[07:41] <krised> sherif thats whenever youre using your mouse.. CLI is commandline (typing) GUI is graphic userinterface. (using mouse)
[07:41] <scientes> cause they all use PolicyKit
[07:42] <ubuntu23421> it doesnt even work with fn+f7 keys
[07:42] <sherif> krised cool and wut is kde?
[07:42] <i_is_broke> oh wait your using a mac right
[07:42] <ubuntu23421> its a sony vayo
[07:42] <Angablade> ubuntu23421, the video card might just need to detect the tv. Have you tried pulling the cable out and reconnecting it?
[07:42] <theadmin> scientes: Yeah PolicyKit/ConsoleKit is evil >.<
[07:42] <ubuntu23421> yes
[07:42] <Angablade> Okay.
[07:42] <i_is_broke> scientes, sorry forgot to highlight. i dont know what else  is in mac setup either.
[07:42] <werder> ubuntu23421: so the laptop screen works fine
[07:42] <Angablade> What type of connection is it?
[07:42] <kelvin> hi
[07:42] <krised> sherif kds and gnome are just two graphic ways of showing you your linux.. there are many diffrent kinds of xsessions (thats the graphic part of your linux)
[07:42] <ubuntu23421> no i cant see nothing on the lcd
[07:43] <kelvin> i couldnt able to join room :
[07:43] <ome> Yo, anyone knows a good PDF2CHM ?
[07:43] <kelvin> i got following error
[07:43] <rick_> i cant find gdb manual on gnu.org
[07:43] <ubuntu23421> of the laptop
[07:43] <scientes> theadmin, are they inseperable? i know fedora is deprecating ck
[07:43] <Angablade> ubuntu23421, what type of connection were you using to connect to the tv?
[07:43] <sherif> krised u mean i can use kde or gnome instead of GUI?
[07:43] <ubuntu23421> vga dvi cable
[07:43] <theadmin> scientes: I'm not sure, but they're annoying for sure...  Does the tv change on boot up?
[07:43] <kelvin> ##linux Cannot send to channe
[07:43] <ubuntu23421> i dont see nothing until it starts the ubunto setup
[07:43] <sherif> krised cuz someone told me that kde is much faster than gui
[07:43] <theadmin> scientes: Maybe, but at least it's simple...
[07:44] <krised> sherif well kde IS an gui really
[07:44] <scientes> I think PolicyKit is good,
[07:44] <kelvin> ##linux Cannot send to channel
[07:44] <krised> try google KDE and look at pictures
[07:44] <kelvin> hi help : ##linux Cannot send to channe
[07:44] <theadmin> kelvin: Register your nickname, you
[07:44] <theadmin> !register | kelvin
[07:44] <sherif> krised oh ok wut am i now? :D
[07:44] <sherif> krised how do i know im kde or unity
[07:45] <Angablade> ubuntu23421, have you tried any other monitors or tv's?
[07:45] <ubuntu23421> after I install the drivers for nvidia graphic board it only displays the broken laptop display, i hear sound of the so booting but no picture
[07:45] <werder> ubuntu23421: did the laptop screen work before you installed the nvidia drivers?
[07:45] <krised> sherif usually it tells you when you boot the system.. if you installed a standard ubuntu and you got a sidebar panel to your left side its unity.
[07:45] <ubuntu23421> well
[07:45] <kelvin> how to register nickname
[07:45] <ubuntu23421> it aint going to work i know
[07:46] <theadmin> kelvin: ubottu just told you. /join #freenode and ask there
[07:46] <Stanley00> kelvin: try ask it in #freenode or search the web
[07:46] <Angablade> werder, no it was broken when he was installing. He was using a tv throught a vga cable to a tv.
[07:46] <krised> sherif ubuntu these days come with unity (the ugly and unusable gui) but you can always install gnome-fallback session and boot into that as well
[07:46] <werder> Angablade: ah ok. missed that bit.
[07:46] <sherif> krised well i get a list on startup like 5 types of startup
[07:46] <fellayaboy> do i need a router that supports vpn in order to create a vpn for my home?
[07:46] <Stanley00> krised: hmm, unity is fine with me :D
[07:46] <Angablade> ubuntu23421, I would try another screen. A monitor perhaps after the machine is completely started up.
[07:47] <krised> sherif yes you can. you should install synaptic first. then install gnome-fallback session
[07:47] <theadmin> krised: Why would you need synaptic for that? You can just apt-get it
[07:47] <krised> stanley00 its fine if you just install and go with whats there.. but for working with the system its very anoying imho
[07:47] <ubuntu23421> laptop screen never worked
[07:48] <krised> theadmin for people who arent used to terminal id recommend synaptic for managing packages..
[07:48] <sherif> krised gnome or kde?
[07:48] <ubuntu23421> its on but with white on it
[07:48] <theadmin> krised: Meh, then nothing wrong with the software-center either :D
[07:48] <krised> sherif why not just install both ?? during the login screen you just pick which one you want for this session
[07:48] <Stanley00> krised: I just an edn user, surf the web and listen to music, so unity's fine :D
[07:48] <ubuntu23421> GUYZ ive been analyzing the file for the monitor setup
[07:48] <Angablade> ubuntu23421, I unstand. Try letting the laptop completely boot to the desktop, then plug another monitor into it if you can.
[07:48] <ubuntu23421> and only apears one monitor
[07:48] <krised> Stanley00 exactly.. but for administrating the system its a pain.
[07:49] <ubuntu23421> but i need two
[07:49] <sherif> krised ok first i have to install synpatic?
[07:49] <ubuntu23421> ok
[07:49] <ubuntu23421> but iam using it
[07:49] <ome> What is the _right_ way to create a link for a software that you install ? so that it comes up in menu, and you can just type it in shell.
[07:49] <sherif> krised from store?
[07:49] <ubuntu23421> running a live session
[07:49] <ubuntu23421> of ubuntu
[07:49] <Ben64> ubuntu23421: you can use something like xrandr or nvidia-settings to use the 2nd monitor
[07:49] <Stanley00> krised: I think admin prefer command line, right?
[07:49] <krised> sherif well you dont HAVE to.. but i think its easier.. in terminal try this: sudo apt-get install synaptic
[07:49] <ubuntu23421> :(
[07:49] <ubuntu23421> i tryed
[07:50] <fellayaboy> how can i setup a vpn for my home without having to mod my router with ddwrt or without buying a vpn router...ive seen so many different programs for windows that seem to work..i believe they work by bridging..is their any program or any way i could do this for ubuntu?
[07:50] <ubuntu23421> gives me an error
[07:50] <theadmin> ome, create a .desktop file in /usr/share/applications/. If you wish, there is lxmed to help you with menu editing (although I think it's not in the repos)
[07:50] <ubuntu23421> nvidia settings
[07:50] <krised> stanley00 since i have to set up the GUI part for all users.. no.. i gotta see how it looks like.. moving icons around and stuff.
[07:50] <Ben64> ubuntu23421: try to not use the enter key as punctuation
[07:50] <Angablade> ubuntu23421, if you can do that, then I would sugguest you try. If it doesn't work. Please come back. And we can proceed from there.
[07:50] <Stanley00> krised: ah, got that.
[07:50] <ubuntu23421> ok, sory
[07:51] <ome> theadmin: aight thanks, I will have a look.
[07:51] <krised> Stanley00 had i been setting up a proxy or firewall id have done it in terminal too yes
[07:51] <sherif> krised ok done
[07:51] <ubuntu23421> It will take for ever to get back here
[07:51] <sherif> krised now wut
[07:51] <ubuntu23421> see you
[07:51] <Ben64> ubuntu23421: if you have a second computer with linux, you can run nvidia-settings or another monitor configuration tool with x forwarding
[07:51] <Ben64> or not
[07:51] <werder> ha
[07:52] <Angablade> I just drank a 20 oz can of redbull. I will be here for a while.
[07:52] <krised> sherif fire up synaptic and search for gnome-fallback session
[07:52] <sherif> krised how can i execute synaptic using terminal?
[07:53] <Ben64> gksudo synaptic
[07:53] <krised> you can also search for kde and install both and then log out and click the small wheel next to your username in lightdm when logging in to select another gui
[07:53] <theadmin> Angablade: lol you :D
[07:53] <krised> sherif type sudo synaptic
[07:53] <theadmin> krised: NO
[07:53] <theadmin> !gksu | krised
[07:53] <Angablade> theadmin?
[07:53] <krised> yeah you can use gksu as well. in fact that should be prefered.
[07:53] <theadmin> krised: Running GUI apps as sudo leads to really sad results, sometimes even breaks desktop environments
[07:54] <theadmin> krised: s/as/with/
[07:54] <sherif> krised ok now there r many packages
[07:54] <Angablade> theadmin, Someone helped me. The least I can do is help someone else in return.
[07:54] <theadmin> Angablade: Nothing, I just laughed at your red bull statement
[07:54] <Angablade> Oh.
[07:54] <krised> theadmin yeah ok. im too much used to sudo so i should learn linux manners.
[07:54] <Stanley00> krised: synaptic will ask for password automatically, I think
[07:54] <sherif> krised do u mean if i login as gnome i wont be able to use terminal?
[07:55] <krised> sherif yes you will. terminal is just a program.. the gui just shows you the programs in diffrent ways. they contain same programs
[07:55] <theadmin> krised: Heh, yeah, well... I personally don't think any graphical apps (apart from maybe *very* several exceptions) should ever be ran as root anyway
[07:55] <krised> if you install a program in gnome.. and then boot into kde the program will also show up there
[07:55] <Angablade> theadmin, What is better than a can of redbull, metal, MW3 on another screen, and the irc on this screen?
[07:55] <sherif> krised ah ok got it
[07:56] <theadmin> Angablade: Heheh :) You're a fun person, could you PM me?
[07:56] <krised> theadmin agreed.
[07:56] <Angablade> Sure
[07:56] <sherif> krised is it gnome-seesion.bin cuz i have it installed :)
[07:56] <sherif> krised session*
[07:57] <krised> sherif hang on while i fire synaptic up here
[07:57] <sherif> krised fire up?
[07:57] <krised> sherif in synaptic click the search icon and search this: gnome-session-fallback
[07:57] <krised> fire up means starting the program.
[07:58] <krised> theadmin wait.. is 12.04 released yet ?
[07:58] <sherif> krised yh there a green near it i think its already installed
[07:58] <Braden`> no
[07:58] <Stanley00> krised: not yet...
[07:58] <theadmin> krised: No, latest is 11.10
[07:58] <krised> ah didnt think so either.. its strange.. 11.10 is the ONLY version apart from 9.10 which works with likewise-open
[07:59] <krised> so i got no choise when picking the version
[07:59] <sherif> krised i think im workin on gnome now :)
[07:59] <sherif> krised its already installed and my interface is not ugly
[08:00] <krised> sherif if youve installed the gnome-session-fallback you need to log out and clicking the little cog next to your name when you log in.. there you can select the gnome-session-fallback
[08:00] <krised> sherif im using gnome too. but its the unity gui that i think is unusable and ugly.
[08:01] <sherif> krised wut is the little cog next to my name?
[08:01] <fellayaboy> how do i get to see the gui in ssh on my side...i used ssh -x username@host and tried to open but it didnt work
[08:02] <krised> sherif when you log in to your computer after restarting it.. where you usually click your name and it asks for password.. there is a small cog.. a wheel with spikes on it.
[08:02] <Stanley00> fellayaboy: did you try x app forward HOWTO?
[08:02] <fellayaboy> no
[08:02] <sherif> krised i will just log out and check
[08:02] <fellayaboy> wheres taht at?
[08:02] <krised> sherif yeah do that. it should work now
[08:02] <fellayaboy> im a lil inexperienced
[08:03] <Stanley00> fellayaboy: I think you will find the answer there, search for that in the web
[08:03] <Ben64> fellayaboy: you might want to re-check the manual page for ssh
[08:03] <fellayaboy> which website
[08:03] <Ben64> fellayaboy: -x is not x forwarding, -X is.
[08:03] <fellayaboy> thank u ben
[08:03] <fellayaboy> that probably was my error
[08:04] <metaspike> fellayaboy - man ssh - <the manual page> :)
[08:04] <sherif> krised it was set to ubuntu
[08:04] <fellayaboy> thank u
[08:04] <sherif> krised is ubuntu same as unity?
[08:04] <krised> sherif yes. that is by standard the unity (there is a panel in your left side) click the cog and select fallback session if you can.
[08:05] <sherif> krised cant find panel on left side
[08:06] <krised> sherif if youre logged in with the standard ubuntu it should give you a panel in your left side with icons like firefox and other programs
[08:07] <sherif> krised actually the panel on left side is not there now it was available in ubuntu
[08:07] <sherif> krised im not standard now im gnome
[08:07] <krised> ok. then you got a top menu line and a bottom program line right ?
[08:08] <krised> it should look a bit diffrent from the ubuntu youre used to
[08:08] <sherif> krised yup its different
[08:08] <ubuntu25324> iam back
[08:09] <krised> sherif then you successfully installed gnome as it use to be.. you can also try kde if you like.. or any other of the many many diffrent xsessions..
[08:09] <ubuntu25324> didnt work putting the cable after running the os, as i expected,
[08:09] <metaspike> sherif, why are you using fallback?
[08:09] <krised> metaspike im showing him the diffrence in the xsessions
[08:09] <metaspike> ah
[08:10] <sherif> krised there were gnome,gnome classic ubuntu, ubuntu 2D
[08:10] <ubuntu25324> ppl can i get some help with the monitor issue vs graphic card?
[08:10] <ubuntu25324> 1:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G72M [GeForce Go 7400] (rev a1)
[08:10] <sherif> metaspike wut is fallback?
[08:10] <krised> yeah.. ive set my systems to classic ubuntu.. cause its simple and i like it like that.
[08:10] <sherif> krised now i cant get the left panel :S
[08:11] <metaspike> what you're using now apparently
[08:11] <krised> sherif in the fallback you dont need it
[08:11] <ubuntu25324> any admin on
[08:11] <ubuntu25324> _
[08:11] <sherif> krised wut is fallback?
[08:11] <Ben64> !details | ubuntu25324
[08:12] <krised> sherif it was originally designed as a failsafe way of getting into ubuntu if the graphics cant cope with the "flashy" look of the ubuntu unity
[08:13] <sherif> krised theres activites up left right?
[08:14] <krised> sherif you should see in the top left side two words. one saying Programs another saying Places right ?
[08:14] <ubuntu25324> ok, my laptop monitor is broke, i have a tv set installed on the external connector, it works with the standard drivers, but once i install nvidia, it stops working, iam using a sony vayo laptop, with 1:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G72M [GeForce Go 7400] (rev a1), ubuntu 10.4 lts
[08:14] <krised> theadmin uhmm was it you who recommended me lxdm ?
[08:14] <Ben64> ubuntu25324: oh its you again
[08:15] <ubuntu25324> iam pluggin the tv with a vga/dvi connector
[08:15] <Ben64> ubuntu25324: if you have a second computer with linux, you can run nvidia-settings or another monitor configuration tool with x forwarding
[08:15] <ubuntu25324> I dont have any other
[08:15] <krised> Any admin here ?? Im getting racistic PM from Snarbafulator!!!
[08:15] <sherif> krised no theres just activites and when i go on it theres windows, applications
[08:15] <ubuntu25324> thats why iam running the LIVE version of ubuntu
[08:16] <iceroot> krised: #ubuntu-ops
[08:16] <krised> sherif that sounds more like unity really.
[08:16] <theadmin> krised: yeah
[08:17] <krised> theadmin thanks.. it looks fair.. but i cant log in.. its showing me users that arent on the system
[08:17] <Ben64> ubuntu25324: then you'd have to use xrandr
[08:17] <ubuntu25324> ok
[08:17] <metaspike> ubuntu25324, there's probably a fn+function <F1, F2, F3 ETC> key to switch displays, or you can possibly change this behaviour with bios.
[08:17] <sherif> krised i dont feel like that do windows i open just have x and no - or rectangle?
[08:17] <theadmin> !ops | Snarbafulator is spamming in PM
[08:17] <ubuntu25324> the fn combination doesnt work either
[08:17] <krised> sherif youre not in the gnome fallback session i think.
[08:18] <ubuntu25324> I cant see bios either
[08:18] <krised> theadmin i just got that pm from him as well.. ive reported him too
[08:18] <sherif> krised i am on gnome
[08:18] <ubuntu25324> I just see the install procedure for ubuntu and live ubuntu, also ubuntu with the standard driivers without opengl
[08:19] <krised> sherif hmm well if its standard gnome its unity still.. you have to pick the classic if you can
[08:19] <theadmin> krised: Ouch
[08:20] <Angablade> ubuntu25324, try installing again from the live session, and install and configure the video stuff before restarting.
[08:20] <ubuntu25324> wut is xrandr and where can i find it_
[08:20] <ubuntu25324> _
[08:20] <Ben64> ubuntu25324: its a command line tool
[08:21] <sherif> krissed i am gnome classic now its the same the date n time up mid right?
[08:21] <ubuntu25324> i cant configure anything because it says iam not using the drivers, and also i have to restart before using it, and when i do it disapears from display
[08:21] <ubuntu25324> xrandr
[08:21] <sherif> krised i am gnome classic now its the same the date n time up mid right?
[08:21] <ubuntu25324> how do i fond it
[08:21] <krised> sherif yes.
[08:22] <Ben64> ubuntu25324: you type it on command line
[08:22] <krised> thats the old gnome (sorta) its one way to show things.. its mostly like windows.
[08:22] <sherif> krised ok wut packages of gnome shud i install? cuz there r many
[08:22] <krised> sherif well it seems like you got gnome install
[08:23] <sherif> krised theres gnome-colors n gnome-common

