And it randomly drops other text in that's not even on my clipboard, stuff that I'd typed a bit earlier. Anyone have any ideas? Probably two different things causing the two issues.
[06:13] <ghabit> !nounity > airlynx
[06:13] <Domen><PHONE_NUMBER>2145656185655205kioloikoiliokoplkjuik,mkjhyukjhn mjhuyi
[06:13] <tripelb> but none of what they or I suggested are gui. they are terminal.
[06:13] <ActionParsnip> amunds: very. You'll need to upgrade to Karmic first (9.10)
[06:13] <sweb> is all GTK based. i need run in UI
[06:13] <ghabit> airlynx, that's all. It's easy.
[06:13] <sweb> ?
[06:13] <jasef> !spam
[06:13] <Domen> im spam bot!
[06:13] <Domen> spam
[06:13] <Domen> spam
[06:13] <Domen> spam
[06:13] <jasef> Oh, that trigger doesnt work
[06:13] <FloodBot1> Domen: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:14] <jasef> Lol, <3 floodbot
[06:14] <ghabit> sweb, what do you mean in UI?
[06:14] <amunds> ActionParsnip, ok thanks :)
[06:14] <sweb> ghabit, like gedit running in GNOME not terminal like vi
[06:14] <airlynx> okay, thank you very much, I just didn't really know where to start with that, today was the first I heard of Unity and I thought it was a whole 'nother window manager
[06:14] <yoga> When I boot Ubuntu, the entries /etc/resolv.conf is gone,
[06:14] <ghabit> sweb, emacs have front-ends.
[06:15] <ghabit> vim afaik too
[06:15] <ActionParsnip> Sweb: leafpad is small and punchy
[06:15] <yoga> I am connect using pppoe, I edit the file /etc/network/interface
[06:15] <ActionParsnip> !pppoe
[06:16] <yoga> I had to add the nameserver entries in /etc/resolv.conf to get connection.
[06:16] <ActionParsnip> Yoga: are you using a desktop OS?
[06:17] <yoga> ActionParsnip: I used to use Kbuntu, and just switch to Ubuntu desktop.
[06:17] <olzhas> When i run banshee my system get very slow, then pulseaudio starts to work incorrectly(sound disappears, then appears). When I kill banshee and pulseaudio the system gets normal, what should I do? how to make a proper bug report?
[06:17] <zosky> hi yall
[06:17] <yoga> ActionParsnip: It used to create the resov.conf for me
[06:18] <rishikanta1> hello.. i m on my desktop ubuntu now.. with all hdds connected
[06:18] <yoga> ActionParsnip: I am using ubuntu-desktop
[06:18] <olzhas> Also when I Try to watch youtube chrome starts getting slow as well, htop shows that google chrome consumes 100%
[06:18] <ActionParsnip> Yoga: then network manager will overwrite resolv.conf if you have it installed
[06:18] <olzhas> of cpu time
[06:18] <ghabit> rishikanta, sudo fdisk -l
[06:18] <ghabit> !pastebin > rishikanta1
[06:18] <olzhas> the problem also is solving by killing pulse audio
[06:18] <dnivra> Hello. Does anyone else have this issue -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/719441/?
[06:18] <ghabit> rishikanta1,  sudo fdisk -l
[06:19] <ActionParsnip> olzhas: what cpu do you have?
[06:19] <olzhas> i5 460m
[06:19] <olzhas> ActionParsnip, Inter Core i5 460
[06:19] <olzhas> ActionParsnip, Intel*, the laptop is HP 4520s btw
[06:20] <zosky> finally found a US robotics voice modem for my homeNAS. what is the best solution for a multi-user voice-mail system ?  i'm not having much luck with mgetty-voice (and hope there is something that involves less perl)
[06:20] <ActionParsnip> olzhas: does it happen as a new user?
[06:20] <Egbert9e9> A funny occurance that happened while upgrading to 11.10: I was writing something and pressed the space key while a debconf window popped up and immediately disappeared after the space pressing
[06:20] <rishikanta1> i pasted here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/719443/
[06:21] <ActionParsnip> !rootirc | Guest22368
[06:24] <ActionParsnip> Egbert9e9: i don't suggest you use your OS during changing release
[06:24] <olzhas> ActionParsnip, please wait I'll check it now
[06:24] <purpleyuan> Hey all, is it alright to ask a question regarding scripting in here?
[06:24] <ActionParsnip> purpleyuan: sure
[06:25] <Egbert9e9> ActionParsnip: a better solution would be unsetting the default button of the debconf form
[06:25] <share> Nautilus' "Reset Views to Default" does nothing
[06:25] <rishikanta1> @ghabit.. did u see the terminal output?
[06:26] <share> I am using Ubuntu 10.10
[06:26] <ActionParsnip> Egbert9e9: i guess
[06:26] <purpleyuan> Cool. So I'm getting a command not found error on an if statement. It says [08=] command not found, and the code is if ["$1"=""]; then
[06:26] <purpleyuan> where $1 is 08
[06:27] <Bear10> for a cron job that you're running daily what i'm seeing is it runs at 6 25 AM, question is if you have the linux box off at that time will it still run, will it run when you start the box again or will it just have "missed" the task?
[06:27] <purpleyuan> I've looked on the interwebz, but I can't find why it's giving me this error. The if statement works fine and the whole script executes fine, but it still gives me this error.
[06:27] <Bear10> can't find info on google
[06:27] <Egbert9e9> ActionParsnip: I do agree that it's extremely weird how when gnome changed things' look changed
[06:27] <share> nice bug
[06:28] <rsvp> Bear10, cron will skip the job
[06:28] <Bear10> rsvp, i see alright thanks :)
[06:28] <olzhas> ActionParsnip, no
[06:28] <rsvp> Bear10, if you want post-mortem execution, use acron
[06:28] <olzhas> ActionParsnip, actually it is hard to reproduce this =\
[06:29] <Bear10> thanks
[06:29] <ActionParsnip> purpleyuan: http://paste.ubuntu.com/719450
[06:29] <maestrojed> I upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10. Now I lockup on restart. I tried recovery from the grub menu. It runs for a while but stalls on "eth0: no IPv6 routers present". I tried dropping to root and running "sudo apt-get update" and "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" but they threw errors. Can anyone help me?
[06:29] <nyc2gf> Hey! I'm an Ubuntu newbie - - can I ask a question about connecting a peripheral?
[06:30] <rsvp> Bear10, s/acron/anacron/
[06:30] <ActionParsnip> purpleyuan: that's one of my scripts. It uses the same comparing you are using
[06:30] <jasef> ActionParsnip, sorry, but can I ask what apt-fast is?
[06:30] <mkquist> nyc2gf: just ask please... the question, no need to ask to ask...
[06:31] <olzhas> ActionParsnip, now htop shows that banshee eats 160% of CPU time
[06:31] <ActionParsnip> maestrojed: you can disable ipv6 with the boot option: ipv6.disable=1
[06:31] <nyc2gf> thanks!  Has anyone had success connecting a magicjack? (i'm using v10.04)
[06:32] <ActionParsnip> Jasef: its apt-get which uses axel. There is a PPA for it
[06:32] <rsvp> does Xubuntu follow the same long-term release schedule as the generic Ubuntu?
[06:32] <jasef> ActionParsnip, thanks :)
[06:32] <maestrojed> ActionParsnip I am doing all this from stuff I have researched. where would I add that command?
[06:33] <ActionParsnip> !bootoptions
[06:33] <purpleyuan> ActionParsnip: thanks, but I still get the same error. :\ I changed my script so that it uses double brackets and == instead of = but it still throws the exact same error: [[08==]]: command not found
[06:33] <purpleyuan> Does it have to do with the fact that I'm using "" for null?
[06:34] <ActionParsnip> purpleyuan: did you put the spaces between the quotes and the brackets?
[06:34] <rsvp> purpleyuan, for comparison with empty string, try double-quoting the variable
[06:34] <olzhas> ActionParsnip, under another user, banshee got stuck, and it does not respond, however it consumes 250% of CPU TIME
[06:35] <mkquist> nyc2gf: maybe... this would help, or not.. just a link http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1046819&page=3
[06:35] <rsvp> also == is a bashism and should be avoided as much as possible.
[06:35] <maestrojed> ActionParsnip so I would have to boot from a liveCD? Right nowI have been using the grub menu.
[06:35] <ActionParsnip> purpleyuan: there is actually a test for null values but I can't remember it. The guys in #bash got mad skills
[06:36] <ActionParsnip> maestrojed: its the same bootloader. Hold shift and you'll see the grub menu
[06:36] <rsvp> [ -z string ] will test whether it is zero length
[06:36] <purpleyuan> ActionParsnip: no, I didn't put a space between the quotes and the brackets. Should I?
[06:37] <purpleyuan> rsvp: all variables are double-quoted :)
[06:37] <ActionParsnip> Rsvp: boom! Cheers man
[06:37] <ghabit> rishikanta1, ok. Both of them cannot be mounted?
[06:37] <ghabit> rishikanta1, or only 1tb?
[06:37] <ActionParsnip> purpleyuan: sounds like rsvp knows
[06:38] <rsvp> ok, so avoid bashism and try the zero string length test I mentioned
[06:38] <rishikanta1> now.. all the hdds are mounted
[06:38] <maestrojed> ActionParsnip Thx!
[06:38] <rishikanta1> but earlier only the 1tb failed to mount
[06:38] <yoga> ActionParsnip: I have Network Manager install, how do I not overwrite the resolv.conf file?
[06:39] <ghabit> rishikanta1, so everything is ok now?
[06:39] <lyris> how we liking 11.10?
[06:39] <ghabit> we liking a lot!
[06:40] <rsvp> kill banshee by finding its process number, you are using htop -- right?
[06:40] <lyris> awesome ghabit, i am back on 11.04
[06:40] <batrick> I apparently broke Unity in less than 5 hours of using, unintentionally.
[06:40] <ghabit> lyris, why?
[06:40] <lyris> i broke unity num erous times
[06:40] <rsvp> lyris, did you try xfce desktop by any chance?
[06:40] <TexasRussian> Why not use Gnome 3.2?
[06:40] <batrick> Now I login into a black screen with a mouse cursor
[06:40] <lyris> yes and that stuffed it
[06:41] <ghabit> lyris, I am using gnome3, not unity, don't like unity...
[06:41] <lyris> i don't like gnome 3 hah
[06:41] <TexasRussian> it's smooooth ^_^
[06:41] <rishikanta1> now.. all the hdds are mounted.. just the 1tb hdd is blank
[06:41] <ghabit> lyris, so kde?
[06:41] <lyris> tried that too and it broke unity
[06:41] <batrick> lolol
[06:41] <lane_> can anyone tell me why my terminal only autocompletes for certain file types?  for example, if i hit tab to autocomplete the name and the program is mplayer, it won't autocomplete unless it's a known media extension on the file.
[06:41] <maestrojed> batrick you didn't just upgrade to 11.10 did you?
[06:41] <batrick> seems it's time to abandon ship
[06:42] <batrick> I did a clean 11.10 install
[06:42] <lyris> programs didn't work properly
[06:42] <TexasRussian> Unity is such a process hog..
[06:42] <rsvp> heard Torvalds upgraded to xfce from Gnome!
[06:42] <TexasRussian> wow really?
[06:42] <ghabit> rishikanta1, maybe you using dinamic win partitions on it?
[06:42] <Jordan_U> lane_: bash_completion for specific commands.
[06:42] <lyris> i just had big issues with flash freezing up ubuntu
[06:42] <lyris> flash 11 64 bit must have a bug in it
[06:42] <purpleyuan> ActionParsnip, rsvp: Okay, I got it! Turns out that I had to put spaces before and after the brackets AND the equal signs. I didn't realize that this was so picky... but thanks for all your helps!
[06:42] <ktwo> hi im getting disconnected from wifi very often i noticed  that a diffrent firmware is loaded rtlwifi/rtl8192cufw.bin than my adapter : Realtek RTL8188CUS   - can this be the reason?
[06:43] <rishikanta1> ghabit, how do i change or get back my files? is there a chance to recover to what it was
[06:43] <ktwo> im using the default 3.0 kernel driver
[06:43] <lane_> thanks Jordan_U, I'll look into that
[06:43] <ghabit> rishikanta1, you cannot see them under windows too, yes?
