[13:49] <o__oll> david__, it sounded like you were booting to the KDE desktop automatically after, which by deafult wouldn't launch unity. If that were the case it would have been an easy fix
[13:49] <zaksoldier> Hi
[13:49] <rinkukokiri> atheros ar928x o__oll
[13:49] <o__oll> I'm just an intermediate user myself and haven't used unity much so i can't help much there unfortunately
[13:49] <rinkukokiri> er  wols srry o__oll
[13:50] <o__oll> np
[13:50] <david___> after i installed KDE then loged in to KDE then restarted my pc then i selected Ubuntu then Unity and panels didn't load
[13:50] <rinkukokiri> wols_, well, it seems if one user logs out while another is logged in the network applet disappears from the gnome-panel and I then have no internet connection
[13:51] <david___> so why the panels wont load :(
[13:51] <cdavis> How can I download headers for linux-2.6.35-28 I need those headers because I am running natty on that kernel
[13:51] <rinkukokiri> Can anyone tell me an alternative way to connect to a wireless connection (in case the network applet crashes again?)
[13:51] <o__oll> david__,  click log out. When you're logging back in there should be a dropdown box somwhere that allows you to chose your WM
[13:51] <o__oll> there select unity
[13:52] <wols_> rinkukokiri: that's not a wlan problem but very very much sounds like the typical shitty network manager idiocy :P
[13:52] <david___> i did
[13:52] <david___> it wont load :(
[13:52] <rinkukokiri> wols_, well. is there an alternative?
[13:52] <wols_> rinkukokiri: use wicd if you must have a network manager thingie or use /etc/network/interfaces directly
[13:52] <dr_willis> david__,  you could try a  'unity --reset' or 'unity --reset-icons'
[13:52] <dr_willis> david__,  ill exit lubuntu here and go to unity. I got kde, lxde and unity all installed... brb
[13:53] <david___> ok i go try it i will be back
[13:53] <squantrill> Printing at cli works using lpr,  openoffice printing works from firefox or other gnome apps it doesn't on ubuntu 10.04 any ideas where to look ?
[13:53] <ActionParsnip> rinkukokiri: tried a different wireless channel?
[13:53] <david___> plz tell dr_willis i brb
[13:53] <rinkukokiri> ActionParsnip, can't try another channel when i can't manage the connection.
[13:53] <ActionParsnip> rinkukokiri: use a wired connection, or another pc
[13:54] <rinkukokiri> ActionParsnip,  that's not anywhere near what I was asking for... ._.
[13:54] <Castatroy> hello folks where does /etc/resolv.conf file get populated
[13:54]  * rinkukokiri realizes how useless this chat/release has become
[13:54] <rinkukokiri> ty wols_     peace all
[13:54] <Castatroy> when i manually change it - it get overwritten
[13:54] <squantrill> nobody knows about printing  ?
[13:55] <dr_willis> david__,  i see the same issue here.. got Kubuntu+ Ubuntu + lubuntu installed.. first time ive tried unity since installig kde... panels are not loading
[13:55] <cdavis> Castatroy: dhcp will rewrite that file each time
[13:55] <wols_> Castatroy: whenever you request a IP via dhcp it gets overwritten. there are several ways around it. the cleanest being a dhcp setting not to request a DNS server
[13:55] <dr_willis> david__,  unity --replace   made it come up however..
[13:56] <dr_willis> david__,  luckly i had a icon on the desktop to launch a terminal.. alt-f2 was not working either
[13:56] <wols_> dr_willis: ctrl+alt+f2 is always there...
[13:57] <cdavis> Castatroy: /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf has a prepend section where you can put your own dns
[13:59] <cdavis> How can I download headers for linux-2.6.35-28 I need those headers because I am currently running natty on that kernel
[13:59] <david___> :) thanks
[13:59] <dr_willis> !headers
[13:59] <david___> when u said that
[13:59] <david___> i searched for unity the i run that in KDE
[13:59] <Castatroy> cdavis: which parameter do i set for a nic in the /etc/net/interfaces file to set dns
[14:00] <david___> now is works thanks :)
[14:00] <david___> it*
[14:00] <wols_> cdavis: packages.ubuntu.com also has it if your current sources.list doesn't have it
[14:00] <scarleo> I don't get any update notifications any more after updating to Natty
[14:00] <david___> dr_willis thanks for the info
[14:00] <wols_> Castatroy: do you use DHCP on that NIC?
[14:00] <dr_willis> david__,  no idea why kde and unity would conflct like that.
[14:01] <Castatroy> wols_: please no
[14:01] <david___> but look i searched on the start menu of the KDE Unity
[14:01] <wols_> Castatroy: post-up script then I guess
[14:01] <david___> the run that now it's working
[14:01] <cdavis> Castatroy: I don't think you can setup DNS in the interfaces file
[14:01] <david___> then*
[14:01] <dr_willis> david__,  no idea what you mean by that.. You expected to find  'unity' in the kde menus?
[14:02] <dr_willis> Running Unity under kde.. would be.. weird. :)
[14:02] <ActionParsnip> possible though
[14:02] <david___> yah when u open KDE menus search for Unity
[14:02] <david___> lol
[14:02] <david___> yah it looks weird
[14:02] <Castatroy> cdavis: i guess thats where the difference lies between debian and ubuntu then
[14:02] <dr_willis> i cant even imagine why you would want to david__
[14:02] <david___> brb
[14:03] <dr_willis> I recall years ago accidently geting systems running gnome and kde both at the same time.. caused all sorts of weirdness
[14:03] <ActionParsnip> lxde+ unity2D = winning
[14:03] <AdvoWork> ive got a user "ftpmain" and im trying to make a user with pretty much the same permissions but so they can only view a certain folder when they login to my ftp. any ideas please?
[14:03] <dr_willis> so far i really havent seen much  to relate unity to 'win' :)  but it is getting improvements
[14:03] <david___> ok back
[14:03] <dr_willis> Now if the panel icons and top menu bar would quit getting all messed up when i run a browser..
[14:04] <dinkdink> i was on debian for a while.. locked up all the time
[14:04] <dinkdink> i was on 6.02 i believe it was
[14:04] <david___> lol but did u try run it on KDE?
[14:04] <dinkdink> on ppc64 architecture of course
[14:04] <dr_willis> david__,  i dont see the point of even trying thazt
[14:05] <dinkdink> no i went with fluxbox and xorg
[14:05] <dr_willis> You can run the gnome-panel on unity. :)
[14:05] <david___> lol it looks cool
[14:05] <david___> gnome?????
[14:05] <dinkdink> i'm on lxdm and LXDE in lucid now
[14:05] <dinkdink> LDXE?
[14:05] <Pici> !support
[14:05] <Pici> !ot
[14:05] <dr_willis> run gnome panel in unity and you get the normal top and bottom panels. and the side launcher panel. :)
[14:06] <david___> lol
[14:06] <david___> come on just try Unity for a sec in KDE
[14:06] <david___> tell me what u think
[14:06] <dinkdink> i would never do that
[14:06] <david___> dr_willis
[14:06] <Jack___> hey
[14:07] <dinkdink> o
[14:07] <Jack___> hello all
[14:07] <dr_willis> unity panel still messed up on me when i run  chromium/google chrome and go to a flash game like the angry birds site.
[14:07] <zaksoldier> Hi man
[14:07] <Jack___> can any 1 tell me how to remove ubuntu from windows boot
[14:07] <dinkdink> kde has better leaner running apps than gnome
[14:07] <david___> look now u on Ubuntu?
[14:07] <zaksoldier> Manual delete maybe
[14:07] <Jack___> no i am on windows
[14:07] <dr_willis> Jack___,  you did a WUBI install?
[14:08] <dinkdink> windows.. blehk
[14:08] <Jack___> everytime i start windows asks me to choose win 7 or ubuntu ..
[14:08] <dr_willis> wubi/installing inside windows.. should have a entry in the add/remove programs   tool.
[14:08] <ActionParsnip> Jack___: how did you install it?
[14:08] <zaksoldier> Is good to choose
[14:08] <fa_effekt> is there a way to get ad hoc working on an ubuntu desktop?
[14:08] <Jack___> i dont remember may be pen drive
[14:08] <david___> dr_willis u are on Ubuntu?
[14:08] <ActionParsnip> Jack___: do you have ubuntu still installed?
[14:08] <squantrill> could my printing problem be caused by gtk2 ?
[14:08] <Jack___> no i have formatted that drive
[14:08] <zaksoldier> I did this also
[14:09] <ActionParsnip> fa_effekt: sure, use network manager
[14:09] <dr_willis> fa_effekt,  ive either had it work... or not work at all. :( i think it may have some relationship to the esact wireless card/drivers.
[14:09] <ActionParsnip> Jack___: then use your windows install cd and reinstate the bootloader, ask in ##windows
[14:09] <zaksoldier> Install ubuntu if you are in windows
[14:09] <dr_willis> david__,  using unity right now. so yes.
[14:09] <david___> can login to KDE plz
[14:09] <fa_effekt> as of now the wireless card is reading all the wireless networks in the local area
[14:09] <david___> can you*
[14:09] <lsolesen> How do I change what happens on shutdown in Natty?
[14:09] <Jack___> isnt there any way to remove it  from windows.?
[14:10] <dr_willis> david__,  not right now
[14:10] <fa_effekt> but can't seem to get ad hoc to work
[14:10] <david___> ok one more thing
[14:10] <dr_willis> Jack___,  if you did a FULL/Normal install - you will want to reinstall the windows bootloader. then delete the linux partitions
[14:10] <fa_effekt> cell phone can't see the ad hoc station
[14:10] <dr_willis> Jack___,  a wubi install - will have an add/remove programs entry
[14:10] <zaksoldier> From boot.ini
[14:10] <david___> i want to run game like NFS HP 2010 on Ubuntu how i do that
[14:10] <Jack___> yeah from boot.ini
[14:10] <Jack___> how to do that
[14:10] <dr_willis> !wine | david__
[14:11] <david___> but i tryed that it wont let install that game idk why
[14:11] <dr_willis> Jack___,  if its in your boot.ini then you did a wubi install  i imagine... again.. see if theres a entry for it in the add/remove programs  tool/
[14:11] <zaksoldier> You will see 2 long lines delete 1 line that contains ubuntu and save
[14:11] <bazhang> check the appdb and join #winehq david___
[14:11] <bazhang> !appdb | david___
[14:12] <Auriga> david__, Not all games work under wine. Check at the wine website if others have installed it successfully or not.
[14:12] <david___> oh ok
[14:12] <david___> kk thanks everyone
[14:12] <Jack___> ok how to fix it through windows cd
[14:12] <AdvoWork> if ive got this user: ftp.user:x:1048:2002::/home/default/ftp.user:/bin/false   how would i make a user thats similar to that, but that has a specific path set for when they login?
[14:12] <karthick87> Where to get the firefox logs?
[14:12] <Jack___> its not there in add/remove
[14:12] <dr_willis> Jack___,  it all depends on if you did a WUBI insatll.. or a normal install.
[14:13] <Jack___> a normal install
[14:13] <dr_willis> Jack___,  if its a normal insatll. Youi want to reinstall the windows bootloader. then delete the linux patitions. Unless you want to keep linux in some way
[14:13] <zaksoldier> Ok
[14:13] <dr_willis> !mbr
[14:13] <Jack___> ok tell me how dr willis
[14:14] <dr_willis> Jack___,  reinstalling the windows mbr depends on your windows version. see #windows or the dozens of web sites that tell how to do it.
[14:14] <dr_willis> a real windows cd often makes it a lot easier.
[14:14] <david___> oh
[14:14] <Jack___> i have a real windows 7 cd
[14:14] <dr_willis> theres other live cds out that can do it also
[14:14] <david___> what about like OME users???
[14:14] <zaksoldier> Or via cfg boot in windows recovery console
[14:14] <bazhang> Jack___, ##windows for help
[14:14] <dr_willis> MS likes to change the commands to fix the mbr in every reelase.
[14:15] <Jack___> no 1 is replying in windows
[14:15] <dr_willis> david__,  theres windows cds you can download
[14:15] <dr_willis> MS has some repair cd images somewhere..
[14:15] <dinkdink> 7 puts vista to shame
[14:15] <david___> rly??? i didn't know that
[14:15] <bazhang> Jack___, that does not make this the windows support channel be patient
[14:15] <zaksoldier> Windows channel
[14:15] <bazhang> dinkdink, lets stay on topic please
[14:15] <Jack___> ha ha ok
[14:15] <dinkdink> lets not and say we did
[14:16] <dinkdink> ;)
[14:16] <Auriga> Anyone using dual monitors?
[14:16] <ActionParsnip> Auriga: i'm sure millions do
[14:16] <wols_> Auriga: ask your real question
[14:16] <Jack___> i thought linux users are the former master users of windows
[14:16] <Lanlost> o__oll, are you still here?
[14:16] <zaksoldier> Yes
[14:16] <dr_willis> Jack___,  are people whio have gotten sick of windows....
[14:16] <ActionParsnip> Jack___: not strictly
[14:16] <Auriga> wols_, That was the real Q, no point in elaborating if no one online says yes...
[14:17] <Jack___> Sick of windows.? try Mac
[14:17] <Stockholm_Angel> help I need to fly somehere and therefore need to encrypt my disk again but its not showing up in xorg
[14:17] <zaksoldier> Linux cant be hacked
[14:17] <wols_> Auriga: you are wrong
[14:17] <bazhang> !xrandr | Auriga
[14:17] <Lanlost> o__oll, do you remember how I said the game works fine without the disk and only needs it for the cd audio? I just need the .ccd/.img into .bin/.cue so that I can mount it in dosbox so that the cd audio will play?
[14:17] <dr_willis> Jack___,  i will pass on macs - id rather use windows.
[14:17] <Stockholm_Angel> http://paste.ubuntu.com/629802/
[14:17] <wols_> zaksoldier: you talk rubbish. don't do that
[14:17] <Stockholm_Angel> zaksoldier: lies
[14:17] <Auriga> zaksoldier, Do you bother with Compiz still?
[14:17] <Jack___> linux cant be hacked.?
[14:17] <bazhang> zaksoldier, Jack___ thats enough
[14:17] <Stockholm_Angel> linux can be hacked if the user makes a weak password
[14:17] <Auriga> zaksoldier, or more the point the cube?
[14:17] <Jack___> hey angel
[14:17] <zaksoldier> Hi zero
[14:17] <david___> dr_willis what u think about Ubuntu vs Win7?
[14:17] <Auriga> wols_, Okay... You're right.
[14:18] <ActionParsnip> david___: wrong channel for that dude
[14:18] <Jack___> stockholm is in netherlands right
[14:18] <bazhang> Jack___, please stop
[14:18] <dr_willis> The Compiz Cube in Unity - has issues.. Cube on Multi Monitor setups have issues... Unity on Multi Monitor setups has issues
[14:18] <david___> oh so sorry
[14:18] <Jack___> what happened bazhang.?
[14:18] <cloventt> This is the ubuntu support channel, if you want to discuss random things about ubuntu please go to #ubuntu-offtopic
[14:18] <Chotaz> why does brasero corrupt every single CD I burn with it?(it's not the drive, growisofs works just fine for disk images) If I drag soem filed into a blank disc and click write to disk
[14:18] <dr_willis> One good thing about Unuity - it has gotten people to forget about that silly cube for the most part.
[14:18] <Chotaz> after burnint itll say that the files may be corrupt
[14:18] <bazhang> Jack___, that has zero to do with ubuntu support.
[14:19] <dinkdink> notice Jack___ sweden
[14:19] <dr_willis> Chotaz,  ive heard bad things about brasero also.. try one fo the many other burning apps.
[14:19] <Jack___> oh no friendly chat allowed here.?
[14:19] <Auriga> dr_willis, I have no issues with it thus far, just in Windows it makes a huge difference to productivity. In Linux though... The cube seems more valuable than a dual setup.
[14:19] <Pici> Jack___: Use #ubuntu-offtopic for chat.
[14:19] <Lanlost> o__oll, AcetoneISO lets you make an ISO from a cdrom. I mounted the .ccd using gCDEmu. It mounts two seperate drives. One for the audio and fir the data. I then went to AcetoneISO and told it to make an audio image of /dev/sr0 (where it mounded the audio) and it made a bin that is like 80mb. Tehnically, this should work for the game as it will look for this portion of the disk anyway
[14:19] <Pici> Jack___: #ubuntu is strictly support.
[14:19] <dr_willis> I find the cube useless.
[14:19] <Lanlost> pici, before you say it for me too.. sorry
[14:19] <cloventt> Jack___: if you want to chat randomly go to #ubuntu-offtopic
[14:19] <Lanlost> I thought I was in offtopic
[14:19] <Chotaz> dr_willis, suggestion please?
[14:19] <dr_willis> !burn
[14:19] <dr_willis> Chotaz,  personally i always use k3b
[14:20] <o__oll> lanlost that should work, alternatively just rip the music and burn it as audio cd to a disc
[14:20] <o__oll> and instert that disk
[14:20] <dr_willis> xfburn seems ok also.
[14:20] <Stockholm_Angel> dr_willis: i feel Pici putting there kick ban bootson
[14:20] <dinkdink> wodim is great
[14:20] <dinkdink> growisofs too
[14:20] <Chotaz> huh, I dont feel like downloading a whole new dm just to get a burning app
[14:21] <dinkdink> both great
[14:21] <Chotaz> wodim
[14:21] <Chotaz> ill try that
[14:21] <david___> ok i am going to WineHQ chat take care bye
[14:21] <dr_willis> Chotaz,  who said you had to....
[14:21] <dinkdink> chotaz are you burning iso to cd
[14:21] <dr_willis> Chotaz,  k3b is just a kde app..
[14:21] <david___> thanks for everything
[14:21] <Chotaz> i try to install k3b and it asks me to download 245MB worth of files,
[14:21] <dr_willis> Chotaz,  big deal.... ive seen theme packs bigger then that.
[14:22] <ActionParsnip> Chotaz: yep, because it uses Qt, not GTK
[14:22] <dinkdink> Chotaz: well before you run off to wodim.. it's a command line tool
[14:22] <Chotaz> dinkdink, no problem with that
[14:22] <ActionParsnip> xfburn is sweet and light
[14:22] <dinkdink> man up ;)
[14:22] <dinkdink> \
[14:22] <Chotaz> I just need to burn 3 cds urgently.
[14:22] <dr_willis> I saw some new optical burning app mentioned on omgubuntu or webupd8 yesterday also
[14:22] <dr_willis> Chotaz,   try xfburn then
[14:22] <lenzoid> Help!!! after installing nvidia proprietary drivers I ended up with a ubuntu one-ish desktop. I uninstalled ubuntu-one though but it's still.. where did the old gnome UI go??? Pls help
[14:23] <dr_willis> !classic | lenzoid
[14:23] <dinkdink> chotaz do this sudo wodim --devices
[14:23] <dr_willis> No idea what Ubuntu-one-ish means....
[14:23] <lenzoid> dr_willis: Thnks ;D
[14:23] <Chotaz> dinkdink, did
[14:24] <lenzoid> Unity, right that was its name....
[14:24] <dr_willis> sounds like the nvidia drivers may not be in use.. or miss-installed.
[14:24] <dinkdink> Chotaz: sudo wodim -eject -tao speed=96 -v -data /dev/scd# /pat/to/image.iso
[14:25] <Rob_K> hi, i was wondering if there is a tool that lists any system changes like a changelog, perhaps any packages that have been added or removed? does such a tool exist??  thx
[14:25] <dinkdink> Chotaz: replace /dev/scd# with your actual burner and path to image to actual location of image
[14:25] <Chotaz> its a buncha files, not an iso, i'd use growisofs for that
