[14:34] <SpenserWilde> methylenedioxy, strange.. It turns I have already installed it but Plone doesn't seem to accept it.. :\
[14:35] <methylenedioxy> oh uh
[14:37] <methylenedioxy> Hold on, let me find the Plone package haha
[14:37] <CarlFK> can someone give me an example of what apt-get install -o is used for?
[14:37] <methylenedioxy> I have no idea what it is
[14:38] <iceroot> CarlFK: man apt-get
[14:38] <MonkeyDust> plone is some zope thing, but don't know what that is, either ;)
[14:38] <genn> hi.  how can i set mplayer as the default media player.  it's not showing up in the 'other applications'  right click menu & we don't have the option to add a command anymore
[14:38] <CarlFK> iceroot: there are no examples there
[14:39] <methylenedioxy> MonkeyDust, did you install it with apt or Software Center
[14:39] <methylenedioxy> I'm not sure which is the appropriate package to check
[14:39] <MonkeyDust> methylenedioxy  looked it up with apt-cache policy
[14:39] <methylenedioxy> You can use apt-cache show
[14:39] <methylenedioxy> It will list the depends
[14:39] <methylenedioxy> show <package>
[14:39] <methylenedioxy> Oh you got it, nvm
[14:40] <iceroot> CarlFK:      # apt-get -o Debug::pkgProblemResolver=yes dist-upgrade
[14:40] <iceroot> CarlFK: http://lists.debian.org/deity/2002/09/msg00037.html
[14:40] <methylenedioxy> -o is for that "Advanced Options" box in Synaptic that warned not to touch it, if you remember that :p
[14:40] <methylenedioxy> Those options
[14:41] <iceroot> CarlFK: also there are many examples in the debian-documentations (atm i only have the german links)
[14:42] <CarlFK> iceroot: um.. that link you gave looks like someone with the same problem as me: what the docs say don't seem to work
[14:42] <iceroot> CarlFK: i just searched for "apt-get -o" in google (important are the "")
[14:43] <CarlFK> iceroot: yeah, me too.
[14:43] <CarlFK> iceroot:  here is exactly what I am stuck on:  https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/squid-deb-proxy/+question/179075

[14:47] <zxiest> Hey everybody
[14:47] <zxiest> Does anyone know how I can prevent "mountall" from being called upon startup?
[14:47] <e01> what is name of indicator that put maximize,restore,minimize buttons in the panel
[14:47] <psychognite> i wanna log gmail account
[14:47] <psychognite> or any database related site
[14:48] <deej1976> psychognite: sudo apt-get install elinks ; elinks mail.google.com and login
[14:48] <methylenedioxy> zxiest, I don't think it is.. doesn't udisks handle that
[14:48] <KittyBunny> kkkkkkkkk
[14:48] <ThePendulum> Anyone wants to dance with me? My monitor has turned into a very decent disco strobe
[14:48] <methylenedioxy> well I'm on Xfce so IDK about that
[14:48] <psychognite> what about using mutt
[14:48] <methylenedioxy> ThePendulum, i915?
[14:48] <zxiest> methylenedioxy I see "mountall" being called and failing
[14:48] <psychognite> elink yep it is alternate option
[14:48] <methylenedioxy> zxiest, oh, nvm then
[14:48] <deej1976> psychognite: Need to enable imap access in gmail
[14:48] <CarlFK> zxiest: you can set options in fstab to not mount that line, prolly what you want.  -auto I think
[14:49] <ThePendulum> methylenedioxy: You mean the i915 motherboard?
[14:49] <psychognite> yep imap acces
[14:49] <psychognite> r8 bingo
[14:49] <methylenedioxy> A mobo with i915 graphics

[14:49] <ThePendulum> methylenedioxy: Nah, I am using the Radeon 6850
[14:49] <methylenedioxy> mmk
[14:49] <XGaryG> How do I get Thunderbird to access my Google address book?
[14:50] <methylenedioxy> you can export it from Gmail can't you
[14:50] <zxiest> CarlFK I don't want auto mount... -auto will disable it?
[14:50] <CarlFK> zxiest: also, I am not sure you will have a functioning system if you don't mount anything.  but maybe thats what rescue mode is.
[14:50] <e01> anybody?
[14:50] <elgaton> XGaryG: use the Lightning extension
[14:50] <ThePendulum> What usually causes Ubuntu to 'strobe' right after booting?
[14:50] <methylenedioxy> Would there be an init rule for calling mount?
[14:50] <elgaton> XGaryG: That may help - not tested personally
[14:50] <methylenedioxy> ThePendulum, I asked because on i915 it was lack of backlight control support
[14:50] <zxiest> CarlFK well, here's the problem. My current drive works. But when I attach another drive which also has /etc/fstab, it attempts to load the fstab of the other drive as well
[14:50] <methylenedioxy> Hardware control*
[14:50] <CarlFK> zxiest:        noauto Can only be mounted explicitly (i.e., the -a option will not cause the filesystem to be mounted).
[14:50] <ThePendulum> Or more importantly, how do I solve it
[14:50] <XGaryG> I'll check. Thanks.
[14:51] <CarlFK> zxiest: no it isn't ;/
[14:51] <methylenedioxy> It looked like the monitor was dying or the cable was loose on boot
[14:51] <methylenedioxy> Backlight*
[14:51] <genn> anyone know how i can set mplayer as the default media player?  it's not showing up in the 'other applications'  list & i no longer have the use a command option
[14:51] <CarlFK> zxiest: it may be booting your other drive.  (there is only one /etc/fstab... )
[14:51] <zxiest> CarlFK I see... Let me see what to do about this :-)
[14:51] <zxiest> THanks
[14:52] <MonkeyDust> genn  in control center, you may find 'Preferred applications'
[14:52] <Neldogz> guys, can i delete boot.log and dmseg ?
[14:52] <Neldogz> also dmseg.0 ?
[14:52] <methylenedioxy> yes
[14:53] <methylenedioxy> if you have no use for them
[14:53] <methylenedioxy> they'll just be refilled though, you can play with logrotate if you want to remove them entirely
[14:53] <Neldogz> im tryign to pinpoint an intermittant boot problem but I cant find it
[14:53] <methylenedioxy> or remove the old logs
[14:53] <methylenedioxy> what's the problem?
[14:54] <methylenedioxy> and why would you want then to delete the logs
[14:54] <genn> MonkeyDust: sorry ... control center?
[14:54] <Neldogz> sometimes when the machine boots, it goes to grub and starts to load the OS and restarts.. The machine then boots back up again and sits at grub until i press enter
[14:55] <cgtdk> Hello. I have setup ProFTPd and I want a user to have access to one other folder than their homefolder (a mounted NTFS harddrive). I have tried mounting it in (mount --bind /media/drivename /home/theuser/afolder), but when I try to access the folder I have mounted it in I get this: 550 afolder: No such file or directory error failed to retrieve directory listing. What to do?
[14:55] <Neldogz> I cant figure out whats going on.. Im sure its something that is failing and the system is then disabling whatever it is
[14:55] <methylenedioxy> reboot it into recovery mode
[14:55] <methylenedioxy> single user mode
[14:55] <methylenedioxy> you should preserve the log that way
[14:55] <methylenedioxy> er choose recovery when it comes back  up
[14:55] <methylenedioxy> the second tme
[14:55] <Neldogz> recovery mode preserves the failed boot.log?
[14:56] <methylenedioxy> ah it isn't rotated, nevermind
[14:56] <MonkeyDust> genn  it's system settings > system info
[14:57] <genn> MonkeyDust: thanks.  mplayer's not showing up as a selectable option there either
[14:57] <methylenedioxy> genn, you could also just install grun or something similar :)
[14:57] <methylenedioxy> well not grun but
[14:57] <lupuss> Hi there. I have upgraded to 11.10 and my cd-rom isn't being recognized, what can I do please?
[14:57] <methylenedioxy> another run dialog
[14:57] <_calum> hi. I wish to create a single firewall rule to drop all packets to all ports on my system. Is the best way to use iptables or an iptables graphical program?
[14:58] <Neldogz> methylenedioxy, after booting into recovery mode what should i do
[14:58] <elgaton> _calum: use ufw (the default Ubuntu firewall)
[14:58] <methylenedioxy> You can mount /var if necessary and poke around there
[14:58] <edbian> _calum: Since it's such a simple tool and you're new to this use a GUI frontend
[14:58] <genn> methylenedioxy: thanks, i'd rather not have to type a command every time.
[14:58] <methylenedioxy> genn, I just mean bind another app to a shortcut
[14:58] <_calum> edbian:WIll it block ports 0 - 65535 if I set a default deny rule?
[14:59] <methylenedioxy> If all else fails wipe your settings folders, I would wager the box to use a term will come back
[14:59] <ollii> hey ... on ubuntu server 10.04 i used aliases for my network interface...like auto eth0:foo \n iface eth0:foo inet dhcp
[14:59] <methylenedioxy> But that should be in gconf somewhere, no?
[14:59] <edbian> _calum: it should block all ports (even those greater than 65535)
[14:59] <ollii> on 11.10 these aliases are ignored
[14:59] <ollii> is that a bug or was it moved somewhere?
[14:59] <_calum> thanks edbian
[14:59] <Anubis> how can i redirect shorewall messages from /var/log/messages to /var/log/shorewall.log ?
[15:00] <dabukalam> My wifi's stopped working after compiling and unloading the compatwireless drivers from source. Is there an easy way to restore the original driver?
[15:00] <Anubis> i don't want that shorewall messages to appear in syslog, just in /var/log/shorewall.log
[15:00] <ikonia> dabukalam: why did you replace them ?
[15:00] <ollii> something like this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1870364
[15:01] <dabukalam> ikonia: patched something
[15:01] <ikonia> dabukalam: did you overwrite the existing modules or put the new one in a different place
[15:02] <dabukalam> i did sudo make unload
[15:02] <dabukalam> !wireless
[15:02] <methylenedioxy> dabukalam, should be prefixed with linux-backports-modules-wireless
[15:02] <ikonia> dabukalam: that's not what I asked
[15:02] <methylenedioxy> The compat package I mean
[15:02] <ikonia> dabukalam: did you overwrite the existing modules or put the new ones in a different location
[15:02] <dabukalam> ikonia: No idea.
[15:03] <ikonia> dabukalam: ok, then I suspect you overwrote them, in which case they are gone
[15:03] <dabukalam> ikonia: beautiful.
[15:03] <dabukalam> ikonia: what now?
[15:03] <ikonia> dabukalam: what do you mean, "now what"
[15:04] <methylenedioxy> just reinstall the package from the repos, should work no?
[15:04] <methylenedioxy> Or from your package cache
[15:04] <llutz> Anubis: doesn't use shorewall use the kernel-facility to log? you can't easily redirect that then.
[15:04] <dabukalam> ikonia: i didn't say now what, I said "what now?". And I meant how can I get the orginal drivers.
[15:05] <lupuss> Hi there. I have upgraded to 11.10 and my cd-rom isn't being recognized, what can I do please?
[15:05] <mvv_> llutz, Anubis: it's easy enough to get shorewall to log to a file
[15:05] <ikonia> dabukalam: you've overwrote them, you can try re-installing the original package, however I don't believe that will work as some of the libraries will have been changed, but you're welcome to try it
[15:05] <cgtdk> How can I see how much space is left on a mounted device in Nautilus?
[15:05] <cgtdk> Nevermind
[15:06] <dabukalam> ikonia: where can I find the original package? In the repos?
[15:06] <ikonia> yes
[15:06] <dabukalam> methylenedioxy: I can't find the driver in the repos
[15:06] <mvv_> Anubis: look around for see shorewall+ulog
[15:06] <dabukalam> ikonia: not there...
[15:06] <ikonia> dabukalam: it is
[15:06] <ppcblaster> I have  11.10 installed .then installed Hauppauge pvr 350 pci card, and can't figure out how to watch tv. NTSC US
[15:06] <dabukalam> it's called iwlagn
[15:06] <methylenedioxy> It's called linux-backports-modules-wireless-
[15:06] <Anubis> mvv: i modified rsyslog.conf to send kern.* to /var/log/shorewall.log
[15:06] <methylenedioxy> -(release)
[15:06] <mvv_> Anubis: that solution sucks.
[15:07] <dabukalam> ah ok thanks
[15:07] <Anubis> mvv: ok, i'll look to what you said
[15:07] <andrey__> hello
[15:07] <mvv_> hello
[15:08] <andrey__> how to get a list with installed packages? I mean installed by me with no auto?
[15:09] <MonkeyDust> dpkg -l|grep ii
[15:09] <mvv_> MonkeyDust: eh, now
[15:09] <mvv_> MonkeyDust: that's including automatically installed due to dependencies...
[15:09] <dabukalam> methylenedioxy: which repo is that in? backports?
[15:09] <dabukalam> ikonia: ^
[15:10] <MonkeyDust> ok
[15:10] <methylenedioxy> dabukalam, yeah I imagine
[15:10] <methylenedioxy> mvv_, do you need something parsable?
[15:10] <methylenedioxy> Synaptic can show you if you create a custom filter
[15:11] <methylenedioxy> I think it already has one actually
[15:11] <andrey__> "dpkg -l|grep ii" is good idea. but what about aptitude?
[15:11] <SpenserWilde> Where can I learn about any upcoming Ubuntu classroom sessions (if they are still organized)?
[15:11] <mvv_> andrey__: aptitude search ~i|egrep -v '^i A' # if you're an aptitude user
[15:11] <chroot> join
[15:12] <andrey__> yea, that's good. thank you
[15:13] <chroot> hi, how to join android
[15:13] <ikonia> chroot: /join #android

