[09:14] <dr_willis> xenland:  i noticed that with a great many apps just today
[09:14] <SetiAmon> reisio:  How would i go about specifyinga model in alsa-base.conf?
[09:14] <K-Rich> or cononical should allow us to downgrade X so it works
[09:14] <xenland> dr_willis: glad I have someone whom can verify this
[09:14] <reisio> SetiAmon: usually there're examples in comments in the file
[09:14] <xenland> dr_willis: now just to find the perfences for gnome to change this setting....
[09:14] <reisio> SetiAmon: the list of model values can be found...
[09:15] <SetiAmon> my problem is even turning the volume gnob cuases the sound to echo into a staticy tearing sound
[09:15] <SetiAmon> reisio:  can you walk me threw that,were would i go for that .i have a x-fi
[09:15] <reisio> SetiAmon: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto covers it some
[09:16] <dr_willis> xenland:  actually just now in arista. it did just default back to the last directory i accessed...
[09:16] <crash1hd> phiscibe, what does that do?
[09:16] <xenland> dr_willis: interesting... any thoughts what made the diff?
[09:16] <phiscibe> reconfigures all the packages on the sytem
[09:16] <dr_willis> xenland:  seems like its some how defaulting to selecting 'recently used'   when i first opened it and there was no selection to make.
[09:17] <SetiAmon> i'll try it i have only been awake for 2 days
[09:17] <dr_willis> xenland:  this is in arista
[09:17] <crash1hd> phiscibe, ok should it take time?
[09:17] <Stanley00> reisio: I have run that command, but I show up as GNOME classic session, not gnome 3 as I want. Can you suggest something else?
[09:17] <Kruptein> Hey  I've just installed the new ubuntu (like a lot of you)  but I want to do a fresh install so I downloaded the iso and burned it,  but before I overwrite my current system I want to know whether there are options to keep my current files?  and/or get a list with all programs that I have installed
[09:18] <Stanley00> !clone | Kruptein
[09:18] <Evilkiss> Hi to everyone!
[09:18] <crash1hd> phiscibe, cause I just ran it and it took less then 30 seconds
[09:18] <dr_willis> xenland:  thats how it worked for me in gedit.. first time i open file.. went to recently used.. selected a file. hit open again. it defaulted back to where  that file was at
[09:18] <crash1hd> phiscibe, but it didnt do anything
[09:18] <marw> how do i edit "indicator-me" menu? it's cluttered.
[09:18] <xenland> dr_willis:thanks I'll try it out
[09:18] <dr_willis> xenland:  let me try selecting a file FROM the recently used list
[09:18] <Evilkiss> Can somebody help me with ubuntu?
[09:18] <nicl> Hey all, just upgraded to 11.10 and now my internet speed is really really slow. I'm dual booting on a windows laptop and the internet works great under Windows so it must be something to do with the upgrade
[09:19] <dr_willis> xenland:  it defaulted to where the file was actually at.. not recently used that time also.
[09:19] <Stanley00> Evilkiss: just ask your question.
[09:19] <dr_willis> xenland:  so it 'seems' to be working properly.
[09:19] <Kruptein> Stanley00: okay thanks and do you have any idea about keeping my files in my home dir?  I found this http://askubuntu.com/questions/5551/clean-install-from-ubuntu-10-04-to-lubuntu-10-10-without-losing-data    so that should be okay I guess?
[09:20] <Kruptein> with okay I mean that ubuntu can run the new version without any changes
[09:20] <xenland> dr_willis: that doesn't quite work but I think I will drag my working folders into the favs area for opening files that just work almost if not just as good as what i was doing before
[09:20] <Stanley00> Kruptein: is your /home on a diff partition?
[09:20] <Kruptein> !automate
[09:20] <nicl> so, anyone else had wireless/internet speed problems as a result of the upgrade? Any suggestions on troubleshooting /
[09:20] <xenland> I guess its called bookmarks not favorites
[09:21] <Kruptein> Stanley00: no .. :f
[09:21] <K-Rich> ubottu, you could also: dpkg -l | grep ^ii | awk '{print $2}' > installed.list    then on reinstall: sudo apt get install `cat install.list`
[09:21] <xenland> nicl, not yet I'm LAN tho
[09:21] <Kruptein> okay I guess I need to copy everything to a seperate drive then?
[09:21] <Stanley00> Kruptein: then the only way I can suggest is backup your /home to some where else, then recover after you install new Ubuntu
[09:21] <nicl> xenland: ok, thanks for letting me know
[09:21] <Evilkiss> I have two computers, one of these is laptop and second is desktop. Desktop computer is connect to router via LAN and laptop via WLAN. When I shut down a desktop computer,  I can't access to Internet by laptop computer. Where is a problem?
[09:22] <Kruptein> Stanley00: I was afraid I had too :p  but thanks anywya
[09:22] <GirlyGirl> K-Rich: Ubottu asked you for help ... that was funny
[09:22] <Kruptein> *anyway :f
[09:22] <SgrA> I'm using Xubuntu, upgrading to 11.10 and would like to try out Unity. How can I install it?
[09:22] <Stanley00> Kruptein: no problem ;)
[09:22] <GirlyGirl> SgrA: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[09:23] <SgrA> Okay, thanks.
[09:23] <GirlyGirl> SgrA: Then at login screen select "ubuntu" as session type
[09:23] <xenland> nicl: I just tryed connecting through wifi and it dosen't work It dosen't even show an animating icon so im assuming it can even initate a request for wifi... aka broken drivers maybe
[09:23] <xenland> can't*
[09:23] <GirlyGirl> xenland: try "iwlist scan" and see the output
[09:23] <K-Rich> GirlyGirl, yeah i realized i was meaning to say that to Kruptein
[09:23] <nicl> xenland: Ok, well for me it connects ok, just very very slow ;( as in 1995 slow
[09:23] <illmortal> >_> is it possible that GRUB2 is broken from installing it onto the usb stick?
[09:24] <marw> so, no way to edit "indicator-me" icons and sections?
[09:24] <xenland> GirlyGirl: lo        Interface doesn't support scanning.
[09:24] <xenland> eth3      Interface doesn't support scanning.
[09:24] <xenland> eth2      Interface doesn't support scanning.
[09:24] <K-Rich> GirlyGirl, 2:23am, i have an excuse :P
[09:24] <crash1hd> phiscibe, thankyou for the help (I did a little more googling and found out and tried seems that python-glade2 was not installed) no idea why it wouldnt be again 2 machines identical other then hardware checked both 1 had it 1 didnt now they both have it and guess what it works :) so thanks again
[09:25] <crash1hd> IS there a way to print out what is installed on an ubuntu machine?
[09:26] <crash1hd> into like a text file
[09:26] <reisio> crash1hd: dpkg -l
[09:26] <Evilkiss> It is very odd problem, because on the desktop computer i have windows OS too, when I shut down computer via Windows OS, I have no problem to connect to Internet via laptop computer...
[09:26] <illmortal> First time I've ever had a problem doing a clean install of Ubuntu. What a shame. =\
[09:27] <Evilkiss> Can somebody help me?
[09:27] <K-Rich> crash1hd, dpkg -l | grep ^ii | awk '{print $2}'
[09:27] <dr_willis> !clone
[09:28] <reisio> K-Rich: that work without egrep?
[09:28] <K-Rich> crash1hd, dpkg -l | grep ^ii | awk '{print $2}' > installed.list
[09:28] <reisio> honestly I think using dpkg -l is simpler :p
[09:28] <K-Rich> hmmmmm, isn't grep part of standard install ?
[09:28] <reisio> K-Rich: yup
[09:28] <iceroot> how to look at the dependecies of a not installed package with apt-get/aptitude?
[09:28] <llutz_> iceroot: apt-cache depends packaename
[09:29] <reisio> guess it does
[09:29] <K-Rich> reisio: dpkg -l gives other info as well, what i showed lists only the package names
[09:29] <iceroot> llutz_: thx
[09:29] <crash1hd> thanks reisio and K-Rich :)
[09:29] <Axlin> crash1hd: dpkg --set-selections '*' > ~/installed-packages is another way to do it. Perhaps easier to remember. :-)
[09:29] <reisio> K-Rich: I mean dpkg -l instead of that aptitude insanity
[09:29] <Axlin> crash1hd: Sorry, I meant dpkg --get-selections.
[09:30] <crash1hd> Axlin, would that make a shorter list?
[09:30] <illmortal> finally!!! Grub installed. -.- now the fun begins, hopefully.
[09:30] <lupine_85> so, um. How on earth does one add extra workspaces under unity?
[09:30] <llutz_> Axlin: no '*' needed
[09:31] <indieross> grrr so i did something to my 10.10 system so now clicking on files does nothing, i can load programs to interact with files but i cannot do anything with files simply by clicking them
[09:31] <arpu> hello can somebody confirm this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/874897 ?
[09:31] <lupine_85> right-clicking the workspace switcher in the task? bar gives no options!
[09:31] <indieross> any ideas
[09:32] <iceroot> where are the package-keys stored? so that "apt-get source thunderbird" can check if the rsa-key is correct?
[09:32] <dr_willis> lupine_85:  used tobe the ccsm tool. under general tab - was  a way to add them
[09:33] <lupine_85> ah, it's using compiz under the hood?
[09:33] <K-Rich> Axlin, why add the '*'  works w/o it, also that displays installed, if you only want package names you would still want to us | awk '{print $1}'
[09:33] <dr_willis> lupine_85:  unity uses compiz - yes.
[09:33] <dr_willis> lupine_85:  theres a unity compiz pluin
[09:33] <dr_willis> brb.
[09:33] <virusz> gnome shell has better responses for me at least
[09:33] <llutz_> Axlin: K-Rich dpkg --get-selections    makes only sense it you want to feed the list to --set-selections later
[09:34] <itai_michaelson> hi, is it possible to make a deb out of a program i have installed on my system (this version is no longer available in the repo, but i want to use it on another system)?
[09:34] <lupine_85> yep, that works - thanks
[09:34] <lupine_85> back up to 9 :)

