[18:11] <witeds_> ok im trying to make a simple launcher script that can take a simple java program and put its configureation files ont the computer for the time i run it so
[18:11] <linuxuser55> libxxf86dga1 on jo uusin versio. <-- means that i got already the latest version of it
[18:11] <witeds_> that the program can be portable and i dont have to manualy copy the configs back onto the usb
[18:11] <alex88> hi guys, /q
[18:11] <alex88> sry :)
[18:11] <linuxuser55> so what i should do because it is already installed and i still cant just start the game
[18:12] <ActionParsnip> linuxuser55: ok, run:  sudo find / -iname "libXxf86dga*"    what is output? Use a pastebin to hold the outpur
[18:12] <witeds_> in windows it was done by set appdata=%cd%\
[18:12] <linuxuser55> okey wait
[18:12] <jrib> witeds_: this is a programming question
[18:12] <StayInSkool> grrr. the mouse is now moving on its own entirely and the keyboard skips even more keys
[18:12] <StayInSkool> wtfff
[18:12] <linuxuser55> http://paste.ubuntu.com/676702/
[18:13] <StayInSkool> things are ok if I'm using an external keyboard and/or mouse but what's the point of a laptop then :D
[18:13] <witeds_> yea it is
[18:13] <linuxuser55> so thats the output
[18:13] <linuxuser55> what next?
[18:13] <StayInSkool> although this thing is large enough that if I lay a keyboard on top of it it looks like a ghetto iMac
[18:14] <ActionParsnip> linuxuser55: what command are you trying to run exactly? The file is there...
[18:14] <linuxuser55> does version of my ubuntu mean anything? i use 10.04.03
[18:14] <ActionParsnip> linuxuser55: you are running lucid
[18:14] <linuxuser55> yes
[18:14] <linuxuser55> '/home/lol/Smokin'\'' Guns/smokinguns.x86' <-- thats the command what i try to run
[18:14] <linuxuser55> then i get the error
[18:14] <ActionParsnip> linuxuser55: ok and what is the output of:  uname -a
[18:15] <linuxuser55> Linux lol-laptop 2.6.32-33-generic #70-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jul 7 21:13:52 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[18:15] <linuxuser55> thats output of uname -a
[18:15] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip, good guess, amd64
[18:15] <Guest79442> sssss
[18:15] <ActionParsnip> linuxuser55: thought so, you are running a 64bit OS but are trying to run a 32bit app
[18:15] <linuxuser55> yes
[18:15] <ActionParsnip> zykotick9: boom
[18:15] <linuxuser55> i got 64 bit
[18:16] <linuxuser55> and i think there is no 64 bit version of this game
[18:16] <ActionParsnip> linuxuser55: so you need to grab the 32bit deb of the lib, extract it and put the libXxf86dga.so.1 32bit file in /usr/lib32
[18:16] <linuxuser55> how i can do it :D
[18:16] <Guest79442> 你们是那个国家的
[18:16] <zykotick9> linuxuser55, smokinguns.x86 is 32bit
[18:16] <ActionParsnip> linuxuser55: this sortof thing is why 32bit is recommended
[18:16] <ActionParsnip> linuxuser55: I already told you!
[18:16] <linuxuser55> yea but this zip doesnt include the x86_64 file
[18:16] <ActionParsnip> linuxuser55: use packages.ubuntu.com
[18:17] <ActionParsnip> nice gratitude too :(
[18:17] <ActionParsnip> oh well
[18:17] <Osmodivs> Hello.
[18:18] <dylan13> so im going to have to buy a windows 7 install disk aren't i?
[18:18] <Hasham> hi...is 11.10going to use unity again..??
[18:18] <ActionParsnip> dylan13: you can install grub from the livecD
[18:18] <zykotick9> Hasham, of course
[18:19] <Osmodivs> Did Ubuntu change something in the GRUB? Why doi have this ugly DEBIAN theme in here when I did NOT even set it up for such thing...¿¿??
[18:19] <SIFTU> dylan13: no you probably just blew away the bootloader
[18:19] <Osmodivs> http://www.pasteall.org/pic/17040
[18:19] <Hasham> hi...is 11.10going to use unity again..??
[18:19] <zykotick9> Hasham, of course - from now on
[18:20] <ActionParsnip> Osmodivs: sure you didn't install debian?
[18:20] <zykotick9> Osmodivs, did you install from mini?
[18:20] <ActionParsnip> Hasham: yes, and replace Ubuntu Classic with Unity@d
[18:20] <unguest> I can't seem to set up my Kinect under Ubuntu
[18:20] <ActionParsnip> 2D*
[18:20] <unguest> and that's crucial
[18:20] <dylan13> i believe i installed grub on the /boot partition when i did the install. also any hints on how to repair the bootloader
[18:20] <ActionParsnip> unguest: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/11/multi-touch-in-ubuntu-using-kinect-video-ppa/
[18:21] <SIFTU> dylan13: bootloader go on the disk, not partition
[18:21] <Osmodivs> ActionParsnip, Of course not, I have Ubuntu 11.04, this happened when the kernel updated to <IP_ADDRESS>
[18:21] <unguest> SIFTU: does your nick have an alternate spelling?
[18:21] <jrib> witeds_: so ask in the channel for your programming language
[18:21] <zykotick9> Osmodivs, it's the plymouth theme you are using
[18:22] <ActionParsnip> Osmodivs: just change the plymouth theme then
[18:22] <unguest> I can't seem to graps this acronym
[18:22] <unguest> people tell me to STFU
[18:22] <unguest> not sure what they mean
[18:23] <miels> I'm having trouble setting up a service - I'm following these directions here (http://howtonode.org/deploying-node-upstart-monit) but after putting an upstart conf in /etc/init I can't execute 'start service'… am I doing something wrong?
[18:23] <unguest> is that an encourangement?
[18:23] <IdleOne> unguest: Please don't use that acronym in here and I suggest you google it to know what it means
[18:23] <ActionParsnip> unguest: does the link I gave help?
[18:24] <Krenair> I have my hard drive partitioned with one partition being Windows 7 home premium and another Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit desktop
[18:24] <unguest> Idleone: he was the first one using it, I'm just refering to an example
[18:24] <Krenair> Usually I run ubuntu
[18:24] <dylan13> Thanks for being so patient but i still don't understand what i need to do. I'm great at working in ubuntu but haven't had to install it many times, let alone dual boot"
[18:24] <unguest> see I got this Dell which came with Ubuntu
[18:24] <zaksoldier> Hi all
[18:24] <Krenair> But on the occasion that I finish using windows 7 and restart back to ubuntu, something odd occurs
[18:24] <unguest> now I can't install MS Word
[18:24] <zaksoldier> How register
[18:24] <Krenair> When I log in, ubuntu doesn't seem to be able to establish a network connection
[18:25] <kjeldor> I want to install windows after ubunto, so I searched google, and said I have to save my MBR, i want to save my MBR, so I searched google again and came up with this command: dd if=/dev/sda of=/mbr.bin bs=446 count=1  When I run it, it says permision denied.. what should I do?
[18:25] <ActionParsnip> unguest: does the link I gave help with the connect
[18:25] <zykotick9> !register > zaksoldier
[18:25] <SIFTU> unguest: no
[18:25] <ActionParsnip> unguest: use libreoffice instead, its in a default install
[18:25] <unguest> MS Word is very important to me, I write urgent emails
[18:25] <jrib> kjeldor: just install windows then reinstall grub
[18:25] <jrib> !grub | kjeldor
[18:25] <Krenair> It takes a couple of reboots and messing with my ethernet cable and power cable to fix this.
[18:25] <Krenair> What do?
[18:26] <kjeldor> OK thanks
[18:26] <unguest> by the way, You are hereby declared an heir to King Taub The Third
[18:26] <Tixos> hey
[18:26] <unguest> would be so kind as to transfer a token amount to my legitimate account in Leeds, UK?
[18:26] <Tixos> ubuntu encryption, is it possible to encrypt the whole filesystem ?
[18:27] <wasutton3> does anyone have any experience with hp wireless printers?
[18:27] <ActionParsnip> unguest: how do you mean?
[18:27] <unguest> *you
[18:27] <ActionParsnip> unguest: no, what do you mean. How is that relevant to your issues>
[18:27] <yeats> !encrypt | Tixos
[18:28] <Tixos> sorry, i didnt say encrypted directories
[18:28] <unguest> ActionParsnip: see, there's a transaction fee. In order for you to receive your rightful $3mln, please send me something of value, I don't much care what. a Dell would do.
[18:28] <Hasham> is there anyway i can migrate to gnome 3
[18:28] <ActionParsnip> unguest: take it elsewhere, this is support
[18:28] <zykotick9> !gnome3 | Hasham
[18:28] <yeats> Tixos: not sure of the reason you're asking, but I would imagine it would neither be necessary nor desirable
[18:28] <unguest> but I'm trying to get support!
[18:29] <unguest> as in financial support
[18:29] <Tixos> yeats: the reason is security
[18:29] <Tixos> and many people do it
[18:29] <oCean> unguest: please stop the offtopic talk
[18:29] <Tixos> i hear its even a feature on the alternate CD i am asking this question
[18:29] <ActionParsnip> unguest: again, this is Ubuntu support only
[18:29] <yeats> Tixos: I'm not aware of that, so I'll let others answer if they know
[18:29] <Sonarpulse> Hello everbody. I have a question about using qemu with a real boot partition
[18:29] <unguest> what would be the appropriate channel for my future business transactions?
[18:30] <oCean> unguest: please stop it now
[18:30] <zykotick9> Sonarpulse, what's the question?
[18:30] <Sonarpulse> https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/QEMU#Using_any_real_partition_as_the_single_primary_partition_of_a_hard_disk_image
[18:30] <Sonarpulse> found some instructions there
[18:30] <unguest> this whole freenode is boring.
[18:30] <unguest> on another note
[18:31] <Sogorukuhn1> Hi @ all
[18:31] <Sonarpulse> basically it says to use software raid + a loopbacked mbr to fake a 1 partition disk for qemu
[18:31] <Tixos>  so, anybody else have input on my question ?
[18:32] <Sonarpulse> use mdadm to append a small mbr-sized loopback to the front of your partition
[18:32] <Sonarpulse> and uses fdisk to make a new mbr on the loopback
[18:32] <Sonarpulse> however it looks like you are just supposed to hop that fdisk only writes to your loopback
[18:33] <Sogorukuhn1> I need some help. The sound is gone. The cardes are normally detected, mixer is ok, alsa and pulse seems to be ok. aplay works fine, like everything is ok. But still no sound
[18:34] <Sonarpulse> i think I will try the qemu irc this is pretty specialized
[18:34] <watchedman> hey all, I'm dealing with an interesting issue with a multi-hard drive setup...
[18:34] <wzhh> clear
[18:35] <Tixos> guys is there any support or information on 11.04 encrypted filesystems ?  this is a bit old i guess  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFilesystemsViaUbiquity
[18:35] <watchedman> i have a tower with 4 hard drives totaling around 2tb that i want to use for audio recording (ubuntu studio)
[18:35] <watchedman> i want a dedicated disk for audio recording, the others for system and storage etc
[18:36] <watchedman> 3 are sata, 1 is sharing an ide with a dvd drive
[18:36] <E3D3_1> How can I place the window-top-buttons (close-min-max) from left to the right upper corner ?
[18:36] <WebETGUser151> hey guys
[18:36] <watchedman> what would be an ideal partitioning scheme?
[18:36] <watchedman> i'm wondering if there'd be benefits to having /swap or /home on a different drive than /
[18:36] <SIFTU> watchedman: I would software Raid + LVM personally
[18:37] <WebETGUser151> how hard is it to build a beowolf cluster using ubuntu?
[18:37] <watchedman> SIFTU, I am worried that there will be problems with recording big audio streams (multitrack 96khz/24bit) with that setup...
[18:37] <Sonarpulse> watchedman: open your DAW or whatever
[18:37] <Sonarpulse> figure out were things are put by default
[18:38] <Sonarpulse> and mount your harddrives to those directorys
[18:38] <watchedman> i would do that if i already had the OS installed but I don't
[18:38] <SIFTU> watchedman: so you want performance or redundancy?
[18:38] <watchedman> both, of course! ;>
[18:39] <ezeql> i just cant get nvdia propietary drivers working :(
[18:39] <SIFTU> watchedman: lol then raid 1+0
[18:39] <glebihan> E3D3_1, http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/put-closemaximizeminimize-buttons-on-the-left-in-ubuntu/
[18:39] <Sonarpulse> @SIFTU you see my question? also about disk related stuff
[18:39] <secspy> can i upgrade to maverick using apt-get dist-upgrade? currently on lucid
[18:40] <watchedman> i basically want to have one drive dedicated just to be the destination for live audio recording, and then have the other three shared among /, /home, /swap, and storage space
[18:40] <SIFTU> get rid of the IDE drive.. or use it for backups.. get another SATA and make RAID 1+0, put LVM on top of it so you can expand your partitons at will
[18:40] <SIFTU> watchedman: there is no redundancy there
[18:40] <SIFTU> watchedman: and you performance is limited to what a single drive can put out
[18:41] <watchedman> well i would have an external e-sata drive with rsync backups of the storage
[18:41] <E3D3_1> glebihan: Thanks, I read the same but just could not believe that this is the default way.
[18:41] <watchedman> i basically don't want to take the raid plunge
[18:41] <SIFTU> Sonarpulse: I have not done that sorry
[18:41] <watchedman> in terms of buying more hardware
[18:41] <glebihan> E3D3_1, it is
[18:41] <yeats> secspy: you have to go to System -> Administration -> Software Sources and select that you want "normal releases"
[18:41] <SIFTU> watchedman: well you can have a 3 disk RAID5
[18:41] <mukti> What do you all use for desktop backups
[18:41] <blissi> Unity sucks
[18:41] <watchedman> but i don't need, like, excessive performance
[18:41] <watchedman> lol
[18:41] <miels> anyone have experience with upstart? I can't get it to recognize my service.
[18:42] <SIFTU> watchedman: you said you wanted redundancy.. thats RAID
[18:42] <mukti> blissi: I agree
[18:42] <watchedman> i'm not going to be recording more than 8 tracks simultaneously
[18:42] <Sonarpulse> If you have a solid state drive I would use that for swaps
[18:42] <famgod> im having trouble with wolfenstein enemy territory it works fine except I get o sound /dev/dsp: Input/output error * Could not mmap /dev/dsp here is a pastebin of my full error http://pastebin.com/wQbuZcpD
[18:42] <watchedman> SIFTU i didn't mean it so narrowly
[18:42] <watchedman> i just mean i want backups
[18:42] <secspy> guys i need an answer as i want to go through to natty
[18:42] <SIFTU> watchedman: ok so you dont care if a drive dies and you have to rebuild that data
[18:42] <yeats> secspy: did you see my response?
