[00:00] <mecheese> edbian yes i do have a xorg.conf. the display works in recovery mode if your talking about from the cd.
[00:01] <edbian> mecheese: the liveCD is NOT recovery mode :)  We need to remove xorg.conf (change it to backup.xorg.conf at least)
[00:01] <edbian> mecheese: Do you know how to do that from a liveCD or should I guide you?
[00:02] <mecheese> edbian done
[00:02] <edbian> mecheese: reboot
[00:03] <mecheese> edbian ok
[00:03] <edbian> mecheese: You edited the xorg.conf on the install and not on the liveCD right?
[00:05] <lwizardl> hello
[00:05] <yaaase> hi there
[00:05] <edbian> hi
[00:06] <lwizardl> anyone know what is a good nvidia card for displaying on a hdtv via component
[00:06] <szal> lwizardl: -> either #ubuntu-offtopic or ##hardware
[00:06] <subminuentisch> has anyone a clue on removing the proxy for apt
[00:07] <yaaase> I had a question.  I am running ubuntu 11.04, x64.  Using VGA to double output to my tv (lcd).  The scaling is wrong on the tv output, the top and left areas of the screen get cut off.  Anyone know how to tell the system to measure the screen from the 2nd monitor rather than from the primary?
[00:07] <ronqbc> i'm tryinh to open the running evulution that won't pop up. why?
[00:08] <szal> yaaase: use either a digital cable or, if applicable, the TV's auto-adjust feature
[00:08] <yaaase> szal thank you
[00:08] <szal> (TFT monitors have that, I'd be damned if TV sets didn't)
[00:09] <mecheese> lol no x
[00:09] <Nisstyre> yes
[00:10] <scoundrel50a> Hi, I was just wondering, what is the next version of Thunderbird, above 3.1.11, I think I got version 5 off Mozilla, it was a zip file, but it does show you how to install it. How do I install it?
[00:10] <mecheese> no x at all
[00:11] <sudokill> mecheese, did you upgrade ubuntu or something?
[00:11] <kroq-gar78> scoundrel50a: did you donwload a tar.gz file from mozilla.org (or something like the website)
[00:11] <mecheese> i renamed my xorg.conf and now x doesn't start
[00:11] <mecheese> sudokill I'm using lucid
[00:11] <scoundrel50a> From Mozilla
[00:11] <sudokill> mecheese, why rename xorg.conf
[00:11] <scoundrel50a> and yes it was a tar.gz file
[00:11] <mecheese> i tried upgrading and went back to lucid that's how it all started
[00:11] <kroq-gar78> scoundrel50a: do you HAVE to uswe the version from mozilla, or do you just want thunderbird 5?
[00:12] <edbian> sudokill: He had some legacy one.  I told him to remove it for a bit.
[00:12] <sudokill> oh ok
[00:12] <edbian> mecheese: what happens when you boot?
[00:12] <sudokill> mecheese, is it even possible to go back a version?
[00:12] <mecheese> edbian i did it now x doesn't run at all
[00:12] <edbian> mecheese: What happens when you boot?
[00:12] <scoundrel50a> kroq-gar78: I wante to try version 5,
[00:12] <mecheese> sudokill I have the disk for lucid
[00:12] <scoundrel50a> kroq-gar78: I have the file on my desktop
[00:13] <mecheese> edbian no x
[00:13] <sudokill> mecheese, s its a clean install?
[00:13] <szal> mecheese, edbian: no surprises here, since part of the process of installing the nVidia driver is blacklisting nouveau
[00:13] <edbian> mecheese: I know that.  What do you see?
[00:13] <scoundrel50a> but what I do with it, I dont know
[00:13] <edbian> szal: We didn't install the nvidia driver
[00:13] <szal> edbian: iirc, we did that yesterday
[00:13] <edbian> szal: He says he's using nouveau
[00:13] <kroq-gar78> scoundrel50a: ok open up a terminal and run the following command "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/thunderbird-stable"
[00:13] <mecheese> sudokill it's clean with a neuveau nvidia driver too
[00:13] <phretor> what is the proper way for flashing a SATA PCIe card BIOS? I've used a USB FreeDOS boot disk and the flash utility provided by the vendor, but the version of the BIOS on the SATA card doesn't actualy upgrade. Any idea why?
[00:14] <sudokill> nouveau doesnt even need xorg.conf does it?
[00:14] <mecheese> edbian i see a full screen terminal
[00:14] <phretor> the card in question is a JMB363
[00:14] <edbian> mecheese: can you run startx ?
[00:14] <cyperbg> edbian, it's currently installing and hopefully there will no problems :) Fingers crossed :)
[00:14] <ronqbc> i'm tryinh to open the running evulution that won't pop up. why?
[00:14] <edbian> cyperbg: :D
[00:14] <kroq-gar78> scoundrel50a: it's safer (as in more stable probably) to get it from the ubuntu guys who did a few modifications to thunderbird and get auto-updates than get it from mozilla
[00:14] <graalgonstruckt> I was wondering if anyone would be able to assist me to adding a radio station to banshee on ubuntu.
[00:14] <edbian> sudokill: That's why I had him remove it
[00:14] <szal> phretor: not a *buntu problem; ask in #ubuntu-offtopic or in ##hardware
[00:14] <sudokill> mecheese, if its very clean install, if i was you id try another re-install might be quicker
[00:14] <mecheese> edbian I don't know haven't tried it yet
[00:14] <edbian> mecheese: try it
[00:15] <kroq-gar78> graagonstruckt: go to the menu, then do File -> Add radio statino
[00:15] <scoundrel50a> kroq-gar78: I just did that, what next?
[00:15] <mecheese> sudokill it would be the 6 or 7th reinstall
[00:15] <sudokill> ok
[00:15] <kroq-gar78> scoundrel50a: then "sudo apt-get update"
[00:15] <edbian> mecheese: run startx
[00:15] <sudokill> mecheese, :s no idea why it shouldnt work out the box
[00:15] <mecheese> sudokill i'm very persistant
[00:15] <Guest87903> I try too install Backtrack on my LUbuntu 10.10, anyone can help me??
[00:16] <sudokill> backtrack is offtopic
[00:16] <sudokill> afaik
[00:16] <kroq-gar78> scoundrel50a: then, once that's finished, run "sudo apt-get upgrade"
[00:16] <ActionParsnip> Guest87903: ask in the backtrack channel
[00:16] <sudokill> Guest87903, but,  what do you mean install backtrack IN lubuntu?
[00:16] <mecheese> sudokill ya. the screen just goes "signal out of range" and I jump through hoops to get graphics.
[00:16] <kroq-gar78> scoundrel50a: and then you should have it installed
[00:16] <edbian> mecheese: run startx
[00:16] <Guest87903> sudokill: i mean install BT software
[00:16] <edbian> mecheese: What happens if you run startx
[00:16] <Guest87903> ActionParsnip: Okk sorry
[00:17] <mecheese> edbian I'm about to see.
[00:17] <sudokill> Guest87903, afaik a lot of the software isnt in the repos and youd have to compile from source. ask in backtrack or juts google it
[00:17] <scoundrel50a> kroq-gar78: ok,l its going the the upgrade now
[00:17] <kroq-gar78> scoundrel50a: cool just post back if any sort of problems, etc.
[00:17] <Guest87903> sudokill: Okk
[00:18] <scoundrel50a> kroq-gar78: ooh, that looks interesting.......I will let you know how I get on
[00:18] <scoundrel50a> thank you
[00:19] <scoundrel50a> going to have a play with it now
[00:20] <Guest87903> When I start a Game like Airstrike and all my screen turn to black and everything close...is it my graphic card the problem or my Computers? (ThinkPad T23)
[00:20] <sudokill> Guest87903, hard to tell
[00:20] <JohnyMnemonic> please please i make blowjob if sm1 teach me how to install spidermonkey C lib
[00:20] <sudokill> JohnyMnemonic, promise?
[00:20] <DrDeeps> any fast ways to remove the games in Ubuntu
[00:20] <DrDeeps> they're annoying me
[00:20] <bazhang> sudokill, last warning
[00:21] <sudokill> bazhang, wasnt me that said it..
[00:21] <the[void]> anyone have issues with ubuntu minimal cds not downloading, despite getting an ip fine via dhcp?
[00:21] <ActionParsnip> DrDeeps: remove gnomine quadrapassel gnome-mahjong gnome-sudoku aislerot
[00:21] <DrDeeps> thank you ActionParsnip
[00:21] <ActionParsnip> DrDeeps: I always remove them after a clean install
[00:21]  * NEWSFLASH JUSTIN BIEBER DEAD http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2rgkSW_wRA
[00:21] <ActionParsnip> DrDeeps: spelling may be out but you get the idea
[00:22] <DrDeeps> got it
[00:22]  * edbian test
[00:22] <rhin0> just had something bizarre happen -- software update (update manager) -- just asked for grub menu generation -- what is that? - - never seen an update ask for confirmation on anything didn't know it did
[00:22] <DrDeeps> decided to purge them instead of remove
[00:23] <DrDeeps> aislerot won't disappear
[00:23] <DrDeeps> ah
[00:23] <DrDeeps> spelled wrong derp
[00:25] <mecheese> i estimate nearly a 100 hours working on this.
[00:25] <mecheese> 3 weeks of reinstalls and popping the disk back in and reinstalling xchat
[00:26] <mecheese> I'm tired
[00:26] <mixmasterxp> I'm trying to dual boot windows 7 and ubunto 11.4. I have already installed windows 7 and created the following partitions: C: NTFS for windows, D: NTFS for ubunto, E: NTFS for swap and G: NTFS for storage
[00:26] <mecheese> you're getting to know me
[00:26] <mixmasterxp> but I'm currently on ubunto now and I only see sections
[00:26] <bazhang> mixmasterxp, theres not a ntfs for swap or ubuntu
[00:27] <bazhang> mixmasterxp, are you perhaps installing ubuntu from within windows, aka wubi
[00:27] <mecheese> ok. so startx generated errors about things like screen not existing
[00:27] <bazhang> !away > xindzz`off
[00:28] <bazhang> !manual | mixmasterxp please have a read
[00:28] <bazhang> !wubi > mixmasterxp
[00:28] <mecheese> my indurence for ubuntu is waning
[00:29] <edbian> mecheese: What happened with startx ?
[00:30] <mecheese> maybe I farted wrong and my graphics card couldn't  handle it edbian startx generated warnings about missing things like no screen
[00:30] <edbian> mecheese: Mmm, I'm not sure anymore
[00:31] <fishscene> greetings! I'm using centrify-express to integrate with Windows AD. I installed virtualbox in Ubuntu 10.04LTS and virtualbox is reporting I am not able to use USB because I'm not part of the "vboxusers" group. Does anyone know how to solve this?
[00:31] <mecheese> edbian neither am i. I remember using some one line command to get it to work last time i needed to fix it. i think maybe lucid just worked. the previous versions were giving trouble like now.
[00:31] <sharpobject> what's the preferred way to install packages that require later versions of libc6?
[00:32] <mecheese> edbian wait maybe if I install the driver before I update. I forgot I updated.
[00:32] <mixmasterxp> bazhang: does wubi come with the 11.4 iso or am I going to have to re-download the whole thing?
[00:33] <mecheese> edbian I had thought that lucid worked for nvidia right after the install.
[00:33] <edbian> mecheese: I don't know.
[00:33] <mecheese> maybe updates are making things hell in there.
[00:33] <mecheese> edbian i don't know either. I know i'm about to shoot my ubuntu disk.
[00:34] <mecheese> lol
[00:34] <edbian> :)
[00:34] <mecheese> we see if something works argggghhhh
[00:35] <goetter> is there a way to ssh into a machine, and launch an application on the local display?
[00:35] <mecheese> where does firefox keep it's bookmarks so I can backem up?
[00:36] <edbian> mecheese: There is an export tool or you can just save the whole .mozilla forlder
[00:36] <BluesKaj> goetter, yes ssh -X use@remotehst
[00:36] <BluesKaj> user
[00:36] <mecheese> edbian can't use export tool with no x so I'll find that .mozilla
[00:36] <edbian> mecheese: /home/you/.mozilla
[00:37] <goetter> BluesKaj: I'm interested in manipulating the X display that is already locally running, to launch another application in it.
[00:37] <goetter> I don't want X forwarding
[00:37] <Jordan_U> goetter: Yes. So by local you mean the display physically connected to the remote machine?
[00:37] <goetter> Right.
[00:38] <Jordan_U> goetter: export DISPLAY=:0.0
[00:38] <_grAnd__> hi
[00:38] <BluesKaj> then that's the remote display
[00:38] <goetter> Yeah, sorry.
[00:38] <ampletime> :(
[00:38] <goetter> Is there a way to get a list of active X displays and what is running inside them, to be sure I have the correct display identifier?
[00:38] <Jordan_U> goetter: After that all commands will use the physicaly attached display.
[00:39] <_grAnd__> anyone can tell me what country is this channel?
[00:39] <Jordan_U> _grAnd__: This channel is international, though English language only.
[00:39] <sharpobject> is there a way to install packages that require later versions of libc6?
