[00:00] <opticlove> melissa: W7 then ubuntu, and you should be able to
[00:00] <LogicallyDashing> Melissa: usually you have to install Windows first or else it clobbers the bootloader. And there's no reason not to run the different arch versions.
[00:00] <FrozenInferno> ok, another question: how do I get a bash script to open in a terminal on log in?
[00:00] <Ynodde> Melissa: Always windows first, then ubuntu will create the dual boot menu for you
[00:00] <milo_> Thanks Logicially Dashing by the way.
[00:00] <LogicallyDashing> yw
[00:00] <Melissa> LogicallyDashing: whats arch version?
[00:00] <opticlove> i bought an SSD, how would i transfer this OS configuration structure/files over?
[00:00] <Melissa> Ynodde: ok
[00:00] <LogicallyDashing> Melissa: architecture versions of operating systems. x86 x64
[00:00] <Melissa> i want to secure my data in ubuntu, in case laptop gets stolen.  Can Ubuntu encrypt partition or what else can I do?
[00:01] <LogicallyDashing> milo_ you can give multiple process ids to a single kill command
[00:01] <yumbo> Melissa, good chance it will work with wine (running the game in Ubuntu)
[00:01] <Melissa> LogicallyDashing: but I want to run ubuntu 64 bit.. but my W7 is 32 bit.. Can I dual boot them?
[00:01] <LogicallyDashing> Melissa: if you use the alternate install disc you can set up an encrypted volume
[00:01] <LogicallyDashing> Melissa: yes, certainly
[00:01] <Melissa> yumbo: it wont. i read about it and punkbuster dont work properly either
[00:01] <yumbo> http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=6637
[00:01] <yumbo> Here it says differently
[00:02] <Melissa> yumbo: battlefield 2142 needs punkbuster etc.
[00:02] <yumbo> Okay
[00:02] <Melissa> yumbo: the single player works, not online multiplayer apparently
[00:03] <Melissa> i wish I could run battlefield 2142 on Ubuntu:(
[00:03] <yumbo> Well, if you need punkbuster, it wont run in wine probably
[00:03] <Melissa> yumbo: notice that link you gave it says, "PunkBuster used to work ok in Wine 0.9.47, but in Wine 0.9.59 I keep getting kicked within seconds on connecting. This may have just been a fluke, but I will do some more testing to see if I can find a cause.
[00:03] <Melissa> "
[00:04] <yumbo> yeah, if you dont mind dualbooting windows, id say go for that
[00:04] <vsync_> and opticlove you could use dd
[00:04] <wilhart> does anyone have virtualbox with ubuntu 11.10
[00:04] <opticlove> dd?
[00:04] <Melissa> yumbo: MultiPlayer Mode is a Problem, cause Punkbuster kicks your from server, because the fingerprint of the wine appi's/dll's are not from Microsoft... Have contacted EvenBalance, the Maintainer of Punkbuster.. but seams that there is no chance to get Punkbuster work in wine... ;(..
[00:05] <Guest99702> alo
[00:05] <yumbo> Hmm, thats too bad
[00:05] <Melissa> yumbo: i thought I will use Ubuntu for everything.  and then boot up W7 if I want to play battlefield 2142.  So what you recommend how I go about doing this?
[00:05] <yumbo> first create a number of partitions with Gparted (using the ubuntu live cd)
[00:05] <Melissa> LogicallyDashing: if I dont grab the alternative CD, then someone can get my data on Ubuntu?
[00:06] <vsync_> Melissa well if you have the ubuntu installed already, just install win. and later on install bootloader back to the first partition
[00:06] <Melissa> yumbo: how many partitions do I need to create? and what sizes?  I have a 500GB hdd
[00:06] <yumbo> Melissa, Do you have anything installed already?
[00:06] <Melissa> yumbo: the W7 has already created D: for rescue
[00:06] <yumbo> a screenshot of Gparted would be nice
[00:06] <vsync_> or well, if you have other than /boot on sda1, then i suggest backing stuff up
[00:07] <vsync_> cause win installer overwrites it with it's own bootloader
[00:07] <Melissa> yumbo: W7 is on C: and D: is for restore, and E: contains HP tools and drivers.  So where and how can I install ubuntu?
[00:07] <yumbo> How big are c,d and e ?
[00:07] <Melissa> vsync_: so what if I need to restore W7 from D: by pressing F11?
[00:07] <LogicallyDashing> Melissa: Ubuntu doesn't know or care about drive letters. You'll need to make a new *partition* by shrinking the Windows one.
[00:07] <FrozenInferno> I have a script that I need to run in a terminal on boot up, can someone help me?
[00:07] <LogicallyDashing> Melissa: you can still do that but it will overwrite ubuntu.
[00:07] <vsync_> Melissa then you press F11, obviously
[00:08] <LogicallyDashing> probably?
[00:08] <urlin2u> Melissa, you probably have a boot partition as well 4 primaries.
[00:08] <Melissa> vsync_: but Grub destroys the F11 ability right?
[00:08] <vsync_> urlin2u boot+4 primaries not possible
[00:08] <vsync_> annnnyway
[00:08] <urlin2u> vsync_, 4 all together
[00:08] <Melissa> how many partitions will ubuntu need?  1 or 2 with swap partition?
[00:08] <yumbo> vsync_, using GPT disk you can have more than 4 primaries
[00:08] <vsync_> Melissa no
[00:09] <vsync_> yumbo yeah. it's just not that common yet
[00:09] <yumbo> Melissa, what are the sizes of C, D and E at the moment?
[00:09] <Melissa> vsync_: if I restore W7 from D: by pressong F11, then  it will destroy grub and ability to load Ubuntu! What I do then?
[00:09] <vsync_> Melissa then you re-install grub
[00:09] <Melissa> yumbo: about 11GB for D: and 10GB for E: and rest for C:.  total is 500GB
[00:10] <Melissa> vsync_: how?
[00:10] <yumbo> Melissa, then you boot a live-cd and reinstall grub
[00:10] <Melissa> ok
[00:10] <vsync_> boot livecd, chroot into your ubuntu install and do grub-install /dev/sda
[00:10] <vsync_> voilá
[00:10] <escott> Melissa, windows restores tend to overwrite everything including the partition table. likely ubuntu wouldn't exist after a windows restore
[00:10] <Melissa> yumbo: will the live CD give ability to install Grub and Grub will know to boot Ubuntu from F: drive?
[00:10] <Melissa> escott: ok
[00:10] <yumbo> yup (its not an F: drive though)
[00:10] <vsync_> grub automates it
[00:11] <milo_> Ok, I will look into mutliple ids to kill commands...
[00:11] <yumbo> Melissa, firstly you'll need to shrink the windows C: partition (something like 40~70gb)
[00:11] <Melissa> yumbo: maybe I should keep W7 on C:, delete D: and F: cause they only contain W7 restore image and tools, and then install Ubuntu on D:?
[00:11] <LogicallyDashing> Melissa: you should probably start referring to those drives by their numbers instead
[00:11] <yumbo> you cant install ubuntu on D: (thats not how partitions work ;))
[00:12] <LogicallyDashing> Melissa: the letters are a Windows specific thing
[00:12] <Melissa> yumbo: maybe I could use EaseUS todo to backup W7, then I wont need D: and E:, right?
[00:12] <yumbo> I would always recommend a separate data partition (like D:)
[00:12] <Melissa> LogicallyDashing: i dont know what the letters are for C: and D: and E: etc?
[00:12] <Melissa> sda1? sda2?
[00:12] <LogicallyDashing> Melissa: the numbers are usually 1 for recovery and 2 for Windows
[00:13] <LogicallyDashing> Melissa: depending on how you partition, Ubuntu will be on partition 3 or 5
[00:13] <Melissa> LogicallyDashing: so C: = sda1?  And D: = sda2? e: = sda3
[00:13] <vsync_> most likely c is first disk 2nd parittion, d first disk 3rd partition
[00:13] <Melissa> LogicallyDashing: eh? :P
[00:13] <LogicallyDashing> Melissa: it *really* depends on the order that the partitions appear on the disk, so all I can say is "probably"
[00:13] <Melissa> u lost me.. i dont get it :P  its ok, forget it lol
[00:13] <Melissa> :-)
[00:14] <LogicallyDashing> Melissa: think of partitions as really enormous files. they are in a particular order. so we give them numbers.
[00:14] <escott> Melissa, I think windows calls whatever it boots off of C: even if its sda17 so those letters don't mean much, but its probably C=sda1 etc
[00:14] <vsync_> escott nah
[00:15] <FrozenInferno> I'm trying to use crontab to run a script at startup and it's not working. using "@reboot sh /path/to/script.sh".  Melissa, how big is C? If it's big enough to house windows + bf2142, just delete partitions D and E.
[00:16] <scwizard> how can I turn on suexec on 10.4? Do I need to download a seperate package? Do I need to replace the apache I have?
[00:16] <[deXter]|> Hi all, just installed 11.10 on nvidia laptop. External monitor not being detected. Did not install the restricted drivers. Monitor was working fine in the live cd though. Any help?
[00:16] <asodiutoawueiow2> ADMIN
[00:16] <scwizard> I'd like to avoid the special ubuntu version of suexec with the config files if at all possible
[00:17] <[deXter]|> Oh actually it says nvidia drivers are installed...
[00:18] <Hobz> Hey, I'm having some trouble getting vbox to run on my ubuntu system.  I get the dmesg error  "vboxdrv: version magic '<IP_ADDRESS> SMP mod_unload ELAN ' should be '<IP_ADDRESS> SMP mod_unload ELAN '" Google doesn't seem to know, can anybody help me?
[00:18] <xcyclist> Where in heaven's name does Ubuntu hide the identifier that sets the editor for things like visudo?  This should be done simply, and instead I cannot find it for the life of me
[00:18] <vsync_> Melissa, so if C is big enough, and you deleted D+E, I suggest you install maybe root on sda3, and a separate home on sda5. Doesn't really matter that much. sda1 is occupied with the windows boot loader, and sda2 is your windows' C partition
[00:18] <vsync_> and you install ubuntu's boot on sda1
[00:19] <milo_> Ok, I tried closing down the programs running in lsof to umount my hard drive and it just restarted my comp
[00:19] <[deXter]|> Now the nvidia settings is showing my external monitor, but there's no option to activate it..
[00:19] <escott> xcyclist, for visudo it would be vi. what identifier are you expecting
[00:21] <FrozenInferno> No one can help me run a script on startup?
[00:23] <escott> xcyclist, thats really strange that visudo doesn't use vi. the man page explains that it uses /usr/bin/editor by default
[00:24] <wilhart> anyone has virtual box with kubuntu ?
[00:25] <wilhart> ubuntu
[00:25] <Hobz> I do, but it's not working wilhart
[00:25] <wilhart> Hobz: not working ?
[00:25] <wilhart> Hobz: i have graphic issues
[00:25] <Balthazar> wilhart: I do
[00:25] <xcyclist> escott:  Sorry, but it comes up in nano.
[00:25] <wilhart> Balthazar: i have graphic issues and effects wont work
[00:25] <Hobz> wilhart, I have version magic issues
[00:25] <xcyclist> escott:  This is using ubuntu 64bit
[00:26] <wilhart> emm
[00:26] <wilhart> Hobz: how do i enter the windowed mode ?
[00:26] <Balthazar> wilhart: Did you enable 3d when you set up the virtual machine?
[00:27] <wilhart> Balthazar: yep
[00:27] <wilhart> Balthazar: or after
[00:27] <wilhart> Balthazar: i'm jammed in a windows mode :P
[00:27] <escott> xcyclist, update-alternatives
[00:27] <wilhart> Balthazar: i'm just trying to get effects on ubuntu/k
[00:28] <ubuntu> y
[00:28] <Balthazar> wilhart: on ubuntu in virtualbox, or on base install
[00:28] <wilhart> Balthazar: virtual
[00:29] <wilhart> Balthazar: no
[00:29] <wilhart> Balthazar: i installed 11.10 .iso
[00:29] <Balthazar> wilhart: Just a guess, but did you increase video memory in settings?
[00:30] <wilhart> Balthazar: yes after second reboot or thirfd
[00:30] <wilhart> 128x now
[00:30] <wilhart> m
[00:31] <wilhart> Balthazar: and resolutions issues
[00:31] <wilhart> ok i give up
[00:31] <Balthazar> wilhart: sorry buddy, I'm out of ideas. I thought I read something about compiz not working well in virtualbox with 11.10, but I don't remember if that was during one of the alpha releases or not
[00:31] <FrozenInferno> No one can help me run a script on startup?
[00:31] <wilhart> Balthazar: ok i'll remove this program
[00:31] <wilhart> bye
[00:32] <Balthazar> FrozenInferno: What's up?
[00:32] <negueba> hey guys, how can i prevent empathy for saving passwords in msn?
[00:32] <FrozenInferno> Balthazar: I'm trying to get a terminal script to run at start up. I've already chmod +x'd it, but I don't know how to run it when the machine starts.
[00:33] <escott> FrozenInferno, put it in rc.local
[00:33] <BlueEagle> FrozenInferno: Do you want it to run at boot or at login?
[00:33] <vouth> Hi. When I run glxinfo, I get: "Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig". How can I manage what drivers are being used?
[00:34] <Stepnjump> Is there a way to quickly move emails to a thunderbird folder without having to use the mouse like in outlook express CTRL SHFT - V ???
[00:34] <FrozenInferno> escott: it doesn't run in rc.local. I tried "sh /path/to/script.sh" above "exit 0" and no dice.
[00:34] <FrozenInferno> BlueEagle: At log in.
[00:34] <Balthazar> FrozenInferno: Startup Applications Preferences and add path to script
[00:34] <escott> FrozenInferno, you shouldnt need the sh if you have the correct shebang in the file
[00:35] <FrozenInferno> escott: Well I tried "./path/to/script.sh" and "/path/to/script.sh" with no luck. it runs just fine when i manually run it from the terminal
[00:35] <BlueEagle> escott: You had the right answer for the question, but the question was not what he needed answered. :)
[00:35] <FrozenInferno> Balthazar: that doesn't work either.
[00:36] <escott> FrozenInferno, it would help to know more about this script and what it does
[00:36] <FrozenInferno> escott: it's a script which possesses the sole intention of running a ruby script
[00:37] <gardnan> .msg LotusRonin
[00:38] <FrozenInferno> escott: the contents are literally (after #!bin/bash): "cd /path/script" and then "ruby start.rb"
[00:40] <escott> BlueEagle, thanks. missed his login comment. FrozenInferno crond and rc.local wont work for a gui program, only command line programs. you might try a ruby shebang (that should be supported), but the more we know about this the more likely we are going to be able to help you
[00:43] <FrozenInferno> escott: Ok, in all honesty, it's a SiriProxy server. So it doesn't need a GUI, it's just supposed to work inside a terminal, and that's all I want when I login; is the terminal automatically coming up running the SiriProxy server. It's started with the ruby script named "start.rb", so I created a bash script called "siriproxy.sh" that has "sudo ruby /path/to/start.rb", and i've been trying to run that script.
[00:44] <escott> FrozenInferno, you might add a line before the ruby start.rb that says "echo starting `date` >> /some/file/somewhere" to see if it is starting
[00:44] <alsoeric> Just  wondering, has anyone tried making a flash drive act as cache or a swap device?
[00:44] <escott> alsoeric, its trivial to make it a swap device, just make the partition, and mkswap on it and add it to fstab
