[10:44] <HDroid> What nvidia driver version should I expect when using (post-release updates) (version current-updates)? nvidia-settings shows 280.13 which is a bit old.
[10:44] <ikonia> subthalamus: it's mounted in fuser, userspace, not in fstab
[10:44] <subthalamus> it keeps mounting read only
[10:45] <DarkStar1> MonkeyDust: you can't you get folied by the OTN agreement
[10:46] <subthalamus> i have tried //<IP_ADDRESS>/share   /path_to/mount   cifs   guest,_netdev   0 0
[10:46] <subthalamus> /<IP_ADDRESS>/share   /path_to/mount   cifs   defaults   0 0
[10:46] <subthalamus> ikonia: I'm not sure how that helps me..?
[10:46] <MonkeyDust> subthalamus  try NFS, not CIFS
[10:47] <subthalamus> I dont have control over the windows box
[10:47] <subthalamus> at least not easily right now
[10:47] <subthalamus> actually, he just told me its XP

[10:49] <woozly> guys, when I try to install Ubuntu
[10:49] <woozly> I can't tap on Next button
[10:49] <woozly> because my monitor 9"
[10:49] <woozly> and window size > monitor dimension
[10:49] <woozly> how to click Next button? :)))
[10:50] <MonkeyDust> woozly  use tab on your keyboard
[10:50] <mao123> good

[10:52] <yellabs-r2> hello there , how would i get libexpat.so.0 in my natty system ?
[10:52] <yellabs-r2> any tips are welcome
[10:53] <mao123> what is the "tips?"
[10:53] <Marzata> what will be the new "unity" in 12.04?
[10:54] <mao123> who know qq for linux??
[10:56] <fidel> Marzata: what do you mean by "what"? version?
[10:58] <fidel> anyone into current laser-printer models which might come with full driver support for ubuntu?
[10:59] <mao123> what conutry are your?
[10:59] <fidel> i am kinda lost in the linux-printer-support-area - as i personly dont use printers at all - but am in need to get one for a non-tech-interested friend
[10:59] <fidel> mao123: this chat limits itself to ubuntu-related topics. general chat is usualy in the offtopic channel
[11:03] <zvacet> fidel: see if https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers helps
[11:06] <fidel> thanks zvacet - but it has no real context for single models and is at least partly outdated i guess
[11:07] <jamjam> !cluster
[11:07] <bastidrazor> yellabs-r2: that file does not exist in natty.
[11:07] <fidel> i hoped canonical might maintain some kind of list of compatible devices (similar to laptop modells) but seems like they didnt
[11:08] <Salaria> hi i downloaded a theme from net.. i want to install it . how to install? im using ubuntu 10.04
[11:09] <dury> hi there channel :)
[11:09] <tomgeorge> Are there any tutorials or books for Glade Interface Designer?
[11:09] <Noobyguy> Hey guys, is there any way to stop Mono from running? It's now running 3 of them at once and its taking up all the resources
[11:10] <dury> tomgeorge: http://glade.gnome.org/
[11:11] <zvacet> fidel:  try http://linuxhcl.com/browse/search
[11:11] <tomgeorge> dury, been through that...
[11:11] <peterflocke76> Hi, how cna i delete all entrys in my routing table? i dont want to delete all by using sudo route del <ip adress>
[11:11] <fidel> zvacet: thanks once again
[11:12] <tomgeorge> need something simpler or at least  from a different perspective..
[11:12] <zvacet> fidel: np
[11:12] <appi_uppi> how to check the firewall status in ubuntu without sudo?
[11:12] <dury> tomgeorge: all right.. it's not enough for u?
[11:13] <tomgeorge> dury, no I want something with examples...
[11:13] <zvacet> appi_uppi: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW
[11:13] <dury> tomgeorge: I know what u mean
[11:13] <appi_uppi> zvacet: thank you
[11:13] <zvacet> appi_uppi: np
[11:13] <MonkeyDust> Salaria  i have 10.04 in vbox -- right click on the desktop, Theme - Install
[11:14] <appi_uppi> zvacet: i think the link doesn't mention anything about ::: services ufw status
[11:14] <Marzata> fidel: what unity? once were the buttons on the right, than came some unity, ...
[11:15] <fidel> Marzata: 12.04 comes with an updated unity version
[11:15] <Salaria> thanks. it worked MonkeyDust  :)
[11:15] <fidel> consider checking the package list if you are interested in the version-number
[11:15] <fidel> i stil ldont get what you are really asking for
[11:15] <zvacet> appi_uppi:  you have to scroll little bit  sudo ufw status
[11:15] <Marzata> if we upgrade 10.04 to 12.04 will we be forced to use unity?
[11:15] <appi_uppi> oh yeah
[11:15] <fidel> Marzata: no
[11:16] <fidel> Marzata: you can always choose what desktop env you want to use - unity is just the default
[11:16] <MonkeyDust> Marzata  unity is just the default, you can easily change it - i do
[11:16] <fidel> Marzata: if you prefer kde - install it- if you prefer gnome-shell ..install it ....i think you got the idea
[11:16] <appi_uppi> zvacet: thnx zvacet again..... i had already checked the link but without sudo i was trying to know the status
[11:16] <zvacet> Marzata: witch DE do you use
[11:17] <Marzata> fidel: we have nice desktops from 10.04, but once upgrade to 12.04 what will happened?
[11:17] <zvacet> appi_uppi: so now eveeryhing is o.k.?
[11:17] <fidel> Marzata: the clock will still tick ;)
[11:17] <fidel> Marzata: ask a real question
[11:17] <MonkeyDust> !nounity| Marzata
[11:18] <appi_uppi> zvacet: yes yes :)
[11:18] <Marzata> 10.04 to 12.04, the desktop will be the same or no?
[11:18] <zvacet> appi_uppi:  8-)
[11:18] <MonkeyDust> Marzata  no, 10.04 uses gnome2, 12.04 gnome3
[11:18] <auronandace> Marzata: gnome2 will be dropped, plain and simple
[11:19] <dury> I want to know if 11.10 release will detect webcams
[11:19] <Marzata> so we have to teach our users to the new interface?
[11:19] <MonkeyDust> Marzata  yes
[11:19] <auronandace> Marzata: gnome2 is no longer supported by the gnome devs
[11:19] <dury> in a laptop or desktop boxes
[11:19] <fidel> dury: it will detect at least some out of the box
[11:19] <Marzata> we spent 2 years to make their minds move to this interface...
[11:19] <MonkeyDust> Marzata  ubuntu classic looks very much like gnome2, but it *is* gnome3
[11:20] <cray> Hello, can someone please help me edit my boot order in grub.cfg. I`m on an old grub because I`m running linuxcnc but I have opened grub.cfg and I just don`t understand what to change. I can`t pastebin because it is on another computer with no net access.
[11:20] <fidel> Marzata: well - gnome 3 isnt totally different , and there are other options like xfce aswell
[11:20] <auronandace> Marzata: 2 years is a long time in software
[11:20] <dury> fidel: connected by usb port?
[11:20] <Marzata> auronandace: it depends how old you are, son
[11:20] <dury> fidel: or what?
[11:20] <Noobyguy> Guys i need to know quick how you kill the Mono process ;_;
[11:20] <cray> grub is 1.98 - I can see XP which I want to boot first and see the other options, I just can`t see anything regarding the order!
[11:20] <fidel> dury: you asked a pretty general question without real hardware-context
[11:20] <MonkeyDust> Noobyguy  ps -e Mono
[11:21] <MonkeyDust> Noobyguy  ps -e | grep Mono
[11:21] <fidel> so i cant tell you if your modell - which you havent even mentioned afaik works directly after install or not
[11:21] <jrib> cray: I'll send you the ubuntu grub link, but this channel is only for ubuntu support; we can't support linuxnc
[11:21] <jrib> !grub > cray
[11:22] <claudio> Hi. I'm using Upstart to run my program, but I'd like to rely on Redis being already started. Redis is not under Upstart (and I'd like it to remain this way). How could I "start on" depending on another non-upstarted process?
[11:22] <zvacet> cray: do you want to change boot order?
[11:22] <cray> Yes...
[11:22] <cray> I`ve done it before years ago and it was simply a case of changing something in this file, just can`t remeber what!!
[11:22] <jrib> claudio: try #upstart
[11:23] <dury> fidel: for instance... in a laptop the webcam it's integrated. will it detect?
[11:23] <zvacet> cray: install startup manager and with it do what you want to do
[11:23] <auronandace> Marzata: starting with 12.04 the lts releases get 5 years support, that is rather reasonable
[11:23] <fidel> dury: as i told you before: - it might depend on the hardware / webcam modell
[11:23] <Noobyguy> ps -e | grep mono gives me 14259 ?        01:53:27 mono 14415 ?        01:55:34 mono
[11:23] <MonkeyDust> Noobyguy  then kill 14259
[11:24] <fidel> dury: it detected the inbuild wevcam in the last 3 laptops i had in my fingers - which still doenst cover your question - as it is too general
[11:24] <cray> zvacet - ~~OK , I don`t understand why everyone and all the google links tell me to install something. It is a hastle since the computer is not connected to the net. I did it just by simply editing so,mething last time!!
[11:24] <auronandace> Marzata: another year to go for 10.04 desktop support to end, so you still have time to transitiom
[11:24] <auronandace> transition
[11:24] <claudio> jrib, thx!
[11:24] <Noobyguy> Great thanks alot
[11:25] <cray> is there a reason I can no longer edit the boot order just by manually editing this grub.cfg file??
[11:25] <fidel> dury: to make sure you might need to go the step from a general question -> to a hardware-specific question. So check what webcam might be in that specific laptop and then start the search for support over again
[11:25] <jrib> cray: you're on linuxnc; we can't tell you.  This channel is for ubuntu support only
[11:25] <auronandace> cray: grub.cfg is generated from the files in /etc/grub.d/ you are meant to edit those and then issue update-grub
[11:26] <zvacet> cray:I think on http://members.iinet.net/~herman546/index.html you will find whaty are you looking for
[11:26] <cray> jrib - linuxcnc is just a programme no???
[11:26] <dury> fidel: well... can you  use it with skype... does it work?
[11:26] <jrib> cray: it's a distro, is it not?
[11:26] <fidel> dury: i dont use skype
[11:26] <dury> fidel: all right
[11:27] <cray> jrib - what is a distro?
[11:27] <jrib> cray: how did you install your linux?
[11:27] <fidel> we need a wiki-plugin for the bot ;)
[11:27] <zvacet> dury: boot live cd and see if your webcam is working
[11:28] <cray> I went on the internet and downloaded an iso
[11:28] <cray> burnt to disk and then installed
[11:28] <dury> zvacet: it doesn't
[11:29] <jrib> cray: an iso of what? From where?
[11:29] <Bndrr> I'm trying to run a program called Pokerth, but i cant establish connexion, someone know why or know this program for linux ??
[11:30] <fidel> Bndrr: is that some kind of browser game or where did you get the package/src from?
[11:30] <zvacet> cray: try on  #linuxcnc
[11:30] <fidel> Bndrr: dont expect we know some random game - feed us with some informations which might help us helping you ;)
[11:30] <Bndrr> from the website www.pokerth.net
[11:30] <MonkeyDust> Bndrr  i have it too, click on one of the non-local option, then click Create user account
[11:31] <Bndrr> It works for windows
[11:31] <Bndrr> but i cant establish a connection in linux
[11:31] <MonkeyDust> Bndrr  pokerth is in the ubuntu repos
[11:31] <Bndrr> yesi have installed
[11:31] <engkur> cray: did you want setup linuxcnc ?
[11:31] <ikonia> Bndrr: that website works fine in linux
[11:31] <Bndrr> yes the same here
[11:32] <ikonia> Bndrr: it's more likley you don't have dns setup correctly in linux or something like that
[11:32] <subthalamus> ikonia: the answer was to add "file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777" in the options in the fstab
[11:32] <Bndrr> I'm trying to Internet game
[11:32] <harold> say my nvidia drivers are screwing up... and on TTY1 I'm doing stuff, what can I do to essentially restart tty7 after doing things in tty1?
[11:32] <Bndrr> how can I check the dns for this game ?
[11:32] <ikonia> subthalamus: that will still use the ntfs kernel module rather than fuse
[11:32] <ikonia> Bndrr: do other websites work ?
[11:32] <Bndrr> browser works fine.
[11:33] <Bndrr> is just this app
[11:33] <subthalamus> ikonia: dont understand the relevance
[11:33] <rAg3-nix> harold: [ctrl][alt]F7
[11:33] <subthalamus> ikonia: I wanted to mount the share permanently without credentials and with RW
[11:33] <windowsmaker> Hello peoplehi
[11:33] <subthalamus> ikonia: this accomplishes that
[11:33] <windowsmaker> hi
[11:33] <Bndrr> someone can Givme an IP for this game ??
[11:33] <ikonia> subthalamus: the kernel module is not stable for read/write functionliaty
[11:34] <ikonia> Bndrr: you don't need an IP if dns is working
[11:34] <windowsmaker> need help
[11:34] <subthalamus> ikonia: ok, thanks, can u point me to a howto for switching to fuse then?
[11:34] <harold> rAg3-nix: ... yeah, but how can, for an instance, log it out?
[11:34] <ikonia> subthalamus: it's userspace, not /etc/fstab global as I said earlier
[11:34] <Bndrr> I see all the time an error during the connexion
[11:34] <Bndrr> for Internet game,
[11:34] <windowsmaker> hi need help
[11:35] <ikonia> windowsmaker: ask a question then
[11:35] <rAg3-nix> harold: i dnt understand , rephrase ?
[11:35] <windowsmaker> ikonia: i do not need a question i need an answer
[11:35] <ikonia> windowsmaker: to give you an answer, we need to know the question
[11:35] <Kre10s> what app is responsible for locking the screen in ubuntu?
[11:35] <windowsmaker> okay
[11:35] <ikonia> ooh what a surprise, Lars
[11:35] <Bndrr> This is the msg, conexion closed by server
[11:35] <Bndrr> any idea? pokerth
[11:35] <windowsmaker> ikonia: hehe that is true i know
[11:36] <Kre10s> its neither xscreensaver of xlock...
[11:36] <subthalamus> ikonia: um, I know the difference between userspace and kernel space, but I've avoided fuse when possible supposedly because of performance issues
[11:36] <windowsmaker> ikonia: i have read your sentence wrong
[11:36] <windowsmaker> ikonia: what surprise? i am not lars
[11:36] <windowsmaker> well i set up ubuntu on an old machine but it is rery slow. what can i do
[11:37] <harold> rAg3-nix: sorry - i guess I'll get to the point: my nvidia drivers are acting up. I want to start using the non-proprietary ones -- how can I do this? which conf file would I have to edit?
[11:38] <Bndrr> I have this issue in pokerth someone know how to help ? http://i40.tinypic.com/2aj5nnk.png
[11:38] <engkur> windowmaker: using debian, much light than ubuntu, suitable for ram 128mb text mode
[11:39] <ikonia> engkur: nonsense, they are pretty much the same running in text mode
[11:40] <engkur> ikonia, or using old distro
[11:41] <_255> Hello folks!
[11:42] <_255> After I had Ubuntu installed at my machine when I restart it follows directly to the bios, what could that be?
[11:42] <jamjam> I'm currently reading about limits.conf, how can i set chromium to highest priority? like this? >> chromium-browser hard priority 100
[11:42] <ikonia> _255: nothing to do with ubuntu, sounds like your motherboard has a fault or someone is leaning on the keyboard
[11:43] <_255> ikonia, is there a way to test it?
[11:43] <dury> zvacet: what are the webcam brands that are suitable for ubuntu?
[11:43] <jatt> how do I get the screen resolution using the command line?
[11:43] <ikonia> _255: unplug the keyboard, if it still goes straight to the bios, suggest you contact the vendor
[11:43] <ikonia> jatt: xrandr
[11:43] <ikonia> !hcl | dury
[11:44] <songxk> Hello
[11:44] <_255> ikonia, ok, thanx
[11:44] <jamjam> anyone familiar with limits.conf? is this correct? >> chromium-browser hard priority 100
[11:45] <jamjam> to set chromium higher priority?
[11:45] <zvacet> dury: see on http://linuxhcl.com/browse/search
[11:46] <dury> zvacet: all right really appreciate it .-)
[11:46] <dury> zvacet: :-)
[11:46] <zvacet> dury:np
[11:47] <harold> how do I kill my TTY7?
[11:47] <harold> I recall it was something like ctrl + alt + bkspc
[11:47] <harold> need to basically restart x (but tty7 is sort of being unresponsive)
[11:48] <harold> (so that means i can't just gracefully do it)
[11:48] <Bndrr> someone know this : OpenSSH 5.3p1 Debian 3ubuntu7 (protocol 2.0)
[11:48] <Bndrr> ?
[11:48] <OerHeks> harold, ctrl + alt + backspace is replaced with " ctrl + printscreen + K "
[11:48] <zvacet> harold: that command is replaced with other one but O can remember right now
[11:49] <shnatsel> OerHeks: Ctrl+Alt+PrintScreen+K
[11:50] <Bndrr> all the fingers in the keyboard, løl
[11:50] <shnatsel> OerHeks: Alt is needed because many DEs intercept Ctrl+PrintScreen+...
[11:50] <OerHeks> shnatsel, sorry, forgot the alt ?
[11:51] <OerHeks> anyway, it is not the clean way to end a session
[11:51] <Bndrr> someone know this : OpenSSH 5.3p1 Debian 3ubuntu7 (protocol 2.0)?
[11:51] <shnatsel> OerHeks: but it's reliable ;)

