[17:39] <mlpokn> escott: added #!/bin/bash to rc.local, above all commands. It still does not work
[17:39] <venon> ikonia : hmm
[17:39] <escott> mlpokn, did you chown the script to root and make is setuid?
[17:39] <Gage_> halp.
[17:39] <mlpokn> I don't know how to do that
[17:39] <santoshfamily_> how to change the current working directory  in setup script i.e install.sh ?
[17:39] <dr_willis> mlpokn,  you may want to pastebin your rc.local and script.
[17:39] <mlpokn> ok
[17:39] <luke_c> I'm quite happy to compile the kernel manually, but I've never done it on ubuntu before, and I'd like to exhaust all of the other options first. Does anyone have any suggestions?
[17:39] <lnxslck> ikonia, escott , if meminfo shows MemTotal:        2751208 kB, that says that ubuntu is using only 2.7 gb of ram, right?
[17:39] <escott> Gage_, im not familiar with tor. double check with echo $HTTP_PROXY that the variables are unset
[17:39] <dr_willis> mlpokn,  why are we doing this via a script and not using the powermanager tools.applets?
[17:40] <ikonia> lnxslck: please show me the output of the command "free -m" in a pastebin
[17:40] <Gage_> k
[17:40] <mlpokn> Here http://pastie.org/3519972
[17:40] <Gage_> Blank
[17:40] <jackotheshadow> Can anybody help me figure out how to install stuff on xubuntu? The software center apparently doesn't work, and idk how else I can install anything
[17:40] <ikonia> jackotheshadow: it does work
[17:40] <zykotick9> jackotheshadow: "sudo apt-get install FOO"
[17:40] <theadmin> jackotheshadow: Try Synaptic
[17:40] <escott> lnxslck, that is the physical ram addressable from userspace. since you have more ram and hardware addressable dma ram than you can address it is 4GB less the hardware DMA (mostly graphics card but others as well) less a little bit for the kernel itself
[17:40] <lnxslck> ikonia, http://pastebin.com/MT5krfZf
[17:40] <velko> Gage_, and what does apt-get says now?
[17:40] <luke_c> jacktheshadow: open a terminal, type in sudo apt-get install '
[17:41] <dr_willis> jackotheshadow,  sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade,   and then try software center again, or do 'sudo apt-get install whateveritisyouwant'
[17:41] <mlpokn> dr_willis , rc.local http://pastie.org/3519972
[17:41] <Gage_> apt-get says the same thing as it did in the paste
[17:41] <lnxslck> escott, you would recomend moving up to ubuntu 64 bits?
[17:41] <venon> is unity 3d available on wine ?
[17:41] <escott> lnxslck, yes
[17:41] <jlb181> Curious...Windows doesn't show all 4 G either unless it is using 64 bit, does it?
[17:41] <escott> lnxslck, the alternative would be 32bit + pae but 64bit is better
[17:41] <jackotheshadow> I'm very new to linux, and I don't know anythign about using sudo commands
[17:42] <Gage_> Windows 7 x86 shows all 4 gb of ram on my desktop.
[17:42] <dr_willis> mlpokn,  what does the command 'which xbacklight' say?  and in your script ---> xbackligth = 30       You still have a typo i mentioned earlier
[17:42] <Daekdroom> Windows 7 has PAE enabled.
[17:42] <Daekdroom> I think XP doesn't
[17:42] <theadmin> jackotheshadow: sudo apt-get install synaptic (and then look for synaptic in the menus)
[17:42] <zykotick9> venon: is a gnu/linux DE available on wine?  that doesn't make sense?
[17:42] <escott> lnxslck, you will have to reinstall (fyi when you go to 64bit it will show just a little bit less than 4gb because of the kernels usage)
[17:42] <Gage_> I was like lol wat, but it still says so
[17:42] <Martin_> Hi, I have mounted an ntfs partition with rwx for all users but I can't run any file, I get this error "No such file or directory" even if I am in the folder and just write ./filename
[17:42] <lnxslck> escott, i see
[17:42] <shaneo> hey guys how could i add a python script to cron for auto start at login
[17:42] <ikonia> lnxslck: I'd suggest booting from an install cd and running the "memcheck" option
[17:43] <mlpokn> dr_willis /usr/bin/xbacklight ... what is the typo? I can't figure out, lol
[17:43] <dr_willis> Martin_,  in linux Case is imporntant. whats the file anyway?
[17:43] <lnxslck> escott, is ubuntu 64 working fine? no more issues with flash plugin and such?
[17:43] <mlpokn> lol
[17:43] <escott> lnxslck, on my 64bit system i loose 24*8 MB of ram to the kernel
[17:43] <mlpokn> yeah
[17:43] <mlpokn> I see now
[17:43] <mlpokn> :))|
[17:43] <FloodBot1> mlpokn: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:43] <Gage_> So
[17:43] <erespond> am need install back phpmyadmin, couse am forget all password to login phpmyadmin any body can support ???
[17:43] <Gage_> Halp?
[17:43] <ikonia> shaneo: cron isn't a login process, it has nothing to do with starting at login
[17:43] <lnxslck> escott, that's a few
[17:43] <jen_> question
[17:43] <Martin_> dr_willis is a linux executable, I just copied the folder from an ext4 partition to a ntfs partition
[17:43] <ikonia> lnxslck: I'd be more concerned with validating your ram - boot from a livecd and run the memcheck option, see how much ram is seen
[17:43] <shaneo> ikonia, so what would be the best method
[17:44] <dr_willis> Martin_,  do a ls -l FILENAME and see what its permissions are.
[17:44] <venon> hey , please how i run xp when i first install ubuntu and after paralel xp ? from botmenu it doesnt work.......
[17:44] <shaneo> ikonia, i put 0 0 */2 * * /home/shaneo/my-sickbeard-install/Sickbeard.py
[17:44] <shaneo>  in cron will it work?
[17:44] <ikonia> !sessions | shaneo
[17:44] <escott> lnxslck, ive been happily using 64bit for years, never had serious issues, but things are a bit nicer with multiarch
[17:44] <ikonia> shaneo: that's useless, that will run at a set time, not when you log in
[17:44] <shaneo> !sessions
[17:44] <zykotick9> Martin_: dr_willis NTFS (and FAT) don't support POSIX permissions
[17:44] <jen_> everytime I boot ubuntu when it starts up it has a little not quit a glitch but a fuzzy space that is there for maybe a split second, it makes the popping noise and it goes to the ubuntu startup
[17:44] <Martin_> dr_willis -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root
[17:44] <lnxslck> escott, multiarch? running 32 bits also on ubuntu 64?
[17:44] <jen_> does that mean my graphics card is going bad?
[17:44] <dr_willis> zykotick9,  but you can force ALL files to be executable.
[17:44] <escott> lnxslck, http://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch in 11.10 and up
[17:45] <dr_willis> Martin_,  so whats the files name?
[17:45] <lnxslck> ikonia, i think my memory is fine, it's a new laptop, and on windows it shows the memory just fine
[17:45] <erpo> jen_: Not necessarily. Are you getting crashes?
[17:45] <thelodger> jackotheshadow: go to Applications > Accessories > Terminal and enter in the commands mentioned above by the others, the sudo command is telling your machine that the commands are to be given free rein on your machine
[17:45] <ikonia> lnxslck: that's not why I'm telling you to validate it
[17:45] <jen_> I do not get crashes
[17:45] <jen_> it always has done that
[17:45] <Martin_> dr_willis -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16815665 2012-01-11 21:34 X-Plane-i686
[17:45] <erpo> jen_: You're probably good.
[17:45] <shaneo> ikonia, so maybe $HOME/folder/ python Script.py in startup applications
[17:45] <zykotick9> dr_willis: that wasn't "really" directed at you, just wanted you to be aware it was NTFS
[17:45] <ikonia> lnxslck: run the memcheck too
[17:45] <ikonia> tool
[17:45] <dr_willis> Martin_,  so whats the exact ./whatever you are using?
[17:45] <jen_> okay thats what I thought but wasnt sure if anyone else had that problem
[17:45] <Orsb> Hi, I had problem with my boot and I tried to fix my grub from a live cd. However, it seems that the problem is even worse now. Could anyone assist me with this?
[17:45] <ikonia> lnxslck: showing memory as a number and having available physical memory are two differnt things, validate your ram with memcheck
[17:45] <lnxslck> ikonia, i will
[17:45] <ikonia> shaneo: sounds better
[17:46] <santoshfamily_> how to install qt3 ?
[17:46] <erpo> jen_: If you're really worried, run a stress test with a big game or post a video on youtube.
[17:46] <ikonia> santoshfamily_: it's dead
[17:46] <thelodger> jackotheshadow: What was Software Center saying when it didn't work?
[17:46] <lnxslck> escott, what programs do you use that require 32 bits ?
[17:46] <jen_> okay
[17:46] <shaneo> ikonia, ok thanks
[17:46] <dr_willis> santoshfamily_,  any app that needs qt3 these days. is rather out of date
[17:46] <jackotheshadow> Ok. So, I've tried entering the sudo commands in the terminal, and I get a lot of output that I don't understand. But it does say the flash plugin was not installed, and something about i386 not being configured
[17:46] <Martin_> dr_willis I can't even do ./X-Plane-i686
[17:46] <dougl> I finnally got to connect to my vnc server but now it just looks like a raw x session... how can I just see my normal desktop thru a vnc connection?
[17:46] <mlpokn> dr_willis. Fixed the typo, but still not working
[17:46] <escott> lnxslck, skype? im not even sure. i don't pay much attention to the split these days, which is how it should be
[17:47] <dr_willis> Martin_,  whats the exact error?
[17:47] <lnxslck> escott, true
[17:47] <jackotheshadow> Software center either simply shows a frowny face or says i386 is the wrong architecture
[17:47] <dr_willis> mlpokn,  it coule be X is overrideing your rc.local settings. that would be my guess.
[17:47] <santoshfamily_> then qt4 ?
[17:47] <lnxslck> escott, the same applications you have on ubuntu 32 bits you have on ubuntu 64 bits?
[17:47] <Martin_> dr_willis bash: ./X-Plane-i686: No such file or directory
[17:47] <mlpokn> dr_willis. I am using Lubuntu, if that makes a difference
[17:47] <dr_willis> santoshfamily_,  why do you even think you need to install that tar.gz?
[17:48] <dr_willis> mlpokn,  it has settings for brightness somewhere i imagine.
[17:48] <escott> lnxslck, no i run 64bit. but if there is something that is 32bit its trivial to install it these days
[17:48] <FoolsRun> Hey, I have a question about JBOD concatenation: What happens when you break the "array"? Are the disks readable separately?
[17:48] <escott> FoolsRun, probably not
[17:48] <dr_willis> Martin_,  as a test. try copying that file to your home, also check 'file X-Plane-i686' to see what it thinks that file is.
[17:48] <santoshfamily_> then tell me how i can , unless i fulfill all requirement i cant think of it ?
[17:48] <zykotick9> escott: when you get zsnes working on 64bit let me know ;)
[17:49] <mlpokn> dr_willis. The brightness buttons off my keyboard are working, but it's annoying that every time I start the pc the brightness is maxed out
[17:49] <dr_willis> santoshfamily_,  im not even clear on why you need it.
[17:49] <dr_willis> mlpokn,  so put those commands in a shell script like was suggested earlier.
[17:49] <erespond> am need install back phpmyadmin, couse am forget all password to login phpmyadmin any body can support ???
[17:49] <mlpokn> dr_willis. how do I do that?
[17:50] <Martin_> dr_willis in ext4 works fine, using file command I get:   X-Plane-i686: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.8, not stripped
[17:50] <dr_willis> mlpokn,  im not even sure why you are needing both commands. dosent the 2nd one work by itself?
[17:50] <santoshfamily_> because in readme it is written that it needed that dependencies
[17:50] <erespond> dr_willis, am forget phpmyadmin login and i reinstall that, so am still can't used new password how i do?
[17:50] <erespond> dr_willis, am forget phpmyadmin login and i reinstall that, so am still can't used new password how i do?
[17:50] <dr_willis> mlpokn,  make a file. add the commands. save it..  rember the #!/bin/bash stuff mentioned earlier.
[17:50] <dr_willis> erespond,  no idea.
[17:50] <shaneo> ikonia: no luck with adding the line to startup applications any other suggestions
[17:50] <Wooden_Android> when i start to intall ubuntu, i have no wireless connection, and it says wireless is turned off, and clicking it to turn it on does absolutely nothing, what can i do?
[17:50] <erespond> am forget phpmyadmin login and i reinstall that, so am still can't used new password how i do?
[17:51] <escott> mlpokn, part of the confusion is that there are two ways to modify the backlight. one would be to use a command like xbacklight 30 which uses the xbacklight helper program. the other interfaces directly with files in /sys and uses echo and requires root privs. its unclear to us what one you are trying to use, but you should only need one
[17:52] <cowboydren> Has anyone had trouble with the 386 alternate installer lately? I'm installing on a netbook with an unsupported video chipset, and it keeps failing during tasksel.
[17:52] <mlpokn> escott. I tried the both, one by one, NONE work
[17:52] <santoshfamily_> now plz anybody tell me how to install qt4 ?
[17:52] <dr_willis> mlpokn,  http://pastie.org/3520064
[17:52] <escott> mlpokn, tried them when and how? they work in different ways and in different scenarios
[17:52] <erespond> please
[17:52] <lnxslck> ubuntu and kubuntu are the same thing regarding the packages? the source of the debs?
[17:52] <jackotheshadow> how do I respond to people?
[17:52] <dr_willis> santoshfamily_,  install any kde app and it will install qt4 with it.
[17:52] <shaneo> ikonia, n/m figured it out way simpler than i was assuming
[17:52] <minixvbox> santoshfamily_: what are you trying to install that need it?
[17:53] <dr_willis> santoshfamily_,  sudo apt-get install k3b (if you like to burn cds)
[17:53] <xangua> lnxslck: yes
[17:53] <zykotick9> lnxslck: *buntu get there packages from the same place/repo
[17:53] <mlpokn> dr_willis. That's what I did, it does not work, unless I manually run the commands from terminal
[17:53] <escott> mlpokn, if you are logged into the gui then start a terminal and type xbacklight 50 and see if it changes the brightness
[17:53] <lnxslck> ok
[17:53] <Gage_> So I never got any help.
[17:53] <lnxslck> because i install kubuntu and then ubuntu desktop
[17:53] <dr_willis> mlpokn,  try running the script with gksudo perhaps
[17:53] <Gage_> Apt-get still doesn't work, says there is no proxy
[17:53] <santoshfamily_> a tar.gz  of modem !