[00:45] <alsoeric> change the priority too?
[00:45] <AuroraX> guys i have a USB flash drive that is kinda broken in the file system, how can i repair it on ubuntu like i would do in windows? fsck.vfat /media/USBDRIVENAME/ doesnt work, he says its a directory
[00:45] <escott> FrozenInferno, you should not have sudo in scripts. it wont work there
[00:46] <alsoeric> escott,  can I remove the flash swap (on shutpown) and not need to change fstab?
[00:46] <FrozenInferno> escott: so what do I do? The server requires sudo privileges.
[00:46] <escott> alsoeric, sure if you dont want it to be permanent
[00:46] <Duker> How can I find what my video card is? Seem to be unable to play videos
[00:47] <escott> FrozenInferno, then put it in rc.local and it will be run as root
[00:47] <alsoeric> escott, I'm running a laptop and sometimes I runout of usb ports or just plan forget to plug it in
[00:48] <escott> Frozenball, you need to look at this ruby program and figure out if it needs anything special in the environment to run properly
[00:50] <FrozenInferno> escott: I tried taking the sudo out of the script and putting "/path/to/script.sh
[00:50] <FrozenInferno> no dice
[00:51] <FrozenInferno> should say, I put that in rc.local. The only thing the ruby script requires is for the current directory to be where the script is, but I included the required "cd /path/to/start.rb" in the bash script
[00:52] <pooltable> help how do i install more screen savers ?
[00:52] <escott> FrozenInferno, thats a very poorly written script. I would just fix the ruby script
[00:53] <FrozenInferno> escott: How would I go about doing that?
[00:53] <vouth> How can I manage what video drivers are being used in 10.10?
[00:54] <escott> FrozenInferno, let you know in a second
[00:55] <pooltable> i am useing xfce how to i lock the window ??
[00:55] <Tech-1> ctrl+alt+L
[00:55] <gaby> hello
[00:56] <gaby> how can i install google chrome on 11.10
[00:56] <hal9000ishere> gaby go to google and search chrome, download the deb file
[00:56] <gaby> i did  and i tried to install - but it gives me error
[00:57] <WilliamHerry> chromium works fine
[00:57] <WilliamHerry> you can use it
[00:57] <FrozenInferno> escott: what's the default current directory when rc.local executes?
[00:57] <gaby> how can i post the the output to you
[00:57] <Duker> Anyone know how to watching movies on ubuntu using intel hd graphics 3000?
[00:57] <atem> which one have vpn server installed in your machine????
[00:58] <WilliamHerry> can smplay work?
[00:58] <atem> i need to test vpn but i have no client and no server
[00:58] <atem> which one have one
[00:58] <atem> ?
[00:59] <gaby> any help
[00:59] <gaby> ?
[00:59] <WilliamHerry> network connections have an vpn client
[01:00] <EvilResistance> he's looking for a VPN to test with i think
[01:00] <atem> yes evilresistance
[01:00] <EvilResistance> WilliamHerry:  see my last message there ;P
[01:01] <atem> i have a localnetwork,but i dont have other machine to test
[01:01] <atem> someone have one?
[01:01] <StevenR_> gaby: use a pastebin
[01:01] <atem> i need to test my vpn
[01:01] <atem> well i dont know about vpn i am a novice, but i think i am done it well
[01:01] <escott> FrozenInferno, Dir.chdir(File.dirname(__FILE__))
[01:01] <atem> some one can helpme
[01:02] <StevenR_> !paste | gaby
[01:02] <atem> ?
[01:02] <StevenR_> atem: use a virtual machine
[01:02] <FrozenInferno> escott: well, i know it's not your fault, but that's entirely unhelpful... I didn't think a ruby script would be so hard to auto run, lol.
[01:03] <StevenR_> atem: create some virtual machines, and a virtual network, and use that.
[01:03] <atem> i can do that? i dont know how but ill try, some good tutorial?
[01:03] <escott> FrozenInferno, ruby has some pretty messed up bits to it. add a #!/usr/bin/ruby and that line to the file and you can directly execute it
[01:06] <edbian> quiet!
[01:06] <RecycleE> Does Mafia 2 work well on Ubuntu?
[01:07] <edbian> RecycleE, Is that a game>
[01:07] <edbian> ?
[01:07] <RecycleE> yeah
[01:07] <RecycleE> I'm not sure if it willl run
[01:07] <FrozenInferno> escott: do you mean add those lines to the ruby script?
[01:08] <edbian> RecycleE, looks like: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=11920
[01:08] <RecycleE> Is Unity bad?
[01:08] <edbian> RecycleE, that's a matter of opinion.  I use it, I don't hate it.
[01:08] <RecycleE> well I tried to run it
[01:08] <RecycleE> On Arch Linu
[01:08] <RecycleE> Linux
[01:08] <RecycleE> the demo didnt work
[01:08] <RecycleE> yet on Ubuntu
[01:08] <FloodBot1> RecycleE: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:08] <RecycleE> it ran fine
[01:09] <edbian> RecycleE, then it works?
[01:09] <edbian> RecycleE, what kind of question is this?
[01:09] <escott> FrozenInferno, yes. you might also want to add "require 'fileutils'\n FileUtils.touch("/path/to/some/file")" at the top to make sure it is running
[01:09] <RecycleE> well it ran
[01:09] <edbian> RecycleE, what are you asking me?
[01:09] <RecycleE> well why did it show a black screen on Arch
[01:09] <RecycleE> and it ran fine on Ubuntu
[01:09] <RecycleE> the Demo I am referring to
[01:10] <larstr> is there a kbd shortcut in xubuntu to lock the screen ala ctrl+alt+L in normal ubuntu?
[01:10] <edbian> RecycleE, I haven't the slightest idea
[01:10] <RecycleE> hmmm
[01:10] <RecycleE> weird..
[01:10] <RecycleE> Could it be the distro?
[01:10] <edbian> RecycleE, ummm
[01:10] <bagels> I work in radio, and want to record my own shows at home via our stream online.  Can someone point me to how to do this?
[01:11] <RecycleE> The wine version was the latest
[01:11] <edbian> RecycleE, arch != ubuntu
[01:11] <edbian> RecycleE, there are many many differences
[01:11] <RecycleE> yeah
[01:11] <RecycleE> well wine should run the same?
[01:11] <edbian> RecycleE, There are other factors (for example graphics drivers)
[01:11] <jrmy> is there a way to use my wireless card on xubuntu or do I have to reinstall with the alternate version (assuming that it comes with the wireless functionality)
[01:12] <edbian> jrmy, I bet I can get your card running without a re-install
[01:12] <RecycleE> oh
[01:12] <edbian> jrmy, what card do you have?  (do you know how to check?)
[01:12] <edbian> RecycleE, yep
[01:12] <RecycleE> well I used a NVIDIA ge force
[01:12] <jrmy> one sec
[01:13] <FrozenInferno> escott: I added the #! line to the top and the Dir line below that, then tried ./start.rb and no dice
[01:13] <jrmy> it was working before I had to reinstall again btw
[01:13] <edbian> RecycleE, If you want to get it to work on arch go to #archlinux and start figuring it out.
[01:13] <gaby> any help with google chrome ?
[01:13] <RecycleE> hmm
[01:13] <edbian> RecycleE, but don't ask in #ubuntu why something doesn't work on arch
[01:13] <RecycleE> well it launced
[01:13] <RecycleE> but the black screen showed
[01:13] <edbian> jrmy, ok, what card is this?
[01:13] <edbian> RecycleE, yeah, I get that.  That does not mean anything to me
[01:13] <jrmy> I got a new video card and I tried the drivers which in turn kept Xorg from loading and yeah... :/
[01:13] <edbian> gaby, what about it?
[01:13] <escott> FrozenInferno, what does no dice mean?
[01:13] <RecycleE> hmm
[01:14] <RecycleE> oh
[01:14] <edbian> jrmy, How is this related to the wifi card?
[01:14] <RecycleE> Ubuntu is nice though
[01:14] <RecycleE> still could be better
[01:14] <jrmy> how is Xorg not working not related to reinstalling thus causing my wireless to not work again?
[01:14] <gaby> edbian  - i tried to install the chrome but it gave me error
[01:14] <edbian> RecycleE, This is a support channel.  Please take chit-chat to #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:14] <gaby> can you tell me how to show you the output ?
[01:14] <RecycleE> ahh
[01:14] <RecycleE> sorry
[01:14] <FrozenInferno> escott: Means it didn't work, but I forgot the sudo. So now, lemme add it to rc.local and see if it runs at login
[01:14] <jrmy> anyways.. it's an asus pce-n10
[01:15] <edbian> gaby, copy / paste it here: paste.ubuntu.com  click paste and give me the link to the page it goes to
[01:15] <edbian> jrmy, what wifi card is it?
[01:15] <escott> FrozenInferno, rc.local is not run on login, but on startup
[01:15] <jrmy> "anyways.. it's an asus pce-n10"
[01:15] <FrozenInferno> escott: oh, ok. well i've been testing by rebooting every time, anyway.
[01:15] <edbian> jrmy, that is a computer, not a wifi card
[01:16] <jrmy> then where can I find the name on the box when that's all it says
[01:16] <jrmy> ?
[01:16] <edbian> jrmy, ha, my mistake
[01:16] <escott> FrozenInferno, the proper way to test this is not with a reboot but a sudo -i then try running with the full path to the command
[01:16] <edbian> you're right
[01:16] <jrmy> I do custom build anyways
[01:16] <edbian> jrmy, can you run sudo lspci -k and pastebin it for me?  paste.ubuntu.com
[01:16] <escott> FrozenInferno, when that works then try putting it in rc.local and rebooting
[01:17] <gaby> edbian : http://paste.ubuntu.com/786397/
[01:17] <f0gn0l0> hi all
[01:18] <edbian> gaby, sudo apt-get install libnss3-1d     (we might need to install several packages before this works)
[01:18] <f0gn0l0> how to install flash player 11 on chromium?
[01:18] <jrmy> edbian: http://paste2.org/p/1844346
[01:18] <gaby> edbian - ok guide me
[01:19] <edbian> gaby, run this: sudo apt-get install libnss3-1d and then try to install chrome again
[01:19] <edbian> jrmy, hang on
[01:19] <edbian> jrmy, your wifi card is the last thing in that list
[01:20] <frewo> will there be official packages of firefox/thunderbird 9 in 11.10? or only the ppa?
[01:20] <gaby> to install it again with the same command i did before ?   adbian ?
[01:20] <jrmy> edbian: right
[01:20] <FrozenInferno> escott: it errors out at line 4, which is the first "require" statement. Right now the statement is "require 'local/path/to/plugin'" I don't know ruby, but can I do "require '/full/path/to/plugin'"?
[01:21] <jrmy> edbian: does 11.x have this software for wireless preinstalled?
[01:21] <edbian> jrmy, IDK
[01:21] <f0gn0l0> a little help to install flash player 11 on chromium?
[01:22] <jrmy> I'm currently upgrading back to 11.04.. which was the last I had.. but the only cd I have is 10.04
[01:22] <edbian> jrmy, see the last post here: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-nettool/+question/132667
[01:22] <fabio> please someone help me install a wireless usbpen in ubuntu 11.10
[01:23] <escott> FrozenInferno, require is a variant of #include, so you could change it to full paths that would work
[01:23] <jrmy> edbian.. I do have a driver cd.. though I doubt it will work with linux
[01:23] <fabio> please someone help me install a wireless usbpen in ubuntu 11.10 please someone help me with this
[01:24] <jrmy> just got the card today.. just messed up my os today...
[01:24] <edbian> jrmy, It is for linux.  Look at the last post on the link I posted and follow those instructions
[01:24] <jrmy> no my install cd that came with my wireless card
[01:24] <escott> FrozenInferno, but that error is a symptom of the broken handling of relative paths. it should be corrected by the Dir.chdir() call
[01:24] <d1g1ta1> What is the best way to go if I want to (1) copy an entire volume to an external usb drive (2) have the copy automatically verified (3) have files that fail the verify automatically recopied and reverified until correct and (4) show completion status (x% complete)?
[01:25] <edbian> jrmy, the install CD is probably for linux.  Follow THE LINK
[01:25] <azmodeus> hi everybody...
[01:25] <iceroot> d1g1ta1: dd if you want the complete partition
[01:25] <fabio> please someone help me install a wireless usbpen in ubuntu 11.10 please someone help me with this
[01:25] <escott> d1g1ta1, why are you expecting failures?
[01:25] <edbian> azmodeus, hi
[01:25] <jrmy> yeah... but no I doubt asus would give linux support on there products
[01:25] <jrmy> their*
[01:26] <azmodeus> uhmmm... can somebody tell me what's the name of the italian channel? =)
[01:26] <f0gn0l0> a little help to install flash player 11 on chromium?
[01:26] <aeon-ltd> fabio: give some time (like 10 minutes) before asking again, a space of 2 minutes is too short - if someone knew they'd reply.
[01:26] <iceroot> !flash | f0gn0l0
[01:26] <edbian> !it
[01:26] <f0gn0l0> iceroot, thanks for the link
[01:27] <azmodeus> well... thanks a lot... if I'll be unable to find my answer there... I'll be back! ^^
[01:27] <azmodeus> byee...
[01:27] <FrozenInferno> escott: Ok, full paths fixed it, now it's erroring at a function call. this is ridiculous, I'm about to call it quits. the server works, this hassle doesn't seem worth an automatic start, lol.
[01:28] <amccloud> So i'm in a pretty dumb situation. I have an old machine here running Ubuntu. No monitor, and no mouse. I need to enable ssh, vnc, or any other form of remote access so I can control it.
[01:28] <amccloud> It does connect to my network, so thats a good sign...
[01:28] <escott> FrozenInferno, ruby tends to be rather more environment dependent than is sensible
[01:28] <amccloud> Is there a way I can enter an accessibility mode for say headphones?
[01:29] <azmodeus> seems they've not time for me... =(
[01:29] <escott> FrozenInferno, its probably a reflection of the code quality of the server you are running more than anything
[01:29] <d1g1ta1> escott: because I used cp to copy a subfolder tree and the first copy failed (usb) and the second worked, so I need something fault tolerant and self recovering because USB sucks
[01:29] <FrozenInferno> escott: it appears that way. I appreciate your time and effort, hopefully someone releases a more polished version later. I can hope, anyway.
[01:30] <fabio> please someone help me install a wireless usbpen in ubuntu 11.10 please someone help me with this, i tryed to install rt2800usb but the device not functioning
[01:30] <esin> will following these instructions http://www.pendrivelinux.com/installing-ubuntu-to-a-usb-hard-drive/ delete everything that is already on my external hard drive?
[01:30] <d1g1ta1> iceroot: not a terrible idea, I suppose I could use clonezilla... do you know if clonezilla does a verify?
[01:31] <iceroot> d1g1ta1: never used it so i dont know
[01:32] <susan> hello I've installed the gnome3 weather extension but all I have is the round arrow showing.  what did I not do correctly?
[01:33] <escott> d1g1ta1, use a VCS like git
[01:34] <f0gn0l0> thanks for the help, it worked
[01:34] <f0gn0l0> bye all
[01:34] <azmodeus> ok... can I try to ask for a directly question?