[15:14] <dabukalam> ikonia, methylenedioxy, I'm on Oneiric, and I can't find the package in apt.
[15:14] <ikonia> dabukalam: to be honest, you should have done this properly before rushing in, it's up to you how you undo it
[15:14] <weeb> is there a way to add desktop applet in unity ?
[15:14] <chroot> ikonia, i got nothing, i am use Xchat client.
[15:14] <mvv_> ahh, a less retarded command than the one i suggested would have been aptitude search '~i!~M'
[15:15] <ikonia> chroot: /join #freenode for irc help
[15:15] <dario__> !lista
[15:15] <chroot> ikonia, still, i got nothing when i type the command you paste,
[15:16] <chroot> and also, i am using xchat to connect to irc, is this a problem?  i  mean the client.
[15:16] <ikonia> chroot: xchat opens each channel in a new tab, look at the new tabs
[15:18] <Arkenklo> so, in 11.10 with gnome classic, where have all the settings gone?
[15:18] <pepee> I get this oops: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/7/25/252
[15:18] <Arkenklo> where, for an example, is compiz settings?
[15:18] <TXR> hey, I'm running into a problem, whenever I try to import or create a openVPN  connection all the settings are grayed out.. I'm using gnome 3.2
[15:18] <MonkeyDust> Arkenklo  CCSM
[15:18] <ikonia> pepee: what do you want us to do about it ?
[15:19] <Arkenklo> MonkeyDust: where can I find that?
[15:19] <pepee> ikonia, i want someone to fix it
[15:19] <MonkeyDust> Arkenklo  guess you have to install it, first
[15:19] <Arkenklo> oh, so it's just missing
[15:19] <Arkenklo> that's odd, but alright
[15:19] <ikonia> pepee: what version of ubuntu is it ?
[15:19] <inashdeen> hi, i lightdm login session, hoe can i change the name of GNOME to something else, say Gnome-shell
[15:20] <pepee> ikonia, oneiric
[15:20] <ikonia> then log a bug on launchpad.net for it against the oneiric kernel
[15:21] <pepee> uhm, i'm lazy
[15:21] <ikonia> pepee: then you won't get any help.
[15:21] <Arkenklo> be aware that ignorant is not the same as lazy
[15:21] <ikonia> Arkenklo: what ?
[15:22] <pepee> ^
[15:22] <Arkenklo> eh
[15:22] <lupuss> Hi there. Any help would be appreciated. I have upgraded to 11.10 and my cd-rom isn't being recognized.
[15:23] <ikonia> lupuss: did you not have the same problem with your network card earlier ?
[15:23] <pepee> lupuss, check the md5
[15:23] <gwb> HI -- If I'm logged in and then log in Guest on top of my session (click on my name and select Guest), system CPu goes nuts (in Xorg).  Bug or feature?
[15:23] <ikonia> 1
[15:23] <lupuss> not really ikonia: I don't know what the problem is with the internet, but there is a dude trying to help me already with pvt messages
[15:23] <lupuss> pepee: no clue what md5 is
[15:23] <pepee> lupuss, forget it..
[15:24] <ikonia> lupuss: you did have this same problem with your network card earlier, you couldn't see your network device
[15:24] <lupuss> any idea pepee ?
[15:24] <pepee> lupuss, do you mean your cd reader?
[15:24] <lupuss> yes, my cd reader
[15:24] <lupuss> different machine ikonia
[15:24] <BarkingFish> lupuss: Is this only in the desktop?
[15:24] <ikonia> lupuss: are you sure your hardware is ok, as cdrom not working, network card not working, all seems a bit of coincidence
[15:24] <ikonia> lupuss: could you define why it's not working ?
[15:25] <lupuss> network ain't working on laptop. cd-rom on desktop
[15:25] <lupuss> it's not working cause I try to burn a cd  (Write to Disc), and it doesn't regocnize nothing
[15:25] <ikonia> lupuss: could you please define how you are thinking it's not working
[15:26] <ikonia> lupuss: can it read cd's ?
[15:27] <magn3ts> Did the golly dratted GNOME3 change the key it reads for window buttons, or is there some other reason that it's kindly reverted to only giving me a close button?
[15:27] <lupuss> lemme try ikonia
[15:27] <lupine_85> hmm, it seems that the dhclient provided with the ubuntu server iso retries *forever* for IPv6 connectivity?
[15:27] <cablop> i have this problem
[15:27] <pepee> lupine_85, is networkmanager
[15:27] <lupine_85> I've got it stalling the installation ('server' ISO), currently with an interval of 125080ms
[15:28] <zelda> whats the better nvidia driver to use?
[15:28] <lupine_85> there is no NetworkManager process
[15:28] <zelda> I have 5 choices.
[15:28] <lupine_85> it's currently doing dhclient -6 -S -cf /var/lib/netcfg/dhclient6.conf -s
[15:28] <lupuss> ikonia it's not reading aswell
[15:28] <cablop> ihave this problem: i have my files in a luks-lvm encrypted disk, the ubuntu is installed on it, but it is 64bit, i need to move the disk to another cpu, but that other one is 32bit... i need to reinstall the linux on that machine... but... but i don't want to lose my files, and to backup them is not an option
[15:28] <cablop> any suggestion?
[15:28] <ikonia> lupuss: try booting a cdrom - that will tell you if the drive has a problem, or it's software related
[15:29] <lupine_85> (the config-file is basically empty aprt from setting the vendor-class-identifier and dhcp-client-identifier)
[15:29] <pepee> lupine_85, service NetworkManager stop
[15:29] <lupine_85> pepee, there is no networkmanager
[15:29] <deej1976> I'm waving a white flag to lupuss network card. commmented out eth0/1 from 70-persistent-network.rules, after reboot nothing. lspci shows Wireless broadcom no Wired card. Bios doesn't appear to be disabled
[15:29] <lupine_85> at this point, there is no 'service' binary
[15:29] <lupuss> in order to do so I'll need a bootable Cdrom, right ? or not necesseraly   ?
[15:29] <cablop> how can i activate the luks and the lvm at install time?
[15:30] <lupine_85> it's a bug in the dhclient software, is all
[15:30] <zelda> brb
[15:30] <deej1976> Ask him to try LiveCD, found desktop CD broke. Now creating liveUSB stick to see if that picks up network.
[15:31] <cablop> hum
[15:31] <cablop> how can i install ubuntu on a existing lvm?
[15:31] <lupine_85> never mind, I'll report a bug
[15:32] <pepee> /etc/init.d/NetworkManager stop
[15:32] <lupine_85> pepee, it doesn't exist
[15:32] <lupine_85> there are 5 files in that directory
[15:32] <lupine_85> cryptdiscs stuff and pcmciautils

[15:38] <cablop> i have this problem: i have my files in a luks-lvm encrypted disk, the ubuntu installed on it is 64bit, i need to move the disk to another cpu, and install a 32bit linux on it, there's no way to backup files at the moment, how can i accomplish that?
[15:38] <svip> :( 11.10 ruined my wacom setting.
[15:38] <pepee> bizrt, what does happen when you try booting it?
[15:39] <pepee> svip, deleted xorg.conf?
[15:39] <lupuss> deej1976: tried livecd from usb stick and network is working!
[15:40] <svip> pepee: Not exactly.
[15:40] <psychognite> hw to reset custom command to default in terminal
[15:40] <Odaym> strange, I type this line into the CLI and it takes effect, "export PS1="\[$(tput setaf 1)\]\u@\h:\w $ \[$(tput sgr0)\]", then when I want go to .bashrc and enter it, source .bashrc and then reset or close and reopen, it doesn't take effect
[15:40] <deej1976> lupuss: Possible the easiest route is to backup your data and reinstall
[15:40] <linds6630> Hi I'm using 11.10, just did some updates last night that seem to have broken gnome shell. dmesg  tells me over and over "Composite sync not supported" - how can i fix this
[15:40] <pepee> Psychobudgie, alias? unalias
[15:40] <svip> pepee: http://pastebin.com/egJNXXAU << This is how I set up my set up wacom.
[15:41] <XGaryG> I had Evolution set up, but switched to FireFox/Thunderbird. What would I use to have the calendar display events now?
[15:42] <lupuss> deej1976: yeah,that's what I'll just do.
[15:43] <lupuss> If anyone has the faster route, I'd be great
[15:43] <pepee> svip, sorry, I have no idea about that
[15:44] <mpeddi> Hello, does anyone know how to disable icons in the chat window?
[15:44] <pepee> lupuss, check what device do you have, install correct driver
[15:45] <mpeddi> Emapthy chat
[15:45] <pepee> broadcom drivers are problematic
[15:45] <mpeddi> very large icons are annoying
[15:46] <XGaryG> I liked having the events display below the calender when you click on the time.
[15:49] <Arkenklo> I've changed to gnome classic and I don't know how to shut my computer off anymore
[15:49] <Arkenklo> guess shutdown -hP now will do
[15:49] <mpeddi> how did you change to gnome classic?
[15:50] <linds6630> Hi I'm using 11.10, just did some updates last night that seem to have broken gnome shell. dmesg  tells me over and over "Composite sync not supported" - how can i fix this - using an Intel 915GM - was working before i rebooted after the updates..
[15:51] <XGaryG> Arkenklo: Where you have the option to log off, press the <ctrl> and <alt> keys.
[15:51] <zykotick9> !notunity | mpeddi
[15:52] <mpeddi> Thank you
[15:52] <bizrt> pepee i will try some commands that told me and if not working i will come back to ask you :)
[15:53] <pepee> bizrt, ok
[15:53] <linds6630> Can someone give me anything? How can I go about rolling back the updates.. or finding out what was updated to get an older version.. something to fix my computer.. would be appreciated
[15:53] <mcbaine> 8-) hi there
[15:53] <office3> I'm troubleshooting a friend's computer that someone else screwed up, it asks for Ctrl-I on reboot, and it's giving me a RAID setup menu. It's showing the RAID Volume 0 set to RAID1 with status "Rebuild" I'm going to try to fix it, if not, recover her files with a live CD. Thoughts? RAID experts?
[15:53] <pepee> linds6630, driver problem, probably
[15:54] <linds6630> I've gotten that far.. how do I fix it
[15:54] <pepee> linds6630, you can check what packages where updates from /var/log/apt/history.log
[15:54] <zykotick9> linds6630, when you startup do you see Grub?  If so, do you have an older kernel listed?  If so, have you tried it to see if gnome-shell works there?  Just something to try, no idea if it will help.
[15:55] <spinx60> inguy
[15:55] <linds6630> I'll try that, zykotick9 thanks

[16:08] <b0tm1nd> Hi. I am having an Intel integrated video card and when I was using Debain it was always freezeing after some time of hard load usage. Even in the latest Squeeze backports. But once I installed the latest Ubuntu 11.10 the problem went away, it became totally stable!
[16:08] <deej1976> !info xul-ext-lightning | XGaryG:
[16:09] <b0tm1nd> But I am having another problem.. I have an additional video card with chipset Radeon 9250 but with free drivers 3d acceleration seem not to be enabled, but for proprietary drivers I need to downgrade Xorg.
[16:09] <XGaryG> Do I have to enable something extra to see that?
[16:09] <b0tm1nd> So the question: what is the easiest way to downgrade Xorg on Ubuntu 11.10 ?
[16:10] <physically_fit> Am I missing something important if I choose to use Unity 2D forever (instead of Unity 3D)?
[16:10] <b0tm1nd> I have seen some solutions for 9.04 but they all not work for me..
[16:10] <b0tm1nd> Is it possible to download the sources of the needed version and just compile it?
[16:11] <physically_fit> hey

[16:13] <bizrt> pepee when i boot i go into console, i run the /etc/init.d/xdm status and said "dead" i run sudo /usr/bin/kdm but nothing happened! i can not boot into login screen
[16:14] <bizrt> pepee do you understand anything?
[16:14] <strix_> whats that in my ubuntu all files got my own execution permissions lifted?
[16:14] <ratcheer> physically_fit: A lot of people like 2D better. Personally, I don't see much difference.
[16:14] <strix_> basically i have right to read and change but not to execute anything
[16:14] <physically_fit> please never stop supporting Unity 2D :( i don't have too much money to upgrade my computers
[16:14] <strix_> and cannot change permissions
[16:15] <pepee> bizrt, hmm strange
[16:15] <physically_fit> ratcheer, i thought my notebook was capable, but just discovered that all the apps start faster in Unity 2D and my flash problem (slow and choppy) is gone
[16:16] <pepee> bizrt, try reinstalling the graphics driver
[16:17] <ratcheer> physically_fit: Sure. 2D should use a lot less resources.

[16:28] <Guest4612> how do I install it
[16:28] <groundnuty> hey I just rought home a monitor that has optimal 2560x1440 res. Strange thing is that 1) it is by default truned off when launchin X - inned to go to nvidia-setting to turn it on. 2) when I do it fonts are completely unredable.
[16:28] <Guest4612> guake apparently had a patch to properly handle multiple screens, which the repo version doesn't include?
[16:31] <stephanmg> hello. "paraview" package has been kept back in apt-get upgrade.
[16:31] <stephanmg> how can i fix it? apt-get safe-upgrade
[16:32] <zykotick9> stephanmg, apt-get doesn't accept "safe-upgrade".  apt-get dist-upgrade, will install everything possible.
[16:32] <pepee> Guest4612, you don't install .patch files
[16:32] <Guest4612> how do I patch then.
[16:32] <pepee> those are used to patch source code
[16:32] <stephanmg> zykotick9: but apt-get dist-upgrade will not install additional stuff. but safe-upgrade will

[16:33] <zykotick9> stephanmg, safe-upgrade is for aptitutde

[16:33] <stephanmg>   paraview
[16:33] <stephanmg> 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.

[16:33] <FloodBot1> stephanmg: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:33] <Guest4612> so do I manually have to go in and place the 'patched' section of code
[16:34] <bytesaber_work> any reason to not add this to 10.04 ?     https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu
[16:34] <stephanmg> aptitude safe-upgrade --full-resolver <-- will resolve it zykotick9?
[16:34] <JasseT> pepee: ah, it was a relick from running 64bit flash on lucid, thanks for pointing that out :)
[16:34] <pepee> Guest4612, no, there is this patch command that does it for you

[16:35] <Guest4612> ok.
[16:35] <Guest4612> i saw the patch command, although its not terribly clear how it works
[16:35] <stephanmg> zykotick9, nevermind, for me it worked and now paraview is also upgraded.
[16:35] <zykotick9> Guest4612, FYI you need to get the source code for the version that patch applies to.

