[16:24] <module000> _raven: you shouldn't see any DM stuff inside your chroot. this might be easier if you boot rescue mode in a console
[16:24] <_raven> module000, could you guide me a bit? what to do now?
[16:25] <module000> _raven: what is the exact syntax of your grub-install command?
[16:25] <module000> _raven: reboot with a live CD and choose "rescue" from the boot list
[16:25] <_Marcus> I just downloaded a .deb package for Ubuntu, how do I install it?
[16:26] <MonkeyDust> _Marcus  use gdebi
[16:26] <tsimpson> brathbun: #pinguyos (apparently)
[16:26] <_raven> module000, oh i guess something... is it right to install grub to /dev/sda?
[16:26] <_Marcus> [11:26] -beep:#ubuntu- test
[16:26] <_Marcus> What was that?
[16:26] <AfterDeath> _Marcus: Someone being annoying
[16:26] <module000> _raven: yes, your last command should be `grub-install /dev/sda`
[16:26] <quiescens> epaphus: what are you actually trying to do?
[16:26] <LjL> _Marcus: someone sending a channel notice
[16:26] <_Marcus> Oh
[16:26] <mcb_> _Marcus: you can use dpkg -i <file>.deb
[16:27] <_raven> module000, yes i did....
[16:27] <_raven> module000, ok ill reboot
[16:27] <donavan01> does the new desktop manager work faster or slower than gnome?
[16:27] <holstein> _Marcus: refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingSoftware ... or just double click on it :)
[16:27] <quiescens> epaphus: i don't think iostat does what you think it does, or what you want it to do
[16:27] <_Marcus> holstein: I can't double click over command line though
[16:27] <_raven> module000, there is a unetbootin screen which provides no repair option
[16:28] <holstein> donavan01: you can check it out from a live CD... i find it similar, but maybe a little slower feeling
[16:28] <cjs226> running into an issue where omrelp doesn't send all logs to the remote server even though *.* is used.  for example, php errors aren't sent.  any ideas?
[16:28] <MeirD_> Hello
[16:28] <kindkid> I currently have a VM booting (from an iso) and loading up my root partition. I want to get rid of the need for the boot iso, so I can just have a single disk image that's bootable and includes the root partition. How should I tackle this?
[16:28] <module000> _raven: a generic ubuntu live cd should have 'rescue an existing system' as an option
[16:28] <holstein> MeirD_: cool... there are suggestions here and in that link about how to do that :)
[16:28] <rofringe> anyone here using an old nVidia (series 8...) card ?
[16:28] <_raven> module000, will take some time
[16:28] <holstein> _Marcus: ^
[16:28] <mcb_> donavan01: Are you talking about Unity. I did not like it and stayed with Gnome, but it is matter of taste. I cant about perfamce as i disliked it a lot... and used it for a very short time.
[16:28] <MonkeyDust> _Marcus  in the future, please inform us that you wish to work with the CLI
[16:28] <donavan01> holstein I was runnign it in WUBI but I wasnt sure if it was slower or not ... didnt have gnome to compare it too
[16:28] <MeirD_> Is there anyway I can use "ls -l" and print the file permission number (755) instead of "rwxr-xr-x" ?
[16:28] <_Marcus> MonkeyDust: Sorry
[16:29] <superdave321> MeirD_: Hello!!
[16:29] <_raven> what to do then? simply wizard for that special case?
[16:29] <mcb_> _Marcus: use dpkg -i <file_name>.deb
[16:29] <_Marcus> mcb_: Thanks, it worked
[16:29] <mcb_> _Marcus: But keep in mind that the dependancies are up to you!
[16:29] <epaphus> quiescens, hmm. then iam confused? can you please elaborate ? :)
[16:29] <donavan01> mcb_ yeah unity.... I was going to give it a shot and see how it worked and if it really pissed me off I could switch back to gnome but I wanted to know if I was going to kill my speed by using it if so it was gone right now
[16:30] <_Marcus> mcb_: Okay. I was just installing dropbox, and it installed fine.
[16:30] <module000> _raven: you can boot the normal live CD also, but don't use any visual tools to your mount root and /boot. your whole goal is to 1) mount root(and /boot if exists), 2) bind /dev inside it, 3) grub-install /dev/sda
[16:30] <mcb_> _marcus: \You are welcome.
[16:30] <quiescens> epaphus: iostat is just going to give you the average rates over the "active" time of the resource in question (eg. total bytes read / total amount of time the device has been online)
[16:30] <module000> donavan01: if you are tired of unity, install the gnome-developed interface instead (aptitude install gnome-shell)
[16:31] <epaphus> quiescens, ohh! is there anyway i can get the true kbytes/sec being read and write on my hd? real time
[16:31] <_raven> module000, ok what is the mounting cmd for textmode then?
[16:32] <mcb_> donavan01: I dont see why unity or gnome might interfer with each other, you only use one of the at time.... Or do you plan to put it a server?
[16:32] <module000> _raven: cryptsetup luksOpen /your/encrypted/block/device arbitrary_dm_name
[16:32] <somsip> ~
[16:32] <module000> _raven: then you mount your /dev/mapper/arbitrary_dm_name like you would any other disk
[16:32] <MonkeyDust> donavan01  unity = gnome3 with compiz
[16:32] <donavan01> mcd_ nahh its just a laptop
[16:32] <quiescens> epaphus: you might be expecting something more like iotop, or htop with its IO_RATE column enabled
[16:33] <_raven> module000, i tryed that but vgscan gave me nothing!
[16:33] <cloudgeek> happy valientine day my dear ubuntu
[16:33] <saganbyte> Hi
[16:33] <module000> _raven: but it unlocks the block device fine?
[16:33] <mcb_> Doanvan01: And is it a fhresh install? No backup / restore involved? Give it try?
[16:33] <theadmin> cloudgeek: 4 days too early :P
[16:33] <donavan01> monkeyDust   ok so basicaly I can change the compiz to other themes and such to make it do what I want
[16:33] <_raven> module000, graphically yes....
[16:34] <MonkeyDust> donavan01  i guess there's MyUnity, available as PPA, defaukt as of 12.04
[16:34] <MonkeyDust> default*
[16:34] <module000> _raven: and from the command line?
[16:34] <epaphus> quiescens, thanks
[16:34] <donavan01> mcb_ that was kinda my plan I just wanted input from others since the last verision of ubuntu I used was I think 9 something
[16:34] <quiescens> epaphus: note that they will need to be run as root if you want to include data from processes that your user doesn't own
[16:34] <_raven> module000, i am trying at the moment
[16:35] <roasted> question - if I'm going to DD one flash drive to another, what BS size is best to use? 1m? 1024k?
[16:35] <saganbyte> To enable 2 finger scrolling I m using the synclient and passing it attributes like synclient VertTwoFingerScroll=1...  Is there some place I can enter the synclient stuff so that I dont have to run it on startup?
[16:35] <saganbyte> I mean some config file for it
[16:35] <saganbyte> Coz enabling it from the Mouse settings doesnt work for me
[16:36] <module000> roasted: 1M is a pretty safe/fast bet. "best" would be an exact match of the write buffer for the device you are writing to. I would use 1M
[16:36] <roasted> module000: is there a process to find the write buffer for the device?
[16:36] <mcb_> donavan01: OK. I think you should see for yourself. I personaly didn't liked unity. But i didn't try that hard to fine tune the configurations..... So if you have the time and energy. Go for it.
[16:36] <module000> roasted: look up the specs? you could also get some information from `lsusb -vvv`
[16:37] <roasted> module000: it's a generic USB flash drive, otherwise I would just google it. I'll try the lsusb thing tho - thanks!
[16:38] <venluckey> hey, whatssup
[16:38] <donavan01> Ok one last question ... encryption... is it worth encrypting the whole drive? so should I just encrypt my home folder or what or should I even bother?
[16:39] <module000> donavan01: that depends very heavily on what exists on those drives, and how much you want to protect it.
[16:39] <theadmin> donavan01: Don't encrypt unless you know you really need it
[16:39] <pros977> donavan01: I encrypt the whole drive on my laptop. It's easy enough. Just an extra password at boot time.
[16:39] <cloudgeek> donavan01: that help learn real valaue of linux world
[16:39] <_raven> module000, where to mount boot then?
[16:39] <cloudgeek> donavan01: learn that encryption and decryption
[16:39] <module000> _raven: mount /boot inside the root mountpoint. if your root is /mnt/my_root, then you should mount /boot at /mnt/my_root/boot
[16:40] <cloudgeek> donavan01: if need to do your home folder then you need to do whole disk encryption
[16:40] <module000> _raven: that way when you chroot inside /mnt/my_root, your filesystem is arranged the same way it normally would be
[16:40] <venluckey> exit
[16:40] <_raven> module000, i forgot about boot perhaps that is the problem
[16:41] <donavan01> is there a good how to on using truecrypt or soemthing (easier the better) for ubuntu?
[16:42] <module000> donavan01: for individual files, or for encrypted an entire block device?
[16:43] <donavan01> either ... both ... I basically want to keep my files secure as im going to have a good deal of sensitive docs on this laptop
[16:43] <module000> donavan01: encrypt the entire disk then, download ubuntu "alternative installer" CD and choose full disk encryption
[16:43] <module000> donavan01: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download
[16:45] <mint1> how to use mobile phone as modem in ubuntu 11.10. thanx in advance
[16:46] <_raven> module000, at vgchange to activate vgroup i only have swap activated.....
[16:47] <module000> _raven: activate your root also, that way you can mount it
[16:47] <ignerious> hello
[16:47] <MonkeyDust> !mint| mint1
[16:48] <donavan01> module000 ok im confused though ... how do I encrypt the Disk from outside the OS?  and then install the OS I thought that encryption had to happen after the OS was on the disk
[16:48] <ignerious> can any one help me error in gcc compiler
[16:49] <ircnick> is there a third way apart from copying or using livecd to increase wubi installation size
[16:49] <mcb_> MonkeyDust: mint1 is just a nick.... The guy asked about ubuntu 11.10....
[16:49] <mcb_> ignerious: If you tell the problem.... we can see we can help.
[16:49] <module000> donavan01: nono the encryption happens before the OS installs, you enable it during the installatino process
[16:50] <module000> donavan01: then when you boot up, youll get a password prompt to unlock the disk at the beginning of the boot procedure
[16:50] <vitopalumbo> irc://FreeBoaRd.DayOnIRC.Uk.To/
[16:50] <module000> donavan01: this means that if someone swipes your laptop or removes the physical disk , it will be useless to them
[16:50] <djQuery> using the unity interface is there any way to get the File | Edit etc.... menu to be attached to the actual window instead in the upper bar of the screen?
[16:50] <donavan01> the disk will or the laptop?
[16:51] <module000> donavan01: the disk will - that is what you are encrypting.
[16:51] <donavan01> just clarifying
[16:51] <ignerious> i have use pow() function in my code but while compiling it, Showing error"/tmp/ccRMZJXG.o: In function `main':
[16:51] <ignerious> Series1.c:(.text+0x83): undefined reference to `pow'
[16:51] <ignerious> collect2: ld returned 1 exit status"
[16:52] <donavan01> module000 so is it basically a function of the partition format?
[16:52] <tsimpson> ignerious: add "-lm" to the command
[16:52] <module000> donavan01: it's a kernel function, the encryption layer happens transparent to any reads/writes to the disk.
[16:52] <nikolam> How to fix boot problem with grub always selecting Memory test and not booting system? I have alternate CD
[16:52] <ignerious> gcc: error: Series1: No such file or directory
[16:53] <module000> nikolam: pastebin your /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[16:53] <Guest1634> hiiii
[16:53] <yusufaliboz> hi everyone..
[16:54] <___james___> hey, i'm having trouble with my ubuntu 10.04 server.  when i boot it cannot mount a drive (it is non specific and i now have a read-only system) and i quickly see an error mentioning the /tmp directory, can someone point me in the direction of the mount logs so that i can read what these errors are?
[16:54] <mcb_> nikolam: Are you using grub 2 or 1? if it is one you edit it in /boot/grub/menu.lst or you edit it as module000 said.
[16:54] <ignerious> gcc: error: Series1: No such file or directory
[16:54] <tsimpson> ignerious: like "gcc Series1.c -lm"
[16:54] <nikolam> mcb_, it is grub 2, I am on 10.04 LTS
[16:54] <whitelynx> hey... i'm trying to get a minimal system put together using ubuntu core oneiric, and i'm having trouble getting the flash plugin installed... i added universe and multiverse to sources.list and synced, but when i try installing flashplugin-installer, it gives me an HTTP 404 response on flashplugin-downloader (specifically, the file adobe-flashplugin_<IP_ADDRESS>.orig.tar.gz)
[16:55] <whitelynx> i haven't been able to find any info online relating to the download itself getting a 404... only things i've found are where repositories get a 404 when updating, which isn't happening to me
[16:55] <ignerious> yeah i have done it but same thing happen
[16:55] <whitelynx> and other packages have been installing fine
[16:55] <ignerious> gcc -lm Series1 Series1.c
[16:56] <donavan01> module000 not what I mean ... let me see if I can explain what Im asking better... initially the disk will be formatted in something like FAT or whatever lunix uses ... then before the OS is coppied to the Disk the installer will encrypt the whole drive making even the empty space look like junk to anyone trying to snoop... once that is done the OS is installed like normal... then each time them computer boots it will ask for
[16:56] <donavan01>  a password to access the hard drive so that the OS can boot... does that about sum up whats going on or have I misunderstood what I have read?
[16:56] <Lint> how to choose login language in 11.10
[16:56] <mcb_> nikolam: Try editing  "/etc/default/grub" chose "GRUB_DEFAULT=0"
[16:56] <tsimpson> ignerious: no, just "gcc Series1.c -lm", if you want the program file to be "Series1", then run "gcc Series1.c -lm -o Series1"
[16:57] <nikolam> module000, it is hard to do that, since I have no net on that machine. I suppose I should change something in that grub.cfg file and run a command to update
[16:57] <nikolam> mcb_, I see but installgrub from alternate cd is how to update grub?
[16:57] <LukeNukem_> when i try viewing images in browser on localhost, i get forbidden
[16:57] <LukeNukem_> any ideas?
[16:58] <mcb_> nikolam: from upgrading grub you should refer to the grub documentation.
[16:58] <ignerious> Thanks It worked