[09:43] <dr_willis> jackoriper:  Huh? can you clarify that question a bit more.
[09:43] <K-Rich> jackoriper, both of those will allow you to have GDM (ie normal login screen) in a window
[09:44] <jackoriper> K-Rich: how it can be help to me then ?
[09:44] <indieross> so i did something to my 10.10 system so now clicking on files does nothing, i can load programs to interact with files but i cannot do anything with files simply by clicking them
[09:45] <robinsch> ji
[09:45] <robinsch> hi*
[09:45] <indieross> jello
[09:45] <dr_willis> indieross:  as a test. you could make a new user. see if their desktop works normally
[09:45] <K-Rich> jackoriper, you said "...or can i have 2 gui login active at same time?"
[09:45] <robinsch> I am on new ubuntu 11.10 and I want to add myself to wireshark group, how do I do that with new settings?
[09:45] <jackoriper> K-Rich:  which is best of these two ?
[09:45] <qinn> Hey, does someone know where are menus in gnome-shell?
[09:45] <pvh_sa> albech, its set to thunderbird there, and when i go to'mail' it does the right thing but still i see an Evolution link. i wonder where that thing is configured....
[09:45] <micke_> sorry to say, but the new ubunu is what vista was for windows....  how do i remove unitu&gnome3 _
[09:46] <K-Rich> jackoriper, either should work, i haven't needed it for years
[09:46] <dr_willis> qinn:  move mouse to top left. use the applications or whatever 2 items it shows down to the right a little bit..
[09:46] <robinsch> i am thinking about switch to lts if the stable versions of ubuntu will be this buggy
[09:46] <dr_willis> qinn:  theres a gnome shell extension to add a more normal type  gnome menu to the top panel
[09:46] <K-Rich> qinn, upper left corner... Activities
[09:47] <qinn> dr_willis: Nah, window menu: File About Etc
[09:47] <hje841> to add apps to the panel in Ubuntu Classic in 11.10 -> Alt+Right Click
[09:47] <dr_willis> qinn:  Hmm..  with global menu - they should be at the top panel once you mouse up there.
[09:48] <hje841> how do I turn on the cam?
[09:48] <indieross> dr_willis a new user account works
[09:48] <dr_willis> qinn:  i dident think gnome-shell used global menu however.
[09:48] <indieross> know how to fix it on my current account
[09:48] <robinsch> no there is no gui front end for group management in new ubuntu 11.10?
[09:48] <dr_willis> indieross:  so your users settings got something messed up. thats a good sign at least. You could clean out their settings.
[09:48] <qinn> dr_willis: If i click "Terminal" it tell me to close it ;) Anyway, can live without menus
[09:48] <jackoriper> by god's grace if there would have been any method to lock workspace 1,2,3,4 with password..............i could have been blessed ... hope u know what for i am asking for
[09:48] <K-Rich> hje841, what do you mean 'turn on the cam' ?
[09:48] <windparadise>  hello, pls anyone know Japan Ubuntu Channel? or any Japanese around here?
[09:49] <K-Rich> hje841, i use cheese for pics and recording videos
[09:49] <albech> pvh_sa, im not entirely sure where it is that you see this evolution link.. mind explaining again?
[09:49] <hje841> K-Rich: in a website with some flash chat with games and such, there's a feature to use a cam, but I can't get on
[09:49] <kennyken> do we have VDPAU support for all relevant applications in Oneiric Ocelot?
[09:49] <dr_willis> qinn:  im not in gnome-shell right now to test. but i dont recall the gnome shell using global menu. so  i saw mine where they normally are :)
[09:49] <jackoriper> just any person who approach me for access my laptop for time being , i would just give him any workspace that is free
[09:50] <dr_willis> !brainstorm
[09:50] <reisio> windparadise: /msg alis list *ubunt*jp
[09:50] <qinn> dr_willis: New, default font is great success, I think I will upgrade. No worries.
[09:50] <virusz> gnome shell doesnt use global menu..menu located in aplication
[09:50] <robinsch> kind of odd since in GNU/Linux group management is core part of file security
[09:51] <K-Rich> hje841, did it ask for access to cam? flash that is?
[09:51] <llutz_> robinsch: whats wrong with adduser/addgroup/usermod?
[09:51] <hje841> K-Rich: the settings feature doesn't work in that flash thingy
[09:52] <Yamauchi> installer seems jacked for me...
[09:52] <windparadise> reisio the nickname "alist" does not exist
[09:52] <canarian_21> hello!
[09:52] <reisio> windparadise: alis, not alist
[09:52] <dr_willis> qinn:  never noticed it was a new one :) been using it on my old setups and even my android phone
[09:52] <reisio> windparadise: don't ask me why they chose such a poor name
[09:53] <canarian_21> i installed Ubuntu 11.10 32 bit. I could not find VirtualBox OSE and Sun Java from software Center. Are they removed from Software center?
[09:54] <albech> canarian_21, did you enable parter repos?
[09:54] <canarian_21> albech yes.
[09:54] <K-Rich> hje841, ummmm maybe under System > Preferences > Adobe Flash Player ?
[09:54] <albech> canarian_21, did you apt-get update?
[09:54] <dr_willis> !java
[09:54] <reisio> canarian_21: it's called virtualbox now
[09:54] <reisio> oh no it isn't, sorry
[09:54] <pratz> hey guys what is the best pdf tool for ubuntu ??
[09:55] <dr_willis> java is mentioned here -> http://www.webupd8.org/2011/10/things-to-tweak-after-installing-ubuntu.html
[09:55] <reisio> canarian_21: in universe, though
[09:55] <reisio> pratz: for doing what
[09:55] <albech> pratz, best for what?
[09:55] <pratz> i have a pdf and it contains text fields, i need to change the name of the text fields, how can i do that ??
[09:55] <hje841> K-Rich: the systems menu is not there in 11.10
[09:55] <reisio> pratz: pdfedit
[09:55] <robinsch> llutz_:  usermod looks interesting,  but how can i see what groups a user already belongs to without opening /etc/passwd or /etc/group files
[09:55] <canarian_21> albech yes for pat cache
[09:55] <llutz_> robinsch: getent group user
[09:56] <pratz> reisio: hey dude i have pdf edit but i can not find text field on it
[09:56] <reisio> pratz: sure it doesn't just look like a text field?
[09:56] <albech> canarian_21, sudo apt-get install virtualbox should work
[09:56] <robinsch> llutz_: I guess that works to me, i still miss the old gui
[09:57] <pratz> reisio: how do i add a text field in pdf edit ??
[09:57] <reisio> pratz: no idea, but you should be able to edit one in the tree view on the right
[09:58] <llutz_> robinsch: better to use "adduser user group" to add a user to a group than using usermod, which easily messes things up if you do it wrong
[09:58] <reisio> better to use gpasswd
[09:58] <K-Rich> hje841, look here and see if you can set the site to allow. http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager06.html
[09:58] <crash1hd> Is there a way of knowing the name of a program that was used to create a img file it was saved to file.img.gz and inside its just file.img?
[09:59] <dr_willis> crash1hd:  i doubt it. a .img file could be most anything..
[09:59] <reisio> crash1hd: does it matter?
[09:59] <canarian_21> Ubuntu has remove sun java from software center. And now what we gonna do ? We must install openjdk 7 and 6? I need Sun or oracle java 7 . I do not want add PPA on my system because sometimes they are not updating (after months).
[09:59] <dr_willis> canarian_21:  personally - im using openjdk7
[09:59] <voidr> hello, how can I easily customize lightdm?
[09:59] <AgentC> Hi
[09:59] <dr_willis> canarian_21:  if you need oracle java 7 - you go get it from their web site
[10:00] <reisio> AgentC: hi
[10:00] <eskizle-> hi
[10:00] <dr_willis> voidr:  theres a few unofficial lightdm tweaking tools out. saw them mentioned at the webupd8.org site
[10:00] <reisio> hi
[10:00] <eskizle-> i have ubuntu server
[10:00] <canarian_21> dr_willis is there any deb package from official site of oracle (or sun) which can update itself again from official site (like google does for chrome deb package)
[10:00] <eskizle-> i would like to install gnome on it to access it via vnc then
[10:00] <eskizle-> but i failed
[10:00] <voidr> thanks dr_willis
[10:01] <Calinou> one question, on unity it is possible to add a widget to show cpu/ram/network usage?
[10:01] <Calinou> like I used to do on gnome 2
[10:01] <crash1hd> reisio,  well I remember the program saying I would be able to mount the file
[10:01] <windparadise> 誰もが日本のここにしてくださいスピークス？
[10:01] <chroot> i forget my passwd
[10:01] <crash1hd> reisio, but for the life of me I cant remember the name of the program
[10:01] <Calinou> !ch | windparadise
[10:01] <reisio> crash1hd: mount -o loop ?
[10:01] <reisio> Calinou: jp :p
[10:01] <AgentC> I've an installed k-ubutu which makes problems, i dunno the root password. how can I get into a root-shell to change the password? i tried with a debian netinstall rescue mode, but it seems to, it cant mount the filesystem on sda1 but filesystem is ok so far.
[10:01] <eskizle-> i have an gnome interface via vnc server
[10:01] <eskizle-> but no menu
[10:01] <Calinou> ...german?
[10:01] <crash1hd> reisi, tried that says it needs to know the filetype
[10:01] <eskizle-> just a shell windwos
[10:01] <eskizle-> shell window
[10:02] <crash1hd> so I tried adding -t ext3
[10:02] <reisio> ch is for switzerland
[10:02] <reisio> zh is chinese
[10:02] <dr_willis> canarian_21:  no idea.  I am using the open sourced java.
[10:02] <reisio> but he's typing japanese
[10:02] <eskizle-> and when i type d it dont display it
[10:02] <eskizle-> :/
[10:02] <reisio> crash1hd: you shouldn't need to know the file type
[10:02] <dr_willis> Oracle is on my 'company to avoid' list :)