[16:47] <pepee> strix_, kate
[16:48] <Emphy> Hi
[16:48] <cire> (I read some docs, but mostly they describe installation from ubuntu)
[16:49] <Emphy> I want to remove a BIOS password on my computer, how can help me ? Because I want to install windows/linux but I can't with the password
[16:49] <wiskey5alpha> pepee : hibernate (s2disk) hangs , and suspend (s2ram) works ...
[16:50] <wiskey5alpha> but when resuming from suspend, my wireless card doesnt work
[16:50] <tensorpudding> Emphy, you generally need to reset the BIOS CMOS, which is a physical process that requires access to the internals of the machine
[16:51] <kahen`> I'm following this example: http://www.tug.org/texlive/debian.html showing how to install vanilla TeX Live 2011, but I can't get the equivs-build step to work. the apt tools still seem to think that texlive isn't installed
[16:51] <tensorpudding> or you just enter the password and go to the BIOS setup
[16:51] <tensorpudding> the former assumes that you're trying to avoid the password because you don't know it
[16:51] <mrdeb> is ubuntu 1110 stable now
[16:51] <pepee> wiskey5alpha, no idea, sorry :/
[16:51] <Emphy>  I've removed the battery, wait 30 minutes, and replaced the battery but the BIOS password is always here
[16:51] <Emphy> tensorpudding, I don't have the BIOS password. :/
[16:52] <dpb_> Emphy: a lot of time you have to reset a jumper
[16:52] <Emphy> How many ?
[16:52] <tensorpudding> oh, laptops are different
[16:52] <dpb_> Emphy: oh, this is a laptop?
[16:52] <tensorpudding> you can presumably remove the CMOS battery and that would reset it
[16:52] <Emphy> Because When I restart the computer, I didn't have date and time but there is always password.
[16:53] <Emphy> Yes this is a laptop
[16:53] <tensorpudding> the regular laptop battery can be removed without affecting the CMOS, because it has a dedicated power source in the form of a large watch-type battery
[16:53] <pepee> CMOS battery, not only the mains batt. also, you don't need to wait 30 min
[16:53] <mcbaine> Saw this recently : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1X21HQphy6I PMessage me !!:-*
[16:53] <dpb_> Emphy, probably the best idea is to google for your laptop model and "reset bios password"
[16:54] <dpb_> Emphy: there may even be a youtube video about it.  I know I have followed one of those for my laptop before.
[16:54] <tensorpudding> if that doesn't work your only recourse would be to open it up and look for the CMOS reset jumper
[16:54] <Emphy> Okay I search
[16:54] <bytesaber_work> does mankind need the medibunt repo anymore?
[16:55] <bekor> does anyone know how to fix compositing after a distribution upgrade/

[16:57] <Emphy> And What CMOS reset jumper look like on laptop ?
[16:57] <AfterGlow> Does anyone know how to load additional network drivers into the installer if you are booting the installer from pxe?
[16:58] <tensorpudding> Emphy, surely that would depend on model
[16:58] <bekks> AfterGlow: Create a customized PXE image.
[16:58] <Emphy> Okay
[16:59] <AfterGlow> bekks: I added the required drivers into initrd, I wasn't sure how to load them so I tried calling modprobe from lib/debian-installer-startup.d/ but it does not appear to work, probably I am just doing it wrong :)
[16:59] <mcbaine> How do I set Pidgin so that it DOESN'T show the Log-ins and Log-Outs of people in the Message Display box ???? PMessage Me..:-$
[16:59] <AfterGlow> mcbaine: there is a plugin for that
[16:59] <AfterGlow> mcbaine: join/part hiding
[16:59] <llutz> mcbaine: please drop that "??? PMessage Me..:-$"
[16:59] <cire> okay, it seems i can just put the iso on a card using dd.
[17:00] <bekor> anyone available?
[17:00] <tensorpudding> Emphy, you should probably ask the person who set the password
[17:00] <tobzel> my xfce session seems to be corrupted how to start X without loading the old session
[17:00] <tensorpudding> it's the easiest route, seriously
[17:01] <zykotick9> cire, with 11.10 it's a hybrid image and you can use dd or cat (cat is what debian uses in official instructions) to put the ISO onto USB/SD
[17:02] <pepee> Emphy, dell laptop? IIRC those are impossible to bypass...
[17:02] <kaffien> how can i verify whether or not trim is active ?
[17:02] <cire> zykotick9: yeah, I finally found that information in the docs ;) Works like a charm, thanks.
[17:02] <Elda> Have a quick question:  Recently installed Ubuntu on my parent's PC so that I could provide them with a clean, easy to maintain OS.   I was wanting to add a few bookmarks to their desktop.  However this does not seem readily possible with Unity.  In order to do this would I have to revert to the classic gnome interface?
[17:03] <Elda> Ive been poking about on the forums, but have yet to find anything pertaining to this
[17:03] <tensorpudding> Elda, by default gnome 3 does not manage the desktop
[17:03] <tensorpudding> Elda, it was thought that desktop icons were not necessary
[17:04] <katt> HI all.. does anyone in here happen to use IDJC?
[17:04] <katt> thanks :)
[17:04] <tensorpudding> Elda, you can change this behavior using the gnome-tweak-tool, it's available from the software center
[17:04] <MonkeyDust> yes
[17:04] <dpb_> katt: what is idjc?
[17:04] <Elda> Gotcha, and it is not super necessary but I just want to have the icons there so that they blatantly say Web browser, Word processor etc
[17:05] <Elda> Since they are not very computer literate and they may not have the patience for or know to hold their mouse over the icon initially to see what it is, or even figure it out by sight initially hehe
[17:05] <tensorpudding> Elda, in order to get shortcuts on the desktop, the easiest way is to open the directory /usr/share/applications and copy the files there
[17:07] <guidov> dubuntu

[17:08] <donavan01> so I have an old EEE PC with a broken screen running the 1.6 Atom in it  I would like to get a USB Wifi adapter and use it as a wireless router/repeater does anyone now of a good distro to run on it I love ubuntu which is what it has installed on it now but its not really geared towards being a router... Ideas?
[17:08] <p3p3_> hello, is there a way to adapt a 11.10 installation for slow hardware? I'm running on 996 Mhz and 512 RAM and everything is running really slow.
[17:08] <tensorpudding> not really
[17:09] <tensorpudding> that's quite a bit lower than minimum recommended specs
[17:09] <nestleboy> p3p3, the best thing to do is to try running the instalation.
[17:09] <pepee> p3p3_, use debian
[17:09] <tensorpudding> you can try using a less resource-intensive configuration, like lubuntu
[17:10] <tensorpudding> lubuntu is more primitive but should run faster on limited hardware
[17:10] <tensorpudding> you can install it over your current by installing the lubuntu-desktop package, i suppose
[17:10] <MonkeyDust> there's also eee-buntu, or ubuntu-eee
[17:10] <tensorpudding> i think eee's are more powerful than that machine
[17:11] <p3p3_> thanks tensorpudding and everyone else i'll give lubuntu a try.
[17:11] <drew> hello everyone
[17:12] <Guest88117> Does anyone know how to use $ wget -m --tries=7 on a https website

[17:13] <ct529> hi everybody! What is the best way to disable IPV6 on ubuntu? I have googled and read and found so many different ways, I do not know which one is the best one.
[17:14] <astur_> buenas tardes
[17:17] <longcat> i told this update manager to never check for updates, yet every day it's bugging me to install updates...  how do i stop this insanity?
[17:17] <longcat> if it comes down to it, i'll just uninstall it but there should be another way
[17:17] <zykotick9> donavan01, if you want it to be a dedicated router (and nothing else) you could check out http://www.smoothwall.org/ it's got a web interface, and is pretty sweet.  I haven't used it in a couple years, and never tried it with wireless.  good luck.
[17:20] <mutant> I can't get click/drag to work (and it can be jumpy) with the Synaptics Clickpad on an HP Envy running 11.10
[17:20] <mutant> anyone able to possibly help?
[17:22] <inashdeen> i am having a problem with cairo dock. the jupiter minimized icon is not showing
[17:22] <trup> hell
[17:23] <donavan01> zykotick9 thanks checking it out now
[17:23] <trup> What command do i need to use to run applications from terminal?
[17:23] <surfdue> I made a file 1777 and the owner root. Why can another user still delete this file?
[17:25] <rumpe1> trup, depends on the application. Usually just the applications name.
[17:25] <trup> Hmm, il try
[17:25] <trup> Okay worked
[17:25] <surfdue> trup: I normally go to the dir and then type ./appname
[17:26] <surfdue> trup: or for example /var/bin/appname you can find the name of system wide apps by doing a which appname
[17:27] <surfdue> rumpe1: any idea about my question.. im stumped :/
[17:27] <rumpe1> surfdue, because of the 7=4(read)+2(write!)+1(execute)
[17:28] <trup> im newbie to linux, especially ubuntu distribution. Is there any important things that i should do? I noticed that there is only firewall no other av apps
[17:28] <surfdue> rumpe1: I assume write comes with delete priviledges.
[17:28] <surfdue> rumpe1: no way to give write, but not allow delete unless its the owner
[17:28] <rumpe1> surfdue, exactly
[17:28] <Elda> Try running unity 2d as opposed to 3d?  Kind of getting used to the new version myself
[17:28] <surfdue> rumpe1: i thought stickybit handled that part :(
[17:29] <Elda> oh sorry it was scrolled up, and I saw an older comment
[17:29] <Elda> sorry xD
[17:29] <rumpe1> surfdue, sure, e.g. 774 = user(all perm.), group(all), others(4=just read)
[17:29] <surfdue> rumpe1: see I need to give users the ability to edit the file, but just not delete it
[17:29] <rumpe1> surfdue, stickybit is only for execution
[17:30] <pikaciu> 1 exec 2 read 4 write
[17:31] <surfdue> rumpe1: do I have any options?
[17:31] <dmorrison42> I'm in the process of cleaning up my files. I have a mangled directory of files and an organized directory of files. Most of the files have been organized but I want to check to see if any of my files from the mangled directory are missing from the organized directory (the opposite of fdupes) how can I do that?
[17:31] <bekor> compiz issues any one good at it?
[17:31] <wapmorgan> how binding hot keys in gnome 3?
[17:31] <rumpe1> surfdue, that's not possible
[17:31] <Ampelbein> surfdue: you could set -w on the containing directory
[17:31] <inashdeen> bump
[17:32] <surfdue> Ampelbein: what will that do?
[17:32] <surfdue> Ampelbein: the directory is shared, there is other files that are being created and deleted
[17:32] <Ampelbein> surfdue: ok, then that option is out
[17:33] <surfdue> this is actually a link, and whats happening is an app is going in, loading the linked file, and rewriting it, causing the symbolic link to get overridden
[17:33] <gemunu> I'm running ubuntu 10.04.3 on a dell-xps-m1330. How can I install nvidia driver?
[17:34] <skeenan> surfdue: use chattr +a to set append attribute, file cannot be deleted, use lsattr to see whats set on it
[17:34] <inashdeen> hi, i am having a problem with icon which minimized to systray on cairo-dock. it is not showing on cairo-dock
[17:34] <TheProf> Good day. Question:  I reinstalled Ubuntu 11.04 and imported my users, passwords, /home, no problem.  But I found I have 2 entries for the first user created in /etc/passwd.  Can I delete one of them safely?
[17:35] <surfdue> skeenan let me check
[17:35] <zykotick9> gemunu, system / admin / hardware drivers (or similar) -- does it list nvidia, and/or show a (recommended) one?
[17:35] <codazoda> Ubuntu 11.10, Natalis 3.2.1, when I highlight a file or folder and then start to type, it shows a little box with that text.  If I click another file or folder that text used to dissapear and I could start typing again.  That box no longer goes away (instead it goes away after a few seconds).  Is this broken or am I just using it wrong?
[17:36] <TheProf> one entry is: fname:x:1000:1000:First Last,,,:/home/fname:/bin/bash, other is: fname:x:1000:1000:First Last:/home/fname:/bin/bash
 nope
[17:36] <codazoda> *Nautilus
[17:36] <pikaciu> gemunu: Additional drivers
[17:36] <zykotick9> gemunu, "lspci | grep -i vga" in a terminal
[17:37] <gemunu> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c)
[17:37] <zykotick9> gemunu, intel -- not nvidia
[17:37] <zykotick9> gemunu, OH is this one of those dual gpu things?
[17:38] <mkjackson> hey folks, been thinking of updating my father's old laptop which has been running ubuntu 8.10 (or so)... does 11.10 perform just as well, or hopefully better, on old hardware?
[17:38] <codazoda> Open Nautilus.  Click a file, type 'm'. Click another file, type 'a'.  The search string is now 'ma' and backspace takes you to a previous folder instead of backing up over what you just typed.
[17:38] <gemunu> but there is a nvidia sticker on the front
[17:38] <zykotick9> gemunu, i haven't used one of those (and kinda doubt lucid would be ideal at support for them)
[17:38] <orated> Hello! While configuring NAS, the input path given for file in /etc/exports like - '/ <IP_ADDRESS>/24(rw,no_root_squash,async)' - The / or /home or /var or whatever need to be individual partitions? I got /home in different partition and when I shared / only and tried to access from client, it didn't work giving home folder empty but later when I added same line for /home it worked.
[17:38] <zykotick9> gemunu, good luck.  sorry lucid might let you down (it was my fav ubuntu release ;)
[17:39] <gemunu> ok. Thanks
[17:39] <nestleboy> exit
[17:39] <Ampelbein> codazoda: That's a known issue, see bug 879456
[17:39] <zykotick9> gemunu, but there are some specific software for switching the gpu settings - see if you can get them for lucid (not sure what it's called)
[17:40] <inashdeen> hi, my lightdm turns pretty horriblr when i press the shut down button. i think it is uisng highcontrast or something. the thing is, only the shutdown panel in lightdm is affected. all the other themes are normal. how can fix this?
[17:40] <zykotick9> gemunu, switcheroo or something like that?
[17:40] <gemunu>  thanks for the tip
[17:41] <zykotick9> does anyone know what the software for switching nvidia/intel is called?
[17:42] <llutz> zykotick9: Bumblebee?
[17:42] <zykotick9> gemunu, see above for one option, there might be another as well.  thanks llutz
[17:43] <codazoda> Ampelbein: Okay, thanks.
[17:45] <hasufell> i got a generel question about ubuntu
[17:45] <hasufell> why does ubuntu suck?
[17:45] <Elda> trololol?
[17:45]  * lupine_85 deploys meta
[17:45] <zykotick9> gemunu, this post looks promising for lucid support http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1569380&page=6 i also noticed some PPAs with bumblebee (and that post suggests it'll work with bumblebee) so looks promising.  good luck.
[17:46] <Elda> Better yet; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32UGD0fV45g
[17:46] <inashdeen_> hi, i am using cairo dock on unity with the unity plugin disabled. the problem is, my minimized application to icon tray is not seen in cairo dock. ho wdo i fix these. OS: ubuntu 11.10