[16:59] <mjfork> can anyone point me to a guide for installing and running unity following a minimal install
[17:00] <Bubo> my computer freezes for 2-3 sec every 10 sec while downloading torrent/file or streaming a hd video from youtube
[17:00] <Josssse> Hello guys. Is there a way i can install gedit 2 instead of gedit 3? it is incompatible with the latex plugin which i use very often.
[17:01] <Bubo> my computer freezes for 2-3 sec every 10 sec while downloading torrent/file or streaming a hd video from youtube. - can anyone help with this?
[17:01] <Bubo> its really really annoying..
[17:02] <auronandace> mjfork: wouldn't it just simply be sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop?

[17:07] <MonkeyDust> Bubo  have you tried html5 ? http://www.youtube.com/html5
[17:07] <arno> hi
[17:07] <Guido1> Okee, i instaled testdisk and scalpel, but i can't find them back
[17:08] <Guest64923> i have install LMT 12 , and i search to make a link to open /usr/bin/scangearmp /usr/share/scangearmp
[17:08] <Bubo> MonkeyDust: that wont work with my problem while downloading torrents or files
[17:08] <Guest64923> sorry
[17:09] <Guido1> MonkeyDust: okee, i instaled the programs, but i can't find them back. i guees they are terminal programs. is that right? how do i start them
[17:10] <mcb_> Bubo: is your system doing a lot of swaping? How is your memory consumption? Have you checked that?
[17:10] <Bubo> sec
[17:10] <Bubo> how do i check how much swaping its doing ?
[17:11] <Bubo> 1.1GB used from 3.9GB
[17:11] <mcb_> comand "free" will tell you.

[17:16] <thevaliantx> anyone know where i can download PinguyOS 11.04?  Their website is down.
[17:16] <mcb_> Bubo: 17 MB of swaping wouldn't hang the system..... With torrents and youtube, only your web browser hangs, or is it realy all the system, so that you can not even access a terminal? And, yes i think 256 MB of swap little, but normaly i run with swap = 0. So it is not realy an issue..... At least from my point of view.
[17:17] <auronandace> thevaliantx: why not use ubuntu instead?
[17:17] <nikolam> Bubo, it might be hdd problem or update your flash or check what graphics do you use
[17:17] <Bubo> whole system hangs
[17:17] <Bubo> while DLing
[17:17] <Bubo> it isnt flash..
[17:17] <Lint> how to choose login language in 11.10?
[17:17] <Excell> i have check the location of the php.ini but when i edit the file in /etc/php5/apache2/ it has no effect no changes are shown phpinfo()?
[17:17] <Bubo> i DLed a video now, and when it was 90% till the end it freezes and the CPU usage in system monitor were all 4 CPUs over 90%..
[17:17] <jaybutts> probably cpu usage look at top
[17:17] <travis333> hopefully this can be answered and im not the only one seeing this.I keep Chromium locked in the unity launcher and every time I open it it makes a new icon in the launcher, anyone know whats going on to cause that?

