[00:00] <Pete-Umbra> thanks a lot, Ben64, it worked.
[00:00] <haux> Does anyone know how to remove all printer drivers from Ubuntu?
[00:00] <ericus> ActionParsnip: does not help :(
[00:00] <Pete-Umbra> ^_^
[00:00] <ericus> I have a linux gateway
[00:00] <ericus> Tried google's DNS
[00:00] <urlin2u> haux, printer will show you what is installed.
[00:00] <ericus> So finally I called my ISP
[00:00] <ActionParsnip> ericus: try setting the google dns in your system, not you linux gateway
[00:00] <cfhowlett> Steevca: http://lubuntu.net/  && http://xubuntu.org/
[00:00] <ericus> they told me that there is problems in my area
[00:00] <recon_lap> cfhowlett: i tried, the text was all messed up. anyway, i'm v happy with 10.04 lts , I 'll let the young guns bleed all over the new stuff
[00:01] <haux> urlin2u, aren't there preinstalled drivers to support a variety of printers?
[00:01] <ericus> ActionParsnip: I've already done that
[00:01] <cfhowlett> recon_lap: right.  see you in 12.04 then.
[00:01] <ericus> Thanks anyway
[00:01] <urlin2u> haux, only a list to choose from, not the drivers themselves I believe
[00:01] <Steevca> cfhowlett Thanks.
[00:01] <ericus> They told me they'd send me a text when it's fixed
[00:01] <Aethelrick> recon_lap: only way to go for servers
[00:01] <cfhowlett> Steevca: no problem
[00:01] <qo_op> telnetter, good luck :)
[00:02] <recon_lap> cfhowlett: thats 13.04, got another year of relaxing
[00:02] <ActionParsnip> ericus: so why are you in here if no amount of config will help?
[00:02] <Steevca> cfhowlett Can i also try an older version of ubuntu?
[00:02] <ericus> ActionParsnip: some sites works, but SLOW
[00:02] <ericus> and some does not, at all
[00:02] <urlin2u> haux, if you had a printer plugged in on install you might but printer will tell what is installed. Are you trying to clear HD space?
[00:02] <cfhowlett> !eol|steevca
[00:02] <ericus> And as said, it's not a DNS problem
[00:02] <rick__> [nick/*/nick!user@host]  can some one show me example how that should be filled out for chanserv
[00:03] <Mr> Does Wine come with Ubuntu?
[00:03] <cfhowlett> Steevca: stick with Long Term Support releases most recent is 10.04
[00:03] <ericus> I've called my ISP, as I've said
[00:03] <recon_lap> your talking to the guy who did 3 years c++ graphics programming in gedit for fun because i dont like ide's
[00:03] <ActionParsnip> ericus: its not an ubuntu issue though..
[00:03] <Steevca> cfhowlett Ok,thanks again.
[00:03] <rick__> some people bring a lot of wine
[00:03] <chris__> hi can anyone please tell me how to install jre? my path is old
[00:03] <rick__> always wineing lol
[00:03] <urlin2u> mr, no and your nic does not complete itis to short
[00:04] <chris__> im new
[00:04] <haux> urlin2u, yes, I figure if there's a large database of printer drivers preinstalled, there's no need to keep them. I was able to add a network printer without Ubuntu downloading anything (as far as I could tell). So this makes me think that it comes with a lot of drivers by default
[00:04] <Mr> why is it to short?
[00:04] <ericus> no ActionParsnip, haha, sorry, I thought I was in the #ubuntu-offtopic channel. My bad, I'm drunk :D
[00:04] <urlin2u> Mr, ah if I capitalize the M it completes with the tab otherwise no so no biggie.
[00:05] <chris__> can anyone please help out in installing java re?
[00:05] <urlin2u> haux, not sure really, butg if your HD is so full your clearing stuff that is niot a good thing.
[00:05] <urlin2u> but*
[00:06] <Mr> how do i change my name?
[00:06] <haux> It's not. my ubuntu install is under 5gb
[00:06] <Mr> nic name?
[00:06] <haux> excluding /home
[00:06] <cfhowlett> Mr  /nick
[00:06] <ryan1> does anyone know the terminal command to read a a file as if it has been parsed?
[00:06] <Mr> mr /nick
[00:06] <urlin2u> haux, a wubi?
[00:06] <haux> wubi?
[00:06] <Mr> ?
[00:06] <urlin2u> haux, installed from windows.
[00:06] <haux> Oh, no.
[00:07] <haux> xubuntu
[00:07] <brontosaurusrex>  /nick mynewlongernick
[00:07] <rick__> why cant i highlight text with my cursor?????? im on ubuntu 11.10
[00:07] <chris__> does anyone know the sudo apt-get for jre?
[00:07] <MrMr> haha there!
[00:07] <urlin2u> haux, rather small though al lit would take to lock it up is a logfile filling it up
[00:07] <Vag-Stain> BOOM
[00:08] <Vag-Stain> n
[00:08] <haux> urlin2u, lock what up?
[00:08] <urlin2u> haux the OS
[00:08] <recon_lap> chris__: i think there is a jvm6 installed by default
[00:08] <Vag-Stain> what is the best torrent client?
[00:09] <cfhowlett> !best|vag-stain
[00:09] <Vag-Stain> jd
[00:09] <chris__> recon_lap, ok ty what i need to know now is how to install from a tar.gz?
[00:09] <Vag-Stain> wow look at all these rules
[00:10] <haux> urlin2u, well I mean, my install is ~5gb large. The partition is 30gb on a ssd.
[00:10] <brontosaurusrex> Vag-Stain: nothing wrong with transmission (should be installed)
[00:10] <willfrand> hi
[00:10] <willfrand> i need your help
[00:10] <urlin2u> haux, ah I see, cool.
[00:10] <recon_lap> chris__: have you tried untaring it and reading the readme ?
[00:10] <urlin2u> !help | willfrand
[00:10] <chris__> recon_lap, not yet do you advice??
[00:11] <maujhsn> urlinu2  Trying to copy a newly downloaded folder to a new folder location what are the commands to do this?
[00:11] <Vag-Stain> i;'ve never herd of transmission
[00:11] <recon_lap> chris__ ; facepalm, you could untar it and read the readme
[00:12] <chris__> will do
[00:12] <JosephHarrietha> Hello, Please take a look at this information: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=fb0aa063d86d1aeae48c9cbadca3a85627173af8
[00:12] <urlin2u> maujhsn, you can drag and drop or copy and paste.
[00:12] <urlin2u> if the destination is not in files
[00:12] <JosephHarrietha> I am having trouble with my headset. When speaking I sound slow and demonic. I have no idea why its slowing my voice /lowering the pitch
[00:12] <maujhsn> Urlin2u Happy New Year!
[00:13] <urlin2u> maujhsn, lol a bit late. :)
[00:13] <JosephHarrietha> All information required is in the link I have sent, repeated here: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=fb0aa063d86d1aeae48c9cbadca3a85627173af8
[00:13] <cfhowlett> Vag-Stain: http://bit.ly/zwfO9X
[00:14] <willfrand> i've a .avi video, but this video was corrupted, i believe that was a virus, i need recuperate this video, i has to use the divfix, and the mobile media converter, but no resolve my problem. Im from colombia
[00:14] <JosephHarrietha> !google | cfhowlett,
[00:14] <urlin2u> willfrand, virus in linux or windows?
[00:14] <maujhsn> urlin2u I get an error message when I try the drag and drop method!
[00:14] <ActionParsnip> willfrand: vlc may be able to fix it
[00:15] <Vag-Stain> cfhowlett: thanks
[00:15] <urlin2u> maujhsn, so where is the file and where is the destination?
[00:15] <urlin2u> and what is the file?
[00:15] <brontosaurusrex> maujhsn: what error?
[00:15] <Vag-Stain> how to i run transmission?
[00:15] <butch256> Hi - I just did a fresh 11.04 install, and now I'm getting "error: no video mode activated" from grub on boot.  Is this common?
[00:16] <JosephHarrietha> willfrand, It was NOT a virus. I promise you that.  Unfortnatly, the truth is quite the opposite. There are no active viri that affect video files in the way you described.
[00:16] <urlin2u> Vag-Stain, start iot from the menu.
[00:16] <urlin2u> it
[00:17] <brontosaurusrex> Vag-Stain: i image you need to click on the right icon/menu or whatever is gnome using this days
[00:17] <JosephHarrietha> willfrand, It is far more likely that the file was corrupted via a device being unplugged while copying, severe fragmentation or a bad sector remap gone wrong.
[00:17] <andrew9183> how come free the fish doesnt work in ubuntu ? :(
[00:17] <chris__> recon_lap, cant find any details as to what todo in the read me im trying to install eclipse?
[00:17] <Vag-Stain> how do i run it from the terminal
[00:17] <Vag-Stain> ?
[00:17] <willfrand> yes joseph, probably, but then, how can to make to recuperate this video?
[00:18] <urlin2u> willfrand, are you sure you may not just be missing codecs?
[00:18] <maujhsn> urlin2u, brontosaurusrex  Error message permission denied! going from /home/dowloads/(file) to /usr/share/gimp.
[00:18] <butch256> It says to edit /etc/... but my grub drive only has "/boot"
[00:18] <Vag-Stain> got it thanks'
[00:18] <recon_lap> chris__: what file did you download, and does it contain a file that ends with .deb
[00:19] <urlin2u> maujhsn, what is the download, did y9ou check the repos?
[00:19] <chris__> recon just looking,
[00:19] <urlin2u> you
[00:19] <willfrand> yes urlin2u, i sure that isn't the codecs
[00:19] <JosephHarrietha> willfrand, It will all depend on how much damage has been done. A missing byte or two, vlc will do that. Alot missing? won't work. Make sure you have the proper codec installed and try VLC.
[00:19] <urlin2u> willfrand, avi is just video container could be a number of formats I believe.
[00:19] <willfrand> i'm sure that the problem isn't codecs
[00:19] <JosephHarrietha> willfrand, you could *in theory* overwrite the bad sectors with black a , besides a few black frames, your file would appear fine.
[00:20] <chris__> /home/chris/Downloads/eclipse-java-indigo-SR1-linux-gtk.tar.gz no deb
[00:20] <chris__> here recon_lap
[00:20] <JosephHarrietha> chris__ Question, why is someone who can't even install the IDE attempting to learn to program?
[00:20] <recon_lap> chris__: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EclipseIDE , i followed these instructions when i installed
[00:21] <maujhsn> urlin2u  gimp-gap-2.6.0-tar.bz2
[00:21] <chris__> recon how long ago?
[00:21] <Vag-Stain>  time for me to restart be back if everything goes ok
[00:21] <JosephHarrietha> I am having trouble with my headset. When speaking I sound slow and demonic. I have no idea why its slowing my voice /lowering the pitch
[00:21] <JosephHarrietha> All information required is in the link I have sent, repeated here: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=fb0aa063d86d1aeae48c9cbadca3a85627173af8
[00:21] <willfrand> Joseph, i suppose that this solution was possible with the divfix program, but when i execute divfix, it tell me that this file isn't a .avi file
[00:21] <recon_lap> JosephHarrietha: everyone has to start somewhere
[00:22] <urlin2u> maujhsn, thatb is in my synaptic in 11.10.
[00:22] <JosephHarrietha> willfrand, what command did you use? (If it is a console program, I've never heard of it)
[00:22] <willfrand> divfix
[00:22] <cfhowlett> willfrand: see ffmpeg
[00:22] <JosephHarrietha> recon_lap, Start with bash, or maybe ya know... learning the logistics of how to actually use a computer .... such as standalone programs.
[00:22] <brontosaurusrex> willfrand: maybe install mediainfo (it is not in repos, google it), then type : mediainfo my.avi and see what it says, after that you may be able to pick a proper tool for repair
[00:23] <maujhsn> urlin2u "The file downloads to the default download folder & I want to extract & compile it in GIMP!
[00:23] <recon_lap> JosephHarrietha: best to start with what you are interested in, the rest will follow quickly :)
[00:23] <JosephHarrietha> recon_lap, Surely, someone who does not have the problem solving skills to figure out a simple archive, will not be very successful in programming.
[00:23] <cfhowlett> willfrand: ffmpeg -i yourvideo.avi will tell just about everything you'd want to know.
[00:23] <urlin2u> maujhsn, out of my pay rate. :)
[00:24] <willfrand> i'm going to ok brontosaurusrex, im going to try
[00:24] <JosephHarrietha> recon_lap, Best to start with the basics. I was interested in Physics, I did not jump right into atomic energies.
[00:24] <chris__> recon_lap, thanks i found the repos which somehow eluded me
[00:24] <maujhsn> urlin2u "At least your honest".
[00:24] <brontosaurusrex> willfrand: or what cfhowlett said, ffmpeg should be in repos
[00:24] <urlin2u> JosephHarrietha, no quantum theory at the start eh. :)
[00:24] <maujhsn> Any takers?
[00:24] <willfrand> ok cfhowlett, i'm going to try, thanks
[00:25] <urlin2u> maujhsn, on a good day. :)
[00:25] <JosephHarrietha> willfrand, is that it.... ? You didn't specific a file.
[00:25] <PaulEycks> What is the name of the document scanning program in Ubuntu 11.10?
[00:25] <chris__> recon_lap,  i mean package
[00:25] <maujhsn> urlin2u We all have ups & downs...no problem! :)
[00:25] <urlin2u> PaulEycks, simple scan
[00:26] <JosephHarrietha> urlin2u, Sadly no. I am quite versed in the mechanics of quantum energies now, but a few years ago, I was still doing Dx and Dy :P
[00:26] <poop4u> :O
[00:26] <JosephHarrietha> PaulEycks, simple scan
[00:27] <urlin2u> JoeSomebody, hmm the nobel laureate I saw speak a while back said if we understood it we were doing better then him.
[00:27] <PaulEycks> Thank you, I have an answer, simplescan.
[00:27] <JosephHarrietha> PaulEycks, If you search "Scan" in the dashboard (Press the Win Key) you'll find it :P
[00:27] <blazento> hey is it possible to de-allocate space from my ubuntu partition after i've made it?
[00:27] <JosephHarrietha> blazento, Yes, but not while its running haha. Make a gparted live CD.
[00:27] <Wargasm> PaulEycks: if you want pdf output file you can use gscan2pdf
[00:28] <recon_lap> JosephHarrietha: it just a matter of empowering the person to do what they want, I'm just giving simple pointers and chris is learning for himself. everyone starts out knowing nothing
[00:28] <urlin2u> JosephHarrietha, the whole field of hypothesis thoug hI guess
[00:28] <brontosaurusrex> simple scan can output pdf as well
[00:28] <Wargasm> mine doesn't seem to want to
[00:28] <Wargasm> thats why I got the other one
[00:28] <brontosaurusrex> oh :)
[00:28] <JosephHarrietha> blazento, http://sourceforge.net/projects/gparted/files/gparted-live-stable/0.11.0-10/gparted-live-0.11.0-10.iso/download
[00:28] <JosephHarrietha> blazento, Burn er to a disc, pop em in, and away you go :P
[00:29] <JosephHarrietha> recon_lap, And in a week, he will be frustrated. still know nothing, and think its all too hard. Start him off easy, and let him grow.
[00:29] <ActionParsnip> JosephHarrietha: the ubuntu install CD has gparted on it, so why need an extra CD>
[00:30] <JosephHarrietha> recon_lap, But of course, your way works as well. Nothing is more empowering than self defeat.
[00:30] <JosephHarrietha> ActionParsnip, Because the ubuntu cd takes 2 minutes to boot and I'm an impatient geek.
[00:31] <||||||||||||||||> JosephHarrietha, USB boot?
[00:31] <lahwran> how would I detect a key being pressed, no matter what application is focused?
[00:31] <JosephHarrietha> JosephHarrietha, For gparted? Yup. You can use pendrivelinux from windows, and the usb creator from linux.
[00:31] <butch256> Grub2 help, ubuntu 11.04 alternate install (raid/crypt/lvm)... video error... anyone?
[00:32] <JosephHarrietha> butch256, Oh, I have the same thing. Truecrypt bootloader, esc to boot, right?
[00:32] <recon_lap> JosephHarrietha: your presupposing that he'll fail and give up. and i cant think of a better start to learing programming than installing an java ide , i would think he would read a programming book next
[00:32] <butch256> JosephHarrietha: "error: no video mode activated" on boot after fresh install
[00:32] <lahwran> recon_lap: java? python is already installed on ubuntu
[00:33] <JosephHarrietha> recon_lap, Java for a newbie? Meh. Better than BASIC I guess. But considering his previously demonstrated problem solving skills, I am sure my prediction is correct.
[00:33] <butch256> JosephHarrietha:  I can successfully start the raid arrays and access the entire install within my live cd - but... no luck fixing so far...
[00:34] <JosephHarrietha> butch256, I see, so its not a truecrypt bug. I've been ignoring it for a while.... maybe I'll get working on it. Since I have another case we can eliminate the possibilities.
[00:34] <urlin2u> JosephHarrietha, super faulty cause and effect bro.
[00:34] <JosephHarrietha> butch256, Does it prevent your system from booting?
[00:34] <butch256> JosephHarrietha: No, i can hit escape and type in my pass etc... its just *really* annoying
[00:34] <JosephHarrietha> butch256, Okay, so your in the same boat as me haha.
[00:35] <butch256> JosephHarrietha: seems so, if i ever figure it out i'll make a blog post, heh
[00:35] <JosephHarrietha> butch256, Alright, can you put your /etc/default/grub file on pastebin? (I don't have a copy of default) and your /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[00:36] <ActionParsnip> JosephHarrietha: usb will boot faster than any CD, why not advise they use a USB stick or maybe even buy one just for your impatience. Think about it
[00:37] <recon_lap> getting snippy tonight, long island ice tea's all round
[00:37] <JosephHarrietha> ActionParsnip, I use a 8GB USB with about 6 distros, 13 system tools, 2 AV's and some other randoms made using YUMI. But as for them, I guess I would have been better off saying the gparted in the live cd :P I just don't like it personally.
[00:37] <butch256> JosephHarrietha: it's the default, no worried, i'm going to finish the rest of my install now (current on laptop, desktop doesnt have net access yet)
[00:38] <ActionParsnip> JosephHarrietha: the user already has the tool you need, just strange to advise to download what they already have
[00:38] <JosephHarrietha> butch256, Alright, can you put them up anyway? (I don't have a copy of the defaults since my system is far from default). I'll compare them and eliminate more possiblities.
[00:38] <ActionParsnip> JosephHarrietha: I have a PXE boot with all that stuff, no need for USB
[00:38] <JosephHarrietha> ActionParsnip, Personal preference makes my advice to others different then what most would consider the "simplest route"
[00:39] <JosephHarrietha> ActionParsnip, I've never seen a need for that. Clutters up the bootloader. I have truecrypt chainload grub2 ( hidden since I only has one entry).
[00:40] <JosephHarrietha> ActionParsnip, I used to have a quint boot, but Arch was too time consuming, Hackintosh was too buggy and Jolicloud was pretty much useless.
[00:41] <JosephHarrietha> butch256, once your install is done of course.
[00:41] <ActionParsnip> JosephHarrietha: try xpud, fastest boot I ever saw
[00:41] <syn-ack> Good evening.
[00:42] <JosephHarrietha> ActionParsnip, I'm going to stick with what I have. Its a stable system, and due to the encryption on both my Ubuntu LTS and Windows 7 (Never upgrading to 8. Ever)... I'd rather not mess with a good thing.
[00:42] <user1_> #plone
[00:43] <ActionParsnip> JosephHarrietha: the stuff in Lucid is painful on newer kit in my experience. I always grab the next release when it hits alpha1
[00:43] <JosephHarrietha> ActionParsnip, I can't really afford to either. Managing two Debian repo's, 4 websites and Uni gets stressful.
[00:44] <JosephHarrietha> ActionParsnip, I can't, I need stability. LTS is the best chance Ive got without going for Debian sqeeze haha.
[00:45] <JosephHarrietha> ActionParsnip, I used to have time to mess with my system and wipe my harddrive every month to have more fun... sadly, this is not the case anymore.
[00:45] <ActionParsnip> JosephHarrietha: I manage several DCs for work as well as remote customers, but its not my kit. My home PC gets played with lots
[00:47] <JosephHarrietha> ActionParsnip, I see, My PC is my work and play. Its a 2009 Gateway MD73 with plenty of upgrades :P, Getting a MBP in June though.
[00:48] <JosephHarrietha> ActionParsnip, I may just fit it into this case If I can haha. I'll miss it. Red, Silver, Black ....  I wouldn't use any other mobile OS.
[00:48] <JosephHarrietha> Regardless, I shall ask once more. Soon I must leave.
[00:48] <JosephHarrietha> syn-ack, To each his own. Personally, I prefer to have a phone that dosen't require debugging.
[00:48] <ActionParsnip> syn-ack: same :)
[00:48] <JosephHarrietha> I am having trouble with my headset. When speaking I sound slow and demonic. I have no idea why its slowing my voice /lowering the pitch
[00:49] <JosephHarrietha> All information required is in the link I have sent, repeated here: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=fb0aa063d86d1aeae48c9cbadca3a85627173af8
[00:49] <ActionParsnip> JosephHarrietha: never had to debug the G1 and GT540 I have had
[00:49] <syn-ack> JosephHarrietha, My phone doesn't require any debugging, either. It's actually really stable.
[00:50] <JosephHarrietha> ActionParsnip, I am only taking shots haha. The nexus looks very nice, I've been using a flip phone for years XD! Never upgraded. Got an iPod Touch just because I kept breaking Mp3 players.
[00:51] <ActionParsnip> JosephHarrietha: does an external mic work ok?
[00:51] <JosephHarrietha> It is an external.
[00:52] <JosephHarrietha> The internal Mic stopped working about... last year? maybe two years ago? Haha. My fiancee spilled coffee on it....
[00:52] <recon_lap> JosephHarrietha:Dont have any ideas other than posting on the help forums might get some answers
[00:53] <JosephHarrietha> Alright. Damn, that's what I get for using a microsoft headset. Christmas gift gone wrong haha
[00:54] <rsvp> Q: how do I start pidgin in another environment, eg "$ DISPLAY=:0.1 && pidgin" does not start up in workspace 1. Any helpful advice ??
[00:54] <JosephHarrietha> Anyway, I best be off. I have work to do, and noobs to pwn at physics (Kidding :P ). Goodbye, and a brief, "have a nice day" to you all
[00:54] <recon_lap> JosephHarrietha: lol is the headset running vista :P
[00:57] <ActionParsnip> rsvp: you can use devilspie (and gdevilspie from googlecode to configure it) to setup which desktop apps start on as well as window dimenstion if you really want
[00:58] <rsvp> ActionParsnip, there must be simple command line solution to start up a program in a desired workspace.
[00:59] <zenon_> hello
[01:00] <binaryplease> hi im looking for a linux software comparable to max/msp, cant find anything usable with google. any suggestions?
