[19:44] <Oer> Halexander9000, yes, use sudo gedit  /etc/apt/sources.list

[19:46] <mongy> what version is the latest stable google chrome?  Just comparing what is in the ubuntu repo (chromium)
[19:46] <theadmin> mongy: 17.0.963.56
[19:47] <theadmin> mongy: Ubuntu uses the same Chromium versions as stable Chrome releases if I recall right.
[19:47] <mongy> theadmin: well that's the thing, I think ubuntu might be a bit behind.. lemme check something
[19:48] <skyball> why does the screen flash purple?
[19:48] <LimerickLarry> Question: what part of the ubuntu kernel handles keyboard input?
[19:48] <Halexander9000> Oer: Problem Solved.
[19:49] <Oer> Halexander9000, have fun
[19:49] <theadmin> LimerickLarry: Might be a question for #ubuntu-devel
[19:49] <ikonia> theadmin: #ubuntu-devel does not do support
[19:49] <Halexander9000> Oer: Thanks.
[19:49] <ikonia> LimerickLarry: what's the actual problem you are having
[19:49] <theadmin> ikonia: Yeah but this kind of a question... Only a developer would ask that, no?
[19:50] <ikonia> theadmin: or a user who doesn't know what they are asking
[19:50] <theadmin> ikonia: Heh... indeed xD
[19:50] <ikonia> theadmin: ubuntu-devel is for the development of ubuntu disicussion, eg: packages, versions, etc,
[19:50] <mysticdarkhack> Hey all, can anyone tell me where the logo next to ubuntu main menu applications is located please, and thank you in advacne for your asist.
[19:50] <ssta> LimerickLarry: the same as any other kernel's code
[19:50] <ikonia> LimerickLarry: what's the actual problem / issue you are having
[19:51] <mysticdarkhack> logo image directory
[19:51] <LimerickLarry> ikonia: There appears to be a caps lock delay under Ubuntu.
[19:51] <LimerickLarry> ikonia: and by delay, I mean it looks like caps lock toggles on keyUp rather than keyDown.
[19:51] <ssta> LimerickLarry: not here there isn't
[19:51] <ikonia> LimerickLarry ok - I don't have that issue
[19:51] <LjL> LimerickLarry: not for me, if i keep Caps Lock pressed, it already takes effect...
[19:51] <ikonia> LimerickLarry: are you using X11 ?
[19:52] <ikonia> LimerickLarry: as in a desktop gui ?
[19:52] <mysticdarkhack> anyone?
[19:52] <LimerickLarry> ikonia: i'm not sure
[19:52] <ikonia> !anyone > mysticdarkhack
[19:52] <LimerickLarry> ikonia: yes.
[19:52] <ikonia> LimerickLarry: do you have a gui on your screen ?
[19:52] <Oer> mysticdarkhack, if you point at dash home icon > http://askubuntu.com/questions/68612/how-to-change-the-dash-icon-in-the-unity-launcher
[19:53] <ikonia> LimerickLarry: ok, so, it's more likley your X11 session is not quite setup/working well at the moment rather than the kernel
[19:53] <ikonia> LimerickLarry: in future, if you explain your problem, rather than asking what you think is the problem area, people will be able to help y ou better, eg: you won't waste yours and other peoples time talking about the wrong thing
[19:53] <LimerickLarry> ikonia: I've reproduced this on two different machines, so it's not isolated to me.
[19:53] <ikonia> LimerickLarry: well, 3 people are not having the problem, so it's not everyone either
[19:53] <ikonia> LimerickLarry: what do those machines have in common ?
[19:54] <Bodsda> user... :)
[19:54] <LimerickLarry> ikonia: they both run ubuntu, i'm not sure which version the second one uses.
[19:54]  * benoliver999 is gone: To the shops!

[19:55] <cal_> getting deboostrap read erors when ubuntu server 11.10 tries to install the base. but when i verify the disk from the main menu, says everything is okay..?
[19:56] <Nima> I used the wubi install and installed Ubuntu as an application because the traditional dual boot from a CD let to a black screen. The install was fine, but when I get to the dual boot option, my keyboard (RAZR black widow) is completely unresponsive so it just boots to windows on default.
[19:56] <Nima> Suggestions?
[19:56] <LimerickLarry> ikonia: the one i currently have access to is a thinkpad x200 tablet: http://shop.lenovo.com/us/laptops/thinkpad/x-series-tablet/x200tablet
[19:56] <LimerickLarry> ikonia: still looking for information on it
[19:56] <LimerickLarry> ikonia: the other is a lab machine, i have no idea what's inside it
[19:56] <ikonia> LimerickLarry: ok, so that's something worth doing, check the components and softwaare product versions they are using
[19:57] <nathansuchy> hello
[19:57] <nathansuchy> chating from ubuntu
[19:57] <escott> Nima, you probably need to go into your bios and enable the usb keyboard. also if you only issue with the normal install was !nomodeset I'm not sure installing wubi will fix that
[19:58] <nathansuchy> so cool
[19:58] <nathansuchy> check out my website www.nathanlive.com
[19:58] <nathansuchy> and talk to me on #nathanlive
[19:58] <Bodsda> nathansuchy: This is a support channel, not offtopic chat
[19:58] <nathansuchy> ok sorry
[19:58] <Bodsda> thanks, try #ubuntu-offtopic
[19:58] <nathansuchy> where is an offtopic chat channel
[19:59] <Dr_willis> Dont you hate it when you get somthing working once.. then come back a few hrs later and cant repeate the process..
[19:59] <Nima> escott, Thanks, I'l give it a go and will be back
[20:00] <Dr_willis> Trying to record a section of the desktop with gtk-recordmydesktop, and aparently you have to use jackd to get it to record  the audio. Got it working..  recorded 2 hrs of stuff.. cant get it to do it now. :)
[20:00] <derpladee> hey i have a weird problem
[20:00] <derpladee> i have a file that a program keeps overwriting
[20:00] <derpladee> i want it to stop doing that so i make it root owner and root group
[20:00] <derpladee> and make it read only
[20:01] <Bodsda> you have an enter obsession as well#
[20:01] <derpladee> sorry
[20:02] <derpladee> i have a weird problem, i have a file that a program keeps overwriting. i tried to make the file root owner and root group and read only but the program, even though it doesn't run root level, still deletes the file and writes a new one.
[20:02] <derpladee> anybody know how to prevent a file from being deleted/written by any user other than root?
[20:02] <Dr_willis> derpladee,  what file exactly?
[20:02] <aceman> quit
[20:03] <ssta> derpladee: if the process has write access to the directory the file is in, it will be able to delete it
[20:03] <derpladee> it's a .sol file
[20:03] <theadmin> derpladee: sudo chown root:root filename && sudo chmod 644 filename
[20:04] <derpladee> hmm okay so if i make the director root user and root group, then it shouldn't be able to do anything?
[20:04] <ssta> being allowed to delete a file is a directory permission, NOT a file permission
[20:04] <derpladee> ah
[20:04] <derpladee> okay i'll try that
[20:04] <ssta> since deleting the file is actually writing to the directory, not the file
[20:07] <Oer> derpladee, where did you find this, afaik .sol files are used by flash to save its own cookie (the SharedObjects).
[20:07] <dougl> when ever I am connected to my home net w/vpn my firefox fails to lookup sites... err what should I google for?
[20:08] <Bodsda> dougl: try pinging the domain name, then try pinging the sites IP, if the IP works but not the name, then its a DNS problem

[20:14] <rqde> Greetings folks. How hard would it be to create an ubuntubox with a costumized menu/ui (similar to that of the PSP) that could emulate consolegames and play music/video?  - and be controlled by eg an xbox controler
[20:14] <malkauns> anyone know how to get xdmx working in 11.10?  do i need to disable compiz/unity or something?
[20:16] <Companion> np: Steel Panther - Gold Digging Whore (On album Balls Out) [spotify:track:3sbK54RaiJ3n8uIIvCClYu]
[20:16] <Companion> whoops :s
[20:16] <Companion> mis typed should be in terminal -.-
[20:16] <rqde> Greetings folks. How hard would it be to create an ubuntubox with a costumized menu/ui (similar to that of the PSP) that could emulate consolegames and play music/video and be controlled by eg an xbox controller? - What would I have to look into?

[20:17] <cool_beans> I want an easy-to-install minimal linux system that is secure. I don't want to have to struggle to find out why it can't play *.avi. Am I lazy?
[20:17] <bazhang> Companion, dont do that
[20:17] <Companion> bazhang, true that /np was a wrong coneole ;p
[20:18] <Bodsda> rqde: 'ish - hardest part will be the UI, as long as the emulator already exists
[20:18] <malkauns> cool_beans, yes
[20:18] <cesar0> cool_beans yep your lazy try lubuntu
[20:18] <ssta> cool_beans: they tend to be mutually exclusive things.  Minimal tends to imply less in the way of "easy"
[20:18] <pangolin> Companion: Don't do the !next thing. it is rude.
[20:18] <Companion> pangolin, habbit
[20:18] <pangolin> Companion: break it. :)
[20:18] <Companion> cool_beans, try mplayer
[20:18] <cool_beans> will do
[20:18] <bazhang> Companion, the advice was not useful. please be helpful if you wish to help
[20:19] <Companion> np: Linkin Park - Breaking The Habit (On album Meteora) [spotify:track:4HcDu9IGRCvSTJE4yW5Ugv]
[20:19] <Companion> broke it :)
[20:19] <cool_beans> Right now, I've given up and installing Ubuntu again (the standard version).
[20:19] <Companion> pangolin, thats rude too..
[20:19] <cool_beans> I'll just spend time uninstalling the apps I don't want.
