[09:37] <sarnl> How to show an exported GMenu in unity?
[09:43] <blackest_knight> hi how can I quickly reduce the number of hard links to a particular file I just one unique copy of each file
[09:45] <juhsis> hi guys i need help on insalling ubuntu, to my super computer :)
[09:48] <juhsis> i have 2x1TB disk which is connected with raid0. And i use 1.8TB for windows, i allocated 200gb for ubuntu. But when i try to install ubuntu, it shows 2TB disk, not 1.8TB and 0.2TB drives. So how can i install ubuntu in this case ?
[09:48] <rojina> i get this error ../../cocos2dx/platform/CCGL.h:89:19: fatal error: GL/gl.h: No such file or directory
[09:49] <juhsis> rojina: check if you have gl.h ..
[09:50] <bekks> juhsis: You cant do like you want it. Obviously you dont have a hardware raid0 controller, but a windows-based software-raid-controller, which is unusable in Ubuntu.
[09:51] <rojina> where i can check for gl.h?
[09:51] <juhsis> bekks : so what can i do?
[09:51] <bekks> juhsis: Eithe your set up a software raid in Ubuntu (while installing) or you just use two seperate disks.
[09:52] <juhsis> rojina: in command line write this : "$cd ../.." then "$sudo find -name 'gl.h' "
[09:52] <bekks> juhsis: And since you formatted both disks in Windows, for using them as RAID0, you have to kill that entire setup.
[09:53] <juhsis> bekks: i connect them in boot menu, not with windows..
[09:53] <juhsis> bekks: i have p8p67 mainboard, a brand new version with brand new technologies..
[09:54] <juhsis> bekks: so as i think, it is hardware controlled raid0
[09:54] <bekks> juhsis: And that mainboard does not have a hardware raid controller, but relies on a windows driver to create a windows-driver-based software raid.
[09:54] <bekks> It isnt.
[09:54] <juhsis> bekks: ahh ok
[09:55] <juhsis> bekks: i can format it if i will have both ubuntu and windows installed on my disk
[09:55] <juhsis> bekks: but if possible i want to use it as raid0 in future..
[09:55] <anonimus> hello
[09:56] <bekks> juhsis: Only as software raid, not as hardware raid. And without a backup, a RAID0 is pretty close to suicide ;)
[09:56] <juhsis> but i have external disk, which i save my important datum :)
[09:57] <kai_> Hello!
[09:57] <juhsis> bekks: so you suggest me to use them seperated, right?
[09:57] <bekks> juhsis: Yes.
[09:58] <bekks> software raid0 is one of the most insane ideas I've ever been confronted with, again and again.
[09:58] <anonimus> what is the irc chat support given in ubuntu 12.04, I was not able to logon to it?
[09:58] <bekks> anonimus: This channel. You are already there.
[09:58] <anonimus> is it that only registered users will be able to use the service?
[09:58] <bekks> anonimus: No.
[09:58] <juhsis> ok and the last question : how can i take their boot selections in same screen ?
[09:59] <anonimus> I am using this via chatzilla now
[09:59] <kai_> xchat irc
[09:59] <bekks> anonimus: You are already in the "official ubuntu support channel".
[09:59] <anonimus> not using the interface in ubuntu
[09:59] <kai_> Im using
[09:59] <bekks> juhsis: Thats a plain dual-boot setup. No rocket science :)
[09:59] <kai_> Apprently there are atleast 2 other people in this channel named Kai right now
[09:59] <kai_> randomness
[09:59] <juhsis> bekks: i want to see OS selection menu, on startup..
[10:00] <juhsis> But as i tried before, i couldnt see that menu..
[10:00] <bekks> juhsis: That is called Dual-boot.
[10:00] <bekks> juhsis: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot
[10:00] <juhsis> bekks: thanks :)
[10:00] <bekks> anonimus: Stop sending me DCC requests NOW.

[10:03] <tonysan> If I install Ubuntu and Windows on 2 different drives, I should just use GRUB and not to worry it will do anything to my Windows one?
[10:04] <T3X> anytime i tried to start dhcp server in ubuntu 12 it says "start: Job failed to start"
[10:04] <anonimus> anyone has the answer why default interface is not working ?
[10:04] <etea> tonysan i always found it better to install nix first then windows
[10:04] <tonysan> etea: yes, I have Windows installed now
[10:05] <etea> cuz if you arent very sure of what you are doing you can mess up your windows mbr ...l master boot record
[10:05] <tonysan> I would like the WIndows still booting if I removed Linux drive
[10:05] <tonysan> therefore I have 2 separate disks...
[10:05] <etea> well now though with the new ubuntu its preety easy i think you can pull it off
[10:05] <etea> with no problem
[10:06] <tonysan> And if things work pretty well, I would deprecate the Windows drive since I will be running Windows in Xen :P
[10:06] <T3X> anytime i tried to start dhcp server in ubuntu 12 it says "start: Job failed to start" anybody knows how to restart it?
[10:07] <can`t-login> anybody familiar with this problem?

[10:27] <iceroot> i want to know which program/command is used when i press fn + f5. i need the call which is done there. how to find out?
[10:27] <bekks> iceroot: fn+f5 is a hardcoded function of your laptop.
[10:27] <dr_willis> viju:  common  problem. no idea why it happins
[10:27] <bekks> iceroot: Thats not a program installed by ubuntu.
[10:27] <iceroot> bekks: so the os is not doing anything with that?
[10:27] <bekks> iceroot: Correct.
[10:28] <iceroot> bekks: ok :(
[10:28] <dr_willis> fn f5   does what?
[10:28] <bekks> dr_willis: Depends on his laptop - but Fn-Keys are hardcoded.

[10:28] <iceroot> dr_willis: disable/enable touchpad on this system
[10:29] <iceroot> dr_willis: and i have a nother system where the touchpad is dead and i want to know what is happening when pressing fn+f5 on the other pc to fix the dead one
[10:29] <dr_willis> yep. thats hardcoded.
[10:29] <Tanvir> iceroot, can you help to solve my problem?
[10:29] <Tanvir> Please. :-)
[10:30] <iceroot> dr_willis: windows killed my touchpad completly after coming back from suspend and the whole system cant use the touchpad and i dont have fn keys for a touchpad
[10:30] <dr_willis> i got fn keys that do payse play and other media things also.
[10:30] <dr_willis> weird..
[10:30] <Tanvir> I cannot update Ubuntu, I am getting this message: 0% [Connecting to <IP_ADDRESS> (<IP_ADDRESS>)].. how can I fix this?
[10:30] <dr_willis> suspend kills.. ;)
[10:30] <iceroot> Tanvir: connecting to <IP_ADDRESS>?
[10:31] <dr_willis> <IP_ADDRESS> is Google's  dns server.
[10:31] <iceroot> Tanvir: sounds like a very broken sources.list because <IP_ADDRESS> is not a repo but a dns server
[10:31] <dr_willis> bbl
[10:31] <anonimus> I had tried to use the detault for chat and selected irc but, its not loging me in, anyone using it?
[10:31] <iceroot> Tanvir: what is the outout of "ifconfig" "cat /etc/resolv.conf" and "cat /etc/apt/sources.list"
[10:31] <iceroot> !paste | Tanvir
[10:31] <Tanvir> iceroot, aye, I tried Google Public DNS because I had problem to visit some sites, but now I cannot update. I can I go back to previous settings?
[10:32] <Tanvir> Okay, looking
[10:33] <Guest95247> هل انا في مجتمع لينوكس العربي
[10:33] <Tanvir> iceroot, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1117230/ is for ifconfig
[10:35] <Tanvir> For resolv.conf --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1117235/
[10:35] <Tanvir> And for sources --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1117236/
[10:35] <Tanvir> Iceroot ^
[10:36] <iceroot> Tanvir: ping -c 4 <IP_ADDRESS>
[10:36] <iceroot> Tanvir: and "ping -c 4 google.com"
[10:37] <Tanvir> Iceroot, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1117239/ <-- Both are here.
[10:39] <iceroot> Tanvir: both looking fine. and the output of "sudo apt-get update"
[10:40] <Tanvir> That's the problem. :-/ http://paste.ubuntu.com/1117247/
[10:41] <Tanvir> Iceroot ^ (sorry, forgot to ping).
[10:43] <iceroot> Tanvir: hm looking strange
[10:43] <iceroot> any output of "grep <IP_ADDRESS> /etc/apt/*"?
[10:44] <anonimus> I had tried to use the default interface for chat (now using chatzilla in firefox) and selected irc but, its not loging me in, anyone using it, can anyone here help?
[10:45] <Tanvir> Iceroot, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1117261/
[10:47] <iceroot> Tanvir: you put the google dns as apt-proxy in your config
[10:47] <iceroot> Tanvir: /etc/apt/apt.conf:Acquire::http::proxy "http://<IP_ADDRESS>:8080/";
[10:48] <iceroot> Tanvir: why?
[10:48] <Tanvir> Iceroot, I have no idea. I was testing something, so maybe I messed up..
[10:48] <Tanvir> How can I fix this?
[10:48] <iceroot> Tanvir: remove http://<IP_ADDRESS>:8080/ from that file
[10:48] <Tanvir> Doing.
[10:49] <iceroot> Tanvir: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/apt.conf
[10:49] <Tanvir> I think I did not touch that file.. how things got changed there. o.O
[10:49] <iceroot> Tanvir: imo when you are setting a proxy server some tools are also changing that file
[10:50] <iceroot> Tanvir: but because <IP_ADDRESS> is not a proxy, its not working
[10:50] <Tanvir> Mhm.. I removed it.
[10:50] <Tanvir> Do I need to restart iceroot?
[10:50] <iceroot> Tanvir: no
[10:50] <iceroot> Tanvir: just "sudo apt-get update"
[10:50] <BluesKaj> Hiyas  all
[10:51] <Tanvir> Still the same thing.
[10:51] <Tanvir> iceroot, now it is "Acquire::http::proxy "";"
[10:51] <Tanvir> Did I do that right?
[10:51] <lotuspsychje> howto fix a corrupt mouse icon at boot? (it dissapears with a reboot)
[10:52] <Tanvir> Or do I need to remove the whole line..
[10:53] <iceroot> Tanvir: put # at the start of that line
[10:54] <Tanvir> Did so Iceroot. Still the same thing.
[10:55] <Orpheon> I have a .ogv file that I'd like to upload to youtube. Google points me towards ffmpeg, which tells me it's outdated and that I should use avconv instead. avconv complains of bad parameters. More googling reveals a mencoder line that works, but completely destroys the quality in the video.
[10:55] <Orpheon> And ideas?
[10:58] <alankila> Orpheon: maybe don't record/save videos in theora format in the future?
[10:58] <Orpheon> :(
[10:58] <Orpheon> I love Record my Desktop
[10:58] <Orpheon> but alas
[10:58] <Orpheon> ok
[10:59] <alankila> yeah, well, if youtube doesn't accept it and that's your primary use case, might make sense to select a format youtube works with.
[11:00] <Tanvir> Iceroot, any idea?
[11:01] <alankila> anyways theora is supposed to be fairly good quality -- and it's also question of bitrate -- so I assume theora can be downgraded to another format especially if bitrate is also reduced without appreciable artifacts (I hope)
[11:01] <alankila> that is, artifacts that arise from the video temporarily having been stored in theora
[11:02] <Orpheon> the artifacts with the mencoder line are mostly large uniform colors
[11:02] <Orpheon> that start tiling or something
[11:02] <Orpheon> or pixeling
[11:04] <T3X> Wtf is wrong with isc-dhcp-server cant start is cant stop it can do nothing about it useless dhcp server
[11:05] <fragged> Hey all, I installed xbuntu 12.04, and managed to nuke my windows XP partition, how do I get it back, and how to I get them to dual boot nicely?
[11:06] <vexus> fragged: does it exist if you open some programm like gpartet?
[11:07] <T3X> is there any support chanel for dhcp?
[11:09] <BluesKaj> fragged:  sudo os-prober ' then run 'sudo update-grub
[11:09] <CoolDude_> anyone from India ?
[11:10] <fragged> vexus, I can see and navigate the partition, BluesKaj that gave me nothing to indicate it'd found a Windows partition
[11:11] <BluesKaj> fragged:  W7 ?
[11:14] <fragged> BluesKaj, no, Windows XP
[11:15] <vexus> fragged: but BluesKaj is right if you like to boot your windows you have to update your grub, but may be i does not detect the right parameter or the partition itself so you have to do it yourself in the grub.conf
[11:16] <vexus> another way is to repair and manipulate the bootprogramm of windows
[11:16] <salvatore> hi how to install Java in ubuntu 12.04? i am trying this: http://thedaneshproject.com/posts/how-to-install-java-7-on-ubuntu-12-04-lts/  but i got some crash error...
[11:16] <salvatore> any help please?
[11:17] <vexus> salvatore: you really need the oracle java jdk oder only the futures of java 7?
[11:17] <sandertje> hi guys, my microphone stopped working after upgrading to 12.04
[11:18] <sandertje> the devices are detected, but no sound gets recorder
[11:18] <salvatore> well i am trying to run MASHUP for music on the cloud and it requires Java
[11:19] <salvatore> actually i do not know what would be the best package choice
[11:21] <vexus> salvatore: every normal ubuntu install comes with openjdk6 it is the freesofteware version of java and jdk most things should work fine with any modifications
[11:21] <silverpower> Any particular reason I'd get garbage on the screen when booting a Ubuntu CD?
[11:22] <silverpower> I'm suspecting nouveau's flaking out again, but...
[11:22] <vexus> salvatore:  and it has the most futures of Java 7
[11:22] <akhilblue> guys about the font problem i was mentioning earlier: http://imagebin.org/222504
[11:22] <akhilblue> the "9" in the long number.
[11:22] <romil> openjdk7 is disponible in ubuntu repositories
[11:24] <salvatore> so why when i try to run this web-app i am asked to install Java(TM)?
[11:25] <salvatore> hi how to install Java in ubuntu 12.04? i am trying this: http://thedaneshproject.com/posts/how-to-install-java-7-on-ubuntu-12-04-lts/  but i got some crash error...
[11:25] <vexus> salvatore: maybe it requires oracle java implementation
[11:25] <Orpheon> sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre or something, no?
[11:25] <salvatore> so?
[11:26] <salvatore> what can i do?
[11:26] <romil> salvatore: you install icedtea plugin?
[11:26] <salvatore> no
[11:27] <romil> to run java in navigator he is necessary
[11:27] <viju> for java I had downloaded an offline package from Oracle java site. and then put it in /usr/lib/jvm folder
[11:27] <viju> but I don't remember its url
[11:28] <xro> Hi, what is the best way to transer files between 2 pc? i use ssh (sftp) for the moment...
[11:28] <itamar-RS> oi
[11:29] <vexus> salvatore: it is too much to post it all look at this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java
[11:29] <Orpheon> salvatore, try this: $ sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre openjdk-7-jre icedtea6-plugin icedtea-7-plugin
[11:29] <viju> Orpheon, what's icedtea plugin used for?
[11:29] <Orpheon> it's the browser java plugin
[11:30] <Orpheon> I think
[11:30] <Orpheon> it allows browsers to use it
[11:30] <viju> oh
[11:30] <Qualia> which program is responsible from the mouse sensitivity in the default filemanager of UBUNTU ?
[11:30] <viju> so this is the reason I can't use online services requiring java, though java is already installed on my system
[11:31] <Orpheon> isn't there a setting somewhere for mouse sensivity?
[11:31] <cfhowlett> Qualia: settings are applied through mouse and pad settings
[11:31] <Orpheon> viju, could be
[11:31] <Orpheon> also I love the icedtea6-plugin icedtea-7-plugin
[11:31] <Qualia> no i mean the sensitivity of the integrated mousepad on laptop
[11:31] <Orpheon> notice the missing -
[11:31] <Qualia> its particularly very sensitive in the file manager window
[11:31] <Orpheon> Qualia, oh
[11:31] <viju> ah
[11:31] <Orpheon> no idea
[11:31] <viju> I love jdk7
[11:31] <akhilblue> cfhowlett: http://imagebin.org/222504
[11:32] <cfhowlett> Qualia: Mouse and Touchpad Sensitivity Options
[11:32] <akhilblue> cfhowlett: check out the "9" in the image. the letters also disappear the same way.
[11:33] <cfhowlett> akhilblue: sorry.  IDK when I signed out last time.  Not any smarter on this topic now...
[11:34] <sandertje> hi guys, my microphone stopped working after upgrading to 12.04
[11:34] <sandertje> the devices are detected, but no sound gets recorded
[11:35] <akhilblue> cfhowlett: this happens also in the live session.
[11:35] <cfhowlett> akhilblue: misconfigured/failing graphics card?
[11:36] <itamar__> oi
[11:36] <itamar-RS> oi
[11:37] <akhilblue> cfhowlett: i dont have a dedicated graphics card. i have a asus P5GC-MX mother board with intel® 945GC/ICH7 graphics
[11:39] <akhilblue> i got a message saying " internal error: telepathy" something. what does that mean
[11:39] <Qualia> cfhowlett, what I meant was actually probably the synaptics touchpad driver for X
[11:40] <cfhowlett> Qualia: ah.  sorry I can't direct you to a more precise resource than the one I already gave out.
[11:40] <Qualia> but im not sure if that's it, but scrolling while im in this file manager is much much more responsive with my touchpad than any other application
[11:41] <Qualia> ok no worries

