[00:01] <go8765> anybody help please with http://storage3.static.itmages.ru/i/11/0509/h_1304894652_c6bd4de4c2.png
[00:01] <ActionParsnip> introuble: not sure
[00:02] <robo> hi: is there a way to get unity to save which programs start on boot and which virtual desktop they go in? Like a session save
[00:02] <ActionParsnip> go8765: look in gconf-editor
[00:03] <go8765> ActionParsnip, i look already- nothing find)
[00:03] <ActionParsnip> go8765: that error is talking about gconf
[00:03] <escott> robo, for gnome2 its gnome-session-save for unity i'm not sure
[00:03] <go8765> ActionParsnip, i see, but how to fix it?
[00:04] <escott> robo, gnome-session-save will save the current session. you can add a single thing with gnome-session-properties
[00:04] <robo> escott, even for unity?
[00:04] <robo> i'm using unity as of an hour ago. And I must admit, I'm not liking it
[00:04] <cppguy> guys can you tell the command to disable wireless http://paste.ubuntu.com/604988/
[00:05] <escott> robo, i'm not sure how unity's session handling works. i would recommend giving unity a few days it grows on you. you can always go back to !classic
[00:05] <ActionParsnip> go8765: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-alsamixer/+bug/106903
[00:05] <robo> !classic
[00:05] <robo> oh, sweet. Ty escott
[00:06] <robo> i tried gnome-session-save. Let me reboot and see
[00:06] <kavurt> in google talk, i see a black screen instead of video. but in skype everything is normal. what might be wrong?
[00:07] <darkorical> anyone know anything about installing mgetty?
[00:07] <ActionParsnip> !info mgetty
[00:08] <ActionParsnip> darkorical: sudo apt-get install mgetty     after enabling the universe repo (if required)
[00:08] <aguitel> the site:myphotoalbum.com is closing ,how to download my full albums in ubuntu ?
[00:08] <quarksalber> kingofswords: try this for gaining more information about your boot environment: http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/
[00:08] <kingofswords> ok
[00:08] <turn_to_allah> smlt
[00:08] <turn_to_allah> bsr
[00:08] <darkorical> !info vgetty
[00:08] <kingofswords> i read i need to boot into windows cd and reapir
[00:09] <soreau> Alright people. I need help with this. On lucid 10.04, locales are BROKEN. I tried all suggestions I could find googling and none have worked. Every time I reboot, it's the same damn problem. Auto-tab-complete in gnome-terminal gives this message: "bash: warning: setlocale: LC_CTYPE: cannot change locale (en_US)"
[00:09] <fr00g> Can anybody help me, my Compiz Expo Plugin shows four desktops that I can use, but the Cube only shows two
[00:09] <kingofswords> fixboot fixmbr and then exit
[00:09] <darkorical> Im not sure but I dont think apt-get install  installed vgetty as well ...
[00:10] <soreau> fr00g: You have two vertical and two horizontal set. Cube only shows one horizontal set at a time
[00:10] <fr00g> Oh, okay, thnk you!
[00:10] <fr00g> *thank
[00:10] <soreau> Now someone help me fix this god damn locale before I strangle someone
[00:10] <ActionParsnip> aguitel: 15 USD for youur photos sounds pretty decent
[00:10] <quarksalber> kingofswords: then grub will be removed. you will have to install grub again from a live system
[00:10] <aguitel> ActionParsnip, i make it
[00:10] <kingofswords> ok
[00:11] <kingofswords> but thats easy
[00:11] <quarksalber> then go for it ;)
[00:11] <triton_> \server irc.battlefoundry.net
[00:11] <aguitel> ActionParsnip, for safety i want to make the download too
[00:12] <mikefmail10> Hello
[00:12] <ActionParsnip> aguitel: looks like you'll have yo access each file and save it to your system
[00:12] <aguitel> ActionParsnip, bu twith wget  to download the entire site?
[00:13] <escott> aguitel, if you want to use wget you probably want to capture the html cookies. firebug may be helpfult ehre
[00:13] <ActionParsnip> aguitel: not sure, I've only used wget for single files, maybe others can advise. Or read:  man wget    and see if it helps
[00:13] <r0fs3ck5> Is there an efficient way of playing flash in firefox without compromising privacy through flash cookies in ubuntu?
[00:13] <mikefmail10> Anyone got any suggestions for a programme to directly record from my sound card. I have tried all the obvious ones but with no joy.
[00:14] <escott> mikefmail10, arecord?
[00:14] <mikefmail10> Thanks - I'll give it a try.
[00:14] <ActionParsnip> mikefmail10: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1330728
[00:14] <quarksalber> wget 'http://example.com/images/dsc_0'{00{0..9},0{10..99},{100..251}}'.jpg' --cookie "Path/to/mozilla.cookie"
[00:14] <ActionParsnip> r0fs3ck5: what information does flash collect exactly?
[00:15] <introuble> if i setup my own sms gateway. i will be independant to send sms. i wil not incure any cost of gsm sms sending by networks. i mean i dont have to purchace gsm simcard of a network and then pay its charges to send sms to people ?
[00:15] <aguitel> escott, what is firebug doing ?
[00:16] <r0fs3ck5> ActionParsnip: pretty much everything in my home folders as far as i can see
[00:16] <ActionParsnip> introuble: if you send sms on networks you will be charged
[00:16] <escott> aguitel, its a firefox extension which will allow you to inspect the page and see the traffic back and forth to the server (including any cookies and headers)
[00:16] <introuble> ActionParsnip who will charge me??
[00:16] <go8765> can anybody help me with my sound?
[00:16] <ActionParsnip> r0fs3ck5: when? If you watch a video on youtube why does your home data come into it
[00:16] <ActionParsnip> introuble: the network you are sending the message to for using their network
[00:16] <introuble> ActionParsnip if i dont use any other networks sms gateway. who will charge me\
[00:17] <quarksalber> introuble: gsm networks are proprietary and closed. it's not like tcp/ip of the internet. you need to be registered as an telecommunication agency to send sms to others.
[00:17] <aguitel> escott, and how to download my files?
[00:17] <crash1hd> ok so I normally connet to my ubuntu server with putty via ssh and a ppk file now I am on another ubuntu installation and would like to connect to ssh ubuntu server
[00:17] <r0fs3ck5> ActionParsnip: No, but if you look in your /home/user/.macromedia.../#SharedObjects, it lists your home, as welll as sudo
[00:17] <escott> aguitel, look at quarksalber's example of a wget script
[00:17] <crash1hd> I know I can use openssh and I can install putty on ubuntu
[00:18] <crash1hd> what I am trying to figure out if I need the public or private key
[00:18] <r0fs3ck5> ActionParsnip: Or maybe I just got pwned by a bad site.
[00:18] <introuble> quarksalber ic
[00:18] <quarksalber> aguitel: or wget --recursive --level 3 -np -p --cookie="path/of/cookie" --accept=jpg,png http://server.com/dir/
[00:18] <ActionParsnip> r0fs3ck5: let me investigate
[00:18] <introuble> quarksalber so theres no point in making an sms gatway
[00:18] <introuble> quarksalber so theres no point in making an sms gatway?
[00:19] <ActionParsnip> r0fs3ck5: I just listed every file and folder in ~/.macromedia  and found no occurrence of the word 'sudo'
[00:19] <aguitel> quarksalber, this line is usefull to download in the site:myphotoalbum.com ?
[00:19] <introuble> quarksalber so theres no point in making an sms gatway?
[00:20] <steiner> what do i do about an unable to connect to cifs host when i set up a netwrok printer? i had it working before in 10.10
[00:20] <quarksalber> introuble: exactly. there are email-to-sms gateways where you can send sms triggered by an email, but you will be charged. you could hack iphones and send sms from other people phones. but that's criminal
[00:20] <ActionParsnip> steiner: if you run: smbtree    do you see the share?
[00:20] <introuble> quarksalber hm. so theres no other way?
[00:21] <roadfish> The Natty Live CD works fine and I get to the KDE desktop. But after the Natty install, I get the first two KDE start up icons (hard drive, tools) but then get bumped back to the log in window. I collected the Xorg.0.log files for Live and Installed versions.
[00:21] <escott> aguitel, thats just a example of how to use wget to download something with the cookies. first you need to figure out what your browser does when it requests a picture for download. it will submit some information including the cookies, and maybe the desired size of the image to a url, you want to capture that with firebug and figure out the parts needed. then save the cookies to a file and use wget to download the image
[00:21] <roadfish> Here are the logs and the diff of the logs:
[00:21] <roadfish> http://paste.ubuntu.com/604990/
[00:21] <roadfish> http://paste.ubuntu.com/604993/
[00:21] <roadfish> http://paste.ubuntu.com/604994/
[00:21] <FloodBot1> roadfish: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:22] <Pberg45x170x62A> su jetzt noch coolen SEX mit schlankem mann
[00:22] <steiner> ActionParsnip: it shows the windows computer yes
[00:22] <quarksalber> become a telecommunication agency, set up your own gsm station. harald welte's site showes that this is a interesting task, not that easy but it's real hacking!
[00:22] <roadfish> that third 604994 paste is a diff of 604990 and 604993 ... but with the "[   253.121]" timing information removed.
[00:22] <Rob_uk> any one know how to in php collects a users NTLOGON
[00:22] <hoey> uh
[00:23] <hoey> php collect logon?
[00:23] <hoey> good luck
[00:23] <hoey> probably keys to machine id's
[00:23] <hoey> ubuntu is overrated btw
[00:23] <ActionParsnip> steiner: then the share is sound, what happens when you try and connect to the printer. I also suggest you add your windows username and password to the connection, it should help
[00:23] <Rob_uk> @hoey i know you can do it VB but this needs to be done in php ,
[00:23] <ActionParsnip> hoey: don't use it then
[00:24] <hoey> well
[00:24] <init2winit> wow
[00:24] <hoey> ubuntu is based on linux, so
[00:24] <hoey> i'd scan for a /usr/user
[00:24] <ActionParsnip> hoey: what's your point?
[00:24] <LAcan> How do I mount a SAMNA volume to somewhere in the filesystem?
[00:24] <roadfish> So why would a Live CD install work ... but then the Installed version fail?
[00:24] <LAcan> How do I mount a SAMBA volume to somewhere in the filesystem?
[00:24] <hoey> php scan harddrive /usr/var/log
[00:24] <hoey> like that
[00:24] <steiner> ActionParsnip: the printer is connected, but when i try to print a test page, i get the cifs error. the printing worked before through the same process
[00:24] <ActionParsnip> LAcan: use nautilus
[00:25] <hoey> ubuntu networking is very iffy
[00:25] <ActionParsnip> hoey: don't use it then if its so iffy
[00:25] <LAcan> ActionParsnip, ... I am using nautilus?
[00:25] <jtoft> Is there a way to do something like; cp -r /path/to/folders/{first second third} . ?
[00:25] <hoey> i only enjoy the conversation ;actionparsnip
[00:25] <Gabriel01> Hi guys, I'm back.
[00:25] <jtoft> where each item in the brackets is called individually?
[00:25] <ActionParsnip> LAcan: yes its the default file browser in ubuntu
[00:26] <cyberfrog> best remote control software for using over a lan?
[00:26] <ActionParsnip> hoey: well you are in an Ubuntu support channel and haven't asked a question and bad mouthed the OS. You aren't doing very well so far....
[00:26] <cyberfrog> windows -> linux
[00:26] <quarksalber> jtoft: yes: cp -r /path/of/source/*    /destination/path
[00:26] <escott> jtoft, maybe bash extended globbing
[00:26] <jtoft> not with a wildcard quarksalber
[00:26] <ActionParsnip> cyberfrog: there is no single best software for any one situation
[00:26] <jtoft> escott: mmm have an example?
[00:26] <hoey> ActionParsnip: it seems based on a windows tour guide, any rebuttal?
[00:26] <cyberfrog> jeuss, whats a good remote control software for using over a lan?
[00:26] <quarksalber> jtoft: which pattern do you want to match?
[00:26] <LAcan> ActionParsnip, i dont think i follow... i have a share on my windows box, which i can mount as a network volume but I want it mounted as a folder...?
[00:26] <jtoft> not going for a pattern. looking for explicits
[00:27] <ActionParsnip> hoey: how does a windows tourguide relate to ubuntu?
[00:27] <kingofswords> errr how do i mount my ubuntu
[00:27] <Gabriel01> I guess Lubuntu is not for me.  I need something 64 bit to run my simulator with more than 4 gigs memory and all 3 processor cores, but be extremely light weight so I can easily multi tack with CPU inensive applications.
[00:27] <LAcan> ActionParsnip, that option eludes me in nautilus
[00:27] <quarksalber> jtoft: the cd into that path
[00:27] <hoey> ActionParsnip: the way ubuntu is packed to screen lay...
[00:27] <ActionParsnip> LAcan: it is always mounted as a folder, thats how mounts work
[00:27] <Benkinooby> kde?
[00:27] <Benkinooby> ubottu, kde?
[00:27] <escott> jtoft, you would have to enable it with shopt -s extglob and then i think it is @(pattern1|pattern2|pattern3) according to http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/bash-extended-globbing
[00:27] <quarksalber> jtoft: *then* cd into that path
[00:27] <ActionParsnip> hoey: you can make it work as you want
[00:27] <LAcan> ActionParsnip, I want to mount the share to my home directory...?
[00:27] <jtoft> awesome, thanks escott
[00:28] <Benkinooby> what version of kde will be installed if i install from "standard" source on lucid 10.04?
[00:28] <Gabriel01> Xubuntu doesn't seem to make my machine any faster, it seems slower infact
[00:28] <ActionParsnip> LAcan: ahh, then you will need to add it in /etc/fstab
[00:28] <Benkinooby> i only see that it is 4... but nothing more
[00:28] <LAcan> ActionParsnip, got a gui for that? lol
[00:28] <escott> kingofswords, mount it with what? live cd?
[00:28] <ActionParsnip> !info kde-core lucid
[00:28] <kingofswords> my ubuntu hdd isnt mounting even thou im in it
[00:28] <littlebearz> http://www.xxw.ca/texting-for-free/
[00:29] <Gabriel01> Iinfo lubuntu
[00:29] <Gabriel01> !info lubuntu
[00:29] <Benkinooby> !info kde
[00:29] <kingofswords> escott, no is it automaticly moutned
[00:29] <ActionParsnip> LAcan: sorry, but the file is easy to work.Find examples online easily.I suggest you simply mount the share as a folder in home and throw your user data into it
[00:29] <escott> kingofswords, that doesn't make sense... what does mount say
[00:29] <kingofswords> when i run mount | tail -1  i dont get anything
[00:29] <ActionParsnip> !info lubuntu-desktop | Gabriel01
[00:30] <ActionParsnip> Gabriel01: or you can install lxde and use that, you won't duplicate functionality then
[00:30] <roadfish> any idea why logging into KDE would fail? I log in and get those start up icons ... but then it fails and I get the KDE log in again.
[00:30] <quarksalber> kingofswords: just run mount
[00:31] <kingofswords> ok
[00:32] <Gabriel01> So maybe if I install Ubuntu 64 and then lubnutu-desktop the x-server will work the same as ubuntu, but run LXDE? and use less resources?
[00:32] <Gabriel01> Genius!
[00:33] <aguitel> ActionParsnip, you order de dvd backup ?
[00:33] <ActionParsnip> Gabriel01: yes lxde is lighter. Just install lxde and log off, then log in to the lxde session, no need to reinstall
[00:33] <ActionParsnip> aguitel: what do you mean?
[00:33] <aguitel> ActionParsnip, from myphotoalbum.com site
[00:33] <ActionParsnip> aguitel: I don't use the service
[00:34] <aguitel> ActionParsnip, a ok
[00:34] <ActionParsnip> aguitel: ohhhh you mean THE dvd backup
[00:34] <aguitel> ActionParsnip, yes
[00:34] <ActionParsnip> aguitel: please use NORMAL words instead of stuff like that, its less confusing and youo will sound intelligent
[00:35] <aguitel> ActionParsnip, sorry for my english
[00:35] <Gabriel01> okay, thanks, trying it
[00:36] <init2winit> k
[00:36] <Gabriel01> Humm, it won't let me install the settings daemon without uninstalling lubuntu
[00:39] <YellowGTO|OG> Is there other virtual machines to run Ubuntu on windows other then VMWare?
[00:39] <brontosaurusrex> virtualbox
[00:39] <Kalki> VirtualBox?
[00:39] <CyborgSmurf> Njam editor dosen't work -
[00:39] <kingofswords> my ubuntu partition isnt mounting or showing up as mounted
[00:39] <r0fs3ck5> brontosaurusrex: xen also
[00:39] <YellowGTO|OG> Thank you brontosaurusrex  and Kalki
[00:39] <Kalki> yw
[00:40] <Gabriel01> Okay, back... this is lots faster thanks!
[00:40] <ubuntuguy> I'm see being asked to install updates for openoffice
[00:40] <ubuntuguy> how can I stop this?
[00:40] <mickey> does anyone know how to add servers onto xchat? i'm tryin to connect to mibbit
[00:41] <walllable> i need help with unity
[00:41] <walllable> afk gonna watch american dad
[00:41] <FishFace> mick_laptop: Xchat - New - Server Tab
[00:41] <FishFace> Whoops
[00:41] <FishFace> mickey :)
[00:41] <quant> mickey, Network List... and then Add
[00:41] <jenkinSear> mickey -> preferences -> Networks -> Add
[00:42] <abountu> how can I connect from my desktop to my laptop (both running ubuntu, and both on my home lan, pc connected through LAN cable and laptop through wifi),
[00:42] <abountu> ?
[00:42] <mickey> yea, i think i got that part down, actually i dont know the specifics of that server to connect
[00:42] <mickey> if that makes sense
[00:43] <qin> abountu: ssh, telnet, www, nc, ftp, ...
[00:43] <quant> mickey, you have to find out the specifics
[00:43] <ubuntuguy> Sottware update manager is still asking me to install updates for openoffice, how can I stop this
[00:43] <quant> ubuntuguy, why don't you install them?
[00:43] <init2winit2> ?
[00:43] <ubuntuguy> Because I'm using unity, I have libreoffice
[00:44] <abountu> @qin, I want to connect in the sense of opening a file manager session that shows the laptop from the desktop and be able to browse files and copy things across
[00:44] <quant> ubuntuguy, did you do a clean install or a distro upgrade?
[00:44] <ubuntuguy> upgrade
[00:44] <CyborgSmurf> what is the difference between LibreOffice and OpenOffice?
[00:44] <skoubri> can anybody help with an installation problem?
[00:44] <Daekdroom> LibreOffice is a fork of OpenOffice.
[00:44] <nessuno> why does this irc have no ops
[00:44] <qin> abountu: sshfs (simplest way)
[00:44] <Daekdroom> nessuno, it does, they're undercover.
[00:44] <FishFace> mickey: http://wiki.mibbit.com/index.php/Server
[00:44] <quant> ubuntuguy, I think that's the cause of your problem and I'm not sure how to fix it, your packages probably got "messed up"
[00:45] <ubuntuguy> I knew that was the problem, I wanted to know how to fix it
[00:45] <Flannel> nessuno: It does.  But freenode policy encourages operators to not sit around opped to help catalyzing.
[00:45] <nessuno> Daekdroom ty, im just lurkin for a bit, till i get ubuntu raeg
[00:45] <quant> ubuntuguy, try removing open office and libre office and perhaps using purge and then reinstall
 You mean like a slim version
[00:45] <nessuno> ty Flannel im new here
[00:45] <ubuntuguy> Openoffice is no longer on my computer
[00:45] <quant> ubuntuguy, some metapackage still probably is
[00:46] <ubuntuguy> Where can I find the metapackage?
[00:46] <quant> ubuntuguy, I could be wrong
[00:46] <mickey> FishFace, so i just type that in the server box?
[00:46] <Daekdroom> Cyber_Akuma, nope.
[00:46] <Daekdroom> Oops
[00:46] <FishFace> mickey: Yep
[00:46] <Daekdroom> I mean CyborgSmurf
[00:46] <mickey> cool, ur the man
[00:46] <Daekdroom> A fork as in, some developers decided to create their own project, and used the (back then) latest OpenOffice version as a base.
[00:47] <Andre_Ree> I need some help fixing grub
[00:47] <Andre_Ree> I've just installed win7 which destroyed my mbr
[00:48] <quant> ubuntuguy, try playing with apt-cache search openoffice etc.
[00:48] <Andre_Ree> now I tried the root-directory-method but I just got a grub command line instead of a booting linux
[00:48] <S4RY> Andre_Ree: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[00:48] <ubuntuguy> Alright, thanks
[00:48] <CyborgSmurf> I have trouble starting Oblivion on Ubuntu 10.04. It works perfectly until I accept the "New game" then the window turns dark, like waiting or something
[00:48] <Andre_Ree> S4RY: that's the point, it does not work
[00:49] <quant> ubuntuguy, hope it helps, np... try it
[00:49] <Andre_Ree> now I tried the chroot method but it can't find "grub-install"
[00:49] <ubuntuguy> In a moment,
[00:49] <S4RY> can someone kindly test something for me ! try to post-replay in any forums.
[00:50] <pigiman1> hey, I`m using Ubuntu server and I`m trying to install Jira. I need to open new port (port 80 is busy;P) anyone can help me ?
[00:50] <skoubri> im trying a clean installation of ubuntu 10.4 lucid on my laptop and it cant install the base system. it cant be the cd, i burned it twice.
[00:51] <S4RY> Andre_Ree:  see if grub is installed ;/ grub-install -v
[00:51] <FishFace> Andre_Ree: This has worked for me a few times - http://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/grub
[00:51] <FishFace> Andre_Ree: You will need to have your boot cd handy though.
[00:52] <cyberfrog> how do you manually launch a terminal from the cli? i can't seem to find the binary
[00:52] <Andre_Ree> FishFace: I'm already running the live system
[00:52] <S4RY> Andre_Ree: i whould recover grub from Live-CD.
[00:52] <Andre_Ree> FishFace: well, I got another error message trying out the root-directory method again
[00:53] <FishFace> Andre_Ree: Good luck :)
[00:53] <Andre_Ree> "No open parenthesis found."
[00:53] <metallico> guys what was the file that contains all the boot entries for grub?
[00:53] <CyborgSmurf> Oblivion on Ubuntu 10.04, anyone got this thing work?
[00:53] <quant> CyborgSmurf, running through Wine?
[00:54] <steiner> what should i do if it says print share not accesible when i try to verify a netwrok printer?