[08:26] <mernilio> sherif: in english please?
[08:26] <krised> sherif ah you gotta set your system to ask for password. in gnome classic its in the programs menu somwhere. (theadmin just made me install lxdm so my entire install is unusable for a few more minutes)
[08:26] <krised> mernilio uhmm i belive sherif is typing english here ?
[08:27] <mernilio> krised: a subset maybe..

[08:28] <mernilio> But i should not complain, im pretty bad in english myself.
[08:28] <sherif> mernilio do u have problem :D

[08:28] <mernilio> sherif: only with you :-)
[08:28] <krised> theadmin its ok.. i got a backup.. I THINK..
[08:28] <pangolin> !ot | mernilio sherif
[08:29] <sherif> mernilio im glad
[08:29] <mernilio> lets cut the crap! we all love eachother!
[08:29] <metaspike> ubuntu25324, might want to try 10.04 ubuntu or even ubuntu mint, debian... or go back to windows whatever, cya
[08:30] <sherif> krised which package of kde shud i install n does it big space?
[08:30] <sherif> krised take*
[08:31] <ubuntu25324> I would love to have some assitance from someone that actually knows stuff
[08:31] <krised> sherif uhmm you should install one with the latest version that doesnt say anything like language package or somthing like that.
[08:32] <krised> This is not happening. i got ONE disc with my entire setup and i cant find it
[08:32] <ElixerIsZog> can anyone help me stretch my desktop wallpaper to fit a dual monitor?
[08:33] <Ben64> ubuntu25324: i tried to give you suggestions but you say it won't work
[08:33] <krised> ill brb
[08:33] <sherif> krised is it kde-l10n-uk
[08:33] <henrikbjorn> can any help me with "locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory"
[08:34] <sherif> krised nvm this is translation files
[08:35] <krised> sherif hehe yeah you gotta  check what youre installing.. i think the software center can also work since it doesnt show packages but just complete programs
[08:37] <sherif> krised well cant get it from store but i found kde-standard in synpatic
[08:37] <krised> sherif yeah that looks about right.
[08:37] <sherif> krised will it look as windows 7?
[08:38] <krised> sherif no but it will be familiar.. but then again. so can gnome classic be if you pull down the top menu to the bottom.
[08:39] <sherif> krised well i think i will stick to gnome at the moment
[08:39] <sherif> krised dont u know how to make gnome classic default?

[08:52] <ProGimp> Jarred this isn't for kids.
[08:53] <Alpha-Omega> question: how is ubuntu minimal different from arch other than a different repo and package manager?
[08:53] <Jarred> what are the specs of the laptop?
[08:53] <krised> ProGimp i agree with oCean.. i doubt most people would come here before googling things
[08:55] <Jarred> are there any singles here,an i mean girls:bbm pin:269ef3a7

[09:04] <azriel> it only responds to a reboot
[09:04] <student> hello
[09:04] <azriel> who has ever had this problem?
[09:04] <quixotedon> azriel: how many times do you experience this?
[09:04] <krised> azriel hmm could be hardware related ? like ram perhaps
[09:04] <Ben64> azriel: do you have pulseaudio installed? it causes a lot of audio problems for me
[09:04] <azriel> every time i turn on my comptuer
[09:05] <linocisco> krised: yes. I want to test some server role like mail server with two accounts. just example server
[09:05] <student> hello how do you do
[09:05] <quixotedon> azriel: what app do you use to listen to the audio?
[09:05] <quixotedon> student: what do you want to say?
[09:05] <azriel> it dual boots and doesnt happen on windows
[09:05] <AlanBell> hello student, if you have a question about ubuntu please ask it

[09:07] <student> да
[09:07] <student> да
[09:07] <quixotedon> azriel: try using a more reliable program, your program might have a bug (in my opinion)
[09:07] <azriel> its not my program
[09:07] <azriel> it doesnt matter what im running or how long its running
[09:07] <student> join#ubuntu-ru
[09:08] <student> yes

[09:09] <azriel> *prblem
[09:09] <azriel> it is not the media player
[09:09] <Ben64> azriel: try removing pulseaudio, and yelling less
[09:09] <ServerSage> azriel: Have you looked at the logs in /var/log/ or run dmesg to see if anything is being reported?
[09:09] <azriel> see thats helpful, no i did not i will check now
[09:10] <Phil___> Does anyone have experience with Broadcom wireless adapters?
[09:10] <[deXter]> !broadcom | Phil___
[09:10] <Phil___> Did that, actually, and it didn't work.
[09:10] <azriel> how do i read what the dmesg says,
[09:10] <azriel> thats alot of words
[09:11] <quixotedon> i have problem with mobile broadband, it only happens on linux, any solution?
[09:11] <Phil___> I've installed the drivers, the 'additional drivers' screen tells me it's working, but for some reason it's not picking up the adapter.
[09:11] <theadmin> quixotedon: What problem?
[09:11] <azriel> ...
[09:12] <penguinman1337> azriel, pipe it to grep to filter for what ur after
[09:12] <quixotedon> my problem is, the connection is sometimes on and off (disconnect by itself), i tried on win7 (dual boot on my laptop) and there's no such problem
[09:12] <ServerSage> azriel: You might want to give what Ben64 said a try.  pulse audio is a good culprit.
[09:12] <azriel> how do i do whatever ben said?
[09:12] <Ben64> its one of the first things i do on a new system
[09:12] <quixotedon> azriel: try vlc, that's the best i can think of
[09:12] <Ben64> azriel: "sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio"
[09:12] <azriel> penguinman i don know what im after
[09:12] <azriel> shut up quix
[09:13] <azriel> wont that mute my computer?
[09:13] <Ben64> nope
[09:13] <azriel> what does pulse audio do?
[09:13] <Ben64> !info pulseaudio
[09:13] <Ben64> oh thats not very much info
[09:14] <Ben64> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PulseAudio
[09:14] <ServerSage> azriel:
[09:14] <[deXter]> Phil___, Did you check if your hardware wireless switch is on?
[09:14] <Phil___> Yep.
[09:14] <ServerSage> azriel: Big thing is it gives you networked audio.  Woo hoo?
[09:14] <Phil___> It works if I boot into win7
[09:15] <karthick87> I have upgraded my system, where my firefox version is also got updated. How ever i need firefox version 3.6 to test some features.. How do i downgrade the firefox version?
[09:15] <azriel> lol what does networked audio mean?
[09:16] <azriel> I'll let you know if it works
[09:16] <ServerSage> azriel: If you have to ask, you probably don't need it.  The link Ben64 gave you explains it.  It's safe to remove, and may solve your problem.
[09:16] <azriel> ok :3
[09:16] <Jarred> YOU ARE ALL NERDS*DWANKY
[09:17] <krised> well he is right.. we are nerds.. but he makes it sound like its a bad thing..
[09:17] <linocisco> can anybody help me?
[09:17] <oCean> krised: please move on
[09:17] <Phil___> Note: In Ubuntu 11.04, if the driver fails to load, you may need to reinstall the bcmwl-kernel-source package. This can be done from Synaptic -> Mark for Reinstallation.    Would that show as the driver being active in the 'aditional drivers' screen?
[09:17] <Stanley00> karthick87: well, if you use synaptic, you can goto package -> force version to do that
[09:17] <ServerSage> linocisco: Not until you ask.
[09:17] <krised> heh yeah sry
[09:18] <linocisco> hello all.  As I have only laptop Lenovo B450 and no desktop, I tried to install ubuntu  server 10.10, installation was fine. but i see only small fonts are booting up. what/how to fix?