[17:47] <draioch> im trying to reinstall lubuntu following boot prob, used a live xubuntu DVD to get access to me home folders but cant cut and paste to backup drive before new OS install, do i need to change file permissions of something thx
[17:49] <zykotick9> gemunu, thank llutz ;) he knew the key fact
[17:49] <hasufell> i think ubuntu is an unstable version of debian experimental
[17:49] <llutz> Do you have any ubuntu support related question? hasufell
[17:49] <Arcademan> draioch, did you already mount the drive your backing up to
[17:50] <ct529> hi everybody! What is the best way to disable IPV6 on ubuntu? I have googled and read and found so many different ways, I do not know which one is the best one.
[17:50] <zykotick9> hasufell, ubuntu starts from debian "sid" the unstable branch (might might include packages from experimental repo as well)
[17:50] <draioch> thx arcademan dont think so how do u do that
[17:50] <me-1> hi...my PC can not run unity and gnome 3 what can be the issue
[17:50] <hasufell> llutz: yes, i want a stable ubuntu, but im unable to find one
[17:50] <Arcademan> hmm you could do it like so:
[17:50] <nootilus> hello everybody
[17:50] <draioch> acrademan the mount option is greyed out
[17:51] <me-1> nootilus, hi
[17:51] <Arcademan> ... mount /dev/sda/ /media
[17:51] <draioch> thx
[17:51] <Arcademan> or whatever the device is sda or sdb
[17:51] <nootilus> sorry to bother, but I would like to know if someone can help me or show me a good tuto/guide for newbie about making a script sending a mail
[17:52] <nootilus> I have set up a torrentbox which I manage with ssh. It uses rtorrent and I've read rTorrent can send a mail when a download is complete but I have no idea how to do that
[17:52] <Arcademan> draioch, just do umount to unmout it :)
[17:52] <Arcademan> same way :)
[17:52] <draioch> thx acrademan
[17:53] <me-1> hi...my PC can not run unity and gnome 3 what can be the issue
[17:53] <llutz> nootilus: http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/wiki/RTorrentCommonTasks
[17:53] <Arcademan> me-1 video card issue :)
[17:54] <nootilus> llutz, yes I found that page, but it simply says "Assuming you have a working mail system" and I have no idea how to have a working mail system
[17:54] <llutz> nootilus: install a simple nullmailer or ssmtp/msmtp + bsd-mailx, setup the host you want to send the mail to and you should be fine.
[17:55] <draioch> arcademan: the external drive can be accessed (able to delete files) so must be a prob with the files in the home folder of the previous install
[17:55] <nootilus> llutz, ok I'll go find some infos about a "nullmailer"
[17:55] <me-1> Arcademan,  you seem right but how can i make sure i get the video card that is capable
[17:55] <nootilus> thanks
[17:55] <llutz> nootilus: lhttp://www.absolutelytech.com/2010/07/17/howto-configure-msmtp-to-work-with-gmail-on-linux/
[17:55] <nootilus> I'll stay around if I'm stuck ;)
[17:56] <Arcademan> might be draioch :)
[17:56] <alsoeric_> I;d like to set up dual monitors but all the instructions I've found don't work.  suggestions?
[17:56] <Arcademan> you should be able to do copy <whereever your home folder is> to /media
[17:57] <draioch> thx arcademan do i need to change the permissions to access those files (files are from previous install that i had boot problem so using livedvd to access them but wont let me copy them over)
[17:57] <nootilus> llutz, thanks again, the link you sent me seems very clear. I'll try that
[17:58] <elias_> good evening (18:57 UTC-1)
[17:58] <Arcademan> you should sill be able to copy them draioch :)
[17:58] <Arcademan> using the live CD

[17:58] <elias_> hi, ErisMonk

[18:00] <Arcademan> draioch, you should be able to select custom disk when installing and change it accordigly just be careful
[18:00] <draioch> thx arcademan
[18:01] <Arcademan> just be warned if you select the wrong option the data goes by by :)
[18:01] <nootilus> llutz, are you still here?
[18:02] <llutz> nootilus: yes
[18:02] <elias_> 1651 connected user, wow!
[18:02] <elias_> hi, tolmun
[18:02] <elias_> hi, kstange
[18:02] <nootilus> llutz, do you know if I can use the tuto you gave me with another mail account than gmail? It seems I can't pass the gmail "2 steps security" system
[18:02] <kstange> is there a channel regarding mirroring for ubuntu or should I ask here?
[18:03] <kstange> I'm having trouble finding good documentation on the subject
[18:03] <llutz> nootilus: it should work with every other mail-account too
[18:03] <KrisDouglas> kstange, mirroring in terms of?
[18:03] <kstange> mirroring the ubuntu distribution
[18:03] <nootilus> llutz, ok, I'll try with one of my imap account
[18:03] <kstange> I have done it, I submitted my mirroring request, and it's still pending review after 2 weeks
[18:03] <nootilus> llutz, thanks again for your patience ;)
[18:04] <kstange> I realize the mirror admins may be busy, but I couldn't find any documentation to indicate the normal review process or timeline
[18:05] <llutz> nootilus: other example setups http://msmtp.sourceforge.net/doc/msmtprc.txt
[18:06] <kstange> oh, I just found a page I didn't see before which says #ubuntu-mirrors is where I belong, sorry for the noise
[18:06] <nootilus> llutz, thanks
[18:06] <nootilus> llutz, don you have any clue? -> "msmtp: the server does not support TLS via the STARTTLS command"
[18:07] <nootilus> I wonder if I shouldn't set a gmail account without the 2-steps protection just for my torrentbox... :)
[18:07] <llutz> nootilus: try again with "tls off" "tls_starttls off"
[18:07] <nootilus> llutz, ok
[18:08] <nootilus> llutz, hmmm... "msmtp: cannot use a secure authentication method"
[18:09] <llutz> nootilus: "auth off"
[18:09] <llutz> nootilus: next step would be to look for more advanced mail-provider
[18:09] <nootilus> llutz, ah
[18:10] <searchfgold6789> How do I convert several .png's to jpeg? I have imagemagick but don't know what to do

[18:13] <christian__1> please could someone help me: i have a apache php server running on my local machine, i am creating a directory with php, but it can't: permission denied, how can i set the permissions ?? i know the user is www-data
[18:13] <christian__1> i could add the user in the root group. but i dont think thtas a good idea
[18:14] <llutz> christian__1: make the parent dir group writable and chgrp www-data
[18:14] <MonkeyDust> christian__1  ls -la shows the permissions, use chown to change them
[18:14] <christian__1> is it enough when i change the permissions of the dierctory where he wants to create his ?
[18:14] <christian__1> thank you !!!!!
[18:14] <christian__1> i will try it :D
[18:17] <gmcinnes2> Hi all:  The latest nagios-nrpe-server seems to have an init script that is not writing a pid to /var/run/nagios.  It uses the lsb/init-functions start_daemon function to start the daemon, but it's not giving me any debug info about not being able to create the pid.  Any ideas how to debug?
[18:17] <nootilus> gah, I just created a new gmail "unprotected" account but still can't send mail :(
[18:18] <elias_> hi, apetro
[18:19] <elias_> apetro: where are you from?

[18:19] <christian__1> i changed owner + group to www-data
[18:19] <christian__1> but it still cant create the directory
[18:19] <llutz> christian__1: make  dir group writable
[18:20] <llutz> christian__1: sudo chmod g+w dir
[18:20] <christian__1> it is writeable

[18:21] <edbian> I can't write my vfat usb drive in Debian (on xfce) it's mounted read/write (mount says so anyway) everything is owned by user root (UID 0) I can't chmod or chown anything and I can't touch files in there without using sudo.  Suggestions?
[18:22] <iceroot> edbian: #debian
[18:22] <llutz> edbian: use mount options like uid/gid/umask, chown/chmod don't work
[18:22] <edbian> oops
[18:22] <edbian> I'm going to Debian
[18:23] <edbian> llutz, Why do I need to set uid gid ?
[18:23] <christian__1> still doenst work... the 2 mentioned directories, are inside /mnt/ does the /mnt/ directory also need to be owned (or grouped) by www-data ? and set to be writeable ??

[18:25] <geoffmcc> christian_1: is this in /var/www or have you created a vhost?
[18:26] <koichirose> Hi, I'm running Ubuntu 11.10 with gnome classic. Nautilus' "File Operations" dialog is not an actual window and will disappear under other windows if I don't set it 'always on top'. Anybody knows where to look for this?
[18:26] <Iraqi> RE: Is there driver for " lbt canon 6000 " in Ubuntu? if there from where I can get it?
[18:27] <glebihan> christian__1, no the /mnt directory doesn't need to be owned by www-data. Where are you trying to create a new folder exactly ?
[18:27] <christian__1> i know changed every direcotry inside the direcotry tree to writeable by g and o (the unsafest way)
[18:27] <christian__1> now it works
[18:27] <christian__1> /mnt/analysis_data/uploaded/5/c/c/5ccf290f9612e53a853ad6bd59b02e55.gz
[18:27] <christian__1> /mnt/analysis_data/uploaded/    exists
[18:27] <christian__1> everything else is created by the php server
[18:27] <christian__1> its working now with all rights for group and other...
[18:28] <christian__1> i know its a bad idea to do this ...
[18:28] <christian__1> i think it should work if i set the gruop to www-data and set group +w
[18:28] <iceroot> christian__1: using 777 is bad, in compination with php its really bad
[18:28] <christian__1> for the dir analysis_data and everything under ?
[18:28] <christian__1> i know iceroot
[18:29] <christian__1> i am a real noob with permissions and linux
[18:29] <christian__1> :D
[18:30] <elias_> hi alexandrev. Where are you from?
[18:31] <Myrtti> elias_: this isn't really a social channel. this is for Ubuntu support.

[18:31] <vezeena> hey
[18:31] <geoffmcc> lol
[18:32] <pikaciu> i'm offtopic too !
[18:32] <vezeena> how can i setup dual monitor on oneiric? the 2nd monitor doesnt show on nvidia-settings. monitor 1 is plugged into the mah nvidia card. monitor 2 is plugged into the motherboard
[18:33] <vezeena> couldnt find a guide... theyre all for gnome desktop not unity
[18:34] <buntu> on #gentoo
[18:36] <Folklore> just installed new ubuntu with this dumb bar thing on the side
[18:36] <Folklore> how can I get to a cmd shell
[18:36] <Iraqi> Is there driver for printer " lbt canon 6000 "  ? and How I can get it?
[18:36] <Folklore> and how do I turn this garbage off
[18:36] <Folklore> and show old menus
[18:36] <tensorpudding> Folklore, do you want a console or a terminal emulator?
[18:36] <tensorpudding> Folklore, the former works as it has in the past, ctrl+alt+f1
[18:37] <plummerb> Is using Update-Manager the same as apt-get update, apt-get upgrade  ??
[18:37] <tensorpudding> Folklore, for the latter, hover the mouse over the left edge, click the thing with the ubuntu logo at the top, it opens the dash, where you can launch programs
[18:37] <Folklore> tensor thats not what I wanted
[18:37] <Myrtti> Folklore: terminal emulator can be launched with ctrl-alt-t as well
[18:37] <tensorpudding> Folklore, then look for the one labelled Terminal
[18:37] <ssta> plummerb: almost.  I think it uses a very slightly different set of proprities for dependencies...or maybe that's changed now
[18:37] <Folklore> I meant in ubuntu, a simple shell
[18:38] <Folklore> not turn the whole into into a concole
[18:38] <tensorpudding> Folklore, i asked whether you wanted a console or a terminal emulator, it sounds like you want the latter, so do what i said to launch Terminal
[18:38] <pikaciu> Folklore: altt + f2 and digit xterm
[18:38] <Folklore> anyway I can just have the old menu show, like other ubuntu versions
[18:38] <plummerb> Folklore  ctrl+alt+F7  will take you back to X
[18:39] <tensorpudding> Folklore, the old interface is gone
[18:39] <tensorpudding> Folklore, as of 11.10
[18:39] <Folklore> what?
[18:39] <Myrtti> !notunity | Folklore
[18:39] <ssta> Folklore: yes.  once you get a terminal, install gnome-shell, log out, then log back in using "classic" as the desktop
[18:39] <tensorpudding> Folklore, it was part of gnome 2, the old version of gnome, and ubuntu has migrated to gnome 3
[18:39] <Folklore> no wonder ubuntu popularity has plummeted
[18:39] <plummerb> Hmmmmm...  Troll?
[18:39] <tensorpudding> Folklore, if you install gnome-shell, you can get gnome-fallback, which looks vaguely like the old one
[18:40] <Folklore> plummberb you referring to me? because I tell you what friend
[18:40] <Folklore> this new interface, FORCED upon all users, is what I call trolled
[18:40] <Folklore> not me
[18:40] <ssta> Folklore: http://scarygliders.net/2011/11/15/get-rid-of-unity-on-fresh-ubuntu-installation-and-customize-to-your-liking/
[18:40] <Myrtti> Folklore: please, let's be civil
[18:40] <llutz> !nounity
[18:40] <tensorpudding> Folklore, the change to the UI are not entirely popular
[18:40] <smw> Folklore, agreed, but it is also gnome's fault
[18:40] <tensorpudding> Folklore, just follow the instructions
[18:41] <plummerb> ssta  Ok.  I have CrunchBank which doesn't have update-manager...
[18:41] <smw> Folklore, actually, alot of it is gnome's fault.
[18:41] <plummerb> Folklore, then use Lumbuntu or Xubuntu...
[18:41] <altf2o> I would argue /forced/ is removing the ability to use any other UI, which they have not, it's simply another step. If you don't like it install GNOME3 and be done with it.
[18:41] <smw> Folklore, I think ubuntu should have spent less time working on unity and more time rebuilding gnome2 on top of gnome 3
[18:42] <LjL> !ot
[18:42] <smw> sorry LjL
[18:42] <tensorpudding> they could have created a shell which looked like the one in gnome 2
[18:42] <tensorpudding> but that would have begun to look dated as everyone else moved to gnome-shell
[18:42] <Myrtti> can we please move the discussion about desktop environment politics to #ubuntu-offtopic
[18:42] <Guest88117> hello
[18:43] <Guest88117> does any one know how to use $ wget -m --tries=7 on a https website?
[18:43] <plummerb> Ok...  So if I want to install update-manager is that what I install or is it called something else?  update-manager-core?
[18:44] <danpalmer> hi there, im having some problems with sudo
[18:44] <Folklore> might look at mint, heard that was good
[18:44] <Folklore> thanks guys
[18:44] <plummerb> I have CrunchbanG...  not Crunchbank...  lol
[18:44] <geoffmcc> Guest88117: man wget shows how to pass along the username/password if that helps
[18:44] <oCean> plummerb: you said you are running Crunchbang?  Looking for DLNA server for Ubuntu. Help! ^)