[06:43] <rishikanta1> ghabit, yes it is blank under windows too
[06:43] <rsvp> purpleyuan, did you try the zero length test -- it's easier to type :-)
[06:44] <purpleyuan> ls
[06:44] <FreeWilly> hi all
[06:44] <FreeWilly> i have an issue when booting up my linux box after power was off for very long
[06:44] <ghabit> rishikanta1, what happens, if you just try chfsk under win?
[06:44] <purpleyuan> rsvp: haha no I'm just starting to learn to write scripts from linuxcommands.org, so I suppose I'll get there sooner or later? :P
[06:44] <FreeWilly> i have a ups connected and installed service/program called winpower which communicates with it
[06:45] <batrick> so which directories do i nuke in $HOME to reset everything so Unity can start over?
[06:45] <FreeWilly> however when the system boots up i get this error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/719454/
[06:45] <sweb> i type vi but opem vim it's different ?
[06:45] <sweb> open*
[06:45] <FreeWilly> which is eventually followed by the "init ureadahead-other main process terminated with status 4"
[06:45] <btavakkoli> Hi, I use ubuntu 11.10 64bit edition and use offline repositories of this version (get with debmirror). When i do apt-get update this want also to scan i386 packages. How i can force to do scan packages only for amd64 packages?
[06:45] <FreeWilly> i wana remove the usb entry from fstab
[06:45] <rsvp> you will learn only by usage
[06:45] <FreeWilly> but how do i do that if the box doesnt boot up?
[06:46] <rishikanta1> ghabit... windows check disk restarts my pc.. but i havent finished the check on restart
[06:46] <rsvp> FreeWilly, is the drive spinning or dead?
[06:46] <dc5ala> batrick, tried selecting other sessions at the login?
[06:46] <FreeWilly> none of the drives are faulty
[06:47] <FreeWilly> fsck completes
[06:47] <FreeWilly> just doesnt end up in the console/terminal
[06:47] <rsvp> FreeWilly, use the live CD and do a diagnosis
[06:47] <FreeWilly> like the desktop live?
[06:47] <rsvp> yeah
[06:48] <FreeWilly> but my installation is ubuntu server...can the live cd still help?
[06:48] <rsvp> sure
[06:48] <rsvp> just to look at the system
[06:48] <Math^> hey guys, for some reason my display changed in something like 640x480 in the upper left corner, the rest of the screen is black
[06:49] <rsvp> messages
[06:49] <Egbert9e9> Why would someone's LAN connected computer be unavailable to someone else's computer that is connected as well to the same LAN?
[06:49] <ghabit> rishikanta1, well, i will try to google that problem. Try to check your disk under win, then comeback with your question.
[06:49] <Egbert9e9> Unavailable in an unpredictable way, because sometimes it IS available
[06:49] <btavakkoli> Hi, I use ubuntu 11.10 64bit edition and use offline repositories of this version (get with debmirror). When i do apt-get update this want also to scan i386 packages. How i can force to do scan packages only for amd64 packages?
[06:49] <Math^> so I can only access like 640x480 of my desktop, how do I fix this?
[06:50] <dc5ala> Math^, that sounds like rescue console?
[06:50] <rsvp> important for diagnosis: "less +G /var/log/messages"
[06:50] <jasef> Uhm... that's weird lol.
[06:50] <Math^> dc5ala: it's in full resolution 1920x something, but only 640x480 I think displays, rest of it is black
[06:50] <Aztec> hi, i have a question. i would like to build some apps from source, but the configure didn't find the build environmment. even after i have reinstalled gcc, g++, build-essential etc. it didn't work. and i CAN build simple apps by hand with cc and g++ . even my test system in virtualbox works fine with the same apps installed as the produstion server.
[06:50] <jasef> My ubuntu server isn't shutting down with sudo shutdown -k now
[06:50] <rishikanta1> ghabit, thanks.. i am also trying partition check on ubuntu with GNU parted.. keeping my fingers crossed
[06:50] <dc5ala> Math^, and you only see a small terminal?
[06:50] <Math^> dc5ala: no
[06:51] <Math^> dc5ala: I've installed ccsm, maybe that caused it
[06:51] <dc5ala> Math^, so it looks normal just using a small part of your resolution?
[06:51] <Math^> dc5ala: yes
[06:52] <Math^> it happend after I logged out, and in again
[06:53] <Aztec> http://paste.ubuntu.com/719455/ http://paste.ubuntu.com/719457/
[06:53] <rsvp> if you stay in this room, you end up trying to solve problems all day and into the night.
[06:53] <ldz420> ok I just upgraded to ubuntu 11.10 and it appears that my touchpad is not as useful as it was before.  The area where is less useful is when trying to use the touchpad for mouse clicks any suggestion?
[06:53] <Egbert9e9> I could never figure that one up
[06:53] <Math^> dc5ala: only thing I did was installing ccsm + fusion-icon, and I unmarked "detect refresh rate" in ccsm
[06:53] <Peddy> my GRUB menu has a purple background, how can I change this to black?
[06:53] <jndlsnl> hi anyone can helpme about ssh in ubuntu 11.04
[06:53] <rsvp> is hardware Ubuntu-certified???
[06:54] <dc5ala> Math^, found some display settings in ccsm
[06:54] <rsvp> what about ssh?
[06:54] <jndlsnl> yes
[06:54] <jndlsnl> when i am issue the command
[06:54] <TexasRussian> Is there any way to get compiz in gnome 3?
[06:54] <jndlsnl> ssh <IP_ADDRESS>
[06:54] <jndlsnl> ssh: connect to host <IP_ADDRESS> port 22: Connection refused
[06:54] <jndlsnl> then i got this msg
[06:55] <dc5ala> Math^, there's a checkbox for automatically detecting output and a textbox with 640x480+0+0 in it, that checkbox is checked here
[06:55] <jndlsnl> can you tell me whats the probelm is?
[06:55] <Math^> dc5ala: ah...
[06:55] <dc5ala> Math^, when it's not checked it's probably using what's in that textfield
[06:55] <Math^> I saw that below there yes
[06:55] <ubidoobi3> hi all .. i've been trying to install ubuntu for some time now (a week or so) and i keep coming to the screen "allocate drive space" .. there are no partitions listed in the window pane .. device for boot loader installation is /dev/sda  .. when i click install the mouse pointer spins .. it's been spinning 5 minutes now - am trying to install mint .. but having exact same problem as ubuntu ...
[06:55] <ubidoobi3> black box below says ... reverting to lockdown the desktop environment / switched to page partman / last message repeated 2 times
[06:55] <Math^> dc5ala: ok, I'll look there
[06:55] <Jordan_U> TexasRussian: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME3 with Unity and compiz by default. Compiz cannot be used with GNOME Shell as GNOME Shell has a hard dependency on Mutter.
[06:55] <rsvp> <IP_ADDRESS>
[06:55] <rsvp> curl: (28) connect() timed out!
[06:55] <TexasRussian> ooh, damn
[06:56] <mrdoctorwho_> Hello. My Ubuntu can't start. I think my FS contains errors - write 0 bytes free
[06:56] <jndlsnl> its an ip adress of another system
[06:56] <rsvp> in other words, the server is not serving :-) jndlsnl
[06:56] <mrdoctorwho_> What i should to do?
[06:57] <jndlsnl> then how should i solve the problem?
[06:57] <Math^> dc5ala: stupid me... thought I unmarked "detect refresh rate", but I did "detect outputs" instead
[06:57] <Math^> dc5ala: thnx, it's fixed now :)\
[06:57] <rsvp> take an asprin , and try to connect tomorrow
[06:57] <dc5ala> Math^, no problem :)
[06:57] <ubidoobi3> grr .. got disconn.
[06:58] <rsvp> or loop ping, then let it ring an alarm to wake you up
[06:59] <dc5ala> mrdoctorwho_, probably boot from a live-cd and check your fs, when it's full mount it and make some room
[07:01] <btavakkoli> Hi, I use ubuntu 11.10 64bit edition and use offline repositories of this version (get with debmirror). When i do apt-get update this want also to scan i386 packages. How i can force to do scan packages only for amd64 packages?
[07:01] <mrdoctorwho_> dc5ala: can i check it from other system (Ubuntu from external HDD)
[07:01] <jakes> anyone see me?
[07:01] <TexasRussian> yes
[07:02] <jasef> jakes, no. Your webcam isn't on.
[07:02] <rsvp> jakes, you are invisible
[07:02] <Math^> dc5ala: seems like fusion-icon isn't working well with unity
[07:02] <c0nv1ct> any idea what causes http://i.imgur.com/1YbXp.jpg ? showed up after upgrade
[07:02] <jakes> i want install backtrack menu in ubuntu
[07:03] <jakes> i want install backtrack menu in ubuntu
[07:03] <lyris> btavakkoli have you tried ubuntu tweak?
[07:03] <jakes> plz tell me some hint
[07:03] <lyris> while I don't know an answer to your question it is a handy utility to help add PPAs
[07:04] <mrdoctorwho_> Check by "fsck /dev/sda1" Do nothing.
[07:04] <jakes> hey anyone see me
[07:04] <jakes> ??
[07:04] <jakes> i want install backtrack menu in ubuntu
[07:04] <jakes> hey anyone see me
[07:04] <pbt> i see u
[07:05] <jakes> i want install backtrack menu in ubuntu
[07:05] <jakes> plz tell me some hint
[07:05] <Calinou> uh
[07:05] <ghabit> jakes, what is backtrack?
[07:05] <jasef> BackTrack is an Ubuntu based distro for network penetration testing
[07:05] <linxeh> jakes: I googled; I came up with this - http://www.ubuntubuzz.com/2011/09/install-backtrack-5-application-in.html. I've never done it though
[07:05] <jakes> backtrack penetration tools
[07:05] <Calinou> > no illegal stuff, kthxbai
[07:05] <jasef> Or, mostly, for script kiddies to try to hack into people's networks.
[07:05] <jasef> It's made for a legal reason though.

[07:06] <ubidoobi3> if i am not seeing the "install alongside other operating system" screen ... what could be the issue ... anyone?
[07:06] <linxeh> jakes: I work at a security company - it's how it is normally used where I am, although we use the proper backtrack distro rather than adding to an existing one
[07:07] <linxeh> I appreciate the script kiddie issue though
[07:07] <pipalo> Good time everyone!
[07:07] <dc5ala> Math^, you probably mean the bar on top?
[07:07] <jasef> I have BackTrack installed on an SD card, I hardly get a chance to use it though.
[07:08] <jasef> It's tempting to use it on the neighbor's wifi at my Grandma's but I'm trying to be good :P
 its not work tell me another hint
[07:08] <pipalo> I have not quite ubuntu question, but what do you call for the terminal part thar t includes the username and the machine name with current direcotry ?
[07:08] <FreeWilly> the logged in users home directory?
[07:08] <Math^> dc5ala: the icon on top in the bar yes, so I can reload window managers
[07:09] <dc5ala> pipalo, the prompt?
 its not work tell me another hint

[07:10] <pipalo> dc5ala, Hi5 !
[07:10] <btavakkoli> lyris, no, i don't try ubuntu tweak, my /etc/apt/sources.list is correct and it's only related to my amd64 offline repositories. but apt-get update wants to scan i386 packages list at dists/oneiric/main/ and then want to use this packages
[07:10] <dc5ala> Math^, sorry, no idea about that icon problem
[07:10] <pipalo> dc5ala: been thinking of it for like 20 mins, my mind was going to blow ! cheers mate!

[07:10] <btavakkoli> lyris, my amd64 packages are more than 40GB and if i want to use i386 packages inside this, my local repositories will be more than 80GB and it's not good
[07:11] <Math^> dc5ala: hmm, do you know how I can reload window decorations from out my terminal instead? then I don't really need the fusion-icon
[07:11] <linxeh> lol turboc

[07:12] <starn> i need help with games that nativaly run on linux such as openarena. they always display in super high res stretching across both monitors while in full screen and open arena does so even in window mode and it won't let me change the res.. is there away to force the games to display full screen or even window mode onto one monitor and not stretch across both screens??
[07:12] <dc5ala> Math^, you probably mean restarting compiz? compiz --replace
[07:13] <Math^> dc5ala: ah ye, could try that :)
[07:14] <Math^> dc5ala: ye, it's just that, thnx :)
[07:15]  * Math^ wonders what part of Gnome Ubuntu still uses, or just GTK now.