[09:49] <linocisco> Stanley00: setfont /usr/share/consolefonts/<name_of_font>.psf.gz . where to find that gz file?
[09:49] <Jordan_U> m1bxd: This should work with almost any window manager, ctrl+alt+shift+arrow-key to move a window to another workspace.
[09:49] <sherif> dns53 ty, there was a command of 4 letters n got r n p something like that to open GUI
[09:50] <m1bxd> Jordan_U - I'll just try it
[09:50] <kapz> umm how to find out version of unity in use/installed?
[09:50] <Stanley00> linocisco: you can use ls to list the fonts in that dir
[09:50] <iceroot> kapz: dpkg -l unity
[09:50] <linocisco> Stanley00: ls -l?
[09:51] <dale> Anyone got a fix for the crackling audio problem, audio is VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8237A/VT8251 HDA Controller (rev 10)

[09:51] <Stanley00> linocisco: yep
[09:52] <iceroot> kapz: i dont think to it will be backported
[09:52] <dns53> sherif what was your question?
[09:52] <kapz> !?! what does that mean?
[09:53] <m1bxd> jordan_u - nope, it just flicks you back to your original workspace
[09:53] <sherif> dns53 i forgot a command that was from 4 letters like pprm that open like interface settings u remeber it?
[09:53] <iceroot> kapz: normally you will never get a newer version within one ubuntu-release, just security fixes
[09:53] <iceroot> kapz: but i am not sure how unity is handled in that case
[09:54] <theantislim> Morning, all.
[09:54] <soham> with new ubuntu 11.10 released i ask the gurus about some review.
[09:55] <Jordan_U> m1bxd: Ctrl+alt+shift+right will move the current window one workspace to the right, and will also switch you one workspace to the right. This can be confusing with maximized windows as it appears nothing has happened.
[09:55] <dns53> sherif no idea
[09:55] <kapz> iceroot: I get it now, btw my next imp Q: Is there a way to copy and migrate ubuntu? You see I installed ubuntu 32 bit and updated all the things..now I want to install ubuntu on a 32 bit desktop, but it doesn't have network connectivity, so can I just copy/paste ubuntu from VM to HDD?
[09:55] <iceroot> kapz: yes
[09:55] <iceroot> !clone | kapz
[09:56] <iceroot> kapz: hm that is not the correct text
[09:56] <iceroot> kapz: you can do it with "clonezilla" or "dd" for a starter i would suggest clonezilla if you want a disk-dump
[09:56] <dale> Anyone got a fix for the crackling audio problem, audio is VT8237A/VT8251 HDA Controller, Kernel modules: snd-hda-intel

[09:57] <m1bxd> jordan - you'll really have to hold my hand here! Open FireFox C-a-s-r -> new workspace -> Open another FireFox - FireFox comes up, but I can only see one instance
[09:57] <kapz> iceroot: no I will have different partition size on original machine...will just update fstab...but what else is needed?
[09:57] <dale> iceroot: You mean it's a bug?
[09:57] <iceroot> dale: i dont know
[09:57] <iceroot> dale: but if there is no bug normally the devs will not see it
[09:58] <dale> iceroot: ok
[09:58] <theantislim> !automate

[09:59] <kapz> wow you're a nice gal! :)
[10:00] <huwshimi> Hi, I have a USB audio interface (Presonus 44vsl), but Ubuntu is not recognising it fully. If I run "cat /proc/asound/cards" it shows the usb interface, but "aplay -l" does not. Any suggestions on how I might start debugging this?
[10:01] <Krised> iceroot ive installed lxdm on top of lightdm.. big mistake.. where do i reconfig it to use lightdm instead ? i can ONLY boot in via a livecd so i need the config file
[10:01] <Chotaz> y
[10:02] <iceroot> Krised: imo "sudo update-alternatives lightdm" should work
[10:03] <Krised> iceroot but wont that only work if im booted up on the system i should be installing to ?
[10:03] <iceroot> Krised: chroot into the system
[10:04] <iceroot> Krised: i dont know what file is managing which (gdm, lightdm, lxdm) is used
[10:04] <Krised> ok thanks
[10:05] <Steevca> Excuse me,can i get support for joli os here?
[10:05] <oCean> Steevca: nope, this is only ubuntu support
[10:06] <Steevca> Ok,i thought because it's based on ubuntu that you can help me.
[10:07] <iceroot> Steevca: no
[10:07] <theadmin> Steevca: Certain distros make changes we're not aware of. Joli uses their own kernel, which is a HUGE change, and they completely changed the interface, so nope.
[10:07] <theadmin> Steevca: This channel only supports the following systems: Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu, Edubuntu and Ubuntu Studio
[10:08] <theadmin> ...I'm not so sure about the last one actually
[10:08] <iceroot> Steevca: its like "#debian will not support ubuntu-issues just because ubuntu is based on debian"
[10:08] <Steevca> Ok :D
[10:10] <theadmin> Really, now, this is something I forgot... Is Ubuntu Studio an officially supported Ubuntu deriv?
[10:10] <m1bxd> jordan
[10:11] <iceroot> theadmin: yes
[10:11] <Steevca> Can you just tell me the terminal command for installing a driver from a flah drive?
[10:11] <Steevca> Is that the same? :D
[10:11] <theadmin> iceroot: Thanks
[10:11] <theadmin> Steevca: sudo dpkg -i /path/to/file.deb
[10:11] <Steevca> theadmin Thaks.

[10:13] <Rehhoff> Any admins operators online here ?
[10:13] <Krised> yeah there is

[10:14] <JustMozzy> hey guys. I have a lenovo sl500. according to specs all my usb ports should be 2.0, however when I lsusb only two are shown to be 2.0 and when I connect my external hard disk things are uber slow. can anyone help out?
[10:14] <theadmin> Krised: use tab to complete long filenames, say, if the filename is "ifqopfqioq" you can type "ifq<tab>" and get that :D
[10:14] <Krised> iceroot it says no such file or
[10:14] <Rehhoff> can't you just ban the dude or ?
[10:14] <iceroot> Krised: sounds like you misstyped it or have whitespaces in the path
[10:14] <theadmin> Krised: So, sudo chroot /media/first_few_letters<tab>
[10:14] <Krised> theadmin i did copypaste.. shouldnt i go into its root dir or just the mountet id ?
[10:15] <iceroot> Krised: sudo chroot "/media/foo bar"
[10:15] <theadmin> Krised: Ah yeah, point, take the name in quotes
[10:16] <elky> Rehhoff, which one? I just banned one who was PM spamming?
[10:16] <Krised> theadmin when i look at the nautilus and hit ctrl L i get the location /media/<string> but that isnt found in /media folder looking in terminal
[10:16] <Rehhoff> kackermann was the dude spmmaing offensive pms
[10:16] <theadmin> Krised: Uuuuuh... That hardly makes any sense. ls /media/ # Don't see it listed?
[10:16] <Wobbo> Wobbo

[10:17] <theadmin> Krised: mmk then, can you paste the "long id string"?
[10:17] <Krised> but in nautilus i get the harddrive
[10:17] <elky> Rehhoff, yes, i banned that person, i can't stop them from PMing you, the staff of the network are in #freenode though if it's still happening
[10:17] <Krised> theadmin its on another computer
[10:18] <theadmin> Krised: Meh anyway, does it look like a bunch of hex numbers (that is 0-9, A-F) with dashes?
[10:18] <Krised> theadmin yes.. ill just see if i can check the partition name in gparted
[10:18] <theadmin> Krised: Cool. sudo mount /dev/disk/by-uuid/the_long_id_string /mnt && sudo chroot /mnt

[10:19] <gry2> http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-993262.html last post is my problem, no video in skype?
[10:20] <theadmin> Krised: You don't really need a livecd for that, boot to the "broken" system, hit Ctrl-Alt-F2, log in and do "sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm"
[10:21] <Krised> theadmin ok ill try that ty
[10:22] <ZooMonkey> Hey you guys - I'm working on this project I have obtained some DIFFs I have to apply for!!! I have the src Tar. My diffs are in a TXT file tho. Do I just rename this as a diff? The file starts as "diff".
[10:23] <theadmin> ZooMonkey: The file extension usually doesn't matter so you can probably keep those as they are
[10:23] <ZooMonkey> Do I put it in root of the unfolded pack? How do I know where to run it / ?
[10:23] <Phil___> Ok, got the wireless working.  Awesome.  Thanks to all the folks who helped.
[10:23] <theadmin> ZooMonkey: See "man patch" and other things like that.
[10:24] <ZooMonkey> OK Thx theadmin :)
[10:24] <sam_> iceroot: i'm trying to report a bug using ubuntu-bug as you recommended earlier, but i've been redirected to a page that says "Please wait while bug data is processed. This page will refresh every 10 seconds until processing is complete."
[10:24] <sam_> iceroot: it's been here for about 15 or 20 minutes now...is it supposed to take this long?
[10:25] <Krised> theadmin damn man youre a linux guru.. would you happen to know if i can change the lightDM login "Other" to another name ?
[10:25] <theadmin> sam_: Hm no, can you try to force-refresh the page manually (ctrl-f5)?
[10:25] <theadmin> Krised: Nah probably not without recompiling from source
[10:25] <Phil___> Now, I don't suppose someone could help me find the proper nvidia drivers and such?  I enabled the recommended nvidia driver, but under system info it says my graphics driver is 'unknown'
[10:26] <Krised> theadmin its ok. I just gotta remember saving all my shit first and burn a working copy of it.
[10:26] <iceroot> sam_: no maybe 10-30 seconds
[10:26] <sam_> theadmin: refreshing doesn't seem to change much...it seems to be refreshing every 10 seconds as it says, the problem is that it never stops refreshing :P
[10:26] <theadmin> sam_: Hm... This is weird
[10:27] <sam_> theadmin: maybe i'll try to run ubuntu-bug again
[10:27] <theadmin> Krised: K, sure thing
[10:27] <theadmin> sam_: Yeah, sure :)
[10:27] <tom453642356> Hello: I would like to do a simple comparison of 2 directory heirarchies - checking the have the same files and file sizes.. Could someone tell me how please?
[10:29] <theadmin> tom453642356: Hm, this is a bit messy but will work and show you the differences if any: ls -l1 dir1 > list1 ; ls -l1 dir2 > list2 ; diff list1 list2
[10:29] <theadmin> Ah, wait, sizes
[10:29] <theadmin> Hmm
[10:30] <theadmin> Do the same trick but with df for the sizes I think
[10:30] <tom453642356> theadmin: ls -l1 won't work because it shows file modification times
[10:30] <theadmin> tom453642356: Ah
[10:30] <theadmin> tom453642356: Yeah that's true... hmmm...
[10:30] <theadmin> tom453642356: err... Huh, this seems to work: diff dir1 dir2
[10:31] <tom453642356> theadmin diff dir1 dir2 - it doesn't work because it reads the file data (every single byte) and takes forever. i don't want to real 100gb of file contents....
[10:31] <tom453642356> -real +read
[10:31] <abys> Can somebody tell me why psk="hex" is needed in wpa_supplicant ? Why cant i just put the psk in normal code?
[10:32] <tom453642356> i also tried meld - it has same problem - reads every single byte of files
[10:32] <theadmin> tom453642356: Huh. I see. Then just use ls + df with files as shown above, shouldn't be too hard. Just take the -l out, use simply -1
[10:33] <tom453642356> theadmin: ls -l on my computer is showing modification time, that will be different
[10:33] <sam_> theadmin, iceroot: thanks guys that worked
[10:33] <sam_> theadmin, iceroot: i've got one more question though
[10:33] <theadmin> tom453642356: As stated, get rid of the -l and just use "ls -1"
[10:33] <sam_> theadmin, iceroot: i actually created a bug for this problem yesterday (but didn't mark it against a package)
[10:34] <tom453642356> sorry i will try that thanks
[10:34] <sam_> theadmin, iceroot: can i report this bug without opening up a new issue?
[10:34] <sam_> theadmin, iceroot: alternatively is there a way to remove the old bug from launchpad/
[10:34] <sam_> ?
[10:35] <iceroot> sam_: please show the bug url
[10:35] <tom453642356> if diff displays nothing that means they match right? :)
[10:35] <iceroot> tom453642356: yes
[10:35] <theadmin> tom453642356: Yeah
[10:35] <sam_> iceroot: this is the old bug report (without the extra stuff that ubuntu-bug adds): https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/927120
[10:35] <tom453642356> theadmin: thanks heaps for your help
[10:35] <Nepherius> what's a good alternative to desktop recorder ?
[10:36] <theadmin> tom453642356: np
[10:36] <iceroot> sam_: and you have also a new bug for that against linux?
[10:37] <sam_> iceroot: when i reported that first bug (927120), i got an automated response saying to report the bug against a specific package
[10:37] <iceroot> sam_: and you have also a new bug for that against linux?
[10:37] <sam_> iceroot: and so now i've done that by using "ubuntu-bug linux", which seems to be creating a new bug
[10:37] <sam_> iceroot: no its just the one bug
[10:37] <iceroot> sam_: please the link of the new bug
[10:38] <iceroot> sam_: you created with "ubuntu-bug linux" i will merge them
[10:39] <sam_> iceroot: ok thanks, here it is: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/927535
[10:39] <sam_> iceroot: i put the same summary/description in both bugs; hope that doesn't confuse anyone...
[10:39] <hc96> Hi! My Ubuntu has just crashed. First Firefox hung up, now the mouse doesn't move anymore. No keypress works (e.g. Strg-Alt+F1 for console). what should I do? I dont want to press reset.
[10:40] <hc96> ssh connection doesn't get refused, but also not accepted (no message)
[10:40] <m1bxd> jordan_U solved with http://askubuntu.com/questions/75242/persistent-window-placement
[10:43] <iceroot> sam_: done
[10:43] <iceroot> launchpad is very slow today :(
[10:44] <JustMozzy> Was just wondering and probably the answer is no but is it possible to change a disk's file system without formatting it?
[10:44] <sam_> iceroot: thanks for all your help with that!
[10:44] <iceroot> sam_: you are welcome
[10:44] <iceroot> JustMozzy: no
[10:44] <iceroot> JustMozzy: formating = change the format
[10:44] <JustMozzy> iceroot, thought so, thanks :)
[10:45] <iceroot> JustMozzy: there was something like "migrate from ext2 to ext3" without losing the data but i never looked at it very depply
[10:45] <iceroot> deeply

[10:55] <aeropig> I am using 12.10 now.