[11:43] <Starn> what does this mean? (ubiquity:4329): gtk-critical **: gtk_widget_draw: assertion '!widget->priv->alloc_needed' failed?
[11:43] <cfhowlett> akhilblue: wait 1
[11:44] <vicium\a> Gonna drive over to the store and get a 1-1500 ~ laptop to run ubuntu on, any reccomendations or tips for what i should avoid and what i should aim for? intel/amd? ati/nvidia? any specific brand hp/dell etc that's rougher when it comes to drivers?
[11:46] <cfhowlett> akhilblue: see  http://askubuntu.com/questions/87090/how-do-i-install-drivers-for-an-intel-hd-graphics
[11:47] <dr_willis> id say go nvida. or intel.  vicium\a . watch out for the dual gpu optimus laptops. take a ubuntu live cd with you
[11:47] <akhilblue> cfhowlett: i dont have HD graphics!
[11:48] <vicium\a> Okay, thanks dr_willis!
[11:48] <vicium\a> live cd, good idea =)
[11:48] <dr_willis> vicium\a:  also laptops that have been out for a while may be less problematic.. and on sale
[11:48] <akhilblue> cfhowlett: any idea what this error could be? i got an internal error saying telepathy-idle
[11:49] <vicium\a> understood
[11:49] <xro> Hi, i use sftp to transfer files between to ubuntu laptop... but i have a really bad speed (400Kb/s)... have you an idea why?
[11:50] <bekks> xro: Because of the encryption of _S_FTP.
[11:50] <cfhowlett> akhilblue: telepathy is the old messaging manager.  Not sure it's in 12.04 as I use xubuntu, not ubuntu
[11:50] <dr_willis> vicium\a: i also get a new hd to put in my linux laptops. that way i replace the wundows hd. ;) so when i sell the laptop a tear or 2 later i just swap the hd back
[11:50] <xro> bekks, do you think encryption is so dare?
[11:51] <bekks> xro: I dont even think so, I know it :)
[11:51] <vicium\a> dr_willis: Cant you just run a recovery disk though?
[11:51] <vicium\a> Hmm sounds like a good idea though
[11:52] <xro> bekks, ohh, i knew that encryption will low my rate... but i thought less than what i get... so i should set up a ftp server....
[11:52] <dr_willis> vicium\a: its taken me hours.. literraly to restore windows ....
[11:53] <dr_willis> with the restore partitiin ir dvds..
[11:53] <alankila> encryption shouldn't hurt speed that much... it can defeat compression in some forms of vpn, but I think modern CPUs should encrypt over 10 MB/s
[11:54] <xro> alankila, i thought that too... but i only get 400Kb/s in my lan... (i get much more when i download from the internet....)
[11:54] <xro> and the CPUs are nearly sleeping.... i have 2 quad core i7...
[11:54] <antonio_> What is the highest version of Adobe Air that can be installed?  Isn't it like 2.6?
[11:55] <bekks> xro: Well, use NFS in your LAN then.
[11:55] <xro> bekks, nfs between 2 laptop ?
[11:55] <bekks> Sure, why not?
[11:55] <xro> bekks, yes that's possible...
[11:55] <dr_willis> !info sshfs
[11:56] <bekks> xro: Or use FTP, or CIFS.
[11:56] <xro> bekks, not cifs... i thougth about FTP
[11:56] <dr_willis> i get faster sco speeds then that.. not sure how that differs from sftp
[11:57] <dr_willis> scp should be same as sftp?
[11:57] <cyphase> is there a way to make ubuntu 12.04 display things in MB instead of MiB?
[11:58] <bekks> dr_willis: It's is the same encryption, but a different protocol :)
[11:59] <dr_willis> so speeds should be close
[11:59] <xro> ok.. i'll do some checks... by and thank you
[11:59] <dr_willis> if encryption Was the bottleneck
[12:00] <BluesKaj> I found NFS to be more reliable/stable than sshfs
[12:01] <tezter> after worrying about my CPU performing very slow with ubuntu, i wonder if i have misconfigured anything. it's a amd phenom II X4 and it looks like only #1 is in use and sometimes #2, but the rest is wasted.
[12:01] <dr_willis> scp has a don't encrypt  option dont it?

[12:02] <Jonii> When program window in Ubuntu 12.04 disappears, how can you get it back?
[12:02] <Jonii> My strongest guess is that it's gone beyond desktop area, due to some weird glitch. Is there any way to get it in the middle of current desktop or anything?
[12:03] <auronandace> Jonii: hold down the super key (windows logo), you'll see shortcuts then
[12:04] <alfatau> hello, i'm a linux newbie. is there a simple way to set a disk partition to be automatically get mounted at boot?
[12:04] <Jonii> super+w brings all open windows, it has empty, non-clickable window-shaped empty space in the middle of that listing, so I'm unsure if the window in question is just gone, unrecoverable, or if there's a way to get it back
[12:05] <auronandace> !fstab | alfatau

[12:33] <gavri> I've installed ubuntu 12.04 on macbook pro 8,2. dual head works, except it's cloned and I'd like different workspaces on the monitors. however, I can't invoke nvidia-settings which is how I used to make this work earlier on my previous laptops. I get "you do not appear to be using the nvidia x" driver
[12:34] <BluesKaj> auronandace:  that could be it ...his question piqued my interest. I've been thinking about doing that for a while.

[13:12] <derbie> I dont want to format but to somehow fix the boot sector so i wont have to backup everything (80GB of info) and reinstall all programs....
[13:13] <lotuspsychje> derbie: maybe hd is corrupt on windows
[13:13] <bekks> derbie: so you have 80GB of worthless data? :) reformat it then, and start over, that is faster than fixing stuff.
[13:13] <derbie> not worthless
[13:13] <derbie> important data
[13:13] <derbie> ANd i dont want to buffer it with a 1gb usb from that PC to this one and back
[13:14] <bekks> derbie: Then create a backup. Otherwise that data is worthless.

[13:28] <BluesKaj> gavri: have you installed fglrx-amdcccle ?  think it might be what you mean by equivalent nvidia-settings

[13:29] <minimec> mapreri: ... but I think there is a patched ppa version which adds it again.
[13:32] <Antaranian> Hi
[13:32] <mapreri> minimec: thx for the explanations
[13:32] <ControllerSYR> hello
[13:32] <minimec> mapreri: no problem
[13:33] <mapreri> minimec: :)
[13:33] <Antaranian> I've connected an external monitor to my notebook with nvidia card, now nvidia detects it, but I can't see it in system settings even after I've restarted x
[13:33] <Antaranian> what can I do to use my second monitor ?
[13:34] <minimec> Antaranian: If you are using the property driver of nvidia, it would probably only show in nvidia-settings.
[13:35] <Antaranian> minimec: it is, but I can't use it as a fully functional monitor
[13:35] <hiren> hello
[13:36] <Antaranian> can't move window to it, can't change backgrount, etc. Just I can see my mouse pointer there when I move cursor to the right
[13:36] <hiren> hi
[13:36] <hiren> i am having problem with microphone
[13:36] <minimec> Antaranian: Hmm.. You have to activate it first and use 'twinview', if you don't want 'cloned mode'
[13:37] <hiren> can any one help
[13:37] <Antaranian> minimec: twinview is clonning current desktop to second monitor, right ?
[13:37] <hiren> hello
[13:37] <hiren> i need expert
[13:37] <hiren> help
[13:37] <minimec> Antaranian: 'twinview' should give you an extended desktop over the two screens.
[13:38] <hiren> hello
[13:38] <hiren> is anyone for help
[13:38] <Antaranian> so I can't setup different workspaces settings for each independently ? minimec ?
[13:39] <raul_> hi
[13:40] <ControllerSYR> hello
[13:40] <minimec> Antaranian: Not really. You cannot switch to workspace 'two' on one screen and keep workspace 'one' on the other. Imho only e17 is able to do that (guess what I am using...).
[13:41] <hiren> hello
[13:41] <minimec> Antaranian: You should be able to use two screens with different resolution. Unity should handle that.