[00:40] <BluesKaj> worldwide, but the language is english, _grAnd__
[00:40] <ActionParsnip> _grAnd__: english is the language of the channel
[00:40] <_grAnd__> ok
[00:40] <KSHawkEye> Does anyone know how I can force a command line option to not be used with cflags when compiling with GCC? such as -mno-cygwin?
[00:41] <_grAnd__> thanks
[00:41] <fishscene> I'm using centrify-express to integrate with Windows AD. I installed virtualbox in Ubuntu 10.04LTS and virtualbox is reporting I am not able to use USB because I'm not part of the "vboxusers" group. Does anyone know how to solve this?
[00:42] <Gskellig> believe it or not
[00:42] <DrDeeps> i love being yelled at for using Ubuntu over any other distro
[00:42] <DrDeeps> "WHY DON'T YOU USE ARCH?! noob"
[00:42] <Gskellig> getting network printing setup is actually easier on ubuntu that on windows for me
[00:42] <Gskellig> amazing
[00:42] <mosx1> ok, who can help me out here...big time. My ssh server just died on me as did my vnc server
[00:42] <mosx1> I have one remaining session on ssh still active
[00:43] <mosx1> don't want to reboot
[00:43] <mosx1> have restarted both services but cannot connect to either
[00:43] <Gskellig> mosx1, check ports
[00:43] <_grAnd__> I'm from Spain and entered into this server because the IRC-Hispano is impossible to enter
[00:43] <mosx1> port 22 is closed
[00:44] <cyperbg1> edbian: The Installer crashed. First time I see this :(
[00:44] <gold_C> ya somos 2
[00:44] <cyperbg1> so I have to do it again
[00:44] <StaticElectricit> Hi, I need some help with intel drivers, I'd ask on #intel-gfx, but I am banned for some reason despite never being on there before.
[00:44] <edbian> cyperbg1: who far did it get?
[00:44] <mixmasterxp> When using wubi, installing ubuntu as an app, do I need to set swap partitions, etc?
[00:44] <gold_C> _grAnd__,  me pasa igual
[00:44] <edbian> how*
[00:44] <bazhang> _grAnd__, /join #ubuntu-es
[00:44] <_grAnd__> «[gold_C]» algun problema habrá
[00:44] <gold_C> si
[00:44] <sharpobject> is there a way to install packages that require later versions of libc6?
[00:44] <gold_C> el servidor seguramente
[00:44] <edbian> mixmasterxp: I believe wubi handles everything for you.
[00:44] <bazhang> gold_C, english here
[00:44] <dli> mosx1, can you restart ssh server?
[00:44] <gold_C> ok sry guys
[00:45] <dli> sharperguy, yes, chroot
[00:45] <mosx1> am trying sudo service ssh start
[00:45] <fjorgynn> democracy?
[00:45] <mosx1> the port remains closed
[00:45] <dli> sharperguy, or even virtual machine
[00:45] <bazhang> StaticElectricit, intel drivers for ubuntu?
[00:45] <StaticElectricit> Mint actually, but yeah
[00:45] <mosx1> ssh stop/pre-start, process 2789
[00:45] <bazhang> StaticElectricit, MINT is not ubuntu.
[00:46] <StaticElectricit> It is close
[00:46] <cyperbg1> edbian: alsmost at the end. The status was Installing File system I think. It's been like 30 minutes.
[00:46] <bazhang> StaticElectricit, check the mint support channel
[00:46] <IdleOne> not close enough
[00:46] <dli> mosx1, works?
[00:46] <bazhang> !mintsupport > StaticElectricit
[00:46] <rww> StaticElectricit: #ubuntu only supports Ubuntu and official derivatives.
[00:46] <Fudge> hi using hamachi cli and am logged in, im using a 192.169.-.2 ip with 255.0 netmask trying to figure out how to browse the computer at <IP_ADDRESS>
[00:46] <cyperbg1> edbian could it be because there was no parition on the drive? I expected the Installer to create it.
[00:46] <edbian> cyperbg1: Ok. yeah try it again
[00:46] <Fudge> oope <IP_ADDRESS>
[00:46] <edbian> cyperbg1: If you choose 'use entire drive' it will create partitions for you
[00:46] <fjorgynn> <IP_ADDRESS> try to connect to my server
[00:46] <fjorgynn> xD
[00:47] <bazhang> fjorgynn, please dont
[00:47] <IdleOne> fjorgynn: Do you have an Ubuntu support question?
[00:47] <cyperbg1> edbian that's what I chose :)
[00:47] <mosx1> no, port remains closed
[00:47] <edbian> cyperbg1: Not sure why it crashed.  Re-create the USB ?
[00:48] <cyperbg1> edbian I just deleted all the partition and will leave it in the same state as before.
[00:48] <edbian> cyperbg1: sounds great
[00:48] <StaticElectricit> I just needed help with glxproto.h :(
[00:49] <fjorgynn> lol
[00:51] <shockrates> hey how can i find what is the name of my laptops wifi device?
[00:51] <mosx1> sudo service ssh start
[00:51] <mosx1> that is the right command to start it right ?
[00:51] <edbian> shockrates: sudo lspci -k   will list it
[00:52] <ActionParsnip> shockrates: sudo lshw -C network
[00:52] <edbian> lspci!
[00:53] <fishscene> nvm! turns out I needed to recompile the vbox kernel driver (silly me), I forgot I had updated to the newest Kernel 2 hours ago..
[00:53] <fjorgynn> lol
[00:53] <gnaddel> Hi there, I've got a little problem permanently disabling my optical out, I can do it manually by "amixer set IEC 958 off" but would like to do it automatically on boot
[00:54] <mosx1> what cli command starts ssh service ?
[00:54] <edbian> gnaddel: But that line at the end of /etc/rc.local
[00:54] <edbian> gnaddel: before the 'exit 0'
[00:54] <gnaddel> I've tried to add the line to /etc/rc.local but that doesn't seem to work edbian
[00:54] <dli> gnaddel, can you disable it in BIOS?
[00:54] <edbian> gnaddel: It should... ?
[00:54] <cyperbg1> edbian: so I choose Erase disk and Install Ubuntu and on the next step I select it says The entire disk will be used but below that it also says: 1 partition will be deleted. Why?
[00:55] <edbian> cyperbg1: The partition left from the last failed install.
[00:55] <cyperbg1> I deleted everything after the fail attempt
[00:55] <edbian> cyperbg1: Use gparted on the liveCD to get a look if you want.
[00:55] <cyperbg1> I used it
[00:55] <gnaddel> edbian, yeah that what google told me, doesn't work though ;)
[00:55] <edbian> cyperbg1: Look at it in gparted?  Does it say 'unallocated' ?
[00:55] <cyperbg1> yes
[00:55] <edbian> cyperbg1: then IDK.  Are you installing it to the wrong HDD ?
[00:55] <cyperbg1> I deleted all the partitions after the fail attemmp
[00:56] <cyperbg1> nope
[00:56] <gnaddel> Don't think I can disable it in the macbooks efi (or whatever the bios replacement is properly called)
[00:56] <edbian> cyperbg1: IDK
[00:56] <cyperbg1> th Installer have inbuilt parition tool
[00:56] <cyperbg1> if I select it there are no partitions
[00:56] <cyperbg1> but it still says 1 will be deleted
[00:56] <edbian> cyperbg1: IDK.  strange
[00:56] <gnaddel> could it be that the device gets somehow reactivated on login?
[00:56] <dli> gnaddel, or you can choose to blacklist the kernel driver
[00:57] <cyperbg1> the Advanced Partition tool says: Device: dev/sdb Free space 7790
[00:57] <edbian> gnaddel: Maybe, but I don't that that would happen after the script.
[00:57] <cyperbg1> and there is only 1 active button: New partition table
[00:58] <edbian> cyperbg1: It's probably just a bug.
[00:58] <vibhav> mixmasterxp no
[00:58] <cyperbg1> ok I will continie
[00:58] <gnaddel> dli, i think that would be a little bit extreme, I still want to be able to use it when I need it
[00:59] <bazhang> vibhav, pardon?
[00:59] <vibhav> oh never mind
[00:59] <sloale> how do i determine the ip address of a shared computer via wired connection with Ubuntu Internet Connection Sharing from WLAN host? i am headless, with GUI display.
[01:00] <sloale> ^and ssh'd into the host
[01:00] <gnaddel> ahh..... here we go
[01:01] <gnaddel> I wrote iec958 instead of IEC* in the script
[01:01] <vibhav> !ot | gna
[01:01] <vibhav> !ot | gnaddel
[01:02] <dli> sloale, more details, better with specific IP, etc.
[01:02] <gnaddel> thanks for the help guys, bb
[01:04] <sloale> i am ssh'd into a box that which is connected to the internet via a wireless card. another box is sharing the Internet connection via a wired connection
[01:04] <sloale> i know it's ip falls in the range i see when passing `ifconfig`
[01:04] <sloale> but i don't know the specific ip and would like to learn
[01:06] <sloale> in my specific case `ifconfig` returns inet addr:<IP_ADDRESS> so i know it's in that range. but can i determine specifically what the ip of a shared wired connection would be when on the host computer?
[01:11] <wasutton3> i am running grub2 and trying to boot windows server2003. when i try to boot from the entry, all i get is an empty line and a blinking cursor. does anyone know why or how to fix this?
[01:11] <stunts513> Could someone remind me the force acpi on boot command
[01:11] <edbian> wasutton3: boot ubuntu and run: sudo update-grub
[01:12] <wasutton3> edbian, grub is actually installed on the ntfs partition
[01:12] <thehelix> hey
[01:12] <brodock> anyone knows when gnome-shell will be updated on oneric?
[01:12] <edbian> wasutton3: ... grub is installed in windows?
[01:12] <bazhang> brodock, #ubuntu+1 for that
[01:13] <brodock> bazhang: thanks
[01:13] <thehelix> so, i dunno if this is ubuntu people, but what the _fuck_ is up with the new gcalc?
[01:13] <thehelix> its a total piece of shit
[01:13] <bazhang> thehelix, no cursing here
[01:13] <thehelix> it went from being useful, and able to be used entirely from the keyboard
[01:14] <thehelix> to a complete waste of space
[01:14] <stunts513> Ok I have a problem with ubuntu and my gfx card, or possibly my southbridge
[01:14] <thehelix> whose brilliant bloody idea was that rewrite?
[01:14] <thehelix> christ
[01:14] <bazhang> thehelix, thats enough

[01:14] <thehelix> its just incredibly frustrating to have a good tool totally clobbered
[01:15] <gekken> @stunts513 - What's the problem?
[01:15] <dli> sloale, I can not understand which computer is which from your description
[01:15] <komodiemo> hi
[01:16] <akom> hello
[01:16] <stunts513> Sry bou that
[01:16] <stunts513> He left didn't he
[01:16] <stunts513> I'm on iPod and the app crashed
[01:17] <sloale> dli: the wlan host is box1 the wired guest is box2 - can i pass a command on box1 to determine the wired connections (box2's)ip?
[01:17] <komodiemo> somebody  that speak spanish?
[01:17] <Mixmasterxp> So I cant use wubi, I'm setting up the partitions myself
[01:17] <bazhang> komodiemo, in #ubuntu-es
[01:17] <stunts513> I have problem with ubuntu and my gfx card or possibly southbridge
[01:17] <Mixmasterxp> but I'm only allowed 4 primary partitions
[01:17] <Mixmasterxp> I want to install ubuntu and windows and also have a storage partition. I currently have 3 primary partitions; 1mb for system reserved, 100mb for some windows thing and 200gb for windows
[01:17] <Mixmasterxp> I want to make another partition for ubuntu, but I also need to make 2 other partitions; for swap and for storage
[01:17] <Mixmasterxp> how do I handle a situation like this?
[01:18] <bazhang> stunts513, more details would get a better answer
[01:18] <Mixmasterxp> Can I delete the 1mb partition labeled as SYSTEM RESERVED?
[01:18] <dli> sloale, usually, it's not a problem, the wired one is handled by dhcp or static IP
[01:18] <Mixmasterxp> there is no flag on it that states it to be of type BOOT
[01:19] <stunts513> Ok if I Try to boot from cd, the graphic card goes way outta refresh rate range and screen starts flickering b4 any text comes up about the boot or a bootscreen
[01:19] <dli> sloale, if you still have no idea, do something like 'ip add list', it display a list containing wired IP, netmask, you can ping within that subnet
[01:20] <stunts513> And now iy seems like it locked up caus not even the numlock is responding
[01:20] <szal> Mixmasterxp: why not make an extended partition & put some partitions on it?  *buntu shouldn't have a problem booting from tha
[01:20] <szal> t
[01:20] <dli> sloale, or, do something like: netstat -n|less
[01:22] <dli> stunts513, if you know your video card, try to disable Kernel Mode setting from kernel cmdline
[01:22] <nitrohax> how would one delete a partition and then expand the existing ext4 partition?
