[13:15] <usr13> javier_: But I think he wanted you to do sudo apt-get --purge remove  before and after   sudo apt-get --purge remove kdelibs-bin   #But not sure it is neecessary to do it before.
[13:15] <photon> usr13: you copied the autoremove misspelling.
[13:15] <photon> javier_: use autoremove instead of atoremove
[13:16] <javier_> usr13: yes, I also saw that but only after doing sudo apt-get ... kdelibs-bin. But i't doing it, so I think it's fine like this
[13:16] <javier_> photon: thanks, i noticed also :)
[13:16] <usr13> photon: Thanks for the correction
[13:16] <photon> np
[13:17] <usr13> Looking back at it.  He may have been wanting you to --purge all that is in  http://paste.ubuntu.com/683518/
[13:18] <Standard> hi
[13:18] <javier_> usr13: ammm, maybe...
[13:19] <javier_> usr13: that would mean to write it manually all the list?
[13:21] <javier_> usr13: I've done once again "dpkg -l | grep lib | grep kde" and now it's only 4 files. Do you advise me to remove them=
[13:21] <javier_> ?
[13:21] <usr13> which is: kde-workspace-kgreet-plugins kdegraphics-libs-data kdelibs-bin kdelibs5-data kdelibs5-plugins kdepimlibs-kio-plugins libakonadi-kde4 libdebconf-kde0 libkde3support4 libkdecorations4 libkdecore5 libkdegames5a libkdepim4 libkdesu5 libkdeui5 libkdewebkit5 libkworkspace4 libreoffice-kde
[13:22] <usr13> In other words.  I think the first command he wanted you to do was:
[13:22] <usr13> sudo apt-get --purge remove kde-workspace-kgreet-plugins kdegraphics-libs-data kdelibs-bin kdelibs5-data kdelibs5-plugins kdepimlibs-kio-plugins libakonadi-kde4 libdebconf-kde0 libkde3support4 libkdecorations4 libkdecore5 libkdegames5a libkdepim4 libkdesu5 libkdeui5 libkdewebkit5 libkworkspace4 libreoffice-kde
[13:22] <javier_> usr13: no, some different: kdelibs5-data libkdecore5 libkdeui5 libkdewebkit5
[13:23] <usr13> javier_: Ok, well, I dono
[13:23] <javier_> usr13: yes, i think you were right. Thanks a lot for working the command for me
[13:23] <usr13> javier_: Anyway, you got it.
[13:24] <usr13> in the end do:   sudo apt-get --reinstall install ubuntu-desktop
[13:24] <usr13> Once you've removed all the KDE stuff.  Reason being.... kde and gnome don't always play well together
[13:26] <Aurus> Considering KDE and Gnome use entirely separate runtimes I can't imagine how they would interfere with each other at all...
[13:28] <aleks_> silversurfer
[13:29] <aleks_> hey ppl
[13:30] <cillo564> is there application that records the sound coming from soundcard?
[13:32] <usr13> Aurus: Well, I don't know what it is, but I've seen it.  I've had a pure KDE system and instlled gnome and for a while everything was fine.  After a bit things seemed to have gotten mucked up and couldn't find any logical reason because the only change was adding gnome and lots of gnome apps.
[13:32] <javier_> It's done. I removed everything I installed from kubuntu, except for one thing. When starting and stopping the laptop, I get kubuntu11.04 blue screen, with those 5 lights that indicate that it's charging. Algo in closing, kubuntu blue screen. Any idea how to get back purple ubuntu one?
[13:33] <usr13> Aurus: Maybe I drew an erroneous assumption
[13:33] <Kartagis> where is PATH set?
[13:33] <TAndriamirado> cillo564: if you use pulse-audio you can easily do that
[13:34] <usr13> Kartagis: How is it set?  Or how do you add to it?
[13:34] <klawd> hi!
[13:34] <klawd> can i make ubuntu install the _latest_ version of something?
[13:34] <Kartagis> usr13: how do I add to it?
[13:34] <cillo564> TAndriamirado, how it can be done?
[13:34] <Kartagis> usr13: /etc/environment?
[13:35] <usr13> $PATH  with no arguments will tell you what you have now.
[13:36] <TAndriamirado> cillo564: ..or use jackd2 sound daemon: it let you simply 'connect' apps (and hardwares) so the output of a software (or soundcard) could be routed to the entry port of any sound recorder app
[13:36] <chriswr> hey guys i need to split a iso file into multiple files to put on 700mb cds but i have no clue on how to do that
[13:36] <usr13> PATH=$PATH:/home/user/bin   will add /home/user/bin to your path.
[13:37] <usr13> Kartagis: I think you need to run   export PATH   afterwards
[13:37] <jasonmsp> hey all.  I created a symbolic link and unfrotunately wasn't thinking and prefecade it with a /  I want to delete the link now.  if I rm /linkname will that delete the files that it links to or will it delete just the link?
[13:37] <usr13> .. for it to take effect.
[13:37] <TAndriamirado> chriswr: use 'isomaster'
[13:38] <SIFTU> jasonmsp: just the link
[13:38] <jasonmsp> SIFTU: grazie!
[13:39] <chriswr> TAndriamirado, alright.  i was wondering how would i run the iso if its split up on multiple cds?
[13:40] <ben_stein> if i use a mobile broadband isp's usb modem (CDMA) and my mobile phone providers data plan (3G) together, i will have to ip's? i want to do it to increase speed when travelling. how does a program like email, skype, irc, web browsing etc. choose between the two connections?
[13:42] <ben_stein> for some reason when i try it now, it slows things down
[13:43] <Roger_the_bum> Has ubuntu, since 10.10, enabled power management settings for wireless cards? For mine, I think it's saving power to aggressively, as when I connect to a wireless network on battery, I cannot reliably connect from 30 or so feet away in a not-too-dense location. On battery, there are no problems.
[13:43] <EskimoBob> hi, what pkg installs /boot/System.map /boot/abi and /boot/vmcoreinfo
[13:43] <Roger_the_bum> I'm running xubuntu now, but on either ubuntu or xubuntu the problem persists
[13:45] <xfce_murderer> hello, I installed ubuntu server but added xfce because owner of the server wants to have graphic interface in case he needed to fix something. How can I change booting so text mode would be default and xfce was only turned on with "Xorg" commandd?
[13:45] <TAndriamirado> chriswr: this typically depends of the software that is on the CDs (not sure I understood Ur 2nd question..)
[13:46] <lucenut> Hey guys. I want to make my windows 7 netbook dual boot with the latest ubuntu. I am downloading the 11.04 and have a usb drive.
[13:46] <lucenut> Any tips/tricks/suggestions?
[13:46] <xfce_murderer> hello, I installed ubuntu server but added xfce because owner of the server wants to have graphic interface in case he needed to fix something. How can I change booting so text mode would be default and xfce was only turned on with "Xorg" commandd?
[13:47] <xfce_murderer> sorry, hand slipped
[13:47] <Stanley00> lucenut: just looking at the install guide on wiki.ubuntu.com :D
[13:47] <xfce_murderer> lucenut: in my case it configured grub automatically
[13:47] <SIFTU> xfce_murderer: just dont start a display manager
[13:48] <chriswr> TAndriamirado, its a copy of a game iso , and to rephrase that question... once i get the split iso files on the cds would i just copy and paste the files on the cds onto my other computer? if so how would i mount the iso since theres so many of them?
[13:48] <xfce_murderer> SIFTU: it turns on on boot, how do I disable it?
[13:48] <SIFTU> xfce_murderer: and you are probably thinking of using "startx"
[13:48] <xfce_murderer> SIFTU: thanks, I'll remember
[13:48] <SIFTU> xfce_murderer: update-rc.d
[13:49] <tdn> I have some m4a audio files that are apple lossless codec, I think. How do I play those? Audacious cannot handle play them. I guess I need to install some lib or codec?
[13:50] <TAndriamirado> chriswr: so it fully depends of the game. Most of them are protected.
[13:50] <mongy> chriswr, split -d -b 700M file.iso splitfile
[13:50] <xfce_murderer> SIFTU: update-rc.d "???"
[13:51] <Andy80> jussi01: hi :)
[13:51] <chriswr> TAndriamirado, alright ill just try and see
[13:51] <lucenut> I searched bootable usb on the wiki and returned nothing. Just "usb" returns a bunch of stuff that doesn't seem to be about a bootable drive.
[13:51] <mongy> chriswr, cat splitfile* > file.iso
[13:51] <Stanley00> xfce_murderer: I think you should digging more in man upstart and init, it's the first proc start when system startup...
[13:52] <TAndriamirado> chriswr: sorry ;-)) (..and you could try mongy's tip ;-)
[13:52] <xfce_murderer> tdn: do you have restricted areas cidecs installed?
[13:52] <mongy> chriswr, md5sum the before and after just to verify.  works for me fine tho
[13:53] <chriswr> mongy, alright , how would i merge the files back together once i got them on my other computer?
[13:53] <mongy> chriswr, see cat
[13:53] <chriswr> mongy, my other computer is windows  :/
[13:53] <xfce_murderer> tdn: do you have restricted areas cidecs installed?
[13:54] <xfce_murderer> lucenut: it doesn't matter if it's from CD or USB
[13:54] <mongy> chriswr, split -b 700M file.iso splitfile <then>  cat splitfile* > file.iso
[13:54] <javier_> hi: how to install digikam in gnome? do I need all kde stall, like dolphin? can't I make it use nautilus?
[13:56] <chriswr> mongy, so the "cat splitfile* > file.iso" works on windows?
[13:56] <MonkeyDust> chriswr: mount the Windoze partition on Ubuntu and then merge the files
[13:56] <mongy> chriswr, oh, I assumed linux
[13:56] <codemagician> im trying to run a backup python script but it bails out because there is a file called .gvfs in my home directory which appears to have user = ? group = ?
[13:57] <Lasers> codemagician: Exclude .gvffs
[13:57] <Lasers> .gvfs
[13:57] <Lasers> and trash while you're at it.
[13:57] <Lasers> !trash
[13:57] <ActionParsnip> codemagician: its a special folder, take it out of the scope
[13:57] <codemagician> ActionParsnip, who created it?
[13:58] <Lasers> Nautilus's automagically mount stuffs.
[13:58] <MonkeyDust> chriswr: or merge the files, then mount the Windoze partition and copy the merged files to that partition
[13:58] <ActionParsnip> codemagician: its where gvfs mounts shares and such
[13:58] <codemagician> ActionParsnip, it caused my backups to fail
[13:58] <codemagician> ActionParsnip, because it has no user or group associated with it
[13:59] <lighta> why does ubuntu depot still have galileo eclipse instead a newer one like indigo or even helios ?
[13:59] <ActionParsnip> codemagician: remove the folder from the scope and you'll be fine
[13:59] <codemagician> ActionParsnip, just rm .gvfs
[13:59] <chriswr> MonkeyDust, the problem im having is that when i try to mount the iso file on ubuntu it says that theres no files in it and also its not in iso 9660 , so i used "iat" and it says  "image is broken     this image is not CD image"
[13:59] <mongy> chriswr, could compress it in nautilus 'compress' and use 7z or something to make volumes, then use 7zip in windows to unpack
[13:59] <MonkeyDust> lighta: 'why' is a philosophical question, this is a technical channel
[13:59] <ActionParsnip> codemagician: no or you will make issues
[13:59] <lucenut> I still can't find where to start on making a bootable usb stick with 11.04
[13:59] <lucenut> Google brings up things for 8
[13:59] <ActionParsnip> lucenut: it's the same method
[14:00] <codemagician> ActionParsnip, about 10 mins ago ls -l showed "d?????????   ? ?    ?          ?                ? .gvfs"
[14:00] <lighta> I meant technically is there a logical reason like stability or you like to make user search more ?...
[14:00] <codemagician> ActionParsnip, now it is owned by me in devteam group
[14:00] <sls> join/#als
[14:00] <ActionParsnip> codemagician: its just a container that gvfs uses to mount stuff, theres no need to back it up and its not technically a folder, just make your script ignore the folder
[14:00] <codemagician> ActionParsnip, actually ignore that. its still ? ?
[14:01] <usr13> lucenut:  http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download
[14:01] <sls> the idiot is here
[14:01] <Pici> lighta: have you checked launchpad for bug reports against that package? Perhaps there is a legitimate reason listed there.  I suspect it is because packaging it is a real pain.
[14:01] <tonysan> Could somebody provide a simple script: do some job when swap usage is above some threshold?
[14:01] <Lasers> codemagician: Yes. You said you have a backup script. Fix it to exclude few folders.
[14:01] <chriswr> mongy, that sounds like a good idea , if i compress it with natilius is there somthing i can use on this linux computer to split the compressed file into multiple volumes? or is 7zip for linux also?
[14:02] <tdn> xfce_murderer, yes I do.
[14:02] <ActionParsnip> tonysan: you will be using 'free -m' and grepping and awking til you get the value you want, then performing some logic on the value
[14:02] <tdn> xfce_murderer, I have those isntalled.
[14:02] <Pici> tonysan: Thats not really within the scope of this channel.  Someone in #bash might be able to help you write that, or you'd more likely be looking for a framework that allows you to create jobs based on system properties.
[14:02] <tdn> xfce_murderer, which one should make it work?
[14:02] <tonysan> ActionParsnip: actually it is the grepping and awking that hinders me ...
[14:02] <tdn> xfce_murderer, here is dpkg -l |grep codec: http://paste.adora.dk/P2152.html
[14:03] <mongy> chriswr, 7zip is available for most if not all
[14:03] <tonysan> ok, I'll switch to another channel, thanks
[14:04] <RamtinA> hey,i wanna delete some files , for first time , i just clicked "delete"key . now they are in the trash
[14:04] <RamtinA> but when i push empty trash , don't do anything
[14:05] <ActionParsnip> tonysan: USEDSWAP=free -m | tail -n 1  | awk '{ print $3; }'
[14:05] <chriswr> mongy, awesome im sure that will work , should have thought of it before myself , thanks
[14:05] <tonysan> ActionParsnip: thanks!
[14:05] <engrxyz> i hae a root partition and an lvm partition. i installed mysql and transfer the datadir from /var/lib/mysql to the lvm partition. when i do a mysql restore, i found out that the / root partition as well as the lvm partition is growing together. any tips?
[14:05] <Kartagis> how do I fix Class PDO not found?
[14:05] <ActionParsnip> tonysan: $3 prints the 3rd value, you can get free with: $4  and total is $2
[14:06] <mongy> chriswr, for a command it would be 7z a -v700m -mx=0 file.7z file.iso   (if you want no compression, quicker)
[14:06] <ActionParsnip> tonysan: you can then use bash to perform logic on those values (calculate percentage etc)
[14:06] <tsaknorris> hmm... how i can add launchers to unity?
[14:06] <ActionParsnip> tsaknorris: drag them from dash is one way
[14:07] <tsaknorris> ActionParsnip, hmm it didnt work :D
[14:07] <RamtinA> anyone can help me,please?
[14:07] <tsaknorris> i dont want to use firefox and i want to replace it with chromium
[14:07] <Stanley00> tsaknorris: just run chrome, and keep in launcher will do ;)
[14:07] <MonkeyDust> tsaknorris: apt-get install chromium-browser
[14:07] <usr13> RamtinA: What is it?
[14:07] <ActionParsnip> tsaknorris: or run the app, when it appears, right click the icon and select 'keep in launcher'
[14:08] <chriswr> mongy, alright , is there not a gui for 7zip , i just downloaded it on ubuntu software center
[14:08] <somsip> Kartagis: Dom you want the #php channel?
[14:08] <MonkeyDust> ah Unity
[14:08] <tsaknorris> i didnt got any list with right button hmm...
