[12:12] <phaidros> anyone? how to get applets into the panel in natty?
[12:13] <lifechamp> oh, wait, in disk utility, it shows in volumes for the 320gb drive, that unknown is 50gb, 25 and 40 gb ext4, 200gb unknown
[12:13] <lifechamp> just fyi
[12:13] <lifechamp> VCoolio, should i paste the DU GUI ss?
[12:13] <hungryhubby> windows partition software will give u clear idea about partitions lifechamp
[12:13] <lifechamp> or should i just figure answer to step 3 is sda1?
[12:13] <lifechamp> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#METHOD%203%20-%20CHROOT
[12:14] <Viliny> lifechamp: i found easeus partition manager to be free and awesome, if that helps
[12:14] <phaidros> hm, it is all indicator-$something foo
[12:14] <Viliny> for windows that is
[12:14] <Viliny> they also have ghost software that worked wonders here at the company
[12:14] <squig> Cube``, where does booting break?
[12:14] <squig> ghost scares me
[12:14] <usr13> kaiojima: Well, like I said... you might install wicd    Manually negotiating the encryption is doable but would be too difficult to talk you through it.  In other words, I could probably noodle my way through it if I had the computer in my hands, but wouldn't be able to do it from here.
[12:14] <kaiojima> Okay.
[12:14] <kaiojima> I will try wicd, thanks.
[12:15] <Cube``> squig: at plymouth
[12:15] <ubuntu_> lifechamp: i will try it again
[12:15] <lifechamp> Ok, the "Bootable" partition flag is set for that sda1 device
[12:15] <usr13> kaiojima: sudo apt-get install wicd ; sudo apt-get remove network-manager
[12:15] <lifechamp> is that the "normal system partition" then?
[12:15] <kaiojima> Thanks.
[12:15] <squig> Cube``, can you get to a virtual console? you might want to boot up with out gfx
[12:15] <hungryhubby> u mean norton ghost
[12:15] <hungryhubby> probably sda1 is ur root
[12:16] <usr13> kaiojima: I am not sure that will do it.  It is also possible that there is a driver issue.  But that is the first thing I would try.
[12:16] <Cube``> squig: nope, i cant. unless i can stop some stuff at grub. how can i force grub to display the installation list?
[12:16] <squig> do you get the grub menu at all?
[12:16] <E3D3> phaidros: Did you try a right-click in the panel ?
[12:16] <VCoolio> lifechamp: run "mount"  and paste that output
[12:16] <Cube``> squig: no
[12:16] <hungryhubby> dont u find printscreen button on ur key board lifechamp
[12:16] <Cube``> squig: normally its set to boot a certain choice
[12:16] <lifechamp> i do, hh, but there are multiple selections to print out
[12:17] <squig> Cube``, it usually has a delay, its on of the magic keys like f8 f5 del or tab to show the menu
[12:17] <ubuntu_> lifechamp: ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/boot
[12:17] <ubuntu_> mount: /dev/sdb1 already mounted or /mnt/boot busy
[12:17] <ubuntu_> mount: according to mtab, /dev/sdb1 is mounted on /cdrom
[12:17] <ubuntu_> my bootable flash disk is sdb1, doing i already something wrong?
[12:17] <ubuntu_> #step5
[12:17] <FloodBot1> ubuntu_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:18] <hungryhubby> lifechamp: use alt +printscreen to do one at a time also put ur screen shot of disk utility to know better
[12:18] <ubuntu_> ou sorry
[12:18] <Cube``> squig: yes thats what im asking for
[12:18] <kaiojima> usr13: Installing wicd works.
[12:18] <kaiojima> Thanks!
[12:18] <usr13> ubuntu_: It is telling you it is already mounted.
[12:18] <lifechamp> VCoolio, i'm running off of LiveCD (to fix bootup prob), so mount should none except for tmpfp, loop0, sr0, fusectl, auf, binfmt_misc, gvts... so prob doesn't have what you want me to see, right?
[12:18] <squig> Cube``, might be easier to swtich back your gfx and set grub to wait, or boot from a live dick?
[12:18] <usr13> kaiojima: NP
[12:18] <squig> oops type disc
[12:18] <usr13> ubuntu_: mount  #And see where it is mounted.
[12:19] <VCoolio> lifechamp: yeah sorry, you' re fixing the stuff; nevermind
[12:19] <Cube``> squig: switch back? how
[12:19] <lifechamp> Do I use step 4, or 5?
[12:19] <lifechamp> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#METHOD%203%20-%20CHROOT
[12:19] <usr13> ubuntu_: mount  #Issuing the mount command without arguments will show you mounted devices and their mount points.
[12:19] <lifechamp> it does seem i have a separate boot partition
[12:19] <phaidros> E3D3: well, unity is not gnome, and yes I tried right click and ... tadaaa. unity panel has no right click ;)
[12:19] <ubuntu_> ok, let's continue, i'm almost new in ubuntu, so i'm not sure if do right, if something is not exactly like manual
[12:19] <lifechamp> as there are multiple other partitions set on this machine
[12:19] <lifechamp> flagged as "filesystem"
[12:20] <phaidros> E3D3: it seems it is all indicator plugins, which are mostly only avail on launchpad atm
[12:20] <usr13> ubuntu_: mount | pastebinit
[12:20] <thenewsman> hi all
[12:20] <usr13> ubuntu_: And send resulting URL
[12:20] <ubuntu_> my mount http://paste.ubuntu.com/613692/
[12:21] <usr13> ubuntu_: ls /cdrom
[12:21] <lifechamp> doing step 5 says /mnt/boot does not exist
[12:21] <usr13> ubuntu_: ls /cdrom | pastebinit
[12:21] <lifechamp> step 4 gives: you must specify the filesystem type

[12:22] <thauriswulfa> HELP: I have a movie with two avi files is there any way to merge both of them to one
[12:22] <usr13> ubuntu_: Ok there you go. What do you need to do now?
[12:22] <E3D3> phaidros: Doesnt sound like my cup of tea. Like its a web-OS.

[12:24] <Dazzled> but this one refuses
[12:25] <usr13> ubuntu_: Are you running wubi?  What do you have installed on this PC?
[12:25] <Dazzled> it's using the Kinect (USB) interface
[12:25] <ubuntu_> usr13: ubuntu 10.10, http://paste.ubuntu.com/613697/ fdisk
[12:25] <Dazzled> could that be an issue?
[12:25] <ubuntu_> not just fresh installation, just ubuntu 10.10
[12:26] <usr13> ubuntu_: You are only showing sdb. Was that the output of fdisk -l   (or was it the output of fdisk -l /dev/sdb )
[12:26] <usr13> ?
[12:27] <ubuntu_> f*ck...again sorry
[12:27] <usr13> ubuntu_: sdb is a thumb drive?
[12:27] <lifechamp> hungryhubby, VCoolio, rileyp, did u guys see my last posts? Had trouble running sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt[/boot] as per steps 4 and 5 in the doc I've linked.. any ideas?

[12:32] <Cube``> ubuntu stops at boot
[12:32] <sathis> is there any ways that i can get beats audio drive for ubuntu
[12:33] <usr13> ubuntu_:  Ok, so what is it I see installed there on sda1 ?
[12:33] <usr13> ubuntu_: And what are you booted into now?
[12:33] <thenewsman> hello everybody. i cannt execute lshal . any ideas ?
[12:33] <ubuntu_> usr13: ubuntu is installed in sda1, right
[12:33] <lifechamp> usr13: I think it's my "normal system partition", as per step 3
[12:33] <lifechamp> and as per my earlier conversations here
[12:34] <ubuntu_> usr13: from flash disk sdb1
[12:34] <Dazzled> can it be an application can't start on boot because the USB interface isn't yet up?
[12:34] <Dazzled> and if so, how can I test that?
[12:35] <Dazzled> or should I look at it from the root's directory?
[12:35] <usr13> ubuntu_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub
[12:35] <Dazzled> and not my own?
[12:35] <geirha> !pm | thenewsman
[12:35] <sathis> how to get beats audio drive for my ubuntu
[12:37] <usr13> ubuntu_: Yes, mount the linux partition.  sudo mkdir /sda1 ; mount /dev/sda1 /sda1
[12:37] <usr13> ubuntu_: And then follow instructions at  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows?action=show&redirect=RestoreGrub
[12:38] <usr13> sudo grub-install --root-directory=/sda1
[12:38] <usr13> etc
[12:38] <usr13> ubuntu_: ^^
[12:39] <usr13> sudo grub-install --root-directory=/sda1  /dev/sda
[12:39] <usr13> ubuntu_: ^^
[12:39] <usr13> (first one was typo)
[12:39] <ubuntu_> usr13: too fast for me, i am trying right now
[12:39] <usr13> lefft off  where to tell grub to onstall to.
[12:40] <erkan^> Can you install GNOME3 on Ubuntu 10.04 ?
[12:40] <erkan^> !gnome
[12:40] <thenewsman> !lshal
[12:40] <DJones> !gnome3 | erkan^
[12:41] <semitones> does anyone know how to stream audio from one VLC to another?
[12:41] <erkan^> i have seen that openSUSE and Fedora can you install GNOME 3 via www.gnome.org. and why ubuntu not, DJones ?
[12:41] <orafin> aed
[12:41] <orafin> hi any body there
[12:41] <dr_willis> erkan^:  it conflicts with unity stuff
[12:42] <ubuntu_> usr13:http://paste.ubuntu.com/613704/ mount fail
[12:42] <erkan^> yes, but i use ubuntu 10.04, dr_willis
[12:42] <ubuntu_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/613704/
[12:42] <hungryhubby> yeah orafin
[12:42] <usr13> ubuntu_: Yes, mount the linux partition.  sudo mkdir /sda1 ; mount /dev/sda1 /sda1 ; ls /sda1 #Just to see that it's all there, and that /boot is there.  And then:  sudo grub-install --root-directory=/sda1  /dev/sda
[12:42] <DJones> erkan^: Gnome 3 isn't compatible with Unity yet and if you use the ppa for gnome 3, it breaks Unity and can break the whole desktop, gnome 3 was released too late for work to be done on compatibility for the Natty release
[12:42] <dr_willis> erkan^:  theres unofficial ppa's out i imagine. good luck
[12:42] <erkan^> ok

[12:43] <dr_willis> !register | orafin
[12:43] <ChessTeach> is there any way to colorize the output from apt-get so that it could be read faster?
[12:43] <usr13> ubuntu_:  ls /mnt | pastebinit
[12:43] <usr13> and send resulting URL
[12:43] <usr13> ubuntu_: ^^^
[12:44] <erkan^> https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 >>> doesn't support for 10.04 i see
[12:44] <erkan^> 11.04 only
[12:44] <erkan^> my question, is it possible that i install evolution 3 on ubuntu 10.04, dr?
[12:44] <erkan^> dr_willis,
[12:45] <dr_willis> erkan^:  no idea. there may be a ppa for it. or use the source.
[12:45] <Dazzled> At what point in the boot sequence are the USB interfaces available?
[12:45] <erkan^> ok
[12:45] <orafin> thank  you for guiding ubottu
[12:45] <usr13> ubuntu_: ls /mnt #Just to see that it's all there, and that /boot is there.  And then:  sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt  /dev/sda
[12:46] <ubuntu_> usr13: http://paste.ubuntu.com/613707/
[12:46] <dr_willis> Dazzled:  given that i boot and run full ubuntu installs from USB hard drives and flash drives.. id say they are avail  very early on. :)
[12:46] <usr13> sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[12:46] <Dazzled> as I have a program that uses the Kinect (aatm trying with a sample) and it won't start :/
[12:47] <Dazzled> it works flawlessly when I just run it, but it won't boot
[12:47] <Dazzled> start on boot*
[12:47] <usr13> ubuntu_: sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt  /dev/sda
[12:47] <dr_willis> clarify what it is. and how you are  starting it at boot Dazzled
[12:48] <ubuntu_> usr13: http://paste.ubuntu.com/613708/ ...probably i'm stupid for linux :(
[12:48] <Dazzled> dr_willis, I added it to the "Startup Applications" (through preferences)
[12:48] <usr13> ubuntu_: Forget about pastebinit for now.  Just install grub.
[12:48] <usr13> ubuntu_: sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt  /dev/sda
[12:48] <usr13> ubuntu_: Do you get an error?
[12:48] <Dazzled> it's an interactive terminal
[12:49] <usr13> ubuntu_: Or not...?
[12:49] <ubuntu_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/613709/
[12:49] <ubuntu_> looks fine
[12:49] <Dazzled> dr_willis, it's an interactive terminal, and I want to boot into my C++ application when it starts
[12:49] <Dazzled> dr_willis, but it refuses
[12:49] <ubuntu_> usr13: http://paste.ubuntu.com/613709/
[12:50] <saimanoj> hello
[12:50] <Dazzled> dr_willis, and I've tried rc.local as well, but that also didn't work
[12:50] <dr_willis> Try making a script that laucnhes it Dazzled  and run the script. have it pipe error messages to some log file perhaps..
[12:50] <usr13> ubuntu_: Looks like you are good to go.
[12:50] <dr_willis> Dazzled:  rc.local would NOT be for user/gui apps.. it would be for things that can run without X.
[12:50] <ubuntu_> usr13:so should i try reboot
[12:50] <usr13> ubuntu_: Yes.
[12:50] <Dazzled> dr_willis, thanks, that I didn't know
[12:50] <saimanoj> cheese is not functioning properly. it is closing unexpectedly
[12:51] <saimanoj> please help
[12:51] <dr_willis> Dazzled:  also you could try launching a terminal that runs the app. somthing like -->   xterm -e commandname
[12:51] <ubuntu_> usr13: thanks for pation , wish me good luck
[12:51] <ubuntu_> usr13: :)
[12:51] <dr_willis> saimanoj:  run it from a a terminal, look for error messages. check forums for similer messages. :)
[12:51] <Dazzled> dr_willis, ah, well it spews a load of debug info on std
[12:51] <Dazzled> dr_willis, out
[12:52] <erkan^> !dropbox
[12:52] <saimanoj> dr_willis: I checked all the forums. Thanks for your advice. The error is the segmentation fault.
[12:53] <dr_willis> saimanoj:  eww. thats a big 'the thing crashed hard' error  - can be very hard to trouble shoot.
[12:54] <saimanoj> dr_willis: But I guess there should be a way.
[12:54] <dr_willis> saimanoj:  if you knew how to read the core dumps and so forth. perhaps.
[12:55] <Cube``> GUYS. my pc wont start up, after installing a new video card, nvidia geforce 520. im about to remove ubuntu and switch to proprietary software :SSS
[12:55] <DirtyDawg> :o
[12:55] <saimanoj> dr_willis: I am sorry, i dont know how to read the core dump. can you please explain about it
[12:55] <dr_willis> Cube``:  boot using the nomodeset option, install nvidia drivers. reboot , run nvidia-settings to tweak the card.
[12:56] <dr_willis> saimanoj:  i dont do that sort of stuff either.. so nope. cant explain it more then say its some sort of debugging file.
[12:56] <sipior> saimanoj: try running the program under "strace", and have a look at the system calls immediately preceding the segfault. beware that strace produces a great deal of information, so best to redirect output to a file.
[12:56] <hungryhubby> apparently chromium is faster than firefox 4
[12:56] <DirtyDawg> it is for me
[12:56] <dr_willis> hungryhubby:  i would not be suprised at that. :)
[12:56] <llutz_> is there something being slower than ff4?
[12:57] <sipior> llutz_: ff3, surely? :-)
[12:57] <saimanoj> dr_willis: thanks for your help.
[12:59] <hungryhubby> apt-get kubuntu-desktop would take how much of download>