[10:02] <Stanley00> !jp | windparadise
[10:02] <hje841> K-Rich: sorry. no good :S
[10:03] <canarian_21> dr_willis me too but jdownloader is not working fine with openjdk 6 also with 7 :(
[10:03] <llutz_> crash1hd: if its a hdd-image you need losetup for the offset before you can mount partitions from it
[10:03] <reisio> crash1hd: try 9660 though I guess
[10:03] <chroot> help , i forget my passwd in ubuntu , and i can't login the sys, what should i do
[10:03] <crash1hd> llutz, ok how do I do that?
[10:03] <K-Rich> windparadise, 私はGoogle Translateを使用して試して使います
[10:03] <reisio> Stanley00: already told him that
[10:03] <dr_willis> !resetpassword
[10:03] <incorrect> does anyone else have ldap working from a fresh installation?
[10:04] <Kingsy> has anyone been using 11.10 in classical gnome?
[10:04] <reisio> chroot: https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/ubuntu-help/user-forgottenpassword.html
[10:04] <Kingsy> or have you guys just started using the new gnome system?
[10:04] <llutz_> crash1hd: losetup /dev/loop0 foo.img && fdisk -l /dev/loop0
[10:05] <chroot> reisio, thanks , i will go
[10:05] <llutz_> crash1hd: does it list partitions?
[10:05] <crash1hd> llutz, no its just a single partition
[10:05] <hje841> is 11.10 using Adobe Flash?
[10:05] <Flynsarmy> 11.10, gnome classic, ambiance theme. How can I fix these awful, 90's looking folder icons? http://i.imgur.com/A6O30.png
[10:06] <llutz_> crash1hd: i told you thats for HDD-images, not partition-images
[10:06] <Kingsy> Flynsarmy: are you using gnome classic on 11.10 ?
[10:06] <kennyken> do we have VDPAU support for all relevant applications in Oneiric Ocelot?
[10:06] <sherif_> Hello
[10:06] <Companion> hello shelest`
[10:06] <Companion> sherif_, *
[10:06] <reisio> Flynsarmy: change icon theme :p
[10:06] <sherif_> i've a problems
[10:06] <sherif_> in ubuntu 11.10
[10:07] <Kingsy> Flynsarmy: what do you think about it? cos I am not impressed at ALL.. the time is in the middle of the top bar.. it looks awful
[10:07] <Companion> sherif_, ask and be answered
[10:07] <Flynsarmy> Kingsy: yes. nvidia proprietry are installed and 3d etc works. Folders look fine on desktop and in nautilus but the open window uses these diff icons
[10:07] <Calinou> change the icon theme
[10:07] <Flynsarmy> Kingsy: you can edit that by holding alt while right clicking
[10:07] <sherif_> the bluetooth is not working though it's activated
[10:07] <Kingsy> oh yeah I see
[10:07] <Flynsarmy> Kingsy: I currently have classic looking identical to 10.10 :) set the sys tray to show all icons again...it's perfect. exactly how ti should be
[10:07] <crash1hd> llutz, ok so say it is a partition img. then what?
[10:07] <reisio> kennyken: mplayer does
[10:07] <sherif_> it worked in the beta edition
[10:08] <robinsch> llutz_:  I also remember old gui allowed me to disallow some access to certain things like tape drives: http://www.techotopia.com/index.php/Image:Ubuntu_linux_user_privileges2.jpg
[10:08] <sherif_> but now it's not
[10:08] <Kingsy> Flynsarmy: how do you set the sys tray?
[10:08] <reisio> crash1hd: then it probably wouldn't be asking you for the type
[10:08] <Flynsarmy> Kingsy: www.webupd8.org/2011/10/things-to-tweak-after-installing-ubuntu.html
[10:08] <Kingsy> thanks
[10:08] <llutz_> crash1hd: mount -o loop foo.img /mnt           if it doesn't work, its likely not a raw-image
[10:08] <kennyken> reisio, have you tried playing 1080p content and watched the cpu load?
[10:08] <llutz_> crash1hd: or simply broken
[10:09] <sherif_> and
[10:09] <reisio> kennyken: no, but you will notice the improvement
[10:09] <sherif_> when i wrote the command "hcitool scan
[10:09] <sherif_> there was no device
[10:09] <sherif_> :S
[10:09] <robinsch> llutz_: is that possible with cli?
[10:09] <reisio> sherif_: you should try to use the GUI configuration wizard
[10:09] <kennyken> reisio, thanks for this information
[10:09] <reisio> sherif_: the commandline tools are a mess right now
[10:09] <Kingsy> Flynsarmy: how come, it doesnt have the feature where if you drag a window against the side of the screen you can expand it half or full screen?
[10:09] <andycc> Hello all, I've just tried installing Ubuntu from a USB drive and it errored out on me in the second half of the installation. I reported a bug already, should I paste the link?
[10:10] <Flynsarmy> Kingsy: I'd say that'd be a ccsm feature. install compizconfig-settings-manager
[10:10] <sherif_> so how can i use the conf wizard
[10:10] <sherif_> am new to linux
[10:10] <llutz_> robinsch: if you know what group the devices belong to, yes
[10:10] <Flynsarmy> Kingsy: err, i meant a compiz feature :) ccsm will let you play around with the various tools compiz provides
[10:11] <reisio> kennyken: don't know if you still have to do this or not: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/BluRayAndHDDVD#Playback_using_VDPAU_acceleration
[10:11] <canarian_21> http://textsnip.com/5534f7 Here is my conky code. Is not working on gnome shell which woks perfect on Ubuntu 11.04 gnome 2. Can somebody help me?
[10:12] <Flynsarmy> reisio: change icon theme? all icons look fine (including nautilus in list view) however the open dialogue uses completely diff icons for unknown reasons
[10:12] <Flynsarmy> reisio ahh nm, it's just komodo ide it seems. when i open in gedit it's fine
[10:12] <Jonny> morning everyone
[10:12] <reisio> morning
[10:13] <incorrect> damn what has happened to the ldap auth in ubuntu
[10:13] <robinsch> llutz_: see I thought ubuntu was all about accessability, opening wonderful world of linux to regular people but now it seems to short change powerusers
[10:13] <kennyken> reisi, i was asking because it is not granted that there are vdpau working vdpau packages for a freshly released ubuntu version, i had this before , there were only vdpau packages for LTS versions and it took month until they were available and working
[10:13] <Jonny> IHas anyone had screen issues wth 11.10 and ati drivers?
[10:13] <kennyken> reisio
[10:14] <reisio> kennyken: downer
[10:14] <reisio> can always compile them yourself
[10:14] <Kingsy> Flynsarmy: also, how come there is no "system" menu?
[10:14] <majdekalel> i need a good tool to scan network for devices with ubuntu (command line not gtk) ???
[10:15] <Flynsarmy> Kingsy: it was moved into applications - system tools - system settings
[10:15] <Jonny> a lot of people are are having the sae issues and I am not surehow to fix. All the test on the meus areblock and the screen is not working well
[10:15] <kennyken> reisio, not really, as there were special dependencies neccessary which weren't available for this ubuntu version
[10:15] <Kingsy> Flynsarmy: ok I have install compiz.. where is that in the menus?
[10:15] <Flynsarmy> open a terminal, type sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
[10:16] <chroot> reisio, it dosen't work in grub maintaninence
[10:16] <reisio> kennyken: hrmm?
[10:16] <Kingsy> Flynsarmy: I have done
[10:16] <kennyken> compiling myself would give me a really hard time, having my ubuntu version stuffed with broken dependencies
[10:16] <reisio> chroot: livecd, then
[10:16] <robinsch> anyone else getting bunch of updates to cups after installing the printer drivers?
[10:16] <Flynsarmy> Anyone know how to enable nouveau drivers? I installed nouveau firmware but don't know how to turn it on
[10:16] <robinsch> i am not sure if I should update
[10:16] <sudipta> the format option on right click is not enabled in 11.10...how to enable it?
[10:16] <kennyken> reisio, that is a little too much effort, dont you think?
[10:16] <Kingsy> Flynsarmy: once its installed how do you access it?
[10:17] <crash1hd> llutz, ok well I have a couple of them so I extracted the img of the smallest one ran sudo mount -o loop file.img target and that worked but is there a way to do this without having to extract it from the .gz file?
[10:17] <kennyken> thats why i'm asking before upgrading
[10:17] <brown12> Question on the sound icon and power icon in the gnome3.2 menu. Since update, they are no longer there. Is that by design?
[10:17] <reisio> kennyken: gotcha
[10:17] <Flynsarmy> Kingsy: run ccsm. you might have to enable the run menu as per that URL i sent you earlier if you haven't already
[10:17] <Jonny> has anyone had any ssues with ati drivers and 11.10?
[10:17] <reisio> frankly I'd consider having to ask too much effort :p
[10:17] <Kingsy> oh I got it
[10:17] <robinsch> ubuntu LTS vs Stable?
[10:17] <reisio> kennyken: in Gentoo it's just emerge -DNatuv world, done :p
[10:18] <Jonny> yawn ..... :)
[10:18] <reisio> robinsch: what?
[10:18] <sudipta> the format option on right click is not enabled in 11.10...how to enable it?
[10:18] <kennyken> reisio, same with freeBSD, which i normally use, but since it lags multimedia functionality massively i switched to ubuntu
[10:18] <kennyken> not being very happy with it
[10:18] <robinsch> is gentoo still alive?
[10:19] <daniel__> anyone know of a screensaver for ubuntu that takes random articles or images from wikipedia?
[10:19] <reisio> kennyken: maybe time for Gentoo then :p
[10:19] <Jonny> IHas anyone had screen issues wth 11.10 and ati drivers?
[10:19] <reisio> robinsch: barely affected by the creation of Ubuntu at all
[10:20] <daniel__> Jonny: what kind of issues
[10:20] <kennyken> reisio, are there repositorys for already compiled binary packages in gentoo?
[10:20] <robinsch> i would use gentoo but my family would kill me
[10:20] <Jonny> daniel__, the screen is very blocky around the text and also some other areas at times
[10:20] <daniel__> i had screen issues with 11.04
[10:20] <kennyken> reisio, i would only compile if theres is a need to (needing special options in a package or something)
[10:20] <reisio> kennyken: yeah but they tend to be few and far between, outside of the important ones at tinderbox
[10:21] <reisio> kennyken: there's Sabayon's binaries, but I wouldn't really trust those
[10:21] <Jonny> daniel__ apparently something to do with fglrx im not sure though
[10:21] <sudipta> the format option on right click is not enabled in 11.10...how to enable it?
[10:21] <reisio> sudipta: for... devices?
[10:21] <DarwinSurvivor> blist
[10:21] <DarwinSurvivor> ooops, wrong window
[10:22] <kennyken> reisio, then i wouldnt want to go with gentoo, thats the big advantage with freeBSD, you have everything binary directly coming from the freeBSD package maintainers (trusted), and if you like to, you can just compile everything but you dont have to
[10:22] <daniel__> Jonny: i dont seem to have any issues anymore with 11.10
[10:22] <daniel__> flash seems to leak memory though
[10:22] <DarwinSurvivor> I'm trying to upgrade ubuntu with the alternate-cd (md5 checks out) but everytime I hit "add volume" in software sources, it unmounts it!
[10:22] <daniel__> i installed 64 bit for the first time, and it seems slower than the 32bit
yeah
[10:22] <reisio> kennyken: yeah, but with that whole lagging behind thing, apparently :p
[10:22] <kennyken> i dont have the time to compile everything, and there is not really a need to do that, as performance is not a argument at all for a desktop system
[10:22] <K-Rich> kennyken, Arch Linux is good too
[10:22] <incorrect> change, oh i hate you change!
[10:23] <reisio> daniel__: which version
[10:23] <DarwinSurvivor> then software sources claims there is no cd
[10:23] <Jonny> daniel__ , was there anythig you have done to fix the issue?
[10:23] <sherif__> hello
[10:24] <reisio> kennyken: it is for things like vdpau, but that doesn't involve 'everything' indeed
[10:24] <daniel__> reisio: 11.10, flash 11
[10:24] <daniel__> Jonny: no, just upgraded to 11.10
[10:24] <reisio> daniel__: which 11
yeah
[10:24] <kennyken> reisio, yes
[10:24] <reisio> daniel__: lot of variety in reliability and performance in 11 minor versions
[10:24] <daniel__> reisio: stable
[10:24] <reisio> stable for Ubuntu?
[10:24] <daniel__> yeah
[10:24] <SetiAmon> reisi:
[10:25] <AgentC> where can I get an ubuntu CD with integrated root-rescue shell ?
[10:25] <daniel__> but i have the same issue with arch linux, after playing a video online for a few minutes it becomes a slideshow
[10:25] <daniel__> whole pc slows down
[10:25] <Jonny> <daniel__: oh oki think i will reinstall my ati drivers then and see twhat happens
[10:25] <sudipta> the format option on right click is not enabled in 11.10...how to enable it?
[10:25] <brown12> Sorry to repeat: can anyone point to docs on the sound icon in the unity shell? Thanks in advance.
[10:25] <reisio> daniel__: you have a graphics card?
[10:25] <DarwinSurvivor> has anyone gotten ubuntu to upgrade off a mounted alternate disk ?
[10:26] <bfreis> Is it normal that after setting up a Google Account on "Online Accounts" on Gnome Shell I won't be able to connect, and my calendar won't be sync'ed to my Google's Calendar?
[10:26] <daniel__> no reisio, integrated on my laptop
[10:26] <daniel__> but still, it used to be sufficient before i started using 64bit
[10:26] <daniel__> i have 4gb RAM
[10:26] <bfreis> It seems that my "contacts" have been sync'ed, but not the calendar
[10:27]  * jasef loves 11.10. gnome-shell is one of my favourite packages :3
[10:27] <stdusr> Hi there. My father updated his laptop from 10.04 or 10.10 or 11.04 (he is not sure) to 11.10. ubuntu stops at "checking battery state". any ideas?
[10:27] <Flynsarmy> Update manager doesn't appear in sys tray in gnome classic in 11.10. any ideas on how to fix? 11.04 method of /apps/update-manager/auto_launch=false no longer works
[10:27] <dimitri> someone can be help me to install canon lbp 5100
[10:27] <bfreis> stdusr, I have exactly the same issue here
[10:28] <Kingsy> argh I still don't get this.. gnome classic still has a MASSVIE top bar.. the icons and panels look ugly as they are a different color to the bar.. wtf? I cant seem to change it
[10:28] <bfreis> stdusr, I think I solved it by choosing GDM instead of LightDM (sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm)
[10:29] <Kingsy> I also have no idea how you get all of the icons back in the systray
[10:29] <incorrect> where did sun jdk go?
[10:29] <Fum> Hello
[10:29] <Kingsy> can someone offer some advice??
[10:29] <dimitri> please help me to print with canon printer
[10:29] <kabads> Just upgraded to 11.10 - I think unity is loading but the sidebar won't show - any ideas what might be missing?
[10:29] <K-Rich> KingPin, don't smoke.
[10:29] <K-Rich> good advise
[10:30] <stdusr> bfreis, we will try
[10:30] <incorrect> i guess oracle java is no longer packaged?
[10:30] <daniel__> reisio: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M92 LP [Mobility Radeon HD 4300 Series] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
[10:30] <reisio> incorrect: indeed
[10:30] <incorrect> reisio, oh well
[10:31] <Fum> I have a stupid problem. My Windows box has Internet via USB modem. I installed ubuntu on a second PC and connected them via ethernet. Is it possible for Ubuntu 11.10 to gain Internet access from a Windows 7 PC?
[10:31] <dc5ala> incorrect, hmm i have a sun-java6-jdk installed here
[10:31] <incorrect> dc5ala, did you upgrade or fresh install?
[10:32] <Kingsy> lol its actually quite funny how non obvious this is
[10:32] <dc5ala> incorrect, upgraded, just see the packages i have installed ends with -natty
[10:33] <sroecker> hi, how can I change the number of workspaces in unity2d? After upgrading to oneiric I've only got 1 workspace
[10:33] <incorrect> dc5ala, i did an upgrade and it worked, but then i bricked everything by messing too much
[10:33] <incorrect> so i did a fresh install to see what you get
[10:33] <AgentC> where can I get an ubutu boot-CD with rescue shell
[10:34] <kabads> why isn't my unity sidebar showing up? Is there a missing package?
[10:34] <sroecker> AgentC: did you try the alternative cd from releases.ubuntu.com ?
[10:34] <Jonny> can anyone recomend the best way to install ati drivers?
[10:34] <dc5ala> incorrect, wondering then why it kept this packages :)
[10:34] <incorrect> so i have to get java the old fashioned way now
[10:35] <K-Rich> incorrect, openjdk ?
[10:35] <K-Rich> i think is in repos
[10:35] <Kingsy> ok, can someone tell me how to decrease the hight of the top bar in gnome classic on 11.10 ?
[10:36] <omri> Hi im running ubuntu 11.04 and need some help disabling SYN flooding protection as incoming connections from bittorrent are counted as SYN flooding and dropped
[10:36] <AgentC> sroecker: no. a friend have a preistalled ubuntu with forgotten root-pw , i need to reset the PW to solve the other problems
[10:36] <truepurple> "The playback of this movie requires a text/html decoder plugin which is not installed." but I just finished watching part of the video file while waiting for the rest to download
[10:36] <incorrect> K-Rich, isn't that really slow for running eclipse?
[10:37] <reisio> truepurple: makes no sense anyways ;P
[10:37] <kabads> unity --reset fixed it
[10:37] <AgentC> sroecker: dont know there is a rescue-boot in grub menu, if yes i know what to do.
[10:37] <Fum> ohkay. It works. I just did sudo ifconfig eth0 ipaddress, reconnected and it works :D
[10:37] <sroecker> AgentC: did you try "sudo -i"? Should work if you know the password of the default user
[10:37] <AgentC> sroecker: Ill get the computer in 1,5 hours for repair and must know what i have to do
[10:37] <stdusr> bfreis, now he stops at starting pulse audio
[10:38] <hypertyper> I'm thinking about moving from Ubuntu 10.10 to 11.10. Is there much point in a clean install or should I just update?
[10:38] <truepurple> reisio, looking at it closer, it seems the download got messed up, the part file still exists, and the supposed whole file is like 26k in size
[10:38] <AgentC> sroecker: sudo -i ?
[10:38] <Kingsy> also, how come when I upgraded ubuntu and installed gnome classic I have lost all of my icons in my top gnome bar??
[10:38] <Kingsy> and the icons in the system tray?
[10:38] <incorrect> can i remove the sidebar?
[10:39] <b4lu_> hello everybody, just upgraded to 11.10 and now my wireless stopped working (broadcom BCM43225). till now i had the proprietary driver "Broadcom STA wireless driver" installed and it worked fine. now it's still displayed as activated under "System Settings -> Additional Drivers" but my wireless sate (from the system try icons) is saying "device not ready". i read through the forums but am a little bit confused as i am relativly new to ubuntu. any
[10:39] <AgentC> sroecker: would that work : sudo -i bash ..... passwd root ?
[10:39] <sroecker> AgentC: gives you an interactive root shell. Sudo usually works for the first installed user if you know the password
[10:39] <sroecker> yes
[10:39] <AgentC> sroecker: user-password i know
[10:40] <sroecker> AgentC: then this should be the easiest way
[10:40] <jasef> I thought there was no root password in ubuntu O-o
[10:40] <sroecker> usually there isn't
[10:40] <Sidewinder1> !sudo | jasef
[10:41] <andy> Hi Guys, good to be back
[10:41] <andy> :)
[10:41] <jasef> Thanks, Sidewinder1, but I already knew about sudo :P that's why this talkl about forgotten root password confused me :P
[10:41] <tree> hey I currently have Ubuntu installed and I want to install Windows XP but my computer doesn't boot the Windows XP Cd
[10:41] <andy> just wondering if anyone hows how to fix the issue with ati and fglrx with ubuntu 11.10/
[10:41] <andy> ?