[01:22] <stunts513> It's a chips and tech gfx card
[01:22] <bazhang> nitrohax, with gparted, or gparted live cd
[01:22] <stunts513> It's odd cause debian runs fine
[01:22] <Clouse> Hi there all just started to try Evolution instead of Thunderbird and I use IMAP with Gmail and when I click on an email I get this error message; Unable to retrieve message
[01:22] <Clouse> Could not find message body in FETCH response.
[01:23] <nitrohax> tried that. won't let me make the existing ext4 bigger. is there something i'm missing?
[01:23] <dli> stunts513, do you use KMS in debian?
[01:23] <komodiemo> spanish?
[01:23] <bazhang> nitrohax, its still mounted?
[01:23] <mosx1> seriously. this is getting to me now. I want to add a new user from the desktop gui in 11.04
[01:23] <bazhang> komodiemo, #ubuntu-es   <-----
[01:23] <stunts513> I don't think so
[01:23] <cyperbg1> edbian: another Installer crash at the same time :(
[01:23] <stunts513> Remind me what that is, I havnt used it in a while
[01:23] <nitrohax> bazhang, yes. it's root for install
[01:24] <nitrohax> if i go to live cd and then run gparted there it will allow to make it all ext4 with out losing data?
[01:24] <bazhang> nitrohax, you booted the live cd to do this? you would need to unmount anything to resize it
[01:24] <mosx1> The configuration could not be saved: you are not allowed to modify the system configuration
[01:24] <mosx1> what a fail
[01:24] <stunts513> The whole reason I'm doing this is cause when I upgraded my dostro I crashed the debian os
[01:24] <dli> stunts513, just remove 'quiet splash' add something like 'i915.modeset=0' or 'radeon.modeset=0', depends on your video card
[01:25] <nitrohax> bazhang, no i'm on the installed HDD. I'm trying to make this partition to the full disk
[01:25] <stunts513> dli: um ok where can I findiut what I need to put
[01:25] <bazhang> nitrohax, you need to be on a live cd of some sort, if you are talking about resizing the partition you are currently running from
[01:26] <nitrohax> ok thank you
[01:26] <dli> nitrohax, if everthing else has failed, try to copy out the partition (cp -avxAH, or partimage)
[01:26] <nitrohax> dli, thank you
[01:26] <bazhang> dli, he was trying to resize a mounted partition. gparted wont do that
[01:29] <bob_> Hey guys, I have had a few guys help me install an updated driver for my video card in hopes to be able to run Unity.  I have the new driver installed, but cant seem to get Unity instead of the classic interface.  Any ideas how to get Unity started up?
[01:29] <bob_> Or... at least determine if there is another hardware requirement I am not meeting?
[01:29] <bazhang> bob_, installed from where, which driver, which card
[01:29] <sloale> dli: nmap -sP <IP_ADDRESS>/24 :) so stoked!
[01:29] <sloale> your clue about netstat led me to it
[01:30] <bob_> It is the nVidia GeForce4 440 MX
[01:30] <philipballew> can i have a split screen in gnome terminal
[01:30] <bob_> I installed the nvidia-current drivers earlier with some help here
[01:30] <bob_> We installed it via tty, using sudo apt-get install nvidia-current or something near that
[01:30] <mosx1> tried cli adduser: it didn't like the . in the username
[01:31] <dli> sloale, still silly, if it's static IP, you should already know, if it's dhcp, dhcpd usually records it in syslog
[01:31] <mosx1> still a fail though as the gui said that was ok
[01:31] <stunts513> Ok I ttys booting without splash screen and now it shows some text for a half second then refresh rate goes nuts
[01:31] <stunts513> Tryd*
[01:31] <dli> stunts513, sounds like KMS
[01:31] <stunts513> What is kms
[01:31] <dli> stunts513, just disable it
[01:32] <dli> stunts513, I already mentioned it 'kernel mode setting'
[01:32] <stunts513> Sry I'm doing this from iPod
[01:32] <Mixmasterxp> I heard things can get corrupted
[01:32] <Mixmasterxp> Is it recommended I share a ntfs storage partition between ubuntu and windows?
[01:33] <dli> Mixmasterxp, should be stable
[01:34] <stunts513> dli: how do I find the right one, or do I try nomodeset
[01:35] <dli> stunts513, you can add them all, 'i915.modeset=0 radeon.modeset=0'
[01:36] <stunts513> O
[01:36] <Meshelton> Hi All
[01:36] <Meshelton> I have a quick question if anyone is on right now
[01:37] <ActionParsnip> Mixmasterxp: why not just make the windows partition bigger then have ubuntu access you mydocs via the usuall ntfs way, or did you want a seperate userdata partition?
[01:37] <ActionParsnip> Meshelton: ask away
[01:37] <Meshelton> Ok so I found a script that will automatically rip a dvd when you put it in a drive
[01:37] <Meshelton> which is pretty cool cause I'm putting together a media server
[01:38] <Mixmasterxp> ActionParsnip: I'm used to having a seperate partition for my storage, something outside of the C drive
[01:38] <Meshelton> the issue is that the script automatically takes the name of the disc for the mkv file it eventually creates
[01:38] <bazhang> Meshelton, whats the question
[01:38] <Meshelton> I was wondering if there was a way for me to make the script prompt the user for the title of the movie
[01:39] <bazhang> Meshelton, use ogmrip instead
[01:39] <Meshelton> ok i'll check it out
[01:40] <bazhang> Meshelton, many nice presets with numerous options
[01:40] <szal> Meshelton: that's more of a question for the author of the script than for a general support hub
[01:40] <bazhang> !info ogmrip
[01:40] <stunts513> dli: ok tried those 2 and same result
[01:41] <dli> stunts513, do you know what's the video card?
[01:42] <dli> stunts513, try a command line only livecd
[01:42] <stunts513> dli: it's a chips and tech card think 69000f or something
[01:42] <dli> stunts513, I have no idea what it is
[01:42] <stunts513> dli: I havnt ever tryd doing that, how do I setup the parameters?
[01:43] <Meshelton> join
[01:43] <dli> stunts513, what parameters?
[01:43] <whatismyname> Greetings, now that i've got my wireless internet working, there's just one major issue I need to take care of: dual screen. my 5 year old 15.1" (1280x.. res) laptop running windows 7 was able to handle an extra 22" screen connected to it (1650x.. res), it doesn't work with ubuntu 11.04
[01:44] <bazhang> whatismyname, using randr?
[01:44] <whatismyname> bazhang: what is randr?
[01:44] <stunts513> dli: booting only into a terminal from boot parameters
[01:44] <dli> whatismyname, xrandr ?
[01:44] <whatismyname> let me google
[01:44] <bazhang> !xrandr | whatismyname
[01:45] <aj00200> since we're talking about xrandr, will dual-screen be automatic on the x replacement that is being worked on?
[01:45] <bob_> How can I force Ubuntu to attempt to start up Unity?
[01:45] <bazhang> aj00200, wayland? thats a ways off , hard to say
[01:46] <aj00200> bazhang: what is the target for that? 12.04?
[01:46] <bazhang> bob_, you cannot. you could use unity-2d though
[01:46] <dli> stunts513, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions
[01:46] <stunts513> Thnks
[01:46] <mlybrand> hi all, just installed 11.04 on a compaq presario CQ60 with an Atheros wireless card.  Wireless network is showing as disabled, apparently due to a hardware flag. The wireless light is blue indicating connection.  Any idea how to best rectify?
[01:46] <bazhang> aj00200, hardly. longer than that
[01:46] <aj00200> ok, thanks
[01:47] <bob_> bazhang, is there a way I can determine what hw requirement I am not meeting?
[01:47] <bob_> I was told yesterday that it was just because I didn't have the newer driver installed
[01:47] <bazhang> bob_, how old is your graphic card
[01:47] <szal> bob_: are you still running nouveau?
[01:47] <bob_> Pretty old, but I was told it was still good enough for Unity.  GeForce4 440
[01:47] <dli> stunts513, try "Safe graphic mode", and add 'i915.modeset=0 radeon.modeset=0'
[01:48] <Meshelton> info shrip
[01:48] <bob_> szal, hey there, sorry to keep coming back :)  earlier the other person helping me said I was good, but here is what I get when I do sudo lspci -k
[01:48] <Meshelton> !shrip
[01:48] <bazhang> Meshelton, /msg ubottu info package
[01:49] <bazhang> Meshelton, or /msg ubottu find related
[01:49] <stunts513> K
[01:49] <bob_> szal, http://pastebin.com/XRCnWnxQ
[01:49] <Meshelton> kk thx
[01:49] <bob_> szal, sure looks to me like I am still running the old driver
[01:50] <szal> bob_: guess there's your problem then
[01:50] <bob_> szal, looks like the new driver is installed though.  Is there a way to tell it to use the other one?
[01:51] <szal> bob_: pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf please
[01:51] <Meshelton> bazhang: how would I find info about the CLI for ogmrip?
[01:52] <szal> Meshelton: man ogmrip; look for docs in /usr/share/doc/packages/, or on the 'net (the author's/project's home page might be a good starting point)
[01:53] <bob_> szal, I dont have an xorg.conf in that folder
[01:53] <bazhang> Meshelton, /msg ubottu find ogmrip    still waiting for the laggy bot to respond
[01:53] <szal> bob_: then you didn't run 'sudo nvidia-xconfig'
[01:53] <bob_> szal, no i did not, let me do that now
[01:54] <szal> bob_: when that is done, reboot
[01:54] <Muct> are their somebody that can tell me how can get rid of this netbook looking thing i got on my netbook :p
[01:54] <mlybrand> no help for compaq atheros wireless card issue? :(
[01:54] <xangua> !classic | Muct
[01:54] <bazhang> Muct, get rid of completely? or just switch to the old gnome style desktop
[01:55] <Muct> get rid of it ;)
[01:55] <Muct> i dont like the netbook version of ubuntu
[01:55] <bazhang> Muct, installing the gnome-3-session for natty will do that
[01:55] <Muct> or what is called
[01:56] <bazhang> Muct, there is not a UNE anymore, its all unity
[01:56] <bazhang> !une | Muct
[01:56] <bazhang> !unity > Muct
[01:57] <whatismyname> bazhang, thanks for telling me about xrandr
[01:57] <ActionParsnip> Muct: http://mygeekopinions.blogspot.com/2011/05/wanna-install-old-netbook-launcher-in.html
[01:57] <bazhang> whatismyname, welcome
[01:57] <bazhang> Muct, dont mistake the gnome-3-session with the unsupported gnome3 PPA
[01:58] <ActionParsnip> Muct: gives the old netbook interface in natty :)
[01:58] <bazhang> s/with/for/
[01:58] <stunts513> dli: this is an ubuntu derivitive, it dies t have the safe gfx mode, I've tryd that b4 though without luck
[01:58] <bazhang> stunts513, which derivate
[01:59] <stunts513> Lubuntu
[01:59] <Muct> i just want the old theme or what i should call it with menu :p
[01:59] <bazhang> stunts513, thats a supported version, not a derivate
[01:59] <stunts513> O
[01:59] <ActionParsnip> Muct: I gave a link....
[01:59] <bazhang> Muct, thats classic
[01:59] <stunts513> I didn't realize that
[01:59] <ar0nic> getting tired of shit gfx driver support from ubuntu
[01:59] <bazhang> Muct, select at login window after choosing user name
[01:59] <stunts513> Any form of ubuntu I try has same problem
[01:59] <bazhang> ar0nic, no cursing please
[02:00] <ar0nic> uh
[02:00] <mlybrand> Do I interpret lack of response to no one really having anything helpful, or am I lacking in explaining myself (or perhaps patience)?
[02:01] <bazhang> mlybrand, more details would be better
[02:01] <Muct> ok i shall try then later i be bsk :)
[02:01] <Muct> be back*
[02:01] <ActionParsnip> mlybrand: if nobody knows they cannot reply. Try a bit later as different users will be in
[02:02] <stunts513> Brb
[02:03] <mlybrand> bazhang, thanks.  I am not sure what you would need to know. Ubuntu 11.04, Compaq Presario CQ60. Atheros Wireless card. Ubuntu indicates Disabled due to hardware switch. Wireless button on device shows blue (functional). What more do I need to provide (clueless newbie, sorry)?
[02:03] <bazhang> mlybrand, did you try turning the hw switch off then back on, there was a bug I had on my laptop similar (different chipset though); also, is it a hidden essid or not
[02:03] <ActionParsnip> mlybrand: if you run:  sudo iwlist scan     do you see wireless networks?
[02:03] <bazhang> mlybrand, which atheros precisely, please
[02:04] <mlybrand> ActionParsnip, hold please.
[02:05] <mlybrand> ActionParsnip, that command shows three items, lo, eth0, wlan0
[02:05] <mlybrand> all three show interface does not support scanning
[02:05] <mlybrand> wlan0 further shows network is down
[02:06] <mlybrand> bazhang, hold on while I find out exactly which Atheros
[02:06] <bob_> szal, K, now Ubuntu won't start.  :(
[02:07] <bob_> this is reminding me why I have stayed away from Linux
[02:08] <stunts513> Ok I'm back
[02:08] <Meshelton> If I ssh into ubuntu will i see the output of a script that is constantly running?