[20:19] <bazhang> Companion, no now playing here
[20:19] <pangolin> that was the only warning you will be getting. Please read the guidelines
[20:19] <Companion> bazhang, alright
[20:19] <Bodsda> cool_beans: heh, you'll never get it minimal enough that way :)
[20:19] <lusers> cool_beans: You're doing it wrong if you have to uninstall stuffs.
[20:20] <cool_beans> nooo
[20:20] <okum> is there anyone here familiar with using gnome classic in ubuntu 11.10?
[20:20] <cool_beans> lusers, Bodsda: I really tried setting up a minimal system from the mini iso
[20:20] <theadmin> okum: You can't really do that. You can use the Fallback though
[20:21] <cool_beans> I got most of the things working pretty well, but it was a bit long
[20:21] <cool_beans> and then I got sick and tired of just spending time making things work
[20:21] <cool_beans> I like computers and all, but I only have one life :/
[20:21] <Companion> cool_beans, what your looking for exactly?
[20:22] <cool_beans> A pat on the back, I think.
[20:22] <Bodsda> cool_beans: try crunchbang linux
[20:22] <Bodsda> cool_beans: well done for trying
[20:22] <cool_beans> let me search that up
[20:22] <trism> okum: just ask your question
[20:22] <Companion> cool_beans, you're looking for a light weight linux distribution for movies and stuff?
[20:22] <induz> how can I connect/network my Ubuntu Machine with a Xp machine over the home network using a wireless router in a workgroup[no domain]
[20:22] <bazhang> Bodsda, lets keep to ubuntu supported derivatives please
[20:22] <oCean> cool_beans: #ubuntu-offtopic is for chat, this channel is for ubuntu support topics only
[20:22] <messn> join #mint
[20:23] <cool_beans> oCean: Sorry, I was getting ignored on there - but yeah, thanks guys :)
[20:23] <induz> I have samba installed on Ubuntu machine and Xp machine is in a named workgroup
[20:23] <Bodsda> bazhang: I was making a suggestion for a lightweight linux distro, which was in direct response to a question. Crunchbang is a derivitive, just not supported
[20:23] <jon23d> cyanogenmod
[20:23] <bazhang> Bodsda, lubuntu is supported
[20:23] <Bodsda> bazhang: only just :)
[20:23] <induz> how can i change workgroup name of my Ubuntu machine
[20:24] <induz> I want to acess ubuntu machine from Xp machine
[20:24] <induz> Xp PC is in a workgroup
[20:24] <llutz> induz: set "workgroup = foo" in your smb.conf
[20:24] <ssta> induz: edit /etc/samba/smb.conf
[20:25] <maujhsn> dr_willis
[20:25] <induz> how can i do thst thats the q
[20:25] <m0n0> hey
[20:25] <Ebron> I want to know what version of some software I get before I run "apt-get install whatever" - Is there an easy way to do that?
[20:25] <ssta> gksu gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf
[20:26] <induz> llutz, how
[20:26] <Bodsda> Ebron: try apt-cache show packagename
[20:26] <induz> ssta, how
[20:26] <ssta> induz: in a terminal
[20:26] <llutz> induz: ssta already told you
[20:27] <Ebron> Thank you Bodsda
[20:27] <Bodsda> your welcome
[20:27] <induz> llutz, how can I edit config file
[20:27] <llutz> induz: ssta already told you
[20:27] <ssta> induz: gksu gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf
[20:28] <Ebron> Bodsda: Hmm.. I get a ubuntu-specific version for the package, not the software itself?
[20:28] <ssta> (since I presume you want want to mess around with nano/vi/emacs...)
[20:28] <Bodsda> Ebron: what package are we talking about?
[20:28] <Ebron> Bodsda: wordpress
[20:28] <maujhsn> Does anybody know a fdisk command that will force a specified  mount point like /dev/sdx?
[20:29] <induz> ssta, that takes me to a text file
[20:29] <Ebron> Bodsda: Although I would like a permanent easy way to do this for upcoming software (This is not the first time the problem has presented itself)
[20:29] <llutz> maujhsn: your question makes no sense. /dev/xxx are device-files, fdisk a partitioning tool. so what do you want to know?
[20:29] <darrenlooby> Anyone any good with firewalls?
[20:29] <induz> ssta, llutz please be descriptive as i am still learning
[20:29] <ssta> induz: yes, config files are generally text files
[20:29] <Ebron> I don't like to have to google my eyes out every time I want to know what I get
[20:30] <Bodsda> Ebron: I'm confused, you will be getting the same thing as if you downloaded the source code from them directly and built it yourse;f
[20:30] <induz> ssta, its a sample file
[20:30] <ssta> induz: it has lots of commengts in it to tell you how it works.  It's the real live file though
[20:31] <john_doe_jr1> You u installed Google Chromium on Ubuntu where are the chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra or chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-nonfree files stored on your computer?
[20:31] <phpn00b> i love ubuntu but it is a bit unstab;e here on my laptop
[20:31] <maujhsn> llutz I have a usb drive that shows a mount point at /cdrom when I i would like it to read /dev/sdb...follow me so far?
[20:31] <Bodsda> Ebron: if you search for the package through the software center, it will probably give you a more sensible description of the package
[20:31] <escott> maujhsn, device enumerate is controlled by the kernel, but even the kernel can't ensure it is consistent. use UUIDs
[20:31] <ssta> Ebron: current version of wordpress in 11.10 is: Version: 3.0.5+dfsg-1ubuntu1  (ignore everything except the 3.0.5, which is the version of WP it is)
[20:31] <zej9> is there anyone that can help me with a live boot?
[20:32] <Naka> Shit. Someone got my nick.
[20:32] <maujhsn> escott OK
[20:32] <Bodsda> Naka: watch your language please
[20:32] <Nakakumuro> Apologies.
[20:32] <induz> ssta, its not helpful
[20:33] <darrenlooby> I need some help with UFW - I want to limit access to my server to IPs beginning with 10.* - and a short list of IPs
[20:33] <induz> ssta, its informative but beyond my understanding
[20:33] <ssta> induz: umm, I don't know how I can help more.  What exactly don't you understand?
[20:33] <zej9> I'm having a big problem booting on my other computer with a live cd, can anyone help me out?
[20:33] <ssta> induz: look for the line that says: workgroup =
[20:33] <maujhsn> escott I have another question have you ever used ddrescue on a usb drive?
[20:33] <induz> ssta, i have installed samba on my Ubuntu...I want to access my Buntu PC from a XP PC
[20:33] <ssta> change that it says to be the workgroup you want to be in
[20:34] <aguitel> zej9, what big
[20:34] <escott> maujhsn, no
[20:34] <maujhsn> Does anybody have experience using ddrescue?
[20:34] <ssta> induz: eg: workgroup = WORKGROUP
[20:34] <maujhsn> escott OK
[20:35] <ssta> (can anyone else find a different way to explain it that he might be more able to understand?)
[20:35] <zej9> I boot up my computer, the mbr has been screwed up by windows so I am trying to fix it with a linux install. The disk begins to boot gets to the screen where it has the keyboard logo at the bottom of the screen, then it goes black and a ton of code streams down the screen then it just stops
[20:36] <induz> ssta, ok i changed Workgroup= myWorkgroup..now what should i do??
[20:36] <ssta> induz: restart samba
[20:36] <nRy> anybody know where it might be possible to download a beta version of "Ubuntu for Android?"
[20:37] <okum> trism: looking for a black font clock instead of white font and i don't know how to enable compizconfig features.
[20:37] <escott> zej9, so thats a kernel panic. can you identify the cause of the panic. any distinctive words in the panice messages?
[20:37] <induz> ssta, ok restarting samba
[20:37] <okum> trism: (clock in the panel)
[20:37] <Oer> nRy maybe in #Ubuntu-phone ?
[20:37] <hex20dec> Hi everyone, I'm having a problem with my mail, when I send messages, the return-path header is set to "Return-Path<EMAIL_ADDRESS>How do I change the 'www-data' to 'admin'?  I even added the return-path header to my php script but seems it isn't the problem. Anyone know what the problem is?
[20:37] <ssta> induz: because of the way smb/cifs resolution works, you may need to wait a couple of minutes for it to show up on windows...
[20:37] <zej9> x86_64_start_kernel +0xcd/0xdc is the last line
[20:38] <escott> zej9, the last 40-50 lines are all stack trace and arent helpful. we need what is above that
[20:38] <induz> ssta, now i see on my Xp PC
[20:38] <zej9> ok how do I scroll up then
[20:38] <ssta> induz: awesome
[20:39] <induz> ssta, thanks
[20:39] <ssta> induz: you're welcome
[20:39] <induz> ssta, can I remote desktop connect to my Ubuntu since they r in a network/workgroup
[20:39] <induz> ssta, how Can i do that
[20:39] <popey> nRy: its not available yet
[20:40] <ssta> induz: not really.  You can VNC though (which is basically the same thing)
[20:40] <ssta> does ubottu have a factoid for vnc?
[20:40] <ssta> !vnc
[20:41] <Ady> know how to open port command?
[20:41] <ssta> there you go induz
[20:41] <om26er_> popey, will it be available to download in some form?
[20:41] <popey> om26er_: I expect so, at some point
[20:42] <om26er_> okay ;)
[20:43] <zej9> escott how do I find the top line?
[20:44] <escott> zej9, scrolllock is supposed to be able to slow the output. and you could see if ctrl-alt-f1 will get you to a login. it probably wont following a panic. but mostly its just watching
[20:45] <ichbinder> the lagging errors are back again... :( (salmiak)
[20:45] <Ady> i am behaind firewall , how can i open port?
[20:47] <zej9> Ok I managed to get to the advance install options before it could move forward by hitting space as soon as it started to load the disk
[20:47] <induz> how can I share a folder on Ubuntu PC to a XP PC via samba

, can u past ur conkyrc?