[13:12] <sipior> saimanoj: does the file /tmp/.X11-unix/X0 exist on your system?
[13:12] <bazhang> frojnd, something like gnokii or gammu perhaps?
[13:13] <jhala> my usb internet connection goes off every now and then and i get a message network disconnected.  i am unable to use pon since the file is in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ and not in etc/ppp/peers/ which command should i use?

[13:17] <bazhang> purplefool, try holding shift at boot and getting into recovery
[13:17] <nbubuntu> hi can someone teach me how to search text file on ubuntu 10.10 ? because most text file save with gedit are without extension .Thanks
[13:18] <carpi> could someone please tell me how to install google-voice plugin on natty?
[13:19] <Cheese> nbubuntu I'm no expert, but what are you talking about, searching like a file name?
[13:19] <bazhang> carpi, from a PPA?
[13:19] <sipior> saimanoj: well, there's nothing obviously wrong. you might consider filing a bug report if the problem persists.
[13:20] <carpi> bazhang: how may i do it using aptitude?
[13:20] <bazhang> carpi, plugin for what by the way
[13:21] <saimanoj> sipior: what is all the information that i should include in my bug report?
[13:21] <carpi> bazhang: plugin for google-voice. for making calls and stuff on gmail web interface
[13:21] <bazhang> carpi,  a firefox extension or what?
[13:21] <purplefool> bazhang, thx for suggestion, but was not able to get into recovery.  all i get is the login screen in terminal.  all files are still there and everything works, just no graphics.
[13:21] <sipior> saimanoj: i'd start with just a description of the problem, with as many details of your setup as possible (don't include the strace output unless asked for it).
[13:21] <bazhang> purplefool, you rebooted and held shift at boot?
[13:22] <carpi> bazhang: a firefox extension? I don't think there is a ff extension for google voice
[13:22] <saimanoj> sipior: thanks, for your help.
[13:22] <sipior> saimanoj: good luck getting your problem sorted out
[13:22] <bazhang> carpi, not clear how this is related to ubuntu
[13:22] <saimanoj> sipior: Thanks.
[13:23] <purplefool> yes i did...will do it again to make sure.
[13:23] <bazhang> carpi, you could apt-cache search google and see what comes up in terminal
[13:23] <carpi> bazhang: thanks. i'll try that