[17:53] <lnxslck> that way i get gnome and kde still lokks good
[17:54] <lnxslck> no bad gtk themes
[17:54] <mlpokn> escott. The commands work manually, but not from rc.local
[17:54] <Martin_> dr_willis in ext4 works fine, using file command I get:   X-Plane-i686: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.8, not stripped
[17:54] <neur0t0xin> Hello, anyone know what to do about screwed-up locales after trying to downgrade libc6 & libc-bin? Whenever I try to reinstall locales or libc they just refer to eachother and refuse to be fixed
[17:54] <zykotick9> Gage_: do you need a proxy for regular net access?
[17:54] <minixvbox> santoshfamily_: that makes no sense
[17:54] <Gage_> No
[17:54] <escott> mlpokn, xbacklight will NOT work in rc.local because it is an X11 program (the starting x is a giveaway) and X11 is not running at the time rc.local is started
[17:54] <dr_willis> minixvbox,  thats what ive been telling him.
[17:54] <santoshfamily_> why  bro ?
[17:55] <dr_willis> santoshfamily_,  why do you think you need it?
[17:55] <minixvbox> santoshfamily_: why would a modem driver ever require qt4?
[17:55] <mlpokn> escott. ok, but the other one, why doesn't it work?
[17:55] <venon> shit
[17:55] <ArcherNX01> Is Linux Mint any good?
[17:55] <escott> mlpokn, the echo should work in rc.local if the path to the /sys file is correct but its harder to run that manually because you have to sudo to get permissions to modify /sys files
[17:55] <xangua> !mint | ArcherNX01
[17:55] <dr_willis> ArcherNX01,  ot for here.. and id avoide it.
[17:56] <venon> how i run xp when i first install ubuntu ....
[17:56] <jackotheshadow> thelodger: Software center either simply shows a frowny face or says i386 is the wrong architecture
[17:56] <dr_willis> venon,  'run xp' meaning?
[17:56] <venon> y
[17:56] <santoshfamily_> i donot know bro but it is written or i should publish it so that all my frnds can read it and them it might be help ful !
[17:56] <Gage_> ..
[17:56] <mlpokn> escott. like I said. If I open the terminal and paste that echo stuff in, it changes my brightness, I don't have to write SUDO before it
[17:56] <venon> dr_willis : y
[17:57] <escott> mlpokn, type "whoami"
[17:57] <dr_willis> santoshfamily_,  you are wanting to install this .tar.gz and you have no idea why you are needing it?
[17:57] <dr_willis> venon,  'y' is not an answer to my question.
[17:57] <mlpokn> escott. yeah, it;s my username
[17:57] <mlpokn> not root or anything
[17:57] <minixvbox> santoshfamily_: maybe people could help you better if you told them what modem you are trying to get working
[17:57] <Orsb> Hi, I need some help with grub, I am totally clueless
[17:57] <escott> mlpokn, that should not be working without root privs AFAIK
[17:57] <joebodo> possibly has sudo all permissions
[17:57] <santoshfamily_> than plz tell how i can install it ?
[17:58] <venon> dr_willis : from botmenu it doesnt work
[17:58] <dr_willis> santoshfamily_,  odds are its not needed/allready installed or in the  repos.
[17:58] <joebodo> (nah - that won't do it)
[17:58] <dr_willis> venon,  you should be a bit more verbose in your statements.. You mean "XP is in my grub menu, but selecting it fails to boot XP properly' >? or 'XP is NOT in my grub menu, how do i add it?"
[17:58] <venon> dr_willis : I installed xp parallel to ubuntu
[17:59] <venon> XP is NOT in my grub menu, how do i add it?"
[17:59] <dr_willis> venon,  rerun 'sudo update-grub'
[17:59] <mlpokn> escott. I remember now. I was getting a "Permission denied " error when I was trying to set the brightness, so I've found a command on Arch Wiki like: "something myusername /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness"
[17:59] <Gage_> zykotick9: No.
[18:00] <dr_willis> it pays to ask a clear question. :)
[18:00] <escott> mlpokn, christ-almighty thats a terrible terrible idea
[18:00] <thelodger> jackotheshadow: You probably installed the 64 bit version of Xubuntu so. I'm guessing that the program you're trying to install is only for 32bit, might suggest taking a look for the other version?
[18:00] <venon> dr_willis : and than ?
[18:00] <escott> mlpokn, and the something was "chown"
[18:00] <venon> *then
[18:00] <santoshfamily_> 3.75G HSUPA USB ADAPTER DWM-156 D-Link modem !
[18:00] <mlpokn> escott; this is it
[18:00] <mlpokn>  sudo chown <usrname> /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness
[18:00] <ganz> hi
[18:01] <ganz> where can i find a complete documentation for the command notify-send?
[18:01] <ganz> for example the list of notification categories or some use of the option --hint
[18:01] <escott> mlpokn, i would sudo chown root:root /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness and do this properly by making a setuid script
[18:01] <Gage_> Make me a sammich
[18:01] <venon> dr_willis : when i rerun this command what then
[18:02] <mlpokn> escott; back to normal. permission denied. I will reboot now to see if that was the problem
[18:02] <dr_willis> venon,  did you notice it saying  it was adding a windows/xp line.. you could just reboot and see if it worked.
[18:02] <jackotheshadow> thelodger: ok, thanks. I'll look into it
[18:02] <Orsb> dr_willis: you seem to be an expert in grub matters, and I am totally lost because I cannot boot
[18:02] <dr_willis> Orsb,  all i know is from what ive read from dozens of sources. :)
[18:03] <dr_willis> Orsb,  You get no grub menu? or  what do you mean exactly.
[18:03] <Orsb> dr_willis: no, only my windows option displays. I have booted by the live cd now
[18:04] <dr_willis> Orsb,  check out the fixgrub wiki page and how to install that fix-boot gui tool. (i think thats the name)
[18:04] <dr_willis> !fixgrub
[18:04] <luke_c> Hi. I've installed ubuntu 11.10 on my satellite pro laptop. However, the touchpad randomly stops working. There are no error messages in my logs. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can fix this?
[18:05] <donal> when I installed tomcat7, a tomcat7 user was created. When tomcat runs, this is the user account it runs under. However, the home dir for tomcat was created with these permissions drwxr-xr-x   4 root root  4096 Mar  4 15:10 tomcat7
[18:05] <dr_willis> boot-repair tool is what its called Orsb  --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
[18:05] <donal> which means tomcat can't write to it's own home dir, why would the home dir be created with such odd permissions?
[18:05] <Orsb> dr_willis: I have tried that but did not help!
[18:05] <mrFrog> anyone here willing to walk me through mounting my ssd? i did it incorrectly and upon booting the server an error like "Serious errors were found while checking the disk drive" showed up.
[18:06] <jpds> donal: Why would you want to write there?
[18:06] <donal> jpds: my application creates persistent files
[18:06] <dr_willis> Orsb,  the urls give other ways to reinstall grub. but boot-repair works for most people.
[18:06] <donal> so I'm trying to put them in the tomcat home dir
[18:06] <auxpete> ??
[18:06] <donal> is that a bad idea?
[18:07] <mlpokn> escott: still not working :\
[18:07] <dr_willis> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2?action=show&redirect=GRUB2#Reinstalling_GRUB2
[18:07] <mauwii> ??
[18:07] <dr_willis> other ways to reinstall grub
[18:07] <nishttal2> ok ppl installed XUbuntu at your advice.. how do i install compiz
[18:07] <helmet> ??
[18:07] <zykotick9> Orsb: following the !grub2 directions for chrooting into your install then run "sudo update-grub"
[18:07] <santoshfamily_> Before installation, make sure you have the needed dependencies installed (qt3, wvdial1.5.6 or newer).
[18:07] <santoshfamily_>  The steps of installation are as following:

[18:08] <nishttal2> minixvbox, how do i ensure that proper drivers for my onboard graphics card are installed
[18:08] <dr_willis> santoshfamily_,  so run the install.sh if you really really really want to try to get that installed.. what is your modem not doing? how have you tried to configure it?
[18:08] <_Marcus> Hello
[18:09] <minixvbox> nishttal2: what is your onboard card?
[18:09] <escott> mlpokn, make a script /usr/local/bin/backlight30.sh and put in it #!/bin/bash and the echo command. then run the following: sudo chown root:root /usr/local/bin/backlight30.sh; sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/backlight30.sh; sudo chmod u+s /usr/local/bin/backlight30.sh
[18:09] <nishttal2> Sandy bridge somethign
[18:09] <minixvbox> nishttal2: so intel, that means you don't need to install aanything
[18:09] <Gage_> How can I make it so I can turn my volume all the way up without going to System > Preferences > Sound, and instead using hotkeys? When I use hotkeys the volume goes about halfway up but says it
[18:10] <zykotick9> mlpokn: do you happen to be using an EEEPC?
[18:10] <Gage_> it's all the way up on the icon, but when I go to Sound, I can make it louder..
[18:10] <luke_c> It doesn't look like anyone here has had this sort of problem before. Do you know whereas I could go for help? I've tried ##linux and ##kernel, but I'm not sure where else to ask.
[18:10] <mlpokn> escott. Thanks I will try. zykotick9, no
[18:11] <hypershock> Gage_: that extra bit is actually overdrive, something windows doesn't allow.
[18:11] <Gage_> Wait, what?
[18:11] <santoshfamily_> i donot got any response  after double -click on install.sh !
[18:11] <velko> luke_c,  does it seize to work for a very brief period of time (like 1 sec) or longer?
[18:11] <Gage_> I'm not using windows, I'm using ubuntu 11.04.
[18:12] <zykotick9> mlpokn: doubt it will help then, but booting with kernel option acpi_osi=Linux fixes brightness issues with my EEE
[18:12] <luke_c> It varies. If I don't use it for anything then it doesn't break.
[18:12] <hypershock> Gage_: I threw that in there just in case. but you are meant to go that high with your volume without going that extra effort, because you can blow your speakers at what is happening there.
[18:12] <hypershock> Gage_: are meant == are not meant
[18:13] <Gage_> Okay.
[18:13] <luke_c> It normally last until I've opened a program, but sometimes breaks slightly before or after.
[18:13] <Shojo> hey could anyone tell me why my nick was unregistered? O.o
[18:13] <Gage_> But I can't change it>
[18:13] <Gage_> *?
[18:13] <hypershock> luke_c: i came in late but what was your original question?
[18:13] <luke_c> I've installed ubuntu 11.10 on my satellite pro laptop. However, the touchpad randomly stops working. Do you have any suggestions as to how I can fix this?
[18:13] <velko> luke_c, is it possible that you have enabled "disable touchpad while typing" option in the keyboard preferences. and that is just the lag for the touchpad to be enabled after you have used your keyboard?
[18:13] <hypershock> Gage_: not with the keyboard.
[18:13] <MonkeyDust> luke_c  it's something in the grub menu
[18:13] <Orsb> zykotick9: I have tried ChRooting but got stuck at assemblin the arrays!
[18:13] <Gage_> Okay.
[18:14] <zykotick9> Orsb: RAID?  i can't help, good luck.
[18:14] <mlpokn> ty zykotick9, I'll try that too.
[18:14] <mrFrog> i try to mount a disk with -t ext4, but in the error logs it says "can't find ext4 filesystem". i honestly don't care what filesystem i use, what's best for an ssd storing mysql databases?
[18:14] <hypershock> Gage_: what i do is leave it set at a certain point and use the actual volume control knob on my hardware to control the output.
[18:14] <luke_c> I could have a look. What's the terminal command to open it? (I'm not sure how to navigate unity without a mouse, but I've been opening a terminal straight away)
[18:15] <Gage_> I'm using a netbook, so I don't have a volume control knob. But that's what I do with my desktop.
[18:15] <zykotick9> luke_c: do you have an external USB mouse you could try?  does it work?
[18:15] <luke_c> MonkeyDust: I'm not sure that I follow? What's in the grub menu.
[18:15] <luke_c> Same problem.
[18:15] <lampe2> hey is there a way to NOT group the windows in the window switcher ?
[18:15] <luke_c> Works briefly, then stops.
[18:15] <hypershock> luke_c: *unity* --- hit the super key to bring up the unity dash, then type settings or use tab key to get around.
[18:16] <saquib> n
[18:16] <MonkeyDust> luke_c  something similar to this http://www.multimediaboom.com/touchpad-not-working-in-ubuntu-10-10-maverick-resolve-it/
[18:16] <hypershock> luke_c: by works briefly you mean, after you get to the desktop for about a few seconds it works then stops and doesn't comeback until you restart the desktop session?
[18:17] <Guest88388> hello how i can run wine on eMac PPC Computers i have an Ubuntu 11.04
[18:17] <luke_c> Yes.
[18:18] <Guest88388> how luke_c
[18:18] <Guest88388> ?
[18:18] <hypershock> Guest88388: how can you not? did you try to do it yet?
[18:18] <zykotick9> Guest88388: i believe wine is x86/x86_84 only... could be wrong.
[18:18] <luke_c> But for how long it works varies. Once it stops though, it won't work again until after a restart.
[18:18] <Guest88388> yes i triedit
[18:18] <hypershock> Guest88388: what did it say when you tried?
[18:19] <Guest88388> it doesent can be installed
[18:19] <Guest88388> can i compile it for ppc computers?
[18:20] <zykotick9> Guest88388: looks like no - http://macosx.com/forums/mac-os-x-system-mac-software/312875-wine-ppc-mac.html
[18:20] <hypershock> luke_c: try this as a test, when the desktop starts pay attention to what happens when the mouse stops working. if it is when you hit any key on your keyboard, then it is because you have disable while typing enabled. there is a tool called synaptic and not the one that does the package manager, you want the one for the touchpad control and it'll allow you to manage the touchpad better.
[18:21] <hypershock> luke_c: if i remember right, when it happened to me and before i had my own solution, viciously smacking the spacebar when it happens usually awakens the touchpad.
[18:21] <luke_c> MokeyDust: Googling it, that seems to only apply to sony vaios. I don't get that error.
[18:21] <mrFrog> anyone know how to find out what filesystem types are valid on ubuntu? a command to list what types i can use to mount a disk?
[18:22] <MonkeyDust> luke_c  ok
[18:22] <dr_willis> mrFrog,  there used tobe a /proc/filesystems file i recall that showed whats in the kernel.
[18:22] <hypershock> Guest88388: however, you can consider crossover-mac from codeweavers.com, give their trial a whirl, it may solve your problem.
[18:22] <dr_willis> mrFrog,  cat /proc/filesystems  but its a big list. :)
 hey bro i had pasted  readme  with full detail plz check it out !
[18:22] <zykotick9> mrFrog: "man mount" then find the --types section, it lists supported types
[18:23] <luke_c> Huh. I pressed lots of stuff ctrl+super+space+left+right lots of times, and it starting working for a second or two.
[18:23] <dr_willis> mrFrog,  you using some weird filesystems?
[18:23] <dr_willis> santoshfamily_,  most likely you want to run the sh from a terminal, not double click it.
[18:23] <luke_c> Alright. I'll try that. Might take me a few restart to figure out if there's a patter though, I'll come back then.