[02:08] <bob_> how do I boot up without the gui so I can change the video card drivers?
[02:08] <bazhang> !nox | bob_
[02:09] <mlybrand> Atheros is AR5001
[02:09] <szal> bob_: define 'won't start'
[02:09] <bob_> szal, stuck at the ubuntu splash screen
[02:09] <mlybrand> bazhang, Atheros AR5001
[02:09] <szal> bob_: press Esc & see what the messages say
[02:10] <bob_> szal, it must be locked up, Esc does nothing, let me boot holding down Esc
[02:10] <bazhang> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1744471 mlybrand
[02:11] <whatismyname> there's a little problem, I tried the following commands:
[02:11] <mlybrand> bazhang, sudo rfkill unblock wifi ??
[02:11] <bazhang> bob_, you need shift to get to grub not esc
[02:11] <bazhang> mlybrand, thats what the thread suggests
[02:12] <mlybrand> okay.  Let's see what happens.
[02:12] <bob_> bazhang, yep, i used Shift.., it seems to be in an infinite loop, messages keep displaying, but moving too fast to see what they say, they are scrolling too fast
[02:12] <whatismyname> xrandr --output LVDS1 --mode 1280x800 --rate 60.1 and then separely, xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1680x1050 --rate 59.9 --left-of LVDS1
[02:13] <whatismyname> it didn't work, it messed up both the screens and I blindly typed xrandr to reset the screens
[02:13] <stunts513> dli: soo I have tried a few things u told and no luck sofar
[02:13] <whatismyname> it worked fine when I only set one screen, and it cloned the display
[02:14] <bob_> bazhang, szal, got it to stop scrolling... says fail next to "Stopping automatic crash report generation", ... rest says OK... Does say "Stopping System V initialisation compatibility"
[02:14] <Bi0haz4rd> how do i make the files a iso so i can put it on virtualbox
[02:14] <mlybrand> bazhang, SWEEET.  Worked like a charm.
[02:14] <bazhang> Bi0haz4rd, what files
[02:14] <Bi0haz4rd> for ubuntu
[02:15] <bazhang> Bi0haz4rd, what file for ubuntu
[02:15] <Bi0haz4rd> it gives me a RAR file
[02:15] <Bi0haz4rd> i have ubuntu on a cd
[02:15] <mlybrand> bazhang, good tips for getting up to speed with all the command line commands available.  Any tutorials, or the like?
[02:15] <Bi0haz4rd> but i want to run ubuntu through virtual box
[02:15] <bazhang> Bi0haz4rd, you dont extract the iso, you use the iso as is for vbox
[02:15] <Chillance> does anyone here know how I can start a vncserver session that includes using my nvidia drivers?
[02:16] <Bi0haz4rd> i have a error now that says failed to open a session for the virtual machine ubuntu
[02:17] <bazhang> mlybrand, thats a pretty broad subject, I usually just "item name ubuntu" in a search engine, and it leads directly to ubuntuforums posts
[02:17] <bazhang> Bi0haz4rd, it does not use rar. dont extract from iso
[02:17] <mlybrand> bazhang, what did you search for this time, for example. you found that pretty fast.
[02:18] <bazhang> mlybrand, atheros 5001 11.04
[02:18] <dee27> anybody useing flush torrent
[02:18] <dee27> ?
[02:18] <bazhang> dee27, what is that
[02:18] <dee27> bittorrent
[02:18] <dee27> client
[02:18] <bazhang> dee27, unless you mean flux
[02:19] <dee27> nah is called flush
[02:19] <bazhang> dee27, from where
[02:19] <stunts513> dli: if The os is booting while gfx card is screwed up, is there a chance I can ssh into the live os and get a copy of it's startup log
[02:19] <mlybrand> bazhang, hahahahhaa. you get better results than I did.  I bow to your superior search ability :)  Thanks again.
[02:19] <dee27> in the ubuntu software if u type flush it would pop up
[02:19] <bazhang> mlybrand, glad its working
[02:20] <szal> bob_: do you get a login prompt?
[02:20] <bazhang> dee27, its simply called flush, whats the question about it
[02:20] <bob_> szal, nope, just an infinite loop.  I am starting the reload.  Will use the steps you suggested yesterday first thing after installing
[02:20] <dee27> thats what i said
[02:20] <bob_> szal, hopefully that will do the trick.  You were wanting me to do the nvidia-96 instead of nvidia-current.. maybe that was the issue
[02:20] <dee27> flush
[02:21] <bazhang> dee27, whats the question about it
[02:21] <stunts513> Sorry I lagged out
[02:21] <dee27> is anybody having problems with it??
[02:21] <bazhang> dee27, never used it, transmission works here
[02:21] <bob_> sval, if this still doesn't work, I am going to grab a newer video card
[02:21] <szal> bob_: that's my guess too, especially since BluesKaj failed to explain what he meant when he said that 'nvidia-current' is supposed to pull in different driver versions according to the card in use
[02:22] <Ycarene> Can the gtk 2 and gtk 3 libraries co-exist on the same system?
[02:22] <bazhang> dee27, what are *your* precise problems with it
[02:22] <bob_> sval, hopefully third reload is the charm :)
[02:22] <bazhang> Ycarene, using the gnome3 PPA?
[02:22] <szal> bob_: if you get the text mode to boot up, rename /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and it should revert to using the nouveau driver
[02:22] <pappa_bear> Hello, I'm trying to get my miniHD-out to work on my macbook. i'm running 11.04.
[02:23] <Ycarene> Yeah
[02:23] <dee27> dont start at all
[02:23] <dee27> i think it has a bug
[02:23] <bazhang> Ycarene, thats not supported and breaks things. best to avoid
[02:23] <pappa_bear> Also, is there a way to get the old nvidia monitor controls from 10.04?
[02:23] <bob_> sval, too late, I have started the OS install, no biggie, it was a fresh install before
[02:23] <bazhang> !gnome3 | Ycarene
[02:23] <Ycarene> damn
[02:23] <szal> lol, ok
[02:24] <szal> bob_: and clean your glasses and/or learn to tab nicks :P
[02:24] <stunts513> Ok my laptop won't boot into live os, igbo take off quiet splash, it displays about 2 seconds of readout then the screen starts flickering from refresh rate going outta range, help
[02:24] <bazhang> dee27, what about other torrent clients, like transmission etc
[02:25] <bob_> szal, yeah, this stuff is very new to me.  I always get frustrated when I install Linux such that I abandon it.  I am hoping to get there this time :)
[02:25] <dee27> trans
[02:25] <dee27> work good
[02:25] <bazhang> dee27, have you tried starting flush from the terminal to see the errors
[02:25] <pappa_bear> Hello, I'm trying to get my miniHD-out to work on my macbook. i'm running 11.04.
[02:25] <dee27> yea i did that see alot of errors
[02:25] <pappa_bear> Also, is there a way to get the old nvidia monitor controls from 10.04?
[02:25] <bazhang> dee27, so file some bugs?
[02:25] <bazhang> pappa_bear, what is the name of the old ones
[02:25] <dee27> i post the bugs in launchpad.
[02:26] <dee27> flush was working fine couple of days ago,and now is broken lol
[02:26] <bazhang> dee27, so follow the bug reports
[02:27] <bazhang> dee27, if transmission is working though why not just use that
[02:27] <dee27> idk trans i like flush lol
[02:27] <bob_> szal, this better?
[02:28] <szal> bob_: yep :)
[02:28] <bob_> szal, ahh.. i was doing sval :) lol, sorry about that
[02:34] <Chakravanti> Hello, I'm trying to install 11.04 on an nilfs partition but the installer isn't giving me any options to do it.  It want's to format the partitions itself and has no NILFS2 support.  Does anyone know a workaround?
[02:38] <VxQe> Ok so.
[02:38] <VxQe> I may have borked Nautilus something fierce. :/
[02:38] <VxQe> I get "Nautilus cannot handle "smb" locations"
[02:38] <VxQe> whenever I try to open an smb share
[02:39] <VxQe> and same for the network browse button as well.
[02:39] <VxQe> Tried reainstalling gvfs / nautilus
[02:39] <VxQe> didn't help.
[02:39] <defectz> hi all, so im using ubuntu 32bit and i need to put native drivers on my computer for my wireless adapter, i have a guide on how to do it but i dont know what to do =\
[02:39] <VxQe> What wireless adapter?
[02:39] <defectz> linsys
[02:39] <VxQe> Do you know what chipset it is?
[02:40] <centHOGG> sudo lspci
[02:40] <defectz> no
[02:40] <VxQe> Right
[02:40] <Dr_Willis> you have a guide.. but dont understand what it says? you mean to say?
[02:40] <VxQe> is it a usb one?
[02:40] <VxQe> or an internal one?
[02:40] <defectz> its usb and dr_willis: ya i have a guide and do know what to do
[02:40] <VxQe> right.
[02:40] <VxQe> hop onto terminal and type lsusb
[02:40] <VxQe> You might need to do that as root...
[02:41] <defectz> worked
[02:41] <VxQe> that should give you a list of usb devices plugged into your computer
[02:41] <VxQe> and it should list the chipset of the wireless thingy.
[02:42] <defectz> raling rt7
[02:42] <defectz> ?
[02:42] <defectz> ralink RT7
[02:42] <VxQe> sounds about right.
[02:42] <richardgozinya> hi everyone, i screwed up my routing and now my dns doesn't work. example, i had to find the ip address for irc server rather than typing in its name.
[02:43] <defectz> kk now what?
[02:43] <VxQe> richardgozinya, what is in your resolv.conf?
[02:43] <richardgozinya> 1 sec, i think thats prob
[02:43] <VxQe> defectz, sec having a look.
[02:43] <stunts513> Anyone have an idea to get a boot log from a computer I can't get the graphics card to work in ubuntu, it's refresh rate goes off the charts but from what ican tell, the terminals work
[02:43] <Chakravanti> Any one has any information at all on installing ubuntu on nilfs?
[02:43] <centHOGG> !nilfs
[02:43] <richardgozinya> there is problem
[02:44] <richardgozinya> should have nameservers right
[02:44] <richardgozinya> is blank now
[02:44] <Hebram> !nilfs
[02:44] <VxQe> yep.
[02:44] <VxQe> richardgozinya, nameserver <ip>
[02:44] <Chakravanti> lol, yeah, i most I've found is some man pages for nilfs-tools
[02:45] <Chakravanti> what makes btrfs so great?
[02:45] <VxQe> deface, you said you have drivers? From where?
[02:45] <Chakravanti> why is it supported when it doesn't even have disk checking tools yet?
[02:45] <Chakravanti> i'm scared to use it
[02:46] <richardgozinya> perfect thanks
[02:47] <VxQe> Chakravanti, I understand it is not yet very stable.
[02:47] <VxQe> :/
[02:47] <stunts513> Help booting live cd, refresh rate goes way out there on gfx card, makes screen flicker black screen
[02:48] <Chakravanti> VxQe, that's what I'm saying!  That's why I want to use nilfs but it's like ubuntu just wants to hump btrfs
[02:48] <Chakravanti> for SSD's
[02:49] <VxQe> Everyone wants btrfs.
[02:49] <VxQe> :/
[02:49] <ActionParsnip> Chakravanti: I used it and found it slower, but i've no knowledge of it so maybe there is something more to it
[02:49] <VxQe> Because it is getting huge backing from companies, I believe.
[02:49] <stunts513> Help, can't boot ubuntu cd, makes gfx card refresh rate go off the charts
[02:50] <Guest43460> stunts513 I had a friend who had the same problem. 10.10 works fine, 11.04 flickers. I was told later that this computer didn't have enough processor speed.
[02:50] <RealOpty> .
[02:50] <Guest43460> I don't know if that's true or not, that is what I was told
[02:50] <Chakravanti> ActionParsnip, which one?
[02:50] <DanaG> say, anyone know of a good app to continously sync a mac with ubuntu?
[02:50] <DanaG> Documents and Pictures folders, that is.
[02:50] <stunts513> Guest43460: Weird I couldn't use 10 or a few previous ones either tho
[02:51] <Chakravanti> ActionParsnip, on an SSD?
[02:51] <th0r> DanaG: if you want a cloud service look at Spideroak
[02:51] <stunts513> Guest43460: debian works fine though,  that's what's odd since ubuntu is based on it
[02:51] <acecool> h
[02:52] <ActionParsnip> Chakravanti: no on a PATA drive
[02:52] <Chakravanti> well yeah, it's meant to be used on an SSD not an HDD
[02:52] <DanaG> I mean to my own server.
[02:52] <DanaG> It's like 300 gigs of stuff.
[02:52] <DanaG> Boatloads of pictures.
[02:52] <VxQe> Oh
[02:52] <VxQe> btrfs is owned by Oracle
[02:52] <VxQe> Big :(
[02:52] <Dr_Willis> rsync, or unison perhaps DanaG
[02:52] <VxQe> Stupid oracle buying everything.