[14:08] <mongy> chriswr,  used in nautilus
[14:08] <RamtinA> tsaknorris:just install chromium,ask you for deafult ;)
[14:08] <Kartagis> somsip: they told me to ask here
[14:08] <RamtinA> usr13: i can't empty my trash :(
[14:08] <mongy> chriswr, the compression app that is,  file-roller
[14:08] <ActionParsnip> tsaknorris: I use chromium, it sits on the bar just fine
[14:08] <Lasers> chriswr: Use Gnome File-Roller. It's one GUI that will take care of all archives.
[14:08] <tsaknorris> RamtinA, i have it already...i just upgraded to this 11.10
[14:08] <usr13> RamtinA: Why not?
[14:09] <ActionParsnip> tsaknorris: then ask in #ubuntu+1   Oneiric isn't supported here until it is released
[14:09] <usr13> RamtinA: Does it give some sort of error?
[14:09] <chriswr> mongy, umm how do i use nautilus exactly? kinda noobish at this , do i need to install it also or does it come preinstalled on ubuntu 11.04
[14:09] <RamtinA> usr13:  Error while deleting.There was an error deleting Fani.lnk.
[14:09] <somsip> Kartagis: looks like its a pecl extension on ubuntu, unless it's been changed to a php5-* package: http://wiki.kryn.org/How_to_install_php_pdo_debian/ubuntu
[14:09] <RamtinA> usr13:Failed to delete the item from the trash
[14:10] <tsaknorris> ok i will go to read my self...plaah...i only wanted to know some basic stuff about unity...so forget...i will read it by my self :)
[14:10] <usr13> RamtinA: Where is Fani.lnk ?
[14:10] <mongy> chriswr, the file manager.  if you have 7zip installed, select your file.iso and right click compress, 7z will be an optoin
[14:10] <ActionParsnip> do ISO files compress well?
[14:10] <chriswr> mongy, oh alright cool
[14:10] <mongy> ActionParsnip, have done , certain ones
[14:10] <ActionParsnip> I doubt it will due to squashfs being used to store the data on the ubuntu ISO
[14:11] <somsip> Kartagis: wait - just saw this Update: it looks like this is a result of PDO moving into the PHP code; don't try to install PDO using PECL, just skip to the database-specific install (e.g. pdo_mysql).
[14:11] <tsaknorris> http://askubuntu.com/questions/29553/how-can-i-configure-unity
[14:11] <tsaknorris> \o/
[14:11] <Stanley00> tsaknorris: well, read the manual is a good idea, I remember that there is a prog call help on your ubuntu ;)
[14:11] <RamtinA> in my flash USB
[14:11] <mongy> chriswr, if you use terminal you can do this a lot quicker, with no compression.
[14:11] <RamtinA> usr13:in my flash USB
[14:11] <Kartagis> somsip: I got it, some pear package upgraded php5-mysql
[14:11] <somsip> Kartagis: cool
[14:12] <chriswr> mongy, alright can you walk me through it cause terminal confuses me to no end
[14:12] <Kartagis> somsip: now I need to upgrade PHP
[14:12] <tsaknorris> this is also cool :)
[14:12] <tsaknorris> http://maketecheasier.com/8-really-useful-ubuntu-unity-quicklists/2011/05/07
[14:12] <mongy> chriswr, open it up then.,
[14:13] <somsip> Kartagis: I'd read around it first if I were you. Thatlast "Update:" was from a site suggesting to apt-get purge php-*, and resintall php-5 before installing PDO
[14:13] <mongy> chriswr, where is your iso file?  at the root of home or in some other folder
[14:13] <usr13> RamtinA: find /media/ -name Fani.lnk -type f
[14:14] <usr13> RamtinA: Where is it?
[14:14] <chriswr> mongy, ive alreaddy cd to that folder , it is in my downloads folder
[14:14] <mebe> #join schizo
[14:14] <mebe> join #schizo
[14:14] <tomodachi> mebe:  try adding a slash first
[14:14] <tomodachi> like this /
[14:15] <RamtinA> usr13:how can i find that?
[14:15] <mongy> chriswr, just copy paste this then.  7z a -v700m -mx=0 file.7z file.iso
[14:15] <Stanley00> say /join #schizo  <= mebe, like this
[14:15] <Stanley00> /join #schizo  <= mebe, like this
[14:16] <chriswr> mongy, alright , do i just make up a name for the "file.7z"
[14:16] <mongy> chriswr, yeah
[14:17] <usr13> RamtinA: find /media/ -name Fani.lnk
[14:18] <usr13> show us the output of  ^^^
[14:18] <chriswr> mongy, alright , is that all  i need to do , and itll split it up into volumes for me in 7z format?
[14:18] <RamtinA> usr13: I find that
[14:18] <usr13> RamtinA: Where?
[14:18] <xxzz> debian-eeepc
[14:18] <usr13> show us
[14:18] <xxzz> sorry
[14:19] <mongy> chriswr, yes.  then use yzip on windows to extract, using the first in the set
[14:19] <mongy> 7zip*
[14:19] <usr13> RamtinA: Just delete it then.    Right?
[14:19] <RamtinA> usr13: your mind is find that file?i just find /media/Ramtin (my USB) and there isn't my file (fani.lnk)anymore
[14:20] <mongy> chriswr, download 7zip now and stick it on the lsat cd
[14:20] <RamtinA> usr13: that's in trash
[14:21] <chriswr> mongy, i alreaddy have 7zip on my desktop XD

[14:30] <TehAndrewRyan> hello, i have this issue in ubuntu 10.10
[14:30] <RamtinA> abuntu: What's your ubuntu ver?
[14:30] <abuntu> lubuntu
[14:30] <TehAndrewRyan> when i'm playing minecraft and i left/right click, it loses the focus of the window, but i regain it after some few milliseconds
[14:31] <TehAndrewRyan> this however causes a pretty annoying lag
[14:31] <TehAndrewRyan> is there a fix for it?
[14:31] <abuntu> latest lubuntu 11.xx
[14:31] <RamtinA> abuntu: release number?
[14:31] <noobie3> 128mb sdram, 750mhz AMD Duron, Nvidia GeForce 200 - 32mb vram, 10gb hdd. Any sugestion for what distribution of ubuntu linux? I tried lubuntu 10.10, lubuntu 11.04, mint linux, puppy linux and BrunoPup and always had a problem while instaling. Any suggestions? PlEASE!
[14:32] <xxzz> ActionParsnip, I managed parted magic usb to boot netbook, now I see 2 partitions but cant fingure out partition type. During power on without usb i see ASUS assistance and stuff so I guess they are using 1 partition or 2 partions. My plan is to install windows, freebsd and Ubuntu on 250 gig but I will need 2 primary partitions for windows & FreeBSD and 1 logical for Ubuntu. How do I find...
[14:32] <xxzz> ...out what two primary partitions are ( need to know type). fdisk says hidden partitions and nothing more
[14:32] <EskimoBob> hi, what pkg installs /boot/System.map /boot/abi and /boot/vmcoreinfo  thank you
[14:32] <ActionParsnip> xxzz: gparted should show file system
[14:32] <TehAndrewRyan> any fix for my issue as i decribed above?
[14:32] <TehAndrewRyan> described*
[14:33] <sipior> noobie3: the ubuntu server install should work (any version)
[14:33] <xxzz> ActionParsnip, k will check
[14:33] <ActionParsnip> noobie3: lubuntu or tinycore will make a slick desktop
[14:33] <ActionParsnip> noobie3: be sure you MD5 test the ISO you download. In Ubuntu you may need to blacklist the nouveau driver with bootoption
[14:34] <slipttees> howto get Vbios dump? lvds for example?
[14:34] <abuntu> Ramtina: 11.04 sorry for the delay
[14:34] <noobie3> ActionParsnip: what version of lubuntu? I tried with lubuntu 10.10 and i couldn't manage to install it
[14:34] <usr13> RamtinA: Close nautilus and run it as super-user and try again.   gksudo nautilus
[14:34] <ActionParsnip> noobie3: I always advise the latest stable
[14:35] <noobie3> but latest stable is with high requariments for my computer
[14:35] <kate_r> hi
[14:35] <kate_r> i was given some instructions on what needs to be done to execute my script: "Any directories en route to the script would also need to at least the "I" set." what do they mean by "I"?
[14:35] <ActionParsnip> noobie3: the latest version has very little extra requirements over the older ones
[14:35] <slipttees> please, howto get dump my video card?
[14:36] <RamtinA> usr13:  i can't delete any file yet
[14:36] <slipttees> lvds,vga and hmdi ports
[14:36] <slipttees> ?
[14:36] <abuntu> hi im running lubuntu 11.04 and reboot doens't work but shutdown does
[14:36] <ActionParsnip> abuntu: what happens on reboot?
[14:36] <usr13> RamtinA: Open a terminal and type  ls -l   and pastebin what it says.
[14:37] <abuntu> ActionParsnip: It looks like X is breaking up
[14:37] <TehAndrewRyan> i'll ask again then, my minecraft client loses focus for a split second when i left or right click, and this causes a slight lag. any idea on how to resolve it? (ubuntu 10.10)
[14:37] <kkulhavy> Hello
[14:37] <kkulhavy> My Ubuntu trashed when I tried to install Links web browser from the Software Center
[14:37] <ActionParsnip> abuntu: is the system a laptop?
[14:37] <usr13> RamtinA: And paste the URL here.
[14:37] <usr13> let us look and see
[14:37] <abuntu> ActionParsnip: yeah a toshiba satellite
[14:38] <ActionParsnip> abuntu: are there any bugs reported for that model?
[14:38] <RamtinA> usr13:http://pastebin.com/HhX70rNF
[14:38] <kkulhavy> now the computer reacts very slow and windows sometimes dont redraw
[14:38] <kkulhavy> or take ages to redraw
[14:38] <abuntu> ActionParsnip: I'll check
[14:38] <kkulhavy> how do I make Ubuntu responsive again?
[14:38] <TehAndrewRyan> i'll ask again then, my minecraft client loses focus for a split second when i left or right click, and this causes a slight lag. any idea on how to resolve it? (ubuntu 10.10)
[14:38] <noobie3> what is latest stable version of lubuntu?
[14:39] <ActionParsnip> noobie3: natty
[14:40] <kkulhavy> OK this is not possible
[14:40] <Emily_Spencer> has anyone here had any problems with synaptics touchpads. the mouse cursor wiggles when my finger is resting still
[14:40] <kkulhavy> Ubuntu already screwed up 2 times without a reason and is very slow
[14:40] <kkulhavy> I am going to swap back the disk with Debian
[14:40] <TehAndrewRyan> i'll ask again then, my minecraft client loses focus for a split second when i left or right click, and this causes a slight lag. any idea on how to resolve it? (ubuntu 10.10)
[14:40] <kkulhavy> kthxbye
[14:40] <ActionParsnip> noobie3: http://lubuntu.lafibre.info/11.04/lubuntu-11.04-desktop-i386.iso   MD5: 76e5865ce8d0d08fa9f833d781016fe3
[14:40] <abuntu> ActionParsnip: Well there are reports of not being able to awake from sleep etc.. so i guess so
[14:41] <noobie3> ActionParsnip : I already tried that version...i had problems with instalation...
[14:41] <ActionParsnip> TehAndrewRyan: are you using desktop effects (compiz)?
[14:41] <ActionParsnip> noobie3: what happens when you try?
[14:41] <TehAndrewRyan> ActionParsnip: well, i haven't done any changes, and on visual effects it's set to "Normal"
[14:41] <abuntu> ActionParsnip: Yes it seems to be a known problem with Toshiba Satellites, ty
[14:42] <Emily_Spencer> are you using 32 bit or 64 bit lubuntu, noobie?
[14:42] <TehAndrewRyan> ActionParsnip: i only get this with a custom client, the regular one doesn't get affected (even though the mouse pointer still flashes)
[14:42] <ActionParsnip> TehAndrewRyan: press ALT+F2 and run:  metacity --replace      this will disable effects, then try the game
[14:42] <tau141> 7/quit
[14:42] <usr13> RamtinA:  gksudo nautilus  #Didn't work for you?
[14:42] <noobie3> ActionParsnip: I had black screen after some part of instalation, wait to see if there is photo of that
[14:42] <emery> Is internet dj console still in the repos ?
[14:42] <ActionParsnip> noobie3: yes, add the boot option:  nouveau.blacklist=1
[14:43] <TehAndrewRyan> ActionParsnip: the first thing that happened is that my dock (docky)m ade the whole lower half of the screen black
[14:43] <noobie3> how to do that? :S
[14:43] <TehAndrewRyan> ActionParsnip: then it tells me it needs compositing to work properly
[14:43] <ActionParsnip> TehAndrewRyan: yes, docky needs compositing
[14:43] <ActionParsnip> TehAndrewRyan: try the game
[14:43] <RamtinA> usr13:  work but i can't delete file
[14:43] <TehAndrewRyan> ActionParsnip: still lag
[14:43] <ActionParsnip> !nomodeset | noobie3 same method, different boot option
[14:45] <noobie3> ubottu: thanks..i will try that now..
[14:45] <TehAndrewRyan> ActionParsnip: i still get the same issue with the cursor
[14:46] <ActionParsnip> TehAndrewRyan: ok press ALT+F2 and run:  compiz --replace
[14:47] <TehAndrewRyan> ActionParsnip: still the same...
[14:47] <usr13> RamtinA: find / -name Fani.lnk   #Where is it?
[14:49] <usr13> RamtinA: And then just delete it.  sudo rm /path/to/Fani.lnk
[14:50] <ActionParsnip> TehAndrewRyan: thats all I know then man
[14:50] <mongy> tried acpi=off as a last resort
[14:51] <TehAndrewRyan> ActionParsnip: as i said, it's only with a custom client called "SpoutCraft", i don't get it with the regular one
[14:51] <usr13> RamtinA: Or, if you are curious, see what it is.  file /path/to/Fani.lnk
[14:51] <ActionParsnip> TehAndrewRyan: are there bugs reported for the alternate client? Is it a known issue?
[14:51] <usr13> RamtinA: ls -l /path/to/Fani.lnk
[14:52] <lucenut> I am installing 11.04 on my HP mini alongside windows 7.
[14:52] <usr13> And show us...
[14:52] <lucenut> I am at the screen called "Allocate drive space" and confused.
[14:52] <lucenut> It shows 4 things under "devices" like /dev/sda...
[14:53] <edbian> lucenut: each one is a partition
[14:53] <edbian> lucenut: /dev/sda is one of your hdds
[14:53] <RamtinA> usr13:  that's just in the trash
[14:53] <lucenut> Device for boot loader installation has /dev/sda ATA Toshiba MK2556GS (250.1 GB) selected.
[14:53] <usr13> lucenut: and one or more of those you will want to resize, (make smaller), in order to get enough free space to install Ubuntu.
[14:54] <lucenut> I didn't know what to do so I just hit "Install Now" but it says "No root file system is defined"
[14:54] <usr13> RamtinA: Did you find it yet?
[14:54] <usr13> RamtinA: Did you find the path to the file?
[14:54] <lucenut> OK, so if I choose "Edit" on the 250G partition...
[14:55] <lucenut> It says "Use as"?
[14:55] <mongy> ActionParsnip, got a good theme for lubuntu? I cant seem to find a decent one...I prefer dark styles
[14:55] <xxzz> ActionParsnip, gparted doesnt detect filesystem
[14:55] <lucenut> Should I choose Fat32 file system?
[14:55] <lucenut> You can resize this later also right?
[14:56] <usr13> lucenut: You have to make room for the new Linux install.  If you want to delete all that is there, tell it to use entire disk.  If you want to do Dual Boot, resize the MS Windows partition so a smaller size, maybe  half, (depending on how much data you have in it).
[14:56] <edbian> lucenut: you should make everything for ubuntu ext4 ( or swap )
[14:56] <edbian> lucenut: use as is something like / or swap or /home
[14:56] <edbian> lucenut: You will probably need to resize yes, unless you have unallocated space on the drive already
[14:57] <lucenut> How do you resize?
[14:57] <lucenut> I selected swap and clicked OK.
[14:57] <usr13> lucenut: Look at how much free space you have and decide how to allocte for Linux. Or tell us how much free space you come up with and we will help you decide.  Or, you can let the installer do the automatic allocation.