[18:42] <watchedman> correct
[18:42] <zykotick9> Sonarpulse, generally people don't want SWAP on SSD drives as it may shorten their lives
[18:42] <blissi> mukti, I'm having to run Gnome but as it's not default on the OS I'm not happy... suggestions?
[18:43] <mukti> does anyone do regular backups of their computer?
[18:43] <blissi> mukti, I like to keep inline with default settings
[18:43] <Sonarpulse> ok
[18:43] <secspy> yeats: nop, let me scroll bacl
[18:43] <blissi> !ops
[18:43] <secspy> back*
[18:43] <SIFTU> watchedman: use bonnie++ on each drive and find the fastest.. use that for your sound or whatever
[18:43] <Sonarpulse> well i'm probably out of my legue here
[18:43] <mukti> blissi: you could run it in ubuntu classic mode when you log in
[18:43] <watchedman> i'm figuring i'll just put swap as the first partition on one of the storage drives, separate from the root drive.
[18:43] <Flannel> blissi: yes?
[18:43] <Sonarpulse> just sudgestted that because it would be fastest
[18:43] <miels> anyone have experience with UPSTART?
[18:43] <blissi> Flannel, when are you going to get rid of Unity?
[18:43] <secspy> meaning apt-get wont get me going?
[18:44] <secspy> i have no gui
[18:44] <IdleOne> You used the the !ops call for that?
[18:44] <Tech-1> lol
[18:44] <Flannel> blissi: Please help keep this channel ontopic.  If you'd like to discuss how you like/dislike something, please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic, thanks.
[18:44] <yeats> secspy: ah - let me check something then.
[18:45] <watchedman> so i guess my real question is, is there any performance benefit to having /home on a different physical drive than /
[18:45] <Saeid> How can I adjust my lcd brighness in lxde desktop ?
[18:45] <zykotick9> watchedman, performance, no.
[18:45] <yeats> secspy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MaverickUpgrades#Upgrade%20from%2010.04%20LTS%20to%2010.10 (see under "Network Upgrade for Ubuntu Servers"_
[18:45] <Sogorukuhn1> Does someone have experience with solving of soundproblems?
[18:46] <polifasio> watchedman: yes.
[18:46] <watchedman> lol
[18:46] <secspy> thanks, i'ma check it out
[18:46] <watchedman> ok, zyko if not performance any other benefits? and polifasio, why?
[18:46] <yeats> !sound | Sogorukuhn1
[18:47] <zykotick9> watchedman, tab fail.  Having a separate /home would make fresh installing easier - that's about it...
[18:47] <Klossor> watchedman: not performance, but it will be handy come time for a major change to the system
[18:47] <polifasio> watchedman: in plain old mechanical drives, being at the beginning is always faster than being at the end.
[18:48] <polifasio> watchedman: in SSDs, this does not apply
[18:48] <Sogorukuhn1> @yeats: The sound cards are detected normaly, aplay looks like everything is ok but still no sound, mixer configuration is ok
[18:48] <Sogorukuhn1> @yeats: http://pastebin.com/HBykkKDE
[18:49] <zykotick9> polifasio, i'm not sure your statement re: HDs is even accurate
[18:49] <polifasio> watchedman: historically, all linux distributions separate /home from the rest of the system. It was only until Lindows (later Linspire), and later Ubuntu, that it is placed all in one.
[18:49] <secspy> thanks for the site yeats
[18:49] <watchedman> ok i'm starting to understand this. so if i want to not deal with LVM or RAID, but have a 'poor man' logical separation between good performing hard drive space and performance-unimportant storage space on a bunch of HDD's, i can just partition each one and put what i want to perform well as the first partition of each?
[18:49] <yeats> secspy: no problem ;-)
[18:49] <blissi> !ops - There are too many typos in this channel. It's getting annoying.
[18:50] <polifasio> zykotick9: this is something that happens with magnetic driven disks since the dawn of time
[18:50] <oCean> blissi: stop that
[18:50] <jigal> hello i am trying to connect to my local apache server. I have created a virtual host and enabled it in my sites-enabled but when i browse my site i get www.site.com can not be found. No error in my apache log. what should i do?
[18:50] <blissi> jigal, pastebin the vhost
[18:51] <E3D3_1> polifasio: I just set up a LVM with the alternate Ubuntu but it/I put /home inside the root, Is it easy to separate it again. I like to experimentate with a shared /home between multiple OS's ?
[18:52] <zykotick9> watchedman, personally i don't think Software Raid and/or LVM will be much benefit, and will certainly add a significant level of complexity to your setup.  Good luck, whatever you choose.
[18:52] <watchedman> E3D3_1 I read that sharing /home among OS's is risky because many system settings are stored in /home
[18:52] <kermit> how do i set the block size on a device  when it lies (4k drive saying its 512)
[18:52] <watchedman> thanks zyko
[18:52] <jigal> blissi, http://pastebin.com/J15XcU5v
[18:53] <zykotick9> E3D3_1, from personally experience i can say sharing /home can lead to unexpected issues
[18:53] <zykotick9> watchedman, watch your TAB completion "z yko" might not like being thanked :)
[18:53] <drakos> ,,,
[18:54] <polifasio> E3D3_1: yes and no. It is comparatively easy to separate it. However, using one /home with different versions and different distributions would be troublesome, unless you stuck to the bare basics.
[18:54] <blissi> jigal, does your index.php work ?
[18:54] <zykotick9> watchedman, oh there isn't a zyko - you're just not using TAB, I'm on the trolley now
[18:54] <greenit> hi, does any1 have a nvidia graphics card?
[18:54] <polifasio> E3D3_1: and when I mean bare basics, I mean no graphical interface
[18:54] <jigal> blink, it doesn't even get to my index.php
[18:54] <watchedman> zykotick9: thanks for teaching me an IRC feature =)
[18:55] <E3D3_1> watchedman: zykotick9: polifasio: Thanks all for sharing.
[18:55] <jigal> blissi, it doesn't even get there
[18:55] <Sogorukuhn1> Here my AlsaInfo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/676725/
[18:55] <blissi> jigal, have you tried accessing it without any modifications to Apache?
[18:56] <polifasio> [|;
[18:56] <greenit> help plz! i have a nivida graphics card and the windows are lagging when i move them....
[18:56] <greenit> is there a way to get rid of this?
[18:57] <zykotick9> greenit, have you installed the nvidia proprietary driver for you card?
[18:57] <jigal> blissi, nope but i can't navigate to it
[18:57] <polifasio> greenit: kid, you need to give up more info. Hardware, Ubuntu version, drivers installed, other things you have tried...
[18:57] <greenit> zykotick9, yeah, it is installed by default....
[18:57] <zykotick9> greenit, not be default no
[18:57] <E3D3_1> polifasio: You mean a whole OS without GUI or just the installation/move-procedures ?
[18:59] <polifasio> E3D3_1: for /home to work between different distros? nowadays you would need to stick pretty much to the command line. Most graphical environments have customizations for distros.
[18:59] <[THC]AcidRain> what channel do i ask for hardware support?
[18:59] <greenit> zykotick9, when i click on additional drivers, there is "accelerated graphics driver (current version)" and on the bottom: "This driver is activated, but not used."
[18:59] <oCean> [THC]AcidRain: channel ##hardware
[18:59] <zykotick9> greenit, that's just a bug - if it's working, ignore it.
[19:00] <[THC]AcidRain> ok. is there a ubuntu command to get my mobo type?
[19:00] <[THC]AcidRain> the only markings on it is AM2++
[19:00] <polifasio> E3D3_1: for moving it to another partition? it is just a matter of having the new partition ready, and moving the info (THIS CANNOT BE DONE WHILE LOGGED IN).
[19:00] <zykotick9> [THC]AcidRain, i don't think so, the chipsets used probably, but the mobo itself - don't think so
[19:00] <greenit> zykotick9, thats the problem... it works, but the windows are lagging when i move them...
[19:01] <greenit> my hardware is: nvidia gtx 570
[19:01] <greenit> ubuntu: 64-bit system
[19:01] <zykotick9> greenit, well, when you run glxgears do you get a reasonable FPS
[19:02] <polifasio> E3D3_1: ...you might need to fiddle with some mapping, but moving it would be little trouble. But as I said above, using it between *multiple* distros, that will lead to headaches these days.
[19:02] <polifasio> bbl
[19:02] <greenit> zykotick9, do i have to install them first?
[19:02] <miels> anyone with upstart experience? it's not recognizing anything
[19:02] <zykotick9> greenit, the mesa-utils package includes glxgears/glxinfo
[19:03] <E3D3_1> polifasio: Funny that part of the LVM is much more simple than it looks & part is full of exceptions. I will play with it on my USB-hard-disc. Thanks for the warnings & kind help.
[19:03] <greenit> zykotick9, erm... do i see the fps anywhere?
[19:03] <greenit> ah, in the terminal, forget it^^
[19:03] <zykotick9> greenit, start glxgears from a terminal
[19:04] <greenit> zykotick9, i use guake, so i dont see the terminal normally ;)
[19:04] <greenit> zykotick9, i get 60 fps
[19:04] <zykotick9> greenit, your nvidia-drivers aren't working/install correctly then!
[19:04] <devish> is there something on how to host website on ubuntu ?
[19:04] <SIFTU> greenit: you have vsync enabled
[19:05] <zykotick9> SIFTU, i'd think it would still be WAY above 60
[19:05] <goer> Hi all. Anyone tried this (E17) with Mint? url= http://maketecheasier.com/run-enlightenment-e17-on-ubuntu-karmic/2010/01/14
[19:05] <SIFTU> greenit: try "vblank_mode=0 glxgears"
[19:05] <SIFTU> zykotick9: not when it's syncing with the refresh rate
[19:06] <goer> Mint+E17 would HAVE to be the ultimate combination?
[19:06] <greenit> still 60 fps...
[19:07] <zykotick9> SIFTU, my FPS are in the thousands with vsync enabled?
[19:07] <goer> Sorry, I meant Ubuntu (not Mint)
[19:07] <greenit> zykotick9, how do i install the driver correctly
[19:07] <greenit> ?
[19:07] <SIFTU> zykotick9: mine stay at 60, unless i set the env variable to vblank_mod=0
[19:08] <zykotick9> SIFTU, using that here just increases my FPS by a thousand or so
[19:08] <miels> is this the right upstart script? http://pastebin.com/vkYurQGD
[19:08] <SIFTU> zykotick9: it shouldnt have :)
[19:08] <SIFTU> zykotick9: compiz also kills those figures
[19:09] <zykotick9> SIFTU, running compiz here, not sure if it's vsync is currently enabled though
[19:09] <greenit> do i have to install the nvidia driver new when the gears have constantly 60 fps?
[19:09] <ActionParsnip> greenit: does nvidia-settings kick up an error when it runs?
[19:10] <bashelina> i get permission denied when i try to write to my external disk
[19:10] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip, not is use thing
[19:10] <bashelina> /dev/sdf1  /media/seagate  ext4 user,rw 0 0
[19:10] <ActionParsnip> greenit: glxgears is a poor 3D performance test
[19:10] <zykotick9> bashelina, change the permissions on the mount point
[19:10] <jpmh> I have a printer on /dev/usb/lp0 - I can print to it directly, text only - I tried to set up a lp setting, text only tc - all seems fine - it accepts te jobs etc.   They get queued but they never start to print, what's the issue
[19:10] <SIFTU> ActionParsnip: yes but it is clearly showing a problem here
[19:10] <greenit> ActionParsnip, nope, it says nothing
[19:10] <ActionParsnip> SIFTU: possibly
[19:10] <bashelina> zykotick9,  how ?
[19:11] <ActionParsnip> greenit: wht nvidia chip is it?
[19:11] <zykotick9> bashelina, do you want anyone to be able to write to it?
[19:11] <SIFTU> ActionParsnip: the fps is synced with the screen refresh rate.. there is no way a GT 570 would get 60fps at full speed
[19:11] <bashelina> zykotick9,  but the directories in /media should be owned by root
[19:11] <greenit> ActionParsnip, do you mean the name of my graphics card?
[19:11] <zykotick9> bashelina, "sudo chmod 777 /media/seagate" would work (give everyone write access)
[19:11] <ActionParsnip> greenit: just the video chip please
[19:12] <greenit> ActionParsnip, where do i see it?
[19:12] <zykotick9> greenit, "lspci | grep -i vga"
[19:12] <ActionParsnip> greenit: as zykotick9 says
[19:12] <caterpillar797> hi
[19:12] <greenit> ActionParsnip, gf110
[19:12] <bashelina> zykotick9,  ah ok,,, thougt all dirs where 755 .... thx
[19:13] <bashelina> zykotick9,  ah ok,,, thougt all dirs where 755 .... thx
[19:13] <ActionParsnip> greenit: ok and can you pastebin the output of:  lsb_release -a; dpkg -l | grep nvidia      Thanks

[19:14] <Slart> jake_: joli os?
[19:15] <greenit> ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/Z9rfPgC3
[19:15] <ActionParsnip> konbon: its a partition, not a drive. You are mounting /dev/sda1   sda is the drive, sda1 is the partition
[19:15] <jigal> hello i am trying to connect to my local apache server. I have created a virtual host and enabled it in my sites-enabled but when i browse my site i get www.site.com can not be found. No error in my apache log. what should i do?
[19:15] <konbon> so, how can i mount it ?
[19:15] <zykotick9> Slart, jolios is an ubuntu derivative for netbooks
[19:15] <jake_> yeah, i was looking at better os than windows and it said joli os was good for netbooks
[19:15] <Slart> zykotick9: ah.. thanks.. didn't know that
[19:15] <bashelina> zykotick9,  Hey i found another way to solve it
[19:15] <Tyrant> When creating a shared library using ld, how do I also link it to another static or shared library, such as libusb?
[19:15] <beaker__> ubuntu 11.04 is also good for netbooks if you stick with unity
[19:16] <zykotick9> bashelina, which is?
[19:16] <dylan13> I repaired the bootloader but it still won't start up in windows
[19:16] <jake_> everytime i try to install flash it said it fails
[19:16] <bashelina> zykotick9,  chaning the ownership of the mount point to   root:users
[19:16] <nkh1> hi, how should I config my remaster to remove "install Release" icon from desktop after installing?? I put it to /etc/skel/Desktop to appear in live mode but I DO NOT want it to appear after install on desktop! :|
[19:16] <beaker__> @dylan13 when you try to start windows does it return to the loader?
[19:16] <bashelina> zykotick9,  all regular users are in group users so they access

[19:17] <Grey_Loki> 15
[19:18] <zykotick9> ezeql, installing the driver from nvidia.com isn't recommended/supported here - you should consider using the drivers provided by Ubuntu
[19:18] <Slart> jake_: I think you'll be better off trying some of the support options that Jolicloud offers.. http://www.jolicloud.com/support seems to list some
[19:18] <konbon> ActionParsnip, do you know how i can change the settings to force it to mount on sda1?
