[20:25] <Spyros> MishkaEchoes, read "randr", and "Identifier "LeftMon" in man xorg.conf (http://pastebin.com/bkvRG1mu:)
[20:25] <urlin2u> cheeseyc, have you run the bootscript to see if there is something amiss, and checked the graphic diver setup for the black screen.
[20:25] <urlin2u> driver*
[20:25] <Spyros> MishkaEchoes, man xrandr
[20:26] <cheeseyc> urlin2u: as usual I know what you're asking but have no idea how to actually do it
[20:26] <macs> I installed clownfish on my ubuntu machine and i cant remove it.
[20:26] <n3glv> hi guys
[20:26] <n3glv> when trying to download a file I get this error
[20:27] <n3glv> . /tmp/1Fn5aOKy.deb.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read.
[20:27] <n3glv> is this permissions on /tmp/ ??
[20:27] <Spyros> cheeseyc, if the services do not start and it freezed before then it could be the kernel
[20:27] <n3glv> or maybe a firefox fart?
[20:28] <mentoc> Suits me right for walking into #ubuntu and reading "firefox fart"....
[20:28] <n3glv> LOL
[20:28] <n3glv> aww cum on now
[20:28] <n3glv> ;-p
[20:28] <mentoc> lolz
[20:28] <n3glv> freuidian slit?
[20:28] <mentoc> n3glv, what's making your firefox ..... ?
[20:28] <urlin2u> cheeseyc, boot the ubuntu cd and run the script hereare two links the script and the grub 2 page, not real familiar myself with drivers though. http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling_GRUB2 Some also use the boot repair app by loading the ppa on the live cd and installing and running it, post the script if you want.
[20:29] <n3glv> ubu 10.10
[20:29] <cheeseyc> Spyros: considering that the last time I was actually on my ubuntu I think I accidentally attempted and failed to suspend?
[20:29] <n3glv> cheeseyc: that sounds like some partly broken apic support
[20:30] <soulslayer> guys does some one knows why nm-applet cant find any network devices here i have clean the /etc/network/interfaces file and set the managed value in the NetworkManager.conf to true
[20:30] <soulslayer> tried restarting dbus ...
[20:30] <soulslayer> but still nothing
[20:30] <soulslayer> the nm applet says Error getting 'WirelessHardwareEnabled'
[20:31] <cheeseyc> to all: im pretty sure my problem is about 3 things at once and that's not including how new I am to ubuntu.
[20:31] <n3glv> soulslayer: some systems I have heard about a softswitch or something, for wifi on/off
[20:31] <urlin2u> soulslayer, have you posted the wireless card this command will identify it.  lspci | grep -i wireless
[20:32] <kyubutsu> repo
[20:32] <soulslayer> urlin2u, its atheros chip and the driver is ok
[20:32] <soulslayer> because i can scan with it
[20:32] <soulslayer> and its fully operational using iwconfig
[20:32] <cheeseyc> urlin2u: Ill look at those.
[20:32] <soulslayer> the same thing happens with the ethernet adapter too
[20:32] <n3glv> what ver freepbx? 11.10?
[20:33] <n3glv> oops
[20:33] <n3glv>  I meant ubuntu
[20:33] <soulslayer> i can use it like dhclient or setup it maualy from xterm
[20:33] <soulslayer> but the nm-applet says there is no available devieces
[20:33] <n3glv> soulslayer: 11.10?
[20:33] <urlin2u> soulslayer, you say it scans yet say "cant find any network devices"
[20:33] <popsch> which package contains ubuntu's desktop backgrounds?
[20:33] <soulslayer> urlin2u, the nm-applet cant find any network devices
[20:33] <soulslayer> n3glv,  oneric ocelot
[20:34] <ActionParsnip> !info | popsch
[20:34] <soulslayer> minimal installation i install xorg and xfce manualy because of the small hdd of the device
[20:34] <n3glv> sorry I don't go out of my way to memorize such names as heaving hemmorhoid
[20:34] <ActionParsnip> !info ubuntu-artwork
[20:34] <n3glv> give me digits
[20:35] <n3glv> and I'm not willing to go look up a cutsiepie name to try and help someone for free
[20:35] <soulslayer> n3glv, :D its 11.10 :D the latest ubuntu
[20:35] <n3glv> 11.10 makes changes off of gnome
[20:35] <ActionParsnip> n3glv: 11.10 == oneiric
[20:35] <ActionParsnip> n3glv: if that's what you mean
[20:35] <djino> Hi, I am using the 'configure' program to install something from source. It complains that a specific dependency it requires is out of date. I have the dependency installed in a different directory, i.e. /opt/foo/bin/foo  instead /usr/bin/foo. Can I somehow provide the different folder to 'configure' as an option?
[20:35] <n3glv> and it would not surprise me if they broke what used to be gnome network manager
[20:36] <qmanjr5> How would I use wget on a .onion (from Tor) address?
[20:36] <soulslayer> n3glv, do you have any suggestions ?
[20:36] <n3glv> other than I can't stand 11.10 and ended up reformatting and going back to 10.10?
[20:36] <n3glv> no
[20:36] <popsch> ActionParsnip, thanks a lot.
[20:36] <ActionParsnip> n3glv: what's up with 11.10?
[20:36] <soulslayer> damn
[20:37] <ActionParsnip> popsch: np man :)
[20:37] <n3glv> stupid desktop
[20:37] <soulslayer> ActionParsnip, the nm-applet cant find network devices
[20:37] <n3glv> unity crap
[20:37] <soulslayer> but the devices are there and fully operational
[20:37] <soulslayer> n3glv, i dont have unity installed
[20:37] <n3glv> can't get my gnome desktop back
[20:37] <ActionParsnip> n3glv: that's only gnome, you can use xfce, kde, lxde and others and STILL use oneiric
[20:37] <soulslayer> its xfce + NetworkManager and nm-applet
[20:37] <n3glv> ActionParsnip: tried to stay with main branch
[20:37] <n3glv> failed misserably
[20:37] <ActionParsnip> n3glv: my desktop looks no different from Karmic to now
[20:38] <ActionParsnip> n3glv: there is no main branch
[20:38] <n3glv> I use 10.10 but select ubuntu desktop, that's what I want to see, gnome
[20:38] <ActionParsnip> n3glv: all the desktops in the repos are equally supported and developed
[20:38] <n3glv> not a sill swelling mac-like mess and a taskbar I can't edit.
[20:38] <Fodi69> hi, is there anything for linux that is compatible with windows media sharing (streaming) ??
[20:38] <qmanjr5> How would I use wget on a .onion (from Tor) address?
[20:38] <n3glv> ActionParsnip: the UPGRADE button puts me on 11.10-useless
[20:38] <cheeseyc_> urlin2u: I ran the script but I'm honestly not sure what I'm looking for in the results
[20:39] <soulslayer> guys dont want to interrupt you but lets dont make that religious fight
[20:39] <n3glv> ok /tmp/1Fn5aOKy.deb.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read.
[20:39] <n3glv> issue
[20:39] <ActionParsnip> n3glv: install xfce, it looks and runs a lot like original desktop. Gnome2 is a dead project so you will eventually need to move
[20:39] <soulslayer> ActionParsnip, do you have any suggestions how can i make the nm-applet find the network devices ?
[20:39] <n3glv> am stuck in the midst of a project because 10.10 wet the bed
[20:39] <urlin2u> cheeseyc, post it in a pastebin we can take a look.  http://paste.ubuntu.com/
[20:39] <ActionParsnip> soulslayer: tried wicd instead
[20:39] <n3glv> can't download the tool I need to continue
[20:39] <n3glv> am loosing $75/hr
[20:40] <cheeseyc_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/737653/
[20:40] <ActionParsnip> soulslayer: as long as there is a driver for the interface, it can be used
[20:40] <n3glv> ya, wicd is nice
[20:40] <Resistance> n3glv:  i'm going to ask you to stop whining... whining doesnt help you get support.
[20:40] <Fodi69> hi, is there anything for linux that is compatible with windows media sharing (streaming) ??
[20:40] <ActionParsnip> Fodi69: samba
[20:40] <soulslayer> ActionParsnip, wicd is replacement for the NetworkManager daemon and the nm-applet both or just the daemong ?
[20:40] <ActionParsnip> Fodi69: shares the folder which you can then map as a network drive and stream from
[20:41] <n3glv> wicd does all networking
[20:41] <n3glv> and is nice
[20:41] <ActionParsnip> soulslayer: nm-applet is just the thing that appears in the panel, network manager is the bit doing the work.
[20:41] <Fodi69> how hard it is to install samba for a beginner?