[00:55] <pigiman1> hey, I`m using Ubuntu server and I`m trying to install Jira. I need to open new port (port 80 is busy;P) anyone can help me ? how can I open port in ubuntu server?
[00:55] <conor> lolwhat
[00:55] <conor> exploit attempt
[00:55] <conor> wth
 thank you for your help :)
[00:55] <metallico> found it: /etc/grub/grub.cfg
[00:55] <quant> CyborgSmurf, np
[00:56] <Jordan_U> metallico: What are you trying to do?
[00:56] <mickey> wow, that took me longer than it should have... thanks again FishFace
[00:56] <metallico> nothing much (just adding some boot options)
[00:57] <Corren> is 10.04LTS supposed to have ruby preinstalled?
[01:02] <Jordan_U> metallico: What type of boot options? You don't edit the grub.cfg directly unless you want to get rid of automatic grub.cfg generation entirely.
[01:03] <Flannel> Corren: It does not have ruby pre-installed, no.
[01:04] <S4RY> Andre_Ree: any progress !
[01:05] <steiner> what do i do if i get print share not accesible
[01:05] <pigiman1> Hey, how can I open port 8090 on Ubuntu Server?
[01:05] <Corren> ty flannel
[01:05] <Corren> just apt-get install ruby?
[01:06] <Flannel> pigiman1: You don't need to "open" that port, just have whatever you need to listen litsen on that port.
[01:06] <Flannel> Corren: yep
[01:06] <pigiman1> but when I`m trying to run NMAP on it \ access via browser (it runs tomcat), from another computer I get "Closed"
[01:07] <Flannel> pigiman1: Is tomcat supposed to be listening on 8090?
[01:07] <pigiman1> it suppose to be on 8080 (its Jira+Tomcat) but I changed it
[01:08] <metallico> Jordan_U, so how do you do it then?
[01:08] <Flannel> pigiman1: If you asked me, I'd say it sounds like it's not successfully listening on that port.
[01:08] <metallico> i just want to add a pramater after the "linux <path/to/kernel>" bit
[01:09] <pigiman1> why, if you have your own server running on 8080, Jira advice to change their settings by editing server.xml and replace port 8080 to another unkown port
[01:09] <Jordan_U> metallico: Change GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub and run "sudo update-grub".
[01:10] <swampy> Hi, I've used libvirt to passthrough USB keyboard to a guest, now that the guest is shutdown is there a way can use the keyboard as an input device on the host again without having to unplug it?
[01:10] <abountu> how can I access my laptop from my desktop, both running ubuntu, and both connected to my lan?
[01:10] <Soupermanito> why are ubuntu forums so god damn slow
[01:11] <pigiman1> suggestions?
[01:11] <OerHeks> Soupermanito, pay more
[01:11] <swampy> abountu, you could run a ssh or telnet server on your laptop if you only need a command line, most probaly some kind of remote desktop is also possible
[01:12] <metallico> Jordan_U, at the moment i have "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash". do i just add the option i want after "splah"?
[01:12] <abountu> swampy: how can I get it to respond to pings?
[01:12] <Jordan_U> metallico: Yes (with a space between it and splash).
[01:12] <Soupermanito> yeah rite, but then all the other sites work well bro, just ubuntu forums lag as hell
[01:13] <kingofswords> windows not showing in boot menu after resize in gparted
[01:13] <metallico> Jordan_U, ok, thank you very much
[01:13] <kingofswords> do i adjust mbr ?
[01:13] <Jordan_U> metallico: You're welcome.
[01:13] <Jordan_U> kingofswords: What is the output of "sudo os-prober"?
[01:14] <swampy> abountu, do you have ip addresses configured on both computers?
[01:14] <abountu> swampy:if I go to Places->Network, I can see both my desktop and my laptop hostnames, but if I do ping <laptop> it says it can't find it
[01:14] <xaemonic> hey guys adobeair wouldent install dofus because gtk-warning **: unable to locate theme engine in module_path : "ubuntulooks"
[01:14] <xaemonic> can someone help me?
[01:14] <abountu> swampy:the id address is dynamically allocated
[01:14] <xaemonic> i use xubuntu btw
[01:14] <pigiman1> Flannel - I`m trying to give 8080 second chance. are you sure I don't need to open it?
[01:14] <quant> !question | xaemonic
[01:14] <kingofswords> Jordan_U, there is no output
[01:14] <radhruin> Having an issue with setting my display resolution. I am tyring to get my headless box display 1920x1080 resolution when connecting with VNC. If I edit xorg's screen section and add a mode of, say, 1360x768, it works. If I set 1920x1080, it gets set to 1600x1200. Any ideas?
[01:14] <Guest70833> has /etc/X11/xorg.conf been removed from 10.10? Can I create a replacement for some override settings?
[01:15] <Jordan_U> kingofswords: Did you delete any partitions? When os-prober can't find Windows it usually means that Windows isn't actually in a bootable state...
[01:15] <pigiman1> ok I think I found the problem : tcp6       0      0 :::8080                 :::*                    LISTEN     , it listens with tcp6
[01:15] <pigiman1> how can I change it to tcp
[01:16] <xaemonic>  hey guys adobeair wouldent install dofus because gtk-warning **: unable to locate theme engine in module_path : "ubuntulooks"
[01:16] <Flannel> pigiman1: You don't need to go through a process of opening, correct.  Just have your program listen on that port.
[01:16] <kingofswords> Jordan_U,  yes deleted 2gb partition which had windows setup files on fat16 as i installed from usb
[01:16] <pigiman1> ok so now it listens on 8080 but tcp6
[01:16] <swampy> abountu, have you tryed specifying the ip to ping manually, and not by computer name=
[01:17] <Jordan_U> kingofswords: You probably deleted the System partition accidentily.
[01:17] <kingofswords> i thought it was usless as it was only setup files and not the actual installtion of windwos xp
[01:17] <cybrhuman> Guest70833: I think that xorg.conf is not needed by default, but nvidia (at least ) will read it if it is there and use its' settings,
[01:17] <pigiman1> Flannel, now it listens on 8080 but tcp6 which is probably not good because when I`m trying to connect Jira from remote computer I just get "Oops! Google Chrome could not connect"
[01:17] <kingofswords> whats that Jordan_U ?
[01:17] <Jordan_U> kingofswords: Hmm, Windows XP didn't use a System partition IIRC.
[01:17] <Jordan_U> !bootinfo | kingofswords
[01:18] <Flannel> pigiman1: Right, and that's a configuration issue for tomcat.  It's not properly configured to listen or something
[01:18] <Guest70833> cybrhuman, what about restricted modules? where can I disable nv?
[01:18] <kingofswords> ok thx...how do i run scripts..im newbie
[01:18] <abountu>  swampy: it works if I ping the ip rather than the name
[01:18] <forevertheuni> hi. I want to setup a proxy(server) to be able to have UDP traffic from it. what's the best one to do it? (only for me nothing big)
[01:19] <abountu> but how can I get it to recognise the name (given that the ip is dynamically allocated and is likely to change)
[01:19] <cybrhuman> Guest70833: to enable restricted modules from unity, try searching for hardware or drivers in the quickstart,
[01:19] <alien__> im booting ppc ubuntu 10.4 lts and is not detecting the disk in installation manager,,how can i manually mount it ?
[01:20] <swampy> abountu, I think you have to make sure your dns resolver is updated with your dynammically allocated ip addresses then
[01:20] <jmze> I'm trying to set up an old laptop as a fileserver with X/fluxbox so 2-3 users on my LAN can connect and use usenet.. I've been googling and I've seen a few things about vnc over ssh, X11 forwarding...I've tried getting X set up remotely via ssh, everything installed, startx ran without spitting out any errors..but I'm a little lost as to what I should do next
[01:20] <Gskellig> anybody have experience with mainline kernels?