[18:23] <Guest88388> can be running crosOver linux on Ubuntu 11.04 on a PPC Processor
[18:23] <Guest88388> ?
[18:23] <santoshfamily_> ok
[18:23] <hypershock> luke_c: you are in luck, looks the package has been renamed to "tpconfig" so install that, that should help you out alot.
[18:24] <zykotick9> Guest88388: qemu is probably your best bet - not much "emulation" stuff will run on PPC
[18:25] <zykotick9> Guest88388: and qemu would be deadly slow
[18:25] <mrFrog> zykotick9: it's weird, in that section it says ext4 is supported, but when i try to "sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sdb /var/databases" i get an error like so: "wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb…"
[18:25] <hypershock> will virtual box work for Guest88388 ?
[18:25] <zykotick9> mrFrog: /dev/sdb is wrong - that's a drive not a parition, try /dev/sdb1 if it's the 1st parition you want
[18:25] <santoshfamily_> when i run it from terminal it shows error !
[18:25] <Guest88388> what is when i compile it ?
[18:26] <Guest88388> the sourcecode from wine?
[18:26] <theadmin> Guest88388: You can't compile CrossOver, it's propertiary software. Wine doesn't work on PPC.
[18:26] <theadmin> Guest88388: You pretty much have no real options there...
[18:26] <zykotick9> theadmin: +1
[18:27] <venon> is packettracer available in ubuntu ?
[18:27] <mrFrog> zykotick9: ok now i'm on the right track, thank you :) it says that "special device /dev/sbd1 does not exist", guessing i have to learn to partition it?…
[18:27] <zykotick9> venon: cisco?  you can install it (not in repo, as it's proprietary software), or use wine.
[18:27] <theadmin> Guest88388: This is an ancient architecture propertiary to Apple and can't run Windows nor Windows software. Why do you think you need Wine, anyway?
[18:28] <theadmin> mrFrog: You want /dev/sdb1, not /dev/sbd1
[18:28] <mrFrog> right, i mistyped that
[18:28] <dr_willis> and old imac ppc - makes an  ok ssh terminal. :)
[18:28] <zykotick9> theadmin: re: mrFrog good catch, i missed that
[18:29] <Guest88388> there are other options to run Windows software on a PPC?
[18:29] <dr_willis> if you got OS-X on it.
[18:29] <theadmin> Guest88388: There are none at all.
[18:29] <theadmin> Guest88388: What software do you need? Most stuff has Linux alternatives.
[18:29] <escott> Guest88388, you have to emulate the x86 processor its not something you want to do
[18:29] <hypershock> what perplexes me is the acronym for wine: wine is not an emulator. that being said, if he is running linux natively on his mac ppc machine, then why would wine complain. does it actually access the hardware directly?
[18:30] <venon> zykotick9  , wine ?  it doesnt work
[18:30] <venon> ...
[18:30] <_cb> Will a Mac be able to access Ubuntu 11.10 remote desktop ?
[18:30] <g3orge> hey guys. I have an ubuntu laptop that I used with an external monitor (closed lid) and everything worked great, until I decided to choose the second option into the visual effects tab into appearence preference. It downloaded a new driver, updated, restarted and now it doesn't recognise my external monitor nor the laptop monitor itself (it says uknown instead of "laptop"). But the effects work great. ha. anyway, how can I downgrade to the
[18:30] <g3orge>  previous driver and go back?
[18:30] <LucidGuy> Anyone have experience stress testing an Ubuntu system?  Think its a bad idea to put a system to full load for 8 hours straight?
[18:30] <zykotick9> venon: then try the gnu/linux native version
[18:30] <escott> hypershock, because wine is not an emulator. it doesn't emulate the x86 it translates win32 to native posix
[18:30] <theadmin> hypershock: wine doesn't emulate CPU, Windows doesn't work on PowerPC = windows apps will go "wtf am I running on"
[18:30] <Canadian1296> _cb: Via ssh or vnc yes.
[18:30] <dr_willis> _cb,  with a vnc client. yes.  or you could even use xdmcp, or ssh X forarding with some work.
[18:31] <venon> and that is what
[18:31] <venon> zykotick9
[18:31] <hypershock> escott: so if he is running ubuntu 11.04, is he not in posix?
[18:31] <zykotick9> venon: you can download it from cisco's site... where you downloaded the windows version
[18:31] <_cb> dr_willis, Canadian1296 I thik Ubuntu's remote desktop is VNC. Correct? So I should be able to turn it on, open port 5900 and done
[18:31] <mrFrog> zykotick9: ok so i partitioned sdb, and when i try to mount /dev/sdb1 i still get this error: "wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1"
[18:31] <dr_willis> _cb,  on a local lan - yes. i belive so
[18:31] <Canadian1296> dr_willis _cb: OS X has a built in VNC client. You just need to set up the ubuntu machine, then type vnc://ipaddress in safari
[18:32] <Guest88388> I need windows game without directX and learn Software like Revoca: http://translate.google.de/translate?sl=de&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=de&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.revoca.ch%2F. and revoca is only for windows and mac
[18:32] <dr_willis> I havent used os-x in years. :)
[18:32] <zykotick9> mrFrog: pastebin output of "sudo fdisk -l"
[18:32] <escott> hypershock, you are missing the point. posix establishes system calls, but that doesn't you can run armel compiled programs on x86.
[18:32] <venon> zykotick9 hm ok
[18:32] <theadmin> dr_willis: OS X never was on PPC's, right? It's intended for Intel... PPC = classic MacOS
[18:32] <zykotick9> mrFrog: did you format after partitioning?
[18:32] <_cb> Thanks !
[18:32] <dr_willis> theadmin,  i had a imacDV ppc that ran os-x
[18:32] <theadmin> dr_willis: Ah, ok
[18:32] <escott> theadmin, at the beginning it was
[18:32] <mrFrog> zykotick9: no i never formatted
[18:32] <dr_willis> theadmin,  it had os9 when i bought it. :)
[18:33] <Guest88388> how i can emulate an x86 Processor for to run wine, or CrossOver Linux or Play on linux or Cedega?
[18:33] <zykotick9> mrFrog: that's step 2 ;)
[18:33] <dr_willis> OS-9 was such a pain in so many ways.. its amazing it was as popular as it was..
[18:33] <dr_willis> Guest88388,  qemu perhps.. and whats the specs of your system?
[18:33] <Canadian1296> theadmin: OS X was for PPC and intel, and they've been slowly phasing out PPC. As of 10.7.0 they cut out all PPC support.
[18:33] <escott> Guest88388, qemu and you will get maybe 1 frame per decade
[18:33] <zykotick9> escott: +1
[18:34] <hypershock> guest search your repository for "emulator"
[18:34] <mrFrog> zykotick9: there we have it, thank you :) been working on mounting an ssd all morning...
[18:34] <hypershock> try them all out until you find one that will install windows
[18:34] <jeph01> hey guys
[18:34] <venon> zykotick9 ... i just find gns3 .... but packet tracer is better : (
[18:34] <dr_willis> windows 95 in qemu :)
[18:34] <zykotick9> hypershock: too bad none of them will
[18:34] <theadmin> hypershock: Nothing that emulates x86 will run on an inferior architecture such as ppc
[18:34] <jeph01> is there packet tracer for ubuntu?
[18:35] <Guest88388> can i make it faster when i installed quemu
[18:35] <zykotick9> jeph01: available from cisco yes
[18:35] <theadmin> jeph01: Try Wireshark. Not sure what you mean by "packet tracer", but...
[18:35] <jeph01> how to get it
[18:35] <dr_willis> Guest88388,  whats your system specs?
[18:35] <zykotick9> Guest88388: qemu will be a waste of your time on that hardware, it will be SO slow
[18:36] <escott> venon, iptables can do stateful filtering if that is what you want?
[18:36] <Guest88388> i have an 1,25 Ghz processor, 512 MB RAM,
[18:36] <escott> Guest88388, just find yourself x86 hardware if you need to run x86 apps
[18:37] <theadmin> Guest88388: Eh, and you want to emulate Windows? impossible, I'm afraid. Not to mention the architecture you're using.
[18:37] <hypershock> zykotick9: theadmin: I take it you guys tried this before hand. As it seems odd, that you can have a perfect Amiga Emulator (motorola processor), Commodore Emulator (forgot the chip here), Amstrad (definately x86), etc ... if those emulators run fine in Linux and their software doesn't go "wtf man, what is this", then why does wine have that problem. I'll accept that issue however. if that is case no matter what.
[18:37] <theadmin> hypershock: Wine does not emulate the processor
[18:37] <venon> escott ? i just want packet tracer on ubuntu ....
[18:37] <hypershock> Guest88388: eww, that is too slow of hardware.
[18:37] <escott> hypershock, because wine is not an emulator
[18:37] <dr_willis> Hyperbyte,  because those are emulators. :)  wine is not an emulator.
[18:37] <theadmin> hypershock: Those do, and they run on Linux, sure, but only on architectures equal to or superior of x86. You can't run them on PPC, I'm afraid.
[18:37] <jeph01> i just mean a cisco network simulator software
[18:37] <minixvbox> hypershock: wine is a compatibility layer, not an emulator
[18:37] <zykotick9> hypershock: emulators are typically built for x86 hardware and require those system calls, changing the underlying achitecture is a HUGE deal.
[18:38] <Guest88388> why make the wine delvolpers not wine for PPC Hardware? Can i chage it?
[18:38] <Guest88388> why make the wine delvolpers not wine for PPC Hardware? Can i chage it?
[18:38] <dr_willis> Guest88388,  because the ppc hardware is basically a dead end street perhaps?
[18:38] <hypershock> ok
[18:38] <theadmin> Guest88388: You can't. ppc is inferior to i686, what's not clear here? It's impossible.
[18:38] <escott> hypershock, and you are also comparing emulating a low power phone hardware on high power modern x86 but Guest is describing the reverse emulating modern x86 on old ppc
[18:38] <hypershock> i get it
[18:38] <escott> hypershock, if your phone could emulate your desktop... wouldn't you use that instead of your clunky laptop
[18:38] <dr_willis> I run the C64 emulator on my Cellphone to play MULE. :)
[18:39] <zykotick9> dr_willis: BlueMax was always my fav C64 game </ot>
[18:39] <venon> best utill for creating php script ?
[18:39] <theadmin> venon: vim
[18:39] <theadmin> venon: or emacs
[18:39] <dr_willis> a text editor. :)
[18:39] <MonkeyDust> or nano
[18:39] <theadmin> ...except nano doesn't do much of highlighting
[18:40] <theadmin> Nor autoindent, nor...
[18:40] <theadmin> yeah
[18:40] <dr_willis> geany is nice..
[18:40] <MonkeyDust> venon  forget nano ;)
[18:40] <venon> the admin thx
[18:40] <escott> Guest88388, your hardware is not capable. you could probably install dosbox in qemu and use that to run wordperfect but trying to do anything more recent is a lost cause. go find an x86 machine
[18:40] <theadmin> Indeed geany's nice too, venon, worth a shot as well
[18:40] <dr_willis> bbl
[18:41] <g3orge> how can I downgrade nvidia drivers?
[18:41] <MonkeyDust> not
[18:41] <Guest88388> and what is when i use an other linux system like yellowdog or debian whatever
[18:41] <venon> theadmin and something like bluefish ?
[18:42] <theadmin> Guest88388: Still. YOU CAN NOT EMULATE WINDOWS ON PPC. AT ALL.
[18:42] <theadmin> venon: Eh... Isn't that an HTML editor?
[18:42] <jakko> I swear every time I try ubuntu it is buggier than the last one. I swear audio worked in a provious version now audio is missed up
[18:43] <venon> yes :D i say something like this
[18:44] <Guest88388> and on a intel mac?
[18:45] <Orsb> Hi, I hava a silly question, but how do I actaully fiure out which partition to mount for restoring grub?
[18:45] <escott> Orsb, are you trying a chroot restore?
[18:45] <MonkeyDust> !grub
[18:45] <elijah> Ubuntu keeps locking me out with a password after X minutes, how can I disable that?
[18:45] <ArcherNX01> Is there a program like Xsplit or Flash Media Encoder 3 for Ubuntu?
[18:45] <zykotick9> elijah: screensaver settings
[18:46] <Orsb> escott: yes
[18:46] <luke_c> hypershock: I didn't want to say anything until I'd tried using it for a but, but installing tpconfig seems to have fixed it. Thanks! :)
[18:46] <theadmin> Guest88388: On Intel, sure. But then again, if you want Windows, it's easier to install Windows on that intel machine
[18:47] <escott> Orsb, you just have to test them until you find the right one. when you find your system root it should contain files like /bin /usr /etc and so on
[18:47] <escott> Orsb, and if you have a separate /boot you then have to mount that onto /wherever/you/mounted/your/ubuntu/root/boot
[18:47] <Orsb> escott: can i do that from the terminal?
[18:47] <ArcherNX01> I would love to switch Ubuntu completely, but if i could find a program that allows me to stream my desktop to twitch.tv or there would be drivers for my Avermedia HD capture card
[18:48] <escott> Orsb, sure "cat /proc/partitions" to see what partitions exist. "sudo mount /dev/sdX# /media/ubuntu" "ls /media/ubuntu" if its wrong "sudo umount /media/ubuntu" and try a different sdX#
[18:48] <jakko> i could never switch to ubuntu
[18:49] <jakko> I have yet to use a stable version
[18:49] <TuneChi> B
[18:49] <ArcherNX01> I tried the newest Ubuntu and i didn't like it
[18:49] <escott> ArcherNX01, the video4linux project handles all TV capture cards. they should have good resources for htat
[18:49] <zykotick9> jakko: ubuntu is not about stability, it's about new features the windows users like... and phone users ;)
[18:49] <ArcherNX01> The new GUI is just shit
[18:49] <escapeplan> Excuse me, I have a costumization issue with icons, Can anyone help me out ?
[18:49] <jakko> what features
[18:50] <escapeplan> I would like to change the VLC-icon ?
[18:50] <minixvbox> can we quit the complaining and just keep it to support please...
[18:50] <escott> !nounity | ArcherNX01
[18:51] <Guest88388> is it possible if I do the following sore to run for wine on PPC I use OpenSUSE:
[18:51] <Guest88388> the joy of every LINUX PPC USERS i'll present the wine installation on PPC linux!
[18:51] <Guest88388> Here we are:
[18:51] <Guest88388> 1) WHY?

[18:52] <escott> Guest88388, I'll say yes. as long as you go to another channel :)
[18:52] <zykotick9> Guest88388: no gnu/linux distro will run wine on PPC - it's an issue with wine
[18:52] <Amirh> hi all.
[18:52] <elijah> zykotick9: Thanks buddy!
[18:52] <minixvbox> Guest88388: seriously, you've been told several times quite clearly you cannot use windows software on ppc
[18:52] <Amirh> I need a free software for ubuntu. I know there's not adobe photoshop for that. but something useful?