[02:53] <Chakravanti> I have a new laptop with a new intel 320 40GB and I want to put nilfs on it and ubuntu is just acting ignorant about it
[02:53] <DanaG> If I had the mind-control powers Yuri (in RA2 and Yuri's Revenge) had, I'd mind-control them to re-release zfs as GPL.
[02:53] <Guest43460> I see
[02:53] <Chakravanti> VxQe, it's FOSS, oracle is developing it
[02:53] <ActionParsnip> Chakravanti: wikipedia says it is yet to be released, not sure how old the data is though
[02:54] <Chakravanti> it's in ubuntu...i can format a drive nilfs and I have
[02:54] <Chakravanti> i just can't install ubuntu to it
[02:54] <Chakravanti> trying to figure a workaround
[02:54] <Dr_Willis> i would wonder if grub can boot from it...
[02:54] <Chakravanti> grub2 can and i'm installing 11.04
[02:55] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis: yes it does. I made my / partition btrfs once and it was ok, just a little sluggish
[02:55] <ActionParsnip> In 2008 the principal developer of the ext3 and ext4 file systems, Theodore Ts'o, stated that ext4 is a stop-gap and that Btrfs is the way forward,[11] having "a number of the same design ideas that reiser3/4 had
[02:55] <greg_brutal> hello room, I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me with a very strange laptop issue
[02:56] <Chakravanti> google returns five results for archaived man pages on canonical and then: MILFS lol
[02:56] <Chakravanti> (that's WITH safe search on lmao)
[02:56] <stunts513> I can't get ubuntu to boot, it makes gfx card go outta the refresh rate range of standard monitors
[02:56] <Guest43460> http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CBUQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thispagecannotbedisplayed.com%2F&rct=j&q=thispagecannotbedisplayed&ei=6PwgTuPcAuiwsAK62NjaAw&usg=AFQjCNF4vJ0711y3mVCXJ7764vs5HT6hJw&cad=rja
[02:56] <greg_brutal> this is the first time it occurs after having used ubuntu for two months, essentially  what happened was a hang/freeze at startup and then my laptop fan started running super fast
[02:57] <Pwnna> i need some help with certain memory issue

[02:57] <IdleOne> !ot | Chakravanti
[02:57] <Dr_Willis> stunts513,  ive noticed grub using some bad modes. I edited the /etc/default/grub to use a low res text based menu for this box.
[02:57] <Chakravanti> IdleOne, it is on topic, I'm referring to the lack of information about ubuntu & nilfs
[02:57] <Chakravanti> which is my question, how to install ubuntu on nilfs
[02:58] <Chakravanti> typically google doesn't pronspam till at least page 3
[02:58] <VxQe> Argh.
[02:58] <brunolimaaa> #Laguna
[02:58] <VxQe> I joined to get help with something and instead started helping other people.
[02:58] <VxQe> Damnit. ~_~
[02:58] <Dr_Willis> VxQe,  shame :)
[02:58] <stunts513> I Dr_Willis: I'm booting from a live cd, when kernel is loading, this happens
[02:58] <Dr_Willis> stunts513,  try the nomodeset option? it can fix a lot of issues
[02:59] <Dr_Willis> !nomodeset
[02:59] <stunts513> Tried italready
[02:59] <nezZario> Crap
[02:59] <Dr_Willis> hit it with a hammer? :)
[02:59] <Dr_Willis> stunts513,  whats your video chipset>?
[02:59] <nezZario> How do I get ubuntu to read /and/ write netbsd partitions ?
[02:59] <stunts513> Ancient one called chips& technologies
[02:59] <Dr_Willis> nezZario,  could be root user has access to them if you can mount them
[02:59] <stunts513> , intel bought em out ages ago
[02:59] <ActionParsnip> Chakravanti: try http://duckduckgo.com/
[03:00] <Pwnna> can anyone help?
[03:00] <ActionParsnip> Chakravanti: it breaks you from your web bubble
[03:00] <Dr_Willis> what fs does bsd use anyway?
[03:00] <Pwnna> mysterious memory issue --> http://askubuntu.com/questions/51785/swap-shoots-to-100-after-a-couple-of-hours-of-usage
[03:00] <greg_brutal> anybody have any idea what might be going on with the hang/freeze startup issue?
[03:00] <ActionParsnip> Pwnna: are there any clues in dmesg?
[03:01] <Pwnna> ActionParsnip: what am i looking for?
[03:01] <Tracert> .
[03:01] <stunts513> Dr_Willis: I think the gfx model is 69000f or something made by chips and technologies
[03:01] <Pwnna> or, anything i should grep for?
[03:01] <nezZario> Dr_Willis: what do you mean?
[03:01] <Dr_Willis> nezZario,  i thought they used ext3   but   its been years since i laste messed with bsd.
[03:02] <ActionParsnip> Pwnna: anything that doesn't sound right
[03:02] <nezZario> dude, they use 4.2-BSD ffsv1 partitions
[03:02] <ActionParsnip> Pwnna: just read from the ipv6 warning and below
[03:02] <Dr_Willis> nezZario,  and thats why i asked...
[03:02] <Pwnna> ActionParsnip: kay
[03:02] <nezZario> can't really find much useful stuff on google
[03:02] <ActionParsnip> Pwnna: I assume you didnt disable ipv6
[03:02] <Pwnna> probably not
[03:03] <Pwnna> lol, ipv6 duplicate detected?
[03:04] <stunts513> Dr_Willis: if it helps my computer is a compaq armada 3500
[03:04] <Dr_Willis> stunts513,  means very little.. its all about the chipsets being used in the thing...
[03:04] <nezZario> i can mount it read-only via
[03:04] <nezZario> mount -t ufs -r -o ufstype=ufs2 /dev/sda1 /mnt/
[03:05] <Dr_Willis> stunts513,  ie: nvidia, ati, intel....
[03:05] <nezZario> without the -r it gives me an error though
[03:05] <Dr_Willis> night all...
[03:05] <stunts513> K
[03:06] <stunts513> You leaving?
[03:06] <stunts513> Aw man
[03:07] <Chakravanti> thanks ActionParsnip it is giving me more relevant information than google but nothing usable I'm afraid there's no support for installing ubuntu on nilfs and I'm gonna hav eto some wierd imaging crap installing to a differnt fs
[03:07] <Chakravanti> yuck yuck yuck
[03:07] <stunts513> Anyone else got some ideas?
[03:08] <ActionParsnip> Chakravanti: everyone just uses google, that's why I use 'websearch' rather than 'google'. people need to start looking around at other engines.
[03:09] <ActionParsnip> Chakravanti: just like when people start using Linux they realize there is more than wnidows
[03:10] <Pwnna> http://pastebin.com/bt8ZrBew
[03:10] <Chakravanti> well google used to be the best search engine by merit, that's changing and sadly not because of a rising competitor :(

[03:14] <centHOGG> change OS
[03:15] <Pwnna> .... yeah. the other option is windows >.>
[03:15] <nezZario> linux does dynamically loaded modules right?
[03:15] <nezZario> kernel modules
[03:15] <nezZario> I can compile ufs write support & load it without rebooting?
[03:18] <nezZario> hey, i'll paypal anybody here 5 bux if they can get me the UFS module for ubuntu so I can load it dynamically with write support

[03:20] <bullgard4> mrlane: What do you mdean by "PnP"?
[03:20] <bullgard4> mrlane: What do you mean by "PnP"?
[03:20] <mrlane> plug and play
[03:21] <nezZario> like IP UPnP ?
[03:21] <mrlane> not sure
[03:21] <VxQe> So.
[03:21] <nezZario> well generally for plug and play, you plug it up and play it
[03:21] <ActionParsnip> Pwnna: try in the liveCD to see if it does the same
[03:21] <mrlane> i have a creative plug and play webcam that works
[03:21] <nezZario> no one wants to take me up on the ufs module?
[03:21] <VxQe> "Nautilus cannot handle smb locations." error. Tried reinstalling gvfs/nautilus. didn't fix it. Anyone else got any ideas?
[03:22] <nezZario> i don't have an ubuntu box handy and I'm short on time
[03:22] <mrlane> the creative plug and play microphone doesn't work
[03:22] <nezZario> nor have I really went too deep into how to rebuild linux kernsl

[03:23] <StepNjump> hi guys, I have an app I would like to install, it's written in Java and comes as a tarball. Could anyone would be patient enough to tell me how to install it?
[03:23] <Pwnna> ActionParsnip: i can't really do a liveCD right now, it took A LOT to actually install and make ubuntu usable. I had to patch the kernel from xorg-edgers (2.5.39-3) with fglrx to allow switchable graphics to work. If not, I could use the vgaswitcheroo, which wouldn't let me shutdown/reboot/logout without hard resetting. I can tell you though, i didn't notice this issue before patching the kernel.
[03:23] <Pwnna> 2.6**
[03:24] <bob_> szal, okay, it looks like the nvidia-96 package is broken
[03:24] <bob_> szal, the first thing I did was a sudo apt-get install nvidia-96 and the package returns broken packages
[03:25] <bob_> szal, so I am assuming I am out of luck, will probably need to report it as a bug, no?
[03:25] <ActionParsnip> Pwnna: maybe it's the 3rd party kernel you are using
[03:25] <Pwnna> ActionParsnip: xorg-edger?
[03:25] <Pwnna> well .38 wouldn't work
[03:25] <Pwnna> it crashes with my graphics card
[03:25] <Pwnna> --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1739199
[03:25] <DanaG> Last time I tried nvidia 96, before I got rid of that hardware that needed it:
[03:26] <ActionParsnip> Pwnna: could try oneiric to test
[03:26] <DanaG> It crashed Xorg.
[03:26] <DanaG> It was 4 years ago now, that the driver went from "works" to "crashes Xorg".
[03:26] <DanaG> And each year thereafter, nvidia updated it to crash new versions of Xorg.
[03:26] <ActionParsnip> Pwnna: that video chip switching stuff always causes grief
[03:26] <bob_> yeah, probably will need to just get a newer vid card
[03:26] <Pwnna> ActionParsnip: idk if that would work with fgrlx
[03:26] <DanaG> Which card?
[03:27] <redmorning> Is there a software to see the power(watt) of my computer?
[03:27] <bob_> DanaG, mine?  nVidia GeForce4 440 MX
[03:27] <DanaG> powertop is one, but only when on battery power.
[03:27] <rww> redmorning: No. Go buy a kill-a-watt.
[03:27] <StepNjump> actionparsnip, I have an app I would like to run that's not available from the repo. It's written in java and comes in a tarball. Could you kindly tell me how to set up the permissions of the folder where it needs to be installed? it's supposedly to be very simple.
[03:27] <Pwnna> ActionParsnip: from weeks upon weeks of research, I've only been able to find that 2.6.39 works
[03:27] <DanaG> yeah, same here.
[03:28] <Pwnna> also idk if it's the video switching stuff that's causing the issue of the memory
[03:28] <Pwnna> it seems possible, but still somewhat unrelated
[03:28] <DanaG> bob_: er, meant that for you.  geforce *cough*oneplusoneequalsFOUR* MX, mobile.
[03:28] <ActionParsnip> Pwnna: could install the 3.0.5 kernel from the kernel ppa to test
[03:28] <bob_> DanaG, yeah, this is an older machine, but sounds like I will be better off replacing it
[03:28] <Pwnna> ActionParsnip: would that require me to patch again?
[03:28] <ActionParsnip> bob_: you can get decent nvidia video cards for the price of a 6 ack :)
[03:29] <ActionParsnip> pack*
[03:29] <centHOGG> sure
[03:29] <ActionParsnip> Pwnna: its a seperate kernel, no patching. Just install the packages
[03:29] <DanaG> The machine I had that in was a laptop with something I'd call "crap²".
[03:29] <DanaG> P4 is crap, and Celeron is Crap.  P4-Celeron?  That's crap².
[03:29] <ActionParsnip> DanaG: p4 isn't crap
[03:29] <bob_> ActionParsnip, any thoughts on the minimum requirements I need to look for on a new card?
[03:29] <centHOGG> yeah stuff get's obsolete fast
[03:29] <DanaG> Well, this was a 1.6.
[03:30] <StepNjump> Anyone familiar to know where I'm supposed to install an app in Linux?
[03:30] <DanaG> And a P4 is the worst thing you could ever put in a laptop.
[03:30] <ActionParsnip> DanaG: my media pc has a 1.6Ghz Semperon AM2
[03:30] <Pwnna> ActionParsnip: yeah but i had to do all this --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10996043#post10996043 to get it working

[03:30] <DanaG> Anyway, I'm trying Unison.
[03:30] <DanaG> Is there any realtime-sync solution, sort of like dropbox?
[03:30] <centHOGG> P4 = too hot
[03:30] <DanaG> But local, not cloud.
[03:30] <DanaG> And Celeron doesn't have SpeedStep.
[03:30] <bob_> ActionParsnip, thanks
[03:31] <mixmasterxp> Any idea why windows would give a BSOD right after boot screen and suddenly restarts? I just installed ubuntu on another partition
[03:31] <DanaG> Heh, I have a 17" ze5500 sitting here in my closet -- it has a desktop P4 in it.  Works perfectly, but is garbage.
