[16:52] <bobweaver> what is other command to do it
[16:52] <leex> Night_Elf: well after boot I am dropped a non functional root shell and slim/xdm isnt starting
[16:52] <bobweaver> service stop gdm ?
[16:53] <BentSpace> sorry
[16:53] <leex> Night_Elf: I can switch to diffrent TTY and run startx, that's what I do right now
[16:53] <Night_Elf> leex: and when you give "mount" what does it say ?
[16:53] <ginnybelle> bobweaver: unrecognized service
[16:53] <bobweaver> ginnybelle: sudo service gdm stop
[16:54] <ginnybelle> bobweaver: stop: unknown instance
[16:54] <leex> Night_Elf: /dev/mapper/alpha-root on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro) /dev/sda1 on /boot type ext2 (rw) others omitted ;)
[16:54] <bobweaver> ginnybelle:  ls /etc/init.d/  | grep gdm\/kdm
[16:54] <BentSpace> I'm just using the empathy at the moment, know if there is any way to get rid of all the so and so joined room messages?
[16:54] <rexlight> nevermind: fixed, that was a chore
[16:55] <snuskgubbe> so guys and girls.. iv got a tricky question for you
[16:55] <Night_Elf> leex: is that how it should be? The first one?
[16:55] <miniuser> how do i owngrade flash from 11 to previous version please?
[16:55] <tekniku> Hi guys, when I try to set file permissions on a folder, the permissions return back to -
[16:55] <miniuser> downgrade
[16:55] <tekniku> why is this so please?
[16:56] <ginnybelle> bobweaver: grep /kdm no such file or directory
[16:56] <llutz> tekniku: folder not on a unix-fs?
[16:56] <bobweaver> ok
[16:56] <snuskgubbe> iv got ubuntu installed via usb-creater to my usb-stick and everytime i reboot i get this menu that asks me if i want to install or try ubuntu,, and it takes 5 minutes for it to load after iv clicked try ubuntu.. how do i get rid of it?
[16:56] <tekniku> I am a beginner sorry
[16:56] <bobweaver> ginnybelle: sudo service gdm restart
[16:56] <tekniku> I was able to do it...
[16:56] <bobweaver> anything ?>\
[16:56] <tekniku> now all of a suddent I cannot
[16:57] <tekniku> I cannot even tick to allow program to execute
[16:57] <tekniku> the tick goes away :S
[16:57] <PeaceMaker> maheshk, sort with the % MEM usage will give you a rough idea on how the memory is used.
[16:57] <ginnybelle> bobweaver: restart: unknown instance
[16:57] <leex> Night_Elf: yes, that is ok
[16:57] <CheBuzz> Seems like this should be a simple answer to find, but I can't seem to find it anywhere.  How do I open multiple instances of a program.  For example, I want to open 3 different terminals?  I have tried Ctrl+click Alt+click, shift+click, etc but to no avail.
[16:59] <dandre> Hello,
[16:59] <leex> Night_Elf: it feels like a single user boot, but with ttys and a fucked root shell ;) can't really figure it out
[16:59] <CheBuzz> (This is in Unity of course)
[16:59] <Night_Elf> leex: hmmm, odd. I would look for any error messages that refer sda (that is your disk to what I see) or any of its partitions sda1 and sda2 and so on, on the logfiles. Check at /var/log/messages or /var/log/syslog ...
[16:59] <BentSpace> llutz: Sorry, accidentally hit clear, not sure if I missed a message from you about the 2 small partitions Ubuntu created on install and if one is supposed to be  swap?
[17:00] <Night_Elf> leex: or /var/log/dmesg
[17:00] <PeaceMaker> CheBuzz, you can just launch the application again to get a new window.
[17:00] <sanjuan> Hi everyone, i am the admin of a network at a students residence and I need to find a way to limit the number of prints to 300/month for each student,any ideas?
[17:00] <PeaceMaker> CheBuzz, or in case of terminal, from the File menu, open a new window or tab.
[17:00] <Night_Elf> tekniku: what did you do before that happened?
[17:00] <dandre> I have an issue since my upgrade to 11.10 with vino-server. My remote session is iin qwerty keyboard layout instead of my french layout. Is there a fix available?
[17:01] <CheBuzz> PeaceMaker: From the sidebar?  Because I can't figure out any way to launch it again from the sidebar.
[17:01] <llutz> BentSpace: i don't know what the installer does. do you have any other OS on that machine? if not, the 2GB partition sounds like a broken swap, you might reconfigure it (/dev/sda5 most likely)
[17:01] <tekniku> Night_Elf: nothing I am working with vmware and in fact I have restarted it from the beginning and its still the same
[17:02] <leex> Night_Elf: pm with the output
[17:02] <PeaceMaker> CheBuzz, CTRL-SHIFT-N for terminal
[17:03] <CheBuzz> PeaceMaker: Right, that's from the terminal.  But what about other applications?  Is there no way to launch multiple instances from the Unity sidebar?
[17:03] <bobweaver> ginnybelle: reboot in normal mode
[17:03] <ginnybelle> bobweaver: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart took me to the gui but the mouse and keyboard still don't work
[17:03] <PeaceMaker> CheBuzz, Some applications like Firefox and Thunderbird only allows one instance per user.
[17:03] <leex> Night_Elf: any idea where to look? or how to get better debugging information?
[17:03] <bobweaver> ginnybelle: susop apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[17:03] <dageriv> i have low fps when viewing movies with totem or vlc. round 15-20 or so perhaps. new laptop. wtf?
[17:03] <bobweaver> ginnybelle: sudo  apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[17:04] <theishi> if i messed up a value in my gconf-editor... is there anyway to figure out what it was previously?
[17:04] <bobweaver> ginnybelle: that will install all ubuntu stuff htatt you get out of the box
[17:04] <BentSpace> llutz: No other OS's, just had it erase everything and fill the whole HD.  Extended is on /dev/sda2 and the unknown is /dev/sda5.  So /dev/sda5 is suppose to be the swap?
[17:04] <Night_Elf> tekniku: please here. More people will be able to see what your problem is.
[17:04] <tekniku> OK sure :)
[17:04] <Gediminas> Hello. Is this important in disk partitioner to choose primary or logical? Can someone explaim me what choise is betteR?
[17:05] <llutz> BentSpace: yes,change partition-type to swap and run "sudo mkswap /dev/sda5" then
[17:05] <tekniku> Night_Elf: as I have said I am using VMWARE and I restarted it and the problem remained the same
[17:05] <savid> I'm having an issue with the indicator bar in oneiric.  When I click on an item, its menu does not stay open.  A single click should keep the menu open, but I have to hold the mouse button down in order for it to stay open.  Any ideas?
[17:05] <Night_Elf> leex: Is there a scsi controller in play? Maybe check for messages from the driver as well ?
[17:05] <tekniku> Once I choose the file permissions, these return back to -
[17:05] <CheBuzz> PeaceMaker: And that's fine, but many other allow multiple.  It would be nice to have a way to launch multiple instances from the sidebar.  Are you saying that is not possible in Unity?
[17:06] <tekniku> I am using an admin account
[17:06] <Night_Elf> tekniku: maybe your system was not properly shutdown and now you have a readonly mounted filesystem. Check with "mount"
[17:06] <tekniku> And I am trying with the creator
[17:06] <leex> Night_Elf: [    2.567215] scsi 2:0:0:0: Direct-Access     ATA      OCZ-VERTEX2      1.23 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5
[17:06] <theishi> 1;3~nm
[17:06] <leex> Night_Elf: [    2.567423] sd 2:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg0 type 0
[17:06] <tekniku> ok I will try that
[17:06] <PeaceMaker> CheBuzz, I am using gnome, and it works fine by clicking the application icon multiple times to launch new instance.
[17:07] <leex> Night_Elf: nothing that seems to yield an error
[17:07] <ginnybelle> bobweaver: okay did that
[17:07] <ginnybelle> bobweaver: startx?
[17:07] <Night_Elf> leex: that is odd. There must be some error somewhere. Anything happened just before this oddity appeared ?
[17:07] <bobweaver> ginnybelle: yup
[17:07] <CheBuzz> PeaceMaker: Yes, but my question was about doing it in Unity
[17:07] <Gediminas> What choise is better: Logical partition or primary? Can someone explain to me? Please. :s
[17:08] <bobweaver> ginnybelle:  is it still  no mouse ?
[17:08] <ginnybelle> bobweaver: yup
[17:08] <mikesandford> I have used Ubuntu for many years and advocated it in many places.  I am now the director of IT at the company and have been spending quite a bit of money (over several years) to reduce/eliminate our dependence on Windows so we can switch to linux.  My hope was to switch to Ubuntu.  But after all this Unity stuff came out, I can't really recommend that anymore.  I don't suspect that my complaint alone will make a difference, but
[17:08] <mikesandford>  what is the right place to voice my opposition?
[17:08] <bobweaver> ginnybelle: ok ctrl+alt+f1
[17:09] <bobweaver> ginnybelle: sign in then  sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[17:09] <osubuck_> mikesandford try out xubuntu, it may be more your style
[17:09] <leex> Night_Elf: nothing special, upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10 worked fine, the error started yesterday, only thing I did was update/upgrade and installed eclipse and android stuff again
[17:09] <Night_Elf> mikesandford: I would guess the forums as well could be a place to start.
[17:09] <jac0bz1> hi!
[17:09] <ginnybelle> bobweaver: not workin, gotta reboot
[17:09] <BentSpace> llutz: Sorry again, just noticed that it already says Partition Type: Linux swap (0x82), do I still need to run  "sudo mkswap /dev/sda5"?
[17:09] <urthmover> mikesandford: you don't have to use unity...you can choose and window manager you want
[17:09] <llutz> BentSpace: yes, to be sure
[17:09] <HashNuke> hey guys!
[17:09] <bobweaver> ginnybelle: we might have to set up networking easy for me id you plug in the ethernet cable
[17:09] <Gediminas> SunTsu, Hey, are you here? :)
[17:10] <mikesandford> yes I imagine I could, I do like using the defaults as it makes getting support MUCH easier
[17:10] <Night_Elf> leex: yet otherwise of that, everything seems normal ?
[17:10] <jac0bz1> Is there a way to bring window to front? I'm using 11.10 with gnome (No unity). When i press "open folder" in the download dialog in firefox, the window open, but behind firefox.. just a dialog in the bottom saying that the folder is ready....
[17:10] <osubuck_> im actually surprised xubuntu isn't a lot more popular than it is now
[17:10] <ginnybelle> bobweaver: with my netbook?
[17:10] <llutz> BentSpace: "sudo blkid | grep swap"  to get the UUID (or simply use /dev/sda5) and add it to /etc/fstab
[17:11] <bobweaver> ginnybelle: the one with the gdm troubles
[17:11] <HashNuke> I have this bash script that I added as an init script and it has "> /dev/null" in some commands. And when I boot the system, I get these "/dev/null Permission denied" all over the place. Is there anything wrong? Shouldn't I be sending data to /dev/null from boot scripts?
[17:11] <leex> Night_Elf: yes, just that slim doenst start through the runlevels, I can start it manually though
[17:11] <moo-> how do i check what window manager im running?
[17:11] <Night_Elf> leex: through the /etc/init.d/yadayada start  too ?
[17:11] <ginnybelle> bobweaver: I wouldn't have any idea how to do that
[17:12] <leex> Night_Elf: but an open root shell isnt the way to go :/ everyone can just use it
[17:12] <leex> Night_Elf: yes
[17:12] <ginnybelle> bobweaver: especially now with all the problems
[17:12] <bobweaver> ginnybelle: to plug in ethernet cable ?
[17:12] <ginnybelle> bobweaver: I don't have one. I was using wireless
[17:12] <bobweaver> oh
[17:12] <leex> Night_Elf: the initscript works fine
[17:12] <PeaceMaker> Another question, if a computer dies, is it possible to recover a hardware RAID, suppose I can move the controller and disks over?
[17:13] <ginnybelle> bobweaver: this all started when I tried to update from 9.10 to 10.04
[17:13] <Night_Elf> leex: yes it's very strange. So it asks you something as "type password for maintenance or Ctrl-D for normal boot" or some other message ?
[17:13] <bobweaver> ginnybelle: I am sure that it did
[17:13] <ginnybelle> bobweaver:  any way to reverse that?
[17:13] <leex> Night_Elf: nope, it just asked for my luks password, starts normal and droppes me the root shell, I checked grub, it seems to me untouched
[17:14] <bobweaver> ginnybelle: now on these commands please do not post outcome just what I ask for
[17:14] <jac0bz1> Is there a way to bring window to front? I'm using 11.10 with gnome (No unity). When i press "open folder" in the download dialog in firefox, the window open, but behind firefox.. just a dialog in the bottom saying that the folder is ready....
[17:14] <Night_Elf> leex: luks password?
[17:14] <bobweaver> ginnybelle: ifconfig    do you see a wlan what is wireless ?
[17:15] <Zta> Ocelot is really a mess, isn't it?
[17:15] <leex> Night_Elf: yes my harddrive is crypted
[17:15] <Night_Elf> leex: Ah I see
[17:15] <bobweaver> ginnybelle: the one after lo
[17:15] <ginnybelle> bobweaver:  hang on... have to reboot again...
[17:15] <Night_Elf> leex: but then no error message at all whatsoever?
[17:15] <elvis2_> i loaded 11.10 then upgrades. now my user directory group and owner are being recognized as temp... i also can't change some settings because it is showing those options are locked... any clue on how to fix?
[17:15] <bobweaver> ginnybelle: cool
[17:16] <MindSpark> hi. can someone tell me why my 11.10 system looks like a 90's installation of redhat?
[17:16] <tomasm-> hi, for some reason, in a dual monitor setup, opening a new window of anything always goes to my left monitor even though it shows for a split second on the active (right) one - it gets annoying when i have to manually move every new window to the right screen... it used to work in previous versions - any idea whats wrong and how to fix it?
[17:16] <Zta> Is there a guide somewhere to make it behave more like Ubuntu used to do?  I mean, the mouse has completely changed behavour.  Alt+MMB used to resize windows.    A bug perhaps.
[17:16] <MindSpark> the theme looks very old all of a sudden
[17:16] <leex> Night_Elf: the only thing that fails is the error reporting stuff :/
[17:17] <dabukalam> !lxde
[17:17] <leex> but that has been failing since 10.4 I guess
[17:17] <Zta> How do I add the system monitor to the toolbar (or what ever it's called these days) at the top of the screen?
[17:17] <dr_willis> MindSpark:  be a bit more specific. perhaps post a screen shot - and tell us the version # of ububntu you are using.
[17:17] <_junior_bastos__> problems with wubi after first restart: "no wubildr" and "prefix is not set"
[17:18] <deichshaf> hi folks, i already tried google with "ubuntu nvidia deutsch" as search pattern but didn't find a good tutorial for installing the nvidia-drivers under 11.04/11.10 that come in german. has anyone here a slight clue, what i should look for to get better results?
[17:18] <ActionParsnip> !info lxde | dabukalam
[17:18] <leex> Night_Elf: brb 2min