[12:21] <ezoe> I wonder why they removed mono from 12.04. Is there a document for explaining the background?
[12:22] <physically_fit> i'm having a problem with my Wired Connection: i have to start it manually (click on its name). why is this happening? i tried to create the connection again and the issue remains. this is happening in 12.04 but maybe a general solution could help me.
[12:22] <ezoe> My guess is Mono is not free enough.
[12:22] <ikonia> physically_fit: wrong channel here too
[12:23] <MonkeyDust> ezoe  physically_fit better ask in #ubuntu+1

[12:23] <anathema_> hi is there any way to upgrade samba in 10.10? (I know that the support is ended but I need to upgrade samba because of the new vulnerability)
[12:25] <despe70> I've updated my /etc/syslog.conf - how can I now restart syslog or reload that new config?
[12:26] <GeForce88> nvclock 0.8b4-1ubuntu6 causes seg fault when attempting to use any flag except -h. is this known? and is there another program to use to adjust fan speed for an 8800 gts?
[12:26] <paulus68> are there alternate installation cd's available for servers ?
[12:27] <shnatsel> despe70: try "sudo restart syslog" or "sudo restart rsyslog"; sorry I can't test it, I don't have it installed.
[12:27] <shnatsel> GeForce88: probably a known upstream bug, Phoronix mentioned it in yesterday's benchmark
[12:28] <shnatsel> paulus68: I think all server images are alternate
[12:28] <GeForce88> shnatsel, did he mention another program? or a workaround ?
[12:28] <despe70> shnatsel: seems restart rsyyslog works. output was "rsyslog start/running, process 14029"
[12:28] <shnatsel> GeForce88: nope, just stated it's borked.
[12:28] <shnatsel> GeForce88: it was about reclocking though, not fan speed
[12:29] <GeForce88> i shall attempt to use rivatuner + wine. cheers
[12:29] <paulus68> shnatsel: the thing is I need to be able to launch a commandline so that I can launch a preseed file and this is not possible with the usual setup cd's
[12:30] <shnatsel> paulus68: well, it might be available somewhere in the installer, or maybe recovery mode... I don't remember, sorry. LiveCDs have it as boot parameter, but this is not the case. They also fall back to busybox, but I have no idea if alternate images do that.
[12:32] <despe70> I've updated my /etc/syslog.conf file, restarted syslog but it seems that the changes in my conf file are not taken into account. Any ideas ?  I have added local0.*                -/var/log/pgsql in the file, to let the postgresql messages be sent to a sepate file, but they are added to /var/log/messages
[12:37] <vexaxv> idk why i keep seeying install classic gnome ubuntu 11.10 gnome 3 comes with ubuntu 11.10
[12:38] <bazhang> !notunity | vexaxv
[12:38] <vexaxv> actually i like unity alot better, dunno why people shit talk it so much im on gnome 3 right now.
[12:38] <vexaxv> dont have to install anything lol
[12:38] <vexaxv> dang
[12:38] <bazhang> vexaxv, no cursing please
[12:39] <vexaxv> oh..sorry
[12:39] <vexaxv> :P
[12:39] <marcus> Anyone know how to remove Wine top bar, when playing Diablo II? or how to change screen size when shutting it down
[12:39] <GeForce88> yea, don't want to offend the Americans...
[12:39] <vexaxv> diabloooo 2
[12:39] <bazhang> marcus, #winehq for particular apps
[12:40] <marcus> kk, then nvm
[12:44] <jiri> hi, I've just installed Ubuntu 11.10 i386 on laptap with Radeon graphic card. I would like to use seecond monitor, but it's everytime white.. And gnome shows some strange colors.. Anyone can give me a tip for ati drivers update?
[12:46] <Shape> Hello, can anyone please point me to a link or some information on how I should set up partitions for ubuntu?
[12:46] <marcules> jiri, what does your system-info say about your graphics card?
[12:47] <iceroot> Shape: the best is to use the defaults ubuntu is suggesting
[12:47] <iceroot> Shape: everything else depends on your needs
[12:48] <Shape> iceroot: what is a lba partition for example, do I need it?
[12:48] <MonkeyDust> Shape start here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowtoPartition
[12:48] <Shape> MonkeyDust: thanks!
[12:48] <jiri> marcules: driver VESA:SUMO and AMD catalyst says hd 6620 G. My graphic card is HD 6740G2
[12:49] <Benkinooby> hi is there a pdf reader that can copy mathematical expressions from pdf files?
[12:49] <iceroot> Shape: as minimum you need one partition for / and for swap, everyting else is not needed for a running system
[12:49] <Benkinooby> okular and evince do not recognize them and skipt them
[12:50] <Shape> iceroot: So how will it know how to boot? If you are using Windows as well? Which paritition do you assign for booting? The Windows one?
[12:50] <Shape> iceroot: will Grub automatically rewrite the MBR on the Win paritition?
[12:50] <iceroot> Shape: the MBR is doing the boot-part
[12:50] <marcules> Ch4rAss, I'm not sure, I haven't set up a radeon in ages
[12:50] <iceroot> Shape: yes
[12:50] <MonkeyDust> Shape  easiest is to follow the installer
[12:51] <iceroot> Shape: just use what the installer is suggesting
[12:51] <marcules> I've got a similar problem with my TP, but it resolved itself after upgrading
[12:51] <Shape> MonkeyDust: I'm using Gparted though, I couldnt shrink with the original installer
[12:51] <MonkeyDust> Shape  i missed the part about shrinking a partition
[12:52] <Ch4rAss> marcules: I will install newest drivers directly from amd.. I think
[12:52] <Shape> MonkeyDust: I didn't specify that earlier, sorry

[12:57] <MrUnagi> How can a botched fstab entry cause me to lose SSH access?
[12:58] <jrib> MrUnagi: your system doesn't boot?
[12:58] <MrUnagi> Maybe
[12:58] <MrUnagi> It's a second HD though
[12:58] <MrUnagi> I find it odd
[12:59] <fireshroom> hello can anyone give me quick hang with samba? i have a silly problem
[12:59] <MrUnagi> So how does one prevent these things from happening.......that feels like a silly question
[12:59] <MrUnagi> fireshroom: Ask away
[13:00] <banseljaj> My hard disk is failing. I want o kow if it's a false positive and if nt, can i recover from it?
[13:01] <MrUnagi> banseljaj: Could be.....I had a drive cut out all the time, reformatted it, been working ever since
[13:01] <fireshroom> I have a samba setup, everything is correct, subnet required access is allowed, the nmb and smb service are started. there is no firewall blocking, the user was added to OS and added to samba using smbpasswd -a, the share is setup in the conf, and valid user is setup.
[13:01] <meet> will cairo dock work well on lubuntu? got an old pc with low specs
[13:01] <MonkeyDust> MrUnagi  I use ssh and have two HDD on the remote PC -- you mean the remote fstab?
[13:01] <banseljaj> MrUnagi: I also don't want to format it.. I
[13:01] <MrUnagi> MonkeyDust: Yea
[13:02] <auronandace> meet: i've never used it but try it and see
[13:02] <MrUnagi> banseljaj: Well.....I hope you don't have important data on there then
[13:02] <Bndrr> I have this issue in pokerth someone know how to help ? http://i40.tinypic.com/2aj5nnk.png
[13:02] <banseljaj> MrUnagi: It's a brand new laptop. it shouldn't be happening. And I'm only concerned about the data
[13:02] <MonkeyDust> MrUnagi  then the remote fstab entry must be wrong and the second HDD is not correctly mounted
[13:02] <banseljaj> MrUnagi: It's my primary coding computer. ;-;
[13:02] <MrUnagi> MonkeyDust: But why wouldn't the primary drive boot
[13:02] <MrUnagi> banseljaj: Where is your backup
[13:03] <banseljaj> MrUnagi: Is ti possible to unmount swap while operational?
[13:03] <MrUnagi> banseljaj: Im not sure but I would guess no
[13:03] <escott> MrUnagi, swapoff
[13:03] <banseljaj> MrUnagi: No backup, for now. :\
[13:04] <jrib> banseljaj: you can turn off swap (see swapoff command)
[13:04] <escott> banseljaj, swapoff (sorry MrUnagi
[13:04] <MrUnagi> banseljaj: I'd backup, reformat, restore
[13:04] <banseljaj> hmm.
[13:04] <fireshroom> I followed just about everything posted in regards to simple and more advanced samba setups
[13:04] <escott> banseljaj, you should check the output of free -m and make sure you won't trigger an OOM condition
[13:04] <banseljaj> And what is suggested for incremental backup?
[13:04] <MonkeyDust> MrUnagi  you would need error messages to find the cause of the error, but I guess you need physciall access for that
[13:05] <MrUnagi> MonkeyDust: That's what I mean.....how do remote admins make sure they have access even if ere are issues
[13:05] <jrib> banseljaj: I like rsnapshot (see ubottu for more options)
[13:05] <jrib> !backup > banseljaj
[13:05] <meet> how do i remove it just in case auronandace
[13:05] <banseljaj> Laptop has a 2 gig RAM, escott
[13:05] <auronandace> meet: how are you installing it?
[13:06] <banseljaj> !cloning
[13:09] <ServerCrash> hi, i am trying to get audio via HDMI on NVIDIA card
[13:10] <ServerCrash> pavumeter shows all 5.1 channels audio is comming fine, but the same is not reaching to my AV
[13:10] <banseljaj> jrib, escott, MrUnagi: One more stupid question. If i colne my current HDD, and restore it back, will it fix any misalignment errors?
[13:11] <donavan1010> hey if my session is stuck in IRC and I was disconnected how can I get that username back?
[13:11] <auronandace> donavan1010: /nick yournick
[13:12] <MonkeyDust> MrUnagi  is it possible that admins have remote access to a BIOS?
[13:12] <MrUnagi> banseljaj: Likely
[13:13] <banseljaj> hmm. Thanks. :)
[13:13] <MrUnagi> MonkeyDust: I want that!
[13:13] <ric> ciao
[13:14] <auronandace> ric: greetings
[13:14] <ric> sono nuovo e ora?
[13:14] <banseljaj> donavan1010: Also, if your nick is registered, use /ghost <nick>
[13:14] <ric> can i see a film?
[13:15] <auronandace> ric: need help with ubuntu?
[13:15] <escott> banseljaj, no
[13:15] <ric> yes
[13:15] <escott> banseljaj, assuming you mean a low level dd clone
[13:16] <auronandace> ric: got the right codecs installed?
[13:16] <banseljaj> escott: I did mean a low level dd clone. Is there a way to just clone the partition table and data, without cloning the sectors?
[13:17] <meet> mostly through terminal auronandace
[13:17] <auronandace> meet: how?
[13:17] <ric> codecs installed?
[13:17] <kesara> Any workaround for zegeist-damon high processing issue?
[13:17] <auronandace> ric: how are you trying to watch a film?
[13:18] <meet> mostly through terminal auronandace
[13:18] <auronandace> meet: i asked how
[13:18] <meet> sudo -v

