[06:34] <glebihan> MrSmoke, do you have any way you could specify some kernel options (via web interface or something...) ?
[06:36] <sanydvk> Hi people, i need help! Sorry for my English i'm Russian.  I need to mount partition HTFS/EAFS from SCO UNIX to Linux Mint/Ubuntu. How this do? tell me please.
[06:36] <theadmin> sanydvk: We don't support Mint.
[06:36] <Free-man> sanydvk did you just try to mount the partition?
[06:37] <sanydvk> just not mount this partition
[06:37] <Free-man> sanydvk did it fail?
[06:39] <MrSmoke> glebihan: Ok i removed the 2 lines i added
[06:39] <MrSmoke> glebihan: booted back up fine
[06:40] <glebihan> MrSmoke, nice
[06:40] <Free-man> yay
[06:40] <sanydvk> not mounted, how many did not try to constantly bug
[06:40] <glebihan> MrSmoke, you said running those two commands manually did work ?
[06:40] <Free-man> sanydvk what?
[06:41] <glebihan> sanydvk, Free-man, as already told, we don't support Mint here
[06:41] <Free-man> glebihan that's not a prohibition
[06:41] <glebihan> Free-man, yes it is
[06:41] <Free-man> why?
[06:41] <Free-man> linux is linux
[06:41] <glebihan> Free-man, because it's offtopic
[06:42] <Free-man> withholding knowledge is bery badbad
[06:42] <Free-man> very
[06:42] <MrSmoke> glebihan: ok strange, mysql started fine, eventhough i had rebooted the vps many times before and it didnt
[06:42] <glebihan> MrSmoke, then I guess you will have to never reboot it again :)

Where can I find this option in Firefox 5.0 Safe mode?
[06:43] <sanydvk> glebihan: Mint is a branch of ubuntu
[06:43] <glebihan> Free-man, it's not about withholding informations, if you want to help him with Mint, then go on a mint channel to help him
[06:43] <Free-man> glebihan then tell him, not me.
[06:43] <glebihan> sanydvk, Mint if not one of the official versions of Ubuntu
[06:44] <Free-man> glebihan and it's definately withholding if the info is on the tip of your finger!
[06:44] <glebihan> Free-man, I did tell you both, and he was already told before
[06:44] <MrSmoke> glebihan: Lucky its linux and thats actually a possible feat
[06:44] <glebihan> MrSmoke, yep
[06:46] <theadmin> sanydvk: Мы не поддерживаем Mint.
[06:46] <sanydvk> glebihan I have a second comp is ubuntu and the same is not mounted. thank for this help :(
[06:47] <sanydvk> theadmin understand, thanks for help :(
[06:47] <theadmin> sanydvk: No problem.
[06:48] <theadmin> sanydvk: I know it's odd
[06:53] <[deXter]> Hi all, anyone know how to covert ppa:xyz urls into a proper deb <blah> url so that I can add it to sources.list manually?
[06:56] <bullgard4_> http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Importing%20Bookmarks%20from%20an%20HTML%20File?s=%22import+bookmarks%22&as=s: "you can delete all of your bookmarks at once from Firefox Safe Mode by selecting the Delete all bookmarks except for backups option." Where can I find this option in Firefox 5.0 Safe mode?
[06:56] <theadmin> [deXter]: We have "add-apt-repository" which adds them
[06:56] <[deXter]> theadmin: Yes I know but I can't use it...
[06:56] <theadmin> [deXter]: However, I could just write a small script for that for you just now :D
[06:56] <[deXter]> I'm behind a proxy and that command doesn't work
[06:57] <Polah> [deXter], http://ppa.launchpad.net/<owner>/<name> I believe. If you look at the launchpad pages for the ppa you want to add it'll tell you exactly what to put into your sources.list
[06:57] <[deXter]> Polah: Ah, neat, thanks
[06:58] <[deXter]> theadmin: Thanks.. but I don't want to be too much of a trouble. :)
[06:58] <theadmin> [deXter]: Actually, it's http://ppa.launchpad.net/OWNER/NAME/ubuntu
[06:58] <[deXter]> hmm
[07:00] <B4ckBOne> Good Morning ubuntu friends :-)
[07:01] <theadmin> [deXter]: I have no idea why, don't ask me
[07:01] <theadmin> B4ckBOne: Morning.
[07:01] <bkerensa> B3ckB0ne: morning
[07:01] <theadmin> bkerensa: tab.
[07:01] <theadmin> !tab | bkerensa
[07:01] <B4ckBOne> I need the latest tar 1.26, because it fixes some bugs with --listed-incremental    any chance of getting it in proposed .. or even updates ? https://www.gnu.org/software/tar/tar.html
[07:02] <theadmin> B4ckBOne: Compiling from source is the best option on Ubuntu to get the latest stuff
[07:02] <bkerensa> B4ckBOne: Find the .deb?
[07:03] <theadmin> !checkinstall | B4ckBOne: You may find this useful
[07:03] <stealz> Help! I can't get pasuspend wine to work :(
[07:04] <B4ckBOne> thx theadmin bkerensa ubottu, can i will compile on another machine than my server .. dont want to install build tools on the server.
[07:04] <theadmin> B4ckBOne: Sounds fine.
[07:05] <theadmin> !thanks | B4ckBOne
[07:06] <bkerensa> B4ckBOne: Why not just install the build tools and compile the tar version you need then remove the build tools... Whole process should take just minutes :)
[07:06] <B4ckBOne> bkerensa: hmm ok
[07:09] <NameLess-exe> 'ello, i wam currently installing ubuntu, and i left 4gb from so that i could create a /swap partition for ubuntu, currenlty i am on the setup process, and it says that it is unusable, any clues on why?
[07:10] <farciarz84> time+calendar dissappeared from my taskbar how to relounch it?
[07:10] <theadmin> farciarz84: right click, add to panel, clock
[07:11] <farciarz84> theadmin: right click doesn't work, ubuntu 11.10. I'm obliged to use it beacuse <=11.04 doesn't support my hardware. Asked also at #ubuntu+1 nobody responses
[07:12] <Polah> NameLess-exe: what is unusable? The free space?
[07:12] <NameLess-exe> Polah: yup
[07:12] <theadmin> farciarz84: Ah, well, we can't support 11.10 here
[07:13] <Polah> NameLess-exe: That's strange. Have you tried writing it as something other than swap?
[07:14] <NameLess-exe> Polah: i can't aven add a new parition with that free space
[07:14] <Polah> NameLess-exe, that's very strange. Perhaps try running a SMART test on the drive.
[07:14] <theadmin> NameLess-exe: Do you happen to have 4 primary partitions?
[07:14] <theadmin> NameLess-exe: If so, that means you can't add more.
[07:14] <NameLess-exe> theadmin: lol, yes, is that why?
[07:14] <theadmin> NameLess-exe: Yep
[07:15] <theadmin> NameLess-exe: You should consider messing with extended partitions
[07:15] <snn> quite happy with my natty now that ive customised it ^_^ thanks for all your help guys.
[07:16] <snn> that is all
[07:16] <NameLess-exe> theadmin: messing around? nah, i just fried the windows parition by messing around the other day
[07:16] <theadmin> NameLess-exe: Okay. Well, see you all later.
[07:16] <NameLess-exe> :D
[07:18] <Halabund> Hi! If I install Ubuntu with default setting (side by side with WinXP), it won't even boot.  I get an out of disk error.  What's the right partitioning to use to avoid this?  Here's what I have now: http://img1.uploadscreenshot.com/images/main/8/22203023363.jpg
[07:19] <urlin2u> Halabund, you don't have a ext type partition just 2 ntfs and a fat.
[07:20] <Halabund> urlin2u, correct.  I don't have it installed at the moment.  I would like to know what partitioning to use to install it in such a way that it will actually boot up.  I already installed several times, tried different things, can never get ubuntu to boot on this machine ever since it switched to using grub2 (in 9.10 I think?)
[07:21] <Polah> Halabund: No particular partitioning needed. A partition for Ubuntu and a few GB for a swap partition.
[07:21] <bullgard4_> http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Importing%20Bookmarks%20from%20an%20HTML%20File?s=%22import+bookmarks%22&as=s: "you can delete all of your bookmarks at once from Firefox Safe Mode by selecting the Delete all bookmarks except for backups option." Where can I find this option in Firefox 5.0 Safe mode?
[07:21] <engammalsko> Hi, can you access this site? http://<IP_ADDRESS>/test.html
[07:22] <bullgard4_> engammalsko: Yes.
[07:22] <Polah> engammalsko: IF that site consists of red and green boxes with text and menu in them
[07:22] <engammalsko> bullgard4_: Polah: Yes, thanks : )
[07:23] <Myx0x3> Dammit! one package is hold back! in apt-get dist-upgrade! how do i force it to upgrade? ive done it on another computer..
[07:23] <Halabund> Polah, then why won't it boot?  If I let it put swap first, I get an "out of disk" error and a half-functional grub2 recovery prompt.  If I put the root partition first manually, I get a grub2 recovery prompt with autocompletion and everything working, but it still won't boot.  So I thought the reason for the error is the particular partition layout I have.
[07:23] <urlin2u> Myx0x3, go to synaptic it willprobably install, at your own risk though.
[07:23] <engammalsko> I had a really weird ip, right? I think that's cuz I'm on mobile internet atm.
[07:24] <Myx0x3> urlin2u: CLI..
[07:24] <Myx0x3> urlin2u: im over SSH
[07:25] <Polah> halabund: Could be a corrupt install, i.e. from an improperly burned disc or an incorrectly downloaded .iso. Check the md5 hash of the iso you have with the ones on the wiki to make sure it's correct. Also, when booting from the LiveCD hold down shift and it'll give you a menu, select "Verify disk integrity" or something along those lines
[07:25] <urlin2u> Myx0x3, generally there are reasons why it wont, could you wait a day to see if it is available.
[07:25] <Polah> engammalsko: The same as every other IP.
[07:26] <Halabund> Polah, it's not a corrupt install.  Problem is the same for several different ubuntu versions, and I've downloaded more then once.  Also I always let the cd burner verify that it's been burnt correctly.
[07:26] <Halabund> Polah, it's not the first time I try to install it during the past year.
[07:26] <Myx0x3> urlin2u: its been like this for two three weeks..
[07:27] <harsh-backtracke> Hello everybody
[07:27] <tripelb> is there a way to install a toggle button on the panel for MUTE?
[07:27] <harsh-backtracke> can anyone help me please ?
[07:28] <Halabund> ( Polah, guy yo read the electicity meter is here, brb)
[07:28] <ObrienDave> Greets all. Anyone have trouble installing ANY ubuntu flavor on a large USB hard drive? Been trying on a 2TB for days.
[07:28] <Polah> halabund: I don't know. Could be a damaged/malfunctioning disk that GRUB doesn't like installing to the MBR section. You could try installing on another drive
[07:28] <Polah> ObrienDave: What sort of trouble are you having?
[07:28] <ObrienDave> Polah: drive will not boot when done
[07:29] <Myx0x3> urlin2u: and ive build it from source, maybe thats why i cant update it
[07:29] <Polah> tripelb: In GNOME if you click the sound icon in the indicator applet then there's a mute option under that.
[07:29] <tripelb> !ask | harsh
[07:29] <harsh-backtracke> Okay.. thank you
[07:29] <Polah> ObrienDave: Take a look at this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent#Making_the_drive_bootable
[07:30] <tripelb> palah yes I know that. I want a one click option not a two click option. Just my taste. I dont have to readjust my focus. To tell the truth a big visible button would be best.
[07:30] <ObrienDave> Polah: will do. tnx.
[07:30] <harsh-backtracke> my question is.. Can I install Google chrome on backtrack ???
[07:30] <tripelb> good night Ubuntees
[07:31] <urlin2u> harsh-backtracke, probably,  but we don't support backtrack.
[07:31] <Polah> harsh-backtracke, perhaps. Backtrack isn't supported here. You could try anyway
[07:31] <[deXter]> harsh-backtracke: Join #backtrack-linux
[07:32] <harsh-backtracke> I tried.. but it can't be connected with backtrack's server
[07:32] <harsh-backtracke> I don't really know
[07:32] <[deXter]> Oh
[07:32] <[deXter]> You'll have to register your nick first
[07:33] <Polah> tripelb: There's an option in keyboard shortcuts to bind a key to do it
[07:33] <urlin2u> harsh-backtracke, running in root is not a good thing as well on the irc
[07:33] <[deXter]> harsh-backtracke: First change your nick by typing /nick YourNewNick
[07:34] <harsh-backtracke> Okay guys, thanks anyways I'm gonna try
[07:34] <harsh-backtracke> Cya
[07:34] <[deXter]> harsh-backtracke: Then register it with nickserv: /nickserv REGISTER password email-address
[07:41] <Halabund> Polah, windows has installed just fine on this drive.  I have one drive in this computer, I cannot install on another drive.  The thing is, I tried to install many times during many months, every time I end up with the "out of disk" error, and I don't even know where to look for help.  Google turned up nothing that worked (all are a variation on this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Rescue
[07:41] <Halabund> %20Mode%20%28%27%27grub%20rescue%3E%27%27%29%20Booting ), and if I come here for help, people ask me to "test" things that take about 15 min each (no exaggeration, it's the live cd boot delay every time), and usually lead nowhere. (No one believes it of course when I tell them I tested that before...)  I really need to have linux this time, but it just won't boot from my computer.  I'm out...
[07:41] <Halabund> ...of my wits.
[07:41] <cypha> does python-pasterscript come installed on ubuntu by default?

[07:51] <study> can anyone tell me the cmd to install clipgrab <IP_ADDRESS> for 10.10.
[07:51] <Polah>  study: sudo apt-get install clipgrab if it's in the repos probably
[07:52] <jenk> HI ! What does '%u' stand for in 'firefox %u' ?
[07:52] <kbrosnan> jenk: url
[07:53] <study> tried both polah but still wont upgrade from <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:54] <Polah> study: Perhaps it isn't available in the repos then. You could try to find the source and build it yourself
[07:54] <jenk> kbrosnan, A little more ? The Transmission launcher also has the same.
[07:55] <kbrosnan> jenk: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URI
[07:55] <Polah> jenk: It's to specify a URL. You can take it out if you like.
[07:57] <jenk> kbrosnan, Thank you very much, I read that.
[07:57] <jenk> Polah, Oh ! Thanks, though !

[08:21] <Hemebond> Is there a log that contains what the Run Application dialog is doing?

[08:21] <Udonnome> hey guys,is there a way to change the dencity of teh screen on ubuntu,everything is so big,like my laptop thinks i am blind
[08:22] <Hemebond> Udonnome: The screen resolution?
[08:22] <Udonnome> and my notebook does not support res bigger then 1024x ...
[08:22] <Hemebond> So what are you hoping to shrink?
[08:23] <Udonnome> everything
[08:23] <ParkerR> Hemebond, He want the dpi lower
[08:23] <ParkerR> *wants
[08:23] <ParkerR> *higher
[08:23] <ParkerR> Or whichever way it goes XD
[08:23] <Hemebond> Higher
[08:24] <Hemebond> Not sure how to do that in Ubuntu.
[08:24] <ParkerR> I would look but my internet and or computer are hating me
[08:24] <Hemebond> oh
[08:24] <Hemebond> Appearance
[08:24] <Hemebond> Under the font tab.
[08:24] <Hemebond> Details...
[08:25] <ParkerR> Umm thats just font sizes backgrounds and themes
[08:25] <urlin2u> applications-monitor it is a netbook I doubt you can go any higher
[08:25] <urlin2u> mine wont
[08:26] <Hemebond> Hmm. A higher DPI made my fonts larger.
[08:26] <Hemebond> They look nice, though :-)
[08:26] <ParkerR> Actually it is in appearance XD http://www.howtolearnlinux.com/2009/06/03/how-to-increase-dpi-in-ubuntu/
[08:26] <nankura> you guys only just realised what DPI does?