[17:18] <Benkinooby2> hi, i'm on a lenovo t43p and watching youtube videos is quite resource consuming.. anything i can do about that?
[17:18] <Bubo> Why would the 4 CPU usage go crazy to 100% while saving? the video.. after 95%..
[17:19] <auronandace> Benkinooby2: nope, thats flash's fault
[17:19] <Excell> anyone ?
[17:19] <Benkinooby2> auronandace,  :(
[17:19] <mcb_> Excell: Have you restarted apache?
[17:20] <Excell> mcb_ yes and also a complete reboot
[17:20] <Benkinooby2> auronandace, what about that HTML5 stuff?
[17:20] <MrChrisDruif> OerHeks; ah, you're also here? =P
[17:20] <auronandace> Benkinooby2: if your vid is available in html5 that would be great, it would indeed be less resource intensive
[17:21] <javierf_> Hi! One question: Is it possible to have /home on a nfts partition? For work reasons, I need to use windows, but I prefer ubuntu on my leasure time. But it would be great to share home partition in both SO. I'm not a purist, so it's not a phylosophical question (I know nfts is not an open source format type), just practical. Thanks!
[17:21] <jaybutts> bubo, it is flash which uses alot of cpu..but you say 'downloading' so I assume you mean you are downloading it and not watching it, what does the iowait look like? sound like it could be a hardware issue, try tunnning down flash and using a mod for your browser that lets you watch flash videos using an external program
[17:21] <mcb_> Excell: You can check if the proprety you are changing is not beening changed twice. If it appears in another line of the file, it will have the second velue it get.
[17:22] <Bubo> jaybutts:
[17:22] <auronandace> javierf_: no, you need a linux filesystem for /home because of file permissions
[17:22] <Bubo> i have dual boot with windows, and no problems there at all
[17:22] <Bubo> the hanging is occuring while wathicng a hd youtube video or downloading ANY file or torrent with bigger speed than 500KB/s
[17:22] <jaybutts> bubo: flash is worse in linux on CPU, what is your CPU?
[17:23] <travis333> anyone know why when Chromium is kept in the Unity launcher and you open it it makes a new icon in the launcher?
[17:23] <Bubo> but im not using flash at all...
[17:23] <javierf_> auronandace, ok, that's very explicative. Thanks. And, is there any way to make ext4 partition more accesible to windows? (just like I access nfts files from ubuntu)
[17:23] <Lunar_Lander> hello
[17:23] <Bubo> all 4 CPUs @30%
[17:23] <mcb_> Bubo: I agree with jaybutts. It may be a hardware issue.
[17:23] <spyvspy> anyone have any lessons learned/metrics on the max amount of rsyncs a server can handle before things start to get hairy?
[17:23] <zorael> How do you force a mime-type cache refresh in GNOME or Unity? update-desktop-database?
[17:23] <Bubo> with running pidgin kvirc firefox transmission (Dling torrent) vlc
[17:23] <Excell> ok i will have a look for that but seems unlikley as i am changeing max_file_upload and max_post_size and neither are changing , when i rename the config file phpinfo() loads with no config file so I am 100% sure its the correct config file unless these values can be changed elseware
[17:24] <auronandace> javierf_: i wouldn't use any 3rd party ext drivers for windows, wouldn't trust them
[17:24] <jaybutts> Bubo: Boot into single user and Run FSCK on your drive
[17:24] <Bubo> if i stop transmission if i stop the torrent (the download) everything goes back to normal
[17:24] <Bubo> and it cant be a hardware problem if i have no problems at all on windows (same pc)
[17:24] <Bubo> I have no idea how to do that
[17:24] <auronandace> javierf_: i use a ntfs storage partition that both OS's can mount
[17:24] <Lunar_Lander> on my Ubuntu PC, that BIOS screen "with the Intel Logo and press DEL to setup" takes quite long. Then I cut the power to the PC, switched the power back on and then the LEDs on my Keyboard lit up and stayed on. Then it didn't recognize the USB WLAN receiver and when I then put in the Knoppix LIVE DVD, it almost hang at "Hardware Abstraction Layer"
[17:24] <Lunar_Lander> something wrong with the hardware then?
[17:24] <Benkinooby2> auronandace,  ok i wll head for that ... also will do some investigations towards unsing minitube or vlc to play vids from youtube
[17:24] <Benkinooby2> auronandace, thank you for your input
[17:25] <Bubo> While DLing i get random freezes (random cpu usage @ 100%)
[17:25] <mcb_> Excell: You should also look if php.ini has any includes statements. If it has you have to look into that files too.
[17:25] <Bubo> i press pause on the torrent everything goes back in a moment
[17:25] <Bubo> goes back to normal*
[17:25] <auronandace> Benkinooby2: no worries :) (good idea to download and watch them too)
[17:25] <mcb_> Excell: And i say that cause it happened to me once...... :)
[17:25] <Benkinooby2> auronandace, using minitube it only requires 27%
[17:26] <jaybutts> Bubo: probably a drive issue or kernel issue, it has to be...try a new kernel long term but first off run fsck on your drive
[17:26] <Benkinooby2> auronandace, usually it's at 50 or more
[17:26] <Excell> ok thanks i am looking at the file now mcb_
[17:26] <Benkinooby2> auronandace, i don't think minitube downloads it...
[17:26] <Bubo> how do i run fsck on my drive? also "try a new kernel long term" - what do you mean by that ?
[17:26] <javierf_> aurona
[17:26] <travis333> anyone know why when Chromium is kept in the Unity launcher and you open it it makes a new icon in the launcher?
[17:26] <Benkinooby2> auronandace, also vlc can stream the vid directly... just enter the youtube url as stream :D
[17:26] <javierf_> auronandace, you mean, you don't have your files in /home partition but in a third one that you use together in windows and ubuntu?
[17:27] <auronandace> javierf_: yes, makes using multiple OS's a whole lot easier
[17:27] <Benkinooby2> auronandace, vlc just has trouble with youtube again :(
[17:27] <fasad> how can i insert Unicode characters while typing in Gedit ?
[17:27] <Bubo> I think i had this problem from the start of installing ubuntu through wubi.. How can I reinstall ubuntu but without losing software and settings ? :\ is it possible?
[17:28] <jacer> javier, while there's nothing wrong with that, using ntfs probably isn't the best idea.
[17:28] <Benkinooby2> javierf_, the only thing you have to think about is the file system... using FAT32 would be the safest because all OS can work with it
[17:28] <hceylan> Bıth xchat and xchat-gnome closes when I close the window
[17:28] <javierf_> Benkinooby2, but, if I will use windows 7 and ubuntu, nfts should be ok, shouldn't it?
[17:28] <hceylan> is there a way to keep it running and use the indicator?
[17:28] <auronandace> Benkinooby2: fat32 has a 4gb max filesize limit, so ntfs is really the only option
[17:29] <Benkinooby2> javierf_, i am not sure how safe it is to use ubunto on ntfs
[17:29] <jacer> the linux driver for NTFS is quirky.  You can read it safely, but every write function has the potential to fubar your system.
[17:29] <jacer> or at least the ntfs partition.
[17:29] <javierf_> auronandace, so, let's say, you have /home partition for some things, like configuration files. But how many Gb should I have there?
[17:29] <Bubo> How can I reinstall ubuntu but without losing software and settings ? :\ is it possible? without formatting the drive
[17:30] <javierf_> Benkinooby2, what's better in Fat32 than ntfs?
[17:30] <auronandace> javierf_: up to you, i don't use a seperate home partition
[17:30] <Benkinooby2> javierf_, that windows and linux can both use it safely
[17:30] <Excell> mcb_ nothing there its basiclly the default config file
[17:30] <auronandace> Benkinooby2: thats true of ntfs too
[17:30] <javierf_> Benkinooby2, ok. Just, I thought it was the same for nfts files
[17:30] <Lunar_Lander> on my Ubuntu PC, that BIOS screen "with the Intel Logo and press DEL to setup" takes quite long. Then I cut the power to the PC, switched the power back on and then the LEDs on my Keyboard lit up and stayed on. Then it didn't recognize the USB WLAN receiver and when I then put in the Knoppix LIVE DVD, it almost hang at "Hardware Abstraction Layer"
[17:31] <jaybutts> Bubo: do this, it will shutdown your computer and do fsck before shutdown (easier) - fsck will check and repair your disc - run this as root: shutdown -rF  ; echo "I don't know about wubi but I herd of performance problems with that"
[17:31] <Benkinooby2> auronandace, afaic ntfs is not safe for linux writing on it
[17:31] <Benkinooby2> !ntfs
[17:31] <Benkinooby2> !ntfs-3g
[17:31] <auronandace> Benkinooby2: ntfs write support has been stable for years
[17:32] <Bubo> jaybutts: so in terminal i should just write shutdown -rF
[17:32] <Bubo> ?
[17:32] <jaybutts> yea
[17:32] <Bubo> and after that ?
[17:32] <Bubo> it will start everything automatically or ?
[17:32] <jaybutts> it will shut down and fix your disc errors
[17:32] <Bubo> ok thanks
[17:32] <Bubo> ill do it now
[17:32] <Benkinooby2> auronandace, ok... i once used it (i admit: was some time ago) and it really messed up stuff... never heard that it is safe to use... but you might be right
[17:32] <javierf_> Benkinooby2, auronandace : ok, i will google it a bit and make conclusions :) Thanks!
[17:32] <mcb_> Excell: And when you see the http page with phpinfo() it still show the old valuel? What are you trying to change? I forgot.....
[17:33] <Bubo> jaybutts: it says Time expected
[17:33] <Benkinooby2> javierf_, the choice i made was to use a linux file system and then install a linux file system driver to windows. because the fs-drivers for linux a re open, the are reliable to use in windows
[17:33] <Bubo> shutdown: time expected
[17:33] <Mike9863> When I connect to a certain ssh server in terminal, the command line doesn't show the directory I'm in and the terminal title still lists it as though I'm connected to my computer.
[17:34] <hceylan> auronandace, FAT32 can hold 2TB, you are confusing it with FAT16 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Allocation_Table#FAT32
[17:34] <Excell> mcb_ upload_max_filesize 100M
[17:34] <Bubo> Also any idea why it would say Authentication failed when i write su and then my password..
[17:34] <rumpe1> hceylan, he meant max file size
[17:35] <Paste> www.paste.co.il
[17:35] <jacer> hceylan: fat32 has a filesize limit of 4gb. The partition can be 2tb, but an individual file cannot excede 4gigs -1 byte
[17:35] <hceylan> ruger3339, uh sorry
[17:35] <jaybutts> bubo: sorry, it just wants you to give a time till shutdown, just do this, shutdown -rF 1
[17:35] <auronandace> hceylan: max file size for fat32 is 4gb, that wikipedia article says that too, the 2tb size is referring to size of partition
[17:35] <hceylan> jacer, got that, sorry
[17:35] <Excell> mcb_ post_max_size 100M
[17:35] <hceylan> auronandace, OK....
[17:35] <CharminTheMoose> Can I compile/install a kernel and update initrd for use with a new kernel and then just move the /lib/modules/<version>, /boot kernel files and initrd to another machine and boot it?
[17:35] <javierf_> Benkinooby2, I'm afraid I didn't understand the whole story. So, you have a driver in windows that let's you read linux file system? I only know a kind of explorer for ext files but it's very unpractical, because you need to save everything to windows hard drive if you want to use it
[17:36] <jacer> Let's say it a few more times.
[17:37] <hceylan> Anyways, does any1 know how to keep xchat / xchat-gnome in the notification area on Unity?
[17:37] <Paste> www.paste.co.il
[17:37] <hceylan> I am on 11.10 with all the updates are applied
[17:38] <mcb_> Excell: I am trying to do same in here. Wait a moment.
[17:38] <pangolin> Paste: Please stop spamming your paste site
[17:38] <Excell> ok no problem mcb_ thanks for helping
[17:38] <Lunar_Lander> OK
[17:38] <Lunar_Lander> where on the Ubuntu site can I find the system requirements?
[17:40] <airtonix> Bubo: if you want to reinstall ubuntu properly (as in not wubi) then no, you will lose everything.
[17:41] <javierf_> Benkinooby2, what is that linyx file system driver for windows you talk about? Does it work with ext4?
[17:41] <Tgirl53> i have ubuntu 11.? the latest type, but i relly dont like it. i want ubuntu 7 back. A friend changed it to 10 and i upgraded it to 11.
[17:41] <riyonuk> How does multiple SSH keys work? Do people just name the id_rsa to something else when they run ssh-keygen? Just trying to understand this.
[17:41] <airtonix> javierf_: wouldn't trust it with data you don't want to loose.
[17:42] <Excell> mcb_ somthing very strange here just tried changing somthing else and its no having any effect it must be getting config fom somewhere else
[17:42] <airtonix> riyonuk: ssh will try the first 6 or 7 of the private keys in ~/.ssh after that if none work, it fails unless your add -o PubKeyAuthentication=no
[17:42] <Benkinooby2> javierf_, i don't know about ext4... it worked for ext2 for me... but i choose ext2 for other reasons
[17:42] <airtonix> riyonuk: you won't know which keys it will try or what order either.
[17:42] <riyonuk> Ahh.
[17:42] <Excell> mcb_ loaded config file /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
[17:42] <riyonuk> so it doesn't matter what they're named?
[17:42] <Bubo> jaybutts: that only restarted my pc, nothing else..
[17:43] <Tgirl53> how do you downgrade comuter also my computer is a mini and has no cd
[17:43] <riyonuk> cause I was just going to name them off the account, instead of id_rsa.pub, work.pub, or school.pub
[17:43] <airtonix> riyonuk: however I usually sidestep this by specifying shortcut host in ~/.ssh/config
[17:43] <xangua> !downgrade | Tgirl53
[17:44] <mcb_> Excell: Iam having the same here. I thouth it maybe my browser cache.... but i look it up from anothe machine..... But i think it is some kind of caching.....
[17:44] <Excell> hmm ok i can check that hold on
[17:44] <airtonix> riyonuk: the .pub is important. and prefixing them with id_rsa reminds you that they are rsa format keys
[17:44] <pangolin> Tgirl53: you will need to do a clean install of the version that worked for you. see /msg ubottu USB for how to install without a CD.
[17:45] <airtonix> riyonuk: they aso come in pairs, a private and a public.
[17:45] <Tgirl53> ???
[17:45] <riyonuk> so I should have id_rsa_github, id_rsa_github.pub, and id_rsa_school, id_rsa_school.pub? :D
[17:45] <airtonix> riyonuk: yes.
[17:46] <Excell> mcb_ not a chaching problem for sure
[17:46] <Tgirl53> where do i do this and how?
[17:46] <xangua> !usb | Tgirl53
[17:46] <airtonix> riyonuk: never store the private keys (ones without .pub) on machines you don't trust/have no control over
[17:46] <riyonuk> right
[17:46] <riyonuk> I just use my macbook for everything though
[17:47] <riyonuk> okay, with that said, ima delete all my keys and do this the right way
[17:47] <rumpe1> airtonix, the .pub keys are the public ones
[17:48] <mcb_> Excell: Are you using the Zend php5?
[17:48] <riyonuk> one more question. what's a good "comment convention"? ssh-keygen -t rsa -C<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[17:48] <riyonuk> cause I assume the email is the comment..
[17:49] <karthick87> Is there any tool in ubuntu to display IP Address in systems wallpaper?
[17:49] <Tgirl53> so do i have to delete Ubuntu11 after i put on ubuntu7
[17:49] <airtonix> rumpe1: yes? I did say that.
[17:49] <xangua> Tgirl53: ubuntu 7.04 and 7.10 are no logner supported
[17:49] <mcb_> Excell: It configures a php.ini file in "/usr/local/zend/lib/etc" I changed there and Voila! It works!
[17:50] <Excell> just install apache2 php and mysql as per the ubuntu help page
[17:50] <Excell> no zend
[17:50] <Tgirl53> any lower than ten
[17:50] <airtonix> riyonuk: depends. remember that the comment can also appear in the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on your various remote hosts ( so you'll want to look at those files a year from now and not have to rack your brains on which public key comes from where or if it's ok to remove it)
[17:50] <Excell> what does your path say for the php inc file
[17:51] <kerryn> i have unity and i installed compiz but when i enable cube its just a flat panel with 2 sides
[17:51] <mcb_> Excell: Give a look in /usr/local/zend/lib and see the is a php.ini there. Else, do a find for php.ini
[17:51] <Lint> why the hell ubuntu replaced my smb.conf file during upgrade?
[17:51] <mcb_> Excell: The path is "/usr/local/zend/lib/etc".....
[17:52] <airtonix> kerryn: obviously you need to create more workspaces/virtual desktops in compizconfig-settings-manager
[17:52] <Excell> no I dont have zend my path /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
[17:52] <kerryn> @airtonix ... how ??
[17:52] <mcb_> Excell: In the "core" section of the phpinfo() page, there is an item: extension_dir: start there.
[17:52] <wisnia> hi all , who knows how to change kde desktop font?
[17:52] <airtonix> kerryn: if you don't have compizconfig-settings-manager, install it: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager, then run it : ccsm
[17:52] <Excell> on mcb_ i look
[17:53] <kerryn> @airtonix i have it
[17:53] <riyonuk> airtonix: Ahh, such a good point! Does it have to be an email?
[17:54] <jonathan__> any ways to send/receive SMS from my laptop to my girl friend android phone?
[17:54] <airtonix> riyonuk: not that i'm aware of.
[17:54] <tsimpson> wisnia: probably in: System Settings -> Application Appearance -> Font
[17:54] <airtonix> jonathan__: be more specific please
[17:54] <riyonuk> airtonix: I think it would be more apparent if I did ssh-keygen -t rsa -C<EMAIL_ADDRESS>GitHub"
[17:55] <airtonix> riyonuk: perhaps, personally i put email-address, user@machine-name
[17:55] <jounc> I don't speak in english.

[17:56] <kraz3d> Ah, thankyou.
[17:56] <mcb_> Excell: In the web page that display phpinfo(), there is an item: "extension_dir", it is in the "CORE" section of the report. It showed the path for me.
[17:56] <airtonix> jonathan__: or do you want to send sms through the internet that will arrive at the phone?

[18:01] <Forbidden_404> My connection works fine, but... when I try to access facebook or twitter, any site like this
[18:01] <Lunar_Lander> auronandace, airtonix thanks again for the suggestion
[18:01] <module000> Lint: what type of upgrade did you do? you should have been prompted to choose new, existing, or manually edit the config file conflicts
[18:01] <mcb_> Excell: Try "locate php.ini" It will show you all the php.ini files that you have on disk. One of then has to be the right one.......
[18:01] <auronandace> Lunar_Lander: no worries :)
[18:01] <Lunar_Lander> I got another question: could I just install Lubuntu over Ubuntu and keep my files?

[18:02] <Lunar_Lander> ah
[18:03] <Forbidden_404> I changed the network-manager for wicd

[18:28] <holstein> Forbidden_404: you could elaborate as to what "i did everything" means... you can try different DNS servers, and also just try pinging things... you want to make sure its not your ISP or router/modem.. try and reduce variables and test
[18:31] <Forbidden_404> I tried differente dns servers, Ping works, because the site works too, I just cant update anything in ther. I configured the router with dsl, just to make the wifi works, it works, but like I said, I cant update things
[18:31] <pangolin> Forbidden_404: you need flash for facebook if i'm not mistaken.
[18:31] <pangolin> !flash
[18:32] <Forbidden_404> I will try this, but I thought that I had
[18:32] <pangolin> Forbidden_404: as for gwibber not accepting your facebook credentials you need to allow it in facebook, as for MSN that is a problem that I don't know about.
[18:33] <Forbidden_404> when I put in the gwibber, opens a windows just to allow in facebook, but stay blank

[18:37] <holstein> pangolin: not sure... i was reading "facebook not loading" ... im sure im reading it incorrectly
[18:38] <pangolin> holstein: you may be correct, the wording is not completely clear to me either
[18:38] <Forbidden_404> Holstein, I tried other dns
[18:38] <Forbidden_404> well, using the google one, make it better, but do not solved my problem
[18:38] <mjfork> has anyone used NX with 11.10? shoudl I stick with VNC? VNC seems sluggish from my windows workstation.
[18:38] <Forbidden_404> <IP_ADDRESS> and <IP_ADDRESS>
[18:38] <holstein> Forbidden_404: better? how?
[18:39] <israel> llutz: im doing it
[18:39] <iceroot> mjfork: vnc and nx is something totally different
[18:39] <iceroot> mjfork: vnc will stream the desktop, nx will use a complete own session
[18:39] <mjfork> iceroot: i just need remote desktop to an ubuntu install
[18:39] <Forbidden_404> Before, the site dont connected
[18:39] <Forbidden_404> later, the site connected, but...
[18:39] <iceroot> mjfork: nx is much faster so if possible use nx
[18:39] <Forbidden_404> I cant use anyway
[18:39] <holstein> Forbidden_404: what about proxy settings?
[18:39] <mjfork> iceroot: thats what i thuoght, i see freenx doesn't appear to be updated.  shuold i try the ones from nomachine?
[18:40] <Forbidden_404> I dont use a proxy
[18:40] <iceroot> mjfork: they are non-free, if possible use freenx
[18:40] <holstein> Forbidden_404: i would try and remove variables and test... try just a browser.. try one app at a time.. use just the modem.. go to a different network... googles search about if your ISP blocks certain things
[18:41] <Forbidden_404> I'll try using just the modem
[18:41] <Forbidden_404> and different network later
[18:41] <Forbidden_404> I dont want to leave Ubuntu, but if I cannot solve these issues... ):
[18:42] <rumpe1> Forbidden_404, if you can't, I'm afraid you have to. :)