[14:25] <AdvoWork> ive got 2 users that im trying to make the same. uid=1048(testuser) gid=2002(matrixdomain) groups=2002(matrixdomain) AND uid=2002(newuser) gid=100(users) groups=100(users),2002(matrixdomain)  how do i make newuser have the gid 2002?
[14:25] <dinkdink> Chotaz: well cant help you there.. havent done that myself
[14:26] <Pici> Rob_K: There are a number of logs in /var/log for that. Look at /var/log/dpkg.log for package installs/removes
[14:26] <Chotaz> xfburn worked just fine, thanks dinkdink, ActionParsnip and dr_willis
[14:26] <ActionParsnip> yeah light apps with the day again :)
[14:27] <wols_> AdvoWork: you can edit your /etc/passwd  but be careful
[14:27] <Rob_K> Pici: thanks i will take a look.  I do a weekly backup of my server, and i though if there was a tool to create a list of changes for the past week, it would be nice to include in the backup
[14:27] <monkey> game development channel?
[14:27] <dinkdink> Chotaz: but if i were you i might looking into creating an iso of your files
[14:27] <dr_willis> !inf
[14:27] <bazhang> !alis | monkey
[14:27] <Chotaz> dinkdink, any particular reason?
[14:28] <dinkdink> Chotaz: working with images is less messy
[14:28] <Pici> Rob_K: I personally use logwatch, it sends me a daily email with log entries for the logs I want to look at.  I believe  you can specify the frequency as well.
[14:29] <Rob_K> Pici: that sounds like exactly what i'm looking for, thanks
[14:30] <Castatroy> which command can i use to convert a file system from fat32 to ntfs
[14:31] <DarsVaeda> Hi, I'm just in the process of upgrading to natty - whilst it shutdown my msyql server..which is a bit "not so good" cause I can work with it right now, the upgrade process should mention that!
[14:32] <dinkdink> Castatroy: i would look into gparted, they make a live cd
[14:32] <AdvoWork> wols_, they now match, but what controls if a user can login or not? my one user can, my other one cant :S
[14:32] <ThinkT510> Castatroy: if you want to keep the data on it, back the data up first then format it with gparted
[14:32] <Castatroy> ok
[14:33] <monkey> i m new to backtrack 5................where to find beginners manual or guide?
[14:34] <sudokill> their website
[14:34] <ThinkT510> !backtrack | monkey
[14:34] <bazhang> monkey, go to backtrack channel for that
[14:34] <dinkdink> backtrack has a channel here bro
[14:34]  * dr_willis wonders why beginners always seem to want to use backtrack,.
[14:34] <sudokill> makes people leet
[14:34] <ActionParsnip> monkey: ask in #backtrack-linux
[14:34]  * edbian wonders why backtrack people always seem to come to the #ubuntu channel
[14:34] <dr_willis> !manual | monkey
[14:34] <ActionParsnip> edgars: no idea
[14:35] <dr_willis> edbian,  i think the bt people havent changed the irc client to go else where by defaultg
[14:35]  * sudokill think it's funny some people use backtrack as their main os, because they think it's more secure
[14:35] <dinkdink> is that what it is
[14:35] <dr_willis> edbian,  go file a bug report on their site. :)
[14:35] <dinkdink> that explains a lot
[14:36] <dinkdink> gnash finally finished compiling yay
[14:36] <dinkdink> i want to ask about the minimal cd
[14:36] <dinkdink> has anyone actually installed here
[14:37] <sudokill> what ubuntu?
[14:37] <dr_willis> !minimal
[14:37] <dinkdink> well if i do it it's gonna be oneiric.. i'm on lucid
[14:38] <bazhang> dinkdink, yes, what's the question
[14:38] <sudokill> i was wondering about minimal
[14:38] <edbian> dr_willis: ha, Maybe I will...
[14:38] <sudokill> is it similar to arch?
[14:39] <Pici> sudokill: Its Ubuntu with nearly nothing installed.
[14:39] <dinkdink> i don't really have a question of specificity i just want to know in general how does it compare to ubuntu server because i need the optimum low resource install for ppc64.. just found out about lubuntu-desktop and  it runs faster than fluxbox on xorg
[14:39] <sudokill> yea, but is the installer similar to arch?
[14:39] <bazhang> sudokill, no idea
[14:39] <ThinkT510> sudokill: sort of, it gives you a core system which you can build up from (but arch is rolling-release)
[14:39] <sudokill> i know
[14:40] <ActionParsnip> dinkdink: then use lubuntu then, server has no X server so will be even faster
[14:40] <sudokill> ubuntu minimal sounds good
[14:40] <dinkdink> ActionParsnip: i am on lubntu now
[14:40] <ActionParsnip> dinkdink: its all I use :)
[14:40] <dinkdink> ActionParsnip: but if i were to minimal install rather than server install would that be worth it
[14:41] <penquite> Hi all
[14:41] <ActionParsnip> dinkdink: not really, if you want a server install server. If you want minimal, use minimal
[14:42] <dinkdink> arch is rolling-release, can you elaborate. i thought arch was another distro
[14:42] <sudokill> arch constantly updates
[14:42] <sudokill> like gentoo
[14:42] <sudokill> no new release every 6 months
[14:42] <Auriga> dinkdink, when you update Arch, that is the latest release.
[14:42] <sudokill> with arch the only command u need is pacman -Syyu
[14:42] <sudokill> thats it
[14:42] <bazhang> !ot
[14:43] <sudokill> jeez im only explaining
[14:43] <bazhang> its the wrong place sudokill
[14:43] <dinkdink> sounds good but i doubt it will run on my ppc64 architecture
[14:43] <nnull> rather trivial issue, full screen flash (eg: youtube) is very chuggy, any ideas on how i may resolve this?
[14:43] <edbian> dinkdink: gentoo would
[14:43] <sudokill> nnull, is it 32 bit flash on 64 bit?
[14:43] <edbian> but this is offtopic
[14:44] <Auriga> dinkdink, Try it & see.
[14:44] <penquite> Could someone help me out with a groups / permissions thing in Ubuntu server?
[14:44] <dinkdink> and chrooting and building my own system is beyond my capability at the moment
[14:44] <nnull> 32bit sudokill
[14:44] <nnull> on 32 bit
[14:44] <nnull> lol :)
[14:44] <sudokill> nnull, idk i heard 32 bit flash on 64 has some problems but i hear flash on linux isnt 100% great anyway
[14:44] <sudokill> nnull, try reinstalling flash
[14:44] <sudokill> it helped me once
[14:44] <dinkdink> i got a hold of gentoo minimal but non of the images would load
[14:45] <sudokill> dinkdink, pm me
[14:45] <Guest44668> I have a question, why don't I have drop-down menus in any of my application windows?  Is that a normal thing for the latest Ubuntu?
[14:45] <blady> HALO
[14:45] <edbian> Guest44668: Yes, they are at the top now (like a MAC)
[14:45] <blady> siema
[14:45] <bazhang> !pl | blady
[14:45] <Auriga> edbian, You mean Unity works like mac too....?
[14:45] <Auriga> Lol.
[14:45] <edbian> Auriga: Yeah sure, they're identical
[14:45] <Guest44668> I never had amac, and I can't find them at all.
[14:46] <edbian> Guest44668: Very top
[14:46] <blady> hello everybody
[14:46] <Auriga> edbian, Oh man, thanks, glad I didn't upgrade.
[14:46] <Guest44668> Is there a way to change it back?
[14:46] <edbian> Auriga: :)
[14:46] <Auriga> Guest44668, When you log in, look at the bottom.
[14:46] <bazhang> Guest44668, choose classic from the login window
[14:46] <edbian> Guest44668: Log out, click your name, change session to Ubuntu classic, log in
[14:46] <sudokill> Guest44668, i think classic mode
[14:46] <Auriga> Guest44668, There is a menu there.
[14:46] <Guest44668> Awesome, thanks!
[14:47] <Auriga> Is Unity going to be in the next LTS?
[14:49] <nnull> just fyi, answer to my own previous question = flash setting change 100k drive use to 10 meg, fixed full screen flash chugging
[14:49] <Kartagis> can I install ff3 and ff4 side by side?
[14:49] <edbian> Kartagis: THere is a way to do it, yes
[14:49] <Kartagis> edbian: google?
[14:50] <edbian> Kartagis: I can just tell you.  Do you have a firefox installed right now?
[14:50]  * edbian misses Goliath
[14:50] <Kartagis> edbian: yes
[14:50] <Kartagis> edbian: ff4
[14:50] <AdvoWork> anyone got any ideas why when ive made a new user, same groups/gid etc as another user, why one can login to the ftp but another cant?
[14:50] <edbian> Kartagis: You wanna add firefox 3 then.  Go to the website and download the version for linux.
[14:51] <Kartagis> edbian: and then?
[14:51] <edbian> Kartagis: I'm thinking.
[14:52] <edbian> Kartagis: I think the best way to do it is to download ff3 from the site, and make a special symlink for it in /usr/local/bin/
[14:52] <Kartagis> edbian: okay thanks
[14:53] <edbian> Kartagis: It is difficult to find a copy of ff3 on the site though :/
[14:54] <zerium1> having issue with video card in 11.04 not outputting highest resolution... been looking on the web but cant seem to find a solution
[14:56] <zerium1> it is only displaying 1280x800 on my dell d630c
[14:57] <zerium1> windows would output 1440 x 900
[14:59] <penquite> Would anyone be able to take a guess at why when I type members www-data, my username is in there, but when I type groups, the www-data group doesn't appear in the list?
[14:59] <MonkeyDust> guys, my wired eth0 connection won't connect anymore, don't know why -- it works correctly when i use a live cd -- hints & tips?
[14:59] <ActionParsnip> zerium1: which video chip?
[14:59] <zerium1> ActionParsnip: nvida quadro nvs 135m
[14:59] <nibbler_> MonkeyDust, does it show up properly in the network manager? can you nopaste /etc/network/interfaces ?
[15:00] <MonkeyDust> nibbler_: it says: not managed
[15:00] <nibbler_> MonkeyDust, that points to the 2nd part of my question/request ;-)
[15:00] <ActionParsnip> zerium1: you may need to run: sudo nvidia-xconfig    then manually edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf  to set the res
[15:01] <zerium1> ActionParsnip: ok
[15:01] <MonkeyDust> nibbler_: what's the paste url again?
[15:01] <nibbler_> !nopaste | MonkeyDust
[15:01] <nibbler_> !paste | MonkeyDust
[15:02] <zerium1> ActionParsnip: guessing i need ot edit the xorg.conf since my resolution isn't in the nvidia xserver settings
[15:02] <zerium1> ?
[15:02] <jebula> Could someone help me figure out how to reinstall alsamixer? For some reason it is saying that it isn't found. I have reinstalled alsa-utils etc.. with no luck.
[15:03] <gconf> hi..last time someone helped me to save all the deb packages in a folder.the folder was automatically created and was named as dpkg-repack.Does anyone know the command line to copy all the packages in a folder ?
[15:04] <zerium1> ActionParsnip: when i tried to run 'sudo nvida-xconfig' i got the following
[15:04] <nimrod10> jebula, try to purge alsa-utils and reinstall it
[15:04] <zerium1> data incomplete...
[15:04] <nimrod10> jebula, according to packages.ubuntu.com   alsa-utils contains  alsamixe
[15:04] <david____> dr_willis u still loged in Ubuntu?
[15:05] <jebula> nimrod10, yup
[15:05] <ActionParsnip> zerium1: you'll get a message, it's ok to ignore
[15:05] <zerium1> ActionParsnip: ok... looks like it populated it, is there a url to where i need to add my max resolution?
[15:05] <zerium1> url to instructions...
[15:05] <david____> ok anyway try Unity on KDE then l8r i come ask u what u think about it :)
[15:06] <ActionParsnip> zerium1: run:  gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf     then read the file, its obvious :)
[15:06] <david____> lol kind look nice
[15:07] <MonkeyDust> nibbler_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/629829/
[15:07] <lsolesen> is it possible to have the shutdown signal point to e.g. mythshutdown instead of what it is doing by default?
[15:08] <MonkeyDust> nibbler_: correction: http://paste.ubuntu.com/629833/
[15:09] <iridium> hey guys, anybody pci-e cards have/can use system memory like agp's memory aperture size?
[15:09] <iridium> *knows
[15:09] <adoet_t> wht
[15:09] <zerium1> ActionParsnip: i didnt see a resolution section
[15:09] <wols_> of course they do. but how is this ubuntu related iridium?
[15:10] <iridium> it is... since Hardware channel got invite only
[15:10] <nibbler_> MonkeyDust, well, it says it uses DHCP which is almost as good as network manager (or even better, depending on the case) - but comment out line #7 and retry? (might require restart of network manager, window system... so maybe just reboot)
[15:10] <iridium> thank you wols_
[15:10] <wols_> iridium: no it's not. just register with nickserv and you can go in. even then, it's still not ubuntu related
[15:10] <klevison> sometimes my ubuntu crashes and logtou it self, what could cause it? where can I see a log to know waht can cause this?
[15:11] <jkbrntot> klevison: you can look at error logs on System ->administration -> Log file viewer
[15:12] <adoet_t> which ubuntu version?
[15:12] <Fudge> how can i remove a package thats marked iU
[15:12] <Fudge> somethign is conflicting with it
[15:12] <jkbrntot> * dpending on version yes :|
[15:12] <jebula> Still no luck with alsa. I get no sound and it doesn't load any snd modules
[15:13] <klevison> jkbrntot, I'm at gnome 3
[15:13] <jkbrntot> klevison: ah...  no idea then :P
[15:13] <w00> hi
[15:14] <Stockholm_Angel> how do i flip the page in the office programme on ubuntu11.04 so its landscape not portrate
[15:14] <nerdy_kid> hi, I encrypted a 5.7GB tar file and got a 3.9GB pgp file...is it supposed to be that small?
[15:14] <Fudge> dpkg -r package:arch
[15:14] <klevison> adoet_t,  natty
[15:14] <w00> I have in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20auto-upgrades set: APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "1"; but i would like to know how can i check that it updated the package list?
[15:14] <ActionParsnip> zerium1: ok then run:  gksudo nvidia-settings      and set the resolution to something, click 'save to x config file'
[15:15] <klevison> sometimes my ubuntu natty crashes and logtou it self, what could cause it? where can I see a log to know waht can cause this?
[15:15] <klevison> ops
[15:15] <ActionParsnip> zerium1: you can then change the numbers of the res you set to the one you desire
[15:15] <klevison> this is my problem https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/778490?comments=all
[15:15] <zerium1> ActionParsnip: thanks
[15:15] <Roasted> Will Ubuntu's startup disk creator also work for making a live USB drive of Fedora 15?
[15:15] <jebula> Is anyone able to help me out with some alsa problems?
[15:15] <jkbrntot> klevison: you can still try running Log file viewer, though it has been known to crash on gnome 3
[15:15] <ikonia> Roasted: the supported distros are in the drop down list, the non-supported ones can be pushed, but obviously, not supported
[15:15] <Roasted> ikonia, appreciate it. thanks.
[15:16] <Roasted> ikonia, wait are you talking about unetbootin?
[15:16] <Roasted> ikonia, what you explain with a drop down list sounds like unetbootin. I was referring to Ubuntu's "Startup Disk Creator"
[15:17] <ikonia> Roasted: ahhh, my apologies, in that case, no I don't believe it will work, but I'm not %100 certain
[15:17] <gamer1990> I can't install gnome-icon-themes-extra, I get only this message: http://pastebin.com/722jDVD6
[15:18] <zerium1> ActionParsnip: wasn't there but i looked up how to set it... do i need to reboot for the changes to take effect?
[15:18] <suigeneris> hi
[15:18] <Roasted> ikonia, all right. I'm trying to get my non-CD drive laptop to boot F15, but unetbootin seems to fail when I make a flash drive. Other users in the Fedora chat confirmed unetbootin's issues with it, so I was trying to find alternatives, such as DD (also failed) and ubuntu's startup disk gizmo.
[15:18] <ikonia> gamer1990: broken package
[15:18] <ikonia> Roasted: I think your onto a dead one with the startup disk creator tool
[15:18] <suigeneris> is it a bug that I can't type in mount point field when installing natty?
[15:18] <gamer1990> the package is broken since last year
[15:18] <Roasted> ikonia, it won't work it seems. It won't even allow me to select Fedora, yet Gparted, lubuntu, ubuntu, edubuntu, and my other ISOs are fine to select. sigh...
[15:19] <adoet_t> can gnome 3 installed on ubuntu lucid?
[15:19] <ikonia> adoet_t: gnome 3 is not a supported/stable package in ubuntu
[15:19] <ikonia> (well the gnome-shell gnome3 enivornment)
[15:20] <ActionParsnip> adoet_t: with a ppa, yes
[15:20] <jkbrntot> jebula: what version ubuntu are you on?
[15:20] <jebula> jkbrntot, 11.04
[15:20] <w00> I have in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20auto-upgrades set: APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "1"; but i would like to know how can i check that it *really* updated the package list?
[15:20] <Roasted> ikonia, 11.10 ships with Gnome 3 though, right?
[15:21] <ikonia> Roasted: no, not properly, it's still the unity/gnome environment
[15:21] <jkbrntot> jebula: no sound at all? have you tried changing settings on the panel's sound preferences? (e.g. unmuting?)
[15:21] <jebula> jkbrntot, no sound card is being displayed just the pulseaudio dummy card.
[15:21] <v_y> will ubuntu11 live installed on a usb stick have a persistent fs?
[15:22] <Roasted> ikonia, well I know Unity comes by default, but Unity (starting with 11.10) will be Gnome 3 based, so Gnome Shell, I would think, would work as good as any other distro once you install Gnome Shell. Eh??
[15:22] <ikonia> Roasted: 11.04 is gnome 3 based
[15:22] <Roasted> ikonia, I'm almost certain that isn't true...
[15:22] <ActionParsnip> ikonia: you sure ;)
[15:22] <Roasted> ikonia, in fact I'm positive Unity is based on 2.X
[15:22] <ikonia> parts of it certainly is
[15:22] <Pici> ikonia, Roasted: gnome3? do you mean gtk3?
[15:22] <BlouBlou> ikonia: it's gnome2 with parts of gtk3
[15:22] <Roasted> Pici, I suppose. I just know it as Gnome 2.X or Gnome 3.0, etc.
[15:22] <jkbrntot> jebula: ah no sound card detected at all, has it ever worked in the past? what environment?
[15:23] <krux> http://developer.gnome.org/jhbuild/stable/ you try jhbuild ?.. to get gnome3
[15:23] <Pici> Roasted: They're not the same thing.
[15:23] <ikonia> BlouBlou: thank you, that's a better description
[15:23] <ikonia> Roasted: BlouBlou's got it better
[15:23] <jebula> jkbrntot, yes it worked OK on here up until some updates were ran. I tried to revert back without any luck.
[15:23] <Roasted> ikonia, gotcha.
[15:23] <ActionParsnip> ikonia: ahhh that explains a lot
[15:24] <Roasted> I certainly hope 11.10's Gnome Shell support is solid. It was just added to 11.10's official repos, so that says something
[15:24] <Roasted> I think I'll venture over to the +1 room though
[15:24] <remi_h05> bonjour
[15:25] <ActionParsnip> I've 11.10 on ,y laptop, runs well, just like every other release I've thown at it

