[10:12] <almoxarife> is apt-get 'purge' a combo of remove and purge confs or do both need to be keyed?
[10:13] <almoxarife> bal: type gksu synaptic
[10:13] <nightshade209> bal: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libcupscgi1
[10:13] <nightshade209> try installing manually?
[10:14] <nightshade209> bal: u havent unchecked anything under Software Sources, have you?
[10:15] <almoxarife> nightshade209: the package exists in repos according to this http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libcupscgi1
[10:15] <bal> is this for me?  "<almoxarife> is apt-get 'purge' a combo of remove and purge confs or do both need to be keyed?"
[10:16] <almoxarife> bal: no
[10:16] <nightshade209> almoxarife: yes, but since his system can't seem to find it
[10:16] <bal> update manager tells an erro"Software index is broken It is impossible to install or remove any software. Please use the package manager "Synaptic" or run "sudo apt-get install -f" in a terminal to fix this issue at first."
[10:17] <Starminn> Ben64, nightshade209, I ran software updates and it fixed it. What broke it was an update from 2 hours ago
[10:17] <nightshade209> bal: try sudo dpkg -a --configure
[10:17] <almoxarife> bal: copy paste this to terminal          sudo apt-get update | pastebinit
[10:17] <Knorre> is it normal for apt-get distr-upgrade to take long?
[10:17] <nightshade209> Starminn: oh ok, glad to know
[10:17] <nightshade209> Knorre: yes, very long
[10:17] <Knorre> i see
[10:18] <Knorre> any estimate on how long exactly?
[10:18] <nightshade209> Knorre: depends on your net speed and what you are upgrading to
[10:18] <Knorre> well all packages downloaded pretty fast, it's the installation process that takes long
[10:18] <nightshade209> Knorre: but i would take a nice long lunch break or something
[10:18] <almoxarife> bal: share the link
[10:18] <nightshade209> Knorre: then about 30 min
[10:18] <nightshade209> Knorre: or max 45
[10:19] <Knorre> oh i guess i'll just clean some stuff up here :)
[10:19] <nightshade209> Knorre:  :)
[10:20] <Knorre> is there any way to get mIRC on ubuntu?
[10:20] <almoxarife> bal: the link?
[10:20] <almoxarife> Knorre: yea, if wine runs it
[10:21] <Knorre> i'll look into that
[10:21] <Knorre> i'm an avid user of its script interface and xchat and konversation don't have that, from what i've seen
[10:22] <afidegnum> hllo, how do I find the default gateway on my PC?
[10:22] <afidegnum> using ubuntu ...
[10:23] <oCean> afidegnum: in terminal, type  ip route
[10:23] <afidegnum> and what does metric stands for
[10:23] <afidegnum> ?
[10:24] <kristian_> hi
[10:24] <almoxarife> afidegnum: in the network applet if you are connected
[10:25] <vivekimsit> what is the easiest way to run my script at particular time every hour..
[10:25] <oCean> !cron | vivekimsit
[10:25] <nightshade209> vivekimsit: configure it in cron
[10:25] <subdesign> thank you all I solved the backup emailing problem.
[10:25] <almoxarife> vivekimsit: or gnome-scheduler, not as sexy as that terminal stuff though
[10:26] <Name141> When is the estimated month for the next ubuntu release? April ?
[10:26] <nightshade209> Name141: yes
[10:26] <vivekimsit> ubottu:ok! I have some problem in cron! the changes are not reflected manually..
[10:26] <SockPants> i'm trying to use grep to search text files for the string: $user['id']
[10:26] <SockPants> so i used grep -R '$user['\''id'\'']' .
[10:27] <Name141> nightshade209: Will it be a LTS or regular?
[10:27] <SockPants> but that doesn't work
[10:27] <SockPants> how can i do this?
[10:27] <almoxarife> how do i detach quassel chat windows?
[10:27] <nightshade209> Name141: i think its an LTS
[10:27] <nightshade209> Name141: checking
[10:28] <xiangzi> how can i package a image file with mkyaffs2image?
[10:28] <nightshade209> Name141: one sec
[10:28] <Azjo> Name141: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases
[10:28] <nightshade209> Name141: yup, LTS
[10:29] <nightshade209>  SockPants: did you mistype the " and '
[10:29] <nightshade209>  SockPants: ?
[10:29] <nightshade209>  SockPants: check your post
[10:29] <almoxarife> does 'grep' have a gui?
[10:30] <Nickinator> nope,
[10:30] <Nickinator> Grep's a simple enough to use command,
[10:30] <Nickinator> and you can pipe it to a text file that I guess you could use in a GUI
[10:31] <Nickinator> Why are you looking for one, is grep too complex or are you looking for something else?
[10:32] <SockPants> nightshade209: when do i need to use " and '?
[10:32] <bal> my system hanged  so need restart
[10:32] <nightshade209> SockPants: you used grep -R '$user['\''id'\'']'
[10:32] <nightshade209> SockPants: the opening and closing ones are not matched

[10:33] <nightshade209> bal: yes?
[10:33] <almoxarife> !info grepui
[10:34] <tiels0> hi guys, i was tried to install oss-v4 on my ubuntu 10.10, and gstreamer-properties don't launching :(
[10:34] <iPeter> need help to start guy from terminal in ubuntu server
[10:35] <bal> what i have to do when you gave me some cmd "sudo -dpkg -a -configure " i din't get becouse of system stucked.
[10:35] <iceroot> iPeter: sudo service gdm start
[10:35] <iceroot> iPeter: or lightdm (depending on your ubuntu-version)
[10:35] <nightshade209> bal: try it now
[10:35] <bal> i think what i typed is error pls give me correct one?
[10:35] <SockPants> nightshade209: i'm not sure what you mean, i only used single quotes
[10:36] <iceroot> bal: its called "sudo dpkg --configure -a"
[10:36] <nightshade209> bal: sudo -dpkg -a --configure
[10:36] <iceroot> nightshade209: not -dpkg
[10:36] <nightshade209> SockPants: oh ok, my bad
[10:36] <Knorre> nightshade209: the upgrading finished, but i still get problems trying to install gnome-shell-extensions-user-theme
[10:36] <Knorre> "The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[10:36] <Knorre>  gnome-shell-extensions-user-theme"
[10:36] <nightshade209> iceroot: bal: sorry
[10:36] <iceroot> nightshade209: np
[10:37] <nightshade209> Knorre: does it give the dependency package?
[10:37] <Knorre> nightshade209: http://pastebin.com/C9fSgi8c
[10:37] <Knorre> this is the full output, although not from my console.
[10:38] <almoxarife> Knorre: from a ppa?
[10:38] <nightshade209> Knorre: sudo apt-get install gnome-shell-extensions-common gnome-shell-extensions-user-theme
[10:38] <bal> y?
[10:38] <Knorre> yes almoxarife i think so
[10:38] <almoxarife> Knorre: that was the cause
[10:39] <nightshade209> Knorre: the ppa might have gotten deselected during the upgrade, check under Software Sources
[10:40] <gringoire> Hey there, quick question - what is the default root pass for the user 'ubuntu'?
[10:40] <Knorre> nightshade209: i re-added the ppas after upgrading
[10:40] <oCean> gringoire: there is none
[10:40] <gringoire> I installed it persistant on a usb,
[10:40] <Knorre> also, your command gave me a different output - let me pastebin it
[10:40] <gringoire> oCean: thanks, let me try
[10:40] <oCean> gringoire: no, the account is not enabled
[10:40] <oCean> !sudo | gringoire
[10:40] <gringoire> oCean: It works, thanks!
[10:40] <gringoire> Hm?
[10:41] <gringoire> I'm talking about the persistant install on usb, I'm logged as 'ubuntu' by default
[10:41] <Knorre> nightshade209: http://pastebin.com/wSVP2vzB
[10:41] <gringoire> Empty password works
[10:41] <iPeter> need help to start guy from terminal in ubuntu server
[10:42] <iPeter> what is the command start doesn't work
[10:43] <[6502]> hello... I'm using gnome and I've this annoying bug: when a program is started from a keyboard shortcut most often (but not always) the windows comes up on top, but without keyboard focus. For example I type ctrl-alt-c to start chrome and when I'm typing in the url right after indeed I'm modifying the text of the text editor behind it. Is there any way to force the focus to get to the program I just launched?
[10:43] <nightshade209> Knorre: umm, sorry, can't think of anything right now
[10:43] <Knorre> np, i'll look further
[10:44] <Knorre> thanks
[10:44] <almoxarife> Knorre: see the conflict between the base system and the ppa? uninstall the conflict app, uncheck the ppa, install the app
[10:45] <almoxarife> Knorre: there may be more conflicts down the road though, cant tell
[10:46] <iceroot> iPeter: i already gave you the command
[10:47] <almoxarife> Knorre: by the way, the gui 'synaptic is an excellent way to see where the conflicts are going to arise, but then its not as sexy as terminal, makes it much easier to disable ppas in a pinch too
[10:48] <afidegnum> hello, I have created a DMZ to my PC, but noting seems working
[10:48] <afidegnum> DoctorD: are you there pls?
[10:49] <almoxarife> afidegnum: what was the dmz suppose to allow to happen that did not?
[10:49] <afidegnum> well, with a new dsl router installed, filezilla is not working
[10:49] <DoctorD> afidegnum: yes
[10:50] <afidegnum> ok, I have added my IP address to DMZ
[10:50] <DoctorD> dmz, alright, you are sure that you pointed correctly ?
[10:50] <afidegnum> and it didn't change anything
[10:50] <afidegnum> yes
[10:50] <DoctorD> give it a restart and then see if it works
[10:50] <DoctorD> restart to the router of course
[10:52] <cakery> best window manager?
[10:52] <MonkeyDust> !best| cakery
[10:53] <matt23> how can i boot verbose instead of with splash at startup? ps, rightn ow it only boots a plain black screen
[10:53] <cakery> what's a usable window manager?
[10:54] <almoxarife> cakery: depends on what you want it for, ease or configuration
[10:54] <cakery> ease
[10:54] <almoxarife> cakery: or bling
[10:55] <Pino> maurizio???
[10:55] <almoxarife> cakery: the default unity on ubuntu is easy
[10:56] <Knorre> almoxarife: different error now, how about this? http://pastebin.com/sc9R1k1u
[10:56] <gringoire> Also, another question - I'm getting "Unable to enumerate usb device on port 2", and I'm almost sure it's my webcam. Ideas on how to make it go away?
[10:56] <gringoire> It fills all tty's, making them unusable, I can't see anything
[10:57] <pascal_> Hi, someone know if Firestarter and dhcp3 no longer work together. i run ubuntu 11.04 server with 2 network interfaces eth0 and eth1
[10:58] <almoxarife> Knorre: same error, what you have there is a cascade effect from the ppa's apps, was this from an upgrade?
[10:58] <Knorre> almoxarife: can be, i just upgraded
[10:58] <Knorre> should i reboot?
[10:58] <almoxarife> Knorre: no!
[10:59] <almoxarife> Knorre: did you install synaptic?
[10:59] <Knorre> why not?
[10:59] <Knorre> no
[10:59] <Knorre> i dont think so
[10:59] <almoxarife> Knorre: because you may return to no screen?
[11:00] <ffk27_> !best
[11:00] <Knorre> okay i feel the need to put this disclaimer out - i started using linux this week, so i don't know anything
[11:00] <Knorre> i don't know what you mean by "no screen"
[11:01] <nightshade209> Knorre: your system might not be very usable if you reboot
[11:01] <Knorre> i see
[11:01] <Knorre> so what can i do to prevent that?
[11:01] <nightshade209> Knorre: don't reboot until you resolve the issue
[11:01] <almoxarife> Knorre: would you install synaptic
[11:01] <Knorre> apt-get install synaptic?
[11:01] <almoxarife> Knorre: sure
[11:01] <ffk27_> Knorre: whats your question?
[11:02] <Knorre> ffk27_: http://pastebin.com/sc9R1k1u
[11:02] <Knorre> isntallign synaptic
[11:02] <ffk27_> knorre: you cant use dpkg now anymore?
[11:03] <Knorre> ..what's dpkg
[11:03] <Knorre> almoxarife: done installing synaptic, what now?
[11:03] <ffk27_> apt-get
[11:03] <almoxarife> Knorre: here is what has to happen, the ppa has to be purged, to purge it unless you want to get all terminal on it you will need Y-ppa-manager
[11:04] <Shakyj> Hey, I am running ubuntu 11.10 with unity and I don't seem to be able to drag and drop :/
[11:04] <nightshade209> almoxarife: how about disabling the PPA and doing and apt-get autoremove?
[11:05] <cakery> almoxarife, thanks :) where can I learn how to use it :(
[11:05] <MonkeyDust> Shakyj  from where to where?
[11:05] <almoxarife> Knorre: got it?
[11:05] <karthick87> Error in puppet client, how to resolve it? err: Could not run Puppet configuration client: Could not retrieve local facts: bad URI(is not URI?): http://<IP_ADDRESS>/2008-02-01/meta-data/<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>HTTP access denied</TITLE></HEAD><BODY><img src/
[11:06] <almoxarife> cakery: :)
[11:06] <MonkeyDust> cakery  you learn it, by using it, like you did for Windows
[11:06] <Shakyj> MonkeyDust, one folder to another or to the desktop
[11:06] <afidegnum> DoctorD: still no show,
[11:06] <Shakyj> MonkeyDust, last one I tried was to drag one file into a folder
[11:06] <afidegnum> despites many configuration attempts, I still cannot get a good result,
[11:06] <DoctorD> afidegnum: ok, did you tried to use virtual server ? to point to your ip address the ports you need ?
[11:07] <Knorre> almoxarife: unable to locate Y-ppa-manager
[11:07] <sveinse> Hi. I'm trying to apt-get into a staging directory. I've used the apt config option RootDir to prefix into the staging. Then I do apt-get update which downloads the indexes to the staging dir, however it fails at the end as it tries to access /var/lib/dpkg/lock without the staging dir prefix. Bug?
[11:07] <afidegnum> ok, let me try that one too and see....
[11:07] <almoxarife> Knorre: need the ppa for it
[11:07] <Knorre> which one is it
[11:07] <DoctorD> disable DMZ and use virtual server. ip: port for each software and see if it works. also, give it a reboot
[11:08] <DoctorD> after you finish.
[11:08] <Knorre> got the ppa, almoxarife
[11:08] <Knorre> :)
[11:08] <almoxarife> Knorre: using synaptic?
[11:08] <nightshade209> sveinse: how about chrooting into it?
[11:08] <pascal_> Hi, someone know if the Firestarter setup guide with dhcp no longer work or if its just here it wont work. I run ubuntu 11.04 server with 2 network interfaces eth0 and eth1
[11:09] <sveinse> nightshade209: I want to avoid root. Perhaps fakeroot chroot apt-get works...
[11:09] <MonkeyDust> Shakyj  just tried, opened two windows, no prob dragging, couldnt say why you cant
[11:10] <Knorre> almoxarife: i'm installing y-ppa-manager now through the terminal
[11:10] <Shakyj> MonkeyDust, Thanks, strange one then. Going to have to test it more when I have some time. I'll stick to the term for now then :)
[11:10] <nightshade209> sveinse: sorry, no experience with a fakeroot :(
[11:11] <sveinse> nightshade209: Hmm. If using chroot, you need to install all tools and libs, like apt-get into the chroot...