[20:41] <soulslayer> yep i just wonderd  does wicd has something similar to nm-applet
[20:42] <ActionParsnip> Fodi69: its just like any other package, sudo apt-get -y install samba
[20:42] <cheeseyc_> (fyi I'm just switching between phone/laptop irc, cheeseyc and cheeseyc_, as is convenient. so yes I'm still here.)
[20:42] <ActionParsnip> soulslayer: yes, it has a panel item
[20:42] <ActionParsnip> soulslayer: it also has wicd-curses and you can configure in a nice curses cli environment
[20:42] <n3glv> cheeseyc_: if you are on irc a lot, look into znc
[20:43] <n3glv> I am on 3 pcs at the moment
[20:43] <n3glv> two at home and 1 @ library
[20:43] <soulslayer> and is it works well with usb broadband 3g donggles ?
[20:43] <urlin2u> cheeseyc, grub is looking at the wrong partition sda8 should be sda7 use the grub 2 link and try the load grub from cd or chroot it ith commands below that option on that page.
[20:43] <ActionParsnip> soulslayer: I'm not sure it does 3G stuff
[20:43] <n3glv> soulslayer: I never tried it with my evdo, since I gave up the service before I saw wicd, but it shold.
[20:43] <n3glv> should rather
[20:43] <ActionParsnip> soulslayer: http://wicd.sourceforge.net/moinmoin/3GUsbModem
[20:44] <cheeseyc_> urlin2u: I already know that's what it's doing; that's what I work around every time grub rescue pops up. I've become very used to typing set prefix=(hd0,7)/boot/grub by now
[20:44] <n3glv> soulslayer: you have checked for proprietary drivers in ubuntu?
[20:44] <hasek791> i need help with my permissions
[20:44] <soulslayer> n3glv, its not a driver problem
[20:44] <urlin2u> cheeseyc_, if you know how to manual boot into the ubuntu you can just run a update-grub that should do it, did you install startup manager to change the default boot OS?
[20:44] <soulslayer> the interfaces are fully operational
[20:45] <ActionParsnip> soulslayer: what happens when you boot, is the device not ready?
[20:45] <soulslayer> it is all the interfaces are up and runing just the network manager cand find them
[20:45] <cheeseyc_> urlin2u: again, that's the problem - I can use grub /after/ using the rescue thing, but I can't actually boot into ubuntu because then I get a black screen or else grub freezes up before I can.
[20:45] <hasek791> when i put in a usb drive or device and when i try to eject it it tell me i dont have permission and im not the owner which doesnt make sense
[20:46] <cheeseyc_> urlin2u: so then I'm stuck only able to access ubuntu via booting off the USB into the ubuntu default, and not sure how to update or reinstall grub from tehre
[20:46] <cheeseyc_> *there
[20:46] <n3glv> hasek791: you use sudo?
[20:46] <n3glv> and/or do you have your user logging in automatically?
[20:46] <ActionParsnip> soulslayer: and what do you need to do to make it ok?
[20:47] <cheeseyc_> urlin2u: additonally it's worth note that my windows 7 side works just fine, but obviously I can't really get anything done from there and like it far less
[20:47] <hasek791> i have to.. i got a shortcut in my dock sudo nautlis just so i can eject things
[20:47] <soulslayer> i dont realy know i have everything setuped network-manager daemon ... nm-applet
[20:47] <soulslayer> but the nm-applet just says no available network devices
[20:48] <n3glv> this is rediculous
[20:48] <soulslayer> tell me about it
[20:48] <soulslayer> :)
[20:48] <ActionParsnip> soulslayer: if you unload then reload the module, does it work?
[20:48] <soulslayer> i havent tried that
[20:48] <urlin2u> cheeseyc_, unless there is a ascpi problem as suggested or other hardware problems the black screen and grub are only connected by you not seoerating the fix on these, use a nomodeset boot to fix the black screen reload grub fron=m the usb boot with the grub 2 link posted, then fix the graphic driver or put m=nomodeset in the kernel line permanently.
[20:48] <soulslayer> just a second
[20:49] <urlin2u> cheeseyc_, sorry for the miss spells
[20:49] <cheeseyc_> urlin2u: nomodeset boot? (it's fine, I understood)
[20:50] <hasek791> how can i fix it so i can just eject flash drives without using sude
[20:50] <hasek791> sudo
[20:50] <Lobosque> hello, when I switch to console (ctrl+alt+f1) it does not use full resolution. how can I fix this?
[20:51] <Spyros> Lobosque, it's about framebuffer >> google;)
[20:51] <ActionParsnip> hasek791: what is the output of:  groups
[20:51] <Spyros> Lobosque, uvesafb i think
[20:52] <Spyros> Lobosque, what card do you use?
[20:52] <ab5tra> anyone know c?
[20:53] <ActionParsnip> ab5tra: try in #c
[20:53] <ab5tra> ok thank you!
[20:53] <Lobosque> Spyros radeon 5850
[20:53] <soulslayer> ActionParsnip, nope the same issue
[20:53] <ab5tra> it says invite only :(
[20:53] <soulslayer> maybe its something about the dbus
[20:53] <soulslayer> and thats why nm-applet cant send message
[20:53] <soulslayer> .. ?
[20:53] <ActionParsnip> soulslayer: if you run:   sudo rfkill list    are they blocked any?
[20:53] <ab5tra> any reason why the C room is invite only, any other sugggeestions?
[20:54] <ActionParsnip> ab5tra: get yourself registered and identified and you can enter
[20:54] <urlin2u> cheeseyc_, nomodeset for the black screen (low graphics), grub reload for booting. To be honest it is hard to tell exactly whats going on but these are not guesses on my part the boot script shows a wrong set up can be fixed by reloading grub generally. Black screen generally dealt with by inserting nomodeset in the kernel, until the graphics are set up. This is if no other problems are happening.
[20:54] <ab5tra> alright thanks
[20:55] <soulslayer> ActionParsnip, no
[20:55] <soulslayer> everythink is no
[20:55] <itsnotabigtruck> has anyone played around with apparmor? do you think it's worth it to spend time defining new apparmor policies for daemons
[20:55] <ActionParsnip> soulslayer: if you run:  sudo iwlist scan    do you see wireless networks?
[20:55] <cheeseyc_> urlin2u, alright, thanks. I reinstalled grub - I think/hope - but again, you're dealing very much with a n00b right now who isn't sure how to exactly to insert nomodeset in the kernel
[20:55] <soulslayer> yes
[20:56] <soulslayer> ... i see i can connect from the command line
[20:56] <urlin2u> !nomodeset cheeseyc_
[20:56] <ActionParsnip> soulslayer: what is the wireless interface name?
[20:56] <soulslayer> wlan0
[20:56] <soulslayer> all of the interfaces are fully operational
[20:56] <soulslayer> i can connect to my home dhcp server
[20:56] <ActionParsnip> soulslayer: weird, sounds like everything is in order
[20:56] <soulslayer> yep it is
[20:56] <soulslayer> just the nm-applet
[20:56] <soulslayer> cannot get any devices information
[20:56] <urlin2u> !nomodeset | cheeseyc_
[20:57] <soulslayer> canoot send message
[20:57] <ActionParsnip> soulslayer: try killing nm-applet then reload it
[20:57] <dimas_> could someone explain me about the ubuntu 11.10 desktop?....only can see the ubuntu 2d
[20:57] <cheeseyc_> ubottu: thanks
[20:57] <Spyros> Lobosque, there was a problem in the past you could either have framebuffer or 3d graphics,
[20:57] <cheeseyc_> urlin2u: thank you very much
[20:57] <Spyros> Lobosque, but you can see if radeonfb i think and fglrx cooperate;)
[20:58] <urlin2u> cheeseyc_, no problem.
[20:58] <urlin2u> ;
[20:59] <soulslayer> ActionParsnip, tried it
[20:59] <soulslayer> no success
[20:59] <Spyros> Lobosque, try modprobe radeonfb in the command line to see what happens
[21:00] <Spyros> Lobosque, (you might have to comment out radeonfb from some file in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist?? )
[21:01] <TehAndrewRyan_> I need some help quick. I'm running Ubuntu 11.10 as a server for Minecraft (desktop version) but I used Ctrl + Alt + F1 to enter nogui-mode. For some reason it won't let me log in when I restart the computer. And not only that, I need to copy the server folder over to a USB-stick, but Ubuntu doesn't recognise it if I /cd /media   and then  ls  . What am I supposed to do?
[21:01] <soulslayer> ActionParsnip, pastebin.com/CgdcvDnj
[21:01] <soulslayer> see that
[21:02] <jrib> TehAndrewRyan_: what you wrote does not make much sense to me
[21:02] <TehAndrewRyan_> Also, typing startx returns errors and doesn't start X
[21:02] <TehAndrewRyan_> jrib: what do you need more info about then?