[17:18] <dr_willis> deichshaf:  just run the addational drivers tool, and let it install them. (from cli its jockey-gtk)
[17:18] <MindSpark> dr_willis, I am using 11.10, had this computer as is for 2 years and been upgrading normally since v8. I don't know why I am having trouble dealing with unity and I just don't like it. I would rather be using gnome. But it seems like gnome 2 is just not cutting it with the recent changes
[17:19] <ginnybelle> bobweaver:  nothing that says wlan
[17:19] <luist> hey guys… i made a live usb with ubuntu 11.10 just to run a basic Qt app and some command line routines. i need to free lots of disk space to make it lighter, what should i unninstall?
[17:19] <dr_willis> MindSpark:  gnome -2 is dead....   If you want a old-skool type desktop these days. You may want to check out Lubuntu/Lxde
[17:19] <Gediminas> What to choose on /boot, swap, '/', and /home partitions: logical or primary?
[17:20] <Zta> MindSpark: Unity is horrible.  Perhaps it would work on a tablet, but it is definitely not increasing productivity on a desktop pc.
[17:20] <bobweaver> ginnybelle: what is 3rd one down called
[17:20] <phlak_user> luist: to make what lighter? the usb?
[17:20] <BentSpace> llutz: got the UUID, how to add it to fstab.  Currently fstab says: # <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
[17:20] <BentSpace> proc            /proc           proc    nodev,noexec,nosuid 0       0
[17:20] <ginnybelle> bobweaver: inet6
[17:20] <BentSpace> # / was on /dev/sdb1 during installation
[17:20] <wiredfool> Gediminas: I normally put /boot on a primary, everything else on logical
[17:20] <dr_willis> Gediminas:  dosent really matter. you an have as a max. 4 primary. one of those can be a extended. that holds logicals...
[17:20] <BentSpace> UUID=50a24a49-1f79-479c-8a34-43b7ae7b9bde /               ext4    errors=remount-ro 0       1
[17:20] <BentSpace> # swap was on /dev/sdb5 during installation
[17:20] <BentSpace> #UUID=06a108b4-f9c0-43fb-9229-ce676845f727 none            swap    sw              0       0
[17:20] <FloodBot1> BentSpace: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:20] <bobweaver> ginnybelle: eth1 ?
[17:20] <bobweaver> ginnybelle: after lo
[17:20] <luist> phlak_user: yes… less disk space and boot faster if possible
[17:20] <deichshaf> dr_willis, my need are...well let's say 'a bit picky': 2 boards with a total of 3 screens - will the tool install the proprietary drivers from nvidia.com, or will it just install nv?
[17:20] <llutz> BentSpace: "UUID=xyz-abc-def   none                    swap            sw              0 0"
[17:20] <quick-> hey , wine is not working . Pls help
[17:20] <MindSpark> dr_willis, I don't want an oldskool looking anything. In fact, I hate the currently looking system. It looks like I reverted back to a very old one. I am guessing my themes are not compatible with the 11.10 changes
[17:20] <leex> Night_Elf: ok nothing failed, but still dropping to the root shell
[17:20] <dr_willis> Gediminas:  you could make /boot a primary, and the rest in a extended/logical    or all primary.
[17:20] <ginnybelle> bobweaver: not that I see
[17:21] <ActionParsnip> Zta: use a different DE, or a different shell. You don't even have to use gnome.
[17:21] <Arney> Hey. Where can I find the people who made the X11 xkb system. Its really hard to work with and I would like to make a definitive guide.
[17:21] <ginnybelle> bobweaver:  I was using the wireless at home, but I'm at work now
[17:21] <dr_willis> MindSpark:  gnome-3 uses totally differnt themeing then the old gnome. theres also gtk2 vs gtk3 issues.
[17:21] <Gediminas> dr_willis, Thanks. :)
[17:21] <ginnybelle> bobweaver:  we also have wireless, but I've never signed in here before
[17:21] <leex> Night_Elf: the rootshell is on tty7 exiting the shell results it this ubuntu waiting screen with the flashing points on the bottom...
[17:21] <llutz> BentSpace: why the heck did they comment the swap?  now the UUID will have changed, so insert the one from "blkid" instead
[17:21] <dr_willis> MindSpark:  there was a bug  that caused gnome2 to reset back to a window-95ish theme.. if thats what you are refering to.
[17:21] <phlak_user> luist: it will always appear to be faster if you have a lightweight WM like lxde
[17:22] <Night_Elf> leex: I just noticed to that paste you sent earlier... the last lines say something like:  [   24.475401] init: failsafe main process (921) killed by TERM signal
[17:22] <MindSpark> dr_willis, I think I might have some gnome2 apps along with other gnome3 apps. Gnome shell fails to launch properly, either I get a segfault or it just hangs without me being able to focus on any running window, which leaves my x system unstable
[17:22] <leex> Night_Elf: ok?
[17:22] <Zta> ActionParsnip: I liked the DE Prior to Unity.  Can I have that?  I only see Unity2D and Unity as options.
[17:22] <luist> phlak_user: well thats a good starting point… i totallyhate unity
[17:22] <Night_Elf> leex: check lines 900 and down.
[17:22] <phlak_user> luist: k
[17:22] <MindSpark> dr_willis, sounds like that's it, how do I fix that?
[17:23] <Night_Elf> leex: I think that should not happen. You don't want things being shut down.
[17:23] <dr_willis> MindSpark:  no idea. ive never experienced it.. this is the forst ive heard it mentioned in 11.10 also.. it was a 11.04 bug.
[17:23] <osubuck_> isn't gnome 2 discontinued from development?
[17:23] <dr_willis> osubuck_:  yes.. its basically dead now.
[17:23] <ActionParsnip> !nounity | zta
[17:23] <ActionParsnip> osubuck_: yes Gnome2 is dead
[17:23] <leex> Night_Elf: yeah it killes all the *dms
[17:23] <shp> hi
[17:23] <MindSpark> ok, so here's the question, how do I upgrade from gnome2 to gnome3 on 11.10?
[17:23] <leex> Night_Elf: and ttys
[17:24] <phlak_user> MindSpark: sudo apt-get install gnome-shell
[17:24] <ginnybelle> bobweaver: I'm also not opposed to just wiping the whole gorram thing and starting over, if that's what's required
[17:24] <Zta> !classic | Zta
[17:24] <bobweaver> ginnybelle: No
[17:24] <Night_Elf> leex: say, what is the default runlevel? Check with  cat /etc/inittab
[17:24] <MindSpark> phlak_user, I did that, but when I run gnome-about it still says 2.something
[17:24] <luist> phlak_user: well… can i just uninstall unity?
[17:24] <Gediminas> Is 10gb for '/' partition is enought?
[17:24] <shp> each time i double click a song, a new vlc window opens whereas i'd like there is only one vlc window and each time i click on a song the one being played is replaced
[17:24] <phlak_user> luist: yes
[17:24] <BentSpace> llutz: What is the "/dev/mapper/cryptswap1 none swap sw 0 0"?  I did chose the encrypt home directory option on install maybe that's what's going on.
[17:25] <luist> phlak_user: is gnome much heavier than xlde?
[17:25] <phlak_user> luist: yes
[17:25] <osubuck_> lxde? yes
[17:25] <Zta> ActionParsnip: I've heard the word GnomeShell, but I'm not sure what it covers.
[17:25] <leex> Night_Elf: doesnt exist
[17:25] <quick-> phlak_user:  how do i uninstall unity ? will it afect the system if i install gnome ??
[17:25] <luist> phlak_user: ok… what else can i remove ?
[17:25] <ActionParsnip> Zta: there are guides around but the ubottu factoid is all I can advise
[17:25] <phlak_user> quick-:  just install gnome-shell first
[17:25] <llutz> BentSpace: yep, it also encrypts swap in that case. i don't have any idea how to deal with it, but i fear we just broke your encrypted-swap by using "mkswap" :(
[17:25] <phlak_user> luist: to save space you can always remove the docs
[17:26] <osubuck_> Zta - have you tried xfce?
[17:26] <dr_willis> MindSpark:  gnome2 is basically removed..  everyone is fighting with  trying to get gnome3/gnome-shell to look/act like gnome2
[17:26] <luist> phlak_user: hm… via synaptic? can i just seach for docs?
[17:26] <Zta> osubuck_: Nope.  I know what is and that's not what I want.  I want my old classic Ubuntu back =)
[17:26] <javier__> hi! I'm under ubuntu 11.10. I installed windows 7 in another partition recently, but I can't make any change in that partition from ubuntu (nautilus). I only have reading premission. How to change this? thanks!
[17:26] <dr_willis> theres gtk themes, (gtk2 and gtk3, then gnome-shell themes)
[17:27] <Night_Elf> leex: mmm. What version are you using? And let's ask around if the rest of the users here that use your Ubuntu version, also lack /etc/inittab   ?
[17:27] <leex> Night_Elf: 11.10
[17:27] <moo-> my audio volume icon disappeared from my gnome-panel?
[17:27] <moo-> why
[17:27] <moo-> i want it bakc
[17:27] <mdgeorge1> <3 mooo
[17:27] <MindSpark> dr_willis,  not me. I am actually trying to get gnome3 to work
[17:27] <phlak_user> javier__: is it mounted read-only?
[17:27] <osubuck_> Zta- so you want gnome 2, which you know is dead
[17:27] <meowsus> Every time i run "sudo aptitude update" I get 404 errors when trying to download lists from "http://ppa.launchpad.net oneiric/main i386 Packages" is anyone else experiencing this?
[17:27] <meowsus> Since i upgraded to oneiric
[17:27] <leex> Can anyone confirm that there is no /etc/inittab on ubuntu 11.10?
[17:27] <Night_Elf> So... question... Does Ubuntu 11.10 have/use  the /etc/inittab file ?
[17:27] <MindSpark> I just opened ubuntu software center and I am going through each and every gnome3 package installing it individually
[17:27] <MonkeyDust> i use gnome 2, but not in ubuntu
[17:27] <ActionParsnip> !find fallback
[17:27] <dr_willis> MindSpark:  clean install here.. gnome-shell works fine. testing out themes for it now.
[17:27] <mdgeorge1> is there an easy way to have alt-tab not group by application?
[17:27] <MindSpark> but I am sure there must be an easier way
[17:28] <javier__> phlak_user: I don't know. In properties, I go to permissions and I try to change it (it's set to "read"), but it won't make the change
[17:28] <ActionParsnip> !info gnome-session-fallback
[17:28] <llutz> BentSpace: but it didn't work before, so nothing to worry about
[17:28] <wiredfool> meowsus: that looks like you
[17:28] <ActionParsnip> zta ^
[17:28] <wiredfool> meowsus: that looks like you're missing the ppa name
[17:28] <TheHypnotist-> anyone know how to create shortcut items, within gnome --- but for shell scripts? I've tried using /bin/sh or /bin/bash and passing the script name but that didn't work. Would love to have some suggestions?
[17:28] <dr_willis> MindSpark:  as a test.. try making a new user.. see if gnome-shell works for them. it could be your old user settings are causing the issues.
[17:28] <phlak_user> javier__: open up a terminal and type mount. paste that output in a pastebin and lets have a look
[17:28] <Zta> osubuck_: there has to be something better that Unity -- without having to throw out all my standard app(let)s.
[17:28] <Zta> ActionParsnip: thanks
[17:28] <dr_willis> MindSpark:  as a test.. try making a new user.. see if gnome-shell works for them. it could be your old user settings are causing the issues.
[17:28] <sanjuan> Hi everyone, i am the admin of a network at a students residence and I need to find a way to limit the number of prints to 300/month for each student,any ideas?
[17:28]  * dr_willis is lagged i think.
[17:28] <MindSpark> dr_willis, negative, I deleted all config files and still having issues
[17:28] <phlak_user> sanjuan: enable quota
[17:29] <BentSpace> llutz: Oops, no worries, thanks for trying to help me any ways. hmm maybe I should reinstall, haven't changed much yet.
[17:29] <leex> Night_Elf: the guy sitting in my office next to me ubuntu 11.04 has no inittab too
[17:29] <Night_Elf> Can anyone tell whether Ubuntu 11.10 does NOT have an /etc/inittab file ?
[17:29] <xibalba> hey fellas, is there a way to lock down single user mode?
[17:29] <leex> Night_Elf: I asked the devel channel
[17:29] <leex> Night_Elf: there is no inittab anymore
[17:29] <DasEi> xibalba: lock down, you always or never want it ?
[17:30] <phlak_user> sanjuan: this should point you in the right direction -> http://nixcraft.com/linux-software/469-ubuntu-linux-how-do-i-setup-print-quotas.html
[17:30] <javier__> phlak_user: http://pastebin.com/jyvJL6mw
[17:30] <tpyo_> i heard a while ago that there was a version of ubuntu that comes with a bunch of video editing and music editing apps
[17:30] <meowsus> wiredfool, you know what? You're right!
[17:30] <xibalba> DasEi : i'm use to BSD where you can lock down single user mode by asking for a password when single user mode starts
[17:30] <tpyo_> does anyone know what it is called?
[17:30] <Night_Elf> leex: Ah I see. Seems there is the upstart change of a sort. But I have no idea in this case.
[17:30] <grawity> Night_Elf: Ubuntu uses Upstart since 2006, which does not use inittab
[17:30] <xibalba> DasEi: as opposed to just letting them through w/out a password
[17:31] <quick-> phlak_user:   will it make the system unstable or something ??
[17:31] <phlak_user> javier__: /dev/sda8 on /media/Datos windows type ntfs is mounted readonly
[17:31] <_junior_bastos__> problems with wubi after first restart: "no wubildr" and "prefix is not set"
[17:31] <phlak_user> quick-: huh?
[17:31] <ivanoats> I have apt package ruby-json-pure installed but I'm trying to install chef and it's dependency is ruby-json and it's complaining with this error: https://gist.github.com/dfd34afc72d32bb3f536   ideas on resolving this?
[17:31] <javier__> phlak_user: ah, so that's it. But, how to change it?
[17:32] <DasEi> xibalba: which behaviour you want then ? single still selectable but with pass only ? no single ? password for whole grub ?
[17:32] <ActionParsnip> Night_Elf: no file here
[17:32] <Night_Elf> yes indeed grawity. So leex, What else I can see there is that there are some apparmor= messages, of which I again can make no sense of.
[17:32] <xibalba> single selectable with PASS
[17:32] <ivanoats> tpyo_:  http://medibuntu.org/
[17:32] <phlak_user> javier__: change the entry in /etc/fstab to rw from ro
[17:33] <leex> Night_Elf: ok, which one?
[17:33] <javier__> phlak_user: if you could asses me doing so... I'm not good in terminal
[17:33] <ivanoats> tpyo_: wait, that wasn't it.. .I know what you're thinking of
[17:33] <phlak_user> javier__: pastebin the ouptput of cat /etc/fstab
[17:33] <samthewildone> WOW
[17:34] <Night_Elf> leex: All of them. The idea is not that there is something wrong with those, rather that I can't interpret them, don't know apparmor. And those messages and your issue can be connected, that is a possibility.
[17:34] <samthewildone> just had a hearty lunch.
[17:34] <samthewildone> :)
[17:34] <ivanoats> tpyo_:  was it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Studio ?
[17:34]  * samthewildone is incapable of moving at the moment.
[17:34] <tpyo_> ty ivanoats
[17:34] <leex> Night_Elf: ok, I will ask in the devel channel, maybe they know something
[17:34] <tpyo_> ubuntu studio is the one :)
[17:34] <DasEi> xibalba: section 2 , http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1369019