[18:52] <escott> !info gimp | Amirh
[18:53] <jakko> i have a problem with audio. Is tthere any thing that can be done?
[18:53] <Amirh> escott: anything else?
[18:53] <bastidrazor> Guest88388: also, why are you asking OpenSUSE questions in #ubuntu? Opensuse channel is less informed?
[18:53] <jakko> when pc boots it takes a few minutes to get audio
[18:53] <luke_c> !info inkscape | Armirh
[18:53] <escott> Amirh, imagemagick for bulk operations (resizing, thumbnailing and the like) inkscape for vectors
[18:53] <pythonsnake> Why 3 FloodBot?
[18:54] <Amirh> escott: I want to crop and combine some pic to create a new one.
[18:54] <Amirh> I just don't like gimp's style/
[18:54] <MonkeyDust> Amirh  can be done with gimp
[18:54] <Amirh> ok, thanks
[18:55] <Orsb> escott: I have tried this command: sudo mount /dev/sdX# /media/ubuntu and I could not find my ubuntu partition! Now I am really lost
[18:55] <escott> Amirh, this is the classic complaint of photoshop people. your choices are suck it up, write to adobe, start coding for ubuntu
[18:55] <venon> the best tutorial for php script ?
[18:55] <venon> please
[18:55] <escott> Orsb, you have to change the X# to match something listed in cat /proc/partitions like sda1
[18:55] <zykotick9> Amirh: gimp's interface has been a controversy for years... they are moving to a unified window i believe
[18:56] <Orsb> escott: I did that but no result
[18:56] <escott> Amirh, rather start coding for the gimp
[18:56] <fellayaboy> i have a small hard drive with ubuntu installed and a bigger blank hard drive..theyre both ide...whats the best solution to utlize both of them to act as one hard drive
[18:56] <rososaputro> yyyy
[18:56] <Amirh> zykotick9: I hope so.
[18:56] <\bMike\b> What can I use to monitor power consumption? My laptop's battery life is... abysmal :(
[18:56] <Amirh> I just installed it.
[18:57] <escott> Orsb, you could try the disk-utility, maybe a gui would help you figure this out? but i'm not sure how i can help you without knowing what you are seeing/trying to type
[18:57] <hypershock> luke_c: glad you are using your pad again. :)
[18:57] <zykotick9> \bMike\b: powertop might be helpful
[18:57] <\bMike\b> zykotick9: I'll start there, thanks
[18:57] <aS2> Hi! I have Ubuntu 11.10 on my Netbook and small but irritating issue. What I need to keep passwords for sudo/ssh-keys during session?
[18:57] <luke_c> hypershock: Thanks for your help! :)
[18:57] <Orsb> escott: i used the command you provided and put sda1, sda2... sda8
[18:57] <escott> fellayaboy, mdadm supports JBOD mode
[18:58] <aS2> On my desktop this works correctly but I have no idea why it doesnt work on my netbook.
[18:58] <fellayaboy> whats mdadm
[18:58] <venon> how long will it take me to learn php languag...
[18:58] <venon> ?
[18:58] <escott> Orsb, ok is there an sdb# listed in /proc/partitions? what did you see when you tried to mount the sda1
[18:58] <fellayaboy> escott, whats mdadm and jbod
[18:59] <escott> fellayaboy, mdadm is the linux raid system jbod=just a bunch of disks AKA raid linear
[18:59] <zykotick9> fellayaboy: an easier method then going the RAID route, would be to mount your big drive as /home or something else?
[18:59] <escott> !raid | fellayaboy
[18:59] <bastidrazor> venon: 2 days
[18:59] <csprite> what is y'all favorite linux rescue disk?
[18:59] <Orsb> escott: I also have windows runnin, but with the linux partition it showed "mount: mount poin /media/ubuntu does not exist"
[18:59] <bastidrazor> csprite: ubuntu liveCD
[19:00] <escott> Orsb, so sudo mkdir /media/ubuntu
[19:00] <escott> Orsb, then try again
[19:00] <csprite> if you dont have internet access
[19:00] <zykotick9> Orsb: mount points are empty directories, they need to exists before you try to mount to them
[19:00] <fellayaboy> zykotick9, can u give me more info about that method
[19:00] <hypershock> venon: heh, that's upto you but you might want to start at php.net and search google for php tutorial
[19:01] <escott> !home | fellayaboy
[19:01] <zykotick9> fellayaboy: is your big driver partitioned/formatted for MS (NTFS/FAT)?
[19:01] <fellayaboy> escott thanks ima look into that raid option...do i have to configure my bios for raid?  what settings do my ide hdd have to be in?? master slave?
[19:01] <fellayaboy> well im not sure what format it is but iw oudl partition it for linux ext4
[19:01] <savid> Hi, I'm having issues with bluetooth.  I'm not able to find my devices using the gui, it just keeps spinning.  I can, however, pair devices from the other direction (ie, I can initiate a pair from my phone).   I need to set up a bluetooth mouse and keyboard, though.  Any ideas on how to make it work?
[19:02] <fellayaboy> escott, thanks for that home directoy moving information
[19:02] <Orsb> escott: on which partition?
[19:02] <escott> fellayaboy, master slave... that takes me back. no its not bios its software, but it does require more work. a separate home would be substantially easier. depends on what your goals are
[19:02] <zykotick9> fellayaboy: then see teh !home factoid escott posted above, for my method.
[19:02] <escott> Orsb, any of them. the mount error was because it needed an empty directory which didn't exist (hence the sudo mkdir)
[19:02] <fellayaboy> thanks guys
[19:03] <fellayaboy> much appreciated
[19:03] <fellayaboy> escott my goal is to just have mroe space and they act as one hard drive...no windows parition..just one partition for ubuntu ext4
[19:04] <Orsb> escott: ok, but how do i know which is my ubuntu partition? Is that the one
[19:05] <escott> Orsb, after successfully mounting a partition onto /media/ubuntu run "ls /media/ubuntu" and look at the contents. are they the contents of an ubuntu /?
[19:05] <parapan> ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS new installation yesterday; today I've upgraded the kernel, and tried to install a samsung printer; reboot required, after reboot init: failed to spawn plymouth main process / init: failed to spawn hwclock process ...and 2 other errors involving mount drives ....is there a way to fix this ???
[19:06] <escott> fellayaboy, if you have a set of stable data that is taking up a lot of space (like a music collection) then you can create a partition on a disk, move the data to that disk, and mount that partition into your FS which is easier. if your data sizes are constantly changing and you need flexibility then JBOD makes multiple disks look like one big disk
[19:07] <savid> Also, hcitool scan doesn't seem to find my mouse or keyboard either :-(   Anyone know why this is?
[19:07] <savid> I have both devices turned on.
[19:09] <lahwran> how can I upgrade one package (specifically, google-chrome-stable) without downloading and installing 300mb of upgrades?
[19:09] <trism> lahwran: sudo apt-get install google-chrome-stable;
[19:09] <lahwran> oh nice. thanks
[19:10] <minixvbox> trism: he said upgrade
[19:10] <trism> minixvbox: it does upgrade
[19:10] <minixvbox> trism: that installs it, i thought he wants a newer package
[19:11] <trism> minixvbox: it will install the newer package when one is available
[19:12] <lahwran> minixvbox: it was already installed; `upgrade` tried to install all available upgrades, but `install` installed just the one upgrade
[19:12] <minixvbox> lahwran: i see
[19:12] <parapan> ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS new installation yesterday; today I've upgraded the kernel, and tried to install a samsung printer; reboot required, after reboot init: failed to spawn plymouth main process / init: failed to spawn hwclock process ...and 2 other errors involving mount drives ....is there a way to fix this ???
[19:13] <fellayaboy> thanks escott seems like jbod is right for me thanks
[19:13] <minixvbox> parapan: how did you upgrade the kernel?
[19:13] <Orsb> escott: thanks for that, i have looked throuh all the partitions. it seems that sda6 is my ubuntu partition but in sda5 i can see grub
[19:14] <parapan> minixvbox: ubuntu interface upgrades available .....most of them having kernel in the package name
[19:15] <hobbelt> whats a good tool to make an image from an Ubuntu VPS / webserver?
[19:15] <minixvbox> parapan: ah, good, i thought you were going to say you installed a custom kernel
[19:17] <parapan> minixvbox:  nope ...the PC is a Dell laptop ...just running the self tests now and I have an error on the HDD test section ...DTS short test did not passed ? may that be that HDD is broken ?
[19:17] <pythonsnake> is it worth upgrading to 12.04?
[19:17] <g3orge> I have an ubuntu laptop that I used with an external monitor (closed lid) and everything worked great, until I decided to choose the second option into the visual effects tab into appearence preference. It downloaded a new driver, updated, restarted and now it doesn't recognise my external monitor nor the laptop monitor itself (it says uknown instead of "laptop"). how can I downgrade to the previous driver and go back?
[19:18] <minixvbox> pythonsnake: when it is released
[19:18] <pythonsnake> but not now?
[19:18] <hobbelt> pythonsnake on production not atm, on a test / fun pc, well, go ahead :).
[19:18] <hobbelt> its not finished
[19:18] <ikonia> pythonsnake: you go through this each release.
[19:19] <ikonia> pythonsnake: if you are happy dealing with issues and it having bugs, try it, if you are not wait for it to be officially released.
[19:19] <luca> ciao
[19:19] <minixvbox> pythonsnake: think for a minute why there is a release process
[19:19] <Kircle> I'm on kernel-ubuntu.com and I've found the latest kernel release for 11.10 is 'v3.2-rc4'. But I'm currently on 3.2.0-10. Which kernel is newer?
[19:20] <ikonia> Kircle: why are you changing your kernel ?
[19:20] <minixvbox> Kircle: 11.10 uses 3.0 not 3.2
[19:20] <pythonsnake> ikonia: :)
[19:20] <ikonia> pythonsnake: I don't find it funny, covering the same questions over and over again
[19:20] <parapan> ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS new installation yesterday; today I've upgraded the kernel, and tried to install a samsung printer; reboot required, after reboot init: failed to spawn plymouth main process / init: failed to spawn hwclock process ...and 2 other errors involving mount drives ....is there a way to fix this ???
[19:20] <pythonsnake> :) != funny
[19:21] <Wooden_Android> can someone help me to get my wireless working in ubuntu?
[19:21] <Kircle> ikonia to see if it fixes my intel mesa graphic problems and minixvbox according to kernelubuntu.com there's an entry for 'v3.2-rc4-oneiric'
[19:21] <Fyodorovna> Wooden_Android, can you identify the card
[19:21] <minixvbox> Kircle: that isn't officially supported
[19:22] <ikonia> Kircle: that is xorg isn't it, not the kernel
[19:22] <minixvbox> Kircle: what is officially supported is whats in the repos
[19:22] <Wooden_Android> Fyodorovna, according to my device manager i think its a Intel(R) WiFi Link 1000 BGN
[19:22] <Kircle> minixvbox ah okay thanks
[19:24] <chengwei_> hello
[19:24] <sae> Hi, I just did a new install of 11.10 and copied over my tomboy notes from 10.04. But they do not appear in tomboy now. What can I do?
[19:25] <Wooden_Android> Fyodorovna, i tried sudo lshw -C network, and expected to get back CLAIMED, UNCLAIMED, ENABLED, or DISABLED, but i didn't get back any of those things
[19:25] <gareth_> Hello good people of #ubuntu. Does anyone have a moment to answer a question about where the studio controls have disappeared to in the new precise pangolin edition of studio? I want to sort out my Firewire card for realtime shizzles.
[19:26] <Fyodorovna> Wooden_Android, not really for me but the channel. :)
[19:26] <zykotick9> gareth_: reask in #ubuntu+1 for precise questions
[19:26] <pangolin> gareth_: try either #ubuntustudio or #ubuntu+1 for help with 12.04
[19:26] <lilVaratep> Goog Chrome keeps crashing=\.
[19:26] <Wooden_Android> Fyodorovna, well your the first person who has responded to my request for help all day
[19:26] <gareth_> wonderful, thanks for pointing me in the right direction :D
[19:26] <minixvbox> lilVaratep: any reason you're not using chromium instead?
[19:26] <Fyodorovna> lilVaratep, you might try chromium, it is in the repos
[19:27] <L3top> sae, I would find / -name 'name-of-note-file-you-have' and see if it exists in other locations.
[19:28] <Fyodorovna> Wooden_Android, yeah, it happaens the devil is in the details. :)
[19:28] <escott> Orsb, you might have a separate /boot partition. if you do then sudo mount /dev/sda5 /media/ubuntu/boot before you chroot
[19:29] <sae> L3top, thank you for the reply. When starting Tomboy it has some default notes which get created in the same directory. The directory is named 0 under home.
[19:29] <pythonsnake> Is it normal that ubuntu uses more than 1GB of RAM idle?
[19:29] <ikonia> pythonsnake: it uses it for caching
[19:29] <ikonia> pythonsnake: it's not actually in use
[19:29] <ikonia> pythonsnake: all linux does this, not just ubuntu
[19:30] <L3top> sae: alternatively notes=$(dpkg -L tomboy); for note in $notes; do find $note -name 'name-of-notes-file'; done     would be a bit faster.
[19:30] <escott> pythonsnake, does it make sense to be powering your RAM dimms and for them to be empty of potentially useful data that can be discarded at a moments notice?
[19:31] <pythonsnake> escott: no
[19:31] <L3top> hmmm... let me check that sae
[19:31] <Wargasm> my system doesn't use 1 gb idle
[19:31] <zykotick9> !atemyram | pythonsnake
[19:31] <escott> pythonsnake, and thats why it caches stuff
[19:31] <pythonsnake> what about the swap, never used
[19:31] <ikonia> pythonsnake: swap is hard disk
[19:31] <zykotick9> pythonsnake: but comparing the various DEs some use a lot more RAM then others
[19:32] <tyatpi> Ubuntu is great!
[19:32] <sae> L3top: Thanks again, but I think that is not the issue here. On my old system I had a 0 directory under home. In that directory I had another 0 and 1 directory. Seems tomboy got away with .tomboy directory.
[19:32] <L3top> yeah... that is a chunky way to do it... skip that... will throw a few errors
[19:32] <tyatpi> But what is the next linux distribution that you guys would recommend after Ubuntu?  Straight Debian
[19:32] <tyatpi> ?
[19:32] <sae> L3top: both 0 and 1 subdirectories have notes files in them.
[19:32] <ikonia> tyatpi: up to you - recommendations are personl
[19:33] <theadmin> tyatpi: This is not a channel to take polls or ask for recommendations, this is Ubuntu support only.
[19:33] <waxstone> tyatpi: mint
[19:33] <tyatpi> really?  Support?  wow.  Okay then.  I was misguided.
[19:33] <theadmin> waxstone: Same goes to you.
[19:33] <L3top> sae:  that is what I am trying to say, is that you might have to copy them from one to another. I do not use tomboy, so I cannot be more specific.