[19:18] <jerry_> Does anyne have time for a Update manager question?
[19:18] <Slart> jake_: you might also want to check this http://help.jolicloud.com/home

[19:20] <zykotick9> EzeQL2, ahhh, well best of luck then.

[19:21] <SIFTU> greenit: I found how to reproduce you problem on my system
[19:21] <jerry_> new here ... don't know how to get private msg

[19:22] <nkh1> Any Ideas on my question with remastersys? >> I want to remove "Install Release" icon from desktop after installing, automatically
[19:22] <SIFTU> greenit: nvidia
[19:22] <Slart> jerry_: it should show up somewhere in your irc-program.. a new tab or some other thing.. it can differ a lot between different irc programs
[19:22] <jerry_> Ok please bear with me a sec ... I need to gather info...
[19:22] <greenit> SIFTU, k
[19:22] <greenit> SIFTU, did u solve it? :)
[19:22] <SIFTU> greenit: yeah.. load up nvidia-settings
[19:22] <greenit> SIFTU, how, where?
[19:23] <SIFTU> greenit: you could just type it in a terminal to test
[19:23] <jerry_> I have a problem that is affecting the Update manager, Synaptic, and the Ubuntu Software center .... error msg to follow
[19:23] <jerry_> E:Malformed line 59 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist parse), E:Malformed line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/apticons.list (dist parse)
[19:23] <bashelina> zykotick9,  nah it didnt work
[19:23] <bashelina> zykotick9,  no just an external usb harddisk
[19:23] <greenit> SIFTU, ok, but how do i upload these settings?
[19:23] <SIFTU> greenit: do you see sync to vblank on like this http://dl.dropbox.com/u/906920/screenshots/screenshot-20110828122044.jpeg
[19:24] <zykotick9> bashelina, what format is it?  extX or FAT/NTFS?
[19:24] <greenit> SIFTU, yes
[19:24] <jerry_> How do I repair/fix the source error?
[19:24] <EzeQL2> why is all too dificult :( ?
[19:24] <SIFTU> greenit: turn it off
[19:24] <SIFTU> greenit: run glxgears again.. tell me the fps
[19:25] <bashelina> zykotick9, ext4
[19:25] <zykotick9> jerry_, the particular file with the issue is /etc/apt/sources.list.d/apticons.list and it's on line 1 -
[19:25] <zykotick9> bashelina, are you saying my chmod on the mount point isn't working, or your attempt to change the owner isn't working?
[19:26] <jerry_> Zykotick ... yes... I loked at it but nothing appeared out of normal.... I don't know what to do t fix it.
[19:26] <bashelina> chmod 777 does work
[19:26] <bashelina> zykotick9, 777 does work
[19:26] <zykotick9> bashelina, right - so what's the problem?
[19:26] <bashelina> zykotick9,   ive used all directories 755 within /media   in the past
[19:27] <zykotick9> bashelina, ? well 755 doesn't give write access to group and other - so i'm not sure how.  Good luck man.
[19:28] <cjae> wasnt there a logitech keyboard tool called mx5000tools or something
[19:28] <cjae> got a 5500mx want to try to get some more keys workings
[19:28] <cjae> -s
[19:28] <bashelina> zykotick9,   ok thx
[19:29] <greenit> SIFTU, it killed my computer... and now i have 18170 fps^^
[19:29] <rodhash> Hello guys.. Pls, I want to update xserver-xorg-video-intel from 2:2.13 to 2:2.14.. but I found only to naty and I'm running maverick... Is there any problem to download and upgrade it?
[19:29] <SIFTU> Grey_Loki: killed it?
[19:29] <jerry_> ZYKOTICK  .. Thanks ... I know where the problem lies ... I just don't know how to fix it.  It is preventing me me from downloading any software or updating packages.
[19:30] <dylan13> So can anyone point me in the right direction? I repaired the bootloader and it still won't boot into windows.
[19:30] <SIFTU> greenit: killed it?
[19:30] <zykotick9> rodhash, just guessing, but you'd probably need to update all of xorg to use that driver - probably NOT what you want.
[19:30] <greenit> SIFTU, yeah, probably because the 270 driver was inscribed, but i replaced it by the 280 driver
[19:30] <Merlinux> Hmm
[19:30] <SIFTU> greenit: ah ok.. so is it all working now?
[19:30] <Merlinux> I'm having problems with my wlan..
[19:31] <Moshanator> jerry_, any reason for wanting that specific version?
[19:31] <greenit> SIFTU, yes, but not fluently, the computer is lagging when i run them
[19:31] <jerry_> Nope.... I just want to get it fixed... if you refer to the error msg there are three parts.  Here it is again ...
[19:31] <jerry_> E:Malformed line 59 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist parse), E:Malformed line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/apticons.list (dist parse)
[19:32] <Moshanator> oh, i meant rodhash
[19:32] <SIFTU> greenit: hmm.. is your cpu getting stressed during it?
[19:32] <urlin2u> jerry_, pastebin the apt sourecs list
[19:32] <rodhash> Moshanator: To fix this error --> get vblank counter failed: Invalid argument
[19:32] <Moshanator> k
[19:32] <bashelina> rodhash,  yea i had problem with intel xserver video driver with natty.. it worked fine with maverick
[19:33] <K350> Is there anyone here who uses mp3blaster?
[19:33] <greenit> SIFTU, i dont know, but i dont want to run it again^^
[19:33] <rodhash> bashelina: Sorry? You fixed it upgrading the driver? To this versin I mentioned?
[19:33] <jerry_> URLIN2U  I don't understand pastebin the apt sourecs list???
[19:33] <zykotick9> !paste | jerry_
[19:34] <SIFTU> greenit: it works on the fly on my system with no problems.. just run system monitor or something and see what your cpu usage is like now
[19:34] <bashelina> rodhash,  no im stuck with maverick , cant upgrade to natty :(
[19:34] <jerry_> So if I go to paste.ubuntu.com the text will appear here?
[19:34] <greenit> SIFTU, only 2 of the cores are on 100%
[19:35] <rodhash> bashelina: Oh, I got it.. In my case I'm not upgrading to natty... I'm just upgrading the vide driver, used in natty
[19:35] <SIFTU> greenit: lol thats bad
[19:35] <Flannel> jerry_: You paste stuff into that page, then it'll give you a url, which you give to people here
[19:35] <SIFTU> greenit: run top in a terminal as see whats using it all
[19:35] <jerry_> ahhhh thanks ... got it :)
[19:35] <urlin2u> jerry_, if you run in the terminal cat /etc/apt/sources.list  you will see the list in the terminal, if you run sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list you will get a read and write pastebin ethier. http://paste.ubuntu.com/ you also a have a /etc/apt/sources.list.d  you can look at for the other error
[19:35] <bashelina> rodhash,  but does to regular natty intel driver work any good ?
[19:36] <rodhash> bashelina: I found something saying yes.. on bug reports
[19:36] <ActionParsnip> bashelina: its pretty good here
[19:37] <greenit> SIFTU, 100% glxgears, 49% Xorg, 46% compiz
[19:38] <SIFTU> greenit: I thought you were not running glxgears
[19:38] <jerry_> Ok  the error text is at http://paste.ubuntu.com/676752/
[19:39] <greenit> SIFTU, it is only lagging like hell when i run them... without it only lags a bit when i move the windows
[19:39] <urlin2u> jerry_, run the cat, ir gedit command and post thise outputs.
[19:39] <slinzex> Hi all, I'm using wifi usb device CT-WN4322Z. On the off site the link to download driver is not available for linux now. I always thinked that it was zydas chipset, but now I saw the cover... How to obtain the latest and best driver for ubuntu?
[19:39] <SIFTU> greenit: makes sense thats its lagging with CPU being hit like that
[19:39] <greenit> SIFTU, and without them compiz uses 17%
[19:39] <rodhash> Guys.. Does anyone know if I can use packages from natty or oneiric on maverick ??
[19:39] <SIFTU> greenit: something is wrong there with the driver or something
[19:39] <greenit> SIFTU, and thats the highest usage
[19:40] <jerry_> URLIN2U  I need a little hand holding with terminal commands
[19:40] <glebihan> rodhash, you shouldn't
[19:40] <jerry_> so I type in cat, ir gedit?
[19:40] <ActionParsnip> rodhash: its not advised and may break your OS but technically you can. You may make a mess of your packages, requiring a lot of work or reinstall
[19:41] <urlin2u> jerry_, no problem,  run sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list  copy and paste the whole file, and be careful you're in read write mode with it open
[19:42] <jerry_> Thanks URLIN ... From the error there are two separate files.  Do I run the command for each and post the results?
[19:42] <SIFTU> greenit: did you ever manually install the nvidia drivers?
[19:42] <urlin2u> jerry_, lets start with the regular sources.list
[19:42] <jerry_> ok
[19:43] <SIFTU> greenit: i.e. download them from nvidia site and install them?
[19:43] <renancoelho> hello, I am at the flash shockwave website on ubuntu. how do I download the update and update it? Thanks for any help.
[19:43] <cjae> Is this relevant anymore? http://download.gna.org/mx5000tools/
[19:44] <greenit> SIFTU, i tested it in linux mint, but they did work like the ones installed from the repos
[19:45] <urlin2u> renancoelho, post a link to that site
[19:46] <ActionParsnip> renancoelho: shockwave don't own flash anymore, it is Adobe's  property now
[19:46] <SIFTU> greenit: I'm just saying as manual versions leave old files behind causing that type of behaviour
[19:46] <renancoelho> at the adobe website... http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
[19:46] <ActionParsnip> renancoelho: if you want flash then install flashplugin-nonfree   and you will have flash plugin for your browsers
[19:46] <greenit> SIFTU, oh, i didnt install drivers manually since i installed ubuntu
[19:46] <ActionParsnip> renancoelho: you don't need the website

[19:51] <nailox> hi all. Im on ubu 10.4 when i try crontab -e i get: command not found. i run it as root. any ideas ?
[19:51] <jerry_> URLIN Thanks for the help BTW  I am getting ready to deploy t the Hurricane zone and I need to get my computer straightened out.
[19:51] <zeleftikam> ActionParsnip, will do. thanks very much!
[19:51] <SIFTU> greenit: can you 'find /usr/lib -iname "libgl*"'
[19:51] <SciurusDoomus> How is the hurricane zone? Everything's perfectly fine in MA even though everyone's overreacting.
[19:52] <urlin2u> jerry_, the line 59 404's put a # in front of it in the open list and save
[19:52] <jerry_> ZYKOTICK ... I have had to jump back and fourth between the two a few times to get a distro to work on my computer ... any mixing is unintentional
[19:52] <greenit> SIFTU, yes
[19:52] <SIFTU> greenit: pastebinit
[19:52] <nailox> can anyone help me with cron ? "crontab -e" says command not found
[19:52] <jerry_> URLIN Thanks ... regardind the other error on Line 1 ... do I do the same?
[19:53] <SciurusDoomus> @nailox are all the packages installed?
[19:53] <greenit> SIFTU, http://pastebin.com/ks1vQDZX
[19:53] <nailox> SciurusDoomus i can find cron.d in /etc .. not sure if that means its installed
[19:53] <urlin2u> jerry_, you also have a strange mixture of sources in that file including mint.
[19:54] <zykotick9> urlin2u, you're wasting your time trying to fix jerry_'s issue i'm afraid - did you see the repos in there paste?  That's a disaster.
[19:54] <greenit> any1 else has a problem with ubuntu one? it always tells me that i syncs, but it doesnt get a connection to sync... however, i am logged in through it
[19:54] <jerry_> Is there a way I can clean the mint material?
[19:54] <SciurusDoomus> I dunno if I can help you, then... what package is contrab listed under?
[19:54] <urlin2u> zykotick9, I know I was hoping somebody else would notice, thanks.;)
[19:55] <nailox> SciurusDoomus how do i check that ?
[19:55] <jerry_> Urlin2u Thats why they pay you guys the big bucks :)
[19:55] <guntbert> greenit: ask in #ubuntuone please
[19:55] <zeleftikam> ActionParsnip, no good. holding/pressing SHIFT at startup as described by the directions does not give me the GRUB menu. It says Booting from (C:), GRUB Loading, then the monitor shuts off
[19:55] <greenit> guntbert, k, thx :)
[19:55] <valberg> hi - i'm having problems getting my wine (running on ubuntu 11.04) to detect my dvd drive (i'm trying to burn a iso file using imgburn which is a win program)
[19:55] <valberg> somehow ubuntu just got too fancy and i can't just write /media/cdrom for the drive location
[19:55] <valberg> any ideas?
[19:56] <zykotick9> valberg, /media/cdrom is a mount point NOT a device!!!
[19:56] <SciurusDoomus> @Nailox do you have Cron installed? As I understand it Crontab is just tables for Cron.
[19:56] <ActionParsnip> valberg: why bother, there are plenty of native burners
[19:56] <guntbert> valberg: why don't you use a native burner?
[19:56] <guntbert> hmph ... :)
[19:56] <ActionParsnip> !burner | valberg
[19:56] <valberg> ActionParsnip: it doesnt work
[19:56] <valberg> i've tried with brasero twice
[19:57] <guntbert> !work | valberg
[19:57] <nailox> SciurusDoomus yes it wasnt installed. got it now. thx
[19:57] <ActionParsnip> valberg: and how aboutwith xfburn?
[19:57] <zeleftikam> ActionParsnip, any ideas on where i should go from here?
[19:57] <SciurusDoomus> nailox No problem.  Is it on IRC all the time?..." is why that's one of my favourite factoids on freenode
[19:57] <valberg> ActionParsnip: haven't tried - don't have unlimited supplies of dvd's :) - but will give it a try
[19:57] <ActionParsnip> zeleftikam: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
[19:58] <Voita> Could someone please help me with my wireless card. Seems it no longer can find my router.
[19:58] <zeleftikam> ActionParsnip, no
[19:58] <zeleftikam> i just got it from the Ubuntu site
[19:58] <ActionParsnip> valberg: use one of the other burners, there are more than brasero.
[19:58] <ActionParsnip> valberg: personally I have had zero luck with brasero, xfburn kicks ass
[19:58] <ActionParsnip> zeleftikam: irrelevant, the data may have been damaged in transit
[19:58] <zeleftikam> ActionParsnip, Mac OS X checked the disc image before burning it
[19:59] <Bjorklund> Hello, I'm doing a full backup of my files to DVDs. I want to use an archive with them, but tar.gz seems to be unsuited for archives over 2 GB. What archive should I use?