[17:34] <Night_Elf> leex: oh well. Good luck then.
[17:35] <javier__> http://pastebin.com/LB04VZD0
[17:35] <javier__> phlak_user: http://pastebin.com/LB04VZD0
[17:36] <meowsus> wiredfool, it was the ppa repos for PIDGIN and F.Lux that don't have oneiric addresses
[17:36] <DasEi> xibalba: it's muche more simply to remove all single-entries, and I don't now if lockaleternatives in /etc/default/grub still works
[17:36] <meowsus> I disabled them and it is not throwing errors anymore
[17:36] <leex> Night_Elf: I will report my findings later
[17:36] <javier__> phlak_user: i went there with gedit, but I didn't find about "datos windows"
[17:36] <meowsus> Thanks for you help, wiredfool
[17:36] <phlak_user> javier__: how are you mounting the windows partition? i dont see it in fstab?
[17:36] <wiredfool> meowsus: yw
[17:36] <c_korn> hello, how can I debug DBUS? I have the problem if I open gedit with the dash and then run "gedit file" in the gnome-terminal that "file" gets opened in a new instance of gedit and not in a tab of the process I opened with dash before
[17:36] <Night_Elf> leex: It's ok. I will have to leave in about 15 mins anyhow. :)
[17:36] <shp> i've got a big problem: on my windows, i have no the top bar with the cross, reduce button etc...
[17:36] <c_korn> … and the gedit debug tells me "(gedit_dbus_run)" this is why I assume some problem inside of DBUS
[17:37] <javier__> phlak_user: it's not there. the only way I mount it is searching in its files with nautilus. I After I search in that partition, it is automatically mounted
[17:37] <leex> ok, thanks for your help
[17:37] <ActionParsnip> shp: press ALT+F2 and run:  unity --replace     I assume unity shell
[17:37] <phlak_user> javier__: you need to add an new entry like so -> UUID=EE7A331F7A32E3CD /media/dataos     ntfs    defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0       0
[17:37] <luist> why i cant install synaptic and xresprobe on my live usb ubuntu???
[17:37] <ActionParsnip> !info synaptic
[17:37] <ActionParsnip> !info xresprobe
[17:37] <phlak_user> javier__: first step is to find the uuid of the partition using blkid /dev/sda8
[17:38] <ActionParsnip> luist: enable universe repo
[17:38] <shp> thx ActionParsnip
[17:38] <Night_Elf> leex: no problem.
[17:38] <luist> ActionParsnip: ok :) how
[17:38] <ActionParsnip> luist: in software centre, or uncomment the lines in /etc/apt/sources.list
[17:38] <phlak_user> javier__: sorry sudo blkid /dev/sda8
[17:39] <luist> ActionParsnip: there are no commented lines in sources.list… just 4 lines
[17:39] <javier__> /dev/sda8: LABEL="Datos windows" UUID="01CBA80CC9A44110" TYPE="ntfs"
[17:39] <blognewb> hi guys ive been reading the guides online but i can't seem to grasp what "chroot" is exactly?
[17:39] <luist> ActionParsnip: main restricted
[17:39] <ericP> anyone have advice on a safe way to revert from 11.10 to 11.04?
[17:39] <ActionParsnip> luist: then use software centre
[17:39] <blognewb> so chroot is like a modified root user?
[17:39] <ActionParsnip> ericP: reinstall
[17:39] <blognewb> i meant user privilege
[17:39] <DasEi> blognewb: you can be on system and chroot in another to work like you where native in this environment
[17:40] <DasEi> !chroot
[17:40] <phlak_user> javier__:  UUID=01CBA80CC9A44110 /media/dataos    ntfs    defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0       0
[17:40] <phlak_user> javier__: add this line to the end of /etc/fstab
[17:40] <theishi> if i want to use a windows manager like notion or enlightment but also want to enjoy a nice looking display... which program do i need to run alongside? gnome-settings-daemon?
[17:40] <Jilly> Anyone know which packages installs the regular gnome 3  desktop?
[17:40]  * Jilly just doesn't like unity.
[17:40] <phlak_user> javier__: then create a directory called dataos under /media with sudo mkdir /media/dataos
[17:41] <iceroot> Jilly: gnome-shell
[17:41] <DasEi> gnome3 | Jilly:
[17:41] <Jilly> iceroot...thanks!!!
[17:41] <Night_Elf> blognewb: no. Chroot is like making a certain directory act as-if it is the root directory "/".   So chroot /this/directory will make /this/directory to behave as "/" for as long as you are in that command shell session.
[17:41] <DasEi> !gnome3 | Jilly:
[17:41] <luist> ActionParsnip: hm…its ok i copied the sources.list from my real ubuntu
[17:41] <luist> ActionParsnip: is that a problem?
[17:42] <DasEi> Jilly: I can understand you, rather use lubuntu/xubuntu or other
[17:42] <ericP> ActionParsnip, by safe, i meant somethign that would best preserve my configurations and sets of installed prog so pretty much anything is "safer" than reinstalling"
[17:42] <shp> what's new in last ubuntu version?
[17:42] <blognewb> Night_Elf can you also install files while chrooted?
[17:43] <Gentoo64> ericP: backup home
[17:43] <Jilly> I think unity is meant for netbooks or somesuch, but I even use gnome 3 on my netbook.
[17:43] <javier__> phlak_user: I did already both things
[17:43] <oCean> shp: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OneiricOcelot/ReleaseNotes
[17:43] <phlak_user> javier__: ok
[17:43] <dr_willis> unity is ment for all devices..
[17:43] <phlak_user> javier__: now just type sudo mount -a
[17:43] <ravn> hi folks, how does one speed up 11.10? the window management is increadibly slow!
[17:43] <kisil> Hey, I'm having network issues in 11.10, and I'm having trouble finding up-to-date docs. I used to understand the tools, but now dhclient has moved, and the GUI failures are opaque. When I reboot, I'm assigned an IP, but can't ping my router. When I disable my wireless and reenable via the settings GUI, it fails but doesn't give an error
[17:43] <shp> thx oCean
[17:43] <DasEi> Jilly:unity is aother approach for X, taste and usability dependent I#d say
[17:44] <javier__> phlak_user: just one thing: I added the line in fstab, but I can't save it
[17:44] <ravn> also how does one make the unity stuff zoom with the rest of screen with the compiz zoom?
[17:44] <phlak_user> javier__: only if you open it with sudo :)
[17:44] <javier__> phlak_user: ok :)
[17:44] <kisil> troubleshooting ideas?
[17:44] <Night_Elf> blognewb: Depends what lies under that directory that is being chrooted. And depends how you install them, while outside the chroot or while inside the chroot. think of it as a crude sort of "emulation of the root dir" and it depends what is there and how you access it.
[17:44] <ericP> shp, if you speak of 11.10, if you speak of 11.10, here are some issues to consider before upgrading: logitech USB headset doesn't work, no gnuserv package, menu bar not autohide-able or re-size-able, no desktop preview (indicator-)applet
[17:44] <phlak_user> kisil: why dont you sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog when the connection attempt is going on? youll get more transperancy
[17:45] <javier__> ok
[17:45] <ericP> mostly issues for long-time linux users
[17:45] <javier__> so I saved
[17:45] <bastidrazor> phlak_user, you don't need to sudo for reading the logs.
[17:45] <javier__> and I will mount it
[17:45] <Jilly> DasEi...I agree.  I'm sure some folks love unity.  I'd use it if I had to, but that's the beauty of linux...so much configuration available.
[17:45] <phlak_user> bastidrazor:  yes; but old habits die hard :)
[17:46] <natschil> Hi. I have downloaded a bunch of packages on one computer, some of which I would also like to install on another computer on the network. However, I do not want to dowload all of the packages again on the other computer, and the "Add downloaded packages" option in synaptic would install all of the packages that I downloaded, not just a subset of them. How could I accomplish this?
[17:46] <bastidrazor> phlak_user, heh
[17:46] <phlak_user> !aptoncd | natschil
[17:46] <dr_willis> natschil:  you could copy over the /var/cache/apt/  cache files. :)
[17:46] <ActionParsnip> ericP: do the things work in a clean install?
[17:46] <dr_willis> natschil:  you may want to looking setting up one pc on the lan as the 'apt-cacher-ng' server. to cache apt packages for the rest of thelan.
[17:46] <javier__> phlak_usr: so I did it (and previously unmounted, because it was mounted under "datos windows". And I get the message: "dataos seems to be mounted read-only"
[17:46] <DasEi> Jilly: y, I'll look into it time to time in vm, still it takes me too long to find things and footprint is still too large to me, but let's keep it free for support here
[17:47] <dr_willis> natschil:  the clone factoid has commands to install identical list of packages from pc1 onto pc2
[17:47] <phlak_user> javier__: can you pastebin the output of mount again please?
[17:47] <dr_willis> !clone
[17:47] <Jilly> DasEi...oh the gnome footprint?
[17:47] <natschil> dr_willis: I've done that, but once I add them with synaptic, synaptic wants to install all 2000 files.
[17:48] <DasEi> Jilly: #ubuntu-offtopic ?
[17:48] <kisil> phlak_user: Thanks. I connected while logging, and saw an error. NetworkManager changes state to need-auth, then I get <warn> No agents were available for this request.
[17:48] <natschil> !clone
[17:48] <dr_willis> natschil:  I just copy things to the cache, then install them as i would normally.
[17:48] <natschil> dr_willis: oh if that works, awesome.
[17:48] <phlak_user> kisil: ok so is it wired or wireless?
[17:48] <dr_willis> natschil:  be carefull with that clone commands.. you dont want to install the wrong video drivers for example.
[17:48] <kisil> But it doesn't prompt me for credentials; and they should be stored
[17:48] <javier__> http://pastebin.com/PhB3AR7W
[17:48] <kisil> phlak_user: wireless
[17:49] <poclsolnuh> hi all))))
[17:49] <javier__> phlak_user
[17:49] <javier__> phlak_user: http://pastebin.com/PhB3AR7W
[17:49] <phlak_user> javier__: i saw that it is mounted ro only
[17:49] <natschil> dr_willis: so do you copy /var/cache/apt or /var/cache/apt/archives?
[17:49] <phlak_user> kisil: do you have wpa-supplicant?
[17:50] <dr_willis> natschil:  Where all the .deb files are ag.
[17:50] <scwizard> I do -> svn import -m "message" "stuff to import" "repo url" --username myself --password mypass
[17:51] <javier__> yes, me too :) so... I had to change it to rw
[17:51] <scwizard> but for some reason everything that I import gets stuck with the svn:executable  property
[17:51] <scwizard> what might cause that?
[17:51] <kisil> phlak_user: yes, wpa-supplicatn is installed
[17:51] <javier__> phlak_user: but in fstad didn't we said "default". Where should I change ro?
[17:51] <dr_willis> night all...
[17:51] <natschil> dr_willis: okay thanks a lot!
[17:52] <phlak_user> javier__: oh yes, can you change the defaults to rw on that line?
[17:52] <c_korn> can someone reproduce this problem? 1) start gedit with dash 2) open gnome terminal 3) run "gedit file" 4) see "file" being opened in a new instance of gedit instead of a new tab
[17:53] <phlak_user> kisil: do you have a profile created for the network you are connecting to? if so, can you pl delete it and connect afresh?
[17:53] <javier__> phlak_user: so it would be rw,umask=007,gid=46? or shall I delete umask and gid things?
[17:53] <hwilde> how to stop iphone automount but allow other devices to automount?  a udev example would be nice maybe?  don't just say udev rules.
[17:54] <phlak_user> javier__: one more thing. can you paste the output of id?
[17:54] <ActionParsnip> hwilde: http://siliconbased.wordpress.com/2009/03/03/ignoring-devices-with-udev-rules/
[17:54] <Muloza> c_korn: Here it opens new instance.
[17:54] <phlak_user> javier__: so that we can confirm if 46 is plugdev
[17:54] <c_korn> Muloza: wonderful. so another one who can reproduce the problem ;)
[17:54] <hwilde> ActionParsnip, that is really not helpful
[17:55] <scwizard> bleh it reads the executable bit to tell that sort of nonsense
[17:55] <javier__> phlak_user: uid=1000(javier) gid=1000(javier) grupos=1000(javier),4(adm),20(dialout),24(cdrom),46(plugdev),112(lpadmin),120(admin),122(sambashare),124(vboxusers)
[17:55] <Muloza> c_korn: Is it really a problem because the default filename is 'file'?
[17:55] <kisil> phlak_user: where would that be stored? I don't have the wireless icon in the notification bar, and the settings tool has no way to do that
[17:55] <scwizard> I really need a better versioning system...
[17:55] <ActionParsnip> hwilde: it shows a udev rule you can add to ignore a device, isn't that what you need?
[17:55] <darius> Hello, can someone help me? I cannot install anything through the Ubuntu Software Centre.
[17:55] <javier__> pjlak_user: (although I don't know what's that about :)
[17:55] <javier__>  phlak_user: (although I don't know what's that about :)
[17:55] <phlak_user> javier__: ok 46 is indeed plugdev so you can only replace defaults with rw and let others be
[17:56] <c_korn> Muloza: there should not be two instances of gedit running for a user at any time. opening "file" with nautilus does not create a new instace
[17:56] <phlak_user> javier__: its a group that your user belongs to
[17:56] <c_korn> s/instace/instance/
[17:56] <darius> does anyone have any information on that?
[17:56] <Muloza> :)
[17:56] <ActionParsnip> darius: can you give a PASTEBIN of:  sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -f install
[17:56] <phlak_user> kisil: on network manager applet, there should be an option for ":edit connections", in the dialog that appears, click on wireless and delete the profiles
[17:56] <Somelauw> Bleh, doing make deb says: Unmet build dependencies: libixp-hg quilt. Is there some way to make aptitude or apt-get automatically install these dependencies?
[17:57] <darius> actionparsnip, yes i can if you tell me how
[17:57] <javier__> phlak_user: ok, so it's with "rw". But, shall I restart or something? So far, I still can't write in that partition
[17:57] <hwilde> ActionParsnip, the article is over 2 years old, the command "udevinfo" doesn't exist anymore, the example is for a block scsi device, I don't know what the equivalent to /sys/block/sdc is for an iphone...
[17:57] <phlak_user> javier__: you need to umount /dev/sda8 and then type mount -a again
[17:58] <kisil> phlak_user: I remember that dialog but I can't find it since the update to Unity.
[17:58] <ActionParsnip> darius: run the command and copy the text. go to http://pastie.org  paste the text there and hit paste, then when the page changes copy the new address bar address and paste that here
[17:58] <javier__> phlak_user: http://pastebin.com/UMAWqSQK   this is the final output of mount
[17:58] <ericP> ActionParsnip, re: clean install. fair point. didn't try
[17:59] <phlak_user> kisil: just click on the network icon in the system tray
[17:59] <kisil> phlak_user: like I said, that icon's missing.
[17:59] <darius> actionparsnip, here you go:http://pastie.org/2751808
[18:00] <ActionParsnip> hwilde: may help http://reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html#syntax
[18:00] <kisil> phlak_user: I don't know how to add it