[15:25] <jebula> jkbrntot, several times.
[15:26] <sveinse> Hi. My natty (in ubuntu classic) has started to behave very strange. When I log in I get 40 windows with "Starting file manager" and the file manager wont work any more. Any ideas how to approach this problem?
[15:26] <jkbrntot> jebula: reboot after installing?  :) sorry just had to ask
[15:26] <sveinse> I haven't done anything particular except the usual apt update
[15:26] <jebula> jkbrntot, yup
[15:27] <sveinse> Likewise meld complains about missing pygtk, even though it's installed
[15:27] <ActionParsnip> sveinse: reinstall nautilus, see if it helps
[15:28] <jkbrntot> jebula: also purged and reinstalled pulseaudio?
[15:28] <jebula> jkbrntot, yes
[15:28] <jkbrntot> jebula: what's your soundcard
[15:28] <dr_willis> sveinse,  coould be a messed up saved 'session' also. does the issue affect other users on the system?
[15:28] <sveinse> ActionParsnip: Do you know if nautilus has py bindings in any way? Perhaps the meld and nautilus issue are related

[15:31] <jkbrntot> jebula: that's displayed when you click on sound icon?

[15:33] <usr13> CppIsWeird: In the file manager, hit Ctrl-h  and then right click and delete .gnom2
[15:34] <usr13> *.gnome2

[15:34] <rudra> could not update ICEauthority file /var/lib/gdm.ICEauthority  ---what does this mean can somebody help?
[15:34] <ikonia> Goliath: don't use gnome network manager, or tools of that nature
[15:35] <ActionParsnip> Goliath: add the DNS server in network manager
[15:35] <ikonia> Goliath: also dhcp could be doing it
[15:35] <ActionParsnip> Goliath: set the interface to DHCP address only, then set <IP_ADDRESS>, <IP_ADDRESS>   as your DNS
[15:35] <altsupwin> helow

 no it is hiving me a error msg before start up and i'm unable to see the login page --- could not update ICEauthority file /var/lib/gdm.ICEauthority
[15:39] <zerium1> for some reason when i edit xorg.conf the settings aren't showing up in nvidia settings manager
[15:39] <Goliath> usr13: i read that i could edit dhclient.conf and use supersede domain-name-servers <IP_ADDRESS>; but it didnt work
[15:39] <usr13> Goliath: Sounds like the router is sending out wrong IP info.  You need to re-configure the router with proper nameserver IPs
[15:40] <viruxINf3ct3d> was trying to configure my internet usb to work with a direction
[15:40] <usr13> Goliath: Yea you can edit the config file and tell it not to request nameserver
[15:40] <smftre> where's the apache2 error log on ubuntu?
[15:40] <viruxINf3ct3d> but the gnome ppp is not showing up
[15:40] <dr_willis> zerium1,  you are restarting the X server after editing the xorg.conf >
[15:40] <viruxINf3ct3d> heellllooo
[15:40] <zerium1> dr_willis: yeah i enabled ctrl-alt-backspace
[15:41] <zerium1> and restart it...
[15:41] <dr_willis> theres a gnome gui tool to enable that.. - just a few ckicks and its done.
[15:41] <asab_> how can I resize my ubuntu ext4 partition? (was created in a 2TB hard disk, 500gbs for ubuntu)
[15:41] <dr_willis> !dontzap
[15:41] <penquite> @muay-guy, Have you just tried getting someone to browse to you via your IP address?
[15:41] <asab_> I want to keep my original data (about 30gbs) and divide the partition into 2 250gbs paritions.
[15:41] <dr_willis> asab_,  live cd with gparted - is proberly the easiest way
[15:41] <nerdy_kid> asab_, boot from a liveCD and run gparted
[15:41] <usr13> Goliath: Actually what you would do is add line:  prepend domain-name-servers <IP_ADDRESS>
[15:42] <asab_> what actually is a liveCD?
[15:42] <usr13> Goliath: Add the line to /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf
[15:42] <muay-guy> penquite: I haven't but I'll do it right now
[15:42] <nerdy_kid> asab_, if you stick the cd that you installed Ubuntu from into your computer drive and reboot it should run off of the CD
[15:42] <zerium1> dr_willis: issue is my max resolution isn't right...
[15:42] <jebula> jkbrntot, how could i reinstall it properly?
[15:42] <usr13> Goliath:  prepend domain-name-servers <IP_ADDRESS>;  #Dont' forget the ; at end of line.
[15:43] <usr13> Goliath: You can substitute <IP_ADDRESS> with nameserver IP of your choice
[15:44] <viruxINf3ct3d> i thought one could get help here?
[15:44] <ActionParsnip> viruxINf3ct3d: you can