[07:17] <Flynsarmy> i bought a 'usb2 to 5.1 channel speaker system' and when I plug it in, audio automatically switches to the 5.1, however i can't control the volume (or even mute) from ubuntu. if I go into system settings - sound - output I notice it's still set to 'internal audio analogue sstereo'. If i set it to the new 'CM106 like sound device analogue stereo' it properly switches over to teh 5.1 (i can control volume and mute etc) but the
[07:18] <starn> so.. no one knows how to force a game to display on just on monitor? or force the game to allow you to set another res other than 2000 something by 1000 something...
[07:18] <s0nee> guys how do i kill gnome shell window manager?
[07:18] <Math^> s0nee: try sudo pkill X
[07:19] <NetRunnerBlack> I need some help!!!! GARHHH
[07:19] <Flynsarmy> I'm on 11.10 gnome classic and I used to be able to alt+right click to customise panels but can no longer do that. any ideas why?
[07:20] <dc5ala> s0nee, you can restart it with ALT+F2, then type in r + return
[07:20] <ktwo> is there a command for a quick print out of the hdd smart status (console based?)
[07:20] <dc5ala> Flynsarmy, hold ALT then click
[07:20] <s0nee> dc5ala, im trying to kill gnome shell window manager so i can run awesome instead.
[07:21] <Flynsarmy> dc5ala: that's what i'm doing. I can still alt + drag (left click) fine but no right click context menu options...
[07:21] <pnorman> ktwo: smartctl, but I wouldn't call it quick
[07:21] <s0nee> dc5ala, i tried export DISPLAY from tty1, then metacity --replace and terminate it
[07:21] <the-m0bster> can anybody tell me which wine to install from the software center?? when i search wine, there is wine 1.2,1.3 and wine. i was wondering which one should i install for 11.10.
[07:22] <chalcedony> how can i list what i have running so i can kill a specific instance and not the rest?
[07:22] <ktwo> why not quick pnorman?  can it cause damage?
[07:22] <chalcedony> (ubuntu 11.04)
[07:22] <pnorman> because it has a really long man page
[07:22] <s0nee> Math^: it logs me out instead of just killing the window manager
[07:22] <dc5ala> Flynsarmy, that's odd, used to work here, though i haven't used it for a while, sorry
[07:23] <pnorman> It does what you want, but I have to look up the exact sommands anytime I want to do anything with it
[07:23] <Flynsarmy> dc5ala: ok, the solution is metacity --replace, customize my menus then back to compiz --replace
[07:23] <Math^> s0nee: what you mean by "killing" then
[07:23] <NetRunnerBlack> I need someone to help me in PMs, who isn't afraid of the more risque side of using software, plz. This is a problem I've been working on since, oh, forever now
[07:24] <s0nee> Math^: im trying to stop or kill the default window manager so i can run awesome instead
[07:24] <jasef> NetRunnerBlack, how can people know if they can help if you wont say the question :(
[07:24] <dc5ala> Flynsarmy, oh, maybe have a look in ccsm if that is a hotkey for something
[07:24] <Math^> s0nee: when you login, you can change session?
[07:25] <pnorman> anyways, the three commands I was running with smartctl today were smartctl -t short /dev/sda, smartctl --log=selftest /dev/sda and smartctl -a /dev/sda
[07:25] <ktwo> okay thanks
[07:25] <NetRunnerBlack> jasef: I need help getting LOIC to run, which is why I asked for help in PMs ^^
[07:25] <s0nee> Math^: yeah. maybe i can run from there instead
[07:26] <chalcedony> i need a command line command to list specific instances of whatever i have running, so i can kill one and not another, please?
[07:26] <NetRunnerBlack> I can't seem to get it working in Ubuntu
[07:26] <chalcedony> top is too general
[07:26] <s0nee> Math^: thanks!
[07:26] <libryder> sup b?
[07:26] <Math^> s0nee: hehe, that's what you where looking for? ;)
[07:26] <jasef> NetRunnerBlack, never used LOIC, but I might be able to see if I can get it working O-o
[07:27] <s0nee> Math^: not really :)
[07:27] <NetRunnerBlack> jasef I'm on Ubuntu 11.10, and I can't pull up the startup screen or get it to run at all.
[07:27] <chebureque> Hi there! could anybody tell how to change combination of keys for switching between desktops?
[07:28] <NetRunnerBlack> jasef: link incomign
[07:28] <s0nee> Math^: is it possible to "kill" the default window manager of gnome shell (clutter or mutter, idk) like "kill" metacity or compiz ?
[07:29] <pnorman> but read the manpages on the smart stuff. they also help explain the results you get, which can be... complicated
[07:30] <Nightwelf> s0nee, if you use gnome-shell you cant use compiz
[07:30] <Flynsarmy> how do I get compiz to be the default window manager? I believe it's currently metacity which doesn't have any 3d effects
[07:30] <ubidoobi2> this is a silly question i know . but i have been trying to install ubuntu alongside windows 7 ultimate for a dual boot for a week now .. always get to the screen where is says "allocate drive space" and there is nothing in the window pane .. nor are the buttons highlighted ie new partition table ... etc.. i just deleted my win7 partition to install ubuntu by itself .. however i'm back at the
[07:30] <ubidoobi2> same window and still the same issue even with win7 deleted ... do i have to format the drive before installing ?
[07:30] <the-m0bster> can anybody tell me which wine to install from the software center?? when i search wine, there is wine 1.2,1.3 and wine compatibility layer. i was wondering which one should i install for 11.10.
[07:30] <dc5ala> chebureque, tried system settings -> keyboard -> "shortcuts" -> navigation?
[07:30] <s0nee> Nightwelf: im not using compiz. Im trying to replace the default running window manager with awesome
[07:30] <Nightwelf> s0nee, i tell about 3D
[07:31] <pnorman> ktwo: You might also want to look at a monitoring and logging tool like munin that can track some smart values which can reveal other problems
[07:31] <Flynsarmy> s0nee: i'm trying to replace the default window manager to compiz :)
[07:31] <s0nee> -_-
[07:31] <pnorman> ktwo: for example, munin has mademe no longer trust any hard drive manufacturer except samsung, which I have no experience with
[07:32] <Nightwelf> s0nee, default ubuntu WM is not bad
[07:32] <Nightwelf> s0nee, i think
[07:32] <s0nee> Nightwelf: awesome is better to me
[07:32] <chebureque> dc5ala: i'm running xubuntu 11.10 & there's no such option, i can only add hotkeys, but i don't know the right command
[07:34]  * Math^ has never heard of awesome
[07:35] <Math^> kinda hard to google it also, shows up "awesome desktops!" and stuff :p
[07:35] <s0nee> gg "awesome tiling window manager"
[07:35] <btavakkoli> Hi, i had install ubuntu 11.10 amd64 on my PC and want to use offline repositories (get with debmirror). when i want to do "apt-get update" it wants also to scan i386 packages list (in addition to amd64 packages list). how i can fix it?
[07:35] <s0nee> Math^: gg "awesome window manager"
[07:36] <wabash> eck. Just tried 11.10. Anyone here have the experieence of configuring to work like say, 10?
[07:36] <Nightwelf> s0nee, i nener use it, use only awesome without gnome-shell, awesome like xmonad?
[07:36] <s0nee> Nightwelf: it is
[07:36] <chaospsychex> i used 10.10 for about a year
[07:36] <chaospsychex> it rocked my socks off
[07:36] <chaospsychex> didn't like 11.X
[07:36] <Math^> s0nee: I see... it's tiling windows together or soemthing?
[07:37] <s0nee> Math^: it is
[07:37] <Nightwelf> s0nee, i see article about xmonad + gnome
[07:37] <libryder> i began to upgrade until it told me it would uninstall ~40 packages, upgrade ~500, download 500+mb of packages, etc
[07:37] <Math^> s0nee: that's nice
[07:37] <wabash> chaospsychex: Me too.
[07:37] <dc5ala> btavakkoli, why do you want to fix this at all? That is a fallback for packages that are not available as 64 bit
[07:38] <ubidoobi2> this is a silly question i know . but i have been trying to install ubuntu alongside windows 7 ultimate for a dual boot for a week now .. always get to the screen where is says "allocate drive space" and there is nothing in the window pane .. nor are the buttons highlighted ie new partition table ... etc.. i just deleted my win7 partition to install ubuntu by itself .. however i'm back at the
[07:38] <ubidoobi2> same window and still the same issue even with win7 deleted ... do i have to format the drive before installing ?
[07:39] <s0nee> Nightwelf: i read that xmonad uses haskell and it is configured by modifying the source code and rebulding
[07:39] <btavakkoli> dc5ala, because i get full repositories of oneiric 64bit (more than 40GB) and i want to use this. how i can do that? you say that if i want to use amd64 repositories i need to get i386 repositories? i do that in 11.04  release and there was not any problem
[07:39] <s0nee> Nightwelf: so i tried awesome instead. and its awesome
[07:41] <the-m0bster> can anybody tell me which wine to install from the software center?? when i search wine, there is wine 1.2,1.3 and wine compatibility layer. i was wondering which one should i install for 11.10.
[07:41] <mrdoctorwho_> the-m0bster: 1.3 is better
[07:42] <the-m0bster> thanks
[07:42] <s0nee> ubidoobi2: may be your disk can't be recognized. i suggested backing up everything then rebuilding a new partition table ?
[07:42] <Nightwelf> s0nee, i dont use it sorry :(
[07:45] <mrdoctorwho_> How i can check fs for errors? Which command? (fsck /dev/sda1 do nothing)
[07:45] <s0nee> Nightwelf: the big question is how do i "kill" the default running window manager of gnome shell
[07:45] <chaospsychex> is unity a variant of gnome 3?
[07:45] <ubidoobi2> s0nee - ubuntu .. and mint cannot recognize a 2 year old hdd ? .. wow .. that seems odd
[07:46] <ERES> ñ
[07:46] <ERES> kjk
[07:46] <Nightwelf> s0nee, /usr/bin/OTHER_WM --replace does not works?
[07:46] <mrdoctorwho_> chaospsychex: Unity working under gnome
[07:46] <s0nee> Nightwelf: awesome does not have a --replace option
[07:47] <mrdoctorwho_> chaospsychex: i think it is a panel only
[07:47] <chaospsychex> gnome 3?
[07:47] <s0nee> ubidoobi2 : idk. you may want to check hdd options in bios ?
[07:47] <mrdoctorwho_> chaospsychex:  gnome 2+
[07:47] <ghabit> rishikanta1, have you found something?
[07:47] <Nightwelf> s0nee, no ideas
[07:47] <ubidoobi2> s0nee .. checked in bios .. have tried many different configurations .. always same result ..
[07:48] <s0nee> Nightwelf: so i replaced with metacity then terminate it. now no window manager is running. and i run awesome :)
[07:48] <Math^> is it possible to make unity dock show on the bottom of my screen?
[07:48] <Math^> I tried reveal mode, but it didn't change
[07:49] <s0nee> ubidoobi2: borrow another hdd and try it ?
[07:49] <TexasRussian> Math^, sadly... no :(
[07:49] <ubidoobi2> s0nee ... tried another hdd .. same result :(
[07:49] <Nightwelf> s0nee, :)
[07:49] <the-m0bster> but dock on the left is not bad
[07:50] <silverskater> hi there ubuntu experts, can you help me set up a VPN ? it was working in natty, but it won't connect in oneiric
[07:50] <ERES> spanish spanish xD
[07:50] <Math^> in Xfce I got my dock on the bottom, bit used to that :)
[07:50] <s0nee> ubidoobi2: hmm... then another distribution ?
[07:50] <falstaf> The point is not good or bad ... it is a matter of control --
[07:51] <Math^> think it's just a matter of time, unity is very new still
[07:51] <ubidoobi2> s0nee tried mint and ubuntu 11.04 and 11.10
[07:51] <s0nee> Nightwelf: because that method requires me to terminate metacity manually, i can't write a script to do that. that's why i try to kill gnome shell window manager instead
[07:51] <nlkm> I run in classic mode with a panel on the bottom and a dock on the top
[07:51] <the-m0bster> how does it affect the control? it may be subjective
[07:52] <Jacek1> czesc
[07:52] <ERES> you are speak spanish?
[07:52] <Math^> nlkm: I think that's because it's not using compiz

[07:52] <mehdi_> ha?
[07:53] <Math^> lol
[07:53] <Jacek1> anyone speak polish?