[18:00] <phlak_user> kisil: does ps -fe|grep nm-applet show the process ?
[18:00] <CatKiller>  Hi there!
[18:00] <CatKiller>  probably not the right channel to ask this question, but maybe someone might know where to ask
[18:00] <CatKiller>  Here comes: Since kernel.org came back up, all of the "other" linux repos (like the LTS kernel, the stable branches, etc) are gone. The only one left is the linux top of the branch.
[18:00] <CatKiller>  Does anybody know where to get a mirror of those?
[18:00] <FloodBot1> CatKiller: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:00] <ActionParsnip> darius: http://pastie.org/2751814
[18:01] <phlak_user> javier__: can you pastebin the last few lines of dmesg where it shows the log of the mount process?
[18:01] <derp> hello
[18:01] <ActionParsnip> hwilde: http://wiki.debian.org/udev  may help too
[18:01] <Titmouse> Currently when a window is maximized the close, minimize and maximize buttons are hidden in the panel at the top left hand corner. I've removed the global menu but this only then shows the close minimize etc buttons when the window is not maximized.

[18:02] <Somelauw> What do I need libixp-hg for?
[18:02] <ericP> ActionParsnip, so the lack of agmuserv package is my biggest issue.
[18:02] <Somelauw> It is not in the list of packages and libix doesn't work.
[18:02] <CatKiller> Hi there! Don't know if my above message reached the channel so I'll send it again: Would anybody know where to find a mirror for kernel.org that contains the LTS branches as well as the various stable ones please?
[18:02] <javier__> phlak_user: sorry, better http://pastebin.com/M2rmxge4