[14:58] <lucenut> There is ~ 198G free of 250 according to windows.
[14:58] <noobie3> when trying to intsall lubuntu 11.4 i get this error http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/822/12314124.jpg/
[14:58] <noobie3> any help? :(
[14:58] <lucenut> I don't understand this UI though.
[14:58] <usr13> lucenut: That is plenty, use the 198G of free space.
[14:58] <edbian> lucenut: Free space in windows means NTFS partition space that is not filled with files / folder.  Free in this installer means this part of the drive is not a partition at all.
[14:58] <lucenut> OK, I wasn't asked anything about size/space.
[14:58] <edbian> lucenut: The fact that windows reports 198Gb free means that you can shrink the windows ntfs partition.
[14:58] <usr13> lucenut: And let ubuntu automatically decide and re-partition for itself.
[14:59] <lucenut> I chose "swap" and hit OK.
[14:59] <edbian> usr13: He can learn if he wants to
[14:59] <edbian> lucenut: also you probably have more than 1 'windows' partition  windows 7 usually has like 4
[14:59] <lucenut> Now in here it shows the 250G partition as Type=swap.
[14:59] <usr13> lucenut: Look at the available options and think about it.
[14:59] <edbian> lucenut: 1 repair partition, 1 boot partition, and one actual windows data partition is very common
[15:00] <edbian> lucenut: How much ram do you have?
[15:00] <usr13> lucenut: You only need about 3 or 4G for swap
[15:00] <chmielsen> Hey, I have a problem. When I'm building program from a source it is later asking me for a lot of files in directories like /etc /var etc. How can I install it, so it would be like from synaptics?
[15:00] <RamtinA> usr13: my computer restarted
[15:00] <lucenut> Right, there is a ntfs 35MB and a fat16 33MB
[15:00] <edbian> lucenut: (that's almost definitely waaaay to much swap
[15:00] <slipttees> como extract bios dump on ubuntu?
[15:00] <lucenut> I didn't mention them because I didn't think they were important.
[15:01] <edbian> lucenut:    fat16 33Mb?  <- I have no idea what this is.  It's pretty uselessly small
[15:01] <usr13> lucenut: You are correct, those are not important, you can just leave them as is.
[15:01] <lucenut> OK, I highlighted the 250G and clicked "Revert" and now instead of swap it says it's ntfs.
[15:01] <edbian> lucenut: Be careful here.  It is rather easy to erase your entire windows OS at this stage of the installer.
[15:01] <lucenut> That is why I am asking questions.
[15:01] <usr13> lucenut: How much RAM does this PC have?
[15:02] <noobie3> http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/822/12314124.jpg/ <-- anyone familiar with this kind of error?
[15:02] <edbian> lucenut: just a warning :)
[15:02] <lucenut> 1G, and that is the max for it.
[15:02] <edbian> noobie3: It's a kernel panic
[15:02] <edbian> lucenut: Then your swap should be 1Gb, what's the max for what?
[15:02] <chmielsen> Hey, I have a problem. When I'm building program from a source it is later asking me for a lot of files in directories like /etc /var etc. How can I install it, so it would be like from synaptics?
[15:02] <noobie3> i could read that by myself :) anything else
[15:02] <usr13> lucenut: Then 1 or 2G of swap is fine.
[15:02] <lucenut> So here I am again at the Allocate drive space screen. What do I do?
[15:02] <RamtinA> my ram is 512MB , and 58%of that is in use .and just my pidgin is run :D . is it fine?
[15:03] <lucenut> Where do I "get" that swap space?
[15:03] <edbian> noobie3: They're usually very hard to figure out.  Typically they're caused by bad hardware (unless you're using the nightly build kernel)
[15:03] <sproaty> hi since using ubuntu 11.04, Nautilus no longer autocompletes in the location bar when SSH'd into a server; any ideas?
[15:03] <edbian> lucenut: You create a partition that is type swap on the drive
[15:03] <ActionParsnip> RamtinA: probably find most is use by disk caching
[15:03] <tab1293> mpd is not used to stream music correct?
[15:03] <ActionParsnip> RamtinA: http://www.linuxatemyram.com/
[15:03] <lucenut> So do I take some space from the 250G ntfs?
[15:03] <edbian> lucenut: You do that by shrinking partitions until you have some unallocated space, then you right click the unallocated space and create a new (swap) partition that is 1Gb big (1024Mb)
[15:04] <Chousuke> RamtinA: as long as you have free RAM left you don't need to pay attention to it
[15:04] <lucenut> OK, how do I "shrink" a partition?
[15:04] <edbian> lucenut: You have to take space from some partition probably yes
[15:04] <TehAndrewRyan> ActionParsnip: yes it has been written before, however if i F11 the window i don't get that problem
[15:04] <edbian> lucenut: right click it and choose resize
[15:04] <edbian> lucenut: If it has a key / lock or a red ! then you won't be able to
[15:04] <lucenut> There is no right-clicking on this installer screen.
[15:04] <Chousuke> RamtinA: and most of the time you don't need to even when you have no free RAM left :)
[15:04] <emily_spencer> is there a setting i can edit to repair a shaky mouse cursor
[15:05] <Chousuke> RamtinA: though with only 0.5GB you can run out if you run too many apps at the same time
[15:05] <lucenut> I can highlight the 250G partition and click the "edit" button.
[15:05] <edbian> lucenut: then highlight one of the partitions on the drive and use the resize button (perhaps it's called edit in the installer)
[15:05] <gabyy> hello...
[15:05] <lucenut> I mean "Change" the button is labelled.
[15:05] <edbian> lucenut: You are confusing me.  Your hdd is 250Gb total right?
[15:05] <lucenut> Yes
[15:05] <edbian> lucenut: You should have at least 1 partition that is = or < 250Gb
[15:06] <ActionParsnip> technoviking: what desktop environment do you use?
[15:06] <lucenut> Yes, /dev/sda2 ntfs 2498843
[15:06] <nhocht> hi
[15:06] <lucenut> I can highlight it and click "Change".
[15:06] <usr13> lucenut: So use about half of that one.
[15:07] <lucenut> I don't know how to "use" it. :-(
[15:07] <edbian> lucenut: so you want to be editing these partitions (not the entire 250Gb drive)  the partitions each are not 250Gb so don't say things like 'I'm selecting 250Gb and resizing' cause that's not true right?
[15:07] <nhocht> how to check infomation about USB3G on ubuntu?
[15:07] <lucenut> When I click "Change" I get a dialog that asks "Use As".
[15:07] <RamtinA> Chousuke: ok that's fine . but my computer crash around every 18 min . and i can't run rhythmbox and Firefox together
[15:07] <usr13> lucenut: Resize
[15:07] <usr13> not change
[15:08] <lucenut> OK, the 249843 partition.
[15:08] <gabyy> i just installed ubuntu desktop, but then i don't know what to do with it. what i should do to use it as production for digital image editing?
[15:08] <gabyy> :D
[15:08] <edbian> usr13: In the installer it's called edit / change
[15:08] <lucenut> I thought 250 was a good round for that.
[15:08] <Stanley00> gabyy: you can use gimp and/or inkscape to edit digital picture
[15:08] <lucenut> There is nothing on this Allocate Drive Space screen saying "resize" anywhere.
[15:08] <edbian> lucenut: it's close but it is confusing because 250Gb would imply you're editing the entire drive (which you're not).  If you did you would be erasing windows completely.
[15:09] <TehAndrewRyan> ActionParsnip: wtf i'm stuck, i alt+f4'ed spoutcraft, and now my entire primary monitor is white
[15:09] <edbian> lucenut: PM me?
[15:09] <gabyy> is there no photoshop for ubuntu.
[15:09] <TehAndrewRyan> ActionParsnip: i can't open a terminal, nor alt+tab to change window
[15:09] <Lasers> !gimp
[15:09] <Lasers> gabyy: That's linux alternative of photoshop, gimp.
[15:09] <usr13> Oh ok. lucenut As edbian points out, the option is edit / change.  You want to resize the parttion, (shrink it to a smaller size).
[15:09] <Stanley00> gabyy: you can install photoshop via wine or playonlinux, but I dont recommend that
[15:10] <EskimoBob> hi can someone please tell me what pkg. installs /boot/System.map /boot/abi and /boot/vmcoreinfo files
[15:10] <gabyy> okay, think i'm gonna give it a try. is it in the apt?
[15:10] <lucenut> usr13. I highlight the 249843 partition and click "Change" and get an "Edit a partition" dialog. Nothing about resizing here.
[15:10] <Stanley00> gabyy: yes, try finding it on Ubuntu software center
[15:10] <gabyy> thanks all.
[15:10] <gabyy> ^_^
[15:11] <usr13> lucenut: If you fish around there, you should find out how to resize (shrink) the largest partion in order to create enough free space for the Linux install.
[15:11] <RamtinA> gabyy: there isn't photoshop.but you can use gimp
[15:12] <usr13> lucenut: Have you already allocated some space for swap ?
[15:12] <lucenut> No!
[15:12] <lucenut> I set the 249843 to swap and was told that was wrong.
[15:12] <lucenut> So I reverted it back.
[15:12] <Kingsy> guys, I have got a LONG flight coming up in a couple of hours.. anyone recommend any addictive games I can play on my laptop that will eat up some hours ? :)
[15:13] <EskimoBob> anyone? I have this fracked up install here and obviously some files are missing from the boot. I like to fix this
[15:13] <EskimoBob> Kingsy: read a book
[15:13] <Kingsy> EskimoBob: reading a book is hardly a game :P
[15:13] <usr13> lucenut: Ok, well as I said, if you fish around there on that screen, you should find out how to set aside some free space for the linux install.  Shrinking the largest partition is basically what you are going to do.
[15:13] <EskimoBob> Kingsy: read a good book and it better than a game
[15:13] <Kingsy> ....
[15:14] <gabyy> RamtinA: okkie dookie. let me familiarize myself with gimp. thanks
[15:14] <EskimoBob> am I on the wrong channel?
[15:14] <edbian> EskimoBob: I think so yes
[15:15] <Pici> EskimoBob: This channel is for Ubuntu support only, if you're looking for that, then you're in the right channel.
[15:15] <EskimoBob> so where can I get the answer to my question? what *buntu pkg. installs /boot/System.map /boot/abi and /boot/vmcoreinfo files
[15:15] <usr13> lucenut: Choose that largest partition, right-click on it, and you should come up with a context menu that offers resize as an option.
[15:15] <EskimoBob> Pici: this is exactly what I am looking for :)
[15:16] <lucenut> usr13 there is no context menu right-click in this installer screen.
[15:16] <pawz> hai. i has a problem. i'm trying to install ubuntu on a netbook with a 1024x600 screen resolution and none of the install dialogs fit on the screen so i can't select OK or BACK etc... i wanted to try the ubuntu netbook remix, but its been replaced now with regular ubuntu... but how am i supposed to install it if i can't even fit the dialog boxes on screen ?
[15:16] <RamtinA> gabyy: ok . myself do graphic and work with gimp a little ;)
[15:17] <Pici> EskimoBob: I believe that gets copied there in the kernel post-install tasks
[15:17] <sipior> EskimoBob: in general, try "dpkg -S <filename>". the files you're asking about are part of the kernel package, of course.
[15:18] <sipior> EskimoBob: linux-image-<version>
[15:18] <edbian> usr13: He's NOT using gparted
[15:18] <gabyy> Pawz : use alt and dragg with mouse
[15:18] <EskimoBob> spacebug-: i did install the latest version but those are still missing
[15:18] <jessa> i'm trying to spoof my mac address and i get the error "too many files open in system" does this mean my hardware doesnt support mac spoofing?
[15:18] <dbugger> Hey guys. ive just installed Ubuntu Natty and I was wondering... how could I add a background to the grub (i dont know if what I have installed is grub, grub2 or whatever :S)
[15:19] <gabyy> pawz: hold alt + drag the installation windows up with your mouse or touchpad
[15:19] <gabyy> pawz: you should see the buttons
[15:19] <gabyy> ^_^
[15:19] <Stanley00> dbugger: just copy it to /boot/grub and run update-grub
[15:20] <gabyy> RamtinA : what else you use other than gimp?
[15:20] <dbugger> Stanley00, I think I already did that, and didnt work, but Ill give it another run
[15:21] <gabyy> dbugger : http://ubuntuguide.net/an-easy-way-to-addchange-grub2-background-image-in-ubuntu-11-04
[15:21] <pawz> gabyy, ok thanks i'll try that
[15:21] <RamtinA> gabyy: for pixel 2d just that.
[15:21] <gabyy> dbugger : it should be grub2
[15:22] <RamtinA> gabyy: but i have Windows just for photoshop

[15:23] <EskimoBob> bye
[15:23] <gabyy> ah blender .. the reps exceed the name
[15:24] <Kingsy> what has happened to zsnes? how come its not in the repos anymore?
[15:24] <dbugger> well, guys, that didnt work :( I still the purple background :(
[15:25] <ActionParsnip> Kingsy: there is snes9x on playdeb http://www.playdeb.net/updates/ubuntu/10.04/?q=snes
[15:26] <Stanley00> dbugger: what's the size of your image?
[15:26] <Polah> Afternoon
[15:26] <dbugger> 640x480
[15:26] <mongy> Kingsy, its not for 64bit.  if you want you can force install the 32bit, you need ia32-libs installed.  Ive done it, works ...
[15:27] <ActionParsnip> Kingsy: alternatively:  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:smaxein/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install zsnes; sudo apt-get -f install
[15:27] <RamtinA> gabyy: that's good software
[15:27] <neo_> hello
[15:27] <Stanley00> dbugger: hmm, is that also the size vbeinfo give you on grub console?
[15:28] <dbugger> grub console???
[15:28] <dbugger> vbeinfo???
[15:28] <Bucaneiro> if someone stole my nickname I can crush someone
[15:29] <Bucaneiro> need help with usb drive
[15:29] <Stanley00> dbugger: when you boot up, at the OS selection screen, press C, and you will be at grub console,
[15:29] <TehAndrewRyan> can i force a window to always be active? i'm having an issue with minecraft that loses focus on left/right click
[15:29] <TehAndrewRyan> ubuntu 10.10
[15:29] <neo_> hello
[15:29] <dbugger> Stanley00, aha... and then?
[15:30] <neo_> i need help to portforward in ubunut... i dont have a router and Im uusing a publice wifi... and i have port mapper.jar
[15:30] <Stanley00> dbugger: I dont know, just try to figure out why it's not working...
[15:30] <neo_> any one can help?
[15:30] <dbugger> Stanley00, ok thanks
[15:31] <dbugger> is that size allright for a grub bg?
[15:31] <ActionParsnip> neo_: do torrents not 'just work' decent routers support upnp
[15:31] <neo_> any one
[15:32] <Stanley00> dbugger: I dont know either, it's just say that the image size must match the grub sreen size
[15:32] <Polah> neo_: You don't need to port forward on your system. You just need to open that port in your firewall. Port forwarding needs to be done on routers to forward incoming data on a port to an address behind the router.
[15:32] <neo_> how?
[15:33] <ActionParsnip> neo_: have you ever set any rules on your PCs local firewall?
[15:33] <dob__> hello
[15:33] <neo_> polah, thats what i wan ti do
[15:33] <dob__> cann i make a dist-upgrade von debian 5.0 (lenny) to 10.04?
[15:33] <Polah> neo_: Yes, you need access to the router for that.
[15:34] <Stanley00> dbugger: and one thing more, did the update-grub recognize the image? did it say something like "Found background image: files.jpg" ?
[15:34] <Polah> dob__: No. You can't just move across different distributions of Ubuntu.
[15:34] <neo_> we are testin ncat over the internet
[15:34] <ActionParsnip> dob__: no, you will need to clean install Ubuntu
[15:35] <livingdaylight> Hi
[15:35] <dob__> Polah: Thank u!