[13:31] <nbubuntu> Anyone can teach me how to search file ? using ubuntu 10.10
[13:31] <llutz_> nbubuntu: find /path/ -iname part-of-filename
[13:31] <bazhang> nbubuntu, search inside files? what do you need an extension for?
[13:32] <nbubuntu> bazhang llutz_ : nope , it's a document linux file save using gedit
[13:32] <nbubuntu> bazhang llutz_ : I wanted to find all those gedit document file but it save without extension
[13:32] <nbubuntu> bazhang llutz_ : how do I search them ?
[13:33] <XuMuK> nbubuntu, by name?
[13:33] <llutz_> nbubuntu: extensions are useless. use "find" or "grep -r" to search for files
[13:33] <nbubuntu> XuMuK : all
[13:33] <XuMuK> nbubuntu, there is no way
[13:33] <nbubuntu> XuMuK : all file save using gedit
[13:34] <dr_willis> gedit does text files.. theres lots of text files. :)
[13:34] <dr_willis> Unless you added an extension to it. it dident use one.
[13:34] <llutz_> nbubuntu: there is no way to do, since gedit won't (hopefully) write any info into files. those are pure text-files
[13:34] <carpi> i can't believe there is no ppa for google talk !
[13:34] <dr_willis> carpi: i thought google had its own repos for it.
[13:35] <dr_willis> they got repos for many of their other linux things.
[13:35] <XuMuK> carpi, but there is a google one...
[13:35] <carpi> XuMuK: could you please elaborate?
[13:35] <carpi> dr_willis: its own repos?
[13:35] <dr_willis> yes.. google has repos for most of their projects i recall.
[13:36] <nbubuntu> llutz_ dr_willis : normally when you type some text file into the gedit you save it default "Untitled Document 1" but it doesn't have an extension name like .txt and I wanted to search all doc file in a folder
[13:36] <dr_willis> nbubuntu:  search for a text string in a file. can be done with grep.
[13:36] <dr_willis> the file command can say what kind of file - each filename is.
[13:38] <dr_willis> nbubuntu:  if you are using 11.04 theres that zeitgiest tools that can show what files you have been working on also.
[13:38] <nbubuntu> dr_willis : I just wanted to search all document file. Like if you wanted to search a picture file picture.jpg you can use "grep  *.txt"
[13:38] <dr_willis> however its spelt.
[13:38] <nbubuntu> dr_willis : I am using ubuntu 10.10
[13:38] <llutz_> nbubuntu: file /path/* | grep ASCII
[13:38] <afeijo> hi all
[13:38] <afeijo> how can I test what is causing forbidden access in apache2?
[13:39] <dr_willis> nbubuntu:  you are missing the point.  file can be a text file and not have an extension. You want to Figure out what file is the one you just saved? Look at the dates. and see what llutz_  said.
[13:39] <purplefool> when attempting to start gdm i get the following message:  /usr/sbin/gdm-binary: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lb/libgmodule-2.0.so.0: invalid ELF header
[13:39] <purplefool> what does this mean?
[13:39] <dr_willis> purplefool:  could be the file is currupted.
[13:40] <dr_willis> the elf header is a little bit of magic #'s at teh start of a executable binary file I belive.
[13:41] <llutz_> nbubuntu: that will list ALL ASCII-textfiles in a given dir, but that could be anything,, not only gedit-written files.
[13:41] <alexanderL53> I'm almost in love with the latest ubuntu, nice job      /end of offtopic
[13:41] <sipior> purplefool: what does "file /usr/lib/libgmodule-2.0.so.0" report?
[13:41] <mikey> mikey774
[13:42] <nbubuntu> llutz_ : it's gedit written file mostly
[13:42] <purplefool> dr_willis, how can i 'uncurrupt' it?
[13:42] <llutz_> nbubuntu: you still don't get the point
[13:42] <zyw> hello everyone
[13:42] <fowlmouth> HOW DO I INSTALL UBUNTU ON MY ORIGINAL XBOX
[13:42] <zyw> hello
[13:42] <fowlmouth> SORRY SHIFT KEY IS BROKEN
[13:42] <bazhang> fowlmouth, no caps
[13:42] <purplefool> sipior, i have no idea...got the command while googling.  didn't even know there was such a file.
[13:42] <dr_willis> You could try reinstalling the  thing purplefool -
[13:43] <nbubuntu> llutz_ : sorry , I dont quite understand what you mean
[13:43] <dr_willis> !xbox
[13:43] <fowlmouth> bazhang: SHIFT KEY IS BROKEN IM SORRY
[13:43] <alexanderL53> fowlmouth, press blocmaiusc if shift is broken, thanks
[13:43] <sipior> purplefool: no, i mean run the command "file" on the library mentioned.
[13:43] <purplefool> dr_willis, that is what we were trying to avoid by coming here.  it that has to happen, we will though.
[13:43] <Corey> Unsupported and EOL platform, fowlmouth
[13:43] <purplefool> sipior, ok...give me a sec...
[13:43] <dr_willis> purplefool:  shouldent be too hard to reinstall  the stuff.. but it may be  a sign of other things also being currupted. or a failing hd.
[13:43] <fowlmouth> alexanderL53: ? BLOCMAIUSC?
[13:44] <alexanderL53> fowlmouth, the key over shift on the left side of keboard
[13:44] <Guest47580> Is there someone here who could try to give me some support?
[13:44] <dr_willis> You mean the caps lock?
[13:44] <bazhang> Guest47580, with what
[13:44] <dr_willis> !ask
[13:44] <alexanderL53> fowlmouth, oh, and by the way, if shift is broken how did you write the '?' ?
[13:45] <purplefool> sipior, evidentally it is a symbolic link to another file...should i do the same the the other file?
[13:45] <sipior> purplefool: please.
[13:45] <fowlmouth> alexanderL53: shift is stuck not broken
[13:45] <fowlmouth> i guess caps lock works for now
[13:45] <Guest47580> Err I'm not sure... just need someone smart who might be able to help me....
[13:45] <dr_willis> state the problem.. and see.
[13:45] <alexanderL53> fowlmouth, its working, thanks
[13:45] <bazhang> Guest47580, ubuntu support?
[13:45] <Guest47580> yeah
[13:45] <ikonia> Guest47580: just ask a question
[13:45] <llutz_> alexanderL53: blocmaiusc = italian?
[13:45] <purplefool> dr_willis, you are prob right, the computer is a referbished one from scraps...but it has run stable for a few weeks now and only died when the power was cut by a friend
[13:46] <MonkeyDust> i accidentally activated unity in ubuntu classic, after deactivating it, i cannot launch metacity, hints & tips?
[13:46] <alexanderL53> llutz, yes, italian keyboard, I forgot to 'traduce' its meaning when typing here ;)
[13:46] <Guest47580> I want windows back and my friend who put ubuntu on here said it was easy to go back and I don't know how to go back.
[13:46] <bazhang> MonkeyDust, that sounds unlikely
[13:46] <fowlmouth> oh wow MonkeyDust you have ubuntu too? im rockin" ubuntu!!
[13:46] <Kreative`> Guest47580, restart the computer, and select windows on startup
[13:47] <alexanderL53> Guest47580, if you are sure you want to go back, you have to reinstall windows, but the best bet is probably to call your friend again
[13:47] <MonkeyDust> bazhang: unikely as it is, it is wat i experience
[13:47] <Guest47580> I don't get that option
[13:47] <bazhang> MonkeyDust, as in not possible
[13:47] <MonkeyDust> bazhang: not knowing it is impossible, it is what happened
[13:47] <Drake|> Guest47580: then u need to reinstall the computer. if you have a laptp there might be a recovery partition
[13:47] <fowlmouth> Guest47580: you"re best bet is to reinstall linspire< lindows< or freedos
[13:47] <purplefool> sipior, i get the following:  /usr/lib/libgmodule-2.0.so.0.220.3:  ERROR: cannot open '/usr/lib/libgmodule-2.0.so.0.220.3' (no such firle or directory)
[13:48] <Guest47580> I don't have a windows disk. That's why I was picky of him doing it. He said he used the try via usb option and hit install to harddisk :\
[13:48] <bazhang> MonkeyDust, log out and choose classic, unity is another choice. they dont exist together
[13:48] <alexanderL53> Drake, did you mean 'reinstall the operating system'? Sorry but 'installing a computer' was too gross for me to hear :D
[13:48] <sipior> purplefool: and the file is indeed missing?
[13:48] <MonkeyDust> bazhang: i am in classic
[13:49] <fowlmouth> OK CYA THANKS
[13:49] <Drake|> alexanderL53:  well I'm used to say reinstall the computer.  We are sorry for that
[13:49] <fowlmouth> he"s a good guy
[13:49] <locum> got a problem with mic in ubuntu 11.04, mic dont work, sound card Analog Devices AD1986A my alsaconf is here -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/613685/
[13:49] <locum> anyone have a clue about that?
[13:49] <Kreative`> Guest47580, um, so he formatted the whole hard disk and installed ubuntu?
[13:49] <Guest47580> I don't have a way to reinstall windows and is there atleast a way to reaccess my old files from windows?
[13:49] <Kreative`> Well..
[13:49] <Kreative`> Yes
[13:49] <nbubuntu> llutz_ : I mean when I open a gedit after typing , saving as "mydocument" , there is no extension .So let say I wanted to search all gedit file , how do I do that ?
[13:49] <purplefool> sipior, yes, looks like it is missing...can i get it from somewhere or must it be complied from something?
[13:49] <Kreative`> Provided he didn't erase the whole disk.
[13:49] <alexanderL53> Guest47580, it all depends on what your friend did exactly
[13:49] <llutz_> nbubuntu: file /path/* | grep ASCII
[13:49] <Guest47580> He said  he made ubunutu only use like 15gb
[13:49] <fowlmouth> ^^
[13:50] <fowlmouth> if he did that you"re fucked FUCKED
[13:50] <sipior> purplefool: easiest just to reinstall the package, i would imagine.
[13:50] <bazhang> fowlmouth, no cursing
[13:50] <purplefool> sipior, how do i do that?
[13:50] <yeastwars> I've been having python problems for the past [indeterminate amount of time]. "ipython" fails with "ImportError: No module named testing", and "import scipy" fails with "ImportError: No module named multiarray". Halp?
[13:50] <Kreative`> Guest47580, In the file manager, ( nautilus ) look on the right
[13:50] <fowlmouth> my bad bro
[13:50] <LetsGo67> Why was Java removed from 11.04?  Is it because of Oracle?
[13:50] <Drake|> Kreative`: If he doesn't have a dualboot then his friend prob erased the entire disk :p
[13:50] <MonkeyDust> i accidentally activated unity in ubuntu classic, after deactivating it, i cannot launch metacity, alt-f2 won't work either, ctrl-alt-backspace won't work,  hints & tips?
[13:50] <Guest47580> file manager?
[13:50] <Kreative`> Yes..
[13:50] <Kreative`> Places -> Home Folder
[13:50] <bazhang> LetsGo67, in partner repo
[13:51] <Kreative`> Or are you on 11.04..?
[13:51] <bazhang> !partner > LetsGo67
[13:51] <Guest47580> 11.04
[13:51] <alexanderL53> Drake|, his friend wasn't probably so dumb to erase even the ntfs data
[13:51] <Kreative`> Alrite
[13:51] <alexanderL53> so he will probably find a partition mounted somewhere
[13:51] <fowlmouth> oh wow, thats good
[13:51] <LetsGo67> bazhang: It doesn't really explain why.
[13:51] <sipior> purplefool: try "sudo apt-get install --reinstall libglib2.0 libglib2.0-dev"
[13:51] <Kreative`> On the right, click the folder with the house on it.
[13:51] <Drake|> alexanderL53:  I hope not, but I wouldn't count on it :p
[13:51] <LetsGo67> bazhang: Why is Flash available easily but not Java?  Isn't Java more open than Flash?
[13:51] <Guest47580> Okay
[13:51] <fowlmouth> blame it on the goose< it"s got ya feelin" loose!
[13:52] <bazhang> LetsGo67, enable partner repo, its easy
[13:52] <sipior> purplefool: sorry, that should be libglib2.0-0
[13:52] <nbubuntu> llutz_ : Sorry I dont know how to use this "file /path/* | grep ASCII" , what should I enter as file ?
[13:52] <bazhang> !ot | fowlmouth
[13:52] <deckstar> so what's 3d about unity? I don't get it.
[13:52] <Guest47580> I clicked on home folder...
[13:52] <llutz_> nbubuntu: "file" is a command
[13:52] <fowlmouth> blame it on the vodka
[13:52] <fowlmouth> blame it on the heny
[13:52] <bazhang> fowlmouth, thats enough
[13:52] <fowlmouth> blame it on the al al al alcohol
[13:52] <fowlmouth> lool
[13:52] <LjL> LetsGo67: well, java is available easily enough, you only need to add the partner repositories. but i think the thing is that the flash package is just an installer that gets the actual Flash from the net, while the java package is actually java
[13:52] <alexanderL53> ban him
[13:52] <llutz_> he wants to go
[13:53] <Quantum_Ion> You know I am on Ubuntu Linux 10.04
