[09:05] <Tanvir> Barridus, good. I am in trap by this update. :(
[09:05] <jiltdil> i am on 11.04 64bit in ubuntu s/w center which option shhould i to do install for virtual box as there are many?
[09:05] <dasy2k1> !flash | nesto1000
[09:06] <zvacet> michaels: if you backed up your files reinstall
[09:06] <jiltdil> !virtualbox
[09:07] <michaels> zvacet, sorry, I don't understand what you want to say....
[09:07] <michaels> zvacet, you mean, that I should do reinstall if i have backup? yes, i have backup
[09:08] <zvacet> michaels: if you have files witch you want to keep back them up and after that reinstall
[09:08] <michaels> zvacet, but first, i thought that maybe it makes sense to report this to cannonical somehow.... or does this make no sense?
[09:08] <EbanSoul> Is the download server overloaded with requests ? just curious because it is going really slow here.
[09:08] <eekTheCat> Would someone kindly reccomend an rss client..
[09:08] <michaels> zvacet, maybe they can find a new problem? or a problem that occured also for other users?
[09:08] <yata> I just downloaded ubuntu (i386) (from Australia) it was pretty quick
[09:09] <dasy2k1> most likely EbanSoul, try the bittorrent downloands, they should be fast
[09:09] <red2kic> eekTheCat: Liferea for one thing.
[09:09] <celestial> anyone help with my problem above please
[09:09] <zvacet> michaels: yes it make sense but I don't know how to do it
[09:09] <EbanSoul> tyvm will do
[09:09] <michaels> zvacet, ok thanks!
[09:09] <MrOpposite> hello
[09:09] <berkes> NM it is the "windows"  key. AKAK "meta"
[09:09] <CQ> quick question... i'm running lucid, and do-release-upgrade shows no upgrade available... what do I need to do??
[09:09] <yi`zhi> o well. i'm removing zeitgeist right now
[09:09] <MrOpposite> is there any program that works like screen
[09:09] <red2kic> CQ: You don't have to upgrade if you wish to stay on LTS.
[09:09] <MrOpposite> but for X-applications?
[09:09] <michaels> everyone: how to report broken updates to cannonical? or does this make no sense? if it makes sense; how to do it?
[09:09] <jiltdil> any new fighting game available in ubuntu 11.04?
[09:10] <CQ> red2kic: I know, but in that VM I want to upgrade
[09:10] <red2kic> !bugs | michaels
[09:10] <red2kic> CQ: Check Software Sources. Look for it. :)
[09:10] <dasy2k1> MrOpposite: screen for X apps, isnt that called multiple desktops?
[09:10] <red2kic> CQ: You might want to do a clean installation (just much quicker without having to go through two versions).
[09:10] <eekTheCat> red2kic, thank you. anyone else with news aggregator reccomendations?
[09:10] <MaRk-I> CQ: try: alt+f2 update-manager
[09:10] <zvacet> CQ:  unnder synaptic>repositories>updates>at the bottom you can choose between normal and lts release upgrade set your to normal
[09:10] <MrOpposite> uhm, I was intending on using it with xforwarding and ssh
[09:11] <MrOpposite> to use*
[09:11] <red2kic> eekTheCat: Thunderbird does it -- but it comes with mail + calendar.
[09:11] <MrOpposite> not "on using"
[09:11] <michaels> ubottu, yes, but there are several things broken, because of the update.... is there a way to report the whole state of the installation? so that they maybe can find the bug, if they need this info...?!
[09:11] <red2kic> eekTheCat: Google Reader. I'm sure there are few more I forget about.
[09:11] <red2kic> eekTheCat: Liferea got tray so it's pretty nifty.
[09:11] <dasy2k1> MrOpposite:  i would just use screen then
[09:11] <CQ> hm, can I jump from 10.04 to 11.04, or do I need to hop to 10.10?
[09:12] <MrOpposite> hmm
[09:12] <MrOpposite> does that work?
[09:12] <learner> anyone get pithos to work in 11.04?
[09:12] <michaels> everyone: there are several things broken, because of the update.... is there a way to report the whole state of the installation? so that they maybe can find the bug, if they need this info...?!
[09:12] <zvacet> CQ: you can not skip releases so it is 10,04>10.10>11.04
[09:12] <andeeeuk> hey
[09:12] <cvrser>  MrOpposite: I think you could only do something like that with VNC?
[09:12] <andeeeuk> is anyone having problems with skype in 11.04
[09:13] <zvacet> CQ:  or you can do fresh install of natty
[09:13] <MrOpposite> hmm
[09:13] <andeeeuk> its ok with 1 call but when you make a second it skrews up
[09:13] <eekTheCat> red2kic, so lifera is what you use regularly? I prefer desktop apps, so that eliminates google reader
[09:13] <linuxuz3r> later guys
[09:13] <MrOpposite> hmm
[09:14] <red2kic> eekTheCat: I regularly use Thunderbird but I'm changing that soon as it hogs down my memory. Some kind of memory leak, I imagine. So yeah, I'm not using any RSS at this moment -- but I plan to give liferea a try (I used it before I used Thunderbird).
[09:15] <audhi> #ubuntu+1
[09:15] <red2kic> eekTheCat: Down with Mozilla! Bloated apps! :(
[09:15] <andeeeuk> has anyone else had problems using skype on 11.04?
[09:16] <learner> i don't use it, it seemed shady in 10.10
[09:16] <incorrect1> right now do i go back to a 1x4 virtual desktop arrangement i hate 2x2
[09:16] <celestial> how can i do a repair install of 11.04 my network install was interupted and i cant afford to lose my stuff
[09:17] <eekTheCat> red2kic, liferea is unresponsive right now. it's loading all the default feeds which I was going to delete anyway :(
[09:17] <mang0> guys, I'm downloading the alternate 11.04 iso...which download do I need, Idk which one I need!
[09:17] <mang0> ubuntu-11.04-desktop-i386.iso.torrent is htat what i need?
[09:17] <red2kic> eekTheCat: Default Feeds. Heh. Planet Gnome, Planet Ubuntu, etc. :\
[09:17] <andeeeuk> has anyone heard of skype before?
[09:17] <andeeeuk> :p
[09:17] <SuperLag> andeeeuk: I guess if you're having problems with Skype on 11.04, I won't upgrade...
[09:18] <zvacet> mang0: you can also use alternate not eye candy but do the same job
[09:18] <red2kic> mang0: ubuntu-11-04-alternative-i386.iso.torrent
[09:18] <SuperLag> because we use it too much for me to be without it...
[09:18] <mang0> okay thanks
[09:18] <andeeeuk> SuperLag: yes im having problems with skype on 11.04, i wont upgrade but what do i upgrade to?
[09:19] <mang0> I need skype O.O I can't use 11.04 then
[09:19] <SuperLag> andeeeuk: i don't understand the second part of what you said
[09:19] <Nando> should I install my graphics card driver to use unity?
[09:19] <andeeeuk> well i already have 11.04
[09:19] <andeeeuk> i cant upgrade again
[09:19] <michaels> nando, as far as i know, you need 3d acceleration for unity
[09:19] <ror> right, thanks for the help some of you, I've almost got it back to how I've liked
[09:19] <andeeeuk> have you used it in classic ubuntu?
[09:19] <CQ> andeeeuk: instal virtualbox, install a small older ubuntu, install and trun skype there...
[09:20] <ror> still can't work out how to get my scale switcher back, but that'll do for now
[09:20] <learner> pithos, anyone get that going?
[09:20] <andeeeuk> I really donw know why it has stopped working in 11.04
[09:20] <michaels> nando, is there a open 3d driver for your graphics card? if yes, try this one
[09:20] <andeeeuk> you can make 1 call perfectly
[09:20] <andeeeuk> but another call and its skrewed up
[09:21] <Nando> michaels:  I don't know how it is useful I prefer gnome shell
[09:21] <andeeeuk> i think i will restart skype everytime i need to make a new call :p
[09:22] <andeeeuk> comical one of those really important apps and its not working correctly in 11.04
[09:22] <michaels> nando, I think for gnome shell you also need 3d acceleration, but im not 100% sure
[09:22] <andeeeuk> solution: testing, testing and more testing...
[09:23] <Nando> michaels:  gnome works fine but I have a problem getting in unity
[09:23] <green_> whats up with this ;eft side bar on 11.04? and no bottom panel
[09:24] <green_> left
[09:24] <Soothsayer> ok now
[09:24] <Soothsayer> this is strange
[09:24] <Soothsayer> my ubuntu installer has been stuck on this screen for like 5 hours
[09:24] <dasy2k1> green_:  just log out and log back in again selecting ubuntu classic
[09:24] <michaels> nando? what happens? doen't it load unity and gnome instead?
[09:24] <Soothsayer> "Saving installed packages....."
[09:24] <zvacet> Nando: it can be graphic card issue
[09:24] <Sik> So, I just updated to 11.04 through the updater, and was forced to go into safe mode since apparently Unity crashes on this hardware (video doesn't respond, sometimes system won't boot at all)... besides I don't like it anyways. Is there any way to set Ubuntu to always start with the old shell?
[09:24] <green_> k
[09:24] <Soothsayer> how do i cancel the install ?
[09:24] <Blue1> Soothsayer: power off/power on
[09:25] <Soothsayer> Blue1: hmm.. ok
[09:25] <Soothsayer> going to
[09:25] <jatt> Sik: at login time you can choose classical desktop or similar it will load gnome
[09:25] <Soothsayer> bbl then
[09:25] <zvacet> Soothsayer: restart clomp but will anything work after that
[09:25] <freaky[t]> hi all. how do i install sun java on 11.4?
[09:25] <zvacet> *comp
[09:25] <Sik> jatt: OK, how do I make the old shell the default though? (I'll forget to do it every time, and my mum won't even get she has to do it)
[09:25] <jatt> freaky[t]: download jdk-6u25-linux-i586.bin from oracle's site, install
[09:26] <linuxrocks> Hi all, I'm going to upgrade from 10.10 to 11. Has anyone encountered some obvious problems during the upgrade process?
[09:26] <ror> btw to anyone having problems loading classic; the way I did it was to load "classic (no effects)" then in that switch off "unity plugin" in CCSM, then switch back to "Classic"
[09:26] <krad> hi.  where can I see the list of startup services upon booting the OS?
[09:26] <Nando> michaels: the beautiful thing about gnome tasks  are organized  properly  aplications places etc
[09:26] <Blue1> freaky[t]: this might work:  http://pkill-9.com/easy-way-to-install-java-runtime-enviorment-jre-in-debian/
[09:26] <zvacet> freaky[t]: install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[09:26] <SeRVeR01> hey there, am trying to play game with wine but i got a disturbing thing the game doesn't come in full screen the title bar of ubuntu still there =/ any ideas ?
[09:26] <michaels> linuxrocks, yes I had a servus problems.... make a backup first!!!
[09:26] <ror> Sik: In Administration > Login Screen, there's a choice for "Default"
[09:26] <krad> where can I see the list of startup services upon booting the OS?
[09:26] <jatt> Sik: I don't remember either :(... maybe in the login screen you can set it as default?
[09:26] <linuxrocks> michaels, which kind of problems?
[09:27] <Sik> "Pantalla de acceso" in Spanish?
[09:27] <freaky[t]> jatt: is it adviced to use the sun java insted of the open jdk?
[09:27] <michaels> nando, so you want gnome shell? and this works or not?
[09:27] <Blue1> !es | sik
[09:27] <michaels> linuxrocks, error during install: blackscreen
[09:27] <BlackDex> i just have installed/upgraded to natty
[09:27] <Sik> Blue1: I can speak English, I just have Ubuntu set to Spanish :P
[09:27] <linuxrocks> michaels, that's not good. What did you do then?
[09:27] <Nando> guys anyone has audio cutoffs with skype?
[09:27] <BlackDex> And if i close pidgin, it realy closes
[09:27] <jatt> freaky[t]: I use it at work, it works fine. If it's for your own use is ok (1 user) but for a machine used by different people maybe is better to use from the repos.
[09:27] <Sik> Classic Ubuntu, right?
[09:27] <BlackDex> insteated of running on the background
[09:27] <Blue1> ok
[09:28] <Sik> OK, will reboot, let's see if that does it :O)
[09:28] <freaky[t]> jatt: hm ok thx
[09:28] <zvacet> Sik: onlogin screen under session choose ubuntu classic
[09:28] <Sik> zvacet: OK then I got it
[09:28] <Sik> :P
[09:28] <stefan_> eeeeeeeej
[09:28] <Braiam> BlackDex: check the pidgin preference
[09:28] <zvacet> Sik:  :o
[09:28] <Flashtek> good morning peoples.
[09:29] <fadax> hi
[09:29] <Braiam> Flashtek: night still
[09:29] <michaels> linuxrocks, i completed the upgrade using shell, but now some things are brocken
[09:29] <paul> how does rsync identify two files as the same file and skip it on the next sync, I assume it goes by more than just the fiel name?
[09:29] <linuxrocks> michaels, which things?
[09:29] <michaels> i can't start nautilus
[09:29] <Flashtek> paul, md5
[09:30] <michaels> sometimes ubuntu freezes
[09:30] <michaels> and skype also doen't start, but thats maybee another storry
[09:30] <Flashtek> michaels, put it in the microwave for 2 minutes..
[09:30] <Flashtek> michaels, what hardware ?
[09:30] <michaels> hehe....
[09:30] <michaels> macbook 2,1
[09:30] <Nando> I think 11.4 needs more time to mature
[09:30] <freaky[t]> ok thanks for all your help ;D
[09:30] <paul> Flashtek: this md5 sounds like a goood deal
[09:31] <fadax> i left my ubuntu virtual machine updating to the new version overnight, but during the update it looks like windows update restarted the computer and now i can't boot ubuntu in vmware...  it says "the disk drive for / is not ready yet or not present" .. "press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery"  what should i do?
[09:31] <linuxrocks> michaels, thanks, I will postpone the upgrade...
[09:31] <Braiam> Nando: but it doesn't mature w/o tests
[09:31] <BlackDex> Braiam: The only thing i can see there is about the systray
[09:31] <Whisky_> Upgraded to 11.04 from 10.10 and have been successfuly locked out of X. Even failsafex won't start. I can only get to the login screen and when I enter my password, no desktop! Nightmare! help! :(
[09:31] <BlackDex> and that isn't available any more
[09:31] <zvacet> Nando: same story with every new release of course things will be better when we report bugs
[09:32] <Nando> Braiam: and that unity is stupid move
[09:32] <michaels> linuxrocks, yes, maybe it is a good idea to wat some days with upgrade, if you want to update a productive machine....
[09:32] <cybrhuman> Nando: why is unity a bad move?
[09:32] <ror> because it's regressive not progressive
[09:33] <zvacet> Nando: use gnome or any other de
[09:33] <linuxrocks> michaels, yes, this is my "production" machine. Prefer services to be up than running the new, shiny version of Ubuntu
[09:33] <cybrhuman> ror: unity?
[09:33] <incorrect1> how can i put back normal scroll bars?
[09:33] <linuxrocks> michales, s/the/than
[09:33] <Nando> cybrhuman: cause there is no need for it gnome is better
[09:33] <MJBrune> I have a Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) sound chipset and I want to know if my mic will work in xubuntu but its not working right. How can I fix this?
[09:33] <fadax> can anyone help m?
[09:34] <Flashtek> there is a solution to the "windows rebooted during ubuntu install"
[09:34] <fadax> me
[09:34] <Flashtek> don't run windows !
[09:34] <dasbootcapitan> Hi
[09:34] <cybrhuman> Nando: why? with these 16:9 screens we have today unity gives more production screen estate.
[09:34] <ror> cybrhuman, no it DOESN'T
[09:34] <dasbootcapitan> İ wanna install ubuntu to my refligator
[09:34] <Flashtek> how many sodding times will it run update-grub ffs..
[09:34] <fadax> Flashtek i can't fix this?  i have to reinstall ubuntu?
[09:34] <ror> with 16:9 it's more important to have icons across top/bottom where you can see them all; and I used to use left hand toolbars when I had 4:3
[09:34] <odo_> Hello everyone, any idea how to flush the DNS cache on a vanilla maverick? (short of rebooting, of course)?
[09:34] <cybrhuman> ror: how do you argue that?
[09:35] <dasbootcapitan> How can i compile go bios files
[09:35] <ror> the fact unity doesn't even allow you to choose where to have the launcher is crazy
[09:35] <Flashtek> fadax, boot from recovery, run install-grub or similar
[09:35] <Kartagis> is it possible to chroot ssh except root?
[09:35] <ror> in gnome-classic I can have as many panels as I wish, configure them all as I wish; Unity takes away control
[09:35] <Kartagis> because otherwise I can't log in as root
[09:35] <jatt> unity is beta software avoid it if you use your machine for serious work
[09:36] <Blue1> Kartagis: why do you want to login as root?
[09:36] <Whisky_> anyone?
[09:36] <ror> with 16:9 people don't maximise windows, they have long top/bottom menus making the space 16:8 then split the screen into two 8:8 sections for windows
[09:36] <Nando> cybrhuman:  maybe you are right but I do not see a big difference though
[09:36] <Whisky_> I Upgraded to 11.04 from 10.10 and have been successfuly locked out of X. Even failsafex won't start. I can only get to the login screen and when I enter my password, no desktop! Nightmare! help! :(
[09:36] <jatt> see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity
[09:36] <Kartagis> Blue1: this is a VPS
[09:36] <jatt> 1149 open bugs
[09:36] <jatt> totally useless
[09:36] <fadax> Flashtek i can't  boot from recovery, i get the same error
[09:36] <Blue1> Kartagis: ahh
[09:37] <vish> !ot | jatt
[09:37] <cybrhuman> ror: yes, but for many of us the panels were just there eating more screen estate than we liked, but they had to be there. The combination of the everpresent panel and the top bar of the window is nice I think.
[09:37] <Flashtek> fadax, install CD boot ?
[09:37] <ror> cybrhuman, no they did NOT have to be there! You can add/remove/move them as you wish in gnome. In Unity you cannot move them
[09:37] <cybrhuman> Nando: Not everyone is happy about it of course, but we still have alternatives
[09:37] <fadax> Flashtek well i can get a console root@mycomputer if i press "M" for manual recovery
[09:37] <krad> where can I see the list of startup services upon booting the OS?
[09:38] <fadax> can i do it from here?
[09:38] <Diverdude> where is gs installed in ubuntu?
[09:38] <green_> ok, what is this unity program for if it totally changes the way ubuntu has always looked? is it just to look more like some windows os?
[09:38] <vish> Diverdude: gnome-shell?
[09:38] <Flashtek> fadax, install-grub might help you
[09:38] <cybrhuman> ror: without panels there is no acceptable place for a systray.
[09:38] <ror> green: it takes the worst of mac (single menu at the top) and worst of windows (launchers don't open new instances but switch to old ones) and combines them
[09:38] <fadax> Flashtek it says "command not found"
[09:38] <jatt> green_: is to look more like Mac OS
[09:38] <Diverdude> vish, yes
[09:39] <Sik> OK, it wasn't that (though I wanted to get rid of Unity anyways). Apparently for whatever reason the new Linux kernel doesn't like my computer and won't boot properly no matter what I do, unless I go into safe mode and force it to run with the safe graphics drivers.
[09:39] <vish> !gnome3 | Diverdude
[09:39] <ror> cybrhuman, sure, but you can put a small panel on the left/right/wherever in gnome-classic, you can't with unity, so how is unity an improvement?
[09:39] <Diverdude> vish, its just a normal ubuntu 10.04 shell
[09:39] <ror> by simply forcing you to have the setup the developers want you to have without letting you customize it, is not a progressive step
[09:39] <Nando> cybrhuman: I like the new software center but sometimes I have a problem installing restricted extras giving me message operation failed
[09:39] <ror> Sik: first time I had to boot to an older kernel, then dpkg --configure
[09:39] <green_> jatt: thats what i thought just to make it acceptible for mac users
[09:40] <vish> jatt, green_ : if you dont have any support questions, you can talk in -offtopic..
[09:40] <jatt> green_: yes but it fails miserably imho
[09:40] <Sik> ror: OK, will do that, though later as right now I need to get something off internet >_>
[09:40] <ror> Ubuntu jumped the shark around the time of bug #375345 tbh
[09:40] <Estragon> hi, nautilus is not responding, file manager is not responding too
[09:41] <Estragon> im on 11.04
[09:41] <Estragon> for example I cant click on a icon on desktop or open a places
[09:41] <Whisky_> anyone?
[09:41] <Whisky_> please?
[09:41] <Whisky_> I can't get into X
[09:41] <cybrhuman> ror: understand me, I am not saying unity is the best for all, but for many I am sure it is. And for people who like to use gnome, gnome is still there. As for forcing a look on the desktop, most users wont do too much about their desktop, they want to use it and not having to configure it. So this is an improvement because you get more screen estate as default
[09:42] <fadax> Flashtek oh i found that "grub-install" works, but it says "INSTALL_DEVICE can be a GRUB device name or a system device filename" .. what should i do?
[09:42] <Flashtek> fadax, /dev/sda ??
[09:42] <vish> !ot | cybrhuman , ror
[09:42] <ror> let's take this ot then
[09:42] <Braiam> fadax: it changes depending of your HD array
[09:43] <krad> what's the restart command in ubuntu?
[09:43] <cybrhuman> ror: in a moment
[09:43] <jatt> restart
[09:43] <ror> krad: reboot
[09:43] <krad> not found
[09:43] <jatt> /sbin/restart
[09:43] <ror> or if everything is frozen, ctrl+f2 to get to a terminal, then ctrl+alt+del
[09:43] <HTCPX> does anyone know why ubuntu 11.04 installation is downloading updates when I haven't ticked the download update box?
[09:43] <krad> -su: /sbin/restart: No such file or directory
[09:43] <cybrhuman> Nando: I havn't looked too much around looking for all apps, but I expect it gets a fix.
[09:43] <Braiam> krad: sudo restart
[09:43] <krad> i'm root.
[09:43] <Braiam> krad: sudo reboot
[09:44] <Messelink> "Could not download the release notes" -- nay tips?
[09:44] <Flashtek> krad, define "restart"
[09:44] <fadax> Flashtek: it says "cannot remove /boot/grub/915resolution.mod - it is a read only file system"
[09:44] <Messelink> any%
[09:44] <vish> krad: $ sudo shutdown -r now
[09:44] <krad> Flashtek, to restart the OS
[09:44] <krad> there is no shutdown command
[09:44] <Flashtek> fadax, mount -o remount,rw /dev/sda
[09:44] <fadax> Braiam oh right.. i was running ubuntu on a virtual machine doe it make a difference?
[09:44] <fadax> does*