[01:00] <zenon_> can anyone tell me what the difference in installer & just unpack & run?
[01:01] <zenon_> in this case its for a game
[01:01] <Vovk> Ubuntu 11.04 does not see my ethernet controller, lspci | grep -i Ethernet does not bring up anything. ifconfig just shows loopback interface. ifconfig eth0 up shows no such device. EVGA motherboard has built in ethernet card. what do?
[01:01] <zenon_> I know just unpack & run will not install
[01:02] <Vovk> install will make it automatically available in ubuntu's menu system
[01:02] <Vovk> and might make it possible to automatically update the game
[01:02] <Vovk> depending on what the installer actually does
[01:02] <Vovk> with unpack and run you'll have to manually make menu entries and manually update
[01:03] <israel> 7quit
[01:03] <recon_lap> zebon_: really depends on the installer, most installers will unpack the program plus other jobs automatically
[01:04] <Vovk> so erm yeah. experienced horrible crash on windows/ubuntu dual boot system while using windows 2 days ago. No live CD's or fresh ubuntu install will see the network card anymore
[01:04] <zenon_> I prefer manually doing things
[01:04] <Vovk> windows won't install due to bad disc
[01:04] <telnetter> installing onto a 4GB usb stick. all went well, but will not boot. says non system disk boot failure. trying to use a boot repair disk which will fix the grub. but I don't want to mess up my systems dual boot. do I purge and reinstall on sdd1 (the usb drive, then place the grub onto sdd? really new user here.
[01:05] <zenon_> ok thank you
[01:05] <Vovk> the actual crash made it impossible to boot any OS (pretty sure mbr and windows boot filesystem were simultaneously corrupted)
[01:05] <Vovk> reinstalled ubuntu 11.04
[01:05] <recon_lap> zenon_: might be getting a lot of external dependency's for example
[01:05] <dicannamas> i did reconfigure graphic drivers as originally from Oneiric after testing some 3th party driver but now i only get the 2d option to work and when i use unity i only get the background
[01:05] <Vovk> can no longer connect to internet with wired device
[01:05] <IsmAvatar> Hey guys.  How do I make it go away?
[01:05] <zenon_> ok
[01:05] <Vovk> kinda in trouble... on laptop without cd writing abilities
[01:05] <Sebastien> Hello, i am trying to create a page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SebLemery but it tells me i am not allowed. How can someone be allowed to do so?
[01:05] <Vovk> really want to force system to see network card - would solve all my issues
[01:06] <zenon_> so in cases its more secure to unpack & run?
[01:06] <Vovk> physical light on network card is on
[01:06]  * Sebastien is a member of http://ubuntu-qc.org/
[01:06] <Vovk> so it's receiving power I guess... but not visible to any OS
[01:07] <Vovk> no network gurus here? :(
[01:08] <ActionParsnip> Vovk: can you ping the router's internal IP?
[01:08] <urlin2u> telnetter, how did you install on the usb?
[01:09] <recon_lap> zenon_: it hard to know, really depends on the program/installer , some installers do little more than unpack the program, others can do lots more. if you want secure you probably have to check the code and compile it yourself
[01:09] <Vovk> router's internal ip is <IP_ADDRESS>?
[01:09] <Vovk> oh
[01:10] <Vovk> no. internal ip of the router is <IP_ADDRESS> (it's actually a laptop forwarding a connection) cannae ping
[01:10] <urlin2u> telnetter, you can load grub to the mbr area of the usb with a kive ubuntu disc, would you like a link?
[01:10] <telnetter> urlin2u, from a livecd, chose sdd1 format ext4, chose swap second partition on sdd and grub on sdd1.
[01:10] <ActionParsnip> Vovk: ok, does the interface have an IP address?
[01:10] <Vovk> interface is not found
[01:10] <Vovk> ifconfig just shows loopback interface
[01:10] <Vovk> lspci does not even show the card
[01:11] <ActionParsnip> Vovk: ok then run:  sudo lshw -C network    youi will see the interface name
[01:11] <Nullifi3d> have you tried compiling drivers?
[01:11] <ActionParsnip> Vovk: you will need the product line
[01:11] <Nullifi3d> Vovk
[01:11] <zenon_> I'm noob at linux in transition, how do I go abount maintaining setup?
[01:11] <telnetter> urlin2u, i have 'boot-repair' which will purge and repair grubs. is that the same thing?
[01:11] <ActionParsnip> zenon_: keep on top of updates
[01:11] <zenon_> cheers Recon
[01:11] <Oer> Vovk, is it enabled in the bios ?
[01:11] <ActionParsnip> zenon_: you can use apps like bleachbit to keep the OS clutter free, otherwise it's pretty ok
[01:12] <urlin2u> telnetter, 3 methods of putting grub in the mbr read carefully.   https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling_GRUB2
[01:12] <Vovk> bios is on factory default, running lshw
[01:12] <Vovk> lshw -C Network -> nothing
[01:12] <recon_lap> zenon_ no one checks the code, trusting the supplier and keeping uptodate normal
[01:12] <Vovk> sudo lshw shows a lot of things, none of which are network card
[01:12] <Vovk> wondering if it's physically damaged
[01:12] <Vovk> don't know how it could be tho
[01:13] <Vovk> maybe a spider crawled in and sparked it... low chance of that tho...
[01:13] <zenon_> thank you all
[01:13] <zenon_> I want to check the code.
[01:13] <zenon_> but I'm noob
[01:13] <Nullifi3d> Vovk, it was working in windows, correct?
[01:13] <Oer> Vovk what type of laptop is it ? does it have a FN key to enable/disable network ?
[01:13] <urlin2u> telnetter, personally I would not use any gui grub repair, but I knkw the basics of doing it from a live cd or using suoergrub to boot the OS and just doing it from the desktop terminal.
[01:13] <zenon_> loosening off the eyes ^^
[01:13] <syn-ack> Oer, My HP does.
[01:13] <urlin2u> supergrub*
[01:14] <Vovk> was working in windows - then windows crashed (lulz) and suddenly, nothing would boot. reinstalled ubuntu on same HD, it boots
[01:14] <Vovk> it is a desktop
[01:14] <Vovk> writing to you from lappy
[01:14] <Nullifi3d> so if you know or can find out the model of the laptop, and from that determine your nic, id suggest finding specific drivers for your nic and compiling them for the kernel
[01:14] <Nullifi3d> i think thats a good step to take
[01:15] <Nullifi3d> thats what id do at this point if i were you
[01:15] <zenon_> what tutorials should I watch?
[01:15] <Vovk> not on a laptop. EVGA FTW 720 motherboard with built in ethernet card
[01:15] <telnetter> urlin2u, i have the gui boot-repair. if I tell it to scrub and reinstall the grub on sdd1, then the other option is 'force grub install to' i should choose sdd right? and that won't affect the other two installs I have on the hard drives?
[01:15] <Nullifi3d> oh, wellwhatever
[01:15] <Nullifi3d> can still do it
[01:15] <urlin2u> telnetter, never used it I can't confirm anything.
[01:16] <recon_lap> zenon_ ; seriously, if you distrust the program that much you probably should not install it.
[01:16] <Vovk> hmm want nvidia NIC driver for linux
[01:16] <Vovk> or nvidia nic module
[01:16] <Vovk> the thing is it used to work from a vanilla ubuntu livecd
[01:16] <Vovk> using same livecd won't find NIC anymore
[01:17] <zenon_> its for my own kowledge
[01:17] <ActionParsnip> Vovk: check BIOS
[01:17] <Vovk> rebooting to check BIOS
[01:17] <Nullifi3d> well if thats true then i bet your nic is fried :/
[01:17] <ActionParsnip> Vovk: its probably some realtek thing
[01:17] <Vovk> prolly
[01:17] <zenon_> I dont trust ubuntu
[01:17] <Vovk> you can usually trust ubuntu
[01:17] <zenon_> its good
[01:17] <zenon_> I like it
[01:17] <urlin2u> telnetter, always run a sudo fdisk -l to confirm the usb though as if you boot with a uab the partitions can be moved in how they are being read. Such as then sda of the hd might read as sdb and the usb as sda
[01:17] <Vovk> just can't trust it to not install bloat... but you can take that out yourself
[01:18] <zenon_> but I need to learn how to secure check & fix
[01:18] <zenon_> & everything
[01:18] <urlin2u> bloat the noobs favorite word. lol
[01:18] <zenon_> I lol
[01:19] <recon_lap> zenon_ lol, 4 years collage , and probably 5+ years working in computer security and you would be off to a good start
[01:19] <zenon_> meanig you
[01:19] <ActionParsnip> zenon_: the default setup isn't badly setup for security
[01:19] <Vovk> in BIOS
[01:19] <Vovk> looking for something to help
[01:19] <zenon_> yeh I need to get cracking, excuse the pun
[01:19] <Vovk> found MAC0 and MAC1 lan disabled
[01:19] <Vovk> only 2 choices are disabled and auto... switched them to auto
[01:19] <zenon_> I don't want to crack.
[01:19] <Vovk> don't think that was the right thing tho
[01:19] <ActionParsnip> Vovk: grab your bios manual onmline, you may just need to set it to factory defaults and be ok
[01:20] <Vovk> it was at factory defaults
[01:20] <ActionParsnip> Vovk: just flick through the menus, see what you can find
[01:20] <zenon_> my veiws on security are that it should be updated & secured before even near the net
[01:21] <Oer> Vovk check all settings to be sure, enable execute bit and stuff
[01:21] <zenon_> I don't know how to do that will linux yet
[01:21] <Vovk> checked all settings, enabled basically everything. traying again
[01:21] <Vovk> trying again*
[01:21] <telnetter> urlin2u, yeah, its sdd in fdisk
[01:21] <zenon_> *with
[01:21] <ActionParsnip> zenon_: updates offline is possible but pretty unnecessary
[01:22] <zenon_> I think it is
[01:22] <zenon_> its just logic
[01:22] <ActionParsnip> zenon_: offline windows updates for a home user? Seems excessive
[01:22] <zenon_> mac being uncrashible turned out to be a myth
[01:22] <ActionParsnip> zenon_: you got a WSUS server?
[01:22] <recon_lap> zenon_: you just been using windows to long, ubuntu starts off secure
[01:22] <urlin2u> telnetter, still can't confirm myself on a app I have never used, I gave you the link to fix it easily from a ubuntu live cd though.
[01:22] <Wargasm> bah windows... I hate booting into it
[01:23] <telnetter> urlin2u, yes, thanks I will try that.
[01:23] <zenon_> I don't know what wsus is
[01:23] <recon_lap> zenon_: then you make changes and make it less secure
[01:23] <Wargasm> feels filthy to use windows now that I have ubuntu
[01:23] <zenon_> I read it some where a bit backj
[01:23] <ActionParsnip> zenon_: its an updates server which runs on the network, professional companies have them so easch server doesn't use the new to update from
[01:23] <urlin2u> telnetter, download supergrub to boot into the usb and install the grub bootloader from there one command and a update-grub.
[01:24] <ActionParsnip> zenon_: how would you updte a windows PC without web connection and without WSUS?
[01:24] <zenon_> I'm noob to ervers too =/
[01:24] <syn-ack> ActionParsnip, You'd use BITS
[01:24] <zenon_> can do addressing on the most part
[01:24] <Vovk> cheers
[01:24] <Vovk> turning on everything in bios fixed
[01:24] <ActionParsnip> syn-ack: bits uses the web..
[01:24] <Vovk> not sure how windows effected BIOS, but should be good now.
[01:24] <ActionParsnip> zenon_: how do you update windows before going on the web...
[01:24] <recon_lap> zenon_; been running ubuntu since 2006 without anti virus software and never got a virus
[01:24] <syn-ack> Thats true
[01:25] <zenon_> routers just I don't know all of it
[01:25] <urlin2u> telnetter, http://www.supergrubdisk.org/super-grub2-disk/
[01:25] <hayer> how the hell did one of my network interfaces disappear?
[01:25] <syn-ack> Magic
[01:25] <hayer> no, srsly.
[01:25] <ActionParsnip> hayer: arer you Vovk ?
[01:25] <hayer> no.
[01:25] <hayer> there is no "networking" service
[01:25] <zenon_> I'm refreshed to the point of knowing I need all the sp's & security updates for the sp's
[01:25] <ActionParsnip> hayer: ok, if you run:  sudo lshw -C network    do you see the device?
[01:26] <zenon_> exe's
[01:26] <recon_lap> damn, you beat me to it ActionParsnip
[01:26]  * Lint wonders what OS kernel.org was running without an antivirus software
[01:26] <Vovk> lol i am not hayer
[01:26] <zenon_> brb scrolling right back to see what I missed
[01:27] <ActionParsnip> zenon_: but what about if you need more that you don't have, its clunky as anything for very little gain
[01:27] <hayer> it says "DISABLED"..
[01:27] <Vovk> what does lshw -C Network show hayer?
[01:27] <lwizardl> is there a way block a ubuntu system from internet access but allow for lan connections ? basically I want to be able to transfer files locally but not globally
[01:27] <ActionParsnip> hayer: is there a switch to enable or disable networking?
[01:27] <ActionParsnip> lwizardl: you could set no DNS servers, then set the hostnames in /etc/hosts
[01:27] <urlin2u> telnetter, if you use the supergrub disc to get in to the usb OS I can give you the command to load the grub bootloader.
[01:27] <zenon_> when I get to security software with windows I give up I don't want to pay for what is'nt securing me
[01:28] <hayer> ActionParsnip: i ask u.
[01:28] <bazhang> !ot | zenon_
[01:28] <Vovk> hayer
[01:28] <Vovk> in terminal -> ifconfig
[01:28] <recon_lap>  zenon_ : just install ubuntu and stop thinking in windows , you'll be safe
[01:28] <zenon_> & with socket vulnerabilities whats the point.
[01:28] <goddard> how can i search multiple directories for a file that has a word in the file name?
[01:28] <bazhang> lets get back to ubuntu support. windows chat in ##windows
[01:29] <zenon_> I know linux is more secure anyway
[01:29] <goddard> recon_lap: at least moderately
[01:29] <Vovk> zenon - if you are paranoid, you can use Firestarter to get a firewall set up
[01:29] <Vovk> it's an interface for iptables, which you can read about
[01:29] <bazhang> Vovk, its been displaced by ufw/gufw
[01:29] <Vovk> linux + firewall + sane user access control = basically good
[01:29] <zenon_> thats not tech advice ^^
[01:29] <recon_lap> as far as i recall ubuntu has all ports closed by default
[01:29] <Vovk> ah, did not know that bazhang
[01:29] <syn-ack> bazhang, whaaaa?
[01:29] <goddard> personally i think the "firewalls" suck for linux
[01:30] <Vovk> goddard, hmm?
[01:30] <ActionParsnip> hayer: look at the keyboard and such
[01:30] <Vovk> blocks access to certain ports
[01:30] <ActionParsnip> hayer: or you may have a hard switch
[01:30] <goddard> Vovk: well i mean it in the sense that the GUI sucks
[01:30] <Vovk> and can forward ports to other ones
[01:30] <zenon_> thank you for all advice
[01:30] <Wargasm> zenon_: I use firestarter... you can sit there and watch the traffic if you want
[01:30] <Vovk> what else do you want a firewall to do?
[01:30] <_schism_> anyone running ksplice?
[01:30] <zenon_> scrolling back now
[01:30] <syn-ack> goddard, There's nothing wrong with iptables in and of it's self, but nothing compares to ipw, imo
[01:30] <goddard> Vovk: make it easier less work
[01:30] <ActionParsnip> hayer: you can also use network manager to enable / disable connections
[01:30] <zenon_> thats what I want.
[01:30] <hayer> ActionParsnip: nope, nothing - its a desktop running server
[01:31] <zenon_> cheers
[01:31] <Vovk> firestarter has a fairly nice gui wizard
[01:31] <urlin2u> syn-ack, if you read the channel guidelines it might help you. :)
[01:31] <syn-ack> urlin2u, I know exactly what the channel guidelines are.
[01:31] <zenon_> I'm learning on ubuntu, going to use more advanced distro when ready
[01:31] <Wargasm> zenon_ it also has stop all traffic feature just in case
[01:31] <goddard> Vovk: it is a little dated is all I'm saying
[01:31] <urlin2u> syn-ack, excellent. :)
[01:31] <goddard> Vovk: it does a good job but it could be better
[01:32] <ActionParsnip> hayer: try:  sudo rfkill unblock all
[01:32] <goddard> how can i search multiple directories for a file that has a word in the file name?
[01:32] <ActionParsnip> goddard: sudo find /path/to/folder | grep name
[01:33] <Wargasm> ActionParsnip: thanks, I learned something again
[01:33] <goddard> ActionParsnip: that works if the "name" isn't exact and just has the word in the name? cool
[01:33] <recon_lap> goddard: grep -lir string *
[01:33] <zenon_> my electricity cut out on machine, how would that effect sys & what do I have to do form maintenance?
[01:33] <recon_lap> i think
[01:33] <ActionParsnip> goddard: it can be any part, I suggest you use:  grep -i   make it case insensitive
[01:33] <zenon_> *for
[01:33] <bazhang> zenon_, ##hardware
[01:33] <ActionParsnip> goddard: I use sudo with find so you don't get access denied messages
[01:34] <goddard> ActionParsnip: OK
[01:34] <Guest81507> hello
[01:35] <ActionParsnip> Wargasm: learning is good :D
[01:35] <hayer> ActionParsnip: rfkill not found :s
[01:35] <recon_lap> hi Guest81507 , you might want to pick a name using /nick <aname>
[01:36] <Guest81507> how can i do that
[01:36] <ActionParsnip> hayer: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[01:36] <ActionParsnip> !nick | Guest81507
[01:36] <recon_lap> Guest81507: just type '/nick thenameyouwant'
[01:37] <Guest81507> okay
[01:37] <zenon_> as well my sound card is'nt working right, might install ubuntu studios after I have a shot at fixing
[01:38] <hayer> ActionParsnip: gimme a sec, rebooting - seem'd like the service-thingy crashed.
[01:40] <hayer> ActionParsnip: when booting it waits 2-3mins at "Waiting for network configuration.." then it says "Waiting up to 60 more secs for network configuration"
[01:42] <ActionParsnip> hayer: is the network cable ok?
[01:42] <ActionParsnip> hayer: have you tried a different port
[01:42] <recon_lap> port?
[01:42] <kopilo> hey I'm currently trying to combine jailkit + fuse + ssh, has anyone been able to do this before?
[01:42] <hayer> yepp, cable is ok - problem is that the interface dosnt show up
[01:42] <hayer> not even in ifconfig
[01:43] <kopilo> what does ifconfig list?
[01:43] <Wargasm> ActionParsnip: sweet it worked, very interesting
[01:43] <recon_lap> hayer; paste the output of lshw -C network
[01:43] <zenon_> Zebon, Unzebon *.^
[01:43] <hayer> recon_lap: gimme some secs, got to type
[01:45] <kopilo> is there a way to limit which directories sshfs & scp can connect to via ssh?
[01:45] <Vovk> finally
[01:45] <Vovk> 1 random restart later and internet connection achieved :D
[01:45] <kopilo> \o/
[01:45] <goddard> recon_lap: that thing is taking a long time
[01:45] <Vovk> well... 1 random restart, 1 switching which card the cable was plugged into, and 1 entering of the correct manual router details
[01:46] <recon_lap> goddard: what thing?
[01:46] <hayer> recon_lap, ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/834697/
[01:46] <ActionParsnip> Wargasm: its good fun. can also use:  locate | grep stuff   and so on
[01:46] <Vovk> also, I just realized that the most recent release is called oneiric ocelot... I think Shuttleworth is mad...
[01:47] <goddard> hayer: is there a command line tool to paste clipboard text to ubuntu pastebin?
[01:47] <recon_lap> hayer: try ifup eth0
[01:47] <hayer> with sudo?
[01:47] <ActionParsnip> Vovk: just use version numbers and ignore the codenames then
[01:47] <hayer> goddard: no, not as i know of
[01:48] <kopilo> $sudo ifconfig eth0
[01:48] <kopilo> $sudo ifconfig eth0 up
[01:48] <Vovk> fair 'nuff. also actionparsnip, did nvidia release open source drivers for their 9000 line of cards?
[01:48] <Vovk> i have a very vivid memory of having to download proprietary drivers
[01:48] <recon_lap> opps been a long time since i fought again a network card
[01:49] <kopilo> Vovk you mean neuvou drivers?
[01:49] <Vovk> neuvou is ???
[01:49] <hayer> recon_lap: just says-> /etc/network/interfaces:10: unknown method \n ifup: couldn't read interfaces file "/etc/network/interfaces"
[01:49] <Vovk> remember I had to grab graphics drivers
[01:49] <kopilo> nouveau*
[01:49] <Oer> Vovk what does this give you > lspci | grep VGA
[01:50] <hayer> recon_lap: my line 10 looks like this-> iface eth0 inet auto    - line 9-> auto eth0
[01:50] <kopilo> if you want 3D acelleration I would still suggest going with the binary nvidia drivers
[01:50] <ActionParsnip> Vovk: not sure, I always add the xorg edgers updates ppa and install the 290 driver  straight off
[01:50] <kopilo> if you don't, nouveau drivers are great
[01:50] <Vovk> nVidia Corp G92 GeForce 9800 GT
[01:50] <m1chael> is postfix with postgresql support easier to set up on centos or ubuntu? is ubuntu generally easier to work with?
[01:50] <recon_lap> hayer: sudo ifconfig eth0     and    sudo ifconfig eth0 up , i'm out of date and forgetfull kopilo seem more current
[01:50] <ActionParsnip> Vovk: I've had ok performance with nouvaeu but Its a habit, kills of plymouth but I don't care
[01:51] <Vovk> also i would love 3D acceleration, tho the drivers used to be available in what used to be called the Restricted Drivers Manager
[01:51] <Vovk> that manager now shows 0 drivers
[01:51] <ActionParsnip> Vovk: I've used both drivers on a 6150 LE and its been ok. I'd imaginr the 9800GT will be ok.
[01:51] <recon_lap> Vovk: check with glxgears
[01:51] <Vovk> apparently unity can't run on a vanilla install with 9800 gt
[01:51] <Vovk> tho apparently unity is crap
[01:51] <hayer> kopilo, recon_lap: didnt do anything?
[01:51] <ActionParsnip> Vovk: run:  sudo apt-get install nvidia-current     and it will install the driver you need
[01:52] <Vovk> and i plan to use fluxbox anyway... but still
[01:52] <Vovk> aah cheers parsnip
[01:52] <hayer> Just same old "Link encap: Ethernet.. " still no ip etc
[01:52] <kopilo> I have used nouveau drivers with 9800GT was fine for 2D stuff
[01:52] <ActionParsnip> Vovk: a software's appeal and quality is a personal thing. Some folks love unity, some hate it
[01:52] <Vovk> i plan to give unity a try
[01:52] <ActionParsnip> Vovk: so it is completely subjective, its like ANY software you can name
[01:52] <Vovk> if it's anywhere as configurable as fluxbox, and doesn't eat a stupid amount of resources, i'll probably stick with it out of laziness
[01:53] <kopilo> icewm, openbox ?
[01:53] <kopilo> fvwm
[01:53] <ActionParsnip> Vovk: I wouldn't say it was as configurable as fluxbox, fluxbox is VERY customizable