[07:53] <falstaf> I want to have the control to put panels where I think they should be ... Left, right, top or Bottom ... it should be my preference.

[07:54] <ubidoobi2> s0nee .. would formatting the drive help at all ... i deleted the partitions .. will the installer format once it picks up the drive .. or should i do it beforehand
[07:55] <ERES> ieeee
[07:55] <maulana> i'am need make some BROSURE for my product on ubuntu, what application / software you recomend for i used it..!!!
[07:55] <s0nee> ubidoobi2: if the installer does not recognize the disk then you can not format it using the installer obviously
[07:55] <falstaf> maulana: Scribus is recomended for that kind of work.
[07:56] <s0nee> ubidoobi2: formatting the whole disk and make a new partition table beforehand may work, idk

[08:12] <PastulioLive> Peddy, hrm, ubuntutweak is only at alfastage for that release
[08:12] <PastulioLive> one moment
[08:13] <mithran> hi all can someone please tell me how i can see the list of channels, in specific i want to connect to a macintosh channel, my irc client does not work :(
[08:13] <falstaf> infinii;  Before you log in their is a little Gear glyph by your name ... if you click on that there are optiions for what system to use.
[08:13] <PastulioLive> Peddy, by boot menu do you mean Grub boot menu or the ubuntu splash screeN?
[08:14] <Peddy> PastulioLive, the Grub boot menu
[08:14] <infinii> mithran: /help
[08:14] <mithran> someone ^ please
[08:15] <PastulioLive> Peddy, http://ubuntuguide.net/an-easy-way-to-addchange-grub2-background-image-in-ubuntu-11-04 (this seems to work for 11.04, I think 11.10 will be no different)
[08:15] <GreekFreak> mithran: channel ##mac seems to have some movement
[08:15] <infinii> falstaf: oh so if I apt-get install xubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-desktop, etc. I'll have all of those choices when I click the Gear glyph?
[08:16] <falstaf> infate: Yes that is what I tried to do ... It sort of works that way.
[08:17] <infinii> falstaf: i'll check that out. thanks
[08:17] <Peddy> PastulioLive, thanks, I will try that! :D
[08:17] <PastulioLive> Peddy, no problem, let me know how it works out ;)
[08:18] <GreekFreak> Is it a good idea to reset unity?
[08:19] <NotLarry> not a problem with ubuntu per say, but when I try to mount an ntfs partition in my new ubuntu 11.04 desktop install I get a segfault
[08:19] <NotLarry> help
[08:21] <NotLarry> get an error 4 in libblkid.so
[08:22] <Peddy> PastulioLive, that worked perfectly, thanks!
[08:22] <btavakkoli> Hi, i had install ubuntu 11.10 amd64 on my PC and want to use offline repositories (get with debmirror). when i want to do "apt-get update" it wants also to scan i386 packages list (in addition to amd64 packages list). how i can fix it?
[08:22] <PastulioLive> ^_^
[08:23] <nardul> Does anyone know anything about how mountall works?
[08:25] <jasef> !anyone | nardul
[08:25] <infinii> btavakkoli: http://www.howtoforge.com/local_debian_ubuntu_mirror
[08:25] <Ratanparai> !help
[08:25] <NotLarry> my attempts to mount an ntfs drive with ubuntu 11.04 result in a segfault with an "error 4" in syslog
[08:25] <NotLarry> I guess that was not a question
[08:26] <prudente1> hola
[08:26] <jasef> Lol. Not really XD but it works. No idea why that would happen
[08:26] <jasef> What was the command line you used to mount it?
[08:26] <NotLarry> mount /dev/sda3 /media/win
[08:27] <prudente1> vep que aqui hay mucha jente alguna que hable español
[08:27] <NotLarry> it shows in gparted
[08:27] <osmosis_paul> Good morning
[08:27] <GreekFreak> Is it a good idea to reset Unity?
[08:27] <jasef> Lemme test if that line works for me
[08:27] <NotLarry> I am sure it is an ntfs problem, just kind of hoped someone wake had seen it.
[08:27] <NotLarry> that mounts /dev/sda1 fine (onother ntfs partition)
[08:27] <jasef> Uhm... sorry :/ it works for me
[08:28] <osmosis_paul> somebody know a good program that can install in Ubuntu 11.10 to make copies of my system every time that i touch a critical part and then can come back to previous states as in Windows with the recovery mode
[08:28] <jasef> I dont know why it doesnt on sda3
[08:28] <jasef> Are you sure sda3 is the right one?
[08:28] <NotLarry> yeah, soemthing wrong with that partition.  I'm going to end up wiping it.
[08:28] <NotLarry> by mistake:)
[08:28] <NotLarry> yeah, it's the right one, I can see it with gparted
[08:28] <NotLarry> let me dtry fdisk
[08:28] <osmosis_paul> For example if i'm touching Compiz and break the unity can come back an old state before touch all that things
[08:28] <jasef> What happenns if you click it in the sidebar in Nautilus
[08:28] <osmosis_paul> it is possible in Ubuntu? i think is pretty important
[08:29] <kilon> how can i make grep search all subfolders and hidden files ?
[08:30] <NotLarry> ok, it does not show there instead I see the entire disk (which ubuntu also resides on) as the first partition.
[08:30] <NotLarry> thanks, I'll look further at that
[08:31] <bencc> when dragging a window in 11.10 it is getting smeared
[08:31] <jasef> O.o. Wait, are you running Wubi, out of curiosity, NotLarry?
[08:31] <bencc> do I'm missing a video card driver?
[08:32] <NotLarry> natty
[08:32] <NotLarry> wait, wha
[08:32] <jasef> NotLarry, Wubi as in, the Install Ubuntu Inside Windows thing.
[08:33] <NotLarry> oh, that, no
[08:33] <sskniranjan> in my computer i nave dual boot one with windows and another is ubuntu. actually the hard disk capacity is 250 GB but in my ubuntu home directory whenever i open it it notify me about the disk only have 750 mb of memory althogh more than 120 Gb is free.
[08:33] <NotLarry> wiped my backtrack partition and installed ubuntu next to 7
[08:33] <jasef> Ah, just wondering cause mounting the drive Ubuntu is installed on doesn't work in that, because it's already in /host
[08:33] <NotLarry> right.
[08:33] <nardul> jasef: I did, Twice.  We're migrating servers from OpenVZ to KVM. When we boot ubuntu servers, we get the error that mountall has failed with the status 123. Does anyone have any idea about where to start looking for the error?
[08:34] <nardul> ^^
[08:34] <jasef> By mountall, you mean like sudo mount -a
[08:34] <jasef> ?
[08:34] <lee__> is linux an very secure os compare to mac and windows
[08:34] <nardul> eh, no.
[08:34] <nardul> jasef: The mountall program that mounts during boot
[08:34] <nardul> `man mountall`
[08:35] <jasef> Oh.
[08:35] <mithran> can someone please help me
[08:35] <mithran> ^?
[08:35] <nardul> It exits with 123, which means media not found.
[08:35] <thedoctar> hey, is there anyway to uninstall/remove ironhide?
[08:36] <jasef> mithran, lol just a little busy right now, I'll try to help as soon as I can
[08:36] <jasef> nardul, is it possible the device name changed due to a different virtualisation engine presenting the disk differently
[08:36] <jasef> Like /hda becoming /sda
[08:37] <archayl> i have ldap and unix user in duplicate. how to delete user by userid, not by name using terminal, i intend to keep the ldap user.?
[08:38] <nardul> jasef: The UUID of the partition is correctly entered into fstab. Udev starts (and should) populate(s) /dev. So i don't see why it fails :/
[08:38] <yoga> what do we call that bar at the left of the screen, when the mouse is move over it?
[08:38] <nardul> And for that matter, the disk is still called /dev/sda1
[08:38] <nlkm> a dock
[08:39] <yoga> can we move the dock to the bottom of the screen?
[08:39] <jasef> yoga, the dash. And I'm not sure
[08:39] <nlkm> maybe if your a wizard
[08:39] <jasef> nardul, what happens if you use /dev/sda1 instead of the UUID in fstab?
[08:40] <sskniranjan> in my computer i nave dual boot one with windows and another is ubuntu. actually the hard disk capacity is 250 GB but in my ubuntu home directory whenever i open it it notify me about the disk only have 750 mb of memory althogh more than 120 Gb is free.
[08:40] <diverdude> Why the f.... does ubuntu not keep focus on the images which is opened in nautilus? Instead it keepts focus on the open dir window
[08:40] <nardul> jasef: Same problem.
[08:40] <mithran> jasef: can you help now?
[08:40] <jasef> O.o can you mount by using the normal mount command?
[08:41] <thedoctar> is there anyway to remove ironhide
[08:41] <nardul> jasef: Yes, we currently have it booted/chrooted from a live cd.
[08:41] <hiall> Wondering what mgc stands for, for 11.04 ?
[08:42] <diverdude> Why the f.... does ubuntu not keep focus on the images which is opened in nautilus? Instead it keepts focus on the open dir window
[08:42] <usr13> sskniranjan: df | pastebinit #Let's have a look.
[08:42] <sweb> can i rm with delay ?
[08:42] <ActionParsnip> usr13: df -h   is easier to read ;)
[08:43] <thedoctar> is there any way to remove ironhide?
[08:43] <alecat> Hi
[08:43] <usr13> sskniranjan: df -h | pastebinit #Let's have a look.
[08:43] <alecat> I need some help for dual screen setup
[08:43] <jasef> nardul, sounds like fstab is really broken then. I don't know what to suggest now :/
[08:43] <ActionParsnip> sweb: sleep 60; rm file    will wait 60 seconds first
[08:44] <nardul> jasef: I don't think it's fstab. Since the server was running fstab some  changes must've been made to it. I just don't know enough about the ubuntu boot-process to speficy what. Thank you for trying :)
[08:44] <alecat> i'm in oneiric and i can't "unclone" my two displays to make a big virtual one :(
[08:44] <geek07> Hi.... i'm trying to get a graphic card to work in Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric....it's a Gigabyte Radeon HD4650 1GB memo AGPx8. It works perfectly in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS with compiz fusion and simple ccm, but in Oneric the screen freezes both when the fglrx with ATI Catalyst is activated and also without the driver. Anyone?
[08:45] <alecat> here is my xorg.conf http://pastebin.com/r0Yuzxh5
[08:45] <soreau> geek07: At what point does the screen freeze?
[08:45] <jasef> nardul, Sorry I couldn't help further, maybe someone with more experience with the boot process will come on after, or you could use the forums
[08:45] <Error404NotFound> If i run a script as part of preseed which installs some packages, where would these be installed? the installation media or target installation? do i need t chroot into /target/ ?
[08:45] <ActionParsnip> alecat: what GPU?
[08:46] <alecat> AMD Ati
[08:46] <geek07> it freezes when I'm  moving a window starting a program etc
[08:46] <soreau> geek07: Does it work in a live session?
[08:46] <diverdude> Why the f.... does ubuntu not keep focus on the images which is opened in nautilus? Instead it keepts focus on the open dir window
[08:46] <usr13> jasef: nardul What seems to be the problem?
[08:46] <alecat> ActionParsnip, with proprietary drivers
[08:46] <ActionParsnip> alecat: details are good :)
[08:47] <iceroot> diverdude: watch your language please
[08:47] <diverdude> iceroot, i was
[08:47] <dddbmt> Does anybody know if it's possible to get multiple Skype chats to run in the same window, with tabs? Instead of seperate windows.
[08:47] <iceroot> diverdude: no
[08:47] <diverdude> iceroot, What bad words did i say?
[08:47] <iceroot> diverdude: just stop that please
[08:48] <soreau> diverdude: If you have to censor a word, just don't use it
[08:48] <alecat> ActionParsnip, when i'm trying to dissociate screens in xrandr it tells me that the max size is 1680x1680 !?
[08:48] <geek07> no not live.....I a l w a y s use the net-install option.....but yes i have tried to boot live....same thing
[08:48] <diverdude> soreau, depends on the annoyment of the error....
[08:48] <iceroot> diverdude: no
[08:48] <soreau> diverdude: No, it depends on what channel you're in
[08:48] <iceroot> diverdude: and now stop it
[08:48] <soreau> diverdude: This is a family channel
[08:49] <Error404NotFound> Or more specifically how i can execute a script in preseed that modifies the /target such as install packages, remove packages, download specific configs
[08:49] <iodsti> hei everyone
[08:49] <scribus12> X forwarding via SSH. So - I can connect and can launch new session like xfce4-session, but me and the person on that desktop won't see the same screen - right?