[09:44] <vish> krad: $ sudo shutdown -r now ; will work, are you trying from terminal? or from GUI
[09:45] <fadax> Flashtek it says it can't find /dev/sda in fstab when i do that
[09:45] <Nando> cybrhuman: thanks it's a pleasure talking with you
[09:45] <bashelina> my latop actually runs much slower now with natty :(
[09:45] <bashelina> shouldnt it be the other way around ?
[09:45] <ouss999> 11.04 sucks
[09:45] <vish> !bug | bashelina
[09:45] <Joemama> I dont think I like this menu layout at all
[09:45] <Joemama> where the heck is the menu bar?
[09:46] <vish> bashelina: so for unity, its $ ubuntu-bug unity
[09:46] <zvacet> bashelina:  try ubuntu classic option to see is it unity related
[09:46] <vish> Joemama: its in the top panel
[09:46] <Joemama> Noes, there's a bar on the left now
[09:46] <Nando> bashelina: agree with you
[09:46] <Joemama> no more of these menus on the bars I guess
[09:47] <crims0n> zomg
[09:47] <crims0n> repositories are slow
[09:47] <crims0n> should have done a clean install xD
[09:47] <krad> (its a virtual serveR)
[09:47] <rizzuh> Do I need to do anything special to upgrade from beta 2 to final?
[09:48] <loxs> folks, I just installed gnome3. It works but the default adwaita gtk theme is not there. It's not available in gnome-tweak-tool interface tab.  How can I install adwaita?
[09:48] <krad> not able to restart it!
[09:48] <Flashtek> krad, sudo shutdown -r now
[09:48] <sanderd17_> Hi there. Does anyone know where I have to file a dependancy problem for natty?
[09:49] <krad> Flashtek, no shutdown cmd
[09:49] <Flashtek> krad, init command work ?
[09:50] <rizzuh> Do I need to do anything special to upgrade from beta 2 to final, aside from upgrading packages?
[09:50] <iszak> Since installing Ubuntu 11.04 my login time (for gnome) has slowed down significantly.
[09:50] <iszak> any way to fix this?
[09:50] <sanderd17_> rizzuh: no you don't
[09:50] <incorrect1> rizzuh, nope
[09:50] <crims0n> rizzuh - I don't belive so, should be good to go
[09:50] <fadax> Flashtek it says it can't find /dev/sda in fstab when i do that
[09:50] <rizzuh> alright, thanks
[09:50] <ouss999> unity it is not stable
[09:50] <marie> hi
[09:50] <incorrect1> rizzuh, i was missing some packages
[09:50] <ouss999> we need to wait for 12.04
[09:50] <zvacet> rizzuh: justdo the updates
[09:50] <iszak> ouss999, agreed
[09:50] <rizzuh> ouss999: it seems stable
[09:50] <marie> how to get  time in hh:mi:ss  for ls -l
[09:51] <iszak> rizzuh, it's relatively stable, bit buggy on dual screens tho
[09:51] <Flashtek> fadax, how about sda1/sda2/sda3 etc..etc..
[09:51] <rizzuh> iszak: oh, haven't tried that yet.
[09:51] <corinth> Hey room. Just installed a clean copy of Natty. I seem to have no sound...and whenever I try to change the volume, it hangs on "Waiting for Sound System..." Help?
[09:51] <Sonja> is there a 101 of configuring this new left bar thingy?
[09:51] <incorrect1> once you tweak unity its create, my desktop those huge sidebar icons are so fugly unless you shrink them down
[09:51] <rizzuh> iszak: Linux support for multiple monitors has been flaky at best.
[09:51] <iszak> rizzuh, I disagree, I have had good experience with gnome.
[09:52] <Sonja> yeah unity lol
[09:52] <jatt> Sonja: it is not easily configurable
[09:52] <iszak> I have used ubuntu on dual and tri screens with no issues
[09:52] <rizzuh> I've had plenty bad with just two, let alone 3. On both AMD and NVIDIA.
[09:52] <ouss999> for me i'm using 10.04 and i will not switch to unity until 12.04 is out sorry for my english
[09:52] <iszak> rizzuh, oh yeah same here with Catalyst Control centre, but hardly linux's fault.
[09:52] <bencc> anyone managed to install natty in vbox?
[09:52] <rizzuh> iszak: even on NVIDIA.
[09:52] <incorrect1> ouss999, probably a good idea
[09:52] <bencc> I'm getting a black screen after installing guest additions
[09:52] <rizzuh> iszak: though it's mostly those companies' fault.
[09:52] <iszak> exactly.
[09:53] <incorrect1> ouss999, 11.10 should show unity being much more mature
[09:53] <eigba_> incorrect1,  Do you like unity at all? Im not sure if i do or not
[09:53] <crims0n> What are everyone's thoughts on unity?
[09:53] <ilon> oh crap..
[09:53] <SuperLag> Hmm... not sure I like Unity. It will sure take some getting used to.
[09:53] <iszak> the only good thing for me that came from 11.04 is compiz grids and refreshed versions.
[09:53] <rizzuh> Good move from old interface.
[09:53] <ilon> just upgraded, unity is.... different.
[09:53] <incorrect1> eigba_, i like the amount of screen real estate i get back
[09:53] <thodoros> problem with unity on net-book....
[09:53] <rizzuh> And finally an easy app search like on Vista/7.
[09:53] <sanderd17_> bencc: yes, followed this instructions: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/12/how-to-test-ubuntu-1104-with-unity-in.html
[09:53] <incorrect1> i like the sidebar now i've tweaked it
[09:53] <rizzuh> Start -> typing
[09:53] <jatt> eigba: -> https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/648180
[09:53] <jatt>
[09:53] <eigba_> Unity looks ok I guess, just not sure if I like it
[09:53] <ouss999> unity is good but it will need some time to be mature
[09:54] <crims0n> is Unity gnome based?
[09:54] <zvacet> eigba_:  same here
[09:54] <SuperLag> jatt: haha, that's funny!
[09:54] <corinth> I have no sound. Altering the sound hangs a message: "Waiting for Sound System"...please help.
[09:54] <iszak> I would choose unity for netboots/laptops but definitely not my desktop and I hate that they're going to remove gnome  (easily installed tho)
[09:54] <DrManhattan> wheres the settings, preferences, administration, etc?
[09:54] <ilon> where did my taskbar go?! :<<
[09:54] <incorrect1> ilon, its on the left hand side
[09:54] <eigba_> iszak, I asked the same thing. I had to use the damn search feature
[09:54] <ilon> incorrect1: no, thats a launcherbar :(
[09:54] <eigba_> (
[09:54] <bencc> sanderd17_: I did but getting a black screen
[09:55] <Toek> ive donwloaded the linuxmint (http://www.linuxmint.com/edition.php?id=80) ISO and trying to make a bootable usb with startup disk creator. but the iso wont stick when i choose it any ideas?
[09:55] <incorrect1> ilon, all your tasks should be there
[09:55] <DrManhattan> hardly anything is there
[09:55] <zvacet> incorrect1:  how do you do it link if you have any please
[09:55] <ilon> incorrect1: so they should, but its more of a "programbar" than a taskbar
[09:55] <sanderd17_> bencc: you said you installed the guest addidtions? they dont work with unity yet
[09:55] <incorrect1> zvacet, do what customise the sidebar?
[09:56] <crims0n> so unity is not at all based on gnome?
[09:56] <iszak> Future version of Ubuntu: Gubuntu? Ubuntu for unity, Gubuntu for Gnome?
[09:56] <bencc> sanderd17_: I've installed virtualbox-ose-guest-dkms virtualbox-ose-guest-utils virtualbox-ose-guest-x11
[09:56] <DrManhattan> wheres the settings, preferences, administration, etc?
[09:56] <MJBrune> i cant get my Realteck alc272x to work with the mic, anuone?
[09:56] <jatt> crims0n: no, it is a totally new desktop environment
[09:56] <ouss999> what is the best irc client
[09:56] <incorrect1> ilon, well to me it encompasses all the same functionality, list of apps and their status
[09:56] <eigba_> Ive already farted out 2 butt turds trying to figure out if i like unity or not
[09:56] <zvacet> incorrect1:  yes I just started t ouse it so I don't know much about unity
[09:56] <jatt> crims0n: now there is gnome, kde, xfce and unity
[09:56] <incorrect1> oh wait you can't close them from the sidebar
[09:56] <incorrect1> my mistake
[09:56] <ilon> accessing setting seems to be a mess now that they arent grouped under a settingsmenu any longer.
[09:56] <ilon> incorrect1: how can i customize it?
[09:56] <Diverdude> in bash, i have variable $i, how do i concatenate it with a c in a command? so that i can do myprogram $i ['c' $i]     so if i has the value  'myfile.png'  it would be myprogram myfile.png cmyfile.png   ?
[09:56] <sanderd17_> bencc: I did use the oracle version of VB, not the OSE version
[09:57] <crims0n> ouss999 I like irssi, if you are not afraid of the console
[09:57] <Sonja> unity is pretty, but not exactly practical
[09:57] <eigba_> ilon, what I did was use the search feature to find settings then pulled it over to the lauchbar. probally not the most productive way though
[09:57] <ouss999> i will give it a try
[09:57] <eigba_> Sonja, Agreed
[09:57] <rizzuh> But seriously, can we get some configuration options for the notifications? The 10 second timeout is FAR too long, especially for IMs. And it doesn't show multiple notifications either.
[09:57] <ilon> incorrect1: problem is that since i usally have alot o windows open, the old taskbar was rather nice for me to switch between windows
[09:57] <bencc> sanderd17_: I tried both the oracle iso guest additions and ose guest additions from apt but still getting a black screen
[09:57] <incorrect1> ilon, same here
[09:57] <Sik> OK, so I tried both reinstalling the graphics driver and running dpkg off the recovery menu, either way 11.04 still won't boot properly >_< Sometimes it hangs after the login screen, sometimes it outright kicks me into a text mode terminal :/
[09:57] <zvacet> Sonja:  I'm not used to big icons
[09:58] <sanderd17_> bencc: sorry, can't help you further
[09:58] <bencc> sanderd17_: thanks
[09:58] <ilon> eigba_: what do you mean by "settings"? since ubuntu dosnt have a unified way of handeling settings..
[09:58] <eigba_> I wish they would of went with gnome 3.
[09:58] <incorrect1> to customise the sidebar you install the 'compizconfig-settings-manager' then go to the unity settings
[09:58] <iszak> Must say, a lot of back lash towards unity.. hopefully the next version will be better e.g. you can arrange icons, position the bar.
[09:58] <ilon> incorrect1: i know the concept from OS X, but it feels half done :(
[09:58] <incorrect1> you also want to turn off the 'back light' damn its so ugly with all those colours
[09:58] <ojii> is there a way to move the unity bar from the left to the right?
[09:59] <zvacet> incorrect1:  and without compiz
[09:59] <incorrect1> ilon, i agree,
[09:59] <bashelina> zvacet, im using classic,  either natty got more bloated or ubuntu discarded some drivers ??
[09:59] <jatt> ojii: no
[09:59] <incorrect1> zvacet, you are using unity 2d?
[09:59] <ilon> incorrect1: guess i have to switch to something else as usual :(
[09:59] <Sonja> i'm trying to customize/optimize the Unity bar ... i don't need the workspace switcher
[09:59] <incorrect1> i do not know why unity was pushed out so early
[09:59] <eigba_> well there are several desktop managers most or very old, maybe this unity can progress?
[09:59] <eigba_> are*
[09:59] <knick> Hi guys - Just downloaded and burned ubuntu 11.04 - Tried it on 2 different Lenovo 3000 N200 notebooks but on both it won't start
[09:59] <knick> I get a mount error and get thrown into busybox
[10:00] <ilon> incorrect1: yeah, seems too early, shouldve came as optional for another few months
[10:00] <incorrect1> ilon, i bet in a week i will get irritated and go back to gnome2 or find a unity ppa
[10:00] <zvacet> incorrect1:  well,I don't know and I can not check because I'm not on ubuntu right now
[10:00] <pisahmet> hi
[10:00] <ojii> jatt, that's pretty bad... I have a 4 screen (two notebooks) setup, and now I have the bar in the middle on the right pair.... and it's hard to activate it since i use synergy and the mouse just moves to the left pair...
[10:00] <Diverdude> where is gs installed in ubuntu?
[10:00] <ilon> incorrect1: i'll probably just switch back to XFCE / FFWM again
[10:00] <incorrect1> my biggest irritation so far is the 2x2 virtual desktop
[10:01] <zvacet> bashelina:  I can be both I don't know
[10:01] <jatt> ojii: you can use gnome, choose it from the login window
[10:01] <incorrect1> i am used to gnome2 1x4 arrangement
[10:01] <om26er> incorrect1, try in ccsm
[10:01] <incorrect1> ilon, 11.10 will see it mature
[10:01] <ojii> jatt, but other than that I like unity :(
[10:01] <ilon> incorrect1: yeah, i can only imagine how bad that would be on my workstation at home with 3x2 physical monitors
[10:01] <incorrect1> om26er, i've already done all i want with ccsm
[10:01] <Sonja> i always used 1x1  :)
[10:01] <om26er> Sonja, ;)
[10:02] <marie> knick:  I am  not aware much updates these days, is ubunt 11.04 desktop version is available ?
[10:02] <ilon> oh well, gonna switch WM, brb
[10:02] <tomasz> marie yes
[10:02] <knick> marie: Yes it is, it was released yesterday.
[10:02] <Hoyt> possible to remove unity totally and switch back to old interfaces ?
[10:02] <jatt> yes
[10:02] <Sonja> hoyt i'm considering that too
[10:02] <tomasz> marie when you log to ubuntu you change desktop or netbook
[10:02] <corinth> I have no sound. Altering the sound hangs a message: "Waiting for Sound System"...please help.
[10:02] <Hoyt> unity is really bad for me
[10:03] <rzx237> can I run wget through tor proxy?
[10:03] <crims0n> meh... considering moving to arch
[10:03] <iszak> rzx237, check the manual page
[10:03] <pisahmet> i have upgraded my maverick to 11.04, but i have a big problem. it doesn't start with new kernel (2.6.38), it looks like a xorg problem. but it works well with old kernel (2.6.35) pc specs >> amd athlon x2 5200+, asus m2a-vm, ocz 2 gb ddr2 800 mhz ram and palit sonic gts 450