[18:02] <hwilde> lol @ ActionParsnip
[18:02] <kisil> phlak_user: No, but running nm-applet helped. I'm now back to where I am on boot; IP assigned but can't ping router
[18:03] <hwilde> ActionParsnip,  "www.google.com might help too"
[18:03] <phlak_user> kisil: now can you go and edit the profiles?
[18:03] <hippiehacker> is there a way to set the default wallpaper (and to setup autologin) fully automated from a ubuntu seed file?
[18:03] <Somelauw> Anyone familiar with wmii 3.5?
[18:03] <ActionParsnip> hwilde: I doubt you will get an exact guide for what you desire, If you read the guides you can work out the syntaxes and work out your own syntax
[18:04] <ActionParsnip> hwilde: I use duckduckgo as well
[18:04] <phlak_user> javier__: ok i figured out that you have the ntfs driver with read-only support; can you install ntfs-3g?
[18:04] <Yogesh> Hello Everyone
[18:05] <TorbenBeta> Hello.
[18:05] <phlak_user> javier__: sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g
[18:05] <phlak_user> !info ntfs-3g | javier__
[18:05] <ActionParsnip> !msg ubottu !info network-manager
[18:05] <Yogesh> I was using Fedora and as new ubuntu was launched I tried shifting to ubuntu, but by mistake selected the option to install ubuntu deleting all partitions
[18:06] <Yogesh> Is there any way to recover my data
[18:06] <hwilde> ActionParsnip, I will just keep asking until someone figures it out
[18:06] <phlak_user> Yogesh: welcome to ubuntu :(
[18:06] <c_korn> Muloza: so you don't seem to be the DBUS debugger I hoped you to be ;)
[18:06] <Titmouse> ActionParsnip: I ran those commands from the page to provided & logged in & out again. Yet still when a window is maximized the close, minimise and maximise buttons still go into hiding?
[18:07] <BarkingFish> Yogesh, I'd say that's highly unlikely unfortunately.  Once you've written the new partitions, the chances are the file system will have changed, and killed any data on them.
[18:07] <kisil> phlak_user: Yes, I can. Deleting and recreating the connection didn't fix the problem. I still have an IP assigned, but can't ping the router
[18:07] <Yogesh> phlak_user thank you
[18:07] <phlak_user> kisil: can you pastebin the output of ifconfig
[18:07] <Yogesh> phlak_user: can you please help me
[18:07] <BarkingFish> Our default partition type I believe is Ext4, I have no idea what Fedora uses, but the chances are your data is most likely gone.
[18:07] <javier__> phlak_user: ah... didn't have that packets (although it's weird, I used to write in that partition before reinstalling windows...)
[18:07] <phlak_user> Yogesh: no one can; you're on a one-way street there
[18:07] <Muloza> c_korn: I Googled the problem, but I figured you probably did the same :P.
[18:08] <darius> actionparsnip, i ran all the commands but i still get the same error.
[18:08] <ActionParsnip> hwilde: I'm going to guess you are going to be waiting a long time
[18:08] <ActionParsnip> darius: tried changing software source in software centre?
[18:08] <BarkingFish> hwilde, what was your question?
[18:08] <darius> I have not. I am new to
[18:08] <javier__> phlak_user: once I installed that packet, shall I log out or something? I mounted and umounted but still can do it
[18:08] <darius> Linux
[18:08] <Yogesh> BarkingFish: I was using EXT4 for other partitions earlier
[18:09] <BarkingFish> On Fedora?
[18:09] <Yogesh> Yes
[18:09] <phlak_user> javier__: you need to change the partition type to ntfs-3g from ntfs in /etc/fstab
[18:09] <c_korn> Muloza: well, I can tell you that it is bug 777292
[18:09] <hanstech> hi all, when i remove gwibber, i am getting some notification about package broken.  how can i get rid of it.
[18:10] <hanstech> i dont want to remove ubuntu-desktop
[18:10] <javier__> ok. Shall i install ntfsprogs also?
[18:10] <Yogesh> BarkingFish: I dont know the pattion used for system files, but the data which was on other partitions used EXT4
[18:10] <jungle> #xubuntu
[18:10] <kisil> phlak_user: can't pastebin, I don't have a connection on that computer. But my broadcast and mask are correct, sent/received packets are incrementing. I haven an IPV6 address assigned, is that still broken?
[18:10] <darius> actionparsnip, here is the terminal http://pastie.org/2751867
[18:10] <BarkingFish> I'd still guess it's not gonna be possible to get your stuff back, normally during an install, the partitions are formatted.   b) output of route -n
[18:11] <hanstech> ActionParsnip, but next when i upgrade, it needs ubuntu-desktop to get correct package details rt?
[18:11] <phlak_user> shp: e2label
[18:11] <ActionParsnip> hanstech: you can always reinstall it then
[18:11] <luk_> Hi maybe somebody know MSI CR640 is supported by ubuntu 11.10 ? skype (sound and video)
[18:11] <jasef> I wonder
[18:11] <phlak_user> !hcl | luk_
[18:11] <jasef> Why does 12.04 have "Ubuntu 11.10" on the logon screen
[18:11] <Yogesh> BarkingFish: Please correct me if I m wrong, but isn't it right that while formatting only the link to the file is removed. The data remains there until new data is written to that memory block
[18:11] <gennaro> #rippers banlieue 13 ultimatum
[18:11] <javier__> phlak_user: ok. Shall i install ntfsprogs also?
[18:11] <ActionParsnip> darius: try changing from the US server.
[18:12] <shp> ty phlak_user
[18:12] <javier__> phlak_user: it's still not working
[18:12] <phlak_user> javier__: dont know what those do
[18:12] <javier__> phlak_user: ah, ok, just saw it mentioned in google
[18:12] <phlak_user> javier__: oh good
[18:13] <BarkingFish> Yogesh, I'm not sure that this is how it works. Maybe someone else could clarify that?  ActionParsnip - got any ideas?
[18:13] <moo-> how can i know what window manager is active?
[18:13] <kisil> phlak_user: not sure how to read that, but "<IP_ADDRESS> <IP_ADDRESS> <IP_ADDRESS> UG Metric:0 Ref:0 Use: 0 Iface wlan1 \n <IP_ADDRESS> <IP_ADDRESS> <IP_ADDRESS> U 2 0 0 wlan1 \n <IP_ADDRESS> <IP_ADDRESS> <IP_ADDRESS> U 1000 0 0 wlan1"
[18:13] <phlak_user> javier__: just umount it manually and mount it back -> sudo umount /dev/sda8 ; sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda8 /media/dataos
[18:13] <Yogesh> phlak_user: Can you please suggest some good free recovery tool as I tried using a program using Stellar that shows that files are there.
[18:14] <kisil> phlak_user: Not sure about the last line but I'll investigate that later.
[18:14] <ibqn> I can not mount my ubuntu notebook any more after power supply interruption. it says mount: mounting /dev.../ on/root failed
[18:14] <javier__> phlak_user: ok, now I can. But it's only for root user. I guess I can run nautilus as root and change permissions there so I can write things with my user
[18:14] <darius> actionparsnip, that worked for the update, but what should i do about the software center? I can get into it and open things but when I click on install nothing at all happens
[18:14] <ibqn> I landed in initramfs ((((
[18:14] <phlak_user> javier__: just change the ownership of the /media/dataos directory to your user using chown
[18:14] <ActionParsnip> moo-: ps -ef | egrep 'unity|metacity|kwin|openbox'   should cover it
[18:14] <ibqn> there is not /etc/fstab file any more
[18:14] <Yogesh> BarkingFish: Thank you for your time and help
[18:14] <ibqn> any ideas what is going on?
[18:15] <phlak_user> kisil: what is your ip address?
[18:15] <charas> My ubuntu 10.04 always disconnects from WiFi when it's on battery power. Any idea why?
[18:15] <ActionParsnip> ibqn: there needs to be an fstab file dude
[18:15] <BarkingFish> no problem, Yogesh - sorry i couldn't assist you further
[18:15] <ActionParsnip> charas: any bugs reported with acpi?
[18:15] <jwtiyar> all files in such a folder has permission , how to give 0777 ?
[18:15] <phlak_user> charas: tail -f /var/log/syslog when you connect to battery power should throw up some information
[18:16] <TorbenBeta> What is the path to the rubbish bin on Gnome classic?
[18:16] <moo-> ActionParsnip, there is mutter, compiz, etc
[18:16] <phlak_user> jwtiyar: chmod -R (to recurse)
[18:16] <BarkingFish> charas, depends on what wifi you have in your laptop, some have built in power management to go to sleep when battery is on or getting low
[18:16] <javier__> phlak_user: how to use chown?
[18:16] <darius> actionparsnip, thank you so much for all your help.
[18:16] <kisil> phlak_user: <IP_ADDRESS>. Router is at <IP_ADDRESS>. This machine is at <IP_ADDRESS> so I'm pretty sure the network's otherwise OK
[18:16] <phlak_user> javier__: sudo chown user.user directory
[18:17] <ibqn> any way how to repair my system
[18:17] <ActionParsnip> moo-: you get the idea?
[18:17] <javier__> phlak_user: something like "sudo chown javier.javier /media/dataos"?
[18:17] <phlak_user> kisil: are you able to ping this machine (.11) from that machine (.13) ?
[18:17] <diki> how do i disable the screen locking when the pc is not used with 11.10?
[18:17] <phlak_user> javier__: yes
[18:18] <moo-> ActionParsnip, yes, but there should be some other way
[18:18] <ActionParsnip> phlak_user: sudo chown -R user:user /home/user
[18:18] <phlak_user> diki: power management
[18:18] <kisil> phlak_user: no. I can't ping any other device on the network
[18:18] <ActionParsnip> moo-: thats one way I can think of
[18:18] <phlak_user> ActionParsnip: ok thats for the OP
[18:18] <DasEi> diki: system > settings > screensaver
[18:18] <ActionParsnip> phlak_user: you#ll get an error about /home/user/.gvfs  but its fine
[18:18] <phlak_user> ActionParsnip: and '.' in place of ':' also works
[18:18] <jwtiyar> phlak_user, didnt work http://paste.ubuntu.com/718114/
[18:19] <ActionParsnip> phlak_user: ahhh, neat (learned something new :))
[18:19] <nardev> can someone suggest me good alternative to istanbul or camatasia?
[18:19] <javier__> phlak_user: still not working... only access as root. And I see that only root and root group has ownership
[18:19] <phlak_user> jwtiyar: sudo chmod -R 0777 directory
[18:19] <kisil> phlak_user: same thing in the opposite directon; other machines can't see .13
[18:20] <phlak_user> javier__: first umount it and then change ownership and then remount
[18:21] <llutz> javier__: you cannot chown/chmod on ntfs. use mount-options like "uid, gid, umask" for that
[18:21] <phlak_user> kisil: are you able to run tcpdump on .13 machine and see whats going on?
[18:21] <ibqn> Any way how to repair my system?
[18:22] <ibqn> Is there a repair function on the 8.04 cd?
[18:22] <javier__> phlak_user: ok! done! It was hard, but solved
[18:22] <javier__> phlak_user: thanks a lot!
[18:22] <phlak_user> javier__: ok what did you do?
[18:22] <DasEi> ibqn: on the desktop version, yes
[18:22] <Somelauw> Where can I find the libixp-hg package. I need to compile wmii from source?
[18:23] <ibqn> DasEi, how to get to it?
[18:23] <javier__> phlak_user: just what you said. Chown while it was umounted
[18:23] <DasEi> ibqn: don't  forget to upgrade to 10.04 least, one step is possible
[18:23] <phlak_user> javier__: oh ok :)
[18:23] <kisil> phlak_user: no suitable device found.
[18:23] <javier__> phlak_user: then I mounted it and permissions are change and I have access. So, thanks very much!
[18:23] <phlak_user> kisil: sudo tcpdump -i wlan1
[18:23] <ibqn> DasEi, I use lts versions
[18:23] <DasEi> ibqn: err, alternate cd it is, you can chooses from grub
[18:23] <phlak_user> javier__: yw
[18:24] <ibqn> DasEi, I ahve mounted a cd and dot not see such an option
[18:24] <DasEi> ibqn: booted alternate cd ?
[18:25] <DasEi> ibqn: what is the real problem with that hardy install ?
[18:25] <javier__> how to automatically have the name of the person you are talking to by pressing one key in this chat? (I remember in kubuntu IRC was with tab)
[18:25] <ibqn> DasEi, I can not mount my ubuntu notebook any more after power supply interruption. it says mount: mounting /dev.../ on/root failed
[18:25] <phlak_user> javier__: tab here too (depends on client)
[18:25] <kisil> phlak_user: haha thanks. It runs, but reports no activity on ping, even in -vv mode
[18:25] <DasEi> javier__: same, need the enough matching chars first, though
[18:26] <ibqn> DasEi, I landed in initramfs (((( and the /etc/fstab is gone
[18:27] <phlak_user> kisil: im not clear about something; why is your wireless called wlan1 (do you have another wifi card/stick called wlan0 too?)
[18:27] <kisil> phlak_user: actually, it's reporting occasional dns requsts from dropbox :-)
[18:27] <phlak_user> kisil: it must be the other way, your machine is reaching out to dropbox
[18:27] <TorbenBeta> Can anyone tell how to remove a folder per terminal? sudo rm does not work.
[18:27] <kisil> phak_user: No, and I'm not clear on that either.
[18:27] <javier__> phlak_user, DasEi : ok! thanks :)
[18:27] <phlak_user> TorbenBeta: rm -fr
[18:27] <ActionParsnip> TorbenBeta: rm -r folder
[18:28] <kisil> phlak_user: yes, I mean dropbox on my machine calling home; sorry if that was unclear. I don't know why it's wlan1 either.
[18:28] <TorbenBeta> Thank you.
[18:28] <phlak_user> TorbenBeta: use carefully!
[18:28] <DasEi> ibqn: can't boot so , ic , easiest ( as of fastest) might be backup personal data and reinstall lucid or later; else can boot desktop cd and chroot into broken sys, reasemble, though power outage usually won't take off fstab, that's either bad FS or a bigger prob you got then
[18:28] <ActionParsnip> phlak_user: why force?
[18:28] <TorbenBeta> phlak_user, what do you mean?
[18:28] <phlak_user> ActionParsnip: habit :) also i normally have rm aliased to rm -i
[18:28] <Polah> TorbenBeta, rmdir <directory> on an empty directory or rm -r <directory> on a non-empty folder. Be careful though, you don't want to delete more than you want.
[18:28] <satana> ciao