[18:43] <holstein> ashutosh: we do not ship with unity, though it should work just fine
[18:43] <ashutosh> yaaa
[18:43] <ashutosh> it didn;t came with unity
[18:44] <ashutosh> xfce was default
[18:44] <ashutosh> boot splash, login evrything is just damn bad
[18:44] <mjfork> iceroot: have you tried x2go?
[18:44] <holstein> ashutosh: correct.. whats the issue? you should be able to either sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop, or just install main ubuntu and install what you like from the ubuntustudio metapackages
[18:45] <Toctiz> why do i get that purple balnk screen after the grub menu
[18:45] <Alessandro_> bhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhyytfffffffffrrrreeextgg
[18:45] <holstein> ashutosh: its not configured at all yet to be exact.. we are working on 12.04 :)
[18:45] <ashutosh> the softs are good
[18:45] <holstein> ashutosh: we literally *just* changed to XFCE
[18:45] <Alessandro_> i'm sorry... wrong window
[18:45] <ashutosh> had to do a lot of repairs
[18:46] <holstein> ashutosh: you can help us at https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users and/or https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel
[18:46] <ashutosh> including boot and login
[18:46] <smoothifier> hi :) ubuntu install freezes after detecting my usb keyboard and mouse, then it attempts to kill the modprobe-ing and enters into a loop.  the same thing happened trying to install mint 12
[18:46] <ashutosh> then it's fine
[18:46] <holstein> ashutosh: theming... not repair
[18:46] <ashutosh> isntalled gnome 3
[18:46] <ashutosh> no it was repair
[18:46] <holstein> it loaded and booted just fine... if you dont like the look and feel, thats "customization" not "repair"
[18:46] <ashutosh> boot splash was a white blurred
[18:46] <ashutosh> screen
[18:47] <holstein> ashutosh: we did not theme at all for 11.10... we are working on 12.04 and you can help if you like
[18:47] <ashutosh> which was damn ugly to see at each reboot
[18:47] <Toctiz> it dont change from purple
[18:47] <holstein> ashutosh: sure.. we *did* *not* theme at all
[18:47] <ashutosh> next login was a pink voilet
[18:47] <ashutosh> but it's fine
[18:48] <ashutosh> i'm working with using gnome 3 and am very happy
[18:48] <holstein> sure... you can always just install main ubuntu and add what you like... otherwise we need contructive critisicm and actual help right now ashutosh
[18:49] <ashutosh> well i'm sorry abt that
[18:49] <holstein> ashutosh: i make no excuses for the 11.10 release, but if you would like to help, we are in need of code contributing supporters
[18:49] <ashutosh> from 2 hours it was driving me nuts
[18:49] <smoothifier> i think i'm having problems with udevd during the install
[18:49] <smoothifier> but i'm not exactly sure what it going on
[18:50] <holstein> ashutosh: gnome2 was pulled, and we were unsure when that was going to happen.. we didnt have the time or team to implement a custom XFCE instance
[18:50] <ashutosh> that's alright
[18:50] <ashutosh> i'm a fan of ubuntu
[18:51] <ashutosh> and have just installed 12.04 on my notebook
[18:51] <ashutosh> ubuntu stud is on my desktop

[18:53] <Jasonn> anyone set up an extra IP on an OVH server ?
[18:53] <ashutosh> system is topped
[18:53] <holstein> ashutosh: i would probably try different kernels and alsa revs as a troubleshooting step
[18:53] <ashutosh> *stopped
[18:53] <ashutosh> hey wait
[18:53] <oCean> ashutosh: the 12.04 system?

[18:59] <holstein> meerkats: you could try restarting alsa.. does it see that something "kills" the sound? a certain application? are you using JACK by chance?
[18:59] <naman> yeah before The email reaches my inbox they read the email then deleted it.
[19:00] <holstein> does it seem*
[19:00] <naman> So i'm trying to secure my emails some how
[19:00] <meerkats> can I make a live cd with a dvd-r?
[19:00] <rumpe1> naman, the inbox on the mail-server? are you the admin of the mail-server?
[19:00] <meerkats> 4.7 gb
[19:00] <naman> yahoo is
[19:00] <rumpe1> naman, maybe somehas has found your password. Change it.
[19:01] <holstein> meerkats: if you have a DVD reader that'll boot it, it'll work...

[19:01] <meerkats> holstein, what if I go with 12.04?
[19:02] <yusufaliboz> hi
[19:02] <naman> Its all the time thats why I just turned to Linux from Windows. Looks like Windows easy to hack emails.
[19:02] <forbidden404> !flash
[19:02] <holstein> meerkats: i would want to see 10.04 personally.. 12.04 is still in 'testing', though it can be helpful when troubleshooting and you want the latest kernel to test with
[19:02] <Viman> naman: it all depends on the user, in the end..
[19:02] <rumpe1> naman, if they "steal" the mails on the mail-server, the only thing you can do is change the password. And it's not ubuntu related. And yes, ubuntu should be much more secure, but if someone has phyiscal access to your pc, you need further measurements.
[19:02] <meerkats> holstein, why 10.04? aint that quite outdated?
[19:02] <Viman> !conky
[19:03] <naman> ITs become very challenging to stop the intrusion and no anti software companies offer support.
[19:03] <holstein> meerkats: its the latest LTS.. long term support.. its still currently supported
[19:03] <cfhowlett> meerkats: 10.04 is LongTernSupport version.  Next LTS will be 12.04

[19:03] <naman> No its not that simple they more suffiscated than that. Most servers are linux based. So Linux is obvisouly the first choice now to try and resolve this issue.
[19:03] <LukeNukem_> how to do this
[19:04] <cfhowlett> LukeNukem_: #ffmpeg
[19:04] <meerkats> aaa...
[19:04] <King_Snake> Hey can anyone help me install .net frameworks into wine? im runnign 10.4 but its the first time ive tried setting up ubuntu
[19:04] <rumpe1> naman, are you really sure they are stolen or are they just moved to a spam folder? That happens sometimes.
[19:04] <King_Snake> i would be really grateful
[19:05] <Viman> LukeNukem: WinFF became buggy lately... try some command line action with ffmpeg

[19:05] <meerkats> im downloading the -iso to my laptop, what programm do I need to burn it into a dvd-r?
[19:06] <ctdabomb> are there any programs for making precompiled binaries?
[19:06] <King_Snake> meerkats: Windows 7 has a defualt burner if youre using that

[19:06] <naman> nope these are suffisticated bastards. They design these systems. And have been on my case for some time. Its not just software hardware too.  Its definitely the software they got. They hack into it and then delete the email been doing so for over 8 years just a year ago i found out what they been upto and how they been getting away with it.
[19:07] <King_Snake> so can anyone help me with my wine .net issue? :D i tried using winetricks but its giving me an error idk how to fix

[19:09] <rubst3r> hello all ubuntu users!
[19:09] <webroasters> hi guys. When I log into my ubuntu server as root, the terminal says something similar to this: root@myserver...:, but when I log in as a user, it just has $, nothing else. What's the deal?
[19:09] <cfhowlett> rubst3r: greetings
[19:09] <cfhowlett> webroasters: normal behavior
[19:09] <oCean> naman: chat is in #ubuntu-offtopic
[19:09] <jaybutts> you should always use ridiculously long and complex passwords for email cause so many companies I have work for just allow their email servers to be bruteforced cause sendmail can't block it without additional software like fail2ban or something
[19:09] <webroasters> can that change?
[19:10] <rubst3r> hello im new to ubuntu and i would like to know what apps are a MUST! ubuntu speaking?
[19:10] <oCean> rubst3r: maybe try #ubuntu-offtopic, this channel is for technical support issues
[19:10] <webroasters> thanks guys
[19:10] <cfhowlett> webroasters: you can customize the cli prompt but IDK the exact commands.  sorry

[19:15] <eldelantero> gracias ;)
[19:17] <meerkats> wasting more of my time: sudo dpkg-reconfigure alsa-source

[19:17] <meerkats> synaptic is off, no other terminals are open
[19:17] <kapz> Hi, can I change the default purple blank screen during boot up to a different colour in ubuntu 11.10?
[19:18] <dz0ny> @meerkats try pulseaudio -k
[19:18] <jaybutts> get an SSD then there is no loadscreen your desktop just appears lol
[19:20] <meerkats> dz0ny, no difference
[19:21] <WarDekar> hey I'm running 10.04LTS with command-line only and am having trouble figuring out how to connect to a PPTP server and route all network traffic through it, does anyone have any good links on how to set it up? there are so many on google and every one i've tried hasn't worked
[19:21] <cfhowlett> !server|wardekar
[19:21] <mongy> kapz, apt-cache search plymouth-theme
[19:22] <mongy> kapz, sudo apt-get install _your_theme_ then sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth and finally sudo update-initramfs -u
[19:22] <kapz> mongy: but I want to chane it completely, even the blank purple scrren before loading ubuntu
[19:22] <WarDekar> cfhowlett: everything i've seen there deals with GUI stuff
[19:23] <kapz> *loading ubuntu logo (animated logo)
[19:24] <mongy> kapz, you  mean grub?
[19:25] <bahodir> how can I get my git repo ssh key into an ubuntu EC2 instance so that I can pull and push from there?
[19:26] <cfhowlett> !git|bahodir
[19:26] <Resistance> bahodir, where did you originally create your git ssh keyks?
[19:26] <Resistance> keys*
[19:26] <kapz> mongy: No, the Purple screen that is loaded before the ubuntu logo shows up on THAT purple screen while booting(where one can press esc to toggle startup messages).
[19:26] <cfhowlett> !keys
[19:26] <bahodir> Resistance, on my local machine
[19:26] <mongy> kapz, yes, grub
[19:26] <Resistance> bahodir, open up Nautilus, set it to Show Hidden Files, go into .ssh/
[19:27] <Resistance> bahodir, copy the id_rsa and id_rsa.pub files from your machine up to your EC2 instance in your user folder for .ssh
[19:27] <Resistance> bahodir, or generate new keys, i've got 5 keys I use for git, one per machine
[19:28] <bahodir> Resistance, i'll probably generate new keys. But I didn't get the part where you said I should copy keys from nautilus to EC2
[19:28] <bahodir> how do I do that?
[19:28] <Resistance> bahodir, i'm unfamiliar with EC2 as a term, is that basically a cloud server type thingy?
[19:28]  * Resistance grabs his googlefu
[19:28] <mongy> kapz, I think you change some stuff in /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme , but be careful.  when finished, sudo update-grub
[19:28] <kapz> mongy: oh! But it stays ther efor a long time(almost half the time)...and my pc has only ubuntu installed so I dont have to choose from grub menu
[19:28] <robertzaccour> how do I connect my laptop screen to my tv with an hdmi?
[19:28] <bahodir> Resistance, yes, amazon instance, to which I can ssh
[19:28] <bahodir> Resistance, can I use ssh to send files?
[19:28] <robertzaccour> I tried plugging it in but all it shows is the wallpaper and nothing else
[19:29] <kapz> mongy: is it still grub? Thanks
[19:29] <Resistance> bahodir, then sftp, with an ftp client or using Nautilus' "Connect ot Server" feature
[19:29] <Resistance> s/ot/to/
[19:29] <bahodir> Resistance, cool thanks
[19:29] <mongy> kapz, I have found that installing cryptsetup (for when I format partitions with encryption) has the side effect of making the ubuntu splash show from start to finish and not just the last 2 seconds.
[19:29] <Resistance> bahodir, for what its worth though you're better off generating a set of keys unique to that EC2 instance
[19:30] <bahodir> Resistance, that makes sense. thanks
[19:30] <kapz> o_0
[19:38] <imfede> hi guys. i have a little problem: i need to connect my laptop to my modem/router without a gui but it seems i'm not skilled enough to do that. can someone help me?
[19:39] <Raikia> is it wireless?
[19:39] <craigbass1976> I'm trying to fsck a drive, and getting "Device or resoruce busy... Filesystem Mounted or opened exclusively by another program?"  I'm running a livecd, and /dev/sda1 isn't mounted anywhere that I can see.
[19:39] <Viman> the network manager should do it, have you tried it?
[19:39] <craigbass1976> imfede, ifconfig
[19:39] <craigbass1976> imfede, any idea what the ip of the router is?
[19:40] <imfede> <IP_ADDRESS>
[19:40] <craigbass1976> imfede, so try sudo ifconfig eth0 <IP_ADDRESS>
[19:40] <imfede> alredy tried (but with wlan0)
[19:40] <craigbass1976> imfede, as long as eth0 is your nic.  You might try just plain ifconfig first and see what's listed
[19:42] <Viman> yea, once my wireless card was configured as eth1 instead of wlan0
[19:42] <imfede> craigbass1976: in ifconfig i have eth1 lo wlan0 wlan0:avahi wmaster0-00
[19:42] <Steevca> Need help with forcing a 1152x864 ressolution in ubuntu 11.10.
[19:42] <imfede> but i'm pretty sure it's wlan0 since i can connect if i start the gui
[19:43] <craigbass1976> imfede, Ahh, wireless...  That's a little different.  Not sure exactly then.  Let me get my drive working and I'll give you a hand if no one else has.
[19:44] <meerkats> how do I know if my machine can support 64bit architecture?
[19:46] <eldelantero> hey, someone has used DraftSight??
[19:46] <imfede> craigbass1976: thank you
[19:47] <Viman> meerkats, I think you need to look up your processor. But pretty much anything after 2006 (Core2Duo release and later) supports 64bit
[19:47] <oCean> meerkats: do a  grep lm /proc/cpuinfo
[19:47] <northernen> I have perhaps a silly question. As I have gathered, xargs is used to pipe standard output to commands that don't accept standard input, such as echo and rm. How do I determine whether or not a command accepts standard input?
[19:47] <mayk> boa tarde
[19:47] <mayk> a tds
[19:47] <DWD> in the terminal try lshw
[19:47] <DWD> and look to the top of the output
[19:48] <Viman> boa tarde!
[19:48] <oCean> meerkats: if that command shows any output, your processor has 'long mode' meaning supports 64bit
[19:48] <mayk> pessoal estou com um problema no o ubuntu 10 e com minha placa de rede rtl 8187se alguem pode me ajudar?
[19:48] <oCean> !br | mayk
[19:49] <mbai> Hi. Is there a separate license for OEMing Ubuntu?...
[19:49] <meerkats> oCean, it shows output
[19:49] <oCean> meerkats: that there is "lm" in that output, meaning it's 64bit
[19:49] <meerkats> oCean, yes, there are 4 lm