[01:37] <azmodeus> mmm... does anybody knows if there is an arch-bang or arch-linux channel useful like this one somewhere? i've got some problem with the wifi of my pc... the same kind of problem that's occured with an old installation of kubuntu...

[01:40] <escott> Hathadar, to use the proprietary nvidia driver i think you need to run some kind of configuration application to generate the xorg.conf
[01:40] <Hathadar> escott, can you point me in the right direction?
[01:42] <escott> Hathadar, the xorg.0.log suggests that the nvidia driver was loaded so you shouldn't need the nv driver. i would double check if you have an xorg.conf file in /etc/X11
[01:42] <barboza> anyone help
[01:43] <Hathadar> escott, /etc/X11 doe snot contain a xorg.conf
[01:43] <escott> !arch | azmodeus
[01:43] <Hathadar> How would I go about fixing this.
[01:43] <barboza> I can't install the Ubuntu SO
[01:44] <Hathadar> Disregard last.  Googling.
[01:44] <peepsalot> how can a file be unmodifyable by root?
[01:45] <escott> peepsalot, is the filesystem mounted read-only?
[01:45] <peepsalot> escott, no
[01:46] <Yoss> Hi all, i have a little problem with the password on ubuntu 10.04, for some reason i'm not being prompted for it like before (on stuff like package manger and sudo in the terminal )
[01:46] <Yoss> i have checked the sudoers file and it seems fine
[01:46] <Yoss> i'm not logged in as root either
[01:46] <peepsalot> escott, it's ~/.local/share/recently-used.xbel     i see errors all the time that it can't be modified
[01:46] <iceroot> peepsalot: with "chattr" you can disable modifications by root on a file
[01:47] <fabio> please someone help me install a wireless usbpen in ubuntu 11.10 please someone help me with this, i tryed to install rt2800usb but the device not functioning
[01:47] <Yoss> has anyone came across such a thing?
[01:47] <fabio> or someone that can explain me how this drivers modules function so i can fix this
[01:48] <slakcphil> hey all
[01:49] <peepsalot> iceroot, is there a way to list these attributes
[01:49] <fabio> hi slak
[01:49] <fabio> slakcphil u understand good how ubuntu drivers think function?
[01:49] <slakcphil> fabio, huh?
[01:50] <iceroot> peepsalot: lsattr
[01:50] <fabio> slakcphil: im having alot of dificulties in instaling a usb pen wireless card
[01:50] <fabio> slakcphil: maybe u an help me
[01:50] <slakcphil> yeah man shoot, what's up?
[01:51] <escott> Hathadar, rereading that log it looks like X started just fine, but since xterm is not installed it immediately closed. i dont think you have a problem
[01:51] <slakcphil> fabio, what type of chipset is it?
[01:51] <Hathadar> oh..
[01:51] <slakcphil> fabio, lsusb -v
[01:51] <Hathadar> maybe the problem is simpler than I thought.
[01:51] <fabio> slakchpil: is a wn727n tp-link
[01:51] <peepsalot> iceroot, awesome, it had immutable attribute, which i was able to clear as root
[01:52] <slakcphil> show me output in pastebin or somewhere
[01:52] <vouth>  Hi, I'm getting an error "compiz (core) - Fatal: Root visual is not a GL visual" when I try to start Compiz. What's happening here?
[01:52] <peepsalot> finally got rid of all those annoying messages
[01:52] <blackshirt> hello, can we ask something related python-apt here ?
[01:52] <slakcphil> fabio, ^^ of lsusb -v
[01:53] <escott> vouth, the drivers for you graphics card are not installed/working. you might try use jockey-gtk to enable the proprietary drivers
[01:53] <fabio> the computer im trying to install it dont have internet connection
[01:53] <Duker> Any ideas why I cant get video playback on 11.10, but flash videos and everything else works fine?
[01:53] <fabio> slakcphil: maybe u can tell me what to look in the command and i tell u
[01:53] <Duker> Using intel hd graphics 3000
[01:54] <escott> Duker, likely a problem with the xv protocol. you might test that with mplayer
[01:54] <Duker> escott: Yea, mplayer
[01:54] <Duker> How can I repair that protocol?
[01:54] <escott> Duker, try mplayer -vo x11 or mplayer -vo gl to test
[01:55] <Duker> Ok, thanks
[01:55] <fabio> but if i lsusb i get the device in bus 002 device004: Ralink tecnology
[01:56] <vouth> escott: jockey-gtk says it can't connect to the server.
[01:56] <slakcphil> fabio ok just do lsusb and tell me what chipset you have
[01:56] <Duker> escott: that returned 'the program 'mplayer' can be found in the following packages: * mplayer * mplayer2
[01:57] <Duker> Both commansd
[01:57] <Duker> commands*
[01:57] <vouth> escott: The exact error message was: "Downloading package indexes failed, please check your network status. Most drivers will not be available."
[01:57] <supermanintights> hey guys
[01:57] <escott> Duker, in that case you don't have mplayer installed. you could install it or perhaps some other tools will let you specify how to draw the video. I know you can test it with mplayer though
[01:57] <fabio> slakcphil: well i think is a wn727n inst tgis the chipset?
[01:58] <Duker> I'll install it, but I was getting the same error with VLC
[01:58] <escott> vouth, thats an apt error. check that your apt mirror /etc/apt/sources.list is up
[01:58] <supermanintights> i've used ubuntu several versions ago, and i'm thinking of coming back - but i'd like to get some open feedback?
[01:58] <supermanintights> i'm currently running a hackintosh and i really hate it
[01:58] <supermanintights> so i'm torn between win7 and ubuntu - i'm open to running both, but no idea what people recommend
[01:59] <slakcphil> fabio, what is the output of   `cat /etc/lsb-release`  ?
[01:59] <clear`> your in an ubuntu room, i would think we would recommend ubuntu....
[01:59] <Tux> supermanintights, asking in here means we recommend ubuntu obviously
[01:59] <Tux> Your best bet is #defocus, I guess
[02:00] <warfaren> what do you find so bad about hackintosh btw? i'm just curious
[02:00] <supermanintights> it feels limited
[02:00] <fabio> slakcphil: it says Bus 002 Device 004: ID 148f:5370 Ralink Tecnology, Corp.
[02:00] <fabio> slakcphil: the output is ubuntu 11.10
[02:00] <Tech-1> loosen your tights, manup, then go for ubuntu.
[02:00] <supermanintights> (and i get that you guys will say ubuntu - i was going to just see how the feeling is now, compared to how it used to be)
[02:00] <clear`> supermanintights: what software do you need daily?
[02:01] <Duker> escott: installed mplayer, still having the same problem - I can hear the audio of the video file, but my screen just flashes using both mplayer and VLC
[02:01] <ceed^> Hi, can anyone tell me if Dropbox runs well in Unity?
[02:01] <escott> Duker, how did you run mplayer?
[02:01] <warfaren> i've only been using ubuntu since august so only a few months now. i was a windows user before that. i will never go back :)
[02:01] <Tux> ceed^, i think so
[02:01] <vouth> escott: I ran sudo apt-get update and it produced the same error.
[02:01] <Tux> I've used Linux on and off for 4 years
[02:02] <Duker> escott: I double click the video file, or right click and select open with
[02:02] <vouth> escott: that is, jockey-gtk produced the same error when I ran it again.
[02:02] <Tux> I'm using Ubuntu right now
[02:02] <escott> Duker, open a terminal and type mplayer -vo x11 /path/to/your/video/file
[02:02] <warfaren> i was testing it out back in the day and thought it seemed cool but only when i installed it on my primary computer for real (not in a VM) i got hooked
[02:02] <supermanintights> my main concern - i need photoshop/dropbox/dreamweaver/vlc/office (currently using open office - prefer windows but meh)/internet - with flash/video support (had problems playing youtube smoothly before on ubuntu - do with osx as well)/skype/ps3 media centre
[02:02] <elliottsup> Hello
[02:02] <escott> vouth, (a) are you online (b) is the mirror listed in /etc/apt/sources.list working?
[02:03] <fabio> slakcphil: i tryed to install rt2800usb i think i have installed it but device not functioning
[02:03] <supermanintights> and also occasionally gaming but that's not my biggest priority - steam games (CSS, Football manager etc.)
[02:03] <warfaren> photoshop runs in wine, dropbox exists natively for linux, VLC is native too, open office aswell
[02:03] <monstaRtruck> hi
[02:03] <warfaren> about dreamewaver i don't know but i suppose it will run in wine
[02:03] <monstaRtruck> how come im getting boot error booting from usb
[02:03] <monstaRtruck> but from cd it works
[02:03] <clear`> dreamweaver and photoshop would be the only two problems, but you can run them on wine
[02:03] <somsip> supermanintights: some versions of photoshop may run under wine, but you might struggle with dreamweaver. Libre office is fine with office docs, though some PPT don't quite fit
[02:03] <Tux> supermanintights, (1) GIMP (2) dropbox will work (3) bluefish (4) vlc works (5) libreoffice is bundled (6) flash works smoothly under firefox for me
[02:03] <elliottsup> If i install Ubuntu on my Win7 Laptop, can i still boot Win7 when strating the laptop?
[02:03] <vouth> escott: (a) Yes (b) No clue
[02:04] <clear`> or you can setup virtualbox to run win
[02:04] <vouth> escott: How would I check (b)?
[02:04] <Tux> elliottsup, are you using Wubi?
[02:04] <elliottsup> What is Wubi?
[02:04] <escott> vouth, look at the file and put the http link there into your browser
[02:04] <slakcphil> fabio , what do you see in `/sbin/ifconfig -a`
[02:04] <slakcphil> what devices
[02:04] <Tux> elliottsup, are you booting from any sort of CD or DVD?
[02:05] <elliottsup> No
[02:05] <Tux> You are using Wubi most likely. The answer is yes.
[02:05] <supermanintights> so for my use/needs - definitely ubuntu over windows?  I'm new to terminal (although have used in past - sudo apt-get update being my main one :P), but i'm computer savvy enough to pick it up
[02:05] <Tux> supermanintights, yes.
[02:05] <fabio> slakcphil: it gives output
[02:05] <supermanintights> the only other thing is - i want to get into media editing - what's ubuntu's support for it like?
[02:05] <Duker> escott: nothing seems to be happening in the terminal, it was mplayer -vo x11 /path/to/file/arrested development - 01.avi   Would that normally work?
[02:05] <clear`> i rarely use terminal, i am still new to ubuntu also
[02:05] <fabio> slakcphil: it says link encap:Local loopback
[02:05] <elliottsup> so i can still get windows after installing Ubuntu?
[02:06] <slakcphil> fabio, of course, you see any wlan0 or ath0? or whatever?
[02:06] <clear`> elliottsup: you can setup grub to dual boot
[02:06] <Tux> supermanintights, fair, might need a windows vm for windows-only stuff
[02:06] <escott> Duker, since you have spaces in the filename it needs to be quoted or escaped try "/path/to/file/arrested development - 01.avi"
[02:06] <Tux> elliottsup, yes
[02:06] <supermanintights> i did love it before - my only reason for going away from windows was the issue with my wifi card - i'm hopeing that's fixed now
[02:06] <slakcphil> fabio do a `sudo ifconfig wlan0 up`
[02:06] <fabio> slakcphil: then shows inet addr:<IP_ADDRESS>
[02:06] <fabio> no
[02:06] <slakcphil> no what?
[02:06] <Tux> clear`, hes using wubi
[02:06] <fabio> says loopback runing
[02:06] <supermanintights> *going away from ubuntu i maen
[02:06] <fabio> no wlan0
[02:07] <slakcphil> right that is your local loopback device
[02:07] <Duker> escott: Holy Jesus, it works - how can I make double clicking a video file work?
[02:07] <vouth> escott: here's my /etc/apt/sources.list: http://pastebin.com/mU4tHQ2d The first link in the file, http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu , opens fine in the browser.
[02:08] <slakcphil> fabio, do a `ifconfig wlan0 up` and tell me what happens... if no error do a `ifconfig -a` and see if there is a wlan0 card there
[02:08] <warfaren> supermanintights: what wifi card were you using? most of the time it's just a question of sorting out the driver
[02:08] <fabio> when i search for wlan0 it says no such device
[02:08] <slakcphil> fabio, search?
[02:08] <EvilResistance> fabio:  how are you 'searching'?
[02:08] <supermanintights> so final questions (and really appreciate the insight and input - love the community here) - is it easy enough to "wine" gaming? Counterstrike Source/Football Manager (steam), and can you boost the sound loud (I have hearing impairment and like to really boost the sound - OSX won't let me do that) with media
[02:08] <fabio> slackcphill: in that comand ifconfig wlanup
[02:08] <Duker> Looks like i need ffmpeg libavcodec? Where might I find that
[02:08] <supermanintights> warfaren, i was using the same as now
[02:08] <fabio> it says error while geting interface
[02:08] <supermanintights> realtek something
[02:08] <fabio> no such device
[02:09] <supermanintights> there was a big problem on ubuntu with it
[02:09] <Tech-1> Duker:  sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
[02:09] <slakcphil> did you type        sudo /sbin/ifconfig wlan0 up
[02:09] <warfaren> well there's always ndiswrapper as a last resort which will let you use a windows driver
[02:09] <slakcphil> or what you typed in the chat?
[02:09] <supermanintights> long shot - any way of bringing up your wifi card name on OSX if OSX doesn't support your wifi card?
[02:09] <supermanintights> (long shot on many levels, i know)
[02:09] <warfaren> lspci ?
[02:09] <Tux> supermanintights, http://appdb.winehq.org is your destination to search for wine stufff
[02:09] <escott> Duker, does it work with -vo xv
[02:10] <escott> !restricted | Duker
[02:10] <fabio> slackcphil: now i did it with the sbin/ and no
[02:10] <fabio> says no such device
[02:10] <warfaren> supermanintights: try lspci in the OSX terminal
[02:11] <supermanintights> command not found