[01:22] <xaemonic> kk thx
[01:22] <quant> solid_liq, what exactly?
[01:22] <swampy> abountu, or you can hardconfig the names in /etc/hosts hoping that the dhcp client keeps getting the same addresses..
[01:22] <solid_liq> quant, massive memory and cpu consumption

[01:22] <quant> solid_liq, haven't noticed it, but I've mainly tried chromium when I'm on ubuntu
[01:23] <Kalki> Which processes consume cpu and memory?
[01:23] <kingofswords> how do i run script s in terminal? just type filename?
[01:23] <solid_liq> quant, how well does that work
[01:23] <solid_liq> Kalki, the chrome browser itself
[01:23] <jmze> kingofswords, no. it has to be marked executable
[01:23] <Kalki> kingofswords, make sure it's executable and do ./filename
[01:23] <jmze> kingofswords, so do chmod +x scriptname and then ./scriptname
[01:23] <kingofswords> ok
[01:23] <jmze> yeah, what Kalki said... lol
[01:23] <quant> solid_liq, chromium? it's free software and works great on my wife's machine
[01:24] <Kalki> solid_liq, ooh, sorry, missed that. Hmm, check their task manager
[01:24] <solid_liq> Kalki, in the task manager from chrome, that appears when you hit shift-Esc, the very top process (browser) is the one taking all the ram and cpu
[01:24] <Kalki> Oh man, then I have no idea, sorry.
[01:24] <solid_liq> quant, installing now, thanks for the idea :D

Even now, I tried activating the drivers again  but to no avail and it's all a mess now. My windows etc. don't have any buttons or anything. I even did apt-get remove nvidia-current and deleted X11.conf but still the same. Help!
[01:26] <kingofswords> is something wrong with my chmod?

[01:27] <introuble> are there softwares available that auto matically dials a list of telephone numbers (ofcourse with landline and modem attached to pc)  plays a pre recorded sound file and hangsup the phone and then dials next number and do the same.  by what name these apps exist. what keywords should i use in google?
[01:27] <paul> what is the term for doing ssh -x into a remote server?
[01:27] <Jordan_U> kingofswords: You used the wrong path then.
[01:28] <kingofswords> i put the scipt file on my desktop and then cd Desktop
[01:28] <paul> i need to google stuff about doing that
[01:28] <centHOGG> Note-book: LTS
[01:28] <Kalki> kingofswords, do chmod 777 filename or chmod 755 filename make sure you're in the correct directory
[01:28] <Jordan_U> kingofswords: You forgot the '.sh'

[01:29] <ugarit> how does one mount an external HFS+ LaCie harddrive in read/write mode?
[01:29] <jmze> introuble, wardialers do something similar, not sure about getting them to play any sort of message though. asterisk is probably your best bet
[01:29] <Jordan_U> ugarit: You need to disable journaling on the filesystem within OSX first.
[01:30] <BeWilled> How do I store a bash function so I can easily access it from the terminal? Lets say I want to store a function that runs the  ls -l command and I want to save it with the name showPrivilages, so I can later write $showPrivilages myfile instead of ls -l myFile
[01:30] <ugarit> Jordan_U then it will automatically be rw when mounted in linux?
[01:30] <Kalki> BeWilled, alias
[01:30] <Jordan_U> ugarit: I believe so, yes. It certainly cannot be mounted rw without first disabling journaling.
[01:31] <ugarit> Jordan_U is it fairly easy to disable journaling in OSX?
[01:31] <BeWilled> thank you Kalki

[01:33] <bluenail> Hey, I'm running xubuntu 11.04 and am trying to set up multiple monitors as an extended desktop for my laptop.  Anyone want to point me in the right direction?  Is Xinerama still the direction I need to be looking or is there a newer system that is now prefered?
[01:33] <chris_anymouse> I am unable to copy usernames/passwords from KeePass 2.15 in Xubuntu 11.04 - any clue what might be going on? Neither keyboard shortcuts nor menu options work. Copying and pasting works fine in other applications.
[01:33] <BeWilled> Kalki, what if I want to put parameters to the function, will alias still work?
[01:35] <paul> is there any way to make a hard link that will change file names if the original file's name is also changed?
[01:35] <rage> Can 8.04 read ext4 partitions?
[01:35] <centHOGG> too old
[01:35] <paul> rage: no
[01:35] <kingofswords> finally got script to run.....my results if anyone is kind enough to look http://paste.ubuntu.com/605008/
[01:36] <rage> Drat. Thanks paul, centHOGG
[01:36] <bluenail> paul not unless you want to make a hard link to a directory, and you don't want to do that.  (unless someone knows something I don't)
[01:36] <_alazar> I was wondering today... Why Ubuntu doesn't come with compiz-config-settings and we have to manually install it?
[01:36] <alien__> im booting on a mac but the installer does not detect de har driv,,i need to mount but i have no idea how is done so i can get this installation done
[01:37] <alien__> it does not detect the drive
[01:37] <paul> bluenail: thanks, it's weird because when I do ln man, it says that you can make a hard link of a directory, but it probalby won't work....
[01:37] <bluenail> paul yeah, you have to do some filesystem hacking for that to work, and you will probably destroy your system if you get it working.  Sadly I don't understand why.
[01:38] <paul> bluenail: well thanks
[01:38] <bluenail> paul would having a cron job to copy changes do what you need it to?
[01:38] <kingofswords> Jordan_U,  http://paste.ubuntu.com/605008/ my boot script output
[01:39] <Jordan_U> kingofswords: I need the contents of the RESULTS.txt
[01:39] <kingofswords> ok 2 secs
[01:39] <paul> bluenail: nah, i'm trying to make it so I can bittorent things and then make a hard link to where they should permanently be stored, and then after they are fully downloaded it will change the name from the hard link from "avi.part" to just "avi" after it finishes... it's turning out to be very difficult
[01:40] <bluenail> paul why not a softlink?
[01:40] <swatto> hmm guys my computer loaded up this morning, works fine but the interface is  a bit messed, i can only see half of my username and the power button is missing to shut the machine down?
[01:40] <kingofswords> Jordan_U, http://paste.ubuntu.com/605009/ thx
[01:41] <paul> bluenail: because when I erase the file in the bittorent download directory (ie the original file) the soft link (in my TV sections of my server) won't work anymore, because the original file is gone.  Unless I'm missing something about soft links
[01:41] <Jordan_U> kingofswords: Windows Can't boot from a logical partition.
[01:41] <paul> bluenail: also, I'm not sure how well I'm describing my situation
[01:41] <kingofswords> ok
[01:41] <bluenail> paul ah, I understand now.
[01:41] <cyberfrog> how do i kill the unity session? it's all farked up
[01:41] <cyberfrog> which process manages it?
[01:41] <kingofswords> so do i change that in gparted or disk utilty
[01:41] <_alazar> cyberfrog, I thinkg it's gnome-session as well.
[01:41] <vaxinated> cyberfrog: why not just logout?
[01:41] <swatto> whats the shortcut key to shut the machine down please?
[01:42] <Jordan_U> paul: Just make the hard link without the .part in the name in the first place.
[01:42] <cyberfrog> vaxinated: because the session was farked and there was no logout button and ctrl+alt+backspace did nothing
[01:42] <vaxinated> swatto: ctrl-alt-delete
[01:42] <bluenail> paul Jordan had a MUCH better idea than what I was typing :)
[01:42] <paul> Jordan_U: yea, that's generally what I do, but sometimes I am downlaoding many videos in one file (hope I'm not making it too obvious what I bittorent) and then I can't just do "ln * ~/TV)
[01:43] <kingofswords> Jordan_U,  can i change the logical p artition?
[01:43] <paul> Jordan_U: I have to do an ln to each individual file
[01:43] <vaxinated> cyberfrog: ctrl-alt-delete does not give a shutdown/logout dialogue?
[01:43] <Jordan_U> kingofswords: Yes, but it can be difficult.
[01:43] <kingofswords> oh
[01:43] <paul> it'd be awesome if I could hard link a directory OR get transmission to not temporarily save as .part files
[01:43] <cyberfrog> vaxinated: no... it was the first thing i tried.
[01:44] <vaxinated> cyberfrog: what are the symtoms of your unity probelm?
[01:44] <cyberfrog> vaxinated: i no longer have an issue as i have restarted the session.
[01:44] <Jordan_U> paul: You can also create a symlink pionting to what the directory will be named. The targed doesn't need to exist to create a symlink, the symlink will just be broken untill it does.
[01:44] <_alazar> cyberfrog, have you tried disabling unity plugin in ccsm and then reenable it?
[01:45] <bluenail> paul your best bet might be to write a script to rename .part files.  sadly I do not know much scripting to help you.
[01:45] <kingofswords> Jordan_U,  do i use gparted or disk utiltu?
[01:46] <Jordan_U> kingofswords: I don't know.
[01:46] <kingofswords> ok
[01:46] <paul> Jordan_U: I don't quite understand
[01:46] <paul> bluenail: i ahve something SIMILAR going on, hard to explain
[01:47] <bluenail> paul: I am guessing the idea of just downloading things into their final destinations is too easy?
[01:48] <paul> bluenail: I can't specify to which directory each file will download when I use transmission for bittorents
[01:48] <Jordan_U> paul: Say that there currently exists a directory ~/Downloads/foobar.part/ run "ln -s ~/Downloads/foobar /somewhere/else/"
[01:48] <gustavo> alguem sabe um bom editor de video para o ubuntu??
[01:48] <_alazar> gustavo, openshot
[01:48] <IdleOne> !br
[01:49] <paul> Jordan_U: I see what you mean, but when I'm doing bittorents I end up throwing away ~/Downloads/foobar when after it has been properly seeded, then it's symlink will be gone... I'm pretty sure
[01:49] <Jordan_U> paul: /somewhere/else/ will be a broken link untill ~/Downloads/foobar/ (without the .part) exists (and will be broken again if ~/Downloads/foobar/ goes away).
[01:49] <ollie121> hey guys
[01:49] <vaxinated> yo ollie121
[01:50] <Jordan_U> paul: Many bittorrent clients allow running a command when a torrent finishes.
[01:50] <ollie121> Just testing out Ubuntu on a netbook. Any way i can get rid of the netbook interface
[01:50] <ollie121> hey vaxinated. how is it going ?
[01:50] <KM0201> !classic | ollie121
[01:50] <_alazar> ollie121, logout and in the login screen, select classic ubuntu.
[01:50] <vaxinated> ollie121: what alternate do you want to use?
[01:51] <gogeta1> ollie121: nope unity is fail
[01:51] <ollie121> i shall try that _alazar
[01:51] <gogeta1> ollie121: im running xfce
[01:51] <paul> Jordan_U: good idea, except I want the end resting place of my media to be in different places, like ~/Movies, ~/TV, ~/Pictures,  so I need to manually tell them where to go
[01:51] <ollie121> vaxinated. what di you mean by alternate ?
[01:51] <vaxinated> ollie121: i love unity!
[01:51] <gogeta1> ollie121: xubuntu kubuntu lubuntu
[01:51] <_alazar> I'll love unity when the launcher look more like docky.
[01:52] <gogeta1> ollie121: or switch to gnome classic for now
[01:52] <ollie121> a;right i shall give it a shot
[01:52] <isis> i got a problem with compiz in ubuntu 11.04, the unity was lose there is a way to fix?
[01:52] <vaxinated> ollie121: i guess you wanted an alternate desktop interface (e.g. gnome or kde)
[01:52] <ollie121> vaxinated: yes
[01:52] <_alazar> isis, have you got 3d acceleration? $ glxinfo | grep render
[01:53] <bluenail> paul: You've got me stumped, I think yor best bet is still to get a script to traverse your tree and do the renaming.
[01:53] <vaxinated> ollie121: like they said.  Ubuntu Classic is the gnome interface (alternative to using unity)
[01:53] <bluenail> I'm heading out all, going back to google and see what I can find on xinerama since nobody seemed to have a better idea.
[01:53] <ollie121> vaxinated: ah i did not know that. the name i mean. alright i shall try switching from the login.
[01:53] <isis> _alazar, comand not found
[01:54] <Jordan_U> paul: You can do anything in a shell script. Put the path you want it to end up as in a file ~/Downloads/foobar/where_it_should_go.txt, or make a symlink to the parent directory like "ln -s ~/Videos/ ~/Downloads/foobar/what_directory_it_should_be_moved_into.symlink".
[01:54] <paul> bluenail: yea, I have a script set up that... helps me a little, I'll be ok
[01:54] <Matisse> I want to let you know that I solved my problem with a Perl-script i found in the web
[01:54] <_alazar> isis, you'll need to install mesa-utils first
[01:55] <lsv> so I change my /etc/default/grub file from GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="text quiet splash" and now Ubuntu starts in text mode, the problem is that when Ubuntu finish booting up I need to press Ctrl + Alt + F[1-6] to log in, is there any way to boot to any of the ttys?
[01:55] <isis> _alazar, unable to open display
[01:55] <isis> _alazar, i just want to be back my unity
[01:56] <_alazar> isis, looks like you f*** up drivers or something.
[01:56] <toneshifter> sup all :)
[01:56] <_alazar> isis, have you got ati, nvidia...?
[01:56] <isis> _alazar, ati
[01:56] <lsv> toneshifter: sup =]
[01:56] <Note-book> NVidia drivers made my Window title bars go away and my system's behaving like a bitc# :( Removed nvidia-current etc. etc. but nothing :(
[01:56] <cyberfrog> what's the pre-unity window manager from 10?
[01:56] <toneshifter> does anybody know how why isn't ubuntu installator shows "instal allong other systems" option?
[01:56] <_alazar> isis, try installing xorg-xvideo-radeon (I think it's the name).
[01:57] <toneshifter> it did before but it does not right now
[01:57] <vaxinated> cyberfrog: what do you mean?
[01:57] <cyberfrog> nevermind, i'll just use google
[01:57] <toneshifter> ??
[01:58] <_alazar> I think he refered to metacity or compiz.
[01:58] <toneshifter> or at least how to take a part of ntfs partition without fucking up the data ?
[01:58] <_alazar> toneshifter, manual partitioning.
[01:58] <Jordan_U> !language | toneshifter
[01:58] <toneshifter> Jordan_U my bad
[01:58] <isis> _alazar, doesn't work
[01:58] <_alazar> isis, are you in classic gnome?
[01:59] <Jordan_U> toneshifter: Please pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l".
[01:59] <isis> _alazar, no how can i go there
[01:59] <Note-book> anyone? :(
[01:59] <isis> _alazar, i in a terminal
[01:59] <vaxinated> Note-book: one!
[01:59] <Note-book> vaxinated, lol. 11.04 :(
[01:59] <_alazar> isis, can you go to the login screen?
[01:59] <vaxinated> Note-book: love it!
[02:00] <Note-book> vaxinated, I hate it :(
[02:00] <vaxinated> Note-book: what is not to like?
[02:00] <LaurentR2D2> Hello. I have a problem launching Ubuntu 11.04 live cd on a Mac Pro. I see the first launch screen and then it stops on a black screen and nothing happens anymore. Anyone with an idea ? It's a Mac Pro 2006, with a Cinema display on a mini display port
[02:01] <Note-book> vaxinated, NVidia drivers.
[02:01] <toneshifter> Jordan_U im running live cd right now and trying to install xubuntu along windows
[02:01] <Jordan_U> toneshifter: I need to leave but you probably have an invalid partition table. See: http://www.rodsbooks.com/fixparts/
[02:01] <vaxinated> Note-book: what is wrong with the drivers?
[02:01] <_alazar> Note-book, nvidia wasn't superior to ati in linux environments?
[02:01] <toneshifter> i mean gparted sees all partitions
[02:02] <toneshifter> just installer does not give me an option "install along windows"
[02:02] <bonez2046> I have two identical sata drives, each is 250 gb.. both are bootable. I run off one and other has data on it I want to merge over to my main drive. How can I check to see which files are dupes, and then merge the data onto one drive so that the other drive can be for network storage and backup?
[02:02] <toneshifter> it did on the beginning
[02:02] <Note-book> _alazar, It was perfectly fine till 10.10.
[02:02] <toneshifter> but it does not right now
[02:02] <toneshifter> (after restart)
[02:02] <KM0201> toneshifter: so you'll probably hve to "manually" set your partitions....
[02:02] <gustavo> alguem sabe como que fais  para ver o I.P???
[02:02] <Note-book> vaxinated, They're messing up. Even now, I don't have any window titles or anything and the whole environment is messing up.
[02:02] <vaxinated> bonez2046: check out 'rsync'
[02:03] <toneshifter> KM0201 the question is how to do that without messing up the data on windows partition
[02:03] <_alazar> Note-book, alt+f2 and try metacity --replace
[02:03] <bonez2046> vaxinated: thanks..
[02:03] <KM0201> toneshifter: PM?
[02:03] <cordoval_> hi, anyone experiencing sudden shut downs or log offs on ubuntu natty?
[02:03] <vaxinated> Note-book: did you enable the 'hardware drivers'?
[02:03] <cordoval_> what should I check?
[02:03] <lsv> gustavo: ifconfig
[02:03] <toneshifter> k
[02:03] <cordoval_> I am experiencing that it tends to shut down or go to sleep or log off
[02:03] <cordoval_> mostly log off or send me to dark screen
[02:03] <Note-book> vaxinated, I did. It says "DRIVER READY BUT NOT ACTIVE" or something along those lines
[02:03] <cordoval_> what is this?
[02:04] <isis> anyone know how to fix my unity after broke with compiz cube?
[02:04] <cordoval_> how can I check what is wrong? I had tried to look it into the logs but not sure where to look
[02:04] <cordoval_> is this a known bug on natty?
[02:04] <cordoval_> it is really strange
[02:04] <vaxinated> Note-book: Try to get them 'Active'
[02:04] <gustavo> alguem sabe como fais para ver o I.P
[02:04] <Note-book> vaxinated, They won't.
[02:04] <bonez2046> vaxinated: one question, if I mount the other drive...I can view contents and move most contents, but some directories disallow me from moving contents..noting some permission issue..
[02:05] <Note-book> _alazar, I cant click in the box. It's all messed up :( I'm gonna quit XChat and try to get focus of the box
[02:05] <LaurentR2D2> no one has an idea of what can stop my Mac Pro from booting the live cd ? :)
[02:05] <Note-book> brb
[02:05] <vaxinated> isis: try using 'reset to default' in compiz
[02:05] <IdleOne> !br | gustavo
[02:05] <IdleOne> gustavo: www.whatsmyip.com
[02:06] <kingofswords> how do i get my windows back in the boot menu
[02:07] <_alazar> You'll need to fix the partition table and then re-install grub2, I think.
[02:07] <jim__> how can I disable nv (nouveau) everywhere and use a modeset in grub to specify nvidia driva to load?
[02:08] <S4RY> am facing this odd issue , am unable to post-/repla in forums within firefox , chromium , i've tried almost all the web browsers packed in Ubuntu , even tried ' w3m , lynx ' web browser text based .. in Chromium / i get Error 324 (net::ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE): Unknown error.
[02:08] <S4RY> in FireFox , and others along with 'w3m , lynx ' / a posting.php file pops up , would load for less than a second and would say done with a blank pageand thats about it.
[02:09] <_alazar> jim__, just install it from the propietary software manager, or whatever it's called in english.
[02:09] <S4RY> whats killing me is that i can successfully replay-post in-to forums from a windows box !
[02:09] <jim__> _alazar, I'm not sure I understand?
[02:10] <_alazar> jim__, doesn't ubuntu prompt you to install restricted drivers for your nvidia?
[02:10] <kingofswords> _alazar, how do i fix artition table?
[02:10] <centHOGG> restricted drives = hilarious
[02:10] <_alazar> kingofswords, I don't know, there are some manuals on the big G.
[02:11] <kingofswords> ok thx
[02:11] <jim__> _alazar, yes but that failed miserably so I installed the nvidia prop driver and it assumes init for the install
[02:11] <undriedsea> I am having a problem with the proc filesystem, what is the best channel to ask for help on?
[02:11] <anonymou1> last time i checked all the good driver are restricted ones.
[02:11] <jim__> _alazar, that said, I need to disable nouveau or start nvidia manually each time i log on
[02:11] <AlcariTheMad> in 10.04, i could rearrange the open windows in the gnome bar at the bottom, i just updated to 11.04 (classic) and i can't do that anymore;  is there any way to get that feature back?
[02:11] <kingofswords> is the big g , google?
[02:11] <_alazar> jim__, try downloading them from the official web, maybe an update fix i.
[02:12] <_alazar> it.
[02:12] <_alazar> yep
[02:12] <jim__> _alazar, if you don't know the answer, please say so rather that shooting in the dark
[02:12] <anonymou1> yes, you have to add that to the bottom bar
[02:13] <ThomasB2k> Is there any way to get Unity's overlay scrollbars in Lucid?
[02:13] <Soupermanito> :( i cant install gdesklets, the error is fixed in the next update and its not in the repositories and installing from scratch is a pain
[02:13] <jim__> Does anyone know how to properly disable nv on 10.10?
[02:13] <_alazar> jim__, I'm glad you appreciatte how people try to help you.
[02:13] <anonymou1> install screenlets not gdesklets ..
[02:13] <IsUp> hello
[02:13] <Soupermanito> is there any other stuff i can use to have some nice weather/clock on my desktop thats not into the panel?
[02:13] <IsUp> how can i make a cronjob work to every 2 hours 30 minutes?
[02:13] <IsUp> i mean, 10 times in 1 day.
[02:14] <centHOGG> jim__: go into synaptic and uninstall everything nvidia
[02:14] <kanrenao> can i use windows 7 in ubuntu?
[02:14] <jim__> centHOGG, i want to disable nouveau and not nVidia
[02:14] <anonymou1> wine fun.
[02:15] <vaxinated> kanrenao: use virtualbox and install windows 7 in a virtual machine.
[02:15] <_alazar> AlcariTheMad, there is a workaround that only works in present seasson. Right-click the panel and click Properties, then select and deselect "Show hide buttons"
[02:15] <X-planemaker> Hello, I am having difficulty executing a file on another drive
[02:15] <Kalki> X-planemaker, do you have execute permissions on the file?
[02:16] <AlcariTheMad> _alazar: any way to make that permanent?
[02:16] <kanrenao> vaxinated: but it's only for the toshiba laptop
[02:16] <_alazar> AlcariTheMad, no, I'm frustrated by that too.
[02:16] <X-planemaker> bash: ./X-Plane-i686: No such file or directory
[02:16] <Kalki> ls -la X-Plane-i686
[02:16] <X-planemaker> I can read the file, follow the path, but then it errors
[02:16] <Faerunner> So this is getting old. My laptop keeps losing the wireless connection at random, but it thinks it's still connected.
[02:16] <Faerunner> Thus far the only solution I've found is to force it to reconnect.
[02:17] <_alazar> AlcariTheMad, on "askubuntu" page someone said: "I'm not sure about what you're trying to achieve, but maybe running the command gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel may help as it resets the GNOME Panel to defaults, leading to a Maverick-like interface. "
[02:17] <X-planemaker>  ls -la X-Plane-i686