[13:18] <MonkeyDust> MrUnagi  on this Suse forum, it is suggested to try and access the remote boot manager using VNC, somehow
[13:18] <auronandace> meet: we don't support ppas here

[13:18] <MonkeyDust> MrUnagi  http://club.myce.com/f3/remote-desktop-allows-bios-access-223712/
[13:20] <MrUnagi> I bet I would likely need a hardware solution for my needs
[13:20] <escott> banseljaj, im not sure i follow. clone the table and data, but not the sectors. where is the data if not in sectors? Why don't you just move/resize your partititons with gparted
[13:22] <ric> il postino?
[13:25] <donavan01> banseljaj thanks
[13:25] <auronandace> !codecs | ric

[13:33] <teligard> Hi everyone
[13:34] <teligard> was wondering if anyone had insight as to why I'll have audio after 1 boot, then not have it the next.
[13:34] <auronandace> Dice-Man: odd, what network connection you using?
[13:34] <teligard> I don't know which log file to look at to even start to identify the actual problem
[13:35] <Dice-Man> auronandace: a common wired connection

[13:38] <compdoc> does anyone have the ability to wake up remote machines using WOL? What software do you use to wake them up?
[13:38] <heckman> compdoc: the wake lan command-line utility
[13:38] <Dice-Man> auronandace: i can't open orca screenreader :(
[13:39] <heckman> I believe the package is quite literally "wakeonlan"
[13:39] <auronandace> Dice-Man: can you try from the terminal: sudo apt-get install -f
[13:39] <compdoc> heckman, what package would I install?
[13:39] <heckman> Apr13 09:39 < heckman> I believe the package is quite literally "wakeonlan"

[13:43] <makezan> i have a question
[13:43] <mikislav> hello, I am on Xubuntu 12.04. Have multiple LED samsung monitor with higher reoslution as my laptop. When I go on full screen on external monitor, it set up just 1280:800 no needed 1920:1080

[13:45] <aroman> Hi, how can I run a PHP file in my browser? Do I need to install Apache AND PHP or can I use JUST PHP?
[13:45] <Dice-Man> auronandace: well i've found the solution on lauchpad, the problem is related to accessibility problems
[13:45] <Dice-Man> gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface toolkit-accessibility false
[13:46] <fireshroom> aroman: Apache is the web server platform. Its required to render the page.
[13:46] <Dice-Man> synaptic runs now
[13:46] <auronandace> Dice-Man: i noticed that in the forums you showed me earlier too
[13:46] <makezan> !alis
[13:46] <aroman> fireshroom: PHP doesn't have the capability of serving HTTP docs itself?
[13:46] <johnfg> The install just stopped at the same place!  And there's no problem with the internet connection.
[13:47] <Chaosadnd> Anyone having a problem with samba shares on a windows 7 machine after windows 7 updates last night?
[13:47] <Dice-Man> thanks for help anyway auronandace
[13:48] <compdoc> Chaosadnd, I can still open and copy files to an ubuntu share
[13:48] <bananapie> I am using the ssh command in the console. I often get the 'remote identity has changed'. Is there a command line parameter I can pass to ssh to ignore the message and/or update the file without having to go play in .ssh/known_hosts ?
[13:48] <auronandace> Dice-Man: no worries, glad you sorted it out
[13:49] <makezan> quir
[13:49] <fireshroom> aroman: you want php to act as a webserver? I am not sure what your trying to do here
[13:51] <johnfg> bananapie, What's going on that the identity in the machine your connecting to has changed its identity?
[13:51] <johnfg> you're...
[13:51] <aroman> fireshroom: well, other scripting languages, such as ruby or python, have the ability to serve a file by themselves. So I'd just ./whatever.php and it'd serve the webpage. I was wondering if PHP could do something similar. If not, no worries, but I'd rather not run the whole of Apache if I just want to serve one single php file without a database.
[13:52] <johnfg> bananapie, The only time I get that is if the remote machine has somehow
[13:54] <fireshroom> aroman: http://php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.webserver.php
[13:55] <aroman> fireshroom: exactly what I was looking for. thanks!

[13:55] <eddy_000> at last :D
[13:55] <notanothernuc> hi all. How would one go about applying the samba patch on an ubuntu machine that was installed with apt-get?
[13:56] <eddy_000> Can someone help me with a lamp issue ive been having for erm..... 5 hours now :D
[13:56] <eddy_000> Plase :(
[13:56] <jrib> !ask | eddy_000
[13:56] <eddy_000> !ask how to fix phpmyadmin
[13:56] <jrib> eddy_000: just ask your actual question
[13:56] <escott> bananapie, i doubt you can disable that. its the only warning that the server is not who you think it is
[13:57] <eddy_000> how to instal phpmyadmin on unbuntu
[13:57] <geekbri> i wish phpmyadmin would just cease to exist.
[13:57] <eddy_000> 11.10
[13:57] <jorhaze> you can try  ssh -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null
[13:57] <johnfg> escott, I agree.  it's doing what it's supposed to be doing.
[13:57] <johnfg> Like if our identity was verified that we are who our nick says we are.
[13:58] <jrib> bananapie: read « man ssh_config ».  Pretty sure there's an option to disable the check...
[13:58] <jrib> bananapie: but why would you constantly be getting that message for the same server?
[13:58] <johnfg> I kinda 'solved' my problem with the server install of 11.10 by doing the manual config of Select and Install Software.
[14:01] <jrib> eddy_000: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/phpMyAdmin
[14:01] <bananapie> ever ssh to <IP_ADDRESS> ? a huge number of networks use this subnet
[14:02] <MonkeyDust> bananapie  <IP_ADDRESS> is most likely your router
[14:02] <bananapie> Yes
[14:02] <jrib> bananapie: so turn it off for <IP_ADDRESS>
[14:02] <tooner> not sure if this is the best place to ask but hopefully someone can help.. ive cloned a failing raid5 ntfs array using clonezilla and crc failed but im hoping i can recover something.. im trying now to get it in a format where i can read the files.. any suggestions?
[14:02] <bananapie> ok
[14:03] <meet> how to setup a network between to ubuntu computer?
[14:03] <bazhang> tooner, perhaps #clonezilla
[14:03] <tooner> worth a try :)
[14:03] <MonkeyDust> bananapie  if ssh to <IP_ADDRESS> says the identity has changed, maybe it's because it got new WAN ip address from your ISP
[14:04] <MonkeyDust> meet  ssh is very easy
[14:05] <meet> MonkeyDust
[14:05] <meet> could u please explain?
[14:06] <MonkeyDust> meet  install ssh on both pc's, then, in a terminal, type ssh [remote user]@[remote ip address]
[14:06] <meet> so no new software or setup is required?
[14:06] <johnfg> Ok, looks like the install succeeded and it has rebooted and I'm logged into the server.
[14:07] <johnfg> From the server, since it's cli at this point, how can I see what desktops are available?
[14:07] <escott> meet, you have to install openssh-server on the server, but the server automatically starts
[14:08] <meet> i want to creat a home network as in windows. is this what itt is escott?
[14:08] <escott> johnfg, if you ran ssh -X you can just start the gui apps as needed
[14:08] <MonkeyDust> idd
[14:08] <escott> meet, if you want to share files with windows computers use samba
[14:09] <killer> can anyone suggest me a goodd irc channel for security
[14:09] <bazhang> killer, ##security
[14:09] <auronandace> !alis | killer
[14:09] <mcb_> escott: Have you looked in "man 5 ssh_config". I think "ssh -o CheckHostIP=no <host>"  should do as you like.
[14:09] <johnfg> escott, right.  I
[14:09] <killer> bazhang : i went there but no body's seems to be online there
[14:10] <johnfg> I'm just lookin at the sources.list.  Is it recommended to uncomment the Canonicaland the extras repos?
[14:10] <escott> mcb_, i think bananapie wanted to disable it. i was discouraging his doing so
[14:11] <mcb_> escott: Agrees with you. But it can be done.
[14:11] <auronandace> johnfg: recommended in what sense? that you don't want to recieve updates?
[14:15] <auronandace> johnfg: sorry, misread your question, i thought you said comment (not uncomment)
[14:16] <johnfg> auronandace, I'm comin from debian squeeze and wondered about those repos.
[14:17] <auronandace> johnfg: can you paste your sources.list
[14:17] <eddy_000> Error when installing phpmyadmin: "missing destination file operant after `phpmyadmin`
[14:18] <johnfg> auronandace, I can, but it's the standard after a fresh install.

[14:29] <johnfg> auronandace, Sorry, had to go out and feed the hosses :-)
[14:29] <Agger> hi all...where can i download the sources for the PLANK docking panel, if indeed available. I'd like to build these sources myslef?
[14:29] <MonkeyDust> notanothernuc  http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/
[14:29] <jeroenpraat> I just bought a new PC. I like to install (as before) Ubuntu now. Should I install 12.04 beta2 or 11.10 and in 2 weeks 12.04 final???
[14:30] <mkultra_> id do beta and test garbage 4 them
[14:30] <jrib> Agger: is it packaged in ubuntu?
[14:30] <mkultra_> make a good partition scheme where you can easily wipe the os and have storage on another drive
[14:30] <Agger> err it can be retrieved via apt
[14:30] <jrib> Agger: I'm going to take that as a yes...
[14:30] <jrib> !source | Agger
[14:31] <jrib> Agger: make sure you have deb-src lines uncommented in /etc/apt/sources.list (or use software manager to enable source repositories)
[14:31] <Agger> interesting thanks...checking out
[14:31] <mkultra_> i apt-getted synaptic and let synaptic deal with packaging
[14:32] <johnfg> Someone asked a question earlier about samba...I note that on my debian squeeze server there are 9 updates to samba and friends.
[14:33] <escott> johnfg, which you should apply
[14:33] <johnfg> auronandace, It will be a minute.  Oops...I just installed gdm by accident instead of gpm.
[14:33] <johnfg> escott, Of course, installing now, but thanks.
[14:34] <johnfg> escott, Did those show up for ubuntu server too?
[14:35] <Marzata> in distrowatch mint goes up, unity goes down...
[14:35] <icemandna> I switched to Mint and feel so much better using it
[14:36] <dddyyyyyyyy> is there a good Usenet client on ubuntu ?
[14:36] <sipior> dddyyyyyyyy: pan's all right.
[14:36] <cristian_c> Hi
[14:37] <jeroenpraat> [Bump] I just bought a new PC. I like to install (as before) Ubuntu now. Should I install 12.04 beta2 or 11.10 and in 2 weeks 12.04 final???
[14:37] <escott> johnfg, yes they are showing up everywhere. remote root security issue in samba
[14:37] <dddyyyyyyyy> sipior: en
[14:37] <notanothernuc> I asked the samba question. I've got an old edgy server which im rebuilding but it needs the latest security patch until the replacement server is ready. As edgy's not getting updates, I have to do it myself
[14:37] <cristian_c> I would like to set the file /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf correctly
[14:37] <cristian_c> to configure the touchpad gestures
[14:38] <MonkeyDust> jeroenpraat  precise is in the Final Freeze stadium, so i guess it's stable enough
[14:38] <icemandna> jeroenpraat: I'd install 11.10 and wait for the final. Too many issues are sorted out in the early days that the new version comes out
[14:38] <cristian_c> I would like to set the pinch, the drag, the circular scrolling and tap with two fingers or more
[14:38] <cristian_c> any suggestions?
[14:38] <jeroenpraat> Thank you MonkeyDust
[14:38] <cristian_c> I can also post the current contents of synaptics.conf
[14:39] <MonkeyDust> jeroenpraat  gee dank graag gedaan :p
[14:39] <jeroenpraat> icemandna: I'm quit technical, so issues can be fixed. It's more like: is it stable enough for daily use?
[14:40] <makezan> zs
[14:40] <cryptothesly> jeroenpraat, Been using 12.04 here since mid-Jan as a daily use and had no show-stopping problems. Your mileage may vary of course :)
[14:41] <icemandna> I haven't had much fun installing 'brand new' versions myself and I'm quite technical too. Just want to keep up with my interests and not have to deal with sorting out new release issues
[14:42] <jorhaze> I have a segmentation fault in a strace of apache2 on 11.10 while making a soap call with nusoap - how do I go about posting this as a bug?