[13:46] <mi3> hey guys I am using ubuntu 12.04 LTS 32bit with cairo-dock, I seem to be having a problem of firefox title [which contains the close,maximize,and minimize buttons]disappearing http://imagebin.org/222513 any suggestions ? :D
[13:48] <User_007> Hello! i got a problem with lightdm. After it starts, the login screen appears, but it takes 30 seconds until i can really select other user or type my password. Does anyone have a clue about the problem?
[13:49] <scmaccal> no clue
[13:49] <VanKush> mi3: a rather offlimit suggestion would be switching to KDE ^^
[13:49] <mi3> VanKush: well I was not exactly hoping for that suggestion, sir/ma'am/bot.
[13:50] <VanKush> User_007: tried to reconfigure lightdm? also, do you have other DM installed?
[13:51] <minimec> mi3: Well... Sudo apt-get install gdm. You will be asked for your default login manager during install. There you choose 'gdm'. No need to use KDE. I would never do that either... ;)
[13:51] <mi3> minimec: I am not using KDE, I am using cairo dock along with unity....
[13:51] <mi3> Its not KDE.
[13:52] <VanKush> minimec: User_007 is the one with DM issue .)
[13:52] <minimec> mi3: As I said. I would never use KDE either... ;)
[13:52] <User_007> VanKush, i don't use other DM, but i have accidentally installed gdm here, but it is already purged and i already run dpkg-reconfigure lightdm.
[13:52] <BluesKaj> cairo dock is gtk is it not ?
[13:52] <minimec> VanKush: Oh ;)
[13:52] <mi3> ??
[13:52] <User_007> http://paste.debian.net/181069/
[13:52] <BluesKaj> minimec:  have you tried kde lately ?
[13:53] <minimec> User_007: Well... Sudo apt-get install gdm. You will be asked for your default login manager during install. There you choose 'gdm'.
[13:53] <User_007> minimec, but so i will have to use gdm right? if possible i want to fix the problem with lightdm
[13:53] <minimec> BluesKaj: I am pretty sure that kde is a valuable desktop, but I never liked its design. I use e17 WM with gtk applications.
[13:54] <VanKush> User_007: has the gdm install introduced new session profiles to lightdm?
[13:55] <User_007> VanKush, i am not sure, how can i check it?
[13:55] <killer_> boot time in 12.04 is about 40-50sec.....how 2 reduce it??
[13:55] <minimec> User_007: I saw this kind of delay with lightdm on some computers (2-3 sec). It might depend on hardware.
[13:56] <User_007> minimec, i have a 2nd Gen i7
[13:57] <Salman_2> Hi
[13:57] <User_007> minimec, and the delay is about 30 seconds

[13:57] <VanKush> User_007: in logon screen you will have session profiles under the user/pwd fields
[13:57] <minimec> User_007: well CPU should be ok... ;) Do you use the Intel HD4000 GPU? I have a i5 3570k(ivy) and don't have any delay.

[14:14] <bobross> Hello everyone
[14:14] <MonkeyDust> greenit  not any random user can add something to the repos
[14:14] <bobross> Is there a way to uninstall Ubunut from within Ubunu?
[14:14] <dr_willis> 12.10 has somthing like that i recall reaxi g..

[14:14] <kirbey> I'm using the Live Cd
[14:15] <greenit> yeah, but it was part of the app-showdown, just wanted to know if it will probably come to the repos :)
[14:15] <dr_willis> lilo -  why are you using lilo?
[14:15] <MonkeyDust> !lilo
[14:16] <kirbey> ubottu: i intend to use it so i  can repair the boot ini of windows xp
[14:16] <kirbey> Oh..
[14:16] <MonkeyDust> greenit  create a PPA and hope someone picks it up from the place where you make it available
[14:16] <dr_willis> i dont see how lilo helps that.
[14:16] <kirbey> sudo lilo -m /dev/mbr
[14:16] <greenit> MonkeyDust, ^^
[14:17] <greenit> MonkeyDust, well, then i'll just add the repo of the creator :)
[14:17] <dr_willis> kirbey:  and that does what...
[14:17] <kirbey> idk im just blindly following a tutorial on the web
[14:17] <dr_willis> is find a newer tutorial
[14:17] <Salman> I have windows Xp 1908hp
[14:17] <kirbey> do you suggest another way to fix the boot?
[14:18] <MonkeyDust> kirbey  better ask in the channel ##windows

[14:23] <UICTamale> Hi everyone, fresh install of 12.04 64bit on an AMD CPU desktop system with an nVidia 8800 GTS video card, and my resolution is stuck at 640x480 - both before and after I installed the proprietary drivers
[14:24] <meoblast001> hi
[14:24] <meoblast001> my machine keeps complaining /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 is not ready or not found on startup
[14:24] <meoblast001> but then the machine functions normally afterwards
[14:24] <MonkeyDust> UICTamale  ubuntu uses its own nvidia drivers
[14:25] <MonkeyDust> !nvidia
[14:25] <chroot_> hi, how can i open a blog?
[14:25] <meoblast001> is this something i should just ignore, or is it a sign of a problem?
[14:25] <ThinkT510> chroot_: not a ubuntu support question
[14:25] <ridcully1st_> hello, my openbox config manager does not react on keyboard inputs, could somebody help me with that ( in #lubuntu is no one answering)
[14:25] <UICTamale> MonkeyDust: ok, but why can't I select other resolutions?  My monitor supports many, all the way up to 2560x1440
[14:25] <mr_lou> What does it require to be able to play a standard DVD movie? I keep getting "Could not  read from resource" when I try. Been like that for years.
[14:25] <chroot_> ThinkT510: where should i ask this question?
[14:26] <mr_lou> I have all the gstreamer codecs, afaik.
[14:26] <UICTamale> MonkeyDust: And during the install, I had my native resolution.
[14:26] <ThinkT510> chroot_: try #ubuntu-offtopic
[14:26] <chris_d> chroot_, http://lmgtfy.com/?q=start+a+blog
[14:26] <ThinkT510> chris_d: don't use that here
[14:26] <chris_d> bite me
[14:27] <chroot_> chris_d: nice, thanks.
[14:28] <MonkeyDust> UICTamale  yeah, a live session is not always the same as an installation, follow the links ubottu shows you
[14:28] <UICTamale> MonkeyDust: I have.. I've also followed all the advice given on askubuntu and the ubuntu forums
[14:28] <UICTamale> MonkeyDust: It seems this problem happens to quite a few people and no one's found a solution.
[14:29] <MonkeyDust> UICTamale  nvidia and mr torvald's are not the best of friends
[14:29] <Salman> Pm! | MonkeyDust hi
[14:29] <MonkeyDust> torvalds*
[14:29] <UICTamale> So I've noticed :)
[14:29] <Salman> :D
[14:29] <UICTamale> none-the-less, I thought I could at least do a manual xrandr modeline addition
[14:29] <UICTamale> but even that failed

[14:30] <FlowRiser> Hello, does somebody here use lightdm-webkit ?
[14:30] <FlowRiser> i'm a newb, and the documentation doesn't really cover all the things
[14:31]  * mr_lou found the answer to his own question: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/musicvideophotos/C/video-dvd.html
[14:31] <MonkeyDust> FlowRiser  start from the beginning, what do you want to do and what have you tried before you came here
[14:31] <Salman>   /help
[14:32] <FlowRiser> Okay, well i'm basically wondering what are the limitations of the webkit; Can it use flash or java applets ?
[14:32] <endik> hiii
[14:33] <ThinkT510> FlowRiser: lightdm is a login manager, why would you want it to use flash or java?
[14:33] <aaron> yea skip the flash and java
[14:33] <FlowRiser> to make it prettier
[14:33] <aaron> Everything can be done with HTML5
[14:33] <FlowRiser> so it supports html5 ?
[14:34] <aaron> I would assume so
[14:34] <FlowRiser> The documentation just says HTML/CSS, and doesn't really help at all
[14:35] <iceroot> FlowRiser: flash and java are non free software, so there is no need to use something like that and if possible try not to use that kind of software
[14:35] <ThinkT510> especially in a login manager
[14:35] <kai__>  there not "freeware" which means you cant just go in there and edit there code
[14:35] <kai__> however they are "free" to download there version.
[14:35] <iceroot> kai__: freeware does not mean you can edit the code
[14:35] <kai__> Im not to great with the terms
[14:35] <iceroot> kai__: they are "free as in free beer" but not "free as in free speech"
[14:36] <iceroot> !free | kai__
[14:36] <FlowRiser> I see, thanks :)
[14:36] <iceroot> kai__: everything which is not "free as in free speech" is not good because its taking away your rights
[14:37] <kai__> so you dont like steam ext?
[14:37] <iceroot> kai__: we would like something like steam but as free as in free speech more
[14:37] <aaron> OK, so from some research it only supports HTML, Javascript, and CSS
[14:37] <aaron> http://bobthegnome.blogspot.ca/2010/07/lightdm.html
[14:38] <FlowRiser> About that javascript, i cannot seem to make sense of the functions from the default theme ...
[14:39] <aaron> Anyone have any experience with Ubuntu for arm?
[14:40] <iceroot> !arm | aaron
[14:40] <User_007> i am back
[14:40] <aaron> @ubottu thanks
[14:41] <dr_willis> !bot
[14:42] <dr_willis> no need for @ on irc either.
[14:42] <gucko> hi guys
[14:42] <MagneticDuck> hiah, a little question from a linux newbie
[14:42] <MagneticDuck> I have a *.pdf file
[14:42] <MagneticDuck> with a very long name
[14:42] <MagneticDuck> echo *.pdf returns that name
[14:42] <MagneticDuck> how do I use what echo returns to edit the file?
[14:43] <iceroot> MagneticDuck: tab
[14:43] <MagneticDuck> so.. tab | echo *.pdf?
[14:43] <iceroot> MagneticDuck: command first-characters-of-the-name TAB
[14:43] <MagneticDuck> w/out ?
[14:43] <dr_willis> why do you need to MagneticDuck
[14:43] <iceroot> MagneticDuck: tab is a key on your keyboard
[14:43] <karl-augustt> please, how can  I install a missing firmware on my ubuntu 10.10, which not permit WlAN connections
[14:43] <MagneticDuck> ah
[14:43] <iceroot> !eol | karl-augustt
[14:43] <escott> MagneticDuck, gedit firstfewletters[TAB]
[14:43] <gucko> I installed Ubuntu server on a hard disk (I can't recall which version but maybe LTS version of 10) and now when I mount it on another Ubuntu server machine I only see the GRUP files! How can I mount the other partitions please?
[14:43] <dr_willis> !tab
[14:44] <User_007> lightdm.log : http://paste.debian.net/181069/     ##    x-0-greeter.log: http://paste.debian.net/181074/     ##  x-0.log http://paste.debian.net/181075/
[14:44] <karl-augustt> ok thanks
[14:44] <MagneticDuck> well, it's a tad hard to view a pdf  in gedit is it not?
[14:44] <MagneticDuck> >.<
[14:44] <dr_willis> !mount| gu
[14:45] <FlowRiser> @gucko, i think you can see the drives by: fdisk -l
[14:45] <dr_willis> gedit is a text editor
[14:45] <MagneticDuck> yes...
[14:45] <MagneticDuck> editing a pdf is a tad difficult eh?
[14:45] <cheako> Hello, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1117608/  Nothing in the logs.  This error causes logrotate to sqwak.
[14:45] <gucko> FlowRiser: I am, but when I mount the disk /dev/sdb I only get the GRUP files.
[14:45] <iceroot> MagneticDuck: no
[14:45] <dr_willis> gucko:  see the mount factoid above
[14:46] <iceroot> gucko: sdb is a device
[14:46] <iceroot> gucko: sdb1 is a partition
[14:46] <dr_willis> mount the other partition  gucko
[14:47] <iceroot> MagneticDuck: you can edit pdfs with "inkscape"
[14:47] <gucko> dr_willis: when I mount any other partition I get "you must specify the filesystem type". Could it be LVM or something?
[14:47] <cheako> Ohh, I know why!
[14:47] <iceroot> gucko: you created the partitons so we dont know if it is lvm
[14:47] <cheako> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1007089
[14:48] <gucko> iceroot: I didn't. When I installed ubuntu server on this hd I left the defaults
[14:48] <dr_willis> we dont know gucko.  pastebin   sudo fdisk - l       output
[14:48] <iceroot> gucko: then its not lvm and not raid
[14:48] <iceroot> gucko: sudo fdisk -l   to see the partitions
[14:48] <gucko> ok
[14:50] <gucko> iceroot: dr_willis : http://d.pr/i/SETu
[14:50] <Ubuntu-> hi there
[14:50] <iceroot> gucko: you installed ubuntu on 2 hdds?
[14:51] <excalibr> any idea why this custom launcher doesn't show on unity launcher?
[14:51] <excalibr> http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=8D3jP0SP
[14:51] <iceroot> gucko: or is each hdd another installation?
[14:51] <gucko> iceroot: I'm on a virtual machine with ubuntu server. I want to mount this on this machine so I can copy the files and then format the hd.
[14:51] <ThinkT510> gucko: uhh, how big is your swap partition?
[14:51] <gucko> iceroot: each is another installation
[14:51] <iceroot> gucko: and the one you want to mount is the 250gb or the 500gb drive?
[14:52] <gucko> iceroot: the first is 20GB (the virtual) and the one I want to mount is the 500gb
[14:52] <iceroot> gucko: the lvm one
[14:52] <gucko> iceroot: so it's lvm
[14:53] <killer_> i have mate desktop installd on one of my machines n dun wanna download it again

