[00:00] <kenneth__> Guest80095, are you aware of how to set Chrome OS to dev mode without the stock bios?
[00:00] <usr13> linuxrealm: I thought you were talking about iwconfig.  But no, he installed pastebinit and at that point it became a valid command.
[00:00] <maxster> hello, question question. Anyone else has issues with the emulate middle click?
[00:00] <escott> muay-guy, there are various voip clients but skype uses a closed wire protocol and there are no other skype clients
[00:00] <jstoone> linuxrealm: oh, then I'm not paying attention again.. damnit.
[00:00] <kenneth__> Guest80095, without the stock bios, ChromeOS has no way of telling if the dev switch is flipped or not.
[00:00] <usr13> nmaxchat: What asked for an IP address.
[00:00] <kenneth__> Guest80095, so, it defaults to normal ChromeOS.
[00:00] <Guest80095> ,,,
[00:00] <linuxrealm> meh
[00:00] <Guest80095> yes it's better.
[00:00] <nmaxchat> usr13, My computer is making a funny beep
[00:01] <ParkerR> Atleast a yes or no would be nice, and if yes how to do it
[00:01] <ParkerR> *At least
[00:01] <jstoone> maxster: nopes... what mouse do you have?
[00:01] <kenneth__> Guest80095, do you have experience with ChromeOS?
[00:01] <nmaxchat> usr13, It was a error message
[00:01] <Sir_Gabriel> Please ask your system administrator to enable user sharing.
[00:01] <jstoone> ParkerR: what's your question?
[00:01] <kenneth__> Guest80095, or rather, a CR-48 laptop?
[00:01] <JoeCoolDesk> Ubuntu: Least helpful community
[00:01] <jstoone> Sir_Gabriel: hmm..
[00:01] <ParkerR> jstoone, Is there a way to have downloads in Firefox have the executable bit marked on download? I liked how it did it before but if I read correctly there was a change in Nautilis that made internet downloads non executable until you changed the bit.
[00:01] <jstoone> one sec
[00:01] <usr13> nmaxchat: What does the error message say?
[00:01] <muay-guy> escott, ok, that's a bad thing then. I'm trying to help my wife fix this. Her bosses use skype since she works in a decentralized company and skype always crashes opn her, and for what Ive seen googling,... it's a common problem on 64 bit ubuntu systems
[00:01] <kenneth__> JoeCoolDesk, I'd try the forums.
[00:02] <nmaxchat> usr13, it has nothing to do with us
[00:02] <usr13> nmaxchat: Ok.  Well, you are connected now.  So what else can we do for you?
[00:02] <maxster> jstoone: laptop... i use allot the function of hitting both buttons to middle click, it stopped working in 11.04
[00:03] <linuxrealm> jstoone: for hours on end i would do pings and trbsht network connectivity, and i have a very simple howto, ping <IP_ADDRESS> and ping yahoo.com. that will tell you all, the rest of it all well, that comes later. the first thing to do is ping those 2 and 90% of the time, users will see its an NS issue usually, resolv.conf is janked or not getting the config with a gui tool like Network-Manager, prolly a radio button was not pressed
[00:03] <Guest80095> with Chrome Osnot too much Kenneth__
[00:03] <escott> muay-guy, you could try installing ubuntu 32bit, or running skype inside a windows vm, but its a closed source program and the skype company doesn't keep it up to date with all the linux libraries
[00:03] <ParkerR> Be right back, jstoone, have to go pick up dinner
[00:03] <enrique_> #ubuntu-charlas
[00:03] <muay-guy> escott, yeah, I know. And shes not quite fancy on windows
[00:04] <linuxrealm> static configs are most likely the culprit. wrong gateway, typo, dns entered wrong, buttons not checked, yadda...
[00:04] <kenneth__> Guest80095, yeah, it's pretty odd on a normal setup. I think it's possible my wireless card could have been overheating...maybe the problem has just gone away now.
[00:04] <jstoone> ParkerR: You could make a script and then add it to the cron tab? or an alias that executes the command for you
[00:04] <jstoone> ParkerR: kk
[00:04] <Minnen> lets start by saying that i tought i have installed GRUB2 and turns out im not.... im still using legacy
[00:04] <Minnen> progress
[00:04] <kenneth__> Guest80095, thanks anyway Guest80095. You wouldn't happen to be aware of any logs I can refer to would you?
[00:04] <muay-guy> escott, "quite fond"..not an english speaker
[00:04] <kenneth__> Guest80095, like, where would input/output errors appear?
[00:04] <jstoone> linuxrealm: go on..
[00:04] <sickvic> Is there a specific room fro printing/network issues?
[00:04] <Guest80095> mmm
[00:04] <Guest80095> try to do this
[00:05] <Guest80095> open a terminal and write
[00:05] <jstoone> sickvic: you're here ;)
[00:05] <Guest80095> iwconfig
[00:05] <sickvic> jstoone: Perfect! :)
[00:05] <usr13> sickvic: I don't think so, but there prolly should be  :)
[00:05] <victorhugo289> Guys, if you're directly connected to the Internet, how can yu have 2 ip addresses, one WAn and LAN?
[00:05] <usr13> sickvic: What is your problem?
[00:05] <jstoone> sickvic: as long as it is ubuntu related then you're welcome to ask (:
[00:06] <sickvic> Running natty. ufw's disabled, yet I still can't get to linuxserv:631 in order to add my printer to my Mac.
[00:06] <Sir_Gabriel> I wish I had a better error code or something. if it was windows I'd take ownership and it would be good probably...
[00:06] <victorhugo289> One of my computers has a Private IP address "10.89...etc"
[00:06] <usr13> sickvic: localhost:631
[00:06] <victorhugo289> but it's only connected to a switch to a cable modem.
[00:06] <victorhugo289> And it had previously shown a public ip address.
[00:06] <sickvic> usr13: I can do it locally, but not over the network, and I've modified cupsd.conf to allow @LOCAL to browse.
[00:06] <victorhugo289> Did the ISP modify it?
[00:07] <stlrocker> jstoone, 11.04 using classic  custom admin has weather in clock  defined second user...  that account only has clock and nothing else
[00:07] <victorhugo289> I did IP lookup and it shows that I have 2 ip addreses
[00:07] <victorhugo289> One WAn one LAn
[00:07] <mrta1> Hi. I'm having problems with the restricted nvidia driver from the repo. It is auto setting my refresh rate/ resolution to be auto and this is causing the monitors application to show it as 50hz. If I set it (with sudo) within nvidia-settings as 60hz it resets after a reboot and the monitors application shows it as 142hz. Does anyone have any ideas how I would solve this problem?
[00:07] <Sir_Gabriel> well, I don't ahve more time for this now. thanks anyways guys =0)
[00:07] <victorhugo289> that's weird, the LAn ip address has space for 502 hosts
[00:07] <kzman> hi waht's the difference between kubuntu full, desktop and mobile?
[00:07] <Relevant> guys whats going on
[00:07] <jstoone> Sir_Gabriel: you're welcome
[00:07] <Relevant> My pc has always been slow
[00:08] <usr13> sickvic: o
[00:08] <moneal> Question: Is it possible to set the status in empathy via a command?
[00:08] <escott> muay-guy, the problem is you dont know if the hangs are from audio, video or networking
[00:08] <victorhugo289> I cannot ping this computer
[00:08] <Relevant> I recently, Cleaned up my Harddrive, Virus scanned, Spyware Scanned, DEFAGED deleted my old account and make a new user profile, Removed loads of programs, and now its literly like 5x faster
[00:08] <RudeTux> hi everibody, anyone can help me with some problems regarding Myhtbuntu?
[00:09] <escott> muay-guy, you can do some LD_PRELOAD stuff to force skype to use things like v4l2 which might help
[00:09] <RudeTux> hi everibody, anyone can help me with some problems regarding Mythbuntu?
[00:09] <jstoone> one sec
[00:09] <Relevant> i just dont understand why i dident know this can speed up a pc so much before xD
[00:09] <jstoone> argh sorry guys didn't mean to hit enter ;)
[00:09] <nmaxchat> usr13, usr13, Am I connected ?
 usr13, my browser tell me I am not connected
 usr13, My cable does not reach fasr enough. Its either I am plugged into the wall or either I catch wifi
[00:09] <usr13> sickvic: Did you restart cups?
[00:09] <linuxrealm> lolol
[00:09] <usr13> sickvic: Did you restart cupsd?
[00:10] <_numbers> when my linux server fails to boot for some lame reason that can be fixed via vim, how can i boot to a CLI? i know livecds work but cant i also press some key during boot?
[00:10] <sickvic> usr13: Yep
[00:10] <linuxrealm> this is just getting and better by the second
[00:10] <nmaxchat> usr13, are there manual settings I can use ?
[00:10] <usr13> nmaxchat: host av.com
[00:10] <linuxrealm> usr13: walk him thru wireless settings next :)
[00:10] <jahsun> hey guys having problems getting unity working. installed new vid card w/512mb and 3d w/ shading, activated the drivers but no unity...any ideas?
[00:10] <muay-guy> escott, I'm sorry, I'm not sure what you meant by LD_PRELOAD
[00:10] <victorhugo289> Well, on other issues, I downloaded Clonezilla
[00:10] <muay-guy> I'm definitely not that cool
[00:10] <usr13> nmaxchat: what does  host av.com  say?
[00:10] <linuxrealm> gets out his little bag of crumbs
[00:10] <RudeTux> anyone plz?
[00:10] <usr13> linuxrealm: He does not have wireless.
[00:11] <linuxrealm> mm mmm yummy crumbs
[00:11] <victorhugo289> hi
[00:11] <escott> muay-guy, it forces skype to use the libraries by remapping the function calls
[00:11] <linuxrealm> usr13: you didnt get it when i asked him to ping and what response,,, and still he has not answered... lol
[00:11] <escott> muay-guy, export LIBV4LCONTROL_FLAGS=3
[00:11] <escott> LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype
[00:12] <nmaxchat> usr13, http://pastebin.com/JAQ28axY
[00:12] <muay-guy> where do you config that?
[00:12] <victorhugo289> I killed this guy.
[00:12] <Tiktalik> My left mouse button suddenly stopped working.
[00:12] <nmaxchat> linuxrealm, I know I am slow.
[00:12] <jstoone> Tiktalik: tried replugging?
[00:13] <Tiktalik> I tried using a different mouse, but that didn't work either
[00:13] <linuxrealm> nah
[00:13] <linuxrealm> your not slow
[00:13] <linuxrealm> i said enjoy, and i meant it
[00:13] <Tiktalik> jstoone: I'm not *that* stupid.
[00:13] <victorhugo289> Maybe your finger stopped working?
[00:13] <victorhugo289> haha, just kidding
[00:13] <Tiktalik> victorhugo289: No, I'm typing this using my mouse clicking finger
[00:13] <usr13> nmaxchat: Ok it is resolving domain names.  Not sure what the problem is, but if you sent that info from the PC you are working on, it is (as you see),  resolving the nomain name av.com
[00:14] <Tiktalik> So that's not the problem.
[00:14] <nmaxchat> usr13, I am not physically plugged in now
[00:14] <nmaxchat> usr13, Should I go back and plugin ?
[00:14]  * RudeTux asks if someone can help with mythbuntu, and if not - where should help be requested?
[00:14] <EGuinn> Tiktalik: Did you restart or reinstall just before it stopped?
[00:14] <comthre3>  anyone with some experience with uShare on ubuntu? for some reason, i can see all the folders on my ps3, but the media files arent being shared. all the folders are empty, the dlna mode is on the ps3 and my other player see the folders and all, but no files. any help would be appreciated
[00:14] <aixo> is there a firewall friendly (no configuration required) solution for a remote desktop support application in gnu/linux that is fully free (as in freedom)? i can setup server software on a vps for such firewall friendly functionality if required.
[00:14] <usr13> nmaxchat: Well, yes if you want a connection, plug it in.
[00:14] <jstoone> Tiktalik: Haha, no offence mate, I made the mistake yesterday, that my scroll-wheel was going WAAY to fast, and I was googleing ang goolging and then one said that replugging helped and I thought like... NOOOO!
[00:14] <tripelb> tensa_zangetsu, did it all. tested video. video does not show in skype. lists my cam as USB Camera (046d:08dd) (/dev/video0)
[00:15] <Tiktalik> jstoone: not like I could replug anyway, it's a touchpad
[00:15] <EGuinn> Tiktalik: Vaio?
[00:15] <mrta1> Hi. I'm having problems with the restricted nvidia driver from the repo. It is auto setting my refresh rate/ resolution to be auto and this is causing the monitors application to show it as 50hz. If I set it (with sudo) within nvidia-settings as 60hz it resets after a reboot and the monitors application shows it as 142hz. Does anyone have any ideas how I would solve this problem?
[00:15] <jstoone> Tiktalik: ye, you got something there..
[00:15] <ugur> hi all
[00:16] <linuxrealm> here trolly trolly, good little trolly crumbs for you, yum yum,,
[00:16] <Tiktalik> EGuinn: It worked fine on 10.10 before. I have no clue why it stopped working.
[00:16] <EGuinn> mrta1: I have had experience with those drivers. They are awful. Ignore most things they say.
[00:16] <EGuinn> Tiktalik: Are you using a Vaio though?
[00:16] <Tiktalik> EGuinn: No.
[00:16] <EGuinn> Tiktalik: Okay. That is not the problem then.
[00:16] <nmaxchat> usr13, still no browser
[00:16] <tripelb> Logitech Quickcam for Notebooks, older, Ub.10.04 -- Video does not show in skype which lists my cam as USB Camera (046d:08dd) (/dev/video0)  -- works in Cheese.
[00:16] <jstoone> linuxrealm: are you trying to troll or have you spotted one? (:
[00:16] <nmaxchat> usr13, Is there a manual set up that would get me running on cable 4 now
[00:17] <ugur> Do you have someone from Turkey
[00:17] <linuxrealm> what kinda of question is that?
[00:17] <linuxrealm> sounds loaded
[00:18] <sickvic> OK - I found my old cupsd.conf from lucid and I can manage the printers remotely now.
[00:18] <sickvic> Must've missed something in cupds.conf...
[00:18] <mrta1> EGuinn: the thing is it occasionally causes the screen to flicker
[00:18] <nmaxchat> usr13, When I am on the chat, I am not connected via cable
[00:18] <jstoone> linuxrealm: haha, just spotted your "here trolly trolly[...]" comment, and I thought hmm.. not good.
[00:18] <excelsio1> sup
[00:18] <stlrocker> linuxrealm, can you tell me why the clock/weather behaves differently between custom/admin user accnt and "user" accnt?
[00:18] <Tiktalik> EGuinn: I think I might have a synaptics touchpad
[00:19] <stlrocker> linuxrealm, both are using gnome classic
[00:19] <EGuinn> mrta1: Yeah -- Have you entered the XConfig recently and poked around?
[00:19] <jstoone> sickvic: glad to hear that you got it figured! now it's time to compare the two .conf's
[00:19] <linuxrealm> stlrocker: no
[00:19] <stlrocker> thanks linuxrealm
[00:19] <excelsio1> Pasting into the text body field in Yahoo mail, gmail, Ubuntu Forums forms, or Zotero notes in firefox doesn't work whether I use ctrl-v or right click, paste. It does work when I paste in a subject field, or a search box. Why am I having these problems with my clipboard?
[00:20] <EGuinn> Tiktalik: All I know is that the sony Vaio does not work with 11.04. I could take a stab at the problem though, with google.
[00:20] <linuxrealm> stlrocker: are you connected to the net as Root?
[00:20] <mrta1> EGuinn: I am running 11.04 and believed that Xconig was depreciated
[00:20] <Minnen> escott, GRUB problem solved
[00:20] <Minnen> :)
[00:20] <Minnen> thanks for the info
[00:20] <EGuinn> mrta1: Duh... Of course it has. That was a really dumb question.
[00:20] <linuxrealm> stlrocker: whats the heck is a custom/admin user?
[00:21] <Minnen> Overwriting the Master Boot Record was the solution
[00:21] <Minnen> from a 11.04 LiveCD
[00:21] <linuxrealm> stlrocker: are you saying you have two users, one is custom and the other is a very low privilege user?
[00:21] <jstoone> linuxrealm: been thinking the same.
[00:21] <usr13> mrta1: EGuinn   What is    Xconig ?
[00:21] <EGuinn> Tiktalik: I found this --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1743768 -- Don't know if it will help though.
[00:21] <linuxrealm> i sorta see what he is saying, but i will clarify first
[00:21] <EGuinn> usr13: It is the settings interface for the Xserver UI
[00:21] <tbruff13> hey my school just opened up a guest network for students to use, but i was told that linux was not allowed because it is considered to be a hacking OS and therefore is banned. Is Ubuntu all legal
[00:21] <Klevi> Hey all, trying to use wubi to make a 32 bit ubuntu installer from a 64bit machine. (Windows 7) I've downloaded the i386 USB installer from the main page, but when using wubi to install to my pendrive it downloads the amd64 ISO. How do I get around that? usb-creator wont use the iso I just downloaded for some reason to make a startup disk, either.
[00:21] <stlrocker> linuxrealm, when your first user is created... it is "admin" and is under "custom"   when I created the second accnt on the machine.. I put in group "users" only
[00:21] <EGuinn> usr13: It is also called XConfig, but oh well.
[00:22] <Tiktalik> EGuinn: thanks
[00:22] <jstoone> excelsio1: have you tried to do alt+v  sometimes works for me, dunno why but sometimes it changes between applications
[00:22] <linuxrealm> stlrocker: i undertstand... continue...
[00:22] <usr13> EGuinn: Oh.  Like xorgsetup ?
[00:22] <jrib> tbruff13: discuss it with your school
[00:22] <EGuinn> Tiktalik: No problem. I am on this IRC channel for a reason.
[00:22] <linuxrealm> stlrocker: how did you put it in? gui or manually
[00:22] <EGuinn> usr13: I am pretty sure, yes.
[00:22] <stlrocker> linuxrealm, gui
[00:22] <linuxrealm> stlrocker: did you use adduser
[00:22] <usr13> EGuinn: Yea, XConfig  ok, I think I remember.
[00:23] <stlrocker> linuxrealm, yes
[00:23] <linuxrealm> ok, so your in system > admin > users/groups
[00:23] <usr13> EGuinn: Just creates an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.
[00:23] <tbruff13> jrib, I was told that if can prove that ubuntu is entirely legal i can use my laptop
[00:23] <EGuinn> usr13: Yes.
[00:23] <linuxrealm> stlrocker: and you simply put your "other" user in group what?
[00:23] <linuxrealm> users?
[00:23] <jrib> tbruff13: the only way to prove something is legal is to go to court
[00:23] <nmaxchat> usr13, when I go into network manager, under IPV4 and 6 there is nothing
[00:23] <stlrocker> right now... I am in the second user  and he was just put in group "users"   no admin privileges
[00:23] <mrta1> EGuinn: no problem. do you have any other ideas? Searching on google brought up no relevant results for this.
[00:24] <jstoone> tbruff13: just show them ubuntu.com + the license aggreement (:
[00:24] <jrib> tbruff13: but you might try explaining that linux powers most of the internet, used by companies like google and wikipedia, and is also what android phones run
[00:24] <linuxrealm> stlrocker: stop right there!! do not addusers or groups on the fly like that... the way ubuntu/gnome has put things together, its all intertwined, and you really should readup a little bit on perms in a gui b4 treading there...
[00:24] <tbruff13> jrib, I am asking is there anything ubuntu uses that would be a red flag for a school something I should point out
[00:24] <linuxrealm> i dont even use that gui tool, it scares me
[00:24] <EGuinn> mrta1: Let me take another stab with the google machine. I am generally good with it.
[00:24] <Klevi> tbruff13, proabably not.
[00:24] <Klevi> *-a
[00:25] <jrib> tbruff13: I don't understand that question.  If there's some sort of disallowed activity you could do it on any OS
[00:25] <linuxrealm> stlrocker: so your question was, the diff between how the clock/weather is configured? correct
[00:25] <jstoone> tbruff13: nope
[00:25] <usr13> tbruff13: Depends on what you have installed on it.  Some applications my be offensive to the network admin(s) (and maybe just because they don't like it).
[00:25] <excelsio1> jstoone: I'm sorry, alt-v gives me the view menu.
[00:25] <mrta1> EGuinn: thanks. I spent quite a while and especially couldn't figure out why monitor was showing the refresh rate as 142hz when it was set to 60hz in nvidia-settings
[00:26] <EGuinn> mrta1: This should help. Do a search for nVidia restricted drivers --> http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Natty
[00:26] <stlrocker> linuxrealm, yes.. it there is weather display and pref choices in admin account but not the "user" account
[00:26] <jstoone> excelsio1: yea, that happens too (: - I'm no use right now, I think (:
[00:26] <linuxrealm> they are diff users, they log into their own desktops, they both have diff configs and perms about the system. how much of a diff is there?
[00:26] <tbruff13> Klevi, I was asked how ubuntu connects to the internet if it will go around firewalls they dont want that to happen will ubuntu with no additional configuration hack internet connections
[00:26]  * RudeTux thanks for all the help nobody provided...yeah...thaths the spirit folks
[00:26] <Minnen> Guys a quick poll so i can make up my head of what i want to use - Wich dev soft u think is better Anjuta or Gambas
[00:26] <jrib> tbruff13: these seem like lazy/ignorant claims
[00:26] <fosc0_> !ot | tbruff13
[00:26] <excelsio1> I'm wondering why I can't find any example of this problem affecting anyone else in either the forums or google's search results.
[00:26] <linuxrealm> stlrocker: thats cuz the programmers figured they dont want an unpriv user mucking with the clock settings, makes sense
[00:26] <Klevi> tbruff13, default configuration in Ubuntu is basic DHCP.
[00:26] <fosc0_> !poll | Minnen
[00:27] <nmaxchat> usr13, Which settings should I have under editing Auto eth0?
[00:27] <jstoone> linuxrealm: he just want his weather widget.. yea..
[00:27] <fosc0_> !linuxre
[00:27] <sickvic> OK. I can manage the printer remotely, but I still can't print from my Mac to my Linux print queue...
[00:27] <tbruff13> Klevi, ok i will tell them that thank you
[00:27] <usr13> tbruff13: There are plenty of applications on any given Linux system that could be used in malicious way, but you can say that about a MS Windows system as well.
[00:27] <linuxrealm> stlrocker: the diff, they are perm'd differently. add weather with the "admin" user, and the "other should be there after logging in
[00:27] <stlrocker> jstoone, that is correct in the "clock 2.32.1"   seems there is a indicator-weather I can push up
[00:27] <Klevi> Unless your school uses a software proxy on their windows boxes to websense content, there isnt much you couldnt do just as well on windows to get around their stuff tbruff13
[00:27] <kingofswords> hi
[00:28] <Klevi> oh he left.
[00:28] <kingofswords> windows has disapeared from my boot menu after resizing it with gparted
[00:28] <EGuinn> kingofswords: Yep, that will happen.  You just lost your entire windows side.
[00:28] <kingofswords> ive tried to repair using recovery but am unable to get it to repair...anyone have any ideas
[00:28] <xangua> kingofswords: when you are modifying partitons, make sure to make a copy of data ;)
[00:29] <jstoone> kingofswords: oh oh...
[00:29] <kingofswords> EGuinn, why will this happen?
[00:29] <EGuinn> kingofswords: That is unrecoverable, I believe. NTFS is no good for resizing.
[00:29] <kingofswords> oh
[00:29] <Mitsukaru> lol Klevi. when you plug ubuntu into the internet, it immediately starts haxoring your connections.
[00:29] <Diamondcite> kingofswords: Assuming you haven't written anything to the windows side.. a liveCD with testdisk should be able to re-write the older partition table
[00:29] <kingofswords> well all the files and install are still there...it just boot menu gone
[00:29] <Mitsukaru> ubuntu is in your tubes, haxing your firewalls
[00:29] <Klevi> Mitsukaru, lol clearly.
[00:29] <EGuinn> kingofswords: Oh!
[00:29] <EGuinn> kingofswords: That is recoverable then.
[00:30] <jstoone> kingofswords: I'm so sorry about your loss, pff.. worst thing..
[00:30] <usr13> EGuinn: It usually works ok, ...only once in a while does it blow up.
[00:30] <kingofswords> is teskdisk a program installed on live cd?
[00:30] <sickvic> Actually, it works via samba now. Can't get ipp working, but that I can print at all is the key.
[00:30] <jstoone> kingofswords: wow.. that was lucky..
[00:30] <EGuinn> kingofswords: You should be able to recover that with a MBR editor.
[00:30] <sickvic> usr13: Thanks for the hand-holding.  :)
[00:30] <kingofswords> yeh im having trouble revovering the mbr via windows disk
[00:30] <nmaxchat> usr13, Which settings should I have under editing Auto eth0?
[00:30] <EGuinn> kingofswords: Windows sucks. That is why.
[00:30] <tbruff13> ok one more question I upgraded to ubuntu 11.04 and then found a neat way to downgrade if i wanted to post this method on the wiki how would i go about doing that
[00:31] <kingofswords> i have a ssd drive so have to use a modified ver of xp ..ie  usb version
[00:31] <EGuinn> kingofswords: Just find a nice MBR editor for Ubuntu, and win!
[00:31] <mrta1> EGuinn: unfortunately that didn't provide any new information and still referenced xorg.
[00:31] <xangua> !downgrade | tbruff13
[00:31] <kingofswords> ahhh EGuinn  didnt know there is such a thing
[00:31] <EGuinn> mrta1: Sorry man. All I could find as well. You seem to have a relatively unique problem.
[00:31] <ParkerR> jstoone, Cron tab?
[00:31] <nmaxchat> linuxrealm,I lost usr13. What settings should I have uder IPV4 and 6 ?
[00:31] <kingofswords> so i can restore it in my ubuntu?
[00:31] <EGuinn> kingofswords: I don't know any. But you should be able to, yes.
[00:32] <tbruff13> xangua, I know but I figured out a way to downgrade and still keep all of the user configurations that works every time i tested it
[00:32] <EGuinn> kingofswords: Probably... for your sake I hope so.
[00:32] <kingofswords> ok thanks for help EGuinn
[00:32] <EGuinn> kingofswords: NO problem.
[00:32] <kingofswords> i know i need to fixboot, fixmbr via cmd prompt....but i cant get into it via xp disk
[00:32] <OerHeks> testdisk is part of the gparted iso
[00:33] <usr13> tbruff13: You might discuss it on a ubuntu forum
[00:33] <nmaxchat> can anyone tell me what my settings should be for a cable ethernet connection under IPV4 and 6 and 801.x security be ?
[00:33] <usr13> !forum
[00:33] <tbruff13> okay
[00:33] <jstoone> ParkerR: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/intrepid/man5/bcrontab.5.html - if I've understood it right, you can add a script to cron tab, and and tell it to e.g execute this script every 5 minutes or every day at 5'o clock
[00:34] <zvacet> kingofswords: I just started here so can you boot windows
[00:34] <kingofswords> no
[00:34] <Quyen> hey, does anyone have installed ubuntu via usb on a macbook?
[00:34] <kingofswords> zvacet, no
[00:34] <EGuinn> kingofswords: Just use a livecd.
[00:34] <Quyen> terrible grammar
[00:34] <Quyen> well, my drive pooped out on me
[00:34] <kingofswords> for testdisk?
[00:35] <wideyes> anyone have a suggestion for a channel where I can get help with an internet gateway / proxy server setup?
[00:35] <jstoone> kingofswords: remember this: real men don't backup they CRY! (terrible joke, but sadly happens to often for people)
[00:35] <ParkerR> jstoone, That is a grand idea. I might be able to do it with Ubuntu scheduler
[00:35] <I-are-> can anyone help me determine why a fresh install of ubuntu 9.10 on an old compaq laptop is very slow. eth0 is only pulling about 30 B/s average, 176 B/s is the max I have gotten.  It seemed to work fine when running windows.
[00:35] <xangua> I-are-: 9.10 is no longer supported
[00:35] <linuxrealm> nmaxchat: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/internet/C/connecting-wired.html
[00:35] <usr13> wideyes: You can try your question here...
[00:35] <ParkerR> jstoone, Thanks
[00:35] <kingofswords> lol i have nothing to back up on.....also nothing that important to back up
[00:35] <mrta1> EGuinn: from your knowledge, does running a laptops lcd at 50hz instead of the regular 60hz  have the possiblity of causing a problem?
[00:35] <jrib> !9.10 | I-are-
[00:35] <jstoone> ParkerR: Haven't used it before but yea (:
[00:35] <stlrocker> linuxrealm and jstoone   thanks for your time  i'll keep playing with this
[00:35] <blargg> During shutdown, I'd like to give the hard disk more time to spin down before the system is powered off. Any ideas?
[00:35] <EGuinn> kingofswords: You should be able to get whatever MBR editor you need on it. Wait -- do you have a working install of Ubuntu?
[00:35] <kingofswords> yes
[00:35] <EGuinn> kingofswords: You should be able to use that then.
[00:36] <kingofswords> its 10.04 lts alternate thou
[00:36] <Quyen> oh also, if you get busybox, message what should I do?
[00:36] <I-are-> xangua, I know it is not supported, but why would the network crap out? I tried installing 11.4 but it froze.
[00:36] <ParkerR> jstoone, Can chmod do a recursive mark? Like chmod -x <foldername>
[00:36] <OerHeks> Quyen, maybe this wiki is any help > https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MactelSupportTeam/AppleIntelInstallation
[00:36] <jstoone> stlrocker: Well, you're welcome - credit goes to linuxrealm (:
[00:36] <EGuinn> kingofswords: That will still work.
[00:36] <kingofswords> alternate doesnt have livecd..but i have one of 9.1
[00:36] <jstoone> ParkerR: You know what, have you played around with aliases before?
[00:36] <ParkerR> I don't think so
[00:37] <zvacet> kingofswords: you can boot ubuntu but not windows and you use grub is that right
[00:37] <EGuinn> kingofswords: Is it on the ruined partition?
[00:37] <blargg> ParkerR, man chmod sure suggests that there is a recursive option.
[00:37] <wideyes> fair enough. I'm trying to get a clear diagram in my head of how to route a transparent proxy server running squid. I think I'm close, but I'm having difficulty with DNS. I'm hoping someone can clarify how DNS is handled in a transparent proxy setting, and more specifically using squid3
[00:37] <EGuinn> zvacet: Yup, that is what I thought.
[00:37] <ParkerR> blargg, Would that be the command?
[00:37] <nmaxchat> can anyone tell me the settings I need to ender in network manager for IPv4 and IP v6 ? I have scroll down menus ?
[00:37] <blargg> ParkerR, type man man at the commandline.
[00:37] <kingofswords> zvacet,  thats correct...ive just reinstalled grub after trying to get into windowsxp recovery
[00:37] <kingofswords> EGuinn,  no ruined partition..just ruined mbr i beleive
[00:37] <EGuinn> kingofswords: If you still have the files, fixing the MBR won't be a problem.
[00:38] <ParkerR> blargg, jstoone Thanks be right back. I'll switch into Ubuntu
[00:38] <zvacet> kingofswords: and after reinstalling grub you can not boot in windows strange
[00:38] <kingofswords> thats what i was hoping
[00:38] <jstoone> ParkerR: Good idea ;)
[00:38] <kingofswords> zvacet, yeh
[00:38] <EGuinn> kingofswords: Then you must be a happy man!
[00:38] <kingofswords> not yet
[00:38] <jrib> ParkerR: why would you want downloads to always be executable?  Don't you download files that aren't meant to be executed?
[00:38] <Kaorius> kingofswords: Does update-grub say anything about finding your windows?
[00:39] <kingofswords> zvacet, I INCREASED xp partition in gparted and deleted a fat partition that held setup files for windows as i installed from usbstick
[00:39] <Mitsukaru> oooh, good idea Kaorius. kingofswords, run the command "sudo update-grub" in the terminal.
[00:39] <ParkerR> jrib, I don't download amny things and when I do I know what I am using
[00:39] <ParkerR> *many
[00:39] <EGuinn> kingofswords: Well, that is probably where you killed the MBR.
[00:39] <kingofswords> Kaorius, it was update-grub that got rid of xp in boot menu....it was there b4 but just didnt work
[00:39] <jrib> ParkerR: what you are attempting to do does not make much sense to me
[00:40]  * eLiam ponders a game where the aim is to kill the mbr
[00:40] <kingofswords> EGuinn, problem is i cant get into the installing xp screen so therefore cant use the repair/recovery thing
[00:40] <jstoone> ParkerR: are you useing bash as shell?
[00:40] <ParkerR> jrib, Have downloaded files automatically marked as executable
[00:40] <ParkerR> bash
[00:40] <blargg> eLiam, I wonder whether a badly-redirected echo would do the trick...
[00:41] <ParkerR> Still have to restart :P
[00:41] <jrib> ParkerR: I understand *what* you want to do but cannot fathom *why*
[00:41] <Kaorius> eLiam: Reminds me of that ps-doom game where you ran around your system shooting your processes (killing them) like it was doom.
[00:41] <EGuinn> kingofswords: It won't even boot the windows disk?
[00:41] <OerHeks> kingofswords, if that partition you installed from, comes before your xp partition, and you increased the xp partition wit this space, .. i understand you nagged your xp