[08:26] <ParkerR> No
[08:26] <nankura> o.0
[08:26] <Hemebond> Yes. I've never bothered to play with it.
[08:26] <ParkerR> Just where it was in Ubuntu
[08:26] <nankura> ah
[08:27] <Hemebond> Also, why does a lower DPI result in a larger font? Oh wait. It's not setting the DPI.
[08:27] <Hemebond> It's just adjusting the font to that DPI.
[08:27] <Udonnome> but this thing only reduce the font`s
[08:27] <ParkerR> Lower dpi is what Udonnome wants
[08:27] <ParkerR> Makes everything smaller
[08:27] <Hemebond> Udonnome: You are after higher resolution.
[08:27] <ParkerR> At least for me
[08:28] <Hemebond> ParkerR: Where did you set that?
[08:28] <Hemebond> ParkerR: That link? Appearance? That's where I am already.
[08:28] <ParkerR> Click monochrome then details
[08:28] <ParkerR> I dunno
[08:29] <Udonnome> so is there a way ? :)
[08:30] <Hemebond> Udonnome: Yes, increase your resolution.
[08:30] <Hemebond> Or try a theme that... shrinks stuff.
[08:30] <Kingsy> can someone tell me a nice gnome based password vault I can use that is already in the ubuntu repos?
[08:30] <Hemebond> Udonnome: What are you trying to shrink specifically?
[08:30] <Hemebond> Udonnome: Is the font not enough?
[08:30] <ParkerR> Kingsy, keepass?
[08:30] <Udonnome> i cant my notebook does not suppoer any bigger the 1024 x
[08:31] <Kingsy> ParkerR: umm ok let me search for that
[08:31] <ParkerR> Or however it is spelled
[08:31] <Udonnome> Hemebond,nope teh fons are ok,the everything else is bigger
[08:32] <Hemebond> Udonnome: Everything else?
[08:32] <Hemebond> Udonnome: Tried a different theme?
[08:32] <Polah> Kingsy: The GNOME Keyring. System > Preferences > PAsswords and Encryption Keys
[08:32] <Udonnome> icons,top bottom bar,windows,buttons ... :)
[08:33] <Hemebond> Udonnome: Yeah. Theme.
[08:33] <Udonnome> ive tryed few themes,same thing,but will try few more
[08:33] <Hemebond> Same thing?
[08:33] <AdvoWork> can anyone recommend a translation eng - french, eng - spanish (ie a tool that will work with ubuntu) I cant find one
[08:34] <Hemebond> Udonnome: Are you using Metacity?
[08:34] <ParkerR> http://cl.ly/2W1P311a2S2x282U3N01 Is this #ubuntu-unregged
[08:34] <ParkerR> Ahh crap
[08:34] <ParkerR> Was wondering why it said both up top
[08:35] <Udonnome> metacity,sry i dont know what that is
[08:35] <Kingsy> I installed keepass, its great, thanks
[08:35] <Polah> Udonnome: GNOME's window manager for anything before 11.04
[08:35] <ParkerR> Btw loving 11.04 after customizing :)
[08:36] <ParkerR> Kingsy, Np
[08:36] <Polah> Kingsy: There's no real need to add an additional program to manage passwords.
[08:36] <ParkerR> Polah, why not?
[08:36] <ParkerR> It can store anything
[08:36] <ParkerR> Even random bits you dont want to forget
[08:37] <Kingsy> oh yeah, your right..
[08:37] <Polah> ParkerR: The GNOME keyring can store passwords and suchlike and it's already installed by default, unless you're using another environment but I believe KDE at least has a similar thing
[08:37] <ParkerR> Polah, I've never seen a GUI for the gnome keyring. Just when it pops up every once in a while
[08:37] <Udonnome> ou,i have matecity installed,but i dont know how to find it,to check it`s settings
[08:38] <Hemebond> Udonnome: Are you on 11.04?
[08:38] <Udonnome> yes
[08:38] <Hemebond> Udonnome: Then you are probably using the new bar thing. Unity?
[08:38] <Polah> ParkerR: System > Preferences > Passwords & Encryption Keys
[08:39] <Hemebond> Udonnome: Anyway, I'm not using that so I can't recommend theme settings for you.
[08:39] <ParkerR> Polah, ahh thanks
[08:39] <Udonnome> nope,i use it without effects
[08:39] <ParkerR> TIL gnome keyring has a GUI XD
[08:39] <Hemebond> Udonnome: Ubuntu Classic without effects?
[08:39] <Udonnome>  yes
[08:39] <Hemebond> Udonnome: Ah, you are on Metacity then.
[08:40] <Udonnome> ou :(
[08:42] <Udonnome> so i cant do anything about it?
[08:42] <ParkerR> Woo current setup http://cl.ly/1e2c0C3z0X1Z2d232m38

[08:43] <nankura> does anyone here know how you enable/show desktop icons in Bodhi linux E17
[08:44] <ParkerR> nankura, Well it's not Ubuntu so no
[08:44] <nankura> its based on ubuntu 10.04
[08:44] <goddard> anyone use alpine?
[08:45] <Udonnome> ok,will give it a try
[08:45] <ParkerR> goddard, its the SSH password on my iPod XD
[08:45] <ParkerR> goddard, No I have not used Alpine for email
[08:45] <ParkerR> I have used mutt
[08:45] <Hemebond> Udonnome: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=136084
[08:46] <Hemebond> Udonnome: I just Googled for "metacity theme compact"
[08:46] <goddard> ParkerR: how was it?
[08:46] <ParkerR> I like it. Nice and simple. goddard you use gmail?
[08:47] <goddard> ParkerR: i have a few emails

[08:51] <zykes-> anyone knows what the difference is on /etc/ldap.conf and /etc/ldap/ldap.conf ?
[08:54] <shbk_ru> does anybody know ,are there manual for windows.h? I'm trying to understand it, but there are a lot of unknown for me google doesn't know nothing
[08:56] <sena> http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/Aa383688 shbk_ru
[08:57] <goddard> cool
[08:58] <ParkerR> Hehehe Inbox not found http://cl.ly/2P08241U3k1o1I2B0P12
[09:00] <shbk_ru> sena, thanks, there are a lot of info. but in windows.h I see such things like  "extern unsigned wns_mtype();            /* make everyone happy */ " (line 71).  where can I find out about this from?
[09:00] <sena> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows.h
[09:05] <kltrg> Hi. Is there any way to move the close/minimize/maximize buttons in the unity top panel to the right?
[09:06] <iceroot> !controls | kltrg
[09:08] <kltrg> Thanks, iceroot, but this only applies to windows not maximzed. I didn't find any method to change the order in the top panel so far
[09:09] <Hemebond> kltrg: Looked in gconf-editor?
[09:09] <goddard> kltrg: not that i know of maybe a unity hack if you wanted to bang your head for awhile
[09:09] <goddard> ParkerR: haha
[09:10] <iceroot> kltrg: hm strange, never saw fullscreen-windows still have it on the "wrong" side but i am not using unity/gnome
[09:10] <ParkerR> goddard, glad someone noticed :)
[09:10] <goddard> surprised it wasn't in junk
[09:10] <goddard> spam rather
[09:11] <goddard> or was it?
[09:11] <ParkerR> Haha
[09:11] <ParkerR> ?
[09:11] <kltrg> iceroot, I didn't have any issues with that before using Unity either. I tweaked the gconf settings before, Hemebond
[09:11] <goddard> nvm
[09:11] <Hemebond> kltrg: I'm not sure if it works under Unity (I just use regular Metacity and Gnome 2), but under gconf-editor > Apps > metacity > general > button_layout
[09:12] <ParkerR> goddard, you like? http://cl.ly/1d231F40060f2J0p2M1Q
[09:12] <goddard> ParkerR: thats one sexy lady
[09:12] <ParkerR> And theme XD
[09:13] <sikor_sxe> hello, i have an issue. my programs do not stay in launcher, after i pin them there. they dissappear after every login
[09:13] <goddard> and theme :D
[09:13] <kltrg> Ok, thanks, guys. I'll have to live with it, I guess
[09:13] <sikor_sxe> this is true for every app i put ther
[09:13] <ParkerR> kltrg, wait
[09:13] <sikor_sxe> what can i do about this?
[09:13] <ParkerR> kltrg, what are you trying to do again?
[09:13] <sikor_sxe> or is there any unity logfile to check what could be wrong?
[09:13] <goddard> sikor_sxe: probably configuration file permissions or something
[09:14] <Polah> ParkerR: What's the little frequency monitor at the bottom right?
[09:14] <rohit_> how to copy all the files from a directory excluding some files...??
[09:14] <ParkerR> Polah, CPU scaling
[09:15] <kltrg> ParkerR, I want to move the close/max/min buttons in the Unity top panel to the right
[09:15] <ParkerR> Ahh
[09:15] <ParkerR> That can be done
[09:15] <ParkerR> One sec
[09:15] <ParkerR> kltrg, Ok alt f2 then type gcong-editor
[09:16] <ParkerR> * gconf-editor
[09:16] <kltrg> ParkerR, Ok
[09:16] <ParkerR> Apps
[09:16] <ParkerR> Metacity
[09:16] <ParkerR> General
[09:17] <ParkerR> Then change the button layout line to ":maximize,minimize,close" without the quotes
[09:18] <envygeeks> should probably do "menu:maximize,minimize,close" so your window doesn't look all lopsided from a sloppy gtk theme
[09:18] <goddard> no concussions kltrg your in luck
[09:18] <kltrg> ParkerR, I've already done that but that only applies to the window decoration, not to the top panel. Therefore, buttons are still on the left side in maximized windows
[09:19] <ParkerR> kltrg, that should apply to any sized window
[09:19] <ParkerR> kltrg, maybe take some screenshots
[09:19] <envygeeks> kltrg: that's part of unity, you can't fix that, it's part of the design that they said they *won't* change
[09:19] <ParkerR> Oh
[09:19] <ParkerR> I do have Unity off XD Ubuntu Classic theme
[09:20] <ParkerR> And this is part of why I do this
[09:20] <kltrg> envygeeks, That's sad because a geconf-setting for that wouldn't affect normal users at all
[09:20] <Onepamopa> anyone care to explain why removing mysql-server-core-5.1 also removes 50 additional packages, like: kubuntu-desktop kpackagekit and so forth ..?
[09:20] <ParkerR> Unity has little quirks that turn me away
[09:20] <sikor_sxe> i checked all permissions for .* files
[09:20] <sikor_sxe> icons still dissappear from launcher on login
[09:20] <goddard> maybe kubuntu uses mysql
[09:20] <kltrg> ParkerR, It has but it also has some cool things that make me use it
[09:20] <sikor_sxe> is there any logfile?
[09:21] <sikor_sxe> for unity?
[09:21] <Onepamopa> goddard: well, I prefer using percona mysql, not oracle mysql
[09:21] <Onepamopa> thats ..... no comment
[09:21] <goddard> haha
[09:21] <envygeeks> Onepamopa: please paste.ubuntu.com the output so we can see what packages
[09:21] <kltrg> ok, thanks and bye
[09:21] <goddard> Onepamopa: mysql was alright now oracle has it
[09:22] <Onepamopa> goddard: another thing, how can it use mysql when mysql is not even configured OR running at all
[09:22] <ParkerR> Why does everyone hate oracle?
[09:22] <ParkerR> XD
[09:22] <Onepamopa> w8 to pastebin the packages
[09:22] <Onepamopa> ParkerR: cuz oracle sux a lot
[09:22] <goddard> Onepamopa: i haven't tried it but they do have databases that run only when needed
[09:22] <goddard> like Access :D
[09:23] <envygeeks> Onepamopa: well you don't have to worry about oracle for a couple more years and by then another fork from a foundation will have kicked off, for now they are closely monitored by the government to make sure that MySQL stays alive and keeps moving along and that they can't use any of the patents against people.
[09:23] <Onepamopa> envygeeks: http://pastebin.com/LcxSZvN1
[09:23] <Onepamopa> here's the list
[09:23] <Onepamopa> envygeeks: actually, I use percona 5.5 cause it's a hell of a lot faster than oracle's mysql 5.5
[09:23] <Onepamopa> + has special support for ssd disks
[09:24] <envygeeks> The latest MySQL does too, as well as Oracle partitions
[09:24] <Onepamopa> envygeeks: benchmarks tell a different storry :)
[09:24] <Onepamopa> and in my case preformance is a key factor
[09:24] <sikor_sxe> hmm... other people have this as well: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1744040
[09:25] <Onepamopa> envygeeks: so, what do u think about pastebin stuff ?
[09:25] <Onepamopa> theres no way to install percona while mysql-server-core-5.1 is installed
[09:25] <envygeeks> Onepamopa: I think you might need to file a bug against it, some of those packages I know shouldn't need mysql this seems like an accidental dependency issue
[09:25] <Onepamopa> envygeeks: sure seems like it...
[09:26] <Onepamopa> where do I file a bug report ?
[09:26] <rrrreimer> hi everyone
[09:27] <envygeeks> onepamopa: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug
[09:27] <rrrreimer> I'm new to ubuntu, how do I upgrade inkscape to 0.48? apt-get tells me that my inkscape is already the newest version but it's not
[09:27] <phoque> it appears that my rc.local isn't working after upgrading to natty
[09:27] <rrrreimer> installed is 0.47
[09:27] <envygeeks> onepamopa: if it does that silly redirect to you, then just remove +filebug and press the file a bug on the right side
[09:28] <ikonia> rrrreimer: that is the current one supported by ubuntu, why do you want .48 ?
[09:28] <sikor_sxe> here aswell: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1751115
[09:28] <sikor_sxe> an unity logfile would help
[09:28] <rrrreimer> I have some shell scripts which seem to not work with 0.47
[09:29] <ikonia> rrrreimer: do you know it's .47 that is the problem ?
[09:29] <Onepamopa> envygeeks: I asume that the bug MAY be fixed after let's say.. 3-4 months ?
[09:30] <Onepamopa> havent ever had this issue @ 10.04
[09:30] <rrrreimer> ikonia: "Inkscape encountered an internal error and will close now" I think it's inkscape
[09:30] <envygeeks> onepamopa: could be, you could check the latest devel cd and see if it's already fixed in 11.10, if it's not I would say file a bug and get it fixed before 11.10 before it does become a pain to fix
[09:31] <Onepamopa> envygeeks: Im using 11.10
[09:31] <Onepamopa> (I think)
[09:31] <Onepamopa> isntalled a week ago
[09:31] <envygeeks> 11.04 is the latest stable
[09:31] <Onepamopa> ah, so 11.04..
[09:32] <rrrreimer> ikonia: I'll check if it supports exactly the same arguments used in my scripts, write you back soon
[09:32] <Onepamopa> envygeeks: is there a "unstable" repository for 11.10?
[09:32] <envygeeks> onepamopa: I don't work with KDE that much so I can't give you a URL like I could for Ubuntu or Xubuntu, you'll have to hit up #kubuntu for a archive URL
[09:33] <Onepamopa> envygeeks: noone alive @ kubuntu, Im already there :)
[09:33] <envygeeks> Let me see if I can find one
[09:33] <Onepamopa> why do u think I joined here... ;)
[09:34] <bollom> why does ubuntu install openldap with alot of strange configuration?
[09:34] <phoque> ouww, and classic gnome panels display icons way too large
[09:35] <bollom> does someone know how to reset configuration to blank?
[09:36] <Onepamopa> envygeeks: seems like launchpad has some issues of its own,registered, didnt receive confirmation code, just a "forgot password" mail :)
[09:36] <Onepamopa> now cant login at all, "password doesnt match"
[09:36] <Onepamopa> :)
[09:36] <Lafiir> Oh my. Pidgin just told me "Unable to connect: Error resolving irc.ubuntu.com" I did break something. Any ideas what?