[14:56] <User_007> minimec, i already tested, no problem with wallpaper and i already done a dpkg-reconfigure lightdm
[14:58] <nunchuk> Hello. I would like to repartition my current HD to dual boot Windows 7 and linux. For this, I presume, I would need to format it, losing the current installation of windows. Would it be difficult to reinstall it, having at hand the windows key?
[14:58] <ask4n> hail!
[14:58] <ThinkT510> nunchuk: you'd need the install disk too
[14:58] <iceroot> nunchuk: so at the moment you only have windows installed?
[14:59] <FlowRiser> nunchuk: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/install-ubuntu-with-windows
[14:59] <nunchuk> I would just shrink the ucrrent partition by using the internal windows utilities, but I want windows to occupy only the last blocks of the HDD
[14:59] <nunchuk> iceroot: yes
[14:59] <FlowRiser> i see
[14:59] <nunchuk> ThinkT510: that can be arraged
[14:59] <iceroot> nunchuk: there is a resize-option in the ubuntu installer
[14:59] <nunchuk> FlowRiser: Thanks for the link, will take a look. ;)
[14:59] <iceroot> nunchuk: which will resize the windows-installation
[15:00] <iceroot> nunchuk: of course a backup is (like always) a good idea
[15:00] <ThinkT510> nunchuk: if you can simply resize partitions then there's no need for a reinstall
[15:00] <MagneticDuck> okay... how to I take a program and use its stdout as parameter to another program?
[15:00] <nunchuk> iceroot: Will it make windows occupy only the final blocks also?
[15:00] <MagneticDuck> like: gedit (echo *.txt)
[15:00] <MagneticDuck> that doesn't work
[15:00] <tupelkalkuel> Is there an easy way to have a script executed when a certain usb-drive is automounted?
[15:00] <MagneticDuck> so what do I use?
[15:00] <BluesKaj> nunchuk:  mak sure you run all your windows updates before partitioning
[15:01] <User_007> The problem is: lightdm start -> it seems to freeze during 30 seconds with my login selected ( not even the wallpaper is loaded), i can't input the password. After the 30 seconds (without anything happening) it just go back to normal. So i can insert my password and login normally
[15:01] <iceroot> MagneticDuck: gedit *.txt
[15:01] <MagneticDuck> ah
[15:01] <gucko> oh my god! I was able to mount it but now the home directory is encrypted!!!!
[15:01] <iceroot> MagneticDuck: to open all files endiing with txt in the current folder
[15:02] <gucko> Is there anyway to boot from this hard disk on a virtual machine? Because that computer is in another country!
[15:02] <MagneticDuck> okay..
[15:02] <MagneticDuck> but my real problem
[15:02] <MagneticDuck> HOW TO DO SEND THE RESULT OF A PROGRAM INTO ANOTHER PROGRAM via its parameters?
[15:03] <MagneticDuck> like... find the status of the process whose PID is in a text file
[15:03] <MagneticDuck> that kind of thing
[15:03] <iceroot> MagneticDuck: ps aux | grep init
[15:03] <iceroot> MagneticDuck: for example
[15:03] <User_007> if i do block the screen, and hit change user it opens a new lightdm on tty8, and the same problem happens again
[15:03] <User_007> does anyone have a clue about this problem?
[15:05] <jeffrey> anyone know how i can style xfce like ubuntu?
[15:05] <iceroot> MagneticDuck: ps aux | grep $(<your-file-name)  for example to find all processes matching what is in the file
[15:06] <iceroot> MagneticDuck: for more bash-questiions see #bash
[15:06] <minimec> User_007: Did you upgrade  from an older system? Could an old lightdm config file cause the problem??
[15:06] <MagneticDuck> okay
[15:06] <FlowRiser> MagneticDuck: You can assign the output to a variable by using j=$(command); in bash
[15:07] <MagneticDuck> yes
[15:07] <User_007> minimec, no it was a fresh install. It don't use to happen before yesterday. Today i purged lightdm and deleted every file/folder with lightdm on it's name, and then installed lightdm again

[15:09] <phillyj> i did the sec. updates for 12.04 yesterday and now my lan doesnt work; no eth0 in ifconfig but lspci shows my driver; no driver in dmesg
[15:09] <phillyj> so is it uninstalled or just not active somewhere?
[15:09] <minimec> User_007: I have no clue sorry.
[15:10] <FlowRiser> User_007: Try going to /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf and change the greeter to: unity-greeter and reboot
[15:10] <phillyj> edit: lspci shows my ethernet card
[15:11] <FlowRiser> User_007: that is the default ubuntu greeter, maybe it'll work faster
[15:11] <User_007> FlowRiser, it's already  unity-greeter:
[15:12] <User_007> [SeatDefaults] greeter-session=unity-greeter
[15:12] <FlowRiser> what's the user-session ?
[15:12] <OerHeks> iceroot, how do i ask the bot factoids to be updated, removing aptitude in !aptoncd ?
[15:13] <phillyj> if after kernel update, my driver doesn't seem to be there, should i just reinstall it?
[15:13] <User_007> FlowRiser, nothing else is written on the file
[15:14] <BluesKaj> phillyj:  doubt the driver is gone , did you run ifconfig ?
[15:14] <User_007> FlowRiser, just [SeatDefaults] greeter-session=unity-greeter
[15:14] <iceroot> OerHeks: i think the guys in #ubuntu-bot knows it
[15:14] <FlowRiser> if you are running Ubuntu, then try adding on a new line: user-session=ubuntu
[15:14] <iceroot> OerHeks: #ubuntu-bots
[15:14] <OerHeks> iceroot, thanks, i check with them.
[15:14] <phillyj> BluesKaj: yes, ifconfig doesn't show eth0, just "lo"
[15:14] <minimec> User_007: That is interesting. Add user-session=ubuntu after [SeatDefaults]
[15:14] <FlowRiser> User_007, but be carefull
[15:15] <cheako> Does any one have any ideas for dealing with bugs that affect you or ppl you know that don't seam to get any attention?
[15:15] <User_007> User_007,
[15:15] <User_007> FlowRiser, ok
[15:15] <FlowRiser> User_007, if it doesn't work you'll have to go into recovery mode and change the file back
[15:15] <FlowRiser> User_007, that's if you get locked out of your system
[15:16] <gucko> how to show the textual boot window insteal of the graphical one?
[15:16] <gucko> is there a command to show that while booting in graphic?
[15:16] <ThinkT510> !text | gucko

[15:17] <FlowRiser> gucko: i was just trying to suggest the shift method; keep pressing shift when ubuntu boots, then select resume, you should have a text output now
[15:17] <BluesKaj> phillyj:  check the /etc/network./interfaces file , see if auto eth0 is listed there

[15:22] <escott> gucko, it seems to think you have a chipset like via epic which has a hardware crypto implementation. perhaps you are trying to boot a different device than the one you initially installed with?
[15:22] <Drknzz> sakax, i dont believe an update would be needed
[15:22] <MonkeyDust> the guy who juwt asked to boot in text mode: you can also alt-tab until the 5 dots are filled (ust tried it)
[15:22] <MonkeyDust> typos
[15:22] <BluesKaj> phillyj:  add the auto eth0 line under auto lo , you'll need root permissions to do so , then save the file , the run sudo dhclient eth0 ...the kernel source driver should be installed , it just might need enabling / loading
[15:22] <sakax> Drknzz - yes i need it - current version does not support hide_hid_files command
[15:22] <inoji> i'm having an issue booting to the installer as well
[15:23] <ThinkT510> !find padlock-sha | dr_willis
[15:23] <dr_willis> sakax:  ubuntu dosent always update to the 'latest'  unless security bugs
[15:23] <sakax> how can i force ubuntu to update it?
[15:23] <dr_willis> ThinkT510:  error message said _ or perhahs he typed it wrong. ;)
[15:23] <inoji> when i install ubuntu alongside windows and restart to boot up my screen tears and i cant continue the process
[15:23] <BluesKaj> phillyj:  add the auto eth0 line under auto lo , in /etc/network/interfaces
[15:23] <Drknzz> sakax, then im pretty sure the installing the build-essentials and kernel-headers packages wouldd suffice to run configure, make, make install
[15:24] <User_007>  FlowRiser, minimec Thanks! it really solved the problem!
[15:24] <escott> !nomodeset | inoji
[15:24] <dr_willis> sakax:  short answer. you dont.. or find a ppa or use source
[15:24] <inoji> thanks
[15:24] <FlowRiser> User_007: I'm glad it worked, you are the first person i helped here :D
[15:24] <minimec> User_007: Good to know.
[15:24] <ThinkT510> !cookie | FlowRiser
[15:24] <gucko_> This is the FATAL error I'm getting when it starts to boot from the external hd: http://d.pr/i/ZJGj
[15:25] <sakax> yes i need a ppa or source indeed - do you know the one for ntfs-3g?
[15:25] <User_007> :D
[15:25] <ControllerSYR> !msgthebot | Os_
[15:25] <FlowRiser> yay :D
[15:25] <MonkeyDust> sakax  your question may not be supported here
[15:25] <dr_willis> !ppa
[15:25] <gucko_> escott: yes I'm booting from an external hd. The hd was on a destop server and now I'm trying to boot from a laptop.
[15:25] <sakax> seriously? :(
[15:25] <sakax> its ubuntu related
[15:26] <dr_willis> so?
[15:26] <ControllerSYR> how i call boot
[15:26] <ThinkT510> sakax: ppas aren't supported here
[15:26] <dr_willis> we cant support everything in the world. ;)
[15:26] <dr_willis> !backports | sakax
[15:27] <gucko> so is there any chance to boot from the hd?
[15:27] <MonkeyDust> sakax  like: "how do i order a hotel in ubuntu" => not supported
[15:27] <User_007> Guys, i have a doubt. Before i could disable services using rcconf, but now it seems to not work. What can i use to disable services i don't use?