[00:41] <kingofswords> i was told my windows is on a logical partition and needs to be changed to primary
[00:41] <jstoone> ParkerR: pff.. go on then ;)
[00:41] <blargg> jrib, couldn't he just run Windows if wants everything marked as executable? <ducks>
[00:41] <ParkerR> jrib, I hate the popup saying the executable bit is not marked.   Wasn't there one where you could shoot files and they really got deleted too/
[00:42] <blargg> ParkerR, I was actually thinking of writing a little script to have in the context popup in nautilus, that marks the file as executable
[00:42] <kingofswords> EGuinn, no
[00:42] <jstoone> ParkerR: blargg: also it's important to stay a little lazy :P
[00:42] <Kaorius> eLiam: Don't remember, I just remember seeing that and laughing.
[00:42] <EGuinn> kingofswords: You should be able to fix it with an MBR editor.  Just look for one on google!
[00:43] <kingofswords> EGuinn, yeh i am
[00:44] <kingofswords> cant see any yet
[00:44] <EGuinn> kingofswords: That should fix your problem then. Just take a look at its man page, and you win.
[00:44] <I-are-> ok well I guess I will try 10.04. *getting tired of wasting dvd's
[00:44] <darkorical> so new level of dumb question ... I just installed phpmyadmin via apt and http://myserver/phpmyadmin didnt work to access it anyone know what IM doing wrong ?
[00:44] <sling-media-help> Does anyone know how to get sling media to work on ubuntu
[00:44] <KM0201> I-are-: why do you think 10.04 will work, vs 10.10 or 11.04?
[00:44] <jstoone> blargg: I think it would be better if he just made an alias in his .bashrc or .profile that says   "runnable=chmod a+x ~/Downloads/*"
[00:45] <zvacet> kingofswords: I found http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=622828 hope it will help
[00:45] <eLiam> darkorical, a2ensite phpmyadmin or some such?
[00:45] <nmaxchat> linuxrealm, That is my level of instructions. But How do I know " and enter your IP address and other details. Enter the address of your DNS server too."
[00:45] <nmaxchat> linuxrealm, What IP address etc do I enter?
[00:45] <nmaxchat> linuxrealm, linuxrealm, That is my level of instructions. But How do I know " and enter your IP address and other details. Enter the address of your DNS server too."
 linuxrealm, What IP address etc do I enter
[00:45] <FloodBot1> nmaxchat: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:45] <I-are-> KM0201, 11.04 freezes, for some reason and I don't know much about 10.10  figured that LTS might work better.
[00:45] <darkorical> I-are- save DVDs set up a bootable USB
[00:45] <KM0201> I-are-: LTS has nothing to do with "working better"...
[00:45] <kingofswords> zvacet,  thank you=)
[00:45] <I-are-> I don't think this old laptop can boot from usb.
[00:45] <KM0201> I-are-: can your machine not boot USB's?
[00:45] <zvacet> kingofswords: thank me if it work  ;)
[00:45] <ParkerR> Back
[00:46] <kingofswords> lol
[00:46] <jstoone> ParkerR: Cool
[00:46] <EGuinn> zvacet: lol
[00:46] <KM0201> I-are-: you might be amazed, my laptop is almost 7yrs old, and it boots USB
[00:46] <nmaxchat> linuxrealm, What do I enter under DNS servers and search doamins ?
[00:46] <ParkerR> So man man or mand chmod?
[00:46] <ParkerR> *man
[00:46] <linuxrealm> nmaxchat: <IP_ADDRESS>
[00:46] <jstoone> ParkerR: if you want the manpage of chmod then it's "man chmod"
[00:47] <EGuinn> Goodbye all, restarting...
[00:47] <excelsio1> I figured it out. One must hold down ctrl + super button +v in order to paste.
[00:47] <Kaorius> ParkerR: man man will tell you what the man command does, man chmod will tell you what chmod (and it's options) do.
[00:47] <ParkerR> Ahh
[00:47] <nmaxchat> linuxrealm, and unders search domains ?
[00:47] <excelsio1> jstoone: did you catch that?
[00:47]  * ParkerR reads on :)
[00:47] <blargg> Read man man to learn to fish, then you can figure out how to get info about chmod.
[00:47] <nowinter> anyone else having massive issues with 11.04 and broadcom 4321?
[00:47] <linuxrealm> nmaxchat: empty
[00:47] <[dlp]> My graphics drivers aren't working properly since Natty.
[00:48] <jstoone> ParkerR: do you want to hear my suggestion to your "exacutable bit" :D
[00:48] <ParkerR> Yay there is a recursive option
[00:48] <nmaxchat> linuxrealm, The apply box is greyed out
[00:48] <ParkerR> jstoone, Sure
[00:48] <[dlp]> GLX isn't getting hardware acceleration.
[00:48] <OerHeks> nowinter, no i just had to intall bcm43xx firmware installer and all is fine
[00:48] <jstoone> excelsio1: Yea, I use the man pages all the time :D but clean and bright explaination (: thanks
[00:48] <linuxrealm> nmaxchat: cool
[00:49] <nmaxchat> linuxrealm, It aslks for an ip address
[00:49] <excelsio1> jstoone: man pages?
[00:49] <[dlp]> Any ideas?
[00:49] <nowinter> OerHeks: I have been through both the b43 cutter installs and the STA (even the deb from 10.10) and though I see eth1..it never connects
[00:49] <excelsio1> jstoone: in the terminal? for what?
[00:49] <linuxrealm> nmaxchat: whats your ip address?
[00:49] <[dlp]> Is an i915.
[00:49] <jstoone> excelsio1: sorry misread (: and where the hell is the "superbutton?"
[00:50] <Jasonn> What is the httpd command for Ubuntu?
[00:50] <Jasonn> for apache2??
[00:50] <SpooK^> jstoone, john stone?
[00:50] <Jasonn> I need to run httpd -S
[00:50] <ParkerR> superbutton is the Windows key
[00:50] <excelsio1> jstoone: it's the one with the penguin on it, or maybe the ubuntu sticker... :)
[00:50] <[dlp]> lsmod shows the driver as loaded.
[00:50] <nmaxchat> linuxrealm, <IP_ADDRESS>
[00:50] <sling-media-help> anyone use sling media on ubuntu? If so can you please help me.
[00:50] <linuxrealm> nmaxchat: can i log into your network?
[00:50] <eLiam> [dlp] graphics seem ok for me...
[00:50] <[dlp]> Perhaps X has picked up the wrong driver?
[00:50] <nowinter> interesting stuff in syslog as well: <info> (eth1): device state change: 9 -> 3 (reason 0) <info> (eth1): deactivating device (reason: 0).
[00:50] <musix_new_user> hola gente
[00:50] <nmaxchat> linuxrealm, yes What do U need ?
[00:50] <musix_new_user> hay alguien
[00:51] <Jasonn> !es | musix_new_user
[00:51] <xangua> !anyone | sling-media-help
[00:51] <[dlp]> Nope, I'm only getting software GL by the looks of things.
[00:51] <linuxrealm> nmaxchat: enable browser management to your router port 8080
[00:51] <linuxrealm> nmaxchat: i need access
[00:51] <nmaxchat> linuxrealm, Where do I do that ?
[00:51] <[dlp]> No idea how the newer X servers are configured, either.
[00:51] <z3r0n0id> anyone update to 11.04?
[00:52] <ParkerR> z3r0n0id, I have
[00:52] <zeta-_> Hi everyone, I recently updated to 11.04 -- now X only gets as far as wallpaper, then repeatedly logs DDC gathered mode lines.
[00:52] <zeta-_> Any know why I don't get a desktop?
[00:52] <linuxrealm> nmaxchat: you log into your ip of your router, and open up port 8080 on the wan to your computer your on right now
[00:52] <eLiam> z3r0n0id, yes
[00:52] <z3r0n0id> ParkerR, do you like it?
[00:52] <ParkerR> Not too bad
[00:52] <jstoone> ParkerR: Alias Solution: We'll make an alias - aliases is a basicly a "covername" for an action- e.g we could call our alias "dl-runnable" and it would be equal the action "chmod a+x ~/Downloads/*"
[00:52] <[dlp]> Well, if anyone can help diagnose this one... would be appreciative.
[00:52] <[dlp]> Don't mind hacking a little to make it work.
[00:52] <ParkerR> jstoone, Oooh nice
[00:52] <ParkerR> Go on :)
[00:52] <nmaxchat> linuxrealm, I am connected directly to the wall socket when on ethernet and now, only by wifi
[00:52] <linuxrealm> nmaxchat: type your user name and password of a privledged user so anyone of us can log into your computer and help you
[00:53] <[dlp]> But I really don't get the newer X servers.
[00:53] <z3r0n0id> eLiam, do you like it? is it worth updating yet?
[00:53] <ParkerR> jstoone, What does a+x do. I was thinking chmod -x -r ~/Downloads/
[00:53] <linuxrealm> nmaxchat: just give us access so we can look at all your configs and you wont have to type any more questions regarding connecting to the internet and such
[00:53] <nmaxchat> linuxrealm, where do I type that ?
[00:53] <blargg> linuxrealm, why are you asking him to open his machine to exploitation?
[00:53] <linuxrealm> blargg: of course not
[00:53] <eLiam> z3r0n0id, having some issues at the moment.  Unity doesn't start without a kick up the butt...
[00:54] <linuxrealm> blargg: feel free to jump in anytime and help out ;)
[00:54] <eLiam> linuxrealm, I thinking that's a BAD idea!
[00:54] <z3r0n0id> eLiam, ic well ill wait then. i still like 10.10
[00:54] <linuxrealm> eLiam: feel free to jump in anytime and help this user out
[00:54] <ParkerR> I understand what aliases do. I have used Mac OSX a little :)
[00:54] <blargg> oh, it sounded like you were joking about him giving his username/password
[00:55] <linuxrealm> blargg: im dead serious
[00:55] <jstoone> ParkerR: So you'll only have to write "dl-runnable" - just to make it clear, you could also have called it "spawn-poop" but that would not make sense - I always remember it as ALL rights PLUS the EXECUTABLE bit just to be sure (: I think it is in the chmods man pages (:
[00:55] <blargg> hunter2 everywhere for me
[00:55] <linuxrealm> blargg: would you rather watch him suffer anymore?
[00:55] <rpaddock> I can add a script to run on server start.. but how do I have it run as a specific user?
[00:55] <linuxrealm> he is suffering, cant you see
[00:55] <jstoone> ParkerR: You could also do -x -r ~/Downloads/*
[00:55] <blargg> linuxrealm, haven't been paying attention to him, sorry. ignore what I said
[00:55] <ParkerR> jstoone, So chmod a+x -r ~/Downloads/ would work?
[00:56] <linuxrealm> blargg: he is a nice guy/gal who just needs help
[00:56] <jrib> ParkerR: if you really want to do this in a non-insane way, use ACLs.... But I really don't see how assuming everything downloaded from the internet is executable is a "good" idea
[00:56] <jstoone> ParkerR: oh, and i found out that you can use a wildcard (*) then it will chmod all the files e.g in ~/Downloads/
[00:56] <I-are-> ok I think the machine will boot from usb.  Now how do I create a bootable usb for Ubuntu when I am running Debian?
[00:56] <linuxrealm> so nmaxchat are you going to allow us access ? so we can help you get that other box connected
[00:56] <jstoone> ParkerR: "chmod a+x ~/Downloads/*" should be enough (:
[00:57] <nmaxchat> linuxrealm, How ?
[00:57] <ParkerR> jrib, I can see where people downloading a lot of stuff need to worry a little more but I downloads things I need and for a specific use
[00:57] <ParkerR> jstoone, Awesome :)
[00:57] <xangua> I-are-: with Unetbootin
[00:57] <ParkerR> *download
[00:57] <jstoone> So let's add our alias, am i right?
[00:57] <zvacet> z3r0n0id: I think it depends on hardware work on my machine
[00:57] <ParkerR> Yep
[00:57] <nmaxchat> I come from windows.
[00:58] <linuxrealm> nmaxchat: please refer to your wireless router manual and follow the instructions to allow port 8080 to be open from the wan. it should be in your manual. then, forward all ssh requests to your computer your in question. also turn your firewall off so we can log in and see if you have ns issues or what not...
[00:58] <jstoone> ParkerR: OK, "cd" to your home dir
[00:58] <linuxrealm> nmaxchat: im sorry to hear that, but we all did as well at some point
[00:58] <ParkerR> Ok
[00:59] <nmaxchat> linuxrealm, I am not on the router. I am direct in the plug. I give up for now. Its 2 AM. Thankls for your help.
[00:59] <jstoone> ParkerR: just reply "k" or similar
[00:59] <ParkerR> K
[00:59] <ParkerR> :)
[00:59] <linuxrealm> directly plugged in
[00:59] <jstoone> ParkerR: ahm you did it as i pressed Enter
[00:59] <linuxrealm> yah, better sleep on it
[00:59] <linuxrealm> troll
[00:59] <linuxrealm> sheshh
[00:59] <jstoone> ParkerR: open up  .bashrc with your favorite text editor (:
[01:00] <z3r0n0id> zvacet, i have a newer laptop but still getting familiar with linux
[01:00] <ParkerR> Wait ?home or /home/parker/ ?
[01:00] <ParkerR> */home/
[01:00] <kcorcoran> anyone know the command to enter the nvidia setup via terminal?
[01:01] <zvacet> z3r0n0id: I was talking about natty you asked about upgrade correct?
[01:01] <ParkerR> Nvm, jstoone continue
[01:01] <jstoone> just write "cd" in terminal then you get to "/home/parker/"
[01:01] <ayrton> is 59 fps bad in glxgears ????
[01:01] <KM0201> kcorcoran: gksudo nvidia-settings
[01:01] <jstoone> ParkerR: have you opened ".bashrc"?
[01:01] <ParkerR> Yes
[01:02] <z3r0n0id> zvacet, yea im using 10.10, didn't to run into a bunch of problem i would have truble fixing myself
[01:02] <ParkerR> jstoone, need I be root? Just checking
[01:02] <jstoone> ParkerR: Slice! Go to the bottom of the document and make a little comment tile "### My aliases ###"
[01:02] <surskitty> ParkerR: no, you don't need to be root
[01:02] <ayrton> hey can any1 tell me, should i get more then 59 fps in glxgears?
[01:02] <ParkerR> K
[01:03] <jstoone> surskitty: Thanks (:
[01:03] <zvacet> z3r0n0id: then stay with 10.10 if it works as it should
[01:03] <tim> Hey everyone. I've got a small problem I'd like someone to help me out with.
[01:03] <smk> hi i wanna know if i upgrade to the 11.04 version, i'm going to loose my configuration (compiz fusion) etc.. ..
[01:03] <z3r0n0id> zvacet, ok i will.
[01:03] <ParkerR> jstoone, It already has an aliases section
[01:03] <eLiam> ayrton, It's an arbitrary question but I get around 9000 and my graphic card makes odd noises! :-)
[01:03] <KM0201> tim: just ask, if someone can help, they will
[01:03] <ParkerR> # enable color support of ls and also add handy aliases
[01:04] <jstoone> ParkerR:  Ah, cool just add it in there if you like (:
[01:04] <ParkerR> And I see what to do :)
[01:04] <zvacet> smk: in ideal world upgrade has nothing with your settings
[01:04] <ayrton> i have a gma 4500m
[01:04] <ayrton> shouldnt i get like 2000?
[01:04] <Shwaiil> Q: I'm running notepad++ trough wine. Crashed, and I want to killall, how to do it ?
[01:05] <smk> zvacet, ok so i can upgrade with no risk about loosing any thing
[01:05] <eLiam> ayrton: What does "glxinfo | grep 'direct rendering'" tell you?
[01:05] <zvacet> smk: make back up just in case
[01:05] <jstoone> ParkerR: "alias dl-runnable="chmod a+x ~/Downloads/*" and voila, close this terminal and open a new one and try typeing dl-runnable
[01:05] <ParkerR> Woo   alias dl-runnable='chmod a+x ~/Downlaods/*'
[01:05] <Shwaiil> forget it
[01:05] <ParkerR> Already done :)
[01:06] <jstoone> ParkerR: BooYah!
[01:06] <toty> oi
[01:06] <tim> When I attempt to use my headphones, my speakers play audio simultaneously. Anyone know what's going on?
[01:06] <ParkerR> Hmm, chmod: cannot access `/home/parker/Downlaods/*': No such file or directory
[01:06] <ParkerR> Ahh spelled it wrong XD
[01:06] <ayrton> eliam: flushing GPU caches before/after each draw call
[01:06] <ayrton> direct rendering: Yes
[01:06] <ParkerR> Hahahaha
[01:06] <jstoone> ParkerR: hahaha! Typeos are THE BEST! :D win
[01:07] <toty> como que eu abro um file  psd no buntu 10.04 ?
[01:07] <MaRk-I> !pt | toty
[01:08] <ParkerR> Sweet. Looks like it only does it on files that can be :)
[01:08] <ParkerR> Marked
[01:08] <jstoone> ParkerR: It should ;)
[01:08] <eLiam> ayrton: You got me then.  Should be working fine.  I'd wait till you have an issue (try a game or something)...
[01:08] <jstoone> and if you do "ls" in the dir then they should be green also (:
[01:08] <ParkerR> Success! http://paste.ubuntu.com/605490/
[01:09] <ParkerR> Oh not :(
[01:09] <jstoone> ah!
[01:09] <ayrton> i play nfs carbon in wine and i get low fraps, only playable on low settings, but on youtube etc others with this card play on better settings
[01:09] <ParkerR> I'll try downlaoding something new
[01:10] <jstoone> ParkerR: maybe you should make it "alias dl-runnable="sudo chmod a+x ~/Downloads/*"
[01:10] <ParkerR> Hmm there are many files in there that can be marked
[01:10] <ParkerR> jstoone, Ok I'll try
[01:10] <jstoone> ParkerR: or i think you can just do like "sudo dl-runnable" instead (:_
[01:10] <tim> When I attempt to use my headphones, my speakers play audio simultaneously. Anyone know what's going on?
[01:10] <ayrton> eliam if i turn sync to vblank off it does the same thing
[01:11] <kingofswords> hi back
[01:11] <kingofswords> no joy
[01:11] <kingofswords> got into the windows recovery and typed fixboot and fixmbr and even said it had fix it but still no xp in boot menu
[01:11] <ParkerR> Woo
[01:12] <jstoone> ParkerR: Does it work?
[01:12] <makaveli0129> ok i have accidently deleted my home directory but i have it backed up with duplicity how do i restore just my home directory the backup location is /media/truecrypt1
[01:12] <vadi2> How can I see which wireless driver version am I using?
[01:12] <ParkerR> jstoone, sudo dl-runnable didn't work because dl-runnable is not a sudo command :)
[01:12] <ParkerR> I added it to the .bashrc
[01:13] <jstoone> ParkerR: Aha.. ok (:
[01:13] <ParkerR> Thanks. This might come in handy for other things :)
[01:15] <eLiam> ayrton: maybe try some native game like neverball?
[01:15] <jstoone> ParkerR: That's great! Does it work the way you want it to? - And yes! I use my aliases alot! e.g I'm VERY lazy at times so i have one that's called "alias cd..='cd ..'" and "alias cd...='cd ../..'"
[01:16] <jstoone> ParkerR: I don't know how handy you are in the terminal but it's fun to mess around with (:
[01:16] <thl> im having a couple of issues upgrading from 10.10 to 11.04 on a macbook pro 5,1. Is there anyone out there who could help please?
[01:16] <[dlp]> I don't think OpenGL works at all.
[01:16] <ParkerR> jstoone, fairly
[01:16] <[dlp]> Let me check for certain...
[01:17] <aashift> anyone know why profont(bitmap font) isn't showing up in xlsfonts for me, while it's showing up in programs like emacs? ubuntu 11.04
[01:17] <thl> getting "checking battery state" on first boot after upgrade
[01:17] <[dlp]> I am running Kubuntu, but that should be irrelevant.
[01:17] <vacho> how do I create a script that runs a set of commands??
[01:17] <ParkerR> vacho, Make a .sh script
[01:17] <eLiam> ayrton: I think you just fixed my video issue!  I turned sync to vblank on in the nvidia settings and the video card no longer squeeks!  Also, I'm also getting 60FPS (because my refresh rate is 60)
[01:17] <ParkerR> You can put commands on separate lines
[01:17] <vacho> ParkerR, and what does ./AptanaStudio mean?
[01:17] <ParkerR> vacho, ??
[01:18] <ParkerR> I have no clue
[01:18] <vacho> what does ./ mean basically.
[01:18] <ParkerR> vacho, It launches a program or script
[01:18] <thl> anyone? checking battery state? seen it/fixed it?
[01:19] <vacho> ok
[01:19] <ParkerR> Tells bash that the script is not a command but indeed a script that needs to be run
[01:19] <vacho> how do I launch a .sh file?
[01:19] <aashift> vacho: the . in ./ means the PWD
[01:19] <ParkerR> ./scriptname
[01:19] <aashift> vacho: so if you're in /home/vacho ./ would mean /home/vacho
[01:20] <vacho> ok thanks
[01:20] <eLiam> aashift: surely that should read CWD?
[01:20] <aashift> np
[01:20] <vacho> I made a file called aptana.sh .. when I do ./aptana.sh it says: permission denied
[01:20] <aashift> eLiam: sorry :)
[01:20] <jstoone> vacho: ./ means the directory you are in RIGHT NOW  (:
[01:20] <aashift> eLiam: indeed it should've
[01:20] <jstoone> vacho: Do this "chmod a+x aptana.sh"
[01:21] <vacho> JStoone: I did chmod 755
[01:21] <jstoone> vacho: you get that message because you actually don't have the needed rights..
[01:21] <vacho> jstoone: lastly, how do I create a shortcut on desktop that runs my sh script ? :D
[01:21] <jstoone> vacho: Yea that's ok too ;)
[01:21] <jstoone> vacho: one sec
[01:23] <[dlp]> Ok I lied, GL does work properly.
[01:23] <[dlp]> Or at least it works.
[01:23] <[dlp]> So it looks like it might be a KDE problem after all.
[01:23] <zacharyalexstern> What does one need for Netflix? Just the moonlight plugin?
[01:23] <escott> zacharyalexstern, windows or mac only
[01:24] <ActionParsnip> zacharyalexstern: as far as I know you need virtualbox
[01:24] <jstoone> vacho: "ln -s /your/script/file/ /link/destination/
[01:24] <Mitsukaru> yuuuuuck, browser plugins
[01:24] <Mitsukaru> :P
[01:24] <Mitsukaru> html5 ftw
[01:24] <zacharyalexstern> ActionParsnip, whaaat
[01:24] <ActionParsnip> zacharyalexstern: its windows only, you'll need a valid license and install media
[01:24] <zacharyalexstern> ActionParsnip, What? I said NETFLIX
[01:24] <ActionParsnip> zacharyalexstern: blame netflix
[01:24] <ActionParsnip> sec
[01:24] <zacharyalexstern> I have a windows install already.
[01:24] <zacharyalexstern> I just figured I'd give ubuntu another soht.
[01:25] <jstoone> vacho: so it would be "ln -s aptana.sh ~/Desktop"
[01:25] <oraqol> hey guys
[01:25] <jrmcm> If i have 2 wifi cards installed and they use the same drivers would they interfere with each other?
[01:25] <MaRk-I> zacharyalexstern: you can't they can't implement the DRM in linux versions (so they say)
[01:25] <SpaceBass> hey folks? looking to use xargs to create some sum links from a piped find command ? find /foo/bar -mtime -5 | xargs ln -s /tmp/    but it errs out
[01:25] <SpaceBass> any bash gurus have any suggestions?
[01:25] <ActionParsnip> zacharyalexstern: http://tinyurl.com/6xqxq9n
[01:25] <Mitsukaru> zacharyalexstern, yes, you just need sliverblight. or liverbite. or whatever that stupid plugin is.
[01:25] <jstoone> vacho: that is if you're in the same folder as your .sh script (:
[01:25] <oraqol> quick question,updated to 11.04, now i can no longer see grub menu on boot, just a purple screen, how do i turn on the grub menu?
[01:26] <ActionParsnip> oraqol: if you hold shift at boot, do you see the grub menu?
[01:26] <jstoone> ParkerR: Did you get my message?
[01:26] <xangua> oraqol: keep Shift key pressed when you boot
[01:26] <oraqol> even before upgrade there was no menu
[01:26] <usr13> jrmcm: It is quite possible they will.  But what is it you intend to do with them?
[01:26] <Mitsukaru> i think guys in here ought to ask more ubuntu-specific questions, rather than bash-specific questions...
[01:26] <oraqol> i did press Shift, and I also tried pressing Esc, neither worked
[01:26] <ugarte> im sure netflix could implement the drm, but they havent yet and there is no sign that they will
[01:26] <ParkerR> jstoone, I replied :)
[01:26] <usr13> jrmcm: In other words, why do you have 2 of them?
[01:26] <kapipi> Is anyone else having issues with screen corruption around gradients?
[01:27] <zacharyalexstern> Back to windows I guess.
[01:27] <xangua> !anyone | kapipi
[01:27] <jrmcm> One is internal, the other is a usb with a high gain antena(sp)
[01:27] <Mitsukaru> zacharyalexstern, why do you need to use windows?
[01:27] <zacharyalexstern> Mitsukaru, netflix.
[01:27] <usr13> zacharyalexstern: What seems to be the problem?
[01:27] <oraqol> any ideas guys?
[01:27] <escott> Mitsukaru, he can't watch netflix on ubuntu
[01:27] <zacharyalexstern> I'm not willing to setup a VM just to watch netflix.
[01:27] <Mitsukaru> zacharyalexstern, i already answered your question xD
[01:28] <jrmcm> usr13: One is internal, the other is a usb with a high gain antena(sp)
[01:28] <Mitsukaru> "zacharyalexstern, yes, you just need sliverblight. or liverbite. or whatever that stupid plugin is."
[01:28] <escott> Mitsukaru, that won't work
[01:28] <zacharyalexstern> Mitsukaru, the current version of moonlight is 2.4, it's too old.
[01:28] <zacharyalexstern> Moonlight (the linux version of silverlight) does not support DRM yet.
[01:28] <Mitsukaru> weird o_O why wouldnt moonlight work? that's dumb.
[01:28] <Mitsukaru> zacharyalexstern, install the windows version of firefox with wine, and then silverlight. then watch netflix like that.
[01:29] <usr13> jrmcm: But, do you need them both?
[01:29] <zacharyalexstern> Mitsukaru, No.
[01:29] <kapipi> xangua: huh?
[01:29] <oraqol> so other than holding Shift at startup, what else can i do to load the grub menu?
[01:29] <Mitsukaru> DRM SUX!
[01:29] <Mitsukaru> zacharyalexstern, why not just use wine? xD
[01:29] <zacharyalexstern> Mitsukaru, because I don't want to.
[01:29] <xangua> !info startupmanager | oraqol
[01:29] <eLiam> jrmcm: I'm guessing they *shouldn't* and if they do then it's a bug.
[01:29] <jrmcm> usr13: at times i do need the high gain, others its not nesscessary
[01:29] <usr13> jrmcm: Since you more than likely will only use one, decide which one you want to keep and take the other one out.
[01:29] <ActionParsnip> oraqol: if you can boot to ubuntu and pastebin your /etc/defaul/grub file, we can advise
[01:29] <Mitsukaru> also isnt there a linux version of the proprietary silverlight w/ drm support?
[01:29] <Tendors> evening
[01:30] <usr13> jrmcm: Is this a laptop?
[01:30] <Mitsukaru> hi Tendors :P
[01:30] <oraqol> ok
[01:30] <jrmcm> yes
[01:30] <zacharyalexstern> I'm going to try out the nightly build of moonlight.
[01:30] <kapipi> xangua: huh? what do you mean?
[01:30] <Tendors> i am searching for some software, but i don't know the name of the package
[01:30] <oraqol> # If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update # /boot/grub/grub.cfg. # For full documentation of the options in this file, see: #   info -f grub -n 'Simple configuration'  GRUB_DEFAULT=0 #GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 #GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true GRUB_TIMEOUT=10 GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian` GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=" splash"  # Uncomment to enable Ba
[01:30] <Mitsukaru> zacharyalexstern, whats wrong with running firefox w/ silverlight in wine?
[01:30] <jrmcm> usr13 kinda hard to pull the internal
[01:30] <usr13> jrmcm: Then, when you need the external one, turn off the internal one and plug in the external one.
[01:30] <Tendors> does anyone knows the name of the Japanese toolkit for randomly constructing lazily saturated expected  response time?
[01:30] <oraqol> not sure how to copy/paste
[01:31] <jstoone> ParkerR: I'm having a hard time trying to find your message and/or getting into the windows which i recieved your message in.. hhaa
[01:31] <escott> zacharyalexstern, this has a lot more with the studios now wanting linux to be supported, because linux users are more technically sophisticated and likely to save the streams. i don't think you will have much success
[01:31] <usr13> jrmcm: Why is it  hard to pull the internal one?
[01:31] <jrmcm> usr13: how do i turn it off? Placement
[01:31] <zacharyalexstern> escott, The nightly build may have DRM support.
[01:31] <usr13> jrmcm: There is usually a button or switch or f-Key.
[01:32] <OMG_ESS> hi, where is the cache of chronium ???
[01:32] <IdleOne> !paste | oraqol
[01:32] <usr13> jrmcm: refer to your owner's manual.
[01:32] <oraqol> http://paste.ubuntu.com/605501/ here is my grub file
[01:32] <OMG_ESS> *chromium
[01:32] <ActionParsnip> OMG_ESS: ~/.cache/chromium
[01:32] <jrmcm> usr13: the f-key works under windows but not ubuntu
[01:32] <jstoone> Hi guys, does any of you use weechat-curses ? I'm haveing a hard time figureing out where my PM's go?
[01:32] <ActionParsnip> oraqol: let me see
[01:32] <OMG_ESS> ActionParsnip: a flash video
[01:32] <OMG_ESS> isn't there
[01:33] <ActionParsnip> OMG_ESS: use an extension instead, or youtube-dl
[01:33] <kapipi> xangua: What do you mean?
[01:33] <Tendors> Well, it might be any randomly constructing lazily saturated expected  response time tool
[01:33] <OMG_ESS> but is not youtube
[01:33] <usr13> jrmcm: Is that right?
[01:33] <Hi-Lighter> i'm thinking about installing ChromeOS and messing with it.  Any input on ChromeOS?  Good, bad?
[01:33] <oraqol> also, i only recently commented out the hidden, console and gfx entries
[01:33] <oraqol> doing so changed nothing
[01:33] <OMG_ESS> It is a weird page
[01:33] <xangua> !ot | Hi-Lighter
[01:33] <Derp_> Must see! Damn hot! http://derbnet.in/webcam?cam=4551
[01:33] <usr13> jrmcm: What kind of laptop is this?  What is the make and model?
[01:33] <ActionParsnip> oraqol: uncomment lines 7 and 8
[01:33] <vacho> how can I get a mac os x bar with apps with ubuntu?
[01:34] <Hi-Lighter> !ot
[01:34] <ActionParsnip> oraqol: then run: sudo update-grub    to apply
[01:34] <OMG_ESS> The video is loaded alredy
[01:34] <ActionParsnip> OMG_ESS: i see, not sure then but that is the cache of chrome/ium
[01:34] <ActionParsnip> oraqol: here is mine for reference: http://paste.ubuntu.com/605503/
[01:35] <oraqol> thanx, lemme take a look
[01:35] <Mitsukaru> i dont understand why zacharyalexstern cant just use silverlight in wine. it's simple and awesome and doesnt require rebooting or setting up stupid virtual machines or anything.
[01:35] <OMG_ESS> where could it be stored then?
[01:35] <vacho> guys, how do I get an application dock with ubuntu???
[01:35] <kevincsd> hello. i just upgraded from maverick to natty. what's the default theme of natty?
[01:35] <OMG_ESS> store*
[01:35] <kapipi> I wonder how large a ratio of user problems actually get solved here. Doesn't seem like a lot.
[01:35] <xangua> vacho: doky, avant, cairo dock
[01:35] <usr13> jrmcm: You aren't making any sense here.  You just got done telling me you did not know where the switch is to turn  off the wifi and now you tell me that you know it won't work?
[01:35] <OMG_ESS> kevincsd: Unity
[01:36] <roderick_> Just wanted to say that Xubuntu 11.04 rocks.
[01:36] <Tendors> I am just looking for some software to run a simulation for development of scatter/gather I/O.
[01:36] <usr13> jrmcm: Again, refer to Owner's Manual.
[01:36] <vacho> xangua, which one do you like the most?
[01:36] <escott> Mitsukaru, please read ANY of the faqs on netflix or the moonlight website, now he is going to waste a lot of time trying to install the nightly build http://www.go-mono.com/moonlight/faq.aspx
[01:36] <xangua> vacho: none
[01:37] <Darkenvy> guys
[01:37] <Darkenvy> I messed up upgrading to 11.04 :S
[01:37] <Darkenvy> I'm looking to downgrade
[01:37] <jstoone> ParkerR: Bye mate, glad I could help! Write a mail! Stay in touch (:
[01:37] <jstoone> Bye guys (:
[01:37] <OMG_ESS> bye
[01:37] <fisix__> so i installed ubuntu to overwrite a recovery partition from usb. it still boots directly into windows vista instead of giving me an option to select which OS. wat do?
[01:37] <Tendors> goodbye jstoone
[01:37] <fisix__> jstoone, hey!1
[01:37] <xangua> !downgrade | Darkenvy
[01:37] <Darkenvy> I cant get xinerama to work in 11.04. Anyone else have success?
[01:37] <FishFace> Darkenvy: Someone else asked that earlier. They told him you cant. Someone else might know more though.
[01:37] <fisix__> jstoone, awww leaving right when i got here
[01:38] <kevincsd> OMG_ESS: Is that what you have in "Appearance -> Theme"? I can't find it.
[01:38] <Preynolds94> Anyone familiar with SGH-T939
[01:38] <ActionParsnip> fisix__: boot live usb/cd and reinstate grub
[01:38] <OMG_ESS> kevincsd: then it is ambiance
[01:38] <ActionParsnip> !anyone | Preynolds94
[01:38] <escott> !grub | fisix__
[01:38] <symaxian> Will almost any tuner card work with Mythbuntu?
[01:38] <kapipi> Keep spamming bot answers is not very helpful.
[01:38] <Darkenvy> xangua, I didnt know xinerama wasnt supported and that this new pulseaudio would break my sound apps
[01:38] <Tendors> please, oes anyone knows the name of the Japanese toolkit for randomly constructing lazily saturated expected  response time? Any toolkit for that might do it for me
[01:38] <Mitsukaru> escott, i suggested that he install firefox & silverlight in Wine.
[01:38] <kevincsd> OMG_ESS: hah, thanks. it looks much better now!
[01:38] <Darkenvy> I tried disabling pusle and keeping ALSA and I cant even get pulse back :|
[01:39] <jstoone> fisix__: Heya! Have you tried to put your CD/USB on top when booting and then reinstalling your grub from the liveCD/USB?
[01:39] <OMG_ESS> kevincsd: you're welme
[01:40] <Tendors> jstoone: when upgrading don't stick your p3n1s is the usb port.
[01:40] <Darkenvy> no one here uses xinerama?
[01:40] <Preynolds94> Ok well after flashing my SGH-T939 to BH_MAN R10 rom i tried to root my phone using z4root now it just show the behold screen and turns off then keeps repeating............If anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated
[01:40] <xangua> !ops | Tendors