[18:29] <Calumet> hi guys, got some overheating issue here with my ati hd 4800 running 11.10, i am using FGLRX graphics driver, tried ccc but got the same issue with it too, screen is black, music stops and fan on 100%, this happens when i start games like WoW aswell as in Quakelive (in longer sessions)
[18:29] <phlak_user> ActionParsnip: ;)
[18:29] <bobweaver> Calumet:  is fan clogged up ?
[18:29] <IRsee> to delete a directory in linux that is owned by the root user you would do the following "sudo rm -rf /path/to/directory/" if you own the directory you do not require sudo in the front of the command.
[18:30] <Calumet> any suggestions? +1000 internets for the hereo that can solve this
[18:30] <bobweaver> Calumet: the radiator ?

[18:32] <heslam> ActionParsnip: cool, thanks. i'll look into that. seems like the kind of thing that should be possible for 12.04 though - dragging from firefox URL to launcher and the website favicon used as an icon. :)

[18:35] <lowtax> how are they different?
[18:36] <alaing> lowtax for low spec machines
[18:36] <ActionParsnip> Lowtax: different default desktop and app list
[18:36] <thoeger> Hi folks, I have ugly onterface font rendering in Thunderbird/Firefox. When I run them from a different account, they look fine. Probably some messing around Iøve done way back, but is ther any way I can get it all nice and smooth again? Like, any settings file to delete, any about:config -ish knob to turn?
[18:37] <usr13> thoeger: You can set back to default
[18:37] <thoeger> lowtax, easiest way to see the difference is to go to the web sites and see the screenshots etc.
[18:37] <ActionParsnip> lowtax: the web will tell you waaay more than i can. In short, gnome isn't the only desktop
[18:37] <thoeger> usr13, how do I do that?
[18:37] <lowtax> ActionParsnip, is there an ubuntu that has all the desktops
[18:38] <usr13> thoeger: Delete your profile in ~/.mozilla/firefox/
[18:38] <Gentoo64> lowtax: you can install other desktops
[18:38] <DasEi> lowatax:core in ubu is always same, can have wm/surface of your choice, now visit distrowatch :)
[18:38] <Gentoo64> lowtax: there isnt one with them all installed
[18:38] <ActionParsnip> Lowtax: xpud isn't ubuntu based but you can use its packages to make opt files for apps. It boots very fast
[18:38] <thoeger> usr13, won't that delete my booksmarks, history etc too?
[18:39] <lowtax> ActionParsnip, ok ill try that since mark shuttleworth is the devil, thanks
[18:39] <darius> Hello, I'm having issues again. When I do an apt-get upgrade it says"Reading Package Lists... Done" cy tree... 50% then nothing else happens

[18:39] <ActionParsnip> lowtax: you can install all the desktops you want on your current install. You then choose the session at login