[15:27] <sakax> bad comparison MonkeyDust - a real bad one
[15:27] <phillyj> BluesKaj: i get error that device "eth0" not found
[15:27] <Drknzz> sakax, http://www.tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-download/ Try dopwnloading the latest version
[15:28] <phillyj> BluesKaj: i think i got it, maybe
[15:28] <dr_willis> but if your pc explodes....
[15:29] <phillyj> BluesKaj: i had my stock driver blacklisted and installed another driver because of issues

[15:29] <shaneo> hey guys im trying to install a mono script for now playing support in xchat for last fm. when i run the make command I get the error error CS0006: Metadata file `System.Web' could not be found. anyone know what im missing or how i can fix this ?
[15:29] <phillyj> BluesKaj: maybe the new driver was removed; i will remove the original from blacklist and check again
[15:30] <BluesKaj> phillyj:  lspci | grep -i net
[15:30] <jeffrey> anyone know how to properly set a mac keyboard? the f1-f12 keys dont work properly with shorucuts like alt+f2 (run cmd)
[15:30] <ThinkT510> BluesKaj: does the -i make that case insensitive?
[15:31] <phillyj> BluesKaj: ok, not in blacklist but what do you need to know in lspci?
[15:32] <BluesKaj> ThinkT510:  dunno I always thought it meant to grep the installed version
[15:32] <nomike> hi
[15:33] <BluesKaj> phillyj:  something ike this: 00:07.0 Bridge: NVIDIA Corporation MCP61 Ethernet (rev a2)
[15:33] <nomike> I want to change the wallpaper for the "lightdm" greeter. I already figured out the command: "gsettings set com.canonical.unity-greeter background '/usr/share/poepi/unity-greeter-background.png'"
[15:34] <ThinkT510> BluesKaj: i just checked man grep, it does mean ignore case
[15:34] <ThinkT510> BluesKaj: yay, i guessed right
[15:35] <BluesKaj> ThinkT510:  ok , I learned something new today :)
[15:35] <User_007> ThinkT510, nice! Is there any rcconf like program to upstart?
[15:35] <nomike> I need to execute this command as a the "lightdm" user which still is no problem, but what's problematic is that "gsettings" seems to need a running X11-Server for whatsoever reason. As I want to execute these commands during the install phase of the Workstation in an installation script, I have no running X11 server
[15:35] <phillyj> BluesKaj: 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 06)
[15:35] <nomike> Any Ideas how to get this running?
[15:35] <ThinkT510> User_007: sorry, i'm not familiar with upstart, i just know of the factooid

[15:38] <bcgrown> anybody manage to get the CTV olympic videos to play?  i installed moonlight 3.99 but all i get is a grey square where the video should be.  xubuntu 12.04 64-bit,  firefox 14.0.1
[15:38] <ThinkT510> bcgrown: the olympics uses silverlight? urgh
[15:38] <bcgrown> ThinkT510: yeah,  they did in 2010 too :(
[15:39] <phillyj> BluesKaj: umm, this driver is not stock and so i made some changes to make it work
[15:39] <dr_willis> sounds like drm to me
[15:39] <phillyj> BluesKaj: maybe the settings were erased during the update
[15:39] <ThinkT510> bcgrown: don't you mean 2008, its every 4 years isn't it?
[15:40] <BluesKaj> phillyj:  sudo modprobe r8169
[15:40] <bcgrown> ThinkT510: no I mean 2010.  There are winter olympics too :)
[15:40] <ThinkT510> bcgrown: ah, sorry
[15:40] <bekks> ThinkT510: bcgrown: summer games are every 4y, winter games too. They alterate every 2y.
[15:40] <phillyj> BluesKaj: YES, thank you so much
[15:41] <BluesKaj> phillyj:  working ok ?
[15:41] <phillyj> yes, its working
[15:41] <BluesKaj> ok good :)
[15:42] <bcgrown> doesn't work in chromium either.  lame!
[15:42] <escott> nomike, does it really require an xserver or just a dbus server
[15:42] <dr_willis> now you cant see the ads.. err.. events..
[15:43] <ollie_> Hi, when I try to install ubuntu via usb using the usb creator, I get a black screen with a blinking cursor in the top left. This happened with two different usb sticks. What is wrong?
[15:43] <ollie_> Also, the md5 of the iso is okay
[15:44] <ThinkT510> !nomodeset | ollie_
[15:45] <escott> ollie_, does the computer you are trying to boot support usb boot?

[15:55] <PurpleTrouble> lpr -P LBP-1120 filename.pdf
[15:55] <Salman> Not PDF
[15:55] <Salman> Filename.exe
[15:55] <PurpleTrouble> no, it is a pdf

[16:00] <ulkesh> mafiaboy: it's a guess, but if all 10 are in the same folder, could you not do this:  dpkg -i *.deb
[16:01] <zykotick9> bekks: ulkesh - that may, or may not, work.  dpkg might not install in correct order...
[16:02] <mafiaboy> belkks , ulkesh : some packages need to be installed before other......so will it install in correct order
[16:02] <zykotick9> mafiaboy: no. dpkg -i has nothing to get correct order from...
[16:03] <cdehaan> Hello! I've got a VPS installed with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, but I'm finding that once I add a new user, I can no longer "su" into root, and on top of that the user isn't added to "sudo," so the machine is locked out. How do I add a user to "sudo"?
[16:03] <nomike> ok...I got it working...thx and cu
[16:03] <User_007> Is there any rcconf application for upstart?
[16:03] <User_007> *rcconf-like
[16:03] <zykotick9> User_007: no.
[16:04] <PurpleTrouble> bah, openoffice could not print the pdf :/
[16:05] <User_007> zykotick9, so how do i enable/disable the services on boot?
[16:05] <ulkesh> mafiaboy: this may help, but again not positive (i don't have a good way to test):  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=62943
[16:06] <zykotick9> User_007: manually.  see the !upstart notes... 1 way is to rename stuff in /etc/init/
[16:07] <killer_> thnx ulkesh
[16:08] <dr_willis> User_007:  rename the  service.conf to be service.dontrun is one way
[16:09] <PurpleTrouble> OK, it turns out I can print with lp but not with lpr
[16:09] <User_007> thanks dr_willis
[16:09] <SS01> PurpleTrouble: in my experience Wi-Fi printing in Ubuntu is pretty hard, you may want to try USB