[15:46] <MoonTiger> thnx :)
[15:46] <MoonTiger> viruxINf3ct3d, what does dmesg say?
[15:47] <REK_007> Am facing this problem while mounting a drive :http://pastebin.com/R7KrN3vt
[15:47] <REK_007> and its no mounting at start up even as it used to
[15:47] <MoonTiger> viruxINf3ct3d, unplug it ... plug it in ... wait 3 seconds and type "dmesg"
[15:47] <Taev> Not exactly an ubuntu question and Im sorry for asking it but Im desperate, anyone here live in Chicago or has flown through there? Im trying to find out which airport is bigger i.e. longer runways in Chicago either Midway or O'Hare
[15:47] <viruxINf3ct3d> jst didnt work
[15:47] <MoonTiger> ohare
[15:47] <Taev> Thanks
[15:47] <jebula> jkbrntot, how could i reinstall alsa properly?
[15:47] <Taev> I shall never ask off topic questions again, thank you so much for your assistance
[15:48] <usr13> viruxINf3ct3d: Try what MoonTiger said.  He will help you.
[15:48] <MoonTiger> viruxINf3ct3d, dmesg didnt work?
[15:48] <Goliath> usr13: what does prepend do?
[15:48] <jkbrntot> jebula: wait try this first in terminal, it's supposed to display your sound card if it's detected properly by the system
[15:48] <viruxINf3ct3d> MoonTiger, now am using windows, i'd have to switch to ubuntu to try it again
[15:48] <jkbrntot> $ sudo aplay -l
[15:48] <usr13> Goliath: It will place nameserver IP(s) at top of list in your /etc/resolv.conf file.
[15:49] <jebula> jkbrntot: cat /proc/asound/devices?
[15:49] <ActionParsnip> viruxINf3ct3d: if you run:  lsusb   there will be an 8 character hex ID you can use to find guides
[15:49] <usr13> Goliath: (Your system will use the one at the top of the list first.)
[15:49] <td123> is unity based on gtk2 and gnome3 based on gtk3?
[15:49] <jkbrntot> jebula: sudo aplay -l
[15:49] <Goliath> usr13: so only the one on top is used?
[15:49] <ActionParsnip> td123: yes
[15:49] <usr13> Goliath: ... so make sure the one at the top of the list is a valid nameserver.
[15:49] <jebula> jkbrntot, none found
[15:49] <viruxINf3ct3d> <ActionParsnip, have done that
[15:49] <usr13> Goliath: Yes
[15:49] <ActionParsnip> viruxINf3ct3d: what is the ID?
[15:50] <td123> does ubuntu plan on developing unity or support a gnome3 version of ubuntu?
[15:50] <REK_007> Can anyone help ?
[15:50] <MoonTiger> viruxINf3ct3d, cant help you if ur not running ubuntu rightnow ;)
[15:50] <usr13> Goliath: Only the one at the top of the list is used, UNLESS, dhclient times out waiting for response.  In which case it will try the next one.  etc.
[15:51] <mnaines> Does Ubuntu support Radeon HD video cards?
[15:51] <MoonTiger> mnaines, mine does
[15:51] <Goliath> usr13: i did supersede domain-name-servers <IP_ADDRESS>; instead
[15:51] <Goliath> of prepend
[15:51] <dr_willis> td123,  i think the plan is on focusing on Unity
[15:51] <Goliath> usr13: i have read it in a guide
[15:51] <ActionParsnip> REK_007: how are you trying to mount the partition (you can't mount drives)
[15:51] <usr13> Goliath: Ok, well, try it and see.
[15:51] <viruxINf3ct3d> theres tut am following, it ask to install gnome-ppp, after i did and follow the instruction but the terminal jst did not show up
[15:51] <mnaines> MoonTiger, I keep hearing that the graphics become slow and laggy with ATi...At least that's what the reviews said for the drivers on Ubuntu 11.04
[15:52] <MoonTiger> mnaines, what card do you have?
[15:52] <IPNixon> how do i disable the screen blanking in server 9.10?
[15:52] <REK_007> ActionParsnip: I used storage device manager to automount the partition but suddenly from yesterday it doesnt load on start up
[15:52] <mnaines> I currently have the GeForce 210 but I want to upgrade to a Radeon HD 5670
[15:52] <usr13> Goliath: but if you are using <IP_ADDRESS>, you will find that it is already there.
[15:52] <ActionParsnip> IPNixon: karmic support is dead
[15:52] <usr13> Goliath: Or it should be.
[15:52] <MoonTiger> mnaines, i have the hd3650 or something (thinkpad t500) and no lag
[15:53] <inashdeen> hi, anyone know how to get the effect library on pitivi working on ubuntu?
[15:53] <dr_willis> IPNixon,  theres a stty command/setting i recall to disable bpanking on the console.
[15:53] <REK_007> ActionParsnip: And now it doesn't allow to mount the drive without root privileges
[15:53] <Goliath> usr13: shouldnt i change also dhcp/dhclient.conf?
[15:53] <Goliath> or only dhcp3
[15:53] <ActionParsnip> REK_007: what groups are you in?
[15:53] <mnaines> By the way, MoonTiger, is the 512MB version of the Radeon HD 5670 overkill for games like IMVU, WoW, or Urban Terror when played on Ubuntu?
[15:53] <MoonTiger> mnaines, why not try it with a live boot?
[15:53] <usr13> Goliath: I think you can also take out "domain-name-servers" from the request line, and just put what you want in /etc/resolv.conf and be done with it.
[15:53] <REK_007> ActionParsnip: How to check that ?
[15:53] <ActionParsnip> REK_007: run:   groups
[15:53] <MoonTiger> mnaines, you can never have too much vram ;)
[15:54] <wonka_> redhat is dead?
[15:54] <zerium1> can you scale down the size of the icons in 11.04 on the left bar?
[15:54] <ActionParsnip> wonka_: not at all
[15:54] <jkbrntot> jebula: what happens if you type "amixer" in the terminal
[15:54] <mnaines> MoonTiger, which matters more for OpenGL and Ubuntu, video memory amount or clock speeds?
[15:54] <wonka_> I happy to hear it
[15:54] <usr13> Goliath:  The file /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf file is what we were talking about.  Right?
[15:54] <Goliath> usr13: yes but resolv/conf gets overwritten
[15:54] <Goliath> usr13: yes
[15:54] <REK_007> ActionParsnip: rohan adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin admin sambashare
[15:54] <dr_willis> zerium1,  yes. vya the unity plugin in the CCSM tool
[15:54] <dr_willis> !ccsm | zerium1
[15:54] <jebula> jkbrntot: amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such file or directory
[15:54] <Goliath> usr13: also exist one colled /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf which is similar
[15:54] <Goliath> to what you said
[15:55] <Goliath> called
[15:55] <MoonTiger> mnaines, i would say vram ... if the caches have to be flushed to fit big texture maps performance will die
[15:55] <mnaines> Thanks, MoonTiger
[15:55] <ActionParsnip> REK_007: looks like mine, should be ok
[15:55] <usr13> Goliath: You are correct.  /etc/resolv.conf gets nameserver IP(s) from your router during DHCP request.
[15:55] <fiaxh> moin
[15:55] <ActionParsnip> REK_007: it it on a USB storage?
[15:55] <jkbrntot> jebula: try sudo apt-get install alsa-utils
[15:55] <REK_007> ActionParsnip: I have 2 partitions on 2 different Hard drives with the same mount point  :/
[15:55] <Goliath> usr13: so which of the 2 should i modify?
[15:55] <mosmo> Hello! How can I disable the automatic startup of the GUI with Ubuntu?
[15:55] <jebula> jkbrntot, i have done that several times as well
[15:56] <ActionParsnip> REK_007: are you using RAID?
[15:56] <jkbrntot> alsa-utils is installed already?
[15:56] <jkbrntot> jebula
[15:56] <jebula> jkbrntot yup
[15:56] <REK_007> ActionParsnip: sda1 and sdb5 have the same name and mount point but in reality sda1 is windows drive and sdb5 is the dump drive
[15:56] <usr13> Goliath: And as I have already said, the best thing to do is go into the router's config and insert valid nameserver IP(s) so that it no longer gives out bogus IP info.
[15:56] <REK_007> ActionParsnip: no man normal setup
[15:56] <ActionParsnip> REK_007: 2 partitions on one mount point doesn't sound good
[15:56] <jkbrntot> jebula: what about alsa-base?
[15:57] <jebula> jkbrntot, already installed
[15:57] <jebula> also purged and reinstaleld it
[15:57] <MoonTiger> mosmo, on a desktop?
[15:57] <dr_willis> !text
[15:57] <MoonTiger> or that
[15:57] <MoonTiger> :)
[15:57] <REK_007> ActionParsnip: I dont it how it got configured but I can use the partitions separately . And both are shown with different names on the file browser .
[15:57] <rubenjr> for some reason my laptop wont let me install ubuntu or any other distro. but to make sure i put in a windows xp cd in it and it worked fine. when i put any linux distro it brings me to a login screen and doesnt let me install
[15:57] <jkbrntot> jebula, what is displayed if you type apt-get install alsa-utils now?
[15:57] <mosmo> [16:57] <MoonTiger> mosmo, on a desktop?
[15:57] <mosmo> Yes
[15:58] <MoonTiger> rubenjr, is it a company laptop?
[15:58] <dr_willis> rubenjr,  sounds like bad cd burns, or bad isos - you could verfy theiso and put it on a usb.
[15:58] <REK_007> ActionParsnip: but on the storage device manager i see that peculiar thing about them sharing same name and mount point
[15:58] <jebula> jkbrntot, already installed
[15:58] <rubenjr> MoonTiger: yes a dell
[15:58] <rubenjr> dr_willis: i tried a usb also same thing
[15:58] <MoonTiger> rubenjr, u sure they havent locked it down?
[15:59] <dr_willis> rubenjr,  whats the prompt exactly?  does the live-usb even boot?
[15:59] <rubenjr> MoonTiger:  well i mean if they did is there anything i could about it? maybe flash the bios with a different one?
[15:59] <MoonTiger> rubenjr, very risky
[15:59] <dr_willis> rubenjr,  this is a laptop you bought FROM dell? or what exactly?
[15:59] <rubenjr> dr_willis: it goes like as if its about tot ake me to the livecd but then asks me to login
[16:00] <MoonTiger> rubenjr, if they have locked it down u prolly cant flash a new bios ... even if you could they would know and u prolly couldnt access the company network
[16:00] <rubenjr> dr_willis:  its a dell but i got it for free
[16:00] <MoonTiger> rubenjr, i would make a live usb boot and work with that
[16:00] <MoonTiger> rubenjr, ahhhhhh its ur now?
[16:00] <rubenjr> MoonTiger: it wont let me get that far
[16:00] <dr_willis> rubenjr,  could be a video card issue. You could try the 'nomodeset' option, or try the alt-installer cd.
[16:00] <jkbrntot> jebula: see if you have the following apt installed: libao-common, libmikmod2, libao4, linux-sound-base, libsox-fmt-alsa, libasound2-plugins, libsox1b
[16:00] <sveinse> dr_willis: It was not related to saved session, as it happens on a newly created user as well. Nor did reinstall of every package *nautilus* package help
[16:00] <MoonTiger> rubenjr, what exact model is it?
[16:01] <rubenjr> MoonTiger: dell inspiron 1100
[16:01] <dr_willis> sveinse,  bummer...
[16:01] <rubenjr> MoonTiger: yes its mine
[16:01] <rubenjr> dr_willis:  i will try that
[16:01] <mosmo> @dr_willis: I can't seem to enter the GRUB settings on boot, neither with pressing shift nor ESC
[16:01] <mosmo> Is there another way?
[16:01] <sveinse> Does meld work on your machines?
[16:01] <MoonTiger> rubenjr, thats an old assed laptop no?
[16:01] <jebula> jkbrntot, ok?
[16:02] <rubenjr> MoonTiger:  yes haha
[16:02] <MoonTiger> mosmo, maybe boot into it and set the manual log on  ... then reboot and change the default session to console ... then reboot
[16:02] <rubenjr> MoonTiger: but as far as i know ubuntu works great with older models
[16:02] <jkbrntot> jebula it's all installed?
[16:02] <jebula> jkbrntot, yes
[16:02] <marekdef> hi guys, If I have 2 activities 1 is using service and is starting other activity
[16:03] <MoonTiger> rubenjr, i would think the usb ports are 1.1 and the cd drive prolly cannot read the discs you are using
[16:03] <marekdef> shall I close the connection to the service before I launch new one ?
[16:03] <MoonTiger> the xp disk will work as its a prpoerly copied mass produced disk
[16:03] <rubenjr> MoonTiger: the cd drive is a dvd rom
[16:03] <jkbrntot> jebula: did you just install some right now, or they were already existing on your system?
[16:03] <MoonTiger> so... burn a new disk and burn it at 1 or 2 times speed
[16:03] <jebula> jkbrntot, some were installed after running apt-get
[16:04] <rubenjr> dr_willis:  what do u mean the alt installer?
[16:04] <dr_willis> mosmo,  ive had quirky desktop systems taht grub would not properly work with a USB keyboard. but would with a PS2 keyvoard..  there  a legacy-usb setting the bios that might fix that.
[16:04] <MoonTiger> rubenjr, it *is* set to boot from dvd yes?
[16:04] <dr_willis> !alternative
[16:04] <rubenjr> MoonTiger: yes i direct it through the boot menu
[16:04] <MoonTiger> rubenjr, ok just checkin
[16:04] <mosmo> dr_willis, I'm trying to manually edit the grub.cfg with nano now
[16:04] <mosmo> Is this a bad idea?
[16:04] <MoonTiger> doesnt ubuntu use grub2?
[16:04] <rubenjr> MoonTiger: it takes a longtime to read and then takes me to a login screen
[16:05] <dr_willis> mosmo,  thats one way.. not a great way.. but a way
[16:05] <dr_willis> MoonTiger,  latest releases default to grub2 yes
[16:05] <MoonTiger> so manually editing the grub.cfg isnt smart as it will get overwritten next time something updates it
[16:05] <sveinse> Can anyone with an updated natty system test if meld is working, please?
[16:05] <mosmo> [17:05] <dr_willis> mosmo,  thats one way.. not a great way.. but a way
[16:06] <mosmo> Okay
[16:06] <mosmo> Do I need to append the "text" after the line beginning with "initrd"?
[16:06] <mosmo> Or the one with "linux"
[16:06] <MoonTiger> mosmo .... you will have to edit one of the /etc/grub.d/files
[16:06] <MoonTiger> i think it's 10 or 20
[16:06] <mosmo> MoonTiget, already in the file
[16:06] <MoonTiger> that will contain the lines you need to edit
[16:06] <zerium1> anyone know which option in compiz it is to scale the left side launcher bar thing?
[16:06] <MoonTiger> then do grub-mkconfig
[16:07] <MoonTiger> and it will check the file
[16:07] <mosmo> Okay, thanks
[16:07] <rubenjr> any recommendations on the install?
[16:07] <MoonTiger> then you can do "grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg"
[16:07] <dr_willis> mosmo,  replace 'quiet splash' with 'text'
[16:07] <MoonTiger> rubenjr, very odd .... so no usb boot works (too old) and cant boot from dvd ... is it external dvd?
[16:08] <mosmo> [17:07] <dr_willis> mosmo,  replace 'quiet splash' with 'text'
[16:08] <dr_willis> mosmo,  the proper way is edit the /etc/default/grub then rerun update-grub
[16:08] <mosmo> Okay, thanks
[16:08] <rubenjr> MoonTiger:  no internal
[16:08] <jkbrntot> jebula: try rebooting now (to be sure) and see if your sound card is detected...
[16:08] <rubenjr> MoonTiger: but it is a dvd rom
[16:08] <rubenjr> MoonTiger:  booting off the usb works the same as the cd
[16:08] <MoonTiger> rubenjr, can it read the ubuntu dvd from windows?
[16:08] <rubenjr> MoonTiger: yes it detects it
[16:08] <mosmo> dr_willis, I see, thanks - I'm trying if it works and then I'll do it the proper way
[16:08] <MoonTiger> and sees the files?
[16:08] <rubenjr> MoonTiger: lets me go in and view all the files on the dvd
[16:09] <MoonTiger> ok
[16:09] <rubenjr> wierd
[16:09] <Kravilanth> @rubenjr I had issues booting from a DVD-ROM on a dell laptop as well. I ended up using a different DVD-ROM and my problem was resolved.
[16:09] <MoonTiger> rubenjr, hmmmmmm i wonder if they have flashed a custom bios .... can u update the bios from windows?
[16:09] <zerium1> is there a way to put a python script in the unity launch bar?
[16:09] <rubenjr> Kravilanth: what happens if this is the only dvd rom i have
[16:09] <rubenjr> MoonTiger:  i will try that
[16:10] <rubenjr> MoonTiger:  wait i forgot i fomated the hard drive already
[16:10] <rubenjr> MoonTiger:  should i put xp and try to flash the bios?
[16:10] <MoonTiger> rubenjr, i have never heard of companies doing custom bios builds but im riunning out of ideas why you have this problem
[16:10] <MoonTiger> rubenjr, so blank hdd and no OS right?
[16:10] <rubenjr> MoonTiger:  im not sure either cause i mean like i can try the usb but it does the same thing.
[16:11] <rubenjr> MoonTiger:  i had xp on it 20 monites ago but i formatted it and even with xp on it it did the same thing
[16:11] <MoonTiger> rubenjr, exactly what happens when it boots from usb / dvd?
[16:11] <rubenjr> MoonTiger: exactly the same thing
[16:11] <MoonTiger> what login does it take you to?
[16:11] <rubenjr> MoonTiger: takes just as long and brings me to the same login screen
[16:11] <rubenjr> MoonTiger: and i know its not the cd cause i tried it on my sisters computer ad it worked fine
[16:11] <dr_willis> this is the BASH Login screen?
[16:12] <MoonTiger> rubenjr, it isnt set to boot from the network is it?
[16:12] <dr_willis> take hd out. put in usb enclosuer, install to it from a differnt pc. replace it in problem pc. :)  as a work around
[16:12] <MoonTiger> dr_willis, good call
[16:12] <mosmo> dr_willis, Stuff went wrong apparently
[16:12] <rubenjr> wait what
[16:12] <mosmo> After booting and entering GRUB, the screen remains black
[16:13] <mosmo> This isn't a huge problem it's a fresh install anyways
[16:13] <mosmo> Do you know any way out maybe?
[16:13] <rubenjr> dr_willis:  how do i install it form another pc?
[16:13] <sveinse> meld fails because "import gtk" fails. py complains about "_gtk" missing from /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py. But I cannot find that this file belongs to any package! (I'm hoping I'm wrong)
[16:13] <MoonTiger> mosmo, sounds like a problem to me :)
[16:13] <dr_willis> rubenjr,  plug hd into other pc.. boot cd/whatever
[16:13] <mosmo> The monitor means: ANALOG OUT OF RANGE 92 khz / 58 hz
[16:13] <zerium1> can i change the archive manager to automatically extract an archive instead of opening?
[16:13] <MoonTiger> rubenjr, what login screen do you get to after boot? im curious
[16:13] <rubenjr> dr_willis: its a laptop though
[16:13] <dr_willis> mosmo,  that means grub is sending info that the monitor cant handle.
[16:13] <dr_willis> rubenjr,  thats why i mentiooned a usb enclosuer...
[16:14] <karlshea> any ideas on why the exit status of mountpoint would be wrong?
[16:14] <mosmo> I'll boot it up with the live USB and fix the GRUB file
[16:14] <dr_willis> mosmo,  i have to tell grub to use a 640x480 res screen here for this monitor.. heres my grub.cfg
[16:14] <rubenjr> MoonTiger: the normal login screen except the name is ubuntu and i tried t login as ubuntu and enter as password it brings me to the same login screen again
[16:14] <dr_willis> mosmo,  http://paste.ubuntu.com/629869/
[16:14] <rubenjr> dr_willis:  what do u mean by a usb enclosure?
[16:15] <dr_willis> rubenjr,  a box you put a hard drive in, that ciovnerts it into a USB hard drive
[16:15] <mosmo> Thank you
[16:15] <MoonTiger> rubenjr, wait what? i thought you said u cant install anything?
[16:15] <rubenjr> MoonTiger: i cant it doesnt even let me boot up to the live cd. but it lets me install windows xp
[16:15] <dr_willis> rubenjr,  so it IS biooting the ubuntu cd.. and going to the bash prompt. which leads us to either a weird video card, or optical drive issue with reading the cd.
[16:15] <LemonyZ> Evening
[16:15] <dr_willis> rubenjr,  the alternative cd - might work.
[16:15] <rubenjr> dr_willis:  ahh okay and where do i get one of those?
[16:16] <MoonTiger> rubenjr, so you mean the xp login screen?
[16:16] <dr_willis> rubenjr,  the store.  or the internetz
[16:16] <mosmo> Oh look @ dr_willis
[16:16] <rubenjr> MoonTiger:  no xp works fine it brings me to the ubuntu login screen right before the live cd
[16:16] <mosmo> I can still access the PC via SSH
[16:16] <dr_willis> mosmo,  that makes it even easier....
[16:16] <MoonTiger> rubenjr, i thought you said u wiped the hdd?
[16:16] <rubenjr> MoonTiger:  it is
[16:16] <mosmo> Yes
[16:17] <rudraram> could not update iceauthority/var/lib/gdm/.iceauthority ---- this is killing me :(
[16:17] <MoonTiger> rubenjr, so wtf login screen are you talking about?
[16:17] <jordotech> whats up!  I just used Cntr+z to put a process in the background but its stopped.... how can i view all the stopped processes running?
[16:17] <dr_willis> mosmo,  edit /etc/default/grub and uncomment the 640x480 line, uncomment the 'make a sound beep' line also so you can hear it beep so you know it booted if it dosent work. :) and run update-grub
[16:17] <rubenjr> dr_willis: is there a way to install it with means of no graphics?
[16:17] <MoonTiger> rubenjr, the server edition maybe?
[16:17] <dr_willis> rubenjr,  the alt-cd is a text based installer.. it dosent need a fancy gfx card.
[16:17] <MoonTiger> ahhhhhh or that
[16:18] <rubenjr> dr_willis:  do u know where i can download the alt cd?
[16:18] <sveinse> Anyone here with knowledge to the python modules in natty?
[16:18] <mosmo> Interesting, highly interesting @ dr_willis
[16:18] <dr_willis> !download
[16:18] <mosmo> I had to start XFCE4 over SSH
[16:18] <mosmo> And now the monitor displays again
[16:18] <mosmo> Apparently my monitor doesn't accept text mode
[16:18] <MoonTiger> ok gotta go ... good luck rubenjr :)
[16:18] <mosmo> Do you have an idea why?
[16:18] <rubenjr> MoonTiger:  thanks =]
[16:18] <smftre> when installing postfix, what happens if your hostname -f is set to something that will only be transferred later on? will nothing work?
[16:18] <penquite> Hi all, I am trying to set permissions on my web server and having a few issues. If I type groups to see my group membership I do not see the www-data group which owns my www directory, but if I type members www-data, my username shows in the group. Any suggestions?
[16:19] <dr_willis> mosmo,  sounds like   the framebuffer/plymouth stuff is causing problems  once again.
[16:19] <rudraram> please help me
[16:19] <mosmo> I see, that doesn't tell me much though, not an expert xD
[16:19] <dr_willis> mosmo,  enable the text menu for grub. and  remove the 'quiet splash'  words in the /etc/default/grub
[16:19] <mosmo> I'm using Xubuntu, just by the way
[16:19] <sveinse> meld is trying to import gtk, and it tries /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/cairo/__init__.py, while the python-gtk2 package locates the file at /usr/share/pyshared/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py . I'm confused why it behaves this way. Remnants of maverick perhaps?
[16:19] <mosmo> Do I enable the text menu just by removing quiet splash?
[16:19] <dr_willis> plymouth causes more problems then its worth
[16:20] <mosmo> And what exactly is plymouth
[16:20] <dr_willis> theres a line in the /etc/default/grub that enables  the text grub menu.. check the file
[16:20] <dr_willis> !plymouth
[16:20] <mosmo> I see, okay
[16:20] <rudraram> could not update iceauthority/var/something/.iceauthority ---help
[16:20] <dr_willis> Plymouth = eyecandy added in to make it look more professional...
[16:20] <dr_willis> rudraram,  try moveing/renameing/deleteing that file?