[14:46] <cristian_c> jorhaze, it's not difficult

[14:53] <roasted> Random Question - Is HUD from Ubuntu open source? Is HUD dependent upon Unity to function? I'm curious what other distros could pick up HUD... any insight?
[14:54] <eddy_000> Can someone help, My server wont install PHPMYADMIN, I searched for it and it just doesnt exist
[14:55] <MonkeyDust> roasted  HUD is a Unity feature
[14:56] <roasted> MonkeyDust: I see. Well Unity is open source no? I assume HUD is too?
[14:56] <LjL> roasted: sure
[14:56] <MonkeyDust> roasted  Unity = Gnome3 + Compiz
[14:57] <eddy_000> None know my answer :S
[14:57] <mneptok> !info phpmyadmin
[14:57] <Timmy> how can i configure package manager to keep downloaded packages under /var/cache/apt/archive? i mean after a while it removes them but i want to keep all of them
[14:57] <johnfg> On another note...I see that using lvm2 for disk partitioning in server 11.10, that the default was still to use ext2 for /boot.
[14:57] <johnfg> Shouldn't grub be able to handle ext4?
[14:57] <mneptok> eddy_000: there's the package right there in the universe repo
[14:58] <jorhaze> eddy do: "dpkg -l|grep phpmyadmin" to see if it is installed
[14:58] <johnfg> for boot, i.e.?
[14:58] <escott> johnfg, ext4 has not real advantages for a small infrequently used partition like /boot
[14:58] <auronandace> johnfg: sure, but /boot is meant to be small and doesn't really need journal support so ext2 is a good choice
[14:59] <eddy_000> jorhaze :  says need an aciton option :S
[15:00] <jorhaze> you forgot the lowercase L
[15:00] <johnfg> Ok, just wondered.  Had no problems with it, and on 3 debian machines, 2 squeeze are ext3 and a lenny ext3 for /boot.
[15:01] <johnfg> Since I installed gdm 'by mistake', is it gnome3?
[15:02] <johnfg> It's still going, so I can't tell yet.
[15:02] <auronandace> johnfg: what do you mean?
[15:02] <escott> johnfg, it has been ported to gtk3 but it is not "gnome3"
[15:02] <MonkeyDust> johnfg  gnome3 uses lightdm
[15:02] <freko28> Hi all, how can I add a PAT rule on ubuntu to forward the tcp port 6000 on the tcp port 8080?
[15:03] <johnfg> So, it's gnome 2?
[15:03] <escott> johnfg, saying a gdm is gnome3 is comparable to saying a ford truck is exxon gasoline
[15:03] <auronandace> johnfg: you need to explain what you mean
[15:03] <auronandace> johnfg: gdm is just a login manager, lightdm is default from 11.10 onwards
[15:04] <johnfg> So are you saying that the gnome desktop manager may not be the same version as the gnome desktop?
[15:04] <escott> johnfg, you can use kdm with gnome if you want
[15:04] <johnfg> auronandace, Ok, I think I see what you mean.
[15:05] <johnfg> So, now that I've got gdm almost installed, I suppose I have to install a desktop?  Or will lightdm be already installed, by default?
[15:05] <auronandace> johnfg: what are you using? the minimal iso or default ubuntu?
[15:06] <escott> johnfg, by installing gdm you have probably disabled/removed lightdm
[15:06] <Ricaz> anyone have any experience using a wifi Epson printer on ubuntu?
[15:07] <johnfg> I installed from ubuntu-11.10-server-i386.iso
[15:07] <mneptok> Ricaz: does openprinting.org say that the device actually has Linux support?
[15:07] <johnfg> escott, Just a sec...did you mean how did I install server or how did I install gdm?
[15:08] <Ricaz> i.. don't know, mneptok. But I found some drivers on their website
[15:08] <mneptok> Ricaz: check openprinting first
[15:08] <realus> when in nexuiz, and want minimize to do something else ??
[15:08] <MonkeyDust> johnfg  i guess server is for more experienced users
[15:09] <auronandace> johnfg: the server iso doesn't come with a gui by default so by installing gdm you may have triggered the install of xorg and maybe gnome3
[15:09] <johnfg> MonkeyDust, I'm experienced with debian and the redhat clones, but wanted to give ubuntu server a try.
[15:09] <escott> johnfg, auronandace is asking what disc you were using. some disks like minimal or server do not include the ubuntu-desktop package which installs a gui, some like the standard disc do
[15:09] <mneptok> johnfg: you have yet to explain why you're installing a display manager *at all*
[15:10] <escott> johnfg, i was saying that since you installed gdm, your lightdm installation (if it existed) would be disabled since you need only one DM
[15:10] <sub|work> bye
[15:11] <MonkeyDust> johnfg  server is not supposed to be used with a GUI, it's only optional
[15:11] <Ricaz> mneptok: This is the printer: http://www.openprinting.org/printer/Epson/Epson-SX235_Series
[15:11] <johnfg> mneptok, Actually, you may not have seen that I did it by mistake.  I was gonna copy & paste from the cli with gpm, but noted the mouse wasn't active.  Then, by mistake, I did apt-get install gdm, instead of gpm.  Get it?
[15:12] <mneptok> johnfg: so purge the package once it's installed.
[15:12] <Ricaz> mneptok: the problem is, there was no USB cable with the printer
[15:12] <johnfg> I know I could have just copied or read into pastezone by sources.list
[15:12] <mneptok> Ricaz: so download the driver OpenPrinting recommends and install the package.
[15:13] <johnfg> mneptok, ya,already thought of doing that.

[15:17] <A_I_> hi there
[15:17] <A_I_> any idea about :     │ ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)                                                                                │
[15:17] <A_I_> this happens during installation of "cacti"
[15:18] <A_I_> I have set a password for root on mysql server
[15:18] <A_I_> so now package won't install
[15:18] <A_I_> any suggestion ?
[15:19] <MonkeyDust> !enter| A_I_
[15:19] <A_I_> ubottu no pb
[15:19] <A_I_> MonkeyDust no pb :-)
[15:20] <A_I_> when I install cacti I get an error : "ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)", is there any way to give root's password via a file or so ?
[15:22] <johnfg> My guess was right.  After reboot I'm in gdm, but it's looking for session ubuntu, which I don't have (or any other).
[15:23] <A_I_> any idea ?