[19:33] <pythonsnake> but why doesn't it cache more? i have 1982mb free
[19:33] <stopbits> hey new to this channel. Just saying high.
[19:34] <theadmin> tyatpi: You can chit-chat in #ubuntu-offtopic , #defocus and a few other channels
[19:34] <ikonia> pythonsnake: it caches what it needs/thinks best, just trust it
[19:34] <bastidrazor> i trust it
[19:34] <pythonsnake> ah ok
[19:34] <pythonsnake> Thanks
[19:35] <sae> L3top: thanks again! :) I've searched the net for answers, but so far nothing in that direction, or info about older Tomboy versions. Thanks again anyway. :)
[19:35] <tyatpi> theadmin: thank you for the information on this channel and recommendations for others
[19:35] <tyatpi> is this channel associated with ubuntu-forums.org?
[19:36] <theadmin> tyatpi: Well, in some sense. Nothing in this channel gets to the forums or vice versa, but they're both official Ubuntu support methods

[19:38] <Orsb> escott: sda2 is indiacated with an asterik as my boot partition, but that has windows 7 on. So, after mounting sda6 (my ubuntu partition) shall i also mount sda5 (which has the grub) or sda2 which is indicated as boot?
[19:38] <vijay__> yeah...i use laptop (Sony VPCCW15FN)
[19:38] <satyanash> Hi! I am trying to set up a dual-head display.
[19:38] <sae> Thanks again everyone - heading over to gnome :)
[19:38] <hobbelt> theadmin does it offer the possibility to make the backup to a local (at home that is) drive?
[19:38] <satyanash> I want to be able to use the same viewports/workspaces/pages on the same machine.
[19:38] <satyanash> on both the displays.

[19:39] <mrintegr1ty> hi all, i have setup two network interface which both get their ip via DHCP. How can I specify which nic should come up first? Alternatively, which one should set the default route?
[19:39] <hobbelt> theadmin I kind of want to save my current VPS setup allowing me to reinstall it quickly
[19:39] <ikonia> mrintegr1ty: they come up in interface order
[19:39] <vijay__> L3top :  yeah !
[19:39] <pythonsnake> Why is my graphic card Unknown under system info?
[19:39] <ikonia> mrintegr1ty: you set which ever one you want to tbe the default route
[19:39] <ikonia> pythonsnake: because it can't be identified
[19:39] <vijay__> L3top :  its a Latop Screen
[19:39] <jlebrech> i'm trying to install nginx on the latest version of ubuntu, I can't get the init.d script to work

[19:40] <pythonsnake> How do I fix that
[19:40] <vijay__> minixvbox: what is squint ?
[19:40] <ikonia> mrintegr1ty: eth0 first, eth1 next etc

[19:40] <cordyceps> how do I colorize the cursor in lxterminal?
[19:40] <escott> Orsb, the bootable flag isn't meaningful to ubuntu. you want to mount your ubuntu / partition the one that contains /bin /etc /boot and so forth onto /media/ubuntu. i dont know how to tell you what sda# that will be except to try each one in turn. if you think you have found it send us the output of ls /media/ubuntu and i can confirm

[19:44] <Boreeas> Dat spam
[19:44] <pythonsnake> ...
[19:45] <satyanash> lol, ban hat trick
[19:45] <minixvbox> lilVaratep: you can resize the windows partition to make room
[19:45] <mputtr> so... how's everyone doing today?
[19:45] <ikonia> mrintegr1ty: do you control the dhcp servers for these networks ?
[19:45] <Oredigger> windows did something to my bluetooth device :(
[19:45] <Oredigger> I can't connect to it anymore... stupid windows
[19:45] <mputtr> Oredigger: windows should not be interfering w/ ubuntu
[19:45] <mrintegr1ty> ikonia: just one of them (the one that shouldn't be dhte defult gw
[19:46] <lilVaratep> minixvbox: how do i resize the windows partition without losing information?
[19:46] <mputtr> i'm assuming you've already tried to connect to the device?
[19:46] <Oredigger> mputtr I used my bluetooth audio adapter in windows, and now it won't work in ubuntu
[19:46] <minixvbox> lilVaratep: use gparted, make sure you backup what you need just incase
[19:46] <KM0201> lilVaratep: the easiest way is to pay attention.
[19:46] <ikonia> mrintegr1ty: is it offering "gateway" or "defaultgateway" in it's config ?
[19:46] <Fyodorovna> lilVaratep, which windows release?
[19:46] <satyanash> Hi! is there anyway I can move a windows from one X window to another, without Xinerama ?
[19:46] <mputtr> Oredigger: does your audio adapter support multiple devices?
[19:46] <lilVaratep> Fyodorovna: I have w7 ultimate 64-bit.
[19:47] <lilVaratep> minixvbox: gparted from the Ubuntu live-cd correct
[19:47] <Oredigger> mputtr ??? dunno It was working fine in Ubuntu until I used it once in windows
[19:47] <minixvbox> lilVaratep: yes, that will work
[19:47] <Fyodorovna> lilVaratep, W7 has a partitioner that will do this while running
[19:47] <mputtr> Oredigger: some bluetooth devices only accepts connections with 1 device at a time and only stores that info
[19:47] <Oredigger> mputtr I'm using a dual boot, so I only use on OS at a time
[19:47] <satyanash> anyone >
[19:48] <Oredigger> mputtr well, it's the same hardware
[19:48] <mputtr> Oredigger: yeah, but some devices only store a single profile at a time so when you paired it with the windows version, it might have overwritten the profile
[19:48] <Fyodorovna> lilVaratep, best to use the Disk Manager then make sure W7 is running before a install of ub untu.
[19:48] <savid> Wtf?  I'm trying to set up my bluetooth mouse and it wants me to enter a PIN for the mouse?
[19:48] <mputtr> have you tried to pair it up in ubuntu?
[19:48] <ikonia> !wtf > savid
[19:48] <mputtr> savid: it's usually 0000
[19:48] <mputtr> or 1234
[19:49] <Oredigger> mputtr cool... how to I remove the device?  I can't pair it again... it doesn't find it
[19:49] <mrintegr1ty> ikonia: good question.. it's libvirt with built in dnsmasq
[19:49] <ikonia> mrintegr1ty: oooh, that makes it intersting....
[19:49] <savid> sorry, didn't realize wt* was not "family friendly" :-P
[19:49] <mputtr> Oredigger: you should be able to just set the device to go into pairing mode and use ubuntu to scan and pair it again
[19:49] <KM0201> lilVaratep: did you figure it out?
[19:50] <Oredigger> mputtr in an ideal world, yes :)  BUt that's not working...
[19:50] <mputtr> Oredigger: well damn..... you might have to pull the manual on this, but see if you can do a factory reset on that bluetooth device
[19:50] <mputtr> so it clears all the profiles
[19:51] <savid> mputtr, it also wanted me to type a pin on my bluetooth keyboard (type number and press enter on keyboard),  but that didn't seem to work either.  I don't understand why these devices require PIN number setup.
[19:51] <Zaeluos> is this run by people to do with ubuntu?
[19:51] <mputtr> savid:  it should still be 0000 or 1234
[19:51] <escott> savid, security requirement
[19:51] <mputtr> savid: it's a security thing
[19:52] <minixvbox> Zaeluos: we are all volunteers here
[19:52] <mputtr> Zaeluos: afaik, this channel is for general ubuntu support
[19:52] <Zaeluos> I'm away to switch to another distro & snap ubuntu livecd :P
[19:52] <Zaeluos> ass holes
[19:52] <mputtr> 0.o
[19:52] <mrintegr1ty> ikonia: indeed, i might actually disable the built in dnsmasq as I will want to manage dns with puppet/theforman anyway
[19:52] <Oredigger> mputtr there is an ubuntu manual?
[19:52] <mputtr> Oredigger: i meant for your audio device
[19:53] <mputtr> sorry, i guess i wasn't clear
[19:53] <ikonia> mrintegr1ty: you've got an interesting issue there, I'll have a little think as I'm interested too
[19:53] <_Marcus> What's a good command-line bittorrent client?
[19:53] <mrintegr1ty> ikonia: thanks mate
[19:53] <savid> mputtr, well with the keyboard Ubuntu is giving me a 6-digit number to type in on the bt keyboard.  It's not working.
[19:53] <mrintegr1ty> ikonia: I have to go setup a film for my gf, will be back later though
[19:53] <ikonia> mrintegr1ty: pleasure, nice to have something interest
[19:53] <mputtr> savid: did you hit enter afterwards?
[19:53] <Oredigger> mputtr yeah, there is only 1 button on the device, and that is to pair it.  It's this thing http://www.logitech.com/en-my/speakers-audio/home-pc-speakers/devices/8087
[19:53] <savid> mputtr, yes, I did
[19:53] <minixvbox> _Marcus: transmission has a cli frontend i think
[19:53] <Orsb> escott: on sda5 I have System.map and vmlinuz (no typo) but no /boot shall I create it?
[19:53] <yun> join/ #ubuntu-fr
[19:53] <mputtr> savid: dang...
[19:53] <savid> mputtr, is there a way to do this on the cmdline?
[19:54] <mputtr> savid: sorry... that i do not know
[19:54] <mputtr> Oredigger: one moment.. let me read it real quick
[19:54] <escott> Orsb, that is the /boot now you need to find the / partition
[19:54] <Fyodorovna> !bootinfo > Fyodorovna
[19:55] <_Marcus> minixvbox: Thanks
[19:55] <minixvbox> _Marcus: no worries :)
[19:55] <mputtr> Oredigger: is your device showing the red light?
[19:55] <Xabster_> how do I make youtube videos automatically start when the page loads? (ubuntu 11.10 and firefox 10)
[19:55] <Oredigger> mputtr yup
[19:55] <mputtr> ahh.
[19:56] <mputtr> well, it says to press and hold the connect button till the green light blinks
[19:56] <meerkats> what commodore64 emulator should I use?
[19:56] <mputtr> then it's supposed to find and reconnect
[19:56] <ikonia> which ever one you want
[19:56] <meerkats> I find a c64 in synaptic, downloaded it, but I cannot use it
[19:56] <meerkats> I click on it, nothing happens
[19:56] <ikonia> mrintegr1ty: why not ?
[19:56] <dubzed> 11.10 broke my ability to print on a dell v313 usb, cups recognizes the printer and driver, but nothing prints
[19:56] <ikonia> mrintegr1ty: did you read the doucumentation on how to use it ?
[19:56] <mputtr> if that doesn't work, then go into ubuntu, remove the pairing and re-pair it
[19:57] <Oredigger> mputtr how do I remove the pairing?
[19:57] <mputtr> you go into the settings, find the pairing in unbuntu and you should be able to remove it
[19:57] <escott> Orsb, when you find the partition that contains /bin and /etc you will do the following: sudo mount /dev/sda# /media/ubuntu; sudo mount /dev/sda5 /media/ubuntu/boot
[19:58] <Oredigger> mputtr ahhh.... that's what the +/- button was in the lower left of setting!  I was trying to press delete or right click
[19:58] <mputtr> :)
[19:58] <tyatpi> Is there a part in Admin or preferences of Gnome to install fonts?
[19:58] <mputtr> now try and pair it again
[19:59] <satyanash> Hi! is there anyway I can move a window from one X window to another, without Xinerama ?
[20:00] <minixvbox> !fonts | tyatpi
[20:00] <tyatpi> ubottu: help
[20:00] <dubzed> 11.10 broke my ability to print on a dell v313 usb, cups recognizes the printer and driver, but nothing prints, any suggestions?
[20:00] <Oredigger> mputtr :D SOUND!!!!
[20:01] <tyatpi> !patience
[20:01] <mputtr> Oredigger: congratulations :)
[20:02] <mputtr> Oredigger: afaik, even though the hardware is the same one, but if it is run by different OSs like ubuntu and windows, it will register differently
[20:03] <mputtr> Oredigger: so i guess you might have to start hte process all over again if you want to pair in windows again
[20:03] <dubzed> 11.10 breaks a printer that has been working since 10.04 and no one has any answers, FUCK CANONICAL, I'm heading for a different distro
[20:03] <Oredigger> mputtr ... or just don't use windows :)
[20:03] <crizzy> dubzed: yes, because it totally has nothing to do with cups. it was canonical that broke it -.-
[20:03] <mputtr> Oredigger: that works just as well XD
[20:03] <Orsb> escott: when I verified the installation with sudo grub-install --recheck /dev/sda i got the message "sudo: unable to resolve host ubuntu". Is it a problem?
[20:04] <pangolin> !language | dubzed
[20:04] <escott> Orsb, you shouldn't need to sudo. you should sudo chroot and then sudo should be unnecessary
[20:05] <Oredigger> mputtr Thanks for the help... All is right again in my world
[20:06] <mputtr> Oredigger: np
[20:07] <pythonsnake> is there a sensor applet like cpu temperature monitors in Unity?
[20:08] <Canadian1296> How do I change the root password for mysql?
[20:08] <rfiaca> Canadian1296, install mysql administrator and it is easy
[20:09] <Canadian1296> rfiaca: I already have mysql installed, I just need to change the password. I still know the old one.
[20:10] <rfiaca> Canadian1296, so login with router account
[20:10] <minixvbox> !noroot
[20:10] <rfiaca> Canadian1296, go to User Administration and type the new password
[20:10] <zykotick9> minixvbox: doesn't apply to mysql ;)
[20:10] <Canadian1296> rfiaca: Command line only
[20:10] <minixvbox> zykotick9: ah sorry
[20:10] <LjL> uh
[20:10] <LjL> are we talking about the MySQL password or a user password?
[20:11] <Canadian1296> LjL: MySQL root password
[20:11] <Orsb> escott: thanks for your help, the menu finally came back but i still cannot log in. I can enter the recovery mode. Could you advise me how to proceed?
[20:11] <rfiaca> Canadian1296, oh... then try this http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/mysql-change-root-password/
[20:12] <Canadian1296> rfiaca: I got it, thanks
[20:12] <escott> Orsb, so you can boot recovery but not the normal boot?
[20:12] <escott> Orsb, what happens when you try to do the normal boot?
[20:12] <pythonsnake> is there a sensor applet like cpu temperature monitors in Unity?
[20:13] <minixvbox> pythonsnake: maybe you could use conky?
[20:13] <pythonsnake> found one - psensor
[20:14] <pythonsnake> minixvbox: i don't want it to be in the desktop
[20:14] <pythonsnake> on*
[20:14] <rocket16> Hey guys, can I synchronize google tasks with Evolution or Thunderbird (maybe with some addons?)? I really need that, but didn't find much info online. :( Please help
[20:14] <minixvbox> pythonsnake: ok
[20:15] <escott> rocket16, thunderbird has a plugin system just like firefox and there a google plugins there. you can also intall lightning
[20:16] <Orsb> escott: i can boot only recovery mode, normal boot hangs at "Checking battery state"
[20:16] <zykotick9> Orsb: have you tried nomodeset?