[08:49] <iceroot> scribus12: correct
[08:49] <ActionParsnip> alecat: I don't have any experience of ATI. I always always buy Nvidia
[08:49] <iceroot> scribus12: but a complete session is an overkill for ssh -X
[08:50] <geek07> yes Nvidia is the best....I know
[08:50] <iceroot> scribus12: normally you are just calling a program like firefox
[08:50] <ActionParsnip> scribus12: right, its a different session. I suggest you just run the app you need rather than the full desktop
[08:50] <ActionParsnip> scribus12: also add the switch   -C  for compression
[08:50] <soreau> alecat: You probably need to set a virtual size in xorg.conf
[08:50] <iceroot> scribus12: if you want a complete session have a look at freenx
[08:50] <iodsti> I just installed python 2.7 on lucid x64. now when I run jsonrpclib/tests.py with this new python ver, it fails
[08:50] <ActionParsnip> geek07: not really best
[08:51] <scribus12> iceroot: i personally don't need X , main thing was to share the screen with someone so I can run quick howto.
[08:51] <alecat> soreau, it's done. Check out my pastebin
[08:51] <iceroot> scribus12: teamviewer
[08:51] <geek07> But I bought this card 3 months ago and was running (still do) 10.04 lts
[08:51] <soreau> alecat: Then fglrx sucks :)
[08:51] <ActionParsnip> scribus12: then VNC will be necessary
[08:51] <soreau> alecat: Try the open radeon driver
[08:51] <scribus12> iceroot: vnc would perhaps be better for remote support?
[08:51] <iceroot> scribus12: vnc or teamviewer, yes
[08:51] <iodsti> can anyone help on this
[08:51] <iceroot> scribus12: ssh -X is the badest idea for something like that
[08:51] <scribus12> iceroot: teamviewer is wine is it not?
[08:52] <iceroot> scribus12: yes
[08:52] <ActionParsnip> iceroot: could export DISPLAY as :0 ;)
[08:52] <iceroot> ActionParsnip: have fun with that :)
[08:52] <scribus12> ActionParsnip: what do u mean - how would that work?
[08:53] <iceroot> scribus12: just look for vnc or teamviewer
[08:53] <geek07> thank u all.....I have to leave now
[08:53] <iceroot> scribus12: or maybe freenx if you want a new session
[08:53] <ActionParsnip> scribus12: i'd just use VNC dude, its easy and probably the better idea as you can see what's going on and they can demonstrate the issue. It's the only real thing I personally think VNC should be used for
[08:54] <scribus12> ActionParsnip, iceroot: kewl. thanks for help guys.
[08:56] <btavakkoli> infinii, thanks, but this like was not useful, apt wants to scan and use i386 packages and my problem is this! in older version (11.04 and ...) there was not any problem
[08:56] <satonio> hi, i have two routers with internet access on the same network, i was wondering if i can make the a ubuntu pc to use one for one kind of traffic: ie to port 25 or to a specific ip and the other for the rest
[08:57] <NotLarry> jasef: I had named the drive "device formerly known as drive c:" I renamed it "c:" and it mounts in ubuntu just fine:)
[08:57] <SunTsu> satonio: You could consult lartc on this
[08:57] <SunTsu> satonio: that's not ububtu specific, though, but your problem isn't either
[08:57] <jasef> NotLarry, LOL! I guess the name was too long.
[08:58] <NotLarry> yeah, I noticed in disk manager it wasn't showing the whole name.
[08:58] <jasef> Lol, I'll remember that next time someone has that problem O-o
[08:58] <ActionParsnip> satonio: you can make a route to the host you are connecting to on port 25 be pushed through the desired router, you may be able to use the route command to shape the connection
[09:00] <satonio> hmmmmmm
[09:03] <btavakkoli> Hi, i had install ubuntu 11.10 amd64 on my PC and want to use offline repositories (get with debmirror). when i want to do "apt-get update" it wants also to scan i386 packages list (in addition to amd64 packages list). how i can fix it?
[09:07] <Math^> btavakkoli: I think you can change in software centre, then repos or something
[09:07] <Math^> or manually editing /etc/apt/sources.list by commenting i386 line
[09:08] <crizzy> !nounity
[09:09] <ActionParsnip> Math^: didn't know that was possible, nice
[09:10] <p1z0n> I just booted into 11.10 on my newly built PC with the Asus Sabertooth 990FX mo-bo and I can't seem to get the USB mouse and keyboard to work even if I plug in the PS/2 mouse, Help!
[09:10] <btavakkoli> Math^, what i must change? i edit software sources
[09:10] <ActionParsnip> p1z0n: is usb legacy enabled in BIOS?
[09:11] <p1z0n> oh, let me check
[09:12] <p1z0n> yes it's enabled
[09:12] <Math^> btavakkoli: I'm not running Ubuntu right now, but maybe you can pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list - see if I can do something for you
[09:12] <ActionParsnip> p1z0n: have you tried different USB ports too?
[09:12] <p1z0n> yes, all of them
[09:12] <nlkm> slap your dick on the keyboard p1z0n, that usually works for me
[09:13] <p1z0n> it did the same thing with Backtrack when I was trying to install it just now too
[09:13] <p1z0n> and Parted Magic
[09:13] <jasef> nlkm -.- stop being rude, please.
[09:14] <Myrtti> !language
[09:14] <btavakkoli> Math^, thanks my sources.list file : http://pastebin.com/V8ZnWQkR and my "apt-get update" run result : http://pastebin.com/279DVv2A
[09:14] <ActionParsnip> p1z0n: try with bios defaults, may help
[09:14] <p1z0n> I've Googled this and there is nothing I can find so thats why I'm here:-)
[09:14] <p1z0n> ok
[09:14] <ActionParsnip> p1z0n: also make sure the BIOS is up to date
[09:15] <p1z0n> will do
[09:17] <mithran> hi all
[09:18] <mithran> can smeone please tell me what port number the webchat client uses to connect, beacuse the webchat works but not any of the irc clients, someone please help
[09:19] <mithran> ActionParsnip: can you please help?
[09:19] <ActionParsnip> mithran: 6667 is the standard IRC port
[09:20] <mithran> ActionParsnip: but that times out....does the webchat use 6667?
[09:20] <Math^> btavakkoli: Hmm, I've never tried to install Ubuntu repos from a local drive, but you got internet on it? I would just use repos from ubuntu.com?
[09:21] <ActionParsnip> mithran: what clients have you tried?
[09:21] <btavakkoli> Math^, i get offline repositories with debmirror, because i have a slow internet connection
[09:21] <mithran> xchat, irssi, mchat
[09:21] <mithran> and colloquy
[09:21] <mithran> ActionParsnip: ^
[09:22] <Math^> btavakkoli: are you using a 64bit kernel?
[09:22] <btavakkoli> Math^, i didn't have any problem with 11.04 and my solution work fine! but 11.10 confused me!
[09:22] <btavakkoli> Math^, Linux behnam-EP43-S3L 3.0.0-12-generic #20-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 7 14:56:25 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[09:22] <ActionParsnip> mithran: and it just times out? Do you use a proxy?
[09:22] <btavakkoli> Math^, yes, of cource
[09:23] <mithran> i dont have a proxy, as in my firefox does not need one
[09:23] <p1z0n> I loaded "optimized" defaults and its fine now, Thanks! I <3 Ubuntu!
[09:23] <mithran> ActionParsnip: im pretty sure there is no proxy
[09:23] <mithran> ActionParsnip: and my firewall is off...
[09:25] <kikeG> hi¡ I have a big problem
[09:25] <kikeG>  i'm starting to think that my ubuntu is infected by a ¿virus?
[09:26] <jpds> kikeG: Yeah, right.
[09:26] <Math^> btavakkoli: I'm not sure I can help you, maybe if you remove "oneiric" from main multiverse universe restricted etc.? I'm not really sure why it's looking for i386 packages
[09:26] <jpds> !virus | kikeG
[09:27] <morfeu> Hello, anyone there can give me a hint cono install and the audio out of an encore tv card
[09:27] <kikeG> some of my files delete with no reason
[09:27] <p1z0n> Is there a limit to how many OSs you can multi-boot on a X64 system?
[09:27] <kikeG> randomly
[09:27] <jpds> kikeG: Have you done a filesystem check recentl?
[09:27] <Math^> btavakkoli: nvm, don't think that will actually help, it needs to know what version
[09:28] <Mehran> Hello
[09:28] <morfeu> Hello, anyone there can give me a hint cono install and the audio out of an encore tv card
[09:28] <Math^> btavakkoli: maybe it still needs some i386 packages
[09:28] <Mehran> Can help me how can i connect l2tp on ubuntu ?
[09:29] <Mehran> L2tp over ipsec ?
[09:29] <kikeG> i think the new ubuntu do that ocasionnally
[09:29] <morfeu> someone read me?
[09:29] <btavakkoli> Math^, in 11.04 i just had full repositories of amd64 and it works fine.
[09:29] <kikeG> when you start
[09:29] <p1z0n> does grub have a limit?
[09:30] <btavakkoli> Math^, i think "apt-get update" must no request for i386 packages and there is a problem with apt on 11.10 amd64
[09:30] <Mehran> Novody can help ?
[09:30] <morfeu> ???
[09:31] <btavakkoli> Mehran, google kardi?
[09:31] <Math^> btavakkoli: you said you installed with your cd ?
[09:31] <kikeG> jpds: i dont do any filesystem check but i think ubuntu does it ocasionally when starts
[09:32] <Math^> btavakkoli: # deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 11.10 _Oneiric Ocelot_ - Release amd64 (20111012)]/ dists/oneiric/restricted/binary-i386/ <-- says i386
[09:32] <btavakkoli> Math^, yes, i burn ubuntu-11.10-desktop-amd64.iso
[09:32] <ActionParsnip> mithran: can you telnet to the socket?
[09:32] <morfeu> desgraça
[09:32] <jasef> btavakkoli, are you trying to install an i386 package on a 64-bit system? I'm not quite sure what your problem is?
[09:32] <mithran> ActionParsnip: how can i do thata?
[09:33] <Math^> btavakkoli: not sure if you commented that line?
[09:33] <p1z0n> FFFFFFFFFFRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[09:33] <LemonAid> X chrashed, then it restarted but in a way that made only my mouse visible. I couldn`t figure out how to kill X, so i switched to a different tty and rebooted. My question is: in the event that this will happen again, how do i kill and restart X, without having to reboot ?
[09:33] <phper_> Hello there. What applications would you recommend for programmers?
[09:34] <ActionParsnip> mithran: telnet irc.freenode.net 6667
[09:34] <ActionParsnip> p1l0t: any good?
[09:34] <jasef> phper_, geany is a nice simple editor that works with multiple languages, or you can use Eclipse which is a bit more heavy, but has some nice features
[09:34] <binni> does there exist a library or program that can detect/identify the language(or just if it's English) of words? (other then google api or python: nltk, oice)
[09:35] <MasterOfDisaster> binni: ngramj for java
[09:35] <morfeu> Hello, anyone there can give me a hint cono install and the audio out of an encore tv card
[09:35] <mithran> ActionParsnip: says no route to host, i can ping irc.freenode.net though
[09:35] <Badman> phper_ I would suggest NetBeans
[09:35] <btavakkoli> Math^, i'm commented that line, and this line my Disk was 64bit : deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 11.10 _Oneiric Ocelot_ - Release amd64
[09:35] <Badman> phper_ I use notepad++ and NetBeans
[09:36] <jasef> Badman, Notepad++ doesn't have a linux version, and not sure about NetBeans
[09:36] <morfeu> mithran,  BadLarry  master_of_master  Hello, anyone there can give me a hint cono install and the audio out of an encore tv card
[09:36] <Math^> btavakkoli: after you installed it?
[09:36] <Badman> jasef , use it with wine
[09:36] <jasef> Ewwwww.
[09:36] <jasef> Also, isn't NetBeans only Java?
[09:36] <binni> MasterOfDisaster: thanks, I'll check it out.
