[18:24] <Hormonal> Its no use... :S
[18:24] <soreau> samitheberber: Sounds like a driver issue
[18:24] <sammmy> Are there settings for the trackpad in the gconf?
[18:24] <xxmmaann> ????
[18:24] <SeanB94> how would i edit the file i forget the command dr_willis
[18:25] <soreau> samitheberber: Look in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[18:25] <bampersand> thanks maredebianum
[18:25] <soreau> gah
[18:25] <soreau> sammmy: Look in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[18:25] <soreau> Hormonal: You'll likely have to disassemble the unit
[18:26] <Mitchell> dr_willis so the 64 bit alternate installer should work?
[18:26] <soreau> sammmy: The settings can probably be setup from xorg.conf Input section, but if it doesn't justwork, its likely a bug in the device driver module for your trackpad
[18:26] <w30> Hormonal, If you are steady, put a bit of solder on a soldering iron and touch it to the broken piece as it is cooling off and then hopefully it is stuck.
[18:26] <Mitchell> its a Core i5 with 6GB of RAM and a 700GB HD.
[18:26] <sammmy> soreau: what am I looking for in this log file?
[18:27] <soreau> sammmy: Anything interesting :)
[18:27] <soreau> WRT your issue
[18:27] <ahsan> i am on 32 bit xp. Do i need to download i386 or amd64?
[18:27] <soreau> Hormonal: Hey, w30's thinking outside of the box ;)
[18:27] <sammmy> I'm looking for some sort of a setting that speeds up my trackpad's click response
[18:27] <Hormonal> I was thinking about super glue but that sounds better. :D
[18:28] <xxmmaann> can you help me ?
[18:28] <soreau> ! help | xxmmaann
[18:28] <w30> soreau, it's an old welders trick :=)
[18:28] <BluesKaj> Mitchell, yes it should work , the i5 Core has an issue beingrecognized by the live cd insome cases
[18:28] <polygon-pusher> 1500+ wow!  :O
[18:28] <sammmy> soreau: what does a log file have to do with my issue? :\
[18:28] <xxmmaann> i have a problem with my webcam  --- sometimes when i open webcam with gyache (yahoo messenger for linux) or other program i need to restart to get my webcam work
[18:29] <soreau> w30: I didn't even think of it but it sounds like it could work
[18:29] <WeThePeople> looking for a .RA to MP3 converter
[18:29] <aricz> Hormonal, what happened? Connector ripped off? Solder and it should work :)
[18:29] <Hormonal> "sighs" I'm going to try to extract it. If I it works I'm coming back to give you guys credits. XD
[18:29] <polygon-pusher> <- noob Q: how to add simple Copy-paste in the shell
[18:29] <soreau> sammmy: X is the one that configures the device. If it's not a driver problem but a configuration one, you should be able to set it up in xorg.conf
[18:29] <ohzie> xxmmaann: i have noticed that sometimes when I use my webcam the left USB ports on my laptop+my webcam crash, because they are all on that usb controller.
[18:29] <Hormonal> Jack broke in the connector. XD
[18:29] <ohzie> xxmmaann: what kind of laptop do you have?
[18:29] <aricz> Hormpnal, done it many times, easy peasy :)
[18:29] <Hormonal> will try
[18:30] <Hormonal> talk with you all later
[18:30] <aricz> Hormonal, you will make it hehe..

[18:35] <tham> WeThePeople, Did you try SoundConverter?
[18:35] <IdleOne> xxmmaann: try unplugging and replugging the camera when that happens
[18:35] <WeThePeople> tham, yes
[18:35] <soreau> xxmmaann: Sounds like it could be a problem with your webcam driver initialization routine </guess>

[18:36] <tham> How can I get multidimensional workspaces in Ubuntu? I mean 2 rows and 2 columns.