[16:19] <jbs> gnome3 is just as bad

[16:20] <jpds> MonkeyDust: Err, that's not true.
[16:20] <MonkeyDust> jbs  gnome2 is no longer maintained or upgraded
[16:20] <zykotick9> jbs: gnome2 is dead (development wise).  xfce is popular alternative.
[16:20] <mneptok> jbs: not a long-term viable approach. GNOME2 is disappearing across distros.
[16:20] <jpds> MonkeyDust: Unity and GNOME 3 are two completely different projects.
[16:21] <jbs> ok i don't care about support. i just want gnome2
[16:21] <jbs> how do i do that
[16:21] <cortman> Hi Nava_ open a terminal and type synclient
[16:21] <jpds> jbs: Install 10.04.
[16:21] <paulus68> MonkeyDust: well I am familiar with that however I want to use a preseed file and the example sais that I have to use the server installation cd and as soon as the language prompt has come up you hit F6 and proceed from there
[16:21] <Nava_> Ok. doing it now
[16:21] <jpds> jbs: But you'll have to move on at some point in the future, as noone maintains GNOME 2 code.
[16:21] <cortman> Nava_, does it return an error or give you a list of synclient commands?
[16:21] <mneptok> jbs: what do you do next year when not a single distro offers GNOME2?
[16:21] <jbs> i thought open source was supposed to be about choice?
[16:22] <zykotick9> jbs: use 10.04 if you need gnome2 over all else
[16:22] <jpds> jbs: That has nothing to do with it.
[16:22] <mneptok> jbs: it is. start maintaining GNOME2. no one is stopping you.
[16:22] <green_nine> hello
[16:23] <mneptok> jbs: and there are more choices than something deprecated. try XFCE like zykotick9 suggested.
[16:23] <green_nine> anyone plays minecraft?
[16:23] <mneptok> !away > n7
[16:24] <family> can someone take a quick look as this instll compile, why does it not work as the readme says.. http://imagebin.org/207881
[16:24] <Nava_> k, back. Couldn't find synaptic properties. Nos synaptics driver loaded
[16:25] <jpds> family: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic
[16:25] <jpds> family: Is probably what you need.
[16:26] <oslinux23> helo
[16:26] <GirlyGirl> Is there any application that can provide me an offline dictionarry and thesaurus?
[16:26] <aggrav8d> hi, ubuntu.  I'm getting a LOT of error emails about "unable to load mhash.so".  I found some google docs about deleting /etc/php5/conf.d/mhash.ini.  it didn't help.
[16:26] <zykotick9> family: what device is this it9135 for?  specifically, usb or some card?
[16:26] <aggrav8d> any ideas, please?
[16:26] <jpds> GirlyGirl: aspell is installed by default?
[16:26] <jbs> aggrav8d, they'll just tell you to use python or something here
[16:27] <cortman> Nava_, run sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
[16:27] <family> zykotick9: TV Card
[16:27] <jpds> jbs: Hi, please be constructive.
[16:27] <aggrav8d> jbs - not really applicable.
[16:27] <jbs> i asked about gnome2 and just got nonsense
[16:27] <family> zykotick9: USB TV Card
[16:27] <GirlyGirl> jpds: Referring to definitions here
[16:27] <GirlyGirl> jpds: Not spellcheck support
[16:27] <aggrav8d> jbs - well did you sweet talk them first by saying thank you for all the great advice with the last problem you had?
[16:27] <Nava_> ok
[16:27] <zykotick9> family: USB :(  i can't help - good luck.
[16:27] <oslinux23> I have many many scanned pages that have black borders and I want to remove those. I found that unpaper can make that really easy
[16:27] <aggrav8d> a pinch of sugar helps the medicine go down.
[16:27] <family> zykotick9: USB TV Card
[16:28] <family> zykotick9: Thanks anyway..
[16:28] <jbrks> family, probably it's an old driver source, you have anything more recent?
[16:28] <family> jpds: i think it worked.
[16:29] <jpds> family: Cool.
[16:29] <oslinux23> but I am unable to do that
[16:29] <paulus68> I want to load a preseed file  before installing my server however I am not able to get into cli how do I achieve this? with an alternate install cd or is there another solution?
[16:29] <wylde> GirlyGirl: see http://paste.ubuntu.com/928161/ <-- for the output of apt-cache search english dictionary.
[16:29] <mneptok> aggrav8d: is PHP supposed to provide the mhash stuff you need?
[16:29] <zykotick9> paulus68: are you doing some multi-install roll out or something?  why use preseed?
[16:29] <oslinux23> I get the same output with the input file
[16:29] <family> jpds: well now thats done. no error's do i need to install or did it do that as well
[16:29] <cortman> Nava_, if/when you post back, type cortm+TAB to address your post to me, otherwise I'll miss it.
[16:30] <aggrav8d> mneptok - i understand mhash has been integrated into the latest php so the external mhash is no longer needed.  unfortunately something still refers to it somewhere in the code, so when I ran apt-upgrade it kinda broke and now I get 20 emails a minute about a cron() task I can't even find.
[16:30] <Nava_> got it
[16:30] <jpds> family: Carry on with the instructions.
[16:30] <aggrav8d> "PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php5/20090626+lfs/mhash.so' - /usr/lib/php5/20090626+lfs/mhash.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0"
[16:31] <mneptok> aggrav8d: see if installing the libmhash2 package helps.
[16:31] <mneptok> aggrav8d: PHP is calling a shared object that does not exist.
[16:32] <family> jpds: well the next bit says to check /var/log/messages for errors.
[16:32] <Nava_> cortman: Processing was halted because there were too many errors. E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg retured an error code(1)
[16:32] <family> jpds: that file does not exist.
[16:32] <cortman> Nava_, do you have an ubuntu forums account?
[16:32] <jbrks> family, where did you download the source code?
[16:32] <mneptok> aggrav8d: and seeing that PHP is looking within its own directory structure for it, it seems to be solely an issue with PHP.
[16:32] <oslinux23> :-/
[16:32] <family> jpds: came on the cd with device.
[16:32] <Nava_> yea
[16:33] <Nava_> cortman: yes i do
[16:33] <family> jbrks: came on cd with device
[16:33] <cortman> Nava_, start a thread and give me a link. Sounds like some other issues besides just touchpad.
[16:33] <renard-> Can't copy-paste between monitors in a dual-screen setup (single X) with 11.10/Unity, anybody knows why?
[16:33] <oslinux23> Who can help me this unpaper or pnm crop ?
[16:34] <aggrav8d> mneptok - libmhash2 already installed at latest version
[16:34] <mneptok> cortman: referring people to the forums renders IRC moot, no?
[16:34] <zykotick9> renard-: can you drag windows from one to the other?
[16:34] <renard-> zykotick9, yes
[16:34] <zykotick9> renard-: weird.  no idea.  good luck.
[16:34] <mneptok> aggrav8d: i'd ask around PHP places instead of Ubuntu places.
[16:34] <aggrav8d> mneptok -  i'll ask php and see what they say.
[16:34] <aggrav8d> thanks.
[16:34] <paulus68> zykotick9: Well I want to experiment with it and that's why I want to find out if this is what I want, might also be usefull for desktop installs
[16:34] <cortman> mneptok, not at all. It appears this problem may be a little involved to just solve over IRC- I'll need command ouputs and othe rinfo.
[16:34] <Nava_> cortman: yea, most likely. these things  always seem to happen after upgrades
[16:34] <jbrks> family, it's old source code, i see other people mention it on forums.. try using the latest source code..
[16:35] <mneptok> cortman: it does not mean others cannot help.
[16:35] <jpds> family: /var/log/dmesg
[16:35] <renard-> Tried some clipboard software such as Glippy, but Unity integration is broken
[16:35] <jbrks> family, btw, what's the device id from lspci or lsusb ?
[16:35] <nothingspecial> mneptok: Nope, we encourage forum users to try irc
[16:35] <paulus68> zykotick9: might also be tempted to create a pxe server although I am not certain if this can be installed on my current server
[16:35] <realus> free vpn service providers ??
[16:35] <cortman> mneptok, If you can solve it right now over IRC, you're more than welcome to! :)
[16:35] <zykotick9> paulus68: :) i've need reading the preseed documentation (looks pretty cool actually).  I'm going to play with it someday for sure (would make my installs REALLY fast to deploy).  Best of luck.
[16:36] <family> jbrks: lsusb it's shown
[16:36] <paulus68> zykotick9: thx do you have any Idea how to launch the 11.10 server cd into cli?
[16:36] <realus> Found one: https://www.vpnreactor.com/linux_openvpn.html
[16:37] <oCean> realus: this channel is for ubuntu technical support only
[16:37] <family> jpds: i stared again and the same error as in jpg was displayed
[16:37] <zykotick9> paulus68: you could boot the iso from grub2 perhaps.  you can't really "launch" the install.
[16:37] <jbrks> family, i'm guessing you mean 048d:9135 shows..
[16:37] <zykotick9> paulus68: the tasksel suggestions are as close to the installer as you
[16:37] <zykotick9> 'll probably get
[16:38] <oslinux23> @oCean is there anyone who can help me with this http://unpaper.berlios.de/#overview ?
[16:38] <family> jbrks:ID 048d:9005 Integrated Technology Express, Inc.
[16:38] <mneptok> cortman: i would, except there is no record of any original question.
[16:38] <paulus68> zykotick9: fair enough but why do they suggest the unattended setup? or does the alternate cd containst the required images to install the server from
[16:39] <jbrks> oslinux23, ocr stuff.. good luck
[16:39] <oCean> oslinux23: I have no idea what your issue is. To be sure, describe it detailed in single line here in the channel
[16:39] <oslinux23> I have a many pages that have black borders
[16:39] <oslinux23> I want to crop those
[16:39] <zykotick9> paulus68: you might try the mini install (it might have preseed in the advanced options) [warning! pure speculation]
[16:39] <family> jbrks:can you see newer drivers?
[16:39] <zykotick9> !mini | paulus68
[16:40] <Aethelred> I upgraded to Lucid (10.04) yesterday. I'm having video problems. The desktop launches fine, but I'm getting very slow and quirky behaviour. Compiz and workspaces and animations etc. all worked fine before. Is there someone here who can help me find the problem if I describe symptoms?
[16:40] <cortman> mneptok, right. That's because I redirected Nava from the forums social channel, and said I'd help them out.
[16:40] <mneptok> cortman: you cannot get help with a question you never ask.
[16:40] <paulus68> zykotick9: only for desktop installs thanks anyway
[16:41] <zykotick9> Aethelred: 2 questions.  1) what did you upgrade from?  2) what video card?  "lspci | grep -i vga" if not sure.
[16:41] <zykotick9> paulus68: what's only for desktop installs?
[16:41] <jbrks> family, it says it's supported but from kernel 3.2 ( http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB-T_USB_Devices/Full )
[16:41] <jbrks> family, scratch that..
[16:41] <zykotick9> paulus68: mini isn't!  it's got everything available in it's tasksel (server, ubuntu, kubuntu, edubuntu, etc)
[16:42] <oslinux23> @oCean should I always tag specific people here in order to communicate ? :P
[16:42] <Aethelred> zykotick9: (1) from Karmic (9.10)  (2) Nvidia 8800GTS
[16:42] <family> jbrks: is it supported then?
[16:43] <jbrks> family, i dont see the deviceid mentioned on that page, but someone on a forum referred to that post with your device, and tried the latest kernel with it..
[16:43] <cortman> mneptok, sigh. Do I have to say "I was wrong, you were right" for everyone to be happy again? :S
[16:43] <jbrks> family, try kernel of at least 3.2.xx
[16:43] <mneptok> cortman: no, but my PayPal address is .... ;)
[16:43] <Aethelred> zykotick9: I was running Nvidia's driver before. It seems to still be used.
[16:43] <cortman> mneptok, I promise I won't spam the channel with redirects to the forums. :)
[16:43] <zykotick9> Aethelred: by nvidia's driver do you mean from nvidia.com?
[16:43] <oCean> oslinux23: no need, just state your question, here in the channel. Someone who can help, will likely reply :)
[16:44] <family> jbrks: umm that might be too advaned for me.
[16:44] <jbrks> family, this means you don't use need to use any other source code.. because the usbtv sourcecode should already be with the kernel3.2.xx
[16:44] <oslinux23> @oCean
[16:44] <Aethelred> zykotick9: Yes.
[16:44] <oslinux23> @oCean thanks
[16:44] <jbrks> family, it may already be in your repos.. did u try apt-upgrading, or using the latest ubuntu?
[16:44] <family> jbrks: easy to change kernal?
[16:44] <zykotick9> Aethelred: too bad.  I can't help then - good luck.
[16:45] <family> 11.10
[16:45] <jbrks> family, kernels dont always replace, apt might add an option to the grub menu..
[16:45] <aggrav8d> mneptok - how do i purge a package?  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=593266  suggests that purging the package will make the mhash error go away.
[16:45] <jbrks> family, oh.. so perhaps you may be on kernel3.0xx already..
[16:45] <family> jbrks: ok, i will google it and come back if needed.
[16:46] <family> jbrks: thanks
[16:46] <Aethelred> zykotick9: Is there something wrong with that driver?  ... or do you just not help with proprietary stuff?
[16:46] <jbrks> family, you'd need at least 3.2.xx
[16:46] <zykotick9> aggrav8d: "sudo apt-get purge foo"
[16:46] <mado> hello everyone :)
[16:46] <Aethelred> zykotick9: Could you suggest an alternative?
[16:46] <oslinux23> I have many pnm scanned pages and they have black borders. I want to crop those. It seems that unpaper can help me, but I havent figure out how to do that. Any suggestions ?
[16:46] <GirlyGirl> wylde: Nevermind, kthesaurus does what I need
[16:46] <wylde> GirlyGirl: alrighty.
[16:48] <zykotick9> Aethelred: :) i was going to make an exception to my upgrade issues run for you (because it's lucid).  AND i have used that exact same model nvidia 8800 since lucid in my machine!  BUT, as soon as an nvidia.com driver has been installed on a system - i won't touch that system, i consider installing a 3rd party driver like that a "sin" sorry.
[16:48] <mado> I don't know if this sounds strange, weird in your ears but i was wondering ... ... ... Can you tell me, show me, help me find one, suggest one, etc ... a new desktop pc ... for playing games (some on ms windows ... some i will try on ubuntu) , office-work, internet and such stuff?
[16:49] <Aethelred> zykotick9: Well I won't condemn a person for their religious beliefs. Perhaps you know of someone else who might offer assistance?
[16:49] <MonkeyDust> mado  better ask in #ubuntu-offtopic
[16:49] <johnfg> hi again folks
[16:49] <mado> thank you MonkeyDust :)
[16:49] <johnfg> Had to get to the office.  So, I'm at a root prompt in the server, and gdm is installed, but no session.
[16:50] <zykotick9> Aethelred: wait a little while, then restate your issue with as much details as possible to the channel.  good luck man.
[16:50] <johnfg> If I want a gui desktop, what's a good one to install?
[16:50] <Nava_> cortman: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11841381#post11841381
[16:50] <mado> i'd say it depends on what you'd like johnfg
[16:51] <MonkeyDust> johnfg  a lot of people have just entered while you were away, repeat your question from the beginning, what you did and tried etc
[16:51] <johnfg> mado, Since I can't see what's available, and I'm used to gnome2 & 3, xfce, what's recommended?
[16:51] <CQ> johnfg: sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback ... gets you teh plain gnome3 desktop
[16:51] <mado> hmmm ... under ubuntu ... many are available as far as i know (last time i was playing around a bit with LXDE :) )
[16:52] <johnfg> MonkeyDust, ok, I mistakenly installed gdm in a fresh install of server 11.10.  I had meant to install mouse support, i.e., gpm.
[16:52] <Aethelred> zykotick9: Thank you.
[16:52] <mado> in a few days i will take a look on gnome3
[16:52] <johnfg> mado, Can you tell me the pkg name for lxde?
[16:53] <wylde> !info lxde
[16:53] <johnfg> Yeah, just lxde didn't work.
[16:53] <mado> maybe it's lubuntu-desktop? *thinking*
[16:54] <mado> it's been a while ... and i'm currently on this windoze-laptop :(
[16:54] <wylde> mado: I think you're right.
[16:54] <mado> sudo apt-cache search <>
[16:54] <blitz> how do I add cp437 encoding to my terminal? I don't see it in the available encodings list
[16:54] <mado> i'd use that johnfg
[16:54] <wylde> !info lubuntu-desktop
[16:55] <zykotick9> mado: fyi you don't need sudo for apt-cache (save some typing)
[16:55] <mado> zykotick9, thank you :) ... didn't know that for sure ... you see ... i'm just a beginner with computers and all that :)
[16:56] <johnfg> And now, when I boot in recovery mode, the net's not configured, so I can't install it.
[16:57] <zykotick9> mado: don't use sudo unless you need to.  BUT, apt-cache is tricky ;)  many advanced users use sudo for it.
[16:57] <wylde> mado: it's best to try first if not sure without sudo. Using sudo when not needed can cause issues with your system, eg. typos with root permissions can have nasty side effects. :)
[16:57] <johnfg> mado, But you were thinking that the name of the pkg was lubuntu-desktop?
[16:58] <irchelp> hi
[16:58] <mado> yes i thought so johnfg
[16:58] <zykotick9> johnfg: the lubuntu-desktop package will contain more packages then the xfce package (will lead to duplications of some apps, which you may or maynot want?)
[16:58] <mado> wylde, and zykotick9 ... thank you for that info :)
[17:01] <johnfg> zykotick9, You know what the package is for xfce?
[17:01] <zykotick9> johnfg: xfce4 probably
[17:01] <zykotick9> !info xfce4
[17:02] <Bndrr> someone can help me to install Lineage 2 in ubuntu please ?¿
[17:02] <johnfg> Ok, I'm removing gdm and will then see about installing the xfce4 after a clean boot.
[17:02] <johnfg> I assume if lightdm isn't installed that the xfce4 will grab it?
[17:03] <zykotick9> johnfg: probably not.  manually install lightdm will probably be required.
[17:03] <zykotick9> johnfg: or startx ;)
[17:04] <johnfg> startx probably have less overhead?
[17:04] <zykotick9> johnfg: sure does.  do you have wireless on this system?
[17:04] <johnfg> yes.
[17:05] <zykotick9> johnfg: you'll probably need gdm/lightdm then :(
[17:05] <family> jbrks:do you know of any software to test tv card in linux?
[17:06] <Aethelred> zykotick9: I'm (slowly) delving in to this and it seems my driver is part of the Ubuntu repos. It's in Synaptic, with the little ubuntu symbol and everything:  nvidia-current   195.36.24-0ubuntu1~10.04.2
[17:06] <Aethelred> zykotick9: Can we go on a date now?   :)
[17:08] <zykotick9> Aethelred: nope sorry.  the issue i have is there is no way to be sure the nvidia.com driver didn't change something on the system - and the system is unable to remove said changes.  so, as soon as that nvidia.com driver gets install, i consider it a compromised/unstable system.  sorry man.  but best of luck!  try reinstall the driver from "additional drivers" or whatever and reboot.
[17:08] <aggrav8d> zykotick9 - thanks for the purge tip.  worked great!  sudo dpkg -P php5-mhash  fixed the 2500 error emails I got in the last 10 minutes.
[17:08] <Bndrr> how can I see my memory with terminal ?? i need the command
[17:09] <mneptok> Bndrr: free -m
[17:09] <Bndrr> thx.
[17:09] <veinos> Anyone knows how to set up different wall paper on dual monitor setup/ 4 virtual desktop setup ? I'm using ubuntu 12.04
[17:10] <veinos> I've seen a video where that seemed possible, is it implemented yet?
[17:10] <zykotick9> veinos: reask in #ubuntu+1
[17:10] <Aethelred> zykotick9: Ok.
[17:10] <veinos> already did :) but its dead there for now, so i tried my luck here
[17:11] <veinos> being googling for hours trying to find any info on that
[17:11] <zykotick9> veinos: by choosing to run 12.04 now, you "choose" not to get support here :|  downside of beta ;)
[17:11] <veinos> hehe fair enough
[17:11] <family> anyone know of any software to test tv card in linux?
[17:11] <veinos> but then, it isn't possible in 11.x  right?
[17:12] <veinos> family, I've seen some nvidia apps in the software center for the tv tuner, if that's the brand u use
[17:14] <jbrks> can someone test the wan side of my network?
[17:16] <zykotick9> veinos: (you need to check what dependencies this will install!  if it's all of mythtv then i'd suggest NOT doing it!) you could try installing mythbuntu-control-centre for a GUI tool to setting up TV cards.
[17:16] <zykotick9> family: ^^
[17:16] <wad> I need to run a command when I shutdown my machine. Is there a way to set up a shellscript that will be run when I press the power button? I've got my laptop configured so that pressing the power button shuts down.
[17:17] <wad> (I've got a headless VirtualBox linux image that sometimes runs, and I'd like it to cleanly exit when I tell my laptop to power down.)
[17:17] <zykotick9> wad: MAN i wish VBox had better integration for that!
[17:18] <wad> zykotick9, yeah. I've got a little script that I run, "vmoff", that just ssh's in and does "sudo init 0". I figure I can just run that, sleep for a few seconds, and it will be good.
[17:18] <xsl> hello all
[17:18] <_255> I am trying to fix my computer to boot from cd in order to install Ubuntu, could someone help me to figure out how to make it work please?
[17:19] <xsl> is it ok to install basket in unity ?
[17:19] <veinos> _255, you either have to hit some key at bootup (F8 on my asus motherboard) to select the booting device
[17:20] <veinos> or to enter bios and set your primary booting device in there
[17:22] <pipipo> hi, anyone knows what can draw on top of the desktop with transparency, like it does when dragging a window to the sides?
[17:22] <pipipo> which lib, cairo?
[17:23] <xsl> guys is it ok to install basket in unity, it asks for alot of kde libs
[17:24] <Flying> hey guys, I'm trying to run an Ubuntu live USB but my computer's bios only support USB-FDD. The optical diskdrive doesn't work, and it's a faily old version of ubuntu I am trying to update. Anything I can do??
[17:25] <compdoc> you can copy it to a usb flash drive. would that work?
[17:25] <Flying> compdoc, what do you mean?
[17:26] <compdoc> put the installer on a usb stick
[17:26] <Flying> how does that make it bootable?
[17:26] <compdoc> thats what I was asking - can you boot from a flash drive?
[17:27] <xworld__> hai Guys , anyone know how to connect iphone 3gs in ubuntu 11.10
[17:27] <francesco_> ciao
[17:27] <Flying> no because my computer's bios only support USB-FDD. Pendrivelinux says it doesn't support USB-FDD
[17:27] <francesco_> !list
[17:28] <Kanerix> Flying: is there a USB-HDD option?
[17:29] <Flying> Kanerix, no there isn't. The computer I have is an HP Pavilion 304w, it's really old.
[17:29] <Kanerix> I don't memorize computer models and their BIOS setups, believe it or not
[17:29] <Flying> Kanerix, I am also unable to download an update because I can't get into any OS
[17:29] <compdoc> sometimes, there are bios updates that add features
[17:29] <johnfg> I'm bugged.  I installed lightdm and xfce4 with no errors.  However, even thought I'm seeing the lightdm at login, and with me as a user, after entering my password I still get the error, Failed to load session ubuntu :-(
[17:30] <johnfg> What am I missing?
[17:30] <Kanerix> Flying, often times there's an option that says something along the lines of "Allow booting of other devices"
[17:30] <Flying> Kanerix, I don' expect for you to memorize it in the least bit. I was just giving you information in case it would help.
[17:30] <Kanerix> then you can disable your hard drives and let it try to boot
[17:31] <Kanerix> In the end, there's no way to compensate for a BIOS that can't boot the device that you're trying to
[17:31] <lmsens> yo
[17:31] <despe70> I'm using rsyslog to log my messages. I've just added a rule to catch those of postgresql to be logged to a separate file. Works fine, but all messages are logged twice now, once in the file and once in the /var/log/messages ... how can I prevent that?
[17:31] <lmsens> why does ubuntu loses touchad
[17:31] <lmsens> psmouse serio1: TouchPad at isa0060/serio1/input0 lost synchronization, throwing 2 bytes away.
[17:31] <Flying> what I did was enter the bios and the boot order to all USB, and it didn't detect it. then I tried the same with CD-ROM which didn't work, so I'm like damnnit
[17:32] <lmsens> I want my bytes back
[17:32] <andre_pl> I'm trying to install 12.04 beta 2. I've done 2 clean installs, and both times I end with a login screen that wraps horribly across my 2 monitors, and then just hangs there with nothing but a wallpaper after I try to log in
[17:32] <StepNjump> my mouse is connected on a USB router, since a few days, I keep having to unplug it and then replug it in a different port in order to revive my mouse. Any idea why this happens?
[17:32] <andre_pl> the live environment is awesome, works perfectly, but as soon as I do first boot its just screwed
[17:32] <Kanerix> Flying, that's not what I'm saying
[17:33] <StepNjump> even an application no longer runs. This is very weird...
[17:33] <Flying> I understand, but is there a way to make a live usb with FDD capabilities, or are they all ZIP/HDD?
[17:33] <johnfg> Any ideas on the failed to load session "ubuntu"?
[17:35] <Flying> or is there a way to update bios without an OS? (like downloading them to a removable media?)
[17:35] <johnfg> googling the error isn't producing anything very helpful.
[17:36] <Flying> Kanerix, because here's the thing, it will load past grub, to the ubuntu OS loading screen, then it just goes blank
[17:36] <compdoc> Flying, that could be a siple setting
[17:36] <Kanerix> Well that's not a bios problem dude
[17:36] <compdoc> simple
[17:37] <david-goodger> I'm unable to build a program (http://burrtools.sf.net). It needs OpenGL, I have Mesa installed, but ./compile tells me "checking for OpenGL... yes
[17:37] <david-goodger> configure: error: no openGL found, openGL is needed for burrtools"
[17:37] <david-goodger> Any pointers?
[17:37] <david-goodger> sorry, ./configure, not ./compile
[17:37] <Flying> compdoc, meaning? How could I go about fixing it, hpefully??
[17:37] <Kanerix> Flying, try adding "nomodeset" to the kernel options for ubuntu
[17:37] <Kanerix> it's probably that the kernel is setting a video mode that your video card doesn't like
[17:37] <Flying> Kanerix, how do I do that? Do I need to run the command
[17:37] <Kanerix> which has absolutely nothing to do with the bios
[17:38] <Kanerix> erm
[17:38] <Flying> I know, I was trying to do a clean install through USB, which was why I was tryna mess with the bios
[17:38] <Fyodorovna> !nomodeset > Flying
[17:38] <Kanerix> I don't remember Ubuntu's bootloader implementation >_>
[17:38] <compdoc> google nomodeset
[17:38] <Kanerix> Fyodorovna, thanks
[17:39] <Fyodorovna> kandinski, no problem.
[17:39] <Flying> thanks Fyodorovna
[17:39] <andre_pl> Flying: did you set it to login automatically? sorry for jumping in but our problems could be similar i get nothing after logging in. but not a blank screen, just a hanging wallpaper
[17:39] <Kanerix> david-goodger, that's funky
[17:40] <Flying> andre_pl, no I don't after the ubuntu screen it just goes black and leaves it there
[17:40] <Kanerix> Flying, yeah that's the symptom that nomodeset should fix
[17:40] <compdoc> Flying, yeah, common problem
[17:40] <andre_pl> !nomodeset
[17:41] <compdoc> its a parameter? I didnt think it was that serious
[17:41] <Flying> I'll check that out, thankfully I've got a couple of PC's so I can make it work
[17:41] <Kanerix> yeah you just add it to the kernel options line
[17:41] <Flying> I dont even know what a parameter is
[17:41] <Kanerix> simple really
[17:41] <MrWGW> hey there, I'm still running 10.10 and want to keep running it due to the horror of later releases
[17:41] <MrWGW> anyway I can disable those annoying "your release is unsupported" popups?
[17:41] <Flying> Kanarix, is how to add it to the kernel options line n that ubuntuforums thread?
[17:41] <compdoc> yes
[17:42] <compdoc> MrWGW, yes
[17:42] <jbrks> anybody knows what i can do to prevent my network card from going to sleep? (but the rest of the machine can)
[17:42] <MrWGW> mainly due to Unity et cetera, I'm sure you hear that a lot
[17:42] <Kanerix> Flying, I didn't click it. Did you?
[17:42] <Kanerix> also
[17:42] <Guest59506> I need to run a command to make this bootable usb work but I get an error http://paste.ubuntu.com/928260/
[17:42] <jbrks> Kanerix, i did. <click>
[17:42]  * Kanerix is how it's spelled
[17:42] <Flying> not yes, I've been reading what you guys have been saying for help. I really appreciate it