[09:36] <scribus12> NEtbeans is Java and IMHO sucks asss so slow
[09:36] <Math^> btavakkoli: maybe it installed i386 packages, not sure
[09:37] <btavakkoli> jasef, Hi, no, i'm trying to use ubuntu 11.10 amd64 offline repositories (get with debmirror) on my ubuntu 11.10 amd64 desktop installed system, but "apt-get update" wants to scan and use i386 packages in addition to amd64
[09:37] <morfeu> btavakkoli,  scribus12  Math^   Hello, anyone there can give me a hint cono install and the audio out of an encore tv card
[09:37] <Badman> jasef, pretty convenient to use notepad++ with NetBeans, and no it has php,   the only feature i use is the auto upload feature :P
[09:38] <scribus12> Badman: notepad++ is the only program I miss from Windows.
[09:38] <phper_> Badman: thanks
[09:39] <btavakkoli> Math^, so i can try re-install system with new CD ;)
[09:39] <jasef> btavakkoli, I don't think it's possible to only do amd64, as the repositories store i386 and amd64 in the same dist folder, and they're installed by saying packagename:arch, like geany:i386 or xchat:amd64
[09:39] <Badman> scribus12: wine runs is pretty nicely (not that I like using wine, but well...)
[09:39] <Math^> btavakkoli: hmm, you could try... I never installed packages from a local drive, not sure what went wrong
[09:40] <Math^> btavakkoli: but for some reason it wants to update i386 packages
[09:40] <scribus12> Badman: i went for Komodo editor which is similar to npp. no wine needed.
[09:40] <jasef> scribus12, yeah, I missed Notepad++ too, geany is a pretty good replacement though
[09:40] <btavakkoli> jasef, but i did this in 11.04 and everything was fine
[09:40] <scribus12> Badman: Komodo IDE even has PHP debuggerlike notepd ++
[09:40] <btavakkoli> jasef, and "apt-get update" didn't wants to scan i386 packages
[09:40] <jasef> btavakkoli, Oh... guess I was wrong. Sorry, I don't know an awful lot about debmirror
[09:41] <btavakkoli> jasef, ;)
[09:41] <ChotazDroid> hey
[09:41] <Badman> scribus12: Thanks for that, will surely have a look.
[09:42] <Math^> btavakkoli: dpkg -s <package> see if it's i386
[09:42] <scribus12> Badman: IDE version is shareware though:( editor is free and op[en source.
[09:42] <Badman> scribus12: Yea, saw that :(
[09:43] <scribus12> Badman: but that's single non-java Linux IDE that has php debugger built in.
[09:44] <btavakkoli> Math^, result = amd64    -->   http://pastebin.com/FJG0PkPz
[09:47] <venomcode> hello everyone
[09:47] <LemonAid> Hello. X crashed, then it partially restarted but i could only see my mouse, and could not do anything else (no key comination of any sort worked). I couldn`t figure out how to kill it (X) so i switched to a different tty, and rebooted. If that were to happen again, how can i kill X and restart it ? If i do "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart", from the currently working X, i can stop it (allthough it hangs after the battery check - i`m on an laptop), and sta
[09:47] <LemonAid> rt it from a different tty. What i am looking for is a way to kill X from a different tty, and restart it in the one i just killed it in. :)
[09:47] <Math^> btavakkoli: dpkg-query -W -f='${Package}\t${Architecture}\n'
[09:48] <venomcode> workspaces on the right side stacked how do ou do it
[09:48] <Math^> btavakkoli: all amd64?
[09:48] <ActionParsnip> LemonAid: ALT+K+PrintScreen  or you can re-enable CTRL+ALT+BackSpace
[09:48]  * meta-coder is away: Away
[09:49] <Math^> btavakkoli: when I do this command on my computer with Ubuntu installed, it also shows me some i386 packages, so I guess that's normal... maybe you're just missing some i386 packages?
[09:49] <LemonAid> ActionParsnip: Problem is CTRL+ALT+BackSpace wasn`t working in that situation, i tried.
[09:51] <dakota> Hey. Possibly a silly question, but is there any ubuntu/linux software to connect to and manage a MS SQL Server?
[09:51] <mithran> hi all can someone please tell me how i can find the ports that are opened on my computer, with the application names that are holding them open?
[09:52] <llutz> mithran: netstat -tulpen
[09:52] <Fleck> sudo netstat -tulpen
[09:54] <mithran> llutz: im using a macintosh, can you please tell me the right channel?
[09:54] <llutz> !alis | mithran
[09:55] <scribus12> Badman: /exit
[09:56] <Badman> scribus12: ?
[09:56] <iuytfr> Hello
[09:56] <chris215> i hate ubottu
[09:57] <chris215> just kidding
[09:57] <Math^> Badman: think he just wanted to quit :P
[09:57] <dakota> nobody know of a tool to manage a sql server from ubuntu?
[09:57] <Badman> Math^: aah :p
[09:57] <Fleck> dakota phpmyadmin?
[09:57] <Badman> dakota phpmyadmin?
[09:57] <Fleck> ;)
[09:58] <iuytfr> well, i can't read in best condition using adobe reader is there any other solution to read docs in better condition ?
[09:58] <Math^> iuytfr: evince?
[09:58] <iuytfr> evince ?
[09:59] <Math^> with evince you can read pdfs
[09:59] <dakota> Fleck: can phpmyadmin connect to mssql?
[09:59] <Badman> dakota: yes
[09:59] <dakota> til
[09:59] <Fleck> ;)
[09:59] <Fleck> no clue about mssql
[09:59] <iuytfr> why evince is it better than Adobe reader ? Math^
[10:00] <Badman> iuytfr: http://projects.gnome.org/evince/?guid=on
[10:00] <Math^> iuytfr: not saying it's better, but you can't read a pdf with adobe reader?
[10:01] <iuytfr> well let me explain you in correct way
[10:01] <chris215> can someone tell me what the feature is called in ccsm and how to enable it where you can move the mouse into any edge of the screen and the windows all scale down and you can select them, like in fedora?  i used to have it but forgot how to do it now.   i am pretty sure it is under scale but i cant figure it out right now
[10:01] <iuytfr> i find there is a big difference between reading from paper
[10:01] <iuytfr> than reading from screen
[10:02] <iuytfr> but using adobe reader, foxit etc ....
[10:02] <iuytfr> i have done lots of changes contrast etc ...., change the font etc ...
[10:02] <iuytfr> i can't read in best condition
[10:03] <Math^> iuytfr: low ress preview?
[10:04] <iuytfr> what is this ?
[10:04] <dakota> Badman: anything specific I need to have for it to connect to a mssql server?
[10:04] <Math^> iuytfr: maybe it's showing a preview in low ress, so it loads in faster
[10:05] <sskniranjan>  in my computer i nave dual boot one with windows and another is ubuntu. actually the hard disk capacity is 250 GB but in my ubuntu home directory whenever i open it it notify me about the disk only have 750 mb of memory althogh more than 120 Gb is free.
[10:05] <sskniranjan> plzz helpme
[10:05] <iuytfr> using with software ?
[10:05] <Fleck> dakota use phpmsadmin :D
[10:05] <Badman> dakota: http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpmsadmin/
[10:05] <Math^> iuytfr: when you open a pdf in adobe reader, you say the quality looks poor, right?
[10:05] <Badman> dakota: It's in beta
[10:06] <iuytfr> it looks flou
[10:06] <dakota> Badman: never scared me away :) Last update was 2009, let's see how it works
[10:06] <iuytfr> bad resolution
[10:06] <dakota> just want something better than rdp for managing the stupid sql server
[10:07] <Math^> iuytfr: yes, see if there's an option in adobe reader to show in high ress
[10:07] <Math^> something like preview->high ress I think
[10:08] <Badman> dakota: Try RazorSQL
[10:10] <iuytfr> ok find it thanks Math^
[10:10] <Math^> iuytfr: cool, glad you found it :)
[10:11] <btavakkoli> Math^, the result of your query are : "amd64" & "all"
[10:11] <btavakkoli> Math^, i find something
[10:12] <btavakkoli> Math^, maybe ubuntu team make some changes at this release
[10:13] <btavakkoli> Math^, i look at to amd64 DVD of ubuntu 11.04 and there was only amd64 package list, but 11.10 amd64 DVD contains is both i386 and amd64 package list
[10:13] <Math^> btavakkoli: I think it's kinda weird too... if you did the same way with 11.04
[10:14] <meta-coder> Is there any official Ubuntu DVD install ISO with lots of packages by default?
[10:16] <btavakkoli> meta-coder,  as official your answer is : NOT , but non-official (made by other team base on ubuntu) your answer is : YES
[10:16] <meta-coder> btavakkoli, give me its link please
[10:17] <btavakkoli> meta-coder, for 11.10 or older?
[10:17] <infinii> btavakkoli: maybe burn dvd to usb, then go into usb and delete all the i386 packages manually
[10:18] <meta-coder> 11.10
[10:18] <Bear10> does it make sense that i can access data and do all sorts of things on a mounted drive but when i do fdisk -l it says doesn't contain a valid partition table
[10:18] <Bear10>  ?
[10:18] <btavakkoli> infinii, thanks, i try it
[10:19] <infinii> btavakkoli: if you are really this anal about having only amd64, maybe you should use a distribution that self compiles like gentoo
[10:19] <btavakkoli> meta-coder, your answer is again : NO - because 11.10 is a fresh release and those team are working to making distros. but there is some distros for 11.04
[10:20] <El_Saviore> Is this the wrong place to be asking general questions about 10.10 fstab issues?
[10:20] <meta-coder> ok give the 11.04 DVD link..
[10:20] <chris215> can someone help me with what is probably a stupid question?  in compiz in the scale option, i used to be able to have for the binding just moving the mouse to a specific edge, but i cant figure out how to do that again now
[10:20] <infinii> El_Saviore: it might not be 10.10 issue and just related to fstab...just ask
[10:20] <btavakkoli> meta-coder, you can find dl link at the official site of this distros : linux mint - SuperOS - AriOS
[10:21] <btavakkoli> meta-coder, http://www.distrowatch.com/mint
[10:21] <btavakkoli> meta-coder, http://www.distrowatch.com/superos
[10:21] <El_Saviore> well, i have ghost drives hanging around after doing some clean up related to PSYDM
[10:21] <btavakkoli> meta-coder, http://www.distrowatch.com/arios
[10:21] <El_Saviore> They are listed in the "places" menu, and nautilus side menu, but not in fstab.
[10:22] <El_Saviore> I would like to know how to delete them.
[10:23] <infinii> El_Saviore: dunno but as last resort you could do a recursive grep to find which file it's in
[10:23] <btavakkoli> infinii, no, i'm admin of a linux store at Iran and at this country there is not internet with more than 128 kbps for peoples and most of iranians have to use dial-up connection! so they need to offline repositories (they can't download with this shit speed!) so i want to make offline repositories for this peoples :)
[10:24] <El_Saviore> So there isn't anything I can do to "reset" the HDD list in nautilus?
[10:25] <ActionParsnip> btavakkoli: you can make a local repo and update many systems using that over LAN, Kinda like a WSUS server
[10:26] <Newbeeans> What type of files will sync save to cloud?
[10:27] <btavakkoli> ActionParsnip, i just want to make DVD's to anyone can use itself repositories :)
[10:28] <dakota> Badman: btw, RazorSQL is working perfectly. Thanks!
[10:28] <ActionParsnip> !aptoncd | btavakkoli
[10:29] <Badman> dakota: No Problem :)
[10:30] <btavakkoli> ActionParsnip, i know this program, this is only usable if you have alots of .deb files on a directory or some directory, but you can't make DVD's from a local repository!
[10:30] <iceroot> btavakkoli: sure you can
[10:31] <iceroot> btavakkoli: but you need more then just the packages
[10:31] <btavakkoli> iceroot, how?
[10:32] <sudipta> i am trying to run the "ns2" network simulator.....it gives error message that it requires tcl version 8.4.I  have tcl8.5 installed by default.So i manually installed tcl8.4 and now i dont know how to link this version of tcl with ns...any idea?
[10:32] <ActionParsnip> btavakkoli: then use the apt-get command but only tell it to download the files, you can then use these
[10:32] <ActionParsnip> btavakkoli: you could even grab the daily ISO and use that as  repo
[10:33] <ActionParsnip> sudipta: you could probably just symlink the library file
[10:33] <sudipta> ActionParsnip:how to do that? can u pls point out what should i do?
[10:33] <btavakkoli> ActionParsnip, how to apt-get -d all packages with one command?
[10:37] <sudipta> ActionParsnip:r u there?