[10:06] <zelhar> Hello. I started an upgrade and it is now on the "getting new package" stage. Is it safe to cancel the upgrade because the download speed is too slow and I want to find a better server ?
[10:06] <ilon> unity still have to mature some before i would consider to use it
[10:07] <ouss999> ilon, i agree
[10:07] <corinth> zelhar, Yes
[10:07] <jatt> zelhar: I think it is safe while it's downloading packages
[10:07] <jatt> zelhar: but once it starts to install/configure if you abort it can get messy
[10:07] <ouss999> jatt, i agree
[10:08] <zelhar> I see
[10:08] <ilon> ouss999: or maybe ubuntu needs to mature.. still no unified place for settings :(
[10:08] <ibqn> is 11.04 lts?
[10:08] <zelhar> well then I guess I am gonna try this
[10:08] <ouss999> ibqn, no
[10:08] <vox> ok, how do i remove unity and go back to the standard desktop?
[10:08] <genupulas> ! Encryption
[10:09] <Sterist> is there a command to empty the swap contents back into physical ram?
[10:09] <azatoth_work> is it possible to open multiple terminals in natty?
[10:09] <ilon> vox: just choose "classic ubuntu" from the login
[10:09] <DrManhattan> you know, I dont think im happy at all with this gui layout
[10:09] <vox> ilon: orad
[10:09] <DrManhattan> there's no easy way to get to the things I like

[10:10] <DrManhattan> especially system preferences and the such
[10:10] <vox> DrManhattan: it'd be great on a tablet
[10:10] <jatt> you can switch back to classic gnome
[10:10] <ilon> jatt: just choose "classic ubuntu" from the login

[10:12] <DrManhattan> how do I change the login type if I have the system set to log in automatically

[10:17] <ilon> vox: sorry, forgot to say you have to click your name in the list first.
[10:18] <Sik> I updated to 11.04 using the updater and it won't boot properly now. Sometimes it (or the X Server?) hangs after the login screen, sometimes it outright kicks me into the terminal. I can only boot using safe mode in the recovery kernel :/ Help?
[10:18] <vox> ilon: all good
[10:19] <Asad2005> Can someone help me upgrade, i am getting Error authenticating tzdata and tzdata-java

[10:19] <Phylock> anyone know of a good guide to unity?? how to start using it?? is i possible to customize it??

[10:20] <vox> it just doesnt suit my needs
[10:20] <Phylock> :)
[10:20] <Tetsuo55> hello, how do i enable the weather info next to the clock in unity???