[02:17] <_alazar> _alazar, I've not tested it.
[02:17] <IsUp> sorry for repeating again. how can i make a cronjob works to run 10 times in 1 day. so it means 2,5 hours.
[02:18] <codex84> trying to remove transmission but i get this error
[02:18] <codex84> E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[02:18] <Kalki> and if you cd to that directory and do ./X-Plane-i686 it gives you that error message?
[02:18] <misha> I have been trying to load the 2010 version of pcb, the circuit board layout tool
[02:18] <vaxinated> IsUp: create a separate cron job for each time (at least 10)
[02:18] <misha> but the configure script hangs on the GD library
[02:19] <misha> anyone have nany suggestions?
[02:19] <rage> IsUp: I have cron entries like this: 05 0,4,8,12,16,20       * * *
[02:19] <rage> IsUp: That runs 6 times a day
[02:19] <IsUp> rage: is that correct => */5 	*/2 ?
[02:19] <X-planemaker> yea Kalki
[02:19] <Flannel> IsUp: You'd need to make two separate cron lines, one for the "on-the-hour" ones, and one for the "on-the-half" ones.
[02:19] <rage> IsUp: No idea, sorry
[02:20] <Kalki> X-planemaker, tried copying the file to another directory?
[02:20] <IsUp> Flannel: i just want to run it every "150 minutes"
[02:20] <X-planemaker> It requires being in that directory in order to run.
[02:20] <dabbish_> nick dan-work
[02:20] <Flannel> IsUp: cron doesn't let you do that though.
[02:20] <Kalki> Could make a link maybe
[02:20] <X-planemaker> I tried executing it in nautilus to no avail as well.
[02:21] <X-planemaker> ahh good idea
[02:22] <Relevant> -Sigh- it just wont let me boot
[02:22] <Flannel> IsUp: You can do one at 0100,0600,1100,1600,2100 and one at 330,830,1330,1830,2330 (I just picked 1 to start to reduce ambiguity at 0/24)
[02:23] <IsUp> Flannel: may you tell me exact syntax?
[02:23] <Flannel> IsUp: 0 1,6,11,16,21 * * * command
[02:24] <Flannel> IsUp: 30 3,8,13,18,23 * * * command
[02:25] <IsUp> Flannel: so it means 10 times in 1 day, right?
[02:25] <UnfriendlyMoose> What computer would guys recommend best for Ubuntu? A Macbook or a HP Envy or a different laptop that has better compatibility?
[02:26] <Flannel> IsUp: That's ten times, yes.  But there's only an hour and a half between the last one and the first one of the next day (because 150*10 = 1500, not 1440)
[02:26] <centHOGG> the cheaper one
[02:26] <IsUp> okay
[02:26] <IsUp> Flannel: thank you
[02:26] <UnfriendlyMoose> Well, there both around the same price @centhogg
[02:27] <tzanger> Good evening
[02:27] <UnfriendlyMoose> I want the best compatibility
[02:27] <_alazar> UnfriendlyMoose, I've got a dell and everything works fine.
[02:27] <tzanger> I'm looking at my 10.04 ubuntu box and thinking it might be a good time to upgrade to 11.04...  sudo do-release-upgrade, however, says that there is no new release available
[02:27] <kanrenao> UnfriendlyMoose: now it's time laptop's will want to suit ubuntu
[02:27] <tzanger> is this expected operation
[02:27] <tzanger> ?
[02:28] <IdleOne> tzanger: correct, you can't leapfrog release like that except from LTS TO LTS
[02:28] <IdleOne> 11.04 is not a LTS
[02:28] <centHOGG> 12.04 the next lts
[02:28] <UnfriendlyMoose> @alazer I'll take in consideration a Dell, but the Envy is just plan sexy.
[02:29] <Relevant> Anonops IRCs all down LOL
[02:29]  * Relevant /facepalm
[02:29] <centHOGG> macbook = osx
[02:29] <_alazar> UnfriendlyMoose, take a look at this http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/
[02:29] <mknarr> osx = fail
[02:29] <centHOGG> heh
[02:30] <misha> no suggestions on how to load GD library?
[02:30] <UnfriendlyMoose> I really don't like OSX
[02:30] <centHOGG> macos=mac$$
[02:30] <UnfriendlyMoose> X.X
[02:30] <_alazar> _alazar, also, check the specifications of envy and search if people is getting trouble with it in Ubuntu.
[02:30] <mknarr> macs HW design is awesome but their OS sux
[02:30] <_alazar> Arf, why i put my own nick.
[02:31] <centHOGG> pleez
[02:31] <IdleOne> !ot
[02:31] <mknarr> well enough of that back to ubuntu :D
[02:31] <tzanger> IdleOne: aha okay, thank you.
[02:31] <UnfriendlyMoose> I searched around and envys have some compatibility but the threads are quite old.
[02:31] <UnfriendlyMoose> I heard Samsungs have good compatibility
[02:32] <UnfriendlyMoose> Has anyone else noticed that Chromium won't stay as the default web browser?
[02:34] <_alazar> I've noticed that my Chromium says "NaN" minutes left in downloads and "show in folder" while my main language is spanish.
[02:34] <_alazar> xD
[02:34] <syragh> is that on 11.04 moose?
[02:35] <UnfriendlyMoose> Yes. I just installed it a few days ago
[02:35] <itaylor57> UnfriendlyMoose: I am using Chromium daily so I havent' seen thatproblem
[02:35] <UnfriendlyMoose> Ill try that instead
[02:36] <AlcariTheMad> _alazar: new question!  how do i make a specific shell script run when gnome starts?

[02:43] <Flannel> Meisje: The traditional way is samba if you have to interoperate with Windows, however since Windows 7, Microsoft finally supports NFS, which is generally easier to set up (although I'm not sure how on the windows side)
[02:43] <Meisje> Yeah, but I don't actually know how to find the drive.
[02:43] <Flannel> !nfs | Meisje
[02:43] <FordPrefect> How do I save a .tar.gz file in a particular directory?
[02:43] <Flannel> Or if you want to go oldschool (or need to interface with non-Win7 Windows)
[02:43] <Flannel> !samba | Meisje
[02:43] <Kalki> Meisje, Places if it's mounted.