[10:38] <kyktommy> hi all, i want to ask: why in my terminal, when i type more than one line, the second line will be overlap the first line? thanks
[10:38] <jrib> kyktommy: what terminal and shell are you using?
[10:39] <kyktommy> ubuntu 11.10 default bash shell
[10:39] <jrib> kyktommy: what terminal are you using?
[10:39] <chroot> hi, i want buy a newest computer with inter xen e3 1200 cpu, will ubuntu 10.04 suport it ?
[10:39] <kyktommy> default..
[10:39] <chroot> or 11.10 server
[10:39] <jrib> kyktommy: after you open the terminal what do you type exactly?  Do you run anything before this issue starts happening?
[10:40] <kyktommy> start
[10:40] <kyktommy> when i start terminal, it happen
[10:41] <jrib> kyktommy: after you open the terminal what do you type exactly?
[10:41] <dddbmt> I got unity with dual monitors. Is it possible to get the "top bar" on both screens? The bar that holds program bar, clock, user session etc.
[10:41] <vega-> that sometimes happen when the terminal is very wide, also had the same problem with unity (some kind of graphics corruption)
[10:42] <dddbmt> My problem is that if I maximize a window on my secondary monitor, the menu bar still is on my primary monitor.
[10:42] <meta-coder> btavakkoli, how about mirroring the entire repository using wget --mirror ?
[10:43] <kyktommy> i solved, it is because the $PS1 is wrong setting
[10:43] <jrib> kyktommy: so it's not default?
[10:44] <leo2007> Is there an article teach users to setup a Ubuntu box for software development in C/C++ etc?
[10:44] <kyktommy> default s/w ... ha, sorry for that
[10:44] <chris215> irc://irc.freenode.net:6667/compiz-web
[10:44] <Newbeeans> Should ubuntu be slow? I'm finding it dragging along to open apps and net
[10:44] <chris215> sry
[10:44] <chris215> didnt mean to type that
[10:44] <jrib> kyktommy: glad you figured it out :)
[10:49] <btavakkoli> meta-coder, i just use debmirror for mirroring
[10:49] <gonzo_> hallo
[10:50] <meta-coder> Did you try apt-mirror ?
[10:50] <kkcmpathi> hi all,I am using ubuntu 10.10,my apt-get install not successfully work,because dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of emacs: any one can help to me?

[10:55] <Badman> kkcmpathi: Sorry, no idea what the problem could be
[10:56] <ActionParsnip> Newbeeans: 1xRAM (for 2Gb or more RAM) or 2xRAM (for less than 2Gb RAM)
[10:56] <Newbeeans> ActionParsnip: is memtotal my ram?
[10:56] <ActionParsnip> Newbeeans: yes, system RAM
[10:56] <dc5ala> gonzo_, /join #ubuntu-de

[10:57] <Newbeeans> MemTotal:        1796340 kB
[10:57] <Newbeeans> I don't know exactly what that means...i think 1 gb is 1024kb or is it mb?
[10:58] <ActionParsnip> Newbeeans: rtotalram="$($_CMD free -mto | grep Mem: | awk '{ print $2 " MB" }')"; echo $rtotalram
[10:59] <ActionParsnip> Newbeeans: If you have 1Gb RAM then you want 2048Mb of swap

[11:06] <diverdude> How do i set evince to be default pdf reader instead of adobe?
[11:06] <jorge> anybody helpme?
[11:06] <BluesKaj> hi Newbeeans
[11:06] <ActionParsnip> diverdude: right click the file to open -> open with then select evince and then set the association to be remembered
[11:07] <stephni> i686 thats the output
[11:07] <Dr_Vj> india
[11:08] <MonsieurBon> I'm using 11.10 after a fresh install (kept old /home). When I select shutdown from the menu I'm only being logged off, where I can select the shutdown again. How can I make my computer shut down?
[11:08] <jorge> pls
[11:08] <ActionParsnip> stephni: cool, gimme a sec
[11:08] <diverdude> ActionParsnip, thx.adobe really sux compared to evince :)
[11:09] <ActionParsnip> diverdude: adobe reader, you mean
[11:09] <jndlsnl> hi anyone know how to install .bin files?
[11:10] <diverdude> ActionParsnip, yes, what else?
[11:10] <diverdude> ActionParsnip, adobe pdf reader to be precise actually
[11:10] <ActionParsnip> stephni: go to http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp   and download the .bin file at the link: Linux (self-extracting file)
[11:10] <dc5ala> jorge, what does audio settings -> input say? any device listed there?
[11:10] <ActionParsnip> jndlsnl: what is the file name?
[11:11] <jndlsnl> the file is wls1034_oepe111161_linux32.bin
[11:11] <ActionParsnip> stephni: then run: cd ~/Downloads; chmod +x ./jre-6u29-linux-i586.bin; sudo mv ./jre-6u29-linux-i586.bin /opt; cd /opt; sudo ./jre-6u29-linux-i586.bin; rm ./jre-6u29-linux-i586.bin
[11:11] <ActionParsnip> jndlsnl: mark it as executable and run it
[11:12] <jndlsnl> but how?
[11:12] <stephni> is it for jre and jdk
[11:12] <ActionParsnip> jndlsnl: you can do it in nautilus under the right click menu or run:  chmod +x wls1034_oepe111161_linux32.bin; ./ wls1034_oepe111161_linux32.bin
[11:13] <jndlsnl> i did the same but it gives some error
[11:14] <ActionParsnip> jndlsnl: obviously if it needs running as root use: sudo ./ wls1034_oepe111161_linux32.bin
[11:14] <vega-> jndlsnl: ah.. the famous "some error", it is solved easily with "some solution"
[11:14] <ActionParsnip> stephni: do you want the browser plugin?
[11:14] <ActionParsnip> jndlsnl: what is the error????
[11:14] <jndlsnl> ActionParsnip: thanks
[11:14] <jndlsnl> its working now
[11:15] <stephni> i want jdk and java runtime
[11:15]  * jrib is amazed that vega-'s solution worked -_-
[11:15]  * ActionParsnip is laughing hard
[11:15] <stephni> i have 4 options in Linux which should i chose
[11:16] <ActionParsnip> stephni: I told you the link...
[11:16] <shobha> Hello, my webcam was working fine wit ubuntu 10.10. It is now not working with 11.04. How to treble shoot this?
[11:17] <stephni> is it linux rpm, linux(self extracting) and 2 more ehich should i chose
[11:17] <ActionParsnip> shobha: have you tested it in cheese?
[11:18] <ActionParsnip> stephni: Linux (self-extracting file)
[11:18] <ActionParsnip> stephni: i never mentioned rpm, did I?
[11:18] <shobha> ActionParsnip: yes, in camorama also... it does not work with either one
[11:20] <stephni> no
[11:20] <stephni> how do i download jdk if jre is done
[11:20] <Rods_Tiger> is it possible to pair a Magic Trackpad and Apple Wireless Keyboard to Ubuntu on a machine that already uses those devices when in OS X?
[11:21] <shobha> ActionParsnip: I am using my phone as webcam, it is working fine on windows, but not being detected in ubuntu
[11:21] <ActionParsnip> stephni: if I didn't even mention RPM, why would it be the RPM file?
[11:21] <OerHeks> Rods_Tiger, it can, when not in use by that machine.
[11:21] <Rods_Tiger> excellent
[11:22] <shobha> how to check video for linux devices conected to ubuntu?
[11:22] <ActionParsnip> stephni: you need to do a bit more than just download the file to get JRE running
[11:22] <ActionParsnip> stephni: scroll up and you will see a big command to run
[11:23] <stephni> is it the onwe with chmod +
[11:23] <ActionParsnip> stephni: yes
[11:24] <Dice-Man> hi here
[11:24] <Dice-Man> where could i check if my external hard drive box is compatible with ubuntu ?
[11:24] <Rods_Tiger> 65064***353264052*53.
[11:25] <vega-> Dice-Man: if it's a usb device it's pretty certain it is compatible..
[11:25] <Dice-Man> yes it is
[11:26] <ActionParsnip> stephni: all you need to then do is link /opt/jdk1.6.whatever0/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so   to your browser's plugins folder
[11:26] <vega-> Dice-Man: then you can assume it will work
[11:26] <ActionParsnip> stephni: you can get the exact filename with: find /opt | grep libnpjp2.so
[11:26] <Rods_Tiger> That's interesting. I was just typing that on the Apple Wireless Keyboard. I said something like: "So far I've managed to set up the Apple Wireless Keyboard, but the Magic Trackpad keeps failing". But obviously not the keyboard either, as when I type that it comes out as numbers in Ubuntu.
[11:26] <Dice-Man> vega-: hum please stand by i'm looking for something
[11:27] <vega-> Dice-Man: can i sit?
[11:27] <stephni> ok so after all this i can now install java programs
[11:28] <newstandards> hello could someone help me with Squid?
[11:29] <Dice-Man> vega-: check out this thread http://www.groupsrv.com/linux/about163562.html
[11:29] <Dice-Man> vega-: will i have the same problem now with lucid ??
[11:30] <vega-> Dice-Man: uh so it's a bit more complicated device, no idea really.. don't have time to read through all of that
[11:30] <Dice-Man> vega-: yeah in fact i just ask before i buy
[11:31] <Error404NotFound> When issuing an apt-get [install or remove or autoremove] how can i force it to ignore any package name issues in which cases it usually ends if 'Unable to locate package: abc'
[11:31] <Sterist> should i use sudo or gksudo to edit /etc/fstab?
[11:31] <Dice-Man> vega-: the first post is quiet short
[11:31] <vega-> Dice-Man: well, grepping CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN  in /boot/config-3.0.0-12-generic tells me that setting is by default enabled in ubuntu oneiric
[11:32] <ActionParsnip> stephni: if you run: cd /usr/lib/jvm/; sudo ln -s /opt/java-whatever; sudo update-alternatives --config java    you can switch it to the sun java
[11:32] <jorge> hi?
[11:32] <OerHeks> Sterist, use gksudo gedit /etc/fstab
[11:32] <Dice-Man> vega-: haha let's see for lucid ! :)
[11:33] <vega-> Dice-Man: well you could check by downloading the lucid kernel package, extracting it and checking the corresponding config-xxx file yourself
[11:33] <ahhughez> I need an alternative to K3B? It won't detect my optical drive
[11:33] <Sterist> Oerheks are you sure thats the right one? lol
[11:33] <plotino> hello to everybody
[11:33] <vega-> Dice-Man: just download the right package manually from packages.ubuntu.com for instance
[11:34] <jorge> someone for helpme?
[11:34] <jorge> about my microphone?
[11:34] <OerHeks> Sterist, yes, gksudo for root access in an application outside terminal
[11:34] <vega-> Dice-Man: my educated guess would be it is enabled.. but never know
[11:34] <Onkeltem> Hi. How to open a file with an assiciated application from console?
[11:35] <Sterist> Oerheks so sudo would be appropriate for blkid?
[11:35] <OerHeks> Sterist, correct, as long as it is an service or the output happens inside terminal
[11:35] <asdfasd> can i ask for he,p here?
[11:35] <asdfasd> help*
[11:36] <ActionParsnip> asdfasd: sure
[11:36] <asdfasd> When I plug in a USB memory stick, VLC starts... does anyone know how to go back to the old dialogue box? people keep saying to go to remove able media settings but there is no option for USB. and the other alternative is to disable all action on media insert, which is an improvement but not what I want, and still, when i click on a memory stick in the unity bar, it opens VLF instead of nautilus. Anyone worked it out?
[11:36] <ActionParsnip> Onkeltem: i believe there is gnome-open
[11:36] <asdfasd> on 11.10 and not on 11.04
[11:36] <Sterist> OerHeks: understood :) tyvm
[11:36] <Onkeltem> ActionParsnip: thanks, works!
[11:37] <ActionParsnip> asdfasd: open nautilus, right click a folder and select open with. select nautilus as the app and remember the association. click ok  should be ok
[11:37] <ActionParsnip> Onkeltem: nice
[11:37] <Onkeltem> ActionParsnip: btw, does Ubuntu use mailcap? I mean, there probably should be some way to get this via mailcap
[11:38] <asdfasd> Great! why did it default to VLC? Also, when i plug it in now it opens nautilus, can i get it to offer other options?