[19:59] <zeleftikam> idk if that's good enough or what
[19:59] <ActionParsnip> zeleftikam: if you didn't provide the MD5 hash, how do you know it checked it ok?
[19:59] <zeleftikam> i don't know, i don't know anything about how MD5 checks work
[19:59] <zeleftikam> sorry
[19:59] <Voita> I just installet 11.04 and my wireless is not working any more?
[19:59] <valberg> ActionParsnip: sounds great :)
[19:59] <zykotick9> Bjorklund, actually your ISO DVD is the cause of the 2GB limitation, i think you could use UDF to get over that.
[19:59] <ActionParsnip> !md5 | zeleftikam
[20:00] <zeleftikam> ActionParsnip, I don't have Windows
[20:00] <Bjorklund> zykotick9, could you explain what the differences are?
[20:00] <ActionParsnip> zeleftikam: read te page fully
[20:00] <zeleftikam> i did
[20:01] <zeleftikam> the word "Mac" does not appear on the page
[20:01] <Bjorklund> I'm switching back to Windows, Ubuntu has failed me for the last time.
[20:01] <blissi> !ops
[20:01] <ActionParsnip> zeleftikam: it has an MD5 test method for Mac, so you clearly didn't
[20:01] <blissi> someone is switching back to Windows!!!!!
[20:01] <Bjorklund> ...
[20:01] <Corey> blissi: Yess?
[20:01] <Bjorklund> That's not an emergency. It's personal preference.
[20:01] <blissi> Corey, see above message
[20:01] <zykotick9> Bjorklund, i've only had to use UDF once - to get a big file onto a DVD.  But regular ISO style DVDs will be limited to the 2GB (or less) per file.  Personally archiving your backups might not be a great idea (saves space, but if anything is corrupt you loose it all)
[20:01] <Corey> blissi: Stop abusing the ops trigger.
[20:02] <Voita> someone who has knowledge about wireless cards and network who can please help me out?
[20:02] <blissi> !ops
[20:02] <Bjorklund> Ah, alright zykotick9.
[20:02] <zeleftikam> ActionParsnip, http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows
[20:02] <ActionParsnip> !details | Voita
[20:02] <blissi> please stop abusing your chan ops status!
[20:02] <Corey> Flannel: With a quickness.  Beat me to it. :-)
[20:02] <zeleftikam> where does it explain what to do on Mac OS X?
[20:02] <ActionParsnip> zeleftikam: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM   look on the right hand side
[20:02] <ActionParsnip> zeleftikam: i made ubottu give you  that link, so you can use it
[20:03] <ActionParsnip> zeleftikam: why are you looking at other pages when I already did the work for you?????
[20:03] <Voita> sorry! just installed ubuntu 11.04 in my eeepc and I can not find my wireless anymore. Wire still works
[20:03] <ActionParsnip> Voita: which eeepc?
[20:03] <Voita> 1000H
[20:03] <Voita> asus
[20:03] <ActionParsnip> Voita: ALL eepcs are by asus ;)
[20:04] <Voita> :)
[20:04] <Merlinux> Is Ubuntu Init Script something that needs to be installed? :s
[20:04] <Younder> what is gnome-typing-monitor?
[20:04] <flametai1> Anyone experienced with booting Windows 7 with grub???
[20:05] <Bjorklund> Alright, I suppose a few pictures being corrupt is better than EVERYTHING.
[20:05] <Voita> could it be it not finding the driver? i do get online with wire?
[20:05] <urlin2u> flametai1, some do is it after a ubunru install?
[20:05] <urlin2u> ubintu*
[20:05] <zeleftikam> ActionParsnip, i can make Disk Utility give me a CRC32 checksum for the ISO, but https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes which is linked from what you sent me to has no CRC32 hashes listed
[20:05] <ActionParsnip> Voita: if you run: sudo lshw -C network    you will see a product line, you can websearch that to find a guide. Is there a shortcut button to turn the wifi off and on?
[20:05] <zeleftikam> Disk Utility on Mac OS X won't give me an MD5 checksum
[20:06] <urlin2u> flametai1, try sudo update-grub in ubuntu
[20:06] <ActionParsnip> !hashes
[20:06] <Voita> no shortcut button i networkmanager that i can find
[20:06] <jerry_> URLIN2U   I added the # in Gedit but it didn't help.  Is there anyway I can just get a clean file to replace this Frankenstein Monster?
[20:06] <ActionParsnip> Voita: its on the actual keyboard itself
[20:06] <zeleftikam> ActionParsnip, give me a while i'm going to work on this and get back to you if i have problems :) thanks so far
[20:06] <ActionParsnip> zeleftikam: the guide shows how to MD5 and the hashes page has the correct hashes of the images
[20:06] <urlin2u> jerry_, you have a very borked setup we can't really help to be honest.
[20:07] <zykotick9> jerry_, replacing the sources.list file isn't goint to help if you've installed stuff from the other repos
[20:07] <zeleftikam> ActionParsnip, got it, the hash is identical to what Ubuntu lists
[20:07] <Voita> yes there is a button on the keyboard :) but it doesnt seem to be the issue
[20:07] <[0xDEAD]> anyone know how I get the indicator-mutliload to show up in the top panel in unity?  I've added the ppa and installed it using apt-get but I'm still trying to figure out how to get it to show up.
[20:07] <ActionParsnip> Voita: Fn+F2 enable/disables the wireless, does pressing it make it work?
[20:07] <jerry_> Gee whiz   Do you have any suggestions how I can put it right?  I am getting ready to deply to the hurricane zone and I need to get my computer working right.
[20:08] <ActionParsnip> zeleftikam: good, remember to check the image BEFORE using it, so you know you aren't working with damaged data
[20:08] <zeleftikam> good tip
[20:08] <Voita> no sorry it doesnt... i will try to google what you told me before and get back if i dont solve it.. thanx so far :)
[20:08] <flametai1> urlin2u, I installed linux awhile ago, just no put Windows 7 as a duel boot, updated grub and it worked for about a night, came down this morning and Windows 7 was frozen so I had to do a manual shutdown, now when ever I select Windows 7 it just restarts the computer, I even tried using the repair disk.
[20:09] <ActionParsnip> Voita: then use the lshw outpupt to find guides :)
[20:09] <ActionParsnip> zeleftikam: don't worry, loads don't
[20:09] <zeleftikam> ActionParsnip, loads don't?
[20:09] <urlin2u> flametai1, run this script and pastebin the RESULTS.text file  http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/
[20:10] <ActionParsnip> zeleftikam: could always try the minimal ISO I guess. The server OS installs in text mode so it's a bit weird how it is screwing up
[20:10] <LABcrab> Hello!  How do i write a fraction that says one-tenth in Ubuntu?  Here: ¼ ½ ¾
[20:10] <ActionParsnip> zeleftikam: could try forcing safe vga as a boot option
[20:10] <jerry_> ZYKOTICK  I think the problem might be in a back up I have.  If I do a backup and omit my APT folder.  Then do a clean install of Pinguy will that prevent the crappy source list from copying?
[20:11] <ActionParsnip> zeleftikam: loads of people don't md5 test
[20:11] <Shimotsukei> I was wondering if anyone would be able to assist me with recovering of a hdd, a friend told me to run a live cd but didnt explain much in the way of programs for recovering it
[20:11] <LABcrab> ActionParsnip: It should be automatic!
[20:11] <ActionParsnip> Shimotsukei: try mounting it in liveCD, it may just be readable. tell your 'friend' to get a backup and they won't have an issue
[20:12] <zeleftikam> ActionParsnip, i don't think i've ever had a problem caused by "scrambled data" in a disk image download that burned and installed just fine but didn't work in some small way later. that doesn't make much sense but i guess it's possible
[20:12] <moegreen> does anybody else have an issue with a wireless keyboard not being able to f3 into a tty?
[20:12] <zykotick9> jerry_, sorry, I have no idea what Pinguy is.  Your best bet would be to backup your files and do a fresh install - and next time DON'T mix distro or version repositories!
[20:12] <ActionParsnip> LABcrab: it is if you use unetbootin to download the ISO and create live USB. Torrents also autocheck stuff too
[20:12] <zeleftikam> ActionParsnip, i think from here i have a couple options, i could clean reinstall, this time installing ssh so i can connect to it and change the setting, or install 10.04 and live with that
[20:12] <vlt> ActionParsnip: LOL 'friend'
[20:12] <ActionParsnip> zeleftikam: I can give you examples of people having bad data if you want
[20:12] <ActionParsnip> vlt: ;)
[20:12] <LABcrab> Hello!  How do i write a fraction that says one-tenth in Ubuntu?  Here: ¼ ½ ¾
[20:13] <vlt> Shimotsukei: When the hard disk has phaysical errors, I'd advise making a clone copy of it first before mounting anything.
[20:13] <Shimotsukei> im havin the issue, my friend's the one who told me to use the live cd....It's displaying the whole drive as unallocated
[20:13] <jerry_> Zykotick  Thanks  That is what I will do.  I don't know where all the mint stuff comes from.  PINGUY is a Ubuntu based Distro
[20:13] <ActionParsnip> zeleftikam: if you are installing server then lucid server is supported longer
[20:13] <zeleftikam> LABcrab, check if such a character exists in the UTF-8 character set
[20:13] <zeleftikam> ActionParsnip, yeah. i am doing a clean install to sell this machine, anyway
[20:13] <zeleftikam> it just needs to turn on properly to be sold :)
[20:14] <LABcrab> zeleftikam: Where is that?
[20:14] <zeleftikam> LABcrab, http://www.utf8-chartable.de/
[20:14] <LABcrab> zeleftikam: i get a nice box with four characters instead of my 1/10.
[20:14] <ActionParsnip> zeleftikam: that's fine, if you use lucid then the server will be supported longer than if you use natty server
[20:15] <vlt> Shimotsukei: I'd do the following: Boot a live CD (ubuntu or even better: something like grml.org), run ddrescue to another device (external hd, for example), then try to mount any file systems on the image or run tools like testdisk to recover some files ...
[20:15] <LABcrab> U+2152
[20:15] <zeleftikam> LABcrab, hmm yeah, my Mac OS X machine won't display that character either
[20:16] <Shimotsukei> testdisk didnt detect it.
[20:16] <zeleftikam> 1/3, 2/3 etc works fine, but U+2150 through 52 are boxes
[20:16] <vlt> Shimotsukei: Detect what?
[20:16] <ActionParsnip> Shimotsukei: could just use foremost on the damaged drive to possibly recover data
[20:16] <jerry_> Thanks for the Help guys .. I think I am going to do a backup without the bad files and then do a clean install
[20:16] <flametai1> urlin2u, http://pastebin.com/7V0b1XaU
[20:16] <greenit> SIFTU, well, same as with the other xorg.conf
[20:16] <Shimotsukei> foremost?
[20:16] <ActionParsnip> Shimotsukei: does:   sudo fdisk -l     show the device?
[20:16] <zeleftikam> LABcrab, i would guess that it's not a very widely supported character, can you avoid using it?
[20:16] <ActionParsnip> Shimotsukei: yes,foremost
[20:16] <zeleftikam> LABcrab, maybe try some different fonts?
[20:17] <tjiggi_fo> LABcrab, do you have a Compose Key set?
[20:17] <LABcrab> zeleftikam: Maybe.
[20:17] <Shimotsukei> yes it lists the drive
[20:17] <flametai1> urlin2u, Seems like everything is normal????
[20:17] <zeleftikam> LABcrab, i've never seen the 1/10 character on a computer screen in my life
[20:18] <ActionParsnip> Shimotsukei: then use foremost
[20:18] <Shimotsukei> but it doesnt display any of the partition
[20:18] <Shimotsukei> ok
[20:18] <guntbert> Shimotsukei: there is also a program called photorec to recover files from bad partitions
[20:18] <LABcrab> zeleftikam: What about ¹/₁₀?
[20:18] <tjiggi_fo> zeleftikam, ¹/₁₀
[20:18] <tjiggi_fo> snap
[20:18] <zeleftikam> tjiggi_fo, is that one character?
[20:18] <LABcrab> zeleftikam: Not it's three.
[20:18] <LABcrab> Or four.
[20:19] <zeleftikam> that's what i thought
[20:19] <tjiggi_fo> zeleftikam, no, it's using the compose key
[20:19] <zeleftikam> ActionParsnip, thanks for all the info and guidance. downloading 10.04 LTS now, that will probably be fine, the display worked fine with it before
[20:19] <zeleftikam> tjiggi_fo, ah
[20:19] <MetallicMonk_> Anyone here?
[20:19] <urlin2u> flametai1, that is the strangest script I have seen, is it a wubi, or did you post all of the text.
[20:20] <zeleftikam> ActionParsnip, good time to be getting rid of this HP if native support for the GPU is screwed up in new releases ;)
[20:20] <flametai1> urlin2u, posted all of the text, and no Wubi installer. It is an install from a LiveCD
[20:20] <MetallicMonk_> Anyone in the mood to help a noob? Lol
[20:21] <zeleftikam> MetallicMonk_, we'll try, ask your question
[20:21] <urlin2u> flametai1, I stumped on this one.
[20:21] <Shimotsukei> um do you have a link for foremost? or would photorec work better?
[20:21] <flametai1> I am too urlin2u, it makes no sense, it was working fine last night.
[20:21] <MetallicMonk_> Having issues with emerald, won't impliment a theme. I tried the "emerald --replace &" command that i found on forums, but it came to no avail.
[20:21] <flametai1> I suppose back to the drawing board.
[20:22] <z3r0c0d3> T
[20:22] <zykotick9> !emerald | MetallicMonk_ just for your info BUT
[20:22] <beilby> Ubuntu 11.04, have installed  Miro this has taken the default application for .torrent files, Transmission is no longer in the list, I would like to make Transmission the default application for opening .torrent files. How do I do this please?
[20:22] <MetallicMonk_> Oh, okay. Any good alternatives?
[20:23] <zykotick9> MetallicMonk_, "...There are no known, supported alternatives."
[20:23] <zeleftikam> beilby, try this
[20:23] <zeleftikam> http://linux.about.com/od/ubuntu_doc/a/ubudg10t10.htm
[20:23] <MetallicMonk_> Well, i mean, theme wise. Any other way to put themes onto kubuntu?
[20:23] <zeleftikam> beilby, this may also be helpful: https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/ubuntu-help/files-open.html
[20:23] <ActionParsnip> beilby: right click a torrent file, select 'open with' then select transmission and click to remember the association
[20:25] <beilby> yes, Transmission is not in the list unfortunately and I cannot determine where to find it in the file system
[20:25] <zeleftikam> beilby, maybe try uninstalling and reinstalling Transmission from the package manager thing
[20:25] <Glycan__> I'm fixing a box for a freind of mine, his wifi doesn't work
[20:26] <Shimotsukei> i don't quite see how to install foremost >.<
[20:26] <ActionParsnip> Shimotsukei: same as any other app you can name
[20:26] <Glycan__> Sorry
[20:27] <Citizenwarrior> I have file.txt, I want to chmos it to read only for everyone, right now it is -rwxrwxrwx therefore I have tried sudo chmod 444 file.txt and nothing changes... What am I over looking?