[21:02] <ActionParsnip> soulslayer: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1594566
[21:02] <tiox> Does an ISO with all official versions of Ubuntu for DVD exist?
[21:02] <jrib> TehAndrewRyan_: state clearly and concisely what you want to accomplish.  If you made some attempt to accomplish it, then also say exactly what you did and exactly what the outcome was
[21:02] <wunnle> hey all
[21:03] <ActionParsnip> tiox: sure
[21:03] <pugvader> moo
[21:03] <TehAndrewRyan_> jrib: When I mean it doesn't let me login, I mean that when I try to login with GUI, after typing the passwd a terminal flashes and then it goes back to the login screen
[21:03] <tiox> ActionParsnip: Link?
[21:03] <ActionParsnip> tiox: which release do you want?
[21:03] <jrib> TehAndrewRyan_: what do you want to accomplish?
[21:03] <tiox> 11.10, ubuntu/kubuntu/xubuntu/lubuntu
[21:03] <Spyros> TehAndrewRyan, try changing the session
[21:03] <TehAndrewRyan_> jrib: What I want to accomplish is that I want to either start Ubuntu with GUI, but if that doesn't work I want to copy a folder from Ubuntu to a USB-stick that Ubuntu doesn't recognise

[21:03] <wunnle> i removed default video player and i'm just using smplayer now. but my video thumbnails disappered. what should i do?
[21:03] <jrib> TehAndrewRyan_: can you login at a tty?
[21:03] <TehAndrewRyan_> Spyros: How?
[21:04] <TehAndrewRyan_> jrib: What's a tty?
[21:04] <jrib> TehAndrewRyan_: what you see when you press ctrl-alt-f1
[21:04] <Spyros> TehAndrewRyan, nevermind see ~/.xsession-error
[21:04] <ActionParsnip> tiox: 32bit or 64bit?
[21:04] <soulslayer> ActionParsnip, i dont have that installed
[21:04] <TehAndrewRyan_> jrib: Right now I'm logged in with nogui mode
[21:04] <ActionParsnip> soulslayer: does the bug link give any hints
[21:05] <tonyyarusso> tiox: I *think* these images have everything you need - at least they used to:  http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/11.10/release/ubuntu-11.10-dvd-i386.iso / http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/11.10/release/ubuntu-11.10-dvd-amd64.iso
[21:05] <TehAndrewRyan_> jrib: If I press Ctrl Alt F1 it goes back to the login screen, in nogui mode (a terminal)
[21:05] <ActionParsnip> tonyyarusso: nice :)
[21:05] <soulslayer> ActionParsnip, no ...
[21:05] <jrib> TehAndrewRyan_: can you login at ctrl-alt-f1?
[21:05] <soulslayer> i dont have connman installed and the configs are like they said
[21:05] <soulslayer> i change manged to true
[21:05] <soulslayer> same thing
[21:05] <TehAndrewRyan_> jrib: Yes, I can log in at the user from there
[21:05] <tiox> Oh, I'll take 8.
[21:05] <tiox> (Funny Let's Play reference no one may ever get)
[21:06] <tiox> But yeah, I'll have both.
[21:06] <nd456> my ubuntu will display a blank cursor after grub and when i press a button on the keyboard or power button it will then boot dose anyone have any idea's?
[21:06] <ActionParsnip> tiox: sweet
[21:06] <jrib> TehAndrewRyan_: then read ~/.xsession-errors to figure out why your session is quitting, use a different session type, or create a new user and log in as the new user
[21:06] <ActionParsnip> nd456: are you using an nvidia gpu by any chance?
[21:06] <nd456> yes i an
[21:06] <nd456> am*
[21:07] <TehAndrewRyan_> jrib: How do I create a new user?
[21:07] <jrib> TehAndrewRyan_: adduser USERNAME
 I have had ubuntu for years and not had a problem like this...
[21:08] <ActionParsnip> nd456: the driver doesn't load fast enough to show the boot splash if you use the nvidia driver, so it won't show. There are steps you can take to make it load the fb driver during boot
[21:08] <ActionParsnip> nd456: its a common issue
[21:08] <gsr> hi all.  I have a few services (ie mysql) that are starting on boot - I want to disable this.  I tried update-rc.d -f mysql remove, but it can't find anything in /etc/init.d to remove.
[21:08] <Kirbyblade0|Wii> Wow, quite alot of people here.
[21:08] <gsr> how do I find whats starting them?
[21:09] <puff> My sound mysteriously stopped working.
[21:09] <puff> I tried the volume knobs and worked through the troubleshooting steps, no dice. Any ideas?
 humm... well im going to reupdate to 11.10 after a wipe back to 10.04... but how can i fix this when i reupdate?
[21:09] <ActionParsnip> puff: try:  killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse; rm -r ~/.pulse-cookie
[21:09] <cheeseyc> Thank you again everybody who helped me, particularly urlin2u. Just one last issue I think - networking is disabled and I don't know why?
[21:09] <ActionParsnip> nd456: i ca give a link if you want
 what would be fantastic
[21:10] <ActionParsnip> nd456: http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/lucidubuntu-10-04-high-resolution-plymouth-virtual-terminal-for-atinvidia-cards-with-proprietaryrestricted-driver/
[21:10] <ActionParsnip> nd456: personally I wouldn't bother
 it would explain why somtimes i have a 640x640 resolution
[21:10] <ActionParsnip> nd456: its the boot screen, it is around for about 0 seconds, and the OS does load, so who cares
[21:10] <TehAndrewRyan_> jrib: I don't have permission to mount the USB-stick from my new account, how do I add that?
[21:11] <cheeseyc> ...never mind :) /leaves
[21:11] <jrib> TehAndrewRyan_: assuming your usb stick uses vfat, if you just plug in your usb stick it should be automounted and your user should be allowed to modify it.  If you need this new user to have sudo access, you must add him to the "admin" group: adduser USERNAME admin
[21:12] <nd456> ActionParsnip> wait, i think this is a different issue... grub dose its thing then a blank cursor comup and stay's untill i press a button on my keyboard or the power button (hdd activity light goe's off untill i presss a button
[21:12] <puff> ActionParsnip: And then what, reboot?
[21:13] <puff> ActionParsnip: Or restart pulseaudio?
[21:13] <ActionParsnip> puff: pulseaudio restarts itself :), try some sound apps
[21:13] <puff> ActionParsnip: Still nothing.
[21:14] <ActionParsnip> puff: if you run:   alsamixer     are all levels cranked and unmuted?
[21:14] <puff> ActionParsnip: Everything except analog mic boost.
[21:14] <ActionParsnip> nd456: remove the boot options:  quiet splash     then you can watch the bootup, may give clues
[21:14] <puff> ActionParsnip:  I don't see any sign of mute, how do i turn it on/.off?
[21:15] <TehAndrewRyan_> jrib: How come I can't login with GUI on my standard account?
[21:15] <ActionParsnip> puff: all I can suggest is a reboot, my sound troubleshooting is basic at best
[21:15] <jrib> TehAndrewRyan_: see the first suggestion I gave  you (regarding ~/.xsession-errors)
 ok, but im gonna update first... thanks for the idea's
[21:18] <TehAndrewRyan_> jrib: Where do I find that file then?
[21:18] <jrib> TehAndrewRyan_: ~ means your home directory
[21:21] <fmancinelli> 5

[21:23] <arooni-mobile> how can i make a given program appear on top of all other windows in other workspaces (running ubuntu 11.10)
[21:25] <tiox> Can someone confirm if devilspie/gdevilspie works on Ubuntu 11.10 for arooni-mobile
[21:25] <tiox> ?
[21:25] <TehAndrewRyan_> jrib: That file is full of text, anything in specific to search for?
[21:26] <zeed_> i
[21:27] <jrib> TehAndrewRyan_: yes look for something that would cause your session to quit
[21:27] <ActionParsnip> tiox: i've used it in the past
[21:27] <TehAndrewRyan_> I mean, it's thousands of lines long, can I Ctrl + F to find something in particular that might cause the session to quit?
[21:28] <jrib> TehAndrewRyan_: start at the bottom...
[21:29] <tiox> ActionParsnip: Reason I asked is because I seem to be having difficulty using it with GNOME-Shell.
[21:29] <ActionParsnip> tiox: hmm, not sure there dude. Could contact the gdevilspie team to enquire
[21:30] <tiox> Otherwise arooni-mobile , see if using the Compiz Window Rules plugin (accessible via CCSM) works in Unity/Ubuntu 2D/Ubuntu 3D)
[21:30] <tiox> I don't even use GNOME-shell anymore because I sorts disliked how it worked. But the shell with Unity is awesome.
[21:31] <tiox> Aside from the non-flexible top panel. But beside that, Unity is awesome.