[17:43]  * jbrks clicked it
[17:43] <compdoc> dont be clicking on my screen - its delicate
[17:43] <Flying> gonna read it over, I just didn't want to miss any info here
[17:43] <Kanerix> Flying, there's a nice graphical rundown of it on that forum post =p
[17:44] <Kanerix> Guest59506, mount /dev/sdc1 to /media/sdc1
[17:44] <kreative> I am running a mac server (<IP_ADDRESS>) lets say on local.domain.com and the server resolves the the mac wiki and what not from public requests for local.domain.com. I am also running a ubuntu bridged (apologies i wrote nat previously) virtualized server (<IP_ADDRESS>) and would like it to resolve to server.local.domain.com.
[17:44] <Flying> the only thing is, the ubuntu version I have is 8.04, think it'd be a problem
[17:45] <Guest59506> Kanerix, do I  cd mount /dev/sdc1
[17:46] <Kanerix> Guest59506, mount /dev/sdc1 /media/sdc1
[17:46] <jbrks> kreative, make it simpler.. make a zone 'localdomain' and go down one child namespace.. like a.localdomain  (or if u prefer domain.com that's fine, but don't go so far as server.local.domain.dom, it's too far -- server.domain.com would be easier)
[17:50] <Flying> can someone direct me to a how-to on how to set nomodeset on an outdate version of ubuntu (8.04)?
[17:50] <Kanerix> Flying, did you try the things that the forum post mentioned?
[17:50] <jbrks> Flying, you mean kernelmodesetting (kms).. kms is pretty new, it wouldnt be on 8.04
[17:50] <Kanerix> regardless of version, it's still valid
[17:51] <Kanerix> jbrks, really? I thought it had been around for a while
[17:51] <Flying> Kenarix, I don't have a graphical interface when I try to.
[17:51] <Kanerix> Flying, please stop misspelling my name. It's quite annoying
[17:51] <trism> david-goodger: check out config.log and search for "no openGL found", if you scroll up a little bit you will see the error, for me it was "cannot find -lXmu", so I needed libxmu-dev as well (so, their configure script is kind of broken)
[17:52] <Flying> Kanerix, sorry, I'm (no shit) dyslexic
[17:52] <Kanerix> auto-complete is your friend
[17:52] <david-goodger> trism: thanks, will do!
[17:52] <Kanerix> I don't have any experience in older ubuntu stuffs
[17:53] <Kanerix> Why not upgrade?
[17:53] <rasheed> does htc cell phones work with ubuntu
[17:53] <jbrks> Kanerix, you don't want that. Older ubuntu's have security issues, I see no point looking back..
[17:53] <Flying> bbecause I don't know how to upgrade without a CD, a USB, or actually being inside the OS
[17:53] <Kanerix> jbrks, hah okay
[17:54] <Kanerix> Isn't there a way to force it to run in VESA mode>
[17:54] <Kanerix> ?
[17:54] <Flying> I'm not very well versed with Linux, and a lot of the jargon used by the techies honestly just confuses me. It looks like chinese to me
[17:55] <jbrks> Kanerix, also older X didnt do autoconfiguration as good now. For eg: in the past you needed an xorg.conf file, now X doesnt need one at all and dynamically can detect hardware much better.
[17:55] <Flying> like, I have no idea what it means to run it in VESA mode
[17:55] <Kanerix> jbrks, I have experience with older linux, just not older ubuntu. I miss the days of xorg.conf actually
[17:56] <jbrks> Kanerix, I say use virtualbox and do whatever the hell you like
[17:57] <Flying> how can I upgrade my current version, in the most noobfriendly way to a more recent one without actually going in the OS? can I do it through recovery? can I do it through the command line?
[17:57] <Kanerix> Kanerix, um why would I need to? I was talking about not having experience for helping Flying. I have no interest in running old Ubuntu and I'm not quite sure why you think I need it
[17:57] <Kanerix> er
[17:57] <Kanerix> lol
[17:57] <Kanerix> that was to jbrks
[17:57] <Flying> I'm just at a loss
[17:57] <jbrks> lol
[17:58] <tanin> ha
[17:58] <jbrks> Kanerix is a noob
[17:58] <Kanerix> Flying, well there's actually a way to highjack the running bootloader to boot USB, but it's not very friendly
[17:58] <Kanerix> jbrks, um, no
[17:58] <Kanerix> very much not
[17:58] <ersel> hi all
[17:59] <Kanerix> jbrks, don't mistake lack of experience with ubuntu for lack of experience with linux. I've been using opensuse for over a decade =p
[17:59] <jbrks> I dont think opensuse was out that long
[18:00] <jbrks> you really are making things up.. but nways.. get the topics rolling people
[18:01] <Kanerix> jbrks, wow, really dude?
[18:01] <Kanerix> jbrks, congrats on being that ignorant
[18:01] <jbrks> opensuse was out for 5 years, not over a decade.
[18:02]  * jbrks ends noob discussion
[18:02] <Kanerix> Try 1994
[18:02] <Kanerix> You really aren't getting it, are you
[18:03] <Flying> ok, jbrks I have Ubuntu 8.04 installed on my computer. Since I can't do nomodeset on it for the reason you stated above and I'd like to upgrade anyway (but can't because I am unable to boot from USB/CD and I get a black screen after the Ubuntu load screen). Is there any way that I can do this either in recovery mode, or through the command line "press C for command" (as I get this option in my grub menu)? If so, can you please give me
[18:04] <Flying> really, all I want is someone to help me... and I get many suggestions that just confuse me a lot more and never really solve anything :/
[18:04] <GirlyGirl> Kanerix: Suse was out for a longtime. But OpenSuse is a recent thing
[18:04] <compdoc> 8.04 is quite old and does not support newer hardware as well. dump it
[18:04] <Kanerix> GirlyGirl, yeah, it's habit to type opensuse. I started on SuSE 7.3, technically
[18:05] <jbrks> Flying, people here don't even know what you're asking. Maybe the video hardware is kaput.. did you try hardware tests/memory tests?
[18:05] <Kanerix> compdoc, he's trying to. He can't boot a live disk of any sort, and the hard drive only has 8.04 on it
[18:05] <Flying> jbrks, yes I did.
[18:05] <Flying> no errors
[18:05] <david-goodger> trism: success with BurrTools, thanks!
[18:05] <jbrks> Flying, I won't help anybody with a ubuntu that old.. upgrade
[18:06] <trism> david-goodger: excellent, you're welcome
[18:06] <Kanerix> Flying, the problem is that you have to edit the GRUB boot parameters to tell it to boot a live disk instead of what's installed on the hard drive
[18:06] <Flying> WELL NO SHIT....
[18:06] <Flying> Im asking for the command to upgrade
[18:06] <Flying> like..
[18:06] <Flying> aghhh
[18:06] <FloodBot1> Flying: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:06] <Guest59506> Someone take a look and tell me where I'm going wrong http://paste.ubuntu.com/928280/
[18:06] <Kanerix> Flying: I'm trying to help you.  I can't guarantee it'll be problem free
[18:07] <Guest59506> I also tried yours
[18:07] <jbrks> Flying.
[18:07] <Flying> I've said like 4 times I can't boot from CD or USB
[18:07] <Flying> and I cant get into my OS
[18:07] <Kanerix> Guest59506, no, you didn't. You put "cd" in front of it
[18:07] <Flying> read
[18:08] <Kanerix> Flying, I don't think he realizes that you and I are different people
[18:08] <jbrks> Flying, then ask your friend for the password. You've used enough profanities on me. Bye.
[18:08] <roasted> Question - Unable to start DHCP Server on 10.04... No error when I start the service, but it still brings up a - instead of + when I do service --status-all. /etc/defaults is listed for eth0 and eth1 (the NICs in use for DHCP), but still no further luck. Any idea?
[18:08] <fellayaboy> is there a way i could use ssh a key file instead of a password  to authenicate my ssh connection
[18:08] <Flying> you're still retarded, I'm putting you on my ignore list.
[18:08] <Kanerix> Flying: okay how many drives do you have in this machine? I know you have a hard drive and an optical drive, right?
[18:08] <mneptok> Flying: have you tried either booting with -nosplash or just seeing if you can get to a TTY after a little while? while GUI stuff may be broken, the CLI is probably still around.
[18:09] <mneptok> and that's the end of that.
[18:09] <Kanerix> wow
[18:09] <Kanerix> sigh
[18:09] <Kanerix> I was trying to help him -_-
[18:09] <MonkeyDust> Flying  if you have more than one pc, you can ssh to your not-working pc and try to repair from there
[18:09] <Tom5_> how the hell does freenode not have a java channel?
[18:09] <Kanerix> MonkeyDust, he's banned =/
[18:09] <Kanerix> fellayaboy, it is possible, but I'm not sure how to configure it
[18:10] <mneptok> Tom5_: ##java
[18:10] <fellayaboy> do u nkow a website atleast
[18:10] <cccangel> is there a PPA for Wine 1.5? the wine1.3 (which should point to rolling releases) now references stable wine1.4
[18:10] <MonkeyDust> Tom5_  that's double #
[18:11] <sharkmonkey> xfce4-power-manager only works for me if i launch it as root. Is there some group or something I need to be a member of for it to be able to suspend/hibernate and whatnot?
[18:11] <mneptok> fellayaboy: you configure the sshd to accept keys (and maybe only keys) and then put the public key in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
[18:11] <Guest59506> http://paste.ubuntu.com/928287/
[18:11] <Kanerix> fellayaboy, google ;)
[18:11] <fellayaboy> ok i just have to figure out how to generate a keyh
[18:12] <mneptok> fellayaboy: ssh-keygen
[18:12] <Kanerix> Guest59506, sudo mkdir /media/sdc1
[18:12] <Kanerix> then try it again
[18:12] <fellayaboy> awesome