[15:35] <dob__> ActionParsnip: Thank you!
[15:35] <dob__> Then i will have to install squeeze.... :-(
[15:35] <ActionParsnip> neo_: did you make any local firewall rules?
[15:35] <neo_> no
[15:35] <ActionParsnip> dob__: nothing wrong with sqeeze :)
[15:35] <livingdaylight> this question is in fact about skype. But relates to Pulseaudio. I want to disable the audio alerts, but see no option for that in skype's options
[15:36] <ActionParsnip> neo_: then it's good to go. Get torenting
[15:36] <neo_> im checking payloads over the internet
[15:36] <livingdaylight> Is there somewhere else I can turn skype down?
[15:36] <dob__> ActionParsnip: Yes i know, but we changed our default server distri to ubuntu last year....
[15:36] <neo_> how t get torrrenting? use a torrent software?
[15:36] <Kingsy> ActionParsnip: thanks.. got it :)7
[15:36] <ubun> can anyone help me with this---> http://paste.ubuntu.com/682939/
[15:37] <dob__> ubun: missing kernel sources?
[15:37] <ActionParsnip> Kingsy: simple websearching
[15:38] <ubun> dob_ let me check again
[15:38] <dob__> ubun: Does /usr/src/linux exist and point to your latest sources?
[15:38] <ActionParsnip> neo_: sure there is one in the default install
[15:39] <neo_> transmission is there
[15:39] <usr13> livingdaylight: Use the volume knob on the speakers
[15:39] <livingdaylight> usr13 that turns everything down (obviously) which I don't want (obviously)
[15:40] <usr13> ubun: What are you trying to compile?
[15:40] <ubun> dob_: yes i have alot of folders in that dir
[15:40] <ubun> usr13: im trying to make bttv driver (video 4 linux)
[15:41] <usr13> ubun: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[15:41] <RamtinA> is there anything for optimize ubuntu?
[15:41] <ubun> usr13: ive tried that. but let me try again
[15:42] <Dr_Willis> RamtinA:  optmize in what way?  theres various tweaks.. but not really doing a lot if any optmizations. :)
[15:42] <ActionParsnip> RamtinA: running a local dns and configuring network manager to use it, like dnsmasq can make the web faster
[15:42] <usr13> livingdaylight: In skype's configuration menus there is an option to let skype contol audio levels, disable it.
[15:42] <RamtinA> ActionParsnip: my computer is very slow
[15:42] <livingdaylight> usr13, do you know where exactly, I dug around and couldn't find anything relevant
[15:43] <ActionParsnip> RamtinA: use LXDE instead of gnome
[15:43] <ActionParsnip> RamtinA: uses fewer resources :)
[15:43] <RamtinA> ActionParsnip: thanks
[15:43] <Dr_Willis> RamtinA:  what are your system specs?
[15:44] <usr13> livingdaylight: options -> sound devices
[15:44] <ucenik17_> k
[15:45] <usr13> livingdaylight: But why change it.  If it is turned down too low, you won't hear the incoming call if you are in another room of the house.
[15:45] <RamtinA> Dr_Willis: CPU  2 , RAm 512 ,
[15:45] <Dr_Willis> 2?
[15:45] <usr13> livingdaylight: Is it really that much louder?
[15:45] <livingdaylight> usr13, ok, and disable "Allow Skype to automatically adjust my mixer levels" ? Will that switch off all sound including phone ringing or just the chat notification sounds on multiple windows which is driving me nuts
[15:46] <wynn> I have seen a lot of network traffic across my wifi interface in the last week and think my 10.10 install might have been infected/compromised. Is there a way to check this?
[15:46] <usr13> livingdaylight: Oh no.  I don't think so.  Look for another set of options
[15:46] <Dr_Willis> RamtinA:  ram is your major bottleneck i imagine... i would dig into the bargin bin sites and trash cans :) and find moar ram..   lxde/lubuntu would be the way to go with that low of ram.
[15:46] <h00k> livingdaylight: from what I get with that, that adjusts your microphone slider up if you're quiet, and down if it's loud.
[15:46] <h00k> !virus | wynn
[15:46] <roue> hola
[15:47] <usr13> livingdaylight: Notifications tab
[15:47] <wynn> I know, but I can't account for why the spike in network traffic across my wifi interface... any ideas?
[15:47] <roue> I'm trying to find old packages, specifically  eucalyptus-cc  2.0+bzr1241-0ubuntu4.1, but I don't know where to look. This is a standard ubuntu maverick package. I can find the current version on the server in my sources.list, but where would I find the older version? Thanks.
[15:47] <usr13> livingdaylight: Options -> Notifications
[15:47] <roue> (I need to roll back a broken update)
[15:48] <newbie|3> hi i'm newbi here
[15:48] <wynn> Virus is the only thing that makes sense (probably because I don't know a lot about the inner workings of linux)
[15:48] <RamtinA> Dr_Willis: ok thanks but i like gnome :(
[15:48] <h00k> wynn: you could fire up wireshark and look at the traffic. What made you notice the extra traffic?
[15:48] <newbie|3> does anybody  know how to configure fingerprint authentication on ubuntu?
[15:49] <usr13> roue: ls -ltr /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.list
[15:50] <usr13> wynn: You may have a virus on a windows box, but not on Linux.
[15:50] <wynn> hook: I'm on it. I didn't realize they made it for linux... my bad. :)
[15:50] <roue> usr13 I don't want th elist of files in each install, I'd like to find .debs for the older versions.
[15:50] <h00k> wynn: alternatively, I see some articles online about some software called 'darkstat' which does similar things
[15:51] <usr13> roue: Now what exactly are you trying to do?
[15:51] <maxagaz> the zoom desktop effect of ubuntu 11.04 is not as good as 10.10, for instance, once I do a zoom, I can't move anymore the screen
[15:51] <Dr_Willis> RamtinA:  you will either want more ram.. or will have to deal with a slow system then.
[15:51] <wynn> Well, my gf's win7 box is acting crazy and thought it may be trying to spread itself over the lan... but when I powered my pc down it seemed to clear up a lot of network traffic...
[15:52] <maxagaz> why did it change ? how to set it back like before ?
[15:52] <RamtinA> Dr_Willis: i know thank you so much :)
[15:53] <arooni-mobile__> help!  inserted a microsd card via sd card adapter into my thinkpad t420 running 11.04 ubuntu.  nothing happens and i'd like my photos!   how can i fix?
[15:54] <roue> usr13 I performed an apt-get update / upgrade and a service has failed. I'd like to roll back packages to the last known good state. I have the list of the previous versions from /var/log/apt/ and I can apt-get install package=version, but it reports it can not find the previous version any longer. I'd like to find those files.
[15:54] <shomon> hi, what is a good and simple to install ldap browser? I just need to see how "granular" it is...
[15:54] <shomon> my ldap tree that is
[15:54] <roue> so the .deb for eucalyptus-cc-2.0+bzr1241-0ubuntu4.1
[15:54] <rumpe1> arooni-mobile__, check, if the card was recognized by looking at "dmesg" or "sudo fdisk -l"
[15:55] <arooni-mobile__> rumpe1, its not seen
[15:55] <usr13> roue: what version of Ubuntu do you have?  (what is the output of lsb_release -a )
[15:56] <usr13> roue: lsb_release -sc
[15:56] <arooni-mobile__> rumpe1, does that mean the reader is broken?
[15:57] <h00k> wynn: Apparently there's a 'nethogs' package that can help, too
[15:58] <usr13> roue: Tell us the output of:   lsb_release -sc
[15:58] <Polah> arooni-mobile__, plug it in and try lsusb
[15:58] <h00k> wynn: also, iftop, (iftop -i wlan0 -B
[15:58] <h00k> )
[15:58] <rumpe1> arooni-mobile__, not necessarily. Maybe just an incompatibility
[15:59] <arooni-mobile__> rumpe1, Bus 002 Device 005: ID 17ef:1003 Lenovo Integrated Smart Card Reader  is listed
[15:59] <Polah> Ah, is it built in. I believe there's typically problems with those, you may be able to find drivers for it (if you don't have them already)?
[15:59] <rumpe1> arooni-mobile__, then it's the card. Maybe try different usb-ports and watch "tail -f syslog"
[16:00] <arooni-mobile__> rumpe1, its built in i cant move it to different usb ports
[16:00] <rumpe1> arooni-mobile__, erm... i meant "tail -f /var/log/syslog"
[16:00] <rumpe1> arooni-mobile__, do you have another reader somewhere? ... or put /var/log/syslog  in a pastebin so i can have a look
[16:01] <Dr_Willis> ive seen built in card readers that are not  USB.
[16:01] <arooni-mobile__> rumpe1, tailing syslog shows nothing when the card is plugged in
[16:01] <arooni-mobile__> i have suspicions it might be the micro sd => sd card adapter
[16:01] <arooni-mobile__> as i know other sd cards have worked with this
[16:01] <arooni-mobile__> without drivers etc
[16:01] <Polah> arooni-mobile__, have you tried with another card?
[16:02] <Dr_Willis> arooni-mobile__:  you may want to check the forums for that exact make laptop. Often theres some kernel options needed for  some special cases.
[16:02] <arooni-mobile__> Polah, http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201102-7230:201102-7315
[16:02] <Dr_Willis> arooni-mobile__:  ive also seen some cases where the card Must be inserted at boot time. or else the system cant see/access it..  (which is annoying, but thats how my netbook is)
[16:02] <arooni-mobile__> Dr_Willis, rather
[16:03] <arooni-mobile__> Polah, i will try with another card
[16:03] <arooni-mobile__> it says out of the box works here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1748475
[16:03] <wynn> hook: thanks for the references. I'm going to look at the network traffic.
[16:03] <usr13> arooni-mobile__: tail -f /var/log/messages
[16:03] <shomon> hello
[16:03] <arooni-mobile__> there are no /var/log/messages
[16:03] <Dr_Willis> arooni-mobile__:  You are not plugging a 'sdhc' card into a normal 'sd' slot are you?   saw that issue once. :)
[16:04] <Green13> ghj
[16:04] <shomon> I just installed luma, the ldap reader, and suddenly the whole desktop went unresponsive, with only a mouse prompt, then it rebooted, after I hit the right alt-sysreq magic key, and then came up with a completely new gtk look before crashing again when I ran luma again...
[16:04] <arooni-mobile__> Dr_Willis, i'm plugging in a microsd hc card into a microsd to sd adapter
[16:04] <shomon> what is so terrible about that ldap browser?
[16:04] <roue> usr13 it's maverick
[16:04] <wynn> hook: are you good with wireshark?
[16:04] <peni> hi, I just installed kde and I can't mount anything, I get permission denied errors (even after giving my password), can you help?
[16:04] <roue> (was off in another window, sorry)
[16:05] <Dr_Willis> arooni-mobile__:  ive seen where a 'sdhc' (high capacity) card wont work on an older 'sd'  slot.   how big is the card?
[16:05] <arooni-mobile__> Dr_Willis, 16gb
[16:05] <Dr_Willis> arooni-mobile__:  be sure the slot says its a sdhc slot perhaps?  in system specs or printed on teh pc somewhere.
[16:05] <arooni-mobile__> Dr_Willis, slot reader should support it according to The multi-card reader only supports SD and SDHC cards with Ubuntu 10.10.
[16:06] <Dr_Willis> Just checking all the things ive seen go wrong in the past. :)
[16:06] <chmielsen> Hey, I have a problem. When I'm building program from a source it is later asking me for a lot of files in directories like /etc /var etc. How can I install it, so it would have files in all these places, like from synaptics?
[16:07] <usr13> roue: http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick-updates/
[16:07] <arooni-mobile__> Dr_Willis, i think its the fault of the adatper
[16:07] <Dr_Willis> chmielsen:  when you do the 'sudo make install'  it normally copies the stuff where needed...  theres also ways to build a .deb from your compiled  stuff. which is a neater way of doing things.
[16:08] <Dr_Willis> arooni-mobile__:  could be.  I got a little  mini-usb adaptor i always use for my micro sd cards these days. i rarely use a microsd-sd adaptor
[16:08] <arooni-mobile__> Dr_Willis, what do you mean mini-usb adaptor
[16:09] <RA_drc> hello, i cant see the top toolbar in any of my ubuntu (11.04) windows, what is wrong?
[16:09] <Dr_Willis> arooni-mobile__:  its a litlte plug about the size of the end of your pinky. :) microsd plugs into it.. it has a usb plug on the other end.
[16:09] <Dr_Willis> arooni-mobile__:  cost me like $5 on amazon.com
[16:09] <usr13> RA_drc: I think it just stays hidden until you move the mouse up there.
[16:10] <m4xx> i've added a network drive to fstab, the box fails to boot if the network isn't connected is there an option to keep this from happening
[16:10] <Dr_Willis> global menu hides till pointer is on it.
[16:10] <RA_drc> usr13: that's not the case, i've moved my mouse up there, and nothing shows up
[16:10] <arooni-mobile__> Dr_Willis, what would you recommend?
[16:10] <Dr_Willis> m4xx:  the noauto option will stop it from auto mounting..
[16:10] <Dr_Willis> m4xx:  and the user option would let the user mount it when they wanted to.
[16:11] <roue> usr13 that seems to have eucalyptus-cc (2.0+bzr1241-0ubuntu4.2)  but I'm looking for eucalyptus-cc (2.0+bzr1241-0ubuntu4.1) (not the trailing 1 instead of 2)
[16:11] <Dr_Willis> arooni-mobile__:  I always use that usb adaptor for mine. it always works. :)
[16:11] <usr13> m4xx: pastebinit /etc/fstab  #Send resultin URL.  Let us have a look.
[16:11] <RA_drc> Dr_Willis: i'm not talking about the global menu, i'm taking about the menu bar for individual applications - i.e., the *top* toolbar like i mentioned earlier.  whether i'm using the calculator, terminal, or document viewer, there is no top menubar available
[16:11] <Dr_Willis> RA_drc:  if the global menu thing some how crashed.. they may not be showing.
[16:11] <m4xx> gimme a sec, lemme try to get it connected to the network
[16:11] <RA_drc> Dr_Willis: how could i restart it
[16:12] <Dr_Willis> RA_drc:  not sure :) log out/back in perhaps?
[16:12] <usr13> roue: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eucalyptus/2.0+bzr1241-0ubuntu4.1
[16:12] <Polah> RA_drc: The top bar that has "File Edit" and so on in Unity is shown on the top panel instead
[16:12] <usr13> roue: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/maverick/i386/eucalyptus-common/2.0+bzr1241-0ubuntu4.1
[16:12] <RA_drc> Dr_Willis: and what do you mean by global menu thing? there's a bar on the left hand side of the screen, and that's working fine
[16:13] <Dr_Willis> RA_drc:  the left side thing is the panel. In unity all the 'menus' are not in th eprograms windows any more. but in the top panel.
[16:13] <RA_drc> Polah: i have no way of dragging/minimizing individual windows
[16:14] <Dr_Willis> sounds like your settings maybe all messed up
[16:14] <RA_drc> Dr_Willis: on top of the individual window, not the top of the screen
[16:14] <Polah> Ra_drc: Do you have a border on the windows?
[16:14] <usr13> RA_drc: Alt-left-mouse-button
[16:14] <roue> usr13 thanks much
[16:14] <usr13> NP
[16:14] <RA_drc> usr13: that was helpful, thanks
[16:15] <usr13> NP
[16:15] <RA_drc> Polah: doesn't seem liek it
[16:16] <Dr_Willis> Hmm the menus have been moved from the app window to the upper panel.  thats the point of the global menu.
[16:16] <Dr_Willis> heres some videos of it.. and how to disable it.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmmRKrmKc2o
[16:17] <Dr_Willis> Hmm. lots of videos there.. :)
[16:17] <Polah> RA_drc: You have the contents of the windows but no bar on top with an exit button or suchlike, or a border? Sounds like your window manager isn't functioning.
[16:17] <wynn> hook: to answer your previous question (that I just saw) I found the network traffic from the wifi light flashing all the time, with no net apps running an no apparent net process running...