[20:27] <MetallicMonk_> I'll take that as a no, thanks though!
[20:27] <ActionParsnip> Citizenwarrior: who is the owner?
[20:27] <Citizenwarrior> me
[20:27] <ActionParsnip> MetallicMonk_: well done you waited 4 minutes before giving up
[20:28] <beilby> OK, have done this, it is still not in the list
[20:28] <MetallicMonk_> Haha, well, you guys seem busy, and i have google.
[20:28] <Glycan__> I need to fix wifi for my freind
[20:28] <ActionParsnip> MetallicMonk_: try waiting a little longer, or ask later
[20:28] <Citizenwarrior> ActionParsnip I created it and moved it and I am trying to chmod it all from the same session, nothing has changed
[20:28] <MetallicMonk_> Okay
[20:28] <Shimotsukei> hmm...failed to install
[20:28] <ActionParsnip> MetallicMonk_: emerald is not maintained anymore. It is not suggested to be used at all
[20:28] <zykotick9> Citizenwarrior, is the file on a FAT/NTFS partition?
[20:28] <Citizenwarrior> yes
[20:28] <[0xDEAD]> anyone know how I get the indicator-mutliload to show up in the top panel in unity?  I've added the ppa and installed it using apt-get but I'm still trying to figure out how to get it to show up.
[20:28] <ActionParsnip> Citizenwarrior: doesn't answer my question
[20:29] <zykotick9> Citizenwarrior, that's why you can't change permission then
[20:29] <ActionParsnip> zykotick9: nice catch
[20:29] <guntbert> urlin2u: about that boot info script: line 1888 contains a reference to the embedded menu, might be there was an error in creating that
[20:29] <MetallicMonk_> I've established that, question is, is there any way to put themes onto kubuntu then?
[20:29] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip, boom ;)
[20:29] <mohamed> hii
[20:29] <Citizenwarrior> zykotick9 ok if i move it to a ext3 can i change it then
[20:29] <zykotick9> Citizenwarrior, of course
[20:29] <ActionParsnip> MetallicMonk_: there are theme sites around, you can apply them using the theme manager. Its about 3 years dead now
[20:29] <Citizenwarrior> zykotick9  and then move it back
[20:30] <zykotick9> Citizenwarrior, move it back = lose all permission
[20:30] <ActionParsnip> MetallicMonk_: probably has some nasty bugs and securityholes
[20:30] <rww> Citizenwarrior: no. NTFS does not deal with UNIX permissions.
[20:30] <MetallicMonk_> Lol, so should i just say forget kubuntu, and go to ubuntu?
[20:30] <swb> hello
[20:30] <Citizenwarrior> zykotick9 rww thanks for your time
[20:31] <urlin2u> guntbert, could be I saw that.
[20:31] <ActionParsnip> MetallicMonk_: whichever you like, could try it. Both are fine, depends which apps you use more
[20:32] <beilby> Ubuntu 11.04, have installed Miro this has taken the default application for .torrent files, Transmission is no longer in the list, I would like to make Transmission the default application for opening .torrent files. How do I do this please? have tried removing app & installing again to no avail. Not sure where to point to in file sytem when choosing other...
[20:32] <tarfart> hi
[20:32] <ActionParsnip> beilby: did my suggestion work?
[20:33] <tarfart> !nvidia
[20:33] <Shimotsukei> so i tried stuff with testdisk but it
[20:33] <urlin2u> guntbert, so much is missing from the script, I would not know where to start, usualy it is a single partition error.
[20:34] <Shimotsukei> 's not detecting my hdd at all
[20:34] <beilby> actionparsnip transmission is not in the list
[20:35] <ActionParsnip> beilby: itshould list ALL apps, like in the menus and you can navigate, or you can type: /usr/bin/transmission  as the command
[20:35] <zykotick9> beilby, use the "add" button to add transmission
[20:35] <vlt> Shimotsukei: Again, the device is shown by "fdisk -l"?
[20:35] <Shimotsukei> yeah actually i just got it to show up
[20:36] <vlt> Shimotsukei: What does "blkid <device>" look like?
[20:36] <Shimotsukei> testdisk found the partitions
[20:36] <guntbert> urlin2u: the bootinfo script ended prematurely due to ${offset_menu%:*} being empty..., but I won't bother you further with that :-))
[20:37] <vooze> anyone know if its possbile to make it, so when a program is running, and i click on the icon on launcher, it minimises, like all docks? :D
[20:37] <Shimotsukei> blkid <device>?
[20:37] <mongy> vooze, thats on my wishlist too
[20:37] <Shimotsukei> sorry im really new to this ><
[20:37] <vooze> i dont understand why they did not start with that mongy :/ should be logic
[20:38] <mongy> to me and you it is, anyway
[20:38] <vlt> Shimotsukei: Replace <device> with the actual device name, without the <> brackets.
[20:38] <E3D3> I just discovered (beside Amazon in Banshee) that the default repository has commercial software. I'm sorry to tell but I'm definitly out of Ubuntu & prefer its derivates that don't beg for money. What a huge disappointment for me after all those years. Still wish those with a non-commercial Ubuntu-spirit all the best & thanks for the wonderfull years.
[20:38] <MetallicMonk_> Grr, linux is challenging.  Will those be in a different location since i'm dual booting?
[20:39] <Shimotsukei> in terminal or ? ><
[20:39] <jamesw> Help please, my Gobi mobile broadband card was working great on 11.04 x64 install, stopped working after I did updates

[20:41] <vooze> mongy: found this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/733349 ;)
[20:41] <urlin2u> guntbert, I'm glad you understand that, I under the script in some depth, but I have my limitations on errors. ;)
[20:41] <funkster> Does anyone know of a comptaible touch screen monitor for ubuntu? Googling is giving very mixed results.
[20:41] <beilby>
[20:41] <beilby> ActionParsnip 	/usr/bin/transmission-gtk worked thanks

[20:42] <Shimotsukei> oh sorry
[20:42] <mang0> G'night all!
[20:43] <UukGoblin> hi there, I'm trying to use a bluetooth headset, following instructions from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothHeadset (I have ubuntu 11.04) - I've paired up with my headset, but it doesn't show up in sound preferences, the only device I have there is my integrated sound card :-(
[20:43] <vlt> Shimotsukei: If blkid doesn't find anything then no valid file system (header) was found on the disk.
[20:43] <E3D3> mongy: I know but I have chosen to stay away from those who try, specially in my private business.
[20:43] <guntbert> mongy: ??
[20:44] <Shimotsukei> vlt:  i think i failed at trying to run it >.>
[20:44] <G00053> Shimotsukei: try sudo blkid
[20:44] <mongy> guntbert, your eye for script errors....
[20:44] <Shimotsukei> ah
[20:44] <funkster> Does anyone know of a comptaible touch screen monitor for ubuntu? Googling is giving very mixed results.
[20:44] <Shimotsukei> vlt yeah it doesnt show up
[20:45] <mongy> E3D3, I think you make a big deal of it where there is none to be made.  your choice of course.
[20:45] <Shimotsukei> vlt:  is there a way to fix that?
[20:45] <vooze> mongy: solution here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/36433/why-cant-i-use-the-unity-launcher-icon-to-minimize-applications-windows
[20:45] <ActionParsnip> !hcl |  funkster
[20:45] <jamesw> hello, I have a new dell xps my Gobi mobile broadband card was working great on 11.04 x64 install before updates, stopped working after I did updates, anyone have any ideas please?
[20:46] <guntbert> mongy: nothing special, usually i supect the last line of output from an aborted script to contain a hint to the error,....
[20:47] <mongy> vooze, nice one
[20:47] <vooze> mongy: setting up script now ;) and saving guide :D
[20:47] <vlt> Shimotsukei: I don't know whether there are tools that are able to restore file system (tables, headers or whatever). But I know that tools like testdisk and foremost will try to find anythink that looks like data files on the disk.
[20:48] <jamesw> ty for making guide vooze!
[20:48] <mongy> Im a +1 that
[20:48] <vlt> Shimotsukei: *anything
[20:48] <vooze> jamesw: was not really me ;) but your welcome for posting
[20:48] <mongy> damnit, my beautify g+ extension doesnt work right, so no +1 for any site yet.
[20:48] <Shimotsukei> vlt:  well my files are all there, now i need to figure out how to get them
[20:49] <vlt> Shimotsukei: Where are they?
[20:49] <Shimotsukei> well testdisk is seeing there is still data on them
[20:51] <yakster> hello all…
[20:51] <Shimotsukei> vlt:  is there a way to move the data off?
[20:51] <yakster> wondering if someone can help me out with a display issue….
[20:51] <E3D3> mongy: Its just that I'm used to a clean, non-commercial atmosphere. For that I have add-blockers on my web-browsers. Its scary that I now have to block parts of my personal assistant (OS). It just a matter of shifted intentions & trust. I don't want to have an shopping-mall as OS & I like to choose. I just think Ubuntu has sold it Ubuntu-soul & I don't want to be associated with that.
[20:51] <yakster> how can I make the external monitor on my laptop be primary?
[20:52] <vlt> Shimotsukei: There must be a testdisk option to tell it where to save the restored files.
[20:52] <mongy> E3D3, can of worms, open, there is... nevermind then
[20:53] <guntbert> !ot | E3D3
[20:53] <vlt> guntbert: ?
[20:53] <E3D3> mongy: Sorry to bother, I won't do it any more, Still thanks for the reply & good luck with your choices.
[20:53] <yakster> anyone? I know its xorg, but my google-foo is off today…
[20:54] <guntbert> vlt: ?
[20:54] <yakster> how can I set laptop primary display external vga
[20:54] <undecim> What's the simplest IRC server to setup?
[20:55] <guntbert> undecim: thats not really an ubuntu support question, is it?
[20:55] <UukGoblin> I'm quite confused when it comes to finding documentation for bluetooth :-( bluez's wiki is down, ubuntu's wiki stuff is sparse / out of date :-S
[20:56] <undecim> guntbert: well, assuming I want to stick with the ubuntu repos...
[20:57] <Shimotsukei> vlt:  trying to find it
[20:58] <guntbert> undecim: I'm not aware of an irc server being in the repos - but ....
[20:58] <pscmonkies> hey need some help. I have ubuntu running with windows and when i log into ubuntu, i can't access any programs in ubuntu.
[20:58] <jamesw> I have a new dell xps my Gobi mobile broadband card was working great on 11.04 x64 install before updates, stopped working after I did updates, anyone have any ideas please?
[20:59] <yakster> anyone know how to set the external display as primary display?
[21:00] <zykotick9> undecim, have you looked through "apt-cache search ircd"?
[21:02] <yakster> I guess none wants to help…. I see how it is… jk… PLEASE somone
[21:02] <alex--> I disabled the Unity plugin in compiz. How can I switch back to gnome now? (because interface is messed up now)
[21:05] <StayInSkool> hmm who was I talking to earlier about the trackpads
[21:05] <StayInSkool> gentoo_someone and someone else
[21:05] <StayInSkool> gentoo_intel
[21:05] <zykotick9> yakster, if you use nvidia it's easy, open nvidia-settings and there is a checkbox or something.  If you use another GFX card, I have no idea.
[21:05] <[0xDEAD]> anyone know how I get the indicator-mutliload to show up in the top panel in unity?  I've added the ppa and installed it using apt-get but I'm still trying to figure out how to get it to show up.
[21:06] <yakster> ok, I am using server, so no desktop manager, its an XBMC machine….
[21:06] <alex--> I disabled the Unity plugin in compiz. How can I switch back to gnome now? (because interface is messed up now)
[21:06] <StayInSkool> anyway, turns out it was an issue with ASUS G73JW's crappy bios
[21:06] <StayInSkool> and update solves the shaky erratic cursor behaviour and keyboard skipping keys
[21:06] <StayInSkool> just wanted to say thanks
[21:07] <yakster> so, manual editing is about it….
[21:08] <alex--> What's the difference between Ubuntu 10.04 and 11.04?
[21:09] <zykotick9> alex--, 10.04 is LTS, a year appart, 11.04 uses Unity
[21:09] <yakster> so…..
[21:10] <volga629> how to enable ekiga h264 ubuntu 10.10 ?
[21:10] <volga629> I looked on google, but where need take opal libraries
[21:11] <blabla> i'm using wubi, but the cpu load never goes below 5%
[21:11] <zXslhCl> alex--: you can do like this: system>>adminstrator>>login windows
[21:11] <blabla> is that cause it's wubi or?
[21:11] <jamesw> does anyone here know about mobile broadband? I have a new dell xps my Gobi mobile broadband card was working great on 11.04 x64 install before updates, stopped working after I did updates, anyone have any ideas please?
[21:12] <Kingsy_> if I have enabled my vnc server in system -> prefs -> remote desktop  how do I connect to that from another machine?  vnc local.ip ?
[21:12] <alex--> zXslhCl: what do you mean?
[21:12] <Kingsy_> heh total guess
[21:12] <alex--> zykotick9: More differences?:P
[21:12] <zykotick9> jamesw, do you get a grub menu on boot with an old kernel?  I'd try the old kernel if it's there.
[21:12] <zykotick9> alex--, all the packages will be different versions...
[21:12] <jamesw> ty i  will try that
[21:13] <jamesw> zykotick9: ^
[21:13] <volga629> <Kingsy_: ifconfig -a look for interface ip  and to connect ip:1
[21:13] <zXslhCl> alex--:change you login ""gnome classic"
[21:13] <uminvincible> I am using Ubuntu 11.04 on my Toshiba Laptop. The Bluetooth Bug has affected me as well. Sudo service bluetooth restart or killall bluetoothd , sudo bluetoothd is not working for me. This is one such fortunate time when my bluetooth is working. But if I restart it, It will stop working. Can you please suggest me any workarounds as I have only this one source of using Internet using DUN on Ubuntu.
[21:14] <alex--> zXslhCl: how can I access compiz config?
[21:14] <volga629> Kingsy_: 1 ---> it is monitor from xorg
[21:14] <alex--> fixed
[21:14] <alex--> nvm
[21:14] <volga629> 0 is default which are we using
[21:14] <alex--> :P
[21:14] <Kingsy_> volga629: hmm what do you mean?
[21:14] <Kingsy_> volga629: so the local ip is say <IP_ADDRESS> (I am connecting locally)
[21:15] <alex--> Why isn't alt + printscreen + k working anymore? :(
[21:15] <Kingsy_> <IP_ADDRESS>:1  <-- just that on the client console obviously wouldnt work
[21:15] <zXslhCl> alex--:do you have installed it?