[18:36] <oCean> unclemantis: yours means 1 minute-after-every-hour
[18:36] <xxmmaann> i ll try
[18:37] <soreau> SeanB94: What command gives you that?
[18:37] <maredebianum> SeanB94:  how is drive mounted? ro?
[18:37] <RenatoSilva> I'm on Natty. Can I safely remove these broken links? http://pastie.org/2121402
[18:37] <SeanB94> when i go and use nano
[18:37] <SeanB94> it is a laptop
[18:37] <dr_willis> SeanB94,  to edit system files you woukld need 'sudo nano'
[18:37] <SeanB94> ok
[18:39] <SeanB94> sean@ubuntu:~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
[18:39] <SeanB94> dpkg: parse error, in file '/var/lib/dpkg/updates/0127' near line 0: newline in field name `#padding'
[18:39] <SeanB94> same thing after i fixed the final padding
[18:39] <dr_willis> why are you doing a dpkg --configure -a anyway ?
[18:39] <soreau> dr_willis: Because apt-get tells him to
[18:39] <xxmmaann> error > libv4l2: error setting pixformat: Device or resource busy
[18:39] <xxmmaann> :-D
[18:39] <SeanB94> package manager says to  also
[18:39] <dr_willis> SeanB94,  copy the file to a differnt name, then edit the file and delete all the padding lines.. except the top one.
[18:39] <mayko> I have my home folder on a separate partition and I am trying to have it mounted automatically but I can't seem to get it working, despite fstab editting. halp? <3
[18:40] <xxmmaann> any ideas?
[18:40] <SeanB94> ok
[18:40] <dr_willis> i wonder if the file shouldent be #padding on a single line.. No blank lines after it..
[18:40] <RenatoSilva> I'm on Natty. Can I safely remove these broken links? http://pastie.org/2121402
[18:40] <soreau> mayko: You should be able to do it with fstab.. what entry do you have there?
[18:40] <RenatoSilva> Can I safely remove these broken links? http://pastie.org/2121402
[18:41] <soreau> ! repeat | RenatoSilva
[18:41] <unclemantis> oCean ok then how do i make it so that it is every minute
[18:41] <steve558> I need help.  I have FF 4.0 and the site I need to access can only handle 3.6 or IE8.  How do I fix the problem?
[18:41] <ispiked> I have somehow lost the 'search apps' and 'search files' icons from my unity menu. how can I re-add them?
[18:41] <RenatoSilva> soreau: accident
[18:41] <mayko> soreau: UUID=f6fb50fc-6709-47be-beeb-f1448e8a42ff /home 	reiserfs defaults       0       2
[18:41] <ispiked> steve558: there is an extension for FF called user-agent swticher
[18:41] <tham> How can I get make the workspaces in Ubuntu to display in 2 rows and 2 columns, instead of four on the same row?
[18:41] <dr_willis> ispiked,  unity --reset-icons   is one way
[18:41] <soreau> RenatoSilva: You can't remove those files because they don't exist
[18:41] <Fopp> Hello! Right now I am running an ubuntu live disc on a machine also runnign windows XP. I wish to dual boot the two, but am not given the option to install ubuntu alongside XP. Any suggestions?  Thanks
[18:41] <RenatoSilva> soreau: the links
[18:42] <soreau> mayko: Try /dev/sd(whatever home is) instead of UUID
[18:42] <soreau> RenatoSilva: What links?
[18:42] <sammmy> soreau: where's xorg.conf?
[18:42] <RenatoSilva> soreau:  Can I safely remove these broken *****links*****? http://pastie.org/2121402
[18:42] <dr_willis> tham,  using normal gnome? or unity?
[18:42] <mirco246> hey hooo from Germany!
[18:42] <mayko> soreau: I'll give it a shot
[18:42] <tham> dr_willis, unity
[18:42] <ispiked> steve558: that extension will allow you to 'fake' being FF 3
[18:42] <steve558> ispiked: I tried that.  I installed it and told it that it was FF3.6 or IE8.  Didn't fool it.  I must admit that the error message talks of an SSL problem
[18:42] <RenatoSilva> soreau: #grep -r something /etc, sense?
[18:42] <leo_> mirco246 : hey hoo from france
[18:43] <dr_willis> unity is defaulted to  2x2 here tham.  i think.. it crashes for me so much i rarely touch it.
[18:43] <soreau> sammmy: It's stored in /etc/X11/ though recent versions of X are smart enough to guess what configuration is needed so no xorg.conf is installed by default
[18:43] <steve558> ispiked: I made it say it was FF3
[18:43] <dr_willis> tham,  the ccsm tool has settings for the # of workspaces
[18:43] <ispiked> steve558: hmm... you could try another browser like Chome
[18:43] <dr_willis> !ccsm | tham
[18:43] <RenatoSilva> soreau: they're all links, as confirmed with 2, or what else would any of them be?
[18:43] <RenatoSilva> soreau: since I'm **grepping**
[18:43] <RenatoSilva> soreau: since I'm **-r grepping**
[18:43] <tham> dr_willis, I couldn't find the setting in ccsm. Dyu know where exactly that is?
[18:43] <Mitchell> dr_willis I'm about to try the alternate installer.
[18:44] <dr_willis> tham,  general tab i belive
[18:44] <SeanB94> i still get that problem after deleting all but the top line of #padding
[18:44] <soreau> tham: ccsm>General Options>Desktop Size
[18:44] <sammmy> soreau: so I just create a text file called xorg.conf in /etc/X11
[18:44] <sammmy> ?
[18:44] <dr_willis> tham,  unity needs Xx2 i think for its # of desktops
[18:44] <steve558> ispiked: Tried Opera, Chrome, and even Arora
[18:44] <soreau> sammmy: Yes, if the file exists, the settings will be respected if it can parse it
[18:44] <dr_willis> SeanB94,  try removeing the whole file yet? rename it somewhere
[18:44] <soreau> dr_willis: Why?
[18:45] <dr_willis> soreau,  its sime limit of unity i hear..
[18:45] <soreau> dr_willis: unity sucks :)
[18:45] <steve558> ispiked: Even tried Sea Monkey
[18:45] <dr_willis> it gets confused with like 1x5
[18:45] <dr_willis> Unity has gfx issues here.
[18:45] <soreau> meh, what a POS
[18:45] <tham> dr_willis, soreau, It's set to 2 rows, but still the desktops are displayed in one row. However when I press Super+E they display in 2 rows :S Any idea?
[18:45] <SeanB94> i have the original  file copyed in a folder renamed
[18:45] <dr_willis> tham,  displayed in 1 row where?
[18:45] <unclemantis> so this would run once a minute? * * * * * /usr/bin/env ruby
[18:46] <soreau> tham: Yea, what he said
[18:46] <oCean_> unclemantis: yes
[18:46] <unclemantis> well it is not LOL
[18:46] <soreau> unclemantis: You have to wait
[18:46] <unclemantis> which means i probably have a permissions issue
[18:46] <SeanB94> i have the original  file copyed in a folder renamed  dr_willis
[18:46] <soreau> unclemantis: It may not start till about 3-5 minutes
[18:46] <unclemantis> oCean_ I waited over a minute
[18:46] <xxmmaann> can i write a script for webcam RE-initialization ?
[18:46] <unclemantis> soreau ok
[18:46] <unclemantis> :)
[18:46] <unclemantis> i will wait, thanks :)
[18:46] <xxmmaann> ;-)
[18:46] <oCean> xxmmaann: it seems you have hit a bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libv4l/+bug/571539
[18:46] <dr_willis> whats the point of running just ruby once a min? whats it supposed to do?
[18:47] <soreau> xxmmaann: Sure, just have it reload the module
[18:47] <tham> dr_willis, soreau, When I change workspaces using Ctrl+Alt+arrow keys, they can be traversed only in left and right directions
[18:47] <soreau> tham: Ah.. do you have cube enabled then?
[18:47] <Mitchell> dr_willis is it possible that Samsung does something to the hardware to prevent you from installing linux on their newer laptops? The laptop is about 3 weeks old if that.
[18:47] <rhin0> control- shift and alt changes it in the other direction tham
[18:48] <dr_willis> Mitchell,  i doubt it.. Unless you got one of those annoying windows7 setups thats using 4 primary partitions.
[18:48] <SeanB94> sean@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install ee
[18:48] <SeanB94> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[18:48] <oCean> xxmmaann: mentiond bug is a duplicate of 522010, where it says "This bug was fixed in the package luciole - 0.8.3-0ubuntu1"
[18:48] <dr_willis> Mitchell,  pastebin the output of 'sudo fdisk -l' for the channel to look at.
[18:48] <Mitchell> dr_willis not even in linux yet i am about to try the installer
[18:48] <soreau> Mitchell: It's likely newer hardware doesn't have drivers yet or they haven't made it into the linux kernel yet
[18:48] <dr_willis> Mitchell,  the live cd can install pastebin :) if you wanted to.
[18:49] <tham> soreau, no, it's desktop wall :S
[18:49] <dr_willis> Mitchell,  IF theres 4 primary partitioons.. well that puts a bit of a wench in the  installers options..
[18:49] <Mitchell> dr_willis i have a recovery partition, the C: partition, and the SYSTEM partition.
[18:49] <soreau> tham: You should be able to switch then.. do you have Viewport Switcher enabled?
[18:49] <tham> rhin0, sorry I didn't get you. I have to press Ctrl+Alt+shift?
[18:49] <dr_willis> Mitchell,  sure theres not a little bitty boot partiton also? like 20mb?
[18:49] <xxmmaann> so i need download that package?
[18:49] <rhin0> you press control-alt to flip between windows right and control-shift -alt to do it left
[18:49] <tham> soreau, yes, enabled
[18:50] <oCean> xxmmaann: yes, try that
[18:50] <tham> soreau, I have Unity-2D btw. Is it different?
[18:50] <Mitchell> there is a 1MB unallotacted partitio, dr_willis
[18:50] <soreau> tham: Well with unity there's not much I can help with. If you were using straight compiz, I could though
[18:50] <evil_grin> hey guys
[18:50] <xxmmaann> ok
[18:50] <dr_willis> Mitchell,  so you only see 3 partitions total, and  1mb in unallocated space?
[18:50] <tham> soreau, Ah okay, thanks anyway
[18:50] <Mitchell> yes, dr_willis
[18:50]  * BluesKaj waits for Mitchell to boot the alternate
[18:51] <sammmy> soreau: what sort of settings can I put in this configuration file?
[18:51] <dr_willis> Mitchell,  you  made the proper backup/recovery dvd set for that laptop?
[18:51] <SeanB94> and also dr_willis  when i try to do the update it gives me the same command
[18:51] <Mitchell> i'll get my netbook, Be Right Back
[18:51] <Mitchell> dr_willis it came with backup DVDs.
[18:51] <dr_willis> Mitchell,  thats.. supriseing.. :)
[18:51] <dr_willis> really really really supriseing..
[18:52] <soreau> tham: Yes, unity 2D may be drastically different
[18:52] <Mitchell> dr_willis before I bought it I made sure it would come with them, I made the store check for all laptops with the specs I wanted that came with OEM recovery VD's.
[18:52] <dr_willis> Mitchell,  im suprised they found any.
[18:52] <soreau> sammmy: That is really beyond the scope of this channel.. you might try googling though (you basically would just define and Input section )
[18:52] <dr_willis> unity-2d dosent use compiz i thouight.
[18:53] <BluesKaj> dr_willis, , must be coporate MScontract
[18:53] <wols_> dr_willis: business ones usually do
[18:53] <tham> soreau, Hmm, that must be the reason
[18:53] <SeanB94> http://i53.tinypic.com/4zxn4o.png is the picture of what my update manager looks like
[18:53] <wols_> dr_willis: it doesn't but uses the same composition api
[18:53] <Mitchell> dr_willis I have neurological issues that prevent me from handwriting..... so I take my laptop everywhere, I was running mint on my last one for years and want to try unity... but it's giving me a headache to remove windows.
[18:54] <dr_willis> Mitchell,  so you are going to delete windows from it? or you planning on dual booting?
[18:54] <wols_> SeanB94: try apt-get in a console. it gives you easily pasteable output which also tells you which packages can't be upgraded
[18:54] <Mitchell> dr_willis i want to remove windows
[18:54] <Mitchell> all i need in windows is one or two programs i can run in a virtualbox installation.
[18:54] <Blueleaf> has anyone gotten rhapsody to run under wine on ubuntu??
[18:54] <dr_willis> Mitchell,  you MAY have issues with the dual-video card setup.
[18:55] <dr_willis> Mitchell,  that sort of thing is very much cutting-edge  at this time
[18:55] <Mitchell> the bios doesn't present me with a single option on disabling the integrated one and using just the nvidia one.
[18:55] <w30> tham, unity will put its own ccms config back in when it restarts and goes back to the 2 across and 2 down scheme, I don't kwnow how to muck with the unity config
[18:55] <Mitchell> okay.
[18:55] <Mitchell> I'm assuming if I disable it in windows it won't help the installer at all.
[18:55] <Mitchell> dr_willis, correct?
[18:55] <dr_willis> Mitchell,  it may be defaulting to the intel one.. its getting to be a #1 issue in here.
[18:55] <wols_> Mitchell: can you disable the nvidia chip in BIOS?
[18:55] <Mitchell> nope.
[18:55] <ozyboi> Can I use a swap file bigger than 4 gb in a 32 bit system? Will it use everything?
[18:56] <dr_willis> Mitchell,  No idea.  I do know with my nvidia systems I have to use the nomodeset option or i cant even see the live-cd screens.. alt-cd may work. but i have to install the nvidia drivers, or use nomodeset befor the system is useable.
[18:56] <Mitchell> wols_ the bios gives me few options... no graphics options.
[18:56] <Mitchell> okay.
[18:56] <Mitchell> useable how dr_willis?
[18:56] <dr_willis> useable as i can see the screen...
[18:56] <Mitchell> oh.
[18:56] <Mitchell> how do i do nomdoeset?
[18:56] <Mitchell> *nomodeset
[18:56] <wols_> ozyboi: depends. it can via PAE for example. but there still is a reason to have a big swap file: if you want to hibernate your swap needs to be at least the size of your RAM
[18:56] <dr_willis> without nomoseset = black screen on one box. or mixxed garbage
[18:56] <Mitchell> where do i type nomodeset?
[18:57] <Mitchell> when it comes up with the list of install or try
[18:57] <Mitchell> what do I do?
[18:57] <dr_willis> Mitchell,  at the boot screens man-keyboard logo -> hit space.. then F5  or use the alt-installer cd.. or make a live cd/usb and make it the default in the syslinux configs
[18:57] <dr_willis> its BEFOR that list..
[18:57] <w30> tham,  you can run compiz in ubuntu classic by putting compiz in the startup list :=)
[18:57] <SeanB94> sean@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get check
[18:57] <SeanB94> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[18:57] <Mitchell> dr_willis will use the alt installer CD. almost done copying to my flash drive.
[18:57] <ispiked> dr_willis: thanks. unit reset icons did it
[18:57] <Mitchell> will switch on IRC on the netbook.
[18:57] <sammmy> soreau: an inputdevice section you mean?
[18:57] <SeanB94> wols_:
[18:58] <wols_> SeanB94: very very helpful error message, don't you agree?
[18:58] <dr_willis> never interrupt dpkg. :)
[18:58] <SeanB94> i so agree
[18:58] <w30> tham like compiz --restart --indirect-rendering in my case
[18:58] <IdleOne> SeanB94: have you run sudo dpkg --configure -a?
[18:58] <SeanB94> yes IdleOne
[18:59] <mayko> soreau et al: no go - once I enter my pswd, it still blanks, displays text too fast to read (something about connection refused?) and returns me to the login screen. Would it matter if the home partition was encyrpted?
[18:59] <ozyboi> wols_: right, that sounds reasonable. as I am setting up a system on an external harddrive, with i386 as the base so you can use it mostly anywhere. and here's a more difficult question, if I use hibernate on one system, and then take the harddrive to another system, it will panic or something, right?
[18:59] <wols_> SeanB94: and did it give you more errors?
[18:59] <w30> tham, or fusion
[18:59] <dr_willis> Mitchell,  heres somthing to bookmark ---->   http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/06/bumblebee-gets-a-ppa-brings-nvidia-optimus-graphics-switching-to-ubuntu/
[18:59] <tham> w30, Um.. how would that help in my problem? :S
[18:59] <SeanB94> sean@ubuntu:~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
[18:59] <SeanB94> dpkg: parse error, in file '/var/lib/dpkg/updates/0127' near line 0: newline in field name `#padding'
[18:59] <Mitchell> dr_willis i'm back on a different computer
[18:59] <dr_willis> Mitchell,  if you are lucky - that tool may help once you get the system going
[18:59] <soreau> mayko: I am not familiar with encrypted filesystems
[18:59] <Mitchell> Okay dr_willis
[18:59] <SeanB94> IdleOne: and wols_  ^^
[19:00] <wols_> ozyboi: shouldn't. but you have to try. and if you don't "resume" (kernel option I think, there should be no problem since then it doesn't resume from hibernation but simply boot
[19:00] <WeThePeople> can someone help me install a RMP
[19:00] <WeThePeople> RPM
[19:00] <IdleOne> SeanB94: not sure this is a good idea but I would just delete /var/lib/dpkg/updates/0127 and run apt-get update again. wols_  anyt houghts ?
[19:00] <IdleOne> thoughts*
[19:00] <Mitchell> dr_willis at a black screen
[19:00] <wols_> WeThePeople: don't. convert to tar.gz and install manually
[19:00] <Mitchell> and the flash drive light is off.
[19:00] <ozyboi> wols_: ah, i thought it would "save" the configuration of the last system and then don't know what to do. but i'll try
[19:00] <wols_> SeanB94: what is this 0127 file?
[19:00] <SeanB94> its #padding
[19:01] <pete_> anyone know how to get ubuntu to set the hostname from what it recives from dhcp?
[19:01] <Mitchell> dr_willis the activity light on the flash drive stopped..... after like 30 seconds, and the screen is still black.
[19:01] <dr_willis> Mitchell,  bummer.. could be the gfx cards have it really confused.
[19:01] <SeanB94> http://pastebin.com/d0hU3Ttf that is 0127
[19:01] <Mitchell> i'm at the grub command line
[19:01] <Mitchell> what should i do?
[19:01] <dr_willis> oh thats good...
[19:02] <dr_willis> you see some  lines you can edit? or did you not see a menu at all?
[19:02] <Mitchell> i have a menu
[19:02] <w30> tham, well, its a cludge to get past Unity's configure limits
[19:02] <dr_willis> theres a key to 'edit' the menu item. You want to edit the one that starts the os. and append 'nomodeset' to the end.
[19:02] <dr_willis> Mitchell,  if theres a 'quiet splash'  in the line.. replace it with 'nomodeset'
[19:02] <tham> w30, Doesn't compiz settings usually work in unity?
[19:03] <Mitchell> dr_willis there is a set gfxpayload=keep
[19:03] <Mitchell> should i remove that?
[19:03] <Mitchell> its the alternate installer.
[19:03] <SeanB94> wols_:  http://pastebin.com/d0hU3Ttf is 0127
[19:03] <dr_willis> alt-installer may differ.
[19:03] <Mitchell> dr_willis unknown command 'nomodeset'
[19:03] <soreau> SeanB94: Really, if you can't reproduce it on a live cd or don't have a problem reinstalling, just do that
[19:03] <wols_> SeanB94: fun stuff :) I go with IdleOne: delete with extreme prejudice
[19:04] <dr_willis>  try appending nomodeset to the end of the line thats similer to -->         linux   /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.38-8-generic root=UUID=98618a18-d2bf-411b-be82-bd094ed8b111 ro   noquiet nosplash
[19:04] <dr_willis> nomodset is not a command.. its an OPTION.
[19:04] <soreau> SeanB94: You're wasting time on a problem you're not likely to be able to fix
[19:04] <wols_> dr_willis: but how to do that on the live cd?
[19:04] <PythonSnake> Fopp ?
[19:04] <soreau> SeanB94: Have you tried fsck on the filesystem btw?
[19:04] <dr_willis>  edit the linux 'bla bla bla' line to be   linux 'bla bla bla' nomodeset
[19:04] <SeanB94> no i havent
[19:04] <w30> tham, maybe someone else can point to a Unity config file to edit but I couldn't find it. ccms changes will work only till you restart or re-login (is that a real word, heheh))will
[19:05] <soreau> ! fsck | SeanB94
[19:05] <keyboardtalk> !mount
[19:05] <Mitchell> dr_willis can i talk to you in pvt?
[19:05] <dr_willis> sure Mitchell  - i only got about 50 min till bed time for me.
[19:05] <tham> w30, Ah I see. Thanks
[19:06] <PythonSnake> anyone need help for dual boot ? :)
[19:06] <IdleOne> SeanB94: what originally caused you to get that error?
[19:06] <soreau> w30: FWIW, it's ccsm (compiz config settings manager)
[19:06] <soreau> SeanB94: yea, how did this break in the first place?
[19:06] <w30> tham, I never tried running the Unity option in ubuntu classic, maybe that would survive a re-start?
[19:06] <dr_willis> compiz = proveing that people will bend over backwards and do backflips for eyecandy :)
[19:07] <tham> w30, I don't have an idea :S
[19:07] <dr_willis> How many other window maangers can do compositing? compiz,  kwm, metacity with the right option I think... any others?
[19:07] <SeanB94> i went to do the update and it gave me that error
[19:07] <soreau> dr_willis: Not just any eyecandy, functional realtime eyecandy
[19:08] <edbian> dr_willis: xfwm4
[19:08] <dr_willis> soreau,  my wife does like the zoom... :)
[19:08] <oCean> SeanB94: have you run 'sudo apt-get clean' ?
[19:08] <dr_willis> she pukes at the wiggly windows.
[19:08] <soreau> dr_willis: metacity, kwin and compiz do. I believe also e17
[19:08]  * edbian feels ignored
[19:08] <dr_willis> e17 does? Hmm..  its so weird.. i avoide that one. :)
[19:08] <PythonSnake> Anyone know a good ubuntu game ?
[19:08] <soreau> dr_willis: I can't operate without ezoom :)
[19:08] <dr_willis> !games | PythonSnake
[19:08] <Mitchell> dr_willis do i edit it on the line that begins with linux /install/vmlinuz file=
[19:08] <Mitchell> ?
[19:09] <soreau> dr_willis: I don't know, never used e17, I just know the developer :)

[19:09] <user870> <- strange wireless problem. wireless WORKS. all firmware is installed. but when i connect to the ap, the internet isnt working. tried connecting to my neighbors and it works fine. can connect my phone to our wifi and usb tether to the laptop and it works.
[19:09] <soreau> user870: Didn't you ask about this about an hour ago?
[19:09] <w30> soreau, soreau exposes w30's CRS  (can't remember sh*t)
[19:10] <user870> no?
[19:10] <SeanB94> yes oCean  and it does nothing other than be a line in my terminal
[19:10] <grungekid> !cheese
[19:10] <user870> havent been here in months
[19:10] <soreau> user870: Can you ping <IP_ADDRESS>?
[19:10] <edbian> user870: reset the router
[19:10] <oCean> SeanB94: it should clear out everything of retrieved packagefiles. The offending updates/0127 file should be gone
[19:10] <tertl3> i pinged it ;)
[19:11] <Mitchell> isn't working i'm about to get you my config file
[19:11] <Riberty> how can i make the active window glow around the edges?
[19:11] <assasins> marichal
[19:11] <dr_willis> Riberty,  check the shadow settings in ccsm tool.
[19:11] <user870> edbian ill try that
[19:11] <SeanB94> its still there

[19:12] <Mitchell> dr_willis the line is: "linux /install/vmlinuz file=/cdrom/presed/ubuntu.seed quiet --", what should it be changed to?
[19:12] <soreau> user870: You're not defining the problem clearly. When it 'isnt working' but 'connected', can you ping <IP_ADDRESS>?
[19:13] <user870> soreau im connected to the ap but no websites etc will load.
[19:13] <soreau> user870: What do you have in /etc/resolv.conf for nameserver?