[16:13] <neil_> hi guys
[16:13] <neil_> how are all of you today? My first time in getting in.
[16:13] <BluesKaj> on the right is correct , must have been a lefty dev who decide the left hand for x-+
[16:14] <BluesKaj> er decided
[16:14] <dr_willis> the reason has been   discussed on the forums and blog sites
[16:15] <neil_>  I need help in getting ubuntu r
[16:15] <compdoc> r ?
[16:15] <neil_>  I need help in getting ubuntu running smoothly on a Samsung N100 netbook
[16:15] <dr_willis> neil_: r?
[16:15] <dr_willis> ;)
[16:15] <neil_> sorry typo...
[16:15] <BluesKaj> dr_willis:  well the reasoning for the "left" however justified is wrongheaded
[16:16] <dr_willis> hmm -  runs ok on my 2 netbooks
[16:16] <Cantide> controls being on the left makes sense for the global menu, or when a program is maximised..
[16:16] <SS01> neil_: what is going wrong? Ubuntu works stock on all netbooks I know of
[16:16] <neil_> well it is a bit laggy at times
[16:16] <j2bv16> Fixed. No clue why was changed, but gconf help me a lot
[16:16] <neil_> do i need to increase RAM
[16:16] <SS01> neil_: it's a netbook, it'll happen
[16:16] <neil_> ive got 1GB
[16:16] <dr_willis> just a bit? and only sometimes?
[16:17] <ollie_> just installed ubuntu, boot up, get this: http://i.imgur.com/3W4Ne.jpg Anyone got any ideas on how to fix it?
[16:17] <dr_willis> ;)
[16:17] <SS01> neil_: probably increase ram
[16:17] <neil_> ok...
[16:17] <gigix> neil_, you might need this ppa for your samsung
[16:17] <gigix> https://launchpad.net/~voria/+archive/ppa/
[16:17] <neil_> what should be the recommended RAM for netbooks running ubuntu
[16:17] <dr_willis> i doubt if you  upgrade a netbook much
[16:17] <j2bv16> gigix: nvidia problems
[16:17] <gigix> neil_, mine is running with 2 Gb
[16:17] <neil_> I am a complete newbie
[16:17] <dr_willis> my nb has 1 gb..
[16:17] <neil_> guys
[16:18] <ulkesh> neil_: it will depend on what you want to run on the device
[16:18] <ulkesh> neil_: if you're just web browsing, 1GB or 2GB is enough
[16:18] <escott> nomodeset | ollie_
[16:18] <neil_> ive got samsung n100 with 1.33Ghz with 1GB ram
[16:18] <escott> !nomodeset | ollie_
[16:18] <j2bv16> ulkesh: i have 4gb and my web browsing is slow
[16:18] <ulkesh> j2bv16: ha, then that's not a RAM issue
[16:19] <ollie_> escott: I don't get the screen before that I get on the livecd that allows me to set nomodeset
[16:19] <neil_> sometimes when i am running firefox it will just force quit and youtubeis laggy when on full screen
[16:19] <ThinkT510> neil_: thats flash for you
[16:19] <dr_willis> youtube is youtube.. ;)
[16:19] <escott> ollie_, press shift. alternately boot a livecd and directly edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[16:20] <compdoc> ollie_, if nomodeset doesnt work, I know something you can try
[16:20] <dr_willis> theres html5 you can use on youtube. or flashreplacer extemnsions
[16:20] <ulkesh> well, that's flash developers for you...flash itself isn't that bad, just gets a bad rap....though it's dying of course
[16:21] <neil_> lemme try
[16:21] <Kanalplus> Evening fellas!! Just recenty i decided to join linux comunity and installed Ubuntu... started to like it and slowly getting into it. As i changed my job also, they've been asking me to learn Linux KVM and server administration..doh. As i don't have much experienve with linux and especially not with virtual machines and servers i would be more than thankfull if someone could point me in right directions and possibly toss some links where
[16:21] <Kanalplus> to start, etc. TA
[16:21] <ollie_> i spammed the shift key after the grub screen, nothing
[16:21]  * dr_willis thinks it is flash thats bad..  but i  i play flash videos in vlc now
[16:21] <ollie_> or should i do shift on the grub screen?
[16:21] <DarkSim> I'm using 12.04 with Xubuntu-desktop, my output is picking up sounds from the computer, for example. If I talk to someone on Skype, they can hear me listening to music even if I use my Headset
[16:21] <dr_willis> ollie_:  hold shift.. dont tap it
[16:21] <ollie_> ahh, thanks
[16:22] <dr_willis> thats the reason they picked shift
[16:22] <neil_> what would be html5 oin youtube that i can use?
[16:22] <dr_willis> darksim ive seen people ask how to do that .   ;)
[16:23] <dr_willis> youtube.com/html5   seee here
[16:23] <DarkSim> dr_willis: None wants to talk with me since it's too annoying to hear all the shit I do, even if I mute my mic it leaks through
[16:24] <mneptok> DarkSim: no need for profanity
[16:24] <ThinkT510> DarkSim: no need to swear
[16:24] <sun_devil> Anyone know the command to see if I have iptables installed?
[16:24] <dr_willis> DarkSim:  theres some ekype forum  and wiki pages. i dont use it..
[16:24] <DarkSim> Oh sry
[16:24] <dr_willis> sun_devil:  its installed by default
[16:24] <neil_> how to upgrade flash using ubuntu
[16:24] <dr_willis> sudo iptables --list
[16:24] <neil_> :)
[16:24] <mneptok> DarkSim: apology unnecessary. changed behavior says it all. :)
[16:25] <dr_willis> neil_:  if you installed flash by the package manager. then it should be upgraded
[16:25] <DarkSim> I also have some problems with the updater, it says something about something being wrong and it reminds me all the time
[16:25] <sun_devil> How to see if iptables is enabled ?
[16:25] <dr_willis> sudo iptables --list      sun_devil
[16:25] <DarkSim> But does anyone have any idea what I should do to fix the audio issue?
[16:26] <ThinkT510> DarkSim: i'd fix the update issue before you takle the sound
[16:26] <sun_devil> Thanks
[16:26] <ThinkT510> DarkSim: there may even have been an update that fixes your sound issue
[16:26] <neil_> oooh OK
[16:27] <DarkSim> I think it's something about a package or something that is obsolete or something
[16:27] <neil_> well kinda manually installed it
[16:27] <neil_> that figures
[16:27] <ripps> How does do-release-upgrade determine which version of ubuntu I'm running?
[16:28] <neil_> does compiz do give you error sometimes? like internal error
[16:28] <DarkSim> ThinkT510: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1117803/
[16:28] <zykotick9> ripps: "lsb_release -a" probably
[16:29] <sun_devil> I have never been able to print off my Ubuntu to a wireless Kodak, worked with cups and nothing, its a driver issue, Kodak does not offer open-source.
[16:29] <ThinkT510> DarkSim: urgh, i don't use ppas, try removing them
[16:29] <smallfoot-> Go to about:startpage or about:home and search from there. Notice how the search still doesn't use HTTPS!
[16:29] <DarkSim> ThinkT510: How do I remove a ppa?
[16:29] <neil_> And guys do you happen to have itunes on your ubuntu?
[16:29] <ThinkT510> !ppa-purge | DarkSim
[16:30] <smallfoot-> DarkSim, you can do it from 'software-properties-gtk'
[16:30] <ThinkT510> !itunes | neil_
[16:31] <neil_> so banshee is better than rhythm box
[16:31] <DarkSim> But I think I need those ppa's for my Wacom tablet to work
[16:31] <sun_devil> Tried drivers with sourceforge and nothing works, Kodak is not the most friendly printer, Linux works good with only a few printer makers
[16:31] <DarkSim> I bought a HP printer recently
[16:31] <DarkSim> worked wonders
[16:31] <ThinkT510> DarkSim: then you'll need to get into contact with the ppa maintainer
[16:31] <DarkSim> and I don't remember where I got it...
[16:31] <DarkSim> oh well
[16:31] <rourick> looking for pinguy chat?
[16:31] <dr_willis> just the worlds biggest  maker's ......
[16:32] <ThinkT510> DarkSim: yeah, my hp printer works out the box
[16:32] <dr_willis> !alis| rourick
[16:33] <neil_> ??
[16:33] <sun_devil> HP works good and 1 or 2 or brands, I got stuck with a Kodak, so if I have to printer, have to boot from XP and then it works
[16:33] <ThinkT510> neil_: use whichever you like, i don't use either of them
[16:34] <neil_> which one woul you use @ThinkT510
[16:34] <ThinkT510> neil_: vlc and audacious are all i need
[16:34] <neil_> ok
[16:34] <Brankodo> Hi. I have an SSD with not much space on it. What should I mount on the SSD and what should I keep on my large drive? (still haven't installed anything)
[16:34] <sun_devil> I had someone tell once to just connect with cable, cause the wireless thing is a lost cause. Sourceforge has drives they offer for Kodak, but it never works
[16:34] <DarkSim> I've torn myself apart trying to get an old Canon printer to work that I ultimately got banned from this channel
[16:34] <ThinkT510> neil_: i don't use any apple products so i have no idea how well they would gel with your itunes library
[16:34] <bekks> Brankodo: How large is the SSD at all?
[16:34] <DarkSim> Trust me, buy a new one
[16:35] <devart> Hi there, I am curious whether its possible to change the lubuntu lxde to a gnome session if any one is available
[16:35] <DarkSim> Or well, don't trust me
[16:35] <dr_willis> canon  a brand to avoid. ;)
[16:35] <dr_willis> kodak went bankrupt dident they?
[16:36] <Brankodo> bekks: 128GB. 50 GB is taken up by a windows installation. So around 70GB left. I'm going to be installing a bunch of desktop environments and stuff.
[16:36] <bekks> Brankodo: Thats more than enough for an entire Ubuntu installation.
[16:36] <sun_devil> Most likely went BK, even when it was good, customer server never heard of open-source?
[16:36] <bekks> Brankodo: Use your other disks as /mnt/data or whatever, and put Ubuntu on your SSD.
[16:36] <Brankodo> bekks: And KDE, XFCE, gimp etc etc ?\
[16:36] <dr_willis> Brankodo:  70gb is big for the os. ;)
[16:37] <bekks> Brankodo: even a system with gimp, kde, xfce, etc. does not take more than 30GB.
[16:37] <dr_willis> Brankodo:  keep home on the hd. / on the ssd
[16:37] <Brankodo> Awesome.
[16:37] <Brankodo> Thank you.
[16:37] <Brankodo> See you on the other side.
[16:37] <sun_devil> I like Ubuntu, but cups has no idea what to do with a Kodak
[16:37] <dr_willis> 50gb for windows  is tiny... ;)
[16:38] <dr_willis> cups is used by lunux. and apple and bsd. not just ubuntu
[16:38] <ollie_> Okay I've managed to get in, but additional drivers isnt detecting that i need nvidia drivers
[16:39] <Cantide> what is the general consensus on SSDs at the moment?
[16:39] <dr_willis> Cantide: getting affordable   ;)
[16:39] <ollie_> and the default drivers are only giving me a resolution of 1024x768, when my monitor is 1920x1080
[16:39] <Cantide> and reliability?
[16:39] <sun_devil> Kodak printer works great Vista :(  MS, and XP
[16:40] <Cantide> i don't need much space, so the small capacity isn't a concern at all
[16:40] <neil_> so what are the things that i can make my netbook work wonders with Ubuntu?
[16:40] <dr_willis> ollie_:  install nvidia-current package and see if they work
[16:40] <Guest90927> hey
[16:40] <Cantide> and cost isn't too much of an issue considering i want to buy just one :p
[16:40] <Cantide> so it all comes down to reliability for me >_<
[16:41] <dr_willis> hard drives are the weakest link... keep backups....
[16:41] <dr_willis> hasent changed in like... ever   ;)
[16:42] <dr_willis> long warrenties are good also.
[16:42] <sun_devil> Anyone know of a driver that works with Kodak?
[16:42] <superuser> how do i have an application run at login, such as "gnome-panel"
[16:42] <Guest90927> hj
[16:43] <bekks> sun_devil: Did you check www.openprinting.org yet?
[16:43] <dr_willis> sun_devil:  if one exists.. cups.org or linuxprinting.org or above
[16:43] <bekks> sun_devil: Which printer very exactly do you have?
[16:43] <dr_willis> IF one  exists
[16:44] <superuser> im useing user defined session btw
[16:45] <sun_devil> Kodak ESP 7 all-in-one
[16:45] <dr_willis> depends in your wm or desktoo superuser
[16:45] <superuser> i havent changed anything from stock so it all should be stock
[16:45] <bekks> sun_devil: http://www.openprinting.org/printer/Kodak/Kodak-ESP_7
[16:45] <pkkm> Is it possible to change the keys that pull down menus when pressed together with Alt (like Alt+f to pull down the “File” menu)?
[16:45] <elijah> Hey guys, what is the likelihood 12.04 will get Linux 3.5?
[16:46] <dr_willis> user defined session runs what you tell it to
[16:46] <mneptok> elijah: zero.
[16:46] <elijah> And/or will 12.10 get Linux 3.5?
[16:46] <elijah> mneptok: Thanks
[16:46] <mneptok> elijah: Ubuntu does not bump kernel revisions within a release.
[16:46] <superuser> yeah well how do i define my user defined session
[16:46] <ThinkT510> elijah: 12.10 questions in #ubuntu+1
[16:46] <DarkSim> Can't I force a update even if just a few ppa's isn't working?
[16:46] <mneptok> DarkSim: comment out the PPAs
[16:47] <devart> Question: if im running a AMD Athlong 64 3800+ would that mean i am capable of the 64bit Ubuntu OS?
[16:47] <dr_willis>   theres a autorun dir in .config or. local also
[16:47] <Srinivas> hi friends
[16:47] <Srinivas> I need help on installing Unity-revamped
[16:47] <bekks> Srinivas: Whats that, "ubuntu-revamped"?
[16:47] <Srinivas> yes
[16:47] <superuser> thanks, dr_willis is that in my home folder?
[16:47] <sun_devil> I will give it a try
[16:47] <elijah> Thanks ThinkT510, I asked their.
[16:47] <bekks> Srinivas: What is it?
[16:47] <elijah> *there
[16:47] <Srinivas> its a forked version of Unity
[16:48] <dr_willis> superuser: yes
[16:48] <bekks> Srinivas: Then it isnt supported in here, I guess.
[16:48] <DarkSim> ferocious, it didn't work
[16:48] <bazhang> Srinivas, is that a PPA? it's not supported here if so
[16:48] <Srinivas> https://launchpad.net/~ikarosdev/+archive/unity-revamped
[16:48] <Cantide> dr_willis, good point :P I was wondering how SSDs compared to conventional magnetic drives
[16:48] <Cantide> but yeah, i plan on travelling quite a bit soon, so an SSD may suit me well
[16:48] <Srinivas> I don't understand
[16:48] <dr_willis> Cantide:  i dont have any.. yet
[16:48] <bazhang> Srinivas, contact the PPA maintainer, it's not supported here
[16:49] <bazhang> !ppa | Srinivas
[16:49] <Cantide> i plan on getting one in the next few months
[16:49] <killer> i have all .deb files of kde in a folder by using aptoncd .....how do i now install kde without spending too much time resolving dependencies
[16:49] <Cantide> as my current drive is about 5 years old
[16:49] <red-lichtie> I'm trying to map the play/pause key of my bluetooth headset to vlc. The headset works fine with rhythmbox but when I press the button while in vlc I get a stop sign superimposed on the screen. There has to be an application event map of some sort for gnome or xserver somewhere.
[16:49] <DarkSim> Does anyone have anything to say about Compiz, I'm thinking of getting it
[16:49] <bazhang> killer, by following through and using aptoncd as a software repository to install packages from
[16:49] <red-lichtie> I've tried searching but I can't find the right poinrt
[16:49] <Srinivas> Can I atleast know how to downgrade apps on UBuntu
[16:49] <QubitSmuggler> SSDs will give you a speed improvement at around an order of magnitude
[16:50] <bazhang> Srinivas, purge the PPA?
[16:50] <killer> bazhang how do i use it as a repo
[16:50] <WarriorSl> people, my mic only works great with 120% volume, i'm using ubuntu 12.04, how do i persist the 120% configuration?
[16:50] <dr_willis> DarkSim:  its installed by default
[16:50] <DarkSim> It is?
[16:50] <star314> I like to change the permissions of a user by going to Administration -> Users & Groups. But when I click on "Advanced Settings" nothing happens. I guess a popup should appear asking for the password to apply sudo, right?
[16:50] <inbitado34> i'm trying to conecto two ubuntu 12.04 machines 64 bits, from one of them i can see the other, but from the other one can't see this one
[16:50] <QubitSmuggler> so a one minute boot can be closer to 6 second
[16:50] <ThinkT510> DarkSim: unity uses compiz by default
[16:51] <DarkSim> But I can't do these cube shaped 3d desktop things and such?
[16:51] <Cantide> compiz-fusion?
[16:51] <Srinivas> not exactly purge, I intend to use a orked version of unity over the orignal one. The problem I'm facing is that the forked version is 5.12.0x and the orignal one is 5.0.15x
[16:51] <dr_willis> inbitado34: do ping tests and try ssh
[16:51] <Srinivas> *forked
[16:51] <Cantide> DarkSim, afaik that's not possible with unity (afaik!)
[16:51] <inbitado34> dr_willis, how to i do the ping tests ?
[16:52] <dr_willis> inbitado34: ping command in a terminal
[16:52] <Cantide> QubitSmuggler, yeah, that's why i'm tempted.
[16:52] <Srinivas> not exactly purge, I intend to use a orked version of unity over the orignal one. The problem I'm facing is that the forked version is 5.12.0x and the orignal one is 5.0.15x
[16:52] <Srinivas> *forked
[16:52] <ThinkT510> DarkSim: some compiz plugins will break unity
[16:52] <dr_willis> DarkSim:  forget the lame cube ;)
[16:52] <superuser>  dr_willis  i found  .local   and i found  .config   but i cant seem to find the script im looking for
[16:53] <bazhang> Srinivas, its not supported here. do what you wish. contact the PPA maintainer for help not here
[16:53] <QubitSmuggler> cantide: simce i don't have to pay for it, you should do it
[16:53] <DarkSim> Well I didn't want that specifically, but some of the other things must be nice
[16:53] <Srinivas> Asshole
[16:53] <dr_willis> superuser: its a directory
[16:53] <bazhang> Srinivas, dont use that language here
[16:53] <DarkSim> and I'm using Xubuntu-desktop so it's xfce
[16:53] <superuser> like windows start up dir
[16:53] <Cantide> QubitSmuggler, lol
[16:53] <dr_willis> yes
[16:54] <superuser>  dr_willis  whats it called?
[16:54] <inbitado34> dr_willis, i go ping (my host) i works, but when ping the other machine, doesn't know the host
[16:54] <ThinkT510> DarkSim: i've always found compiz rather buggy with xfce, but i hope it works well for you
[16:54] <DarkSim> Well if it is a hassle I'd just better skip it
[16:54] <dr_willis> autosomthing.... rather  obvious when you see it
[16:54] <DarkSim> I hate hassles, especially since I have really poor experience with Linux
[16:54] <superuser>  dr_willis  ill look again then
[16:55] <dr_willis> inbitado34: use its ip number not name
[16:55] <inbitado34> dr_willis, it appears my local host <IP_ADDRESS>
[16:55] <DarkSim> I've played games with more active hours than I've used Linux
[16:55] <inbitado34> dr_willis should i change the localhost number o the other machine ?
[16:55] <dr_willis> !manual | DarkSim
[16:56] <superuser>  dr_willis  dont see it, am i missing something?
[16:56] <DarkSim> Oh wow, these things exist
[16:56] <dr_willis> inbitado34:  localhost is lical machine.. use the  right ip number
[16:56] <DarkSim> Even if Linux have a lot of hiccups everywhere, you are pretty aware of them as a community
[16:56] <dr_willis> !autorun
[16:56] <inbitado34> rd_willis where do i get the ip number?
[16:56] <dr_willis> !autostart
[16:57] <zykotick9> inbitado34: "ifconfig" in a terminal
[16:57] <superuser> there we go lol
[16:57] <DarkSim> My biggest issue for now is to fix the audio problem
[16:57] <DarkSim> No idea what to do
[16:57] <dr_willis> that factoid is a little outdated
[16:58] <battleumca>  plz help me i have xubuntu 12.04 does not work online through a router to direct all ok, but the router does not see (
[16:58] <ThinkT510> DarkSim: i'm not sure what skype uses but since it is not open source i think skype might be the source of your problem (which makes it rather difficult to fix)
[16:58] <superuser>  dr_willis  hey thanks i think i got it
[16:58] <DarkSim> It's not just skype ThinkT510, I checked sound settings
[16:58] <DarkSim> and the output is going haywire all the time
[16:59] <battleumca>  plz help me i have xubuntu 12.04 does not work online through a router to direct all ok, but the router does not see (
[16:59] <DarkSim> Volume control, ThinkT510. Output, ALSA plug-in [plug-in-container]
[17:00] <ThinkT510> DarkSim: ...
[17:00] <sun_devil> Completed the package installer for printer, and it could not print a test page?
[17:00] <DarkSim> That is output and I have no input
[17:00] <inktvis75> sun_devil, hp printer ?
[17:01] <SkippersBoss> Darksim, pulse will be the troublemaker here
[17:01] <SkippersBoss> remove it and skype should work ok
[17:01] <DarkSim> How do I remove pulse, software centre?
[17:01] <inbitado34> dr_willis i did it from both machines, ping <IP_ADDRESS>  and 2.2  and yes i have respones like 64bytes from <IP_ADDRESS> ...
[17:02] <dr_willis> every time i see someone try to remove pulse audio.. they break things badly.
[17:02] <inktvis75> skype and pulseaudio can work together without a problem
[17:02] <zykotick9> DarkSim: removing pulse is almost always a BAD idea
[17:03] <DarkSim> So how do I fix the audio issue then?
[17:03] <inktvis75> but you'll need pavucontrol
[17:03] <SkippersBoss> dr_willis, break ??
[17:03] <hwkiller-netbook> What's the audio issue?
[17:03] <dr_willis> inbitado34:  your router has an different ip range?
[17:03] <inktvis75> search for pulseaudio volume control in the software center
[17:03] <DarkSim> People can hear what I do on the computer through my mic
[17:03] <sun_devil> Kodak
[17:03] <dr_willis> SkippersBoss:  more like exploded
[17:03] <SkippersBoss> Problem with pulse is it works on top of alsa
[17:03] <caixa> is there an equalizer?
[17:03] <sun_devil> Kodak ESP 7
[17:04] <inbitado34> i have a crossover cable, and dsl conection in internet, what i want is to share folders betwen the two machines
[17:04] <inktvis75> and than in skype you can select pulse as sound system
[17:04] <dr_willis> thats the idea behind pulse....
[17:04] <hwkiller-netbook> DarkSim, yeha, you'll need pavucontrol and mute the audio sink that is your mic
[17:04] <hwkiller-netbook> audio source*
[17:04] <inbitado34> dr_willis i have a crossover cable, and dsl conection in internet, what i want is to share folders betwen the two machines, most be the same ip?
[17:04] <dr_willis> inbitado34:  id say go get a low end router.
[17:04] <inbitado34> dr_willis, for both machines
[17:04] <DarkSim> The thing is that it seems that pulse is set on all things "speakers, mic, headset"
[17:05] <SkippersBoss> LIsten i have used skype quite often and always have had mic trouble. apu-get remove pulse and suddelnly skype works like a dream
[17:05] <battleumca>  plz help me i have xubuntu 12.04 does not work online through a router to direct all ok, but the router does not see (
[17:05] <sun_devil> Installed C2esp .deb file
[17:05] <inktvis75> with that volume control thing you can fix the microphone -> selecting the right input
[17:05] <gear4> How could I install liblua.so ?
[17:05] <dr_willis> ips are not the same. ypu are doing a fancy  network. with no network  skills.
[17:05] <inbitado34> dr_willis, you mean should i buy a low end router ?
[17:05] <SkippersBoss> DarkSim, it s what you want to do with you machine
[17:06] <SkippersBoss> you can unse the autospawn
[17:06] <DarkSim> inktvis75: Where? in Skype?
[17:06] <dr_willis> inbitado34:  id say go get a low end router.
[17:06] <dr_willis> yes
[17:06] <SkippersBoss> method which you can probably script
[17:06] <inktvis75> DarkSim, first you have to install pavucontrol
[17:07] <inbitado34> dr_willis, sorry i dont't understand that id  you mean i would say ?
[17:07] <inktvis75> (apt-get install pavucontrol)
[17:07] <DarkSim> inktvis75: when I search pavucontrol I just find pulse volume control
[17:07] <inktvis75> DarkSim, that's the right one
[17:07] <DarkSim> inktvis75: I already have that
[17:07] <gear4> How could I install liblua.so ?
[17:07] <inktvis75> and then in skype, sound devices -> select pulseaudio server everywhere
[17:07] <inktvis75> then start pavucontrol
[17:07] <inktvis75> input devices
[17:08] <inktvis75> select the correct port
[17:08] <dr_willis> inbitado34: a router would have your setup going in perhaps 5 min.
[17:08] <dr_willis> or you spend time learning some networkng basi cs
[17:08] <inbitado34> dr_willis, ok tomorow monday i'll get a router - low end -
[17:09] <killer_> how do i add local folder as a repository so i can install packages