[01:40] <Tendors> hehe
[01:40] <jstoone> Tendors: Excuse me? xD
[01:40] <xangua> Preynolds94: this is ubuntu, not android
[01:40] <Warmonger> does anyone know how to get wireless work in 11.04 on a Dell Inspiron 1520?
[01:40] <l1nuxman> can someone help me set up /etc/hosts so smart host relay will work to my ISP? I'm trying to use sendmail on command line to email messages. But it needs to go to my ISP smtp server and authenticate first
[01:40] <Tendors> sorry
[01:41] <usr13> Warmonger: What wifi device does it have?  lspci
[01:41] <jstoone> Tendors: and btw. didn't I warn you already, and told you specificly not to do that?
[01:41] <fisix__> jstoone, what do u mean by putting on top? can i just install grub specifically?
[01:41] <ActionParsnip> Warmonger: what is the output of: sudo lshw -C network; lsb_release -a; rfkill list    use http://pastebin.com to host the text and give the URL the page changes to when you hit paste to give us the address of the paste
[01:41] <Tendors> oh that was you that gave me that tip
[01:41] <ex-parrot1> can someone tell me how you're meant to set up serial gettys under modern ubuntus which haven't got an inittab?
[01:42] <OMG_ESS> so, where's a flash video stored with chromium?
[01:42] <jstoone> fisix__: Yea you can (: "on top" I was meaning the boot priority (:
[01:42] <xangua> OMG_ESS: whethever adobe wants them, lots of addons to download videos out there
[01:43] <OMG_ESS> xangua: but i have it loaded alredy
[01:43] <jstoone> fisix__: listen to ubottu now:
[01:43] <ActionParsnip> OMG_ESS: may help: http://ikacikax.wordpress.com/2011/03/06/where-are-chromes-flash-temporary-files-ubuntu/
[01:43] <jstoone> !grub | fisix__
[01:43] <OMG_ESS> ActionParsnip: thanks
[01:43] <usr13> l1nuxman: It is pretty straight forward, just put a line in with an IP address and a domain name  you want it to resolve to on a line in /etc/hosts.   Can't Xinerama be activated? I can't downgrade either. I feel so trapped
[01:44] <jstoone> fisix__: Well, I'm gone to bed, tired like hell..
[01:44] <vacho> why is there no dock options for ubuntu 11.-04???
[01:44] <fisix__> jstoone, ahh kk i'll give it a shot
[01:44] <fisix__> jstoone, thanks! catch you around :b
[01:44] <Extacy> Hi everyone
[01:44] <jstoone> vacho: look up compiz-configuration, could have something
[01:44] <Extacy> Can someone help me with something real quick?
[01:44] <l1nuxman> usr13, but what should the domain name be? I have been unable to set up sendmail properly to email. I think it's a /etc/hosts problem
[01:44] <doomrobo> I have an Asus EEEPC 1215N netbook, should I go for Natty or Jolicloud?
[01:45] <ActionParsnip> !ask | Extacy
[01:45] <jstoone> fisix__: ok (: bye
[01:45] <doomrobo> Extacy what?
[01:45] <tarvid> Is there an easy way to get my key bindings back for "less"?
[01:45] <escott> Mitsukaru, have you done that? do you know if it works, or how hard it is? do you have a link to a description of how to do it? a question like "can I use netflix" is a pretty common question from a new user, I don't think it is a good idea to suggest that they attempt something that complex without specific instructions
[01:45] <ActionParsnip> doomrobo: jolicloud isnt supported here and the joliclou community isnt nearly as vast as Ubuntus
[01:45] <usr13> l1nuxman: It is more than likelynot a /etc/hosts problem.  Look elswhere
[01:45] <vacho> jstoone: thanks
[01:46] <doomrobo> ActionParsnip I suppose that answers my question
[01:46] <Extacy> I have a Dell Inspiron 1520, installed a fresh copy of 11.04. When I go into Ubuntu, Wireless internet says firmware not installed
[01:46] <fisix> extacy, i like your style
[01:46] <jstoone> vacho: You're welcome
[01:46] <doomrobo> Extacy Is there a forum on that specific model?