[18:46] <inashdeen> hi everyone, how do i disable indication-application-service at startup? second, if disable it, will it only affect unity or will tiaffect gnome shell DE too?
[18:46] <Myrtti> Folklore: good luck. Mint is moving to Gnome3 too.
[18:46] <oCean> ghabit: have you seen/tried http://www.tvmobili.com/ ?
[18:47] <Guest88117> It isnt working, I am tring every thing but no luck
[18:47] <danpalmer> anyone got any ideas about my problem? making my server totally unusable.
[18:48] <ghabit> oCean, nope, thanks!
[18:50] <geoffmcc> danpalmer: im just trying to look into it, you fix file and on your next sudo it broke again, nothing inbetween?
[18:51] <danpalmer> geoffmcc: no, i fixed it a few hours ago in the recovery mode, added the users back to it, and now when I tried (and one of the other users tried too) we aren't in it. server has been rebooted once in between, but it worked for a few hours
[18:51] <Guest88117> maybe I am doing it wrong, When I type man wget it gives me a screen. telling me what it can do, but what should I type in the manual page
[18:52] <danpalmer> geoffmcc: main stuff on the server: apache, svn, mysql, virtualbox, thats about it at the moment apart from the standard packages.
[18:52] <geoffmcc> danpalmer: what version of ubuntu
[18:52] <danpalmer> 11.10 server
[18:53] <geoffmcc> Guest88117: if you skim threw it you should see the arguments for username/password. I would give u directly but i dont remember them, but i know they are in man
[18:53] <ybit3> any work on integrating nepomuk into ubuntu?
[18:53] <geoffmcc> Guest88117: ps you are probably going to find to that most sites block this with a user agent string
[18:54] <Folklore> is there faster way to run a terminal
[18:54] <boxybrown> hey guys
[18:55] <ybit3> hi boxybrown
[18:55] <boxybrown> my hostname -f isnt returning the fqdn as set in resolver.conf
[18:55] <boxybrown> any tips?
[18:55] <boxybrown> is there a way to get hostname to reload from this file?
[18:55] <iceroot> Folklore: yakuake or tilda
[18:55] <geoffmcc> danpalmer: when you try to sudo does it say "cant open /etc/sudoers; permission denied" or say something else or nothing at all
[18:55] <llutz> Folklore: faster than ctrl-alt-t, guake
[18:55] <Guest4612> i opend up libre calc just now, and boom, lightdm @ 99%
[18:56] <danpalmer> geoffmcc: "cat: /etc/sudoers: Permission denied"
[18:56] <iceroot> danpalmer: sudo
[18:56] <llutz> danpalmer: ls -l /etc/sudoers
[18:57] <Folklore> thanks llutz, I may keep ubuntu only cause I wanna test some simple server code im writing, no way i'd be able to handle this as a main os
[18:57] <danpalmer> iceroot, geoffmcc: when sudo'ing "dan is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported."
[18:57] <Folklore> got it in vbox
[18:57] <danpalmer> llutz: "-r--r----- 1 root root 574 2011-04-15 17:02 /etc/sudoers"
[18:57] <iceroot> danpalmer: then use the first user created with ubuntu
[18:57] <iceroot> danpalmer: your primary user
[18:57] <danpalmer> i am
[18:57] <iceroot> danpalmer: then you broke your system
[18:57] <danpalmer> iceroot: i was able to sudo a few hours ago
[18:58] <danpalmer> and nothing has been happening since that we have done
[18:58] <ccmonster> any clue what would cause libre office to use 99% of my cpu? or to make LightDM use it, that is
[18:58] <iceroot> danpalmer: never ever edit /etc/sudoers directly
[18:58] <danpalmer> iceroot: i wouldnt. i was using usermod
[18:58] <iceroot> danpalmer: what is the output of "id"
[18:58] <danpalmer> iceroot: i added the users I needed to by doing "usermod -G sudo <user>"
[18:58] <danpalmer> iceroot: "uid=1000(dan) gid=1000(dan) groups=1000(dan),1007(svn)"
[18:59] <llutz> danpalmer: "2011-04-15 " on 11.10? do you have some auto-restore features active which reset all changes in your system after a while?
[18:59] <iceroot> danpalmer: admin-group is missing
[18:59] <llutz> danpalmer: usermod -aG
[18:59] <danpalmer> iceroot: i know that. it was there before
[18:59] <iceroot> danpalmer: boot a live-system or use recovery-mode and change that
[18:59] <llutz> danpalmer: you removed all other groups when not using -a
[18:59] <Lostmonk> whats good for converting video to ipod format on ubuntu?
[19:00] <danpalmer> llutz: i thought that "G" added as opposed to "g" that replaced, not sure where I read that, might be wrong
[19:00] <iceroot> danpalmer: did you enable the root-account?
[19:00] <llutz> danpalmer: man usermod
[19:00] <genii-around> danpalmer: When you use: usermod -G newgroup username   .... if you do not use the -a switch, "newgroup" becomes the ONLY group that user belongs to
[19:00] <iceroot> danpalmer: by setting a password?
[19:00] <Guest88117> geoffmcc:  Is there an other way to make a copy?
[19:00] <paulus> I want remaster the ubuntu without remastersy, you know other tool?
[19:00] <danpalmer> llutz: also, this doesnt explain why I was REMOVED from the sudo group
[19:00] <iceroot> !remaster | paulus
[19:00] <atruno>  does anyone know of a cheap ntsc video capture device that works on ubuntu, and can do ntsc 720x480 ?
[19:00] <llutz> danpalmer: sudoers file date is: "2011-04-15 " on 11.10? do you have some auto-restore features active which reset all changes in your system after a while?
[19:01] <iceroot> atruno: ntsc does not have 720*480
[19:01] <danpalmer> llutz: i dont know about those features
[19:01] <atruno> oh
[19:01] <geoffmcc> Guest88117: sorry not off top of my head, but im sure there are packages out there
[19:01] <danpalmer> llutz: if they are enabled by default then i guess I have them running. no idea about that stuff though, i didnt know it existed
[19:01] <wbBlueDave> Hi everyone! Guys, can someone help me with a bluetooth problem ? thanks in advance
[19:01] <atruno> iceroot, what does ?
[19:02] <llutz> danpalmer: there is nothing like that by default, the file-date seem just too old to me to be "normal"

[19:02] <maslen> How can I safely exit and resume X? ( My goal is to install the newest nvidia driver)
[19:02] <office3> how do I set up RAID while installing 11.04
[19:03] <geoffmcc> Guest88117: its pretty simple, but if you use firefox maybe just file save page as, may be more work if a few pages, but off top head best i can give ya
[19:03] <ActionParsnip> maslen: the 285 driver is on the xorg edgers
[19:03] <geoffmcc> maslen: have you considered installing it from ppa?
[19:03] <blargg> Any way to reduce HDD thrashing when copying to a FAT partition? I'd like the file copy to basically read say 50MB of data, then write it all in one go, etc.
[19:03] <maslen> geoffmcc: I was not aware that was possible.
[19:04] <maslen> ActionParsnip: What is the 'xorg edgers' ?
[19:04] <Folklore> wow ubuntu doesn't even have latest firefox?
[19:04] <ActionParsnip> maslen: use the less fresh more stable link in the description
[19:04] <Folklore> says 7.0 is latest, when 8 is already out...
[19:04] <Guest30386> HI I am a new user and accidently installed Ub 11.10 as default OS, on windows XP....how can I get dual boot option...please advise thanks in advance

[19:04] <iceroot> office3: use the alternate-disc which can use sw-raid at setup
[19:04] <llutz> Folklore: you want a rolling-release distro
[19:05] <iceroot> Folklore: there a never major-updtae inside a release
[19:05] <ActionParsnip> maslen: its a ppa, you'll find it with near zero effort
[19:05] <office3> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID
[19:05] <iceroot> Folklore: in the official repos
[19:05] <office3> is this ok?
[19:05] <danpalmer> ok, i think I know how to fix the system now. im leaving to do that.
[19:05] <office3> iceroot:
[19:05] <Sarek> hi
[19:05] <Folklore> iceroot it doesn't use Mozilla's releases?
[19:05] <ActionParsnip> maslen: in ubuntu its very rare to actually download something to then install it
[19:06] <iceroot> Folklore: as i said, inside the ubuntu repos there are only sec udates, never feature-updates for one ubuntu version
[19:06] <naitsabes> j/list
[19:06] <iceroot> Folklore: almost never, only a very few apps get major-updates
[19:07] <Sarek> I am looking for a kernel image of 3.0.0 that does _not_ have KVM compiled in. I read that from 2.6.anything on all version have KVM compiled in
[19:07] <ActionParsnip> maslen: after you add the ppa, install nvidia-current and 285 is yours
[19:07] <Folklore> iceroot and why is this, canonical is intentionally making users less secure because they want to throw their logo on firefox distributions instead of using the normal ones?
[19:08] <iceroot> Folklore: you dont want big changes in your software when you only want a sec-update
[19:08] <Folklore> I want the choice, that's what I want
[19:08] <iceroot> Folklore: you have the choice
[19:09] <Folklore> not canonical dictating that for me, so much for "freedom"
[19:09] <Folklore> apparently not
[19:09] <maslen> geoffmcc, ActionParsnip: Installing it now from the 'update manager'. Thanks!
[19:09] <iceroot> Folklore: do what you want with your system, add a repo you want, add a ppa you want
[19:09] <iceroot> Folklore: but we dont want big changes when there are security-updates
[19:09] <Folklore> why
[19:09] <blargg> iceroot, no, it's true, Canonical came to my door with a gun and forced me to use Ubuntu. They give me no choice!
[19:09] <iceroot> Folklore: things should not break after an update
[19:10] <blargg> I am appreciative of stable releases. I still use 10.04.
[19:10] <Folklore> why would a browser update break anything?
[19:10] <geoffmcc> ActionParsnip: just wondering the difference between your way and mine, i suggested add ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates as thats what i did
[19:10] <Folklore> it doesn't break anything on windows
[19:10] <bashed> Can I use the time command to print just the time for the process without showing the actual output?
[19:10] <oCean> Folklore: if you just came to rant, please find some place else to do so.
[19:10] <iceroot> Folklore: what about "gnome2 is used by 11.04" now gnome2 is no longer supported, sould 11.04 just update gnome2 to gnome3? is that what you want?
[19:10] <ActionParsnip> maslen: easier than windows, plus when the ppa is updated you will too
[19:10] <Guest88117> geoffmcc: That copies some of the page but will not put every thing together like page.html and so on
[19:10] <iceroot> Folklore: all your addons from 7.0 are working with 8.0?
[19:11] <iceroot> Folklore: you tested ALL addons?
[19:11] <Folklore> a GUI manager update is differnt from a browser update
[19:11] <geoffmcc> Guest88117: sorry, wish i could have been of more help
[19:11] <richpk21> h
[19:11] <Folklore> iceroot that's a non-argument because you know what, in windows I can hit the about button in firefox and update without any issues
[19:11] <Folklore> I have that choice, that freedom
[19:11] <Adriannom> got disconnected.  no idea if anyone replied so i'll post this again:
[19:11] <Folklore> ubuntu won't let me do that
[19:11] <Adriannom>  hi.  just built a new machine and i transferred my ssd from my old machine to the new.  however, when i boot i get the error "gave up waiting for root device".  if i wait a while and type exit the error repeats.  if i load grub and try recovery mode i get a blank screen forever.  i also tried deleting the UUID from grub and the error persists.  i've booted a livecd and i can't actually see any disks under the sata host
[19:11] <Adriannom>  adapter.  i can see the disk in the bios though.  any ideas what i could try next?
[19:11] <iceroot> Folklore: you can do it in ubuntu too
[19:11] <FloodBot1> Adriannom: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:11] <blargg> Folklore, the user doesn't care why the breakage occurs; stability involves the OS and apps.
[19:11] <iceroot> Folklore: just install the version from mozilla
[19:11] <iceroot> Folklore: as you do on windows
[19:12] <Guest88117> geoffmmc its ok You have help more then google lol
[19:12] <Folklore> that version already should be installed
[19:12] <Folklore> but thanks
[19:12] <iceroot> Folklore: then you can hit the update4 button
[19:12] <Guest88117> So thank you
[19:12] <oCean> Folklore: of course you have the freedom to choose whatever you want. Newer versions are available through PPA archives.
[19:12] <ActionParsnip> Folklore: use the stable or nightly ppa. Not hard
[19:12] <iceroot> Folklore: or backports
[19:13] <bullgard4> https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/X_resources: "Xresources and Xdefaults are user-level configuration dotfiles, typically located at ~/.Xresources and ~/.Xdefaults.