[16:23] <jtreminio> hello all. My window titlebars have disappeared ... so, how do I restart metacity?
[16:23] <lolzer> im not able to play vedios cause adobe wont install
[16:23] <jtreminio> simply typing "metacity &" does not bring the titlebars back, so I assume I have to stop and the restart it.
[16:23] <lolzer> im using 11.04

[16:29] <dr_willis> mosmo,  dont forget to run update-grub after editing..
[16:29] <shed> ubottu	, am using a usb 3g broadband
[16:30] <dr_willis> mosmo,  in /etc/default/grub --->    GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480   and   GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="text" is about as low-tech/should alwasy work.. as you can get...
[16:31] <dr_willis> lolzer,  you do realize that gnash is welll.. just not that great. :)
[16:31] <sveinse> Python anyone? My system (natty am,d64) has a populated /usr/lib/pymodules/ dir while it seems no package has any files there, yet my python seems to prefer importing from this directory. Instead these pacakges install under /usr/lib/pyshared. I'm really confused, as it worked yesterday
[16:33] <lolzer> dr_willis, but i have no other option.. after the upgrade.... there seems to be some serious compatibilty problems// i now even have no support for laptop camera
[16:33] <dr_willis> seems the pymodules dirs are just links to the pyshared directory of the proper version      /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7
[16:34] <dr_willis> ie: -> lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root     36 2011-06-12 03:24 ORBit.so -> /usr/lib/pyshared/python2.7/ORBit.so
[16:34] <Cheery> do you have config for linux version 3.0.0-rc3+ ?
[16:34] <dr_willis> lolzer,  i rarely is ever  Upgrade. i just do clean installs.. much less hassles.
[16:35] <dinkdink> lolzer: sudo aptitude install mozilla-plugin-gnash
[16:35] <Abhijit> how to have a UTC clock on panel ??
[16:35] <dr_willis> what flash sites are you wanting to get going with gnash?
[16:36] <dinkdink> lolzer: did you download and compile the latest gnash
[16:36] <RevSpecies116> shed, are you on Ubuntu 11.04?
[16:36] <lolzer> dinkdink, i just went to the repos and downloaded from there
[16:36] <dinkdink> lolzer: if yes you will have to drop libgnashplugin.so in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins or put a symbolic link in
[16:36] <root_user_> hello
[16:37] <sveinse> dr_willis: These two dirs are not in sync on my system. E.g. I cannot find ORBit.so in /usr/lib/pymodules
[16:37] <sveinse> I think that is the reason why nautilus is misbehaving as well (since it using python binding)
[16:38] <lolzer> dinkdink, what is the symbolic link.. how to do it??
[16:38] <dr_willis> willis@Cowbuntu:/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7$ ls -l /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/ORBit.so
[16:38] <dr_willis> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 36 2011-06-12 03:24 /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/ORBit.so -> /usr/lib/pyshared/python2.7/ORBit.so
[16:38] <dinkdink> lolzer: you may also have to chmod it
[16:38] <sveinse> So. How should this be?  No Repo solution?
[16:39] <sveinse> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root<PHONE_NUMBER>-11-15 10:41 /usr/lib/pyshared/python2.7/ORBit.so

[16:39] <ASKidwai> Hello
[16:40] <ASKidwai> how do I kill something that's running by the terminal?
[16:40] <ASKidwai> sudo killall doesn't work
[16:40] <sveinse> dr_willis: Yes, I have /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7 with *lots* of contents
[16:40] <var9> once a pci express slot isnt getting sufficient power to it; is there a way to fix that?
[16:40] <dr_willis> ASKidwai,  'kill pid'  can be done.
[16:40] <coz_> ASKidwai,   is this an application window?
[16:40] <dr_willis> sveinse,  all those contents are links to stuff in the pyshared dir here.
[16:40] <ASKidwai> dr_willis, I need to specify which application
[16:40] <ASKidwai> coz_, what?
[16:41] <dinkdink> but if he compiles the latest gnash on his own he will have to link to the plugin in the /usr/lib/gnash/libgnashplugin.so
[16:41] <Cheery> (btw) kill -9 never hesitates when he kills someone
[16:41] <dr_willis> ASKidwai,  ps ax | grep appname and get its pid.. or clairfy what you are doing exactly
[16:41] <ASKidwai> Firefox isn't responding
[16:41] <ASKidwai> I wanna kill it
[16:41] <Randolph`> killall firefox-bin
[16:41] <dr_willis> firefox i think has a name thats not 'firefox' :)
[16:41] <coz_> ASKidwai,    is firefox opened?    in terminal  xkill
[16:41] <dr_willis> xkill and click on a window = one way
[16:42] <dinkdink> or replace that file with the one in the src file or whatever
[16:42] <Cheery> ASKidwai: ps ax | grep firefox
[16:42] <sivakumar> hi to everyone
[16:42] <sveinse> dr_willis: But some content aren't linked, like the ORBit.so example, so something has happened. Do you know how I can regenerate the links?
[16:42] <noah1989> yeahm firefox is called firefox-bin
[16:42] <dr_willis> sveinse,  no idea on remaking the links
[16:42] <sveinse> ok, thanks
[16:42] <ASKidwai> ok
[16:42] <ASKidwai> thanks all

[16:43] <Abhijit> how to have a UTC clock on panel ??
[16:43] <Cheery> I liked about the tron legacy style of leeting with unix commands.
[16:43] <sivakumar> i have a problem that while installing visual studio 2008 with wine..it is stopping at middle ....what the problem....please help me
[16:44] <oCean> sivakumar: ask in #winehq
[16:44] <dr_willis> The clock seems to be able to show times ion other timezones.. set up one for the UTC timezone
[16:45] <Abhijit> dr_willis, how? i selected my city and time zone gmt but nothing happens it just shows regular time
[16:45] <dr_willis> Abhijit,  its right ther ein the clock 'time and date settings'
[16:45] <Cheery> could it be possible to get audio fadeout effect when computer closes?
[16:45] <dr_willis> i got a UTC now in the menu...
[16:46] <dr_willis> i select UTC and it now shows UTC in the main clock
[16:46] <RevSpecies116> sivakumar: try in #winehq
[16:46] <Abhijit> dr_willis, i am in lucid there is no any such setting
[16:46] <RevSpecies116> WOW, I was slow that time
[16:47] <RevSpecies116> oCean How does one raise a bug/issue with the Ubuntu Wiki?
[16:47] <dr_willis> I think they got a wiki channel
[16:47] <dr_willis> !wiki
[16:47] <dr_willis> or perhaps not.
[16:47] <dr_willis> !docs
[16:48] <RevSpecies116> It's the Wiki that has the bug/issue - it must have been recently updated - the fav-icon is the default icon, not an Ubuntu specific icon
[16:48] <oCean> RevSpecies116: there is a #ubuntu-doc channel, you might try there
[16:49] <dr_willis> thats the whole bug? the fav-icon? :)
[16:49] <Abhijit> dr_willis, i selected the location perfectly but it just selects the location its still not affecting the change of time to UTC. also is UTC=GMT am i right? becuaes there is only option gmt and not utc
[16:49] <tsimpson> RevSpecies116: that's known, there's a wiki update in progress
[16:49] <RevSpecies116> the fav-icon, yep
[16:49] <dr_willis> UTC=GMT  as far as i know
[16:49] <RevSpecies116> Not an Ubuntu graphic, and it was before
[16:49] <Abhijit> dr_willis, okay
[16:49] <RevSpecies116> Now it is some M in a globe
[16:50]  * jiltdil loving firefox5 its best till date
[16:50] <RevSpecies116> Ahhh, thanks tsimpson

[16:51] <dinkdink> and all my firefox settings are deleted
[16:52] <jiltdil> bad luck to you :(
[16:52] <zhaopengcheng_> hi

[16:58] <MagicJ> what is the channel for open office help?
[16:59] <quixotep> I am new to ubuntu. i am trying to play itunes music from my mac share on my rythmbox. nothing is showing up.
[16:59] <oCean> MagicJ: there is #openoffice.org and #libreoffice
[17:00] <quixotep> i have pointed rythmbox to the mac where itunes library is via ip addr and port 3689, but no songs show up.  any ideas?
[17:01] <RevSpecies116> Can you confirm you can see the share from within Ubuntu, quixotep
[17:01] <Fr4gg0r> can someone help me creating an ignore pattern for meld? =/
[17:01] <Fr4gg0r> I want it to ignore lines that contain ".line"
[17:06] <irwiss> Hey there, I have an intel fake raid controller and a failed drive. Does it make sense for dmraid -r to show one line? is there a way to see the reason for the second HDD(which i know for certain has issues via smart) not listed? or force it to re-detect the stuff?
[17:08] <qwerty121_> Hello all! I am using XAMPP for linux. PHP's mail function isn't working for me. Didn't change any config file that may have connection with it. Am I missing something? [Sorry, if it's not the right place to ask the question.]
[17:09] <ikonia> qwerty121_: xammp is not an ubuntu supported application, as it is self conained platform.