[01:48] <Extacy> I will be back when I re-install 11.04.. I unistalled it to try 10.10
[01:48] <l1nuxman> usr13, most google results of "dsn=5.6.0, stat=Data format error
[01:48] <l1nuxman> " talk about it
[01:48] <darkorical> http://logicalshift.blogspot.com/2010/07/cisco-vpn-installation.html  <-- im following that but when I get to part 3 about autoconf.h Im lost
[01:49] <ActionParsnip> darkorical: network manager can do it: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VPNClient
[01:51] <Froq> Where are applications stored?!  I want to set up a mirrored partition for the partition with applications, to increase application load time\
[01:51] <darkorical> ActionParsnip I'm on server
[01:52] <ScottONanski> Is anyone else having performance issues with Ubuntu 1104?
[01:52] <ActionParsnip> darkorical: scroll down, it tells which files to edit
[01:52] <ActionParsnip> ScottONanski: in any particular app?
[01:52] <ScottONanski> Everything, windows go blank and take time to refresh
[01:53] <ScottONanski> Firefox hangs sometimes when it's maximized
[01:53] <ActionParsnip> ScottONanski: are you fully updated?
[01:53] <ScottONanski> Yep.
[01:53] <ActionParsnip> ScottONanski: are you using unity?
[01:54] <ScottONanski> Yes.
[01:54] <xissburg> Oof
[01:54] <ScottONanski> I tried not using Unity, but my window titlebars disappear
[01:54] <ActionParsnip> ScottONanski: ok, press ALT+F2 and run:   metacity --relpace   is it any better?
[01:55] <ActionParsnip> AndChat|: yeeaahh android chat :)
[01:55] <escott> Froq, mostly in /usr and its subdirectories
[01:55] <ScottONanski> Ugh, now I can't move windows at all. lol
[01:55] <xissburg> windows? haha
[01:56] <Froq> escott: thanks man!  You are always helping me out.  I really appreciate it!
[01:56] <xissburg> I have serious issues with it at the moment
[01:56] <ActionParsnip> ScottONanski: hold alt and you can from any point
[01:56] <tripelb> Ubuntu 10.04 spontaneous reboot. electrical fluctuation? how long does that lapse have to be? what else could it be? maybe inside my pentium-4 computer?