[02:48] <BrianH> rage, I'm an idiot on sleep deprivation, recordMyDesktop is what I used that's giving problems with Compiz now working properly.
[02:48] <BrianH> not*
[02:48] <jimrew> how do you get in a virtual window with chroot?
[02:49] <myrk> Can someone tell me why ":(){ :|:& };:" (DO NOT RUN THE COMMAND) crashes one's computer? What does it do?
[02:49] <Relevant> hi 5 to sleep deprivation
[02:49] <bronze> myrk: its called a fork bomb
[02:49] <AlcariTheMad> myrk: offhand that looks like a fork bomb
[02:49] <lenios> xaemonic, do you have 32 or 64bit system?
[02:49] <komodo169> myrk:  i'm gonna try it
[02:49] <m4v> myrk: is a fork bomb, check in the wikipedia.
[02:49] <myrk> what part of it makes it fork?
[02:49] <bronze>  it forks off so many processes that it uses up all the system resources
[02:49] <rage> myrk: Fork bomb, it launches copies of itself over and over until your computer crashes
[02:49] <myrk> ok
[02:49] <BrianH> rage, if you could, try recording a session and move an application window from one workspace to another by click and drag.
[02:49] <myrk> thanks
[02:50] <bronze> myrk: do you know bash shell ?
[02:50] <myrk> bronze, yes, but not all its operators
[02:50] <rage> BrianH: I dont have click to drag between work spaces, but its working great otherwise here
[02:50] <FordPrefect> How do I save a file in Linux?
[02:50] <FordPrefect> every time I choose a directory to save a file it default saves it to the download directory
[02:50] <BrianH> rage, ah gotcha.
[02:50] <bronze> myrk: well in bash operators have multiple meanings, they vary based on context
[02:50] <FordPrefect> but i want to save my files in another directory
[02:51] <myrk> bronze, ok
[02:51] <BrianH> FordPrefect, how do you save?  from what?
[02:51] <myrk> bronze, so does it basically create an infinite loop that launches different processes?
[02:51] <bronze> myrk:  The key here is the ":" operator.  Go look it up on the bash page.
[02:51] <myrk> ok
[02:51] <rage> myrk: Essentially yes
[02:51] <FordPrefect> I save a file from source and then a prompt opens up and I choose the directory to save it
[02:51] <r0fs3ck5> FordPrefect: from firefox?
[02:51] <BrianH> FordPrefect, if you're referring to your browsers default download directory, that file path is set in the user settings.
[02:52] <FordPrefect> yes from Firefox.
[02:52] <bronze> myrk: yes, it "forks" continuosly until the system crashes, or until the user;s "ulimit" is reached.
[02:52] <rhizmoe_> hi all
[02:52] <FordPrefect> user settings is in preferences on Firefox BrianH ?
[02:52] <BrianH> FordPrefect, correct, the Preferences
[02:52] <rage> myrk: Basically it definites a function called :() the function definition is to run : and print he output to :
[02:53] <bronze> myrk: the ulimit command can specifiy a max # of processes for a user, creating an artificial resource limit that prevents fork bombs from bringing down the system.
[02:53] <rage> myrk: Here is the expanded version function(){ function | function }; function
[02:53] <myrk> ok, thanks
[02:53] <bronze> "how funcey! "
[02:53] <rhizmoe> where is the setting that recreates my windows after a reboot?
[02:53] <jmze> i installed X and have fluxbox running on my server, now I need to get x11vnc working... it spits out an error about no display running
[02:54] <BrianH> FordPrefect, Edit > Preferences > General Tab ... There's a path setting to set the default download directory.
[02:54] <myrk> oh I get it, so it creates a function that calls itself in another process?
[02:54] <litropy> To get Bluetooth working upon bootup, I have to sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart
[02:54] <lsv> does anyone know how to make Ubuntu start in text mode and at tty2?
[02:54] <litropy> any idea how to fix?
[02:54] <r0fs3ck5> FordPrefect: go into firefox.  brose to edit->preferences->general.  select download directory in the dialogue provided
[02:55] <komodo169> myrk: that sucked really bad - i'll never do it again, but it's not like you didn't warn me
[02:55] <FordPrefect> Got it. Thank you BrianH  and r0fs3ck5
[02:55] <myrk> komodo169, sorry about that :p
[02:55] <BrianH> FordPrefect, No worries. :)
[02:55] <jimrew> CAN YOU START UP UBUNTU IN CHROOT IN A VIRTUAL WINDOW??????
[02:55] <komodo169> myrk:  lol - live and learn, no permanent damage
[02:56] <jmze> Here is the error I get when I  try to start x11 : http://pastebin.com/LfNPRB0M
[02:56] <rage> myrk: program called A { run A and copy its output to A, background that task } end definition. Run program A
[02:56] <Omega> !chroot | jimrew
[02:56] <r0fs3ck5> FordPrefect: I might add that some third party plugins have their own download folder settings, so if you are using one, look for it's special dialog
[02:56] <myrk> rage, thanks.
[02:57] <jmze> oops, I meant x11vnc
[02:57] <lsv> I tried changing /etc/default/grub file to this GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="text quiet splash" but it stays in tty7.
[02:57] <pr4ka5a> !ls
[02:57] <lenios> lsv, don't forget to run update-grub once edited
[02:58] <jimrew> when you make a custom live cd AND it extracts the files to the home folder HOW DO YOU START A VIRTUAL GDM IN IT
[02:58] <bronze> myrk:   >>><myrk> oh I get it, so it creates a function that calls itself in another process? <<<   No, it doesn't call itself, it spawns off another new copy of itself, a new process. (we call this forking because where there was one proc, thee are now two )
[02:58] <lsv> lenios: I did and it just boots and stays in tty7
[02:58] <myrk> bronze, that's what I kinda meant. xD
[02:59] <lenios> lsv, what are you expecting?
[02:59] <Dr_Willis> jimrew:  i dont think if you 'chroot' the term 'virtual' applies.
[02:59] <bronze> myrk: yeah, I noticed that was a possible dual interpretation.
[02:59] <lsv> lenios: Is there a way to boot to another tty?  Like tty2?
[02:59] <Dr_Willis> jimrew:  and  it may take some setting up to run any X apps from a chrooted enviroment.
[03:00] <Dr_Willis> bbl
[03:00] <jimrew> just a fake window like reconstructor
[03:00] <bronze> myrk: so i elected myself peevologist to promote the vocabulary thats traditionally used to talk about it.
[03:00] <myrk> bronze, ok :)
[03:00] <bronze> "peeve Ho! "  :-)
[03:00] <myrk> thanks for helping me
[03:01] <bronze> NP.   ( incomplete)
[03:01] <lenios> lsv, i don't think it's grub related
[03:01] <bronze> [now that was a bad pun! ]
[03:01] <Faerunner> I give up on the wireless issue for tonight. I'll check back in tomorrow.
[03:01] <sonic0568> does anyone kown how to install the SOCKETCOM DUAL SERIAL PC-CARD driver?
[03:02] <lsv> lenios: so I just have to Ctrl + Alt + F2 everytime?
[03:02] <lenios> see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialConsoleHowto , there's an option to force a linux command line argument from grub
[03:03] <jmze> anyone have any idea why x11vnc won't start? http://pastebin.com/LfNPRB0M
[03:03] <leo> olá
[03:03] <lsv> lenios: Ok I'll read it, thanks.
[03:03] <jimrew> ok its like makeing a custom live cd and then wanting to Customiz it in a fake window
[03:05] <jimrew> ok its like makeing a custom live cd and then wanting to Customiz it in a fake window
[03:05] <FordPrefect> I'm trying to install a .tar.gz file and when I go to install it as I have installed previous .tar.gz files I get this returned back to me: error: package directory 'pymouse' does not exist
[03:07] <sonic0568> thanks,lenios
[03:10] <lenios> jimrew, you don't need (and probably don't want) to run a gdm window, just use the command line
[03:10] <jordotech> if i want to downgrade the php version on my server (natty) is it as simple as just removing php and installing the other version?
[03:10] <jimrew>  command line is to hard for me
[03:10] <lenios> jordotech, i'd say yes
[03:10] <jon5000> help.  I am using xubuntu, just uninstalled compiz and now havve no window manager.  worse, the window decorations dont include any buttons and I cant move them around.  can anyone help?
[03:10] <jefferyw> whats the fastest way to put a root terminal up on my panel?
[03:11] <mknarr> jefferyw, r u using gnome ?
[03:11] <lenios> jimrew, then just stick to the default gdm
[03:11] <jefferyw> ubuntu 11.04 gnome I think
[03:11] <jimrew> ohh never mind :(
[03:12] <mknarr> jefferyw, ok under i think its  system> accessories  you will see terminal right click and  "add to panel" something liek that
[03:12] <jmze> is there anyone here that can help me with x11vnc?
[03:12] <jefferyw> ok
[03:12] <soreau> FordPrefect: You'd need to install pymouse first
[03:12] <mknarr> i havent used gnome desktop in a while
[03:13] <jefferyw> I dont see it under system
[03:14] <mknarr> jefferyw,  o shit you are using the new desktop  with 11.04 let me look it yp havent used that one at all
[03:15] <bullgard4> What does the term »Google Custom Search« mean as in http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppas/47 ? (I am uncertain about "Custom". I would understand »Google Search«.)
[03:15] <IdleOne> bullgard4: that is offtopic for #ubuntu
[03:15] <jefferyw> the command is $ gnome-terminal
[03:15] <jefferyw> how would you start that as root
[03:15] <mknarr> well if you have the command just make a short cut using that command  on your desktop
[03:16] <bullgard4> IdleOne: Ok.
[03:16] <jefferyw> sudo gnome-terminal    ?
[03:16] <jefferyw> doesnt work
[03:16] <mknarr> umm
[03:17] <IdleOne> jefferyw: sudo -i   for a root prompt
[03:17] <mknarr> jefferyw, like i said im not fimilar with unity yet sorry not 100% sure
[03:17] <Chippendale> how do i register my nick?
[03:17] <judeibe> Chippendale,  ./nickserv identify password email
[03:18] <judeibe> Chippendale sorry ,  ./nickserv register password email
[03:18] <lsv> maybe you could try System -> Main Menu.  Then on left panel click System Tools then you should see the Root Terminal
[03:18] <Chippendale> thanks jude
[03:18] <drcode> hi all
[03:18] <drcode> I am looking for way to put all my rss links in central server and use rss reader to read them any idea?
[03:18] <jefferyw> gksudo gnome-terminal
[03:19] <jefferyw> will ask for your user password
[03:19] <jefferyw> then drop into a root shell
[03:19] <mknarr> k
[03:19] <jefferyw> no way to make it so you dont need to type your password in :(
[03:20] <Chippendale> no vhost channel in this network?
[03:21] <IdleOne> jefferyw: that is a bad idea. at least have it ask for the password when launching.
[03:21] <IdleOne> Chippendale: #freenode
[03:21] <Chippendale> thanks

[03:25] <dommer-> Anyone here use sabayon?  I have a friend who needs help
[03:26] <Hoyt> hi , how can i change gdm theme in xubuntu ?
[03:26] <Hoyt> where's the configuration file of gdm located ?
[03:26] <dommer-> ? like what chu mean?
[03:27] <Hoyt> on gentoo themes stored in /usr/share/gdm/themes , configuration file on /etc/X11/gdm/custom.conf
[03:27] <whoever> hi all isn't there a doc/wikki on installing banboo wacom, i keep running across outdated stuff
[03:27] <Hoyt> but those were not discovered in xUbuntu
[03:27] <dommer-> well then I'm not sure D:
[03:28] <Xeneth> thien:  not sure, should read 211.17MiB if cli is right,  but you got to remember, the cli is a snapshot.  That was at the time of the command, not at the time of the prntscrn.  The GUI auto updates.
[03:28]  * dommer- could still use help on the sabayon problem
[03:29] <r0fs3ck5> How do you route DNS traffic through tor using ubuntu 10.04?
[03:29] <claug> having problems activating my wireless card, any available for some help with this....i thought it was my broadcom card so i swapped it out for an intel wireless card in my laptop, sadly no luck with it either.....
[03:30] <socratesxd> there are any ubuntu irc chat that speak spanish?
[03:30] <dommer-> pretty sure Xchat has that option senior
[03:31] <socratesxd> i'm talkin about a channel, dommer
[03:31] <dommer-> oh
[03:31] <socratesxd> do you know any?
[03:31] <jmze> So I managed to get x11vnc running by logging into the box directly, so according to http://www.karlrunge.com/x11vnc/faq.html#faq-xperms it is a permissions issue. Now , anyone know if I can set it up so that the laptop(server) is not logged in, just at the command line, but the VNC server stays running and greets users with a login, like xdm?
[03:32] <Xeneth> Possibly if you get on a Spanish server, may be in channel list.
[03:32] <socratesxd> do you know any spanish server, xeneth?
[03:33] <bullgard4> !wireless | claug
[03:34] <claug> ubottu: thanks i will look it over
[03:34] <m4v> socratesxd: #ubuntu-es for spanish support, #ubuntu-es-offtopic for spanish chat.
[03:34] <bullgard4> !guidelines
[03:34] <socratesxd> thanks, m4v!
[03:34] <Xeneth> socratessxd: sorry, no.  Fairly new to IRC, I just thought of it by what I have seen of it thusfar.