[01:53] <kopilo> <3 xfce4 xD
[01:53] <ActionParsnip> same deal
[01:54] <Vovk> features of openbox over fluxbox?
[01:54] <kopilo> lxde doesn't seem too bad though
[01:55] <recon_lap> hayer:  try lspci -nn | grep Network
[01:55] <ActionParsnip> Vovk: they are based on the similar code, not really sure of the differences really
[01:55] <ActionParsnip> kopilo: lxde rocks
[01:55] <hayer> nvm.. in the interfaces i had "auto" .. When it should have been "dhcp".

[01:57] <dano1> Need help recovering data from an encrypted home directory (on lvm) using a live cd
[01:57] <dano1> I've been able to mount the lvm
[01:58] <dano1> can't mount home
[01:59] <goddard> recon_lap: find downloadvault/ | grep -lir '*adult*'
[01:59] <ActionParsnip> goddard: no need for the*s in grep
[01:59] <Vovk> from what i can tell, the active differences between fluxbox and openbox are inital lack of panel in openbox, openbox uses XML format for customization, fluxbox comes with more stuff autoconfigured
[01:59] <goddard> oh
[01:59] <Vovk> other than those, basically the same if you configure them to be the same
[01:59] <Vovk> gunna stick with flux just because i know it
[02:00] <ActionParsnip> goddard: grep finds the string you grep for in the files, so it will always act that way, you don't need to tell it
[02:00] <ActionParsnip> recon_lap: goddard: finf downloadvault | grep -i adult
[02:00] <Vovk> also fluxbox has the slit, but iirc the last stuff to be actively developed for the slit were made for blackbox and are from 2004... so meh
[02:00] <goddard> ActionParsnip: im trying to find the string in the file name only
[02:00] <ActionParsnip> find, you get the idea
[02:00] <goddard> ok
[02:00] <ActionParsnip> goddard: yes, that will do it ;)_
[02:01] <Oer> dano1, these instructions could work, 'sudo ecryptfs-recover-private' >> http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2011/04/introducing-ecryptfs-recover-private.html
[02:02] <dano1> Oer: thanks.  I'll look it over
[02:03] <T_H_X> ..
[02:03] <goddard> ActionParsnip: hmm the only one i can get to return any results is grep -lir adult ~/downloadvault/
[02:03] <ActionParsnip> goddard: that searches _inside the files_ for the word 'adult'
[02:03] <recon_lap> goddard: i never had to use the find bit, been a while but think it was "grep -lir 'adult' *"
[02:04] <goddard> ActionParsnip: will this look recursively through sub folders?
[02:04] <ActionParsnip> goddard: find does that by default, you added the -r switch so it will be recursive
[02:06] <recon_lap> goddard ; you ming want to check greps man page to see if it suports -r
[02:07] <goddard> recon_lap: i think it does but i have zip files
[02:07] <goddard> recon_lap: i dont want to go through zip files hmm...