[02:11] <supermanintights> fml
[02:11] <supermanintights> i should write this down so i dont' need to keep remembering
[02:11] <warfaren> alright. well i guess it's nothing apple include then
[02:11] <EvilResistance> warfaren:  that's apple :p
[02:11] <warfaren> hehe
[02:11] <Duker> how can I get the mpg123 codec?
[02:11] <supermanintights> 9128se
[02:11] <Duker> same way?
[02:11] <supermanintights> rtl 9128se
[02:11] <supermanintights> something like that
[02:11] <warfaren> okay
[02:12] <clear`> i think thats the same card i have...
[02:12] <supermanintights> my laptop is a toshiba satellite a-500 if that helps
[02:12] <clear`> i have a l605
[02:12] <fabio> i have read this on the web now "#The WN727N only needs the rt2870sta driver. maybe i should not have instaled the rt2800usb
[02:12] <supermanintights> it's basically the only card that OSX DOESN'T support (trust my luck)
[02:12] <FrozenInferno> Can someone help me set up a VPN server? I've got pptpd installed and i've configured the local and remote ip addresses, configured the clients' names/passwords/etc, enabled ipv4 forwarding, but I still am unable to connect.
[02:12] <clear`> ubuntu 11.10 detected my card just fine, all other versions it sucked
[02:13] <warfaren> supermanintights: is that a laptop you're on?
[02:13] <supermanintights> yeah
[02:13] <fabio> slakcphil: i have read this on the web now "#The WN727N only needs the rt2870sta driver. maybe i should not have instaled the rt2800usb
[02:13] <supermanintights> a laptop that will die soon, as i'm pretty sure it overheats for fun, but yeah, a lappy
[02:13] <warfaren> oh fun
[02:14] <supermanintights> yeah
[02:14] <supermanintights> not much i can do about it
[02:14] <supermanintights> as it's just out of warranty
[02:14] <clear`> try ubuntu live cd
[02:14] <supermanintights> (i swear it's on purpose), but i'll live with it
[02:15] <fabio> slakcphil: u there
[02:15] <supermanintights> it worked fine on 10.10 but soon as i upgraded to 11.04 it went psycho on me
[02:15] <escott> vouth, odd. that looks normal. so apt-get update cannot find the index files
[02:15] <supermanintights> eventually had to move back to windows as i couldn't fix it
[02:15] <clear`> do a fresh install
[02:15] <Duker> I think I was missing the RestrictedFormats? Doesn't sound like an ideal format
[02:15] <supermanintights> is it easier to use the usb or cd to install ubuntu?
[02:16] <clear`> i use usb
[02:16] <vouth> escott: well, the apt-get update command seemed to work fine. It's only when I run jockey-gtk that I have the problem
[02:16] <monstaRtruck> why do i get "boot error"
[02:16] <supermanintights> also - what's the calendar support for the ical format like?  I run an apartments business and need to sync to calendars with a very regular update rate
[02:16] <monstaRtruck> fromusb
[02:16] <escott> supermanintights, usb is faster if it works, but cd is more consistent in working across machines (if you can burn a good one)
[02:16] <Anamika_> i need help
[02:17] <EvilResistance> !ask | Anamika_
[02:17] <fabio> slakcphil: u there please
[02:17] <EvilResistance> just ask here about your issue, don't just saay "I need help"
[02:17] <EvilResistance> :P
[02:17] <EvilResistance> Anamika_:  ^
[02:17] <supermanintights> that was one of the reasons i got sick of windows and moved to mac - easier support for it, as running so many different apps for similar things were putting me off
[02:17] <slakcphil> when you installed the rt2800usb, what did you do?
[02:17] <fabio> i need help with this usb pen wireless....
[02:18] <fabio> was someone here reiso he told me a command to install it
[02:18] <azmodeus> why could it be that the dash on ubuntu 11.10 goes crazy when I try to use it?
[02:18] <vouth> escott: Here's the output of sudo apt-get update: http://pastebin.com/K9Qstv2J
[02:18] <slakcphil> fabio, check the ouput of history
[02:18] <slakcphil> t
[02:19] <slakcphil> `history`
[02:19] <fabio> slakcphil: i dont have it anymore i tryed alot of stuff
[02:19] <supermanintights> also - what's the calendar support for the ical format like?  I run an apartments business and need to sync to calendars with a very regular update rate
[02:20] <escott> vouth, go to software-sources and make sure that the proprietary drivers are enabled ('restricted')
[02:20] <iiu7> What tools exists on Ubuntu to post on usenet nbz files?
[02:20] <fabio> slakcphil: im readin something about wicd can u tell me how?
[02:21] <vouth> escott: the box "Proprietary drivers for devices (restricted)" is checke
[02:21] <vouth> escott: um, that was supposed to be 'checked'
[02:22] <Hathadar> Can I get some help getting x server running.  Updated problem detailed at http://askubuntu.com/questions/90915/troubleshooting-x-server-ee-failed-to-load-module-nv-module-does-not-exist
[02:22] <escott> vouth, you could try reinstalling jockey maybe it is messed up. but first do a sudo apt-get upgrade just to make sure you are current
[02:22] <supermanintights> also - what's the calendar support for the ical format like?  I run an apartments business and need to sync to calendars with a very regular update rate?  pretty much the only thing i need to confirm before i make the switch :)
[02:22] <oneliner> so, after a nightmerish graphics ordeal, happens that 11.10 also has faulty realtek Ethernet support?
[02:23] <vouth> escott: the only things it wants to upgrade are chromium-browser, chromium-browser-l10n, and chromium-codecs-ffmpeg, none of which I want to update. So I had it take no action
[02:23] <vouth> escott: Is it vital that I upgrade them? I have the .debs for the version I like so I can always revert if necessary
[02:23] <fabio> slakcphil: does this helps u helping me :) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1340584
[02:24] <azmodeus> can somebody tell me why should it be possible? the dash that goes crazy... it seems like ubuntu 11.04 on my first installation... XD
[02:25] <escott> vouth, no those shouldn't matter. i would start jockey from the command line to see if it gives any more detailed error messages. there is also a jockey-text
[02:26] <Duker> Hmm, still cant seem to get anything to play in movie player or vlc, restrictedformats didnt seem to do the trick
[02:26] <escott> Duker, did it work with mplayer -vo xv?
[02:26] <supermanintights> sorry to keep asking - but it's important to me - what's the calendar support for the ical format like?  I run an apartments business and need to sync to calendars with a very regular update rate?  pretty much the only thing i need to confirm before i make the switch :)
[02:26] <nathan10> needing help with connecting my ibook G4 PPC to internet, wired or wireless
[02:27] <Duker> I did with mplayer -vo x11 but I was unable to full screen it, sait it was missing mpg123 codec, so I installed the restrictedformats to no avial
[02:27] <escott> Duker, and what about -vo xv?
[02:28] <nathan10> is there anyone here that has expirence with ubuntu on PPC macs?
[02:29] <xangua> !ppc | nathan10
[02:30] <amagee> hey, does anyone have any hints for setting up dual monitors with an NVidia card and xinerama in ubuntu 11.10?  I just upgraded and when I set up my monitors in nvidia-settings as I usually do, then restart, most windows don't open, some do but don't have title bars, and I can't click on anything and the system is entirely unusable.
[02:31] <_rb_> looking to install a lxmark printer driver. Options are:Debian based or RPM. Which should I use?
[02:31] <nathan10> ubottu | i got 8.04 installed, then upgraded to 10.04 from there, i've dug through the support documents on the ubuntu homepage and the forums, but everything i find there hasn't really helped.
[02:32] <nathan10> xangua | i got 8.04 installed, then upgraded to 10.04 from there, i've dug through the support documents on the ubuntu homepage and the forums, but everything i find there hasn't really helped.
[02:32] <Duker> escott: I got the message 'ff_codec_bmp_tags'has different size in shared object, consider relinking - then the screen flashed for a while and now it seems to think it is playing in the terminal, but no audio or anything
[02:33] <escott> Duker, because xv is not working.
[02:33] <Duker> Also my windows seem to be gone
[02:33] <Duker> As in I cant manage them
[02:33] <Duker> They are still there though
[02:33] <Duker> How do I fix xv?
[02:34] <escott> Duker, you can work around it for now by using gstreamer to set the output to x11 (no xv)
[02:35] <Duker> Will I be unable to just double click media files until then?
[02:36] <escott> Duker, change the output in gstreamer-properties to not use xv
[02:36] <Duker> escott: Thanks :D
[02:36] <Duker> Where can I find those properties? (sorry)
[02:37] <escott> Duker, in gstreamer-properties
[02:37] <amagee> like, so far the only "solutions" i've seen in forums are "use windows" and "use debian", neither of which are particularly palatable
[02:37] <Duker> putting 'gstreamer-properties' in the ubuntu search bar thing yeilds nothing
[02:38] <escott> Duker, gstreamer-properties can be run from the terminal
[02:39] <Duker> Ooh, my default output device is unsuported, could that be a problem
[02:39] <_rb_> this printer driver seems to require root password. Any options other than enabling root?
[02:39] <phix> hey gang!
[02:40] <phix> _rb_: It shouldn't require root for printing, only to install / change the driver
[02:40] <phix> _rb_: the user needs to be a member of lp or something like that in order to manage the print spool
[02:41] <Duker> using no xv hsa fixed the video problem, took my audio away though - I imagine thats also in gstreamer-properties
[02:41] <_rb_> phix driver installation poped a dialog box saying "this installation requires root...." typing my password does not work.
[02:41] <escott> _rb_, where did you get this driver from?
[02:42] <phix> _rb_: is the driver install a shell script?  you can modify it :)
[02:42] <_rb_> it is for a lexmark x4650 got it from lexmark.com
[02:43] <phix> And the generic postscript drivers dont work with it?
[02:44] <rmichael> Hello.  What controls the permissions on automounted volumes under /media?  I want to force the UID = 1000.  (As the fstab uid=X option would do.)  Thanks!
[02:44] <escott> rmichael, if you dont put it in fstab udisks should mount on behalf of users in the plugdev group
[02:45] <escott> _rb_, check here first http://www.openprinting.org/printers
[02:45] <_rb_> phix tried a generic printer and that did not work. Enabled root and driver seems to have installed.
[02:46] <rmichael> escott, it mounts.  But with the "wrong" UID.  I need to force it to 1000 (the filesystem is from another system which has me at 500).
[02:46] <escott> rmichael, if it is a unix fileystem then the uid of the files is in the filesystem you would have to chown the files
[02:47] <rmichael> escott, I should be able to force the change.  fstab options will do this.    I cannot select it or access it, but the only way I know how to get rid of it is to logout and login.   I can paste a screenshot if I have an URL to paste to.  What can I do to fix this so it never happens again?
[02:48] <escott> rmichael, the option would be the uid and gid options
[02:48] <_rb_> hmmm driver may have installed but printer not printing. !@#
[02:48] <rmichael> escott, Yes, in the /etc/fstab file.  /media/* automounting is not in the fstab.  What is controlling it?  (I want to configure it.)
[02:49] <imanc1> hey folks I have a "waiting for lock on localhost:xxx" type issue with a program I'm trying to run on the cmd line. What command can I use to list which processes and bound to which ports?
[02:49] <escott> rmichael, udisks
[02:49] <rmichael> escott, Ok, where is it configured?
[02:49] <Duker> any reason to get into samba prefs from the terminal? Nothing happens when I try and launch the application 'samba'
[02:49] <Duker> Any way*
[02:50] <escott> rmichael, no idea, probably cant be done with udisks. add an fstab entry
[02:50] <escott> !samba | Duker
[02:50] <escott> imanc1, lsof
[02:50] <escott> imanc1, and netstat
[02:51] <_rb_> do I un-install a driver via the software center?
[02:51] <supermanintights> hey lads - what file system should i format my usb stick to install ubuntu?  i'm running a hackintosh (so osx snow leopard)
[02:51] <Duker> ubottu: thanks :D
[02:51] <imanc1> escott: thanks - lsof did the trick. I just nuked/-9 the b******
[02:53] <Duker> No way to get into the samba settings thing where I can set up the shares? Or is it likely i've installed it incorrectly if nothing is happening after I give it my password when I try to launch it
[02:53] <rypervenche> supermanintights: If you won't be using Windows at all, ext4 is good.
[02:53] <escott> Duker, samba is a server process not a gui. you want one of the gui config utilities like swat
[02:53] <supermanintights> is it easy to set up a dualboot?
[02:54] <Duker> escott: Ahh, I see, thank you :D
[02:54] <rypervenche> supermanintights: Pretty easy, yep.
[02:54] <supermanintights> then i'll probably do a dual boot, keeping ubuntu as main
[02:54] <vouth> escott: Sorry for the delay :-P Running sudo jockey-text: http://pastebin.com/fKq5qiet and then it dropped me back to a prompt.
[02:55] <supermanintights> rypervenche, what would you recommend i do first, i have both ubuntu downloaded and windows on a dvd
[02:55] <rypervenche> supermanintights: You want to dual boot with Windows?
[02:55] <rypervenche> supermanintights: Install Windows first. Otherwise you will have problems.
[02:55] <fabiof> i have reinstalled the ubuntu 11.10 again cuz of this usb wireless pen, ubuntu dont recongnizes the pen