[10:21] <ilon> vox: sure, if your on a tablet / phone, then it probably is nice
[10:22] <incorrect1> i love some of the great wm theme designs, i love the fact that someone thought it would be a great idea to but a tab in the bottom right to cover up part of the app
[10:22] <Psychobudgie> yi`zhi, you can't as far as I'm aware
[10:22] <incorrect1> so useful hiding firebug from me

[10:23] <Tetsuo55> jatt: :(((((
[10:23] <Asad2005> Can someone help me upgrade, i am getting Error authenticating tzdata and tzdata-java
[10:23] <jatt> Tetsuo55: I know. canonical claims nobody uses applets :(
[10:24] <ilon> incorrect1: irony, worthless on the internet since -90s
[10:24] <thatcode> Hi. I've just upgraded to 11.04. I have a multi-monitor set up. The hardware seems to think my right hand monitor is the primary (it's on VGA, the left hand is on DVI). This is causing problems when I boot with both monitors. The Application bar appears on the left side of the right monitor, which really screws things up, my graphics go on my right monitor, and I don't get any bars to launch programs or even shut down.
[10:24] <ddddddddddd> a question
[10:24] <ddddddddddd> i need reinstall, should i take 11.04 or 10.04
[10:24] <thatcode> Any ideas how to get it to put the bar in the correct place?
[10:25] <jatt> thatcode: you can't the bar position is not configurable in unity
[10:25] <Tetsuo55> jatt:  thats insande, the built-in weather is one of the best things about the ubuntu default clock
[10:25] <incorrect1> ilon, i don't have any milk for my coffee this morning
[10:25] <ddddddddddd> a question
[10:25] <ddddddddddd> i need reinstall, should i take 11.04 or 10.04
[10:25] <jatt> Tetsuo55: I agree I use that applet too
[10:25] <KNUBBIG> good morning everyone :)
[10:25] <swordz> jatt, So basically, I can't use my second screen?
[10:25] <swordz> I don't believe that
[10:25] <jatt> swordz: you can switch back to the classical interface
[10:25] <Phylock> thatcode: same setup, same problem here :d
[10:25] <ChristianAdamski> Hi, 11.04 Gnome2: Nautilus is opening my ftp-Bookmarks with Firefox, despite me changing the url-handler to nautilus and rebooting?
[10:26] <jatt> swordz: it's true there is no way to configure the bar position in unity
[10:26] <ilon> incorrect1: you can take some of mine, my coffe allmost came in return this morning :(
[10:26] <KNUBBIG> you can use two displays with displays?
[10:26] <swordz> jatt, I want the bar on the left
[10:26] <KNUBBIG> I do it
[10:26] <swordz> I just want Ubuntu to pick the other screen
[10:26] <swordz> That's a lower level than Unity
[10:26] <knick> swordz: use xrandr
[10:27] <swordz> It's X that's getting this wrong, not Unity (imo)
[10:27] <KNUBBIG> oh I'm not rly awoken, I type crap. I meant you can use it with Unity :)
[10:27] <paddy_> I have an i7 processor which is not loaded much at all during disk writes but my 3-disk raid-5 array write speed is 30mb's whereas its read is 2oomb's
[10:27] <yi`zhi> ok i got an interesting problem. i use the windows key (Super L) as a shortcut for terminal. it also happens to be the shortcut for narwhal's dash. i tried changing the shortcut for narwhal dash to CTRL+SuperL but then terminal doesn't pop up anymore. when i hit SuperL, BOTH dash and terminal pop up.
[10:27] <Tetsuo55> jatt: did we lose the battery too?
[10:28] <ddddddddddd> yesit was an example
[10:28] <ddddddddddd> but ccpd dont it
[10:28] <ddddddddddd> i need reinstall, should i take 11.04 or 10.04
[10:28] <knick> ddddddddddd: best to stay up to date
[10:28] <ddddddddddd> ok
[10:28] <jatt> Tetsuo55: I think they still have it
[10:28] <knick> lol
[10:29] <jatt> Tetsuo55: but things like the system monitor applet are gone
[10:29] <_ruben> paddy_: that's a common issue with raid5
[10:29] <paddy_> _ruben even with a fast processor?
[10:29] <_ruben> paddy_: yes, the disks are the limiting factor
[10:30] <quick_nick> ddddddddddd: i have both and prefer 10.04 over 11.04 right now.  been having bug problems with 11.04.  my biggest issue is shutdown problems were introduced with the upgrade on an ati video card machine
[10:30] <paddy_> _ruben how so, is it their seek time?
[10:30] <greentea> new ubuntu good?
[10:30] <paddy_> greentea: FANTASTIC
[10:30] <knick> doesnt boot for me
[10:30] <yi`zhi> it's okay. minus zeitgeist
[10:31] <knick> I get mount errors when I try to start the live cd
[10:31] <bangLUCE> hi. how can I make a non-root program open port 80 ?
[10:31] <paddy_> oh you must disable twinview before uppgrading if you are using it
[10:31] <knick> bangLUCE: use iptables to forward
[10:31] <knick> Though that iptables command must be run as root
[10:31] <_ruben> paddy_: with raid5 over 3 disks, the read actions are nicely spread over all 3 disks, the writes however results writes on 2 or even 3 disks simultaneously: not much performance gain over a single disk
[10:31] <Guest90444> HI, can I upgrade from 10 to 11 from an ISO?
[10:31] <paddy_> bangLUCE: if you do not have root permissions you cant
[10:32] <yi`zhi> so... since i can't change the shortcut key for terminal in control center > keyboard shortcuts, how do i do it using the terminal?
[10:32] <knick> bangLUCE: iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port <otherport>
[10:32] <mbrochh> what is the name of that fancy new desktop that comes with 11.04?
[10:32] <mbrochh> is it unity?
[10:32] <lupzz> is wayland supposed to be adopted by ubuntu 11.10?
[10:32] <paddy_> _ruben what can i do increase the speed?
[10:32] <_ruben> paddy_: more disks ;)
[10:32] <jatt> mbrochh: yes, unity
[10:33] <paddy_> _ruben, so if i add another disk to the raid 5 array it will be faster on the writes?
[10:33] <_ruben> paddy_: though write performance will never be really great with raid5, if you want both read and write performance, go for raid10
[10:33] <mbrochh> does anybody know if it is possible to enjoy unity when running ubuntu on a virtualbox?
[10:33] <mbrochh> i can't seem to be able to activate it
[10:33] <bangLUCE> knick: thanks. and how can I remove that rule, when I want?
[10:33] <DrManhattan> how do I change the login type if I have the system set to log in automatically?
[10:34] <paddy_> mbrochh: i have tried that for hours and could not get it to work
[10:34] <mbrochh> paddy_, damn
[10:34] <DrManhattan> Im trying to switch to classic gnome
[10:34] <knick> bangLUCE: change -A PRE.. to -D PRE..
[10:34] <Psychobudgie> mbrochh, I'm having trouble enjoying it full stop
[10:34] <_ruben> paddy_: it also highly depends on your io patterns
[10:34] <paddy_> Psychobudgie: whats not to like?
[10:34] <Maddogm> mbrochh, must be using virtualbox 4.0.6
[10:35] <bangLUCE> knick:  iptables -t nat -D PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port <otherport> ?
[10:35] <knick> bangLUCE: yup
[10:35] <_ruben> paddy_: the real performance gains with raid5 are when using a hardware raid controller with a battery backed write chache
[10:35] <_ruben> cache
[10:35] <mbrochh> Maddogm, i am using latest virtualbox 4.0.6 - any special settings to do to get it working?
[10:35] <mfraz74> Upgraded my netbook to 11.04 this week and now whenever I use rsync to sync my files over a wireless connection, the connection keeps dropping
[10:35] <lupzz> anyone knows if wayland is supposed to be adopted by ubuntu 11.10?
[10:35] <_ruben> paddy_: or use SSDs ;)
[10:35] <paddy_> _ruben i have a ssd can i use that as  a cache,  how do i use a cache?
[10:36] <petey> mbrochh, I had to reinstall the 4.0.6 guest additions to get unity to work and enable 3D acceleration in the settings
[10:36] <gare> DrManhattan:  the easiest way I found to switch from 11.04 to classic gnome is to install kubuntu-desktop, and select kdm as the default .  This gives options of different desktops ...
[10:36] <DrManhattan> thats ridiculous, there's got to be an easier way
[10:36] <_ruben> paddy_: only highend hardware raid controllers can use ssds as cache (and you'd need an enterprise class ssd for that as well), zfs can use ssds as cache as well though
[10:37] <gare> well, please let me know ..
[10:37] <paddy_> _ruben: what about lvm
[10:37] <_ruben> paddy_: wont make a difference afaik
[10:37] <gare> what happens when you remove default desktop file from /x11 ?
[10:38] <_ruben> paddy_: when write performance is needed, one usually just doesnt use raid5 :)
[10:38] <Maddogm> mbrochh, what petey said, plus you may need to adjust the memory quantities (check video especially)
[10:38] <paddy_> what is the best way to use a ssd as a raid 5 cache?
[10:38] <mbrochh> Maddogm, working on it...
[10:38] <mbrochh> Maddogm, it worked! great!
[10:38] <paddy_> _ruben: do you think i should buy an other disk and switch to raid10?
[10:38] <josefrichter> guys, tried to update Ubuntu under VirtualBox and now getting error: environment block too small - what does that mean please?
[10:38] <mbrochh> petey, Maddogm thanks for your help
[10:39] <debd> josefrichter: may be your virtual HDD size is too small for that
[10:39] <_ruben> paddy_: it all comes down to your needs/wishes/wallet basically, but raid10 is quite likely to give you much better write performance than raid5
[10:39] <petey> mbrochh, no probs - obviously unity doesn't work so well unless you fullscreen it unless you disable the auto-hide
[10:39] <gare> DrManhattan:  perhaps take a look at this file:  /etc/init/gdm.conf
[10:40] <paddy_> dualscreen unity works really well
[10:41] <Rehan> wow that was a complete disappointment. 11.04 install fails during install and freezes up about 5 minutes before being completely finished over and over again.
[10:41] <DrManhattan> thanks
[10:42] <beekor> I been reading a bit about app indicators and ppa's and shit.
[10:42] <thegoodcushion> Hi everyone.  My HP Deskjet 2000 works in Windows 7 and OS X perfectly.  But I can't get it to work on Ubuntu 10.04 32-bit.  Ubuntu thinks that it's printing, and the powerlight flashes as though the printer's thinking, but no output comes out.  Any ideas?
[10:42] <beekor> hmm.
[10:42] <beekor> it may take a long while, cushion.
[10:42] <beekor> like minutes.
[10:42] <thegoodcushion> beekor: even though it doesn't under OS X/Windows?
[10:42] <beekor> i get that sometimes printing pdfs.
[10:43] <beekor> yeah.
[10:43] <thegoodcushion> okay... I'll test it again and give it a few minutes
[10:43] <beekor> if it's flashing, you most likely have something coming to the printer eventually.
[10:47] <Vustom> -.-'
[10:47] <bencc> can I use unity with 2d?
[10:47] <bin_bash> Hello. I can't get the internal mic working. 11.04 on MBP 8,1 running xfce
[10:47] <mtlife> hey how can i install unity on an 11.04 box without gnome installed previously? I tried apt-get install unity, which worked fine downloaded a few packages but no unity (only a desktop no menu or launcher bar)
[10:47] <Soothsayer> my dual monitors are not being detected
[10:47] <Rehan> bencc: nope, it requires compiz, which requires 3D acceleration
[10:47] <Soothsayer> I have an XFX 9600 GT
[10:47] <paddy_> bencc yes
[10:47] <Soothsayer> and once I installed ubuntu, it gave me the drivers prompt.. and I installed the driver from there.
[10:48] <Soothsayer> It's got the resolution right, but I don't see the second monitor being detected
[10:48] <paddy_> bencc there is a package that lets you
[10:48] <bencc> paddy_:  how? I have problems with 3d when natty is in vbox?
[10:48] <Feyisayo1> I want to upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04. Can I do that If I have the ISO of 11.04 already downloaded?
[10:48] <bencc> paddy_:  what package?>
[10:48] <beekor> yeah, i have dual monitor issues too.
[10:48] <paddy_> bencc search for unity 2d in software center
[10:48] <Soothsayer> Feyisayo1: do you have 32bit or 64bit ?
[10:48] <bencc> paddy_: thanks. did you try it. does it work ok?
[10:49] <kandinski> I am having a weird interaction between irssi/gnome-terminal/natty: alt-w, which before upgrading to natty took me to the 12th irssi screen, on gnome terminal selects all text in the terminal, despite alt-w not being listed as a keyboard shortcut either on gnome-terminal or on gnome
[10:49] <Feyisayo1> I think it's 64-bit. I run AMD Athlon X2
[10:49] <BlouBlou> I am having a problem with ubuntu. It says I have NVidia GeForce 5500 FX drivers 'enabled', but they aren't being used. How to fix it? I want to use them, but there isn't any option to do that
[10:49] <kandinski> any idea what it can be?
[10:49] <Soothsayer> Feyisayo1: hmm no, then you have to use the internet update method. I've been trying it too.
[10:49] <paddy_> To everyone who has had difficulty using dual monitors! You must not use twinview, it will make compiz segfault
[10:49] <Soothsayer> paddy_: I'm not using anything.. just installed a fresh copy
[10:49] <haseeb> hi, i am having resolution problem after installing nvidia 7300GS drivers !! help plz
[10:49] <Feyisayo1> Soothsayer: I see
[10:50] <beekor> Any ideas how to get my monitors to detect themselves in the Monitors program ?
[10:50] <paddy_> Soothsayer: backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf then delete it, log in again
[10:50] <thegoodcushion> beekor: about my printing problems - I just tested it again.  When I send the thing to the printer, the power button goes fully bright like it just woke up.  It doesn't flash.  It's not printing.  But Ubuntu says "Idle - Finished page 1".  Any ideas?
[10:50] <beekor> one issue has been those becoming unknown.  and I'm not sure where they're located.
[10:50] <gare> DrManhattan: 1st aspect of your question -- To ask for password on login , go to Users , select your user, and then Change password.  Uncheck 'Don't ask for password on login'.
[10:51] <Vustom> So here's my problem, I have a 500GB HDD, and at first I only had Windows on it, then I installed Ubuntu 10.10 a few months ago and had both OS's side-by-side, and I used the Windows (HP) Recovery Manager today to reformat my HDD so I started clean with a fresh install of Windows and a 500GB HDD, and was planning on installing Ubuntu 11.4 side-by-side with Windows again, but when I reformatted it only reformatted the 250GB's of the W
[10:51] <Soothsayer> paddy_: I have an XFX 9600 GT.. it prompted me to install some NVIDIA accelerated graphics drivers (recommended)
[10:51] <Vustom> Windows and Ubuntu 11.4 on the other 250GB HDD, how do I fix this...?
[10:51] <Soothsayer> (version current)
[10:51] <beekor> hmmm, not sure cushion.  is it usb or parallel ?
[10:51] <thegoodcushion> beekor: USB
[10:51] <djdb> Hi! Ubuntu 11.04 server requires firmware for my hardware (qlogic FC, 10g broadcom ethernet). Where can I find it? Ubuntu installer wants CD with this files...
[10:51] <Soothsayer> "This driver is activated but not currently in use."
[10:51] <Soothsayer> why is it saying that?
[10:51] <DrManhattan> gare - thank you
[10:51] <paddy_> Soothsayer: install them, if it does not work do what i said befire
[10:52] <knick> Vustom: when you install Ubuntu on windows (dual boot) in the installer wizard you'll receive a slider to slide the sizes of the harddisks, there you can change the partition sizes
[10:52] <paddy_> Soothsayer: try and find an option to enable it
[10:52] <haseeb> UBUNTU 11.04 low resolution problem after installing nvidia drivers!!! fix please???
[10:52] <beekor> not sure, cushion.  Does it detect as the correct printer model ?
[10:52] <knick> Vustom: It's not really 'obvious' but it shows the windows and ubuntu partition in a window and you can slide it..
[10:52] <gare> glad could help
[10:52] <thegoodcushion> beekor: Is there some driver other than the default CUPS driver that comes with Ubuntu?  It's a HP Deskjet 2000.  Yes it detects as the right model
[10:52] <Vustom> knick, I tried that but only had the option of 250GB's, which is how much space I gave the Windows partion last time..
[10:52] <Soothsayer> paddy_: there is no such option
[10:52] <beekor> hmm, not that i know of, cushion.
[10:52] <paddy_> brb if anyone wants to mssg me pm me, do it doesnt get lost
[10:52] <Feyisayo1> I made a USB startup disk of 10.10 (32-bit) and gave to a friend to install with his Windows using WUBI. He says during the installation WUBI tried to download another ISO. He running Intel core 2 duo. Did I give the right thing?
[10:52] <knick> Vustom: Hmm, you might have partitioned it before? I'm not sure how to do that manually though
[10:53] <Vustom> It's like the reformat only reformatted the Windows partion and not the Ubuntu as well.
[10:53] <Vustom> I did...
[10:53] <mtlife> Hey i get "Xsession: unsupported number of arguments (2): falling back to default session" when i try and launch unity... it doesnt complain about lack of 3d though (i have nvidia drivers installed)