[09:36] <rrrreimer> ikonia: inkscape 0.47 supports all the arguments used in my script, maybe in some cases 0.47 doesn't like svg files made with 0.48
[09:40] <zabomber> hey guys. anyone know of a technology other than WebDav that allows "mounting" a URL?
[09:41] <ikonia> rrrreimer: if that's the case you'll need to verify that, and log a bug requesting a package update detailing the issues with .47
[09:42] <ParkerR> zabomber, FTP?
[09:42] <zabomber> ParkerR: can i mount a SFTP location?
[09:43] <ParkerR> Yes
[09:43] <zabomber> I'm such a douche...
[09:43] <zabomber> lol
[09:43] <iml> zabomber: yes, with fuse
[09:43] <zabomber> thanks
[09:44] <zabomber> fuse?
[09:44] <AtomSpin> any1 know where I can check if my driver has been taken out of staging area for in the kernel
[09:44] <ParkerR> man fuse
[09:44] <zabomber> sorry ParkerR: i was thinking more along the lines of port 80 access...
[09:44] <ParkerR> Or fuse --help
[09:44] <Sandking> i need to do something like this - whenever in defined directory appears file run script that will execute batch of commands - could anyone tell me what would be the easiest way?
[09:44] <ParkerR> zabomber, thats just http protocol
[09:45] <zabomber> ParkerR: i know… i want to be able to mount a directory on a remote server via a Port 80 proxy...
[09:45] <pianoterra> hello

[10:12] <jo-erlend> I am trying to help someone who deleted his wubi install. Can someone provide a list of the files created by wubi 11.04?
[10:13] <ParkerR> :D I'm in love http://i.imgur.com/rIrVT.png
[10:13] <BenjamixXx> ParkeR: wine?
[10:13] <ParkerR> Yep
[10:13] <ParkerR> A work of art, that WINE is
[10:14] <Polah> jo-erlend: If you're planning on copying another install over, reinstalling would be easier.
[10:14] <BenjamixXx> btw, wubi sucks :D
[10:14] <ParkerR> Mhmm
[10:14] <jo-erlend> Polah, he deleted files from /host/ubuntu. And this is important to him, so I'm trying to help him undelete. But I need a list of files to look for.
[10:14] <Polah> jo-erlend: Tell him to back up the stuff he wants to keep through Windows and reinstall.
[10:14] <ParkerR> BenjamixXx, you seen my desktop? http://cl.ly/1d231F40060f2J0p2M1Q
[10:15] <jo-erlend> Polah, he cannot boot.
[10:15] <szal> BenjamixXx: nothing new :P
[10:15] <BenjamixXx> Im new here, so everything is new :D
[10:15] <JYRO> BenjaminxXx:  Thanks  for your aswer... but... what is the difference??? I don't understand the link
[10:15] <GreenCloud> hi, does anyone know how to temporarily disable plymouth xsplash in ubuntu 10.04? thanks
[10:16] <BenjamixXx> JYRO: it is debian packages, there you open the 2 of them and see the description, so you will probably understand
[10:16] <Polah> jo-erlend: He can boot into Windows...
[10:16] <BenjamixXx> ParkeR: USING CHROME ON LINUX?!
[10:16] <KadirB> hi
[10:16] <jo-erlend> Polah, I think he deleted Windows too.
[10:16] <Polah> jo-erlend: In which case he needs to reinstall both.
[10:16] <ParkerR> GreenCloud, Plymouth and xsplash are two different things
[10:16] <ParkerR> *separate
[10:16] <BenjamixXx> ParkerR: dude, you really use chrome on linux?
[10:17] <jo-erlend> Polah, the point is that he has deleted things he need to recover. I need to know what files to look for.
[10:17] <ParkerR> BenjamixXx, yeah. Why?
[10:17] <theadmin> BenjamixXx: Why not?
[10:17] <BenjamixXx> well
[10:17] <BenjamixXx> that chromium vs. chrome thing
[10:17]  * theadmin uses Opera
[10:17] <ParkerR> It's a nice fast browse
[10:17] <ParkerR> *browser
[10:17] <theadmin> BenjamixXx: Chrome just has support from Google.
[10:17] <ParkerR> And I prefer Chrome > Chromium
[10:17] <theadmin> BenjamixXx: Chromium does not
[10:17] <Polah> jo-erlend: Anything he NEEDS to recover would be his own files. He should know where they are and you can boot from a LiveCD/USB and back those files up elsewhere. Anything else to do with the system would be simpler to fix by reinstalling
[10:18]  * BenjamixXx uses NetscapeNavigator :P
[10:18] <jo-erlend> Polah, yes, the harddisk file is what I'm trying to help him recover.
[10:18] <KadirB> ddd
[10:18] <KadirB> dddddd
[10:18] <BenjamixXx> lol
[10:18] <wildbat> BenjamixXx: as you see the post have at least more then one "solution" ~ not to speak about goole :> ~ but which of those is the proper one :> ~
[10:18] <jo-erlend> Polah, he has files. Personal files. A wine install with lots of data, etc. Reinstalling Ubuntu will not recreate personal files.
[10:19] <BenjamixXx> wildbat: try, if it doesnt work, try another. etc.
[10:19] <theadmin> jo-erlend: All of those are under ~.
[10:19] <BenjamixXx> ffk, try
[10:19] <theadmin> jo-erlend: Theoretically recoverable.
[10:19] <64MAA25X8> hello
[10:19] <jo-erlend> theadmin, he has deleted his harddisk.
[10:19] <BenjamixXx> sup
[10:19] <GreenCloud> ParkerR: i mean the plymouth's splash screen on boot up? is there a way to disable it... increasing boot up speed
[10:19] <Polah> jo-erlend: There is no "harddisk file". I just told you to boot a LiveCD/USB to back those up. We don't know where he put his personal files, they could be anywhere and you'd be better asking him where to look after booting fron a LiveCD
[10:19] <theadmin> jo-erlend: Sorry lolwut?
[10:19] <wildbat> BenjamixXx: hehe ~
[10:19] <KadirB> hi all
[10:19] <Polah> jo-erlend: He wiped the partitions?
[10:19] <KadirB> :D
[10:19] <jo-erlend> Polah, wubi doesn't partition the harddisk. It uses a harddisk file.
[10:20] <theadmin> jo-erlend: Oh... Yeah, that'd be... irrecoverable, true.
[10:20] <king44> ck
[10:20] <jo-erlend> theadmin, the disk file might be recoverable, if I know what I'm looking for.
[10:20] <theadmin> jo-erlend: True, true, there are tools for that
[10:21] <jo-erlend> theadmin, which is why I'm asking if someone can provide me with a list of the files wubi would have created in 11.04.
[10:21] <Polah> jo-erlend: Something like Recuva to search the drive and attempt to recover the deleted files since the data should still be there. Probably in C:\wubi or something like that, wherever he installed it.
[10:21] <theadmin> jo-erlend: C:\ubuntu\root.vdi is the file IIRC
[10:21] <theadmin> jo-erlend: And certain boot.ini entries
[10:21] <jo-erlend> theadmin, .vdi?
[10:22] <BenjamixXx> ParkerR: how can you be at so manny channel at once? :D
[10:22] <theadmin> jo-erlend: Virtual Disk Image, yes
[10:22] <BenjamixXx> channels*

[10:22] <BenjamixXx> I am on 4 channels and I think ill pass out :D
[10:23]  * theadmin can't handle more than 3 active channels
[10:23] <jo-erlend> theadmin, it's a normal raw image, yes?
[10:23] <BenjamixXx> theadmin, likewise
[10:23] <theadmin> jo-erlend: Let me read up on the format
[10:24] <BenjamixXx> its nice here, think i'll stick around :D
[10:24] <theadmin> jo-erlend: All Wikipedia has to say is that it's used by VirtualBox
[10:24] <theadmin> jo-erlend: Pretty much
[10:24] <theadmin> jo-erlend: So I think I were wrong
[10:24] <KadirB> guys ?
[10:24] <theadmin> jo-erlend: Could also be some ovf or whatnot
[10:24] <theadmin> jo-erlend: But no, it's no raw disk image
[10:24] <theadmin> KadirB: Stop that.
[10:25] <theadmin> (he's sending me random CTCP requests)
[10:25] <JYRO> BenjaminxXx:  I see the page... but... I reed about depends.... I don't see about libavdevice-extra-52
[10:25] <BenjamixXx> JYRO: in that case, i suggest only one thing, try and see :D
[10:26] <Nicd-> is there a simple way of creating a mac os -like guest account on ubuntu, that is wiped on logout? would wiping /home/accountname/* accomplish that? if I had to write a script to do that, where would I put it?
[10:26] <BenjamixXx> JYRO: install them both, if everything ok, delete one
[10:26] <KadirB> ok , sry
[10:26] <BenjamixXx> JYRO: if something wrong install again
[10:27] <jo-erlend> theadmin, this sounds really strange. I would expect wubi to call them something like root.disk.
[10:27] <theadmin> Nicd-: There is a "Guest session" option in your user menu
[10:27] <theadmin> jo-erlend: I don't remember exactly. Want me to test?
[10:27] <theadmin> jo-erlend: I can make a test WUBI install, it's no problem
[10:27] <JYRO> BenjaminxXx: ok... thanks
[10:28] <theadmin> jo-erlend: Except it would take me a while to download the disk image
[10:28] <BenjamixXx> JYRO: i didnt help you too much, but it should be ok now :D
[10:28] <Nicd-> theadmin: unfortunately I need a guest account, not a session. (it's going to be a public computer)
[10:28] <jo-erlend> theadmin, well, I'd really just like a list of default files, but I can't find any.
[10:28] <BenjamixXx> question, why are there no human admins here?
[10:28] <mina2> i have a problem with disappearing menus from gnome panel
[10:28] <mina2> someone suggests i should run sudo sh -c "/usr/share/gnome-menus/update-gnome-menus-cache /usr/share/applications/ > /usr/share/applications/desktop.${LANG}.cache"
[10:28] <theadmin> Nicd-: Oh... A logout script wiping the home directory probably
[10:29] <JYRO> BenjaminxXx: yes, everything is ok
[10:29] <theadmin> jo-erlend: I'll do that then (a test install)
[10:29] <mina2> should i substitute ${LANG} with ${US} or en-US
[10:29] <mina2> i am not sure
[10:29] <Nicd-> theadmin: where would I put it so that it's run on logout for the account?
[10:29] <theadmin> jo-erlend: Can you wait for about 20 minutes for my download to finish?
[10:29] <marduk_Raziel> hello
[10:29] <theadmin> Nicd-: That I do not know *shrug* If you use LXDM as your login manager, it'd be /etc/lxdm/postlogout... Though then it'd run the script when ANY account is logged out
[10:30] <BenjamiX> hm
[10:30] <BenjamiX> my nick is finaly ok :D
[10:30] <ParkerR> BenjamiX, http://parkerlreed.imgur.com/ubuntu
[10:30] <jo-erlend> theadmin, I don't think it's that important. Thanks :)
[10:30] <ParkerR> Just made the album
[10:30] <theadmin> jo-erlend: Um, it's no problem.
[10:31] <theadmin> jo-erlend: Plus I want to test the recent Mint anyway so the ISO will end up useful
[10:31] <BenjamiX> ParkerR: what kind of computer do you have? i mean, specs.
[10:31] <Nicd-> theadmin: ok. thanks for the help!
[10:31] <theadmin> jo-erlend: (Mint comes with WUBI too)
[10:32] <BenjamiX> ParkerR: i see you play minecraft too :)
[10:32] <ParkerR> Intel Core 2 Duo 2.13ghz 4gb RAM Nvidia Geforce GTX 260 1gb video RAM 16" 1366x768 screen
[10:32] <ParkerR> *260m
[10:32] <jo-erlend> theadmin, does it use the same filenames and such?
[10:32] <theadmin> jo-erlend: Yeah
[10:33] <BenjamiX> ParkerR: i see how can you run all of those things now :D
[10:33] <theadmin> jo-erlend: I'll open a PM session with you so I don't forget the nickname
[10:33] <ParkerR> BenjamiX, where do you see minecraft?
[10:33] <BenjamiX> ParkerR: pm?
[10:33] <ParkerR> Sure
[10:34] <Gateway`> Hello everybody, I would like to copy some files from my computer to a server using scp via ssh, but how can I mention on the command line that I have an other port number not 22
[10:35] <Gateway`> because I'm not using the default port number on the ssh connection
[10:35] <BenjamiX> Gateway': start a fps server on your vps, and then do it via ftp, not ssh
[10:36] <wildbat> Gateway`: scp --help
[10:36] <BenjamiX> or that
[10:36] <Gateway`> wildbat, thanks :)
[10:36] <purplefool> just got this message when trying to run synaptic:  E: Type 'ain' is not known on line 3 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu-wine-ppa-natty.list
[10:36] <purplefool> E: The list of sources could not be read.
[10:36] <purplefool> Go to the repository dialog to correct the problem.
[10:36] <purplefool> E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
[10:37] <BenjamiX> anyways, i have a debian on my vps, and i want that only i (my ip) can connect to it via ssh, any ideas?
[10:37] <purplefool> oops, sorry about that...didn't know that would happen!
[10:38] <purplefool> was wondering what i need to do to fix and then run synaptic again
[10:38] <Gateway`> wildbat, it worked using -P ;) thanks
[10:39] <Tralez> Hello is there any kind of software like daemon tools for my ubuntu?
[10:39] <Polah> BenjamiX: Set up iptables to only accept connections on your SSH port from your IP. Might be better to use authentication keys and suchlike rather than IP white/blacklisting, especially if you're on a dynamic IP (i.e. your home IP changes when your home router is restarted)
[10:39] <Polah> Tralez: There's a handful. AcetoneISO is one.
[10:39] <wildbat> BenjamiX: i think you can configure that in ssh_config , there is Host
[10:39] <Tralez> Thanks
[10:40] <Tralez> is it easy to use?
[10:40] <Polah> Tralez: Depends on your definition of difficult. I'd say it's fairly simple
[10:40] <wildbat> Gateway`: ;) always useful with --help :>
[10:41] <BenjamiX> Polah, wildbat: thanks guys.
[10:41] <purplefool> .etc should be in my home folder, right?  why can i not find it?
[10:42] <Myrtti> its not
[10:42] <theadmin> purplefool: It's not .etc
[10:42] <theadmin> purplefool: It's /etc
[10:42]  * BenjamiX off.
[10:43] <purplefool> ok, that is right...but should be in home folder, right? if not, where is it so i can diagnose my problem?
[10:43] <Acidpunk> It's in the / Drive
[10:43] <Acidpunk> When you open nautilus on the left you should see file system
[10:43] <Acidpunk> it's that dir
[10:44] <purplefool> ok, thx...dah! is too early for me!
[10:44] <Acidpunk> no problem
[10:46] <Polah> BenjamiX: Just in case you haven't already, I recommend changing your SSH port away from 22
[10:48] <ikonia> BenjamiX I recommend you don't change your ssh port away from 22
[10:49] <vbgunz> in my .bashrc I have some functions that sudo cannot use. how do I make my functions available under sudo?
[10:50] <Polah> ikonia: Why not?
[10:50] <Gateway`> to permit routing on every reboot, is it good to add "echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward" to /etc/network/interfaces or these is a better config file ?
[10:50] <ikonia> Polah: there is no need to.
[10:50] <Gateway`> ikonia, of course there is
[10:50] <ikonia> no there isn't, I'm not getting into this again
[10:50] <Polah> ikonia: Just added security. From my own experience I've seen A LOT of SSH attempts on port 22. People know it's default and use various methods to attempt to gain access to servers through it.