[02:58] <supermanintights> is wubi a windows software?
[02:58] <fabiof> yes superman

[02:59] <soreau> fabiof: Try asking your question to the channel
[03:00] <supermanintights> does ubuntu read ntfs well?  i'm just going completely away from OSX - and wondered what file system to format my usb drive to?
[03:00] <almoxarife> fabiof: specifics, make model of 'pen'???
[03:00] <soreau> oh you just did :)
[03:00] <elsid> anyone help?
[03:00] <soreau> ! help | elsid
[03:00] <fabiof> almoxarife: its a wn727n usb pen
[03:00] <fabiof> almoxarife: its a wn727n usb pen ralink
[03:00] <supermanintights> damn, osx doesn't read ntfs - any suggestions for file system that i can do from OSX, that would be read fine by ubuntu and windows?
[03:00] <lalagirl> soreau, he already asked a question, just look up
[03:00] <supermanintights> (i get the stupidity of the question)
[03:00] <escott> supermanintights, fat
[03:00] <elsid> sorry ubotti I did tho
[03:00] <soreau> lalagirl: Yea I see now
[03:01] <supermanintights> straight fat - or fat32?
[03:01] <fabiof> fresh instalation on ubuntu11.10
[03:01] <lalagirl> elsid ubottu is a bot.
[03:01] <elsid> lol awesome
[03:01] <escott> supermanintights, vfat32 (although pretty much any variant except exfat is well supported)
[03:02] <lalagirl> elsid okay what changes were lost?
[03:02] <elsid> I performed these changes
[03:02] <elsid> http://news.softpedia.com/news/Ubuntu-11-10-Desktop-Customization-Guide-242549.shtml
[03:02] <supermanintights> cheers escott et al
[03:03] <elsid> Unity is no longer on the bottom  even though all settings look the same when I go to themes or to compiz
[03:03] <fabiof> i belive iu
[03:03] <almoxarife> fabiof: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsTP-Link <-- look at the portion pertaining to you and follow the instructions
[03:03] <fabiof> i belive i need to install some backport thing but i have no internet on that other compuert maybe i can download it and place it there with a pen
[03:05] <Duker> escott: Is there an easier way to set up a home shared folder or drive without swat?
[03:07] <escott> Duker, I dont use samba so I dont know. might was the channel
[03:07] <Duker> Is there a better option than samba? I see ubuntu has nautalis?
[03:07] <almoxarife> Duker: yeah, use nautilus, right click on the folder and follow the instructions on the 'sharing' tab
[03:07] <escott> Duker, two completely unrelated things
[03:08] <Duker> escott: I see, will nautalis allow me to share folders with a windows machine on the network?
[03:08] <almoxarife> Duker: it will
[03:08] <clean> the beep command doesn't work with my computer, it worked with the computer in my lab, but it doesn't work for my own, anybody know how to solve this?
[03:09] <escott> Duker, it may have some functionality to configure some shares, but samba is the underlying implementation of the protocol
[03:09] <Duker> So keep samba and use nautalis for the share?
[03:09] <iceroot> clean: check "alsamixer" is "beep" is muted
[03:10] <iceroot> if
[03:10] <msignore> Hi
[03:11] <the-master> Hi all, I was wondering if someone could help me
[03:11] <msignore> can you help me in disk partitioning for ubuntu?
[03:11] <the-master> actually, I'm really new to ubuntu, I wish I could
[03:12] <clean> iceroot: yes, I have checked that, and have unmute it
[03:12] <escott> !ask | msignore the-master
[03:12] <clean> iceroot: when I run the command alsamixer, I can see two device, one is displayed as `default' and the other is `Nvidia ..card'
[03:13] <msignore> thanks, i've a 80GB hard disk on my laptop, and i want to install ubuntu and win xp.
[03:13] <clean> iceroot: if I turn on my usb soundbox, I can hear the beep, but when I turn it off, no sound
[03:13] <msignore> how many partition do i neeed?
[03:14] <msignore> (how many partitions with how much space)
[03:14] <clean> iceroot: the sound should be emitted from the mainboard's pc-speaker, not the usb soundbox
[03:14] <elsid> anyone help creating a new user, created new user but can't login?
[03:14] <the-master> okay, so, I've been trying to install samba on my computer, however, I can't get python-glade 2 to install, it keeps asking me to insert a disc into media/cdrom or something of that nature.  I don't have a cd, I have a pen drive that I installed ubuntu from, is there a way to install python-glade2 from the pen drive?
[03:14] <almoxarife> msignore: two for ubuntu at a min
[03:14] <escott> msignore, minimum 1 ( a / partition), recommended 2 (add a swap partition), but you can have more (other popular choices are /boot and /home)
[03:14] <clean> So it's a little strange
[03:15] <Pickleface> hello
[03:15] <Pickleface> my screen resolution has been messed up
[03:15] <Pickleface> ever since I downloaded ubuntu
[03:15] <clean> When I was using Ubuntu 9.04, I can hear the beep when I run shutdown, but no sound now
[03:15] <Pickleface> I have 10.04
[03:15] <escott> msignore, / can be as small as 10-15gigs for a common desktop. swap should be 1-2x ram depending on how much ram you have
[03:15] <v3trae> hey guys, in synaptic when I go to software sources I'm only getting out of country servers (nothing in the US). Not having much luck googling how to fix this particular problem. Any ideas?
[03:15] <clean> I need that beep as a reminder, so I tried the command beep
[03:16] <Berto> Hi - If I'm ssh'd into my remote box (which has a display open), how can I run a command and have the window open on that remote display (not MY local display, but the server's local display)?
[03:16] <Duker> I keep getting 'net usershare' returned error 255:net user/share add: cannot convert name "Everyone" to a SID. Invalid parameters
[03:16] <Duker> When setting a folder as shared
[03:17] <escott> Berto, easiest to ssh -X back to the local machine and run the command there
[03:17] <almoxarife> v3trae: did you pick a server from 'other severs'?
[03:17] <Pickleface> hello?
[03:17] <Berto> escott, LOL that would work i suppose
[03:17] <iiu7> Doesn't there exist a good console based news poster for usenet?
[03:18] <the-master> Pickleface:  Have you installed your graphics drivers and firmware?
[03:18] <v3trae> almoxarife: the other servers list is the one I'm checking. The menu which allows you to scan for the best server. There's no US servers on that list
[03:19] <lalagirl> Pickleface I love your name!
[03:19] <vouth> escott: I'm having the same problem once I reinstall jockey. Is there any nice driver management tool other than Jockey I should try?
[03:19] <msignore> i've 1GB ddr2 ram, is it a good partitioning: win xp: 58GB (15GB for WINDOWS drive, 43 for data), ubuntu: 15GB, ubuntu swap: 2GB
[03:20] <Pickleface> lalagirl: thanks :p
[03:20] <v3trae> msignore: provided theres enough space for data on all of those, that sounds fine.
[03:21] <almoxarife> v3trae: choosing 'best server' may show you outside the US servers, I like in the NW, best server chooses canadian servers for me every time, I think its got to do with ping return and voodoo , so yeah, could see it, I chose cal-davis instead
[03:21] <almoxarife> v3trae: like=live
[03:21] <lalagirl> Pickleface try using terminal and type this in: rm ~/.config/monitors.xml
[03:21] <v3trae> almoxarife: it's not JUST when clicking select best server though, Like there's literally just no US servers in the list on the left. I can't even manually select anything.
[03:22] <the-master> can anyone tell me if there is a way to install python-glade2 from a pen drive?
[03:22] <fabiof> can someone please explain me wy when i do -> "sudo modprobe rt5370sta" i get output FATAL: module rt5370sta not found
[03:22] <v3trae> almoxarife: or rather, I can't manually select anything in the US> It's just missing from the list
[03:22] <v3trae> fabiof: sounds like that module isn't in your kernel
[03:22] <almoxarife> v3trae: that would be odd and I can't see why or how to fix it
[03:22] <v3trae> fabiof: that said, I'm not an expert on the subject, so could be wrong
[03:22] <v3trae> almoxarife: yeah lol, same. Very confusing
[03:22] <fabiof> ok can i add it with no internet connection?
[03:23] <fabiof> like downloading here and place it there with usbpen
[03:23] <v3trae> fabiof: i'm not sure how to add kernel support in ubuntu tbh. My experience has always been in systems where I was compiling my own kernel.
[03:23] <almoxarife> v3trae: you tried to pick from 'other....... server'
[03:23] <v3trae> almoxarife: there is no other
[03:24] <almoxarife> v3trae: you on a vpn?

[03:41] <aBound> lalagirl, HA! Howdy  and happy early new years eve. :P
[03:41] <lalagirl> thanks aBound !!! i missed you!
[03:41] <EvilResistance> lalagirl:  don't do that again :P
[03:42] <lalagirl> EvilResistance do what again?
[03:42] <blackshirt> aBound: i want to know, is it posible to redirect python output from console to web browser ?
[03:42] <EvilResistance> lalagirl:  the post with many many chars :P
[03:42] <vouth> escott: It's a VIA KM400.
[03:42] <escott> vouth, oh via... that probably not well supported
[03:42] <lalagirl> EvilResistance i know i was just testing
[03:43] <aBound> lalagirl, HA! I missed you too lalagirl.
[03:43] <vouth> escott: I'm not sure what driver it needs— fglrx, mesa, nouveau, something?
[03:43] <EvilResistance> lalagirl:  #test ;P
[03:43] <vouth> escott: hmm.
[03:43] <fabiof> please someone help me installing rt5370sta.ko please
[03:43] <the-master> Is there a way to install python-glade2 without a CD?
[03:43] <aBound> black, Haven't much of a clue not familiar with Python. Sorry bud. :-(
[03:44] <aBound> blackshirt, Haven't much of a clue not familiar with Python. Sorry bud. hehe
[03:44] <lalagirl> the-master sudo apt-get install python-glade2
[03:44] <lalagirl> !info python-glade2
[03:44] <the-master> lalagirl: tried that, about halfway through, it asks me to insert a CD...
[03:45] <vouth> escott: Any advice on what driver to use? If it's not well supported, is there a way to make Ubuntu use the CPU for compositing?
[03:46] <lalagirl> the-master dpkg -L python-glade2
[03:46] <aBound> blackshirt, From what this module states for Python, it might be possible: http://docs.python.org/library/webbrowser.html
[03:47] <blackshirt> aBound: okey, go to link
[03:47] <lalagirl> the-master http://linuxappfinder.com/package/python-glade2
[03:47] <fabiof> ok maybe im beeing stupid but in this page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsTP-Link i see 2 cards wn727n one that uzes rt5370sta and another that uzes rt2870sta
[03:47] <aBound> blackshirt, Looks like the module exist in the Python library too.
[03:48] <fabiof> how do i know whats the one i have?

[03:48] <lalagirl> christopher hi

[03:48] <mfroes> hi guys.. i have a ext4 partition that i am trying to make everyont from the group 1001 to be able to mount and write to device. here is my fstab http://pastebin.com/MaBJuR5q
[03:49] <lalagirl> !caps | christopher
[03:49] <christopher> sorry about that
[03:49] <christopher> i really need flash xD
[03:49] <aBound> lalagirl, Tell em lalagirl. :P
[03:49] <lalagirl> christopher sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