[21:31] <tiox> Eventhough people were using the top panel in conjunction with stand-alone DockbarX for awhile.
[21:32] <soulslayer> ActionParsnip, the problem was in the policies of the debus
[21:32] <soulslayer> one guy from gimpnet says that
[21:32] <ActionParsnip> soulslayer: ahhh i see
[21:33] <Pilowski> in
[21:33] <soulslayer> i change the policies and it works like a charm i guess thats some kind of new "feature" in ubuntu that sets the policy on deny
[21:34] <ensi> hi
[21:34] <XEDDO> can somebody help me with gdm?
[21:35] <ensi> the system keeps turning down the brigthness on the screen
[21:35] <ensi> appears some video drivers are mssed up in the packge system, cannot install/uninstall anything apt is just bitching

[21:36] <ensi> http://pastebin.com/MR3E9NrG
[21:37] <conbot> hey
[21:37] <metalforever> hey
[21:37] <conbot> how can i set up wireless on ubuntu server?(command line)
[21:37] <metalforever> ifconfig
[21:37] <conbot> using iwconfig
[21:37] <conbot> ehm
[21:37] <conbot> yeh
[21:37] <metalforever> see which one is the wireless connection
[21:37] <XEDDO> i have ubuntu 11.04, and i want to install a custom login screen (aka change gdm theme) but i dont have the tabs/settings in the login screen settings window. am i even running gdm? and if not how do i start to use it?
[21:37] <conbot> it is not listed.
[21:37] <metalforever> probably wlan0 or similar
[21:37] <metalforever> okay, then you need to install a driver.
[21:37] <Zeelot> does anyone know if you can connect the new cinema displays (thunderbolt) to a macbook pro running ubuntu?
[21:38] <metalforever> what is the name of the card?
[21:38] <metalforever> @ conbot
[21:38] <ensi> i like linux. you never have extra time from fixing this
[21:38] <conbot> I have installed the wl driver on my system and the one before it(gentoo), and i remember that on ubuntu desktop, the interface was eth1
[21:38] <Ademan> anyone know where a good place to get help with advanced cdrdao and/or cdrecord usage is?
[21:39] <metalforever> okay
[21:39] <metalforever> so you are telling me it IS there when you do an ifconfig?
[21:39] <conbot> no
[21:39] <metalforever> if it isnt the wireless driver isnt properly configured
[21:39] <conbot> it is not
[21:39] <metalforever> and you need to do that.
[21:39] <conbot> there is no interface eth1
[21:39] <metalforever> modprobe the driver
[21:39] <conbot> only eth0 and virtb0
[21:39] <metalforever> modprobe the driver
[21:39] <metalforever> so... figure out the module name
[21:40] <conbot> wl
[21:40] <conbot> says it is not there
[21:40] <metalforever> and then do
[21:40] <metalforever> "sudo modprobe modulename here"
[21:41] <conbot> k
[21:41] <metalforever> it should show up then when you ifconfig.. if not, do "ifconfig eth1 up"
[21:41] <conbot> the module name should be wl
[21:41] <conbot> not there
[21:41] <metalforever> wait, paste the error.
[21:41] <conbot> no such interface.
[21:41] <Gergov> hi guys i just installed ubuntu 10.10 and google chrome browser and flash-player from Synaptic PManager. but the thing is flash crashes a lot.. i watch youtube or any other flash videos.. and sometimes it justs goes gray color and i have to refresh the browser. any ideas why or how to fix that?
[21:42] <Otend> Gergov: you'll probably have to update.
[21:42] <Gergov> Otend, update flash player?
[21:42] <metalforever> conbot, copy and paste what you are typing into the terminal and the response.
[21:42] <Otend> Yep; that's what worked for me ,at least.
[21:42] <Otend> x64?
[21:42] <metalforever> is that when you modprobe?
[21:42] <metalforever> then its not installed at all
[21:42] <metalforever> reinstall the driver.
[21:42] <metalforever> but, once installed(get a paper and pen) do the following:
[21:42] <metalforever> modprobe it
[21:42] <metalforever> ifconfig eth1 up
[21:43] <metalforever> iwconfig eth1 essid (essid here)
[21:43] <metalforever> iwlist scanning to scan if you dont know.
[21:43] <metalforever> and then do :
[21:43] <metalforever> dhclient eth1
[21:43] <metalforever> that should do it
[21:43] <KM0201> good lord.. hit enter a few more times
[21:43] <FloodBot1> metalforever: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:43] <Gergov> Otend, well here is the thing.. my laptop is very old and i always installed x32 things.. but now i installed ubuntu from wubu and now i need to install x64 programs like skype and other..
[21:43] <conbot> no X11
[21:44] <metalforever> you dont need x11
[21:44] <Otend> oh; it's probably an x86 system, I am guessing
[21:44] <Gergov> yes
[21:44] <KM0201> Gergov: why did you install 64bit ubuntu with Wubi, if your laptop is 32bit?
[21:44] <Otend> ^pretty much that
[21:44] <conbot> Gergov: if your processor in 32 bit ur screwed. btw, 64bit apps can not run on 32bit computers
[21:44] <conbot> yeah?
[21:44] <Gergov> KM0201, i didnt know that its x64.. i went to ubuntu archive and there it was the only wubu.exe for 10.10
[21:45] <KM0201> honestly, a 64bit OS, should error out during the install process on a 32bit system.. but i don't know anything about Wubi.. i avoid it like Windows given it's inherent problems
[21:45] <KM0201> Gergov: well, boot windows, and uninstall Ubuntu, that would be a start.
[21:45] <Gergov> ok thanks
[21:46] <KM0201> Gergov: then.. once you've removed wubi from orbit
[21:46] <KM0201> download the 32bit ISO, burn it to a CD, boot the CD, and install like a normal person.
[21:46] <KM0201> wubi is to TEST the oS... not run it regularly.. hang out here a while and watch the problems that wubi causes.
[21:46] <Gergov> yeah i was lazy to make a new partition thats why i tried wubu
[21:46] <fernando_> Holas
[21:46] <fernando_> NEcesito ayuda
[21:47] <bekks> !ar | fernando_
[21:47] <fernando_> Necesiot ayuda
[21:47] <fernando_> alquien me puede ayudar?
[21:47] <KM0201> Gergov: well, i can't compensate for your laziness, but windows and ubuntu are to intertwined w/ wubi.. if wubi bricks, you lose the ability to boot windows and ubuntu... partition your drive, and do it right.
[21:47] <Gergov> KM0201, thanks :) ill do that
[21:47] <conbot> hello?
[21:48] <conbot> what can i do to make the interface?
[21:48] <conbot> eth1?
[21:48] <bekks> conbot: nopaste the output of "ifconfig -a" please.
[21:48] <Master33> is backtrack better than backbox..
[21:48] <Master33> anyone
[21:48] <daleharvey> so I am trying to use ubuntu 11.10 with xmonad
[21:49] <daleharvey> and I just cant seem to get the unity panel to go away
[21:49] <bekks> !ot | Master33
[21:49] <melon> Hi, i have saved all the .foo dir in a backup disk, can i retrieve my wifi password from them? (password saved without password (non-safe))
[21:49] <conbot> bekks: how may i upload without x or a browser?
[21:49] <Master33> ok
[21:49] <daleharvey> I installed compiz settings thing and set it to autohide, but it never hides
[21:49] <bekks> conbot: by using pastebinit.
[21:51] <bagels_> Hey, is there an android app that works with ubuntu that lets me use my phone like a remote control for hulu desktop and other media?
[21:51] <melon> Okay, to be clear, where is saved my wifi (and other) password?
[21:52] <bagels_> I'm looking for a simple arrow key thing, not a mouse controller.  I have one of those.
[21:52] <jtr__> !goodnoght
[21:52] <jtr__> !goodnight
[21:52] <jtr__> :(
[21:52] <Jimmy_Kash> goodnight
[21:52] <conbot> http://paste.ubuntu.com/737703
[21:52] <ActionParsnip> Master33: both are offtopic and not supported here
[21:52] <conbot> !night
[21:52] <jtr__> Jimmy_Kash: was just trying :d
[21:53] <conbot> it is not the middle of the night here and i am in the us.
[21:53] <ActionParsnip> nearly 10pm here
[21:53] <jtr__> conbot: haha :D
[21:53] <ActionParsnip> bagels_: there is xbmc remote and vlc remote
[21:54] <jtr__> conbot: there is lot in terms of time sync that hasn't happened in networked systems
[21:54] <bagels_> ActionParsnip, does it work with any program in linux, as if it were a keyboard?