[17:22] <sun_devil> padhu, where is the PPD file?
[17:22] <DarkSim> oh wait

[17:49] <DaDaDOSPrompt> I had a partition go bad, and when I remade it its UUID had changed, but I wasn't sure if the change came about via gparted or what
[17:50] <MReaper-17> I need help
[17:50] <JoseeAntonioR> !ask | MReaper-17
[17:52] <Lunar_Lander> is it dangerous that gvfsd-http shows a CLOSE_WAIT connection to Facebook in netstat?
[17:53] <simplew> I have runned "unsquashfs -f -d /mnt/lm/ filesystem.squashfs"   but it did not installed grub files in /boot/grub and also did not installed vmlinux and initrd files to be able to boot ubuntu, anyone can tell me why ??
[17:55] <vicium\a> dr_willis : you here? :D
[17:56] <vicium\a> Well I guess anyone can answer this.. So just bought a new laptop (win pre-installed...) I intended to run ubuntu fully on it since but there's no real harm in 'dual-booting' right?
[17:56] <vicium\a> Aslong as i have the HDD space?
[17:57] <sorrymyeng1> hello, im trying install some pkg with aptitude, select pkg, press +, it shows red bar below with suggests, press 'e' - select first, see some unresolved, select first, in lower half of screen there are some variants: cancel installation, downgrade, etc, select what i need, press 'a' - 'apply solution', line becomes green, repeat it for all unresolved packages. now. hot to TOTALLY apply it?! 'g','!' doesnot work
[17:57] <bazhang> sorrymyeng1, what version of ubuntu
[17:58] <vicium\a> Just install with the latest ubuntu-desktop.iso & make sure I allocate lets say 200 gb or so to ubuntu? Can the installer do that? Or should I pre-format/make the partition. Also 2) Does the ubuntu installer include a multi-booter so i get the win7/ubuntu prompt on boot?
[17:59] <sorrymyeng1> bazhang: 12.04
[17:59] <Lunar_Lander> OK can anyone please consider my question?
[18:00] <bazhang> sorrymyeng1, you installed aptitude then?
[18:00] <subz3r0> vicium\a, Yes Ubuntu is able to parition your hdd. i would suggest install win7 first, then install ubuntu.
[18:00] <superuser> why is it when i go to make my panel transparent the items in it are not
[18:00] <seedofc> In recovery mode, how do I tell dpkg to use an installation CD as the source for packages instead of downloading packages via the internet
[18:00] <sorrymyeng1> bazhang: omg r u kidding? how could I work in it without installing? ><
[18:01] <bazhang> sorrymyeng1, using apt-get. aptitude is not installed by default
[18:01] <vicium\a> subz3r0: Yeah it was already pre-installed with some random software, can I usb-stick install it? it doesnt make a diference?
[18:02] <trism> superuser: 12.04 and gnome classic? if so, bug 966697 (it is a gtk bug, slightly better in 12.10 since colored panels work, but transparent still don't)
[18:02] <bazhang> seedofc, the alternate cd can serve as that
[18:02] <subz3r0> vicium\a, ofc you can install win7 or ubuntu from usb-sticks.
[18:02] <superuser> trism so do i downgrade then? it worked fine till i upgraded..
[18:02] <sorrymyeng1> bazhang: apt-get does not provide all the amenities.
[18:02] <vicium\a> Okay, just making sure no windows data gets purged when i put in my stick and install! :D
[18:03] <bazhang> sorrymyeng1, sure it does. perhaps you mean debian's apt-get
[18:03] <seedofc> bazhang: not sure I understand your response -- I'm trying to figure out how to get dpkg to point to a CD instead of downloading packages from the internet.  When the option is chosen from recovery mode, it automatically attempts to download packages from the internet, but there is no internet connection, and therefore it fails.  I need it to point to the installation CD to get its packages.
[18:04] <trism> superuser: I would just live with it (maybe find a panel theme you like instead) until this is fixed (I suppose you could use 11.10 if it is really important to you)
[18:04] <bazhang> sorrymyeng1, please pastebin your sources.list to paste.ubuntu.com
[18:04] <bazhang> seedofc, add it to to the software sources
[18:04] <sorrymyeng1> bazhang: what sources?o_O
[18:04] <bazhang> sorrymyeng1, /etc/apt/sources.list to paste.ubuntu.com
[18:04] <superuser> trism i cant live with it, it looks awful
[18:05] <seedofc> bazhang: ok, thanks
[18:05] <subz3r0> seedofc, edit /etc/apt/sources.list
[18:05] <bazhang> seedofc, either via package manager synaptic : software sources, or via the command line
[18:05] <seedofc> can I edit soruces.list in recovery mode?
[18:06] <seedofc> seems like I'm limited in what I can do
[18:06] <bazhang> seedofc, sure you can
[18:06] <sorrymyeng1> bazhang: what r u tolk about? why u need it? and version of ubuntu. my question is just about aptitude usage
[18:06] <subz3r0> vicium\a, I strongly recommend, that you make "BACKUPS"
[18:06] <seedofc> bazhang: cool, thanks -- I'll give it a shot
[18:06] <bazhang> sorrymyeng1, please provide the pastebin
[18:06] <ThinkT510> !aptitude
[18:07] <sorrymyeng1> bazhang: also, yes, im working under debian 6.0.
[18:08] <bazhang> sorrymyeng1, so dont ask for support here.
[18:08] <bazhang> sorrymyeng1, #debian for debian support NOT here
[18:08] <sorrymyeng1> bazhang: it is the same for my question %)
[18:08] <vicium\a> subz3r0: Roger that.. :) Is the windows installer worse then usb stick? :p
[18:08] <bazhang> sorrymyeng1, no it's not. stop asking.
[18:08] <subz3r0> vicium\a, no, but that bootloader of windows does not like it when its beein overwritten
[18:09] <ThinkT510> vicium\a: if you can avoid wubi
[18:09] <vicium\a> ok, i only found a 1gb stick dunno where the rest is
[18:09] <vicium\a> maybe that cuts it

[18:14] <Pecker> is there a way to view the CLIENT terminal's system information when its booted via LTSP
[18:25] <ito> im trying to do a command line only install and buid it up for my laptop. is there anyway to install ubuntu without the gui?
[18:25] <bazhang> !minimal | ito
[18:25] <bazhang> ito or the alternate cd
[18:26] <bazhang> !alternate | ito
[18:26] <zykotick9> ito: use mini for a minimal environment to build on... alt gives you full ubuntu with a text installer
[18:27] <ito> did that. i installed it already. im just having trouble with configuring stuff like laptop-mode-tools and other little things and i there could be a way that ubuntu would do all of this stuff automatically
[18:28] <ito> so folloup question: how do i get laptop-mode-tools running properly for suspend hibernate. works on normal install
[18:29] <ito> i installed the command line only install, installed x and awesome window manager and have it all working just fine
[18:29] <zykotick9> ito: does "sudo pm-hibernate" work?
[18:29] <Poindexter_> Ito do you have limited disk space?
[18:29] <ito> will try in sec hold on
[18:29] <zykotick9> ito: awesomewm FTW
[18:30] <ito> sudo pm-hibernate command not found
[18:30] <ito> i installed laptop-mode tools
[18:31] <grety> moved to 12.04 from 10.04, no problems that I've seen. But, I want to know if its safe to reclaim a partition that has an old install of windows that's frankly not been opened in ages.
[18:31] <dr_willis> reclaim meaning?
[18:31] <bazhang> grety, sure. use gparted live cd to do it
[18:31] <zykotick9> ito: pm-utils perhaps?
[18:32] <grety> I want to enlarge the partition that 12.04 is installed on
[18:32] <ito> zykotick9: not found
[18:32] <bazhang> grety, or the ubuntu live cd
[18:32] <zykotick9> ito: sorry.  don't know the ubuntu specifics...
[18:32] <dr_willis> deleteing thw windows install should be fine
[18:33] <Fyodorovna> grety, if you move the front of the ubuntu partition and it has the grub control you may need to reload grub to the mbr to boot.
[18:34] <dr_willis> how big is the hd  	? how is it partioned now
[18:34] <grety> It's been a while since I've dug into the hd, but I know it's 100GB in size
[18:35] <kale> grety: fdisk -l
[18:35] <grety> 12.04 has almost half of the space, but I have zero need for the old Win install
[18:36] <kale> grety: i would recommend a backup. clean the disk, make one large partition and put lvm into it. the you can dynamically resize your partitions. after this, restore the backup.
[18:38] <simplew> i hve run "update-initramfs -u" but i continue not having no /boot/vmlinuz file to be able to boot ubuntu, any help?
[18:39] <superuser> is there a fix for  bug 966697?