[03:31] <DanaG> I'm wondering: who would have a use for such a beast, assuming I gave it to them for free?
[03:31] <IdleOne> DanaG: Get on topic please
[03:31] <DanaG> (8:30:31 PM) DanaG: Anyway, I'm trying Unison.
[03:31] <DanaG> (8:30:39 PM) DanaG: Is there any realtime-sync solution, sort of like dropbox?
[03:32] <bob_> ActionParsnip, ok, I sure hope I can get away with a lesser card than that.. those are still >$300 :)
[03:32] <ActionParsnip> Pwnna: http://ubuntuguide.net/how-to-install-linux-kernel-3-0-rc2-in-ubuntu-11-04-natty-narwhal   worth a try, it can be removed
[03:32] <DanaG> But anyway, yeah, back on topic now.
[03:32] <Pwnna> eh

[03:37] <KrashKing> darn was hoping it was 5
[03:38] <VxQe> 11 has 5. :/
[03:38] <VxQe> You could always install the mozilla ppa.
[03:40] <KrashKing> so is Chromium any better?
[03:40] <teddyroosebelt> is there any way to install two different firefox browsers on one system?
[03:40] <centHOGG> does it have extensions
[03:40] <alum1num> like 2 different versions?
[03:40] <teddyroosebelt> sure that would work
[03:41] <alum1num> you could; just put them into separate folders and create launchers for each
[03:41] <alum1num> and of course make sure they're not set to update because then you'd just have 2 of the same browsers
[03:41] <ActionParsnip> !info firefox maverick
[03:41] <teddyroosebelt> good deal. i just need it to be able to run on my seperated x screens
[03:42] <Pwnna> hm
[03:42] <ActionParsnip> KrashKing: I'd say try it. I think Chromium is great (I use the daily build ppa myself)
[03:42] <Pwnna> how do i "kernel check to download it and compile it"
[03:42] <Pwnna> use^^
[03:42] <KrashKing> ok, linux noob here, ppa?
[03:43] <stunts513> Couldbsomeone help me boot my live cd, it makes refresh rate on gfx card go way outta range
[03:43] <alum1num> teddyoosebelt: you could just open two windows of the same browser
[03:43] <teddyroosebelt> alum1num, wont let me, says firefox is already running on the 2nd xscreen (my tv)
[03:44] <centHOGG> try another livecd
[03:44] <ActionParsnip> !ppa | KrashKing
[03:44] <nezZario> where the hell can I get an actual URL for the ISOs?
[03:44] <nezZario> and not use the website's little javascript whatever thingy
[03:44] <centHOGG> just google the iso you would like
[03:44] <alum1num> try a different browser? or run two browsers? running two versions of the same browser is more complicated
[03:45] <celthunder> alum1num: --prefix ftw?
[03:45] <teddyroosebelt> alum1num, tried to run chrome for that and it wont go fullscreen on the site i want to stream to the tv, also it wont run the games that i play so its kinda useless to me.
[03:47] <alum1num> teddyroosebelt: you used f11 right?
[03:47] <defectz> hi all, so i need to install java on my computer using ubuntu 32 bit
[03:47] <teddyroosebelt> f11, no i didnt. whats f11
[03:47] <alum1num> defectz: if it's 11.04 it should be preinstalled
[03:48] <alum1num> teddyroosebelt: f11 is the function key for fullscreen in chrome
[03:48] <KrashKing> ok, lat question
[03:48] <defectz2> well this is what it says    * gcj-4.4-jre-headless  * gcj-4.5-jre-headless  * openjdk-6-jre-headless
[03:48] <KrashKing> what is a good IRC prog to use in Ubuntu?
[03:49] <goetter> rargh avahi is pissing me off
[03:49] <defectz2> webchat.freenode.net
[03:49] <alum1num> KrashKing: i prefer pidgin
[03:49] <teddyroosebelt> alum1num, ah no, but its not the browser i think its flash issue because the fullscreen button dissapears on the video player in chrome but appears in firefox
[03:50] <ActionParsnip> !irc | KrashKing
[03:50] <[THC]AcidRain> pidgin sucks
[03:50] <teddyroosebelt> KrashKing, xchat works nicely for me
[03:50] <[THC]AcidRain> it wont load my old contact list
[03:50] <[THC]AcidRain> :/ fail
[03:50] <ActionParsnip> pidgin here for irc too
[03:50] <alum1num> lol
[03:50] <alum1num> that does suck
[03:50] <ActionParsnip> KrashKing: try a few, see which you like
[03:50] <[THC]AcidRain> i guess anything over 600 contacts wont load
[03:50] <ActionParsnip> [THC]AcidRain: yikes, thats a lot
[03:50] <teddyroosebelt> irssi works wonderful too if you know what you are doing (irc) wise
[03:50] <KrashKing> ActionParsnip: don't really like pidgin's IRC client
[03:51] <alum1num> im just not an empathy fan
[03:51] <centHOGG> anything that doesn't beep alot
[03:51] <ActionParsnip> KrashKing: the link ubottu gave has a list of some clients for ubuntu
[03:52] <ActionParsnip> KrashKing: try some, see which you like
[03:52] <KrashKing> thnx
[03:52] <alum1num> teddyroosebelt: what app are you trying to fullscreen
[03:52] <teddyroosebelt> alum1num, historychannel 's videos
[03:54] <alum1num> and you have flash setup with chrome?
[03:54] <teddyroosebelt> ya, video loads fine but no "fullscreen" button.
[03:55] <alum1num> teddyroosebelt: firefox works fine right?
[03:55] <teddyroosebelt> ya perfectly
[03:55] <alum1num> did u try using a new window
[03:55] <[THC]AcidRain> what type of cool system can i create?
[03:56] <[THC]AcidRain> something interactive with the people around me
[03:56] <[THC]AcidRain> preferably through cell phones
[03:56] <alum1num> [THC]AcidRain: what?
[03:56] <mrjbar> How can I find out what kind of video card I'm using?
[03:56] <teddyroosebelt> well i know i can run it in a terminal and run --display=.0 etc to get it there but i usually need to close my firefox regularly. esp if im watchin somethin on tv and working on something on the main screen.
[03:56] <[THC]AcidRain> just some cool interactive project to work on
[03:57] <[THC]AcidRain> perhaps something informative
[03:58] <alum1num> teddyroosebelt: you need to use terminal to move your firefox window to your other screen?
[03:58] <teddyroosebelt> sure do, because i have it set for seperate xscreens.
[03:58] <alum1num> [THC]AcidRain: a cell phone jammer? lol
[03:58] <[THC]AcidRain> hmmm
[03:59] <[THC]AcidRain> alum1num: already did that
[03:59] <[THC]AcidRain> turns out text bombing will lock up just about any cell phone. including my droid x
[03:59] <[THC]AcidRain> especially if its random msgs
[03:59] <alum1num> [THC]AcidRain: wow haha
[03:59] <[THC]AcidRain> or smiley messages ;)
[03:59] <tertl3> how do I logout from terminal?
[03:59] <[THC]AcidRain> and i bought a cool cell phone jammar off ebay
[03:59] <venol> helo, How I can create cron job to execute my script just for 5 minutes at 2.00 PM ?
[04:00] <goetter> has anyone heard of a host being unable to send multicast, even though it can receive it?
[04:00] <alum1num> [THC]AcidRain: try not to jam ur own phone haha
[04:00] <[THC]AcidRain> lol
[04:00] <goetter> i have ubuntu hosts A and B. tcpdump on A shows it sending a multicast to <IP_ADDRESS>
[04:00] <goetter> tcpdump on B shows it receiving that multicast, and sending its own
[04:00] <goetter> tcpdump on B does not show B's multicast
[04:00] <goetter> er on A
[04:00] <goetter> ;)
[04:01] <alum1num> teddyroosebelt: oh hmm i dont rly work with xscreens
[04:02] <Smee> can someone offer advice on an SFTP server using openssh? I have it installed, and can ssh, but sftp connections time out
[04:02] <[THC]AcidRain> anyone know a safe way to upgrade to the ubuntu 11.11 gnome gui from ubuntu 9.04
[04:02] <rww> !eol | [THC]AcidRain
[04:02] <[THC]AcidRain> rww: got noth8ing
[04:03] <rww> [THC]AcidRain: try /msg ubottu !eol. The bot's being stupid at me.
[04:03] <[THC]AcidRain> !eol
[04:03] <rww> there you go
[04:03] <teddyroosebelt> alum1num, not a problem. ty for your input anyways :)
[04:03] <[THC]AcidRain> i dont want to take anything off my system though...
[04:03] <DanaG> !find ipmi_smb
[04:03] <KrashKing> wrong X there
[04:04] <KrashKing> what do I need to do to keep from having to enter my password a million times a day?
[04:04] <centHOGG> on linux?
[04:04] <fyrfaktry> lulz
[04:04] <KrashKing> yeah
[04:05] <KrashKing> anytime I want to add a program, check updates, etc
[04:05] <alum1num> teddyroosebelt: sorry
[04:05] <KrashKing> PITA when setting up a new box
[04:05] <[THC]AcidRain> i want my desktop to loook like the 11.11 desktop. from 9.04
[04:06] <centHOGG> KrashKing: you can edit your sudoers
[04:06] <alum1num> KrashKing: lol thats linux for you XD at least ur secure
[04:06] <DanaG> visudo
[04:07] <DanaG> makes sure the syntax is correct, so you can't lock yourself out.
[04:07] <KrashKing> centHOGG: how
[04:07] <centHOGG> KrashKing: not too hard.. google on how to do it
[04:08] <alum1num> KrashKing: centHOGG's right you can edit your sudoers but I'd be careful on how you do it because if you never have to type in your password; you kinda defeat one of linux's security measures
[04:09] <KrashKing> I'm the only one who would use it
[04:09] <centHOGG> KrashKing: still linux has a lot of pwords
[04:09] <centHOGG> gotta get used to it
[04:09] <KrashKing> yeah
[04:09] <KrashKing> but I am the only user
[04:09] <alum1num> yep
[04:13] <gsilvers> #join
[04:13] <afeijo> hi folks
[04:13] <afeijo> how can I access a windows shared folder thru shell?
[04:13] <afeijo> I need to copy files there
[04:13] <centHOGG> mc
[04:14] <afeijo> only that way? I wanted to use rsync
[04:15] <chaddy> afeijo: I was wondering the same, got as far as the help ono smbclient
[04:15] <chaddy> s/ono/on/
[04:16] <afeijo> chaddy, I want to automatize daily backups :)
[04:16] <afeijo> it might need to mount the windows network drive
[04:18] <DanaG> hmm, so, does anyone know of a good realtime (or at least faster than Unison) file sync utility to sync from OS X to Ubuntu?
[04:18] <echosystm> anyone here using a macbook?
[04:19] <centHOGG> a bunch of scripting there
[04:21] <greg_brutal> can anyone help me a laptop issue? i had a hang/freeze occur at startup and then my fan was running full speed
[04:21] <centHOGG> has it ever happend before
[04:21] <greg_brutal> nope
[04:21] <greg_brutal> first time in two months
[04:21] <nezZario> If I select 'virtual machine host' when installing
[04:21] <nezZario> what on earth does that do?
[04:21] <nezZario> does that use xen or what?
[04:22] <centHOGG> greg_brutal: do you know how to get into your bios
[04:22] <ghufran> hi. is there a way to fix permissions for /var folder ? i accidentally changed all ownerships..
[04:22] <greg_brutal> centHOGG: yes i do :)
[04:22] <centHOGG> pop in there and verify thing ok
[04:23] <greg_brutal> wouldn't that require a reboot? or is there a way to do it via CLI?
[04:23] <centHOGG> idk
[04:24] <greg_brutal> lol, well I can always reboot and check things out from there :P
[04:24] <greg_brutal> thanks
[04:24] <centHOGG> np
[04:26] <guest_> Hey guys, Im locked out of my own account and had to log in as a guest cause Light gdm isnt owrking
[04:27] <guest_> how can i remove it via terminal?
[04:28] <enigmus> Has anyone made a SSH module or wrapper tool that would be capable of making SSH "more reactive/interactive" over slow links? In the same manner NX can be very interactive over slow links (much better than a SSH session over the same link).
[04:29] <guest_> Can anyone help please?
[04:30] <carbon357> guest : your ubuntu account or irc ?
[04:30] <Blue1> guest_: you could try renaming /etc/password and /etc/shadow
[04:30] <guest_> Ubuntu
[04:31] <guest_> no i think its just the Light gdm is crashing for some reason
[04:31] <guest_> id rather remove it via terminal now, but i dunno the command.  I had it bookmarked under my normal account too :/
[04:31] <Blue1> troll
[04:31] <carbon357> guest : boot with a live cd and change the password
[04:32] <guest_> whos a troll?
[04:32] <guest_> carbon357, You really think its the passwork?
[04:33] <[THC]AcidRain> cool. i just setup rythmweb
[04:33] <[THC]AcidRain> very nice plugin for rhythm box
[04:35] <carbon357> guest_: no now
[04:37] <guest_> Does anyone know how to remove Light GDM via terminal?