[03:51] <Elliotthelp> Hello again
[03:51] <lalagirl> Elliotthelp Hi
[03:51] <christopher> i dont know to use ubuntu lol some idiot took out my harddrive and now im stuck with this program
[03:51] <Elliotthelp> i have another question/problem
[03:51] <christopher> ill get back my windows 7
[03:52] <lalagirl> Elliotthelp sure what is it?
[03:52] <Elliotthelp> I have installed steam using wine, but when i run steam it will say connecting to account (username) then just disapear
[03:53] <tiox> Odd request, but I want to tie sound to a keyboard shortcut using the XF86RaiseAudio key
[03:53] <pangolin> Elliotthelp: #winehq will probably be more help
[03:53] <lalagirl> Elliotthelp wine isn't the greatest of all emulators to run Windows programs...
[03:53] <veryshiny> can someone point me to a good gtk3 theme collection? I can't seem to find any besides the ones on deviantart and gnomelook
[03:53] <tiox> lalagirl: Wine Is Not an Emulator!
[03:53] <Belial`> anyone happen to be using the faenza blue dark icon set?
[03:54] <lalagirl> Elliotthelp probably better to use windows instead
[03:54] <aBound> Elliotthelp, WINE is more or less an emulator that tries to implement the Windows API.
[03:54] <tiox> Elliotthelp: Follow lala's advice and go to #winehq, but also check out the entry on Wine's appdb
[03:54] <mfroes> anyone knows how to fiddle with fstab and ext4 ?
[03:55] <somsip> Elliotthelp: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Steam_under_Linux
[03:55] <tiox> Clarifying my request: I want to know how I can invoke the sound preferences from command line so I can tie it to a keyboard shortcut, like Ctrl+XF86RaiseAudio
[03:56] <vouth> wow, wth, while I was emptying the Nautilus trash, the music playing in Banshee suddenly jumped up like 4 octaves and doubled in tempo.
[03:57] <lalagirl> vouth haha thats funny
[03:57] <escott> mfroes, use sudo blkid to identify the uuid and then make an entry for your fstab partition. it should look like your other entries
[03:57] <tiox> That is a very odd error.
[03:57] <samijam> tiox, go into settings --> Keyboard --> click on shortcuts tab and then click on custom shortcuts
[03:58] <the-master> lalagirl: Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
[03:58] <vouth> lalagirl, not when some awesome symphonic power metal suddenly comes out sounding like a bunch of preschoolers having a Christmas pageant :-D
[03:58] <the-master> CD/DVD 'Ubuntu 11.10 _Oneiric Ocelot_ - Release i386 (20111012)' is required
[03:58] <samijam> tiox, sorry, just saw the first part of your question....
[03:58] <tiox> Might be onto something there.
[03:58] <vouth> (nothing against Christmas pageants of course but still, that's not exactly how metal's supposed to sound…)
[03:58] <lalagirl> the-master just put in the ubuntu cd
[03:58] <tiox> But yeah, any time I do an xprop on anything in the contreol center it just comes up as control center.
[03:59] <lalagirl> vouth hahaaahaahahahahahahahaa that was really funny
[03:59] <tiox> control*
[04:00] <vouth> lalagirl: :-D I fixed it by unplugging and then replugging-in the cord to the speakers.
[04:00] <aBound> Now I have a simple question does anybody on 11.10 or 12.04 Alpha 1 have any broken keyboard shortcuts that can't be set?
[04:00]  * vouth is now TOTALLY mystified…
[04:00] <veryshiny> aBound I cannot bind alt-f2
[04:00] <veryshiny> I'm running 11.10
[04:01] <tiox> vouth: Makes me wanna take a metal song and pass it through a few filters in audacity.
[04:01] <aBound> veryshiny, I know what you mean except I can't bind any keyboard shortcuts.
[04:01] <aBound> I want to set crtl-z to my terminal but seems I can't set any keys to my terminal or any other app for that matter.
[04:01] <mrdeb> do you know why mouse turns off after screen goes black and not comes back
[04:01] <mrdeb> ??
[04:01] <aBound> Seems like it's broken.
[04:02] <aBound> veryshiny, I used 10.04 lts a few days ago and it worked flawlessly.
[04:02] <aBound> But I'm on 12.04 lts Alpha 1.
[04:02] <mrdeb> abound, how is it
[04:03] <the-master> abound: are you using compizconfig?
[04:04] <curiousx> aloha
[04:04] <curiousx> i have a big trouble =P
[04:04] <aBound> mrdeb, 12.04 LTS Alpha 1? Well so far it's lacking flash player, software center is unstable and it's using Firefox 10. I'm using gnome-shell and it doesn't use compiz so you have to have Unity.
[04:04] <mrdeb> do u like it
[04:04] <mrdeb> oh sorry, this is not the chat for it
[04:04] <aBound> The gnome-shell project explicitly stated they didn't want compiz.
[04:05] <curiousx> i installed "libglib2.0-cil" and now i can not remove
[04:05] <mrdeb> wellgnome shell is fortablets
[04:05] <aBound> mrdeb, I like it seems a bit more stable than 11.10.
[04:05] <aBound> Newer packages exist.
[04:05] <curiousx> i installed bia dpkg
[04:06] <aBound> Hands-down I'd take Ubuntu over any other distribution. Due to the ease of use even Linux Mint.
[04:06] <mrdeb> well idk
[04:07] <aBound> mrdeb, Alpha 1 is more bleeding edge so don't expect things to work if you intend to use it.
[04:07] <zakk> would lsb_release -a on a 9.04 server indicate that it is a server install?
[04:07] <aBound> the-master, Nope on my unity installation yes.
[04:08] <curiousx> and when i want to remove dpkg says: http://paste.ubuntu.com/786497/
[04:08] <curiousx> any idea ?
[04:09] <escott> curiousx, either touch the file or force the purge
[04:09] <the-master> abound: do you know anything about installing python glade 2 without a cd?
[04:09] <mrdeb> well thing is bound, ubuntu is good and fastand nice, but hten soon outdates and bugs set in
[04:10] <curiousx> oh! i forget de command mmm... meybe --force ?
[04:10] <the-master> mrdeb: its that way with any other GUI interface, or any OS for that matter, Android for example, or Windows.
[04:11] <mrdeb> no
[04:11] <the-master> The good thing about Linux based OS is that all the upgrades are free
[04:11] <mrdeb> yes for now
[04:11] <zakk> the bad thing is that upgrading from 9.04 seems like a serious pain in the ass.
[04:12] <the-master> Ubuntu and such prides itself in being free.  I can't imagine we'll ever have to pay for it.  At least not before they start taxing oxygen...
[04:12] <curiousx> escott: touch doesn't work
[04:12] <aBound> the-master, Nope but I would figure it'd be in the repositories but I guess not.
[04:13] <fabiof> i found the exact version of the chipset of my wireless usb pen is a RT5370 i have downloaded the driver http://www.ralinktech.com/en/04_support/support.php?sn=501 but when i go make install i give a error about the rt5370sta.ko
[04:13] <harsh343> how to install giit on ubuntu
[04:13] <escott> curiousx, then remove the file you touched and force it with --force. the error is just noting that the database is out of sync with the fs
[04:13] <harsh343> ?
[04:13] <harsh343>  GIT repositories
[04:13] <escott> harsh343, sudo apt-get install git
[04:14] <the-master> I guess I'll just have to get some blank cd's... I even brought over the .deb files and the support files to the home folder, hoping it would find them there instead of the CD
[04:14] <harsh343> escott, after that
[04:14] <harsh343> ?
[04:14] <EvilResistance> harsh343:  do you mean you want to be able to host git repositories like github does?  or do you mean just how to use git repos?
[04:14] <aBound> the-master, Flash drive might be better these days I presume CDs one day will become the thing of the past.
[04:15] <escott> harsh343, nothing after that. thats how you install git.
[04:15] <Jymmm> How can I increase the resolution?
[04:15] <EvilResistance> escott:  unless he wants to host git repos,  like github does
[04:15] <the-master> I have a flash drive, abound, that's the problem, no matter how hard I try, I can't get python-glade2 to install from it instead of a CD
[04:16] <aBound> the-master, Not even sudo apt-get install glade?
[04:16] <curiousx> escott: i tried but nothing i did: dpkg --force-remove-essential libgtk2.0-cil
[04:16] <d4nt3> how to enter hackforums.net?
[04:16] <fabiof> i found the exact version of the chipset of my wireless usb pen is a RT5370 i have downloaded the driver http://www.ralinktech.com/en/04_support/support.php?sn=501 but when i go make install i give a error " cannot stat 'rt5370sta.ko': no such file or directory"
[04:16] <fabiof> please help me
[04:16] <FloodBot1> fabiof: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:16] <pheeror> hi
[04:16] <the-master> abound: that worked, but I still can't get samba to run
[04:16] <curiousx> and dpkg --force-remove-essential libgtk2.0-cil
[04:17] <pheeror> is there a command i can pass a package name .... and it would start a gui installer for the package
[04:17] <curiousx> excuseme i mean dpkg remove-reinstreq libgtk2.0-cli
[04:17] <pheeror> something like mint-make-cmd in mint
[04:17] <aBound> the-master, I'd figure Samba would have to be configured before it can be used.
[04:17] <d4nt3> how to enter hackforums.net?
[04:17] <the-master> aBound: I can't configure it if I can't get it to run...lol
[04:17] <pheeror> software-center
[04:18] <aBound> the-master, True that.
[04:18] <pheeror> will try at work tomorrow :-)
[04:18] <escott> curiousx, you could also try reinstalling and then removing again
[04:18] <the-master> aBound: Media change: please insert the disc labeled
[04:18] <the-master>  'Ubuntu 11.10 _Oneiric Ocelot_ - Release i386 (20111012)'
[04:18] <the-master> in the drive '/media/cdrom/' and press enter
[04:18] <aBound> the-master, Tried uninstalling Samba and reinstalling it?
[04:18] <fabiof> i found the exact version of the chipset of my wireless usb pen is a RT5370 i have downloaded the driver http://www.ralinktech.com/en/04_support/support.php?sn=501 but when i go make install i give a error " cannot stat 'rt5370sta.ko': no such file or directory", please someone try to help me here
[04:18] <clear`> how can i completely remove gnome-shell, i think i have screwed up a few things and i want to start fresh with it
[04:19] <curiousx> escott: dont go give a second
[04:19] <nesoi> is there a good japanese language input for ubuntu? the default one is really quite annoying
[04:19] <aBound> Or purging samba altogether. :p
[04:19] <the-master> aBound: that's the only thing I haven't tried yet, but everything I've read says that there's a bug with Samba that requires a python-glade2 install
[04:19] <the-master> abound: is there a way to file share without Samba?
[04:19] <aBound> the-master, Ahh that's going to be a problem in itself if a bug exist.
[04:20] <escott> curiousx, you could also directly edit the postremoval file /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.postrm
[04:20] <the-master> aBound: I hacked my Wii a while ago, and it now plays movies off my network, I'd like to be able to share my movies with my Wii, and my fiance's laptop...
[04:20] <aBound> the-master, There might be but I'm not to familiar with file-sharing through Samba or any other remote file/print services.
[04:20] <vouth> How can I stop the X server temporarily for maintentance?
[04:21] <the-master> aBound:  That makes two of us, I'm a fast learner, everything I've learned, I've learned through trial and error over the last two days
[04:21] <harsh343> EvilResistance,  I have the git repository details and  i have to download Gitt which is a GUI for managing GIT repositories.
[04:21] <harsh343> I have the ssh and password, setup the Git infrastructure required to manage my Dashboard code.
[04:22] <the-master> Just changed from WinXP to oneiric
[04:22] <Guest58128> jackd 2 will not connect the error is :Cannot connect to server socket err = No such file or directory
[04:22] <harsh343> I do not know more about gitt
[04:22] <fabiof> i found the exact version of the chipset of my wireless usb pen is a RT5370 i have downloaded the driver http://www.ralinktech.com/en/04_support/support.php?sn=501 but when i go make install i give a error " cannot stat 'rt5370sta.ko': no such file or directory", please someone try to help me here
[04:22] <escott> curiousx, those scripts are actually sh scripts with #!/bin/sh -e you can remove the -e to ignore the subprocess error
[04:22] <leah> Question:  Is there a step by step for putting ubuntu's installtion cd on a partician so that you don't need a cd?
[04:22] <aBound> the-master, I feel you I learned the same way.
[04:22] <harsh343> escott, I have the git repository details and  i have to download Gitt which is a GUI for managing GIT repositories.
 I have the ssh and password, setup the Git infrastructure required to manage my Dashboard code.
[04:23] <curiousx> escott: i didnt understand at all but i'll show you something just a second
[04:23] <aBound> A bunch of time has to be spent on learning various programs and such.
[04:24] <escott> harsh343, never heard of gitt, thats a rather confusing name choice. it doesn't appear to be in apt so you would have to compile it yourself
[04:25] <the-master> aBound: my brother turned me on to ubuntu, said it was smaller and faster than XP, and I agree, but I've never had to fight so hard with an OS to get it working the way I need it to.  The first day was spent just trying to get my wireless installed, just to find out everything I needed was already on the install
[04:25] <clemont12> is ubuntu the ok
[04:25] <fabiof> so this rt5370sta.ko is loaded from kernel? or is simply a file i can download and place in that folder of kernel and it installs with no problem?
[04:25] <curiousx> escott: http://paste.ubuntu.com/786503/
[04:25] <pangolin> coolstar-pc: are you here?
[04:26] <aBound> the-master, I know what you mean but I got a preconfigured laptop even so. I still gotta find out how to get my wireless printer working with it and configure it to my likings. Yet, the kernel can only support so many drivers seeing as the drivers are reverse engineered.
[04:26] <escott> the-master, depends a lot on the hardware you have. it pays to check that the hardware is well supported before purchasing (you would be surprised how poorly windows will do on many laptops until you go to the manufacturers website to download drivers)
[04:26] <nesoi> so, no one knows about japanese language input, or there just isn't anything better than the default?
[04:26] <clemont12> is ubuntu taking over windows
[04:26] <Chief_G> is there any way to play netflix under the latest ubuntu? or 11.04 for that matter thanks
[04:26] <curiousx> and http://paste.ubuntu.com/786504/
[04:27] <the-master> escott:  Purchasing is for people with money, however...lol
[04:27] <the-master> my desktop was given to me...
[04:27] <fabiof> cmon someone can help me installing this thing please
[04:27]  * coolstar-pc is trying to speak
[04:27] <pangolin> there we go
[04:28] <curiousx> oh! maybe i know the solution give me a second escott...
[04:28] <escott> curiousx, so when you install a package apt installs a set of scripts (commands) that are supposed to be run when you uninstall the package. check the /var/lib/dpkg/info folder for a file with that package name, and change the #!/bin/sh -e at the start to not have the -e
[04:28] <aBound> the-master, I'd tell you what Ubuntu just feels better for me and the tools just seem better overall I don't have to fight to find compilers and all that other junk.
[04:28]  * coolstar-ipod is trying to speak from his iPod
[04:28] <aBound> It's integrated already.
[04:29] <escott> Chief_G, no
[04:29] <Chief_G> escott: thx
[04:29] <the-master> fabiof: have you tried unpacking the .ko file at all?
[04:29] <Chief_G> i figured that much
[04:29] <curiousx> ok, i'll try it thx
[04:30] <fabiof> the-master: im trying to make install of the drivers im new to this can i unpack it somehow that i dont know?
[04:30] <the-master> fabiof:  Right click on it and choose "extract here"
[04:31] <fabiof> i did that
[04:31] <escott> curiousx, http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/251 gives a bit of a walk-through
[04:31] <fabiof> then sudo su, make clean, make install
[04:31] <mfroes> hi guys.. i have a ext4 partition that i am trying to make everyone from the group 1001 to be able to mount and write to device. here is my fstab http://pastebin.com/MaBJuR5q
[04:32] <the-master> fabiof: what codes are you using for install?
[04:32] <fabiof> and here in when the error comes, it goves error while trying to install the rt5370 from some kernel folder
[04:32] <curiousx> escott: http://paste.ubuntu.com/786509/
[04:32] <curiousx> thx escott
[04:32] <aBound> lalagirl, Wake up. :P
[04:32] <escott> mfroes, /media/storage. its gid, but you could also use a setgid bit on the folder might be easier
[04:32] <fabiof> says missing the rt5370sta.ko
[04:32] <himmelkaiser> can someone help with a problem installing ANYTHING from ubuntu software center no matter what i try to install it says first to check internet connection even though its fine then it says that the stuff is untrusted

[04:34] <himmelkaiser> can someone help with a problem installing ANYTHING from ubuntu software center no matter what i try to install it says first to check internet connection even though its fine then it says that the stuff is untrusted
[04:34] <escott> mfroes, i dont see why you would want to use a mount option here, just use regular permissions and the setgid bit
[04:34] <the-master> fabiof: try "sudo apt-get install rt5370sta"
[04:34] <escott> mfroes, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Setuid see the portion concerning setuid and setgid on directories
[04:34] <Chief_G> how can i have different wallpapers on two different monitors, i tried wallpapoz but it didn't work on the latest ubuntu version

[04:35] <the-master> himmelkaiser: have you opened your universe and multiverse?
[04:35] <fabiof> the-master: can i download it from this computer and install on the other?
[04:35] <himmelkaiser> do what?
[04:35] <curiousx> i use nano instead of gedit =P
[04:35] <curiousx> xD
[04:35] <himmelkaiser> how do i open universe and multiverse
[04:35] <the-master> fabiof: if it is already on the computer, get-apt install won't need an internet connection
[04:35] <fabiof> ok ill try
[04:36] <curiousx> oh! i see the "-e" =)
[04:36] <curiousx> in the second line escott =) so i'll remove it
[04:37] <curiousx> hey! escott, you know to much dude

[04:38] <aBound> Anybody know where the trash folder is in gnome-shell?
[04:38] <geoffmcc> fabiof: there is no package for it. while sudo did you make, make install and then modprobe?
[04:38] <the-master> fabiof: have you tried looking under "additional drivers"
[04:38] <escott> curiousx, i actually don't. had to google for that one. my apt knowledge is fairly weak
[04:38] <fabiof> yes not listed there
[04:39] <geoffmcc> fabiof: im also seeing its a good idea to have build-essential too
[04:39] <waterDrop> am i miss somthing
[04:39] <waterDrop> something usefull
[04:39] <escott> aBound, like on the file-system or do you want an icon for it?
[04:39] <mfroes> ubuntu server stopped sending signals to the monitor after the install restart ... can only access via ssh
[04:39] <waterDrop> what is SSH
[04:40] <curiousx> escott: give a second please
[04:40] <fabiof> the-master: http://www.ralinktech.com/en/04_support/support.php?sn=501 i downloaded the driver here
[04:40] <fabiof> then tryed to install
[04:40] <aBound> escott, Yes I'd like an icon for it.
[04:40] <escott> aBound, check extensions.gnome.org there is one there
[04:40] <aBound> Can't seem to find it on gnome-shell but on unity it's no problem.
[04:40] <escott> aBound, or just open nautilus
[04:41] <waterDrop> im searching for java script code, could anyone recommending me some links? :)
[04:41] <geoffmcc> fabiof: using sudo did you make, make install and then modprobe?
[04:41] <curiousx> escott: look when i remove "set -e" give this ouput: http://paste.ubuntu.com/786515/
[04:41] <aBound> escott, I see it in my home folder thanks.
[04:41] <fabiof> geoffmc : yes but the make install get a error
[04:41] <Guest58128> jackd 2 will not connect the error is :Cannot connect to server socket err = No such file or directory
[04:42] <geoffmcc> fabiof: do you have build-essential package installed?
[04:42] <mfroes> mymonitor does 800x600 and 1024x 768 .. but it still shows cannot show use native 1024x768
[04:42] <fabiof> geoffmc : when it tryes to install the rt5370sta.ko from the lib/modules/kernel/drivers/net etc...
[04:42] <vouth> Hi again :-P I was trying to reconfigure X (from a virtual console, after running 'sudo service gdm stop'), and after I rebooted I couldn't get a graphical interface any more, but am stuck using the virtual consoles. Switching to where the GUI usually is (bound to the F7 key) shows me the tail end of the boot sequence output. Helllllp, I've been cursed!! :-S
[04:42] <fabiof> dont think so this is a 11.10 fresh install
[04:43] <escott> curiousx, you may just have to hand edit that postrm script to remove these problematic lines, or just put an "exit 0" at the end of the script to make sure it exits with success
[04:43] <fabiof> how i install that?
[04:43] <curiousx> escott: and, when i removed just the "-e" give me this ouput: http://paste.ubuntu.com/786516/
[04:43] <geoffmcc> fabiof: sudo apt-get install build-essential and then sudo make, sudo make install, sudo modprobe rt5370sta
[04:44] <curiousx> mmm... i'll try the easy way just putting a "exit 0" =P xD
[04:44] <fabiof> geoffmcc: says unable to locate build-essential
[04:45] <black_> how would i find a file based off its file permissions?
[04:45] <escott> black_, find can do that
[04:45] <black_> how tho?
[04:45] <black_> ive never had to do this.
[04:45] <ickefes> ickefes
[04:45] <black_> i can find and change, but i just want to find +x files. files that i can exec.
[04:46] <ickefes> hi guys. do you know why this shows up when i try to regsrv32 wineasio.dll?