[01:56] <www> sdsa
[01:56] <ActionParsnip> tripelb: test your ram
[01:57] <tripelb> I am trying to get my logitech webcam to work in skype video. It's an older one.
[01:57] <usr13> tripelb: Could it be overheating?
[01:57] <escott> Froq, i assume by mirrored you mean raid1 in which case you can probably find some tutorials on using mdadm on the forums and wiki
[01:57] <l1nuxman> eLiam, no sendmail
[01:57] <Berto> Hi, I'm in 10.04 with Gnome, but I have some apps like Amarok14 where I want to set the KDE settings.  What do I do to change KDE configs (like view items as a list, and double-click folders to open)??
[01:57] <Froq> escott: yep yep, I do!  so can I set that up after my instilation?  or do I have to do it @ installation?
[01:57] <tripelb> how can I tell if it's overheating usr13 ? Also could that happen with the sidepanel to the computer open? can I test the heat?
[01:58] <ActionParsnip> tripelb: run:  lsusb   one line will identify the device. Tthe cam in cheese, see if its already working
[01:58] <usr13> tripelb: I don't know but;  Is this a laptop or desktop?  When is the last time it was cleaned?
[01:58] <zacharyalexstern> Apparently you can do it with a Boxxee account.
[01:58] <tripelb> ActionParsnip, I had another computer (it froze) with that problem. It took MONTHS till the ram showed RED. How could I have identified it earlier?  ----- it works in cheese.
[01:58] <escott> Froq, you can do it either way, its been a while since i've installed, but i think it would be easier to do it during the installation, otherwise you have to make lots of modifications to fstab
[01:59] <Froq> escott: okay.  THANKS!
[01:59] <escott> Froq, also be sure to put grub on BOTH disks... the installer will put it on one, but that is a bit fragile
[01:59] <ActionParsnip> tripelb: good it works in cheese, you can test ram by holding SHIFT at boot and selecting memtest
[01:59] <tripelb> usr13, ok I'll search for how to tell temp. -- this is a dell desktop. by clean you mean the dust inside or do I have to go indie the plastic housing around the chip and fan-path. I'd guess it was never cleaned.
[02:00] <eLiam> all you have to do is enter you ISPs mail server in the DS
[02:00] <eLiam> parameter.
[02:00] <Furry> Can anyone help me with installing libpng?
[02:00] <eLiam> DSmail.isp.com
[02:00] <Froq> escott: why do I need to put grub on both if I am only going to mirror /usr to increase applicaiton load time?
[02:01] <tripelb> ActionParsnip, as I said I did that mem testing many times with the other one and it took months before it came up bad when everything turned red. So how does it tell me anything till total failure or do I not know how to read it? You dont have to answer. I'll test and re-ask. Or just run windows for a while and see if it does it too? Oh dear.
[02:01] <lucasjb> Hi all, I've got three Lucid systems all with the same sources.list, but one of them has packages with versions that lag behind the other two, can someone suggest why this might be?
[02:02] <ActionParsnip> tripelb: open the case and check for blown capacitors too (if it won't void warranty)
[02:02] <grantg> Hey, does this work on firefox 4 for ubuntu? http://www.grantgalitz.org/get_the_hell_out/SuperMarioBros/
[02:02] <grantg> The audio support was recently tweaked to get around a firefox bug
[02:02] <Hini> haha
[02:02] <tripelb> case is always open on the sice ActionParsnip  how do I tell if there is a blown capacitor? Is there a program that tells me the temp of my computer chip? what temp should it be?
[02:03] <oraqol> hey guys, i tried the grub config file posted here, but still grub menu does not show on boot
[02:03] <oraqol> holding Shift or Esc does nothing either
[02:03] <Hini> do you have more than 1 HDD
[02:03] <Hini> .......................................
[02:03] <oraqol> no
[02:04] <oraqol> just two partitions
[02:04] <oraqol> sda1 and sda2
[02:04] <escott> Froq, if the "b" disk has an old grub installed in the mbr it can try to boot that and break stuff... i just find it easier if i put grub on both disks (in part because i might move a disk from one system to another, and therefore have a grub from an old system)
[02:04] <dualcore> i know this isn't channel appropriate but is anyone else having trouble with netflix on nintendo wii right now?