[04:38] <edbian> guest_: What is Light GDM?  GDM stands for gnome display manager.  I'm not aware of a light version.
[04:38] <guest_> edbian, Its what they are going to use in 11.10.  Ive been testing it and now it keeps crashing after a new update and wont let me into my normal login for some reason :/
[04:38] <Kreative`> guest_, you mean LightDM? In that case, it should be sudo apt-get remove lightdm, and then dpkg --reconfigure gdm
[04:39] <edbian> guest_: Are you using 11.10 ? If so ask in #ubuntu+1
[04:39] <guest_> Kreative`, o wow...my bad
[04:39] <Kreative`> Haha, it happens.
[04:39] <py9371> is a 73.78% a c or a c-?
[04:39] <guest_> makes sense if they named it my way though ahahha
[04:40] <Kreative`> c-
[04:40] <edbian> py9371: Depends on the scale the professor is using.  This is offtopic
[04:40] <bobweaver> Any one know anything about Making a splash screen for kubuntu ?
[04:40] <guest_> Kreative`, shit...umm, since i can only get into a guest account apparently i cant sudo?
[04:40] <Kreative`> Well, you kindave have to to set gdm back to default.. :P
[04:41] <Kreative`> Though, removing lightdm should set it as default
[04:41] <Kreative`> If you have no other dm installed, that is
[04:41] <guest_> nope just lightdm
[04:41] <guest_> though wouldnt removing it require sudo?
[04:41] <edbian> This should all be in #ubuntu+1
[04:41] <Kreative`> Ah, yes it would
[04:42] <Kreative`> lol
[04:42] <guest_> um using 11.04
[04:42] <guest_> damn....there has to be a way.
[04:42] <bobweaver> I have tried downloading a a tar file  changing all the permissions then changing out the pictures and renaming the new pictures to what the old ones are still nothing
[04:47] <edbian> bobweaver: What are you trying to do?
[04:47] <bobweaver> edbian, tring to make a splash screen for kubuntu
[04:48] <edbian> bobweaver: never done that :(
[04:50] <bobweaver> edbian, thanks
[04:50] <bobweaver> edbian, thanks any ways
[04:56] <fenjamin> hello
[04:57] <fenjamin> i've opened a pdf in gimp with the intentions of editing it, but nothing shows up when i click
[04:57] <fenjamin> im trying to type and nothing shows up
[04:58] <fenjamin> does anybody have experience with this?
[04:58] <Skudd> so i feel like a total n00b for asking this, but... somehow i just double clicked and lost all the titlebars for all my windows... how do i get them back?
[04:59] <bazhang> fenjamin, why not use pdfedit
[04:59] <bazhang> !info pdfedit | fenjamin
[05:00] <bazhang> Skudd, are you in 11.04 unity?
[05:00] <Skudd> 11.04, but not unity
[05:00] <bazhang> Skudd, what window decorator are you using
[05:01] <Skudd> i honestly can't remember and it's late enough in the day that i don't even remember how to check... i'm just trying to get a server migration done so i can get to bed :-/
[05:02] <fenjamin> oo
[05:02] <fenjamin> ok
[05:02] <wh1zz0> Sup folks
[05:02] <fenjamin> bazhang: thanks
[05:02] <nezZario> what the hell
[05:02] <bazhang> Skudd, what does alt f2 metacity --replace    do
[05:02] <nezZario> what's sshd's package name?
[05:02] <nezZario> linux is so confusing =)
[05:02] <YugYug> I just jumped on ubuntu today!
[05:02] <nezZario> all these different pkg managers
[05:02] <afeijo> is it possible to copy my HD content to a new hd, replacing where my ubuntu stand?
[05:03] <bazhang> afeijo, clone?
[05:03] <weizhao> hi,everybody, new here
[05:03] <vish> afeijo: yup, clone..
[05:03] <afeijo> bazhang, yes
[05:03] <Skudd> bazhang: that fixed it
[05:03] <Skudd> thanks
[05:03] <bazhang> afeijo, /msg ubottu clone   or perhaps clonezilla
[05:03] <afeijo> is it the app name, clone?
[05:03] <bazhang> afeijo, no
[05:04] <vish> !clone > afeijo
[05:04] <bazhang> nezZario, apt-cache search ssh
[05:04] <afeijo> cool
[05:04] <afeijo> thanks
[05:04] <afeijo> so I use it to install all I have to the new hd, then I copy my home folder?
[05:04] <wsagent> pls need help: "docky requires compositing to work pls enable compositing and restart docky"
[05:04] <bazhang> afeijo, its a clone, so it will copy everything
[05:05] <bazhang> wsagent, alt f2  compiz --replace    does what
[05:05] <afeijo> bazhang, here what ubottu sent me "To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing)"
[05:05] <afeijo> replicate packages dont sound as a full copy
[05:06] <fenjamin> bazhang: pdfedit is hard to use!
[05:06] <bazhang> afeijo, yes, thats different than clonezilla , which I also said
[05:06] <fenjamin> the UI is nuts
[05:06] <goetter> how painful is it to upgrade from ubuntu 8 to 10?
[05:06] <goetter> or 11...
[05:06] <wsagent> bazhang if i do that my theme get screwed
[05:06] <afeijo> bazhang, ubottu knows nothing about clonezilla
[05:06] <bazhang> goetter, which version of 8, there is not an 8
[05:06] <goetter> hardy. 8.04
[05:06] <bazhang> afeijo, thats right, go to their website
[05:07] <bazhang> !upgrade | goetter please read this
[05:07] <wsagent> bazhang: what i am doing now is , sudo metacity --replace and logout & login
[05:07] <bazhang> wsagent, there is no reason for sudo there
[05:07] <bazhang> wsagent, use alt f2
[05:08] <goetter> Is there no upgrade path from 8.04->10.04?
[05:08] <afeijo> bazhang, nice, I will test it
[05:08] <bazhang> goetter, you read the link? yes there is
[05:08] <afeijo> bazhang, I will purchase another 1 tb HD, not the same model, no problem right?
[05:08] <bazhang> afeijo, how can I guarantee that? thats hardware so no idea
[05:08] <afeijo> hehe
[05:09] <afeijo> I'll copy my linux partitions and see what happens
[05:09] <wsagent> bazhang: I did compiz --replace and my its refresh everything on my desktop
[05:09] <goetter> Link mentions 8.04 LTS only (Hardy Heron). I don't think I have Hardy Heron because I've never heard the word Heronbefore.
[05:09] <bazhang> wsagent, so restart the dock now
[05:09] <nezZario> why does it say there is no such device eth0
[05:09] <nezZario> when i clearly have an eth0
[05:09] <nezZario> when I, # ifup eth0 ?
[05:09] <bazhang> nezZario, what is "it"
[05:10] <nezZario> ubuntu.
[05:10] <dli> afeijo, like 'rsync -avxAH', you need to correct UUIDs after that, in /etc/fstab and grub
[05:10] <goetter> Also, this will need to be entirely commandline; the server is headless.
[05:10] <wsagent> bazhang : thanks a lot
[05:10] <bazhang> nezZario, first, its very hard to read when you hit enter every two words, second, why are you root
[05:10] <goetter> Without optical drive.
[05:10] <nezZario> well I put the # in there for demonstration purposes
[05:10] <bazhang> goetter, then read the server instructions on the link
[05:12] <goetter> Hmm..
[05:13] <goetter> Thank you.
[05:14] <Pwnna> ActionParsnip: k i'm compiling the kernel using kernel check.. would i need to still patch it with my old patch?
[05:15] <goetter> sudo do-release-upgrade yields: Failed Upgrade tool signature
[05:15] <goetter> And other failures.
[05:15] <nezZario> goetter: http://tinypic.com/r/2m4sqgz/7
[05:15] <nezZario> (sorry, I'm logged in via VNC and can't copy and paste the text)
[05:16] <goetter> nezZario: I don't get the relevance..
[05:16] <nezZario> relevance of what?
[05:16] <nezZario> wait..
[05:17] <nezZario> i'm really confused now..
[05:17] <nezZario> well, the ubuntu installer appeared to download packages from the network configuration I gave it
[05:18] <nezZario> it booted, and I have no network
[05:18] <nezZario> and it's acting like I'm lying to it when I'm attempting to bring up the network
[05:19] <StepNjump> Has anyone tried Gnome 3 to replace unity yetÉ
[05:20] <StepNjump> Has anyone tried Gnome 3 to replace unity yet?
[05:23] <ActionParsnip> StepNjump: gnome3 won't replace unity
[05:23] <ActionParsnip> StepNjump: unity isn't a DE
[05:23] <bazhang> StepNjump, the gnome3 ppa is not supported, and breaks things
[05:24] <bazhang> !gnome3 | StepNjump
[05:24] <StepNjump> http://blog.sudobits.com/2011/04/26/how-to-install-gnome-3-on-ubuntu-11-04/
[05:24] <bazhang> StepNjump, we know. its still offtopic and not supported here.
[05:25] <StepNjump> ok so you guys don't suggest I install it then
[05:25] <ActionParsnip> StepNjump: unity is only a shell. It runs in a gnome desktop and uses compiz as the WM
[05:25] <bazhang> StepNjump, did you not just see the huge warning factoid above?
[05:25] <StepNjump> no I just logged on
[05:25] <ActionParsnip> !gnome3 | StepNjump
[05:25] <bazhang> StepNjump, you were already here. I tab completed your nick
[05:26] <StepNjump> let me read back
[05:26] <StepNjump> thanks guys
[05:28] <StepNjump> well, I did a search under factoid... Nothing found. Guess I really wasn,t here.. What was his warning about gnome 3?
[05:28] <bazhang> StepNjump: Gnome 3 is not currently supported on Ubuntu. A PPA for natty is available at https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 but these packages are EXPERIMENTAL and UNSTABLE, will break Unity and possibly other parts of your system, and cannot be downgraded safely.
[05:28] <bazhang> StepNjump, look up^
[05:28] <wh1zz0> Does anyone have a really good guide on how to understand man pages
[05:28] <bazhang> wh1zz0, get them online
[05:28] <wh1zz0> I know typing man man brings something up.. But
[05:29] <wh1zz0> Yeah ryt.. thanx bazhang
[05:29] <goetter> anyone know how to start debugging the problem of one host believing it's sending a multicast to <IP_ADDRESS>, and another host connected by a l2 switch not receiving?
[05:29] <StepNjump> bazhang you are studdering
[05:29] <bazhang> StepNjump, pardon?
[05:29] <goetter> total mystery to me :/
[05:29] <StepNjump> bien oui mon ami. Tu te répètes. Je ne suis pas con
[05:30] <dibblego> is there a command to change the country code used in /etc/apt/sources.list?
[05:31] <HackNewton> hi all
[05:31] <bazhang> dibblego, a command? like sed?
[05:31] <dibblego> bazhang: wasn't sure if there was anything more specific than sed
[05:31] <bazhang> dibblego, much easier to select in synaptic package manager
[05:31] <dibblego> bazhang: I want to script it
[05:32] <bazhang> dibblego, you could certainly edit the sources.list that way though
[05:33] <nezZario> why, why is ubuntu renaming my interfaces randomly?
[05:34] <hamed> hi
[05:34] <HackNewton> hi hamed
[05:37] <graalgonstruckt> Could anyone tell me how I could view / read .code files?
[05:38] <nezZario> seriously wtf
[05:38] <nezZario> this is why I don't use linux on a day to day basis
[05:39] <nezZario> Ubuntu: "eth0 is so old fashioned, let's just call it eth1."
[05:40] <dibblego> is there a command to see what distribution you're on?
[05:40] <Pwnna> uname
[05:40] <Pwnna> uname -a?
[05:40] <bazhang> dibblego, lsb_release -a
[05:40] <Pwnna> uname -r
[05:40] <dibblego> that's him, lsb_release, thanks
[05:40] <bazhang> Pwnna, thats kernel not version
[05:40] <Pwnna> hm
[05:41] <Pwnna> i thought distros tag their stuff there
[05:41] <Pwnna> huh
[05:41] <nezZario> dibblego: cat /etc/issue
[05:41] <nezZario> it'll usually give you a soft/cushy name, like Ubuntu 10.04.02 LTS
[05:42] <dibblego> I need lsb_release -r -s but thanks
[05:42] <nezZario> other than "somekernel-<IP_ADDRESS>.<IP_ADDRESS>.4 SMP (somekernel) Fri Apr 20, 1969 Ice:Cream:Man UTC"
[05:43] <Pwnna> lol
[05:43] <bazhang> Pwnna, ?
[05:43] <ActionParsnip> dibblego: lsb_release -d   usually does it ;)
[05:43] <Pwnna> 1969
[05:44] <Pwnna> heh
[05:44] <tertl3> I am over the moon
[05:45] <joako> What's the ubuntu way to set/reset mysql root pw?
[05:45] <nezZario> joako: it's going to be the same everywhere
[05:45] <ActionParsnip> joako: http://www.absolutelytech.com/2010/07/01/howto-reset-mysql-root-password-on-ubuntu-when-youve-forgotten-it/
[05:45] <kaellan> hi, whats the full location of the text editor?