[19:54] <mbai> cfhowlett: thanks. would I have to adhere to OEM-ubuntu specific license, or the licenses of the software packages that come with ubuntu, GPL, MIT etc.
[19:54] <cfhowlett> mbai: I don't work for canonical.  Suggest you direct queries to them on the page I referred your to.
[19:54] <KristianDK__> How do I change my keys so that CTRL == Mac/win button?
[20:00] <yuusuke> a
[20:00] <theadmin> KristianDK__: xmodmap -e 'keysym Control_L = Super_L' # That's for the left side, for right replace L with R
[20:01] <KristianDK__> theadmin, thanks, ill try it right away
[20:01] <yuusuke> hallo?
[20:01] <uglyoldbob> hi im trying to change the appearance of my bottom panel
[20:02] <cfhowlett> uglyoldbob: right click, properties...
[20:02] <uglyoldbob> i want the active window to look "pushed away from me" and the inactive windows to look "pushed towards me"
[20:02] <KristianDK__> theadmin, seems to work! How do I make it work every time i boot?
[20:02] <uglyoldbob> i dont see an option to do that
[20:02] <theadmin> KristianDK__: Search for "Startup Applications" in the apps and add the command there
[20:03] <|Anthony|> what controls screen resolution in ubuntu server 10.04
[20:03] <cfhowlett> uglyoldbob: what version of ubuntu??
[20:03] <abys> Hi can somebody give me some info about the omginitialrefs service ?
[20:04] <meerkats> No apport report written because MaxReports is reached already
[20:04] <meerkats>                                                               debconf: DbDriver "config": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process: Resource temporarily unavailable
[20:04] <meerkats> can I force it?
[20:04] <FloodBot1> meerkats: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:04] <uglyoldbob> 10.04 lts
[20:04] <meerkats> the command is sudo apt-get install linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils
[20:04] <KristianDK__> theadmin, oh, it was actually not the case, forgot I manually changed my keys in the terminal - it seems it didnt have any effect. the windows key still does nothing, e.g. WIN+c doesnt copy
[20:05] <cfhowlett> uglyoldbob: System>Preferences>Appearance>Themes>Customize>Window Border
[20:05] <theadmin> KristianDK__: Err... Win+C is not supposed to copy anything. Did you want to do the reverse, i.e. make Windows key act like Ctrl?
[20:05] <sidvee> HC died; cleaning up
[20:05] <KristianDK__> theadmin, basicly I want the mac keybindings in Ubuntu, or as close as I can get
[20:06] <KristianDK__> where CMD does most things like CTRL
[20:06] <theadmin> KristianDK__: No idea what those are, I don't use macs
[20:06] <KristianDK__> theadmin, what would be the winkey in a non mac keyboard is called "command", and it usually acts like CTRL on windows/linux
[20:06] <KristianDK__> I do realise i cannot get the exact same, but copy/paste are essential
[20:07] <rado84> Hi, all. I read on the net that here I could get some help with Totem player.
[20:07] <imfede> i need help with a wireless connection.... can someone help me please?
[20:07] <craigbass1976> So how do I make /dev/sda1 no busy when there's nothign I can see using it?  I need to fsck the partition, and am still getting the error i posted a bit ago
[20:08] <theadmin> KristianDK__: Well just invert the command then: xmodmap -e 'keysym Super_L = Ctrl_L' # It won't work now because they're already the same thing, so you have to log out/back in to reset it
[20:08] <cfhowlett> rado84: ask away
[20:08] <craigbass1976> Preferrably without having to burn a slackware iso...
[20:08] <rado84> Does anyone know how I can make Totem to add subtitle background?
[20:08] <dak0> Hey here is my problem i had Ubuntu 11.10 for a long time then i installed Windows  7 Dual boot
[20:08] <dak0> now i cant boot my Ubuntu
[20:08] <guntbert> craigbass1976: best do it with a live CD
[20:08] <KristianDK__> theadmin, would it be enough to reboot X to make it take effect?
[20:08] <cfhowlett> !grub|dak0
[20:09] <theadmin> KristianDK__: Well, yes.
[20:09] <cfhowlett> dak0: you need to reinstall grub.  Installing win7 wrote over your boot settings
[20:09] <dak0> Fucking windows
[20:09] <KristianDK__> theadmin, awesome, ill press my favorite command then, ctrl alt backspace
[20:09] <KristianDK__> thanks
[20:09] <dak0> Ubuntu dont do this if you install it on windows
[20:09] <Tm_T> dak0: language...
[20:10] <Lint> how to choose login language in 11.10?
[20:11] <craigbass1976> guntbert, I'm runngin a lucid cd, but am raedign that there might be some weird automounting of an ubuntu partition if there's one on the drive.
[20:12] <g105b> any way to resume from suspend to the login screen (pretty) rather than the gnome password dialogue (ugly)?
[20:13] <imbezol> g105b: you'd have to logout, then close the laptop lid
[20:13] <guntbert> craigbass1976: and     mount    doesn't show anything?
[20:13] <craigbass1976> imfede, hunt the net for iwconfig examples; that might be the ticket
[20:13] <meerkats> if I go along and install ubuntu 64bit, will any of the current aps I use be reusable, or will all of them have to be reinstalled?
[20:13] <craigbass1976> guntbert, not dev/sda anything
[20:14] <imbezol> g105b: or go to switch user, then close the lid
[20:14] <guntbert> meerkats: switching to 64bit from 32bit requires a complete reinstall
[20:14] <meerkats> guntbert, but all my data will be kept, wont it?
[20:14] <g105b> imbezol: I have set the closing the lid to "do nothing" - does it still suspend on the login screen?
[20:14] <meerkats> i mean, documents, movies, pictures
[20:14] <guntbert> craigbass1976: hmm ... please !pastebin the output of mount anyway
[20:14] <cfhowlett> meerkats: those aren't apps...
[20:14] <MonkeyDust> meerkats  if you have them on a separate partition
[20:15] <deadmund> How can I test my site works well in IE in linux?
[20:15] <guntbert> meerkats: only if you have them on a separate partition
[20:15] <imbezol> g105b: if it acts as requested i would assume it would do nothing but i'm not overly familiar with that stuff
[20:15] <imbezol> g105b: try it?
[20:15] <imfede> craigbass1976: it seems it's some kind of problem with the dhcp...
[20:15] <theadmin> deadmund: Google "ies4linux"

[20:17] <MonkeyDust> CharlieSu  su (switch user)
[20:17] <CharlieSu> MonkeyDust: I thought there was a better way..  I'm trying to run this as part of a runit job..  I thought there was a command that started with 'ch' that did id..  like a 'chexec' or something
[20:18] <dmouck> hey folks. Has anyone had any experience using Oneiric's gtk netboot?
[20:19] <theadmin> deadmund: Actually, just place thise on your page: <!--[if IE]><script>alert("You need to download a browser to view this website.") ; document.location.href='http://chrome.google.com ;<![endif]-->
[20:20] <deadmund> theadmin: :)

[20:24] <gsr> Hi all.  I've noticed recently that update manager, when it appears after loading gnome, doesn't require a sudo password to update packages.  Is this normal behavior for 11.10 (Gnome 3 Classic)?
[20:24] <Jozi> thats right. can you help
[20:24] <LoganShaw> hey everybody!

[20:28] <dragonfly> Jozi: are you able to share like you want between the windows pcs now?
[20:28] <craigbass1976> guntbert, and the hard drive keeps firing up, so SOMETHING is going on.
[20:28] <guntbert> craigbass1976: have a look into ~/.gvfs     is there anything listed?
[20:28] <trism> gsr: yes, see: http://askubuntu.com/questions/86773/update-manager-password
[20:28] <Jozi> yes. they just  dont pick the ubuntu up
[20:28] <craigbass1976> guntbert, where's ~/ ?  roots, the ubuntu live user?  /home/craig on the drive?
[20:29] <Jozi> and ubuntu pick them all up but unable to share
[20:29] <dragonfly> Jozi: google for samba and ubuntu
[20:29] <guntbert> craigbass1976: the live user, I'm talking about line 18
[20:29] <dragonfly> you need to set-up your samba share
[20:29] <Jozi> cool. will do that
[20:31] <gsr> trism: thanks!  but grrr, I guess I should have counted on Ubuntu putting easyness ahead of security..