[03:36] <iSkorup> Hi
[03:37] <iSkorup> Hi LjL-Temp
[03:40] <pythonirc101> i'm downloading LTS
[03:41] <Guest73672> is there a way to change to login screen so yoyu have to type your user name, not select it from a list ?
[03:42] <Xeneth> Anyone else have a slowdown issue after going to 11.04?
[03:42] <izinucs> Xeneth: quite the opposit
[03:42] <iszak> is there a bash script that I can alias rm to to prevent rm -fr of any of the first level folders in root or root itself (I know there's a switch for that)
[03:44] <godmachine81> anyone know how to remove the favorite bar on the right side of the screen in gnome 3?
[03:44] <iszak> godmachine81, how'd you get gnome 3?
[03:44] <iszak> godmachine81, 11.04?
[03:44] <godmachine81> ugh
[03:44] <godmachine81> dont make me say it
[03:44] <Xeneth> While it's not all the time, seems Ubuntu has trouble logging in and comming out of locked state now.
[03:45] <godmachine81> lol all the other rooms are dead and i know this one has the most ppl that would most likely respond since this isn't distro specific
[03:45] <claug> ubottu: doing an lspci is not even showing any intel wireless card in the system, same with the broadcom card....
[03:45] <iszak> godmachine81, I know you can get it via ppa, but I mean doesn't that break unity?
[03:45] <godmachine81> i don't use unity
[03:45] <sprung> i heard Unity breaks all kinds of stuff
[03:45] <AndChat-> Unity is poop
[03:45] <godmachine81> unity is a rip off of gnome-shell
[03:45] <iszak> heh, you really can't message unity without people bashing it, seems to be a lot of backlash.
[03:46] <Guest73672> claug: is it a wireless card or a usbstick?
[03:46] <sprung> i also heard that if i upgrade i will have problems with my Synergy setup (i use several pc's and a laptop at work, hooked together with Synergy)
[03:46] <godmachine81> ubuntu rushed in releasing 11.04 and wanted it to have the gnome 3 look without being gnome 3.. so they implemented unity with gnome 2.3
[03:46] <Guest73672> godmachine81: will dist-upgrade me from 10 to 11 or am i missing something ?
[03:46] <claug> yes it is a mini PCI-e cards
[03:46] <sprung> everything i use at work is Ubuntu.
[03:46] <mahir256> wonder why...
[03:46] <Xeneth> That could be the logging in issue I was just talking about.  :)
[03:47] <godmachine81> Guest73672:: change your /etc/apt/sources.list  to 11.04   then do apt-get update  then do apt-get dist-upgrade and it should have ya..
[03:47] <sprung> canonical didn't learn their lesson from the Hardy upgrade.
[03:47] <sprung> they did it again.
[03:48] <godmachine81> but im not an ubuntu user so why you ask me i have no clue lol
[03:48] <claug> Guest73672: they are both mini PCI-e cards
[03:48] <froq> How the **** do I change text color in xChat?!  I went to preferences and thought I was doing it correct, however it was to not avail!
[03:48] <itaylor57> godmachine81: wrong information
[03:48] <FordPrefect> Hey when I go to install a .tar.gz file in terminal  I get this response. can anyone explain it to me: error: package directory 'pymouse' does not exist
[03:48] <godmachine81> itaylor57:: i don't see why it wouldn't work that way..
[03:49] <xerophyte> i setup internet connection sharing it was working and assigned my eth0 to <IP_ADDRESS> .. how can i disable the internet sharing so my eth0 does not get this 10.42.43.x ip ?
[03:49] <izinucs> !upgrade | Guest73672
[03:49] <Guest73672> claug: what about hardware detect tool, lspci should to it though what does dmesg show
[03:49] <xerophyte> everytime i boot i get <IP_ADDRESS> on my eth0 .. how can i setup that where do i configure that
[03:49] <itaylor57> godmachine81: like you said you are not an ubuntu user
[03:49] <godmachine81> itaylor57:: i have used it for years in the past, however i do things by the command line.. not a GUI
[03:50] <mahir256> FordPrefect: are you installing something requiring python? get the package and try again
[03:50] <FordPrefect> Yes I am installing something Python related.
[03:50] <izinucs> xerophyte: you want to configure the ip address?  the network icon up by the clock should let you configure a static ip if you want..
[03:50] <Xeneth> xerophyte: /etc/network/interfaces
[03:50] <mahir256> then get pymouse, install/compile it, and try again
[03:51] <xerophyte> izinucs: i want to configure the dhcp with my router .. my box is aleays come with <IP_ADDRESS> how can i change that .. thatn i manually do dhclient eth0 then i get the ip
[03:51] <runa> heyas. I would like to sync a folder every time I plug my phone into my computer. I checked udev (seemed to be too much), and nautilus and gnome-volume-manager's autorun, but I don't want the 'autorun prompt popup'. Any hints?
[03:51] <xerophyte> izinucs: i have xfce i could not find the network icon
[03:52] <xerophyte> Xeneth: i don't have naything in the network/interface all i have auto lo iface lo inet loopback
[03:52] <Guest73672> godmachine81: the hotest disto in sources list is 10.04
[03:52] <xerophyte> izinucs: where can i change these setting from shell
[03:52] <izinucs> xerophyte: that address then is a default because dhcp isn't getting an address from the router.. which is why the manual method works. you could install wicd or network-manager if they are not present and it should work normally
[03:52] <spencer> hi guys i got a couple issue from upgrading to natty :(.. can anyone help? 1)my ath5k doesn't work anymore.. 2) Nvidia Driver is not working 3) My Sound works on the entry sound then stop working as soon as it's in gnome..
[03:53] <izinucs> xerophyte: Xeneth said it best.. /etc/network/interfaces .. google for how to set it to a static address..
[03:53] <froq> does anyone in here know anything about xchat?
[03:53] <xerophyte> izinucs: i mean when boot .. the network interface is configured with <IP_ADDRESS> .. how can i disable that .. i could not find  way to disable that
[03:53] <xerophyte> hmmm
[03:53] <xerophyte> izinucs: there should be way to disable this internet sharing <IP_ADDRESS> and put in normal dhcp hmmm
[03:53] <claug> Guest73672: no luck on the dmesg either....
[03:53] <bastidrazor> froq: everyone in #xchat does.
[03:54] <AndChat-> Lol
[03:54] <Xeneth> xerophyte: You trying to set static IP or use DHCP/
[03:54] <froq> bassliner: o wow!  I will have to jump over there!!! :)
[03:54] <madsailor> I am having problems installing the PUEL Vbox 4.0.6 on Ubuntu 11.04. 'Package is of bad quality'.  Anyone else have this issue?
[03:54]  * froq thanks bassliner
[03:54] <claug> Guest73672: what is hardware detect tool?
[03:54] <xerophyte> Xeneth: trying to use dhcp from router .. but i did setup inetenet sharing before i get assigned <IP_ADDRESS> from somewhere
[03:55] <xerophyte> Xeneth: just want to disable that and dhch from the router
[03:55] <xerophyte> Xeneth: this box is configure to share from wireless before
[03:55] <preecher> just installed 11.04---trying to do updates & it says failed on the translation packages---on the main server & on a closer server as well--is this anything i need?
[03:55] <Xeneth> xerophyte: From what you said, sounds you computer has a script that runs at boot and does the configuration.
[03:55] <spencer> anyone have issue with ath5k?? is the kernel patched yet?
[03:55] <Guest73672> claug: hold on let me find on in aptitude
[03:56] <xerophyte> Xeneth: may be but how can i disable this
[03:56] <claug> Guest73672: sure thing
[03:56] <xerophyte> Xeneth: i forgot how did i setup the connetion sharing hmmm
[03:57] <Xeneth> xerophyte: I don't remember the location, but give me a sec.