[19:13] <bullgard4> ...~/.Xdefaults is deprecated"?
[19:13] <ActionParsnip> Folklore: lots more choice than windows
[19:14] <iaj> lo there
[19:14] <ActionParsnip> Hi laj
[19:14] <tensorpudding> bullgard4, deprecated for what?
[19:14] <iceroot> Folklore: e.g. when i updates thunderbirde from 6 to 7 enigmail was not working. that is not a case i want by default
[19:14] <Folklore> Action oh yeah? Ubuntu has millions of apps too?
[19:14] <iaj> I know that du -h is giving me a list of filesizes inside the current directory.
[19:14] <Folklore> exactly...no random digs are necessary
[19:14] <tensorpudding> bullgard4, i don't think many programs have used it for configuration
[19:14] <iaj> Is there some good way to sort it, biggest on the bottom?
[19:14] <iceroot> Folklore: i took more then a week until enigmail was working with 7.0
[19:15] <Folklore> iceroot that sounds like a serious operating system problem
[19:15] <ActionParsnip> Folklore: sure there are thousands in software centre alone
[19:15] <Folklore> thunderbird auto updates on my box and works fine
[19:15] <iceroot> Folklore: what?
[19:15] <iceroot> Folklore: that has nothing to do with the os
[19:15] <Folklore> action don't pretend linux has anywhere near as many apps as windows does, that's silly
[19:15] <oCean> Folklore: you have the freedom to choose Windows if you want. Please stop the offtopic discussion now
[19:15] <Folklore> iceroot a program update breaking other programs
[19:15] <Folklore> you don't see a problem with that?
[19:15] <iceroot> Folklore: enigmail is a thunderbird-addon
[19:15] <Folklore> that's crazy to me
[19:16] <oCean> Folklore: stop it now, last warning
[19:16] <tensorpudding> trotting out the numbers of apps available is pointless, why does it actually matter
[19:16] <ActionParsnip> Folklore: its called a bug
[19:16] <llutz> could you please take that discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic
[19:16] <Guest30386> Really need help - HI I am a new user and accidently installed Ub 11.10 as default OS, on windows XP....how can I get dual boot option...please advise thanks in advance
[19:16] <ActionParsnip> Folklore: remember blaster virus? Is that not the same?
[19:16] <Folklore> oCean what are you even talking about? hey I got an idea how about you stop warning me, ignoring everyone else, and make your focus fair and balanced, singling me out doesn't make you look very good
[19:16] <Folklore> just sayin...
[19:17] <iceroot> Folklore: we told you why there are no major updates and nopw stop it
[19:17] <zmbmartin> How long until thunderbird 8 is in the repos?
[19:17] <iceroot> zmbmartin: read the lines above
[19:17] <ActionParsnip> Folklore: is the blaster virus in windows not the same?
[19:18] <zmbmartin> iceroot: I just got in here. I don't have any lines above.
[19:18] <iceroot> zmbmartin: there are normally no major-updates within an ubuntu-release
[19:18] <geoffmcc> Guest30386: you should install xp and then ubuntu and you should be fine
[19:18] <ActionParsnip> I love knowledge of both windows and Linux for when people think windows is faultless. Pure comedy
[19:18] <bullgard4> tensorpudding: I cited tha opinion of an archliniux author. I'd appreciate to hear how this relates to Ubuntu 11.10.
[19:19] <zmbmartin> iceroot:  The forums and some news posts say they will be available any day
[19:19] <iceroot> ActionParsnip: specially in that case there is no difference in windows and ubuntu you can do the same thing.
[19:19] <powdahound> Are karmic updates no longer available? Getting 404s hitting http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/karmic-updates/*
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> zmbmartin: for which release?
[19:19] <iceroot> zmbmartin: then is the answer "any day"
[19:19] <tensorpudding> bullgard4, considering that Xdefaults is part of x.org, i would assume that its deprecation is the same in ubuntu
[19:19] <iceroot> !eol | powdahound
[19:20] <iceroot> powdahound: short answer is "yes no longer available"
[19:20] <ActionParsnip> iceroot: just the fact of "updates shouldnt cause issues" :-D
[19:20] <powdahound> Interesting - didn't know the repos got taken down at that point. Will check these links. Thanks
[19:20] <ActionParsnip> Karmic was the daddy
[19:20] <luist> hey guys… im trying to change the loading logo and i cant run update-initramfs correctly inside the chroot: http://pastie.org/2884835   so the logo only changes when turning off. what am i missing?
[19:21] <blargg> ActionParsnip, they shouldn't cause issues, which is why I use Ubuntu and their conservative approach.
[19:22] <ActionParsnip> blargg: updates can cause issues, its a possibility in all softwares
[19:23] <blargg> ActionParsnip, yeah, my point was just that's why I like Ubuntu's updates mostly being just security, so they won't be as likely to break anything.
[19:23] <geoffmcc> blargg: a security update can foul up just as much as any other
[19:23] <bullgard4> tensorpudding: You said that you did not know why this article deprecates using .Xdefaults. Later you are saying that its deprecation is the same in Ubuntu. I am sorry but I cannot find any reasoning in your message.
[19:23] <ActionParsnip> True. I'm massochistic and am running 12.04 now
[19:24] <tensorpudding> bullgard4, i didn't read the article
[19:24] <tensorpudding> but i know that Xdefaults is part of X.org
[19:24] <blargg> This HDD thrashing is driving me nuts. I just want it to buffer writes until it's got about 50MB, then flush it ALL before it starts reading more. This way a file copy won't thrash near as much (copying a ton of data here).
[19:24] <ActionParsnip> zmbmartin: http://edigitales.org/ready-with-your-firefox-8-and-thunderbird-8-install-now/
[19:24] <tensorpudding> X.org is an independent piece of software and ubuntu does not mess with it
[19:24] <tensorpudding> so if X.org has deprecated .Xdefaults, then it will be deprecated in Ubuntu too
[19:25] <tensorpudding> the bald statement of .Xdefaults being deprecated makes little sense to me
[19:25] <ActionParsnip> blargg: is your ram healthy?
[19:26] <bullgard4> tensorpudding: Do you speak about this: http://www.x.org/wiki/ ?
[19:26] <blargg> ActionParsnip, yeah, machine is fine. For some reason copying to a FAT partition thrashes a lot more. I'm thinking maybe it makes some meta-data uncacheable or something.
[19:26] <tensorpudding> yes
[19:26] <genii-around> xorg.conf is also deprecated but still can be used if you want.
[19:26] <boxybrown> anybody know how to set FQDN?
[19:27] <boxybrown> i think its getting borked by Avahi
[19:27] <tensorpudding> bullgard4, i think what they meant is that you should use .Xresources instead of .Xdefaults
[19:27] <blargg> I'm not sure whether cp etc. uses truncate to pre-allocate space. I know that things like ext4 don't care, since they allocate on write.
[19:27] <blargg> allocate on flush rather
[19:28] <ActionParsnip> blargg: FAT? Wow, people still use that?
[19:28] <mang0> Could anyone walk me through setting up an FTP server? I know next to nothing about it, and I'd like to know more/set one up myself. All the guildes I've looked at online haven't worked...
[19:28] <mang0> !ftp
[19:28] <luist> hey guys… im trying to change the loading logo and i cant run update-initramfs correctly inside the chroot: http://pastie.org/2884835  so the logo only changes when turning off. what am i missing?
[19:28] <mang0> !ftp > mang0
[19:28] <blargg> ActionParsnip, yeah, for interoperability. It's a drive with large files for transfer beween machines.
[19:29] <ActionParsnip> tensorpudding: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-883409-start-0.html
[19:29] <blargg> ActionParsnip, not literally FAT, but a variant (mount says vfat)
[19:29] <llutz> bullgard4: " man Xsession | less -p Xdefaults"    should answer your question. as tensorpudding said, its a Xorg thing and applies to all distros using Xorg
[19:29] <ActionParsnip> blargg: like an Amiga? :-)
[19:29] <bullgard4> tensorpudding: Ah, this is an interpretation that I should think over. Thank you very much for commenting.
[19:31] <ActionParsnip> blargg: is the filesystem fragmented?
[19:31] <blargg> ActionParsnip, no, but I am copying from another partition (at the beginning of the drive) to this one at the end.
[19:31] <K3n5his> lolol
[19:32] <blargg> I just want the system to flush all the buffered writes and block the reading process during this time, rather than interleaving reads during the flush.
[19:33] <blargg> I've tried vm.laptop_mode and adjustments of the various *ratio values.
[19:33] <bullgard4> llutz: Excellent! This answers my question. --  Thank you very much for your help.
[19:37] <xbox360service> hello
[19:37] <mikeliss> I really need some help. I installed the mainline kernel on my desktop, but now I can't get it to boot.
[19:38] <xbox360service> did u install from cd?
[19:38] <mikeliss> No, I had the regular kernel installed and it would occasionally freeze, so I installed the mainline from the deb files that the kernel team provides.
[19:39] <gmcinnes2> Anyone familiar with the lsb/init-functions ?
[19:39] <xbox360service> u shud install from a cd u can inatall to hard drive or run off cd with out a install
[19:39] <luist> hey guys… im trying to change the loading logo and i cant run update-initramfs correctly inside the chroot: http://pastie.org/2884835  so the logo only changes when turning off. what am i missing?
[19:39] <worrow> I'm looking for some onfo on different distros in general.
[19:40] <mikeliss> xbox360service: yeah, I tried that, but I can't get a live cd to boot. Tried using the 64 bit and the 32 bit.
[19:40] <mang0> worrow: #linux
[19:40] <xbox360service> did u fromate?
[19:40] <office3> why won't my ubuntu thumb drive boot this computer? it's brought up initramfs command line. What do I do here?
[19:41] <mang0> How can I use nautilus as an FTP server? CAN I use nautilus as an FTP server? According to !ftp I can?
[19:41] <mikeliss> xbox360service: Ummm, did I what?
[19:41] <mang0> office3: Make sure BIOS is set to boot from "Other" or "USB"
[19:42] <office3> mang0: it is!
[19:42] <xbox360service> can u boot from cd? if not go to bios and set ur 1st boot to cd/dvd rom then save and reboot with cd in
[19:42] <xbox360service> when u boot from cd u can clean the drive or pick what to install
[19:43] <geoffmcc> ActionParsnip: just thought i would let you know, the url you provided for zmbmartin actually gets you to beta version 9 of firefox/thunderbird, not version 8 like article suggests
[19:43] <office3> why won't my ubuntu thumb drive boot this computer? it's brought up initramfs command line. What do I do here?
[19:43] <xbox360service> brb
[19:45] <christian__1> test
[19:45] <abstrakt> is there a way to exclude a certain file or folder while tarballing with tar -cf foo.tar foo/ for example?
[19:46] <mikeliss> xbox360service: No, I can't get the live CD to boot. It crashes when I try.
[19:47] <genii-around> abstrakt: --exclude=<thingname-or-pattern-here>
[19:48] <BinaryMaster> anyone know what package I need to install to get pygraphviz
[19:48] <altf2o> mikeliss: when you say crash, does it just stop and hang like your system did before you installed the new kernel?
[19:48] <sveinse> I'm on a minimal ubuntu system, and are writing some scripts for installation. When doing apt-get install I get   "package1: Depends: package2 but it is not going to be installed". This is caused by a failing dependency in package2" Is there any option I can apt-get in order for it do investiage "package2" so the user can be more properly informed?
[19:49] <mikeliss> altf2o: No, previously, the system would boot, and then within a couple days would crash. Now it just won't boot.
[19:49] <boxybrown> hostname -f, anyone?
[19:49] <mikeliss> altf2o: I tried to get a hold of the reason my system was crashing previously, but couldn't ever find a reliable log.
[19:49] <abstrakt> genii-around, ahh yes i see it in the man page, but...
[19:49] <boxybrown> is network manager still messing this up?
[19:50] <abstrakt> genii-around, how do I specify multiple files... is it an ERE? a BRE? comma separated list?
[19:51] <genii-around> abstrakt: --exclude=file??pattern1  --exclude=file*pattern2           etc
[19:51] <altf2o> ahh ic. I have seen similar symptoms and it ended up being a stick of bad RAM. (As soon as I'd try and address a certain part of it, the whole PC would crash). Do the Ubuntu CD's boot on another system ok? Because if the disks are ok, then you need to most likely start looking at 1) incorrect BIOS configurations, 2) bad hardware.
[19:51] <abstrakt> genii-around, ahh ok so I can use the --exclude flag multiple times
[19:51] <genii-around> abstrakt: Yep
[19:51] <abstrakt> are the patterns globs or are they BRE or what?
[19:52] <mikeliss> altf2o: Hrm, if this is bad RAM, I'm going to feel crazy. But it was working kind of OK before I installed the mainline kernel. I'd love to get it back to that state. After that point, I could work on seeing if this is a RAM issue.
[19:53] <oCean> abstrakt: or use --exclude-from <filename>, where you specify the various patterns in <filename>
[19:54] <abstrakt> oCean, uhh, that still doesn't answer whether the pattern is supposed to be a glob or a BRE or what
[19:54] <oCean> abstrakt: not sure if it's regex, probably just pattern, not sure
[19:54] <abstrakt> oCean, define "just pattern"
[19:54] <abstrakt> glob pattern? like a regular shell expansion?
[19:54] <oCean> abstrakt: that's what I meant, but I'm not sure
[19:55] <mikeliss> altf2o: Holy crap, I just pulled out a RAM stick, and it friggin' booted.
[19:55] <abstrakt> my find man page doesn't say anything about --exclude-from
[19:55] <mikeliss> altf2o: I'm in shock right now.
[19:55] <abstrakt> er... tar man page
[19:55] <oCean> abstrakt: really? mine does
[19:55] <altf2o> sometimes the long shot does pay off, lol.
[19:56] <altf2o> I struggled for 2 days before I tried that. Unfortunately it's usually random, seemingly unrelated symptoms that you end up seeing.
[19:56] <srhb> Does anyone know how to make an Ubuntu live USB stick for Mac -without- using Mac? I have a Mac with neither harddisk nor dvd drive and would like to use it with Ubuntu for now.
[19:56] <mikeliss> altf2o: I'm going to uninstall the mainline kernel then shut it down and run mem test. If that shows a problem, I'm going to have to compensate you somehow.
[19:57] <ozzloy> srhb, i believe the same live disk can be used for macs as for other computers
[19:57] <ozzloy> srhb, so just make a live usb using whatever machine you have that works
[19:57] <bodhi_zazen> srhb: copy the mac live image to usb with dd or any tool you wish, such as unetbootin, or are you wanting to make a custom iso, that would be much more involved
[19:58] <srhb> ozzloy: Unfortunately no, Macs won't boot regular USB images.
[19:58] <altf2o> hehe, not needed, it was a lucky guess due to similar sounding symptoms. Yes I would definitely toss it back in and run memtest CD on it. Mine tested obviously corrupt, thankfully it was just one stick.
[19:58] <ozzloy> srhb, oh, nevermind then
[19:58] <srhb> bodhi_zazen: No, that won't work, Macs don't seem to boot the standard images.
[19:58] <bodhi_zazen> Why not ?
[19:59] <srhb> bodhi_zazen: I'm not an expert, but it has to do with the way the Mac boots. It needs a HFS partition or something.
[19:59] <bodhi_zazen> What live iso is there for a mac ?
[19:59] <bodhi_zazen> srhb: so you want to install Ubuntu into a USB that then boots on a mac, but you are not using a mac and you do not know how it boots ?
[19:59] <Jonii> Hey, what's the stuff that's run on login, what makes all the programs that do run, run on the startup, where do they exist, where is all that listed? I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 Unity
[20:00] <srhb> bodhi_zazen: That's the gist of it, hence why I'm looking for a guide.
[20:00] <lokidervish> o.O
[20:00] <bodhi_zazen> srhb: google is going to be your best bet, that sort of information is going to be very specialized
[20:01] <srhb> bodhi_zazen: It is, and I've had no luck on Google so far. All solutions need another Mac in order to make the USB bootable on Macs. Ah well.
[20:01] <bodhi_zazen> srhb: you can look at this : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomizationFromScratch
[20:02] <G-H0ST> Hi fellas, i have a... tiny problem :D
[20:02] <bodhi_zazen> you will need to understand the mac boot process, once you do that it should be easy, but I do not know
[20:02] <srhb> bodhi_zazen: Thanks, but it has no relelvant information.
[20:02] <srhb> Spot on. :P
[20:02] <bowo> How To, install ruby1.9 and earthquake Twitter Client Based Terminal
[20:02] <G-H0ST> how can i put my wifi card, which is usually getting between ETH0 and ETH1 to wlan0, if it isn't yet...
[20:02] <ssta> srhb: look at the hackintosh sites.  They have tweaked bootloaders for MAC that can boot USB
[20:03] <srhb> ssta: Hm thanks, I hadn't thought of that
[20:03] <G-H0ST> so example, lspci says its intel pro/wireless, blablabla. how to assign it to WLAN0?
[20:03] <bodhi_zazen> srhb: if that link is not relevant, you are probably out of luck
[20:03] <srhb> bodhi_zazen: I'm slowly coming to that conclusion as well. I love my Mac, but that it won't boot regularly from USB is just ridiculous.
[20:04] <PyTest> fun
[20:04] <ssta> get a refund on the MAC and buy 4 PCs with the money :)
[20:04] <bowo> great
[20:04] <srhb> ssta: Thanks, but that's not helping :)
[20:04] <PyTest> wow
[20:04] <G-H0ST> mac ftw, if you dont like it, give it off to me with lion on it *.*
[20:04] <bowo> hahahahaha :)
[20:04] <bowo> using hackintosh?
[20:04] <xruud> How can I fix having to fill in my password twice?
[20:05] <ssta> xruud: "fix"?
[20:05] <bodhi_zazen> srhb: I do not use your hardware at all, but I think you need to learn the internals of a live iso , which requires a ton of reading, and you find irrelevant, so you are stuck
[20:05] <bowo> exit > sleep bye all
[20:05] <xruud> ssta: is it normal that you fill in your password at any prompt twice?
[20:05] <G-H0ST> noone? :(
[20:05] <Jonii> Also, for what reason does my Ubuntu 11.10 crash pretty much always when I try to log out one user and then log in as another
[20:05] <ssta> xruud: only when you're changing it...
[20:06] <xruud> ssta: see, fix...
[20:06] <srhb> bodhi_zazen: I am quite familiar with Live ISOs and rolling my own - the trouble here is making the Mac actually boot from USB. The article you linked has no information on the topic, hence the comment about it being irrelevant - sorry for being vague.
[20:06] <donavan01> anyone know if there is some magic dance or sacrifice I have to preform to steve to get an old G5 PPC Mac Pro tower to install Ubuntu?
[20:06] <srhb> Boot UBUNTU from USB, I should say.
[20:06] <^jt> hi, is there a user version/equivelent of the init.d folder. Also, just to check this is actually what i'm looking for: any -x script put into the init.d folder will be run on startup?
[20:07] <brontosaurusrex> donavan01, i think ppc is not officialy supported
[20:07] <ssta> srhb: it should be able to boot USB already (you know you need a GUID partition type?)
[20:08] <srhb> ssta: No, but that's the kind of information I need. Can you point me in the direction of making that via Linux or Windows?
[20:08] <G-H0ST> dmesg returns me with [ 75.somenumber] [DRM:Intel_prepare_page_flip] *ERROR* prepared flip multiple times
[20:08] <G-H0ST> wth?!
[20:09] <donavan01> brontosaurusrex its not officaly support but its part of the community support and its still being developed
[20:09] <xruud> Is there any way to check what ubuntu is doing when I fill in my password? I have to enter it twice, everywhere. Something miust be wrong the first time
[20:09] <reise6> Is there a way to require root password to open a file by editing /etc/sudoers?
[20:09] <ssta> srhb: I think the tool to do it in Ubuntu is called "gdisk".  I've never had to though.  I imagine a google for something like "GUID partition create ubuntu" or soemthing might help
[20:10] <srhb> ssta: Thanks. :)
[20:11] <altf2o> reise6: not sure if this is what you want, but you can always change the owner/group of the file to root:root (chown root:root <file>, chmod 0700 <file>) and only people who have 'sudo' permissions can edit/view it.
[20:12] <reise6> altf2o: Good idea. Thanks!
[20:13] <hilarie> through cli how can you check your system load?
[20:13] <ssta> "uptime"
[20:14] <hilarie> woot uptime 3m :) ty
[20:14] <bodhi_zazen> srhb: OK, well you need to learn how a mac boots
[20:14] <bodhi_zazen> I assume they can boot a CD, so it is possible
[20:14] <bodhi_zazen> You then incorporate that technology into your usb
[20:14] <srhb> bodhi_zazen: The way they boot from cds is apparently not the same way they boot from USB. I'm looking into it now, got some pointers from ssta. Thanks. :)
[20:15] <bodhi_zazen> which usually involves extracting the iso, making changes as necessary, and then re-packaging
[20:15] <bodhi_zazen> yea, you need to look at the internals of the boot process
[20:16] <Fodi69> hi, my ubuntu 11.10 can't find "easycrypt" in the software center, it is visible in the list when I search for it, but when I click it, it says that there is no such software in my current software sources??
[20:16] <zmbmartin> why is there a ppa for thunderbird 8 (thunderbird-stable) that works on 11.04 but not for 11.10?
[20:17] <ssta> iso is somewhat different.  iso as a format has a boot image that's loaded.  It's not the same as a disk, where there are two main (and a fair number of fringe) possibilities.  GUID and MBR.  (unhacked) MAC can only boot GUID I believe.
[20:17] <troll> hey guys i have some problems with my ubuntu
[20:17] <Guest50757> first: why cant i kill transmission (does not even work with kll -9)
[20:18] <charles> it's magic
[20:18] <charles> Guest50757: did it become unkillable / unresponsive at the beginning of a download, by any chance?
[20:18] <Guest50757> charles yes exactly
[20:19] <Fodi69> hi, my ubuntu 11.10 can't find "easycrypt" in the software center, when I search for it: it is visible in the list, but when I click it: it says that there is no such software in my current software sources!
[20:20] <somefreename> better name
[20:20] <inashdeen> is there a way to change /etc/lsb-release safely without breaking the system
[20:20] <somefreename> charles do i need a hammer to solve it?
[20:20] <xangua> inashdeen: what exactly did/want to do¿
[20:21] <Fodi69> hi, my ubuntu 11.10 can't find "easycrypt" in the software center, when I search for it: it is visible in the list, but when I click it: it says that there is no such software in my current software sources!
[20:21] <hilarie> I am setting up samba on my server and     create mask = 0755 is chmod stuff right? how do I make it so anyone can create/edit/read files?
[20:21] <inashdeen> xangua: i am building my own customize OS. see www.revamplinux.blogpsot.com  .  a user report a bug related to this conflict
[20:21] <G-H0ST> how do i reset gnome shell already?
[20:21] <G-H0ST> ctrl shift alt backspace?
[20:21] <xangua> inashdeen: i suggest you ##linux then
[20:21] <ssta> hilarie: no.  A mask is the permissions you do NOT want to be set
[20:21] <hilarie> G-host control alt delete
[20:22] <hilarie> ssta :O
[20:22] <G-H0ST> hilarie, thanks...
[20:22] <inashdeen> xangua: it is from ubuntu, so why should i go there?
[20:22] <hilarie> g-host log out shuts down gnome shell :)
[20:24] <joansirley> hello friends