[20:32] <e-yns> hi #ubuntu
[20:32] <Companion> e-yns, sssst, ask your question else die in a fire :O
[20:34] <MonkeyDust> dragonfly  next time, better give a useful link instead of saying 'google it'
[20:35] <davidcafe> I just started using ubuntu and have installed the lexmark wireless app.  what is the trick to geting it to run and connnect to my printer
[20:35] <Companion> MonkeyDust, google is for kids try man pages instead :)
[20:35] <guntbert> craigbass1976: "as root"??
[20:35] <Companion> guntbert, never run a program as root
[20:35] <rt_> i have 32 rack servers of intelxeon dual processors 2.8ghz and 2gb ram, 32 gb hard disk with 1 gig eth port and 100Mb eth port suggest me some good method to create a cloud
[20:35] <dragonfly> MonkeyDust: I didn't have a useful link handy and was just trying to help point him in the right direction
[20:35] <guntbert> Companion: I beg your pardon?
[20:35] <Companion> rt_, lots of knowledge of networking and setup
[20:36] <Companion> guntbert, never run a program as root :P
[20:36] <rt_> companion ?
[20:36] <Companion> rt_, seting up a cloud requires monht's and month's of reading and seting it up
[20:36] <dragonfly> Companion: never say never :)
[20:36] <guntbert> Companion: what are you talking about?
[20:36] <Companion> dragonfly, beside pacman -Syu
[20:36] <Companion> guntbert, just as I say
[20:37] <guntbert> !ot | Companion
[20:37] <guntbert> Companion: stop disrupting support
[20:37] <rt_> i have already created cloud using eucalyptus
[20:37] <Companion> guntbert, I am still on topic tho
[20:37] <rtc> hi, I did a system upgrade from a CD... but now a lot of files from /etc etc. are gone... how do I get them back?
[20:37] <OerHeks> !cloud | rt_
[20:37] <Companion> but I can be disturbing tho ;d
[20:37] <rt_> but some how it didnt worked with my hardware
[20:37] <davidcafe> guess there is noone on that knows about the lexmark setup?
[20:37] <guntbert> Companion: you are not, you are disrupting my support talk, stop
[20:38] <Steevca> How can i make a xorg.conf file?
[20:38] <Companion> guntbert, still I was OT :)
[20:38] <Companion> guntbert, but alright
[20:38] <regeya> can anyone recommend a desktop recorder?  I've tried using recordmydesktop but the audio and video are horribly, yet hilariously, out of sync.  I've watched a few youtube videos where people have default desktops, and hilariously enough, just use the default settings and it works.
[20:38] <MonkeyDust> regeya  byzanz
[20:38] <craigbass1976> guntbert, yes root.  On the livecd, I did sudo passwd, set a root password, and don't have to keep typing sudo.  Is that what you meant?
[20:39] <davidcafe> bye
[20:39] <guntbert> craigbass1976: we do not support using the root account, not even on the live CD - don't be too lazy for 5 keys :)
[20:39] <rt_> it was saying when i was about to generate an instance of virtual machine it said ur cpu doesnot support KVM
[20:39] <rt_> is it true?
[20:39] <zykotic10> Steevca: (general hints only) 1) stop Xorg 2) run "X -configure" (possibly requiring sudo), notice where it places the generated xorg.conf 3) copy/rename the xorg from step2 to /etc/X11/xorg.conf 4) restart XOrg to test
[20:39] <OerHeks> rt_, depends on your hardware, yes, could be
[20:39] <rt_> what kind of CPU do i really require to run the cloud softwares
[20:40] <rtc> hi, I did a system upgrade from a CD... but now a lot of files from /etc, /var are gone... how do I get them back?
[20:40] <regeya> erm.  a search shows nothing for byzanz.
[20:41] <zykotic10> Steevca: oh ya, if you happen to be using nvidia propritary driver, it's just "sudo nvidia-xconfig"
[20:41] <john_doe_jr> is there a way to get previous version of chromium on ubuntu?
[20:41] <Steevca> zykotic10:  Nope,it's ATI. :S And i am on open drivers.
[20:41] <rt_> what kind of cpus support kvms in ubuntu oerheks
[20:41] <craigbass1976> guntbert, ok.  Then what do you suppose is going on with the drive?
[20:42] <OerHeks> rt_, i don't know, better ask in ##hardware

[20:44] <smoothifier> hi :) i'm getting a crash during install.  is there some way i can capture the output?  i'm getting the same crash on fedora, ubuntu and mint.
[20:44] <smoothifier> udevd: /sbin/modprobe -bv gets killed signal 9
[20:45] <clouder`grr> in sshd_config can you do a negative Match ie. Match Groups !admin or ^admin ?
[20:45] <rtc> hi, I did a system upgrade from a CD... but now a lot of files from /etc, /var are gone... how do I get them back?
[20:45] <cato_> smoothifier, try to install in graphic safe mode. I have had that problem to when I install on laptops with nvidia optimus
[20:46] <cato_> exit
[20:46] <smoothifier> is that an option on the menu?  i'll check it out, thanks :)
[20:46] <craigbass1976> guntbert, no, but I see the 310gb drivek.  Clicking on it (I just did it and didn't mean to) is oging to eventually give me a "can't mount..." error.
[20:47] <clouder`grr> nm, I found it, just wasn't using the right terms in google search
[20:47] <guntbert> craigbass1976: at the moment I can only suggest you reboot the live CD and don't enable root - the issue *might* be fixed/fixable then

[20:55] <nanobolic> sidb, there is a program called wallch in the ubuntu software centre that will change your wallpaper automatically
[20:55] <nanobolic> you just need to give it a folder with pictures
[20:55] <sidb> But there is problem with that thing
[20:55] <sidb> it is a software
[20:55] <sidb> and i need to have it on
[20:55] <sidb> like forever
[20:56] <sidb> it is not at all a fine replacement for this simple old file
[20:56] <sidb> i was able to modify the file manually...
[20:56] <cfhowlett> sidb: see "desktop drapes"

[21:02] <albawi> hi there , how can i run .ts format files ?
[21:02] <zykotic10> Ashii_: you could try using xfontsel to get the proper -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* line perhaps
[21:02] <Ashii_> zykotic10: atm im trying alot of fonts, and they never seem to appear with that tool
[21:03] <zykotic10> Ashii_: there is some font upgrade cache procedure are you running that?  sorry i don't know it off the top of my head.
[21:03] <Ashii_> its a ttf font
[21:03] <Ashii_> not sure if it matters

[21:13] <sidb> cfhowlett: i guess i will have to wait as there is some problem here with my network card. But will tell you if it worked for me or not..:)
[21:13] <Ashii_> zykotic10: ty ill mess with it more when i got time to restart x to confirm if something else is wrong

[21:53] <Bril> get a hacker lulz
[21:53] <Sagamity> whats ubuntu?
[21:54] <ardrone> hi
[21:54] <ardrone> i hava quick question
[21:54] <Sagamity> what ?
[21:54] <ardrone> i just unboxed my brand new laptop with 1tb harddisk and 8 iSSD
[21:54] <ardrone> what do you suggest for partitions? for fast boot
[21:55] <ardrone> 8 gb iSSD is on it
[21:56] <urlin2u> ardrone, have you installed ubuntu?
[21:56] <ardrone> no i just burned my cd
[21:56] <ardrone> i am gonna install it urlin2u
[21:57] <ardrone> i need some suggest for partitioning cause i only got 8 gb iSSD
[21:57] <ardrone> is it ok if i separe /usr and /home on hdd and rest on iSSD
[21:58] <urlin2u> ardrone, this channel in general is not for 20 questions but specific support questions go to the ubuntu forums and look at the web if you can.
[21:58] <urlin2u> ardrone, as well try #ubuntu-beginners
[21:59] <urlin2u> ardrone, it is not that I don't want to help but these are such basic questions that the info is widely available on the web
[22:00] <ardrone> i am not begginer urlin2u
[22:00] <ardrone> i just need suggestions not how to's
[22:00] <ardrone> i have 8 gb SSD and if you were me what would you do?
[22:00] <urlin2u> ardrone, I believe you but questions like that are very basic.
[22:00] <genii-around> ardrone: I'd use it for /boot and swap
[22:01] <ardrone> genii-around that is what need :)
[22:01] <Star_Light> how can create sites/default/files file?
[22:01] <Star_Light> does anyone know ?
[22:02] <b0ot> If I have my linux box with two connection a: eth b:usb(doing ethernet) and I bridge the two connections could a computer on the same subnet as the bridged connection connected to the linux box via usb be able to ping a host on the end of the ethernet connection?
[22:02] <urlin2u> genii-around, a boot partition is not needed if thats what you mean
[22:03] <genii-around> urlin2u: The idea would be to use the speed of it for fast initial boot, swap, perhaps temp files
[22:04] <urlin2u> genii-around, way more complex then it needs to be, and your opinion.
[22:05] <hder> i am playing with btrfs and it appears to be missing btrfs-scrub.  it sounds like it should exist in v0.19.  any ideas why it is missing in the repos and how to get it?
[22:05] <pooltable> help useing xfce how do i remove the weather thing at the top thanks?
[22:06] <urlin2u> pooltable, turn it off in startup applications probably to start with and or remove the app.
[22:08] <BillyJoe> Where can I find a list of what mono version is pre-installed on the different ubuntu versions? I would like a list of pre-installed mono versions, not a list about versions available in the repositories.
[22:09] <tony_> I got a weird problem with my lubuntu installation. When I turn on my laptop(dell inspirion 1100)  and it  boots the screen appears all distorted. Yet, when I bring up the grub menu and select the first boot option the screen appears just fine. Am just wondering why
[22:09] <pooltable> urlin2u thansk
[22:10] <urlin2u> BillyJoe, I see very little on the web about this may be hard to get a straight answer, just saying.
[22:11] <urlin2u> quickly that us
[22:18] <rtc> I did a system upgrade from a CD... but now a lot of files from /etc, /var are gone... where does the installer store the backup copyies?
[22:20] <jschall> how do i disable a service? update-rc.d doesn't seem to do it. trying to keep ssh, apache and mysql from starting on startup
[22:20] <vlyalcin> hii, where ubuntu  gets user pictures informations in user manager? how decides for which users have which picture?
[22:20] <zykotic10> BillyJoe: what is the main mono package name?  For this example I use mono-runtime, you could use the bot to find what version came in each release "!info mono-runtime lucid" shows the version in Lucid, just change the version to the ones you are interested in.  PS. not in the channel ;)
[22:21] <urlin2u> tony_, you have the correct graphic drivers installed?
[22:22] <zykotic10> BillyJoe: PPS mono suck ;)
[22:22] <urlin2u> zykotic10, no soup for you. :)
[22:23] <MrKeuner> hello, how to mount a usb disk from terminal?
[22:23] <zykotic10> MrKeuner: example "sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt"

[22:25] <benhelps> Any all. Anyone know much about getting wifi working on a cli only Ubuntu?
[22:26] <benhelps> *hey all
[22:26] <zykotic10> benhelps: i actually use wicd-curses on my eee (note network-manager requires either gdm/kdm to connect wirelessly even using the cli versions)
[22:27] <BillyJoe> zykotic10, thanks! Ubottu sais "...In component main, is optional. Version 2.10.5-1 (oneiric) ...". How do I see if it is installed or just available in the repo?
[22:28] <acicula> ps ufax
[22:28] <zykotic10> BillyJoe: "apt-cache policy foo" replace foo with package name
[22:28] <benhelps> Zykotic10:ok will try installing
[22:28] <cfhowlett> benhelps: details plz
[22:29] <urlin2u> !pm |.I don't do PM's tony_
[22:29] <zykotic10> benhelps: that's just for wireless management BTW.  Hardware / drivers is a separate issue.
[22:29] <benhelps> Cfhowlett: Inspiron 1501, atheros wifi, ubuntu server 10.04 from memory, no X
[22:29] <benhelps> Lspci lshw etc don't list the wifi hw at mo
[22:29] <tony_> the only way i can get a desktop is by pulling up the grub menu and selecting the first option it boots up to a normal login screen yet if i let it boot by itself the login screen is all distorted
[22:30] <BillyJoe> zykotic10 ok, I guess the bot doesn't know? I would need to install the ubuntu versions to find out?
[22:30] <Afdal> I need some serious help
[22:30] <zykotic10> BillyJoe: oh sorry, i was giving you command line instructions.
[22:30] <cfhowlett> !ask|Afdal:
[22:30] <zykotic10> BillyJoe: if it says option, it's not installed by default
[22:30] <Afdal> I managed to get grub installed on my RAID0 dual drives
[22:31] <Afdal> But it won't actually load Xubuntu
[22:31] <urlin2u> tony_, you perchance install a bootmanager, is the one you choose at the top of the grub menu?
[22:31] <Afdal> It just loads this BusyBox built-in shel
[22:31] <BillyJoe> zykotic10 Okay I see, thanks for helping
[22:31] <Afdal> Furthermore, now I can't access my Windows XP boot and all my important files

[22:33] <rymate1234> and ctrl + right
[22:33] <rymate1234> is there anyway to turn this off?