[13:53] <Quantum_Ion> I wont upgrade until the next stable release
[13:53] <alexanderL53> Quantum_Ion, you mean lts?
[13:53] <bazhang> Quantum_Ion, support question?
[13:53] <Guest47580> Hello??
[13:53] <Quantum_Ion> yeah lts
[13:53] <nbubuntu> llutz_ : still I can't get it right sorry , :(
[13:53] <Quantum_Ion> When is the next Ubuntu LTS release ?
[13:53] <alexanderL53> 12.04
[13:53] <bazhang> Quantum_Ion, 12.04
[13:53] <alexanderL53> one year
[13:54] <Quantum_Ion> What year is 12.04 coming out ?
[13:54] <bazhang> Quantum_Ion, 2012
[13:54] <alexanderL53> 2012, april
[13:54] <dr_willis> Quantum_Ion:  the version # is the date
[13:54] <LetsGo67> LjL: 'Cause it's 95% free and 5% Sun?
[13:54] <Lucifer_> 2012, fourth month
[13:54] <locum> guys somebody can help me with alsa?
[13:54] <alexanderL53> locum, just ask
[13:54] <LjL> LetsGo67: honestly i don't know what the current license status of java is, it's a bit confusing
[13:54] <Quantum_Ion> 2012 just before the world ends thats GREAT
[13:54] <Drake|> I think its 04 aka april 2012 :p
[13:54] <alexanderL53> Quantum_Ion, !ot
[13:54] <locum> got a problem with mic in ubuntu 11.04, mic dont work, sound card Analog Devices AD1986A my alsaconf is here -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/613685/
[13:54] <LetsGo67> Thanks LjL and bazhang and have a good day!
[13:55] <MonkeyDust> what's the line again to --replace the window manager?
[13:55] <deckstar> I didn't realise those dates related to versions. Thanks!
[13:55] <Quantum_Ion> Guess I will marinate on 10.04 until 2012
[13:55] <alexanderL53> Quantum_Ion, try #ubuntu-offtopic
[13:55] <LjL> deckstar: nothing is 3D about Unity, it's said it's "3D" because it uses the 3D acceleration capabilities of graphics cards
[13:55] <bazhang> Quantum_Ion, chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic please
[13:55] <locum> alexanderL53,  any idea?
[13:55] <deckstar> LjL: Thank you. I knew I must be missing something
[13:56] <Guest47580> Where did the guy that was helping me go?
[13:56] <bazhang> deckstar, unity-2d if your card can not handle it
[13:56] <simon100> Wht you guys think of the new 11.04 desktop ?.. i dont like the requirement for a graphics card
[13:56] <locum> Guest47580,  what is your problem?
[13:56] <alexanderL53> locum, I don't, but others will see your question and answer if they know
[13:56] <semitones> bazhang, does unity-2d use less Watts?
[13:56] <bazhang> semitones, wat?
[13:57] <locum> alexanderL53,  i hop so lol
[13:57] <alexanderL53> semitones, the difference, if any, should be pointless
[13:57] <nbubuntu> llutz_ : as mention before my file type is "plain text document (text/plain)" .Sorry I dont know how to use the "file /path/* | grep ASCII" command
[13:57] <semitones> bazhang, Power, as in would the battery last longer
[13:57] <bazhang> semitones, no idea
[13:57] <Drake|> locum: his friend installed ubuntu on his comp. and he want windows again :P
[13:57] <semitones> because power consumption is the main beef I have with natty
[13:58] <locum> Drake|,  but installed both system or he just format
[13:58] <Chatter364> What is the update "no change rebuild for dbus-glib update" for?
[13:58] <alexanderL53> semitones, with 3d the desktop should be drawn by your graphic card (just a few percent usage), with 2d its the cpu that does the job (again, few percents). Someone should draw it, and the effort is really little unless you have a 20year old computer, so I don't think its worth thinking about watts ;)
[13:58] <Drake|> locum: as far as I could understand there is no dualboot.
[13:58] <Chatter364> under modem manager
[13:58] <guillone> u'un a une ps3?
[13:58] <guillone> quelqu'un*
[13:58] <LjL> !fr | guillone
[13:58] <semitones> alexanderL53, oh, I thought the graphics card would draw the 2d one also
[13:58] <locum> Drake|,  if he is lucky maybe he can restore data
[13:59] <purplefool> sipior, ok, did what you said but forgot to mention that i am using ubuntu9.10 because it is an old computer...what you sent is for the newest i think.  what would the name of the older file be?
[13:59] <LjL> semitones: possibly... someone who works on Unity told me the additional power consumption was almost negligible, though
[13:59] <simon100> unity 3D version will not run if you dont have proper 3D drivers.. nvidia/ati etc.
[13:59] <Drake|> locum: posible :p
[13:59] <dr_willis> semitones:  the 'rendering' is offloaded to the video card when possible using the 3d drivers. this lets you have effects that dont bog down your cpu.
[13:59] <semitones> LjL, ok. I suppose the main issue is the new kernel from what I've heard. Does it break anything to install natty and use it with maverick's kernel?
[14:00] <sipior> purplefool: try "dpkg -S /usr/lib/libgmodule-2.0.so.0" to find the relevant package.
[14:00] <Drake|> Guest47580: So did you get the help you needed?
[14:00] <semitones> dr_willis, oh ok
[14:00] <simon100> im going for Lubuntu... on new and old computer.. want them to be the same for easy maintainence
[14:00] <LjL> semitones: i don't know specifically, but that's generally not a good idea at all
[14:00] <semitones> :(
[14:00] <LjL> semitones: have you tried the live CD anyway?
[14:00] <guillone> hy guys, do you got any troubles connecting to the psn ?
[14:00] <alexanderL53> Guest47580, laptops usually have a 'Recovery' menu at the very early startup. Check for it when you open your computer
[14:00] <bazhang> guillone, that has what to do with ubuntu?
[14:00] <semitones> simon100, if I were you I'd go with ubuntu on the fast one and lubuntu on the slow one, just because ubuntu is much easier
[14:00] <LjL> semitones: if the new kernel works for you, why care
[14:01] <semitones> LjL, the laptop gets very hot :(
[14:01] <LjL> semitones: oh i see
[14:01] <guillone> yeh do you have a ps3 chan please?
[14:01] <bazhang> !alis | guillone
[14:01] <semitones> I have natty installed on a partition
[14:01] <alexanderL53> Guest47580, if you find it, you will be guided trough the procedure of having a shiny new window installation, altough I repeat you that it would be probably better to call your friend again, only him knows what he did
[14:01] <LjL> guillone: there is ##ps3 but it's very small
[14:01] <Vustom> When I install custom Ubuntu themes the font for the top left hand corner never changes.. its weird..
[14:02] <llutz_> nbubuntu:use this to find all textfiles in your home-dir+subdirs, it will find much more than you like :) adjust the path "~/" to get more suitable results. as you were told several times, there is no easy way to just find your "gedit files". find ~/ -type f -print0|xargs -0 file -i|grep "text/plain"
[14:02] <simon100> nah i have always preferred PCmanFM and getting it working on Ubuntu (replacing nautilus) is a pain. But its in Lubuntu as standard.. so Lubuntu kinda is my dream come true
[14:02] <ocs> hi. I activated a pptpd server on a linux laptop. From a windows client I can login and activate the vpn connection to the server, I can ping the server, but I can't access to all the services of the server, for example, the webserver.... this mean, for example, that I can browse "http://server_real_ip/index.html" but I can't browse ""http://server_vpn_ip/index.html"... how can I solve that?
[14:02] <simon100> PCmanfm is just faster and details view works as supposed
[14:02] <simon100> ok cya.. need to start installing now
[14:02] <alexanderL53> Guest47580, altough, I would ask you what are your problems for wanting to go back to windows, but if its just what you want, don't bother with answering
[14:03] <purplefool> sipior, well, that command caused the harddrive to act up a bit but nothing appeared on the screen...just back to the normal prompt.
[14:03] <guillone> thank you ljl
[14:03] <Lucifer_> Does anyone know of a way to use an Original Xbox communicator (the puck that plugs into the old xbox controllers to use a headset) in Ubuntu? I bought it without checking the compatibility first. the actual controller works perfectly (it's the original original, aka the "Duke" fits perfectly in my hands) and the headset works in XP, which is now the only reason I voluntarily ever boot into Windows.
[14:03] <MonkeyDust> is there a config file i can delete, to restore ubuntu classic to its default setings?
[14:04] <LjL> !resetpanel | MonkeyDust this does it for the panels
[14:04] <alexanderL53> MonkeyDust, try ~/.gnome2 , tough I am not sure
[14:04] <dr_willis> MonkeyDust:  the webupd8 site had a posting on doing just that. with a few commands. to reset compiz, gnome, and unity.
[14:04] <sipior> purplefool: dpkg -l | grep -i libglib
[14:04] <dr_willis> I am not sure if that reset-panel command works for the classic gnome or not.
[14:05] <jamukh> hi all
[14:05] <ganeshjacharya> I am getting grub rescue at boot
[14:05] <jamukh> can you help me
[14:05] <compdoc> ganeshjacharya, did you add or change drives?
[14:05] <alexanderL53> jamukh, just ask directly, thanks
[14:06] <jamukh> how to media video call Pidgin messenger
[14:06] <ganeshjacharya> There was a power failure
[14:07] <alexanderL53> jamukh, there should be a plugin for that. If (and only if) this don't work, try amsn
[14:07] <airtonix> nbubuntu: i'd start actually putting extensions on your files if you want an easy way to distinguish them with a console command.
[14:07] <sama> hi guys
[14:07] <sama> i need some help
[14:07] <purplefool> sipior, not sure what that command did, but there is def stuff on the screen that is new.  'binding' and 'interface' from 4 different packages i think
[14:08] <bazhang> sama, with what
[14:08] <sipior> purplefool: those list all the packages you have installed that contain "libglib" in the name. reinstall them.
[14:08] <sama> wait a sec
[14:08] <Damien_Garrido> Hello all ! Question: How to set (under Gnome) credentials for System Wide "Automatic Proxy Configuration" ? Thanks in advance for your help !
[14:08] <nbubuntu> airtonix : this is what i make a mistake though saving using gedit , now i forgot the file name and the gedit doesn't save an extension behind , I already browse through a lot of folder to get this file.
[14:09] <ganeshjacharya> compdoc, I only had a power failure
[14:09] <Lucifer_> sama: please just ask. took me a while to figure that out, as I'm used to places where you raise your hand (o/) and ask to be called on
[14:09] <sama> http://img.denthan.info/product/91571_1253616620.jpg
[14:09] <airtonix> nbubuntu: you remember some distinct phrase in the file you created?
[14:09] <sama> ok, im not english native guy, i want to ask: how to call this in english ? http://img.denthan.info/product/91571_1253616620.jpg
[14:10] <sama> sorry it not relax with linux
[14:10] <purplefool> sipior, how do i do that? apt-get and the package? or do i need to specify where the packages go?
[14:10] <sama> i need that name to seach, dont know the keywork so i cant search
[14:10] <thegoodcushion> sama: try #ubuntu-offtopic
[14:10] <sama> ok, thx thegoodcushion
[14:10] <thegoodcushion> sama: I'm not sure what the object is, otherwise I'd tell you
[14:10] <sipior> purplefool: apt-get install --reinstall <packagename>
[14:10] <Lucifer_> Sama: based on the text on the side, it's a "Stereo mixing amplifier"
[14:11] <Damien_Garrido> sama> it's written on it "stereo mixing amplifier"
[14:11] <sama> ok many thank, Lucifer_
[14:11] <Roasted> Question - I installed Windows 7 on a 250gb SATA drive. I left 30gb untouched for Ubuntu to install later. I fire up Ubuntu and it says the drive is 100% unallocated. yet if I reboot, Windows 7 is there. What gives?
[14:11] <Daveus> I got a huge problem .. I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid on my brothers laptop. And after we've installed the ATI drivers for his graphic card the computer wount start... Whats the problem? Is it the driver that's old?
[14:11] <airtonix> nbubuntu: i often find myself looking at a number of text files that have no extension and i need to find the files that only have the phrase "from django import http", so i run : grep -Rin 'from django import http' ./
[14:11] <sama> thanks Damien_Garrido