[10:41] <AgentC> sroecker: when my friend boots up the kde , his usb keyboard and mouse does not work until they where pluged out and in again. what to do ?
[10:42] <Sidewinder1> jasef, Understood, sometimes the distinction can be a little confusing. :-)
[10:42] <tree> unfortenutely no, it doesn't
[10:43] <andy> seems the title bar and all txt is distorted with graphics issues :s not sure how to fix it.
[10:43] <sroecker> AgentC: hmm, you could look if they are recognized by lsusb

[10:44] <usalabs> hi everyone, I have a real serious problem,,, I'm using Ubuntu Lucid LTS, every 30s there is something that is taking precedence over any other process, and it's disrupting using 3D programs such as blender or wings 3D, by making everything run slower, even the mouse starts jerky movements, I can't find anything in system monitor thats dragging the system down, or even using ps aux, what can be dragging down the system every 30s?
[10:44] <Flynsarmy> anyone know how to get nouveau running on 11.10? I've installed nouveau-firmware but don't know how to get ubuntu to use them

[10:50] <andy> th__, when you install kdm it will work in place of gdm?
[10:51] <th__> andy, yes. just do a dpkg reconfigure
[10:51] <ronspirin> CyborgSmurf: create a backup. you never know what will happen :P
[10:51] <andy> th__ have you any steps you did to install it?
[10:51] <CyborgSmurf> ronspirin: how do I do a backup?

[10:53] <scarleo> usalabs: I'd try a fresh reboot, kill off everything your not using, that includes background processes like maybe mysql, apache, whatever you have and see if it still does it

[10:53] <b4lu_> anyone any hints for the Broadcome 43225 wireless problem?

[10:54] <th__> anyone? can i add the weather to the "top panel"?
[10:54] <ronspirin> CyborgSmurf: in case you need to do that, dejadup will help you again
[10:54] <ronspirin> CyborgSmurf: you could also just copy your files onto the drive, but than you have to keep an eye on the hidden files/directories in your home directory, i.e. the emails, etc
[10:54] <sroecker> benwithjamm_in: does it change instantly? Doesn't seem to work for me, I upgraded though

[10:55] <CyborgSmurf> ronspirin: Ive done that before and it took hours. Will deja dup automatically backup hidden files?
[10:55] <ronspirin> CyborgSmurf: but if you are not sure what to do, i really dont want to be the one who told you what to do in case something goes wrong :P
[10:55] <scarleo> usalabs: Is it a laptop? Are you plugged in or on battery when this happens?

[10:56] <sroecker> benwithjamm_in: thanks. Then there must be something wrong, I guess compiz doesn't use gconf anymore
[10:56] <usalabs> scarleo no it's a desktop pc
[10:56] <th__> andy, yes they are. sudo aptitude install kdm installs it

[10:57] <th__> andy, then do sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm
[10:57] <ronspirin> CyborgSmurf: i'm not an expert with dejadup, you could just create a backup and see whether the files are there
[10:57] <os_> hi

[11:02] <Cube``> hey guys, how do i upgrade from command line?
[11:02] <scarleo> usalabs: they might not be used all the time, some disk have some built-in spin down capabilities that might not play nice with default Ubuntu settings
[11:02] <dutt> Cube``, "startx" should help

[11:03] <kahlb> yesterday i updated ubuntu to 11.10, I'd like to use gnome shell. but when i log in using "gnome desktop" the gnome shell appears absolutely crippled. the panel is green, the characters are unreadable and it's unusable. i', using amd graphics card with fglrx, glxgears works fine. didn't find anything about this on google or forums, any suggestions?
[11:03] <scarleo> usalabs: or they might not be spinning down, just putting themselves in some standby mode if not written to at the moment
[11:04] <ronspirin> Kingsy: is that oneiric with gnome-panel?
[11:04] <Kingsy> ronspirin: http://imageshack.us/f/839/screenshotat20111015115.png/ <--- that displays my problem a little better..

[11:04] <usalabs> scarleo what options for hdparm would I need to check on?
[11:04] <Kingsy> ronspirin: tbh I don't know, I installed 11.10.. booted and didnt like the new layout of gnome.. so I installed gnome classic logged out and logged back in
[11:04] <th__> btw is it safe to link ubuntu with the google account?
[11:05] <scarleo> usalabs: not sure, haven't played to much with it but I believe there is plenty of documentation out there
[11:05] <andy> th__ i am still receiving the same issue with the graphics :s
[11:05] <dutt> th_, depends on what you mean by "safe"
[11:05] <esteeven> Hello. I am using the fglrx driver and it works but there is a lag when moving windows around ie the cursor gets ahead of the window. It's a bit disconcerting.

[11:06] <th__> andy, sorry to hear that
[11:06] <usalabs> scarleo I'm looking at the hdparm --help

[11:07] <gb> umm no idea why but the silly ocelot upgrade announcer launched with a whit background, i shut it and opened update manager and it's dialogue settings were readable in my defined colours, thought i might mention it as am annoying bug for me which i doubt will be of great sifnificance for anyone else
[11:07] <alvin47>  how can I reenable wireless, because I have wattOS previously on my netbook then I installed ubuntu 11.10 by upgrade, now wireless does not work anymore
[11:07] <ronspirin> Kingsy: canonical replaced the classic gnome2 desktop with unity, and you're  probably running gnome3 in the fallback mode
[11:07] <AgentC> when started ubuntu with KDE  is it also possible to switch to a console by ctrl-alt-f1/f2 ... ?
[11:07] <sroecker> Kingsy: No, not yet. I use unity2d for now
[11:07] <Kingsy> ronspirin: what do you mean? changing the theme doesnt change the height of the top panel
[11:08] <andy> th__ is there anything else you can recommend?
[11:08] <Kingsy> sroecker: what is unity2d ? is that something you select on log in? or is that something I need to install seperately?
[11:08] <usalabs> scarleo hdparm -C /dev/sda shows the drive state ac active/idle
[11:08] <ronspirin> Kingsy: so, *you* did nothing wrong, they just didnt tell you that the upgrade would mess up the way your desktop used to work :P
[11:08] <th__> andy, so what happens when you boot? i mean what is the problem?
[11:09] <Kingsy> ronspirin: so how do you use your desktop? do you use the new gnome layout?
[11:09] <sroecker> Kingsy: You can select it when you log in, it's the default unity withoud 3D effects

[11:09] <sroecker> Kingsy: yep
[11:10] <trans> I installed nvidia through additional drivers on 11.10, but after running nvidia-xconfig I got blank screen upon reboot

[11:11] <MonkeyDust> coregateFX: i use it, what's the prob?
[11:12] <Mrokii> Somelauw: I am pretty sure that when you just use xmodmap in the shell it is temporary. You will have to create a file and put commands in there to make changes permanent.
[11:12] <ActionParsnip> trans: boot to root recovery mode. If you run:   dpkg -l | grep nvidia    which driver do you have installed?