[18:12] <fellayaboy> mneptok wheres the sshd.conf file in ubuntu 11.10?
[18:13] <mneptok> fellayaboy: /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[18:13] <MonkeyDust> fellayaboy  use locate sshd to find out
[18:14] <sharkmonkey> maybe i need to do something with policy kit?
[18:14] <fellayaboy> mneptok i see just ssh_config thats fine right?
[18:14] <mneptok> fellayaboy: no
[18:15] <mneptok> fellayaboy: ssh is not the same as sshd
[18:15] <mneptok> fellayaboy: is sshd installed on that machine?

[18:16] <zykotick9> fellayaboy: "apt-get install ssh" will work, or openssh-server

[18:16] <pheleven> One of my 10.04 systems had an update this morning (likely delayed for a few days or weeks by the user) kill the Nvidia drivers (Nvidia Kernel module failed to load). Nothing exciting happened to cause it, as far as I can tell. The user is running the standard 2.6.32-40-generic kernel, and i reinstalled the nvidia drivers (they built against the correct kernel). It seems that the update installed the noveau drivers, which I removed prior to reinstalling
[18:16] <pheleven>  the nvidia drivers... having no luck so far. Any suggestions?
[18:16] <fellayaboy> oh okay so stupid of me i have to go to the server
[18:16] <fellayaboy> im so dumb
[18:17] <fellayaboy> ok mneptok i got it
[18:18] <fellayaboy> mneptok what should i configure on sshd.confg
[18:19] <mneptok> fellayaboy: you should open the file as the root user in a text editor, and look through it and learn the settings. you'll see everything you want to know about keys and passphrases.
[18:20] <paulus68> ikonia: is there to your knowledge a way to start the 11.10 server cd with commandline (this should allow me to tell the installer to use the preseed file that I created
[18:21] <ikonia> paulus68: you can't start a CD
[18:22]  * mneptok pours icing on ikonia's cinnamon roll
[18:22] <fellayaboy> thank u guys
[18:22] <fellayaboy> i appreciate mneptok
[18:23] <paulus68> ikonia: meaning when the cd is in the cdrom drive booting up and tell the installer through the cli  where the preseed file is located
[18:23] <ikonia> paulus68: it's more than that, as it's a squashed file system that decompresses and runs things from certain locations
[18:27] <paulus68> ikonia: I used an example from this book prentice hall: the official Ubuntu server book 2010 2nd edition where it states that when the installation cd is booting up and gets to the screen where you can select the language you have to hit F6 in order to alter the standard preseed location
[18:28] <ikonia> paulus68: yes, and the key thing is "booting" so it's already decompressed, rather than running it as an executable as you want to do
[18:29] <hplc> does ReiserFS have any future? or one should go with ext4?
[18:29] <ikonia> hplc: ext4 is current and being developed
[18:29] <Kanerix> Since Reiser murdered his wife, it's... unmaintained
[18:29] <paulus68> ikonia: sorry for the wrong explanation on my behalf the purpose is that I get the possibility to alter this
[18:29] <Kanerix> and yes, that's why
[18:30] <ikonia> paulus68: no need to apologize, just explain what you need if I'm not understanding
[18:30] <paulus68> ikonia: hold on
[18:30] <hplc> well it could have been a mistake, he perhaps intended to kill a process?
[18:30] <Kanerix> haha
[18:31] <Kanerix> nice
[18:31] <ikonia> ok, no more silly jokes please
[18:31] <Kanerix> killall -9 wife

[18:31] <Kanerix> ask your question
[18:32] <rotundnut> installed ubuntu 12.04 daily build..running excellent, but how do i fucking revert this reverse scrolling thing? my touchpad is elantech
[18:32] <ikonia> rotundnut: you need to start to moderate your language
[18:32] <ikonia> rotundnut: it is totally uncalled for and not welcome
[18:33] <sharkmonkey> Could  someone give me the output of "find /etc/polkit-1/ -type f -exec echo {} \; -exec cat {} \;" on a standard ubuntu install?
[18:33] <hylian> is there a way to directly access the ubuntu one music store via website? or do i have to use something like rhythmbox?
[18:33] <rotundnut> ikonia: ok not saying again, but is there a way to revert this "natural scrolling"?
[18:34] <ikonia> rotundnut: no idea without checking
[18:34] <Myrtti> rotundnut: also, #ubuntu+1 for 12.04 issues
[18:34] <rotundnut> ok going there

[18:41] <paulus68> ikonia: on an alternate installation cd you have this option available didn't find it for the server installation cd
[18:41] <tj2> My laptop is running Ubuntu 10.10 and for some reason it is booting into tty1 instead of gnome.
[18:41] <pickelsss> can an upstart job with a instance not start on reboot?
[18:41] <mraxilus> can anyone help me, my notifyosd notification appear to have stopped working...
[18:41] <ikonia> paulus68: what option ?
[18:41] <ikonia> paulus68: bottom line is, you can't "boot" something from a running OS
[18:42] <paulus68> ikonia: to hit F6 hit escape and alter the location of the preseed file
[18:42] <ikonia> it won't work
[18:42] <ikonia> paulus68: that is from a non-booted system
[18:42] <ikonia> paulus68: you cannot "run" the cd from within a booted system
[18:44] <paulus68> ikonia: correct but on that line you can inform the installer that the preseed file is located on http://someplace/preseed.cfg and hit enter the setup is going to continue using the preseed file if it's correctly build up
[18:44] <dougl> I had to reinstall windows on my dual boot ubuntu box and now my grub is gone - is there a way to recover grub?