[20:24] <Untouchab1e_> Trying to install Ubuntu 11.04 but my bluetooth keyboard and mouse are not detected, making installation somewhat difficult.. any way around this?
[20:24] <hilarie> I get that all the time :)
[20:25] <hilarie> Untouchable_ if you can use a non bt mouse and keyboard for install, your life will be much easier
[20:25] <Jonii> Hey, I'm thinking of making as sterile browsing user on my laptop as possible. No history, no cookies, nothing but a browser and a text editor, as clean and simple as possible
[20:25] <Untouchab1e_> hilarie: I know, but sadly, I left my wired mouse at work and I dont have a wired keyboard lying around :(
[20:26] <Jonii> Are there any guides for that?
[20:26] <inashdeen> bump
[20:26] <Jonii> There's really no purpose for doing that other than, you know, seeing how it's done, how practical it is, and then taking those lessons and doing something else with that
[20:26] <hilarie> Untouchable_ I seem to remember reading instructions for installing a headless server using no keyboard, then you could SSH in, find your bt drivers, and install ubuntu desktop
[20:27] <joansirley> i would like someone to explain me how can I limit the autoconnect option of my wireless network. I don't want my wireless adapter to search other network I just want to connect to mine
[20:27] <inashdeen> my lightdm shutdown button turns horrible for unknown reason. the overall theme is ok, only the shutdown button got problem. is there a way to fix that>
[20:27] <Untouchab1e_> hilarie: hmm, Im just thinking hard and Im convinced that when I installed 11.04 on this box, I used my bluetooth keyboard/mouse
[20:27] <rhizmoe> is there a way to prevent shotwell from running every time i plug my phone in?
[20:27] <Untouchab1e_> hilarie: maybe I used the alternate installer?
[20:28] <rhizmoe> i mean, of course there is. but the setting's location is obscure.
[20:28] <hilarie> Untouchable_ Possible retarded solution: Have you tried resetting it and seeing if it gets noticed after awhile, this worked for my wireless keyboard and mouse
[20:28] <Untouchab1e_> hilarie: resetting what exactly?
[20:28] <hilarie> the installer until it gets noticed, are you able to mess around with the bios with bt keyboard?
[20:29] <wiesshund> DOes 11.04 still install the unity interface?
[20:29] <joansirley> wiesshund
[20:29] <Untouchab1e_> hilarie: the BIOS and everything else works fine with my keyboard/mouse
[20:29] <hilarie> wiesshund it does, but you can go into classic :)
[20:29] <Untouchab1e_> its just the 11.10 install that fails to detect