[11:15] <elky> Necrosporus, please use a pastebin next time regardless
[11:15] <Necrosporus> Marezz, I'd recommend Radeon and free driver, but in any case, radeon is better
[11:15] <th__> andy, aaa at first i though that you couldn't login at all :P
[11:16] <trans> ActionParsnip : laptop runs increasingly hot if I don't enable nvidia, is there any solution
[11:16] <usalabs> scarleo I'll first have a look at smartmon tool,, but looking through the docs for hdparm I'm thinking the spin down timeout is to short,, but I'll dig further to find out more
[11:16] <coregateFX> It worked fine this morning, Then i installed the update and it doesn't load now
[11:16] <Marezz> Necrosporus, Im a bit concerned about ati proprietary driver, ppl are saying that its terrible but I need proprietary driver... :(
[11:16] <Necrosporus> Anyways, GLX is broken on nvidia binary driver somehow
[11:16] <ActionParsnip> trans: you may want to run:  less /var/log/Xorg.0.log   see why its not loading

[11:17] <Necrosporus> Marezz, that information is outdated, it _was_ terrible
[11:17] <th__> andy, maybe you could do a gnome panel fallback
[11:17] <bazhang> shelest`, wrong place for that
[11:17] <Necrosporus> But currently it's not so bad, however, open source driver is better anyways
[11:17] <vivid> Marezz, uh, both of those cards are terrible, ati is shoddy and thats got to be the worst nvidia choice ever
[11:17] <Somelauw> Hi, I tried to remap my windows key, so I did exec xmodmap -e "keycode 115 = F30", but all it did was closing my terminal?
[11:17] <ActionParsnip> trans: how does the display device connect to the video card/
[11:17] <vivid> Marezz, get a geforce 550 ti
[11:18] <Marezz> vivid, out of the question, theres no budget, I have to work with what I have
[11:18] <shelest`> bazhang: Not actually otherwise you will have no chanse to use your shiny linux with WIndows 8 certified mainboards.
[11:18] <trans> ActionParsnip : Its inbuilt graphics card
[11:18] <Marezz> Necrosporus, Do you have ati card by any chance?
[11:18] <bazhang> shelest`, sure it is. this is ubuntu support ONLY.
[11:18] <andy> th__ gnome panel fallback, it seems like the whole of the ati graphics as the screen sortof restarts at times to fix graphics issues
[11:18] <Alan502> Hey, if I re-install instead of just upgrading, does it make ubuntu *cleaner*?
[11:18] <vivid> the 550 is about $100, dont buy crappy cards.  the ati drivers are dirt
[11:18] <trans> ActionParsnip : I meant built into motherboard
[11:19] <shelest`> bazhang: ops. sorry than.
[11:19] <usalabs> scarleo smartmon tools also installs postfix mail server, should it do that? that's more processes to use up
[11:19] <alvin47> Actionparsnip: how can I reenable wireless, because I have wattOS previously on my netbook then I installed ubuntu 11.10 by upgrade, now wireless does not work anymore
[11:19] <vivid> Marezz, if thats just what you have laying around, try the ati card, and cross your fingers
[11:19] <ActionParsnip> trans: same difference
[11:19] <Necrosporus> Marezz, I have an HD 5450, it works well under Maverik with drivers from xorg-edgers, but that's open source ones. I'd recommend you start from ATI
[11:20] <Marezz> Necrosporus, I see, even tho ur using open source drivers, do you know maybe if fglrx has issues with new kernel 3.*?
[11:20] <trans> ActionParsnip : I didn't get you
[11:20] <kire> in the new software center, how can i see "technical files" (e.g. i want to install numpy now and the only thing I can see are some useless gui apps I don't need0
[11:20] <vivid> alvin47, did you run jockey and install the driver for your wireless card? press alt+f2 and type jockey
[11:20] <ActionParsnip> trans: the fact its built into the motherboard is of no consequence
[11:20] <Necrosporus> Marezz, no idea, just try
[11:20] <scarleo> usalabs: hmmm, it probably has some mailing capabilities, I don't think it's any harm to it unless you already have a mailserver configured
[11:21] <trans> ActionParsnip : Sorry I'm not so aware of technical terminologies
[11:21] <kire> nvm, found it, the technical items are well hidden in the lower var
[11:21] <jANaM> Installing gnome 2 in Ubuntu?
[11:21] <kire> I guess the ubuntu people wanted to make 11.10 as user unfriendly as possible
[11:21] <jANaM> Installing gnome 2 in Ubuntu 11.10?
[11:21] <alvin47> vivid: it's already activated it says but i can't turn it on
[11:21] <usalabs> scarleo I'm this is only a workstation, and not set up as a server,,, I do have a network server, separate to the workstation.
[11:21] <ActionParsnip> trans: weather it is a seperate video card or onboard as part of the motherboard makes no difference at all
[11:22] <th__> andy, wich driver do you use?
[11:22] <jANaM> Ubuntu 11.10 is very user friendly, but they want their users to file thousands of bug reports too(for all problems)
[11:22] <vivid> alvin47, did you restart your computer after installing the driver?
[11:22] <alaing> hi guys from putty i'm using mysql -u myuser - p    it prompts me for a password before continue. I tried mysql -u myuser - p myPassword but it wouldn't work. is there a why i can connect to mysql form a single line in putty using the password?

[11:28] <benwithjamm_in> Hi all, i have a minor annoyance when switching workspaces with compiz. I get a flicker of the contents of the previous workspace before its redrawn, annoying! Card is a gtx570 and using the proprietary binary nvidia-current drivers from apt.

[11:29] <ActionParsnip> alvin47: use the guide, you can install the driver
[11:29] <Marezz> Is it possible to install and test proprietary gfx drivers in live session?
[11:30] <alvin47> ActionParsnip: thank you very much and also to vivid
[11:30] <trans> ActionParsnip : I thought of showing u my config file, but I replaced with backed up one
[11:30] <__machine> how can i stop ubuntu 10.04 lts from flickering and resetting/clearing the console multiple times during boot?
[11:30] <scarleo> usalabs: don't think there is one, but I'm not sure
[11:31] <scarleo> usalabs: just write down any setting you change and it can be reverted with the same command just different value
[11:31] <trans> ActionParsnip : Mine looked similar, I reboot with urs and will revert back, thanks for your kind help
[11:31] <ActionParsnip> trans: sometimes the driver won't load if you don't specify a resolution. This is usually caused by no EDID coming from the output system.
[11:32] <cutiyar> i have problem with booting the system , its take too long
[11:32] <karex> ActionParsnip: I tried dmesg | grep mouse, and get the last line contains

[11:34] <usalabs> scarleo no

[11:44] <phiscibe> sonja, upgrade for fresh install?
[11:44] <scarleo> Vardam1r: System settings->User accounts and sound

[11:45] <Vardam1r> fhtagn thankyou, the problem is I use GDM not LightDM
[11:45] <phiscibe> if the new install is somehow picking up the .pulse folder in home, that might be the culprit

[11:50] <dutt> it seems I'm missing something in my system settings, Session, NVIDIA and other things disapeared after upgrading. Anybody know of a way to "reset" it? And for some unknown reason they've included "Wacom tablet" in there too...
[11:50] <Breakable1> ?
[11:50] <jANaM> This must have happened during install. Surprised as I was I noticed that "chinese" was listed somewhere. I didn't give it much notice. Now the whole system language is changed.
[11:50] <vivid> minashokry, be sure youve installed nvidia-current through the jockey-gtk gui, and be sure youre not running unity-2d
[11:50] <tommylommykins> hmm
[11:51] <tommylommykins> is a restart required in between installing fglrx and installing fglrx post release updates?
[11:51] <xharx> i have saved my home directory with rsync -a and when i now try to write it back the user wont start. why?
[11:51] <usalabs> scarleo yeah I ahd better,,, luckily I have Acronis backup that I can use to backup the drive to the network server,,, thanks for you help

[11:51] <yakc> is it just me or does someone else feel like 11.10 is slow?
[11:51] <vivid> phiscibe, it would appear that i dont hear them because the ubuntu system sound theme is gone
[11:51] <sagaci> beta0x64, yep

[11:51] <dutt> beta0x64, afaik there's no widespead alternative
[11:52] <sagaci> yakc, same as 11.04, fast
[11:52] <ActionParsnip> hungarian: many use gnome-shell
[11:52] <vivid> yakc, seems faster to me, aside from a few bugs
[11:52] <kire> yakc: if there's one good thing to 11.10 it's that it feels faster than the .04 here
[11:52] <scarleo> !nounity | hungarian
[11:52] <jANaM> hungarian: I tried Gnome 3, but it crashes a bit.

[11:53] <vivid> hungarian, to install gnome-shell, yes
[11:53] <ActionParsnip> christian__: glad its all good :)
[11:53] <vivid> hungarian, gnome-shell == gnome 3
[11:53] <cutiyar> vivid, i dont mean this i said its supported?
[11:53] <andycc> Speaking of Shell, do you by any chance know how I can get it to display UI text in the Ubuntu font instead of DejaVu?
[11:53] <benwithjamm_in> +1 for guake, couldnt live without it
[11:53] <christian__> :D thank you very much... i wasted so much time goolging for help.. ^^
[11:54] <phiscibe> OK LISTEN UP been following bugs all night, gotta crash but here comes some stuff pass it on
[11:54] <christian__> *googling
[11:54] <vivid> cutiyar, they included it didnt they? i wouldnt worry about support with gnome classic though, its really stable
[11:54] <sagaci> glad some others are using guake :D
[11:54] <ActionParsnip> breakable: or yakuake in kde
[11:54] <breakable> ActionParsnip: Thanks mate