[11:11] <nightshade209> sveinse: oh ok..
[11:11] <germanxn> hi
[11:11] <germanxn> i need help
[11:11] <almoxarife> Knorre: you can bring up y-ppa-mamager thru terminal, this is the '0% warranty statement' part , the purge has to happen, and it may fix all your issues, or not, and i cant say otherwise, its an option, please decide
[11:12] <germanxn> my display shows input not supported
[11:12] <matt23> how to get a verbose boot instead of the splash?
[11:12] <Knorre> almoxarife: let's do it - i'm running it all in a VM anyway!
[11:12] <germanxn> this started trying to set resolution at 800x600
[11:13] <almoxarife> Knorre: in the manager you want to purge the ppa that most effects gnome-shell, the one you see listed causing the errors
[11:14] <germanxn> how could i set startup resolution?
[11:14] <almoxarife> Knorre: webupd8~oneiric
[11:14] <ffk27_> rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ to remove a ppa
[11:14] <germanxn> root user log ok
[11:15] <Knorre> almoxarife: how do i bring up the manager?
[11:15] <almoxarife> Knorre: in terminal          y-ppa-manager
[11:15] <Knorre> i launched it through ubuntu's interface.. i feel so stupid :(
[11:16] <almoxarife> Knorre: leave the defaults set
[11:16] <almoxarife> Knorre: i am no purist, i like gui
[11:16] <Knorre> almoxarife: thank god.. my colleague would burn me if he knew, haha.
[11:17] <buzzmandt> Do not fear the terminal
[11:17] <Knorre> i remove a ppa with y, yes?
[11:17] <almoxarife> Knorre: no!
[11:17] <Knorre> then what?
[11:17] <MonkeyDust> <3 terminal
[11:17] <almoxarife> Knorre: not remove, 'purge'
[11:18] <Knorre> ooh
[11:18] <Knorre> hey almoxarife, i see 2 versions of that webupd8 thing
[11:18] <almoxarife> Knorre: if this was about removing we be done long ago
[11:18] <almoxarife> Knorre: one of them is the y-ppa-manager
[11:19] <Knorre> no no i mean the ppa i'm going to purge
[11:19] <Knorre> there's 2 versions
[11:19] <Knorre> one by gnome team
[11:19] <Knorre> one by webupd8 team
[11:19] <almoxarife> Knorre: the web8 is the problem one
[11:20] <Knorre> almoxarife: purging
[11:20] <almoxarife> Knorre: but there should be two ppa from web8, the last one was the ppa-manager
[11:21] <almoxarife> Knorre: after the purge a re-boot might be in order
[11:21] <Knorre> i'll do that now almoxarife, let's hope i still have a machine afterwards haha
[11:21] <MonkeyDust> Knorre  also consider using ubuntu-tweak, to remove ppa's http://ubuntu-tweak.com/
[11:21] <j03> is this the help chan?
[11:21] <buzzmandt> Yes
[11:22] <Knorre> MonkeyDust: thanks for the tip, but y-ppa-manager works fine imo :)
[11:22] <germanxn> where is user dependant X11 resolution saved?
[11:23] <j03> Thanks and giga-props to you all. I purchased Fluendo through the software center ealrier on 11.10 and I just switched to 10.04 and when I search for it it wont show up. Do I need to add a certain software source?
[11:23] <MonkeyDust> j03  it is
[11:23] <j03> Fluendo DVD
[11:24] <Ibis> Is it a little bit bothersome to install Wine on Linux? In my experience, some natural Linux behaviors seems to change.
[11:24] <nightshade209> Ibis: really? like what?
[11:24] <Culiforge> Hi all, so I passed an update and now after wrestling to start the correct kernel with grub (I think that's part of the problem) I am unable to access any admin functions.. (sudo.. apt.. sources.. etc)
[11:25] <Ibis> nightshade209: Like "Open with".
[11:25] <throstur> I just make modules while trying to install a newer kernel on my machine, but now the screen is black!
[11:25] <MonkeyDust> Ibis  yes, i don't use wine, but some people see changes in their Firefox after wine is intalled
[11:25] <j03> Also, do I need to do anything special to re-install it as far as the license goes?
[11:25] <almoxarife> Ibis: the install is easy enough, removal as easy
[11:25] <MonkeyDust> Ibis  (just an example)
[11:25] <buzzmandt> Ibis. I recomend playonlinux. www.playonlinux.com. download the latest deb and install it. It is better than the one n the repos
[11:25] <nightshade209>  Ibis: that's just the associations...  you learn to ignore it..
[11:25] <Ibis> It's kinda weird. Tolerable, but
[11:25] <nightshade209>  Ibis: ya, true..
[11:26] <germanxn> is something wrong with my questions? :-(
[11:26] <Knorre> almoxarife: my machine is still alive :D ill try installing user-theme agian
[11:26] <nightshade209> germanxn: no, it's not... it's just that no one might know the answers
[11:27] <j03> I looked and didn't see any particular software source that wasn't already selected in 10.04
[11:27] <almoxarife> Knorre: anyone can add crap to a ppa it seems
[11:27] <MonkeyDust> Knorre  almoxarife that's why i don't use ppa's :)
[11:27] <nightshade209> MonkeyDust: ya, but there's some really good stuff that's not in the repos
[11:28] <Knorre> almoxarife: still the same error... i should just purge everything lol
[11:28] <nightshade209> MonkeyDust: like ubuntu tweak for one
[11:28] <MonkeyDust> nightshade209  got me there :)
[11:28] <domedagen> Anyone in here knows the answer to this thread? http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/cant-boot-from-same-the-device-that-ubuntu-is-installed-on-922276/
[11:28] <nightshade209> MonkeyDust: i wouldn't install it too, but the repos are updated too slowly, esp for browsers and stuff
[11:28] <almoxarife> Knorre: pastebin it
[11:28] <nightshade209> MonkeyDust: i HAVE to use the latest version :P
[11:29] <MonkeyDust> nightshade209  i used a daily build for Firefox, once, and it ruined my system, now ubuntu-tweak is the only ppa I trust
[11:29] <Knorre> almoxarife: you are not going to believe this
[11:29] <Knorre> i actually installed 3 versions
[11:30] <Knorre> of the same PPA
[11:30] <afidegnum> DoctorD: I did everything, still not working, Connection timed outError:	Could not connect to server
[11:30]  * Knorre cries silently in a corner
[11:30] <nightshade209> MonkeyDust: afraid i still havent learnt the lesson... tho i just download firefox manually
[11:30] <j03> domedagen you might need to install grub on the SSD or even boot into Super-Grub Disk and then do "Update-grub" maybe?
[11:30] <almoxarife> Knorre: sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[11:31] <Ibis> buzzmandt: Lol, too late, I installed Wine first, but now I'm installing PlayonLinux.
[11:31] <Knorre> almoxarife: it's still http://pastebin.com/sc9R1k1u
[11:31] <Knorre> :)
[11:31] <Ibis> Thanks guys.           Playonlinux looks cleaner.
[11:31] <almoxarife> Knorre: sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[11:32] <j03> can anyone help me. I just need to know what software source to add so I can reinstall Fluendo DVD, plz :)
[11:32] <Ibis> germanxn: Ask a better question.
[11:32] <domedagen> j03: What do you mean install GRUB?
[11:32] <Ibis> Or it could be that no one has the answer to it at this moment.
[11:32] <almoxarife> Knorre: paste and run         sudo apt-get update | pastebinit
[11:32] <MonkeyDust> !info fluendo | j03
[11:33] <almoxarife> Knorre: then share the link
[11:33] <j03> can I add it?
[11:33] <j03> somehow
[11:33] <germanxn> for some reason, "input not supported" appears when i use 800x600 resolution
[11:33] <MonkeyDust> j03  if it is not in the repos, it is not supported on the channel
[11:33] <Meltinpot> hi men!
[11:34] <j03> oh, sorry
[11:34] <buzzmandt> Ibis. Thats fine i usually do wone first.  Playonlinux is getting really good lately though.
[11:34] <almoxarife> germanxn: your monitor cant use that resolution, that is the error anyway
[11:35] <buzzmandt> Wine i mean lol
[11:35] <germanxn> getting around that, my user end up with 800x600, so my display shows "input no supported"
[11:35] <j03> domedagen I mean maybe installing GRUB on the SSD instead of the HDD
[11:35] <germanxn> i know my monitor support that resolution
[11:35] <germanxn> i used it many times
[11:35] <nightshade209> germanxn: it might support on the desktop, but when booting up, the system usually uses a lower resolution
[11:36] <germanxn> the problem is in the desktop
[11:36] <germanxn> it boot up with 1280x1024
[11:36] <j03> just one more question. If I'm back in 11.10 and I need to re-install Fluendo through the software center where I got it is it just a matter of logging in and then it will be avaialble?
[11:36] <germanxn> (login screen)
[11:36] <nightshade209> germanxn: :| oh
[11:37] <linux> hello!
[11:37] <txomon> hi!, when computer autologins, is it supposed to run all that appears in /etc/xdg/autostart ?

[11:38] <linux> is here a chinese ?
[11:38] <oCean> !cn | linux
[11:38] <j03> I mean I purchased it through software center in 11.10 so when I switch to a new 11.10 install do I just go to software center and login or something and then install again?
[11:38] <buzzmandt> Little buttons on my droid grrr
[11:38] <navis> hi all
[11:38] <linux> hi all
[11:39] <navis> I have a problem to enable wifi on an hp g7 laptop
[11:39] <buzzmandt> Navis. What is the wifi card?
[11:39] <nightshade209> j03: ya, u'll need to use the same login
[11:39] <navis> I think that the problem is in the hardware wifi switch, which is on the F12 function key
[11:40] <linux> heheheheh
[11:40] <linux> do you konw what is "heheheheh"?
[11:40] <navis> supposedly enabled with Fn-F12
[11:40] <oCean> linux: do you have an ubuntu support question?
[11:40] <j03> Great! Thanks! :)
[11:40] <linux> yes
[11:40] <germanxn> http://paste.ubuntu.com/794758/
[11:40] <navis> but this produces output on my terminal instead of enabling the wifi
[11:40] <nightshade209> j03: :)
[11:40] <buzzmandt> Navis. Whats the card?
[11:41] <linux> but my  english is so bad
[11:41] <navis> atheros
[11:41] <oCean> linux: /join #ubuntu-cn for chinese
[11:41] <j03> I just purchased a System76.com lappy and can't wait for the unbox!!!
[11:41] <linux> i want study english
[11:41] <navis> buzzmandt: atheros, managet through ath9k
[11:41] <MonkeyDust> linux  wrong channel
[11:41] <oCean> linux: this channel is for support, not general chat
[11:41] <linux> do you know where i should go
[11:41] <navis> buzzmandt: hem, managed
[11:41] <j03> Up to 32GBs of RAM on a laptop!
[11:41] <j03> ok I'm done :)
[11:42] <linux> hao to change channel
[11:42] <j03> lol
[11:42] <oCean> linux: try /join ##English
[11:42] <buzzmandt> Not sure. It should just work.
[11:43] <linux> oh think you!
[11:43] <j03> So awesome! http://www.system76.com/laptops/model/bonobo
[11:44] <j03> :)
[11:44] <almoxarife> germanxn: nvidia user settings configured?
[11:44] <afidegnum> DoctorD: is there a way to browse via different IP address or via VPN?
[11:44] <navis> yep, lshw recognises it, but disabled
[11:44] <oCean> j03: please use #ubuntu-offtopic for general chat
[11:44] <afidegnum> I I am still trying to trace the issue
[11:44] <j03> ok, :)
[11:44] <j03> Thanks peeps!
[11:45] <navis> and rfkill shows it as hardware disabled, so I can't enable it in software
[11:45] <almoxarife> afidegnum: you behind a firewall you dont control? try tor-browser
[11:45] <navis> for some reason the Fn-F12 combination seems to be intercepted by ubuntu
[11:45] <buzzmandt> Navis what does lspci show it as?
[11:45] <afidegnum> no, using ftp
[11:46] <afidegnum> my browser is perfectly working
[11:46] <afidegnum> only the ftp is not working
[11:47] <almoxarife> afidegnum: not working how?
[11:47] <navis> buzzmandt: AR9485 Wireless Network Adapter (rev ff)

[11:47] <afidegnum> this is a network of 15 computers with wireless connectivity as well
[11:47] <afidegnum> this morning,  a new moded was added,
[11:48] <afidegnum> from there, I can't use filezilla
[11:48] <almoxarife> afidegnum: filezilla as a client?
[11:48] <afidegnum> I tried all possible means, from DMZ to fort forwarding
[11:48] <dvorak_> Hi there! Can someone tell me please how do I display on the console the value returned by a function? Specifically, "test -n $a" ?
[11:48] <afidegnum> and no luch
[11:48] <almoxarife> afidegnum: filezilla as a client?
[11:48] <navis> buzzmandt: ids 168c:0032
[11:48] <germanxn> i think it is. i started "nvidia  X server settings", detect displays and save to x configuration file
[11:48] <afidegnum> yes, I am using filezilla client
[11:49] <almoxarife> afidegnum: to acess what host? inside or outside your net?
[11:49] <buzzmandt> Navis have a look here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1682285
[11:49] <germanxn> when i login with root user on gnome it start with 1280x1024
[11:49] <afidegnum> almoxarife: I am trying to access an FTP server wher I am developing a website
[11:49] <throstur> how do i update kernel?
[11:49] <afidegnum> a host outside our network
[11:49] <almoxarife> afidegnum: can you ping that host?
[11:50] <iceroot> throstur: update or upgrade?
[11:50] <MonkeyDust> throstur  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Upgrade?action=show&redirect=UpgradeKernel
[11:50] <afidegnum> when pinged, the host is working

[11:51] <afidegnum> taht is the error I am getting from filezilla
[11:51] <afidegnum> I tried other servers as well,
[11:51] <throstur> thanks
[11:51] <almoxarife> afidegnum: is the host a web adress or ip?
[11:51] <afidegnum> the same result appears
[11:51] <iceroot> afidegnum: is ftp/sftp running on the other site?
[11:51] <throstur> compiling it myself is stupid
[11:51] <germanxn> its this or nothing.. :-(
[11:51] <germanxn> i tryed to repair it my self
[11:51] <germanxn> but i cant
[11:52] <iceroot> throstur: why do you need a kernel-upgrade?
[11:52] <afidegnum> yes, I have been using it not to day
[11:52] <almoxarife> iceroot: thats a good question :)
[11:52] <afidegnum> just this morning, everyghing is messing up
[11:52] <pascal_> Hi, someone know if the Firestarter setup guide with dhcp no longer work or if its just here it wont work. I run ubuntu 11.04 server with 2 network interfaces eth0 and eth1
[11:52] <akpk> I have issue with Bluetooth in my Ubuntu 11.10 (Bluetooth 3.0)
[11:52] <throstur> my driver is incompatible with this version
[11:52] <akpk> Please Help!
[11:52] <throstur> I have very new hardware
[11:52] <iceroot> !details | akpk
[11:52] <almoxarife> afidegnum: what is the firewall set to as far as 'allowed out' permissions?
[11:53] <iceroot> !backports | throstur
[11:53] <akpk>  I have issue with Bluetooth in my Ubuntu 11.10 (Bluetooth 3.0) Please Help !!