[17:09] <bhavesh> By mistake anyone who program or knows about LWUIT in Java ME?
[17:09] <rubenjr> dr_willis: so im installing the older verson and its working fine
[17:09] <ikonia> !xammp | qwerty121_
[17:10] <bhavesh> does someone program in Java ME?
[17:10] <ikonia> bhavesh: try ##java

[17:10] <qwerty121_> ikonia: hmm. thanks. was wondering if anyone uses it and can help me.
[17:10] <bhavesh> channel
[17:10] <ikonia> bhavesh: register your nick
[17:10] <ikonia> qwerty121_: no, we don't support it
[17:10] <quixotep> can anyone help me with rythmbox and itunes compatibility?
[17:11] <ikonia> quixotep: in what respect ?
[17:11] <bhavesh> ikonia: ok
[17:11] <quixotep> i cannot see my itunes library on my rythmbox session.  itunes sharing is on
[17:11] <brainsoft> please help! ive deleted a file doing cp file1 file2 and i need to recover file2 what can I do?
[17:12] <RevSpecies116> brainsoft: I'm not sure there is recovery from that error :(
[17:13] <hashtags> hi there! big beginner to ubuntu. I'm looking to install apache but noticed after installing it via terminal that it can be done via interface. how do I undo "sudo apt-get install apache2" ???
[17:13] <ikonia> hashtags: you can remove apache 2 by the gui
[17:13] <hashtags> ikonia: ok is it just as simple as removing the folder?
[17:13] <ikonia> hashtags: open the package manager, search for apache2 and hit "remove" or mark for removal, then remove
[17:13] <quixotep> ikonia:  i cannot see my itunes library on my rythmbox session.  itunes sharing is on
[17:13] <RevSpecies116> unless from a different repo, ikonia
[17:14] <ikonia> hashtags: no, you use the package manager
[17:14] <ikonia> RevSpecies116: no, even then you can do it, the package manager manages all repos
[17:14] <ikonia> quixotep: is it supposed to support that, I didn't think it could do that
[17:15] <hashtags> ikonia: thanks! that helped alot :)
[17:15] <ikonia> welcome
[17:16] <quixotep> ikonia:  oh, i didn't realize that.  I am new to ubuntu and all my music is on itunes.  any way for rythmbox to play it?  any other ubuntu music players compatible with itunes?
[17:16] <ikonia> quixotep: I don't think you can play it from within itunes,
[17:18] <smftre> having a really odd one here, I removed sendmail and installed postfix, then got an error because postfix was still running, so "kill"ed it, and restarted postfix, but now when I do "mailx" I get no errors and nothing gets sent either! any ideas on this? wtf!
[17:18] <RevSpecies116> Wonder if Banshee can do it
[17:18] <abstrakt> how do I determine what timezone my server thinks it lives in?
[17:18] <abstrakt> and how do I determine whether the server thinks the internal clock is set to GMT or not?
[17:18] <abstrakt> it seems like this server thinks it's on GTM, which would suggest that the internal clock is in fact set to GMT but the system timezone hasn't been set yet
[17:19] <abstrakt> although, to be truthful i don't actually know the physical location of the server
[17:19] <sipior> quixotep: unfortunately, apple has ensured that other players won't connect to an itunes daap export. you can copy your music folder to a linux box, or simply export the volume from the mac via nfs (that might be a bit clunky, though)
[17:19] <abstrakt> ok, nevermind, it's in texas :)
[17:19] <abstrakt> so i know that much, now how do I determine A) whether the hardware clock is set to GMT and also B) what timezone the server *thinks* its in
[17:20] <RevSpecies116> Seems the DAAP plugin needs to be enabled in Rhythmbox
[17:20] <RevSpecies116> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=442460 <-- from 2007
[17:20] <quixotep> ikonia:  i read something about DAAP share that is supported by rythmbox and is utilized by itunes.  do you know anything about that?\
[17:20] <sipior> RevSpecies116: even so, it won't connect to an itunes share (post version 7 or so)
[17:21] <sipior> RevSpecies116: there was much chest-beating about the matter at the time :-)
[17:21] <ikonia> quixotep: as I said, I didn't think it was possible
[17:22] <RevSpecies116> Ahhh, a downgrade to itunes 7 is in order then, quixotep - I'm not sure Steve Jobs would allow that though :(
[17:22] <sipior> yes, good luck finding it if you don't already have it
[17:22] <quixotep> ikonia:  ok, thanks for your time.  I appreciate the help.
[17:23] <Mandrew> anyone here that have tried the prog cli companion?
[17:24] <MadRobot> Hi all.
[17:24] <MadRobot> Anyone here uses Pyroom?
[17:24] <MadRobot> I get a "segmentation fault" error when I try to run it for some reason.
[17:24] <boldfilter> if you burned out your sound card on your motherboard, could you mess up other things like acpi for example
[17:25] <sipior> boldfilter: how exactly did you burn out your sound card?
[17:25] <boldfilter> well, it cuts out and in, and then i have macosx and it relies heavily on acpi, and my acpi sceen dosnt show when i boot
[17:26] <Lee_Sharp> join #ubuntu-za
[17:26] <ActionParsnip> MadRobot: did you get it via ppa?
[17:27] <boldfilter> intel g33 chipset
[17:27] <MadRobot> ActionParsnip: No. I got the tarball.
[17:27] <ActionParsnip> MadRobot: the package was built only 116 weeks ago (more than 2 years)
[17:27] <hashtags> I can't click Apply after marking apache2.2-common for Complete Removal, any ideas?
[17:27] <MadRobot> ActionParsnip: I know.
[17:27] <blz> hashtags:  this is why the cli is usually best.  use apt-get remove --purge
[17:27] <ActionParsnip> MadRobot: not sure then , are there any bugs reported etc?
[17:28] <MadRobot> ActionParsnip: No. There doesn't seem to be anything of that sort.
[17:28] <dinkdink> alright something freaky is going on with my software i just got rick rolled using youtube
[17:28] <hashtags> blz: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) I guess I should try rebooting? ><
[17:29] <MadRobot> ActionParsnip: It used to run flawlessly a couple months ago.
[17:29] <blz> hashtags, no.  you're probably already updating/installing something
[17:29] <ActionParsnip> MadRobot: hmm, if you run it from terminal, do you get output (or does it always get ran in terminal)
[17:29] <blz> hashtags,  wait for it to finish or kill the offending process
[17:29] <MadRobot> ActionParsnip: Noting. I only get "Segmentation fault".
[17:29] <blz> hashtags, you can only do one thing at a time with your package database
[17:30] <hashtags> blz: must be a hickup then, cause I dont have anything going on, will try to find the process
[17:30] <MadRobot> ActionParsnip: If I try to open it from the GUI, I get "Could not open /usr/bin/pyroom".
[17:31] <blz> hashtags, I see.  yet another reason to stick to the cli.  It's probably a leftover lock from an earlier time you used the grahpical package manager.  you can go ahead and do a soft reboot
[17:31] <hashtags> blz: all my processes are sleeping except for the system monitor so I will indeed try a reboot, thanks brb :)
[17:31] <blz> hashtags, np. see you in a few
[17:34] <MadRobot> ActionParsnip: It's really sad that they abandonded it. It's very useful for eleminating distractions during my writing session.. :-(
[17:34] <econdudeawesome> newb question--how do I see what hard drives the computer detects?
[17:34] <miguel> hi guys
[17:36] <Guest98907> how do you change the top task bar which has the time ,batttery status ect to black ? as i installed my GPU driver and restarted n it does go black but thengoes white again ?
[17:36] <hashtags_> things are worked better now :-)
[17:36] <econdudeawesome> nm
[17:36] <econdudeawesome> mount does it
[17:37] <Guest98907> anyone?
[17:37] <dr_willis> Guest98907,  i think that may be a video driver bug.
[17:37] <Guest98907> as its enabled and everything
[17:37] <cannonball> I
[17:38] <dr_willis> mine is a dark grey here. :) but it may depend on the theme you pick
[17:38] <cannonball> I've been looking but haven't been able to find it.  Is there a way to get regular vertical scroll bars back instead of the weird floating updown thing that you can grab with your mouse?
[17:38] <Guest98907> i tried different themes but nothing
[17:39] <Guest98907> its weird coz when i rebooted it goes black but then changes to white again :(
[17:40] <Trashi> cannonball: think that new scrollbar comes with some packages .. look for overlay-scrollbar and liboverlay-scrollbar-0.1-0
[17:42] <shp> hi

[17:43] <jkbrntot> @user_ : start VPN service
[17:43] <jkbrntot> shp: doesnt ubuntu automatically mount connected devices?
[17:43] <dr_willis> Guest98907,  check out ->   http://askubuntu.com/search?q=unity+panel+color+change
[17:43] <mgolisch> shp: you should just add this to your fstab
[17:43] <Trashi> shp: ubuntu does automaticly mount that
[17:43] <dr_willis> jkbrntot,  it auto mounts them on access for the most part.
[17:43] <mgolisch> if you want it mounted on system startup
[17:44] <dr_willis> !fstab

I'm following instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DisklessUbuntuHowto but i cant seem to figure out the Installing on NFS drive part. Thanks,
[17:45] <g0rd0n> what are the contents of sources.list for ubuntu natty server? someone installed the normal natty and i would like to change that
[17:45] <mark_scz> How can i get the notify-send command?
[17:46] <trism> mark_scz: install libnotify-bin
[17:46] <Pici> g0rd0n: Server and Desktop user the same repositories.
[17:46] <tonyyarusso> g0rd0n: They are identical.  There is no difference between desktop and server in that respect.
[17:46] <ashmew2> g0rd0n, by normal natty you mean the Gnome Natty and you want the Unity enabled Nattyy instead ?
[17:46] <shp> thanks dr_willis
[17:46] <ashmew2> g0rd0n, OMG ignore. Misread you.
[17:46] <g0rd0n> oh ok thank you
[17:46] <g0rd0n> hehe

[17:55] <duckx0r> I'm trying to use parts of my home directory on another computer, so I added a sshfs mount and symlinked various folders in my local home folder to the ones on the remote folder. It works perfectly for Thunderbird and Opera, however when I open Pidgin, it has all my accounts added, but for some reason it says it's waiting for a network connection. Any ideas how I can debug this?
[17:57] <pRoV7x>  hello there
[17:57] <dr_willis> the sshfs commands may have some 'verbose output' options
[17:58] <dr_willis> duckx0r,   if you are not using the sshfs then pidgin connects quickly?
[17:58] <pRoV7x>  any tricks that makes ubuntu super fast
[17:58] <duckx0r> dr_willis, yes.
[17:58] <dr_willis> pidgin may have some verbose outpuit if ran from a terminal options also.
[17:59] <dr_willis> I never use pidgin.
[17:59] <duckx0r> dr_willis, i'll try that
[17:59] <dr_willis> 'run from a terminal look at output' - trouble shooting  tool #1   :)
[17:59] <ActionParsnip> pidgin kicks ass
[17:59] <dr_willis> Im anti-social networking.
[18:00] <ActionParsnip> duckx0r: not used it using shared folder via ssh, could always use X forwarding and just run pidgin in the remote terminal
[18:00] <shp> i'm looking for the equivalent of AppData folder (windows) in ubuntu ? for instance i'd like to know where is my mumble folder datas
[18:00] <dr_willis> The whole 'social-connected-desktop' thing seems to be getting downlplayed  now. :)
[18:00] <ActionParsnip> duckx0r: could also use something like dropbox to sync settings between systems, may be better
[18:01] <Psydoll> exit
[18:01] <dr_willis> shp,  the apps could put them anywhere..  most likely one of the various .XXXX dirs in your home. try somthing like ' ls -R | grep mumble'
[18:01] <dr_willis> oh wait a -a may be needed...
[18:01] <duckx0r> ActionParsnip, X forwarding will be my second option I think
[18:01] <dr_willis> ls -aR | grep mumble
[18:02] <shp> dr_willis,
[18:02] <shp> shp@ubuntu:~$ ls -a -R | grep mumble
[18:02] <shp> .mumble.sqlite
[18:02] <dr_willis> !info mumble
[18:02] <dr_willis> Never used it. or heard of it..  that may be its config file then.
[18:02] <shp> dr_willis, does not tell me where is this file ?
[18:02] <dr_willis> that was where its at....
[18:02] <dr_willis>  in your home dir.. :)
[18:02] <shp> (i do'nt see any .mumble.sqlite when i do ls -a=
[18:03] <preecher> ActionParsnip speaking of pidgin--can i remove empathy without messing up other stuff & use pidgin? i prefer pidgin myself but currently keep empathy installed because i didnt know if it would screw up other things if i removed it
[18:03] <dr_willis> look above the line perhaps.
[18:03] <shp> i had -R option in the find command
[18:03] <Pici> shp: find ~/ -iname "*mumble*"
[18:03] <dr_willis> find is handy also.
[18:03] <dr_willis> locate may also work
[18:03] <shp> works Pici
[18:04] <shp> thx
[18:04] <ntr0py> Is it possible to use Compiz with Natty?
[18:04] <dr_willis> i need to figure out how to setup a 'locate just in the users home dir'  setup.
[18:05] <dr_willis> ntr0py,  compiz is standard in ubuntu for the last 4+ releases i think.
[18:05] <dr_willis> ntr0py,  its included in Natty.
[18:05] <dr_willis> ntr0py,  you need your 3d drivers working properly first.
[18:06] <shp> isn't there a way to share Application Datas with Windows and Ubuntu?
[18:06] <ntr0py> Yes but its very unstable in Natty... I cant use Compiz control center because it always crashes...
[18:06] <dr_willis> shp,  it would depend on the app. ive done so with xchat in the past.
[18:06] <shp> i created symbolic links but developpers renamed mumble.sqlite into .mumble.sqlite so it does not match
[18:06] <dr_willis> ntr0py,  ive had more issues with Unity then i have compiz. there are some guides on using the older compiz in natty.
[18:06] <ntr0py> All i get is "unity-window-de[1653]: segfault at ffffffff ip 00007f344fb5e2b6 sp 00007fff26b09e50 error 4 in libglib-2.0.so.0.2800.6[7f344fafe000+ed000]"
[18:06] <shp> i've done it with xchat and it works fine but for mumble not the same file names

[18:07] <penlat_> how do you install flash for miro 4? I already have it installed for firefox
[18:07] <dr_willis> penlat_,  how did you install it for Firefox?
[18:07] <ntr0py> dr_willis: do you know any ppa's where a stable Xorg is included?
[18:07] <nafta> I know this is not a webhosting channel, but I wanted to ask if there is a way to start a hosting company (billing system, control panel for client and for administrator) with open source software? I've read, I've googled..and I did find virtualmin but I don't know the diference between virtualmin and webmin...I want to be able to sell shared hosting and reseller accounts for my clients, and manage all this thru a billing system..is this pos
[18:08] <dr_willis> ntr0py,  theres a few xorg ppa's but i never use them
[18:08] <penlat_> dr_willis, I downloaded the deb from adobe
[18:08] <sipior> nafta: as you said, this isn't a webhosting channel.
[18:08] <dr_willis> penlat_,  you sould instasll it from the package manager.. not downloading from adobe.
[18:08] <nafta> cool, I just hope I could find a fellow hoster around :D
[18:08] <nafta> thanks anyways.
[18:08] <Pici> nafta: Theres, #web, #ubuntu-offtopic, even #freenode might be able to suggest a better channel
[18:08] <penlat_> ok
[18:08] <ntr0py> dr_willis: well i also would like to use the one shipped with natty, but its simply too buggy for use
[18:09] <blizzow1> holy fuck what a piece of unreliable garbage pulseaudio has become.