[20:17] <zykotick9> Orsb: actually, if you see that much, nomodeset probably doesn't apply
[20:17] <escott> Orsb, seems suggested solutions are for reinstalling graphics drivers http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1859820
[20:17] <rocket16> escott: I already installed lightning, and it synchronizes google calendar pretty well. But nothing works for google tasks. :( But I had some luck using google calendar tab plugin, although it's just an ugly form of google calendar, just the online version displayed insode thunderbird.
[20:17] <escott> rocket16, i think part of the problem is that the task list is not a full fledged thing in google. its built into the calendar in a weird way
[20:17] <pythonsnake> how do i remove a repo?
[20:18] <zykotick9> pythonsnake: PPA?
[20:18] <pythonsnake> yes
[20:18] <zykotick9> !ppa-purge | pythonsnake
[20:19] <Orsb> escott: I'll check that. shall I do it from the recovery mode or live cd?
[20:19] <escott> Orsb, you should be able to manipulate apt from the recovery
[20:19] <pythonsnake> thanks
[20:21] <rocket16> escott: Yeah. I just wanted to keep my android and ubuntu synchronized, but I guess that ugly google calendar tab for thunderbird works, at the very least. So, I think it's best to stick to it for the time being. Thanks for the help anyway. :)
[20:22] <escott> rocket16, i think ive gotten it working before but never really tried that hard
[20:22] <grkblood> for some reason my compiz unity settings are no longer working. is there a way to tell why this is? my window looks like Unity 2D but i didnt log in using that
[20:22] <escott> grkblood, your graphics drivers probably aren't working. what kind of graphics card do you have?
[20:23] <grkblood> intel
[20:23] <grkblood> i have a sandybridge so it defaults to the onboard intel gpu
[20:23] <Infinite8> Any suggestions on the best backup tool for Ubuntu
[20:23] <escott> !backup | Infinite8
[20:24] <escott> grkblood, then it should be working. what does glxinfo say?
[20:24] <minixvbox> Infinite8: nothing beats commen sense copy and paste backups
[20:24] <Infinite8> Minixvbox:  That could take a long time to do over and over again.
[20:25] <andrewaclt> If I'm usuing 12.04 LTS beta, is switching to the 12.04 release just a matter of apt-get upgrade? Do oyu have to run do-release-upgrade?
[20:25] <aeon-ltd> andrewaclt: #ubuntu+1
[20:25] <minixvbox> Infinite8: not if you're organised
[20:25] <grkblood> escott, http://paste.ubuntu.com/868869/
[20:26] <grkblood> brb
[20:26] <Infinite8> Minixvbox:  I'm pretty organized with my files, but do you have any tips on making copying and paste easier?
[20:27] <minixvbox> Infinite8: keeping my files in a central location organsied into categories help for me
[20:27] <itaylor57> andrewaclt, If you install a development version of Ubuntu Precise and keep up with package updates, then you will be upgraded to the official release of 12.04 when it comes out. To make sure, type « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a terminal. Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1.
[20:27] <escott> grkblood, your glx is not working. odd. is mesa installed dpkg -l "*mesa*" is the intel module loaded (i think it is i815 but im not sure)
[20:27] <andrewaclt> itaylor57, thanks
[20:27] <Psih0MAN> hello! if i use dd to put an ubuntu iso cd image onto a usb flash drive, will it boot?
[20:28] <minixvbox> Psih0MAN: with 11.10 yes
[20:28] <JoeR1> Is there a way to disable extra workspaces?
[20:28] <Psih0MAN> minixvbox: thank you
[20:28] <minixvbox> JoeR1: just set it to one workspace
[20:29] <minixvbox> JoeR1: if you are using unity or gnome3 then i have no idea
[20:29] <JoeR1> minixvbox, and I do that how?
[20:29] <Xabster_> how do I make youtube videos automatically start when the page loads? I also got problems listening to dr.dk's netradio (ubuntu 11.10 and firefox 10 and same problems in chrome)
[20:29] <Xabster_> any hints?
[20:29] <maury> hi
[20:30] <JoeR1> never mind, I feel foolish
[20:30] <escott> JoeR1, unity-tweak-tool might have this, you could also try ccsm, but you might break things
[20:30] <Fyodorovna> JoeR1, if unity you could set it in compiz
[20:31] <maury> does anyone knows how to deactivate keycode 240?
[20:31] <minixvbox> maury: what is keycode 240?
[20:31] <pythonsnake> I have an issue: after adding ppa:alexmurray/indicator-sensors, I still don't have the package indicator-sensors. What's going on?
[20:31] <maury> I have a laptop lenovo y460p and randomly writes wierd characters
[20:31] <JoeR1> escott, Fyodorovna I found it, I felt stupid for how easy it was
[20:32] <JoeR1> thanks though
[20:32] <maury> dmesg says: keyboard: can't emulate rawmode for keycode 240
[20:32] <Elise001> I would appreciate some help with my ubuntu installation on my Compaq Atlantis Presario.

[20:45] <pythonsnake> will try
[20:46] <sythe_> ;)
[20:46] <Elise001> I had started to update ubuntu and it stopped in middle of updates.
[20:46] <sythe_> Thanks
[20:46] <pythonsnake> :)
[20:47] <Xabster_> how do i get last.fm radio channels to work in firefox 10? ubuntu 11.10
[20:47] <sythe_> Elise001: That's not good.
[20:47] <baconbacon123> I fergot the name of the channel loke ubintu-oxfftopic
[20:47] <zykotic10> baconbacon123: #defocus ?
[20:47] <itaylor57> baconbacon123, #ubuntu-offtopic
[20:47] <Fyodorovna> Elise001, you lose the connection?
[20:47] <Xabster_> or how do i get to work in chrome?
[20:48] <Xabster_> it doesn't matter which browser - just help me get it to work
[20:48] <esmirlin> hey guys i cant start ubuntu 12.04 beta1 in unity 3d always log in in 2d, anyone is having same issue?
[20:48] <Xabster_> youtube videos also act weird
[20:48] <Fyodorovna> !precise | esmirlin
[20:48] <baconbacon123> No i think itz like club ununto or sumthin
[20:49] <Elise001> I am still here. Yes, I think I did lose wifi connection while updating. Now mouse does not work.
[20:49] <Fyodorovna> Elise001, can you logout or reboot?
[20:50] <Spyros> you can always reboot with "Ctrl+Alt+F1" ,then "Ctrl+alt+del"
[20:50] <philipballew> Should a router be able to open the same port for two different computers or does my router just suck?
[20:51] <Elise001> Yes. But restart and then same problem
[20:52] <Spyros> if you login to terminal and run apt-get upgrade?
[20:52] <waxstone_> Elise001:Does your hard drive have enough space
[20:53] <znejk> hello, does ubuntu 11.10 run on an AMD NB550?
[20:53] <ikonia> znejk: yes
[20:53] <Elise001> Not sure.
[20:53] <znejk> ikonia, gfx drivers too?
[20:53] <johanesbourkg> df -h for disk space
[20:53] <ikonia> znejk: well, that depends on if your card is supported
[20:53] <ch33z> I TELL YOU!!
[20:53] <znejk> ATI 6250M
[20:53] <znejk> i think
[20:53] <ch33z> Thank you come AGAIN!
[20:53] <ikonia> znejk: then check out if that's supported
[20:54] <savid> Hi, I'm having issues with overscan on my HDMI output.  I have a radeon HD 6600M.   Anyone know how to fix it?
[20:54] <znejk> found a bug report which says it was fixed so I guess it will be fine :)
[20:55] <waxstone_> Elise001: as johanesbourkg suggests, type df -h in the terminal and check your available space
[20:55] <johanesbourkg> philipballew, neither could i, don't think so
[20:56] <loucal> is there any other config file on 11.04 that would be read over /etc/ssh/ssh_config ?
[20:57] <johanesbourkg> man ssh_config
[20:57] <johanesbourkg> yes
[20:58] <grkblood> my laptop and tv only share one resolution in common (640x480) so if i try to mirror my laptop to my tv it looks horrible. is there a way to add more resolution settings to my laptop?
[20:58] <Elise001> very annoying.
[20:58] <loucal> johanesbourkg: my mistake, I should have been clearer, besides .ssh/config in the home directory, it does not exist
[20:59] <Deihmos> window snap does not work.
[20:59] <johanesbourkg> you can create it, (but i don't think it would act on the more global settings)
[20:59] <Elise001> I can't get to the terminal because the mouse is stuck and I can't tab to the terminal.
[21:00] <Elise001> I have done ctrl alt delete several times.
[21:00] <johanesbourkg> Elise001, Ctrl+alt+F1 to F6?
[21:00] <Elise001> I will try that.
[21:00] <loucal> I need to use ssh but changes to the config are not taking effect, even after restarting the service or even the machine, i have no configuration in the user directory so i am puzzled
[21:00] <Fyodorovna> grkblood, it seems you need to get the graphics set up fully working really.
[21:01] <johanesbourkg> loucal, sshd_config ?
[21:01] <zykotic10> loucal: ssh server is configured with sshd_config
[21:01] <loucal> wait, so it doesn't use the file in /etc/ssh/ssh_config ?
[21:01] <johanesbourkg> nope
[21:02] <Miqi> No live media can access my hard drive. Is there a way to make linux recognize the disklabel so it can mount the drive?
[21:02] <johanesbourkg> grkblood, have you fiddled with xrandr?
[21:02] <loucal> silly me, thank you
[21:03] <zykotic10> Miqi: what format is the drive?  raid?
[21:03] <bigshum> : powerpc installation on a g3 iMac. got to a point where it's stating 'no disk drive was detected. if you know the name of there driver….' etc etc. Any idea what driver I should be using?
[21:03] <virunga> Hi, i'd like to share files in my lan network but Personal File Sharing Preferences says "This feature cannot be enabled because the required packages are not installed on your system". I already installed samba, what dependencies does it need? Help please :)
[21:03] <Elise001> That got me to the terminal and I logged in. Thanks.
[21:04] <Miqi> zykotic: Not sure I don't think I've changed it from whatever it came as
[21:04] <zykotic10> !tab > Miqi
[21:05] <johanesbourkg> virunga, nfs-kernel-server maybe
[21:05] <zykotic10> johanesbourkg: nfs has nothing to do with PFS.  virunga
[21:05] <johanesbourkg> got it
[21:05] <johanesbourkg> thnx
[21:06] <virunga> zykotic10, ok, so not that package :)
[21:06] <zykotic10> Miqi: what happens when you try to mount?  what command are you using?
[21:06] <Elise001> 6%, 1%, 1%, 0%, 1%
[21:06] <zykotic10> virunga: not that one, no.
[21:06] <virunga> zykotic10, do you know which one is the need one?
[21:06] <zykotic10> virunga: nope.
[21:08] <Miqi> zykotic10: Whenever I, a program, or startup tries to mount the drive, Linux doesn't recognize the disk.
[21:08] <Fyodorovna> Elise001, what happens if you run a update comand from there?
[21:08] <ubuntu> hey
[21:09] <zykotic10> Miqi: need some details.  is this another drive vs your /?  are you using fstab?
[21:09] <nyquist> Hi there, I've got a little problem in which I can only boot my laptop using ubuntu if I put in the grub the configuration nomodeset
[21:09] <okum> anybody know, just what the hell is going on? (gives me an error, won't let me do anything on desktop, then like resets and works..) http://oi40.tinypic.com/15eusyr.jpg
[21:09] <nyquist> otherwise I get a blank screen
[21:09] <zykotic10> nyquist: that's common - what is the issue?
[21:10] <nyquist> I've tried numerous things but still can't get this to work
[21:10] <Miqi> zykotic10: This is my internal hard drive versus various distros running from yumi on my flash drive
[21:10] <zykotic10> nyquist: do you want to make nomodeset permanent?
[21:10] <freezer> hi
[21:10] <zykotic10> Miqi: yumi?  what is that?
[21:11] <nyquist> still haven't but the problem is that nomodeset does not allow me to set the correct resolution
[21:11] <Fyodorovna> freezer, dee hidee hoh
[21:11] <nyquist> I've tried working with xrandr, etc... but nothing worked yet :)
[21:11] <zykotic10> nyquist: after nomodeset (so you can see) install your graphics drivers
[21:11] <freezer> Fyodorovna, what?
[21:11] <Miqi> zykotic10: Yumi is Your Universal Multiboot Installer. It let's me run linux from my flash drive as you would from a live cd
[21:11] <nyquist> been there done that :P
[21:11] <nyquist> :)
[21:12] <Fyodorovna> freezer, see Cab Calloway. :)
[21:12] <zykotic10> Miqi: and what distro are you using with your flash drive?
[21:12] <zykotic10> Miqi: actually doesn't matter - for me.  I can't help.  Good luck.
[21:12] <Fyodorovna> freezer, mini the moocher song lyric.
[21:13] <Miqi> zykotic10:  But the problem has nothing to do with where I'm working from. The problem is that nothing linux, usb or cd,can mount my hard drive
[21:14] <freezer> Fyodorovna, i c
[21:14] <zykotic10> Miqi: i can't help you.
[21:14] <Miqi> zykotic10:  Oh well. thanks anyway.
[21:15] <c0ldfyre> Can someone give me some advice? First time Unbuntu user with mild scripting knowledge. Having trouble compiling src because of constant lib errors or other issues
[21:15] <bigterd> how can i update jaunty if i can't update jaunty?
[21:15] <zykotic10> c0ldfyre: what are you compiling?  are you sure there isn't a package available?
[21:16] <Fyodorovna> !eol | bigterd
[21:16] <bigterd> yay, you told me it's not supposed. duh. i'm trying to update it
[21:16] <bigterd> how can i update jaunty if i can't update jaunty?
[21:16] <bigterd> supported*
[21:16] <zykotic10> bigterd: see the link provided by !eol
[21:16] <itaylor57> bigterd, read the post
[21:16] <c0ldfyre> I was trying to install "sourceinstall-GTK", but I keep getting lib errors
[21:17] <Fyodorovna> bigterd, read the bots message, and note that a upgarde will chnge from grub legacy to grub 2
[21:17] <Fyodorovna> S/upgrade/change
[21:17] <zykotic10> Fyodorovna: actually upgrade do NOT update grub by default
[21:17] <Fyodorovna> zykotic10, starts it you have to accept it.:)
[21:18] <Fyodorovna> zykotic10, and you don't have to YEL. :)
[21:18] <Fyodorovna> YELL*
[21:18] <bigterd> once again i remember why i use the *BSD's.
[21:19] <virunga> Hi, i'd like to share files in my lan network but Personal File Sharing Preferences says "This feature cannot be enabled because the required packages are not installed on your system". I already installed samba, what dependencies does it need? Help please :)
[21:19] <bigterd> last i remember updating doesn't involve a fresh install...