[11:53] <iceroot> almoxarife: again, please post usefull details
[11:53] <iceroot> almoxarife: wrong nick
[11:53] <iceroot> akpk: please post usefull details
[11:54] <nightshade209> akpk: describe the problem
[11:54] <akpk> icerrot : I can't enable Bluetooth
[11:54] <iceroot> akpk: why?
[11:54] <almoxarife> iceroot: it was a statement, no it was meant for you, and yes, it was a useless comment, you wont see one from me again
[11:54] <iceroot> akpk: you dont know how? the device is not detected?
[11:54] <throstur> ubottu: I don't think ubuntu would make a build specifically for what I'm doing
[11:54] <iceroot> almoxarife: no i just put the wrong nick in front of my text
[11:55] <iceroot> throstur: depending on the problem
[11:55] <germanxn> no one where the user resolution comes from??
[11:55] <iceroot> throstur: if it will affect others to, there is a chance
[11:55] <germanxn> no one knows where the user resolution comes from??
[11:55] <iceroot> germanxn: dont!! use gnome as root
[11:55] <iceroot> germanxn: no need to debug that
[11:55] <akpk> I can right click on bluetooth ch devices.con (near time ans sound) but i cant se
[11:56] <akpk> iceroot : How can I check the issue ??
[11:56] <germanxn> if dont use gnome as root then i have to turn off the computer
[11:56] <germanxn> i cant log with regular user!
[11:56] <nightshade209> germanxn: this helps? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/Resolution
[11:56] <iceroot> !who | germanxn
[11:56] <throstur> well if you must know I'm doing penetration testing on my network and my laptop needs the b43 driver - however my chipset is not compatible with backtrack's kernel and the one in ubuntu is outdated
[11:56] <iceroot> germanxn: is another user able to login?
[11:56] <almoxarife> germanxn: it comes from the settings of that nvidia card configuration app, look in 'system preferences'??
 : My bluetooth is not detected/
[11:57] <iceroot> throstur: which ubuntu-version?
[11:57] <throstur> the latest one that comes with wubi
[11:57] <iceroot> throstur: that means 11.10?
[11:57] <throstur> yes
[11:57] <peto_> hello
[11:57] <iceroot> !info linux-iamge
[11:57] <Knorre> almoxarife: can i message you?
[11:58] <iceroot> !info linux-image
[11:58] <almoxarife> Knorre: wait one
[11:58] <iceroot> throstur: so you want 3.1 or 3.2 i guess
[11:58] <throstur> yes
[11:58] <iceroot> throstur: please put the name in front of a text
[11:58] <throstur> iceroot: ok
[11:58] <iceroot> throstur: 3.2 is build in 12.04
[11:58] <iceroot> throstur: but i dont think there is a driver for bc43 included
[11:58] <germanxn> ubottu: ok, sorry
[11:58] <almoxarife> Knorre: i just started using this client, i dont know how to allow pvt, try
[11:58] <akpk> iceroot : is therte anything wrong with bluetooth 3.0 and ubuntu 11.10 ???
[11:59] <iceroot> !broadcom | germanxn
[11:59] <iceroot> akpk: not that i know
[11:59] <iceroot> throstur: normally you dont need 3.2 for that
[11:59] <iceroot> throstur: bc43 devices has nonfree-firmware and cant be included into the kernel (see message from ubottu how to fix that)
[11:59] <throstur> http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#Supported_devices I'm using BCM43225
[12:00] <broglin> I am having trouble getting my netbook to connect reliably to a wifi network (Samsung N150P/ubuntu 11.10). How do I troubleshoot that?
[12:00] <iceroot> throstur: the firmware is the problem, not the driver
[12:00] <broglin> I'm using xfce
 :  is therte anything wrong with bluetooth 3.0 and ubuntu 11.10 ???
[12:00] <throstur> iceroot: right, so I need to update the kernel and download new firmware, is that correct?
[12:01] <throstur> ie get the newer ubuntu
[12:01] <peto_> i7 Sandy Bridge processor consumes more than twice the power in Ubuntu than in Windows 7 --> 41 W vs. 20 W. Why?
[12:01] <iceroot> throstur: no need for a newer kernel
[12:01] <nightshade209> akpk: sorry, no idea... i don't use bluetooth on it...
[12:01] <iceroot> throstur: and normally ubuntu will over the specific firmware-download
[12:01] <broglin> the card is a BCM4313
[12:01] <akpk> :-)
[12:01] <iceroot> peto_: because your mainboard-manufactor is not using standards
[12:02] <iceroot> peto_: so the kernel-hackers deactivated some features which are not standard
[12:02] <akpk> Anyone know why my bluetooth 3.o (onboard) is not working with Ubuntu 11.10 ??
[12:02] <iceroot> peto_: imo fixed in linux3.2
[12:02] <throstur> broglin: if you're talking to me, I have 4357 not 4313
[12:02] <peto_> iceroot, the computer is a DELL
[12:02] <iceroot> peto_: and?
[12:02] <broglin> throstur: no, I have trouble with my card, and it's a 4313 :-(
[12:02] <broglin> but nobody has replied yet... :'(
[12:02] <throstur> oh okay, it's probably not supported
[12:02] <MonkeyDust> !bcm| broglin
[12:02] <throstur> http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#Supported_devices
[12:02] <throstur> broglin: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#Supported_devices
[12:03] <peto_> iceroot, the fact is I don't like Windows 7 as much as Ubuntu, but if Ubuntu consumes twice the power then I prefer to use Windows 7
[12:03] <throstur> iceroot: the b43 list of supported devices states that kernel 3.1+ is necessary but ubuntu 11.10 uses a slightly older kernel - how come I don't need to get a new kernel?
[12:04] <craigbass1976> I installed openbravo a couple days ago from the repos.  Is there a way I can go look and see what was installed when openbravo was?  Some packages I already had, but I want to see what I didn't already have.
[12:04] <throstur> peto_: I have noticed that my 7-9 hour battery lasts about 3 hours with ubuntu, it's a damn shame
[12:04] <kanupatar> hi guys, this is my out put of ps -ax..can u help me to find any GUI related(X server or similar) process from it ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/794780/
[12:05] <broglin> throstur: thanks. but I'm actually using the brcmsmac driver, not b43
[12:05] <peto_> throstur, that is what happen to me, perhaps because Ubuntu does not manage Turbo Boost, or perhaps because Ubuntu doesn't use the integrate graphics card
[12:06] <broglin> also, the wifi card can see the access points, but the problem is that networking either doesn't work (no internet, telnet to open ports on remote servers just hang) or works very intermittently
[12:06] <broglin> and frequently disconnects
[12:06] <iceroot> throstur: ah 3.1, ok
[12:06] <throstur> peto_: maybe it's because when I run windows I usually just have chrome and one IDE open but when I run ubuntu I have a lot of stuff happening
[12:06] <iceroot> throstur: have a look at the backports if 3.1 or 3.2 is there
[12:06] <throstur> !backports
[12:07] <afidegnum> hello, I have been trying hard, and no success, any answer so far?
[12:07] <broglin> can anyone help? I don't even know if this is a hardware/driver issue or if network manager is doing something funky
[12:08] <peto_> throstur, that's not my case... The 20 W vs 42 W happens in the more common state of my computer, that is, when it is under a low state of activity
[12:08] <kanupatar> hi guys, this is my out put of ps -ax..can u help me to find any GUI related(X server or similar) process from it ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/794780/
[12:09] <dannel> kanupatar, no
[12:09] <afidegnum> almoxarife: the firewall was disabled by default
[12:10] <throstur> when will ubuntu 12.10 be released?
[12:10] <nightshade209> throstur: this october
[12:10] <dannel> throstur, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_%28operating_system%29#Releases
[12:10] <fidel> throstur: the versioning should tell it already ;)
[12:10] <fidel> year 12 - month 10
[12:10] <fidel> means: somewhere in 2012.10.xx
[12:10] <peto_> let's hope
[12:11] <dannel> so ubuntu never delays a release?
[12:11] <dannel> now it all makes sense!
[12:11] <MonkeyDust> throstur  oct 18 2012
[12:11] <dannel> canonical, even
[12:11] <throstur> my bad, it's 12.04
[12:12] <fidel> 2012.04.xx then ;)
[12:12] <throstur> is it normal for the update manager to hand on "Waiting for apt-get to exit" ?
[12:12] <MonkeyDust> apr 26 2012
[12:12] <almoxarife> afidegnum: thats odd then, because out to where you have been in the past is where you cant go now, can you verify the firewall is allowing out?
[12:12] <fidel> throstur: yes thats some kind of auto-lock
[12:12] <fidel> you cant run multiple apt-processes at once
[12:12] <MonkeyDust> throstur  yes, you cannot run two update managers
[12:12] <throstur> but I'm not running any others
[12:12] <dannel> the update manager is just a façade to apt-get
[12:13] <fidel> throstur: most likely you are - use grep to check it ;)
[12:13] <throstur> I'll just restart
[12:13] <fidel> lol
[12:13] <dannel> -.-
[12:13] <fidel> that doesnt help learning/understanding that part but ok
[12:14] <dannel> why learn to use the power button, just buy a new computer !:P
[12:14] <DaDink> @throstur, you are talking like a Windows user, now. ;-)
[12:14] <throstur> was compining a kernel earlier so if apt-get is still running then it's probably still doing stuff I don't like
[12:14] <fidel> DaDink: and you like a fanboy from the other side ;)
[12:14] <throstur> DaDink: well, I primarily am, we don't use linux in our university
[12:16] <akpk> Bluetooth is not working in my Ubuntu 11.10
[12:16] <throstur> DaDink: if it's any consolation, I use a dvorak for typing
[12:16] <dannel> that's a shame :-\

[12:31] <dyd__> i have my xp machine connected to the wifi, i've shared that connection, my ubuntu laptop is connected via ethernet directly to the win machiine (inverted cable) and i've set ip adresses correctly (i can ping each other) and on ubuntu machine gateway is win's ip and dns also. It's not working, what am i doing wrong?
[12:34] <loganRun> I am trying to install the latest daily build for chromium. I added the repositories and did apt-get update, but I can't seem to install the latest daily build. is there a way to list all versions of a program or something. I think apt-get install is just using some other repository with an older version
[12:35] <fidel> loganRun: apt-cache policy PACKAGENAME might help
[12:35] <godos> i have an overscan problem to my tv out
[12:35] <godos> hdmi
[12:36] <godos> how can i fix it???
[12:36] <godos> ati 5450
[12:36] <godos> i have a clone monitor with my tv
[12:36] <godos> same resolution but my tv is cutting the picture from the sides
[12:37] <loganRun> fidel: that seems to just show the wrong archive
[12:37] <iceroot> loganRun: apt-cache policy packagename
[12:38] <iceroot> loganRun: then your daily-build has another name, use "apt-cache search foobar" to find out the correct name
[12:38] <godos> anybody help me?
[12:38] <godos> :)
[12:39] <godos> i have the same problem on all distros
[12:39] <godos> i have tried
[12:40] <throstur2> !backports
[12:41] <godos> anybody?
[12:41] <throstur2> !packaging
[12:41] <throstur2> !backport
[12:42] <godos> anybody?????????????
[12:42] <fidel> loganRun: yes that command is supposed to show you which versions apt knowns based on your sources
[12:43] <godos> how can i fix overscan problem? hdmi out to panasonic 42'' tv
[12:43] <fidel> havent you asked for a list output?
[12:43] <godos> ok bye ubuntu
[12:43] <godos> :P
[12:45] <loganRun> got it, I add to do add-apt-repository ppa:chromium-daily, not sure how that is different than adding the respsitories to the file manually
[12:46] <Olafur> good day, is this where i can get some help with ubuntu?
[12:46] <fidel> Olafur: yes
[12:47] <Olafur> ok, I am having problem with the sound, I just dont seem to be able to get any sound from my speakers
[12:47] <Incarus6> Hello, I've tried to enhance my boot splash a little and I thought I had tomake these settings in Pkymouth, but nothing changed and now I'm confused with Plymouth, usplash and grub2. Am I wrong? (using 11.10)
[12:48] <nightshade209> Olafur: can you give your hardware descriptions and ubuntu version?
[12:48] <loganRun> not sure what add-apt-repository does differently than editing /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:48] <throstur2> !kernel
[12:48] <nightshade209> loganRun: maybe importing the GPG key or something?
[12:48] <fidel> loganRun: maybe adding ppa-keys
[12:48] <loganRun> that could be
[12:49] <Olafur> nightshade209: Hardware is nVidia, and ubuntu 11.10
[12:49] <Culiforge> 10.04, I keep getting update errors returned. synaptic trying to install (or fix) sane-utils and pcmciautils
[12:49] <throstur2> how can I install a newer kernel without a full compile?
[12:49] <nightshade209> Olafur: ok, i don't have any experience with nVidia, but someone else might..
[12:49] <nightshade209> Olafur: hang around for a bit
[12:50] <Olafur> nightshade209: Im mot in a hurry :)
[12:50] <nightshade209> Olafur: :)
[12:51] <Culiforge> http://paste.ubuntu.com/794825/
[12:51] <Olafur> nightshade209: I used this command in terminal "sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r` linux-generic" and it seems like it cant lock on something
[12:52] <bosyi> hi all. have anybody connect external monitor (1920+1080)  to netbook with intel gma 3150?
[12:52] <throstur2> how can I install a newer kernel without a full compile?
[12:52] <hilarie_> bleh, who knows stuff about time.. root@hilarie:~# ntpdate ntp.ubuntu.com///// 6 Jan 19:50:06 ntpdate[29831]: step-systime: Operation not permitted
[12:53] <Mechdave> Olafur, make sure there are no updates or software installer  running
[12:53] <nightshade209> Olafur: i can't find anything called linux-restricted-modules-* on my system
[12:53] <mediajunkie> G'Day Gentlemen and Ladies.
[12:53] <mediajunkie> anybody had google address book not showing contacts in evolution with Onerric 11.10?
[12:54] <mediajunkie> It worked for some time and then they were gone.
[12:54] <robin0800> nightshade209, its extras not module
[12:54] <mediajunkie> This switch to 11.10 has been crazy, nothing but trouble
[12:55] <nightshade209> robin0800: sorry, sorry, getting sleepy i guess :(
[12:55] <Rookie407> hello all... im new to ubuntu and linux for that matter any good tips and pointers i should know about?
[12:55] <Olafur> Mechdave: no updates running or installs, just my web browser
[12:55] <Olafur> nightshade209: Well, I found a site on the web which recommended this action
[12:55] <fidel> Rookie407: regarding?
[12:55] <Rookie407> haha anything that would help me not feel like such a noob =P
[12:56] <Mechdave> Olafur, not even background?
[12:56] <DJones> !manual | Rookie407 This is a good starting point,
[12:56] <nightshade209> Rookie407: the best advice would be to use it
[12:57] <fidel> Rookie407: difficult to answer- personaly i would setup a linux-vm to play with it
[12:57] <iceroot> Rookie407: i guess one very important point is the way how software is installed in ubuntu
[12:57] <iceroot> !repos | Rookie407
[12:57] <iceroot> Rookie407: the first link from ubottu should be read
[12:58] <Rookie407> iceroot, that would be really good to know as it seems its much diff then windows
[12:58] <iceroot> Rookie407: it does
[12:58] <iceroot> Rookie407: but i a good way
[12:58] <Olafur> Mechdave: not so i know, I am not installing anything now and I already have updated the computer
[12:58] <fidel> Rookie407: it is - but worth getting used to it
[12:58] <fidel> but yeah the learning curve might look hard at the beginning
[12:58] <fidel> as with everything new & complex as an operating system ;)
[12:59] <Rookie407> deff i've been a windows user for well pretty much all my life since win 3.0 im ready to learn something new =)
[12:59] <iceroot> Rookie407: also very important to know is that ubuntu is not just a linux distribution, its a very big community with good forums, wikis, this chat and very nice and friendly people.