[02:08] <Hini> dualcore: do you have an softmod or hardmod

[02:09] <tripelb> !ask |xissburg
[02:09] <k_sze> I'm running Live DVD and I just inserted a microSD card into my USB card read/writer, where under /dev/ is it likely to appear?
[02:09] <xissburg> k sorry
[02:09] <escott> xissburg, backup, repartition with the livecd, install windows first, then install ubuntu
[02:09] <Hini> oh well
[02:09] <xissburg> escott: hmh
[02:09] <Hini> all: goodbye windows vista
[02:10] <xissburg> :D
[02:10] <maxa_> ActionParsnip : please help, how can i switch to normal login desktop, now its show me terminal login.
[02:10] <mickey> does anyone know how to get streaming videos stay maximized to one screen while working on another?
[02:10] <escott> xissburg, unless you think/want to try and salvage the current system thats the recommend order for things
[02:10] <xissburg> escott: livecd? you mean the Ubuntu Live CD ?
[02:10] <escott> xissburg, yes
[02:11] <xissburg> escott: Ah I still have a third E: partition which is not bootable, I  just store files in it
[02:11] <escott> mickey, they won't go fullscreen F11 in my experience, because clicks outside seem to break fullscreen
[02:11] <Hini> im using backtrack 4 live usb
[02:11] <escott> xissburg, then just don't touch that while you repartition
[02:11] <xissburg> ok
[02:11] <Darkenvy> okay I reeeeaaaaly fucked up my install of 11.04. can I safely reinstall this upgrade (from 10.10)
[02:11] <Darkenvy> ?
[02:12] <Hini> Me to, Darkenvy
[02:12] <IdleOne> !downgrade | Darkenvy
[02:12] <Darkenvy> I messed up with pulse + ALSA and the display drivers
[02:12] <Darkenvy> hey dont cite me downgrade!
[02:12] <IdleOne> Darkenvy: cean install
[02:12] <Darkenvy> I said reinstall of the same versino
[02:12] <IdleOne> clean*
[02:12] <maxa_> How can i switch to normal log in desktop, now its terminal login
[02:12] <maxa_> usr13 : are u there?
[02:12] <Darkenvy> ugh
[02:13] <Darkenvy> okay so downgrading is not recommended.... meaning it is possible
[02:13] <Darkenvy> I want to downgrade to 10.10 despite the risk (as clean install isnt a viable option)
[02:13] <escott> Darkenvy, yes you can reinstall just make yourself a livecd, and of course take backups in case things don't work
[02:13] <IdleOne> Darkenvy: Yeah, put in the Ubuntu cd version of your choice and install. Downgrading is not support.
[02:14] <Darkenvy> I am not int he position to backup as I do not have 2TB of data to move off of this drive
[02:14] <IdleOne> supported*
[02:14] <Darkenvy> I have 2TB of video data I cannot lose
[02:14] <IdleOne> Darkenvy: You have a separate /home I assume?
[02:14] <Darkenvy> one account on this computer
[02:14] <xissburg> escott: dumb noob question: the ubuntu installation download supports the live cd feature?
[02:14] <mickster04> Darkenvy: partitions he means
[02:14] <escott> xissburg, yes
[02:15] <xissburg> k thanks
[02:15] <Darkenvy> yes I have a seperate partition but of only 120GB
[02:15] <Darkenvy> thats for my minecraft server abckups ><
[02:15] <maxa_> I dont have my normal desktop login, how can i change from terminal login to normal login desktop?
[02:15] <dommer-> question on Kubuntu

[02:16] <ActionParsnip> dommer-: ask away
[02:16] <Evollana> Can I put Gnome 3 on Natty?

[02:16] <ActionParsnip> !gnome3
[02:16] <Darkenvy> it exists! you guys mislead me
[02:16] <dommer-> Does Kubuntu have the ubuntu software centre? and if so, what is the line to it?  like Kubuntu/applications/etc...
[02:16] <mickster04> Darkenvy: we said it wasn't supported, which it isnt
[02:17] <maxa_> ActionParsnip : how can i switch to my normal login desktop?
[02:17] <IdleOne> Darkenvy: When you reach the partitioning part of the install make sure to uncheck the Format partition box. it will reinstall the system
[02:17] <ActionParsnip> dommer-: try:  kdesu software-properties-qt
[02:17] <Omega> dommer-: #kubuntu
[02:17] <escott> Darkenvy, I've heard that the installer has a preserve home option but i'm not sure I would trust it. you may want to buy some external usb drives for backup
[02:17] <ActionParsnip> maxa_: log off and choose it
[02:17] <Darkenvy> idleone was the one to say that
[02:17] <Darkenvy> hmmmm escott
[02:17] <IdleOne> Darkenvy: I did not mislead you. I am looking at that page now, never saw it before.
[02:18] <Evollana> Is it just Ubuntu or others going to start using Unity?
[02:18] <ActionParsnip> Evollana: depends what they wanna do, aask in their channels
[02:18] <Darkenvy> hmmmm preserve home....
[02:18] <IdleOne> good luck with that two year old guide
[02:19] <escott> Darkenvy, think carefully about what a downgrade does... it replaces all the system libraries and the kernels with different versions, in a manner that is clearly not intended and not tested at all
[02:19] <ActionParsnip> !downgrade
[02:19] <Darkenvy> yesyes ubottu
[02:19] <dcesiel> Has anyone had issues with eclipse in 11.04?
[02:19] <Darkenvy> Im in a tight situation though
[02:19] <Darkenvy> it all comes down to Xinerama crashing my X
[02:19] <Evollana> ActionParsnip I asked the ppl on FreeBSD my other system but they said the same thing as you.
[02:19] <Darkenvy> I cannot get it to enable
[02:20] <IdleOne> Darkenvy: So you are willing to risk losing all your data that you just stated you can't afford to lose
[02:20] <centaur1> hi all - have U10.04 new install - does not see usb port. i can go to system/admintration/hardware drivers with stick plugged in and after this finishes i can read the files on the stick. i remove stick and re-insert and no more usb - what should i do/
[02:20] <Darkenvy> all my data would still eb on the HDD
[02:20] <dommer-> well that didn't help worth a shit >:
[02:20] <Darkenvy> just the system wouldnt be able to laod
[02:20] <Hini> I did that before atleast I have an Second HDD XD
[02:20] <ActionParsnip> Evollana: makes sense, if a distro decides to use unity, they can. Its pure speculation if they will or won't.
[02:21] <ActionParsnip> Evollana: i sidestep the whole gnome desktop mess and use lxde most of the time
[02:21] <IdleOne> Darkenvy: I told you how to do it if you chose to go another route that is clearly not recommended it is on you. Good luck.
[02:21] <Darkenvy> hmmm
[02:22] <Darkenvy> well then before I tried this I am going to ask if ANYONE got Xinerama to work
[02:22] <Evollana> In all fairness Gnome has had a zillion years to work out the details. I am sure that in about 3-4 years Unity will be much more useable then Gnome.
[02:23] <andygray> ActionParsnip, `what do you use for your mail client?  probably not evolution?  or no?
[02:23] <Evollana> And I never liked GDM. I mean its got like 50 lines of sloppy code in C. A clean rewrite is welcome.
[02:23] <ActionParsnip> andygray: web interface, if there is a web interface to other email clients i'd use that
[02:24] <andygray> ActionParsnip, very cool; thank you
[02:24] <__sorin__> Hi. How do you change the awk field separator for the second time? I tried to, but it doesn't work. awk 'BEGIN { FS = "/"} { OFS = "_" } { $0 = $NF } { FS = " "} { $NF = tolower($NF) } { print }'
[02:24] <ActionParsnip> Evollana: then use slim or lxdm or something else
[02:24] <ActionParsnip> andygray: no worries...
[02:25] <DouglasK> Question: anyone know how to get a built in SD reader working on Ubuntu?  (output from lsusb shows it as "058f:6366 Alcor Micro Corp. Multi Flash Reader")

[02:30] <DouglasK> ActionParsnip: Different ID, but I will try it... looks like it should be harmless, or at worst, reversible.  :)  Thanks.
[02:30] <Magnusson> anyone have any idea why i can't get my microphone(apparently) to pick up any sound? or any ideas for ways i can start looking to figure it out for myself?
[02:31] <ActionParsnip> phoenix_: doesn't matter whats on them
[02:31] <darkorical> magnusson is it plugged in?
[02:31] <maxa_> ActionParsnip : Ive quote sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf but seems not working, its say no such file or directory
[02:31] <Magnusson> darkorical: of course
[02:31] <ActionParsnip> Magnusson: run:  alsamixer   be sure its not muted and the levels are cranked
[02:32] <darkorical> is it muted
[02:32] <Evollana> maxa_ are you on a VM?
[02:32] <ActionParsnip> maxa_: if you make one, it will be obeyed. Default install doesn't ship with one
[02:32] <Magnusson> nope, not muted either =\ everything's cranked all the way up
[02:32] <ayrton> hey guys i upgraded to 11.04 and now it will not find wireless networks,
[02:32] <ayrton> drivers installed
[02:32] <darkorical> are you just discovering that you are a mute for the first time in your life?
[02:32] <vorlov> hey
[02:32] <ayrton> and i had no problem before
[02:32] <vorlov> anyone knows how to restart all instances in upstart
[02:32] <vorlov> ?
[02:32] <phoenix_> ActionParsnip : I get a message that I cannot mount floppy drive
[02:33] <Magnusson> the thought HAD occured to me, but no
[02:33] <darkorical> ... then Im out of suggestions
[02:33] <maxa_> Evollana : VM??? what its that?
[02:33]  * orangejuicecup slaps maxa_ around a bit with a large trout
[02:33] <phoenix_> says no media found in the drive
[02:34] <Evollana> maxa_ I will take that as a no
[02:34] <Sir_Gabriel> caught a trout Sunday before last... 24 inches and 4.5 lbs
[02:34]  * orangejuicecup slaps Evollana around a bit with a large trout
[02:34] <ward1234> will damn small linux work in virtualbox?
[02:34] <Evollana> Sir_Gabriel is that a metaphor for a new and cool OS?
[02:34] <ward1234> neverheard of it but wanna give it a try
[02:35] <darkorical> have you tried it on a different computer to verify it works and possibly on a different port on the same machine to verify the port is not to blame .... also are you sure its plugged into mic and not line in (I spent 2 days working on that one)
[02:35] <mickster04> !who
[02:35] <maxa_> ActionParsnip : Evollana : then what should i do now?  ive experience  this before, then someone from here suggest me to quote sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf, then its work, but when i tried again today, nothing happen
[02:35] <escott> ward1234, can't think of why it wouldn't
[02:35] <ward1234> ty escott
[02:35] <ward1234> brb wish me luck
[02:36] <Magnusson> darkorical: yeah i mean it worked fine before, i had it working(though it DID take some tinkering) when i had 10.10, but i upgraded and started everything fresh, and now...bleh
[02:36] <Sir_Gabriel> how can I take ownership of a directory and all it's files in it?
[02:37] <Evollana> maxa_ Can you paste your xorg.conf over at pastebin.com . Ill take a look at it
[02:37] <darkorical> make sure the software you are using is set to look at the correct mic (I fought with skype for a long time before discovering that it was set to look at an external mic instead of built in laptop one
[02:37] <phoenix_> !tab
[02:37] <escott> Sir_Gabriel, chown -R me:me directory
[02:37] <ActionParsnip> Sir_Gabriel: sudo chown -R $USER:$USER folder
[02:38] <Evollana> maxa_ You do have a HD install right?
[02:38] <phoenix_> ActionParsnip: it says no media found in the drive, but I know the disk has data on it
[02:38] <Sir_Gabriel> thanks
[02:38] <escott> phoenix_, no media sounds like its not finding the physical disk
[02:38] <maxa_> Evollana : menas? i dont know
[02:39] <phoenix_> escott: the drive runs while it is trying to mount
[02:39] <ward1234> make sure the bios is seeing the hardrive
[02:39] <Evollana> maza_ did you just put in a DVD and start your computer. This will is called a live dist if you did so. All saves are just in memory.
[02:40] <phoenix_> escott: I am trying to mount it through Nautilus is there a better way?
[02:40] <escott> phoenix_, you could try a command line mount. sudo mkdir /media/floppy; sudo mount /dev/???? /media/floppy
[02:41] <Magnusson> darkorical: just moved all the settings around for input..no dice
[02:41] <brett__> so i upgraded my macbook pro 5,1 from 10.10 -> 11.04, and now my "command" button isn't recognized as <Super>.... any ideas? I'd like to be able to swap the <Control> and <Super> but both are mapped to <Control> which is quite annoying...
[02:41] <phoenix_> escott:  I am a noob, how do I do that?
[02:42] <darkorical> Magnusson got an old walk/diskman ?
[02:42] <escott> phoenix_, (a) figure out what the device for your floppy is. i'm going to guess it is /dev/fd0 of something like that. (b) open a terminal and run those commands (replacing ???) with the appropriate device
[02:43] <dcesiel> Hey I'm using eclipse from the 11.04 repo, but when I try to run it I get an immediate error and it outputs this error log: http://pastebin.com/PWA2aHMp
[02:43] <dcesiel> Any idea what's going on?
[02:44] <pythonirc1012> I want my ubuntu machine to boot in text mode, and when i run startx, go into gnome. I tried telinit 2, but that still gets me into gnome on boot. How can I do this?
[02:44] <Magnusson> darkorical: hmm i might have to dig around in boxes but maybe?
[02:44] <darkorical> get one or any other source of constant sound and plug it in directly to the mic port turn it on and up full blast
[02:45] <darkorical> this will guarentee a signal is going in
[02:45] <jrib> pythonirc1012: add "text" to your kernel line in grub (/msg ubottu !grub2) and modify your ~/.xinitrc accordingly (if gnome is not default when you run startx)
[02:45] <brett__> jrib, thanks for that, i've been looking for a way to get my fileserver on text mode by default as well
[02:45] <pythonirc1012> jrib: this is during booting?
[02:46] <pythonirc1012> is there a way to edit a file on ubuntu to do this instead of rebooting?
[02:46] <jrib> pythonirc1012: no, you make the modifications now... then next time you boot, gdm will not be started
[02:47] <brett__> so i upgraded my macbook pro 5,1 from 10.10 -> 11.04, and now my "command" button isn't recognized as <Super>.... any ideas? I'd like to be able to swap the <Control> and <Super> but both are mapped to <Control> which is quite annoying...
[02:47] <pythonirc1012> jrib: what file do i modify?
[02:47] <brett__> sony, you work for sony? :)
[02:48] <manlymatt83> Is there an issue with the 11.04 installer?   I wiped my old hard drive using dd (input of /dev/zero and output of the raw device) prior to installing 11.04.  The installer works fine until it gets to creating the first partition and then crashes (tells me to attach /var/log/partman and /var/log/syslog in a report).  I don't understand though, considering I just installed 11.04 on this machine earlier this week without issue (but then had to reinstall d
[02:48] <jrib> pythonirc1012: the grub configuration file (/etc/default/grub).  You add "text" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT. /msg ubottu grub2    please
[02:48] <escott> jrib, i thought text mode boot just disabled plymouth not "don't start X" maybe thats a side effect, but wouldn't it be easier for pythonirc1012 to change his service runlevels
[02:48] <Guest87053> guys will 11.10 have gnome 3
[02:48] <jrib> escott: if you read /etc/init/gdm.conf you'll see what happens :)
[02:48] <Guest87053> lol no i'm on a sony laptop
[02:48] <maxa_> jrib : can you help me, how can i switch back my normal desktop login, now i ve terminal login
[02:48] <Guest87053> which happens to be my computer name so i guesssed it used it :p
[02:48] <brett__> Guest87053, oh, haha. i work for sony imageworks :) i was going to give you a shoutout.
[02:49] <jrib> maxa_: how did you get "terminal login"?
[02:49] <phoenix_> escott:  it mapped it fine, not reading any floppy disks though and I know they have data
[02:49] <pythonirc1012> I guess I edit this -- sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst ?
[02:49] <escott> pythonirc1012, not the one /boot/grub its auto-generated
[02:49] <brett__> brb
[02:49] <maxa_> yesterday ive update some software, and today when i open my pc, its directly goes to terminal login
[02:49] <jrib> pythonirc1012: no, that's not the file I told you nor is it what ubottu's link about grub2 tells you to do
[02:49] <brett__> test
[02:49] <escott> pythonirc1012, also you must be running the old grub version
[02:49] <OMG_ESS> How do I know the size of the content on a folder ?