[22:35] <urlin2u> will
[22:35] <zykotic10> rymate1234: background question - is it really CTRL+left/right, or ALT+left/right?  Are we talking VirtualTerminals (ctrl+alt+f1->f6) here?
[22:36] <rymate1234> ye its alt
[22:36] <rymate1234> aorry for any confusion
[22:36] <rymate1234> talking about th ttys
[22:36] <rymate1234> so yea ctrl+alt+f1->f6

[22:38] <Afdal> Why can't GRUB into hardware RAID?
[22:38] <Afdal> What's so damn complicated about it?
[22:40] <Canadian1296> What's the lightest desktop environment to install on a cli Ubuntu 11.10 alternate insall? I don't want all the associated GUI programs (firefox, etc), just the desktop.
[22:41] <zykotic10> Canadian1296: do you need a DE?  ANY of the windows managers would be much lighter.  Good luck.
[22:41] <zykotic10> Canadian1296: lxde is lightest DE i'm aware of
[22:41] <Canadian1296> zykotic10: A DE? Sorry I'm fairly new at linux.
[22:42] <zykotic10> Canadian1296: DE Desktop Environment
[22:43] <scienceNinjaEarl> touching my pad or moving my mouse on my laptop makes X server crash and moves me back to the log in screen everytime
[22:43] <Ahoalton> its telling me I need to enable restricted drivers
[22:43] <Ahoalton> how do I do it
[22:43] <DinoMuffin> scienceNinjaEarl: can you post your Xorg log?
[22:44] <scienceNinjaEarl> sure but where? not in the here right?
[22:44] <Canadian1296> zykotic10: Okay, basically I want something similar to just installing ubuntu desktop, but without all the extra programs, and as lightweight as possible.
[22:44] <DinoMuffin> no, pastebin
[22:44] <CharminTheMoose_> How can I compile the kernel and rename it during the compile, i.e so it changes from vmlinuz-version to Sandbox-version?
[22:44] <urlin2u> Ahoalton, pastebin the process leading to that.
[22:44] <DinoMuffin> otherwise the floodbots will get you
[22:44] <zykotic10> rymate1234: i gave up looking for a method to disable alt+arrow (config of VTs seem very limited).  Best of luck.
[22:44] <Canadian1296> Visual appeal doesn't matter.
[22:44] <cfhowlett> !mini|Canadian1296
[22:44] <Ahoalton> new install urlin2u
[22:44] <Ahoalton> nothing to pastebin
[22:44] <scienceNinjaEarl> k one sec
[22:45] <urlin2u> Ahoalton, okay what is telling yhou you need restricted drivers do you see where I'm going here.
[22:45] <Ahoalton> it popped up in the upper right hand
[22:45] <BillyJoe> zykotic10, by the way, why do you think mono sucks?
[22:45] <Ahoalton> and said to in crease efficiency I need to enable them urlin2u
[22:46] <zykotic10> Canadian1296: choose whichever DE you want to use and install it's package directly, avoid the big meta packages *-desktop (ubuntu-desktop, kubuntu-desktop, lubuntu-desktop, etc)
[22:46] <Canadian1296> cfhowlett: I already have Ubuntu installed from the alternate cd (i chose command line only before installing).   I have a box that keeps becoming unresponsive via ssh, but it appears it is still running while unresponsive because there are logs for the entire time it is "down"
[22:46] <BillyJoe> zykotic10, ok
[22:46] <Canadian1296> zykotic chhowlett: Okay I'll install lxde. Thanks for your help :)
[22:47] <urlin2u> Ahoalton, this ubuntu?
[22:47] <Ahoalton> doing update now maybe that will fix it
[22:47] <zykotic10> !tab > Canadian1296
[22:47] <Ahoalton> yeah  11.10
[22:47] <DinoMuffin> pegler: does it happen while you're using it, or after you've left it alone for a while?
[22:47] <urlin2u> Ahoalton, cool hopefully tat will do it. :)
[22:47] <urlin2u> that*
[22:47] <Ahoalton> I hope so
[22:47] <Canadian1296> zykotic10: Thanks :)
[22:47] <pegler> DinoMuffin: it's setup as a server, so it's possible it's after a while where no one has logged in
[22:48] <DinoMuffin> pegler: ssh likes to timeout connections that idle for too long
[22:48] <DinoMuffin> so you'll end up with a broken pipe
[22:48] <DinoMuffin> if you ssh back into the box, does it continue to work?
[22:48] <pegler> DinoMuffin: nope, I am unable to ping or SSH in.
[22:49] <DinoMuffin> pegler: oh, so it just dies all together
[22:49] <pegler> yea
[22:49] <scienceNinjaEarl> my x.0.log http://pastebin.com/t2YxJVui
[22:49] <hayer> how can I give www-data to use the command line function "hddtemp /dev/sd*"?
[22:49] <DinoMuffin> pegler: any messages in your dmesg or syslog?
[22:49] <DinoMuffin> from the server?
[22:50] <pegler> DinoMuffin: so that's why I'm here.  I don't see anything too unusual in the logs, but I don't have too much experience, so I don't know what I'm looking for.
[22:50] <DinoMuffin> you're using ubuntu server, correct?
[22:50] <pegler> I can post those logs if you have a minute to look at them
[22:50] <zykotic10> pegler: if your using terminal applications across ssh, check out screen ( aka gnuscreen) - it will keep things going after logout/disconnects - it's got TONS of other features as well.
[22:51] <zykotic10> pegler: oh sorry, never mind me.  differnt issue
[22:51] <DinoMuffin> zykotic10: his server's NIC or ip stack is going dead
[22:51] <zykotic10> DinoMuffin: ya - my bad
[22:51] <pegler> DinoMuffin: 10.04 server
[22:51] <Canadian1296> Another question. Ubuntu 11.10 installed (from alternate cd, cli only) in Virtualbox. I start the machine and see the Ubuntu …. Loading sequence, but then it says "mountall: Disconnected from Plymouth" I can switch to tty2 (with control alt f2) and log in, but why is it doing that?
[22:52] <DinoMuffin> pegler: what do you normally do to get it working again?
[22:52] <urlin2u> !pm > I don't do PM's JiggyBlkMn,
[22:52] <Ahoalton> urlin2u its the graphics drivers I found
[22:52] <DinoMuffin> urlin2u: he's a spammer
[22:52] <Ahoalton> but it won't let me activate them, gives me an error
[22:52] <pegler> DinoMuffin: cycle the power
[22:53] <urlin2u> !pm | I don't do Pm's JiggyBlkMn
[22:53] <meerkats> has any of you bought this HDD? http://www.reevoo.com/p/samung-hx-mtd10ea-g22-1tb Im worried about the lack of linux compatibility, is that an issue at all?
[22:53] <smoothifier> how do you get to a low graphics install of ubuntu?  do i need to run the alternate installation cd?
[22:53] <DinoMuffin> pegler: ok, yeah if you could post your last dmesg for the server tha'd probably help
[22:53] <acicula> smoothifier: the alternate installer ist textbased
[22:53] <smoothifier> but otherwise the same?
[22:53] <pegler> DinoMuffin: ok, will do.  one second.
[22:53] <urlin2u> JiggyBlkMn, nor do I read them when sent.
[22:54] <acicula> smoothifier: yup
[22:54] <Canadian1296> smoothifier: you can use the alternate cd, but before hitting Install, press F4 and choose the command line only option. Then install
[22:54] <smoothifier> excellent, thanks acicula and Canadian1296
[22:54] <urlin2u> DinoMuffin, cool with url exposed time for a DOS JiggyBlkMn
[22:55] <Canadian1296> smoothifier: No problem :)
[22:55] <pegler> DinoMuffin: http://pastebin.com/FHGTiLSD - should be the last 4 dmesg logs
[22:56] <Canadian1296> Any ideas for the "mountall: Disconnected from Plymouth" issue I'm having?
[22:56] <smoothifier> ok will get on that after dinner.  time for a sandwich.
[22:56] <urlin2u> DinoMuffin, I didn't read mine if you still have your send it to #ubuntu-ops
[22:56] <urlin2u> yours*
[22:56] <rymate1234> back
[22:56] <rymate1234> anyone answer my issue? :)
[22:57] <DinoMuffin> urlin2u: i closed it as soon as i got it :/
[22:57] <DinoMuffin> it had some racist remarks in it
[22:57] <DinoMuffin> stopped reading after that
[22:57] <urlin2u> DinoMuffin, with a nic like that I suspected so.
[22:58] <Guest92817> Hey
[22:58] <meerkats> has any of you bought this HDD? http://www.reevoo.com/p/samung-hx-why cant I join @@linux?mtd10ea-g22-1tb Im worried about the lack of linux compatibility, is that an issue at all?
[22:58] <meerkats> crap
[22:58] <Lint> how to choose the login language in 11.10?
[22:58] <FloodBot1> meerkats: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:58] <meerkats> why cant I join ##linux?
[22:59] <cfhowlett> meerkats: ask them...
[22:59] <Guest92817> I am here, pulling out my hair. Has anyone successfully setup software raid when installing ubuntu?
[22:59] <urlin2u> meerkats, you have to be a freenode member
[22:59] <randomnewb> meerkats: see http://linuxassist.net/irc
[23:00] <urlin2u> meerkats, registerd at least is what I meant.
[23:00] <DinoMuffin> pegler: well, i'm not seeing anything unusual
[23:00] <Guest92817> I tried to install software raid when install ubuntu but then the GRUB install failed
[23:01] <scienceNinjaBob> My mouse and touchpad made x server crash here's a direct to the log file http://pastebin.com/t2YxJVui
[23:01] <DinoMuffin> except
[23:01] <DinoMuffin> pegler: is the box responsive at all? or are you just hard resetting?
[23:01] <pegler> DinoMuffin: I only try ssh and ping, nothing local.
[23:02] <gogeta> pegler: ctrl alt f1 should drop you to bash if x is simply crashed
[23:02] <Harold> hi eeverybody! My  Asus EEE-PC shows the message: "(initramfs)". What am I supposed to do?
[23:03] <gogeta> Harold: do what?
[23:03] <Wargasm> I love my Asus EEE-PC
[23:03] <zaksoldier> Hi
[23:03] <pegler> DinoMuffin: in my syslog there are entries for the entire time it is down, so what yo said before about it being a network issue is what I suspect.
[23:03] <zaksoldier> !u
[23:03] <Harold> i want to make it work again so what am i gonna do to make it happen?
[23:03] <i42n> Harold: What does not work?
[23:03] <gogeta> Harold: i do not understand the problem
[23:03] <pegler> gogeta: it's a remote box, and is becoming unresponsive via ssh.
[23:04] <DinoMuffin> pegler: it seems like it to me, like your NIC or IP stack is unstable
[23:04] <Harold> when i boot there are a couple of messages and then i'm in a console where theres initramfs at the left bottom
[23:04] <trasier> hi!
[23:05] <gogeta> Harold: initramfs is saying its loading the kernel into ram is it sticking there?
[23:05] <pegler> so there's a possibility that someone else is using the static IP assigned to the box from time to time.  I can't track down who it is, but sometimes the box responds to pings, but not ssh, making me think it's not my box.
[23:05] <DinoMuffin> pegler: normally, there would be log entries about losing the signal
[23:05] <pegler> that only happened once though
[23:06] <Harold> Target filesystem soesn't have /sbin/init. ; no init found. try passing init = bootarg
[23:06] <Harold> thats the message
[23:06] <acicula> pegler: if that happens arp should be able to tell you that
[23:06] <gogeta> Harold: thats bad seems like you smoked the fs
[23:06] <Harold> what is the fs?
[23:06] <Wargasm> file system?
[23:07] <gogeta> Harold: filesystem you can try to boot recovery and reinstall the kernel might get it back
[23:07] <Harold> ok and how can i do thath?
[23:07] <i42n> might
[23:07] <gogeta> Harold: press escape when grub pops up you have to be quick with it
[23:07] <gogeta> Harold: being thats the same hotkey for boot slect
[23:08] <DinoMuffin> pegler: would you mind posting your syslog?
[23:08] <Harold> ok what then?
[23:08] <pegler> sure, one second
[23:08] <DinoMuffin> or at least a 'grep "eth" syslog'?
[23:08] <gogeta> 'haroso passed the splash screen then hit esc and the grub menu should apper you can pass options and slect failsafe mode
[23:09] <gogeta> Harold: passes the eepc splash not ubuntu
[23:09] <gogeta> Harold: to soon you will get boot menu to late it will just boot like normal its a bit of a pain
[23:10] <Harold> im in that failsafe mode but its the same thing as the normal mode
[23:10] <gogeta> Harold: same error?
[23:10] <Harold> jupp
[23:10] <i42n> failsave can not work without kernel in ram
[23:10] <meerkats> I have been told by a local hardware provider that 1tb hdd from this company (Samsung) are unstable, may I ask how many of you have 1TB external HD?
[23:10] <pegler> DinoMuffin: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=pL9bQ3EB
[23:11] <gogeta> Harold: i think you might have to just reinsall hate to say that but if you cant get to at least recovery its kinda the only option
[23:11] <Harold> i already tried to reinstall ubuntu but it doesnt continue, the error message, is something like: unable to open svda ord sda
[23:11] <rhizmoe_> well that was weird
[23:11] <Firebolt> I had my computer connected via HDMI to my TV, and I just disconnected it -- however, it now thinks that my only audio output device is my HDMI port
[23:11] <gogeta> Harold: :( id your sssd failing