[19:13] <soreau> user870: Can you ping <IP_ADDRESS>?
[19:14] <Riberty> dr_willis:i dont see the shadow settings in ccsm
[19:14] <dr_willis> Mitchell,  you could also try 'nomodeset nofb'
[19:14] <soreau> user870: It's one of google's main nameservers
[19:14] <edbian> user870: can you ping that address?
[19:14] <Mitchell> dr_willis could you take what i posted and tell me what it should look like? It isn't working.
[19:14] <soreau> ozyboi: <IP_ADDRESS> is one of google's main nameservers
[19:14] <IdleOne> SeanB94: Please stop running the same commands that have not worked and Please run:  sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/updates/0127; sudo apt-get update

[19:14] <Mitchell> and dr_willis when i'm done i press f10 right?
[19:15] <soreau> SeanB94: When did this problem start happening?
[19:15] <dr_willis> "linux /install/vmlinuz file=/cdrom/presed/ubuntu.seed nomodeset nosplash nofb text verbose --"      (all the options i know of that may help)

[19:15] <OY1R> can someone recommend a dvd creator  ?
[19:15] <dr_willis> OY1R,  you mean to make a video dvd from a video file?
[19:15] <knxville> Hi, where can I find help for using cat to sort textfiles?
[19:15] <soreau> OY1R: I have had success with devede
[19:16] <dr_willis> devede works well.. takes a little bit of learning
[19:16] <OY1R> one than i can use to make a dvd with video and photos, and a menu system ?
[19:16] <SeanB94> yesterday they started
[19:16] <soreau> OY1R: Yes, devede
[19:16] <dr_willis> knxville,  i use the sort command to sort text files...
[19:16] <Mitchell> dr_willis still not working.
[19:16] <OY1R> soreau, thank you.
[19:16] <user870> soreau im connected to my neighbors wifi. do you still want me to ping it? in /etc/resolvconf there is just a folder update-libc
[19:16] <farr3ll> hey guys ,why i can't download some chm files using the wget -r -k to get a website mirror for offline reading
[19:16] <SeanB94> Fetched 2,000B in 1s (1,741B/s)
[19:16] <SeanB94> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[19:16] <knxville> dr_willis, what does the sort commando do?
[19:16] <dr_willis> Mitchell,  im out of ideas then. - You may want to check the forums and the askubuntu.com site for that exact make laptop
[19:16] <SeanB94> thats what i got when i did what u said IdleOne
[19:16] <dr_willis> knxville,  err... it 'sorts'
[19:16] <soreau> user870: I've asked you several times can you ping <IP_ADDRESS>. What makes you think that's changed?
[19:17] <dr_willis> knxville,  a c b ---> a b c
[19:17] <OY1R> soreau, can it convert mp4 for vob or what ever the dvd player reads ?
[19:17] <soreau> user870: You are making it very difficult for me to help you
[19:17] <IdleOne> SeanB94: ok now run sudo dpkg --configure -a
[19:17] <soreau> OY1R: Not sure, you'd have to try it and see
[19:17] <user870> soreau, abunch of lines of this. 64 bytes from <IP_ADDRESS>: icmp_req=372 ttl=51 time=48.1 ms
[19:17] <OY1R> soreau, i will have a look at it, thanks.
[19:17] <PythonSnake> how to pm in irssi please
[19:17] <soreau> OY1R: If all else fails, just use an external converter
[19:17] <ZykoticK9> user870, "cat /etc/resolv.conf" to see the contents of that file - should have some IP address in it - if not, could explain why you don't have DNS resolution (IF that's your issue)
[19:17] <dr_willis> OY1R,  devede can take a video and make a dvd-video disk with menus.. it dosent do picture slideshows.
[19:17] <soreau> user870: Ok great!
[19:17] <OY1R> oh
[19:18] <soreau> user870: Now you just need to add a nameserver. Do you know the IP of the router?
[19:18] <SeanB94> ok done IdleOne  sean@ubuntu:~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
[19:18] <SeanB94> dpkg: parse error, in file '/var/lib/dpkg/updates/0128' near line 0: field name `
[19:18] <dr_willis> You could take pictures and make a video slide show of it.. then use devede on the video
[19:18] <Mitchell> well this is rather upsetting dr_willis.
[19:18] <IdleOne> SeanB94: apt-cache policy dpkg
[19:18] <dr_willis> Mitchell,  cutting edge hardware - is often an issue. and that dual-video stuff is very very very cutting edge
[19:18] <PythonSnake> :)
[19:18] <ziozizo> why the signal from my wireless key it'100% but don't connet at the web service.50 MT about is the distance for the routers,with some infrastructure .MY key it's an Asus 802.
[19:18] <OY1R> ahh wait that's not a problem, i made a vob file slide show with all the images so it's a video file i can just stick it in there.
[19:18] <PythonSnake> how to pm in irssi please
[19:18] <soreau> IdleOne: Did you see his dmesg? A bunch of ext4 removing unused node messages
[19:19] <Mitchell> dr_willis know of any distros that will work? plain old debian?
[19:19] <knxville> dr_willis, yeah ok.. but i have textfiles with 2 "lists"... like name and email, and I want to remove names..
[19:19] <IdleOne> PythonSnake: /querry nickname
[19:19] <dr_willis> Mitchell,  you could put the HD in a differnt pc. or install to a flash drive on a differnt pc. and  install the nvidia drivers and it may work .
[19:19] <soreau> IdleOne: I think his filesystem got bugged somehow
[19:19] <PythonSnake> thx
[19:19] <user870> soreau i dont think it is great. im connected to my neighbors wifi.
[19:19] <Mitchell> dr_willis I'll try another distro...
[19:19] <IdleOne> soreau: I still have yet to know what caused the issue in the first place because he doesn't answer
[19:19] <ZykoticK9> OY1R, i'd imagine devede could use the VOB as input (might still have to encode it mind you)
[19:19] <soreau> user870: I swear, this could be so easy if you just answer my questions
[19:19] <dr_willis> Mitchell,  also ive found penguy seems to installed better on my nvidia machines.
[19:19] <Mitchell> my other netbook runs fedora.
[19:19] <IdleOne> soreau: you might be right. fsck?
[19:19] <Mitchell> penguy?
[19:20] <soreau> user870: Read what I am typing.
[19:20] <soreau> IdleOne: Yea he hasn't tried that yet
[19:20] <dr_willis> Mitchell,  fedora i dont recall having the nvidia issue for me either.
[19:20] <soreau> IdleOne: (I did suggest it however)
[19:20] <Mitchell> Okay, fedora it is..
[19:20] <IdleOne> SeanB94: do a fsck like soreau mentioned earlier
[19:20] <SeanB94> http://pastebin.com/9Rs3eRkv
[19:20] <SeanB94> ok
 user870: Now you just need to add a nameserver. Do you know the IP of the router?
[19:20] <Mitchell> i only really need good graphics for secondlife and i watch an occasional movie.
[19:20] <OY1R> i'll have a look at it see what i can find out, thanks for the suggestion.
[19:20] <dr_willis> Mitchell,  ive had to fight with every nvidia machine i got for the last 3+ releases due to the use of the noveau drivers and plymouth.
[19:20] <IdleOne> SeanB94: ok that is the correct version
[19:20] <Mitchell> Okay
[19:21] <Mitchell> well dr_willis now windows won't boot so i need to do a startup recovery.
[19:21] <dr_willis> I think you got more gfx power then you need...
[19:21] <Mitchell> i know.
[19:21] <Mitchell> they didn't have the other model in stock
[19:21] <Mitchell> with JUSt the nvidia graphics
[19:21] <Mitchell> but they said for $20 more they could sell me this one.
[19:21] <user870> soreau, i can find it
[19:21] <SeanB94> ok now do the fsck?
[19:21] <PythonSnake_> HO
[19:21] <PythonSnake_> Hi*

[19:25] <r3b00tx> someone plz help on this
[19:25] <BluesKaj> well why are you trying to boot thru a usb , Mitchell?
[19:25] <ZykoticK9> jake_, there is firefox chromium in open source, chrome or opera in propritary, lynx links for cli.  Browsers aplenty.
[19:26] <soreau> r3b00tx: use the version for your version of ubuntu
[19:26] <Mitchell> BluesKaj to save CD's.
[19:26] <tensorpudding> r3b00tx: what do you mean? just install the virtualbox package
[19:26] <nmourey> Any one remember the CLI command to check/set the speed on a WIFI connection?
[19:26] <jpds> nmourey: iwconfig
[19:26] <JAWC> what should I use as "stop on" in an upstart script that uses ip6tables-save? For some reason it keeps writing a blank file.
[19:26] <nmourey> Thanks!!
[19:27] <BluesKaj> buy some cdrws . Mitchell ...live cd is still the best for installing on hdds
[19:27] <dmtarmey_> hello
[19:28] <Mitchell> BluesKaj whats new in 11.10
[19:28] <Mitchell> ?
[19:28] <BluesKaj> not much on kde , Mitchell...still te4sting
[19:29] <Mitchell> i'm going to be using unity anyway, BluesKaj
[19:29] <user870> soreau, it doesnt output anything. asks for password then just resets
[19:29] <Mitchell> or gnome3 if its supported
[19:29] <soreau> user870: ugh. Well basically you need to get the IP of the router and use that as your nameserver or just <IP_ADDRESS>
[19:30] <PythonSnake_> someone can help me with Xorg -configure ?
[19:30] <Mitchell> Be Right Back
[19:30] <soreau> user870: So to get it working right now, put this in /etc/resolv.conf: nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>
[19:30] <ziozizo> there's some sistem to resolve my problem to connect:This it's the problem:I've a wireless signal at 100% but  the server tell me than i have some proxy or other problem on my system.How can risolve?
[19:30] <ZykoticK9> PythonSnake_, what's the issue?
[19:30] <user870> thank you soreau! sorry i was being stubborn earlier :P
[19:30] <PythonSnake_> ZykoticK9: http://paste.ubuntu.com/632541/
[19:31] <soreau> user870: No worries, just remember that without a nameserver, you can only access raw IP's, not with their website names
[19:32] <soreau> user870: And generally, it gets this info from the router
[19:32] <meco> In gnome ubuntu I can switch between US and Norwegian keyboard settings with ctrl-shift, but this doesn't work with openbox. Can someone help me with how to do that?
[19:32] <unclemantis> how do i know if my cron is excecuiting? Where are the errors stored if there is a permissions error?
[19:32] <ZykoticK9> PythonSnake_, there are 2 options - but try "Xorg -configure -- :1" right now (i do need to veryify that)
[19:32] <liminal> hello
[19:32] <liminal> I have a noob linux question
[19:32] <iceeyboi> how do I connect to more then 1 irc server without having many clients open?
[19:32] <liminal> what does it mean when you run a command in the terminal ./whatevercommand
[19:33] <liminal> what does the ./ denote?
[19:33] <PythonSnake_> ZykoticK9: http://paste.ubuntu.com/632554/
[19:33] <ZykoticK9> PythonSnake_, if my command above didn't work try"sudo X -configure :1"
[19:33] <soreau> unclemantis: You should eliminate the possibility of errors in cron by 1) Specifying the full path of any files or binaries you invoke 2) Use an echo command to test 3) Run the command in a terminal (with full paths) to make sure it works
[19:34] <ZykoticK9> PythonSnake_, actually maybe we should do this properly!  we need to stop GDM.
[19:34] <soreau> unclemantis: So instead of 'echo' you would use whatever the value of 'which echo' is when run as your normal user
[19:34] <Kuehlschrank> liminal: it is used for telling the shell that you want to execute a program in the folder you are in
[19:34] <unclemantis> soreau i have done all of the above
[19:34] <ZykoticK9> PythonSnake_, did that last command work or not?
[19:34] <frostschutz> liminal: commands only work if it's in your PATH, or if you give the path. so ./ denotes the path to a file in the local directory
[19:34] <soreau> unclemantis: What happens when you try and echo something > /tmp/somefile ?
[19:35] <frostschutz> liminal: PATH is usually /bin, /usr/bin, etc. (echo $PATH)
[19:35] <soreau> unclemantis: Also..
[19:35] <soreau> ! cron | unclemantis
[19:35] <Kuehlschrank> liminal: the shell would look for the program in it's PATH otherwise
[19:35] <Jantire> I'm having some permissions problems on a samba share
[19:35] <Jantire> http://pastie.org/2121589 is my smb.conf file and smbusers
[19:35] <Jantire> I can access it within an ssh session signed on to the same user that I sign on for the samba share just fine
[19:35] <PythonSnake_> no
[19:35] <Jantire> but I can't write anything to the samba share
[19:35] <coz_> whoever was wanting dvd slide show  there is an application named  "Imagination"
[19:36] <PythonSnake_> ZykoticK9:   Configuration failed.  ddxSigGiveUp: Closing log
[19:36] <unclemantis> the file /tmp/somefile contains one line that says something
[19:36] <Mitchell> does anyone know when 11.10 will be out?
[19:36] <ZykoticK9> PythonSnake_, to stop GDM (this is going to log you out!!!) 1) "sudo service gdm stop" 2) from the VT try running your origional Xorg command to generate the config (it will not error about in-use) 3) cross your fingers ;)
[19:36] <Jantire> Or he can do init 3
[19:36] <meco> In gnome ubuntu I can toggle between US and Norwegian keyboard settings with ctrl-shift, but this doesn't work with openbox. Can someone help me toggle keyboard settings?
[19:36] <Jantire> that's a "better" way of stopping X server
[19:36] <ZykoticK9> PythonSnake_, to restart "sudo service gdm start"
[19:36] <PythonSnake_> VT ?
[19:36] <Mitchell> dr_willis when does 11.10 come out?
[19:37] <Jantire> Mitchell google it
[19:37] <PythonSnake_> ok
[19:37] <soreau> coz_: fail
[19:37] <ZykoticK9> PythonSnake_, virtual terminal??? not sure exact name
[19:37] <Jeruvy> Mitchell, 11.10, 11 is the year, 10 is the month
[19:37] <Mitchell> mmkay