[03:57] <ayecee> using 11.04, boot hangs right around detecting disks.. but continues for a little bit if I hit any key (e.g. ctrl). If I keep on hitting keys, it eventually finishes booting. It's as if it's not getting an interrupt it's expecting. Any ideas for troubleshooting?
[03:57] <xerophyte> Xeneth: thats command does it
[03:57] <celthunder> spencer:most things use ath9k instead of ath5k now
[03:57] <xerophyte> Xeneth: i am not sure where is it getting thos config
[03:58] <Guest73672> claug: i was wrong lspci is your best bet man
[03:58] <Xeneth> xerophyte: look around in /etc/init.d/  It's likely you have a bridge setup.
[03:58] <spencer> celthunder: is that driver backward compatible to older cards??my card is around 6-7 yrs old :(
[03:58] <Guest73672> is 11.x officialy out or is it pre-release
[03:58] <xerophyte> Xeneth: did grep 10.42.43 /etc/* -r   i got nothing
[03:59] <Medjai> How can i find out what driver my wirless card is using?
[03:59] <celthunder> spencer: should be not sure about thatfar back b ut mt card used to be ath5k and is now ath9k
[03:59] <celthunder> Medjai: lsmod
[03:59] <Turkusama> Officially out...
[03:59] <claug> Guest73672: hmmm and its not displaying that there is any intel wireless card....i guess i'm screwed hey
[03:59] <Guest73672> Turkusama: it doesn't show up under update manager
[04:00] <cowslammer> ayecee i had that problem with earlier versions of ubuntu, never figured out what causes it
[04:00] <Guest73672> claug: check dmesg
[04:00] <Turkusama> Try d/ling from ubuntu.com?
[04:00] <Guest73672> there should be something about the cards there
[04:01] <claug> Guest73672: doing it right now....one sec
[04:01] <Medjai> celthunder it says that my MAC80211 <--- asuming this is my wireless card since it's the IEEE protocol has 2 things listed next to it [iwlagn, iwlcore]
[04:01] <_joe> hey guys, really dumb question but google's failing me: i upgraded to natty and now have unity -- how can i re-order my quick launch icons? dnd doesn't seem to work...
[04:01] <Medjai> so is it iwlagn or iwlcore?
[04:01] <Xeneth> xerophyte: your going to have to look into the files yourself and google the settings.  I don't know exactly how it's setup.
[04:01] <Guest73672> Turkusama: d/ling == download ?
[04:01] <xerophyte> Xeneth: i didn't do any special setup its something default with ubuntu
[04:02] <xerophyte> hmmm
[04:02] <xerophyte> Xeneth: how can i start this network manager with xface intercae i could not find the binarry to start it
[04:02] <Turkusama> Yea, sorry. Old AOL terminology
[04:02] <Xeneth> xerophyte: Like I said /etc/init.d/  and /etc/network/interfaces are the likely places you will need to be.
[04:03] <Guest73672> lol
[04:03] <claug> Guest73672: oh man theres soo much to go through in dmesg....i don't even know what i'm looking for...so far nothing about the intel wireless card though...
[04:04] <Guest73672> claug: try to tail to a file or cat it all to a fil then grep for manufacturer name
[04:08] <spencer> having issue with my sound cards.. it plays the sound when gnome login. but doesn't play any sound after.. is this an ALSA issue or the driver issue?
[04:08] <Guest73672> claug: check out tofrodos is you go win to lin with thx files
[04:09] <claug> Guest73672: ok nothing in dmesg, going to take your suggestion to check out tofrodos right now...
[04:10] <FordPrefect> Hey guys im trying to install a .tar.gz file (Python) on Ubuntu and I get the following error
[04:10] <FordPrefect> SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character '\x8b' in file tweepy-1.4.tar.gz on line 1, but no encoding declared; see http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html for details
[04:10] <FordPrefect> What does it mean ?
[04:10] <S4RY> spencer: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting
[04:11] <celthunder> FordPrefect: tar xzf tweepy-1.4.tar.gz
[04:11] <Turkusama> Try redownloading the package?
[04:11] <celthunder> FordPrefect: it's compressed lol decompress it with that first
[04:11] <FordPrefect> Thanks cellardoor .
[04:11] <claug> Guest73672: thanks for your help, i will keep trying some things....more reading to do i guess....hehe...cheers
[04:12] <r0fs3ck5> How can I edit resolv.conf in ubuntu
[04:12] <celthunder> r0fs3ck5: sudo vi /etc/resolv.conf (replace vi with editor ofchoice)
[04:13] <izinucs> r0fs3ck5: use nano instead of vi and you won't get lost.
[04:13] <r0fs3ck5> celthunder: when I write out the file, it is automatically replaced with another version.
[04:13] <celthunder> r0fs3ck5: turn off dhclient or put it /etc/resolv.conf.head or .tail
[04:13] <Guest73672> claude2: np
[04:13] <litropy> After bootup, why do I have to restart bluetooth in order to get it to work?
[04:14] <Guest73672> do i need to change anything in update manager from default to get 11
[04:14] <r0fs3ck5> celthunder: thanks.  is there a config file for interfaces that I can make them static by default?
[04:14] <vietred> why does ubuntu choose empathy over pidgin?
[04:15] <KM0201> vietred: does it matter?.. you can install pidgin from th repos very easily.
[04:15] <Turkusama> I want to resize my ubuntu partition, will I get an error when I unmount the partition?
[04:15] <doc|home> KM0201: A lot of newbies wouldn't. They'd just say "this sucks" and go back to windows
[04:15] <KM0201> Turkusama: if the partition is in use, it won't let you
[04:16] <KM0201> doc|home: what do you mean?
[04:16] <doc|home> I really don't know how empathy was even considered for "production" usage
[04:16] <Guest73672> Turkusama: use gparted and no
[04:16] <bastidrazor> r0fs3ck5: are you using nm-applet?
[04:16] <doc|home> KM0201: empathy
[04:16] <KM0201> doc|home: empathy is fine... many don't like pidgin, because it sucks for voice/video (if it even works) supposedly this was one reason for the switcht o empathy... i don't use empathy, so i don't know
[04:16] <vooze> I'm formating my external WD my book now.. (usb 3.0) but should i use ext3 or 4? its for my mediacenter (so tv shows, movies etc.) any advice??
[04:16] <r0fs3ck5> bastidrazor: yes
[04:17] <Turkusama> I have gparted, but I only have one partition. Do I need to boot into a boot disk or something?
[04:17] <bastidrazor> r0fs3ck5: you can set which servers you wish to use there.
[04:17] <r0fs3ck5> bastidrazor: thanks, that would be handy.
[04:17] <doc|home> KM0201: empathy's not fine any time I've ever tried it. Buggy as hell and horrible UI.
[04:17] <vietred> doc|home: totally agree, one of my friends just look at ubuntu for 5s and then she tell me this is hard to use @_@
[04:17] <pritojs> I'm having issues with unity
[04:18] <pritojs> it just hangs when i leave it idle
[04:18] <Datz> anyone use package uptimed?
[04:18] <pritojs> it's a bug
[04:18] <pritojs> anyone find a workaround?
[04:18] <doc|home> vietred: install pidgin and ignore empathy. It's horrible.
[04:18] <Datz> anyone use package uptimed? All of my records suddenly disappeared
[04:18] <combbreaker> Hi. My terminal isn't working properly along with some other thins in 11.04. Just happened all of a sudden. Could the files be corrupted?
[04:19] <Datz> doc|home: but empathy has video chat, correct?
[04:19] <vietred> doc|home: I've already done that, I just wonder why ubuntu doesn't make pidgin as default
[04:19] <KM0201> vietred: if your friend really looked at it for "5sec and said its hard to use"... your friend is hopeless, and needs to stay w/ windows...
[04:19] <doc|home> Datz: I haven't used that to be honest.
[04:19] <bastidrazor> r0fs3ck5: if you've created a profile for the current connection you're using then right click nm-applet > edit connections > highlight said profile > edit  > ipv4 settings
[04:19] <doc|home> vietred: no idea, not integrated as much as empathy into gnome maybe?
[04:19] <Datz> doc|home: I haven't either, and I also agree with your first statement  :P
[04:20] <doc|home> Datz: :)
[04:20] <doc|home> Datz: I don't want people to know I'm naked when I talk to them on the internet¬
[04:20] <doc|home> !
[04:20] <KM0201> empathy isn't that bad, but i admit, its the first thign to go on a new install
[04:20]  * doc|home waves!
[04:20] <pritojs> @ combbreaker: what's the prob with the terminal?
[04:20] <Datz> doc|home: lol
[04:20] <Datz> doc|home: I do 0_0
[04:21] <combbreaker> It's not displaying the blinking prompt or anything.  Gedit's the same way.
[04:21] <crash1hd> Anyone know how I can make this work in fstab? /media/MyOS/Documents\ and\ Settings/Crash1hd/Desktop /home/crash1hd/Desktop none rw,bind 0 0 all it says is line 18 in /etc/fstab is bad when I do sudo mount -a
[04:21] <doc|home> Datz: hehehe
[04:22] <vietred> KM0201: I'm just a black sheep in the herd of windows' lovers, so lonely...
[04:22] <r0fs3ck5> bastidrazor: thanks, already there.  Is there a config file where NM-Applet stores it's output?
[04:22] <KM0201> vietred: i understand (been there)... but if someone really looks at it for 5sec, and says its hard.. then they are hopeless, and trying to convince them, is a total waste of time
[04:22] <combbreaker> I believe they still accept input though.
[04:22] <bastidrazor> r0fs3ck5: i'm sure there is but i don't know its location. if you can edit it in the GUI then why would you need its actual file?
[04:22] <combbreaker> If I'm using Gedit and press a key it'll put an asterisk in the title.. but still noting is being displayed. Not even the GUI
[04:23] <r0fs3ck5> bastidrazor: Makes it easy to copy config over in new VMs.
[04:23] <Guest56876> unity 很好用
[04:23] <Secluded1> <--- still using 10.10...
[04:23] <zaery> same
[04:24] <doc|home> I'll give it a few more weeks before upgrading
[04:24] <doc|home> unity--
[04:25] <Datz> I took the plunge with the beta
[04:25] <Datz> then things broke and I now have debian on my laptop
[04:25] <doc|home> hah
[04:25] <Datz> now I have problems with Debian :)
[04:27] <Datz> having to edit /etc/reslov.conf every time I connect to the Internet to change the nameserver gets old
[04:27] <bin_bash> if skype is continually freezing my computer where should i checke for errors?
[04:27] <bastidrazor> r0fs3ck5: ~/.gconf.system/networking/connections ..look in there
[04:28] <bastidrazor> r0fs3ck5: ~/.gconf/system/... rather
[04:28] <Burzmali> Hi all, I need an alternate to Unity, what options do I have
[04:28] <r0fs3ck5> bastidrazor: thank you
[04:28] <bastidrazor> r0fs3ck5: you're welcome.
[04:28] <vietred> Datz: try to see if there is any "networking manager"
[04:28] <zaery> lets say that i've got 3 laptops, and i'm taking them on a cruise ship, with free electricity and no realistically priced internet. how hard would it be to set up a wireless lan to run a game server for my family?
[04:28] <bastidrazor> !classic | Burzmali
[04:29] <izinucs> Burzmali: kde/kubuntu .. classic.. xfce .. lxde... cli
[04:29] <Burzmali> Okay, missed that option, is anyone taking donations to launch Unity into the sun?
[04:30] <vietred> Datz: I don't know Debian, but I have the same problem with ubuntu, the solution is configure the network manager instead of edit the file
[04:30] <napping> upgrading to 11.04 is not working. I get an error "Invalid package information" - "After your package information was updated the essential package 'ubuntu-minimal' can not be found anymore..."
[04:30] <Datz> vietred: well I have to use a public nameserver as my local one.. isn't working correctly
[04:30] <qin> Burzmali: Me
[04:30] <Datz> vietred: ah. there is another way /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf
[04:30] <bastidrazor> r0fs3ck5: there may be some files in /etc/NetworkManager  too that can be useful.
[04:30] <Burzmali> qin: Someone needs to start up a kickstarter project or something.
[04:30] <Datz> vietred: should be able to edit something in there but never got it working
[04:30] <Burzmali> Thanks all,\
[04:31] <Guest97869> If I upgrade my macbook pro 7,1 to natty narwahl, should it just work, or are there known issues?
[04:31] <druciferre> I used to be able to descend in to /home/user/.gvfs/ and not when I try I get the error "transport endpoint is not connected"
[04:31] <Guest97869> currently on Maverick
[04:31] <Datz> vietred: also, debian and ubuntu are pretty dern similar under then hood as far as I have realized
[04:31] <vietred> Datz: if there is a network manager, it will re-edit your file so it's useless to edit the file yourself
[04:32] <Datz> vietred: well dhclient.conf isn't changed
[04:32] <Datz> but /etc/resolv.conf is
[04:32] <r0fs3ck5> bastidrazor: I agree, very useful.  Thanks.
[04:32] <Datz> hence me editing it everytime :p
[04:33] <bastidrazor> r0fs3ck5: best of luck.
[04:36] <combbreaker> Ok. I think my problem with the terminal/gedit/etc was related to the file system going read only.. rebooted, ubuntu noticed a problem with the disk and fixed it. What would cause problems like this?
[04:36] <druciferre> can anyone help me with a gvfs issue ?
[04:36] <napping> trying to pick another mirror doesn't seem to change sources.list
[04:36] <napping> or have any effect at all
[04:37] <BlackWeb> Just Curious I've heard of Nautilus Scripts you can download What exactly are they for
[04:37] <BlackWeb> nvm
[04:38] <ActionParsnip> combbreaker: if the OS detecs a badly shutdown filesystem, it will mount it read only (look at the options in /etc/fstab). It may have been rectified so can now mount as writable
[04:38] <ActionParsnip> BlackWeb: they add items to the right click menu for some files, very handy
[04:39] <BlackWeb> so like if right clicked on items or desktop then they'd give me more options
[04:39] <ActionParsnip> Guest97869: I always recommend a clean install personally
[04:39] <BlackWeb> cause looking at some at gnome-look.org and was trying to decide how they'd work
[04:40] <ActionParsnip> BlackWeb: exactly, ubuntuteak has a few handy ones but you can find some online (or make your own) and add those
[04:40] <napping> well, it seems to work after rewriting sources.list
[04:40] <BlackWeb> then they all go into ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/ Directory
[04:40] <ActionParsnip> BlackWeb: they are just bash scripts which getadded to the menu if you put them in that directory
[04:41] <angbermu> Hi, any caps lock, num lock indicator for unity?
[04:41] <mosno> how can i make the unity panel not hide when i have maximised windows?
[04:41] <BlackWeb> Alright I'll try playing around with them and see how they go, Thanks :)
[04:42] <ActionParsnip> angbermu: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/09/indicator-keylock-ubuntu/   has a natty branch too :)
[04:42] <ActionParsnip> mosno: http://maketecheasier.com/autohide-unity-launcher-in-ubuntu-natty/2011/04/20
[04:43] <angbermu> ActionParsnip: Thanks
[04:43] <Toph> since I upgraded to 11.04, i have lost the panel which contains the x,minimize,maximize functions.. is that normal?
[04:44] <ActionParsnip> Toph: its called the window decorator
[04:44] <Toph> ActionParsnip,,, ok,,, how do I restore it?
[04:44] <ActionParsnip> Toph: if you press ALT+F2 and run:  metacity --replace    do they return
[04:44] <joey1> I have a problem with what audio drivers to use. Pulse audio doesnt work with some apps?
[04:45] <joey1> Which audio driver will work?
[04:45] <Toph> ActionParsnip,,, alt+F2 does nothing
[04:45] <ActionParsnip> joey1: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh
[04:45] <ActionParsnip> Toph: or run it in a terminal.
[04:45] <maj-> is there no longer an ubuntu laptop edition?
[04:46] <Toph> ok
[04:46] <Toph> ActionParsnip,,, success
[04:46] <Toph> ActionParsnip,,, thanks
[04:46] <ActionParsnip> maj-: unity can run on laptops or do you want the jaunty-esqu netbook menu thing
[04:46] <joey1> the alsa txt file?
[04:47] <ActionParsnip> Toph: you arent running compiz now, if you close the terminal you will also switch back. but at least you can now troubleshoot some. Do you use an nvidia video chip?
[04:47] <ActionParsnip> joey1: no, I gave a command
[04:47] <joey1> i ran it yes
[04:47] <Toph> ActionParsnip,,, i have a Radeon video card
[04:48] <joey1> it made a txt file
[04:48] <joey1> in temp folder
[04:48] <mosno> ActionParsnip: trying that now, thanks
[04:48] <ActionParsnip> joey1: ok then select to upload to the server and a red url willbe generated. What is the url?
[04:48] <joey1> k
[04:48] <ActionParsnip> joey1: thats fine too, just pastebin the file
[04:48] <mosno> it's not that i don't like the auto hide per se, its that it doesn't quite work when running ubuntu as a virtualbox guest
[04:49] <Toph> ActionParsnip,,, ok,, when I closed the terminal, i can't even access my running programs
[04:49] <Toph> really messed things up
[04:49] <joey1> http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=cdf1c53229235c9d7e7617351dc01ba226d7c951
[04:50] <ActionParsnip> Toph: you can reboot and do it again. You can always add a startup item to run the command. Did you upgrade from Maverick to Natty by any chance?
[04:50] <Toph> ActionParsnip,,, yes, i upgraded
[04:50] <ActionParsnip> Toph: thought so, does it happen as a fresh user?
[04:50] <Toph> ActionParsnip,,, create a new user?
[04:51] <ActionParsnip> Toph: yeah, see if its the application or settings causing the problem
[04:51] <Toph> ActionParsnip,,, i'll try that
[04:51] <ActionParsnip> joey1: not sure then, what apps don't have sound?
[04:51] <joey1> teamspeak3
[04:52] <joey1> mic doesnt work but i have sound
[04:52] <ActionParsnip> joey1: does the mic work in sound recorder?
[04:53] <joey1> yeah
[04:53] <joey1> just not ts
[04:53] <ActionParsnip> joey1: ok so its only the mic and only in teamspeak?
[04:53] <joey1> yes
[04:53] <angbermu> ActionParsnip: Worked perfectly, thanks :)
[04:54] <ActionParsnip> joey1: So what happened to: (04:44:32) joey1: I have a problem with what audio drivers to use. Pulse audio doesnt work with some apps?
[04:54] <ActionParsnip> angbermu: np man
[04:54] <joey1> yes i think its the audio driver
[04:54] <ActionParsnip> joey1: why weren't you more specific like that right off the bat?
[04:55] <joey1> sorry i thought there was a better driver that would fix the problem
[04:56] <ddoom_> how do you modify the $PATH var for sudo/root?
[04:56] <ddoom_> or for all users?
[04:56] <ActionParsnip> joey1: in future, state the app you are having issue with if its only one
[04:56] <ActionParsnip> joey1: may help: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TeamSpeak
[04:56] <bronze> ddoom_: alter the global shell profile init files
[04:56] <joey1> k thanks
[04:57] <ddoom_> bronze: where do they reside?
[04:57] <bronze> ddoom_:  look in /etc for files or dirs named "profile" or bash etc.. also skel.   (none of this is Ubuntu specific, sorry. )
[04:57] <ActionParsnip> ddoom_: if you add it in /etc/profile it will be added to all users
[04:58] <bronze> ActionParsnip:  "<ddoom_> or for all users? "
[04:58] <Toph> ActionParsnip, i created a new user and all seems ok
[04:58] <ActionParsnip> Toph: so we know it's settings based
[04:58] <ubuntu> Is there an easy way to disable unity that doesn't involve restarting? I'm in a live session and unity is really holding me back
[04:58] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu: log off, log in to gnome classic and it won't run
[04:59] <ubuntu> ActionParsnip: there's not logout button under the system menu even :\
[04:59] <ActionParsnip> Toph: could ask in #compiz tosee if they have a fix
[04:59] <TrentonAdams> Hi Guys,  I have a funny blue icon in my system tray that I have no clue what it is.  It doesn't respond to clicks of any kind.  Any ideas?  http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd253/trenton_photos_2007/tmp/blue-icon.png
[04:59] <Toph> ActionParsnip, ok,, will do ,, thanks
[04:59] <bastidrazor> ddoom_: add the files you wish all users to use to /usr/local/bin
[04:59] <Scarra3> Sup everyone
[04:59] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu: then run: gnome-session-save --logout
[04:59] <ubuntu> ActionParsnip: thanks
[05:00]  * ActionParsnip uses CLI far too much :)
[05:00] <ddoom_> ActionParsnip, bronze: thanks I'll try add to /etc/profile
[05:01] <ergZay> why isnt pulseaudio dropped from default ubuntu?
[05:01] <Scarra3> So how How does ubuntu compare to windows 7
[05:01] <ergZay> pulseaudio should be left for being installed by people who need it
[05:01] <joey1> ActionParsnip: how do i run things with padsp
[05:01] <ActionParsnip> Scarra3: depends on tastes and requirements
[05:01] <ergZay> it causes more problems than it acutally fixes, and is mostly a piece of legacy software
[05:01] <ActionParsnip> joey1: not sure, i've not used it dude
[05:02] <mah454> How i can install simple-ccsm in ubuntu-11.04 ...
[05:02] <Scarra3> Well I do programming but im looking for something faster and more secure with more customization
[05:02] <ActionParsnip> ergZay: if you use Lubuntu, its not around (if I remember correctly)
[05:02] <ActionParsnip> Scarra3: then its great, it can do all thatstuff
[05:02] <ergZay> ActionParsnip: unofficial distribution?
[05:03] <ShayGuy> I've got a laptop running 10.10 that refuses to upgrade to 11.04 (lotsa "Failed to fetch..." errors), and the 11.04 LiveCD doesn't seem to realize I've got 10.10 on here at all.
[05:03] <ergZay> ActionParsnip: well i dont think people want a lightweight system, they just want a system that doesnt break everywhere
[05:03] <ergZay> which is what pulseaudio does in default setups
[05:03] <ActionParsnip> ergZay: kinda, its vying for officialness as hard as it can
[05:03] <bastidrazor> Scarra3: that is like asking how Ford compares to Chevy.
[05:03] <ergZay> i dont know how many times i see people complaining about problems
[05:03] <ergZay> and the eventual solution is found "uninstall pulseaudio"
[05:03] <ergZay> then everything works fine
[05:04] <ergZay> ActionParsnip: http://amplicate.com/hate/pulseaudio
[05:05] <ShayGuy> I've made several posts to the forums, with no response.
[05:05] <ActionParsnip> ergZay: never had an issue personally, but my hardware is always super linux friendly
[05:05] <TrentonAdams> No body has seen the icon in my sys tray before?
[05:06] <ActionParsnip> TrentonAdams: we can't see it
[05:06] <TrentonAdams> ActionParsnip: Yes you can. ;)  I sent a URL.
[05:06] <bastidrazor> TrentonAdams: that looks like a bluetooth icon
[05:06] <Scarra3> ActionParsnip: The question is does it work with all my hardware
[05:07] <TrentonAdams> ActionParsnip: Trying to get the link again, just a sec.
[05:07] <ActionParsnip> TrentonAdams: got it

[05:07] <ActionParsnip> TrentonAdams: looks like blueman
[05:08] <TrentonAdams> ActionParsnip: What is that?
[05:08] <arand> Scarra3: Trying it out with a liveCD is a great way to test most of the things that could go wrong.
[05:08] <needlez> has anyone experienced a strange rip or tear in the screensaver when using a nvidia graphics card?? with propietary drivers?? nvidia 270.41.06? or could this be an issue with X?
[05:08] <coz_> TrentonAdams,  blueman  bluetooth
[05:09] <ActionParsnip> Scarra3: should be ok, you may need some tweaks
[05:09] <ActionParsnip> Scarra3: most of your stuff will be fine
[05:09] <ActionParsnip> !info blueman
[05:10] <ComputerChic> Hi all :)
[05:10] <ActionParsnip> hi ComputerChic
[05:10] <ComputerChic> How is everyone this evening?
[05:10] <herc> hi
[05:11] <herc> good and you?
[05:11] <Gryllida> How do I change the onlogin message which I see when I ssh?
[05:11] <ActionParsnip> 5am here and still good :)
[05:11] <needlez> dang Action thats early
[05:12] <Toph> ActionParsnip,,, i duplicated the compiz settings from the new user to my current user and all is well
[05:12] <ActionParsnip> Toph: nice :)
[05:12] <mosno> howcome when i press alt, unity shows me the current window's menubar, but none of the kb accelerators work, eg. alt-f?
[05:12] <ActionParsnip> needlez: i've had 3 hours. I'm on nights tonight so I gotta work my body clock around
[05:12] <napping> Is "installing xserver-xorg-core would break existing software" when trying to upgrade to 11.04 a bad sing?
[05:13] <ActionParsnip> needlez: I'll be sleeping in about 4 hours to wake up at 4pm, ready for my shift :)
[05:13] <Scarra3> ActionParsnip: This is my laptop