[05:45] <nezZario> start mysqld with --skip-grant-tables and manually update the `mysql`.`user` table
[05:45] <ActionParsnip> kaellan: which one?
[05:46] <bazhang> kaellan, which gedit ?
[05:46] <ActionParsnip> kaellan: I can name about 6 without effort
[05:46] <joako> ActionParsnip, Yes I already follow those same exact steps, and I still can not access mysql either from phpMyAdmin or the CLI
[05:46] <ActionParsnip> kaellan: if you run:    which gedit      it will show the location of the gedit binary, obviously you can change gedit to whichever editor you want
[05:47] <bazhang> ActionParsnip, he quit
[05:47] <kaellan> the standard one nemaed text editor :)
[05:47] <ActionParsnip> joako: could ask in #mysql too
[05:47] <ActionParsnip> bazhang: thanks
[05:47] <ActionParsnip> kaellan: if you run:    which gedit      it will show the location of the gedit binary, obviously you can change gedit to whichever editor you want
[05:47] <ActionParsnip> kaellan: I beleive it's gedit which you ae referring
[05:48] <vin_> I'm putting a light bulb inside my house, and I wanted to know how I can make the room dark. Do I have to use coal power for dark light and wind power for white light?
[05:48] <kaellan> just need annything to make scripts in :)
[05:48] <bazhang> vin_, thats not an  ubuntu support issue, is it
[05:48] <vin_> i guess not..
[05:48] <rww> vin_: #ubuntu exists for all your Ubuntu technical support needs. #ubuntu-offtopic exists for all your flashlight and other light-related needs.
[05:49] <vin_> Which type of energy is my ubuntu running on? White energy or dark energy?
[05:49] <vin_> does*
[05:49] <vin_> jp jp
[05:49] <dee27> which directory programs are installed in?
[05:49] <Wally> i think you want #minecraft
[05:49] <vin_> /usr/bin
[05:49] <bazhang> vin_, thats enough please
[05:50] <Wally> Vin energy saving light bulb
[05:50] <Wally> ?
[05:50] <ActionParsnip> kaellan: you can use gedit to make scripts, it will highlight syntax too ;)

[05:51] <bazhang> Wally, as its already there, that'll do nothing

[05:56] <wsagent_> ubuntu always asking for distro upgrade.... I am using ubuntu 10.10 with macubuntu theme and lots of apps installed in it ... will there be any problem in upgrading the distro  ?
[06:00] <abhijeet> wsagent_, it completly depend on your machine.. I did the upgrade from the 10.10 to 11.04 and unable to boot to the machine.. If you hate unity or do't want to redo all the installation, I will suggest to stick to 10.10.
[06:00] <abhijeet> it's my personal opnion
[06:01] <wsagent_> abhijeet: really i hate unity and Love ubuntu 10.10 and just wondering is there any possibility to disable the distro upgrade reminders
[06:02] <vikapi> ubuntu will stick on to unity or will they upgrade to gnome 3?
[06:02] <brainwave92> gnome 3 i guess? shouldnt they?
[06:03] <abhijeet> vikapi, ubuntu will have unity as default but gnome 3 will be there
[06:03] <Omega> vikapi: 11.10 uses gnome 3
[06:03] <vikapi> unity and gnome3 are almost similar.. will one be able to make out the difference??
[06:03] <abhijeet> wsagent_, I have no idea how to stop it .. guys any suggestion how to stop the auto upgrade
[06:04] <joako__> what's the ubuntu way to do "init 3"?
[06:04] <Wally> bazhang: we were discussing in the other chan.. Do you have cats?
[06:07] <DizzyLizzy> Fresh install of 11.04. How do I turn off this bleeding eye-candy
[06:07] <DizzyLizzy> I can't find any compiz or desktop-effects settings anywhere
[06:07] <joako_> As far as I can tell there's no easy way to make Ubuntu run in text-only mode, is that correct?
[06:07] <Besogon> Anybody! Does anyone know What the samba-client package is for? I know cold answer that it is a virtual package, but what it actually can do? What is the difference between it and the samba package?
[06:09] <HackNewton> joako_,  you are wrong ! but depend on your ubuntu expertise this task may be easy or hard for you
[06:09] <eagleserver> Besogon, as far as i know samba is the actual server and samba client is so you can log onto windows fileservers
[06:10] <Besogon> I'm interest if samba-client package allows make shares?
[06:10] <joako_> HackNewton, In EVERY OTHER linux you can type "init 3" or "telinit 3" to go to commandline only/ no graphics mode. From what I've been able to gather, it seems the closest in Ubuntu is to RESTART with the kernel flag "text"
[06:10] <Besogon> eagleserver,
[06:10] <joako_> Besogon, No it's the client. You would want the samba server to do that.
[06:10] <nezZario> where would I get the source for the 2.6.32-29-generic kernel?
[06:10] <eagleserver> DizzyLizzy, install ccsm from packet manager
[06:11] <lintux> joako_: not sure how to go back gui but alt -f2
[06:11] <Besogon> joako_, ok. then I'll use samba server
[06:11] <joako_> lintux, But the entire point is I am running ubuntu inside a virtual machine. I want to disable the GUI to save memory. Pressing alt-f2 will only swtich to a text console, the gui is still running.
[06:12] <lintux> oh
[06:12] <nezZario> well, what's the funny little name for ubuntu 10.04 ?
[06:12] <brainwave92> joako_ you can use recovery mode
[06:12] <nezZario> hardy, lucid, ?
[06:12] <brainwave92> Maverick meerckat
[06:13] <brainwave92> ?
[06:13] <joako_> brainwave92, But why do I need to reboot the system. In every other linux you can stop and start the GUI at will.
[06:13] <jlindstorff> joaka_: If you can do a new install then use the server version and install minimal-virtual
[06:14] <brainwave92> jlindstorff, its gonna be simpler than that!
[06:14] <brainwave92> joako_ i did a hack once to start in cli and switch to gui when i want
[06:14] <brainwave92> what i did then was move the script which started the gdm out of its folder...
[06:15] <brainwave92> and all i needed to do to run the gui was start the script
[06:15]  * Kreative` is away: Away
[06:15] <brainwave92> i bet even ubuntu has an easy system to d othat
[06:16] <brainwave92> nezZario, lucid lynx it seems
[06:16] <zykotick9> joako, "sudo service gdm stop" to stop it temporarily.  What version of Ubuntu are you running (not sure it matters)?   Check the file /etc/init/gdm.conf and see if you can disable the upstart process from there (not sure it applies/works).
[06:17] <nezZario> uh, seriously?
[06:17] <nezZario> where do I find kernel sources for this kernel, 2.6.32-29-generic ?
[06:17] <nezZario> kernel.org doesn't have it
[06:19] <eagleserver> nezZario, should be able to get them with apt-get
[06:19] <zykotick9> joako, you might be able to disable gdm by renaming the init script, like /etc/init/gdm.conf to /etc/init/gdm.disabled  something else to test anyways.
[06:20] <nezZario> eagleserver: any idea what the kernel source pkg's look like? e.x apt-get source ...??
[06:20] <nezZario> trying to find one, but not finding them
[06:21] <nosa-j> good day
[06:22] <eagleserver> i just found this variable.. make it work for you perhaps.   kernel-source-2.4.27

[06:29] <VxQe> Also that.
[06:29] <prathamb> my wireless is not working

[06:34] <prathamb> 11.04

[06:34] <abhijeet> prathamb, ohh
[06:34] <luckysmack> anyone willing to help me figure out why i cant manage to get audio to work. Fresh install of Natty. using 'lshw' my hardware is 'MCP55 High Definition Audio' by Nvidia.
[06:35] <abhijeet> prathamb, your hot keys are working fine for volume rocker and brightness
[06:35] <Besogon> prathamb, hm... there was some tool.. give me a second. May be I'll find
[06:35] <prathamb> yea
[06:35] <abhijeet> ok
[06:35] <prathamb> no problem with hotkeys
[06:35] <luckysmack> ive tried all different manner of audio settings but theyre set to what they have always been set to. but still it doesnt work.
[06:35] <prathamb> it says i have to update sta wireless driver update
[06:36] <abhijeet> prathamb, update it.
[06:36] <entropy> hello?
[06:36] <abhijeet> prathamb, many wifi drive are closed and do not come with ubuntu.. installl that ... i think it will work for you
[06:36] <prathamb> yea maybe
[06:36] <prathamb> thx
[06:36] <abhijeet> wc
[06:36] <prathamb> i need to update the driver thats all
[06:37] <abhijeet> yeah.. then just reboot
[06:38] <entropy> I am new to ubuntu. i just installed it and wanted the cube. i bet thats a surprize but i got compiz and now my systems and applications drop downs are gone. can someone tell me how to get them back?
[06:39] <kinections> hello, i'm having some problems with a sacnner, when i run `scanimage -L` with sudo, it works, however i get a permission error when i try it just normally, or even as the saned user. ls -l on /dev/usb/hiddev0 shows that it is owned by the saned group...
[06:40] <kinections> googling has a whole bunch of posts advising that you add the user to the 'scanner' group... there is *no* scanner group (I am using maverick)
[06:41] <kinections> anybody have any clues on what to do here?
[06:45] <abhijeet> entropy, what do you mean by drop downs are gone
[06:45] <kinections> nvm, strace figured it out
[06:45] <tertl3> how do I get the size of a folder from the terminal?
[06:45] <vikapi> tertl3: du -sh [directoryname]
[06:46] <Besogon> prathamb, try rfkill list
[06:46] <tertl3> vikapi, ah thanks :)
[06:47] <Besogon> prathamb, that tool could unlock wifi
[06:48] <Guest67264> system monitor says my sda5 partition is 29GB w/3GB used....yet gparted says 105GB w/79GB used. anyone know which one is correct?
[06:49] <luckysmack> anyone willing to help figure out why I cant get sound to work? cant seem to figure it out
[06:52] <tertl3> luckysmack, in flash or elsewhere?
[06:52] <luckysmack> anywhere
[06:52] <luckysmack> well wait
[06:52] <Guest67264> when i type df -kh i also get that my sda5 partition is 30GB, i can't understand why gparted lists it as 105GB w/79GB used
[06:53] <luckysmack> tertl3, yea everywhere
[06:53] <tertl3> luckysmack, did you use the volumecontrol and configure it?
[06:53] <tertl3> pavucontrol
[06:54] <luckysmack> yea. well from the sound preferences.
[06:54] <luckysmack> trying that one now
[06:54] <nezZario> is it possible to modprobe load a /file/
[06:54] <nezZario> not in /lib/modules/...
[06:54] <nezZario> e.x. modprobe /path/to/mod
[06:55] <DizzyLizzy> Well that was an exercise in futility. What I really wanted was the Login-screen option "Ubuntu Classic (No Effects)". Screw compiz.
[06:55] <nezZario> nevermind, had to use modprobe to remove, insmod to add
[06:56] <DizzyLizzy> thanks for the help y'all! I hope this is the beginning of a rocky, but good friendship.
[06:56] <entropy> i used this link to try and get my system and application panels back. it worked for a second but the file edit view history bookmarks tools and help panel are in the way
[06:56] <entropy> http://www.watchingthenet.com/restore-panels-in-ubuntu-back-to-their-default-settings.html
[06:57] <nezZario> awesome.
[06:57] <entropy> how do i move or get rid of the file edit view history bookmarks tools and help panels?
[06:57] <luckysmack> tertl3, in pavucontrol on output devices it shows audio playing (the moving audio bar for sound levels) but nothing is playing through the speakers.
[06:58] <luckysmack> on configuration its set to 'Analog Stero Duplex' which is what it was always set to when it worked
[06:58] <tertl3> luckysmack, try typing pulseaudio ---start
[07:00] <luckysmack> doesnt seem to have an effect. there was no output from the command. so no error
[07:01] <tertl3> luckysmack, idk
[07:02] <tertl3> luckysmack, alsamixer
[07:02] <nezZario> so ok
[07:02] <nezZario> i wish they would put up a big freaking sign "UFS WRITE SUPPORT BROKEN"
[07:02] <nezZario> before i went and did all that..
[07:02] <cyberbob> I have fresh installation of Kubuntu 10.10 (64bit)

[07:05] <tertl3> luckysmack, i'm not sure, maybe reboot and keep trying
[07:07] <luckysmack> tertl3, yea thats what i was trying before. ill keep trying though. odd, its always just worked for me. even on the last 11.04 install.
[07:08] <tertl3> luckysmack, are you on a fresh install?
[07:09] <luckysmack> ive installed a few things, but yea for the most part. just installed it yesterday
[07:09] <tertl3> luckysmack, do you need a Google+ invite? :P
[07:10] <luckysmack> hrmm, hadnt even really thought about trying it to be honest. heh. but ill try one out. sure.
[07:10] <luckysmack> could be interesting
[07:10] <tertl3> luckysmack, i am not impressed with it so far, but if you want an invite I'll need your preferred email
[07:11] <luckysmack> tertl3, thanks for trying to help, btw. appreciate it