[23:11] <gogeta> is
[23:12] <Harold> and that means?
[23:12] <pegler> DinoMuffin: There's a network down/up/down/up on Feb 5, which seems to be about the last time it was up
[23:12] <Harold> everything is fucked?
[23:12] <gogeta> Harold: are you trying to use btrfs
[23:12] <gogeta> Harold: that failes
[23:12] <i42n> harold: your hdd is fucked up
[23:12] <hydrox24> Harold: can you watch the language please? family friendly channel
[23:12] <hydrox24> i42n: you too
[23:12] <Harold> oh for sure
[23:12] <Harold> sorry
[23:12] <DinoMuffin> pegler: hm
[23:12] <Harold> the message is: unable to open /dev/sda
[23:13] <gogeta> Harold: thats the issue btrfs is broken on 11.10 use ext2 it should work fine
[23:13] <hydrox24> !language | Harold
[23:13] <hydrox24> !language | i42n
[23:13] <Firebolt> anyone?
[23:13] <hydrox24> Firebolt: I am assuming that you're using the pulseaudio volume control?
[23:13] <scienceNinjaBob> My mouse and touchpad makes x server crash every time i use it.  here's a direct to the log file http://pastebin.com/t2YxJVui
[23:14] <pegler> "Daddy, I was hanging out in the #Ubuntu channel and someone said a bad word."  ha.  I am completely for keeping it professional, but describing this as "family-friendly" made me laugh.
[23:14] <Firebolt> Yeah, that's installed
[23:14] <Harold> how can i use ext2?
[23:14] <gogeta> Harold: btrfs thinks your drive is always full causing the install to fail
[23:14] <Harold> and what is it?
[23:14] <hydrox24> Firebolt: how do you know it can only see HDMI audio output?
[23:14] <pegler> DinoMuffin: would upgrading to a newer distro help, you think?
[23:14] <Harold> and btrfs?
[23:14] <Firebolt> hydrox24, it's not showing it in the dropdown menus
[23:15] <Canadian1296> pegler: "Family friendly" may sound funny, but I know kids as young as 13 who frequent this channel for help.
[23:15] <damo22> Harold: ext2 is a different filesystem type that doesnt use lots of writes
[23:15] <gogeta> Harold: on partating slect advanced or maunal and in the menu slect ext2 rather then btrfs
[23:15] <hydrox24> Firebolt: OK, what version of ubuntu are you using?
[23:15] <Aethrs> I'm trying to create a virtual host under apache2, but even though I add and enable a site it just goes to the 000-default site all the time.  Can anyone tell me why this might happen?
[23:15] <Firebolt> 11.10
[23:15] <DinoMuffin> pegler: lemme ask, do you have any other computers that you can access on that network?
[23:15] <DinoMuffin> pegler: or do any other computers have networking issues?
[23:15] <hydrox24> Firebolt: OK, go to the "sound settings" option under the sound notification icon
[23:15] <gogeta> Harold: if your drives ssd slect 1 single partation with no swap
[23:16] <pegler> DinoMuffin: as far as I know, that is the only one.  The box is not behind a NAT, it has a public IP.  It's on a university campus that has more IPs than they know what to do with.
[23:16] <Harold> ok ok , so what do i have to do or how can i do it?
[23:16] <Firebolt> hydrox24, nothing there either -- output only shows HDMI
[23:16] <Lofde_> i installed a roswell esata pci-x card into ubuntu machine how can i see that its working
[23:17] <gogeta> Harold: i thought you installed it before
[23:17] <Lofde_> i dont have any drives connected to it.. but is there a way to make sure ubuntu is detecting it
[23:17] <damo22> Lofde_: lspci
[23:17] <DinoMuffin> pegler: ok. It made me wonder if there was an issue with their network equiptment. or some conflict between the NIC and the switch
[23:17] <DinoMuffin> or router
[23:17] <hydrox24> Firebolt: is there anything other than HDMI under hardware?
[23:17] <gogeta> Harold: on the partating screen simply slect something else thats advanced
[23:17] <Firebolt> oh, yeah
[23:17] <DinoMuffin> bad switch ports are known to do things like that
[23:17] <Lofde_> 03:00.0 SATA controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88SE9123 PCIe SATA 6.0 Gb/s controller (rev 11)
[23:17] <Firebolt> ty hydrox24
[23:17] <Firebolt> forgot that tab existed
[23:18] <Lofde_> thanks damo22
[23:18] <pegler> as far as I know, the network gear is working correctly.
[23:18] <damo22> Lofde_: now do lspci -nnvv
[23:18] <hydrox24> Firebolt: awesome, so it worked?
[23:18] <Harold> and i do that in grub right?
[23:18] <damo22> Lofde_: and check at the bottom of it that its loaded a kernel module
[23:19] <hydrox24> Can someone help me with using ffmpeg to convert a V4L2 stream into a file?
[23:19] <hydrox24> I just don't know where to start
[23:19] <DinoMuffin> pegler: do you know if the NIC is connecting in full or half duplex?
[23:19] <Lofde_> damo22 Kernel driver in use: ahci	Kernel modules: ahci
[23:19] <cfhowlett> hydrox24: pretty sure that vlc can capture and save a stream...
[23:19] <scienceNinjaBob> My mouse and touchpad makes x server crash every time i use it.  here's a direct to the log file http://pastebin.com/t2YxJVui
[23:19] <DinoMuffin> another thing bad switch ports could do
[23:19] <damo22> Lofde_: now do dmesg|grep ahci
[23:20] <cfhowlett> hydrox24: also ask @ #ubuntustudio #ffmpeg
[23:20] <hydrox24> cfhowlett: Thanks, I have used VLC and can watch the stream easily, I am simply interested in getting it to work with ffmpeg
[23:20] <hydrox24> cfhowlett: thanks, will do
[23:20] <damo22> Lofde_: but dont paste the output here
[23:20] <copacetic> I'm running 10.04LTS as a server, right now I have apache 2.2.14 installed, but I need 2.2.15+  ,  what would be the best way to install a more recent version of apache?
[23:20] <damo22> Lofde_: put it in a pastebin
[23:20] <pegler> DinoMuffin: I don't know.  I googled and just tried with mii-tool and dmesg | grep -i duplex and didn't find out.
[23:20] <pegler> mii-tool actually errored out
[23:20] <Aiutooooo> helloo
[23:21] <pegler> SIOCGMIIPHY on 'eth0' failed: Operation not supported  no MII interfaces found
[23:21] <hydrox24> Aiutooooo: Helloooo
[23:21] <Lofde_> damo22 http://pastebin.com/H5wyEQ7H
[23:21] <Aiutooooo> i have some problems after the installation of compiz fusion
[23:21] <Harold> ^^ omg there's a linux version for kids called "sugar on a stick", that's the most pedophile stuff i ever heard
[23:22] <vjacob> hello all. can anyone give me a few points on what the best method is to take a file that has a package name on each line as well as the word 'installed and then: remove the 'install' word, delete line shifts and separate package names by a space only and save it to a new file?
[23:22] <damo22> Lofde_: yup looks good
[23:22] <scienceNinjaBob> What the next step? it's kinda annoying having to navigate with keys only
[23:22] <DinoMuffin> pegler: did you run mii-tool as root?
[23:22] <pegler> yea
[23:22] <schurl> hello! im new to ubuntu and i have a problem. one of my internal hdds is called .medion, so its hidden, i already made a mount point at /media but how can i rename the hdd so it always shows up?
[23:22] <DinoMuffin> hmz
[23:22] <Lofde_> ok sweet
[23:22] <hydrox24> Aiutooooo: just specify the issues, if someone can help, they will
[23:22] <damo22> Lofde_: your main board sata has 6 ports
[23:22] <damo22> Lofde_: now you have 14 ports
[23:23] <hydrox24> schurl: what version of ubuntu are you using?
[23:23] <schurl> the newest 11.10
[23:23] <DinoMuffin> pegler: now THAT is odd, I don't know why mii-tool wouldn't e reporting the link status
[23:23] <Lofde_> ehh its weird because it only has 1 internal port.. and 1 esata port.. (on the card) but correct i do have 6 sata ports on the motherboard dell xps 410
[23:23] <i42n> vjacob: checkout the tool sed
[23:24] <hydrox24> schurl: sorry, was trying to type scienceNinjaBob name
[23:24] <vjacob> i42n: thanks
[23:24] <schurl> k
[23:24] <Lofde_> ubuntu + ssd = <3
[23:24] <Aiutooooo> it all disappeared... menu bar and even the pointer... the only thing i can do is open (and only open) the folders and move files... but it don't work... i can't move the windows and i can't close it... i can't open the terminal
[23:24] <DinoMuffin> pegler: does it output anything at all?
[23:24] <Harold> does gentoo run on an eee-pc?
[23:24] <damo22> Lofde_: which fs are you using on the ssd?
[23:24] <Harold> i mean properly
[23:24] <Lofde_> ext4
[23:24] <hydrox24> schurl: use "gparted" (Graphical program) to rename the HDD
[23:24] <damo22> Lofde_: not good
[23:24] <pegler> DinoMuffin: just the error I posted.  SIOCGMIIPHY on 'eth0' failed: Operation not supported     no MII interfaces found
[23:24] <scienceNinjaBob> my version? 12.04 with unity-2d it always worked stopped working after a reboot
[23:24] <Harold> alright thank you
[23:25] <randomnewb> Isn't ext2 better for ssd?
[23:25] <schurl> hydrox24: thanks i will try it
[23:25] <hydrox24> schurl: is it isn't installed then you can do so via your favourite method. just shout if you need help installing
[23:25] <damo22> Lofde_: you should use a non journalling fs on ssd
[23:25] <hydrox24> schurl: also, make sure the drive is unmounted before renameing it.
[23:25] <Lofde_> ok.. when 12.04 comes out what would you recommend...
[23:25] <schurl> hydrox24: how do i do that?=
[23:26] <Harold> why are people using different distributions? if you use the same GUI there's almost no difference? ( for amatures of course)
[23:26] <damo22> Lofde_: assuming bugs are fixed someone mentioned btrfs? can anyone confirm this
[23:26] <DinoMuffin> well
[23:27] <scienceNinjaBob> i meant 11.10
[23:27] <Harold> or is it just a matter of stability?
[23:27] <pegler> I'm trying to figure out why mii-tool isn't working.
[23:27] <Harold> and safety?
[23:27] <DinoMuffin> pegler: you might also try ethtool
[23:27] <hydrox24> Harold: mm, well I guess some people care about having whatever WM they use installed by default (and thus suppoprted)
[23:27] <hydrox24> schurl: unmount it?
[23:27] <Lofde_> I have a friend that is big on the ZFS that oracle has... reading the wiki on btrfs.. seems interesting.. ill have to research it
[23:27] <schurl> hydrox24: yes
[23:27] <DinoMuffin> pegler: I need to brb for about 15-20 minutes
[23:28] <Aiutooooo> it's there anyone in there?
[23:28] <DinoMuffin> someone else might be able to help in the meantime
[23:28] <hydrox24> schurl: does it appear in the sidebar in nautilus? (I am assuming not)
[23:28] <pegler> that's fine.  thanks a lot for your help
[23:28] <pegler> I'll keep checking things
[23:28] <DinoMuffin> no prob, hope it works out
[23:28] <schurl> hydrox24:  no only after restart, after i click once on it, it disappears
[23:28] <hydrox24> Aiutooooo: we CAN hear you...
[23:28] <hydrox24> schurl: OK
[23:28] <hydrox24> schurl: can you open up a terminal?
[23:28] <Harold> can anybody recommend me a faster alternative to gnome (i want the newest version of whatever without using unity)
[23:29] <schurl> hydrox24:  already did
[23:29] <hydrox24> Harold: I use gnome3 and find that pretty snappy
[23:29] <cfhowlett> Harold: lxde or xfce : lubuntu or xubuntu
[23:29] <Harold> which one looks better?
[23:29] <hydrox24> schurl: OK then: sudo umount /media/.medion
[23:30] <Aiutooooo> i need to use Ubuntu... 'cause my Hard Drive had fainted and Ubuntu stopped to work properly since 1 year
[23:30] <Wargasm> lxde is fastest from what I've read
[23:30] <Wargasm> xfce is more complete
[23:30] <hydrox24> Harold: both are customizable...
[23:30] <Harold> so are women
[23:30] <damo22> ????
[23:30] <schurl> hydrox24: ok, did it, no confirmation or anything, is that ok?
[23:30] <Harold> but seriusly which one would you recommend if you're used to gnome
[23:30] <hydrox24> schurl: yup
[23:31] <OerHeks> Harold, try not to be funny, it is not appreciated, thanx
[23:31] <hydrox24> schurl: now go ahead and use gparted to rename it
[23:31] <scienceNinjaBob> wasn't even half funny
[23:31] <schurl> hydrox24: ok thanks, gparted i get from ubuntu software center?
[23:31] <franck99> ~/help
[23:31] <Wargasm> quarter funny?
[23:31] <hydrox24> schurl: sure
[23:31] <scienceNinjaBob> about
[23:31] <Wargasm> Harold: if you want speed, lxde or xfce
[23:31] <schurl> hydrox24: ill try and report back
[23:31] <hydrox24> franck99: just ask the Q mate.
[23:32] <damo22> franck99: ~/ask
[23:32] <hydrox24> schurl: OK
[23:32] <scienceNinjaBob> My mouse and touchpad makes x server crash every time i use it.  here's a direct to the log file http://pastebin.com/t2YxJVui
[23:32] <Harold> yep i got but which one of those two?