[11:39] <ActionParsnip> asdfasd: if you do some silly association, it will be used. You probably plugged something in and told the OS to use vlc
[11:39] <Onkeltem> ActionParsnip:  you see gnome-open is limited to Gnome, while KDE is using soemthing else. I believe there must be something some unified way to run apps
[11:39] <asdfasd> ahh thats anoying.
[11:40] <ActionParsnip> Onkeltem: kde has it's own thing, you could write a script to abstract between the two
[11:40] <asdfasd> Thanks alot
[11:41] <Snowie> i dont know what i have done wrong. just installed ubuntu 11.10 side by side with win 7, get the grub rescue prompt. currently on the live cd. suggestions?
[11:41] <ActionParsnip> Onkeltem: could try xdg-open in both, may just be ok
[11:41] <Sterist> omg windows is trash!!! k sorry had to blow some steam..
[11:41] <Onkeltem> ActionParsnip: Ah, ok thanks
[11:42] <asdfasd> also, is the ctrl alt 9 thing a bug? or is there a setting that i have to change?
[11:42] <Onkeltem> ActionParsnip: i've just created alias 'go' = gnome-open.
[11:42] <ActionParsnip> asdfasd: Ive seen it a lot on launchpad, simple to fix
[11:42] <Onkeltem> ActionParsnip: less typing )
[11:42] <ActionParsnip> Onkeltem: nice, does xdg-open not run in both?
[11:42] <p1l0t> ActionParsnip: What's any good?
[11:43] <NetRunnerBlack> Can I set an alias that extends to my whole computer?
[11:43] <ActionParsnip> p1l0t: how do you mean?
[11:43] <ActionParsnip> NetRunnerBlack: /etc/environment  may do it
[11:43] <Onkeltem> ActionParsnip: haven't tried, using only Gnome ) I was asked about KDE in educational purposes )
[11:43] <ActionParsnip> Onkeltem: gotcha
[11:43] <Onkeltem> asking*
[11:44] <p1l0t> ActionParsnip: You sent me a message at 5:19 saying is it any good.. maybe it was a mistake I wasn't even at work yet.
[11:45] <asdfasd> one more thing, when i adjust the volume on my keyboard it makes a rediculouse "Boop boop boop" sound that wasnt there in 11.04 and i cant find where to disable it, do you know where?
[11:45] <ActionParsnip> p1l0t: ah, can't remember dude, sorry.
[11:45] <ubuntu-user> hi
[11:45] <Snowie> if i dont get booted, this is the result of df -h
[11:45] <p1l0t> ActionParsnip: I just saw the purple [Act: 2] on irssi it's cool

[11:46] <ActionParsnip> p1l0t: purple?
[11:46] <p1l0t> p1l0t: indications someone mentioned you by name
[11:46] <p1l0t> indicates*
[11:47] <asdfasd> i did lsmod| grep pcspkr and nothing shows up
[11:47] <Snowie> please help. brand new 11.10, straight to grub rescue, what have i f'd up http://paste.ubuntu.com/719605/
[11:48] <asdfasd> vega-: yeah install gparted
[11:48] <ubuntu-user> is that normal for ubuntu 11.10 to randomly freeze PS2 ports ?
[11:48] <vega-> asdfasd: yeah i know.. but not doable with oneiric default installed tools?
[11:49] <asdfasd> vega: yeah sorry disk utility
[11:50] <vega-> asdfasd: that looks promising, thanks
[11:50] <compdoc> 11.10 doesnt work at all with the PS/2 port on one motherboard I have
[11:50] <asdfasd> Np.
[11:50] <Snowie> I'll ask a different question. If i just installed 11.10, and on restart on GRUB rescue, what is the first thing you would look for???
[11:51] <Snowie> *on restart GET
[11:51] <auronandace> !grub2 | Snowie
[11:51] <ubuntu-user> I have updated mb bios, tried to change bios options, but still mouse and keyboard freeze :(
[11:52] <asdfasd> ActionParsnip: i did lsmod| grep pcspkr and nothing shows up
[11:52] <ActionParsnip> asdfasd: gotcha, maybe its in sound alerts
[11:53] <jndlsnl> hi i have some problem in ubuntu 11.04...in my system it show some type of string rather than showing the ip address in number
[11:54] <asdfasd> ActionParsnip: not that i can find.
[11:54] <kasztan85> anybody knows how i can disable shortcut ALT + LMB in XFCE ?
[11:54] <asdfasd> kasztan85: whats lmb?
[11:54] <kasztan85> left mouse button
[11:54] <asdfasd> kasztan85: lol, sec
[11:56] <phper_> Hello. What happens if I  input mount? I get to see the mounted devices and just that?
[11:56] <Pici> phper_: yes.  see man mount for more information
[11:56] <gentoofan> Is there a quick way to install Python 2.7 on Ubuntu 10.04?
[11:56] <asdfasd> kasztan85: windows manager -> accesability  and change alt to nothing
[11:57] <dr_willis> jndlsnl:  where  are you seeing thiss a
[11:57] <dr_willis> my keybboard is all flakeey.. wondeer why
[11:57] <dr_willis> there we go, Much better...
[11:58] <dr_willis> Oddness. my wireless keyboard just went berzerk. now its working fine..
[11:59] <ActionParsnip> gentoofan: may be in the backports repo
[12:00] <sgillet> hey guys, do you know why ubuntu 10.04 (LTS) is taking so long to include the latest version of firefox? (so far, we're stuck at v. 3.6.23)
[12:00] <dr_willis> sgillet:  theres ppa's and other ways to get it i imagine
[12:00] <dr_willis> !ff
[12:01] <gentoofan> ActionParsnip: How do I access the backports repository?
[12:01] <dr_willis> !backports
[12:01] <ofog> I've started off with a mini package, how can i get GDM and XORG to start ins tread of the console on boot ?
[12:02] <gentoofan> sgillet: It isn't taking any time at all. Canonical's policy is to not provide us with updates from upstream. -_-
[12:02] <dr_willis> ofog:  normally if you install gdm, it should setitself to auto run at boot time. Unless you are using the 'text' boot option
[12:02] <sgillet> dr_willis: yep.. ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable
[12:02] <dr_willis> sgillet:  ther ya go.. use the ppa.
[12:02] <ofog> dr_willis: I've installed GDM and it doesn't start auto
[12:02] <gentoofan> sgillet: If I can figure out how to upgrade python, it would be trivial to install the latest version of firefox using Gentoo Prefix.
[12:02] <Snowie> So i am trying boot-repair, and get the error http://paste.ubuntu.com/719600/
[12:02] <dr_willis> ofog:  does 'sudo service gdm start' work?
[12:03] <ofog> dr_willis: "job is already running"
[12:03] <dr_willis> ofog:  perhaps its on one of the alt-ctrl-F# displays.
[12:03] <sgillet> it's not an issue of installing it (already did it through ppa).. just wondering why it's taking that long for the default aptitude packages
[12:04] <dr_willis> ofog:  how about a  'sudo service gdm restart'
[12:04] <dr_willis> sgillet:  its not going to ever be released that way.
[12:04] <gentoofan> Time to wget; ./configure; make; make install -_-
[12:04] <sgillet> dr_willis: and the reason is...
[12:04] <dr_willis> see what gentoofan  said above...
[12:05] <ofog> dr_willis: i have no keyboard for the computer, I'm connected via serial, the commuter has a display though
[12:05] <dr_willis> its not how Ubuntu works with LTS/Security releases.
[12:05] <gentoofan> sgillet: That is canonical's policy. If you don't like it, use a rolling distribution.
[12:05] <dr_willis> ofog:  you could ssh in i guess.
[12:05] <gentoofan> sgillet: People in #gentoo can help you with that if you are interested in trying one.
[12:05] <ofog> dr_willis: I'm connected to it on serial, restarting does nothing
[12:05] <ActionParsnip> gentoofan: enable them in software centre...
[12:05] <dr_willis> ofog:  no idea then. No mesages at all eh?
[12:06] <dr_willis> ofog:  how about 'startx' does that work?
[12:06] <gentoofan> ActionParsnip: How? I don't even know if software center is installed.
[12:06] <ofog> dr_willis: no its not even on the system.. but i would have though it would get installed with either flux box or GDM ?!?!
[12:06] <dr_willis> ofog:  sudo apt-get install gdm, should setup gdm to start at boot..
[12:07] <dr_willis> ofog:  you could see what 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm' says.
[12:07] <gentoofan> ActionParsnip: I am doing this over SSH.
[12:07] <dr_willis> !find startx
[12:07] <dr_willis> i seem to recall startx being some part of some other package.. xinit perhaps?
[12:08] <ActionParsnip> gentoofan: you may be able to uncomment the repos in /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:09] <gentoofan> ActionParsnip: Will this provide python 2.7? I don't see it on the website: http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid-backports/python/
[12:09] <gentoofan> In fact, very little was backported at all.
[12:10] <ActionParsnip> gentoofan: it may do, not sure
[12:10] <ofog> dr_willis: ill install xinit then, but do i need to change any init scripts or anything ?
[12:10] <ActionParsnip> gentoofan: there may be a ppa for it
[12:11] <gentoofan> ActionParsnip: What is a ppa?
[12:11] <auronandace> !ppa | gentoofan
[12:11] <phper_> Pici: thanks

[12:21] <javier__> hi, i have an hp pavillion dm1 and my touchpad doesn't work properly
[12:21] <javier__> ideas?
[12:21] <javier__> i've tried synaptiks
[12:22] <javier__> but i can't configure right and left button as a mouse one
[12:23] <javier__> someone knows?
[12:24] <jasef> LOL Yay.
[12:24] <jasef> My ubuntu 10.04.3 server somehow doesn't have core-utils
[12:25] <javier__> someone is reading my question, or i'm talking to walls
[12:25] <ActionParsnip> javier__: if nobody knows, nobody will reply
[12:25] <javier__> k
[12:25] <ActionParsnip> javier__: what is a 'mouse one'?
[12:26] <javier__> i mean the mouse buttons
[12:26] <Newbeeans> javier__: I found : http://jimmyg.org/blog/2010/linux-on-hp-pavilion-dm1-1010.html
[12:26] <jasef> I'm gonna reinstall my server... dunno what else is wrong with it.
[12:26] <ActionParsnip> javier__: yes, what about them?
[12:26] <wolfmitchell> Ugh my ubuntu is taking up more ram than Winblows did...With only terminal open
[12:26] <ActionParsnip> !info core-utils lucid
[12:26] <|Slacker|> jasef, can't you just apt-get core utils
[12:27] <|Slacker|> that's the answer
[12:27] <Pici> no dash in coreutils
[12:27] <ActionParsnip> wolfmitchell: could try a lighter destop like LXDE or XFCE
[12:27] <javier__> Newbeeans, i'll take a look, thanks, btw, where did you found it? i was searching the web for weeks
[12:27] <wolfmitchell> Ok
[12:27] <wolfmitchell> How do I get rid of gnome and go to XFCE?
[12:28] <iceroot> !purexfce | wolfmitchell
[12:28] <ActionParsnip> wolfmitchell: install xfce4   then log off and log in to the xfce session
[12:28] <Newbeeans> I just typed your pc name with ubuntu
[12:28] <javier__> wolfmitchell, search synaptic
[12:28] <Newbeeans> I just started so it may not help you
[12:28] <jasef> |Slacker|, I can, but I don't know what else is wrong with it, it won't shut down or respond to acpi shutdown at all.
[12:28] <user__> Everything works fine on my HP Pavilion on Ubuntu Karmic, the only feature i can't get to work is resume from hibernate, but i guess it's common issue.
[12:28] <ActionParsnip> wolfmitchell: how much RAM does the system have?
[12:28] <javier__> there must be an essentials package right there
[12:29] <iceroot> javier__: xubuntu-desktop
[12:29] <wolfmitchell> Idk, but it has a 40 GB hard drive and froze on XP quite often
[12:29] <javier__> that's it
[12:29] <javier__> so, once you start with xfce
[12:30] <Tech-1> iceroot-  are you good w/grub ?
[12:30] <javier__> delete gnome desktop, i think it'll work
[12:30] <iceroot> !who | javier__
[12:30] <ActionParsnip> wolfmitchell: if you run: rtotalram="$($_CMD free -mto | grep Mem: | awk '{ print $2 " MB" }')"; echo $rtotalram     what is output?
[12:30] <|Slacker|> jasef, weird...and unfortunately I can't help...I'm just a user...never used ubuntu server in my life
[12:30] <gast__1> hi