[10:57] <iceroot> Pupuser: please be more specific
[10:58] <iceroot> Pupuser: what process is using so much cpu
[10:59] <JustMozzy> Is there a way to defragment fat32 disks on ubuntu? I got now windows machine
[11:00] <clockwize> mcb_2: I was using http://www.cronmaker.com/ why isn't this giving me the correct result?
[11:01] <atm_> hi someone can help? i wish to see the content of a desktop notification that already disappear from the screen. thanks
[11:01] <chroot> is there any software that can record the cmd user input to a file?
[11:02] <mcb_2> clockwize: I dont know the site, but cron sintaxe is as follow: minutes  hour   day_of_month month day_of_the_week   <command>.
[11:02] <mikubuntu> Tm_T  how do you know if the print heads are clean?
[11:02] <clockwize> thanks, just noticed on that site it says its for "quartz cron format" whatever that is :p
[11:02] <anudaasa> function of cron is ok
[11:04] <mcb_2> chroot: The user history should do that, it will be located in /home/<user>/.bash_history
[11:04] <chroot> yeah, right , and script will too.
[11:05] <chroot> but i want to record the passwd you input
[11:05] <anudaasa> yes, history is in bash_history :-)
[11:05] <ice10001> Lo all
[11:05] <chroot> that's history and script cann't handle
[11:05] <ice10001> anyone here who can help on a zubuntu 64 (11.10) proxy prob?
[11:05] <ice10001> xubuntu *
[11:05] <anudaasa> chroot, why record someone password ?
[11:05] <chroot> you know  passwd is not echo to user?
[11:06] <chroot> to protect my system from hackers
[11:06] <atm_> can i see a desktop notification second time?
[11:06] <chroot> they will use the same method to get my  password
[11:07] <mcb_2> chroot: So what you want is a keylogger, not to record commands that are imputed....
[11:08] <atm_> someone can help?
[11:08] <chroot> mcb_2, is keylogger a software or command?
[11:09] <anudaasa> atm, notification about what ?
[11:09] <damo22> is it possible to chroot into an environment as a normal user, and gain root privileges?
[11:10] <atm_> in portuguese something like another user is using you work area
[11:10] <mcb_2> Its not a name of any software in particular.... Its like saying that you need an antivirus. Keyloggers are a specific kind of software. Got what I mean?
[11:11] <mcb_2> chrrot: Its not a name of any software in particular.... Its like saying that you need an antivirus. Keyloggers are a specific kind of software. Got what I mean?
[11:11] <anudaasa> atm, you can use firewall
[11:12] <theadmin> !test
[11:12] <mcb_2> chroot: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keystroke_logging
[11:12] <theadmin> Oh, my scrollbar got stuck xD
[11:12] <chroot> mcb_2, yes, i think so.
[11:13] <atm_> ok, but is there a way to see that message again, is it saved somewhere?
[11:13] <theadmin> damo22: Technically yes, since a normal user can grab a livecd and boot. But other than that, well, the "chroot" command needs root priveleges.
[11:14] <atm_> because it where a ip address in the message.
[11:15] <Krised> hmm I got a 500GB external hdd which the disktool in ubuntu tells me is not in a good shape. I cant mount it. is there any way to recover the filesystem without deleting the files on it ?
[11:15] <anudaasa> atm, you have problem and dont know, if someone other is on your computer ?
[11:16] <theadmin> Krised: Try Testdisk (disk recovery) or Photorec (file recovery), both are part of the "testdisk" package in APT
[11:16] <Krised> theadmin thanks
[11:22] <atm_> the computer seems ok but i m curious about that message. I think that is because i have de remote desktop enabled and permission of third's control enabled. One thing that i want to know too is if there is a way to see the content of that notification message in some kind of a history file or some.
[11:22] <anudaasa> i have question, is there posibility, to backup open file ?
[11:23] <anudaasa> atm, aha
[11:23] <anudaasa> atm, maybe log of remote desktop program

[11:39] <vadrao> Hi all, does any one know if the gcc version thats shipped with ubuntu 11.10 comes with openmp support ? I am trying to compile a tool called monitor (http://icl.cs.utk.edu/~mucci/monitor/) and I get the following error. http://pastebin.com/NKw1uu5T
[11:44] <alkamid> does anyone experience this strange behaviour in Oneiric: when I resume from suspension, sometimes it logs me out instead of just resuming
[11:44] <alkamid> I have seen someone reporting a similar problem somewhere, but it hasn't been solved
[11:46] <chroot> hi, how to send mail use command line?
[11:47] <Arnold> vadrao, do you have lib32gomp1 and libgomp1 packages installed?
[11:49] <yurka_> chroot: sendmail
[11:49] <yurka_> or even «mail»
[11:49] <chroot> i tried that , the system want me install a MTA, but i don't know which MTA?
[11:50] <theadmin> chroot: Try mutt if you're using a public mail service
[11:51] <chroot> theadmin, nice see you again, i am installing mutt now.
[11:52] <jrib> chroot: mutt is not an mta, it's a mua.  Try exim, postfix, or sendmail if you want a "full" mail server.  Otherwise, use something like msmtp (you only want to send mail)
[11:52] <theadmin> jrib: (s)he appears to simply want to send mail via a public service
[11:53] <chroot> jrib, i just want to send and recieve mail from command line, so i can't get rid of the GUI.
[11:53] <jrib> chroot: if you want an MTA, mutt is not an mta.  But if you want to simply use google servers to send mail, then yes you can do that through mutt
[11:54] <jrib> (google or some other smtp server)
[11:54] <chroot> jrib, ok, i am trying .
[11:55] <paulus68> how do you backup your windows folders with rsnapshot?
[11:55] <chroot> jrib, Please install an MTA on this system if you want to use sendmail!
[11:55] <chroot> Can't send mail: sendmail process failed with error code 255
[11:55] <chroot> i got this
[11:56] <chroot> warning
[11:56] <paulus68> !enter |chroot
[11:56] <jrib> chroot: if you want to use that command, then you need an MTA.
[11:56] <yurka_> http://giver.pcn.ru/unity-ck.png -- i have such problem with unity, it starts nearly after month of uptime. only reboot fixes it, but i do not want to reboot
[11:57] <chroot> jrib,  which mta should i install, i dont know the name.
[11:57] <yurka_> in some cases dash appears
[11:57] <jrib> chroot: use msmtp
[11:57] <yurka_> many many cases...
[11:57] <villa> probably my gnome-panel is crashed. How could I resolve it?
[12:00] <chroot> jrib, i installed msmtp, then what should i do
[12:00] <jrib> chroot: then read its documentation on how to set it up
[12:01] <chroot> wow, seems a lot of work.
[12:01] <lasher> I would like to install Windows for school. Sda1 is extended for my linux install. Can I install Win7 to sda3 or is it possible to re map the partitions so that sda3 becomes sda1?
[12:02] <paulus68> lasher: best way in my opinion is to start clean install windows first and then linux or use virtualbox to install windows 7 in there
[12:03] <lasher> yeh, i dont want to do that thnx though paul

[12:10] <neopsyche>  hi all.. can anyone help with google earth issue?
[12:10] <MonkeyDust> fabio  type bash
[12:11] <neopsyche> need to edit .conf file but it does not seem to exist yet
[12:11] <neopsyche> ?
[12:11] <jrib> neopsyche: create it?
[12:12] <MonkeyDust> neopsyche  look in ~/.config/Google
[12:13] <neopsyche> jrib: unfortunately the noobness causes me to not know how to get to  ~/.config/Google using both sudo su and ordinary login shows no file
[12:13] <neopsyche> gedit ~/.config/Google/GoogleEarthPlus.conf
[12:13] <neopsyche>   trying this gets blank page?
[12:13] <jrib> neopsyche:  what are you reading that has you looking for this file?
[12:13] <neopsyche> jrib: one moment...
[12:14] <neopsyche> http://www.techdrivein.com/2010/11/easy-fix-for-google-earth-crash-while.html
[12:14] <jrib> neopsyche: if you are creating the file, then you would expect it to be blank
[12:15] <neopsyche> jrib : apparently it has already been created

[12:18] <neopsyche> crizzy thanks
[12:18] <ErvisTusha> vmuser, nvidia ?
[12:18] <neopsyche> crizzy.. help http://www.techdrivein.com/2010/11/easy-fix-for-google-earth-crash-while.html
[12:18] <ErvisTusha> vmuser, overscan ?
[12:18] <h12> hi
[12:19] <h12> heloo whorld :D
[12:19] <neopsyche> crizzy: cant find .conf file
[12:19] <vmuser> virtualbox
[12:19] <vmuser> ErvisTusha: virtualbox
[12:19] <crizzy> create it if it doesn't exist?
[12:19] <h12> whois
[12:20] <neopsyche> crizzy: dont have knowledge of what is needed in file
[12:20] <ErvisTusha> vmuser, have you install guest additions ?
[12:20] <vmuser> yeah I have
[12:21] <crizzy> neopsyche: i haven't used google earth tbh, no idea. however alt-f2and: gedit ~/.config/Google/GoogleEarthPlus.conf <enter>
[12:21] <vmuser> ErvisTusha: Yes I have it's improved performance but nothing has changed resolution wise. With Debian I can just install it and it dynamically changes the resolution to the window
[12:21] <vmuser> Do I have to restart virtualbox itself?
[12:21] <fiki196> guys i need help,whenever i plug/unplugg my power supply for my laptop my ubuntu crashes(there like a console terminal)
[12:21] <Dr_Willis_O_Love> vmuser:  yes I think you would.
[12:22] <Dr_Willis_O_Love> The guest addations basically install a special driver for X to use that supports special features i recall.
[12:22] <vmuser> yeah and I restarted the virtual machine
[12:22] <ErvisTusha> after install you should reboot VM
[12:23] <vmuser> everything but the resolution has improved
[12:23] <neopsyche> it seems i cant access .conf ?
[12:23] <vmuser> and I can't change it above 1024 * 768 on a 1080p monitor
[12:23] <Dr_Willis_O_Love> id check the vbox forum threads and docs,
[12:23] <neopsyche> i dont understand the file system or where the file would be
[12:23] <Dr_Willis_O_Love> I normally run other os's in vbox on ubuntu. not the other way around.
[12:23] <vmuser> ErvisTusha: is there a file I can manually edit?
[12:24] <fiki196> guys i need help,whenever i plug/unplugg my power supply for my laptop my ubuntu crashes(there like a console terminal)
[12:25] <ErvisTusha> vmuser, your guest host is  linux (ubuntu) ?
[12:25] <MonkeyDust> guest host?
[12:25] <ErvisTusha> VM
[12:25] <zvacet> is Ubunut host or guest
[12:26] <neopsyche> anyone help with google earth issue?
[12:26] <vmuser> ErvisTusha: yes
[12:27] <ErvisTusha> gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[12:31] <vmuser> ErvisTusha: no such file exists...
[12:33] <Dr_Willis_O_Love> X auto configures for the most part. so if no xorg.conf exists. it just uses the X defaults
[12:33] <vmuser> Ervis: got it working.. I'm still perplexed as to where my xorg.conf file is
[12:34] <Dr_Willis_O_Love> If it exists /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[12:34] <Baribal> Hi. Yesterday I installed a few synthesizers and, by extension, jackd. Today I try to watch YouTube-videos, to play MP3s and so on, using mplayer and totem, and they just fast-forward through the files without outputting sound. What did I break, and how?
[12:35] <MonkeyDust> vmuser  type locate xorg.conf
[12:35] <neopsyche> ok.. there are a couple of people saying the file does not even exist or is not in that location.. and others saying it is.. http://www.techdrivein.com/2010/11/easy-fix-for-google-earth-crash-while.html
[12:35] <neopsyche> anyone?
[12:35] <jrib> neopsyche: look at the date on what you are reading?
[12:36] <Dr_Willis_O_Love> it does NOT have to exist neopsyche  - If it does. X uses it.. if it does not X auto configures
[12:36] <neopsyche> dr willis.. not sure if i understand
[12:36] <Dr_Willis_O_Love> X can use a minmal xorg.conf to tweak specific settings.
[12:36] <Dr_Willis_O_Love> neopsyche:  it does NOT have to exist.. whats not to understand?
[12:36] <jrib> neopsyche: anyway, create the file and put what that site says.  If it works, great.  If not then either the file location moved, tha "fix" does not apply to your situation, or the configuration option changed
[12:36] <Dr_Willis_O_Love> It can be there, or not.
[12:36] <neopsyche> jrib: yes but i am using 10.4
[12:37] <jrib> neopsyche: google earth version would be relevant not ubuntu version
[12:37] <neopsyche> dr willis.. I need the file to disable google earth tips which crashes google earth on 10.4
[12:37] <neopsyche> jrib: oh i see
[12:37] <vmuser> Does anyone know how to get tabbed browsing in ubuntu 11.0?
[12:37] <hydester> i just installed xubuntu 11.10 via USB to a new matchine (SATA 3g drive on P8Z68-V LX MB).  at reboot i just get a blinking cursor and no shift or anything gets me in.  i can boot via USB and can see my install.  is there anything funny when running on SATA?
[12:37] <Dr_Willis_O_Love> neopsyche:  then you need to create  it.
[12:37] <neopsyche> jrib: latest.
[12:37] <Dr_Willis_O_Love> vmuser:  most browsers support tabbed browseing these days.
[12:38] <fidel> vmuser: tabbed browsing as in?
[12:38] <vmuser> Sorry, I mean tabbed consoles
[12:38] <fidel> vmuser: depends on the terminal you use
[12:38] <hydester> vmuser - ctrl-shift-T ?
[12:38] <MonkeyDust> idd
[12:38] <Dr_Willis_O_Love> vmuser:  theres differnt terminal-emulators that support it also. gnome-terminal does. I perfer terminator.
[12:38] <neopsyche> ok.. i see there is a group about this on google .. perhaps there is an answer there
[12:38] <Dr_Willis_O_Love> many of the old-scool ones do not. ie: xterm, rxvterm
[12:38] <vmuser> sexy!
[12:39] <vmuser> Thankyou
[12:39] <Dr_Willis_O_Love> the default gnome-terminal has tabs. :) terminator expands on gnome-terminals features
[12:41] <Kartagis> is it possible to take a screenshot with any menu open?
[12:42] <MonkeyDust> Kartagis  open a menu and press PrtSc
[12:42] <Baribal> Kartagis, should be trivial by pressing "Print screen".
[12:42] <jatt> of course
[12:42] <glebihan> Kartagis, open the screenshot tool and use a timeout
[12:43] <Kartagis> MonkeyDust, Baribal: I've tried, no luck
[12:43] <jatt> set the timeout, trigger the screenshot, open the menu
[12:43] <jatt> no?
[12:44] <Kartagis> hmm, it worked, thanks