[18:40] <mykey0815> I want install Ubuntu 10.04 per this script: http://paste.ubuntu.com/717983/ - but the hostname and IP-Address will be not set. The use DHCP-Values. What is wrong?
[18:40] <jcook_5xdata> thoeger, dont do that it will delet everything
[18:40] <DasEi> kisil: does your router provide dhcp ?
[18:40] <alaing> Hi I need a startup script to run sudo /opt/coldfusion9/bin start when my ubuntu server edition starts in the morning. how can i do this? I tried http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1404457 but it didn't work
[18:41] <darius> Does anyone have any idea how to fix that?
[18:41] <kisil> DasEi: yes.
[18:41] <snark> How would I go about seeing the total size of the contents of a directory instead of just the size of the directory file itself from the commandline?  I can't figure out howto with any file or ls options.
[18:41] <DasEi> kisil: open a terminal ..
[18:41] <thoeger> jcook_5xdata, Thanks... Any idea how I can do it less drastically?
[18:41] <DasEi> alaing: does this cmd work if you enter it in terminal after starting up ?
[18:41] <ActionParsnip> alaing: add it in/etc/rc.local  above the exit 0 line and it will run at boot
[18:42] <jcook_5xdata> thoeger, you are having font smoothing problems
[18:42] <DasEi> kisil: sudo dhclient
[18:42] <kisil> DasEi: I used to know what I'm doing, you can shorthand a little. I'm just lost since init.d changed
[18:42] <DasEi> kisil: again : ifconfig, ip assigned ?
[18:42] <uglyandstupid_> where does iptable rule file is located in 11.10 please ? i'd like to add some rules to it http://pastebin.com/ZRhsyTb3
[18:42] <usr13> kisil: you've been assigned an IP and you can't ping your router?  You sure you are explaining this right?
[18:42] <thoeger> jcook_5xdata, yep. Only on one account on my computer though.
[18:42] <b636bc7ca> I just completed a 'do-release-upgrade' from 11.04 to 11.10, but it didn't move me to a 3.0 kernel, and I'd like to migrate. What is the package name for the 3.0 kernel?
[18:42] <alaing> DasEi: yes it does start
[18:42] <leex> usr13: I fixed my bug, it was due to sysv-rc-conf a rc editor, it put a symlink to single in rc2
[18:42] <Gentoo64> snark: try du -sh /
[18:42] <ActionParsnip> snark:
[18:42] <kisil> usr13: I'm as confused as you are.
[18:42] <DasEi> usr13: no ip assigned in his/her last pastebin
[18:42] <thoeger> jcook_5xdata, in a fresh, almost mint account, no problems.
[18:42] <darius> Here is what the terminal says. http://pastie.org/2752061
[18:42] <alaing> ActionParsnip: Hi, i'll take a look and see if its included
[18:43] <usr13> kisil: sudo dhclient wlan1
[18:43] <rumpe1> b636bc7ca, you have to reboot to use a different kernel than the current one
[18:43] <b636bc7ca> rumpe1: Done that
[18:43] <ActionParsnip> Snark: du -h folder   the last line is the size of 'folder'
[18:43] <necreo> shouldn't NTFS volumes (external harddisk) be automounted when plugged in? it used to do this, but not anymore since 11.10 here
[18:43] <b636bc7ca> rumpe1: It's still only showing my 11.04 kernel in the grub menu
[18:43] <DasEi> alaing: gksu gedit /etc/rc.local, put it without sudo in the line before the last, save, try a reboot
[18:43] <rumpe1> b636bc7ca, then do "sudo update-grub"
[18:44] <futureleader> GUYS
[18:44] <snark> Thanks guys =)
[18:44] <futureleader> just installed ubuntu 11.10
[18:44] <Gentoo64> necreo: i think youll need to add to fstab
[18:44] <usr13> DasEi: We cant tell from that paste because it is the output of iwconfig, not ifconfig
[18:44] <kisil> usr13, DasEi: Router is at <IP_ADDRESS>, correctly assigned as gateway; IP assigned is <IP_ADDRESS>. sudo dhclient gives "Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8) utility, e.g. service smdb reload....  RTNETLINK answers: FIle exists."
[18:44] <futureleader> not when i download flash player its get stuck on applying changes
[18:44] <b636bc7ca> rumpe1: Ah - that did it, I saw /boot/vmlinuz-3.0.0-12-generic fly by. Thanks!
[18:44] <necreo> Gentoo64: since when? rather cumbersome to do this for every external device + ubuntu boot will halt when it's not present
[18:45] <ActionParsnip> futureleader: try: sudo apt-get clea
[18:45] <DasEi> usr13, kisil: (no2 rather) : pastebin ifconfig
[18:45] <ActionParsnip> Oops
[18:45] <Gentoo64> necreo: i think they get mounted when clicked in nautilus otherwise
[18:45] <alaing> ActionParsnip DasEi  just added it and retarting
[18:45] <usr13> kisil: sudo iwlist scanning ; sudo dhclient wlan1
[18:45] <kisil> DasEi: I'm typing this out by hand; can you ask for the relevant parts?
[18:45] <DasEi> alaing: report back ? :)
[18:45] <andril> hello
[18:45] <ActionParsnip> futureleader: sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get -f install
[18:46] <jcook_5xdata> thoeger, what I would do is remove the .mozzila it to what ever then start up firefox  see if it better.
[18:46] <DasEi> kisil: just see if any interface has an ip assiggned
[18:46] <usr13> kisil: sudo iwlist wlan1 scanning ; sudo dhclient wlan1
[18:46] <ActionParsnip> jcook_5xdata: re
[18:46] <thoeger> Yeah maybe...
[18:46] <julian__> Any suggestions for a rackable 1-2U server.   It will run ubuntu, need terabyte of storage and a raid controller.  2 drives would be fine for mirroring.  Consumer electronics would be fine.  Suggestions?
[18:46] <DasEi> kisil: have you tried wired also ? cable set ?
[18:46] <kisil_> timeout, sorry
[18:46] <ActionParsnip> jcook_5xdata: renaming is less destructive
[18:46] <usr13> kisil: Yes, if you issue ifconfig with no arguments you will be shown your IP assignment and the route and netmask etc.
[18:47] <necreo> Gentoo64: no, it keeps telling me: "Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with: mount: only root can.."
[18:47] <DasEi> julian__: wrong chan, rather #hardware; pro ? hp proliant or such
[18:47] <jcook_5xdata> thoeger, my bad I meant rename
[18:47] <usr13> kisil: sudo iwlist wlan1 scanning ; sudo dhclient wlan1   #What does this do?
[18:47] <futureleader> ActionParsnip: dude I can tinstall again one istall stuck all othe rwait
[18:47] <julian__> DasEi:  Thanks. I will move over to hardware
[18:47] <ActionParsnip> julian__: look for: ubuntu certified   online. It will say what works and doesnt
[18:47] <DasEi> julian__: also see :
[18:47] <DasEi> !hcl
[18:47] <jcook_5xdata> I told him not to remove early
[18:47] <kisil_> usr13: Yeah, and that looks OK. IP is <IP_ADDRESS>, Bcast <IP_ADDRESS>, Mask <IP_ADDRESS>. All correct as expected. There's an IPv6 address too
[18:47] <futureleader> ActionParsnip: help
[18:48] <futureleader> i will try reinstall my copy of ubuntu
[18:48] <thoeger> jcook_5xdata, yeah I was going to do that
[18:48] <futureleader> its get stuck on applying changes they didnt fix it
[18:48] <DasEi> kisil: any blocking fw installed installed ? tried ping as sudo ? what does nmap say ?
[18:48] <usr13> kisil_: Is the essid correct?
[18:48] <jcook_5xdata> thoeger, if it is does fix it then copy the chrome folder out of the new .mozzila\firefox\profile folder and paste it in your old folder replacing the bad one
[18:49] <kisil_> usr13 iwlist shows a bunch of networks, mine included. dhclient gives the error I typed earlier
[18:49] <kisil_> usr13: yes, essid is correct.
[18:49] <usr13> "--correct ESSID--" ?
[18:49] <bobweaver> what is interface kisil_? wlan0 1 ??
[18:49] <kisil_> usr13: I did check the basic stuff before coming here, though you're right to ask :-)
[18:49] <thoeger> jcook_5xdata, but if the new chrome file is also bad?
[18:50] <usr13> kisil_: Ok, then, if the essid is what it should be, just do:  sudo dhclient wlan1
[18:50] <thoeger> It doesn't fix the font rendering problems
[18:50] <kisil_> usr13: dhclient gives a deprecated message and the error "RTNETLINK answers: File exists"
[18:50] <jcook_5xdata> thoeger, not possible if there is no .mozzila folder firefox will recreate it with defaults
[18:51] <usr13> kisil_: route -n    #What does that say?
[18:51] <alaing> DasEi: didn't work but it helps if i typed the command in properly :P just rebooting again
[18:51] <DDR> Hello. So, I've got a little shortcut to Baobab in my menu bar, as seen here: http://www.pasteall.org/pic/19504
[18:51] <kisil_> usr13: that's also correct.
[18:51] <DDR> How do I get rid of it?
[18:51] <jcook_5xdata> thoeger, then it not the chrome folder. try is the terminal sudo apt-get install firefox --reinstall
[18:51] <usr13> kisil_: host av.com
[18:52] <DDR> I'm using "the latest" version of Ubuntu, and Gnome classic.
[18:52] <thoeger> Yep. None the less, I restarted it and  othing had changed
[18:52] <usr13> kisil_: host av.com  #Does that give you IP address info for av.com?
[18:52] <DDR> I put the icon there by dragging it from my menu, but now I can't drag it back.
[18:52] <kisil_> usr13: timeout, no servers could be reached
[18:52] <futureleader> guys
[18:52] <thoeger> jcook_5xdata,  (Also, the problem is the same in Thunderbird)
[18:52] <alaing> DasEi: Yes it worked!!! thanks for you help much appreciated
[18:53] <DasEi> !alaing: nice, have autostart
[18:53] <DasEi> hehe
[18:53] <usr13> kisil_: Don't know what to tell you then.
[18:53] <futureleader> uhm i have added facbook chat to the empathy messenger NOW how do i make a nother account pls he;lp
[18:53] <Somelauw> Do packages for lucid or karmic usually work on maverick?
[18:53] <darius> Hello can someone help me with this? I'm having bad issues. http://pastie.org/2752107
[18:54] <usr13> kisil_: Is your IP address within the same subnet as the router?
[18:54] <Somelauw> Here is the package I need: https://launchpad.net/aglione-k/+archive/ppa
[18:54] <auronandace> Somelauw: no, you shouldn't mix version packages
[18:54] <DDR> futureleader: Click your name, go to 'online accounts', and hit the plus button near the bottom.
[18:54] <usr13> kisil_: (Without specific information, it is hard to solve network connection problems.)
[18:54] <kisil_> usr13: Yeah, the IP is in the same subnet. I'm connected on this machine from <IP_ADDRESS>
[18:54] <jrib> Somelauw: no, not in general.
[18:55] <Somelauw> auronandace: How do I get a working version of this. In the repository there is a version 3.6 but I have trouble configuring it.
[18:55] <Fever> darius: What Ubuntu are you using? re, how old is it?
[18:55] <usr13> kisil_: Then it IS communicating via the network.  Right?
[18:55] <kisil_> usr13: No. The machine I'm typing on now is
[18:55] <jrib> Somelauw: why not just upgrade your ubuntu?
[18:55] <darius> fever, it is ubuntu 11.10 i believe
[18:55] <kisil_> usr13: the machine in question, next to it, is not.
[18:55] <futureleader> clcik on my name???
[18:55] <futureleader> where Im using ubuntu 11.10
[18:55] <futureleader> its too new i duno what going on
[18:56] <usr13> kisil_: I'm confused. You said, "I'm connected on this machine from <IP_ADDRESS>"
[18:56] <darius> yes 11.10 oneric
[18:56] <auronandace> Somelauw: i don't know, i've never used it
[18:56] <Fever> darius: Can it bee that you dont have any updates do download? or that is the problem?
[18:56] <Somelauw> jrib: I am afraid it will break important stuff or is that risk minimal. I installed lots of packages that use this specific ubuntu version.
[18:56] <kisil_> usr13: but I say that to indicate that the network is working fine, the machine seems not to be. "This machine" i'm typing on is at .11. I'm asking about the machine at .13
[18:57] <darius> fever, It downloads the updates then when I got to install or upgrade it just says cy... 50%
[18:57] <futureleader> DDR: OK you can only add google, i want to add IRC to my chat PLEASE
[18:57] <auronandace> darius: what are you trying to do?
[18:57] <usr13> kisil_: What wireless network interface is in it?  (What does "lspci |grep ireless" say about it?)
[18:57] <DDR> I can't help you there, futureleader. Sorry.
[18:57] <DDR> I've got the same problem.
[18:57] <futureleader> anyone else know how i can with Ubuntus crap new instnat messegner add a new account
[18:58] <jrib> Somelauw: well you're going to have to face the issue eventually since maverick will be unsupported after the next release.  What packages are you referring to?  Are they not available in natty/oneiric?  I also just reread your question.  You want to take a package from an older version to a newer version?
[18:58] <fartman> ran do-release-upgrade in tty1, screen spamming: 'xset: unable to open display""', can I kill/restart safely?
[18:58] <jrib> fartman: seems like you have no choice
[18:58] <kisil_> usr13: lspci shows it as 01:0a.0 Network controller: Ralink corp. RT2800 802.11n PCI
[18:58] <fartman> jrib, kill or restart?
[18:59] <thoeger> jcook_5xdata, also no result when moving .thunderbird. Also, no result from reinstalling firefox (didn't think so though, as it works fine in another account at same computer)
[18:59] <darius> auronandace, I am trying to install things from the ubuntu software store, but I can't install anything, when it lets me press the install button, it crashes right before it installs all the way, but most of the time it wont let me press install at all.
[18:59] <Somelauw> jrib: Yes, but I am afraid I will have to spend some time reconfiguring everything again.
[18:59] <auronandace> darius: i tend to use synaptic rather than the software centre
[18:59] <futureleader> GUYS
[18:59] <jrib> Somelauw: why?  Upgrades keep your configuration
[18:59] <futureleader> who knows empath messenger?
[19:00] <futureleader> Please help
[19:00] <jrib> fartman: if it's been going on for a while, I would just kill the process
[19:00] <darius> auronandace, yes that wouldn't ne am issue, but i can't isntall it without the software centre right?
[19:00] <Chotaz> Hey everyone, is it possible to have a pure gnome3 look on ubuntu 11.10?
[19:00] <usr13> kisil_: Is rt2800 an internal Wireless NIC on a laptop?  Or is it a desktop?

[19:01] <kisil_> usr13: it's a desktop. It's an internal PCI card. It was also working great two days ago
[19:01] <futureleader> works
[19:01] <FloodBot1> futureleader: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:01] <helo> i used a chroot from another install to uninstall lightdm so i just get a console login, and it now just sits forever at the framebuffer "loaded" screen (animation stopped)
[19:01] <Chotaz> jrib, ive installed gnome shell, and relogged with the Gnome option selected for interface, but I see exactly the same as with unity, only in a different color scheme
[19:01] <DDR> Oh, nice! Thanks, futureleader. :)
[19:01] <futureleader> no  idont
[19:01] <futureleader> sorry
[19:02] <helo> how can i disable the framebuffer graphical boot, so it's just a standard console boot and login: prompt?
[19:02] <futureleader> excited ubuntu 11.10 is relaly cool better then Windows 7
[19:02] <Somelauw> But karma and lucid are older versions anyway, although the next version of ubuntu could have a newer version in its package manager.
[19:02] <usr13> kisil_: What happened between 2days ago and today?  (Same kernel etc....?)
[19:02] <futureleader> Ubuntu 11.10>windows 7
[19:02] <DDR> Chotaz: Try whatever is labeled 'classic'?
[19:02] <futureleader> DDR: do you agree
[19:02] <Chotaz> DDR, be right back then.
[19:02] <DDR> Yes, but worryingly close.
[19:02] <Fever> futureleader: Wait for it, soon you will see the big picture....