[12:59] <pksadiq> dragonslay: C-c C-b is the switch for erc
[13:00] <Incarus6> For anyone who is still interested in the solution: got it working now using http://paolobernardi.wordpress.com/2011/10/15/fix-plymouth-on-ubuntu-after-installing-nvidia-or-ati-proprietary-drivers-for-ubuntu-11-10-oneiric/
[13:00] <iceroot> Rookie407: if you have any questions about ubuntu feel free to ask here and dont be afraid to ask even "noob" questions
[13:00] <klaas> could it be that fdisk is screwing up partition tables on 2tb discs? using ubuntu lts
[13:00] <Rookie407> haha never afraid to ask the "noob" questions everyones a noob at one point =P
[13:00] <usr13> Rookie407: You're definately in the righjt place.  Linux and oss is a big world of learning experiences, and the learning curve is very steep.
[13:00] <iceroot> Rookie407: of cours
[13:01] <iceroot> usr13: but its not learning because you have to learn a lot but because you CAN learn a lot
[13:01] <fidel> Rookie407: in case you tend to test much & heavily - i would still consider a virtual playground (as in using a virtuel machine) as it might help learning without beeing afraid of wrecking your current os ;)
[13:02] <craigbass1976> Rookie407, wow, you must be as old as me.  3.0 ?
[13:02] <fidel> but i am a vm lover ;)
[13:02] <throstur2> iceroot: i was updated everything and asked the update manager for backports, but I'm still using the same kernel... do I have to compile it?
[13:02] <Culiforge> Rookie407: there's also #ubuntu-beginners. kinda quiet atm but nice peoples there as well
[13:02] <iceroot> throstur2: no need to compile the kernel
[13:02] <iceroot> !ppa | throstur2
[13:02] <usr13> iceroot: When  a MS user first gets into any Linux distro, he or her embarks on a pretty rich learning experience ... you have to admit.
[13:02] <Rookie407> so lets start with installing. lets say for the sake of android development how do i go about installing the java and android-sdk tools things like that?
[13:03] <usr13> *he or she  sorry....
[13:03] <iceroot> usr13: the same if you came from gnu/linux to windows
[13:03] <nightshade209> craigbass1976: Rookie407: you people are making me feel like a kid! :| win 3.0 is ANCIENT for me...
[13:03] <iceroot> usr13: so the learning is not because of ubuntu is hard
[13:03] <Incarus6> throstur2, which version are you planning to use?
[13:03] <iceroot> usr13: but because its different
[13:03] <Olafur> nightshade209: Any thoughts what is the problem?
[13:03] <Rookie407> craigbass1976, idk about old im only 25 but we was a poor fam when i was younger so when the world was on win 95 we were just geting 3.1
[13:03] <craigbass1976> nightshade209, dude, that was high falootin' back in the day.  I bet you never played Atari either....
[13:03] <usr13> iceroot: True
[13:04] <mediajunkie> Rookie407: I've worked with win... since its conception. ... all the way up to Vista., That took 1 day to get disgusted and made me switch to Linux in general for my desktop (Ubuntu is by far the most interesting community of all) I have never looked back since. but you will have to cut one day fully instead of going back and forth. Only then you will force yourself to learn the details of Linux in general to the point where you underst
[13:04] <mediajunkie> and its dynamics. It is worth doing.
[13:04] <craigbass1976> Rookie407, I installed it at the house (the android sdk) but it was a while ago.  I don't remember it being too much of a ruckus, but I've been at this a while now.
[13:04] <nightshade209> Olafur: not really, can't get lock seems to indicate more than one apt-get process... can't tell you beyond that
[13:05] <usr13> mediajunkie is correct, you have to use it to learn it.
[13:05] <nightshade209> craigbass1976: i have never even SEEN an Atari except in photos
[13:05] <iceroot> Rookie407: as you see, everyone is trying to help you and give suggestins, that is the spirit of ubuntu you will not find in any other linux-distro or on windows .)
[13:05] <Rookie407> =)
[13:05] <Olafur> nightshade209: oh well, thanks any way, ill keep google-ing the problem
[13:05] <biginttosh> iceroot, indeed
[13:05] <Rookie407> you deff dont find it on windows
[13:05] <nightshade209> Olafur: ok...
[13:05] <Culiforge> nightshade209: gosh, I feel kinda ancient then... I cut on dos 3.0
[13:06] <craigbass1976> Rookie407, which version of Ubuntu have you got?  Like I said, I've been with Linux a while now, but it took a while for me to get used to GNOME 3.  I've not used Unity yet (ran into GNOME3 in Fedora) but hear that it's similar.
[13:06] <craigbass1976> nightshade209, install stella.  Get a couple usb joysticks and play Combat.
[13:06] <Rookie407> Culiforge, i used dos along side win 3.0, 3.1 so dont feel too old =P
[13:06] <nightshade209> Culiforge: *shudder* DOS is just a nightmare i remember from school, when i was forced to learn it as part of my syllabus
[13:07] <usr13> iceroot: I wouldn't say that.  Our IRC channel is biggest for sure, but other distro's users are helpful too, just that their IRC channel is not as big.
[13:07] <nightshade209> craigbass1976: huh, what? i have no idea what either of those are
[13:07] <Rookie407> craigbass1976, im using the newest 11.10
[13:07] <iceroot> usr13: like the rtfm-debian .)
[13:07] <Culiforge> hehe, I remember taking a summer course in 6th grade to "learn" Basic... very anticlimactic for a 10 year old...
[13:08] <craigbass1976> Rookie407, you're golden then.  Any ubuntu boxes I run are still Lucid, so when I put Fedora with new gnome on my laptop, it was a bit of a shock.
[13:08] <Rookie407> craigbass1976, a friend was telling me to use gnome cuz its similar to windows but i didnt know how or where to get it lol
[13:08] <mediajunkie> And even then , every new update will have its problems. Currently I've bought a new laptop and the new hardware is not supported in Lucid (10.04), well at least not out of the box. So I thought it is maybe a good Idea to give onerric a roll. (11.10) And pretty much all the hardware is supported out of the box. Except de Video drivers for the dual cards from ATI (AMD)  Now having said that I found this version pretty buggy, and having a
[13:08] <mediajunkie>  lot of broken packages with it. I really have trouble getting everything to work on this new version. and it has costed me several days figuring out stuff, and I'm not there yet, but then again, If I would do a switch in windows from one version to another and at the same time on new hardware, the same thing would happen.
[13:08] <Rookie407> really the most important part of all this i wanna learn is the command lines i wanna wreck the terminals world XD
[13:09] <iceroot> Rookie407: bash hacking is always a good idea
[13:09] <usr13> iceroot: Well, yea, there is arogance on some of the other channels from time to time.  And here on #ubuntu, they set a very good example.  There are too many that answer with rtfm or google it instead of giving specific answers, but they are the minority.
[13:09] <iceroot> usr13: but of course other communities are also great
[13:10] <nightshade209> Rookie407: don't be afraid to experiment then... once you install the basic system, backup the whole thing and go crazy on it... u'll learn much more that way
[13:10] <fidel> Rookie407: then get used to 'apt' first and maybe 'ps' & 'grep' & 'find' and the usage of the |
[13:10] <iceroot> Rookie407: yes, try to install some software on the command-line using "apt-get"
[13:10] <Rookie407> haha fidel you lost me at apt =P
[13:10] <iceroot> Rookie407: see how the things with the repos works (apt-get is using the repos) and ubottu have you a link about repos first
[13:10] <fidel> Rookie407: most commands have a manual you can access inside a terminal
[13:11] <Rookie407> iceroot, i tryed installing javajdk im pretty sure i got it installed but without other programs that require java jdk idk if it even right
[13:11] <fidel> the command to access that manual is 'man' - so if you want to get basic info directly inside a terminal session about i.e. the command 'apt' enter 'man apt'
[13:11] <throstur2> what is the command to see how many processors I have
[13:11] <Rookie407> or how to set the environ variables for that matter
[13:11] <throstur2> aka cores
[13:11] <iceroot> throstur2: cat /proc/cpuinfo or "top" and press 1 there
[13:12] <usr13> iceroot: I remember when I first started using xfce and joined #xfce for some pointers, I got some very good info in short order.  And have had similar experiences with other projects and irc channels and forums.  I've seen plenty of rude users, and I must admit that even though this is by far the largest community, they are the most polite and helpful, I'll give you that.
[13:12] <craigbass1976> Rookie407, easy killer...  You'll get there. It's nothing like DOS, because it's actually useful.  I odn't know that GNOME is like Windows.  XFCE and LXDE are more like XP as I remember
[13:12] <mediajunkie> back to my question for someone that might know>   have Evolution working fine on oneiric.... Using gmail accounts, ... and address book. All was there and working for few days. but now it seems that my Gmail address book is empty (in evo) not on google
[13:13] <Rookie407> craigbass1976, lmfao at " It's nothing like DOS, because it's actually useful."
[13:13] <nightshade209> mediajunkie: is there an option to manually re-sync it or something? sorry, but i never used evolution for any amount of time...
[13:13] <mediajunkie> >> and another strange thing is that evolution --force-shutdown seems not to work anymore on oneirric
[13:14] <nightshade209> mediajunkie: i know this doesn't answer your question, but what about thunderbird?
[13:14] <mediajunkie> no it won't even allow me to delete the address book entry . I can make a new one but also that is empty at the moment. .   What I have tried is killing the password entry in the key-ring, and start it again. but no help there.
[13:15] <godos> anybody help me with overscan tvout problems?
[13:15] <mediajunkie> Well I like thunderbird, but i'm on evolution now since 2008 and have tons of emails in it. and do need a full PIM. After being a MS nut with outlook , Evo seemed the only real replacement at the time.
[13:16] <fidel> mediajunkie: tb might offer a similar setup using lightning
[13:16] <nightshade209> mediajunkie: ok... maybe there's something that allows you to import from evolution to thunderbird?
[13:16] <fidel> mediajunkie: evolutios cal & adressbook integration was never stable for me to be honest
[13:16] <usr13>  /msg Rookie407 Here is one guy's opinion about customizing Ubuntu.  Skip the install instructions and about half way down, he gives his opinion on some ubuntu tweeks that you might find useful / informative.
[13:16] <maciej_> hi guys, i need help. im new to linux and i dont know how to have diffrents icons in diffrent pulpits, is it possible?
[13:16] <usr13> ooops.... I skipped a space.  Oh well.
[13:16] <fidel> mediajunkie: are you using pop - or why is having all mails 'in evolution' an issue in terms of a possible app-switch to something else?
[13:19] <mediajunkie> fidel: well I mix Pop and Imap accounts
[13:20] <mediajunkie> Also there is the connection to a Exhange ... and that is were TB will be no good for me.
[13:21] <mediajunkie> (don't say..  : I've installed Blender out of the PPA to get version 2.61.. there is a dependancy  for glibc 2.7.    anyway to install that on oneiric?
[13:24] <iceroot> mediajunkie: hm
[13:24] <iceroot> mediajunkie: changing glibc is normally breaking a lot of stuff
[13:25] <iceroot> !info glibc
[13:25] <pksadiq> !find glibc
[13:25] <iceroot> pksadiq: thx
[13:25] <mediajunkie> I've seen that too , but blender won't start. so I need to find a way
[13:26] <pksadiq> iceroot: np ;)
[13:26] <mediajunkie> but I notice in general that a lot of packages don't work in 11.10
[13:27] <iceroot> mediajunkie: the ppa is for 11.10?
[13:27] <geppo> !list
[13:27] <mediajunkie> iceroot yes
[13:27] <KS> i want to search text PATRON_NAME in all files but it is also searching small caps word i.e patron_name ,and i dont want to search small caps word ,i am using find for that  ex:- find /home  -type f -exec grep -il "patron_name" {} \; > /openils/PATRON_NAME1.txt
[13:27] <pksadiq> mediajunkie: have you enabled openGL? I think blender won't live without it
[13:27] <iceroot> mediajunkie: and you are using 11.10?
[13:28] <mediajunkie> iceroot yes, 11.10
[13:28] <kalevikosunen> kokeilu
[13:28] <iceroot> KS: dont use -i
[13:28] <mediajunkie> pksadig: that might be a problem as I seem not to be able to install catalic drivers (amd)
[13:28] <iceroot> KS: -i is ignoring case-sensitiv so it will match foo and FOO
 thank you :)
[13:29] <pksadiq> mediajunkie: also please note that !TAB is your friend :)
[13:29] <MonkeyDust> KS  regular expressions?
[13:30] <mediajunkie> pksadiq: the third party drivers say that they are active and installed but they are not if you try to start catalic it won't and fuzz that the drivers are not installed
[13:30] <iceroot> KS: and grep -r patron_name /home  is not what you are looking for?
[13:30] <mediajunkie> ..... pksadiq  ... what is !TAB
[13:30] <pksadiq> !TAB | mediajunkie
[13:31] <siryo> HELLO
[13:31] <pksadiq> mediajunkie: open terminal and type blender <Enter>, you may get an Idea of what is happening

[13:31] <mediajunkie> ubottu: ahh nice
[13:31] <siryo> OK
[13:32] <mediajunkie> how dumb, about TAB, never thought about it . duhhhh tooo much coffeeeee I guess after 2 all-nighters. .LOL
[13:32] <iceroot> mediajunkie: that is also working on the shell. very usefull feature
[13:32] <mediajunkie> pksadiq: okay hold on trying now

[13:37] <CalumJEadie> Hey All, I was wondering if anyone else has had problems with the color scheme used in gedit embedded terminal? See http://imagebin.org/192102.
[13:37] <CalumJEadie> I'm not able to use byobu on linux mint 12 or ubuntu 11.10 due to foreground and background color being the same. Would be great if someones got a fix for this>?
[13:38] <mediajunkie> pksadiq: so blender seem to have issue with the GLX not working then huh.
[13:38] <MonkeyDust> CalumJEadie  i use byobu, you can change the colors by pressing F9
[13:39] <pksadiq> mediajunkie: is compiz activated on your computer?
[13:39] <mediajunkie> pksadiq: ah will have to look , let me see and try
[13:40] <CalumJEadie> MonkeyDust: Thanks for the advice, I haven't been able to change the colour succesfully though to avoid the problem. I'm also getting the same problem with the ls command.
[13:41] <MonkeyDust> CalumJEadie  what's the issue with ls?
[13:41] <CalumJEadie> MonkeyDust executable files are being shown as black rectangles, so foreground and background color the same
[13:42] <CalumJEadie> MonkeyDust see http://imagebin.org/192102
[13:42] <MonkeyDust> CalumJEadie  click Edit > profile preferences to change the color scheme
[13:42] <mediajunkie> pksadiq: compiz is on the system but how do I know it is active?
[13:43] <MonkeyDust> CalumJEadie  byobu opens a terminak, i see no terminal on that printscreen
[13:43] <MonkeyDust> terminal*
[13:43] <slakcphone> anyone using gkrellm?