[10:51] <ikonia> Polah: so ? block it
[10:51] <ikonia> it's not added security
[10:52] <Polah> ikonia: Changing the port blocks it. You can configure a firewall to only allow access from a certain IP, which means it's inaccessible if that IP changes for whatever reason, alternately you can just change the port and negate most of those attempts
[10:52] <ikonia> Polah: no it doesn't block it
[10:52] <Kingsy> by default where does ubuntu put the php5 binary? I cant see it in /bin/
[10:52] <wildbat_semi_afk> Polah: a simple port scan and reveal a ssh ~ it is pointless
[10:52] <ikonia> Polah: I suggest you look at how to secure a box rather than changing ports
[10:52] <KadirB> va
[10:53] <theadmin> Kingsy: /usr/bin, obviously
[10:53] <Kingsy> theadmin: thanks
[10:53] <theadmin> Kingsy: /bin is for very important system binaries (without which you can't boot)
[10:54] <Gateway`> so guys
[10:54] <Gateway`> to permit routing on every reboot, is it good to add "echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward" to /etc/network/interfaces or these is a better config file ?
[10:54] <purplefool> how do i correct this problem: E: Type 'ain' is not known on line 3 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu-wine-ppa-natty.list  E: The list of sources could not be read.  Go to the repository dialog to correct the problem.  E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
[10:54] <Kingsy> theadmin: ah ok
[10:54] <ikonia> Gateway`: I put that as a kernel parameter, I don't believe (but don't know for certain) if it will work in /etc/network/interfaces
[10:54] <Polah> I'd still change it, it's a simple way to stop simple attempts.
[10:55] <ikonia> Polah: it's not
[10:55] <ikonia> Polah: and it has the potential to break things depending on what you are doing
[10:55] <Gateway`> ikonia, and how can I do that ?
[10:56] <ikonia> Gateway`: set it in sysctl
[10:56] <ikonia> Gateway`: net.ipv4.ip_forward
[10:58] <napster> hello
[11:00] <purplefool> ok, here is a copy of my ubuntu-wine-pa-natty-list...maybe one of you could tell me what is wrong here??  deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-wine/ppa/ubuntu natty main
[11:00] <purplefool> deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-wine/ppa/ubuntu natty main
[11:00] <purplefool> ain
[11:01] <purplefool> what is this 'ain' in the 3rd line?
[11:01] <ikonia> purplefool: you have the word "ain" randomly at the bottom
[11:01] <ikonia> purplefool: remove it
[11:01] <purplefool> lol! and why did it suddenly appear here?
[11:01] <ikonia> purplefool: you made a typo
[11:02] <purplefool> it just took me 30 minutes to find this file...i don't think i did anything in this file...it was put there by something...and that something was not me!
[11:02] <ikonia> purplefool: you made a typo
[11:02] <purplefool> thank you for reading my previous post
[11:03] <ikonia> no problem
[11:07] <love4linux> hello everyone... I would like to ask: why I can't cd in /var/log with sudo?
[11:07] <JennaL> hello, I recently installed the package irssi-scripts and I am wondering where that installed to.
[11:08] <Onepamopa> love4linux: su -
[11:08] <javier__> Hi to everybody. I'm in ubuntu 11.04 and I moved to my parents house. Here I always had problems with ubuntu's "networkmanager", connection is unstable. I kind of remember that kubuntu didn't have those problems, I think Wicd works properly. Could I have instaled both Network manager without interation? Do you recomend me changing? Another way of solving the problem?
[11:08] <Onepamopa> then cd /var/log
[11:08] <love4linux> Onepamopa trying it now
[11:08] <Gateway`> ikonia, thanks for the sysctl idea, it works fine ;)
[11:08] <theadmin> javier__: Just use wicd.
[11:08] <Onepamopa> love4linux:  as far as I know sudo is used to start an application, not to cd in some dir ;)
[11:08] <theadmin> javier__: sudo apt-get install wicd
[11:09] <glebihan> love4linux, sudo cd /var/log won't work, user "sudo -i" then "cd /var/log"
[11:09] <theadmin> "cd" is a shell built-in
[11:09] <Ryuk> hi
[11:09] <theadmin> You can't "sudo" shell built-ins
[11:09] <love4linux> Onepamopa with su - and my sudo pass throws an authentication failure
[11:09] <theadmin> love4linux: Use "sudo -i"
[11:09] <Onepamopa> love4linux: sudo passwd
[11:09] <Onepamopa> enter new password
[11:09] <Onepamopa> then su -
[11:09] <theadmin> love4linux: That's Ubuntu's "su".
[11:09] <Onepamopa> write the password
[11:10] <ikonia> love4linux: you should not do that
[11:10] <glebihan> Onepamopa, that's useless, use sudo -i instead
[11:10] <theadmin> Onepamopa: Do not use su on Ubuntu or you'll get screamed at
[11:10] <ikonia> Onepamopa: do not recommend that
[11:10] <ikonia> like this
[11:10] <JakeR003> firefox in ubuntu takes alot of RAM.. do you know why?
[11:10] <allu2> addons?
[11:10] <love4linux> okay too many answers and I am confused... what should I do? su -i?
[11:10] <Onepamopa> theadmin: well, its always better to have password assigned to root user :)
[11:10] <theadmin> JakeR003: Firefox *everywhere* takes a lot of RAMs.
[11:10] <ikonia> love4linux: "sudo -i" will give you a root shell
[11:10] <theadmin> Onepamopa: Not on Ubuntu
[11:10] <ikonia> Onepamopa: no it's not
[11:10] <love4linux> okays
[11:10] <glebihan> JakeR003, firefox in any system uses a lot of RAM
[11:11] <theadmin> Onepamopa: On Ubuntu the root account is locked out
[11:11] <Onepamopa> ikonia: maybe, but I always assign a password and login as root @ ssh, + few firewall rules and allowed only from my vpn ;)
[11:11] <theadmin> Onepamopa: And shouldn't be unlocked, doing so will void your warranty.
[11:11] <love4linux> ikonia su -i does not exist
[11:11] <ikonia> Onepamopa: well done on breaking the ubuntu security model
[11:11] <Onepamopa> theadmin: "locked out" ? :)
[11:11] <ikonia> love4linux: that's because I didn't say do that
[11:11] <glebihan> Onepamopa, do it if you want, just don't recommend it
[11:11] <theadmin> love4linux: "sudo -i"
[11:12] <love4linux> trying that
[11:12] <Onepamopa> ikonia: I have my own "security model" for that :)
[11:12] <ikonia> love4linux: I said "sudo -i" - if you can't listen, you shouldn't use root
[11:12] <purplefool> so...getting a bit frustrated with the usually very friendly help here.  all i need now is the command to edit a sources file.  tried with 'sudo edit' but would not take.
[11:12] <love4linux> sudo -i that worked
[11:12] <ikonia> Onepamopa: shame you're using ubuntu which in part rely on the account being locked,
[11:12] <ikonia> purplefool: edit is not a command
[11:12] <ikonia> purplefool: what text editor do you normally use
[11:12] <love4linux> ikonia listen to what?
[11:12] <bazhang> purplefool, gksudo gedit
[11:12] <theadmin> purplefool: Try "sudo nano"
[11:13] <ikonia> love4linux the commands I'm giving you
[11:13] <purplefool> bazhang, thank you for tip!
[11:13] <love4linux> ikonia : ) its okay i can listen
[11:13] <theadmin> purplefool: Or "gksudo xdg-open ..."
[11:13] <Onepamopa> ikonia: root account is still locked, just having a password and ssh port allowed only @ <IP_ADDRESS> (my vpn) :)
[11:13] <ikonia> Onepamopa: setting a password unlocks the account
[11:13] <ChessTeach> is there any applications availible that mimic awesomes ability to manipulate windows?
[11:14] <theadmin> Onepamopa: Stop talking about this, please.
[11:14] <Onepamopa> okay ;)
[11:14] <purplefool> so, that worked.  thx for your help.
[11:15] <zabomber> ChessTeach: manipulate windows?
[11:15] <Benkinooby> what package or service is responsible for the auto mounting?
[11:15] <zabomber> benkinnooby: /etc/fstab
[11:15] <zabomber> !fstab | Benkinooby
[11:16] <glebihan> Benkinooby, the mountall service
[11:16] <ikonia> baecker: depends what you mean by automounting
[11:16] <ikonia> oops
[11:16] <ikonia> Benkinooby, epends what you mean by automounting
[11:16] <ikonia> Benkinooby: do you mean when you plug in a usb disk ? or mounting the disks at boot
[11:16] <Benkinooby> zabomber, ikonia maybe my expression was a bit unlucky. when i plug in a pen drive
[11:17] <theadmin> Benkinooby: gvfs
[11:18] <JakeR003> how to start metacity ?
[11:18] <javier__> theadmin: so, wicd. Thanks
[11:19] <Benkinooby> theadmin, it's allready installed. i started with a ubunut minimal install
[11:20] <glebihan> JakeR003, metacity (or compiz) should be started when your desktop environment is loaded, what do you need to do exactly ?
[11:20] <Benkinooby> theadmin, ikonia zabomber i installed gnome-mount but it doesn't mount my pen drive
[11:20] <JakeR003> it's taking 36MB of RAM
[11:20] <javier__> theadmin: I installed wicd. I guess I have to exit network manager and start wicd. Will this start the indicator also?
[11:20] <JakeR003> i want to see what it does
[11:20] <ChessTeach> zabomber: Awesome automattically resizes windows so you can see two or more at the same time. Allows you to change the order and such
[11:20] <JakeR003> if there a possibility of disabling it without losing features ?
[11:20] <glebihan> JakeR003, no
[11:20] <ChessTeach> zabomber: all via the keyboard
[11:20] <theadmin> javier__: Yeah
[11:21] <zabomber> ChessTeach: sorry… I'm more a terminal guy...
[11:21] <glebihan> JakeR003, metacity is the window manager. Without it (or another one) you won't be able to do much in a desktop environment
[11:21] <love4linux> does anyone know a good (multi-featured) bandwidth monitor? text mode or gui it doesn't matter.. I want to use it in an ad-hoc net with a specific routing protocol to count packets, delays etc
[11:22] <glebihan> JakeR003, 36MB is not much...
[11:22] <ChessTeach> zabomber: maybe you are the guy i need to talk to then. I am trying desperatly to get rid of the mouse. How do you browse the web?
[11:22] <JakeR003> glebihan no everybody wants to buy more RAM
[11:23] <zabomber> ChessTeach: i use firefox :) curl when I'm doing basic searching for info on a page...
[11:23] <glebihan> JakeR003, sure, but metacity is probably the lighest windows manager you'll find (at least of the stable window managers)
[11:23] <JakeR003> send me the spare RAM sticks that you have
[11:24] <ChessTeach> zabomber: what if you have something open on the web and something you are editing in vim. You use the mouse to position the two windows so you can see both at the same time?
[11:24] <theadmin> glebihan: Not really
[11:24] <glebihan> theadmin, any other suggestion then ?
[11:24] <CodenameStrike> Openbox should do
[11:24] <zabomber> ChessTeach: i use a program called terminator (apt-get terminator) for all my consoles and i have two screens...
[11:25] <theadmin> glebihan: Openbox
[11:25] <theadmin> glebihan: xfwm4 too maybe
[11:26] <ChessTeach> zabomber: cool, I am going to look into that thanks (I have been using awesome for the last month, but it is way to buggy)
[11:26] <glebihan> theadmin, I don't know about openbox, as for xfwm4 I wouldn't use it with Gnome but I may be wrong
[11:26] <JakeR003> glebihan can i control how much swap file linux use?
[11:26] <theadmin> JakeR003: Linux uses swap partitions.
[11:27] <theadmin> JakeR003: If you don't have a separate partition, you don't have swap.
[11:27] <glebihan> theadmin, it's possible to use a swap file
[11:27] <JakeR003> ok what if i want to limit it?
[11:27] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq JakeR003 please have a read
[11:27] <JakeR003> ok thanks guys
[11:27] <JakeR003> and sorry for the troubles
[11:34] <Benkinooby> what's the best way to see the space used and remaining space of a pen drive, hardisk ?
[11:34] <glebihan> Benkinooby, use "df -h"
[11:35] <Benkinooby> glebihan, thank you
[11:35] <llutz> df works only on mounted filesystems
[11:35] <wason> Benkinooby: What's wrong with Disk Usage Analyzer?
[11:35] <IdleOne> df -h /media/some_name
[11:35] <Benkinooby> wason, commandline is faster ;)
[11:35] <Benkinooby> wason, commandline is faster ;) - for me
[11:36] <codemagician> Can anyone help with graphics problem causing random lit pixels off over my desktop display? Ubuntu 11.04 with ASUS GeForce EN210 Silent graphics card. Using NVIDIA 280.13 drivers
[11:36] <codemagician> ?
[11:36] <CodenameStrike> codemagician: How does that even look like?
[11:37] <CodenameStrike> the "random lit pixels" off over your display?
[11:37] <codemagician> CodenameStrike, when I scroll windows its specles
[11:37] <CodenameStrike> Probably something to do with hardware
[11:37] <codemagician> CodenameStrike, its drivers
[11:38] <codemagician> CodenameStrike, i saw this since switching to nvidia propriatary drivers
[11:38] <Abu-Aisha> is there a driver for canon mg520 (scanner, printer, fax, copier), i need the feature to print logo on to a black printable cd or dvd
[11:38] <CodenameStrike> CodenameStrike: Figures, but if you said the proprietary drivers caused this have you thought of trying to revert or something?
[11:39] <Abu-Aisha> blank cd/dvd
[11:40] <davro> Arrh that is why most criminals only get a maximum of 1 year, Magistrates Court can only give a maximum of 12 months lack of Crown courts!! , plus the lack of prison spaces.
[11:40] <\DSAFEW\> Abu-Aisha, did you google it? CUPS handles printer drivers, I've never heard of a printer printing on discs before though
[11:40] <bazhang> davro, ?
[11:41] <davro> whoopsie !
[11:41] <bazhang> davro, wrong channel
[11:41] <theadmin> lol
[11:41] <love4linux> how can I change the color for comments (#) in vim? Dark blue does not suit me
[11:41] <Abu-Aisha> \DSAFEW\ the canon vg520 has can print directly onto a blank printable disk, and yeah i tried to google it
[11:42] <Abu-Aisha> mg5240
[11:42] <maptz> how can I see informations about ram in my system?
[11:42] <ChessTeach> I am accessing my work machine through SSH by first connecting to another computer through SSH. Is there a way to do this with a single command? I hope this question is clear
[11:42] <maptz> just a doubt
[11:42] <theadmin> love4linux: :highlight Comment ctermfg=green
[11:43] <theadmin> love4linux: Or something.
[11:43] <love4linux> theadmin thank you
[11:44] <\DSAFEW\> Abu-Aisha, "canon vg520" is pulling up nothing but russian and polish websites
[11:45] <\DSAFEW\> oh I see
[11:45] <Abu-Aisha> the sys admin where i work kept saying "linux man, it's so great, it's open and it's free", yeah too bad my printers and cell phones aren't supported yet, why don't canon, lg, etc. write drivers for linux?
[11:45] <theadmin> Abu-Aisha: They're stupid
[11:45] <theadmin> Abu-Aisha: That's the only reason :D
[11:46] <theadmin> Abu-Aisha: As for phones, get an Android :P
[11:46] <love4linux> theadmin is there a way to see the colors supported/recognized by vim?
[11:47] <\DSAFEW\> Abu-Aisha, I had good luck googling "Canon PIXMA" linux
[11:47] <glebihan> Abu-Aisha, apparently they do write drivers for linux : http://software.canon-europe.com/products/0010890.asp
[11:47] <theadmin> love4linux: Not sure. I just googled "change comment color vim"
[11:47] <llutz> theadmin: where do you see good support for android-phones, theres not even a sync-app available yet
[11:47] <love4linux> theadmin no worries I will search for it
[11:47] <theadmin> love4linux: Uhm... sync?