[21:54] <jtr__> conbot: and IRC is a particularly difficult case
[21:54] <ActionParsnip> bagels_: there is also transdroid which I can recommend heavily
[21:54] <conbot> I am in the east which is particularly clode to europe
[21:54] <bagels_> ActionParsnip, tell me more plx
[21:54] <conbot> Georgia to be exact.
[21:54] <ActionParsnip> bagels_: the xbmc remote acts like a DVD remote and has lots of great buttons, check it out
[21:54] <guntbert> !ot | conbot
[21:55] <conbot> umh
[21:55] <ActionParsnip> bagels_: vlc remote lets you control volume, fullscreen and what is playing
[21:55] <bagels_> ActionParsnip, but do i need xbmc for it to work?
[21:55] <conbot> i am waiting for a reponse to my question.
[21:55] <jtr__> conbot: ask again
[21:55] <ActionParsnip> bagels_: for xbmc remote, yes
[21:55] <conbot> bekks: u there?
[21:56] <bagels_> ActionParsnip, nvm the xbmc then, I don't use it.  Unless it's compatible with wii and hulu.  Then I'll change my mind XD
[21:56] <ActionParsnip> bagels_: there is also this http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/01/remotedroid-lets-you-control-your-desktop-using-your-phone/
[21:56] <jtr__> conbot: in the network manager, u can restrict the connection to use only eth1
[21:56] <jtr__> conbot: is that what u want?
[21:56] <conbot> I AM ON UBUNTU SERVER
[21:56] <conbot> and do not want x at the moment.
[21:56] <BluesKaj> konversation beta 1.4 works well despite the attitude on it's support over at the konversation chat
[21:57] <bagels_> ActionParsnip, I have remotedroid, I was thinking something more like an actual remote, with arrow keys and volume.
[21:57] <bagels_> ActionParsnip, and an ok button.
[21:57] <ActionParsnip> bagels_: http://masl.cis.gvsu.edu/2011/05/20/demo-of-android-based-remote-control-app-for-hulu/
[21:58] <bekks> conbot: yes.
[21:58] <conbot> bekks: see the link?
[21:58] <conbot> know what i should do?
[21:58] <ActionParsnip> bagels_: does hulu allow remote controlling by web ui etc?
[21:58] <bekks> conbot: First, you need to tell us why you think there is a eth1 which should appear somehow?
[21:58] <posti> can someone send me PL ubuntu help channel ?
[21:59] <bagels_> ActionParsnip, hulu desktop allows remote controlling via an IR computer remote, a wiimote (if you have BT), etc.
[21:59] <metalforever> conbot: run ifconfig and pastebin the output
[21:59] <bekks> metalforever: Already done.
[21:59] <bagels_> ActionParsnip, there's also apps like playon.tv that broadcast hulu to the wii and roku via your PC, but all are windows/mac only.
[21:59] <metalforever> link me.
[22:00] <bekks> 1113 225243 < conbot> http://paste.ubuntu.com/737703
[22:00] <ActionParsnip> bagels_: there is unified remote in android store for very little cash which can talk to hulu
[22:00] <conbot> metalforever: i DID!!!
[22:00] <bekks> conbot: Calm down.
[22:00] <conbot> ok
[22:01] <rypervenche> conbot: You could use wicd-curses to do wireless from the CLI.
[22:01] <conbot> sorry i have first attempted this in #gentoo earlier today because i had the same problem
[22:01] <metalforever> conbot
[22:01] <metalforever> paste it again
[22:01] <metalforever> cant find it.
[22:01] <conbot> have been on the computer for 13 hours.

[22:01] <ActionParsnip> bagels_: seems to be windows only
[22:01] <conbot> bekks: thx bro
[22:01] <_calum> Hi people.Apart from Avast and ClamAV, are there any other antivirus engines which can scan Windows partition from within Linux?
[22:01] <bekks> conbot: Why do you think there is another interface which should appear?
[22:02] <metalforever> yeah
[22:02] <metalforever> @conbot
[22:02] <romdo> hi hi
[22:02] <bagels_> ActionParsnip, there's tons of windows apps.  all I want is a free remote app... that looks like a remote
[22:02] <metalforever> yeah, drivers for wireless arent installed
[22:02] <jarubyh> Does systemrescueCD do the trick?
[22:02] <tomodachi> does ubuntu unity work with nouveau nowdays?
[22:02] <ActionParsnip> bagels_: the vlc one and xbmc is all I know dude
[22:02] <bekks> metalforever: We dont even know wether there is a wireless interface.
[22:02] <metalforever> try iwconfig and pastbin it again
[22:02] <metalforever> .
[22:02] <ActionParsnip> tomodachi: sure, my 6150LE can use it well
[22:02] <Hyperbyte> _calum, not entirely sure, but AVG probably can.
[22:02] <bagels_> ActionParsnip, I'm resigned to play my computer to the tv.  I'll look into xbmc.  tyvm :)
[22:02] <conbot> bekks: i checked... let me refresh...
[22:02] <romdo> need advice on decrypting WPA packets using wireshark ..anyon help?
[22:02] <metalforever> right, but we can assume that the computer has an ethernet port yes?
[22:02] <conbot> oh wait
[22:02] <conbot> i checked modprobe
[22:03] <tomodachi> ActionParsnip: you think there are any reasons except for gaming to stick to the evil nvidia binaries?
[22:03] <bekks> metalforever: It has at least one ethernet port. We dont know anything else.
[22:03] <conbot> when i typed iwconfig there were no wireless networks.
[22:03] <metalforever> right, what i said
[22:03] <metalforever> drivers arent installed
[22:03] <metalforever> or not modprobed
[22:03] <romdo> wireshark anyone?
[22:03] <metalforever> .
[22:03] <_calum> thanks Hyperbyte.
[22:03] <conbot> there is a driver installed
[22:03] <bekks> metalforever: We dont even know wether there is a wifi adapter at all.
[22:03] <metalforever> then load the module?
[22:03] <conbot> i followed the instructions
[22:03] <bekks> metalforever: And fix your . key.
[22:03] <conbot> here
[22:03] <metalforever> load the module.
[22:03] <metalforever> okay..conbot
[22:04] <conbot> i will pastebin the output of modprobe
[22:04] <metalforever> what is the name of the wifi card?
[22:04] <markit> hi, I try to make a laptop dual boot: Laptop that was born with vista, a teacher added XP (and now boots only with XP), XP sees 4 partitions, GParted can't read the partition table, nor Ubuntu 11.04 installer, any idea? seems like this http://askubuntu.com/questions/29477/ubuntu-cannot-see-windows-7-partitions-on-install except that Xp boots
[22:04] <conbot> i mean lshw
[22:04] <conbot> need to check..
[22:05] <_calum> Hyperbyte: Is AVG for Linux free or requires registration?
[22:05] <metalforever> why do you need an antivirus?
[22:05] <metalforever> use clamav if needed
[22:05] <Hyperbyte> _calum, check their website.  http://free.avg.com/
[22:05] <metalforever> but..ergh
[22:05] <_calum> not for Ubuntu, to scan windows from Ubuntu
[22:05] <metalforever> why do you need avg?
[22:05] <metalforever> oh.
[22:05] <bekks> calibwam: AVG, Kaspersky, and some more.
[22:05] <FloodBot1> metalforever: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:05] <tiox> tonyyarusso: Now, I am downloading both of them, but it now makes me wonder if there is a 32-bit / 64-bit combo disk?
[22:05] <stef1a> does anyone know how i can change my konsole colors for the directory text at the beginning of each line?
[22:05] <tiox> Because I have more than enough room on my DVD disk to burn 'em both.
[22:06] <conbot> BCM4312
[22:06] <conbot> that is the driver
[22:06] <conbot> or card, i mean
[22:06] <conbot> the driver is linux-sta
[22:06] <_calum> thanks all
[22:07] <conbot> ?
[22:07] <metalforever> conbot: try...
[22:07] <bekks> conbot: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx
[22:07] <metalforever> modprobe -r b43
[22:07] <tonyyarusso> tiox: I don't think that's possible...
[22:07] <bekks> conbot: There you go.
[22:08] <julianoliver> phaidros: it's a mess. ShuttleWorth is killing Ubuntu and Debian's getting into the touch-screen kiosk market.
[22:08] <jtr__> goodnight everybody :)
[22:08] <tiox> What if I were to use unetbootin?
[22:08] <ActionParsnip> tomodachi: not really looked into it really, it should make youtube a bit smoother
[22:08] <conbot> is that command line based instructs?