[13:01] <MeanEYE__> I am missing python module named gnome.ui in 11.10. I need ThumbnailFactory class from there. Any other way of getting since this module is not available anymore?
[13:02] <MonkeyDust> !info guile-gnome2-gnome-ui
[13:02] <kelvin> hi
[13:03] <MonkeyDust> MeanEYE__  developer question?
[13:04] <MeanEYE__> MonkeyDust, Yeah. Pretty much. I used that class and now it's missing. Anyway of getting it from non-gnome2 libs?
[13:05] <kelvin> hi
[13:06] <MonkeyDust> kelvin  4 times you said hi, do you have a question?
[13:06] <kelvin> yes
[13:06] <kelvin> i have ubuntu 11.10
[13:06] <kelvin> in which i couldnt found /etc/host
[13:06] <kelvin> should it be there ?
[13:06] <MonkeyDust> MeanEYE__  "#python Channel is open."
[13:06] <MeanEYE__> kelvin, it's /etc/hosts (with s)

[13:09] <RKyle> Hi, is it possible to recover a password remotely on Ubuntu Server?
[13:10] <uw_> how are connected to the server?
[13:10] <RKyle> ssh
[13:10] <kelvin> i have ubuntu 11.10 in which i could nt found /etc/hosts... only two option is there -- hal and hp
[13:10] <Krised> I would think that you could just set a new password ? unless the users homedir is crypted
[13:10] <uw_> and you are logged in?
[13:10] <RKyle> I have access to a non-admin account but my account with root access I forgot the password to.
[13:11] <uw_> do you have another system on there you can chroot into?
[13:11] <Krised> RKyle then i dont think its possible. Youd have to have physical access to it.
[13:11] <kelvin> i have ubuntu 11.10 in which i could nt found /etc/hosts... only two option is there -- hal and hp
[13:11] <kalgecin> kelvin, reinstall
[13:12] <RKyle> Krised, I keep reading about the physical access method but I'm 1,700 miles away. =(
[13:12] <kelvin> what should i reinstall ??? whole OS
[13:12] <uw_> yes kelvin
[13:13] <MonkeyDust> RKyle  scroll down : http://www.computing.net/answers/linux/linux-user-and-password-recovery/28701.html
[13:14] <kalgecin> kelvin, yes the whole OS
[13:14] <RKyle> MonkeyDust, Scroll down to what?
[13:14] <kalgecin> kelvin, /etc has about 270 files
[13:15] <MonkeyDust> RKyle  to the Knoppix part, i guess you can use any live cd, the page dates from 2006
[13:15] <Zw> Hi!
[13:15] <uw_> yes?
[13:15] <Zw> ;)
[13:15] <RKyle> MonkeyDust, I don't currently have physical access.

[13:16] <walid_> i'm kind of noob to ubuntu, and i need some help for network configuration(smth i need done fast, i can't really google everyting..)
[13:16] <Krised> walid what do you need to know ?
[13:16] <walid_> i plugged the ethernet cable to my mac

[13:19] <_zw_> uw_ sorry i disconnected
[13:19] <_zw_> What is the difference betweed adduser and useradd?
[13:20] <_zw_> Adduser makes home dir and everything?
[13:20] <Krised> _zw_ yes
[13:20] <Krised> it does
[13:20] <Zw> tnx
[13:20] <Krised> once the user is logging in.
[13:21] <Zw> and when im going to install mysql, sould i install mysql or mysql server?
[13:21] <Krised> so if you delete the users homedir then it just creates it again
[13:21] <bentkus> yeah
[13:22] <Zw> whats the difference between mysql and mysql server?
[13:23] <uw_> hi is there a way to be alerted when a user signs out of this channel?
[13:23] <Zw> uw_: I think u can use the highlight function in mIRC
[13:23] <MonkeyDust> it's hilight
[13:23] <Zw> sorry, hilight* ;)
[13:24] <uw_> hilight
[13:24] <Zw> adduser: Please enter a username matching the regular expression configured
[13:24] <Zw> via the NAME_REGEX[_SYSTEM} configuration variable.  Use the `--force-badname'
[13:24] <Zw> option to relax this check or reconfigure NAME_REGEX.
[13:24] <Zw> i get when adding a user, but i have the username on another ubuntu server :s
[13:25] <uw_> Zw, MonkeyDust i dont see where to use this hilight feature?  x-chat gnome right?
[13:25] <Zw> uw_ not sure, I use "mIRC"
[13:25] <MonkeyDust> uw_  try hilight [username]
[13:26] <MonkeyDust> uw_  try /hilight [username]
[13:26] <uw_> unknown command :(
[13:26] <MonkeyDust> mIRC is a windows client, no?
[13:27] <uw_> yea i use xchat, because it came with gnome (you know, in ubuntu)
[13:27] <Krised> MonkeyDust yes it is.. icechat is the one for linux.
[13:27] <Krised> ah yeah i meant xchat.. its for both actually
[13:28] <Pici> Zw: What is the exact command you are using when you try to add your user?
[13:29] <Zw> adduser
[13:29] <Zw> but i just used another username ^^
[13:30] <eldereko> hey guys, i have a question
[13:30] <theadmin> eldereko: Ask it
[13:31] <eldereko> somone setup a new ubuntu oneric box and added me a user, however whenever i am prompted for authentication in gnome it asks for the other users' password instead of mine
[13:31] <eldereko> ie, like when changing system settings or isntalling drivers
[13:32] <jrib> eldereko: what does « groups » in a terminal return?
[13:33] <eldereko> admin lpadmin plugindev cdrom users
[13:33] <jrib> eldereko: don't know then
[13:34] <llutz> eldereko: and "whoami" returns what?
[13:34] <eldereko> my username
[13:34] <jrib> wait, since when does ubuntu use "users"?
[13:35] <Zw> How to copy a folder from one server to another? its xxx GB
[13:35] <llutz> usergroup missing instead, disabled maybe?
[13:35] <llutz> Zw: scp -r dir/ user@host:/targetpath
[13:35] <MonkeyDust> Zw  use scp
[13:36] <Zw> kk
[13:36] <MonkeyDust> Zw  but rsync is faster than (s)cp
[13:37] <icarus-c> using compression may help too
[13:37] <icarus-c> you know, the ssh option
[13:38] <UidX> what's 550/2 ?
[13:39] <llutz> 225
[13:39] <llutz> 275
[13:39] <walid_> ok i'm back :) solved half of my problems :)
[13:43] <consola005> hi all, i have a question: if i turn odd rsync and the system need the service, ubuntu start alone the service or i must to turn on the service? and with the saned service?
[13:44] <Baribal> Hi again. I still have the problem that any media player I tested (totem, mplayer) runs through every video file at about 10 times normal speed, and neither video nor audio files produce audio output. How do I even go about debugging that?
[13:46] <MonkeyDust> Baribal  open a terminal and type alsamixer, if you see MM (mute), go there and type m
[13:47] <theadmin> Baribal: Video driver, likely.
[13:47] <theadmin> Though no
[13:47] <theadmin> Hm
[13:47] <theadmin> Baribal: Never mind what I just said, that's not it
[13:48] <Zw> What is proper command to create a new mysql user?
[13:49] <Baribal> MonkeyDust, nope, no change, the player still runs through the file too fast, still no audio, normal or otherwise.
[13:49] <llutz> Zw: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/adding-users.html
[13:49] <kohta_the_maid> "Compatible Nvidia X driver not found.  Cannot initialize GLX extension."  Suggested drivers for my video card haven't worked properly.  Is this because I'm using an Nvidia video card for laptops?
[13:49] <Zw> Tnx llutz
[13:49] <kohta_the_maid> Gets a little frustrating sometimes.
[13:52] <johtso> How can I get dnotify? I doesn't seem to be in the repositories..
[13:52] <johtso> *it
[13:53] <MonkeyDust> johtso  dnotify has been replaced by inotify
[13:53] <johtso> MonkeyDust: ah, thanks!
[13:54] <kohta_the_maid> http://fossies.org/unix/privat/dnotify-0.18.0.tar.gz/
[13:54] <MonkeyDust> !info inotify-tools
[13:58] <johtso> MonkeyDust: hmm, inotify doesn't give you a command line tool to execute a command each time an event occurs?
[13:59] <MonkeyDust> johtso  "dnotify is a file system event monitor for the Linux kernel, one of the subfeatures of the fcntl call. It was introduced in the 2.4 kernel series[1]. It has been obsoleted by inotify, but will be retained for compatibility reasons."
[14:00] <johtso> MonkeyDust: "will be retained for compatibility reasons"?
[14:00] <johtso> would I need to try an install dnotify if I want that functionality?
[14:01] <theadmin> !find dnotify
[14:01] <MonkeyDust> follow the link that kohta gave you ^
[14:01] <theadmin> huh...
[14:02] <theadmin> johtso: I tend to beleive that "dnotify" would be a part of inotify-tools, but I suggest you learn to use inotify because it's considered to be better
[14:02] <johtso> theadmin: ah right, so I'll need to do a while .. do .. with inotify
[14:03] <myrek> eloo
[14:03] <norberto> how can I group fields into a fieldset in a node edit form by code?
[14:04] <MonkeyDust> norberto  what code?
[14:10] <arooni-mobile> is there a supported WWAN card for ubuntu 11.10; i have a thinkpad t420.
[14:13] <johtso> theadmin: do you have any idea why the "modify" event would be triggered twice each time the file is changed?
[14:14] <theadmin> johtso: Hm, honestly no, I'm not familiar with inotify at all
[14:14] <johtso> ( using inotifywait -m -e modify .)
[14:14] <johtso> ah, okay
[14:14] <theadmin> arooni-mobile: WWAN being what exactly? I heard of "WLAN" and "WAN", but not "WWAN" :D
[14:15] <theadmin> arooni-mobile: Things like GPRS you mean?
[14:15] <MonkeyDust> wwan is wireless wan
[14:16] <llutz> which says nothing
[14:17] <MonkeyDust> arooni-mobile  http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:T420
[14:17] <Zw> I have installed phpmyadmin, all looks ok, but i cant access through web :s
[14:18] <Zw> is it a ip setup accepting only given ips?
[14:18] <theadmin> Zw: You sure apache is running?
[14:18] <Zw> theadmin: ye, i can access the dommain so
[14:18] <Zw> It works! msg
[14:18] <theadmin> llutz: If that's the case, the binary you're looking for is not in $PATH?
[14:19] <llutz> theadmin: huh?
[14:19] <theadmin> Zw: Hm, uh, can you access http://yourdomain/phpmyadmin ?
[14:19] <arooni-mobile> MonkeyDust, theadmin i mean a card i can put data sim cards into when i'm in another country
[14:19] <llutz> arooni-mobile: so 3g/hsdpa  you mean
[14:19] <Zw> theadmin: The requested URL /phpmyadmin was not found on this server.
[14:20] <arooni-mobile> llutz, yes;  ideally with the ability to do the verizon type networks as well
[14:20] <MonkeyDust> Zw  it's an ip address you need to enter
[14:20] <Zw> maby Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf
[14:20] <theadmin> llutz: I wasn't really looking but you just said "which says nothing" so... err... I see what you mean now, I thought you meant "which" as in /bin/which
[14:20] <arooni-mobile> llutz, i want to buy one; but i dont know what
[14:21] <theadmin> Zw: Hm... probably just installing pma isn't enough, you want to link htdocs/phpmyadmin to the install dir (or set up an alias)
[14:22] <celthunder> Zw: you really don't want pma available to the public just so you know
[14:22] <Zw> celthunder why not? Have always had it ;P
[14:22] <Zw> and it is standard on all webhotels for public
[14:23]  * theadmin lols at the term webhotel
[14:23] <theadmin> You mean webhost
[14:23] <theadmin> :P
[14:24] <Zw> webhost yes :P
[14:24] <StepNjump> hi guys, my pdf writer writes to a .pdf file but then I cannot view what it wrote so i would like to know how to desinstall it so I could reinstall it again
[14:24] <Zw> sorry not englishman ;P
[14:24] <jatt> reinstalling will fix the problem?
[14:24] <shaneo> hey guys have a huge problem here: dpkg: error: cannot scan updates directory `/var/lib/dpkg/updates/': No such file or directory
[14:24] <shaneo> E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)
[14:25] <unop> shaneo,  try creating the directory.   sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/dpkg/updates/
[14:26] <shaneo> lol was just thinking that
[14:26] <Oxymoron> Which channel to ask help regarding C and socket/pipe programming? Do not get any help in ##programming or ##C channels?
[14:26] <villa> good evening
[14:26] <shaneo> worked great thanks
[14:26] <theadmin> Oxymoron: Only those, likely, well, you can ask in #ubuntu-devel if you're developing for Ubuntu
[14:27] <LjL> Oxymoron: socket/pipes sound like POSIX context, try also ##posix
[14:28] <Oxymoron> LjL: Tried in there as well, it is quite DEAD channel unfortunatly.
[14:28] <jatt> !c
[14:28] <jbs>  =
[14:28] <Oxymoron> theadmin: Not developing for ubuntu, developing for a stupid teacher wants us todo sockets in C xD
[14:28] <theadmin> Oxymoron: lol...
[14:29] <ikonia> Oxymoron: those are the right channels, and #c is active, so try again
[14:29] <Oxymoron> ikonia: Last time I tried I was rejected ... and pointed forward to posix ...
[14:29] <ikonia> Oxymoron: well, not something we can help with here, good luck with it
[14:29] <Oxymoron> No one seems to like me ... xD
[14:29] <MonkeyDust> #ubuntu-devel does not provide support
[14:30] <celthunder> Zw: insecure, same reasons you don't allow the world to connect to your mysql server
[14:30] <arooni-mobile> does the gobi 3000 wireless card work on ubuntu 11.10?
[14:31] <Zw> celthunder: how to make it only aviable from localhost?
[14:31] <Zw> change to ip <IP_ADDRESS> in mysql config?
[14:33] <MestreLion_> hi! Question: how can I view/list my *current* ssh server settings?
[14:34] <llutz> MestreLion_: less 7etc/ssh/sshd_confif
[14:34] <ikonia> MestreLion_: look in the sshd_config file
[14:34] <Zw> how to change the name of the server?
[14:34] <ikonia> Zw: change /etc/nodename and /etc/hosts
[14:34] <fidel> Zw: talking about hostnames?
[14:34] <Zw> yes, tnx u
[14:35] <MestreLion_> llutz / ikonia those are not the current settings... for example, XForwarding is commented-out... so how do I know what is the current value ?
[14:35] <MestreLion_> llutz / ikonia I mean, the ones that are really effective?
[14:36] <ikonia> MestreLion_: you need to stop/start the sshd server to get it to re-parse the file
[14:36] <ikonia> MestreLion_: then you know the current settings are what is in the file
[14:36] <cloudgeek> how to extract a gzip file
[14:36] <ikonia> cloudgeek: gunzip
[14:37] <cloudgeek> okay like gunzip filename
[14:37] <cloudgeek> ikonia gunzip ruby.gz
[14:37] <rick_> hi all any one know a good place to talk processor logic  what channel
[14:37] <MonkeyDust> cloudgeek  type man gzip for information
[14:37] <MestreLion_> ikonia: that still wont tell me what are the effective values of the setings that are commented out
[14:37] <cloudgeek> okay
[14:37] <ikonia> rick_: sorry no, this isn't a a yellow pages of channels
[14:37] <yannf> hello
[14:38] <ikonia> MestreLion_: yes it will, as anything that is commented out in the config file will be default
[14:38] <yannf> I am looking for a tool to restrict network usage for a specific software
[14:38] <Steevca> I am having a problem with TP-LINK TF-3200,i cant seem to get a connection.
[14:38] <yannf> much like nice for CPU usage
[14:38] <ikonia> MestreLion_: if you are unsure of what the default value is, set the vale in the config file
[14:38] <rick_> this is the only decent line of communication i have pal so what do you expect
[14:38] <Zw> how to add a sudoer easy?