[14:11] <Daveus> I got a huge problem .. I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid on my brothers laptop. And after we've installed the ATI drivers for his graphic card the computer wount start... Whats the problem? Is it the driver that's old?
[14:12] <testingfoneclien> nebody home
[14:12] <airtonix> nbubuntu: that gives me a list of files that contain the phrase 'from django import http' which live under the folder i ran the command from
[14:12] <supercabbage> I backed up my entire / directory. I need to restore the mySQL database and tables from this backup. Where are these within the file system?
[14:12] <nbubuntu> airtonix : i dont even remember the phrase
[14:12] <airtonix> supercabbage: /var/lib/mysql
[14:13] <airtonix> nbubuntu: i'd try to remember something unique from the document
[14:13] <metroider> i want to install something to monitor my cpu temperature, any recommendations?
[14:13] <airtonix> nbubuntu: if you're lucky it might still be in the "recent documents" menu of gedit if it was a recently edited or createed file
[14:14] <airtonix> metroider: depends on how you want to monitor it?
[14:14] <Lucifer_> metroider: what type of computer is it? I know for Dell computers at least, i8kmon works
[14:14] <MonkeyDust> can someone provide a direct link to instructions as how to restore ubuntu claasic to defaults?
[14:14] <nettezzaumana> hello
[14:14] <Daveus> I got a huge problem .. I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid on my brothers laptop. And after we've installed the ATI drivers for his graphic card the computer wount start... Whats the problem? Is it the driver that's old?
[14:14] <metroider> Lucifer_: i have a thinkpad t400
[14:14] <supercabbage> What's the default root password? I need to su root
[14:14] <Migi32> metroider: right mouse button on a panel > add to panel > hardware sensors monitor?
[14:14] <airtonix> !root | supercabbage
[14:14] <llutz_> supercabbage: use sudo, no need for su/root-pw
[14:15] <Cube``> i just got a nvidia geforce 520, and ubuntu wont boot
[14:15] <Cube``> i just got a nvidia geforce 520, and ubuntu wont boot
[14:15] <nettezzaumana> why are the most of UNIX ppl calling me "Retard" just because of i'm using ubuntu ?
[14:15] <Lucifer_> supercabbage: I don't think there is a default one, but "sudo su" makes you root using your password
[14:15] <bazhang> nettezzaumana, take it elsewhere please
[14:15] <metroider> airtonix: something small like a panel app (if they work with unity or a small desktop thing
[14:15] <werdnA_> try  >sudo vi /blah/blah
[14:15] <locum> nettezzaumana,  wtf?
[14:15] <chalcedony> can anyone help me with skype on linux? (ubuntu 10.04) it starts to load and then vanishes the icon
[14:15] <Quantum_Ion> nettezzaumana, because they expect you to be using a hard core unix like freebsd
[14:15] <supercabbage> I could su root on my old Ubuntu box
[14:15] <XuMuK> sudo -s / sudo -i does it too
[14:15] <supercabbage> I think i had to set a password or something I can't remember
[14:15] <nettezzaumana> seems so
[14:15] <Quantum_Ion> nettezzaumana, Ubuntu Linux is Unix-like but not really Unix
[14:16] <airtonix> metroider: well gnome panel has the system monitor applet
[14:16] <nettezzaumana> Quantum_Ion: thx
[14:16] <Quantum_Ion> nettezzaumana, The closest thing you can get to a free UNIX OS is http://www.freebsd.org, or pcbsd
[14:16] <metroider> airtonix: i can't seem to add things to the panel in 11.04 --i assumed it was a unity thing
[14:16] <supercabbage> ermmm.. this is new
[14:16] <airtonix> supercabbage: setting a root password is asking for lulz. just use sudo su.
[14:17] <supercabbage> sudo cd mysql/
[14:17] <supercabbage> sudo: cd: command not found
[14:17] <airtonix> metroider: yeah well 11.04 is another beast.
[14:17] <metroider> airtonix: if i right click on the top panel nothing happens
[14:17] <supercabbage> ???
[14:17] <airtonix> supercabbage: you can't sudo cd. ...
[14:17] <Quantum_Ion> nettezzaumana, try pcbsd its easier to configure http://www.pcbsd.org
[14:17] <nettezzaumana> Quantum_Ion: i'm using openbsd|sunOS-forks .. but
[14:17] <llutz_> supercabbage: use "sudo -i"    sudo cd is nonsense
[14:17] <Roasted> Question - I installed Windows 7 on a 250gb SATA drive. I left 30gb untouched for Ubuntu to install later. I fire up Ubuntu and it says the drive is 100% unallocated. yet if I reboot, Windows 7 is there. What would cause this?
[14:17] <supercabbage> I'm in :P
[14:17] <metroider> airtonix: is there another sensor option?
[14:18] <airtonix> metroider: probably, but it's not in the panel. you could try conky as a desktop background component
[14:18] <supercabbage> Where are the databases themselves in var/lib/mysql?
[14:18] <airtonix> metroider: but you'll need to install lm-sensors
[14:18] <Quantum_Ion> nettezzaumana, Yeah those BSD Operating systems are closer to the real Unix then Linux
[14:18] <pigiman1> hey, does anyone knows how to use apt-get install for Zend Framework 1.11.5 ?
[14:18] <dr_willis> !find zend
[14:18] <airtonix> pigiman1: apt-cache search zend
[14:18] <Quantum_Ion> nettezzaumana, Linux is just a kernel with a bunch of GNU software wrapped around the kernel
[14:19] <MonkeyDust> folx, ik heb ubuntu classic (mét compiz) verknoeid, hoe kan ik alles terugzetten naar de defaults?
[14:19] <MonkeyDust> wrong channel
[14:19] <nettezzaumana> Quantum_Ion: but for masochits if you want it use as pretty robust and flexible desktop
[14:19] <pigiman1> airtonix: yeah but its not 1.11.5
[14:19] <Quantum_Ion> nettezzaumana, right
[14:19] <pigiman1> its 1.10 I think
[14:19] <Quantum_Ion> nettezzaumana, Ubuntu Linux is easy to use
[14:19] <Quantum_Ion> and gives you that Linux like flavor
[14:19] <airtonix> pigiman1: look for a ppa then otherwise weep and cry or compile your own
[14:19] <Quantum_Ion> I mean Unix like flavor
[14:19] <nettezzaumana> hmm
[14:20] <airtonix> pigiman1: i often weep and cry
[14:20] <nettezzaumana> Quantum_Ion: i'm just tired from reinventing wheels while using !Linux desktop
[14:20] <MonkeyDust> i accidentally corrupted ubuntu classic (with effects), after deactivating unity, i cannot launch metacity, alt-f2 won't work either, ctrl-alt-backspace won't work,  hints & tips?
[14:21] <dr_willis> MonkeyDust:  check the webupd8 posting on how to 'reset unity, gnome and compiz' back to defaults?
[14:21] <MonkeyDust> dr_willis: did not find it
[14:21] <dr_willis> i may have it at http://delicious.com/dr_willis
[14:22] <dr_willis> webupd8 has a search feature. :)
[14:22] <scensis> I'm having some trouble with flash streaming online. It works just fine, but the moment i enter full screen it tends to 'lag'. Is there a reason for this?
[14:22] <dr_willis> scensis:  thats been an on again and off again issue with flash for ages.
[14:22] <scensis> dr_willis: Hmm, in linux or every OS?
[14:23] <dr_willis> adobe dosent care much for linux. so their flash gets the short end of the support stick.
[14:23] <dr_willis> flash under windows is rather laggy at times also. :) but we dont want to start that rant session
[14:24] <scensis> dr_willis: Hehe, it worked on windows. But i'd rather have lag than windows :p
[14:24] <dr_willis> hopefully soon - video via html5 will get commonplace
[14:24] <Chatter364> Should I update to Natty, I'm still using Lucid?
[14:24] <dr_willis> ive rarely had flash issues here on my linux machines. but i dont use a lot of flash video sites
[14:24] <Chatter364> Is Natty good and stable?
[14:24] <dr_willis> Chatter364:  if you want the new features.
[14:24] <dr_willis> Chatter364:  if theres nothing in it you need. why bother.
[14:24] <scensis> dr_willis: Hm, ok.
[14:25] <Chatter364> dr_willis, I'm always looking to speed things up
[14:25] <rumpe1> Chatter364, not as stable as an older release...
[14:25] <Chatter364> ok
[14:25] <nerdshell> is there a channel about ubuntu server ?
[14:25] <scensis> Another thing. in Natty, i got this "mac look-a-like bar" to the left. And i want to move it. Is that possible?
[14:25] <Roasted> Question - I installed Windows 7 on a 250gb SATA drive. I left 30gb untouched for Ubuntu to install later. I fire up Ubuntu and it says the drive is 100% unallocated. yet if I reboot, Windows 7 is there. What would cause this?
[14:26] <bazhang> nerdshell, #ubuntu-server
[14:26] <nerdshell> bazhang: thanks
[14:27] <bazhang> scensis, there are third party apps in ppa to do some things with it, doubt you can move its location though
[14:27] <bazhang> scensis, better to just use classic and install a dock
[14:27] <dr_willis> scensis:  thats the unity panel. You dont move it.. check the various 'how to use unity' sites/guides
[14:27] <scensis> Ok
[14:27] <dr_willis> May as well try out unity its to be the new standard desktop on ubuntu it seems.
[14:28] <dr_willis> It  takes some getting used to.
[14:28] <TheLostSoul> morning
[14:28] <dr_willis> I just wish they had put together a 'quick using unity guide/url' on the desktop
[14:28] <scensis> Yea, i will try it. Just though i could "edit" it a little :p
[14:28] <scensis> true
[14:28] <mehdi> hey guys does anyone here know about joliOS?
[14:28] <dr_willis> there are many things you can tweak with it. but nothing radical
[14:29] <TheLostSoul> anyone know any good python IDE for ubuntu?
[14:29] <bazhang> mehdi, its not supported here
[14:29] <dr_willis> mehdi:  its an unsupported (by this channel) ubuntu variant, used to be called JoliCloud.
[14:29] <unfa> Maybe Geany? :D
[14:29] <unfa> Simple and nice.
[14:29] <scensis> So i would have to live with it to the left, instead of at the bottom?
[14:29] <hungryhubby> yes dr_willis
[14:29] <mehdi> so wich channel should i go?
[14:29] <dr_willis> mehdi:  they have threir own support channels and forums. but its support is rather lacking in ways.
[14:29] <mehdi> #JoliCloud?
[14:29] <bazhang> !alis | mehdi
[14:29] <skumara> does desktop users in ubuntu need proxy server while surfing internet?
[14:30] <bazhang> skumara, no
[14:30] <vbgunz> I just upgraded from an nvidia card to an ati card. I used the additional drivers gui to install the radeon drivers. I do not have anyway to list or set powerstates. how do I list and set powerstates for my radeon card? I do have aticonfig but don't have --list-powerstates or --set-powerstate
[14:30] <dr_willis> mehdi:  try it and see. or try #jolios or check the things homepage for its forums
[14:30] <mehdi> ok guys tanx
[14:31] <dr_willis> I wish the JoliOS guys would work with   the ubuntu people to have a 'Joli-desktop' package i could just install. :)
[14:31] <skumara> join #jolios
[14:31] <compdoc> its all too joli for me
[14:31] <supercabbage> I've copied the contents of the backed up /var/lib/mysql into the right directory but its only showing information_schema. Any ideas?
[14:32] <scensis> dr_willis: I can't find any "how to unity" on google. Do you know where i could read more about it?
[14:33] <DJones> scensis: Is this any use http://castrojo.tumblr.com/post/4795149014/the-power-users-guide-to-unity
[14:33] <hungryhubby> scensis: goto omgubuntu.co.uk
[14:33] <dr_willis> scensis:  webupd8 web site and omgubuntu sites have dozens of articals on it, Check my delicious.com/dr_willis links also
[14:33] <llutz_> supercabbage: correct permissions? backed up using mysqldump? restarted mysqld?
[14:33] <dr_willis> One site has a 'unity keyboard shortcuts' wallpaper that you sould use for a few days :)
[14:33] <scensis> Thanks !:D