[19:38] <ZykoticK9> PythonSnake_, last warning - in #ubuntu or not at all.
[19:38] <Jantire> http://pastie.org/2121589 => My samba permissions are fucked up, I can't write to it over samba, but can over SSH
[19:38] <unclemantis> the file /var/log/syslog is empty
[19:38] <Jantire> Any help?
[19:38] <soreau> ! language | Jantire
[19:39] <Mitchell> yeah my MBR is messed up now
[19:39] <Jantire> Any help?
[19:39] <Logan_> !please | Jantire
[19:39] <meco> How do I toggle keyboard layout with openbox?
[19:40] <Blueleaf> !
[19:40] <soreau> meco: In an openbox session or running openbox in gnome?
[19:40] <meco> soreau: Uhm... I only have the black openbox desktop...
[19:41] <Mitchell> for multple GPU's, although i prefer debian based systems, would it be better off to just use Fedora?
[19:41] <sammmy> Where's the trash directory?
[19:41] <r3b00tx> @sorueau @tensorpudding got it, thanks :)
[19:41] <user870> soreau, didnt work :/
[19:41] <Zpix> Hi all
[19:41] <soreau> user870: Sure it did
[19:41] <Zpix> I wanna make a live cd from my ubuntu 11.04 how can I do that?
[19:41] <user870> soreau, unfortunately no
[19:41] <Mitchell> Zpix just burn it?
[19:41] <soreau> ! doesntwork | user870
[19:42] <meco> soreau: I think that means it's an openbox session..?
[19:42] <Zpix> Mitchell: I want to install in on another laptop
[19:42] <soreau> meco: So it's probably something that gnome handles that openbox doesn't
[19:42] <mayko> aaaaaaand fixed. had to update the crypttab file so that the encrypted partition could be mounted on login :D
[19:42] <user870> ubottu, he knows what im talking avout. unless hes forgotten in ~3 minutes
[19:42] <soreau> mayko: Ah
[19:42] <Mitchell> Zpix, i'd say the easiest thing is to download the ISO From the ubuntu website, then just burn it to a disk.
[19:42] <mayko> yay i learned something!!!!
[19:43] <soreau> user870: ie. what did you do that isn't working?
[19:43] <mayko> operating on a computer is always fun
[19:43] <meco> soreau: I suspect that, so there must be another way to do it in openbox rather than a keyboard shortcut... Du you have any idea how I find out how?
[19:43] <maujhsn>  Anyone willing to tackle this Project m compile, and make issue! http://pastebin.com/m7hLg9yy
[19:43] <Zpix> Mitchell: mate! I wanna make a live dvd/cd from my ubuntu
[19:43] <soreau> meco: You'd have to ask the openbox folks
[19:43] <Mitchell> oh, no clue.
[19:43] <soreau> maujhsn: Why are you trying to build it?
[19:43] <meco> soreau:OK, their channel is invite only though...
[19:44] <soreau> meco: There's usually a user counterpart
[19:44] <maujhsn> soreau audio visualization!
[19:44] <user870> soreau, put nameserver <IP_ADDRESS> in /etc/resolv.conf
[19:44] <soreau> maujhsn: Just install it from the repos
[19:45] <user870> soreau, tried routers ip also
[19:45] <ZykoticK9> soreau, (or anyone) could meco run "dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration" safely on ubuntu/openbox to reconfigure keyboard?  i really don't know if it apples/is save - and it's suppose to be for X and Console in Debian.
[19:45] <soreau> !info projectm-pulseaudio | maujhsn
[19:45] <maujhsn> soreau using svn
[19:45] <soreau> user870: If you can ping <IP_ADDRESS> and you use that as your nameserver, it should work
[19:45] <ZykoticK9> s/apples/applies/
[19:45] <soreau> maujhsn: Use apt-get
[19:45] <soreau> maujhsn: apt-get install projectm-pulseaudio
[19:46] <meco> soreau: What do you mean by 'user counterpart'?
[19:46] <soreau> meco: Sometimes the main channel is for a special purpose and there may be something like #openbox-support or whatever
[19:47] <maujhsn> soreau I will  give it a shot!
[19:47] <Scott0> im looking for a home document management app,why is it so hard to find? id rather not run a .NT app through mono for this
[19:47] <meco> soreau: I see..
[19:47] <Jantire> I keep getting permissions errors on my samba share - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10980772#post10980772
[19:47] <thrillERboy> I've seen some cool system monitor kind of things in the wallpaper, how to achieve that?
[19:48] <soreau> !info conky | thrillERboy
[19:48] <SeanB94> ok i did that and got the same config -a line
[19:48] <thrillERboy> thanks soreau
[19:49] <soreau> meco: Seems they want users to use the mailing list for whatever reason
[19:49] <dr_willis> using openbox right now. :) and conky.
[19:49] <Kuehlschrank> thrillERboy: There are a bunch of sample configs out there, you may use one to build up your own.
[19:49] <soreau> dr_willis: He;s looking for a way to switch keyboard layouts in openbox
[19:49] <SeanB94> IdleOne:  did that got the same -a error
[19:50] <dr_willis> I imagine you would have to use some tool to do it.. openbox is  a window maanger.. proberly dosent have settings to do that. but i never use keyboard layouts.. so dont kniow that for sure
[19:50] <soreau> dr_willis: Isn't it kinda like a DE?
[19:50] <dr_willis> openbox is a window manager.. thats all
[19:50] <meco> soreau: Well, if the community isn't that big perhaps they find it difficult to service an irc channel...
[19:50] <soreau> dr_willis: I know you can't run another wm in an openbox session at least..
[19:50] <dr_willis> lxde uses openbox as its wm.
[19:50] <soreau> meco: maybe so
[19:51] <dr_willis> openbox is a window maanger.. :) so that makes sence
[19:51] <dr_willis> openox ession - basically runs openbox.. thats about it.
[19:51] <Scott0> so nothing on document management in linux?
[19:52] <dr_willis> willis@Cowbuntu:~$ vi /usr/bin/openbox-session
[19:52] <thrillERboy> my conky is ugly :(
[19:52] <Kuehlschrank> thrillERboy: There are a bunch of sample configs out there, you may use one to build up your own.
[19:52] <dr_willis> thrillERboy,  theres a neat conky config on webupd8 this week.
[19:52] <meco> I'm reading some text that puts the "blame" at Xorg... But that open up a can of worms for me since I don't know what Xorg is (in all my inexperience)
[19:52]  * thrillERboy googles conky config
[19:52] <maujhsn> soreau:  I get this CML message: E: Couldn't find package projectm-pulseaudio
[19:53] <soreau> meco: Xorg is the X windowing system, the 'shell' that provides the main GUI in linux
[19:53] <soreau> !info projectm-pulseaudio | maujhsn
[19:54] <soreau> maujhsn: It's in universe repo
[19:54] <soreau> maujhsn: Make sure you have it enabled
[19:54] <SeanB94> ugh im dr_willis  would i be able to copy the same file that is giveing me problems from my other computer that is also running ubuntu
[19:54] <justunknown> how can i configure the startup-programs as root?
[19:54] <kevin_> hello
[19:54] <soreau> justunknown: Put them in /etc/rc.local
[19:55] <soreau> SeanB94: The problem is likely not the file but the filesystem, hard drive or another system issue that may or may not be fxed by a reinstall
[19:55] <soreau> fixed*
[19:55] <justunknown> soreau, before exit 0 or after?
[19:55] <dr_willis> http://www.webupd8.org/2011/06/conky-lunatico-rings-displays-system.html
[19:55] <soreau> justunknown: before
[19:56] <justunknown> soreau, thank you
[19:56] <dr_willis> SeanB94,  if it exists i guess you an try.. or just look at the files and compare.
[19:56] <soreau> SeanB94: So if it's not happening to your other system (and not for the rest of the world using ubuntu) then it's probably a local error that could be fixed by a reinstall
[19:56] <dr_willis> SeanB94,  i imagine that file error is a sign of deeper problems like soreau  says
[19:56] <rogeriocam31415> Are there someone who could help me?
[19:57] <dr_willis> justunknown,  what are you wanting to startup?
[19:57] <soreau> ! help | rogeriocam31415
[19:57] <savid> How can I see what files will be installed from a given package?
[19:57] <rogeriocam31415> i need some to chat with someone...
[19:57] <[adw]> Hi,ive got a external drive formatted with exfat,but it wont mount-because mbr is broken.anyone know how to fix without dataloss?
[19:57] <rogeriocam31415> can someone chat with me?
[19:57] <justunknown> dr_willis,  mount my drive automatically to my home folder
[19:57] <soreau> savid: packages.ubuntu.com
[19:57] <soreau> ! help | rogeriocam31415
[19:57] <rogeriocam31415> thanks man...
[19:57] <Kuehlschrank> rogeriocam31415: about what?
[19:57] <rogeriocam31415> i'm new on IRC chat...
[19:57] <dr_willis> justunknown,  make a proper fstab entry for the drives.
[19:58] <rogeriocam31415> and i wanna learn more about it..
[19:58] <soreau> rogeriocam31415: About IRC?
[19:58] <Arjun> do you know if ubuntu livedisc supports generic external hard drives over usb?
[19:58] <rogeriocam31415> not exactly...
[19:58] <dr_willis> [adw],  the mbr is normally the bootloader.. that shouldent affect mounting.
[19:58] <justunknown> dr_willis, thought it would be easier just putting the mount command ^^
[19:58] <dr_willis> [adw],  unless its the disk partition layout of the mbr tjhats broken.
[19:58] <soreau> Arjun: Yes it does
[19:58] <rogeriocam31415> i'm learning about programation.. am i in the right local?
[19:58] <dr_willis> justunknown,  easier to learn and use mount  and the fstab properly.
[19:59] <dr_willis> easier in the long run. :)
[19:59] <sammmy> Where's the Trash directory in Ubuntu?
[19:59] <dr_willis> !trash
[19:59] <savid> soreau,  I don't see here where it shows installed files:   http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/nodejs
[19:59] <Arjun> awesome love the livedisc feature in ubuntu its saved my comp so many times
[19:59] <[adw]> dr_willis: I think the layout is broken
[19:59] <Yeti_69> !fr
[19:59] <dr_willis> [adw],  theres some recovery tools that may help. but ive never used them.
[19:59] <dr_willis> [adw],  you might want to image the drive to a differnt hd/file  just in case recovery fails. then you can try to recover from the image.
[19:59] <soreau> savid: Scroll down to the bottom where it says 'list of files'
[20:00] <[adw]> dr_willis: Thabks
[20:00] <savid> soreau,  ahh, thanks
[20:00] <[adw]> dr_willis: Ill try that
[20:00] <soreau> savid: np
[20:01] <justunknown> dr_willis, ok, thanks ; )
[20:01] <dr_willis> this is one of the nicer conky configs ive seen in a long time..  http://www.webupd8.org/2011/06/conky-lunatico-rings-displays-system.html
[20:02] <maujhsn> ubottu projectm-pulseaudio is not returning results in 10.4 lucid