[18:41] <Nikyo> Hi guys, this issue is got me very confused. Can not get Adobe flash plugin 11.2 r202 to work in Firefox 14.0.1 Ubuntu 12.04. Installed ubuntu-restricted-extras. It looks like it tries to work. I even went the extreme in wiping the hard drive and starting from scratch. Still not working. :/
[18:41] <superuser> yeah i figured that out, i guess theres not one yet
[18:42] <Shirakawasuna> the environment variable https_proxy is set for me and I don't know why.
[18:42] <dr_willis> ubuntu-restricted-extras pulls in flash?
[18:42] <Shirakawasuna> Does anyone know how to permanently unset it / figure out why it's set?
[18:42] <saustin> For some reason after opening youtube video in chrome, my sound playback in all programs has started to sound like SETI, anyone have any idea why and hwo to fix?
[18:43] <superuser> is it possible to do a chmod "777" on the root fs
 yep
[18:44] <dr_willis> superuser:  if you want to break things... yes
[18:44] <Fyodorovna> Nikyo, have you tried the FF addon flashaid, strange that it does not work though in general.
 On one of my computers, no issue with flash, this computer it's not working..
[18:44] <saustin> I did a pulseaudio --kill then a pulseaudio --start and now sound is gone completely?
[18:44] <superuser> i dont intend to break things i just need to install from source and dont want to have to log in to root
[18:45] <dr_willis> Nikyo:  i use html5 on youtube. or flash replacer extensions to play flash in vlc these days..
[18:45] <ThinkT510> superuser: you shouldn't need to log into root anyway
[18:45] <dr_willis> superuser:  install to your usere home dir then
 I have not, I did try Gnuj flash.. I think that is what it is called.. but a lot of sites want the most "current flash player".. Pandora is one of them
[18:45] <superuser> for to install from source with out sudo comd
[18:46] <superuser> i was un aware i could do that
 Thanks Dr...  I'll give that a spin as well..
[18:47] <caixa> bazhang, sry
[18:48] <Fyodorovna> Nikyo, flashaid will install the release or the beta as of whats available as of now.
[18:49] <dr_willis> and flash aid sometimes actually works.. ;)
[18:49] <ActionParsnip> Nikyo: are you having issues with flash?
 Thank You, I will give that a shot first. I hope you and the Dr. has a good day / night, I'm not new to Linux.. but I am certaining not perfect.. that's for sure.. LOL .. Thanks again. :-)
[18:49] <Nikyo> Out
[18:50] <escott> superuser, installing from source you should be (a) installing with checkinstall (b) ./configure --prefix=/usr/local. If you want / to have 777 permissions I would recommend you install windows 95
[18:50] <saustin> I'm googling for, and cannot find, options to restart sound in 12.04
[18:53] <caixa> why are equalizer so bad in linux?
[18:53] <Soothsayer> I want to replace my existing PHP with one from another package like http://packages.dotdeb.org/dists/squeeze/  (I need a more recent version of PHP due to some bugs and severe issues with the one that is in the debian packages). Is it possible to just replace the php and nothing else?
[18:54] <bazhang> caixa, thats not a support question
[18:55] <bazhang> Soothsayer, using debian repos with ubuntu? NO
[18:55] <caixa> bazhang, how can i make the equalizer changes not sound awful?
[18:55] <superuser> my quadcore pc just cant handle win95 its too much escott
[18:56] <Soothsayer> bazhang: ignore the debian source.. but say it was an ubuntu source and i added it to my sources.list, then what would be my next step?
[18:56] <Soothsayer> bazhang: and the repo added has php (the version i need) and some other packages (like mysql, etc which i don't need)
[18:56] <bazhang> Soothsayer, you want a more recent version of PHP? is that the end goal?
[18:57] <Soothsayer> bazhang: yes
[18:58] <bazhang> Soothsayer, what version did you need, what version of ubuntu are you on currently, please
[18:58] <simplew> can anyone tell me if theres a vmlinuz file in   /boot   ?
[18:59] <bazhang> simplew, what are you trying to do exactly
[18:59] <pranavk> i am trying to copy the shares from a shared folder on the network using 'net rpc share migrate shares movies -S <IP_ADDRESS>' . but it results in doing nothing ...what to do ?
[18:59] <ActionParsnip> caixa: which have you tried?
[18:59] <simplew> i have installed ubuntu using unsqachfs  but i have no /boot/vmlinuz to allow to boot ubuntu
[18:59] <Soothsayer> bazhang: on 11.10, need php 5.3.10 at least
[19:00] <ActionParsnip> simplew: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1118053/
[19:00] <DJones> simplew: Yes, I have wmlinuz-3.2.0-25-generic etc
[19:00] <Soothsayer> or php 5.3.8+
[19:00] <simplew> bazhang: already runned update-initramfs -u
[19:00] <bazhang> simplew, why do that? is this a netbook with a 4G hdd or something?
[19:00] <caixa> ActionParsnip, the pulseaudio one, and a few eq's that were built in the audio app
[19:00] <ActionParsnip> Soothsayer: any PPAs?
[19:00] <simplew> bazhang: why you ask why i do this? thats up to me
[19:00] <Soothsayer> ActionParsnip: that I'm already using? (not for php, but for others, I'm sure i have)
[19:00] <bazhang> simplew, to help you sort the issue.
[19:01] <simplew> bazhang: i need to do this to have ubuntu in an encrypted LVM with a recent cypher
[19:01] <simplew> bazhang: i have dont this to have linuxmint and all went fine
[19:01] <simplew> bazhang: i have done this to have linuxmint and all went fine
[19:04] <Soothsayer> Generally if i add an external repo source, does it mean it will upgrade my packages which are common to the remote source with the latest version from there?
[19:04] <bazhang> Soothsayer, for a PPA?
[19:04] <ActionParsnip> Soothsayer: if the ppa has a newer version it will be installed
[19:04] <ActionParsnip> Soothsayer: its all about version numbers :)
[19:05]  * studio studio
[19:05] <dr_willis> i wonder how a ppa differs from a repository..
[19:05] <dr_willis> just a spcific repository isent it?
[19:05] <Soothsayer> ActionParsnip: so I can't just fetch one package from an external PPA which has multiple packages under it?
[19:06] <zykotick9> Soothsayer: if anything in that PPA is a higher version then in default repo, those other packages will be updated to the ppa version(s)
[19:06] <dr_willis> most ppa's tend to be very specific.
[19:06] <ActionParsnip> Soothsayer: if you add the PPA then tell apt-get to install the package, then remove the ppa
[19:07] <Soothsayer> zykotick9: bazhang ActionParsnip and will I have to re-install all my PHP extensions, pecl extensions all over again?
[19:07] <ActionParsnip> Soothsayer: if you use the install option on apt-get it will only install that package
[19:08] <Soothsayer> ActionParsnip: I see. I actually want to upgrade one of my packages to the latest version from the PPA and then remove that PPA.
[19:08] <fnoyanisi> hi, my xfstt keeps craching at X startup... anybody having the same issue? or any suggestions?
[19:08] <shamhack3> hi!.. what is PPA?
[19:08] <ActionParsnip> !ppa
[19:08] <fnoyanisi> i am ubuntu using 12.04
[19:08] <dr_willis> !ppa
[19:08] <zykotick9> Soothsayer: without pinning, the 1st "apt-get upgrade" will grab any/all of the ppa version stuff (if it's higher versioned)
[19:08] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip: ^
[19:10] <Soothsayer> so I should do an aptitude update php5  after adding the remote PPA and then remove it? have I got that right?
[19:10] <Soothsayer> aptitude upgrade php5*
[19:11] <dr_willis> i think apt-get is perfered these days
[19:11] <zykotick9> Soothsayer: don't use aptitude with 12.04
[19:12] <dr_willis> can you upgrade a speccific package? ive never tried
[19:12] <caixa> sudo apt-get me a distro
[19:12] <bazhang> !ot | caixa
[19:13] <tux__> hi
[19:14] <Soothsayer> dr_willis:  that's my question.. can I upgrade a specific package only?
[19:14] <Soothsayer> apt-get upgrade php5
[19:14] <dr_willis> try it and see
[19:15] <fnoyanisi> hi, my xfstt keeps craching at X startup... anybody having the same issue? or any suggestions?
[19:15] <fnoyanisi> i am ubuntu using 12.04
[19:15] <livingdaylight> there are kubuntu, xubuntu, and lubuntu versions of the ubuntu-restricted package. Are they not all the same?
[19:15] <dr_willis> i dont recall upgrade taking an argument like that
[19:15] <gnu_lorien> I'm having trouble with ssl certs. I thought I'd installed some certs to the system properly, but things are acting strange. `openssl s_client -connect <myserver>` doesn't work but `openssl s_client -CApath /etc/ssl/certs/ -connect <myserver>` does. I thought /etc/ssl/certs was the system wide configuration directory?
[19:16] <dr_willis> livingdaylight:  they are like 80% the same i think
[19:16] <dr_willis> the default players for the desktops may need different codec packages
[19:16] <dr_willis> fonts and others sould be the same
[19:17] <livingdaylight> dr_willis, I'm on Bodhilinux which uses ubuntu so, just wondering what package to choose
[19:17] <dr_willis> gnome = use ubuntu

[19:27] <SS01> just a quick question i've had for a while: are /dev/dvd and /dev/cdrom the same thing?
[19:27] <zykotick9> sinfuzi0n: dmesg, lspci, lsusb, "sudo fdisk -l" - depends on device ;)
[19:27] <bekks> SS01: unless having two physically devices, they are the same.
[19:27] <dr_willis> SS01:  they are links to the /dev/sr# device
[19:28] <msdaisy> bekks, did you install it from the oracle website?
[19:28] <bekks> msdaisy: Yes.

[19:32] <dr_willis> reinstallyin unity is extreme...'
[19:32] <SS01> hmm..
[19:32] <dr_willis> make a new user - see if it works for them
[19:32] <meldron> SS01: already tried, ubuntu-desktop and unity
[19:32] <SS01> oh
[19:32] <dr_willis> reinstalling will NOT cure user setting problems
[19:33] <meldron> dr_willis: good idea, i will try
[19:33] <dr_willis> seems over half the time its some user setting in their home thet gets messed up.
[19:33] <simplew> how can i reinstall /boot/vmlinuz ?
[19:34] <ThinkT510> simplew: what have you been doing?
[19:35] <meldron> dr_willis: new user, same problem
[19:36] <dr_willis> look at the x logs in that users home. what is your video card also meldron ?
[19:36] <ThinkT510> meldron: tap alt, type in r and press enter
[19:37] <meldron> ThinkT510: hm what does this command do?
[19:37] <simplew> how can i reinstall /boot/vmlinuz ?
[19:37] <dr_willis> r=restart unity
[19:37] <meldron> already tried unity --restart

[19:38] <MrPockets> How hard would it be to chaneg the "Function" key on this laptop running 11.04 to be "CTRL" instead?
[19:38] <dr_willis> simplew:  what did you do to it? its part of your kernel package
[19:38] <meldron> dr_willis: where are the users x log stored?
[19:38] <simplew> dr_willis: what package
[19:39] <dr_willis> meldron:  in their home dir. or /var/logs
[19:39] <dr_willis> simplew:  depends on what kernel you want

[19:40] <dr_willis> meldron:  anything mentioning an error.
[19:40] <simplew> dr_willis: its this one linux-headers-3.5.0-6-generic ?
[19:41] <dr_willis> headers are not the kernel