[13:43] <slakcphone> I set the preferences and all that but lose thr changes after exiting
[13:44] <CalumJEadie> MonkeyDust so that's the embedded terminal in byobu, byobu is running but the problem is the background and foreground color of the status is the same
[13:44] <slakcphone> Maybe there is a config file i can put a directive in?
[13:44] <CalumJEadie> MonkeyDust using standard settings in linux mint 12
[13:44] <MonkeyDust> CalumJEadie  i'm not familiar with embedded terminal, it must be different,then
[13:45] <pksadiq> mediajunkie: in 10.04 it was available at right click  on desktop , not sure of later versions
[13:45] <_cb> how can i permanently set up my dns servers on my machine? resolv.conf gets re-written upon boot up
[13:45] <CalumJEadie> MonkeyDust thanks for the edit preferences suggestion, gedit seems to be using it's own colour scheme as changing terminal color scheme doesn't change the embedded one
[13:45] <schnuffle> _cb: do you use networkmanager?
[13:45] <MonkeyDust> _cb  disable any netwotk managerµ
[13:45] <MonkeyDust> schnuffle  was faster :)
[13:45] <schnuffle> :)
[13:46] <_cb> schnuffle am using ubuntu 11.10 the only 'network managment' I found was the useless network app on the settings
[13:46] <slakcphone> hey sorry,
[13:46] <Stepnjump> It looks like since a few hours, my desktop will write to /root/desktop as it's default desktop instead of /home/user/Desktop destination. Even when I cd ~/, I actually cd to /root/....
[13:47] <slakcphone> Use /etc/network/interfaces
[13:47] <schnuffle> _cb:  check http://askubuntu.com/questions/31023/how-to-configure-eth0-manually
[13:47] <mediajunkie> pksadiq: man, this unity thing, is a pain you know. I feel that they have wasted alot of resource time for eye candy rather than fixing bugs and upgrading functionality on apps. (it looks nice but .. ... computing is soo much more than eye candy)
[13:47] <pksadiq> mediajunkie: try alt+f2 and type compiz --replace to activate compiz,
[13:47] <user314> 1
[13:48] <Stepnjump> looks like everything is back to normal.. sorry
[13:48] <Stepnjump> disregard
[13:48] <schnuffle> _cb: if you use dhcp to get a network config, this will overwrite the DNS settings as well
[13:48] <pksadiq> mediajunkie: you can change your user interface to ubuntu classic at the login screen
[13:49] <eltigre> hey, I have some trouble with my network configuration (I think).... certain ressources on certain sites are not loaded, rendering the sites useless (blank page even though chrome and firefox say the main document is loaded correctly)
[13:49] <_cb> schnuffle I have already changed  interfaces to set a static ip. Problem is the dns servers are set in resolv.conf and that file is overwritten on boot up
[13:49] <mediajunkie> pksadiq: yes I know ,but I do want to stick and try so I'm on top of the new trends you know
[13:49] <meerkats> for those who play with 1st person shooters like nexuiz, is there a way to scroll the mouse out of the game window without exiting the game?
[13:49] <schnuffle> _cb: can you paste your /etc/network/interfaces?
[13:49] <ffk27_> meerkats: which game?
[13:49] <eltigre> any idea why ubuntu can't visit some sites whereas no windows user in my network has these problems?
[13:50] <eltigre> Does Ubuntu censor the web?
[13:50] <pksadiq> mediajunkie: the latest doesn't means the best, I don't upgrade from 10.04 because I hate unity, and my next upgrade will be to debian, and not to ubuntu :),
[13:50] <meerkats> ffk27_, nexuiz, assaultcube
[13:50] <mediajunkie> pksadiq: I love 10.4 and have it on all other machines
[13:50] <MonkeyDust> eltigre  there are some websites that refuse non-windows computers, as there are that refuse windows computers
[13:50] <pksadiq> mediajunkie: so tried enabling compiz? do you have the wobly windows and such thing now?
[13:50] <schnuffle> _cb:  to uninstall it: sudo apt-get purge network-manager network-manager-gnome
[13:51] <mediajunkie> pksadiq: but this one won't work with 10.4 ... brand new hardware ...
[13:51] <eltigre> MonkeyDust, I am pretty sure that is not the case... for example I can reach one site with ff and not chrome
[13:51] <MonkeyDust> eltigre  it must be the war of the browsers, then
[13:51] <pksadiq> mediajunkie: also there is a package named compizconfig-settings-manager that allows you to configure compiz, also you can enable/disable openGL. and a lot more
[13:52] <_cb> schnuffle wow, un-installing network manager seems a bit drastic. Imagine network manager does more than just rewrite resolv.conf
[13:52] <eltigre> MonkeyDust, no not really...
[13:52] <skilz> How can I change my startup plymouth?
[13:52] <eltigre> this is clearly a problem with ubuntu...
[13:52] <skilz> I want to install a different theme
[13:53] <pksadiq> !plymouth | skilz
[13:53] <eltigre> I'd be more interested in ways to debug this instead of hearing conspiracy theories about websites or browsers...
[13:54] <schnuffle> _cb: it doesn't but if that sounds to radical, you can configure your network to work manually in the network manager as well. There'S even an option to only get the address
[13:54] <mediajunkie> pksadiq: yes open gl is active, and yes I see that now with the compiz. ... but as I said , I don't really care for eye candy lol. it just has to work, that was why I went to linux in the first place and .... this unity thing is going a complete different direction. it breaks stuff and tries to fix things that didn't need fixing and such. ... a step backwards in compatibility
[13:55] <pksadiq> mediajunkie: did you also try opening blender in classic mode?
[13:55] <eltigre> I am really frustrated not being able to use sites that have worked for years...
[13:55] <_cb> schnuffle where is network manager in unity? system settings-->network does not seem to do much
[13:55] <eltigre> just because some ubuntu software update nukes my network configuration
[13:55] <mediajunkie> pksadiq:  still want to give it an honest try, before shit-canningit ,
[13:55] <mediajunkie> pksadiq:  how do I do that ?
[13:56] <schnuffle> _cb: doesn't have you an applet in the panel? It'S called nm-applet
[13:56] <pksadiq> mediajunkie: do what?
[13:56] <eltigre> and nobody really can help me... or wants to help me ....
[13:56] <mediajunkie> pksadiq: classic mode
[13:57] <pksadiq> mediajunkie: just login to ubuntu classic and try opening blender, that's what I mean
[13:57] <mediajunkie> pksadiq:  okay
[13:57] <Pici> eltigre: Can you provide examples of what sites won't load?
[13:58] <schnuffle> _cb: I can't check cause For the moment I'm running Mint 12
[13:58] <eltigre> Pici,  tagesschau.de
[13:58] <schnuffle> _cb: But I had strange behaviour due to having the network configured through /etc/interfaces and in nm
[13:58] <Naphidia> hey guys im doing an install from ubuntu minimal, and when i bootup, i get bios screen, then screen goes black. however i am able to ssh into the box so i know its running...
[13:59] <Naphidia> whats the issue?
[13:59] <MonkeyDust> tagesschau.de opens correctly in Chromium browser
[13:59] <Naphidia> or what might be the issue
[13:59] <Naphidia> im reinstalling right now..
[13:59] <eltigre> MonkeyDust, yeah I know
[13:59] <darkstar> Naphidia, are you on a laptop with 2 gpus?
[13:59] <eltigre> for everyone that works...
[13:59] <eltigre> except me....
[13:59] <schnuffle> _cb: if you use nm /etc/network/inferfaces should be empty except for the loopbacl device
[13:59] <k3Rn> anyone here does "nested" virtuzalisation with kvm on intel cpu?
[14:00] <Naphidia> no, its a desktop with a ATI HD vid card, and im using hdmi
[14:00] <Naphidia> its a 4x series
[14:00] <Naphidia> i can pastebin lspci output shortly, im almost done installing again
[14:03] <_cb> schnuffle maybe I need to run system settings-->network as sudo but how do I do that?
[14:03] <almoxarife> Naphidia: from a user terminal, not root, sudo apt get install fglrx and reboot
[14:04] <schnuffle> _cb: normally the system asks for the rights if you need to have them for changing a setting
[14:04] <Naphidia> will that mess up anything when i go to install the driver from ATI almoxarfe?
[14:05] <almoxarife> Naphidia: that is the ati driver
[14:05] <_cb> schnuffle I am just trying to figure out how to run the network manager in unity. This unity takes some getting used too
[14:05] <schnuffle> _cb: what happens if you open a terminal an start nm_applet?
[14:05] <Naphidia> ive had issues with teh default ati driver, sound doesn't want to work when im using sdl
[14:06] <pksadiq> one crazy question : What equation does the volume control uses to calculate the volume in dB ( from the percent volume)?
[14:06] <MonkeyDust> E=MC2
[14:06] <almoxarife> Naphidia: sound and video are two different issues, hdmi is video only
[14:07] <pksadiq> MonkeyDust: :) great, but its proved to be wrong, since scientists found particles faster than light
[14:07] <ivixor> almoxarife: hdmi is video and sound
[14:08] <MonkeyDust> pksadiq  nuclear power and gps are proof that E=MC2 is correct, now back ontopic ;)
[14:08] <almoxarife> Naphidia: the sound is not affected by the video drivers, and yes, hdmi is sound out as ivixor said
[14:09] <mediajunkie> thanks for all feedback guys, I have to get some food on the table first. but pksadiq, I will try and see what classic mode does. but I think I should battle first the ATI driver thing for those apps I think.
[14:12] <almoxarife> ivixor: hdmi is a cable that makes a one way trip up till someone cracks it
[14:14] <Naphidia> installing... i hope this works
[14:15] <vikey> 不懂怎么用 多关照。
[14:15] <MonkeyDust> !cn| vikey

[14:30] <Narcotic> 1 terra
[14:31] <iceroot> Narcotic: you want to resize the partition? or install on a new hdd?
[14:32] <Narcotic> no i just wane tresize it becouse steam say u don,t got enough space ???
[14:32] <Narcotic> flaws sry
[14:33] <MonkeyDust> Narcotic  copy to a 1TB disk, you mean?
[14:34] <iceroot> Narcotic: i would suggest to make a backup of the important files, then boot a live-system and use gparted to resize the partition
[14:34] <Narcotic> monkeydust i got win 8 and 7 and ubuntu on one disk i install obuntu and win 8 and 7 on one disk i putr 19 gig for ububtu now i wanne get 100 gig on it but how do i do that
[14:35] <iceroot> Narcotic: i told you already how to do it
[14:35] <ffk27_> Narcotic: use a ubuntu live cd with gparted
[14:35] <bazhang> Narcotic, did you see iceroot 's suggestion or not
[14:36] <Narcotic> yes sry
[14:36] <Narcotic> thx http://www.bol.com/nl/order/basket.html?_requestid=101313

[14:48] <DamienCassou> hi
[14:48] <ffk27_> hi
[14:49] <DamienCassou> I've just installed oneiric and I'm looking for a timer-applet and system-monitor-applet compatible with unity
[14:49] <kalevikosunen> hi
[14:49] <DamienCassou> +clipboard manager
[14:49] <DamienCassou> it seems the ones I used are not compatible anymore
[14:50] <DamienCassou> there are alternatives and I would like your opinion
[14:51] <xangua> DamienCassou: glippy is a clipboard manager and has indicator support, other indicators: http://askubuntu.com/questions/30334/list-of-application-indicators
[14:52] <DamienCassou> xangua: I'm having a look. Any experience?
[14:58] <jasonlfunk> I have ubuntu server installed and am trying to figure out how to configure my ethernet device so that when I plug in a cable it will get an ip address via DHCP. Currently, if I boot without a cable plugged in and then plug it in after it is up, it will not grab an IP address.
[14:58] <bazhang> jasonlfunk, sudo dhclient eth0  returns what
[14:59] <jasonlfunk> That will get me an IP address, but I want it to do it automatically.
[15:00] <llutz> jasonlfunk: allow-hotplug ethX    in /etc/network/interfaces
[15:01] <koppe> Want to reinstall Linux.  Bought an external drive.  Want move my old /home to this, preferebly with Linux users/groups and permission.  Is there a good way to get a *compressed* Unix-type FS on it?  Or should I forsake UnixFS and use NTFS w/compression?  (Is NTFS-compression supported?)
[15:01] <Androguy> why does it need to be compressed?
[15:02] <jasonlfunk> llutz: Use "allow-hotplug eth0" instead of "auto eth0"?
[15:02] <Androguy> koppe: I suppose you could just dd the drive.
[15:03] <quiescens> to be fair, under a lot of the most common workloads, things are faster on a compressed filesystem than regular
[15:03] <llutz> jasonlfunk: not instead, add it
[15:03] <Androguy> koppe: and then resize the partition in gparted after.
[15:03] <koppe> Because I got lots of text-files (email backups and ebooks among other things) that it would be a great shame to let use more space than neccessery.
[15:03] <arooni-mobile> hi folks.  my volume keys don't work on ubuntu 11.10.  running lenovo t420 laptop.
[15:04] <jasonlfunk> llutz: okay, I'll give that a shot.
[15:05] <koppe> Androguy: Guess I could, but I'm sort of hoping to continue to use the drive for more /home back-ups later, so I don't think dd would work (like to start fresh now and then)
[15:05] <RaTTuS> koppe - I'd not bother TBH - you wont see any real imporvment
[15:07] <arooni-mobile> hi folks.  1) my volume keys don't work on ubuntu 11.10.  running lenovo t420 laptop.     2) can i remap keys on the keyboard to do other things?  for instance, i got a replacement keyboard for my laptop  (latin america version) but want to remap one of the keys to be a shift key
[15:09] <thundercles_> yes
[15:09] <thundercles_> in the control center
[15:10] <thundercles_> you should be able to set any global hotkey settings, single keys or macros
[15:10] <thundercles_> I usaully set ctrl+alt+end to bring up the task manager thingie
[15:10] <jasonlfunk> llutz: that doesn't seem to help. I see the "eth0: link up" in my messages file, but I don't see it tried to get an IP address.
[15:11] <thundercles_> open up a terminal window jasonlfunk
[15:11] <thundercles_> and type sudo ifconfig
[15:11] <llutz> jasonlfunk: did you disable networkmanager?
[15:12] <thundercles_> see what pops up, what is your question exactly though I missed it
[15:12] <llutz> thundercles_: ifconfig needs no sudo
[15:12] <jasonlfunk> llutz: It's possible, I don't see the process running.
[15:12] <thundercles_> it does if you try and do anything other then view
[15:12] <thundercles_> so I just usaully type it in reguardless
[15:13] <pensfan> anyone having problems with ubuntu just shutting down every once in a while?
[15:13] <pensfan> it does it quite gracefully
[15:13] <thundercles_> also try running dhclient in the terminal
[15:13] <llutz> jasonlfunk: allow-hotplug eth0, auto eth0, iface eth0 inet dhcp             those 3 lines should be in your interfaces
[15:13] <pensfan> but why
[15:13] <thundercles_> that fixes DHCP stuff a lot
[15:13] <llutz> thundercles_: bad habit :)
[15:13] <quiescens> bad things happen when people get too used to just using sudo because it might help
[15:13] <jasonlfunk> thundercles_: Thanks. My problem is getting the interface to automatically fetch an IP address when a cable is plugged in. I don't have a problem getting one manually.