[21:04] <Effigy> sure, give me a sec.
[21:06] <bobbyrward> Can anyone point me to some info on requesting a backport?  Specifically to get a bug fix in oneiric
[21:06] <Effigy> hum... in /usr/bin I only have conky. not conkyrc
[21:06] <urfr332gO> Effigy, if you have conky the conkyrc is in home
[21:07] <Effigy> well. yeah it's ther. but it's blank....
[21:07] <Effigy> what now? spt-get purge conky?
[21:08] <ribhoo> try to get any conky conf file and run conky again
[21:08] <tbrown2012> I was wondering if there was a way that I can use ubuntu on my virtual machine if I could play War of world craft on it if so How can I do it and if so how the performace going to be good or bad
[21:09] <bobbyrward> tbrown2012:  It runs well through wine I believe
[21:09] <tbrown2012> I know how to load Ubuntu on the virutal machine but I just wanted to know if there was a way that I can run world of warcraft on it and if so how it would be and the perfomrace would be on it
[21:09] <Effigy> alright. I'll try
[21:09] <tbrown2012> I hope so

[21:12] <Aster> Hi, how do I rename a file in terminal?
[21:13] <theadmin> Aster: mv source dest
[21:13] <bobbyrward> Can anyone tell me how to go about requesting a backport?  I can't find `requestbackport` even using dpkg -S
[21:13] <Aster> theadmin isn't that move?
[21:13] <theadmin> Aster: Rename, move, same thing ;)
[21:13] <Aster> xD
[21:13] <Effigy> Thanks for the help. I'll play around with conky config and get back later. Again, Thanks.
[21:13] <Aster> Do I add file extensions to the destination?
[21:13] <theadmin> Aster: Yeah
[21:14] <Plish> leave
[21:14] <greenit> does any1 know a good slideshow-creation-software for ubuntu? i tried openshot, but i want that everything works fine, like with the windows moviemaker...
[21:14] <Aster> Okay, thanks, theadmin.
[21:17] <birdman007> does anybody know when the ati drivers will work on ubuntu since they are all messed up on 11.10
[21:17] <Jordan_U> greenit: Have you tried PiTiVi?
[21:18] <greenit> Jordan_U, nope.... thx for the tip ;)
[21:19] <Jordan_U> greenit: You're welcome :)
[21:20] <bigmahatma> hello. can anyone read me?
[21:21] <konam> hi guys
[21:21] <konam> could somebody tell me of a good back up utility that lets you do incremental backups?
[21:21] <bigmahatma> konam: hi
[21:22] <bigmahatma> svn + cron?
[21:22] <bazhang> konam, rsync ?
[21:22] <konam> i tried 'back in time' but it just makes full snapshots
[21:22] <klmmlk> bon, aller, dodo.
[21:24] <TUX11> how do i enable 3d acceleration in ubuntu 10.4
[21:28] <darrenlooby> How do I use UFW to block all put IPs starting with 10.*
[21:28] <darrenlooby> Is it possible?
[21:28] <Vampire1408> do it as you said? IP field: 10.* ?
[21:29] <TomV-415> I've been working all morning trying to figure out why my unbuntu 11.10 install is failing.. When I boot, I get "error:out of disk" and grub rescue prompt.  Disk as 320gb free..
[21:29] <Somelauw> Believe it or not, but I managed to actually upgrade.
[21:29] <TomV-415> I have run boot-repair, but did not resolve it.
[21:29] <Somelauw> And now I see unity for the first time.
[21:29] <TUX11> how do i enable 3d acceleration in ubuntu 10.4
[21:29] <darrenlooby> Vampire1408, I'm wanting confirmation that that is the correct way of doing it, so I don't break it
[21:29] <pentel> hello ! Has anybody useing Jsymphonic ?
[21:29] <TomV-415> Here's the info from boot-repair.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/858407/
[21:30] <pentel> i've got problem with the program
[21:30] <|bird|> Hi peoples. What's the command to show what kernel version I'm using?
[21:30] <Vampire1408> my install ran fine, just format HDD with gparted to make it empty
[21:30] <trism> bobbyrward: doesn't look like requestbackport was added until the precise version of ubuntu-dev-tools, you may be able to just using the version from bzr: bzr branch lp:ubuntu-dev-tools;
[21:30] <jiohdi> deja-dup is open, first time backup... back up now is grayed out... what is the problem?
[21:30] <guntbert> |bird|: uname -r
[21:30] <TomV-415> |bird|: uname -r
[21:30] <Vampire1408> bird go to system settings at top right
[21:30] <pentel> exit
[21:30] <|bird|> guntbert: thanks
[21:30] <Vampire1408> and ... or do that
[21:31] <Vampire1408> just lag jiohdi
[21:31] <jiohdi> Vampire1408, lag of what?
[21:31] <TUX11> server lag
[21:31] <TomV-415> |bird|: you can also do uname -a for the full deal.
[21:31] <jiohdi> TUX11, I am trying to do a local back up to a different partition
[21:32] <|bird|> TomV-415: Cool, thanks
[21:32] <TUX11> urrg i cant play any games without 3d acceleration :(
[21:33] <zykotick9> TUX11: what graphics card?  "lspci | grep -i vga" from terminal if you aren't sure.
[21:33] <rcmaehl> I have a stuck pixel on a tv. What packages do I need to fix that pixel?
[21:33] <TUX11> came back as VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT200 [GeForce GTX 260]
[21:34] <TomV-415> I'm at the grub rescue> prompt, but can't get past that.
[21:35] <TUX11> now ive installed nvidia drivers but i still get the error "No 3d acceleration detected"
[21:35] <TomV-415> Seems like it may be an fstab thing..
[21:35] <rcmaehl> TomV-415: nope it's a grub thing
[21:36] <TomV-415> Long time ago on this same box, similar problem was resolved by editing the fstab file, I think.. using IDs or something.
[21:36] <Busigast> Hello everyone :D can someone hlp me with some empathy stuff ?
[21:36] <sm_> is anyone aware of how to make sure networking comes up on boot with 11.04
[21:36] <TomV-415> rcmaehl: out-of-disk.  is a grub thing?  Hm.. next steps?
[21:37] <sm_> my settings all appear to be correct but network must be manually brought up on boot
[21:37] <rcmaehl> sm_: define manually
[21:37] <rcmaehl> and TomV-415 hold on
[21:37] <urfr332gO> TomV-415, what OS's do you have?
[21:37] <TomV-415> rcmaehl: this is a box I'm happy to rebuild, not trying to preserve anything.
[21:37] <sm_> rcmaehl: ifconfig
[21:37] <TomV-415> urfr332gO: Nothing but ubuntu now, was a dual boot box previously.
[21:37] <|bird|> is there a gui to build a kernel?
[21:38] <vickey_fff> http://housewifexxx.tumblr.com/
[21:38] <urfr332gO> TomV-415, you can chroot in and reload grub to the mbr. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#ChRoot
[21:38] <|bird|> *custom kernel
[21:38] <guntbert> vickey_fff: don't paste random links here
[21:38] <TomV-415> urfr332gO: sounds like a good place to start. thanks!
[21:38] <sm_> rcmaehl: i was looking to find if rc scripts are enabled disabled but haven't seen it yet in docs
[21:39] <xangua> !kernel | |bird|
[21:39] <urfr332gO> TomV-415, no problem right above it is a srtaight reload with a cd equal to the install that works quite well without the chroot.
[21:40] <rcmaehl> sm_: try 'sudo apt-get install bum' and then launching bum as it easily allows you to see what rc scripts are enabled/disabled
[21:40] <|bird|> xangua: kk thanks
[21:41] <sm_> rcmaehl: thanks, i'm kind of suprised there isn't something like this by default
[21:41] <rcmaehl> sm_: *shrugs* it's useful but if you screw around with it too much you can screw up your pc very badly. Might be why it's not with ubuntu by default
[21:41] <TomV-415> urfr332gO: Yeah, looks like a good path.  I'm loading liveCD now..  (Unfortunately LiveCD sucks a bit cause it does not load the Nvida driver..weird screen rendering., but it works)
[21:42] <urfr332gO> TomV-415, you can use nomodeset from the f6 menu.
[21:42] <sm_> rcmaehl: do you know of anything similar to bum for command line, this is a server, no gui
[21:42] <urfr332gO> !nomodeset | TomV-415
[21:42] <rcmaehl> sm_: hold on a second
[21:43] <bobbyrward> Can anyone tell me how to go about requesting a backport?  I can't find `requestbackport` even using dpkg -S
[21:43] <velko> sm_, the ethernet cards specified in /etc/network/interfaces are automatically brought up on system start. is your card listed there? btw if you use network-manager the interface shall not be in the file. because nm will skip all cards specified there
[21:44] <urfr332gO> TomV-415, make the resolution default big though, no gallses needed. lol
[21:44] <urfr332gO> glasses*
[21:44] <sm_> velko: my cards are listed in /etc/network/intefaces ( both ) neither comes up. There is no nm on this machine, it runs server
[21:44] <rcmaehl> sm_: this may help http://www.debianadmin.com/debian-and-ubuntu-linux-run-levels.html also I'll be back in a bit
[21:44] <sm_> rcmaehl: thaks
[21:44] <sm_> thanks*
[21:45] <Starcalc> After doing the last "do-release-upgrade" to the current version, my backuppc-Webinterface errors to "Error: Wrong user: my userid is 33, instead of 112(backuppc)". I did not have this error before the upgrade. Did the apache2.conf change? Or is there another idea? I don't want to run the whole apache2 on the requested user "backuppc", as www-data is great and used for different directories.#
[21:46] <Starcalc> After doing the last "do-release-upgrade" to the current version (oneiric/11.10), my backuppc-Webinterface errors to "Error: Wrong user: my userid is 33, instead of 112(backuppc)". I did not have this error before the upgrade. Did the apache2.conf change? Or is there another idea? I don't want to run the whole apache2 on the requested user "backuppc", as www-data is great and used for different directories.#
[21:47] <TomV-415> urfr332gO: Thanks that nomodeset was a big help!  Much better than default.