[18:09] <nafta> oh..#web..nice I tried #webhosting and #webhost with no louck, gonna try those
[18:09] <nafta> thanks

[18:09] <Castatroy> what command can i use to get the linux distro and version
[18:09] <nafta> really helpful folks..thanks!
[18:10] <IdleOne> Castatroy: lsb_release -a and uname -a
[18:10] <penlat_> dr_willis, flash still doesnt work in miro
[18:11] <dr_willis> penlat_,  its possible the deb you downloaded messed things up. its hard to tell.   let me check miro here.
[18:11] <dr_willis> !info miro
[18:11] <penlat_> ok
[18:14] <Castatroy> IdleOne: thanks
[18:14] <penlat_> dr_willis, reinstalled miro. same result
[18:15] <lafon> hello
[18:15] <dr_willis> reinstalling to 'fix' things - is windows thinking. :)

[18:16] <penlat_> dr_willis, can you access youtube and hulu through miro
[18:16] <classico> hello people, i want to install 3 linuxes on my netbook, but i'm having troubles finding the best way to partition all that
[18:17] <sipior> Ahtenus: i'm fairly certain f-stop can do that, but haven't verified it myself.
[18:17] <classico> i heard i should create sda1 as the swap partition, i hear i should create an extended partition with a logical swap...
[18:18] <dr_willis> penlat_,  i cant even see where thats at heh...
[18:18] <soultekkie> does anyone have the updated(maverick) ambiance/radiance themes in lucid? the repositories went dead
[18:19] <penlat_> dr_willis on the left hand side
[18:19] <mark__> ls
[18:19] <ZykoticK9> classico, sharing 1 swap between all installs is a good idea, FYI sharing a home directory might not work out (due to different versions of the same software) YMMV
[18:19] <Abhijit> no luck for utc clock please help
[18:19] <Abhijit> how to add utc clock to panel?
[18:19] <llutz> classico: only linux on that netbook? then use all logical drives, 1 swap, 3 linux-/ and 1 big data-partition to be shared
[18:19] <Ahtenus> sipior, Ok, I'll try it
[18:20] <dr_willis> penlat_,  no hulu there by default. :) i had to add it via the menus
[18:20] <dr_willis> dosent like flash. so thats a fail it seems
[18:20] <penlat_> dr_willis, its there on mine by default
[18:21] <dr_willis> i just installed miro 2 min ago. wasent there for me.
[18:21] <robot_jesus> hey whats the name of that quick launch app for ubuntu where I start typing the program name and it auto completes it and executes it ?
[18:22] <ZykoticK9> robot_jesus, are you thinking of gnome-do?  (MONO alert!)
[18:22] <dr_willis> penlat_,  inetersting message in the terminal -->   ERROR: Invalid browser function table. Some functionality may be restricted.
[18:22] <Randolph`> synapse also does that robot_jesus
[18:22] <go7enks> hello guys! Need help on a quick question
[18:22] <lafon> is calibre a redundant program?
[18:22] <go7enks> related to installing ubuntu on dual boot
[18:22] <dr_willis> !info calibre
[18:23] <penlat_> dr_willis, i guess it wont work then
[18:23] <thegladiator> ubuntu-offtopic
[18:23] <lafon> what i mean is that synaptic states it as needing autoremove
[18:24] <dr_willis> penlat_,  it may be possible to put the flash plugin in some .miro dir. i was thinking it was based on firefox.. or am i thinking of 'songbird'  or perhaps both are...
[18:24] <go7enks> I have Windows 7 installed on my Laptop and there are 3 partitions: SDA 1 some recovery partition of 15 gb; SDA 2 Win 7 loader 105 mb and SDA 3 main partition of 480+ gb
[18:24] <go7enks> can I just change the size of SDA 3 during the installation?
[18:24] <go7enks> withotu losing any data?
[18:25] <dr_willis> penlat_,  http://askubuntu.com/search?q=miro+flash     dosent look good.
[18:25] <penlat_> dr_willis, hmmm, i have to find what folder to put plugin
[18:25] <wols_> go7enks: theoretically yes, in practive you always need backups. and you need to create an extended partition
[18:25] <Avenger101> @go7enks:i think no
[18:25] <wols_> go7enks: resizing a partition without backups is always risky
[18:26] <go7enks> well I backed up, actually, there's nothing on my laptop that I might use and I created a recovery disk
[18:26] <wols_> then go for it :)
[18:26] <go7enks> would it be less risky if I did it via Win 7 partition manager?
[18:26] <go7enks> or it's the same?
[18:26] <wols_> you can also, if you want, get the latest gparted live cd, and resize partitions with that
[18:26] <wols_> same risk basically
[18:26] <g0rd0n> i have this problem with locales: http://pastebin.com/aMY9pGZG how can i fix it?
[18:27] <dinkdink> gparted works wonders on resizing ntfs
[18:27] <Avenger101> Use partitionmanager
[18:27] <wols_> and I'd rather use a live cd which isn't running off that partition you are resizing.
[18:27] <go7enks> so gparted is basically my safest choice
[18:27] <wols_> g0rd0n: tried dpkg-reconfigure locales?
[18:27] <go7enks> via gparted live cd or usb
[18:28] <go7enks> right
[18:28] <go7enks> ?
[18:28] <wols_> imho yes
[18:28] <g0rd0n> wols_: read the paste... thats the response to the command
[18:28] <g0rd0n> i dont even get the possibility to change the locales
[18:28] <g0rd0n> just get those errors and thrown back to console
[18:28] <go7enks> ok, i'll try that, if I have other questions I'll come back :p
[18:28] <go7enks> thanks
[18:28] <dr_willis> I find windows 7 resizes ntfs faster then gparted does..  but that dosent do much good if you dont have windows7 :)
[18:29] <wols_> g0rd0n: set every LC variable to "C"
[18:29] <wols_> e.g. export LANG=C
[18:29] <wols_> then try again
[18:29] <g0rd0n> wols_: now i dont get those errors anymore, but nothing happens... i press enter and i am back to console prompt
[18:30] <CestSebastian> hi, is there a svn command to find the url of the svn repo for the local working copy?
[18:30] <wols_> dr_willis: I don't care about speed. I care about my data and the time needed to restore if it goes tits up. so I rather use a PE or live cd to mangle it than run from the partition I am mangling
[18:30] <tomacco> untu
[18:30] <wols_> g0rd0n: you need to read more carefully: there is no error
[18:31] <g0rd0n> wols_: but how do i install new locales then? i thought dpkg-reconfigure locales was the way to go
[18:31] <dr_willis> !locale
[18:31] <dr_willis> I normally remove locals :)
[18:31] <classico> ok so I make 1 primary partition for swap, then one extended partition with all my linuxes (each one in a logical partition), and one big primary data partition (ext4?)
[18:31] <wols_> g0rd0n: it normally is. what is your debconf setting?
[18:31] <dr_willis> classico,  they can all be logicals in an extended if you wanted to
[18:32] <eiriksvin> does anyone know of a great eq with a nice gui? I'm trying to jam some sick bassnectar and I want to be able to mix my subs in and have a graphical gui eq
[18:32] <go7enks> sorry guys, another question. if I'm installing ubuntu via live cd, having booted with it, it's safe to resize directly during installation? or it's the same thing we were discussing before?
[18:32] <dinkdink> classico: multiple.. linuxes.. ?
[18:32]  * dr_willis reads eiriksvin 's question 3 times to figure out what hes asking for,,,
[18:33] <wols_> go7enks: it uses the same programs as gparted, yes
[18:33] <dr_willis> !dj
[18:33] <classico> oh the logical think does not change the performances?
[18:33] <wols_> classico: no
[18:33] <rumpe1> go7enks, it's never "safe" to modify partitions... do backup
[18:33] <classico> think=thing
[18:33] <dr_willis> classico,  it shouldent.
[18:33] <dinkdink> classico: if memory serves you can have up to 4 primary partitions
[18:33] <classico> ok thanks guys
[18:33] <eiriksvin> I need a gui eq so I can change my bass/mid/treble
[18:34] <dr_willis> 4 primary max. ONE of which can be a Extended.. holding a large # of logicals
[18:34] <llutz> classico: there is no practical difference between logical/primary
[18:34] <classico> i spent hours yesterday researching that stuff
[18:34] <classico> especially in the ubuntu documentation, haven't found what you just said
[18:34] <dr_willis> eiriksvin,  ive seen Pulse Audio Sound Equilizers. but it was some unofficial app. not in the default repos. I must have seen it mentioned once at the omgubuntu, or webupd8 web site.
[18:35] <classico> is it easy to update the ubuntu documentation or to just add a note or something?
[18:35] <dinkdink> eiriksvin: i think alsa does that
[18:35] <runicfox> After upgrading to Natty, I noticed in my terminal (bash) that spaces (and special characters) are not being escaped.  DAE have this problem?
[18:35] <runicfox> To clarify, I mean when Tabbing to autocomplete a filename.
[18:36] <dr_willis> eiriksvin,   perhaps --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578
[18:37] <Avenger101> Guys, i need a video converter that can change video size. can anyone help?
[18:37] <dr_willis> eiriksvin,  and   http://www.webupd8.org/2010/02/pulseaudio-system-wide-equalizer-now.html
[18:37] <dr_willis> Avenger101,  winff, or ffmpeg or mencoder.
[18:37] <llutz> Avenger101: mencoder, ffmpeg,
[18:37] <llutz> grr
[18:38] <dr_willis> winff - gui to  ffmpeg.  very easy to use. :)
[18:39] <Avenger101> Dr_willis: thanx bro, i'll try
[18:40] <dr_willis> the ffmpeg homepage has some presets that are not in the normal repo installed version also.. good for android users.

[18:42] <lafon> how do i install a game when disk is marked as read-only without exe permission
[18:43] <wols_> you copy over the files to some palce that can exec. or you remount
[18:43] <chalcedony> my ubuntu 11.04 desktop won't boot after i did update & upgrade. it's just sitting there.
[18:43] <lafon> remount?
[18:43] <ZykoticK9> lafon, are you talking wine?  if so you can start the install from cli - cd to the CD then run "wine PROGRAM.exe"
[18:43] <classico> if i use a big logical partition for data, how much is necessary for the "linux" partition? (the one with the system). i'm not a gamer nor a user of very heavy softwares
[18:44] <sarkis> hey guys, is there a way to modify preferences for workspaces in 11.04? i can't find it

[18:46] <user_> who can help me?
[18:47] <chalcedony> dinkdink, i wish . no the system isn't
[18:47] <Cryp71c> So is there some easy way to see where "make install" installs to? I tried -n but its mostly indecipherable bash code. I manuall installed glib and that manual installation is now the "default" and is messing up essentially ever application which uses it.
[18:47] <Abhijit> user_, ask
[18:47] <classico> sarkis, that's a major issue with unity, not easy to tweak, that's why ubuntu-tweak (or tweak ubuntu, i'm not sure) was designed
[18:47] <lafon> @user: with what?
[18:47] <classico> it's fairly common to install
[18:47] <dinkdink> chalcedony: did you monitor the upgrade to see it complete or lose power during

[18:48] <iamaham> is there an automated diagnostic tool for testing bandwidth capabilities? basically a program I can run hourly to speakeasy.net or something
[18:48] <chalcedony> dinkdink, i was here, it didn't lose power, the only less than usual thing (but it's been happening a while) is an error not being able to find a skype file.
[18:49] <dinkdink> chalcedony: when it upgraded was there a kernel upgrade
[18:49] <chalcedony> dinkdink, i did upgrade manually after that
[18:49] <chalcedony> dinkdink, i'm not sure
[18:49] <Castatroy> pls how do i enable vlan on an interface
[18:49] <dinkdink> chalcedony: hm can you sh in somehow
[18:49] <Castatroy> lets say i want to add vlan 170
[18:49] <Castatroy> to eth0
[18:50] <chalcedony> dinkdink, how about if i try restarting with the older kernel?
[18:50] <dinkdink> chalcedony: if you can get a look at the system i would check the kernel, see if there is more than one
[18:50] <szal> dinkdink: afaik, there hasn't been a kernel update for Natty yet
[18:51] <chalcedony> dinkdink, it usually gives me a list, command hit enter ...

[18:52] <dinkdink> szal: what i meant to say was there was a kernel upgrade when i used natty before it was a release
[18:52] <szal> dinkdink: that's another pair of shoes ;)
[18:52] <chalcedony> dinkdink,  2.6.32-30 older one is 2.6.32-28
[18:52] <szal> chalcedony: that is certainly not Natty, that is more likely to be Lucid
[18:52] <jf__> hello,i have a strange problem in ubuntu 11.04 x64: flash player freeze every 5 sec for 10 sec or more.if i enable desktop effects working ok
[18:53] <dinkdink> szal: do we know that he didn't upgrade from beta to release?
[18:53] <szal> dinkdink: read above, now we know :P

[18:54] <ghostpadza> join #shadowsec
[18:54] <chalcedony> szal, when i first rebooted it was the pink-purple theme. terrifying to think it's booting into my old drive, and not using the correct one with 11.04?!!!
[18:54] <Castatroy> "could not open /proc/net/vlan/config" please how do i add 8021q module permanently to my system
[18:56] <dinkdink> chalcedony: is there a symbolic link though.. might be linked to a kernel image that is no longer there due to a upgrade.. just because u have a kernel in there does not tell me whether or not the upgrade updated the kernel.. i mean i'm just giving you a place to investigate
[18:56] <chalcedony> szal, dinkdink if it did update/upgrade on my current drive and then failed.. ?