[21:15] <jamesw> does anyone know the canonical mumble server?
[21:16] <alex--> zXslhCl: i dont know, it worked in 10.04 and 10.10
[21:16] <Kingsy_> volga629: something like --> vnc <IP_ADDRESS>:1 ?
[21:16] <volga629> Kingsy_:  Install vnc viewer on machine from which you want to connect. If you connecting local inside network you can use 192. address if it is across internet you have to use wan ip and port forward
[21:16] <rww> jamesw: yes. it's not public, iirc
[21:17] <Kingsy_> volga629: np
[21:18] <zXslhCl> alex--:oha,you can search in "Ubuntu one"
[21:18] <volga629> Kingsy_: vnc server use port 5900 == 0 monitor and so on 5901 == 1
[21:19] <volga629> how to enable ekiga h264 ubuntu 10.10 ?
[21:19] <alex--> zXslhCl: oha?
[21:20] <volga629> I looked on google, but where need take opal libraries
[21:20] <Arutha^^> I'm in the following situation : my mdadm array keeps saying it needs to be rechecked.  I comment it out of fstab (because I can't unmount it while the machine is up for some reason), reboot, fsck it (it says it modified stuff), then reboot again with it mounting.  However, as soon as it mounts back up, it complains about free block count being wrong.  My guess is a drive is slowly going out (smart on one drive
[21:20] <Arutha^^>  has huge read error rates), but I'm just making sure I'm right..
[21:20] <erfolg> Arutha^^, bad drive
[21:21] <Kingsy_> volga629: it said "unable to connect to vnc server"
[21:22] <Arutha^^> erfolg, yep, kind of what I figured... I may try to limp it along until I have a bit more cash; I have dreams of setting up a freenas box just for grins :)
[21:22] <erfolg> Arutha^^, yeah just make backups if you can and run it until it quits
[21:23] <Arutha^^> Yeah... The "bad" drive is still passing smart tests, at least.
[21:23] <erfolg> Arutha^^, that's good
[21:23] <volga629> Kingsy_: try check if vnc running open terminal: lsof +iTCP and see if have listener 590* tcp
[21:24] <Kingsy_> volga629: yup vino-serv 2821 chris   18r  IPv6  23359      0t0  TCP *:5900 (LISTEN)
[21:24] <Kingsy_> ahhh I got it
[21:24] <sshtrk> is it good idea to install unity 2d in kubuntu?
[21:24] <Kingsy_> thanks
[21:24] <jamesw> volume indicator: can i make it vertical again?
[21:25] <jamesw> vol slider control from gnome panel  i should say
[21:25] <volga629> Kingsy_: good
[21:25] <Kingsy_> volga629: thanks for the help
[21:25] <Arutha^^> Actaully, that reminds of something else... does anyone know if x11vnc changed recently?  I don't know when it started, but x11vnc -display :0 ends up putting the vnc session on 5901, not 5900
[21:25] <urlin2u> jamesw, I doubt it.
[21:26] <SIFTU> Arutha^^: is 5900 being used by something else.. goes on 5900 for me
[21:26] <Kingsy_> brb
[21:26] <jamesw> it is impossible to make the volume slider back to vertical instead of the new horizontal?
[21:27] <Arutha^^> SIFTU: netstat -l doesn't show anythign else on 5900
[21:27] <savid> Does anyone know how to fix this issue in google chrome?  http://i.imgur.com/SW9YO.png    < there are three selected items, but the hilight color is too similar to the background color to easily tell
[21:27] <Arutha^^> SIFTU: oof, I take that back... I'm lysdexic, apparently
[21:28] <Kingsy_> volga629: is it possible to get the vino server running BEFORE the user has logged in? so I can log in through the vnc server?
[21:28] <SIFTU> Arutha^^: lol
[21:29] <Viking667> I've got something slightly weird with fonts inside text windows (gedit, gvim). It is all printing out like it's representing UTF-16 (i.e. with signigficant gaps between characters). What should I be looking at?
[21:29] <Viking667> My locale is en_NZ.UTF-8
[21:29] <^lars^> hi larsduesing
[21:29] <Arutha^^> SIFTU : looks like kvm has decided it really needs localhost:5900
[21:29] <nickles> Is it possible to schedule snapraid to do a sync periodically?
[21:30] <Viking667> Ah, I seem to have corrected one thing at least.
[21:30] <volga629> Kingsy_: you mean start vnc server on boot ?
[21:30] <Arutha^^> which is odd, as I remember telling it that I didn't want it to set up vnc sessions.. My guess is some sort of update changed that.
[21:30] <Kingsy_> volga629: yeah sorry
[21:31] <jamesw> does anyone know a fix for me having to press reboot or shutdown twice? (dell xps)
[21:31] <Viking667> now there's only gvim to go.
[21:32] <volga629> Kingsy_: Check first if you have start up script fo vnc server /etc/init.d/
[21:32] <uminvincible> Hi I am sorry If I am putting this question back again, But I really do want a solution and I am a newbie to Ubuntu. "I am using Ubuntu 11.04 on my Toshiba Laptop. The Bluetooth Bug has affected me as well. Sudo service bluetooth restart or killall bluetoothd , sudo bluetoothd is not working for me. This is one such fortunate time when my bluetooth is working. But if I restart it, It will stop working. Can you please suggest me any workarounds as I
[21:32] <uminvincible>  have only this one source of using Internet using DUN on Ubuntu."
[21:33] <Kingsy_> volga629: no I don't think so, just checked and I couldnt see it
[21:33] <volga629> Kingsy_: to update start up try: sudo update-rc.d vncserver defaults
[21:34] <Kingsy_> volga629: update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/vncserver: file does not exist
[21:34] <volga629> <Kingsy_: let me see if I can find start up script for you
[21:35] <Kingsy_> coool
[21:38] <volga629> Kingsy_: grab http://pastebin.com/km6UZ2Bq
[21:39] <Kingsy_> volga629: ok .. what file does that go in?
[21:39] <uminvincible> volga629: Hi, Would it be fine If I ask for your help regarding my bluetooth problem
[21:40] <volga629> Kingsy_: copy create new file in /etc/init.d/vncserver and need adjust line USER=""  to user which you running vnc
[21:40] <volga629> <uminvincible: let try
[21:40] <adante> hi
[21:40] <Viking667> hm. I seem to have an issue when I try to use Sans for a font to render text with...
[21:40] <adante> i issued an unmount command to a twotb disk about 20 minutes ago, it has not finished yet
[21:41] <adante> is there a way i can find out what it is doing?
[21:41] <adante> i'd really like to unmount out
[21:41] <uminvincible> volga629: Thank you very much. I am affected by bluetooth bug and the icon in the tray menu is greyed out...
[21:41] <Kingsy_> volga629: ok done.. so should I just reboot?
[21:41] <uminvincible> volga629: I have tried using service bluetooth restart
[21:41] <uminvincible> but that does not work
[21:42] <volga629> Kingsy_: after you finish adjust parameters doing sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/vncsever and after adjust the rc.d
[21:42] <uminvincible> I tried other solutions accept the one that stated that I have to downgrade the Bluez package to Maverick
[21:42] <uminvincible> But I do not know how to do that...
[21:43] <owen1> i have ubuntu on mac. i can paste using a mouse but would like to do it with the touchpad(three fingers) or the keys. any tips?
[21:43] <Kingsy_> volga629: ok done that.. now reboot?
[21:43] <Kingsy_> volga629: what do you mean by adjust rc.d ?
[21:44] <volga629> uminvincible: try remove bluez and use the gnome one
[21:44] <volga629> <Kingsy_: update-rc.d vncserver defaults
[21:44] <uminvincible> volga629: Ok... I would remove Bluez and install gnome-bluetooth. Correct?
[21:45] <Kingsy_> volga629: ok done.. now just reboot?
[21:45] <volga629> uminvincible: yes I am using gnome one with my blackberry internet
[21:45] <volga629> Kingsy_: try reboot and see
[21:46] <Kingsy_> coool thanks for that
[21:46] <Kingsy_> brb
[21:46] <uminvincible> volga629: Ok perfect. I am just updating the system. I would remove Bluez and install the Gnome Bluetooth and if it works, I would be able to use internet and come here and let you know the updates...
[21:47] <Kingsy> volga629: nope that didnt work.. it just said "connection refused"
[21:48] <volga629> uminvincible: try check through apt-cache policy gnome-blu* command and see what is available
[21:48] <volga629> Kingsy_: can you see if this machine come up ?
[21:48] <volga629> and vnc running ?
[21:48] <Kingsy> volga629: what do you mean?

[21:54] <uminvincible> Gnome Bluetooth, lib-gnome bluetooth8, libgnome-bluetooth-dev, libgnome-bluetooth-dev, gnome-blog are installed among them
[21:55] <usr13> manbra: What disk utility?
[21:55] <manbra> It's just called 'Disk Utility', its the default one with 11.04
[21:55] <Kingsy> volga629: according to lsof its called vino-serv but sudo which vino-server returns nothing aswell
[21:56] <aychedee> @manbra You could try dd, totally zero out the disk. Then see if anything else works
[21:56] <volga629> <Kingsy\: let check where is installed
[21:56] <usr13> manbra: Exactly what are you trying to do?  What type of file system are you wanting to put on it?

[22:00] <meowsus> I'm trying to figure out the zip command a bit more. If i'm in ~/Desktop and i run [zip -r test.zip ../Dropbox/Some_Directory/*] why is there a "..", "Dropbox", and "Some_Directory" folder in my zip file? Is there a way to just zip those files inside the desired directory?
[22:00] <uminvincible> volga629: My net today is bit slow. Please hold... I am updating you...
[22:00] <volga629> Kingsy: just doing find /usr -name vino-*
[22:00] <quem> god damn. switched from metacity to openbox...... bliss. 4mb ram footprint instead of 650mb.
[22:00] <Kingsy> volga629: ok just done that.. it still doesnt start tho.. it says
[22:00] <ern3570> i have a problem with my ubuntu dist
[22:01] <Kingsy> volga629: Cannot open display: run vino-server --help to see a full list of available commands
[22:01] <volga629> <uminvincible: gnome-bletooth-2.32.0-0ubuntu1 look for this version
[22:02] <ern3570> i got a problem with my ubuntu dist.........when my laptop works on battery this shit be freeze
[22:02] <volga629> Kingsy: hold sec I am looking hot to start properly
[22:03] <manbra> usr13, sudo fdisk -l does not show the harddrive
[22:03] <manbra> But the harddrive is there in disk utility
[22:03] <usr13> netmind: cd ; zip -r Some_Directory.zip Desktop/Some_Directory/
[22:03] <Kingsy> volga629: np
[22:03] <manbra> sudo fdisk -l only shows the USB drive
[22:04] <usr13> martian_: If you don't see it in the output of  sudo fdisk -l   you will not be able to format it.
[22:04] <uminvincible> volga629: Please find the output here at: http://pastebin.com/HYyBgRf7
[22:04] <usr13> manbra: If you don't see it in the output of  sudo fdisk -l   you will not be able to format it.
[22:04] <meowsus> usr13, was that directed at me?
[22:05] <manbra> usr13, thanks for the help
[22:05] <usr13> meowsus: cd ; zip -r Some_Directory.zip Desktop/Some_Directory/
[22:05] <usr13> meowsus: Yes, sorry, just woke up.
[22:06] <volga629> uminvincible: I see you gnome-bluetooth installed ?
[22:07] <usr13> meowsus: If you put the * at the end, it will get the files, without the * at the end it will keep them with Some_Directory/
[22:07] <uminvincible> volga629: No, the Upgrade packages in Synaptics is still working.
[22:07] <uminvincible> So it should have already been pre installed.
[22:08] <usr13> meowsus: See:  man zip
[22:08] <meowsus> usr13, no problem. So the "cd ;" part will keep it from putting all of the subdirectories in it
[22:08] <pauloricardoas> hey have program for vnc linux?
[22:08] <volga629> <uminvincible: is service starts properly?
[22:08] <uminvincible> volga629: Actually, this has been a bug that always shows the bluetooth icon greyed out.
[22:08] <aeon-ltd> !vnc | pauloricardoas
[22:08] <volga629> Kingsy: why you stick using vino ?
[22:08] <uminvincible> Even on enabling it, it does not get enabled...
[22:09] <Kingsy> volga629: because it was already installed
[22:09] <aeon-ltd> pauloricardoas: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC/Clients https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC/Servers
[22:09] <pauloricardoas> ubottu,  thabkssss
[22:09] <pauloricardoas> thankss people
[22:10] <Kingsy> volga629: no idea how to start it?
[22:11] <volga629> Kingsy: vino server it will start only with gnome session start not before to start independently you need xvnc it vnc4server
[22:11] <usr13> meowsus: No.  The cd part will put you back in /home/meowsus and that is where Some_Directory.zip will be saved, otherwize Some_Directory.zip will be stored on ~/Desktop or where ever it was.  I was not clear on where you were because you said you were in ~/Desktop and yet your command was to run zip on ../Dropbox/Some_Directory/*  So it was the only way I could figure out how to show you a command that would work.
[22:12] <Kingsy> volga629: ah ok .. which is better?

[22:12] <Sonarpulse> I have a question about using qemu with a real (windows) partitionI have a question about using qemu with a real (windows) partition
[22:12] <Sonarpulse> I'm using Ubuntu 11.04
[22:12] <Sonarpulse> found some instructions here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/QEMU#Using_any_real_partition_as_the_single_primary_partition_of_a_hard_disk_image
[22:12] <Sonarpulse> Basically the instructions say:
[22:12] <FloodBot1> Sonarpulse: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:12] <Sonarpulse> create blank raw image for MBR
[22:12] <Sonarpulse> mount soon-to-be-MBR as loopback device
[22:13] <usr13> meowsus: It is a little difficult when using hypothetical directory paths.
[22:13] <Kingsy> volga629: that looks very very complrex
[22:13] <Kingsy> complex
[22:13] <Viking667> Sonarpulse: you're pasting too many lines at once dude. Paste your content into short number of lines (i.e. write fewer and longer lines that contain what you want to say)
[22:13] <volga629> <Kingsy: If you want we can try use vnc4server
[22:13] <dominicdinada> where is the config stored in phpmyadmin what ips are allowed to remotly access it ? i have had my ip change and all of a sudden i cant admin mysql
[22:14] <Kingsy> volga629: sure.. I will apt-get it[H
[22:14] <volga629> <Kingsy: sudo apt-get install vnc4server
[22:14] <meowsus> usr13, Sorry about that, I should have been more clear. I was actually wondering why the zip command was adding subdirectories to the zip file when I was creating it. So if i was on my Desktop and the directory i was trying to link to was, say, at ../Dropbox/Some_Directory/ then my zip file shows three directories before the files.