[11:54] <phiscibe> OK LISTEN U Have you just upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot and now getting the “Waiting for network configuration” message followed by “Waiting up to 60 seconds more for network”? This then might be accompanied by a black blank screen.
[11:54] <ActionParsnip> guake / yakuake should be default install imho
[11:54] <can73> somebody help, my wifi never connects after 11.10 update
[11:54] <tommylommykins> !
[11:54] <phiscibe> look here http://uksysadmin.wordpress.com/2011/10/14/upgrade-to-ubuntu-11-10-problem-waiting-for-network-configuration-then-black-screen-solution/
[11:54] <can73> thanks ill check it out
[11:54] <phiscibe> also related to dbus erros
[11:55] <cutiyar> vivid, iu dont understand me , i saying if its not supported why the terminal use Gnome?
[11:55] <tommylommykins> is it now no longer possible to start in text mode by using the text kernel line argument?
[11:55] <benwithjamm_in> sagaci: F12, new tab, switch between pgup and down, do stuff, f12 again and back to whatever working on. hands dont leave keyboard, really good for dev workflow. <3 guake
[11:55] <minashokry> vivid, Is this driver aware of optimus? enabling non-optimus-aware nvidia driver can lead to not being able to run desktop at all
[11:55] <vivid> cutiyar, i dont understand you, for sure.  what exactly do you mean when referring to "gnome"
[11:55] <hungarian> ok. ill try it
[11:55] <vivid> minashokry, optimus does NOT work with linux, period
[11:55] <phiscibe> look here for KNOWN isuses https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OneiricOcelot/ReleaseNotes
[11:55] <jANaM> serious problem. How do I log out. The language is in Chinese. (I just changed back to English)
[11:56] <cutiyar> vivid, i said its supported or not?
[11:56] <sagaci> benwithjamm_in, I use the menu button instead of F12, since it's usually Fn+F12 on laptops
[11:56] <jANaM> under my user account 'foobar' there is a menu
[11:56] <vivid> cutiyar, gnome is a pretty vague term referring to hundreds of elements, what part of gnome?
[11:56] <andycc> jANaM: ctrl-alt-delete.
[11:56] <minashokry> vivid, I know, and so I should enable nvidia driver. isn't that right?
[11:56] <MonkeyDust> jANaM: try ctrl-alt-backspace
[11:56] <phiscibe> if u have mixed kde - kubuntu componets, remberm you need to logon with gdm , lightdm is the new display manger
[11:56] <jANaM> After ctrl-alt-delete do I choose the right button or the left button?
[11:56] <cutiyar> vivid, so whats of gnome not support in 11.10?
[11:56] <vivid> minashokry, yes, if you have a recent nvidia card you probably want to use the nvidia driver, unless you dont really play games and want to stay with nouveau
[11:57] <jANaM> no worry. I'll try.
[11:57] <benwithjamm_in> sagaci: translucent or opaque? i cant handle it anything else but 100% opaque, my tiny mind gets confused otherwise :)
[11:57] <sagaci> benwithjamm_in, usually something like 90%
[11:57] <phiscibe> if you upgraded with a wireless connection it probably got disconnected in the process and scred up flash
[11:58] <minashokry> vivid, in my machine, I can't use the nvidia card away of optimus. I use bunblebee for running apps that need high graphics.... these all aren't the problem now. I was running compiz effects in unity on the intel card at 11.04, but once upgraded to 11.10 it stopped. this is what I want to fix now
[11:58] <phiscibe> if you use KMAIL or its realatives, its hosed now  http://www.kubuntu.org/news/11.10-release
[11:59] <hypertyper> in v11.10 the top panel on my secondary screen doesn't stay open once I click on any of the items like calendar, volume, mail etc. Any ideas?
[11:59] <phiscibe> NO LEAVE or SHUTDOWN u dont know if u got kubunt or ubuntu, check kdm and gdm
[12:00] <vivid> minashokry, /shrug
[12:01] <phiscibe> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OneiricOcelot/ReleaseNotes#Known_issues
[12:01] <cutiyar> why while turning ubuntu 11.10 asking to waiting network configuration?
[12:01] <MrBoss> thunderbird or evolution ?
[12:01] <vivid> thunderbird for sure
[12:01] <phiscibe> OK LISTEN U Have you just upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot and now getting the “Waiting for network configuration” message followed by “Waiting up to 60 seconds more for network”? This then might be accompanied by a black blank screen.\
[12:02] <jANaM> How do I remove chinese as display language from ubuntu? Can't be removed.
[12:02] <jANaM> I'm not from China.

[12:02] <jANaM> Anyone else got chinese they can't remove?

[12:02] <jANaM> and on Gnome3
[12:02] <xenland> Anyone know how to get back the old interface for Ubuntu? I just upgraded and there is no option for the old interface just this funky awkward can't find anything interface(sorry its just the truth..)
[12:02] <vivid> MrBoss, yes, chromium is the open-source compilation of chrome
[12:02] <jANaM> and on "Keyboard Layout"
[12:03] <phiscibe> LOOK FOR VAR RUN LOCK ON GOOGLE FOR MANY MANY MANY PROBLEMS

[12:03] <oCean> phiscibe: no need for CAPS
[12:03] <oCean> !who | phiscibe
[12:03] <jANaM> ah, sorry, I'm asking questions without thinking. I know where I can remove such packages. Sorry.
[12:03] <phiscibe>  i was been dramitic, as im leaving good nght