[20:03] <cyperbg> any ieeas?
[20:03] <maujhsn> ubottu be universe specific maybe that will help!
[20:04] <meco> What is the default text editor ?
[20:04] <thrillERboy> Woohooo!!! My conky is beautiful now...
[20:04] <dr_willis> meco,  gedit, or nano
[20:04] <meco> ok
[20:04] <maujhsn> ubottu be universe specific maybe that will help!
[20:04] <Kuehlschrank> thrillERboy: you should create a conky-start.sh with: "sleep 14 && conky" in it and add it to your startup-programs
[20:04] <dr_willis> maujhsn,  ubottu  is a script.. not a person
[20:04]  * thrillERboy runs around Internet searching for new configs
[20:04] <bil21al> how can we set the time zone in  our launchpad account???
[20:04] <maujhsn> OK
[20:05] <dr_willis> thrillERboy,  theres 1000;s of them. trying that circule one  from the webupd8 site right now
[20:05] <meco> Is it normal that /home/user/.bashrc is empty?
[20:05] <dr_willis> meco,  mine has stuff in it.
[20:05] <Lasers> thrillERboy: Paste a screenshot -- Beautiful conky. :)
[20:06] <termleech> i having an issue i hope someone can help me solve, i've got ubuntu 11.04 running on a sony laptop, the graphics card is a geforce 310m
[20:06] <thrillERboy> Lunatico Rings?? I have that one only
[20:06] <termleech> every so often my window bars will disapear
[20:06] <termleech> i'm assuming the video card 3d driver is crashing
[20:06] <Lasers> meco: Sure. It can be empty -- or you can add your preferred options.
[20:06] <termleech> can anyone help?
[20:06] <meco> ok..
[20:06] <soreau> termleech: The window manager is crashing (unity)
[20:06] <dr_willis> thrillERboy,  conky only recently started using the new lua features.. so a lot of the old configs will be a lot simpiler to tweak.
[20:06] <termleech> soreau, ok, is there a fix for it?
[20:06] <soreau> termleech: Sure, use ubuntu classic
[20:07] <SeanB94> i looked on my other computer and it does not have that file now should i delete it and try it again
[20:07] <termleech> soreau, hah, ok
[20:07] <termleech> soreau, well i was hoping to keep using unity
[20:07] <soreau> termleech: Seriously, they released unity prematurely
[20:07] <termleech> i kind of like it
[20:07] <meco> Lasers: It isn't named 'user', that has to be replaced...
[20:07] <termleech> soreau, ok, well i'll go see if i can get gnome3 working then
[20:07] <soreau> termleech: It's only about 4 months worth of work and buggy as all hell
[20:07] <termleech> soreau, yea i've noticed
[20:07] <Kuehlschrank> dr_willis: do you know whether you can adjust the width of the conky toolbar?
[20:07] <thrillERboy> Lasers, http://i54.tinypic.com/205cmms.png My desktop now
[20:08] <Lasers> meco: Are you talking about file ownership?
[20:08] <Bitruder> I have a package (libva-glx1) that is installed via a different installation of libva, however, it keeps on trying to be installed by Synaptic from another PPA.  I then get an error that it cannot overwrite it as it is already installed (good), but the version that IS installed is not listed under Available Versions so I can't force that version.  How can I get synaptic to stop marking it as needing to be installed?
[20:08] <Lasers> thrillERboy: Very nice! :)
[20:08] <meco> Lasers: No, I just didn't realize I had to write the account name instead of 'user'
[20:08] <soreau> Bitruder: Remove the PPA. Only official packages and repos are supported here
[20:09] <dr_willis> Kuehlschrank,  conky is cofigurable.. so thats a yes.
[20:09] <maujhsn> dr_willis communicating with a bot was a first! I thought i was going through an April fools day joke!
[20:09] <Bitruder> soreau:  Sorry, but this IS the official PPA
[20:09] <soreau> Bitruder: There is no such thing as an official ppa. Do you know what ppa stands for
[20:09] <soreau> ?
[20:09] <Kuehlschrank> dr_willis: I'll take a look at the manual...later on. :)
[20:09] <hemika> hello, does any one know, how to make a shortcut key on ubuntu 11.04? I want to make one for shut down
[20:09] <xgt001> hello i just installed, new kernel, <IP_ADDRESS> stable, downloaded from kernel.ubuntu.com and my system gives me a blank screen in this kernel please help :(
[20:10] <dr_willis> official ppa - as in offical by the main program 'creator'  not official as in ubuntu's the companys official :)
[20:10] <Bitruder> soreau:  Yes, I do now.  Ok, so it's the official repo
[20:10] <coldpizza72i> so when does the market open
[20:10] <dr_willis> Kuehlschrank,  plan on spending a few days
[20:10] <SeanB94> how would u go about deleting the file?
[20:10] <Kuehlschrank> dr_willis: I already did my own conky-setup but the toolbar's just too wide
[20:10] <soreau> SeanB94: What file?
[20:10] <SeanB94> the file thats giveing me the problem
[20:11] <xgt001> hello i just installed, new kernel, <IP_ADDRESS> stable, downloaded from kernel.ubuntu.com and my system gives me a blank screen in this kernel please help :(
[20:11] <SeanB94> !repeat xgt001
[20:11] <dr_willis> Kuehlschrank,  minimum_size 180 500
[20:11] <dr_willis> maximum_width 180
[20:11] <coldpizza72i> any idea why my ssh connection is laggy... the kestrokes have super lag
[20:11] <hemika> Hello, does any one know, how to make a shortcut key on Ubuntu 11.04? I want to make one for shut down
[20:11] <Kuehlschrank> dr_willis: mine is about 3 inch
[20:12] <soreau> coldpizza72i: heavy network traffic or poor connection?
[20:12] <meco> Is /home/user/.bashrc only read on boot?
[20:12] <coldpizza72i> soreau: whats an adequate bandwidth speed?
[20:12] <dr_willis> Kuehlschrank,  so start the thing... load the conkyrc file in an editor.. make changes.. save it.. conky should see the change and restart using the new config... repeate till its how you want
[20:12] <coldpizza72i> dial up?
[20:12] <coldpizza72i> practicly
[20:13] <xgt001> hemika: sudo halt should work , make a new shortcut
[20:13] <xgt001> hemika: are u using unity?
[20:13] <dr_willis> 'gksudo halt'
[20:13] <hemika> xgt001, i have gnome 3
[20:13] <Kuehlschrank> dr_willis: I'll do so... thanks.
[20:13] <dr_willis> Kuehlschrank,  thats a relatively new feature in conky also.. it now sees/reloads its config on the fly.
[20:14] <soreau> coldpizza72i: Could also be something happening on the system you're ssh'd into
[20:14] <dr_willis> Kuehlschrank,  makes it a lot easier to tweak
[20:14] <soreau> coldpizza72i: could be responding slow
[20:14] <Kuehlschrank> dr_willis: I know. This is grat.
[20:14] <Kuehlschrank> dr_willis: *great
[20:14] <dr_willis> Kuehlschrank,  but 90% of the time. i do my work in fullscreened windows.. so i rarely see my conky thangs
[20:14] <xgt001> hemika: sorry :( i dint use gnome 3 , can u find an option in gnome 3 something like "create a launcher"??
[20:15] <Kuehlschrank> dr_willis: me too, but it's always nice too enjoy booting up and looking at the self-made super-sidebar
[20:15] <unclemantis> how do i know if a cronjob is even firing?>
[20:16] <dr_willis> Kuehlschrank,  my main conky thing is a simple config i made ages ago that just shows a calander widgit. :) thats it.. nothing fancy
[20:16] <soreau> unclemantis: Like I said, use echo something > /tmp/somefile
[20:16] <dr_willis> night all
[20:16] <edbian> Hello ?
[20:16] <xgt001> hello i just installed, new kernel, <IP_ADDRESS> stable, downloaded from kernel.ubuntu.com and my system gives me a blank screen in this kernel please help :(
[20:17] <soreau> xgt001: We don't support kernels that aren't part of official ubuntu repos
[20:17] <SeanB94> ok soreau  i am not getting it in a diffrent file number now
[20:17] <oCean> unclemantis: in /var/log/syslog you can see what cronjobs have been started
[20:17] <iamapickle> edbian: hi
[20:17] <soreau> SeanB94: So what's the problem now?
[20:17] <krzysztof> dupa
[20:17] <unclemantis> oh... put that in the cron, i thought you ment run that from the CLI
[20:18] <edbian> iamapickle: oh thank god.  I was feeling like I was going crazy
[20:18] <SeanB94> now its on 0128
[20:18] <iamapickle> edbian: ha ha. been there
[20:18] <oCean> !pl | krzysztof
[20:18] <unclemantis> ok, well that worked
[20:18] <soreau> unclemantis: Or something like date command
[20:18] <krzysztof> jaki głupi
[20:18] <xgt001> soreau: i have the same problem with <IP_ADDRESS> as well which is in natty backports can u help?
[20:18] <unclemantis> soreau so how do i find out why the other command is not running?
[20:18] <soreau> unclemantis: /bin/date > /tmp/croncheck
[20:19] <soreau> unclemantis: What command are you trying that isn't working?
[20:19] <safe> hi
[20:19] <soreau> xgt001: What graphics card is it?
[20:19] <safe> i need help
[20:19] <soreau> ! help | safe
[20:19] <iamapickle> what's the command to unlock apt-get
[20:19] <safe> I hit CTRL + ALT + F1
[20:19] <soreau> iamapickle: What makes you think it's locked?
[20:19] <safe> And it went into CLI mode
[20:19] <xgt001> ati mobility radeon 6300 and i dint install fglrx yet
[20:20] <safe> ~How do I get the GUI back on?
[20:20] <Lunar_Lamp> safe: ctrl+alt+F7
[20:20] <xgt001> soreau: ati mobility radeon 6300 and i dint install fglrx yet
[20:20] <soreau> iamapickle: Only one program can access the package management system at a time so you'll have to exit other apps like synaptic or update manager
[20:20] <safe> Thanks!
[20:20] <soreau> xgt001: Hmm.
[20:20] <ePirat> is there a way to switch to a more old fashioned ui on natty?
[20:20] <iamapickle> soreau: it's not now but earlier i was in icewm-lite and i accidentally killed the manager while a terminal was going with apt-get installing software
[20:20] <oCean> !classic | ePirat
[20:20] <unclemantis> soreau /usr/bin/env ruby /home/unclemantis/rails_projects/raffle2/script/rails runner 'UserTransactionsController.new.test'
[20:21] <xgt001> soreau: i tried the same method on my intel graphics based desktop, works perfectly fine
[20:21] <ePirat> thx
[20:21] <unclemantis> when i paste that line into the cli it runs fine
[20:21] <soreau> xgt001: Does it work if you try booting with radeon.dontloadme=1 (as a kernel parameter)?
[20:21] <iamapickle> soreau: been doing a lot of hard shutdown, i.e. power off
[20:22] <soreau> unclemantis: ruby? How is it supposed to know where that is
[20:22] <xgt001> soreau: i dont know exactly how to use radeon parameter in boot options could you help?
[20:22] <ePirat> o_O
[20:22] <unclemantis> i told it
[20:22] <unclemantis> oh...
[20:22] <ePirat> wow that really "classic"
[20:22] <unclemantis> dang it
[20:22] <unclemantis> hold on
[20:22] <unclemantis> how do i find where ruby is?
[20:22] <soreau> unclemantis: What is the output of 'which ruby'?
[20:22] <hemika> xgt001, that doesn't work. sudo halt shuts down my compter
[20:22] <SeanB94> soreau:  here is the link to the file that is now giveing me the problem
[20:22] <SeanB94> https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B7Y0twvQz6GhNGJlZDZlM2QtMDk4ZC00NzE0LTk4MGUtMGJkOTcxNDJlMDFk&hl=en_US&authkey=CK-ktNMP
[20:23] <unclemantis> tjam upi
[20:23] <hemika> hey, can anyone please tell me how to create a shortcut key?
[20:23] <unclemantis> thank you
[20:23] <soreau> SeanB94: That is not helpful
[20:23] <edbian> hemika: What do you want it to do?
[20:23] <soreau> SeanB94: You need to show output of whatever command you're running
[20:23] <MrUnagi> how do i open port 143 in ubuntu
[20:23] <hemika> edbian, it should shut down
[20:23] <SeanB94> sean@ubuntu:~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
[20:23] <SeanB94> dpkg: parse error, in file '/var/lib/dpkg/updates/0128' near line 0: field name `
[20:23] <Kuehlschrank> MrUnagi: for what specific reason?
[20:23] <soreau> SeanB94: But like I said, I don't know what's wrong and you're really just wasting time by not testing tried and true methods such as reinstalling ubuntu
[20:23] <unclemantis> well that is still not working
[20:23] <iamapickle> soreau: i know only one can access it but the issue was that i interupted xterm by closing down the X window manager and the process wasnt in ps aux so it was locked up
[20:23] <wsagent> safe: enter your user ID and password then startc
[20:24] <soreau> iamapickle: So where are you at now?
[20:24] <unclemantis> do i need /user/bin/env?
[20:24] <unclemantis> do i need /usr/bin/env?
[20:24] <xgt001> hemika: basically in gnome 2 i used to create a launcher then input the sudo halt command in the shortcut so that it would shut down upon hitting the shortcut, no clue about gnome 3 :(
[20:24] <iamapickle> soreau: i powered down and then powered up but the thing is i know there is a way to free that thing up somehow, there is a command for it
[20:25] <soreau> iamapickle: Yes but you're just beating around the bush. What command are you running and what is the output?
[20:25] <hemika> xgt001, okay, thanks
[20:25] <MrUnagi> Kuehlschrank: to serve imap
[20:26] <Kuehlschrank> MrUnagi: Have you enabled any firewalls?
[20:26] <MrUnagi> iptables
[20:26] <iamapickle> soreau: no, i was trying to see if anyone knew that command so next time i wouldnt have to hard reboot because i have lost the OS twice in the past two days
[20:26] <unclemantis> soreau i am using this and it is not firing.....    * * * * * /usr/bin/env /home/unclemantis/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p180/bin/ruby /home/unclemantis/rails_projects/raffle2/script/rails runner 'UserTransactionsController.new.test'
[20:26] <soreau> unclemantis: What is 'runner' here?
[20:26] <iamapickle> soreau: my real issue is udev error on boot
[20:27] <unclemantis> soreau runner is an attribute
[20:27] <maheanuu> How do I change the open command to the default, it is now hung on image viewer?
[20:27] <soreau> unclemantis: Should work then, give it 5 minutes or more
[20:27] <unclemantis> that echo and date thing worked instantly
[20:27] <oCean> unclemantis: append 2>/tmp/error.log to capture error messages
[20:27] <Kuehlschrank> MrUnagi: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-iptables-13-how-to-allowopen-imap-serverprotocol.html
[20:28] <SeanB94> i just deleted that file and got this error now
[20:28] <SeanB94> sean@ubuntu:~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
[20:28] <SeanB94> dpkg: parse error, in file '/var/lib/dpkg/updates/0129' near line 0: EOF during value of field `rites"' (missing final newline)
[20:28] <oCean> SeanB94: have you fixed your filesystem problem?
[20:28] <MrUnagi> i followed that exact guide and the thing still wont open
[20:28] <unclemantis> put  2>/tmp/error.log at the end of the command line?
[20:28] <unclemantis> $sController.new.test' 2>/tmp/error.log
[20:28] <oCean> unclemantis: yes. Errors will go to that file
[20:28] <MrUnagi> not to mention i also get -bash: /etc/init.d/iptables: No such file or directory
[20:29] <soreau> SeanB94: So just add a newline at the end of the file? (just go to the very end of the file at the end of the last line and press enter)
[20:29] <unclemantis> hey, ruby errors! sweet!
[20:29] <unclemantis> this is going to help.
[20:29] <unclemantis> Thank you
[20:29] <pvh_sa> hey, does ubuntu  11.04 have MTP support over Bluetooth?
[20:29] <oCean> unclemantis: there you go :)
[20:29] <soreau> unclemantis: The trick is, cron has an extremely minimal environment so you have to tell it everything like full paths and environment variables
[20:30] <cyperbg> please help me - Ubuntu doesn't want to connect to my Wifi network and when it does it disconnects again
[20:30] <unclemantis> this is the error /home/unclemantis/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p180/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require': no such file to load -- bundler/setup (LoadError)
[20:30] <unclemantis> ugh
[20:30] <cyperbg> how can I find out what is wrong
[20:30] <cyperbg> please
[20:31] <oCean> unclemantis: now is time to /join #ruby I think
[20:31] <unclemantis> so now i have a ruby issue. I will move to #ruby and leave you folks alone :). Thank you for the help
[20:31] <unclemantis> oCean right on. Thanks again :)
[20:31] <MrUnagi> i give up
[20:31] <oCean> unclemantis: sure, good luck
[20:31] <cyperbg> oCean help please
[20:31] <SeanB94> sean@ubuntu:~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
[20:31] <SeanB94> dpkg: parse error, in file '/var/lib/dpkg/updates/0129' near line 1: missing package name
[20:31] <Kuehlschrank> MrUnagi: Does it work with iptables disabled?
[20:31] <maheanuu> #windows XP
[20:32] <oCean> SeanB94: really, have you fixed your filesystem issues?
[20:32] <SeanB94> nope
[20:32] <MrUnagi> how do you disable iptables
[20:32] <oCean> SeanB94: fix that first
[20:32] <SeanB94> im not sure how 2
[20:32] <oCean> SeanB94: all the files you are downloading for updates might get corrupted on that filesystem.
[20:33] <oCean> SeanB94: so make that your first goal: to fix the filesystem. There's plenty of help here
[20:33] <edbian> MrUnagi: You cannot turn it off.  You can only clear all the rules it has using sudo iptables -F
[20:33] <maheanuu> I have downloaded XP Live CD and for some reason when I to open it I am bringing up a Photo Viewer, how do I get back to a file viewer?
[20:34] <Kuehlschrank> MrUnagi: wait...you told me that there is no /etc/init.d/iptables ?