[15:14] <thundercles_> yeah ubuntu has given me a lot of bad habits :(
[15:14] <Naphidia> install ubuntu minimal, learn less bad habits
[15:14] <Naphidia> lawl
[15:14] <quiescens> have had to deal with people that have files in their home directory owned by root and so on
[15:14] <jasonlfunk> llutz: It doesn't look like I have network-manager installed.
[15:14] <quiescens> always fun
[15:14] <thundercles_> lmao, well I'd just go back to fedora or debian if I wanted to do that lol
[15:15] <jasonlfunk> llutz: I may have uninstalled it because I thought it was a Gnome thing.
[15:15] <llutz> jasonlfunk: well, then it should work ™ this way
[15:15] <jasonlfunk> llutz: is network-manager required for this to work?
[15:15] <llutz> jasonlfunk: no  need for that crap
[15:16] <jasonlfunk> llutz: does "allow-hotplug" need to come before the auto line?
[15:16] <jasonlfunk> llutz: I suppose I could just try. :)
[15:16] <llutz> jasonlfunk: i always have it on top of the file... no idea if that matters
[15:17] <Anomie21> Anyone have experience using a SNES emulator in Ubuntu? I have XP installed on a partition; just wondering if it's worth trying to get it to work in Ubuntu or just go onto XP?
[15:17] <w30> quiescens, Yeah, I have had that bite me, someone said use gksu instead of sudo for graphical apps to stop that.
[15:17] <thundercles_> yeah I am pretty sure there is zsnes or something for linux
[15:18] <thundercles_> wine should be able to run an snes emulator with no problem whatsoever if there is only windows ones for some reaosn
[15:18] <Anomie21> thundercles_: Yeah I'm aware there are emulators just wondering if anyone knew how buggy, etc they were
[15:18] <thundercles_> you'd just have to keep the roms in the windows directory tree tho
[15:18] <MonkeyDust> !info zsnes
[15:19] <thundercles_> well try out some of them, if you like the windows one better try running it in wine
[15:19] <Naphidia> zsnes has issues with some configs on linux
[15:19] <Naphidia> namely the sound..
[15:19] <Naphidia> lol
[15:20] <thundercles_> it takes really really weird specialty softwares to not work in wine excellently anymore
[15:20] <thundercles_> like turbotax
[15:20] <Anomie21> Got my USB SNES controllers through the post this morning. Friday night snes party! I will try WINE, thx
[15:20] <Naphidia> i wish steam would run in wine
[15:20] <thundercles_> thats the only one besides vendor phone flashing software I've had to run windows for lately
[15:20] <Naphidia> it does but doesn;t handle it well
[15:21] <MonkeyDust> Anomie21  http://maketecheasier.com/play-classic-console-games-in-linux/2009/11/13?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+MakeTechEasier+%28Make+Tech+Easier%29&utm_content=Google+Reader
[15:21] <th^2> hello. is there a bitcoin client for ubuntu?
[15:21] <Slagwag> how do I view the version of ubuntu i have running at a command line
[15:21] <Anomie21> MonkeyDust: ta
[15:22] <thundercles_> shoot I forgot that one
[15:22] <oCean> Slagwag: lsb_release -a
[15:22] <xangua> there is Desura  Naphidia
[15:22] <who_me> Naphidia, Steam does run on wine
[15:22] <xangua> a 'steam lite' Naphidia
[15:22] <thundercles_> yeah I ran steam on wine fine before, I just don't game very much
[15:23] <Slagwag> ocean - thanks
[15:23] <oneliner> uname -a
[15:23] <oneliner> that one?
[15:23] <Slagwag> ocean oneiric isthe codename similar to pervious ones like lenny, etch, hardy right?
[15:23] <RaTTuS> th^2 - http://ubuntuguide.net/install-bitcoin-in-ubuntu-10-0410-1011-04-from-ppa
[15:23] <Naphidia> if steam ever ran natively on linux i would ditch windows forever
[15:24] <oCean> Slagwag: lenny, etch are debian names. Ubuntu's names are here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DevelopmentCodeNames
[15:24] <who_me> Naphidia,  but you do not need to use raw wine. You can use PlayOnLinux - free or Crossover Games which gives a 7 days un-hindered trial mode then you need to pay if you want to keep using it
[15:24] <KingPin> steam doesnt even allow us to use their chat apart from their shitty client... I doubt they would ever goto linux
[15:24] <Naphidia> yeah but im jobless, otherwise it would be nice to pay for something like that
[15:25] <Naphidia> my rent currently costs more than my current income, temp jobs is all ive been able to find lately
[15:25] <who_me> Naphidia, steam is just a content delivery platform, you need games to be actually developed to run on linux
[15:25] <matt23> naphidia http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/its-official-steam-coming-linux
[15:25] <Naphidia> yea
[15:25] <thundercles_> Naphidia, I hear ya. I feel like a shmuck lately not being able to donate to any project I use either :(
[15:26] <Slagwag> ocean - thanks!
[15:26] <KingPin> who_me,  there already are games on steam from indie devs that run on linux.
[15:26] <Naphidia> says coming months... that was 2010
[15:26] <KingPin> there would be more if steam catered to linux
[15:26] <Naphidia> ive yet to see it
[15:26] <Sideev> How can I gather the information of my system temperature? I just want to know whether over-heating is happening or not?
[15:26] <thundercles_> well steam caters to running game servers on linux :p
[15:26] <KingPin> that is true
[15:26] <KingPin> I run almost 3 dozen instances
[15:27] <Naphidia> https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Steam_under_Linux
[15:27] <KingPin> I would be running like 3 if I had to run on windows
[15:27] <Naphidia> hmm found it but it looks like it uses wine
[15:27] <thundercles_> wine isn't too shabby anymore, it's really come along
[15:27] <jasonlfunk> llutz: do you know any way to debug why this isn't working?
[15:28] <thundercles_> when they had that goal of running the windows 7 directX because windows wouldn't make it compatable with XP things advanced a bit
[15:28] <llutz> jasonlfunk: not off hand, sry
[15:28] <jasonlfunk> llutz: np, thanks.
[15:28] <thundercles_> nothing like MS abusing their customers to drive a few more over to linux :)
[15:29] <DMJC> how do I disable all the gui crap at boot?
[15:29] <llutz> !nox | DMJC
[15:29] <thundercles_> oh they changed it to shift?
[15:30] <szal> llutz: that's not the answer to the question, I guess
[15:30] <thundercles_> thanks a lot ubottu I was very surprised when esc stopped working and I wasn't able to modify grub stuff anymore
[15:30] <thundercles_> never got around to figuring it out tho,
[15:30] <DMJC> hmm that didn't work
[15:31] <DMJC> screen still went black
[15:31] <DamienCassou> when pressing SUPER+W I get a visualization of all the windows (great). However, the active window is not distinguishable from the other ones which makes the whole shortcut less useful. Is there a way to add some kind of highlighting?
[15:31] <RaTTuS> DMJC blank != GUI
[15:32] <Sideev> How can I gather the information of my system temperature? I just want to know whether over-heating is happening or not?
[15:32] <DMJC> Rattus: I realise this, my framebuffers are not working correctly
[15:32] <DMJC> I need to disable all the weird graphics crap and get a vesa framebuffer forced all the way in until boot finishes
[15:32] <RaTTuS> aha right
[15:33] <who_me> then you prolly need to blacklist some video drivers ?
[15:33] <DMJC> yeah
[15:33] <DMJC> I have 0 access to the system right now
[15:33] <DMJC> all I have is grub2
[15:33] <indrora> I'm working on getting Awesome, Thunar, nm-applet and a few other things working nicely together. Can anyone tell me how the hell to make PolicyKit like me via SLiM
[15:33] <RaTTuS> boot fro musb?
[15:34] <jasonlfunk> llutz: I wonder if my hotplug isn't working at all.
[15:34] <oCean> Sideev: install package lm-sensors
[15:36] <Narcotic> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppMejf920Z8
[15:36] <indrora> Does anyone know how to make SLiM/awesome/xinitrc's work properly with nm-applet, thunar and friends?
[15:36] <oCean> Narcotic: why are you posting that?
[15:37] <Slagwag> im trying to install opsview on ubuntu and it had me add a line to /etc/apt/sources.list called - deb http://downloads.opsera.com/opsview-community/latest/apt <OS> main

[15:37] <Slagwag> to install it
[15:37] <AuPurchal> how do i install hamachi?
[15:37] <MonkeyDust> what's himachi?
[15:37] <Slagwag> its from logmein
[15:37] <indrora> Does anyone know how to make SLiM/awesome/xinitrc's work properly with nm-applet, thunar and friends?
[15:38] <Slagwag> to create a fake vpned network
[15:38] <Sideev> oCean: http://bit.ly/ws7DUW is it the one?
[15:38] <kutenai2> I just installed version 11.10 on a computer. The video card did not work - when it booted we got scrambled video then blank screen. Removed the card and used the onboard VGA and this works..
[15:38] <indrora> kutenai2: nvidia?
[15:38] <Joene> Guys i need some help.
[15:38] <kutenai2> I downloaded the driver from Nvideo for Linux (64 bit), and tried to install it.
[15:38] <kutenai2> It said I need to shut downy he X server..
[15:38] <oCean> Sideev: that is lm-sensors output indeed
[15:38] <indrora> kutenai2: try installing them from the repos.
[15:38] <kutenai2> I tried various way to do this.. sudu init 1, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop…
[15:38] <indrora> kutenai2: works better.
[15:39] <kutenai2> no dice.
[15:39] <indrora> kutenai2: also, blacklist 'nouveau' manually if you have to
[15:39] <kutenai2> okay.. I'll have to do that the.
[15:39] <kutenai2> blacklist nouveau?
[15:39] <indrora> kutenai2: Some nouveau-"supported" cards turn up trash
[15:40] <indrora> kutenai2: random striping, trashed text, cursors etc?
[15:40] <go8765> ia any matter if i write  gnome-terminal --command /home/go8765432/.jdownloader/downloads/azureus/azureus or  gnome-terminal --command cd ~/.jdownloader/downloads/azureus && ./azureus ?
[15:40] <indrora> thats nouveau doing its shit.
[15:41] <xangua> go8765: azureus and jdownloader are in repository
[15:41] <Stepnjump> Anyone would know a good app that would allow me to ALL the duplicates recursively inside a dir and it's subdirs but contrary to FSlint, I am looking for something that will either automatically remove the duplicates or will bring me through a wizard that will ask me which files I want to delete and which ones I want to keep (keep newest, keep oldest, whatever). Something similar to foldermatch. Anything that works similar to this in Ubuntu ??? I have bee
[15:41] <Stepnjump> n searching all night!

[15:41] <Joene> Is there any other programs in linux where i can force format my usb flash drive? its write protected ;(
[15:42] <estrela> UHu
[15:42] <DamienCassou> Joene: try gparted
[15:42] <Joene> Gparted didn't work :( it only gives me error :(
[15:42] <siddardhab> How do i add a fb account after i add a twitter account in gwibber.Can't see the option anywhere..
[15:43] <Joene> Is there any other programs in linux where i can force format my usb flash drive? its write protected ;(
[15:43] <Sideev> oCean: Sorry to bug you again. But how to get the output on?
[15:43] <oCean> Sideev: have you installed? Run  sudo apt-get install lm-sensors   Then run the command  sensors
[15:43] <kutenai2> Some blocked random video, then blank screen.
[15:44] <Pici> !floodbot | ET_
[15:44] <kutenai2> The card is an NVidia Geforce 9500
[15:44] <kutenai2> the onboard VGA works fine though, but only a single monitor
[15:44] <siddardhab> somebody.....
[15:44] <siddardhab> How do i add a fb account after i add a twitter account in gwibber.Can't see the option anywhere..
[15:44] <nightshade209> siddardhab: Edit> Accounts
[15:44] <Sideev> oCean: temp1 : 62 C Temp2 : 58 C
[15:44] <nightshade209> siddardhab: or try Ctrl+Shift+A
[15:45] <siddardhab> I did but i do not seea option to add a account
[15:45] <kutenai2> Okay.. I understand that I need to blacklist nouveau for the card. I'll look that up.
[15:46] <nightshade209> siddardhab: there is a window on the left with a (+) and a (-) sign below it - click on the (+)
[15:47] <oCean> Sideev: I don't know the details, but you need/can configure your chips in /etc/sensors3.conf
[15:47] <oneliner> kutenai2: you could simply disable it in grub boot command; while booting after biasd screen press shift to get the grub menu, select your linux boot entry and press e to edit it, find the line that says quiet splash and put nouveau.modeset=0 at the end , then hit control x to but with that edit
[15:47] <siddardhab> nightshade209 ooh,I saw it.My bad.
[15:48] <siddardhab> @nightshade209 thanks
[15:48] <kutenai2> Thanks.. I'll try that
[15:48] <kutenai2> oneliner: thanks..
[15:48] <sam___> Hi i've changed the motherboard on my ubuntu server installation and now i cannot see the network cards.. how can i cause ubuntu to re-detect network adaptors?
[15:48] <Sideev> oCean: Is sensors only commands present?
[15:48] <oneliner> if that works you can then edit that line permanently in the grub default configuration file
[15:48] <nightshade209> siddardhab: sure
[15:49] <go8765> xangua, so is any difference in result ?
[15:51] <oCean> Sideev: there's also the sensors-detect command (needs sudo) there is some information available, like https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto
[15:51] <meco> How can I set audio to mono?
[15:52] <Sideev> oCean: Ubuntu has so far been pathetic at managing power. Thanks a lot for the help. Appreciated. :-)
[15:53] <sam___> will discover do the trick?
[15:53] <oCean> Sideev: Welcome! There is some addl information at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerManagement
[15:54] <Sideev> oCean: Lemme go through them as well. :-)
[15:54] <go8765> ia any difference if i write  gnome-terminal --command /home/go8765432/.jdownloader/downloads/azureus/azureus or  gnome-terminal --command cd ~/.jdownloader/downloads/azureus && ./azureus ?
[15:55] <_jason> go8765: yes, there is a difference
[15:55] <almoxarife> sam___: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1772245
[15:56] <go8765> _jason, and what is difference ?
[15:57] <_jason> go8765: current working directory will not be the same.  Also your second command will not do what you expect I imagine
[15:58] <go8765> _jason, the last azureus in firs command - is bin file. so is any difference in commands?
[15:58] <_jason> go8765: yes, the difference is the one I said
[15:59] <ksx4system> any chanops here? I'd love to talk to one of them.
[15:59] <go8765> _jason, why you think that working dirrectories are not the same?
[15:59] <oCean> ksx4system: /join #ubuntu-ops
[16:00] <ksx4system> oCean: thanks
[16:00] <_jason> go8765: because in one you change it and in the other you don't
[16:01] <go8765> _jason, sorry:) I forgot cd in the begining of first command :) It i type it are any difference in command?
[16:01] <go8765> *it=if
[16:02] <nightshade209> _jason: "Also your second command will not do what you expect I imagine" not sure what you mean here - it will run azureus, won't it?
[16:02] <AmberJ> I remember using "Ubuntu recovery mode" from GRUB to change passwd for a user account...
[16:02] <AmberJ> I just tried it but it won't work...
[16:02] <AmberJ> Was this feature disabled?