[16:17] <RA_drc> Dr_Willis: the global menu is working fine, it's just that there are no bars on top of the individual windows like there normally would be
[16:17] <RA_drc> Polah: that's exactly my problem
[16:17] <Dr_Willis> RA_drc:  you mean the window title bar then....
[16:18] <Dr_Willis> RA_drc:  run 'compiz --replace' if its the title/decorations that are mising. :) or 'metacity --replace'
[16:18] <Dr_Willis> compiz must have crashed.
[16:19] <valthyx> hello, is there any library for ARP? for example, a sniffer has winpcap/libcap as it's library
[16:20] <tmus> valthyx, ldd /usr/sbin/arp
[16:20] <cheako> Hello, ne1 using mcxv with r600 DRI drivers?
[16:20] <cheako> mesa?
[16:20] <tmus> valthyx, is that what you meant?
[16:21] <valthyx> tmus, no, i means something like, a library where i could perform numerous ARP operations like gratuitos arp, arp lookup and so on
[16:21] <RA_drc> Dr_Willis: no, i meant exactly what i said, not what you thought i meant.  always and exactly.
[16:21] <alexd285> hello, I have the gst-keyboard-xkb id:805747 bug and I cannot fix it, any ideas?
[16:21] <cheako> valthyx: pcap
[16:21] <RA_drc> Dr_Willis: but what you suggested worked, so thanks
[16:22] <valthyx> cheako, is it similar to winpcap?
[16:22] <cheako> should let you build and use custom packates, yeah.
[16:22] <tmus> valthyx, that *might* be the vdso library, but I'm not really sure...
[16:22] <RobinJ> Great... I think Ubuntu's killing my battery
[16:23] <gentoo-intel> RobinJ, did you just come from windows?
[16:23] <Dr_Willis> RA_drc:  the 'menubar' is not the 'title bar'
[16:23] <RobinJ> the battery's capacity is only 36% left, 2 days ago it was stil 60%
[16:23] <tmus> valthyx, as far as i know, vdso provides some hooks into the kernel - which might be able to help here...
[16:23] <RobinJ> gentoo-intel: no windblows here
[16:23] <poridge> how can i set it up so users don't have access to list files in other peoples home folders?
[16:23] <gentoo-intel> RobinJ, i was only going to say that newer kernels seem to use much more battery
[16:23] <valthyx> i am not sure if winpcap could really craft custom packets, as far as i know, they are used for sniffing
[16:23] <RobinJ> gentoo-intel: and i mean the total energy it holds when fully charged, not just how much it's charged
[16:24] <Dr_Willis> bbl off to the dr office.
[16:24] <Polah> RobinJ: 2.6.38 kernel has known power issues, not sure if they've been patched or anything.
[16:24] <valthyx> tmus, ok, will check that out
[16:24] <do0> hi
[16:24] <gentoo-intel> Polah, nope kernels > 3 are even worse
[16:24] <RobinJ> Polah: not talking here about a battery wich drains quickly on ubuntu, i mean the actual hardware
[16:25] <alexd285> RobinJ power regression is not fixed in 3.1 kernel also. you have to w8 more
[16:25] <do0> There is a tool which compile python script like python2exe ?
[16:25] <RobinJ> its maximum capacity
[16:25] <RobinJ> alex__c2022: is "power regression" supposed to KILL MY BATTERY?

[16:25] <RobinJ> it takes 2 hours to charge and only 20 to discharge
[16:26] <do0> python2exe for windows which is for Linux(Ubuntu) please?
[16:26] <RobinJ> in the beginning it was the other way around
[16:26] <and7ey> hi all, where should I ask questions about cross compilation on ubuntu?
[16:26] <shomon> do0,  "python"?
[16:26] <valthyx> cheako, will check that out
[16:26] <Polah> RobinJ: You just said you thought Ubuntu was killing. If it's your hardware then it's not Ubuntu unless it's being misused.
[16:26] <shomon> ah you mean something to convert a py file to an exe?
[16:27] <RobinJ> Polah: can forcing active state power management lead to this? :s
[16:27] <Darshan_> need help with postfix
[16:27] <RobinJ> even after it has been disabled again?
[16:27] <do0> shomon, yeah script.py to script or script.exe(after compile)
[16:27] <Polah> RobinJ: No idea. Also, you just said it was on 60% two days ago and is now on 30%, right?
[16:27] <poridge> how can i set it up so users don't have access to list files in other users home directories?
[16:27] <RobinJ> yes
[16:28] <Polah> RobinJ: Without being used?
[16:28] <RobinJ> nç
[16:28] <RobinJ> *no
[16:28] <RobinJ> please READ
[16:29] <do0> shomon, I think there is a tool in Synaptic but i forgot
[16:29] <Darshan_> any body
[16:29] <cheako> valthyx: pcap can be used to build custom packets.
[16:29] <RobinJ> i am not talking about "x% full", i am talking about the maximum power it can hold when fully charged
[16:29] <Darshan_> need help with postfix mail server
[16:29] <shomon> not sure, but you could ask in #python, do0
[16:29] <RA_drc> and7ey: what is your question
[16:29] <valthyx> cheako, ok, thanks i will try to look at the documentation again, i think i missed it
[16:29] <valthyx> thank a lot guys
[16:30] <do0> shomon, oh yeah
[16:30] <Nasked> Buenas tardes
[16:30] <tmus> valthyx, not sure at all though - could be in libc as well...
[16:30] <shomon> sorry not to be more help do0 - I'm sure you can do it though.
[16:30] <and7ey> RA_drc: I am trying to cross compile application for my router (asus rt-n16) and it fails.. looking for right IRC channel to resolve that
[16:30] <valthyx> okay, thanks

[16:31] <ActionParsnip> woot
[16:32] <Escherial> hey, so the "powerpoint" component of libreoffice seems to crash everything when i open a certain pptx file, taking me all the way back to the login screen
[16:32] <Escherial> how is that possible? if it's just libreoffice crashing, why would it bring down the whole thing like that?
[16:32] <poridge> how can i set it up so users don't have access to list files in other users home directories?
[16:32] <Escherial> (not sure if it's the window manager that's crashing, or X, or what)
[16:33] <RA_drc> and7ey: you could try ##linux
[16:34] <ActionParsnip> Escherial: which libreoffice version do you have?
[16:34] <sburwood1> Is there a way to use one screen in a "split-screen" manner to, for example, open a web browser on the left half of the screen and LibreOffice on the other side?
[16:34] <cheako> Hello, ne1 using mcxv with r600 DRI/mesa drivers?
[16:35] <ActionParsnip> Escherial: could try:  mv ~/.libreoffice ~/.libreoffice_old    then retry, may help
[16:35] <Escherial> ActionParsnip: v3.3.3. let me know if you need any more information, and thanks :)
[16:36] <Escherial> i'm mostly just surprised that a single program could cause the os to crash hard enough to require having to log in again
[16:36] <Escherial> perhaps that's naive
[16:37] <poridge> how can i set it up so users don't have access to list files in other users home directories?
[16:37] <ActionParsnip> Escherial: try the rename
[16:37] <Escherial> right, just tried it; let's see what happens :3
[16:38] <Escherial> if i don't respond, it's because everything crashed again @_@
[16:39] <ActionParsnip> sburwood1: compiz has a feature which mimicks the aero snap
[16:40] <sburwood1> ActionParsnip: Can you be more detailed?  I've heard of compiz, I have 11.04, but, as you may imagine, I'm a relative n00b at so much
[16:40] <ActionParsnip> sburwood1: do you use desktop effects on your desktop?
[16:41] <mrskite> hello everyone, i have accidentily installed grub legacy and now my grub menu doesn't come up and and i need to install grub2 again
[16:41] <Escherial> ActionParsnip: yep, crashed again, taking me all the way back to the login
[16:41] <mrskite> any help appreciated :-)
[16:41] <ActionParsnip> mrskite: you can do it from liveCD using a chroot
[16:41] <Escherial> (this is after renaming ~/.libreoffice to ~/.libreoffice_old, which incidentally caused libreoffice impress to complain a few times of missing "BASICS" files before it crashed)
[16:42] <sburwood1> ActionParsnip: Desktop effects?  I'm using the Ubuntu desktop as opposed to the Ubuntu classic version
[16:42] <ActionParsnip> Escherial: could grab the debs for 3.4 and see if it helps
[16:42] <poridge> how can i set it up so users don't have access to list files in other users home directories?
[16:42] <ActionParsnip> sburwood1: yes, you can have effects with that, like cube desktop and wobbly windows etc
[16:42] <Escherial> perhaps there's some other program i could use to edit powerpoint files? i'm not attached to libreoffice in any way
[16:42] <miranda> hey can some one help me with this problem: when i use my sound buttons on my keyboard the following happens: first of all the little menu to adjust sound starts to flicker, then my menu's at the top don't work any more, i cant type normal and can't move any windows... please help
[16:42] <sburwood1> ActionParsnip: I haven't done anything like that.  If there something to download in the Software center?
[16:43] <Escherial> sburwood1: there's a compiz configuration tool that's available via the package manager, lets you get at all of those interesting settings
[16:43] <mrskite> ActionParsnip: ok thanks, how do i use a chroot?
[16:43] <belarm> Anyone had issues with X11 forwarding from 10.04.3 desktop (X11 client/"where it runs") to 10.10 desktop (X11 server/"where it displays")?
[16:43] <ActionParsnip> poridge: sudo chmod o-rxw /home/username       this will give ONLY the owner and its group access to the data (and root obviously)
[16:43] <sburwood1> Escherial: You mean ccsm?
[16:43] <ActionParsnip> mrskite: there are guides all over
[16:44] <ActionParsnip> sburwood1: yes, ccsm is the config tool for compiz
[16:44] <mang0> is xine like vlc? It can play almost every vid format?
[16:44] <ActionParsnip> mang0: there is a shared source of plugins, so anything one player can play, another can
[16:45] <Uncle2> hi
[16:45] <Uncle2> where can i find a folder with my ubuntu cursors
[16:45] <Uncle2> ?
[16:45] <ActionParsnip> poridge: its good to do on multiuser systems :)
[16:45] <mang0> ActionParsnip okay cool. And which media player is smaller (file size way)
[16:45] <poridge> ActionParsnip: thanks
[16:45] <sburwood1> ActionParsnip: Because I also saw something in the package manager called"Simple CompizConfig Settings Manager".  That is not the same thing or what?  I have one called ccsm and the thing I mention here
[16:45] <coconutz> hey, i installed ubuntu 11.4 with 2 tb hd
[16:46] <coconutz> and i got grub error
[16:46] <mang0> !grub > coconutz
[16:46] <mrskite> ok, i dont understand for what kind of guide i should be looking for
[16:46] <ActionParsnip> sburwood1: similar, if you install compizconfig-settings-manager   you will have the full range and can enable the grid plugin which gives the feature
[16:46] <m4xx> !grub > m4xx
[16:47] <sburwood1> ActionParsnip: I am in ccsm.  So I look for something called "grid" and check it?
[16:47] <miranda>  hey can some one help me with this problem: when i use my sound buttons on my keyboard the following happens: first of all the little menu to adjust sound starts to flicker, then my menu's at the top don't work any more, i cant type normal and can't move any windows... please help
[16:48] <wynn> hook: Thanks. Tracked it down to a typo in my port forwarding settings. I opened up 1000 incoming ports... oops.
[16:48] <wynn> h00k:
[16:48] <sburwood1> ActionParsnip: I have "grid' checked already.  I do what to do the split screen?
[16:49] <ActionParsnip> sburwood1: ok then drag a window to the left side of the screen, see what happens ;)
[16:49] <akSeya> hi folks
[16:49] <akSeya> i have a problem with atftpd here.. when I start it, syslog says atftpd: invalid IP address
[16:51] <belarm> akSeya, not knowing atftpd in particular, it sounds like you probably need to set a listening IP address in your config file. Can you paste your config file (as per the title instructions) and let me take a look?
[16:51] <sburwood1> ActionParsnip: That's great !  Any other things that I can do with ccsm that won't destroy the system?
[16:51] <LearnUbuntu> Ubuntu 11.04, when i apply this it shows nothing "$ sudo plymouthd; plymouth --show-splash; for((I=0;I<10;I++)); do plymouth --update=test$I; sleep 1; done; plymouth quit"  i tried this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9034192&postcount=510
[16:51] <akSeya> belarm: here you are http://paste.pocoo.org/show/471398/
[16:52] <akSeya> belarm: i tried to remove the multicast IP but didn't work..
[16:52] <lucid_> hmm
[16:52] <ActionParsnip> sburwood1: my compiz knowledge is limited
[16:52] <akSeya> also, I have disabled my IPv6 but didn't work either
[16:53] <belarm> Are you using it to do multicast?
[16:53] <poitee> Im having a hard time getting dual monitors going with an nvidia card.. card is a gtx 550 ti one DVI out and one HDMI out... no video through HDMI.. it recognizes the monitor just will not display..
[16:53] <mang0> Is it possible to manage my ipod through ubuntu? Like have all my music on ubuntu etc etc?
[16:53] <miranda>  hey can some one help me with this problem: when i use my sound buttons on my keyboard the following happens: first of all the little menu to adjust sound starts to flicker, then my menu's at the top don't work any more, i cant type normal and can't move any windows... please help
[16:54] <belarm> akSeya, are you using it to do multicast?
[16:54] <akSeya> nope
[16:54] <LearnUbuntu> Is this still a bug? http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9034192&postcount=510
[16:54] <xangua> mang0: music at least yes
[16:55] <belarm> Are you using any of its advanced features?
[16:55] <akSeya> nope
[16:56] <mang0> xangua I have an old (2nd/3rd gen) iPod nano, 2GB (!). Would I be able to manage my photo's and music on my iPod through ubuntu...? If so, can you point me to some helpful web pages?
[16:56] <mang0> lmgtfy doesn't count ;)
[16:56] <akSeya> belarm: I just found a strange thing... i have this setting in /etc/default/atftpd ... in /etc/init.d/atftpd I have the USE_INETD and OPTIONS too
[16:56] <shadowman> swf plugins
[16:56] <belarm> Then I'd suggest a simpler server - or removing all of the mcast-related options from /etc/default/atftpd.
[16:56] <akSeya> and nowhere in there have anything calling /etc/default/atftpd
[16:56] <belarm> That is strange. Does it have an xinetd entry?
[16:57] <akSeya> belarm: i have tried tftpd and tftpd-hpa but they didn't work either
[16:57] <xangua> mang0: you can manage music with banshee, the default player
[16:57] <akSeya> no xinetd
[16:57] <belarm> Do you have xinetd installed & running?
[16:58] <Escherial> anyone happen to know of an alternative to libreoffice impress? every time i try to open this particular pptx file, it crashes my machine
[16:59] <mang0> openoffice is an alt to libre
[16:59] <Escherial> i'm kind of curious about what's going on with it, too...what would cause you to have to log in again?
[16:59] <Lasers> mang0: They're the same thing.
[16:59] <mneptok> Escherial: try opening it as a Google Doc?
[16:59] <akSeya> belarm: it is
[16:59] <Escherial> mneptok: not a bad idea :3 thanks
[16:59] <belarm> Actually, akSeya, I'm running tftpd-hpa without inetd.
[16:59] <mang0> Lasers eh? Confused....I've got open office on one computer, and it's the latest version, called open office. On here, it's libre office, latest.
[17:00] <akSeya> belarm: I'll remove atftp and try tftpd-hpa again
[17:00] <akSeya> hold on
[17:00] <belarm> akSeya, I may have just found a bug report that refers to this.
[17:00] <mneptok> FTP? really? /me checks what year this is.
[17:00] <Lasers> mang0: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LibreOffice
[17:00] <calamari> I've been at 1280x960 on this CRT, and I'm considering a 1920x1080 LCD. I adjusted my resolution to 1920x1440 and increased the Gnome DPI setting from 96 to 144. That got the fonts the right size but they are kinda thick and ugly now. Am I doing it wrong?