[10:53] <BlouBlou> I am having a problem with ubuntu. It says I have NVidia GeForce 5500 FX drivers 'enabled', but they aren't being used. How to fix it? I want to use them, but there isn't any option to do that
[10:53] <Soothsayer> paddy_: should I try installing the other one?
[10:54] <Soothsayer> and then do what you suggested?
[10:54] <bin_bash> Does anyone have any tips to get the internal microphone working on natty? I'm running xfce, which shouldn't matter. it worked fine in gnome
[10:54] <BlouBlou> people only answers easy questions, I don't know why are too many people here
[10:54] <haseeb> can anyone help with low resolution problem????? pleeease??
[10:54] <beekor> well, people only answer questions they know, i'd hope.
[10:54] <bin_bash> !ask | haseeb
[10:55] <mbrochh]2> hmm... when using ubuntu with virtualbox 4.0.6 and swtichting to the scaled mode (CTRL+C) i have a black bar at the bottom... the desktop doesnt seem to scale correctly and the mouse pointer seems to be at an invisible position a few pixels above the actual visible mouse cursor
[10:55] <samic> I'm using 11.04 but classic and my notification area doesn't show stardict and pidgin icon (it shows transmission and dropbox though!)
[10:55] <haseeb> i installed my 7300gs nvidia drivers and it gives very low resolution
[10:55] <BlouBlou> well, indeed, how to enable ' *not* install ' nvidia drivers?
[10:56] <BlouBlou> samic: Go to Pidgin config and change config in it, enable it to appear in gnome-bar
[10:56] <nyso> hi there
[10:56] <haseeb> bin_bash: heyy
[10:56] <samic> BlouBlou: I have checked it to show but nothing!
[10:57] <nyso> is there a way to setup the youtube plugin for totem to have always the highest quality?
[10:57] <petey> mbrochh, I had some similar problems I think when switching out of seamless mode, changing to the scale mode a few times seemed to sort it out
[10:57] <Soothsayer> why can't I just download the drivers from the official website?
[10:57] <Soothsayer> http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-amd64-270.41.06-driver.html
[10:57] <BlouBlou> nyso: Actually not

[10:58] <BlouBlou> Soothsayer: We are not nvidia-web admins, no idea
[10:58] <genupulas> totem is just a player nyso
[10:58] <jiltdil> any idea?
[10:58] <BlouBlou> jiltdil: Go to synaptic and search 'flash', install the -nonfree one
[10:58] <nyso> genupulas: well, but with the ability to play youtube videos per plugin
[10:58] <thomas8> jiltdil: search for Flash in about:plugins of your browser
[10:58] <jiltdil> ok
[10:59] <genupulas> jiltdil:  close the browser while installing
[10:59] <jiltdil> thanks
[10:59] <BlouBlou> genger: there is no need, just restart when installation finishes and done
[10:59] <nyso> other question, is there a way in empathy to hide chanserv messages?
[10:59] <BlouBlou> err
[10:59] <genger> hehe
[10:59] <BlouBlou> genupulas: ^
[11:00] <Black_Phantom> Hey, how much space do I need on a usb stick in order to install Ubuntu on it ?
[11:00] <DamienCassou1> it is me or is Unity still buggy?
[11:00] <bin_bash> unity is buggy.
[11:00] <genupulas> BlouBlou:  k cool
[11:00] <jiltdil> in synpatic i have seen already installed flash-plugib-installer
[11:00] <genupulas> BlouBlou:  yeah
[11:00] <BlouBlou> Black_Phantom: I _think_ 1GB at least
[11:00] <thomas8> bin_bash: true, it is very buggy I think
[11:00] <Black_Phantom> I have a 1 GB usb.
[11:00] <DamienCassou1> bin_bash: ok, thank you. What do people do? Do you use the classic version?
[11:01] <Black_Phantom> Will that work ?
[11:01] <deeeed> hi
[11:01] <deeeed> anybody is using ubuntu on macos ?
[11:01] <deeeed> I just want to make sure all the drivers are working fine
[11:01] <nyso> hm?
[11:01] <DamienCassou1> deeeed: what do you mean exactly?
[11:01] <bin_bash> DamienCassou1: No, I use xfce
[11:01] <nyso> you mean in a macbook?
[11:01] <deeeed> Damianz, my mistake I meant on macbookpro
[11:01] <deeeed> not mac os
[11:01] <iceroot> deeeed: macos is an os you cant run ubuntu on that
[11:02] <jodlajodla> hello, i have installed 11.04, and all things work, but sometimes mouse pointer lagg - is this unity bug or it's something wrong with ATI drivers?
[11:02] <bin_bash> deeeed: which mac?
[11:02] <iceroot> !mac | deeeed
[11:02] <DamienCassou> deeeed: I installed ubuntu on several mac books
[11:02] <bin_bash> deeeed: Which macbook pro
[11:02] <thomas8> Black_Phantom: you'll need 4 Go at least I think
[11:02] <deeeed> DamienCassou, did everything worked fine ?
[11:02] <Black_Phantom> hmm
[11:03] <DamienCassou> deeeed: 99% of the time I was satisfied
[11:03] <bin_bash> deeeed: I have to know exactly which macbook pro
[11:03] <deeeed> bin_bash, ModelIdentifier: MacBookPro 5,4
[11:03] <DamienCassou> deeeed: but sometimes I had to reboot due to a suspend/resume problem
[11:03] <bin_bash> deeeed: yeah it should work fine.
[11:03] <jodlajodla> hello, i have installed 11.04, and all things work, but sometimes mouse pointer lagg - is this unity bug or it's something wrong with ATI drivers?
[11:03] <deeeed> I just can't get used to mac os
[11:03] <Soothsayer> this driver is activated but not currently in use again!
[11:03] <Soothsayer> paddy_: there?
[11:04] <deeeed> I have been on linux for over a decade
[11:04] <DamienCassou> deeeed: also, it took me some time to configure the touchpad properly
[11:04] <ChristianAdamski> Hi, gnome-open ftp://test opens in FF4, ignoring url-handlers. Help!??
[11:04] <deeeed> miss my gnome too much
[11:04] <DamienCassou> deeeed: same thing here. No problem, this will work
[11:04] <DamienCassou> deeeed: try to follow the tutorial on community.ubuntu.com
[11:04] <deeeed> ok great I will try to install it then I just don't want to waste time if I have to switch back later
[11:05] <DamienCassou> deeeed: there are also some manipulations to do if you want to read/write your mac os x partition
[11:05] <DamienCassou> deeeed: and do *not* remove mac os x. Your hard disk drive is certainly big enough to have both
[11:05] <ruan> is it safe to remove ubuntu-desktop after installing kubuntu?

[11:05] <Soothsayer> how do I give natty admin privileges?
[11:05] <deeeed> I will just resize the original partition first
[11:05] <bin_bash> DamienCassou: He shouldn't have to do anything like that. I can read/write ti my os x partiton out of the box
[11:05] <Soothsayer> I want to delete a file in the /etc directory

[11:18] <KNUBBIG> Hey, any idea why ALT + TAB isn't working in Natty with Unity?
[11:18] <tuxx-> m|kael: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fstab
[11:18] <Soothsayer> why doesn't any forum, article, etc tell you to install the official driver from the website of the graphics card vendor?
[11:18] <daxroc> KNUBBIG: youll need to enable a switcher in compiz config found under settings
[11:19] <KNUBBIG> daxroc: ah okay, thanks
[11:19] <Soothsayer> ok

[11:20] <Soothsayer> what am I looking for twinview or ... ?
[11:21] <genupulas> qkit:  restore u r gnome panel
[11:21] <BlouBlou> qkit: Go to GDM menu (in where you select user) and click on your user. After that select 'classic-session' in a small box and log in
[11:21] <m|kael> tuxx-: the information at that link feels a bit overwhelming
[11:21] <daxroc> Soothsayer: its the piece of functionality that gives you dual(or more) monitor support, one big desktop
[11:21] <qkit> i cant go to any menu
[11:21] <qkit> is just a desktop with a couple of icon there
[11:22] <BlouBlou> qkit: I mean when you turn on your PC, you see a 'menu' to select the user, right?
[11:22] <qkit> even i try right click it only give me the option create folder, launcher,document
[11:22] <reena_> Bloublou:thnks,i am running a html5 file in my webkit's browser,but this is not opening video,is webkit support html5 or not?
[11:22] <qkit> nope...it only prompt me for password
[11:22] <m|kael> hello is there any tool in ubuntu wubi that let me permanently mount c: ?
[11:22] <BlouBlou> qkit: Yeah! That's what I am telling you for! Select there 'classic-session'
[11:23] <Feyisayo1> Soothsayer: Thanks. I may have to use the internet option. But there are power cuts where I am. Can the upgrade be paused and resumed?
[11:23] <BlouBlou> reena_: I don't know
[11:23] <KNUBBIG> In my login screen, the login window isn't skinned at all and looks pretty ancient. Anything I can do about that?
[11:23] <qkit> errr, it dont have any option there only has a box for me to keyin the password
[11:24] <BlouBlou> qkit: 1 sec
[11:24] <lolner> I'm trying to install 11.04 netboot. I keep getting 'plymouth command failed, disconnected from plymouth'. Does anyone know how I can fix this and make the system bootable?
[11:25] <jmvelasco> hi, I've update to 11.04 to check advances but I can't see system preferences nor system administration. I realized my graphics card work worst now, the rendering is pretty ugly since sometimes the old rendered is still displayed and dissapear little by little when I open other stuffs... any guide/hint to solve this ?¿ there are some high requirements for new Gnome ?¿
[11:25] <BlouBlou> qkit: I mean below
[11:25] <qkit> ok
[11:25] <[muttox]> sigh just restarted my machine after upgrading to 11.04 and the sound has stopped working
[11:25] <BlouBlou> qkit: when you're going to ype password, see a box below
[11:25] <[muttox]> card is detected and volumes are set on alsa, but nadda comes out
[11:26] <jmvelasco> please name my nick for comments so i can see the highlight, I can't be present at the chat right now since i am on work time
[11:26] <qkit> BlouBlou, it only show enter password to unlock your login keyring didnt have any option below
[11:26] <qkit> i believe this is due to the fact i using macubuntu, and when i doing the upgrade i forgot to uninstall it.
[11:27] <BlouBlou> qkit: Oh, I don't know there, can you try to use default GDM menu please?
[11:27] <qkit> hmm..possible for me to reinstall the whole xserver and gnome ?
[11:27] <jmvelasco> i repplay myself --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCrpy3fSGRY
[11:27] <BlouBlou> It has nothing to do with gnome, it's due to Unity
[11:27] <Vustom> I have 6 partitions..
[11:27] <Vustom> 1. HP 200 GB NTFS 2. 83 GB ext4 3. 3.2 GB Swa... 32 GB 4. Extended 289 GB (Pretty sure this is Ubuntu 10.4 parition) 5. 195 GB ext4 6. 8.3 GB Swap ... 8.3 GB 6. FACTORY_IMAGE 11GB NTFS
[11:27] <incorrect1> if you click an icon on the sidebar it should minimise it
[11:27] <jmvelasco> but i still would like to know if there are higher requirements fro grahpics
[11:27] <Vustom> 2 is partition type Linux, so is 3, 5 and 6, HP and FACTORY_IMAGE are both partition type HPFS/NTFS (0x07) and 4, is partition type Extended if this helps..
[11:28] <Vustom> I want to clean out all of the Linux ones, can someone help me?
[11:28] <Sterist> quick question, what's the BEST front-end to Qemu?
[11:28] <BlouBlou> qkit: It has nothing to do with gnome, it's due to Unity
[11:28] <Vustom> So theres only HP and FACTORY_IMAGE left.
[11:28] <futbolbuntu> damn i can't use ubuntu tweak either.
[11:28] <thegoodcushion> anyone got a deskjet working on Ubuntu?  I'm on Ubuntu 10.04 with a Deskjet 2000 plugged in via USB.  I can print from OS X and from Windows 7 on the exact same machine but Ubuntu doesn't want to print.  It acts as though it does print successfully but nothing comes out of the printer.  Any ideas?
[11:29] <qkit> ok, let me try remove all the desktop environment and reinstall it. See does it help or not
[11:29] <BlouBlou> qkit: Okay