[14:34] <llutz_> nbubuntu: find ~/ -type f ! -name"*.*" -print0|xargs -0 file -i|grep "text/plain"            use this to find only files without extension
[14:34] <vbgunz> anybody know how to change ati powerstates? --set-powerstate nor --list-powerstates work with my aticonfig
[14:34] <hungryhubby> roasted its partition table error fix it with some software like partition dr

[14:42] <dr0id> Pici:  i know, but i want to understand that error message, never had that before (ohh, and i upgraded my system to 11.04, is that related ?)
[14:42] <bil21al> can any body tell me the  code which is run in terminal to add the  apport information in the bug????
[14:42] <grendal-prime> oy anyone compiled packages from source lately?

[15:06] <hungryhubby> iam doing this:apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[15:07] <hungryhubby> should i stop this
[15:07] <Dazzled> bif001, ah, k, yeah I found something like that http://blog.loftninjas.org/2010/11/30/script-hacks-waiting-for-the-internet/
[15:07] <Dazzled> Dr_Willis, never heard of sing, will look into it :)
[15:07] <bazhang> hungryhubby, thats not minimal
[15:07] <Dr_Willis> hungryhubby:  that wil isntall the normal kubuntu-desktop like if you had installed it from cd.
[15:07] <Dr_Willis> Dazzled:  yea. I used it years ago. was just a little ping variant that was designed for use in scripting via its return codes.
[15:08] <oal> Is it possible to get a "drop down terminal" in ubuntu, like when you press f12, it slides down above other windows? I remember I used that in KDE a while ago
[15:08] <Dr_Willis> Dazzled:  'scriptable ping' i think was another name it used.
[15:08] <bazhang> oal, guake?
[15:08] <Dr_Willis> oal:  guake,  and a dozen other viarants.
[15:08] <Damien_Garrido> In Ubuntu 11.04, using Gnome, in System -> Preference -> Network Proxy Preferences: Is it possible to set/change login/password for "Automatic Proxy Configuration URL" (applying System Wide or not) ? Thanks for your help !
[15:08] <oal> Thanks, bazhang and Dr_Willis :)
[15:09] <Dr_Willis> i wonder if there be a terminal lens some time soon. :)
[15:09] <Dr_Willis> !info tilde
[15:09] <Dr_Willis> guake, tilde ? tilda? and i recall trying out about 3 others once.
[15:09] <bazhang> its tilda
[15:10] <oal> And while we're at it. What IRC client do you guys use?
[15:10] <Dr_Willis> oal:  whatever one we feel like. :) depends on your needs and tasted
[15:10] <Dr_Willis> tastes
[15:10] <hungryhubby> shud i stop that command and go 4 minimal desktop.....whats the command to get plasma desktop with some basic apps like dolphin and okacular
[15:10] <bazhang> oal, xchat irssi weechat konversation quassel are all used, and a few others
[15:10] <Dr_Willis> using kvirc right now. :)
[15:10] <Dr_Willis> wechat is my fave.
[15:10] <oal> I've used xchat before, but I didn't like it. Thanks for suggestions
[15:10] <Dr_Willis> wee-chat
[15:11] <Dr_Willis> oal:  dont confuse xchat with xchat-gnome  they are very differnt
[15:11] <oal> Dr_Willis: ah, ok
[15:11] <Dr_Willis> everyone seems to hate xchat-gnome
[15:12] <yassine_hell> hey
[15:12] <yassine_hell> what am i doing wrong here : "mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda5 /media/part 2 yassine -o force" ???
[15:12] <robin0800> Dr_Willis, I like it
[15:12] <bencc> CarlFK: I see the connection I created manually under /system/networking/connections/1 but I don't see in what key the static IP is set
[15:12] <Dr_Willis> yassine_hell:  whats the 2 in there for?
[15:12] <xevil> !info nvidia-96
[15:12] <Dr_Willis> yassine_hell:  use a mountpoint wiothout spaces in the name
[15:13] <yassine_hell> Dr_Willis that the name of the hard drive
[15:13] <pythonirc1011> I've 10 ubuntu servers and I would like to syncronize actions that I take on one to propagate on others. What is the best tool for this kind of work?
[15:13] <Keegers> https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/159277
[15:13] <Dr_Willis> yassine_hell:  you can use any name you want.  spaces will require you to quote or escape the space.
[15:13] <greenmang0> Dr_Willis, pure plain xchat awesome ... the one which ships with ubuntu sucks
[15:13] <Dr_Willis> greenmang0:  the normal xchat has been dumbed down over the years also sadly. :(
[15:14] <yassine_hell> Dr_Willis: ok i will try it
[15:14] <Dr_Willis> it used to have much more power-user irc type defaults.
[15:14] <Dr_Willis> yassine_hell:  issues with spaces in anmes/paths are commonplace. best to get out of the habbit of using spaces.. use a _ if you want
[15:14] <pythonirc1011> what tools do you guys use to manage multiple ubuntu boxes? any pointers?
[15:15] <yassine_hell> Dr_Willis :) worked thx ^^
[15:15] <Dr_Willis> pythonirc1011:  ssh :)
[15:15] <pythonirc1011> Dr_Willis: So I ssh to 10 servers one by one? or write scripts to mirror any apt-get installs?
[15:15] <yassine_hell> another question
[15:16] <Dr_Willis> pythonirc1011:  there are multi-ssh tools out for doing stuff like that..
[15:16] <CarlFK> bencc: huh.  yeah, I don't see my settings either.
[15:16] <yassine_hell> how can i split a text file with "split -l" to 1GB each ?
[15:16] <Migi32> if you use a live cd and mount an existing drive (but don't do anything with it) will it write anything to that drive at all?
[15:16] <Migi32> I lost some files in the upgrade 8.04->10.04 a while ago and would like to see if I can go recover them with the 8.04 live cd
[15:16] <Dr_Willis> pythonirc1011:  you will want to set up an apt-cacher-ng server if doing somthing like that also.
[15:16] <pythonirc1011> I was thinking of tools like zabbix...wondering if anyone uses these?
[15:17] <guest_> hello
[15:17] <Dr_Willis> !info zabbix
[15:17] <guest_> pls....
[15:17] <bif001> yassine_hell: use wc -l to count the lines, then do the math.
[15:17] <Dr_Willis> !ask | Guest_
[15:17] <Migi32> I lost the files because 8.04 didn't recognize my 2 drives as a RAID drive, and 10.04 did.
[15:18] <pythonirc1011> Dr_Willis: or puppet
[15:18] <guest_> anyone knows how to connect my korg em-1 with xubuntu?
[15:18] <Dr_Willis> a 1 gb text file.. is a lot of text...
[15:18] <yassine_hell> Dr_Willis : the original file is 85Gb ...
[15:18] <Dr_Willis> whats a korg-em-1 anyway?
[15:18] <guest_esc> a drum machine
[15:18] <guest_esc> midi connection maybe..
[15:19] <Dr_Willis> yassine_hell:  i have to wonder at the logic of keeping such a huge file. :) but I imagine its somting some company did
[15:19] <lrojas> hi all
[15:19] <bif001> yassine_hell: or use split -b
[15:19] <yassine_hell> Dr_Willis: nah :D its just a small wordlist ^^
[15:19] <lrojas> i just installed a debian 6 VM and i am a bit confused, to install the ssh server in ubuntu i issue the command apt-get install openssh-server openssh-client, the few things i seen in debian 6 sugest i just need to do apt-get install ssh -y
[15:19] <yassine_hell> bif001 well i need each file to be 1Gb big
[15:20] <lrojas> can somebody explain to me the diference, i thougth ubuntu and debian shared repositories
[15:20] <StR> Hi there!  Anyone having problems with their banshee?
[15:20] <bazhang> lrojas, they dont
[15:20] <Dr_Willis> lrojas:  could be 'ssh' is a meta package  that pulls in the others..
[15:20] <bif001> yassine_hell: split -b splits on bytes
[15:20] <yassine_hell> :o
[15:20] <TheLostSoul> lrojas: i believe ubuntu was built from debian but then took its own path essentially breaking away
[15:20] <yassine_hell> split -b 1024 textfile.txt ???
[15:21] <Dr_Willis> 1024 bytes = 1 k   :)
[15:21] <guest_esc> you think  I'll find a better channel (fr audio stuff eg.)
[15:21] <hungryhubby> is there a guide to kubuntu desktop
[15:21] <lrojas> thanks all
[15:21] <bazhang> hungryhubby, try #kubuntu
[15:21] <Dr_Willis> hungryhubby:  Ive not seen one. #kubuntu people may know of one. the generic KDE guides proberly will work
[15:21] <bif001> yassine_hell more like split -b<PHONE_NUMBER>
[15:22] <yassine_hell> Dr_Willis ... damn >.> mmm and for one GB it would be ..
[15:22] <StR> so... I'm the only one with problems with my banshee
[15:22] <dean_> anyone know how to make a cd with mp3 in it so it plays on a cd player?
[15:22] <bazhang> dean_, sure
[15:22] <bif001> dean: k3b will do it
[15:22] <Dr_Willis> 1024*1024*1024     = err.. i got lost..
[15:22] <bazhang> dean_, whats the burning app you're using
[15:22] <yassine_hell> xD
[15:22] <Dr_Willis> dean_:  you make an audio cd.. not a data cd
[15:22] <dean_> bazhang, I was gonna use mp3cd but it says it makes them into .wav
[15:22] <yassine_hell> 1,073,741,824
[15:23] <hungryhubby> ok does apt-get have a gui
[15:23] <Dr_Willis> many cd players these days can play mp3 files :)
[15:23] <Dr_Willis> !synaptic
[15:23] <yassine_hell> thx bif001 ^
[15:23] <yassine_hell> ^^
[15:23] <bazhang> hungryhubby, for ubuntu? kubuntu? what
[15:23] <Dr_Willis> hungryhubby:  theres several. the software center is one such gui.
[15:23] <axisys> how do I get alert when update available in natty + ubuntu-classic ?
[15:23] <GD__> where  are you  from?  why   everyone here speak English..?
[15:24] <Dr_Willis> axisys:  its allready set up that way. It might only check once a day.
[15:24] <hungryhubby> usc doesnt provide information about kubuntu desktop pack
[15:24] <bif001> yassine_hell: btw, if it's a word list, I assume you've uniqued it with sort -u?
[15:24] <yassine_hell> bif001 ...whats that...
[15:24] <papaf> how can I understand why, after upgrading to 11.04 from 10.10, unity-window-decorator keeps locking up my desktop?
[15:24] <axisys> Dr_Willis: i dont remember seeing one in few months..
[15:24] <Dr_Willis> hungryhubby:  what sort of info are you expecting?
[15:25] <axisys> i just ran aptitude upgrade and I got 12 pkgs waiting to be upgraded
[15:25] <CarlFK> bencc: I am going to ask how to set static IPs on  http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
[15:25] <axisys> aptitude full-upgrade rather
[15:25] <axisys> Dr_Willis: ^
[15:25] <hungryhubby> about kubuntu-desktop package or the minimal package to install a kubuntu desktop
[15:25] <bif001> yassine_hell: you say it's a word list, I assume for a dictionary attack. Are all the words in it unique?
[15:25] <Dr_Willis> axisys:  a few months and thers only 12 packages? :)  thats impressive thers so few.
[15:26] <GD__> my English is very pool     how can i  learn from you ...?
[15:26] <axisys> Dr_Willis: i have been running aptitude full-upgrade from time to time ..
[15:26] <bif001> yassine_hell: cat wordlist | sort -u > wordlist.sort will do that for you
[15:26] <Dr_Willis> hungryhubby:  your use of the term 'minimal kubuntu desktop' is a little vague. You could just install the 'kde' package i guess.
[15:26] <yassine_hell> bif001 well i used "Crunch" to generate the list .. 8 8 length with mixalpha-numeric
[15:26] <bencc> CarlFK: this looks interesting http://www.arachnoid.com/linux/NetworkManager/index.html
[15:26] <bazhang> hungryhubby, you got a link before
[15:26] <axisys> Dr_Willis: do you know how to check if it is enabled?
[15:26] <axisys> Dr_Willis: or disabled for my case
[15:27] <Dr_Willis> axisys:  never noticed a way to disable it.. or reenavble it.  I tend to do it by hand once a week .
[15:27] <dean_> bif001, I downloaded k3b but it isn't appearing in my apps
[15:27] <bencc> CarlFK: hopes it will work
[15:27] <axisys> Dr_Willis: hmm..
[15:27] <bif001> yassine_hell: I don't know crunch, but it is worth checking if your lines are unique
[15:27] <bazhang> hungryhubby, kde-plasma-desktop
[15:27] <bif001>  dean_: did you install it?
[15:27] <yassine_hell> bif001 yep each line is unique
[15:28] <bazhang> GD__, try ##english or #ubuntu-offtopic
[15:28] <dean_> bif001, yeah it crashed, do I need KDE? cuz I'm using gnome
[15:28] <Pici> GD__: For Chinese, there is also #ubuntu-cn
[15:28] <bazhang> dean_, no need
[15:28] <Waynegrow> Good morning !
[15:29] <bazhang> dean_, you'll need to install libk3blame iirc
[15:29] <kog1> hello,I want to make dictionary of stardict,anyone can help?
[15:29] <bif001> dean_: umm, it might need some kde libs, but the installer, synaptic, apt-get, or whatever, should take care of that.
[15:29] <bif001>  bazhang: dean_, you'll need to install libk3blame iirc << that too. 8-)
[15:29] <kog1> I know stardic-editor ,but I dont know put it where
[15:30] <dean_> bazhang, bif001, downloading that now :)
[15:30] <Guest46668> Hello?
[15:30] <bazhang> Guest46668, hi