[22:14] <Kingsy> volga629: done
[22:14] <meowsus> So from my desktop my command would be:  zip -r test.zip ../Dropbox/Some_Directory/*
[22:15] <Kingsy> volga629: so now do I just need to change /etc/init.d/vncserver ?
[22:15] <meowsus> Inside the zip i'd get one directory called "..", one called "Dropbox", one called "Some_Directory" THEN i'd have the files inside that directory. Is there a param i can pass that will make sure that doesn't happen?
[22:15] <Viking667> Right. Can we unmute Sonarpulse now?
[22:15] <Kingsy> volga629: or can I remove that file now?
[22:16] <volga629> Kingsy: wait need first make vnc4server up and running
[22:16] <usr13> meowsus: man zip
[22:16] <meowsus> :) I'm on it
[22:16] <volga629> Kingsy: we will need anyway for startup
[22:16] <Viking667> meowsys: and you really REALLY shouldn't have a ".." entry inside your zipfile
[22:16] <Kingsy> volga629: ok, so how do I test it?
[22:17] <volga629> <Kingsy: Are log in with user which will be run vnc ?
[22:17] <meowsus> Thanks man
[22:17] <Kingsy> volga629: yup
[22:17] <Kingsy> volga629: but I want the server to be running before I am logged in
[22:17] <Kingsy> volga629: so its running from startup
[22:18] <Kingsy> so I can log in through vnc
[22:18] <Viking667> Kingsy: a question here (I've only just spotted this)
[22:18] <Viking667> How do you expect your session to be "running" before you've even logged in?
[22:18] <Kingsy> Viking667: whats up?
[22:18] <Viking667> vnc normally exports a running sessions' screen.
[22:19] <Viking667> It almost sounds like you want the VNC server to be pointed at the normal Gnome login prompt.
[22:19] <usr13> meowsus: You should  read the man file and experiment.  After reading the man file, create a directory and a subdirectory withn that directory.  cd to the diretory and copy some files into the subdirectory and paractice making a zip archive with or without the subdirectory in it.
[22:19] <Viking667> ... which will break as soon as you log in.
[22:19] <Neosano> Hello, I can't get my usb wifi adapter to work. It's "alfa network" adapter model AWUS036NHA . chipset is AR9271 atheros. When I plug it in I can see all wireless networks but could not connect :< also network manager says ATHEROS UB91C which is something wrong. help :O
[22:19] <Kingsy> Viking667: ahhh ok I see
[22:19] <volga629> Viking667: xinetd
[22:20] <Kingsy> well I was hoping to get the vnc server to be running all of time...
[22:20] <Viking667> volga629: same thing applies. If he points vnc at a gdm session, then as soon as he's entered in his name and password, the X server gets chopped off at the knees to boot a new one using the credentials, thereby breaking VNC
[22:20] <usr13> Kingsy: Jsut place the vnc server in the list of startups.
[22:21] <Dazzled> hi, is there a way to layout the top bar in Natty?
[22:21] <usr13> Kingsy: What vncserver are you using?
[22:21] <Dazzled> I want the date to be on the far right
[22:21] <Kingsy> see the goal is.. I have a wake up on lan working, so I was going to    turn the computer on with WOL, log in somehow (with ssh or vnc) then run a gnome session so I can control the GUI..
[22:21] <Kingsy> usr13: I was trying to use vino
[22:21] <Dazzled> now it's about at the 75% point
[22:21] <Viking667> I've used xdmcp before, but I wouldn't trust that outside of a local network
[22:21] <usr13> Kingsy: Sorry, I don't know about vino
[22:21] <Viking667> Kingsy: do you want to leave a session running?
[22:22] <Viking667> usr13: vino gets started on a user's login
[22:22] <Kingsy> usr13: yeah, I mean I don't need to use vino that was just the vnc server I WAS using.. I can use any

[22:23] <volga629> <Viking667: xdmcp that only one option for right now
[22:23] <Viking667> ... as do most vnc servers I've seen.
[22:23]  * Viking667 agrees with volga629
[22:23] <usr13> Viking667: Kingsy Yea, that's what I thought
[22:23] <uminvincible> volga629: Finally the Update manager installed Bluez 4.91. But I have not not restarted the system as I fear it may break my internet again....
[22:24] <Kingsy> well I am gonna run.. and do this 2morrow
[22:24] <Kingsy> thanks for the info guys.. its food for thought
[22:24] <Viking667> Kingsy: see you later.

[22:27] <Viking667> katesmith: but thanks for the heads up
[22:28] <uminvincible> volga629: Ok.. So I guess I have both.... WOuld it be fine If I remove one... I do not know how to get gnome-bluetooth running once I remove Bluez....
[22:28] <volga629> uminvincible: try remove one and use only one
[22:29] <Rallias> How do I make certain files in nautilus use certain icons?
[22:29] <volga629> uminvincible: try remove bluez
[22:29] <uminvincible> volga629: Ok... I would remove Bluez Package completely and then can you please tell me how to invoke gnome bluetooth...
[22:29] <uminvincible> Ok.. Or should I research internet?
[22:30] <volga629> uminvincible: reboot and shoulb be active after login
[22:30] <volga629> should
[22:31] <volga629> uminvincible: no :-)
[22:31] <uminvincible> volga629: Ok Perfect... I would just logoff and try to log in again... If I succeed I would be logging in here again.. Thanks for the time and help you gave.. Thank you
[22:31] <uminvincible> volga629: :)
[22:31] <volga629> <uminvincible let see
[22:32] <uminvincible> Sure
[22:33] <volga629> <uminvincible: that for info read: http://library.gnome.org/users/gnome-bluetooth/stable/gnome-bluetooth-applet.html.en
[22:33] <EzeQL2> hi
[22:36] <mali_> emr so does ubuntu in this natty thing, now use unity or G3?
[22:36] <Viking667> Unity, as far as I know.
[22:36] <mali_> and does G3 now allow for way more customisation?
[22:37] <Viking667> I dumped Unity after a month... I tried it, didn't really like it. Not as customisable as plain gnome with metacity.
[22:37] <fabianhjr__> I am trying to give a GPT format to an external drive, however it is refusing to work. It timeouts and this is the dmesg/df output I get regarding the error. http://pastebin.com/GVHtW8Rc
[22:37] <Viking667> i.e. the only place I could put launch applications was on the left panel, not on the top/bottom panels.
[22:38] <yakster> does anyone know how to make xorg make a laptops external display primary, by command line…
[22:38] <yakster> ???
[22:39] <Viking667> yakster: no idea, sorry.
[22:39] <yakster> yeah, I am not able to find anything on google…
[22:39] <fabianhjr__> yakster: A manual, sorry I have never done this: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/x-config.html
[22:40] <Polah> yakster, you'd need to edit your Xorg config file through a command line editor like vi, nano, ed or suchlike
[22:40] <yakster> yeah, I know that…
[22:40] <yakster> but what is the configuration….
[22:40] <yakster> xrandr doesn't work…
[22:40] <fabianhjr__> Regarding the formatting it is an external drive trougha USB, it works perfectly though I want to boot from it using GPT. :/
[22:40] <Viking667> uhm, of course not.
[22:40] <yakster> thing is that the display is cracked, can't see but the top left…
[22:40] <yakster> I can ssh into it though
[22:40] <volga629> xrandr --output LVDS1 --left-of VGA1
[22:41] <Neosano> yakster, have you tried arandr?
[22:41] <bluelamp> how do i get root account active in ubuntu ? i am using easypeasy . it is ubuntu based. so, i can install any ubuntu or deb package ..
[22:41] <yakster> I can FN+F8 to make it go to that desktop, but tis annoying to have to do that each time…
[22:41] <fabianhjr__> bluelamp: you can sudo and then passwd.
[22:41] <Neosano> yakster, it even allows you to save your configuration to a script so you can use it later :)
[22:41] <volga629> <yakster: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution
[22:42] <bluelamp> fabianhjr__, that will alow me to set a password for root, thus enabling me to log in as root ?
[22:42] <aerosolair_> o
[22:42] <fabianhjr__> bluelamp: yeah
[22:42] <yakster> umm k its installing now…. Thank you Apt-get
[22:42] <yakster> arandr is cli?
[22:42] <Polah> bluelamp: You shouldn't. Use sudo.
[22:43] <bluelamp> thanks fabianhjr__  .. next time i have my netbook, ill give it a go..
[22:43] <volga629> <yakster: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution
[22:43] <bluelamp> then what polah ?
[22:43] <fabianhjr__> bluelamp: you shouldn't as Polah suggests though
[22:43] <fabianhjr__> bluelamp: just do sudo [command] and input your password when needed.
[22:43] <fabianhjr__> It is a security feature affter all.
[22:44] <Polah> bluelamp: That is, you shouldn't set a password for the root account through sudo. You prepend commands with sudo to run them with higher privileges temporarily. sudo <command> and then your own password will run that command with advanced privileges
[22:44] <volga629> ekiga ubuntu how to install opal libraries for h264 ?
[22:45] <bluelamp> oh, i see. yeah, i know, root stays unused .. i would like the option to log into root on my netbook as i can my laptop though.  this is my only interest... such as when something comes up like "only root can unmount this drive" fabianhjr__ , Polah
[22:45] <Polah> bluelamp: Yes, that's what you use sudo for.
[22:45] <yakster> ok, arandr… just gives me a bunch of python script errors…
[22:46] <fabianhjr__> bluelamp: sudo umount [more]
[22:46] <Polah> bluelamp: sudo runs the command as root, providing your user account has appropriate privileges to use sudo.
[22:47] <bluelamp> ok... :) fabianhjr__ Polah , if i should never log in as root  then what is the root account for ?
[22:48] <iridium>  /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[22:48] <fabianhjr__> bluelamp: so if you get malware it will not affect others unless you provide the password.
[22:48] <qin> bluelamp: sudo -i for root shell, or install root terminal.
[22:48] <fabianhjr__> Also, it limits your destruction ability of a lot of things by making you think why your are typing your password.
[22:48] <bluelamp> oh... fabianhjr__ , i see
[22:49] <bluelamp> qin, that sounds useful, a root terminal :)
[22:49] <fabianhjr__> bluelamp: Think of VAC for WinV/Win7
[22:49] <fabianhjr__> The only thing is that sudo/su/root work and VAC doesn't.
[22:50] <MrCollins> whats the command to open a terminal window in ubuntu im trying to create a launcher
[22:50] <bluelamp> fabianhjr__, what is VAC ? i quit using windows at xp when i saw others display the waste that M$ titled vista ...
[22:50] <MrCollins> the command 'terminal' does not seem to work
[22:50] <qin> MrCollins: gnome-terminal
[22:50] <MrCollins> qin, thank you!
[22:50] <Polah> bluelamp: To provide a superuser account that has access to the entire system. For Ubuntu, it is not assigned a password for security reasons. Applications running under root have authority over the entire system and thus can affect parts of the system unhindered, not allowing general access to that prevents such problems. sudo allows you to do things with elevated privileged when you need to but you have to take specific action to do tha
[22:50] <Polah> t. If you were to generally use the root account and ran a malicious program, it could easily destroy the system whereas on a non-root account it wouldn't have high enough privileges normally
[22:51] <Neosano> MrCollins, I'm curious.. why are you creating a launcher? :D
[22:51] <bluelamp> Polah, thats nice :)
[22:51] <qin> MrCollins: Btw: Alt-Ctrl-t
[22:52] <MrCollins> qin,  thank you!!
[22:52] <Loshki> bluelamp: note also that having an account that is never allowed to login is a fairly common way of packaging things in many distros....
[22:52] <qin> Neosano: thx, my memory puzzles me sometimes
[22:52] <JoeR1> I would like to get rid of firefox and I would like to not have chromium either, how may I do this?
[22:52] <gm4486> hello
[22:52] <Polah> fabianhjr__, bluelamp: I think you mean UAC? UAC isn't that useful, it doesn't stop malware or permission elevation for malicious programs, it just inhibits users doing admin-level things. On Linux sudo allows users to run admin level things but the requirement to have appropriate permissions to actually run things as the root account temporarily stops malware and suchlike from accessing things it shouldn't. It's much more effective than
[22:52] <Polah> UAC
[22:52] <Neosano> qin, np :D
[22:52] <gm4486> just a small question
[22:53] <bluelamp> Loshki, i do not comprehend this . will you explain ?
[22:53] <Polah> JoeR1: sudo apt-get remove firefox, or sudo apt-get purge firefox. Purging will remove dpkg config files as well.
[22:53] <qin> JoeR1: sudo apt-get remove --purge (package name)
[22:53] <bluelamp> oh VAC was ment to be UAC , as in user access control .. thanks Polah
[22:53] <qwaz> what type of security is in place on a wireless network if it stops you from being able to see other computers on the wireless network with nmap. And all you can see is the router?(This is most likely the wrong irc channel but I really can't find one for this type of thing)
[22:53] <JoeR1> Polah, qin Thanks
[22:53] <gm4486> if i want to apply a static lan ip in my laptop, do i have to do this from my router or from ubuntu?
[22:54] <StevenR> gm4486: depends
[22:54] <gm4486> can u explain?
[22:54] <StevenR> gm4486: do you want the laptop to always have the same IP on that lan, or always have the same IP everywhere?
[22:55] <gm4486> on that lan
[22:55] <qin> gm4486: thechicaly, both, but router should accept valid configuration from system.
[22:55] <StevenR> on the router then
[22:55] <bluelamp> so Polah , would the root terminal qin  mentioned also provide that same limited access ?
[22:55] <mali_> gm4486: if you have a dhcp server working as your router so to speak, then it will/can assign yourlaptop a static ip , assuming you set it to receive ip from yoru dhcp server, else, set it on yourlaptop
[22:55] <Gredeu> fedora couldn't solve my samba issue.  i only got a clue that was worthless. using ubuntu again.
[22:55] <Polah> gm4486: You should be able to do it on your laptop to always request a specific IP, but you could probably set your router up to always assign the same IP to the same MAC address each time
[22:55] <padster> does anybody know how I can extract a .traineddata file?
[22:56] <JoeR1> Polah, qin  - No such luck, apt-get still insists on installing Chromium if I remove/purge Firefox or vice versa
[22:56] <padster> tesseract-ocr doesn't seem to have the command for it installed
[22:56] <bluelamp> ok, thanks fabianhjr , Polah , qin , Loshki .. im gone
[22:56] <Polah> bluelamp: I don't know about root terminal as a program, probably so much less limited than running sudo in a normal terminal. Normally you prepend your command with sudo and then enter your password, if you have privileges to use sudo, and then it runs the command as root. You can use sudo -i then enter your password to log in as the root account on that terminal if you have many commands to run as root
[22:57] <bluelamp> ok thanks Polah ...