[17:01] <mang0> Lasers: Ah, gotcha.
[17:01]  * mang0 facepalms
[17:01] <belarm> tftp, actually, mneptok, and it's still very useful in certain situations (it's needed for netbooting and distributing files & firmware to network equipment).
[17:02] <akSeya> belarm: init: tftpd-hpa main process (18794) killed by TERM signal
[17:02] <belarm> That's what you get after trying to start it?
[17:02] <mneptok> belarm: TFTP secluded to the local network is not terrible. but as an actual userspace transfer protocol, FTP has been superceded.
[17:03] <akSeya> belarm: yeap
[17:03] <belarm> Yes, mneptok. FTP is. TFTP is, as I said, still very useful - just not for humans.
[17:03] <belarm> Well, akSeya, that's not good.
[17:04] <akSeya> belarm: may I see your configuration file?
[17:04] <mneptok> belarm: exactly! do NOT let meat speak any sort of FTP. silicon can somewhat more trustworthy. ;)
[17:04] <p2bne> hi there.I need a little support with my new ubuntu installation
[17:04] <akSeya> belarm: mine is the default
[17:04] <p2bne> actually with the ati card
[17:04] <Guest95854> anyone can help ? 2tb hd install on ubuntu dont work
[17:04] <Lasers> p2bne: Ask away. Just spit it out.
[17:04] <mneptok> akSeya: how is TFTPd being invoked?
[17:05] <belarm> ...though I did recently set up an FTP server for a 4TB file transfer from another university.
[17:05] <pzn> I have many problems in my ubuntu 11.04. something has crashed :-) many screens are with weird chars. example clock-set-screen: http://static.inky.ws/image/636/image.jpg how to fix this? any package should be reinstalled?
[17:05] <calamari> oh, fixed it! changed hinting to None and it looks a ton better
[17:05] <belarm> akSeya, I'm using the standard options, but from /etc/default/tftpd-hpa, not inetd.
[17:05] <mneptok> akSeya: and be aware, a lot of daemons deliberately break their default config file to ensure admins actually look at it and edit it for their environment. you'll want to step through that file carefully.
[17:06] <akSeya> hold on
[17:06] <belarm> The issue you were originally having with atftpd seems like it could have been caused by not specifying a --bind-address option if you have more than one NIC.
[17:06]  * lethu is away: Awwwwway...
[17:06] <belarm> mneptok, I've yet to see that behavior in an Ubuntu package.
[17:07] <mneptok> belarm: it's still a good idea to actually parse config files rather than invoke the daemon with the default, IMO
[17:07] <vibhav> hi
[17:08] <bigonrice> uh hello?
[17:08] <belarm> mneptok: I agree in principle, but when you're setting up a home/small server, simply having sane defaults for most of the dozens of services you start with will usually suffice.
[17:09] <guest34> hi!
[17:09] <akSeya> ok.. netstat shows     udp        0      0 *:tftp                  *:*
[17:09] <akSeya> but get and put say Transfer tied out.
[17:09] <mneptok> belarm: you know that line between detail-orientation and anal-retention? it's usally somewhere behind me. ;)
[17:09] <akSeya> s/tied/timed
[17:09] <p2bne> hi, my problem is, it looks ubuntu is using sandy bridge instead of ati graphic card
[17:10] <belarm> akSeya, which server are you currently running?
[17:10] <bigonrice> Hi everyone I have a  question will Mac PC games work on ubuntu its also linux right?
[17:10] <bullgard4_> I just did an update using UpdateManager. 180 MB have been downloaded. I was asked to restaart the computer. Now I do not have Internet access through my ADSL router. The ethernet connection is functional. '~$ route' shows normal output. '~$ sudo dhclient eth0; RTNETLINK answers: File exists.' This answer is unusual. How to proceed?
[17:10] <akSeya> tftpd-hpa
[17:10] <p2bne> how to set it up?
[17:10] <mneptok> p2bne: disable the onboard in the BIOS?
[17:10] <Escherial> ok, no idea what's going on with this thing now @_@ i restarted completely, and it seems that it's switched to some other theme entirely. selecting a new theme in the "appearance" control panel does nothing
[17:11] <akSeya> belarm: here is it's config file http://paste.pocoo.org/show/471403/
[17:11] <xangua> bigonrice: osx is not linux #fail
[17:11] <vibhav> bullgard4_ your intwr
[17:11] <belarm> akSeya, you read my mind.
[17:11] <p2bne> oh god, not as brute force as this?
[17:11] <bullgard4_> vibhav: I beg your pardon?
[17:11] <Escherial> actually, i take that back; it does somewhat change things, but not completely...?
[17:11] <bigonrice> hey no reason to be rude
[17:11] <belarm> akSeya, that is exactly what I have in mine, and it matches what netstat shows. What are you using as a client?
[17:11] <p2bne> I mean, software-side, any idea?
[17:11] <akSeya> tftp in command line
[17:11] <Escherial> brb, attempting a logout/login to hopefully resolve things
[17:12] <vibhav> bullgard4_ your internet dies not work?
[17:12] <bigonrice> Anyways take care
[17:12] <akSeya> from tftp-hpa package
[17:12] <bullgard4_> vibhav: Please use better English. I do not understand you.
[17:13] <p2bne> ubuntu actually sees the graphiccard, I justthinkthe intel oneisselected
[17:13] <p2bne> sorry for my space bar
[17:13] <vibhav> bullgard4_ sorry , my iphone dictionary sucks
[17:13] <Melior> I just dl ubuntu desktop from official site, but does it have raid support? Command is not found: cat /proc/mdstat
[17:14] <belarm> akSeya, have you made any changes to the default firewall?
[17:14] <bullgard4_> vibhav: I see.
[17:14] <vibhav> !raid | Melior
[17:14] <belarm> akSeya: Also, does the transfer work if you connect from the same host running the server?
[17:14] <Melior> vibhav: yes, but what am i missing? Could it be that i run the live version?
[17:14] <Escherial> seems like things are somewhat back to normal...it's back to the default theme, at least, and not some weird hodgepodge of "dust" and another theme
[17:15] <Melior> or just need the alternate version?
[17:15] <pzn> what is wrong with my 11.04? http://static.inky.ws/image/636/image.jpg this is the clock set screen. many other screens are with the same problem
[17:15] <mang0> xangua I plugged in my iPod but I get this: http://img7.imagebanana.com/img/iet1ided/Untitledwindow_007.png
[17:15] <vibhav> Melior ....could be....
[17:17] <Melior> vibhav: i don't want to install ubuntu on raid disks. i think that's what the alternative version is for. Just need to mount it
[17:17] <akSeya> belarm: no changes to the firewall... on the same machine it works
[17:17] <vibhav> Melior ok....Best of luck!
[17:19] <Paolo_CT> Is there a deja dup channel?
[17:19] <Paolo_CT> When I try to recover a backup I have on my server, which has a los of gpg's, It will erase almost everything and It leaves me with only one backup (from almost 300 gpg's, now I only have 15)
[17:20] <Paolo_CT> *a lot
[17:21] <vibhav> g
[17:21] <ActionParsnip> mang0: do you have ifuse installed?
[17:21] <mang0> ActionParsnip No, I just plugged in the iPod and hoped for the best :/

[17:22] <ActionParsnip> mang0: sudo apt-get install ifuse
[17:22] <mang0> ActionParsnip that's what I mean :P
[17:22] <mang0> ActionParsnip done
[17:22] <vibhav> Paolo_CT i never heard of a drja dup channel....you could use the fourms
[17:23] <ActionParsnip> mang0: it's different, ifuse is not an instruction to apt-get, install is
[17:23] <mang0> Oh I see, okay
[17:23] <mang0> well done sudo apt-get install ifuse anyhow
[17:24] <mang0> ActionParsnip do I have to do anything else now?

[17:43] <MagePsycho>  i have 10 folders .. and i want to exclude 1 or 2 folder and copy rest, how do to that ?
[17:43] <MagePsycho> cp * - foldernottocopy destination-folder
[17:43] <MagePsycho> ???
[17:44] <shomon> I think either cp or rsync has an exclude option, or you could use pipes?
[17:44] <AJ_Z0> MagePsycho: cp -r dir1 dir2 dir4 dir7 ... /new/dir/
[17:44] <Charlos> how to search for sbnc ? I already install done in terminal
[17:45] <cmdbbq> right now the box just boots to a blank screen
[17:45] <DeltaEpsilon> another question related to Ubuntu. it looks like an gnome-panel applet crashes from time to time during startup. Does any one experiencing this problem?
[17:45] <pzn> need a minimal hint about where to start about solving this issue: http://static.inky.ws/image/636/image.jpg ubunbu11.4 clock set screen, same problem on many other windows
[17:46] <sharat> when i press the Fn keys for brightness on my hp pavilion laptop i can see the indicator changing but there is no change in screen brightness. what must be the issue?
[17:46] <glebihan> DeltaEpsilon, it happens sometimes, it's a known bug in gnome2 : https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=637219
[17:47] <glebihan> DeltaEpsilon, unfortunately I'm not sure it will get fixed as gnome 2 is on the way out
[17:47] <DeltaEpsilon> glebihan, it is these kind of basic features problem that  make me go back to Windows 7 every time
[17:47] <MagePsycho> i currently noticed that i have 30 folders n files .. n i want to copy all those except one folder called: var to new directory.. can you help me command for this guy?
[17:47] <DeltaEpsilon> win 7 is rock solid :-(
[17:48] <elgruntox> anyone know why when i turn off my laptops monitor in monitor settings my external goes black and all I can see is the mouse
[17:48] <rhin0> is it hell
[17:48] <DeltaEpsilon> it is sad to see these small bugs still exist in Ubuntu after so  many years!
[17:48] <Arthur7x> Does somebody know a program in Linux which changes webcam's view so you can show what you're viewing on your computer instead of showing what the webcam is facing?
[17:48] <elgruntox> DeltaEpsilon: ya ive been trying for 2 days now to get a damn external monitor working in ubuntu
[17:49] <elgruntox> when in windows i just plug it in and it works
[17:49] <rhin0> deltaepsilon can you get off the "anti ubuntu" diatribe ... there are no fundamental bugs in ubuntu -- there are FAR more in windoze
[17:49] <rhin0> monitor problems will just be your laptop
[17:49] <DeltaEpsilon> rhin0, sorry, but in my experience win 7 is rock solid
[17:49] <Arthur7x> Does somebody know a program in Linux which changes webcam's view so you can show what you're viewing on your computer instead of showing what the webcam is facing?
[17:49] <rhin0> function key screen switch etc
[17:49] <elgruntox> what
[17:50] <rhin0> deltaepsilon in my experience ubuntu is rock solid
[17:50] <elgruntox> how is it just my laptop
[17:50] <blizzow> How do I config the screensaver in oneiric?
[17:50] <IdleOne> !ot
[17:50] <elgruntox> i can see the mouse on my external display
[17:50] <oCean> DeltaEpsilon, rhin0 ok, enough. Please drop the windows-ubuntu discussion
[17:50] <elgruntox> its an ubuntu problem not a laptop problem
[17:50] <DeltaEpsilon> elgruntox, what gfx card?
[17:50] <elgruntox> intel 3000 integrated
[17:51] <DeltaEpsilon> elgruntox, I also have that card
[17:51] <DeltaEpsilon> elgruntox, what are you trying to do>?
[17:51] <elgruntox> use my external monitor as the main display
[17:51] <Arthur7x> Does somebody know a program in Linux which changes webcam's view so you can show what you're viewing on your computer instead of showing what the webcam is facing?
[17:52] <elgruntox> right now it only lets me set it to 1024x768 when i click share views
[17:52] <elgruntox> or w/e in monitor settings
[17:52] <DeltaEpsilon> elgruntox, I might be able to help you with your problem. lucky you :-) hang on
[17:52] <elgruntox> i dont want multiple screens i just want my main monitor to be used
[17:52] <elgruntox> since the screen on my laptop is broken
[17:53] <DeltaEpsilon> elgruntox, xrandr --output VGA1 --auto --output LVDS1 --off --primary
[17:53] <DeltaEpsilon> run that command
[17:54] <elgruntox> should i repalce vga1 with hdmi1
[17:54] <elgruntox> since im outputting over hdmi
[17:54] <DeltaEpsilon> elgruntox, yes, if you are using hdmi
[17:55] <DeltaEpsilon> elgruntox, xrandr --query    this will list the monitors
[17:55] <elgruntox> neat that worked
[17:55] <elgruntox> now how do i make this the default
[17:55] <elgruntox> i think the refresh rate is a little off though
[17:55] <elgruntox> its pretty fuzzy
[17:56] <DeltaEpsilon> elgruntox, go to the keyboard shortcut utility of gnome
[17:56] <DeltaEpsilon> add a shortcut by using that command
[17:56] <DeltaEpsilon> then use e.g. win key + F3  as shortcut
[17:56] <DeltaEpsilon> xrandr --output LVDS1 --auto --output VGA1 --off --primary
[17:56] <elgruntox> how do i change the refresh rate
[17:56] <DeltaEpsilon> that is the command to switch back to the laptop monitor, replace VGA1 with HDMI1
[17:57] <DeltaEpsilon> elgar, it should be in the screen preference tool of gnome
[17:57] <DeltaEpsilon> elgruntox, ^^
[17:57] <elgruntox> hm
[17:57] <elgruntox> in the monitor settings it only says 60hz
[17:57] <elgruntox> and i cant change it
[17:57] <elgruntox> unless thats the wrong menu
[17:57] <DeltaEpsilon> then you can't change it
[17:58] <elgar> What should be?  I wasn't chatting (that I knew of).
[17:58] <elgruntox> welp
[17:58] <DeltaEpsilon> elgruntox, why do you want to change it.
[17:58] <elgruntox> i dont know it seems a little fuzzy
[17:58] <elgruntox> like the rate is too high
[17:58] <cmdbbq> when i load grub and try to boot into recovery, i get a list of options including clean, dpkg, failsafeX, netroot, root, etc. the dpkg option tries to fix broken installations, but it can't resolve the server to generate a new database. what command could i run from the networked root prompt that would attempt the same fix?
[17:58] <elgar> ahhh, I was typo'd.  Back to sleep.
[17:59] <elgruntox> DeltaEpsilon: so when i reboot will i need to redo that command
[17:59] <elgruntox> i guess i can just make a hosrtcut for that too
[17:59] <DeltaEpsilon> elgruntox, yes, that's why I tell you to create a shortcut
[17:59] <DeltaEpsilon> it is very handy
[18:00] <rickup> Does anyone know of a away to assign a role based on some field (CCK, Taxonomy, etc) at signup and not after ?
[18:00] <DeltaEpsilon> elgruntox, I can only help you this much. :-)
[18:00] <DeltaEpsilon> good luck
[18:01] <rickup> oops wrong windows sorry

[18:04] <oCean> coeos: 11.10 (beta) discussion/help in #ubuntu+1 channel
[18:04] <coeos> oCean, I asked there.  nothing but crickets
[18:04] <TheEvilPhoenix> coeos:  patience is a virtue
[18:05] <oCean> coeos: that still doesn't make it on topic here. I have no clue whether it's different between 11.04 and 11.10
[18:05] <cmdbbq> i do not understand how everything could fail so completely so as to completely fsck xserver. I have reset the xorg.config and reinstalled the driver and still it freezes!
[18:06] <coeos> oCean, okay, how does one do it in natty?
[18:06] <oCean> coeos: that was actually my point, I don't know, or I would've told you :)
[18:07] <Guest68384> Q) has anyone added /boot-isos/.iso to superGRUB2Disk ? im after a quick how to add files...
[18:07] <pzn> please someone help me. I need a hint about how to start... my ubuntu is buggy! too many windows with "bugs"... it is a fresh 11.04 alternate 64bits install. see example of a window: http://static.inky.ws/image/636/image.jpg my computer hardware is ok.