[05:13] <nikhil_> hi. can anyone tell me how to disable desktop effects in 11.04 when I am on battery power?
[05:13] <nikhil_> (i am using a netbook
[05:13] <nikhil_> *notebook
[05:13] <needlez> Action: sounds fun, its round 12am ish here
[05:13] <FordPrefect-> Any Python programmers here that i can PM?
[05:13] <nikhil_> FordPrefect-, what do you need?
[05:13] <Gskellig> window manager issues..
[05:13] <Diytto> So i Have a PPC Mac G4 and i can't get the 10.10 live dvd to boot at all
[05:14] <bronze> nikhil  thats an excellent idea.  i don't know if thee is anything in Ubuntu's power management tools that can do that, but its a great idea.
[05:14] <Gskellig> on 11.04, i installed then uninstalled compiz and now I think nothing is set to the default
[05:14] <nikhil_> bronze, that was standard on kde :(
[05:14] <ActionParsnip> Scarra3: should be fine, you may need a boot option to get the touchpad to play well, otherwise it a standard lappy
[05:14] <napping> should I just continue?
[05:14] <nikhil_> my power is being sucked and there's nothing I can do because the electricity is cut
[05:15] <ActionParsnip> Diytto: did you MD5 test the ISO you  downloaded?
[05:15] <nikhil_> sigh
[05:15] <ShayGuy> This was the last post I made to the forums about my problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1753351
[05:15] <Diytto> ActionParsnip: No...
[05:15] <Diytto> :o
[05:15] <nikhil_> FordPrefect-, I'm no expert but you could ask me
[05:15] <Gskellig> nikhil_, powertop?
[05:15] <ActionParsnip> Diytto: then how did you know the image was complete and consistent?
[05:15] <Diytto> ActionParsnip: How do I do that?
[05:15] <ActionParsnip> !md5
[05:15] <nikhil_> Gskellig, done that, doesn't disable desktop effects
[05:15] <Diytto> I got it from torrent i believe
[05:15] <Diytto> :s
[05:15] <ActionParsnip> Diytto: its worth a check
[05:15] <Gskellig> i was having similar power issues on my laptop
[05:15] <Gskellig> and now my window manager is screwed
[05:16] <Guest88813> anyone experiencing firefox going to mobile version of any site
[05:16] <Diytto> ActionParsnip: Thanks. I'll check it tomorrow and see if it's good
[05:16] <FordPrefect-> nikhil_, here is the error I get: TypeError: me() takes exactly 1 argument (2 given)
[05:16] <coz_> Gskellig,  11.04 Unity ..yes?
[05:16] <ActionParsnip> Gskellig: press ALT+F2 and run:  metacity --replace
[05:16] <FordPrefect-> when I give one parameter to the me() function
[05:16] <Gskellig> yes coz_
[05:16] <Gryllida> Guest88813: I'm using Firefox for Mobile. I don't understand what you mean by your question.
[05:16] <ActionParsnip> Diytto: also when the disk starts to boot
[05:16] <Scarra3> ActionParsnip well I booted the livecd and my touchpad worked btw what version should I go with the x86 or x64 its an amd athlon x2 dual core 2.2 GHz and it has 4GB of ram
[05:16] <nikhil_> FordPrefect-, pastebin your code please
[05:17] <nikhil_> FordPrefect-, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/
[05:17] <Gskellig> alt+f2 does nothing, i managed to get a terminal up but metacity --replace doesn't get my sidebar or topbar back
[05:17] <ActionParsnip> Diytto: and you see the stickman at the bottom of the screen, press SPACE and check it for defects, you can also test RAM health too
[05:17] <coz_> Gskellig,  you could also try   in terminal     compiz --replace ccp & disown,, or in alt+F2   compiz --replace ccp &   however you wont get error readings in the run dialog
[05:17] <Gskellig> i just uninstalled compiz, thats why im having issues
[05:17] <coz_> I believe   unity --replace & disown is also ok
[05:17] <nikhil_> Gskellig, how did you fix your problems?
[05:17] <FordPrefect-> okay nikhil_
[05:17] <Guest88813> Gryllida, i'm on a laptop and a local news site always sends me to the mobile version
[05:17] <mosno> Scarra3: fwiw, "x86" encompasses both 32- and 64-bit systems
[05:18] <nikhil_> Gskellig, lol, that's hectic. i killed compiz and ubuntu just whacked out
[05:18] <Gskellig> nikhil_, my problem was actually two graphics cards running at once, among OTHER power comsumption issues
[05:18] <nikhil_> then i realised uninstalling might not be a good idea
[05:18] <Gryllida> Guest88813: What browser are you using?
[05:18] <Guest88813> Gryllida, this is despite being on a regular laptop....
[05:18] <nikhil_> Gskellig, ^_^
[05:18] <Guest88813> firefox
[05:18] <Gskellig> =/ yeah ubuntu is "whacking out" right now
[05:18] <Gryllida> Guest88813: -> #firefox
[05:18] <Diytto> ActionParsnip: O.o i have never seen that it just goes to yaboot and i hit enter then it goes to a whit screen with some boot code then it goes dark and nothin happens
[05:18] <Guest88813> ya
[05:18] <nikhil_> Gskellig, reinstall compiz?
[05:18] <ActionParsnip> Scarra3: it's a 64bit chip so you can use either. I'd go for 64bit personally, it will help your compiling.
[05:18] <Gskellig> working on that now
[05:18] <TrentonAdams> ActionParsnip: I killed all bluetooth related processes, and it's still there.  Any more ideas?
[05:18] <nikhil_> Gskellig, worst case...reinstall. You do have a separate home partition right?
[05:18] <Gskellig> i have the window manager
[05:18] <Gskellig> i dunno... i'm on wubi right now
[05:19] <ActionParsnip> TrentonAdams: kill blueman off
[05:19] <nikhil_> Gskellig, ah. never used wubi.
[05:19] <Gskellig> ill do a real dual boot when I have time in a couple weeks
[05:19] <killown> I burn a cd-rom natty iso and I try to boot up, but seems de live system doesn't detect my nvraid setup and can't find the raid devices /dev/dm1 dm2 and so on.., do anyone experienced this problem before?
[05:19] <Gskellig> i don't recommend it
[05:19] <Scarra3> ActionParsnip: Ok thanks btw do you program at all
[05:19] <nikhil_> Gskellig, what do you use windows for?
[05:19] <Gskellig> do a real dual boot, its not that much more work
[05:19] <Gskellig> for when ubuntu breaks and I have homework due the next day =P
[05:19] <ActionParsnip> Diytto: if all tests as ok then try adding the boot option: nomodeset
[05:19] <Gskellig> and for troubleshooting at my job
[05:19] <TrentonAdams> ActionParsnip: blueman is not installed. lol
[05:19] <KM0201> Gskellig: wubi is just asking to brick both OS's.. i would not use it either
[05:19] <TrentonAdams> ActionParsnip: I just assumed it might be because I do have bluetooth.
[05:19] <nikhil_> Gskellig, lol. for that you could boot a livecd from usb
[05:20] <Gskellig> I'm an underqualified sysadmin and tier1 support
[05:20] <mosno> answering my own question: kb accels aren't working because i forgot that i disabled menu access keys in gnome terminal :\
[05:20] <FordPrefect-> nikhil_, here is the code: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/605046/
[05:20] <Gskellig> yeah i wont use wubi again
[05:20] <KM0201> Gskellig: it's not about using it again, its' about getting it removed.. that's a huge PITA>
[05:20] <Gskellig> nikhil_,  what issues are you having exactly with power?
[05:20] <mosno> i suppose a papercuts bug would be to not show the accels when these have bene disabled
[05:20] <mosno> but meh
[05:20] <lorenz> greetings--I have an Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network card on my laptop and the blue light is on but the 'enable wireless' function is greyed over on my gnome GUI, can anybody suggest what I can do to enable it?
[05:21] <KM0201> lorenz: what version of ubuntu?.. i've got that device on 3 laptops, and it works out of the box.
[05:21] <lorenz> KM0201, 11.04
[05:21] <nessonic> Hello, I'm trying to mess around with learning about setting up an NFS system...but I have no exports folder in /etc...?
[05:21] <KM0201> lorenz: are you sure you're using ubuntu?... that device works flawlessly out of the box.
[05:21] <FordPrefect-> nikhil_, any ideas?
[05:22] <nikhil_> Gskellig, no real issues, i just know these desktop effects are draining my battery faster than it should be drained. in kde i had an option to turn off all effects. at this rate my 1 year old battery is going to last 45mins
[05:22] <nikhil_> FordPrefect-, I am looking at the Tweepy API
[05:22] <lorenz> KM0201, The blue light is on, so it works--however, my gui cannot scan for wireless networks
[05:22] <nikhil_> FordPrefect-, that information doesn't really help
[05:22] <FordPrefect-> :(
[05:22] <killown> I burn a cd-rom natty iso and I try to boot up, but seems de live system doesn't detect my nvraid setup and can't find the raid devices /dev/dm1 dm2 and so on.., do anyone experienced this problem before?
[05:22] <KM0201> lorenz: i dunno, my wireless light has NEVER worked on Linux... but the device has worked quite well for about 4yrs
[05:22] <quackaduck> nokhil_: what graphics card do you have?
[05:22] <FordPrefect-> Do you want me to copy and paste the function from the twitty API source code?
[05:22] <nikhil_> quackaduck, intel GMA 4500MHD
[05:23] <FordPrefect-> tweepy" I mean, nikhil_
[05:23] <Diytto> ActionParsnip: Okay. I dont think xorg works correctly though. I had trouble with it when installing debian
[05:23] <lorenz> KM0201, and the 'enable wireless' functionality is greyed over--the wifi worked until a couple of days ago
[05:23] <ActionParsnip> nikhil_: use ccsm and disable some plugins, you could just ditch compiz and install lxde, makes batterys last longer
[05:23] <KM0201> lorenz: try this in a terminal... sudo modprobe ath5k   then wait about 10-15sec, and see if you can get on a wireless network
[05:23] <nikhil_> ActionParsnip, that means ditching unity, right :/
[05:23] <ShayGuy> I pretty much have no clue where to go from here. I'm stuck. LiveCD not recognizing Maverick, Maverick not finding the Natty packages, and I can't even switch my "Software Sources" server.
[05:24] <ActionParsnip> nikhil_: I guess, you can enable compiz in lxde but it kinda defeats the purpose
[05:24] <nikhil_> ActionParsnip, yeah
[05:24] <nikhil_> ActionParsnip, as for ccsm, was looking for a one-click solution
[05:24] <murphy> Hi,
[05:24] <nikhil_> ActionParsnip, I don't want to have to do this every time i run battery
[05:24] <lorenz> KM0201, No dice
[05:25] <KM0201> lorenz: dunno.
[05:25] <KM0201> very strange
[05:25] <ActionParsnip> lorenz: Personally, I always use the method described at the bottom of this to compile the driver http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1505100   Keep the source handy as you willneed to remake it after each new kernel install.
[05:25] <FordPrefect-> nikhil_,  so you have no idea whats going on based on what i provided you?
[05:25] <FordPrefect-> what do you need exactly?
[05:25] <coz_> ShayGuy,  you checked the cd md5sum before burning at 1x  ..yes?
[05:25] <Scarra3> Is there a way to update my iphones firmware threw ubuntu
[05:25] <murphy> Hi, how to resolve this issue:
[05:25] <murphy> murphy@murphy-Latitude-D630:~$ locale
[05:25] <murphy> locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
[05:25] <murphy> locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory
[05:26] <murphy> locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory
[05:26] <FloodBot1> murphy: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:26] <Jordan_U> ShayGuy: The Desktop CD is not an upgrade CD, it can only do fresh installs (though you can do a fresh install while preserving your home directory).
[05:26] <nikhil_> FordPrefect-, ok
[05:26] <murphy> FloodBot1, sorry
[05:26] <quackaduck> nikhil_: I don't know about intel cards, but when I use the open source drivers for my ati card, my laptop certainly runs hotter and drains my battery faster. Probably has to do something with power management on the intel drivers?
[05:26] <nikhil_> FordPrefect-, this is not the place for python talk, pm
[05:26] <nikhil_> quackaduck, yeah, intel fortunately releases open source only drivers
[05:26] <nikhil_> but they really suck
[05:26] <nikhil_> really suck means extremely bad
[05:26] <nikhil_> :P
[05:26] <quackaduck> lol
[05:26] <coz_> Scarra3,  see if this helps   http://wmarkito.wordpress.com/2010/06/22/update-iphone-firmware-to-ios4-ubuntu-1004/
[05:27] <ActionParsnip> nikhil_: try fusion-icon
[05:27] <ShayGuy> coz_: I got it straight from the main website; I didn't think it would be necessary.
[05:27] <ActionParsnip> !info fusion-icon
[05:27] <lorenz> KM0201, I am sure there is a mundane reason behind this
[05:27] <nikhil_> ActionParsnip, ah, good idea
[05:27] <murphy> Hi, murphy@murphy-Latitude-D630:~$ locale
[05:27] <murphy> locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
[05:27] <murphy> locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory
[05:27] <murphy> locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory
[05:27] <ActionParsnip> murphy: use pastebin please
[05:27] <FloodBot1> murphy: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:27] <coz_> ShayGuy,  well yes md5sums are important to be sure the iso contents were not corrupt during download
[05:27] <ShayGuy> Jordan_U: Good to know. :) Still doesn't bring me much closer to figuring out HOW to upgrade.
[05:27] <lorenz> ActionParsnip, When I first installed Ubuntu, wifi did work out of the box, but now it does not. The blue light is on, it is a matter of simply finding out how to get the wireless signal working
[05:27] <coz_> ShayGuy,  and you should burn this at 1x speed ,, no faster ,,,
[05:28] <lorenz> ActionParsnip, I was wondering a re-install might do the trick?
[05:28] <ActionParsnip> lorenz: I had that too, same chip. Its a weird one
[05:28] <coz_> ShayGuy,   there is a minimal install cd,,  rather easy and all packages are download during install...netinstall essentially
[05:28] <ActionParsnip> lorenz: its a possibility. If you run:  rfkill list     is it blocked in any way?
[05:28] <jgould> what happens if I delete a partition wiht the flag of 'bios_grub
[05:28] <coz_> ShayGuy,  the one advantage  is that the cd is only 19 megs
[05:28] <Jordan_U> ShayGuy: Can you boot Ubuntu 10.10 and pastebin the output of "sudo apt-get update"?
[05:29] <coz_> ShayGuy,  it is ,however, NOT a live cd
[05:29] <Gskellig> argh i give up for now
[05:29] <Gskellig> reinstalling compiz didnt work
[05:29] <Jordan_U> jgould: Grub will most likely fail to load. Why?
[05:29] <lorenz> ActionParsnip, I see 'softblocked' yes, and 'hardblocked' no
[05:29] <Gskellig> and compiz --replae and metacity --replace didn't fix my problem
[05:29] <coz_> Gskellig,  did you do the compiz --replace ccp & disown from terminal?
[05:29] <ShayGuy> Jordan_U: OK, I can do that. See you in a bit.
[05:29] <Gskellig> i didnt try & disown
[05:29] <ActionParsnip> lorenz: do you have a shortcut combo which turns the wifi off and on?
[05:29] <jgould> I'm trying to resize partitions, and this little (<1 MB) partition is in the darn way...
[05:29] <Gskellig> finished reinstalling though
[05:29] <coz_> Gskellig,  that will allow it to be put into the background so you can close the terminal
[05:29] <lorenz> ActionParsnip, and I also see soft block and hardblock yes
[05:30] <lorenz> ActionParsnip, Just the button
[05:30] <Gskellig> didnt work anyway
[05:30] <coz_> Gskellig,  however, if there are errors then it will be reported in terminal
[05:30] <coz_> Gskellig,  is this a clean install or upgrade
[05:30] <Jordan_U> jgould: Then I would first make sure that you know how to re-install grub, then delete the partition making a new one to replace it somewhere else.
[05:30] <Gskellig> metacity sort of worked, but I didn't get my sidebar/topbar back
[05:30] <Gskellig> clean install but
[05:30] <Gskellig> hold on
[05:30] <killown> How do I upgrade from x86 to x64?
[05:30] <KM0201> killown: you can't
[05:30] <coz_> killown,   reinstall
[05:31] <KM0201> wel, there is that option.. :) but thats not an upgrade
[05:31] <NiS> i just installed 11.04, and i was wondering, i cant see the effects tab in appearance. I wanted the 'super+tab' effect that you get on selecting Extra, but cant find that.
[05:31] <Gskellig> i installed the mainline kernel on it
[05:31] <killown> coz_, my cd of x64 don't recognize the nvraid
[05:31] <KM0201> killown: then it doesn't sound like you'll be using 64bit.