[11:48] <\DSAFEW\> Abu-Aisha, I'm pretty sure if you don't have drivers for it already, they'll be in the software repo search pixma or canon or something like that
[11:48] <love4linux> theadmin what exactly can I do with sync?
[11:50] <m1h0> hey i am running ubuntu and i am trying to install a network printer hp1217nfw , i've downloaded the drivers from hplip, but when i install the driver and select the printer the installer says http://pastie.org/2355308
[11:50] <m1h0> is that a bug
[11:50] <m1h0> do i need a binary driver
[11:51] <Benkinooby>  love4linux i think theadmin was refering to llutz
[11:51] <Benkinooby>  love4linux i think theadmin was refering to llutz by mentioning sync
[11:52] <\DSAFEW\> m1h0, what do you mean by "i've downloaded the drivers from hplip"?
[11:53] <love4linux> Benkinooby i am sorry but I never heard of llutz.. what is it exactly?
[11:53] <javier__> theadmin: how to close networkmanager?
[11:53] <llutz> love4linux: just another poor user
[11:53] <Benkinooby> :)
[11:54] <love4linux> :  ) i dont get it guys
[11:54] <m1h0> \DSAFEW\,
[11:54] <llutz> love4linux: just forget about me and sync, it wasn't related to your problem at all, i guess
[11:54] <love4linux> okays
[11:57] <theadmin> javier__: sudo service networkmanager stop
[11:58] <JakeR003> how to change the swappiness in natty? 11.04
[11:58] <JakeR003> permantly
[11:58] <szal> swappiness?
[11:59] <llutz> JakeR003: change /etc/sysctl.conf "vm/swappiness=xxx"
[11:59] <llutz> vm.swapiness, sry
[11:59] <JakeR003> yeah that way
[11:59] <JakeR003> thanks
[11:59] <JakeR003> llutz
[11:59] <JakeR003> great answer
[11:59] <javier__> theadmin: I get the message: unrecognized service
[12:00] <theadmin> javier__: That's odd...
[12:00] <theadmin> Doesn't NM run as a service?
[12:00] <theadmin> javier__: Okay, you can just "killall nm_applet" or what it's called
[12:00] <\DSAFEW\> m1h0, try installing hplip from the software center
[12:00] <m1h0> nah the drivers there are old
[12:01] <m1h0> meh
[12:04] <niez> hi, I'm having problems with swftools on ubuntu server 11.04: Package 'swftools' has no installation candidate
[12:06] <niez> my sources.list: http://www.nopaste.pl/13f5
[12:07] <sindile> unable to connect to the network when using a static ip address in network manager applet
[12:07] <niez> sindile, are your DNS servers correct?
[12:09] <sindile> niez: connecting via a router an the DNS are okay, using dhcp there is no problem
[12:09] <livingdaylight> my new internal hd just arrived. Wondering Ubuntu 32-bit or 64-bit ?
[12:10] <coz_> livingdaylight,  completely up to you!   go 64 if you can
[12:10] <niez> sindile, first try to ping your router
[12:10] <livingdaylight> coz_, adobe air and flash seem to be the issues that creep up with 64-bit?
[12:11] <coz_> livingdaylight,  yeah ,, not sure how much of an issue they are at this point,, I generally go 32  to avoid any 64  issue at this point,,
[12:12] <coz_> livingdaylight,  I dont recall hearing too much about flash on 64 bit recently,, but I am not always here
[12:12] <livingdaylight> coz_, that would be the reason for me to go 32 as well, to avoid that. Plus i'd have to download a 64 version, as my cd from canonical is 32 :)
[12:12] <Lafiir> Why can't my Pidgin IRC client no longer resolve irc.ubuntu.com? It was working yesterday and I don't think, I changed anything to break it.
[12:13] <coz_> livingdaylight,   there is always the mini iso which is only about 19 megs,, its a net install... if you dont want to wait long for download,, however , it is not a live cd ,,
[12:13] <MichealH> Hello. I just re-installed Ubuntu today and it drops into initramfs saying it cant find /dev/find-drive-by-uid/UID or something
[12:13] <chachu> hi guys...after a fresh windows install...how do I get grub to detect my old ubuntu install? :|
[12:13] <MichealH> Can someone help me with that issue?
[12:13] <iceroot> Lafiir: it cant be pinged
[12:14] <coz_> MichealH,   first thing I would check is if the original iso image is not corrupted,, check the md5sums on it
[12:14] <coz_> MichealH,     https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes
[12:14] <livingdaylight> coz_, I'd still hav e to dl and burn it. My pc doesn't support usb installs (for whatever reason)
[12:14] <Lafiir> iceroot: Ok. so it's not broken on my part. Thanks
[12:15] <coz_> livingdaylight,  ok then go with the 32 bit :)
[12:15] <chachu> anyone can help? :/
[12:16] <coz_> chachu,  I still am not up on all of grub2  yet,,, you may want to go to the #grub channel if no one else picks up on this at this time
[12:16] <MichealH> coz_ Okay
[12:16] <coz_> MichealH,  you know how to check for the md5sum...yes?
[12:17] <luisgrin> hi i got : apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using <IP_ADDRESS> for ServerName (13)Permission denied: make_sock: could not bind to address <IP_ADDRESS>:80 no listening sockets available, shutting down Unable to open logs
[12:17] <chachu> coz_: btw ubuntu 10,04 has grub/grub2? :S
[12:17] <MichealH> coz_, Well, the CD installed many times before
[12:17] <luisgrin> when i tryed to start apache2
[12:17] <javier__> theadmin: thanks, I'm working in wicd and much better
[12:17] <coz_> MichealH,  ah ok
[12:17] <coz_> chachu,  grub 2
[12:17] <MichealH> coz_, I will check it for defects
[12:17] <luisgrin> but apache2 is still working and apache stop was ok
[12:17] <coz_> MichealH,  cool
[12:18] <javier__> theadmin: I will try now not to start networkmanager when starting session, and also connecting the indicator to wicd
[12:18] <alex--> Hello, is it possible to let VNC use only the keybord?d
[12:18] <MichealH> coz_, I have had the CD for months (Its 10.10 - my GPU does not not like Unity)
[12:18] <coz_> MichealH,  ah ,, I understand
[12:18] <alex--> Is it possible to let the VNC client only use the keyboard to control the server, but not to share the screen?
[12:18] <niez> why I can't install swftools in natty?
[12:18] <coz_> MichealH,  but you know you can switch from Unity to classic gnome with 11.04 ,, yes?
[12:19] <harpal> I want to add my own category called SSProject in Gnome menu. and desktop files for SSProject category, then it will show in SSProject Submenu.
[12:19] <Pici> niez: Because the last release it shipped with was Lucid.
[12:19] <Random832> alex--: move the vnc client window off to one side?
[12:19] <coz_> niez,   I dont see swftools in the repository
[12:20] <harpal> Can any one help me, I tried creating .menu file under /etc/xdg/menus/application-merged folder
[12:20] <Random832> oh, you mean don't give access to the screen at all - what's the point in that, what stops someone from using the keyboard to start a script that takes a screenshot and sends it to them?
[12:20] <Random832> alex--: are you looking for something like synergy?
[12:20] <alex--> Random832: i want to control some application that has a high refresh rate, but when I share the screen my network connection can't handle it, so I only want to use the keyboard, because I can see the screen of the pc i'm controlling
[12:20] <MichealH> coz_, Yeah, If my GPU will let me log out :3
[12:20] <niez> Pici, can I somehow install this package?
[12:20] <coz_> MichealH,  ah   ok
[12:20] <MichealH> The screen flashes like mental
[12:20] <Random832> alex--: look at synergy
[12:21] <niez> Pici, in natty?
[12:21] <MichealH> The GPU likes COmpiz, but not Unity
[12:21] <MichealH> :/
[12:21] <Pici> niez: You could compile it from source, or find a PPA.
[12:21] <coz_> MichealH,    ctrl+alt+F1   ,, log in   then sudo restart gdm    then change the session to classic  or   classic ( no effects)
[12:21] <azeb> how can i install skype in ubuntu?
[12:21] <alex--> Random832: thx
[12:21] <alex--> azeb: software center > skype
[12:21] <MichealH> coz_, That just starts Unity again
[12:21] <alex--> azeb: if you are using an older version, go to skype.com and download it
[12:21] <MichealH> coz_, I dunno why
[12:22] <coz_> MichealH,  no no.. once gdm restarts you will have the login screen,, put in  your password,, and before hitting "Enter"  at the bottom of the screen is the session pull down menu,, choose classic
[12:22] <MichealH> Ubuntu does not install my drivers straight away, They really should
[12:22] <azeb> am using ubuntu 11.04
[12:22] <coz_> MichealH,   nvidia?
[12:23] <random123> Is there any better alternative to developing something that captures web cam and microphone and displays video than Flash?
[12:24] <javier__> someone knows how to have a Wicd indicator in Unity?
[12:24] <coz_> random123,  what you using this combination for?
[12:24] <MichealH> coz_, Yeah :/
[12:25] <Layke> is there a way to reduce the mouse wheel scroll sensitivity. It scrolls too many lines.
[12:25] <Layke> I can't find it in System > Preferences > Mouse
[12:25] <random123> coz_, It is for developing something like Chat Roulette
[12:25] <coz_> MichealH,  well,, nvidia is not open source it is proprietary,, however you know you can install that afterwards ...yes?
[12:25] <MichealH> coz_, Also, I know the Login Screen - I have used Ubuntu for a few years :p
[12:25] <coz_> random123,  ah,,, well,,  v4l and applications that use that would or should work
[12:26] <MichealH> coz_, I know how to, I have done so for years :p
[12:26] <_eddie_> hello
[12:26] <raman> hi
[12:26] <codemagician> Does anyone have a ASUS EN210 Silent Graphics card with Ubuntu??
[12:26] <Acidpunk> random123: at this point your best bet is flash
[12:26] <coz_> MichealH,  ah ok,,
[12:27] <codemagician> I cannot get the ASUS EN210 Silent graphics card to work correctly with either Nouvea or Nvidia drivers... constant problems
[12:27] <random123> Acidpunk: Doing development for Flash isn't as good for Linux I have heard, so I should probably not use it?
[12:27] <javier__> i have got "wicd network manager tray" in start applications, but there is not such a tray in Unity
[12:27] <iceroot> random123: using or supporting flash is not good
[12:27] <coz_> codemagician,  in terminal    lspci | grep -i vga
[12:27] <Acidpunk> random123: Your obviously developing a two way plug in through a browser when you described " chat roulette like "
[12:27] <raman> i m unable to download simple text files from this site, pls tell if it works for you http://packetstormsecurity.org/
[12:28] <codemagician> coz_, 04:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT218 [GeForce 210] (rev a2)
[12:28] <Acidpunk> random123: at this point Flash is your best bet, and Flash works fine under Linux for the most part
[12:28] <iceroot> raman: working
[12:28] <coz_> codemagician,  mm  and when you installed the nvidia driver  via  jockey-gtk,, and rebooted ,, it didnt work at all?
[12:28] <raman> it redirects me to page not found
[12:29] <_eddie_> Since a few days ago I have problems with xdg-open. Now I don't know what was opening my files earlier from other applications but I now only folder will open. Few days ago chrome asked me about torrent files do I want xdg-open to open them and I said yes and now every time I try to open a torrent file from chrome I get the error message telling me that it is not a directory. Can anyone help me with this, please?
[12:29] <coz_> raman,  it is not redirecting me here,, it simply opens the text file in firefox
[12:29] <jrib> _eddie_: what happens when you use xdg-open directly yourself?
[12:29] <codemagician> coz_, the desktop constantly hangs and draws specles all the time.  the nouvea drivers are better and don't crash but they leave patches unreplaced when moving windows around
[12:29] <elsjaako> I am installing/updating some things with synaptic, but it won't finish. It's stuck on update-initramfs
[12:30] <jrib> elsjaako: that usually takes a bit
[12:30] <elsjaako> jrib: like 15 minutes?
[12:30] <jrib> elsjaako: not usually that long, no
[12:30] <coz_> codemagician,  ok this is a new one for me,,,,, also ask in #nvidia,, see if they have any clue why this particular card is an issue with current nvidia drivers
[12:31] <codemagician> coz_, ok thanks.. can I ask what that line tells us?
[12:31] <codemagician> coz_, this one 04:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT218 [GeForce 210] (rev a2)
[12:31] <_eddie_> jrib, xdg-open *.torrent results in error message: Cound not display "path/to/file.torrent". The location is not a folder.
[12:31] <coz_> codemagician,  that tells the actual card version numbers
[12:31] <codemagician> coz_, ok cool
[12:31] <coz_> codemagician,   so it is a GT218 nvidia card
[12:31] <jrib> _eddie_: how about with a text file?
[12:32] <codemagician> coz_, even though the box says ASUS EN210 Silent
[12:32] <DrArcheh> hi, i'm running into the inode limit for my filesystem (1000000), i figure it is mostly because of image cache files of software i use, but is there a good way to look for directories with a large amount of files?
[12:32] <elsjaako> also, in top it's displated as having used 0 CPU time, using 0 CPU and 0 Ram
[12:32] <codemagician> coz_, is that the chipset
[12:32] <DrArcheh> find/du don't really seem to do it
[12:32] <coz_> codemagician,  i would go with the readout of t he  command , however , let them know that in #nvidia
[12:32] <_eddie_> jrib, the same
[12:32] <jrib> elsjaako: check bugs.ubuntu.com .  Do you get *any* output?
[12:33] <jrib> _eddie_: can you paste the command and output?  Please pass a single text file
[12:33] <elsjaako> jrib: I get some Warnings in the terminal I opened synaptic with:  TerminalTimeout in step: Running post-installation trigger initramfs-tools
[12:33] <lacrymology> if I open synaptic package manager and search for "vi" (I'm looking for virtualbox) it crashes
[12:34] <jrib> elsjaako: pastebin full input and output please
[12:34]  * stilia-johny hi.. How can I use a host shared folder in vbox ubuntu
[12:34] <jrib> stilia-johny: try #vbox or read vbox docs
[12:34] <_eddie_> jrib, this was the command: "xdg-open Documents/notes.txt" and the response was a dialog box with an error message. What do you want me to paste you?
[12:34] <stilia-johny> Im trying but none alive !!
[12:34] <jrib> _eddie_: the error
[12:35] <jrib> _eddie_: interesting that it is a dialog box
[12:36] <_eddie_> jrib, yes, it's a dialog box that says 'Could not display "~/Documents/notes.txt". The location is not a folder' and I have OK button.

[12:38] <_eddie_> jrib, http://pastebin.com/JakcEJVh
[12:38] <jrib> _eddie_: remove exo-utils (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xdg-utils/+bug/743859)
[12:39] <elsjaako> jrib: so I should kill the current process?
[12:39] <jrib> elsjaako: if you found no relevant bugs, sure
[12:40] <lacrymology> synaptic is segfaulting.. does anyone know about this?
[12:40] <DrArcheh> can anyone think of a way to find out what directory is using up all of my inodes?
[12:41] <_eddie_> jrib, thank you, so does this mean I cannot install xfce and gnome or unity at the same time?
[12:41] <jrib> _eddie_: no it means there's a bug that's fixed in oneiric
[12:41] <squig> ls
[12:41] <squig> aah wrong shell :)
[12:41] <_eddie_> jrib, ok :) thanks
[12:42] <coz_> lacrymology,  not sure,, you could try try this    mv /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin   and  mv /var/cache/apt/srcpkgcache.bin    then restart  synaptic
[12:42] <squig> so im trying to get a raid array I just attached to a server to appear
[12:42] <squig> (with out rebooting)
[12:42] <lacrymology> coz_: what will that do? remove my custom packages?