[18:46] <ikonia> paulus68: it's not going to work....try it,

[18:46] <dougl> ssta, thanks
[18:47] <paulus68> ikonia: check the image on page 87 from the pdf that I sent you in pm and I am sorry to inform you I was able to do exactly this using the alternate installation cd now only searching for a way to achieve this with the installation cd for ubuntu server
[18:48] <ikonia> paulus68: great, then why are you asking for help if you know you can do it and know it works ?
[18:49] <ikonia> in honesty, I don't see the point of what you are doing, if you are booting a CD to point at a CD image, why not just install from the CD rather than an image on a disk
[18:49] <ikonia> you've already got the working image if you are infact booting it
[18:49] <paulus68> ikonia: because I miss this particular option when I launch the server installation cd it goes directly to install the system and I don't have to my knowledge a way to alter the path of the preseed file location
[18:49] <ikonia> it seems like a flawd problem with a pointless fix
[18:49] <ikonia> paulus68: right, so the server install doesn't allow it
[18:49] <ikonia> paulus68: so there is your answer, that option is not there
[18:49] <paulus68> ikonia: the point is that I want to launch a unattended setup
[18:50] <paulus68> ikonia: and I am also looking into a pxe server
[18:50] <ikonia> paulus68: launching a unattended setup is is different than pointing at an image of a cd
[18:50] <paulus68> ikonia: in order to achieve just that
[18:50] <MonkeyDust> sounds like a OEM setup to me
[18:50] <mraxilus> my notifyosd notifications are not working lately can anyone help?
[18:51] <paulus68> ikonia: agreed that it's different and with the alternate cd it's working for the desktop envirement however would have liked to achieve this for the server aswell
[18:53] <paulus68> ikonia: I will experiment a little bit more with the preseed file for desktop thanks for your help and if you like the pdf just copy it :)
[18:53] <speekeasy> hey can anyone help me out with an issue im having with ubuntu 11.10
[18:53] <ikonia> pdf ?
[18:53] <DeLorean731> does 11.10 come with a utility to password protect (encrypt) a folder?
[18:53] <paulus68> ikonia: the link I sent you in pm
[18:53] <ikonia> oh, I didn't see a pm
[18:53] <ikonia> I'll have a read later
[18:53] <oofus> --
[18:53] <ssta> DeLorean731: you can encrypt a filesystem...don't think you can encrypt just a directory
[18:54] <paulus68> ok
[18:54] <jbrks> !ask
[18:54] <DeLorean731> ssta: hmm... do you know of a third-party utility that isn't too hard to use?
[18:55] <ssta> DeLorean731: what you're looking to do can't be done.  Any third party utility will bundle the folder into a loopback mounted filesystem that's encrypted.
[18:55] <debian_noob> what utility should I use to repair a FAT filesystem on a microSD memory card?
[18:55] <ssta> DeLorean731: which is something you can already do yourself
[18:56] <jbrks> debian_noob, what do you mean repair? undelete?
[18:56] <debian_noob> nope
[18:56] <genii-around> debian_noob: dosfsck
[18:56] <debian_noob> im getting CRC errors
[18:56] <jbrks> debian_noob, there's things like e2fsck.vfat or similar.. ya. dosfsck
[18:57] <ssta> DeLorean731: see tools like encfs and cryptmount
[18:57] <debian_noob> dosfsck didnt work
[18:57] <debian_noob> i formatted it]
[18:57] <debian_noob> deleted partition
[18:57] <debian_noob> used mkdosfs
[18:57] <debian_noob> in short, everything
[18:58] <debian_noob> is it safe to assume that the card is dying?
[18:59] <diimdeep> hello why via apt-get available nginx/0.7.65 or tmux/1.1-1 when available 1.0.15 and 1.6 ? 10.04 by the way..
[18:59] <jbrks> debian_noob, do you get errors in the log (type dmesg<enter>)
[19:00] <ssta> diimdeep: because 10.04 is 2 years old?
[19:00] <Pici> !latest | diimdeep
[19:00] <debian_noob> jbrks, hold on a minute im running fsck again, will remount and tell you
[19:00] <ludwin01> how to sinchronyse ipod touch 2 gen via banshee
[19:00] <ludwin01> ?
[19:01] <diimdeep> ssta: waht packages available for latest dictro ?
[19:01] <diimdeep> *distro
[19:01] <ssta> diimdeep: 12.04 is a long-term support release.  It's due the end of the month
[19:01] <jbrks> debian_noob, try using the mountpoint, like -> find /mnt/mymountpoint,  if find says an error, then type dmesg
[19:01] <Pici> !info nginx precise
[19:02] <jbrks> debian_noob, using the find command like forces it to use the disk alot and see what happens
[19:02] <diimdeep> i see now
[19:02] <debian_noob> jbrks, reading isnt a problem
[19:03] <debian_noob> writing is
[19:03] <debian_noob> after writing a few MB, it stops
[19:03] <ludwin01> im using 10.04 lts distro, i need to sync an ipod touch
[19:03] <jbrks> debian_noob, ok then see if there are any reset or hw messages related to the card in dmesg
[19:04] <jbrks> debian_noob, u of course have things backed up? you should anyways..
[19:05] <debian_noob> jbrks, yes i do..but putting it back on the card is a pain..
[19:05] <debian_noob> i have to use windows and connect the phone in Samsung Kies mode
[19:06] <debian_noob> and strangely, i can write stuff onto it without problems
[19:06] <debian_noob> but of course it is really slow
[19:06] <jbrks> debian_noob, you sure you're writing to the card, and not to the built-in storage of the phone?
[19:07] <debian_noob> jbrks, yes i'm sure
[19:07] <jbrks> debian_noob, it may be certain parts of the card not workingn well.. try dumping the whole card to /dev/null
[19:07] <jbrks> debian_noob, you dont need to mount it, just -> cat /dev/<the device>  >  /dev/null    and wait for it to finish..
[19:07] <debian_noob> well, fsck.vfat is still running..
[19:08] <jbrks> debian_noob, fsck.vfat doesnt see if it can read all the sectors
[19:08] <debian_noob> jbrks, yeah, but i better let it finish

[19:17] <Guest29925> I've installed the beta version of Ubuntu 12.04. Now I'm trying to complete multimedia support. Streaming media won't work as before (10.04). I'm only using the totem-mozilla plugin and I've installed ubuntu-restricted-extras, w32codecs and non-free-codecs. Whenever I open an audio stream the totem-mozilla player displays visual effects which can't be disabled and no buttons are visible. Is this a known issue with the latest version
[19:17] <Guest29925> of totem/totem-mozilla? Here is a test stream: http://www.england.fm/ (liquidfm for example)
[19:17] <digitald2> help me guys i have a printer that isnt supported but ubuntu Epson AcuLaser M1200
[19:18] <Guest59506> sudo mount /dev/sdc1 to /media/sdc1 http://paste.ubuntu.com/928402/
[19:18] <Guest59506> Did I liave something out of that command
[19:19] <compdoc> dont use 'to'
[19:19] <compdoc> you should google examples of the command
[19:20] <digitald2> can't print properly here
[19:21] <digitald2> have my windows 7 dvd on my hand and im ready to insert it to my cd drive
[19:21] <guntbert> Guest59506: the syntax is:   sudo mkdir /media/mydisk     and then       sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /media/mydisk
[19:22] <ssta> digitald2: if it's not supported, there's not much we can do
[19:22] <Kanerix> guntbert, man I told him that like an hour ago... sigh
[19:23] <digitald2> ssta , yes i understand but i just bought it
[19:23] <digitald2> and i'm not gonna buy a new one
[19:23] <javierf_> it's not possible anymore to download a video by saving the video file from tmp folder?
[19:23] <digitald2> i'd rather format to windows and forget this whole thing is more logical to me
[19:23] <ssta> digitald2: bring it back.  Google suggests it's possible to make it work albeit with some effort.  I've never used that printer so I dunno for sure
[19:24] <ssta> digitald2: you have to do whatever you have to do
[19:24] <digitald2> i have no choice
[19:24] <EvilResistance> digitald2:  you may be able to find drivers if you google for em though
[19:24] <digitald2> and not much money
[19:24] <EvilResistance> i know recommending google is bad, but still
[19:24] <digitald2> EvilRes i've googled it

[19:25] <Somelauw> Is there a way in nautilus to open a terminal in the current folder?
[19:26] <digitald2> anyway...
[19:26] <ssta> digitald2: you can dual boot if you want to.  I agree that sometimes the lack of easy driver support can be annoying.  Usually I look at all the positives and weight them up and stick to Linux myself.
[19:26] <Guest29925> Somelauw, install nautilus-open-terminal
[19:27] <digitald2> i believe you should choose an os only

[19:28] <Jecika> Hi
[19:28] <digitald2> i was stupid i bought a printer that isn't supported and i didn't even check if its compatible with linux .  my old inkjet printer was compatible
[19:28] <_255> When I try to boot from Ubuntu desktop installer cd this screen show up and I get stuck : http://imagebin.org/207933
[19:28] <_255> Could someone help me to figure out what does it means please?
[19:29] <ice_> ubuntu-se
[19:30] <Somelauw> Probably needs a reboot, since it isn't working yet.
[19:30] <ssta> digitald2: Linux should do better for drivers.  Sometimes it's the fault of the manufacturer and can't be helped.  I know that's not must consolation to you though :)
[19:30] <digitald2> dont buy from epson
[19:30] <digitald2> hp has better support
[19:31] <guntbert> !enter | digitald2
[19:31] <ice_> is it possible to mount ufs2 with write support in kernel.. sitting on a ubuntu 12 live cd and I can mount my ufs disks with option ro
[19:31] <ssta> I tend to only buy HP laser printers...preferably with onboard postscript support.  They Just Work :)
[19:31] <Somelauw> digitald2: I have the same problem. Both my printer and scanner don't run under linux. Well, my printer actually works fine for black-white.
[19:32] <digitald2> i was stupid ... what i was thinking ?? (i guess only the price) i thought linux would support my printer it has support for many devices...
[19:33] <digitald2> im ungry
[19:33] <digitald2> now
[19:33] <digitald2> thank you for your help bye bye and dont buy epson

[19:39] <TheFuzz4> I haven't done a grub splash in a long time
[19:39] <Pici> loxs: well, for updating your plymouth theme, you can use: sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth && sudo update-initramfs -u

[20:03] <savage> installed 10.04 just fine, on a partition. dual boot with windows 7, had it set up with windows loader first the grub2.  after playing with some android dev tool, it changed my grub version i think, it looks different anyway. upon reboot i get the new or different grub then if i choose i get windows loader then i have the choice to go back to grub again.  regardless of either grub i use to enter linux it wont boot, if i choose to boot
[20:03] <savage> i have more info
[20:04] <li0s> I need some help guys ('n girls if so) to install this theme in ubuntu unity 11.10 http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/A+New+Start?content=128431
[20:05] <savage> i put in the live cd to see if i can fix the issue and it comes up with "NO ROOT DIRECTORY FOUND, PLEASE FIX IN PARTITION MANAGER"
[20:05] <roasted> Question - is there any way to create a custom entry on the LightDM login screen? It's a long story but I basically want the ability to select an option (perhaps another user, I don't know) that will run a terminal command, and then reset the login screen as if it was a fresh boot. Any idea?
[20:07] <ubuntu> hello
[20:07] <Crell> Hi folks.  I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 and trying to mount an sshfs remote using this tutorial: http://www.howtoforge.com/mounting-remote-directories-with-sshfs-on-ubuntu-11.10
[20:07] <li0s> is there any tutorial on how to install themes in ubuntu unity 11.10 ?
[20:07] <Crell> It seems to work fine, but only for root.
[20:08] <Crell> Is there no way to mount an sshfs remote and make it accessible to normal users?  I have the directory I'm mounting to owned by the user I want, but it's still not picking up.
[20:08] <ssta> Crell: how exactly are you mounting it?
[20:08] <zykotick9> roasted: [just an idea] but solaris used to have a shutdown user, who's interpreter just pointed to the shutdown command.  perhaps you couse create a script with the command you need followed by a restart of you DM?  then create a user with that script as it's interpreter?  i'm sure there's a better way ;)  good luck though.
[20:08] <TheFuzz4> Crell, let me see if I can find the answer to that
[20:09] <TheFuzz4> I've fixed that before
[20:09] <Crell> ssta: With sshfs, per section 3 on that tutorial.
[20:09] <roasted> zykotick9: ehh, I need this to be at the login screen, not shut down... we're running 11.04 on some laptops here (moving to 12.04 very soon), but sometimes the generic profiles we have on them get corrupt and won't log in. We go to log in and they just loop back to login, over, and over, and over.
[20:09] <_255> Any idas folks?
[20:10] <roasted> zykotick9: I set up a simple script on a flash drive I run under the local administrator account, which rm -rf's the home directory, recopies it from /etc/skel, and chown + chmod's it properly and it works great.
[20:10] <Crell> Oh now this is interesting...
[20:10] <_255> s/idas/ideas
[20:10] <ssta> Crell: the tutorial seems massively xomplex.  It's as simple as: sshfs user@host:/path mountpoint/
[20:10] <zykotick9> roasted: that's what i'm suggesting.  when you log in as that user, it's going to run your script...
[20:10] <savage> IVE LOST ROOT DIRECTORY, can anyone point to a fix
[20:10] <roasted> zykotick9: I want to take that script, except add it as a login option via radio button... so if the teacher is having issues with a particular student, he/she can click, it runs, log in, bam done
[20:10] <Crell> TheFuzz4, ssta: If I run sshfs as my own user without sudo, it succeeds and mounts the directory but then root cannot access it.  JUST my user.
[20:10] <Crell> That's bizarre.
[20:10] <ssta> Crell: you do NOT use sshfs as root (usually)...unless you have a good reason to
[20:10] <roasted> zykotick9: you're proposing run it EVERY time they boot up?
[20:11] <ssta> Crell: yes...that's how it should be.  Why would root want to access it?
[20:11] <Crell> Doesn't root get access to everything by definition?
[20:11] <ssta> Crell: only locally.  Not remotely
[20:11] <noname120> [Hi ! I've network issues with my broadcom 43xx wifi card : I've xubuntu and I installed the driver, the network manager of xubuntu don't show the wireless connections . I tried to install wicd but this can't find any network neither . But with backtrack, a bunch of wireless network are found and I can connect on them
[20:11] <Crell> Ah.
[20:11] <zykotick9> roasted: no, only when you want/need to.  it won't be the default user in anyway - but there could be a choice for "RESET SYSTEM" as a user that would run whatever you need it to - then restart to DM, so the real user could then log in.
[20:12] <ssta> Crell: otherwise the fact that I'm root on THIS system would give me ownership of everyone's systems
[20:12] <Crell> Hm.  OK, fair point.
[20:12] <roasted> zykotick9: hm, do you have any sort of link that might build on this a bit more? This is sounding like an attractive idea.
[20:12] <roasted> zykotick9: is there a proper name for this that I could Google?
[20:12] <noname120> Can anyone help me please ?
[20:13] <ssta> Crell: in general, just mount the sshfs again if more than one user needs it (it's the simplest way)