[11:30] <Vustom> no help?
[11:30] <Sterist> quick question, what's the BEST front-end to Qemu?
[11:30] <BlouBlou> Vustom: Use 'gparted'
[11:30] <Stew_822> thegoodcushion: Then perhaps try and install your printer from that
[11:30] <BlouBlou> !gparted | Vustom
[11:30] <Vustom> what's it do?
[11:30] <phonex01> Guys when i add new panel to my desktop and add some shortcuts there, for the next boot i dont see them ! they simply gone ! why ?
[11:31] <futbolbuntu> Hi. Can someone help me? I can not run Ubuntu Software Center. When I run it from the terminal this is the output: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=9mFUcVU2

[11:33] <phonex01> hwo is tux ?
[11:33] <Artiom_Fiodorov> hey anyone knows how to map multi_key into super key, cuz my win keys shows up as multi_key
[11:33] <gartral> phonex01: the Linux Mascot!
[11:33] <BlouBlou> phonex01: Tux is Linux-penguin
[11:33] <BlouBlou> !tux > phonex01
[11:34] <Stew_822> My .desktop file that's playing up is: http://pastebin.com/cD3bAq5i   I don't know what's wrong. x-wallpaper-changer is an app I wrote, and the command I set Exec to works fine in the terminal (which is why I've set Terminal to true). Any ideas?
[11:34] <phonex01> Thanks for god not for tux !
[11:35] <jstoone> quit leaveing
[11:35] <Stew_822> Someone should make a version of tux that's half-God half-penguin :)
[11:36] <gartral> Stew_822: tux the God-guin!
[11:36] <phonex01> some respect here !
[11:36] <BlouBlou> !ot

[11:37] <Stew_822> Not God, the offtopic thing
[11:37] <Vustom> BlouBlou
[11:37] <drewby> I use Gnome in Ubuntu 9.10.  From the "Places" menu, if I click on any folder it opens rhythm box (Music Player) instead of a folder.
[11:37] <Vustom> Does gparted have an interface when I boot to it using a LiveCD?
[11:37] <Vustom> I'm not good with commands :/
[11:37] <BlouBlou> Vustom: Yes, it has
[11:37] <[muttox]> nice, i forced played a wav file with aplay a few times and now my sound is working again...
[11:37] <Vustom> :)
[11:37] <gartral> phonex01: you should pick up a copy of The Little Brown Handbook...
[11:37] <Vustom> Thanks!
[11:37] <[muttox]> dunno how that works but hooray
[11:37] <Stew_822> Okay, on topic, does anyone have any idea why my .desktop file isn't working?
[11:37] <drewby> How can I get it to open the file browser with that folder instead of rhythmbox?
[11:37] <BlouBlou> np
[11:38] <KebabBob> I just upgraded to 11.04... How do I get rid of the new program bar and restore the old look?
[11:38] <BlouBlou> drewby: What?
[11:38] <jpg> hi, is there a manpage or something to change the old ui back on 11.04 instead of this new Unity?
[11:38] <Stew_822> BlouBlou: I think in the menu he's clicking on a directory, and it's opening rythembox
[11:38] <drewby> BlouBlou: in the places menu if I click a folder it opens rhythmbox rather than nautilus
[11:38] <BlouBlou> KebabBob: Go to GDM menu and click on your user. After that select 'classic-session' in a box below
[11:38] <KNUBBIG> In my login screen, the login window isn't skinned at all and looks pretty ancient. Anything I can do about that?
[11:39] <genupulas> chnage at properties
[11:39] <drewby> really bizarre
[11:39] <[muttox]> jpg: im not running with an install but id assume you change your default session when you log in?
[11:39] <KebabBob> how do I access the gdm menu?
[11:39] <Adross> has there been any support in getting rt2870 chipset's support 802.11n on natty?
[11:39] <KebabBob> Do I have to log out first?
[11:40] <Cube``> hey, one laptop upgraded to 11.04 without problem, but the other one is not showing the "upgrade" button in the update manager! i have enabled showing dist-upgrades in the settings :S
[11:40] <jpg> muttbox: thanks, going to try that when I boot next time, cheers :)
[11:40] <phonex01> why the shortcuts in my panel gone when i reboot ?
[11:40] <Stew_822> Can anyone point me in the direction of a forum where I might recieve some help with my .desktop file?
[11:40] <BlouBlou> KebabBob: Just restart computer, it's the place in which you type your password to log in. Click on you user, and change in a box below, from ubuntu to classic-ubuntu or classic-session
[11:40] <gartral> Cube``: on the troubled machine, have you done any kernel recompiling?
[11:40] <Cube``> gartral: no
[11:41] <mikebeecham> hi guys....can anyone tell me how to restore my 'home' icon back to the unity bar?
[11:41] <phonex01> i added new panel to the right and then i added some shortcuts but when i reboot they simply gone !
[11:41] <mikebeecham> cant find it
[11:41] <drewby> OH CRA! I don't use 9.10.  I use 10.10
[11:41] <drewby> sorry I don't know why I said that
[11:41] <Stew_822> Cube``: I think there's a command to upgrade your ubuntu version :)
[11:41] <BlouBlou> Cube``: Go to software-sources >> updates tab >> and change LTS versions, instead of that, select normal-editions
[11:42] <Cube``> Stew_822: yes but i wanted to do it guiwise
[11:42] <Stew_822> Cube``: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/upgrade
[11:42] <Cube``> BlouBlou: yes its already normal editions :S
[11:42] <phonex01> Take my advice dont use ubuntu 11.04 now
[11:42] <BlouBlou> !upgrade | Maybe this will help you Cube``
[11:42] <drewby> anybody know why clicking a folder bookmark would initiate rhythmbox instead of nautilus?
[11:42] <koheleth> phonex01: why?
[11:42] <Cube``> phonex01: wtf why!?!?
[11:42] <gartral> Cube``: open a terminal and run sudo update-manager -c
[11:42] <Cube``> gartral: kk
[11:43] <BlouBlou> !wtf > Cube``
[11:43] <phonex01> ohhh why?
[11:43] <Soothsayer> ok, now I can't boot into ubuntu!
[11:43] <Cube``> phonex01: why?
[11:43] <Soothsayer> in recovery mode with lowgraphics selected.
[11:43] <phonex01> i saw a lot of bugs and a lot of problems
[11:43] <Soothsayer> how do I rollback the graphic drivers configurations I did ?
[11:43] <phonex01> starting from the software center and package manager
[11:43] <phonex01> also supporting drivers
[11:43] <Stew_822> drewby: I don't know, but maybe in default programs? Or try right-clicking a directory and select "open with" then choose natulis, the file browser
[11:44] <Cube``> gartral: nope, its the same situation, its not showing up
[11:44] <gartral> phonex01: what's true for you won't be true for everyone. the more people using ubuntu-bug in the new version, the faster these bugs will be fixed. please don't discourage others from trying the newest builds
[11:45] <Rziz> Hello, i am having a slight problem.. I am trying to do a 11.04 command line install with fb using the alternate cd, but apparently this option does no longer seem to be available in the F6 menu?
[11:45] <Soothsayer> I second what gartral said.
[11:45] <gartral> Cube``: that's very odd..
[11:45] <mikebeecham> How do I restore the home icon to my Unity panel?
[11:45] <KNUBBIG> In my login screen, the login window isn't skinned at all and looks pretty ancient. Anything I can do about that?
[11:45] <Rziz> Are there any parameters I could pass to accomplish the same?
[11:45] <jatt> mikebeecham: there is no way to add the home icon to the unity bar
[11:45] <mikebeecham> jatt, what is the icon at the very top with the home icon on it then
[11:45] <mikebeecham> ?
[11:45] <jatt> so you added it?
[11:46] <mikebeecham> nope...it was there on first install, but I removed all the clutter
[11:46] <mikebeecham> *sigh* it was a noob moment!
[11:46] <mikebeecham> jatt, it was a folder icon with a home on it
[11:46] <Rziz> this multi-iso concept of ubuntu seems quite pointless to me, anyway
[11:46] <gartral> !noob > mikebeecham
[11:47] <JohnFlux> Hi all
[11:47] <JohnFlux> If I want to update a package, what is needed exactly?
[11:47] <Vustom> BlouBlou, what happens If I need to unmount to delete the partitions
[11:47] <Vustom> how do I do that?
[11:47] <mikebeecham> gartral, thanks, but that was kind of unnecessary since I was referring to myself
[11:47] <mikebeecham> *sigh*
[11:47] <gartral> Rziz: what do you mean? it's not like UBuntu comes in 4-7 installationd disks.. like slackware does.
[11:47] <JohnFlux> sorry I mean, a package in ubuntu is quite old.  I want to make a newer version of the package, and get that into ubuntu
[11:48] <BlouBlou> Vustom: It means that you can't do anything in a partition if you're using them, so before doing anything, it's needed to unmount
[11:48] <gartral> mikebeecham: sorry.. I saw the word and had a "itchy trigger finger" moment!
[11:48] <dman777> anyone use aide?
[11:48] <drewby> Stew_822: thanks for the guess.  It doesn't look like folders have open_with menus though
[11:48] <Rziz> gatral: my main issue atm is no command-line install option seems to be available in the 11.04 alternate cd. I was wondering if i could pass any boot parameter to the installer to accomplish this
[11:48] <Vustom> But how do I unmount it when I'm in the gparted liveCD, or wont i need to worry about that?
[11:48] <lylanthia> hi there, is this an acceptable place for me to ask a quick question?
[11:48] <mikebeecham> gartral, no worries
[11:49] <BlouBlou> Vustom: Don't worry
[11:49] <Shaggy2> I need some help I just installed ubuntu 11.04 desktop, it's not booting
[11:49] <Vustom> :D
[11:49] <Vustom> thank you. :3
[11:49] <Rziz> or am I supposed to do a netinstall, which seems a different thing to me :p
[11:49] <BlouBlou> Vustom: np
[11:49] <Stew_822> lylanthia: I think so, but people tend to shoot you if you say something that's outta place :)
[11:49] <mikebeecham> som does anyone know how I can restore the 'home' folder icon back to my unity bar?
[11:49] <lylanthia> thanks ^.^
[11:50] <Stew_822> lylanthia: it's deadly in here ;)
[11:50] <Nunya> I auto upgraded to 11.04 today and the install has stalled out with: restarting services have possibly affected the upgrade: restarting spam assassin done, restarting cups...   then nothing
[11:50] <boomboorum> Hi guys, I have been playing around with compiz yesterday, and when I started ubuntu (11.04 with  gnome ) all the headers from all the windows disappered. What can it be?
[11:50] <lylanthia> I'm about to install the latest  x64 ubuntu and windows on a laptop. A volunteer organization I work with uses Ubuntu on all of their tech, so I want to get comfortable. If I install windows first, and then Ubuntu, will ubuntu's loader set up dual booting for me?
[11:51] <Stew_822> lylanthia: It did for me :)
[11:51] <lylanthia> excelent :D
[11:51] <lylanthia> thanks ^.^
[11:51] <Stew_822> lylanthia: buuut I don't know the technical answer, but I assume so :)
[11:51] <jaypur> hello, i'd like to know what are the problems of the 64 bit version of ubuntu nowadays....
[11:51] <Stew_822> no problems :)
[11:51] <jaypur> Stew_822, talking to me?
[11:51] <daxt> hi guys , i installed ubuntu 11.04 parallelly with my Lucid installation , but  grub does not show the new nutty menu option , how do i add it ?
[11:51] <gartral> boomboorum: hit alt-f2 and run metacity --replace
[11:51] <Stew_822> jaypue: No, sorry
[11:52] <lylanthia> Well, if I get good at this, I'll be back to contribute :D thanks all ^.^
[11:52] <Rziz> it doesn't seem obvious to me if there is there any way to do a command-line install of Ubuntu 11.04 without doing a netinstall
[11:52] <Rziz> as the command-line install option of the 11.04 alternate cd seems to be removed
[11:53] <BlouBlou> !alternate | Rziz
[11:53] <smw> Rziz, why do you want a cli install?
[11:53] <BlouBlou> Rziz: It isn't
[11:53] <daxt> hi guys , i installed ubuntu 11.04 parallelly with my Lucid installation , but  grub does not show the new nutty menu option , how do i add it ?
[11:53] <Rziz> smw: no need for DE for me, low memory system
[11:54] <gartral> Rziz: the alt-cd's main install feature is the cli install. they just renamed it. I agree though, it is mildly confusing.
[11:54] <KNUBBIG> In my login screen, the login window isn't skinned at all and looks pretty ancient. Anything I can do about that?
[11:54] <Rziz> gatral: thanks a lot :p its quite confusing indeed
[11:54] <Nunya> anyone have any idea why the upgrade to Natty has stalled for hours now with :  restarting services have possibly affected the upgrade: restarting spam assassin done, restarting cups...   then nothing?
[11:55] <jaypur> who has ubuntu 64bits version?
[11:55] <jrib> jaypur: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line)
[11:55] <genupulas> !grub
[11:55] <jaypur> jrib, i've already....
[11:56] <nick-nack> is cpu scaling working correctly in 11.04 x64?
[11:56] <NeoCicak> hi all.... does anyone know how to change the default unity shortcut? i dont want the super + f1 key to open the menu panel... I also dont want the super + t key to open the trash can.....:( i cant seem to find the way to change this behaviour anywhere
[11:56] <NeoCicak> jaypur: i'm using 64 bit
[11:56] <jaypur> NeoCicak, have you already faced some problems?
[11:56] <jrib> jaypur: if no one answered wait patiently and repeat after about 10 minutes.  Please don't ask "who is using ..." as it's not very productive
[11:56] <NeoCicak> jaypur: not yet.... but i've just upgraded about 3 hours ago
[11:56] <KNUBBIG> NeoCicak: should be possible with compizconfig-settings-manager
[11:57] <jaypur> NeoCicak, have you installed programs like gimp, inkscape?
[11:57] <m3t4lukas> Hey guys I have a problem with my Virtual Box OSE Installation on 11.04. Everytime I start the application I get logged off. I tried complete removal and reinstallation, but nothing helped...
[11:57] <Soothsayer> My graphics card has drivers on the official website.. it's a .run file, what do I do with it ?
[11:57] <jrib> jaypur: if you have a computer that can handle 64bits, there's no reason nowadays not to use 64bit
[11:57] <C_Classic> I have an external touchscreen-monitor connected to my notebook. When I use dual view the touchscreen doesn't work properly anymore. (It handles it as one huge screen) How can I configure Ubuntu that the touchscreen is only on my external monitor?
[11:57] <jrib> Soothsayer: what card?
[11:57] <NeoCicak> KNUBBIG: i assume you are referring to the 'commands' section there?
[11:58] <raylee> hi
[11:58] <jaypur> jrib, the 64 version used to have a lot of problems.... and nowadays? is it still facing it?
[11:58] <KNUBBIG> NeoCicak: for the terminal, yes, for unity settings you have too look at the ubuntu-unity plugin
[11:58] <KNUBBIG> trash can* not terminal, sorry
[11:58] <raylee> what is the new ubuntu like
[11:58] <jrib> jaypur: what problems are you referring to exactly?  I've been using 64bit for many years without issues now
[11:59] <NeoCicak> KNUBBIG : nope.... i bound super + t to run gnome-terminal... but it still opens the trash can :(
[11:59] <jaypur> jrib, i remember about, firefox, some programs and about video drivers and flash
[11:59] <NeoCicak> KNUBBIG: plugin? where can i get that?
[11:59] <nick-nack> my cpu scaling is not working. sudo modprobe -v powersave, for example, says "FATAL: Module powersave not found."
[11:59] <NeoCicak> jaypur: nope
[11:59] <lvh> Hello.
[11:59] <jrib> jaypur: those haven't been problems for a long time.  I don't recall video drivers ever being a problem and adobe provides a 64bit version of flash now
[11:59] <nick-nack> cpu is running at top speed constantly.
[12:00] <jaypur> hmm, so i'll get the 64 version oh yeah
[12:00] <jaypur> :D
[12:00] <KNUBBIG> NeoCicak: there should be an icon telling "Ubuntu Unity Plugin"
[12:00] <jrib> Soothsayer: do you know what video card you have?
[12:00] <KNUBBIG> NeoCicak: but give me a sec I'm trying to find sth
[12:00] <gartral> jrib: i still find the 64-bit flash is near useless..
[12:00] <jrib> gartral: in what sense?
[12:01] <[ND]> mikebeecham: if u have it in "most frequently used" on the "add application" button in the launcher, try to drag and drop it back to the launcher
[12:01] <lvh> The update to 11.04 appears to have made my system unbootable. It tells me the volume for / isn't available yet. (/ is /dev/sda3). It's mounted by UUID in /etc/fstab, but I would expect those UUIDs to not change.
[12:01] <gartral> jrib: the 64-bit flash runs at nearly 1/4 the speed/effeciency of the 32-bit varient on my i7/gtx260/8gig ram system..
[12:01] <mikebeecham> [ND], I dont
[12:01] <NeoCicak> KNUBBIG: i think unity has just crashed on me..
[12:02] <KNUBBIG> NeoCicak: then try relogging :)
[12:02] <gartral> jrib: but that's my experience with it. that won't hold true for everyone
[12:02] <lvh> Now, the confusing part is that it tells me /dev/sde3 is mounted in /, but I don't even *have* a /dev/sde
[12:02] <thegoodcushion> Quick poll: What do you think of Unity?  Thumbs up or down?
[12:02] <lvh> I have a /dev/sdd, that's about it.
[12:02] <jrib> gartral: ah, I haven't compared so that may be true.  But it works well enough for me
[12:02] <jrib> thegoodcushion: please don't take polls here