[12:42] <squig> what makes ubuntu populate the disk devices?
[12:43] <moes> Ubuntu 10.04 metacity..When I right click on desktop the menu does not appear...How to correct ???
[12:44] <allu2> moes: try running nautilus
[12:45] <allu2> since as far as i know nautilus handles desktop on 10.04
[12:45] <alpha> I have a laptop with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470. The problem is that the drivers do not work (I am not the only one with these issues) so I have none installet. But sensors tells me that my radeon-pci-0100 has a temperature of 84.5C. How do I fix this?
[12:46] <moes> allu2, When I run nautilus it open file browser
[12:46] <allu2> moes: does the desktop work now?
[12:46] <moes> allu2, No it still does not open menu
[12:46] <allu2> moes: you could also try something like "killall -9 nautilus && nautilus"
[12:48] <elsjaako> jrib: sorry for the delay, I was looking for a bug (didn't find one). http://pastebin.com/NXWcf0mr
[12:50] <moes> allu2, It opened the file browser panel... still no menu on right click
[12:51] <allu2> moes: so you seek for the menu with options to make folders and change desktop backgrond image right?
[12:51] <moes> allu2, correct
[12:52] <jrib> elsjaako: maybe try running update-initramfs yourself, look for output (be sure to add -v)
[12:53] <jayesh_> I am not able to install any air application (self signed or not) in my 11.04.It gives Error #1. Any help?
[12:54] <jrib> elsjaako: what ubuntu version by the way?
[12:54] <Thrawn> multitouch support for touchpads in ubuntu?
[12:54] <allu2> moes: http://askubuntu.com/questions/16290/right-clicking-does-not-work-in-desktop by google, i guess you can do the same if you explore gconf-editor but i'm not on 10.04 so dunno about that
[12:56] <elsjaako> jrib: lsb_realease gives me 10.10
[12:56] <Thrawn> i want to be able to go to next/previous page in firefox using two finger horizontal flick
[12:56] <Omega> Thrawn: yes, there is multitouch support
[12:56] <Omega> !utouch | Thrawn
[12:57] <Omega> Thrawn: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Multitouch
[12:57] <Thrawn> thanks Omega!
[12:57] <Thrawn> btw you got experience with it?
[12:57] <Thrawn> (have you used uTouch yourself)
[12:58] <Omega> Nope
[12:58] <moes> allu2, Gconf-editor and checked show desktop..that solved the problem..Thanks for the help !!!!
[12:59] <allu2> moes: no problem :)
[12:59] <elsjaako> jrib: I had to figure out the exact command, I think I got it: http://pastebin.com/NtwR5aNA
[12:59] <jrib> elsjaako: and it stops there?
[13:00] <elsjaako> jrib: it seems to. I haven't let this one wait for 15 minutes yet :P
[13:00] <jrib> elsjaako: do multiple -v give more information (I'm not sure)
[13:02] <elsjaako> jrib: no extra info
[13:02] <ChessTeach> anyone use compiz in here, I am told that it can dynamically set the transparency of windows, is that correct? If so how do I do this?
[13:05] <tightwork> so is --reinstall install deprecated?
[13:05] <jrib> elsjaako: is it only with this kernel?
[13:06] <flecha> Hello! I am developing a App Indicator for Unity. How do I add things to the dropdown menu that are not Gtk.MenuItens?
[13:06] <jrib> tightwork: why?  man page in 11.04 seems ok with it
[13:07] <tightwork> jrib: nvm, pebcak
[13:07] <tightwork> kac
[13:07] <tightwork> fok
[13:07] <elsjaako> jrib: I've never had it before, if that's what you mean
[13:07] <tightwork> kinda sorta
[13:07] <tightwork> arg
[13:07] <jrib> elsjaako: if you remove that kernel package does everything work ok?
[13:08] <tightwork> RAOR
[13:09] <ChessTeach> nm figured it out
[13:10] <RussW> I cannot seem to understand the installation process for Java (JVM) under 11.4  (New to ubuntu)
[13:10] <iceroot> RussW: why? what is the problem?
[13:10] <jrib> !java | RussW
[13:10] <bazhang> RussW, enable partner repo
[13:10] <iceroot> RussW: you generally dont know how to install? or special java-problems?
[13:10] <bazhang> !partner| RussW
[13:11] <salamcik> i didnt know that one could move windows in ubuntu with 3 fingers on the trackpad
[13:11] <salamcik> AWESOME!
[13:11] <salamcik> ^_^
[13:12] <Kartagis> salamcik: güzel
[13:12] <kaushal> Hi
[13:12] <elsjaako> jrib: I'm not sure how to do that without risking destroying my system
[13:12] <RussW> I pull down the package ok and the ubuntu software manager takes and installs it...I restart FF and it STILL says that there is no JVM
[13:12] <jrib> elsjaako: just remove that linux-image-PROBLEMVERSION package and make sure you keep an earlier one installed (it should be)
[13:16] <elsjaako> jrib: it then requires me to remove linux-generic and linux-image-generic
[13:16] <jrib> elsjaako: that's fine, those are just meta packages to make sure you fetch the latest kernel.  You can put them back once we see if the issue goes away or not
[13:17] <tightwork> why is django all over the place? /usr/share/pyshared/   why is it not in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages as intended? Im getting import error on django.
[13:17] <cjs> Where's a good channel to ask about what new CPU/Mobo to buy for a server?
[13:17] <jrib> tightwork: how did you install django?
[13:17] <bazhang> ##hardware cjs
[13:17] <cjs> Thanks!
[13:18] <tightwork> jrib:  apt-get  install python-django
[13:18] <jrib> tightwork: apt would never enter /usr/local/.  Do you have some custom python install maybe?
[13:19] <tightwork> nope, jrib no, just apt-get install python..which says is already newest version 2.7
[13:19] <jrib> tightwork: what do you have in /usr/local/?
[13:20] <tightwork> bin  etc  games  include  lib  man  sbin  share  sr
[13:20] <tightwork> bin  etc  games  include  lib  man  sbin  share  src
[13:20] <jrib> tightwork: what's in bin and lib?
[13:22] <tightwork> jrib:  http://dpaste.com/592012/
[13:22] <jrib> tightwork: well these are not from apt and are the the likely cause of your current woes
[13:22] <tightwork> :-|
[13:23] <tightwork> ok ty

[13:26] <Dnerd> can anyone here help with my issues installing ubuntu on OSX?
[13:26] <bazhang> Dnerd, pardon?
[13:26] <Dnerd> i think what i said was pretty straightforward
[13:26] <bazhang> Dnerd, in a VM?
[13:26] <iceroot> Dnerd: you cant install ubuntu on osx
[13:26] <Dnerd> yes
[13:27] <jrib> elsjaako: hmm, I don't really know where to go from here
[13:27] <alex--> Where on ubuntu is my iphone?
[13:27] <Dnerd> iceroot: as in ALONGSIDE osx
[13:27] <alex--> Where on ubuntu is my iphone? i can't find it in /mnt/ or /media/
[13:27] <iceroot> !iphone | alex--
[13:27] <iceroot> Dnerd: what is exactly the problem?
[13:27] <alex--> iceroot: i dont want to add tracks to it
[13:27] <codemagician> how do I get ubuntu to boot to the grub menu please?
[13:28] <Dnerd> i found this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1350234
[13:28] <bazhang> codemagician, hold shift at boot
[13:28] <alex--> iceroot: i want to view pictures on it
[13:28] <iceroot> codemagician: press shift at boot to see the menu
[13:28] <Dnerd> which looks pretty reliable
[13:28] <codemagician> bazhang, cool thanks
[13:28] <Dnerd> i follow the instuctions to "whilst holding the C key"
[13:28] <alex--> Where on ubuntu is my iphone? i can't find it in /mnt/ or /media/       And NO: i dont want to add tracks to it, just view pictures on it

[13:29] <codemagician> bazhang, it said "GRUB loading" but then normal startup?
[13:30] <alex--> bazhang: yes, they are about placing tracks on it. the iphone icon is on my desktop, but i dont know where is it in my home folder
[13:30] <psypher246> hello all, does anyone know how to get invites to work on MSN with empathy, i have not been able to add new people for ages
[13:31] <jrib> elsjaako: maybe only thing I can suggest that may shed some light (while you wait for someone else to pipe in that knows a bit more about the update-initramfs process) is to build your own kernel

[13:39] <Halabund> llutz: do I need to do an update-grub after that change?
[13:39] <JakeR003> thanks guys.. i really appericate your help
[13:39] <llutz> Halabund: yes
[13:39] <EgyParadox> JakeR003: np
[13:40] <ichbinder> hello. In my Ubuntu environment, using bash in a screen session, the commands used inside that session are not written to my ~/.bash_history. The end of the file looks like this instead: http://paste.ubuntu.com/663414/ .  I would like to have the commands used in the screen session in there, though. I thought I've seen that differently in other distros, that's why I'm asking here.
[13:40] <ActionParsnip> JakeR003: sudo service name stop     you can tab complete the service name
[13:41] <ActionParsnip> ichbinder: i believe it will be written once you end the session. I've seen the same
[13:42] <escott> ichbinder, probably need to play with your .inputrc as only the last bash session writes its contents
[13:42] <EgyParadox> service <service name stop> my mistake
[13:42] <EgyParadox> service <service name> stop my mistake
[13:42] <niez> how to install php 5.2 in natty?
[13:43] <EgyParadox> service <service name> stop*
[13:43] <escott> ichbinder, you want shopt -s histappend and export PROMPT_COMMAND='history -a' in .bashrc. i also use cmdhist, cdspell histverify
[13:43] <EgyParadox> service <service name> stop
[13:43] <tiemonster> Denyhosts keeps blocking my IP. If I add it to /etc/hosts.allow will it whitelist it forever?
[13:43] <ichbinder> ActionParsnip: hm, nope. I each of those opened session represents one day of work inside that session. Opened in the morning, closed in the evening...
[13:44] <llutz> tiemonster: denyhosts has an own whitelist /var/lib/something
[13:44] <ActionParsnip> ichbinder: hmm, not sure then
[13:44] <ichbinder> escott: ah, ok... i'll give that a try. "cmdhist" and "cdspell histverify" do what?
[13:44] <Halabund> another question: how do I have the windows partitions mounted by default on startup?
[13:45] <unop> ichbinder, the history file is only updated when you end the session by default ... and unless you have the histappend option set .. every session truncates the file
[13:45] <llutz> tiemonster: /var/lib/denyhosts/allowed-hosts  it is
[13:45] <tiemonster> llutz: thanks!
[13:45] <ActionParsnip> niez: http://www.nickveenhof.be/blog/reverting-or-downgrade-php-53-52-ubuntu-lucid-lynx-1004    it's for lucid, the same style method my apply
[13:45] <llutz> Halabund: add them to /etc/fstab
[13:45] <ActionParsnip> niez: i don't recommend it personally
[13:45] <ichbinder> ActionParsnip: hm, you are right in general. It just isn't configured correctly, see unop's and escott's answeres. :)
[13:45] <MichealH> Ubuntu gives up waiting for the root device, apparently /dev/disk/by-uuid/UID does not exist
[13:45] <tiemonster> llutz: do I add *just* the IP, or does it use the same format as the hosts.* files?
[13:46] <MichealH> Its done this 20 times already
[13:46] <MichealH> I am serious
[13:46] <alex--> Where on ubuntu is my iphone? i can't find it in /mnt/ or /media/       And NO: i dont want to add tracks to it, just view pictures on it
[13:46] <llutz> tiemonster: i'm not sure, but i _guess_ its only the IP
[13:46] <ichbinder> unop: what do you mean with end the session by default? Sorry, non-native speakr
[13:46] <MichealH> Ubuntu just drops into a initramfs shell
[13:47] <tiemonster> llutz: hehe. ok.
[13:47] <ActionParsnip> !info ifuse
[13:47] <llutz> tiemonster: http://denyhosts.sourceforge.net/faq.html#allowed
[13:47] <ActionParsnip> alex--: install ifuse
[13:47] <alex--> ActionParsnip: and then?
[13:47] <tiemonster> llutz: yeah - *just* found that.
[13:47] <MichealH> Can someone please help me?
[13:47] <escott> ichbinder, cmdhist puts multiline commands in a single historty line. cdspell fixes spelling errors in cd, and histverify suppresses invalid commands from the history
[13:47] <ActionParsnip> alex--: and then attach the device and it will act as a regular USB drive
[13:47] <ichbinder> unop: I normally only open a single session and end it after a few hours with CRTL+A CTRL+\. Next day, I open a new session and history is still the same as when I opened the session before... so not updated.
[13:47] <unop> ichbinder,  the $HISTFILE is only written to when you close the bash shell
[13:48] <ichbinder> escott: oh, cool. Sounds all interesting.
[13:48] <elb0w> where can I find mirrors with dvds?
[13:48] <unop> ichbinder, do you have $HISTFILE set?
[13:48] <elb0w> I cant seem to find any
[13:48] <elb0w> cd only
[13:48] <ichbinder> unop: in .bashrc you mean?
[13:48] <escott> ichbinder, lots of great stuff in shopt well worth reading through the list of features
[13:48] <unop> ichbinder, well, yea, perhaps.
[13:48] <ActionParsnip> elb0w: for which release, I'll get you a link
[13:48] <unop> ichbinder, where the variable gets set doesn't really matter.
[13:48] <elsjaako> jrib: in case your interested: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1611122&page=2 worked
[13:49] <ichbinder> unop: yeah, sure... my mistake. It's set, yeah. To ~/.bash_history
[13:49] <elb0w> 11.04 need something in US the default one is slow
[13:49] <elb0w> says 1day
[13:49] <ichbinder> escott: i'll check it out. Thanks!
[13:49] <ActionParsnip> elb0w: what arch?
[13:49] <edbian> elb0w: Where did they move the gui that lets you choose your server mirror?  It could pick a fast one for you.
[13:49] <elb0w> 32bit
[13:50] <Kingsy> I have just installed chromium-browser but it doesnt appear in Application->Internet.. how come? where can I find it?
[13:50] <elb0w> desktop
[13:50] <Kingsy> oh it just refreshed.. nm
[13:51] <ActionParsnip> elb0w: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/11.04/release/ubuntu-11.04-dvd-i386.iso.torrent
[13:52] <ActionParsnip> elb0w: torrents will be faster, can be paused, stress the servers less and have extra error tests
[13:52] <alex--> ActionParsnip: i installed it
[13:52] <Iszak> If I install ubuntu via wubi on a SSD it shouldn't have any negative impact, right?
[13:52] <ActionParsnip> alex--: you now know more than me. I don't use apple rubbish
[13:52] <alex--> me neither ActionParsnip
[13:52] <Iszak> me three
[13:52] <spacebug-> should I not be able to make a bootable CD from iso with:   dd bs=10M if=ubuntu.iso of=/dev/sdd1    (where sdd is my usb stick) ?
[13:52] <edbian> Iszak: Except that you'll have a wubi install :P
[13:53] <edbian> spacebug-: That works except for the bootloader I think
[13:53] <ActionParsnip> spacebug-: use unetbootin
[13:53] <escott> Iszak, impact on what? the general opinion on wubi here is that it is better to use a vm or install directly to disk
[13:53] <Iszak> edbian, I mean will it detect I've got a SSD and optimize for that?
[13:53] <ActionParsnip> spacebug-: some distros that will work, not ubuntu
[13:53] <elb0w> ActionParsnip: we dont have that many ports open
[13:53] <elb0w> behind a firewall
[13:54] <ActionParsnip> elb0w: 2 secs
[13:54] <escott> Iszak, except you are running the whole os through an ntfs layer so your performance will still suck
[13:54] <Iszak> escott, ha, better to use a VM? please sure if I want things to run even slower.