[22:58] <Loshki> bluelamp: take a look in /etc/passwd. Any user that has /bin/false at the end of the line can't be used for login. There are lots of them e.g. saned, mysql, ntp. This limits damage in case one of them malfunctions, since you can make your files readable/writeable only by yourself  (and root)
[22:58] <bluelamp> i suspect the root terminal qin mentioned uses that tag on startup ...
[22:58] <qin> JoeR1: Yes, firefox seems to part of ubuntu-desktop
[22:59] <fbsd> hi
[22:59] <bluelamp> Loshki, sweet ... ill peek there now
[22:59] <KurinPawpad> Does anyone know of a linux alternative to the windows program Virtual Audio Cable?
[22:59] <JoeR1> qin, I detest Firefox
[22:59] <qin> JoeR1: Use Opera!
[23:00] <Loshki> bluelamp: and run 'man 5 passwd' to see all the gory details....
[23:00] <Polah> KurinPawpad: Jack
[23:01] <Polah> Loshki: Those user accounts are for daemons though, to allow restricted privilege settings
[23:01] <Neosano> hmmm, is 11.10 version going to use kernel 3.0.3?
[23:02] <KurinPawpad> Polah:  Never had any luck with Jack.  Any tutorials around for the uniniatiated?
[23:02] <Polah> KurinPawpad: Can't help you set it up but I think it's what you're looking for.
[23:02] <KurinPawpad> not looking for handholding, just a good proven tutorial
[23:03] <mali_> KurinPawpad: my experiences with Jack is to literally just google various forums, posts, issues :)
[23:03] <mali_> but someone might have an idea of more centralised documentation (eg. their website)
[23:04] <Polah> Neosano: 11.10a3 shipped with 3.0.3 I think. Final release may or may not use it depending on compatibility.
[23:04] <Polah> KurinPawpad, you could ask in #jack
[23:04] <KurinPawpad> not to say I wouldn't /like/ handholding, but I'm not asking for it.
[23:06] <iloveallOSs> I know that Ubuntu uses OpenGL, but can I use OpenGL instead of DirectX on Windows by installating a driver or what?
[23:07] <mali_> iloveallOSs:  Your gfx card drivers will implement the driver part of their openGL capabilities mate
[23:07] <Polah> iloveallOSs, More of a question for #windows, but yes OpenGL is available for Windows.
[23:08] <JoeR1> qin, Sorry I was away, I liked Opera in Windows but it was also undesirable in linux
[23:08] <Loshki> Polah: But isn't account isolation the ultimate goal, otherwise all daemons could just run as 'daemon'?
[23:08] <WaSeidel> hi I'll shot my question, I have recently installed gnome3 on ubuntu 11.04 but now I can't start graphics server and I just can start as root (sudo startx), but not as normal user (as an admin) what should I do?
[23:09] <mali_> startx should nevr really be called as root user
[23:09] <mali_> and which might screw up the X config files for normal users actually
[23:10] <WaSeidel> mali_: but that is the  only way I can start graphics server
[23:10] <uminvincible> volga629: This is serious war... The bluetooth is not working fine till I do the following. I have to start windows... Setup Bluetooth into it, While Bluetooth is functioning, I have to literally Kill Windows, then I have to log into Ubuntu and only then it will detect Bluetooth. This is Ubuntu Declaring a War on Windows.
[23:10] <mali_> hmm. try starting gdm
[23:10] <mali_> sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[23:10] <uminvincible> volga629: And on a serious note, It has not solved the problem...
[23:10] <WaSeidel> service gdm restart
[23:10] <WaSeidel> mali_: that doesn't works
[23:10] <mali_> havent used ubuntu since they did unity.. g3 aka naty but think it is under there
[23:11] <mali_> ok, what doesn't work?
[23:11] <mali_> you obviously have to kill X and do it in a console
[23:11] <mali_> I presume you did that
[23:11] <uminvincible> volga629: When I try to uninstall Bluez package, the problem is synaptic also asks me to remove gnome-bluetooth, which means it is a dependency... It probabbly wont solve this way
[23:11] <Polah> Loshki: Like I said, it allows for greater permission restrictions. For example I may want www-data for Apache to only have access to its config files and /var/www for example so it can't access anything outside of that for security purposes. However, I may want another daemon, let's say SSH to have access to the SSH config files but not the Apache config files
[23:11] <WaSeidel> sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart (obviously before start Xserver)
[23:11] <mali_> well I dont know... I left ubuntu since unity and (kinda) am notlooking back atm
[23:12] <WaSeidel> so i'll download fedora I don't like unity tanks anyway mali_
[23:13] <Loshki> Polah: ok, we're in violent agreement. What you call "restricted privilege settings" I call account isolation. Tomarto, tomayto...
[23:14] <volga629> uminvincible: can you try remove both packages and after just install form command line
[23:14] <Polah> Loshki: Well, it's isolating the account's privileges.
[23:14] <WaSeidel> even I tried to install in a virtual machine and the same with gnome3 on ubuntu 11.04 I think it was because the graphics adapter on that virtual machine
[23:15] <Polah> WaSeidel: GNOME3 doesn't work on 11.04
[23:15] <ardian> Hi is Ubuntu 10.10 still supported ?
[23:15] <Polah> ardian: Yes it is
[23:15] <volga629> uminvincible: sudo apt-get install gnome-bluetooth libgnome-bluetooth8
[23:15] <WaSeidel> Polah: i figured it out by the hard way :D
[23:15] <ardian> Polah, till when ?
[23:16] <qwaz> How do i set up a static ip address for eth0 from the command line
[23:16] <Polah> WaSeidel: It's fairly easy to revert back to GNOME2. ppa-purge removes all of the GNOME3 PPA's packages and reverts them to GNOME2, useful for a lot of people (:
[23:17] <WaSeidel> Polah: but I want Gnome 3 I'm now searching other way to have it, thanks
[23:17] <antid> hi. i have a 9.04 ubuntu cd. can i install this version and then upgrade to a latter version from it?
[23:17] <Flannel> qwaz: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/network-configuration.html#static-ip-addressing
[23:17] <spikey> test
[23:18] <Polah> ardian: I believe it's 18 months (1.5 years) for normal releases and 3 years for LTS releases on desktop. LTS server support is 5 years I think
[23:18] <spikey> see? people here... typing away...
[23:18] <ardian> Polah, aha, thank you.
[23:18] <Flannel> antid: That's old enough that it'd be worth downloading and burning a newer one (10.04 would be a good candidate)
[23:18] <wzhh> 11.04
[23:18] <spikey> Do any of you guys know of a good Paltalk alternative on Ubuntu?
[23:18] <ardian> Maverick Meerkat 10.10 will be supported until April 2012.
[23:19] <Polah> antid: Yes, although for the sake of a 600MB ISO downloading a later one and burning it to a CD or putting it on a USB may be easier than upgrading a bunch of times
[23:19] <spikey> or... is Pidgin pretty decent?
[23:19] <bvierra1> hey all, is there something like SpaceWalk (for Fedora) for Ubuntu?
[23:19] <Polah> ardian: Yes so a year and a half
[23:19] <Flannel> antid: 10.04 will be supported until April of 2012 as well, at which point you can upgrade directly to 12.04
[23:19] <Flannel> antid: Er sorry, 10.04 will be supported until April of 2013.
[23:20] <qwaz> flannel: yeah I actually just tried that before I asked and it does not work. Thanks though
[23:20] <antid> uhm so i then better burn 10.04 instead of the 11. ?
[23:20] <Flannel> qwaz: I know it works, because I've done it.
[23:20] <Polah> spikey: You may be able to run PalTalk through wine. Look at winehq's appdb
[23:20] <Flannel> antid: Right, 10.04 is LTS, so it's supported for 3 years on the desktop instead of the usual 18 months.
[23:21] <Flannel> qwaz: What part of it didn't work?
[23:21] <spikey> OK - I'll give that a shot. Thanks much, Polah.
[23:21] <Polah> antid: No, you could get the 11.04 ISO if you wanted that, get the ISO of the release you were going to upgrade to.
[23:21] <qwaz> flannel: alright ill give it another shot, lemme get back to you in 5
[23:21] <antid> ok, i will think about it
[23:22] <Loshki> antid: 10.04 has the advantage that it's an LTS, so it's generally really stable, making it the distro of choice for a newbie, IMO...
[23:23] <Polah> antid: It should take 30-45 minutes to burn and install 11.04 and however long it would take you to download the ISO depending on your internet connection. Upgrading from 9.04 throught to 11.04 would probably take several hours
[23:23] <kolix> Hi
[23:24] <kolix> does anyone know where i can do cool stuff to the ubuntu terminal?
[23:24] <kolix> sorta like kde-look?
[23:24] <kolix> make it look badass and stuff
[23:24] <Polah> kolix: What kind of "cool stuff"?
[23:25] <Loshki> spikey: poke around google. I see lots of hits for "ubuntu paltalk".   Is support for PiViTi provided in this room?
[23:25] <qwaz> flannel: Ok it did work thankyou. I was using ifconfig eth0 up and down before. Instead of using ifdown/ifup eth0 . Thanks :P
[23:26] <Flannel> qwaz: No worries.
[23:26] <Polah> kolix: Watch your language please. I don't know about doing things like that actually inside a GNOME terminal
[23:26] <kolix> ok
[23:26] <kolix> what stuff do you usally monitor when you're running a server?
[23:26] <Polah> kolix: You can get programs that show graphs and whatnot like that on panels though
[23:26] <ksx4system> what can cause random GNOME session restarts on 11.04?
[23:26] <lancerforhire> pitivi*
[23:27] <Polah> kolix: Network throughput, network connections memory usage, processor usage, running processes (as few as possible)
[23:27] <Polah> lancerforhire: If it's on Ubuntu, yes
[23:27] <ksx4system> it drives me mad, i simply leave my desktop 24/7 on and then come back to see... login screen. wtf?
[23:27] <lancerforhire> Polah: It is.  But the help screen looked so generic I wasn't sure.
[23:27] <Polah> lancerforhire, then we can probably help you
[23:28] <qwaz> flannel: do you have any experience with ubuntu not connecting to a wep network? Even though connecting to unecrypted networks is fine?
[23:28] <lancerforhire> How do I freeze the video track at a certain point until a certain time is elapsed?  I want it to display something and hold that until the right time in the audio track.
[23:28] <kolix> Polah, thank you
[23:29] <kolix> is there anyone to change the look and feel of the winowing system
[23:29] <Grim147> how is unity with fglrx ?
[23:29] <Polah> kolix: Many, I'm sure some people can tell you a few
[23:29] <kolix> Polah, how do i echo those things in the terminal?
[23:31] <Polah> kolix: the top command will show you running processes, memory usage and processor usage, ifstat can tell you network throughput. I don't know about number of active connections in a terminal though. You could probably find a program that would list multiple things like that
[23:31] <Loshki> lancerforhire: also try #pitivi
[23:31] <yakster> anyone know how to disable the lcd of a laptop and make the external primary?
[23:31] <yakster> nvidia btw…
[23:31] <lancerforhire> Loshki: I think #pitivi is dead :(
[23:31] <ksx4system> one more time: what can cause random GNOME session restarts on 11.04?
[23:32] <qin> kolix: htop, iftop, iotop
[23:32] <yakster> is it gnome restarting, or x?
[23:34] <ksx4system> yakster: i have no idea, i never saw the moment when it crashes. i go somewhere, then come back and i see GDM instead of GNOME's desktop
[23:35] <qin> ksx4system: less /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[23:35] <qin> ksx4system: Also syslog and messages and kern.log
[23:35] <kolix> qin, Polah: thanks guys
[23:36] <xxxxx> d
[23:37] <Loshki> lancerforhire: In the tiny groups (#pitivi has 25 users, #ubuntu has 1400) you don't get instant turnaround. It can take a day (or two) until someone checks in...
[23:38] <lancerforhire> Oh... xD
[23:39] <ksx4system> qin: 1024 last lines of these three files: http://wklej.org/hash/ac1e04cfc73/txt/
[23:39] <ksx4system> qin: Xorg.0.log first, kern.log second and syslog is the last
[23:40] <qwaz> what type of security is in place on a wireless network if it stops you from being able to see other computers on the wireless network with nmap. And all you can see is the router?(This is most likely the wrong irc channel but I really can't find one for this type of thing)
[23:41] <elrond> hi
[23:42] <kolix> anybody know how i can get these counters in this screenshot in the bottom right hand corner?
[23:42] <kolix> http://ubuntu-art.org/content/show.php/Wallpaper?content=63675
[23:43] <elrond> alguien sabe como puedo añadir un servidor hispano?
[23:43] <Polah> !es | elrond
[23:44] <Hasham> hi..i have come to know that ubuntu 11.10 has no classic DE option
[23:44] <elrond> gracias
[23:45] <Lasers> Hasham: Correct.
[23:46] <Hasham> Lasers,  so unity only..?
[23:47] <Lasers> Hasham: Yes, Unity (or Unity 2D for slower machines). If you don't like it, consider looking at alternatives.
[23:48] <Hasham> Lasers,  i knid of like it despite its bugs . but there should be an option of gnome 3
[23:50] <Lasers> Hasham: That's not in the plan. Ubuntu created Unity. Gnome create Gnome3. You can try Gnome3 using PPA or different distro.
[23:50] <Lasers> !gnome3 | Hasham
[23:50] <jerriy1> Help
[23:50] <ksx4system> because lack of reply, one more time: what can cause random GNOME session restarts on 11.04?
[23:50] <jerriy1> I got a zombie
[23:52] <jerriy1> Today in "system process" I discovered an up until now non existant thing: "firefox bin status ZOMBIE"
[23:52] <Hasham> ubottu,  why cononical is pushing so hard towards unity
[23:52] <jerriy1> Zombie is slowing my browser TENFOLD
[23:53] <qwaz> jerriy1: Sorry I cant help, but what is a zombie in your case?
[23:54] <Lasers> jerriy1: Reboot will kill all zombies.
[23:56] <jerriy1> Lasers: done that shutdown reboot no change (everytime I start firefox the zombie rears it's ugly head (it sure is living up to it's "zombie" name :P
[23:56] <Lasers> jerriy1: Ah. I don't know about it. I personally haven't used Firefox since I made the switch to chromium.
[23:56] <dagmowi> anyone know if mouse gestures can be set for work spaces like os x and gnome 3?
[23:57] <jerriy1> I've got chromium but I use ff as "main"
[23:58] <volga629> how to resolve dependency problem when install ffmpeg on ubuntu 10.10 ?
[23:59] <tikiking1> is there any persistent alternative to "sudo setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=00" for no backlight on laptops
[23:59] <watchedman> hey folks, I'm trying to do an alternate install of 11.04 (for Ubuntu Studio) and was able to get through base system installation but the installer seems to have stalled at "Configure the package manager." Any ideas as to why that would be happening?