[14:38] <windows7> Hi. can someone help me, i don't know how to install windows XP
[14:38] <LjL> windows7: how is that related to Ubuntu?
[14:39] <ikonia> windows7: the guys in ##windows (channel) can help you
[14:39] <ikonia> windows7: /join ##windows and ask the windows support teams
[14:39] <windows7> no, you can help me
[14:39] <mneptok> rick_: the expectation of every user is that this channel is used for support questions specific to Ubuntu
[14:39] <ikonia> windows7: no - we won't. ask in ##windows, or don't ask again
[14:39] <MonkeyDust> windows7  wrong channel
[14:39] <Ubuntu11_10> i asked how to install ubuntu 11.10
[14:39] <ikonia> !install | Ubuntu11_10
[14:40] <rick_> ok sorry
[14:40] <StepNjump> Is it normal that pdf created on ubuntu cannot be read by other computers under windows?
[14:40] <LjL> StepNjump: no
[14:41] <StepNjump> ok thanks LjL
[14:41] <Zw> how to add a sudoer easy?
[14:41] <MonkeyDust> Zw  visudo
[14:42] <ikonia> Zw: create a user in the admin group
[14:42] <llutz> Zw: sudo adduser username admin
[14:43] <Zw> visudo works fine , tnx
[14:44] <LjL> Zw: it's also unnecessary in most cases, since there is the admin group for that purpose
[14:44] <Zw> ah ok
[14:44] <MestreLion_> ikonia: the commented  lines are not necessarily the default settings... actually, its the opposite: for example, "# ForwardX11 no"  , when the current effective value is YES
[14:45] <chiiiiiz> hello!!!
[14:45] <ikonia> MestreLion_: they are the default values, and as I've said, if you are unsure, uncomment them in the config file and force them
[14:46] <chiiiiiz> where can  I find the menu "favourite applications" with Unity and Ubuntu 11.10? I want to change the audio player, without changing it manually for eau kind of file
[14:46] <chiiiiiz> It used to be in Preferences with Gnome2
[14:46] <theadmin> chiiiiiz: It's called "prefered applications" and it still exists
[14:46] <theadmin> Or "preferred" or "preffered" or... I keep forgetting the right way to spell the word
[14:47] <chiiiiiz> I must be blind, so?
[14:47] <chiiiiiz> where did you find it?
[14:47] <theadmin> chiiiiiz: Just type the first few letters in the search bar. Or probably open the control center thingy
[14:47] <chiiiiiz> I did, this is why I adk!!
[14:48] <MonkeyDust> chiiiiiz  system info in the control center
[14:48] <MonkeyDust> system settings - system info
[14:49] <chiiiiiz> MonkeyDust: OK, found it... I would never have thought to look in here... thx
[14:49] <chiiiiiz> gmusicbrowser is notlisted in the applications to choose from... though I am using it as we speak... how can I modify thatN
[14:50] <theadmin> chiiiiiz: You can use "custom", I think.
[14:50] <MonkeyDust> maybe gmuscibrowser has its own option to 'set as default'
[14:51] <chiiiiiz> theadmin: nope, no custom vlaue to be chosen
[14:51] <chiiiiiz> MonkeyDust: not that I can recall... but I may be blin d... agin
[14:51] <theadmin> chiiiiiz: Ah, hm, you can try to manually edit gconf/dconf or use update-alternatives... hm.
[14:52] <chiiiiiz> the admin: where is the key I must modify in dconf-editor?
[14:53] <MonkeyDust> chiiiiiz  in gmusicbrowser, up, right is this little wheel-thingy
[14:55] <lolufail> hi!
[14:55] <lolufail> am I googling this correctly, there are no packages that contain a fix for CVE-2012-0830 ?!
[14:57] <sarimkhan> Hello guys, Is it possible to run Unity in 3D mode inside vmware fusion ?
[14:59] <Pici> lolufail: Doesn't look like its been looked at yet.  You can keep an eye on this page to see when it does: http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/2012/CVE-2012-0830.html
[14:59] <lolufail> :D
[14:59] <lolufail> interesting, since you can easily get a shell via javascript ;)
[15:00] <sarimkhan> Is there any (unofficial) 3D acceleration enabled graphics driver for vmware ?
[15:01] <R1ROOT> grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
[15:01] <lolufail> sarimkhan: https://encrypted.google.com/search?q=vmware+ubuntu+3d
[15:01] <Dr_Willis_O_Love> sarimkhan:  vmware and vbox have some limited 3d support. You may want to check the askubuntu.com site to see how unity works with vmware.
[15:01] <Dr_Willis_O_Love> i only use vbox.
[15:02] <theadmin> sarimkhan: None I heard of, but Virtualbox works great and has an official driver for that. Tryzit!
[15:02] <lolufail> -.- this really is the first hit... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1531911
[15:02] <theadmin> Dr_Willis_O_Love: Are you Dr_Willis or are you just someone with a similar nickname, anyhow?
[15:02] <sarimkhan> @lolufail I did searched google, lol, the results states its not possible, though i was wondering if there has been any recent update.
[15:03] <lolufail> sarimkhan: oh, you want ubuntu as guest. sry nevermind
[15:03] <Dr_Willis_O_Love> theadmin:  its dr_willis :) im testing out the web chat interface today
[15:03] <theadmin> Dr_Willis_O_Love: Ah, don't bother :D It's not all that great
[15:04] <Dr_Willis_O_Love> Working fine for me so far.
[15:04] <Dr_Willis_O_Love> now that i figured out how to make the fonts bigger
[15:04] <Dr_Willis_O_Love> but it seems to have scrolling issues when i enlarge the font
[15:08] <StepNjump> Anyone here familiar with pdf writer?
[15:09] <MonkeyDust> !anyone| StepNjump
[15:12] <dyd> guys
[15:12] <dyd> how can i update my ati drivers?
[15:13] <StepNjump> Adobe Reader could not open 'output.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged.
[15:13] <MonkeyDust> dyd  have you tried sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade ?
[15:13] <ikonia> dyd: this may sound a silly question, but why do you want to ?
[15:14] <dyd> ikonia, quake live has low fps on certain maps (i've already set everything to minimum) but on windows i had always 125fps
[15:14] <dyd> ikonia, i don't know why this should happen
[15:14] <ikonia> dyd: windows is not ubuntu
[15:14] <dyd> ikonia, thanks for the hint
[15:16] <ikonia> dyd: you can't expect things to function the same, especially without open drivers like ati
[15:16] <dyd> ikonia, i just wondered if it could be a driver issue
[15:18] <theadmin> dyd: It likely is
[15:19] <imbezol> dyd: isn't quake live flash driven?
[15:19] <qt-dsa> hello can somebody tell me what Tun TAP is, i've read online but still vconfused
[15:19] <qt-dsa> is it like already setup VPN server ?
[15:19] <imbezol> dyd: i'd blame he lousy flash implementation on linux.. it's always been problematic
[15:19] <dyd> imbezol, i see
[15:19] <naptastic> How would I roll back an update that broke something? (Current Firefox is crashing constantly; I just want to go back to the version I had installed before.)
[15:20] <imbezol> dyd: do some testing with quake 4 or something. i've never had problems
[15:20] <imbezol> dyd: several friends and i played a lot with both ati and nvidia cards
[15:20] <qt-dsa> what is tun TAP what can i do with it ?
[15:21] <Oer> naptastic, you could try delete the firefox folder first > ~/.mozilla/firefox
[15:22] <naptastic> Oer, not a bad idea, and since I have sync, not a problem either.
[15:22] <Oer> naptastic, that would delete damages or incorrect settings
[15:23] <bhearsum> i just installed the 'python-pydot' module, but i still can't import 'pydot' in python. digging a bit, i see a few files in /usr/share/python-support/python-pydot, but that directory isn't in my sys.path. what's the right way to get this module importable?
[15:24] <codeperl2> hello
[15:24] <myschak> o/
[15:25] <bhearsum> d'oh, looks like my virtualenv is what's screwing things up
[15:25] <codeperl2> i want to do everything with command in ubuntu. so, is there any books on ubuntu from which i learn commands for beginners to expert level
[15:25] <codeperl2> ?
[15:25] <bhearsum> why does creating a virtualenv with --no-site-packages prevent me from using python-pydot, though?
[15:25] <haslap> Can anyone help me with a shell script? I have it pretty much done but I forgot about duplicate entries? It's a small shell script that exports the rows from a .csv file into individual .csv files (1200 entries = 1200 .csv files) and names the file to the value of column 9. This is my code currently. ;
[15:25] <haslap> FILE=ss.csv; COLNO=9; END=$(wc -l "$FILE" | awk '{ print $1 }'); for i in $(seq 1 "$END"); do sed -n "$i"p "$FILE" > $(sed -n "$i"p "$FILE" | cut -d ',' --fields="$COLNO").csv; done
[15:26] <codeperl2> i want to do everything with command in ubuntu. so, is there any books on ubuntu from which i learn commands for beginners to expert level
[15:26] <codeperl2> ?
[15:26] <suntzu> I want to replace my Ubuntu with Kubuntu. Currently running three partitions with Win7 and Ubuntu with GRUB as boot manager. Will formatting the ubuntu partition and installing kubuntu on it mess anything up with the Win7 part?
[15:27] <Pici> haslap: #bash might be a more appropriate place to ask this.
[15:27] <rumpe1> suntzu, why not just install kde-desktop?
[15:28] <suntzu> rumpe1, will that be an equivalent?
[15:28] <Oer> codeperl2, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal && https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommandlineHowto && https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/basic-commands/C/   are a good start
[15:28] <rumpe1> suntzu, it would be very similar. kubuntu is just ubuntu with the kde desktop as the default one.
[15:29] <suntzu> rumpe1, no other features missing?
[15:29] <codeperl2> thank your Oer
[15:29] <rumpe1> suntzu, you could install any missing feature the usual way. There are several kde-desktop (meta)packages ... don't know the name of the "full" desktop though.
[15:30] <suntzu> rumpe1, Yeah, I want to migrate because I don't like Unity. perhaps that's the easiest way, didn't know it was possible to just change desktop like that. So I will still be able to run Unity if I'd feel like? (from the login screen)
[15:30] <rumpe1> suntzu, sure. kde will be added to the sessions in the login manager.
[15:30] <suntzu> rumpe1, perfect, thanks!
[15:30] <rumpe1> suntzu, you're welcome
[15:34] <bobenhaus> has anyone used ubuntu tweak?
[15:34] <MonkeyDust> bobenhaus  yes me
[15:34] <ikonia> yes, it's the devils tool
[15:34] <bobenhaus> How do you guys like it?
[15:34] <MonkeyDust> i use it for the janitor only
[15:34] <bobenhaus> yeah me2
[15:34] <ikonia> it's not a very good tool, and can cause problems
[15:34] <ikonia> there is no reason to use it beyond the official ubuntu tools
[15:34] <bobenhaus> ikonia: any alternatives?
[15:36] <ikonia> bobenhaus: to do what
[15:36] <bobenhaus> ikonia: cleanup
[15:37] <codeperl2> i have a directory which contains a file. I want to remove the directory by command. How can i do that?
[15:37] <ikonia> bobenhaus: cleaning up what ?
[15:38] <llutz> codeperl2: rm -rf /directory        be carefull, it won't ask
[15:38] <MonkeyDust> bobenhaus  janitor is an ubuntu program
[15:38] <bobenhaus> ikonia: temp system files
[15:38] <rumpe1> codeperl2, rm -rf <nameofdir>
[15:38] <ikonia> bobenhaus: remove the from /tmp
[15:38] <codeperl2> -rf what is it?
[15:38] <bobenhaus> monkeydust: Thanks
[15:38] <codeperl2> what it means actually?
[15:38] <llutz> codeperl2: read "man rm"
[15:38] <codeperl2> ok
[15:38] <bobenhaus> ikonia: YOu said there are ubuntu tools that are native to the system?
[15:38] <esuave> remove recursively, and force.
[15:38] <codeperl2> thanks rumpel and llutz
[15:38] <ikonia> bobenhaus: yes, you just remove the files in /tmp to remove temp files
[15:39] <bobenhaus> ikonia: I heard from others that the tmp files should be kept
[15:39] <bobenhaus> is that true?
[15:39] <ikonia> then why do you want to clean them ?
[15:39] <bobenhaus> ikonia: to keep my system optimized
[15:40] <ikonia> bobenhaus: how will removing /tmp files optimise your system
[15:40] <bobenhaus> ikonia: Dunno someone from this channel said to becareful when removing files from /temp
[15:41] <MonkeyDust> bobenhaus  there's also bleachbit
[15:41] <bobenhaus> monkeydust: thanks.
[15:41] <ikonia> bobenhaus: that's all the clean up script does, is remove temp files, so it's no different if you do it, or use a 3rd party tool
[15:41] <bobenhaus> ikonia: ok thanks. I will keep that in mind.
[15:42] <Steel_Regin> anyone know how to retrieve my password from nick
[15:42] <rumpe1> bobenhaus, if the tmp files are still in use, keeping them for a bit longer is maybe a good idea. ;)
[15:42] <bobenhaus> rumpe1: true :)
[15:43] <MonkeyDust> bobenhaus  or do you mean ~/.cache ?
[15:43] <bobenhaus> monkeydust: nah /tmp
[15:44] <utente123> http://xdcc_CANCEL_X1328542976
[15:46] <bobenhaus> ahh I just found a way to show the advance permission inside the filemanager.  :)
[15:46] <MonkeyDust> \o/
[15:46] <Steel_Regin> anyone??? retrieve password from nick?
[15:46] <Steel_Regin> i tried sendpass and says i am not authorized
[15:47] <EvilResistance> Steel_Regin, you mean for nickserv?
[15:47] <Steel_Regin> yes
[15:47] <EvilResistance> Steel_Regin, if for nickserv, join #freenode and ask for a passcode reset
[15:47] <Steel_Regin> thanks Evil. i will give it a shot
[15:48] <codeperl2> i get some online documents from you to learn ubuntu commands
[15:48] <codeperl2> thank you
[15:49] <codeperl2> but is there any books from where i can learn ubuntu11.04 commands very well? any experience you all? can you please share more?
[15:51] <czardoz> codeperl2: better get a linux book rather than one dedicated to ubuntu 11.04... it'll help you understand ubuntu better
[15:51] <EvilResistance> Steel_Regin, freenode staff has to send you the reset email, thats why you have to do /join #freenode and ask staff there for a reset :)
[15:53] <codeperl2> czardoz, so which one? I have a little bit of time to learn this. so, can you please suggest
[15:53] <miko_mirane> I need help with dapper
[15:53] <MonkeyDust> dapper?
[15:53] <miko_mirane> is this the right channel?
[15:53] <theadmin> !find dapper
[15:53] <MonkeyDust> is this the right year?
[15:54] <theadmin> miko_mirane: Sounds like it is something that may be found in Ubuntu repos, so you can try asking here indeed
[15:54] <miko_mirane> okay
[15:54] <theadmin> miko_mirane: Although if the software has a channel of it's own, it's best to just ask there
[15:54] <miko_mirane> well, i need to update apt
[15:54] <miko_mirane> in dapper
[15:54] <miko_mirane> and I don't think using the old-releases repository helps
[15:55] <M4d3L> hi. in command line, is there a way to search in all file of directory and subdirectory?
[15:55] <MonkeyDust> M4d3L  combine find with grep
[15:55] <czardoz> codeperl2: maybe you should ask google :D
[15:55] <theadmin> M4d3L: Could you rephrase that? The answer is yes, but your question doesn't make much sense though
[15:56] <theadmin> miko_mirane: Oh, Dapper as in the release... Sorry, we don't support EOL stuff here and that's, well, WAY old
[15:56] <M4d3L> theadmin:  I have lot of PHP file and I search a string somewhere in all that ton of file
[15:57] <theadmin> M4d3L: Hm, ah, sure... grep --with-filename /path/to/folder/*.php
[15:57] <miko_mirane> okay, but do you guys know of a channel for openthinclient?
[15:57] <theadmin> M4d3L: I mean, grep --with-filename /path/to/folder/*.php "string to search for"
[15:58] <M4d3L> theadmin:  how I group it with find to search in subdirectory?
[15:59] <Guest14323> i don't understand what the hell has happened to KDE plasma 4.7.2 when i upgraded my system to 11.10