[04:48] <hechu> Hello, I am ssh login to my desktop computer, gona to capture the screen of it. it is a framebuffer screen without X running, anybody who knows how to capture the screen? thanks.
[04:48] <escott> curiousx, glad it finally worked. im surprised its such a pain
[04:48] <black_> can i use numbers instead of flags?
[04:48] <escott> black_, yes
[04:49] <ickefes> i have downloaded several wineasio versions but i get this erro when using any of them.
[04:49] <escott> hechu, what are you trying to capture from the screen?
[04:49] <curiousx> yep
[04:49] <black_> rwxr-xr-x what numbers are these?
[04:49] <black_> im looking at a guide now..
[04:49] <curiousx> escott:
[04:49] <escott> black_, 755
[04:49] <black_> 755?
[04:50] <curiousx> i have other terrible trouble =P
[04:50] <black_> -type f to check if its file?
[04:50] <hechu> escott, i think it's a frame buffer screen. like SVGA program. actually it is a software application compiled with QT framebuffer mode.
[04:50] <curiousx> is about "apt-get update"
[04:51] <curiousx> in #backtrack-es and #backtrack-linux anyone can help me =(
[04:51] <escott> hechu, im just not clear what you are trying to capture. there is probably a *better* way to to this than what you are describing, but without knowing what you are trying to do
[04:52] <escott> black_, yeah you probably will want that too
[04:52] <black_> i added it
[04:52] <black_> im making a monitor.sh to text me when a service crashed lol
[04:53] <aBound> black_, Awesome.
[04:53] <curiousx> but anywey, i fucked up becouse i remove a bunch of stuff
[04:53] <black_> it uses sendemail tho
[04:53] <black_> :/
[04:53] <curiousx> i remove gpg key and other things =P
[04:54] <escott> curiousx, add it back with apt-key
[04:54] <hechu> escott, I am trying to capture the console screen of my desktop computer. I tried run "cat /dev/fb0 > temp.raw", it seems works, now I am trying to find a software to open the file. any suggestion? thanks.
[04:54] <black_> im going to post it later :P
[04:54] <curiousx> escott: oh! let me see
[04:55] <curiousx> escott: give a second i'll try it but first i want to paste you an ouput
[04:55] <black_> its done.
[04:55] <black_> :)
[04:55] <fabiof> the error i have when i do make install is in " install -m 644 -c rt5370sta.ko /lib/modules/3.0.0-12-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/        and in the next line it says : install: cannot stat rt5370sta.ko no such file or directory
[04:55] <black_> yay it all works perfect :)
[04:55] <bullgard4> 'man streamripper': "streamripper includes a relay server for listening to the station while you are recording." How can I make Ubuntu 11.10 GNOME Shell 3.2.1 to produce an audible sound of the stream that I am recording at the same time?
[04:56] <the-master> fabiof: did you change the directories like it says in the guide?
[04:56] <escott> hechu, i would be surprised if you can make any sense of that output. what are you actually trying to do?
[04:57] <fabiof> the-master: i have it in home/downloads i will move it to see if changes anything
[04:57] <Belial`> seem to be having trouble removing a ppa from the software center. when i click "remove" and enter my password, it does nothing.
[04:57] <the-master> fabiof: the whole unpack needs to be moved to the home folder, that may be why you are having problems
[04:57] <Belial`> the repo still remains in the list, and checked.
[04:58] <Belial`> anyone else having this problem?
[04:58] <hechu> escott, sorry my bad English. now I tied gimp, open with an raw file format, and manually adjust the width,height ad RGBA mode something, it seems works.
[04:58] <escott> !ppa-purge | Belial`
[04:59] <Belial`> thank you, escott
[04:59] <fabiof> the-master: i changed the file but the same error apears
[04:59] <the-master> did you move the whole directory over to the home folder?
[05:00] <curiousx> this update take too long =(
[05:01] <the-master> fabiof: did you move the whole directory over to the home folder?
[05:01] <fabiof> yep
[05:01] <fabiof> is in home/sta
[05:03] <black_> in terminal how do i inject into crontab list?
[05:04] <zakk> crontab -e
[05:04] <the-master> fabiof: try this http://harkko.lattu.biz/notes/rt5370_ubuntu.html
[05:04] <black_> im trying to put it into a script
[05:04] <black_> but i cant remember what remove duplicates
[05:04] <aBound> Looks like it's going to be a long-journey to grasp Linux.
[05:05] <escott> black, drop a file in /etc/cron.(hourly,daily,weekly,etc)
[05:06] <hmmm> Hello  &  Merry Christmas... I was using another distro. Debian dvd. and did a backup with back in time to my windows d  drive.  But ended up deleting the backup files while in debian. Then when i tried to empty the trash the media folder would not delete.  So I reformatted my linux partitions and even changed there positions. Now while using ubuntu i deleted a couple of files from my D drive. And was surprised to see the media folder reappear and still unable t
[05:06] <hmmm> o empty from trash  Sorry for the long explanation.
[05:06] <curiousx> escott: this is the "apt-get update" ouput =(

[05:09] <escott> curiousx, you'll have to find the bt keyserver wherever that is
[05:09] <curiousx> oh! and i'll have to add by key id, right?
[05:09] <escott> hmmm, huh? so you have files on a windows (presumably ntfs) partition that you cannot delete in windows?

[05:18] <Arcademan> guys is gnome 3.2 out I mean released out as a upgraded package on Ubuntu?
[05:19] <escott> Arcademan, 11.10 has 3.2.1
[05:20] <Malsasa> Hello, Ubuntu.
[05:20] <Malsasa> I wanna ask about C programming (i am beginner)
[05:20] <Malsasa> May somebody help me?
[05:22] <jag09> So, a question I guess. I'm having a difficult time installing Ubuntu. Some background: I received a new Gateway laptop with Windows 7 on it, I've never used any OS other than windows before, and i wanted to give Ubuntu a try. I set up a USB drive as per the Ubuntu website, but that didn't seem to run well and I didn't want to completely eliminate Windows until I knew what I was getting...
[05:23] <escott> jag09, did the liveusb boot?
[05:23] <jag09> into.  So I downloaded the windows installer "Wubi".  After several attempts, the installation keeps stalling in the same "place" at about 1 hour 56 min.  How can I get the installation to finish?
[05:23] <escott> jag09, don't use wubi
[05:24] <jag09> Not on startup.  When I would first insert it, the normal Windows explorer dialog box would come up and ask if I wanted to explore the contents
[05:24] <retrorex> Hi
[05:25] <almoxarife> jag09: where in the install process?
[05:26] <kcm1700> Please, don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). Malsasa
[05:27] <airtonix> jag09: instead of using wubi, download virtualbox for windows and create a virtual machine, then install ubuntu in the virtual machine from the .iso you downloaded. wubi is just bad news for both ubuntu and windows.
[05:27] <escott> jag09, so there are two things to deal with (1) removing wubi fixing any thing it has messed up (2) getting you a bootable usb so you can try it
[05:27] <escott> jag09, do you know if wubi has overwritten the mbr yet?
[05:27] <Rallias> is there any guiless software I can use to stream video from my server to my ps3?
[05:27] <jag09> The wubi client says "Downloading ubunto 11.10-wubi-amd64.tar.xz"  I believe it stops at the same place every time.
[05:28] <almoxarife> escott: wubi does not 'mess' windows
[05:29] <jag09> Well, I made a bootable USB, I'm just not sure how to go about installing when windows is already there
[05:29] <bullgard4> 'man streamripper': "streamripper includes a relay server for listening to the station while you are recording." How can I make Ubuntu 11.10 GNOME Shell 3.2.1 to produce an audible sound of the stream that I am recording at the same time?
[05:29] <h00k> !dualboot | jag09
[05:29] <Rallias> escott correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought wubi didn't touch the MBR but instead booted from the windows bootloader...
[05:30] <almoxarife> jag09: the suggestion about using 'virtualbox' is a good option, slower than wubi unless your cpu can run vt
[05:31] <escott> Rallias, i don't use it so i don't know. does it chainload the other way
[05:31] <almoxarife> Rallias: exactly
[05:31] <almoxarife> escott: you don't use it, but you do have an opinion!
[05:32] <escott> almoxarife, yes. it seems stupid :)
[05:32] <Rallias> almoxarife ahh splended so my grandma is getting the knack for identifying what is happening behind the scenes.
[05:32] <Rallias> 3 more years and she'll be a jolly good IT manager
[05:32] <jag09> Alrighty.  I'll forget about wubi and look at the Virtualbox option and the dual boot option.  Thanks for the help :)
[05:33] <escott> almoxarife, although that opinion was mostly based on the belief that it replaced the windows mbr. if it doesnt its not as bad as what i thought
[05:33] <aBound> brb
[05:33] <urlin2u> a grub update in the wubi will opor did overwrite the mbr, not sure if it's fixed
[05:34] <urlin2u> will/or*
[05:36] <almoxarife> escott: my reference is based on your offering opinion on a product ubuntu tries to get out to the public for the sake of creating interest in ubuntu, I used wubi, it works, it's a nice beginner for someone who is ( as I was) too afraid to toss windows!
[05:38] <urlin2u> almoxarife, here is what the designser has to say about wubi, I have checked it out semms harmless if you have some skills, and a windows recovery disc to reload its bootloader if needed. http://howsoftwareisbuilt.com/2009/03/12/interview-with-agostino-russo-wubi-ubuntu/
[05:38] <Malsasa> I am using Ubuntu One CLient on my Ubuntu 11.10. I have an account in Ubuntu One. But i could not login via Ubuntu One Client. When I enter my account information, the program stunned (loading) and ended with login screen of Ubutu One CLient again. I am using proxy to connect to internet.
[05:42] <escott> almoxarife, urlin2u's comments are why i discourage it. it seems like a lot of other options are better (ie virtualbox/persistent usb/a real install). it just seems like an idea that improved technology has reduced the need for and there are some serious risks
[05:43] <bullgard4> 'man streamripper': "streamripper includes a relay server for listening to the station while you are recording." How can I make Ubuntu 11.10 GNOME Shell 3.2.1 to produce an audible sound of the stream that I am recording at the same time?