[21:47] <velko> sm_, the script /etc/init.d/networking is responsible for bringing them up. a symbolic link to this file shall exist in /etc/rc2.d/ (if you boot in init level 2). is it there?
[21:47] <urfr332gO> TomV-415, it is a cool trick. :)
[21:48] <urfr332gO> bobbyrward, you would untick backports in the softwrae sources.list or tick it on in softwrae sources.
[21:49] <Starcalc> After doing the last "do-release-upgrade" to the current version (oneiric/11.10), my backuppc-Webinterface errors to "Error: Wrong user: my userid is 33, instead of 112(backuppc)".

[21:49] <sm_> velko: no, not there, what is the full name of the symlink ?
[21:49] <bobbyrward> urfr332gO: to _request_ a backport?
[21:50] <jiohdi> is there a verision of remastersys for oneric?
[21:50] <urfr332gO> bobbyrward, I don't know the definition of request one there are already access to backports in the list mentioned.
[21:51] <bobbyrward> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBackports#Requesting_a_Backport
[21:51] <bazhang> jiohdi, not to my knowledge
[21:51] <velko> sm_, the file name shall start with "S" (for start), a number (for the start sequence of scripts) and the name. only the S is mandatory. the other stuff you can choose freely. just for a test do: /etc/init.d/networking restart (and see if both interfaces are brought up)
[21:51] <trism> bobbyrward: doesn't look like requestbackport was added until the precise version of ubuntu-dev-tools, you may be able to just using the version from bzr: bzr branch lp:ubuntu-dev-tools; *repost*
[21:51] <Tunix2> I just did an "sudo apt-get upgrade" and now when I click on icons like my terminal emulator I get this: http://i.imgur.com/TBgZc.png what happened and how can I correct this?
[21:51] <trism> bobbyrward: *probably should have fixed the typo from last time*
[21:51] <bobbyrward> trism: thanks
[21:52] <velko> sm_, basically you have to choose the number so that the networking is up and running before any service that may need it. for example if ssh is started with number 04 you have to start the networking with 03 or lower
[21:53] <sm_> velko: restarting works via init.d, will create a symlink, thanks for your help :)
[21:54] <Tunix2> Anyone get this issue after upgrading??
[21:57] <bastidrazor> Tunix2: have you picked one?
[21:57] <Starcalc> After doing the last "do-release-upgrade" to the current version (oneiric/11.10), my backuppc-Webinterface errors to "Error: Wrong user: my userid is 33, instead of 112(backuppc)".

I don't want to run the whole apache2 on the requested user "backuppc", as www-data is great and used for different directories.
[21:57] <Tunix2> bastidrazor: Picked one what?
[21:58] <bastidrazor> Tunix2: what the screenshot you posted shows.
[21:59] <Tunix2> bastidrazor: if you click it then it only says "other" and if you click that then it opens up a file borwser window for you to go hunt down the application I assume
[22:04] <Iulia> .
[22:04] <Iulia> Hello
[22:04] <Somelauw> If I install ubuntu10.11, will I still be able to use the classical gnome interface?
[22:05] <urfr332gO> Somelauw, do you mean 10.10?
[22:05] <Somelauw> No, 11.10
[22:05] <Iulia> One question please...Is anyone having problems with videos in 11.10 ? I am unable to view any videos, in mozilla or chrome or from a folder , in any video player. It happens just after an upgrade
[22:05] <bazhang> !notunity | Somelauw
[22:05] <Iulia> I have 11.10  64 bits version
[22:05] <Somelauw> okay, thanks
[22:06] <urfr332gO> Somelauw, you can use the fallback somewhat similiar to gnom2 but not the same by installing the gnome-shell which adds gnome 3
[22:06] <bazhang> Iulia, flash videos or what
[22:06] <Somelauw> gnome3 is fine, I think.
[22:07] <blud> when I turn on my computer it just says "Checking for unattended updates" (or upgrades, I forget) and then is stuck on that forever
[22:07] <urfr332gO> Somelauw, I have switched to it lately myself
[22:07] <Ademan> is there a way on 10.04 to see which processes are draining my laptop battery the most?
[22:08] <Iulia> I thing so, I removed and re-installed flash plugin, gstreamer, restricted extras....but still nothing
[22:08] <acidrain> Ademan: which ever process uses most resources uses most battery
[22:08] <bazhang> Iulia, what video? flash?
[22:08] <urfr332gO> Iulia, the restricted extras covers the other two mentioned.
[22:08] <Somelauw> Ademan: I think if they use more cpu to use more battery power. So any task manager.
[22:09] <Iulia> flash
[22:09] <Iulia> for example youtube is all dead
[22:09] <rooty> hi roomies
[22:09] <Iulia> and tried to play an avi from the pc and nothing
[22:10] <acidrain> Iulia: what is happening exactlly? no videos will play at all?
[22:10] <Iulia> no, no video
[22:10] <Iulia> and the thing is that happened just after an upgrade
[22:10] <acidrain> hmmm
[22:10] <acidrain> will music play?
[22:10] <rooty> Iulia - try vlc media player. ?
[22:10] <Iulia> not even video : like an avi on VLC or totem
[22:11] <acidrain> Iulia: will music play?
[22:11] <Iulia> no
[22:12] <AcidRain> Iulia: do you get any type of error at all?
[22:12] <Iulia> music the only one wich opens is mp3
[22:12] <Iulia> no, no error at all
[22:13] <AcidRain> Iulia: did you do a distro upgrade? or just packages?
[22:13] <blud> when i turn on my computer, i can't even get into the desktop, it just has a black screen and says "checking for unattended updates"... it's screwed...  what do I do?
[22:13] <Iulia> just packages
[22:13] <urfr332gO> Ademan, opensource also does not get the code from battery manufactures so it is hit and miss in this area in general.
[22:14] <AcidRain> Iulia: and how long ago did you do this upgradE?
[22:14] <urfr332gO> Ademan, it will be a while before we get the same usage times as the major providers like apple or ms.
[22:15] <Iulia> it was this afternoon
[22:15]  * P1rate says hi
[22:15] <urfr332gO> blud, can you try try the recovery kernel?
[22:15] <Iulia> and when I turned on the pc now I realized videos are not working
[22:15] <Iulia> hello Pirate
[22:15] <blud> urfr332gO: maybe, how do i do that?
[22:16] <urfr332gO> blud, in the grub menu which you may need to get to with holding down the shift at powering on are kernel sets the second one of each is the recovery.
[22:16] <P1rate> chipotle: harvard xm looks good
[22:17] <chipotle> P1rate: ?
[22:17] <bastidrazor> urfr332gO: its left control, shift is grub. grub2 is ctrl
[22:17] <urfr332gO> !recovery
[22:17] <AcidRain> Iulia: im not sure, but i think there is a way for ubuntu to remove the previously installed packages and revert back to the ones you had before
[22:17] <Ademan> urfr332gO: well it's already supported in android so I assumed the stats are there in the kernel, unless that's one of the places where android's kernel diverges from mainline
[22:18] <Iulia> yes, that is what I would like and have to do to fix this
[22:18] <urfr332gO> bastidrazor, depends on the release I believe, which we don't know here.
[22:18] <Iulia> the issue is I don't know how either
[22:18] <urfr332gO> Ademan, android is not ubuntu
[22:18] <bobbyrward> trism: The requestbackport in launchpad gives a 400 bad request error when you use it so again I have no idea how to request a backport
, what version did u have and what version do u have now?
[22:19] <Iulia> I had and have Ubuntu 11.10 64 bits
[22:19] <Ademan> urfr332gO: android shares the VAST majority of its kernel with ubuntu, support for this would be in the kernel
[22:19] <blud> urfr332gO: can i do that "Rescue a broken system" with Lubuntu 11.10 too? Cuz I'm using ubuntu not lubuntu (but i would be on here for many hours before getting any help on the lubuntu channel)
[22:19] <urfr332gO> Ademan, cool since you know so much why are you asking. :)
[22:19] <blud> urfr332gO: er, typo, Im using Lubuntu, not ubuntu
[22:20] <P1rate> lubuntu probably wont be a problem since they will probably be similar
[22:20] <zykotick9> Ademan: android's kernel is separate from main linux kernel (android's changes aren't generally accepted into mainline kernel) - thus they aren't really shared...
[22:20] <urfr332gO> blud, lubuntu and ubuntu are only differnt by the desktop, using the recovery to get in is the same.
[22:20] <blud> urfr332gO: oh so when I do "rescue a broken system" that isn't going to fix anything, it will jsut get me into a command prompt or something so that I can fix things right?
[22:21] <Ademan> zykotick9: I guess shared was the wrong term, but my intention was to illustrate that the code bases of the kernels are vastly similar
[22:21] <urfr332gO> blud, several option even getting to logged in to fix it from the desktop.
[22:21] <zykotick9> Ademan: gnu/linux and android/linux are miles apart (yes, the "kernel" is similar, but that's kinda a small piece in some ways)
[22:22] <AcidRain> Iulia: does your comp act like its trying to play it? is it a solid black screen where the video is?
[22:22] <blud> urfr332gO: the only thing is, i have no idea whats wrong with it, so once i get in, i dont know what to do? Any tips on that?
[22:22] <Ademan> zykotick9: but I was specifically referring to the kernel
[22:22] <AcidRain> Iulia: give me deep details on what is happening
[22:22] <Iulia> yes...and one one of those small icons with the error , like for example when you create a shortcut on the desktop with no pic
[22:22] <urfr332gO> blud, I have only used recovery sparsely, it is abit different depending on the release you running but all get you to a desktop if you can get there.