[22:08] <prower> hello :> i've noticed this problem in both 11.04 and 11.10, i've been trying to find a bug on launchpad but so far i've been unsuccessful...basically, 1) insert a usb key, 2) try to copy data to and from it, 3) either a kernel panic occurs or the transfer fails and you need to reboot to get usb functionality back :<
[22:08] <tiox> I mean, at least I should be able to use unetbootin to chainlink between bootloaders for 32-bit and 64-bit, and rename the two copies of wubi to wubi32 and wubi64
[22:10] <szal> prower: no such problem here; probably a hardware defect (USB stick and/or port)
[22:10] <conbot> That is Not Command Line Based
[22:10] <metalforever> yes, that is command line based.
[22:10] <metalforever> all instructions i am giving you are command line
[22:11] <metalforever> you need to run it using sudo.
[22:11] <metalforever> sudo "command"
[22:11] <aliasasas> asdf
[22:11] <conbot> look at step 2.
[22:11] <metalforever> or sudo bash
[22:11] <tiox> I'll give it a go with the 32-bit copy and see how well it runs from USB first.
[22:11] <bekks> conbot: apt-get is a cmdline tool.
[22:12] <prower> szal: possibly, yes...i've tried two different sticks on all the different ports with no luck though...in addition to that the "safely remove" option for USB storage causes a kernel panic when you use it :< that bug is on launchpad, a fixed kernel is in -proposed but who knows when that will be out
[22:12] <tiox> Then again, another thing unetbootin might do is not chainlink, but instead compile the boot info into the unetbootin boot loader and make a list of available distrosto boot from.
[22:12] <conbot> CHECK STEP 2
[22:13] <luca_bi> dear friends how can I do for using apache?
[22:13] <conbot> sudo modprobe -r b43 ssb wl

[22:19] <metalforever> i dont think you installed the driver right
[22:19] <BluesKaj> conbot, sudo dhclient eth1 or 0
[22:19] <metalforever> no.
[22:19] <metalforever> eth0 is not a wireless interface.
[22:19] <BluesKaj> dd he say it was wireless?
[22:20] <conbot> there is no eth1
[22:20] <conbot> only one usedc interface.
[22:20] <conbot> eth0
[22:20] <conbot> and lo
[22:20] <conbot> and virtb0
[22:20] <whyameye> I have an i7 I would like to install Oneiric 64 bit on but the live CD does not boot. Are there any options I can set on bootup with the live CD?
[22:20] <tomodachi> can anyone guide to how to switch from nvidia to nouveau? ive tried inactivating the nvidia driver in "additional drivers" but its not helping
[22:20] <wunnle> i removed default video player and i'm just using smplayer now. but my video thumbnails disappered. what should i do?
[22:21] <BluesKaj> conbot, wifi or ethernet ?
[22:21] <conbot> eth0 is ethernet.
[22:21] <conbot> i need to set up eth1 for wifi
[22:21] <ActionParsnip> whyameye: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
[22:21] <ActionParsnip> whyameye: did you burn the CD as slowly as possible?
[22:21] <ActionParsnip> whyameye: what happens when you try to boot?
[22:21] <ActionParsnip> whyameye: what GPU do you use?
[22:22] <whyameye> ActionParsnip: I verified with the burner that the data was correct but did not use md5 so i could do that. Nvidia GPU. when I try to boot the ubuntu splash screen comes up then nothing. <ctl><alt>f1 has nothing there either
[22:22] <psychx-> How do I disable compiz in Ubuntu 11.10? And how would I re-enable it if I wanted to?
[22:22] <BluesKaj> conbot, sudo dhclient eth1
[22:23] <ActionParsnip> whyameye: add the boot option:  nouveau.blacklist=1
[22:23] <whyameye> how do I add a boot option on this liveCD?
[22:23] <Jordan_U> psychx-: Assuming you want to continue using unity, you would log out, select "Unity 2D" at the login screen, and log back in. Select just "Unity" again to go back to compiz.
[22:23] <ActionParsnip> !bootoptions
[22:24] <conbot> BluesKaj: there is no interface eth1. there should be
[22:25] <conbot> damn this is frustrating
[22:25] <BluesKaj> ok conbot run iwconfig , and pastebin the output
[22:26] <conbot> .............. ok
[22:27] <conbot> how may i do that?
[22:27] <conbot> il just tell u
[22:28] <BluesKaj> !pastebin | conbot
[22:28] <conbot> lo, eth0, virbr0= no wireless extensions
[22:28] <conbot> I have no X11.
[22:28] <psychx-> Jordan_U: Is that the only way?
[22:28] <conbot> Ubuntu server.
[22:29] <Jordan_U> psychx-: No. Why?
[22:29] <conbot> what is the point in this
[22:31] <Jordan_U> psychx-: Why do you want to disable compiz in the first place?
[22:31] <whyameye> ActionParsnip: when you said to add the boot option nouveau.blacklist=1 did you mean to add that to the boot command line? If so that doesn't appear to work
[22:31] <ActionParsnip> whyameye: remove:  quiet splash    too, so you can watch the boot
[22:31] <ActionParsnip> Jordan_U: waste of resources ;)
[22:32] <conbot> help?
[22:33] <conbot> been on the computer 9 hours now.
[22:33] <conbot> help?
[22:33] <conbot> pleeease???
[22:34] <BluesKaj> conbot, , which wifi card
[22:34] <conbot> BCM4312
[22:34] <conbot> !!!
[22:34] <tomodachi> ActionParsnip: you dont have any good tips on how to get nouveau running? cant seem to getit working,eventhough disabling nvidia in additional drivers
[22:35] <ActionParsnip> tomodachi: do you have a desktop UI now?
[22:35] <whyameye> ActionParsnip: Ok. I'm seeing I/O errors so that probably explains it.
[22:35] <ActionParsnip> whyameye: on the CD?
[22:35] <ActionParsnip> whyameye: sr0?
[22:35] <conbot> help? :(
[22:36] <conbot> please!?
[22:36] <Fusionite> Hey all
[22:36] <Fusionite> Conbot
[22:36] <Fusionite> What be your problem?
[22:36] <conbot> i have been on the computer trying to get support for the same thing for 9 hours!
[22:36] <conbot> i need to configure linux-sta wireless
[22:36] <conbot> on ubuntu server no x
[22:36] <whyameye> ActionParsnip: must be on the CD. I didn't notice though. I'm checking the disk for defects now...
[22:36] <conbot> i have installed the driver
[22:36] <Fusionite> hmm
[22:37] <Fusionite> What model chip?
[22:37] <conbot> now i need to configure it
[22:37] <ActionParsnip> whyameye: did you burn as slow as possible?
[22:37] <tomodachi> sefir2
[22:37] <tomodachi> screen -x
[22:37] <conbot> the default interface for the driver is eth1. eth1 does not show on ifconfig
[22:37] <conbot> BCM4312
[22:37] <whyameye> ActionParsnip: is sr0 the cd? I didn't burn as slow as possible but I'll burn another as slow as possible now.
[22:37] <ActionParsnip> whyameye: md5 test the ISO too
[22:37] <ActionParsnip> whyameye: yes sr0 will be the CD
[22:38] <whyameye> ActionParsnip: will do. Thanks for the help.
[22:38] <ActionParsnip> whyameye: burning CDs you intend to boot from slowly helps a lot
[22:38] <ActionParsnip> whyameye: any time
[22:38] <conbot> Fusionite: help

[22:41] <prower> hello again :> is anyone here using the "mainline" kernels in 11.10? apparently the most recent one fixes the severe usb troubles i've been having, along with the kernel in -proposed...i'm not sure which i should use
[22:41] <ActionParsnip> frewsxcv: http://www.geekersmagazine.com/twitter-clients-for-ubuntu-linux/    also consider polly
[22:41] <Robdog1556> Pidgin?
[22:41] <BluesKaj> ActionParsnip, he has no X server
[22:41] <ActionParsnip> BluesKaj: which user?
[22:41] <BluesKaj> conbot, taht is
[22:41] <qin> frewsxcv: irssi + bitlbee
[22:41] <ActionParsnip> BluesKaj: I see, there ate CLI commands on the guide too
[22:42] <MonkeyDust> irssi rules
[22:42] <frewsxcv> weechat > irssi
[22:42] <BluesKaj> ActionParsnip, yeah , but he wants to install the sta driver not the b43
[22:42] <qin> !cookie | MonkeyDust
[22:42] <Robdog1556> I haven't used pidgin excessively but pidgin supports everything under the sun so i don't see why it wouldn't do twitter
[22:43] <ActionParsnip> BluesKaj: gotcha, not aware of broadcom much tbh, I always buy compatible stuff out of the box :)
[22:43] <BluesKaj> ActionParsnip, he didn't tell til after I posted
[22:43] <ActionParsnip> pidgin here, it rocks
[22:43] <BluesKaj> conbot, whynot the b43 driver , did you try it ?
[22:44] <conbot> how can i get that?