[02:10] <waggysax> urlin2u, "identify the card?"

[02:21] <clu3> Hello all, in ubuntu 11, after setting the background image via the command "gconftool --type String --set /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename file://path/to/img" , i see that the value is changed, but the desktop bg is still the same. Do i need to do anything to reload the gconf? This script used to work in ubuntu 10.10
[02:23] <ActionParsnip> clu3: 11.10 or 11.04?
[02:24] <clu3> ActionParsnip, 11.04
[02:24] <clu3> i upgraded from ubuntu 10
[02:24] <ActionParsnip> clu3: http://askubuntu.com/questions/66914/how-to-change-desktop-background-from-command-line-in-unity   try that
[02:25] <ActionParsnip> clu3: not sure if natty uses some gnome3 stuffs
[02:25] <Dr_willis> i dont think it does.
[02:25] <Mavrick95> can someone explain to me how I rename/delete/copy a file while in console mode?
[02:25] <ActionParsnip> clu3: you REALLY need to start adding the full versions. There is no ubuntu 10, there is 10.04 and 10.10
[02:25] <Dr_willis> Mavrick95:    mv foo bar
[02:25] <Dr_willis> is one way
[02:26] <ActionParsnip> Mavrick95: mv  to rename
[02:26] <Dr_willis> cp file1 newfile      for copy
[02:26] <Mavrick95> i need to rename the /etc/x11/xorg.conf file prior to rebooting
[02:26] <ActionParsnip> Mavrick95: rm to delete
[02:26] <Dr_willis> Mavrick95:  you may want to check out some bash tutorials.
[02:26] <ActionParsnip> Mavrick95: sudo mv /etc/x11/xorg.conf /etc/x11/xorg.conf_old
[02:26] <buhu> how can I do a back-up of my whole system?
[02:26] <ActionParsnip> !backup | buhu
[02:26] <buhu> ActionParsnip: thanks
[02:26] <Dr_willis> Mavrick95:  sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.MYBackup
[02:26] <urlin2u> buhu, I use clonezilla as a clone

[02:27] <Descra> Hi. A program that uses a library that have a LGPL licence, must be LGPL too? or can have another licence (be closed source, comercial, etc...)?
[02:27] <T_H_X> goddard: find ./ ! \( -name *.zip \) |grep -i adult
[02:27] <T_H_X> will skip sipz
[02:28] <Dr_willis> Descra:  thers is the #gpl channel I belive.
[02:28] <clu3> thanks ActionParsnip , that link works, so it's true, Ubuntu 11.04 is now using Gnome3
[02:28] <Mavrick95> Dr_willis: ok, thanks. i will try the solution you advised me yesterday. if that dows not work i am prepared to install ubuntu again.
[02:28] <Dr_willis> Mavrick95:  i dont even ermber what i did 5 min ago,., much less yesterday. :)
[02:29] <Descra> Dr_willis, yes, with one user here ^^
[02:29] <ActionParsnip> clu3: seems to have moved over, could make it into a script. Something like 'setwallpaper' ;)
[02:31] <Nach0z> hey guys, need some help :/ I seem to have ROYALLY JACKED UP my ~ folder :/
[02:31] <Nach0z> it's got me as the owner when I do ll, but I can't even cd into it unless I'm root
[02:32] <Dr_willis> Nach0z:  check the ownership  of /home/yourusername  also
[02:32] <Dr_willis> and the permissions.
[02:32] <Dr_willis> bbl - work time for me.
[02:32] <Nach0z> that's the first thing I checked :/
[02:32] <Nach0z> still no dice.
[02:32] <ActionParsnip> Nach0z: is the folder markes as executable
[02:32] <Pancakez> Descra: I believe the LGPL libraries can be used in programs with different licenses.  Pretty sure that's the reason the LGPL exists
[02:32] <Nach0z> ActionParsnip: +x? believe so yes
[02:32] <ActionParsnip> Nach0z: sudo chmod +x $HOME
[02:33] <Nach0z> ActionParsnip: done
[02:33] <Nach0z> and still no access for me
[02:33] <T_H_X> check /home
[02:34] <Nach0z> .... just did that now, and it's owned by root. changing to +x...
[02:34] <T_H_X> doh
[02:34] <ActionParsnip> Nach0z: what is the output of: ls -l /home
[02:34] <Xaliave> Hello
[02:34] <Descra> Pancakez, ok. Thx.
[02:37] <Nach0z> ActionParsnip: total 12
[02:37] <Nach0z> drwxrwxr-x 102 vader vader 12288 2012-02-08 21:36 vader
[02:37] <Nach0z> oh whoops
[02:37] <Nach0z> meant to copypaste the pastebinit link :S
[02:38] <Nach0z> sorry. but yeah. I'm confused >_<
[02:38] <T_H_X> ls -ld /home
[02:38] <Nach0z> http://paste.ubuntu.com/834733/
[02:39] <Nach0z> T_H_X: check tha pastebin link there
[02:39] <Nach0z> and what's weird is that I reset all those permissions before I rebooted
[02:39] <Nach0z> when I rebooted again all the perms were changed up
[02:40] <ActionParsnip> Nach0z: is your username 'vader'?
[02:40] <T_H_X> Nach0z: check ls -ld / and  ls -ld /home
[02:40] <clu3> ActionParsnip, yep, i am actually running it as a script to add my todolist to the desktop background, everytime i start my day. https://github.com/clu3/ubuntu-desktop-todo-list ^^
[02:41] <ActionParsnip> clu3: nice, I have similar but its a post install script called: dostuff
[02:41] <T_H_X> Nach0z: they shouldboth be drwxr-xr-x
[02:41] <Nach0z> ActionParsnip: yeah that's me
[02:41] <T_H_X> Nach0z: if not do chmod 755 / /home
[02:41] <Nach0z> T_H_X: they were, but owned by root
[02:41] <T_H_X> Nach0z: thats fine
[02:42] <Nach0z> T_H_X: ActionParsnip: Here's the weird part. When I re-set the permissions and rebooted, the permissions got changed BACK to broken when I logged in
[02:42] <Nach0z> but when I edited /etc/fstab to NOT have /dev/sda9 as /home/vader, and rebooted after fixing perms again, the permissions were all fixed and stuff when I rebooted again
[02:43] <Nach0z> alright. So new problem for yall then
[02:44] <Nach0z> I have a partition I want to mount as /home/vader, so how do I do this without breaking ubuntu? XD
[02:44] <T_H_X> Nach0z: maybe the drive wasnt mounted when you fixed the perms.
[02:44] <Mavrick95> i cant find the xorg.conf file through console mode, it is not found. can it be the reason why my computer is booting to a black screen?
[02:44] <clu3> ActionParsnip, nice. i find todolist in the background image so much easier than opening another todolist app
[02:44] <T_H_X> Nach0z: are you forcing uid and gid via fstab?
[02:45] <Nach0z> T_H_X: not a dang clue. not entirely sure how to check either to be honest
[02:46] <Nach0z> the options were nodev,nosuid though
[02:46] <Nach0z> dunno if that helps at all
[02:47] <T_H_X> Nach0z: /dev/sda9 /home/vader ext4 defaults 0 2     in fstab, if its ext4 FS.. then mount it
[02:47] <fattom> !lista
[02:48] <Nach0z> okidoki.
[02:48] <Nach0z> lemme try that out then and reboot
[02:48] <Nach0z> will I need to chown the partition and stuff to myself after this?
[02:48] <T_H_X> yes
[02:48] <dave> morning :)
[02:49] <T_H_X> heh
[02:49] <Nach0z> T_H_X: so that's the exact command? don't use nosuid or something instead of 'defaults'?
[02:50] <T_H_X> nah
[02:50] <Nach0z> alrighty
[02:50] <Nach0z> will try it out then
[02:51] <Mavrick95> when i try to boot up my computer, before the black screen hits, i can see a line that says "load fallback graphics = [fail]". does that mean I lack ubuntu's standard drivers necessary to solve the black screen issue? i traced back my problem to ati's proprietary graphics, need to remove it.
[02:52] <Nach0z> Mavrick95: what computer are you on just outta curiosity?
[02:52] <Nach0z> I have an ATI card that also doesn't work
[02:53] <Mavrick95> Nach0z: mine is ati discrete gpu Radeon HD5670
[02:53] <Nach0z> hey T_H_X it works, thanks hombre
[02:53] <Nach0z> Mavrick95: I meant the computer itself, like is it a pavilion dv by any chance?
[02:53] <Nach0z> like a HP pavilion dv5 or dv6?
[02:54] <Mavrick95> Nach0z: no, self build
[02:54] <T_H_X> Nach0z: rockin
[02:54] <Nach0z> ah. Mavrick95 is it a hybrid graphics system? intel HD graphics + ATI graphics?
[02:54] <T_H_X> ActionParsnip: sorry for butting in there
[02:55] <Nach0z> T_H_X: got one more question for ya. is there a tag for cp that will make it NOT overwrite files?
[02:56] <Mavrick95> Nach0z: yes, actually i bought thinking of crossfiring with the iGPU from ASUS MoBo, but that is onloy possible while in windows environment
[02:56] <Nach0z> yeah that's the problem :/
[02:56] <Nach0z> hybrid graphics + ATI + Linux BREAKS HORRIBLY  :/
[02:56] <Mavrick95> Nach0z: so it was not enabled the hybrid graphics
[02:56] <chrisy__> hi can anyone please help me to uninstall the android sdk i have problems?
[02:57] <Nach0z> Mavrick95: so you disabled switchable gfx in the bios?
[02:57] <T_H_X> Nach0z: use -i interactive cp
[02:57] <Nach0z> ok.
[02:57] <T_H_X> Nach0z: type man cp   it will tell yu all about it
[02:57] <Mavrick95> Nach0z: i dont know, but i did not change anything related to that in BIOS
[02:58] <Nach0z> T_H_X: thanks. just gonna use -n then
[02:58] <T_H_X> :)
[02:58] <Nach0z> Mavrick95: if you have hybrid graphics in any way you're pretty much S.O.L buddy. I've been workin on making hybrid ATI stuff work for MONTHS now with no luck whatsoever. But if someone else can help you, I'll step aside. XD

[03:37] <lilja_> Hi all. I am trying to install ubuntu alongside Mint 11. Even if I wanted to replace Mint I can't. I've burned 3 iso dvds (correctly) and they do not boot even when I f12 and go from the DVD (I am using a toshiba satellite laptop). I'm more than a bit irritated at this point. I don't have room on my usb device to do it from there. Suggestions? Thanks in advance.
[03:37] <ActionParsnip> scope: run:  gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub
[03:38] <scope> yer i did
[03:38] <scope> and that what i got
[03:38] <ActionParsnip> scope: are you using KDE ?
[03:38] <cfhowlett> lilja_: why would you need both when they share repositories??
[03:38] <scope> im on ubuntu 10.10
[03:38] <scope> maverick
[03:38] <Vako> ActionParsnip http://paste.ubuntu.com/834768/
[03:39] <cfhowlett> lilja_: IOW just install the ubuntu apps you want in mint
[03:39] <lilja_> well, I'd just as easily replace and call it a day; so tired I can't even remember what my point was in keeping mint katya
[03:39] <scope> yer same again
[03:39] <ActionParsnip> Vako: if you run:  sudo iwlist scan    do you see wireless networks?
[03:40] <ActionParsnip> scope: Maverick is EOL in 2 months, I wouldn't waste any time on it and go for Oneiric
[03:40] <scope> ok
[03:40] <scope> but with no mouse how do i o that
[03:40] <ActionParsnip> scope: grab the Oneiric ISO, burn it slowly to a CD after MD5 testing it and boot to it
[03:41] <ActionParsnip> scope: be sure your backups are up to date, delete the Maverick partitions and install to the new free space
[03:41] <Vako> vako@ubuntu:~$ sudo iwlist scan
[03:41] <Vako> lo Interface doesn't support scanning.
[03:41] <Vako> eth0 Interface doesn't support scanning.