[13:54] <elb0w> ActionParsnip: thanks appreciate it
[13:54] <spacebug-> ActionParsnip: oh I see, so it is not a normal way of doing it since the bootloader might not be placed correct on the stick?
[13:54] <ActionParsnip> elb0w: shame, oh well. http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/11.04/release/ubuntu-11.04-dvd-i386.iso
[13:54] <Iszak> escott, wubi performance has always been unnoticable for me.
[13:54] <edbian> Iszak: I'm not sure
[13:54] <ActionParsnip> elb0w: remember to MD5 test
[13:54] <ActionParsnip> spacebug-: not in ubuntu
[13:54] <elb0w> ok thanks
[13:55] <spacebug-> ok
[13:55] <edbian> Iszak: I don't think you'll notice bad performance either.  But I still suggest a regular install.  However in either case I'm unsure of the SSD problem.
[13:55] <unop> ichbinder, maybe you need to have a ~/.bash_logout file with this in it ..  history -a
[13:55] <Iszak> lets not get into a debate as to use wubi or not, I'm going to use it regardless.
[13:56] <MichealH> Nevermind about my question, My LoCo has give me a solution (possibly)
[13:56] <psypher246> hello all, does anyone know how to get invites to work on MSN with empathy, i have not been able to add new people for ages
[13:57] <Iszak> psypher246, try pidgin perhaps, never liked empathy, but not really a solution.
[13:57] <edbian> Iszak: fair enough :)
[13:57] <psypher246> Iszak: yeah will try out
[13:57] <JakeR003> guys.. can i use windows .ico file on ubuntu? icon file
[13:57] <psypher246> Iszak: but still empathy is annnoying and must eb fixed someday
[13:57] <dsnyders> Hi all!  Is there a quick way of getting a count of how many files are in a subdirectory tree?
[13:57] <psypher246> or dropped
[13:57] <psypher246> dsnyders: ls |  wc -l
[13:58] <psypher246> i think
[13:58] <Pici> dsnyders: find /path/ -type f | wc -l
[13:58] <Iszak> psypher246, you could try adding the empathy ppa, the thing with MSN is the API isn't open source, so they have to review engineer it as far as I know.
[13:58] <ichbinder> unop: i'll give escott's solution a try and if that doesn't work, I'll try your way. Definitely, thanks for the help and the explanations!
[13:58] <dsnyders> psypher246, wouldn't that be just the current directory?
[13:58] <psypher246> Iszak: oh ok so get the latest dev pcksg
[13:58] <tightwork> How does apt set PYTHONPATH? I believe either pip or easyinstall added some uneeded modules crufting out the existing python, now when i run python I get: bash: /usr/local/bin/python: No such file or directory   although which python shows /usr/bin/python -> python2.7 which I can use /usr/bin/python directly no problem.
[13:58] <sattu94> JakeR003: yes.
[13:58] <Iszak> psypher246, you can definitely try that yes.
[13:58] <psypher246> dsnyders: oh you want all sub dirs asd well
[13:59] <jrib> tightwork: run "hash -r"
[13:59] <tightwork> Id like to set it properly rather than making a symlink to /usr/local/bin/python
[13:59] <JakeR003> thanks
[13:59] <psypher246> then pici is correct
[13:59] <edbian> Iszak: Your question about SSD  : http://askubuntu.com/questions/52258/ssd-really-supported-on-ubuntu-11-04
[13:59] <dsnyders> psypher246, Yes, that's why I said tree.
[13:59] <jrib> tightwork: you should not have /usr/local/bin/python
[13:59] <tightwork> jrib: indeed, just as you said before.
[13:59] <tightwork> i moved everything out
[13:59] <psypher246> dsnyders: sorry, misread
[14:00] <tightwork> jrib: yes! hash -r worked! thanks  everything looks back to normal and can import django.. you rock
[14:00] <tightwork> jrib: what happend there btw?
[14:00] <ST544> hi
[14:00] <jrib> tightwork: no problem.  New terminal would have worked too ;)
[14:00] <sattu94> JakeR003: i guess u are better off using .xpm files though, and like windows they wont automatically be associated to the executables.
[14:00] <dsnyders> psypher246, np.  I think Pici's find /path/ -type f | wc -l  idea will work.
[14:00] <tightwork> jrib: i thought it was a term problem, tried source /etc/profile... different stuffs..
[14:00] <jrib> tightwork: when you typed "python" bash remembered python was in /usr/local/bin/python so tried that again
[14:01] <tightwork> my stubbornness prevented me from just opening a new term :-|
[14:01] <tightwork> gtk though
[14:01] <jrib> elsjaako: cool
[14:05] <JakeR003> guys in the upper panel there is a small icon of an email
[14:05] <JakeR003> how to remove it?
[14:05] <JakeR003> when you click on it it says " setup mail "
[14:05] <JakeR003> i takes space
[14:05] <ActionParsnip> JakeR003: you mean the envelope, on the right?
[14:05] <CLN84> Where can I go to get good quality MP3?
[14:05] <JakeR003> yeah envelop
[14:05] <JakeR003> i don't need it there
[14:05] <bazhang> !ot | CLN84
[14:05] <JakeR003> and i hate it to be forced on me
[14:06] <ActionParsnip> JakeR003: there are hundreds of guides how to remove it dude, have you websearched any at all?
[14:06] <JakeR003> ActionParsnip i did and i broek the damn panel
[14:06] <JakeR003> lost the power button. network button
[14:06] <JakeR003> just tell me before i do somtehing worse
[14:06] <krux> lol
[14:06] <ActionParsnip> JakeR003: http://whileitcompiles.com/ubuntu/how-to-remove-envelope-from-indicator-applet/
[14:07] <JakeR003> thanks
[14:07] <suman> hi can cany one give me a syntax to copy a file in specific location using terminal :)
[14:08] <ActionParsnip> suman: cp file /path/to/dest
[14:08] <dsnyders> Pici, The find /path/ -type f | wc -l command worked like a charm.  Just as I suspected, there were zero files in that nest of folders.
[14:08] <ActionParsnip> suman: if you don't have write access, prefix with sudo
[14:08] <suman> thanks
[14:11] <JakeR003> ActionParsnip
[14:11] <JakeR003> your guide is not working with natty - 11.04
[14:11] <JakeR003> again don't give me something that breaks my OS
[14:11] <JakeR003> i will kill you
[14:11] <bazhang> JakeR003, stop that now
[14:11] <JakeR003> joking with you
[14:12] <ActionParsnip> it's just the indicator-messages package you need to remove
[14:12] <ActionParsnip> JakeR003: it's just the indicator-messages package you need to remove
[14:12] <JakeR003> you can't even take a joke
[14:12] <bazhang> !guidelines > JakeR003
[14:13] <ActionParsnip> JakeR003: ANY guide you find will tell you it's that package
[14:13] <JakeR003> ActionParsnip the problem is i don't have the patience to try a dozen guides
[14:13] <JakeR003> there are alot of outdates guides for older releases of ubuntu
[14:13] <ActionParsnip> JakeR003: its the same package, all the way back to Lucid
[14:13] <JakeR003> it didnt work it says command not found
[14:14] <JakeR003> so it's not installed?
[14:14] <JakeR003> this ting aptitude
[14:14] <ActionParsnip> JakeR003: aptitude isn't default now, so you ca simply either install aptitude or switch  the command to use apt-get
[14:14] <JakeR003> ok
[14:14] <JakeR003> sorry for the bad joke.. been working on ubuntu all day yesterday & i hate to break it
[14:15] <ActionParsnip> JakeR003: with a NEW OS you will need patince to learn new stuff and to get used to searching for guides
[14:15] <JakeR003> i don't trsut the search engine ActionParsnip. i trust ppl
[14:15] <mang0> I've got a 123GB internal harddrive, NTFS format...I can't run any applications/games or anything off it. I presume it's permissions? What can I do?
[14:15] <ActionParsnip> JakeR003: all I did was search and pasted the first guide I found mentioning the right package
[14:16] <ActionParsnip> JakeR003: if you can be more autonomous, you will be less of a strain on the community as you will be able to fix your own stuff
[14:16] <auronandace> mang0: linux can't be installed on ntfs
[14:16] <mang0> auronandace: I'm not trying to install linux on ntfs.  We can search for instructions and verify they look mostly correct, but we can't know that everything will work perfectly
[14:16] <_ProGammer> hello
[14:16] <auronandace> mang0: what program?
[14:17] <_ProGammer> where is the icon theme install by default in ubuntu 10.10 ?
[14:17] <mang0> auronandace: Urban terror, thehumblebundle3
[14:17] <ActionParsnip> _ProGammer: humanity
[14:17] <JakeR003> escott i don't want a high blood pressure. i already have a headache
[14:17] <escott> mang0, if it is mounted with "users" that includes "noexec"
[14:17] <_ProGammer> ActionParsnip: which path ?
[14:17] <JakeR003> that's why i ask here
[14:17] <ActionParsnip> mang0: I suggest you add the playdeb ppa and install urbanterror there
[14:18] <ActionParsnip> _ProGammer: not sure, you could use http://packages.ubuntu.com   to check
[14:18] <mang0> escott: How do I make it so I can exec it?
[14:18] <mang0> ActionParsnip: what's the playdeb ppa?
[14:18] <Pici> _ProGammer: /usr/share/icons/
[14:18] <ActionParsnip> mang0: go find out. Lots of games there
[14:18] <_ProGammer> ActionParsnip: i want to change icon for .c .py .pl files
[14:18] <_ProGammer> any other suggestion
[14:19] <escott> mang0, add "exec" to the fstab mount options for that partiton, but its easier and more secure to just install from apt
[14:19] <ActionParsnip> _ProGammer: if you are installing a theme then you can use the archive of the theme and install it using Appearance Preferences
[14:19] <mang0> ActionParsnip, escott: I can run these games, but I want to swap the drive they're on from the ext4 (ubuntu) to the 123GB internal.....
[14:19] <_ProGammer> ActionParsnip: i have the default theme
[14:19] <ActionParsnip> JakeR003: so if you have issues at work, do you rely purely on colleagues?
[14:20] <_ProGammer> i just want to change those icons
[14:20] <ActionParsnip> _ProGammer: thats what the appearance prefs is for
[14:21] <ActionParsnip> mang0: humblebundle3 is a paid for game, I'm not sure how that is installed
[14:21] <mang0> ActionParsnip: If I reformated the 123GB drive from ntfs to ext4 would that work?
[14:21] <mang0> reformatted*
[14:22] <ActionParsnip> mang0: what are you trying to achieve?
[14:22] <mang0> ActionParsnip: ablity to run apps from my 123GB internal.
[14:23] <vuPg4> I am an ambassador for world grape day
[14:23] <bazhang> vuPg4, wrong channel
[14:23] <ldr> _ProGammer you can just overwrite the icons in /usr/share/icons/<icontheme>/mimetypes/
[14:23] <vuPg4> SORRY!!!  lol
[14:24] <ldr> _ProGammer their should be for exmaple some file gnome-mime-text-x-python.png and so on for the files
[14:24] <_ProGammer> ldr: there is too many  numbered folders
[14:25] <ldr> _ProGammer the numbers are the sizes best you overwrite the icons in all of them otherwise you have to figure out which size is used on your desktop and overwrite that
[14:26] <ldr> _ProGammer just make a backup from the iconset you are using and play around a bit whats the worst thing that can happen
[14:27] <_ProGammer> thanks ldr
[14:27] <_ProGammer> and ActionParsnip
[14:27] <JakeR003> how to copy an icon from a flash disk to user / share / icon  folder ?
[14:27] <_ProGammer> thanks all
[14:27] <JakeR003> becuase it says access permission denied
[14:27] <escott> JakeR003, sudo
[14:28] <ActionParsnip> JakeR003: use:  sudo cp thing /usr/share/icons
[14:28] <genii-around> Isn't there also /home/username/.icons for such things?
[14:31] <ActionParsnip> JakeR003: again, websearching would show you that BASIC thing....
[14:32] <ActionParsnip> !manual | JakeR003
[14:33] <_ProGammer> ldr: all the files are .svg
[14:33] <_ProGammer> can i replace them with ico or png ?
[14:34] <escott> _ProGammer, png is supported don't know about ico
[14:34] <_ProGammer> thanks
[14:34] <theadmin> escott, _ProGammer: ico is a Microsoft format. Not supported by most Linux programs.
[14:35] <ActionParsnip> _ProGammer: sure, you can use a different png, or use imagemagick to convert to png
[14:35] <_ProGammer> :-* thanks
[14:38] <theadmin> Hamsters
[14:39] <mang0> If I format a NTFS drive to EXT4 will I be able to run games off it?
[14:39] <iceroot> mang0: why not?
[14:39] <theadmin> mang0: Windows won't recognize it.
[14:39] <theadmin> mang0: Other than that, it's fine.
[14:39] <mang0> iceroot: atm it's ntfs, and I can't run anything on/off it
[14:40] <mang0> theadmin: I don't have windows.
[14:40] <theadmin> mang0: NTFS does not handle UNIX-like permissions, so you can't really set the executable flag (thus run anything) on files on it
[14:40] <llutz> mang0: mounting ntfs with "uid=<you>,exec"  should let you run stuff from it (whyever one wants that)
[14:41] <edbian> theadmin: It does actually.  They're implemented in windows 7
[14:41] <mang0> llutz: I just cba to format as ext4, but I'll do it if it means I can run stuff
[14:41] <codemagician> does anyone know which package "/usr/lib/dri/nouveau_dri.so" belongs to?
[14:42] <llutz> voidmage: dpkg -S /usr/lib/dri/nouveau_dri.so
[14:42] <theadmin> edbian: Hm, but... "The term 'chmod' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again."
[14:42] <theadmin> edbian: So how do you handle them then?
[14:43] <llutz> codemagician:  dpkg -S /usr/lib/dri/nouveau_dri.so
[14:43] <codemagician> llutz, no match
[14:43] <edbian> theadmin: Do you mean chmod is missing in windows 7?  The only way I know is through the gui (right clicking each file).  Apparently NTFS has had permissions since xp in 2001 but xp / vista did not implement any way to use them.
[14:43] <theadmin> codemagician: If it's not installed yet?
[14:43] <codemagician> llutz, its not installed
[14:43] <theadmin> edbian: They did, but it's different
[14:43] <llutz> !find nouveau_dri.so
[14:44] <llutz> codemagician: ^^^
[14:44] <codemagician> theadmin, yes, Im tring to get the 3d nouveau stuff working for my graphics card
[14:44] <theadmin> edbian: You have to unmark "Enable simple file sharing" in Folder Properties or whatnot :D
[14:44] <codemagician> dpkg-query: no path found matching pattern /usr/lib/dri/nouveau_dri.so.
[14:44] <theadmin> edbian: Also, those permissions are... different
[14:44] <edbian> theadmin: That is for samba sharing.  File permissions are different aren't they?
[14:44] <llutz> codemagician:  File nouveau_dri.so found in libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental, libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental-dbg
[14:46] <theadmin> edbian: PMed you a link proving otherwise :D
[14:48] <codemagician> llutz, thanks
[14:50] <mang0> How long will it take to format a 123GB hd?
[14:50] <alex--> anyone who can help me out with iphone?
[14:50] <mang0> alex--: this is #ubuntu
[14:50] <alex--> I want to view the music on it and the pictures
[14:50] <mang0> try #apple
[14:50] <alex--> but where is it mounted
[14:50] <mang0> or #iphone
[14:50] <mang0> idk
[14:50] <alex-->  /mnt/ is empty
[14:50] <mang0> :/
[14:50] <alex--> mang0: #apple and #iphone can't help me out with ubuntu
[14:50] <Guest85044> I seem to have misplaced my home directory
[14:51] <Guest85044> I forgot my password and chnaged it
[14:51] <mang0> alex--: I thought you were talking about a purely iphone problem :P sorry
[14:51] <mgj> alex--, maybe /media ?