[15:59] <FloodBot1> swap-off: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:59] <theadmin> M4d3L: Ah... hm, try something like this: find your_directory -type f -iname '*.php' -exec grep -H '{}' "string to search for" \;

[16:04] <theadmin> fabiobik: You don't need to paste that so many times. There's your problem :P What do you expect if your $PS1 is set to just $?
[16:07] <jag> is it possible to setup raid1 on normal ubuntu?(11.10, and not server edition)

[16:09] <rb26> Hi All, I just recently installed Linux Mint 12 with the GNOME 3 interface. I open the terminal and the only thing that I see is a blink bar and I type commands and nothing happens!!!!! HELP!!!
[16:09] <compdoc> I use qemu-kvm. have done for a long time
[16:10] <MonkeyDust> !mint| rb26
[16:10] <hatchetjack> Permission denied chardev: opening backend "socket" failed
[16:10] <hatchetjack> cannot create VMs
[16:10] <compdoc> have yuu rebooted since install?
[16:10] <compdoc> you
[16:10] <hatchetjack> no
[16:11] <compdoc> you should
[16:11] <hatchetjack> I've logged out and back in
[16:11] <hatchetjack> why must I reboot?
[16:11] <rb26> Thanks!!!
[16:11] <compdoc> try it
[16:11] <hatchetjack> okay
[16:14] <loganrun> does anyone know how to stop ubuntu from maximizing the window to the wrong workspace. if the window is mostly off the bottom of the screen for example it maximizes it to the workspace below not the active workspace
[16:14] <loganrun> very annoying. I was finally able to disable ubuntu from maximizing the window when you are just dragging it around. does anyone really like that feature
[16:15] <loganrun> anyone online today?
[16:15] <theadmin> loganrun: I like that feature myself and, actually, most desktops have that. Windows does that too
[16:16] <loganrun> does mac?
[16:16] <roberto_> ciao
[16:16] <MonkeyDust> list
[16:16] <roberto_> hello
[16:16] <theadmin> loganrun: If you drag the window to the top border of the screen, it gets maximized. Makes sense to me. I have no idea about OS X.
[16:16] <roberto_> !list
[16:16] <MonkeyDust> :)
[16:16] <loganrun> no it doesn't and ubuntu probably copied the feature from windows 7
[16:16] <theadmin> What is it with those italians triggering !list
[16:17] <theadmin> loganrun: Actually, it's much more likely that Microsoft copied it from some Linux. All they ever do is steal from OS X and us anyway :P
[16:17] <showtime> dont speak bad words like w7 !
[16:17] <MonkeyDust> theadmin  LjL explained: italians have no internet culture
[16:17] <loganrun> it results in non intuative behavior, if I am just arranging my windows why the heck do I want it suddenly maximize and obsecure the others, makes no sense
[16:17] <loganrun> theadmin, possible
[16:18] <Sach> Is there a way to retrieve a corrupted Tomboy note? I was typing it whehn I suddenly had a power failure, and now the note won't open.
[16:18] <hatchetjack> compdoc: what would you suggest in the event that a reboot does not fix it?
[16:18] <loganrun> anyway that was fixable, but can't figure out how to stop it from maximizing to the wrong workspace
[16:23] <theadmin> Sach: Well. If you're looking for file recovery tools try photorec. Just filter it to whatever kind of files tomboy stores notes in and go ahead...
[16:24] <theadmin> loganrun: If it maximizes to a wrong workspace it sounds like a bug, please consider reporting it.
[16:24] <dury> hi there all :)
[16:25] <MonkeyDust> loganrun  or drag it to the correct monitor, close and reopen it
[16:25] <hatchetjack> okay I've rebooted
[16:25] <hatchetjack> let's give kvm a whirl now.
[16:26] <dury> hi there channel  :)
[16:28] <theadmin> Hey dury, welcome to the Ubuntu support channel, what can we help you with? :D
[16:28] <dury> I do run classic gnome desktop one panel in the top and other one in the bottom... the thing is that top panel applets disappear accidentally
[16:28] <bab> how do I stop pptp server from allowing clients to connect to each other?
[16:28] <hatchetjack> still get Permission denied
[16:28] <hatchetjack> chardev: opening backend "socket" failed
[16:28] <thetinyjesus> anyone know how to get weechat to automatically connect to servers?
[16:28] <theadmin> dury: Do you mean "randomly"?
[16:29] <hatchetjack> didn't think the windows "reboot" solution would really work
[16:30] <thetinyjesus> Does anyone know how to use weechat well?
[16:31] <theadmin> thetinyjesus: Could you try their channel? i.e. #weechat
[16:31] <compdoc> hatchetjack, how did you install qemu-kvm?
[16:31] <designbybeck> has anyone else been having "Alt + Tab" issues when switching between windows? Just withing the past week or so my screen flickers and then has to refresh the windows manager it looks like
[16:31] <designbybeck> i just reset compiz back to unity default and it is still doing that
[16:31] <vbb> im not tulip
[16:32] <melkor> Greetings is there any presentation software that supports video? Libre office is insufficient because I cannot set the play to loop.
[16:32] <theadmin> designbybeck: Sounds like a problem with video drivers to me. Did you have a kernel upgrade recently?
[16:32] <designbybeck> not that i know of theadmin
[16:32] <bab> how do I stop pptp server from allowing clients to connect to each other?
[16:32] <designbybeck> melkor, have you tried http://docs.google.com
[16:33] <dury> theadmin?
[16:33] <theadmin> dury: hmmm... I dunno then.
[16:33] <melkor> designbybeck: no, that is an intersting suggestion.
[16:33] <jigspan> need help pls
[16:34] <designbybeck> melkor,  they have a  presentation feature that lets you embed youtube videos and such, it works nice for the most part
[16:34] <dury> where can I publish images for free to show you the desktop problem
[16:34] <designbybeck> also melkor another thing I'm playing with is HTML5 all web version for  a presentation
[16:34] <MonkeyDust> dury  i guess it's because gnome classic is not *really* gnome2, it just kind of looks and behaves like gnome2
[16:34] <jigspan> any ane can explain how join indian room?
[16:34] <designbybeck> dury,  you can use http://pasteall.org
[16:34] <LjL> jigspan: type /join #ubuntu-in
[16:35] <dury> all right designbybeck
[16:35] <designbybeck> melkor,  here is the HTML5 setup  I was talking about, then you just embed your files using WebM or the like: http://slides.html5rocks.com/#landing-slide
[16:37] <dury> http://www.pasteall.org/pic/show.php?id=25982 accidentally no those applets in the top panel