[12:03] <vivid> xenland, if you want the classic gnome, install the gnome-panel package.  use the little gear to change your login environment when you log in
[12:04] <xenland> vivid: you da man. thanks I'll try that
[12:04] <can73>  can someone pleaseeee help with no network connection on 11.10 upgrade
[12:04] <minashokry> vivid, any other clues?
[12:04] <th0r> can73: you have to whine more, 30 seconds between lines is too much
[12:05] <jANaM> sagaci: I installed from scratch. Deleted the partition and its installed from scratch.
[12:05] <can73> yeah but is still cant connect im bout to downgrade
[12:05] <jANaM> nevermind. I think I can use synaptic to manually remove it.
[12:05] <vivid> minashokry, i would say not to try using optimus.  i doubt ubuntu or nvidia will support your issues with it
[12:05] <scarleo> can73: you need to give more info like i.e. what's your NIC model, wireless or cable etc.
[12:05] <xenland> Thanks vivid i'm using ubuntu classic now :)
[12:06] <can73> srry im a noob thats why im here
[12:06] <minashokry> vivid, I am not using optimus now. I just ant to restore compiz funtionality on intel. it ware working in 11.04
[12:06] <scarleo> can73: you don't need to excuse yourself but you still need to provide some info to get help
[12:06] <vivid> minashokry, youll have to ask someone else, i dont know anything about how or why to use an intel gpu
[12:06] <jANaM> can73: Did you connect with wifi?
[12:07] <can73> what is the terminal code for such thing
[12:07] <wildc4rd> Good afternoon all!
[12:07] <minashokry> vivid, ok thanks
[12:07] <vivid> minashokry, though, i think there were some release notes
[12:07] <Leeds27m> hi all...I upgraded to oneric a few days before the official release...the update manager's not showing anything since the official release, is there a way to make sure I've got everything up to date?
[12:07] <jANaM> can73: Do you connect to wireless router? Our connection stopped working too after the upgrade because it forgot the router password.
[12:07] <vivid> about intel cards not working after the upgrade, maybe you should read them
[12:07] <MrBoss> Who use a CAD (.dwg) ?
[12:07] <ActionParsnip> Leeds27m: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[12:07] <scarleo> can73: did you read this page:https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide
[12:07] <Leeds27m> ty action :)
[12:07] <koa> hey guys how can i upgrade my opengl to 4.2 ?
[12:07] <xenland> any idea on how to get my settings menu back on the top? All i see is Applications, and Places no Settings for system type stuff? did they put it else were after the upgrade i wonder?
[12:08] <can73> wireless router but ive put in the corect password numerous times, and it works on my windows dual boot
[12:08] <can73> ill use ur link
[12:09] <jANaM> can73: You must open network settings (just click on the icon) and then enter settings for your wireless connection and there we added the password (it was blank for WPA2)
[12:10] <bludog_anchorite> anyone recomend some good software for monitoring multiple ubuntu servers ? something simpler than nagios or cacti
[12:10] <can73> i know that but it gives my a connecting loop cycle as if i never put anything in and i know it is all right because i like checked it 100 times
[12:10] <jANaM> "Network Connections" -> Then go to "Wireless"-> Click on it...
[12:11] <jANaM> -> Edit -> "Wireless Security" tab -> "WPA & WPA2 Personal"(for us) -> Password.
[12:11] <jANaM> Then -> save. It worked for us.
[12:12] <jANaM> We found no other way to enter the password.
[12:12] <jANaM> can73: Did you do the same?
[12:12] <ActionParsnip> !panels | xenland
[12:12] <can73> idk
[12:12] <can73> jANaM: what was it you did
[12:12] <jANaM> can73: Ok, try this. You know it worked for us, so it could work for you.
[12:12] <dutt> how do i change from unity to gnome 3? I can't find any "Sessions" part of system settings.
[12:13] <jANaM> Open "Network Connection".
[12:13] <jANaM> Open "Network Connections".
[12:13] <fhtagn> dutt: upon login there's a cog next to your name, no?
[12:13] <fhtagn> provided you installed gnome-shell
[12:13] <vivid> xenland, it should be in one of the indicator icons on the panel, probably the right-most one
[12:13] <jANaM> can73: Do you need help to open it?
[12:13] <dutt> fhtagn, oh, i'll try that then. thanks
[12:13] <can73> no
[12:13] <can73> continue
[12:13] <jANaM> Ok. Then go to the "Wireless" tab.
[12:13] <can73> k
[12:14] <jANaM> Then choose your wireless connection. Do you see it?
[12:14] <can73> yep
[12:14] <Stefanoz> Hi guys! I have a strange issue! While logged in with my ubuntu my internet is too slow. I am supposed to be synchronized at 9050 kbps but it's getting only 1004 or so... when logged in on windows this does not happen!!!  Any idea ?
[12:14] <jANaM> select it and then click on edit.
[12:14] <can73> k
[12:14] <dutt> Stefanoz, I had the same problem, it just went away after a while...weird.
[12:14] <smango> Does anyone know how to install Catalyst 11.9 in Ubuntu? I've been googling but so far no luck D:
[12:14] <jANaM> Click on the "Wireless Security" tab.
[12:14] <can73> yup
[12:14] <xenland> vivids yeah exactly but i no see it... :( http://postimage.org/image/fnio0x5w/
[12:15] <xenland> vivid click link and look at top left
[12:15] <xenland> no system settings :(
[12:15] <jANaM> For us it shows "Security: WPA & WPA2 Personal"
[12:15] <jANaM> enter the password in the "Password:" field.
[12:15] <Stefanoz> dutt: I was thinking the same thing and I was assuming that I would dissappear with the upgrading.. but it did no
[12:15] <vivid> xenland, try adding to the panel, indicator-session (not sure thats the name)
[12:15] <Stefanoz> dutt: what should I check on? any idea? did you look around about it ?
[12:15] <vivid> look for indicators
[12:16] <can73> problem is i have a fios router that just says wep but no idea which type of WEP it is e.g 128 pass or hex
[12:16] <vivid> xenland, thats almost exactly how gnome 3 is set up, so it might not work as it has in the past
[12:16] <kozlov8> The Ubuntu CD in this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows  what is that?
[12:16] <coregateFX> Hi, Can anyone help me setup virtual box in 11.10?
[12:16] <vivid> kozlov8, thats for restoring the grub boot loader so you can run ubuntu again
[12:16] <coregateFX> I've been having problems opening it since i updated
[12:17] <jANaM> can73: What if you choose "Dynamic WEP (802.1x)? It lets you enter a password.
[12:17] <kozlov8> I need to do that, but what is the CD? vivid
[12:17] <tommylommykins> is ther any tutorial on how to use gnomeshell? I'm a bit lost
[12:17] <vivid> coregateFX, 'sudo apt-get install virtualbox'
[12:17] <scarleo> can73: so try, there are just 2 different weps
[12:17] <coregateFX> vivid, i have it installed but an error comes up now
[12:17] <sagaci> kozlov8, ubuntu desktop
[12:17] <can73> jANaM: ill try that
[12:17] <th__> okay what did i do now... ubuntu 2D works fine but when i select normal "ubuntu" only the wallpaper shows up...
[12:17] <vivid> kozlov8, you can use any recent ubuntu installation live environment
[12:17] <jANaM> scarleo: no, 3 ;)
[12:17] <g00se> Are there any isohybrid installer images available?
[12:17] <xenland_> vivid: apt-get reports this indicator-session is already the newest version.
[12:17] <kozlov8> vivid, sagaci, is it the CD I used to install Ubuntu?
[12:17] <vivid> coregateFX, when reporting errors, you need to actually show us the error, just saying you have an error is meaningless
[12:18] <sagaci> kozlov8, sure can be
[12:18] <coregateFX> Please install the virtualbox-dkms package and execute 'modprobe vboxdrv' as root.
[12:18] <coregateFX> I was getting the error, sorry
[12:18] <vivid> coregateFX, sounds like a pretty simple explanation of what you need to do
[12:18] <coregateFX> dkms is installed and updated
[12:18] <kozlov8> sagaci, but when I boot from that CD, there are only 2 options: Try Ubuntu and Install it, I need the repair option.
[12:18] <vivid> coregateFX, if 'apt-cache policy virtualbox-dkms' shows that its installed, simply run 'sudo modprobe vboxdrv'
[12:19] <jANaM> can73: If it works, plz tell me. If it doesn't work, plz tell me.
[12:19] <sagaci> kozlov8, click try ubuntu, boot it up then install boot-repair
[12:19] <scarleo> jANaM: true, almost to much to bear ;)
[12:19] <kozlov8> sagaci, How do I do that? Sorry I'm not very experienced...
[12:19] <sagaci> kozlov8, looks like you have to add a ppa first
[12:19] <vivid> xenland, no, its already installed, just right click the gnome panel and select add an item to the panel, then add that indicator
[12:19] <patr|ck> hello. where do i find the old wallpapers in Ubuntu 11.10?
[12:19] <sagaci> kozlov8, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
[12:19] <tommylommykins> I am looking for a tutorial o how to use gnome shell. Can anyone help?
[12:19] <can73> jANaM: After i put in the pass, i got a grayed out button for save meaning something wrong
[12:19] <vivid> xenland, thats the indicator that should have what youre missing
[12:20] <sagaci> kozlov8, go try ubuntu then when it's loaded, open up a terminal and then paste in the commands from the 2nd option of that link I pasted
[12:20] <jANaM> can73: Uhm, sorry I got no experience with WEP.
[12:20] <benwithjamm_in> Repeating question again, sorry! I have a minor annoyance when switching workspaces with compiz. I get a flicker of the contents of the previous workspace before its redrawn, annoying! Card is a gtx570 and using the proprietary binary nvidia-current drivers from apt.
[12:20] <coregateFX> ok it opened, thanks for your help vivid
[12:20] <xenland_> Sorry forgot to mention that the gnome panel is not letting me right click. i had to drag and drop in order to get that terminal icon on there for some reason
[12:20] <jANaM> Anyone can help can73 with WEP settings?
[12:20] <vivid> tommylommykins, try entering that into google.com
[12:21] <sagaci> kozlov8, you need to be connected to the internet for that to work
[12:21] <can73> jANaM: i wish ubuntu had customer support number
[12:21] <tommylommykins> vivid: Not much luck.
[12:21] <kozlov8> sagaci, Okay thanks! :) One more question... would https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows fix the problem I have described https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/174411
[12:21] <vivid> benwithjamm_in, thats a new card that i dont think is supported in nvidia 280.13
[12:21] <th__> okay what did i do now.. ubuntu 2d works just fine but the normal "ubuntu" option gives me only the wallpaper, no menus :(
[12:21] <xenland_> Any ideas why I can't right click on nome panel? I don't see it locked at all
[12:21] <tommylommykins> Aditionally, most things have told me to press the windows key. Nothing happens
[12:21] <benwithjamm_in> vivid: ahhh... didnt consider that
[12:21] <th__> okay what did i do now.. ubuntu 2d works just fine but the normal "ubuntu" option gives me only the wallpaper, no menus :( tried to unity --reset but no effect
[12:21] <phoenixsampras> how to disable Unity?
[12:21] <benwithjamm_in> vivid: try direct from nvidia maybe?
[12:21] <sagaci> kozlov8, that could be more complex
[12:22] <ActionParsnip> th__: you need 3D accelleration to run ' normal' unity
[12:22] <vivid> benwithjamm_in, youll need to do this 'sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates' then 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get upgrade' and reboot
[12:22] <th__> phoenixsampras, why would you like to do that?
[12:22] <pavan> hello guys
[12:22] <th__> ActionParsnip, so you think im trying to run a 3d app without 3d acceleration?
[12:22] <kozlov8> sagaci, Oh, any ideas how it could be solved?
[12:22] <sagaci> kozlov8, honestly, unless you've got something on your ubuntu install that you really need, you might be off better to just reinstall ubuntu
[12:22] <vivid> benwithjamm_in, ubuntu is supposed to be actually keeping up with nvidia drivers now, but they are already behind on day 2 of release, the ppa is on the ball though
[12:22] <xenland_> Is it possble that the new upgrade removed my ATI/AMD video drivers? my gamma is looking really high and i don't see the catalyst control center any where?
[12:22] <zvacet> after install I lose my home partition even I didn´t format it during install is there any way to save files?
[12:22] <benwithjamm_in> vivid: Ok, thanks. Whats that ppa out of curisoty?
[12:22] <Stefanoz> How do I switch language in XFCE? In Unity I found a way to do it by using alt+shift
[12:23] <sagaci> kozlov8, since it's almost always better/easier/less hassle to install windows then ubuntu, not viceversea
[12:23] <Henriquez> ati driver problems : I have installed ati drivers but gnome shell wont display the colors right is there any setting i can play with to get it right?
[12:23] <vivid> benwithjamm_in, google it, theres an explanation on their launchpad page
[12:23] <xenland_> benwithjamm_in i think a ppa is like a server for installing packages or somthing like that
[12:23] <scarleo> !nounity | phoenixsampras
[12:23] <vivid> benwithjamm_in, its basically keeping current the things ubuntu does not
[12:23] <xenland_> benwithjamm_in https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas
[12:23] <vivid> benwithjamm_in, dealing with Xorg, nvidia, and fglrx
[12:23] <benwithjamm_in> vivid: brilliant, thanks fella
[12:24] <MonkeyDust> benwithjamm_in: a ppa is a local software source
[12:24] <pavan> I have pasted my nvidia xconfig file at http://paste.ubuntu.com/708519/ I get blank screen upon reboot, plz help
[12:24] <kozlov8> sagaci, Okay, fair enough, but the previous version took a partition, so now I have less space on my Windows 7. If I were to reinstall it could I use the partition that the previous installation took?
[12:24] <th__> ActionParsnip, so you think im trying to run a 3d app without 3d acceleration?
[12:24] <th__> okay what did i do now.. ubuntu 2d works just fine but the normal "ubuntu" option gives me only the wallpaper, no menus :( tried to unity --reset but no effect
[12:24] <th__> ActionParsnip, repost
[12:24] <vivid> pavan, have you tried removing the config file? you shouldnt need it
[12:24] <benwithjamm_in> MonekyDust: ya, was just wondering what the specific one vivid pointed me to was. Thanks tho
[12:24] <xenland_> Any idears why gnome panel will let me right click on icons and buttons but not the panel it self?
[12:24] <pavan> vivid : I didn't get you
[12:24] <sagaci> kozlov8, yeah should be able to, just need to manually partition and use that free space/ext4 partition and allocate it to / and format it
[12:25] <ActionParsnip> th__: yes unity is a plugin for compiz, if you don't have 3D accelleration enabled, it won't work
[12:25] <kozlov8> sagaci, Okay I'll try reinstalling it. Thanks a bunch! :)
[12:25] <ActionParsnip> th__: unity 2D will run weather you have 3D accelleration or now, which is why it works
[12:25] <vivid> pavan, the file you pasted is not necessary, only for custom configurations, if you cant log in, try removing it (/etc/X11/xorg.conf)
[12:25] <sagaci> kozlov8, did you have any data/critical files on your first ubuntu  install?
[12:25] <kozlov8> sagaci: Nope. I never even got to use it.
[12:25] <Secluded1> question: can compiz cube work in oneiric?
[12:26] <vivid> Secluded1, it conflicts with some unity settings, but in theory yes
[12:26] <th__> ActionParsnip, i have a 3d acceleration.. it was runnig fine until explored some compiz confs. did change anything though
[12:26] <zvacet> Stefanoz: is https://help.ubuntu.com/6.06/xubuntu/desktopguide/C/switch-keyboard-layout.html what are you looking for
[12:26] <sagaci> kozlov8, ok good since an install (depending on your hardware) can take <10mins so it's easier to reinstall than to troubleshoot a potential broken install/grub
[12:26] <pavan> vivid : I have nvidia graphics card, after installing I ran nvidia-xconfig, after rebooting I got the blank screen
[12:27] <scarleo> th__: fire up ccsm again and just tick Unity Plugin logout login
[12:27] <kozlov8> sagaci, okay, here goes nothing...
[12:27] <Henriquez> Can anyone guide me through troubleshooting ati drivers? i have reinstalled 8 times and tried different things but it seems to be hopeless
[12:27] <vivid> pavan, delete /etc/X11/xorg.conf and restart your gui
[12:27] <ActionParsnip> th__: try:   gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/compiz     then reboot and log into the normal unity desktop
[12:27] <Henriquez> or help me i mean
[12:27] <th__> ActionParsnip, what does that do?
[12:27] <pavan> vivid : If I don't enable graphics card laptop becomes hot
[12:27] <scarleo> th__: Unity plugin will be unticked on first start of ccsm, I did it myself
[12:28] <vivid> pavan, look, im going to keep telling you to do the same thing, ask someone else
[12:28] <ActionParsnip> th__: resets your compiz config to defaults
[12:28] <pavan> vivid : I have to enable it some how, I using dell xps
[12:28] <th__> scarleo, it was unticked indeed...
[12:28] <vivid> pavan, for the fourth time, that file is NOT Necessary, you can delete it and restart your gui without disabling the nvidia card
[12:28] <pavan> vivid : thanks anyway
[12:28] <vlada> hi! What should I do to get Calendar integration in Ubuntu 11.10? I've been updating from alphaX in hope they will settle it down, but nothing...
[12:29] <pavan> vivid : ok I'll do that
[12:29] <vivid> pavan, X will get suitable default settings on its own
[12:29] <scarleo> th__: I know, just tick it and then logout and back in
[12:29] <th__> ActionParsnip, unity plugin was unticked for some strange reason
[12:29] <pavan> vivid : now I got what u meant
[12:29] <ActionParsnip> th__: all ok now?
[12:29] <vivid> pavan, right, then once you get it working again, you can try to manually set settings that may work
[12:30] <jANaM> There's a funny thing going on. The wallpaper changes automatically. I think I like it.
[12:30] <pavan> vivid : thanks for ur help
[12:30] <vivid> jANaM, theres a timed wallpaper choice in the settings, :D you must have it enabled
[12:30] <kalib> Hi people. Did anyone get any problem when updating to 11.10? After this update I can't log on my gnome with my user. I can only log on console. On graphical interface I can only log with guest user.
[12:31] <pavan> bye all
[12:31] <vlada> kalib, worked for me on 3 boxes
[12:31] <jANaM> kalib: Upgrading? Yes a problem upgrading to 11.10 but it was not anyone elses fault. I played a buggy game and it crashed during the upgrade so I hit restart. Now I'm on a cleanly installed partition.
[12:32] <ActionParsnip> kalib: do you use proprietary drivers?