[15:31] <bif001> dean_: try starting it from a shell, you might get clues as to why

But nothing helps.Maybe somebody will be so kind as to take controll over my computer and try to find a solution???

[15:33] <NaFiann> Hi, is there a way to get the behaviour of the kde notification system in gnome? In particular, I want to be able to access some messages long after they've been, in case I'm not there to see them.
[15:33] <bazhang> Guest46668, could be your webcam is not supported
[15:33] <nemo> Guest46668: what laptop model, and mic/webcam models
[15:33] <NaFiann> for example, for notifications of new chat messages, or download completions
[15:34] <Guest46668> Ok it is not that important. But the microphone is.
[15:34] <zxiest> Hello there
[15:34] <zxiest> How can I write on a specific drive?

[15:37] <cutout> Hi, skype has been crashing and failing to start for the last two days on both 11.04 and 10.10, does anyone know why?
[15:37] <nemo> Guest46668: also. have you checked to see if the mic is muted in alsamixer ?
[15:38] <CarlFK> bencc: looks the same as what I see in gconf-editor.  have you found your static IP yet?  I just posted to the mail list, so giving up looking for now
[15:38] <bencc> CarlFK: still not sure how to disable the previous one
[15:38] <mtrg> why do my installing packages cannot be authenticated? is this normal?
[15:38] <Jcook_5xData> cutout, http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/05/skype-crashed-today-heres-a-fix/
[15:38] <bencc> bencc: what are you trying to do?
[15:38] <nemo> Guest46668: allo? t'est encore la?
[15:39] <bencc> CarlFK: I already have a static IP but wanted to migrate it to another machine
[15:39] <Guest46668> nemo the mic is not muted...... as i said i ve been fighting against this problem since 2 years....
[15:39] <Guest46668> LOL
[15:39] <elros> exit
[15:39] <CarlFK> bencc: did you see the IP in the --dump?  I didn't see mine
[15:39] <nemo> Guest46668: ok. I'm just checking.  since you were unfamiliar w/ how to get card details, I thought you might not have tried alsamixer
[15:39] <nemo> Guest46668: again. you haven't confirmed - have you looked in alsamixer.
[15:39] <Guest46668> where to i find the tool to execute what you want me to execute? the menu is wiered under 11.04
[15:39] <GD__> i am back !  a little people talking in the #ubuntu-cn ...
[15:40] <nemo> Guest46668: you can log into gnome classic from the login screen to get a more normal desktop
[15:40] <aleksil> hello
[15:40] <bencc> CarlFK: it's under 1/ipv4/addresses the syntax is weird
[15:40] <nemo> Guest46668: open a gnome terminal (you can search for terminal)
[15:40] <bencc> CarlFK: read the blog post I sent you and the link from the mailing list
[15:40] <aleksil> I have a problem with my laptop's webcam.
[15:40] <cutout> Jcook_5xData: thanks alot :)
[15:40] <bencc> CarlFK: I still don't understand how to disable the auto connection of Eth0
[15:40] <Jcook_5xData> cutout, np
[15:41] <nemo> Guest46668: I repeat though. have you checked the alsamixer utility *in particular*  - length of time of "fighting" doesn't mean much ;)
[15:41] <metroider> does anyone know how to stop the screensaver when watching flash video?
[15:41] <nemo> metroider: inhibit applet?
[15:41] <metroider> nemo: is it a gnome panel app?  i am using unity.
[15:42] <nemo> metroider: it is
[15:42] <Guest46668> nemo: i tried everything. but i am a newcomer so i mostly dont understand what i am doing.
[15:42] <xendras> getting an unusual error whenever i try to open software centre..
[15:42] <dean_> I'm using Brasero does anyone know why it's not picking up that I have a cd? it's lookin to save to an image
[15:42] <aleksil> Cheese crashes after a few minutes of use, after that it'll crash immediately after starting with an X Window System error.
[15:42] <xendras> Could not initialize the package information
[15:42] <xendras> An unresolvable problem occurred while initializing the package information.
[15:42] <xendras> Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message:
[15:42] <xendras> 'E:Encountered a section with no Package: header, E:Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/in.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_natty_main_binary-i386_Packages, E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.'
[15:42] <nemo> Guest46668: did you try alsamixer. yes or no.
[15:42] <FloodBot1> xendras: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:42] <Guest46668> please say me where is the programm to run sudo things....
[15:42] <metroider> nemo: i would need something that doesn go in the panel
[15:42] <zxiest> nemo I know I have a couple of drives on my server. /dev/sda and /dev/sdf . how can I write on /dev/sdf ?
[15:42] <Guest46668> i cannot find it anymore in this version
[15:42] <nemo> Guest46668: also. I haven't asked for any sudo anything
[15:42] <nemo> Guest46668: log out.  click on your username at login screen, choose Gnome Classic at the bottom of the screen. log in using that instead.
[15:42] <nemo> Guest46668: you should be able to find everything again
[15:43] <nemo> metroider: oh well. inhibit applet is quite handy.
[15:43] <nemo> metroider: otherwise.  open screensaver and turn it off? :)
[15:43] <Guest46668> nemo can we open a private chat room. I ll turn crazy here.
[15:43] <aleksil> Logging out and back in fixes it for a while but I'd like something less disruptive
[15:43] <aleksil> any tips?
[15:44] <metroider> nemo: yeah, it sounds convenient, i was hoping to avoid having to open the screen saver prefs but maybe i will have to
[15:44] <genii-around> nemo: My current theory is they have an HP with Intel HDA issue soundcard
[15:45] <Guest46668> Oh my god I will turn crazy here. Everybody is writing to everybody and i don t understand nothing anymore.
[15:45] <Guest46668> THIS IS CRAYZY
[15:45] <Guest46668> Nemo are you here?  For fist fucking?
[15:46] <nemo> ok
[15:46] <nemo> you're getting seriously annoying
[15:46] <bazhang> Guest46668, no cursing
[15:46] <CarlFK> bencc: did you see the IP in the --dump?  I didn't see mine.. what I do see:       <key>2/ipv4/addresses</key>      <value>        <list type="int">        </list>
[15:46] <vibhav> hi bazhang
[15:46] <nemo> genii-around: yeah. might be possible that it just needs some custom mod line
[15:46] <metroider> is there a way to run gnome panel apps in unity?
[15:47] <Guest46668> Nemo why are you saying i am getting ennoying?
[15:47] <nemo> genii-around: but I'd like to have 'em check alsamixer first, and I can't even get him to confirm he actually ran that yet
[15:47]  * genii-around slides nemo a strong coffee
[15:47] <nemo> Guest46668: because you've ignored almost everything I've said. you've ignored private messages. yet somehow you focus on completely irrelevant things
[15:47] <nemo> I'd swear you're just a troll
[15:47] <Lungan> Why did my clock in the notification area dissapear inte 11.04?
[15:48] <antihero> Any idea what drivers to get for M-Audio Delta 2496?
[15:48] <antihero> The official site is weird
[15:48] <bencc> how do I disable with a script "Auto etho"?
[15:49] <ikonia> antihero: you're going to struggle with that device
[15:49] <antihero> ikonia: :( How so?
[15:49] <antihero> ikonia: I just want it to play sound.
[15:49] <ikonia> antihero: poor support
[15:50] <antihero> ikonia: Is it possible to get it working at all?
[15:50] <ikonia> antihero: I don't know, but I doubt you'll get any good results out of it
[15:51] <antihero> ikonia: Define "good"
[15:51] <antihero> I'm not realy looking to produce stuff, I just want it to work
[15:51] <pythonirc1011> puppet vs zabbix? any users here?
[15:52] <ikonia> antihero: don't know, do a bit of research for it's linux support, it's pretty much non-existant
[15:52] <Dazzled> anyone knows where Chrome looks for the extension to load?
[15:52] <Dazzled> eg the manifest files
[15:52] <hcl2> can someone running the latest ubuntu run this command for me?:  find /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ -name 'amd74*'
[15:52] <Dazzled> I get an error but can't find a way to tell Chrome not to load it
[15:52] <CarlFK> bencc: I don't trust that blog post given "because DHCP is possibly  the most obtuse, shortsighted piece of software ever written, in order  to resolve local addresses I use static addressing and a list of IPs in  the /etc/hosts file of each machine."
[15:53] <bencc> CarlFK: works for me
[15:53] <CarlFK> bencc: that's lame.  I have the same requirements and use dhcp+ddns, 0 custom config on the clients, life is good.
[15:53] <bencc> CarlFK: this can help you understand how to edit it manually http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/change-ubuntu-server-from-dhcp-to-a-static-ip-address/
[15:53] <Dr_Willis> My router has dhcp settings to give  the same ip to machines based on their MAC..
[15:53] <laperr> hc12 try  amd64
[15:54] <hcl2> no, it's amd74xx
[15:54] <CarlFK> Dr_Willis: impossible!! must use etc/hosts! :)
[15:54] <robin0800> Dazzled, go to tools extensions on the menu
[15:54] <hcl2> .ko
[15:54] <laperr> ok
[15:54] <hcl2> I take it it's not there
[15:54] <bencc> CarlFK: dump with gconftool-2 to xml file, import it in the new machine and edit /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf to disable the default "Auto eth0"
[15:54] <Dr_Willis> CarlFK:  i do that also.  but i have a 5 pc lan. So tis more to just make things easier for me.
[15:55] <Dr_Willis> I edit /etc/hosts to block some spammy Advertiement sites.  :)
[15:55] <CarlFK> bencc: 3rd time: did you see your IP in the gconftool-2 --dump ?
[15:55] <Dazzled> robin0800, I see only one Extension there, it doesn't mention the one it throws an error about
[15:55] <Dazzled> robin0800, so I'm guessing a config file is corrupt
[15:56] <CarlFK> Dr_Willis: if you block adds, you will miss out on fantastic offers for amazing products.
[15:56] <Dr_Willis> CarlFK:  is  see those on my android phone. :)
[15:57] <Dr_Willis> Is there a differance btween   "USB 2' and "USB 1' cables? I have a whole box of old and new USB cables.  wondering if i accidently using a USB 1 cable on my Ubuntu box. may be the reason for my HD speeds being a little slow.
[15:57] <nemo> genii-around: dude was more cooperative in private chat
[15:57] <CarlFK> Dr_Willis: I need that app.   actually, where do you see them? guessing browsing.  I have a G1, so i don't do too much browsing cuz it hurts
[15:58] <nemo> genii-around: indeed, microphone was muted in alsamixer (but not, apparently in the pulseaudio based gnome mixer)
[15:58] <bencc> CarlFK: 4th time. yes
[15:58] <nemo> genii-around: do you happen to recall what that page is with per-model changes to sound settings?
[15:58] <bencc> CarlFK: read the blog.
[15:58] <nemo> genii-around: I've found it on ubuntu.com before, but always have trouble googling it and fail to bookmark
[15:58] <Dr_Willis> CarlFK:  all the games  :) i got adblocking in my Browser on the phone for the most part.
[15:58] <CarlFK> bencc: the blog doesn't agree with what i am seeing.  I have a static set, but --dump gave me an empty list
[15:58] <Doonz> hey guys im trying to script something so that it will restart a process in an already established screen session. screen -X -m -S sessionid program   <-- is that correct?
[15:59] <genii-around> nemo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1043568 are ones I've found useful for the HDA stuff
[15:59] <script_> how do I use filezilla? where do I get a list of the existent ports and hosts?
[15:59] <CarlFK> Dr_Willis: ah, games. yeah, I have to stay away from that.  too much time disappears when I start playing games.
[15:59] <Logan_> script_: /join #filezilla
[16:00] <nemo> genii-around: hm. there was this page with a long list of models though :-/
[16:00] <nemo> oh well
[16:00] <genii-around> nemo: Yeah, lemme check my archived bookmarks, hangon
[16:01] <zule> can anyone tell me how to make 11.04 desktop boot into a text only mode so the gui is only started by running startx?
[16:01] <Logan_> !text | zule
[16:01] <Dr_Willis> zule:  the kernel has a 'text' option you can replace 'quiet splash' with 'text'
[16:01] <zule> thanks!
[16:03] <mtrg> anyone here fails to verify packages with verification?