[21:19] <Elise001> when did apt-get upgrade system responded Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied) Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/). are you root?
[21:20] <bigterd> unless i'm mis-understanding word definitions.
[21:20] <Fyodorovna> Elise001, try these two commands. sudo dpkg --configure -a && sudo apt-get -f install
[21:20] <johanesbourkg> Elise001, sudo apt...
[21:20] <Elise001> When did dir, got: Desktop, Downloads, Music, Pictures, Templates....
[21:21] <marc> salut
[21:21] <Fyodorovna> bigterd, the eol upgrade is not a fresh install.
[21:21] <bigterd> wonder why the recommend it
[21:21] <Fyodorovna> bigterd, but that iis way down below even the lts a fresh install is really your fastest choice.
[21:22] <bigterd> good thing i don't run this stuff for routers, firewalls, and fileservers.
[21:22] <bigterd> an upgrade requires a 1/2 day of downtime
[21:22] <aaGp> excuse me, im wondering how to know where can i look for gtk icons?, like for example in xchat in the dropdown menus the put gtk-info n it shows a little icon of information? where can i find more?..
[21:23] <Fyodorovna> bigterd, just understanding the upgrade structure and eol's would have been a better choice, eh.
[21:23] <bigterd> not choosing ubutnu would of been a better choice. debian and arch don't have this problem. and *BSD's as i stated before.
[21:24] <c0ldfyre> can any tell me why I'm getting this error when installing "sourceinstaller"
[21:24] <c0ldfyre> checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
[21:24] <c0ldfyre> checking for GTK... no
[21:24] <c0ldfyre> configure: error: could not detect required GTK >= 2.4
[21:24] <Elise001> It asked for my password. I gave it my password. It is doing something. Shotwell.
[21:24] <Fyodorovna> bigterd, your choice though huh. :)
[21:24] <Elise001> Thank you.
[21:25] <bigterd> i think it's funny this box i pulled out of the closet since 2009 is to old to experiment with. wtf is right.
[21:25] <Elise001> Setting up Shotwell. Setting up software center. Lots of output.
[21:26] <bigshum> Powerpc installation on a g3 iMac. got to a point where it's stating 'no disk drive was detected. if you know the name of there driver….' etc etc. Does anybody have a workaround to this? My google-fu is failing me…
[21:26] <savid> What do I do if my bluetooth mouse is too sensitive,  but the acceleration/sensitivity settings are already at their lowest?
[21:26] <glebihan> c0ldfyre, you're not really "installing" but "compiling" which means you need some development libraries, in this case probably the libgtk2.0-dev package
[21:27] <glebihan> c0ldfyre, make sure to read the README or INSTALL files that probably come with the source of the software in order to make sure you have all the required dependencies to build it
[21:28] <Fyodorovna> bigterd, just install a OS that you like really, this is ubuntu support.
[21:29] <Fyodorovna> if you need to complain #ubuntu-offtopic may be the place. :)
[21:33] <okum> can someone help me out here? need to solve this error.. http://oi40.tinypic.com/15eusyr.jpg
[21:34]  * bigterd takes a shower while the EOLA update takes place...all 3Gb, then the latest update can take place
[21:34] <Elise001> It worked! Am able to run firefox. Thank you!
[21:34] <johanesbourkg> ^_^
[21:36] <zykotic10> bigterd: be aware, you can't skip releases (what are you trying to upgrade to?  10.04 is pretty close to your version, and is still supported and once 12.04 is release you can go LTS->LTS) but for the time being you'll need 9.04->9.10->10.04 (at least)

[21:40] <Fyodorovna> bigshum, what are your problems my son. :)
[21:41] <bigterd> time. i'm going to wash my ass while ubuntu does a double upgrade.
[21:41] <jakko1> I have to always enable numlock when the system reboots
[21:41] <jakko1> is there no way around that
[21:41] <pangolin> !language | bigterd
[21:41] <bigterd> haha.
[21:41] <ikonia> bigterd: that is unacceptable language
[21:41] <bigshum> my iMac is making me cry. and my google fu is apparently rubbish. g3 iMac, using the minimal ppc 11.10 disc, and it can't detect my hard drive
[21:41] <bigshum> i went through every driver in the list
[21:41] <bigshum> and failed
[21:41] <bigterd> ikonia, pangolin ubottu hahaha.
[21:41] <lilVaratep> does DIVX work with chromium on ubuntu?
[21:42] <bigterd> hm.
[21:42] <bigshum> I am back to the boot: prompt now, hoping there;s something I can type in after 'install' to see if it makes a difference
[21:42] <pangolin> !guidelines | bigterd
[21:42] <bigterd> time. i'm going to wash my arse while ubuntu does a double upgrade.
[21:42] <bigterd> hows that?
[21:43] <ikonia> bigterd: you're muted in the channel, send me a pm when you feel you can contribute again
[21:43] <Fyodorovna> bigshum, kind of a old computer to run a full ubuntu install anyway, you may be lucky it does not work.
[21:43] <Gnea> lilVaratep: got a url that still uses divx?
[21:43] <Gnea> lilVaratep: if you do, I can tell you if it does
[21:43] <lilVaratep> Gnea: Trying to watch videos on veehd.com
[21:43] <bigshum> yeah i've been trying to get hold of xubuntu
[21:43] <bigshum> to no avail
[21:43] <bigshum> I've literally spent all afternoon looking for the right distro to put on this thing
[21:43] <bigshum> I know it can be done
[21:44] <virunga> How can i share files in my lan?
[21:44] <Gnea> lilVaratep: works fine here. I'm on 11.04 with a daily chromium build
[21:44] <bigshum> i found http://www.yellowjug.com/how-to/xubuntu-linux-on-imac-g3/ but he's using 7.04 xubuntu (community driven support?) and I just can't find it
[21:44] <Gnea> lilVaratep: pretty sure it's not divx but flash playing back
[21:44] <virunga> dont say right button, share  :D
[21:45] <bigshum> nobody in xubuntu channel has a clue
[21:45] <bigshum> i went through a debian install earlier and it seemed to like it, but couldn't get the display going
[21:45] <minixvbox> !ppc | bigshum
[21:45] <Gnea> lilVaratep: what version of chromium are you using?
[21:46] <zykotic10> minixvbox: i was surprised to find 11.10 PPC 32&64bit mini ISOs
[21:46] <lilVaratep> Gnea: the newest one. I'm trying to apt-get install the codecs see if that works
[21:47] <Miqi> My whole problem started when I tried to upgrade my 64-bit Vista installation on a hard drive shared with ubuntu 11.04 The upgrade failed, and my hard drive began experiencing problems. To make matters worse, my friend installed a windows boot manager over grub. It's a long story, but I got my computer running 7 in my windows partition but couldn't access the ubuntu one. After many failed attempts even to reinstall ubuntu (which were frustrated by
[21:47] <Miqi> my hard drive being unrecognizeable to live media) I simply wiped the drive to use it as a logical storage drive in my windows partition. Now I can boot into windows through the windows mbr and fully access my hard drive but whenever I boot off of a live cd or usb linux fails to mount the hard drive, saying it has an unrecognized disklabel.
[21:47] <bigshum> yeah I've found the 10.04 xubuntu but the image is 745mb and won't it on cd and won't burn to a dvd
[21:47] <Stormx2> Yo. I get weird zlib errors. PNG images in firefox mess up and don't render properly. Sometimes I get content encoding errors from websites. Sometimes the HTML itself just seems corrupt slightly. Minecraft gives me compression errors (uses gzip), etc. Any ideas?
[21:47] <bigshum> hence going with the ubuntu minimal
[21:47] <bigshum> to try to get it working
[21:47] <Fyodorovna> bigshum, I would put puppy on it and call it a day if it was me.
[21:47] <tjiggi_fo> bigshum, the MAC(powerPC) link on this page: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/ports/releases/10.04/release/
[21:47] <Gnea> lilVaratep: what results from this command: dpkg -l | grep ^ii | grep chromium-browser | awk '{print $3}'
[21:47] <denysonique__> $ apt-get install synaptic
[21:47] <denysonique__> Package synaptic is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[21:47] <denysonique__> How can I install synaptic
[21:48] <zykotic10> !info synaptic
[21:48] <bigshum> anything that will fit on a normal CD? I don't have 800mb ones lying around
[21:48] <denysonique__> this is a debootstrap Ubuntu Oneiric instll
[21:48] <bigshum> in fact i can't remember the last time i saw an 800mb cd
[21:48] <denysonique__> univierse
[21:48] <denysonique__> hmm
[21:48] <denysonique__> ok I will try to add that
[21:48] <Gnea> bigshum: it'll go on a standard cd
[21:49] <lilVaratep> Gnea: 17.0.963.56~r121963-0ubuntu<IP_ADDRESS>
[21:49] <lilVaratep> 17.0.963.56~r121963-0ubuntu<IP_ADDRESS>
[21:49] <Gnea> lilVaratep: this is mine: 18.0.997.0~svn20120105r116462-0ubuntu1~ucd1~natty
[21:49] <lilVaratep> Gnea: so is mine not up to date or what
[21:49] <Gnea> lilVaratep: I'm using the PPA, it works much better than the so-called release
[21:49] <Gnea> !ppa | lilVaratep
[21:49] <Gnea> lilVaratep: go to that site and search for chromium, then use the daily-build
[21:49] <Gnea> lilVaratep: yup
[21:50] <lilVaratep> How would I get divx from this though?
[21:50] <Gnea> lilVaratep: no idea
[21:50] <Gnea> lilVaratep: my guess is you'd download the mp4 and then convert it to .avi using a video conversion program
[21:50] <zykotic10> lilVaratep: divx is not something chromium will play natively, you'd need some plugin to make it work.  can you play divx files on your system?
[21:50] <johanesbourkg> Miqi, i would try gparted, and try fix the disc
[21:51] <craigbass1976> I couldn't live without a taskbar...  I had to install tint.  Anyone know how to make it so that windows on desktop #2 aren't showing up in the bar when I'm on desktop#1?
[21:51] <Gnea> lilVaratep: like ffmpeg or avidemux
[21:51] <parapan> init: unable to spawn plymouth main process - is there a way to solve this ???
[21:51] <johanesbourkg> hello peter
[21:51] <Miqi> johanesbourkg: I've tried that, gparted can't read anything from the disk. It reads it as 32gigs of unformatted empty space.

[21:55] <tomasm-> minixvbox, k, thanks... seems I was missing the dev files
[21:55] <Miqi> Fyodorovna:  I do, but linux can't see it because it can't mount the drive. The closest I got to that was an fdisk command that gave the sizes, locations, and formats of the Windows, Ubuntu, and swap partitions
[21:55] <maxflax> Hi, how do I set my system only to use RAM as storage and never use my HD?
[21:55] <Fyodorovna> Miqi, you would not be monuted to do this.
[21:56] <Fyodorovna> Miqi, you said gparted sees it.
[21:56] <Fyodorovna> you can't mont a empty no partition table disc
[21:57] <Fyodorovna> mount
[21:57] <Oredigger> Hello, Is there anyway to embed Pandora into Ubuntu?
[21:57] <zykotic10> maxflax: your question is a bit unclear.  Do want to run Ubuntu from RAM only, or not use SWAP?
[21:57] <Oredigger> Adobe Air isn't supported anymore :/
[21:57] <grkblood> is there a way to check if the hdmi port is in use?
[21:57] <grkblood> cd /pr
[21:57] <grkblood> oops
[21:57] <Miqi> Fyodorovna: gparted sees the drive, but since it can't be mounted, it can't see any data inside.
[21:58] <Fyodorovna> Miqi, I thought you wiped it.
[21:58] <Fyodorovna> !testdisk
[21:58] <Fyodorovna> Miqi, you want to check out testdisk
[21:58] <Fyodorovna> maybe
[21:59] <Orsb> Ctrl + Alt + F1 does not work to get to tty1. Is there any other way?
[21:59] <johanesbourkg> Fyodorovna, should we check the filesystem type?
[21:59] <johanesbourkg> Fyodorovna, like gpt
[21:59] <minixvbox> !tty
[21:59] <elijah> My windows are doing something weird all the title panes are missing, is there a keyboard binding I pressed to disable them?
[21:59] <Fyodorovna> johanesbourkg, gparted would see a gpt.
[22:00] <elijah> I am on 11.10
[22:00] <Fyodorovna> Miqi, do you have the vista reovery or install disc?
[22:00] <elijah> I don't have the restore, minimize close guttons
[22:00] <Fyodorovna> recovery
[22:00] <elijah> *buttons
[22:00] <johanesbourkg> Fyodorovna, but if it sees the label but not the partition ?
[22:00] <minixvbox> elijah: try doing this in a terminal: compiz --replace
[22:00] <Oredigger> elijah THe same thing happened to me... I had to hard restart!
[22:01] <alphasynaptic> hello, I was wondering if someone can help me run 11.10 in a sort of terminal mode. from the recovery me nu I saw the drop to root option but it opens the fs in read-only mode. i'd like to be able to execute an nvidia .run file and it won't let me execute it with a shell open
[22:01] <johanesbourkg> Fyodorovna, i''l check the available labels to see where windows can reside
[22:01] <Fyodorovna> johanesbourkg, I want o see what gprted says a screen shot would help I think.
[22:01] <Fyodorovna> to*
[22:01] <johanesbourkg> indeed
[22:01] <c0ldfyre> Having trouble with a src compiler. "I have the latest build essentials."
[22:01] <c0ldfyre> http://paste.ubuntu.com/869003/ the link
[22:02] <Oredigger> 11.10 ... the window "snap" feature doesn't always work... it's weird
[22:02] <Doctorly> I recently found a program that lets you choose to boot into an os after you have gotten to your default desktop, its not a vm. Im wondering if anyone knows what it is, my bookmarks were deleted!
[22:02] <zykotic10> elijah: are you using gnome2?  with compiz?
[22:02] <bigshum> :Gnea 745mb will go on a standard cd?
[22:03] <zykotic10> elijah: sorry 11.10 - so no to gnome2 ;)
[22:03] <Doctorly> Its pretty much grub, but after you boot. I cant find it for the life of me
[22:04] <Miqi> Fyodorovna: This was before I reformatted the ubuntu partition
[22:04] <c0ldfyre> Can someone help me with a src compilation error please?
[22:04] <alphasynaptic> Would anyone mind letting me know how I would go about booting into 11.10 in a terminal-only mode that's not read-only?
[22:04] <zykotic10> Doctorly: kvm can boot partitions from inside the OS
[22:04] <c0ldfyre> Here is a link to the print.       http://www.paste.ubuntu.com/869003/
[22:04] <minixvbox> !text | alphasynaptic
[22:04] <Doctorly> Thank you so much!
[22:05] <bigshum> Gnea: 745mb will go on a standard cd?