[03:41] <lilja_> cfhowlett shouldn't I be able to install ubuntu one way or another? I just don't understand why it won't install. Mint 12 Lisa and Mint 12 KDE won't either but I get further in the process before it stops
[03:41] <scope> wow thats too advance for a newbie
[03:41] <ActionParsnip> Vako: ok can you give a pastebin of:  lsusb; lspci     Thanks
[03:41] <ActionParsnip> scope: hardly..
[03:42] <cfhowlett> lilja_: what error msg's are you getting and what're your hardware specs?
[03:42] <scope> dude you have proberbly been doing this foryears i started pogrammimg last week
[03:42] <scope> this is the first time iv ever used a linux pc
[03:42] <scope> baby steps man baby step
[03:42] <Vako> ActionParsnip http://paste.ubuntu.com/834770/
[03:43] <scope> but i will gie it a try the worst that can happen is i bodge it and have to restart
[03:43] <ericus> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11674650#post11674650 Any ideas? Please reply in the thread, I'm off to sleep now (it's 4:43 in the morning :S)
[03:44] <lilja_> I don't remember for the Mint 12 Lisa disc what the message was, but the others do not display any.. they simply do not work at all. Ubuntu ends up just taking several minutes of the cursor moving down, then it suddenly boots as Mint 11 again. Per specs do you need to know more than which toshiba laptop I am using? Such as how much RAM, etc?
[03:44] <cfhowlett> lilja_: is this a dual boot?
[03:45] <lilja_> I don't have it set up that way. Just Mint 11 right now, and this morning I had to redo that as apparently no swap drive was created the first time it was installed.
[03:45] <cfhowlett> lilja_: are you able to play or operate any other cd's in that disk?  Mine was doing the same thing and I learned that it had actually failed.  Confirmed as it didn't show up in the Places menu...
[03:46] <lilja_> oh you mean the integrity of the disk itself?
[03:46] <ActionParsnip> Vako: are you running this in VMWare?
[03:46] <lilja_> That I am uncertain of as I've now made 3 different ones
[03:46] <cfhowlett> lilja_: no I mean the dvd|rw driver itself had failed.
[03:46] <Vako> ActionParsnip yes
[03:47] <lilja_> So, being a n00b here.. the app I used to burn the iso image?
[03:47] <cfhowlett> lilja_: hardware failure not software.
[03:47] <lilja_> It said it was successful but seeing as every disk I've made with it is worthless.. that could be the case
[03:47] <lilja_> Ah
[03:47] <lilja_> I sure hope not.
[03:47] <lilja_> Is there a test I can run for that?
[03:48] <cfhowlett> lilja_: my replacement cost $69.  Test: stick in a music cd.  If it plays, you're good.  If not...
[03:48] <superdave321> How do I keep transmission from using too much memory and crashing itself and every other app i'm running?
[03:48] <ActionParsnip> Vako: I'd ask in #vmware to make sure the network config is correct
[03:49] <lilja_> *facepalm I definitely don't have $69 lol. Well I know there is another way to install it like I have a tablet or something but I tried that when I still had vista on this thing and it could never get past not unmounting the CD/DVDROM.
[03:49] <cfhowlett> lilja_: no way to burn it to USB and boot?
[03:49] <ActionParsnip> superdave321: can you give a pastebin of the output of: apt-cache policy transmission; lsb_release -a    Thanks
[03:51] <cfhowlett> lilja_: http://www.howtoforge.com/creating-a-bootable-usb-device-on-linux-mint-11
[03:51] <lilja_> Hmm. I could if I had room on a usb device but I don't as that is where I am keeping my bajillion personal files till I get this done. :-/ Ok so another line of questions. I wanted to make a virtual box to put xp on there just so I can run adobe cs3 for win. If everything else works out, is that possible?
[03:51] <lilja_> :-D Thank you.
[03:51] <entreri> test
[03:51] <cfhowlett> lilja_: should be possible.  NOt entirely certain on cs3 tho
[03:52] <cfhowlett> lilja_: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=6584
[03:52] <cfhowlett> guess not...
[03:52] <lilja_> yeah that is a risk I have to take. I'm hoping to download and install it again, then sell it so.. who knows

[03:53] <blumonkey> i just installed ubuntu 10.04 and my external drive is not recognized. it doesnt pop up

[03:53] <blumonkey> on ubuntu 11.04 and 11.10 it all worked fine
[03:53] <superdave321> ActionParsnip: this may not have given you what you need...

[03:53] <ActionParsnip> superdave321: was fine :)

[04:03] <Oer> waggy how did you try to remove gflx ? /usr/share/ati/amd-uninstall.sh ?
[04:03] <ActionParsnip> ferris-: try the boot option: nomodeset
[04:04] <ferris-> thanks ActionParsnip
[04:04] <ActionParsnip> ferris-: if you use an nvidia gpu use: nouveau.blacklist=1
[04:05] <waggysax> Oer, I tried that, no such file
[04:06] <superdave321> ActionParsnip: here's the log entries that caught my eye: http://paste.ubuntu.com/834786/
[04:07] <ferris-> looks like nomodeset worked
[04:08] <ActionParsnip> ferris-: probably some intel rubbish, or ati gpu then :)

[04:08] <ActionParsnip> superdave321: if you run transmission as a new user, is it the same?
[04:08] <Oer> waggysax, all i know is an old way on natty >> http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Natty_Installation_Guide#Removing_Catalyst.2Ffglrx
[04:09] <superdave321> ActionParsnip: Gah, i'd rather not, i've got a million and one things running at the moment...
[04:09] <superdave321> ActionParsnip: rather not try, that is
[04:10] <ActionParsnip> superdave321: it won't affect that in any way...
[04:11] <ActionParsnip> superdave321: each user has its own torrents, so running it as a different user won't affect any other users torrents
[04:12] <superdave321> ActionParsnip: i'm just saying that i'd rather not log out and try. unless i'm assuming incorrectly...
[04:12] <ActionParsnip> superdave321: making a new user and running the app there will test if your settings are causing the issue. If the app misbehaves as the new user with vanilla settings then your settings are the issue, if its the same then it is the application itself at fault
[04:12] <ActionParsnip> superdave321: yes, you would need to log out
[04:13] <ActionParsnip> superdave321: but its something very useful to test
[04:14] <superdave321> ActionParsnip: ok. I'll wrap up and test it. get back with you for log results.

[04:22] <IsmAvatar> urlin2u: what about it? It's not one of the startup programs in there
[04:22] <EvilResistance> zulfan, for future reference ;P
[04:22] <ActionParsnip> IsmAvatar: if you hold ALT, can you drag it?
[04:22] <urlin2u> IsmAvatar, I wonder if its orca
[04:23] <zulfan> EvilResistance : ok thx sorry about that
[04:23] <rubst3r> hi all, i need and advice from an ubuntu user plz
[04:23] <EvilResistance> zulfan, no problem :)
[04:23] <zulfan> iḿ really need help for those error
[04:23] <EvilResistance> rubst3r, 98% of this channel uses Ubuntu, whats your question
[04:23] <ActionParsnip> IsmAvatar: apparently its part of the assistive technologies you may have enabled
[04:23] <IsmAvatar> ActionParsnip: no, it's stuck where it is.
[04:23] <EvilResistance> zulfan, if you can copy-paste the information you were sending into pastebin and then give us the link, perhaps we can assist you
[04:24] <ActionParsnip> IsmAvatar: http://askubuntu.com/questions/4314/on-screen-keyboard-malfunctioning-on-login-screen   try find the dconf equivelants of those commands

[04:25] <zulfan> *python-central
[04:25] <ActionParsnip> mounty is the nuts for people who can't loop mount an ISO file..
[04:26] <zulfan> ok i try to see those link
[04:26] <IsmAvatar> urlin2u: not sure how I'd find out. It doesn't give its name. It was just the Ubuntu 10.04 default. It's white and smooth looking, which seems to be different from the screenshots I'm seeing of Orca's on-screen keyboard.
[04:27] <rubst3r> i want to try ubuntu but i don't know which version 32bits or 64bits and kubuntu or xubuntu??? and what is the best thing to do to install it alonside windows? do i have to create a new partition first?
[04:27] <ActionParsnip> rubst3r: if you just want to try the OS, you can boot a liveCD or USB and use the OS there, in RAM
[04:28] <ActionParsnip> rubst3r: The installer can resize your NTFS, If you use Win7 it can resize it's own NTFS partition and leave free space too
[04:28] <ActionParsnip> rubst3r: either way ensure your backups are up to date in case of catastrophe
[04:28] <anonionchan> Hi can anyone help me on how to use xchat through proxy(tor) or point me to an article.
[04:29] <ActionParsnip> anonionchan: have you not found one online?
[04:29] <urlin2u> IsmAvatar, I'm just guessing here.
[04:30] <anonionchan> i've actually been looking but I may just be blind as hell -_-
[04:30] <urlin2u> never used orca IsmAvatar
[04:30] <ActionParsnip> IsmAvatar: then the commands on that page I gave will work
[04:30] <zulfan> so i dont need use gmount use another software wright? awesoome why i dont think about this iḿ really dunno
[04:30] <zulfan> this my first time use ubuntu
[04:30] <ActionParsnip> zulfan: you can do it in command line if you want, it's not hard
[04:30] <urlin2u> ActionParsnip, thats what I thought since it is lucid just waited for your answer. :)
[04:30] <zulfan> ok
[04:31] <IsmAvatar> urlin2u: not saying you're wrong, either. I'm seeing some pages saying that the default *is* orca. I was just comparing it against screenshots - but they might have changed the look.
[04:31] <zulfan> but what is python function?
[04:31] <ActionParsnip> zulfan: sudo mkdir /media/iso; sudo mount -o loop /path/to/filename.iso /media/iso
[04:31] <urlin2u> IsmAvatar, check ActionParsnip's post.
[04:31] <ActionParsnip> zulfan: python is a great programming language
[04:31] <IsmAvatar> ActionParsnip: not sure if that's gonna work, because I thought gdm was replaced by lightdm
[04:31] <ActionParsnip> IsmAvatar: not in Lucid afaik
[04:32] <IsmAvatar> shoot, what version am I running, lol
[04:32] <zulfan> ok actionparsnip
[04:32] <zulfan> how to fix python-central?
[04:33] <anonionchan> Im going to try something Im out
[04:33] <ActionParsnip> is this dragons den?
[04:34] <zykotick9> IsmAvatar: "lsb_release -a" in a terminal will show your ubuntu version info
[04:34] <IsmAvatar> ActionParsnip, urlin2u: I'm sorry, I didn't mean 10.04.  I'm using 11.10. (thanks zykotick9)
[04:35] <ActionParsnip> IsmAvatar: big difference dude :)
[04:35] <bootris> quakersmakes me laugh
[04:35] <IsmAvatar> yeah, I know
[04:35] <IsmAvatar> sometimes I think the year is still 1998, too.
[04:35] <IsmAvatar> :-p
[04:35] <urlin2u> IsmAvatar, dconf is accesed with advanced settings
[04:36] <urlin2u> in the dash
[04:36] <ActionParsnip> IsmAvatar: look for similar config in dconf-editor is all I can suggest
[04:36] <IsmAvatar> urlin2u: nothing named "adva..." in the dash
[04:36] <ActionParsnip> IsmAvatar: install dconf-editor
[04:36] <urlin2u> IsmAvatar, I'm wrong there ia better just shut up. :)
[04:37] <urlin2u> I
[04:37] <bootris> poop
[04:39] <ActionParsnip> nobody got the dragons den joke, or did it just suck...
[04:40] <urlin2u> So I have loss the search in unity dash 11.10 and the alt-f2 function yipee any fixes.
[04:40] <urlin2u> alt-f2 search that is
[04:40] <IsmAvatar> not familiar with that, sorry. Anyways, not seeing any kind of /desktop/gnome/applications/at/screen_keyboard_enabled or anything for lightdm.
[04:41] <EvilResistance> zulfan, i'd file a bug against the package, that seems to suggest there's an error in its config scripts
[04:41] <EvilResistance> unless actionparsnip has already helped you deal with it
[04:41] <IsmAvatar> I see a /desktop/gnome, but all it's got inside is crypto and remote-access. There's also an org/gnome/desktop/applications, but it's only got office and terminal
[04:41] <zulfan> use another software
[04:42] <bootris> Can anyone please help me with this, because I'm stuck and can't seem to find any info on this on google.. or not using right keywords
[04:42] <zulfan> but when iḿ try to reinstalling python-central always show error msg
[04:42] <emillime> i missed the joke
[04:43] <Mavrick95> i was having trouble with the "black screen at boot" issue, but i managed to get to desktop and remove fglrx and xorg entirely. but now when i reboot the screen freezes! can anybody please help? may it be because the xorg.conf file is still there?
[04:43] <ActionParsnip> IsmAvatar: its not in lightdm, its in dconf-editor
[04:43] <ActionParsnip> IsmAvatar: sniff around in the settings, you may find something
[04:43] <IsmAvatar> ActionParsnip: yeah, I'm in dconf-editor
[04:44] <IsmAvatar> I found an /apps/onboard
[04:44] <bootris> its not in lightdm, its in dconf-editor.. sniff around in the settings, you may find something
[04:44] <kopilo> anyone delt with sshd + chroot?
[04:44] <bobenhaus> hola.