[19:21] <futureleader> This new Ubuntu 11.10 is really awesome.

[19:22] <DasEi> david89457: hm, not sure if that'll work, as you woulld have to call it early in upstart then, will need an own entry, and idk if that works at all (not loaded dependencies at such early time), then you will rather have to alter upstart's sequenze itself

For Ubuntu Linux, I use the "Nautilus" file manager (graphical GUI for file/folder management) -- it's not good for creating files/folders under the folder I'm currently highlighting--it always places new items at the top folder level instead (ugh).  Anybody using a better graphical file manager?
[19:39] <locsmif_> was a fresh install, I haven't done anything of importance to it yet
[19:39] <Younder> ari-tczew, don't.. Keep using evolution. Thunderbird only makes sense if you are not reliant on keeping appointments with buisness realations
[19:39] <locsmif_> Only thing I did was upgrade
[19:39] <locsmif_> I did check iptables -L -v -n
[19:39] <Younder> locsmif_, then evolution is still there
[19:39] <locsmif_> There were no rules defined

[19:42] <iceroot> locsmif_: yes :(
[19:43] <ravn1> auronandace: I have installed gnome-shell, but when I chose the GNOME entry in gdm, I still end up with unity...
[19:43] <iceroot> locsmif_: i was also seeing something like that on a aid-controller
[19:43] <d1j0n> http://paste.ubuntu.com/718186/
[19:43] <iceroot> locsmif_: raid
[19:43] <locsmif_> iceroot: I chose Ubuntu because of its excellent hardware support ;-)
[19:43] <Polah> gmazza: Never noticed that in Windows either.
[19:43] <guntbert> david89457: you can/should add yourself to "people affected by this bug", so that it will get more "weight"
[19:43] <david89457> done
[19:43] <iceroot> locsmif_: i think then its a good idea to open a bug against the kernel
[19:43] <Younder> ari-tczew, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-import-your-mails-from-evolution-to-thunderbird.html
[19:43] <Polah> gmazza: double click, right click, new folder. Unless you're making a folder without the intention to go there
[19:43] <auronandace> ravn1: gdm? are you using 11.10? if so, you should have lightdm
[19:43] <iceroot> !bug | locsmif_
[19:44] <locsmif_> iceroot: yeah .... everything is slanted towards Windows, their drivers are functional, it's the Wintel/OEM racketeering alliance.. :(
[19:44] <Jackneill> http://www.iestolemylife.com/
[19:44] <locsmif_> iceroot: okay, I will write a bug report soon
[19:44] <iceroot> locsmif_: nice
[19:44] <iceroot> Jackneill: no need that here
[19:44] <ravn1> auronandace: ok, it's 11.10, didn't know that it's not gdm, anyway, the bahavior is there non the less, con not log in and get gnome-shell...

[19:48] <frenocha> so, no one has managed to figure out a way to change the trash bin keyboard shortcut in 11.10? :(

[19:48] <neglogic> RVM Ruby Version Manager
[19:48] <iceroot> yggdrasil: no
[19:48] <locsmif_> usr13: if that website works, I owe you one
[19:48] <Younder> iceroot, alien translates between rpm and deb
[19:48] <iceroot> yggdrasil: unitiy is the old netbook-remix
[19:48] <usr13> d1j0n: So which one is giving you the problem?
[19:49] <iceroot> Younder: i know what alien is, he wrote "rvm" which can be lvm or rpm
[19:49] <d1j0n> usr13:not listed.
[19:49] <Younder> iceroot, NOT always perfectly
[19:49] <usr13> locsmif_: I like pizza and beer
[19:49] <d1j0n> usr13:it creates a /dev/bus/usb/00x folder but nothing else
[19:49] <yggdrasil> iceroot, thanks.
[19:49] <usr13> d1j0n: What kind of device is it?
[19:49] <locsmif_> usr13: noted =)
[19:49] <Younder> iceroot, There is a 'rvm'?
[19:50] <d1j0n> usr13: dmesg doesn't list anything aside from disconnect  sandisk 16gb
[19:50] <iceroot> Younder: he wrote "rvm" and i asked if he means "rpm" or "lvm"
[19:50] <usr13> d1j0n: What kind of device is it?
[19:51] <d1j0n> usr13: sandisk 16gb USB
[19:51] <Younder> iceroot, I am sure he realizes this now
[19:51] <usr13> d1j0n: What kind of device is it?
[19:51] <manas_> hi

[19:55] <blip-> It can't connect to my home network and this little system tray icon program is horrible

[19:56] <Titmouse> Is this because I'm using Unity2D?

[20:20] <christina> does someone know a pic or video about the BFS(brain f** sched) sequence?
[20:21] <MonkeyDust> daviddoria: in a terminal, type apt-cache search package
[20:21] <badapple> hi guys =)
[20:21] <Anon42> the searchbar from ubuntuo software center dissappeard... how can i fade it in
[20:21] <badapple> can you help me with a driver installation ?
[20:22] <daviddoria> MonkeyDust, sure, but I am wondering why it is not appearing in the software center
[20:22] <Younder> Christina: cool down
[20:22] <daviddoria> Anon42, it sounds like we have exactly the same problem!
[20:22] <Younder> Christina: We can work this out
[20:22] <amh345> im trying to share folders between ubuntu machines on my home network.  what's the best way to do this?  when i click on share it asks me to install the Windows network.   but i dont have a windows machine.
[20:22] <Anon42> daviddoria: "good" to hear
[20:23] <Anon42> daviddoria: you got any informations why that happened?
[20:23] <bluenemo> amh345, sshfs
[20:23] <daviddoria> Anon42, nope, just with the new 11.10 and the new software center
[20:23] <ZeitFight> amb345: I think you can try Samba as well
[20:23] <ZeitFight> amb345: I think you can try Samba as well
[20:23] <bluenemo> samba would take ages (compared) to set up. sshfs is installed and ready in a minute
[20:24] <linxeh> amh345: between ubuntu machines, sshfs and nfs are the best bets
[20:24] <Anon42> daviddoria: did you tried to search from the menubar?
[20:24] <IRsee> :amh345: why not just use ssh and browse sfpt with filezilla
[20:24] <linxeh> samba is utterly wrong for a unix environment
[20:24] <IRsee> or NFS
[20:24] <daviddoria> Anon42,  I dont have a menu bar because i'm in gnome fallback
[20:24] <ZeitFight> bluenemo: Does samba work with Windows?
[20:24] <BirdOfPrey> hi all!
[20:24] <Kris> Hey people. I need help starting up Ubuntu. Awhile back I tried installing from just exe. and it worked. But at startup my screen froze at all these diffrent colors
[20:25] <bluenemo> as far as i know samba is used only for win clients ZeitFight
[20:25] <auronandace> !samba | ZeitFight
[20:25] <Anon42> daviddoria: had the same problem ... now that problem is somehow solved
[20:25] <p1ruj3> bluenemo Samba takes ages to setup????
[20:25] <bluenemo> amh345, sshfs user@server:/path/to/dir /path/to/mount/dir
[20:25] <daviddoria> Anon42, no i am in fallback on purpose
[20:25] <BirdOfPrey> I have a question about the cloud services available in Ubuntu 11.10
[20:25] <Kris> Can someone help me starting ubuntu and preventing freezes?
[20:25] <bluenemo> you should set up passwordless login as well for ssh..
[20:25] <bluenemo> then you can script it and stuff (like rc.local or so..)
[20:25] <Kris> PLease?
[20:25] <christina> @Younder when?
[20:26] <bluenemo> p1ruj3, depends on what you want (security foo bar)
[20:26] <bluenemo> its definitly slower than sshfs ;)
[20:26] <Kris> Bluenemo can you help me?
[20:26] <Anon42> daviddoria: ah ok. how do you plan to get the searchbar problem solved?
[20:26] <daviddoria> Anon42, ask here? Haha
[20:26] <Anon42> yea but to many people are in
[20:26] <Anon42> i dont think someone will read it
[20:27] <Kris> I NEED HELP!!!!
[20:27] <bluenemo> Kris, first of sth about irc
[20:27] <JLuc> hello
[20:27] <BirdOfPrey> I need to have a cluster of 4 computers
[20:27] <DasEi> !ask |  kris
[20:27] <bluenemo> dont ask if you may ask, just ask
[20:27] <bluenemo> ah yes :)
[20:27] <auronandace> !helpme | Kris
[20:27] <BarkingFish> Kris, you also need to turn off your caps lock :)
[20:28] <ZeitFight> !patience
[20:28] <JLuc> plz Are  radeon's problem solved with  the new ubuntu ?
[20:28] <BarkingFish> What kind of problem do you have? :)
[20:28] <Anon42> when someone abuses the rules of the irc, everyone reads it
[20:28] <Kris> Ok thanks. I installed Ubuntu through Wubu. And whenever it started up after restart, It frox=ze to all these diffrent colours
[20:28] <Anon42> but when people ask questions you ignore them
[20:28] <bluenemo> Kris, please also describe your problem in as much detail as possible. like when does it occur how and so on..
[20:28] <Anon42> ;D
[20:28] <Guest21648> Anon42, :)
[20:28] <Kris> Occured every time
[20:28] <auronandace> JLuc: that sounds rather vague
[20:28] <Younder> will you grow up.. Kris needs help!
[20:28] <JLuc> unity didnt work (no keyboard  input possible & more)
[20:28] <Kris> After restart
[20:28] <DasEi> Kris:  I personally don't like wubi, remove it and do a dualboot ?
[20:28] <bluenemo> Kris, burn a ubuntu cd and boot from it. dont install from win
[20:29] <Kris> I also tried the CD. The same thing happened
[20:29] <ubuntu_> #starwars
[20:29] <Kris> Its not starting up properly
[20:29] <Siegel-> can anyone help me install my printer driver? mfc-5460cn?
[20:29] <DasEi> Kris: if you just need a glance on ubuntu, install it in a :
[20:29] <DasEi> !vm
[20:29] <BarkingFish> Anon42, we're not robots.  We answer questions if we can do.  We enforce the rules of irc as they need it.  The two are utterly different, please realise that.
[20:29] <DasEi> same  for win, like virtualbox , kris
[20:30] <Kris> How would I go about installing it in a : .Did not see the option
[20:30] <Younder> Kris, you need to install from scratch. But first back up all files.
[20:30] <camden> after upgrading, I'm getting errors when I start compiz, 'extension "GLX" missing on display"
[20:30] <DasEi> kris: cd is giving failures ? checked its md5 both, before and after burning (re-extract iso from cd) ?
[20:30] <camden> I think this is why my compiz isn't working
[20:31] <Anon42> BarkingFish: besides that, i got an other problem with codecs? do you know something about codecs?
[20:31] <DasEi> !who , kris :)
[20:31] <DasEi> !who | kris :)
[20:31] <Kris> No i dont think so
[20:31] <BarkingFish> Anon42, yes.  What is the issue with your codecs?
[20:31] <Anon42> BarkingFish: i installed Medibuntu
[20:31] <Younder> Kris, you just said you do not boot?
[20:31] <Anon42> BarkingFish: so that i could install w64codecs
[20:31] <Kris> k. Younder how would I install it from scratch to simply have it look like ubuntu and have the features. With the least confusion
[20:32] <Kris> Younder yes
[20:32] <TorbenBeta> General question: Does the ping command create lag? Or does it use much bandwidth?