[20:34] <oCean> cyperbg: sorry, I have no clue about that wireless issue. Have some patience, then in 15 minutes or so ask your question again. Try to give details (make/model and what you have tried so far to fix it etc)
[20:34] <MrUnagi> correct
[20:34] <SeanB94> ok now how would i go about fixing my filesystem
[20:34] <Lawlcat> I installed vsftp and I'm wondering, is there a way I can set specific folders a user can access? I know by uncommenting chroot_local_user I can limit them to their home directory, but I have a special directory that I would like certain users to be able to use, and only that directory, whereas I would like some others to have open access
[20:34] <Kuehlschrank> MrUnagi: But you are sure that you have iptables enabled?
[20:34] <oCean> !fsck | SeanB94
[20:34] <cyperbg> ok I will wait
[20:34] <SeanB94> ive done that
[20:34] <edbian> MrUnagi: Kuehlschrank use sudo iptables -L   to see any rules
[20:35] <soreau> SeanB94: Backup and reinstall ubuntu
[20:35] <MrUnagi> i am sure enough that when i add to the chain iptables -L lists the added rule
[20:35] <oCean> SeanB94: if you don't know what the exact state of your current installation is, then soreau's option is a good one
[20:36] <MrUnagi> i think im good now
[20:36] <vegeta> hello
[20:36] <vegeta> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5cxHn4LEmk&feature=related
[20:36] <SeanB94> ok now where would i find the backup manager
[20:36] <JoshDreamland> So, am I the only person on the planet experiencing window management bugs?
[20:36] <Kuehlschrank> MrUnagi: What happens if you do nc <yourimapserver> 143 ?
[20:36] <vegeta> funny video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5cxHn4LEmk&feature=related
[20:36] <edbian> !ot
[20:37] <grungekid> !info lm-sensors
[20:37] <JoshDreamland> If I click that spam link, for instance, Firefox will pop up, but it won't be made the topmost window; it'll just be drawn once on top
[20:37] <MrUnagi> Kuehlschrank: it appears to be working now
[20:37] <JAWC> cyperbg, wpa2, hidden ssid, and network-manager?
[20:37] <SeanB94> !backup manager
[20:38] <SeanB94> !backup
[20:38] <Kuehlschrank> MrUnagi: Ok..
[20:38] <cyperbg> JAWC: encryption is WPA/WPA2, the SSID is not hidden and what about the nbetwork manager?
[20:38] <Kuehlschrank> MrUnagi: I guess iptables needed a restart to accept the new rules...
[20:38] <cyperbg> my Windows machine connects successfully to the same wifi network using the same exact USB wifi dongle
[20:39] <cyperbg> I have the feeling Ubuntu doesn't like WPA encryption? But it worked 2 days ago
[20:39] <IdleOne> jjovereats: the mute has been removed.
[20:39] <MrUnagi> i think it was a bad dovecot setting
[20:40] <Kuehlschrank> MrUnagi: ok
[20:41] <JAWC> cyperbg, setting wpa/wpa2 & broadcasting ssid was my workaround (at least those were what I changed). Mine does seem to take about 10-15 minutes to decide to connect though.
[20:42] <cyperbg> mine is set like that
[20:42] <cyperbg> the connection is very unstable
[20:43] <cyperbg> i tried pinging <IP_ADDRESS> and it was successful
[20:43] <cyperbg> but pinging a domain was not
[20:43] <cyperbg> but the router supplies the DNS
[20:43] <soreau> cyperbg: You probably don't have a nameserver set
[20:43] <Carlos> I need some help in a C error.  However, sometimes it gives the following error "malloc(): memory corruption:" and I can't understand why it works sometimes and others it just exit with that error
[20:43] <cyperbg> I use DHCP
[20:43] <soreau> cyperbg: What is set for nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf?
[20:43] <cyperbg> one moment
[20:44] <oCean> Carlos: try ##c
[20:44] <rhizmoe> what's best practice for troubleshooting audio? can i rename or alias "hw:0,2" ?
[20:44] <Carlos> I cannot join that channel
[20:44] <SeanB94> !sbackup
[20:45] <cyperbg> soreau, it is the IP address of the router as it should be
[20:45] <SeanB94> !universe
[20:45] <lolcat> Is it hard to setup a print server?
[20:45] <oCean> Carlos: that does not make it an #ubuntu issue.
[20:45] <oCean> !register | Carlos
[20:45] <Carlos> thank you
[20:46] <soreau> cyperbg: Hmm.. does it work if you try <IP_ADDRESS> instead?
[20:46] <cyperbg> yes I managed to ping <IP_ADDRESS>
[20:46] <SeanB94> !cloning
[20:46] <cyperbg> but the connectionh drops all the time
[20:47] <cyperbg> soreau, maybe I should reinstall the OS?
[20:47] <boston617> hi
[20:47] <cyperbg> or at least bring it back to factory defaults? Is there such a command?
[20:47] <soreau> cyperbg: That seems a bit extreme.. but to each their own
[20:47] <Lawlcat> I installed vsftp and I'm wondering, is there a way I can set specific folders a user can access? I know by uncommenting chroot_local_user I can limit them to their home directory, but I have a special directory that I would like certain users to be able to use, and only that directory, whereas I would like some others to have open access
[20:48] <soreau> cyperbg: How re you connecting? wired or wireless?
[20:48] <SeanB94> ok soreau  what would be the easiest way to backup
[20:48] <cyperbg> wireless
[20:48] <JAWC> cyperbg,  DNS resolution stops, or the wifi connection drops?
[20:48] <cyperbg> the wifi connection
[20:48] <cyperbg> it disconnects all the time
[20:48] <soreau> ! backup | SeanB94
[20:49] <soreau> SeanB94: usually it's sufficient to copy to backup /home
[20:49] <SeanB94> !automate
[20:49] <JAWC> cyperbg, and the router isn't rebooting itself randomly?
[20:50] <ckiraly> how do i determine where my cdrom is located in ubuntu/
[20:50] <ckiraly> ?
[20:50] <SeanB94> i dont have anywhere to put my home dictinary well i reinstall
[20:51] <cyperbg> no, I'm currently writing from my Windows machine, connected to that router
[20:51] <Cradam> dictionary...its a directory ...
[20:51] <SeanB94> ok then directory
[20:52] <JAWC> cyperbg, have you tried bumping up the transmission power, disabling power saving, et cetera?
[20:52] <BluesKaj> ckiraly, nautilus>places>root>media
[20:52] <cyperbg> I haven't as I'am a linux newbie
[20:52] <heniek> witam
[20:52] <cyperbg> I will just reinstall
[20:53] <heniek> welcome
[20:53] <cyperbg> it looks like that is the easiest option
[20:55] <bbonora-vaio> I have a LAMP server running with the latest version of Ubuntu. I have set the servers date to use PDT and configured my php.ini file to use PDT yet when I run the date function in php it says the timezone is set to UTC. Does anybody know why this is occurring and how to change it.
[20:55] <ckiraly> i'm trying to figure out where my cdrom is located in ubuntu so I can map it to WINE ( since its not auto detecting )
[20:56] <ckiraly> missed that Blues - nothing in media shows my cdrom
[20:56] <tensorpudding> bbonora-vaio: you should probably ask in a channel devoted to php
[20:56] <maheanuu> I am trying to open a downloaded file and Image Viewer is what is trying to open it, it is NOT an image but a application, how do I get away from the image viewer as the default file manager?
[20:56] <iridium> ckiraly, your cdrom must be mounted to be shown
[20:56] <bbonora-vaio> word
[20:57] <ckiraly> it should be mounted - i put an audio cd in the drive and the audio cd icon is appearing on my desktop
[20:57] <wsagent> help needed : is there any software like Hotspot Shield for ubuntu ? almost all the usefuk websites are blocked out here buy thr Gov
[20:57] <BluesKaj> ckiraly, load a disk , /media/cdrom in the runbox
[20:57] <ckiraly> and its playing right now
[20:58] <soreau> ckiraly: Run 'mount' and possibly grep for cd
[20:58] <iridium> ckiraly, if it is cdaudio then isn't mounted
[20:58] <ckiraly> if i cd /media/cdrom I get no such file or directory
[20:58] <iridium> and there's no need
[20:58] <iridium> insert a data CD
[20:59] <Lasers> ckiraly: Sometimes in /dev/cd (or /dev/dvd) -- I'd tell you but I'm not on linux right now.
[20:59] <ckiraly> ok - sticking in a windows program install cd
[20:59] <iridium> Lasers, she's listening an audio cd, these ones never are mounted
[21:00] <PythonSnake> hi
[21:00] <ckiraly> ok - there is now an icon on the desktop for peachtree accounting ( which is the cd I stuck in the drive )
[21:00] <iridium> usually is on /media/cdrom
[21:01] <grungekid> hey guys
[21:01] <ckiraly> ok - that created a directory in media for Peachtree
[21:01] <grungekid> is there an irc channel for ubuntu games?
[21:01] <oCean> /dev/sr0 actually, the rest just link to that
[21:01] <oCean> grungekid: there is #ubuntugames, but I don't know if anyone is there
[21:02] <BluesKaj> ckiraly, ususlly alt+f2 /media/cdrom will open a folder
[21:02] <BlouBlou> grungekid: I don't think so, but you can talk about it on #ubuntu-offtopic
[21:02] <grungekid> ah okies cheers
[21:02] <maheanuu> Can anyone please tell me why Image Viewer is trying to open an application file I just downloaded????   How do I change this ????????
[21:03] <soreau> maheanuu: What application did you download?
[21:03] <maheanuu> I downloaded Windows XP Live as I am having a problem with an external NTFS drive and I needed to run chkdsk /f
[21:04] <maheanuu> soreau,  I meant the one above for you
[21:04] <_pale_> irssi qusetion!!how to color nicknames which are mentioned by any channel member?
[21:05] <Scott0> anyone know of a document management solution for linux? not looking for checkin and checkout but more for  digital home filing cabinet
[21:06] <ckiraly> Blues - alt+f2 /media/cdrom gives me an error
[21:06] <maheanuu> I started having probs with an external 1.5 Tb drive yesterday and it is telling me that I need to run chkdsk /f  and since i do not use any machine with windoze I had to download a LIVE disk
[21:06] <maheanuu> soreau, did you see my last few posts?
[21:07] <iridium> NTFS + Linux = constant headache
[21:07] <ckiraly> it seems that whatever I put into the cd/dvd drive - it creates a folder for that in media - so - for example, I just put in a dvd with a bunch of avi files on ie, and it make a folder named /media/ARK0001 (which is the disc name when I burned it )
[21:07] <iridium> actually, yes
[21:07] <Chipzzz> ckiraly: did you try to check the drive with fsck?
[21:08] <ckiraly> when I ran fsck it tried to access my two mounted hard drives
[21:08] <Chipzzz> (the 1.5 TB drive)
[21:08] <soreau> maheanuu: I fail to see how this has anything to do with ubuntu
[21:08] <ckiraly> but did not attempt anything on the dvd drive
[21:08] <iamapickle> is subversion or git faster than compiling or is that all the same thing
[21:09] <soreau> iamapickle: Compared to what?
[21:10] <maheanuu> I am getting the error in UBUNTU soreau, that is why I am here I am running Ubuntu and I have downloaded the app but it is trying to open in Image Viewer in UBUNTU doe that make any sense to you????????
[21:10] <Chipzzz> ckiraly: you should be able to check/repair the 1.5 Tb drive with fsck & avoid the problem with running window$ live
[21:10] <iamapickle> soreau: comapred to ./configure, make, make install
[21:10] <io> iamapickle: neither compile anything
[21:10] <soreau> iamapickle: git and svn are revision tools. ie. they are responsible for managing files and changes, typically in a directory containing source code
[21:10] <io> iamapickle: you still need to do that
[21:10] <PythonSnake> does ubuntu need defragmenting ?
[21:10] <maheanuu> Maybe you cane now see why I am asking how to do something please work a little with me
[21:10] <iridium> PythonSnake, no
[21:10] <io> !defrag | PythonSnake
[21:11] <soreau> iamapickle: So you use these tools to gain access to a revision of a source repo, then build it with whatever configuration and build tools it requires
[21:11] <PythonSnake> ok thx
[21:11] <jordanmoore> Anybody successfully running the Pino Twitter client in 11.04? (I'm a n00b please don't bite, also my first ever IRC chat thingy)
[21:11] <jethrot> After doing an upgrade (do-release-upgrade) GRUB is not loading, help!
[21:12] <C_Smith> hey, is there an Xfire plugin for Empathy, or is Pidgin the only IM that has one?
[21:12] <maheanuu> Can anyone tell me how to keep the IMAGE VIEWER  from opening on a download file that is not a image or photo???????
[21:12] <edbian> jethrot: Boot a live CD and run sudo update-grub
[21:12] <io> maheanuu: probably something to do with it recognising itself as the default application for that file type
[21:12] <iamapickle> soreau: the file is only 8 Mb compressed but takes forever
[21:12] <edbian> maheanuu: right click the file, open with..., untick the box 'remember this'
[21:13] <BluesKaj> .
[21:13] <soreau> iamapickle: What file?
[21:13] <iamapickle> soreau: webkitgtk+, i need the latest version to configure html5 with epiphany
[21:14] <soreau> iamapickle: Ah, in that case yes. Use the revision tool to download the source, then configure it and compile/install
[21:14] <Arseface> I have a question about accessing network drives.  I have a NAS device, and I find that if I navigate to it via the "network" icon, it maps with an address beginning with "smb://" and my file transfer speeds are over twice as fast as if I map it like any other drive using sudo mount -t cifs -o uid=1000 //<share> /<mountpoint>
[21:15] <Arseface> has anyone else seen a disparity in transfer speeds like this?
[21:15] <iamapickle> soreau: or to get the plugin to work, some where some how i found a web page about how the latest webkitgtk+ can do html5 and youtube video
[21:15] <compdoc> isnt cifs = samba = windows shares?
[21:15] <jethrot> edbian it is a VPS
[21:15] <Arseface> I think so
[21:15] <iamapickle> soreau: they have a nightly build tarball, i just was hoping to get around having to compile the thing
[21:15] <rxb> i'd like to find someone who can work on developing a driver for Aardvark sound cards with me
[21:15] <Arseface> it's a WD NAS device
[21:16] <th0r> maheanuu: right click on that file, choose Properties, and set the program you wish to use as the default for it
[21:16] <soreau> iamapickle: Nah, the only way to get around building it is if they offer a precompiled binary (ie. deb package)
[21:16] <Arseface> if I mount it with that command, I can connect to it fine, but the transfer speeds are less than half of what I get if I navigate to it via the "network" icon
[21:17] <iamapickle> soreau: those never work for me, usually only x86 and amd
[21:17] <BluesKaj> Arseface, ssh/scp transfer speeds are much faster than smb/samba
[21:17] <BluesKaj> or cifs
[21:18] <Arseface> when I connect via the "network" icon, it maps it as "smb://<share>
[21:18] <Arseface> "
[21:18] <soreau> iamapickle: Well that's how it works. You use revision tools to get the source (git, svn, bzr, hg etc.) then build the source and from that, you can optionally create a distro package
[21:18] <Arseface> if I want to mount it normally, what should my command line look like, instead of using cifs?
[21:19] <maheanuu> th0r, when I rt click on the downloads folder it opens "eye of gnome image viewer"
[21:20] <jethrot> After doing an upgrade (do-release-upgrade) GRUB is not loading, help!  how do you do this for a vps
[21:20] <BluesKaj> Arseface, using nas as a media source or file backup/sync ?
[21:20] <rxb123> test
[21:21] <guntbert> rxb123: use #test for testing please
[21:21] <Arseface> I bought it as a media source
[21:21] <rxb123> ok, dunno if this posted before because my rc client borked....
[21:21] <Arseface> just noticing different speeds when uploading media files to the drive
[21:21] <maheanuu> th0r, I cant get that far///
[21:21] <rxb123> but i'm trying to find what the best place / resources are to find people who can point me in the right direction for developing drivers for Aardvark sound cards
[21:22] <th0r> maheanuu: are you using nautilus? gnome?
[21:23] <maheanuu> th0r, Being a noob, I am not sure which
[21:23] <rxb123> anyone have a good idea?
[21:23] <edbian> maheanuu: Did you try right click -> open with ??
[21:24] <maheanuu> Yes and when I right click it automatically tries to open with no "properties or anything to change"
[21:24] <rxb123> that would be a left click
[21:24] <maheanuu> edbian, sorry that was for you
[21:25] <maheanuu> I am trying to learn but there are just too many things happening at once
[21:25] <th0r> maheanuu: what happens if you try to click with the other mouse button?
[21:25] <maheanuu> th0r,  the same thing
[21:25] <edbian> maheanuu: what?  Can you make a screenshot and upload it to imageshack.us  ?
[21:25] <edbian> maheanuu: ur doing fine
[21:25] <rxb123> hrm, custom mouse click mapping....
[21:27] <maheanuu> edbian, When I go to /places/downloads and rt. c lk on it it opens up eye of gnome image viewer instead of the download folder
[21:27] <rxb123> any channel which is full of uber geeks with ideas on building drivers without a reasonable ammount of resources
[21:27] <rxb123> cuz i really wana get these sound cards up on ubuntu
[21:28] <edbian> maheanuu: So you're trying to open a folder and it's trying to use eye of gnome to view it (obviously wrong)
[21:28] <jethrot> edbian: we are seeing a crazy screen
[21:28] <guntbert> rxb123: I don't know, but *this* channel is strictly for ubuntu support - try to ask in #ubuntu-offtopic