[18:58] <eiriksvin> System-Wide PulseAudio Equalizer Updated For Ubuntu 11.04 Natty <- awesome!
[18:58] <soultekkie> is there a tool to append a line to files like /etc/sudoers
[18:58] <llutz> soultekkie: visudo
[18:58] <eiriksvin> google that if you want pure audio control
[18:58] <dr_willis> soultekkie,  echo can do that with carefull use of the > redirection
[18:59] <sosaited> Can someone tell what this command will do "iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 51215 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 51215 "
[18:59] <dr_willis> soultekkie,  but thats not a good idea to mess with that file..  back it up first in any case
[19:00] <sgillet> hey all, I use "last [user] -a" command to check the last login/logouts of a user.. but it only shows me the history back to the 2nd of june
[19:00] <sgillet> do you know anything that can go earlier?
[19:01] <JohnSS_> Is having a dual-boot situation an increased security risk?
[19:01] <oCean> sgillet: see your wtmp.X files in /var/log. Use last -f /var/log/wtmp.1 for example
[19:01] <dinkdink> sosaited: i would sudo visudo
[19:01] <chalcedony> sgillet, http://www.go2linux.org/last-user-login-history ?
[19:03] <dinkdink> soultekkie: i would sudo visudo
[19:03] <adnc> hello, my autocomplete does not work well with natty anymore. if I press tab with a letter for a directory it does not stop with the directoryname and a slash it completes the directoryname and a space, how can I fix it?
[19:05] <sgillet> @oCean thank you
[19:05] <llutz> adnc: you installed acroreader? http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/bash-completion-devel/2011-February/003350.html
[19:06] <delinquentme> whats the ubuntu main menu applet that controls the volume
[19:06] <dinkdink> soultekkie: i suppose you could also echo "whatever" | sudo tee -a /path/to/file
[19:07] <matt1888> I have a problem I have running a live persistence USB and my whole GUI turned from the beautiful new ubuntu to something that looks like windows 95 GUI help?
[19:07] <lafon> partial workaround
[19:07] <chalcedony> Recovery menu
[19:07] <chalcedony> [ 12.202837] /build/buildd/linux-2.632/drivers/hid/usbhid/hid-core.c: usb_submit_urb(ctrl) failed
[19:07] <lafon> installed first disk thru wine
[19:07] <chalcedony> dinkdink, ^^
[19:08] <lafon> then had the "data.cab" from home folder
[19:08] <lafon> worked properly :D
[19:08] <chalcedony> matt1888, what did you do exactly?
[19:09] <dinkdink> chalcedony: worst case scenario just back up your files and reinstall the operating system
[19:09] <matt1888> I logged off my account and logged back in
[19:09] <TaZeR> hey guys ubuntuz r0x0rz!
[19:09] <adnc> llutz, yes I did install acroreader
[19:09] <chalcedony> dinkdink, not if i can't get into my drive?
[19:10] <adnc> llutz, thank you very much for directing to the bug
[19:10] <lafon> @chalcedony: not even with livecd/usb?
[19:11] <dinkdink> chalcedony: not had a lot of foraying into the murky depths of banishment from the system however if you can get a livecd you could ..
[19:11] <dinkdink> chalcedony: what lafon said
[19:11] <chalcedony> oh lord :( lafon dinkdink thank you i think
[19:12] <dinkdink> well what else is there
[19:12] <ActionParsnip> PEWPEWPEWPEWPEWP: do you have the latest BIOS?
[19:12] <chalcedony> ActionParsnip, hugs very good to see you
[19:12] <computerx> G'day. Is there any way to limit the CPU usage of 1 program? Not like nice, but cap it at say 80% CPU use?
[19:12] <dinkdink> chalcedony: if you can get a livecd you can also search the drive for badblocks
[19:13] <edwardthefma> hey is thare a linux scandisc equivant that has a graphial display
[19:13] <JediMaster> Is there a mysql 5.5 ubuntu package around that someone knows of?
[19:13] <chalcedony> dinkdink, i'm not sure. my husband has the cds and he's asleep
[19:13] <ActionParsnip> chalcedony: and you dude
[19:13] <tertl3> computerx, cpu-set
[19:13] <tertl3> or cset
[19:13] <wildc4rd> evenin all
[19:14] <chalcedony> ActionParsnip, ty - i'm the other one, not a dude ;)
[19:14] <wols_> computerx: yes there is. look into cgroups
[19:14] <Spodey> Evening - can anyone help me work out why my machine hangs on boot if I have a DVI device plugged in? If I wait until half way through the boot process and plug it in, it's fine.
[19:14] <computerx> k, thanks both
[19:14] <wols_> chalcedony: you can use smartmon-tools to check for bad sectors from a running system just fine
[19:14] <wols_> Spodey: kmodeset? fb?
[19:15] <Spodey> wols_: Is that a question or a statement? I'm wondering if it might be grub related...
[19:15] <dinkdink> edwardthefma: i routinely sudo touch /forcefsck but if you are talking scaning for bad sectors then badblocks is the thing to use, have to unmount the drive
[19:15] <chalcedony> wols_, live cd sounds right it's just doing it. (i'm still quite sick, recovering from an inefection)
[19:16] <ActionParsnip> chalcedony: hehe
[19:16] <wols_> Spodey: possibley reasons for it going blank
[19:16] <ActionParsnip> chalcedony: i call my mum dude too
[19:16] <Spodey> wols_: It's not just going blank - it freezes the whole machine
[19:16] <chalcedony> ActionParsnip, ah i see! :)
 i want it to check the whole drive for errors
[19:17] <ActionParsnip> chalcedony: i'll call you dudette :0
[19:17] <dinkdink> Spodey: what's in your inittab
[19:18] <Czaruno2011> Hi all,  I think I have a simple question for you guys.  I have a fresh Wubi Ubuntu 11.04 install and I tried changing just one thing.  I added synergyc to the 'Startup Applications Preferences' and unfortunately now the login screen is not acting normally.   I can boot to a command line but I can't find where I can either reset or remove the entry I made into 'Startup Applications Preferences' from the command line to get things bac
[19:18] <chalcedony> ActionParsnip, fine son, that will be just great :)
[19:18] <Spodey> dinkdink: I don't think I have an inittab
[19:19] <Spodey> And besides - I don't think it's getting that far - I don't get an SSD Daemon
[19:19] <chalcedony> did you ever try to wake up a guy that can't hear, feel or talk, to ask him for a *working* live cd.. when he keeps them all, working or not?
[19:19] <chalcedony> back in a few
[19:19] <lucidguy> Anyone have any experience with hpn-ssh?
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> !boot | Czaruno2011
[19:20] <IAmError_> how do i make a file an executable? Im wanting to run something i have on my Win7 partition through wine on linux, and I right click, set as an executable, but when I try tio open with wine, it says it isn't.
[19:20] <Czaruno2011> ubottu,  from my understanding items in these preferences do not load at boot up but after you login to the window manager,  so I don't think the boot option references you sent apply.
[19:21] <ActionParsnip> IAmError_: chmod +x file
[19:21] <Mandrew> anyone who knows a channel with discussions about hardware for linux?
[19:21] <ActionParsnip> IAmError_: unless the app is VERY portable, it most likely won't work
[19:21] <ActionParsnip> Mandrew: ##hardware  may know or help
[19:21] <Mandrew> ok tnx
[19:21] <wols_> IAmError_: nothing neded. simply running "wine <executable>". what is the error?
[19:22] <ActionParsnip> wols_: wine likes the file it is using to be marked executable
[19:22] <ActionParsnip> IAmError_: does it work ok with playonlinux
[19:23] <sourav> hello all..
[19:23] <IAmError_> actionparsnip: havent tried that.
[19:23] <sourav> i am suffering some problem while installing cmake in ubuntu 10.4
[19:23] <IAmError_> Would a Mac version of a program run better than a Windows version?
[19:23] <sourav> when run the command sudo apt-get install cmake in terminal..
[19:23] <sourav> plz tell me how can i install cmake in my ubuntu-10.4
[19:23] <Mandrew> ActionParsnip i cant enter hardware  ##hardware :Cannot join channel (+r) - you need to be identified with services
[19:23] <Mandrew> * Cannot join #hardware (Channel is invite only).
[19:23] <RA_drc> !x
[19:24] <BluesKaj> IAmError_, try this : right click on the file>properties>permissions check the "make executable" box
[19:24] <Mandrew> ActionParsnip do you have any suggestions?
[19:25] <IAmError_> blueskaj: i have, then when i right click, open with wine, it says its not marked as an executable
[19:25] <IAmError_> same with the chmod command
[19:25] <trism> sourav: please pastebin the output of: sudo apt-get install cmake;
[19:25] <lafon> @IAmError do u have permission to mark it as exe?
[19:26] <RA_drc> !gtk
[19:26] <shp> i don't find my windows partition from ubuntu :(
[19:26] <ActionParsnip> IAmError_: you will need to remount the partition so that the files are marked executable.
[19:26] <shp> i want to access it
[19:27] <ActionParsnip> shp: if you run: sudo fdisk -l      do you see it?
[19:27] <lafon> shp: is the windows filesystem mounted?
[19:27] <BluesKaj> shp, sudo update-grub in the terminal , to start
[19:28] <ActionParsnip> IAmError_: what are you trying to run?
[19:29] <IAmError_> actionparsnip: doesn't matter anymore. it's too much of a hassle. i'll just keep switchin back and forth between partitions seeing as how linux is good for nothing but net browsing and elitist idealists who just want to show off
[19:29] <shp> ActionParsnip, yes can see it thanks i'm gonna mount it
[19:30] <RA_drc> how do i install gtk or x in ubuntu?
[19:30] <ActionParsnip> Iamerror: i'd say lots to the contrary but its offtopic here
[19:30] <Spodey> Attempting this to see if it solves my issue - http://ubuntuguide.net/ubuntu-10-10-fix-the-screen-messed-up-at-start-up-and-shutdown
[19:31] <shp> windows part was already mounted in /host
[19:31] <shp> nice
[19:31] <ActionParsnip> Iamerror: look into penumbra ;-)
[19:32] <IAmError_> actionparsnip: well my problem is, im finding it hard to use GNU/Linux, when I can't just get on, and use my files. i have to go through the hassle of changing permissions, when im clearly the main user. Is there a way to ALWAYS be in command so I don't have to change permissions?
[19:32] <BluesKaj> IAmError_, perhaps there's a linux equivalent to the app, have you done any research
[19:32] <ActionParsnip> Shp: yeah its one good thing of wubi.  Desktop support ends at the same time for both. Newer kernel may be nicer if your hardware is super
[19:36] <wols_> Sonderblade: sounds like logs
[19:36] <wols_> Sonderblade: check size of /var/log
[19:36] <lafon> What is the req for unity?
[19:36] <RusAlex> hi guys, how can i check my laptop which usb port is 2.0  and which is not ?
[19:37] <ActionParsnip> Shp: once ran, you will be able to access and save files to and from the folder "windows files"
[19:37] <Sonderblade> wols_: no, the whole /var is only 1.9gb
[19:37] <wols_> Sonderblade: mail then?
[19:37] <M1_> Where in /dev is my microphone input?
[19:38] <Sonderblade> wols_: no
[19:38] <ActionParsnip> lafon: unity needs 3D acceleration. You can use unity-2D which does not
[19:38] <nawk> if I replace Unity with Gnome-3 will I break my system?
[19:39] <lafon> RusAlex: this is not really checking but if its between 1 and 8 years old its probably usb 2.0
[19:39] <lafon> thanks ActionParsnip
[19:39] <ubuntufggf> I can't seem to install a wine theme, it just doesn't work. I get the correct theme file, click to install it, but it's not showing up in the dropdown menu. Any suggestions?
[19:39] <ActionParsnip> Nawk: gnome3 isn't stable or advised so most likely yes
[19:39] <lafon> is there any RAM requirement for unity?
[19:39] <ActionParsnip> !requirements
[19:40] <wols_> lafon: only the default ubuntu requirement
[19:40] <ActionParsnip> Lafon: its just a shell ontop of gnome so won't need much more than a normal desktop.
[19:43] <RusAlex> lafon: i have 3 usb ports on my notebook, and one of them is 2.0 - 100%, lsusb show me this info, but i want to recognize which of 3 is 2.0
[19:43] <lafon> ahhh ok
[19:43] <lafon> 'cause i tried it on 1 computer abd i got the gnome desktop
[19:43] <pipegeek> is the jaunty archive still mirrored anywhere?
[19:43] <platius> RusAlex,  I believe the 3.0 usb connectors are blue if you look into them.
[19:43] <ActionParsnip> Jaunty is dead
[19:44] <RusAlex> platius: i don't have any 3.0 usbs
[19:44] <lafon> RusAlex how old is this laptop.
[19:44] <platius> RusAlex,  the connectors on the laptop are blue inside
[19:44] <lafon> or was it a custom install
[19:44] <lafon> build*
[19:45] <RusAlex> platius: are you an artist ?
[19:45] <RusAlex> i don't believe in colors
[19:46] <ActionParsnip> Strange belief
[19:46] <Spodey> RusAlex: Have you tried simply plugging in an SD card reader or something and copying the file to your desktop - try it on all 3 ports and see which give syou the fastest speed?
[19:46] <RusAlex> Spodey: thanks, but i want to do it without checking read and write speed
[19:46] <TheRedOctober> Where can I find the file containing old network interface mac addresses to remove them so new network interfaces are not so hi?  (i want to simplify some network scripts across machines)
[19:47] <afancy_> Hi, i want to do some screen recording (also voice). Could anybody recommend me some recording software? thanks
[19:47] <ActionParsnip> RusAlex: got a manual?
[19:47] <Corey> TheRedOctober: ...what are you talking about? :-)
[19:47] <Spodey> RusAlex: Well, that would be the quickest way of doing it. Unless you are doing this for academic reasons?
[19:47] <Spodey> Physically, those ports could be wired to anything. And in fact, the USB 2.0 might be internal only
[19:47] <llutz> TheRedOctober:do  you mean /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules?
[19:47] <Kr3m1in> Can somebody please quickly explain to me how to change scrolling speed? (Ubuntu 11.04)
[19:47] <ActionParsnip> Afancy: cheese  maybe
[19:48] <Gaming4JC> Hey all, I just installed TightVNC on Ubuntu 10.4LTS. Ran into the keyboard layout bug. I tried setting a fake layout since none was given. and "abfh" was properly insereted as mentioned in this post
[19:48] <Gaming4JC> http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?s=05a4c5a99ca6355fa795897a8aa8fe6c&p=4325837&postcount=9
[19:48] <RA_drc> how do i install gtk or x in ubuntu?
[19:48] <Gaming4JC> sadly, it didn't fix the issue and I'm still at a loss. Also tried setting to US, etc.
[19:48] <Swaraj> wassup
[19:48] <BlouBlou> RA_drc: it comes by default
[19:48] <TheRedOctober> llutz: exactly, thx!
[19:48] <Corey> TheRedOctober: A MAC address is 12 hexadecimal digits that's bound to an interface.
[19:48] <lafon> RusAlex try asking lsusb to be verbose
[19:49] <RusAlex> thanks guys. will try to check with bluray movie
[19:49] <Galvatron> RA_drc: For X, "sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg", and for GTK it depends on which enviroment you want.
[19:49] <Kr3m1in> Can somebody tell me how to change scroll sensitivity/rate on Ubuntu 11.04 Desktop x64? Settings > Mouse doesn't have any interface regarding this.
[19:49] <pipegeek> Are the jaunty repositories still mirrored anywhere publicly, or are they gone?
[19:49] <ActionParsnip> RusAlex: unless you are copying huge amounts of data at a time, it won't make a huge amount of realtime difference
[19:49] <dinkdink> pipegeek: medibuntu has jaunty repos
[19:50] <RA_drc> BlouBlou: i tried running make gconfig and make xconfig and they both gave me errors, they said they can't find gtk+ or qt3, respectively
[19:50] <TheRedOctober> Corey: try a vm with 6 nics, cloning the VMs a few times over, you get to ethXX...i would like to add some logic to my nics, keep them all eth0-5
[19:50] <lafon> @ActionParsnip therefor copying Blu-Ray
[19:50] <RA_drc> Galvatron: how do i know which environment i went?
[19:50] <Pici> pipegeek: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com
[19:50] <afancy_> ActionParsnip: not record by webcam
[19:50] <ActionParsnip> pipegeek: gone gone. 3rd party ppas may have jaunty stuff.
[19:50] <Pici> pipegeek: you really should upgrade though
[19:51] <afancy_> ActionParsnip: i want to record on how to use an application for demo
[19:51] <ActionParsnip> lafon: yeah that'll help. Firewire may be better
[19:51] <pipegeek> Pici: thanks!
[19:51] <ActionParsnip> afancy_: recordmydesktop
[19:51] <pipegeek> and noted :)  this is for a build machien
[19:51] <afancy_> ok, thansk
[19:52] <lafon> is there anyway to set a program for a mass of files?
[19:52] <Galvatron> pipegeek: http://atlanticlinux.ie/blog/?p=143
[19:52] <jrib> lafon: what exactly do you mean?
[19:52] <lafon> ex. FBReader for .epub etc
[19:53] <lafon> obviously i mean more files incl. lit mobi
[19:53] <wols_> lafon: calibre
[19:53] <lafon> i personally don't like calibre
[19:53] <n1xNc0d3> hi, IDLE with Python 3 is crashing on completion! What should i do?
[19:53] <lafon> i am using fbreader
[19:53] <Galvatron> RA_drc: GTK is used in GNOME, XFCE and LXDE, while KDE id QT-based.
[19:53] <Gaming4JC> Ok seriously this keyboard bug is lame. "asdf" appears as "abfh" in TightVNC... :(
[19:53] <koshieFinalReliz> Hi
[19:53] <Galvatron> !GTK
[19:54] <lafon> problem is i installed calibre first
[19:54] <Galvatron> !XFCE | !LXDE
[19:55] <Corey> TheRedOctober: Okay, but that's not a MAC address.
[19:55] <Galvatron> RA_drc: Dont't worry, because GTK will be installed the moment you try installing the first GTK app.;)
[19:59] <lafon> quit lunchtime :D