[22:22] <P1rate> zykotick9: i got your point but you dont call kernel a "small" piece
[22:23] <Iulia> also, gets blocked some moments and you can only move mouse and you have to restart
[22:23] <Iulia> also happens since the upgrade
[22:23] <P1rate> true
[22:23] <P1rate> some updates messed up mouses
[22:23] <P1rate> and touchpads
[22:23] <blud> urfr332gO: yeah but I mean, once i get there, what am i supposed to do to fix my problem?
[22:23] <kieppie1> ok - I'm sure this channel's been flooded with this request, but where can I download Ubuntu-for-Android so that I can run it on my Nexus Prime?
[22:23] <P1rate> my touchpad got messed up
[22:24] <CFHowlett> kieppie1   @ubuntu-phone
[22:24] <urfr332gO> blud, sounds like I'm guessing here a interrupted update, get to the desktop if you can so you have a terminal then check with the channel really.
[22:24] <[deXter]> kieppie1, You can't download the official version yet. But there are other implementations you may be interested in.
[22:24] <kieppie1> ok? what? where?
[22:24] <blud> urfr332gO: ok cool
[22:24] <[deXter]> kieppie1, Like this one: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.zpwebsites.ubuntuinstall
[22:24] <P1rate> ubuntu repos are kinda lame
[22:25] <zykotick9> kieppie1: there is an #ubuntu-phone channel
[22:25] <P1rate> updates via UI messed up a lot of things
[22:25] <urfr332gO> blud, having cli access will help others help you really, the real geeks not a poser like me. :)
[22:25] <kieppie1> niiiice! thanks :)
[22:26] <brian1992> is there a way to get pemiant root acess on my user account?
[22:26] <foxxtrot> Your user account should be a sudoer, but it would be an awful idea to run as root all the time
[22:26] <AcidRain> Iulia: sorry, i cant help you. and i cant find anything on google for you. i would say its a gfx card problem. but... you said no sound as well. so that kinda rules that out. unless its both, yet mp3s will still play. must be a software issue.  the worse case senario is to backup all your important files and reformat
[22:27] <Iulia> Thanks acid, will give some tries before that
[22:27] <Iulia> thanks for the help and time ;)
[22:27] <AcidRain> no need to thank, didnt get you anywhere lol
[22:27] <crackerjackz> what command do i use to figure out what version of ubuntu is installed?
[22:28] <Iulia> hehe but you tried
[22:28] <meganerd> crackerjackz: cat /etc/issue
[22:28] <CFHowlett> crackerjackz   lsb_release -a
[22:28] <crackerjackz> i thought uname -a would tell but that only brings up kernel version
[22:28] <brian1992> well im an experianced user with many other operateing systems and i grow tired of loging out and back in to root to use the root FS
[22:28] <crackerjackz> meganerd, CFHowlett ty
[22:28] <TomV-415> urfr332gO: Just went through the steps you suggested (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#ChRoot ) no luck.  also tried the one before it, and the one after it (purge and reinstall grub)  Still when I mount without liveCD, I get error: out of disk.
[22:29] <meganerd> brian1992: use sudo, there should never bee a need to log in as root
[22:29] <CFHowlett> brian1992   su rootuser, su again to "root", exit
[22:29] <P1rate_> brian1992: what other systems do you mean?
[22:29] <Iulia> this is how it looks when it failes opening video
[22:29] <Iulia> http://ubuntuone.com/4rh0LLKf4YIDRUZeSde9hE
[22:29] <meganerd> brian1992: this is a bad idea on any OS, not just linux
[22:30] <P1rate_> meganerd:whats bad being root all time?
[22:30] <brian1992> other linux, every versoin of windows, mack os, debian etc
[22:30] <bastidrazor> brian1992: sudo -i
[22:30] <gmachine_24> so has this turned into a chat room now?
[22:30] <blud2> urfr332gO: i'm not seeing a repair option when i boot to the Lubuntu cd. Am i just not seeing it or should i boot a Ubuntu cd instead?
[22:30] <urfr332gO> TomV-415, is the setup a ide, with a slave, rather then a sata, just guessing here.
[22:30] <P1rate_> brian1992: if you are an experienced debian user whats the problem with ubuntu?
[22:30] <meganerd> P1rate_: a better question would be whats good about it
[22:31] <Estragon> hi
[22:31] <Iulia> hello
[22:31] <tjl> sup
[22:31] <tjl> lololol
[22:31] <urfr332gO> blud2, there is no real repair per say, the recovery is in the regular grub menu, not the live cd
[22:32] <Estragon> any informations of a beta of ubuntu on android ?
[22:32] <TomV-415> urfr332gO: Not sure.  Here's a snapshot I took with boot-repair, BEFORE trying the above stuff.  http://paste.ubuntu.com/858407/
[22:32] <zykotick9> Estragon: try #ubuntu-phone
[22:32] <CFHowlett> Estragon   ask @ #ubuntu-phone
[22:32] <Estragon> oh
[22:32] <Estragon> thanks
[22:32] <brian1992> well i had the same problem with debian, its a pain to acess root file system
[22:32] <blud2> urfr332gO: oh i though you said boot to the cd? I'll try the ctrl/shift thing for grub
[22:32] <Estragon> I didnt know there was a channel for this, thanks
[22:33] <meganerd> brian1992: ???  You should not really need to access to root file system on a regular basis
[22:34] <brian1992> meganerd, isnt it nessisary to acess root to place the extracted .tar.gz
[22:35] <meganerd> brian1992: most software I install from the repos, the manual ones a sudo make install works just fine
[22:35] <urfr332gO> TomV-415, the correct files are in ubuntu and the fstab looks good, some are better at reading the bootscript though. I would post a thread on the Ubuntu Forums, that is where I learned all this several of the mods are experts in this area and are on daily
[22:35] <meganerd> brian1992: and sudoedit works when I want to make changes to config files.
[22:36] <P1rate_> brian1992: sudo tar doesnt work?
[22:36] <brian1992> well, as much as i love useing the terminal to install and extract files.....
[22:36] <crackerjackz> what permissions are 777 what would that do if i were to give something that permission?
[22:37] <LjL> ugh, you don't extract a .tar file directly to the root filesystem, brian1992 :(
[22:37] <Iulia> bye all , have a great week
[22:37] <urfr332gO> TomV-415, run the bootscript now don't mess with it ubuntu thats is and post it on the forums and wait fro help would be my advice, or at least if you mess with it run a new bootscript, and post it. http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/
[22:37] <Iulia> thanks for reading
[22:37] <TomV-415> urfr332gO: Thanks for your help!
[22:37] <P1rate_> crackerjackz: 777 allows read ,write and execute by any group
[22:38] <crackerjackz> P1rate_, i dont like the sound of that.. how do i tell it not to do that
[22:38] <urfr332gO> TomV-415, no problem the mbr and bootstuff can be a pain in the booty. :)
[22:38] <TomV-415> urfr332gO: I'm starting to suspect something with the MBR is the problem..
[22:38] <brian1992> LjL, wether its extrated directaly or not, its annoying to have my home folder clutterd with extracted tar.gx folders
[22:38] <crackerjackz> P1rate_, i know to use chmod but what permissions should i give it for read access only?
[22:38] <urfr332gO> see you all time for coffee.
[22:38] <TomV-415> urfr332gO: Yes, pain in the boot-ty is right!  No boot joy.
[22:38] <blud2> urfr332gO: ok i hit shift to get the grub menu and picked recovery mode and picked shell prompt
[22:38] <zej9> I am trying to boot from live cd on my desktop since my MBR is toast, I have the disk in and it loads the first image with the keyboard at the bottom, but now its just a black screen with a blinking white thing in the upper left corner, any help?
[22:40] <brian1992> LjL, wether its extrated directaly or not, its annoying to have my home folder clutterd with extracted tar.gx folders
[22:40] <CFHowlett> zej9   this is an 11.10 cd?
[22:40] <zej9> yes
[22:40] <LjL> brian1992: well just delete the extracted files later, but extracting directly to root is just a recipe for disaster.
[22:41] <CFHowlett> zej9   did you perform md5sum to verify the iso intergrity?
[22:41] <CFHowlett> *integrity*
[22:41] <zej9> how do I do that
[22:41] <CFHowlett> !md5sum|zej9
[22:42] <CFHowlett> zej9   I'm asking because .iso can get scrambled easily.  They look OK but they scramble your *buntu - or don't boot at all...
[22:43] <zej9> Ok I am gonna run it real quick
[22:43] <brian1992> LjL, im talkin about the excutables themselfs, i want them farther back in the fils system
[22:43] <CFHowlett> zej9   also the default 11.10 installer relies on some specific video settings - which can cause problems.  The alternative installer isn't as pretty as it's text based, but it DOES work more often than not.
[22:43] <tbrown2012> Have anyone used the program Cheat Engine Before to make there network go faster or something Am download world of war craft and am having a speed of 5.5MB/s is that fast or can I go higher
[22:44] <brian1992> okay is there a way to make a program files folder in the root fs that i could have acess to?
[22:44] <Guest8994> can someone tell me if this command is correct
[22:44] <Guest8994> /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[22:45] <escott> Guest8994, no use sudo service gdm stop
[22:45] <zykotick9> Guest8994: not really.  are you using 11.10?  cause it doesn't even use gdm
[22:45] <P1rate_> Guest8994: you want to stop a server?