[04:45] <zerothis> how can i force all sound through my bluetooth headset in oneiric?
[04:45] <bootris> i have 5 broken virus infested comps at my exgfs house
[04:45] <EvilResistance> zulfan, as i said, file a bug against the package, as it seems the package has some configuration issues.  i'm not entirely sure how to fix your issue, unfortunately
[04:45] <kopilo> zerothis - depends on your audio stack, with pulseaudio you could define all your other devices as null or something
[04:46] <vindav> how does one activate the sound in Ubuntu 11.10 (Unity) when it's not muted, the volume is up, and Rhythmbox is effectively playing mp3 tracks ?
[04:46] <Mavrick95> ayone here had experienced "frozen screen at startup" issue?
[04:46] <bootris> .. buhman there is theory behind psilocybin too, also, there were updates to vlc lately which included changes I proposed, but I've studied French, German and Spanish yet?..
[04:46] <zulfan> oh i see i didnt see what the issue about python should i remove that
[04:46] <bobenhaus> does anyone know if firefox 11 is full production or beta for ubuntu/linux?
[04:46] <emillime> 11?
[04:46] <bobenhaus> yeah 11
[04:46] <ActionParsnip> zerothis: set the bluetooth device as the default sound device in sound prefs
[04:47] <vindav> bobenhaus:  FF11 is beta for Ubuntu Linux.
[04:47] <bobenhaus> ahh ok.
[04:47] <emillime> i have the nightly
[04:47] <kopilo> they changed their release protocol because they felt inept having firefox 4
[04:47] <bobenhaus> emillime: do you know the repo for ff11 nightly?
[04:47] <emillime> wait one
[04:47] <vindav> bobenhaus:  if you are running 64 bit, do not use FF11 as it will crash alot.
[04:47] <bobenhaus> vindav: I'm using 32x
[04:48] <ActionParsnip> vindav: i thought that was a 'feature' in firefox all versions. hahahahha
[04:48] <zerothis> kopilo: i am using puselaudio, not sure how  to null as you suggest
[04:48] <bobenhaus> !firefox 11
[04:48] <bobenhaus> 1firefox11
[04:48] <emillime> http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa/ubuntu
[04:48] <bobenhaus> thanks
[04:48] <vindav> bobenhaus:  What O/S are you using on your 32 bit system where you want to or are running FF11 ?
[04:48] <EvilResistance> !firefox | bobenhaus
[04:48] <kopilo> zerothis are you using pavucontrols?
[04:49] <bobenhaus> vindav:   ubuntu32 11.10
[04:49] <Mavrick95> can someone here support me on the frozen screen issue?
[04:49] <vindav> ikonia:   How does one activate the sound in Ubuntu 11.10 (Unity) when it's not muted, the volume is up, and Rhythmbox is effectively playing mp3 tracks ?
[04:49] <emillime> ive only used it twice
[04:49] <ActionParsnip> Mavrick95: if you press CTRL+ALT+F1 can you use CLI there?
[04:49] <zerothis> ActionParsnip: is there a command line to launch that?
[04:49] <bobenhaus> emillime: thanks
[04:49] <emillime> np
[04:49] <ActionParsnip> zerothis: launch what?
[04:49] <bootris> irc protocol only handles so much stuff..
[04:49] <vindav> bobenhaus:  I know this that FF10 works great in Ubuntu 11.10
[04:49] <emillime> yea 10
[04:50] <emillime> is all you need
[04:50] <emillime> 11 i havent used much
[04:50] <ActionParsnip> chromium daily build ftw :)
[04:50] <emillime> fast enough and has what i need
[04:50] <vindav> bobenhaus:  also, FF11 works great in a 32bit platform as well
[04:50] <bootris> moment
[04:50] <emillime> would you suggest chrome over ff
[04:51] <emillime> Ive never tried chrome
[04:51] <ActionParsnip> chromium, not chrome
[04:51] <zerothis> pavucontrol shows only single device, not my headset
[04:52] <bootris> it would be easy for me to die from a seizure or heart attack on a small amount of cocaine or methamphetamine
[04:52] <vindav> bobenhaus:  Do you have sound working for your audio applications in Ubuntu 11.10 ?
[04:52] <urlin2u> hmm a restart of ldm fixed the missing dash search
[04:52] <zerothis> ActionParsnip: launch prefs
[04:52] <zulfan> thx for help me
[04:52] <zulfan> gtg
[04:52] <zulfan> bye all
[04:52] <ActionParsnip> zerothis: for sound you mean?
[04:52] <kopilo> zerothis then you are having the same issues I am having with bluetooth sound :(
[04:53] <kopilo> sorry don't know how to fix yet
[04:53] <bootris> in a sick way made me perogies they are good..
[04:53] <emillime> no chrome
[04:53] <vindav> ActionParsnip:  hi there...we were speaking last night.  Would you know how one does activate the sound in Ubuntu 11.10 (Unity) when it's not muted, the volume is up, and Rhythmbox is effectively playing mp3 tracks ?
[04:53] <chrisy__> hi, if i dl a tar.gz unpack it and then run a utility from the command line which can then delete itself but still leaves some dirs etc behind how can i remove them or is this normal?
[04:53] <ActionParsnip> vindav: are speaker on?
[04:54] <bootris> and kinda strange to "malloc"? 1024M to genarate an ssl certificate?. why oversell? O_o
[04:54] <vindav> ActionParsnip:  yes
[04:54] <Mavrick95> ActionParsnip: yes, i get to tty1
[04:54] <bobenhaus> vindav: yuppers
[04:54] <bobenhaus> anyone know the ppa for ff11 ?
[04:54] <emillime> http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa/ubuntu
[04:54] <ActionParsnip> Mavrick95: ok then run:   dmesg      and read the last few lines
[04:54] <vindav> bobenhaus:  was that a eureka moment ?
[04:54] <Mavrick95> but i doesnt let me delete the xorg.conf (it says "directory or file not found")
[04:54] <ActionParsnip> bobenhaus: I know of it, yes
[04:55] <bootris> .. once opend, they have threatened me but shesaysi have to sleep i think my viruses are gone but my thing is smoking cannabis.. i guess i shouldnt do uppers..
[04:55] <bobenhaus> vindav:  what do you mean?
[04:55] <ActionParsnip> bobenhaus: do you want it?
[04:55] <bobenhaus> actionparsnip:  Sure
[04:55] <vindav> bobenhaus:  what does yuppers mean ?
[04:55] <bootris> gnomes could crawl inside her..
[04:55] <bootris> blacks probobly drink the lemonadeand eat the rich and famous?..
[04:55] <bobenhaus> vindav: Yes I have sound with my ubuntu 32x :)
[04:55] <EvilResistance> bootris, do you have a support question?
[04:55] <IsmAvatar> ActionParsnip: here's what I'm seeing in deconf-editor: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9975312/dconf-editor.png
[04:56] <bootris> it.. and smoked through a shit about ui tho..
[04:56] <ActionParsnip> bobenhaus: http://news.softpedia.com/news/Download-Firefox-10-Alpha-for-Ubuntu-11-10-235054.shtml
[04:56] <vindav> bobenhaus:  how did you get sound to work for you in Ubuntu 11.10 ?
[04:56] <bobenhaus> thanks
[04:56] <IsmAvatar> closest thing seems to be /apps/onboard, which has a lot of settings, but not really seeing any for enable-at-login
[04:56] <ActionParsnip> IsmAvatar: ok, look elsewhere
[04:56] <bobenhaus> vindav:  installation detected and found my hardware without any problems
[04:56] <bootris> for kids or mixing with vodka it gnomie to sessi it up.. and fall..
[04:56] <staniki> hi guys, literally just finished a fresh install of ubuntu 11.10 but my resolution is unbelievably low, I only have two options: 1024x768 and 800x600 please help
[04:56] <bootris> don't care which way they could use to try my sex drive has always been nice to me.. ty..
[04:56] <EvilResistance> !ops | bootris
[04:56] <bootris> im ignoring bootris lol.. bootris loves me.. its ok tho
[04:56] <bootris> lord i really like astronomy either and i dont knowflamoot..
[04:57] <bobenhaus> acionparnsip:  thanks
[04:57] <vindav> bobenhaus:  we'll, I only got sound when I log in.
[04:57] <bobenhaus> Vindav: I get sound when logging in and also playing music, etc...
[04:58] <vindav> bobenhaus:  what is your audio output set at in terms of hard ware ?
[04:58] <staniki> think i have a graphics problem only two resolutions available on a fresh install, can anyone help?
[04:58] <bobenhaus> let me check
[04:58] <EvilResistance> pangolin, thanks
[04:58] <zerothis> idea: is it my bt set even working, how can i test?
[04:58] <Mavrick95> ActionParsnip: the last line reads "[    18.70183] init: plymouth stop pre-start process (357) terminated with status 1"
[04:59] <ActionParsnip> Mavrick95: ok have a see what that means
[04:59] <Mavrick95> ActionParsnip: another line reads "kvm disabled in BIOS". is this relevant?
[04:59] <dicannamas> couuld someone tell me why i cant click on adobe flash player setting in my browser?
[04:59] <ActionParsnip> Mavrick95: you may also want to run:  cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[05:00] <bobenhaus> vindav: hardware is set to audio stereo duplex
[05:00] <bobenhaus> output is set to analog output
[05:00] <bobenhaus> thats about it
[05:01] <mister2> if i had a folder, or folder tree of videos and wanted to watch a random one, what would be a nice simple way to do that with vlc?
[05:01] <brianwang> Anyone who know the friefox crash log path? my firefox always crash........damn it.
[05:01] <SEWilliam> zune
[05:01] <ActionParsnip> dicannamas: can you give a pastebin of:  lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark'   thanks
[05:02] <ActionParsnip> brianwang: same with a fresh user (or profile if you rename ~/.mozilla/firefox) same deal
[05:02] <Mavrick95> ActionParsnip: fyi, this issue is happening after i removed completely trhough synaptic the fglrx and xorg-amd-ati, but i failed to delete the /etc/x11/xorg.conf file. I am suspicious that this is the main problem, ubuntu trying to load the xorg configuration, but it actually does not have the fglrx drivers because i removed them! what do you think?
[05:02] <ActionParsnip> Mavrick95: I see, the Xorg.0.log file will show you what happened when the X server was created
[05:03] <brianwang> ActionParsnip,  thank you. I will try.
[05:05] <mister2> if i had a folder, or folder tree of videos and wanted to watch a random one, what would be a nice simple way to do that with vlc?
[05:06] <agentgasmask> Hi all. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS x64bit and am trying to get dtmfdial working. I point it at /dev/dsp1 and get "device busy" error. How can I make this play nice with pulseaudio?
[05:07] <vindav> bobenhaus:  Thank you for telling me what you have set for your self in terms of the output sound settings.  I set mine for that and I get sound now.  Ubuntu 11.10 must have the the external sound jack unplugged compared with say Ubuntu 10.04 LTS where you don't need to.
[05:09] <Mavrick95> ActionParsnip: thank you very much. now i can see in the log file lines that read "failed to load module "fglrx" (module does not exist, 0)" and "fatal server error: no screen found".
[05:10] <bobenhaus> vindav: no problema.
[05:10] <Mikee73> Hello everyone, have problem with virtualbox and spent already 2 days solving it withourt resolution...
[05:10] <EvilResistance> Mikee73, elaboration helps :P
[05:10] <bobenhaus> anyone know how to refresh all the default ppa's for the software center?
[05:11] <EvilResistance> bobenhaus, apt-get update
[05:11] <EvilResistance> in terminal
[05:11] <EvilResistance> or just the 'update' button in software center... but since i dont use software center... :P
[05:11] <bobenhaus> evil: will that put back any deleted ones as well?
[05:11] <arkaniad> Hey, server nuts, postfix issue: SASLAUTHD isn't working properly, log: http://pastie.org/private/wxmkz9yekiaryw5lpzzqqw
[05:11] <Mikee73> After enabling 3D suppoort in virtualbox and installing gues addons, my 3D performance actually drops down in Ubuntu 10...
[05:13] <EvilResistance> bobenhaus, if you deleted ppas, they're likely not in your apt sources anymore,  so you might have to readd them
[05:13] <Mikee73> but if I go to software rasterizer, it goes up.... Not sure how to explain that... I m using power hungry video app and really need HARDWARE 3d rendering...
[05:13] <bobenhaus> evil: ok thanks
[05:15] <Mavrick95> ActionParsnip: do you agree that if i can get to remove the xorg.conf file i will be all right?
[05:15] <Mavrick95> the thing is that the teremninal doesnt let me...
[05:16] <zykotick9> Mavrick95: "cd /etc/X11" then "sudo mv xorg.conf xorg.conf.disabled"
[05:17] <zykotick9> bobenhaus: just want to point out that "default ppa's" doesn't make sense, PPAs are 3rd party repositories that you add to ubuntu
[05:18] <zykotick9> Mikee73: vbox doesn't have any hardware acceleration, the 3d is software (you don't get direct hardware access from a VM)
[05:18] <zykotick9> Mikee73: prior to enabling 3d in the VM, you where using 2d, which can be faster for some things
[05:18] <blaine_> hello
[05:19] <zerothis> hi
[05:19] <Mikee73> are you sure? I though that I could still get access to real hardaware 3d, even in virtual box...
[05:20] <zykotick9> Mikee73: not in VBox, you're using a vbox video driver, not the actual cards video driver
[05:20] <Mikee73> if you're right that maybe this explains my problem. Hwever: if I run glxinfo, I see "chropmium" as the video card rasterizer rather than software
[05:20] <zykotick9> Mikee73: you can't use ATI/Nvidia/anyother driver inside Vbox
[05:21] <ActionParsnip> Mavrick95: as long as udev doen't try to load the module
[05:21] <ActionParsnip> Mavrick95: you could blacklist the module too
[05:21] <MartyMacFly> anyone know the official release date of ubuntu 12.04
[05:21] <zykotick9> MartyMacFly: i could tell you the year and month :p
[05:22] <Mikee73> I see. But I still have two options" use Chromium rendering or software rasterizer. Wouldnt it make more sense that Chromium (i.e. hardware ?) would be fatsre than software rasterizer?? But I get only 60 (!) FPS with Chromium and 350 FPS with software rasterizer.. Strange//
[05:22] <MartyMacFly> LOL... I think it's some time in april..?
[05:22] <ActionParsnip> Mikee73: I suggest you use something like LXDE or XFCE in virtualbox, it will make the virtual system impact less on the host
[05:22] <zykotick9> Mikee73: 3d has a lot more overhead when your software emulating it
[05:22] <Mikee73> ActionParsnip: I actually dont see much load on my host...
[05:24] <Mikee73> zykotick9: so you suggest I should stay with software rasterizer rather than trying to tamper with Chromium?
[05:24] <zykotick9> Mikee73: not if you need 3d
[05:25] <ActionParsnip> Mikee73: what is the purpose of the VM?
[05:25] <Mikee73> zykotick9: yes, I need 3d but with "hardware" 3d (i.e. chroimium, even though I have Nviida) i get lower FPS rate than with software rasterizer
[05:25] <zykotick9> Mikee73: 3d is NOT hardware!
[05:27] <ActionParsnip>  Mikee73: what is the purpose of the VM?
[05:27] <ImTheDude> hello
[05:27] <Mikee73> zykotick9: I see, didnt know that... So the bottom line is: what is the optimum setting for my Ubuntu... Now I have software rasterization and get 350 FPS
[05:27] <ActionParsnip> ImTheDude: hi
[05:27] <Anthony> can anyone help me with grub rescue error
[05:27] <ActionParsnip> Anthony: I'd suggest booting to liveCD, chroot and fix there
[05:28] <ImTheDude> anthony you tryed a duel install of ubuntu
[05:28] <zykotick9> Mikee73: software will probably going to be faster then the "software emulated 3d"
[05:28] <zykotick9> is*
[05:28] <Mikee73> ActionParsnip: I have Win7 with a lot of stuff and need to run sophisticated imaging software that runs under linux. Cannot afford partition or new comp...
[05:28] <Anthony> i dont have windows installed
[05:28] <Anthony> chroot is name of live cd
[05:29] <ActionParsnip> Anthony: chroot is a command on the ubuntu livecd
[05:29] <ActionParsnip> Mikee73: i'm guessing its 3D software
[05:30] <Anthony> i jsut type it in the cmd box or in the erro propmt
[05:30] <ActionParsnip> Anthony: its not a case of just typing the command
[05:30] <zykotick9> !grub2 | Anthony
[05:30] <Anthony> then can you tell me how to do it pleasdwe
[05:30] <Mikee73> ActionParsnip: it runs faster when using 3d, if I have it disabled it gives me "OpenGL error: no pincher..." and runs slower
[05:30] <ActionParsnip> Anthony: I suggest you research, rather than try and guess. You will be less likely to do more damage
[05:31] <Mikee73> ActionParsnip: Im not sure Im using right terms, maybe I'm confusing 3D with OpenGL
[05:32] <ActionParsnip> Mikee73: I'd say maybe, try it is all I can say (if you haven't already)
[05:32] <Anthony> whaty do i look up
[05:32] <ActionParsnip> Mikee73: you do realise that ubuntu uses very little drive space
[05:33] <amit> hii
[05:33] <ActionParsnip> Anthony: I'll find it for you. It will be less frustrating for everyone. Websearching: ubuntu chroot   is clearly a challenge
[05:33] <Mikee73> ActionParsnip: yes, so you sugggest installing a partition ? But then I will not be able to simultaneously run Ubuntu and Windows
[05:33] <ActionParsnip> Anthony: www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/09/live-usb-sticking-grub-2-video/
[05:34] <ActionParsnip> Mikee73: a dual boot will give the resources you are running windows with, to ubuntu as well as native hardware access
[05:34] <Guest69288> I cant open some apps from dash after I install unity 5 in Ubuntu 11.10.. using ppa:unity-team/staging
[05:34] <ActionParsnip> Guest69288: contact the ppa maintainer
[05:36] <Guest69288> ActionParsnip, I removed the ppa using ppa-purge... still not working
[05:37] <ActionParsnip> Guest69288: then I suggest you run:  unity --reset   to get default settings
[05:37] <ActionParsnip> Guest69288: you may want to reinstall unity to make sure you are using the official package and its configs
[05:38] <joallard_> What is a good IRC client for ubuntu?
[05:38] <ActionParsnip> joallard_: irssi, pidgin, empathy, xchat, weechat, kopete