[16:03] <_jason> nightshade209: I haven't tried but I think it will be read as (gnome-terminal --command cd whatever) && (./azureus)
[16:03] <nightshade209> _jason: hmmm, ya, true..
[16:07] <pensfan> how do i get my audio to mute when i unplug my earphones?
[16:07] <go8765> _jason, It I type cd in the begining of first command - is  are any difference in commands?
[16:08] <nightshade209> go8765: ya, as _jason said, it will interpret the commands as (gnome-terminal --command cd whatever) && (./azureus)
[16:08] <_jason> go8765: yes, arg0 will be different :)
[16:08] <sburjan_> Hello. Does anyone know a fix for the Dell XPS 15 L502x nVidia issue ?
[16:09] <pensfan> is there a way to get separate audio controls for speakers and headphones?
[16:09] <AmberJ> Anyone? Why does changing passwords from "ubuntu recovery mode" in GRUB does not works?
[16:09] <CaBa> hi
[16:09] <_jason> AmberJ: how did you change it?
[16:09] <CaBa> is there any repository maintaining current firefox releases for ubuntu LTS?
[16:09] <pensfan> AmberJ, because the drive is mounted read only
[16:10] <xangua> !fx6 | CaBa
[16:10] <pensfan> AmberJ, also you may have to chroot
[16:10] <xangua> the repository has fx 9.0,1 ;)
[16:10] <AmberJ> iirc I did "passwd user", pensfan, _ja
[16:10] <AmberJ> *_jason
[16:10] <Groan> I just upgraded to oneiric and it turned ipv6 on and ipv4 off. how do i enable ipv4?
[16:10] <MonkeyDust> what's iirc?
[16:10] <pensfan> AmberJ, pastie output from mount
[16:10] <bindi> MonkeyDust: if i remember correctly
[16:11] <_jason> AmberJ: to be clear, pastebin the output from mount while in recovery mode
[16:11] <AmberJ> pensfan, well, I don't remember but I did it long time back...may be it was not ubuntu
[16:11] <pensfan> AmberJ, pastie output from mount
[16:11] <AmberJ> I'll need to reboot from it...brb
[16:12] <CaBa> xangua: hm? both lucid and lucid-updates show 3.6 as current package version at http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=firefox&searchon=names&section=all
[16:12] <go8765> _jason, and now?  gnome-terminal --command /home/go8765432/.jdownloader/downloads/azureus/azureus or  gnome-terminal --command "cd ~/.jdownloader/downloads/azureus && ./azureus "?
[16:12] <xangua> CaBa: use the PPA
[16:13] <CaBa> xangua: well if you say it is somewhere in the official repo as a security update i'd prefer that
[16:13] <_jason> go8765: still different.  Can I ask why you want to know?  What do you want to accomplish?  Note that while there are differences, they may or may not be significant
[16:13] <xangua> CaBa: it's in the ppa the bot mention
[16:13] <CaBa> ah, 11.04 it says, not 10.04
[16:13] <CaBa> i misread that
[16:13] <CaBa> damn
[16:14] <netsurf3> hi all, been getting some freezes using disk encryption and splash for lucid any ideas what causes it?
[16:14] <xangua> the ppa is for 10.04 and 10.10 CaBa
[16:14] <pensfan> is there a way to get separate audio controls for speakers and headphones?
[16:15] <CaBa> xangua: yes i know. i was hoping i wouldn't need the PPA
[16:15] <MonkeyDust> pensfan  in a terminal, type alsamixer
[16:15] <netsurf3> enter the password and the machine stops there but sending a reboot signal ie ctl alt delete will shut it down. It seems like it gets stuck waiting for something
[16:15] <Sideev> Hi, is it just me or anyone else also feels that ubuntu is pathetic at power management?
[16:15] <xangua> CaBa: you can also download it from firefox.com
[16:16] <pensfan> MonkeyDust, then?
[16:16] <netsurf3> Sideev, I do believe there was an article on phoronix about the newer versions of ubuntu being worse for PM
[16:16] <doritoDan> I'm looking for a lightweight Linux distro that I can use to run Dosbox. I'm pretty much not going to be doing anything else on this system, so I'm wondering if Ubuntu would be a good choice for this task, or if I should go with another distro?
[16:16] <xangua> Sideev: if you mean kernel 2.3.35 and up, it's general
[16:16] <MonkeyDust> pensfan  start there, it shows all the audio controls
[16:16] <CaBa> xangua: thats even worse than the ppa ;)
[16:16] <CaBa> i'll go for the ppa... more paperwork, but still acceptable :P
[16:16] <pensfan> MonkeyDust, i've already been through all the alsa controls
[16:16] <xangua> doritoDan: lubuntu is the lighter flavor of ubuntu ;)
[16:17] <doritoDan> Okay.
[16:17] <doritoDan> I literally only need a system on which I can autoboot dosbox
[16:17] <doritoDan> Will lubuntu do the trick, or is there something even better I can use?
[16:18] <netsurf3> DoritoDan you could heavily strip down ubuntu or another linux flavour to give more performance to dosbox
[16:18] <doritoDan> I'm not an experienced Linux user, so I don't think I could do that.
[16:18] <hateb> window menu bar is on the task bar in unity ? that's bizarre
[16:19] <MonkeyDust> hateb  it's called globalmenu
[16:19] <hateb> can I disable it ?
[16:19] <netsurf3> doritoDan, if you find that you aren't getting enough power from lubuntu try installing twm and running that instead (its an alternative window manager)
[16:20] <netsurf3> its the lightest thing i have used so far and back in the day it got me a good few more frames in ut2004 :)
[16:20] <MonkeyDust> hateb  http://www.addictivetips.com/ubuntu-linux-tips/how-to-disable-global-menu-in-ubuntu-11-10-tip
[16:20] <jutnux> Howdy all.
[16:21] <Sideev> netsurf3: So are you done with ubuntu ? looking for another flavor?
[16:21] <AmberJ> pensfan, _jason yes...you guys were right. It was mounted read only. There was an additional option in receovery mode menu "remount" (as read/write). I used it and that allowed me to change the password. Thanks a lot :)
[16:22] <Sideev> xangua: So how do you people manage it? I find it too difficult to be true!
[16:22] <sergey_> русские есть?

[16:22] <sergey_> так русские есть?
[16:23] <netsurf3> Sideev, i use a desktop mainly and powermanagement isnt too much of a bother. A general rule of thumb for me is i stick to ubuntu LTS releases
[16:23] <MonkeyDust> !ru | sergey_
[16:23] <xangua> Sideev: I read it will be fixed in next ubuntu release
[16:23] <netsurf3> i used to be a fedora person but got burned badly after fedora 9 and decided i wanted something that was fairly soild while not being straight debian
[16:24] <Sideev> netsurf3: But for my HP tablet LTS releases aren't any good either. :-|
[16:24] <Whitor> I used to be a slackware person then I decided I didn't feel like look a boat load of work every time I wanted to update the system or install an application. also beryl was pretty
[16:24] <netsurf3> Sideev, as in the power is still rubbish you mean?
[16:25] <Whitor> *feel like doing a boat load*

[16:28] <dimitris> hi I need to find adriver for my webcam, i am runniing latest ubuntu , what can i try? what command to see what driver i am looking into
[16:29] <hateb> MonkeyDust: thank you
[16:29] <netsurf3> Sideev, considering that xangua has said that it is ment to be fixed in later releases you could find out if there is a patch for this on the kernel side and retrofit it to the distro of your choice? its alot of faf but you learn alot and it's got a good chance of making things better? only other thing i can think of is see if someone else has solved the problem and done that hard work?
[16:30] <doritoDan> netsurf3: Alright, thanks.
[16:30] <dimitris> please any command to find out what my driver or device is
[16:30] <dimitris> for webcam
[16:30] <urlin2u> dimitris, are you sure you even need a driver?
[16:30] <netsurf3> dimitris, start with providing a pastebin link of sudo lsusb
[16:31] <netsurf3> also if it is a usb webcam unplug it from the pc and then plug it back in and do a dmesg
[16:31] <netsurf3> you will see some info about how linux detects the device
[16:32] <dimitris> i am not even sure, what can i try oh

[16:34] <induz> I have ubuntu running on my desktop, if i change its RAM, do i have to re-install the OS??
[16:35] <nightshade209> induz: no, you don't
[16:35] <urlin2u> induz, shouldn't
[16:35] <induz> also can i add a HD as a slave
[16:35] <netsurf3> dimitris, sudo apt-get install cheese
[16:36] <induz> I read that ubuntu is Hardwares specific??
[16:36] <netsurf3> give that ago above anything else right now
[16:36] <Slagwag> probably a simple issue
[16:36] <go8765> _jason, In man vuze I found instruction how to run it. but I cant put it one command. so I asked is any difference in this two commands. because, another command work for me
[16:36] <Slagwag> uploaded a website to /var/www but added it to a subfolder by mistake
[16:36] <Slagwag> is there a way to move all files/folders from /var/www/subfolder to -> /var/www/
[16:37] <hateb> When I wanna change my admin password to new one it says that it is to similar to old one, so what it is ? I want it anyway, but I can't ><
[16:37] <ikonia> hateb: just change it to 123456 then change it straight away to your new one
[16:38] <urlin2u> hateb, tyoe passwd in the terminal and change it.
[16:38] <urlin2u> typee
[16:38] <prower> hello everyone :> i've installed the nvidia drivers manually (290.10), but when i reboot it's trying to load the driver used by jockey instead (280.13) and causes an api mismatch...is there any way that i could stop the old module being loaded altogether?
[16:38] <Slagwag> ah maybe its - mv -i --reply=no SOURCE/* DEST
[16:38] <dimitris> I installed the cheese, but the camera doesn't work.
[16:39] <dimitris> The picture freezes.
[16:39] <netsurf3> but you get an image?
[16:39] <dimitris> A fuzzy image.
[16:39] <netsurf3> if you go into the preferences is there more than one option for the webcam?
[16:40] <netsurf3> sometimes linux is weird and accesses the cam through two devices. The wrong one gives you those problems
[16:40] <dimitris> Let me check...  since I am very new, please tell me where to find the preferences.
[16:41] <hateb> password is to osimple, kill me someone :)
[16:42] <hateb> maybe I wanna have simple password
[16:43] <go8765> hateb, ubuntu better know what password you  need :)
[16:43] <Sideev> netsurf3: I don't have much of information on that. can you provide me little more information on where can I find the patches & all?
[16:43] <hateb> maybe it does but I still should be able to use weak password if I want to
[16:43] <hateb> and since when 6 char password is so simple
[16:44] <dimitris> Where do we find the preferences for the cheese?
[16:44] <urlin2u> hateb, in case you don't know freewill is a illusion.
[16:44] <manuel_> hello guys, i have an ubuntu derivated distro, how may i force the spanish locale trough the terminal?
[16:45] <Resistance> manuel_:  "ubuntu derived" distro?
[16:45] <Resistance> manuel_:  do you mean mint?
[16:45] <hateb> you wanna start filozofical discussion here, really :)?
[16:45] <hateb> ok, thx for help guys
[16:45] <xangua> manuel_: ask in your distro channel/forum/stack exchange
[16:45] <manuel_> Resistance: yes xd
[16:45] <Resistance> !mint | manuel_
[16:46] <dimitris> Please help us newbies find the preferences for Cheese.
[16:46] <manuel_> xangua: the commands will be the same!
[16:46] <Resistance> manuel_:  ask in that location, or go onto mint forums, or stackexchange
[16:46] <netsurf3> dimitris, hmm just had a look through and found the patch you'd probably need. I sincerly doubt it would work nicely with anything though as you need the 3.2 kernel (which i currently know nothing about) the regression was ment to be introduced in 2.6.37 so if you can find a kernel lower than that the issue should not be present
[16:46] <urlin2u> hateb, its not philosophy think about it.
[16:47] <alexhanh> hi, ideas why i'm getting sub-process returned an error code? http://www.pastie.org/private/sjt97jmkbkefvv3qkwcka
[16:47] <manuel_> Resistance: OMG, i think that policy is unfair, taking in account that they are almost the same and that i am seeking for command line help
[16:48] <prower> anyone have any idea as to how i could disable the nvidia dkms module from being loaded on boot? without removing dkms altogether that is :<
[16:48] <m_fulder> hello
[16:48] <dimitris> So, can we find out if we have the 3.2 kernel without breaking our heads?
[16:48] <aendruk> How can I access the files beneath a mountpoint? I tried using 'mkdir /newpath; mount --bind /mountpoint /newpath', but /newpath still contains the files from the filesystem mounted at /mountpoint, not the files stored on the disk within the folder /mountpoint.
[16:48] <xangua> dimitris: uname -a
[16:48] <MonkeyDust> dimitris  uname -r
[16:48] <Resistance> manuel_:  if you have an issue with the policies, its generally not my decision.  Mint isnt a supported derivative of ubuntu, hence why we have the factoid
[16:48] <netsurf3> dimitris, what distro are you running inc the codename?
[16:48] <m_fulder> I wonder, if I have some folders containing shortcuts to other folders/files. Can I somehow create a zip archive of thoes but still have the shortcuts-structure?
[16:49] <m_fulder> i.e. so the zip will contain shortcuts instead of the files the shortcuts are pointing to?
[16:49] <dimitris> I have the 3.0.0-14-generic
[16:51] <dimitris> So, does that mean we can use the patch?
[16:52] <dany75> ciao
[16:52] <dany75> !list
[16:52] <alexhanh> alexhanh: for some reason I had removed /tmp -- creating it solved the problem
[16:54] <Resistance> manuel_:  here's the lists of othe supported derivatives.  only those derivatives are supported in the Ubuntu IRC channels: http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/derivatives
[16:55] <netsurf3> dimitris, just looking into this for you
[16:56] <vinny> ubuntu One is buggy
[16:56] <leequarella> I have a program that I installed via `sudo make install` (the program is wkhtmltopdf) but it is failing to execute and I think it may be a permission problem.  are apps in the /bin dir globally accessable?
[16:58] <MonkeyDust> vinny  thank you for informing us
[16:58] <m_fulder> anyone? can I create a zip contingin shortcuts?
[16:59] <Olafur> good after noon, I was wondering if someone knew how i can get some sound on ubuntu 11.10  for some reason nothing hears out of the speakers
[16:59] <rcmaehl> Okay I have a pc in which the grub appears to be deleted as the pc just blinks and never gets past BIOS because the HDD doesn't seem bootable. How do I reinstall grub from a inside liveusb?
[16:59] <vinny> MonkeyDust  you want to know why?
[16:59] <xrdodrx> leequarella, they should be, but it's possible it isn't readable by you. what's the output of ls -l /bin ?
[17:00] <MonkeyDust> vinny  i don't use it
[17:00] <xrdodrx> !bug | vinny
[17:00] <teage> If i compile a program like say, qt version 4.7 and install to home folder, is that some how different than the default install using sudo apt-get?? It installed just fine but another program that depends on it will not compile and is complaining that I need ffmpeg when I know its already installed.
[17:01] <roberto> j
[17:01] <xrdodrx> teage, it's much different. Did you install with sudo make install, sudo checkinstall or did you install without root and changed your --prefix?