[22:45] <zej9> check sum is the same
[22:45] <tbrown2012> Guest8994: Ya what escott said
[22:45] <tbrown2012> Have anyone used the program Cheat Engine Before to make there network go faster or something Am download world of war craft and am having a speed of 5.5MB/s is that fast or can I go higher
[22:45] <zykotick9> !repeat > tbrown2012
[22:45] <Guest8994> PLrate yes to install drivers
[22:45] <P1rate_> tbrown2012: cheat engine? :P
[22:46] <CFHowlett> zej9   good - which suggests a video setting issue.  Given that it's hanging  at boot, I'm going to suggest a PITA solution.  Get the alternative installer.
[22:46] <trism> bobbyrward: may be conflicting with the installed version, but I'm really not sure, maybe ask in #ubuntu-motu, somebody there probably knows
[22:46] <war10ck1> where can i download the vmware server for linux now?
[22:46] <P1rate_> Guest8994: try what escott said
[22:46] <CFHowlett> Guest8994   that's not in ANY of the repos and isn't supported here
[22:46] <tbrown2012> Pirate_: Thanks for the message but am find if I want to ask the Q: here I would be happy to ok.
[22:47] <CFHowlett> zej9   message received/understood???
[22:47] <TomV-415> urfr332gO: I'm wondering if I can just format the drive and do a install.. will that clear the problem I'm unable to resolve?
[22:47] <zej9> message recieved, going to burn the alt iso
[22:47] <blud2> my computer is stuck when i turn it on it says "|Checking for running unattended upgrades" and it stays like that forever. Now I am in recovery shell and what do i do to fix it?
[22:47] <CFHowlett> zej9   do the md5sum check again  :)
[22:48] <zej9> yes I did :)
[22:48] <war10ck1> blud2, fix-boot
[22:49] <escott> blud2, why did you end up in recovery shell? what happened when you tried to boot normally
[22:49] <escott> blud2, nevermind misread
[22:50] <blud2> war10ck1: it says fix-boot command not found
[22:50] <TomV-415> I'm been having trouble all day with a install of Ubuntu 11.10.. trying to install on an Dell Lattitude d800.  it has worked like a charm in the past.  I don't need to presere anything, but right now my install is failing with a "error: out of disk." message.  I've done a bunch of stuff purging and reinalling grub, running boot-repair, etc. , etc.  no luck.
[22:50] <brian1992> what comand makes a directory?
[22:50] <zykotick9> brian1992: "mkdir foo"
[22:50] <war10ck1> mkdir
[22:51] <TomV-415> So can I just format the drive to reinstall?  Or will I see the same problems?
[22:51] <Jordan_U> war10ck1: What did you mean by "fix-boot". That answer seems completely nonsensical to me.
[22:51] <brian1992> thanks
[22:51] <escott> blud2, you could try apt-get remove unattended-upgrade
[22:51] <escott> blud2, unattended-upgrades
[22:52] <TomV-415> (will that fix any MBR and grub issues that I just could not figure out?)
[22:53] <Jordan_U> TomV-415: An "out of disk" error from grub means that you have a buggy BIOS which can't handle large drives properly.
[22:53] <TomV-415> Jordan_U: ahh, that's a different direction for troubleshooting!  Seems like it worked fine before...
[22:54] <Jordan_U> TomV-415: Sometimes things will work fine for a while, because files tend to be written to the beginning of a partition, and thus the drive, at first. The moment something that needs to be read by the bootloader is past your BIOS's limit, you'll have problems.
[22:54] <TomV-415> Jordan_U: perhaps I can fix with smaller partions set up ?
[22:54] <TomV-415> Jordan_U: Sounds promising.
[22:54] <brian1992> okay, i need to have complete control over a root folder, whats the cmd to change the permissions
[22:55] <Jordan_U> TomV-415: Yes. Create a small /boot/ partition at the beginning of the drive. Any other partitions can be wherever you want as they don't need to be read through BIOS calls.
[22:55] <TomV-415> Jordan_U: that sounds like a good path!  How big is 'small'?
[22:55] <escott> !permissions | brian1992
[22:56] <zej9> Ok I have the Alternate install disk loaded on my computer
[22:56] <zej9> what should I do now
[22:56] <blud2> escott: it says W: not using locking for read only lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock    E: unable to write to /var/cache/apt   E: the package lists or status file could not be parse or open
[22:56] <encrypt> Hi im upgrading to 12.04 and the indicator for the NetworkManager is gone from the panel. Any ideas on how to get it back?
[22:56] <blud2> escott: do i just do sudo first heh
[22:56] <CFHowlett> !precise|encrypt
[22:56] <Jordan_U> TomV-415: Anything below about 30 GiB will be within most BIOS limitations, and that's *MUCH* more than is needed for /boot/. An even 1 GiB is what I would recommend for /boot.
[22:57] <erpingham> Hi. I'm using Ubuntu 11.10, and when I log out of my main user account, it returns to the login manager, but when I log back in, the session hangs just after loading my desktop background but before loading unity
[22:58] <escott> blud2, if you are truly in a recovery console you shouldn't need to sudo, but if you aren't root you would need to sudo
[22:58] <TomV-415> Jordan_U: sounds good.. will configure it now.. 1.) boot partion (1gb), 2.) swap (how big?) 3.) rest of drive as '/' ??
[22:58] <Jordan_U> TomV-415: You can easily get away with less than 1 GiB for /boot/, but for most people 1 GiB is small enough that you won't miss it much and at the same time you won't have to worry much about it getting full.
[22:58] <brian1992> yeah... im just gona log in as root an use the gui
[22:58] <Jordan_U> TomV-415: As much swap as you have RAM is usually a good amount.
[22:59] <blud2> escott: i am truly in recovery mode, the prompt is root@computername   and i just did sudo it has no effect
[23:00] <escott> blud2, sounds like the lock file is bad. you can remove the lock file and try again
[23:01] <Jordan_U> !aptlock | blud2
[23:03] <encrypt> is there any other way to connect my wireless card appart from the indicator in the panel? Or at least check the networks available? NetworkManager is running but no indicator in the panel
[23:04] <CFHowlett> encrypt   12.04 is still in alpha / beta and not supported on this channel.  see #ubuntu+1
[23:05] <blud2> Jordan_U, escott  the first command didnt complain but the 2nd command said: errror: unable to access dpkg status area: read only file system
[23:05] <escott> blud2, sounds like you need to fsck /
[23:06] <LetterRip> hi all - am attempting to fix a failed 'google-desktop-linux' uninstall - when i google i get this thread mentioned as how to fix it, but can't actually load that thread - http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-305472.html
[23:07] <blud2> escott do i just run the command fsck right now in the shell or is that something i have to reboot and pick or w/e
[23:07] <LetterRip> so can someone explain the fix please? here is the error http://pastebin.com/2ieCSAvy
[23:10] <gigs_> Yo, anyone know how I can manage to watch Netflix?
[23:11] <tbrown2012> gigs_: I dont think there is a way to run Netflix on Ubuntu I already tride it sucks
[23:12] <encrypt> CFhowlett, I know just wondering if someone had to deal  with a similar issue before
[23:12] <gigs_> there aren't any drivers or anything I can get to make it work'
[23:12] <Xeneth> Hello peeps.  This rooms alway's more lively then #cisco.  :)
[23:13] <escott> blud2, since your / is mounted ro you can safely fsck now
[23:14] <tbrown2012> gigs_: I don't know I think you need a sliverlight application to run it but I dont think there is one like it on ubuntu let me check and get back with you okay HOld on
[23:14] <Ashii> I want to know, if someone have working flash with their browser, where they can use copy_url_at_current_time at youtube (rightclick the flash), please post input :)
[23:14] <gigs_> great thanks
[23:15] <blud2> escott: i did fsck , it was instantly done and said clean or something. went back to try those other commands and everything still responds the same way ('read only file system')
[23:15] <tbrown2012> gigs_: Ya I look and there was a video on how to run netflix on ubuntu and he use virtual box running windows xp on it and playing the movies on there that might work but I dont think there is a applcation for that am sorry
[23:15] <escott> gigs_, tbrown2012 mono won't help as msft/nflx will not release the encryption keys. the routines are there, but the keys will never be released
[23:15] <escott> blud2, so now you can mount -o remount,rw /
[23:15] <Xeneth> blud2, What FS is on the disk?
[23:16] <tbrown2012> escott_: Why cant they code respond to one another that does not make sense.
[23:16] <Jordan_U> blud2: Wait.
[23:16] <blud2> ok
[23:16] <Jordan_U> blud2: What fsck command did you run exactly?
[23:16] <blud2> Jordan_U: fsck
[23:17] <blud2> Jordan_U: i beleive it did a file system check a few boots ago on its own
[23:17] <blud2> Jordan_U: so maybe its like already done from then or something
[23:18] <escott> blud2, when you have an unclean dismount (like a forced power off) then the fs may be dirty and unable to be mounted rw until after fsck is run
[23:18] <blud2> Xeneth: how can i determine that (although i think its just the default file system type, i didnt pick anything weird)
[23:18] <Jordan_U> blud2: What device is your root filesystem? (Something like /dev/sda5, you can check by running "mount" and looking at the device that goes with '/')
[23:19] <kingofswords> hi can any1 tell me how to update my graphics driver
[23:19] <Xeneth> blud2, if it's the default, then what I was thinking is not valid.  Likly ext4
[23:19] <kingofswords> my video has gone choppy
[23:19] <tbrown2012> I have a Q: if I have 7.3 GB to download and it taken like 5.7MB/s How long would it get done downloading
[23:20] <blud2> it is ext4
[23:20] <escott> tbrown2012, 1024*7.3/5.6
[23:20] <Multbrelch> tbrown2012, easy, no?
[23:20] <Multbrelch> escott, found a solution
[23:21] <tbrown2012> escott: Multbrelch: What do you guys mean?
[23:21] <mangdood> Hi, how can I get KDE to not have laggy animations?