[05:38] <ActionParsnip> joallard_: all are great
[05:38] <joallard_> ActionParsnip, what's "the best"
[05:38] <zykotick9> !best | joallard_
[05:39] <joallard_> I'm using xchat right now, but it's pretty buggy
[05:39] <joallard_> Hence the quotes
[05:39] <Mikee73> allright guys, going to sleep, thx
[05:39] <zykotick9> joallard_: ask 50 people, get 50 different answers, it's a useless question
[05:39] <ActionParsnip> joallard_: there is no single best app for anything
[05:39] <joallard_> Let me reask that
[05:39] <ActionParsnip> joallard_: its like asking "What is the best colour?"
[05:40] <joallard_> I don't think so
[05:40] <joallard_> I am experiencing frustration right now
[05:40] <ActionParsnip> joallard_: it is, because none are best. ALl you will get are people's opinions
[05:41] <graft> ubottu, that kind of moral relativism will not stand!
[05:41] <joallard_> Some are better for some people, right?
[05:41] <graft> ubottu: with opinions like that, you're not
[05:41] <ActionParsnip> joallard_: if one app was best above all others then nobody would use anything else would they
[05:41] <ActionParsnip> joallard_: the other apps would die out
[05:41] <joallard_> People could be "wrong"
[05:41] <graft> ActionParsnip: what is this, natural selection?
[05:42] <ActionParsnip> joallard_: all the irc clients are simulataneously the best and worst at the same time
[05:42] <joallard_> Okay, pass.
[05:42] <joallard_> How do I debug xchat?
[05:42] <graft> what's the bug?
[05:42] <ActionParsnip> joallard_: try it, if you like it, use it. If not, try another until you find something you like
[05:42] <joallard_> Segmentation fault
[05:42] <joallard_> Crash
[05:42] <graft> that's a pretty bad one... from the repository?
[05:43] <joallard_> Yes.
[05:43] <graft> well, (1) use something else, or (2) see if you can find a different version of xchat
[05:43] <ActionParsnip> joallard_: you are using an OS which triumphs on freedom and choice, yet you seem to want a room of complete strangers to TELL you what to think and use? smells like microsoft to me..
[05:43] <joallard_> I'm used to seeing *a lot* of bugs in my ubuntu experience. *frustration*
[05:43] <superdave321> ActionParsnip: you remember how I was having that problem with transmission crashing everything? i tried that on another computer, and it worked fine.
[05:43] <joallard_> "<joallard_> Okay, pass."
[05:44] <ActionParsnip> superdave321: that will have different config to the one you are on now, and maybe a different version of the app. Hence why I recommended makeing a new user
[05:44] <Mavrick95> ActionParsnip: do you think that blacklisting the xorg file might work?
[05:44] <ActionParsnip> joallard_: I use irssi and pidgin
[05:44] <graft> joallard_: try pidgin or irssi, they're both great
[05:44] <joallard_> Thank you, but how do I debug xchat?
[05:44] <ActionParsnip> Mavrick95: you'd blacklist the frglrx module so it won't be loaded
[05:44] <graft> joallard_: maybe you can run it through gdb, but if it's just seg faulting i would try compiling it yourself or downloading a different version of it
[05:45] <superdave321> ActionParsnip: so how can I get this one working? I'd rather keep it to one user...
[05:45] <joallard_> I don't have the debugging symbols for it. How do I get them?
[05:45] <graft> joallard_: you build it yourself
[05:45] <joallard_> The symbols will automatically be there?
[05:45] <graft> joallard_: if you include them when you build it, yes
[05:46] <joallard_> Then how do I do that?
[05:46] <graft> joallard_: why do you want to go to this much trouble to fix xchat?
[05:46] <graft> joallard_: wouldn't it be easier to use irssi or pidgin?
[05:46] <ActionParsnip> superdave321: its just to test, thats all
[05:46] <joallard_> That's until I find another bug in another program
[05:46] <joallard_> Bugs ought to be fixed
[05:47] <ActionParsnip> joallard_: war ought not to happen
[05:47] <jag> hi
[05:47] <joallard_> There is an outrageous number of bugs in ubuntu
[05:47] <superdave321> ActionParsnip: Ahh. ok. so where should I start for troubleshooting the problem setting(s)?
[05:47] <zykotick9> joallard_: ubuntu is not about stability
[05:47] <joallard_> ActionParsnip: so we shall encourage it and not try to stop it, right?
[05:47] <ActionParsnip> joallard_: same as in windows, as the song goes "every OS sucks"
[05:47] <ActionParsnip> joallard_: indeed and there are bug fixes and so forth solving them
[05:47] <jag> cant seem to get xrandr to work with .xsessionrc.. it looks like it calls, but reverts once desktop fully loaded -- (the xrandr command works manually in xterm). Any geniuses?
[05:48] <graft> joallard_: which distribution are you using?
[05:48] <joallard_> Oneiric
[05:48] <graft> joallard_: and what version of xchat?
[05:48] <joallard_> 0.30
[05:48] <Mavrick95> ActionParsnip: but the fglrx is already removed from the system, does it matter if i black list it?
[05:48] <graft> joallard_: where did you get xchat version 0.30?
[05:48] <zykotick9> !info xchat
[05:48] <joallard_> ActionParsnip: well, I have not seen important bugs in Windows as the ones I have seen in Ubuntu
[05:48] <joallard_> graft: already packaged from the repos
[05:49] <graft> joallard_: no, the version in the repository is 2.8.8
[05:49] <jag> so what do i use instead of .xsessionrc << is this supported in oneiric ?
[05:49] <ActionParsnip> joallard_: exactly, the ubuntu ones are just more visible. That's all
[05:49] <Vexiant> Yo, if I do a Disk Encryption, I will still be able to access folders and what-not, yes?
[05:49] <ActionParsnip> joallard_: could try xchat-gnome
[05:49] <joallard_> I meant xchat-gnome
[05:49] <ActionParsnip> joallard_: then try xchat
[05:49] <graft> xchat seems to work just fine
[05:50] <joallard_> ActionParsnip: Nope. For example, in ubuntu, sometimes unity/X will crash on suspend/resume. Never seen that kind of important bug in Windows.
[05:50] <ActionParsnip> joallard_: or maybe if you rename the xchat config folder, so a new one can be made, it will behave. Kill xchat off, first :)
[05:50] <jag> any gurus ?
[05:50] <joallard_> ActionParsnip: Even with the bug filed, nothing gets done
[05:50] <Vexiant> Yo, if I do a Disk Encryption, I will still be able to access folders and what-not, yes?
[05:50] <szal> !repeat | Vexiant
[05:50] <ActionParsnip> joallard_: try uninstalling an application in safe mode in Windows vista
[05:50] <urlin2u> Vexiant, how do you plan to encrypt? yes from the running OS only.
[05:50] <joallard_> ActionParsnip: Vista is not the latest version. 7 is.
[05:50] <ActionParsnip> joallard_: it can't be dnoe without some clever registry hacking
[05:50] <syddraf> I have an ubuntu install on partition /dev/sdb2 that is finally configured just the way I want it. Is it possible to wholesale copy it over to /dev/sdc2?
[05:50] <Vexiant> What exactly is the point of it and what does it do?
[05:51] <jag> Vexiant, and of course from rescue too.. but u may have to type commands and stuff
[05:51] <ActionParsnip> joallard_: its still supported an updates are made for it
[05:51] <Vexiant> ok, thanks
[05:51] <ActionParsnip> joallard_: if you call microsoft with an issue in Vista, they will support you
[05:51] <joallard_> ActionParsnip: It's not that I don't like Ubuntu; I love the Linux mentality and everything. But damn the bugs are hard to stomach
[05:51] <urlin2u> Vexiant, or from a encrypted hd if you open it, your question is really lacking details.
[05:51] <jag> Vexiant, if someone steals your computer, they won't be able to see what's on it
[05:51] <joallard_> ActionParsnip: If you call Canonical with an issue in Oneiric, they won't
[05:51] <ActionParsnip> joallard_: try the config folder rename as I suggested
[05:51] <dddd> Hi, how do i install windows wireless adapter on 11.10?
[05:52] <ActionParsnip> joallard_: I'm simply stating that Windows has its share of stupid bugs
[05:52] <ActionParsnip> dddd: never heard of one of those, You sure its not just a regualt adapter..?
[05:52] <joallard_> ActionParsnip: And I'm simply stating that they're not as annoying and as crippling as Ubuntu's
[05:52] <ActionParsnip> joallard_: remember blaster?
[05:52] <urlin2u> dddd, there is a wiki on usb wireless and ones known to work.
[05:52] <ActionParsnip> joallard_: and ALL the systems it nuked
[05:52] <joallard_> And that I feel an awful lot of frustration because of them, in comparison to Windows
[05:53] <ActionParsnip> joallard_: have you done as I suggested yet? Renaming the xchat config folder after closing the app?
[05:53] <joallard_> you mean ~/.config ?
[05:53] <graft> the only thing i ever have a problem with on ubuntu is suspend/resume
[05:53] <graft> networking stuff is way better
[05:53] <dddd> i have a dlink adapter
[05:53] <joallard_> uhhh
[05:54] <urlin2u> !wireless > dddd
[05:54] <ActionParsnip> dddd: thats not a 'windows wireless adapter' then, is it
[05:54] <rigved> syddraf: there are many tools available. check out GParted Live, which already has these tools.
[05:54] <flamoot> yes
[05:54] <jag> !wifi
[05:54] <flamoot> sandaili im sessier than bootris and your nasa fiance let me sleep in your parking lot
[05:54] <dddd> its for windows
[05:54] <joallard_> ActionParsnip: is it ~/.xchat2 ?
[05:55] <syddraf> rigved: You, sir, are awesome. Thank you. It takes me forever to configure Linux systems to my liking.  Kill the app, rename that (check in ~/.config too) then rerun
[05:55] <joallard_> brb
[05:55] <urlin2u> dddd, it said for windows on the package right?
[05:55] <superdave321> dddd: well, with a third party piece of hardware, most of the time other systems can use it one way or another...
[05:56] <Mavrick95> how do i blacklist fglrx while in tty?
[05:57] <ActionParsnip> Mavrick95: echo "blacklist fglrx" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf > /dev/null
[05:57] <Mavrick95> ActionParsnip: thanks, i'll try
[05:57] <Mavrick95> ActionParsnip: if anything happens i come back
[05:58] <superdave321> dddd: what is the model number of your hardware?
[05:59] <dddd> i have a dlink wua 2340
[06:00] <ActionParsnip> dddd: how does it connect to the system?
[06:00] <dddd> usb
[06:00] <ActionParsnip> dddd: run:  lsusb   it will give an 8 character hex ID. You can use that to find guides
[06:00] <Mavrick95> ActionParsnip: iev/null: file or directory not found. what do i do?
[06:01] <ActionParsnip> Mavrick95: /dev/null   dude, read my command
[06:01] <dddd> do i have to install ndiswrapper?
[06:01] <ActionParsnip> Mavrick95: if you run:  cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf    do you see the line: blacklistfglrx
[06:01] <Mavrick95> ActionParsnip: i am starting to be extremely disappointed at ubuntu OS, i am at the console but i can't do much
[06:01] <ActionParsnip> dddd: you may not need it
[06:02] <Mavrick95> c/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
[06:02] <flamoot>  i'll try.. if anything happens i come back
[06:02] <superdave321> ActionParsnip, dddd needs it. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/D-Link_WUA-2340
[06:03] <ActionParsnip> Mavrick95: what is in the blacklist file?
[06:03] <ActionParsnip> superdave321: yeah, a lot of dlink and netgear stuff does
[06:03] <joallard> ActionParsnip: no difference.
[06:03] <ActionParsnip> joallard: report a bug is all I can suggest
[06:03] <joallard> And now they are going to ask me for some more information
[06:04] <zykotick9> joallard: are you still trying to use xchat-gnome?  if so, try the real xchat
[06:04] <phy1729> Is there an easy way to test if rp_filter is working?
[06:04] <joallard> It's that or they're going to ignore me -- experience from ubuntu speaking
[06:04] <joallard> So now
[06:04] <joallard> How do I debug xchat-gnome
[06:05] <superdave321> dddd: you will need ndiswrapper. Here's some instructions for easy installation: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper
[06:05] <joallard> I mean, how do I compile it with debug symbols
[06:05] <flamoot> its for windows
[06:05] <Mavrick95> ActionParsnip: i can see that it blacklisted a lot of drivers, but not the "fglrx".
[06:06] <Mavrick95> ActionParsnip: i think that if, from tty1, i could add a line "blacklist fglrx" to the end of that file i would be allright, but the program doesn't let me
[06:07] <dddd> dave, i followed the instructions a few days ago, but it gave errors when installing
[06:08] <Mavrick95> ActionParsnip: do you know any applicable commands, or i will have to try to get to the desktop anyway to edit the file?
[06:08] <superdave321> dddd: ahh. ok. Try these instructions then: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/D-Link_WUA-2340
[06:08] <flamoot> rofl.. polish rap
[06:08] <superdave321> dddd: also, use the whole username, or else I might not think it's for me...
[06:09] <ActionParsnip> Mavrick95: if its been a while, I'd start considering a clean install
[06:09] <zykotick9> Mavrick95: "sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf" should allow you to edit it from TTY
[06:10] <itsadante> is this the ubuntu help channel?
[06:10] <superdave321> itsadante: sure is!
[06:10] <dddd> superdave321: i will try to install again tomorrow. thanks
[06:10] <Guest2510> hi ubuntu folks :) could anyone help me on how to upgrade apache to 2.2.22 on ubuntu 10.4 server?
[06:10] <superdave321> dddd: You're welcome
[06:11] <jiltdil> I want to send a movie of 450mb via gmail  please tell me how to send such a big video?
[06:11] <ActionParsnip> !ppa | Guest2510
[06:11] <Mavrick95> zykotick9: i tried, but i can not use sudo because my username is not in the sudoers file :/
[06:11] <Guest2510> it seems that apt-get is getting 2.2.14 as the latest apache version
[06:11] <itsadante> sweet!  i need a bit of help changing the screen resolution via command line
[06:11] <ActionParsnip> jiltdil: could use dropbox or similar, they allow public links
[06:12] <damo22> jiltdil: why not send the other guy a cd
[06:12] <saikat> how to install Intel HD graphics driver in UBUNTU 10.04.3???
[06:12] <jiltdil> damo22, coz it is not possible  i have to send it now :(
[06:12] <jiltdil> ActionParsnip,  ok, i am trying..is there no way to compress it below 25 mb
[06:13] <zykotick9> Mavrick95: if you've broken sudo, you can't make any system changes...  consider reinstall
[06:13] <damo22> jiltdil: i doubt you can compress a 450Mb video into something playable under 25mb
[06:13] <EvilResistance> indeed.
[06:13] <saikat> can anybody tell me how to install Intel Hd graphics in ubuntu 10.04
[06:13] <flamoot>  coz it is not possible i have to send it now :(.. ActionParsnip, ok, i am trying..is there no way to compress it below 25 mb
[06:13] <ActionParsnip> jiltdil: not without killing quality
[06:14] <ActionParsnip> jiltdil: you could upload it to youtube if it isn't too long, then give the link
[06:14] <Mavrick95> zykotick9: considering reinstall. but if i reinstall the OS, will i lose all of my files and preferences?
[06:14] <jiltdil> ActionParsnip,  compressing may some loose quality i know, is bzip2 worthy
[06:14] <itsadante> im trying to get a xubuntu live cd to load up on my new system but i cant read the entire screen.  part of it is off the edge
[06:14] <damo22> jiltdil: you cant work miracles with a compression tool
[06:14] <ActionParsnip> jiltdil: no, as in reduce resolution of the video itself
[06:14] <itsadante> how do i resize the screen in command?
[06:15] <mobhero> hi
[06:15] <flamoot> some people thought they'd attend to a deeper need that night than simple camaraderie
[06:15] <dooglus> I wrote a script open-gpg-file which unencrypts .gpg file and opens them.  how can I associate it with .gpg files in nautilus?
[06:15] <zykotick9> Mavrick95: yes, unless you've backed everything up (you do make backups right?)
[06:15] <jiltdil> ActionParsnip, ok thanks :)
[06:15] <flamoot> bottom of this page fixed it for me.. http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Rxvt-Unicode
[06:15] <jiltdil> damo22,  thanks
[06:15] <root_> test
[06:16] <ActionParsnip> dooglus: you could maybe use it as a nautilus script. It will add an entry to your right click menu
[06:16] <Mavrick95> zykotick9: yes, i do. :-D but my backup was 2 weeks old when my computer crashed, so... i will lose a lot...
[06:16] <ActionParsnip> !test | root_
[06:16] <flamoot> the ZaLGOS codebase has start and end keywords :-)
[06:16] <zykotick9> Mavrick95: there is a lesson to be learned here ;)
[06:16] <mobhero> hi..
[06:16] <Mavrick95> zykotick9: yeah, backup every 24 hours from now on. lol
[06:17] <ActionParsnip> Mavrick95: could boot to liveCD and copy the extra bits over
[06:17] <saikat> pls help me
[06:17] <ActionParsnip> !ask | saikat
[06:17] <dooglus> ActionParsnip: I used to click "Use a custom command" in the associations dialog, but it recently disappeared
[06:17] <ActionParsnip> saikat: does it work ok in Oneiric?
[06:17] <flamoot> its not hard to do sky tek
[06:18] <superdave321> dooglus: you could do a rightclick, open with application... it has an option to always use for file type...
[06:18] <ActionParsnip> flamoot: whom are you talking to?
[06:18] <saikat> no... it does not
[06:18] <Mavrick95> ActionParsnip: i don't have the liveCD (nor any other burned media), i only have a usb stick with Ubuntu 11.10, is that ok?
[06:18] <flamoot> if i put somem full myceliated substrate in a cup how long will it take to fruit.. probably an inch or two layer or fully myceliated substrate with half inch vermiculite