[22:44] <Robdog1556> Mainly i use xchat 2 for irc so i really dont have a good reason to use pidgin
[22:44] <frewsxcv> i'm not usre how i'd like pidgin as my twitter client
[22:44] <Barnabas> ActionParsnip, have used empathy and pidgin, and empathy still have issues with network disconnects
[22:44] <MonkeyDust> !cookie| qin
[22:44] <Barnabas> pidign is my preference too
[22:44] <BluesKaj> conbot, sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source

[22:45] <conbot> i did that.
[22:45] <conbot> nothing happened
[22:46] <BluesKaj> conbot, explain , nothing happened
[22:46] <Fusionite> Sec, Switching to Empathy

[22:47] <BluesKaj> another satisfied customer :(
[22:48] <Cam0> i have a small SMAAAL question: i just want to know if /etc/rc.local is enabled by default in ubuntu
[22:48] <ActionParsnip> Barnabas: what protocols do you use?
[22:48] <Barnabas> used use irc
[22:48] <Barnabas> today only gtalk / jabber and msn
[22:49] <conbot> HELP!!!!!!?????
[22:49] <conbot> what the
[22:49] <conbot> ejn
[22:49] <conbot> snd\
[22:49] <conbot> i am freaking out!
[22:49] <tomodachi> anyone can give me any pointers on how to get replace nvidia with nouveau?
[22:49] <conbot> please help!
[22:50] <happyface> are there official ubuntu NZBs, for downloading off usenet/newsgroups?
[22:50] <conbot> :'(
[22:50] <Barnabas> conbot, calm down
[22:50] <BluesKaj> conbot, sudo modprobe bcmwl
[22:50] <conbot> module not fount :'(
[22:51] <mikeru> tomodachi: start by removing the nvidia driver
[22:51] <mikeru> in fact, I think that's all you need to do
[22:51] <conbot> help!
[22:51] <mikeru> the nouveau driver is not removed when you install nvidia
[22:51] <tomodachi> mikeru: done, still its us (even efter reboot)
[22:51] <mikeru> (but you do need to remove nvidia to use nouveau)
[22:52] <mikeru> tomodachi: you removed it and it's still using nvidia?
[22:52] <conbot> please!
[22:52] <psychx-> Jordan_U: I want to diable compiz because everything seems to be running slow, and TeamSpeak is crashing - someone said to try disabling compiz.
[22:52] <orp> you need modprobe -r
[22:52] <tomodachi> mikeru: yeah the nvidia drivers are all greyed out now in "additional drivers"
[22:53] <mikeru> tomodachi: ...are you sure you're still using the nvidia drivers?
[22:53] <orp> i have done it
[22:53] <Jordan_U> psychx-: OK. What is wrong with the method I suggested?
[22:53] <psychx-> Jordan_U: nothing
[22:53] <tomodachi> mikeru: nvidia-setting stil works , lsmod |grep nvidia still shows the module being loaded
[22:53] <conbot> orp: no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[22:54] <conbot> THAT DID NOT WORKK!!!!!!
[22:54] <psychx-> Jordan_U: I was just wondering if there was a better way because I have a lot of things open right now.
[22:55] <orp> nouveau is crap freeze the pc
[22:55] <conbot> orp: anything else?
[22:55] <mikeru> orp: on my computer, nouveau runs perfectly well--
[22:56]  * conbot cries
[22:56] <SPELINAX> Hola
[22:56] <SPELINAX> hay españoles?
[22:56] <psychx-> nouveau is for nvidia graphics cards correct? Is there something like that for ATI cards?
[22:56] <Jordan_U> conbot: Please stop the theatrics.
[22:56] <mikeru> SPELINAX: ve a #ubuntu-es
[22:56] <conbot> well i am pissed off. i cannot help it
[22:57] <mikeru> psychx-: yes. the radeon drivers. and they're installed by default
[22:57] <Cam0> i have a small SMAAAL question: i just want to know if /etc/rc.local is enabled by default in ubuntu
[22:57] <psychx-> mikeru: I am wondering if there are any others.. I don't have some top of the line PC and am trying to make this run better.
[22:57] <Cam0> is it or i have to enable it?
[22:57] <mikeru> tomodachi: sorry, I don't remember what I did with mine to uninstall them
[22:57] <zobugtel> hola
[22:58] <zobugtel> este el chat de ubuntu en español
[22:58] <SPELINAX> Hay informáticos por aquí?
[22:58] <Jordan_U> conbot: If you cannot help it then unfortunately you won't be able to stay in the channel. We are volunteers, and this is a busy channel. Please respect the others in here and find a better way to vent your frustration.
[22:58] <Zeelot> does anyone here know if I can connect a cinema display (thunderbolt) to a macbook pro running ubuntu?
[22:58] <Zeelot> or what adapters I would need
[22:58] <SPELINAX> Hay informáticos por aquí?
[22:58] <conbot> ok
[22:58] <Jordan_U> !es | zobugtel
[22:58] <SPELINAX> perdonen pero quiten estos bots de mIERDA
[22:58] <BluesKaj> conbot,do apt-get install firmware-b43-lpphy-installer
[22:58] <conbot> BluesKaj: I did.
[22:58] <mikeru> psychx-: well, the nouveau drivers don't make them run better. if you're asking if there's a proprietary driver, such as the nvidia one, for AMD cards, there's fglrx
[22:59] <psychx-> mikeru: Ok, I will try that - I'm just trying to make things run more smoothly. Also, diabling compiz should help with that; right?
[22:59] <BluesKaj> conbot, you sure ?
[22:59] <mikeru> SPELINAX: /join #ubuntu-es. aqui nadie te va a hacer caso
[22:59] <conbot> YES
[23:00] <mikeru> psychx-: yes. are you on 11.10? try the Unity 2D session
[23:00] <conbot> BluesKaj: know what i can do?
[23:00] <psychx-> mikeru: ok, ill do that now.
[23:01] <mikeru> it uses metacity
[23:01] <mikeru> psychx-: I'm curious, which graphics card do you have?
[23:01] <ActionParsnip> conbot: could use jockey-text   may help
[23:02] <psychx-> mikeru: ATI Radeon HD 3850 (AGP) on a Pentium 4 2.5Ghz w/ 1024MB DDR.
[23:03] <Zeelot> anyone know what I can try? Does ubuntu know anything about thunderbolt?
[23:03] <mikeru> tomodachi: look at this page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/NvidiaDriverSwitching
[23:03] <conbot> well there is no interface eth1
[23:03] <mikeru> tomodachi: at the very bottom
[23:03] <BluesKaj> conbot, did you try the b43-fwcutter ? that's about all I can think of right now
[23:03] <conbot> yes.
[23:04] <mikeru> psychx-: I don't think it'd be that slow that you'd have to disable compiz..
[23:04] <BluesKaj> well then I'm stumped
[23:04] <mikeru> have you tried installing the proprietary drivers?
[23:04] <conbot> heh?
[23:04] <BluesKaj> BBL, stuff to do
[23:04] <conbot> yeah
[23:04] <ActionParsnip> conbot: if you run:  sudo rfkill list     does it show the interface is blocked?
[23:04] <conbot> linux-sta
[23:04] <conbot> when i ifconfig, eth1 is not there
[23:04] <mikeru> psychx-: are you on 11.10?
[23:05] <conbot> that is what it is when i used ubuntu desktop
[23:05] <psychx-> mikeru: Yes, it shows 2 proprietary drivers available - but one (that says post-update) will not work. And yes, I'm on 11.10.
[23:06] <SirTheSurfer> attach irc.hackervoice.co.uk
[23:06] <whyameye> ActionParsnip: I was the one having trouble booting a live CD. The MD5 checked out ok. I burned at the slowest speed and now it boots! Thanks again for the help.
[23:06] <ActionParsnip> conbot: could install desktop OS, setup the device then remove xorg and it will remove the desktop guff
[23:06] <psychx-> mikeru: Also, it is usable but everything seems very slow.. I even disabled some visual settings.
[23:06] <ActionParsnip> whyameye: always always burn as slowly as possible
[23:07] <conbot> ActionParship: but i dont want all that other crap
[23:07] <conbot> and its leftovers
[23:07] <ActionParsnip> whyameye: thats also why I always ask as people insist on burning as fast as possible, and then itmore than likely won't work ;)
[23:08] <mikeru> psychx-: well... I'm not using the ubuntu provided ones as they aren't compatible with my iMac 12,2 (it has a AMD 6770 and support was added in 11.9 which isn't in ubuntu's repos, 11.8 was sloooooow and showed an ugly unsupported hardware watermark) so I can't speak about your post-update driver problems.