[12:05] <lightbricko> Does the flash plugin in 11.04 use the gpu when watching movies (youtube etc.)?
[12:05] <trijntje> is there somewhere I can check to find out if the update servers are still so congested? I dont want to update for 12 hours ;)
[12:07] <fcuk112> is there any way i can configure ctrl-alt-T to launch terminator rather than terminal?
[12:07] <chandru_in> Can the list of favorite folders in launcher be modified?
[12:07] <zvacet> sect114: try to disable partner repo during upgrade and enable it after
[12:07] <[ND]> mikebeecham: alt F2 : nautilus
[12:08] <Nunya> upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04 stalled out after it restarted services hours ago... cups restarting....... then nothing??
[12:08] <chandru_in> fcuk112, Disabled keyboard shortcut and create a new one with terminator as command
[12:08] <fcuk112> chandru_in, good idea thanks.
[12:09] <fcuk112> any quick fix for guake?  (reduce width to take launcher into account)
[12:09] <Shaggy2> has anyone had any problems with booting into ubuntu 11.04 after install?
[12:09] <Nunya> at least yours installed  Oo
[12:09] <NeoCicak> anyone know how to change the unity shortcut? (alt-f1 & super-t in particular)
[12:10] <Incarus6> Shaggy2, have you got a problem with booting into 11.04?
[12:10] <mikebeecham> [ND], thanks, but I cant seem to add a folder to the launcher
[12:10] <Incarus6> Nunya, have you issues with installing 11.04?
[12:10] <Nunya> yes
[12:10] <Nunya> Incarus6 yes
[12:10] <m_e> hey guys, how can i deaktivate the new look and feel thingy. (go back to the normal taskbar that requires less performance)
[12:10] <Nunya> it has stalled out
[12:10] <Incarus6> Nunya, can you paste /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt.log ?
[12:11] <sect114> zvacet:thanks! where do i disable partner repo?
[12:11] <chandru_in> m_e, Select ubuntu classic in login
[12:11] <Nunya> yes gimme sec
[12:11] <Shaggy2> yes it wasn't loading, would start to load (ie the purple screen) then would go to a black screen and nothing, I could type anything I wanted and it wouldn't do anything, I shoved the disk back in to boot to live to double check that it works on my system and loaded in with out a problem I am now running the install again
[12:11] <Shaggy2> maybe something went cookoo while installing
[12:12] <zvacet> sect114:  ubuntu software center>edit>repositories>uncheck partner and reload
[12:12] <KNUBBIG> sudo nano /usr/share/applications/nautilus-home.desktop
[12:12] <KNUBBIG> whoops
[12:12] <Incarus6> Shaggy2, did you try the rescue mode? could be a dependency error with plymouth
[12:12] <KNUBBIG> wrong tab
[12:12] <Incarus6> KNUBBIG, nevermind. that wont work here ;)
[12:12] <Shaggy2> will try that if it happens again thanks
[12:12] <KNUBBIG> Incarus6: I know :D but didn't want to spam the channel with crap :)
[12:12] <Shaggy2> I dumped windows 7 for this problem lol
[12:12] <Incarus6> KNUBBIG, sudo killall * :D
[12:13] <KNUBBIG> Incarus6: no! :D
[12:13] <Shaggy2> MICROSUCK BALLS
[12:13] <Nunya> Incarus6 http://pastebin.com/0WzjDVfc
[12:13] <Incarus6> Shaggy2, try to boot into the terminal via rescue mode and type "sudo apt-get -f install" and/or try "sudo aptitude", it can fix dependecy errors better
[12:13] <[ND]> mikebeecham: maybe bookmarking that folder will be a good workaround
[12:14] <sect114> zvacet: cheers! will try now
[12:14] <Incarus6> !language | Shaggy2
[12:14] <mikebeecham> [ND], or go back to classic ;)
[12:14] <[ND]> J;)
[12:14] <Shaggy2> ok sorry
[12:14] <idris> hello any problems so far along the narwhal route?
[12:15] <lvh> The update to 11.04 appears to have made my system unbootable. It tells me the volume for / isn't available yet. Exact error message: "The disk drive for / is not ready yet or not present". (/ is /dev/sda3). It's mounted by UUID in /etc/fstab, but I would expect those UUIDs to not change. Dropping into maintenance console allows me to manually mount the filesystems just fine.
[12:15] <mtlife> does unity require gdm?
[12:15] <m_e> chandru_in: thanks a lot
[12:15] <mtlife> because i use lxdm right now...

[12:15] <nishanth> i accidentally disabled unity plugin in compiz when i was trying to enable cube deformation plugin. now i dont have access to any of the icons. could someone help me?
[12:16] <jackster> something strange is happening under vmware fusion with Natty - when I log in it tells me my system can't run Unity and I get a normal Gnome desktop with the dark theme, then after about 40 seconds the bars along the top and bottom change from the black look to some sort of Windows 9x style appearance - anyone heard of this?
[12:16] <chandru_in> Is it possible to change the list of favorite folder in launcher (Super + F)?
[12:16] <Nunya> Incarus6 that command produced nothing
[12:16] <Incarus6> nUNYA, AND PASTE MAIN.LOG IN THE SAME DIR AND (IF NOT EMPTY) ALSO (apt-)term.log (sry, caps lock)
[12:17] <mtlife> does unity require gdm? Because im using lxdm right now.. and it doesnt work?
[12:17] <gartral> mtlife: yes
[12:17] <Incarus6> Nunya, sry, i meant "cat /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt.log | grep Broken"
[12:17] <mtlife> gartral: thx
[12:18] <Incarus6> gartral, sure? you can also boot gnome from kdm and kde from gdm?
[12:18] <lightbricko> lvh: I don't know for sure, but if it's a GRUB issue, check here how to get GRUB info with bootscript and then fix it: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1705279
[12:18] <MennaEssa> Guys my friends laptop went off during the upgrade to 11.4 , ofcourse it's no longer working it gives this :init: playmouth main process (61) killed by SEGV signal any idea if we can solve this or she has el reinstall ?
[12:19] <Nunya> Incarus6 http://pastebin.com/U0uWJ1Kt
[12:19] <gartral> Incarus6: you cannot start unity from kdm.
[12:19] <Incarus6> MennaEssa, you mean plymouth? try to boot in rescue mode and look if dependencies are correct
[12:20] <nishanth>  i accidentally disabled unity plugin in compiz when i was trying to enable cube deformation plugin. now i dont have access to any of the icons. could someone help me?
[12:20] <Nunya> Incarus6 it looks like I have quite the mess  :(
[12:20] <Nunya> zomg