[06:20] <ActionParsnip> Tm_T: I believe it's a bot
[06:20] <superdave321> dooglus: did you try the "open with custom command" expand option?
[06:20] <flamoot> was prob the netsplit.. if we were both here then the other channel on a different network would've died
[06:21] <superdave321> dooglus: just under the application selection...
[06:22] <Mavrick95> ActionParsnip and zykotick9: thank you guys very much, i will now leave. i will come back leter on. goodbye everyone, have a nice day!

[06:27] <Endafy> Dropping paid support for Kubuntu is so retarded, I am outraged and am quitting Ubuntu for good.   I hope all of you drown in your own watery dihereah. From the start it has been about the same color. I have always hated Gnome and if you put half the effort into making KDE do what you expext Gnome to do then you might have had desktop dominence.   Forcing shit is what Microsoft and Apple does, and I hope all of you rot!

[06:33] <mib_tyv> hi, thunderbird is showing under packages that would be removed with apt-get's autoremove. how do i make the system see it as a normal package?
[06:34] <ActionParsnip> mib_tyv: try:  sudo apt-get --reinstall install thunderbird
[06:34] <ActionParsnip> mib_tyv: you removed one of its deps more than likely, so it gets marked for removal
[06:34] <mib_tyv> ActionParsnip: aha, a *reinstall*. let me try that.
[06:36] <mib_tyv> ActionParsnip: I don't know, but a reinstall fixed it. Thanks!
[06:37] <ActionParsnip> mib_tyv: you removed one of the deps. apps must have all mandatory deps for them to not be marked for removeal. You probably just installed 2 packages which squared off the packages
[06:42] <lotuspsychje> whats that package name for extended indicators?
[06:44] <szal> what's "extended indicators"?
[06:46] <lotuspsychje> szal: like battery icon, network, more choices

[07:06] <ictixiangixn> thanks
[07:06] <ActionParsnip> ramsta: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc
[07:06] <brerrabbit> sedeki: positive experience?
[07:06] <ActionParsnip> ramsta: remove the ricotz ppa, its causing the issue
[07:07] <sedeki> brerrabbit, yes it is. running gnome3 on a MSI Wind. some plugins to remove certain panels etc to utilize space better
[07:07] <ramsta> action i will do that now also the output is oineric
[07:07] <saganbyte> ActionParsnip: i m not sure which other clients i can try, i tried xchat, telnet and tried to ping chat.freenode.net but no luck
[07:08] <zykotick9> !bot | superdave321
[07:08] <ramsta> actionparsnip how to i remove that
[07:08] <sedeki> brerrabbit, one of those "ultrabooks" would be really cool.
[07:08] <brerrabbit> sedeki: what speed and ram?
[07:08] <ramsta> im fairly new to ubuntu
[07:08] <sedeki> 1,6 ghz Intel Atom
[07:09] <ActionParsnip> ramsta: you can use ppa-purge with the ppa address you added (command line), or you can use software centre
[07:09] <brerrabbit> cool...those are the exact specs I am thinking about.
[07:09] <sedeki> brerrabbit, um, 1 gb of ram
[07:09] <ramsta> alright
[07:09] <brerrabbit> how long is boot time?
[07:09] <ramsta> i cannot find it in software centre
[07:10] <lotuspsychje> !info kazam
[07:10] <sedeki> brerrabbit, about 10-15 sec. some additional for me since i chose encrypted fs during installation -- don't do that
[07:10] <sedeki> maybe less in fact. at most 6-10 sec before i reach gdm
[07:10] <superdave321> saganbyte: here's some info for irc over telnet: http://oreilly.com/pub/h/1963
[07:11] <ActionParsnip> ramsta: how did you add the ppa?
[07:11] <ramsta> to be honest im not sure
[07:11] <ramsta> i dont remeber adding any ricotz ppa
[07:11] <ActionParsnip> ramsta: if you run:  history | grep ppa     what is output?
[07:11] <ramsta> i know i have installed some other ppas
[07:11] <sedeki> brerrabbit, are you thinking about MSI Wind?
[07:11] <hiexpo> ramsta, it's in software sorces
[07:11] <brerrabbit> sedeki: oh wow....that much faster than my recent homebuild with an i7 and 16 gigs of ram
[07:12] <ramsta> alright ill check software sources
[07:12] <sedeki> brerrabbit, windows machine?
[07:12] <ActionParsnip> brerrabbit: how many i7s?
[07:13] <brerrabbit> sedeki: no with ubuntu....I think there are some driver issues with my motherboard that keeps it slow
[07:13] <ramsta> I  cant find it in software sources, action this is the output     1  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ricotz/testing     3  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/gnome3    31  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/gnome3    59  history | grep ppa
[07:13] <sedeki> ah :/
[07:13] <brerrabbit> sedeki: I'm thinking about the Acer Aspire
[07:13] <ActionParsnip> ramsta: those PPAs will make your system VERY unstable
[07:13] <brerrabbit> same specs as yours
[07:14] <ramsta> so how will i remove them
[07:14] <ramsta> the only thing i really want is gnomeshell lol
[07:14] <ActionParsnip> ramsta: I'd reinstall, the changes they make are hugs and removing them will probably leave your OS in a less than decent state
[07:14] <ActionParsnip> ramsta: if you want gnome3, install oneiric
[07:14] <ramsta> so should i reinstalled and then isntall oneiric
[07:15] <sedeki> brerrabbit, ah ok. welcome to the club, then
[07:15] <brerrabbit> sedeki: I take it you are completely happy with your netbook
[07:15] <sedeki> do you mean linuxwise or in general?
[07:16] <sedeki> physically, it's kinda small to have in the lap. works better on the table
[07:17] <brerrabbit> linux wise...just wondering because of my experience with ubuntu on my super fast machine
[07:17] <sedeki> video works fine (but NOT 1080p), standard xvids 700x400 or whatever are fine
[07:17] <Guest94204> hii.. I cant update my Ubuntu. Getting an error http://pastebin.com/qKr9MnAy   Please check
[07:18] <sedeki> brerrabbit, i'm doing mainly text, like programming and so on. when i do bigger things (big files) i notice that the hdd is relatively small... i wouldn't do gaming
[07:19] <sedeki> although i have gnome3, compiz and that kind of fancy stuff
[07:19] <sedeki> works. not the best but it works.
[07:20] <panax3> howdy
[07:20] <sedeki> brerrabbit, i recommend you to check for linux compatability for your particular model
[07:20] <sedeki> a google search for example
[07:20] <sedeki> it should be ok
[07:21] <brerrabbit> sedeki: you mean the netbook or my homebuild tower
[07:22] <sedeki> netbook... and the homebuild -- obviously something's wrong
[07:22] <jayar> is there someway to monitor bandwidth/file transfers via ssh
[07:22] <brerrabbit> ha
[07:22] <sedeki> big annoyance factor with a slow boot :-P
[07:22] <panax3> i find ubuntu makes it easy to hook up with the big butted hotties
[07:22] <jayar> heh
[07:23] <sedeki> no but working at google does
[07:23] <sedeki> or a million in the bank
[07:23] <superdave321> !offtopic | sedeki panax3
[07:24] <zykotick9> superdave321: !ot is a lot shorter to type then !offtopic
[07:25] <superdave321> zykotick9: Good point. Noted :)
[07:25] <jayar> so monitoring file transfer via ssh? anyone?