[23:21] <Multbrelch> kingofswords, which graphic crad do u have?
[23:21] <kingofswords> ill look
[23:21] <blud2> btw, at the bottom of the mount output is a warning about how /etc/mtab is not writeable (if that matters)
[23:21] <kingofswords> nvidia
[23:22] <blud2> so should i just do mount -o remount, rw /
[23:22] <kingofswords> Multbrelch, nVidia Corporation G86 [GeForce 8400M GS]
[23:22] <escott> blud2, / is ro so nothing is currently writable
[23:22] <Jordan_U> blud2: It might. Try "cat /proc/mounts" instead. You'll also probably need to run "ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/" to get the shorter device name.
[23:22] <Multbrelch> kingofswords, wot does this give?  lspci | grep nVidia
[23:22] <Xeneth> tbrown2012, They gave you the equation.  you can type it in a calculator to get the answer.
[23:23] <Multbrelch> k
[23:23] <Xeneth> tbrown2012, The answer will be in seconds, to just convert it
[23:23] <kingofswords> Multbrelch, 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G86 [GeForce 8400M GS] (rev a1)
[23:23] <Multbrelch> kingofswords, have u already chosen the newest driver that can be taken from 'Additional Drivers'?
[23:24] <Jordan_U> escott: mount by default reads and writes information to /etc/mtab. So while it would usually work fine to get information on mounted filesystems from /etc/mtab, at the moment it's best to look at /proc/mounts instead.
[23:24] <Multbrelch> kingofswords, do u have a DELL M1330 ?
[23:24] <kingofswords> yeh
[23:24] <kingofswords> how u know that?
[23:24] <Multbrelch> me too :-)
[23:24] <Multbrelch> Cause I have 2
[23:24] <blud2> Jordan_U: still, i didnt change my file system.. it's still ext4, proc mounts isnt going to tell us anything useful right?
[23:24] <Multbrelch> kingofswords, which ubuntu version do u have?
[23:25] <tbrown2012> Xeneth: If I got the Answer 1334.85714 how long is that
[23:25] <kingofswords> recently i my video started goin funny and system slow....thought was gpu dying but windoze is fine
[23:25] <kingofswords> Multbrelch, 10.04lts
[23:25] <Multbrelch> k
[23:25] <Jordan_U> blud2: It's one way to find the device name. Then we can run "fsck /dev/foo" since I'm not sure that fsck with no other options would have checked your root filesystem (it might have, and this might be a waste of time if it did, but at the moment I'd just like to confirm).
[23:25] <Multbrelch> may be u change soon to a newer one ... well, u know that u have a bad graphics card
[23:26] <kingofswords> Multbrelch, in windows partition video is fine
[23:26] <Multbrelch> see here: http://forum.notebookreview.com/dell-xps-studio-xps/204772-m1330-display-issue-vertical-lines-reboot-crash-vertical-lines.html
[23:26] <kingofswords> i prob change in update mgr
[23:26] <Multbrelch> kingofswords, okay
[23:27] <kingofswords> i also change in 'hardware drivers' but cant change back 2 recommended
[23:27] <Multbrelch> did you choose newest driver in: menu -> administration -> additional drivers?
[23:27] <blud2> Jordan_U: when i do fsck it says its doign /dev/sda1/ so, i'm satisfied that it worked
[23:27] <Multbrelch> kingofswords, ah okay
[23:27] <puff`> I left my laptop (thinkpad t520, ubuntu 11.10) running and when I got home, just now, I have 75-100 wireless authentication popups. I am slowly going through them and canceling.  a) is there a faster way to kill them all b) this is the second or third time this has happened, how do I keep it from happening again?
[23:27] <blud2> but now what do i do\
[23:27] <kingofswords> Multbrelch, but had problems b4 i changed
[23:28] <Multbrelch> kingofswords, okay. wot is not goining well? be more precise ...
[23:28] <Jordan_U> blud2: OK, then carry on.
[23:28] <Multbrelch> kingofswords, I KNOW
[23:28] <kingofswords> Multbrelch, divx flash is choppy and slow.....crashes browser
[23:28] <CFHowlett> puff`   turn off wifi autoconnect
[23:29] <kingofswords> general slowness of machine
[23:29] <Multbrelch> Open the NVidea properties window and choose highest clock speed <= this is wot I do always after boot
[23:29] <blud2> Jordan_U: i dont even know what to do next. Am i supposed to do mount -o remount, rw /    ?  (and is that one command or 3 or what heh)
[23:29] <puff`> CFHowlett: Where's that configured?
[23:29] <kingofswords> Multbrelch, you know bleachbit? i think it started then when i cleaned system
[23:29] <Multbrelch> bleachbit?
[23:30] <okum> possible to make your own background image for panel?
[23:30] <kingofswords> Multbrelch, it cleans cache and unwanted things
[23:30] <kingofswords> Multbrelch, i also have loads of options in boot menu/grub
[23:30] <Jordan_U> blud2: The one command is "mount -o remount,rw /" be careful where you put spaces. There is no space after or before the ','.
[23:31] <Xeneth> kingofswords, I tried bleachbit once.    NEVER AGAIN!!!
[23:31] <CFHowlett> puff`   I'm in 10.04 LTS - your setup is different.
[23:31] <Multbrelch>  aha, I dont know this ... - have u chosen highest clock speed in: menu -> administration -> nvidea x server settings?

[23:31] <CFHowlett> 11.10 --- how to disable automatic connections to wifi points?
[23:31] <abreham> anyone who installed strongswan?
[23:31] <mikodo> Never used the Alternate Ubuntu installer. How does it provide for partitoning of a hard drive, before installation, the way the user wants to set it up? Obviously not with a GUI apt like gparted, so how?
[23:32] <Multbrelch> kingofswords, I would test your computer with a new system on a separate hard disk <= best for knowing is all is alright
[23:32] <Xeneth> kingofswords, Not an expert in linux, so I had to reinstall.
[23:32] <CFHowlett> mikodo   text b ased interface.  Same questions, just no pretty pictures
[23:32] <mikodo> CFHowlett, Thanks
[23:32] <kingofswords> Multbrelch, i dont have option for clock speed
[23:32] <Multbrelch> ?
[23:32] <Multbrelch> u have
[23:33] <kingofswords> Multbrelch, i dont c it
[23:33] <Multbrelch> kingofswords, go to powermixer
[23:33] <Multbrelch> "prefer max performance"
[23:33] <kingofswords> Multbrelch, wheres powermixer?
[23:33] <Multbrelch> kingofswords,  menu -> administration -> nvidea x server settings
[23:34] <kingofswords> yeh im in that
[23:34] <kingofswords> Multbrelch, cant see clock speed thou
[23:34] <wingnut2626l> Whats a good version of ubuntu to install on a Mac Ibook G3 (128 mb ram, 500Mhz Power PC)?>
[23:34] <helpanoob> ok i was needing help useing the make command or is there a way to make a .tar.gz into a easy to install deb
[23:34] <czz> Hello, My Ubuntu 11.10 server doesn't have a /etc/resolv.conf file, what should i do?
[23:34] <Multbrelch> kingofswords, well its not called clock speed but rather 'performance'
[23:34] <mikodo> If one,, uses the Ubuntu Alternate install, can they choose to install which DE, or would one need to use the Alternate Install, specific to the DE one wants, say Xfce or Xubuntu?
[23:35] <itaylor57> helpanoob, what are you trying to build?
[23:35] <kingofswords> Multbrelch, sry im in powermixer but theres no option to set
[23:35] <kingofswords> Multbrelch, its already set to maximum perforance
[23:35] <helpanoob> imagination 3.0
[23:36] <Multbrelch> kingofswords, if u r in powermixer u should see  .... ah, okay
[23:36] <puff`> CFHowlett: Thanks.
[23:36] <Jordan_U> mikodo: If I remember correctly, if you look at the menus carefully you can install whatever set of packages you want. But an Ubuntu alternate CD will need to grab and XFCE packages from the internet.
[23:36] <CFHowlett> puff`   you fixed it/found it?
[23:36] <kingofswords> Multbrelch, btw i have 64bit...and flash is 64bit ver and had problem in past with thtis
[23:36] <Multbrelch> kingofswords, well then I would say: in order to be on the safe side, reinstall a system elsewhere and test your graphics card
[23:36] <mikodo> Jordan_U, Thanks
[23:37] <Jordan_U> mikodo: You're welcome.
[23:37] <Multbrelch> kingofswords, I also have 64Bit + Flash and all this <= no problems !!!!
[23:37] <itaylor57> !info imagination
[23:37] <kingofswords> Multbrelch, tested graphics in dual part in windows and its fine
[23:37] <CFHowlett> mikodo   whatever DE is default on your installation, you can add  a different one to select from post-installation
[23:37] <itaylor57> helpanoob, just install from the repos sudo apt-get install imagination
[23:38] <kingofswords> Multbrelch, can i not dl install driver from synaptic?
[23:38] <mikodo> CFHowlett, true, but I am trying for a more pristine install the next time around
[23:38] <Multbrelch> kingofswords, it seems that u somewhat played around with your system ...  and one college here said that bleachbit might have changed things
[23:39] <Multbrelch> Multbrelch, I would not do this
[23:39] <Guest1234> My Laptop is Dell 1537. Is there any way that I can use my microphone input jack as headphone output and how?
[23:39] <kingofswords> yeh
[23:39] <CFHowlett> mikodo   understood - assuming you're running the ubuntu-alternate installation, you'll be installing the unity DE...
[23:39] <helpanoob> itaylor57, ok but the latest ver in my synaptic is 2.1.1
[23:39] <foxxtrot> How bad is the 'did not catch or ignore signal 13' message from a CUPS filter process?
[23:39] <kingofswords> Multbrelch, do u have problems with ur dvdrw on m1330?