[22:05] <kkk> kkk
[22:05] <june> hi
[22:06] <minixvbox> !pm | alphasynaptic
[22:06] <Doctorly> Ah, thats a virtual machine though. Im looking for something that lets you access grub, basically, after you have already booted, so that you dont have to access grub every time. I have only honestly seen it once.
[22:06] <zykotic10> Doctorly: kvm can boot partitions from inside the OS
[22:06] <Fyodorovna> Miqi, sounds like a broken partition table, but just a guess, could of been made dynamic as well at some point.
[22:08] <Doctorly> zykotic10 but they are virtual machines, are they not?
[22:08] <c0ldfyre> Can someone help me with a src compilation error please?
[22:08] <c0ldfyre> Here is a link to the print.       http://www.paste.ubuntu.com/869003/
[22:08] <zykotic10> Doctorly: you can point kvm to boot your MBR, just NEVER boot the OS that's running KVM
[22:09] <ikonia> c0ldfyre: what are you trying to build ?
[22:09] <zykotic10> Doctorly: i highly doubt you could boot windows (due to hardware changes)
[22:09] <Miqi> Fyodorovna The odd thing is that when I boot into windows on the disk the drive works perfectly. I can even run disk management, which is where I changed the partition to a logical drive
[22:09] <Gnea> bigshum: a 74 minute cdr should do it: http://www.osta.org/technology/cdqa7.htm
[22:10] <Fyodorovna> Miqi, what partition did you make logical in windows?
[22:10] <alphasynaptic> Ok, so after adding 'text' without the quotes to the kernel line in my default grub entry between ro and quiet it does an audio load thing, then a battery state check, then puts the cursor onto its own line blinking but it won't accept commands.
[22:10] <TillSiebert> Might someone help me with a xrandr problem?
[22:10] <Doctorly> zykotic10: yeah, I am looking for something that reboots into a different os, but still leaves your default os default. I guess I have a lot of searching to do to find it.
[22:11] <Miqi> The one that used to be ubuntu, since I couldn't boot into it.
[22:12] <zykotic10> Doctorly: sorry, perhaps i don't understand.  Should the host distro be running or not?  Do you just want to select a different option in grub and use a command for it?
[22:12] <alphasynaptic> Ok, so after adding 'text' without the quotes to the kernel line in my default grub entry between ro and quiet it does an audio load thing, then a battery state check, then puts the cursor onto its own line blinking but it won't accept commands. Additionally, input is not even going to the screen.
[22:13] <zykotic10> Doctorly: you might want to checkout grub-reboot command
[22:14] <Fyodorovna> Miqi,  you need to learn a lot about what your doing, you have put yourself in this situation by making a series of mistakes which I have yet sen to be itemized for you to get any actual help.
[22:14] <Fyodorovna> seen*
[22:14] <zykotic10> Fyodorovna: using ubuntu might be a first step ;)
[22:14] <Fyodorovna> Miqi, honestly your beyond any help here.
[22:15] <johanesbourkg> ok, it wouldn't happen to be lvm
[22:15] <Fyodorovna> zykotic10, qworked for me. :)
[22:15] <Fyodorovna> worked*
[22:15] <Oer> Miqi, change it back then
[22:15] <elijah> Thanks to whoever told me to run compiz --something, it worked but then my box crashed due to insufficient disk space, I think space was the root cause
[22:16] <Miqi> Would you say then that my best option is to format my hard drive and start over?
[22:16] <Fyodorovna> gotta paper to write see you all on the other side.
[22:16] <capslock286> how can I make my ESP-partition work with Ubuntu? I don
[22:16] <alphasynaptic> Boot into terminal mode? Appending text to kernel line doesn't work.
[22:16] <johanesbourkg> cu
[22:16] <MonkeyDust> elijah  i have sompiz issues, too, what was your question and how was it solved?
[22:16] <zykotic10> alphasynaptic: did you run "sudo update-grub" after making the change?
[22:16] <alphasynaptic> i did the change within grub itself
[22:17] <elijah> spoke to soon, window title bars are gone again and I have 5 GB free now, what was the command again, "compiz --???"
[22:17] <elijah> MonkeyDust: Dunno yet
[22:17] <Doctorly> zykotic10: no, the host distro doesnt run. Its basically the same thing as telling grub to boot 'windows' from the 'linux' desktop. The 'windows' os is booted and thats it
[22:17] <zykotic10> Doctorly: you might want to checkout grub-reboot command
[22:17] <capslock286> How can I make my ESP-partition work with Ubuntu? I have tried to follow the guide in Ubuntu community documentation about creating a UEFI, but it doesn't seem to be compliant with the settings of oneiric or precise, or the new linux kernel as it refers to the "old" one (2.6). How can I most easily make a new partition?
[22:17] <minixvbox> elijah: compiz --replace
[22:17] <elijah> nvm compiz --replace works
[22:18] <capslock286> sorry for the long post!
[22:18] <c0ldfyre> can someone try and compile this and tell me if they get an error?        ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/sourceinstall/sourceinstall-gtk-2.5rc2.tar.gz
[22:19] <TillSiebert> Is there a way to force the computer to use just one of the connected displays and to use it with the right resolution?
[22:19] <elijah> minixvbox: Thanks, it seems to be working but the command is stuck, everything is fine now and I didn't crash but the command is stuck.
[22:19] <johanesbourkg> TillSiebert, through xrandr
[22:20] <minixvbox> elijah: just close the terminal with the command in
[22:20] <capslock286> what's the easiest way to create an ESP-partition?
[22:21] <MonkeyDust> capslock286  you mean ntfs for windows?
[22:21] <TillSiebert> joahnnesbourkg right I have a startup script that shuts down the other display and forces the right resolution to the wanted display, but on each logon the other display is still active and so the wanted display cannot use the whole screen because the other display has a lower resolution :(
[22:22] <alphasynaptic> Need assistance tailoring a grub entry to boot my kernel in text mode. Current entry doesn't load the shell but doesn't take input either.
[22:22] <MonkeyDust> pm
[22:22] <MonkeyDust> !pm
[22:23] <ikonia> c0ldfyre: why are you trying to compile gtk
[22:23] <johanesbourkg> TillSiebert, cvt 1600 1200 60 ;xrandr --newmode "the previous result";xrandr --addmode "1600x1200_60.00" VGA1 sth like that
[22:23] <ikonia> c0ldfyre: gtk is already on your system and an important part of your desktop, it will cause problems if you try to change it
[22:23] <TillSiebert> johanesbourkg  right I have a startup script that shuts down the other display and forces the right resolution to the wanted display, but on each logon the other display is still active and so the wanted display cannot use the whole screen because the other display has a lower resolution :(
[22:23] <ikonia> c0ldfyre: why are you doing this ?
[22:24] <johanesbourkg> TillSiebert, hehe
[22:24] <nsadmin> alphasynaptic, unless you make special arrangements (or boot in single-user mode), the two are unrelated (grub and daemon boot order)
[22:24] <tomvolek> HI , i am trying to make a server use static IP, i have edited the interface file and added the auto eth0
[22:24] <tomvolek> iface eth0 inet static  lines,   now when i try to  restart the networking, it says RTNETLINK answers: File exists
[22:24] <tomvolek> Failed to bring up eth0.
[22:24] <zykotic10> !info libgtksourceview2.0-0 | c0ldfyre
[22:24] <nsadmin> tomvolek, is there another iface eth0?
[22:24] <ActionParsnip> tomvolek: can you pastebin the lines you have added (or retype in a pastebin).
[22:25] <TillSiebert> johanesbourkg that's what I do, but it doesn't shutdown the other display but thinks it has to mirror the output on both so that on the display I want to use I can use only a part in the left up corner.
[22:25] <elijah> compiz jacked again after I ran compiz --replace, had to restart again
[22:25] <nsadmin> or use pastebinit into which you can pip
[22:25] <nsadmin> e
[22:25] <johanesbourkg> TillSiebert, that looks like xinerama
[22:25] <elijah> now shortly after boot the window title bars are gone again
[22:26] <ActionParsnip> nsadmin: may not have network access due to the bad file though ;)
[22:26] <minixvbox> elijah: yeah, compiz is buggy like that
[22:26] <nsadmin> ActionParsnip, ifconfig | pastebinit
[22:26] <ripper_> does anyone know how i can add a unity dock dash type search to cairo dock?
[22:26] <elijah> maybe it has something to do with nvidia settings, because after I boot I go into nvidia settings to enable my second monitor and then move windows to different workspaces
[22:26] <johanesbourkg> TillSiebert, i don't know but if you tryed to disable xinerama or twinview..
[22:26] <TillSiebert> johanesbourkq My defunct notebook screen has 1366x768, and the secondary display I use on my dekstop has 1280x1024.
[22:26] <ripper_> pretty much replacing the apps menu
[22:26] <nsadmin> also cat /etc/network/interfaces | pastebinit
[22:27] <ActionParsnip> nsadmin: if there is no network connectivity, how will the text be put on the pastebin...
[22:27] <elijah> compiz --replace doesn't seem to fix it permanently though, it works and then whole computer crashes
[22:27] <minixvbox> elijah: if you don't get the window borders on boot just add compiz --replace to the startup programs
[22:27] <nsadmin> I'm not convinced you have no net. after all, you're here...
[22:27] <TillSiebert> johanesbourkg how can I do that on a startup script? When I use the GUI it works, but I do not want to reconfigure the display settings every time I logon
[22:27] <alphasynaptic> msadmin: how do i get into a shell with write access to the fs without having the x window server open? quitting the x window server after boot doesn't allow input and neither does modifying the grub entry to  boot text mode
[22:27] <ActionParsnip> nsadmin: you also don't need cat for pastebining files, you can just run:    pastebinit /etc/network/interfaces
[22:27] <tomvolek> ActionParsnip    nsadmin  http://paste.org/46286
[22:28] <tomvolek> jsut saw this thread http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/rtnetlink-answers-file-exists-542525/
[22:28] <elijah> I ran compiz --replace and then killed it with the X in the tile bar before it could crash the system and now it is working
[22:28] <elijah> minixvbox: Where do I do that?
[22:28] <nsadmin> I understand that :) that form of the command being an exceptional case added for additional convenience
[22:28] <johanesbourkg> TillSiebert, xrandr --off ?
[22:28] <minixvbox> elijah: from unity i wouldn't know sorry
[22:29] <ActionParsnip> tomvolek: the network will be .0   not .1
[22:29] <tomvolek> sysadmin ActionParsnip   I am on ubunut 11.10
[22:29] <TillSiebert> johanesbourkg No, this does not work when I use it as a startup script. It only works when I do it manually after logging on.
[22:29] <alphasynaptic> rm -rf *
[22:29] <elijah> minixvbox: k, thanks, I will leave it for now
[22:29] <ActionParsnip> tomvolek: the network address is incorrect
[22:29] <ActionParsnip> !danger | alpha
[22:29] <tomvolek> ActionParsnip  why 1 and not 0 ?
[22:30] <minixvbox> alphasynaptic: don't do that please
[22:30] <tomvolek> you mean in interfaces file ?   let me try
[22:30] <johanesbourkg> TillSiebert, ah ,yes, there is ~.xprofile do it there
[22:30] <ActionParsnip> tomvolek: look at your netmask
[22:30] <nsadmin> alphasynaptic, probably would be a good thing to read man rm
[22:30] <TillSiebert> johanesbourkq well I will try that, thank you very much!!
[22:30] <alphasynaptic> trying to do a simple thing and get no meaningful help, at least i got a response putting that here
[22:30] <johanesbourkg> np
[22:30] <tomvolek> currenlty my  eth0 is using dhcp ...  so i wan to make eth0 as static .. so i need to change the netmask also ?
[22:31] <alphasynaptic> i know what the command does...
[22:31] <mrintegr1ty> ikonia: 19:56 < ikonia> mrintegr1ty: did you read the doucumentation on how to use it ?
[22:31] <ActionParsnip> tomvolek: you also set the network address as the same as the default gateway
[22:31] <minixvbox> alphasynaptic: that sort of attention grabbing will get you kicked quickly
[22:31] <alphasynaptic> might as well run it on my 11.10 box
[22:31] <mrintegr1ty> ikonia: was that meant for me?
[22:31] <elijah> alphasynaptic: No response means nobody knew the answer to your question
[22:31] <PhantomPhreak53> Ok I have been fighting with this all day and can't seem to get it back up and running. Basically when I do apt-get upgrade I get this error: http://pastebin.com/ZBbnx4zE I have tried reinstall php, apt-get -f install, tried removing the packages and nothing seems to work
[22:31] <alphasynaptic> so nobody has figured out a way to boot into a terminal without a shell? really?
[22:32] <alphasynaptic> kind of hard to believe
[22:32] <mrintegr1ty> ikonia: I will disable the built in dnsmasq and use a different dhcp server, turns out you have to restart all your vm's every time you add a new network :E
[22:32] <bigshum> gnea: I'm confused, that article states 74min cd-r can only take 650mb
[22:32] <nsadmin> PhantomPhreak53, this is the whole apache/php thing?
[22:32] <elijah> alphasynaptic: Or they were busy helping someone else
[22:32] <PhantomPhreak53> nsadmin: I am on nginx and php5
[22:32] <ActionParsnip> alphasynaptic: if you want to boot to text mode, add the boot option:   text     is that what you mean?
[22:32] <nsadmin> PhantomPhreak53, and that's what you want?
[22:33] <mrintegr1ty> ikonia: still the issue with default gw though, i think it should be possible to set the gw manually even when using dhcp. in the same way you can set dns resolver manually and still use dhcp
[22:33] <PhantomPhreak53> yeah that is what I want
[22:33] <alphasynaptic> i tried that action, either its failing or im putting it in the wrong spot(between ro and quiet on the kernel line)
[22:33] <nsadmin> ok, and what is going on that you don't want?
[22:33] <nsadmin> PhantomPhreak53 that is
[22:34] <PhantomPhreak53> I can't upgrade any packages and can't get that screen to clear.
[22:34] <ActionParsnip> alphasynaptic: run:  gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub     and add it in the quotes with:   quiet splash   save the new file, close gedit and run:    sudo  update-grub
[22:34] <c0ldfyre> other than build essentials what packages should I download?
[22:34] <PhantomPhreak53> and php isn't currently working
[22:34] <nsadmin> ok, which problem should be handled first?
[22:34] <ActionParsnip> alphasynaptic: if you use TAB, you can autocomplete nicks and the text will highlght
[22:34] <c0ldfyre> If I'm having trouble with compiling?
[22:34] <PhantomPhreak53> nsadmin: php seems to be the problem so php should be fixed first
[22:34] <johanesbourkg> c0ldfyre, you can try gentoo distro
[22:35] <infinity0> can someone edit this page
[22:35] <infinity0> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DashAsBinSh
[22:35] <zykotic10> c0ldfyre: did you notice the !info i sent you?  It appears this is in the default repos.
[22:35] <nsadmin> c0ldfyre, start with build-essential