[12:34] <tommylommykins> there appeared to be no logout button
[12:34] <zvacet> I keep home on separate partition but after install 11.10 home is gone I did not format it during install isthere a way to save files from my home partition
[12:35] <Yuzersif> Hi
[12:35] <benwithjamm_in> vivid: Im now on 285.05, but still get the flicker before redraw. Im going to try disabling all the compiz options bar workspace switcher, see if still happens and go from there.
[12:36] <Stefanoz> zvacet: thanks!
[12:36] <Starman83> I can't find a related bug
[12:36] <Starman83> Should I report one?
[12:36] <zvacet> Stefanoz: yw  :)
[12:36] <Starman83> I mean the problem is totally reconstructable, I even switched PCI slots so e1000 would get a single interrupt, no change
[12:37] <sanu01> guys have a problem in 11.10. it slows down terribly after some time and i cant even open any application. have to hard boot
[12:37] <sanu01> any idea why?
[12:38] <ActionParsnip> benwithjamm_in: how did you get 285 nvidia driver?
[12:39] <whyameye> how can I find out what video driver oneiric is using?
[12:39] <ActionParsnip> sanu01: is the ram healthy?
[12:39] <whizz> sanu01: is there a process eating 100% CPU?
[12:39] <ActionParsnip> whyameye: sudo lshw -C display | grep -i driver
[12:40] <benwithjamm_in> ActionParsnip, using a ppa pointed to me by vivid, ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates, then apt update + upgrade and reboot
[12:40] <ActionParsnip> benwithjamm_in: cheers dude, tought it would be that
[12:40] <Sidewinder1> zvacet, You may want to have a look here: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Step_By_Step
[12:40] <benwithjamm_in> np
[12:41] <whyameye> ActionParsnip: thx
[12:41] <Yuzersif> Hello
[12:41] <XenonLightz> hello all
[12:42] <XenonLightz> anyone here who can help me with the fglrx drivers and oneiric?
[12:42] <XenonLightz> hello?
[12:42] <fergal32> XenonLightz: what problem do you have?
[12:42] <Drecondius> XenonLightz: have you tried the proprietary drivers?
[12:43] <tommylommykins> hmm
[12:43] <tommylommykins> Does anyone know the name of startup disk creator
[12:43] <tommylommykins> I want to call it throught the commandloine
[12:43] <Yuzersif> Before I had this gnome --> http://imageshack.us/f/830/capture1xd.png/ and yesterday I upgrade to ubuntu 11.10 and I have this gnome --> http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/684/capturedu20111015143129.png/
[12:43] <fergal32> i just bought a radeon 5450 the cheapest i could get and that card is running fine
[12:43] <Starman83> Isn't fglrx proprietary!?
[12:43] <ActionParsnip> tommylommykins: unetbootin
[12:43] <noortje_> Hoi!
[12:43] <Yuzersif> When I click right on the top, on the panel , nothing happens!
[12:43] <XenonLightz> i just got no drivers now, because someone told me the drivers by ati.com would be better... Now, I dont have any drivers and x11 wont start
[12:43] <XenonLightz> I'm here with irssi and a virtual console
[12:44] <Drecondius> Starman83: not as far as i know bc there is an open source fglrx
[12:44] <tommylommykins> ActionParsnip: Cheers :)
[12:44] <noortje_> hallo
[12:44] <Starman83> I thought "radeon" were the open-source ones
[12:44] <Glycan> What's the that you use too connect too networks?
[12:44] <Glycan> What is the name of it?
[12:44] <miltenDawn> Hi everyone! :-)
[12:44] <fergal32> Starman83: these are the opensource ones. flgrx is proprietary
[12:44] <XenonLightz> and if i try to install fglrx it says that it is installed, and if i try to uninstall it cant find the package in dpkg... its really annoying
[12:44] <Starman83> I don't think the ATI drivers will support KMS
[12:45] <Starman83> Right
[12:45] <Starman83> XenonLightz: You should try to uninstall them
[12:45] <noortje_> hoi hoe gaat het met jullie
[12:45] <gameplayer> While using ubuntu 11.04, I once tested Elegant gnome, then uninstalled it. Now than I'm on ubuntu 11.10, the color theme (white fonts and dark background on windows) is back for my user. If i test it on a new user, the default theme is back. How can I reset the theme for my user ? Is there a folder to delete ?  Try "apt-get install fglrx".
[12:47] <noortje_> i hate jou
[12:47] <oCean> noortje_: please behave
[12:47] <bazhang> noortje_, thats not an ubuntu support issue
[12:47] <BostX> bazhang, oh sorry, I have a f-problem
[12:47] <rokin> what is the best (safe way ) to install gnome 3 in ubuntu 10.10 ?
[12:47] <noortje_> asstiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiil
[12:48] <bazhang> rokin, there is none
[12:48] <ActionParsnip> rokin: there is no safe way
[12:48] <ActionParsnip> !gnome3
[12:49] <jincreator> Has anyone know where is Ubuntu's system requirements in hompage?
[12:49] <ActionParsnip> rokin: if you want to BREAK your system http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/11/install-vanilla-gnome-3-in-maverick/
[12:49] <miromanyth> COuld someone tell me why the option to "install" in the app center is greyed out for every thing I want to install?
[12:49] <rokin> ok thank you :)
[12:49] <ActionParsnip> miromanyth: run:   gksudo software-center
[12:49] <yakc> is there some bugs in 3d cube or why doesnt it work as good as it did earlier
[12:50] <ActionParsnip> rokin: You have been warned. Using it WILL BREAK your OS. Your choice
[12:50] <bazhang> yakc, thats very vague
[12:50] <miromanyth> ActionParsnip: Ah that did it, thank you :)
[12:50] <ActionParsnip> rokin: as we said, there is no safe way. Its not compatible
[12:50] <wildc4rd> out of interest, on 11.10 now, and Unity (not sure about Unity), can I still get useful little tools, like the CPU stepping and usage monitors for the toolbar at the top of the screen?
[12:50] <ActionParsnip> miromanyth: np :)
[12:50] <Drecondius> Well I have a question now, How do I add a launcher to unity? BTW it's for a wine prog
[12:50] <tryggvib> My wireless doesn't work and I'm trying to fix it. From what I've read I should have the airo_cs module loaded but I don't. Is it unnecessary in 11.04 and 11.10?
[12:51] <iceflatline> jincreator: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements
[12:52] <ActionParsnip> tryggvib: which wireless chip?
[12:53] <tryggvib> ActionParsnip, Cisco Aironet (I have the airo module loaded, just not airo_cs)
[12:54] <ActionParsnip> tryggvib: ok, if you run:  sudo iwlist scan    do you see wireless networks
[12:55] <tryggvib> ActionParsnip, I can see wireless networks but I can't connect to them, lshw -C network tells me that my wifi is Disabled
[12:55] <ActionParsnip> tryggvib: do youhave a switch for the wifi to turn it off and on?
[12:56] <tryggvib> ActionParsnip, syslog tells me that trying to connect to networks times out (no I don't - I have one for bluetooth)
[12:56] <ActionParsnip> tryggvib: try:   sudo rfkill unblock all
[12:57] <tryggvib> ActionParsnip, done, rfkill list all still just shows the bluetooth and no wireless
[12:58] <ActionParsnip> tryggvib: i'd reboot then run:   dmesg | less      see what's going on
[12:59] <alex-> How can I change the gnome-panel settings?
[12:59] <bost> Does anyone know where are the hibernate and suspend buttons/apps gone? I just upgraded to 11.10 and Im using Unity
[12:59] <tryggvib> ActionParsnip, ok I'll try to do that, thanks for the help
[12:59] <alex-> bost: under the right top menu
[13:00] <bost> alex, no there's nothing :(
[13:01] <Bragex9> I think I have managed to corrupt my system during installation of ubuntu 11.04. Everything was running fine until the system restarted. My desktop backround photo shows up, and the desktop icons blinks and shows only for a half second every second sec. I can however not see the ubuntu menu. I can however start programs by clicking the icons on the desktop, and the program will start. But it also shows just for a second every second sec. What can
[13:03] <ronspirin> Bragex9: 1. what were you running before 11.04? 2. Did you use an old /home partition? 3. did the installation fail or something?
[13:03] <jincreator> iceflatline: Thanks. But in my memory, system requirements page was in ubuntu.com. Why there's nothing about system requirements in official page?
[13:04] <Breakable> can not find 'fonts' in appearance preferences ...
[13:04] <kapu> what is a good general-purpose *nix chatroom where most topics can be discussed and has a lot of volume?
[13:05] <oCean> kapu: there is a general ##linux channel if that's what you're after
[13:05] <Breakable> where are 'fonts'  and 'visual effects' in appearence ?
[13:05] <Breakable> can not find them
[13:05] <Bragex9> ronspirin: I was initially running 10.04 and upgraded to 10.10 and then further to 11.04. No error messages during installations. Yes, I think I used an old home partition
[13:05] <benwithjamm_in> if it helps anyone my redraw flicker was from desktop cube, just enabled workspace switcher + everything else and no more redraw flicker
[13:06] <iceflatline> jincreator: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OneiricOcelot/ReleaseNotes?action=show&redirect=OneiricOcelot%2FTechnicalOverview#System_Requirements
[13:06] <kapu> oCean: ty, but was wondering if there is a less specific hangout. where nix in general is the common element
[13:07] <oCean> kapu: well, there is ##unix too, but has usually less visitors
[13:07] <kapu> oCean: thanks
[13:07] <LjL> oCean, kapu: also ##posix
[13:07] <ronspirin> Bragex9: try renaming the .config and .gnome2 directories in your home directory. they might be interferring with the new software. by renaming them instead of deleting them, you'll have a backup of them
[13:08] <jincreator> iceflatline: Thank you very much.
[13:08] <Czeslaw> siema
[13:08] <Czeslaw> :d
[13:08] <iceflatline> jincreator: Google search is your friend :)

[13:09] <Barnabas> after an upgrade eo 11.10 I am getting this issue - anyone have a fix ? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1825310
[13:09] <Bragex9> ronspirin: the problem is that I am not able to get access to the files. The only thing that shows on my screen is the desktop photo and the desktop icons blinking...
[13:09] <Barnabas> lightdm encryptfs strangeness
[13:10] <ronspirin> Bragex9: are you familiar with logging in into a tty? (aka text mode)
[13:11] <xenland_> Is everyone else having trouble installing the ATI propretary drivers?

[13:12] <ronspirin> Bragex9: over network? forget it, wont work
[13:13] <ronspirin> Bragex9: press crtl+alt+f1 on the linux machine, you should see a full screen terminal console
[13:13] <ActionParsnip> emir: gconf / dconf possibly
[13:13] <Barnabas> the resolution seems to be to remove the .XAuthority file
[13:13] <ronspirin> Bragex9: log in to that
[13:13] <alph|away> can I anyone tell me how to change the system font size in 11.10?

[13:15] <ronspirin> Bragex9: lol i think you should get that anyway :D
[13:15] <gameplayer> While using ubuntu 11.04, I once tested Elegant gnome, then uninstalled it. Now than I'm on ubuntu 11.10, the color theme (white fonts and dark background on windows) is back for my user. If i test it on a new user, the default theme is back. How can I reset the theme for my user ? Is there a folder to delete ? (I'm currently using unity)
[13:15] <ActionParsnip> emir: I'm not sure of it. I don't use gnome. There may be samples online but I imagine the settings are in dconf or gconf some place
[13:17] <pytonic> just test

[13:17] <Mtaus> hola
[13:17] <Bragex9> ronspirin: this ubuntu computer is attached to my lcd-tv, that's why I only use a logitech mini keyboard. I have to go get a real keyboard and also another screen because the computer is in another room... behind the tv wall. I will get back later...

[13:26] <incorrect> can i make the icons the the left bar smaller?