[23:08] <mikeru> but, as for everything being slow, I think I can
[23:08] <ActionParsnip> conbot: the other stuff will fail deps as xorg is the underlying GUI, so it will all be removed
[23:09] <mikeru> mine was slow too
[23:09] <mikeru> to fix it:
[23:10] <mikeru> psychx-: Open AMD Catalyst Control Center, go to Display Options->Tear Free->Enable Tear Free Desktop to reduce tearing.
[23:10] <mikeru> click OK
[23:10] <Fusionite> Any Conky users here?
[23:10] <Fusionite> <3Conky
[23:10] <Fusionite> lool
[23:11] <winnie666> possibly stupid question: is the UUID of HDs the same across computers?
[23:11] <psychx-> mikeru: ok
[23:11] <mikeru> psychx-: after that, open Software Center and install CompizConifg Settings Manager (not the 'Simple' one!)
[23:11] <ActionParsnip> conbot: could keep it in the holser if you get nowhere
[23:11] <paissad_> winnie666, no
[23:11] <Fusionite> Isn't UUID Uniqe ?
[23:11] <winnie666> really? well i am happy i asked then :)
[23:11] <coolfire> hi
[23:11] <mikeru> psychx-: then go to OpenGL and uncheck Sync To VBlank
[23:14] <conbot> meh
[23:14] <psychx-> mikeru: alright ill give it a try
[23:14] <conbot> im just gonna install x and gnome etc
[23:14] <psychx-> mikeru: should i stay in 3d or go to 2d
[23:14] <mikeru> I have no idea how fglrx works and why its Sync to VBlank settings (Tear Free) conflict with compiz ones (which doesn't happen with nvidia's drivers nor any of the open source AMD and Nvidia drivers), but this fixed any choppiness on my iMac, and it's tear free
[23:14] <conbot> to make a totally loaded ubuntu system
[23:14] <mikeru> psychx-: stay in 3D and do all that
[23:14] <mikeru> psychx-: are you already on a proprietary driver?
[23:14] <psychx-> mikeru: ok awesome ill give it a try thank you for helping me, and yes i am
[23:16] <mikeru> psychx-: ok, do that. and DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING ELSE IN COMPIZCONFIG. it's incredibly broken on 11.10, and it's quite easy to lose unity and it's a nightmare to get it back
[23:16] <winnie666> paissad, UUID is stored in the filesystem, so how can it change if i move an HD from one computer to the other?
[23:18] <mikeru> anyway I came here with a question of my own. how can I use two internet connections for different applications? I have two ISPs at home, and I want to download torrents through one, and do everything else through the other connection
[23:19] <coolfire> hi i need help
[23:20] <mikeru> one is connected through wireless and the other through ethernet, but I can connect one through ethernet and the other through USB if wireless would be much more cumbersome to configure than this weird request of mine already is :)
[23:20] <mikeru> obviously, right now I'm only connected through one
[23:23] <SIQKO> gr8
[23:24] <SIQKO> alive??
[23:25] <jarubyh> Are you asking whether we're paying attention to this channel?
[23:25] <Fusionite> I just need a funky nickname

[23:26] <jarubyh> I've always wanted a lineage.

[23:28] <Virus> Yeah, Must be :)
[23:28] <SIQKO> sure
[23:29] <mikeru> and everybody else, no ideas as to what to do with my own question :( ?
[23:29] <ActionParsnip> yep, wikipedia says so too :)
[23:30] <ActionParsnip> mikeru: you can combine them to one super connection
[23:30] <mikeru> ActionParsnip: how???
[23:30] <TheCowboy> Is there any manual for Quickly?
[23:30] <SIQKO> no
[23:30] <SIQKO> probabl
[23:31] <ActionParsnip> mikeru: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBonding
[23:31] <mikeru> ActionParsnip: but I'm worried about the torrents taking all the bandwidth of both connections. even when I set transmission to slow mode I can't browse the web on my current connection
[23:32] <Virus> No one could have this nickname
[23:32] <BiosDestroyer> :)
[23:32] <ActionParsnip> mikeru: then set the bandwidth use down, transmission has that feature.
[23:32] <SIQKO> sharing ideas
[23:32] <ActionParsnip> mikeru: I have my torrent server running all the time but gated to a maximum of 2Mb/s
[23:32] <mikeru> ActionParsnip: that's the slow (turtle icon) mode
[23:32] <mikeru> right?
[23:32] <mikeru> it's on
[23:33] <mikeru> i set it to only 10 kbps
[23:33] <mikeru> and pages load slowly
[23:33] <mikeru> as soon as I quit transmission, pages load inmediatly
[23:33] <ActionParsnip> mikeru: there is the normal speed, then set the speed between the 2 times to be different (if you wish)
[23:33] <mikeru> and it's not a terribly slow connection, it's a modest 10Mnps
[23:34] <bsmith093> when i run top, what the the + next to the time column mean?
[23:35] <bsmith093> time+?
[23:35] <ActionParsnip> mikeru: if you combine both is it as impacting?
[23:35] <psychx-> mikeru: Ok, seems like it's running better.
[23:35] <ActionParsnip> mikeru: which version of transmission and release of ubuntu?
[23:36] <mikeru> ActionParsnip: 2.40, 11.10
[23:36] <mikeru> psychx-: that doesn't sound satisfactory.
[23:37] <psychx-> mikeru: what do you mean?
[23:37] <ActionParsnip> mikeru: try:   sudo add-apt-repository ppa:transmissionbt/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
[23:37] <ActionParsnip> mikeru: 2.42 version, may help
[23:37] <mikeru> psychx-: sounds like your improvement was 'just a small one'. mine was HUGE
[23:38] <mikeru> ActionParsnip: I'm on the transmissionbt/beta ppa. I did that yesterday
[23:38] <psychx-> mikeru: maybe there is something wrong with some of my hardware or something. it does seem like it is running more smoothly, but it still feels a little muddy.
[23:39] <gdoteof> i have a second wireless card (one in addition to the built in one on my laptop) and plugging it in has it automatically connect to the same network the built in card is on
[23:39] <mikeru> I was on the stable (ppa:transmissionbt/ppa) one yesterday (before I replaced it with the beta ppa)
[23:39] <theborger> anyone point me to a good readme on seting up a mail server on 10.04?
[23:39] <ActionParsnip> mikeru: you said 2.40  the ppa has 2.42....
[23:39] <gdoteof> is there a way i can seperate the two out?  i just want to disconnect it from the network and play around with aircrack
[23:39] <ActionParsnip> theborger: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MailServer
[23:40] <gdoteof> 11.04
[23:40] <mikeru> psychx-: hmm... try going to Composite->uncheck Detect Refresh Rate and set the slider below to 60
[23:40] <qin> gdoteof: first two steps are: ifconfig, iwconfig...
[23:41] <qin> gdoteof: Then probably you want to: sudo airmon start wlan1
[23:41] <qin> *airmon-ng
[23:41] <mikeru> ActionParsnip: funny, I thought I did see 2.42 in the ppa webpage, but after adding it (and of course updating the repo list) I'm only being offered 2.33-0ubuntu2 (the one included in ubuntu) and 2.40~ b3-0ubuntu<IP_ADDRESS>
[23:42] <psychx-> mikeru: For some reason it's currently set on 50
[23:42] <gdoteof> qin i did ifconfig, the second card is listed, and connected to the same network
[23:42] <gdoteof> qin so i did ifconfig wlan1 down
[23:42] <gdoteof> and it brought it down
[23:42] <BiosDestroyer> I'm out for now guys
[23:42] <gdoteof> but as soon as i brought it back up, it was reconnected to the same network
[23:42] <mikeru> ActionParsnip: huh. the beta ppa is at 2.40 and the stable at 2.42. and I thought I would be getting newer versions -.-
[23:42] <BiosDestroyer> Take care all
[23:43] <gdoteof> qin, so my question is, how can i simply disconnect wlan1 from the network it is connected to, but still have it 'up'
[23:43] <ActionParsnip> mikeru: ahh, I'm looking at Oneiric
[23:43] <qin> gdoteof: put it up and run airmon, since airodump needs card in monitor mode
[23:44] <gdoteof> qin: yeah i did that too, sorry. it says it works, the last line is wlan1 / monitor mode enabled
[23:45] <gdoteof> qin: but, if i do iwconfig, it shows mode: managed and conected to the wifi network
[23:45] <mikeru> psychx-: set it to 60 and disable Detect Refresh Rate. some people say it works with the ATI ones and I'm positive it works with the Nvidia ones, but I'm not really sure if it does improve performance with the ATI drivers as I didn't notice a difference when disabling it and looking at the difference
[23:45] <avo> hi!

[23:46] <mikeru> do note however that window dragging is still a little bit choppy, on both the open source drivers and the amd ones. I'm not sure why. But something that is much, much faster on the proprietary ones is the Workspace Switcher. try opening it and see how fast it is :P