[14:51] <escott> alex--, check the output of `mount` and check in the /media directory
[14:51] <Pici> alex--: see what dmesg says after you plug in the usb cable.
[14:51] <alex--> mnt and media are empty
[14:51] <tightwork> alex--: you might have to install libimobiledevice2  .. google it
[14:51] <escott> Guest85044, what does this have to do with misplacing your home directory
[14:52] <Guest85044> with another admin account and now have only Access-Your-Private-Data.desktop in my home directory
[14:52] <tightwork> i think it interfaces with ifuse
[14:52] <Guest85044> I assume it's encrypted and hidden
[14:52] <alex--> tightwork: it cant find the package
[14:52] <Guest85044> is therer anyway to recover it
[14:52] <escott> Guest85044, you need your password to unwrap the key used to encrypt your data. or you need to have backed up the key as instructed when you first used the computer
[14:53] <Guest85044> hmm,  none of my regular passwords appaer to work
[14:53] <tightwork> alex--: I have it.. and I dont have any third party repos
[14:54] <alex--> tightwork: how can I check if i have it too?
[14:54] <tightwork> alex--:  aptitude search mobiledevi
[14:55] <karl___> I have a problem with Update Manager and Package Manager: error msg ends E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
[14:55] <mgj> s/aptitude/apt-cache
[14:55] <mgj> :P
[14:55] <tightwork> alex--:  dont paste in chan, use pastebin thx
[14:55] <mgj> since ubuntu no longer comes with aptituide, i dont think we should promote using it
[14:55] <alex--> tightwork: what are you talking about?
[14:55] <alex--> where am i pasting?
[14:56] <Guest85044> I did back up the key, only it was in my home directory
[14:56] <alex--> tightwork: what are you talking about? where am i pasting?
[14:56] <tightwork> mgj: oh yea? ... didnt know.. im newb
[14:56] <dmsuperman> my Unity bar on the left side has randomly decided to stop working correctly. the graphics are all screwed up (none of the window icons show) but I can still click like normal
[14:56] <BluesKaj> Hey all
[14:57] <rrg_> Hello, I'm new to this chanel, I met "bad LUN" error when i try to install ubuntu, plz help me
[14:57] <alex--> dmsuperman: log out and login again
[14:57] <dmsuperman> I tried restarting unity by using killall, and even unity --reset (which subsequently reset all my compiz settings, very cool), and logged out
[14:57] <codemagician> i have some errors in my Xorg.0.log saying (EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0)
[14:57] <alex--> rrg_: why should we help you more than someone else?
[14:57] <Mendigo> Someone could help me ...  Its just something i noticed when i installed 11.04, aptitiude is no longer installed by default. I trust the ubuntu devs, and assume apt-get is simply better
[14:57] <alex--> bazhang: enough of what?
[14:58] <dmsuperman> alex--: That didn't do it
[14:58] <bazhang> alex--, the nonsense commentary
[14:58] <Pici> rrg_: What sort of device are you trying to install Ubuntu on?
[14:59] <rrg_> i just install ubuntu os over windows using live cd
[14:59] <Bisu[Shield]> I have an issue where a php script run as a normal user cannot create a folder and file inside the /tmp directory. I noticed that the owner for /tmp is root:root, do I need to change that?
[15:00] <Mendigo> Someone could help me ... I can not remove a package. http://pastebin.com/UanZRDsW ( Ubuntu 11.04 Natty )  ??
[15:00] <Pici> rrg_: Have you tried testing your CD for defects?
[15:00] <alex-->  rrg_ device = laptop, desktop, tablet
[15:00] <rrg_> it worked
[15:00] <Bisu[Shield]> or rather who owns /tmp
[15:01] <escott>  Bisu[Shield] the permissions on /tmp should be 777 + t
[15:01] <rrg_> my laptop hp pavilian g6 i5
[15:01] <llutz> Mendigo: sudo apt-get purge oracle-xe-universal:i386               and please use "LANG=C ...command..." next time to show pastes here
[15:02] <Pici> Mendigo: You probably didn't install that package with apt-get. So apt-get doesn't know about it.  Use sudo dpkg -rP oracle
[15:02] <Reaper> So is there a short cut key for copy and paste or is that something I would have to make in the system preferences?
[15:02] <Guest85044> all files lost then
[15:02] <Guest85044> seems a shame
[15:02] <squig> its kinda shocking when you find some thing like scsi disk support to be horribly broken on a platform
[15:02] <Bisu[Shield]> yea but which owner owns /tmp?
[15:02] <llutz> Bisu[Shield]: root:root
[15:02] <dw-> Reaper: Ctrl-C Ctrl-V lol
[15:03] <dw-> Reaper: in a terminal, select, then middle button or right click
[15:03] <Bisu[Shield]> thanks
[15:03] <Reaper> thanx
[15:03] <Bisu[Shield]> let me see why this is not working
[15:03] <nuborn> also, in terminal, Ctrl-Shift C (or V)
[15:03] <llutz> Bisu[Shield]: "sudo chmod 1777 /tmp"
[15:03] <Bisu[Shield]> drwxrwxrwt  [15:03] <llutz> Bisu[Shield]: correct
[15:04] <dw-> nice orn ;)
[15:04] <escott> Bisu[Shield], yes. you do know what +t means right? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sticky_bit
[15:04] <raven> hi
[15:05] <raven> Xorg causes 100% cpu load sometimes and does not come down again. how to find out why and to solve that?
[15:05] <dw-> Ubuntu One isn't going to ever be mandatory, is it
[15:06] <lilleman> My network is really slow (100kb/sec when should be about 10-15MB/sec) and occationally dies completley. WHen I goot the same hardware to windows it goes fast, so it is Ubuntu software. Network card is RTL8168b/8111b, and dmesg shows up TONS of "r8169: eth0: link up"...
[15:06] <Pici> dw-: no
[15:06] <theadmin> dw-: Obviously not
[15:06] <dw-> k
[15:06] <Mendigo> Pici: look please http://pastebin.com/Ng7VKvxc
[15:06] <lilleman> Help very very appreciated :)
[15:06] <mgj> dw-, a few years down the line, when we go back to the whole mainframe/thin-client setup where your PC no longer has a harddrive, it will probably be mandatory :P
[15:06] <Mendigo> Pici: : he says that the package ta it more when I'm not uninstall
[15:07] <mgj> "a few years" = 10+
[15:07] <muzone> I'm using PuTTY and Firefox to use my shell accounts as proxy servers so I can surf the web anonymously: http://home.no/mritz/screenshots - but how come some sites are able to tell my real IP still - and how do I prevent this?
[15:07] <raven> dw-, at present way of ubuntu i am not sure of that.... ubuntu is getting worse and worse
[15:07] <Pici> Mendigo: oracle-xe-universal:i386 is the full package name.
[15:07] <SwordManX> how do you change sshd in ubuntu to allow non-root users to login ?
[15:07] <dw-> lol
[15:07] <escott> SwordManX, shouldn't require a change thats the default
[15:07] <llutz> SwordManX: thats default behaviour, no change needed
[15:07] <SwordManX> hm
[15:07] <SwordManX> doesn't seem like it in my instance
[15:07] <SwordManX> i keep getting a permission denied
[15:08] <SwordManX> and it's not an invalid username/password
[15:08] <TheFuzzball> mgj I will set up my own "cloud" server. I won't rely on anything as fragile as an internet connection for my OS.
[15:08] <llutz> SwordManX: check /etc/hosts.allow[.deny]
[15:08] <Mendigo> Pici: sorry hehe tks man =]
[15:08] <SwordManX> k
[15:08] <ldr> i am using laptop-mode on my computer and turns usb autosuspend on, which is i guess a good thing, but it means that when i am using my usb mouse in battery mode and stop usiing it usb port wil shutdown and i have to replug it, does anyone know if their is a way to turn off this behavior besides deactivating usb autosuspend?
[15:08] <raven> Xorg causes 100% cpu load sometimes and does not come down again. how to find out why and to solve that?
[15:08] <Pici> Mendigo: np
[15:09] <mgj> TheFuzzball, agreed. But i dont think, in the future, that its reasonable for people to host and maintain their own cloud. The time and money required is simply too much. I really do believe, down the line, we will live completely in the cloud, no matter how much that may or may not suck for the users.
[15:10] <negev> hi, does anyone know of a program i can use to download mail from an Exchange mailbox into maildir format, without using pop3 or imap?  I can authenticate to the account using "Exchange" mode on my iphone, and OWA is enabled, but i can't find any tools that will do this.  getmail doesn't seem to support exchange auth.
[15:10] <TheFuzzball> mgj Agreed.
[15:13] <lilleman> My network is really slow (100kb/sec when should be about 10-15MB/sec) and occationally dies completley. WHen I goot the same hardware to windows it goes fast, so it is Ubuntu software. Network card is RTL8168b/8111b, and dmesg shows up TONS of "r8169: eth0: link up"... I have disabled IPv6 also
[15:13] <rabbi1> now, komodo edit 6 is not running on ubuntu 10.04 :'(
[15:14] <Layke> I keep getting an issue where the unity application bar on the right, won ever hide.
[15:14] <Layke> It is always on top of my applications. Itś small, but itś still annoying
[15:19] <Ellipsis753> hey, Just wondering. Is there a good was to convert protected itunes m4ps to flac or mp3 or something nicer?  I'll go look elseware. Wasn't sure if it counted as piracy.
[15:22] <escott> Ellipsis753, technically a felony in the U.S.A. don't know where you are from
[15:23] <Ellipsis753> Even if your just re-recording it or something?
[15:23] <zxww> I'm looking for a program that will monitor my servers and then make graphs of their uptime which I can view from a browser. Anyone know of something like that? Ideally it would be as easy as possible to setup.
[15:23] <escott> Ellipsis753, DMCA. its removal of an anti-circumvention device
[15:24] <llutz> Ellipsis753: even if you re-whistle it. music-mafia has no humour at all
[15:25] <Logos01> [help-needed]: DOSbox audio not working. Ubuntu 11.04 amd64
[15:25] <Pici> zxww: munin, cacti, collectd (to some extent) all have the capability of doing that.  munin might be the easiest to setup of the three.
[15:25] <Logos01> Default configurations, and it worked under 10.10
[15:25] <sre-su> is it possible to crearte persistence in
[15:26] <sre-su> Is it possible to crearte persistence in LiveUSB using UNetbootin?
[15:26] <Logos01> sre-su: I don't believe that to be a feature of UNetbootin.
[15:27] <Logos01> You *could* conceivably make a bootable USB using UNetbootin and then modify it after-the-fact to be persistent.
[15:27] <zxww> thanks pici
[15:27] <sre-su> Logos01:yeah, how to modify it to be persistent?
[15:27] <somsip> sre-su: I believe there is something available that relates to Ubuntu only. It creates a small savable area on he USB. I only saw it on offcahce a couple of days ago when playing with unetbootin and have not tried it myself
[15:28] <Logos01> sre-su: Well, that really depends on what distro you're trying to do it with and how you go about it. Given what I know... what has Google told you so far?
[15:28] <sre-su> somsip: usb-creator allows that feature but I'm facing errors even after checking the iso multiple times
[15:29] <somsip> sre-su: ok - sounds like you're already looking at what I noticed. I don't think I can help more.
[15:29] <sre-su> Logos01: Ubuntu 11.04. LinuxLivve allows to but have not tried
[15:30] <Logos01> sre-su: Hrm. There's a bunch of walk-throughs to do persistence out there on "teh intartubes" -- any luck with them or did you not find one?
[15:30] <sre-su> Logos01: did not find one
[15:30] <Logos01> sre-su: Ahh. 'k. Gimme a sec.
[15:31] <Logos01> It's even on the Ubuntu wiki! :)
[15:31] <Logos01> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent
[15:31] <sre-su> Logos01: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tools_to_create_Live_USB_systems
[15:31] <sre-su> but i
[15:32] <sre-su> 'm not sure which one does persistence really well
[15:32] <sre-su> ok
[15:32] <Reaper> can anyone point me in the right direction for dictionary files?
[15:32] <Logos01> sre-su: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent
[15:33] <Logos01> Reaper: For what program?
[15:33] <Reaper> just wepa cracking
[15:33] <Logos01> @ Anyone: DOSbox audio is a no-go on my personal machine... 11.04 amd64, default configs. Any takers?
[15:33] <rumpe1> Reaper, wrong answer :D
[15:33] <codemagician> does ubuntu support icore GPU for graphics?
[15:33] <Reaper> air crack
[15:34] <Logos01> Reaper: That's... really not an Ubuntu thing.
[15:34] <escott> codemagician, bloomfield in 11.04 sandy in 11.10
[15:34] <Reaper> oh crap
[15:34] <Reaper> wrong channel !
[15:34] <Reaper> one of those days !!
[15:34] <Reaper> lol
[15:34] <theadmin> Reaper: Please, you're just on one channel. No need to pretend xD
[15:34] <codemagician> escott, if i have an i7 core could I just get a motherboard with graphics and will ubuntu 11.04 work out the box?
[15:34] <coinmaster> hello everyone i try to install libevent 2.0 on my ubuntu 10.4, where i can find the source for the apt source.list ?
[15:35] <Reaper> lol
[15:35] <theadmin> Odd question, does Ubuntu come with Mono these days?
[15:36] <ikonia> theadmin: there are mono packages in the repo, not installed by default
[15:36] <theadmin> ikonia: Okay thanks.
[15:36] <theadmin> ikonia: I just thought some part of Gnome needs Mono to run... Tomboy?
[15:36] <alex--> anyone?
[15:36] <alex--> Where is iPhone directory mounted in Ubuntu?
[15:37] <escott> codemagician, if you have a bloomfield i7 are are already good. if you have a sandy i7 you could try the alpha or wait. with discrete graphics the main issues are switching (nvidia optimus is a mess)
[15:37] <coinmaster> i guess its in the oneiric repo does some one have a source for that ?
[15:37] <ikonia> theadmin: it used to, I don't know %100 if it does still ?
[15:37] <theadmin> ikonia: Okay, thanks nonetheless :D
[15:38] <escott> !info mono
[15:38] <ikonia> coinmaster: you don't use 11.10 on your 10.04 box
[15:38] <escott> !info mono-runtime
[15:38] <coinmaster> ikonia: thanks
[15:39] <coinmaster> but where else i can get libevent-2.0.so.5
[15:39] <Logos01> theadmin: theadmin It does.
[15:39] <maiconp> hello,
[15:39] <theadmin> I find it funny how it's "available only for ... all"
[15:39] <theadmin> Logos01: Oh?
[15:39] <ikonia> coinmaster: why do you need it
[15:39] <Logos01> wget http://ftp-stud.hs-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/releases.ubuntu.com/11.04/ubuntu-11.04-desktop-amd64.manifest | grep mono
[15:39] <theadmin> Logos01: mmk, good, thanks.
[15:40] <alex--> Where is iPhone directory mounted in Ubuntu?
[15:40] <maiconp> my ubuntu sometimes no return from hibernation..
[15:40] <maiconp> ubuntu 11.4
[15:40] <theadmin> alex--: iPhone does not work with Linux, k?
[15:40] <Logos01> That command won't work but the manifest file lists the default packages for a distro and you can grep the manifest file for package types. :)
[15:40] <Pici> alex--: I told you that you need to look at what dmesg says when you plug it in.
[15:40] <Logos01> wat ... iPhone v. Ubuntu... lol
[15:40] <maiconp> my machine is a Dell
[15:40] <coinmaster> ikonia: i need that for pushpool and it dnt work with the libevent 1.4
[15:40] <Logos01> alex--: Look in /media or /mnt
[15:41] <Pici> !behelpful | theadmin