[16:16] <lotuspsychje> "Uncompression error -- System Halted". In my case, this was RAM problem. You can verify this by launching a Memtest86 with a live CD.
[16:16] <Logan_> anonymous010101: Do you have a question about Ubuntu?
[16:16] <v01dd> no, the disk is 32 bit

[16:21] <lotuspsychje> v01dd: you never know, i once flashed a toshiba with cdrom
[16:21] <v01dd> the bios does not support boot from USB or i would have installed that way
[16:21] <alien__> how can i make my hard drive boot normall like before,with out the bootloader
[16:21] <tchnkion-wrek-ga> how can one disable ssh from starting automatically on boot?

[16:22] <v01dd> I will try flashing the BIOS via CDrom later once i am off work. Thanks for the input

[16:42] <asdofindia> quick-: how did you use to do it in 20.04?
[16:42] <BluesKaj> quick-, use wget or curl ...curl is good for all video , or for youtube , install youtube-dl
[16:42] <quick-> asdofindia: wat 20.04 ?
[16:43] <dabbish> Any reason why 'enter' doesn't change song in Rhythmbox? Why do Rhythmbox developer hate keyboard shortcuts?
[16:43] <asdofindia> ah, never mind!
[16:43] <slipkid08> morning all
[16:44] <asdofindia> dabbish: linux mint ditches rhythmbox in its next release
[16:44] <asdofindia> for banshee
[16:44] <robin0800> dabbish, rythembox is not very good IMO try banshee
[16:44] <slipkid08> asdofindia, really?
[16:44] <asdofindia> ya, i read somewhere in their blog
[16:44] <Logan_> !ot | asdofindia
[16:44] <ikonia> asdofindia: why is linux mints direction relevant to this cahnnel ?
[16:44] <e-DIO-t> is officially a bug or libnss-ldapd should work with openLDAP in a start_tls envirorment? I've an issue similar to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openldap/+bug/217159, but it should be solved in 0.7.2 libnss. :(
[16:45] <asdofindia> well, i was just saying
[16:45] <dabbish> asdofindia, robin0800, Ok thanks. I will check it out. Although I like Rhythmbox. I just hate it I have to use the mouse if I want to browse around for songs
[16:47] <quick-> BluesKaj: how do i download it with curl ?
[16:48] <asdofindia> curl url      (i thinkkkk that's how)
[16:49] <PwrSurge>  /j #samba
[16:50] <BluesKaj> quick-, you right click on the video then copy the url address , then in the terminal;  curl "maneof video address" , with quotes
[16:51] <erdal> hello guys
[16:51] <erdal> can someone help me
[16:51] <BluesKaj> name of
[16:51] <Arcas> hi I'm having problems with the wireless on my toshiba laptop after upgrading to 11.04 it says device not managed in the network manger  it does show up under iwconfig as wlan0. Any ideas?
[16:51] <erdal> http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?p=61039
[16:51] <erdal> in this topic
[16:51] <erdal> he said "patch it to wine"
[16:51] <erdal> how i patch it ?
[16:53] <quick-> BluesKaj:  where it's stored then ?
[16:54] <kaushal> Hi
[16:54] <sevis_> hi, who could help me with automatic preseeding?
[16:54] <MonkeyDust> !ask| sevis_
[16:55] <djzn> anyone else is getting a different font in LibreOffice
[16:55] <qin> sevis_: You mean torrent?
[16:55] <CarlFK> sevis_:  /j #ubuntu-installer
[16:55] <jimmysparkle> hey, i have a virtualised ubuntu web-server. On tuesday i'll be working from a machine i don't have root to.
[16:55] <jimmysparkle> Ideally I'd edit the /etc/hosts file to point certain domains at my webserver.
[16:55] <jimmysparkle> As I won't have root access, my idea was to setup tinyDNS or equivalent. add my domains there, and then change the browsers proxy to the IP of the server, would that work?
[16:55] <FloodBot1> jimmysparkle: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:56] <BluesKaj> quick th default foldr for downloads is .....surprise !  Downloads
[16:56] <CarlFK> jimmysparkle: how will you setup dns without root?
[16:57] <jimmysparkle> CarlFK: I thought I would be able to change the browsers proxy settings without root - and point them to my server?
[16:57] <kaushal> Any recommended apps in 11.04 to increase productivity ?
[16:57] <asdd> shutdown!!
[16:58] <MonkeyDust> kaushal: that question is too general, more details pls
[16:58] <CarlFK> jimmysparkle: ah, you want to run dns on a box you do have root to.  I think you could just edit etc/hosts on that box.  sounds plausable.
[16:58] <jimmysparkle> my desktop will be an imac that is really locked down (university) but i have my ubuntu webserver virtualised on an SDcard which i will run on virtualbox
[16:59] <sevis_> qin no, i mean netboot install
[16:59] <jimmysparkle> i need the desktop mac to load to projects on the virtualised webserver
[16:59] <Arcas> ok, so it looks like my wireless card shows up and I can successfully perform sudo iwlist wlan0 scan but the network manager doesn't want to manage the connection. Ideas?
[16:59] <jimmysparkle> but I dont *think* i can edit the /etc/hosts of the mac - as I don't have root
[16:59] <qin> sevis_: Yeah, had to knock my brain to jumpstart..
[17:00] <CarlFK> jimmysparkle: um, so you are using the mac browser to hit the server on the VM.  not sure I see why you need any dns/hosts stuff.  just use the IP of the VM
[17:00] <sweb> what is the default permission in home folders for files and folders ?
[17:00] <sweb> 644 ?
[17:02] <jimmysparkle> CarlFK: the framework I use & the web applications I've written all require a domain to be called. It's a large white-label social networking platform. I need on the mac to type blahblahblah.development and that will send the request to the virtualised webserver
[17:02] <nW44b> hello, je peux réinstaller un paquet sans virer toutes ses dépendances ?
[17:02] <nW44b> oups sorry wrong chan :)
[17:03] <CarlFK> jimmysparkle: are you sure about that requirement?  it 'should' all be set in the server's conf file, like etc/apache2/sites-available/foo.conf
[17:04] <f00fSteR> hey guys
[17:05] <Socky_> Hey guys, i just upgraded from 10.04 to 11, and it seems i dont have permissions to connect to my wifi networks now.  when i right click on the network icon in the systray, enable / disable are greyed out.  How do i fix this?
[17:05] <f00fSteR> i have a revocation status on my ssl cert ... it says insecure ... also am getting error status n firefox when i try to go to the site
[17:05] <f00fSteR> (Error code: sec_error_revoked_certificate)
[17:05] <jimmysparkle> CarlFK: I could in theory do quite a lot of leg work and change the application so it would load based on IP & a port number.
[17:05] <jimmysparkle> It's a white-label system, so the platform runs about 10 different sites and it uses the domains to differentiate which is being requested.
[17:05] <Dazzled> Is there a Plymouth channel
[17:06] <jimmysparkle> ideally if I can get the mac desktop firing requests at the web server via spoof domains that would be the preferred solution
[17:06] <dv310p3r> I'm using ubunut 10.04. I've got 4gbs of ram and I am sick and tired of my swap being utlized. I've got my swappiness to 0 and yet it's still getting used. As I write this, i've got 2gb of used Ram and 180 mb of used swap. Whenever my swap gets utilized it really bogs my system down. So the next step I took was to run a script that will move the data out of swap and into ram, but it tells me I don't have enough ram. WTF!
[17:07] <CarlFK> jimmysparkle: ah, yuck.  how about running the proxy in the vm?  and again, I think just /etc/hosts on the proxy box should be fine.  setting the browser to use the proxy sounds sane.
[17:08] <jimmysparkle> CarlFK: any idea how i'd go about doing that? Would I need to install tinyDNS?
[17:08] <Taravel> Hi. Is ext4 a good file system for USB Hard drive? My hard drive is 1800Gb but with ext4 fs i loose 94Gb for lost+found. Do you think NTFS is a smarter choice? The problem is that sometimes (more or less 1 time/year) ubuntu  gives me an error that I can correct only doing scan disk on windows if the disk is partitioned with NTFS.
[17:08] <qin> dv310p3r: swapoff may be handy
[17:09] <vibhav> Taravel,  What about FAT?
[17:09] <dv310p3r> qin, where should I put that?
[17:10] <CarlFK> jimmysparkle: no dns, just the vm's /etc/hosts
[17:10] <vpark> how to download only package files for a Ubuntu package such that it can be reinstalled if required?
[17:10] <CarlFK> jimmysparkle: in the vm, apt-get install squid. it listens on port 8000.  I think thats all you need.
[17:11] <scensis> What else can i use to extract .rar files instead of winrar?
[17:11] <jimmysparkle> CarlFK: so I edit the vm's /etc/hosts file, I enter the VMs ip address & port 8000. and it will just automatically work?
[17:11] <jimmysparkle> after installing squid of course
[17:11] <Taravel> This hard drive is used to store ripped Blu Ray films. Has FAT any problems with big files?
[17:12] <CarlFK> jimmysparkle: I think so.  seems ok in my head :)
[17:12] <jimmysparkle> hah
[17:12] <qin> dv310p3r: In terminal: man swapoff , it will just make your system use only ram, for swap you would need to check harddrive access time, normally it should work sealessly, You realy need swap only for hibernation and some misterious database issues.
[17:12] <jimmysparkle> ill probably be back in here on tuesday calling out your name! :P
[17:12] <scensis> Taravel: Yes, fat doesnt like 4 GIG in my experience
[17:12] <jimmysparkle> thanks for the advice CarlFK
[17:12] <vpark>  how to download only package files for a Ubuntu package such that it can be reinstalled if required?:-(
[17:13] <Necrathex> hi, after upgrade to 11.04, gvfs mounts are now opened in firefox instead of normal nautilus, how do i change this back?
[17:13] <Necrathex> (im using the classic gnome2 desktop)
[17:14] <dv310p3r> qin, thanks, i found how to use it, and it's running right now.
[17:14] <Dr_Willis> Taravel:  4gb max file size.. thats a big limit.
[17:14] <robin0800> vpark, synaptic can do that
[17:14] <Taravel> so this isn't a good choice for me. Can ubuntu read exfat?
[17:14] <Dr_Willis> Taravel:  use ntfs if you want windows compatability
[17:14] <dv310p3r> qin, a few people have told me it should work seamlessly, but it's not. When I check resources and swap is at 0, everything is fine. The moment it goes up from 0 to even 1 mb, everything starts going way slow.
[17:15] <kaushal> Hi
[17:15] <vpark> robin0800: but I don't know where it stores the file
[17:15] <kaushal> is there a way to measure the battery backup time in laptop running Ubuntu 11.04 ?
[17:15] <scensis> What else than winrar can i use to extract .rar files?
[17:15] <Dr_Willis> vpark:  /var/cache/apt or something like that :)
[17:15] <Dr_Willis> scensis:  theres rar tools for linux
[17:15] <Dr_Willis> !rar
[17:16] <Lungan> Why did my clock in the notification area dissapear inte 11.04?
[17:16] <robin0800> vpark, nor me search for it perhaps
[17:16] <scensis> !info unrar-free
[17:16] <qin> dv310p3r: I think it is indexing, or maybe Ubuntu One with cuochdb, or evolution, you may want to see it in htop what is responsible.
[17:16] <Dr_Willis> Lungan:  perhaps the old cliock got replaced by the newer clock program. I would reset the desktop back to ubuntu defaults. theres a clock there by default
[17:17] <jimmysparkle> CarlFK: no luck :( installed squid, it's running and just tried using it on port 8000 but getting "Unable to connect to the proxy server"
[17:17] <Taravel> Dr_Willis: yes but I mentioned a problem using NTFS under Ubuntu. Do you think this was an old problem? The last time that Ubuntu showed me this problem was 1y ago.
[17:17] <Dr_Willis> Taravel:  ive never had issues with ntfs in linux in years...
[17:17] <Taravel> In any case I don't need Windows compatibility
[17:17] <Dr_Willis> ive had more issues with NTFS in windows....
[17:18] <Dr_Willis> Taravel:  then use ext3/4 then
[17:18] <CarlFK> jimmysparkle: oh wait.. 8000 was incorrect.  that's for squid-deb... um... check etc/sometthing/squid/something.conf :)
[17:19] <Taravel> Ok so ext4 is good for a usb Hard Drive? I thought it was designed for a system Hard drive.
[17:19] <Dr_Willis> Taravel:  why would you think that?
[17:19] <Dr_Willis> I use ext4 all the time on my usb hds
[17:19] <Jennifer000> hi
[17:20] <Dr_Willis> now for a FLASH drive.. that raises other potential issues..
[17:20] <jimmysparkle> CarlFK: oh, it's doing something now! ^_^ getting access denied going to google.com
[17:20] <Jennifer000> how do i install openssl dev and zlib dev on ubuntu
[17:20] <robin0800> Taravel, they can be exactly the same
[17:20] <Jennifer000> what is the package name
[17:20] <flametai1> Hey guys I moved my bottom panel over to the left and now it's all messed up o.O http://i54.tinypic.com/ef441.jpg <---- Screenshot of it. Anyone know my problem? o.O
[17:20] <Taravel> Ok It was only a doubt of a noob instilled by the lost+found folder :)
[17:20] <CarlFK> jimmysparkle: looking good.  I figured it would be 20 min to get that far ;)
[17:20] <Dr_Willis> Jennifer000:  try apt-cache search openssl | grep dev
[17:20] <flametai1> Also tried restarting and it's still the same.
[17:20] <Jennifer000> Dr_Willis:  openssl-dev?
[17:21] <Jennifer000> P
[17:21] <Jennifer000> Dr_Willis:  do i need 'openssl' too ?
[17:21] <jimmysparkle> hah
[17:21] <Dr_Willis> Jennifer000:  use the package manager tools and search for it.. one will pull in the others I imagine.
[17:21] <robin0800> Jennifer000, I always use apptitude search for that info
[17:21] <Dr_Willis> It wouldent make much sence to have the -dev and not the actual lib :)
[17:21] <Dr_Willis> !info openssl
[17:21] <Jennifer000> Dr_Willis: i found openssl-dev but couldnt find the zlib -dev
[17:21] <Dr_Willis> !find zlib
[17:21] <Jennifer000> !info openssl-dev
[17:21] <Jennifer000> huh
[17:21] <Jennifer000> doesnt exist
[17:22] <vpark> Dr_Willis: Thanks Dr.
[17:22] <Jennifer000> !find openssl*dev*
[17:22] <Dr_Willis> use the apt-cache search command Jennifer000.
[17:22] <Jennifer000> !find openssl
[17:22] <Dr_Willis> the bot is limited
[17:22] <GauravButola> hello
[17:22] <Jennifer000> Dr_Willis: zlib1g-dev is it?
[17:22] <xo> anybody can help in this room?
[17:22] <Dr_Willis> Jennifer000:  no idea.. looks close.
[17:22] <Taravel> thanks to all!
[17:22] <qin> xo: With?
[17:23] <xo> resoultion. it keeps going back small. ex my laptop is 17" i change it to fit, then it blinks and goes back to 15"
[17:23] <xo> like it's not saving the changes
[17:23] <Jennifer000> Dr_Willis:  cant find openssl-dev
[17:23] <xo> i'm using 11.04
[17:24] <Dr_Willis> Jennifer000:  try apt-cache search openssl | grep dev                       <----------- did you try? Im not on a ubuntu box right now.
[17:24] <jimmysparkle> CarlFK: is there any real reason why I shouldn't just allow from all IP addresses? It's only my virtualised development server
[17:24] <xo> heh
[17:24] <xo> nvm, i didn't save
[17:24] <xo> :x
[17:25] <xo> qin, how do u uninstall programs such as firefox?
[17:25] <Jennifer000> Dr_Willis:  yeah nothing for openssl-dev or similar
[17:25] <Jennifer000> :|
[17:25] <CarlFK> jimmysparkle: prolly fine.
[17:25] <Dr_Willis> broaden the search perhaps search for ssl
[17:25] <Jennifer000> !uninstall > xo
[17:26] <guiri> Could someone take a look at my xorg.conf? I'm getting weird colors on my icons on my iBook G4. There's a DRI problem with mode setting so I created a xorg.conf. http://fpaste.org/P0xT/. Thanks in advance
[17:28] <pozic> Is there a way to assimilate another Linux distribution and get Ubuntu installed on it?
[17:28] <Dr_Willis> pozic:  perhaps clarify that some more..
[17:28] <Jennifer000> where is openssl-dev on ubuntu
[17:28] <Jennifer000> :/
[17:29] <Dr_Willis> apt-cache search ssl | grep dev
[17:29] <Dr_Willis> perhaps
[17:29] <Jennifer000> nothing
[17:29] <Jennifer000> :/
[17:29] <IdleOne> Jennifer000: I believe you need libssl-dev
[17:29] <Jennifer000> well nothing like it
[17:29] <pozic> I.e., input e.g. USB key from another distribution, boot, download some installer for Ubuntu, like wubi, which then replaces the running system. Then after a reboot there is Ubuntu.
[17:29] <Dr_Willis> install everything that has ssl and dev  in the name
[17:30] <Jennifer000> !info libssl-dev
[17:30] <Dr_Willis> pozic:  theres debootstrap - but its not trivial to use...
[17:30] <Jennifer000> IdleOne:  oh :P tanks
[17:30] <IdleOne> welcome
[17:30] <jimmysparkle> CarlFK: It's working! Thanks so much!!
[17:30] <pozic> Dr_Willis: I am aware of debootstrap.
[17:30] <jimmysparkle> i'm all set :P
[17:30] <CarlFK> jimmysparkle: wow, that was fast.  well done.
[17:31] <pozic> Dr_Willis: but AFAIK, it is more intended to create chroots, not complete systems.
[17:31] <jimmysparkle> nw just need to upload my 9gb VDI file to the titnerwebs (as filesystems apparently incompatible) and I'm all set !
[17:31] <roger21> hi, i have a weird slowliness when i ssh-connect to my ubuntu from another machine, what could it be ?
[17:31] <Jennifer000> how to exit 'su -'
[17:31] <Dr_Willis> pozic:  it can do installs.. but you may as well do a normal install
[17:31] <Jennifer000> to get back to user
[17:31] <Jennifer000> is it 'exit'
[17:31] <Jennifer000> ?
[17:31] <FloodBot1> Jennifer000: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:31] <Dr_Willis> Jennifer000:  'exit' and use sudo. not su -, in most cases
[17:32] <IdleOne> Jennifer000: yes
[17:32] <Jennifer000> i choose su -
[17:32] <Jennifer000> :/
[17:32] <pozic> Dr_Willis: if there would be something with a signature that I could just download and do ./InstallUbuntu, I would use that, but I guess there is no such thing.
[17:32] <Jennifer000> what my VPS host tell me
[17:32] <qin> Jennifer000: http://goo.gl/Qk1Gg
[17:32] <Jennifer000> to use
[17:32] <Jennifer000> :/
[17:32] <FloodBot1> Jennifer000: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:32] <KM0201> vps host doesn't know how to use ubuntu
[17:32] <Dr_Willis> Jennifer000:  then your host is breaking ubuntu 'guidelines'
[17:32] <Jennifer000> i dont want to have to sudo
[17:32] <Jennifer000> PITA
[17:32] <Jennifer000> lol
[17:32] <jpds> Jennifer000: sudo -i
[17:33] <vibhav> !sudo | Jennifer000
[17:33] <KM0201> Jennifer000: then use su properly under ubuntu.
[17:33] <vibhav> !pm
[17:34] <Dr_Willis> Its a little scary that someone says sudo is a pita.. but dosent know to use the 'exit' command to exit su - .....
[17:34] <KM0201> Dr_Willis: isn't that the truth.
[17:34] <dp> whenever xscreensaver goes off, my keyboard becomes unavailable for a few seconds... but the USB mouse plugged in to said USB keyboard continues to work fine. any ideas?
[17:34] <pierangelo> ciao ragazzi sono nuovo
[17:34] <jpds> !it | pierangelo
[17:34] <KM0201> Dr_Willis: someone either doesn't know what a "pain" is, or really needs to slow down and learn what they are doing and why
[17:34] <pozic> Dr_Willis: sudo configuration is a pita, though.
[17:34] <MonkeyDust> Dr_Willis: the tricks explained on webupd8, to reset ubuntu classic, worked, ok
[17:35] <KM0201> pozic: not really.
[17:35] <Dr_Willis> MonkeyDust:  you found it eh. :)
[17:35] <ubuntu_> windows is best
[17:35] <IdleOne> !windows > ubuntu_
[17:35] <pozic> KM0201: compared to what it does, its user-interface is terrible.

[17:37] <Dr_Willis> I run several differnt disrtos pozic
[17:37] <jimmysparkle> CarlFK: thanks again for the help!
[17:37] <buttons> Is there  a command to list running deamons
[17:37] <Dr_Willis> buttons:  the service command.
[17:37] <Krishnandu> Hey guys, I want to cut a portion of a music, .mp3 file. What should I use??
[17:37] <pozic> Dr_Willis: is one of them 11.04?
[17:37] <CarlFK> jimmysparkle: you're welcome - was a pleasure working with you :)
[17:37] <Dr_Willis> pozic:  if you have a 11.04 question.. then just ask it.
[17:37] <buttons> Dr_Willis: what?
[17:37] <MonkeyDust> Krishnandu: audacity
[17:37] <Dr_Willis> buttons:  the 'service' command.. check it out

[17:38] <pozic> (on el-cheapo Intel graphics hardware)
[17:38] <Dr_Willis> pozic:  it works here. Ive heard of no 64bit issues.
[17:38] <pozic> IdleOne: fails to boot/things like that.
[17:38] <IdleOne> pozic: I been running 64 bit for almost 2 years without issue
[17:38] <bencc> I'm trying to install erlang with checkinstall and getting an error: "/usr/bin/install: cannot change permissions of `/usr/local/lib/erlang': No such file or directory"
[17:38] <Dr_Willis> pozic:  check the froums and askubuntu web site perhaps.
[17:38] <pozic> IdleOne: I have been running it since 5 years or so.
[17:38] <bencc> it works when installing with sudo make install
[17:39] <nit-wit> pozic, a fail to boot is a simple fix if everything is in good order.
[17:39] <IdleOne> pozic: Would be easier to answer if you gave us a little more detail as to what exactly you are experiencing
[17:39] <kaushal> Is there a way to start Pidgin after bootup of Ubuntu Desktop 11.04 ?