[18:07] <cmdbbq> does anyone know what NetworkManager could do to crash the xserver?
[18:07] <Guest68384> pzn did the livecd work fine ?
[18:07] <pzn> Guest68384, yes, livecd did OK
[18:08] <coeos> oCean, thanks for the attention (can't say thanks for the help :) )
[18:08] <MagePsycho> hi
[18:08] <MagePsycho> i tried
[18:08] <MagePsycho> cp !(_projects|_demos|_tmp|_assets) _projects/dev/
[18:08] <MagePsycho> but it didn't work
[18:08] <dr-willis> Guest68384:  with the right entry in gryb.cfg it can work. i got some links at delicious.com/dr_willis
[18:08] <Somelauw> If I have an external harddrive and I want to use it for both backing up both linux and windows files and you want it to be very reliable, would you either partition it as nfts or would you double-partition it with ntfs and ext4?
[18:08] <Guest68384> pzn then there is no reason why it should not just work...
[18:08] <MagePsycho> jailshell: !: event not found
[18:09] <MagePsycho> cp !(_projects|_demos|_tmp|_assets) _projects/dev/ gave me the following err: jailshell: !: event not found
[18:09] <MagePsycho> any idea guys
[18:09] <Guest68384> dr-willis, im after adding the files to the directory ie use SG2D as base then include the sub dir with a number of iso, but i want to make it as an image with growisofs or geniso but im not sure how.
[18:10] <Guest68384> pzn what are your bugs | issues ?
[18:10] <orazio> hi, when I try to install ubuntu server 32bit 10.04 LTS, Installation get sstucked on "Partman: No matching phisical volumes found" "Reading all physical volumes. This may take a long". It remains there for more than 20 minute! I have a SSD SATA Hard Drive, Corsair F40. Any hits?
[18:11] <pzn> Guest68384, many screens with "label empty" message... the shutdown screen has this:  "label empty/suspend/hibernate/..." and many windows with unknown or weird chars
[18:11] <Guest68384> run sudo /etc/init.d restart from a terminal
[18:12] <Guest68384> soz forgot the gdm lol
[18:12] <Guest68384> pzn, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[18:12] <pzn> Guest68384, full machine reboot does not fix this.
[18:12] <bluj> as of about the last week or two, ubuntu 10.04 cant seem to keep track of logged in users? e.g. running who is empty, or 'w' says 0 users. i rebooted the box and when i logged in it did work again for a second, e.g. it should my currently logged in session (1 user). now ive done some outbound ssh's and its 0 users again, whats up?
[18:12] <Guest68384> or maybe service gdm restart i think its changed..
[18:13] <Guest68384> pzn that just does the gdm, you are running Gnome ?
[18:13] <Guest68384> pzn, what video card you got ?
[18:13] <zteam> Hi
[18:14] <Guest68384> pzn # lspci | grep VGA
[18:14] <ProphetZ> I connect to a hidden wireless network. Any way to make the system connect automatically upon startup? Right now I have to select it, then provide Admin password. Not desirable for an "Internet" account.
[18:14] <zteam> Does anybody here knows if there is a way to restore systray so any apps can use without changing color of the gnome panel on the same time
[18:14] <zteam> ?
[18:15] <pzn> Guest68384, yes, running default ubuntu, that is gnome. "00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)"
[18:15] <cmdbbq> ok, going through logs, and i have boot errors about dependancy issues. can anyone help me with using dpkg to scan and repair installed packages?
[18:16] <Guest68384> check your cable!
[18:17] <Guest68384> dr-willis, im looking but cant find anything about supergrub2disk?
[18:17] <Guest68384> brb
[18:18] <orazio> I seem I have the same problem of the ubuntu forum! http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1624536    9.04 supports Corsair SSD Hard drives, whereas 10.04 no. Should be possible?
[18:18] <tasos99> i tried to fsck.ext4 my damaged filesystem from a live CD but it says its mounted or explicitly opened for another program, what should i do?
[18:18] <ProphetZ> Is there a good way to make Ubuntu 11.04 connect to a hidden wireless connection upon startup?
[18:19] <Guest68384> dr-willis, something like :- growisofs -Z /dev/cdr=/tmp/super_grub_disk_hybrid-1.98s1.iso
[18:19] <Guest68384> growisofs -M /dev/cdr/boot-isos/ -J -R /tmp/clonezilla-live-20110721-natty.iso, that works lol
[18:19] <zteam> Does anybody here knows if there is a way to restore systray so any apps can use without changing color of the systray on the same time???
[18:21] <pzn> Guest68384, check my cable? it is a notebook :-)
[18:21] <Guest68384> lol
[18:22] <Guest68384> pzn get the updates, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade, or use the update manager..
[18:23] <pzn> Guest68384, already did this 2 reboots ago :-(
[18:23] <lucenut> So I downloaded easytether for ubuntu and it installed through the software center. But I can't figure out how to start the program.
[18:23] <lucenut> I don't see it under Applications. In the software center the button says "Reinstall" so it looks like it's installed.
[18:23] <mounir> Hi Joey
[18:23] <Guest68384> well i was having issues with intel driver and used the ppa for upstream and that worked..
[18:23] <Guest68384> pzn, ^
[18:24] <pzn> Guest68384, I'll try the ppa then. thanks!
[18:24] <Guest68384> pzn https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates

[18:25] <prakas> unity is so terrible. how to disable the left dock bar?
[18:25] <tasos99> i tried to fsck.ext4 my damaged filesystem from a live CD but it says its mounted or explicitly opened for another program, what should i do?
[18:26] <Guest68384> has anyone build a custom supergrub2disk that included other iso on it ? how do you do it!
[18:26] <prakas> is there a way to hide the left dock bar in unity?
[18:26] <prakas> it takes a lot of space
[18:26] <kscloud> so I'm having issues with wireless in Oneiric, anyone else having issues?
[18:27] <kscloud> (Sometimes it will slow to a crawl and won't go about 4kbps until I plug it into a line)
[18:27] <dr-willis> prakas:  ccsm tool has settings for that
[18:28] <prakas> where is the ccsm tool?
[18:29] <prakas> will ubuntu really drop support of gnome 2 shell in ubuntu 11.10 and higher?
[18:29] <ActionParsnip> prakas: its moving to gnome3
[18:29] <knightstalker> prakas,its dropped in the beta edition
[18:29] <dr-willis> prakas:  it allready has been dropped in beta
[18:29] <knightstalker> but in beta edition repositories,we already have a fall back,which is like gnome 2
[18:30] <prakas> unity is terrible. doesnt let me launch apps easily. i have to type term in order to launch terminal
[18:30] <prakas> and the left docking bar takes a lot of space
[18:30] <ActionParsnip> prakas: there is an unofficial fork of gnome2 called 'mate' omgubuntu has a story on it
[18:30] <prakas> unity is a step behind! seriously
[18:30] <dr-willis> unuty is not terriable. ut is a work in progress however
[18:30] <conathan> I was wondering,  ubuntu has /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu.  Where can I find the flags/patches ubuntu used to build binutils that way?
[18:30] <knightstalker> prakas,fall back mode does the job for you then,Unity is improved,GNOME Shell is available in repos,and you can always try Xfce,Kde
[18:30] <mrintegrity> prakas: try gnome3 with gnome-shell.. i am using it and really got used to it now
[18:30] <dr-willis> prakas:  go try the beta.
[18:31] <mrintegrity> not tried unity though
[18:31] <ActionParsnip> prakas: unity2d replaces ubuntu classic in oneiric
[18:31] <joe__> 11.04 kills my mini battery! > 1 hour
[18:31] <prakas> does unity2d has menus that can be selected via the mouse?
[18:31] <knightstalker> prakas,no... :p,its alot like Unity
[18:31] <prakas> unity doesnt let me use the mouse to launch apps which is annoying
[18:31] <prakas> lol
[18:32] <xyzzy___> Can I use AppArmor to block network access on a per-application basis?
[18:32] <prakas> then it is fail!
[18:32] <ActionParsnip> prakas: there are more DEs than gnome, try an alternative if you dislike unity
[18:32] <prakas> looking up omgbuntu
[18:32] <knightstalker> prakas,as said,use GNOME 3 Fall Back if you enjoy classic,I am unsure if it will be in repositories of final edition of 11.10,but its in beta repositories so will probably be in 11.10 repositories =)
[18:33] <ActionParsnip> prakas: are you serious? Sure you can launch apps with mouse

[18:34] <Somelauw> If I have an external harddrive and I want to use it for both backing up both linux and windows files and you want it to be very reliable, would you either partition it as nfts or would you double-partition it with ntfs and ext4?
[18:34] <F1skr> for some reason my ethernet card isn't recognized by ubuntu, it does work if i boot up a live-cd and in windows just not under this current installation, any ideas how i can troubleshoot this, and fix it?
[18:34] <ActionParsnip> prakas: click ubuntu icon in top left then drop down the installed apps, scroll down and you will see ALL available apps. You can drag them to the unity bar for convenience
[18:34] <prakas> ActionParsnip: yes but i have to click once then type in the search bar the name of the app to have it displayed and then click, in case of menus it was easier, just point and another menu pops up
[18:35] <tasos99> i tried to fsck.ext4 my damaged filesystem from a live CD but it says its mounted or explicitly opened for another program, what should i do?
[18:35] <urlin2u> Somelauw, ubuntu will read ntfs windows wont read ext4 easily .
[18:35] <joe__> How can I automate backing up files from my ubuntu server to windows nas
[18:35] <ActionParsnip> prakas: no, you don't HAVE TO type, as I said
[18:35] <cmdbbq> tasos99: open disk utility from System > Administration and unmount the HDD in question
[18:36] <prakas> ActionParsnip: or click on All Applications or drag them to the left dock. i dislike the left dock. takes space of my 10" netbook screen
[18:36] <tasos99> cmdbbq: Im using a live CD, nothing is mounted at all
[18:36] <knightstalker> prakas,search for terminal once,put it in shortcuts
[18:36] <urlin2u> prakas, try the applications buton in the left menu.
[18:36] <ActionParsnip> joe__: cron is one solution
[18:36] <Somelauw> I heard ubuntu can read ntfs perfectly, but I would like it if even more people would confirm it.
[18:36] <prakas> i want to get rid of the left dock ;)
[18:36] <F1skr> i run linux 2.6.38-11
[18:36] <knightstalker> Somelauw,it does read it perfect =)
[18:36] <urlin2u> Somelauw, yes it is true.
[18:36] <cmdbbq> tasos99: it may have automounted the hdd, does it show up at all in disk utility?
[18:37] <pzn> Guest68384, ppa did not upgrade anything :-( it is  there in sources list, but all "default karmic 11.4 64bits" packages are newer than ppa
[18:37] <ActionParsnip> prakas: thats different and makes sense. I suggest you switch to xfce or lxde
[18:37] <ActionParsnip> prakas: or even kde
[18:37] <Somelauw> knightstalker, urlin2u: Thanks
[18:37] <tasos99> cmdbbq: it doesnt show up at 'mount'
[18:38] <tasos99> cmdbbq: and 'umount /dev/sda6' claims that the device isnt mounted
[18:38] <prakas> ActionParsnip: my screen is 10" and that bar doesnt hide when an app is lauched. it takes a lot of area of my screen
[18:38] <ActionParsnip> prakas: it can be made to hide
[18:38] <prakas> how?
[18:38] <ActionParsnip> prakas: so will use zero screen
[18:38] <dr-willis> the panel can autohide. and you can make it smaller
[18:39] <ActionParsnip> prakas: its a setting in ccsm.
[18:39] <prakas> ccsm is a command line app?
[18:39] <dr-willis> ccsm tool. unity plugin settings
[18:39] <xyzzy___> Wow, I just discovered that I've switched to an OS with *no* per-application network control! Not even 3rd party! It's all based on blind trust that "you don't need it"!

[18:40] <urlin2u> xyzzy___, you switched to windows?
[18:40] <tasos99> cmdbbq: thats what fdisk-l told me
[18:40] <cmdbbq> strange
[18:40] <prakas> :)
[18:40] <LearnUbuntu> How can i make PDF to text and count the texts?
[18:40] <balr0g> i tried to apt-get glib-2.0 but it seems doesnt work...
[18:41] <prakas> i feel i should try xubuntu instead. the menus help me work faster
[18:41] <LearnUbuntu> prakas, LearnUbuntu
[18:41] <lucenut> OK, so I found I can start easy tether in a terminal session with "easytether connect" but then I have to keep the terminal window open.
[18:42] <xyzzy___> urlin2u: Per-application firewalls are standard in Windows. I've probably been through at least 5 in my time. A week on Ubuntu and I can't even find one. I'm watching stuff from the default install merrily connect out as we speak
[18:42] <lucenut> How else can I start easy tether?
[18:42] <tasos99> cmdbbq: the filesystem damage tricks fsck into thinking its already being used
[18:42] <tasos99> cmdbbq: lsof and fuser show nothing
[18:42] <xyzzy___> urlin2u: No idea who it's connecting to or why it would need to
[18:43] <area51pilot> \join ##windows
[18:43] <ActionParsnip> prakas: thats a better reason to dislike it. I'm kinda halfway, i can take or leave it but use it so I can support it better
[18:43] <trism> balr0g: the files required to compile software are generally in the -dev packages, in this case you need libglib2.0-dev
[18:43] <prakas> xubuntu looks much better i saw in screenshots now
[18:43] <urlin2u> xyzzy___, you have silent ports, and no danger of the badware stuff like windows, it is a different thing. If you try to run linux like windows you will have problems.
[18:43] <LearnUbuntu> I  have my desktop screen with VGA. And from another PC i am connected to SSH. But from another PC using SSH how can i open Leafpad on the Screen?
[18:43] <tasos99> i tried to fsck.ext4 my damaged filesystem from a live CD but it says its mounted or explicitly opened for another program, what should i do?
[18:44] <ActionParsnip> balr0g: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc
[18:44] <prakas> ActionParsnip: working with unity perhaps make me like 5% slower ;) in overall without the menus
[18:45] <prakas> menus were a cool idea. curse on gnome 3 and unity!
[18:45] <urlin2u> prakas, quit complaining you just installed it and are ranting.
[18:45] <Pici> xyzzy___: I believe you could craft an apparmor profile to restrict an application's ability to make network connections, but that is rather in-depth.
[18:45] <ActionParsnip> LearnUbuntu: i believe it's:  export DISPLAY :0:0 && leafpad
[18:45] <prakas> urlin2u: installed it for 2 days
[18:45] <LearnUbuntu> ActionParsnip, thank you, was just googleing..
[18:46] <urlin2u> prakas, great and you are using the support channel with abuse.
[18:46] <ActionParsnip> prakas: as i always say, there is more than gnome
[18:46] <joe__> urlin: Just boot'em
[18:46] <xyzzy___> urlin2u: That's the classic answer. I don't know what is particularly Windows-centric about per-application network control. Linux comes with per-port or per-IP access control in the kernel - it strikes me that per-application is a logical third option. Windows security people realised this 10 years ago. People in the Ubuntu forums spent 10 years telling people it's so great already you just don't need it.
[18:46] <prakas> ActionParsnip: thanks for recommending xfce :)
[18:46] <ActionParsnip> LearnUbuntu: use websearch to verify, I'm not 100% on the syntax
[18:47] <erez_> היי
[18:47] <LearnUbuntu> ActionParsnip, no worries thanks :)
[18:47] <xyzzy___> Pici: I'm not fussed about in-depth, I'd settle for "possible" at this stage.
[18:47] <urlin2u> xyzzy___, it is classic as it is true, your using a bias.
[18:47] <erez_> איך אני יכול לזהות את ההתקן של כרטיס הקול שלי ולהוריד ולהגדיר אותו כמו שצריך?
[18:47] <joe__> How can I change my hostname via commandline ?
[18:47] <joe__> erez> ignore!
[18:47] <guntbert> !hostname | joe75
[18:47] <urlin2u> xyzzy___, I dual boot windows but I started on open source.