[21:32] <vandemar> on a ubuntu 11.04 system with two nics, a motorola surfboard 5101 intermitantly fails to provide dhcp responses.  leaving the computer on is no problem, it gets dhcp renewals, but typically after leaving it off overnight dhcp requests aren't responded to again, and some tweaking involving power cycling the cablemodem or switching from one ethernet port to another is required to get it responding again.  has anyone seen this?
[21:32] <chaddy> wsagent: http://www.bestfreevpn.com/
[21:32] <edbian> jethrot: IDK what to tell you.  Additionally, you version of Ubuntu looks very out of date

[21:33] <coldpizza72i> how do i enable root in ubuntu
[21:33] <edbian> jethrot: no no,  I mean.  It's not old.  To fix the problem you must boot a live CD
[21:33] <edbian> of that I'm sure

[21:35] <lachfome> howto blocking an IP with iptables in ubuntu / or how i can start or stop iptables
[21:35] <io> !iptables | lachfome
[21:36] <compdoc> theres a nice gui for ufw
[21:36] <vandemar> ufw is overly simplistic.  iptables isn't really an alternative, ufw is just a layer on top of iptables
[21:36] <vandemar> if simple is what you're looking for then it's good.  otherwise it may give you headaches
[21:37] <compdoc> so complicated has fewer headaches?
[21:37] <edbian> If you understand the details then using ufw would be overly simplistic and annoying
[21:38] <lachfome> I used this command to block ip <IP_ADDRESS> " ufw deny from <IP_ADDRESS> " but ...
[21:39] <smmsadrnezh> I Installed playonlinux on ubuntu 10.04 and it dropped when It tried to download from sourceforg because it's closed in my country
[21:40] <smmsadrnezh> and I can't unistall it. I can't upgrade. I can't open synaptic
[21:40] <smmsadrnezh> This is a very bad situation. Plz HELP me
[21:40] <vandemar> compdoc: if you're trying to do something the very simple ufw model can't handle, then yes
[21:41] <io> lachfome: you want to block <IP_ADDRESS> but you denied <IP_ADDRESS>?
[21:42] <lachfome> io: Sorry , I used this command to block ip <IP_ADDRESS> " ufw deny from <IP_ADDRESS> " but ...

[21:45] <mk> how can I remove unity, and go back to whatever I had before?
[21:45] <maheanuu> I know it but you asked
[21:45] <maheanuu> soreau, you asked and I told you.....
[21:46] <soreau> maheanuu: yea sorry to mislead you
[21:46] <maheanuu> I am still trying to open the goddamn windoze live disk........
[21:46] <soreau> maheanuu: Oh that.. what file format is it?
[21:47] <coldpizza72i> is it possible to write a script with a screen command that splits the window etc
[21:47] <maheanuu> Have i TOLD you all just how much I hate windoze????   The file format is NTFS
[21:47] <BluesKaj> probly an iso
[21:47] <mk> (alternatively, how can I fix unity's horrible dual-screen support, as well as the inconsistent menu-bar placement?)
[21:47] <html-inprogress> mk,lol you dont like it ? lol join the "crowd" XD lol
[21:48] <maheanuu> I am trying to get to the ISO i downloaded and the damn image viewer wants to open everything including the zipper on my shorts
[21:48] <vandemar> maheanuu: ntfs is the filesystem type, not the file format
[21:48] <Poptisse> I can't locate easy-rsa directory "First, copy the easy-rsa directory to /etc/openvpn." - https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/openvpn.html How can I follow that command without first knowing where it is ha ha
[21:48] <soreau> mk: use ubuntu classic :P
[21:48] <MK``> How is the progress on fixing the power regression?
[21:48] <OerHeks> there is no such thing as a windows live disk, legally
[21:48] <soreau> maheanuu: lmao
[21:48] <html-inprogress> maheanuu,  what do you need help with ?
[21:49] <mk> I think it's a good shot at a better interface, and I very much like that they're not trying to just copy windows, but... if I move windows across screens, the program crashes, and so on
[21:49] <eFfeM> hi got into a strange problem with 11.04, gnome ui, installed a week ago, was working fine for a few days but now it does not start X automatically, instead I need to log in on a console and run startx (and then all works fine) anyone an idea? Can't find anything in the log
[21:49] <mk> MK``: imposter
[21:49] <maheanuu> Oh, then how come I found one That IS LIVE??????????
[21:49] <soreau> maheanuu: It's probably just set wrong in sys>prefs>preferred applications
[21:49] <mk> soreau: how would I use ubuntu classic?
[21:49] <th0r> maheanuu: you will not be able to 'open' a .iso file directly
[21:49] <MK``> Haha mk
[21:49] <mk> I'd prefer not to reinstall from scratch
[21:50] <guntbert> !classic | mk
[21:50] <soreau> maheanuu: If you're using unity, try running gnome-default-applications-properties
[21:50] <soreau> ! classic | mk
[21:50] <maheanuu> thor it is a compressed file, And until I get to It I cannot know what format it is
[21:51] <mk> ah, that sounds easy. How do I make that the default option (or will it be default after the first time I do it)?
[21:51] <th0r> maheanuu: if the name ends in .iso, which I suspect it does, you will need to 'mount' it as a drive. And you will not be able to run it. Your best bet will be to install it in virtualbox
[21:51] <soreau> maheanuu: You probably already have it..
[21:51] <mk> and can it be set up for automatic login?
[21:51] <soreau> maheanuu: Check /tmp/ and ~/Downloads/ for the file
[21:51] <maheanuu> When I go to /places/downloads I get the gnome image viewer opening or trying to open shit
[21:52] <soreau> mk: Sure, just log out, then select classic and log back in. It should save this setting even if you have autologin enabled
[21:52] <guntbert> maheanuu: please mind your language
[21:52] <html-inprogress> mk, like what ? im still lost on what you said,
[21:52] <soreau> maheanuu: Do it from terminal: ls ~/Downloads /tmp
[21:52] <maheanuu> I have found the file in downloads, but I cannot get to it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[21:53] <mk> soreau: ah - logging out didn't occur to me. Thanks
[21:53] <soreau> mahe: What are you trying to do with it?
[21:53] <soreau> mk: np
[21:53] <MK``> mk: Go to System settings - Login screen
[21:53] <th0r> maheanuu: what happens if you go to Places-<username> and then try to get into Downloads from there
[21:53] <soreau> maheanuu: What are you trying to do with the file?
[21:53] <MK``> that will let change those settings
[21:54] <html-inprogress> maheanuu, a live "ms"  os ? i know there are one out there.... but what do you have?and whats the name
[21:54] <soreau> MK``: It will let you select classic mode?
[21:54] <mk> MK``: that's even better, thanks
[21:54] <MK``> soreau yes, it lists the session types in a dropdown same as on the login screen for you to pick as the default entry
[21:54] <mk> soreau: yes, as well as "classic (no effects)"
[21:55] <mk> hopefully my old classic settings are preserved
[21:55] <soreau> MK``: mk: oh ok.. are you guys one and the same? :P
[21:55] <MK``> Upgrading to 11.04 broke a few of my classic settings, but overall is fine.
[21:55] <soreau> mk: Preserved from what?
[21:55] <mk> no, I'm mk, he's mk-prime-prime
[21:55] <MK``> For example, my gnome panel does not retain my theme 50% of the time and uses the default gtk+ theme instead, I have no found a way to fix this
[21:56] <maheanuu> html-inprogress, the name is "Windows XP SP3 live
[21:56] <maheanuu> "
[21:57] <mk> soreau: well, for example, one of my laptops has a crack that took out the top 15 pixels of the screen. To solve this, I put a blank 15px toolbar there. This keeps the V^X buttons visible.
[21:57] <maheanuu> I do not have time for 20 questions, I am ready to quit and try the forums.....
[21:57] <soreau> My gnome-panel completely crapped out on me - just shows the panel and nothing on it. I tried resetting, didn't help a bit. Had to switch to cairo-dock
[21:57] <mk> I wouldn't want to have to create that bar after each login.
[21:57] <soreau> And this happened randomly, possibly after some update, out of the blue
[21:58] <BluesKaj> maheanuu, so why are you using a windows cd ...what's the purpose of it ?
[21:58] <mk> is there any way to have ubuntu automatically detect that I've plugged in a certain screen, and restore my settings for that screen?
[21:58] <soreau> mk: In theory, yes
[21:58] <MK``> oh, no mk. Gnome panel will keep those settings. Just don't put 2 panels on the same side, like 2 on top. It tends to crash and need to be reset after that.
[21:58] <BluesKaj> maheanuu, well the forums are really fast if you want to wait weeks for an answer
[21:59] <soreau> mk: Implemented? Poorly if at all
[21:59] <mk> MK``: great, thanks
[21:59] <soreau> maheanuu: What the heck man, what are you trying to do with this file that's being opened by image viewer?
[22:00] <d0x> Hi, i search a simple webui to put some files on. Somethink like dropbox for my ubuntu server
[22:00] <th0r> soreau: he is trying to 'run' a windows install cd from nautilus
[22:00] <mk> soreau: it bothers me every time - I'm sure I'm not the only one who docks a laptop.
[22:00] <soreau> th0r: I don't understand that
[22:00] <d0x> it would be good if it supports apache basic auth
[22:00] <th0r> soreau: actually....he is trying to run the iso of the cd
[22:00] <soreau> th0r: Ok, that's a bit more clear..
[22:00] <OerHeks> maheanuu, maybe you downloaded the sp3 servicepack
[22:01] <soreau> th0r: but it's.. a live cd from what I gather
[22:01] <html-inprogress> maheanuu, unless we can some how magically know whats going on then theres no way but too ask questions and post picsand videos so we can help you
[22:01] <soreau> th0r: So maybe he wants to burn it instead?
[22:01] <anonymous_> hi
[22:01] <Mandrew> is there a Déjà Dup back up tool like software for xfce/ xubuntu?
[22:01] <th0r> soreau: he only knows that he 'needs to run chkdsk' or so the error window says...but I don't know where that error window is coming from
[22:02] <Mitchell92> okay all i fixed the problem on my computer
[22:02] <Mitchell92> it was not at all the GPU
[22:02] <Mitchell92> it was that the UEFI was enabled.
[22:02] <th0r> soreau: and his attitude has managed to turn off those of us who were trying to help. He 'doesn't have time' to answer questions, and can't tell us if he is using nautilus or ?
[22:02] <Mitchell92> I had to disable it now it's installing.
[22:02] <FloodBot1> Mitchell92: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[22:15] <BeholdMyGlory> Hello, a friend seems to be having some problems with X on Ubuntu. There are apparently problems with loading the nvidia driver, this is the contents of Xorg.0.log: http://pastebin.com/0umnzADg  We've tried doing a system upgrade as well as a reinstall of nvidia-current; no luck. I don't know what the error message means by "system's kernel log", we've checked syslog as well as messages, and neither seem to contain any helpful information
[22:15] <casey> BluesKaj: Yes. This was quite awhile ago. Let me point out i've had Ubuntu installed for quite some time now, maybe 7 months. I'm using Maverick if that makes any difference. Also, in the past I have been able to log into WIndows no problem. It was only after Windows wanted to update where this problem came.
[22:16] <RevSpecies116> Was it a Service Pck update to Windows, Casey?
[22:16] <Yukinoroh> how do I install a bunch of *.deb at the same time?
[22:17] <guntbert> Yukinoroh: you should use the package managing system
[22:17] <casey> RevSpecies116: As a matter of fact, I did not check. The update just started automatically because I wasnt paying attention to it and then it did the casual windows threat of "Computer will restart in 15 minutes to complete updates". So it's very well it could have.
[22:17] <RevSpecies116> guntbert: coulda shoulda woulda
[22:18] <guntbert> RevSpecies116: I beg your pardon?
[22:18] <casey> lol
[22:18] <Yukinoroh> guntbert: I want to install separate .deb that I downloaded
[22:18] <RevSpecies116> guntbert: You did not answer the question Yukinoroh was asking - in fact you gave him some flip remark
[22:18] <guntbert> Yukinoroh: are you sure that they are not in the repositories anyway?
[22:18] <paolo_> hello
[22:19] <Yukinoroh> guntbert: I know what I'm doing...
[22:19] <guntbert> RevSpecies116: no, I did give sound advice
[22:19] <Yukinoroh> I've done that with mandriva before except it's not the same command
[22:19] <Yukinoroh> it's not urpmi anymore
[22:19] <RevSpecies116> Yukinoroh: You may have to create a script [long way], or there could be a programme out there that you can drag and drop your debs on
[22:20] <Yukinoroh> I can't just pass a long list of debs to a command?
[22:20] <casey> RevSpecies, BluesKaj: Any ideas?
[22:20] <RevSpecies116> Hmmm, not sure if dpkg supports that from the get go
[22:21] <guntbert> Yukinoroh: sure you can, but see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement
[22:21] <RevSpecies116> casey, you have access to a liveCD of Ubuntu?
[22:21] <casey> RevSpecies116: Sure do. 10.10
[22:21] <casey> (Version i'm using anyways.
[22:22] <RevSpecies116> OKies, now what we need to find out is: if Windows changes the MBR and drops grub off the list
[22:22] <RevSpecies116> is there an easy way to re-enable just grub
[22:22] <RevSpecies116> And I think the answer to that is: yes :)
[22:22] <casey> RevSpecies116: Lol so are you talking about the original grub? And just dropping Grub 2. Or did I lose you?
[22:22] <BluesKaj> casey, take look at "oldfred's" post here  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1539756
[22:23] <casey> BluesKaj: Ok. WIll do. Thanks for tracking that down :).
[22:23] <BluesKaj> casey, I hope it works
[22:24] <RevSpecies116> Sounds like your windows update will mess up Grub2 on next boot, casey? if so, fixing grub2 will be easy - you will not loose 10.10 or your data in the process
[22:24] <html-inprogress> casey, clone /or backup linux and update windows.then put back yoour clone and see if it works ( in thery
[22:24] <RevSpecies116> BUT - as mentioned, casey, a good backup will be good to have just in case
[22:25] <casey> Wow. Step away for a second and suddenly my question took the hotseat lol.
[22:25] <casey> Let me reply one by one.
[22:25] <RevSpecies116> guntbert: I think Yukinoroh knows that if the debs mess up, there will be no support for fixing the error.
[22:26] <casey> BluesKaj: Do you know what the default or recommended drive i should install grub too, just to make sure i have it right?
[22:26] <RevSpecies116> But guntbert, remember that Yukinoroh says they are OK with Linux - so non of this high-falutin 'must use package management' milarky
[22:27] <casey> RevSpecies116: Well windows never fully updates because it cant log back in to do so (After restart). But how will I lose my data? I've actually had to reinstall grub multiple times to fix this already lol (from live cd).
[22:27] <BluesKaj> yeah, casey too many cooks...if you ned to reinstall, , make sure you choose the default ,,, grub will ask you near the end of the install it will recommend it to you  , beause it will detect the windows install and ask about dual boting etc
[22:27] <casey> html-inprogress: I have no idea how to make a clone or put it into theory. But thank you for trying.
[22:28] <casey> BluesKaj: So are you sure about that? In the past, I remember having to actually type in a drive?
[22:29] <HELPNEED> i nneed
[22:30] <HELPNEED> i need as my name already say help
[22:30] <BluesKaj> casey, i'm not talking about partitioning , grub will install by default in the correct place if you choose to do the default
[22:30] <Barnabas> HELPNEED, whats the problem
[22:30] <HELPNEED> my problem is the maximizing of windows
[22:30] <casey> BluesKaj: Thank you for all your help. Let me give it go :).
[22:30] <RevSpecies116> OK - I have an idea :) casey :) BUT it means 'loosing' grub2 for a while ;)
[22:31] <RevSpecies116> Do you have your XP/Vista/7 install CD/DVD?
[22:31] <BluesKaj> casey, unless of course you have windows installed last on the drive
[22:31] <Chipzzz> HELPNEED: what happens when you try?
[22:31] <HELPNEED> my problem is the maximizing of windows
[22:31] <Barnabas> HELPNEED, how is that a problem
[22:31] <HELPNEED> well
[22:31] <HELPNEED> if i try to maximize windows
[22:31] <HELPNEED> if they are at the edge
[22:31] <RevSpecies116> You could repair the windows boot MBR to remove grub2 completely ;)
[22:31] <HELPNEED> they maximizes on another virtual desktop
[22:31] <RevSpecies116> And let Windows do its thing
[22:31] <RevSpecies116> and then when all is said and done, use your liveCD to repair grub
[22:32] <BluesKaj> RevSpecies116, ge already does that each time winows updates, and breaks grub
[22:32] <BluesKaj> he
[22:32] <casey> Oh gosh.
[22:32] <casey> lol
[22:32] <HELPNEED> if i try to maximize windows
[22:32] <HELPNEED> if they are at the edge
[22:32] <HELPNEED> they maximizes on another virtual desktop
[22:33] <casey> RevSpecies116: Unfortunately I have no access to my vista live cd right now.
[22:33] <BluesKaj> casey, , like I said ,,,too many cooks :)
[22:33] <casey> BluesKaj: Oh for sure. And all I want to do is make my chicken noodle soup.
[22:34] <BluesKaj> anyway gotta go for now ...almost dinnertime
[22:34] <casey> BluesKaj: I did reconfigure the grub-pc and i let it choose the default.
[22:34] <visof> hello
[22:34] <el_bb> Hi.
[22:34] <RevSpecies116> BluesKaj: Enjoy food :)
[22:34] <casey> BluesKaj: Hopefully all goes well. Enjoy dinner :). Thanls for the help.
[22:34] <visof> i want to write entry for another os ubuntu can detect ?
[22:34] <casey> *Thanks
[22:34] <el_bb> Is anybody running Ubuntu on a usb drive? I am wondering what the speed penalty is.
[22:34] <html-inprogress> casey,lol well thats always nice to have,, and i was wondering how i fix/reinstall grub on 10.10  too , thanks
[22:34] <visof> i added it in grub.cfg but i need to write entry in /etc/grub.d
[22:35] <visof> please anyone help me
[22:35] <visof> it's installed on /dev/sda1
[22:35] <casey> RevSpecies116: Thanks for all your help as well. I'm going to try letting Windows do its thing.
[22:35] <casey> html-progess: Did your Grub2 break as well?
[22:35] <RevSpecies116> fingers crossed, casey :)
[22:35] <RevSpecies116> visof: Which Ubuntu are you running?
[22:35] <casey> RevSpecies116: If not, i'll fix it again (sigh) and be right back here lol.
[22:36] <RevSpecies116> Indeed, casey ;)
[22:36] <visof> RevSpecies116: 10.10
[22:36] <visof> it's grub2
[22:37] <RevSpecies116> visof, Thanks for that :) I'm sorry, though - I'm not sure if grub2 is that configurable
[22:37] <RevSpecies116> certainly not as 'editable' as grub[1]
[22:38] <RevSpecies116> el_bb - the bus will throttle that
[22:38] <RevSpecies116> But it is entirely possible to run Ubuntu from a USB HDD
[22:39] <desgracia2> rver irc.irc-hispano.org
[22:40] <visof> anyone help please
[22:41] <html-inprogress> el_bb, whatever the max is for the usb port (1.1 12mb about so )