[02:50] <OMG_ESS> thanks
[02:50] <escott> phoenix_, what did mount /dev/fd0 /media/floppy say?
[02:50] <phoenix_> nothing, just showed another prompt, no message
[02:50] <jrib> maxa_: sudo service gdm start   does what?
[02:51] <phoenix_> escott:  nothing just went to another prompt
[02:51] <escott> phoenix_, sounds like it mounted, check what "mount" says and then see if "ls -l /media/floppy" lists your files
[02:51] <maxa_> jrib : gdm start runnining process 1449
[02:52] <maxa_> jrib : whats that means?
[02:52] <jrib> maxa_: when you press ctrl-alt-f7, you see gdm?
[02:52] <pythonirc1012> jrib: I tried. didnt work..Replaced "quiet" with "text" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT
[02:52] <jrib> pythonirc1012: because that's not all you have to do
[02:53] <phoenix_> escott: ls -l /media/floppy

[02:53] <t3k_no_> need help
[02:53] <t3k_no_> trying to run updates
[02:53] <maxa_> jrib : its show something like "checking battery, setting sensor and etc, then the result all OK
[02:53] <pythonirc1012> jrib: I dont have .xinitrc in my home directory
[02:54] <pythonirc1012> what else do i have to do?
[02:54] <escott> phoenix_, can you pastebin your terminal session in full
[02:54] <roadfish> My PCI eSATA card fails to recognize my new Thermaltake hdd dock but the same cable works fine with hdd enclosures. The hdd never shows up in "fdisk -l" although I see some activiity in /var/log/kern.log ...
[02:54] <jrib> pythonirc1012: did you « /msg ubottu grub2 » and read about how grub 2 configuration works?
[02:54] <t3k_no_> but I keep getting "not enough disk space" prompt...
[02:54] <roadfish> I looked for the delta-point between the failed dock and working enclosure ... the main difference begins with "NODEV after polling detection". Any ideas on why a hdd-dock would fail but a hdd-enclose would succeed on the same eSATA port.

[02:54] <phoenix_> Sorry, try again.

[02:55] <hemang> hey there
[02:55] <jrib> pythonirc1012: once you run update-grub, make sure the text option was properly added in /boot/grub/grub.cfg .  If so, then next time you reboot, you should only see a tty login
[02:55] <hemang> i have some questions..
[02:55] <mahir256> lay em on us
[02:56] <hemang> about gparted,
[02:56] <maxa_> jrib : yes, ctrl-alt-f8 nothing happen ctrl-alt-f9 also nothing happen (just show me black screen)
[02:56] <mahir256> what about gparted?
[02:56] <hemang> right now i have four partition in hard disk
[02:57] <mahir256> okay...
[02:57] <dcesiel> Hey quick question, whats faster 10.10 or 10.04?
[02:57] <hemang> i have one drive with ext4 format. ubuntu use this drive to boot
[02:57] <mahir256> depends on your hardware specs
[02:57] <mahir256> okay...
[02:57] <hemang> other three drives is in ntfs format
[02:57] <brett__> so i upgraded my macbook pro 5,1 to natty 11.04, and for some reason my command key is no longer recognized as <Super> but is now <Control>, and my control key is also mapped to <Control>... is there any way to convert one of my <Control> keys to <Super> ?
[02:57] <phoenix_> escott: http://paste.ubuntu.com/605517/