[23:39] <Multbrelch> kingofswords, wot u can do is also going to the nvidea homepage searching for the newest driver
[23:39] <helpanoob> itaylor57, ubuntu 10.10 here
[23:39] <itaylor57> helpanoob, what version of ubuntu are you on?
[23:40] <Multbrelch> kingofswords, never !
[23:40] <kingofswords> Multbrelch, do i have to delte old driver before installing new one?
[23:40] <Multbrelch> kingofswords, however i also don't use the dvd device so often
[23:40] <kingofswords> lol me neither
[23:40] <Multbrelch> kingofswords, no
[23:40] <Multbrelch> wait ...
[23:41] <kingofswords> Multbrelch, is it poss to upgrade the graphics card in m1330 or is it solderd on MB
[23:41] <jouni_> whois Multbrelch
[23:41] <Jordan_U> CFHowlett: mikodo: The alternate install CD defaults to installing exactly what the desktop install CD would. It's just that the Alternate install CD is a text based *installer*, and has more options if you don't want to go with the default.
[23:41] <itaylor57> helpanoob, why do you need version 3.0?
[23:42] <Multbrelch> kingofswords, the GPU is on-board, I'm sorry. :-)
[23:42] <mikodo> CFHowlett, I plan to install Xubuntu/Xfce next. So, before I go now to #Xubuntu, one more question here, if I may... Do each of the versions or variants of Ubuntu have Alternate installers of their own? Like Ubnutu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, lubuntu?
[23:42] <Multbrelch> kingofswords, this might be the newest driver: http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-amd64-295.20-driver.html
[23:42] <haylo> is the "recovery Console" basically my shell? if i wanted to slim down 11.04 would it be ok to use that as a place to work from and maybe install openbox-seeion?
[23:42] <helpanoob> itaylor57, i was just asking no reason other then I would like to try it
[23:43] <CFHowlett> mikodo   the official distros have alternate installers
[23:43] <Guest1234> I heard that this is possible on Dell Studio 1537 with Windows 7 but is there any way I can do this with my Ubuntu 11.04?
[23:43] <kingofswords> Multbrelch, thx for trying to help...have gn....i changed to recommended driver so reboot perhaps will sort it
[23:43] <itaylor57> helpanoob, good luck I have no info on how to build it via make
[23:43] <kingofswords> Multbrelch, thx 4 link
[23:43] <blud2> ok guys i was able to remove that unattended upgrade with apt-get, so now what do i do, just reboot??
[23:43] <Multbrelch> kingofswords, plz verify again
[23:43] <mikodo> CFHowlett, Thank you an Jordan_U.... Bye now
[23:44] <kingofswords> Multbrelch, verify what?
[23:44] <Guest1234> I guess that nobody knows anything about this...
[23:44] <CFHowlett> mikodo   have fun/be safe
[23:44] <Multbrelch> kingofswords, the driver ... but I think it is the correct one. It's for 64 bit
[23:44] <blud2> escott: Jordan_U  do i just reboot now ?
[23:45] <kingofswords> Multbrelch, Version:
[23:45] <kingofswords> 295.20?
[23:45] <zeleftikam> anybody have experience with iptraf?
[23:45] <zeleftikam> i has confusion
[23:46] <kingofswords> gn ppl
[23:46] <Oer> Guest1234, " microphone input jack as headphone output and how? " and "heard" it is possible on windows 7 ? hard to believe you can switch input to output.
[23:46] <Multbrelch> kingofswords, this is the NEWEST driver! So, I have no idea wot the result will be. I have 260.19.06
[23:46] <starn> for some reason ubuntu/xubuntu will not mount primary "C" partition.. it's 500gb with vists 64bit
[23:46] <kingofswords> Multbrelch, thx...ill reboot and if same i will dl this driver then try...thx again
[23:46] <malkauns> how do u configure multihead displays in ubuntu (eg. 10+ screens) ?
[23:46] <Guest1234> Oer, believe me, it is possible.
[23:46] <Multbrelch> kingofswords, before u do anything: backup your stuff !!!!!
[23:47] <kingofswords> ok
[23:47] <Multbrelch> kingofswords, backup is a must
[23:47] <viKtor_> hi people, just one question, i can't decide between unity and kde so, for a really powered pc, which one could be better? i like both but both are lacking in something... just need to know! hehe
[23:47] <xangua> starn: by ubuntu/xubuntu you mean? xubuntu default install? already installed ntfs-3g?
[23:47] <humungulous> starn: mount <devspec> <mountpoint> -t ntfs
[23:47] <xangua> !Info ntfs-3g | starn
[23:47] <fALSO> Hi
[23:47] <starn> xangua: ubuntu default..  humungulous that's not working...
[23:48] <humungulous> starn: what do you get
[23:48] <xangua> !info ntfs-3g | starn
[23:48] <fALSO> can anyone point me to the correct way to remove a service from boot with upstart ?
[23:48] <fALSO> i cant seem to find out a "correct way" to do it
[23:48] <fALSO> just hacks
[23:48] <starn> i already have that installed... it mounts all other hard drives just fine.
[23:48] <zykotick9> fALSO: upstart doesn't have a "correct way", moving the file in /etc/init to foo.disabled should work
[23:49] <humungulous> starn: you get what on stderr
[23:49] <trism> fALSO: if you are on ubuntu natty+, echo manual | sudo tee /etc/init/servicename.override; otherwise just comment out the start on lines
[23:49] <lincore> LEAVE
[23:49] <fALSO> see.. ? theres like 10 different ways
[23:49] <humungulous> lincore: /part
[23:49] <fALSO> which one is the recommended
[23:49] <starn> humungulous: i don't know?
[23:49] <humungulous> starn: well it must say something otherwise how do you know its failing
[23:50] <trism> fALSO: use the first one if your ubuntu version supports it, otherwise comment out the start on lines, you could rename the file if you wanted, but then you can't start it manually
[23:50] <starn> humungulous: says fuse: failed to access mountpoint.
[23:50] <blud2> when i turn on my computer it breifly shows the loading screen, but then it goes to a black screen that says "Could not write bytes: Broken Pipe"
[23:50] <humungulous> starn: are you issuing it through sudo
[23:51] <starn> humungulous: yes.
[23:51] <bjv> ack; enjoyable experience with freenode webchat. :\
[23:51] <humungulous> starn: you already tried a different mountpoint
[23:51] <starn> i did sudo fdisk -l first to see name and it says it's /dev/sda1.
[23:51] <escott> blud2, is that stopping the boot?
[23:51] <starn> humungulous: yes
[23:51] <humungulous> checking
[23:51] <blud2> escott: I guess so, its just sitting at that screen for a minute now
[23:52] <starn> humungulous: it mounts the second hard drive just fine.. and mounts the external drives just fine. using thos commands. but it appears to refuse to do so for the one with vista installed on.. and all my hard drives except the one ubuntu is installed on are ntfs.
[23:53] <bjv> trouble with hibernate' though. s2disk unable to stat suspend device.  i resumed from hibernate after plugging in an additional sata drive. on boot it could not find sda5 as it was now sdb5. after typing /dev/sdb5 it resumed. but now i am unable to suspend
[23:53] <humungulous> starn: syntax as i get it should be sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/wherever
[23:53] <daftykins> bjv: you should use UUIDs to mount instead
[23:54] <bjv> what is unusual though is no mention of device in suspend log, even with -v4
[23:54] <bjv> daftykins: initramfs resume file _does have uuid specified
[23:54] <daftykins> oic
[23:54] <daftykins> sorry
[23:55] <bjv> blkid confirms that uuid is in use, listed as "swap"
[23:55] <escott> blud2, does ctrl-alt-f1 take you to a login prompt
[23:55] <Satisfied> just installed ubuntu on a laptop and its my first time using wireless.... little nervous though.. is there a way to find out if the wireless is encrypted ?
[23:56] <blud2> escott: no, it does nothing
[23:56] <CFHowlett> Satisfied   by default it's not
[23:56] <chaospsychex> Satisfied: why are you nervous?
[23:56] <starn> humungulous: it just says "fuse:failed to access mountpoint /mnt/whatever no such file or directory i've tried /media/whatever  and i get that when i type sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/whatever or /media/whatever . normally use "windows" "vista" what ever i can think of. nothing seems to work.
[23:56] <bjv> is there a way to determine the suspend device of a running kernel?
[23:57] <humungulous> starn: you have to mkdir the mountpoint first
[23:57] <bjv> specifically, and change it.
[23:57] <Satisfied> well, if I'm logging into a website.. not liking the idea that my neighbors can read those passwords
[23:57] <starn> humungulous: i have tried that as well.
[23:57] <cool_beans> What's the app that detects hardware and recommends drivers for you?
[23:57] <humungulous> starn: what permissions on the mountpoint you mkdir'd
[23:58] <bjv> satisfied: if you did not key in a passphrase then your wireless network is not encryped
[23:58] <starn> seeing how i use sudo? i assume admin?
[23:58] <bjv> read the documentation for your network hardware
[23:58] <bjv> generally you point a web browser to the device.
[23:59] <starn> humungulous: plus considering the fact i'm trying to put it in /mnt/windows  or /media/windows  it's root folder...
[23:59] <Satisfied> but with the wireless particles flying all over the neighborhood, can't someone just pick that up and read all of it ?
[23:59] <humungulous> starn: whats output of ls -l <that dir you mkdird>
[23:59] <mikodo>  Jordan_U  One last question: Does your following statement mean that the Alternate installer CD, is a collection of base libs, or whatever, than one installs, then one can choose, the DE he wants with it? like Unity or Xubuntu or Xfce or Kubuntu ? "It's just that the Alternate install CD is a text based *installer*, and has more options if you don't want to go with the default."