[18:48] <guntbert> !hostname | joe__
[18:48] <joe__> ubottu: ty
[18:48] <guntbert> joe__: that last line was uncalled for
[18:48] <prakas> urlin2u: i am not abusing the channel. i just felt i was doing things slower since using unity. unity makes me do things slower thats all
[18:48] <balr0g> hello guys, im newbie, and trying to install a software outputs this: http://pastebin.com/rZpK6e5Y can anyone please help me to solve it? tks
[18:48] <joe__> 10-4
[18:48] <ActionParsnip> joe__: you need to change both files. I suggest you run:  sudo -i  then edit them
[18:48] <balr0g> i tried to apt-get glib-2.0 but it seems doesnt work...
[18:49] <guntbert> prakas: this is a support channel, ranting here doesn't help anyone
[18:49] <trism> balr0g: the files required to compile software are generally in the -dev packages, in this case you need libglib2.0-dev (repost from above, sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-dev;)
[18:49] <urlin2u> prakas, #ubuntu-offtopic is where that belongs, this is support.
[18:49] <ActionParsnip> joe__: if a system cannot resolve its own name then sudo will not work, hence sudo -i
[18:50] <xyzzy___> urlin2u: This "only windows heads want per-app firewalls" reasoning sounds to me like defending Ubuntu by trying to turn a deficiency into a feature. Again, I don't understand why it's unreasonable to want to control network access on an application basis. The best argument against it I've heard is basically that linux apps are more trustworthy. I don't work at that level of face-value.
[18:50] <balr0g> trism, im trying it...
[18:50] <andre_> hi, having some trouble installing mysql thro "gem install mysql"
[18:50] <ActionParsnip> balr0g: you didn't answer my query
[18:50] <erez_> יש כאן מישהו?
[18:51] <guntbert> xyzzy___: please stop discussing - this channel is for support
[18:51] <BarkingFish> !he | erez_
[18:51] <hf> What is the channel for Oneiric?
[18:51] <xyzzy___> guntbert: Thankyou for your support. I'm going to write myself a per-application firewall
[18:51] <BarkingFish> hf, #ubuntu+1
[18:51] <ActionParsnip> Hf: #ubuntu+1
[18:52] <dr-willis>  sure you are...
[18:52] <tasos99> i tried to fsck.ext4 my damaged filesystem from a live CD but it says its mounted or explicitly opened for another program, what should i do?
[18:52] <erez_> בבקשה אני צריך קצת עזרה
[18:52] <dr-willis> tasos99:  check mount command. unmount it.
[18:53] <balr0g> ActionParsnip, sorry, i got a dosconnection, could you repeat it please?
[18:53] <xyzzy___> dr-willis: It can't be that hard. Some sockets, some interfacing with iptables...
[18:53] <tasos99> dr-willis: its not mounted, the drive contains false data, which tricks fsck
[18:53] <andre_>  Official Ubuntu Support Channel | IRC Guidelines: http://goo.gl/cEF1w | IRC info: http://goo.gl/Pgv9o | Pastes to http://goo.gl/ixcN9 | Release Notes: http://goo.gl/tuSz
[18:53] <xyzzy___> dr-willis: Windows folk managed it ages ago ;)
[18:53] <BarkingFish> erez: אנחנו לא יכולים לעזור לך כאן. אף אחד בערוץ הזה מדבר עברית.
[18:54] <BarkingFish> try /join #ubuntu-il
[18:54] <dr-willis> xyzzy___:  whatever. i dont see the point in doing it.  they did it because they ciuldent do ut the right way ;)
[18:54] <urlin2u> xyzzy___, so if you are so unsatisfied maybe open source is not for you. By the way your not talking with a so called fanboy a OS is a OS to me the all have the good the bad and the ugly, be careful with your projections..
[18:54] <BarkingFish> fail. I forgot the RTL mark...
[18:54] <tasos99> dr-willis: lsof and fuser show nothing (but are incomplete), unmount states that the drive isnt mounted, mount hangs
[18:55] <dr-willis> i recall a few sites duscussing how rhe diff firewall methods work
[18:55] <chewy> guys, i m looking for a laptop, 13 to 15", i3 at least, better no ati card (nvidia or intelHD is fine for me) and a HUGE touchpad. Apple is not an option (toooooo expensive)
[18:55] <andre_> hi, having some trouble installing mysql thro "gem install mysql", keeps telling me "no definition for multiple stuff" got no idea whats going on
[18:55] <dr-willis> tasos99:  that is nasty
[18:55] <chewy> any suggestions?
[18:56] <xulli> Do you know how to do the auto fill (tap button) incase sensitive  in the bash (terminal)?
[18:56] <chewy> i can t use the web for this, cause i NEED a big touchpad, and this is not a criteria... :(
[18:56] <tasos99> dr-willis: it is :D, well i need to find a way to run fsck bypassing the fact that it is '' mounted ''
[18:56] <xangua> !hardware | chewy
[18:56] <kyle__> chewy: I got a lenovo g470, i5, intel graphics.  Only thing that doesn't work under linux is the SD card reader.  So far this has been a great laptop.
[18:56] <mkanyicy>  andre_: have you tried to use software center or synaptic?
[18:57] <urlin2u> chewy, this is support not which computer you should get, look on the web.
[18:57] <dr-willis> tasos99:  i would suggest one if the 'system rescue live cds' or trying some alt live cd like tinycorelinux
[18:57] <chewy> ok i m sorry. but then i could avoid asing for support later :)
[18:57] <Guest68384> dr-willis, im trying this :- http://www.supergrubdisk.org/wiki/SGD_Howto_make_Custom only when i do step 4 for making the iso it fails to boot under qemu? # genisoimage -o /tmp/custom.iso /tmp/custom-iso/
[18:58] <urlin2u> chewy, a faulty cause and effect my friend.
[18:58] <tasos99> dr-willis: System rescue live cs will not have any problems with it?
[18:58] <tasos99> cause i already have a rescue live cd
[18:58] <Guest68384> the folder name boot-isos changes to boot_iso ?
[18:58] <dr-willis> Guest68384:  ni idea. i normslly make custom flash drives. not cd ir dvss
[18:59] <Guest68384> kk thanks
[18:59] <dr-willis> tasos99:  one way to find out
[18:59] <orchata> Hi guys. I created a wireless network to share in my room with my friends. But they do not see it. I am on a laptop with ubuntu 11.04 and everybody else is using win7
[19:00] <dr-willis> orchata: an ad hoc network?
[19:00] <urlin2u> orchata, with a router?
[19:00] <orchata> Nope, I am on a laptop with an ad-hoc
[19:01] <dr-willis> i recall some linux wireless drivers not working with ad hoc
[19:01] <mkanat> What's the standard partition editor on Ubuntu?
[19:01] <dr-willis> never dud get my linux laptop and other linux top to adhoc
[19:02] <ActionParsnip> mkanat: gparted
[19:02] <xangua> gparted mkanat
[19:02] <_s0rta-gnu> gparted
[19:02] <mkanat> Awesome, thanks you guys.
[19:02] <andre_> hi, having some trouble installing mysql thro "gem install mysql", keeps telling me "no definition for multiple stuff" got no idea whats going on
[19:02] <dr-willis> what no fdisk? ;)
[19:02] <prakas> there is possibly a bug idk. when a shell script has a line starting with sudo and i run the shell script without sudo, it doesnt ask me to input the root password and automatically runs the command as non-root. has anyone tried this?
[19:02] <pr0ton> why doesnt this work? find . -name "*.info"
[19:02] <ActionParsnip> dr-willis: or parted :)
[19:02] <pr0ton> i want to search for files with a .info extension?
[19:03] <Pici> pr0ton: find /path/ -iname "*.info"
[19:03] <pr0ton> doesnt work
[19:03] <Pici> pr0ton: Why not?
[19:03] <prakas> i didn't have the issue with ubuntu 10.04. it always asked me to enter the password when running the shell script if contained sudo inside
[19:03] <pr0ton> Pici, it should be recursive for me
[19:03] <ActionParsnip> pr0ton: iname is all i can advise extra
[19:03] <Pici> pr0ton: find is normally recursive.
[19:04] <pr0ton> the files are actually just .info
[19:04] <pr0ton> they're not like, a.info or anything
[19:04] <pr0ton> maybe ubuntu hides files with a . as first character?
[19:04] <ActionParsnip> pr0ton: could make a file with the extensions so it will at least find that
[19:04] <Pici> pr0ton: Linux normally hides files which start with .  Use ls -a to see them, find should bring them up though.
[19:05] <ActionParsnip> pr0ton: * will include hidden files
[19:05] <pr0ton> ActionParsnip, and the command would be?
[19:06] <ActionParsnip> pr0ton: touch findme.info
[19:06] <pr0ton> no, u said, "* will include hidden files"
[19:06] <pr0ton> touch creates a file
[19:07] <stillParsnip> pr0ton: put it in a folder someplace
[19:07] <pr0ton> ?
[19:07] <mkanyicy> pr0ton: your find syntax was OK
[19:08] <GhostWolf> hi all, i know theres a simpler way to get samba installed and configed with 11.04, i just did a fresh install cause i was having a bad hard drive. how would i do that if anyone can help
[19:08] <stillParsnip> StillParsnip: this is actionParsnip. Went through a dead area
[19:08] <pr0ton> mkanyicy, it doesnt show .info files though
[19:08] <Pici> pr0ton: Are you sure they exist?
[19:08]  * meta-coder is here.
[19:08] <pr0ton> yes
[19:08] <pr0ton> they're in a symlinked folder though
[19:08] <pr0ton> however when i checked for json
[19:08] <stillParsnip> GhostWolf: sudo apt-get install samba
[19:08] <pr0ton> it showed my json files under the symlinked directory
[19:09] <Pici> pr0ton: find doesn't normally traverse symlinks.
[19:09] <pr0ton> so i cd'd and ran it
[19:09] <pr0ton> it worked
[19:09] <pr0ton> just read man pages
[19:09] <pr0ton> i need to add a -H or something
[19:09] <GhostWolf> stillParsnip, ok but what bout configuring it? do i need tostill do that as i remember doing alot of stuff for samba before
[19:09] <stillParsnip> pr0ton: ahh (mental note)
[19:09] <mkanyicy> pr0ton: try this: 'find . -type f | grep .info'
[19:09] <meta-coder> I found a bug in banshee. Where can I report?
[19:10] <Pici> prakas: Can you pastebin the script you are running?
[19:10] <MonkeyDust> meta-coder: launchpad
[19:10] <Pici> !bugs | meta-coder
[19:10] <stillParsnip> GhostWolf: i always use smb.conf but i believe nautilus can configure shares
[19:10] <urlin2u> meta-coder, you need a launchpad account I believe.
[19:10] <meta-coder> Pici: Banshee can be called a part of Ubuntu or its derivative?
[19:11] <GhostWolf> stillParsnip, ok
[19:11] <meta-coder> urlin2u: Ok, I'll get a launchpad account soon.
[19:11] <mkanyicy> pr0ton: that should definitely work if you have .info files in your 'pwd'
[19:11] <Pici> meta-coder: its part of Ubuntu.
[19:11] <pr0ton> mkanyicy, ok, i fixed it... thanks a lot
[19:11] <mkanyicy> pr0ton: ok
[19:12] <prakas> Pici: hold on let me see
[19:12] <gdoteof> I have a pretty fresh 11.04 install and my sound is coming out of my speakers whether or not my headphones are plugged in
[19:12] <meta-coder> I have trouble making Ubuntu detect ADSL2+ modem. I know DSL is "obsolete," but where I live it isn't.
[19:13] <luite> is it obsolete?
[19:13] <stillParsnip> GhostWolf: http://paste.ubuntu.com/683782
[19:13] <GhostWolf> stillParsnip, also last time i installed 11.04 i remember someone told me that samba should be into system settings, i don't see anything in system settings that has samba.
[19:14] <meta-coder> How to make Ubuntu detect ADSL when connected through USB?
[19:14] <stillParsnip> GhostWolf: the bottom sections are all i add :-) then use: sudo smbpasswd -a andy    to set password
[19:14] <GhostWolf> stillParsnip, i already have a bookmark of that
[19:15] <BluesKaj> meta-coder, maybe considered "obsolete" in some large urban areas , but it's still very much in use everywhere else
[19:15] <andre_> hi, having some trouble installing mysql thro "gem install mysql", keeps telling me "no definition for multiple stuff" got no idea whats going on
[19:15] <stillParsnip> meta-coder: run:  lsusb    use the 8 character hex id to find guides
[19:15] <GhostWolf> stillParsnip, i really don't need that part as i said i already have a bookmark of it.
[19:15] <Cypher2> hello
[19:15] <Pici> andre_: That is literally what it says?
[19:16] <meta-coder> stillParsnip: lsusb will give me a 8 charater hex id?
[19:16] <Cypher2> sorry to barge in... i am experiencing an issue with bzr push
[19:16] <stillParsnip> GhostWolf: that's all i know of samba shares. Simple and effective
[19:16] <Cypher2> i would like to commit a fix to a couple bugs
[19:16] <stillParsnip> meta-coder: yes
[19:16] <Pici> Cypher2: No need to apologize, feel free to ask (all on one line please).
[19:16] <meta-coder> stillParsnip: Should I run lsusb while the router is connected or when it is not?
[19:16] <agoole22> I just did an update, and my touchpad stops working sporatically, anyone else experience this ?
[19:17] <GhostWolf> stillParsnip, well meaning of simple it should've had had something in the system settings, least for 11.04 i remember that part and someone from here telling me to open that but theres nothing on system settings for samba
[19:17] <stillParsnip> meta-coder: while connected. Usb router sounds obscure
[19:18] <Cypher2> alright here goes... i fixed ubuntu-mono, tested my local build, committed changes and am ready to push. the error is as follows: nathanel@Mercury:~/build-area/ubuntu-mono$ bzr push lp:~nathanel.titane/ubuntu/oneiric/ubuntu-mono/fix-842331-842338
[19:18] <Cypher2> Permission denied (publickey).
[19:18] <Cypher2> bzr: ERROR: Connection closed: Unexpected end of message. Please check connectivity and permissions, and report a bug if problems persist.
[19:18] <meta-coder> stillParsnip: On some forums I read running lsusb before and after connecting the router helps in identifying something..
[19:19] <Pici> Cypher2: ehh, I suspect this is a better question for #launchpad, Theres some environment variable that I think you need to set before you can do that.
[19:19] <Pici> Cypher2: Can't remember what it is though.
[19:19] <prakas> Pici: just pasting a line with sudo inside the script doesnt work. can i paste here
[19:19] <meta-coder> Pici: I have the router drivers for windows. Can I make the drivers work under Wine in Ubuntu?
[19:19] <Pici> meta-coder: no
[19:19] <prakas> Pici: it asked me to enter root password in 10.04
[19:20] <Cypher2> understodd, yet i have difficulty finding an answer. all the variables i've attempted to set do not work: ssh-add  ssh_auth_sock
[19:20] <prakas> Pici: but in 11.04 it doesnt ask me the password
[19:20] <Pici> prakas: It should still ask you in any other release.
[19:20] <meta-coder> Pici: S
[19:20] <prakas> Pici: #!/bin/bash
[19:20] <prakas> ls -l
[19:20] <prakas> sudo cp test.desktop /usr/share/applications/test.desktop
[19:20] <agoole22> what packages could break my touchpad ?
[19:20] <Pici> prakas: Are you sure that sudo is not currently caching your password when you run it?
[19:20] <meta-coder> Pici: *oh typo
[19:20] <prakas> Pici: it doesnt ask me to enter the root password
[19:20] <Pici> prakas: Does it copy the file?
[19:21] <prakas> Pici: no and doesnt show errors either
[19:21] <trism> Cypher2: did you: bzr lp-login nathanel.titane; yet?
[19:21] <Cypher2> ya
[19:21] <prakas> Pici: but running the shellscript with sudo does copy it