[12:21] <Nunya> gimme sec
[12:22] <m|kael> hi, i just installed ubuntu on my netbook to try it out, everything seems to be working except the sound, does anyone know how to fix this?
[12:22] <Nunya> Incarus6 where is that?
[12:22] <Nunya> I dont see it
[12:22] <Incarus6> m|kael, yes, goto the sound settings and turn "mute" off and check if the right hardware is selected. didnt work for me either, because "hdmi output" was selected as default sound device
[12:23] <Incarus6> Nunya, the last one is a command
[12:23] <zvacet> Nunya:  run command and paste output
[12:23] <botcity> nishanth, can you not access ccsm?
[12:23] <Incarus6> Nunya, don't forget the main.log
[12:23] <nishanth> botcity no there are no more application icons to click on
[12:24] <KNUBBIG> nishanth: alt + f2 -> ccsm maybe?
[12:24] <nishanth> KNUBBIG tried that , did not work
[12:24] <m|kael> Incarus6: its set to internal sound now, analog stereo duplex
[12:25] <jpohl> i just upgraded to xubuntu/natty and now when i try to shutdown or restart it just takes me back to the login screen
[12:25] <KNUBBIG> nishanth: tried logging into classic ubuntu and there enabling the unity plugin in ccsm?
[12:25] <Nunya> Incarus6 http://pastebin.com/9DTm8vXp
[12:25] <Shaggy2> ok it has finished it's re install.... first boot has all the services listed with [OK] after them but one. Starting automatic crash report generation [fail]
[12:25] <Incarus6> m|kael, still not working?
[12:26] <zvacet> nishanth:  try to boot in ubuntu classic and disable visual effects and then again boot in unity
[12:26] <Shaggy2> and it just hangs there with that on the screen
[12:26] <m|kael> Incarus6: now it does, im puzzled lol, it didnt work 5 min ago :/
[12:26] <phoenixsampras> How to Downgrade??
[12:26] <botcity> ccsm could do with a reset switch lol
[12:27] <nishanth> zvacet wat do you mean by ubuntu classic?
[12:27] <Incarus6> m|kael, you'r welcome
[12:27] <KNUBBIG> botcity: I think it has under preferences | reset to defaults
[12:27] <KNUBBIG> but never tried it :)
[12:27] <ScottONanski> Hey, can you separate texts into chat bubble with Pidgin like you can with Empathy?
[12:28] <zvacet> nishanth:  it is gnome but on login screen under sessions it is called ubuntu classic
[12:28] <phoenixsampras> why 11.04 STILL HAS the hibernation and suspend bugs?
[12:28] <Incarus6> Nunya, are you sure the first output is the file /var/log-dist-upgrade/main.log ?
[12:28] <nishanth> zvazet ok let me try that and come back
[12:29] <osmosis_paul> Somebody know why the java channel is not in the channel list anymore?
[12:29] <Nunya> yes I think so?
[12:29] <KNUBBIG> osmosis_paul: you need to registered and join ##java afaik
[12:30] <cdavis> Anyone here know much about remmina?
[12:30] <Incarus6> Nunya, I don't think so, are you sure?
[12:30] <Shaggy2> how do I get to the rescue mode?
[12:30] <cdavis> It seems like the password hashes are not the same for all bookmarks now, which means all of my saved files are broken
[12:30] <Nunya> Im not sure of anything right now, please tell me what you need again
[12:30] <botcity> KNUBBIG, , preferences >> reset to defaults is there maybe that can help nishanth
[12:31] <Nunya> tired been on this all night
[12:31] <KNUBBIG> botcity: If he gets into ccsm, yes, maybe
[12:31] <Incarus6> Nunya, the output of "cat /var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log" / the content of that file
[12:31] <Nunya> ok
[12:32] <Shaggy2> Incarus: how do I get the Rescue mode to show?
[12:32] <boneseer> how do i repair a ubuntu installation from a live cd?

[12:32] <iceroot> boneseer: repair what exactly?
[12:32] <boneseer> my install. it won't boot.
[12:33] <Naphidia> anyone have experience with getting Intel 1030 Wireless-N working on ubuntu ?
[12:33] <iceroot> boneseer: errors?

[12:33] <qkit> strange i manage to get my ubuntu classic running
[12:33] <boneseer> i can't copy it. it was regarding a font or something. the colors of the text where in the style of ubuntu colors.
[12:33] <qkit> but how can i get unity to be running on ubuntu 11.04?
[12:33] <boneseer> can't use the terminal there either
[12:34] <erkan^> compiz-gnome doens't work )-:
[12:34] <botcity> KNUBBIG, sorry i thought he could get into it he just had no icons.. anyway let hope it works :-)
[12:34] <zvacet> qkit:  did you tried login screen>session>ubuntu
[12:34] <Incarus6> boneseer, you type "chroot /PATH" to be able to run commands in your old system
[12:34] <qkit> yes
[12:34] <Soothsayer> im so confused about setting up my graphics drivers
[12:34] <qkit> and it only show me an empty screen with an wall paper only
[12:35] <KNUBBIG> !chroot > boneseer
[12:35] <Soothsayer> how do I check if its enabled or not to its full capacity?
[12:35] <zvacet> qkit: maybe is graphic problem I'm not sure,but unity need 3d
[12:35] <lightbricko> How do I check if my flash player is GPU accelerated (as it should be)? The issue is that flash (youtube) videos don't run smoothly, however the laptop i ~5 years old. I run 11.04.
[12:35] <Naphidia> actually... can someone point me to a tutorial for compiling a NEW kernel downloaded from source from kernels.org i wana do it from scratch
[12:35] <dmartinng> Is it just me, or Unity doesn't appear when I boot up from a USB?
[12:36] <Hedgehog456> Finally, the Ubuntu servers are stable now :D
[12:36] <KNUBBIG> !kenrel > Naphidia
[12:36] <misse-> dmartinng: perhaps becasue you're gfx need drivers to be installed
[12:36] <KNUBBIG> !kernel > Naphidia
[12:36] <KNUBBIG> sorry
[12:36] <lightbricko> dmartinng: I haven't tried it from USB, but with the 11.04 liveCD (run from CD) I got unity as expected.
[12:36] <Naphidia> ty
[12:36] <dmartinng> hm. I tried it on two computers and both didn't show Unity
[12:37] <zvacet> Naphidia: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/automatically-compile-and-install-the-latest-kernel-using-kernelcheck-in-ubuntu.html
[12:37] <dmartinng> I tried logging out and I didn't see Unity as a choice...
[12:37] <qkit> hmm, aha the unity-2d panel is no installed
[12:37] <Incarus6> Nunya, strange. The issue seems to be everything from line 150 to line 170
[12:37] <qkit> let me try install it and see
[12:37] <Nunya> so what do you suggest?
[12:38] <T0aD> hi, need some suggestions following this problem: I have a backup box with 4 drives in raid5, and the partition in raid5 (/home) wont mount at start because the fs aint clean. I boot a ubuntu server cd on it, run fsck on it but it keeps segfaulting after reaching some inode
[12:38] <lightbricko> dmartinng: Are you using 11.04?
[12:38] <dmartinng> yes, just downloaded it couple of hours ago
[12:38] <Younder> My Ubuntu 11.4 install can't start the xmanager. It logs in and the fails to respond to aly key or mouse commands.I managed tu shut it down and start a xaw session. Any idea what has happened?
[12:38] <dmartinng> I even made sure of it, I checked the software version while running the OS itself
[12:38] <zikalify> unity 2d must be installed via ppa, if your graphics card isnt installed you will get classic ubuntu, open additional dirvers app and install your graphics card, reboot and pick unity from login screen and done
[12:38] <Incarus6> Nunya, it looks like it cannot recognize the free space ("<DistUpgradeCache.FreeSpace object at 0x3f762d0>" line 150)
[12:38] <Naphidia> god i hope this makes my wireless work, i have the feeling it maybe hte gpu switching on this fucking thing
[12:39] <andeeeuk> how can we turn on 3d in ubuntu 11.04
[12:39] <andeeeuk> ?
[12:39] <Nunya> Incarus6 so what shall I do?

[12:46] <vibhav> anybody with any problem???
[12:47] <Nunya> last output is cups restarting
[12:47] <Incarus6> Nunya, we can look if all dependeces matches or you could simply reconfigure every package. I hope that works
[12:47] <Shaggy2> vibhuv I just told you my problem
[12:47] <Incarus6> *dependencies
[12:47] <Nunya> reconf every package?
[12:47] <muneeb> zvacet, i upgraded then ubuntu showed error that it doesnt support hw accl then i installed but no luck
[12:47] <Nunya> how do I do that?
[12:47] <Incarus6> Shaggy2, so even grub isn't starting?
[12:47] <Vustom> I have deleted my Ubuntu partitions, and only have my Windows partition and my factory_image partition, I'm currently using Ubuntu from the LiveCD and I need to boot into /dev/sda2 but I can't do it with GRUB because it says "error: no partition.. grub rescue>"
[12:47] <Younder> My Ubuntu 11.4 install can't start the xmanager. It logs in and the fails to respond to any key or mouse commands.I managed tu shut it down and start a xaw session.
[12:48] <Shaggy2> it has to be starting I just don't get any options
[12:48] <Nunya> Incarus6 how would I reconf every package?

[12:48] <zvacet> muneeb:  sorry I don't know my ati works
[12:48] <Shaggy2> is there a button I can press to force grub to show
[12:48] <Incarus6> Nunya, let's first check the dependencies. just to be sure, you upgraded your computer and it suddenly closed the update window and you didn't restart since then, correct?
[12:48] <muneeb> zvacet, did install drivers?
[12:48] <zvacet> Shaggy2:  shift I think
[12:48] <Nunya> correct

[12:50] <Younder> Does 11.04 mess with .Xconfig ?
[12:51] <ojii> is there a way to flag folders as 'not-to-be-indexed/searchable' by the unity launcher?
[12:51] <Incarus6> Vustom, the problem is, that when you removed the linux partition you also removed the grub files in /boot/grub, which grub needs to start.
[12:51] <robin0800> Younder, there is no .Xconfig by default
[12:51] <Vustom> D:

Some times this is the last line of output before it stops, sometimes there are 2 lines about "clocksource" and "tcs" or something like that. When I reboot, I get the same error message ag
[12:52] <m_e> i wonder whats the best way to syncronize a folder between my windows and my ubuntu machine
[12:52] <webtrickster> can any one tell me how to remove unity from ubuntu 11.04
[12:52] <Soothsayer> webtrickster: you dont have to remove it
[12:53] <Incarus6> Nunya, and it stopped at this point?
[12:53] <Soothsayer> webtrickster: just pick classic during login
[12:53] <zvacet> mikael: middle muse button
[12:53] <Nunya> Incarus6 yes
[12:53] <robin0800> Younder, if you install proprietary nvidia drivers it will add it otherwise its all magic
[12:53] <Soothsayer> My boot is stuck at "Checking battery state...."
[12:53] <Soothsayer> and this is a desktop
[12:53] <webtrickster> i just want to install gnome 3
[12:53] <Soothsayer> the last thing I did was configured my second monitor in Nvidia Server X Settings dialog
[12:53] <mtlife> ok can anyone help me? Im out of ideas. I upgraded from lubuntu 10.10 too 11.04, everything seemed fine. Until I wanted to try out unity, so I installed gnome and unity and setup gdm as my login manager. But both gnome and unity are not working properly.
[12:53] <Soothsayer> wrote to config
[12:53] <botcity> m|kael, ctl + alt + t  for a terminal and again if you need two
 on which ubuntu version?

[12:53] <mikebeecham> hi guys...can anyone advise how to enable nvidia recommended drivers?
[12:53] <axle> webtrickster: bad idea, very bad idea... I tried it myself, it f*cked up my whole system :/
[12:54] <mikebeecham> I'm being told that I have activated them, but they're not in use
[12:54] <webtrickster> 11.04
[12:54] <muneeb> please someone check this error...  http://paste.ubuntu.com/600694/
[12:54] <robin0800> webtrickster, it will break unity
[12:54] <mtlife> With gnome I do get the panel, but no minimize/maximize buttons or draggable panels. On unity the panel seems to be completely missing
[12:54] <Psychobudgie> webtrickster, there is a guide on the official forums to adding the gnome 3 ppa if you wish to
[12:54] <mtlife> any ideas?
[12:54] <Younder> robin0800, I do have a proprietary NVidea driver, yes
 to write to me first write my name (vibhav) and then press enter
[12:54] <Incarus6> Vustom, there are several ways to do this, e.g. http://www.pronetworks.org/forums/how-to-restore-vista-boot-loader-t76643.html this isn't an ubuntu related question, you can find some solutions by googling "bootloader restore"
[12:54] <muneeb> something is broken but cant figure out what!! http://paste.ubuntu.com/600694/
[12:54] <webtrickster> vibav:okay
[12:54] <Psychobudgie> webtrickster, however be aware if you proceed with gnome 3 you cannot roll back to unity or gnome 2
[12:55] <Shaggy2> ok I have done the apt-get -f install, there was nothing to install
[12:55] <m|kael> botcity: is there a manual somewhere that sumarize all those shortcuts?
[12:55] <Incarus6> Nunya, interesting Font. Lets try "sudo stop cups"
[12:55] <robin0800> younder then you can run nvidia config to create it
[12:55] <Nunya> ok
[12:55] <Incarus6> Nunya, and paste output if errors appear
[12:55] <Bully> 有人嗎?

[12:55] <mikebeecham> the only option I have is to "remove" the driver...which I obviously dont want to do since it's recommended