[05:44] <basil60> hi
[05:45] <sdfsdfsd> hi
[05:45] <basil60> I was wondering if anyone could help me restore apache defaults on my machine?
[05:45] <sdfsdfsd> sudo apt-get remove --purge apache2
[05:46] <sdfsdfsd> sudo apt-get install apache2
[05:46] <basil60> and then apt-get install ?
[05:46] <sdfsdfsd> yes
[05:46] <basil60> if i have stuff in my www directory, will that remain?
[05:47] <atruno> basil yes you must clean it up
[05:47] <sdfsdfsd> yes, that should remain, may want to back up just in case
[05:47] <basil60> it's OK...i still want it..I'd just have moved it if it were to be deleted
[05:47] <sdfsdfsd> or delete rm -R /var/www
[05:47] <sdfsdfsd> as root if you want to delete
[05:48] <basil60> any gotchas with doing this?
[05:48] <atruno> why not be safe and move it before you purge ?
[05:48] <sdfsdfsd> no not really you'll just have to start from scratch again
[05:48] <sdfsdfsd> if you remove www directory
[05:48] <sdfsdfsd> you will have to recreate
[05:49] <sdfsdfsd> mkdir /var/www
[05:49] <basil60> does it matter if it's a LAMP installation?
[05:49] <sdfsdfsd> no it shouldnt
[05:49] <sdfsdfsd> mysql and php should still be installed
[05:49] <sdfsdfsd> it may remove mod-php5 but you  can reinstall
[05:50] <sdfsdfsd> with apache
[05:50] <basil60> can mod_proxy easily be removed from an apache installation - as a less drastic option?
[05:50] <aBound> I know that Perl and Python are installed by default. :P
[05:50] <upgrayeddd> Does anyone know whether Ubuntu 11.10 plays DVDs right out of the box?
[05:50] <upgrayeddd> I'm frustrated since I'm on 10.04 and it never has
[05:50] <sdfsdfsd> just delete it our of /etc/apache2 mods-enabled or mods-available
[05:50] <upgrayeddd> but I remember I got karmic to play them somehow once
[05:51] <sdfsdfsd> or both then /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
[05:51] <upgrayeddd> with 10.04 I often have to install various pieces of packages, and scripts
[05:51] <aBound> upgrayeddd, Installing VLC as your default player may or may not play dvd's automatically.
[05:51] <upgrayeddd> yet to no avail
[05:51] <erika24usa> ubuntu 11.10 how do i get to java setting
[05:51] <upgrayeddd> aBound: no dice :(
[05:51] <aBound> upgrayeddd, Is it set as your default media player?
[05:51] <upgrayeddd> yep
[05:51] <erika24usa> in yahoo spades i cant  talk in lobby
[05:52] <upgrayeddd> just doesn't recognize them
[05:52] <upgrayeddd> spins a lot, screams...and dad
[05:52] <upgrayeddd> *dead
[05:52] <erika24usa> but when i in a game i try type but it wont let me type
[05:52] <upgrayeddd> I have a 11.10 computer downstairs I'll try tomorrow to see if it'll play with
[05:53] <erika24usa> is 11.10 the latest ubuntu
[05:53] <escott> upgrayeddd, no version has ever played dvd's "out of the box" for legal reasons. you have to manually run the libdvdcss install script
[05:53] <erika24usa> imusing openjdk
[05:53] <erika24usa> icetea plugin
[05:54] <upgrayeddd> escott: I understand, but for some reason, libdvdcss never works for me :(
[05:54] <black_> there..done ;)
[05:54] <aBound> erika24usa, Use 11.10 is the latest and bleeding edge release. :P
[05:55] <erika24usa> except far openjdk
[05:55] <sdfsdfsd> to play dvds with vlc u can download & install .debs from here http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/libdvdcss/1.2.9/deb/
[05:55] <erika24usa> java
[05:55] <upgrayeddd> btw escott isn't it libdvdcss2 ?
[05:55] <erika24usa> its works
[05:55] <erika24usa> just got a glitch
[05:55] <erika24usa> bug
[05:56] <sdfsdfsd> libdvdcss2 .debs can be downloaded from vlc site http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/libdvdcss/1.2.9/deb/
[05:56] <escott> upgrayeddd, sure
[05:56] <black_> */* for crontab is every minute?
[05:56] <black_> or */[0-9] is
[05:57] <erika24usa> on yahoo spades when i join game i cant type
[05:57] <escott> upgrayeddd, the script that has to be manually run is /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh
[05:57] <almoxarife> !info ubuntu-restricted-extras
[05:57] <aBound> upgrayeddd, Hmm you tried editing  defaults.list manually within /usr/share/applications folder?
[05:57] <bullgard4> erika24usa: Yes, if you mean an official release. But there is a newer  inofficial (experimental) release.
[05:57] <zakk> when is the next LTS release?
[05:57] <escott> black_, better to sleep in a loop than to make cron wakeup everyminute to run a script
[05:57] <aBound> zakk, Somewhere in April 2012.
[05:58] <zakk> aBound: cool
[05:58] <erika24usa> bullgard4 11.10 is great
[05:58] <black_> right now i have */5 which should be every minute ending in 5
[05:58] <erika24usa> its just the java issue
[05:58] <upgrayeddd> aBound: no, but I noticed I already have libdvdcss and libdvdcss2 latest versions
[05:59] <erika24usa> sun java 6 had got old an was being knocked out of yahoo spades
[06:00] <black_> welp time for bed
[06:00] <black_> had to do a lil coding before i could sleep lol.
[06:00] <bullgard4> erika24usa: I like the graphics in Ubuntu 11.10 GNOME Shell 3.2.1. But this release has not yet implemented all widgets which I was used to. So for productive purposes I am keeping Ubuntu 10.04.3 on anther computer.
[06:01] <bullgard4> s/anther/another/
[06:01] <escott> bullgard4, have you looked at extensions.gnome.org recently. its progressing incredibly rapidly
[06:02] <bullgard4> escott: No. Not yet. I am reporting bugs and will wait for Ubuntu 12.04 Beta.
[06:02] <upgrayeddd> same bullgard4
[06:02] <aBound> upgrayeddd, You can always give this a go: http://wiki.videolan.org/How_to_make_VLC_the_default_player#Changing_the_default_application_for_videos_manually.28the_hard_way.29:
[06:02] <doom> i tried to use ubuntu 11.10 with the "old" gnome and it was just a bad version of it.. i hope that the next lts is not with this new gnome, or at least i can chose
[06:02] <edbian> upgrayeddd, spelled with 2 d's for a double dose of his pimpin'
[06:02] <aBound> doom, Unity will be used throughout most of the Ubuntu releases. Unless, gnome-shell is installed.
[06:03] <doom> oh.. erm
[06:03] <upgrayeddd> !language | edbian
[06:03] <edbian> hahaha
[06:03] <aBound> doom, Gnome 2 is old and will eventually stop development in order to move gnome-shell forward.
[06:04] <upgrayeddd> the problem isn't about the default player aBound ... it's that no dvds will play at all for some reason
[06:04] <upgrayeddd> even if I try manually Open Disc in vlc
[06:04] <doom> yes... i guess it has to evolve
[06:04] <aBound> upgrayeddd, Could be missing dependencies.
[06:04] <bullgard4> doom: Pleas use again Ubuntu 11.10 and install the package »gnome-shell« and login anew.
[06:05] <upgrayeddd> this is after installing latest libdvdcss libdvdcss2 the script in the /usr/share/... folder
[06:05] <doom> i will try that on my other computer ill see how it works
[06:05] <aBound> doom, I don't mind gnome-shell except minus the fact it doesn't carry a minimize/maximize button.
[06:05] <aBound> doom, By the way gnome-shell can't use compiz.
[06:05] <upgrayeddd> Do I have to maybe restart?
[06:06] <escott> aBound, those can be enabled with gnome-tweak
[06:06] <aBound> escott, Hmm never knew that thanks for the heads up.
[06:06] <doom> hmm
[06:06] <zakk> is ntfs mounting still restricted to root?
[06:07] <doom> im on some older computers right now anyways (pentium4)
[06:07] <zakk> in lucid
[06:07] <doom> i like some simple graphics or console stuff
[06:07] <escott> aBound, hard to find its on the wrong tab. under shell "arrangement of buttons on the titlebar" should be under windows logically
[06:07] <aBound> escott, From the pictures it doesn't seem like gnome tweak can use compiz.
[06:07] <escott> aBound, it uses mutter not compiz
[06:08] <aBound> escott, I kinda figured it was different.
[06:09] <Guest55239> #xubuntu
[06:09] <Guest55239> Hi everyone, i need help installing ubuntu 11.10 on my laptop, my laptop is a toshiba satellite L745D, when im trying to instal ubuntu it doesnt work, ive tryed with the windows installer thing and it didnt work, then ive made a usb boot stick, so when the ubuntu menu popup wich it says if i want to just try it or instal it, no matter what choice i take after the choice made my screen turn to black and there is nothing hapenning
[06:10] <aBound> escott, Do you know of the screensaver that uses like math symbols or something like that?
[06:10] <Chowder> Guest55239: error messages?
[06:10] <Guest55239> Hi everyone, i need help installing ubuntu 11.10 on my laptop, my laptop is a toshiba satellite L745D, when im trying to instal ubuntu it doesnt work, ive tryed with the windows installer thing and it didnt work, then ive made a usb boot stick, so when the ubuntu menu popup wich it says if i want to just try it or instal it, no matter what choice i take after the choice made my screen turn to black and there is nothing hapenning
[06:10] <escott> aBound, no. not even sure how to set a screensaver anymore
[06:10] <Guest55239> Chowder: no the screen is just black
[06:11] <Chowder> Guest55239: but your laptop at least boots, right?
[06:11] <DrPenguin> Guest55239: Use the Alternative Installer
[06:12] <aBound> Found it called: "Electric Sheep", uses all kinds of crazy spirals.
[06:12] <Guest55239> Chowder: yes it is, i am able to get into the first ubuntu menu, which you have the choice to only try it or instal it, then when i choose the screen just go black and nothing appen
[06:12] <Guest55239> DrPenguin: who can i do that, i am new to ubuntu
[06:12] <DrPenguin> Guest55239: you need to download the alternative iso
[06:13] <Chowder> Guest55239, I would take DrPenguin's advice. You can download the alternate install CD from the Ubuntu site.
[06:13] <Guest55239> okay thanks you very much all i will give it a try :)
[06:13] <DrPenguin> Guest55239: I have a running theory that for some reason, X doesnt come up right on newer laptops. Ive seen it happen on a few HPs
[06:13] <DrPenguin> The alternative installer is an ncurses based one.. shouldnt be too had to navigate
[06:14] <Guest55239> DrPenguin: thanks you i apreciate your help have a nice day :)
[06:14] <doom> out of topic, this is the first time i log into irc in 8 years or so
[06:15] <DrPenguin> Guest55239: no problem man, ill be here if you run into issues
[06:15] <JViz> when you download the kernel sources with ubuntu software center, where does it put it?
[06:15] <doom> any idea when a new lts comes out?
[06:15] <DrPenguin> JViz: either in /usr/src or some cache in /var/apt
[06:15] <escott> !oneiric | doom
[06:15] <DrPenguin> doom: 12.04 is the next LTS.. should be in.. what April?
[06:16] <escott> !pangolin
[06:16] <JViz> DrPenguin: I don't have /var/apt directory, and /usr/src doesn't have any .c files in it
[06:16] <aBound> escott, Are you having any trouble setting keyboard shortcuts?
[06:16] <escott> doom, sorry see the pangolin one
[06:16] <DrPenguin> JViz: it may be /var/cache/apt then
[06:16] <doom> awesome thanks :))
[06:16] <escott> aBound, in gnome3 no
[06:16] <escott> aBound, what shortcut are you trying to set
[06:17] <aBound> escott, Trying to set my terminal shortcut to use: ctrl-z.
[06:17] <aBound> Doesn't work which is odd.
[06:17] <DrPenguin> JViz: that, or I know if you do apt-get source, I think it downloads it to your current directory, or you could just install linux-source, thats the ubuntu kernel source tarball
[06:17] <aBound> I'm on Unity right now.
[06:17] <escott> aBound, i do remember the gui was confusing. didnt see that you could click on things that you could click on. ctrl-z would be a bad choice. doubt know if it would be supported
[06:17] <bullgard4> 'man streamripper': "streamripper includes a relay server for listening to the station while you are recording." How can I make Ubuntu 11.10 GNOME Shell 3.2.1 to produce an audible sound of the stream that I am recording at the same time?
[06:17] <josh9> i see japasese in all my menu. what package do i need to install to see my meunu in english?
[06:18] <aBound> escott, Worked just fine on 10.04 LTS. But the thing is though I can't set any keyboard shortcuts be it my terminal or not I don't know if it's a bug or blah.
[06:18] <JViz> DrPenguin: apt-get install linux-source appears to be installing it
[06:18] <DrPenguin> JViz: yeah, but its just a tarball
[06:19] <DrPenguin> JViz: its not "installing" a kernel
[06:19] <JViz> DrPenguin: ah, ok
[06:19] <aBound> Oh well.
[06:19] <JViz> will it untar it to /usr/src/?
[06:19] <DrPenguin> JViz: look in your curent directory, the tarball should be there.. I think..
[06:20] <DrPenguin> or it could be in usr src.. sorry.. I did this almost a month ago and I forget
[06:20] <escott> aBound, so how do you suspend an application in terminal if ctrl-z is bound?
[06:21] <aBound> escott, That must be for gnome-shell as I'm on Unity and ctrl-z does nothing.
[06:21] <aBound> escott, Doesn't matter I can't set it to any keys on the keyboard it's as if it's locked in permanently.
[06:21] <JViz> DrPenguin: thank you
[06:22] <JViz> DrPenguin: i got it
[06:22] <aBound> ctrl-alt-t launches the terminal.
[06:24] <escott> aBound, if this is the same as the gnome control-center shortcuts (not sure what unity uses) then you can double click on the text that says "Disabled" or whatever the key is and then enter the shortcut. but yes ctrl-Z is a weird choice http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control-Z
[06:24] <aBound> escott, I like ctrl-z cause it's close to the keyboard but already tried what you said before you said it.
[06:24] <aBound> Nothing seems to work.
[06:24] <aBound> :P
[06:25] <aBound> escott, Don't worry about it doesn't seem like it can be edited.
[06:25] <aBound> escott, HA! Now it works.
[06:25] <aBound> lol
[06:25] <anomaliz> is there a php channel?
[06:26] <escott> aBound, very unintuitive gui for that
[06:26] <escott> !alis | anomaliz
[06:26] <aBound> escott, Seems like a bug or something I have to tripe-click or quad-click for the shortcut to disable.
[06:27] <escott> aBound, or maybe its like a longer click or something, but i agree its very weird
[06:27] <aBound> escott, Not my terminal won't launch haha.
[06:27] <aBound> Now**
[06:27] <aBound> Ahh, man what a day with Ubuntu.
[06:27] <aBound> brb I may have to log out.
[06:29] <aBound> escott, Yeah it's more or less a bug my terminal won't launch now with either shortkey.
[06:29] <FunGoat> clear
[06:34] <aBound> Alright ya'll I'm off have a good one.
[06:34] <dinghu> haha
[06:37] <bikcmp> hi all, i'm using an hp mini 110, and all of a sudden, my trackpad buttons actually don't do anything anymore.
[06:37] <bikcmp> i'm praying this is software side.
[06:37] <bikcmp> i'm on here from my hp mini; i managed to connect using just my keyboard.
[06:37] <somsip> anomaliz: ##php from memory
[06:37] <bikcmp> is there a known setting that disables the touhpad click?
[06:38] <bikcmp> or, a way to check the mouse settings using the keyboard only?
[06:38] <DrPenguin> bikcmp: dmesg may tell you if its shut off
[06:38] <bikcmp> DrPenguin: my right button works fine
[06:39] <bikcmp> left doesn't do anything
[06:39] <DrPenguin> that sounds like hardware...
[06:39] <escott> bikcmp, you can look at xinput, but its probably faster to tab through the mouse settings gui to make sure its enabled
[06:39] <bikcmp> hrm
[06:39] <bikcmp> that's weird
[06:39] <bikcmp> and all of a sudden it came back
[06:39] <DrPenguin> rofl yeah thats hardware
[06:39] <DrPenguin> thats deff not software
[06:40] <bikcmp> so i'm essentially screwed?
[06:40] <bikcmp> #yay.
[06:40] <DrPenguin> you could rip it open and see whats wrong
[06:40] <MahaVishnu> bikcmp~ screwed out of the $10 for a mouse. then yeah. "screwed"
[06:40] <escott> bikcmp, is the touchpad working otherwise?
[06:40] <bikcmp> DrPenguin: the thing making me think it's not hw is the fact that double tapping my actual trackpad used to make it click.
[06:40] <bikcmp> it didn't work when my left button wouldn't work.
[06:40] <bikcmp> now it's working along with my left button.
[06:41] <bullgard4> 'man streamripper': "streamripper includes a relay server for listening to the station while you are recording." How can I make Ubuntu 11.10 GNOME Shell 3.2.1 to produce an audible sound of the stream that I am recording at the same time?
[06:41] <escott> bikcmp, like when the tap to click is not working can you still move the pointer
[06:41] <bikcmp> escott: yes.
[06:41] <bikcmp> to the last question.
[06:41] <DrPenguin> bikcmp: your computer is just dumb then
[06:41] <bikcmp> escott: yes.
[06:41] <bikcmp> i can, to both.
[06:41] <HermanDE> Is it possible to hide printers shared from a cups server?
[06:41] <bikcmp> just double tapping would do nothing.
[06:41] <bikcmp> which makes me think that it was just software.
[06:41] <DrPenguin> *bikcmp's pc* "I FORGOT HOW TO LEFT CLICK! OH WAIT I REMEMBER! I FORGOT AGAIN"
[06:41] <bikcmp> DrPenguin: ikr
[06:41] <bikcmp> DrPenguin: i'm saving up for another one.
[06:41] <DrPenguin> DERRRRRRR
[06:42] <bikcmp> i made the mistake of going with a netbook.
[06:42] <skegeek> Would like some help with an error that shows each time I boot. Here is a screenshot: http://f.imgtmp.com/Vgosu.png
[06:42] <DrPenguin> id rather use a tablet before a net book
[06:42] <bikcmp> ... when i could have got a computer 2 times as powerful for 20 bucks more.
[06:42] <bikcmp> DrPenguin: i have no normal desktop/laptop, too
[06:42] <bikcmp> lol
[06:42] <bikcmp> i usually outsource my stuff to my servers.
[06:42] <DrPenguin> skegeek: looks like X is having an issue probing your monitor.. is it getting the EDID?
[06:43] <escott> bikcmp, agreed, i would suspect that synaptic is suppressing what it thinks are palm presses or the like
[06:43] <skegeek> I'm not sure.
[06:43] <shadghost> Hi there, I was wondering if there was a way to only extract files that have not been extracted yet form my arcive
[06:44] <MahaVishnu> shadghost~ with your fingers
[06:44] <shadghost> I made a 40 gig .tar.gz and half way throu extracting it, my computer crashed
[06:44] <skegeek> The error starting happening after I added 1280x1024 resolution following a reboot (in which it reverted to 1024x768).
[06:44] <DrPenguin> skegeek: find out by looking at /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[06:44] <DrPenguin> skegeek: hmm.. does your monitor support that mode with the driver your using?
[06:44] <bikcmp> ok
[06:45] <bikcmp> DrPenguin: i think i know what it is. :(
[06:45] <bikcmp> DrPenguin: i think my left button is getting stuck down.
[06:45] <bikcmp> and then, that disables the trackpad's double click.
[06:45] <DrPenguin> bikcmp: well you know what to do then right?
[06:45] <skegeek> It did for a few hours before Ubuntu froze up.
[06:45] <DrPenguin> quit jerkin it on your netbook
[06:45] <bikcmp> DrPenguin: but it's so fun
[06:45] <bikcmp> :/
[06:45] <escott> skegeek, do you have settings in ~/.config/monitors.xml that aren't appropriate for that monitor
[06:45] <MahaVishnu> LMAO
[06:45] <bikcmp> i swear, i'll cut down on it
[06:45] <bikcmp> but i can't stop
[06:46] <bikcmp> DrPenguin: in all seriousness though... i don't know much about hw repair. i'm a software guy.
[06:46] <bikcmp> i could see if my dad would be willing to do it, he's only like, a 20 minute drive away
[06:46] <bikcmp> haha
[06:46] <DrPenguin> bikcmp: see if its easy to open the thing up, if your lucky, its probably just something you spilled on it and some isophrophic alcohol, highest proof you can get, will fix it