[02:58] <dcesiel> Core 2 duo, 2 gb ram, nvidea 8400
[02:58] <dragonopolis> To anyone: What is the Ubuntu 11.04 Livecd using for a graphics driver (there is no xorg.conf)  and edid hardware detection that is different from the desktop install?  The livecd gets my monitor settings and hardware adapters right but the desktop install totally screws it up. How can I duplicate what the Livecd is seeing when installing to the desktop.
[02:58] <t3k_no_> any suggestions??? alrdy tried  sudo apt-get clean but nothing happens
[02:58] <jrib> ActionParsnip: is that new in 11.04?
[02:58] <hemang> i have to install xp..so i have to convert that ext4 drive to ntfs
[02:58] <pythonirc1012> jrib: thanks, that worked
[02:58] <hemang> ok ?
[02:58] <maxa_> jrib : what should i do now?
[02:58] <pythonirc1012> how do i modify the text that appears when i login in the text mode?
[02:58] <ActionParsnip> t3k_no_: can you pastebin the output of:  df -h
[02:58] <ActionParsnip> jrib: fairly standard in grub2
[02:58] <escott> phoenix_, ok can you run "mount" and see if /dev/fd? is mounted anywhere
[02:59] <sini_laptop> I'm helping out a friend that has a laptop with temperature issues - not related to Natty, but is there a way to help him cool down his system, see, CPU temps, fan speeds, etc?
[02:59] <jrib> ActionParsnip: it's always been and is /boot/grub/grub.cfg here
[02:59] <ActionParsnip> sini_laptop: grab some canned air and blow out the fans
[02:59] <escott> !info lm-sensors | sini_laptop
[02:59] <pythonirc1012> anyone using puppet here? or something similar?
[02:59] <mahir256> hemang: you can reformat the ext4 to ntfs. gparted supports that
[02:59] <darkorical> sini_laptop use a box fan as a desk
[02:59] <jrib> maxa_: check /var/log/Xorg.0.log, try stopping gdm, and starting it again (I must go, eyes are refusing to stay open)
[02:59] <ActionParsnip> jrib: oooh my mistake, you are right
[03:00] <escott> sini_laptop, you can control lots of temp related stuff in /sys/power
[03:00] <phoenix_> escott: http://paste.ubuntu.com/605519/
[03:00] <t3k_no_> ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/605518/
[03:01] <sini_laptop> ActionParsnip, escott Darkorial  he did that. It is just a bad design of the laptop. He installed Natty hoping he'd have a little more control. Oh, I saw lmsensors get removed from my upgrade. I wasn't sure if there was a replacement
[03:01] <maxa_> jrib : just quote /var/log/Xorg.0.log not include the "check" right?
[03:01] <mahir256> dcesiel: probably 10.04, but only because it can use more than what's necessary
[03:02] <dcesiel> mahir256: what do you mean mor than what necessary?
[03:02] <mahir256> dcesiel: ideally, since it was made at an earlier time, it was made to work fine on computers of the time
[03:02] <jrib> maxa_: it's just a text file that you should read to look for hints
[03:02] <escott> phoenix_, i think mount was confused because you tried to mount onto a symlink and not a folder. so first ls /media and then pick a name that DOESN'T exist in that folder, then sudo mkdir /media/whatever; sudo mount /dev/fd0 /media/whatever; ls -l /media/whatever
[03:03] <mahir256> dcesiel: now that the kernel has changed (and so has the bulk of packages), the power it consumes may be a bit more
[03:04] <escott> sini_laptop, lm-sensors is in natty i'm not sure why it would be removed during upgrade
[03:04] <maxa_> jrib : its say "command not found"
[03:04] <sini_laptop> escott, I wasn't either. I noticed it was part of the packages to be removed during my desktop upgrade.
[03:04] <jrib> maxa_: you must use a text editor to read it
[03:05] <sini_laptop> escott, I didn't see much to play with in /sys/power, but I've never dabbled in there before either.
[03:05] <t3k_no_> ActionParsnip: not sure if u saw it the first time... but thanks in advance!!! http://paste.ubuntu.com/605518/
[03:06] <sini_laptop> escott, it is possible I saw some extra package based off of lm-sensors being removed. I just remember seeing it scroll by
[03:06] <maxa_> jrib : text editor? i cant go anywhere at my pc, its just black screen and nothing can do except try to type something to solve
[03:06] <escott> sini_laptop, you can echo various values (from a root terminal) into some files in /sys/power to throttle the cpus a bit more conservatively. there are also gui utilities for those but I don't know what the names are
[03:06] <usr13> maxa_: less /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[03:06] <jrib> maxa_: good luck, I'm going to bed now
[03:06] <phoenix_> escott: I did that and it gives total 0  after the ls command, also mount does not show it mounted
[03:07] <usr13> maxa_: cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[03:07] <escott> sini_laptop, you could also try using powertop, its more oriented at battery life but it may help
[03:07] <usr13> maxa_: cat tail -f /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[03:07] <sini_laptop> escott, Thanks, I'll try those suggestions with him. I appreciate the help!
[03:07] <escott> phoenix_, then i have no idea what is going on. mount should give you an error if it fails
[03:08] <escott> phoenix_, are you sure it is fd0?
[03:08] <Sir_Gabriel> I think I have a corrupted install where are the md5 sums, and how do I do check it?
[03:09] <druciferre> Can anyone explain the "guest ok" option for file shares in Samba? (I asked in the #samba channel, but no one seems to be responding)
[03:09] <usr13> escott: What is phoenix trying to mont?
[03:09] <phoenix_> escott:  I used whatever as the name and it showed http://paste.ubuntu.com/605524/
[03:09] <PalinBachman2012> druciferre: i think it means, no user or pass
[03:09] <roadfish> Here's some more info: my hdd-dock works fine with USB but not eSATA ... but that eSATA works fine with my hdd-enclosures.
[03:09] <PalinBachman2012> druciferre: otoh, guest is an actual account sometimes
[03:09] <phoenix_> escott: no clue, how would I find out?
[03:09] <escott> usr13, some floppies apparently.... to be honest I've never mounted floppies on linux
[03:09] <maxa_> usr13 : i just type the less /var/log/Xorg.0.log, its become black and nothing happen
[03:10] <tensorpudding> floppies? that's just archaic
[03:10] <druciferre> PalinBachman2012, I don't think this is the case, because when I connect from a remote machine it still forces me to enter a username and password on the *nix system before it will allow me to browse
[03:10] <itaylor57> tensorpudding: try paper tape LOL
[03:10] <phoenix_> tensorpudding: trying to get personal writing off of them :(
[03:11] <escott> phoenix_, something is really strange about what you are doing. please put the commands in individually. and make sure that mkdir doesn't complain that the folder exists
[03:11] <tensorpudding> paper tape is older, sure, but how many people have actually used a computer with paper tape?
[03:11] <mahir256> PalinBachman2012: i understand that you're trying to help, but change your nick please
[03:11] <usr13> phoenix_: ls /dev/fd0
[03:11] <itaylor57> tensorpudding: I have
[03:11] <escott> phoenix_, also ls -l /dev/fd* to see what the identified floppy devices are
[03:11] <usr13> do you have /dev/fd0
[03:11] <usr13> ?
[03:12] <phoenix_> ok
[03:12] <PalinBachman2012> druciferre: on my sharing options, it says Guest account: allow others to connect with out a pass
[03:12] <tensorpudding> if you have a floppy drive, /dev/fd0 should show up
[03:12] <Sir_Gabriel> Hello?
[03:12] <PalinBachman2012> mahir256: why would I change my nick
[03:12] <usr13> phoenix_: Do you see /dev/fd0?
[03:12] <tensorpudding> !hello | Sir_Gabriel
[03:12] <tensorpudding> oh
[03:12] <tensorpudding> !hi
[03:12] <phoenix_> usr13: yes
[03:12] <tensorpudding> okay, i give up
[03:12] <druciferre> PalinBachman2012, I'm not sure we're talking about the same setting
[03:12] <mahir256> we don't necessarily want our political views to be expressed in our aliases
[03:12] <usr13> phoenix_: ls /mnt/floppy
[03:12] <cryptopsy> mount -t msdos concatenated my file names, why?
[03:12] <maxa_> usr13 : ive try again, and show sooooo many words, something like no layout section, no screen section available
[03:12] <mahir256> especially when this is an independent channel
[03:13] <usr13> phoenix_: Do you have  /mnt/floppy?
[03:13] <druciferre> PalinBachman2012, I think maybe you're looking at "guest only"
[03:13] <cryptopsy> somthing called abcdefgh is not called abcdef~1
[03:13] <cryptopsy> the extnesion was kept
[03:13] <t3k_no_> brb... pls let me know if you have any info...
[03:13] <escott> cryptopsy, because thats what msdos type is
[03:13] <PalinBachman2012> mahir256: if its a violation of the channel tos, written somewhere, i would like to see it
[03:13] <phoenix_> usr13: no
[03:13] <cryptopsy> escott: they weren't concatneated in windowsp
[03:13] <Sir_Gabriel> please help me find the MD5 sums for 10.04 lts alternative cd
[03:13] <usr13> phoenix_: sudo mkdir /mnt/floppy
[03:13] <escott> cryptopsy, just let mount pick the type and don't worry about it
[03:13] <PalinBachman2012> otherwise, i would assume you just dont like palin or backman, or maybe 2012
[03:14] <tensorpudding> 2012 is the day the world's going to end, you know
[03:14] <maxa_> usr13 : what should i do now?
[03:14] <tensorpudding> err, year
[03:14] <phoenix_> usr13: ok, done
[03:14] <escott> cryptopsy, if you dont use -t msdos mount will pick the correct vfat type with extended length file names
[03:14] <cryptopsy> mount doesn't know how to pick the type
[03:14] <cryptopsy> vfat faield
[03:14] <cryptopsy> is this permanent?
[03:14] <cryptopsy> what is the correct vfat type?
[03:14] <usr13> phoenix_: sudo mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
[03:14] <PalinBachman2012> druciferre: im looking at sharing options in nautius, and it says, Guest Access, for users without an account
[03:15] <escott> usr13, phoenix_ stop did you have any errors with the mkdir command
[03:15] <PalinBachman2012> but im probably not helping here
[03:15] <phoenix_> escott: no
[03:15] <druciferre> PalinBachman2012, I'm talking about in the smb.conf file, non-gui, i'm working on Ubuntu Server
[03:16] <usr13> maxa_: cat tail -f /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[03:16] <PalinBachman2012> oh my bad
[03:16] <usr13> phoenix_: sudo mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
[03:16] <escott> usr13, his /mnt/floppy was a symlink to floppy0 earlier (but i didn't want to tell him to delete it just in case it was connected to data somehow)
[03:16] <escott> phoenix_, then continue
[03:16] <phoenix_> usr13: escott : It did not give an error
[03:16] <PalinBachman2012> but it might be an issue with guest being an actual account used by windows sometimes
[03:16] <usr13> phoenix_: ls /mnt/floppy/
[03:16] <PalinBachman2012> used to be a gotcha for me
[03:16] <PalinBachman2012> cant remember how i solved it
[03:17] <phoenix_> nothing
[03:17] <cryptopsy> what is the correct vfat type for mounting fat32 with extended file names?
[03:17] <phoenix_> usr13: nothing
[03:17] <escott> maxa_, just tail -f don't need the cat
[03:17] <escott> cryptopsy, don't specify it, mount should pick the correct type
[03:17] <usr13> phoenix_: Then the floppy is probably an empty one.
[03:17] <usr13> phoenix_: Right?
[03:17] <phoenix_> usr13: the drive spins up, this worked when I had Windows on this, right before I loaded Ubuntu
[03:18] <phoenix_> usr13: disk has data on it, it did before
[03:18] <escott> cryptopsy, if it gave an error during the mount can you pastebin it to us
[03:18] <maxa_> usr13 : its say no screens found
[03:18] <usr13> phoenix_: Is there a properly formatted floppy in there?
[03:18] <Sir_Gabriel> OKay, I'm tired of this. "ubuntu md5 checksums are always on the release page yada yada" NOT ANY MORE!
[03:18] <usr13> maxa_: ls /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[03:19] <usr13> phoenix_: mount
[03:19] <cryptopsy> escott: it doesn't, how many times are we going to go over this?
[03:19] <cryptopsy> escott: it says invalid superblock or something something
[03:19] <cryptopsy> seems to be using the wrong codepage for extended file names
[03:19] <usr13> phoenix_: Does the output of mount show that /dev/fd0 is mounted at /mnt/floppy?
[03:19] <cryptopsy> escott: now my drive isn't even appearing in dmesg, i hate linux when things like this happens
[03:20] <escott> cryptopsy, ok sorry I hadn't realized you had tried before. i think you can specify the codepage in an -o mount option, but i'm not too familiar with the details
[03:20] <maxa_> usr13 : its say no such file or directory
[03:20] <phoenix_> usr13:  no
[03:21] <Khisanth> Sir_Gabriel: http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu-iso/DVDs/ubuntu/10.04/release/MD5SUMS
[03:21] <cryptopsy> escott: will specifying the fat type help? for example, 8, 16, 32 ?
[03:21] <Sir_Gabriel> thank you khisanth
[03:22] <escott> cryptopsy, this may help http://www.osnews.com/story/9681/The_vfat_file_system_and_Linux/page2/
[03:22] <escott> cryptopsy, looks like you can do this:  mount /dev/sda1 /myvfat -t vfat -o shortname=mixed,codepage=850
[03:22] <usr13> phoenix_: sudo mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
[03:22] <usr13> phoenix_: mount      #Does it show now?
[03:23] <usr13> phoenix_: sudo fdisk -l
[03:23] <usr13> phoenix_: ?
[03:23] <cryptopsy> escott: i was just paying with shortname, trying it now
[03:23]  * canthus13 tries the latest svn version of aircrack...
[03:23] <maxa_> usr13 : its happen like 2 day before, when u ask me to type the same text, but when i try today seems not work
[03:24] <phoenix_> usr13:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/605530/
[03:24] <maxa_> usr13 : its show no such file or directory
[03:24] <iwashacked____> When booting my ubuntu machine it says no init found and will not boot how do I fix this?
[03:24] <cryptopsy> escott: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1, missing codepage or helper program, or other
[03:24] <cryptopsy> escott: that was the error
[03:25] <usr13> phoenix_: Are you sure it's plugged in?  (The data cable and the power cable..?)
[03:25] <escott> cryptopsy, i guess one question is... do you have the codepage installed that you need?
[03:25] <phoenix_> usr13: fdisk command does not show fd0
[03:25] <mahir256> iwashacked____: hahahaha jk what did you do?????
[03:25] <cryptopsy> escott: i wasn't aware the user had to set these
[03:25] <mahir256> clearly you did something, iwashacked____
[03:26] <usr13> phoenix_: Ok, that is kinda wierd...
[03:26] <phoenix_> yeah
[03:26] <iwashacked____> mahir256: nothing i rebooted one day and it will not boot and says no init found try passing init= bootarg
[03:26] <escott> cryptopsy, the kernel has a default assumed codepage which is usually the latin codepage. it may or may not be able to detect other codepages, but you can install codepages through apt
[03:26] <phoenix_> usr13: I am going to check the physical connection of the drive jic
[03:27] <maxa_> usr13 : i need you...
[03:27] <escott> cryptopsy, im not the person to ask though, as im pretty much only writing in english
[03:27] <usr13> maxa_: Ok... You need to tell me the situation again.....
[03:27] <cryptopsy> escott: thanks though
[03:27] <cryptopsy> escott: i've got a lead now
[03:27] <usr13> maxa_: I only have a fuzzy recollection as to what you were dealing with.
[03:28] <aranelnatty> upgraded to Natty and now It's stuck on the bootscreen, after "checking battery state [ok]" it just prints infinite number of dots to screen and doesnt start the GUI. Help me please?
[03:28] <maxa_> yesterday ive update some software and today when i open my pc, its bring me directly to terminal log in, i cant go to normal log in desktop
[03:29] <cryptopsy> escott: i have the 437 codepage
[03:29] <usr13> maxa_: startx
[03:29] <r3x> #dclabs
[03:29] <usr13> maxa_: What does that do?
[03:29] <r3x> join
[03:29] <randomusr> Hey all, anyone here run on a macbook pro?
[03:30] <mahir256> both iwashacked____ and aranelnatty: the old microsoft tip---try restarting your computer several times
[03:30] <r3x> join #dclabs
[03:30] <mahir256> randomusr: someone here...i forgot exactly who
[03:30] <phoenix_> usr13: drive is attached tightly and power is running to it, just no clue why it won't mount
[03:30] <maxa_> usr13 : its show soo many text but there "fatal server error : no screen found"
[03:31] <ratcheer> r3x: Put a slash before join...
[03:31] <iwashacked____> mahir256: i guess it is worth a try
[03:31] <escott> phoenix_, so this is a usb floppy drive?
[03:31] <potissimus> Would anyone mind helping w/ a tv tuner setup?
[03:31] <potissimus> dmesg says Ubuntu is trying to load one firmware, but I want it to load another.
[03:31] <phoenix_> escott: nope, it isan internal floppy drive in a dell tower
[03:32] <usr13> phoenix_: You should get some sort of error if when you try to mount, it is not successful.
[03:32] <usr13> phoenix_: Have you checked the cmos settings to see if it is dissabled there?
[03:32] <escott> phoenix_, ok misread... and it is a normal 3.5 inch floppy not an iomega zip drive?
[03:32] <studentz> maxa_ try first  sudo /etc/init.d/gdm  stop
[03:32] <phoenix_> usr13:  not yet
[03:33] <phoenix_> escott: yes normal 3.5 came stock in the tower
[03:33] <usr13> phoenix_: Well, that would be the next thing to check.
[03:33] <usr13> phoenix_: Has it worked before?
[03:33] <cryptopsy> escott: it appears that its expecting codepage cp850 but only 437 is found, but this doesn't explain why it doesn't work when i pass it 437 with the codepage option
[03:33] <matt_o> so on ubuntu lucid, I log in and it says 17 packages can be updated and 12 updates are security updates.  Then I do "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" or "sudo apt-get upgrade" and it says "0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded."  Am I doing something wrong?
[03:33] <phoenix_> usr13: worked right before I switched to ubuntu
[03:33] <usr13> phoenix_: You might just pop the disk out and shouve it in again and then try and mount again.
[03:34] <usr13> phoenix_: sudo mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
[03:34] <mfpockets> matt_o try sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get upgrade
[03:34] <phoenix_> usr13: I have tried several disks, all I know have data on them
[03:34] <ward1234> i think lucid is at the end of its life might wanna check
[03:34] <matt_o> mfpockets, same thing
[03:34] <mahir256> ward1234: no lucid isn't dead...yet
[03:34] <matt_o> lucid is LTS
[03:34] <ActionParsnip> ward1234: lucid is LTS, its supported long after even Natty is EOL
[03:34] <ward1234> thank god for that
[03:35] <tensorpudding> yes
[03:35] <ward1234> ty for the correction
[03:35] <escott> cryptopsy, this is venturing far afield of what i know  about, but there is also an iocharset variable which can go along with the codepage codepage=###,iocharset=cp###
[03:35] <tensorpudding> but by that time, you'll only be able to upgrade to 12.04
[03:35] <maxa_> studentz : its say rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8) utility, eg service gdm stop
[03:35] <mfpockets> matt_o no errors or anything, just 0 upgraded...  did you try to do it from the gui that is telling you there are updates to be had?
[03:35] <tensorpudding> which will have unity
[03:35] <usr13> phoenix_: I would check to make sure it's not dissabled in cmos settings.
[03:35] <tensorpudding> presumably
[03:35] <matt_o> mfpockets, yeah the update-manager says no updates are available too... I have this issue on all of my lucid installs (I have 4 of them)
[03:35] <studentz> maxa_  then sudo gdm stop
[03:36] <phoenix_> usr13:  and escott : Thank you both for your help, I am going to check that but am off for the night
[03:36] <matt_o> I am inclined to think the login report is wrong
[03:36] <mfpockets> matt_o sorry, so where is it telling you there are updates avail?
[03:36] <usr13> studentz: It will probably just start right back up again.
[03:36] <matt_o> mfpockets, when I log in to a bash shell
[03:36] <mattbillenstein_> hi all
[03:36] <usr13> phoenix_: Ok, sorry we couldn't figure it out for you.
[03:36] <mattbillenstein_> having some issues installing from a usb stick
[03:37] <iwashacked____> i think its a bootsector virus
[03:37] <mattbillenstein_> the filesystem is VFAT and that doesn't seem to support symbolic links
[03:37] <studentz> usr13 yep I want that forr now. :)
[03:37] <phoenix_> usr13: no worries, gave me quite solid ground to work from
[03:37] <iwashacked____> i guess rebooting the computer several times is my only option?
[03:37] <cryptopsy> escott: ill keep you updated
[03:37] <mahir256> iwashacked____: eh, it could be. where do you go that such viruses are prevalent?
[03:37] <mfpockets> matt_o that is definitely odd.  not sure why that is happening.
[03:37] <phoenix_> escott:  thank you for your help also
[03:37] <mattbillenstein_> so the installer fails looking for /cdrom/dist/stable/Release
[03:37] <mahir256> iwashacked: do you have clamav in your system?
[03:37] <aranelnatty> here's an easier question: how can I remove NVIDIA drivers? (manually installed from nvidia.com, not the nvidia-current)
[03:38] <maxa_> studentz : its say maximum number of X display ailures reached : check X server log for error
[03:38] <escott> cryptopsy, you may also want to modprobe the appropriate nls modules in /lib/modules-###/kernel/fs/nls
[03:38] <escott> phoenix_, goodluck!
[03:38] <matt_o> here's what it looks like just now: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/605535/
[03:38] <studentz> maxa_ now press ctr  + alt + F8   It will show  ablack screen.
[03:39] <cryptopsy> escott: codepages are for the native language support and appear as 'NLS' in the kernel, so i have to check if that support is there, for example: CONFIG_NLS_CODEPAGE_850, also as an example, 855 is for cyrillic, 861 for icelandic
[03:39] <cryptopsy> 850 is for europe
[03:39] <cryptopsy> my driver wants 850, which is what windows created
[03:39] <maxa_> studentz : nope, nothing effect
[03:39] <maxa_> studentz : usr13 : nothing effect
[03:39] <mfpockets> matt_o definitely weird.  Even if the upgrade failed it doesnt even attempt to do the dist-upgrade (should update you to 10.10
[03:40] <studentz> maxa_ nothing effect meanings a black screen?
[03:40] <cryptopsy> escott: codepage 437 is for united states, canada, which is what i have
[03:40] <matt_o> mfpockets, I don't think it will do dist upgrade unless I change my /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:40] <mfpockets> matt_o Ive never user server version of iso, so maybe this is only on server.
[03:40] <matt_o> I figured tons of people would be having this issue since I'm having it on 4 machines
[03:40] <mfpockets> matt_o  I did some updates a week or so ago on a box I have here, i dont recall adding any sources.
[03:40] <maxa_> studentz : no, its doest bring me to anywhere, its just be at result when u ask to type startx
[03:41] <mfpockets> matt_o are all 4 server installs?
[03:41] <escott> cryptopsy, i would try to modprobe whatever codepages you needed just in case mount isn't able to do the insertion for you
[03:41] <cryptopsy> escott: ive just compied this module, now i have to find out how to modprobe it
[03:41] <matt_o> I don't think so
[03:41] <studentz> do not startx still. Please
[03:41] <matt_o> well... maybe...
[03:41] <cryptopsy> maybe i have to reboot since my NLS is built-in, so if i have to reload NLS, that would be the only way to do it
[03:41] <matt_o> 3 of them are servers
[03:41] <usr13> maxa_: lspci |grep -i vga   #Show us what that says.
[03:42] <iwashacked____> mahir256: mostly just here- freenode
[03:42] <escott> cryptopsy, i think the kernel can have multiple codepages loaded, but im not certain
[03:42] <cryptopsy> escott: my codepage437 was built-in
[03:42] <cryptopsy> i think its called cp850
[03:42] <mfpockets> matt_o  Shouldnt need to add sources for a distro upgrade http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/upgrade
[03:42] <maxa_> how can i type the lpspci / (u means / (slash right? )
[03:43] <cryptopsy> escott: i have to solve why it can't find modules.dep first, will report back
[03:43] <jeffrash> will my GeForce 210 dual monitor setup work in 11.04?
[03:43] <matt_o> mfpockets, thing is..  DOWNLOAD IT YOU BLIND ASSHAT!"
[03:43] <maxa_> user13 : how can i type lspci / (slash its?
[03:43] <matt_o> (since they are servers I don't want to be upgrading them all the time)
[03:43] <tensorpudding> !language | nikotiini
[03:43] <matt_o> nikotiini, whoops! lol
[03:43] <IdleOne> !language | nikotiini
[03:43] <nikotiini> haha
[03:44] <bastidrazor> nikotiini: you sound funny.
[03:44] <tensorpudding> update manager is supposed to say when there's a new version available
[03:44] <studentz> maxa_ try this sudo kill -HUP `ps -ef | grep "X :0"|awk '{print $2}'`
[03:44] <usr13> maxa_: lspci |grep -i vga   #NO slash.  not /   |   Different symbol, the pipe symbol
[03:44] <crash1hd> I am using this in my fstab file sshfs#crash1hd@<IP_ADDRESS>:/home/crash1hd    /media/drive    fuse    port=2200,comment=sshfs,users,exec,uid=1000,gid=1000,allow_other,reconnect,transform_symlinks,BatchMode=yes 0 0 and it works great except for one thing the drive shows up 2 times in the places dropdown (one works, one doesnt) and no its not in the fstab twice any ideas?
[03:44] <mfpockets> matt_o  Ya, im just pointing out that it doesnt even attempt the upgrade.  Lines 84-90 of your pastebin.  it shouldnt say 0 to upgrade since you arent on the newest distro.
[03:44] <xissburg> are there any sort of malware for ubuntu?
[03:44] <ratcheer> tensorpudding: It did for my Maverick
[03:45] <usr13> maxa_: Look at your keyboard, you see the \  and the | on the same key.  Use the Shift key to get  |
[03:45] <cryptopsy> does find / -name somefile open a stream to every file? i.e reading it?
[03:46] <usr13> maxa_: You should show us the log file:
[03:46] <usr13> maxa_:  pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log    #And show us resulting URL
[03:47] <ox> I want to replicate my synaptic pages on another computer. What is the easiest way?
[03:48] <maxa_> usr13 : its show 00:0d.0 VGA compatible controller nVidia Corporation C61  (GForce 6100 nForce 05 (Rev a2)

[03:48] <bastidrazor> ox: synaptic pages? what does that mean?
[03:49] <Xcytre> i installed vino, but can't find it in the ubuntu classic menu
[03:50] <ox> bastidrazor: My apologies. Replicate packages

[03:50] <bastidrazor> !clone | ox
[03:50] <t3k_no> k.. for sum reason i was logged out....

[03:53] <xissburg> how to format my partitions in ubuntu (live cd)? what tool should I use to manage it?
[03:53] <ratcheer> xissburg: gparted should be right on the CD
[03:53] <ActionParsnip> xissburg: gparted
[03:53] <pablo> hay alguien qu hable español??

[03:54] <ratcheer> guise?
[03:54] <acovrig> what would cause Xorg to take all CPU?  Ubuntu 10.10 AMD Athalon, 512MB RAM, SiS graphics
[03:54] <ohelig> guise.
[03:54] <ohelig> 512mb ram isn't a lot...
[03:54] <z3r0n0id> what is Xorg?
[03:55] <maxa_> usr13 : its request me to install pastebinit, but when i install its say some index file failed to download, they have been ignored, or old one instead
[03:55] <acovrig> ohelig: no, and try doing blender on SiS graphics O.o
[03:55] <ratcheer> Xorg is the display server
[03:55] <bin_bash> acovrig: Have you considered a less-intesive distro?