[22:46] <Chipzzz> (actually, sudo htop is better if you have it)
[22:47] <YankDownUnder> Um...ya'all do know that linux/unix/bsd use memory way differently than MS based OS's, right?

[22:50] <YankDownUnder> html-inprogress, Mate, I know - I was joking - hang on a tick - got something...
[22:50] <el_bb> RevSpecies116, html-inprogress: well, yes. :-)  I  wanted to know though, if the system would still be usable for basic stuff, e.g. browsing
[22:50] <el_bb> or if there would be a huge lag
[22:50] <RevSpecies116> el_bb - most certainly
[22:51] <diogo_79> hey
[22:51] <RevSpecies116> most certainly usable

[22:52] <el_bb> RevSpecies116: thanks. I'm gonna order one and test it. :-)
[22:52] <RevSpecies116> BUT, el_bb - if you just wanted to use the distro for browsing [no heavy duty stuff], perhapss a slim distro would be better - like puppy or TinyCore?

[22:54] <YankDownUnder> Lovely...someone on the net as "root"

[22:56] <Afteraffekt> RevSpecies116, reading thanks
[22:57] <el_bb> RevSpecies116: well, the GPUs will be doing a lot work and I'm not sure if I can get the ATI drivers to work on puppy
[22:57] <YankDownUnder> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
[22:57] <RevSpecies116> Ahhh, Ubuntu would be your best bet, the el_bb :)
[22:57] <RevSpecies116> the el_bb = then el_bb ;)
[22:57] <Afteraffekt> RevSpecies116, I am on Fedora, so I dont think this will work, you guys are just better at helping with grub problems
[22:57] <tjiggi_fo> Afteraffekt, install Startup Manager, find it in System > Admin and set your boot order from there
[22:58] <RevSpecies116> You may want to try #fedora Afteraffekt
[22:58] <Afteraffekt> tjiggi_fo, its not a boot order, its actually editing grub to see it
[22:58] <tjiggi_fo> ah, dunno if fedora has it
[22:58] <Afteraffekt> i dont want to install any more software to do this, editing grub.conf should be enough
[22:59] <tjiggi_fo> yep
[22:59] <el_bb> RevSpecies116: :-) thanks
[22:59] <RevSpecies116> I don't think grub2 has a editable grub.conf :)
[22:59] <Afteraffekt> i just have wrong numbers i know
[22:59] <Afteraffekt> RevSpecies116, using Grub1
[22:59] <YankDownUnder> "Grub Legacy"
[22:59] <guntbert> Afteraffekt: grub1? then edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[22:59] <tamer> Chipzzz, sudo htop gives me many instances of each process, the sum of memory usage is over 100% !
[23:00] <edgy> Hi, when I create .deb file, I guess I put my name as the maintainer, but where can I put the author of the prog itself?

[23:00] <Chipzzz> tamer: is it a multi-core cpu?
[23:00] <mrdeb> every linux tools shows different memory use
[23:00] <mrdeb> its confusing
[23:00] <tamer> Chiliblue, yes
[23:00] <guntbert> Afteraffekt: sorry, I didn't read back :)
[23:00] <YankDownUnder> HELPNEED, http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/change-settings-ubuntu-unity-compizconfig-settings-manager/
[23:01] <tamer> guntbert, thanks for the clarification. I referred to the website. Now I know less of my memory is consumed, but still there is an unreported part I am looking for.
[23:01] <[_margoo_]> hi all
[23:02] <guntbert> tamer: I suggest you let the kernel do it's thing - I never tried to add it all up
[23:02] <RevSpecies116> Afteraffekt Let me see - should be an easy thing to do in 'Grug Legacy', grub1, though ;)
[23:03] <YankDownUnder> tamer, If your system is becoming basically unusable, and something seems to be consuming not only memory, but process as well, things are deathly slow, THEN I'd start to worry, and also start to inspect...
[23:03] <Chipzzz> tamer: if you put the system monitor applet in your taskbar, you can see how much of the ram is used for programs & how much for cache
[23:03] <ruggz> hi
[23:03] <ruggz> i'm drunk
[23:03] <ruggz> lets fuck
[23:03] <FloodBot1> ruggz: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[23:04] <tamer> Chipzzz, I have it already.
[23:04] <ruggr> ok?
[23:04] <guntbert> tamer: although system monitor itself consumes a big chunk of resources
[23:04] <tamer> guntbert, what annoys me is that  I have 4 GBs of RAM, and yet I manage to full the memory and things get slower then.
[23:04] <RevSpecies116> Afteraffekt: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/how-do-i-add-windows-xp-to-grub-boot-loader-375198/ May help
[23:04] <Chipzzz> tamer: is it showing over 100%?
[23:05] <no_face> I love ubuntu (just thought i'd say that)
[23:05] <tamer> Chipzzz, no, I was referring to htop only.
[23:05] <RevSpecies116> I love Ubuntu too - Will love 12.04LTS even better when it comes out :)
[23:05] <Chipzzz> tamer: does top show the same?
[23:06] <guntbert> tamer: get used to it: a system has to use a great part of its resources, so you will see most memory put to some "work" - what are you running that "things get slower"?
[23:06] <no_face> yee, i'm a LTS man myself too
[23:06] <Golgo007> going to try ubuntu 10.10 64 bit so bbl
[23:06] <YankDownUnder> guntbert, He did mention that the system was slowing down...
[23:06] <mrdeb> why is he trying 10.10
[23:07] <jingo255> I made a separate partition, can I do a full install with wubi?
[23:07] <jingo255> the cd does not work
[23:07] <mrdeb> dont do it with ubi
[23:07] <no_face> lol, try... shouldn't he say. "i'm going to run ubuntu 10.10 in VM
[23:07] <mrdeb> use a usb stick
[23:07] <tamer> Chipzzz, yes
[23:07] <jingo255> I tried usb stick, it doesn't work
[23:07] <mrdeb> what are you saing. i think you know what i mean
[23:07] <mrdeb> jingo255: it works
[23:07] <html-inprogress> no_face, me to ,  what about that you like ?
[23:08] <jingo255> I did the directions on the ubuntu site, put the iso on usb, changed boot settings to removable devices, it just bypasses it and loads windows
[23:08] <mrdeb> jingo255: you are not selecting the right boot
[23:08] <Chipzzz> tamer: the multi-cores are probably confusing it... actual is probably (Displayed%-100)
[23:08] <YankDownUnder> Sounds like BIOS is not looking for the USB stick when booting...
[23:08] <mrdeb> did you use the windows usb creator
[23:08] <jingo255> I used what they suggested on ubuntu site
[23:08] <mrdeb> jingo255: you have to select either usb or harddrive usb from boot menu
[23:09] <rewt> jingo255, did you copy the .iso file to the usb, or extracted it on there?
[23:09] <jingo255> those options not available
[23:09] <no_face> html-inprogress i like that it is free to use
[23:09] <mrdeb> sometimes you have to select hard drive and then it seems your sitck even though its usb
[23:09] <mrdeb> bios can be weird
[23:09] <YankDownUnder> I'm still left to wonder if USB is chosen as a bootable device in the BIOS of the machine, jingo255
[23:09] <jingo255> what? so I should try hard drive
[23:10] <brewster> how do i make it so that when I see the cube workspace switcher, I can see a desktop on the top and bottom of the cube?
[23:10] <jingo255> I made cd too and it just does a blank screen
[23:10] <YankDownUnder> jingo255, Have you gone into the BIOS of your machine, and made sure that you changed the boot up order so that the USB will be booted?
[23:10] <html-inprogress> no_face,  you know windows has put out anti-linux adds
[23:10] <andantino> 6 workspaces perhaps
[23:11] <jingo255> there isnt a usb option
[23:11] <tamer> guntbert, I was referring to the case of using swap memory to fulfill the applications needs when the RAM is full. Of course I don't want to get to that point, and I resort to closing apps. But still I end up with a good portion of my 4 GB consumed by no "showing" processes. We are talking about 30% of purely used (excluding cached) memory, when in fact the only application I am "using" is Xchat!
[23:11] <brewster> html-inprogress: where might i find these ads?
[23:11] <andantino> really html?
[23:11] <no_face> not used windows this year, and have used linux for 7 years or more, don't care much for Microsoft at all anymore html-inprogress
[23:11] <YankDownUnder> jingo255, Did you LOOK CAREFULLY at the options to see if the USB is showing up as a hard drive?
[23:12] <evandrix>  hi
[23:12] <tamer> guntbert, something does not feel correct.
[23:12] <evandrix>  hi
[23:12] <guntbert> tamer: did you think of buffers too?
[23:12] <html-inprogress> brewster, im working on geting them ,as we speak but the computer is down,  you can try to google it
[23:13] <brewster> ok
[23:13] <tamer> guntbert, yes. Here's the line from free that I am reading: "-/+ buffers/cache:       1201       2622"
[23:14] <YankDownUnder> brewster, You're still fighting configuring your "Unity" eh...
[23:14] <brewster> indeed
[23:14] <froq_> YankDownUnder, what are you doing instead??
[23:14] <brewster> i got the cube and the solutions wasn't so obvious
[23:14] <YankDownUnder> froq_, I'm USING my system, not configuring it... ;)
[23:15] <froq_> YankDownUnder, oo haha.. nice remark
[23:16] <maujhsn> ubotto send me to url:  projectM-pulseaudio repository!
[23:16] <guntbert> tamer: (was that from free -m ?), remember that any memory used for buffers is immediately available if an application should need it (the same goes for cache)