[20:33] <TK5791> can anyone help me download and run Skype?
[20:33] <zykotick9> rhizmoe, nautilus / edit / preferences / media tab
[20:33] <Untouchab1e_> TK5791: open the software center and search for skype
[20:33] <Untouchab1e_> easy as pie
[20:33] <TK5791> where is the software center?
[20:33] <born> joansirley well mine is freezeing, occupieing the cpu and unkillable => not working for me
[20:33] <office3> the thumbdrive I'm trying to boot from says (initramfs) mount: mounting aufs on /root failed: No space left on device aufs mount failed.
[20:33] <TK5791> sorry this is all very new to me
[20:33] <born> is there any command line bug free client?
[20:34] <joansirley> ok born
[20:34] <brontosaurusrex> born, rtorrent
[20:34] <born> TK5791 just press the windows key and enter "software center"
[20:34] <rhizmoe> zykotick9: yeesh, that is non-obvious.
[20:34] <TK5791> thanks born
[20:34] <LemonAid> Hello. I`m having a bit of trouble with youtube-dl. When i try to convert a video to any format i get "WARNING: unable to obtain file audio codec with ffprobe".  I`ve done some looking on the web, and they say the problem is fixed. (?) Sorry if it isn`t the place to ask, feel free to redirect me if you think it`s apropriate.
[20:35] <joansirley> born....synaptic there is plenty of bittorrent client...azureus
[20:35] <TK5791> found it... entered Skype, all I get is an unhappy smile
[20:35] <rhizmoe> zykotick9: appears to be gnome3 only
[20:35] <rhizmoe> (i'm in gnome-classic, sorry)
[20:35] <jordan> born: are you the same person who was here a minute ago saying that Transmission froze as soon as it starting downloading, yes?
[20:35] <xangua> !partner
[20:35] <xangua> need to enable partner first TK5791 or just go to skype.com
[20:35] <rhizmoe> or whatever gnome-shell gets you
[20:35] <ssta> TK5791: skype is in the partner repository...not enabled by default
[20:35] <zykotick9> rhizmoe, sorry - i don't use gnome3 so not sure about it at all.  my bad.
[20:35] <office3> the thumbdrive I'm trying to boot from says (initramfs) mount: mounting aufs on /root failed: No space left on device aufs mount failed.
[20:36] <rhizmoe> oh, maybe it's gnome2, then :)
[20:36] <rhizmoe> gnome-classic is in between them, apparently
[20:36] <TK5791> hey guys, loving this help... but what is the repository?
[20:36] <rhizmoe> featurewise, i should say
[20:36] <brontosaurusrex> !repository
[20:37] <highness> Hello. Was just curious. I made some updates yesterday (not entirely sure which updates though) and today my screen flickers and almost as if showing scanlines across my screen. Does anybody here know what might be wrong?
[20:37] <rhizmoe> ugh, i simply need to reinstall to 10.10
[20:37] <highness> Running an Nvidia Go 7600
[20:37] <jordan> born: what version of Transmission are you using, and what's the filesystem of the disk that you're downloading onto?
[20:37] <blaBlub> hi
[20:37] <TK5791> ubotto - thanks
[20:37] <rhizmoe> enough of this crap
[20:37] <TK5791> I'll take a look.
[20:37] <born> TK5791 its where you download software from... you just checked the official ubuntu software and skype is third party
[20:37] <blaBlub> I am facing problems with power management and fan control of my gfx
[20:38] <born> jordan im useing the ppa release 2.4 i think
[20:38] <TK5791> i've tried downloading direct from the skype site but but I was getting an internal error message
[20:38] <blaBlub> Has anyone a idea...?
[20:38] <inashdeen> if anyone dont mind, can someone teach me how to register to ##Linux, and please, dont give me the RTFM. i am like super noob and dont understand the manual a bit. thank you
[20:38] <xangua> !register | inashdeen
[20:38] <afk_>  /leave
[20:39] <brontosaurusrex> inashdeen, /nickserv help
[20:39] <born> TK5791 click at the software center then up ur screen there should edit apear
[20:40] <hilarie> what mask should I use https://help.ubuntu.com/11.10/serverguide/C/samba-fileserver.html says 0755 but I want people connecting to be able to do anything to the samba share,
[20:40] <born> TK5791 you have to press edit => software sources and check ubuntu partners
[20:41] <hilarie> or is it the permissions that the file has on the server, so it doesn't really matter?
[20:41] <brontosaurusrex> hilarie, 755 is everything minus execute
[20:41] <bekks> brontosaurusrex: Ermm. No.
[20:41] <ssta> umm, it's everything except write for group and other
[20:41] <brontosaurusrex> bekks, what else?
[20:42] <bekks> 7 = 1 + 2 + 4, 5 = 1 + 4. 7 = rwx, 5 = r-x ...
[20:42] <hilarie> This is on my home network, I want me and my roomate to be able to use this share/drive like it was connected to our own computers
[20:42] <Adriannom> cat 1, laptop 0
[20:42] <jordan> born: what's probably happing is transmission is waiting on your filesystem to preallocate all the files for the content you're downloading
[20:42] <jordan> born: what filesystem are you using?
[20:42] <brontosaurusrex> hilarie, ups, was totally wrong
[20:42] <jordan> born: on ext3 and ext4 this should be nearly instantaneous
[20:43] <born> jordan i dont realy care what transmission fails... i try it with rtorrent now
[20:43] <hilarie> is 666 what I am looking for?
[20:43] <hilarie> http://www.zzee.com/solutions/unix-permissions.shtml
[20:43] <bekks> hilarie: What are you looking for? :)
[20:43] <Agent[99]> xxx
[20:44] <hilarie> for me and my roomate to be able to use this drive like it was our own
[20:44] <Chees_BHW> hi. where can i find the log of postfix? its not in /var/log
[20:44] <jordan> born: ok, hope you find something that works for you
[20:44] <hilarie> want to both be able to read and write
[20:44] <bekks> hilarie: Then you want a umask of 0777 for your share.
[20:44] <Agent[99]> try school
[20:44] <jodlajodla> hello, i have some questions for vftpd -> how to limit users to only one directory and give them permissions for uploading file in this directory?
[20:44] <hilarie> thanks bekks
[20:44] <bekks> You want to be able to execute files from there, too.
[20:44] <born> TK5791 tk press windows key and enter software sources.... there you have to check "third party software" and "partners" after that skype should be there
[20:44] <joansirley> just to help you can ADD pidgin-skype to pidgin from synaptic or whatever
[20:45] <hilarie> well bekks, neither computer this is shared with is going to be unix, and its a ntfs partition, so I think, the execute part doesn't so much matter,
[20:45] <TK5791> thank you born... just trying to read up about Repos
[20:45] <bekks> hilarie: Well, without x, you cannot execute files from there - not even linux executables.
[20:46] <bekks> Ok, there is a trick to do so ;)
[20:46] <z3r0c007> hello
[20:46] <joansirley> well people I quit see you soon ...you're very inspiring
[20:46] <z3r0c007> how to convert doc files to pdf files
[20:46] <Amoz> z3r0c007, open them with libreoffice and export/save them as PDF
[20:46] <brontosaurusrex> z3r0c007, libreoffice
[20:46] <bekks> z3r0c007: By using libre/open-office and convert them.
[20:47] <llutz> z3r0c007: http://kgsspot.blogspot.com/2011/09/convert-doc-to-pdf-in-command-line.html
[20:47] <hilarie> someone needs to make a package to rename libreoffice to its proper name, the new one freaks me out
[20:47] <z3r0c007> ok thanks

[20:48] <Chees_BHW> hi. where can i find the log of postfix? its not in /var/log ?
[20:48] <born> TK5791 you do not realy need to read that stuff
[20:49] <TK5791> bekks... seriously... would you prefer that I use the full spelling?
[20:49] <xruud> I guess I'm having a problem no-one here knows how to solve. Even though it is not just me having it
[20:49] <geoffmcc> !language |TK5791
[20:49] <hilarie> TK5791 Swear goddamnit! or you know, take a deep breath, and explain whats going on so maybe you can get some help

[20:49] <born> TK5791 lets do it step by step... do you find the software center?
[20:50] <bekks> TK5791: No. I just want to understand whats your problem with what exactly. Just describe it in detail, then someone can help you maybe.
[20:50] <TK5791> so, how do I turn off the Authentication when I don't have a password active?
[20:50] <office3> What do I do?
[20:50] <office3> the thumbdrive I'm trying to boot from says (initramfs) mount: mounting aufs on /root failed: No space left on device aufs mount failed.

[20:51] <inashdeen> is there a way to change description on /etc/lsb-release safely
[20:51] <Agent[99]> !torrents
[20:51] <bekks> TK5791: You have to have an active password, and then you can turn the authentication off.
[20:51] <TK5791> how do I get myself an active password?
[20:51] <Agent[99]> sharing is carrying
[20:51] <Agent[99]> or in this case seeding
[20:52] <bekks> TK5791: You cannot login without an deactivated password ;)
[20:52] <blaBlub> My gfx card's fan-speed is driving my crazy....
[20:52] <TK5791> ?
[20:52] <blaBlub> I need help, please...
[20:52] <Agent[99]> help your self
[20:53] <office3> I'm going to remake my boot thumbdrive with unetbootin, any tips?
[20:53] <born> TK5791 im not quite sure what you mean but try windows key + user accounts
[20:53] <TK5791> ok... so I have no password... without a password I can't create a password... what gives?
[20:53] <Agent[99]> fell free to fix it
[20:53] <brandon_> Anybody know where I can find a more detailed manual for XChat-GNOME IRC? The manual that comes with the program doesn't say much about CLI features.
[20:53] <Chees_BHW> hi. where can i find the log of postfix? its not in /var/log ???
[20:53] <ssta> how do you have "no password"?
[20:53] <bekks> TK5791: How do you know you have a deactivated password?
[20:53] <blaBlub> When it has speed up, the speed never lowers... Newest driver installed..
[20:53] <born> Tk5791 im quite sure you have a password? you mean your userpassword or the root password?
[20:54] <Fanda> My Ubuntu 11.10 don't load after GRUB loading, I see only a black screen. Can anybody help me?
[20:54] <TK5791> when I login to the user accounts... password field = none
[20:54] <genii-around> Chees_BHW: /var/log/mail.log usually
[20:54] <blaBlub> Anyone has faced problems with fan speed  of gfx card in ubuntu
[20:54] <bekks> TK5791: "login to the user accounts" means what exactly?
[20:54] <geoffmcc> Chees_BHW: quick google search of postix log file + ubuntu says /var/log/mail.log
[20:54] <TK5791> don't know Root password... I'm only aware of user password
[20:54] <blaBlub> Agent[99], how do I fix it?
[20:54] <TK5791> User Account=
[20:54] <Amoz> TK5791, in ubuntu, the root account doesn't have a password. It's disabled by default
[20:55] <bekks> TK5791: And a not shown password doesnt mean it is a) deactivated or b) not set. It isnt shown. It cannot be shown since all that is stored is the hash of the password.
[20:55] <bekks> Amoz: Wrong.
[20:55] <Agent[99]> !gfx drivers
[20:55] <genii-around> blaBlub: Is it an nvidia?
[20:55] <TK5791> Login Options... Password None
[20:55] <bekks> Amoz: the root password isnt disabled, but just not set.
[20:55] <linds6630> Can someone tell me which of these packages that updated would be a likely culprit for killing compositing? http://pastebin.com/JF2hBCvD - i made it easier to read than the log does.
[20:55] <blaBlub> genii-around, Yes Nvida 450 gtx
[20:55] <TK5791> don't know what this Root Password is
[20:55] <Amoz> bekks, ah, sorry
[20:55] <bekks> Amoz: And a password being not set prevents you from login in.
[20:56] <bekks> TK5791: Read what I wrote seconds ago.
[20:56] <born> Tk5791 you still had to enter a password when you set up ur ubuntu
[20:56] <genii-around> !info nvclock | blaBlub .. this is also for setting fan speed
[20:56] <blaBlub> !gfx drivers
[20:56] <ssta> bekks: well, technically it is set...to an impossible value... "!"
[20:57] <TK5791> I know... but I don't like passwords when I'm the only one using the comp
[20:57] <usr13_> linds6630:  killing compositing?
[20:57] <Fanda> My Ubuntu 11.10 don't load after GRUB loading, I see only a black screen. Can anybody help me?
[20:57] <bekks> TK5791: Then enable autologin.
[20:57] <blaBlub> genii-around, Yes but that don't seems to work
[20:57] <TK5791> the original password was removed with none because I choose auto login
[20:57] <bekks> The password isnt removed.
[20:57] <bekks> TK5791: Autologin is just enabled.
[20:57] <blaBlub> genii-around,  It's very old software, too
[20:57] <cgtdk> Why doesn't Firefox update to version 8? I thought they were going to update the repositories with every new version because of Firefox' new release schedule.
[20:58] <geoffmcc> TK5791: even though u enabled autologin, the password you selected is still the password to sudo
[20:58] <TK5791> Bekks... Password = None
[20:58] <linds6630> i get composite sync error when trying to use gnome shell usr13_
[20:58] <born> TK5791 the password is still in use for many things for example to encrypt your other passwords when you check "auto login" on msn
[20:58] <usr13_> TK5791: So you have forgotten your password.  Right?
[20:58] <TK5791> no... I know the old password but it doesn't work
[20:59] <bekks> TK5791: "doesnt work" means "I forgot the new one".
[20:59] <TK5791> seriously I haven't a password that I didn't create
[21:00] <geoffmcc> TK5791: are you locked out, can you not run passwd and change?
[21:00] <rodrigo> oi
[21:00] <usr13_> !password | TK5791
[21:00] <born> TK5791 are you sure you are remembering the right password? where are you trying to enter it?
[21:01] <TK5791> I click on none... it takes me to password... I type in old password and new password and the box to click for change is greyed out
[21:01] <boxybrown> hey guys, how do I get my fqdn working correctly when using network-manager
[21:02] <usr13_> TK5791: Are you logged in as the original (first) user?
[21:02] <ssta> "click on none" where?
[21:02] <TK5791> yes
[21:02] <TK5791> password none
[21:02] <boxybrown> hostname -f won't give my fqdn because of the way network-manager edits /etc/hosts
[21:02] <usr13_> TK5791: Or have you added a new user to the system? (Second user account.)
[21:02] <ssta> TK5791: where?
[21:02] <TK5791> user accounts
[21:02] <TK5791> no second user
[21:03] <geoffmcc> TK5791: Are you trying to change the password of the user you are currently logged in as?
[21:03] <Koolvin> Hey, I have intel pentium e5700, it's a 64bit processor, would I dl x86 or 64bit
[21:04] <askhader> Koolvin: Relly?
[21:04] <askhader> Really*
[21:04] <askhader> You can't guess?
[21:04] <askhader> 64 bit
[21:04] <Koolvin> Right
[21:04] <askhader> But x86 will work.
[21:04] <FloodBot1> askhader: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:04] <PyTest> fun
[21:04] <Koolvin> Intel is all wacky with their instruction sets.
[21:04] <TK5791> I'm trying to create a password so I can close down the authentication popup
[21:04] <ssta> TK5791: did you enter the new password twice?
[21:04] <TK5791> yes
[21:05] <santanuc> 1
[21:06] <rduplain> anyone know if you can list a package's license with dpkg or an apt tool?
[21:07] <ssta> TK5791: does it say "too short" for the new password?  if it won't accept the new password as valid, it won't let you change
[21:07] <fedcab> Can someone please tell me how to reset defective (user specific) settings preventing unity to start? I get no window manager after I obviously messed up my settings by installing gnome. Or at least can someone tell me where unity logs error reports?
[21:07] <TK5791> the change box is greyed out
[21:07] <TK5791> it won't even attempt to change the password
[21:07] <geoffmcc> TK5791: what pop up, like when your trying to install something but need more privliges
[21:07] <TK5791> geoffmcc = yes