[17:01] <nightshade209> rcmaehl: try this: http://ubuntuguide.net/how-to-restore-grub-2-after-reinstalling-windows-xpvistawin7 (usual disclaimers apply - be careful etc etc)
[17:02] <rcmaehl> nightshade209: I didn't install windows though
[17:02] <rcmaehl> all I did was remove bootchat and rebooted
[17:02] <nightshade209> rcmaehl: yes, but the procedure for recovering grub2 might still work
[17:03] <teage> xrdodrx, cant even get to the install part. wont get past config and my prefix is this........../configure --prefix=/usr/local/tupi --with-qtdir=/home/teage/qt/qt
[17:03] <netsurf3> dimitris, okay possible easy fix
[17:03] <xrdodrx> rcmaehl, install grub via "grub-install /dev/sda", where /dev/sda is your boot disk
[17:03] <netsurf3> dimitris, you said your machine is a tablet
[17:03] <rcmaehl> xrdodrx: I have a seperate boot partition
[17:04] <netsurf3> does it have a keyboard?
[17:04] <rcmaehl> and nightshade209's link should work
[17:04] <rcmaehl> i think  :\
[17:04] <xrdodrx> rcmaehl, it accepts partitions as arguments as well
[17:04] <nightshade209> rcmaehl: i had screwed up my grub2 sometime, it usually works...
[17:04] <rcmaehl> ubuntu 11.10 uses grub2 right?
[17:04] <induz>  I have 512MB of two bar memory...I tried to change them with 512 DDR2 RAM...is it possible...r they the same??
[17:04] <nightshade209> rcmaehl: there's one in the ubuntu documentation somewhere, can't seem to find that tho
[17:05] <rcmaehl> not grub?
[17:05] <nightshade209> rcmaehl: yup, grub2
[17:05] <induz> is pc2 type RAM is similar to DDR memori sticks
[17:05] <hateb> anyone else have a problem with f.lux on ubuntu ?
[17:05] <xrdodrx> induz, No.
[17:06] <Pici> induz: no, and ##hardware please
[17:06] <QuantumQuanta> What directory should I stick my self-created scripts into so that they are on the $PATH and can be run without hassle?
[17:06] <xrdodrx> QuantumQuanta, whatever folder you want, then add that folder to your path
[17:06] <QuantumQuanta> xrdodrx: There's not a standard way of doing it?
[17:06] <Pici> QuantumQuanta: Often ~/bin/ is often used.
[17:07] <induz> ok
[17:07] <xrdodrx> QuantumQuanta, PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.scripts is what I use
[17:07] <xrdodrx> put that in your .bashrc
[17:07] <QuantumQuanta> xrdodrx: thanks, that was my next questino
[17:07] <induz> i have 1 GB RAM on this desktop... is it ok to rumUbuntu 10
[17:08] <nightshade209> induz: yes
[17:08] <xrdodrx> induz, you might want to use 10.04 LTS as 10.10 is EOL
[17:09] <xrdodrx> oh, nevermind
[17:09] <xrdodrx> It's not EOL yet, sorry
[17:09] <nightshade209> induz: xrdodrx: i am running 11.10 on 1GB RAM, works fine
[17:10] <K-4U> Soo. i´ve got an issue here with a bash script. It works on one pc, but doesn´t on the other
[17:11] <K-4U> http://paste.pocoo.org/show/530960/ <-- who can help me?
[17:13] <netsurf3> dimitris, okay we have several options you can try: 1) when you next start the computer up select the option from grub and press E to edit the boot option. Go to the end of the line where it says "splash quite" after this bit add  "pcie_aspm=force" it is important you dont add or delete anything else to these lines. press ctrl-x and see if that makes things work better.
[17:14] <netsurf3> 2) there is a repo you can add that potentially fixes the problem automagically
[17:14] <netsurf3> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1874306&page=4
[17:14] <netsurf3> https://launchpad.net/~ptn107/+archive/ppa <- the ppa with the kernel already patched
[17:15] <zivester> i have a 128gb SSD, is 20gb big enough for /, while having /home for the rest ?
[17:15] <xrdodrx> zivester, I use 10GB
[17:16] <K-4U> Letmetry again... Is there somebody here who can look at this output en tell me what is happening? http://paste.pocoo.org/show/530960/
[17:16] <Pici> zivester: Yes, that should be fine.
[17:17] <robbbie> K-4U: what are you wondering?
[17:17] <K-4U> robbbie: What what do you mean?
[17:17] <zivester> do I use an MBR or GUID for the Scheme?  I'm formatting manually because I'm migrating
[17:18] <Awumpa> Hi. When I am trying to install ubuntu I get to this screen (http://i.imgur.com/rofXk.jpg) but when I try to start I have no input on the monitor. I get a boot sound, but no input. Anyone know what's wrong?
[17:18] <robbbie> K-4U: i am looking at your paste..
[17:18] <h00k> Awumpa: what version of Ubuntu is that?
[17:18] <K-4U> robbbie: Well, why does it work on one pc, but not on the other, while it is the exact same file?
[17:18] <Awumpa> 11.10
[17:18] <h00k> Awumpa: what graphics card do you have?
[17:18] <Awumpa> 6150SE
[17:19] <dimitris> netsurf3 thank you very much for the big help untill now ! I will try it later and i will come some time in again. Thank you again !
[17:20] <h00k> Awumpa: try by verifying the USB, first, then maybe someone familiar with that issue can help, alternatively, I'll throw you a factoid about nvidia
[17:20] <h00k> !nvidia | Awumpa
[17:21] <robbbie> K-4U: paste stat /etc/openvpn/up.sh from both
[17:21] <Olafur> so i dont repost, did someone see what i wrote? had connection problems,,, have problem with my sound
[17:21] <h00k> Olafur: you can repost, otherwise it's really hard to keep track of what people said in the past
[17:21] <Awumpa> Fairly new, but how would I get to the terminal if Ubuntu won't launch properly?
[17:22] <krinetic> fuck you guys
[17:22] <K-4U> robbbie: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/530963/ <-- must say that i have just updated the file, because somehow the working pc has the files in /usr/sbin, and the not working has them in /sbin
[17:23] <h00k> Awumpa: you should be able to test integrity from that boot menu
[17:23] <go8765> Olafur, yea. Its bettaer to repost
[17:23] <go8765> *better
[17:23] <Awumpa> When I go into advanced options there are no other options
[17:24] <robbbie> K-4U: rm stat.sh on the one that isn't working and recreate it. first see the output of file up.sh for each as well
[17:24] <robbbie> K-4U: i mean up.sh
[17:24] <Olafur> hello,, am i connected here?
[17:25] <xrdodrx> Olafur, yes
[17:25] <robbbie> K-4U: file type should be 'regular' file, as you can see there is some weird stuff going on with stat. `up.sh' should be the file, also its 4 bytes bigger.. maybe some null bytes? dunno
[17:25] <xrdodrx> .31
[17:26] <K-4U> robbbie: ¨Normaal bestand¨ means ¨regular file¨. Sorry, thought i had the setup in english.. It´s dutch ;)
[17:27] <robbbie> K-4U: oh :)
[17:27] <ForNickAteHer> Clicked the 'part all' button by mistake but noticed highlighted windows...did someone mention me here before I left?
[17:27] <Remy> Hey guys. :)
[17:27] <K-4U> robbbie: Okay.. weird, it works now... :\
[17:28] <xrdodrx> ForNickAteHer, your nick hasn't been mentioned in this room for the last 12 hours
[17:28] <Olafur> ok, finally got connected to xchat
[17:28] <Olafur> I have problem with my sound, there isnt any. there doesnt seem to be a missing plug in or driver
[17:28] <docmur> How do you compile against the included mongo c driver for ubuntu, it's in the apt-get repository
[17:28] <K-4U> robbbie: Or, at least, it doesn´t give me any weird errors now :\
[17:28] <ForNickAteHer> xrdodrx thanks
[17:28] <K-4U> robbbie: Okay! And my openvpn server started! :D Thanks! :)
[17:28] <Olafur> I am running on ubuntu 11.10, mother board is gigabyte and graphics card is nVidia
[17:29] <opalepatrick> Recently installed ubuntu 11.10, just getting around to sorting out sound out problem. I noticed with ekiga and tried sound recorder. No sound. So where do I go to start sorting it?
[17:29] <acidfrost> docmur, apt-get source nameofpackage
[17:29] <Olafur> all are recent
[17:29] <docmur> I have it installed
[17:29] <docmur> I just need to know how to compile against it
[17:29] <opalepatrick> I can hear fine (using headphones)
[17:29] <Olafur> graph card and mother board
[17:29] <docmur> I've always used the source directly
[17:30] <acidfrost> docmur, compile against something means relatively little to me you'd have to elaborate
[17:31] <docmur> compile against as in use gcc to compile against a library, hence compile against
[17:32] <acidfrost> docmur, -L/path/to/lib
[17:32] <Remy> Will Xubuntu 11.10 recognize my Intel's drivers on an ASUS netbook (Eee PC 1001PXD)?  I can't get my system to detect my drivers (if netbooks even have any drivers worth installing).  Also, how can I force Xubuntu to give me Read AND Write permissions to my Windows partition?
[17:32] <induz> ok
[17:32] <Olafur> I have problem with my sound, there isnt any. there doesnt seem to be a missing plug in or driver
[17:32] <Olafur> I am running on ubuntu 11.10, mother board is gigabyte and graphics card is nVidia
[17:32] <xrdodrx> Remy, have you installed it yet?
[17:32] <xrdodrx> It should.
[17:33] <Remy> Nope.  I go to Additional Drivers, and it doesn't detect anything.  It just says something like "There are no available drivers to be installed."
[17:35] <urlin2u> Remy, is the live cd running good? ubuntu will automatically have read write access to windows.
[17:36] <Remy> Oh, it's a netbook.  I don't have a CD-ROM drive.
[17:36] <jare1> hi
[17:36] <urlin2u> Remy, right are you running a live desktop?
[17:37] <jare1> How can I change the default selection color (which is red-is) ?
[17:38] <Remy> urlin2u, I am not, but I am intrigued how using a Live USB would allow my Xubuntu partition to gain permanent Read AND Write access to my Windows partition.  You see, I want to run my Windows programs through Wine, but I've run into problems in the past because I didn't have Write permissions.
[17:39] <urlin2u> Remy, I know nothing about wine... a dual boot is a better solution in my personal opinion. Make sure when you post that all the variables are posted rather then oh by the way when I said windows I meant wine.
[17:40] <Olafur> does anyone know how to get sound on ubuntu 11.10, i am starting to think im missing a driver, but i cant seem to find it
[17:40] <urlin2u> !sound | Olafur
[17:41] <athlon3d> Where to send a bugreport?
[17:41] <urlin2u> !bug
[17:41] <Olafur> ubottu: thanks, ill go over those sites and figure things out
[17:41] <Olafur> did not know tat
[17:42] <Remy> urlin2u, Well yeah, but both are important to each other.  I can't run my Windows programs through Wine if I can't write "executable file" permissions on my programs.
[17:43] <Remy> It's like this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Security/ExecutableBit
[17:43] <Yaktrack5> hi evrydody
[17:43] <athlon3d> I find it in bluetooth...
[17:44] <Remy> hey Yaktrack5.
[17:44] <rts>  hi all, i have a question about 1gbit nics + ubuntu in general. i have here a built in RTL based nic which tends to drop frames when sending data over the network... which nics do you recommend in order to achieve high transfer rates (>40MB/sec)?
[17:44] <athlon3d> Can anybody try to send file to bluetoth device named Jheng wai GSM/"/"
[17:44] <athlon3d> ?
[17:44] <Yaktrack5> hi remy
[17:45] <Yaktrack5> I don't know rts
[17:46] <Yaktrack5> byed
[17:46] <Yaktrack5> bye*
[17:48] <urlin2u> Remy, All I can say is I don't know why people even use wine, there are other options, at the worse a 2 min reboot time.
[17:50] <Remy> urlin2u, Okay. Thanks dude. Would you know of any other apps that I can use to play my Windows games on Xubuntu?
[17:50] <MrPockets> What port does apt need open outbound to update?
[17:51] <rts> apt requires either port 80 when using http or 20/21 when using ftp...
[17:51] <Olafur> for some reasons those advises did not work
[17:51] <bluegrue> Remy; have you tried running them under virtualbox or something?
[17:52] <Olafur> it is impossible to get any sound... every thing is plugged in, not on mute and no sound
[17:52] <urlin2u> Remy, I'm not a gner so I'm not familiar with stuff there is something called playonlinux you might look at.
[17:52] <urlin2u> gamer
[17:52] <rts> MrPockets: or a custom port, depending on whether you are using a local mirror and that mirror is configured to another port other than standard http or ftp
[17:52] <Remy> Oh! I forgot about virtualbox. I'll have to install that later.  Cool, thanks for the tips, urlin2u and bluegrue
[17:52] <Remy> Gtg. bye!
[17:53] <urlin2u> Remy, cool I assumed you had thought of a virtual.
[17:55] <robde> hi. I have my first server. it is ubuntu 9.10
[17:56] <robde> and i'm wondering why there are almost no packages available in apt-get?
[17:56] <Olafur> aha, Im missing the sound file for ubuntu 11.10, where can i get it?
[17:56] <tota-x>  8181
[17:56] <Pupuser-2> hi...can many Linux distros share 1 swap partition
[17:57]  * crack05 is away (Gone)
[17:57] <who_me> robde, ubuntu 9.10 reached end of life and is not supported since april 2011
[17:58] <robde> who_me, is it possible to update remotely to a supported version of ubuntu?
[17:59] <citadelgrad> Any recommendations for IRC clients? I'm using XChat and want to hide all the noise.
[17:59] <xangua> !eol | robde
[17:59] <OneSquared> Hello, i installed apache, php and mysql. I added file index.php. But when i open browser. i see tag php... Do you know why ? I don't find a good conf for httpd or php.ini
[18:00] <who_me> robde, never did an upgrade remotely nor would I attempt to :/
[18:00] <Olafur> also, I would like to get wobbly windows working, does anyone know how to do that on ubuntu 11.10
[18:00] <citadelgrad> OneSquared: You should enable PHP in apache.
[18:00] <oCean> citadelgrad: right click on the channeltab, settings > hide
[18:00] <OneSquared> citadelgrad, How enable php ? Where ?
[18:00] <who_me> robde, for server stuff it is a very good idea to use LTS releases. 10.04 is the latest one and there will be 12.04 later this year.
[18:01] <rts> robde: i have done multiple upgrades and dist-upgrades on my vserver until canonical/ubuntu decided to remove the existing older distributions from their apt repository... i worked quite well, even with the limitations of the vserver
[18:01] <citadelgrad> OneSquared: Enable in the apached configure files.
[18:02] <Olafur> I am missing the sound file on ubuntu 11.10, where/ how can I get it?
[18:02] <devmikey> Question: Does ubuntu.org offer paid support like redhat does?
[18:02] <magpii> i recently unchecked the show menus option in preferences menu, how can i add it again
[18:02] <oCean> OneSquared: if you've install php5 properly it should have enabled the php5 apache module. But you can enable it anyway:  sudo a2enmod php5, then restart apache
[18:03] <OneSquared> Sorry citadelgrad but i'm a nood in unix admin. Can you tell me how to do exactly?
[18:03] <oCean> devmikey: yes, by Canonical: http://www.ubuntu.com/business/services/overview
[18:03] <crx890> oCean, i think it depends on by which order are those things installed.
[18:03] <OneSquared> oCean, Ok thanks
[18:03] <magpii> what i mean is, where u can decide what is shown in menus, i unchecked the menus option by mistake