[16:37] <adrellias> hey peeps
[16:37] <adrellias> does anybody know how to import certificates
[16:37] <adrellias> into ubuntu ?
[16:38] <ikonia> what sort of certificates ?
[16:38] <ikonia> and into what application ?
[16:38] <adrellias> i need to do 802.1X auth TLS but it uses client certificates
[16:38] <dury> http://www.pasteall.org/pic/show.php?id=25982 the ones underlined in red
[16:38] <adrellias> ubutu's network manager does not give you the option
[16:38] <ikonia> adrellias: ok, what application ?
[16:38] <adrellias> just straight forward ubuntu network manager
[16:38] <adrellias> it does not allow for TLS with client certificate
[16:39] <ikonia> adrellias: I don't know if network manager supports it,
[16:39] <adrellias> darn
[16:39] <ikonia> I'd assume so but I've never used it like that
[16:39] <dury> how to restore default applets in the top panel the ones in the right ?
[16:40] <adrellias> ikonia: whats weird is i think wpa_supplicant does
[16:40] <adrellias> will fiddle
[16:40] <adrellias> perhaps that option should be added
[16:40] <adrellias> :)
[16:40] <adrellias> that is if it works
[16:40] <ikonia> adrellias: never used it that way, so I don't know
[16:40] <dury> in classic gnome desktop
[16:40] <adrellias> pingo wicd supports it
[16:40] <adrellias> ubuntu's network manager does not
[16:41] <adrellias> hrmm
[16:41] <adrellias> or wait
[16:41] <dury> theadmin: do you know how to do it?
[16:41] <theadmin> dury: No, sorry
[16:42] <hatchetjack> compdoc: by following the ubuntu wiki documentation found here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/Installation
[16:42] <Vexiant> https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/dns-configuration.html     "Caching Nameserver"
[16:42] <Vexiant> I need help with this ^
[16:43] <melkor> designbybeck: thats pretty cool.
[16:43] <Vexiant> can anyone help me with it?
[16:43] <jigspan> can anyone explain what cause improper shutdown in 11.10?
[16:43] <dury> designbybeck: are you there?
[16:44] <Vexiant> Anyone?
[16:44] <oCean> !patience | Vexiant
[16:44] <dury> ikonia: can you help me please?
[16:44] <MonkeyDust> idd
[16:44] <Vexiant> this IRC blows. I'm going to the forums
[16:44] <jag> jigspan, same symptom here, i'm guessing if u logon on plaintext that you should exit before trying to shutdown.. (i think it only shutsdown properly from the gui screen)
[16:45] <auronandace> wow, 2 mins of patience
[16:45] <jag> 20 minutes of patience for me..lol
[16:45] <designbybeck> yeah whats up dury
[16:45] <sbarcteam> hi.
[16:45] <designbybeck> yes it is melkor ;) great way to do it
[16:45] <jigspan> i always log on and sutdown from gui
[16:45] <sbarcteam> I've upgraded from maverick to natty.
[16:45] <sbarcteam> And I cannot login graphically.
[16:46] <sbarcteam> I've tried polling on "~/.xsession-errors", nothing there.
[16:46] <sbarcteam> I've tried "safe" and "classical safe", it doesn't help.
[16:46] <jag> jigspan, i know.. it sometimes freezes for me too.. i did an upgrade after installing 11.10 and not sure if it'll recur
[16:46] <dury> designbybeck: thanks for answer http://www.pasteall.org/pic/show.php?id=25982 need to restore default applets in the top panel http://www.pasteall.org/pic/show.php?id=25982 the ones in the right
[16:46] <sbarcteam> I think it has to do with something I had  working on maverick :) can somebody hold my hand to debut this ?
[16:46] <sbarcteam> s/debut/debug/
[16:46] <dury> designbybeck: sorry to repeat the url
[16:47] <designbybeck> what version is that dury?
[16:47] <designbybeck> 10.10?
[16:47] <jigspan> i have all updates for 11.10 but problem exist.
[16:47] <jag> sbarcteam, try -> apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[16:47] <jag> sbarcteam, or, apt-get install gnome-classic
[16:47] <dury> designbybeck: 11.04
[16:47] <sbarcteam> jag: already installed ....
[16:47] <sbarcteam> next bet, gentlemen
[16:48] <jigspan> have also tried on launchpad but cant success
[16:48] <jag> sbarcteam, or, apt-get install gnome-session-fallback
[16:48] <designbybeck> can you not right click on it and say Add To Panel? I'm useing 11.10 Unity so I don't remember that stuff right off hand dury
[16:48] <sbarcteam> jag there is no such package as you've mentioned. please note, I'm trying to make it work on NATTY.
[16:48] <sbarcteam> not oneiric.
[16:48] <theadmin> jag: You mean "gnome-fallback", not "gnome-classic"
[16:49] <theadmin> sbarcteam: ^
[16:49] <jag> ya thank
[16:49] <dury> designbybeck: the thing it's to restore default applets in the top panel... that's all
[16:49] <jag> but for 11.10
[16:49] <deper29> hey guys, I'm hoping someone can help me with this. I just did a clean install of 11.10, and ran into an issue. When I boot, I get a black screen that says "error: invalid arch independent ELF magic" and puts me in grub rescue
[16:49] <xangua> !panels | dury
[16:50] <sbarcteam> xangua: did u mean me ?
[16:50] <grummund> Hi, Anyone know how to run tftpd ?
[16:51] <jigspan> jag: i have found that it is bios , acpi or driver problem.
[16:51] <deper29> I found this, but I don't know which drives I should be mounting :S http://askubuntu.com/questions/72003/grub-invalid-arch-independent-elf-magic-after-11-10-install-on-macbook-pro-5
[16:51] <dury> xangua: as root?
[16:51] <theadmin> grummund: Normally you can start/stop daemons with "sudo service DAEMONNAME start/stop". In your case, I think you want "sudo service tftpd start"
[16:52] <deper29> anyone?
[16:52] <grummund> theadmin: i think tftpd is intended to run from xinetd, but it's not set up...
[16:53] <grummund> if i could just invoke it from the command line that would be fine
[16:54] <theadmin> grummund: Hm... xinetd... I don't think it's supposed to be ran that way (doesn't make sense to me) but if it is, well... Then I can't really help
[16:54] <john_doe_jr> does anyone know if there is an application that is free and open source that will allow me to take daily notes ?
[16:55] <grummund> well there's no tftpd script under /etc/init.d/... that i can see
[16:55] <theadmin> john_doe_jr: Zim is my favorite for that.
[16:55] <theadmin> grummund: /etc/init.d/ is deprecated and only used for things not yet ported to use Upstart. Look for things under /etc/init/
[16:55] <dury> xangua: thanks indeed it worked :)
[16:56] <john_doe_jr> theadmin, alright thanks I'll try it out
[16:58] <dury> hi there again channel :)thanks indeed
[16:58] <th_> hello. any sylpheed users here?
[16:58] <McG-Lucky> need help with my ubuntu lag
[16:58] <dury> I did solve the applet problem in the top panel
[16:59] <dury> once again thanks indeed :) thanks to xanga
[16:59] <designbybeck> pay it forward dury!
[16:59] <McG-Lucky> please
[16:59] <McG-Lucky> some one help
[17:00] <dury> no money :(
[17:00] <andyhuzhill> McG-Lucky: What is lag?
[17:00] <dury> I can help to the community
[17:01] <McG-Lucky> what happens is when i drag the window around it makes like a slide show i have the ati card drivers
[17:01] <McG-Lucky> nothing is smooth why please
[17:02] <sviesusisalus> latency
[17:02] <theadmin> dury: That will do, that's what we mean ;) Help out in #ubuntu, that's the way you usually help any Linux distros. Paying literally isn't really something we expect from you
[17:03] <theadmin> McG-Lucky: Do you have the propetiary drivers? You sure they loaded?
[17:03] <sanjay> s
[17:04] <McG-Lucky> i have the catalyst ait thingi
[17:04] <dury> theadmin: I will consider what you said... believe me :)
[17:04] <jigspan> sanjay: i have shutdown problem with 11.10
[17:05] <UICTamale> hi all, I'm unable to boot into my ubuntu 11.10 install.  It keeps hanging at 'checking battery state'
[17:05] <theadmin> dury: hehe, thaks :D
[17:05] <dury> theadmin: you're welcome :)
[17:05] <theadmin> UICTamale: That can happen for several reasons. Try booting with "nomodeset" appended to the kernel line
[17:06] <th_> i have a 3 accounts on sylpheed. but theres a problem with that because inboxes are kinda messed up... sylpheed shows multiple accounts on 1 inbox :S
[17:06] <McG-Lucky> HELO
[17:07] <McG-Lucky> PLEASE
[17:07] <go^> hello
[17:07] <jigspan> theadmin: i have improper shutdown problem with 11.10 i have all updates installed
[17:07] <UICTamale> theadmin: I've tried that before, no luck.
[17:07] <theadmin> jigspan: "improper shutdown" how?
[17:07] <zars> ciao
[17:07] <zars> !list
[17:07] <go^> What can I use to use my Nokia (n97 mini) with my ubuntu 11.10? Thank you :)
[17:07] <hatchetjack> I guess kvm is not usable in ubuntu?
[17:07] <compdoc> sure it is
[17:07] <UICTamale> theadmin: I've also tried reinstalling the fglrx drivers and switching back to the open-source ATI drivers, also with no luck.
[17:08] <hatchetjack> compdoc: how do you figure?
[17:08] <UICTamale> theadmin: I've also tried reinstalling lightdm
[17:08] <jigspan> theadmin:system cant power off completely .
[17:08] <theadmin> UICTamale: hmmm... If you boot to console (append "text" to the kernel line), does it work?
[17:08] <hatchetjack> compdoc: seems pretty unusable to me at the moment
[17:08] <compdoc> hatchetjack, I have it running windows and nix guests on 3 different servers, using 3 different versions of Ubuntu
[17:08] <theadmin> jigspan: So it just hangs on a black screen (or on some screen with text ending in "System halted."), right?
[17:09] <hatchetjack> compdoc: and you installed similar to wiki link I posted?
[17:09] <jigspan> theadmin: yes sir
[17:09] <dury> need to go... be back
[17:09] <compdoc> hatchetjack, if you are getting permission denied, it sounds like you dont have user/groups set right
[17:10] <theadmin> jigspan: That'd be "yes ma'am" :P. Either way, append "reboot=bios" to your kernel line and try again. If it doesn't work, try changing that to "reboot=acpi" and finally "reboot=force". See which works for you. After that, update grub to use the respective parameter.
[17:10] <compdoc> hatchetjack, yes, something like that one, but I think thats a bit dated, since it only mentions 10.04 (I think it was). You can google kvm on the actual version you are using
[17:11] <jigspan> theadmin: ok mam but how to do that?
[17:11] <hatchetjack> compdoc: how should the perms be set?
[17:12] <go^> Does anybody know any tool to use my Nokia (N97 mini) with Ubuntu 11.10? Something like OVI Pc Suite..
[17:12] <McG-Lucky> so i am not getting help
[17:12] <compdoc> hatchetjack, I dont think you actually need to set perms, you just need to make sure the users and groups exist. If you use apt-get to install, it should set/create all those things for you
[17:12] <theadmin> jigspan: Well. During the initial startup, after BIOS POST, hold Left Shift. Then you'll see some sort of a menu. Edit the line beginning with "kernel", just add " bios=..." to it (where ... is bios, acpi or force), after which tell it to boot. See if it works, then report back saying which worked and I'll provide further instructions.
[17:13] <theadmin> err
[17:13] <theadmin> jigspan: " reboot=...", rather
[17:14] <auronandace> McG-Lucky: well, theres not much anyone can do about bad proprietry drivers
[17:14] <compdoc> hatchetjack, also, you have to make sure the service is set to run at boot
[17:14] <jigspan> theadmin:i get that menu every time without pressing left shift
[17:14] <compdoc> hatchetjack, that permission denied might simple mean its not running
[17:14] <compdoc> simply
[17:15] <McG-Lucky> so what is it ubuntu
[17:15] <hatchetjack> compdoc: I've verified libvirt-bin is running
[17:15] <hatchetjack> compdoc: my user is in the libvirtd group
[17:15] <hatchetjack> I've rebooted
[17:15] <McG-Lucky> is it or not
[17:16] <compdoc> hatchetjack, hold on a sec
[17:16] <theadmin> jigspan: Ah cool, well then just follow the instructions as they are from the next step on. Normally that menu is hidden but.
[17:16] <McG-Lucky> out of 1576 people no one can help me
[17:16] <McG-Lucky> really
[17:16] <auronandace> McG-Lucky: you're using closed source ati drivers, only amd has access to those so nobody here can help you if the problem is with the drivers
[17:17] <McG-Lucky> So how do you fix that
[17:17] <gr33n7007h> how can I install flash player 11 on ubuntu 10.04 any ideas??
[17:17] <McG-Lucky> thanks for the reply
[17:17] <auronandace> McG-Lucky: thats my point, you can't, they are closed sourcew
[17:18] <McG-Lucky> so i must uninstall ubuntu
[17:18] <McG-Lucky> cause it does not work
